Only you are so different

Chapter 12 All spring flowers are short-lived

Chapter 12 All spring flowers are short-lived

In the next two weeks, life was peaceful and busy. After rushing day and night to print "Sunset", it was finally ready to be put on shelves in online bookstores and physical bookstores.

Su Xiuran has a good reputation, and its quality is guaranteed. The previous pre-sale situation was very good, and it will naturally not be worse after the launch, which has aroused the usual hot reviews.

Seeing that nothing went wrong with the book, and the outside world did not notice the change of editor, Lin Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief.One day after returning home from get off work, for the first time, he brought a bottle of red wine, saying that he wanted to celebrate with Su Xiuran.

Due to his health, Su Xiuran seldom drinks alcohol, and there is no wine in his house, but it doesn't mean he has no research on red wine. When he saw the bottle in Lin Mei's hand, he raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you have spent your money this time. .”

Lin Mei felt pain when she thought of the price of the bottle of wine in her hand, but now she had confidence, patted her chest and said, "It's okay, the book is selling well, and I'm going to receive the bonus soon, just a bottle of wine, you can buy it!" worthy!"

Su Xiuran smiled and raised his glass to toast her: "Cheers to my gold medal editor."

Lin Mei happily drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, such a drink did not have the elegance of a wine tasting at all.

Lin Mei originally thought that Su Xiuran, who was so sad and sick all year round, must not be able to drink well, and if he drank two more glasses, maybe he could see his seductive posture with flushed cheeks and drunken eyes.

In the end, she couldn't bear to think that she drank a cup before eating. She was the first to lose her head and drank one more cup than her. Su Xiuran, who still didn't change his expression, cleaned up the battlefield and dragged her upstairs Tucked into the bathroom of her own room.

The next day, she got up from her bed with her hands on her forehead, only to realize that although some people don't drink often, they still have a natural capacity for alcohol.Then she thought that although Su Xiuran was arrogant and difficult to deal with, but besides herself, no one else seemed to have a chance to throw him down, so she was relieved again, don't rush for a while, take your time, maybe it's a kind of fun?

After she finished her mental preparation and came down from the upstairs full of energy, she saw Su Xiuran and Zhang Yan sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Since the last case was closed, Lin Mei hasn't seen him again, it's been two or three weeks.Seeing her walking down the stairs with a confused face, Zhang Yan laughed, turned around and said to Su Xiuran teasingly: "It's been a few months? You haven't taken it yet?"

Su Xiuran smiled at Lin Mei, turned to look at Zhang Yan, and said pointedly: "It was planned, but she is a little drunk, so it's not good to take advantage of her."

Lin Mei thought to herself, what are your plans?Why didn't I see that you had plans last night?This is definitely to make fun of me with my friends, right?

Police officer Zhang Yan was beaten into the ranks of "husbands and dogs" if he didn't pay attention, and he touched his chin unconsciously: "Speaking of this time, you and Xiao Lin have a lot of time to be alone, seize the opportunity .”

Lin Mei finally caught an opportunity to complain, and immediately threw it out mercilessly: "We usually have many opportunities to be alone at home."

Zhang Yan knew that his slip of the tongue was blocked, but he smiled at her: "You girl won't take any losses."

Lin Mei smiled: "That depends on whose fault it is." After speaking, she looked at Su Xiuran meaningfully.

Su Xiuran, who was watching the show with a smile on the side, realized that he had been turned over, and smiled gently at her: "Then thank you for your humility?"

Lin Mei felt that she had completely recovered her position, and then she smiled with satisfaction: "You're welcome."

When Zhang Yan came here, he handed over a case to Su Xiuran, but he wanted to go to another place to investigate the case. It was not very far away, it was in a relatively remote place on the outskirts of City B.Originally, this case was out of the reach of the district criminal police team, but the reporter reported the case at the branch here, so it was necessary to send someone over there to cooperate with the investigation.

The branch had a lot of business, so Zhang Yan couldn't get away, but the case sounded serious, and he was worried about sending the police alone, so he came to trouble Su Xiuran.

It was Yu Qizhen who Zhang Yan arranged to go with them last time, and it didn't take long for him to come here in a car that was specially maintained and refueled.

It is said to be in the suburbs of city B, but in fact it is a mountainous area in the outer suburbs. It takes two to three hours to drive. If there is a traffic jam in the morning and evening peak hours in the city, it will take no one knows how long it will take.In addition, the mountain road is very unsafe at night, so the local police station arranged a guest house for them in the town where they needed to stay.

Yu Qizhen has a lively personality. Lin Mei sat in the co-pilot and chatted happily with him along the way, and he didn't feel that the road was boring.

