Chuanshan

A round of hazy last quarter moon hangs quietly in the night sky, and the traffic flow of people on the ground shows the prosperity of the city. On the highest terrace in Pinglu City, Yan Lan is leaning against the railing to smoke.

Qiao Chen walked up to him with a glass of juice, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"What can I think about?" Yan Lan chuckled, "The case is closed, there is nothing to think about."

Qiao Chen asked, "Did you tell Deputy Director Liu about the monitoring?"

"I said it, but there was no response."

"No response?" Qiao Chen tilted his head to look at Yan Lan, "What does no response mean?"

Yan Lan blew a smoke ring into the night sky: "It's as if this incident didn't happen when I came back from the meeting of the provincial department. Whenever I mentioned this incident, he hid away. He simply didn't see anyone these days."

Qiao Chen frowned slightly: "This matter is so strange, Deputy Director Liu has such an attitude? Is he planning to fool around until he retires and everything will be fine?"

"Everyone has selfish intentions!" Yan Lan sighed, "Do you still remember the little policeman who ran over to introduce himself when we found Duan Zhuo in Jianhai?"

Qiao Chen recalled it for a while, and said uncertainly: "That... the one who has been in touch with Fatty since then? What is it called... what source?"

"Liu Qingyuan."

"Liu..." Qiao Chen blinked, "Isn't it?"

Yan Lan nodded: "That's right. However, Deputy Bureau Liu himself only found out that Liu Qingyuan was assigned to the Western District Bureau at the scene."

Qiao Chen gave a "tsk" and said, "He doesn't care about his son so much, he's really not a good father."

"That's not bad, at least he didn't abandon his wife and children."

Qiao Chen patted Yan Lan's shoulder: "You're here again. Your father didn't leave you alone, after all these years he..."

"Stop!" Yan Lan hurriedly stopped Qiao Chen, "You keep mentioning him for nothing recently, did he say something to you again?"

"I can't see him." Qiao Chen lowered his voice, "I just don't want to see your relationship with him so rigid, you have this job yourself now, and you know that we don't care about anything when we are busy. No, it's normal not to go home for ten days and a half months, you should understand him even more if you inherit your father's career."

Yan Lan stubbed out the cigarette: "Stop talking, it's annoying."

Pang Guanglong swayed to the door with a plate, leaned against the glass door and shouted: "Boss! Deputy Qiao! Why are you two so tired! Isn't that big double bed enough for you guys? Don't let us eat dog food now!" okay?"

Yan Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "What do we two have for you to eat dog food, and we don't hug each other, so we can't even shut your mouth when we eat!"

Qiao Chen pointed at Pang Guanglong and said, "Pang Guanglong! If I can't find a girlfriend, I'll depend on you!"

Lin Huan, who was in the house, heard this, and said gossipingly: "Hey, Xiao Su, and Bai Bai, you don't know that Vice President Qiao originally had a fling with a policewoman in the archives a few years ago, but our Fat guy was drunk and told people that the boss would be jealous. In fact, everyone familiar with him knew it was a joke, but the new policewoman didn’t know it, and her attitude towards Deputy Qiao changed drastically. Later I asked her, she thought that Deputy Qiao It's a dead gay who cheated on marriage. I explained it for a long time, and Fatty also apologized to the policewoman to explain the situation, and they believed that it was just a joke. I thought it was over, but it didn't take long to show up. The suspect threatened with a knife, the boss pushed Deputy Qiao away, and was slashed on the arm by the suspect. The blood sprayed far away. The boss was sent to the hospital, and Deputy Qiao escorted the suspect back to the bureau with blood on his body. The policewoman thought that Deputy Qiao was injured, and was quite worried, but when she heard the ins and outs, it was over, and she couldn't believe that the boss and Deputy Qiao had nothing to do with each other.

"Then what happened next?" Bai Ze asked.

"Later she fell in love with a technician from the technical detective next door." Yan Lan walked into the room at this moment, raised her hand and pressed Lin Huan's head, "You can just gossip, this matter must be let the people in the overall situation all know?"

"Then it's true that you blocked the knife!" Lin Huan pulled Yan Lan's hand away, "Boss, why did you block that?"

