...

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.
