***
It was night, under the mottled moonlight, one or two cars hurried past on a cold street, and the wheels carried fallen leaves from the road to the river in the wind.
On the huge road, people who were already deep in sleep were dimly lit. Except for the bright lights of a hardware store that is turned on 24 hours a day.
A hand reached out from a silver stainless steel door, and the door that was about to be closed was slowly opened.
An indistinguishable male and female voice suddenly rang in the ears of the hardware store owner, "I'll give you 300 yuan to deliver a shovel, a pickaxe, and a flashlight to the Xianyang phone booth at 1:30 in the morning."
The old man who was so frightened that he woke up all night slammed the door, locked it, and climbed the stairs with a cane and no shoes.
"My wife bless me, my wife bless me, Lao Li, I haven't done anything bad in my life. My wife, please open your eyes under the Nine Springs. Please help my old bones to see the sun tomorrow." The hardware man, whose hands were shaking so badly, his calves Shivering, limping footsteps on the concrete stairs.
Saturday morning.
"Hey, who are you?" Ye Lan slowly stretched out a hand to touch the bedside counter, half-knocking his eyelids with sleepy eyes, and stretched out the back of his head with messy hair from the warm quilt.
"Xiaolan...your voice." The other end of the phone was obviously a little surprised, but he didn't directly say that he was still sleeping in. Instead, he gave the other party a choice, "If you are free then, please call me back. , let’s make an appointment at another time.”
Ye Lanxin flipped over the quilt, and one corner of the quilt hung down at the end of the bed. His whole body was instantly resurrected with blood, and he asked tentatively, "He Chengfu?"
"Uh-huh."
Ye Lan coughed twice and cleared his throat, adjusting his tone of voice to be as nice and sweet as possible, "That's not necessary. I'll be here right away. Give me ten minutes and we'll be there soon."
"Okay." He Chengfu chuckled twice, and his gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "Take your time, I'm always here and will wait for you, Xiaodu, don't be afraid."
Ye Lan tilted his left ear, put his mobile phone on his left shoulder, and clamped it between his neck. He got out of the bed, put on his slippers and walked towards the bathroom. He didn't pay much attention to He Chengfu's tone of voice, and hurriedly promised, "Ten Minutes. Give me ten minutes. One more second and I lose."
"No bet, you must be mentally burdened. I just have time, so you can take your time." He Chengfu said warmly.
"You pick me up?" Ye Lan brushed his teeth, looked at himself in the mirror, and asked, "Where will we meet?"
"Send me your location. I have a car and I'll pick you up."
Ye Lan frowned slightly, hesitated for two seconds, bent down and spat out the foam at his mouth, "Okay."
"Yeah, that's right, Xiaolan." He Chengfu sounded regretful, "Last time, I wanted to add each other's contact information. I thought it would be easier to communicate when we went out to play. I saw that you were in a hurry to go on a mission and didn't have time to add..."
"As far as I know, criminal investigation police officers are pressed for time, and it is difficult to get some private time for themselves. It is really rare to be able to take a vacation like this weekend."
Ye Lan put down his toothbrush and was about to wipe his face. He felt that what He Chengfu said made sense, "I'll add you on WeChat. What's your WeChat account?"
"**********" He Chengfu said a series of numbers and then slowly added, "I have the same phone number and WeChat number. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."
Ye Lan secretly wrote down He Chengfu's contact information and responded softly, "Yes."
In the most expensive and prosperous Guiming Building in Jinhai City, He Chengfu stood on the air-proof glass, with his back on his back, overlooking the entire Jinhai City.
"Young Master He, all plans have been implemented according to your arrangements." The man standing next to him was wearing a tuxedo. He spoke at the right time, bowed his waist, and showed respect and strictness. "Old man, I learned that you When he suddenly returned to China, his study was smashed five times."
"Well." He Chengfu, who was standing with the backlight, put away his mobile phone and approached the parrot hanging on the crystal cabinet bed. "Take a good look. No one is hurt. Let him hit whatever he wants. When he is tired, he will naturally Close hand."
"Okay, Mr. He." The man in a tuxedo lowered his head. Seeing that He Chengfu had no other arrangements and planned to go out,
Do you need me to prepare a car for you? "
He Chengfu lowered his eyes and glanced at the Patek Philippe watch in his hand. He paused slightly while feeding the parrot and said, "Self-driving car. If you are fine, just get off."
"Copy that, Mr. He." The man kowtowed respectfully, "Mr. He, you asked me to find you a niche brand car the day before yesterday. It has already arrived in the underground garage."
He Chengfu: "Take the local card?"
