The biggest anomaly in Pingyang County is that everything is normal, so normal that everyone seems to be traveling, and there is no friction. People from all walks of life should see the scenery and taste the local food, even though there is nothing to see and nothing to eat in this small place.

Jin Buchang still goes to the mahjong parlor every day, still loses twenty or thirty thousand yuan a day, and Huang Mazi is still happy every day. Every day at two o'clock in the afternoon, he would personally stand at the door to greet him.

The only difference is that there is an extra Ma'anshan behind Lu Shanmin, no matter where Lu Shanmin goes, this big director from Jiangzhou will follow him. Of course, Feng Xiaolan is also inseparable.

Ma Anshan stared at Jin Buchang's figure with a pair of eagle eyes, "You care about this person very much."

For this upright policeman, Lu Shanmin's good impression has always been greater than his bad feelings, and he doesn't want him to get involved from the bottom of his heart, although he knows that he can't be persuaded, he still wants to try his best, after all, this kind of people's good policeman will die one less, which he doesn't want to see.

"Jiangzhou's case is closed."

"That's for you, for me, it's not over yet."

"If you stay in Jiangzhou, you will soon be able to go further, with your merits, you will be the director of the Jiangzhou City Public Security Bureau in a few years, and maybe you can enter the province, this kind of opportunity is only once in a lifetime, and if you miss it, you will miss it."

"It is my duty to punish evil, and it has never been my pursuit to be a high-ranking official."

Lu Shanmin felt a little helpless, and said lightly: "Director Ma, you are also in your forties, and you have been in the officialdom for decades, don't you still understand that there is no clear distinction between evil in this world, and there is no black and white distinction between good and bad?"

"So I never divide it, I only recognize the law, and if you kill someone, you should be punished by the law."

"Are you out of sanctions"?

"I don't care about what I can't see, and I won't let go of what I can see."

Lu Shanmin has a sense of powerlessness when he encounters soldiers, "You are a smart person, can't you see that this is a place where you shouldn't come."

"In the land of China, there is no place that cannot be governed by the law."

Lu Shanmin shook his head helplessly, "If the law can control everyone, there will be no crime in this world all the time."

"That's why people like me exist."

Lu Shanmin glanced at Feng Xiaolan, who had been silent next to her, and her eyes averted her gaze intentionally or unintentionally.

"Director Ma, I once advised you that there are some things that are not within your ability, so you haven't thought about why your superiors easily approved you to leave Jiangzhou"?

Of course, Ma'anshan would not be unaware of anything, and he had noticed something strange long before Lu Shanmin left Jiangzhou. Including this time to apply for the investigation of Lu Shanmin, I thought that he would not be allowed, but unexpectedly he quickly got the approval of consent, which made him smell an even more unusual smell. Especially when Feng Xiaolan also applied for a companion, he felt even more surprised, but as Feng Xiaolan said, her background made him have to bring her with him. After coming to Pingyang County for a few days, although he had been mentally prepared before, although he had not yet figured out what was going on here, as an experienced policeman, he was still shocked by the undercurrent surging under the surface calm.

"Investigating cases is my job, and the more bizarre the case

, the more interested I am".

Lu Shanmin smiled faintly, "This is not Jiangzhou, in such a small place, under the interweaving of various forces, I can easily make you disappear inexplicably."

Ma Anshan smiled coldly, "I won't come if I'm afraid of death."

Lu Shanmin sighed helplessly, "If you are sure that I will not kill you."

"I have to admit that compared with those criminals who do all kinds of evil, your conscience has not been completely extinguished."

Lu Shanmin frowned, this feeling of being eaten to death is very bad, especially his current status, every word and deed will have a great impact, as a superior person, it is very dangerous for people to grasp their weaknesses and lead their noses.

"Even if I don't want to kill you in my heart, you keep biting me, and the situation forces me, it doesn't mean that I won't kill you. You must know that it is difficult for many people in Pingyang County to kill quietly, but it is really easy to kill you."

Ma Anshan smiled coldly, "Pull a hair and move the whole body, although I don't know what you are doing, but under the troubled waters, everyone is waiting for others to make a move, you don't have the guts to make extraneous branches."

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, and smiled bitterly, "Whatever you want, but I still advise you not to mess around, the people here are not something you can investigate, you don't know anything and maybe you can return to Jiangzhou alive, if you know something you shouldn't know, don't say that I won't save you, in fact, I can't protect myself."

said and looked at Feng Xiaolan, "You are the same."

Ma Anshan's face was resolute, and he said coldly: "There is nothing in this world that the police can't investigate."

Lu Shanmin didn't enter the mahjong parlor, turned around and walked towards the other side of the street, Feng Xiaolan gritted her teeth and followed. On the saddle, he walked directly into the mahjong hall.

