Chapter 42 stalking
This is a rare bright night in the Roman colonial star. Two moons hang diagonally on the vast and deep dome, reflecting each other, pouring water-like blurred light.
Di Changli's mood is not as cheerful as the weather, and he is inexplicably a little restless.
After separating from Tracy, Di Changli decided that he must go to Neve once to sort out the relationship between the two. After all, if it goes on like this ambiguity, it will not only be a complete emotional torture for Neve, but also make him feel ashamed of morality.
Naturally, Neve would not refuse Di Changli's invitation. The two soon met at the agreed place. It was an elegant but not remote area, which was very suitable for walking and talking.
In fact, this is also a very famous lover's road. Couples who are intimately hugged on the street can reach out and catch a lot. Basically, they whisper as if no one else and do some hidden actions that are not suitable for children. Even every breath of air it seems to make people's blood pressure rise and accelerate their heartbeat.
The surrounding environment makes the distance between Di Changli and Neve much closer than when they got along with each other, and it looks the same as the couples who pass by with sweet words.
Di Changli invited herself here, which made Neve a little surprised and happy. She had a hunch that there would be some changes between herself and Di Changli tonight. Neve has been looking forward to this change for a long time. Even if Di Changli disappeared for several years, she did not give up hope and stubbornly adhered to the feelings that made others look unreasonable. At the same time, he is vaguely afraid that the result of change is the side he does not want to face. She also felt that Di Changli seemed to have some concerns and had been deliberately inhibiting the progress of their relationship.
Although the result was unpredictable, Di Changli chose such a place to meet today, which made Neve much more at ease. She has been thinking about whether she should remain reserved and accept it at the next moment after Di Changli pours out his feelings to herself, or express her joy with a warm sweet kiss?
Di Changli was a little nervous at this time. He has never been to this street. The original intention of tonight's appointment is to explain to Neve that they are not suitable to come together, but in this special atmosphere, there is no way to speak at all. Di Changli is by no means a decent gentleman, and he is by no means hypocritical. He wants him to say something hypocritically and doesn't want to delay Neve's youth. For the sake of her greater happiness in the future, it's really hard to say that the two of them still put aside a little bit of the relationship as good.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two seemed to walk through most of the street silently. In the end, Neve summoned up the courage to say first: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
"Yes." Di Changli found that he could not delay any longer. He is a thief who lives in the shadows, and Neve is a soldier. The two are destined to be opposites and natural opponents. If they continue to develop, sooner or later, it will lead to tragedy.
Di Changli took a deep breath and was about to cut the mess quickly, but an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. If Neve can give up her own belief and position and accept his identity as a thief, can they...
"Nif, I want to tell you something." Di Changli said seriously, "I have violated federal laws, which is very serious. Will you arrest me for this?"
"I've had it too." Neve's answer was far from Di Changli's expectation. She said carelessly, "Use her power for personal gain to accept bribes, condone criminals and other behaviors, basically every federal police officer has it. Isn't this a violation of federal law?"
"Why did you say this? Do you have a moral cleanliness fetish? It doesn't look like it." Neve looked at Di Changli with a strange expression and said a little embarrassedly, "If you resist this behavior, I will pay attention to it in the future."
"Uh, no." Di Changli quickly expressed his attitude. The federal government's police salaries and benefits are not high. Although it is not a problem to support themselves, if you want to maintain the use of a family of three, the fixed salary is far from enough. Therefore, various gray proceeds of unknown sources, that is, black money, are the majority of police revenue. The inside story of this is very clear from top to bottom, and there are no effective measures and policies to change. They can only recognize it silently, so Neve doesn't think so.
"I also received black money when I was a policeman, but what I want to say is different from this." Di Changli vaguely revealed, "If my behavior is exposed, I may be tried by the court and become a complete criminal."
"What have you done?" Neve realized the seriousness of what Di Changli said, and her face couldn't help turning a little pale. She grabbed his hand and asked in a trembling voice.
"Please forgive me, I can't tell you." Di Changli stared at her.
Nev immediately reacted. Whether he knew it or not was a watershed. If he knew too much, he had to make a decision. She calmed down for a moment and asked, "So, can you tell me if what you have done is against your conscience?"
Di Changli shook his head and said, "This is not good."
Although Robert's gang of thieves is not a chivalrous thief who robs the rich to help the poor, it is not unprincipled. From the perspective of the bank robbery that Di Changli had experienced before, their thieves acted in a good manner and would never ignore the lives of innocent people. The targets were also those powerful consortia and millionaires. In the end, it was only insurance companies that suffered losses, not to mention any psychological burden.
"Since that's the case, I have nothing to worry about." Neve stared at Di Changli. She knew what he was worried about, and there was a firm light in her eyes. No matter what you have done or what you will do in the future, I believe that you have your own reasons, and I will not ask. I only have one request. Please don't use my love for you to maliciously use me. Can you agree?
