Chapter 58: Self-inflicted
The door to the police station's medical examiner's room was open, and the morning light shone through the window. Bao Ying sat at his desk looking for a law book.
"I will definitely be able to find legal terms that can help He Huan." Bao Ying muttered to herself with a sad face.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiang and Liu Rushuang broke in in stride.
"Xiao Ying." Lu Xiang grimaced.
Bao Ying stood up when she heard the voice, looking puzzled, "Deputy Director Lu, Miss Liu?" ”
"Xiao Ying, Uncle Lu has something to ask you." Lu Xiang went straight to the point and expressed his intentions.
Bao Ying looked at Lu Xiang respectfully, "You said." ”
Lu Xiang looked at Liu Rushuang, Liu Rushuang understood, and walked to Bao Ying.
"Brother Xi and Lu Hehuan did save Long Zhentian, but at that time, they didn't know that the woman was Long Zhentian, and they reported this matter to Director Bao as soon as they came back, and it was Director Bao who asked them not to report it, and they would make up for it by catching Long Zhentian."
"My brother?" Bao Ying looked ignorant.
Lu Xiang nodded, "Now Bao Kang refuses to testify to He Huan, Xiao Ying, Uncle Lu begs you to persuade your brother, you must make it clear to the Chief Police Department, you can't let He Huan suffer injustice!" ”
Bao Ying nodded suddenly, "Deputy Director Lu, Miss Liu, don't worry, I'll go to my brother and ask him to testify to Inspector Ying and He Huan." ”
Lu Xiang and Liu Rushuang looked relieved and each breathed a sigh of relief.
Bao Kang sat leisurely in the office chair, his legs on the table, looking leisurely and contented.
"Let you use me as bait, scare me into nightmares every day, and this time I will also make you suffer a little, and when you are sentenced and desperate and helpless, I will testify again, and let you taste the taste of nightmares......" Bao Kang said to himself.
Suddenly, Bao Ying pushed the door in, and Bao Kang was so startled that he almost fell and hurriedly stood up.
"Xiao Ying?"
Bao Ying had a cold face and looked at Bao Kang, "Brother, the eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, do you understand this truth?" ”
"What kind of reason is that?" Bao Kang was a little weak-hearted.
"Concealing the truth and not saving you when you die is not what a husband should do." Bao Ying tried to suppress his anger.
"You...... Don't listen to their nonsense. Bao Kang expected that Liu Rushuang and Lu Xiang had already told Bao Ying what had happened, and they couldn't help but be a little hesitant when they spoke.
Bao Ying's patience was exhausted, and he stared at Bao Kang angrily, "Brother, I won't go around the bend with you, if you don't help Inspector Ying and He Huan testify to save them, kneel in front of your father's spiritual seat, and copy the poetry book that is equal to you again!" ”
Bao Kang waved his hand again and again, "If you don't copy it, don't you copy it, can't I go to the chief police station to testify now?" ”
"That's my good brother." Bao Ying smiled with satisfaction.
Bao Kang glanced at Lu Xiang and Liu Rushuang who were hiding at the door and eavesdropping, and glared at the two of them resentfully, and the two glared back at Bao Kang unceremoniously.
In the evening, Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi were taken out by two police officers, and the two walked to the door of the chief police station and found Bao Kang talking to Inspector Yuan.
Bao Kang bowed deeply to Inspector Yuan, "I'm sorry Inspector Yuan, it's all my fault for explaining late, otherwise there would be no such misunderstanding." ”
Inspector Yuan smiled unmindfully, "It's okay, as long as the ending is good, the process doesn't matter." ”
"On the Inspector General's side, please ask Inspector Yuan to help me say a few more kind words."
"Don't worry, although the chief inspector scolded you, he is still happy in his heart, after all, he still likes Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan very much."
Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw that they were out of danger. Unexpectedly, Bao Kang caught a glimpse and glared at the two fiercely, and the two quickly put away their smiles.
Bao Kang turned his face sideways and continued to look at Inspector Yuan, "Inspector Yuan, what is the punishment for the two of them above?" ”
"At first, it was the fault of the two of them that let Long Zhentian go, and then it was Long Zhentian who they caught, so the merits and demerits were offset, and the original commendation bounty was canceled."
