Xingxiong looked at Chen's actions, froze like a statue for a long time before reacting, reached out and took the cloth bag containing the money, his expression was complicated, and he kept looking back and forth on Zhou Jinru and Chen's bodies.

Chen noticed Xingxiong's unusual behavior, looked up at her, and asked rhetorically, "What's the matter?" ”

"Superintendent Chen, you have committed a crime."

Xingxiong's words fell on Chen's ears, causing her to frown, and her expression stiffened on her face after realizing what she had done.

She and Zhou Jinru just sneaked into a private house, one controlled the owner, and the other stole money, is this really something she did, she usually claims to be the embodiment of the law, but she actually did a criminal act for the sake of temporary stimulation? !

"I, I ......"

Her mental state became confused, looking at her hands, then at Zhou Jinru, and finally at Xingxiong's concerned face.

"Ah Chen, don't be nervous, you are indeed no longer as pure as before."

After Zhou Jinru counted the gold pounds found in Hughes's room, he threw them all to Xingxiong, he didn't plan to dispose of these belongings of unknown origin by himself. And the star bears have the means to get them into the right hands.

"Why, are you doing this?"

Chen De's tone was very terrifying, and he almost asked in a trembling voice, as if he would pull out the blade in the next second.

Suddenly, Zhou Jinru felt a little tired, he patiently explained: "I'm quite worried about you, a person who is too pure is easy to walk into a dead end, what we are doing is indeed breaking the law, I am the main offender, you are an accomplice, you must accept this fact." ”

Chen's role in the sitcom is an important supporting role, she is a person who believes that the law is absolutely correct, and in the development of the plot, she is either in a hostile state with the protagonist, and finally slowly recognizes the protagonist, but she cannot violate her own principles, and finally dies of martyrdom; Either it is used by the villain and degenerates into a setting diametrically opposed to the previous absolute justice, and it will still become a background board for the protagonist before the end of the whole play, bringing out some qualities of the protagonist.

"You're taking advantage of the trust I have in you."

"Yes."

Zhou Jinru thought about it for a long time, and finally admitted that he, who had experienced many dreams, would try his best to avoid the death of the operator in the dream, and continue to let the plot develop.

Chen used all his strength and reluctantly said, "What you said before was also a lie to me?" ”

"No, I didn't lie to you, I said I liked you, it's a fact."

"How do you want me to trust you?!"

She let out a low roar, pulled the curtains, and walked away.

Zhou Jinru was stunned for a second, then chased after him, leaving Xingxiong alone in a daze.

"It's just some gold pounds, and it's a trivial thing compared to what they've done."

Xingxiong pursed her lips and drove the carriage out of the Western Region alone, with her identity, there were no guards at all who dared to stop her.

……

……

Chen ran alone for a long time, she didn't have a sense of direction at all, she just ran wherever there was a road, didn't think about anything, didn't care about anything, and let her emotions control her body.

It was already completely dark, and there was a mist in the air, which in Lentinium would be surprising if there was no fog on any day.

She has always been strict with herself, fighting crimes, arresting criminals, solving cases, and maintaining law and order in the city, no bad guy can escape her sanctions, no matter what kind of bad embryo she is, she can't get out of her sight.

I don't know how long she ran, she came to a bridge, under the bridge is the rushing river, Chen had a hint of realization in her heart, she actually came to the land river across Lentinium, if it is in the daytime, the scenery here is extraordinarily beautiful, the evergreen plants on both sides of the river are lush, the sound of the river is loud in the ears, and the warm sun shines on the body, which is very suitable for picnics and play.

Tired of running, she leaned against the guardrail by the bridge, looked at the wide river, and gasped for breath, carefully recalling the details of what had happened tonight.

"Ah Chen."

Zhou Jinru exuded heat all over his body, and he ran a long distance after Chen until he stopped here.

Chen didn't respond, just stared at the river, she suddenly jumped on the guardrail with both hands, stepped on the narrow guardrail with her leather boots, spread her arms to keep her balance, and walked forward step by step.

"Wow, can you come down, it's dangerous."

Zhou Jinru followed behind, but he didn't dare to follow too closely.

Chen walked a few steps, and her unique voice came from the night: "Zhou, do you know, before today, I have been working hard to fight crime, almost no criminals can escape from my hands, the Adella you have seen, she is the one I caught, if it were not for Father Albert willing to bail her, I guarantee that she will spend an unforgettable three years in prison." ”

"Just because she's guilty of stealing?"

"Yes, she burglarized a bakery, and when the owner found out, she was trying to steal a few pieces of bread."

"Did you ask her why she stole the bread?"

Chen was silent for two seconds and replied, "Maybe it's because of hunger." ”

Zhou Jinru unbuttoned his coat, let the evening breeze blow up the placket, blowing away the heat, he followed Chen, and the two walked on the bridge one after the other.

"Haven't you investigated why she committed a crime? Have you done any research on the criminals you caught and sent to prison? ”

Chen pursed her lips, her footsteps stopped slowly, she lowered her head and stared at the pointed end of her leather boots: "It's not my job, I'm only responsible for arresting people and catching criminals." ”

"Well, let's talk about the Earl West's private estate that we visited today, the Hughes butler."

"You want to say that there is no problem with what we do?"

