Chuanshan

At six o'clock in the morning, Yan Lan rubbed his astringent eyes, took the mobile phone and walked to the window of the office, he pressed the phone number that was not stored in the address book but had been recorded in his mind again.After a while, the phone was connected.

"What's the matter, Lanlan?"

"Dad, I have something to ask you."

The other end of the phone was quiet for a long time before another voice came out: "This time about Zeng Cheng, I will go back with the investigation team. If you have anything to do, let me talk about it face to face."

"it is good."

"How are you? Qiao Chen said you were injured that night, was it serious?"

Yan Lan looked down at the band-aid on his arm, and replied, "It's nothing, it's just a skin injury."

"That's good, you...how is your case investigation going?"

"The suspect has been caught, the trial is underway, and the case is about to be closed."

"You are the person involved in this matter, so I have to avoid the process of interrogating you. The interrogation of Zeng Cheng and Wei Yiran is also done by the supervisor. The reason I followed the investigation team this time is because the higher-ups are facing you now. This case is very important, and I want to keep an eye on it.”

"I see." Yan Lan replied, "This case is really complicated, let's talk about it face to face. If there is nothing else, I will hang up first."

"Okay, hang up."

Yan Lan hung up the phone and stared out of the window in a daze. This was the first time the two of them had such a peaceful phone call in more than a decade.

"Boss——" Lin Huan stood in the yard and waved to Yan Lan.

Yan Lan came back to her senses, opened the window and asked, "What's the matter, Miss? Did you find anything?"

"Great discovery!" Lin Huan said with gestures, "I'll go in and tell you!"

Lin Huan trotted into the office, picked up the cup on the table and was about to drink water, Yan Lan swiftly used the paper cup on the table to replace Su Xing's cup from her hand.

"Oh, boss, you are really 'good'!" Lin Huan bit the word "good" very hard.Yan Lan conveniently rolled up the document on the side into a cylinder shape, pointed it at Lin Huan's head and knocked it over: "If you haven't fixed the house for three days, you're getting tight again, right?!"

Lin Huan covered his head and said, "Don't! Boss! You have to take responsibility for beating me stupid!"

"Don't touch porcelain, hurry up and say something!"

Lin Huan immediately got into work, and she quickly said: "Hengzhongxing Cleaning Company was founded 20 years ago. The founders Xiao Pengfei and Xiao Pengyue are brothers. One of these brothers is doing business on the surface, and the other is doing business behind the scenes. .”

"Secret business?"

"Money laundering and bribery." Lin Huan explained, "The briber signed a cleaning outsourcing contract with Hengzhongxing through a shell company, and Xiao Pengfei then paid the money to the shell company of the bribery party by purchasing materials. Earn handling fees in the middle. The same is true for money laundering, which is done through the cleaning contract of the shell company.”

"It's hard to check, isn't it?" Yan Lan asked.

Lin Huan nodded: "Yes. I left it to the Economic Investigators to figure out this part, and we can't figure it out. The colleagues of the Economic Investigators said it was more difficult, and it was considered 'dried' after paying the money. There is no problem. It should not be found out in taxation. We can only start from other aspects. Also, yesterday we rushed to Hengzhongxing to press people, and found that Xiao Pengfei and Xiao Pengyue were already in the early hours of Thursday morning, that is, you were in Dan Zhuo Si left the country not long after the accident. I checked with the airline and found that the booking time was 0:12 am on Thursday. We had just arrived at the scene at that time, and you should still be on your way to the hospital. .”

Yan Lan: "Speak directly if you have something to say."

