Seventeen confused

Tang Peng sat alone on a big stone at the edge of the village, the thin rain gently wrapped around him, he looked at the scenery in front of him attentively, because from here you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the world, the fields outside the village are fertile, the wild flowers in the bushes are fragrant, there is a dense forest in the distance, you can vaguely hear the birds in the forest singing, the small river next to the woods is flowing with gurgling water, from time to time you can see a few fish excitedly jumping out of the water and greeting the livestock on the ground, Tang Peng took a deep breath, The air in the city is completely incomparable with here, there is no turbid dust, no pungent gasoline, here you can feel the wonderful and incredible feeling that you are completely one with nature, Tang Peng was intoxicated, he closed his eyes and began to think, his brain was unprecedentedly clear: If I am not a detective in the future, will there be such a place for me to live in seclusion? Or is this the place I'm looking for? No! I still have a lot of things to do, Teacher Jiqing's hatred, and those despicable "shadowless killers"! I must ......

"Master, can I ask you a few questions?" A voice sounded in his ears, interrupting Tang Peng's contemplation, Tang Peng turned around and saw Wanli standing behind him reverently, but his previously confident eyes were full of dust, "Are you busy now?" ”

"I'm not busy, I'm looking at the scenery, what's the problem?" Tang Peng replied with a smile.

Wan Li lowered his head, the rain hit his ears little by little, but he didn't speak, Tang Peng waited patiently, and after a long time, Wan Li slowly spoke:

"Actually, am I not qualified to be a detective at all?"

Tang Peng frowned slightly, looked up at him curiously:

"Why do you suddenly lose your confidence?"

"Not suddenly! I, I now know how naïve I am......" Tears flowed softly from his eyes, and two shining tears slid out of Wan Li's face, "I won't solve the case at all...... I used to read those detective novels and mystery topics and thought that detectives were like that, but when I really got to reality, I realized how naïve I was...... Wrong and wrong, I haven't been right once until now! I still want to be a detective...... What future detectives, what find out the truth? I can't even figure out where I am right now! I want to give up on ......"

Tang Peng didn't answer, just looked at Wan Li quietly, then took a long breath, moved his body to give Wan Li a little space, and motioned for him to sit down too, Wan Li also sat on the stone curiously, raised his eyes to look at Tang Peng, and Tang Peng didn't speak, nor did he look at him, his eyes were locked on the intoxicating scenery in front of him, and he spoke for a long time:

"Do you dream of being a detective?"

"En......"

"Then why do you want to give up?"

“...... I've been wrong all this time, I'm really afraid, I'm afraid that I will ...... in the future."

Wan Li lowered his head and didn't say any more, Tang Peng smiled, and his eyes became a little complicated:

"Did you know that I killed my most respected teacher because of a mistake in reasoning?"

"Huh?" Wan Li opened his mouth wide and looked at this famous detective he admired, his expression was very surprised, "Master, you also missed it before?" ”

"Of course I missed it, and many times, I'm not Sherlock Holmes - also, just call me Tang Peng, don't always be 'Master, Master', this is not filming a costume drama." Tang Peng smiled and sighed, and turned his head to look at him, "At that time, I was depressed, drunk every day, gave up my beliefs, and didn't dare to think about being a detective anymore, what to avenge the teacher, what to find 'no shadow' to settle accounts, at that time I didn't think about it at all, and I was not qualified to think about it - all I thought about was to find a place to hide and spend my life in a groggy ......"

Wan Li was even more surprised, looked at Tang Peng repeatedly and couldn't speak, and asked after a long time:

"Then Master, no, Tang Peng, how did you recover?"

"Because a stupid guy did a lot of stupid things to encourage me......"

Eighteen past events

"Hah-yaw!" Cheng Shuai yawned idly, and walked to the window of the VIP room boredly and looked outside, "Damn, it rained as soon as the investigation progressed - I can't do anything now, it's really boring!" Tang Peng, that idiot who learns what kind of rain to see the scenery, is simply an idiot at home! ”

Chen Weiwei was tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror, and when he heard Cheng Shuai's complaints, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, but replied lightly:

"It's obvious that I want to be lazy and blame the rain - have you found anything in your investigation in the past two days?"

"Damn, what do you mean by being lazy? Lao Tzu, this is called 'self-meeting rest'! Wait a little and sleep comfortably, how nourishing this little day is - I found that there are not many, but there are more and more fucking doubts: when the village chief introduced the deceased Zheng Yi, he said that she married the wrong person, and the expression at that moment was very strange, and who was the 'aunt' in the mouth of the survivor named Wang Juan? When I asked the village chief, he told me that he was most likely calling the dead widow! Damn, it's speechless! Cheng Shuai looked back after complaining, Chen Weiwei didn't listen at all, he was tidying up his hairstyle there, Cheng Shuai's face sank, "Fuck, another one who found a girlfriend - Lao Tzu was stimulated!" You bastard, you actually broke away from Lao Tzu's 'singles club' without permission! Lao Tzu represents that people in the world who are still single despise you! ”

Chen Weiwei's face flushed slightly, and he said vaguely:

"Who found a girlfriend ......"

