Xu Shanlan

Xu Shanlan didn't notice the senior brother's struggle at all. Although he was very jealous, he obediently got up half an hour earlier the next morning to practice.Heavy sandbags were tied to the calf and forearm. First, there was a fixed program every day-a [-]-meter long-distance run, followed by two sets of boxing, and then half an hour of horse gait.

Cong Zhanyi doing Chen style Tai Chi in the yard.Since he abstained from the competition three years ago, he has never participated in any kind of martial arts competition. Boxing is just a habit and hobby. Besides, Taijiquan pays attention to lightness, flexibility, softness, slowness and evenness. It has its own set of Taoist theories hidden in it. , It is of great benefit in strengthening the body and self-cultivation.

After a set of punches was slowly punched, Cong Zhanyi stopped his posture and got up, half-closed his eyes, he felt refreshed and peaceful, and all the troubles of last night seemed to have disappeared.He let out a long breath, and walked slowly to the porch, and saw Xu Shanlan trudging under the tree, the incense in the tea powder glaze incense burner on the stone steps was about to burn out, and a wisp of green smoke rose slowly, The sky curled up and disappeared.

Xu Shanlan used to use a small alarm clock to set the time, but Yin Yi felt it was inappropriate.In his opinion, Xu Shanlan is smart because he is smart, but his temper is too lazy and impetuous, he can't sink down, and needs some influence from the outside world.So I specially took out such a small incense burner, and burned a piece of incense every time, exactly half an hour, so that Xu Shanlan had to change his clothes when he went to school, and he always felt an inexplicable fragrance on his body.

Cong Zhanyi silently waited until the incense burnt out, then he nodded slightly, and said, "Okay." Xu Shanlan stood up straight, bowed to Cong Zhanyi, and then ran a few steps upstairs to wash up.

Xu Shanlan deliberately didn't talk to the elder brother, which showed that he was angry. Although it was not right to sleep too late last night, he still had to be angry if he should be angry.Xu Shanlan privately felt that the elder brother obviously had a tendency to develop towards the master, and he was not as gentle with himself as he was when he was a child, and he would punish and beat him every now and then.In fact, it's no wonder Cong Zhanyi, Master used to have strict requirements, Xu Shanlan didn't dare to be lazy, of course Cong Zhanyi had to indulge; but now, even if he wants to relax, Xu Shanlan will push his nose and face, it's not good Practicing.Look, it's only for a few nights that I didn't tell you, and I dared to delay going to bed until midnight.To this little junior, he should not be strict or lenient, and Cong Zhanyi also had a severe headache. After last night, the headache became even worse.

Xu Shanlan took a shower, changed his clothes and went downstairs. Cong Zhanyi was already reading the newspaper, casually glanced at Xu Shanlan, and said, "Let's eat."

Xu Shanlan stuffed a fried egg into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Brother, I'm going to be late after school, so I'm going to my classmate's house."

"Whose family?" Cong Zhanyi asked indifferently.

"Luo Yanan, I will definitely be back by eight o'clock."

When Cong Zhanyi heard this name, he frowned: "Is that the girl who went to the police station with you to testify?"

"Ah." Xu Shanlan was only focused on drinking the porridge, not paying attention to the expression on the senior brother's face.

Cong Zhanyi put down the newspaper, picked up the porridge bowl and took a sip: "What are you doing at her house?"

"She celebrates her birthday and agreed to play together for a day."

"Is Wang He going?"

Xu Shanlan looked at Cong Zhanyi, and felt that the senior brother's question was very strange: "Of course, the Iron Triangle cannot be broken by lightning."

"Yeah." Cong Zhanyi was relieved, "Bring a gift and go there, students have to pay attention to their birthdays."

"Oh, that's fine." Xu Shanlan shrugged indifferently.The most important thing is that Luo Yanan kindly invited him and Wang He, otherwise he would not go, it would be so troublesome, and he had to prepare gifts and say silly things like happy birthday.He swept the ham sausage and fried egg into his mouth in two mouthfuls, picked up the glass and gulped down the milk in one gulp, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

Cong Zhanyi said naturally: "Come here."

Xu Shanlan walked to the senior brother in a few steps.Cong Zhanyi raised his hand to wipe off the milk stains on his lips, but suddenly stopped.He seemed to have never paid so much attention to Xu Shanlan's lips, which were pink in color and as beautiful as flower petals.The things he was used to, but he couldn't do it no matter what, it seemed that all the things he had neglected in the past flooded in front of him in an instant... He narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and his eyes suddenly became deep and deep.

