Serial crimes
"It's me, are you surprised?"
The person who came was not the one he had been waiting for for a long time, but an uninvited guest.
There was no light in the room. Han Ming pulled out a chair and said sarcastically, "Do you like hiding in the dark so much?"
He and Shen Shiyu each played a role, the atmosphere was subtle, and the subtle sound of melon seeds moving seemed particularly abrupt in this house.
Shen Shiyu put the phone upside down on the table, "You're the same." He stood up and walked behind Han Ming, with a wicked smile, "After being a policeman for so long, do you really think you're clean?"
Shen Shiyu completely shed his innocent college student image and took on a side they had never seen before.
His eyes flashed dangerously in the dark night like a snake spitting out its tongue.
Han Ming sneered, "It seems you know me well too."
Of course he understood him, because when Han Ming doubted him, he also doubted Han Ming. Shen Shiyu said: "It took me a lot of effort to understand you."
Han Ming didn't care much and spread his hands. "So what do you want? Are you going to report me to Chen An? Will he believe you?"
He had no chance. Han Ming knew very well that the appearance of Jiang Li's corpse had made him lose the initiative.
"Who said I want him to believe me? I have my own way to drag you into the vortex. If I am arrested, how long do you think you and the people behind you can last?" Shen Shiyu knew much more than he thought. The smile on Han Ming's face completely disappeared, and under his face of quiet thought was the displeasure of being seen through.
There was a moment of silence, and then the gun was suddenly pointed at his face. Han Ming said, "I'll kill you, and that'll be it."
For a police officer with rich experience in criminal investigation, it is not difficult to handle the scene. He can just throw the body down the building and say that the man committed suicide out of shame because the incident was exposed.
Shen Shiyu was not afraid at all. Instead, he took a step forward and let the cold muzzle of the gun touch his skin completely. His rolling Adam's apple kept provoking the gun that might take his life, and a sinister smile was on his face.
The two men were in a stalemate for ten minutes. Han Ming did not pull the trigger, but cold sweat broke out on his back, soaking his clothes.
He realized something extremely terrible: he might have lost the ability to kill innocent lives.
Shen Shiyu was very satisfied with his reaction and casually pushed the gun away. "You can't do it. We have to admit that the environment and social morality can change a person. Han Ming, you won't kill me, and I guess you don't want to kill Chen An either."
He knew too well how easy it was for an outstanding person to be hated and killed. He joined the task force but remained in the serious crime squad. It was a good opportunity to kill him and put an end to it all. However, Chen An was still alive after the Ji Xiangyang case. Apart from Han Ming's hesitation, he could not think of any other reason.
"I've been keeping an eye on you since the day I learned your identity, but you haven't attacked anyone. You haven't attacked either Xun Muke or Chen An, two people with so many secrets. I guess you're just too greedy for the life of an ordinary person."
Shen Shiyu expressed his thoughts at the moment. He did disobey his superiors and found many excuses for the actions he was unwilling to take. But even so, he still wanted to expose Shen Shiyu and drive him away from Chen An.
Han Ming was about to say something when Shen Shiyu seemed to see through him. "I can't possibly stay with Chen An. You don't need to tell me that." He squatted beside the cage, looking at this lively gift. "He and I are not the same kind of people. We can never walk the same path."
The loneliness in his words was so obvious that Han Ming couldn't help but hear it. He always felt that Shen Shiyu must have a purpose in approaching Chen An. Now he thinks that this purpose may be mixed with some sincerity.
Shen Shiyu teased the little hamster and suddenly called out his name, "Han Ming."
"How about we make a deal?"
"What?"
"Since you're turning against us, do it thoroughly."
"What's the meaning?"
"The task force is on their way. Cooperate with me and let me escape. After returning to the organization, I will continue my plan to overthrow the Elders and destroy Yaojin. I promise to help you break free from the past. No one will know your identity. You will still be Chen An's good brother and a good police officer in the Municipal Bureau."
Han Ming looked at him intently. He looked like a demon tempting people to commit crimes. "Why should I believe you?"
"The task force alone can't take down Yaojin."
No one knows how difficult it is to eradicate a criminal empire that has lasted for generations, and no one knows how difficult it is to conduct cross-border arrests. He just wants to shorten the tug-of-war of blood and tears.
Han Ming's strong point was not understanding people's hearts, but at this moment, a ridiculous idea suddenly arose in his mind, "You want to protect him?"
This is simply unbelievable.
Shen Shiyu turned his back and did not answer him.
There was another selfish reason for keeping Han Ming. Chen An had lost too much, and he didn't want to be left alone in the end.
Silence was almost a confirmation. Han Ming was a little shocked. After a moment, he said, "I can cooperate with you. Remember to fulfill your promise."

As the elevator continued to go up, Chen An's heart beat faster and faster. The task force members were stopped downstairs by him, and he needed time to digest the successive blows.
The time of going up was infinitely stretched, and Luo Min's words echoed in his ears.
"We've verified that the person next to you is indeed not Jiang Li, but the current head of Yaojin, Shen Shiyu. We also have a more detailed understanding of this person. His biological father, Shen Lianqin, was the previous head of Yaojin. He illegally entered the country in 2006 in search of the missing Shen Shiyu. Shen Shiyu himself has a difficult life. It is said that he has a pair of adoptive parents, but no information about them has been found."
All the memories of the past flashed back before his eyes, related and unrelated. Finally, he sorted out the truth from the complicated clues. There must be a blood feud between their two families.
Chen An frowned. The elevator door opened, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't take a single step.
The corridor was dark. He inserted the key into the lock and was greeted by Shen Shiyue's resounding voice, "You're back!"
His smile was completely inconsistent with the cruel man described in the information. Chen An even had an illusion that nothing had happened and they were still a simple couple.
Warm light shone on the two of them, and Shen Shiyu took the initiative to come over and greet them as usual, "Why are you back so late?"
Chen An followed him to the dining table, and Shen Shiyu enthusiastically introduced the dishes he made, "Ding ding~ I made pasta."
Chen An stared at him without blinking, with something strange in his eyes, as if he couldn't see him clearly.
Sadness spread quietly. Shen Shiyu's enthusiasm was not responded to. He grabbed the plate and took a bite with a fork. He lowered his head and blinked frantically. Crystal tears fell into the plate and disappeared. The next second, the plate was taken away. Chen An took a big bite and praised: "There is progress, but it's too salty." If you don't cry, the taste should be just right.
But he couldn't say the following sentence.
"Brother, I told you, I really didn't expect this day to come. Do you believe me?"
This address rarely appeared after they were together, unless there was something to ask for. Now, because of the address, it became a plea, a plea for his trust.
Now their minds are as clear as a mirror, you know me and I know you. The additional identities can easily make people blind and unable to tell whether it is love or exploitation.
On the way back, he kept wondering, did Shen Shiyu approach him on purpose? Now he had the answer to this question.
Having finished his noodles, Chen An put his fork away, looked at him, and said truthfully, "Believe it."
Tears welled up in his eyes, and Shen Shiyu finally confirmed their feelings in this tragic way.
Chen An put the dishes in the sink, and all his movements seemed extremely slow. Suddenly, there was a burst of urgent and heavy banging on the door outside. It sounded like someone was about to break in at any moment. He walked out and met Shen Shiyu's eyes. The other party shook his phone and said, "I sent a distress signal for you."
