ruffian detective

The place Zhanfeng chose for dinner was an open-air restaurant by the sea. The environment was exquisite and elegant, but not too ostentatious and luxurious. It exuded an expensive atmosphere at first glance.

Their seats are on the second floor, with a wide view, facing the most beautiful part of this section of the coastline.The sunset glow and the setting sun complement each other, and the distant sky seems to be integrated with the sea level when viewed from a distance.

Shen Yan looked at the menu, this restaurant mainly serves French cuisine, he immediately thought of his roommate in Paris, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhan Feng asked: "Let's order, are there any taboos or habits?"

"No, I don't have much French food, so you can order for me." Shen Yan leaned back in the chair, his eyes wandered randomly, and fell on a white crane taro placed obliquely in the vase on the table.

The sea breeze is soft, the terrace is open and quiet, and the smell of light sea water in the air is mixed with the fragrance of white palms, which makes people feel relaxed involuntarily.

Zhan Feng had already ordered the dishes, and the waiter read them out. All Shen Yan heard were words such as "foie gras, oysters, lobster salad" and so on, and silently thought of the words he said that had Money willful.

After the waiter left, Zhan Feng put his arm on the armrest casually, casually: "When did you go to America?"

Shen Yan thought for a while: "The time I remember it was six years ago."

Zhan Feng raised his eyebrows: "What is impression?"

"I participated in a university hypnosis experiment, but there were some problems during the process. When I woke up, I forgot all the previous things." Shen Yan took a sip of coffee, with calm eyes, and said lightly: "Even participating in the experiment What the doctor told me."

Zhan Feng paused for a moment, and then said "oh" after a long while, there was some surprise in his black pupils, but it seemed to be clear.

"So you can't remember whether you have any family members." Zhan Feng shook the glass water glass gently, the soda water glowed with a faint luster, "So, you don't give up and want to try to find it."

Shen Yan nodded, with a half smile but not a smile: "Maybe, but it's more of a feeling, I always feel that it is impossible to be alone, since I have lived here for more than ten years, there will always be some traces left. "

Zhan Feng asked: "Is there anyone who knows you from the previous neighbors?"

"Before I went abroad, I should have sold the house. I can't find the contract, but there is indeed a deposit in the account." Shen Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's kind of dead without evidence, isn't it."

"Is there any other clue?" Zhan Feng frowned slightly and took a sip of water.

Shen Yan looked towards the sea horizon in the distance, the sea breeze was fluttering, blowing the collar of his shirt, the slightly soft black hair on his forehead covered his eyes, and he couldn't see his expression at the moment: "Almost none, only one unrecognizable face photo."

"Take it back and take a look." Zhan Feng said in a deep voice, "I know someone in the provincial department, and I have a lot of experience in photo restoration. When the time comes, I will ask him to help."

Shen Yan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and when he looked up, he was calm and calm: "Thank you."

Zhan Feng waved his hand: "Why are you being polite, I've said to help you, and I'll definitely help you to the end. When this case is over, I'll help you figure out how to find someone."

At this moment, the waiter came over with appetizers, and Shen Yan didn't continue the topic of the case when he saw this. The appetizers were caviar and oyster cups. The colors were bright and the fragrance was strong. It looked like it was made by a famous chef.

Shen Yan took a sip and nodded in praise: "It's really delicious, I really know how to order."

Zhan Feng took a puff on the cigarette, and the white mist was lingering, the corners of his lips raised slightly: "What's the matter, don't you plan to ridicule me as a playboy?"

"I've never said that before, don't frame people." Shen Yan glanced at him and moved his fingers, "Bring a cigarette."

"You're very good at handling me now, dear." Although he sounded complaining, he still threw the lighter and the cigarette case over, "By the way, do you usually drink alcohol?"

Shen Yan asked: "Why?"

Zhan Feng: "Seeing that you smoke so smoothly, if you have a chance, go for a drink, dare you?"

Shen Yan watched him silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, and raised his hand to make a gesture of three.

"Can you drink three bottles?" Zhan Feng narrowed his eyes, "What color is it?"

"It's three ten minutes." Shen Yan glanced at him, and said lightly: "In three ten minutes, I'll drink you to the ground."

Zhan Feng: "..."

"Come on! Do you want to bet?" He immediately got excited, slapped the table and said, "On the day the case is closed, I will give you half an hour!"

Shen Yan: "Don't gamble, you are Gui Geng this year, and you still play childish games like betting."

Zhan Feng said disdainfully: "If you can't afford to lose, just say it, what kind of circle is it?"

"It's not that I can't afford to lose, but that I'm confident, and it's for your own good not to bet." Shen Yan slowly sliced ​​the foie gras on the plate, with a bit of elegance in his neat gestures, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhan Feng, "I'm afraid that you will lose and sell your pants."

"Thank you for your concern, my dear. It's not necessarily the one who loses without any pants left." Zhan Feng squinted his eyes and took a puff of cigarette, thinking in his heart, he must see Shen Yan's face that changed color after drinking. !

The two of them came and went, a very high-style French meal, but it was not quiet. Fortunately, they sat on an independent balcony, so they didn't attract other people's eyes.

It's just that this meal is very pleasant and enjoyable.

After dinner, Zhan Feng asked him where he was going, Shen Yan thought about it and said that he would go for a walk on the beach below.Zhan Feng picked up the key and put his hands in his trouser pockets, apparently intending to go with him.

There are only a few high searchlights hanging on the beach at night, the light is dim, and the sea water is a rich black color.Shen Yan walked near the place where the tide receded, the gravel under his feet was soft, and the waves gently lapped against the shore, and sometimes he could see a few crabs crawling around quickly.

"When I was making portraits before, if I encountered a bottleneck, I would sit on the beach in Santa Monica for a while." Shen Yan looked at his feet as he walked, so as not to step on crabs, "Listen to the sound of the bugle and watch The sea recedes, the tides change, everything is calm, and sometimes the problem solves itself."

Zhan Feng hummed, turned his head to light another cigarette, and asked him vaguely: "You started running around with the police when you were abroad?"

Shen Yan said: "No, this case is the first case I have really followed up on. What I did before was more in the office, which is what you call, talking on paper."

"Why? The system is different?"

"No, it's just my personal reasons." Shen Yan stopped, picked up a log stump and sat down, with a low tone, "It's just a trivial problem."

Zhan Feng took a puff of his cigarette, and found a place to sit on the log without asking any further questions, and the two fell silent for a while.

The sky in the distance was already dark, and it was impossible to tell the direction.

The evening wind subsided, and the waves quietly surged from the shore, rolling the thin and shallow traces on the beach, and returning to darkness.
