"Buddha...Buddha runners don't care about pace or mileage."
"Then can you please go a little faster? The two overtaking aunties next to me make me feel embarrassed."
"I...I'm mainly worried about the snails stepping on the ground."
"Oh~ Then you are not afraid of stepping on ants?"
rash:"……"
Under Lin Haitang's half-smiling gaze, he finally felt that no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't be able to save his own face.
Just by looking at the equipment they wear, you can tell the difference in rank between the two.
One is a standard set for entry-level players, and the other is a customized configuration for high-end players...
He simply gave up the struggle and walked slowly to calm his breathing.
I said go around in a circle, but I didn’t say you have to run around in a circle, right?
The reason why people live a tiring life is often because they can't let go of their arrogance and lose face...
"You continue, I ran two laps today, and the amount of exercise is almost enough."
Ha! Man.
Lin Haitang didn't know why, but he stopped running and started walking slowly.
The spring breeze blew slowly, and the morning sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, leaving behind swaying shadows on the ground and the overlapping silhouettes of the two people.
Meng Lang glanced at Lin Haitang's flawless profile, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
A man and a woman alone, why are we all taking a walk together?
"Are you free today?"
Come on, come on, this is indeed the line!
Could it be that this extremely serious suspenseful sci-fi and tragic drama is finally returning to the popular urban romance route?
Who says there's no spark?
False information! That is definitely false information!
"Yes!" Meng Lang answered very simply.
"I received a call from the police last night. Yuan Li said he wanted to see you."
"What?"
The little spark in Meng Lang's heart had not yet turned into a small flame, but it was extinguished by Lin Haitang's words.
It turned out that I was talking about serious business, and I had overthought it.
Being single is so sad...
"Yuan Li wants to see me? Why?"
"After this guy woke up, he refused to say anything when asked. He knew the entire criminal investigation process and interrogation routines very well, and it was difficult for the police to pry his mouth open.
He said he would only speak after seeing you."
"The evidence is all there. Will it affect the outcome of the trial if he doesn't open his mouth?" Meng Lang asked doubtfully.
"The determining factors in court trials are very complex. For criminal cases with clear criminal facts and sufficient direct evidence, whether the criminal suspect pleads guilty or not will not affect the judgment.
Even if you refuse to plead guilty, the circumstances will be more serious.
But the problem is that in this case, except for Yuan Li's burglary, illegal possession of firearms, and intent to commit murder, the rest of the charges were inferred based on the existing evidence.
In this case, whether the criminal suspect admits his criminal intent will undoubtedly affect the final judgment."
Yes! Another attempted crime is the fault.
Lin Haitang saw that Meng Lang was deep in thought and silent, thinking that he was unwilling to continue to contact a murderer like Yuan Li, so he spoke.
"If you don't want to see this person, you don't have to pay attention to him. Whether he opens his mouth or not is not actually that important, and even if you go, he may not really open his mouth."
"No! I promised to see him."
Meng Lang shook his head.
Why did Yuan Li want to see him? Meng Lang could probably guess it.
There are so many sidekicks in TV dramas who are stabbed in the back or shot. What was his reaction before death?
It’s time to turn your head!
Wanting to know how he died is probably the obsession of every dying person, right?
The perfect plan was ruined by an unknown person in a confused way.
Who else can be free from depression and madness?
If he doesn't figure out how he failed, Yuan Li might even be in jail.
"Just in time, I also want to ask him something."
…
Municipal Public Security Bureau, interrogation room.
"Yuan Li, why did you sneak into Mr. Meng's house and steal these worthless things that contain personal identity? Please tell me honestly!"
"What is your purpose of illegally breaking into a private residence?"
"Where did you get your firearms? Do you have any accomplices?"
"Yuan Li! The evidence of your crime is conclusive. Even if you don't speak out, the court will have enough reasons to sentence you harshly. Don't take any chances."
"For the sake of your former colleagues, we would like to advise you to take the initiative to confess frankly and seek leniency. This is your only way out now!"
There was a trace of ridicule in Yuan Li's eyes.
"Okay, Captain Wang, don't waste your breath. We are all eating from the same pot. In terms of seniority, you have to call me senior!"
These methods of yours are all leftover from my play!
I know what should be said and what should not be said!
Again, if I don’t see that kid, I won’t say anything. If you have any questions, please consult my lawyer directly.”
"you……"
"Crack!"
The door was opened, and Qin Xiaoru led two people in.
"Team Wang, Mr. Meng and Miss Lin are here."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Meng, but I have to trouble you to make a trip." Wang Zhaoping shook Meng Lang's hand awkwardly.
"Team Wang's words are serious. Cooperating with the police investigation is the obligation of every law-abiding citizen."
Meng Lang said politely, and then looked at Yuan Li, who was handcuffed on the interrogation chair...
This man took his own "three bloods".
Although "we have known each other for a long time," this was the first time Meng Lang saw Yuan Li's face.
The broad forehead, hooked nose, and somewhat vulture-like face fit perfectly into the villain's setting.
"I heard you want to see me?"
Yuan Li also looked Meng Lang up and down.
It was this seemingly ordinary young man who ruined his carefully planned plan and put himself in danger!
