Blazing Armour - Chapter 128

On the first day after the New Year holiday, Ren Ying received a call from Qiu Yan saying that the case was progressing and he needed to go to the Branch Bureau to assist in the investigation.

Ren Yu was silent on the phone. Instead of directly agreeing, he suddenly asked, “you know.”

Qiu Yan was stunned and didn’t speak.

Ren continued, “you doubt my father, too, don’t you?”

Qiu Yan paused: “sorry, Captain Ren, I just perform my duties. But I don’t know what Ying Xian did to the old captain. He did something wrong.”

“So after hypnosis, has my father been ruled out?” Ren Yu never asked Gong Yingxian this question because he would be angry even if he mentioned it. He didn’t want to hear the answer he didn’t want to hear from Gong Yingxian. Although he had no doubt about his father, he also knew that hypnosis could not be used as evidence.

“According to the hypnosis results, the old captain did not have any unconventional behavior.” Qiu Yan said sincerely, “emotionally, I don’t believe the old captain is suspected, but I’m a policeman. I have to verify every clue. Ying Xian is the same, but he used the wrong method.”

Ren Leng said, “why didn’t you tell me at the beginning.”

Qiu Yan smiled bitterly: “I can’t speak. It’s too hurtful. Our idea is to secretly verify. If we exclude the suspicion of the old captain, it’s just as if nothing has happened.”

Ren Yu’s tone became harsh: “you underestimate me. If you told me at the beginning, although I would be angry, I would respect the evidence, I would be wrong about things and people, and I would try to prove my father’s innocence.” Gong Yingxian is right. The on-site evidence is indeed unfavorable to the first firefighter to enter the fire. If he can look at it more rationally, he will also have doubts. In fact, he has suspected that the murderer has fire fighting background, but he did not think about his father from beginning to end.

After calming down these days, he knows that the most important thing now is not to complain about Gong Yingxian, but to protect his father’s reputation and find the real murderer.

“I’m sorry.” Qiu Yan said shamefully.

“You want me to go to the branch this time, or does he want me to go?”

“The task force wants you to go.”

“OK, I’ll go.”

After hanging up, Ren Ying asked for a leave and went to Hongwu branch.

Although he was ready, when he saw Gong Yingxian, the muscles on Ren’s face still stiffened unconsciously.

Gong Yingxian’s eyes were dim and his face was gloomy. The whole person seemed to have little spirit. At the moment of seeing Ren Yu, thousands of complex emotions surged in his eyes.

Qiu Yan stood aside, looking helpless and wanting to talk.

Ren Yi said expressionless, “what do you need me to cooperate with?”

“The footprints you found at the scene before, we have tracked down a person. We suspect that he has deliberately contacted you before.” Qiu Yandao.

“Touch me?” Ren Yi frowned, “how do you know this?”

Gong Yingxian put a photo in front of Ren Yu: “do you have an impression of this person?”

Ren Yu glanced. In the photo, he was a handsome young man with a bright smile. He was only a teenager. He shook his head: “no impression. He is the owner of the shoe print?”

“Yes, he is Shi Naiwei’s senior three student.”

Ren Yi raised his head and his face changed slightly: “a school with feilan?”

Gong Yingxian nodded: “feilan said he was very famous in their school, what school grass and so on, but they didn’t know each other.”

“Have they been in contact?”

“No.”

“How do you know he touched me?”

“He just passed your squadron on his way home from school. He once visited and played basketball with your soldiers. He was a team leader when your squadron did fire training exercises for their school. He was very interested in fire fighting and fire related things and showed personal worship for you.”

Ren Yu was stunned: “worship me? How did you find out?”

“Most of them were found by Xiao Tan through his social media.” Qiu Yan explained.

“There’s a lot about you on his social media.” With a cold face, Gong Yingxian turned the notebook screen to Ren Yu, and a video took the lead in Ren Yu’s sight.

It was an interview made by the propaganda department when the squadron leader was studying years ago. Ren Yu remembered this interview because he was eating and asked the other party not to let his food out.

Gong Yingxian “snapped” and pressed the play key. It seemed that he had the greatest strength he could use by tapping the keyboard with his fingers. The sound was quite loud and even implied anger.

Ren Yu saw himself and Yan Jue in the video. At first, they were having dinner. When the camera came, Yan Jue held his shoulder closely and asked him to look at the camera. They joked and laughed. They seemed to be very familiar.

Since Yan Jue said that last time, the two had no other contact except to worship each other through wechat during the new year. He was really avoiding Yan Jue. Now looking back, he didn’t know whether it was a psychological effect. Yan Jue looked at him at that time.