On the way, Lin Mei looked at the back seat, and saw Su Xiuran propping his head on his hands, with his eyes slightly closed, resting his mind.

As if he had noticed her gaze, he opened his eyes, raised his jaw and smiled at her slightly.

Yu Qizhen’s car is a police bus. It’s an old model. It doesn’t feel like it’s a problem when you drive it for a short distance in the city. After running for a long distance, and it’s a mountain road, it’s bumpy. The smell of gasoline is quite strong.

Su Xiuran's face turned pale, and Lin Mei couldn't help worrying about whether he would get motion sickness.Fortunately, after passing the winding mountain road with nine twists and eighteen bends, they finally arrived at the town before lunch.

The town has beautiful mountains and clear waters, surrounded by several popular tourist attractions and resorts.

This small town has also thought about developing tourism, but the resources and development cannot keep up. It is still in a semi-closed state, with low self-built houses everywhere, and only one road that can barely be called the main road. There are some commercial stores next to it.

A strange police car arrived, and the eyes of the residents scattered on the street in twos and threes were obviously full of inquiry and curiosity.

Lin Mei has been in City B for several years. Like the village in the city last time, she has never been to this remote town. I have to say that following the police to investigate cases at the grassroots level has gained a lot of knowledge.

It was also the first time for Yu Qizhen to come here. He drove the car into the town police station according to the navigation, and two policemen came out to greet them.

This police station was built many years ago. It is a small two-story building facing south, surrounded by two rows of two-story buildings next to it. Only the side facing the street has no buildings. It is surrounded by a wall, and a small yard in the middle is planted with some holly and Flowers and plants, and a tall and straight tasong.

They were greeted by two male policemen, with higher ranks and older ages. Judging from their rank, they should be the director of the place, and the one next to them was a young policeman.

The director first introduced his surname Gong, and then smiled at them and said: "Why don't you have a light meal first, and then let Xiao Li take you to the guest house. I heard that you are two gay men and one lesbian, so I will book a room for you." It's not inconvenient to take two rooms."

The funds of the grassroots police stations are all tight, so it is naturally difficult for Yu Qizhen to say that it is inconvenient, but it is okay to say it quickly.

Lunch is of course a working meal. Lin Mei thought that Su Xiuran would be picky about the chef's craftsmanship in the cafeteria of the police station, but he didn't expect him to have been smiling silently since he got off the car, looking very kind.

Su Xiuran didn't wear sunglasses today. He was wearing an ordinary-looking white low-necked T-shirt, paired with an equally ordinary-looking light-colored denim jacket, and underneath were darker-colored jeans and sneakers.

This kind of attire is too ordinary for Su Xiuran. You must know that even if he is at home, his clothes are also well-matched.Lin Mei thought that he might have dealt with it in a low-key manner.

Seeing that Lin Mei was staring at him, Su Xiuran smiled a little, turned to her side, and said in a low voice, "Why, do you need me to pick up two pieces of meat for you?"

Lin Mei squinted at the sea bowl he was holding in his hand. It was their lunch at noon today, noodles with fried sauce, and each person added a few extra pieces of braised pork that was very oily.

In fact, the taste is not bad, especially the braised pork. Although the cut is rough and the color is not good, but it is moderately fat and thin, soft and salty. After ignoring the appearance, it is considered good.

Lin Mei, who knew Su Xiuran's appetite very well, knew that he deliberately had nothing to say, probably because he couldn't swallow, so she graciously passed her bowl over: "Okay, just give it to me."

Sure enough, Su Xiuran seemed to have taken advantage of it, and smiled slightly, bending his eyes slightly, and picked up all the pieces of meat in his bowl.

As for the remaining bowl of noodles, even Su Xiuran ate it up.

After the meal, Director Gong sent them to the guest house tens of meters away from the police station, asked them to go to the police station after lunch break, and then politely said goodbye.

Su Xiuran dragged a travel bag from the trunk, the bag was quite big, Lin Mei thought he had brought several sets of clothes when he set off.Who knew that after entering the room, he slowly took out sheets, quilts, bath towels and other things from the inside, and she gave Su Xiuran a thumbs up sincerely: "It's still very thoughtful and amazing."

There were two single beds in the room, Su Xiuran slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and threw her a set of bedding: "I also think you should thank me."

The guest houses they stayed in, not to mention incomparable with star hotels, even many farmhouses are more comfortable and exquisite than here.So Su Xiuran's own bedding and toiletries are still very useful.

The condition of the guest house is not good, but it is still clean, and there is a separate small yard not facing the street.

In addition, there was an unexpected joy, they tidied up and came down from upstairs, and saw the cliff behind the small courtyard, and several peach branches were protruding from the cliff, full of scorching peach blossoms, and the pink peach blossoms shrouded the sky like a cloud. over the yard.

