Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 70

"Are you going to that party?"

"Of course." Qiao Xingnian took a deep breath, then exhaled a foul breath, and said with a smile: "It's Team Lin's mother's birthday, of course I want to attend as a friend."

"Then as a friend, can I also participate in Auntie's birthday?"

Seeing Lin Nanyue who was so careful, Qiao Xingnian felt even more uncomfortable, and said, "Is there a need to ask? Of course, I think my mother will be very happy."

Lin Nanyue nodded, and then asked: "What does Auntie like, and what kind of gift should I prepare?"

Qiao Xingnian understood the purpose of Lin Nanyue's question, and said, "Just buy some supplements, my mother doesn't care about them."

Lin Nanyue nodded noncommittally, but what he was thinking about was the first visit, what should I buy?

On the other hand, Qiao Xingnian was thinking that if his mother knew that his precious son was being targeted by a man, he would probably throw Lin Nanyue out with a broom.

"Then what gift should I prepare for the banquet?"

"You don't need to worry about this, I will prepare it, and you can take it with you when the time comes."

Qiao Xingnian was amused for a while, and said, "Captain Lin, do you want me to go there for free?"

"There are a lot of food prepared at the banquet, but few people will actually eat it, so it's better to eat something to fill your stomach before going."

"That's someone else. The purpose of my going is to celebrate my aunt's birthday, and to taste the delicious food at the luxurious banquet. I have to go on an empty stomach, otherwise it would be a loss."

Lin Nanyue was amused for a while, and said, "You are really a foodie."

Seeing Lin Nanyue laughing, Qiao Xingnian also raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Captain Lin, you look better when you smile, don't keep a straight face all day long."

Lin Nanyue looked away uncomfortably when he heard the words, his face blushed, and he said, "Don't make fun of me, I can't possibly compare to you in terms of looks."

Qiao Xingnian already understood the reason for Lin Nanyue's blushing, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Team Lin, the air conditioner is turned on in this room, why are you still so hot, your face is blushing."

Lin Nanyue's face froze, he stood up and said, "It's really hot, I'll go wash my face, and I'll clean it up for you when I get back."

Looking at Lin Nanyue who fled in despair, the corners of Qiao Xingnian's mouth twitched again and again. When he realized it, he couldn't help being dazed for a while, and then whispered with a wry smile: "Maybe I'm also attracted to him. "

This kind of cognition made Qiao Xingnian dumbfounded, but just now he was indeed affected by Lin Nanyue's emotions. When he saw him sad, he would feel distressed, and when he saw him happy, he would laugh along with him. This...it seems, should, maybe Like the feeling of a person.

"I was recruited? Impossible, absolutely impossible! It's probably the sequelae of not being in love for a long time. It's better to find a girlfriend quickly and talk about love, otherwise something will really happen."

Qiao Xingnian got up to pack his things, and his phone vibrated suddenly. He took out his phone and looked at it. It was Wu Hai calling, and he answered the phone without hesitation.

"Boss, save me!"

Looking at the four words on the phone, Qiao Xingnian's heart tightened. Just as he was about to speak, the call was hung up.Qiao Xingnian quickly located Wu Hai, and rushed to the bathroom with his mobile phone, just in time to bump into Lin Nanyue who was going out.

"Captain Lin, something happened to Wu Hai, we have to save him!"

"Okay." There was no nonsense, Lin Nanyue responded directly, and the two walked downstairs quickly.

"Liu Man, I'll go out for a while, and I'll give you a tea party."

"Okay, boss." Seeing Qiao Xingnian's expression was wrong, Liu Man responded directly without asking further questions.

The two got into the car, and Qiao Xingnian looked at the phone's location to guide Lin Nanyue. They drove all the way, and it took only 15 minutes to reach their destination.

Qiao Xingnian looked at his phone, then looked up at the hotel in front of him, and said, "That's right, it's here."

"Let's go in quickly."

The two of them entered the hotel without any delay. When they came to the front desk, Lin Nanyue directly revealed his identity and said, "I'm from the criminal investigation team, and I need your cooperation in the investigation."

Qiao Xingnian called up Wu Hai's photo on his phone and said, "Has this person been here?"

The front desk lady looked carefully, shook her head and said, "Sorry, I haven't seen it before."