"There is an inner ghost." Lin Huan said bluntly, "I checked the call records of the Dandos staff that night, and also checked the records of Wei Yiran and those subordinates. No one sent out a call for help or a notice that night. It can be regarded as catching them by surprise. But Zeng Cheng received a text message after the accident, the content was 'Dan Zhuosi exposed', it was a virtual number, and the server was outside the country, so we couldn't find it. The delivery time of this text message was very short. Interesting, it was after Xiao Pengfei booked the plane ticket. That is to say, Zeng Cheng, as Wei Yiran's direct leader and the so-called "protective umbrella" in the West District, knew about Dan Zhuosi's accident later than Xiao Pengfei, who had not been exposed to us at the time. All of a sudden, everyone didn't know the details until they arrived at the scene. Unless Xiao Pengfei was able to foretell the situation, it was only possible that someone who was on the scene tipped off the news. And the person who tipped off the news should have a certain level, because he didn't take it into account at all. Zeng Cheng put it in his eyes, otherwise he would definitely tell Zeng Cheng first. I recalled that during the period after we arrived at the scene and before Xiao Pengfei booked the ticket, there were five people on the scene using their mobile phones, namely Qiao Deputy, Liu Deputy Bureau, Jiang Bureau, Wu Ting and Jin Ting."

"I can't find any of the people you mentioned." Yan Lan said helplessly, "Miss, you are looking for trouble for me!"

Lin Huan squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Lan for a while, then suddenly said: "Boss, you are not kind! You already knew there was a ghost, didn't you?! You never asked me why I was so skeptical!"

"I'm not stupid!" Yan Lan patted Lin Huan's head, "Obviously Zeng Cheng and Wei Yiran were thrown out to fill the hole, referred to as abandoned sons. And you think that if there is no one on top, that idiot Zeng Cheng would dare to do this Is it blatantly turning the West End into a drug dealer's paradise? The reason why the umbrella can be called an umbrella must be layered down to be safe."

"..." Lin Huan swallowed, "The boss is the boss, so is what I said just now useful?"

"Of course it's useful. I can use it when I interrogate He Haoming later."

"Ah? How to use it?"

"His boss has already run away, how long do you think he can carry?" Yan Lan slightly raised his lips, "Would you like to come with me to witness a miracle?"

"Huh..." Lin Huan shuddered involuntarily, "Boss, you laugh so pervertedly!"

Yan Lan put away her expression and said, "Okay, let's rest, I'll call you later during the interrogation."

"okay!"

Yan Lan took out her mobile phone and sent Su Xing a message: 【Are you awake】

[Um, what's wrong? 】

【Is there anyone in the lounge】

[No, it's just me. 】

Yan Lan locked the screen and walked quickly to the lounge.Seeing him coming in, Su Xing propped up half of his body with his hands and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sleepy, let's take a nap for a while." Yan Lan sat directly on Su Xing's bed.Su Xing quickly sat up and said, "There are so many empty beds, why do you have to sleep here!"

"You warmed my bed." Yan Lan lay down with her eyes closed, "Don't go, I'll just sleep for half an hour."

Su Xing rolled out of the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, and gently put the quilt on Yan Lan's body.Yan Lan grabbed Su Xing's hand under the quilt and said in a low voice, "Call me later."

"What if someone comes in!"

"I locked the door."

Su Xing asked: "Have you not slept all night?"

"Um……"

Su Xing stopped talking and tucked Yan Lan under the quilt again, then sat quietly on the bed and watched him sleep.I don't know if it was because the case was too difficult, or because Yan Lang was completely relaxed in front of him. Su Xing felt that Yan Lang had a sense of powerlessness that couldn't go away. After discovering Zhang Ge's body, this feeling became more and more obvious. .He sighed softly, and originally wanted to move to the next bed when Yan Lan fell asleep, but Yan Lan kept pulling him, and he didn't dare to break free, so he started to look at his phone.His mobile phone is really boring, he doesn't have many friends on Weibo or WeChat, and not many people get up early on Sunday morning. The latest circle of friends he swiped up was from a college classmate complaining about the night shift three hours ago.I was bored, so I started looking through the photo album.Except for the partial photos of the corpse in the album, there are screenshots of documents. He paused after scrolling through about a dozen photos, which were photos of the back of his neck.It was uncomfortable being pierced that day, and it was Yan Lan who helped him cut off the label, and because of this, he thought of the source of the scratches on the back of the deceased.That was just a few weeks ago, and thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime away.The relationship between people is really amazing.