A woman who is shrouded in emotional nets, when her sensibility and reason conflict, the former usually prevails. Obviously, Neve is in this situation now. Her unreserved confession moved Di Changli deeply and felt deeply ashamed. As a woman with excellent conditions in all aspects, he is desperate to fight for the feelings he wants when he knows that he may pay an unbearable price in the future. Doesn't he have the courage to fight as a man?
At this moment, Di Changli found that he was actually a coward, but deceived himself and used his hard shell to cover up his weakness... At this moment, Di Changli grew up, and Neve made him understand what the primary essence necessary for a real man was, regardless of rich or poor, regardless of knowledge, or ability. Power has nothing to do with good and evil, but responsibility.
"What are you thinking?" Di Chang's long silence made Neve a little confused.
"I'm thinking, I'm shameless, don't you think?" Di Changli said.
"No, I've never been like this..." Neve was eager to interrupt him.
Di Changli continued to say, "In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a shameless person. At least, he feels comfortable. If the people around him don't care, there is nothing wrong. So, I decided to be more shameless."
Nev was stunned and didn't know what to do.
"Lovely lady, would you mind having an unforgettable night with a cheeky and shameless guy?" Di Changli exposed **'s naked intention in a very serious tone.
Niff wanted to scold him, but she found that she couldn't really get angry. In the end, she could only be angry: "You haven't learned how to respect women at all since you met."
"In fact, I respect you so much that I wasted too much happy time, and I regret it." After letting go of his heart, Di Changli was no longer worried and naturally took Neve into his arms and smiled, "Are you also a little sorry?"
Nif couldn't answer, because her lips were kissed by Di Changli.
This is a warm and almost domineering long kiss. Neve feels that she can't breathe, but the happiness of every cell makes her rather suffocate.
reluctantly pushed away the solid and warm chest as imagined countless times. Neve blushed, gasped slightly hurriedly, gently pinched Di Changli's waist, and said shyly, "This is a public place. You really are."
"Who cares about us?" Di Changli didn't care, put a little force on his hand, hugged Neve tightly, and glanced around casually.
From the perspective of the general environment, their intimacy cannot be compared with the scale shown by other couples, and they really can't attract other people's attention. But... there are always exceptions to everything.
At a glance, a single man with a very ordinary appearance touched Di Changli slightly and looked away as if nothing had happened, as if he was waiting for his female companion while browsing casually. But Di Changli keenly found that the afterglow of the man's eyes was still observing himself and Neve.
"Let's go." Di Changli did not tell Neve about his discovery and walked forward slowly with her in his arms.
Out of the lover's road, Di Changli was sure that the man was following them. The man's stalking skills are quite sophisticated, not far away, and it is extremely inconspicuous in the crowd. If Di Changli hadn't noticed this guy, I'm afraid he would have ignored it.
Who is tracking himself and Neve for what reason? Did something happen to Robert's gang of thieves and was involved? Di Changli quickly changed his mind.
Immediately, Di Changli eliminated this speculation. It is clear that Robert and Sheila are the only ones who are separated from the bottom. They are their proud descendants and do not know that they exist in the gang of thieves. Even if these two people are caught by mistake, there is no reason to confess him. In addition, Di Changli can't think of what attracted the attention of others, so it may be Naif.
Then he walked to a slightly remote section. After observation, Di Changli must have no one else but the man behind him. He stopped and said to Neve, "Wait here, pay attention."
"What are you going to do?" Neve is not sure why.
"Catch an eyeless guy." Di Changli threw down a sentence, turned around and walked generously towards the man.
The man was quite calm. When Di Chang was still about ten meters away from him, he naturally turned aside. When he was blocked by Di Changli, he asked in astonishment, "What's the matter, sir?"
Di Changli ignored his tricks and said directly, "Do you know that even if there is no obvious criminal motive, the federal police will be prosecuted?"
"Are you a policeman?" A trace of astonish flashed in the man's eyes and immediately pleaded, "Following? Sir, I don't understand what you're talking about? I'm just passing by here."
Di Changli was also a little stunned. The man's reaction clearly showed that his target was himself, not Neve. What's going on?
Naturally, you have to figure out what you don't understand. Di Changli took action very simply.
The man's fighting skills are far inferior to those of tracking skills, and he was stunned by Di Changli with little resistance and dragged into the alley beside him.
"What's going on?" Neve, who hurriedly followed, was confused.
"This guy is following us." Di Changli explained concisely, searched the man carefully, and found an electromagnetic gun, several exquisite tools, a small amount of cash, and nothing else to prove his identity.
Di Changli thought for a moment, picked up the electromagnetic gun and looked up and down, raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, this guy turned out to be a private detective."
Niff wondered, "How did you see it?"
"I have dealed with several private detectives, and their standard guns are uniformly issued by the Arms Management Agency, and the first two numbers are the same." Di Changli smiled and said, "A private detective once complained to me that the quality of the weapons forcibly distributed by the Arms Management Agency was too poor, but the price was terrible, so I still have a little impression. And these gadgets are also necessary tools they often use... However, who will be bored and ask a private detective to investigate me?
