哦,?这是最近的日内瓦车展上的布加迪Chiron?Sport吧,8.0升四涡轮增压W16发动机,配7速双离合变速箱,?最大马力1500Ps。普通版车型售价299万美元起……

Just... tnd drove this car to investigate the case? Not enough gas money, right? !

Jiao Yang hurried over, opened the passenger door and got in.

Lu Yuanli didn't care, took out two oil paper bags from the driver's seat that started at $300 million, and threw one to Jiao Yang, "Eat something on the road."

Jiao Yang opened it and saw, fried chicken cutlet sandwiched with sesame seed cakes... This is really a combination of Chinese and Western!

Jiao Yang took a bite and it was delicious, and most importantly, it was still hot.He asked casually, "Where did it come from? The taste is not bad, but I don't know if it's hygienic or not."

Lu Yuanli said: "There is a new small restaurant run by Chinese people in the school. There is a takeaway window. There is a long queue every day. I, Gasser, already brought it over."

"It's obviously taken by brushing your face?"

Jiao Yang smiled and said, "Now you know that Chinese people have good faces?"

"I know what you mean."

Lu Yuanli bit the fried chicken cutlet, "But as China becomes more and more powerful, the lives of Asians here will not be easier. Especially the Chinese,? On the contrary, it may be more difficult to survive."

Jiao Yang paused, patted the back of his hand and said, "Then when we finish investigating the case, you can move your family back to China with me!"

"Don't look for opportunities to brainwash anytime and anywhere."

Lu Yuanli smiled and said, "Don't forget that I taught most of your tricks."

"Just..." Jiao Yang said with a smile, "Isn't it okay for the disciples of the church to starve to death of Master?"

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Lu Yuanli said, "What clues did you find on the puzzle?"

Jiao Yang raised his phone at Lu Yuanli, "I think I finally found out what the puzzle is about."

The two drove all the way to the CBI headquarters in Los Angeles.

Both Kevin and Blanco are off work and have been waiting for them.

Jiao Yang asked Kevin for a projector, and sent the few pictures he found while waiting for Lu Yuanli to the big screen one by one.

The first is a red maple tree.Jiao Yang enlarged one of the selected leaves so that they could see the veins of the leaves clearly, and then asked Kevin to take out the red puzzle piece for comparison.Although blurred by soaking in water, the lines on the red puzzle are very similar to the leaves of red maple.

The second image is an oak tree.Jiao Yang deliberately found the enlarged picture of the oak fruit.Next to it is a side-by-side comparison of the first piece of the puzzle they found.

"Gentlemen,"

Jiao Yang said: "I found out by accident today that the red puzzle piece may be red maple leaves. Oak trees are often associated with maple trees and linden trees. But the leaves are not what they appear on the puzzle. So, we didn't It was found that this may be the fruit of the oak tree.

Traditionally here, the oak tree has been regarded as a mystical tree, believed to have magical and strong powers.Symbol of strength, glory and indomitable.The earliest wizards were called 'Druids', which means to know the oak tree.So, I think the meaning of puzzles seems to be getting more and more interesting.Are there any famous oak tree landscapes here? "

"Of course there is!"

Blanco said: "Although the tree is a national tree, it is also our state tree. The most famous oak tree landscape in the country is basically in California. For example, Professor Jeffrey of your school calculated it many years ago. An old oak tree on the Ba Mountains has a history of more than 13 years. There is also an oak tree manor with 000 old oak trees over 12 years old."

Jiao Yang said: "If the distance is not very far, can we visit these two places?"

"Of course you can. These are tourist attractions. But..." Blanco said, "Does it really have something to do with these two places?"

Jiao Yang said: "I have a little impression of this oak tree manor. Is there a clear record in it, the price of black slaves at that time, there were more than 100 black slaves serving in the manor, or planting sugar cane?"

Kevin showed some embarrassment and said, "Fortunately, I don't have any black colleagues here! Otherwise, you might be beaten, ah no, with your skills, maybe my office will suffer!"

Seeing that the three of them were getting further and further apart, Lu Yuanli had no choice but to say, "Jiao Yang, just tell me what you think."

Jiao Yang hesitated and said: "So far, the three people killed are all white. If the puzzle is really pointing to Oak Manor, will it... have something to do with the black slave trade back then? For example, when the black slave trade came from Since the 15th century, triangular trade has been a flight of death."

When Jiao Yang said it himself, he felt a little bit, could it be that his brain is too big?Revenge for race, this kind of reason, sounds like the plot of movies and novels.

Lu Yuanli said: "I don't think so. The time is too long. You also said that this cruel history of blood and tears began in the 15th century, and now it is the 21st century. Even if there were victims back then, it would be very difficult. Continuing to the present, being strong and well-designed to avenge the hatred of the past."

"Has it been a long time?"

