love, just one word

When they returned to the police station, Director Tian had already returned. Hearing that Xiaolu beat someone, he was angry and helpless, and told Xiao Lancao that he didn't need to take care of this matter, and he would handle it by himself.After hearing this, Xiao Lancao directly refused.

"How can I do that? Family members and friends commit crimes. In order to avoid suspicion, relevant people cannot intervene. Director Tian, ​​​​you have worked on this island for more than ten years. You watched Wang Xiaolu grow up. If you handle it, it is inevitable that you will be merciful outside the law. So let me do it."

What he said was reasonable, Director Tian couldn't insist, so he had to ask: "Then how are you going to deal with it?"

"He beat someone and left him at the beach. If the person hadn't woken up in time, he might have drowned. This is a serious criminal case, so we have to deal with it in accordance with the law."

"But jurisprudence is nothing more than human feelings. He also did something wrong on the spur of the moment, and he voluntarily surrendered, so he can be given a lighter sentence..."

"How to convict is up to the judge, I will interrogate first."

Xiao Lancao refused to give an inch, Director Tian was so angry that his beard turned up, and he threw all the gifts specially bought for him into the trash can, but Xiao Lancao insisted on doing this, and he had no choice but to just leave it alone. , and left the police station angrily.

Xiao Lancao finished taking notes for Xiaolu and locked him in the small detention room of the police station.

There were no major cases on the island, and the detention room was just a decoration, usually used to store sundries. In the evening, he locked the door to get off work, and while walking on the road, he bumped into Director Tian.

Director Tian greeted Xiao Lancao with a smiling face, and said that he was invited to dinner, and he was extremely enthusiastic. Xiao Lancao knew what the director was thinking, and smiled and said, "It's useless to bribe me. We are the police, and we can't break the law knowingly."

Director Tian changed his face, pointed at him and shouted, "Are you talking about the Fa with me? You were still wearing crotch pants when I was a policeman!"

"Then you can't just listen to you just because you are a veteran, director, I understand your feelings, but you can't just play favoritism because of this, it's not fair to the victim."

After Xiao Lancao finished speaking earnestly, he turned and left. Director Tian was so angry that he walked towards the police station with his hands behind his back. Xiao Lancao called him to stop and reminded him: "Don't let him go, this matter got bigger and hurt him instead. "

"Xiao Lancao, don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You want to find an opportunity to make meritorious service and call out this small island. I'm mistaken. I didn't realize that your heart is so dark before!"

A series of curses came from behind, but Xiao Lancao turned a deaf ear and walked away.

On the way, Xiao Lancao went to a seafood restaurant that Xiao Lancao usually goes to. Normally, the store would have served his favorite dishes long ago, but today he looked disgusted. Before he got close, a basin of water poured on him. On the ground in front of him, the shopkeeper waved at him like chasing flies.

"Go, go, there's nothing here to sell you!"

"Yes, isn't that..."

Xiao Lancao pointed to the prawns in the water tank, and before he finished speaking, the boss shouted, "I won't sell you if you have any, do you know who Xiaolu is? I am a kid, he will never steal from others, if you Don’t let anyone go, don’t even think about entering my shop in the future!”

"Steal something?"

Another pot of water was poured over, which was regarded as a response to Xiao Lancao, so he could only shrug his shoulders and go to other stores.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeepers of other shops reacted in the same way, and they almost beat up people. Everyone said that Xiaolu didn't steal the tourists' things, and Xiao Lancao wanted to make a contribution, so he framed him by taking advantage of the tourists' bumping heads.

This must have been fabricated by Director Tian. He wanted to use everyone's strength to make Xiao Lancao succumb, but he didn't want to drag Xiaomei down, so he made such an excuse. Xiao Lancao was very helpless, and tried to try his luck at another store. also the same.

Finally, he went back to the restaurant hungry. The proprietress was greeting the guests. When she saw him, she came up to him and said, "We've all heard about Xiaolu. Is he alright?"

"He's not good. He robbed money and injured people. He almost died. The sentence will be heavy." After a pause, Xiao Lancao continued, "I'm not good either. I haven't eaten until now, and I've been driven out everywhere. You won't chase me too, will you?"

"No, no, you are a guest when you open the door. Besides, you are also doing your job. Come with me, and I will prepare dinner for you."

The proprietress took Xiao Lancao to the small restaurant on the first floor, and after a while, she brought the dinner over. While Xiao Lancao was eating, she sat across from her and asked in a low voice, "We are all neighbors, can you be lenient?"

Xiao Lancao looked up at her, and the proprietress said, "I think Wang Wei doesn't want to make things big. As the saying goes, if the people don't sue the officials, Xiaolu has been with me for a long time. He is a very good boy. I don't want him to stay. The case."

