Chapter 186: You're the only one who can fool me.
Political Commissar Wang narrowed his eyes, "Professor Xie."
Xie Qingcheng said, "He's family group to find out the hearing water this matter, I already know. I've already known about it. I've also learned about the video inside the restored mountain villa."
Political Commissar Wang: "Xiao Yan told you?"
"Yes."
Political Commissar Wang signaled the police flower to bring a chair over to Xie Qingcheng: "Sit down."
The old man had a tired look on his face - Chen Man, who had been with the Quang City police force, had requested to go to the sea to hunt down He Yu's ship after finding prohibited drugs during a surprise raid on the He's family group's warehouses. Such an operation requires a lot of police manpower, so the officer has no reason to refuse, and now Chen Man and his comrades are on a boat heading for the open sea.
Wang political commissar is naturally very hopeful that his grandson can have some success, after all, Chen Man's half-brother was so powerful, Chen Man since childhood is not as good as his brother, other people do not dare to say on the surface, but privately there are people ridicule Wang political commissar grandson is not good, not as good as an ordinary woman born of the seed.
However, as he hoped for his grandson's well-being, he did not want Chen Man to be in any danger. He had advised Chen Man, but after Chen Man learned the truth about the poisoning of the villa, he insisted on investigating the He family's affairs to the end, and he could not stop him.
Political Commissar Wang: "The situation is urgent, so we won't say much else. How sure are you that you can locate the vessel? He's not even answering his mother's phone."
Xie Qingcheng didn't answer or give any explanation, took out his cell phone and put it on the table: "You'll know when you call."
Wei Er squinted his eyes, with his years of experience in men's identification of gay vision, he had previously felt that He Yu and Xie Qingcheng relationship is not general, at that time the two in the Xuan Court entanglement, although said to be due to the love of venom, but that the atmosphere is really subtle, and now it seems, these two really sat on his conjecture.
Of course, this is a matter of not talking about it, we are all smart people, why do we have to open the window so much.
Political Commissar Wang was still somewhat wary of Xie Qingcheng: "Then what is your reason for coming to help us since you are so close to He Yu."
Xie Qingcheng: "First, what happened inside the mountain villa has something to do with me. Secondly, the matter of hearing water is related to me. Third ......" He paused, and after a while, he continued, "Twenty years ago, my parents died in a plot by Duan Wen's organization, and it seems that Lv Zhishu is probably one of Duan Wen's collaborators as well. --I want to know the truth that I have been waiting for twenty years. Because that truth has something to do with my parents."
After hearing this, Political Commissar Wang leaned back in his chair and nodded with a sigh.
"Well ...... if that's the case ......"
His facial contours loosened slightly.
"Then you can indeed ...... try."
But while Wang promised, Xie Qingcheng didn't dial the number right away.
He looked at Political Commissar Wang's eyes, which were somewhat similar to Chen Man's in outline. Xie Qingcheng remembered the kind of feeling he had when he had just received the call from Chen Man's front line and knew everything.
Chen Man said on the phone at that time, "Brother - if he really likes you, he knows what his mother has done, so why does he still work for the tiger and continue to work for his family? He knows full well what kind of criminal organization it is! I caught him to really ask him ...... whether he still has a heart or not!"
"This case, it's about your parents, my brother, and even He Yu himself ...... We have to stop him before he has major criminal consequences, and it's not too late, if he starts making real deals, or hiding incriminating evidence, or doing anything else. Brother Xie, you know that." Chen Man said, "The only thing waiting for him is the death penalty."
But did He Yu really do such a thing?
Xie Qingcheng remembered the night they parted in the alley, when He Yu hugged him and said he might not be He Yu anymore.
He remembered the office, before he left, He Yu said, What would you do if I just wanted to live and had to do this.
At that point his response was - I'll be standing across from you, so please don't go.
Xie Qingcheng was willing to believe him. He felt that He Yu would not be the kind of person who, after suffering himself, would want others to suffer the same calamity.
Deep in his heart, he also believed that He Yu would not really stand against him to make him an enemy.
