Lan Yu felt that the next thing would not develop well, and couldn't help holding his breath.

Officer Liu wiped away the tears from the frame, and his voice trembled slightly: "On July 24 last year, there were still two months before we were together. I have a week off. I can’t wait to be on the star of the delivery of supplies. Ship, go to the main star to meet him."

The huge starship slowly landed on the military docking apron of Sasu Star. Liu Zhao carried his simple luggage and waited at the exit of the ship early.

"Police Officer Liu, so active, the starship hasn't stopped yet." A starship soldier who knew him greeted with a smile.

Liu Zhao explained kindly: "It's been a long time since I returned to the main star, I was a little excited."

"Understand, understand." The starship squeezed his eyes again, "Need me to introduce you to some bars? The omega and beta in there are quite exciting."

This star warrior often handed over with Liu Zhao when he was transporting supplies or prisoners, so he was more familiar with him. Knowing that he was very soft-tempered, he joked.

Liu Zhao waved his hand again and again, "No, no, no, I'm not interested in these."

The Starship Soldier laughed loudly.

After the starship came to a complete stop, the hatch opened and the long gangway hung to the ground. Liu Zhao was the first to step out of the cabin, trot off the gangway, and boarded the shuttle bus.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and the shipyard was very remote. He finally called for a taxi at the terminal. As a result, the car hadn't stopped, and a person rushed out of the diagonal stab and opened the door first.

If it were normal, Liu Zhao would never fight and wait patiently for the next car. But not today. Every minute and every second before I saw the thread was so long and hard to endure.

He can't wait any longer.

Liu Zhao stood in the door of the car and prevented the person from getting in the car. He said, "This is the car I called. You can order another one by yourself."

The man looked at Liu Zhao from head to toe.

He didn't wear a police uniform today. It was just a very ordinary coat. The style was a bit outdated and old-fashioned, but he was ironed so hard. The small hair **** worn out on the cuffs were carefully cut off before he set off.

Leather shoes are the kind of leather shoes that middle-aged men love most. They have no special features. They are popular brands. Although the leather surface has a few wrinkles, it is very brightly brushed.

The man stared at Liu Zhao fiercely, trying to scare the ordinary man away, but he was not afraid, even with a kind smile on his chubby face.

"Unlucky..." the man murmured, leaving the car door with his hand and stepping back two steps.

Liu Zhao got into the taxi and closed the door.

"No. 12, Changda Street, Luya District, next to Black Crow Bar." He couldn't wait to recite the place name that he knew in his heart.

This is the place Xu rented in Sa Su Xing. He found a job in a nearby bar and waited for the end of Liu Zhao's tenure while working.

The taxi headed towards the destination, and Liu Zhao sat in the car, looking forward to and excited. Today, Xu is on day shift and is now at home. It is estimated that he is sitting on the old single-person sofa, drinking beer and watching today's news program.

He touched his pocket, felt the hard room card, and held it in his hand.

He wants to open the door quietly, stand at the door again, and look at his lover with a smile. So Xu Xu must have been incredulous when he saw him at the first glance, and then laughed.

—As I usually smile, my eyes curled up from the end of the eyes, full of surprises.

Liu Zhao looked at the neon signs on the street outside the window, and couldn't help laughing.

"Sir, is this going to see his omega? Smiling so happy." The taxi driver looked at him from the rearview mirror and asked.

Although Liu Zhao is not young anymore, the longing and joy on his face can be seen by drivers who have read countless people.

Liu Zhao wanted to say that it was his alpha lover, but felt that he didn't need to explain it so clearly, so he smiled and nodded: "Yes, go see my lover."

The taxi drove into the Lu Ya district, then entered a narrow-looking street, and stopped by the side of the road.

The driver turned around and asked: "Sir, Changda Street is here. No. 12 is inside, but the road is too narrow. I'm afraid it won't be easy to turn around after driving in. Or you can get off here and walk for a few minutes. ?"

Liu Zhao agreed very well, and rented out after paying the money.

Right in front is where Xu works, the Black Crow Bar, and the house he rents is next to the bar.

When Liu Zhao passed by the bar, he saw two security guards in black suits at the door. Someone was pushing the door to enter and exit, and the sound of music from inside floated out.

Xu worked as a cleaner in the bar. Liu Zhao felt that it was too messy and asked him not to do it or change his job. Xu refused.

