Chapter 18

"The palace of the palace."

"It is said that his family is engaged in chemical industry."

"Cousin's family died when he was very young."

"I hate fire."

When Ren Yu checked the explosion of Baosheng chemical plant on the Internet, his mind kept floating with these words he had heard.

In those years, the Internet was underdeveloped and there were not many contents that could be found, but it was enough to show the sensation and horror of the accident. In fact, Ren Yu didn't need to check online. He experienced the scene in those years and later did case analysis when he was in college, but now he needs to understand an angle he hasn't paid attention to before.

After identifying some information, Ren called a phone call to help him check the registered residence information.

Fu Kai's reply confirmed Ren Yi's conjecture.

Gong Mingyu, chairman of the group affiliated to Baosheng chemical plant, which exploded 18 years ago, is Gong Yingxian's father.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Ren Yu's brain and said "I hate fire" again and again. It was gong Yingxian's cold and gorgeous voice. At that time, he thought Gong Yingxian was deliberately angry with him. It turned out that behind the simple four words, there was such a tragedy.

A six-year-old child lost his home and family overnight, or in such a tragic way, how many people can bear such changes? He will become what he is now. There are all reasons to follow.

Ren Yu felt very uncomfortable. He had seen too many fires and knew how cruel the fire would leave people. Whether physical or psychological, just like the fire trace is completely irreversible, its damage will accompany him for life.

In what mood did Gong Yingxian become a police inspector and investigate the fire case? What was in his mind when he entered the riddled ruins burned by the fire? Is it... Is it forced to recall the past again and again?

Ren Yu was afraid to think about it. His chest was stuffy and flustered, and his eyebrows tightened.

His father was trapped in the rescue of the chemical plant for eight days and seven nights. Later, his father personally rescued Gong Yingxian from the fire, and then the two met and cooperated. Maybe there was the hand of fate that brought them together.

As a man who has been determined to be a firefighter since childhood, Ren Yu naturally has a sense of mission of "saving". For Gong Yingxian, perhaps participating in the investigation of fire cases is his own salvation. The combination of their fate should be meaningful. For example, the case from the fourth perspective is meaningful.

Ren Yu took out his mobile phone and silently looked at the message sent to him by Gong Yingxian.

thank you.

He called Gong Yingxian.

After the phone was connected, Ren Yu whispered, "where are you?"

"Branch, what's the matter?"

"I have something to tell you face to face."

"I'm going home soon."

"Wait for me. I'll go there now. It's very close."

Gong Yingxian hesitated: "see you in the parking lot."

Ren Yu said hello to his father, went downstairs and drove to Hongwu branch.

Entering the underground parking lot, Ren soon saw the horse Herder. The door was open and Gong Yingxian was sitting in the car reading materials.

Ren Yu got out of the car.

Gong Yingxian looked up at him, put down the information and got out of the car: "what's up?"

Ren Yu took a deep breath: "Dr. Gong, we can't give up."

Gong Yingxian frowned, and his eyes twinkled with incomprehensible thoughts.

"The case from the fourth perspective. Unless we can prove that Cai Wan is really not an accomplice, we can't just give up and let go of any criminal who may set fire to kill so many people." Ren Yu's chest fluctuated vigorously, "isn't that the meaning of being a police officer?"

Gong Yingxian narrowed his eyes: "what are you talking about?"

"I asked you why you are a police harmony inspector. You didn't answer, but you are a police harmony inspector just to eliminate violence and ensure good." Ren Yu stared at Gong Yingxian deeply. "Intuition and speculation can't be the law, but they can be the reason for us to continue our investigation."

Gong Yingxian pursed his lips: "your work is over. You don't need to worry about the rest."

"Do you really give up? Even if the case is closed, as long as we can find new evidence, we can still sue her. You don't want to let an arsonist go!"

"It has nothing to do with you. Go back." Gong Yingxian turned and was about to return to the bus.

Ren Yi stepped forward with an arrow and grabbed Gong Yingxian's shoulder.

Gong Yingxian's eyes flashed. He suddenly bent over, turned around, and clasped Ren Yu's wrist with one hand. In the blink of an eye, he had wrapped around Ren Yu's back. A catcher twisted Ren Yu's arm behind his back and connected the person to the door.

Ren Pang cried out and struggled hard, but Gong Yingxian's strength was frightening, and his hand was still. He really couldn't imagine how Gong Yingxian's gentle and noble appearance could have such savage power. He scolded: "shit, let go of me."

Gong Yingxian said coldly in Ren Yu's ear, "I said not to touch me casually." He let go of his hand, took a step back and looked down to tidy up his clothes.

Ren Yu shook his sore wrist. He just wanted to get angry. He thought of Gong Yingxian's life experience and felt soft again. He snorted coldly: "I don't have the same experience with you. See... In short, do you check it or not."

Gong Yingxian picked up the information on the driver's seat and handed it to Ren Yu.

Ren Yi turned it over casually. It was gong Yingxian's investigation of CAI Wan's father and daughter and relevant personnel. He even had information many years ago. He was happy: "I knew you wouldn't give up."

Gong Yingxian said, "you're not a police inspector. Your work is over. There's no need to participate."

"Are you kidding? I've been involved in so much. Can you just put it down? I put out the fire and saved many people. I just want to give a complete explanation to the victims and their families and let the perpetrators pay their due price. In addition, for the closed cases, the Branch Bureau won't give you police harmony support. Don't you need help?"

