Stopping the road, designing it, seeing it through.

Huang Mao, the leader of the group, asked, "Do you recognize it?"

Everyone nodded: "I recognize it, the one with the white down coat and long hair."

The most important thing to do is not to scare the snake, the game room is chaotic, the light is dark, but only in this kind of place, these people can look around freely, do not have to worry about being found by Dong Ge them.

One of them said, "Brother, when are we going to get him?"

Another one said, "Robbing our big brother's favorite, castrating him alive wouldn't be enough."

Huang Mao gave a tsk, "Just break a leg, it's not easy to explain to anyone if someone gets killed. When will you do it?"

After a brief discussion, a few of them went back to playing billiards together.

A few young people were whining, while the skinny monkey, with an open bottle of beer and two disposable plastic cups, walked over to Huang Mao and poured him a glass: "Go and see."

Huang Mao pulls out the crumpled group photo from his pants pocket: "Take this photo."

Skinny Monkey: "...... Is this the fucking one I gave you?"

"It's been passed around for a round, so you should be satisfied with a complete picture." Huang Mao grinned and made a dirty gesture, "Whoever told the girls to look good, they just went along with the photos ......."

The skinny monkey rubbed the photo on his lapel in disgust, "People recognize familiar?"

"Didn't recognize it."

The skinny monkey glared, "You guys are just jerking off, aren't you?"

Huang Mao waved his hand, "These dance students all look the same at a glance, how can we recognize them?"

Skinny Monkey took the picture out and looked at it.

The teenage girls inside were all in white and black pants, because they were carefully selected from childhood, even their bodies were of the same type.

The appearance is indistinguishable, and the clothes are identical, plus it's a group photo, so it's not like you can't tell the difference at a glance.

Even a skinny monkey would have to count them one by one to recognize where his brother was.

Huang Mao took a sip of his drink, "No single picture of that kid?"

"My brother should have it, but he's too timid to let him know we're doing this." The skinny monkey said, "But that little kid named Dong is quite famous, and there are tons of pictures of him winning awards on the internet."

Huang Mao said, "That's not good enough. This group of turtle cubs, say to beat up a fool who steals other people's daughter-in-law, every one of them yells to go; if you tell them to beat up a world champion, I guess all of them will be bears."

Skinny Monkey frowned slightly, "This matter is afraid to go into the bureau, can they be relied on?"

Huang Mao smacked his lips: "You can rest assured. This small local police I have long been familiar with, surnamed winter is not a good origin, small family only, can not turn too big waves. The cubs I also explained well, let's play a drama, this thing rounded into a 'drunken brawl'......."

Said, he lowered his voice: "...... By then, even if they find Dong Dong Ge identity is not ordinary, for their own not squatting number, but also have to die biting is 'drunken brawl'. We then help them to raise compensation, at most, will be sentenced to fifteen days."

The skinny monkey sighed in relief.

If he didn't have to, he didn't want a brother who couldn't be relied on.

But the surname He is his own brother's dish, and in the future, he may have to enter the door of Lou's family. He himself is also a regular visitor to his cousin's house, and then if he is bumped into by surnamed He when he hangs out with his brothers, then his brother will be finished."

It is not good for close brothers to step in directly, so the skinny monkey is planning to pick a few faces to start with.

Huang Mao patted his shoulder: "Brother Lou, this matter to me you can rest assured, I guarantee to give you a beautiful."

The skinny monkey reminded him, "A leg."

Huang Mao said, "One leg, no more."

The two men smiled at each other and clinked glasses.

Around 5 p.m., the trio emerged from the game room in a group.

Lou Sifan was a bit underwhelmed: "It's time to go now."

He Zhangsheng said, "Today, I said I would go back for dinner with Mama Winter."

Dong Ge: "Uh-huh."

Lou Sifan didn't mind, either, and said mildly, "So where are the three of us going to play tomorrow."

He Zhangsheng fished the pamphlet out of his pocket and flipped to a page where he had taken many careful notes.

There aren't many places to play in the small county, and He Zhangsheng has gone to great lengths to ease Lou Sifan's mind.

He said, "Let's go to karaoke tomorrow."

Lou Sifan suggests, "For karaoke, how about an evening after the barbecue?"

He Zhangsheng looked at Dong Ge: "Go back and ask Mother Dong for her opinion."

