The night wind blew by, unable to disperse the customers queuing up at the entrance of the restaurant.
It's already dark, but the Internet celebrity restaurant still has a lot of traffic, and many customers are still queuing at the door.
Under the sign's light, accompanied by the greeting of the waiter, a man and a woman slowly walked out of the door.
The man has a handsome face and always has a subtle smile on his face, making it easy for people to fall in love with him when they see him.
The woman was wearing a fresh long one-piece dress that extended to her ankles. The hem of the skirt swayed with her steps. Her long hair was gently tied up with a decoration, and she looked much more knowledgeable.
She wore light makeup on her face, and her earrings were hung with white crystal jade chains. Her innocent and charming face attracted the attention of others.
"I didn't expect your mother to buy the order before she left..." Xu Ran was a little embarrassed.
"Didn't I treat you to a treat today?" Su Xiaolu smiled gently.
Although it was Su Xiaolu's treat, seeing that Su's mother was also here, Xu Ran still wanted to buy the order himself out of subconscious habit. After all, he could accept Su Xiaolu's treat, but when Su's mother was there, he didn't want her to
It’s a treat.
During the meal, the three of them chatted happily.
Su's mother is as gentle as Su Xiaolu. If I really want to say the difference between the two, it is that Su's mother has a little purpose, and her expressions often show a hint of emotion.
Su Xiaolu, on the other hand, was simply immersed in the dinner and chatting, obviously not thinking much.
Halfway through the meal, Su's mother said that she had something to do and had to leave first, so she left the two of them behind.
Xu Ran was fine, but Su Xiaolu suddenly became a little nervous and didn't understand what was going on.
After the meal, the two of them left the restaurant. Xu Ran couldn't help but stretch as the evening breeze blew.
"I remember this place is not far from your home."
Su Xiaolu nodded cutely: "Then you want to go back now?"
"Let me take you back. After all, your mother invited me to dinner, so you still have to be a good protector on your way home." Xu Ran joked.
Su Xiaolu blushed and curled her lips: "Then let's go back for a walk."
Xu Ran answered, and then the two of them walked in the direction of Su Xiaolu's house.
On the way, Su Xiaolu didn't know what she was thinking. Sometimes she would secretly look at Xu Ran's side face, and then she would look at the street ahead, showing a contented smile.
Xu Ran didn't notice Su Xiaolu's abnormality, but he felt something strange inside.
It should be said that when he saw Zheng Xia leaving in the restaurant, he felt an unknown feeling in his heart.
I thought it was because the restaurant was too busy and there were too many people, and the restaurant was not big, which made me feel a little depressed.
Unexpectedly, when I went out to enjoy the evening breeze, this ominous feeling did not go away, but instead made me feel even more depressed.
However, he couldn't figure out where this unknown force came from.
Could it be that he is having trouble with his uncle? After all, it is not uncommon for men to have a few days in a month where they feel particularly strange.
"Speaking of which, how long will it take for the burglary case to be solved? My mother has been quite scared when she was at home recently."
Hearing Su Xiaolu's question, Xu Ran quickly came back to his senses.
"It's coming soon. After all, the case has been delayed for a long time and there is no result at this time. I'm afraid the leaders of Nanzhou City are under great pressure."
While the two were chatting, three policemen suddenly walked towards them. The three policemen were neatly armed and walked in an upright manner. The eyes under the brim of their police hats scanned the people around them carefully.
When Su Xiaolu saw it, she couldn't help but said: "When I saw the police on the street before, they didn't seem to have such an attitude."
Xu Ran frowned and glanced at the police equipment. Unexpectedly, he was surprised to see a gun holster from above.
"They are patrolling and searching, and they are equipped with firearms on their waists."
When Su Xiaolu heard this, she looked along her waist, and sure enough! She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow... what's going on? Why do you still have a gun?"
"Aren't you afraid that they will hear you if you are so loud?"
"Hmm!" Su Xiaolu covered her mouth with her cute hands, obviously startled by Xu Ran.
Seeing that Su Xiaolu looked like a frightened hamster, Xu Ran couldn't help laughing.
After being teased, Su Xiaolu reacted and couldn't help but pat Xu Ran's shoulder with her hand.
After the three police officers passed by on patrol, the two walked away again.
However, they didn't expect that just after crossing the street, the two of them saw a group of three patrolling police officers again.
The uncertainty in Xu Ran's heart became even stronger. It seemed that Zheng Xia's appearance in the restaurant tonight was not a coincidence, but that there was a mission in this area tonight.
Even to the point of equipping with firearms... What kind of tasks can reach the level of equipping with firearms?
Is this a home invasion and robbery mission? Could it be that the suspect has been identified in this area?
Su Xiaolu saw that Xu Ran was silent and seemed to be thinking. She also wore a gentle smile and did not interrupt his thoughts.
The two of them walked for a while, but unexpectedly after passing two streets, they saw a familiar figure on the street.
