Chapter 131: Get out of my way, lovebirds!
Xie Qingcheng didn't say anything.
When Chen Lisheng was buried, Xie Qingcheng saw it with their own eyes, and they did a farewell ceremony to confirm that the deceased was Chen Lisheng.
What's more, if Chen Lisheng is still alive, why didn't he send this video to Chen Man earlier?
Chen Man also gradually came back to his senses in this silence.
He collected himself, "...... I'm sorry, brother, I lost my temper. I was really hoping he ...... he was still alive ......"
Xie Qingcheng poured a cup of hot tea, pushed it to him, and indicated him to drink some, then said, "It's alright Chen Man, you don't need to explain so much, I can understand."
"Brother Xie, but I really can't help but think, is there still a one in a million chance of him surviving ......? You also know, Zheng team side has always had a mysterious informant, I received this volume of video from the beginning, I was thinking, that mysterious informant will not be my brother, I ......" Chen Man clutched the teacup, abruptly lowered his head, tears rolled down in his eyes.
"I know it's unrealistic, however, I investigated the courier trail of this video, conducted fingerprinting, biochemical verification, and the result is that the person who sent the courier didn't reveal any private information, and the anti-tracing ability is very professional. I then thought that my brother is an amazing cop, if it was him, he could have done all these." Chen Man paused, "But--"
"But you know in your heart it won't be him."
"......" Chen Man countenance, "So what do you think, that handwriting ......"
"Handwriting can be imitated. It's also possible that the handwriting was indeed left by your brother years ago, only that this video has long since fallen into someone else's hands."
"......"
"Chen Man, your brother is gone. That's a fact."
Chen Man closed his eyes.
Yes, he would go to Chen Lisheng's tomb several times a year. Every year, he would go to Chen Lisheng's tomb several times, not only for the winter solstice and the Ching Ming Festival, but also when he had something troubling him, Chen Man would go to the cemetery to talk to Chen Lisheng and sit in front of the tomb for a while.
Despite the fact that this brother was not born from the same mother as himself, the two brothers were very close, so even though he had watched his brother's body being buried in the first place, Chen Man could not help but hope that the mysterious informant, who had never been revealed, was his elder brother.
Xie Qingcheng : "What's more, Chen Man, have you ever thought that even if your brother he was the informant, he couldn't have sent you the video after so many years."
Chen Man lowers his head, "......"
He was not stupid, he knew in his heart that if Chen Lisheng had such an important video in his hands, he should have given the information to the police for filing, and then let the police investigate Huang Zhilong, and would not have kept it for himself.
Even if Chen Lisheng had already distrusted the police department at that time and didn't give out this important videotape. But as long as he is still alive, for more than ten years, it is time for him to find a police officer that he can trust to hand over this volume of footage, without having to wait for his brother to grow up and then send the footage to his brother.
All in all, the idea that Chen Lisheng is a mysterious informant, while exciting, is completely untenable once you calm down and think about it.
And who the hell sent this footage out?
How did the other guy know so much about Chen Man's house, even that he had an old TV set that could read video cards?
"Have you told anyone else about this?"
"No more." Chen Man shook his head.
Xie Qingcheng: "Okay. Let's not talk about it for now. Huang Zhilong's network of connections is too complicated, we can't tell who the biggest black cop is."
He paused.
"It's also not clear which side the person who sent the video was on, as Zhao Xue apparently cut out a section in the middle after she said she had a new discovery that needed to be documented. Is it possible that she said something that involved the interests of the person who sent the video? If that's the case, then it's hard to say for what purpose the other person sent you this video."
Chen Man was silent, it seemed that it was not that he had not thought of this. It was just that he had been thinking about his brother in his heart, and with his obsession, he refused to see it clearly.
Xie Qingcheng saw Chen Man's inner activities, he added: "In fact, relying solely on such a very low-definition self-recorded video there is no way to seize Huang Zhilong's company headquarters, and acting hastily will only alert the snakes, which I think you are also very clear about."
Chen Man: "So what do we do now?"
For a moment, Xie Qingcheng thought about telling Zheng Jingfeng, but Zheng Jingfeng has been following up on the murder of the actress, and his cell phone is often off the hook.
The two men talked it over, and the end result was still to wait as well.
Only wait first.
Xie Qingcheng himself is not in a good state, but he is more worried about Chen Man's psychology, he repeatedly urged Chen Man: "If there is anything you can find me to say, don't do anything rashly, although this video is very worthy of scrutinizing, there are too many doubts hidden inside, you can't be impulsive, you can't act rashly. When Lao Zheng has a little bit of time, we'll ask him to meet with us and follow up this situation to him."
Chen Man didn't say anything.
Xie Qingcheng asked again with some apprehension, "Do you remember?"
