L.A.W.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Qiao Lier made himself a cup of scented tea, with the faint scent of flowers paired with sweet and astringent green tea, to drive away the tiredness in the morning.

He is used to the first thing he does every day is to read WeChat. Zhao Jiefei likes to take pictures of his life abroad and send them to Qiao Lier. Qiao Lier himself didn't notice it.

******

After the snow, Seattle is covered with snow, and the snow-covered Christmas tree is full of bells and ornaments.In the outdoor open-air ice rink, people slide on the ice in colorful down jackets.

Zhao Jiefei leaned on the railing and said to the phone screen, "I haven't had a white Christmas since I came to the South when I was in college."

He raised his phone and turned it around 360 degrees, and fluffy snowflakes fell, "Isn't it beautiful? I really want to go skating with you again."

"But no more ice skate murders." Zhao Jiefei made a face at the camera, "Tomorrow I have to take the FBI physical fitness test, wish me luck! 88~"

******

No more ice skate murders, Qiao Lier raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and whispered to the screen, "Good luck! You can do it."

"Ding~" the WeChat message was sent out, he closed his eyes and had a dream.

dream scene

"FBI!" Zhao Jiefei held up the ID of a federal agent in one hand, pointed a gun at the suspect in the other, and said in fluent English: "You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Anything you do say may be used against you in courtoflaw." (PS: You can remain silent, but every word you say will As a confession.)

******

Indianapolis, Conseco Field, home of the NBA Pacers.

"Defence! Defense!", one wave after another, one wave higher than the other, deafening, the audience held white sticks and balloons and swayed all over the field.

"The scene is HIGH!" Zhao Jiefei had to cover his ears with one hand, and put the phone to his mouth with the other. "We are on mission in Indianapolis, and we sneaked in to watch the game with everyone."

"Guess who I saw?" Zhao Jiefei pretended to be mysterious and said: "Little Qiao, your idol three-point king Reggie Miller, he has become a commentator, and I asked him for his autograph, and I will send it to you later."

"Are we still taking pictures together?" Zhao Jiefei sent the group photo to Qiao Lier, "I still remember that when I just joined your team and solved the first case, we played basketball and ate barbecue together, but we had to eat before eating Live, I hope not today..."

Before he finished speaking, a strong black man whispered something in Zhao Jiefei's ear.

"WHAT?" Zhao Jiefei patted his forehead, "Xiao Qiao, I really can't talk nonsense, I have not finished watching the ball and I have to go on a mission, 88~"

******

Qiao Lier, who has moved back to her parents' house, looked at the group photo he sent with her chin resting on her chin, and Zhao Jiefei stood next to former NBA player Reggie Miller, making a "V" gesture in a smug way.

"Pfft~" He laughed, "Idiot, can you have a little more?"

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Yi'er walked in, "This is not your colleague who went abroad."

"Hmm~" Qiao Lier turned the phone to a black screen, "You don't need to bring your baby?"

"You need to breathe while hanging your neck." Lu Yi'er, who was almost driven mad by the crying of her nine-month-old daughter Qingqing, lay down on Qiao Lier's bed, "Give it to your sister-in-law, I have to rest. "

"Preparing to let go of the single second child." Qiao Lier teased: "Before Qingqing was born, didn't you threaten to have an extra child?"

"One is enough." Lu Lier rubbed his forehead and said, "Two must kill me, it's better to be like you."

"What's wrong with me?" Qiao Lier sat cross-legged on the chair.

"Parents don't object anymore." Lu Yi'er sat up and put his shoulders on his shoulders, "It's been so long, don't let it go."

Qiao Lier leaned on Lu Yier, "Brother, I will borrow your car tomorrow."

"Okay, where are you going?"

"Tomorrow is his death day, I want to visit him."

Lu Yi'er took out the car key from his pocket and handed it to him.

Southern Cemetery.

Qiao Lier wiped the urn clean with a paper towel, and Yan Jingxi in the ceramic photo had a pair of peach blossom eyes and was in high spirits.

"How are you doing there?" Qiao Lier lit the joss stick with a lighter, "I moved back to my parents' house, when they were packing up, guess what they found?"

"The love letter you wrote to me back then."

Qiao Lie took out the yellowed letter and read:

"I haven't heard from you for a long time, and my heart aches.

I haven't seen your old figure for a long time, I don't know if your face is haggard again

Never disregard the constraints of ethics, even if you will be smashed to pieces

Never dislike my vulgarity and helplessness, even if I suffer hardships.

