Wulin City, northern Zhejiang.

When Yang Xu came out of the beverage store, a figure ran in front of him quickly, startling him and almost knocking over the milk cover tea in his hand.

He took two steps back and stood firm, and cursed the figure that was running away before he heard a cry with a crying voice.

"Robbery! Someone is robbing, who will help me!"

Yang Xu frowned, more things are better than less, and he continued to walk forward without raising his head.

Before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by the hem of his coat. Yang Xu's brows furrowed even deeper, and after a second of stalemate, he still sighed and turned around - in front of him was a sweaty girl in her twenties, with long black hair and hoop earrings, a tight shirt under her snow-white neck, a pair of trousers underneath, and a pair of high-heeled shoes about five or six points lined with burgundy toenails. Originally, she was dressed as a capable working woman in the city, but now her hair is loose, the light makeup on her face is soaked with sweat or tears, her shirt is full of sweat stains, and her small mouth is slightly open and panting.

"Ask for ...... Please, help...... I, help me. The urban beauty was out of breath, she paused, and looked at Yang Xu with pleading eyes: "Someone robbed my bag, which contains hundreds of thousands of dollars from our company, I can't lose it, I can't afford to pay it!"

Yang Xu subconsciously pulled the hem of his clothes out of the girl's hand, not daring to look directly at her. He has seen this kind of gaze too many times, from childhood to adulthood, but ...... Yang Xu took a hard sip of the drink in his hand, and then handed it to the other party with the bag in his hand, shrugged helplessly and said, "You help me take it, I'll drink it when I come back." ”

After saying that, he ran away, and his speed was better than the figure who grabbed the bag just now.

Yang Xu still went. Obviously, he can ignore it, anyway, people can't run away to catch up, and obviously he is not a hero and it is not good, but he still goes. If you really need a reason, it's to be guilty.

When Yang Xu ran away to grab the man with a blue nose and swollen face, the young girl had just arrived. She carried the high heels she took off in one hand and Yang Xu's milk tea and bag in the other, gasping for breath in her mouth, pointing at the robber who also ran away with a blue nose and swollen face, and scolded angrily: "I have already called the police! You can't run far, the camera on the road on this side and the dashcam on other people's cars have captured you, let's wait for the police station to see you!"

Yang Xu silently handed over the cut women's backpack and took back the cup of milk tea and the bag, "You order." ”

"Thank you!" the young girl happily unzipped and counted briefly before remembering Yang Xu. When she looked up, Yang Xu was about to leave, she hurriedly ran to Yang Xu and stretched out her hand to stop her, looking at the bruises on his face worriedly, "Do you want to go to the hospital to take a look." It's okay, I'll pay for the medical expenses. ”

"No, I don't. Yang Xu actually felt terrible pain in her heart, but she still pretended to be light and pushed the girl away.

The girl was stubborn, distressed and weak: "You have done me such a big favor, and you have been beaten, I will definitely be responsible for you." ”

Yang Xu couldn't help it, and he didn't bother to care, so he stretched out his hand to the girl and said, "Give me 200 yuan, and I'll go to my community clinic to get some safflower oil by myself." ”

The girl froze.

Maybe she thought that Yang Xu would continue to leave without anything, just like those ancient knights, or let her be sent to the hospital for treatment and bandaging, and then invite her to dinner again to pay off the debt of favors. But after thinking about it, I didn't expect the other party to make such a direct and straightforward request.

Two hundred dollars.

The girl was stunned and counted out two hundred from her wallet, and was about to react suddenly: "I'll transfer it to you on WeChat." ”

"No, I don't. Yang Xu quickly pulled out the two hundred yuan from the girl's hand.

The girl watched Yang Xu walk away, as if something in her heart had been sucked away, and shouted in hindsight: "Hey, what's your name?"

Yang Xu didn't respond, just waved his hand to say goodbye.

If there is fate, see you in the rivers and lakes.

The girl muttered in confusion, "That's cool." ”

……

Wulin City, northern Zhejiang, a sub-bureau.

Zhang Xiaoran watched Qin Ligang and Su Lu come in, and then sat opposite. The interrogation room was very quiet, and there were no glass walls, and before Zhang Xiaoran came in, he thought that there would be a lot of people observing him behind the glass walls, just like the movies and television shows. However, after coming in and waiting for a long time, two people came, and Zhang Xiaoran couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Qin Ligang and Su Lu had a clear division of labor, and when Su Lu opened the record book, Qin Ligang asked: "Name." ”

"Zhang Xiaoran. "Zhang Xiaoran cooperated very well," Gong Chang Zhang, Li Xiaoran's Xiao Ran. It's the word 'again' that removes the top horizontal ......"