The altitude here is much higher than that of the urban area, the temperature is lower, and spring comes late, which corresponds to a poem: the world is full of beauty in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom.

Su Xiuran and Lin Mei walked to the street. Under the warm spring sun, there were no pedestrians around. On the slope not far away, there were elementary school students frolicking in twos and threes, who seemed to be going to school.

Su Xiuran walked slowly over, Lin Mei walked side by side to the ramp, she saw that Su Xiuran was about to go up, she jumped on tiptoe, as if she could see things on the ramp: "That should be a school, it doesn't look like there are other buildings."

Su Xiuran responded lightly, but did not intend to stop. Lin Mei smiled when he suddenly wanted to see the children in the town: "It is said that the noise made by ten elementary school students is comparable to hell. You have to be careful."

He smiled and whispered, "Really?"

Lin Mei keenly caught a hint of pity in his voice, and for some reason she "thumped" in her heart, and hurriedly raised her head to look at him.

He turned his head slightly to look at her, his eyes still smiling, but his voice lowered: "Before you went downstairs this morning, Zhang Yan told me that the reason why you need to assist in the investigation across districts is because you used a public phone to report the crime in the urban area. The clue...was a child, anonymous."

It was at noon when the temperature was the highest, so those children naturally refused to be idle, not only running around on the ramp, but also frolicking in the small square on the ramp.

There is indeed a school, a row of two-story teaching buildings, in front of which are flower beds, flag raising platforms, basketball courts and other activity equipment.

Lin Mei admired Su Xiuran's affinity for the children. He usually had an aloof attitude of not getting close to strangers, but he was surprisingly popular in front of the children.

When he asked two children under the big tree in front of the primary school, he was surrounded by a group of chattering primary school students.

He was half-squatting, and one of the seven or eight-year-old little guy with a round, red face poked his arm and said expectantly: "Big brother, you look so good-looking, can I kiss you? "

Su Xiuran showed that kind of killer smile to the little girl, "It's ok, but don't leave too much saliva on my face, can I?"

The little girl was so amused that she giggled, put her arms around his neck and gave him a loud "boo" on his cheek.

Seeing their companion succeed, the other little girls were naturally unwilling to lag behind, and all of them eagerly approached and asked for a "boo".

Lin Mei's eyes turned red as she watched from the sidelines, thinking that these children are really against the sky now, they are so good at observing words and flattering, and they are also big brothers, so they are old enough to be called "uncle"!
Just as she was thinking, another little boy next to her tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Auntie, are you new teachers from our school?"

Lin Mei suddenly became sad and angry, thinking that she was three years younger than that old fox Su Xiuran, she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, but she still had to smile kindly at the little guy: "Little guy, we are not your new teacher."

The little boy let out an "oh" in disappointment: "It would be great if it was, you all look pretty!"

These days, it’s true that beauty control doesn’t distinguish between age and gender. Lin Mei wondered, since she praised us for being good-looking, why didn’t she call me “big sister”.

Su Xiuran, who had been "booed" by turns over there, half of his face was covered with saliva marks, but he was very indulgent to these children, and he, who was always a clean freak, didn't show any concern at all, and asked them with a smile: "Brother, can you?" May I ask you a question?"

The children had already been coaxed around by him, and they all said happily, "Okay."

"Who of you know Yang Yuntao?"

Several children looked at each other, and the first girl who asked to kiss Su Xiuran was obviously lively and bold, and said, "Is it Yang Yuntao from the second grade?"

Su Xiuran smiled and nodded: "It should be."

Another little girl rushed to say: "He is in our class! I know him! But no one plays with him, he is too boring."

Su Xiuran said "Oh": "Really? Why are you so boring? Don't you like to talk?"

The little girl who grabbed the conversation shook her head, she seemed to have a bad impression of Yang Yuntao: "It's not fun, I just sit in class every day and don't come out, and I don't like to talk."

The chatty girl wanted to say something, but the boy who was talking to Lin Mei earlier pulled her back, "Stop talking nonsense, isn't the teacher telling you not to talk nonsense?"

The little girl who snatched up the words gave him a dissatisfied look: "I didn't talk nonsense, Yang Yuntao just doesn't like to talk."

It seems that there is nothing to ask from the child, Su Xiuran stood up: "It's okay, I'm a friend of Yang Yuntao's father, and I'm here today to ask how he is doing in school."

The little boy looked at his height enviously, then made a gesture with the top of his head, raised his head and asked, "Uncle, can I be as tall as you when I grow up?"

Su Xiuran smiled: "Of course, but you can't be picky eaters, picky eaters will not grow taller."