"Well, let me think about it. In the end, it depends on the person's opinion. I'm afraid that Wang Wei's wife..."

Speaking of Zhu Zhenzhen, Xiao Lancao showed embarrassment, and the proprietress also sighed, and said, "Then I will try to persuade her, everyone is a woman, and I actually understand what she is thinking."

The proprietress left, Xiao Lancao continued to eat with his head down, but before he finished eating, the waiter came to collect the plate, Xiao Lancao said to wait, but the other party didn't pay attention at all, just threw the plate away, leaving him alone Holding chopsticks in a daze.

Everyone's reaction was so obvious, he was a little helpless and a little funny, so he had to get up and go back to the guest room.

Xiao Lancao opened the door with the key, there was movement inside, he raised his vigilance and walked in, but found Xiao Ran and Gan Fengchi, he asked: "This seems to be my room, right? How did you get in?"

Gan Fengchi pointed at Xiao Ran, and made a gesture of picking the lock.

"For the first time, I discovered how convenient it is to have no monitors."

"Oh, Chief of Criminal Investigation Section, you also do this kind of thing?"

Xiao Lancao looked at Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran didn't express any apology at all, and said, "We don't imagine you being rejected everywhere."

"You all know?"

"The small island is such a big place, and a little thing spreads along with the wind. I really didn't expect that you, the section chief who is a heartthrob, will have a day when you will be disliked."

Gan Fengchi smiled and said, Xiao Lancao's hand pointed out.

"Pineapple boy, you'd better disappear before I want to take revenge on you."

"Pineapple Boy asked for new information, you wait until he finishes reporting before making him disappear."

"What information?"

"Xiaowei told me that Chang An came back this time to take her away."

Gan Fengchi had been pestered by Xiao Wei for a long time, and had to play with her, but at last he gained something from playing with her, Xiao Wei got to know him well, so she told him everything about Chang An.

Chang An is very kind to Xiaowei, she also likes Chang An, and wants to accompany Chang An to visit places other than the island, but she has never been out before, so she has no idea, and when her mother asked her, she said, and her mother supported her to leave, He also promised her to keep it secret from her father, but Chang An left without saying goodbye, and she was very sad.

Xiao Lancao thought that Chang An didn't leave without saying goodbye, but that the residents of the island jointly concealed the news of his death from Xiaowei.

"Also, it turned out that the proprietress gave Xiao Wei the wine that Chang An drank before he died. Xiao Wei knew that Chang An liked to drink, so she gave it to him. I wonder if there is something wrong with the wine."

"If there is a problem with the alcohol, the forensic doctor will find it during the autopsy, so it is probably just some alcohol with a relatively strong stamina. Chang An has been abstaining from alcohol for a while, and suddenly a good wine is delivered to him. To him, it is like a drug addict. Like drugs, how could it be possible to endure it? The murderer probably took advantage of this mentality, he is an outsider, and he doesn’t know how scary some seemingly safe places will become when the tide rises.”

"I guess Huang Yao didn't want his daughter to be taken away, that's why he did this. You can see how possessive and controlling he is from his attitude towards his wife. Ah, by the way, when Xiaowei and I came back just now I also bumped into him, you didn’t see his face at that time, he almost gave me a fist, he took Xiaowei away, and warned me that if I get close to his daughter again, he will call the police and arrest me, Ke Long, I don’t want to be handcuffed with you every day.”

Xiao Ran turned his head aside, seeing his shoulder trembling, he knew he was holding back a smile, Xiao Lancao glared at Gan Fengchi angrily.

"Don't worry, you don't have that chance, and that Mr. Xiao, don't laugh, how did you get today?"

When it comes to business, Xiao Ran resumed his poker face, and said: "I am the opposite of Pineapple Boy, and there is no gain. The witch looked at the photo, and she said that the person in it was her, but she didn't remember what happened when the photo was taken. The people who took pictures with her are not on the island now, and she doesn't know where she went, but..."

"But what?"

"Looking at her expression and reaction when she looked at the photos, I felt that she actually knew something, but she didn't say it on purpose, so I set the words for a long time, but unfortunately she didn't take the bait. Later, I wanted to try my luck, so I took I went to the nearby residents to inquire about the photos, and I met a few elderly people, and they also said that the people in the photos had gone to work outside the island, or they had passed away, so there was no harvest for this day.”

"It's not a waste of time. At least we know how united the island residents are. Maybe they know the message revealed in the photo, but they just don't say it."

Xiao Lancao recounted her experience, and Gan Fengchi said, "It sounds like Xiao Lu is taking the blame for someone else."

