love, just one word

In the evening, Xiao Lancao and Xiao Ran met. Xiao Ran brought two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news was that Xiao Ke identified Mr. Chen's identity through fingerprint investigation. His grandson.

He is a second-hand dealer. As the name suggests, he is responsible for selling stolen goods, reselling them or helping introduce customers to buy them, and earn intermediary fees. He will appear here, and it must be related to those jewels. Xiao Ran suspects that after receiving the jewels, he will sell them Hidden in the frame of the picture frame, that's why he doesn't care about which painting to buy. He just wants to use the picture frame to attract everyone's attention.

Xiao Lancao said, "There are too many tourists coming in and out of this small island every day. No one would have thought that someone would conduct a criminal transaction in a tourist attraction. I guess they just wanted to transfer jewelry directly. Later, they heard that the police came to investigate. It was only because of the rumors that I thought of using oil painting to turn around.”

"That's right. You Qian's paintings are sold and then framed. He just needs to replace them with hollow frames. In order to transfer jewelry, he has to spend a lot of money to buy paintings. It's quite a struggle."

"Mr. Yang is all right?"

"He didn't. He was probably just being used by Lao Sun. I asked Pineapple to collect evidence. The other colleagues should arrive in the evening. Be sure to catch Lao Sun and his accomplices."

Xiao Ran's eyes sparkled, Xiao Lancao smiled and said, "It seems that Section Chief Xiao is going to beat me this time."

"It's also thanks to your help. Without your connection, if I didn't know You Qian, I wouldn't have found out that there was a problem with the buyer."

Xiao Ran said modestly, but the cover-up was not in place, Xiao Lancao snorted, not expecting at the last moment, who knows who is the real winner.

He remained calm and asked, "What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the witch insisted that she didn't remember. She also said that the mother-in-law who told us the news was confused and talking nonsense. Well, she was a little confused, and what she said could not be used as evidence."

"Even if these are evidence, they can't prove anything. After all, it happened decades ago, but I'm curious about what she said."

"She said that apart from her family and the witch, Huang Yao's family was also photographed. These are Huang Yao's parents and his uncle. The woman sitting here is his aunt."

Xiao Ran called out the photos on his phone, pointed to several people inside and told Xiao Lancao that his aunt was sitting on a rock, and he said: "Huang Yao's uncle and aunt are not in good health, they all moved out of Emerald Island a long time ago , passed away very early, I asked Huang Yao's parents, the mother-in-law said that she didn't know, she had no contact with the people on the island, she only remembered that there were a few children who took pictures, including Huang Yao, and his cousins .”

"Huang Yao is not in this photo, it is probably in the one that was taken away, and it is also the one that Chang An used to threaten him."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm still waiting for Lao Bai's contact. Let's play it by ear when the time comes. Let's settle your case first."

In the evening, Xiao Ran's men rushed over, and they cooperated with Gan Fengchi to search the guest room of Mr. Chen, Lao Sun, and successfully found the jewelry he had hidden in the picture frame.

With the evidence in front of him, Lao Sun honestly pleaded guilty. He is also considered to be a good-for-nothing man. He confessed all his accomplices without further questioning from the police. The road is not right, and what they do is doing justice for the sky.

He spoke righteously, Xiao Ran didn't bother to refute, and when he finished talking nonsense, he was escorted away.

Gan Fengchi had always locked the suspect on the alcoholic Zhang, but he didn't expect that the jewelry case had nothing to do with him at all. He was just a tourist who came to the island to play.

"Learn a lesson and gain wisdom," Xiao Lancao comforted him, "Not everyone who looks suspicious is a criminal."

"Aside from him, who else could steal the ring on the ferry and blame Section Chief Xiao? Could it be that Zhu Zhenzhen really directed and acted it?"

"About this matter, there will be an answer soon."

"Who the hell is it? Section Chief, tell me quickly, don't be a fool."

"I can tell you, but before that, you have to do me a favor."

Xiao Lancao looked over with a smile, cold sweat broke out on Gan Fengchi's back, based on his understanding of his boss, whenever Xiao Lancao showed such a smile, it meant that someone was about to suffer.

The news of the police searching for the theft of jewels quickly spread throughout the island. Hearing that the criminal's accomplices were still lurking on the island, everyone was in a state of panic. The most nervous thing was the proprietress. With snot and tears, he said that Xiaowei was gone, and he couldn't find her after dinner. Could it be that she was kidnapped by criminals?