"And our police station?" Bao Kang asked.
"There is no punishment, but there is no reward either." Inspector Yuan replied bluntly.
Bao Kang nodded a little disappointedly, "Then we'll go first." ”
Inspector Yuan nodded.
Bao Kang took Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi down the steps.
"Director Bao, thank you for coming to testify for us." Ying Xi immediately slapped Bao Kang's ass.
Lu Hehuan on the side had a straight attack, "But Director Bao, why are you here so late?" ”
Bao Kang's anger did not subside, and he glared at Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi angrily, "You two shut up for me, if you hadn't let Long Zhentian go in the first place, how could there be so many things behind!" Don't think it's over, I've prepared the poetry book for you, and I'll put it in the police officer's office, and you two won't go back to sleep until you finish copying it today. ”
"Why do you want to copy poetry books? Does it have anything to do with solving crimes? Lu Hehuan was puzzled.
Ying Xi was also confused, "There doesn't seem to be such a punishment in the police station." ”
Bao Kang glared at the two of them angrily and scolded sharply, "Let you do whatever you want, what so much nonsense!" ”
Lu Hehuan shrugged disappreciatively, "I'm OK, it's not difficult for me to copy poetry books at all." ”
Ying Xi raised his eyebrows, "It's also a trivial matter for me." ”
When Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi returned to the police officer's office, it was already dark, but their faces were even darker. The two looked at the one-person-tall poetry book in front of them in surprise, and were dumbfounded on the spot.
Ying Xi rubbed his beard, "It's too exaggerated, isn't it?" It's crazy! ”
"It's a bit hard to copy so much." Lu Hehuan's face was embarrassed, he thought about it, and felt that it was useless to say more, so he picked up two books and handed them to Ying Xi, "In order to go to bed early, let's start." ”
Ying Xi sighed, reluctantly took the book, and copied the book on the table with Lu Hehuan.
Under the light, Ying Xi lay down in front of the table and copied carefully, complaining from time to time.
"With so many books, will you copy until your hair is gray?"
Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the past.
The classroom after school was empty, but the rustling of writing could still be heard, Lu Hehuan and Ling Yan stayed at school to copy books when they were young, and their immature handwriting seemed to record the joys, angers, and sorrows of their youth.
Lu Hehuan and Ling Yan were lying on their desks, with a stack of books in front of them.
"It's dark, and there are still so many books to be copied." Ling Yan looked out the window and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Lu Hehuan smiled disapprehantly, "Copy it slowly, I'm not in a hurry to go home anyway." ”
"But I'm in a hurry, if I don't go back, my mother will be worried."
Lu Hehuan thought for a while, "Then take it back and copy it." ”
"It's all your fault, why did you pass me a note during class? Otherwise, the teacher wouldn't have punished us for copying books. ”
"I really wanted to talk to you at that time, so I passed you a note."
"But wait a little longer and the class will be over."
"Can't wait." Lu Hehuan looked aggrieved.
With a snort, Ling Yan was amused by Lu Hehuan's innocent expression. It's like this every time, obviously I'm so angry, but I still can't help but laugh.
Lu Hehuan saw that Ling Yan's anger had disappeared, and smiled narrowly, "It's dark, I'll send you back." ”
Ling Yan nodded, picked up more than half of the textbook and put it in her schoolbag.
"What are you doing?" Lu Hehuan asked puzzled.
"Take it back and copy it."
"What are you doing with all that?" Lu Hehuan said and went to snatch the book in Ling Yan's hand.
"I write fast, I'll copy more." Ling Yan didn't give it to Lu Hehuan and stuffed it into her schoolbag.
Lu Hehuan touched Ling Yan's head, his eyes were full of pampering, "I know that you feel sorry for me." ”
Ling Yan smiled, "Let's go." ”
Lu Hehuan nodded, hugged Ling Yan and left.
The long street where the night is approaching, the smile that is as green as water, the cold and beautiful back, and the bright eyes of the autumn water, like fragrant and warm words, are engraved in Lu Hehuan's heart.
