Chuanshan

Yan Lan rushed home with Wang Jun, and heaved a sigh of relief the moment he pushed open the door of Su Xing's room on the second floor. Su Xing was still asleep on the bed, and the worst scenario that Yan Lan had imagined in his mind did not happen.He walked lightly to the bed, Su Xing curled up in a corner of the bed like a child, tightly pulling the quilt, the bedside lamp was not turned off, reflecting a large shadow beside Su Xing's pillow, That is the trace of being soaked in water.Wang Jun followed into the house, walked quickly in front of Su Xing, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to Yan Lan, "Go out for a while."

Yan Lan nodded, walked out of the room, walked around the living room on the second floor, and finally went to the balcony to smoke.In fact, Yan Lan never thought that the death of both parents would happen to the people around her.When Yan Lan's mother died of illness, he was already on the verge of death. He was barely an adult. Although his relationship with his father was not good, he was still alive after all, and he was still taken care of by his uncle. He never really experienced being alone without relatives. day.

But Su Xing... lost his mother when he was seven years old, and then lost his father. Since then, he has been taken care of by his father's friends. What about his relatives? !She actually had the heart to abandon him!Such a young child, both of his parents died, although Wang Jun has taken good care of him these years, he is not his own after all, how did he grow up to such a big age?And how to hide those pains and sorrows?He is smiling every day, but what is behind that smile?He hides his pain, does not reveal his preferences, is polite to everyone, and is polite to everyone.But when there was no one around, he would cry in his dreams and wet his pillow. He still hasn't come out of the shadow of losing his parents, maybe...he won't come out at all.

"Xiao Xing! Xiao Xing! It's me! Wake up!" Wang Jun's voice came from the room.

Yan Lan quickly extinguished the cigarette and ran back to the room: "What's wrong?"

Su Xing sat on the bed with his knees hugged, his eyes staring straight ahead, his arms were tightly intertwined, his fingers almost pinched into his shoulders.Wang Jun sat on the bed and patted Su Xing's back, anxiously persuading him: "Xiao Xing, uncle is here, don't be afraid. It's just a nightmare, it's over, it's all over."

Yan Lan hurriedly pushed the curtains open, went to the bathroom and took a towel and wet it with warm water, then sat on the other side of the bed and wiped Su Xing's sweat with the towel.Su Xing, however, acted like he was suddenly frightened, and suddenly pushed Wang Jun and Yan Lan away, rushed to the bathroom, and threw up directly while holding the toilet.

"Su Xing!" Yan Lan followed into the bathroom, "What's wrong with you?!"

Su Xing vomited and trembled, and managed to squeeze out three words after a while: "Don't touch me!"

Yan Lan: "..."

Wang Jun took Yan Lan's hand and smelled it, then pushed Yan Lan and walked out: "He is allergic to nicotine! Don't touch him just after smoking!"

Yan Lan: "..."

Yan Lan didn't stay any longer, ran back to her room, washed her hands quickly, pulled out a new piece of clothes, took out the perfume and sprayed it a few times, and checked again and again that she didn't smell of smoke before entering Suhang's. Room.

Su Xing was already lying back on the bed. After Wang Jun saw him coming in, he said, "Yan Lan, can you take care of him for me? Just now when the office called, Xie Yao's family members agreed to the autopsy. Today the forensic room is just me and Xiao Okay, he definitely can't work like this now."

Yan Lan nodded: "You are busy, I have nothing to do here, Qiao Chen can watch for me."

Yan Lan sent Wang Jun to the door, watched the driver pick Wang Jun up before turning back to the house.He went to the kitchen, tidied up the meals in the incubator and brought them upstairs.

"Su Xing?" Yan Lan carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, "It's already afternoon, and you vomited just now, why don't you drink some porridge to make your stomach feel better."

Su Xing dodged subconsciously, Yan Lan put the things on the table, and said: "I just washed my hands and changed my clothes, and there is no smell of cigarettes. If you want to stay alone, I will go out first, and you will call if you have something to do." I."

"Team Yan." Su Xing's voice was a little hoarse.

Yan Lan turned around: "What's wrong?"

"..." Su Xing was silent for a long time, then said, "I'm sorry."

Yan Lan smiled and said, "Don't think too much, the porridge is still hot, you can eat it while it's hot."

Su Xing nodded, then reached out to get the bowl.Yan Lan quickly took the bowl and said, "Let me feed you, why are you shaking like this?"

"It was too hard just now." Su Xing shook his hand, "Team Yan, please put it down, I will come by myself later."

Yan Lan scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Su Xing's mouth. Su Xing hesitated for a moment, then drank it with the spoon.Yan Lan said softly: "Your hand is used to hold the scalpel, you have to be nice to it. In the future, try not to do this when you are sad. You can grab some soft things and don't compete with yourself."

Su Xing said in a low voice: "I'm sorry Captain Yan, I'll pay attention next time."

Yan Lan sighed: "This is not a job, nor is it a task. Aren't you tired of talking to me like this?"

