to comfort the sun

Just one street away from the scene of the crime is the most prosperous business circle in Xishui District, which carries the city's dream.

On this road that separates the bustling from the barren, an unremarkable black car was parked under a crooked billboard. The body was covered in dust, and it seemed that the owner didn't use it very often.

Seeing that the mud near the wheels has dried into "bark", it has not been taken to wash.

There was a layer of snow on the top of the billboard, and with the flow of traffic, the siren sounded up and down, and the snow suddenly fell, hitting the gray ground, and a flower bloomed.

Liu Chenglin spotted the target vehicle at a glance, and when he was about to walk towards it, he suddenly saw a fragrant pancake stand from the corner of his eye.

In a certain unheated car, a person with his entire face covered in a down jacket curled up in the driver's seat like a baby, motionless.

If you just take a cursory look, you might think that he is asleep, but if you look closely at his eyes, you will find a shallow gaze cast on a certain person behind the curtain of drooping eyelashes. direction.

The window next to the driver's seat was tapped twice.

Dazed for a moment, Sun Fuzhou raised his hand slowly, rolled down the car window, and a steaming unknown object was thrown in, right in his arms.

Liu Chenglin rubbed his hands and sat in the co-pilot, but was stunned by the almost same temperature inside and outside the car.

What a welcome.

Liu Chenglin looked at him like a fool while turning on the heater: "Why don't you turn on the heater, do you know how many degrees it is outside? Are you planning to personally understand the death process of freezing to death?"

"In your eyes, I'm just that stupid?" Sun Fuzhou pulled down the clothes that covered his face, revealing a warm handbag in his arms.

Liu Chenglin nodded: "Okay, I misunderstood you."

Sun Fuzhou didn't even look at him, he took a bite of the pancakes slowly, first he chewed and sipped a mouthful, as if the taste was right, and immediately solved it all in one go.

While eating breakfast, Sun Fuzhou suddenly remembered what happened last night, and he was still chewing on the cake, so he couldn't wait to say: "After you left yesterday, I chatted with the pawnshop owner downstairs from the Internet cafe. Mao made a fortune some time ago."

Liu Chenglin had heard about Sun Fuzhou's tricks, but he didn't ask him why he acted alone: ​​"What money?"

Sun Fuzhou shrugged: "I didn't ask."

Even a good-tempered Liu Chenglin couldn't help but give him a blank look. What's wrong with half-doing things?

"But I think it is of great research value." Sun Fuzhou was dissatisfied with his reaction, and hurried to argue, "Think about it, where is the dark beer club? Although it was a broken KTV before, it is a serious one now A private club, how generous is Huang Mao, would he invite his disciples to drink there?"

Liu Chenglin thought about it carefully, and there was indeed a problem: "Well, it makes sense, and then?"

"So I had someone check Huang Mao's account last night. There was no large amount of funds on the surface. Where did the money go? Under what circumstances did you want to hide the money like this?" Sun Fuzhou counted him in detail. All the possibilities that can be thought of, "Do you think the murderer is just for money? An acquaintance committed the crime. I remember that yesterday Chen Yang had a lot of money in his hand..."

Liu Chenglin nodded: "It's possible, but it's not Luo Jun. The result of the investigation by the detectives is that there is no time to commit the crime. He was working in the Internet cafe that night, and the surveillance cameras were filming him, even when the body was found for the second time yesterday. "

After what he said, Chen Yang was indeed ruled out.

While they were chatting, a black off-road vehicle passed by them, not fast enough for them to see the shape of the car and its license plate clearly.

"I don't want to, take your time... By the way, why didn't you add an extra egg?" Sun Fuzhou frowned suddenly, as if the pancakes he had just eaten were bland.

He said so, but his eyes had already drifted to another direction - looking straight and undisguised at the car that just passed by.

Sun Fuzhou tightened the warm handbag in his arms, and shrank his face into his clothes, leaving only a pair of dark eyes, staring at the windshield without expression.

Facing Sun Fuzhou's sudden difficulty, Liu Chenglin responded easily: "No money."

Sun Fuzhou scolded anxiously, "How can an idiot make you poor?"

Liu Chenglin said without hesitation: "Yes, I still have a wife and children waiting to be raised, so of course I need to save money."

Sun Fuzhou clicked his tongue in displeasure, raised his hand and stuffed the white plastic bag into the shelf on the car door.

Liu Chenglin suddenly raised his chin: "Do you know him?"

Sun Fuzhou looked over, and beside the previous off-road vehicle, at some point there was a tall man, probably because he was wrapped in a long black coat, standing side by side with the slender telegraph pole, which did not accentuate his physique How robust.Further up, a camel-colored scarf was wrapped around his neck, but most of it was hidden in the coat, and the color and style could not be seen clearly.

He was lighting a cigarette out of the wind, and happened to be facing Sun Fuzhou and the others sideways. The lines of his face were clearly defined, meeting all the way to his brows and eyes, and finally disappeared into the shadow of his eye sockets.He failed to light the fire several times, so that now, there was a faint look of impatience on his face.

"I don't know." Sun Fuzhou quickly looked away.

