Luo Jian took a taxi to Liangcun. It was about 10 kilometers from his pharmaceutical factory to Liangcun. He was afraid that the workers in the factory would know that he had taken a taxi, so he walked out of the pharmaceutical factory as if taking a walk and strolled to a few kilometers away from the pharmaceutical factory. Taxis were stopped a hundred meters away.Ding Ying told him to do this. Luo Jian felt that Ding Ying was making a fuss and being too careful. However, he did as Ding Ying said.

Luo Jian got off the car at Reconquer Street at the entrance of Liangcun Village. The street was full of crowded people and noisy shops; people waiting for their employers stood in groups chatting on the street; women from hair salons waved to passers-by in broad daylight. Jian felt sick when he saw these women wearing heavy makeup.

Ding Ying didn't know what was going on. He couldn't live in a five-star club and wanted to live in this smoky place. In order not to bear the smell, Luo Jian quickened his pace and walked along Alley 12 of Reconquer Street. The alley was very narrow. , less than two meters, motorcycles drive by from time to time, and passers-by have to turn sideways to avoid the motorcycles.

Because there are six or seven-storey rental houses on both sides, the sun can only shine in at noon, so it is jokingly called a line of sky by the citizens.

Luo Jian walked 12 meters into Lane 200, turned a corner, walked to the door of Building 141, and stopped. This was his first time here. Although he was from this city, he only knew Liangcun. He has never come in because he is from Jiangnan District and is not familiar with Liangcun located in the northern suburbs.

He saw a row of doorbell buttons on the door. He pressed 702, and the door lock clicked open. He opened the door and walked in, then closed the door gently. The voice-activated light came on. The stairs were very narrow. When two people met, they had to turn sideways to pass. , there was a faint musty smell permeating the stairs.

He climbed up step by step, his feet stepping on the stairs, making a long echo, and the atmosphere was a bit scary. Of course, Luo Jian did not believe in ghosts and gods. He had experienced bloody storms without a trace of fear.

When he walked to 702, he saw the door was ajar, so he pushed it open and walked in. He only heard Ding Ying say: "Mr. Luo, please take off your shoes."

Luo Jian found that the marble floor was spotless and very clean, as if it had just been mopped.Unexpectedly, Ding Ying only knew how to do things as a servant, and Luo Jian never knew what mopping the floor meant.

After Luo Jin closed the door, he walked to the bedroom. Ding Ying sat in front of his laptop and surfed the Internet. There was a door in the bedroom leading to the rooftop. The rooftop was made of glass and was semi-enclosed. There were many flowers, plants and bonsai planted there, and the winter sunshine The warm light shines on the blooming chrysanthemums, emitting a dazzling light. There is also a small rockery and flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.

Ding Ying was wearing a low-quality jacket, a pair of ugly jeans, and a beard, like a migrant worker. Luo Jian smiled: "Professor Ding, why did you get discharged and return to the field?"

"If you go out wearing a suit worth tens of thousands of dollars, you will be suspicious. How can the people living here wear world-famous clothes?" Ding Ying said sarcastically.

"I really admire Professor Ding's ability to bend and stretch... Didn't you say you have good wine at home? Take it out, let's drink happily and celebrate warmly." Luo Jian originally wanted to bring two bottles of good wine, but Ding Ying told him not to bring it, saying He bought good wine online.

Ding Ying took out the opened dry red wine from the refrigerator, took out two glasses, filled the wine, and handed it to Luo Jian: "This is authentic Bordeaux red wine, purchased from overseas. Come on, cheers!"

"Okay, cheers!" Luo Jian drank half the glass of red wine in one gulp. "It's not satisfying to drink wine while hiding here. It feels shameful and depressing. I really want to go to a five-star hotel with you and have a good drink!"

"After you succeed, I'll invite you to have a drink at the St. Paul winery in California. The red wine there is authentic. Now we must not drink in public... What does this wine taste like?" Ding Ying asked mysteriously.

“The scent of orchids and the taste of roasted sweet potatoes, so good!”

"what colour?"

"The color of violets."

"No, this is the taste and color of blood, the taste of Jiang Zhu and Ma Xiaoli's blood. We are drinking human blood, do you understand?" Ding Ying said seriously.

"Professor Ding, don't say it so horribly, haven't you heard of 'blood stains the pearl' and 'one general's achievements lead to thousands of bones drying up'? In any society and era, the fittest will survive and the weak will eat the strong - this is an eternal truth... Ding Professor, do you regret it?" Luo Jian was slightly startled when he thought of this.

"No, I never regret it, otherwise I would have flown back to the United States... Please give me the information on the next target."

"Okay, but I really want to know: How did you let Jiang Zhu and Ma Xiaoli die in a traffic accident?"

"Mr. Luo, have you forgotten your oath?" Ding Ying suddenly became serious.

"Okay, okay, I just won't ask." Luo Jian noticed that Ding Ying was unhappy and quickly apologized to him. "Don't worry, I will tell you everything via email after I return to the United States, so that you won't blame me for being unloyal." Ding Ying didn't want to offend Luo Jian, so she left him some room to imagine.