With a thought, Su Xing turned his phone to silent mode, secretly took a picture of Yan Lan who was sleeping, and then saved the photo in his private album.As soon as he clicked to confirm, Yan Lan moved a little, so frightened that he almost threw the phone out.Fortunately, Yan Lan didn't wake up, she just turned over because her posture was uncomfortable.Su Xing heaved a sigh of relief, put away his phone and leaned against the bed.

At this moment, Yan Lan was lying on her side facing the wall, her body heaving up and down with her long breathing, and the hat behind her clothes was pressed under her body.Su Xing was afraid that he would be strangled by the collar, so he gently pulled the hat out, but stopped halfway through the pull—it turned out that he was not mistaken the previous time, it was not the shadow of the hoodie, but the shadow of the hoodie. It was a shocking scar.A winding and raised keloid about one squeeze long, like a red earthworm, clings to the back of Yan Lan's neck, surrounded by a large area of ​​whitish keloids, almost extending to the shoulder blades on both sides. Judging from the state of the skin, it should be a burn scar.

Keloids are caused by the excessive growth of skin tissue during the healing process of skin injuries. The hyperplastic tissue will bulge out and protrude above the skin.The large keloid on the back of Yan Lan's neck was so obvious that ordinary clothes couldn't cover it up, let alone police uniform shirts, which were already very see-through.It turned out that he usually wears a hoodie, and when he wears a police uniform shirt, he wears an extra layer of base layer to cover it.

Su Xing thought to himself: He also said that I wouldn't tell you anything, wouldn't you also say nothing?

Yan Lan's cell phone rang at this moment, Su Xing quickly withdrew his hand, pretending that nothing happened.Yan Lan touched it twice with her eyes closed, put the phone to her ear, and said vaguely, "It's better to have good news..."

"Boss?" Pang Guanglong's voice hesitated, "Did I disturb your rest?"

"It's not the first time for you." Yan Lan sat up from the bed, "Say something quickly!"

Pang Guanglong: "That...it's not a big deal, but Ding Li has been discharged from the hospital by himself. Do you want to check?"

Yan Lan blinked hard before remembering who Ding Li was. He replied, "Just find someone to see if he's being coerced. If he really wants to die, we can't stop him."

"Understood, boss, you can continue to sleep!" Pang Guanglong hung up the phone quickly.

Yan Lan stretched her neck and asked Su Xing, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Two ten minutes."

"Today let Fatty stand for 10 minutes!"

Su Xing shook his hand and said, "Why are you pulling me so hard?"

Yan Lan dragged Su Xing to her side: "I'm afraid you might run away."

"Here it is again..." Su Xing raised his other hand and rubbed his forehead, "Leader, can we talk properly?"

"I'm just talking nicely." Yan Lan pulled Su Xing's hand to her chest, "It took me a long time to hold you in my hand, and I won't let go easily."

"If you don't let go, you will get a hand that is necrotic due to the lack of blood circulation." Su Xing tried his best to break free from Yan Lan's hand, "I'm numb from the grip."

"Then I'll rub it for you."

"No need." Su Xing immediately got up and sat on the opposite bed, "Every time you rub my hand, I get itchy."

"Pretentious!" Yan Lan tugged at the collar of her clothes unconsciously.

Su Xing watched his movements and asked softly, "Does your back... hurt?"

"you saw it?"

"Well, I actually saw it before, but I thought I was wrong at the time."

Yan Lan was silent for a while, then said: "It happened more than ten years ago, I have long since forgotten whether it hurts or not."

"how did you make it?"

"You are brave enough to see justice." Yan Lan stood up and stretched, "I saved a brat."

"bad boy?"

Yan Lan snorted and said, "After the rescue, the person disappeared without even saying thank you. Do you think he is a brat?"

Su Xing joked: "The police are still asking for thanks from others for saving lives? Isn't this your duty?"

"I was still in high school!" Yan Lan pushed Su Xing's head, "I said it was more than ten years ago! How old do you think I am?! I have only been a policeman for ten years!"

"Got it! You're not old!" Su Xing stood up, "Hurry up and go to work!"