Qiao Xingnian frowned, looked at the receptionist and asked again, "This is a matter of human life, you'd better think about it, are you sure you haven't seen it?"

The front desk lady's eyes flickered, but she still shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it before."

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Lin Nanyue and said, "Captain Lin, if someone dies, how many years will you be sentenced for covering up?"

"If the crime of cover-up is serious, the sentence will be between three and ten years in prison. If the victim is violated and does not report it, he will be regarded as an accomplice of the perpetrator."

The lady at the front desk panicked when she heard that, and said, "I... I was also forced, and I haven't done anything bad."

"Tell me, where is the person? If someone is killed, your life will be ruined!"

The lady at the front desk was taken aback, and quickly said, "It's...in room 888 on the eighth floor."

"Give me the room card!"

The front desk lady cried and shook her head, and said, "That is the exclusive suite of our general manager, and only he has a room card."

The two didn't delay any longer after hearing the words, and quickly took the elevator up to the 8th floor.

Qiao Xingnian turned around and walked into the stairwell, then recovered his spirit state, came to the door of Room 888, and said, "Team Lin, wait outside, I'll go in first to see what's going on."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Okay."

Qiao Xingnian walked in through the door and saw that there was no one in the living room. He went straight into the bedroom and found Wu Hai who was being tortured.I saw him naked/naked, tied to a bed, and a black ball was stuffed in his mouth.A man wearing only underwear/underpants was holding a burning white candle, allowing the hot wax to drip drop by drop on Wu Hai's skin, while the man looked at Wu Hai's painful expression with enjoyment.

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian was furious, snatched the candle in his hand, blew it out, and stuffed it directly into his neiku.

"Aw!" With a scream, the man frantically reached out to pick out the candles, and knelt down on the ground with a painful expression on his face. He had no time to think about what was going on.

Qiao Xingnian came to the door of the suite, opened the door, and said, "Captain Lin, Wu Hai is in the bedroom."

Lin Nanyue nodded, and followed Qiao Xingnian to the bedroom door.

Qiao Xingnian suddenly stopped and said, "Wait."

Lin Nanyue was a little surprised. Seeing Qiao Xingnian walk into the room, he immediately understood and frowned slightly.

Although he understood that Qiao Xingnian's actions were reasonable, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

The door was opened, and Lin Nanyue broke in. The man lying beside the bed suddenly came to his senses, looked at Lin Nanyue at the door, and asked loudly, "Who are you? Who let you in?"

Without further ado, Lin Nanyue stepped forward, handcuffed the man, and said, "Lin Nanyue, captain of the criminal investigation team, you are suspected of kidnapping, obscenity, and imprisonment. I will take compulsory measures against you now."

Qiao Xingnian regained his physical state outside the door, came to the bed in two or three steps, looked at Wu Hai with red eyes on the bed, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here, he can't hurt you anymore."

Qiao Xingnian untied Wu Hai's hands and feet, Wu Hai took the ball out of his mouth, hugged Qiao Xingnian tightly, and cried silently.

Qiao Xingnian frowned slightly. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't push him away, and said reassuringly, "It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing this, Lin Nanyue frowned and opened his mouth, but he didn't say much.

"Comrade police, you have misunderstood. We are a couple, just playing adult games, not what you think. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." The man squatting on the ground looked at Wu Hai, his eyes were threatening.

Wu Hai's body froze, and he looked away in fear.

Qiao Xingnian gently pushed him away and asked, "Wu Hai, tell yourself, did he force you, or did you do it voluntarily?"

Wu Hai looked up at Qiao Xingnian, his face was full of fear.

Seeing this, the man continued to say, "Wu Hai, you have to think clearly and speak well."

Lin Nanyue snorted coldly and said, "Threatening the victim in front of me, are you so confident?"

Qiao Xingnian looked directly at Wu Hai and said, "Now the choice is in your hands. Whether you want to continue living without dignity, or find yourself again, it depends on your choice?"

"I..." Wu Hai still couldn't make up his mind, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

"I've said it all, we are a couple and we are playing games, why don't you believe me? Besides, do you have a search warrant, just barge in, be careful and I will sue you for spying on our privacy." The man saw Wu Hai like this , I am sure of the result in my heart, and I am even more confident.

