Chapter 111

The response on the other end of the phone was no response.

Ren Yu didn't speak either. He waited patiently for Gong to answer.

For a long time, Gong Yingxian asked in a very low voice, afraid of disturbing anyone: "go on."

"Do you remember the protective clothing you wore when you helped me deal with the chemical tanker?"

"Remember."

"The gas masks we wear have a whole piece of glasses like ski goggles and diving goggles. The exhalation port is thick, short and cylindrical, and each cheek has a large filter box."

Gong Yingxian is vaguely aware of something.

"That's a new gas mask. It's not very new. It was like this when I went to the Armed Police University. But the old gas mask doesn't last that long." Ren Yu took a deep breath and continued, "the old mask - my father's era, the first place where the glasses were separated was two large round glasses. There was no filter box on both cheeks. The filter element and the exhalation port were a whole and became a filter. The filter was not as thick as the current exhalation port, but it was longer."

"You mean... The bird mask I saw is actually an old gas mask." Gong Yingxian's voice trembled.

"I think it's possible." Ren Yi said, "first, I told you last time. I guess the killer may have worn protective equipment. Second, you were young and late at night."

"I was not big at that time, but a six-year-old child couldn't even distinguish birds." After Gong Yingxian finished, his heart began to have no bottom, but his impression was clearly

What is Mingming? Except that he was convinced that it was a bird's mask, but what it looked like was just a vague image in his brain.

"I went to primary school at the age of six. I really remember things." Ren Yu frowned and said, "this is just my guess. I saw a foreign spare mask in class today. Suddenly I felt a little like the mask worn by purple flame, and then I thought... In short, you can use it as a reference."

"I, I don't know." When handling cases, Gong Yingxian has always been decisive and resolute, and rarely lacks confidence in his own judgment. Even in the tens of minutes of racing against the clock at the concert site, any mistake will have irreparable consequences. He did not question any of his decisions, and the facts proved that he was all right.

But now he is really a little confused, because people's memory can deceive people.

"Let me send you some pictures of old-fashioned masks." Ren Zhuo said softly, "don't panic. The truth will come out. On that day, all their tricks will be exposed."

"OK." Gong Yingxian said, "this is a very important clue. If it can be confirmed, it will be very helpful to the case."

"Well, there were few shopping channels in those days, especially this kind of infrequently used thing. Maybe we can trace something."

"Ren Yu, have you ever thought about it?" Gong Yingxian hesitated, "that person may be... Fire... And other relevant personnel." He didn't say the word "fireman" in the end.

Ren Yu bit his lips: "... Yes. Emotionally, I don't want to think in this direction, but intellectually, it's possible."

The case is so complicated, but the settlement is so simple and rapid. Maybe there is more than one insider.

"Emotionally, I don't want the police to have problems, but intellectually, there are problems." Gong Yingxian said dully, "I will continue to check. Are you... Your study is over?"

Ren Yu felt that Gong Yingxian swallowed what he really wanted to say, and suddenly turned the conversation, so the last question seemed a little abrupt. He knew that there was no evidence at this time, and it was useless to say more, so he didn't ask. He said, "it's over this afternoon. There's another class in the afternoon."

"I haven't got away from looking for you these days. I'll pick you up sometime in the afternoon."

"You're busy. There's a car to take us back to the squadron in the afternoon."

"I want to pick you up." The last time they went to dinner after a meeting, something happened to the barbecue shop. Gong Yingxian was always uneasy.

Ren Yi smiled: "see you at half past five."

When I got back from the phone call, I saw that all the people in the classroom were gone - went to dinner, and only Yan Jue was still sitting in his place.

"Why don't you go to lunch?"

"Wait for you."

Ren Yu smiled: "what are you waiting for me?"

"You've been absent-minded all class and you don't look very well." Yan Jue looked at Ren Yu deeply. "You are the key protection object now. It's reasonable for me to care about it."

"It's all right." Ren Yi packed up his things. "Let's go and have dinner."

They left the classroom side by side, and Yan Jue looked at Ren Yu from time to time.

Ren Yi said reluctantly, "it's really all right. The phone call just now was helpful to the case."

"Is it officer Gong?"

"Yes."

Yan Jue was silent for a moment and said, "I can't help you."

"Who said that you helped me wrap up the pipe in the barbecue shop that day."

"I can help you in other places. Just open your mouth."

Ren Yu said with a smile, "no problem."

While having dinner, colleagues in the publicity department were taking pictures with cameras.

