On October 30, 3020, in the grocery store No. 514, Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Huaan and said, "Huan, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Although the case has made progress, there is still no breakthrough. Maybe The information you have can help us solve the case."

"Okay, I hope it can help the case, and it's not in vain for us to get to know each other." Ling Huaan pondered for a while, and said, "In one of our conversations, Jiang Changping mentioned that he suspected that his son was not his own. of."

"What? Are you saying that Jiang Changping suspects that Jiang Xiaohan is not his biological son?" Jiang Chengyan was shocked for a moment, and then asked: "When did he tell you about this, and is there any basis?"

"Not long ago, as for the basis, I didn't ask much. After all, this is a very private matter, and I just listened to him."

Jiang Chengyan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Is that so."

Ling Huaan smiled and said, "Sorry for disappointing you. I told you these baseless things."

Jiang Chengyan shook his head quickly and said, "No, it's good that you can provide us with clues. Maybe it will be the key to solving the case."

"Well, it's good to help. The egg is ready, let's eat the noodles, it won't taste good after a while."

"Okay." Jiang Chengyan peeled the egg and put it in the noodle bucket, took it to the table by the glass window, nodded to Lu Hao with a smile, and ate the noodles quietly.

Lu Hao looked at Jiang Chengyan curiously and said, "Hello, I'm Lu Hao. I heard from my brother that you are the captain of the criminal investigation team, right?"

"Hello, I do work in the criminal investigation team." Jiang Chengyan paused and asked with a smile, "Is Hua An your brother?"

"Yeah. My brother said you helped him a lot, thank you so much."

Jiang Chengyan glanced at Ling Huaan and said with a smile, "No, I just did what I was supposed to do, no thanks."

"My brother is very strong. He never talks about any difficulties and never asks anyone to help him..."

Ling Huaan interrupted Lu Hao's words and said, "Lu Hao, are you finished? Hurry back when you're done."

"No. Brother, it's still early, just let me stay for a while." Lu Hao stuck his tongue out secretly after speaking.

"No, it's too late, I don't worry about you going back alone."

"I'm not alone. Isn't there Senior Sun Ming? When he gets off work, let's go back to school together. It's safer than going back by myself now."

Sun Ming quickly agreed: "Yes, boss, it will be safer for us to be together later."

Ling Huaan was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to go back late, but don't talk about some things, do you hear me?"

Lu Hao hurriedly responded: "I see, brother, I promise not to talk nonsense."

Jiang Chengyan stirred the noodles in the bucket and asked in a low voice, "Does your brother live alone?"

"Well, he moved out a long time ago and lived alone." Lu Hao said a little disappointed.

Jiang Chengyan asked tentatively, "Who is Brother Yanyu you said before?"

"Brother Yanyu is my brother's friend, a very good friend. Since the two met, Brother Yanyu will go to my brother's house to take care of him almost every day, taking care of him in every possible way, except for me, Brother Yanyu knows me best. Brother, as long as my brother makes a move, he can guess what my brother wants to do. I often think, it would be great if I could have a friend like this." Lu Hao paused, then said: "My brother is injured, definitely It's because Brother Yanyu is busy with things, so the past two days haven't passed."

Jiang Chengyan's taste became more and more interesting, remembering the tenderness Ling Huaan had when facing Yanyu last night, he only felt sour bubbling in his heart, the noodles in the bucket were stirred, but he didn't take a bite. He took a deep breath and said, "What about your brother, you must be very good to Yanyu, right?"

"Of course! Don't look at my brother who is usually cold and cold. In fact, his heart is the softest. If others treat him well, he will treat others well. Brother Yanyu is the person my brother trusts the most." Noticed Jiang Chengyan's mood changes.

Jiang Chengyan put down the noodles that he hadn't eaten at all, stood up and said, "Huan, I'll go back to the team after I finish eating."

Jiang Chengyan left in a hurry, leaving the three people in the store at a loss. Ling Huaan looked in Lu Hao's direction, turned out of the counter and walked over. Lu Hao quickly greeted Ling Huaan and said, "Brother, be careful, the stool is here."

Ling Huaan asked bluntly, "What did you tell him just now?"

Lu Hao blinked innocently and said, "I didn't say anything, I just thanked him for helping my brother, what's wrong?"

"What else?" Ling Huaan knew Jiang Chengyan's temperament, if that's the case, he couldn't leave in such a hurry.

Lu Hao thought for a while and said, "And he asked who Brother Yanyu is and what is his relationship with him? Then I said that Brother Yanyu is my best friend, and the two of you have a good relationship."

Ling Huaan raised his eyebrows and said, "That's all?"

"That's all, what's wrong?" Lu Hao was asked with a confused expression.

Ling Huaan's mouth curled into a smile and said, "It's okay. Are you finished eating?"

"It's over. Brother, did I say something wrong just now? He doesn't seem to be in a good mood." Lu Hao asked with hindsight.

