today's island

There is no news about the smuggling investigation. The task force has been on and off work for a week or two. Yesterday, everyone was still joking about being afraid of being found out, so it stopped temporarily. Today, Lu Yuanzhe received a call from a colleague on duty.

It was still very early, before seven o'clock, the operator said that someone had reported the crime and he had received a threatening letter.

Usually, for this kind of thing, the police in the jurisdiction would be sent to find out the situation first, but this time the payment was a banquet, and he was called directly.

While driving on the road and waiting for the traffic light, he handed Cheng Mo a can of Coke: "Refresh."

He knew that Cheng Mo didn't wake up, he stayed up all night playing disco last night, and didn't go to bed until three o'clock. With Cheng Mo's sleep quality, it would be a ghost if he could sleep well.

"Thank you." Cheng Mo's voice was indeed sleepy in the morning, and carbonated drinks couldn't save him.So after driving for 5 minutes, he put down the Coke in his hand, stretched out his hands, and slapped himself on the face.

"Pfft." Lu Yuanzhe was amused by him, "Does this work?"

"Yes." Cheng Mo seemed to be much more awake, so he raised his spirits and chatted with him about the case, "You said that the person who invited us this time is a celebrity?"

"Probably." Lu Yuanzhe nodded, "Idol pianists are very famous."

In the information age, in addition to participating in various well-known competitions, pianists can also post small videos on the Internet.That's how Deng Boxuan became popular. Before that, he had a high hit rate on the Internet, and then he entered the entertainment circle.Although it is not as good as some top pianists, nor as popular actors and singers, but it is very famous, and it is not a problem to make a living.

Generally, this kind of traffic pianist is quite unpopular in the art circle, but he has won some prestigious awards in the piano industry, and his personality is also very pleasing, so he doesn't have many bad reviews.

Such a friendly young man was targeted by Yan for some reason and sent him a threatening letter.

Lu Yuanzhe's house is not far from his house, they are all in the villa area in the east of the city, but they are not in the same neighborhood.It may be that they received a threatening letter. There are security guards in the yard of his villa, and they checked their police IDs before letting them in.

Although the villa here has its own yard, there are only low fences and a small courtyard. It is quite easy for someone to throw a threatening letter to the door. People with long legs can step in with one step. No trace left.

Deng Boxuan was waiting for them in the living room, and shook hands warmly when he saw them: "Good morning, the two detectives have worked hard!"

When he opened his mouth like this, Lu Yuanzhe thought he had walked into the set of some period film.

Deng Boxuan is only 19 years old, and learning the piano has not diminished his lively personality at all.Although he is at the age of college, his family is still rich and talented. He has learned all the music knowledge he should learn before he is an adult. Now it depends on when he is willing to calm down and study further.

"Morning, Mr. Deng." Lu Yuanzhe shook hands with him. In his eyes, he couldn't read the panic of being intimidated, but the manager looked worried. Maybe the call to the police was also arranged by the manager.

"Did you both go to bed, or the police don't sleep in late?" Deng Boxuan seemed to be acquainted, and warmly invited them to sit down and served them tea. He didn't talk about the threatening letter for a long time, "I also wanted to learn when I was young." Two moves for self-defense, but playing the piano is not allowed, it's a pity, otherwise I won't bother you two."

"There is a specialization in art. If you are really in danger, you should ask the police for help. Even if you have learned it, you can't be careless." Lu Yuanzhe politely said to him.

"That's not it, then I'll just become a policeman. The best piano player among the police... seems to be good too?" Deng Boxuan muttered, and the topic got farther and farther away.

The manager quietly handed over the threatening letter, and finally got the topic back on track: "I found this at the door this morning."

Deng Boxuan is a local. When he was 17 years old, he became rebellious. He insisted on buying a house by himself and moved out.He is very independent. Although it is not crowded at all to live with two more people, he is determined not to let his assistant come in. Except for the itinerary announcement, he does not contact his agent or assistant.

Last week, Deng Boxuan accepted a job for the Island City Music Festival, and last night the official schedule was released.The manager came early in the morning to confirm the recording content with Deng Boxuan. When he walked to the door, he saw a letter lying on the ground.

The piano circle is more or less different from the real entertainment circle. There are not so many radicals. This is the first time Deng Boxuan has received a threatening letter.He himself felt that he didn't need to care, but his manager still felt that it was better to be careful, so he called the police and hired security temporarily.