Dong Ge: "Uh-huh."

He Zhangsheng said, "Don't keep 'uh-huh'."

Dong Ge thought for a moment and switched to a tautology, "Listen to your seniors."

He Zhangsheng now especially can not stand Dong Ge said "senior" two words, cold, but like seducing people.

He Zhangsheng inclined his face, unconsciously, "...... Well."

Lou Sifan : "...... "My eyes are better off blind.

He forced himself to hold back his impatience and smiled, "Contact me tonight then. I'll book the private room. How about initially setting it for eight to twelve in the evening?"

He Zhangsheng and Dong Ge at the same time: "Uh-huh."

Lou Sifan : "...... Then I'll give you a ride back."

He Zhangsheng said, "Let's give you a ride. Then we'll both walk back." That way you can walk double the distance with Dong Ge.

Lou Sifan's back teeth gnashed, "No need. I'll just go back by myself."

He Zhangsheng, who was rattling off a small abacus, was disappointed when he said, "Huh?"

Lou Sifan forced back the veins popping in his forehead and turned his back, "I'm going back."

Seeing Lou Sifan walk away, Dong Ge said, "Senior, go home."

Hopes raised and hopes dashed, He Zhangsheng drowned in disappointment: "Hmmm."

Dong Ge pursed his lips as he looked at the teenager's despondent and all too obvious expression, "Senpai, let's go to the barber store."

He Zhangsheng looked at him.

Dong Ge rubbed his head, "I'll get a haircut." This will allow the cub to spend longer alone time with his senior.

He Zhangsheng immediately agreed, "Good. I know a place that cuts hair well."

They walked halfway across the small county to a small store that was said to be "good for hair cuts".

Actually, He Zhangsheng doesn't know what a good barber store is, this is the one Lou Sifan frequents.

Neither one of them is a talkative person, Dong Ge quietly cuts hair, He Zhangsheng quietly watches from the side, and both of them feel very solid in their hearts.

They stayed together until after 7:00 p.m., when they took the tripper back to the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Dong Ge was whipped several times by his mother with a bamboo broom for sweeping the bed.

Dong Ge was a bit aggravated, "What for."

Winter mom ferociously poked him in the head: "Little calf, years ago asked you to go to the hair cut why you do not go? The first month of the haircut dead uncle you have not heard of ah?!"

Dong Ge : "...... I don't have an uncle."

Dong Ma choked and pointed towards Dong Feihong who was arranging the dishes at the dining table, "Isn't there still your little uncle here."

Dong Feihong, who was carrying the dishes, couldn't help but say, "It's time to eat."

He Zhangsheng also pursed his lips and smiled.

Dong Ge's family style is very different from the seriousness of Lou Sifan's family, and He Zhangsheng loves the tenderness of these urban mortals.

The next morning, Dong Ge and He Zhangsheng trained at their home rink, and after lunch, they went back to their rooms to take a nap and get ready for the evening.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lou Sifan arrives at the door, and Dong Ge and He Zhangsheng get up and change their clothes.

Dong Ge said to Dong Ma while picking out his jacket, "Mom, you don't have to wait for the door at night."

Winter's mom said, "Which KTV are you playing at? I'll ask your little uncle to pick you up after the show."

Lou Sifan immediately said, "Auntie, don't worry. I'll send Dong Ge and the others back when the scene is over."

Winter's mom: "Yo, how's this for a good time."

Lou Sifan smiles, "I'm the oldest, I should be."

Watching the three men hit the rink and walk out, Huang Mao, who was crouched down for a smoke, observed the trio and texted the punks, who were already ready for them.

"The target is a light blue jacket with a hat."

"Don't ever move on someone wearing red, that's the boss brother's thing."

"The time and place have been sent to you, and there's only one entrance and exit there. Wait for your chance to get on."

By the time the show broke up, the clock was pointing to twelve o'clock.

The first month of the lunar calendar is the day of family reunion, so fewer people come out at night to play with friends, many stores on the street have already turned off their lights and closed, and the only ones still lit up are a few sporadic shampoo parlors. A few old couplets torn off from the doors were swept by the cold wind and flew all over the street, emitting a fluttering sound of paper, as if they were paper money that had been cut and broken.

KTV opened in a winding dimly lit alley, the three out of the KTV, but also to walk through three alleys to the street.

