The city police station, it is close to twelve o'clock at noon, but Zhou Meng still has not appeared, and the people in the serious crime team are whispering, Ajie informs the police team of what happened last night, speculating whether this will be the latest development of the case, and at the same time doubts about Zhou Meng's personal safety. "Okay, you don't have to worry, Team Zhou called me, she has important things to deal with now, let's be busy with their own work." Xue Hai pushed open the door of the serious crime team, and saw that everyone was gathered in a pile, eating takeout and talking to each other, and he also stepped forward.

"Eh, vice-team, what's going on, did you find a new clue? What about Team Zhou? "Now everyone is more concerned about this issue, after all, the whole case is at a loss.

"I don't know." Xue Hai took a piece of chicken wings, sniffed it, and the pungent feeling instantly dropped, and he faked anger and said, "I said it, don't put chili powder, I'm on fire these days." He blew hard a few times, but the red powder did not fade much, and he still gladly accepted the delicious taste of eating for nothing.

In Ward 16 on the third floor of the emergency department of Tiandu Second Hospital, Zhou Meng's injuries have improved a lot, she woke up from her slumber, her chest was still a little stuffy with the struggle to wheez, and the indicators of the electrocardiogram at the bedside were still normal, she showed an embarrassed smile, and mocked herself in her heart that she was too nervous and too big. At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a middle-aged female nurse came in, holding a case book in her hand, she knew the person on the bed, and said very politely: "Officer Zhou, you are awake." ”

"Thank you, I'm ......" Zhou Meng didn't know how to ask about his condition, and stopped halfway through the conversation.

"Oh, it's okay, Officer Zhou." The middle-aged female nurse smiled peacefully and comforted: "Your condition is fine, but you are too tired, causing your body and limbs to be overdrawn, so weakness and pain are normal reactions, and you can recover after a little rest, we just injected you with glucose solution to replenish your body's energy and fluids." You won't be able to stay up late as often in the future. Zhou Meng is the soul of the serious crime team, most of the vicious incidents in the city have been solved under her leadership, and the outside world also thinks that she is an out-and-out workaholic. The middle-aged female nurse noticed the mobile phone next to her bed, and then said: "By the way, when you were resting, there was a call on the mobile phone, and I was worried that you would be woken up, so I turned off the sound." ”

"Thank you." Zhou Meng found that the missed call was her father, and she whispered, "It shouldn't be an important thing." Then she clicked on a text message. (Daughter, today is my wedding anniversary with your mother, don't be too busy with work and forget about things, otherwise your mother will have to say me again, come early in the evening, at eight o'clock in the Shengshi Restaurant.) Shengshi Restaurant, it costs a lot of money to eat there, and yes, it's rare for them to be romantic. "Oh, excuse me, can I be discharged from the hospital now?" Zhou Meng is still worried about his injury, after all, the vague memory of last night is still palpitating.

"Hmm......" The nurse browsed the case in her hand, glanced at the ECG again, and said solemnly: "In principle, you can't be discharged from the hospital, it's best to observe for another night, you are still in a weak period, a lot of movements or actions may lead to a recurrence of the condition, I suggest you put down your work for the time being." ”

"No, thank you for your concern, it's not a matter of work, my parents have to go to their party on their wedding anniversary today, no way, now at their age, they pay attention to such a ceremony."

"Eternal sweet love is a symbol that can bring positive energy to the vast majority of people in society." The female nurse couldn't help but recall her bitter and unforgettable marriage, the divorce of the previous year still brought her a shadow, she took a deep breath and whispered: "If this is the case, it is not a big problem, but remember, you must not drink alcohol and eat less indigestible food." ”

"Thank you, I'll remember, thank you." Zhou Meng was very grateful.

"Oh, yes." The female nurse held the case in her hand and looked down at the delicate and smooth feet of the other party. "Is the bruise on your ankle from the past?"

Zhou Meng also looked down when he heard this, and two dark brown marks were very obvious on his fair skin. "No, it's not, it doesn't seem like it used to be." She recalled, not remembering injuries to her feet, and as for what happened last night, the memory fragments were fragmented.

"That's weird, we took an X-ray of you, there was nothing wrong with the bones in your ankle, and we also took blood from under the bruised skin for investigation, and found no damage to the tissue cells under the skin." The female nurse stared at the bruise, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

Zhou Meng subconsciously reached out and touched her ankles, with a little force, and she felt the feeling of stroking in her mind. "Like, it doesn't hurt, it's just, it just feels a little hot?" Zhou Meng looked at the female nurse puzzled, he may have an opinion on the case, but for the condition and injury, he relies on the other party's professional domain knowledge.

"It shouldn't be a big deal, and when your body functions are back to normal, the bruises should go away on their own." The female nurse spoke, and she herself wondered the cause of the bruise, but based on her clinical experience accumulated over the years, I am afraid that it is just as she speculated.

At 7:20 p.m., the afterglow of the setting sun has not completely withdrawn from the sky, and you can take a glimpse of this vast and gorgeous scenery from the height of Tiandu Peak. Shengshi Restaurant is at the end of the Shengshi Imperial Road at the foot of Tiandu Peak Mountain, which is quiet in the middle of the noisy, and the environment is mainly based on the mountains and rivers to watch the sky, so the consumption close to the sky-high price has also attracted a lot of people, but it also makes those students who wander on the imperial road look away. The end of the royal road is Tiandu Lake, but artificially made, not big, not small, the whole Shengshi Restaurant is built on the lake, the style of the Lingyun Pagoda on the nineteenth floor, it is to highlight its ancient charm and prosperity. The height of the pagoda of Shengshi Restaurant is about 100 meters, and it is seen from a distance, such as comparable to the Tianfeng Mountain next to it, but it is far away from it when it is seen closely, less than half of the mountainside. But who cares about this, the pagoda is in the sky, and the heavy building is riding the crane.

