Urban Night Returner

Shen Gu turned on the gas, ignited the fire, set up the pan, poured oil, fried eggs and steamed buns under Zhong Leyang's gaze, filled his mouth while neatly stacking the extra on the plate, and took out ham slices from the refrigerator, Finally, I took out the instant noodles: "Call your brother to get up to eat in two hours. You cook the instant noodles yourself. Put the eggs and steamed buns in the heat preservation pot. If they are cold, put them in the microwave for a while. Tell your brother that I am going out at night. I'll bring food back."

Zhong Leyang saw that what he said just now seemed to be playing the piano to a cow, and couldn't help being a little bit impatient: "What do you mean?"

Shen Gu put on his police uniform: "I'm going to work, you stay at home, don't run around and make your brother worry." Zhong Leyang is about the same height as Zhong Lecen, half a head shorter than him, so he can look down at Zhong Leyang slightly , Sure enough, the kid was a little furious: "I was talking to you just now! What's your reaction?"

Shen Gu said slowly as he walked out the door: "Didn't you ask me to think about it? It's just a reaction to think about it."

Zhong Leyang jumped up angrily: "I must ask my brother to move out!"

Shen Gu closed the anti-theft door, and said through the iron bars on the door: "Keep your voice down, don't wake up your brother."

Zhong Leyang really wanted to punch him, but thinking about his skill, he barely held back.Shen Gu went downstairs happily, whistling all the way.Little brat, teach him a lesson before his hair grows?There is only one way to deal with this kind of child who thinks he has grown up—to treat him as a child.But—the whistle stopped slowly, Shen Gu narrowed his eyes slightly—Zhong Leyang had something to say—"Are you and my brother pure friends?"

Is it pure friends?Definitely yes in the beginning.Because of Pai Gow, Shen Gu doesn't dislike homosexuals, not to mention Zhong Lecen, everyone will think he is a good person, although he is a little money-loving, a little cunning and a little soft-hearted, but his advantages are really countless.So when he was drenched in the cold rain and curled up in front of his house, he took him in almost without hesitation, and even saw the place he rented burnt down like that, and brought him back to himself Home.Shen Gu dared to swear to God, he really didn't think wildly at that time.But since when did this thing change?It seems that it was also that night, right?He sliced ​​green onions and served noodles, the kitchen was filled with the smell of the food, and there was someone waiting for the food to come out of the pan... It felt strange.Maybe this is the so-called "home" feeling?In short, Shen Gu is very unfamiliar with this.It's not that Shen Zhiyun doesn't cook for him, but it's usually done before he comes home from school and let him eat by himself.Sometimes when the food is cold, I warm it up by myself.Shen Zhiyun didn't want to have dinner with him, in fact, she didn't want to see him very much, because Shen Gu looked a lot like his mother, and when she saw him, she would think of her daughter and feel sad.Therefore, the grandparent and grandson meet once or twice a day at most, and the time does not exceed 10 minutes, and the conversation does not exceed ten sentences.After going to college, of course he lived in the school and ate the cafeteria, and after joining the army, of course he lived in the dormitory and ate the cafeteria, so the so-called kitchen, a household necessity, was rarely used by Shen Gu.After retiring from the army, he used it a little more, but he was alone with a cat in an empty house. No matter how loudly the oil exploded in the pan, it couldn't bring out the atmosphere of the family.

So, you are actually very fragile?For the first time in his life, Shen Gu was a little confused.Just to have someone to hang out in the kitchen with, just—— tempted?Isn't it?Zhong Lecen in the Jilian Bar calmly commanded everyone, his throat was almost bitten off by a man possessed by a minion, but his expression remained unchanged.It is said that he is too soft-tempered, that he does not look like a man, but at that moment, he was calm, calm, and confident... just like the moment when he rushed to Yazi holding a copper crane in the Jinyu Building, it was so dazzling that it was hard to breathe .

The cell phone vibrated in his pocket, interrupting Shen Gu's thoughts, he picked it up to look at the number, Shen Gu couldn't help but smiled: just in time, he was going to find Xiao Heizi, and this guy called him instead.

"I said big brother—" Xiao Heizi was so busy that his hat was put on crookedly, and there was a line of ink wiped from nowhere on the bridge of his nose, "I still want to ask you for help. I haven't opened my mouth yet, so you give me a piece of paper." A bunch of tasks!"

