Chapter 1: Unexpected disaster

It’s still cold in Yuhe morning in March.

Zhu Shan put her hands in her pockets and ran to a "Fat Rice Roll" shop. She found an empty table and sat down, "Boss, a small bowl of Fat Rice Roll and a pork pot helmet."

The landlady poked her head out of the back kitchen window, "Clear soup or red soup?"

"Red soup, spicy and spicy."

The fat rice rolls haven't arrived yet, but Zhu Shan has already taken out her chopsticks and is waiting eagerly.

You know, during the nearly six years she spent abroad, she missed the delicious food in Yuhe.

Zhu Shan has only been back to China for a week, and she has already checked in a lot of delicious food. She just regrets that her belly is not big enough to accommodate them all at once.

After eating this sumptuous breakfast, Zhu Shan was sweating all over.

She scanned the QR code to pay and then went to catch the bus.

Zhu Shan was in the second semester of her senior year. She had to persuade her family to agree to return to China for internship. Of course, she also made up an extremely ridiculous reason.

Today is her first day as an intern in the social news section of Yuhe TV Station, so she cannot be late.

There were so many people on the bus that it was impossible to get in through the front door. Zhu Shan followed the crowd and squeezed in through the back door.

After the car door closed, Zhu Shan took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then he caught a glimpse of a group of men who had just gotten off the car through the car window. One of the men wearing a peaked cap lowered his head and was pushed to the wall and searched.

The bus gradually drove away, and Zhu Shan withdrew her gaze.

A thief met a group of policemen on a bus, was caught red-handed, and got off the bus to search for stolen goods?

Zhu Shan nodded, her keen intuition telling her that this should be the case.

It was only half past eight when Zhu Shan arrived at Yuhe TV Station. She felt that the spicy rice rolls in the morning made her stomach upset, so she went to a convenience store and bought a box of yogurt.

Zhu Shan leisurely entered the lobby of the TV station building with a straw in her mouth. Before she could react, Zhu Shan was surrounded by several grown men.

She stared at her big round eyes and stiffly spit out the straw, "This, this is... a welcome ceremony for new employees?"

The leading man stepped forward, took out his ID and pointed it at Zhu Shan, "Police. We now suspect that there are illegal items in your bag. Please cooperate with the investigation."

police?

Illegal items?

What's happening here?

Zhu Shan was ripped off before she could react.

The yogurt on her hand fell to the ground, leaving white marks on her little black ankle boots.

Soon, Zhu Shan heard "Found it".

She quickly turned around and saw a policeman taking out something wrapped in newspaper from her tote bag, which looked like the traditional Chinese medicine contained in a doctor's bag in a period TV series.

The police opened the newspaper and found a plastic bag. Inside the plastic bag was a small sealed bag containing white powder.

Zhu Shan's eyes were slightly dazed, and she instinctively took two steps back. She shook her hands in front of her chest and stuttered to explain, "No, no, it's not mine. I, I've never seen this thing before."

"take away."

! ! !

Zhu Shan's arms were held hostage, her feet were rubbing on the ground, and she resisted feebly, "Uncle policeman, I was wronged!!! I am innocent!!!"

It was working time, and there were many onlookers in the lobby of the TV station, but they did not dare to come forward.

Seeing this situation, Qu Lianjie took out his portable micro-camera and voice recorder.

He held up the recording pen and followed, "Hello, I am a reporter from the "Social Hotline" column of Yuhe TV Station. May I ask this young woman..."

Before he could finish speaking, the recorder was pushed away by the police.

The policeman said solemnly, "Don't hinder the investigation of the case!"

Zhu Shan recognized the man who was "getting news materials on the spot" as Director Qu who interviewed her a few days ago.

She struggled to turn her head, a little excited, "Director Qu, it's me, Director Qu, I'm Zhu Shan."

Qu Lianjie looked at her for two seconds, looking a little surprised.

The policeman stopped and looked at Qu Lianjie, "Know him?"