Although he was angry and shocked by what Lv Zhishu had done, by the vortex in which he was involved, he didn't think it had anything to do with He Yu. There must be some misunderstanding that the police hadn't yet noticed.
So Xie Qingcheng thought that instead of avoiding the situation and letting the police chase and intercept He Yu, forcing him into irreversible consequences, he should cooperate with them and put forward some demands that are sufficient for Huanhuan, so that in case of emergency, he can still protect He Yu from any accidental harm.
Xie Qingcheng drew back from his memories as he said to Political Commissar Wang, "I have a few requests."
"You say."
Xie Qingcheng said, "If he is located, then you cannot use violence against him without sufficient evidence that He Yu has indeed committed a crime."
"That's for sure."
"Secondly, if there is evidence that He Yu has not harmed the police, again violence cannot be used against him."
Political Commissar Wang and a few of the higher-ups looked at each other, and finally Political Commissar Wang said, "Yes."
"Thirdly, if it really comes to the point where they have no choice but to take action, the police should also ask him the truth first and give him a chance to explain."
"OK, that's something we can do."
Xie Qingcheng : "Also, if possible, I would like to have a direct line conversation with him."
This kind of connecting conversation is under the supervision of the police, which is basically beneficial to the police but harmless, and if there is any eventuality, it will be well controlled, and Commissar Wang agreed to do so.
"It's all fine, do you have any other requests?"
"No more."
"Good." Political Commissar Wang gave him a deep look, "Then, begin."
"Please wait." The door opened once again, and this time it was Director Hu who came in--a matter of great importance, this kind of special S-class criminal case, Director Hu naturally also rushed here.
Everyone in the office, except for Political Commissar Wang, stood up and saluted when they saw him.
Director Hu waved his hand, his eyes fixed on Xie Qingcheng.
"I heard your terms outside. As far as I know, you're Xie Ping's son, right?"
Xie Qingcheng: "Yes."
"Although your parents were demoted twice before and finally dropped to the basic police station, they are still police officers in the end." Director Hu said, "I'd like to ask you why, of all these conditions you have, every single one of them is yet looking out for the suspect."
Xie Qingcheng sat upright in his chair and looked up at him, "Because I believe he didn't commit a crime, just as I believe my parents were framed for their two demotions."
His voice was not loud, but his gaze was sharp, and his aura was not inferior to that of a high-powered old superintendent like Director Hu.
"I don't want any more people around me, to be wronged again."
Director Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, this man was clearly contradicting him and had no pretense of deference towards him, but there was no anger on Director Hu's face as he surveyed Xie Qingcheng thoughtfully, seemingly pondering over Xie Qingcheng's words.
Finally he asked, "So what if this person you trust, who did hurt the police and also sat on the evidence, refuses to give in and even threatens the lives of others like Huang Zhilong."
Xie Qingcheng: "He won't."
Director Hu: "What if."
A few silences.
Xie Qingcheng said, "Then at your disposal, according to the law."
Director Hu, who was originally looking at him in a semi-oppressive stance, straightened up after a long time and said to him, "Please take your cell phone with you." Turning his head again, he nodded a very polite greeting to Political Commissar Wang, and then said to all the others, "Go to the command room, link up with Guang Shi, and try to locate the lost vessel again."
.
On the high seas.
He Yu adjusted the ship's signaling channel and made an encrypted call. The man on the other end of the line spoke English with a heavy slang accent, and after a brief conversation with him, He Yu asked his assistant to inform the captain of the change in route.
He knew he was doing this thing wrong, but he couldn't do it halfway.
There are some things that he has to get today.
"There are still about two hours or so before we reach the other side's designated anchorage, and the other side will have a ship approaching us to complete the delivery at sea." The assistant said this to He Yu.
He Yu said, "I'm curious who the people sent from Mandela's island are."
Mandela Island is Duan Wen's lair in Australia, and He Yu now knows the name of the island, but the island's location is vague, and knowing the name is like knowing a code name, which is actually of no practical use.
