It was past five o'clock in the evening when Xu Cheng sent Xu Fu and Wang Cuihe to his own apartment and returned.

When they came back, Ye Changsheng and He Jiuzhong had already come out and stayed in the living room. Ye Changsheng was holding a notebook, typing on the keyboard as if he was searching for something.

Seeing Xu Cheng came back, Ye Changsheng, who was buried in the computer screen, raised his eyes and looked over there, and said with a smile: "Officer Xu arranged for Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu? "

Xu Cheng nodded, looking a little tired: "My mother told me to give him regular reports on the progress of the situation, so it took a while."

Walking inside again, I suddenly smelled a tempting aroma of food in my nose. I glanced sideways at the dining table, and found that the table was filled with a bunch of hot takeaways at some point.

Ye Changsheng closed the laptop and put it aside, and walked over with He Jiuzhong: "Officer Xu hasn't eaten yet, right? There are too many takeaway orders, do you want to eat some together?"

Xu Cheng subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after all, he hadn't eaten for a whole day, and he was tired and exhausted at the moment, and when he was hooked by the aroma of those foods, he couldn't hold back anymore. After hesitating for a while, he still nodded agreed.

The three of them divided into two sides and sat down at the table facing each other. He Jiuzhong, who happened to be sitting opposite Xu Cheng, raised his eyes slightly, and met the gaze of the other head looking this way.

It was just a casual glance, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and even his expression was dull, but the moment Xu Cheng collided with that gaze, a subconscious feeling similar to fear and panic arose. reaction.

From the first time he saw He Jiuzhong, he knew instinctively that this person's background might be a little weird.He had seen the horrifying aura in some felons with several murders in his hands, but compared to them, the bloody aura coming from his bones was even more calm and wild. Arrogant.

But such a person can go in and out together with a person of Ye Changsheng's identity, with an intimate posture, and I don't know what the situation is.

He subconsciously moved his gaze away, thinking about things in a mess in his head, and didn't dare to show it too much on his face. Holding his share of rice, he lowered his head and quickly picked it up.

Ye Changsheng, who was sitting diagonally across from Xu Cheng, looked at the slightly changed face on the other side, and cast a sideways glance at He Jiuzhong with some teasing, but the other side had a calm and indifferent face, and took Ye Changsheng's favorite from his own bowl. The food was taken to his side.

Ye Changsheng's lips curled up a little more, but he didn't make a sound, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat quietly.

At the end of the meal, Ye Changsheng suddenly broke the continuous silence: "What kind of person is Officer Xu's younger brother?"

Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the other end would suddenly ask this.He swallowed the food in his mouth, thought for a while and said: "I am 15 years older than my brother. I went to other places to study in college before he went to kindergarten, and then I went to the army to stay for a few years. , After returning from the army to finish college and then returning to City X, he has almost finished elementary school."

"Probably because of this, although it is okay to have more contact with our two brothers in the next few years, he has not been very close to me. Regarding many things, I also sent photos from my parents, I just learned about the letters bit by bit." He recalled, "Xiaochi has been a very good child since he was a child. Although he is spoiled by his family and may be a little willful at times, he has never provoked him since he was a child. What's wrong."

"Study is also very good. As I said, it is different from someone like me who is not born with learning nerves. His academic performance has been very good since he was a child. From elementary school to middle school, he is in the top ten in every exam." Xu When Cheng said this, a little pride appeared on his face, "Every time my parents mentioned Xiaochi to me, they said that he would go to T University in the future."

Ye Changsheng nodded and said, "So when he said he wanted to learn photography, Police Officer Xu's parents started to strongly oppose it?"

Thinking of this, Xu Cheng sighed slightly: "But this thing happened too suddenly." He said, "Xiaochi has never shown any special preference for anything, and it turned out that half a year before the college entrance examination, he suddenly said If you want to do this, let alone my parents, even I am at a loss."

Ye Changsheng listened to Xu Cheng's words, and stretched out his hand thoughtfully to touch his chin.

Several people dispersed after eating and did other things for a while. He Jiuzhong watched Ye Changsheng log into the private forum called "Yin Yang Jie", glanced at him and asked, "Who are still checking that photo?" thing?"

Ye Changsheng let out a "huh": "Someone replied that they have seen similar photocopies, but no one has seen the original version." He glanced at He Jiuzhong and said with a smile, "So, if we meet this time What a guy, then we are considered lucky.”

He Jiuzhong looked Ye Changsheng up and down, nodded and said, "Well, you have always been very lucky in this regard."

