Chapter 63: Brotherhood
The bright moonlight poured into the police dormitory through the window, and everything in the room was clearly visible.
Lu Hehuan, who was asleep, seemed to be haunted by nightmares, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he muttered to himself in pain, "Ling Yan, don't go, Ling Yan ......"
In Lu Hehuan's dream, the morning light was faint, a soft mist rose from the empty dock, and the distant sky was smeared with a soft milky white, and the white mist rendered everything blind and psychedelic.
Ling Yan stood on a small boat and looked at Lu Hehuan standing on the shore.
"Ling Yan, don't go, Ling Yan ......" Lu Hehuan looked anxious.
"Lu Hehuan, you don't care about me at all." Ling Yan's cold face had a touch of disappointment.
"How could I not care about you? Ling Yan, there must be some misunderstanding between us, come back quickly. β
Ling Yan shook her head resolutely, "If you cared, I wouldn't leave, and I wouldn't leave me alone to go to Great Britain." β
Lu He was anxious, and shouted at Ling Yan in a hissing voice, "I left so that we could be together!" For the past three years, I've been thinking about you every moment of every day! β
Ling Yan let out a short sneer, "Really? β
Lu Hehuan hurriedly reached into the pocket of his clothes, "Don't believe it, I have always put our photos on my body, I look at you every day, and I recall the days we were together every day......" He flipped through it for a long time, but he didn't find the photo. Lu Hehuan became more and more panicked, "Why is the photo missing, the ...... I have been putting on my body"
Ling Yan smiled disappointedly, "Lu Hehuan, I won't believe you anymore." β
As soon as the words were finished, the boat began to sail off into the distance.
Lu Hehuan walked along the pier, chasing Ling Yan's boat while shouting, "Ling Yan, don't go ......"
The cold wind was cold, and Ling Yan was moved to shed bitter tears, "Lu Hehuan, goodbye ...... forever"
Lu Hehuan stubbornly caught up, "Don't, I don't want to say goodbye forever......"
Lu Hehuan struggled in the nightmare in pain, he shook his head slightly, and the sound from his mouth changed from a muffled murmur to an anxious shout.
"Don't, don't...... I don't want to say goodbye! β
Lu Hehuan sat up abruptly, panting heavily. Ying Xi on the side was awakened by Lu Hehuan and sat up.
"What's wrong?" Ying Xi stared at Lu Hehuan sleepily.
After a while, Lu Hehuan calmed down and looked at Ying Xi in a low mood, "I dreamed of Ling Yan." β
Ying Xi breathed a long sigh of relief disappreciatively, "You don't dream of her every day. β
"I dreamed that Ling Yan was gone and never came back."
Ying Xi patted Lu Hehuan's shoulder to show comfort, "Don't think nonsense, go to sleep." β
Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi lay down again, but neither of them could sleep.
Ying Xi finally couldn't help but break the silence, "Can't you sleep?" β
"Hmm."
Ying Xi simply sat up when he heard this, and gave Lu Hehuan an inquiring look, "Do you want to have a drink?" β
"I said I wouldn't drink it!" Lu Hehuan was a little irritable.
As the night grew darker, the lights in the police station dormitory suddenly turned on.
There were a few simple side dishes and a bottle of liquor on the small table, and Ying Xi sat opposite Lu Hehuan.
Ying Xi poured wine for himself and Lu Hehuan, raised his glass and clinked glasses with Lu Hehuan.
"Haven't you heard of 'drawing a knife and cutting off the water, the water will flow more, and raising a glass to eliminate sorrow is even more sorrowful'?" Lu Hehuan didn't seem to be in a high mood.
Ying Xi smiled disapprehantly, "I've only heard 'there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow is sorrowful and tomorrow is worried'." β
Lu Hehuan thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement, "That makes sense." β
"Cheers." Ying Xi said it, and drank it all with Lu Hehuan.
A glass of wine not only failed to make Lu Hehuan forget his boredom, but reminded him of a lot of sad past, he sighed in annoyance, "Inspector Ying, I really regret going to study in Great Britain, if I don't leave, maybe Ling Yan won't have an accident." β
"There are so many ifs." Ying Xi disagreed.
