Chapter 2 Chapter Two

In the evening, dusk turns the sky orange.On a road that has not yet been opened, several cars are parked on the side of the road. Cameras and props are all available. Everyone is busy with the upcoming shooting. A slender figure was leaning against the side of the car, his short hair was highlighted and dyed brown, he was wearing frayed light blue jeans and a loose short-sleeved T-shirt, and he was wearing big headphones, humming softly to the streaming music Song.The setting sun enveloped him lightly, forming a beautiful silhouette. "Wu Ning, are you ready? We're about to start shooting." Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Wu Ning turned around and took off the earphones, "Assistant Director, I'm available anytime." "I knew it, I have confidence in you, you are one of the best stuntmen in this line of work right now." Wu Ning smiled easily, took out the MP3 in his arms and put it in the backpack on the car, straightened his clothes, walked towards the car prepared for shooting with his head held high, opened the car door, stretched his long legs and sat in.He started the car, held the steering wheel with both hands, and stared at the hand gesture of Changji, his eyes were burning, like a leopard waiting for an order, it flew out.

His task today is to go around the detour in front of him at the speed of a racing car, make a sharp 360-degree turn and stop the car.This is the most basic skill of an action actor, and for him, it is easy. "Okay, all departments are in place!" As soon as the loudspeaker sounded, everyone got busy and rushed to their posts.A scene recorder ran to the other end of the road turning, put up a sign saying "Shooting, please detour", and then ran back in a hurry, not paying attention at all. In his hurry, the warning sign was knocked down, and he lay quietly on the ground.

Following the director's command to start filming, Wu Ning stepped on the accelerator, and the car immediately sped forward like an arrow off the string.Wu Ning looked ahead and calculated the angle and distance. Just a few meters away from the turn, he turned the steering wheel abruptly. The car tilted slightly and went around the turn. But I saw another car approaching not far away. Wu Ning's expression froze. Such a situation had never happened before. The scene should have been cleared long before the shooting. How could there be other vehicles?And the other party obviously didn't expect that there would be a car turning out at such a desperate speed. Both of them were desperately slowing down, but the two cars were still getting closer.

For a moment, there was only the whistling of the wind.Wu Ning stepped on the brakes and focused on controlling the steering wheel in his hand, the screeching sound of brakes echoed on the road. Amidst the screams of everyone around, the two cars finally stopped at the last moment before the collision. The distance between each other was only a few centimeters, and if they got closer, they would have a close contact face to face. Wu Ning collected himself, took a deep breath, and looked at the driver in the opposite car through the windshield.What came into view was an immature face, neat and smooth short hair, delicate eyebrows, and watery black eyes full of shock and bewilderment.

Wu Ning frowned, couldn't help feeling angry, opened the car door and walked out, came to the front car, bent down and knocked on the half-rolled window, "Little devil, do you know that minors drive without a license?" very dangerous?" Cheng Che, who hadn't recovered from his shock just now, was stabbed in the sore spot by Wu Ning's "minor", angrily opened the car door and got out of the car. After realizing that he was slightly taller than Wu Ning, he felt a sense of indifference. His sense of superiority made him grin proudly. He took out his driver's license and waved it in front of Wu Ning, "Who are you talking about driving without a license? See what it is?"

"Police?" Wu Ning looked Cheng Che up and down, "Didn't you steal your ID to bluff people?" Cheng Che was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly withdrew his hand only to realize that in his haste, he showed Wu Ning his police ID as a driver's license.He simply made mistakes, raised his head and said confidently: "It's genuine, with my photo on it." "That's good, but even the police can't break into the filming area at will, are you going to kill yourself?" "How do I know that you guys are filming?" Cheng Che retorted unconvinced.

"Didn't you see the warning sign at the intersection?" Wu Ning raised his finger, but only then did he realize that the sign at the intersection had already fallen to the ground. "Look, it's obvious that you didn't check well." Wu Ning snorted coldly, "I blamed you wrongly. I apologize. If there is nothing wrong, please move the car away. The staff will come to move the car later. Don't get in the way." After finishing speaking, Wu Ning took a step forward and walked to the rest area beside him.At this time, the staff on the other side came up one after another and greeted with concern, "Are you okay?" "Wu Ning, how are you?"

"Wu Ning, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." The field responsible for putting up the warning sign couldn't remember nodding and apologizing. "I'm fine. Everyone makes mistakes, so don't worry about it." Wu Ning waved his hand, walked towards the nanny car gracefully, took off his short coat and put it on, and carried his backpack.He was about to leave, but Cheng Che who didn't know when to follow blocked his way. "You are Wu Ning? Let's talk." Wu Ning glanced at Cheng Che indifferently, "I don't seem to have broken the law, and I have nothing to talk to the police about."

Seeing Wu Ning bypassing him and stepping on his bicycle, Cheng Che hurried to catch up, "A murder case happened this morning, the situation of the deceased at the scene is similar to that described in your father Wu Xiao's detective novel "The Doll's Killing Intent" before his death." exactly the same." Wu Ning froze to step on the pedal, and when he raised his head again, there was a nonchalant smile on his face, "So? My dad has been dead for three years. Could it be that you suspect him to be the murderer?" "No, Wu Xiao is the writer I admire the most. Even if he is alive, I don't think he will kill people..." Realizing that he seems to have deviated from the topic, Cheng Che coughed lightly and said seriously, "We just want to know, you Any clues?"