Qiao Xingnian looked at Wu Hai, with disappointment in his bright eyes.

Seeing this, Wu Hai felt even more terrified. He reached out and grabbed Qiao Xingnian's arm, saying, "No, I didn't do it voluntarily. He kidnapped me and tried to rape me. I chose, don't give up on me!"

The man was startled when he heard the words, looked at Wu Hai angrily, and said, "Wu Hai, how dare you frame me! Comrade policeman, don't listen to his nonsense, he just came out to sell it, I spent money, and now he is biting back! Let me take a bite, it's really fucking nothing, don't be fooled by him."

Wu Hai hastily explained, saying: "No, I didn't, you have to believe me, I really didn't! It was he who couldn't get in touch with me, came to the teahouse to block me, followed me all the way home, and tied me here. "

The man became furious when he heard it, and said, "Take me up? Is there any kind of man I want? Do you need to work so hard? It's obviously you who called me, asked me out, and came to the hotel with me. I was wronged! Don't believe him, he is out to sell, and he has been with many men, and they can testify to me."

"No, they forced me, you have to trust me!" Wu Hai looked at Qiao Xingnian anxiously.

Lin Nanyue handed the clothes under the bed to Wu Hai, interrupted their staring, and said, "Put on the clothes first, let's talk to the police."

"Police station?" The anxiety in Wu Hai's eyes intensified, and he said, "I...I don't want to go to the police station."

"If you want to live again, you must face it bravely. The police station is the first step, and it is also a crucial step. You have to let those who bullied you know that you are no longer allowing them to bully them, and then they will restrain themselves. You have the chance to start over."

"But will the police believe me?"

"As long as you tell the truth, the police will definitely help you."

The man was obviously agitated, and said, "You two idiots, you have been cheated by him, he is a bitch, there must be other purposes for doing this."

"Do you believe me?" Wu Hai turned a deaf ear to the man's words and just looked straight at Qiao Xingnian.

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "I believe it."

Wu Hai suddenly smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to the police station."

Lin Nanyue pulled the man out of the bedroom, followed by Qiao Xingnian, and closed the door behind him. The three of them waited for Wu Hai to get dressed and come out.

Lin Nanyue also threw the man's trousers to him and said, "If you don't want to be accused of another crime, just put on the trousers."

The man didn't give up, and while putting on his pants, he said: "Comrade policeman, you are really deceived by him, he is just gay, he was raised by someone since he was a child, and he became more flirtatious when he grew up, changing men is like changing clothes. "

Lin Nanyue frowned, and said, "Since childhood? How young? Who raised him?"

As if realizing that he had slipped his mouth, the man stammered and said, "I've heard it too, but I don't know the specifics. But there is no one in our circle who doesn't know about him. You can go and ask."

Lin Nanyue knew that he was hiding something, but just looking at the man's appearance, he didn't seem to be lying, which made him suspicious of Wu Hai.

He came to Qiao Xingnian's side and whispered, "Do you know Wu Hai?"

Qiao Xingnian looked at the bedroom door and said, "I didn't understand it before, but now I want to understand it."

Lin Nanyue was startled when he heard the words, and then asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Just as Qiao Xingnian was about to speak, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Wu Hai walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian said, "Captain Lin, let's go."

Lin Nanyue glanced at Wu Hai who was beside Qiao Xingnian, pushed the man's shoulder, and said, "Let's go, we'll talk at the police station if we have something to say."

The man gave Wu Hai a vicious look, and was pushed out of the room by Lin Nanyue.

The four of them left the hotel together and drove straight to the nearest police station.With the help of the police on duty, they took photos of Wu Hai and kept the evidence.Because they rushed there in time, the man didn't take the last step towards Wu Hai, so there was no need to go to the hospital.

Ever since he entered the police station, Wu Hai followed Qiao Xingnian step by step, looking terrified and uneasy. Seeing Lin Nanyue frowning, he felt that this Wu Hai was not as simple as he seemed.He tried to communicate with Qiao Xingnian, but Wu Hai followed Qiao Xingnian all the time, and there was no chance at all.

In the reception room, two policemen sat down with them one after another, and said, "Captain Lin, please tell me the specific situation at that time."