"That's right. But in order to make the real culprit relax my vigilance, I'm going to use my tricks. If I'm lucky, I can watch a good show tonight."

Xiao Lancao assigned Gan Fengchi night work, Gan Fengchi agreed, looked at Xiao Ran, and asked, "We have been investigating the case of the section chief since we came to the island, what about the jewelry case we are in charge of?"

Xiao Ran didn't speak, looked at Xiao Lancao, Xiao Lancao smiled at them.

"Leave that matter to me, I know it well."

"What is it?"

"I can't say for the time being, I will tell you when there is conclusive evidence."

Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't intend to ask, Gan Fengchi had no choice but to leave with doubts. After he left, Xiao Lancao asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"They were very enthusiastic about the food I ate at the residents' homes, and they confiscated it even if I wanted to pay."

"I paid for it, and they won't do it," Xiao Lancao sighed, looking at the mud on the trouser legs, "I'll change clothes, let's go out."

"Are you going to spy on Xiaomei?"

"Yes, but before that, let's go to Youqian's studio first."

Xiao Lancao didn't bring his clothes, so he opened Xiao Ran's suitcase, found a set of casual clothes, and changed into a T-shirt with wide-leg cropped pants. After putting it on, he looked back and forth in the mirror and said, " It doesn’t quite fit my aesthetics, but it’s a tough time, I’m handsome anyway, and I look good in anything I wear.”

Xiao Lancao usually wears a suit. Xiao Ran rarely sees him wearing casual clothes. He thought it was quite interesting at first, but he didn't expect the clothes to be ridiculed by him. He said lightly: "If this is what you want me to take off for you Excuse, I'm happy to oblige."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lancao turned around happily.

"Okay, okay, it's still early anyway, do you want to have a shot?"

"Are you trying to squeeze me dry? Don't forget we have work to do."

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he walked out, Xiao Lancao shrugged and followed, and the two went to the top floor, where You Qian's studio was in a certain room on the top floor.

As soon as they went up the stairs, they heard a commotion. The two looked at each other, and Xiao Lancao murmured softly, "Another case happened? Isn't it?"

When he first came to this island, he originally intended to change his working environment to relax. Who knows that Xiao Ran also came soon, and brought a jewelry case, and then the tourists were beaten. If something happened again, he would really Doubt if I have the energy to deal with it.

The proprietress ran towards her and saw Xiao Lancao, she exclaimed in surprise: "Officer Xiao, you came just in time, hurry up and stop them, they are fighting."

Xiao Lancao followed her and ran over, and saw a man and You Qian pushing and rubbing each other. Mr. Yang persuaded him, and he asked, "What's going on?" As soon as You Qian saw Xiao Lancao, he regained his energy and ran to him. Pointing at the man in front of him, he shouted, "I stole his wallet!"

Xiao Lancao was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, or that You Qian had used the wrong subject—it was the first time he had called someone stealing something so confidently.

"Who stole the wallet?"

"Me! I stole his wallet, so you catch me, quick, handcuff me!"

You Qian stretched out his hands in front of Xiao Lancao, Xiao Lancao looked at the man whose wallet was stolen, and Mr. Yang with an embarrassed face, he had tasted it - You Qian had seen Xiao Ran for two days Handcuffed with himself, he wants to do the same, you idiot!

He pushed You Qian away, the man's expression was ugly, and he said, "Forget it, anyway, I got my wallet back."

Youqian became anxious when he heard it, and shouted: "I stole the wallet, how can I forget it, I made a mistake, I will confess and be lenient..."

"you shut up!"

Xiao Lancao thought to himself, does this guy think he is not busy enough?He scolded You Qian, and said to Mr. Yang and the man, "Tell me about the situation." You Qian was scolded, leaning against the corner with his head bowed, and Mr. Yang said, "It's nothing serious, just now we When looking at Mr. You's paintings, Mr. You felt that Mr. Chen's wallet was quite distinctive, so he made a little joke with him and secretly put his wallet in his pocket. Mr. Chen was a little anxious when he couldn't find the wallet. , the voice was a little louder, the waiter called the proprietress, but it was just a joke, Mr. You is so rich and talented, how could he steal from others.”

Xiao Lancao felt that Mr. Yang's words were too reserved, and the actual situation was probably someone stealing something blatantly.

You Qian retorted: "No, no, no, I don't earn much, and being talented doesn't prevent me from stealing my wallet, I really..."

"you shut up!"

Being scolded again, You Qian lowered his head again and remained silent.

Xiao Lancao asked Mr. Chen.

"Is there anything else you need to add?"

