Tan Bo hadn't left yet, when he saw Xie Lanshan approaching the door, his eyes widened, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were stretched out by the upper and lower eyelids, obviously a little frightened.

Xie Lanshan pretended not to see the panic in the old man's eyes, walked up to him with a smile, and greeted people, "Tan Bo!"

He smelled a smell, which he was used to before, so he didn't pay attention. Tan Bo's evening market sells Chuanchuanxiang and Malaxiang hotpot. He has lived on this skill for most of his life, so even though his things have been cleaned up, the room is still filled with the smell of cinnamon or peppercorns, which may have been attached to him long ago. It can't be washed off the body.

Like spicy hot pot.

Everything in the house has been cleaned, nothing is left in the cupboard or on the table, as if it is going to travel far away, and it will never return.

The old man has lived in this rental house for many years, and the owner is familiar with the old man. The house itself is one cubicle, damp and dilapidated, and it can't be rented at a good price, so it has been rented by Tan Bo. Tan Bo is a rare and good tenant. He doesn't bargain, owe rent, or complains. Sometimes he sees leaks in the pipes and peeling of the walls in the house, so he pays for it and repairs it.

Xie Lanshan's eyes fell on the wall, and there were some newspaper clippings on it. Wherever there was an earthquake, a flood, or a child who was going to drop out of school, he would donate a sum of money.

Life is as small as a mayfly, but this mayfly has always been alive, suffering, and poor. He usually eats bran porridge and steamed buns. If he licks the salt, he adds vegetables to himself. It seems that he is happy to treat himself badly all his life, but he never Willing to offend others.

Xie Lanshan silently looked around the old man's house, then put on a smile and said that he wanted to practice for the old man.

"Actually, it's not all about me. It's the friend who came with me last time. He never forgets your craftsmanship, so he must try it again."

Tao Longyue nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I will practice it for Tan Bo too."

"Don't come here. Don't you have an appointment with Forensic Doctor Su tonight?"

"No... Is there any?"

"Yes, idiot." Xie Lanshan put his arms around Tao Longyue's shoulders, smiled at him, and rolled his eyes, very kind and exaggerated, "She told me first, and she will come to invite you in a while."

Tao Longyue was confused and didn't understand what medicine Xie Lanshan was selling in the gourd, but seeing that his eyes were firm and confident, he nodded according to his meaning: "Yes, it's an appointment with me, an appointment..."

Tan Bo looked at Xie Lanshan with dark eyes. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay."

The investigation was temporarily over, Xie Lanshan and Tao Longyue went back to the city bureau first, and then went back alone to pick up the car.

He hadn't driven a car since he was suspended for investigation, but Tao Longyue's nonsense reminded him today. Xie Lanshan thought of Shen Liufei, and soon thought of Shen Liufei's stroking hand, a man's hand, with beautiful joints and lines. The skin is also soft and smooth, and there are traces of refreshing fragrance.

Xie Lanshan felt chilled by his thoughts at this moment, and after thinking about it, he decided to follow Tao Longyue's teaching and drive to find Shen Liufei.

When you get there, go straight upstairs.

It wasn't the first time Xie Lanshan visited Shen Liufei's bedroom, but the last time he was shocked because of his portrait, he didn't have time to appreciate it. In the end, he is an artist, with good taste. The decoration style can be regarded as Chinese style, but it is more simple and elegant than traditional Chinese style, with more solid colors and less variegated colors. In some places, the Zen-like design is ingenious, which makes the space more spacious.

The bed is also spacious.

Xie Lanshan leaned on the bed, while Shen Liufei painted by the window.

Xie Lanshan kept looking at Shen Liufei. The space is open, and behind him is the sunset that falls from the sky, apricot blossoms, astragalus, red, hibiscus, and purple, all of which are actually the color of flowers. A few touches of sunlight of this hue passed through the window, slanting on the floor, and as the sun continued to move westward, it wanted to climb to the foot of the bed.

The atmosphere was simply great, and Shen Liufei was concentrated.

"You haven't joined yet?" Xie Lanshan asked suddenly.

"No, soon."

"Can't you start early?"

"It's not time to start the job yet," Shen Liufei seemed to be very principled and unmoved. "Everything will be discussed after my public welfare course is over."

"Can you paint a portrait first?" Xie Lanshan tried to bargain with others.

"Draw you?" Shen Liufei raised his eyes with a slightly interested expression on his face, "I can consider it."

"Aren't you drawing already?"

"It's not enough." Shen Liufei raised his eyes from the canvas and looked at him intently, "You said, this is not your prettiest appearance."

The moment his eyes met, Xie Lanshan began to undress without saying a word. He quickly unbuttoned his shirt, and soon revealed beautiful creamy muscles.

Taking off his shirt and about to take off his pants, Shen Liufei watched calmly, but Xie Lanshan suddenly stopped his movements.

"What's wrong?" Shen Liufei asked lightly, "Afraid?"

Xie Lanshan smiled. He lay down on his back, turned sideways again, resting his elbows on Shen Liufei's pillow, supporting himself and looking at each other.

"I am a great gift," his fingers hooked his trousers waist and pulled down until a clear and powerful mermaid line was revealed, Xie Lanshan narrowed his eyes lazily, and raised the corners of his mouth fancyly, "Shouldn't this packaging be made by Did the person who received the gift take it apart by himself?"

Xie Lanshan's eyes are very clear, very provocative, and his face is eye-catching and gorgeous. He seriously invites you to paint for him, and you must not think of any reason to refuse.

Shen Liufei decided to accept the invitation, got up from the easel, and walked towards the other side slowly. He came back against the light, his face was too slow and calm, and he couldn't guess whether his heart was turbulent at the moment.