Lin Mei recalled how picky he usually was when eating, and thought to himself, God, you fooled even children, where did your dignity and conscience as an adult go?
The little boy was happy, and tried his best to jump, as if he could reach the top of Su Xiuran's head... Well, he failed.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the chattering children scattered away, and Su Xiuran noticed that the skinny girl who had been standing behind the big tree ran up a few steps at this moment.

Su Xiuran gave Lin Mei a look, and she said understandingly: "It's a bit noisy here, I'll wait for you outside first, come here quickly."

When her figure was far away, Su Xiuran walked up to the little girl, squatted down and smiled at her: "Do you want to kiss me too?"

If Lin Mei was still there, she would definitely continue to complain crazily in her heart: God, you use sex to seduce little girls of how old, what about your morals?

The thin little girl wrung her fingers and looked at him timidly: "I don't want... Are you really Yang Yuntao's father's friend?"

It seems that she hid behind the tree just now, but she heard their conversation clearly.

Su Xiuran had listened to the recording of the police call beforehand, and now he was basically sure that this little girl was the one who called the police in the urban area.

She looked only seven or eight years old, but the expression on her face was a bit mature and melancholy beyond her age. If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have thought of calling the police from the downtown area.It may be that she feels that it is not very safe to be in the town or use her own phone.

Su Xiuran knew that most of these children were smart and sensitive, so he softened his expression even more, and smiled at her: "You can treat me as Yang Yuntao's father's friend, or you can treat me as your friend."

He meant something, and the little girl understood a little, her eyes lit up, she approached him and whispered, "Then you are the police uncle?"

Su Xiuran knew that an appropriate lie at this time would make things go more smoothly, not to mention the difference between a police consultant and a policeman, such a young child may not understand, so he smiled and nodded: "I am, but I am You don’t wear police uniforms when handling cases, so don’t tell anyone this secret.”

The children had a natural trust in "Uncle Policeman". Hearing what he said, the little girl hurriedly stepped forward and got closer to him, with a little eagerness in her voice: "Uncle Policeman, you must save Yang Yuntao!"

Su Xiuran nodded firmly to her: "We will, you tell the police uncle, did you call us?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "My mother took me to play in the park in the city the day before yesterday, and I used the pocket money my mother gave me to make a call."

Talking to such a small and sensitive child requires skill. Su Xiuran coaxed her as much as possible and asked her to reveal more information. Fortunately, he was born to be a master at questioning. There is a lot of information in it.

For example, her name is Yang Yueyue, not because she is related to Yang Yuntao, but like many closed small towns, many aborigines in this town have the surname Yang.There is also the situation about Yang Yuntao.

In fact, in the original call to the police, she gave Yang Yuntao's name, the names of Yang Yuntao's parents, the town and street where they lived, the name of the school, the name of the principal and class teacher, and so on.

If it wasn't for the clear clues she provided and the fact that this person was found here, this anonymous call to the police might have been treated as a child's prank.

When it came to specific matters, such as what happened to Yang Yuntao and why she needed to call the police, she was vague. She kept emphasizing that she asked her uncle and aunt to save Yang Yuntao, and repeated a sentence repeatedly: "He will die."

Although it is known that children have the habit of exaggerating and usually cannot correctly estimate the seriousness of the matter, the police department still attaches great importance to the personal safety of minors.That's why Zhang Yan specially took time out of his busy schedule to assist in the investigation, and even sent his capable subordinates and Su Xiuran, who was like a secret weapon, here.

It's a pity that Yang Yueyue still couldn't explain clearly what happened to Yang Yuntao after being questioned by Su Xiuran, she just asked her uncle to save him, and finally said one sentence: They kept beating him.

This "he" naturally refers to her little friend Yang Yuntao, but she refuses to say who they are.

Su Xiuran came over during his lunch break, just to understand the situation first. When the case is officially handled in the afternoon, there will naturally be more formal and extensive questioning.

Su Xiuran didn't question the panicked little girl for too long, so he asked her to go back to school first and not tell others what she had talked with him.

Lin Mei stood on the ramp and looked around.One side of the ramp is leaning against the cliff, and there is also a peach blossom protruding from the cliff, with pink petals falling beside it from time to time.

You can almost overlook the whole town from the ramp. The buildings here are mostly blue tiles and stone walls, and the streets also maintain the appearance of stone roads. Under the bright spring sunshine, you can see that most of the houses have planted peach trees, and the peach blossoms are hidden in the quaint In the small town, it is like a scroll of landscape painting.

She waited for more than ten minutes before Su Xiuran came over, smiled at her and said, "Let's go back to the guest house first."

Looking at his expression, Lin Mei knew that he might have gained something, but it was not enough to draw a conclusion, so she nodded: "Okay, we have to come over with Xiaoyu in the afternoon, right?"