"Even if something happens, I will protect Ling Yan and won't let her be wronged." Lu Hehuan said in the end, his expression couldn't help but become trance-like.
Ying Xi saw Lu Hehuan blaming himself so much, he was silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth to comfort: "Some things may be destined in the dark, and no one is to blame." It's all her life. As he spoke, he raised his glass and clinked glasses with Lu Hehuan.
Lu Hehuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "I once promised Ling Yan that I would protect her for the rest of my life, but now, I even lost the only photo with her, I'm really useless, I'm sorry for Ling Yan." β
"Don't be stupid, just because of your infatuation with Ling Yan, you don't feel sorry for her."
"Inspector Ying, you say, why didn't Ling Yan come back to me?" Lu Hehuan cast an inquiring glance at Ying Xi, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist at some point.
Ying Xi thought for a while and looked at Lu Hehuan with a serious face, "Since you love Ling Yan so much, why did you leave her in the first place?" I really don't understand people like you, what's good abroad, you have to go out and learn from foreign devils. β
Lu Hehuan sighed, "I also went to Great Britain for the future of me and Ling Yan, and my father said that only if I agreed to go to Great Britain to stay in the ocean, he agreed that I would be with Ling Yan." β
"So that's ......" Ying Xi nodded suddenly in realization, "Then, does Ling Yan know?" β
Lu Hehuan shook his head again and again, "I was afraid that Ling Yan would know that I was going to stay abroad for her and had a burden in my heart, so I didn't tell her." β
Ying Xi drank all the wine in the cup and shook her head helplessly, "Lu Hehuan, you really don't understand women, do you think that if you leave directly without telling Ling Yan the reason, she will have no burden?" Women are cranky, and she may think that you don't love her, or don't love her enough. β
Lu Hehuan was stunned, "Will it?" I thought she would believe in me the way I believed her. β
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, how can I tell you......" Ying Xi was speechless for a while.
"Just say it."
Ying Xi took a sip of wine and took Fang Cai's words, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to understand this piece of wood......"
"How could I not understand something you can understand?" Lu Hehuan interrupted Ying Xi angrily.
Ying Xi smiled, "You also know, I am a frequent visitor to Paramount Gate, I am familiar with those dancing girls, and I also know some women's minds...... In fact, women are different from the things we men care about, we often care about the outcome of things, but women are not, they care about the process and details. β
"What do you mean?" Lu Hehuan didn't know why.
"It's like the matter between you and Ling Yan, what you care about is the outcome of this matter, that is, whether you can be with Ling Yan in the end, but Ling Yan values everything you do in the process more.
Lu Hehuan shook his head, "I still don't understand." β
"How can I tell you......" Ying Xi scratched his ears and thought about it, "That is, you may think that no matter what you do, as long as you can be with Ling Yan, but what Ling Yan cares about is exactly what you do." β
"Ling Yan doesn't care, can she be with me?" The more Lu Hehuan listened, the more confused he became.
"Of course I care, but what you do in the process may hurt Ling Yan's heart, and she may make a wrong decision because of what you did......" Ying Xi paused and looked at Lu Hehuan thoughtfully, "For example, if she doesn't come back to you, it may be because she thinks you don't love her enough." β
Lu Hehuan lowered his head and thought about it, and cast an inquiring glance at Ying Xi, "Inspector Ying, if you were me, what would you have done at the beginning?" β
Ying Xi pondered for a moment, "I will tell Ling Yan about this matter as it is, and then discuss with her whether to go to Great Britain to stay abroad." β
Lu Hehuan was stunned.
Ying Xi poured himself a drink and joked in a playful tone, "Besides, this matter is clearly your father's delaying tactic, and he has no intention of letting you marry Ling Yan at all." β
"My dad won't lie to me." Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi in disbelief.
Ying Xi couldn't help but glance at Lu Hehuan sideways, "Silly boy, your father just knew that you had a tendon, so he got you abroad, otherwise would you and Ling Yan be separated?" β
Lu Hehuan gritted his teeth, picked up the wine bottle depressedly and drank it directly.