Suddenly, two big hands pressed on both sides of the notebook. Ren Yu was familiar with these hands. They were white and slender, perfect like works of art, as if they had never touched the world.

Ren Yi raised his head and looked at Gong Yingxian. Gong Yingxian was also looking at himself with sharp eyes.

Gong Yingxian supported the desktop with both hands. His tall body completely blocked the light of the ceiling lamp and shrouded Ren Yu in the shadow. He said in a cold tone: “you know, the click through rate of this video between you and him on the Internet is very high. Many people say you are very, general and matched.”

“Should string!” Qiu Yan gave a reprimand.

Ren Yi narrowed his eyes: “I’m here to help handle the case. Don’t talk about irrelevant topics.”

Gong Yingxian strongly suppresses his anger. Ren Yu’s indifference to him at this time forms a huge contrast with Yan Jue’s kindness in the video, which makes him angry and jealous. He took a deep breath and whispered, “we suspect that he followed you and other fire fighters, paid close attention to your police and collected your news.”

“Is he a stalker? A fanatic admirer?”

“Maybe both.”

“Did you ask him?”

“Not yet. He is a minor. We are very careful.”

“There’s nothing to be cautious about. He showed up at the crime scene.”

Qiu Yan nodded: “we have contacted his guardian today and will bring him to the police station to cooperate with the investigation later. In fact, I want you to come today. Maybe you can help in the process of inquiry. It’s important for us to observe his reaction and attitude towards you.”

“Yes.” Ren Yu really can’t connect a sunny looking teenager with the X education organization. Besides, Shi Naiwei is an international school. The students in it are either rich or expensive, and they don’t match the characteristics of fire addiction. Maybe there is some misunderstanding.

Qiu Yan looked at his watch: “he should be here, Captain Ren. I’ll talk to him first and I’ll call you when necessary.”

Ren Yu nodded.

When Qiu Yan came to the door, he stopped, turned around, looked at Gong Yingxian, and motioned him to go with him, but Gong Yingxian didn’t move as if he hadn’t seen it. Qiu Yan shook his head helplessly, opened the door and left.

Only Gong Yingxian and Ren Yu were left in the office, and there was suffocating silence.

Gong Yingxian sat silently next to Ren Yi, and sat so straight, without turning his head or talking. It seemed that it was enough to sit next to Ren Yi.

Ren Yu was on pins and needles. He didn’t walk or move. He seemed to feel the heat emitted by Gong Yingxian.

He finally couldn’t stand it. He got up and wanted to go out. He moved and Gong Yingxian stood up: “where are you going?”

“Toilet.”

Gong Yingxian couldn’t help following up.

Ren Yu took a few steps and finally couldn’t help looking back: “what are you doing?”

Gong Yingxian stared straight at Ren Yu and whispered, “do we want to be like this all the time?”

“You can not.”

“Can we make up?” Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yu without blinking, even with a trace of innocence in her eyes.

Ren Yu took a breath and showed a bitter smile: “I used to be because you just didn’t understand the world. Now I find that you lack the ability of empathy. You are too cold. You can’t feel the pain of others. You don’t care about the harm to others. You don’t really feel guilty for hurting my father. Your apology is just to deal with me.”

Gong Yingxian’s face changed slightly. He explained: “obviously, you can’t make a rational judgment on things because you are mixed with personal feelings. If you can jump out of the framework of family affection and look at the case carefully, you will find how suspicious your father is.”

“Even if he is suspicious, you have no right to deeply hypnotize him!” Ren Yu growled, “you know it’s illegal to do that, so you lied to me to sign an exemption agreement.”

Gong Yingxian lowered his eyes and whispered, “the exemption agreement was requested by Dr. Pompeii.”

“So Dr. Pompeii doesn’t know that this matter has not been approved by the guardian, right?” Ren Yi picked up Gong Yingxian’s collar. “You took this Agreement and lied to me to sign it. The other lied to Dr. Pompeii for unconventional medical means. Everything is for your own purpose. You dare to ask me not to be angry with you with an innocent face. Do you really don’t know what you have done, or you don’t take it seriously!”

Gong Yingxian opened his mouth, but he couldn’t spit out half a word.

“I will try my best to protect my father’s reputation, so I will cooperate 100% to investigate the case, but between us…” Ren Zhuo was cruel and spit out bloody words, “there is no need to have other contact.”

Gong Yingxian’s face turned gray. He gritted his teeth and said, “it’s impossible. I’ll never agree!”

“It’s not up to you to agree or disagree.”

Gong Yingxian stepped forward and stood in front of Ren Yu. A shadow cast on his face, as if to hide most of his emotions. He whispered, “Ren Yu, it took you a lot of effort to enter my world. You can’t go out anymore.”
