Chapter 45: Fried Rice

Today was not a good day.

Lan Qing sat up from the sofa, he didn't know how he slept on the sofa. The wall clock on the wall ticked and walked. The rain outside the window had stopped, but the sky was still foggy.

It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but according to the current weather conditions, this "oil" may be cheaper than boiled water.

Looking at the time, it was only six o'clock in the morning, Lan Qing made himself an unprecedented breakfast, although it was just a simple omelette, but the soft taste of the soft egg yolk in the mouth was much better than the beer in the refrigerator.

Although the heat is slightly higher, the egg whites are fried.

Lan Qing didn't care about this, and devoured all the food on the plate. After eating enough, Lan Qing was rarely ready to go out for a walk.

Figures were hurried on the damp concrete road. Breathing in the moist air, Lan Qing felt a little itchy in her nose. There are a few old aunts at the entrance of the community who take their grandchildren for an early walk, and the children are wearing rain boots and jumping in the puddle.

"Xiaoqing, come over and ......"

"Sister, please be more mature, what's so fun about the puddle......"

"Stinky little ghost, you're very mature......

Lan Qing reminisced about the time she played with Lan Lan as a child. only to realize that he had been so arrogant since then. Although she said that her sister was immature, she stepped into a puddle and had more fun than anyone else.

Touching his chin, Lan Qing found that his beard was already very long, and he used to cut it occasionally, but then he simply gave up. Now the stubble is touching the straight hand.

Lan Qing walked out of the community, he didn't know where to go, he just wanted to go shopping. Walking on the street where he used to walk with Lan Lan, everything was so real, and everything was so illusory. The girl who scolded herself for being a stinky boy is gone, only this stinky boy and the old tree on the side of the street are left.

The old tree will still sprout buds when spring comes, but this stinky boy broke off his original branches.

Lan Qing walked and saw Li Wan again.

"Officer Li, good morning......"

Lan Qing greeted Li Wan, something he wouldn't do before. When Lan Lan lived here, he couldn't figure out why he had to greet each other when he met others. When I was alone, I realized that this is the so-called human touch.

Li Wan turned her head and saw Lan Qing with a depressed face,

"Hello ......"

"Eh, no, how do you know my surname is Li? Still call me a police officer? ”

Li Wan was instantly vigilant, she didn't tell this person what her surname was, and every time they met, she wore civilian clothes.

Lan Qing scratched her head,

"I listened to the cashier yesterday...... Xiaowen said. I heard it while you were talking. ”

Li Wan looked at Lan Qing carefully. Lan Qing wore a loose sportswear when she went out, she couldn't see her figure, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol on her body was not so heavy, but the scum on her face still made Li Wan a little resistant. It seems that the whole person is very decadent.

"That's ......"

Lan Qing nodded, and was about to continue walking when Li Wan stopped him.

"Wait......"

"What's wrong, Officer Li?"

"My name is Li Wan, what's your name?"

"Lan Qing."

Lan Qing continued to press the road, and Li Wan kept chanting the name in her mouth.

"Lan Qing...... Lan Qing. ”

Entering the supermarket, Li Wan was still a little absent-minded.

"Officer Li, come so early today."

Xiaowen smiled sweetly at Li Wan.

"Ahh Oh, go to work today, buy a loaf of bread. ”

Li Wan smiled.

"Officer Li, do you have something on your mind?"

Looking at Li Wan, whose expression was uncertain, Xiaowen asked the doubts in her heart.

"You say, what happens to people that cause their temperament to change greatly?"

"Huh?"

"I met that guy again today."

Li Wan took a loaf of bread from the shelf and walked to the cash register.

"His name is Lan Qing."

Xiaowen laughed,

"Officer Li, how do you feel like you're checking your household registration, are you familiar with him?"

Li Wan's face was slightly red at Xiaowen's joke, and she glanced at her.

"Don't make a fuss, get down to business."

"Did he ever say hello to someone before?"

Xiaowen held her chin and recalled Lan Qing's past behavior.

"He's been to the supermarket so many times and has only spoken to me two times so far."

"Which two?"

"Where's a cigarette and beer?"

"What a weirdo ......"

Li Wan was a little speechless, strange people like Lan Qing were really rare, just like a patient who had just recovered from a mental hospital. It seems to have been derailed from society for a long time.

"He said hello to me today."

"What?"

Xiaowen was a little surprised,

"He's not going to take a fancy to you! It's no wonder that Officer Li is so beautiful, and it is normal for young boys to look at him. ”

"Just ...... you talk a lot"

Li Wan is indeed very beautiful, with good facial features, long eyelashes, and very aura eyes.

As soon as she talked about the beautiful Li Wan, her heart twitched.

"He said I was too pretty......"

Zhang Jin's words have been lingering in Li Wan's ears. There are many beautiful women in this world, but it is because of this face that they are in danger.

After paying, Li Wan left the supermarket. The suspect has not been arrested yet, and Li Wan has to continue to work.