"We need money. If you want to buy a boat and a wooden house in Chaya Star, your salary is not enough. I save more. The bar pays a lot of money, and ordinary people are not my opponents at all. They should be afraid of me. That's right, don't worry about it." Xu comforted him.

Liu Zhao looked sideways at the bar and continued to move forward, and almost bumped into a person oncoming.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He hastily apologized, and stepped aside.

The person who collided with him did not make a sound, and continued to move forward without looking back. Liu Zhao went to pick up the luggage that had fallen on the ground, and when he raised his head, he subconsciously glanced at the man.

He was a tall and thin person, wearing an off-white trench coat, with perfect body proportions.

When he passed the Black Crow Bar, he tilted his head slightly and looked there. Liu Zhao saw his side face, the bridge of his nose was high, casting a shadow on half of his face.

Although I can't see the specific appearance, I can see that this person looks very good based on the vague outline.

This was just a small episode, Liu Zhao didn't care. The small building Xu rented had already appeared in front of him, and his heart began to beat, full of expectation and excitement.

He ran a few steps until he reached the small building, and then followed the old iron escalator next to him and walked gently to the second floor.

The second floor was a passage with single suites on both sides. Liu Zhao couldn't suppress the smile on his face and stopped at the door of Xu's room.

He changed his luggage and took out the room card from his arms. Before putting on the recognizer, the door creaked slightly and opened a seam.

The sweet voice of the female news anchor came out of the crack in the door, and Liu Zhao shook his head helplessly, holding the card in the room.

Xu was still so careless, living in an unsafe place like Changda Street, and even forgot to lock the door.

He gently opened the door, and everything in the small room was clear at a glance.

On the left side of the room is a three-dimensional projection, showing today's news of the main city of Sassou, and the female anchor is on the scene explaining a car accident behind it.

The sofa in front of the projection is empty, and there is a cup of hot tea on the coffee table in front of it, and white smoke is still curling up.

On the floor between the sofa and the coffee table, there was a man face down on his stomach.

Liu Zhao's luggage fell on the ground, he rushed over quickly, turned the man over, Xu's bloodless face appeared in front of his eyes.

"Xu, Xu, what's the matter with you?" Liu Zhao patted his face lightly with his hands, his voice trembling with panic.

His gaze swept across the floor where Xu had just been lying down, where there was a puddle of sticky blood, which was shockingly red.

Liu Zhao's gaze slowly moved down, and he saw a peanut-sized gunhole at Xu's left chest and heart.

The gun eye is still leaking blood, the surrounding clothing has been soaked, a dazzling blood.

At that moment, Liu Zhao only felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an extremely cold ice cave, and his heart stopped beating, with thick hoarfrost hanging on it.

"Xu, Xu..." He shivered inconsequently, then dialed the terminal on his wrist, shaking his hands several times and couldn't press it correctly, and finally used voice recognition.

"No. 12, Changda Street, Luya District, someone was shot... No. 12, Changda Street, Luya District, please hurry up, someone was shot..."

"Liu Zhao..." An inaudible voice sounded, and Xu opened his eyes slightly.

"Hey, I'm here, Xu, I'm here." Liu Zhao pressed the gunhole with his hand, trying to prevent the dazzling red from leaking out, his mouth trembled and soothed, "Don't be afraid, ambulance and first responders It's coming soon, don't be afraid."

"Liu Zhao..." Xu murmured as he stared at the void with lost eyes.

Liu Zhao leaned down, put his mouth close to Xu's ear, and said hurriedly: "Xu, I am here, I am here, I will be by your side."

Xu has entered into a confusion of excessive blood loss, repeating Liu Zhao only in a barely audible voice.

"Don't talk, you don't talk, I'm here." Liu Zhao's face was as pale as the thread.

Xu Xu stretched out his hand into the air convulsively and was grasped by Liu Zhao. He suddenly widened his eyes and said something vaguely. Liu Zhao only heard the words prison and Longte star.

Xu exhausted all his strength to spit out the words intermittently, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and the words were blurred.

Liu Zhao stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, but wiped more and more in vain, so he could only cry: "I know, I know, don't talk..."

Xu's voice became smaller and smaller, and only his lips were still slightly opening behind. Finally, his eyes completely lost their brilliance, staring forward blankly.

