Mystery Tracker 3

Chapter 114 "Protection"

"puff--"

Shen Hao spit out a mouthful of water directly from his mouth.This voice was very obvious in the quiet office, and it caused several people to turn their eyes.What's terrible is that Shen Hao choked water into the trachea just now, so when everyone looked up, they saw Shen Hao's even more earth-shattering cough.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

"I said Shen Hao, what's wrong with you?" Cui Mingyou leaned forward from his desk, "Are you okay?"

"No...cough cough cough...it's okay..." Shen Hao waved his hands, trying to explain.Looking up, she saw that Tang Qing had just returned to the office, and she was looking at Shen Hao who was coughing uncontrollably with slightly concerned—or gossiping—eyes.

"Brother Hao, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Tang Qing asked.

Shen Hao waved his hands with a smile, trying to adjust his breathing, Tang Qing didn't think much, nodded and returned to her seat.

The office was quiet again, and everyone started to get busy with their own affairs.While Shen Hao pretended to be working, he looked at Tang Qing who was facing him—the little girl was still fiddling with her mobile phone, and she didn't know what she was looking at, with a smile on her lips from time to time.Shen Hao hurriedly checked his mobile phone, and found that, in just 2 minutes, there were already dozens of messages under Tang Qing's words.

——Shen Hao has been following Tang Qing's account for some time.He found that compared to Tang Qing who was serious and capable at work, this person on the Internet was an out-and-out little girl.She likes to edit videos, is keen to watch movies, watch dramas, and CP. From time to time, she will share her life online.Although sometimes Shen Hao might not understand what was said, but he could definitely understand what was said just now - it was definitely about his brother and brother Jin!Because just before this little girl went out, his brother and brother Jin happened to go out one after another!

Speaking of which, since Chen Wenbin tried to come out to Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong at the gate of the criminal investigation team last time, the entire criminal investigation team seemed to have formed a subtle "turn a blind eye" consensus on their relationship.No one mentioned Chen Wenbin's words again, and no one seemed to be curious about the real relationship between Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong.Everyone seems to have tacitly accepted that Cheng Jinsong and Shen Yan are a pair of good colleagues and partners. As for their occasional intimacy beyond the norm, they were ignored by everyone, whether intentionally or deliberately.

Such a situation can be formed, it should be said that Tang Qing has to be thanked.Because that day when Chen Wenbin uttered nonsense in front of everyone in the Criminal Investigation Team, although Shen Hao directly spoke out against him, it didn't have a decisive effect, and it wasn't until Tang Qing spoke up that the situation gradually turned around.It can be said that if it wasn't for her help, it was hard to say what would have happened in the end.Therefore, Shen Hao is really grateful to Tang Qing.

——However, this does not mean that he is not afraid of her talking nonsense on the Internet.

Shen Hao also pretended to be working in front of the computer, but from time to time he raised his eyes and sneaked a peek at Tang Qing who was facing him—as a "fan" who had been close (stealing) and paying attention (peeping) to Tang Qing for a while, Shen Hao had seen Tang Qing before. Of power of fine fan.The ability of these little girls to pick out the details in Tang Qing's video can be called a sharp eye, and the acuity is as sharp as Sherlock Holmes.If Tang Qing was really crazy and leaked any details about her brother and brother Jin, with the curiosity and digging ability of those little girls, she might find something.So Shen Hao stared at Tang Qing's movements nervously, thinking that as long as this girl continued to talk, he must stop her.But after waiting for more than ten minutes, there were over a hundred fans' messages, and Tang Qing didn't respond to a single word, while the little girl who raised her eyes was holding a mobile phone and was smiling smugly.Shen Hao couldn't help but began to doubt, did he understand it wrong?Could it be that what she just said was not about her brother?

Really, why is he the one who is frightened here when his brother is in love? !Shouldn't those two "old guys" also restrain themselves? !Even if the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security helps to play sloppy eyes, shouldn't these two people keep a low profile? Is it possible that they really want to tell the world? ! ...

Shen Hao had a lot of slander here, but the two "old guys" there didn't know it at all. At the moment, the two of them were reporting the discovery just now and the next plan to Director Xiao in the director's office.

"The household registration shows that Li Xuanzhe's father is Li Shengzhong, who passed away three years ago. His mother's name is Wang Meixiang, but judging from the time when this person's household registration moved, it is probably Li Xuanzhe's stepmother. In addition, he has two younger brothers, They are called Li Xuansi and Li Xuanxiang respectively. Our main purpose of going this time is to find these people to understand the situation and see if we can find out Lee’s real identity. If we can find out, we may be able to take the initiative in our follow-up investigation.”

"In this case, let's go there." After thinking for a long time, Xiao Ju said, "If we can get more information about this person, our future work will have a better direction. Shen Yan, you are ready to prepare Hurry up and come back soon." After speaking, he looked at Cheng Jinsong again, "Then during Shen Yan's business trip, you and Li Yuan, Jinsong, will be temporarily in charge of the criminal investigation work."