Liu Chenglin briefly introduced: "He is Shen Yuan, who was born as a gangster. He used to be a well-known prickly head in a certain area. Later, he partnered with others to open a KTV, which is the predecessor of the dark beer club. It was closed for renovation half a year ago. Last month It has just reopened and changed from a KTV to a private club, and because of his good looks, there are many folk rumors, but the reference value is not high."

Sun Fuzhou hummed and didn't seem to care too much.

"It's been almost two years since you were transferred from Ling Hai—"

Liu Chenglin didn't finish what he said, but to Sun Fuzhou, the second half of the sentence was already commonplace.He has always been deaf to this.

The two sat quietly in the car, looking at the same man very strangely.

Shen Yuan on the other side finally lit a cigarette, and exhaled heavily a puff of thick white smoke. The cold air penetrating into his bones made him shiver a little. Shen Yuan squeezed his cold hands, wanting to finish his cigarette before leaving.

Maybe it was because his nerves were too sensitive, Shen Yuan twisted his stiff neck and looked around.

His eyes seemed to be able to burn people, but at the moment when his eyes met, Sun Fuzhou suddenly bent down.

Liu Chenglin naturally stood still.

He even asked inexplicably, "What are you hiding?"

Sun Fuzhou sat up straight in a hurry: "No...something fell out." He spread his hands, holding a dime.

Sun Fuzhou hastily threw the coin into his chest pocket, then glanced in Shen Yuan's direction with his peripheral vision, and he was relieved that he had disappeared...

Dengdeng!

Someone stood outside the window on the co-pilot's side at some point, and the hand knocking on the window was still stuck there, with sharp bones and an old-fashioned mechanical watch.Although no face was seen, the black coat made it clear who was coming.

Liu Chenglin rolled down the window frankly, and showed him the inside of the car boldly.

Previously, Liu Chenglin attended the reception of a businessman in the city with the former director, and met Shen Yuan once.

Shen Yuan half-bent down, looked towards the driver's seat, and made a surprised expression: "Ah...Liu Dui and...Sun Dui, why are you two sitting here so early in the morning? Are you looking at the scenery?"

After finishing speaking, he looked back seriously at the white wall that tightly covered the community. Except for the restless branches sticking out, there was really no scenery to speak of.

"The police are handling the case. Don't disturb the idlers." Sun Fuzhou shouted quickly.

"Can I ask what case was investigated?"

"This is a secret. It has nothing to do with you, so don't be too curious. Be careful not to be treated as a suspect."

"You don't need to worry about Sun Fuzhou." Faced with Sun Fuzhou's ambiguity, Shen Yuan only raised the corners of his mouth perfunctorily, "Although I don't know what the case is, but if there is something that requires my cooperation, I will definitely cooperate actively. "

Sun Fuzhou raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect Boss Shen to be so kind-hearted. Don't worry, when the case is solved, our bureau will definitely send you a flag."

Shen Yuan: "I didn't know that Team Sun loves chatting so much."

Liu Chenglin: "I still can chat without you..."

Two people talk to each other, come and go, with guns and sticks, but it is very difficult to have someone caught in the middle without any scruples.

After they finished thinking about it for a few rounds, Liu Chenglin finally showed a sense of awareness, and interrupted them abruptly: "Sun Fuzhou, don't say a few words... Where is Mr. Shen going?"

Shen Yuan pointed to a certain building not far behind: "Come to the store to have a look, the last two days were quite busy, so I just happen to be free today."

Liu Chenglin looked over and said, "Do you mind if we go and sit down?"

Shen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile: "You are very welcome."

Seeing that Liu Chenglin had already pushed the door and left, Sun Fuzhou rubbed his nose in embarrassment, neither sat nor sat down, so he gathered his clothes and tried to exchange eyes with his inexplicable teammate.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuan bent down and looked at him first: "Will Team Sun not give you face?"

The honey-like smile in his eyes unavoidably frightened him.Sun Fuzhou immediately looked away, then bit the bullet and got out of the car.

"You guys know each other?" Taking advantage of Shen Yuan walking in front, Liu Chenglin kept his eyes fixed while expressing his curiosity.

"I don't know." Sun Fuzhou firmly denied.

Liu Chenglin turned his head, looked at his expression probingly, but found nothing, so he turned back again, and said, "Just pretend."

The gate of the dark beer club is in front of you. This dark building used to be full of light at night.

The clubhouse was closed the day before, so this morning, the gate was still tightly closed. Shen Yuan took a bunch of jingling keys from his pocket and opened the lock hanging on the door. A strong scent of aromatherapy wafted out from behind the door.

The predecessor of the Black Beer Club was a nightclub. After it became bigger, it slowly wanted to get rid of the vulgarity and lean on elegance, and started to make money from the rich.

Occupying a third of the downtown area, serving the rich and the noble.No matter how simple and low-key the exterior decoration is, it cannot hide the extravagance inside.

It's like the fragrance that hasn't faded away after drying for a day.

While leading the way, Shen Yuan explained the quietness of the store: "Originally these two days are closed for Chinese New Year, but some customers like to discuss business on the second floor, so only the second floor is open."