Ying Xi saw that Lu Hehuan looked sad again, and couldn't help sighing, "Think of Ling Yan again?" ”
Lu Hehuan came back to his senses, nodded, and couldn't help but talk about the past, "When I was in school, I was stubborn, and I was often punished by the teacher for copying books, and at that time, Ling Yan helped me copy together. ”
"That's all in the past, I can help you if you help Ling Yan overturn the case, I know that you are a person who is more truthful to the truth. But emotionally, after all, it's been so long, if Ling Yan wanted to come back, she would have come back a long time ago, so forget about her and start a new life. ”
"If I could forget, I would have forgotten ......"
Ying Xi interrupted Lu Hehuan, "How memorable can it be?" Forget a little bit every day, and forget it after a long time. ”
Lu Hehuan didn't answer, smiled bitterly, and looked out the window leisurely.
The moonlight entered the corridor of the police station, Liu Rushuang carried the lunch box and Bao Ying walked side by side, and the little attendant Bai Yulou carried some fruits and followed behind with a sad face.
"This supper was made by me according to Brother Xi's taste, and he must have been moved to death." Liu Rushuang looked delighted.
Bai Yulou pouted disdainfully when he heard the sea of vinegar, "If he knows how to be moved, he doesn't need you to bother so much......
Liu Rushuang glanced at Bai Yulou fiercely, and Bai Yulou hurriedly shut up.
Bao Ying on the side saw that Liu Rushuang was very affectionate, and couldn't help but hold Liu Rushuang's arm, "I really envy Inspector Ying, there is a girl who is willing to give everything for him who likes him so much." ”
Liu Rushuang smiled proudly.
The night is getting darker, and in the police office, Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi are still immersed in copying books.
Lu Hehuan suddenly stopped his pen and looked at Ying Xi with a sideways face, "Inspector Ying, do you also have someone in your heart who can't be forgotten?" Otherwise, why has you not accepted Miss Liu for so long? ”
Ying Xi was slightly stunned, moved his lips, but did not speak.
"Miss Liu is running around begging for people for you this time, aren't you moved at all?" Lu Hehuan asked.
"I am not a good match with Liu Rushuang, I am afraid that I will live up to her affection." Ying Xi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
"I think you should try."
Ying Xi didn't want to talk any further, so he changed the topic, "Let's talk about you, let me see, you and Ling Yan are not a good match, don't always have Ling Yan in your eyes." ”
"Not only in my eyes, but also in my heart, I can't pretend to be someone else." Lu Hehuan had a wry smile on his face.
While the two were talking, Bao Ying, Liu Rushuang and Bai Yulou walked to the door of the office. When Bao Ying heard Lu Hehuan's words, he immediately froze, looking lost.
In the house, Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi didn't notice that outsiders were approaching, and they were still chatting.
"Emotional things are like this, although Liu Rushuang is good, she will never be able to enter my heart." Ying Xi sighed and took Lu Hehuan's words.
When Liu Rushuang heard Ying Xi's words, she was stunned, she wanted to rush in, but after thinking about it, she stopped, cried and threw away the lunch box, turned around and ran away.
"Miss Liu!" Bao Ying was on the side and couldn't stop Liu Rushuang.
"Sister Frost!" Bai Yulou chased after him.
Liu Rushuang ignored Bai Yulou and ran away quickly.
Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi heard the sound of the door and looked at the door in surprise, but saw Bao Ying standing alone at the door.
Bai Yulou didn't catch up with Liu Rushuang, who ran away, turned around and rushed into the police officer's office angrily, punching Ying Xi in the face.
"White Jade Building! What are you doing? Ying Xi covered her face, both annoyed and puzzled.
"You beast, you broke Sister Shuang's heart!" Bai Yulou spoke sharply.
Ying Xi thought for a moment, saw the lunch box that fell at the door, and immediately understood, his anger had subsided, and he looked at Bai Yulou helplessly.
"Sister Shuang can give up anything for you, you just treat her like this! Who do you think you are? I'll wake you up today! Bai Yulou said as he rushed up to beat Ying Xi again.
Ying Xi didn't fight back, only defended, and in an instant, his face was beaten by Bai Yulou.