Ying Xi took out another bottle of wine from under the table with a disgusted face, and while pouring himself wine, he complained, "I still said that I don't drink it, it's a lot of drink." β
Lu Hehuan drank and drank, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Ying Xi was a little panicked when she saw this, and blinked incredulously, "What's wrong?" If you can't drink it, don't drink it, why do you still drink it in and out at the same time? β
Lu Hehuan didn't speak, drank all the wine in the bottle, and reached out to grab Ying Xi's wine again.
Ying Xi hurriedly held down the wine bottle and persuaded Lu Hehuan, "Don't drink too much, borrow wine to drown your sorrows." β
Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi with tears in his eyes, "Didn't you say that tomorrow's sorrow will come tomorrow's worry?" Let me be happy today. β
Ying Xi hesitated for a moment and slowly let go of his hand.
Lu Hehuan picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, in a trance, he looked at Ying Xi and smiled slightly, "Ling Yan, I'm sorry......"
Lu Hehuan said that, and fell drunk directly on the table.
Ying Xi sighed deeply, got up and walked to Lu Hehuan's side, and helped him to the bed.
Ying Xi helped Lu Hehuan take off his clothes and shoes, covered the quilt, and then stood in front of the bed and looked at Lu Hehuan, for a long time, he couldn't help but shake his head, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth with feeling, "Silly boy, why bother yourself......"
Late at night, Liu Rushuang lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
"You can't like me for nothing, right?" Thinking of this, Liu Rushuang scratched her hair irritably, "No, no, we're good friends!" Liu Rushuang, don't think nonsense, it's just an analogy in vain, don't think about things too complicated. β
Liu Rushuang nodded as if comforting herself, "Well, that's right! She took a deep breath to calm down, "It's okay to take a photo with a friend, this request is very reasonable, and it's hard to refuse." β
Liu Rushuang nodded as if comforting herself again, "Well, it's settled, sleep." She adjusted her sleeping position, pulled the quilt on, and finally closed her eyes in peace.
The sun rises in the east, and the golden morning light shines on the dormitory building of the old gate police station.
A ray of morning light sprinkled on Lu Hehuan's face, Lu Hehuan rubbed his temples, slowly opened his eyes, and saw Ying Xi standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
"Inspector Ying, what are you doing?" Lu Hehuan's voice was a little hoarse.
Ying Xi turned around and saw that he was dressed in a straight suit and his hair was combed neatly, just like his usual sloppy appearance.
"Inspector Ying, do you have a date today?" Lu Hehuan looked surprised.
Ying Xi nodded, hippie smiling and not serious, "I was planning to ask you out, how about it, do you appreciate your face?" β
"Dating me? What do you ask me to do? Lu Hehuan looked dazed.
Ying Xi winked at Lu He Huan mysteriously, and spit out two words leisurely, "Take pictures." β
"What kind of pictures?"
"Didn't you lose a photo with a woman? I'll make up a photo of you with your brother! β
Lu Hehuan muttered in a low voice with a bitter face, "Can this be the same." β
Ying Xi walked over with great interest and pulled Lu Hehuan up, "Let's go, brotherhood is stronger than gold." β
In less than a while, Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan came to the largest Baoji photo studio in Shanghai.
Ying Xi pulled Lu Hehuan, who was wearing the same suit as him and his hair was combed neatly, to the camera.
The photographer stood behind the camera and looked at the two of them, "What do you want a group photo?" β
Ying Xi glanced back at the blue background, "This background needs to be changed to white." β
"Okay." The photographer nodded, changed the background of the two to white, and walked behind the camera.
Ying Xi posed the posture of Ling Yan in the previous photo of Lu Hehuan and Ling Yan, leaned his head on Lu Hehuan's shoulder, then pulled up Lu Hehuan's arm and put it on his shoulder, and signaled to Lu Hehuan with his eyes, "Hurry up, cooperate." β
"The two of us do the same?" Lu Hehuan was a little embarrassed.
Ying Xi nodded seriously.
Lu Hehuan cleared his throat and embarrassedly posed with Ying Xi in the same pose as in the photo with Ling Yan - Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi stood on a white background, Lu Hehuan hugged Ying Xi's shoulder, and Ying Xi happily rested his head on Lu Hehuan's shoulder, but Lu Hehuan's posture was a little stiff.