"I'm afraid you can't see their faces." The assistant, who had been following Lv Zhishu, replied to He Yu, "The people who come out to Mandela Island on business wear special masks and don't talk much."
He Yu was just about to say something else when his cell phone rang and he scanned it for a contact he knew very well.
Xie Qingcheng.
Message reads, "Lv Zhishu has been summoned for questioning in connection with a cross-border business of banned drugs such as rn-13. He Yu, if you are unrelated to this matter or have any hard feelings, please return my call directly."
He Yu's eyes moved slightly.
After a while, another message came in, "I want you to trust me as much as I trust you."
He Yu: "......"
Junior Assistant: "What's going on?"
He Yu : "...... It's nothing. Let the captain arrive at the trading point at full speed, the police's pursuit boats are faster than us, they can't fully localize us but they can determine the general direction, and a minute late for the pickup won't do us any good."
He said, putting his cell phone back in his close pocket without replying.
Meanwhile. Police command room.
Everyone was waiting for a miracle, and the likelihood of such a miracle was diminishing as the time counter on the wall pushed away, minute by minute.
Xie Qingcheng coughing, his body was already not good, recently can be said to be overdrawn, in fact, he was supposed to go to MeiYu today to do treatment, however, He Yu accident, he had to hold on to come to the police station. At this time, the excessive nervous tension further made him giddy. But he was still holding on, waiting for He Yu's reply--
He didn't choose anything too subtle, nor did he deceive He Yu in any way, and he remembers what He Yu said to him in his office at the time.
He Yu said, I will always have only one heart before you.
Because of these words, Xie Qingcheng would like to take a gamble, he hoped that such an open and honest and heartfelt message, can make He Yu put down his guard, there are things He Yu is able to tell himself ...... that he can and He Yu together to carry.
The hands of the clock turned round and round.
One minute ......
Five minutes ......
Xie Qingcheng looked steadily at his cell phone, but in front of his eyes was a scene from He Yu's past with a big smile.
"Shea ......"
"Xie Qingcheng ......"
You have to trust me.
I will never leave me, and I will love and protect you every second I'm alive.
The phone vibrated unexpectedly!
Almost all of them got up, Xie Qingcheng's cell phone does not have a password, anyone can see the message on it, and the sheriff closest to the phone took it.
Director Hu said eagerly, "How's it going?"
Sheriff: "...... is 10086."
Crowd: "...... ugh ......"
"Damn 10086! Souls are flying!"
"......" Xie Qingcheng's heart surged and he couldn't help but lower his head and cough again.
"He shouldn't be returning." Political Commissar Wang said, "Professor Xie, you've overestimated your relationship with him. And the fact that he won't return such a message has pretty much confirmed that he's not innocent and that he's helping his mother get off the hook."
Xie Qingcheng was getting more and more dizzy, especially after the excitement he had just received, and by now his back was already dappled with cold sweat. He raised his hand to the corner of his forehead and pushed this dizziness down as much as he could, "Commissar, I hope you can wait a little longer."
"......"
"I ...... believe him ......."
Wang political commissar looked at him with a complicated expression, in fact, Wang political commissar this person's heart is very good, just that there are times when in his position to seek his own business, had to do some over the top things, and in the face of such toughness and trust in his companions on the junior body, his heart more or less have some respect.
Director Hu looked at him solicitously.
Political Commissar Wang: "Let's wait a little longer then."
Xie Qingcheng coughed lightly, his throat already full of blood, "Thank you ......"
Another ten minutes passed.
He Yu's side is still nowhere to be seen, call the other side also did not answer, it seems that the other side made up their minds, will not give any signal feedback with the police.
The members of this operation had already begun to discuss other solutions, or to contact Guang City urgently, or to communicate with the technical department again. Xie Qingcheng s blood slowly went cold ...... He was still sitting in his position, his face lacked blood color, and there was a buzzing in his ears. He had a hard time for a while, and could not hear any sound around him anymore, he only knew that those people had already moved to kill and started a new deployment.
