Ren Yu left home in a hurry and rushed to the squadron. Although it was only one road away, he felt that the journey was a little far for the first time, which prevented him from seeing Gong Yingxian faster.

Across the road, he saw Gong Yingxian's car parked at the gate of the squadron. He ran quickly.

The window came down slowly. The darkness of the night, the darkness of the car body and the darkness of the interior seemed to form a suffocating net. Only Gong Yingxian's porcelain white and jade handsome face was one of the beams of light, which penetrated the woven darkness and lit up the whole space.

Ren Yu felt an impulse to embrace Gong Yingxian. How he wished he could become the light of Gong Yingxian and dispel the haze over his head for 18 years.

Gong Yingxian opened the door and got out of the car. He scolded, "where's your coat? How did you run out dressed like this?"

When Ren Ying recovered, he found that he didn't even take his coat. No wonder his father kept calling him when he went out, but he didn't feel cold at all. A fire was burning in his heart. When he saw Gong Yingxian, it became more and more hot.

Gong Yingxian opened the trunk and took out a blanket. He shook off the blanket and put it on Ren Yu. He also deliberately tightened it: "I don't know what to wear. What do you think?"

Ren Yu wrapped a blanket and said with a smile, "you have everything in the trunk."

Gong Yingxian said unhappily, "I'll lock you in the trunk to have everything."

"I can live in your trunk." Ren Yi blurted out.

Gong Yingxian was stunned.

Ren Yu's eyes wandered a little. He smiled and said, "as long as there is WiFi in the bag, you can keep me as a pet."

Gong Yingxian stared at Ren Yu for a moment, and his focused expression seemed to be really thinking about it.

Ren Yu teased him and said, "do you really want to raise me? I'm very good. I don't eat much and can work. I'll find a place to go to the bathroom."

Gong Yingxian lifted up a corner of the blanket and pasted it on Ren Yu's face: "you don't eat much."

Ren Yi pulled the blanket down and said with a grin, "dislike me. Dislike me and say you want to see me." The sentence "I want to see you" was like an echo rippling in the valley, which made him taste it again and again and could not be dispersed from his mind for a long time.

Gong Yingxian's expression was a little unnatural and deliberately turned aside the topic: "why did you come back from there? Did you go home?"

"Well, go home and have a look." Ren Yu plans to go to the detachment and read all the materials of that year. If he can really find evidence of doubt about the fire point, he will tell Gong Yingxian. He knows how much Gong Yingxian expects new clues, so he is more afraid of giving people empty joy.

"What did you eat at home?" Gong Yingxian lowered his head and gently kicked away a small stone with his polished handmade leather shoes. "Is it delicious?"

"I didn't eat at night. I spent the afternoon with my leaders. I have no appetite."

Gong Yingxian raised his head and his eyes were full of color: "I didn't eat either."

Ren Yu's heart moved: "did you come to see me for dinner?"

"It's normal to have dinner with friends after work." Gong Yingxian raised his chin and said fiercely, "can't you?"

Ren Yu was very happy: "of course, go, go, where you want to eat. It's my treat today."

Gong Yingxian took out his lunch box from the trunk.

Ren Yi rolled his eyes: "you still have to eat boxed lunch. In fact, my salary is OK. You don't have to save me a meal."

Gong Yingxian took the lunch box to Ren Yu's arms: "I want to eat this. I don't eat what others do. Who knows if it can't be clean." Then he went straight to the squadron.

"Then don't you eat what others cook except the cook at home and me?" Ren Yu followed and said happily.

Gong Yingxian gave a slight "um".

Ren Ying is delighted. For Gong Yingxian, he is not "others", he is a special person.

The two returned to Ren Yu's dormitory together. They met several soldiers on the way. They were used to the appearance of Gong Yingxian.

As soon as Ren Yu opened the door, Miaomiao would slip out of the crack in the door. He now keeps Miaomiao in his room most of the time. He is usually watched when he goes out to play. Recently, the little thing is wild and always wants to run out.