"I know how to write!" Su Lu glanced at him and muttered in a low voice: "Noise." ”

Yes, Zhang Xiaoran was said in vain, and the baby was bitter.

"Gender. ”

"Male. Zhang Xiaoran watched the movie before and felt that the police officer's interrogation was very sticky, but now that he has encountered it, he thinks it is still a stick: "No, police officer uncle and aunt, I still haven't figured out what I committed and was arrested, you either give me an understanding word, I will try my best to cooperate if I can cooperate, and if there is a misunderstanding, let's eliminate the misunderstanding." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ligang and Su Lu glanced at each other. At this time, Su Lu put down his pen and took out a transparent document bag from his pocket, and in the bag was a mobile phone. She pushed the phone in front of Zhang Xiaoran and asked, "Is this phone yours?"

Zhang Xiaoran knew that the key scene was coming, so he hurriedly nodded in cooperation: "It's mine." ”

Su Lu pointed to the edge of the table with his fingers boredly and asked, "What's in there?" ”

"Isn't it all the same when you have something in your phone? It's just some APP, WeChat, Alipay, ......" Zhang Xiaoran was interrupted by Su Lu before he finished speaking: "Say something real!"

"Really?" Zhang Xiaoran was stunned, "Comrade police officer, I don't understand what you're talking about? ”

Qin Ligang looked at him coldly and said, "About Song Chen." ”

Zhang Xiaoran's eyes froze, his face was not the same as before, and goosebumps appeared on the back of his hand. His reactions were all in the eyes of Qin Ligang and Su Lu, and Su Lu took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "Zhang Xiaoran, you don't have to disguise yourself." The well-known private reporter and private detective 'Mr. Da Zai' on the Internet is actually a paparazzi who shoots celebrities' privacy and sells it to entertainment magazines and entertainment websites. ”

"Hey, hey......" Zhang Xiaoran interrupted suddenly, he was not angry, but his eyes were slightly deep: "Comrade police officer, it's over." You just want evidence of Song Chen's drug use, I'll be honest about this - I didn't take a picture, and I've just been speculating with him a lot recently. We are small people who have grandparents and wives and children to support, as long as we don't become traitors, we have more money, what do we do, just to make ends meet. This lesbian has said it. ”

"Huh...... Isn't secretly filming an invasion of other people's privacy? Let me tell you-" Su Lu was just about to raise but was pressed by Qin Ligang, Qin Ligang shook his head at him, after all, "invited" this big paparazzi to come today is not to talk to him about secretly shooting. Qin Ligang turned his head and smiled at Zhang Xiaoran, smiling like a warm sun like a flower, and laughing made Zhang Xiaoran's whole body cold.

"We would like to ask you to assist the police in catching evidence of Song Chen's drug use. ”

"Me?" Zhang Xiaoran was dumbfounded and pointed at himself: "How is it possible, I can only pat the car windows and windows at most, how can I photograph what they are doing in the room." ”

Qin Ligang was like a kidnapper who gave candy to a child, and his tone was very gentle: "We don't need you to take pictures, we got the news that Song Chen has a villa in Wulin City, and there will be a party tonight, and he may trade ...... at the party."

"No way. Zhang Xiaoran interrupted Qin Ligang's words: "I have been with Song Chen for three months, he is very careful in his work, it can be said that everything is very detailed, and he is not the kind of stupid character he is in variety shows at all." So if he wants to trade, this kind of thing he will definitely not be in his own villa. ”

Su Lu asked tightly, "Why?"

Zhang Xiaoran saw that the beautiful police flower in front of him had to ask himself for answers, and he couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed. said: "His villa is open in the circle, and many celebrity friends have lived in it. Uncles and aunts, you should know that that kind of transaction is illegal, and it is impossible for such a semi-public place to appear. ”

"Auntie Who's your name, you're older than me. Su Lu glanced at Zhang Xiaoran, turned his eyes back and smiled at Qin Ligang. Qin Ligang didn't go around in circles this time, and said: "Zhang Xiaoran, you are very smart, and we won't go around the bend, so let's get straight to the point-"

Well, I'll just say it's okay for you to find me, and I'm going to assign a task. Zhang Xiaoran thought to himself.

