"Brother Moe! What the hell did you just do? Is it your occupational disease again? ”

Guo Tanya looked at Sun Meng, who had just run out of the door in front of her, and now walked up from the first floor with her head hanging down, she pretended to be angry and pouted.

"No, no~ I just thought I saw an old friend, so I hurriedly went over to confirm." Sun Meng waved his hand in a panic and hurriedly called the waiter: "Add another pineapple pork chop bun!" ”

"Humph! I don't eat it! ”

"Okay, Tanya~ I'm sorry." Sun Meng got up and touched Guo Tanya's head, Guo Tanya snorted.

"I'll take you to a movie after eating later, okay? Haven't you always wanted to watch Section Chief Jia's new film "Walking with Shutong", let's watch it after dinner! ”

"Hmm..." Guo Tanya shook her little head, her eyes rolling slightly.

"That's pretty much it. Well, I'll forgive you reluctantly! However, Guo Tanya also called the waiter: "Add me another fruit salad." ”

"Pig, you!"

"Shut up! It's my birthday! Guo Tanya showed no weakness.

"Okay, well, according to you."

The cold-faced criminal police captain on weekdays can't escape a person who makes him "one foot taller and one foot taller".

Outside the window, the Tiger Hill Square on the bank of the Jialing River is lit up. The fountain that rises to the sky is covered with colorful lights, making people feel like they are rippling.

Sun Meng leaned back in her chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.

As a people's policeman who protects the peace of the party, Sun Meng can't remember how long it has been since he has enjoyed such a leisurely time.

Of course, there is also a saying that "happy times are always short-lived". Because before he came out, Lao Zhang had clearly told him to come to the bureau on time at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning to participate in a briefing on several recent cases. Leaders of provincial departments will also participate.

Looking at the city bureau, especially the criminal police team, it is not unreasonable that there are so many single-eyed dogs.

"Brother Moe !!" It wasn't until Guo Tanya stood beside her and pulled her ears that Sun Meng woke up like a dream.

"Sun Meng! I found out that you couldn't give up since you came up! You're telling me the truth, are you thinking about the case? ”

Sun Meng raised his head with a helpless wry smile on his face.

"Brother Meng's mind is thinking about the case except for the time when he sleeps." Guo Tanya sat back opposite Sun Meng.

"But don't really say it, you're born to be a policeman! Do you remember the time when the dean lost money when we were kids? ”

"Of course I remember, you were so young at the time, and you still remember after so much time?" Sun Meng laughed, raised his right hand and gently twisted his chin.

To be precise, Sun Meng doesn't like Guo Tanya. The best-looking girl in the whole welfare home always liked to run around after Su Ruo at that time, as if she never knew what tiredness was.

Sun Meng likes Su Ruo. It's not that kind of like, it's that kind of like. Because a few naughty children in the welfare home are afraid of him.

Whether it was at that time or later, if you stay with Su Ruo for a long time, you will find that many times the terrible thing about him is actually his silence.

A face that is never expressionless, deep eyes that are always looking around, plus a brain that is always running at high speed and a habitual chin twisting.

Now Sun Meng is more and more like him.

Twenty-odd years ago, banks were not as common as they are today. In that era when everyone did not have much cash in their hands, how to reasonably place the money in their pockets became a rather technical problem.

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you will shoot thieves and worry about them. This is where the technology of hiding money comes in.

In those days, almost everyone had a few tin boxes or a lot of old newspapers. Behind the mirror, under the earthen sofa became their first choice.

At that time, bank cards were almost extinct, and all transactions were in cash. Naturally, this also includes the payment of wages.

As a municipal welfare institution, the director's salary is almost 300 yuan.

The 16th of each month is a fixed payday. On this day, Li Hua, the director of the Tanigawa City Welfare Institute, would put three brand-new banknotes in a wooden box under the rusty tin bookcase in his office and bedroom. The gap in the tin cabinet is only about ten centimeters.

Li Hua carefully wiped the wooden box in his hand, and then gently pushed it back into the gap.

The scorching sun outside the window, Li Hua's forehead oozed beads of sweat slightly.

In a month, she and her separated lover will be able to buy a house of their own in the city.

Li Hua is a native of Xinji. The original intention of leaving his hometown from Xinji and coming to Tanigawa was to go to school to be a people's teacher. By chance, she came to the Tanigawa City Welfare Institute as a special education teacher, and she seemed a little unwilling. Of course, even she herself didn't expect that this would be twenty years.

Near noon, it was time for the Tanigawa City Welfare Center to put out meals. Li Hua took the door and walked towards the cafeteria. Originally, there was no cafeteria, but as the number of children increased, a classroom was converted into a canteen.

And Li Hua's room is less than a hundred meters away from the canteen.

Having lunch is a playtime for the children. Li Hua, like the other teachers, stood in the courtyard basking in the sun and watching over the children.