Director Tian watched Xiaowei grow up, and he became anxious when he heard it. He summoned the residents on the island to search around, and asked the hotel guests to agree to let them enter the house to search, in case criminals hide in the guest rooms and tourists are raped. Panicked, they all cooperated with their investigation.

It's a pity that Xiaowei was not found anywhere after a search. What's worse, Director Tian found that Xiaolu had escaped. When the news came out, everyone immediately exploded. Zhu Zhenzhen accused Director Tian of covering up criminals on the spot, saying it was all It is believed that the gangsters would not dare to enter the restaurant to commit murder.

Everyone still wanted to continue watching the play, and no one wanted to leave, so Xiao Lancao said to Director Tian: "Let's go and persuade everyone first, come back later, and give Xiaomei some time to calm down."

They went to persuade the tourists, Xiaomei saw that everyone had gone out, she was a little scared, she stood up and wanted to stop Xiao Lancao, but at this moment, the lights suddenly went out, someone exclaimed, Xiao Lancao hurriedly told everyone not to mess around When they moved, they heard the sound of chairs overturning in the darkness, followed by a woman's scream. Everyone didn't know what happened, and they froze there and did not dare to move.

The lights were turned on again soon, and the screams had not stopped. Everyone followed the screams and saw that it was the proprietress. She was holding a dagger in her hand and wanted to stab Xiaomei, but Xiaomei held it. With a twist, the dagger fell to the ground.

"You? You are not Xiaomei, who are you? Return my daughter to me, or I will kill you!"

The proprietress yelled crazily, her hair was messed up in the struggle, where she still had her usual beautiful and elegant temperament, Director Tian rushed up to hold her down, Xiaomei took two steps back and took off the wig on her head, but it was Gan Fengchi, who deliberately Changed into the same clothes as Xiaomei, it looked funny, but no one present could laugh.

The real Xiaomei stood not far away and was taken care of by Xiao Ran. Because she was afraid, she held on to Xiao Ran's sleeve tightly. Xiao Ran comforted her softly and told her that it was all right, but the way the proprietress looked at her still made her feel uncomfortable. shudder.

The proprietress was held down and couldn't move, she stared at her fiercely, and shouted: "I should have killed you that night!, I will kill you!"

Xiao Mei was so scared that she hid behind Xiao Ran, Xiao Lancao also stepped forward to block the gaze of the proprietress, and asked her.

"It was you who knocked Wang Wei out that night, right?"

"How do you know? Did she tell you?"

"No, you told me yourself."

The proprietress couldn't understand, her beautiful face twisted, Xiao Lancao said, "Don't worry, your daughter is fine, she's just playing games with me, she's hiding."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I know that Xiaowei's disappearance will anger you, and because you are afraid that Xiaomei will not be able to bear the pressure and tell the truth in public, you will definitely do it."

Xiao Lancao took out her mobile phone and pulled out the resume of the proprietress. This time, Lao Bai investigated in detail, from her birth, schooling to employment, and the joint operation of the restaurant after her marriage with Huang Yao, until they moved to Emerald Island. , have been recorded.

He put the photos of the proprietress when she was a student and the photos of her after marriage side by side. The proprietress turned pale when she saw it, and she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Huang Yao came over, hugged her and patted her on the shoulder, comforting: "It's okay, I will take care of everything."

"Yeah, every time she does something wrong, you have to deal with the aftermath." Xiao Lancao's words contained coconut elm and sympathy.

After reading the resume of the proprietress, he had already guessed the cause of the whole incident, but he had no evidence, so he could only use the proprietress' desire to control and suspicious of his daughter to lure her out. Seeing that Xiaomei wants to tell the truth, she will definitely kill her.

He had asked the waiter beforehand, and he knew that the restaurant had fireworks twice a month, and the proprietress would be responsible for turning off the lights. She knew the decorations in the restaurant and could easily walk in through the back door in the dark. The proprietress never showed up after Xiaomei was brought. Xiao Lancao was even more sure of this.

So all of this was arranged by Xiao Lancao, Xiao Ran, and Gan Fengchi early in the morning. The moment the lights went out, Xiao Ran immediately took Xiaomei away, and Gan Fengchi sat there instead. Come to kill Xiaomei.