Lan Qing found a bench and sat down. He was a little sad, because during a meeting with Li Wan just now, Lan Qing read Li Wan's heart. It's not because she feels sloppy and decadent, but because of Zhang Jin.

This is the bad thing about death, as long as Lan Qing thinks about it, other people's inner world will be seen in front of him.

He wanted to smoke, but when he saw that there were children around, he gave up.

The little creatures running outside are like young grass after the rain, full of vitality and waiting to thrive.

But in the end, there will be annoying people who will trample on the lawn, and those green grass and flowers that yearn for the sky will eventually be rotten.

Just like Zhang Jin.

Lan Qing thought about it, and he didn't even notice that a ball rolled to Lan Qing's feet.

"Uncle, can you help us kick the ball back?"

A child not far away shouted at Lan Qing. Lan Qing came back to her senses and kicked the ball to the child. The children continued to laugh and play, and Lan Qing continued to empty herself.

"The beard is indeed too long, and all children call themselves uncles."

The sky began to clear and the gloomy feeling disappeared. The remaining rainwater on the road was gradually evaporating, and Lan Qing seemed to be able to see the steam, and raised her hand.

The familiar sun appeared, and the sunlight spread across the land. Raising her head, Lan Qing sighed, no matter how blazing the sun is, there are always corners that can't shine. The moss worms in the shadows will silently gnaw on the wood and cement on the walls until the house collapses and the sunlight fills the rotten place.

Lan Qing began to admire Li Wan and felt that she was very courageous. It is obviously a flower that has just stepped out of the greenhouse, but she dares to confront the world head-on and explore those dark corners of the world.

I can only wish her all the best, Lan Qing doesn't want to participate in it, and there is no way to participate in it. He is a grim reaper, not a detective, and even if he can find the suspect, he has no right to interfere with the unfolding.

Destiny has long been written, and no one can change it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Li Wan's desk was full of coffee cans, and she hadn't slept for days because of the case. The police are searching with all their might, and she wants to do her best to find some tiny clues.

"Team leader, this is the result of the investigation in the past two days, and the comrades who are guarding near Tang Zhen's house have not found any trace of him in the past few days."

A police detective was reporting to the team leader, and the team leader's face immediately darkened when he heard this.

"Evil sect...... Such a big living person! It's just gone? ”

The team leader threw the document on the table,

"Keep looking! I don't believe it, he can still run to the sky! ”

In fact, Li Wan's heart is more anxious than anyone else, and the victim this time is her playmate from childhood to adulthood. Zhang Jin was raped, and Li Wan's heart was also very painful.

"Team leader! Intelligence came from the second street, and the camera captured a person suspected of being Tang Zhen. ”

"Second Street!"

Li Wan was shocked, Second Street was not far from her home, and the supermarket she often went to was on Second Street.

The chief walked over to the computer and saw a figure appear in the monitor and walk into a path.

"That's all? No surveillance across the road? ”

"Team leader, yes, but ......"

"But what?"

"He didn't come out of this path...... There was no sign of him on the road. ”

"......"

"Send someone to search! Even the manhole cover of that alley was lifted by Lao Tzu, go down and look for it! ”

The office was filled with the scolding of the team leader, and he couldn't be blamed for that. Usually rape cases like this are solved quickly. But this time the suspect is too weird, and the pressure is exerted from above, which is why the team leader is so angry.

Sighing, Li Wan shook her head, she only hoped that Tang Zhen would not continue to commit crimes, and the tranquility of Second Street could not be broken by him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lan Qing sat on the bench all morning. It wasn't until the sun was shining and he was sweating a little that he realized it was noon.

There were suddenly many more people around, and Lan Qing knew that these people were all plainclothes, for the recent rape case.

The world has been rough lately, there are far fewer pedestrians on the road, and while criminals are unlikely to commit crimes in broad daylight, young girls don't want bad things to happen to them.

Getting up, Lan Qing prepared to go home and continue to eat the "food" she made.

"Lan Qing?"

Lan Qing turned around and saw Xiaowen standing behind her.

"Hello."

Lan Qing responded politely, Xiaowen's face was slightly red,

"Here's for you, I guess you don't eat very well. Take it and eat a little, there is no obstacle in this world that you can't get over, you have to live well. ”

Lan Qing took Xiaowen's things, which were a box of fried rice.

After Xiaowen finished speaking, she turned around and ran away. Lan Qing shook her head helplessly, thinking that this girl was really interesting, but this should be the so-called human touch.

Xiaowen's heart was beating fast, and when she just handed Lan Qing food, she saw Lan Qing's eyes clearly, which was very deep and attractive. Although Lan Qing's face was full of scum, those good-looking eyes were inexplicably attractive to this untrained little girl.

Opened the fried rice sent by Xiaowen, Lan Qing laughed. The word "come on" is written on the fried rice with tomato sauce.

"The little girl is quite attentive."

took a pair of chopsticks from the kitchen, and Lan Qing ate it in a big gulp,

"It's delicious......"
