Deep in

"Zhou Qiluo, 24 years old, a celebrity, disappeared in a winery outside the city three days ago. There was no sign of struggle or fighting, a surgical blade left behind, and no fingerprints."

"Li Zeyan, 29 years old, the president of Sinovel, disappeared in the parking lot near his home between 07:30 and [-]:[-] yesterday afternoon. There were still no traces of struggle and fighting at the scene, but a surgical blade of the same size was left without fingerprints. .”

"Referring to the above, the modus operandi is exactly the same. It is tentatively speculated that the four cases are the same suspect. The report is over."

Bai Qi sat by the window in the conference room and listened quietly. The successive disappearances within a few days made the entire Third Brigade extremely busy. The suspect did not leave any fingerprints at the scene, and there was no connection between the victims. There was no connection at all, and even the surveillance video at the time of the incident was deliberately destroyed, all of which seemed to be the murderer's deliberate fooling and declaring war.

"If I catch who did it, I'll kill him first!" Police Officer Wang slammed the table and said angrily.

Bai Qi patted him on the shoulder: "Since the same person committed the crime, the most urgent thing to do is to find the common ground of the case. Why did the murderer kidnap young men? This is actually very suspicious."

The police officers present nodded one after another, and the policewoman sitting in the corner thought for a while, then suddenly said: "By the way, apart from that restaurant, I also found one thing in common, these victims They're all orphans."

Bai Qi froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at her suspiciously.

"The victim of the first case was only 20 years old and was a worker at a construction site. When I investigated his information, I found that the guardian column was blank, so I paid special attention to it. Later, I found out that he was an orphan, and the others also. …”

"Which orphanage?" Bai Qi lowered his head and asked aloud, the light outside the window cast a faint silhouette on his three-dimensional facial features, which looked a bit gloomy.

The policewoman was choked for a while, and she hesitated for a long time before she said, "It seems to be called...Sunshine Orphanage."

"According to this statement, the target of the suspect is a young man in his 20s to 30s in the Sunshine Orphanage, with a thin physique... Maybe..."

Police Officer Wang's words were still stuck in his throat, but he was interrupted by Bai Qi's sudden movement of standing up. He picked up the coat that was on the chair, his face was livid: "I'll go home."

"..."

He originally planned to take a nearby taxi, but as soon as he got out of the police station, he realized that something was wrong, so he simply walked straight along the green belts on both sides of the road.

It was already 03:30 in the afternoon, and it was the peak time for white-collar workers to get off work. The crowd was bustling and endless. He walked to the signboard of a certain bus stop and squatted down to tie his shoelaces. The corner of his eyes swept back.

Sure enough, someone was following him.

Bai Qi stood up, lightly patted the floating ash on his hands, and continued to walk forward.

Three o'clock in the afternoon in October should have been a bright day, but today's weather was not so good. There was a light rain in the early morning, and the light gray fog enveloped Lianyu City. The street lights were not turned on. Cities are unpredictable.

Due to the absence of sunlight, Bai Qi couldn't judge how many people were following him based on the shadows. He could only use his keen intuition to distinguish the positions of these people. He first walked towards the direction of the crowd, and then turned a few A deep alley, trying to get rid of the people behind.

And not far ahead happened to be a corner leading to the vegetable market, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, but at the same moment he stepped out, someone suddenly stretched out an arm behind him, and it was right on his shoulder. on the shoulders.

Bai Qi quickly turned around to dodge, and pressed the person against the concrete wall with his backhand. When he approached the person, he called out in a panic: "Bai Qi."

His voice is very unique and refreshing, and it resembles Xu Mo very much. Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had an auditory hallucination, but before he recovered, the man said again: "It's me, Xu Mo .”

Bai Qi quickly let go of the hand that was holding down his neck, turned him over and looked at him: "Why are you here?"

"I was shopping for vegetables, and then I saw you sneaking around here." Xu Mo shook his numb arms, and shook the plastic shopping bag in his hand towards him. It really contained two Chinese cabbage, a few Mushrooms and a piece of pork.

The scene in his sight made Bai Qi a little unresponsive. You must know that Xu Mo has never been a person who can cook. He still remembers that he drank too much wine at a party with his friends but couldn't spit it out, and lay on the bed tossing and turning , Later, Xu Mo cooked a bowl of red bean porridge that was so effective that he vomited on the spot after taking a sip, and he didn't even have time to go to the toilet.

Bai Qi felt that he couldn't keep up with his brain circuit, so he simply asked directly, "Do you want to cook?"

Xu Mo looked at him coldly, with the sharpness of skinning and cramping: "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

"what?"

"Today is our birthday..."

When Bai Qi met Xu Mo for the first time in the Sunshine Orphanage ten years ago, he didn't know that the future intersection of the two would be like a creeper spreading wantonly in midsummer, constantly fettering and maintaining a relationship.

After his parents died in a car accident, he didn't come out of the shadows for a long time. The originally lively and active child became taciturn, neither talking to the teacher nor talking to other children.

Xu Mo was the first person he was willing to communicate with, and the reason is actually very superficial, just because... he is good-looking.

He remembered that he noticed Xu Mo on a certain rainy afternoon. At that time, the group of children hurried towards the dormitory building in the rain after the classroom finished their lessons. Only Xu Mo quietly took advantage of no one's attention. Slipped to the backyard and hugged the wild cat that was drenched in the rain under the shade of the tree.

The young Bai Qi had a panoramic view of this scene. He didn't know how he looked at this matter, and he didn't think that Xu Mo was kind like a little angel, but that day, this person squatted on the ground, A section of white and tender skin was exposed on the calf, and the bright smile on his face was engraved in his heart.

It's as if in this world, there will never be such a beautiful rainy day again.