Chen Man, now, responded absentmindedly.
The meal was tasteless and ended like this. Xie Qingcheng and Chen Man walked out of the restaurant together, Chen Man's eyes were still red, and before they parted, he finally adjusted his emotions and said to Xie Qingcheng, "Brother, I'm in a terrible mood today, I hope I didn't make you think I'm useless... ..."
"You're only in your early twenties, don't ask too much of yourself." Xie Qingcheng said, "How did you get here today, driving?"
"Well, I'll take you back first. The car's over in the parking lot, you have to walk a bit, you get photographed and ticketed here."
Before Chen Man could finish his sentence, two arrogant honking sounds were heard.
The two of them turned around together and saw a flamboyant Lambo parked in front of the Vegetarian Restaurant, the window of which was lowered to reveal He Yu's expressionless face.
Holding the steering wheel in one hand, he didn't even look at Chen Man, and drove the car forward a bit, stopping the passenger door right in front of Xie Qingcheng.
"Get in the car." He Yu unfolded each of the tickets he was holding between his fingers, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I've been ticketed four times."
"......"
Xie Qingcheng didn't have to think to know that He Yu had located his cell phone again.
Chen Man saw He Yu driving to pick up Xie Qingcheng, even if his brain was still dim, he was stunned at this moment. He looked back and forth at these two people--weren't they arguing before?
Xie Qingcheng : "Hurry up and get the hell out of here in your shitty car."
He Yu: "If you don't take my car, do you want to take his car?"
Chen Man: "......"
Xie Qingcheng : "Do I have no legs of my own or no money? I can't take a fucking cab back?"
He Yu was lying on his stomach on the window, and he said, "You're on my way."
"......"
"It can be energy efficient."
I've never seen anyone driving a sports car and talking about energy efficiency.
Xie Qingcheng lazily ignored him, and finally greeted Chen Man, patted Chen Man's shoulder, and said, "Relax, you can come to me if you have any problems." And then in front of the two youngsters face called a car, really so in the taxi away.
As soon as Xie Qingcheng left, He Yu's eyes with love and laughter sank, and his gaze finally landed on Chen Man. Looking at that posture, he looked like he wanted to skewer Chen Man.
"What did you say to Xie Qingcheng? Why did he tell you to call him anytime?"
Chen Man, even if he has a good temper, will be angry when he encounters this kind of inexplicable cross-examination.
Not to mention the fact that he was already in a bad mood right now.
He said, "I'm sorry, it's a private matter between me and him."
He Yu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Personal matters ...... That's fine, so let me ask you one that's not considered personal - is this restaurant good?"
Chen Man stared at him unexpectedly, obviously confused by his question.
All of a sudden, ask what restaurant?
Despite his integrity and relatively slow emotional radar, the look in He Yu's eyes right now was so naked that Chen Man vaguely sensed something was amiss.
He couldn't be sure, yet his voice had gone cold with some wariness, "Well, it's fine."
"Vegetarian meals aren't boring?"
"I think it's very light, my favorite type."
He Yu narrowed his eyes for a moment and smiled, "Mr. Chen does have unique tastes."
"After all the questions you've asked me, can I ask you one." Chen Man said.
"You say."
"Why are you here."
"Is this place off limits to private property?"
"I didn't think it was a coincidence, and you came all the way to pick up Shea, why?"
He Yu lowered his eyes, his demeanor gentle, but his tone sharp, "I'm sorry, but this is our private business. If you find it strange, you can ask him about it."
Chen Man couldn't help but sink his face.
The more he looked at him, the more he felt that He Yu's reaction was not right, but He Yu was like a colorful and weird demonic flower, and a pure person like Chen Man could not understand his joys and sorrows at all.
A feeling of heartburn couldn't help but burn up at such a confrontation.
Chen Man said, "He Yu, what really happened between you and Xie?"
He Yu laughed a little inside the car, as if he thought Chen Man had asked an interesting question, "Does Officer Chen really want to hear it?"
"Yes."
He Yu smiled and nodded, suddenly fished the pack of cigarettes from the car, they were the same brand as Xie Qingcheng often smoked lately, he didn't like to smoke, but when he wanted to smell Xie Qingcheng's scent, he would take one out for a quiet sniff-he snapped the cigarette and lit it, biting it between his lips and teeth. then took a drag, peeked out the car window, and waved at Chen Man.
Chen Man, thinking he's about to tell himself something, walks over, lowers his head, and bends his ears with a stern face.
He Yu suddenly exhaled the smoke and mist, dropping his eyelids to cover the flow of his eyes, and he whispered to Chen Man in the midst of this pervasive green smoke, "I especially hate him, playing with him."
Chen Man: "......"
