As the saying goes, rivals in love are extremely jealous when they meet.

Yu Huo was somewhat resentful of going with Liu Tie. After all, Liu Tie had thoughts about Tang Ruoxi, which was an open secret, and it was true that Yu Huo had feelings for Tang Ruoxi.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Now with Yu Huo's special status, naturally he can't fall out with Liu Tie in public. It's not that he doesn't dare, but he doesn't want to.

After all, Liu Tie is currently investigating the whereabouts of his master Jingshui Tower, and as a police officer, it is naturally much more convenient for him to investigate an old case.

However, since Liu Tie is here and Yu Huo is using Song Fulai's skin now, there is no need to glare at him and treat him with a peaceful attitude. Moreover, he can take the opportunity to test Tang Ruoxi's attitude towards him.

As long as Tang Ruoxi truly loves her, as long as Tang Ruoxi's heart belongs to someone and her heart will never change, no matter who it is, they can't easily fall in love with each other and follow Liu Tie in the blink of an eye.

Yu Huo should trust Tang Ruoxi and have enough confidence in himself. Thinking of this, Yu Huo felt a lot better. On the yacht on the river, he played the role that Song Fulai should play.

Liu Tie took off his police uniform and appeared in front of everyone in a dog-like manner, with a row of white teeth exposed on his innocent face. He came to Tang Ruoxi and Lin Wanyin with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Lin Wanyin was a little nervous, thinking that this flower was given to her by Liu Tie. For Lin Wanyin, being surrounded and pursued by a high-quality man like Liu Tie was purely a matter of talent and beauty.

But Liu Tie's performance next made Lin Wanyin's shyness and joy disappear immediately. She could only watch with envy from the side as Liu Tie knelt down and confessed his love to Tang Ruoxi.

When Liu Tie knelt down like this, Tang Ruoxi was startled, and Yu Huo on the side was also startled.

Unexpectedly, this boy failed to send flowers last time. This time, he seems to have learned the lesson. Since he came out of the flower shop, he has never left his hands, but held them all the way to the yacht.

"Ruoxi, I am a rough man who cannot speak, and I am also a poor boy who earns several thousand yuan every month, but my heart and love for you can be seen from heaven and earth, and can be expressed by the sun and moon... Hey, What am I saying... In short, I love you... I hope you can give me a chance to accept me and let me protect you and take care of you from now on until eternity..."

Liu Tie finished speaking stammering, which attracted applause and moved tears from Lin Wanyin. Seeing Yu Huo on the side was indifferent, Lin Wanyin pushed Yu Huo, a little embarrassed, and then reluctantly raised his hands, feeling very uncomfortable. Applauded willingly.

Yu Huo seemed to be applauding, but he was cursing secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that this kid Liu Tie was so eloquent, and he didn't seem to be a person who couldn't speak.

Scolding goes without saying, but Liu Tie's pursuit of Tang Ruoxi is like a policeman catching a thief, and his perseverance makes people somewhat moved.

If Liu Tie's behavior just now was not to attack his beloved, Yu Huo would definitely be the first to stand up to support Liu Tie and bring this talented and beautiful couple into a good marriage.

But this time, Liu Tie made a mistake and actually fell in love with his own woman. How could Yu Huo give her up so generously, let alone arrange a match?

Liu Tie's blatant confession made Tang Ruoxi a little overwhelmed. It was so sudden that she was not prepared at all. She seemed to be touched by Liu Tie's actions for a moment.

But being touched is not love. Tang Ruoxi realized this clearly, and soon she knew that her heart belonged to someone. Since Yu Huo sacrificed for her, she had sealed her emotions and was ready not to unblock them for others. determination.

In Tang Ruoxi's opinion, Liu Tie is a good person and will be a reliable partner, but Tang Ruoxi asked herself, and the call from deep inside her heart made her know that she would never betray Yu Huo, nor would she hurt such a good person like Liu Tie.

"Captain Liu, you get up first."

Tang Ruoxi had already made a choice in her heart. She did not take the bouquet of flowers from Liu Tie's hand, which made Liu Tie somewhat disappointed.

But we are all adults, and we will not be unable to bear the blow or even get angry at others just because we were rejected once.

Liu Tie is a normal person and a policeman. Not only is he mentally healthy, he also knows how to behave appropriately and is even mentally prepared.

Therefore, Liu Tie was not surprised at all when Tang Ruoxi rejected him again like last time, because he had already investigated Tang Ruoxi's background and past before planning to pursue Tang Ruoxi.

He knew that Tang Ruoxi's ruthless rejection was not because he was not good enough, but because Tang Ruoxi had not gotten over the whirlpool and conflict caused by the emotional pain.

Moreover, Liu Tie knew very well that Yu Huo sacrificed his life because of Tang Ruoxi. This kind of emotional trauma could not be healed overnight. It took time and even more patience.

Seeing that his courtship failed, Liu Tie arranged the bouquet of flowers and stood up easily. This open-mindedness was indeed consistent with his status as a police officer.

Lin Wanyin on the side looked at Tang Ruoxi rejecting people thousands of miles away. She felt a little regretful. She took the bouquet of flowers and said: "Ruoxi, what a beautiful flower. It's a pity to lose it like this. You don't want it." If so, I’ll accept it.”

