Lu Zhizhong once worked for Wu Xingyu's law firm, but he was not from Jingchuan, so after retiring, he returned to the small town where his hometown was located to settle down.

The town is located in the south of Jingchuan, in a beautiful mountain depression, and most of the local people make a living by growing flowers.The car drove into the mountain along the national road, and there were flower fields and greenhouses on both sides. Although it was only the beginning of March, the pleasant fragrance of flowers was already wafting in the air.

Xiao Su woke up in this quiet fragrance. Recently he seemed to be particularly lethargic. He often sat there and dreamed unknowingly.

"Are there soon?" Xiao Su put on his glasses and saw courtyards and small buildings dotted among flower fields in the distant mountains. He didn't expect such a paradise-like place around Jingchuan.

"It's right in front." Rongrui opened the car window, and the fragrance of flowers in the air became clearer, mixed with the sweetness of lilies, roses and gardenias, which made people relax physically and mentally.

"It's so beautiful." Xiao Su leaned on the car window and looked into the distance, took out his mobile phone to take a few pictures of the scenery like a middle-aged and elderly traveler, "It's good to live here when I'm old, there must be no smog in winter."

"Okay." Rong Rui said casually, "I'll buy a flower field here after I retire, and we'll build our own house to live in."

Xiao Su foolishly nodded in agreement, and then felt a strange BUFF flickering on his head - how could you talk to the old couple about how to provide for the elderly?

Rong Rui didn't realize it, and said enthusiastically, "Take two more dogs to watch the house, and two cats to watch the dogs."

"..." Xiao Su didn't know where he had so many old-age imaginations for a little kid, and his mind wandered for a while, and he said in a strange way, "Raise two more pigs, a group of chickens, ducks and geese?"

"Buy another walk-behind tractor." Rong Rui said solemnly, "Buy fertilizers and seeds during the busy farming season... You can also drive it to go shopping in the city when you are free, which is much more exciting than a supercar."

Xiao Su laughed angrily at him, reached out and patted the back of his head: "Be your policeman!"

Rong Rui turned his head to hide for a while, pursed his lips and smiled, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slight arc.Xiao Su stared at his side face, and suddenly realized that he had grown a little in the past few months, with a square jaw, sharp eyebrows and eyes, showing a more resolute masculinity.

Once upon a time, he still had a youthful look on his face, and he needed to put on a straight face to pretend to be mature from time to time, but now, even with a smile on his lips, he has an aura of calmness and prestige.

"What are you looking at?" Rong Rui caught his gaze from the corner of the eye and asked.

"It's nothing." Xiao Su moved his eyes away and continued to take pictures with his mobile phone, but suddenly a very strange agitation stirred up in his heart.

If it weren't for... such a boy would not lose if he was pushed down...

After all, he can even drive a walking tractor!

A quarter of an hour later, Rong Rui parked his walking tractor—no, it was an urban off-road tractor—in front of a small white building surrounded by flower gardens.

After pressing the horn twice, a familiar figure came out quickly and opened the fence door: "Officer Rong, Teacher Xiao, are you here?"

Wrapped in a thick wool shawl, Lu Jie let them into the yard with a smile: "Is the road going well? Is there still snow on the highway?"

"Hello Mr. Lu." Rong Rui nodded, "The snow has melted, and it's going well."

"That's good." Lu Jie said, "My dad said last night that you are coming today, and I was still wondering, is it because of my sister's case? Is there news about Yeager who made fake anti-aging injections?"

"Not yet, it's for another matter."

"Oh." Lu Jie said disappointedly, and opened the door, "Please come in, it's cold outside, go in and have a cup of tea first."

From the outside, this is just an old small second floor, like all peasant houses in the countryside, covered with white tiles that were popular in the last century, but when you walk inside, it is completely different, with warm American-style rural solid wood furniture and floral fabric sofas , the coffee table and the closet are full of fragrant lilies, and the fireplace is burning with real charcoal fire...

An old man with white beard and hair came down the stairs with a cane, his face haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Dad, Officer Rong and the others are here." Lu Jie said softly, "How are you doing? Is your headache better?"

