Chapter 13 Death of an Internet Celebrity 07 Is it fun to tease me?
Chapter 7
Yue Fanglin and others were taken to the guesthouse. The accommodation was pretty good. They were all single rooms with double beds and private bathrooms. The guesthouse also provided breakfast and midnight snacks. After walking a few hundred meters to the right, there was a night market on another street, which made it very convenient to experience the special food of Pengcheng.
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue live next door to each other, and Yue Fanglin lives across the street.
It was very late, so Lu Changfeng went back to his room and took a shower, hoping to finish quickly and rest early.
When he finished taking a shower, blow-dried his hair, and came out of the bathroom to open his phone, he found an extra message on WeChat.
It was sent by Jing Jue: [Are you asleep? ]
Lu Changfeng replied to him: [Not yet, what’s wrong? ]
He thought Jing Jue wanted to ask him out for a midnight snack or something.
After waiting for a while without seeing any reply from Jing Jue, Lu Changfeng put down his phone and prepared to go to bed, when his phone rang again.
Jing Jue sent another message: [I can’t sleep, can I come to your place and talk to you? ]
Lu Changfeng: [Come on. ]
He got out of bed and opened it. Jing Jue came over just in time, and Lu Changfeng stepped aside to let him in.
Jing Jue's face was wet, and there were water stains on the exposed skin. It was obvious that he had rushed over after taking a shower without drying his body.
Lu Changfeng said to him: "Why are you in such a hurry? Can I still lock you out?"
"It's not like you haven't been locked up before." Jing Jue muttered softly.
Lu Changfeng was a little speechless and went to the bedside to charge his phone: "Why can't you sleep?"
He went to the bathroom and got a towel and handed it to Jing Jue, "Wipe the water off your body, you are not afraid of being uncomfortable."
Jing Jue took the towel, wiped it twice, put it down and said, "Think about the case. What if we can't catch the murderer?"
"It's good to think about the case, but don't let your imagination run wild and put pressure on yourself." Lu Changfeng took the towel back to the bathroom and put it away, then sat down next to Jing Jue. "The police are not omnipotent. In the process of solving the case, as long as we do our best and live up to the deceased, we have fulfilled our obligations and responsibilities. If the police can solve every case, there won't be so many unsolved cases."
Lu Changfeng stretched out his hand and squeezed the back of Jing Jue's neck. "Just do your best in this case and live up to your identity and the deceased."
Jing Jue: "If we can't solve the case, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
Lu Changfeng asked him: "Is your original intention to become a criminal policeman because of the unlimited glory of this profession? If you want the glory, then you should become a star."
Jing Jue shook his head and denied it: "My original intention of becoming a police officer was to uphold justice in my heart. I wanted to be like you and seek justice for the deceased."
"As long as you insist on seeking justice for the deceased, and you have tried your best, what's there to be ashamed of if you are unable to solve the case due to limited ability or insufficient evidence?" Lu Changfeng said in a resounding voice: "It's not shameful to try your best but still fail to solve the case. What's shameful is those who don't try their best to solve the case, resulting in the case being unsolved and the victims not getting the justice they deserve."
"Police should never regard the success rate of solving cases as the first criterion of their profession. It is our responsibility to prevent, stop and investigate illegal and criminal activities."
Seeing that Jing Jue had not completely regained his confidence, Lu Changfeng continued to comfort him: "I know this is the first case of our team, and also the first case you have participated in solving since you became a police officer. It is normal for you to feel pressure when entrusted with such an important task. Jue Jue, with me and Captain Yue here, Captain Lin and Captain Chen are also experienced criminal police, and they are not much worse than me and Captain Yue. With so many people brainstorming together, we will definitely be able to solve the case."
Jing Jue nodded. Maybe he was not good enough, as he was just a newcomer in the industry, but there were many outstanding people in this team.
He asked Lu Changfeng: "I want to sleep at your place tonight, is that okay?"
Lu Changfeng was stunned. He didn't expect that his thinking would have such a big leap.
Jing Jue said: "I am a little anxious, but when I am with you, I am not so anxious anymore."
He pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "I'll sleep there. I won't go to bed."
Lu Changfeng choked. He was not afraid that Jing Jue would do something to him. He knew Jing Jue. The forceful kiss in the bathroom was the most Jing Jue could do to him without his permission.
Deep down, I still listen to him and put everything about him first.
"The sofa is too small. If you sleep on it all night, you'll have backaches." Lu Changfeng sat on the bed and patted the spot next to him, "Come and sleep."
Jing Jue: “Is it okay?”
"If you don't come, you can sleep on the sofa. It's getting late and I'm going to sleep anyway." Lu Changfeng lay down. He was really tired after running all day.
Seeing this, Jing Jue got on the bed carefully to avoid touching Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng pushed him and instructed him: "Turn off the lights."
Jing Jue reached out and turned off the light, but the room was not completely plunged into darkness.
Jing Jue's whole body was tense and his breathing was barely detectable.
Lu Changfeng said: "I don't hate you. You will remain the same as you were before."
He patted Jing Jue's bed twice and whispered, "Go to sleep."
Just like when Jing Jue first came to his house, Jing Jue always had nightmares at night, dreaming about the death of his parents.