Seeing that Cong Zhanyi was in a daze, Xu Shanlan didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't care. He took the back of the elder brother's hand and rubbed it against his mouth, saying, "I forgot to take my schoolbag." Turning around, he ran back upstairs again.

Cong Zhanyi looked down at the back of his hand, where the soft touch of the boy's lips seemed to remain.He smiled helplessly and put down his chopsticks. He definitely couldn't eat the breakfast anymore.

What Xu Shanlan told the elder brother was not true, the three of them really got together for a birthday party to celebrate Luo Yanan's finale, but not at Luo Yanan's house, but going to the river.

The reason is that Luo Yanan has recently become obsessed with Hong Kong TV dramas, where there is always a barbecue experience in the wild, which makes her envious, so the three of them discussed, let's go to the barbecue too.I got some meat, some brazing, and an oven, but I didn’t do my homework well in advance. I didn’t know that the meat had to be fed with seasoning first, and I didn’t know how to buy some charcoal. I thought it was like a martial arts novel. A twig lit a fire.

They packed all their things and hid them in Luo Yanan's house, which was the closest to the school, and agreed to go there as soon as school was over.

No one expected that this little birthday party would not be held at all.

As soon as the three of them left the school gate, they were stopped by a police car as soon as they turned a corner.The one who walked out was the policeman who took Xu Shanlan's statement last time. Xu Shanlan vaguely remembered that his surname seemed to be Gao.The policeman surnamed Gao was quite friendly and said to them: "The transcript needs to be improved, it will be very helpful to solve the case, can you go to the police station again?"

Xu Shanlan and Luo Yanan looked at each other, and felt that this matter was nothing more than a little effort, so they nodded in agreement.Wang He was also very excited when he heard that, the police station, a place he had never been to before, it would be nice to join in the fun, so he followed suit.

If the three children were careful, if they were not so innocent, and if they had more experience, they would find that this matter was weird from beginning to end.Why not find them while they are at school?Why not remind them that parents can be notified?To put it bluntly, they trust the police too much. The police have always been the embodiment of justice and good protection, but they don't know that good people can also do evil, and law enforcement officers can also break the law.

The three children were taken to the police station. Xu Shanlan and Luo Yanan went to two rooms for questioning, leaving only Wang He sitting alone in the reception room.Wang He thought they would come out soon, so he was not too anxious. He carefully and curiously looked up, down, left, right, and right. He even counted the number of nails on the wall, but the two still didn't come out. .

Wang He became anxious. He first asked the police aunt and then the police uncle, and they all told him to wait a little longer, and he might be able to leave immediately.But the clock slowly passed another half an hour, and it was already 07:30 in the evening. Xu Shanlan and Luo Yanan had been in for a full hour and a half. Wang He couldn't bear it anymore, so he boldly walked out of the reception room, and happened to meet Hurry A policeman surnamed Gao came.Wang He hurried over and asked, "Uncle policeman, can we leave?"

Gao Yi's face was not very good-looking, depressed and annoyed, he shouted: "Go, go, go, go, why are you in a hurry?!"

Wang He flinched in fright, swallowed and spit.

Gao Yi also found that his tone was too blunt, so he lowered his voice and said as softly as possible: "Little friend, you should go home first."

"Then... what about Lanzi and Yanan?"

Gao Yi's face darkened: "They are going to be investigated." The tone of this sentence was stern, and Wang He was immediately confused. From the policeman's demeanor, he realized that the matter might not be that simple at all.His heart was beating like a drum, it was over, something had happened!His first reaction was that Lanzi was going to jail.This thought made him break out in a cold sweat, and without saying a word, he turned around and ran out.

Gao Yi let out a long breath, crawled through his hair a little irritably, took a large glass of cold water, and drank it clean in one gulp.Originally, he and Zhang Yan were in charge of interrogating Xu Shanlan. To be honest, Gao Yi didn't take the shy smiling boy in front of him too seriously.But he found out later that this boy is not as gentle and soft as he appears on the surface, allowing you to pinch him as you like.

Interrogation requires skill. Gao Yi first asked Xu Shanlan to describe in detail the process of the fight from the beginning to the end in a very flat tone, and asked a few innocuous questions at will.Then he said: "The transcripts you provided are all true, right?"

Xu Shanlan nodded: "Yes."

"However, why did someone say something different to you?" Gao Yi took another transcript that he had prepared long ago, "Someone said that you were the one who beat someone."

"Huh?" Xu Shanlan just thought it was funny, "Me? Uncle, you made a mistake."