Shen Gu sat opposite him peacefully: "It's more convenient for you than me to check people. In the year when the Jinyu Building was completed, a seven or eight-month-old baby disappeared. It shouldn't be difficult to track down, right?"

Little Heizi gritted his teeth: "I shouldn't have known you!"

Shen Gu smiled: "What about the blood test?"

Xiao Heizi took out something from the table and slammed it in front of his eyes: "What's more! The people in the laboratory department scolded me so much! It's dog blood!"

"Dog blood?" Shen Gu was stunned for a few seconds, and then he thought of the dog skin outside the elevator, "Okay, I'm done talking about my business, if you have anything to do, tell me. As long as I can do it."

Little Heizi didn't expect him to speak so seriously, so he pushed his hat and stared at him: "Really?"

"Really." Shen Gu nodded.Xiao Heizi's eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled and leaned over: "I said brother, you said it yourself."

Shen Gu smiled: "Yes, there is no such shop after passing this village, let's talk about it."

Xiao Heizi rubbed his hands, with a wretched look on his face: "Actually, it's not me...it's Captain Zuo. He called back and asked me to ask you. Last time he asked you to come here, you have to think about it." How about it?"

Shen Gu was startled for a moment, but didn't answer right away.Zuo Jian's proposal last time was definitely a temptation for him.He loves guns and is called a gun fan in the army. How could he not be tempted if he had the chance to touch guns again?What's more, after eight years of iron and blood career, he suddenly became a community policeman with a short family background. This kind of gap is really too big.

At this moment, Xiao Heizi showed the keenness of being a criminal policeman, moved forward again, and laughed: "I said, Captain Zuo said that you used to be a sharpshooter, but now you don't even touch a gun, isn't it a pity? ? Besides, there have been several injuries in the team recently, and there is really not enough manpower. Otherwise, why don't you come to help first?"

Shen Gu glanced at him: "This kind can also help?" Is it in line with the regulations?

Little Heizi smiled: "Then what, it's an extraordinary time... Recently, the case of cultural relics has taken shape. The cultural relics dealers want to smuggle things to Japan—"

Shen Gu raised his hand: "Wait, you violated the rules!"

Xiao Heizi sat back very satisfied: "Yeah, so in order to prevent me from being scolded, do you consider helping me? After all, they are the police, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are seconded?"

"Is it Zuo Jian's idea?"

"hey-hey……"

Shen Gu was a little helpless: "Is this the extent of your lack of people?"

Xiao Heizi sternly said: "To be honest, there is a lack of long-range snipers. You know that those exhibits are going to be exhibited in Japan, right? Antiquities dealers are going to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Even though those things are imitations, they are still valuable. , things are really hard to protect. What's more, Captain Zuo has already reported your materials to the bureau, otherwise how could I be seconded?"

Shen Gu's heart moved: "Go to Japan?"

"Yes! This group of people sees everything in China as good and wants everything! Damn, if you really want to let this batch of things go out, I don't think you need to be so shameless!"

Shen Gu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Heizi immediately cheered up: "Then go get the gun now! We may have to act tonight."

Shen Gu thought of Zhong Lecen: "I have to make a phone call back."

Zhong Lecen was woken up by the creaking sound of the bedroom door opening, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhong Leyang's head poking in: "Brother, get up and eat."

Instant noodles are still delicious after cooking, especially when you are hungry.Zhong Lecen picked up his meal and asked, "Where's Shen Gu?"

Zhong Leyang rolled his eyes: "He said he has something to do, so he won't come back for dinner tonight. Brother, it's such a nice day, let's go out for a walk? Didn't you say that there is a bar that wants to do something? What's going on?"

Zhong Lecen smiled: "The bar opened by a friend of mine turned out to be a cemetery, and it was always too dark. I'll visit it once every three months, it's safer."

"Then take me there."

"...that place is..."

"I know, isn't it GAY? Hey, brother, you didn't find a suitable one there?"

Zhong Lecen blushed slightly: "Nonsense!"

Zhong Leyang smirked: "Then why are you blushing?"

Zhong Lecen helplessly tapped him with his chopsticks: "Okay, okay, come with me later. Since Shen Gu won't come back, let's eat outside."

