The old gate police station is located in the Shanghai public concession, Suzhou Creek, the office area is a three-storey European-style building, the outer wall is painted with eye-catching red paint, it looks magnificent, the towering wall covers the sight of outsiders, there is a pair of stone lions standing next to the heavy iron gate, there are police officers standing guard on the left and right, and the door is hung with a white background and black characters "Old Gate Police Station" sign.

Lu Hehuan rushed to the gate of the police station like a gust of wind, and the guards were startled and hurriedly stopped Lu Hehuan.

"Stop! What for? ”

"I'm in a hurry!"

Lu Hehuan tried to bypass the guards, but was stopped by the guards.

"Who's here isn't in a hurry?"

"Lu Xiang is my father!"

Lu Hehuan was in a hurry, so he had to move out of his father for his own convenience, but the guards thought he was making a lot of nonsense and ridiculed him.

"Bao Kang is still my eldest brother!"

Just when Lu Hehuan was entangled with the guard, a gentle female voice suddenly came from behind the guard.

"He Huan?"

Lu Hehuan followed the prestige through the door, and a girl about twenty years old with a lotus leaf head jumped into view, with black hair and snowy skin, gentle and delicate, it was his childhood sweetheart's sister next door - Bao Ying.

Bao Ying was wearing a white coat and holding a pile of thick documents, and was looking at Lu Hehuan in surprise.

"He Huan, I heard that you were coming back a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Bao Ying greeted him, and his gestures were filled with unconcealed joy. Seeing this, the guards exchanged glances with each other and sneaked away with bitter faces.

Lu Hehuan took the opportunity to walk into the door, looked at Bao Ying carefully, and finally recognized it.

"Xiaoying, why are you at the police station? Still wearing this? ”

Bao Ying smiled shyly and shook the document in his hand, "Thanks to my brother, I am now a forensic doctor." ”

"Female medical examiner?" Lu Hehuan was incredulous.

As soon as the words came out, Lu Hehuan remembered that Bao Ying's brother Bao Kang was the chief of the police station, and it was not surprising that he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked relieved, "Yes, the little slug who followed me back then has grown up." ”

Bao Ying's face turned red, her head lowered slightly, and she hugged the document tightly. When I see the old man today, even though I have a thousand words, I don't know where to start.

"How are you doing in Great Britain?" Bao Ying squeezed out a sentence.

"Pretty good, how about you?"

"It's good, it's just that I don't have a good friend."

Lu Hehuan knew that Bao Ying was talking about herself, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Bao Ying sensed Lu Hehuan's embarrassment and hurriedly changed the topic, "I heard that you are going to join the police officer?" ”

Lu Hehuan nodded, "I'm here to join today." ”

"That's great, we'll be colleagues from now on." Bao Ying said with a smile.

Lu Hehuan nodded, his tone suddenly became eager, "Xiao Ying, what's going on with Ling Yan's case?" How could Ling Yan become a murderer? ”

Bao Ying smiled, as if he expected this, but also unexpectedly, "I don't know, I haven't come to the police station to be a forensic doctor at that time." ”

"Can you help me ask your brother?"

Bao Ying was embarrassed, "He Huan, it's not that I don't help you, you also know my brother's person, I heard about Sister Ling Yan's case when I came back, and I asked him once, but he was fierce, saying that the case had been closed, but the murderer ran away, and asked me to do my job in the future, don't ask." ”

Lu Hehuan was embarrassed by Bao Ying anymore, and nodded, "I know, Xiao Ying, you go get busy first." ”

Bao Ying hesitated and wanted to have a long talk with Lu Hehuan, but seeing that the other party seemed to be a little anxious, he had to pretend to be generous, "Hmm...... Okay, He Huan, I'll take some time to pick you up another day. ”

Lu Hehuan nodded and hurriedly turned to leave. Bao Ying looked at Lu Hehuan's back and didn't move his steps for a long time.

Lu Hehuan had a clear idea of the layout of the police station, and he hurried to the archives. The archives room was guarded by guards, and he saluted Sister Nan, the policewoman in charge of the archives.