"This... shouldn't be counted." Qu Lianjie subconsciously wanted to clarify. Looking at Zhu Shan, he paused and then changed his mind, "She is from my department."

The policeman held Qu Lianjie's shoulders and said, "You also come with us."

Qu Lianjie emphasized, "???"

****

Zhu Shan was inexplicably taken to the police station and sat in the interrogation room.

In front of her sat two police officers, a man and a woman.

It was pitch dark around the interrogation room, but the lights were bright, but at this moment the light made Zhu Shan panic.

After a while.

The policewoman raised her head and asked in a deep voice, "Name?"

Zhu Shan, "Zhu Shan, Coral Shan."

"age?"

"twenty two."

"Profession?"

"J-Reporter... No! I'm an intern reporter! No, no, I'm still a senior student, now an intern!"

"Are you nervous?"

Zhu Shan's teeth chattered, and her cheek muscles twitched when she smiled, "It's a bit cold."

"Shall I make you a cup of hot coffee?"

"That's troublesome." Zhu Shan paused for two seconds, "No, no need, please ask quickly, I don't want to stay here."

The policewoman stared at Zhu Shan coldly, "Do you know what's in your bag?"

"I don't know." Zhu Shan shook her head violently and explained, "That's not mine. I don't know what it is or why it's in my bag. I didn't see it until the police uncle found it. It's really not mine. I don't know what it is." I've never seen it. I'm really...unjust!"

The policewoman tapped her pen on the table, "It's methamphetamine."

Methylpropylamine?

Damn it! ! !

The policewoman narrowed her eyes and asked, "Do you know how many grams you have in your bag?"

"have no idea."

"200 g."

200 g?

Wouldn't that mean death?

Zhu Shan's face suddenly turned pale and she was a little excited, "It's really not mine. I was wronged."

"Don't get excited yet." The policewoman pointed to the chair, motioned to Zhu Shan not to move, and then said, "We will investigate whether it is yours or not. We will not unjustly accuse an innocent person, and of course we will not let a criminal go."

Zhu Shan could only repeat those words feebly, "It's really not mine."

At this time, the door to the interrogation room opened, and a male policeman came in. He handed a blue card to the policewoman, then bowed his head and said a few words in the policewoman's ear.

The interrogation room was closed again. The policewoman stared at the card for a few seconds, then stood up and walked to Zhu Shan.

Zhu Shan knew that the card was her ID card, but she didn't know what went wrong. The majestic policewoman looked a little troubled now.

She just felt that the policewoman's low-heeled shoes seemed to step on her heart with every step, as if her heart would be crushed in the next second.

The policewoman turned around and stared directly at Zhu Shan, "Is your nationality SJP?"

Zhu Shan nodded blankly.

"Then why do you know jade and dialect?"

Zhu Shan remembered the words she used to express "I'm wronged" just now.

The policewoman approached, looked directly into Zhu Shan's eyes, and her voice was a little colder than before, "Do you have multiple nationalities?"

! ! !

Zhu Shan shook her head, "No! My father is from Yuhe, and my mother is from SJP. Five years after she married my father, my mother has become a ZG citizen in accordance with domestic laws and regulations."

Having said this, Zhu Shan's heart still couldn't help but beat hard.

She breathed out slowly and continued, "My parents passed away when I was 14 years old. My only relative, my aunt, adopted me. I went to SJP when I was 16 and became an SJP citizen."

"How did your parents die?"

Zhu Shan was reluctant to answer. She tightened her fingers and asked, "Excuse me, does how they died have anything to do with this matter?"

"Your social connections are very important."

Zhu Shan pinched her fingers into her palms and tried to speak as calmly as possible, "My father committed suicide by jumping off a building, and my mother had a car accident."

"What are their names? We need to check." The policewoman said in a questioning tone.

Zhu Shan's eyes dimmed and she lowered her eyelids, "My father's name is Zhu Xiaowen, and my mother's name is Xu Nian."

