Replace the evil way

He Wei sat by the bay window with Stephen in his arms, and made an overseas call to He Lu.

He Lu was taking a shower, answered the phone quickly, with foam in his mouth: "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Are you abroad now?"

"Well, in Italy."

"When are you coming back?"

He Lu spat out the foam and rinsed his mouth, turned on the faucet to wash his face clean, opened the calendar to count the days, and replied: "It will probably be the end of April, what's wrong?"

"...It's nothing." He Wei made an excuse, "I went home two days ago, and my mother was sick at home, saying that you were abroad."

"Oh, I often make video calls with her! Uncle Qin who was concerned about her health and even asked specifically, ended up with a small cold. I asked her to drink more hot water, and was scolded for being heartless. Menopausal women are really hard to serve... ..."

The two brothers chatted for a while, and after hanging up the phone, He Wei stared out the window in thought.Lian Jingyuan came out of the bathroom, wiped his hair, and sat by the bay window: "What are you thinking about?"

"He Lu is not in China, and he will come back at the end of the month." He Wei smiled faintly, "In my memory, he visited my house after I moved. Please help me and invite you to the observatory to watch the meteor shower."

With Lian Jingyuan's IQ, he easily understood what he meant, and he put his hand on He Wei's shoulder: "Then according to what you have experienced, 'He Lu' meets 'you' and asks 'you' to make an appointment. Me. If you are worried about Murphy's Law, wait for He Lu to come back and ask him in my name to make the matter of the observatory a reality, so that you won't be in trouble."

He Wei smiled at Lian Jingyuan: "I was wondering if we did the same thing in the last cycle, so we passed on the information on June 6."

"Maybe." Lian Jingyuan smiled gently, and reached out to stroke He Wei's hair, "Don't think too much, some things may require you to deliberately create, and some things just go with the flow."

Stephen moved from He Wei's lap to the side of his master, pressed his two front paws on his thigh to step on the milk, and raised his head, his blue eyes were watery and full of expectation.Lian Jingyuan bowed his head, Stephen touched his cheek with his nose, curled up contentedly and closed his eyes.

"So clingy to you, no wonder you call him a 'little lover'. By the way," He Wei suddenly thought of a question, "Do you know that my brother treats you..."

Lian Jingyuan smiled lightly: "I know, but Ah Lu and I are friends, and this will not change."

Through his smile, He Wei gradually understood that his brother's secret love for so many years was completely useless.Lian Jingyuan is such a person, gentle as jade, but the sense of alienation expressed in his eyes cannot deceive people. He said that if he and He Lu are friends, they will only be friends, and there is no possibility of development.

"Computer password?" He Wei blurted out simply.

"What's wrong with the password?" Lian Jingyuan looked at He Lu's expression and suddenly realized, "Oh...you thought it was your birthday? No, the 24th of the first month of the lunar calendar is my mother's birthday, and I just realized that this number collides with your birthday gone."

For some reason, He Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Lian Jingyuan smiled so much that his brows and eyes curled up, and he wrapped his index finger around He Wei's soft hair: "Why are you so surprised? You are 'frigid' and have no feelings for men and women. If I like you, I'm afraid you will die of old age." Can't find it."

"..." He Wei blocked his hand, but luckily he didn't tell him about Cheng Zesheng, otherwise Lian Jingyuan would be so shocked that his eyes would drop.

Lian Jingyuan rested his chin and tilted his head to look at him: "But I'm also curious, what kind of person do you like?"

He Wei lowered his eyes, and slightly raised the corners of his lips: "It should make me feel emotional involuntarily."

He Wei went back home again, but Ye Lanlan was not at home. Uncle Qin said that Madam's cold has long since healed up, but it was just a rare excuse to rest at home for a few more days.

"That's good," He Wei pointed upstairs, "Go ahead, I'll go find something."

Uncle Qin rubbed his hands, hesitated for a long time before asking tentatively: "Master, you always come back recently, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, I just moved to a new house, and I want to bring some old things with me."