Su Xiuran nodded: "The children still don't have much effective information to disclose, let's see what the principal and teachers have to say."

While they were talking, Su Xiuran suddenly grabbed her shoulders and bent over to block her. Lin Mei couldn't see what was going on in his arms, but felt his shoulder was hit hard by something. All of a sudden, a muffled grunt leaked from his lips.

She was startled, and hurriedly broke free from his arms, and saw some dust on the light-colored coat on his right shoulder, and not far in front of them, a fist-sized stone fell.

There was the undisguised scramble of footsteps running down the ramp, accompanied by a few teenage giggles.

Lin Mei realized that they were attacked by teenagers throwing stones, and she was a little stunned.

She grew up in the city since she was a child, and she didn't know that these country boys were so lawless, and they viciously picked her who looked weaker to attack.

The stone that hit Su Xiuran's shoulder, if it hit her, probably hit her on the head. Judging by the size of the stone and the force with which it was thrown, bleeding from the head and concussion are not out of the question.

She was surprised and angry, Su Xiuran also pursed her thin lips, Lin Mei raised her head and bumped into his cold eyes, was shocked for a moment, and hurriedly pressed her hand on the wound on his shoulder and asked, "Does it hurt?"

The coldness in his eyes was fleeting, and when he looked at her again, he had recovered his usual softness, and shook his head: "It's okay, the bones should not be broken, and it won't affect the next thing."

Lin Mei really admired him for expressing that his bones were not broken without changing his face, and without saying a word, he hurried back to the guest house to check his wounds.

She originally thought that she needed to go out to buy medicine for traumatic injuries, but Su Xiuran motioned her to open the emergency medicine box she brought. After opening it, she found that in addition to the regular internal medicine, Su Xiuran must take daily medicines, even the medicine for treating falls There are medicines for wounds and bleeding trauma.

She said to Su Xiuran with admiration: "Although many people carry a medicine box with them when they go out, it's the first time I've seen such a complete set of medicines. As expected of a master of reasoning, it's thoughtful."

Su Xiuran was silent for a while, and then said: "Doctor Cheng prepared the medicine box for me. If I don't take it with me when I go out, he will talk about it until I die."

Lin Mei recalled Doctor Cheng Yu's terrifying aura that even Su Xiuran could not resist, and couldn't help but "uh": "It turned out to be a professional doctor's handwriting." She also thought of what Cheng Yu said before when Su Xiuran was a child I saw a doctor for him, and then asked, "Did Dr. Cheng come from City S to City B a few years ago? He was also in the hospital in City S before?"

Su Xiuran replied: "He used to work in the hospital invested by my father... When he went abroad to study, it was funded by my father, so he has been our family doctor after returning to China." He paused and continued, "When I left Su's house, he insisted on leaving with me, and later worked in a public hospital in City B."

It's really not a common origin, no wonder Cheng Yu can reprimand Su Xiuran like an elder.

Lin Mei responded softly, and while talking, helped Su Xiuran take off his upper body clothes, and found that his shoulders were bruised a lot.

Lin Mei's face was also blue, and she hurried to the front desk to ask for ice cubes. After returning to the room, she wrapped the ice cubes in a towel, slowly gave him a cold compress, and then sprayed some medicine on it and rubbed it in.She was so distressed that she leaned over and blew gently, although she knew it would be useless: "It doesn't hurt anymore!"

Su Xiuran couldn't help but chuckled, and his shoulders moved slightly: "Are you treating me like a child?"

Lin Mei also felt that her behavior was a bit naive, and she laughed: "Only by coaxing you like a child, you will be obedient. Doctor Cheng set a good example for me."

Su Xiuran laughed in a low voice: "Following another Doctor Cheng with me, just thinking about it makes people shudder."

While he was bowing his head, Lin Mei leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips lightly, and said with a smile: "Then you don't care about the rewards you carry with you?"

Su Xiuran hugged her waist lightly, keeping a distance from her entangled breath: "Is such a small reward too dishonest?"

His dark eyes with a soft smile were right in front of her eyes, and she could see the shadow of his eyelashes and the clear reflection of his own figure in his pupils.

Just when their lips were about to touch each other again, a slightly awkward voice came from the door: "Oh, did I bother you..."

Lin Mei quickly let go of Su Xiuran and turned around, seeing Yu Qizhen standing at the door smiling a little embarrassedly, he explained: "I heard from the front desk that Xiao Lin asked for some ice cubes, so I wondered if there was someone I didn’t bring any medicine with me, but I have a folk remedy that works, so I bought a bottle of Erguotou and sent it to you, the door was not locked, I thought it would be broad daylight..."

Lin Mei walked over, and took the bottle of Erguotou from him with red ears: "It's nothing, I just help Xiuran see if there is any dust on his face..."