"Hello, ma'am, do you have an appointment?" The beautiful lady of manners, dressed in the costumes of the Tang Dynasty, greeted very respectfully, and she looked at the other party's dress, except for the pure and beautiful appearance, any other decoration did not look like a distinguished customer who came to dine.

"I ...... Yes, there is an appointment, Zhou Zhiming. The customers who passed by all regarded her as a foreign thing, after all, there was a huge disparity in clothing, and Zhou Meng seemed to be aware of this.

"Wait a minute, I'll help you check." Zhou Zhiming? Appointment customers, important customers, Zhou Zhiming? Miss Etiquette saw the appointment notes, about Zhou Zhiming, it turned out to be in the important customer column. She secretly said in her heart, who is this person, and she also chartered the entire top floor, and last time only the mayor of Tiandu City had such a big pomp. She came back to her senses, bent down and said respectfully: "Hello, ma'am, Mr. Zhou Zhiming has chartered the entire top floor, you can go from here and go straight to the nineteenth floor of the elevator." ”

"The whole penthouse? Wow. Zhou Meng was a little surprised, she thought that it was only a big private room at most, and she invited family and friends, after all, the wedding anniversary was only equivalent to the husband and wife. She had just stepped onto the nineteenth floor until the elevator doors opened. There were familiar faces, including colleagues from the police force, relatives and friends who had met one or two faces, including some city hall figures, friends or colleagues her father had known before. Backless evening dresses of various colors, orthodox and peugeot suits, suddenly, Zhou Meng seemed to have stepped into a grand dinner.

"Team Zhou?" A familiar voice came from behind him, it was Xue Hai, the deputy leader of the serious crime team, he was wearing a blue suit, his hairstyle was sprayed with solid wax glue, and even the tie looked like he had just bought it. "You ......," he wanted to say, why are you dressed like this, but he still laughed and said, "Happy birthday." ”

Happy birthday? Zhou Meng was shocked, she only remembered now, it turned out that today was her birthday, and she was too busy some time ago, so she forgot about it. "Little dream!" There was a hint of anger in these exclamatory words, Xue Hai immediately withdrew when he saw this, and the person who came was Zhou Meng's mother, Chen Hong. "You, you're dressed like this." Although the sound was not loud, it also alarmed many people around.

Suddenly, in the entire hall, the mother and daughter became the focus, but the strange eyes were still on Zhou Meng. The former police flower was heroic, but now she is a little embarrassed, although the crowd next to her is friendly, but Chen Hong looked extremely embarrassed, she pulled Zhou Meng to the corner, and whispered: "Why are you dressed like this?" Don't you know today's day? ”

"I, I forgot." Zhou Meng sighed innocently.

"Okay, I can even forget my birthday, have you forgotten my wedding anniversary with your father?" Chen Hong was very angry, but she saw two men walking in the distance, one of them was her husband Zhou Zhiming, and the other was Han Feng, the dean of Xiahua College, Han Feng, Chen Hong had ideas about it, she was very happy that her daughter had something to do with him, and secretly, she also talked about each other's affairs. Han Feng once said that if he could marry Zhou Meng, it would be a blessing for three lives, outsiders know that he is a diamond king, although he is over forty years old, but as the saying goes, a man is forty-one flowers. Unfortunately, the two parties involved are very busy, and today, Han Feng asked his future father-in-law and mother-in-law to make this matter public. The arrangement of the banquet and the expenditure of all expenses were all handled by Han Feng. She turned her anger into a smile: "Xiao Han, you are here." ”

"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are getting younger and younger, and I talked to Master about you just now."

Chen Hong's noble dress, the crimson V-neck dress, the crystal clear green jewelry on her chest, and the Pergold diamond watch on her wrist all show her nobility, making women of the same age envious that she can find such a golden beetle son-in-law. Suppressing the joy in her heart, she sighed: "Hey, whatever you are young, you are already old." ”

"Meng'er, why are you ......" Zhou Zhiming found out that the casual T-shirt with short-legged jeans, and the person who was a little sloppy was his daughter.

"Xiaomeng has been busy in the past two days, and I heard about it at school, for the sake of the case." Han Feng eased the awkward atmosphere. "It's okay, this prosperous royal road has everything, and it has settled in several brand clothing stores, all of which are very famous, I will accompany Xiaomeng to choose an evening dress now."

"Oh, thank you so much, take her to touch up her makeup." Chen Hong was very satisfied with Han Feng being his son-in-law.

"No need, I'll just go myself." Zhou Meng said coldly, and then turned to leave.

"This ......" Chen Hong looked at her daughter who had never looked back, and her heart was very different, which made the surrounding atmosphere particularly bad, and it was still in front of her future son-in-law.

"Hey, forget it, let her go, you don't know her temper yet." Zhou Zhiming smiled and sighed, and shouted to the distant figure: "Don't forget the time, it starts at eight o'clock." ”

"It's really a big woman." Chen Hong held her mouth, wondering for a while, she said to Han Feng: "Forget it, don't care about her, go, I'll take you to meet our relatives and friends." ”

Along the way, Zhou Meng was silent, she came out of the restaurant with a gloomy face, she thought that she came here with an injury, and she would get condolences or greetings from her parents, but she didn't expect the ending to be like this. Walking in the dazzling streets, even the female students at school are dressed more appropriately than themselves, and they are subjected to their strange eyes. Zhou Meng saw a branded clothing store, but his mind inadvertently looked at the small shiny shop in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and even though his legs felt a little weak, he still hurried towards the convenience store.