Qiao Xingnian and Lin Nanyue looked at each other, and said, "Let me do the talking. Around nine o'clock tonight, I received a distress call from Wu Hai, and he told me to save him. So I located his cell phone, I found Hanshang Hotel, room 8 on the 888th floor, and found him."

"What was the situation then?"

"At that time, Wu Hai's hands and feet were tied and his mouth was gagged. That man was violating him."

The police recorded the facts, turned to look at Wu Hai, and said, "Why are you and Han Chao at the hotel?"

Wu Hai lowered his head, grabbed Qiao Xingnian's clothes with his fingers, and said softly: "I came home from work today and found someone following me. I was very scared, so I went to the mall on purpose, trying to get rid of that person while there were too many people." .I thought I got rid of him, but when I walked to a remote alley, he suddenly rushed out from behind, covered my mouth with a towel, and then I passed out."

"So you're drugged?"

Wu Hai nodded and said, "Yes, if I hadn't been dazed, I wouldn't have been taken to the hotel."

"Since this is the case, let's go and draw your blood for a test first, so as to preserve the evidence."

Wu Hai turned his head to look at Qiao Xingnian, as if he was his backbone.

"Go ahead, preserving the evidence is powerful to you."

"Okay." Hearing what Qiao Xingnian said, Wu Hai nodded in response.

The police took Wu Hai to draw blood again, and Lin Nanyue had a chance to talk with Qiao Xingnian alone.

Lin Nanyue took Qiao Xingnian's arm and said softly, "Xingnian, I always feel that Wu Hai is not that simple. You should pay more attention."

Qiao Xingnian pinched Lin Nanyue's palm and said, "Don't worry, you understand me."

Lin Nanyue was taken aback, although he only squeezed it twice, it managed to make his ears blush, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Well, just to remind you."

Looking at Lin Nanyue's glowing red ears, Qiao Xingnian suddenly felt it was funny, but at the same time thought it was extremely cute.

"cute"?When Qiao Xingnian realized what he was thinking, he couldn't help being stunned on the spot, and then looked back at Lin Nanyue, seeing his blushing, the word "cute" would automatically appear in his mind.

"Well, it was cute."

If the members of the criminal investigation team knew Qiao Xingnian's evaluation of Lin Nanyue, their jaws would drop.

The two stood at the door, in a small place, and they had a brief exchange, they only had each other, and somehow they were drawn into the relationship between them.

"Boss." The appearance of Wu Hai broke the pink atmosphere.

"It's over." Qiao Xingnian also had a smile on his lips, but there was a little less smile in this smile, which was completely different from seeing Lin Nanyue.

"Well, when can we go back?"

Wu Hai approached Qiao Xingnian again, it seemed that only where he was was safe.

Qiao Xingnian looked at the policeman who came out, and asked, "I'll go back after finishing the record."

Wu Hai looked at the crowd and nodded slightly.

Everyone walked towards the reception room again, Wu Hai followed behind Qiao Xingnian, but looked at Lin Nanyue who was walking beside him.

After everyone was seated, the policeman then asked, "What happened after you were fainted?"

Wu Hai held his fingers unconsciously, turned his head to look at Qiao Xingnian, was silent for a while, and said, "Although I took the medicine, I was still in a half-conscious state, that's why I had the opportunity to call the boss Help. But just as I said a word, he found out, he snatched my mobile phone, and then dragged me to the hotel room, and took me..."

Speaking of this, Wu Hai stopped. He lowered his head and pinched his fingers vigorously, leaving a deep mark. After a long while, he spoke again and said, "He took off all my clothes. And tied me to the bed..."

In order to better understand what happened at that time, the police asked more detailed questions. Qiao Xingnian, who was observing, would feel uncomfortable, let alone Wu Hai's feelings.

Wu Hai's emotions broke down, and he roared angrily, "Are you enough? You keep asking me over and over again, what's the difference between you and that scum who molested/molested me?"

The policeman frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said: "We are doing this as a routine questioning, to help you, don't get too excited."

Qiao Xingnian patted Wu Hai's arm and said reassuringly, "Wu Hai, I know you feel uncomfortable, and every time you think about it, you will suffer a lot, but in order to bring that scumbag to justice, and to pay you back One is fair, we must cooperate with the police comrades in their work.”