"We would like to ask you to help us keep an eye on Song Chen in the 'Escape Secret Base'. ”

Zhang Xiaoran's eyes widened.

……

Yang Xu squatted in front of the stall, holding a straw in his mouth, picking and picking at the fruits sold at the stall.

"Uncle, you haven't washed your peaches, these hairs are still so long, prickly hands. ”

The stall owner didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said lightly: "If you don't eat Mao, you can pick the nectarines on the side." ”

Yang Xu glanced at the price of nectarine, and his eyelids jumped and quickly changed to other fruits: "Uncle, how do you sell this watermelon?"

The stall owner replied without being salty: "Two pieces of nine cents and nine pounds." ”

Yang Xu knocked them one by one, and then took out the bottom and put it next to his ear to listen to the crisp sound, and muttered in his mouth: "Three pieces are three pieces, and the whole two pieces are nine cents and nine, you are stupid, you don't know that two are almost the same." ”

The stall owner sat on the chair with his eyes rolled up, the fan in his hand was fanning quickly, and a "hum" popped out of his nose: "You kid, pick a watermelon and grind it." Don't pick it, this one in your hand is good, if you want it, I'll wipe it for you. ”

Yang Xu suddenly showed a "silly smile": "Gaunt, just wait for your uncle's words." Weigh it, weigh the bananas and apples I just picked together, and erase them, uncle. ”

The stall owner pointed at Yang Xu helplessly: "You kid is really a thief, you said how much I make by selling fruits, and you still want me to do a lot of money." ”

Yang Xu's eyes suddenly tightened, and he said with a sneer: "Uncle, I can't understand what you say, what kind of big business is a few cents, don't I just want to be cheaper." ”

The stall owner didn't know what to say, showing a face of "I'm from the past", and pointed upstairs, "You are borrowing, maybe you are also working to collect debts and demolish houses." I won't say much about it, uncle, there is a lot of oil and water in these jobs, and if my uncle had been young two years earlier, he would definitely have followed you. After a pause, the stall owner lowered his voice: "Just your man called 'Monk Mao', the scar on that arm is as long as a loofah and as thick as a gourd, and a clear-eyed person can know that he has cut blood at a glance." ”

Yang Xu bit his dry lip, and suddenly felt that the place on his body that had just been beaten was faintly painful, he smiled a little coldly, and his eyes were like hooks: "Uncle, if you don't know what you shouldn't ask, say less." ”

"Yes. The stall owner didn't seem to feel the threat in Yang Xu's words, and said to himself: "Your uncle, I still want to live to ninety-nine, so I just asked you clearly, and now that I know, of course my mouth is tight." Okay, thirty-nine in total. ”

Yang Xu took the fruit bag and handed the 100 whole money in his pocket to the stall owner.

The stall owner was stunned, after all, WeChat Alipay is so popular now, who still has the whole money in his wallet. But he also received it, squinted and touched the corner bumps of the 100-yuan bill, and looked up at the watermark, "Real banknote, your uncle's money inspection skills have not fallen." You open WeChat, and the sixty-one pieces that your uncle is looking for will be transferred to you on WeChat. ”

Yang Xu silently opened WeChat to collect money. After transferring the money, he put his mobile phone in his pocket, holding fruit in one hand and a drink in the other, ready to go upstairs.

The stall owner sat back in his chair and began to chase away flies with a cattail fan again. He said seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "Actually, you are different from them, compared to them, I think you are a good person." ”

Yang Xu paused when he walked to the turn of the stairs, and then continued to walk up.

When he arrived at the door, he took a closer look around, and then probed downstairs to make sure that there was no slip before knocking on the security door three times.

There was no movement inside.

He knocked three more times before there was the sound of footsteps moving inside, and then a deep male voice asked from within, "Who?"

"I, Yang Xu. Yang Xu also replied in a suppressed voice.

"Wait. ”

Then the security door was opened from the inside out, and Yang Xu walked in sideways.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man in a black vest. He is not tall, at most 1.6 meters, but his whole body is dark and muscular, and the strong biceps on his two big arms alone can calm many people. The name of the man is very distinctive, called Luoyang, which is a city name, and the most famous one is the peony flower.

