Shen Manzhi put on his coat and rubbed Jiang Yue's head casually, as if he were comforting this lonely child when they first met. "Study hard. You and Pei Ying are the only ones among us who are still studying. Set an example for everyone." Jiang Yue's body trembled, and he didn't regain consciousness until the hand on his head left. Before he could speak, he heard her leaving. "Everyone, go back and rest early. I'm leaving first." A Fei clung to Chen Lin's shoulder and shouted drunkenly, "Goodbye, Sister Zhi!" He Jia looked at Jiang Yue's hesitant expression and tilted her head to signal him, "Aren't you going to send me off?" As soon as Shen Manzhi got on the motorcycle, she saw Jiang Yue catching up. She was holding her helmet and waiting for him to speak. Jiang Yue's chest rose and fell, and he tried his best to stay calm and said, "I... will go abroad next month." She knew that He Jiacai had told her.
"Well, if you have any difficulties abroad, please tell us. Don't suffer alone. Public security abroad is not as good as at home. You must pay attention to safety in everything." Now that they are adults, that's all she can say or give. Jiang Yue looked at her, not as paranoid as before, and just nodded, "Okay." Shen Manzhi curled his lips and said, "Go back, I'm leaving." Jiang Yue took a few steps back, watched her put on her helmet, put the key in the ignition, leaned over and drove away from Huanhai Road. He lowered his head, and a peace talisman lay quietly in the palm of his hand. The unsent heart may not be needed in the future. Then, wish her peace and joy. At ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Manzhi parked his car at a 24-hour convenience store, took a carton of milk, leaned against the front desk and asked the clerk to help heat it. Bai Hu came in from outside, "It's so cold. Has the temperature dropped again recently?" Shen Manzhi saw that he was wrapped up like a bear, "You haven't trained recently?" "Ancestor, please stop teasing me. I've been busy helping Chi Mu solve the Tianjin dock issue for the past two days, and I haven't had time to return to the headquarters." Bai Hu ordered a piece of oden, "However, there is really something wrong with the person you asked me to check last time." The clerk was a young man in his late thirties, with a tattoo on his exposed forearm. After giving the oden to the person in front of him, he walked out of the counter and picked up the "Closed" sign and hung it at the door. He closed the sliding door and walked into the back room, leaving the two of them outside. Shen Manzhi tore off the seal, inserted the straw, and gestured to him. "Du Heping, a native of Huaicheng, forty-four years old. Twenty years ago, his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident. The other party compensated them with a sum of money. Later, he lived in a temple." Shen Manzhi frowned, "A car accident twenty years ago?" Bai Hu nodded, "I still asked people from the headquarters to investigate this matter. The car accident originally recorded was a serial car accident that occurred on the highway. The strange thing is that there were other victims in this car accident, but It’s not documented.” Shen Manzhi's fingers tightened around the milk bottle. Twenty years ago... Zhan Yunqing also died in a car accident at that time. Shen Duanwen never told her the specific details.
Why hide another victim? "Who is the other victim?" Bai Hu shook his head, "The news was blocked." "Du Heping said that an old man asked him to go to a temple in Huaicheng, which made him come out of the haze. After more than ten years, during the New Year period, he suddenly came to him and asked him to leave." Bai Hu snapped his fingers and said, "At that time, the upper echelons of Huaicheng were changing positions. Was the old man he was talking about worried that something would be exposed, so he let him go?" Shen Manzhi remembered what Du Heping had said about her mother. They had crossed paths twenty years ago, "It's possible." "Du Heping has no criminal record. After the death of his wife and daughter, he has lived no different from a monk in the past twenty years. The person asked him to leave, but did not keep it secret to avoid future troubles. Either, the matter was not serious, or, It's Du Heping who holds the handle on him." She knew what Bai Hu wanted to do, "Go to him directly, he will alert you. Let's check the old person he mentioned first." "Okay, I'll go back to Huaicheng tomorrow." "Du Heping, please protect him temporarily. Once the other party finds out, I'm afraid he will be silenced." Bai Hu was slightly surprised, then nodded. After drinking the last sip of milk, Shen Manzhi reached out and pulled off the wind chime hanging at the door, and the clerk came out. She lowered her eyes and looked at the cigarettes on the bottom of the counter. After hesitating for a while, she only took a stick of jelly beans and left two coins. The motorcycle stopped in front of the convenience store, and Baihu drove her to the airport. There are still twenty minutes left before the appointed time. "Is there any smoke?" Baihu thought to himself, why didn't he get it at the convenience store? But he still dug into his pocket and said, "This cigarette is a bit choking and not suitable for you." Shen Manzhi got out of the car, took out one and put it in his mouth, leaned against the car window, picked up the lighter in the storage box and lit it, "Go back." These few times I smoked, the man took me away halfway. Bai Hu turned his head and looked at the brightly lit airport behind her, which was full of people. The blurry light shadows shrouded the woman's body, making her look a little lonely. "Ancestor, everything goes well." His hair on the temples was blown to the corners of his eyes, and Shen Manzhi raised his red lips lightly, "See you next time." She stood on the side of the road outside the airport, with traffic rushing back and forth, and the people around her hurriedly coming and going, all turned into shadows. Only she, the smell of loneliness on her body was too heavy. It was as if I saw her for the first time outside the Kyio Club. She was a cold and beautiful woman, unconcerned with the world. Qin Yanfeng sat in the car, twirling the diamond ring in his hand and looking silently at the person across the street. the last time. Shen Manzhi was thinking about what she had discussed with Bai Hu half an hour ago. Someone came over, but she didn't even notice. It wasn't until the person got closer that she felt more and more familiar. Qin Yanfeng. There was still half a cigarette in her hand, so she held it in her mouth and bit it, so her expression became more provocative. This time, it was her, looking at this person expressionlessly without saying a word.
He stood two meters away from Shen Manzhi, "Are you coming back?" Didn't take the cigarette out of her mouth. If you can't give him an answer, you can't let him wait forever. Shen Manzhi chewed on his cigarette and blew out the smoke, "I won't come back." His jaw tightened, and he still doesn't know why she left. "Why are you leaving?" Shen Manzhi took the cigarette from his mouth with two fingers, trying to ignore his suddenly depressed mood, and curled his lips, "There are too many people who want my life, I can't just sit back and wait for death." "You can choose me." He had a hundred ways to keep her, but none of them were what he wanted. "But I'm not your best choice." His eyes were a little dry, Qin Yanfeng's voice was hoarse, "You don't accept my feelings and you pester me again. What do you think of me?" Shen Manzhi had never felt defensive about Qin Yanfeng's show of weakness, but this time she was no longer soft-hearted. "Sorry, I put the divorce agreement in the living room drawer." Qin Yanfeng's body trembled slightly, and the tail of his eyes turned red. Those scenes of their ears and temples rubbing together seemed to reappear, but he couldn't catch the person who was about to leave his arms. "Shen Manzhi, think about it, I won't look for you after you leave." She lowered her eyes and raised her eyes again. The neon light reflected in her eyes, and she couldn't tell whether it was the fine light and shadow or the watery light. "Qin Yanfeng, I am not your destination." The phone rang again, giving the dull atmosphere a moment of respite, and this time she answered it. "Look behind you." Wen Lin stood at the door, looking in this direction. Shen Manzhi held the cigarette with his hand behind his back. He broke it with one hand and pinched it out. His fingertips were burned. She put down her phone and said lightly to the person in front of her, "Go back." She said this sentence no less than three times tonight. Qin Yanfeng watched her walk up to a tall man, and they walked into the terminal side by side. The last time, he failed to keep her after all.