"Confirm the program arrangement after six o'clock in the morning?" Lu Yuanzhe asked in wonder.

Speaking of this, the manager rolled his eyes: "Who made him like to run around? If you don't come to his house earlier to catch him, who knows where to go for a walk."

Although Deng Boxuan doesn't like walking and shopping, he likes to go missing. He either goes to eat and drink with friends, or goes to bars and Internet cafes with friends to pass the time.

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Deng Boxuan retorted, "He has to tell me the process as soon as he makes any announcements. He is a workaholic and unreasonable."

The debate could not reach a conclusion. Lu Yuanzhe tended that neither of them lied, one was a salted fish pianist, and the other was an activist manager.

He looked down at the envelope in his hand, and he could feel it through the envelope. It was an invitation letter for a banquet.Open it and look, it is also the standard format of the feast——

TO Deng Boxuan: I like your piano sound very much, and I plan to collect an out-of-print piano piece. I wonder if Mr. Deng can be invited to visit my humble house this week?Signed: Banquet.

This time, he finally stopped looking for him, and directly asked for Deng Boxuan by name.

The wording of the invitation letter was quite polite, but the problem was the razor blade and bloody fingerprints that came with the letter, making Lu Yuanzhe guess that the "out-of-print piano music" might be dead after recording.

He carefully put away the evidence and looked at his agent Han Bin: "Have you noticed anything unusual recently? Being followed or something like that."

"After getting off the plane, someone chased the car, but they didn't catch up. However, some fans know where Boxuan lives, and occasionally someone will come and hang around." Han Bin stopped arguing with Deng Boxuan, and replied seriously.

"It shouldn't be those people, right?" Deng Boxuan also recalled it, and his tone was quite relaxed, "Those illegitimate fans have all been captured by surveillance cameras. Didn't they expose me in minutes when they came to kidnap me?"

"What is an illegitimate fan?" Cheng Mo asked.

"It's... um... fans who will forcibly chase me all over the world, and try to interfere with my private life in any way." Deng Boxuan explained casually, "Every star has it, and I have it. It’s not rampant to grow illegitimate fans who play the piano.”

Lu Yuanzhe heard about Ling Xi and Su Xiaozhi's science popularization, and he knew that there are still fans who hid in celebrities' homes to install bugs, which is indeed scary enough.

"If it's easier for them, they are all spending money from the family, and they don't dare to break the law." Han Bin recalled carefully, and really couldn't remember who was an illegitimate fan with violent tendencies. A person who throws things on the balcony will not dare to come after being warned once."

"This must be a man's handwriting." Deng Boxuan glanced at the envelope in Lu Yuanzhe's hand, "I have learned calligraphy, no matter how I look at it, it is not a woman's handwriting."

"I think so, I'd like to trouble the two police officers to investigate." Han Bin also thought so, "I have heard a little about this banquet. It is a drug trafficking organization, and it was on the news last month."

"Yes, yes, you just took down their drug manufacturing den last month, right?" Deng Boxuan became excited again, "It's very cool."

To be honest, Lu Yuanzhe really felt a bit of a headache when the protected target didn't take the banquet so seriously, and he was afraid that Deng Boxuan would have some out-of-the-ordinary ideas.But at the moment, he can only comfort Han Bin: "Don't worry, we will definitely investigate the Yan case thoroughly."

Participation in banquets has always been a major event involving human life, so I dare not take it lightly.

·

After spending some time wandering around the villa, Lu Yuanzhe and Cheng Mo didn't find any suspicious traces for the time being, only the visitor's camera was turned to a position where the gate could not be photographed.

They all agreed that the other party poked the camera with a bamboo pole or something, and then threw the letter openly. There was nothing on the trace. They also visited a bunch of security properties early in the morning, and they probably couldn't compare the results in terms of footprints. up.

But let Lu Yuanzhe judge that Deng Boxuan's house is still safe, with an automatic alarm system installed, all kinds of slipping doors and locks will be noticed.The property here is quite responsible, and the residents should not be abducted without knowing it.

However, Yi Yan's handwriting is really urgent, and it is not impossible to break into the house and take her away by force.So Lu Yuanzhe still prefers to send some people here to protect Deng Boxuan personally.

