Lan Shaoqi's company name was novel, unique and unique - at least Lu Zhe didn't know those two characters, and he heard the staff at the front desk say it while waiting for Lan Shaoqi.

Mayfly Media Ltd.

Lu Zhe had a vague impression of the term Mayfly, but knowledge was always his blind spot. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember what Mayfly meant.

This company is located in an office building, which is located in a bustling road. The first to third floors are used for offices. It is neither luxurious nor too plain. The decoration is mainly yellow and white, which looks very bright.Yu Feng greeted Lan Shaoqi in advance, saying that at 09:30 this morning, there would be a policeman named Lu Zhe to check the situation. He politely agreed, as if he didn't realize that he was seriously suspected.

Lu Zhe glanced at the wall clock in the hall, it was almost 09:30.

When the staff at the front desk refilled Lu Zhe's third glass of water, the elevator on the first floor opened with a "ding", and a man walked out of the elevator car, wearing a dark blue suit with a soft expression and calm steps. Zhe stopped in front of him, nodded with a decent smile, and stretched out his hand: "Sorry, some work has been delayed... Hello, Officer Lu."

Lu Zhe stood up, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face. He briefly shook hands with Lan Shaoqi: "Hello, Mr. Lan, just call me Lu Zhe."

"Lu Zhe." Lan Shaoqi read his name again with a smile. The dry words rolled around in his thin lips, inexplicably making people feel a little vivid, and even unexpectedly pleasant to hear, "We were yesterday. Didn't you see it?"

Lu Zhe's eyes wandered over Lan Shaoqi's handsome face, and he lowered his head and pursed his lips with a faint smile: "Yes, it's a coincidence. Shall we find a place to chat?"

Lan Shaoqi glanced at his wristwatch, raised his hand towards the outside of the office building, and said gently: "It's all my fault for being late today, and it just so happens that you're here too, let's have dinner together at noon. I've made an appointment in advance The private room in the Starlight Club happens to be free in the afternoon, so it doesn’t matter what time you want to chat.”

Lu Zhe subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he nodded his head in a mysterious way: "Excuse me."

"It's not in the way." Lan Shaoqi led Lu Zhe to go outside. Today's sun is very warm, especially when it is close to the afternoon, it is warm on the body, like Lan Shaoqi's warm voice, "Lu Zhe, it seems that you are very young, and you went to the police station at a young age, will you be under a lot of pressure?"

"I'm just a little police officer." Lu Zhe said without changing his face, saying the words he had made up with Yu Feng in advance, "I am usually responsible for some trivial matters, and there is no pressure."

Lan Shaoqi smiled politely, and the two crossed the road and walked directly to the clubhouse.Lu Zhe had heard of this Starlight Club. Although the name was commonplace, it was a place favored by bosses for secret talks and a best date place for couples.The environment is elegant, the lighting is superb, the service is full of stars, the sound insulation effect of the package is good, you can't hear what you are doing inside, and the waiters will not bother you deliberately.

Lan Shaoqi saw that he was a frequent visitor to this kind of place. After entering the door, he handed a VIP card to the waiter, then turned his head to look at Lu Zhe, and asked in a gentle voice, "Are there any taboos? What would you like to drink?"

"There are no taboos, just drink water." Lu Zhe said it with integrity.

After getting the answer, Lan Shaoqi turned his head away again, without even taking the menu, he directly reported the names of a few dishes to the waiter in a low voice, then led Lu Zhe up to the second floor, and walked into a small restaurant for two. private room.

To be honest, Lu Zhe wanted to come out as soon as he went in.

He looked at the ambiguous lights and dizzying decorations in the private room with complicated eyes. These things seemed to be prepared for couples. Could it be that the two of them are going to have a serious talk about serious matters surrounded by roses later?

Lan Shaoqi seemed to feel Lu Zhe's embarrassment, and couldn't help smiling: "Sorry, I booked late, and this is the only thing left."

"...It's okay." Lu Zhe moved his Adam's apple, sat down opposite Lan Shaoqi as if nothing had happened, and said with a faint smile, "We're just chatting casually today, don't be too restrained... just treat me as a friend."

Lan Shaoqi pushed the lemonade towards Lu Zhe, and smiled gently: "Speaking of which, I really don't feel any sense of urgency. You look young, good-looking, and wearing casual clothes. If it wasn't for Officer Yu to tell me Having said hello, it's hard to imagine you're a cop, too."

Lu Zhe, who was suddenly blown by rainbow farts, pursed the corners of his mouth, and that vague smile appeared on his face again: "Mr. Lan is over the award, so let's start now, let's talk about yourself first." .Finally, I don’t have any recording equipment with me, so you can say whatever you want.”

As he spoke, he checked his pockets to show his innocence.

Lan Shaoqi frowned: "If you are here to chat as a friend, then would it be an honor for me to get to know you, Lu Zhe?"

The door of the private room was knocked lightly, and the waiter walked in with several exquisite dishes, and after counting them one by one, he walked out lightly and closed the door behind him.

"Of course." Lu Zhe nodded, pretending not to hear the ambiguity in Lan Shaoqi's words, and said solemnly, "It's just a chat."

"I don't need to say more about the name. I am 33 years old, a local, and you have seen the company I opened, Mayfly." Lan Shaoqi put a strip of black pepper beef tenderloin on Lu Zhe's plate with public chopsticks, smiling slightly said, "Their black pepper has a very positive taste, especially when paired with beef tenderloin, it is very fragrant."