Yu Qizhen looked at her rather tangled, and said to himself that it would be better to admit it, anyway, you are also a couple who are afraid of someone, such a reluctant excuse, do I pretend to believe it, or do I pretend to believe it...

In the end, the entangled Yu Xiao still smiled kindly: "So it's like this..." After finishing speaking, he immediately explained how to use the wine, "Pour a shallow layer of this wine into a plate or bowl, light it with a lighter, and then use it while it is still on fire." Pat the wound with the palm of your hand. This is a folk remedy that everyone loved to use when we were training in the police academy. At that time, there were often bruises and bruises. This is better than any medicine."

It's the first time Lin Mei heard about it, but since there are a lot of practical cases to guarantee it, it probably works well, so she thanked: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Yu Qizhen looked at Su Xiuran who was sitting on the bed behind him. He didn't move from the beginning to the end. Not only did he not stand up to welcome him at all, but he raised his chin slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his lips seemed to be A smile is not a smile.

Comrade Yu Qizhen shivered involuntarily. He had an illusion that he seemed to have stumbled into some extraordinary scene by mistake, such as the scene where the big bad wolf ate Little Red Riding Hood or something.Well, that's a handsome, unrestrained and gentle... big bad wolf.

Yu Qizhen didn't dare to stay any longer, he hurriedly said his goodbyes and left, and helped them close the door, shouting: "Don't forget to lock the door!"

Lin Mei locked the door, and looked back at Su Xiuran with some embarrassment: "Sorry... I forgot to lock it in a hurry."

Su Xiuran nodded very seriously, and his tone was not like a joke at all: "You must pay attention to safety when you go out, especially the door, not only lock it from the back, but also use a safety lock. The safety lock is purely mechanical, and even experienced criminals Molecules are not easy to open, requiring relatively high technical content."

Lin Mei said "Oh" to indicate that she had written it down, and wiped his wounds with strong wine according to the method Yu Qizhen said, and after a while, she realized that...the kiss was interrupted , do you need to care so much?
Of course, she would never dare to complain to Su Xiuran.

After the lunch break, Director Gong took them and the two little police officers to visit the school.

The six people were quite powerful, and the principal of the elementary school naturally recognized the director of the local police station. He invited them to the principal's office and said that he would cooperate. Then he called the teacher in charge of the second grade.

The scale of this elementary school is not very large, each grade is divided into two classes, and each class has a head teacher. They first called the head teacher of Yang Yuntao's class to ask questions.

It was a young female teacher in her 20s, and the principal introduced her as a college student named Liu Qian who came to support teaching.

Liu Qian was easy to communicate at first glance, her conversation was clear and logical, although her clothes were a bit old-fashioned, she was full of vigor and a bit of the beauty of an urban young woman.

After sitting down and talking, I realized that although she is not from this city, she studied in university in City B, and she has only been teaching here for more than a year.

Because of Yu Qizhen's confession, Director Gong didn't speak. It was Su Xiuran who asked the question. He didn't mention Yang Yuntao's name, but first asked her if there were any abnormalities among the children in the class recently.

Liu Qian thought about it for a while, and said: "There is a girl who has been abnormal recently. She was a lively and cheerful child, but in the past two months, she suddenly became gloomy, and she always said some things she couldn't understand. I suspect that she may be because of The family misfortune caused hypochondria.”

Su Xiuran narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What's her name?"

"My name is Yang Yueyue. She was originally an excellent student, but her grades have declined recently."

Su Xiuran asked again: "You said that something happened to her family, what kind of change?"

Liu Qian sighed: "Yang Yueyue originally had an older sister named Yang Xiaoyue, who was in fifth grade this year. I haven't had direct contact with her, but her head teacher said that Yang Xiaoyue is more sensitive. Just last winter vacation, I don't know if it was because of her poor grades, or because of her poor grades. Because her parents said a few words to her, they committed suicide."

This kind of progress was beyond expectations. They came here for Yang Yuntao, but it turned out to involve the family experience of the informant Yang Yueyue.

Director Gong exchanged glances with Yu Qizhen calmly. After all, the little Li he brought was a young policeman who had just started working, and he glanced at his director in surprise.

Fortunately, the person who asked the question was Su Xiuran, who was like an old fox. He continued to follow this thread and seemed extremely interested in Yang Yueyue, as if they had come here for her: "Then what happened when Yang Xiaoyue committed suicide? Remember? We need to see something from different sides."

Liu Qian nodded and said: "I went back to the city for vacation, but after the accident, Principal Yang asked our teachers to return to their posts, so I hurried back. I heard that Yang Xiaoyue walked to the small school outside the town by herself at noon that day. Standing at the pond for a long time.