As they crossed the second alleyway, the three men simultaneously heard the sound of a desultory song coming from up ahead.

Lou Sifan smiles slightly as he notices the proximity of the strong odor of alcohol.

...... did come.

Not in vain were his efforts yesterday to politely inform his cousin of the karaoke venue.

But he whirled around and made a tone of utter disgust, "Zhangsheng, Dong Ge, let's step aside."

He Zhangsheng nodded and reached out to take Dong Ge's sleeve, who was walking in the outermost circle: "Pull over."

But it was only when the oncoming group was close at hand that He Zhangsheng realized what it meant to be unavoidable.

Like brutes, they disliked Dong Ge's shoulders without flinching.

Dong Ge was knocked sideways and flung into He Zhangsheng's arms.

Lou Sifan got angry, stepped out and snapped, "What are you doing?"

Dong Ge didn't say a word, and He Zhangsheng, all too familiar with the rhythm of this kind of "trouble-making," reached out to Lou Sifan, trying to signal him not to confront the group.

But it's already too late.

A fat guy at the head of the group, drunk, ho spit on Lou Sifan's shoes, "Yo, pretty awesome."

Lou Sifan seriously accuses, "The road is so wide, do you have to run people over?"

The fat man said, "Hey, I'll bump you. You're not convinced?"

Lou Sifan : "Why don't you people make sense?!"

Fatty grabbed Dong Ge's lapel and picked him up and pushed him toward the gravel ground, "Hey, I won't reason with stupid people, what do you want."

As soon as the words fell, a group of people behind the fat man appeared like a ghost and surrounded Dong Ge and the others from one side in a fan shape, cursing some dirty words in their mouths.

He Zhangsheng turned his gaze around.

There is a home being renovated in this neighborhood, with bricks and long strips of wood.

The current situation is very different from when Dong Ge first took on four, the other side are all adults, all tall and big, there are six or seven of them, and they are only three, plus there are too many tools here, once they really fight, they will definitely be injured.

Especially at this juncture, when they will be competing in a few months.

He Zhangsheng may be straightforward, but that doesn't mean he'll do anything he doesn't want to do.

He knew that the only way was to run.

To his credit, Dong Ge's estimation of his own strength is also quite accurate.

He didn't go looking for a fight, but swept the dust from his lapel in silence and staggered to his feet.

Who would have thought that the fat man, seeing him get up, sprang up and kicked up, just in time to hit him in the stomach.

The kick was so bad that Dong Ge rolled several meters away.

Lou Sifan saw the moment, pushed the fat man and yelled, "RUN!!!"

Dong Ge reacted very quickly, ignoring the pain and pulling on the sleeve of He Zhangsheng, who had come to pull him out, and turned his head and ran wildly toward where they had come from.

061 asked the same question for the thirty-sixth time, and his tone had taken on a touch of unspeakable anxiety, "Do you want me to help?!"

Chi Xiaochi responded to him for the thirty-sixth time, "Wait."

061 shivering with pain, "You're hurt! Soft tissue contusion ......"

Chi Xiaochi limped forward pressing down on her smothering injury, "I found it."

As he spoke, he listened sideways to the movement coming from behind him.

The ...... guys didn t catch up.

And Lou Sifan didn't follow.

Lou Sifan didn't even react when a punch to the bridge of his nose forced him to bend over with a stinging soreness that brought tears to his eyes.

He had planned to push the fat man away and then get behind them, find a place to hide, let them catch Dong Ge, and then walk through these alleys that he had long since familiarized himself with, find Zhangsheng, and put on a rescue play.

I didn't expect the fat man to catch him, and with a hefty smile, followed by a head-on punch.

Lou Sifan rubbed his obviously misplaced nose bone in pain, "What are you doing?"

No one responded to his question.

He was stomped to the ground as punches and kicks rained down on his body.

He was like a sandbag, lost in countless fists.

And just after the dozens of seconds-long siege, the punches and kicks disappeared again at the same time.

Everyone scattered, while a sandy-faced Lou Sifan, with blurry eyes, watched the fat man at the head of the group pick out a piece of lumber in a pile about the thickness of a large arm.

No, it's not right ......

There must be some mistake ......

Lou Sifan screamed, "You guys let go of me! I'm--"

Fatty didn't let him finish his introductions.