"Nonsense, I'll go with anyone else." Yan Lan subconsciously looked at Su Xing who was sitting beside him. Su Xing didn't say anything about the story, and still lowered his head to eat quietly.

Yan Lan picked up the cup and knocked it on the table, and said, "The floating corpse case was solved in five days. Everyone has worked hard. I will drive you back in a while. You can eat and drink as you please, and I'll give you some fruit juice."

"Thank you Team Yan!"

"Long live the boss!"

After Yan Lan finished drinking the drink in her cup, she waved to the side, and the waiter immediately delivered the second round of hot dishes.Pang Guanglong stared straight at the waiter's hand until the last plate landed on the table, and he said, "Hey...where is the roast chicken I've been thinking about?"

The waiter glanced at Yan Lan, and Yan Lan said, "I'll order it for you next time. Today's kitchen ran out of chicken."

"Damn! Boss! Don't you have all the kitchen preparations for a restaurant as big as yours?"

"Do you have an opinion?" Yan Lan stretched out a hand, "If you have an opinion, pay the money, 1888 per person does not include drinks, and I will serve you after you pay the money."

"No objection!" Pang Guanglong immediately picked up a chopstick of food, "It's not too bad to eat ready-made rice! Eat!"

Qiao Chen whispered to Yan Lan at the side, "Is it because Su Xing doesn't eat chicken?"

Yan Lan was stunned for a moment, put down her chopsticks and looked at Qiao Chen: "What do you belong to? How do you know everything?"

Qiao Chen chuckled, raised his hand to fill Yan Lan's drink, and said in a low voice, "If you continue to double-standard like this, everyone in the team will know about it. Keep it up, and make sure that people have that intention before you talk about it." .In case someone is honest, you will pay the wrong price again for your true feelings.”

"I didn't mean that."

"Don't explain." Qiao Chen said, "An explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth. Ask yourself, is there really no meaning at all? Are you creating an opportunity for Sun Mingrui to chase Lin Huan today, and let him take along with you by the way?" Su Xing came out to cover, or to create opportunities for Sun Mingrui in order to bring Su Xing to dinner?"

"you……"

Lin Huan said quietly: "Look, look, come again! Talking small things in front of everyone, no wonder people misunderstand you!"

Qiao Chen smiled and said, "Why do I feel so sour! Ms. Lin Huan, you are going to be drowned in vinegar."

Lin Huan poked his neck and said, "Where am I so sore? Why am I so sore? I don't like you!"

"Well...you like our boss. It's a pity that our boss doesn't like you. You, you have paid the wrong way with your true feelings!" Qiao Chen gave Yan Lan a meaningful look.

Lin Huan rolled his eyes: "Pay attention to the tense! I liked it! It's not the present continuous tense! Who didn't like a few when they were young... Ah no, who hasn't been a face dog when they were young."

Yan Lan knocked on the table: "Let's eat, why are there so many nonsense."

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere on the table gradually heated up, and even Su Xing occasionally participated in everyone's conversations. Seeing this, Yan Lan was relieved, and he sneaked out to smoke while everyone was not paying attention.

"Team Yan."

Yan Lan turned around when she heard the voice, quickly extinguished the cigarette in her hand, took two steps back and said, "Why did you come out?"

Su Xing stood still and said, "I'm here to thank you."

"You're so polite again, they say you don't use honorific titles anymore." Yan Lan raised her hand to drive away the smoke around her.

"I'm used to it." Su Xing said with a smile, "It's okay, Dui Yan, this level of smoke doesn't affect me."

Yan Lan: "Be careful."

Su walked to the railing, stood five steps away from Yan Lan, and said softly, "Actually, I can eat chicken."

"I know." Yan Lan said, "That day in the car, if I hadn't exchanged it with you, you would have eaten that chicken burger."

Su Xing lowered his head: "Captain Yan...do you think I'm particularly troublesome?"

"No." Yan Lan gave an affirmative answer, "If you are troublesome like this, then no one can be called easy-going."