Uncle Qin didn't ask any more questions, but reminded: "Master, I saw the report that a homicide occurred in Fulong Mountain. You have to be careful on the mountain. It's very dark and unclean, and it's easy for ghosts to hit the wall."

He Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What the hell hit the wall, you got lost in the mountains, right? I know, I know, I must pay attention to safety."

He went upstairs to He Lu's room to find a suit, opened the drawer and picked out a watch, recalling He Lu's attire at that time, it seemed that there was a sterling silver keyhole necklace around his neck.He Wei opened the cabinet where the jewelry was stored, searched for a long time, and finally found the necklace in a dark blue velvet box.

It is not easy to be a refined and elegant man.

After leaving home, He Wei bought a phone card at a phone booth on the side of the road, which was anonymous and could be thrown away whenever he needed it.

In the evening, He Wei stood in front of the mirror, arranging the cuff buttons of his suit.His bangs were raked back, leaving only a few strands unfastened across his forehead, and his shirt collar was two pieces loose, just enough to reveal the simple pendant of his keyhole necklace.Coupled with the little mole added under the corner of the eye, after the eyebrows and eyes are calmed down, it can almost perfectly replace He Lu.

Lian Jingyuan stood at the door with arms folded, and smiled: "It's really uncomfortable for you to become like this."

"You will get used to it if you see me as Ah Lu."

Lian Jingyuan rubbed his chin and nodded slowly, really, the sense of disobedience disappeared instantly after imagining He Lu.

After confirming that there is no problem with cross-dressing, He Wei took off his suit and hung it up. Lian Jingyuan asked curiously, "I'm going to see him in a few days, will you be nervous?"

He Wei nodded, yes, but that was also him, he knew and was the most familiar, so there was no need to worry.

"I'm going to another place for a seminar tomorrow, and I'll probably be back on Friday night." Lian Jingyuan walked in, putting his hands on He Wei's shoulders, "I hope everything goes well for you."

"He Lu" in the mirror smiled slightly and made a gesture.

"no problem."

Coming to the future domain again, He Wei looked at his watch and leaned against the wall to wait for the passage of time.Finally, there was a sound of gentle footsteps gradually approaching, He Wei took a deep breath, raised his head, and met his gaze just in time.In order to relieve the tension in his heart, he rubbed his neck and switched his tone to He Lu's state:

"Brother, why did you come back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Opening the door of apartment 404, a familiar scene came into view.There are memories of him and Cheng Zesheng everywhere here, and now Cheng Zesheng is still alive, although he can't see him, he can easily feel the breath of his life here.

"Sit for a while."

Seeing him go to the kitchen to pour water, and the phone was on the coffee table, He Wei quickly picked it up, quickly unlocked it, edited He Lu's address book card, and added a series of new numbers.

Fortunately, I usually answer the phone mainly by looking at the name, and I don't pay much attention to the number below, which has become a convenient loophole.

When He Wei came out with a glass of water, the "brother" sat there quietly, not noticing that the mobile phone on the table had been tampered with.

The following conversations were not much different from what I remembered. He Wei's acting skills were not up to par, but he knew his younger brother too well, and he learned He Lu's tone and demeanor perfectly.He knew that Cheng Zesheng was staying at his home today and would not come back to the apartment, so he felt a little regretful.Living under the same roof, I felt that there was an extra ghost in the way, but now I realized that the only extravagant wish in my heart was to see an extra note out of thin air.

The conversation ended smoothly, and He Wei went to the entrance to change his shoes, when he was suddenly stopped: "Ah Lu, do you know Cheng Zesheng?"

He Wei made out a tone as relaxed and casual as possible: "I know you, we have cooperated before."

"How is the relationship?"

"It's okay, ordinary friend." He Wei raised his head and looked at him without fear, "I don't remember if you don't mention it. Wasn't he killed a while ago? Has the murderer been caught?"