Mr. Chen sullenly said, well, it would be strange to feel better after meeting such an idiot, after all he has a good manner.

He forced a smile on his face and said, "It's exactly what Mr. Yang said, it's just a joke, forget it."

When You Qian heard this, he became anxious again, and wanted to refute, Xiao Ran walked to his side and reminded: "Officer Xiao told you to shut up."

You Qian glared at him, Xiao Ran said slowly: "The most important thing in pursuing someone is not to make him angry. If you can't even figure this out, even wearing ankle boots is useless."

These words are quite easy to use, You Qian honestly stopped talking, Xiao Lancao proposed to Mr. Chen to record a statement, but he refused, and told Mr. Yang to leave. Before leaving, Mr. Yang complained to You Qian in a low voice.

"You said you were joking, why can't you tell the seriousness, if someone wants to buy your painting, will he still buy it after such a commotion?"

"I'm not short of the money for those paintings."

You Qian muttered in a low voice, Xiao Lancao looked sideways, and he swallowed back the words that followed, the proprietress was relieved when she saw that it was all right, and left with Mr. Yang.

After everyone left, Xiao Lancao said to You Qian: "I'm very busy now, if you make trouble for me, be careful I will cut you."

His tone was very heavy, You Qian didn't dare to refute, looked at him and then at Xiao Ran, said in a low voice to go back to the studio and was about to leave, Xiao Lancao stopped him, slowed down his tone, and said: "If you honestly explain what happened just now I'm considering asking you to paint my portrait."

"Really, I said I said!"

You Qian regained his energy, Xiao Lancao entered the studio, and he followed in, saying: "Mr. Yang just said that I just moved Mr. Chen's wallet from A to B, just to... It was a joke, I didn’t really want his money.”

"Even if you want to find a chance to be detained, it's useless. I just have a pair of handcuffs, and now I use them on Wang Xiaolu."

You Qian looked disappointed and said: "So let's take it as a joke. Mr. Chen lost his temper just now when he found out that his wallet was missing, and almost beat me up. Fortunately, Mr. Yang stopped me. I really can't tell. Yesterday we talked very A steady person suddenly feels like a rabies attack, in fact, he really has no money in his wallet, just a few cards.”

"Is there an ID card in there?"

"Yes, I didn't pay attention, I was frightened, so I didn't look carefully."

"Fortunately, the other party didn't say they would sue you, otherwise this kind of thing can be big or small..."

Xiao Lancao also came to Youqian's studio for the first time. He looked at the room and asked, there were drawing boards and easels inside, and some brushes fell on the floor, which should have been knocked over during the quarrel just now. He asked, "Which one would you like to buy, Mr. Chen?" A painting?"

"He is interested in these two paintings and is negotiating the price. The negotiation is almost done."

You Qian pointed to the two paintings in front of him and said, - one is a seascape, the other is an island scenery, Xiao Lancao continued in his mind--the talk was almost done, but it was messed up by your idiot.

"Is the painting Mr. Yang selected still available?"

"It's all framed and sent to his guest room. Do you want to see it? I'll take you there."

"No, I'll just ask."

Xiao Lancao walked around the studio, looking at the oil painting and the frame on the shelf, but found nothing strange, so he said goodbye and left. You Qian reluctantly sent him out and asked, "Don't you want to look at it again? Which one do you want, I will give it to you for free."

"No, just keep drawing."

Xiao Lancao said casually, and walked a few steps forward, when You Qian suddenly stopped him.

"Officer Xiao, I don't mind keeping a criminal record. In fact, creators like us are more independent and special, the more popular they are. Having a criminal record is just a hype stunt. This is my own choice and has nothing to do with you. Don't feel guilty."

——Who is guilty?Neuropathy!

Ren Xiao Lancao was exquisite, met such a person, he couldn't laugh or cry, afraid of being entangled again, he walked down the stairs quickly, Xiao Ran followed behind without speaking, the two left the hotel one after the other, the night was dark outside, the distance Occasionally came the laughter of tourists.

Not long after they walked out, they met Granny Zhang. She was carrying a small bag for knitting needles, and she came back from a walk by the beach with her group members.

Seeing them, she ran over and joked, "You're still handcuffed together."

"No, he has been cleared of the charges. I will send him to the police station to close the case."

Xiao Lancao had something on her mind, so she wanted to leave after answering casually, but Granny Zhang took him to chat, saying that the scenery on the island is so beautiful, and that you can go fishing in the sea by boat, and finally talked about Wang Wei and Zhu Zhenzhen, saying They reconciled, went to the doctor together in the morning, and went fishing with them in a small boat in the afternoon.