"I just found out?" Ling Huaan rubbed Lu Hao's head, and said angrily, "He looks very clever on weekdays, but why is he stupid today? Say everything to the outside world. Are you familiar with him?"

"Brother, stop rubbing, my hair is messed up." Lu Hao said aggrievedly.

"Then keep your memory long, don't be stupid all day long, and be defenseless against anyone, understand?"

"He's not a policeman, and he's helped you, so I'm not prepared. Brother, I'm an adult, don't always treat me like a child."

"With me, you will always be a child. All right, pack up."

"Oh." Lu Hao got up to pack up his things and took them to the back for cleaning.

The bell rang and the door was pushed open. Yao Min walked in and greeted with a smile, "Brother Ling, I'll buy something to drink."

Ling Huaan nodded and said with a smile, "Whatever you want to drink, take it yourself."

The footsteps recalled that Yao Min walked to the shelf, took seven or eight bottles of water, and walked to the cashier.

While scanning the QR code, Sun Ming said with emotion, "Officer Yao, it's too hard for you to work overtime every day."

"What can be done about this, who made us choose this hard job in the first place."

"I only saw it in TV dramas before. I didn't believe it at the time about how hard the police are. But now I get close to it and finally understand the saying 'drama comes from life'."

Yao Min said amusingly, "Shouldn't you be working hard for the police? You are talking about the drama?"

"Forty-five yuan in total." Sun Ming paused, then continued, "I just wanted to say that Officer Yao has worked hard."

"In addition to the noodles that the captain ate before, how much is the total?" Yao Min took out his mobile phone and scanned the code.

Sun Ming looked at Ling Huaan in front of the glass window. Ling Huaan said indifferently, "Five pieces of noodles and two pieces of eggs. If you want to count them, let's count them all."

Sun Ming was stunned for a moment, obviously aware of Ling Huaan's displeasure, and said, "45 plus 7, a total of 52 yuan."

Yao Min paid the money, picked up something, and greeted, "Brother Ling, then I'll go first."

"it is good."

Yao Min pushed open the door and walked out, the bell sounded particularly loud in the quiet shop.

"Brother, I've washed the tableware and chopsticks, where are they?" Lu Hao broke the silence.

Ling Huaan didn't answer and asked, "What time is it now?"

Lu Hao glanced at the clock on the wall and replied, "It's just nine o'clock."

"Sun Ming, you get off class early today. Let's go back to school together."

"Boss, there's still an hour anyway, why don't you stay for a while."

"No, go back, it's too late, I'm not worried."

"Brother, I finally came here once, so please let me stay for a while."

"Be obedient, or you won't come again in the future."

Lu Hao said hesitantly, "Alright then."

Sun Ming put on his apron, put on his jacket, and said, "Boss, let's go first, see you tomorrow."

"Brother, then I'm leaving."

Ling Huaan nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, boss, I promise to send Lu Hao back to the dormitory safely."

"Ding bell bell", the bell rang, the store door was opened, a gust of cold wind blew in, the two left, and the store returned to silence again. Looking at the wandering spirits floating around outside the window, Ling Huaan suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. Originally, he was used to this kind of loneliness, but today he felt extremely disgusted.

Jiang Chengyan absentmindedly looked at the document in his hand, his eyes looking in the direction of the door from time to time. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Yao Min pushed the door and walked in with a bottle of water in his hand.

Without waiting for Yao Min to speak, Jiang Chengyan couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, has the money been given?"

"Here, five pieces of noodles and two pieces of eggs." Yao Min answered truthfully, placing the water on the table.

Jiang Chengyan asked nervously, "Then... what else did he say?"

"He? Who?" Yao Min looked at Jiang Chengyan and asked knowingly.

Jiang Chengyan said threateningly, "Yao Min!"

"It's here." Yao Min hurriedly confessed and said, "Big Brother Ling said, 'Since it's going to be counted, let's count it all', and he didn't say anything else."

Jiang Chengyan's heart twitched and he said, "What does he mean by saying this?"

"I just want to be clear with you, what else do you mean?" Yao Min pretended to be blind, unable to see Jiang Chengyan's ugly face at all.

"Liangqing? Is he trying to distance himself from me?" Jiang Chengyan couldn't tell the sadness in his heart.

Yao Min said helplessly, "Captain, you have to settle this with Brother Ling first."

Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and his heart was even more uncomfortable. After a long silence, he said, "Okay, I understand, you go out first."

Yao Min was speechless for a while, then said angrily, "That's it?"

"What?" Jiang Chengyan suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and looked at Yao Min.

Seeing Jiang Chengyan's dazed look, Yao Min simply hated that iron is not steel, and reminded: "Captain, Brother Ling is so good-looking, there must be many people who like him, if you continue to be so awkward, I am afraid that Brother Ling is someone else. yes."

Jiang Chengyan looked at Yao Min blankly and said, "What do you mean?"