As a best friend, Tang Ruoxi couldn't hear the pronunciation of Lin Wanyin's words, which meant that Tang Ruoxi didn't know how to cherish a good man like Liu Tie, but after passing through this village, there was no such store.

Lin Wanyin's words made him indifferent to Tang Ruoxi, but they stimulated Liu Tie. He didn't have much interest in Lin Wanyin. He wanted to take back the bouquet of flowers, but he didn't expect that Lin Wanyin had no intention of returning it to him, and said playfully: " What? The dignified Captain Liu, there is no reason to take back the things you sent out. If this spreads, who will dare to live with Captain Liu in the future? "

"you……!"

Lin Wanyin was teasing her intentionally, but it made Liu Tie somewhat embarrassed. However, there was nothing he could do about Lin Wanyin, so he could only endure the aggrievedness in his heart.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Tang Ruoxi quickly said: "Wanyin, please stop teasing Captain Liu. By the way, Uncle Lai, we are fishing in the sea today. Have you set the hook?"

In order to resolve the awkward atmosphere, Tang Ruoxi cleverly shifted the topic to Yu Huo, who was already happy. Unexpectedly, Lin Wanyin's amazing assist made Liu Tie's confession bankrupt once again.

Liu Tie returned in defeat, but Yu Huo returned with a full load. This gap made Liu Tie feel depressed, but made Yu Huo feel excited.

"Everything is ready, Miss Second, just wait for the big fish to take the bait."

Seeing Liu Tie's disgraced face, Yu Huo was filled with joy, but he couldn't show it too much, so he could only raise his voice and share this joy with the sea.

The four of them were sitting on the yacht, talking and laughing, enjoying the leisurely breeze of the sea, feeling the pleasure and comfort brought by Jianghai, a coastal city, which made them temporarily forget the hustle and bustle of the city and the irritability of work. , finding a rare ray of peace deep in my heart.

It is said that the pace of the city is so fast that few people stop to appreciate the scenery on the roadside. But at this moment, this scene seems to have found the answer to slow down.

However, this slow rhythm was soon completely disrupted by the movement in the waves.

The turbulent movement made the yacht a little unable to slide. Yu Huo was the first to jump out, because the hook he used to go into the sea seemed to be dragged by a huge fish.

Everyone was expecting this big fish to take the bait. Yu Huo tried to retract the fishing line, but found that he couldn't pull it back at all. He was overjoyed and thought to himself that this must be a big fish, but when he thought about it, he had an uneasy premonition. , came upon me.

This uneasiness means ominousness.

Seeing that Yu Huo couldn't pull it away, Liu Tie was a soldier and naturally had a lot of strength. He pushed Yu Huo away, grabbed the fishing line, and pulled the heavy thing towards the yacht.

In terms of strength, Yu Huo had to admit that Liu Tie was obviously stronger than him, not just a little bit stronger, but much stronger.

Under Liu Tie's performance, the thing under the fishhook was getting closer and closer, making people more and more nervous.

Following Liu Tie's roar, what emerged from the water was not a big fish, but a coffin.

This frightened Tang Ruoxi and Lin Wanyin behind them, both of them backed away, their faces suddenly turned pale, and they screamed.

Seeing the coffin, Yu Huo felt something was wrong, and then realized why he had been uneasy just now.

"You guys stay back and I'll fish him out."

Before Liu Tie could finish his words, he jumped into the sea, and two minutes later, he was carrying the coffin on his shoulders and asked him to get it up.

Judging from the appearance of the coffin, it was an ordinary coffin. Perhaps because it was suspended underwater, the degree of decay of the coffin was not as bad as imagined.

The basic outline of the coffin was clear, and the coffin nails on it still firmly fixed the coffin board, preventing seawater from eroding the inside of the coffin.

What everyone is concerned about is, what is in this coffin?

Corpse or treasure?

Seeing Yu Huo taking the initiative to approach the coffin, Liu Tie's professional sense of smell told him that finding the coffin meant death and might even be involved in a murder case. As a police officer, it was his duty to protect the scene of the crime, and he must not let irrelevant persons approach easily.

"Uncle Lai, stay one meter away, the place is on alert."

Liu Tie casually took a wind rope from the yacht and took it as a cordon to the crime scene.

Even though Yu Huo wanted to take a look at what was inside the coffin, he saw that Liu Tie was not joking. Moreover, he had a gun on him. Yu Huo obviously did not dare to act rashly and could only find another opportunity.

After completing the on-site protection, Liu Tie made a phone call, presumably to ask the police forensic doctor to come over. After hanging up the phone, Liu Tie lit a cigarette, looked up at the sea level, and said: "This is already a river and a sea." It’s in the deep waters of the sea, it shouldn’t be.”

What Liu Tie said shouldn't be was exactly the question in Yu Huo's heart. This coffin did not sink to the bottom of the sea in this deep water area, nor did it drift away to other sea areas. Instead, it was suspended in a fixed place in this water area. Location.

The coffin hanging here does not look like it drifted here, but rather like someone did it on purpose.

But what is the purpose of hanging the coffin here?