"Xu, Xu..." Liu Zhao murmured, burying his head on his neck, the skin on his cheeks was still warm, still carrying his familiar smell.

He clasped the thread motionlessly, just knelt on the floor like that. I don't know how long it has passed. I heard the sound of an ambulance in a trance, the sound of footsteps on the stairs, and some people around me were talking.

"Sir, please cooperate with our investigation. Who is the deceased? What happened here just now..."

"On July 24th, there will be less than two months before I reunited with him." Liu Zhao put the photo frame in his hand back into the drawer and closed it slowly.

There was silence in the small prison guard dormitory, and Lan Yu and Lu Rankong did not say anything after hearing this passage of his narration.

For a long time, Liu Zhao continued with a hoarse voice: "After dealing with the funeral affairs, I thought about his words many times and came to the conclusion that there was a Longte star in the prison, and that Longte star killed him. "

"I know this idea is absurd, and no one will believe it, but other than that, I couldn't find other clues, so I renewed my contract with the prison. I want to stay here and find the person."

"I have collected information about the Longte star people everywhere, whether it is true or false, and collect them all before analyzing. So after seeing the painting of your prison, I knew that it was painted by Qichuxing, but that Only the three-legged gull is not. I have been watching everyone in the prison to see what is suspicious, and then investigate, but now I have not been able to find the person."

He paused, then turned his head and asked, "I told this experience, can I now prove that I am not a Longter star?"

Lan Yu met his red eyes with pain, making it clear that everything he said was true. If these deep sorrows are all performed, then I really have been a actor for so long in vain.

He glanced at Lu Rankong and replied, "I believe that you are definitely not from Longte."

Lu Rankong did not say anything, apparently agreeing with his statement.

"It was more than half a year since July 24th last year. In other words, the Longteer who killed Xu was in prison half a year ago." Lu Rankong whispered, "He didn't pass half a year ago. The opened interstellar channel is here."

Seeing Liu Zhao's mood calmed down, Lan Yu asked carefully: "Then you didn't report this to your head from behind?"

Liu Zhao wiped his face and said, “I know that Longte Star’s people are of great importance, and Xu also said that he is in prison, so he dared not report it to anyone in the prison. Give it to the upper ranks of the military."

"that…"

"I didn't receive any response. The sealed piece was like a stone sinking into the ocean." Liu Zhao looked down at the drawer in front of him, and said lightly: "Yes, how can I just say a few words to make the military think that he has encountered the legend The Longte? So I just searched for it myself, wanting to get the Longte out."

He turned his head to look at Lan Yu, and said in a dumb voice: "Unexpectedly, the military department really sent someone here. Unexpectedly..."

Lan Yu knew that this was because the interstellar channel was opened behind, and the military began to pay attention. He said: "We came this time, and the military received a report saying that the Longter star was found in mine A. Blood, according to calculations, the time is April 13. Do you have any impression of this?"

"April thirteenth, April thirteenth..." Liu Zhao frowned, lost in memory.

There was a rumbling in the sky, interrupting Liu Zhao's memory. There was bright light spilling outside the window, and the three of them couldn't help but looked out of the window together.

A huge starship slowly passed over its head, and you could see the black metal belly reflecting the light, which was a thick layer of ice formed on the surface as it traveled through space.

The starship flew over the prison, illuminating it as if it was daylight, and illuminating the prison guard office building tens of meters away.

No one worked there at night, no lights were on in the whole building, only the windows were open and the glass was shining.

The rumbling sound faded away, and the starship slowly flew to the landing pad not far away and landed.

Lu Rankong looked at the opposite office building, stepped back, and said, "Don't be next to the window."

Lan Yu knew this was out of caution, so he and Liu Zhao also stepped back and closed the curtains.

"The starship that greeted the supplies is here." Liu Zhao explained to the two: "After the starship has delivered the supplies, it will leave after the meeting. The next time it comes, it will be a month later."

"I will leave later." Lan Yu sighed unconsciously, then turned to look at Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao was also looking at him, and after meeting his eyes, he immediately moved away.

A bit of surprise arose in Lan Yu's heart. Whether it was now or usual, Liu Zhao always looked at himself intentionally or unintentionally, and sometimes deliberately said a few words.

"Officer Liu, do you know me?" he asked abruptly.