"By the way, this store has a good sweet and sour lotus root folder, I like it, do you like it?"
Leaving such a meaningful sentence, He Yu shifted gears, kicked the gas pedal and left.
Xie Qingcheng met Chen Man in private, and also in the restaurant where he had invited himself for dinner before, it would be a lie to say that he was not jealous. When Chen Man asked what had happened between them, He Yu almost threw the box of condoms in the car to Chen Man, so that Chen Man could realize it himself.
He was thinking of the consequences if he did that, which made him stop.
Along the way, He Yu listened to the Titanic single song loop, mouth with Xie Qingcheng flavor of cigarettes, barely able to control himself, not to turn around and go back to talk to Chen Man - Fuck you, Xie Qingcheng is my man, we have had sex, you! Xie Qingcheng is my man, we already had a relationship, you should be more sensible in the future, don't look for him again!
He raced straight to the floor of the HMS faculty dormitory.
The speed of a sports car is not comparable to that of a rental car. He Yu went up the stairs in a familiar manner, but Xie Qingcheng was not yet back. He waited for a while in front of the dormitory before he heard footsteps coming from the stairway, and then the sensor light came on.
He Yu turned his head and saw the man coming home.
"......" Xie Qingcheng didn't expect He Yu to be waiting in front of his house, and was both surprised and a little annoyed.
He had processed a lot of information today and his patience was already at its head, especially the volume of video Chen Man had shown him, which took up almost his entire brain's CPU, and He Yu's appearance was like a rogue pop-up box that had to pop up when the system crashed, which really messed with Xie Qingcheng's head.
"What's with you again." Xie Qingcheng raised his hand and rubbed the arch of his eyebrow, saying tiredly, "I'm really tired today, can you not be capricious? Did ...... not go to the evening sorority?"
It's okay not to talk about the damn sorority, but He Yu gets even more upset when I do.
He was mortared in place, the composure and arrogance he had just shown in front of Chen Man was like armor suddenly removed, completely disappearing.
He Yu just looked at Xie Qingcheng for a long while, then said, "You know that I like you, why do you still say such hurtful words?"
Xie Qingcheng : "Where does that hurt? I just want you to go and meet more girls and slowly correct your mistakes-"
"Is it a mistake to like you?"
"......"
The boy said word for word, "Xie Qingcheng, I just fell in love with someone. Why is that wrong in your eyes? Why do you have to talk about me like this?"
Xie Qingcheng felt that the soundproofing of the faculty dormitory's walkway wasn't too good, and it would be embarrassing if someone heard him, so he sighed and fumbled for the key to open the dormitory door.
The house was clean.
It is a very different and refreshing arrangement from Xie Xue's dormitory, and can even be said to be cold. Besides books, there are medicines on the table, and there is no decoration at all.
Xie Qingcheng turned back, "Come in and talk."
He Yu is still standing at the door in a negative manner, and surprisingly, he doesn't want to enter the door again.
Xie Qingcheng: "In or out? No, it's closed."
He Yu glared at him, "You off, it's not like you haven't offed me."
The more they talked, the more outrageous, Xie Qingcheng vaguely heard the next dormitory packing things, afraid of other teachers will go out at night will run into this ridiculous scene, so had to pull He Yu in.
"Well, sit down."
Obedience is so bad, He Yu won't sit down.
Xie Qingcheng: "What's wrong with you, you were fine before. Can't you just say what's going on? Your mind is harder to guess than a girl's, what do you want?"
He Yu stood stiffly for a moment before saying coldly, "Why didn't you just tell me it was Chen Man you were going to see?"
"......"
"Why did you take Chen Man to that restaurant where you first asked me on a date?"
Xie Qingcheng was fucking speechless and said, "I just invited you to dinner, I'm not dating you."
"But it's a date in my eyes."
"......"
"You took him there and you didn't tell me."
"......"
"And I warned you that he liked you and you didn't listen." He Yu said, "You just don't believe me or anything I say about him."
Xie Qingcheng saw that he was still talking with vigor, as if he thought he was in the right, and felt very ridiculous.
He went to talk business with Chen Man, but in He Yu's mouth, it sounded like a married man going out to have an affair.
Xie Qingcheng can't help but be a bit gloomy: "He Yu, Chen Man I've known this kid for twenty years, I've known him longer than I've known you, I don't know what he did to make you misunderstand, but with my understanding of him, he's by no means this kind of person. I don't think there would be so many brats in the world who like to fall in love with their uncles, and even if there were so many, I don't think I'd be so unlucky as to meet two of them in one encounter. It's almost like a double whammy."
He Yu: "......"