The two were silent for a while, before Su Xing said in a low voice: "The last meal my mother cooked for me was Kung Pao Chicken. I don't eat much chicken these years because I don't want to forget the taste. To be honest, if there were no photos , I almost forgot what she looked like, but that taste has always been in my heart."

"I didn't mean to ask you that."

Su Xing smiled: "I want to tell you."

"No need to do this. Su Xing, there is no other meaning in asking you to come out for dinner. When you arrived at the criminal department, we were busy with a case, so we owe you a welcome meal. You are the apprentice of Mr. Wang, and you and the forensic office Other forensic doctors are different, we all regard you as our own in our hearts. As for you, you can be more casual in the future. If you want to come out with us, you can come out. If you still want to be alone, don’t come. No one will have any opinions on you. Nothing will happen to you."

"I see, thank you Captain Yan."

"You, when can you be less polite to me." Yan Lan said.

Su Xing hesitated and said, "I... I am not a criminal investigator either."

"Look at Sun Mingrui, he regards our team as his own." Yan Lan pointed at Sun Mingrui in the room with his chin, "His office is on the second floor, and he runs downstairs every day when he has nothing to do. He is also in your forensic room."

"Does Captain Yan not mind?"

Yan Lan looked at Su Xing meaningfully: "Excuse me, mind if you always treat me as an outsider, we have solved a big case together, and I also know some things about you, you even wore my clothes I don't mind being so tight."

Su Xing smiled and said, "I have returned all the clothes."

"When do you put away your pajamas?"

Su Xing thought for a while and said, "Then I'll just accept it."

"Really?"

Su Xing nodded.

Yan Lan said: "The clothes are in my car, I will take them home later."

"Okay. Thank you Team Yan."

I don't know if it was because of drinking, but Yan Lan felt that Su Xing was a little more at ease than usual, and his smile was a little more sincere.He glanced at the room and said, "Go back first, or they will talk nonsense again in a while."

"Well, Captain Yan, you should smoke less."

"it is good."

When Yan Lan returned to the room, everyone was almost drunk. He pointed at the scattered people and said, "Look at how promising you are, how many drinks are you going to do?"

Pang Guanglong shook his wine glass: "The wine is delicious...the food is delicious..."

Yan Lan shook her head helplessly: "Okay, you, your mouth can't keep up with your brain, stop drinking, and I'll take you home."

Lin Huan stood up and asked, "Boss, which ones do you bring?"

"Bai Ze, Qiao Chen and Su Xing are mine, and you take the rest away."

"No problem." Lin Huan pushed Sun Mingrui next to him, "Help me lift the fat boy down."

Sun Mingrui followed Lin Huan and carried Pang Guanglong out.Qiao Chen staggered and jumped on Su Xing: "Su, let's go! Let's go home with the boss!"

"Go back to your uncle!" Yan Lan greeted, "Bai, take care of our old lady, don't let him bother you, I'll drive."

Yan Lan drove Bai Ze back to the bureau first, and then sent Su Xing to the entrance of Wanming Park. After watching Su Xing leave, he pushed Qiao Chen: "Don't pretend!"

Qiao Chen sat up straight and said, "In the past few days, you even know where he lives, and you even give him things. You really care."

Yan Lan: "You're almost done, let's get down to business."

Qiao Chen put away his drunken state and said very soberly: "Just now Fatty said that Zeng Cheng and his subordinates have a serious clique, and it seems that there is some secret. If Fatty is not exaggerating, then Zeng Cheng and his clique are not It's the so-called standing in line, but there are obviously conflicts of interest. Deputy Director Liu will retreat to the second line in February next year, and now there are only seven months left when he is full of fights, but there is no news about who will take over. It was airborne from another place, and there is no confirmation until now, and Deputy Director Liu has not reported his successor intention to the provincial department, which is unusual in itself."

"What do you want to say?"