The stick hit Lou Sifan's knee with the sound of wind.

Lou Sifan couldn't even scream, his mouth was wide open and he went limp with a face full of dirt and tears.

He Zhangsheng, who had been following Dong Ge in the alley for a hundred meters, finally realized that Lou Sifan was not following him.

He stood still.

Only moments after turning around, a mournful scream ran over He Zhangsheng's nerves like the wheels of a truck.

He Zhangsheng opened his eyes wide.

The next second, he turned and was about to run back.

Dong Ge grabbed him by the arm, "What are you doing?"

He Zhangsheng anxious with a crying voice: "Lou brother! Lou did not come out!

Dong Ge was stunned, as if he had just realized it, took two deep breaths, firmly dragged He Zhangsheng's hand, bent down and picked up two bricks from a corner and slapped them into He Zhangsheng's hand, "Together."

061 was anxious, "What are you doing?"

Chi Xiaochi didn't respond, only moved his neck slightly.

061: "......" be damned!

The two young men were about to charge back with bricks, when a figure ran out from the slant, catching one with one hand: "Dong Ge, Zhangsheng!"

Dong Ge looked back and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Uncle Junior?"

The visitor was none other than Dong Feihong.

He looked at the large footprints on Dong Ge's body and said sharply, "What's wrong? Your mom told me to come pick you up, and I just arrived and heard-"

He Zhangsheng couldn't control the trembling: "Little uncle, something happened. Something happened to Lou."

Dong Feihong said, "I'll go look."

Dong Ge took his hand in his, and his demeanor tensed up, "There are many of them."

Dong Feihong puts it succinctly, "I've got everything."

He turned his gaze to He Zhangsheng, his always warm eyes knotted with a cold light, and ordered, "You two stay here, don't make any trouble, and call the police right away."

With that, he turned and drew his feet, running toward the place where the scream had been emitted.

Where Dong Ge could not see, Dong Feihong's eyes were completely gloomy.

He moved his neck bones slightly, making two crisp clicks of bone.

The two had just dialed the phone when they heard another heartbreaking howl from the same direction.

The caller, He Zhangsheng, and the operator were both shaking.

But fortunately, that voice didn't belong to Dong Feihong or Lou Sifan.

It was immediately followed by another bang.

The operator, hearing such a commotion and realizing the seriousness of the incident, asked for the exact location where the brawl was taking place and immediately notified the police to come out.

A total of seven screams came from the other end of the alley during the short minute of the call.

As soon as the phone was put down, He Zhangsheng could no longer hold back his worries, threw away the bricks and turned back to charge.

Dong Ge is a close second.

When the two of them reentered the alley, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

The seven people who had surrounded them all fell to the ground, each with an extremely obvious injury of broken bones, each wailing and crying in pain.

The fat man who had flaunted himself just a moment ago had now become a writhing mountain of flesh, fearfully dragging a broken leg as he moved backward.

And Dong Feihong approached him step by step, with a creepy coldness between his eyebrows.

The fat man reddened a pair of eyes, teeth grating non-stop, mouth pleading unceasingly: "Big brother, big brother, spare me. Spare me, I don't dare anymore ......"

Dong Feihong turned back to Dong Ge and said, "Dong Ge, are they bullying you?"

Hearing the name of this person, the fat man stared as if he had seen a ghost, and his chest expanded, the fat meat on his face trembled: "Dong Ge? Dong Ge ...... He's the one who's Dong Ge?"

Dong Feihong frowned, "What do you mean?"

Immediately, he tasted a hint of something wrong, "You guys came here specifically to find Dong Ge? Did you do it on purpose?"

Before the fat man could say anything, Dong Feihong swung his fist up, hitting the wall right next to his left ear.

Fatty clearly heard the sound of debris rolling down in his ears, and Dong Feihong's lowered voice: "Speak."

The fat man did not dare to imagine what light such a punch blast on his head would be, and immediately confessed it all with a cry, "It s big brother ...... It s Lou Sifan! Lou Sifan's brother asked us to come and beat Dong Ge, wanting one of his legs! Not we want to come ah! ......"

He Zhangsheng, who had just run to Lou Sifan's side and squatted down, ready to check his injuries, was stunned.

He stiffened and shifted his gaze to the fainting Lou Sifan, a slight tremor starting at his lips.