"Hello, I'm Lu Hehuan, a newly recruited police officer, and I want to take a look at the file of Ling Yan's murder case."

Sister Nan saw Lu Hehuan's handsome and handsome appearance, her heart was rippling, and she threw a wink at Lu Hehuan.

"Call me Sister Nan."

Lu Hehuan was upright, and when he saw the actions of the policewoman, he was confused.

"Sister Nan, do you have a problem with your eyes?"

"Yes, it's windy, my eyes are in the sand, can you help me blow it?"

Lu Hehuan became more and more puzzled, "How can there be wind indoors?" Do you have an eye disease? You might as well go to the doctor. ”

Sister Nan was angry, seeing that Lu Hehuan was so puzzled, she glared at her and perfunctory angrily.

"If you want to see the file, you have to ask Director Bao."

Lu Hehuan hurriedly walked away and went straight to the director's office.

Bao Kang was in his office reporting to Gordon, the chief inspector of the Shanghai Public Concession, who was sitting in a chair and flipping through the papers, he was in his early thirties, with blond hair and blue eyes, a wide forehead and a high nose, and his demeanor was so solemn and majestic that Bao Kang had to be cautious every time he saw him.

Bao Kang deliberately picked up today, but saw that he was burly, dressed in a clean police uniform, and even the top button of the collar was neatly buttoned. His hair was waxed and shiny back to his head, and with a flattering smile on his face, he stood respectfully to report to Gordon.

"Chief Inspector, what I just reported to you is a series of major cases that have been cracked by our police station in recent years, these cases are strange cases in Shanghai, and if it were not for the efforts of all my colleagues in the police department, it is very likely that they will become unsolved cases."

"Now many police stations have a lot of old cases, and the old gate has done a good job

y good。 Gordon nodded with satisfaction.

Bao Kang opened the bookcase again and took out a pile of thank-you notes and a few pennants.

"You see, these are all pennants and letters of thanks sent by Shanghai citizens to the Jiuzha Police Station and me......"

Gordon looked at a pennant, "'Bao Kang, Bao Kang, protect the people's well-being', are you talking about you?" ”

"Ashamed, ashamed." Despite saying that he was ashamed, Bao Kang still nodded unashamedly.

Gordon closed the materials and got up to look at Bao Kang with satisfaction, "good job, it just so happens that this month, the inspector MR. ZHANG next to me was transferred, so you can come over and replace him, well, take office next Monday." ”

Bao Kang was overjoyed and saluted Gordon, "Thank you, Chief Inspector!" ”

However, Bao Kang seemed to be happy too early, and just when he was carried away by the joy of promotion, the door was suddenly slammed open, and Lu Hehuan broke in.

Gordon and Bao Kang were startled, and looked at Lu Hehuan at the same time.

Lu Hehuan was stunned when he saw Gordon, his good cultivation allowed him to restrain the anxiety in his heart, nodded politely at Gordon, and then turned to Bao Kang.

"Director Bao, I have something to look for you, what is going on with Ling Yan's murder case? Where's the dossier? ”

Bao Kang looked at Lu Hehuan suspiciously for a while, and only recognized it after a while.

"Lu Hehuan? It's you, stinky boy, don't you know I'm in a meeting with Mr. Gordon, Inspector General? Didn't Hallowed Scotland Yard teach you how to knock on doors? Are you stupid to drink foreign ink! ”

Seeing Bao Kang's reaction, Lu Hehuan turned around and saluted Gordon.

"Report to the Chief Inspector, I am newly recruited police officer Lu Hehuan. I suspect that there is something strange about Ling Yan's murder case three years ago, and the suspect Ling Yan has never been brought to justice. I formally apply to investigate this outstanding case. ”

Gordon was angry and dissatisfied when he heard Lu Hehuan's words.

"Director Bao, didn't you just say that all the old cases have been closed? Why did another Ling Yan murder case come out? Please give me a reasonable explanation. ”

"Inspector General, I ...... This ......" Bao Kang was speechless for a moment.