He told Han Bin about this, and Han Bin nodded: "I think so too, anyway, we're only staying for a week, and we're going out of town again on Sunday, and the time he agreed on is also for a week, so he won't make trouble at the airport, right?" ?”

"That's not certain, but the security at the airport will be responsible, and I'm assured of them." Lu Yuanzhe smiled and said a few words of comfort, "Don't worry, banquets can no longer be as rampant as they were ten years ago. "

"Actually, I'm mainly worried about the music festival on Saturday." Han Bin finally expressed his worries, "It's hard to control the public schedule and many audiences."

This time Deng Boxuan came back mainly for this music festival. This is the promotion of the tourist attractions in the island city. Other itineraries can be canceled.Fortunately, he is the opening, and he can go home after playing. There is no need to sit for hours in the crowded and chaotic backstage.

It's like a banquet style, I'm afraid it's because I know that Deng Boxuan's event will not be canceled easily, so I chose such a time to tie him up.

"Well, we will definitely send more people for public events." Lu Yuanzhe nodded, "Other time...do you want Deng Boxuan to stay at my house for a few days? My house is quite safe, at least Yan has been trying to arrest me for a long time, and I haven't rushed yet Have entered our neighborhood."

"Forget it." Han Bin smiled and waved his hands, "I can't stop working."

Deng Boxuan's job is to play the piano, and he was ordered to practice the piano early in the morning. He was quite unhappy and played an extremely excited "Fate", as violent as if he was about to smash the piano.In the end, it was Cheng Mo who couldn't stand listening anymore, and interjected in a low voice, "Snap shot", before he stopped.

"You know the piano?" Deng Boxuan turned his head to look at him, not quite convinced.

Cheng Mo shook his head: "I don't understand, but you can tell if you've snatched the shot or not."

Hearing what he said, Deng Boxuan's desire to win and lose was aroused. He took out his state and played it again, then turned his head and asked Cheng Mo: "How is it?"

"I can't tell." Cheng Mo replied honestly.Although he can't be said to be tone-deaf, he really doesn't have a high level of appreciation.

"..." Deng Boxuan let out a long sigh, just as he saw Lu Yuanzhe coming in, he immediately came again and asked him, "How is it?"

"It's pretty good." Lu Yuanzhe also said that casually, but he acted very enthusiastically, so he was praised.

Now he was satisfied, and the action of pressing the keys became more natural.

Han Bin rolled his eyes behind Deng Boxuan, and then looked at Lu Yuanzhe, implying that this young pianist is such a child at heart.

"That... Mr. Deng, there is something we need to discuss with you." No matter how difficult it is, we have to try, Lu Yuanzhe sighed in his heart, and then patiently and seriously explained the danger of the banquet and the fact that they were going to move The determination to come in and stalk.

After listening to Lu Yuanzhe's analysis, Deng Boxuan didn't refuse, and agreed very readily: "Yes, but I have a request."

Lu Yuanzhe was taken aback for a moment, but quickly answered: "Say it."

"Don't have too many people. I don't like a lot of people walking around the house. Besides, you must stay, Captain Lu." Speaking of this, Deng Boxuan blinked at him, his eyes sparkling, and there was something in his words.

"Huh?" Lu Yuanzhe was stunned, but he didn't expect the topic to turn to him.

Deng Boxuan didn't explain, and with a movement of his fingers, he changed to a piano piece.After playing a section, Lu Yuanzhe understood.

There is such a thing?He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Deng Boxuan, as if he understood why Deng Boxuan allowed his manager to call the police.

He went to disco last night and gave flowers to a resident band, and that band used this song to conquer him.

This Deng Boxuan hides his secrets, and he is still a fellow.

"Okay." Lu Yuanzhe smiled at him, expressing his understanding.Last night in Turning, I just went to see Cheng Mo, and didn't notice the others at all.

Of course Cheng Mo also understood, the corners of his mouth raised a little, and he took a step towards Lu Yuanzhe.

"Look, not only the young master of the banquet likes you, but the target of the banquet also likes you." He whispered in Lu Yuanzhe's ear, the warm wind blowing made Lu Yuanzhe's heart itch.

"Sin, sin." Lu Yuanzhe didn't know whether to be proud or to repent, and then he glanced at Cheng Mo, "Are you jealous or are you joking?"

"Why am I jealous?" Cheng Mo turned his face away, pretending nothing happened.