"Yes." The man said, "According to your previous instructions, I specially found a second-hand car for you. The car is in new condition, but has never been driven. There are no safety risks. The configuration inside can be adapted to your needs, Mr. He. Carry out refurbishing."
"Very good." He Chengfu was very satisfied with the man's arrangement. He also took two more snacks for the parrots and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Currently, my arrangements are all in the country. There is nothing important. You should stay out of my sight. If I notice that you are disobedient, I will ask for your help."
"Received Mr. He, I will inform you immediately." The man respectfully exited the door.
"Okay, let's satisfy your craving today. If you behave better in the future, I'll give you more when I come back." He Chengfu stroked the hair between the parrot's neck with his index finger, his eyes were calm and his tone was always gentle, "Do you know?"
The parrot enjoyed He Chengfu's touch and seemed to understand the meaning of his words. It flapped its wings and imitated human speech, "I know, I know."
"Be good." He Chengfu retracted his hand, raised his long legs and walked to the tea table carved from thousand-year-old sunken wood. He reached out and took out one of the neatly arranged wet tissues, and wiped the hand caressing the parrot back and forth. .
After wiping, he looked up and took out another wet tissue. After wiping, he looked up again. He frowned slightly and took out another wet tissue.
Rub until the entire hand joints are red, then stop.
On the other side, Ye Lan had already finished washing and picked out a set of white German velvet with half-high collar and long sleeves, paired with thick high-waisted black straight-leg pants with velvet, and a mid-length solid color jacket.
Ye Lan looked at herself in the mirror, wrapped tightly and warmly, with satisfaction.
Not to mention, the original owner is 1.72 meters tall, and with this casual combination, he has a warm and tall boy's visual sense.
The weather has been changing in the past two days, and a cold wave has swept through the entire Jinhai City from the north.
There are not many normal people who are either sneezing or catching a cold.
Before leaving the house, Ye Lan took out a cashmere matte plaid scarf from the wardrobe and stuffed it crosswise around his neck.
ten minutes later.
He Chengfu got out of a second-hand car worth more than 100,000 yuan.
He recognized Ye Lan waiting for him by the roadside at a glance.
He Chengfu hurriedly got out of the car and strode towards Shidu.
Ye Lan, however, turned around first and looked at the front of the car in confusion, not paying attention to He Chengfu's movements, "Is this your new car?"
He Chengfu, who wanted to give Ye Lan a hug, raised his hands and put them in his trouser pockets, and patiently explained, "The car last time was a friend's car, and this one is my scooter."
He Chengfu was wearing a black shirt, a black fur coat, and black pants.
He faced Ye Lan who looked back, his light brown eyes filled with warmth, "You look good today."
"I know." Ye Lan walked over and patted He Chengfu on the shoulder, nodding, "Brother, if you are cold, wear two more layers. Don't focus on style instead of warmth, your body will be overwhelmed."
He Chengfu lowered his eyes and spoke a little softly, "The weather has become sudden. I didn't expect this weather. I only have these two thicker clothes in my wardrobe. I think I can wear them for a day or two, and then I can wear them for a day or two." The weather cleared up in two days.”
"Let's go." Ye Lan hurriedly opened the driver's door, stretched out his warm hands from his pockets, pushed He Chengfu's lower back towards the passenger seat, and said disgustedly, "Stop just standing around, you sit in the passenger seat Go, everyone is frozen, and you are still making do here, while I sit inside and warm up."
The moment Ye Lan touched the fabric around his waist, He Chengfu couldn't help but tremble, but the air outside was already cold, so Ye Lan didn't notice anything unusual about him.
The warmth on his lower back was like a fire, spreading along the fabric to his skin, seeming to warm He Chengfu's body.
"I'm not talking about you. You are a dignified police chief who doesn't even have a few sets of decent thick clothes. If you are so casual, will the people under you obey you? You don't even know how to take care of yourself, and you still want to give others tasks? "Ye Lan purely regards He Chengfu as a friend, and feels worried about him in Jinhai City, which is so cold that it only snows.
"When you go out, the temperature is given by yourself. If you don't fulfill it yourself, how many people will care about you?"
"Didn't I mean to take me to Yujing New City? You can find a specific location and send it to me, and I'll follow the navigation."
He Chengfu nodded obediently and said warmly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After saying that, He Chengfu began to take out his mobile phone and send the location.
"He Chengfu." Ye Lan shouted.
He Chengfu put down his cell phone and looked out the window. He narrowed his narrow eyes where Ye Lan couldn't see. His pupils were beautiful and his voice was gentle, "Xiao Lan, how old are you this year?"
Ye Lan: "23."
He Chengfu: "I want to discuss something with you."