"Besides." Seeing He Yu still wanting to say something, Xie Qingcheng stopped him before he could say anything, "I'm not a couple with you, the two of us don't have any relationship to be exact. I've told you three hundred times, I don't like you and I won't like you. So I don't have to tell you what people I go to see in private, what people I eat with, or even where I go to sleep - I hope you won't use location tracking software to find me in the future. I won't bother with you this time, but it won't happen again."
Aunt He's voice has always been quite loud, at this moment, when she heard Xie Qingcheng say the matter of positioning software, she lightened down again, and with a green face, she whispered very justifiably, "I ...... I'm looking for you, just ...... just Because ......"
Xie Qingcheng didn't hear what was said in a very low voice.
He Yu immediately added, "I'm worried about you."
"What are you worried about me for?"
"I worry about a lot of things, like the fact that you're in such bad shape today, and I'm worried that someone is going to do something to you ......"
"?"
"I'm worried that someone might not be too honest ......"
Xie Qingcheng is simply unbelievable.
After a long time, Xie Qingcheng said, "He Yu, I want you to remember that I'm a fucking man."
"Men get ...... too."
Xie Qingcheng interrupted him without a good look, "You think everyone is you."
He Yu turned his face away and didn't say anything.
Xie Qingcheng saw that he was finally at peace and started to take care of the tea. He Yu circled around twice and finally sat down on the carpet in front of the coffee table, looking at Xie Qingcheng's back while lost in thought.
Ever since he accepted his sexual orientation, he felt that Xie Qingcheng was so good looking, so straight and tall, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, that one would want to brutally conquer him and force him to wail and cry when he couldn't bear it, but also want to hold him in his arms and pamper him, and draw out the broken and hoarse gasps from his ripe body.
He looked at it and couldn't help but say, "Xie Qingcheng, you don't understand the young people nowadays, thirteen years old is really nothing, like you are so good-looking, not to mention thirty-three, even if forty-three, there will be eighteen or nineteen year old boys like you. In the future, you should not be out there to attract people like this, okay, this world's hearts are not ancient--"
With a snap, Xie Qingcheng turned back and heaved the brewed ginger tea in front of He Yu.
"I'm fucking good looking again now?"
"......"
"Who was the person who blindly called me ugly before?"
He Yu : "Who is it? That person has a problem, no aesthetics at all."
Xie Qingcheng : "...... Collect your nerves, don't be full of shit."
His tie hangs down as he looks down at the tea set, and it takes a great deal of patience for He Yu not to tug at the ripe man's tie and pull him down to kiss him.
He was so focused on watching Xie Qingcheng pack up his things from close range, the way the man lowered his eyelashes was very beautiful, his long eyelashes were like smoke from poppies, hooking him and confusing him.
He looked on obliviously for a while, until Xie Qingcheng raised his eyes and met his.
"What are you looking at."
Instead of answering, He Yu looked at his watch and then said, "Didn't see anything."
"......"
"By the way, can I stay the night at your place today? I'll sleep on the floor."
"......" Xie Qingcheng felt He Yu today strange, He Yu has not used location software to find himself for a long time, after the confession, He Yu has been quite respectful of him, today I do not know what kind of smoke, but also special He Yu has been quite respectful of him since he confessed, but today, I don't know what kind of trouble he's in, but he even drove to the door of the vegetarian restaurant to pick himself up, and now he's asking to stay in his dormitory.
It was as if he had made up his mind that he had to be with him tonight.
Xie Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for half a day, he didn't come up with a reason, so he asked, "Did you get into some trouble, so you had to follow me today."
He Yu : "Brother, I'm the student president, what trouble can I get into."
Xie Qingcheng witnessed a glance at him, clicked open the lighter and lit a cigarette, "If your school knew what you did, not to mention the student president, I'm afraid that you would be expelled directly."
He Yu smiled, a very rough man in bed, when dressed, but civilized, he let Xie Qingcheng squeeze, and said, "Professor, do not smoke in front of the students."
Xie Qingcheng thought about it, or put out the cigarette.
"If you want to stay over you can take a shower. I've got things to do, so you leave me alone for a while."
He Yu's eyes lit up when she saw him agree, fearing that he would back out, she immediately got up and said, "Then I'll go wash it."
With that, he headed for the bathroom, even forgetting to ask Xie Qingcheng for a change of clothes and a towel.
Xie Qingcheng also annoyed, did not realize these trivial matters, he waited for He Yu into the bathroom, immediately took out the cigarette that had not smoked just now, re-lighting a cigarette, deep inhalation and spit it out, satisfied, and then turned his face back to the computer.
The fluorescence of the screen reflected on his face as he held a cigarette in one slender hand and typed on the keyboard with the other.
He Yu did not see that under his cuffs, above the tattoos, there was an unresolved strangulation mark.
Looks like marks from handcuffs.
