"It's okay, let's put another one." Liu Rushuang cheered herself up and began to prepare Kong Ming lanterns again.

Lu Hehuan took the opportunity to walk to Bai Yulou's side and whispered in a low voice, "You can concentrate freely, which proves that the hypnotism has been lifted." ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." Bai Yulou was stunned and said in a low voice.

"You just saw Miss Liu's eyes full of love, this shouldn't be a hypnotic instruction, right?" Lu Hehuan knew that Bai Yulou was pretending to be crazy and stupid, so he asked in a low voice.

Bai Yulou was stunned, seeing that his little trick was seen through by Lu Hehuan, he hurriedly pleaded in a low voice, "Officer Lu, I really can't hide anything from your eyes, please, don't say it, in fact, when I woke up by the river, I was already fine, but I was reluctant to take care of Sister Shuang for me, so I ...... Can you please not expose me? ”

Lu Hehuan smiled and nodded, knowing that Bai Yulou had no malicious intentions, "Don't worry, I also want to be beautiful as an adult, but I also remind you that a twisted melon is not sweet." ”

Bai Yulou raised his orchid finger unconvinced, and pushed Lu Hehuan charmingly, "You are persistent." ”

Lu Hehuan was excited, and hurriedly took two steps back, it seems that Bai Yulou has indeed completely regained consciousness.

Liu Rushuang took out another note and hung it on the lamp, looked at Ying Xi, pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Xi, this is to pray for you." ”

Ying Xi was indifferent and twisted his head to the side.

Liu Rushuang lifted the Kong Ming lamp, but almost broke the lampshade due to too much strength.

Ying Xi couldn't stand it anymore, snatched the Kong Ming lantern from Liu Rushuang's hand, and complained sharply, "I really can't stand it, how can there be such a stupid woman in the world!" ”

Liu Rushuang pursed her lips aggrievedly, "Kong Ming Lantern was originally put by two people together, of course I can't do it alone." She leaned in with a smile, "Brother Xi, let's put it together." ”

Ying Xi pushed Liu Rushuang away with a look of disgust, "Go away, go away, Lu Hehuan, come and help." ”

Lu Hehuan didn't know why, so he walked over and held up the Kong Ming lantern. Liu Rushuang saw that Lu Hehuan had come to spoil her good deeds again, and glared at Lu Hehuan fiercely, and Lu Hehuan looked innocent.

Ying Xi took a match to light the wick and released the Kong Ming lantern with Lu Hehuan.

Lu Hehuan looked at the slowly rising Kong Ming lantern and couldn't help but fall into memory.

A few years ago, the night on the outskirts of Jiuzha was particularly lively, and the shouting and shouting along the long street were endless. The bright moon rises in the east, the stars are brilliant, and groups of people are flying Kong Ming lanterns.

When he was young, Lu Hehuan held a Kong Ming lantern in his hand and pulled Ling Yan over.

Ling Yan looked at the Kong Ming lanterns flying in the sky and sighed lightly, "People's wishes are like stars, how many can really come true?" ”

"Why do I think Miss Ling is a bit similar to Miss Bao of the Bao family? There is a feeling of a literati and an ink writer. Lu Hehuan quipped.

Ling Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can I compare with Xiao Ying, the Ling family has long since fallen into the middle of the road with the death of my father." ”

Lu Hehuan straightened his face, "I don't allow you to be arrogant." ”

Ling Yan saw Lu Hehuan's serious face and smiled faintly, "Seriously, in fact, Xiao Ying, a childhood sweetheart, is the right person with you." ”

"I'm going to be angry if you talk nonsense again, Xiao Ying is my sister." Lu Hehuan looked serious.

"She doesn't treat you as a brother, Xiao Ying's feelings for you can be seen by her classmates, but you are sluggish and can't see it." Ling Yan lowered her head, a little jealous.

"It's that you think too much, I have lived opposite the door with Xiaoying since I was a child, and I have always treated her as my own sister." Lu Hehuan's tone was resolute.

Ling Yan didn't speak, but she still looked unhappy.