After Huang Yao appeared, the proprietress changed her original madness and leaned against him with a frightened look. If she hadn't seen her kill someone with a knife, Gan Fengchi would have never believed that she was the murderer, and sighed: " Killing people in public, even if you succeed, you will be discovered soon, you really think you are acting in a movie."

"No, she doesn't think that much. She has a violent and irritable personality. She does what she thinks of, and she doesn't think about the consequences. Anyway, Huang Yao will help her settle it every time."

Xiao Lancao looked at Huang Yao while talking, but Huang Yao did not refute, his expression proved that he was right.

Director Tian asked Xiao Lancao.

"You're not mistaken? The proprietress has a very good personality. She is very enthusiastic when receiving people."

"That's because you haven't touched her bottom line. Some mentally ill patients don't show obvious symptoms. They look like normal people on the outside, but once they anger her, she will suddenly explode and do self-harm or It's hurtful behavior."

"Psychopath? You mean the lady boss?"

Director Tian became even more confused.

Other police colleagues responded outside the restaurant, and the situation on the scene was under control. Except for a few parties, the guests were persuaded to leave, and the surroundings became quiet. After a while, Xiaolu followed a policeman and ran in. Xiaomei saw He immediately stepped forward and grabbed his hand, asking, "Where did you go? Did you meet any bad guys?"

Xiaolu looked at Xiao Lancao and said, "I didn't go anywhere. I hid in the duty room of the police station on the advice of Police Officer Xiao. When you were looking for someone everywhere, I watched TV inside."

Director Tian became more confused the more he listened, and asked Xiao Lancao.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Actually, the jewelry criminal has already escaped from Emerald Island, but in order to lure another murderer out, I resorted to tricks and made a trap. The murderer found out that her daughter was missing and heard that the deer had escaped, which would arouse her murderous nature, so he walked away. The risk of killing people in public is not only to vent their anger, but also to prevent Xiaomei from telling the truth about Wang Wei being knocked out."

The proprietress lay on Huang Yao's body and began to cry. Huang Yao patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, and glared at Xiao Lancao angrily.

"You are mean."

"I think you are the least qualified person to say such a sentence." Xiao Lancao replied coldly, Zhu Zhenzhen couldn't help it, ran up, pointed at the deer, and asked, "Did you knock my husband out?"

Is it not this man? "

"Of course not, it was the proprietress who hit the person, no... maybe it should be called murder. She wanted to kill Wang Wei at the time. If Huang Yao didn't stop him in time, Wang Wei would have died. Xiaomei just arrived at that time , saw the scene where the proprietress did something, she was frightened by the hysterical appearance of the proprietress, and was also intimidated by Huang Yao, that's why she didn't dare to tell the truth, right?"

Xiao Lancao looked at Xiaomei, who nodded repeatedly.

"I've never seen the boss's wife like that. She was going to kill people. The boss said that if I dared to speak out, I would kill my whole family. Later, I saw that Wang Wei was fine, so I thought I could hide the past. I didn't expect Xiaolu to plead guilty."

"I thought it was that bastard man who failed you. You acted on the spur of the moment. I was afraid that you would leave a criminal record, so I pleaded guilty."

After Xiaolu finished speaking, Xiao Lancao asked him.

"Is this what Huang Yao hinted at you?"

"how do you know?"

"Anyway, I'm also a policeman. It depends on your personality. If you really have a problem with Wang Wei, you will beat him face to face instead of knocking him out and letting him go. You grew up on the island, so you should be very clear about the consequences of the high tide. What happens. If you didn't do it, someone abetted it."

"So you knew from the beginning that I didn't do it? Then shut me up?"

"If you are locked up, the real murderer will relax his vigilance and be easy to take the bait."

Wang Wei turned pale with fright, and asked, "But why? I have no grievances with the proprietress, why did she kill me?"

Director Tian also said, "Yes, why did the proprietress want to kill Wang Wei? It makes sense to say that Xiaolu did it, Xiaomei did it, and even Zhu Zhenzhen did it, but the proprietress and Wang Wei couldn't fight each other."

"All this is due to a misunderstanding. As I said just now, the place where Wang Wei was knocked out was very close to the place where Chang An drowned. Wang Wei actually wanted to date Xiaomei there that night. When he arrived at the hotel, he kept chatting with Xiaomei, thinking that he was asking the waiter for information, and later saw him approaching Chang An's death scene, thinking that he knew some secret, so he killed him."

