In March, it was still very cold in the morning in Yuhe City.

Zhu Shan put her hands in her pockets and trotted to a "pig intestines noodle" store. She found an empty table and sat down. "Please give me a small bowl of pig intestines noodle and a pork crusty pancake."

The store owner poked her head out of the kitchen window and asked, "Clear soup or red soup?"

"Red soup, add more chilli."

Before the pork intestine noodle was served, Zhu Shan had already pulled out her chopsticks and was waiting with anticipation.

She had missed the delicious food of Yuhe City very much in the past six years when she was abroad.

It had only been a week since Zhu Shan returned to the homeland, but she had already bought and ate a lot of delicious food. She only hated that her stomach was not big enough to accommodate all of them at once.

After the big breakfast, Zhu Shan broke out in sweat because of hot food.

She scanned the code to pay the bill, and then rushed to take the bus.

Zhu Shan was in the second semester of her senior year. She tried her best to persuade her family to agree to let her return to homeland for an internship. Of course, she made up a ridiculous excuse.

Today was the first day of her internship at Yuhe TV Station. She couldn't be late.

There were so many people on the bus that they couldn't get in through the front door. Zhu Shan followed the crowd and squeezed in the bus through the back door.

After the door was closed, Zhu Shan took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Then she glimpsed through the window a group of men who had just gotten off the bus, and one of them, a man in a cap with his head down, was pushed against the wall and searched.

Zhu Shan withdrew her gaze as the bus drifted away.

The thief met a group of policemen on the bus, was caught on the spot, and got out of the car to search for stolen goods?

Zhu Shan nodded. Her keen intuition told her that this should be the case.

It was only 8:30 a. m. when Zhu Shan arrived at Yuhe TV Station. She felt uncomfortable with the pork intestine noodle soup in the morning, so she went to the convenience store to buy a box of yogurt.

Biting the straw, she walked leisurely into the lobby of the TV station. Before Zhu Shan could react, she was surrounded by several men.

She widened her big round eyes and spat out the straw stiffly. "This, this is…a welcome ceremony for new employees?"

The leading man stepped forward and took out his credentials against Zhu Shan: "Police. Now I suspect you have illegal items in your bag, please cooperate with the investigation."

Police?

"Illegal items?"

What was going on?

Before Zhu Shan could react, her bag was taken from her.

The yogurt in her hand fell to the ground, leaving a white mark on her black ankle boots.

Soon, Zhu Shan heard someone say, "Found it."

She quickly turned around and saw a policeman take out something wrapped in a newspaper from her tote bag, which looked like traditional Chinese medicine in ancient costume drama.

The policeman opened the newspaper. It was a plastic bag, in which was a small sealed bag containing white powder.

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

"Take her away."

！！！

With her arms held hostage, Zhu Shan rubbed her feet on the ground and struggled feebly. "Sir, I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"

It was working time. There were many onlookers in the TV station lobby, but none of them dared to go forward.

Seeing this, Qu Lianjie took out his micro camera and recording pen.

He raised his recording pen and followed her. "Hello, I'm a reporter from the Yuhe TV Social Hotline Program Group. May I ask this young lady…"

Before he could finish his words, the recording pen was pushed away by the policeman.

"Don't interfere with the case!" warned by the police.

Zhu Shan recognized that the man who was "taking news material on the spot" was Director Qu, who had interviewed her a few days ago.

She struggled to turn her head and said excitedly, "Director Qu, it's me, Director Qu. I'm Zhu Shan."

Qu Lianjie looked at her for two seconds and couldn't help but look a little surprised.

The policeman stopped and looked at Qu Lianjie. "Do you know her?"

"Well…I don't think so." Qu Lianjie subconsciously wanted to distance himself from her. He looked at Zhu Shan, paused, and then changed his words. "She is in my department."

The policeman held Qu Lianjie by the shoulder and said, "You come with us too."

Qu Lianjie emphasized, "???"

Zhu Shan was taken to the Police Station for no reason and sat in the interrogation room.

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

It was dark in the interrogation room, and the lights were bright, but at this moment, they made Zhu Shan panic.

After a long time.

The policewoman raised her head and asked in a deep voice, "What's your name?"

Zhu Shan replied, "Zhu Shan."

"Age?"

“22。”

"Profession?"

"Journalist, journalist…No! I'm an intern journalist! No, no, I'm still a senior student. I'm an intern now!"

"Are you nervous?"

Zhu Shan smiled with her teeth are chattering. "It's a little cold."

"I'll make you a cup of hot coffee?"

"Sorry to bother you." Zhu Shan paused for two seconds. "No, no, 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, and I don't know why it in my bag. I saw it first time until the police found. It's really not mine. I haven't seen it before. I'm really…undeserved!"

The policewoman knocked on the table with her pen and said, "It's methylamphetamine."

"Methylamphetamine?"

What the f*ck!!!

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

"I don't know."

"200 grams."

Two hundred grams?

Am I going to die?

