"Just let it go, let's sleep in the hotel first." Amber Wei said while making the bed.

A few minutes ago, they went out to get their room cards. An Baiwei and Lu Zhe asked for a standard room, and the other three men had no choice but to squeeze into a standard room, while Lin Qingchun enjoyed being alone—there is no triple room in a couple hotel and single room.

No one dared to refute this. After all, if anyone took Lu Zhe away, he would have to report to Amber Wei's office.

Lu Zhe sat on the soft sofa in a daze, his eyes fell on a few small candy-colored boxes on the table as soon as he turned around. Although he didn't know the colorful explanatory text, he knew the contents by looking at the packaging. Uncontrollably, he began to stage a small theater, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt his ears warm up, until Amber poked his head over slightly, only to realize that he had been staring at him for an indefinitely long time.

Lu Zhe felt even more embarrassed, but An Baiwei didn't have this self-awareness, and deliberately squeezed him to sit down, raised his chin at the boxes of small things, and said with a smirk, "Why? Want to use it?"

"...Fart your fart." Lu Che said, poking his neck, "I don't want to."

"It doesn't matter if you don't need that, I don't care." Amber smiled slightly and said yellow accent, but in the next second, Lu Zhe punched his fist on the lower abdomen, and immediately covered his stomach with grinning teeth, "It's very cruel. ..."

Lu Zhe's face was a bit stinky, and he was holding on to the sofa to stand up, but unexpectedly his arm hit a button on the sofa, and something was suddenly propped up under the soft cushion, and then it sank again, and then propped up again. dented...

An Baiwei was sitting next to the lifting cushion, and he couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw it: "You're really good at playing."

Lu Zhe's face turned blue and white. There were two buttons next to the sofa, one red and one yellow. He pressed the red button a few times indiscriminately, and the thing immediately went up and down faster. Amber couldn't help but burst into tears. A foul language: "Damn it... it's so cool to look at."

"...shut up." Lu Zhe's ears were about to turn purple, he pursed his lips tightly, and poked the yellow button a few more times, causing the whole sofa to vibrate.An Baiwei clicked his tongue in surprise, and stood up from the sofa: "I said why you all stood up just now, the vibration is a bit strong... Not bad, not bad, I like it."

"I like you!" Lu Che was almost dizzy from the rage of the broken sofa, he pressed the two buttons back and forth angrily, until he was about to cry in anger at the end, Amber held back a smile and came over , put his arm around his shoulder, "The timing is good, how about giving it a try?"

Lu Zhe shook his shoulders to shake him away, and sullenly went to sit by the bed.

An Baiwei suppressed a smile and looked at the instructions posted next to the button, turned off the mechanism of the sofa a few times, looked up at Lu Che, the little wolf cub was still sitting there with a defiled look, as if he had been stricken by the sky. It seems like a big grievance, but in fact, it's just that I don't know how to play with these sex toys.

"Have you ever been to Shoumin Mountain?" An Baiwei casually touched a small box, chatting with Lu Zhe while admiring it.

When Lu Zhe saw that he was holding the thing that was about to commit a crime, he felt uncomfortable all over, so he simply turned his head away from him: "I haven't been there."

"How about going with me? I'll show you the simple folk customs in the mountains." An Baiwei read it several times, lamenting in his heart that this thing is not needed for the time being, so he reluctantly put it down and glanced at Lu Zhe. , "Maybe we can find some baby clues."

"..." Lu Zhe hesitated, "Don't we need to keep one of us here watching?"

"Do you think they are those team members back then? Do you still need the captain to watch over the work?" Amber smiled confidently, "Don't worry, they are not children, they know what to do and what to check, and we can't go there A few days."

Lu Zhe lowered his head to play with his fingers, and asked softly, "If the murderer is caught in the end, is it still the same as before?"

"Lu Zhe." An Baiwei smiled helplessly, "We are members of the Joint Criminal Department. Since the higher-ups transferred the case to our team, it means that we have to perform the obligations of the Joint Criminal Department."

"Can't the murderer be handed over to Yu Feng?" Lu Zhe asked in a low voice.

"No." Amber was decisive. Seeing Lu Zhe's disappointed expression, he said softly, "Don't forget, we are not the police, we are only responsible for—"

He raised his hand and gently wiped his neck.

"—Cut the weeds and roots."

……

Shoumin Mountain is located in a remote area with a high latitude and is hidden deep in the mountains. When Lu Zhe got off the train, he was shivering from the cold, and it was already white outside the station.

It's snowing.

An Bai swiped his phone a few times: "Let's hurry up, it takes two hours to drive to the mountain from here, and after getting off the bus, you have to walk for more than an hour to enter the Shoumin mountain area. I'm almost unlucky, the way into the mountain It was covered by snow, and we had to walk across from here."

The train station is small and dilapidated, but it doesn't prevent the drivers who are looking for passengers outside from yelling. As soon as they see someone coming out, they immediately greet them and ask in a strong local Mandarin: "You two are traveling or visiting relatives? Going to the city Fifty into the mountain, two hundred."

Amber turned his head slightly and asked another driver next to him: "How much are you soliciting?"

The driver looked naive, his fleshy face was flushed from the cold, and he smiled inarticulately: "Same money, same money, not much money."