Shen Liufei lowered his head, stretched out his hand to lift Xie Lanshan's chin, and when his eyes met, the man whom he was watching suddenly turned his back on the guest and pressed him towards him.

The two fought hand-to-hand. You went up and down and competed for a while. Xie Lanshan took the shot before Shen Liufei. After a short battle, he controlled the person under him.

During the competition, Shen Liufei had already opened his clothes, and he calmly watched Xie Lanshan, as if he had no intention of taking back the initiative.

Tao Longyue's remarks aroused his curiosity, Xie Lanshan tempted people to come over and wanted to see his injury.

Through the colorful flower embroidery, Xie Lanshan stretched out his hand and touched the left side of Shen Liufei's chest with a flaw detection gesture. A nearly ten-centimeter-long scar was skillfully concealed behind the pattern - it was originally so shocking.

Xie Lanshan is born with a low body temperature. If he touches other people's body, most of them want to make the person who is in contact feel too cold. But he didn't expect that Shen Liufei's body temperature was lower, and his skin was as white as ice and cold as ice, so that his fingers were like a rock flow, and the skin instantly flushed red and his muscles tightened.

Xie Lanshan caressed Shen Liufei's scar lightly, and said with a smile, "I never asked you, how did your injury come from?"

Shen Liufei replied calmly, having had a car accident and had a fight.

Understatement seven words. Xie Lanshan exclaimed "No wonder" in his heart, and almost didn't blurt out another "deserved". This guy drives really wildly.

"These wounds have neat wounds, but the injuries are in different directions, and the curvature and depth of different wounds are also significantly different. It can be seen that there were no less than five people who cut you at that time, and the knife that cut you was a machete of no less than 40 cm. ."

Then his fingers turned around and touched the strong arm muscles again, sliding to another horrible scar on the ribs on the back. "This knife ruptured about 10cm, causing the deep fascia to rupture and injuring the muscles..."

Xie Lanshan's words were very positive, and the judgment of each wound was accurate. The slender index finger of the knuckles swiped lightly, and dexterously slipped on the other side, he suddenly chuckled: "This scar should be left by the thoracotomy operation. There are traces, the left incision is 16cm, and the lung is ruptured and sutured…”

Shen Liufei looked calm from beginning to end, as if these injured experiences were insignificant to him, and he was not afraid of being mentioned.

"And this place..." Xie Lanshan's hand finally moved to a scar on Shen Liufei's neck, like stroking the trunk of a tree, his fingers slid down through the neck, collarbone, and chest, trying to touch the vertical scars all over him.

Shen Liufei pushed up his knees at the right time and attacked Xie Lanshan's lower abdomen. The two rolled up and down on the bed again, and the space rotated - he regained the active position.

The two men stared at each other breathlessly, fighting. Shen Liufei's cold white skin turned red, originally a hideous and ugly scar, but after Xie Lanshan's touch, it came to life, as if the flowers in the south were half-blooming and half-opening when the grass grew.

Returning to the topic soon, Shen Liufei suppressed Xie Lanshan and asked, what are you doing here

"After the video surveillance was restored, we all believed that the murderer killed the Cong Ying family after 12 o'clock. In fact, the direction of the investigation was misled by the murderer. It is assumed that the murderer was already lurking in the Cong family before Zhang Yuchun arrived..." With a joking look, his eyes were serious, "I have a guess."

"It's a coincidence, I have it too." The conjecture was just conjecture, how the murderer escaped the surveillance video and sneaked in, and neither of them had a clue. Shen Liufei calmly reminded Xie Lanshan, "But I also heard that the province attaches great importance to this case of killing the family, and your director hopes to close the case as soon as possible."

Xie Lanshan was dissatisfied: "It's him again."

Shen Liufei nodded: "So he will not support your unsubstantiated conjecture. Zhang Yuchun's unilateral confession is not credible in the face of all kinds of iron evidence, and he is still the biggest suspect."

Xie Lanshan agreed: "If there are witnesses who can prove that he was indeed thrown into the river that day, it is possible to reverse the current unfavorable situation against him."

"Have you found the witness?" He let go of Xie Lanshan, Shen Liufei got up and put on his clothes, his expression was calm, as if he already had an answer to this question.

"Intellectually, I seem to have found Zhang Yuchun's witnesses, but... Emotionally, I'm not very willing to believe it." Xie Lanshan also got up and put on his clothes. He took out his mobile phone to check the time, and smiled at Shen Liufei, "I want to ask You paint a portrait, but before that I want to ask you to act with me in a play."

When it was almost time to make an appointment for dinner and practice, Xie Lanshan came by car and offered to take Shen Liufei to go with him.

A domestic off-road vehicle, army green, square-headed, strong Zhou Zheng. It's been a few years, and the engine and components have aged so badly that it rumbles like a cannonball as soon as it hits the road. He had been wanting to change his car, but the Hummer was too expensive.

The first time Shen Liufei saw Xie Lanshan driving by himself, he curled his lips slightly, and said in a playful tone, "Is this an antique left to you by your grandfather?"

"Brother, I'm a public security officer with low salary and high pressure, so it's normal that I can't afford a luxury car." Seeing that Shen Liufei thought his car was too old and too old, Xie Lanshan disagreed and chuckled, "This car is the love of my life, you To spoil it any more, I'll have to ask you to sit in the trunk—"

A word awakened the dreamer, and they both widened their eyes at the same time, and immediately glanced at each other. The brows furrowed first, then stretched, and finally came to a realization.

The murderer hid in Li Rui's trunk and entered the house directly, avoiding surveillance.