"Guilt of being a thief? What do you mean——she killed Chang An?"

Director Tian asked, Xiao Lancao looked at Huang Yao.

"It's better for you to say this. You are the one who knows the truth best."

Huang Yao looked at the proprietress, the proprietress shook her head at him, he was still hesitating, Gan Fengchi ran in from outside, and handed the photo in his hand to Xiao Lancao, it was an old black and white photo decades ago.

When Huang Yao saw the photo, his face immediately changed. Gan Fengchi said to him: "The witch gave it to me. She was worried about Xiaowei's accident, and she told me the truth about the relationship between you and the proprietress's cousin, as well as her. We also know about the murder and the impersonation of others.”

Everyone came over to look at it, and saw a group photo of several children in the photo. Gan Fengchi pointed to the two children holding hands at the far end, and said, "This is Huang Yao, and this is his cousin Huang Mei, who is the proprietress. They They are cousins. Huang Yao’s family has always believed that their blood is noble, so they have always intermarried within the family. This has caused many people in their family to suffer from congenital diseases. For example, Huang Mei’s parents were in poor health and passed away in their prime. Well, Huangmei herself also suffers from mental illness, and the residents on the island kept them at arm's length, and later they left Emerald Island to work outside."

The child in the photo is very small and the picture is not very clear. Director Tian looked at the photo and the proprietress for a long time, but he couldn't be sure that it was the same person. My sister seems to have passed away a long time ago."

"Because they played a scene where Li Daitao became stiff, and the one who actually passed away was another person, who is also the name that the proprietress uses now, Wang Yuemei."

Upon hearing this, the proprietress suddenly became very excited and shouted: "I am not Wang Yuemei, I am not Huangmei, I am the proprietress, and I am the proprietress of this restaurant!"

She began to struggle, Huang Yao hurriedly comforted her, and it took her a long time to coax her. When she calmed down, Xiao Lancao signaled Gan Fengchi to continue talking.

"Wang Yuemei's parents died very early. She lived in a relative's house for a period of time and was always excluded. So she came out to work after graduating from high school. She was introverted and had no friends or relatives to keep in touch with. Later, she met Huangmei. She regards Huangmei as a good friend, but Huangmei regards her as a prey, because Wang Yuemei has no relatives and no reason, her death will not attract anyone's attention."

Gan Fengchi took out the photo of Wang Yuemei she had received and placed it side by side with the photo of the proprietress when she was young. The two were indeed somewhat similar. Xiaomei asked tremblingly, "Why did she kill Wang Yuemei?"

"The reason is very simple, because close relatives cannot intermarry, whether it is secular or legal, and the proprietress desperately wants to be with Huang Yao, she can only use this method, so Wang Yuemei was introverted before marriage, but she became introverted after marriage. You have to be lively and outgoing, that’s because of a different person.”

"No, I didn't want to kill her. I regarded her as a good friend, but she wanted to use my resemblance to seduce my husband. Of course she should be damned. She died so easily, and it was easy for her! My husband likes me, You don't like my face!"

The proprietress yelled to refute, everyone looked at Huang Yao, Huang Yao was silent, Xiao Lancao said: "The cause is not important anymore, the fact is that Huang Mei replaced Wang Yuemei's identity and married you, and have Children, this has also become evidence that Chang An threatens you."

The proprietress was very excited. Seeing that Huang Yao wanted to refute, Huang Yao signaled her to calm down. The facts were in front of him. He didn't evade any more, and said, "Chang An came to the island to gather folk songs. Wei liked him very much, and even quarreled with us because of him. We were all relieved when he left, but he reappeared not long after, and came to me privately and said that Xiaowei should not stay here anymore, she should go to the island He thought that I would not agree, so he took out the photos taken in the history museum. It turned out that he had guessed the truth. During this period, he went to investigate the matter between me and my cousin. He said that if I refused , make it public."

Director Tian asked, "So you killed him?"

"No, I know he won't really reveal the secret. He likes Xiaowei and won't do anything to make Xiaowei sad. I actually want Xiaowei to leave this island and the cursed family more than he does, so I agreed. , but I didn’t expect Xiaowei to tell my cousin about it, I knew it was bad when I heard her talk about it, I rushed to the beach, the sea has been high tide for a long time, I can’t save Chang’an.”

