The first words Tang Qian said when he came back from school made Song Qiaoyu almost choke on her water.
"What's wrong with Zhu Li?"
Song Qiaoyu's expression was a bit indescribable: "Why do you ask this?"
"She didn't go to school today." Tang Qian shrugged. "Yang Lexin was not here in the morning, but she came back in the afternoon, saying that Zhu Li was sick and wanted to send her materials. Everyone would feel suspicious if he fell ill at this time. ?”
They sat at the door of a rarely visited used bookstore on the corner. The books here are sold by the pound, and the people who come here buy and sell in bundles, relying on regular customers who already have this habit of buying books. Not many people stay here for a long time, at most they just wander around in front of the stall.
It was Tang Qian who discovered this rare and secluded place earlier. The shop owner is deaf and likes to read. He only stares at the door and the stalls in front of the shop with his peripheral vision, so they chat in the shop without fear of being crowded.
"That doesn't prove that something must have happened." Song Qiaoyu tried to argue with him, "Such a big thing happened in Zhu Li's family, and she has been mentally and physically exhausted recently and got sick. Doesn't this logic make sense?"
Tang Qian glanced at him.
"Yesterday we suddenly went to the cafe, and you had no preparation. It was strange. Later it became clear that this was a scheduled intelligence handover task, because you had been paying attention to the time before.
Therefore, there is only one reason I can imagine. Originally, a police officer was responsible for handing over intelligence, but something happened to him temporarily, and you need to be nearby to take over. Coincidentally, that time happened to be right after our late self-study classes. "
"...Why don't you just analyze what the police officer did?" Song Qiaoyu couldn't help it anymore.
Tang Qian turned his head and looked at the crowds coming and going outside the glass window: "It's not impossible. I asked my classmates during the day and Zhu Li went to make up classes yesterday, but did not attend evening self-study. This time is very special.
I pretended not to know that Zhu Li was not here, and expressed my doubts about not receiving her homework. I got the teacher to tell me that Zhu Li was going to take care of her mother's discharge from the hospital, and asked for leave from Teacher Liu. . But this point conflicts with Yang Lexin's rhetoric. "
Forgot, this kid is still a department representative, so he can get closer to the teacher naturally.
Song Qiaoyu took a deep breath.
But Tang Qian's narration has not stopped: "Yang Lexin and Zhu Li are good friends. Generally speaking, she has no reason to lie for such a normal thing. This creates a contradiction.
Based on the fact that Zhu Li didn't come back all day, Yang Lexin's statement is more consistent with this theory. These conclusions are all based on the same topic of Zhu Li's whereabouts, but why are the two statements different? "
"Why?" Song Qiaoyu could only agree. This kid has obviously already come to a conclusion in his mind, and yet he still comes here to show off, which is simply despicable.
"I can only draw one conclusion. The first one to take care of the mother was earlier, because the originally expected time may be shorter. This is the statement given by Zhu Li. The second one is to extend the period in a reasonable way. Time, because the truth cannot be disclosed. Just like my excuse for not having tutoring and attending evening self-study is that there are training classes outside in the evening." Tang Qian could almost be said to be here with a straight face and not give up.
"There is an obvious time difference between the two statements. The extension of time cannot be a whim. And if it is true that Yang Lexin got ill accidentally, Zhu Li took care of her mother and was discharged from the hospital. It happened to be discovered that she was ill at this time, and it happened that a police officer suddenly had something to do. Let me put it on you - the probability of all these things colliding together, Officer Song, can you guess what it is?"
He even used honorifics.
"...Why didn't you ask Lu Yao during the day?"
Tang Qian answered quickly: "Because Officer Lu was busy playing with his mobile phone in class and had no time to communicate with me. And she and I are not familiar with each other. If we interact too closely, it will easily arouse suspicion."
This is a statement of high emotional intelligence. If Tang Qian's emotional intelligence was any lower, I'm afraid the reason he would give was "I think Officer Song is easier to bully, so I picked such a soft persimmon to pinch."