Cheng Jinsong originally intended to go with Shen Yan, but he didn't expect that Bureau Xiao had already made arrangements before he could speak.Just when Cheng Jinsong was hesitant to fight for it, Shen Yan spoke first: "I will arrange work with them in a while, and there are still some clues to investigate before. We are going forward together, hoping to find out as soon as possible."

"Okay. Then you will contact the local police in a while and strive for short-term efficiency."

"it is good."

"Why did you interrupt me just now?" Coming out of the bureau chief's office, Cheng Jinsong complained to Shen Yan. Seeing Shen Yan blinking his eyes, Cheng Jinsong was puzzled, and Cheng Jinsong was even more helpless. Fight for it?"

"It's just to understand the situation, and there is no need for such a big fight. I can just take Qin Kai or Haiyang over there." Shen Yan smiled.After finishing speaking, he paused and added, "Besides, the two of us always go on business trips together, so...it's too conspicuous..."

Cheng Jinsong was startled for a moment, and then understood Shen Yan's meaning.So many things happened a while ago, and they almost made a fool of themselves in front of the deputy minister. Although the leaders turned a blind eye to it later, it seems that they have noticed some clues.Thinking of this, Cheng Jinsong suddenly realized that maybe Xiao Ju had deliberately arranged the work before he spoke, the purpose was to prevent them from going on business trips together.

Speaking of which, although he and Shen Yan have been together for more than four years, Cheng Jinsong seems to have felt what is called "secular prejudice" for the first time.Thinking about it, the only people who knew about his relationship with Shen Yan were Jiang Ruiheng, Li Jiayu, Li Guangbei, and Chen Dong, apart from his relatives.These four people were originally "fellows" with them, so naturally they would not have any prejudice.And the only time when he came out to his parents was not smooth - Cheng Jinsong didn't realize that he was probably in the favor of Chen Dong and Chen Xi until very later - so he couldn't understand why Shen Yan was so cautious on the issue of sexuality pessimistic.And the scene just now really made him feel that homosexuality is somewhat different from heterosexuality.If he and Shen Yan were a heterosexual couple, I must have had the cheek to apply to the leader to accompany Shen Yan just now. Even if the leader refused, at least I had fought for it.But when they are same-sex couples, they have no position to fight for.And the leader will probably intentionally or unintentionally help the two of them "avoid suspicion"—however, the starting point of the leader's doing so may be out of "good intentions" of "protection", which makes Cheng Jinsong feel even more absurd.

Shen Yan didn't notice Cheng Jinsong's little thoughts.Because just after he finished that sentence, other colleagues appeared in the corridor, so the two returned to their "ordinary colleagues" status.Afterwards, the two went back to their respective offices. While arranging the next work of the criminal investigation team with Fang Liyuan, Shen Yan and Qin Kai made preparations before the business trip. feel anything strange.

Therefore, when Shen Yan came home and opened the door and found that the colorful lights in the restaurant were on, he was really surprised—Cheng Jinsong’s house was originally decorated according to the standard of a wedding room, and the kitchen was made open, which is different from the dining room. Separated by a small bar.There are three colorful atmosphere lights of different colors hanging above the bar. Turning on the red, blue and green lights and projecting them on the bar will add a different color to the whole area.When the house was decorated and designed, Cheng Jinsong was training in other places, and he was young at the time, so he didn't care about this kind of thing, so he left the decision-making power to Cheng's father and Cheng's mother.The old couple was fooled by the designer's statement that "there should be a romantic corner in the home", so they agreed to this "stylish" design.It's a pity that the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. The final effect is that it is okay if the lights are not turned on. Once the lights are turned on, it always reminds people of some folk dance halls.It's just a done deal, and it's too late to change it.Shen Yan lived with Cheng Jinsong for more than three years, and the number of times these lights were turned on is very few.

However, at this moment, these lights are on, reflecting the restaurant in red and green.

The moment Shen Yanzheng was surprised, Cheng Jinsong came out of the kitchen with the food. He didn't put the food on the dining table, but put it on the small bar.

"Hey, what are you doing today?" Shen Yan asked with a smile.

"Romantic," Cheng Jinsong said while setting the plate, "Go and wash your hands, get ready for dinner."

Cheng Jinsong would engage in such little fun in life from time to time, Shen Yan didn't think much about it, and went into the house with a smile to change his clothes and wash his hands.When he sat back to the dining room, Cheng Jinsong happened to help him pour the wine.

"What day is today?" Shen Yan asked with a guilty conscience.The two of them seldom drink alcohol. Cheng Jinsong did so much today. Could it be that he was busy with work and forgot some important day?

"Yes, today is our 1600th day of dating." Cheng Jinsong said solemnly.Shen Yan blinked in astonishment—what kind of day is this? !