He Yu ......
Do you really ...... have to be like this ......
I want to believe you ...... He Yu ...... you responded ...... I want to believe you ...... I want to help you ......
Give me your hand.
Just like when you were a kid by the flowers in Endless Summer, okay?
He Yu ......
The tinnitus is getting stronger and the dizziness is getting worse.
Xie Qingcheng couldn't hear anything.
He had to stay awake as long as he could to keep from being so sick that he lost consciousness at this point. So he didn't notice when a hand reached over and picked up his cell phone from the table again.
It's Director Hu.
Director Hu is after all a decisive old police, he is ruthless, words and heart attack has been perfected, and he has no personal feelings for Xie Qingcheng and He Yu, so his ruthlessness in handling cases can be reflected at this time.
At this moment, he suddenly had another idea and said, "I think I can try again in a different way. Can I borrow your cell phone, Professor Xie?"
"......"
Xie Qingcheng's head is too dizzy, he did not hear what Director Hu said for a moment, in front of his eyes are fuzzy and colorful.
It was also because Xie Qingcheng was too happy and unhappy to show his illness. Director Hu didn't realize how hard he was feeling at all, and instead took his silence as tacit approval.
So Director Hu put his head down and took Xie Qingcheng's cell phone and quickly edited a new message to He Yu, but this message he did not send as Xie Qingcheng, but wrote the message as a staff member of the police department:
"He Yu, I suggest that it would be best for you to turn yourself in for being involved in a case of illegal pharmaceuticals, Xie Qingcheng is currently in the police station as well. I know that you're running away from the police, and have made up your mind that you don't want to expose your signal source, you may even doubt if what I'm saying is true, you can doubt all you want as long as you don't worry about the safety of his life. Don't you forget, there are insiders in the police department who kill people without blinking an eye, so let's see if you can afford to gamble."
Xie Qingcheng was desperately trying to break out of his chaotic dizziness at this point, he sensed something was wrong and tried to stop it, "Wait a ......"
Director Hu's finger pressed.
"Wait!"
Xie Qingcheng finally regained his senses from the dizziness, grabbed the cell phone with his hands, and what caught his eyes was the blinding message "Sent".
"......"
The message has been sent successfully.
Xie Qingcheng's face suddenly pale not like a living person, he clutched the cell phone, looking at the text above, cold sweat stained on.
"Director Hu, you can't do this ...... you shouldn't deceive him."
He settled down and white-knuckled himself trying to make up another message.
But Director Hu immediately stopped him: "What are you doing?"
"I had to tell him the truth."
"No way!" Director Hu flatly refused, "We need this case solved as soon as possible, and if you patch up the message now, the situation will become very confusing."
"......"
"We promised you that there would be no violence in his capture until we had to, and I know you care about his trust in you, but you can rest assured that, not to mention the fact that the police this is not wanting him to make a bigger mistake. This can't be a lost cause, we have to take the opportunity to make it quick."
"I promise you." Director Hu looked Xie Qingcheng in the eyes steadily, "We can tell him the whole truth when he calls back, okay?"
"......"
"Only now you can't."
"There can be no more sacrifices."
The last sentence is like a thousand pounds of weight, all eyes are focused on Xie Qingcheng's body, Xie Qingcheng only felt a headache, he held the phone, but gradually can not hold it ......
There can be no more sacrifices.
I know you care about his trust in you, but the police this is not wanting him to make a bigger mistake ......
You can't go this way ......
Wei Er: "Xie Qingcheng, are you okay?"
Xie Qingcheng's fingers eventually slowly curled up, and his eyes began to giddy again, and his ears buzzed so much that he could hardly catch his breath.
Wei Er was still concerned about her family, "Xie Qingcheng?"
Xie Qingcheng The last bit of blood on his face was gone, "...... I'm fine ...... I'm fine."
"......"
"Wait."
One minute, two minutes ......
All present were again in a state of waiting.
But there was still dead silence.
Director Hu's heart-attacking techniques do not seem to have penetrated into He Yu's completely solid heart.