Gordon snorted coldly, "I can't imagine that the great achievements of the old gate police station are all due to the good news and not the bad news of the director Bao...... I think you will continue to serve as the director, and since the people say, 'Bao Kang, Bao Kang, protect the people's well-being', I think once you are promoted, they will also miss you." ”

Gordon left angrily, and Bao Kang saw that the dream of promotion turned into an illusion in a blink of an eye, how could he be willing.

"Inspector General, listen to me......"

Bao Kang wanted to catch up, but Lu Hehuan blocked in front of Bao Kang.

"Director Bao, I think even if you chase after you, the chief inspector will not change his mind, you should pay attention to Ling Yan's case."

"Lu Hehuan, you have been expelled, get out of here immediately!" Bao Kang was extremely angry, gritted his teeth and glared at Lu He Huan, and roared roughly.

Lu Hehuan looked innocent, "Director Bao, Ling Yan's case is ......"

"Get out!"

Bao Kang was angry, and his originally neatly combed hair was fluffy at the moment, like a tiger, and Lu Hehuan was the lamb sent into the tiger's mouth. But the old sheep ran over again and again to protect the cubs - Lu Xiang broke in in a police uniform, he was in his forties, full of heaven, full of nose, big and thick ears, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Lu Hehuan. He had already received the news that Lu Hehuan had arrived at the police station, so he hurried over.

Lu Xiang looked flattering, "Director Bao is angry, did something wrong with the dog to make you angry?" Don't be like a child. ”

Bao Kang looked sneering, "Hmph, Deputy Director Lu is really a good godson, the good son you taught just suddenly broke in when I was reporting to Inspector General Gordon, and turned out Ling Yan's old case, and now my promotion is in vain!" Since I can't go, don't even think about climbing up! ”

Lu Xiang took a deep breath of anger, glared at Lu Hehuan, and then sorted out his emotions and continued to plead.

"It's because I didn't educate the dog well, and the chief of the package has a lot, so I will punish him casually. Expel...... It's too serious. ”

"Your son is a big man who came back from Scotland Yard, and the old gate police station temple can't accommodate his big Buddha, so please ask him to leave with his noble hand high, otherwise I can't say if I can sit firmly in the position of director of Bao. Deputy Director Lu should go out if he has nothing to do, I have never been like-minded with you, so I have nothing to talk about. Bao Kang is weirdly unrelenting.

Lu Hehuan looked at Lu Xiang, father and son reunited after a long absence, emotional, "Daddy......"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by an angry Lu Xiang, "Don't call me Dad!" ”

Lu Xiang left angrily, and Lu Hehuan chased him out. Thinking about it, this father and son must be enemies in the previous life, but they don't know who owes whom.

Bao Kang, who had just argued with Lu's father and son, was still angry, and he was muttering to himself while rummaging through the grass in the yard of the police station.

"There is no good thing with the surname Lu, Lao Tzu is unlucky when he sees it, bad luck!"

An old hen next to her paced back and forth proudly, croaking a few times from time to time. The chicken's name is Ah Hua, and it is Bao Kang's pet and has been kept by him for many years.

Bao Kang and Bao Ying, two siblings, both parents died when they were young, and when they were young, Bao Kang relied on Ah Hua to lay eggs every day to feed his sister. When Bao Ying is older, he relies on the eggs laid by Ah Hua every day to exchange some money for the family. Ah Hua is the life-saving benefactor of their brother and sister to Bao Kang, in Bao Kang's eyes, without Ah Hua, there would be no him and Bao Ying, Ah Hua's kindness to them is greater than the sky.

Bao Kang heard Ah Hua's cry and looked up, not at all as fierce and vicious as Fang Cai.

"Ah Hua, are you hungry? I'll catch worms for you to eat, don't worry. ”

Bao Kang looked at Ah Hua with a doting face, and turned to continue catching insects.

Lu Hehuan followed Lu Xiang, who had a gloomy face, back home, he was a little absent-minded, still thinking about how to get Ling Yan's file.

