Wei Chaocheng's hand froze in the air, but he did not take the gift box as he went.

"Junior sister, it's not a particularly expensive thing... a brooch is the style you used to like."

Gu Qingtong opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Do you still remember?"

-

Eight years ago in early March, the Jinyang Criminal Police Team recruited members of the serious crime team from the city.

Anyone who meets the requirements in the system can register, and the assessment time is set in mid-May.

Gu Qingtong missed the intensive application before graduation and worked as a film police officer in the police station in the jurisdiction for nearly a year. After learning the news, she made up her mind and would never miss this opportunity again.

Two months of pre-exam preparation, she reviews her homework, trains her physical fitness, and practices shooting. She is afraid that one thing that is not done properly will lead to failure.

Maybe the string was too tight. The last mock assessment of the rescue of hostages was almost wiped out. Fortunately, his partner Wei Chaocheng reminded her to pay attention to the real difference between "knitters" and "hostages".

Wei Chaocheng, at that time, had the same surname as his adoptive parents, named Yu Chaocheng.

He is four years older than Gu Qingtong, worked in the criminal police team for five years, and has rich criminal investigation experience.

In the previous few assessments, Wei Chaocheng ranked first in the results, and the examiner has listed him as the most suitable candidate.

In the last assessment, Gu Qingtong and Wei Chaocheng conducted a group operation, and the task was to find out the specific distribution of "killers" and "hostages" in a closed space.

Gu Qingtong was too anxious and made a mistake at the beginning of her actions, almost exposing herself to the vision of the "killer".

Wei Chaocheng promptly escaped danger and found out the situation in the "Bank Hall" with Gu Qingtong, and sent reliable information back to the "Headquarters".

Unexpectedly, the difficulty of the assessment suddenly increased, and the "hostage" and the "killers" had an argument, and both sides were in a state of unstable mood.

Wei Chaocheng and Gu Qingtong quickly discussed and decided to surround the "bank hall" from the side of the "bank hall" and deal with the four "knitters" who were in charge of the "hostages" as soon as possible, and then find a breakthrough to take the "hostages" to a safe area.

The action was successful.

After the assessment, the examiner specially praised Wei Chaocheng and Gu Qingtong, and awarded them the medal of the best on-the-spot adaptability.

At that time, Wang Zhizeng, the head of the serious crime team, was very optimistic about Wei Chaocheng and repeatedly urged him to report to the criminal police team on time.

On the day when the admission letter was received, Wei Chaocheng asked Gu Qingtong to meet.

The two had a buffet together and went for a walk in the pedestrian street in the center of Jinyang. On early summer nights, the pedestrian streets were paired with couples. A short video was played in a loop in the sky to remind everyone that the 520 confession festival is coming soon.

Gu Qingtong was focused and only browsed the goods displayed in the street windows at will.

When she visited a jewelry store, she was deeply attracted by the owner's exquisite handicrafts. A swan-shaped retro brass brooch made her love unsatisfied. However, she looked in the mirror and put the brooch back in its original place.

Wei Chaocheng asked her: "Why don't you buy it?"

Gu Qingtong whispered: "I don't know what occasion to wear it, and there is no suitable clothes for it."

"So you are worried about this - it doesn't matter. I'll buy you two skirts later, so I'll be dressing you up beautifully!"

Wei Chaocheng took out his wallet and asked to pay, but Gu Qingtong stopped him.

"Senior brother, forget it, let's go. If I have a fate with it, it will definitely belong to me in the future."

Gu Qingtong turned around and left the jewelry store.

Wei Chaocheng stared at her back, picked up the brooch and put it down, and he rubbed it for a long time before he came out of the store...

-

He pulled away from his memories, and the misty water vapor quietly blocked Gu Qingtong's vision.

She gently put the gift box back next to the pillow and looked up at Wei Chaocheng's gaze: "Senior brother, so many years have passed, thank you for remembering it!"

Wei Chaocheng has been in the world of fame and fortune for several years, and his heart has been trained to be invincible by all poisons, but the person he cares the most is crying in front of him.

He was in a panic and rushed to find a pack of tissues to help Gu Qingtong wipe his tears.

"Junior sister, actually... I've prepared the gift for a long time, but I haven't had the right opportunity to give it to you."

Gu Qingtong was full of surprise and asked with tears in her eyes: "You mean, did you buy it on the pedestrian street that night?"

"I'm very slow and I bought it the next day." Wei Chaocheng smiled self-deprecatingly, "Things of the world are unpredictable. Who would have thought that after only one night, my life would be upside down. I didn't have the chance to see you again, and I didn't have the chance to give you a gift."

"We can't find you," Gu Qingtong asked, "I can't even call you, but my phone can't be connected, and it ends up just becoming an empty number."

Wei Chaocheng said: "At that time, my adoptive father was diagnosed with liver cancer and urgently needed a large amount of surgery. At that time, I didn't save any savings. A friend handed me an olive branch. He promised to lend me money to treat my adoptive father, provided that I had to resign and go to work with him. After completing the resignation procedures, I canceled my original mobile phone number and completely cut off contact with my former colleagues and friends."

Gu Qingtong whispered: "Senior brother, do you know? You left without saying goodbye, which made Team Wang so angry."