"On the way, an uncle of her family went to work in a factory outside the town. He saw her on the way and said hello, but after waiting for an hour, another person passed by and found her drowned in the pond."

Since Su Xiuran pretended to come here for Yang Xiaoyue's case, he naturally couldn't ask such basic questions as where the pond is, so he smiled and said, "We already know about this, what I want to ask is when she was in school. Didn't behave abnormally?"

Liu Qian frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Before the accident, she was also like Yang Yueyue, she suddenly became very withdrawn and melancholy!"

Su Xiuran nodded with a smile, then looked at Director Gong.

Director Gong understood, cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Liu still has class, go get busy first."

Liu Qian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. At her age, she obviously still couldn't completely conceal the fluctuations in her heart, and the smile on her face also relaxed a lot in an instant: "Okay, it just so happens that the next section is mine. Go prepare lessons, you are busy."

When Liu Qian left the office, the principal smiled and asked them: "Do the police comrades need to call the head teacher of Yang Xiaoyue's class for questioning? She is in class now, should I wait for her to finish class?"

Su Xiuran and director Gong exchanged glances, and director Gong said with a smile: "Let's go back and study first. The comrades in the city will investigate here for several days, and your normal teaching work cannot be affected."

Lin Mei saw that the headmaster's face changed obviously, and the smile on his face became a bit more forced: "Okay, okay, we will definitely cooperate with the police with all our strength."

When they came out, it was class time, and there was no class in physical education class. The campus and playground were empty, and they were out of the principal's sight. Director Gong said first: "It seems that they have prepared their speech in advance."

Lin Mei could also see this point, Liu Qian's statement just now obviously magnified the situation, not only spoke of Yang Yueyue's abnormality, but also involved Yang Xiaoyue who committed suicide a few months ago.

As the person in charge of the school, the principal should be annoyed at her for spreading the situation to other teachers in the fifth grade, but instead of being angry at all, he even offered to ask Yang Xiaoyue's class teacher to come over for questioning.

The headmaster's reaction proved that before Liu Qian was questioned, they had already figured out how to respond to the police's questioning, and had conspired with each other to explain.

When Director Gong said that comrades from the city would be stationed here, his expression changed—as a principal, it was impossible for him not to know the difference between a temporary investigation and a permanent investigation.

Su Xiuran said apologetically: "I was negligent, I came here with Lin Mei at noon, it may have disturbed them, let them prepare."

Director Gong shook his head: "If you want to talk about scaring the snake, it has already started the moment you arrived at the institute at noon. The town is so small, and a few unfamiliar faces will come. The news will be like growing legs. You can get from the town in a while." Pass to the end of the town."

As director Gong said, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The place is small, and the local people form their own system to protect each other. The police's ability is not as great as that in the city. This time, this kind of mistake made the colleagues in the city laugh."

Yu Qizhen took the words and said: "Where, the work of stationing at the grassroots level is very hard, everyone knows. Besides, since there is a case, it is a matter of the police station of City B. Director Gong doesn't have to be so polite to his own people."

The police station has its own vertical system. Director Gong and the resident police officers in the police station are not locals. Director Gong himself lives in the city and cannot leave his post at ordinary times. He can only go back for a day or two on weekends. It is also very hard.

When they were talking, they had already reached the ramp, Su Xiuran did not go straight down, but walked to a platform on the side of the ramp.

There are stones piled up in an unknown age, and it happens to enclose a small platform. The ground is soil, and there is a peach tree that looks quite old. Many peach petals are scattered on the slope. It fell from the old peach tree.

Director Gong saw him walking over, followed him and asked, "By the way, I heard that you were thrown stones by naughty students here at noon? Did you get hurt?"

Su Xiuran smiled and shook his head: "It's just a stone, what will happen? The children here are really naughty, they can do things like throwing stones at pedestrians."

Director Gong smiled helplessly: "Speaking of which, the children standing here and throwing stones at the people below are fine. Fortunately, they are all small stones, and nothing happened."

The fist-sized stone at noon is definitely not a small stone, right?Su Xiuran didn't explain, but just smiled again.

Lin Mei also observed the small stones scattered under the peach tree. The largest one was only half the size of an egg. If it was just hit by a stone of this size, although it would hurt, it would not cause trauma.

Thinking of the bruise on Su Xiuran's shoulder, Lin Mei immediately became angry, and couldn't help saying: "Even if no one was hurt before, these children should be criticized and educated, otherwise something will happen one day if this continues. "

She has always been very elegant, and her appearance is relatively soft and sweet. Director Gong obviously didn't expect her to suddenly get angry, and after a moment of stunned, he said: "Xiao Lin is right. I will urge the principal to put up a warning sign in the next day." Here, let's see if those little brats can restrain themselves a bit."