Lu Xiang opened the door and went in, Lu Hehuan just wanted to follow the door, Lu Xiang suddenly turned around and slapped him, and began to scold again.

"You rebel! Because of Ling Yan's murderer, I ruined my plan to become a regular! ”

"Daddy......"

"Don't call me Dad, I'm not your Dad."

"Then my mother has to agree." Lu Hehuan knew that his father had always been afraid of guilt, "Dad, Ling Yan can't kill anyone, I want to overturn the case for her." ”

"Flip over you big-headed ghost! Get the hell out of here! Lu Xiang pushed Lu Hehuan out.

Lu Mu Linzhi heard the sound outside the door and came over with a plate of dishes to persuade him.

"What's the matter? My son just came back, what are you arguing about......"

Lu Xiang threw out Lu Hehuan's luggage, but Lin Zhi stepped forward to stop him and was dragged by Lu Xiang.

"You get out of here for me to reflect, and I'm not allowed to go home until I wake up!"

Lu Xiang closed the door hard, and Lu Hehuan stood at the door looking at the luggage that was thrown out, a little stunned.

The sound of Lu Xiang and Lin Zhi's argument continued to be heard inside the door.

"My son has been out for three years, and he finally came back, why did you drive him out!"

"I asked him to go out and reflect on what he did wrong, what's wrong with me educating my son?"

"You've done a few things right over the years, why don't you go out to reflect, Lu Xiang, either your son comes back, or you get out!"

"This is my home, why should I get out of here...... Ouch, my eyes, don't fight, children are the ones who make you spoiled, and mothers are so defeated! ”

In the courtyard, Lin Zhi cried and beat Lu Xiang, "I haven't seen my son for three years, you said to drive it out, Lu Xiang, this matter is not over!" ”

Lu Hehuan was stunned at the door, listening to the noise in the house, and opened his mouth helplessly, expecting that there would be another burst of chickens and dogs jumping inside.

"Mother, don't beat your father, I'll wake up outside honestly!"

The second elder was hot, how could he care about greeting him, but secretly opened a crack in the door of Bao Kang's house, and Bao Kang's sister Bao Ying quietly came out.

"He Huan?" Bao Ying saw that Lu Hehuan had eaten the closed door soup, and walked over to comfort him.

Lu Hehuan moved the corners of his mouth in some embarrassment, "Xiao Ying." ”

"Don't blame Uncle Lu, it is said in "Aphorisms", 'Parents are all in the world, and the rarest brothers in the world', no matter what Uncle Lu does, he is looking forward to his son Jackie Chan."

Lu Hehuan nodded, "Got it, thank you, Xiao Ying." ”

Bao Ying smiled gently.

Lu Hehuan was still reading about Ling Yan's murder case, "Xiaoying, can you help me beg your brother to let him show me Ling Yan's file?" ”

Bao Ying was just about to speak, the door of the Bao family suddenly opened, Bao Kang was domineering, he first glanced at Lu Hehuan, and then scolded his sister.

"What do you see? Let me tell you, you are not allowed to go to the archives for me in the future, let alone borrow files! Hurry up and come back to me, the girls don't know what to pay attention to, just talk to a man! ”

Bao Ying was unconvinced, "Brother, Han Yu's "Removing the Official and Going to Jiangzhou to Send Dr. Li to Eyue" said, young people are happy with new knowledge, and they miss old friends in the twilight, I and Brother He Huan are childhood sweethearts, although you are a few years older than us, you are also friends who have been together since childhood, you are young now, you don't value these, and when you reach the twilight of life, you will find the precious ...... of a friend like Brother He Huan."

Bao Kang saw that Bao Ying was so sloppy, he was very unhappy with this, and interrupted angrily, "Okay, don't be reasonable." If you don't want to be kicked out like him, let me in, I'm not in the twilight of my life. ”

Bao Ying pursed his lips, reluctantly went back, and smiled at Lu Hehuan before closing the door, and Lu Hehuan nodded politely.