Luoyang opened the door and leaned out to take a look, and then closed it again. When he turned around, he saw the bruise on Yang Xu's face for the first time, and said suspiciously: "I just went out to buy some food, why did I hang the lottery?"

"Don't mention it. Yang Xu put down the fruit and drink, and hung Lang Dang with a straw in his mouth: "I was hit on the road, and the man still doesn't apologize, do you say I'm a good bully, beat out the on the spot and then feed it to the girl's mouth." No, it's a little bit of a knock. ”

Luoyang copied a glass of lemonade and plugged it into the straw, didn't bother to pay attention to Yang Xu's bragging, and pointed to the cabinet in the room: "There is safflower oil in the cabinet, you wipe it." The boss took Yazai and Liu Laoqi out to step on the ground, and the monk went to open the ring. Don't wait for them to come back and see you, they don't know what to say about you. ”

Yang Xu got up to look for medicinal oil when he heard this, and his mouth was still unconvinced: "What can you say about me, master, I fought and didn't lose, why do they say about me." After a pause, he suddenly showed a lewd smile and asked, "What kind of vows does the monk go out to make, meat precepts or sex vows?"

Luoyang, don't look at people who look fierce and evil, his temper is good-tempered, otherwise he wouldn't have left him to guard the house every time, and the others went out to buy and be happy. He didn't talk to him, he picked two bananas and ate them for himself. Yang Xu touched a soft nail, and he was not annoyed, leaning on the bed and changing the topic in a blink of an eye: "Brother Luoyang, did you talk to your sister-in-law on the phone today? If the cold medicine doesn't work, you can ask your sister-in-law not to save money and go directly to the big hospital in the county. ”

Chang'an is the son of Luoyang, and he knows that there is a connection as soon as he hears the name.

It was impossible for his son Luoyang not to react when he mentioned it, so he nodded silently: "It's okay, Xiao Fever, it's already gone." He didn't want to say more, obviously from the fact that his son was sick and had a fever, he couldn't stay by his side to take care of him, and it could be seen that in fact, there were some things that Luoyang was also powerless.

"What do you say......" Yang Xu leaned on the pillow and looked at the ceiling: "If it can be done this time, Brother Luoyang should be able to go back and build a house." ”

"Yes, yes. Luoyang swallowed the banana in one gulp, and put the banana peel in the trash. I don't know if he will mean that he will go back to build a house or if this time it will be successful.

"Knock knock!"

There was another knock on the door.

Yang Xu and Luoyang glanced at each other, Luoyang got up cautiously, held the big white dog's leg against his leg, and asked in a suppressed voice: "Who?"

Yang Xu looked indifferent, thinking that there could be anyone, the fat monk.

Sure enough, a loud voice lit up outside the door: "Who else, me." Luoyang opens the door quickly. ”

Luoyang breathed a sigh of relief and opened the security door - there was a man standing outside the door who was even stronger than him. The man was 1.8 meters tall, and he was holding several bags of plastic bags in his hand, and he could see the words "Louwailou", "Braised Cooking Alliance", and "Juewei" written on the plastic bags, and they were all eaten at a glance. The big slick head has a gold chain around his neck, and his wrists are also antique wooden beads and jade bracelets. I don't know what Monk Mao's original name is, or I don't know anyone else except the boss Chen Shanye and Mr. Liu. "Monk" is his nickname, and he has it when he is mixed in the road, one is to say that he is bald, and the other is that he believes in Buddhism.

Eating meat, drinking wine, playing with women's bald heads believe in Buddhism, who will believe?

But thinking about the behavior of the monks in the mountain temples on the news now, it seems that Monk Mao is not so strange.

Monk Mao looked into the house and found that Luoyang and Yang Xu were in the house, so he asked "in a low voice", "Boss, haven't they come back yet?"

Yang Xu smiled and said, "Monk, wasn't the sound very loud when you knocked on the door just now, why did it suddenly get lower?"

Being able to ridicule himself like this shows that there is really no one else in the house, Monk Mao immediately "swaggered" in, squeezed Yang Xu into the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and boasted: "The small voice does not mean that I am timid, but I give the boss their face." It's respect, respect, you know. ”

I know your grandmother bear!" Yang Xu made up two sentences in his heart, and suddenly saw the meat in Monk Mao's bag move, and he looked up and looked around the room.