Wang Political Commissar was chagrined to the core, only feeling that these people were naïve to the core, that they would even think of relying on playing the emotional card to get a suspect who had crossed the border and run away to return their message when they knew they would be exposed!
What can he expect? He might as well keep counting on the police in Hiroshima to use military equipment to break through He Yu's signal stealth program as soon as possible. ......
Yet just as he was so angry that he wanted to get up and smoke a cigarette, the cell phone, which had been silent, suddenly vibrated.
It was just the most ordinary default ringtone, but it made almost everyone here rise up with a start, and several people's faces bristled, obviously surprised.
Under the encircling gaze, the screen of Xie Qingcheng's cell phone lit up with a dim light, and the caller ID showed two words:
Little ghost.
And that number is He Yu's number, which they've never gotten a response from. ......
He Yu even returned the call knowing that it was most likely a trap!
Director Hu is also very surprised, although he came up with this trick, but in his heart only hold one percent of the faint hope, after all, He Yu so smart people, unless really care about a person cared to the extreme, otherwise how could see this kind of threatening message can pay attention to?
But He Yu really just--
Director Hu subconsciously tried to pick up the phone he had thrown out, but Xie Qingcheng did not give him his cell phone this time.
They had to stop He Yu, so they had to create such a lie in an extreme situation, and He Yu called back, and since he did, Hu's objective was achieved and the big picture was taken care of.
Now He Yu is the only one who is kept in the dark, and everyone in the room doesn't care about He Yu's feelings, only Xie Qingcheng does.
Xie Qingcheng will not let anyone lie to him anymore. He must personally make it clear to He Yu so that He Yu will not continue to do anything wrong on behalf of the He family and Lv Zhishu.
"Hello."
He Yu's voice came out, very cold, cold enough to hide the worry in it.
"Who are you. Why did you take his cell phone."
Xie Qingcheng braced his sickly body and said hoarsely, "It's me."
The moment they heard his voice, the person on the other end of the cell phone seemed to understand everything and was suddenly silent.
"......"
"He Yu. It's me."
"......"
Xie Qingcheng didn't even get to say the next sentence before he heard the other end of the phone hang up, leaving only a beeping busy signal.
"Suspect exposed! Rush to Hiroshima City for information and investigation!"
"Information detection received! Have traced the satellite location of this cell phone signal! The location is--"
Some of the younger police officers in the office shouted out in excitement and high-fived when they heard the real-time news over the loudspeaker, and the others immediately got busy, taking their positions and starting to make all-out efforts to pursue and arrest the man. Xie Qingcheng was the only one who stood there, his blood running cold -
He Yu refused any explanation with them, refused any communication with him.
What is He Yu up to? Did he really choose to go down a dark path?
Xie Qingcheng doesn't believe it.
Even up to this moment, he didn't believe He Yu would make such a choice, but now He Yu was indeed hiding from the police and refusing his outstretched hand.
He Yu didn't hold him anymore like the kid who sat in the endless summer flowers back then.
Perhaps back when he had rejected He Yu so many times in the old days, He Yu had his own ideas, never one to be willing to be passive, and smarter and better at concealing himself than any kid he had ever met.
Meanwhile, on the high seas, He Yu hangs up the phone with a pale face.
He clutched his cell phone and looked out over the vast ocean.
He is an evil dragon, only Xie Qingcheng knows his soft spot, and at this critical moment, Xie Qingcheng still handed the sword to someone else, stabbing at his scales.
He Yu closed his eyes, remembering the man's previous words to himself on his way out, when Xie Qingcheng had said that he would stand across from him.
He had thought that Xie Qingcheng would be more or less heart-broken, and could forgive him for even a single act of caprice. It turned out that this was not the case.
Thinking about those words now, he only felt a silent, sharp pain as if his heart had been torn apart.
"Mr. He!" After about ten minutes or so, the assistant suddenly shouted sharply, pointing at a blurry shadow in front of him, "It's coming, it's coming! Mandela Island's boat is coming!"