There are not many people in Ji Lian at this time, and it is very quiet, often only the sound of Fei Fei mixing wine and crushing ice and low music.But today, before Zhong Lecen entered the door, he heard the sound of the piano coming from inside.The doorman ran out at six o'clock and whispered, "Brother Le Cen? The boss is in a bad mood today."

Zhong Lecen was a little surprised: "Konghua is here?" Konghua usually comes after seven o'clock.

Six o'clock nodded melancholy: "Brother Le Cen, this is—"

"My brother, Le Yang. What's wrong with Konghua?"

Greeted Zhong Leyang at six o'clock, pulled Zhong Lecen aside and whispered, "I heard that the boss's former boyfriend came back from France..."

Zhong Lecen nodded clearly.They knew a little bit about Konghua.In college, Konghua had a boyfriend, a classmate, who was as good as glue, and was admitted to the same hospital after graduation.But even with such vows, they were no match for the reality—the man went on a blind date under the pressure of his family's forced marriage, and met a girlfriend with a good background who could send him to study abroad, so they both went to France.This is actually ridiculous, because Konghua's family is more prominent than that woman's. If Konghua hadn't fallen out with his family, he would have been in the United States by then.As a result, Konghua still went to the United States for further studies, and it took about three years. After returning, he opened a private clinic and opened this bar. Although the relationship with his family is no longer so tense, it has not been very good.Zhong Lecen and Six O’clock only got to know Konghua later. No one knows what he was like before, and no one knows how he spent those three years in the United States. They only know that Konghua began to believe in Buddhism when he went to the United States. , and gave himself the name "Konghua".

There is a piano in Ji Lian Bar, but it is not used often because the place is too small, so only half of the poor grand piano is exposed outside most of the time, and a waterproof tablecloth is spread on it, which is used as a showcase for Fei Fei's new works.Now the tablecloth has been lifted off, the piano cover is lifted majesticly, and the sad melody of "Love Story" echoes in the whole bar, coupled with the dim light, it makes people feel depressing.Xiaoxi also came, and he and Feifei were squatting on the edge of the bar to discuss countermeasures, when they saw Zhong Lecen, they ran over quickly: "Brother Lecen, you are here, the boss has been playing for three hours, tossing and turning just like this The first song, isn't this killing people?"

Zhong Lecen frowned.In the dim light, Kong Hua was wearing a light blue shirt and white suit sitting next to the silver piano. It was really an eye-catching picture, but with the repeated melody, it gave chills down the spine.Feifei was still muttering: "Even if you change the song to a different tune... the guests will come after a while. If you keep doing this, who dares to sit for a long time?"

Zhong Leyang was listening, and burst out laughing.Feifei glared at him angrily, but he patted Feifei on the shoulder nonchalantly: "Do you have a violin?"

There is indeed a violin, and there are fife and trumpet, etc., which are all placed here by the guests, so that they can play a song for themselves, but they are not often used, so they are all placed in the utility room at the back.Zhong Leyang looked at the violin Feifei brought with disgust, tried the bow casually, and shook his head: "You also use this kind of thing, really—"

Feifei said angrily: "It's good to have it, what do you want this thing for, young master?"

Zhong Leyang tuned the strings, and said casually: "You can tell just by looking at it." He put the piano on his shoulder, and played together with the sound of Konghua's piano.Kong Hua was slightly startled, glanced sideways, but didn't stop.The bright tone of the violin and the rich sound of the piano are harmoniously intertwined, filling the entire bar.While playing the piano, Zhong Leyang walked slowly towards Konghua.He walked very slowly, only a few dozen steps from the door to the piano, but when he walked to Konghua's side, the two had already played "Love Story" three times.

Feifei scratched her head a little strangely: "Why do I feel that the tone seems to be different from just now?"

Zhong Lecen just laughed.Of course it's different. In these three ensembles, Zhong Leyang doubled the tempo.Anyone who has watched "Big Watch" will remember that piece of mourning. When the conductor triples the tempo, the effect is simply horrifying.Although Zhong Leyang didn't speed up the tempo that much, it was enough to change the atmosphere.And Konghua was still immersed in the music, unaware that he had changed the tune.

