today's island

Thank goodness, thanksgiving doesn't fall foul of the holidays.On New Year's Eve, their task force had a holiday.

Deliberately taking advantage of Sun Yan's time in the office to get off work, they walked past the criminal investigation team's office one by one, and walked away braggingly, wanting to be even more exaggerated than the director.

When Lu Yuanzhe looked into the criminal investigation team's office, Sun Yan said: "Hey, are you home and waiting for work?"

"Explain that the people at the banquet also have New Year's dinner, why? Looking forward to the appearance of a perverted murderer?" He squinted at Sun Yan.

"Don't dare, even if you should hurry up and find him out? They have sent two shrimp soldiers and crabs to come here in a short while, and you haven't even found the gate of the Dragon Palace." Sun Yan also gave him a supercilious look. .

"I'm working hard." He said one last sentence, walked briskly out of the corridor, stood in the yard and took a deep breath of the cold winter wind, then rode his scooter alone to the low-rent housing complex.

Cheng Mo walked in the opposite direction and took the subway to go home. No matter what, he still had to go home for the New Year.

Lu Yuanzhe drove to the airport, and this time just happened to be able to pick up his happy family members who were abroad all day long.

He didn’t expect to have a family to return to, and Turning also closed for two days. He planned to invite a few lonely people like him to drink together, but his parents and sister came back. The sister also came back with her brother-in-law and one-year-old nephew. , all of a sudden filled the room to the brim.

They stayed for one day and left, which happened to be a perfect stagger with Cheng Mo, but that's good too, God knows what they looked like when they saw Cheng Mo living in his house for a long time.

As soon as he drove to the airport, he saw his gorgeous mother holding his middle-aged and fat father, standing next to his sister with dyed red hair and brother-in-law with blonde hair and blue eyes, and his one-year-old nephew sitting in a stroller. Very conspicuous.

With a smile on his face, he stopped the car and went to meet them, and the first sentence he heard was disgust.

"You are so dirty today." His mother commented.

"How do you want me to go to work?" He rolled his eyes, "I'm sorry for dragging the whole family down, and I will definitely correct it when I have a holiday tomorrow."

He drove his family home. Although they were fighting each other in the car, he was still happy. It was better than no one came back to see him.

Not surprisingly, as soon as they got home, they found traces of Cheng Mo's life.

"You finally have a boyfriend?" The door was left open, and his mother looked curiously at the door of Cheng Mo's bedroom, "Wow, what a neat boy."

"That's not just tidy, it's inhuman." Lu Yuanzhe couldn't help complaining.

"There's a story." Hearing his tone, my sister started gossiping too.

"There is no story yet." Lu Yuanzhe denied it.Everyone understood what he meant, and it was the same as before, he was here to borrow, but the time was relatively long, which was unusual.

"What does it look like, can we take a look in advance, what kind of person is it?" asked the sister.

He thought for a while, and found Cheng Mo taken by Su Xiaozhi from his phone: "The new shooter in the bureau has been assigned to our special case team."

The whole family exploded, the man was looking at the rifle, and the woman was looking at her face and figure all the same, and they all nodded and praised "this is good, this is good, this is very good", Cheng Mo's clean temperament is very attractive, and it is not a It's been two days.

"Immigrate to the U.S., it's already legal." My brother-in-law's Chinese isn't fluent enough, so he's joined the gossip, "You're so handsome."

Straight men like it, which shows that it is unusual.Lu Yuanzhe could only smile bitterly in his heart, and then asked them: "You really support the fake support, do you know who he is?"

"Who?" Mother Lu asked.

"Mayor Cheng's son." He replied.

"Cool." This time Dad Lu gave a thumbs up to grab the white, "You go, maybe it will pave the way for our company to expand its scale."

"It's not bad if it's not a stumbling block." He looked at his father helplessly, he shouldn't ask the unreliable members of their family.

He was so unreliable when he was eighteen or nineteen, maybe he got the true inheritance of his family.

·

On the first day of the new year, it was obviously a holiday, and he was more tired than going to work, so Lu Yuanzhe took his family on a trip.If it weren't for the fact that most of the shops weren't open on New Year's Day, his legs might have been broken.

At this time, he was a little lucky to be assigned to the special case team. He used to be in the criminal investigation team, and his parents really didn't have to come back to see him on New Year's Eve. They were much busier than usual during the holidays.

But after all, it is an emerging metropolis that is frantically attracting foreign talents. The Spring Festival travel has taken away most of the outsiders. Now the streets are desolate, like a large-scale film and television base that has been cleared.

"In the past few years, the island city has really changed with each passing day." Mother Lu said with emotion.They came back to visit their hometown specifically, so they insisted on walking all the streets, alleys, squares and parks regardless of how many shops were open on the road.

"It means that Mayor Cheng is still good." Father Lu replied, "He is a man with means. If you get along well with his son, maybe we will come back to expand the company's business."

Speaking of Cheng Mo's father, Lu Yuanzhe recalled Cheng Mo's lifeless eyes at the crime scene: "Do you think Mayor Cheng is good?"

"What? Is he not good?" Papa Lu asked him, "Did you hit your mandarin ducks?"