It was police officer Xiao Chen who was always by Zheng Xia's side.
Xiao Chen Zhengchu looked around on the street and saw Xu Ran and Su Xiaolu. He couldn't help but smile and wave hello.
When the three met, Xu Ran greeted with a smile: "We meet again, Officer Chen."
Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded in greeting: "Officer Chen."
Xiao Chen puffed up his chest. In fact, he was only a year or two older than Xu Ran and Su Xiaolu, so he could be considered the same age. However, he felt very comfortable being called that by the two of them.
"How does the restaurant over there taste? There are basically so many people there every day." Xiao Chen was still so enthusiastic, as if the three of them were like good friends.
"It tastes good. Officer Chen can try it next time if you have time."
"That's OK." Xiao Chen's eyes were moving back and forth between Xu Ran and Su Xiaolu, "Every time I see you walking together, aren't you a couple?"
When Su Xiaolu heard this, she immediately blushed and waved her hands hastily: "No!"
Xu Ran smiled but did not answer, and then asked: "Officer Chen, where is Sister Xia? Why don't you see her?" As he said that, he looked around and saw that Zheng Xia was not nearby.
"Oh, she's busy with something, I'll wait here for her to come back."
Xu Ran thought of something, smiled gently and asked tentatively: "Officer Chen, is the suspect in the burglary case in this area?"
Officer Chen was startled: "How do you know?"
Su Xiaolu was also startled.
"When Xiaolu and I arrived here from the restaurant, we met two or three groups of patrolling police. Everyone was fully armed. I even saw a gun holster on my waist. The inside of the holster didn't look like a toy." Xu
Ran explained, "There are so many police officers nearby. I can guess it with just my toes."
Su Xiaolu couldn't help but look down at her feet. When will her toes have their own thoughts?
Seeing that he had been deceived into giving the answer, Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh in embarrassment: "It's nothing, just a search."
"By the way, I'm a little curious. When you asked me in the restaurant before, you suddenly stopped midway through the question... What did you want to ask me at that time?" Xu Ran said quickly, "Of course, if it's hard to answer, forget it."
But what happened next made the three of them stunned.
When Xiao Chen took out the pager, the status light of the pager glowed green, and Zheng Xia's voice came.
"Xiao Chen's pager status light suddenly dimmed, and at the end, Zheng Xia's voice came from the pager in pain!
Xiao Chen was even more frightened and quickly pressed the pager: "Captain Zheng, where are you!"
However, after turning off the pager, there was no response from Zheng Xia. Xiao Chen was so frightened that he pressed the pager again: "Captain Zheng, did you receive it!...Captain Zheng!"
After turning off the pager, the status light of the pager did not come on for a long time, and Xiao Chen's face turned pale!
Something happened to Zheng Xia!
Seeing this, Xu Ran finally couldn't help but ask: "Officer Chen, where did Sister Xia... go?"
"We met Chen Zhe on the way. After talking with him, Team Zheng found out that Chen Zhe had some problems, so he went back to look for Chen Zhe and was about to confirm something with Chen Zhe again... Unexpectedly." Xiao Chen's face was full of pain, "We didn't even think about it at that time.
You take Chen Zhe too seriously! Otherwise, I should have gone with Team Zheng! Damn it!"
When Xu Ran and Su Xiaolu heard this, they both looked surprised.
"Anyway, thank you!" Xiao Chen's expression changed quickly, and he looked at Xu Ran with a serious expression. Then he waved and turned to leave, apparently preparing to find Zheng Xia.
Seeing this, Xu Ran couldn't help but said, "How about I look for it with you."
"Don't!" Xiao Chen looked back at Xu Ran and said seriously: "Captain Zheng said that this is a criminal case. If criminal cases require the public's help, then it would be our dereliction of duty... Can you tell Chen Zhe's news?"
Tell me, it will be a big help!"
After speaking, Xiao Chen trotted away without waiting for Xu Ran's reaction.
Xiao Chen's heart was beating wildly. When the pager finally turned on, Zheng Xia's painful screams were heard. He felt guilty in his heart. He felt that he was not firm enough. He had clearly promised other brothers that he would stick to Zheng Xia's side.
of.
However, I am still too lax...!
How could Zheng Xia be allowed to go find the Chen Zhe brothers alone?
He ran towards the street where Zheng Xia had left, taking out his pager and switching to all channels as he ran.
"All search teams, regardless of Team A or Team B, are heading towards the area that Team Zheng is responsible for!" Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, filled with self-blaming anger: "When preparing to arrive at the area that Team Zheng is responsible for, bring all the search teams to the area where Team Zheng is responsible.
Check all the streets and alleys for me!"
"Xiao Chen? What's wrong?"
"The gang of suspects has been confirmed! There are two brothers in the gang, Chen Zhe! Team Zheng is tracking them alone... Now Team Zheng may be in some trouble...!"