Too familiar face, too familiar eyes, too clear expression.

The two people with the same blood flowing in their bodies and completely consistent from the inside to the outside are staring at each other at this moment, one is calm and generous, the other is vigilant, as if they are engaged in a silent game.

Finally, the person opposite him slowly shook his head: "Not yet."

With the guard removed from his eyes, He Wei knew that he would be able to hide it, just like he was deceived before, believing that the man in front of him was his own brother.

After arriving home, Lian Jingyuan had just come back and was feeding Stephen the cat strips, when he saw He Wei coming in, he asked, "How is it?"

He Wei took off his suit jacket, reached into his short hair to grab a handful, and said in a relaxed tone, "Need to ask?"

Lian Jingyuan laughed out loud, beckoned him over, and handed him the cat strip.He Wei squatted down and continued to feed Stephen. Lian Jingyuan went to pour a glass of water. The more he thought about it, the more he felt amused: "I really didn't expect that no one can escape the sharp eyes of Police Officer He, but they are just fooled by me. Really Everyone's worst enemy is themselves."

"I'll be nervous. When I saw him, my heart beat a lot faster than usual." He Wei looked up, "After you finish class tomorrow, he will come to you and ask some questions."

"Asked me what?"

"As for the parallel universe, you can say whatever you want without thinking too much about it."

Lian Jingyuan nodded, understood, fortunately he had experienced He Wei's cross-travel event in advance, otherwise he would definitely take it as an unrealizable joke when he heard that someone had experienced the "parallel universe".

Early on Saturday morning, He Wei sent Stephen to the pet shop, and Lian Jingyuan would pick him up in the afternoon.He went to Fu Sheng Kam Dragon Park, opened the door of the basement, and Cheng Zhenqing was playing mobile games in the basement, without raising his eyelids: "Come on, you're going to spend a day with me today, remember to pay for the food .”

"..." He Wei didn't bother to talk to him, and sat down on a stool by himself.Although he is not a fugitive, his current situation is similar to that of a fugitive. He can't see the light, and he can still experience the life of hiding in Tibet in his lifetime.

"Will you go out to buy food later or should I go out to buy food?" Cheng Zhenqing asked.

"you."

"...Brother, I am wanted anyway, can you be more considerate to the fugitive?"

He Wei sneered: "Anyway, you are going to be photographed, so it's not for nothing."

Cheng Zhenqing sat up from the reclining chair and looked at him seriously: "This is another scapegoat I have borne for you. Let me tell you, in fact, you are the one who was photographed at the intersection."

"...It's me?" He Wei frowned, carefully recalling the details of the case.The clothes he and Cheng Zhenqing wore were indeed similar in color, and their height and weight were about the same. It was normal for him to be mistaken in surveillance.But He Wei glanced at the black coat hanging on the side, sneered again, turned around and ignored him.

In the monitoring screen at the intersection at that time, the windbreaker had buttons on the shoulders, but He Wei didn't. Who could it be if it wasn't Cheng Zhenqing?

Cheng Zhenqing stroked his chin, tut tut and shook his head: "You are really not funny, you can't be fooled every time. Why is my brother so hard to think about it, and found a boring man like you."

"Well, you are more interesting, you go and buy food."

Cheng Zhenqing stood up and put on his coat: "Bring onion and pork liver for you? I know you are allergic to mushrooms, eggplants, seafood, mutton, and goose. The young master is so poor that he can't eat anything." , very difficult to serve."

"Don't eat onions," He Wei glanced at him, "I'm allergic."

"..." Cheng Zhenqing wanted to applaud himself, what about onion and pork liver, wouldn't it be better to give him a vegetable tofu?

He Wei occupied the reclining chair and fell down comfortably. Cheng Zhenqing waved his hand at the door of the basement, and said earnestly, "I have the key, so don't bother anyone who knocks, and you can't open the door to strangers."

The tone seemed to be that He Wei was not in his 30s but more than 30 months old.

"……get out."