"No comment. It should be your police's job to investigate the case. Work hard, brat." Wu Ning said, patted Cheng Che's head earnestly, kicked hard, and the bicycle galloped out. "Hey, hey, wait..." Cheng Che yelled twice in vain from behind, and realized that Wu Ning had no intention of stopping at all, so he reacted, ran to the car, sat in the car again, started the car and chased after him. Wu Ning's bicycle was pedaling like the wind, even though Cheng Che was driving, he didn't see the slightest advantage.Even after Wu Ning deftly passed through a few alleys, Cheng Che started chasing him in a panic. Fortunately, he learned how to track in the police academy, so he managed not to lose him. Seeing Wu Ning stop the car in front of a yard and start locking the car, Cheng Che hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road and ran forward a few steps. Wu Ning didn't even look at Cheng Che, got up and said, "A friendly reminder, the traffic police in this area are very diligent in patrolling, and it's easy to get a ticket. Don't feel bad when the time comes." "It's okay, the team leader will take care of these things..." Cheng Che replied subconsciously, only to realize that Wu Ning had taken him away from the topic again, and stopped talking suddenly. Wu Ning raised his eyebrows, "It's convenient to be a policeman." While talking, he was already walking into the yard. "Hey, don't go, just talk a few words, it won't take too much time for you..." "I have to go back to make dinner, so I don't have time to discuss the murder case with the kid." "I just have a small face!" Wu Ning turned around, gave Cheng Che, who was almost in a frenzy, a look of "you are free", opened the courtyard door and walked in.A black shadow flew out of the door and threw itself into Wu Ning's arms without any mistakes. "Sister, are you back? Why are you so noisy?" A small face poked out from in front of Wu Ning, looking at Cheng Che, "Who is he? Sister, your friend?" "I don't know, just smile, let's go, go back to the house, and make your favorite braised pork rice for dinner today." "Okay!" Immediately, childish cheers resounded through the sky, and two people, one big and one small, walked into the house holding hands, leaving only Cheng Che who was still standing outside the yard in a daze. What did that kid say just now?elder sister?That Wu Ning is a woman?He vaguely remembered that Dong Peng had indeed said that Wu Xiao had a son and a daughter, but he never thought that Wu Ning was the eldest daughter and had a younger brother. But it's not right, Cheng Che scratched his head in doubt, she seemed to have patted his shoulder just now, if she was a woman, how could... "Who is disturbing people's dreams outside other people's doors at night?" A lazy voice with the meaning of watching a good show rang in Cheng Che's ear. "Sorry……" Cheng Che was about to apologize when he suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar. He turned his head and saw Shang Yunxuan, who was dressed casually, leaning against the door of the courtyard next door, with a playful arc on his mouth, looking at him with a smile . "Forensic doctor?" Cheng Che's eyes widened, "Why are you here?" Shang Yunxuan pointed to the yard beside him, "This is my home, if I'm not here, where else can I be?" "Your house? But, but..." Cheng Che looked blankly at the two courtyards separated by a wall, and stammered, "This, this is not..." "It seems that you have already met Xiao Ning." Shang Yunxuan seemed to have understood what he meant, and replied with a smile. "Shang Forensic Doctor, do you know Wu Ning?" "Obviously, I have been neighbors with the Wu family for many years." "But, but when you were in the Bureau, why didn't you say so?" Shang Yunxuan spread his hands, and said calmly, "You didn't ask me if I knew Wu Xiao's family." "I..." Cheng Che scratched his head, and felt that Shang Yunxuan's words seemed to make sense, but something was wrong, and he didn't notice Shang Yunxuan's strong words. "Okay, looking at you like this, you must have been shut down, Xiao Ning's temper is like this." Shang Yunxuan stepped forward and patted Cheng Che friendly, "In order to make up for me not saying hello in advance, I will help you in." Go to Wu's house." "How?" Cheng Che couldn't react for a while. "You are the only one that Xiao Ning doesn't welcome, look at me." Shang Yunxuan walked outside the gate of Wu's courtyard and raised his voice to say hello: "Xiao Ning, Xiaoxiao, are you at home? What's for dinner today? Count me in." "Brother Shang is here!" So, following the crisp child's voice, Cheng Che stared dumbfounded at Wu Xiaoxiao's short body running out again, and greeted Shang Yunxuan with a warm smile. After that, Shang Yunxuan successfully led Cheng Che into the room. the Wu family. Hearing the busy sounds coming from the kitchen, Cheng Che looked at the Wu family curiously.Wu's house is a small two-story building with a single courtyard, and there are traces of being overturned. Although the area is not large, it is enough to accommodate two siblings. The place where they are now seems to be a living room and dining room, with a dining table and a few chairs, with a glass partition in the middle, and the situation on the other side can be seen.At one end of the partition, a large bookcase took up almost half of the area. Several rows of books were neatly stacked on it. Even though there was still