Liu Zhao was stunned, and replied: "Captain K, I don't know you."

"Then you..." Lan Yu didn't finish the rest of her words, but Liu Zhao reacted instantly and understood what he meant.

After a moment of silence, he spoke with a little difficulty, as if he was thinking of words, "The night when Xu was killed, when I passed the Black Crow Bar, didn't I bump into someone?"

"Yeah..." Lan Yu remembered what he said. Between the black crow bar and Xu's residence, he almost collided with a man in a trench coat.

"When I saw Xu, he had just been shot, no more than five minutes at most. And apart from the windbreaker who ran into, I didn't meet anyone else along the way."

Lan Yu had a vaguely bad feeling about the next words.

Sure enough, Liu Zhao glanced at him, then hesitated and said: "When you first arrived in prison, I found your back and profile look very similar to that person."

Lu Rankong couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say you didn't see that person's face clearly?"

"Yeah, because I didn't care about it at the time, it was difficult to find that person later. I couldn't describe his appearance at all. I found an acquaintance to adjust the monitoring later. Many of the monitoring in that period were bad, and the only thing left was In the next paragraph, I can't see my face clearly with my head down. It's just that when I saw K, I felt that he and that person should be very similar." Liu Zhao said.

He saw that Lan Yu had no expression, but Lu Rankong's face was faintly difficult to look, so he added: "But the moment I saw the gun in Xu, my mind was empty, and I didn't even bother to go up and see if there were any more nearby. No one else, even forgot to search for that building. If the murderer is hiding somewhere, he might leave afterwards."

Officer Liu lowered his head regretfully, raised his eyes after a moment, and asked hopefully: "Colonel K, was it you that I met that night? Were you in Sassu Star at that time? If so, did you have anything at that time? Find?"

In July of last year, Lan Yu didn't wear it at all at that time, so he couldn't tell whether he was there or not. He just said vaguely: "I don't remember..."

"Indeed, what happened last year, even if I met you at the time, it is probably passing by. It is normal not to remember." Liu Zhao smiled bitterly, and the voice sounded very low.

In an instant he regained his energy, and then started the topic: "Let me think about what I was doing on April 13th."

After speaking, open the terminal in hand and check the memo inside.

"There will be a prison meeting on March 20th... On March 28th, a colleague asked for leave. I will replace the class... On April 10th the prison will start learning..." Liu Zhao quickly moved up the virtual screen and muttered. .

"April thirteenth, April thirteenth, I should be on vacation that day." He went to the desk in front of the window and looked through the work schedule inside. "Let me see what happened that day."

Pulling out the work schedule, he began to look at the window, and the shadow fell on the curtains.

Lu Rankong was about to remind him to step back to the window when he heard a gunshot bang outside. The window glass shattered at the same time, and the curtains flicked slightly.

Lu Rankong leaped to the window when he heard the gunshots, squatted behind the wall and lifted the corner of the curtain to look out. Liu Zhao also squatted down.

After waiting for a few seconds, the gunfire did not ring again, and Lu Rankong asked, "Is it okay?"

"It's okay..." Lan Yu also squatted and rushed to the other side of the window to look out.

"Where is Officer Liu?" Lu Rankong asked.

Liu Zhao didn't reply.

Lan Yu turned around quickly and saw Liu Zhao kneeling on the ground, slowly spreading his hands covering his chest.

The palm was blood red, and on the clothes on the chest, there were traces of dark colors spreading rapidly.

Then, he slowly fell to the ground.

With his consciousness drifting, Liu Zhao felt that he had stepped on the cramped iron escalator. He carried his luggage and looked at it as he walked, and stopped in front of a door.

The mottled painted door, there is a scratch on the handle, everything is familiar.

He found that the door of the room was not closed, revealing the sweet voice of the news anchor, and the soft sound of the teacup crashing when it fell on the coffee table.

He couldn't breathe, shaking his hands and pushed the door open.

The floor lamp emits orange light in the corner, and the whole room is bright and warm.

There was a man sitting on the old sofa, turning his head to look at him for the first time, first with an incredible face, and then laughing.

-Eyes bend from the end of the eyes, full of surprises.

"thread…"

Liu Zhao's face was pressed against the cold floor, showing a faint smile.

The author has something to say: Liu Zhao will not die.
