When the car left the old neighborhood, Huo Cai laughed heartily. He held the steering wheel with one hand and patted Li Muhan on the shoulder with the other.
"Hahahaha, you boy, you have the guts! I saw the right person! Even though you didn't even turn on the fucking insurance just now."
Li Muhan coughed after being slapped by him, so he could only keep reminding him to drive well.
"Why did you kid think of pulling out a gun?"
"Captain, didn't you wink at me and ask me to take action?"
"Ah? What I mean is that after I do it, you start the car first so that we can run away immediately."
Li Muhan was speechless. It turned out that he had misunderstood Huo Tian's meaning.
But judging from the results, Li Muhan obviously handed over an answer of 120 points.
Even Yin Qi said calmly.
"well done."
Then several people talked about the case again. Li Muhan thought he would go back to the bureau first, but Huo Tian made a big circle and found a hidden place to park his car near the entrance on the other side of the old street.
"Are you going to go back and fight back?"
Li Muhan asked.
"It's useless if you don't find any evidence."
Huo Tiandian took out his cigarette case and handed one to Li Muhan, but Li Muhan said that he did not smoke.
"Okay, get out of the car. Madam needs to change."
"Huh? Oh oh."
Li Muhan understood instantly, but he didn't seem to understand why he needed to change clothes.
It was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and winter nights always come quickly.
Li Muhan and Huo Tian came to the wall not far from the car and leaned against it. Huo Tian lit up a cigarette, puffed out his eyes happily, looked at Li Muhan and handed over the cigarette case.
"Have one?"
"Don't smoke."
"Okay, why are you pretending? You want to leave a good impression in front of the girl. I understand. It's just the two of us."
"Captain, I'm so stupid."
Li Muhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he was laughed at by Hao.
"I'm just cherishing my life. Who says that if you don't smoke, you're useless? You just said you were right."
"For the occasion, I want to help you gain a good impression in front of the girl. How about it? Which one do you like, Tao Zi or Xiao Yin? Do you want me to give it to you..."
Seeing that Huo Tian was getting more and more confused as he talked, Li Muhan quickly asked him to stop, and then brought the topic back to the case.
"Do you think it's Zhou Zhiguo?"
Li Muhan asked Huo Tian, but Huo Tian threw the question back to Li Muhan.
"What do you think?"
"I think, well, it's hard to say. He gives me the impression that he is an honest and friendly middle-aged man, but you can't judge people by their superficial appearance, but there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious in his family."
"indeed."
The atmosphere fell into silence again.
Huo Tian squatted by the wall, smoking one cigarette after another. Li Muhan noticed that he seemed to be looking at something. When he got closer, he saw that it was a necklace pendant.
The lid of the pendant was open, and inside was a photo.
"Handsome?"
Huo Tian suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Muhan.
"ah?"
"This is my son, handsome or not."
Huo Tian proudly showed the photo in the pendant to Li Muhan.
Li Muhan saw in the photo a young man wearing a police uniform, with a tall figure and a heroic face, the typical image of Wei Guangzheng in the story.
"Handsome and upright."
"Hehe, of course, this is my son."
Speaking of this, Huo Tian took another deep breath of cigarette.
"If I can continue to be a police officer, I will definitely be the chief material in the future."
Li Muhan knew that the young man in this photo could never continue to be a policeman. His life would always stay five years ago.
"team leader."
Li Muhan squatted next to Huo Tian.
"Is this why you joined the Special Administration?"
Huo Tian didn't answer, just stared at the pendant in his hand and the child in the photo.
After a long time, he said without answering.
"After the child's accident, his mother divorced me. It was the most painful period in my life. I carried a gun and ran to Zhou Zhi's country every day. I was warned many times. The last time, I couldn't hold it back and shot his leg off."
At this point, Huo Tian smiled bitterly.
"The police uniform that I had worn for decades was taken off like this."
"Then the Special Administration came to find you?"
Huo Tian nodded.
"It was the forestry bureau who came to see me in person. The first thing she said when she saw me was to apologize to me because she could not find the real murderer of my child. At that time, I was still very angry and I kicked her out."
Li Muhan wanted to laugh when he thought of Lin Ze being kicked out of his house, but due to the current atmosphere, he held it back.
"Hahahaha, you don't know the expression on Bureau Lin's face at that time."
Instead, Huo Tian laughed.
"She came three times and was chased away by me three times. The fourth time she kicked my door to pieces. The security door was so thick. Her thin arms and legs actually kicked my door open. The security door was kicked open, and then guess what she said to me."
"What?"
"Three visits to the thatched cottage should be enough, isn't it sincere enough?!"
"Hahahahahaha."
This time Li Muhan couldn't hold back and laughed along with him.
"Then the Forestry Bureau directly dragged me to the headquarters of the Special Management Bureau, and then introduced me to the situation of the Special Management Bureau and asked me if I wanted to join. In fact, what she did was illegal. I had not expressed my intention to join the Special Management Bureau. Logically speaking, You shouldn’t go to the headquarters.”
"She seems to have violated the rules for my situation this time."
"Lin Bureau is a good person. She gave me hope of rebirth."
"She gave you a chance to avenge your son?"