"What's your name and who entrusted you?"
The man had not yet woken up and covered the back of the beaten neck with one hand. After a moment, his blank eyes were completely focused. Hearing Di Changli's question, the man's face immediately showed surprise. He knew that the other party had figured out his origin, but he still struggled in the end. He pretended to be panic and asked loudly, "I don't know what you're talking about. Aren't you the Federal Police? Why did you attack me for no reason?"
"Okay, don't waste everyone's time anymore." Di Changli interrupted the man's performance and said directly, "I'll give you a chance to honestly say who your employer is. We can treat it as if we have never been in contact with it. Otherwise, I will submit an indictment to the magistrate of the area where your detective office is located... Don't you think that with your specific image, we can't find your identity?"
The man stopped acting. He got up from the ground, patted his clothes and straightened his collar. He said, "Well, I admit, you caught me. Just say what you want. I think I can resist it, and if I can't resist... Can these things be returned to me? Don't worry, my gun is only for self-defense. The entrusted price is not enough to hire me to commit murder.
This guy is a little interesting. Di Changli casually gave him the electromagnetic gun and a few small things and said with a smile, "Well, if someone hires you to commit murder, I don't think your eyesight will probably be too good."
The man also said casually. He didn't expect that Di Changli would return things to himself so readily. He couldn't help but be stunned. After reacting, he put it away quickly, rubbing his hands and laughing, "Sir, such a good hand, I can't play anything in front of you, right? Hey hey, of course, sir is also a cheerful person. Just ask what you want to know. As long as it doesn't violate my professional principles, I will cooperate with you happily.
"That's good." Di Changli said, "I only have one question, who your client is."
The man's face immediately became bitter, and he frowned and said, "Well, it's not easy to do. Sir, you should know that no matter which profession you have to pay attention to credibility. If I disclose the information of the client to you, it is equivalent to smashing my own signboard. In the future, I will not be available for this meal, so I have to ask you to forgive me.
"After I sued you, although it was not enough to stop your business for rectification, how long do you think your business will last?" Di Changli smiled.
Although Di Changli did not explicitly threaten the man, the meaning of the threat in his words was very clear. The man also knows very well that the most important thing in his industry is information. If a private detective with excellent personal ability does not maintain a good relationship with the local police department and obtain the necessary intelligence resources, he may have to close down in a few days. Di Changli's attempt to sue him against the police will certainly make other policemen hate the enemy. They don't have to suppress him, but only cut off his official information channels, and his career will be ruined.
The man's eyes turned bony and said with a bitter face, "Sir, aren't you trying to kill me? Can you change to another condition?
"I gave you a chance. Since you don't need it, there's nothing to say. Go back and get the summons." Di Chang was unmoved and turned around and pulled Neve to prepare to leave.
"Sir, please wait, wait." The man hurriedly chased in front of them and said with a smile, "Sir, everything can be negotiated. For example, if you give me a commission, then as a customer, you should have the right to know something, and it has no impact on my professional ethics, don't you think?"
Dare, this guy is a man who stretched out his hand in the coffin and asked for money. In the case of being choked, he still wanted to get some benefits from it. Di Changli looked at this guy again with a smile and said slowly, "Well, I respect your professional ethics. I will consider working with you if there is a chance. This time, there is no need."
The man is a desperate guy and a sensible person. He can see that Di Changli really ate himself, so his face really collapsed. He dared not bargain any more. He said softly, "Okay, sir, you won, I can satisfy you. Request, but please keep this secret for me.
The messenger was a little surprised by Di Changli. It turned out to be the person he had only met once not long ago, the Joseph he met at Tracy Law Firm. Although Di Changli was a little surprised, he didn't feel surprised when he thought about it. Joseph was obviously a rich and powerful young man who was chasing Tracy. Suddenly, a strong rival appeared. Naturally, he had to pay attention to it. It was not surprising to take a little means to touch the bottom of Di Changli.
To be honest, Di Changli only regards Tracy as his good friend. He has no intention and has no right to ask her how to make friends. If she finds a suitable partner, Di Changli's first reaction must be to sincerely send his blessings. However, the Joseph who hired someone to secretly investigate himself is not on his blessing list. Di Changli was too lazy to pay attention to the so-called Joseph. At the same time, he also decided to remind Tracy that it was better to stay away from this role.
"Sir, I, Carlos, opened a small private detective office on 17th Street, District 8."
"Although the firm is not big, the business level is guaranteed to be first-class, especially if you are good at mining the private life information of celebrities that are not known to the public. In addition, I also undertake some special businesses. Before leaving, the man did not forget to promote the business to Di Changli, avoid Neve, and whispered to him, "For example, if you are interested in the personal small objects used by a female star... Of course, this refers to valuable things such as stockings and underwear. If you want to take them home as a souvenir, then, I assure you that Carlos Private Detective Office will be your best choice, and the price is absolutely excellent.
Di Changli was so ironic that he could only give this guy a word: "Get out of here."