Dong Feihong realized something was wrong and pressed, "Then how could you have misidentified someone?"

An hour later.

In the infirmary of the Public Security Bureau, 061 asked Chi Xiaochi of Good Medicine the same question.

"How could they be mistaken?"

Chi Xiaochi carefully pulled her lingerie down, "Why wouldn't they."

061 Silence:"...... You knew this already?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "There are so many things that are broken. the location of the karaoke, the time of day you choose to sing karaoke, it's all wrong."

061 remembered.

Last night, Chi Xiaochi, after receiving a wechat from Lou Sifan about the KTV box he had booked, went along to check the exact location of that KTV.

Chi Xiaochi covered his stomach and slowed down for a while, "I've asked you to check Lou Sifan's family history many times. I've long been clear about what social connections he has."

That's true, but 061 didn't expect Chi Xiaochi to remember information that he had accessed a long time ago.

Chi Xiaochi added, "These people followed us yesterday."

061 said, "...... How did you find out?" Even he didn't find out.

Chi Xiaochi said, "I'm a star."

061: "...... Hmm?"

Chi Xiaochi says, "I can go out and throw out the garbage and have six or seven paparazzi following me."

061: "......" got it.

"Sensing something was wrong, I started to think about it." Chi Xiaochi said, "Given Lou Sifan's character, he couldn't have done it himself, nor could he have arranged for someone familiar with him to do it, lest he be implicated. Since these people were unfamiliar with us, there was inevitably a gap in perception."

He rubbed his injury and asked slowly and rhetorically, "Let me ask you, Mr. Six, if you are unfamiliar with a person, what is the best way to recognize them."

...... certainly characterizes it.

061 dawned on me, "So, you went to get your hair cut yesterday ......"

Chi Xiaochi nodded slightly, "After the biggest feature is eliminated, another one has to be changed."

With that, he stood up, walked over to the back of the chair, and picked up the jacket that was resting on it.

--That's a reversible jacket.

The inside was a light blue color, while the outwardly turned white side had a dark footprint imprinted on it.

Chi Xiaochi pulls her jacket into her hand and says lightly, "Today, when Lou Sifan came into the house, I picked out what I was going to wear out of the house, following the color of his clothes."

061 sucked in a cold breath.

He remembered that Lou Sifan was wearing a dark blue jacket today.

On its own, dark blue is certainly extremely distinguishable from light blue, but one's vision can be severely impaired under dim streetlights.

And at the karaoke bar, Chi Xiaochi took his jacket off and put it back on in a natural motion, flipping the white side out and tucking his ducktail hat into his carry-on bag.

In the eyes of the group of road blocking punks, all three were not wearing hats and had lost their long hair as a point of reference, so one was wearing a conspicuous red, one was wearing a conspicuous white, and the remaining one was wearing a blue color, so who cares if it was a darker blue or a lighter blue.

At this point in the conversation, 061 still couldn't help but ask one more question, "What if he didn't intend to do anything. What if he just wants to listen to He Zhangsheng and repair your relationship?"

Chi Xiaochi winks and asks rhetorically, "And would I lose anything by cutting my hair and changing my clothes?"

061: "......"

Chi Xiaochi turned around and looked out the glass window.

In the bright hallway light, He Zhangsheng sits alone on a plastic bench, his shadow cast long. He stares at the floor with his head in his hands, wondering what he is thinking.

Chi Xiaochi whispered, "The people with the most to lose, are out there."

061 thought, the people with the most to lose are clearly in the hospital.

At this moment, Dong Feihong is sitting in the interrogation room.

The injury report has just come in, and the officer in charge of the investigation can't hide his surprise: "Only one injury?"

The man who sent the report also tsked, "There was only one on each person, but every one of them was a fracture wound. The blows were steady and accurate."

The legal definition of courage or self-defense is to stop a crisis in time, and to beat or even kill or injure an opponent after he or she has lost the ability to resist is an over-defense.

And such a ruthless one-two punch, no one can say that the person who hit the person is over-defense, but can only be regarded as a righteous act of bravery.

The officer and his companion walked back into the interrogation room, sat down across from Dong Feihong, and scrutinized Dong Feihong's face.

Such a well-mannered man ......

After the usual questions about name age and sex, he asked, "Your occupation?"

Dong Feihong replied politely, "Cartoonist."