Lu Zhizhong nodded, and said softly, "Officer Rong is here? Please sit down."

Lu Jie said to Rong Rui: "Since my mother passed away, my father has suffered from headaches, neurasthenia, and can't sleep well..."

"Xiao Jie." Lu Zhizhong interrupted her, "Go make some cups of tea."

Lu Jie went to the kitchen to make tea, Xiao Su looked around, only to find that there was a portrait of Lu Zhizhong's wife on the corner of the drawer, and in front of it were offering fruits and electronic incense, which obviously passed away not long ago.

"It happened years ago." Lu Zhizhong slowly sat on the sofa and said, "Their mother was not in good health. After Xiaobai left, she also fell ill. It was delayed until years ago..."

"Thank you for your condolences."

Lu Zhizhong waved his hand: "People who are 70 or [-] years old already knew that this day would come."

Lu Jie served a few cups of black tea, and Lu Zhizhong said to her: "Let's talk about things, you go upstairs and do your work, don't come down if you have nothing to do."

Lu Jie glanced at Rong Rui worriedly, then turned and went upstairs.

There was a "click" sound from upstairs, Lu Zhizhong took a breath and said, "Officer Rong, what do you want to ask me about the case 32 years ago?"

Rongrui took out his small laptop, connected it to a Bluetooth holographic projection, and displayed the relationship diagram of the characters in the Luo Cai case: "Lawyer Lu, I think you should already know that You Gang, who entrusted you to represent Shi Peng and Ma Qiang in the murder case, , Mr. You, was killed last fall."

Lu Zhizhong nodded: "I know, I happened to go to Jingchuan City to deal with Xiaobai's affairs those few days, and I heard that he was stabbed to death... Then it was his wife?"

"Yes, the murderer was his wife Zhang Chanjuan, but Zhang Chanjuan also died. The cause of death was the same as that of your second daughter Lu Bai, a heart attack caused by anti-aging injections." Rong Rui said, "In fact, You Gang also had a heart attack." He died of illness, Zhang Chanjuan did not kill him at the time."

Lu Zhizhong was a little surprised, his eyes flickered.

After a pause, Rong Rui continued: "In addition, two weeks ago, a vicious murder case occurred in the suburbs of Longzhou, and it has been basically confirmed that the deceased was the contractor who ordered Shi Peng and Ma Qiang to kill Luo Cai. , Wang Changyou."

Lu Zhizhong suddenly trembled, and said in surprise, "What did you say? Wang Changyou is dead?"

"On the tenth night of the first lunar month, he was lured into a vacant workshop in the suburbs of Longzhou, killed and dismembered." Rong Rui said flatly, "The murderer's method of committing the crime was extremely cruel, and he set up a very sophisticated trap in an attempt to marry him. The disaster is for Luo Cai's two sons, Luo Jianhong and Luo Jianxin."

Lu Zhizhong's face was pale, and obvious fear appeared on his ravine face: "Then, the two of them also..."

"They are safe for now."

Lu Zhizhong seemed relieved, picked up his teacup and sipped slowly, his freckled hands trembling slightly.

"Do you know about Ma Qiang's death?" Rong Rui asked again, "In 2012, someone cut his throat to death at home, and the murderer has not been found yet."

Lu Zhizhong froze for a while, then nodded numbly: "I know this, I was still working in a law firm at that time, and I have seen the relevant files."

"Okay." Rong Rui said, "Now, everyone involved in this case is dead, except you."

Lu Zhizhong shivered, hot tea splashed on his hands, and put down the cup with a "bang": "What do you mean?"

"No, I'm not doubting you. I just want to know if there were any hidden secrets in this case during the whole process of detection, prosecution, and trial?" Rong Rui asked, "Except for the deceased Luo Cai, this case Is there another victim in the case?"

Lu Zhizhong's face was extremely ugly, and he tried his best to maintain a weak calm: "No, it's impossible! Why do you have such doubts?"

"Because we suspect that someone is deliberately taking revenge and killing everyone related to this case one by one." Rong Rui said, "The reason why you are still alive is because the murderer has already killed your daughter Lu Bai. punishment. She, in fact, died for you."