After hearing Li Muhan's words, Huo Tian was stunned for a moment, then closed the pendant lid with a snap, then turned his head and blew out a puff of smoke towards Li Muhan.
"The pattern, the pattern is open, your pattern is small. It is true that I joined the Special Administration Bureau with a revengeful mentality at the beginning, but in the past five years of work, I know how important the Special Administration Bureau is to the survival of mankind. significance."
"Captain, have you been brainwashed?"
"Fuck you, a little brat like you knows a thing. Although I don't know where your demonic power came from, I can guarantee that if you go to accept that training, you will be the first to be eliminated."
Li Muhan understood that if humans want to have the power to fight aliens, they must endure inhuman tests.
And he seemed to have awakened Barr's demonic power only after being beaten half to death by Zhao Qiankun.
It's really unfair to people like Huo Tian to say this.
"Boy, are you really not considering joining the Special Administration Bureau?"
"Am I not interning with you?"
"No, I can see that you won't join now."
Huo Tian stared into Li Muhan's eyes, and Li Muhan felt as if he had read through his own thoughts.
That's right, Li Muhan doesn't plan to join. Now he just wants to know more about how the Special Administration Bureau works so that he can get around more easily in the future. He doesn't want to become a dog on a leash.
"That's fine, that's fine."
Huo Tian slowly stood up.
"A child like you shouldn't step into this world of no return."
Li Muhan also stood up, but just as he was about to ask something, the sound of a car door closing was heard behind him.
Li Muhan looked back and saw that Su Xue had taken off her black suit and trousers, put on a sportswear that was easy for movement, and was carrying a guitar case behind her.
She was wearing a woolen hat on her head and a mask on her face. Li Muhan almost didn't recognize her for a moment.
Yin Qi was similarly dressed, but she didn't say much. She walked up to Huo Tian and pointed at the watch on her wrist.
"At 19:35, I went in."
"Go ahead."
Huo Tian was still smoking, but he just nodded, and Yin Qi put on a mask and walked into the old street alone.
"Captain, brother Muhan, I'll leave first too."
Su Xue waved to the two of them and walked into the old street.
"What are they going to do?"
Li Muhan asked as he looked at the two people disappearing into the night.
"Everyone does his job."
Huo Tian seemed to have answered Li Muhan's question, but he didn't seem to.
At this moment, Li Muhan's cell phone rang.
"Just answer it, I might not be able to answer the phone later."
Huo Tian threw away the cigarette butt, lit a new one and said.
Li Muhan picked up the phone and looked at it, and immediately frowned.
Because the caller ID clearly showed Gu Ruoxi's mother's number.
"Hi, Auntie."
"Xiaohan, aunt is asking you, what's going on with Xiaoxi."
Gu Ruoxi's mother sounded very anxious on the phone, as if she already knew about Gu Ruoxi's disappearance.
"You already know?"
"The police called me and asked if we could contact Xiaoxi. We called her mobile phone, looked for her on WeChat, and called the school, but we couldn't find anyone."
"Auntie, don't worry. The police are currently searching for her. Nothing will happen to Gu Ruoxi."
Gu Ruoxi's mother's voice on the other end of the phone was almost crying.
"Xiaohan, you must find Xiaoxi. You two are so good. Auntie, please..."
From what I heard, it seemed that Gu Ruoxi's mother didn't know that she had broken up with her daughter.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find her."
Li Muhan knew that he couldn't give the old man such hope. He had no ability to find anyone. He had to rely on Huo Tian and the others, but he didn't want Gu's mother to be heartbroken.
After all, no matter how Gu Ruoxi treats him, the old couple has treated him very lovingly since he was a child. After the accident in the orphanage, it was the old couple who took him in.
So they can be considered half of Li Muhan's parents.
"Hey, Xiaohan."
The next person to speak was Gu Ruoxi's father.
"We have already bought a ticket to Tianhai City. We will arrive in Tianhai City tonight. Don't worry too much. Now that police technology is so advanced and surveillance is everywhere, Xiaoxi should be fine."
Li Muhan was a little touched. The old father must be very anxious himself, but he was still comforting himself at this time.
"Well, uncle, I will arrange a place to stay after you two elders come over. Don't worry, I will find Gu Ruoxi."
After comforting Gu's mother for a few more words, Li Muhan hung up the phone, but at the same time he felt that his heart must be heavy.
"Feeling stressed?"
"Um."
"Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't say such nonsense."
Huo Tian smiled and shook his head.
"You are taking the responsibility on yourself. Who are you, this girl?"
"Ex-girlfriend."
"Oh, ex-girlfriend."
Huo Tian dragged out the word "qian" for a long time, then glanced at Li Muhan meaningfully, and finally patted Li Muhan on the shoulder and said.
"Don't worry, we won't tell Xia Yue about this."
"Ah? What does it have to do with her?"
"Hey, you don't understand women. You're out in the middle of the night running around for your ex-girlfriend. Do you think Xia Yue won't be jealous?"
"Captain, Xia Yue and I are innocent!"
Li Muhan was anxious.
Just when he was eager to explain, Huo Tian retracted back into the car. Li Muhan quickly followed, only to find that Huo Tian was lying on the back seat of the car with his eyes closed.