Lu Hehuan grabbed Ling Yan's shoulders and comforted him gently, "Okay, let's not let others disturb our two-person world." ”

Ling Yan couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"Let's put Kong Ming lanterns here, shall we?"

"Okay." Ling Yan took out a pen and paper and wrote something.

"What to write?" Lu Hehuan was curious.

"My heart's desire."

"Let me see what your wish is?" Lu Hehuan was about to see it, Ling Yan hurriedly blocked the note and smiled slyly, "It's a secret." ”

Lu Hehuan smiled evilly, "Secret? Then I'm going to know more......"

Lu Hehuan leaned over to tickle Ling Yan, Ling Yan giggled non-stop, the two chased each other, Lu Hehuan hugged Ling Yan from behind, Ling Yan was too shy to move again.

"Tell me, what is your heart's desire?" Lu Hehuan asked softly.

"We'll be together forever." Ling Yan's face was sweet.

Lu He smiled, "What kind of wish is this, we will definitely be together forever." ”

Ling Yan's expression suddenly dimmed, and she told softly: "He Huan, promise me, don't do anything for me that makes your father and mother sad." ”

Lu Hehuan turned Ling Yan to face him, and looked at Ling Yan affectionately, there was already a puddle of water hidden in Ling Yan's eyes.

"Is my father and mother looking for you again?"

Ling Yan hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "Even if they look for me, it's because they love you." ”

"The next time they look for you, you let them take care of their own sons, and don't bother you." Lu Hehuan's eyes were firm.

Ling Yan was amused by Lu Hehuan.

Lu Hehuan took Ling Yan's hand, "Don't think nonsense, as long as you wait for me to marry you with peace of mind, I will find a way on my father's side." ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly, "Got it." ”

Seeing that Ling Yan's mood was improving, Lu Hehuan immediately proposed, "Let's go and put Kong Ming lanterns, shall we?" ”

Ling Yan nodded.

The two walked to the Kong Ming lantern, Ling Yan folded the paper with the wish written on it into a thousand paper cranes and tied it to the lamp, and Lu Hehuan lit the wick. The two slowly released the Kong Ming lantern, and the paper crane was carried up into the night sky by the Kong Ming lantern, and the light reflected Ling Yan's smile, which was as beautiful as a picture.

The Kong Ming lantern flew higher and higher, flew into the gray clouds, and disappeared. The light in front of Lu Hehuan's eyes disappeared, and he woke up from his memories in a daze.

Ying Xi saw that Lu Hehuan seemed to have lost his soul, and walked over and bumped him on the shoulder, "Do you miss Ling Yan again?" ”

Lu Hehuan nodded silently.

"What else do you think, people may not remember you."

"You don't understand my relationship with Ling Yan."

"But I understand women, the dancers in Paramount met me and you and me, but after a few days of not seeing each other, they got a new love."

"How can you compare Ling Yan to the dancing girl of Paramount!" Lu Hehuan was furious and couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Aren't they all women, what's wrong with the dancing girls, people are also self-reliant, don't discriminate, okay."

Lu Hehuan sighed, "You won't understand...... Back then, Ling Yan and I released the Kong Ming lantern with the words 'Forever Forever', and I don't know if this wish can still be realized. ”

Ying Xi pointed to the starry Kong Ming lanterns in the sky, looking indifferent, "There are so many wishes, how can they all come true, I want to open a little." ”

Lu Hehuan fell silent again.

"Let's go, the Kong Ming lantern is also finished, let's go back to the bar."

Lu Hehuan nodded sadly, and when he was leaving, he unintentionally glanced back at the Kong Ming lantern in the sky, and with a flash of inspiration, he suddenly remembered something, "I know." ”

Ying Xi and Liu Rushuang looked at Lu Hehuan ignorantly.

"Know what?" Lu Hehuan's unexplained sentence really made Ying Xi incomprehensible.

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi and was excited, "Inspector Ying, I know how the big truck transports elephants without fracturing slate!" ”

"You don't think it's the elephant thief's wish, do you?" Ying Xi looked at the Kong Ming lantern in the sky and was confused.