After saying that, Zhu Shan suddenly thought of something and raised her head, "Did you catch a criminal on the No. 45 bus this morning?"

"Admit knowing each other?"

"No." Zhu Shan analyzed carefully, "I also took the same bus to work this morning. I got on from the back door. I seemed to see you plainclothes policemen handling the case. Look, my bag is a tote bag, open. , if I am in the wrong body, will it be easy for him to frame that bag of things and blame me?"

"..."

Zhu Shan felt that she was too witty, and her eyes were bright, "Really? Does it make sense?"

The female police officer asked, "Why did you get up from the back door of the bus? Didn't you mean to meet him on purpose?"

"There are so many people. Isn't everyone like this during rush hours?"

"How do you know it's a plainclothes policeman handling the case?"

"Of course you are, you are all upright!"

The female police officer still wanted to ask, but the door of the interrogation room opened again, and a policeman came in and whispered a few words in a low voice.

The interrogation room door closed again.

The policewoman sat back at the table, "We need to investigate your social relationships. Apart from your deceased parents, is there anyone in the country you can contact?"

"I've only been back for a week and I haven't contacted anyone."

"Where are relatives and friends?"

As for her father's incident, where are her relatives and friends?

Zhu Shan lowered his head and shook his head.

Policewoman, "It's very difficult for us to deal with you like this. The person who came with you this morning, the director of your TV station, also said that he didn't know you at all. Also, I need to remind you that the criminal on the bus can talk. is yours."

"???" Zhu Shan gasped in shock.

"So, if you can't provide clear social relations, we can only check slowly. It will take time to cross the border, and you can't leave for the time being."

Can't leave?

Zhu Shan panicked, bit her lip and said, "Ling Yue, Ling Yue is my friend. He works in the court. Can he help me prove my innocent social relationship?"

"Which court?"

"Beidou City Xicheng District People's Court."

The policewoman raised her chin to the policeman who had been taking notes next to her, "Go and make a phone call."

After waiting for a long time, Ling Yue was not contacted.

Zhu Shan only felt that the policewoman's eyes were getting sharper and more terrifying.

I don't know if it was too cold here. Zhu Shan felt that her toes were cold, her back was chilly, and her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her mouth.

She clenched her fingers into fists, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and said with great reluctance, "I still have a social connection."

"What?"

Zhu Shan raised her head, her big eyes and eyelashes fluttering twice, "I have a husband, his name is Ling Xiao."

"Ling Xiao?"

"Yes, you can contact him."

After the interrogation room became quiet, Zhu Shan hit the table hard twice with her forehead, and then lay down on it weakly.

She didn't tell anyone when she came back, not even her only friend Ling Yue, for fear that his big mouth would let his brother Ling Xiao know about it.

The person she least wanted to see was Ling Xiao!

Zhu Shan's mind was filled with the words "It's over" dancing, which made her head hurt.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Shan was taken away from the interrogation room, and then saw Ling Xiao, whom she hadn't seen for four years.

Her husband in name, her spouse in law.

Ling Xiao wore a well-fitting gray suit with a dark coat on top, which made his figure look straight and stylish.

His sharp gaze swept over, and Zhu Shan immediately looked away.

Ling Xiao's calm voice came to her ears.

"I am Ling Xiao, I am husband and wife to Zhu Shan, and I am also her...lawyer."

Zhu Shan was shocked because she still couldn't control her emotions over the words "husband and wife relationship".

She looked over.

Ling Xiao's eyebrows are high, his eyebrows are neat and black, his eyes are as black as ink, double inward, and his nose is straight, and he looks extremely aggressive.

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to meet Zhu Shan's gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then lightly opened the corners of his mouth.

It's still the same as before. When he smiles, the right corner of his mouth is always slightly higher, a bit naughty, and a bit annoying and arrogant.

Not a friendly smile at all.

More like provocation!

Zhu Shan subconsciously straightened her back and felt that the nerves in her brain were tense.