"What?! Xiao Chen, didn't we ask you to follow Captain Zheng!"
Xiao Chen ran, holding the pager tightly with his hand, and the veins on his hand were showing out. He gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry...it's my problem! Now everyone rush to the area where Captain Zheng and I are responsible, we must be fast! I
Now the pager can’t contact Captain Zheng!”
Hearing that the pager could no longer contact Zheng Xia, all the channels of the pager were making chaotic sounds. Without Zheng Xia's control, everyone became chaotic.
Listening to these words, Xiao Chen felt very sad and uncomfortable.
"Stop making noise! And stop occupying the channel!"
A mature male voice came. He was a highly qualified policeman in the security police and the captain of Team B for this mission.
"Don't worry about so much now, all move towards the area that Captain Zheng is responsible for. When you are ready to reach the area, go deep into every alley and street! Be sure to find Captain Zheng! There is no need to answer the channel now, just say something if you have something to say, and silence it if nothing happens.
Run for me!"
Then the pager went completely silent and no one spoke anymore...
Behind the silence of the pager, the security police who were conducting searches in the Pearl District were making a fuss, and everyone was rushing in the same direction.
...
Xu Ran and Su Xiaolu were standing on the street. He stared at the corner where Xiao Chen left, his thin lips pursed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Xiaolu looked worried, her pure eyes were fixed on Xu Ran, she actually already knew what Xu Ran wanted to do...
"Let's go."
However, what she didn't expect was that Xu Ran was about to turn around and leave. This was completely different from what Su Xiaolu expected, which surprised her.
"Ah? Where are we going?"
"Aren't we going to take you back for a walk?"
"oh..."
Seeing that Xu Ran had already taken the lead to leave, Su Xiaolu had no choice but to nod and follow silently.
The two of them walked down the street in silence. Su Xiaolu actually saw that Xu Ran wanted to help, but she didn't know why Xu Ran gave up this idea.
Of course, if you ask her whether she wants Xu Ran to help, her answer will definitely be no.
Thinking of the two big black blocks she met in Luo Shui's office, the pressure from their size made her feel that Xu Ran couldn't beat them at all.
What should I do if an accident happens while Xu Ran is there?
Although Zheng Xia will make the public think that she is a good police officer as soon as she comes into contact with her, but even so... As Xiao Chen said, this is a criminal case. Is it really okay for the public to intervene? And what should I do if Xu Ran is in danger?
Thinking of this, Su Xiaolu couldn't help but lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers.
The two of them were walking and passed by a milk tea shop. Xu Ran suddenly stopped and asked with a smile: "Want to drink milk tea?"
"Ah?" Su Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously followed Xu Ran's request: "Okay..."
"What to drink?"
"Anything is fine."
Then Xu Ran took Su Xiaolu's wrist to the milk tea shop, ordered two cups of milk tea at will, and the two of them sat on the sofa chairs in the milk tea shop.
Su Xiaolu held the milk tea and looked at Xu Ran uneasily, because she wanted to know. She could clearly see that Xu Ran wanted to help on his face, but why could he give up this idea?
Xu Ran looked at the innocent and lovely Su Xiaolu in front of her and smiled gently: "I'm going out to do some business. I'll come back later. You wait for me here."
"Huh?!" Su Xiaolu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in surprise: "Are you going to find Zheng Xia?"
Xu Ran hesitated and nodded: "I want to find her."
"Then...be careful."
I thought I had to explain myself, but I didn't expect that Su Xiaolu sat down obediently and agreed to me.
For some reason, Xu Ran felt warm in her heart, smiled and warned again, and then trotted away.
After Su Xiaolu watched Xu Ran leave, she couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
"It turns out that the reason why Xu Ran didn't dare to pursue her was myself."
Thinking about it, I cared too much about Xu Ran's thoughts, and instead forgot about my own existence.
How could Xu Ran trust herself when she had a 'criminal record'?
But yes, if Xu Ran really ran over to help just now, he would have followed him...
Not to mention just now, watching Xu Ran leave now, she wanted to follow him...
But she knew why Xu Ran brought her to the milk tea shop, just to let her stay well.
After all, it seems that I am going to be as unhelpful as the bar incident in the past...
But I really want to follow you...
Su Xiaolu's expression was a little uncomfortable, and she looked pitiful.
At this time, the clerk of the milk tea shop brought out a bouquet of flowers and placed it on the table with a smile: "Beauty, this is our store's event. Couples who come to the milk tea shop to drink milk tea will get a free flower."
Su Xiaolu, who was misunderstood as a couple again, was no longer as nervous as before, but she was still slightly shy. She nodded: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Looking at the flowers in front of the table, Su Xiaolu tilted her head slightly and thought of something.
"Pluck the petals and let the petals decide!"
Su Xiaolu pinched the petals and began to pull them off, her face full of seriousness.