Zhou Jinru walked by himself, walked in front of Chen, turned around, and raised his right hand at her: "Ah Chen, with your weekly salary, when will you be able to reach the personal assets of that Hughes butler?" ”

"For decades, maybe I won't make that much money in my lifetime."

"Have you ever wondered why he has so much money?"

Chen didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Jinru and listened to him.

"I am the valet of the Shivaesh family, this is one of my identities, if calculated by my personal weekly salary, without a special gift from Mr. Shivaash, without calculating inflation, it only takes two hundred years for me to have the assets exposed by Mr. Hughes, but the reality is simply impossible, we all know that the Earl of West is an old nobleman who has successfully transformed, his assets have far exceeded the limits of a noble family's grasp, and he is becoming a new nobleman who leads Victoria into a new era.

"He may not be precise to the single digits of his assets, but he knows exactly how much money he has, and how many extra pounds do you think he can give to a butler?"

Zhou Jinru's expression became serious, and the words that came out of his mouth seemed to be experienced personally.

"One-tenth, is the result of Earl West's generosity, one hundredth, is a proof of Earl West's friendliness, not a cent, but a few percentage points of weekly salary increase, Hughes butler should be grateful to Dade, the money he has now, he definitely does not dare to deposit it in the bank, let alone take it out, of course, this money is not stolen by him, otherwise he would have been swept away."

Chen stared at Zhou Jinru's face, as if she knew him on the first day, and she thought, maybe this man has revealed his true face.

"You ......"

"Because I used to be one of them."

Zhou Jinru said in a low voice: "Ah Chen, you are standing too high, you should come down, at least, you should lower your head and take a look." ”

He stretched out his hands, Chen's expression was extremely complicated, for a moment, she wanted to jump off the bridge and fall into the rushing river, so that she would no longer have to regret and suffer for what she had done today, but in the face of the man in front of her, she couldn't make a hundred decisions.

"If you don't convince me, I will continue to stare at you, and if you deceive me again, I will send you to prison with my own hands and choose your own destiny."

She closed her eyes and leaped forward, greeted by a solid chest and a tight hug.

The man hugged her tightly, buried his face in her hair, and breathed deeply, not letting go of it.

"I almost lost you."

He whispered in her ear.

"Release, you're holding too tightly."

Suddenly, all perceptions became blurred, and Zhou Jinru knew that this was a sign that he was about to get out of the dream, and the picture in his eyes disappeared little by little, leaving only his consciousness still awake.

"Act II ends."

The words came into his sight, and then everything fell silent until he opened his eyes again, and it was the daylight of the third day of the day of recovery.

Zhou Jinru, who came to his senses, rubbed the corners of his forehead, but he felt a trace of exhaustion from his soul, and just wanted to reach out to touch the identity card under the pillow, but suddenly found that the person lying next to him was staring at him.

Willa?!

Zhou Jinru was shocked, and that bit of fatigue disappeared, he remembered one thing, the reason why Vena slept next to him was to meet in the sitcom, but because of Chen Sir's matter, he forgot to squat in the quiet church to find the lion.

"Where have you been?"

There was a faint voice of Vina in his ears, and no matter how he heard it, there was a sense of resentment.

Zhou Jinru is a spirit, he can't say that Chen sir is too fragrant, he ran to soak Chen sir, and ...... Wait a minute, how to face Chen sir.

For a while, a headache has two big heads, is this the daily life of a scumbag, crazy between multiple members of the opposite sex?

"I'm in a bit of trouble."

Zhou Jinru quickly told him what he had encountered, of course, he chose to skip some details that Vena was not interested in, otherwise he would face the three jumps of the Flying Hammer, and his head would be blown off.

But Vena cleverly grabbed the little tail and said in a solemn tone: "So you didn't go to the Quiet Church because you were with Chen Pao?" ”

"Her character is likely to die, I can't watch her die, the sitcom can be said to be another dream, and I haven't figured out how much death in the plot affects reality."

"Hmph, let's count it as a reason."

Vena leaned sideways, the flesh on her chest squeezed together, seeing Zhou Jinru dizzy, she reached out and grabbed the doctor's clothes to prevent him from escaping.

"Let's get down to business first, the Earl of West who dismissed Chen is indeed a person in reality, he himself has long since died, his family is now the leader of the new aristocracy, if it is not a character automatically generated by dreams, then the Earl's actor is very likely to be a member of the West family's lineage, and the earl had an affair with a noble boy at the beginning, and the atmosphere at that time was not as open as it is now."

When the word open was spoken, Wei Na's eyes changed slightly as she watched Zhou Jinru, and her fingers grabbing his collar tightened a little, as if to hint at him.

"You are facing a big nobleman, since he has dismissed Chen, the first dismount has been achieved, and the next thing is to promise benefits, he doesn't want to be ruined, then he has to win over Chen, I don't know if Chen's identity has brought her convenience, but Earl West will definitely make an appointment with Chen, promise political resources, support her to go higher, and at the same time, it will also be branded as a new nobleman, after all, there is no free lunch in the world."

What Vina said is exactly what Zhou Jinru thinks in his heart, and it is also what he is worried about, Chen in the plot is an upright person, when she faces a nobleman, she must bow her head where she should bow her head, the nobleman is reserved in his identity, and he will promise benefits again and again, until he loses patience, he will be ruthless.

"To be honest, I'm not very willing to deal with these things, more than the crooked ways of the nobles