Luoyang glanced at him, knowing what he was looking for, coughed before whispering: "Don't look for it, in the morning, you will follow it with your front foot and your back foot, and you can't close it." ”

Monk Mao picked up the big teapot on the coffee table and poured it into his mouth, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "Who are you talking about? Who can't keep it closed?"

Yang Xu pulled the iron cage again, searched the kitchen, bathroom and balcony, and made sure that he was not as Luoyang said, and his heart was empty for a while, and he was worried: "You said that although 'Tuanzi' used to escape from the cage, he would not leave the house, why did he run out this time." ”

"You said that black cat, isn't it just a cat, what's the big deal? When this ticket is successful, I'll buy you a ten, eight. Monk Mao understood who ran out, not only was he not worried, but he looked happy: "If you want me to say, it's okay if this cat is gone, so that I don't have to be stared at by it when I get up at night, you say how scary its colorful eyes are lit up in the middle of the night." I was scared to pee several times. ”

"Go, go, go. Luoyang knew that the cat was Yang Xu's baby, but he also looked for it in the morning and really didn't find it, so he comforted Yang Xu and said: "People say that the old horse knows the way, and I look at your 'dumpling' because I feel that I am not used to it when I first arrived in this new place, and I don't have the previous taste, so I make a fuss." Maybe it will come back on its own after peeing around it at night. ”

"It's the dog that will pee everywhere. Monk Mao said happily: "I said Yang Xu, some people have some things like this, they come and go suddenly, and if you want me to say that this is all fate, you mourn and change." ”

Yang Xu was unwilling to rummage again, and even checked the aisle in front of the door and the exhaust pipe on the side of the balcony, but there was nothing. He was a little lost and nestled on the sofa, pulling at his hair weakly. Monk Mao looked like watching the excitement, and Luoyang felt ashamed, after all, the cat disappeared when he was looking after his home. He stepped forward and didn't know how to enlighten Yang Xu: "That...... Xiao Yang, I know that this cat was given to you by your father, and after more than ten years of relationship with you, you must be reluctant. Otherwise, we'll wait two more days, and if the cat ...... in those two days? Well, the dumplings haven't come back yet, and after we finish the matter, I'll post you a cat search revelation, and I'll give you 10,000 yuan when you find the money. ”

10,000 yuan is already close to the level of life for an honest person like Luoyang, and Monk Mao was surprised by his generosity: "Crazy Lao Luo, give 10,000 for a cat, is this cat of British royal blood or has lived in the White House of the United States?" ”

"No, I still want to go down and look for it. ”

As soon as Yang Xu got up, there was a sound of the key being inserted and unscrewed at the door. Toothboy pushed the door in with his notebook bag in his arms first - he was a skinny little man with round-rimmed glasses on his face, a short-sleeved shirt underneath, and a pair of camouflage slacks and slippers underneath. He himself often says that this is the standard IT man's dress, I don't know if the IT man's aesthetics have declined quickly recently or if he has a misunderstanding of the IT man.

Followed in was Chen Shanye.

Chen Shanye is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old and Luoyang, but he is single and unmarried, and has no children and no daughters. Monk Mao said that he was the second generation of rich, and his family was so rich. Chen Shanye doesn't care about money, and he is also the kind of money that spends lavishly, but Yang Xu has never seen him ask his family for money, every time their group encounters a financial crisis and can't support it, God is always helping Chen Tianye, either winning the lottery or going out to do a good deed every day to help a rich man get the support of the rich, and every time he can tide over the difficulties without danger.

It's just that Chen Shanye's good luck seems to have reached a bottleneck in the past year, and he didn't win the lottery and went out without meeting a rich man. Now several members of the team have their own financial crises, and a month ago, Chen Shanye received an order that could help everyone in the team tide over the difficulties, so they came to Wulin City a few days ago to rent such a dilapidated house.

The last person to lock the door was Liu Fengchun, that is, Liu Laoqi in Luoyang's mouth. Lao Qi is a neutral word, neither good nor bad, the first time Yang Xu heard this word came out of Liu Fengchun's own mouth. Liu Fengchun is the oldest in the team, and he will know his destiny next year, but he has a young heart, and often takes Monk Mao and Yazai to the night bar to stay in the box all night and jump.

Although Liu Fengchun was the last to enter the door, he was the most sensitive to the atmosphere of the room, and he immediately noticed the strangeness on Yang Xu's face, and frowned: "What's the matter, why are you crying one by one?"