Gong Yingxian stared straight at Ren Yu: "are you really willing to help?"

"Why else would I come to you at night? I'm willing to sacrifice my private vacation to help you. Don't you appreciate it?" Ren Yi shook his wrist, "this is an industrial injury."

Gong Yingxian was silent for a moment: "OK, I'll find you if necessary."

Ren Yi pulled the corners of his mouth: "what should you say now?"

"Say what?"

Ren Yi shook his mobile phone: "these two words, ah, send a text message saying lack of sincerity, face-to-face is better."

Gong Yingxian sneered, "get out of the way."

"Not these two."

Gong Yingxian got into the car and closed the door.

Ren grabbed the reversing mirror and knocked on the car glass.

Gong Yingxian had to lower the window and squint at him.

Ren Yi grinned: "you're welcome."

Gong Yingxian was slightly stunned. He looked at Ren Yucan's eyes like stars without blinking. He was a little distracted for a moment.

"But you have to pay for the work-related injury. Please treat me to dinner."

"Do you have such a bad memory? I don't eat with people."

"What's the hypocrisy? You've had two meals with me, once in your car and once in your house." Ren Yu said, "you're sorry to thank me face to face. It's normal social etiquette to invite me to dinner. I know you don't eat. Watch me eat."

Gong Yingxian looked at his watch and hesitated.

"Just tell me what you checked." Ren Yu said with a smile, "there's a crayfish nearby. It's very delicious, but it's very expensive. I'm not willing to eat it at ordinary times. I can have a good time if you pay."

Gong Yingxian raised the window and threw down a sentence: "send the store name to my mobile phone."

----

Gong Yingxian was one step ahead of Ren Yu to the restaurant. He stood in front of the store with tacky neon lights. His face was green and his feet were as motionless as taking root.

When Ren Yu got out of the car, he saw Gong Yingxian nailed at the door of the store: "why don't you go in? There's air conditioning in it."

"So dirty." Gong Yingxian glared at Ren Yu, "do you have to eat in such a place?"

"It's delicious. I said, young master, you have some human fireworks. Don't you ever eat in a restaurant?" Ren Yi could not help swallowing the fragrance floating out of it.

"I never eat in such a dirty restaurant."

"It's OK. You don't eat anyway. Just go in and sit with me."

Gong Yingxian bit his teeth, seemed to make a great determination, and turned to his car.

"You really want to go." Ren Yi glanced, "thank you for not being sincere at all."

Instead of driving, Gong Yingxian opened the trunk and took out the tablecloth and disinfectant from it.

Ren Yu held back his smile: "you didn't have so many scruples when you investigated the case."

"That's a last resort." Gong Yingxian glared at Ren Yu again, then took a deep breath and walked into the restaurant.

They came at a very opportune time. It was the end of dinner and the supper had not begun. There were not many people. If they had dinner, they had to queue up.

Ren Yu asked for a box.

Entering the box, before the waiter began to speak, he saw Gong Yingxian walk around the table, choose a position near the window, take out the disinfectant and start spraying, and spray out a small half of the bottle at once.

The waiter was stunned.

Ren Yu said, "don't pay attention to him. I'll order."

After spraying disinfectant, Gong Yingxian spread the disposable tablecloth on the chair and table respectively, and then sat down carefully.

"Hey, you really don't eat. It's really delicious." Ren asked.

Gong Yingxian said angrily, "don't eat."

"Then take these first." Ren Yu sat next to Gong Yingxian and looked at Gong Yingxian sitting upright. He kept staring around. It was pathetic and fun.

"Come on, talk about the case."

Gong Yingxian shared the information he found with Ren Yu, mainly the complex social relations and recent trends between CAI Wan's father and daughter. There may be clues that can help them find the money that may or may not exist, or other evidence.

The two talked for a while, and the waiter began to serve. At once, he served four plates of crayfish with four flavors.

Gong Yingxian frowned, "have you finished eating?"

"What is this?" Ren Yu licked his lips, put on his gloves and began to peel shrimp. While peeling, he shouted, "Wow, it's so hot."

He peeled out a particularly complete and beautiful one. Ren Ying took it and shook it in front of Gong Yingxian: "really don't eat?"

Gong Yingxian said, "take it away."

Ren Yi put it into his mouth and said, "it's delicious."

Gong Yingxian quietly looked at Ren Yu and thought, how could he eat so delicious?

"Dr. Gong, you say you don't eat foreign food and hot food. Aren't you able to eat very little?" Ren Yu said, "you must think it's unhealthy for me to eat these things. I think what you eat is unhealthy. You eat cold meals all day."

"I just don't eat too hot. I can eat warm. My diet is nutritious." Gong Yingxian snorted coldly, "and clean."

Ren Yu smiled: "aren't you tired of living?"

"Ease is not the greatest meaning of living."

"All right, all right." Ren Yu raised his drink. "Come on, touch a water. You can always drink it." He pointed to the mineral water in front of Gong Yingxian.

Gong Yingxian hesitated, unscrewed the bottle cap and clinked a cup with Ren Yu.

"This cup, celebrate our happy cooperation, and wish you success in the future."

The two plastic bottles collided with each other and made a sound that was not loud at all, but both people were touched. His "cooperation" is about punishing evil and promoting good and judicial justice. They must succeed.

One ate and the other looked. Such a strange meal was unexpectedly harmonious.