After Zhong Leyang played "Love Story" for the fourth time, Konghua finally realized something was wrong, but the sad atmosphere just now had been diluted, so he stopped helplessly.Zhong Leyang smiled at him: "Don't stop, you can hurry up."

Zhong Lecen came over with a smile and pulled his younger brother back: "Kong Hua, this is my younger brother, Le Yang."

Konghua also showed a little surprised expression: "This is your younger brother?"

Zhong Lecen has long been used to this expression, and nodded with a smile: "Yes. He is much better than me. Leyang, take a good look at this place, can you solve it completely?"

Zhong Leyang looked at the bar with the eyes of an expert: "The layout is not bad, but the corners of the room are the most yin, especially the back room. I have to look at it to know what is suitable."

Kong Hua stood up helplessly: "Then I will trouble you, come with me."

Feifei looked at Zhong Leyang's back with "admiration": "Brother Le Cen, is this really your brother?"

Zhong Lecen was funny.Since he has a younger brother, he is happy to be at ease.Feifei brought a glass of drink in a doggy manner: "Brother Le Cen, try this—heavenly rain."

Zhong Lecen raised the cup to look, and there were golden flesh floating in the light green liquid, which really looked like raindrops falling from the sky: "Orange orange?"

"I peeled it out by hand!" Feifei was very dissatisfied, "I will serve that kind of thing for customers to drink?"

Zhong Lecen watched carefully: "Alcoholic?" He knew he didn't have the capacity for alcohol.

Feifei puffed up her cheeks: "Try it!"

Zhong Lecen smiled, just as he put the cup to his mouth, a guest walked in with a handbag in his arms.Zhong Lecen glanced over, the wine glass stopped - he knew that person, Zuo Jian.

Zuo Jian shook his head at Zhong Lecen imperceptibly, and walked straight to the edge of the bar: "A glass of beer. What is this?"

Zhong Lecen didn't answer, Feifei didn't see the gesture between them, and replied very dutifully: "This is our new trace alcoholic drink, Paradise Rain."

"It looks pretty, give me a drink." Zuo Jian put the handbag on the bar, the mouth of the bag moved, and a head stuck out, with a small wet nose and round black eyes.Xiaoxi saw it at a glance and exclaimed in surprise: "Puppy!"

"Hurr—" the dog made a displeased sound from its throat.Zuo Jian unceremoniously knocked on the dog's head, and the dog became honest.

Xiaoxi has a paranoid love for furry things, but she has asthma, and her family is determined not to allow pets.Now seeing a dog, my eyes are straight: "Is it a Pomeranian? Oh, it's so cute!"

The dog retracted its head, unwilling to be touched.But Zuo Jian pushed the bag directly to Xiaoxi: "Miss likes dogs?"

Zhong Lecen was not in the mood to listen to Xiaoxi's answer.He had already seen someone shaking at the door of the bar, and two more people walked in.He remembered that Shen Gu said that Zuo Jian might be on a mission, so these people...

"Heavenly Rain" came up, Zuo Jian took a sip and nodded: "It tastes good, but it's a bit sweet."

Feifei immediately took out a notebook: "Is that so? It may be that the pulp has too much sugar and needs to be improved."

The dog was impatient to be touched by the creek, and it purred again, Zuo Jian casually knocked it on the head again: "I have to go to the pharmacy opposite, they may not allow pets to enter, so I can store them here for a while." ?"

Xiaoxi was having fun, and replied without raising his head, "Yes."

Zuo Jian thanked him, took out a banknote and put it on the counter, when he got up, he glanced at Zhong Lecen, and walked out of the bar.As soon as he left, the two men immediately walked to the edge of the bar, roughly dragged the dog and the bag over, and turned them over with their hands.Feifei exclaimed, "Why are you digging through other people's stuff?"

Zhong Lecen gently pulled Feifei, and reached out to hug the dog that was baring its teeth.The two men found nothing in the bag, picked up the banknotes and looked carefully at the light, and finally turned and left without finding anything.Zhong Lecen held the dog in his arms and looked at them. He stuck his fingers into the fluffy dog's fur, and the dog lifted up one of its hind legs cooperatively, so Zhong Lecen felt a small paper roll in the nest at the base of the dog's leg.His first reaction was not to take it out but to touch the phone, but it was empty: "Where is my phone?"