Lu Hehuan didn't care about it, and looked directly at Liu Rushuang, "Miss Liu, I have to ask you to do me a favor." ”

Liu Rushuang was afraid that Ying Xi didn't want her to help, so look at Ying Xi. Ying Xi waved his hand, looking indifferent.

Liu Rushuang looked at Lu Hehuan reassuringly, "What's the busy?" ”

"I would like to ask Miss Liu to help me check and see if I can find the truck that passed by the back door of the Strange Beast Garden on the day the elephant was lost."

Liu Rushuang nodded, "This shouldn't be difficult, I'll check it out." ”

Early in the morning, Liu Rushuang sat at the table of the Shuangxi Detective Agency with the rope that tied Bai Yulou's hands, and Bai Yulou stood behind her obediently.

The room was crowded with small traders, fortune tellers and others, and everyone listened carefully to Liu Rushuang's instructions.

Liu Rushuang took out some money and put it on the table, facing everyone, "You understand the task, right?" People with clues come back to get the money. ”

The crowd scrambled out the door.

Early in the morning, Bao Kang called Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi to the office.

Bao Kang slammed the table, his face angry, "Isn't it so difficult for you to catch a serial murderer and find a thief now?" ”

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi stood opposite Bao Kang, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

"You're dishonoring the Old Gate Police Station!"

Ying Xi raised his head and looked at Bao Kang flatteringly, "Director Bao, the suspect has actually been arrested, but the suspect has not yet pleaded guilty, give us a little more time, we will definitely find a way to make them confess." ”

"Then why don't you go to the trial?" Bao Kang roared.

"Director of the report, the arrested suspect is not an elephant thief, I need time to find out the truth." Lu Hehuan was afraid that Ying Xi would torture him again, so he hurriedly grabbed the conversation.

Ying Xi glanced at Lu Hehuan, but Lu Hehuan ignored it.

Bao Kang glared at the two of them angrily and scolded sharply: "I know that I need time, such a theft case can't be solved, and you don't have to fish in troubled waters in the police station, get out of the house early, I'll calm down early." ”

"One day, give us one day to solve the case." Lu Hehuan blurted out.

"You're crazy!" Ying Xi whispered in surprise.

Lu Hehuan's eyes were firm.

Bao Kang snorted coldly, "Okay, I'll give you a day, and if you can't solve the case, you will give it to me...... The remaining two words will be said when you can't solve the case. ”

Ying Xi stiffened, with a crying voice, and nodded sadly, "Yes." ”

Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan walked out of Bao Kang's office, Lu Hehuan frowned slightly, Ying Xi looked at Lu Hehuan with a sad face.

"Did Liu Rushuang find the truck?"

Lu Hehuan shook his head, "No." ”

"Then you still dare to boast to Director Bao that Haikou will solve the case in one day?" Ying Xi was furious.

"I just wanted to push myself." Lu Hehuan explained bluntly.

Ying Xi had a bitter face and scolded sharply, "Then you can't push me together, or push to the edge of the cliff!" ”

"The more this is the more urgency there is, and the detective should be the elder, in fact, sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you will never understand your own ability."

"You force yourself, what are you doing with me!" Ying Xi looked innocent and aggrieved.

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi with a firm look in his eyes, "Inspector Ying, you believe me, as long as you continue to investigate, you will definitely find out the truth." ”

"Don't talk about this kind of in the future! How can I check if I don't have a clue? ”

"That truck is the clue, trust me."

While the two were talking, Liu Rushuang led Bai Yulou and ran over shouting.

"Brother Xi, I found out where that truck is!"

"Where?" Lu Hehuan was in good spirits.

"Kerosene plant."

Soon, Lu Hehuan and his entourage came to the kerosene factory.

Liu Rushuang pointed to the truck parked in the corner, "It's right there." ”

"Miss Liu, how did you find it in such a short time?" Lu Hehuan saw that Liu Rushuang was doing things so quickly, and asked curiously.

"Stupid way, one of my informants found this place along the dripping kerosene dots on the truck." Liu Rushuang replied proudly.