Jiao Yang retorted him for the first time: "The black slave trade was officially abolished in 1889, and it was completely banned in the early 20th century, and it has only been about 100 years now."

However, Blanco obviously didn't think like Lu Yuanli did.Blanco said: "It's not completely impossible. It's hard to say if it's involved in these things. In the next state, a teacher accidentally mentioned a religious prophet of a foreign race because it was a joke. , was killed. However, I think this reason is too far-fetched to determine the motive of killing based on only one possible acorn fruit on the puzzle.”

Jiao Yang said: "This is just an idea of ​​mine, I will find a way to confirm my guess."

On the way back, Lu Yuanli looked at Jiao Yang, but said nothing.

Jiao Yang wanted to say it, but felt bad.

It wasn't until returning to Lu Yuanli's villa that Jiao Yang stopped him and said, "Just now, did you really think that my idea was impossible? Or did you just say that on purpose because of the feelings of Kevin and Blanco?"

Lu Yuanli looked at him with raised eyebrows and said, "First, I didn't say it was impossible just now, I just said it was unlikely. Second, strictly speaking, Kevin is my colleague and Blanco is my colleague. And , we are handling the same case now, we are all on the same boat. Of course we should work together, I will take a little care of their emotions, is there any problem?"

"You take into account their emotions, so who will take into account the feelings of the victims?!"

Jiao Yang said: "No information such as the murderer's DNA was found at the scene, and there are no other useful traces. There are only a few inexplicable footprints, which may have been deliberately disguised by the murderer. There are no valuable clues now, and any guesses are impossible. You may find the dawn of solving the case. Three lives, you actually stopped me from speaking out of consideration for the emotions of the white policeman in charge of solving the case!"

"Third, I didn't stop you from talking."

Lu Yuanli said: "I know, this is already the third series of murders. The seven or eight serial murders that you have praised to Kevin and ridiculed him can't be solved. It is true that the case needs to be solved as soon as possible, but you should not Personal emotions are put in the case..."

"You mean, for the sake of face, I deliberately made a far-fetched statement and created clues?"

Jiao Yang said angrily: "Is this how you imagined me? As a colleague, I never and would never mock Kevin. I am also a policeman, how could I mock other policemen?!"

Lu Yuanli said, "You can't mock other policemen, but you can disarm them?"

"Lu Yuanli!"

Jiao Yang said angrily: "Don't go too far! You know who I fought for that day!"

Lu Yuanli turned his head to the side and stuck out his tongue, then came over and put his arms around Jiao Yang's shoulders, saying, "Of course I know, I was just joking with you! Look, you will feel very uncomfortable when I say that." uncomfortable.

The sound from Kevin and Blanco just now was of course even harsher.You have found clues that can be investigated, which is of course very good, but it is entirely possible to say that it is more tactful and skillful. "

"Skill ass!"

Jiao Yang has already discovered the steps that Lu Yuanli gave him.However, Jiao Yang said unhappily: "The cruel black slave trade that has lasted for hundreds of years has cost Africa at least [-] million people. What I said is the truth, what can't I say?!"

"That's not what it means, dear."

Lu Yuanli said: "I have lived here for 30 years. I know some things better than you. Country M is such a diverse society. Many things are not what you imagined. I can feel that you are crusading others and condemning those Slave owners, bring justice to black people, but what Kevin said is right, if there were black people present at the time, they would probably think you were provocative when they heard the word black slave you just said, and they would jump up and beat you directly."

"So, you're still doing it for me?"

Jiao Yang paused, "Then I'm still sighing, that Professor Lu who was filled with righteous indignation at the police station and accused who is the real owner of this land and who is the invader, where did he go?!"

"Still."

Lu Yuanli smiled and said: "It's just that I now know that these presumed justice cannot solve practical problems. Let's go see Professor Jeffrey tomorrow. You are right, this is a good way of thinking, whether it is Oak or maple, I think Professor Geoffrey knows better than we do. But now..."

Lu Yuan glanced at Jiao Yang's left upper arm indiscriminately, "It seems that we should go to the infirmary first."

Well, some people are cold on the outside and hot on the inside.However, he still loves you, loves you very much!Jiao Yang smiled and said, "No need, someone has already bandaged me just now."

"That's why I'm going to the infirmary."

Lu Yuanli looked at the sky sadly and said, "You think I can't see that it's another woman's handkerchief?"

It turned out to be sour, sample!Jiao Yang laughed and said, "Honey, congratulations, you finally found your sense of crisis! Did you know? Just like losing the sense of pain, taste, and smell, not having a sense of crisis is also a disease!"

Lu Yuanli said, "What's the disease? Is it too conniving that you get paranoid?"

"of course not!"

Jiao Yang put two fingers in his mouth and whistled loudly, "Thomas is deaf!"

The author has something to say: Lu Yuanli: Feeling too good about yourself is indeed a disease.

Jiao Yang: I feel that someone is connoting himself...