some distance, because they were too familiar, Cheng Che recognized all the novels written by Wu Xiao at a glance. Wu Ning walked in with a plate and put it on the table in front of several people. The food was fragrant, and Cheng Che came back to his senses. He realized that he had already rushed to the set from the police station, and he had already had dinner before he had time to eat. It's hungry. "Have a meal……" Amidst Wu Xiaoxiao's cheers, several pairs of chopsticks reached out to the dining table at the same time. Cheng Che put a piece of chicken in his mouth, and after chewing a few times, he felt a sharp dissatisfied stare fall on the table like an arrow. On his body, he felt as if a light was on his back, and he was almost caught by a chicken bone. Cheng Che coughed violently, but fortunately Wu Xiaoxiao handed him a glass of water from the side, and after a few sips, he managed to catch his breath. "Thank you, kid." Cheng Che looked at Wu Xiaoxiao gratefully. "He has a name and a surname. My name is Wu Xiaoxiao." Wu Xiaoxiao seemed very dissatisfied with Cheng Che's statement, swallowed his mouthful of food, and looked at Cheng Che curiously, "But brother, are you really a policeman? The little brother of the Chen family next door is about the same age?" "Uh, how old is Brother Chen?" Cheng Che suddenly had a bad feeling. "Fifteen years old." Wu Xiaoxiao raised his head and replied with a smile. Cheng Che was speechless for a while, so he had to drink another big mouthful of water depressedly, but Shang Yunxuan laughed so hard that he could hardly straighten up.Shang Yunxuan patted Wu Xiaoxiao's head, and explained kindly: "Xiaoxiao, I can prove that he is indeed a policeman. This brother's face grows a bit slower, but he is actually twenty-five years old." "Ah? That's bigger than my sister." Wu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth cutely, looked carefully at Cheng Che's face for a moment, and finally shook her head seriously. "Okay, Yunxuan, I'm not interested in the murder case you want to investigate, why did you bring him in?" Wu Ning interjected dissatisfiedly, interrupting several people's interesting discussion about Cheng Che's age. "Xiao Ning, he is also my colleague after all. Everyone has arrived at the door. It is always polite to entertain a meal, right?" "Yunxuan..." Wu Ning really wanted to ask, if that's the case, why did he use my family's food to treat him?But according to her understanding of Shang Yunxuan for many years, if she asks, he must have thousands of weird excuses waiting, and he is always the one who is right in the end.So, Wu Ning gave up arguing with Shang Yunxuan, and pointed at Cheng Che, "Hey, you, I've made it very clear, I don't want to talk to you, why are you still pestering me?" Cheng Che touched his nose, and innocently blinked his watery eyes, like a child eager for toys, "I just want you to hear about this case." "Don't the police need to keep the case secret? And the police beg others to listen to the case?" Wu Ning said indifferently. "If it doesn't involve confidentiality, you can also briefly describe it." "Sister, let's just listen and watch, it feels very exciting." Wu Xiaoxiao tugged at Wu Ning's sleeves, his face glowing with excitement. Wu Ning couldn't cruelly refuse his brother's plea, so he had to compromise, "If you want to talk, I'll give you a few minutes, but don't expect me to be of any help to you." Cheng Che's eyes lit up, and he began to narrate endlessly: "A female corpse was found in a garbage dump this morning. She was stabbed to death in the back, but the strange thing is that the corpse was placed on an old sofa with a woman in her arms. Brand new doll." "Wow, isn't that exactly the same as the story in Dad's novel?" Wu Xiaoxiao was speechless. "Yes, that's why I came to you. Think about it carefully. Is there any story about that doll's nursery rhyme? Or, did Wu Xiao refer to it when he created the book "Doll's Killing Intent"? what?" "The person who wrote that book is my dad. You should ask him about it. We don't know, and we don't care." Cheng Che raised his lips slightly, "You said it so strongly, why don't you keep all of Wu Xiao's books well?" As soon as Cheng Che's words fell, Wu Ning's face changed, and with a bang, he put the bowl and chopsticks heavily on the table, and said coldly, "I have long wanted to throw away those books. The kind of books that are only obsessed with writing every day, not at all. Who should remember the father who cared about the life and death of his children, and was finally murdered by his own book fans in a ridiculous way?" After Wu Ning finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room without looking back. "feed me……" Shang Yunxuan stopped Cheng Che's words.Shang Yunxuan shook his head at him, the expression on his face was obvious: If you don't want to be kicked out immediately, you'd better shut up and eat obediently. Cheng Che lowered his head knowingly, and put the rice in his mouth. Wu Xiaoxiao's sigh, which was beyond his age, resounded in a low voice, "I begged my sister to keep my father's book. In front of my sister, It’s better not to mention dad, otherwise you may die a miserable death, big brother. In order to be a good martial arts stand-in, my sister won the highest rank in all martial arts categories.” Thinking of Wu Ning's nimble skills on the set, Cheng Che couldn't help shrinking his neck secretly.