The crowd walked quickly to the truck.

Lu Hehuan carefully inspected the truck, he opened the hood and looked at the oil and water tank.

Ying Xi looked at Lu He Huan, "Is there a problem?" ”

Lu Hehuan didn't answer, went around to the car, opened the fuel tank and smelled it, and squatted down to check the bottom of the car.

"What clues can there be?" Ying Xi squatted down and looked at the bottom of the car.

Lu Hehuan still didn't speak, and climbed onto the roof of the truck with agility.

Ying Xi stood up and wanted to climb up, but after trying it, he found it difficult and had to give up in embarrassment.

Lu Hehuan stood on the roof of the truck and found that the roof of the truck was deformed and convex, his eyes darkened, and he jumped off the truck.

"The deformation and bulging roof of this truck is obviously caused by external forces." Lu Hehuan said with great confidence.

"You still need to say, is it possible that the truck will harm itself?" Ying Xi thought that Lu Hehuan had made some major discoveries, but it turned out that it was just a deformed roof of the truck, and he said cool things angrily.

"I think it was caused by the removal of the elephants." Lu Hehuan's face was straight.

Ying Xi glared at Lu Hehuan, "Last time, I saw the street pavement at the back door of the Strange Beast Garden, the stone road is good, and it doesn't look like an overweight truck passing by at all." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the culprit should have used the lift of the hot air balloon to reduce the weight of the truck and the elephant, which caused the stone slabs on the road not to break." Lu Hehuan analyzed.

Ying Xi heard this and smiled disdainfully, "What are you kidding?" Can a balloon pull a truck with an elephant? ”

"It's not a joke, it's backed by science. In the same way as the Kong Ming lantern, the density of heated air is lower than that of the air outside the balloon to create buoyancy, and the power of this buoyancy is amazing. ”

"Lu Hehuan, don't be whimsical, okay? When you report to Director Bao like this, we can only hear the words 'fuck off'. Ying Xi sarcastically said angrily.

"I'll prove it to you." Lu Hehuan's eyes were firm.

"Lu Hehuan, don't waste time, hurry up and go back to try Zheng Qiu and Zhang Chuan, maybe we can solve the case before dark, otherwise we won't have to solve the case in the future."

Lu Hehuan didn't care about it and looked at Liu Rushuang, "Miss Liu, do you know where the boss of this kerosene factory is?" ”

Liu Rushuang nodded, Ying Xi glared at Liu Rushuang, and Liu Rushuang hurriedly shook her head.

Lu Hehuan knew that Ying Xi was in the way, he saw the office in the corner of the kerosene factory not far away, and walked over by himself.

In the kerosene factory office, the owner of the kerosene factory slumped in his chair, he was only in his thirties, but with obvious dark circles under his eyes, he looked sluggish. Lu Hehuan and the others sat on the sofa opposite the boss.

The boss yawned and glanced at Lu Hehuan casually, "Don't you say that I really didn't notice the deformation of the roof, this truck hasn't been driven for more than half a year, and it has been parked over there." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"It's impossible, the Strange Beast Garden opened before, and this truck was still open at the back door of the Strange Beast Garden, and someone saw it." Liu Rushuang refuted.

The boss scratched his head and muttered in a low voice, "No, I haven't shipped much kerosene in the past six months, so I didn't use this big truck." ”

Lu Hehuan remembered something, "If the car does not move for half a year, the oil will be very thick, on the contrary, if it is driven, the oil will become thin because of heating and circulation." I just looked at the dipstick and found that the oil is very thin, which means that the truck should have been driven in the last few days. ”

The kerosene factory owner was surprised and puzzled, and scratched his head vigorously.

Ying Xi looked at the boss, "Has anything strange happened to the kerosene factory recently?" ”

The boss pondered for a moment and slapped his thigh suddenly, "I've been insomnia, but these days I have somehow often been sleepy, I want to sleep day and night, the day before yesterday I slept all day during the day, and at night I was sleepy again, I don't know if this is a strange thing." ”

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi were taken aback and glanced at each other.