Wu Hai looked at Qiao Xingnian, his excitement gradually calmed down, and said, "I'm sorry, I...I let you down."

Qiao Xingnian shook his head and said, "You've done a good job."

Seeing this, the policeman asked a few more questions, although Wu Hai couldn't help but answered them one by one.

Afterwards, the police asked them to sign the records one by one, saying, "Okay, you can go back."

Hearing what the police said, Wu Hai's body obviously relaxed.

Qiao Xingnian stood up, thanked him politely, and said, "Thank you, Comrade Police, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"This is what we should do. If necessary, we will find you again. Please keep your mobile phones unblocked."

"Okay. It's getting late, so let's go back first."

"it is good."

The three of them left the police station without further delay and got into Lin Nanyue's car.

Qiao Xingnian, who was used to sitting in the co-pilot before, sat in the back seat this time.

After Wu Hai got into the car, he curled up on the back seat, facing Qiao Xingnian sideways.

"If you are tired, just close your eyes and sleep for a while, and I will call you when the time comes."

"Can I hold your hand?"

Lin Nanyue was always paying attention to the two people in the back seat. When he heard what Wu Hai said, he subconsciously frowned. Looking at Qiao Xingnian through the rearview mirror, he felt a little nervous.

"Sorry, I don't like people touching me very much."

Wu Hai looked at Qiao Xingnian, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips, and said, "Do you think I'm dirty too?"

"I didn't mean that." Qiao Xingnian looked at Wu Hai and said calmly, "Wu Hai, I'm helping you because I don't want to see you fall into a deeper hell because of your cowardice, standing on the side of your colleagues or friends." In terms of position, there is no other purpose, do you understand?"

Wu Hai looked at Qiao Xingnian silently, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Can I grab your clothes? I promise I won't touch you. I'm so tired, really tired."

Qiao Xingnian sighed and said, "Okay."

Wu Hai stretched out his hand and carefully grabbed the corner of Qiao Xingnian's clothes, thanked him softly, and closed his eyes.

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian in the rearview mirror, and felt as if he had overturned the jar of vinegar, it was sour and astringent, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Qiao Xingnian looked up at the rearview mirror, smiled at Lin Nanyue, and said silently, "Team Lin, drive carefully."

Lin Nanyue was startled, and then looked away. He actually understood Qiao Xingnian's meaning.

Repeating Qiao Xingnian's words in his heart, Lin Nanyue couldn't help muttering, "Did he see what I was thinking?"

Lin Nanyue looked up at the rearview mirror again, and found that Qiao Xingnian was looking out the window, as if thinking about something.The car suddenly became quiet, Lin Nanyue looked away and concentrated on driving.

Half an hour later, the car stopped slowly, Lin Nanyue turned to look at Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Here we are."

Qiao Xingnian patted Wu Hai's arm and said, "Wu Hai, wake up, we're here."

Wu Hai opened his eyes, his beautiful phoenix eyes were blank, and he stared blankly at Qiao Xingnian.

"We've arrived at your place." Qiao Xingnian interrupted Wu Hai's daze.

"It's here?" Wu Hai looked out of the window past Qiao Xingnian, as if he finally came to his senses, and said, "We'll be here so soon."

"It's getting late, you go back and have a good rest."

Wu Hai looked at Qiao Xingnian, tightly grasped his clothes, and said, "Can you go up with me? I'm... scared."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Qiao Xingnian got out of the car first, followed by Wu Hai, and Lin Nanyue also turned off the ignition, got up and got out of the car.

Seeing Lin Nanyue closing the car door neatly, Qiao Xingnian raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't intend to stop him, and said, "Let's go."

Wu Hai looked at Lin Nanyue again, and followed Qiao Xingnian into the community.

When the three of them came to the downstairs of the unit building, Wu Hai said again: "Boss, I'm afraid they will retaliate against me. Before you find a new place to live, can you live in my house temporarily? The house I rent is a two-bedroom , I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to stay at home alone."

Before Qiao Xingnian could speak, Lin Nanyue spoke first, and said, "Don't be afraid, I will send someone to protect you 24 hours a day. If you want to move, I happen to have a property vacant. If you want, you can do it anytime." Move in."