Lu Zhizhong clutched his chest and collapsed on the single sofa, breathing heavily.Xiao Su was startled, afraid that he would not be able to catch his breath, but he slowed down after a while, and his lips moved slightly: "You, what did you say..."

"The cause of her death is the same as that of You Gang and Zhang Chanjuan, and it is likely to be the same murderer." Rong Rui slowed down his tone and said sincerely, "Uncle Lu, you are the only relevant person alive now. After 32 years, I hope you can tell the truth, help us catch the real culprit, and let your daughter rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

Lu Zhizhong leaned on the back of the sofa, and the turbid old tears rolled down the loose skin. After a long time, he shook his head as if making up his mind, and said, "No, there is no inside story. Officer Rong, this case was very clear at the time. Clearly, there are all witnesses and evidence. If I have to say that I have manipulated some gray areas, it is through reasonable financial compensation, to obtain the understanding of Luo Cai's family, and to cover Wang Changyou, who is suspected of instigating and instigating."

He wiped away his tears and calmed down completely: "If you have to find someone who is dissatisfied with this result, it may only be Luo Cai's family. Although they accepted financial compensation at the time, I heard that for the division of the inheritance, The two brothers, Luo Jianhong and Luo Jianxin, had a big fight and went to court—people’s hearts are unpredictable, maybe they will change their minds afterwards?"

Rong Rui kept observing his expression without saying a word.

Under his gaze, Lu Zhizhong looked a little embarrassed, picked up the teacup and took another two sips, and said, "You just said that the murderer tried to blame Wang Changyou's death on the two of them? Maybe it was not the blame, but they did it? Do you have any?" Have you investigated these two people? You Gang, Ma Qiang... and my daughter's death, could it be related to them?"

Rong Rui looked at him fixedly, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure there is no other inside story in this case? Do you really think that the Luo Brothers, two retirees in their 60s, are capable of such a serial murder case?"

Lu Zhizhong choked for breath, holding the teacup on his knees with both hands, still trembling uncontrollably.

Rong Rui immediately said: "Uncle Lu, do you think the murderer will stop here? After all, you are still alive...and you have more than one daughter!"

Lu Zhizhong's face suddenly changed, and he let go of the teacup, which almost fell to the ground.Rong Rui quickly caught it, put it back on the coffee table, wiped the water off his hands with a tissue, and said, "Uncle Lu, please think carefully, and think more about yourself and your family."

Silence, a long silence, the afternoon sun shone in through the lattice windows, and sprinkled on Lu Zhizhong's old wrinkled face.His eyes were cloudy and tired, with a faint glint of water, and his eyes were cloudy and uncertain, as if he was weighing some difficult issues.

However, in the end he still rejected Rong Rui: "I can't think of anything inside, I'm sorry Officer Rong... I'm a little tired, my head hurts, and I need to rest."

Leaning on crutches, he stood up slowly, with his eyelids downcast, hunched over and walked upstairs: "You guys please do your own thing."

At 01:30, Rong Rui and Xiao Su left Lu Zhizhong's house.

Lu Jie sent them outside the fence gate, and said apologetically, "My dad has been having a weird temper since Xiaobai passed away, and I can't do anything about him..."

"It's okay, it's understandable, we interrupted you." Rong Rui said kindly, "Mr. Lu hasn't confiscated the leave yet?"

Lu Jie smiled, and said, "I just received an offer from abroad, and I'm hesitating whether to change jobs. After all, my dad is the only one left at home, so I don't feel at ease... I might as well ask for leave and come back to accompany him for a few days, and think about it by the way."

"That's something to think about... Let's go, goodbye." Rong Rui got into the car, watched Lu Jie go back, and suddenly opened the car door to chase after her, and said something to her on the doorstep.

"Go home." He returned to the car, turned around and left Lu's house.

Finding nothing, Xiao Su was a little disappointed, looking at the sunny flower fields outside the car window, said: "He won't say anything."

"Yeah." Rong Rui couldn't see any joy or anger, and said indifferently, "But it is obvious that there is a major inside story in this case, and his expression feedback has already explained everything."