Gong Yingxian bent down and grabbed Miaomiao with one hand. The slender finger wearing gloves gently stroked the burn scar on Miaomiao's back: "it's a little fat, which is more obvious than the picture."

"I feed well." Ren Yi put the lunch box on the table, put the chair, and then made a "please" gesture: "have dinner."

Gong Yingxian took off his long windbreaker, put it on Ren Yu's arm, and gracefully untied the button of his suit before he sat in his chair.

Ren Yu looked at the clothes on his arm rigidly, unable to cry or laugh. He agreed to hang the clothes on the hanger and said "big miss".

Gong Yingxian took off his gloves, picked up his chopsticks, looked at the food in front of him, and slowly changed his breath: "I had a fight with Peng all afternoon, and I didn't have any appetite. I don't feel hungry until now."

Ren Yu had heard Gong Yingxian's depression on the phone. It must have something to do with the case. He softened his voice: "eat well when you're hungry. Nothing is more important than eating." He picked up a shrimp and put it into his mouth. "This shrimp is really fresh. Try it quickly."

Gong Yingxian also took a bite: "in fact, Peng Fei..."

"Eat first." Ren Yu interrupted him, "I'll chat with you after dinner. Don't mention him now. Don't think of him." He pointed to himself, "look at my handsome face. Just think of me."

Gong Yingxian hooked his lips and smiled. He looked at Ren Yu, and his heart really calmed down slowly.

Instead of talking about work, they talked about fitness and made an appointment to compete next time.

After dinner, Ren Yu asked about the progress of the case.

Gong Yingxian sighed: "Peng Fei confessed."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Ren Yu said in surprise that he thought Gong Yingxian's sullen appearance was hindered again.

"When we put all the evidence collected in the past two months in front of him, he finally couldn't deny it, but this case made me feel very..." Gong Yingxian's muscles moved on his face and made an indescribable expression, "disgusting."

Ren Ying listened quietly.

"Peng Fei said that he had never heard of the blazing angel. He just posted a post on a sports enthusiast forum six months ago complaining about his best neighbor. It was after he had a dispute with the 2209 male host and was mediated by the police."

"Did red flame take the initiative to find him?"

Gong Yingxian nodded slightly: "a man who claimed to sympathize with him replied to his post. They talked for some time. The man said he could help Peng Fei teach 2209, but Peng Fei also wanted to help him teach the people he hated, so no one could find out who did it."

"Isn't this Exchange arson?"

"But Peng Fei said he didn't know the man was going to set fire at the beginning. He showed us the chat records of the two people. From beginning to end, no one mentioned arson. The other party just urged Peng Fei to tit for tat, throw all the garbage at the door of 2209, and give him the rest. He will give 2209 an unforgettable lesson."

"Peng Fei believed it?"

"Peng Fei was skeptical at first. He thought that the law was not responsible for the public, so he asked other neighbors to throw garbage at the gate of 2209. He said he didn't expect a fire or even dead people. He naturally didn't dare to admit such serious consequences, and he called all the neighbors in the West together and threatened others not to say a word, otherwise they would all die It's an accomplice. "

Ren Yu took a breath and suddenly felt a chill pouring into his body: "you mean... Every family in the West knew who the murderer was from the beginning."

Gong Yingxian nodded heavily.

Ren Yi immediately understood why Gong Yingxian felt "disgusting".

Two months since the crime, they have had countless opportunities to confess, but they chose silence or lies. On the surface, they are victims. In fact, none of them is innocent. In order to protect themselves, even if their biological mother, neighbors and fire fighters die in vain, they should continue to hide the truth and hinder the police from solving the case. In retrospect, the slow progress of the case investigation at the beginning has a lot to do with those confessions that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

"The car burning...?"

"After the accident, Peng Fei was coerced by the man and had to fulfill his promise. When he heard that he only needed to burn a car, he agreed, but he kept an eye and spent money to let his cousin do it and make an alibi for himself."

"So your judgment was right at the beginning. He didn't respond when he saw Zhou Chuan. He didn't pretend. He really hasn't seen Zhou Chuan."