Xiao Ran asked, "Is Wang Wei's injury okay?"

"No, no, I've asked, it's just a small injury, and it's just a bag, but his wife is terribly worried. The relationship between husband and wife is really hard to say. When you get better, you can do anything for each other. If you turn against it, it's like They are enemies, wishing to kill each other, what's more interesting is that these outsiders can't see it."

"Grandma, it sounds like you have a lot of experience."

"Of course, that's how my wife and I have come here these years. We had countless arguments when he was alive, and we didn't know how many times we thought about divorce. Now that he's gone, I miss him a little bit."

Granny Zhang was talking, and turned her head to look at the sea in the distance. Xiao Lancao felt that there were tears in her eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood, waved her hand and said goodbye to the two, and chased her companion back to the hotel.

Xiao Lancao looked at her back thoughtfully, Xiao Ran walked forward, Xiao Lancao recovered, caught up with him, and asked with a smile: "I haven't spoken all the time, are you jealous?"

"No, I was thinking about what my mother-in-law said. Whether it's Wang Wei's couple or Huang Yao's couple, outsiders can't tell what their relationship is like."

"Yeah, it's like our relationship. Even Pineapple Boy didn't notice it. Fortunately, he is still a policeman." Xiao Lancao complained casually, then suddenly stopped, and a strange thought flashed through his mind. Xiao Ran asked, "What's the matter?" ?”

"It's nothing, it's my mother-in-law's words that made me think of a certain possibility."

Xiao Lancao murmured, Xiao Ran was still watching him, he smiled and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, anyway, there's no rush, let's check slowly."

It was quite late, and Xiao Lancao chose a small path again. The leaves of the palm trees covered the moonlight, and it was very dark around him. He had a whim, and he had been with Xiao Ran for so long, and it seemed that he hadn't fought a field battle. yes.

Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran didn't think as much as he did, his expression was calm, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xiao Lancao elbowed him and asked, "Thinking about a case?"

"No, I was thinking about Youqian."

"Heh, you must think that guy is annoying, right?"

"No, I thought he was a bit annoying and neurotic, but seeing him take the initiative to be a thief, I think he is quite real."

"Are you okay officer? He's a criminal."

"I know that his behavior is wrong in legal terms, but it is understandable in human terms. Liking is the kind of mentality that can do anything for the other party regardless of the cost. It may look stupid to outsiders, but I like it."

"What about you? How much will you do for me?"

Xiao Ran stopped, held Xiao Lancao's hand, and said, "I thought you knew everything."

"I know, but I still want you to say it."

Xiao Ran didn't speak, approached Xiao Lancao, pressed him against the tree and kissed him.

The surroundings were dark, which provided the best place for lovers to have intimate contact. The two kissed passionately. Xiao Lancao was about to move in his heart, and was about to have a deeper communication. Xiao Ran suddenly asked: "Do you think Chang An will be like this?"

Xiao Lancao's expression picture is different, the atmosphere is obviously very warm, but Xiao Ran is thinking about the case, which makes him wonder if his charm is not strong enough, and at the same time, he is even more infatuated with Xiao Ran, because this is what he likes Xiao Ran the most place.

Thinking of this, he laughed, Xiao Ran didn't understand what he was laughing at, and looked at him strangely, Xiao Lancao pulled Xiao Ran forward, and said: "It is very possible that people who are in love will have lower IQ, just like you just now As I said, what may seem stupid to outsiders, but the person involved thinks it is normal.

'

"Chang An fell in love with Xiao Wei and wanted to take her away, but Huang Yao's desire to possess and control him definitely disagreed, so Chang An threatened Huang Yao with some things he discovered, knowing that it would be dangerous to do so, but He did it anyway, in a sense, his behavior was the same as Yoo Chan’s.”

"Well, it makes sense, but we don't know what those things are. After such a long time, the photos that Chang An took away were probably destroyed by Huang Yao. There is no problem with Chang An's death. Now there is no evidence. It is difficult to let Huang Yao Yao and his wife are showing their feet."

"So you locked up Xiao Lu just to provoke Huang Yao and his wife?"

"Well, I suspect that Xiaomei saw them knocking out Wang Wei. She was threatened, that's why she was so scared. I hope I can use this to get them hooked. They should be afraid that Xiaomei can't help but tell the truth."

"If they were really afraid that Xiaomei would speak out, then why didn't they kill people to silence them in the first place?"

This is also what Xiao Lancao finds strange. The murderer had a full plan and brutality when he committed the crime for the first time, but last night it was more like an unexpected situation. The sense of violation made him unable to ignore it.

"Perhaps human nature is more complicated than we imagined."