The two walked out of the lounge one after the other, and ran into Sun Mingrui and Lin Huan head-on.

Yan Lan booed and said, "Oh, okay, Xiao Sun, did you really abduct our young lady away?!"

"No, no, Captain Yan, don't talk nonsense, you, you, you, you must not talk nonsense." Sun Mingrui said while looking at Lin Huan's face.

On the contrary, Lin Huan looked at Yan Lan calmly and said, "Boss, you don't really think that I will spend the rest of my life guarding you, a vase that you can only look at but not touch, do you? Or did you suddenly discover that you are actually straight, right?" Do I still have that kind of meaning?"

Yan Lan said without changing his face: "Comrade Lin Huan, I decided to talk to Sun Mingrui about the little-known things in your high school and college years, such as how many points you scored in a certain subject in the college entrance examination. The only subject in the police academy was What, and how did you put those who coveted you..."

Lin Huan pushed Su Xing to Yan Lan's side: "Baby! Pull him away quickly! Sister treats you to something delicious!"

Yan Lan looked at Lin Huan with a smile and said, "Little girl, don't argue with someone who knows too many secrets about you, you will lose badly."

"Boss!"

"Stop making trouble." Yan Lan looked at Lin Huan, "He Haoming will be interrogated in half an hour, will you come?"

"Be there on time!"

"Can I go and listen?" Su Xing asked while helping Yan Lan straighten the hat behind him.

Sun Mingrui: "Don't!"

"Hiss..." Lin Huan covered his eyes.

"What?" Su Xing looked at the two of them inexplicably. Before he could ask, Qiao Chen rushed over from a distance and grabbed Yan Lan's hand and pressed him against the wall.

Yan Lan rolled her eyes and said, "Are you sick?!"

Lin Huan carefully removed her hands from her eyes when she heard Yan Lan's voice. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were going to throw Xiao Su out."

"Let me go!" Yan Lan pushed Qiao Chen, "Why don't you join in the fun!"

"Nonsense! I saw this scene as soon as I walked over, and I was scared to death!"

Qiao Chen put his arm on Yan Lan's shoulder and asked, "Are you awake?"

"Do you think I'm awake!" Yan Lan looked at Qiao Chen helplessly.

Qiao Chen let go of Yan Lan slowly, his body was still on alert, and he didn't relax until he confirmed that Yan Lan really couldn't do anything, and cursed at Yan Lan: "If you fucking scare me like this again, I won't Done!"

"Who scared you?! Which eye of yours saw that I was going to hit someone?"

"Get out! When did you never hit someone?!" Qiao Chen said with lingering fear, "If Xiao Su is thrown out by you, she will definitely have a broken bone! I don't want to be pushed on the dissection table by Mr. Wang with you!"

"That..." Su Xing looked at several people in a daze, "Who can explain it to me?"

Sun Mingrui walked up to Su Xing, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Su, didn't I tell you that the last person who dared to touch Team Yan's hat was thrown out by a back throw. Didn't you remember?" Still don't understand? You can't touch a tiger's butt, and you can't touch Hades' hat!"

"..." Su Xing swallowed, "I made a mistake for Captain Yan."

"Don't listen to their nonsense, it's okay." Yan Lan raised her hand, "What should I do, why are you so crazy early in the morning!"

Su Xing sat in the forensic room and listened to Sun Mingrui give him a popular science about "the hat of the king of Hades is untouchable".

According to legend, it was Qiao Chen who first triggered the bug of Yan Lan. At that time, Qiao Chen was thrown three meters away. Since then, he has warned everyone in advance.Although everyone in the team knew about it, they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.Until a few years ago, a drunk was making trouble in the police hall, and Yan Lan happened to pass by, and the drunk grabbed the hat, and the drunk flew out the moment he touched the hat.It was only after that incident that everyone believed that Qiao Chen wasn't scaremongering, and that Hades' hat was really untouchable, that's why everyone had that kind of reaction just now.

Who doesn't want to talk about anything, Su Xing thought, maybe that injury was not as simple as Yan Lan said.