"Yes." Gong Yingxian said in a muffled voice, "this case has been solved, but no one is happy. First, Hongyan hasn't caught it. Second, the whole thing is ridiculous. Just because of the neighborhood dispute, so many lives have been innocent..."

Ren Yu was also flustered.

People always have a choice when they are angry, and this choice is almost always wrong.

Who could have thought that the contradictions in ordinary life would cause such an irreparable tragedy. In this story of neighborhood disputes, it seems that there are no real good people or real bad people. If everyone releases a little evil, evil will gather into a tower.

It's chilling.

"Anyway, when the case is solved, we can comfort the victims and their families a little." Ren Yu sighed.

Gong Yingxian clenched his teeth and his eyes showed cold: "not enough, Hongyan hasn't caught it yet. The initiator of all the figurines hasn't caught it yet. I will catch him and send him to the execution ground!"

"You'll catch him." Ren Yu's eyes were determined, "not only the red flame, the legendary 'organization', but also the murderer you most want to catch 18 years ago, will be caught by you."

Gong Yingxian stared at Ren Yu: "are you so confident in me?"

Ren Yu nodded: "you are the best, smartest and most persistent person I have ever seen. I think there is nothing you can't do."

Gong Yingxian was stunned. Then, he slowly showed a particularly good-looking smile that could make the sun and moon darker: "you... You are also very good."

Ren Yu only felt his heart surging. Every time he looked at Gong Yingxian and said a word to Gong Yingxian, his desire was deeper. To what extent could he suppress himself? He was really afraid that one day, these imprisoned feelings would break out uncontrollably.

Their eyes met, and inexplicable sparks ran through the air, which made them feel a little cramped.

Gong Yingxian looked at his watch in disguise and found that it was getting late, but he didn't want to go. I don't know when to start. He liked and enjoyed Ren's company. Ren was an accident in his regular and rigid life. It was like a drop of color ink leaking from a black-and-white picture, but inadvertent actions were useful for eyeballing.

As long as Ren Yu is around, he feels comfortable, relaxed and at ease. But for a moment he couldn't think of any excuse to stay.

At this time, Ren Yu's mobile phone rang. The mobile phone was placed in the middle of the table. They glanced at the screen at the same time. The caller ID name was Xiao.

Gong Yingxian immediately sat up straight, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Ren Yi grabbed the phone and in front of Gong Yingxian, if he didn't answer, he really seemed too eager to cover up. He stood up and pretended to walk leisurely to the window: "hello?"

"Brother..."

Just a short word, Ren Yu had heard three points of drunkenness and seven points of depression. He was surprised and said, "what's the matter with you?"

"I... I want to see you." Qi Xiao cried, "can you have a drink with me?"

"What's the matter? I'm on duty in the squadron now. I can't leave or drink." Ren Yu did not dare to look back, but he could feel the burning sight behind him.

"But I, I'm downstairs in your squadron." Qi Xiao sobbed, "I really want to see you."

"Are you downstairs?" Ren Yu's scalp felt numb.

Gong Yingxian stared, and an obvious anger appeared on his face.

"I'm downstairs. I just want to see you. It doesn't matter if I don't drink." Qi Xiao's voice sounded very pitiful.

Ren Yu only feels in a dilemma. He doesn't want Gong Yingxian to have any contact with Qi Xiao at all, lest his secret be exposed. But Qi Xiao has arrived in the squadron. Don't mention that they have a good "friendship". Even if they are strangers, as a firefighter, he can never turn away the people who ask for help.

At this time, he listened to Liu Hui's voice on the phone: "what's the matter with you, man? Do you need help?"

Ren Yi hurriedly said, "wait, I'll pick you up now." He was afraid that Qi Xiao would talk when he drank too much.

Gong Yingxian stood up from his chair. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he just blocked the door. He was tall and majestic, and immediately blocked Ren's road.

Ren Yu looked at him with a guilty conscience and explained, "I have a friend who has drunk too much. I'll go and see him."

Gong Yingxian narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "the actor named Qi Xiao."

"... yes."

"OK, I'll go with you."