Behind the gate is a dark corridor, decorated in a French style, with a few unintelligible paintings, successfully creating an absurd atmosphere. On the road, you can see that the door leading to the hall on the first floor is closed. Sun Fuzhou's eyes froze for a moment, and his breathing suddenly sank.

"Captain Sun, the first floor is closed for a few days, and the bartenders have all gone back." Shen Yuan said suddenly, "You can come back on the fifth day of the lunar new year."

Sun Fuzhou looked at him hesitantly, only to realize that he had stopped at some point.

Liu Chenglin also turned his head and cast a very surprised look.

Sun Fuzhou adjusted his mood, and followed them with his legs: "It's nothing, I just think the decoration here is quite unique, and I want to take a closer look."

Shen Yuan put on a neutral smile: "If Team Sun likes it, I will sign you up as a member when I leave, and there will be a discount for the next visit."

Sun Fuzhou felt a little parched, and hurriedly turned his head away: "Then I won't bother you."

Shen Yuan still had the same steady smile, standing at the corner of the first floor, the lights were bright, his figure was thin and shadowy, he seemed unaware of his panic.So soon, he put away his smile, turned around and walked to the second floor, the wooden stairs made a dull sound.

The second floor is preparing for business, and the clerks are busy. Even so, their movements do not make noisy sounds. Even when they are cleaning, they are accompanied by light pure music.

"Morning, Brother Shen." Seeing Shen Yuan, a man dressed like a manager immediately walked towards them.

Shen Yuan motioned to the two people behind him: "Ah Dong, arrange a quieter place for the two police officers, and I'll treat you to something to eat and drink."

Sun Fuzhou quickly refused: "No need, you won't get rewarded for no merit, just put it on our own account."

"Yes." Ah Dong warmly led Sun Fuzhou and the others in another direction, "This way, please."

The entire second floor has a large area, and obviously a lot of thought has been put into the decoration, and each seat is separated into a separate space.The flowers in the vase were freshly inserted, the incense on the window sill was just lit, and even the decorations on the table were outrageously exquisite.

A Dong led them through the hall and came to a place near the window. The apricot-colored curtains hung heavily on both sides, and the wide windows summed up the scenery outside very clearly.

A Dong stood upright by the table: "Please sit down, please, this place has been cleaned, no one will come to disturb you, you two seem to be unfamiliar faces, do you want me to introduce the characteristics of the store to you? "

"No need." Sun Fuzhou leaned lazily on the soft sofa, and waved him off, "Just ask your boss to come over quickly."

"Okay." A Dong smiled, and then quietly withdrew.

A Dong returned to the lobby with the order book, and when he handed the book to a passing waiter, he took the book from the side with one hand.

"Brother Shen." The two looked at the person coming and shouted respectfully.

Shen Yuan glanced at the order book: "Swap the coffee for hot milk."

The waiter got the order, nodded and left, leaving Adong to look at Shen Yuan hesitantly: "Brother Shen, are they here to check what happened that day? Do you need..."

"The two captains of the criminal investigation team, how do you want to get rid of them?" Shen Yuan asked in a cold tone.

The heating in the store was fully turned on, and when Shen Yuan appeared in front of them again, the crisp long coat was gone, and he was only wearing a gentle plain sweater, looking like a good-natured youth—if you ignore the A natural gangster's words.

Shen Yuan sat down opposite them, rolled up his sleeves twice, revealing part of the black and gray tattoo: "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."

Sun Fuzhou looked away from his flowery arms: "Boss Shen is really a busy man."

"It's all to make a living." Shen Yuan spread his hands, "The two of you are here to investigate the case?"

Liu Chenglin looked at him unexpectedly: "What does Boss Shen know?"

"I just heard about it, and you haven't deleted all the posts on the Internet." Shen Yuan said, "I just don't know what you want to ask me?"

"This person came to your store on the night of the 23rd, have you seen him?" Sun Fuzhou took out Huang Xiaoshan's photo.

"I've seen it. The little gangster in Nanhua is called Huangmao."

"What's your relationship with him?"

"That's all right—but strictly speaking, he's a customer in the shop."

Shen Yuan's attitude was very good, too good to be true.

Sun Fuzhou frowned and asked, "Is it that simple?"

"Fuzhou—" Liu Chenglin called him with a serious face.

Shen Yuan said meaningfully: "Captain Sun, am I a suspect?"

Realizing his gaffe, Sun Fuzhou couldn't help but twitch his eyes: "No..."

The wind from the window came in through the gap, the raised curtains caught the flowers on the table, the slender vase shook twice, and rolled towards the table.

The sound of shattering glass will break the silence.

"Ah—I'm sorry..." A waiter stumbled and ran over.

"... He did come here on the 23rd, and he had some... small conflicts with our waiter." Shen Yuan said slowly, "As for where they went after they left, I don't know. Yu is together, and we left together at twelve o'clock, can we prove each other?"

Sun Fuzhou lowered his head and took a sip of the warm milk. He couldn't help but clenched his hands holding the cup tightly, and remained extremely silent.