In a blink of an eye, it's time for a nap. Li Hua and the other teachers settled all the children and returned to their house. Lying on the bed, she was just about to squint for a while, when her eyes suddenly fell on the bottom of the tin bookcase. She vaguely noticed that her wooden box seemed to have been moved.

Li Hua hurriedly got up and came to the bookcase and took out the wooden box. After counting, there was really a hundred dollars missing from the box. It was the one she had just put into the box with her own hands not long ago, and she suddenly felt dizzy.

Ten minutes later, all the children and teachers were standing in a line. This also includes the sleepy-eyed Su Ruo and Sun Meng. Guo Tanya stared at Su Ruo with big eyes and hid timidly behind Su Ruo.

"Has anyone of you been to my room at noon?" At this moment, Li Hua seemed weak, and as soon as she came up, she went straight to the point.

The teachers who didn't know why couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other and shook their heads.

At that time, there were a total of eight teachers in the welfare home including Li Hua, seven women and one boy. Every day at noon, they take turns cooking.

Due to a shortage of manpower, these eight teachers have to take care of almost 80 children. The children ranged in age from 4 to 12 years old.

The teachers have been together since noon. Ensuring the absolute safety of the children is the first requirement of the welfare home. Therefore, no matter who is between them, they will provide a real and credible alibi for other people.

Li Hua, who has been staying with them, also knows it very well in his heart.

In those days, lying was considered a shameful thing.

The last thing Li Hua wants is for any child to go astray. Although some of the older boys do seem to be a bit mischievous.

"The dean lost a hundred yuan at noon, and if any of you can recognize your mistake and take the initiative to return it, I will definitely not blame him for the past."

The children all looked at her as if they didn't understand. A couple of older boys whispered with their heads down.

Nine-year-old Su Ruo's face was expressionless, his left hand constantly twisting his chin.

"Dean, dean, is that 100 yuan new?" A childish voice sounded beside Su Ruo. When Sun Meng said this, he left two clear snots in his nose.

The only male teacher looked at him, and said angrily: "What are you asking nonsense, little boy?" ”

"I don't think the dean's money has been lost." Sun Meng's angry appearance attracted Su Ruo's attention. This should be the first glimpse of the deep friendship between Su Ruo and Sun Meng in the future.

"Teacher, look at how hot our Tanigawa summer is. If it's a new piece of money, if you put it in a small confined space where moisture can penetrate the water vapor, then the cotton pulp paper will stick together. ”

Sun Meng's words not only made the male teacher speechless, but other teachers, including Li Hua, were also surprised by what the nine-year-old boy said in front of them.

Few people know that if it weren't for the sudden death of the chemist who divorced early, God knows if his son, who was smart and clever since childhood, would have achieved even more in the future.

Sun Meng had a faint smile on his face, and Guo Tanya's hands on the other side were looking at him with her hands on her face.

"I don't even understand what you're saying, but I just remember that Brother Su hasn't played with me much since then."

"Brother Moe! Do you think Brother Su's car accident was really an accident? ”

The smile on Sun Meng's face suddenly froze, he grinned and didn't speak.

"Okay, Brother Meng, I'm full."

"Let's go, let's go to the movies." Sun Meng stood up and carried the bag in Guo Tanya's hand, and the two of them walked out of the gate of Water Heaven one after the other.

A warm wind blew on the Garing River.

"Walking with Shutong" tells a particularly funny love story. But Sun Meng has never had a good impression of this type of movie, and he fell asleep several times during the movie.

It was close to midnight when the show ended, and the brightly lit Kwun Tong Street was still full of tourists. Midnight on a summer night couldn't be better for a city known for its nightlife.

Sun Meng and Kwok Tanya walked slowly down Kwun Tong Street. There are also several gym membership advisors scattered around the street handing out flyers to visitors.

A membership advisor walked towards him, and Sun Meng suddenly felt his body hit by him.

"Dance yoga, find out. Fitness swimming, find out. ”

couldn't help but say that Sun Meng's hand was stuffed with a leaflet. Sun Meng was about to throw it away, but suddenly found that there was a line of small characters written on it with a signature pen.

"Tanya, it's late, I'll send you back."

Before Guo Tanya could react to what was going on, she was pulled into his car by Sun Meng. Grand Cherokee sped to the Sakura City neighborhood next to the Tanigawa City Welfare Institute, where Guo Tanya lived.

Watching Guo Tanya walk into the unit door, Sun Meng pushed open the leaflet in his hand, and a few clear words on it came into front of him: I'm right in front of you, why don't you come to arrest me?

There are also a few strange symbols underneath this line of small print.

Seeing that the lights in Guo Tanya's room were turned on, Sun Meng turned around and got into the car to leave.

At this time, there was also a pair of eyes watching Guo Tanya in the dark corridor behind him, and after walking into the house, he slowly turned around and walked downstairs.