Gao Yi ignored his rhetorical question, and only said: "More than one person said that to the police, and many children witnessed the process."

Xu Shanlan became nervous, he clenched his fists subconsciously, and his face turned cold, which actually made the young man a little arrogant, and he said, "I didn't."

Gao Yi pondered for a moment, and asked a few questions that had nothing to do with the case: "I heard that you are a martial artist?"

"Yes."

"Have you learned it since childhood?"

"Yes."

"Aren't your parents around?"

"Yes, I will learn from my master and elder brother." Xu Shanlan suddenly came to his senses, and he immediately said, "I want to call my brother."

"Don't worry." Gao Yi smiled inexplicably, as if to comfort him, "We have already sent someone to notify him."

When Xu Shanlan heard that Cong Zhanyi would get the news, he relaxed and became less nervous.

Gao Yi continued to ask him: "Why do you want to learn martial arts?"

Xu Shanlan blinked, he had never thought about this kind of question, and shook his head blankly.

"How are you practicing?"

Xu Shanlan chose a more modest statement: "It's not bad."

"Won an award?"

Xu Shanlan nodded.

Gao Yi laughed again, and he asked in a low voice: "If, I mean, if someone offends you, is rude to you, such as bullying you, will you use the martial arts you have learned to deal with him?"

Xu Shanlan said: "Of course, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others, but you can't bully me for no reason." This is what his master taught him, and he remembers it very clearly.

Gao Yi interjected, "So you beat the dead man."

"What?" Xu Shanlan frowned.

"The deceased used to bully you because of his age and stature, that's why you fought back, fought with him, and then beat him to death by mistake. Right?"

Xu Shanlan stood up abruptly and shouted: "I didn't, no, you're talking nonsense!"

Gao Yi saw that the boy was in a hurry, which was expected. He and Zhang Yan, who wrote the record, looked at each other, got up and held Xu Shanlan down, and said calmly: "No need to do this. It doesn't matter if you tell the police uncle the truth, teacher. Didn't I teach you to be honest?"

"I didn't, I just didn't!" Xu Shanlan's eyes flashed with anger, his face flushed, he felt insulted, "I told you the truth, believe it or not, I want to go home!"

"Go home?!" Gao Yi lowered his face and said coldly, "If you don't tell the truth, don't even think about going home."

"I'm telling the truth!"

"You lied!" Gao Yi burst out every word, like a machine gun spitting bullets, "Many people have provided us with clues, and you killed him. Let me tell you Xu Shanlan, if you confess, you will be lenient and if you resist, you will be strict. If you don’t tell the truth, don’t even try to get out of here today!”

Gao Yi stared at him condescendingly, with a stern voice and a ferocious face.Facing the coercion of the police, Xu Shanlan's face turned pale, and his eyebrows were as black as ink.The young man smiled, stood up from the chair without hesitation, turned around and walked out without saying a word.

Gao Yi and Zhang Yan never expected that Xu Shanlan could have such a temper, with an air of fearlessness, clearly provocative.Gao Yi couldn't hold back his face, he had never seen such an arrogant prisoner - he had already regarded Xu Shanlan as a prisoner, Gao Yi rushed over and grabbed Xu Shanlan's arm: "Stop!"

Xu Shanlan turned his head slowly, and glanced at Gao Yi's outstretched hand, his black and white eyes were too clear.Then, with a flick of his wrist for some unknown reason, he broke free from Gao Yi's grasp, and rushed to the door.

Zhang Yan was taken aback, he didn't expect the boy to move so fast, he subconsciously turned sideways to stop him.Xu Shanlan was extremely agile, supported the edge of the table with one hand, raised his breath, bent his knees, and leaped past Zhang Yan.

If this is the case, let the boy run out of the interrogation room, and Gao Yi and Zhang Yan don't have to do it in the future.Gao Yi drew out his gun and shouted, "Stop! Don't move!"

Xu Shanlan was taken aback and froze, not so much because he was frightened by Gao Yi, but because he was frightened by the black muzzle of the gun.This thing not only shows its power, but also shows the identities of the two people in front of them.Only then did Xu Shanlan realize that they were the police, should the police beat them?

Just when the young man was stunned, Zhang Yan rushed forward in a well-trained manner, and with a flick of the handcuffs, he handcuffed Xu Shanlan's wrists.Holding the gun, Gao Yi became angry from embarrassment, went up and punched Xu Shanlan fiercely, and shouted angrily: "How dare you run? Try running again?!"

If he could have known the consequences of this punch, he would definitely not have done it.