"Zhu Li was being followed, and someone went to protect her and drive the bad guys away." Song Qiaoyu didn't feel that she could hide it well, or that there was anything wrong with saying such a thing, "Okay? This should be Can I warn you not to run around and be careful about being fucked by someone?"
Unexpectedly, Tang Qian still shook his head.
"There are other details."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because you obviously didn't come back after walking around outside today." Tang Qian sighed, "It's so sunny today, it's impossible to wander outside without sweating at all, and you are in such a state now. If I'm not wrong, , the most you did today was hang out in front of my house and use the fan all day, right? Your sudden change is probably because of what happened to Zhu Li last night? "
Indeed.
The bomb that almost caused a big incident in Zhu Li's house not only frightened several police officers from the third team who followed the situation into cold sweats, but even reported it to the bureau, which directly raised the importance of the matter to a higher level.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. If something went wrong, it wouldn't just be Zhu Li's own home that would be blown up.
Although the small bomb at the gate had a limited yield and only burned a mango tree, it can be explained to the outside world as a small fire caused by the explosion of the battery of the electric car.
But then the bomb that was packed and taken away was examined. Not only was it discovered that it was a bomb that could be remotely controlled, but the most important thing was that it was placed near the gas stove in the kitchen. It was obviously a last ditch effort to ensure that Zhu Lixia's dead hand would be killed.
Because of this, Song Qiaoyu was also told to pay more attention. While the task of protecting Tang Qian is going on, you must pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people near Tang Qian's home.
Will make lethal remote-controlled bombs. This time the suspect has absolute destructive power and seriously endangers public safety.
Song Qiaoyu had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Actually, you don't need to explain it to me. After all, I just expressed my opinion and I didn't reach any agreement with you." Tang Qian got what he wanted, but he became frank to a certain extent and said with a smile, "It can make you be Come on, I’m actually a little surprised.”
Listening to the words of the protected person next to him, Song Qiaoyu suddenly thought of his old partner who liked to tease him, and now he didn't know which department he was looking for another high-level position in.
But he still kept his expression calm: "Actually, I wasn't deceived by you. It's just that there are some things that I absolutely cannot tell you. Even if it makes you more vigilant, it would be a good thing for me."
Tang Qian was noncommittal.
"I think it shouldn't be a big deal to ask me to help and get some news that I care about." Tang Qian finally got to the point and raised his eyebrows at the same time, "I think it's a bit too arrogant for me to talk about cooperation with you. But since I can cause some trouble that you don’t know about, I should at least be of some use, right?"
"You just come to the conclusion." Song Qiaoyu sighed, "I don't want to deal with you, and I don't have the time. Although this sentence may not be credible, I actually have a good temper. For someone who is really impatient, I may have been with you now. You keep your distance and stop communicating normally.”
"Zhu Li was targeted for a reason." Tang Qian seemed to be a little nervous at this time. "She has a special status. She should have seen something she shouldn't have seen before she was regarded as a suspect. Those people thought it might influence Anyone who gets involved in his own plan should be eradicated, no matter whether it is harmless or not, it is better to kill the wrong person than let him go. So, now there is an idea that may catch them."
"You mean..."
"Do you still remember what I did at the beginning?" Tang Qian stabilized his mind, lowered his head and glanced at the mobile phone in his pocket, "Even a girl whose possibility of remembering what happened is almost zero If you don’t let it go, maybe they are already frightened birds now. All they need is a little stimulation to make them think they have captured it.”
Song Qiaoyu watched Tang Qian turn his head and then looked outside.
"Tang Feng was my original name." Tang Qian gritted his teeth, seeming to remember that unforgettable past of his. "It's impossible for them to not notice it at all, but they just couldn't find the child."
In the flow of people, everyone may have a different past, but not everyone has a dangerous past that tugs at the heartstrings, and not everyone is immersed in reminiscing about the past all day long, entangled with an invisible bond that cannot be broken away for more than ten years. as long as.
Tang Qian always had only one goal.
"You want to be bait?"
"I want to get them to the ending they deserve as quickly as possible."