Ye Changsheng pretended that he didn't understand He Jiuzhong's teasing, and looked at him confidently: "That's it."

He Jiu raised his lips, stretched out his hand to hug him, rested his chin on his shoulder loosely, and browsed the webpage on the computer together with the other end.

After looking around for a long time, Ye Changsheng, who felt that he had no clues to continue searching, simply logged out of the forum.Seeing that it was still early, he happily opened a video and chose to kill time with He Jiuzhong.

The video was quite interesting. Ye Changsheng was sitting in the living room hugging the computer and laughing. However, just after 45:[-] in the living room, he seemed to feel something, and his brows suddenly frowned.

The originally crouched body gradually sat up straight, closed the computer and put it aside, then stood up from the sofa and walked straight to Xu Chi's door.

After standing quietly for a while, he turned his head and exchanged glances with He Jiuzhong who was behind him, then went to another room and called Xu Cheng who was sleeping in it.

The sleep on the other end was so light that Ye Changsheng almost woke up as soon as they entered the room.Jumping off the bed, he glanced at the time, then looked at the two people over there and asked with a slightly tense voice: "Is this... already started?"

Ye Changsheng nodded, turned around and said, "Let's go."

Xu Cheng covered his face with his hands and rubbed vigorously twice, and only after feeling completely awake did he quickly follow.

Pushing open the door of Xu Chi's room, it was dark inside because the lights were not turned on.

There is a vague peach blossom fragrance floating in the air, not as rich as sweet-scented osmanthus, but faint, with a faint sweetness.Xu Cheng subconsciously wanted to fumble to turn on the light, but he was stopped by the other end just as he was halfway through.

"Hush, don't move." Ye Changsheng said in a low voice, tilting his head to Xu Chi's side, "Look."

The peach wood box that they put on the bedside during the day was inexplicably held in Xu Chi's arms again.

Because the forehead on the other side was still controlled by Ye Changsheng's sticking talisman paper, it was impossible for him to get up and take the box back. The only explanation was that the box flew back into his arms by himself.

Xu Cheng opened his eyes wide and looked over there.

Obviously the room was very dark because there was no light, but the box seemed to have a light pink light, so that people could see clearly in the dark.

After a faint "click", the box that was fastened was slightly opened a gap, and from the box, a light pink smoke slowly floated out, and at the same time, the fragrance of peach blossoms in the whole room became even stronger. thickened.

The sweet fragrance seemed to have a small hook. After being inhaled from the nose, it quickly flowed along the limbs and bones, making people feel a little dazed.

As time went on, the gaps in that box grew wider, and pink smoke billowed out of the box, converging into a sticky dark pink.The outline of the entire room was blurred by this kind of deep powder, and the air seemed to suddenly become thicker, and the weight of the thick, semi-solid smoke seemed to be felt when pressed against the body.

Ye Changsheng glanced sideways at Xu Cheng and asked, "Have you really decided to go with us? It's too late to regret it now."

Xu Cheng withdrew his gaze from the box, he stretched out his hand to hold the smoke with the mysterious fragrance of peach blossoms, and then slowly spread his hand away.His eyes trembled slightly, then he looked up at Ye Changsheng and nodded firmly: "I'm going."

Seeing Xu Cheng's appearance, Ye Changsheng sighed slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what it looks like inside, and I won't be responsible if anything happens."

After being reminded so many times, it seemed that the other end still did not hesitate to refuse. Finally, the other end stopped asking, took a translucent thread and tied a knot on his little finger, and then patted him. The shoulder: "Okay, if you want to come, come with me...but remember to follow closely and don't get separated."

As he said that, he and He Jiuzhong walked towards the peach-pink smoke together.

Xu Cheng looked down at the silk thread tied around his little finger.It was obviously translucent, but after wrapping around his fingers, it turned into a strange golden color.He stretched out his hand to twist the end of the twisted silk thread, only to feel that although it looked very thin, it felt very tough when he touched it.

Let go, and then didn't care anymore.Looking up at the smog that was so thick that the visibility of the line of sight was less than one meter, he frowned, and hurried forward a few steps, following the two of them.

And at the moment when the eleven o'clock bell rang, the peach wood box held in Xu Chi's arms shook slightly, and then there was another "click", and the opened box was locked again.

The pink smoke in the whole room dissipated.In the darkness, there was silence everywhere, only a hint of peach blossom fragrance still lingering in the air, which seemed to prove what happened just now.

It was getting dark.