"That's not true, I haven't written my horoscope yet, but it's not that he created such a task force that made me idle during the Chinese New Year." He replied casually, without mentioning Cheng Mo's matter.

"It's because he is very vigilant about Yan." Lu's father analyzed, "I was still in Daocheng at that time, and he really made a lot of efforts in eradicating gangsters and evil. It is reasonable to be afraid of being retaliated."

"I know, I heard that he went to the scene." Lu Yuanzhe nodded.

"More than that, he also provided some information about Yan to the police." Lu's father recalled, "Anyway, he is very powerful, and I really want to get to know him."

Lu Yuanzhe has never heard of this, but unfortunately his father can't tell the truth. The Yan's file is a secret of the Daocheng Public Security Bureau. There is no authority, and the special case team can't be called out. I can only see a brief summary. I'm afraid I have to ask Tang Only the Bureau can know the whole story.

"His son is a criminal police officer, maybe he inherited his father's criminal investigation talent." Lu's father guessed casually, "He must be a smart man to bring Daocheng up so quickly."

Lu Yuanzhe recalled his father's words, and nodded: "Then I must meet him when I have the chance."

Then the topic was dragged away by his mother. Compared with a father with means, his mother was more concerned about the personality of that beautiful baby son, whether he was as old-fashioned as his father, and whether he was interested in him.

If last month, Lu Yuanzhe would have been able to tell a lot of novel stories, but now he can only deal with it, and he doesn't know what Cheng Mo's feelings for him are.

He and the criminal police were tired and said they were tired, they finally took their luggage and flew away contentedly, waving their hands at the sunset, not taking away a cloud, but a lot of local products.

"You left me alone," he protested at the airport, a family reunion so short that it didn't even count as an excursion.

"Then why don't you change Christmas? Christmas is a holiday abroad." His mother suggested.

"I'd like to ask you, Director Tang, if you want to." He spread his hands.

"Come on, we'll be annoying for three days." His sister patted him on the shoulder, knowing his character very well, "Come on, next time we come back, it's best that you've settled down and don't hang out with those cronies anymore. mixed together."

"Last time you said that men should be brothers everywhere." He gave his sister a sideways look.

His sister shrugged and smiled, knowing that he understood what she meant, and didn't explain.

Saying goodbye at the gate, he drove back immediately without much nostalgia.It sounds a bit lonely to say, but he can go whenever he wants, and he is young, it seems that there is no need to start loving home so early.

Cheng Mo didn't come back today, he was the only one, he didn't want to disturb Aunt Zheng's New Year's Eve, so he ordered a bowl of noodles for himself.

After eating the noodles, he went back to the studio, played some music for himself, and took out a piece of watercolor paper again.The few pictures I drew before are not satisfactory, I hope he can finish the work smoothly today.

He didn't know what the tension in the picture was that Cheng Mo was talking about. He created it casually, and he was usually satisfied easily. But the one given to Cheng Mo couldn't be in place.

Maybe he wanted to express too much, a piece of watercolor paper can't fit it.

He turned his head and glanced at the balcony. Today was a fine day, and he turned off all the lights in the house, so he could see the stars.

Sitting alone on the balcony railing, there was a strong wind at night, and the surroundings were pitch black. He was still a little nervous, for fear that he might accidentally fall into the water.

He likes to solve puzzles and take risks, but he cherishes life instinctively, so he can't understand Cheng Mo's self-like positiveness and stubborn world-weariness.Is it because of over-evolution, the evolution of the instinct to live is gone?Or did the family's elite education go too far and made him too tired?

He looked down at the swimming pool that Cheng Mo liked, and now it was like a deep black hole, with no bottom in sight.Cheng Mo likes to jump into the pool from here, is he looking for the feeling of death?

He felt that the sparks in the sky, the ocean in the distance, the isolated islands in the sea, and the fish swimming in the sea could make people miss life, but he didn't know why it was so boring when they came to Cheng Mo.

Fortunately, it's a heart disease, not a physical disease, but if left alone, it will get worse one day.

Just thinking about Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo sent him a message: "Can you take a photo of the whiteboard in my room? I'm sorting out the case."

"Do you have to tidy up on the first day of the new year?" He replied, but he still got off the railing and went to Cheng Mo's room to take a photo.

"What else? Watch the replay of the Spring Festival Gala?" Cheng Mo actually shook his burden with him.

"It's not bad, if you like it." He sent the content on the whiteboard to Cheng Mo.

"I don't like it." Cheng Mo answered him bluntly.

"I'm curious if you have anything you like." He texted back.

Cheng Mo replied after a while: "No."

He paused for a moment, not knowing how to answer, Cheng Mo actually took the initiative to chat with him again: "What about you?"

Cheng Mo can take the initiative to ask questions on the phone, it must be escaping from real life.Although he asked so many people, everyone said that Cheng Mo's parents did not treat him differently, but now he is sure that, no matter whether there is any difference in treatment, Cheng Mo must not be used to the atmosphere of that family.

At least Cheng Mo is a person who likes to put a smile on his face, and is afraid that others will feel embarrassed and indifferent, but his father is just the opposite, he is unselfish and decisive.

"Guess?" He closed Cheng Mo's room door, looking at the bright starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if he had some inspiration for painting.