Noticing Shen Yan's expression, Cheng Jinsong couldn't help laughing: "Just kidding, I suddenly remembered that I haven't had something to eat with you for a long time, and you will be on a business trip after a while, so I will make something for you today." Eat. Come, eat quickly."

Shen Yan didn't think much at first, but when Cheng Jinsong had already opened the second bottle before he drank half of a glass of wine, Shen Yan felt something was wrong. "Jin Song," Shen Yan stopped his chopsticks and looked at Cheng Jinsong, "What's wrong with you today?"

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Cheng Jinsong smiled and raised his eyes, asking as if nothing had happened.

"You only drink like this when you're unhappy." Shen Yan pierced him, but there was concern in his firm tone, "What's wrong? Did something happen in the bureau today?"

Although Shen Yan usually does not have the temperament to talk about "love", it does not mean that he is not careful.Under Shen Yan's serious gaze, Cheng Jinsong was finally defeated. He smiled, looked around and said to him: "Actually, it's nothing. I just think it must have been difficult for you before."

"What?" Shen Yan didn't understand why Cheng Jinsong said such a sentence suddenly.

"I just want to say that it's really not easy to suppress all my feelings in my heart." Cheng Jinsong said, "I didn't understand why you were always so cautious before, but now I understand..."

Having said that, Cheng Jinsong didn't say any more, just smiled self-deprecatingly.

Shen Yan blinked his eyes in doubt—he understood what Cheng Jinsong was saying, but he didn't understand why Cheng Jinsong suddenly felt this emotion.Shen Yan went through what he did today in his mind, and finally remembered something, he tentatively asked: "...Are you unhappy because of the arrangements made by Bureau Xiao in the morning?"

Cheng Jinsong didn't say anything, it was a tacit agreement.Shen Yan couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing? Director Xiao just didn't let us go on a business trip together."

"But he blocked the conversation before I could speak, as if he was afraid that the two of us going out together would make others suspect." Cheng Jinsong felt wronged.

"It was originally an investigation in a different place. If the two captains went together, people would find it strange." Shen Yan smiled, "Okay, the director has taken good care of us by not transferring us after knowing our relationship. .”

Cheng Jinsong teased himself, took a sip of wine, and continued: "To be honest, I used to think that with the ability of the two of us, even if we came out in the workplace, the leader would not be able to do anything to us. But now I think it is possible. I was too confident."

Maybe it's because of telling the truth after drinking, it's rare for Cheng Jinsong to show such a low-sensitivity side.On the one hand, Shen Yan thought it was a little funny, but at the same time he felt a little distressed. He patted Cheng Jinsong's hand and explained: "Actually, the two of us are already considered very lucky. Think about it, whether it's your parents or my younger brother. Including the friends around us, they didn’t feel sorry for us. The leaders in the bureau were also tolerant to us—to be honest, I never thought I would have such good luck before.”

In the past when the two got along, Cheng Jinsong played the role of "psychiatrist", but it was rare to hear such an optimistic speech from Shen Yan.Cheng Jinsong looked at Shen Yan and found that he seemed to recognize a new side of him.

Cheng Jinsong became more interested, and continued to ask: "Then if the leader really cares about our relationship and insists on separating us, what will you do?"

"If there is such a day, I think, with the abilities of the two of us, it is most likely that one of them will raise the provincial department - that would be good, anyway, the Provincial Public Security Department is still in this city."

Shen Yan's guess is not unreasonable, at least before Wang Ju retired, he expressed his intention to transfer them to the provincial department more than once.Moreover, Wangbu came to S city a while ago and spoke highly of the two of them, so it is not impossible to raise the price.At that time, the two of them can still engage in their duties, but they won't become a pair to attract attention, which is really not a bad thing for the two of them.

"Shen Yan," Cheng Jinsong looked at Shen Yan with his chin resting on one hand, "I think you have changed."

"Huh?" Shen Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"You have become optimistic." Cheng Jinsong said, "In the past, you would always worry about this and that when encountering such things, but not now."

"Didn't you always educate me? To be a human being, the most important thing is to be happy." Shen Yan imitated Cheng Jinsong's tone, and finally made the latter laugh out loud.Seeing that his mood had improved, Shen Yan was relieved a lot.He patted Cheng Jinsong and said: "Okay, it's not a big deal at first, don't feel wronged here, hurry up and help me clean up after dinner, Qin Kai and I are on the plane tomorrow morning."

As Shen Yan said, he wanted to get up and pack the tableware, but he didn't want to be caught by Cheng Jinsong as soon as he stretched out his hand: "Don't worry, drink with me for a while."

"Still drinking? If you drink again, you will be really drunk."

"When you get drunk, you get drunk, and when you get drunk, you lose your personality."

"What is 'promiscuous sex', I still have to...uh..."