It is always said that although our love is not as pure as a diamond, it is also as clear as a lake.

It is always said that although our intentions are not as tough as steel, they are also as sharp as a knife.

The wind is crazy, but it can't weather our persistence in loving each other.

The rain was heavy, but it did not lose our deepest memories of each other.

Thunder is very violent, but it cannot shake our eternal promise to each other.

The electricity is very loud, but it cannot break us. We embrace each other and depend on each other.

You travel through my vast galaxy, toss and turn in my lost corner, and give me the joy of life.

I can't forget you wandering beside me in the haze, awakening my frustrated face, and giving me the power of self-confidence.

If you are in love, why not be afraid of not meeting again, you will fly wing to wing for a while, and I would like to fade away your face with you..."

Although he knew that Yan Jingxi had no literary talents, this poem was obviously found on Baidu, but it truly reflected his thoughts.From the calmness at the beginning to the choking in the middle, Qiao Lier's tears could no longer be controlled at the end of the reading. There are only scars on the heart, and only memories left in the brain.

*****

At the University of Washington in Seattle, the white and pink cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the Gothic-style campus complements each other. The 700-acre campus is located by the beautiful Lake Washington and Lake Union. Zhao Jiefei is lying leisurely on the grass, and squirrels will appear from time to time around.

"Little Qiao, isn't she pretty?" The sea breeze blew, and the pink and white cherry blossoms fell all over her body. Zhao Jiefei put his hands behind his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, "Did you know that this is a famous couple's sanctuary in Seattle."

Two birds were jumping and playing happily on the branch, Zhao Jiefei sighed, "Even the birds are in pairs, what about me? I am alone."

"Do you still remember the spicy crayfish? I have been in the United States for almost two years. Every time I go to a new place to perform a mission, I immediately go to Chinatown to look for crayfish, but there are only Boston lobsters here."

"I miss that taste very much." Zhao Jiefei licked his lips, "It's not just the taste of crayfish."

Lie Er, how do you know, what I miss is the taste of being with you.

how about you?will you miss Me?Still thinking about him?

*****

With the breeze blowing in the river, Qiao Lier came to the spicy crayfish stall.

"Madam Boss!" Qiao Lier sat down at the table at the far end, "One catty of crayfish, one bottle of Shengli."

"Handsome guy, you haven't been here for a long time." The proprietress wiped the table meaningfully with a greasy rag, "Where is that friend who likes to talk about human organs with you? I didn't see him."

Qiao Lier poured some water into the glass, put the chopsticks in it, washed them twice and poured them off, "He has gone abroad."

"You don't have to sit here alone, and it won't affect my business." The familiar lady boss pulled Jolie'er's sleeve with a smile on her face, "Sit comfortably inside."

"No, I like this place." Qiao Lier rejected her offer.

"Okay then!" The proprietress wiped her hands with her oil-stained apron, "Just wait a moment, the food will be brought to you right away."

Qiao Lieli ate crayfish while blowing beer, always felt that the taste was still a little bit worse, "Pay the bill~"

"32 yuan." The proprietress gave Qiao Lier some change, "Handsome guy, remember to come back next time!"

"Miss Boss, have you changed the seasoning?" Qiao Lier wiped her mouth with a tissue, "The taste seems to be a bit worse than before."

"No way, our prawns are very fresh." The proprietress yelled into the temporary kitchen made of canvas with a straight face, "Lao Jiang, the customer said that the taste is a bit bad, are you cutting corners again, and do it again next time I fired you!"

"Hey, don't be like this." Qiao Lier hurriedly grabbed the proprietress, "I got angry myself, the taste is a bit strong, don't blame Chef Jiang."

"The customer is God!" The proprietress turned around, and the face that was still stern just now was full of wrinkles with a smile, "Handsome guy, go slowly!"

Qiao Lier put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked slowly along the river alone under the moonlight. The shadow of the spotlights from the tall buildings opposite shimmered in the water, not because the crayfish were not fresh, nor because Master Jiang's craftsmanship had deteriorated. But he doesn't know how can one eat the taste of two people?

******

The white, tender, pink, lotus-root-like two little arms moved one after the other and climbed up to the camera, "Baji~" yelled, and the saliva gushed out of the small mouth with a "wow", and it flowed down three times. A thousand feet is suspected to be the momentum of the Milky Way falling nine days.