"Damn, do you still learn to blush when you're old? Look at your virtue: a face of intoxication, a smirk at every turn, your eyes are full of happiness, but your eyes are empty, and your whole heart is floating to someone else-if you guess correctly, it should be the one named Chu Yiqian, and then look at the stinky beauty you look in the mirror, there must be a date later, damn, it's still dating when it's raining, what do you learn to walk in the rain? Lao Tzu cursed you all to become soup chickens! Cheng Shuai was angry, scolding endlessly, but Chen Weiwei ignored him, and went out after he got it done, leaving Cheng Shuai to continue shouting in the house, Cheng Shuai was even more angry when he saw this, looking around looking for someone to dissipate his anger, and saw Li Han lying on his side on the bed at a glance, Cheng Shuai had an evil smile on his face, and walked over to force him up, but found that Li Han had tears in his eyes, he cried, Cheng Shuai was stunned, turned his body around, and asked him, "What's wrong?" What are you crying about? ”

Li Han didn't answer, and the expression on his face didn't look like he was crying, and it took a long time before he slowly replied:

"Did you and Tang Peng treat me as free labor from the beginning? Actually, I have known for a long time, but I have always been willing to follow you, because my dream is to be a detective and want to learn something from you, but you hide everything from me...... I originally wanted to come here to solve the case, and when I go back, I have the money to convince you to take me with me to investigate those mysterious cases...... But when I came here, I realized that I couldn't do anything, I couldn't help anything! I, I ......"

“...... Damn, your expression now is exactly the same as that idiot back then! Cheng Shuai grabbed his hair and sat down close to the bed, "Do you want to hear a story?" ”

Li Han looked at him curiously, nodded silently, and Cheng Shuai began to speak:

"When Lao Tzu went down the mountain, he didn't know anything except martial arts and reasoning, he didn't find a job for a long time, he wanted to take refuge with his friends but got lost, so he had to find a walk on the road aimlessly, thinking that anyway, Lao Tzu's dream is to travel all over the world, so go on like this! Who knew that I suddenly saw a drunk man lying in the middle of the road, and a truck was speeding not far away! I didn't even have time to think about it, and I rushed over and rescued the man just as the truck was about to hit - just as Lao Tzu pointed at the drunk man and was about to scold, guess what I saw? Damn, that drunk man is Tang Peng, my childhood brother whom I haven't seen for many years! If it weren't for Lao Tzu's keen observation, I really wouldn't have seen that it was him...... Later, I learned that the idiot was depressed because of self-blame for indirectly killing his teacher, and Lao Tzu was stunned at the time! He pointed at him and scolded him, but the idiot didn't listen at all! I still remember what he said at the time: 'Cheer up? Hum! What are your dreams? My dream was to be a detective and find out the truths hidden in the darkness one by one! But, do you think I'm worthy? Do you want to be a detective? My teacher: Jiqing, he was killed by my ridiculous reasoning! I don't want anything, and I ......don't deserve anything.'"

"Really? That's Tang Peng? Li Han looked at Cheng Shuai suspiciously, and felt a "chuckle" in his heart.

"It's like a fake! That idiot was in exactly the same mood as you are now......" Cheng Shuai looked up at the ceiling and continued to recall, "I remember that Lao Tzu looked at him for a long time, and finally said: 'You ask me if I have any dreams?'" Lao Tzu told you that Lao Tzu has always had a dream, and it was given to me by you idiot - do you remember when we were children we said that when we grew up, we would get together and start a detective agency? Lao Tzu has always remembered this promise, what do you mean by the virtue now? He glanced at it, his expression still very low: "Open a detective agency?" Hum? Do you think it's that simple? Do you have the money to open it? Lao Tzu was completely stunned at the time, so he replied, 'What the do you mean?' Lao Tzu told you that it only takes two days for Lao Tzu to get the money to open a detective agency! Do you want to take a gamble? Because Lao Tzu didn't even have money for food at that time, he didn't believe that I could do it, so he agreed...... Then there was our Ssangyong Detective Agency. ”

"Huh? How did you get that much money? Li Han looked at Cheng Shuai suspiciously and asked.

Cheng Shuai's face began to sweat, his expression became a little uncomfortable, and finally smiled indifferently:

In fact, Lao Tzu also felt impossible, but in order to realize the dream of opening a detective agency with him, Lao Tzu fought hard: selling blood, doing black work, and underground fighting...... Lao Tzu basically did everything! ”

Li Han trembled, looked up slightly at the usually sloppy Cheng Shuai, there was some indescribable touch in his eyes, but Cheng Shuai put his hand on the back of his head, his face was full of indifference:

"Anyway, what Lao Tzu wants to say is that Lao Tzu is willing to do anything for the sake of his dreams, and what confusion and depression are simply fart for Lao Tzu! Because God always leaves room for those who stick to their dreams! ”

Li Han was completely shocked, but his body turned around and continued to sleep, but there were many inexplicable feelings churning in his heart......