Zhu Shan turned pale in an instant and said excitedly, "It's really not me. I was undeserved."

"Calm down." The policewoman pointed at the chair and motioned for Zhu Shan no to move. Then she said, "We will investigate it thoroughly. We won't wrong an innocent person, and of course, we won't spare a criminal."

Zhu Shan could only repeat her words weakly, "It's really not mine."

At this time, the door of the interrogation room opened, and a policeman came in, handed a blue card to the policewoman, and then whispered a few words to her.

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

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

She only felt that the policewoman's every step seemed to step on her heart, as if her heart would be crushed in the next second.

The policewoman turned around and stared straight at Zhu Shan. "Your nationality is SJP?"

Zhu Shan nodded in a daze.

"Then why did you use Yuhe City dialect?"

Zhu Shan remembered the Yuhe City that she had used when she called her "undeserved".

The policewoman approached Zhu Shan and stared straight into her eyes. Her voice was colder than before. "How many nationalities do you have?"

！！！

Zhu Shan shook her head. "No! My father is a native of Yuhe City, and my mother is SJP people. Five years after my mother married my father, she was accepted into ZG Country according to the domestic regulations."

Speaking of this, Zhu Shan couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.

She slowly exhaled and continued, "My parents passed away when I was 14 years old. My aunt who is my only relative adopted me. I went to SJP at the age of 16 and became a citizen of SJP."

"How did your parents die?"

Zhu Shan didn't want to answer. She clenched her fingers and asked, "Excuse me, does their death have any relations with this?"

"Your social relations are very important."

Zhu Shan clenched her fingers and tried to sound as calm as possible. "My father leaped his own death. My mother was dead in a car accident."

"What is their name? We need to verify it." The policewoman's tone was doubtful.

Zhu Shan lowered her eyes and said, "My father is Zhu Xiaowen, and my mother is Xu Nian."

After that, Zhu Shan suddenly thought of something and looked up. "Did you catch a criminal on bus No. 45 this morning?"

"Do you admit that you know him?"

"No." Zhu Shan analyzed seriously. "I also took that bus to work this morning, I got on the back door. I thought I saw you plain-clothes men working a case, and you see my bag is a tote bag which has an open bag. If I pass by that person, is it easy for him to plant that bag of things on me?"

“...”

Zhu Shan felt that she was too quick-witted. Her eyes sparkled. "Is that so? That makes sense, doesn't it?"

The policewoman asked, "Why did you go up from the back door of the bus? Didn't you contact him on purpose?"

"There are so many people. It's rush hour. Isn't everyone like this?"

"How did you know that the plain-clothes man handling a case?"

"Of course, you're righteous!"

The policewoman wanted to ask more, but the door of the interrogation room opened again. A policeman came in and whispered a few words.

The door of the interrogation room was closed again.

The policewoman sat back at the table. "We need to investigate your social relations. In addition to your deceased parents, who can you contact in the country?"

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

"What about your relatives and friends?"

As for what happened to her father, where were her relatives and friends?

Zhu Shan lowered her head and shook her head.

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

"???" Zhu Shan gasped in shock.

"So, if you can't provide a clear social relationship, we can only investigate slowly. As for the cross-border case, it will take time, and you can't leave before that."

I can't leave?

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

"Which court?"

"Beidu Xicheng District People's Court."

The policewoman raised her chin at the policeman who had been recording the statement. "Go make a call."

After waiting for a long time, she couldn't get in touch with Ling Yue.

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

Zhu Shan didn't know if it was because this place was too cold, but she felt a chill run down her spine. Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her mouth.

She clenched her fingers, lowered her head, closed her eyes, and said reluctantly, "I have another social relationship."

"What?"

Zhu Shan raised her head, her big eyes blinking. "I have a husband. His name is Ling Xiao."

"Ling Xiao?"

"Yes, you can contact him."

After the interrogation room was quiet, Zhu Shan hit the table hard with her forehead and then lay down feebly.

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

The last person she wanted to see was Ling Xiao!

All Zhu Shan could think of was "I'm over", and she felt a headache coming on.

After a period of time, Zhu Shan was taken away from the interrogation room and she saw Ling Xiao, whom she had not seen for four years.

He was her husband in name, her legal partner.

Ling Xiao was wearing a fitting grey suit and a dark coat, which set off his good figure.

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

Ling Xiao said calmly in her ear.

"I'm Ling Xiao, husband of Zhu Shan. I'm also her…lawyer."

Zhu Shan felt her heart skip a beat. She still couldn't control her feelings when she heard the words "husband-wife relationship".

She looked over.

Ling Xiao was tall and straight. His eyebrows were neat and black, and his eyes were as black as ink. His nose was straight, and he looked extremely aggressive.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhu Shan, raised his eyebrows slightly and then smiled faintly.

He was still the same as before. When he smiled, the corners of his right mouth were always slightly higher, a little mischievous, and a little annoying.

It was not a friendly smile at all.

It was more like a provocation!

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