The dark pupils stared at the camera curiously, and the slightly raised eyebrows were somewhat similar to Zhao Jiefei. While holding the screen with his small hands, he shouted "Bah, bah!"

******

A sour taste spread in his heart. Qiao Lier, who was sitting in the dissecting room and looked at his mobile phone, pouted, and said to himself, "There's a person who gave birth to a baby in a while. The pace is really fast.”

"Is this your brother's baby?" Zhang snatched the phone as soon as he entered the door, "No, Yi'er's should be almost three years old, and this one just knows how to crawl, and it's only about seven or eight months old."

"None of your business." Qiao Lier wanted to grab the phone back, but Zhang Yi dodged left and right.

"Hey~" Zhang Yi saw the name displayed on WeChat, "It turned out to be the judge's."

"Yes!" Qiao Lier and Zhang Yi stood opposite each other across the dissecting table, "So what!"

"It's okay~" Zhang Yi smiled wickedly.

"What are you laughing at?" Qiao Lier moved a step, Zhang Yi immediately followed, and there was always a distance between the two of them.

"I didn't laugh, I just smoked." Zhang Yi tried his best to keep his face sullen, "Is someone jealous and regretting it?"

"Who is jealous? Who regrets it?" Qiao Lier picked up a scalpel, "Please tell me clearly!"

"Tsk tsk~" Zhang Yibai gave him a look, "Why don't you start to blow your hair without reading it?"

Qiao Lier took the mobile phone that Zhang Yi threw back, and from the angle of the video camera, it could be seen that the mobile phone used for shooting had been fixed on the table.

******

"Oh, my little ancestor." Zhao Jiefei came over and picked up the baby, "Please, don't kill my phone with your saliva."

Zhao Jiefei and Little BB approached the camera face to face, "Do we look alike?"

"My nephew is like an uncle." Zhao Jiefei kissed his little nephew's chubby face with a "boo", "My sister's youngest son is as handsome as me."

Zhao Jiefei held the small BB face to face, stared at him with big sneaky eyes, puffed up his cheeks, moved his mouth twice, "Wow~" The sour-smelling milk spewed out overwhelmingly.

"Little ancestor, you actually spit milk." Zhao Jiefei looked helplessly at the wet clothes, "Oh, oh~"

Zhao Jiefei's sister, Zhao Jieyu, took the child, "Hurry up and change clothes."

The little nephew who felt comfortable after vomiting gave Zhao Jiefei a "giggle" smile.

******

"What a cute little BB." Looking at Zhao Jiefei's embarrassed look, Qiao Lier still couldn't help being amused.

"Adopt one." Zhang Yi bumped him with his elbow.

Qiao Lier squinted at him, pointed his fingers and said: "First, according to the Adoption Law of the People's Republic of China, both husband and wife must be over 30 years old for joint adoption, and I have no wife; If a man adopts a woman, the age difference between the adopter and the adoptee should be more than [-] years old, and I have to wait for many years; third, abandoned male babies usually have congenital diseases, and the income like mine is only enough to feed one person , A bachelor whose whole family starves to death is powerless."

"Who asked you to adopt in China." Zhang Yi pointed his index finger to the west sky, "'Jiu' flew over to marry him, the United States allows homosexuals to adopt children."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qiao Lier turned his head away.

"It's awkward for me to say what's on your mind!" Zhang Yi handed over a red invitation card, "Remember to prepare a big red envelope for me."

"Congratulations!" Qiao Lier accepted the invitation, "Are you going to enter the city with Little C?"

"Girls can't afford to waste their youth. If you like someone, you have to give an explanation. You can't delay." Zhang Yi patted Qiao Lier's chest, "Brother, unlike you and the judge, how many years have been wasted by the two bachelors? Hurry up! Tsk tsk~”

"Why are you dragging it to me again!" Qiao Lier slapped Zhang Yi's hands off, "By the way, what does it mean to be uncomfortable?"

"Xiaobai!" Zhang Yibai gave him a look, "That's what you look like now."

"You are awkward, your whole family is awkward!"

"You continue to be awkward, I am the emperor and the eunuch is not in a hurry." Zhang Yi shook his head and walked out the door, "I don't care about you, I'm going to the criminal police team to distribute the stickers."

"Congratulations to Eunuch Zhang~"

Zhang Yi, who walked to the door, turned around and gave Qiao Lier a middle finger.