"Cheers!" The two cups collided together again, and another life was about to disappear from this world.

Lu Yingying was sitting in front of the computer watching the TV series "Sherlock". Suddenly the mobile phone on the table rang. When she saw it was Xiao Ke, she felt a little scared. Was she going to show up?Today is December 2015, 12. I have a three-day holiday. Is the holiday going to be wasted?
Lu Yingying picked up the phone, slid open the answer button and said, "Brother Ke, what are your instructions?"

"I'm not a leader, so I wouldn't dare give you instructions. Where are you? What are you doing?" Xiao Ke's voice was very gentle, and it didn't sound like he was about to show up.

"Watch Sherlock at home."

"I'm so bored. Let's go have dinner together and then go to Qianjiang Park to watch the fireworks?"

"Well, let me think about it..."

"I heard that tonight's fireworks are particularly bright and spectacular. The city government has raised more than 2000 million yuan to purchase fireworks, setting a new record in previous years." Xiao Ke further encouraged.

"Okay, I'm sure." Lu Yingying smiled cleverly.In fact, she didn't need to think about it. She had long expected Xiao Ke to invite her to play. She was busy with her work in the No. 1 Serious Case Team and was under great pressure. It was difficult to relax.Thinking about myself and the tall and handsome Xiao Ke walking side by side on the street, I don’t know how many people would die with envy, but I feel unparalleled beauty...

She smiled sweetly.

The two of them ate at the "Northeasterner" restaurant on Qianjiangnan Road, and after the meal went to the "Laoshu" cafe for coffee. This cafe was a place Zuo Li often visited because Zuo Li's home was nearby.

Xiao Ke and Zuo Li are comrades in life and death. Although Lu Yingying does not know Zuo Li, since Zuo Li's death, Lu Yingying has taken over Zuo Li's work and knows her deeds and life details well. She wants to return to Zuo Li. The cafe that Li visited back then, in memory of her lost heroic sister-Zuo Li.

The two of them sat in Laoshu Cafe, drinking fragrant coffee, and listened to Xiaoke talking about Zuo Li's various deeds back then.Lu Yingying was very moved, because Zuo Li did not have to sacrifice, but she chose to gamble her life in order to capture Tang Yuan faster, and she died under Tang Yuan's gun...

Time passed quickly, and the two of them spent three hours in the cafe unknowingly. At almost 23:00, Xiao Ke asked the waiter to pay the bill, and they were going to stroll to Qianjiang to watch the New Year's fireworks.

Qianjiang is the largest river in the province. It runs from the west of the city to the east and rushes towards the East China Sea. The original Qianjiang was dirty and smelly. In recent years, the government has invested tens of billions of yuan in comprehensive management of the Qianjiang. The initial results are that the river gradually becomes clearer, and various fish swim happily in the water. A large number of flowers, plants and trees are planted on both sides of the river. It is very beautiful and has been well received by the citizens. Many citizens go to the river to swim. This is the best for the municipal government. Of course.

The two of them walked along the river, and the wind that was not cold blew in their faces, carrying the faint fishy smell of the sea breeze. A drizzle began to fall from the sky, falling gently like dandelions, floating on people's faces, making it a little itchy.The bright neon lights on both sides of the strait are reflected in the river, creating a dreamlike landscape. Luxurious cruise ships are slowly moving forward on the river, and the laughter of tourists and the sweet sound of whistles are heard. It seems that many people are preparing to celebrate the New Year. Party the night away.

The main fireworks display point is in Qianjiang Park, which is an open park covering an area of ​​more than 200 acres. The park is full of fireworks and lights, and tourists are singing, laughing and in high spirits. There is a disco bar called "Black Cat" next to it. They were playing loud songs, exaggerating the joyful atmosphere and attracting customers.

Couples walked past each other closely, murmuring words of love. A few bold couples hid in dimly lit areas and kissed passionately. Lu Yingying was so frightened that she glanced at Xiao Ke subconsciously, and Xiao Ke looked back at her. , she quickly lowered her head... her expression was shy and cute, Xiao Ke couldn't help but stretched out his right hand to draw her to his side.

远处钟楼的钟声响了，新年读秒倒数开始，游人在高喊着：“——5、4、3、2、1——新年到了——”

With a loud noise, a ball of colorful light rushed into the sky, leaving behind a wisp of gray smoke. A huge flower bloomed in the sky, splitting into countless colorful florets, illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime, and then , more fireworks were lit and rushed into the sky. Colorful fireworks filled the sky, and the sky turned into a sea of ​​light and shadow...

Lu Yingying was stunned. She had never seen such spectacular fireworks before. She had seen fireworks before, but it was with her classmates when she was a student. It was already very far away.

While Xiao Ke and Lu Yingying were intoxicated in the dreamlike mirage, they suddenly heard several screams from the sea of ​​people, and the crowd suddenly became excited: in the night light, sheets of RMB 18 yuan were seen floating down from the [-]-story electronics building. , as if it was raining money, everyone tried their best to squeeze forward, desperately trying to grab the money...