Someone coaxed: "what's good to shoot for dinner?"

"Take a picture of our food."

The camera gradually came to Ren Yu. Yan Jue seemed to casually embrace Ren Yu's shoulder and smiled brightly at the camera: "four fires, look at the camera."

"Hey, wait for me to swallow!" Ren Yi put the food into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like squirrels. As a result, he choked himself. He covered his mouth and coughed.

Yan Jue smiled and followed his back: "take your time, take your time, what's your hurry."

Everyone around is happy.

Ren Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "it's not you. They suddenly want to take pictures. These people are very hurt. How ugly I took them, they dare to let them out."

The photographer smiled and said, "it's true. I recorded this paragraph. What a good material."

"Shit, cut it off."

"Captain Ren, your burden is so heavy. Don't worry. For the good image of our fire fighters, I will cut off your dirty words just now."

Yan Jue took a paper towel, wiped the corners of Ren's mouth directly, then broke off his chin and looked carefully: "OK, handsome, shoot."

The two smiled at the camera, and there was a click from the camera.

-----

After the last class in the afternoon, the three-day study is over.

Ren Yu went back to his room to pack up and waited for Gong Yingxian to pick him up. Then the door of the room was knocked.

When I opened the door, it was Yan Jue.

"Come in and sit down."

Yan Jue took his luggage and said, "what else are you sitting on? I'm going downstairs to take a bus."

"Oh, I told the team leader that I don't take a car. Someone will pick me up."

Yan Jue was stunned: "is that officer Gong again?"

"Yes."

Yan Jue frowned, "he seems to be worried about you."

"After all, he faced those perverts directly. Now the police follow me everywhere I go." Ren Xuan picked his eyebrow, "enough noodles."

"You have a good relationship." Yan Jue stared at Ren Yu, "the police have protected you, and he will come to pick you up in person."

Ren Yi didn't know how to answer for a moment. He could only laugh: "we have to communicate the case."

"Then I'll go first." Yan Jue's complexion is not very good. "If you have nothing to do at night, play games together. You can call me at any time."

"No problem. See you later."

At this time, Ren Yu's phone also rang. He looked down and saw that it was gong Yingxian. It seemed that he had arrived in advance, "Hey, are you here? OK, I'll go down now."

After hanging up, Ren Yu took his luggage and said, "let's go. Let's go down together."

When they went downstairs, the minibus that sent them was parked at the door. Squadron leaders got on one after another, and the black horse shepherd stopped behind the minibus.

The shepherd's window suddenly came down slowly.

In such a cold day, there is no need to open the window, not to mention that Ren Yu is familiar with this car.

Gong Yingxian lowered the window to see the people around Ren Yu. Because they all wore the same clothes and were far away, he couldn't see clearly at first. Until he approached, he was sure that it was Yan Jue who was talking and laughing with Ren Yu.

Gong Yingxian gave a soft, unhappy hum.

Ren Yi waved to Gong Yingxian and shouted, "wait a minute."

He shook hands with the squadron leaders to say goodbye, politely said "drink together next time" and watched them get on the bus.

When it was Yan Jue's turn, Ren Jue stretched out his hand and joked, "see you in the king's Canyon."

Yan Jue hooked his lips and smiled. When he held Ren Yu's hand, he suddenly pulled him into his arms, hugged him, and patted him on the back twice: "bye." At the same time, he turned his head and stared directly at Gong Yingxian in the car. His eyes seemed calm, but with a trace of elusive emotion.

Gong Yingxian narrowed his eyes and a small flame of anger flared up - he felt that Yan Jue seemed to be provoking him.

Ren Yu was a little surprised, but he didn't think much. He also patted Yan Jue on the back: "let's go."

After the two separated, Yan Jue got into the car, and Ren Yi also got into Gong Yingxian's car. He threw his simple luggage into the back seat, rubbed his hands and said, "it's such a moment since I came out of the hotel that my hands are stiff. It's really cold this day."

Gong Yingxian pursed his lips and was still recalling Yan Jue's eyes just now. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he was, but he felt that he might be distracted and that normal male friends would hook up with each other.

"Close the window?" Ren Yu looked at Gong Yingxian in bewilderment.

Gong Yingxian recovered and raised the window. "Have you eaten?"

"No, the canteen here is not delicious at all."

"I'll take you to dinner."

"Go to your house? No, I have to go back to the squadron."

"No, go to... Restaurant."

Ren Yu was surprised.