Su Xing didn't say a word, Yan Lan fed him a mouthful, and he took a mouthful, and soon the bowl of porridge was drained.Yan Lan asked: "Are you still drinking? I'll get you some more?"

Su Xing shook his head.

Yan Lan put the bowl aside, took Su Xing's hand out of the quilt, and rubbed his still white joints: "Don't compete with me, I'll rub it for you to make you feel better. You Just think of me as an apology for the torture I've given you these past few days."

"You didn't torture me."

"I was in Jianhai that day, was it because of the smell of smoke on my body that I vomited?"

silence.

"When you came back from HKUST, what did you eat in the car?"

"Cetirizine hydrochloride."

"Did you feel uncomfortable afterwards?"

"No."

Yan Lan's massage techniques were very professional, and Su Xing felt that his hands were gradually regaining consciousness.Yan Lan continued to ask: "Is it like today when you are allergic every time? Is it because you can't smell a little smoke?"

Su Xing: "I've been taking allergy medicine for a long time, and I'm generally fine."

Yan Lan let go of Su Xing's right hand, picked up his left hand and began to massage: "What happened just now?"

"Your smoke is too strong."

Yan Lan thought about it for a while, and the nicotine content of what she often smokes is indeed not low.

Yan Lan asked again: "What happened in the coffee shop this morning?"

Su Xing said in a low voice: "I... was a little uncomfortable at that time, so I went to take it easy."

Yan Lan didn't ask whether the discomfort was physical or psychological. In short, Su Xing must be feeling uncomfortable both psychologically and physically.

After massaging Su Xing's left hand, Yan Lan raised her head and said, "Su Xing, I won't ask you what happened in the past after today, but I hope you can understand that sometimes it's better to expose yourself than to cover up. Are you A policeman, you should know what your responsibility is. If you told me clearly yesterday that you are not allowed to go to the Second Court, then I will definitely not take you there, and I will not touch the past events in your heart. Then you Now I should be dissecting the corpse in the forensic room instead of lying on my bed with a fever, and I should be leading them in the team to sort out and analyze the case instead of massaging your hands here."

"sorry."

Yan Lan continued: "Qiao Chen is lactose intolerant, so when the team buys breakfast, they will skip a glass of milk and use soy milk instead. Lin Huan has a serious alcohol allergy, so it's natural for someone to stand in for her when eating outside. Alcohol, Mr. Wang doesn’t drink coffee but only iced Coke to refresh himself, so there is always Coke in the freezer in the tea room in the team. Everyone has different preferences and taboos. You just need to say that you can’t smell smoke, we smoke It's not a big deal at all, but you don't tell it, take medicine by yourself, endure it by yourself, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Su Xing was a little dazed by Yan Lan's words, and finally had no choice but to bow his head silently.Yan Lan touched Su Xing's forehead, and said, "It's still a bit hot. I'm tired from all the tossing and tossing just now. You can rest. I'll deal with things in the living room outside. Call me if you have anything to do."

"Team Yan." Su Xing said slowly, "Can you give me another pillow?"

Yan Lan stood up and walked to the closet, took out a pillow from the top layer and handed it to Su Xing: "There is no pillowcase, you can make do with it."

"Thank you Captain Yan." Su Xing took the pillow and stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, Yan Lan couldn't say anything more, closed the door and went to the balcony to make a phone call.

"Hello, who is it?"

"it's me."

"Lanlan? Did you change your number?"

"No, this is my personal account, you can save it, there are too many calls on the work account."

"Okay, okay! I'll save it now! Is the case at hand useful——"

"No need." Yan Lan interrupted bluntly, "I can do it myself."

"Pay attention to your safety and health. There is a lot of pressure to solve the case within a deadline, but don't compete too much. If you really can't do it, just tell your Uncle Liu."

Yan Lan: "It's almost August, I called to remind you, don't forget."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before the voice came again: "I see."

"That day I will go at 08:30 in the morning and leave in an hour, the rest of the time is up to you."

"...Lanlan, let's——"

"I'm off to work on a case, hang up." Yan Lan hung up the phone, and let out a sigh of relief leaning against the railing of the balcony.

Yan Lan walked back to the living room, pulled out the electronic blackboard from behind the sofa, and started sorting out the case information on it with a pen.The four deceased, plus Xie Yao who jumped to his death, time, location, relationship between characters, known information, suspicious and pending investigation...

Soon the electronic blackboard was filled with words and arrows of different colors. He stood in front of the blackboard and pondered over the whole case. He turned his head and glanced at Su Xing's room, and rushed over—there was no one on the bed!

Yan Lan pushed open the door, and met Su Xing who was standing at the door of the bathroom.Yan Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Scare me."

Su Xing: "I just want to wash my face."

Yan Lan: "Your complexion is not very good, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Su Xing shook his head: "It's okay, Captain Yan, I'm much better, I'm sorry to trouble you today, I——"

"Lie back to me." Yan Lan got angry when she heard Su Xing's polite words, "If you want to leave, wait for the fever to subside before leaving. I won't let you go home with a fever."

