Li Yuan did not enter the door, but left after delivering the things.

After he left, Shen Ke sat back on the sofa and continued to read her thick book.

The once empty living room was now filled with things, including colorful fruit and food boxes sent by uncle Lu Yi, as well as two large baskets that were so eye-catching that people could not ignore them.

Shen Ke looked away. Those things were too far away. Under her nose, there were freshly boiled salted peanuts in a white transparent plastic bag.

She put the book aside and opened the plastic bag for the first time.

As soon as she opened it, the smell of fresh peanuts hit her nostrils. Shen Ke picked up one of the peanuts and squeezed it gently. The salt water flowed out. She hurriedly took a mouthful and stuffed the peanut kernels that were not full. into the mouth.

The salty water gives the peanuts more flavor. After being pressed in the pressure cooker, the peanuts are no longer hard and become soft and waxy.

Shen Ke kept eating, and when he came to his senses, the trash can was already covered with a layer of peanut shells.

She put away the salted peanuts, went to the kitchen to wash her hands, and sat there quietly for a while.

She remembered that when she was a child, her grandma also liked to eat these things.

For example, the cantaloupes and sweet potatoes newly picked by old farmers in the countryside, the varieties of oranges grown in orchards that are generally more sour than sweet, and the fresh peanuts picked in the new season are boiled in salt water in the same way when they are bought.

During the Chinese New Year, wild vegetables will also be harvested, such as Artemisia truncatula, which is loved by many people in Nanjiang.

This vivid memory suddenly opened the floodgates and poured out.

After a while, Shen Ke recovered his thoughts and continued reading.

…

After the heavy rain, Nanjiang City is particularly refreshing, as if everything has been washed away by the rain, and both good and evil are exposed in front of people without any obstruction.

Zhou Juncheng was all wet. He walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, looking back from time to time.

He wiped the phone on his lapel and kept pressing it.

But the screen of the mobile phone has already gone dark, and I can't turn it on. The protective film on the screen has cracked, and if I'm not careful, my fingers will be cut.

He became more and more anxious. It was so dark all around that he could hardly see his fingers.

Zhou Juncheng patted his cell phone. After taking three pictures, his steps suddenly froze and he ran forward in a panic.

This place is located in a remote place, the sewer system has not been improved, and there is stagnant water everywhere.

The water was so dim that it was hard to see the depth. Zhou Juncheng was running very fast, but suddenly his foot slipped and he fell to the ground.

He subconsciously raised his hand to prevent his phone from falling into the smelly ditch.

He was wearing a pair of sports shorts in the summer, and when he fell, his knees were instantly torn and one of his shoes fell off. Zhou Juncheng couldn't care less, so he ran away, pressing the power button on his phone constantly.

Finally, the phone screen lit up.

Zhou Juncheng was ecstatic, and just as he was about to press 110, he heard a delicate female voice coming from behind him, "Juncheng, didn't you say you came out to use the bathroom? How did you get here? Are you lost?"

Hearing this voice, Zhou Juncheng's hands couldn't help but tremble. His hands were trembling. His cell phone fell to the ground with a bang and sank into the yellow muddy water. The alarm call was not dialed.

He didn't dare to look back and stood stiffly on the spot, beads of sweat falling from his forehead one by one.

"Come back with me quickly, they are all waiting for you! Didn't we agree that we want to play games together? You shouldn't be afraid, right?"

When Zhou Juncheng heard the word "fear", he turned around suddenly, but his legs gave out and he collapsed into the water.

In front of him, not far away, stood a girl wearing a white cotton dress. Her clothes were wet. Normally, Zhou Juncheng would have thought about it.

But now he just wanted to scream. The white dress was stained red with blood, and the girl's face was also covered in blood, making her look particularly ferocious.

The girl suddenly giggled, "Are you really scared? This is not possible!"

Zhou Juncheng's scream pierced the night sky...

…

Because she had to carry baskets to the city bureau, Shen Ke did not ride a motorcycle today, but still drove the white off-road vehicle that picked up Li Yuan yesterday.

Li Yuan happily got into the passenger seat and waved the breakfast in his hand in front of Shen Ke.

"I make my own black soy milk and steamed dumplings at home. Such a down-to-earth breakfast goes well with the basket. Why don't you soon say that I am your second uncle from the country? Do you believe it, Captain Chen?"

Shen Ke drove the car and said, "You still need a straw hat. My second uncle is too young and looks fake at first glance. You must be the uncle Li in the village no matter what. The big yellow dog in the west of the village will call you grandpa grandpa when they see you."

"Well, the mother of the big yellow dog in the east of the village gave birth to seven dogs, and they all called me grandpa and grandpa! The big dog is very powerful, and the two dogs are clairvoyant..." Li Yuan said, and did not wait for Shen Ke to criticize him, but he said it himself.

"Good guy, you are showing your age. People who have watched this cartoon will not be able to do it if they are called grandpa!"

Shen Ke shook his head, "The average IQ of everyone in our group is negative. Excluding you, the average IQ per person is 130."

"You can't do this! If you want to curse someone like me, you have to be direct, otherwise I won't understand. What should I do? You have to say that you are stupid and lower the IQ level in the office."

He said, laughed, and the car quickly stopped at the door of the city bureau.

Li Yuan was not afraid of other people's strange looks, so he directly unloaded the basket and jumped to the second floor with a pole.

Shen Ke followed him, looking straight and walking with a swagger, "Should I lead a horse?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Haha, did you watch it when you were a kid? You carry the burden and I lead the horse? Shen Ke, you can tell jokes now! How funny!"

The two walked into the office and saw Chen Mo eating pickled cabbage buns.

There is no meat in the sauerkraut buns in the cafeteria. They are basically just some meat residue that has been soaked in oil. It is okay to eat a little, but it will make your stomach uncomfortable if you eat too much, so few people eat breakfast there.

"I came just in time, and I can't take a vacation. There is a case. On Yulin Road in Chengbei District, someone was driving in the morning and found a body. The deceased's name was Zhou Juncheng, and he was an algorithm engineer for an Internet company."

"Colleagues in the jurisdiction found his ID card and his mobile phone on his body, but the mobile phone had been soaked in water. According to colleagues at the scene, Zhou Juncheng's death was tragic, so everyone should be mentally prepared."

As Chen Mo said, he noticed that Li Yuan came in carrying a load, "Where can I get so many juicy watermelons? You guys, our office will become a supermarket."