.........

Green Lake is the largest lake in Pingyang County, in fact, it is a small pond, but it is already a rare beauty in the northwest where there is a perennial shortage of water in the wind and sand.

Instead of the willow trees that are common in the south, the lake is surrounded by tall and straight cedar trees, which have a unique layout and a unique flavor when walking in the middle of it.

The water is still clean and clear, and from time to time one or two koi fish jump out of the water and splash the water.

Feng Xiaolan just followed silently along the way, and she had never said a few words since she met.

Lu Shanmin threw a leaf into the lake, and the koi in the lake thought it was food and swam over.

"I'm like this leaf, causing the fish to chase after me."

Feng Xiaolan bit her lip and didn't speak, just hummed softly.

Lu Shanmin looked into her eyes with a smile and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Feng Xiaolan unconsciously avoided Lu Shanmin's eyes, "I, I'm here with Director Ma."

Lu Shanmin smiled slightly, "You are a girl who can't lie, and when you lie, there are many flaws."

"Lu Shanmin, I,,", Feng Xiaolan opened her mouth to say something, but she shouldn't say anything at once.

Lu Shanmin said thoughtfully, "I really don't understand how the people behind you fall in love with you."

Feng Xiaolan felt inexplicably aggrieved in her heart, she wanted to explain but didn't know how to explain, she wanted to hide that she knew that she couldn't hide it, but in a hurry, her eyes were slightly red, and two crystal tears fell.

Lu Shanmin frowned, the woman's tears were really killing

Originally, I wanted to question it properly, but looking at the tears on Feng Xiaolan's face, my heart softened.

Feng Xiaolan wiped her tears, "I really don't know anything, Director Ma wants to investigate the case of your murder of the Xue family, so I followed, I didn't expect the situation here to be so complicated."

Lu Shanmin took out a napkin and handed it to Feng Xiaolan, and said softly, "I'm not a fool, the last time you sent me to Jiangzhou Airport and told me to be careful, I knew that you treated me as a friend."

Feng Xiaolan took the napkin and burst into laughter. "You don't blame me"!

Lu Shanmin shook his head slightly, "I was a little angry at first, but if you think about it carefully, how much will you know that a rookie policeman like you who has just graduated can blow up the things in your head in a few words."

Feng Xiaolan bit her lip tightly, her chest rose and fell, as if she was making a difficult decision, and said after a while: "I can tell you everything I know."

Lu Shanmin looked at Feng Xiaolan lightly, and was a little moved in his heart.

"No, you are a police officer, you should have a firm position, otherwise you are not a good qualified policeman".

"But you are a good person, and the police have an obligation to help good people".

Lu Shanmin looked at Feng Xiaolan in a daze, her eyes were crystal clear, very clean and sincere, very similar to Zixuan's eyes. He couldn't help but think of a quote that he saw out of nowhere, 'True goodness is not to look at the world with kindness stupidly, but to believe in the beauty of the world after seeing sin.' As a policeman, although Feng Xiaolan is a rookie-level policeman, she also knows more about the evils in this world than ordinary people, and it is really not easy for her to say such things.

Facing Lu Shanmin's burning gaze, Feng Xiaolan felt that her cheeks were a little hot, and she lowered her head and pretended to look at the koi in the lake.

Lu Shanmin looked away, it was not that he didn't want to know, but he already knew what he should know, and as for more things, Feng Xiaolan wouldn't know either.

"The police should obey orders, didn't your boss teach you the rules of secrecy?"

"But,"

"Needless to say".

Lu Shanmin looked at the lake quietly, and said with a slight smile: "When I first met you, I didn't understand why your superiors would allow you to come here, but now I understand."

"I'm coming on my own."

Lu Shanmin glanced at Feng Xiaolan and said lightly: "Your arrival is enough to convey the message to me."

"What information?" Feng Xiaolan looked at Lu Shanmin in surprise and blankness.

Lu Shanmin smiled, "It seems that you really don't know anything."

Feng Xiaolan became more and more dazed, "You know who my superior is."

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I don't know, but I can probably guess his position and purpose."

Feng Xiaolan was very excited and curious, although she had just graduated from the police academy and received a secret mission from the superior organization, she didn't know what kind of organization this superior organization was, and the only task she received was only to pass some trivial information about Lu Shanmin to her superiors in Jiangzhou, and she didn't know anything about the purpose and significance.

Lu Shanmin exhaled deeply, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, he had been speculating about what kind of force was looking for the shadow, but now he knew that it was an organization in the state agency. Since this force has a government background, there are traces to follow in doing things, and there will be no bottom line.