"So I can only pretend that I don't know anything. Although Xiaowei was very sad afterwards, she has a limited IQ, and she will forget it sooner or later. I thought it was over like this. I didn't expect my cousin to kill Wang Wei again. Later, the police I have been involved in the investigation again, and I can’t hide anything.”

"I saw some children's engravings in the rock cave, did you and Huangmei engrave them?"

"Yeah, it was engraved many years ago. At that time we didn't understand anything. We made a vow that we would be together forever. Later I realized that it was wrong, but I can't change my fate..."

The proprietress became anxious when she heard this, and shook her head vigorously at Huang Yao, who ignored him and said, "I couldn't find any photos in the history museum of Grandma Wu. I thought it was Chang An who hid it, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. This has become my heart disease, I have been paying attention to the behavior of the people around me, that's why I found out that my cousin went crazy again that night, fortunately I arrived in time to prevent her from killing people."

"No, Chang An didn't take the photo. The witch hid the photo. In fact, she had already seen that the proprietress is Huangmei, but for Xiaowei, she has been pretending to be foolish."

"So this is ah."

Huang Yao laughed at himself, and stretched out his hands to Xiao Lancao. Xiao Lancao shook his chin for Gan Fengchi. Gan Fengchi took out handcuffs and handcuffed him. Another policeman next to him also handcuffed the proprietress, and took her away. She didn't want to leave, so she rushed Huang Yao shouted: "Cousin, you like me, right?" Huang Yao nodded, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you, just like we carved in the cave."

"Uh-huh!"

The proprietress was relieved and nodded with a smile. She didn't resist the police anymore and followed him out. Gan Fengchi looked at Huang Yao from the side. This man aged a lot in an instant, which made him feel a little pitiful. He couldn't help asking: "Do you regret this? Do?"

"No, this is probably my fate. I have been living in fear all these years, but now I am relieved, which is good," Huang Yao said, paused, and then said to Gan Fengchi: "Please tell Wu Mother-in-law, ask her to help take care of Xiaowei."

"I will."

Huang Yao and his wife were taken away, Xiao Ran looked at their backs and asked Xiao Lancao. "Do you think Huang Yao really likes Huang Mei?"

"Yes, so he knew it was dangerous, but he still didn't cross out the words on the rock. He actually wanted to escape the family curse. He wanted to find an ordinary person to live an ordinary life, so he chose Wang Yuemei. Wang Yuemei is an ordinary person. The man, who looks like Huangmei, fulfilled his two wishes at the same time, but this wish was broken by Huangmei, he had to help Huangmei, time and time again, because he liked her, besides the love between men and women, he also had childhood sweethearts. Until Xiao Wei was born, Xiao Wei's congenital disease made Huang Yao lose hope. He knew that there was no other solution, so he finally succumbed to fate, took his family back to the island, and said that Xiao Wei was a child with a head He was injured before, he didn't want anyone to be hurt again, but he didn't expect that people are not as good as God..."

"That's why he always pays attention to who the proprietress is chatting with, not because of jealousy, but because he is worried that she will suddenly go crazy and hurt others."

"Do you know why we don't know the name of the proprietress? Because she is unwilling to use Wang Yuemei's name, but she can't use Huangmei, so she can only call herself the proprietress. Her tragedy is caused by herself."

The other onlookers hadn't fully recovered from the truth, and they stood there stunned. Xiao Lancao asked his colleagues to take them away. At this time, Director Tian had the opportunity to ask the questions in his heart, and looked Xiao Lancao up and down.

"You're not an ordinary policeman, are you?"

Xiao Lancao smiled slightly, and was about to answer when a policeman hurried in, leaned into Xiao Ran's ear and said a few words, Xiao Ran's expression changed, Xiao Lancao asked, "What's wrong?"

"One of the jewels is missing, and it's also the biggest one. I'll go and have a look."

Xiao Ran ran out, Xiao Lancao said to Gan Fengchi: "You go too, see if you can help me."

"Yes."

Gan Fengchi ran away, Director Tian looked at Xiao Lancao again, and said, "Not only are you not an ordinary policeman, you also have a very high position."

"We'll discuss this matter later."

After Xiao Lancao finished speaking, he ran out, Director Tian shouted from behind: "Where are you going?"

"Catch a thief."