"Let's go into the mountain." An Baiwei looked at him with a good face, turned his head and ordered his car, the fat driver smiled so much that his small eyes almost disappeared, he welcomed the two into the car, put them into the cab, and started the car The side of the car said vaguely, "If it's later, we won't do it anymore. We'll take the car home and go to sleep. Look at the snow, it won't stop for a few days, so you're lucky. Those who are on the next train, we will not pull into the mountains, the snow will not stop, and it will fall heavily, and our cars will have to be abandoned in the snow, losing money...Which mountain are you going to? "

"North, Shoumin mountain area." An Baiwei was kind, "Master, if the snow blocks the road in a few days, how can we come back?"

"What do you think is good? Come back? It would be nice to stay in the mountains! Especially Shoumin, the poorest village in our village. The conditions there are not good. After I put you down, you You have to walk a long way to get there, and if you want to get out of the mountain, you have to wait for the snow to melt and the road to be easy to walk before there will be a car to pick you up." The driver lit a cigarette, and the smoke drifted to the back seat, and Lu Zhe looked at it. She gave Amber a slight glance, and spread her hands on his lap.

Amber smiled slightly, took a cigarette out of his trouser pocket, put it in Lu Zhe's palm, and continued chatting with the driver: "Shoumin Mountain is so poor, how can those strong laborers marry wives? Marriage in one village?"

"Look at what you said, young people who are still staying in Shoumin, they all ran out to make a living, and only the elderly and children were left at home, and some older children were also taken away by their parents. , it almost became a ghost village, and how many families are willing to stay there! It’s nothing more than a few nostalgic old people.” The driver shook his head again and again, “I haven’t been to Shoumin for a few days, I guess the people who moved there should be about the same , there are at most a dozen families left, almost as many old people and children, and no young girls, let alone married people... There has been no married people in Shoumin Village for several years."

Amber nodded slightly: "Then according to what you said, how do the children living in Shoumin Mountain go to school?"

"Don't even mention that in our area, Shoumin Village provides good benefits to the teaching teachers. The village committee loves the children. Every year, there will be teaching teachers to teach the children. Some teachers from families with difficulties, he is willing to come here , The conditions are not good, it’s okay, at least I have money to take.” The driver took a deep breath, “The villagers in Shoumin Village are very hospitable and treat teachers very well, and the children also like to go to class. It's just that Shoumin is a small place, and there is only one quota per year, and there is no place to live if there are any more."

"Do you know who the teacher who came to teach this year is?" Amber asked calmly.

"I don't know. The teachers are different every year. I can't remember them all."

The car was staggering on the rugged mountain road, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The driver seemed to be used to this kind of scene, driving the car with a cigarette in his mouth and humming. About two hours later, he stopped at the end of a road. It was a simple parking lot. The short street lamps were dim yellow, as if they could be blown away at any time. There were a few scattered cars on both sides of the road. Cars have four wheels, three wheels, and two wheels.

An Baiwei settled the driver's bill and asked him which way to go now. The driver was also a real person and didn't let An Baiwei and the two go to the mountain to die now. He suggested sincerely: "It's so dark, you outsiders must I can't find the way, there is a small guest house behind this parking lot, you can stay overnight first, and then go on your way tomorrow morning, the uncle of the guest house knows how to get to Shoumin."

"Thank you, Master." Amber thanked him slightly.

The driver beckoned, lit the 200 yuan in his hand with the lights in the car, grinned immediately, put his legs on the co-pilot and was ready to sleep.

An Bai opened the car door against the wind and snow, and pulled Lu Zhe out by the way. The snow here has reached his ankles, and the wind is blowing, blowing on his face like fine needles piercing layer by layer. of.An Baiwei tied a scarf on Lu Zhe by the weak light on the side of the road, and led him to the back of the parking lot. Just after passing two snow-painted tricycles, he saw two people arguing next to the car in front. The light flickered around, making people dizzy.

As they got closer, An Baiwei heard a few key words: heavy snow blocked the road, Shoumin.

He stopped, pulled Lu Zhe and walked over, heaved a few breaths, and asked familiarly, "Brother, what are you doing here in the cold?"

The unshaven man who was holding on to the car door impatiently pushed the chattering person in front of him, and then complained to An Baiwei: "This person insists on asking me to pull him out of the mountain on such a day, little brother, what do you two do?" Tell me, is it wrong for me not to pull him?"

Before An Bowei had time to say a word, the man got into the car, slammed the door, and locked all four doors by the way, no matter how much the man outside the car pulled him, he remained indifferent.

Later, the man who asked to come out of the mountain had no choice but to sit down on the ground suddenly and burst into tears, which really shocked both An Baiwei and Lu Zhe.

The man in the car lowered the window irritably: "Little brother, you two don't care about him, he is that idiot from Shoumin Village...Let him go on tormenting! A few lives are not enough!"

People from Shoumin Village.

These few words touched An Baiwei's nerves, no matter if they were fools or not, someone took them to find Shoumin Mountain.

So he smiled at the man in the car: "It's okay, brother, we are enthusiastic."

Lu Zhefu came to help An Baiwei with all his heart to help the man who was called a fool. The two of them pulled him from the front and pushed him from the back. When it was completely dark, they finally pushed him into the guest house.

Amber slightly rubbed Frozen Wood's hands, knocked on the wooden platform in front of him, and was about to wake up the gatekeeper who was dozing behind the wooden platform: "Master, sir! Let's stay!"