"You're very good. I, Yuan Li, think I'm very clever, but I didn't expect that while hunting geese all day long, a sparrow pecked me blind!"
There was a hint of resentment in his tone, and his eyes were even more fierce.
"You think of me as a sparrow, that only means that you were not blinded by my peck, you are blind to begin with!"
Meng Lang, on the other hand, smiled contemptuously without showing any signs of weakness.
"Okay! You have the courage! I will remember you!" Yuan Li gritted his teeth and said, his eyes becoming more fierce.
This sentence is full of threats and intimidation.
"Yuan Li! Be more honest!" Wang Zhaoping shouted.
Meng Lang sneered and took two steps forward in front of everyone's astonished gazes.
He put his hands on the table and leaned over slightly.
"Then you have to remember, my name is Meng Lang, Meng Haoran's Meng, the wave that cuts through the waves!
Remember this face clearly, and you will save yourself the trouble of not recognizing your old friend decades later!"
Seeing Meng Lang's fearless expression, several police officers, including Wang Zhaoping, all showed surprise and admiration.
This is Yuan Li, who had a reputation for being fierce when dealing with thugs back then. Now he has completely degenerated and acted even more unscrupulously.
Facing such a murderer, Meng Lang, an ordinary person, had no fear and instead spoke provocatively.
What gives you the courage?
Meng Haoran's awe-inspiring aura?
Lin Haitang looked at Meng Lang strangely, but she quickly hid it.
…
Facing a murderer like Yuan Li who kills without blinking an eye, if Meng Lang dares to be so arrogant, he certainly has the ability to be arrogant.
In the latest issue of "Fortress Besieged", Xiao Yu, Lin Haitang, and Yan Weiwei all made friendly appearances. Although because of their wandering to Wushi, the appearance rate was not high, and it was more like an off-site family and friends group.
But this at least proves that they are all safe.
This shows that Yuan Li should be staying in prison honestly, and Xu Jinsong, for some reason, did not continue to attack them.
At least...not in the next two years.
As for two years later...
Then you can't tell who is causing trouble for whom...
If I can send you in once, I can send you in again!
Want to take revenge? 365 "Meng Lang" are waiting for you every year, and I ask you if you are afraid?
"Okay! Very good! It seems that my loss is not so unfair."
Yuan Li didn't expect that the other party would dare to provoke him, so his expression calmed down.
It was like a poisonous snake had put away its fangs, but the cold light in its eyes only increased.
"Can I talk to you alone?"
"What do you want to do?" Wang Zhaoping immediately became alert.
"What a coincidence, I just want to talk to you alone." Meng Lang smiled and then looked at Wang Zhaoping.
"Captain Wang, please... tie it up tight."
Everyone: "..."
To say such cowardly words in such a calm tone...
…
Everyone went out, leaving only two people facing each other in the interrogation room.
"I want to know, are those pinhole cameras a coincidence, or a trap you deliberately set?" Yuan Li asked.
Ever since he knew where his flaws were, Yuan Li has been worried about this issue.
No! It’s like a lump in the throat!
If he didn't understand it, he was afraid that he would really die with his eyes open.
"Before answering your question, I also have a question to ask you."
"what is the problem."
"When did you start trying to make me a scapegoat?
If I didn't show up, how were you going to deal with Xiaoyu?"
Yuan Li sneered, "What a scapegoat, what to deal with Xiao Yu? I can't understand what you are saying."
"Well, of course you know that our conversation is being recorded, and I can understand that you are afraid of tricking me into confessing.
However, whether you believe it or not, eliciting a confession is not my purpose, I just simply want to know the answer."
He really just wants to know...
If his destiny had not been changed by himself, the world line would not have changed into "Mein Kampf", but would still have stayed in the first episode of "The Miserable Life".
In that world, I didn't meet Xiao Yu, but still got married to Lu Kexin. So... what will be Xiao Yu's future fate?
Will he still live a hard but colorful life with his sister, or will he still be unable to escape his bad luck in the end?
Did everything he did now save Xiao Yu, or did he harm her first and then save her?
Although this question seems to have little practical significance to consequentialists.
But it has certain reference value for Meng Lang to explore the world line.
This is also the main reason why he is willing to meet Yuan Li.
"Is this issue important to you?"
Looking at Meng Lang's serious face, Yuan Li frowned.
"Well... you can think of me as exploring a very profound philosophy of life, about the dialectical relationship between man and the universe."
"Ha! Childish."
Well, it seems that Yuan Li is not satisfied with this high-quality answer.
"It seems we can't communicate through ordinary methods." Meng Lang spread his hands helplessly.
Immediately, a "evil" smile appeared on his face that he had practiced in front of the mirror for a long time before coming here.
"Now, look me in the eyes!
I will say a code word next. After you hear this code word, you must answer any of my questions accurately, otherwise... you will be responsible for the consequences."
Yuan Li was stunned. He looked at Meng Lang as if he was crazy.
However, the next moment, when he saw the two words that Meng Lang silently "said" with his mouth, Yuan Li felt as if he was struck by lightning and trembled all over.
His eyes suddenly widened.
There is no longer any arrogance on the face, but only deep fear...