Seeing this, Lu Hehuan hurriedly grabbed Bai Yulou, "Bai Yulou, calm down, if you have anything to say." ”
Bao Ying, who was standing at the door, looked at Lu Hehuan, remembering that Lu Hehuan was infatuated with Ling Yan, he couldn't help but let out a short wry smile and left silently.
It was late at night, but Bao Kang had not yet slept, pacing back and forth in the living room, glancing out the window from time to time.
"What time is it, why hasn't Xiao Ying come back yet?" Bao Kang muttered in a low voice.
As soon as the words fell, there was a squeak, the door was pushed open, and Bao Ying walked in in disappointment.
Bao Kang hurriedly greeted him, with a concerned expression, "Xiao Ying, what time is this?" How did you come back? ”
Bao Ying didn't answer, and Lu He Huan's love words to Ling Yan flashed in his mind.
"What's wrong?" Bao Kang saw that Bao Ying's expression was wrong, and asked with concern.
Bao Ying came to his senses and looked at Bao Kang, "Brother, why did you let He Huan and Inspector Ying copy the book?" ”
"I ......," Bao Kang was speechless for a while.
"I asked you to copy the book so that you can know right and wrong, and copying on behalf of you loses its meaning." Bao Ying earnestly educated Bao Kang.
Bao Kang smiled flatteringly, "I know, I promise you, I will definitely finish copying it myself, okay?" ”
Bao Ying nodded, lest Bao Kang play tricks again, and instructed uneasily, "Then you can finish copying it yourself tomorrow, otherwise I will tell my father." Daddy's spirit in the sky will also be uneasy. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll copy, I'll copy." Bao Kang nodded repeatedly.
The night was foggy, Zhu Wolong was running wildly on the suburban road with a suitcase, and in the panic, he tripped over a piece of gravel and fell suddenly. The suitcase in his hand fell to the ground, scattering some gold and silver.
Zhu Wolong reluctantly got up from the ground, randomly stuffed the things scattered on the ground into the suitcase, and then hugged the suitcase tightly in his arms.
Suddenly there was a fire shining in the distance, and there was a noise behind Zhu Wolong.
"He can't run far, chase ......" the voice is getting closer and closer.
Zhu Wolong was frightened, hurriedly got into the grass next to him, and grabbed some dead grass to cover his body.
After a while, a group of men with torches chased after them. In the grass, Zhu Wolong was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.
The men did not find Zhu Wolong hiding in the grass and continued to chase forward.
After everyone left, Zhu Wolong crawled out of the grass in embarrassment, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and strode in the opposite direction with the box.
The sun was rising, and Ying Xi, who was yawning, took a bag of peanuts, threw peanuts into his mouth, and walked with Lu Hehuan to the police dormitory.
"Grandma's, I'm finally done copying, I can go back to sleep for a while." Ying Xi is drowsy.
Lu Hehuan touched his wrist, "I haven't written so many words for a long time, my hands are so sore." ”
"It's okay to have sore hands, my neck ...... Ouch......" Ying Xi moved her neck in pain.
When the two passed by Ah Hua, Ying Xi's feet slipped and fell to the ground, scattering the peanuts in his hands. Ah Hua smelled the aroma, as if she had seen a treasure, and ran to peck peanuts with her head held high.
"My peanuts!" Ying was shocked, as if his heart and soul treasure had been snatched away.
Lu Hehuan helped Ying Xi up, "What time is it, don't think about peanuts, are you okay?" ”
Ying Xi shook his head, looking quite sad, "I'm fine, it's just a pity for peanuts." ”
"You're a big knocker." Lu Hehuan looked helpless.
As soon as Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan walked out of the gate of the police station, they found a group of people surrounding the police station in a menacing manner. The two of them stopped unconsciously.
Ying Xi glanced at the mighty crowd, rubbed his beard, and frowned, "The person who came is not good!" ”
Lu Hehuan nodded, and gave Ying Xi an inquiring look, "What case will involve so many people?" ”
"It's not a good thing anyway, just hide if you can." Ying Xi said that he was about to pull Lu He Huan away, but unexpectedly, the strong men suddenly rushed over and surrounded the two.
