Gao Zijian put Chen Chao's bag in his room in the hotel. The bag contained all cash, probably about half a million yuan. Gao Zijian took a sneak look at it. He knew that this was unethical, but if he didn't
Look, he still feels uneasy. Chen Chao brought so much money back, but he didn't put it in the bank and asked him to keep it privately. He felt that something must have happened this time, and it was not a big deal.
But since he is a brother, he will help if he can. No matter what Chen Chao does, he will always be Gao Zijian's eldest brother. The friendship for so many years is there, and there is no need for him to get to the bottom of it. When he wants to say something,
He will naturally say it.
During this period, Gao Zijian bought a lot of food and put it in the rental. Chen Chao basically didn't go out. Except for sneaking downstairs at night, he never went out during the day. Gao Zijian didn't grow back, and would come back to visit occasionally.
Watch him, have a drink with him, and have a chat.
In a flash, the brothers had not seen each other for seven or eight years. In this world, the fastest thing is always time. Chen Chao missed the past very much. Every time they drank and chatted, they would talk until they were in junior high school.
Now that everyone has gone out into the society, many friends have lost contact. Regarding what happened in the past few years, Chen Chao did not mention a single word, and Gao Zijian did not ask. Some things cannot be discussed without asking.
You can ask.
At around ten o'clock that morning, Shi Bing drove to the Imperial City Hotel to look for Gao Zijian. Gao Zijian was in his office at the time, so Shi Bing opened the door and walked in directly without knocking.
Gao Zijian looked up and saw that it was him, "Oh, isn't this our captain? You came here so early. I said you are serious, you just don't know how to knock on the door. The style of the army was forgotten so quickly.
." He said with a smile and threw a cigarette to Shi Bing.
Shi Bing took the cigarette and lit it, sat across from him at the table and said, "Don't talk to me about this. I have been out of the army for many years, and I have long forgotten the style of the army."
Gao Zijian smiled helplessly and said, "Fuck, you, by the way, you came to me this early in the morning. Is there something wrong?" For so many years, Shi Bing has never come to see him during the day, usually during the day. After get off work, if there are a lot of cases, I won’t have much time in the evening.
Shi Bing took a puff of cigarette and said, "What's wrong? I can't come during the day if I have nothing to do?"
Gao Ziqiang leaned back and said, "Come on, I don't know you yet. It's working time now. You're not in the office, but you come to me. Only the devil can believe that you're fine. If you need anything, just tell me immediately."
, why are you pretending to be with me?"
Shi Bing smiled and said, "You really fucking understand me. By the way, I'm here to ask you something. Has Brother Chao been looking for you recently?"
Chen Chao? Gao Zijian didn't understand why Shi Bing asked this, but he always had a feeling in his heart that it would definitely not be a good thing if Shi Bing came to him so early in the morning to ask about Chen Chao, combined with his status as a police officer.
, Gao Zijian was stunned for a moment when he thought of all the abnormalities that had happened after Chen Chao came back.
"Hey Zijian, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?" Shi Bing waved his hand in front of him.
"Oh, I didn't think about anything. You said Brother Chao? No, I haven't seen him for many years. I remember the last time we met was when we went to sing with Shijie. Weren't you there at that time?
"Gao Zijian said with a careless eye. He could not reveal Chen Chao's return for the time being.
Shi Bing thought for a while and said, "Then where will he go? Zijian, if Chen Chao comes to see you, remember to tell me, this matter is very important." Shi Bing's words were not a joke at all.
Gao Zijian hurriedly asked, "Bingzi, what happened? Did something happen?"
Shi Bing sighed, took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to him, saying, "You'll know after you take a look."
Gao Zijian took the document inexplicably and looked at it. It didn't matter. He was dumbfounded at the time, because it was a nationwide arrest warrant. There was a photo of a man on the warrant, and this man wanted by the police across the country.
It was none other than Chen Chao. His approximate age, height and characteristics were written below the photo. No specific details were given, except that he was a murder suspect and that he was wanted with a reward.
"What...what's going on? Why has Brother Chao become a wanted criminal? Bingzi, are you kidding me?" Gao Zijian actually had some clues in his mind, but he really wanted to know what Chen Chao had committed.
crime.
"I really hope this is a joke. This wanted order was only sent to the city bureau this morning. I just received it. At first, like you, I didn't believe it was true. But the facts are in front of us.
I have to believe it." Shi Bing's tone was helpless. It seemed that he didn't want to arrest Chen Chao, but he just had no choice.
"Bingzi, what crime has Brother Chao committed? What has he done in these years in other places?" Gao Zijian wanted to get the answer from Shi Bing, but it was only some information that the police had.
Shi Bing shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific case. According to the local police, he committed murder, and more than one life was committed."
"Bingzi, can this be a mistake? Don't you suspect that someone is framing Brother Chao?" Gao Zijian hoped to save Chen Chao once, but unfortunately, this time he calculated wrongly.
"I also hope that he was framed, but do you know? Chen Chao has been a swordsman in the south these years. You have been in the world for so long, you should know what the southern swordsman does for food."
Bing looked at him and said seriously.
Gao Zijian nodded feebly and said, "Well, of course I know that swordsmen are responsible for working for the boss. To put it bluntly, they are hired killers. It is a high-risk industry."
"Since you know, I don't need to say more. Whether Chen Chao is a murderer or not is not decided by us, but by the law. I also hope that all this is false." Shi Bing's words were a bit sad.
After all, he has been a friend for many years and he doesn't want to see Chen Chao get arrested.
"Bingzi, if...if Brother Chao is really a murderer, will you arrest him?" Gao Zijian suddenly asked.
"It's not me who wants to arrest him now, it's the country that wants to arrest him. It's him who is going against the country. Do you understand? I don't want to have a real confrontation with him, but I am a policeman and I have my responsibilities." Shi Bing looked at him.
He said it with a very firm look in his eyes.
"I'm not asking about the country, I'm asking you, can you do it?" Gao Zijian still asked.
"Zijian, I know what you are thinking. Let's not discuss this matter. I still have something to do in the bureau, so I'll leave first. If Chen Chao contacts you, remember to tell me." Shi Bing pinched.
Cigarette butts, get up and leave.
"Bingzi..." Gao Zijian suddenly stopped him.
Shi Bing turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Zijian?"
"Oh, it's okay, be careful when handling the case." Gao Zijian said with a smile.
Shi Bing nodded, smiled, turned around and left the hotel.
Gao Zijian stopped him just now because he wanted to tell him that Chen Chao was in his rental house, but when he said it, he took it back. He was a little confused. If Chen Chao was handed over to Shi Bing, he would
It is equivalent to harming Chen Chao, but if Chen Chao is not handed over, if Shi Bing finds out, he will blame him. After all, he is now a criminal harboring stolen goods.
Gao Zijian felt like he had a headache, but because of his years of brotherhood, he couldn't do this. He couldn't just watch the police send Chen Chao to jail or eat peanuts. Chen Chao's life was already very miserable.
His mother died and his father went in again. If he was killed again, his family would really have no one. But now that he has reached this point, whose fault is it? Is it the society or himself? The answer is,