Wei Chaocheng admitted that the situation was urgent and could not care about what others thought and thought, but he always apologized: "I have been thinking for so many years that I have sent Team King to a sincere apology."

Whenever he thinks of Wang Zhizeng's angry look, Gu Qingtong still feels scared.

"You voluntarily gave up your admission qualification, and Team Wang got angry. He called your superiors and heard that your anger was slightly relieved because of family matters. Team Wang really felt that you were a rare seed player - he said that if you were in the serious crime team, you would be the one who replaced him as the person in charge."

Wei Chaocheng looked embarrassed: "Junior sister, how are he doing in Team Wang?"

Gu Qingtong told the truth: "Captain Wang has retired, and their whole family has gone abroad to live."

"I don't know if I can meet him again in my lifetime?" Wei Chaocheng sighed quietly, "I have indeed let him down..."

Suddenly, the nurse's inquiry sounded again outside the ward.

"Ms. Gu, your family is here. Can he go in now?"

"Come in!"

Gu Qingtong rubbed her sore eyes and walked to the door with great energy. Before she could touch the door handle, the door suddenly opened.

Ji Heng's arms were strong and powerful, which was not very harmonious with his thin body shape.

Before he could speak, he had already hugged Gu Qingtong tightly into his arms.

"Aheng, why are you? I thought it was Team Pan and the others."

"I'm late-" Ji Heng's voice trembled, "Xiaotong, what I want to say to you is not just the three words 'sorry'! I shouldn't have left, I..."

Gu Qingtong raised her face and raised her hand to cover his mouth: "I understand if I don't say it anymore."

The light in Wei Chaocheng's eyes suddenly dimmed.

He turned around and walked to the window, clenched his fists and smashed hard towards the windowsill. His hands had not touched the marble surface yet, and the door of the ward was pushed open again.

Wei Chaocheng didn't look back: "Is there any ending? Is it time to go, do you treat this place as a vegetable market?"

The people who came in this time were not medical staff, but Pan Shaofang and Gu Qingtong's parents.

Pan Shaofang Yu was surprised: "Xiaoyu? Didn't I recognize the wrong person?"

"Senior Brother Pan?" Wei Chaocheng had to hide the depression in his heart when he saw his old friend, "Didn't you say you took the morning flight? You arrived just at half past eight?"

"It's raining heavily in Jinyang. We took a three-hour red-eye flight. It's just right to arrive at Longyan City." Pan Shaofang stepped forward and shook hands with Wei Chaocheng. "Thanks to you who saved Xiao Gu, you are the hero of our serious crime team!"

Gu Siwei and Yue Wenjuan thanked Wei Chaocheng and rushed to Gu Qingtong to check his daughter's injuries.

Yue Wenjuan pulled Ji Heng away and pushed him aside.

"Is it useful to be anxious now? What have you done before?"

Ji Heng lowered his head guiltily: "Auntie, I did not keep my promise. You have no complaints if you want to beat or punish me."

Gu Qingtong grabbed Yue Wenjuan's hand and said softly: "Mom, good mother, Ah Heng is not my personal bodyguard. If there is a fire in the city gate, you will immediately put out the fire. You cannot harm the fish in the pond."

Yue Wenjuan pulled her hand back and poked Gu Qingtong's forehead with distress.

"You..."

"Mom, I'm not seriously injured." Gu Qingtong raised his wrist, "There are only stitches here, no fractures or damages the vital points."

"You still want to hurt the vitals?" Yue Wenjuan's eyes turned red, "I think you don't want to be a policeman. I will quit when I go back this time and go abroad with us! What's wrong with doing? Do you have to deal with bad people all day long?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Siwei hurriedly pulled his wife's clothes.

"Wife, let's go and meet the attending doctor! Team Pan also has something to tell Xiaotong, so don't delay the matter."

Yue Wenjuan wiped her tears and left the ward with her husband.

"My mother is quick and easy to talk, Team Pan, don't be surprised." Gu Qingtong looked behind Pan Shaofang, "Didn't Xiao Wu Haiyang Da Cao come?"

“They are handling the case.”

Gu Qingtong was shocked: "There is a new case?"

Pan Shaofang looked at Ji Heng and Wei Chaocheng nearby. They understood each other and left the ward one after another.

As soon as the door was closed, Gu Qingtong hurriedly asked, "Captain Pan, what case is related to Han Xiao?"

Pan Shaofang said: "At three o'clock this morning, the room waiter of the Genting Hotel woke the customer up as agreed to take medicine. Unexpectedly, a male corpse was found in room 1890. The identity of the deceased has been found. He is Jiang Chushan, chairman of Longyan City Jiang's Group."

Gu Qingtong exclaimed unconsciously: "Who is the deceased?"

"Jiang Chushan, the largest real estate developer in Longyan City back then, has now achieved business nationwide." Pan Shaofang added, "Next, we will join forces with the Longyan City police to solve this case as soon as possible!"

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

Gu Qingtong's eyes flew past Pan Shaofang, penetrated the glass window on the door, and stayed on Wei Chaocheng's back.

Yesterday evening, Wei Chaocheng ordered his assistant Xiao Qin to contact Mr. Jiang of the Jiang Group to discuss business. Moreover, when he came to the hospital this morning, he repeated the same remarks and emphasized that the banquet was held all night.

If Jiang Chushan was killed at night, Wei Chaocheng was the most suspicious.