The photographer couldn't help laughing, and motioned to Yingxi and Lu Hehuan, "Two, smile naturally." β
Ying Xi reminded Lu Hehuan in a low voice, "Brotherhood, don't think too much." β
Lu Hehuan was relieved and smiled slightly.
The photographer pressed the shutter and took a photo of the two of them in the same pose and scene as Lu Hehuan and Ling Yan.
As soon as the two finished taking pictures, Bai Yulou pulled the reluctant Liu Rushuang into the photo studio.
Liu Rushuang was startled when she saw that Ying Xi was also there, and she quickly shook off Bai Yulou's hand, "Brother Xi!" β
Ying Xi looked at Liu Rushuang and Bai Yulou, and immediately understood.
Liu Rushuang hurriedly explained to Ying Xi, "You have to pull me to take pictures in vain, I'm just accompanying him, Brother Xi, don't get me wrong." β
Bai Yulou saw that Liu Rushuang cared so much about Ying Xi, and stared at Ying Xi with a hostile expression.
Ying Xi smiled without saying a word, and pulled Lu He Huan away.
In the European-style office of the General Police Station, Gordon is sorting through the papers on his desk. The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and Mary, dressed in a pink dress, crept up behind Gordon and blindfolded him.
Mary is Gordon's niece, a blonde mixed-race girl with a high nose, thin pink lips, and a wicked smile at the corners of her mouth, like a haughty Persian cat.
"Guess who I am?" Mary winked mischievously.
Gordon was furious and said in a commanding tone, "Who dares to make such a joke in the police station?" Let go of me! β
Mary let go of Gordon and pursed her mouth aggrievedly, "Uncle, you are too serious, I originally wanted to give you a su."
p
iseοΌ β
βMa
yοΌYou come backοΌ When Gordon saw Mary, he was amazed.
"Uncle, people have just come to see you when they get home."
Gordon patted Mary on the head, "How?" How are you doing abroad? β
Mary nodded, "It's not bad, but I miss my uncle very much." β
Gordon looked quite useful when he heard this, and scratched Mary's nose dotingly, "Got it, what do you want to eat?" Uncle will invite you to a big dinner in the evening. β
"You don't have to eat a big meal, Mom told you to go to the house to eat at night."
"Okay, Uncle will go over when he's done."
Mary nodded, and for a moment, her eyes moved, as if she remembered something, "By the way, uncle, I just had a few arguments with a servant, and she said that she was going to the police station to sue me." β
"It's okay, uncle will take care of it." Gordon blurted out.
"Thank you, uncle." Mary said goodbye and left happily.
It was just right, and the small carved windows of the police station office building were ajar, sprinkling the bright light on the ground.
Bao Ying came out of the forensic office with the materials and met Lu Hehuan in the corridor. Lu Hehuan nodded at Bao Ying, "Xiao Ying." β
Bao Ying smiled slightly, and suddenly, she remembered something, "He Huan, I heard that Mary also came back from studying in the United States." β
Lu Hehuan nodded disapprenousively, "Oh." β
Bao Ying hesitated to speak, "I remember when I was in middle school, she also pursued you all the time......"
Lu He smiled, "That was a long time ago, don't mention it again." β
"Do you know Mary's relationship with Gordon?"
"What's the relationship?"
Bao Ying was just about to speak, when a woman's cry suddenly came from the end of the corridor, and the two followed the voice, only to see a woman who looked like a maid crying and went straight to Bao Kang's office.
This woman is none other than Mary's maid, Sister Tian. Sister Tian is in her thirties, she looks down and generous, and she has a neat bun on her head, but the clothes on her body are shabby, revealing bloody marks. Lu Hehuan and Bao Ying couldn't help but be stunned when they saw it, and they didn't know what happened to Sister Tian.
A police officer followed behind Sister Tian to stop, "This eldest sister, you wait......"
Sister Tian ignored the obstacles, and continued to walk forward, and said stubbornly, "I want to ask the police commissioner to discuss the explanation, can a rich person not treat people as human beings?" β
Lu Hehuan gestured to Bao Ying, "Let's see what's going on." β
Bao Ying nodded and followed with Lu Hehuan.
