Chapter 825 Same Name and Surname

The snow outside is falling nicely, and the aroma of tea inside the house is getting stronger.

As six o'clock in the evening arrived on time, the wall where Lan Yu was standing suddenly shook.

Then, the wall became like a sliding door, slowly opening from the back, revealing the small guest room inside.

The two rooms were connected into one with the opening of the wall.

The water vapor on the tea table filled the air, making Li Yi's figure seem unreal.

He was sitting on a futon, shaking the teacup gently, and then drank it in one gulp.

Ji Li walked out of the corner, walked towards the secret room inside, and finally sat across from him.

There were only the two of them in the quiet room, and the tea was still steaming.

After Ji Li lit a cigarette, he put the cigarette case and lighter on the tea table.

One person was drinking tea and the other was smoking. Neither of them spoke immediately.

Outside the foggy window, snowflakes were floating, and they were all enjoying the short and precious tranquility.

Until Li Yi put down the tea bowl, folded his hands on his knees, and said softly:

"congratulations."

Ji Li looked at the man opposite him who looked exactly like him, with only some different features, and asked:

"Congratulate me for what?"

"You got a piece of the puzzle and killed Gu Xingjian."

Li Yi's tone was a little sad. It was obvious that this congratulation was not sincere, or that he had some concerns.

Ji Li looked at him and suddenly realized that this person gave people very different feelings when they met several times.

When we met for the first time, he acted extremely strong and stubborn;

The second time they met, he was a little confused and at a loss on the moat;

But this time when they met, he felt like something was missing and his character had changed.

After a while, Ji Li took another deep breath of cigarette, shook his head and said:

"Gu Xingjian is not dead. It would be too difficult to kill him."

Li Yi poured himself another cup of tea, but did not pick it up. He just said softly:

"The ending of something is as important as the process. You have killed him twice, so you are successful."

Facing Li Yi, Ji Li often felt as if he was seeing another version of himself.

It was as if he and Li Yi were the same person, but on different paths in life.

Thinking again of the question he had been thinking about before, Ji Li hesitated for a moment and then asked bluntly:

"I really want to know, are you on Tianhai's side or on the clerk's side?"

Li Yi's identity and position are extremely important.

Ji Li has a bet with Tian Hai, in which he must consider all the characters that can produce variables.

At present, Gu Xingjian can be roughly determined to be the opposite of Tianhai.

Then Li Yi's position must be understood.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be taboo about this question and did not answer it immediately.

But after thinking about it for a while, he gave a relatively obscure answer:

"I just want to be on my side."

This sentence seems like nonsense, but if you read it carefully, you will find that it actually symbolizes Li Yi's situation, wishes and contradictions.

Ji Li knew that his judgment on Li Yi was accurate.

Li Yi was very conflicted.

His contradiction lies in the conflict between Tianhai's strength and his own will.

"A bird with broken wings fell into a dry well..."

Thinking of Gu Xingjian's wonderful metaphor, Ji Li didn't know how to continue the topic.

Time passed by minute by minute, and more than ten minutes had passed since this secret appointment.

Finally, Ji Li lit a second cigarette and asked:

"What do you think of this mission?"

At this time, Li Yi had already drank all the tea. He picked up the teapot and said casually:

"I don't have any opinion. I came here just to see you."

Ji Li was speechless.

After a while, as the second cigarette burned out, he stood up and walked towards the door.

When he was about to leave, the person behind him suddenly asked:

"What would you do if one day you saw an unacceptable fate?"

"Then make it something I can accept."

The door closed and Ji Li's figure disappeared into the room.

Li Yi sat in front of the tea table, with some inexplicable emotion in his eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

"Why didn't you take action just now? Ji Li was completely defenseless. I can help you kill him at any time.

Do you still want to go back to that little house? To live a life without the sun? "

Facing its questioning, Li Yi quietly repeated that sentence:

"I just want to make it something I can accept..."

…

"Nong Yueke..."

Chang Nian was driving the car while flipping through the documents at hand, and then the cell phone beeped.

She quickly slowed down the car and lit up the screen, which showed the arrival of a new email.

"Ji Li, take a look. This is the list of people with the same name in this city that Yu Guo checked for me."

Ji Li took the phone, browsed it briefly, compared it with the information provided by Lan Yu, and nodded.

"We are looking for the same people as Lan Yu, no problem."

Chang Nian breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know Lan Yu, but she had heard about his behavior. Fortunately, he didn't tamper with the list this time.

At the same time, Ji Li put the phone back to its original position, but did not turn off the screen.

The screen was fixed on a group chat, with messages from strangers constantly popping up on it.

This is a participant in this mission, discussing the object to be investigated.

After Chang Nian accelerated to pass a car in front, he turned his head to look at Ji Li and asked:

"What are we going to do?"

Ji Li looked at the gloomy sky outside the window. The traffic on the road continued to increase, and the evening rush hour had arrived.

"Give them one night, which should be enough to complete the investigation of seventeen Nong Yueke.

We'll wait until they investigate everything before we take action. "

Chang Nian frowned. She didn't understand Ji Li's intentions, but she was sure that the other party had his own ideas, so she asked:

"Then what are we going to do when we get back to the branch?"

Ji Li seemed to have already thought about the follow-up plan and responded neatly:

"Go back and get some handy tools."

…

"Deputy Store Manager Xu, it's useless for you to squat here. Our store manager will be back when the mission is over.

And if he is fine, he will not go out. "

Yitong looked at the young man in front of her with helplessness and persuaded him earnestly.

Xu Nan's name is not as loud as Gu Qingyun and Lan Yu.

This may also be due to the fact that his methods are not as sinister as those two, and he still retains a lot of conscience in his heart.

Yitong had heard about Xu Nan and roughly knew the situation between him and Gu Xingjian, so she still felt a little sympathetic when facing this person.

Xu Nan had been squatting outside the Ninth Branch for two days and two nights, and the blood on his face was as pale as snowflakes.

His already thin body looked even weaker in the past two days.

Yitong did not say it clearly, but in fact, after these words, there should be another sentence:

"You can't kill Gu Xingjian."

But Xu Nan ignored her, looking straight as if he didn't even see her.

He just stared straight at the top of the mountain, where the ninth branch was brightly lit, making his body in the shadows even smaller.

"Deputy Store Manager Xu, I think you should think about how to survive this four-star promotion mission.

If you want to take revenge, you have to save your life. "

Yitong sighed and turned around helplessly, leaving only one last piece of advice.

But Xu Nan was still like a walking zombie, staring at the top of the mountain with bloodshot eyes.

In a daze, a pale and swollen palm appeared, quickly swept away the fallen snow on his shoulder, and then disappeared again.