I can't get in if I want to come home, Lu Hehuan walked aimlessly on the street with his luggage, and unconsciously walked to the Suzhou Creek, he sat against the tree by the river, quietly looking at the river, the afterglow of the sunset shone on the river, and the floodgates of Lu Hehuan's memory suddenly opened.

At that time, the arbor beside him was full of greenery, the young Lu Hehuan was hanging upside down on the branch to play, Ling Yan was sitting on the tree and drawing, Lu Hehuan secretly glanced at Ling Yan's work and smiled evilly.

"Ling Yan, how did you come up with the idea of painting persimmons?"

Ling Yan pointed to the slowly setting sun, with a serious expression, "What persimmon?" It was clearly a red sun at dusk. ”

Lu Hehuan tilted his head and deliberately made trouble, "However, I just see it like a persimmon, a persimmon hanging on a branch." ”

Ling Yan sighed, "I really can't help you, you just say yes." ”

Ling Yan said, sketching an ancient tree on the canvas, with the red sun dotted on the branches.

Lu Hehuan was triumphant, "Now it's really a persimmon." ”

"No, it's not a persimmon."

"Why not persimmons? Didn't you just say it was a persimmon? Lu Hehuan was surprised.

"It's not a persimmon, it's Lu Hehuan hanging on the branches."

"Okay, you're playing tricks on me." Lu Hehuan suddenly realized, tore off a leaf, and pretended to throw it at Ling Yan.

"This persimmon is so naughty, don't move it again, or I'll eat you." Ling Yan made a grimace to scare Lu Hehuan.

Lu Hehuan stopped mischievous, and Ling Yan continued to paint.

Lu Hehuan secretly put a big green worm on Ling Yan's body, lowered his voice, and pretended to be mysterious. "Ling Yan, do you feel like you have something on your back?"

Ling Yan was still concentrating on painting, "What? ”

"Let's see."

Ling Yan reached out and touched her back, felt something stuck to it, took it down and was about to find out, when she looked at it, it turned out to be a big green worm, and she was immediately scared to cry. Seeing this, Lu Hehuan hurriedly jumped down from the tree and hugged Ling Yan.

"Ling Yan, are you okay? I was wrong, I shouldn't have scared you. ”

"Why are you scaring me with bugs?" Ling Yan said as she smashed Lu He Huan's shoulder with a powder fist.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Lu Hehuan blamed himself.

Ling Yan wiped her tears, "You rotten persimmon, you have a bad idea and play tricks on others." ”

Lu Hehuan saw that Ling Yan's anger had subsided, and began to speak poorly, "Yes, I'm just a rotten persimmon, so do you want to eat me?" ”

Ling Yan burst into tears and laughed, "Who wants you this rotten persimmon?" ”

Under the light of the setting sun, Lu Hehuan stroked Ling Yan's hair, as if holding a trickling stream sprinkled with gold dust. It's a pity that the sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk, the scene is still there, and there is no shadow.

The river flowed slowly, and a fish jumped out of the water and fell into the water, waking Lu Hehuan up from his memories. He looked at the ripples on the surface of the water, a smile on his face, but tears in his eyes.

Lu Hehuan let out a long sigh, stood up, and left with his suitcase.

The sun was shining, it was getting late, and he was looking for a place to stay.

A bright moon hung in the sky, and under the cold moonlight, Ling Yan's dilapidated house looked even more desolate. Lu Hehuan, who had nowhere to go, decided to spend the night in Ling's house. He pushed the door open, and the room was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

In a trance, Lu Hehuan suddenly found a black shadow with his back to him.

"Ling Yan?" Lu Hehuan was startled, rushed up to grab the black shadow, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.

The black shadow shook his body and scolded sharply, "Thief! ”

"You're the thief!" Lu Hehuan came back to his senses and knew that it was not Ling Yan.

The black shadow immediately turned back to attack Lu He Huan, and the two were entangled together. During the fight, Lu Hehuan accidentally stepped on a wooden stick and slipped to the ground, and the black shadow found the opportunity to raise his leg and kick Lu Hehuan in front of the door.