But when he finally plucked up the courage to say hello to Xu Mo, this seemingly gentle and lovely boy ignored him for two years, until the two met again...

After recovering from the complicated thoughts, I saw Xu Mo standing in the kitchen with a large bucket of oil in his hand and carefully pouring it into the pot. Bai Qi was amused.

When the two returned home 10 minutes ago, Xu Mo immediately called him into the living room for a conversation. He briefly put forward his idea of ​​wanting to cook with his own hands, and reminded him not to interfere.

The fact that a great scientist Xu voluntarily washes his hands to make soup is more shocking than the sun coming out from the west. For the sake of his own life, Bai Qi was a little hesitant at first, but Xu Mo is rarely interested in something. Once, he really couldn't bear to refuse, he could only watch this man scrambling in the kitchen, killing a fish was as tragic as dealing with an enemy of the bourgeoisie!

Finally, Xu Mo finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Hey, can we stop eating fish?"

Bai Qi sat on the sofa and nodded repeatedly, holding back his laughter very hard.

After two full hours passed, Xu Mo came out of the kitchen with a dark face to prepare the table.He wore a half black apron around his waist, and every moment he raised his hands, he would shrink to outline a perfect line.

Bai Qi stared at it for a while, and felt that he would not be hungry immediately. How could this be cooking?It is clear that it is my wife who is playing the rhythm of a good wife's temptation with me!He leaned over with a smile, hugged Xu Moyu who was standing in front of the refrigerator from behind, and said earnestly, "Honey, I understand what you mean. A spring night is worth a thousand dollars. Let's quickly enter the bridal chamber!"

Xu Mo didn't turn his head back, and asked blankly, "What do you understand?"

"Oh, how embarrassing it is to say it directly." Bai Qi rubbed his head on his shoulder, while twisting his tall body, trying to be coquettish.

It may be that this series of performances is so unbelievable. Xu Mo was slightly stunned at first, then turned around to face him squarely, his face was very calm, and there was no emotion in his tone: "You know how embarrassing these three are?" How do you write the words?"

"I know." Someone was confused.

"Oh, I thought you didn't know." After Xu Mo finished speaking, he gently pushed him away and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Bai Qi was stunned for a long time, and it took him a long time to realize that this person disliked his thick skin.

Although Xu Mo seldom swears, he has a high degree of education and a wide range of knowledge, and there are many incidents of cursing around corners, but for some reason, Bai Qi suddenly feels a little wronged.

He pouted, and sat at the dining table and muttered in a low voice: "Then I have a thick skin, isn't it because I like you? Why don't I know how to be shy?"

Xu Mo put down a plate of dark things, seeing his aggrieved face, couldn't help but smile: "What are you talking about?"

Bai Qi casually glanced at the plate, and rarely did not answer, because he was completely stunned by the sight that greeted him!There were six dishes on the dining table, five of which had already been mushy. The green onion was as black as coal, and it was impossible to tell what the ingredients were.

Four big words flashed in his mind instantly: Murder my husband!

"Baby... Belle, it's been hard work, but you see we are celebrating our birthday today, why don't... my husband take you out to eat?"

"Don't be so extravagant and wasteful. The meal is ready, so let's eat at home." Xu Mo took off his apron, waved his bony hands on the dark dishes on the table, and said the words sincerely and firmly: "Okay Yes, let's eat."

Bai Qi really didn't want to dampen his revolutionary enthusiasm, and he couldn't really use these foods to harm himself, but Xu Mo still looked at him with that kind of expectant eyes. This is a dilemma that is neither advancing nor retreating. Those who were persecuted were on the verge of tears!

After stretching out the chopsticks in his hand and then pulling them back again and again for a long time, Xu Mo patted the table, looking a little sullen: "If you don't want to eat, you don't eat. It's a pity that I have been doing these exercises for several days."

Bai Qi didn't refute, just lowered his head listlessly, but suddenly remembered Xu Mo's practice of cutting meat that night. At that time, he was injured because of cutting meat, and he scolded him. It was only when I got in touch that I realized that these were all prepared for myself.

Police officer Xiaobai instantly became energetic, and felt that his heart was blooming. He raised his head happily to confirm: "Honey, you have been practicing for these for several days? What a blessing! Now I understand, Then don't dawdle, the night is too short, and it's not too late!"

Until Bai Qi dragged him to the big bed in the bedroom and chewed it left and right, inside and out, Xu Mo didn't know, what did this person understand? !

Bai Qi hugged him tightly with his arms, buried his head in his neck and breathed heavily, suddenly his whole body stopped, only his body trembling slightly, he sucked his nose and opened his mouth again At that time, the voice was a little strange, as if it was blocked by some kind of hard lump: "Do you think I'm pretty bad?"

Xu Mo didn't speak, and the room fell into an eerie silence, which was so abrupt, as if a blank frame suddenly appeared in a movie.

"If one day you can get rid of me, will you leave without hesitation?"

Really, it's a bit uncool, Bai Qi thought secretly in his heart.

He originally wanted to ask more domineeringly and unreasonably. In this way, no matter what answer Xu Mo gave, he could tell that person, you are mine, and you will never want to get rid of me in this life to live a happy life. But when it was time to ask, he realized the difficulty of the matter, because he cared too much about the answer to this question.

Those who care about go crazy, go crazy.

Xu Mo sighed slightly, stretched out his hand to stroke his white hair, his expression could not be seen clearly in the slightly dark room, but the voice was very gentle and mixed with a little helplessness, as if coaxing: "You Why are there so many questions?"

He leaned over and kissed Bai Qi gently on the forehead.

The window of the bedroom was half open, and the evening wind blew through the curtain through the gap, gentle and lingering, as if it was a farewell.