Qiao Chen thought for a while, and said, "For the time being, the Criminal Bureau is not counted. Under Deputy Director Liu, our criminal investigation is a school of its own. The anti-narcotics, technical investigation, and economic investigation are getting closer. Now they want to push Lao Li from the technical investigation. Go up to pick up Deputy Liu's class. Once they succeed, they will be completely tied together, and we will not be able to handle the case smoothly. In addition, Zeng Cheng has an unusual relationship with the anti-drug veteran. They have been called brothers for so many years. If you go up It's their people, didn't Zeng Cheng just follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven? Fatty said that Liu Qingyuan is very popular in the Western District Bureau. I suspect that Zeng Cheng is deliberately wooing them. At this time, they are pulling Liu Qingyuan. I always feel that it is a bit unreasonable It's awkward."

"It's awkward because you think too much." Yan Lan said, "Deputy Bureau Liu doesn't care about his son anymore, and they both go back to the same home. Do you think Deputy Bureau Liu will ignore Liu Qingyuan after he knows that Liu Qingyuan is under Zeng Cheng's hands?" ?"

Qiao Chen rubbed his temples and said, "Based on what you're saying, Deputy Director Liu doesn't seem to be selfish. Do you think there's something big going on up there?"

"It doesn't matter to me what is brewing."

Qiao Chen disagreed: "Then what if Lao Li goes up?"

Yan Lan tapped the steering wheel with her fingers and said, "Don't worry, Lao Li won't get up."

"Why are you so sure?" Qiao Chen leaned over, "There is news, right?"

"I won't tell you!" Yan Lan had a smile on his lips.

Qiao Chen tugged at Yan Lan's arm and said, "Quickly say it!"

"Airborne."

"Who?"

"Wu Weiyang."

"Fuck! Awesome!" Qiao Chen patted Yan Lan, "Don't worry this time!"

"It hurts! You fucking drank too much?! What are you doing so hard!"

Qiao Chen: "I'm so happy for you! That's your father's apprentice, if he really comes, you can really walk away sideways."

Yan Lan stopped the car and scolded with a smile: "Get out! When did I walk across?!"

Qiao Chen glanced outside the car, then immediately unbuckled the seat belt and jumped out of the car: "I'm going back! Drive slowly!"

Three days later, at seven o'clock in the morning, Yan Lan packed up, got into her car, and headed west.

Swish!With a beautiful tail flick, Brabus G800 parked steadily in the parking lot, followed by a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked next to it.Yan Lan got out of the car and walked to the side of Phantom, opened the door, and a hale and hearty old man got out from inside.Yan Lan closed the car door and called softly, "Grandpa."

This old man is Yan Lan's grandfather, Yan Deren.

"Hmph. Do you still know me?"

Yan Lan: "Grandpa, what you said, I was busy a while ago."

"bend over!"

Yan Lan bent down obediently, and then her ears were twisted by Yan Deren: "You bastard! After investigating the case, your uncle's company didn't even say to go upstairs! You have to let him find you! So urgent Do you want to separate yourself from our Yan family? Then change your surname! Go with your father's surname!"

Yan Lan endured the pain and said, "Grandpa, I was wrong. I will go home to eat with you every week when I don't have a case."

Yan Deren: "Be as virtuous as your father! Every day is a case! If you are missing from the police force, the case can't be handled? What's wrong with treating yourself like a god?"

The scene in front of me was a bit weird—a person who was nearly 1.9 meters tall bent over in front of the old man who was only 1.7 meters tall, grinning and listening to the old man's scolding without any resistance.

"Okay, grandpa, my cousin just solved a serial murder case, it's very powerful." Yan Lingjin said while holding Yan Deren's hand, "Cousin is also here to protect everyone. You see, my cousin's ears are red, please let it go." Him."

Only then did Yan Deren let go of his hand.Yan Lingjin and Yan Lingkun supported Yan Deren and walked forward from left to right. Yan Lan rubbed his ears behind them, and then he heard Yan Yao say: "I told you not to go home! Are you being scolded?"

"The old man is in great shape." Yan Lan fanned his ears, trying to cool down his red ears, "This hand is really strong."

Yan Yao took out a bag from the trunk and handed it to Yan Lan, saying, "No matter how good the old man's health is, he's going to be in his [-]s. People of this age... It's one less thing to look at, Lan Lan, as long as you have nothing to do." Go home and be with him."

"I know." Yan Lan took the bag, "Let's go."
