The man didn't seem happy and followed him out in dismay. In the office area, he signed and had his fingerprints printed. The policeman in charge looked at him and seemed to feel that it was a pity for such a man to have five people and six people. He said earnestly: "Don't commit any crime again in the future. He is a good young man. There is nothing wrong with him." Shi Jun dug out the other person's eyes fiercely, threw the pen away and turned away. Huo Gang, who came to ransom someone, said a few polite words to his friend and followed him out unhurriedly.

"In the end, these green mountains will remember our warmth, and the winter wind will send our thoughts to us in the spring. I hope Matsumoto Shota-kun can live happily in that unknown place to us." After reading this paragraph, the priest in a black coat closed the Bible that was barely used in his hand. He sniffed his nose, which was red from the cold, and ran to the small SUV parked on the roadside of the mountain. "Thank you all for coming today. Now please follow the car down the mountain. Lunch is ready." A boy who looked like a high school student waved to everyone and shouted loudly, his voice becoming a little confused in the strong wind that blew from time to time. The crowd was bustling and dispersed wider. They each walked towards their cars, and the originally solemn atmosphere became lively.

As soon as Wang Dong opened the car door, he saw the building from a distance, with earth-red walls, dark blue sloping roof, and several windows on the front, which reflected white light spots under the sunlight. Although it was too far away to see clearly, the building was so conspicuous in this wilderness that Wang Dong spotted it at first sight. "It should be right here." Wang Dong took out his luggage from the trunk of the car, then took out his wallet and counted the fare. The driver glanced at the thick stack of banknotes in Wang Dong's wallet, coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Brother, look at this guy who's in the middle of nowhere and has no passengers. He's going back to the city to burn empty gas. Can... Can you add some?" Wang Dong glanced at him and took an extra fifty and handed it to him.

Lu Xiaoci came to Company M to "lurk" and uncover the murderer of a case she witnessed ten years ago. She didn't have to go to such trouble. She only needed to take two days off, wait for the person like a plainclothes policeman by the gate of Company M, and then figure out who that person was. The rest could be left to the police. She only had to be a good witness. Unexpectedly, emergencies followed one after another, and things became more and more complicated. If Lu Xiaoci hadn't been so bored that day that she went to a newly opened restaurant to eat, then she would probably still be hanging around in her original company. The restaurant was full of diners that day, and when the salesperson who had just taken up the job was clumsily bringing a portion of bacon and stir-fried cauliflower, he bumped into a man who was eating at the next table. The moment the man turned back, Lu Xiaoci felt like a 2D movie suddenly changed into a 3D format, and the man's face suddenly popped into Lu Xiaoci's brain.

A large wave suddenly surged up, knocking a ship to one side and almost capsized. On such a stormy night, ordinary ships would have taken shelter in the harbor to avoid the waves. No one knew why this ship went to sea in such weather. This is actually not a small boat, but a lucky boat made in Fujian. Fortune ships have always been famous for their huge size. When the Three Treasures eunuchs went to the West in the early days of the Kingdom, the treasure ships they took were also based on the fortune ship drawings. Although this ship is not as huge as the treasure ship, its hull length exceeds six feet, making it a rare giant ship. However, no matter how big the boat is, it is still no different from a grain of corn in the sea. It is thrown to the top of the waves and sinks to the bottom of the waves. If this ship hadn't been built extremely solidly, it would have fallen apart long ago.

Under the gloomy sky in Tokyo, light snow has been falling for several days, and a rare sub-zero low temperature forecast appeared on TV programs. The Chinese dumpling restaurant on the corner reflected orange lights, and the sliding glass door was blurred by the steaming hot air inside. "Okay, your four portions of boiled dumplings plus two portions of fried dumplings." The proprietress looked at the four young people in front of her with a smile. "Thank you!" The young man with dyed flaxen-blond hair took the plate. He was the liveliest one among the group. He had been making trouble since he walked in. His face was a little red after drinking, and his delicate outline gave people the impression that he was still a high school student.