After coming down the ramp, Director Gong asked Su Xiuran, "Mr. Su, would you like to visit the scene of Yang Xiaoyue's suicide?"

After all, he is an old policeman who has been in the police force for many years, and his vision is vicious. What Zhang Yan told here was that Yu Qizhen was sent there with two consultants.

After all, Su Xiuran was unknown outside the district criminal police team, and he was not a real policeman, so naturally he had to bear Yu Qi's real name.Director Gong could tell that the real core of the three was Su Xiuran.

Contrary to Lin Mei's expectation, Su Xiuran smiled and shook his head: "No need, let's go tomorrow. I came here in a hurry today and encountered this kind of change again. We have to go back to sort out and report to Zhang Yan." I'm sorry that I'm not in good health, and I'm a little tired and want to rest."

Su Xiuran, who was able to travel across most of City B in the middle of the night to see the crime scene with a fever, just to get as close as possible to the natural environment at the time of the crime, would openly express that he was not in good health and was a little tired?
Without even thinking about it, Lin Mei knew that he must have other plans and arrangements, so she nodded to cooperate with him in acting: "That's right, it's time for you to take a rest."

Yu Qizhen still had a sincere smile on his face, he couldn't see the slightest clue, and didn't say much.

Director Gong was very concerned about Su Xiuran, not only sent them back to the guest house, but also asked Su Xiuran what was wrong, Su Xiuran smiled and said that it was just a little stomach trouble, nothing else.

After returning to the room, Lin Mei was still a little puzzled, because she knew very well that Su Xiuran would not stop investigating until she got an answer.Did he already have a judgment in his mind?But the current clues, in her opinion, are really not enough to support a strong conclusion.

With this doubt, she asked Su Xiuran: "Did you come to any conclusion?"

When Su Xiuran returned to the room, he half-lyed on his bed, looking really tired, closing his eyes and resting his mind, while nodding: "I have a preliminary deduction."

He spoke so briskly and hastily, Lin Mei was really stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What do you think?"

Su Xiuran said lightly: "Yang Yueyue probably lied, the whole thing seems to have nothing to do with Yang Yuntao at all, I think she may have carried out a psychological projection.

"That is to say, she was treated unfairly, and she was the one who needed help. However, when she called the police, for some special reason, such as her parents were by her side, or she couldn't talk about her pain, she was asked to come here under the guise of Yang Yuntao. report."

Lin Mei just wanted to say that even though Yang Yueyue lied when she called the police, but her parents were not present when they met at school at noon, why would she continue to lie?What's more, don't you think it's a bit arbitrary to judge a child is lying so easily?
She was about to open her mouth to refute, but in a flash, she suddenly remembered the phrase Director Gong said, "The news will be like growing legs". And Yang Xiaoyue's parents?"

Su Xiuran opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile and approval in his eyes.

He twitched the corners of his lips: "Yes, when children have problems, it is better to find the reasons in the family instead of looking for the reasons outside. Yang Xiaoyue will commit suicide, and Yang Yueyue will become autistic and suspicious. abuse. Some areas are very patriarchal, and girls are more likely to be abused.”

Lin Mei already realized that he was acting, and thought that few people could see through his pretending, and this set of theories sounded perfect.

Su Xiuran waved to her, motioning her to sit beside him, and his voice became a little lazy: "Although the case is about to be closed, we have to go through the cutscene... I don't know how many days I will stay in this ghostly place, Thankfully I brought you here with me."

Lin Mei thought that he was already addicted to acting. Such a wonderful performance faithfully restored the image of a highly self-respecting consultant who pretended to be friendly but was actually picky and harsh. He really worked hard to solve the case.

Since he wanted to play a flamboyant person, she could only reluctantly cooperate to play the flamboyant girlfriend of a flamboyant person.He simply went over to sit on the bed, lay down in his arms, and hugged his waist coquettishly: "That's right, we didn't send you over for such a small case, and we didn't get paid! It even caused you to be smashed, I'm going to be heartbroken to death, you know?"

Maybe the posture of her falling into Su Xiuran's arms was too exaggerated. After Su Xiuran hugged her, he looked at her and said with his lips: There are bugging equipment here, but there is no camera device.

After he finished speaking, seeing her stunned for a moment, he couldn't help laughing lowly, and even tilted his head to suppress the smile.

Lin Mei was so angry that she almost wanted to punch him. Considering that they were acting for others, she really punched him. She even cursed a classic line between couples when they joked: "You are so bad!"

It made Su Xiuran smile even more, and couldn't help laughing while holding her.

If the person who is listening to them hears this conversation, it is estimated that they will have a very rich content in their brains.