Xiao Su thought so too, Lu Zhizhong hardly hid his emotions, he was completely "I know but I can't say it".

"Then why is he willing to tell us?" Xiao Su said with a headache, "You have hinted clearly enough that the murderer is likely to continue revenge and kill him and his only daughter, yet he is completely unmoved."

Rong Rui said: "It's not that he is unmoved, how can anyone not be afraid of death?"

"But……"

"He will make moves." Rong Rui smiled slyly and said, "Don't underestimate the old fox who is 70 years old, a gold medal lawyer, why haven't you seen such a big storm?"

Xiao Su intuitively felt that there was something in his words, and asked him what was going on, but he didn't say anything, turned the car into a small farmhouse at the entrance of the town, and said: "You will know when the time comes... Let's eat first, I'm going to be hungry died!"

Xiao Su had no choice but to get off the car with him for dinner.

Farmhouse meals are surprisingly delicious, simple scrambled eggs, vinegared potato shreds, stewed pork ribs with kidney beans... Served with unique brown rice germinated rice, it tastes sweet and has an endless aftertaste.Even Xiao Su, who is always lackluster about food, unknowingly ate a whole bowl of rice.

In the evening, the two returned to Biyue Lake with a lot of perfume lilies, gardenias and tuberoses in their hands. Xiao Ran made a fuss and said, "Have you guys gone out to make up for Valentine's Day? Why did you buy so many flowers?"

"Isn't it Valentine's Day that you can't buy flowers? You must always have love for life and pay attention to sentimentality, understand?" Xiao Susai gave her a lot of perfume lilies, and didn't intend to tell her that he actually bought a bunch of them because they were cheap. .

"It can't be because of the discount, right?" Xiao Ran knew his brother better, "Why did you give me Lily? I'm just talking about it. I don't intend to engage in Ji, I still covet the delicious flesh of the opposite sex!"

Xiao Su exchanged a handful of gardenias for her, and stuffed lilies into Fang Huize who had just entered the door: "I'll see you off, you shouldn't mind having sex."

"Lily is a lesbian, you illiterate!" Fang Huize held the perfume Lily and sniffed it, "It's a big sale, you bought so much?"

Xiao Su found that his sleazy persona had already won the hearts of the people and could not be washed away, so he simply admitted: "Yes, it is very cheap with a half price discount." He picked up another bird of paradise for him, "Don't you have to date Vincent at night on weekends?" ? Take this, booming."

"Crazy, what are you giving on a date?" Fang Huize threw it back, "If you are sincere, shouldn't you give me a bouquet of roses?"

"Hahahaha, there are roses, the two of them must have kept them for themselves, how could they give them to you." Xiao Ran blurted out.

The smile on the corner of Fang Huize's mouth froze suddenly: "What?"

Xiao Ran realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, peeked at Xiao Su, and ran away with the gardenias in his arms before he lost his temper: "I'll go back to my room to arrange flowers, so I won't talk to you guys anymore!"

Fang Huize returned to normal in just a moment, watched Xiao Ran go upstairs, turned around and asked Xiao Su with a smile: "She won't tell the truth, can she? You kept all the roses for yourself?"

Xiao Su remembered that he reminded himself about the "teacher-student relationship", and said helplessly: "There is nothing, it's all here, and I don't like roses, lilies are so beautiful."

"Know what!" Fang Huize scratched his hair and left with the bird of paradise in his arms. "Go on a date, thank you for the flowers!"

It was rare to see him show affection so generously, Xiao Su was a little surprised, watching his back disappear outside the door, and then went to the kitchen with the remaining flowers to trim the vases.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, everything was done, and the house immediately wafted with a dark fragrance, which was fragrant and tangy.

Looking at the delicate flowers, Xiao Su's mood also improved, and he went upstairs briskly. When he opened the door, he found a bottle of champagne roses in full bloom on the desk.

No more, no less, a total of nine branches, the petals from pink-green to pale yellow have an indescribably innocent beauty, subtle and warm.

When did he buy it?Why didn't I find out?

Xiao Su was very surprised. He sat at the table and looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help smiling, as if something wonderful was blooming in his heart, revealing his secret beauty.