Jing Jue subconsciously moved closer to Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng subconsciously stretched out his arm to serve as a pillow for Jing Jue.
For countless nights, Jing Jue sought peace in Lu Changfeng's arms, and Lu Changfeng was used to protecting Jing Jue.
When Jing Jue realized this, he became a little nervous.
Lu Changfeng also reacted, but he did not push Jing Jue away. Instead, he put his arms around Jing Jue and patted his back gently, just like before. "Just sleep like this, don't toss and turn, we still have to investigate the case tomorrow."
Jing Jue hummed, rested his head on Lu Changfeng's arm, and felt extremely at ease being held in Lu Changfeng's arms.
He never thought that after he broke the window paper, Lu Changfeng would still be so tolerant of him and hold him in his arms as if nothing had changed.
This night was the most sound sleep he had since he fell in love with Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng used practical actions to tell Jing Jue that in his heart, Jing Jue would always be the same Jing Jue. Even though he had been rebellious, hurt Lu Changfeng with his words, and had developed strange feelings for Lu Changfeng, Lu Changfeng still kept Jing Jue in his heart and was still willing to love him.
Lu Changfeng did not avoid Jing Jue or deliberately distance himself from him. He was still the Lu Changfeng that Jing Jue was familiar with and liked.
Jing Jue felt at ease. It was fine like this. It was good to be able to stay with Lu Changfeng forever.
Lu Changfeng's arm was numb from being pressed by Jing Jue. It had been many years since anyone had pressed his arm like this.
Jing Jue felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry."
Lu Changfeng glanced at Jing Jue with a playful look, kneading his numb arm, "Apologize for numbing my arm?"
Jing Jue hummed.
Seeing him like this, Lu Changfeng felt like bullying him because he was so silly. "But I don't want to forgive you. What should I do?"
Jing Jue panicked a little, and looked at Lu Changfeng, and found that he was laughing. Then he realized that Lu Changfeng was teasing him, and for a moment he was embarrassed and annoyed, "Is it fun to tease me?"
"It's fun." Lu Changfeng walked to the bathroom. "It's getting late. Go back to your room and wash up. If Xiao Zhou and Captain Yue wake up and see you in my room, it will be difficult to explain."
Jing Jue: "They know about our past. It doesn't matter if you and I sleep in the same room. It's like we had an affair last night."
After saying that, he immediately looked at Lu Changfeng's expression, worried that Lu Changfeng was unhappy.
Lu Changfeng wasn't a sensitive person. Hearing what Jing Jue said, he didn't get angry. "If you're not afraid of them seeing you, it's okay for you to stay here. There's nothing to explain anyway."
Jing Jue turned and left.
As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Yue Fanglin who was coming out from the opposite side.
Yue Fanglin was stunned when he saw Jing Jue coming out from the opposite door. "Did you switch rooms with Chang Feng?"
Jing Jue didn't expect to be caught. He clearly didn't have an affair, but he felt guilty. "No, no."
"So what are you doing?"
"I came to ask Captain Lu if I need to go out and buy breakfast for everyone."
Yue Fanglin said, "What did Changfeng say?"
"Captain Lu said to wait until you wake up. In case you want to eat local specialties, it would be bad to buy them in advance."
"Changfeng is really thoughtful." Yue Fanglin said to Jing Jue, "Then you should pack up and wait for Xiao Zhou to get up. We will go out for breakfast together and then go to the police station to continue investigating the case."
"Okay." Jing Jue knocked on Zhou Yu's door to wake him up.
Then he returned to his room.
Yue Fanglin did not go to look for Lu Changfeng, but instead stood at the window at the end of the corridor, daydreaming.
Not long after, Lu Changfeng came out after washing up. When he saw the message Jing Jue sent him, he smiled softly.
After everyone had packed up, they went downstairs together and had breakfast at the noodle soup shop at the corner of the street.
Jing Jue didn't know that pork liver would be added to the noodle soup, and he didn't tell the boss not to put pork liver in it. Lu Changfeng picked up all the pork liver in his bowl and put it in his own bowl. After confirming that there was no pork liver in Jing Jue's bowl, he added two spoonfuls of chili peppers to Jing Jue's bowl. The clear soup immediately turned into red soup, and said to Jing Jue: "This way you won't be able to taste the pork liver."
Yue Fanglin said: "If you don't like pork liver, you can order another portion. It won't cost much. You won't be afraid of spicing it up."
Lu Changfeng glanced at Jing Jue and said, "He can eat spicy food."
Jing Jue quickly confirmed: "I can indeed eat spicy food."
Seeing this, Yue Fanglin didn't say anything and asked the store owner to bring them a few bottles of iced soy milk.
After finishing breakfast, several people walked towards the police station.
Seeing the two of them, Lin Huan asked them: "Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll go out and buy it for you, or you can eat in the cafeteria."
"have eaten."
"That's good." Lin Huan said, "We have made some new discoveries here, and we are waiting for you to come over and share them with you."
Several people instantly became alert and listened attentively.
Lin Huan said: "When the technical detectives were watching the surveillance last night, they found that shortly after Jiang Hua returned home, the surveillance footage was abnormal. The footage was covered and tampered with. If we can restore the surveillance footage before it was tampered with, we should be able to find the murderer."