"..." Su Xing picked up the pillow on the bed, "I mean, I'll go outside to accompany you to think about the case."

Yan Lan coughed and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep for a while?"

Su Xing shook his head: "I don't have a cold, and it's useless to sleep. It will be fine at night."

"Then go and sit on the sofa." Yan Lan pulled out a gold velvet nightgown from the closet and handed it to Su Xing, "Put it on even if you have a cold, the air conditioner is on outside, and the one on your body is made of silk." , it will be cold in a while."

Su Xing looked down at the pajamas he was wearing, and said, "Isn't it expensive?"

Yan Lan smiled lightly and said, "I have a good eye, and I took the most expensive one as soon as I picked it up."

"Huh? Then I'd better change my clothes."

"I'll see you off." Yan Lan walked back to the blackboard, "There's nothing in the closet that I can't wear, and I'll give it to you if you dress well. There's no need to refuse, if Qiao Chen can dress well, it's not your turn."

Seeing Yan Lan's irresistible look, Su Xing didn't say anything, anyway, he wouldn't really take the pajamas away, just put it back in the room before leaving.

As soon as Su Xing sat on the sofa, Yan Lan's cell phone rang. He glanced at the coffee table and said, "Captain Yan, it's Sister Huan's call."

"Turn on the speakerphone."

Su Xing hesitated for a moment, then connected the phone.

"Boss, what are you doing! It took me so long to answer the phone! I just talked to Lu—"

"Sister Huan, I'm Su Xing."

"..." Lin Huan was silent for a few seconds, and then said in a rare gentle tone, "Xiao Su? Is Boss beside you?"

"Sister Huan, Team Yan is next to me, you can just say what you want, he is listening." After speaking, Su Xing looked up at Yan Lan, and then turned on the speakerphone.

Lin Huan called tentatively, "Boss?"

Yan Lan: "Say."

Lin Huan immediately began to talk about business: "I just finished chatting with Lu Huizi. When Xie Yao jumped off the building, she was sleeping in the dormitory. There are people in the dormitory who can testify. In addition, she was on the night shift the day before yesterday. When Li Leilei died, she was in the hospital and had no time to commit the crime. , She said that she had never met Li Leilei, and all she knew about Li Leilei came from Xie Yao. In addition, Xie Yao's mother had already contacted her, and the mother didn't react at all when she heard that her daughter had died. She just said something casually and hung up the phone, I have already contacted the local police, she is a direct relative of Xie Yao, and Xie Yao's body must be brought back."

"Also, Li Leilei's mother arrived at the bureau just now, and was received by Deputy Qiao. If you have any questions, let him tell you. And Zhang Jiayi, send her to the station for nothing and come back later. Zhang Jiayi and Zhang Mingzhi's The relationship is very bad. This time she didn't find anything useful at home, but the little girl was very cooperative. She said that many of her junior high school classmates knew about her being bullied, because Zhang Mingzhi once got drunk and went to school to make trouble. At that time, I called the police. The local police station only said that they were drunk and made trouble, and they fined Zhang Mingzhi and let Zhang Mingzhi go home. Help her, and for a while later, several male classmates took turns to send her home, and she also stayed at the homes of several female classmates."

Yan Lan wrote the word "Classmate" under Zhang Jiayi's name on the blackboard, and then asked, "Which school is it from?"

"Lingyan No. [-] Middle School." Lin Huan continued, "This is the key point I want to talk about. Zhang Jiayi told me that she didn't know that one of her classmates went to HKUST during the Spring Festival this year. Qian Peng, Qian Peng is a very nice person, but there is one thing, he can talk about everything when he drinks too much. He drank too much at that party, and Zhang Jiayi learned from him that there was a teacher in HKUST who was groping female students. Yes, Qian Peng also told Zhang Jiayi that luckily she didn't go to the University of Science and Technology, otherwise Zhang Jiayi's appearance would not guarantee that she would not be bullied by the teacher. This teacher is Luo Pingwen."

Yan Lan wrote down Qian Peng's name in the blank space beside him, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you think the key lies in Qian Peng?"

Lin Huan said: "Yes. This is the only clue we can connect the two dead people now. Captain Yan, think about it, Qian Peng will tell Zhang Jiayi about Luo Pingwen when he drinks too much, but there is no guarantee that he will not drink too much I wanted to tell others about Zhang Jiayi. So I asked Zhang Jia to give me Qian Peng’s contact information. I happened to be going to the University of Science and Technology to meet some students, so I asked Qian Peng to meet at the University of Science and Technology. Boss, do you want to come? ?”

Yan Lan glanced at Su Xing who was leaning on the sofa, and said, "Take Bai Ze with you, I won't go, I still have something to do here."

Lin Huan's voice couldn't hide a smile: "Boss, we have finally come here with two beautiful young men, can't you occupy them all? I won't move your beast, so you can take care of me too?"

"My phone is on speakerphone."

"..."

Beep—Lin Huan hung up the phone.