After thanking Lu Zhe, he asked, "Does the name Mayfly have any special meaning? For example... you like children very much?"

Lan Shaoqi was slightly taken aback. He didn't know that mayflies were already equivalent to women and children in Lu Zhe's place. He laughed a little after being startled, and explained gently: "I heard that this kind of little bug lives and dies, and its life is so short. Very, but I believe that even if it only has one day of life, it wants to show its life to the maximum, which can be regarded as an incentive for the company."

It turned out to be bugs.

Lu Zhe chewed the beef tenderloin with a little embarrassment. The charred beef tenderloin was biting with a layer of heat. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The slightly spicy feeling that is unpredictable and actually exists is really hard to stop.

Then he took another piece of beef tenderloin with his chopsticks, and continued to ask without changing his face: "What about before? You have a successful career at a young age, so you must have studied well before?"

Lan Shaoqi lowered his head and used the public chopsticks to pick up some other dishes for Lu Zhe, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Before... it was okay, I could barely hover in the middle and upper reaches of the class in elementary school and junior high school, and when I was nervous in high school, I would go with It’s not too late, my brain is not working well.”

"You are too polite." Lu Zhe tactfully declined Lan Shaoqi's chopstick-for-chopstick feeding, and continued the topic, "Where is the university? Are you also in the local area?"

"My university is abroad." Lan Shaoqi smiled helplessly, "I really can't keep up with the high school courses, and I can't get into a good university after studying, so I simply went abroad."

Lu Zhe swallowed the tasty spicy shrimp in his mouth, paused for a while, before he could think about what to ask next, Lan Shaoqi said with a smile, "Where are you, Lu Zhe?"

"...Me." Lu Zhe breathed out lightly, and lied without changing his face or beating his heart, "I lived a very ordinary life, with mediocre grades in elementary school, junior high school and high school, and I finally got into the police academy. , Didn’t you come out for an internship as soon as you graduate?”

"Still talking about education." Lan Shaoqi laughed, "How about talking about something else? For example, have you ever been in a relationship, Lu Zhe?"

Lu Zhe was drinking lemonade, and suddenly he was choked and coughed again and again, and he lost his composure. Lan Shaoqi hurriedly handed over the toilet paper, and seeing Lu Zhe holding a cup in one hand and chopsticks in the other, he simply wiped the corners of his mouth for him.

As soon as the soft toilet paper touched the corner of Lu Che's mouth, he backed away as if he had been electrocuted, silently put down his chopsticks, took the toilet paper, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Lan Shaoqi smiled slightly, pretending that he didn't say anything just now. Seeing that Lu Che had eased up, he said to himself: "I have talked with you a few times, but nothing came of it. I don’t have time to talk about love, and occasionally when I feel lonely, I go out for a trip, and there are still a few dewy marriages.”

"I've never been in a relationship." Lu Zhe said frankly, and cites other topics, "Did Wang Zhuo follow you when you started the company?"

Lan Shaoqi understood that the topic of love made Lu Che embarrassed, so he smiled calmly, and said along with him: "Yes, Uncle Zhuo is one of the first people who followed me. He has been with me since then. Started to be my driver. Uncle Zhuo is a loyal person. He remembers to bring some things to my house during the Chinese New Year. He is usually like a big brother. He tries to help me find a way when there is any difficulty...even if he is beyond his ability things."

Lu Zhe was sensitively aware of the ambiguous information conveyed by Lan Shaoqi's words, but before he could continue to ask, Lan Shaoqi continued: "Lu Zhe, shameless, we agreed to chat casually today. , let’s talk about it again.”

"After all, this is my job." Lu Zhe smiled lightly, "I don't know if you have heard of the fire in the early morning of October [-]?"

Lan Shaoqi nodded: "I read the newspaper."

"I want to know, where were you that night? What were you doing?" Lu Zhe tapped the plate with his chopsticks and made a crisp "ding" sound.

"Is this to check the alibi?" Lan Shaoqi smiled, "I spent the night in this club that day, as for what I did..."

He stood up suddenly, bent slightly to Lu Che, opened and closed his thin lips slightly, and exhaled softly, "...Of course he is a fucker."

"..." Lu Zhe's face changed a little. He subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Lan Shaoqi pressed his shoulder lightly. The latter tilted his head and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, very charming, "Lu Zhe, you said you didn't talk about it?" Having been in love...how about letting me teach you?"

"...No need." Lu Zhe waved his hand away, stood up and said calmly, "Let's end this conversation."

"I'm serious." Lan Shaoqi stood up straight, smiling gracefully, "You really look too good for me, Lu Zhe, I want to chase you."

Lu Zhe curled up his hands slightly by his side, took out a few banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table, and said with a blank expression, "This meal is mine."

After that, he turned and left.As the private room door was closed with a "bang", all the tenderness on Lan Shaoqi's face faded away. Gradually, he lowered his head to smile, smiling so that there was a bit of evil in the corners of his brows and eyes, and then he slowly touched under the table , easily snaps off a stuck recording device.

Lan Shaoqi pressed the play button, and the voices of the two came out very clearly. Because of the radio, the slightly heavy breathing of the two was recorded, especially when he finally confessed to Lu Zhe. Shao Qi could clearly hear Lu Zhe's slightly rapid breathing coming from the recording device.

He turned off the device, played with it with his slender fingers, and slowly put away his smile.
