The villain always wants to be my little brother

It was already noon when the two came out of the police station after taking notes.

The sun was hanging high, and the autumn sun shone brightly on the person. It was warm, Lin Yanjin exhaled, and finally felt a sense of steadfastness in returning to the world.

The car was parked under the shade of a tree. Lu Yuan leaned against the car door to smoke, took a deep puff, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. He smashed the cigarette butt into the trash can on the side of the road, clapped his hands, opened the car door, and said: " boarding."

The two sat in the narrow car, Lu Yuan put his hands on the steering wheel and didn't start the car.The car window was slowly raised to isolate the hustle and bustle outside the car from the inside of the car. Lu Yuan said solemnly, "Tell me about your dream."

Lin Yanjin wanted to say that it wasn't a dream, but swallowed the words again, and said the matter quickly.

Lu Yuan's brows gradually frowned, and after he finished speaking, his brows were tightly knit into a word: "Eating spirits? No."

Lin Yanjin asked: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan said, "If it was a spirit devourer, Zhao Yan wouldn't be able to live till now."

Lin Yanjin said: "But you said he has another soul."

Lu Yuan said: "That's even more wrong. Evil things like spirit devouring insects can only be too little or too much. How could they leave a soul for him?"

Lin Yanjin was dumbfounded, Lu Yuan thought for a moment, started the car, and said, "Go to Chen Ling's house first."

Chen Ling's home is in Ping'an Community, the house left by her parents, which has been built for more than 20 years.Generally, in this kind of old community, most of the retired elderly are old neighbors who have lived together for decades, and the guards are almost useless.

Lu Yuan slowed down and swaggered in. The doorman raised his eyelids while holding the steaming bowl of rice, then lowered his head and continued eating.

Lu Yuan found a place to leave the car casually, got out of the car and walked to a group of old men and women chatting and playing cards.

Lin Yanjin asked him the address of Chen Ling's house after hearing his few words, and then came to take him to the innermost building.Lu Yuan walked and said, "Room 301, Unit [-], Building No. [-] in the innermost part. Chen Ling's working ability is good, and her usual salary plus bonuses, saved for a few years, is enough to buy a house in a high-end community. Living in this kind of place, it seems It did cost a lot of money to treat Zhao Yan's illness."

While talking, the two of them had already approached the innermost building of the community. The community was surrounded by towering high-rise buildings. The few buildings in front didn’t feel like there was anything there. When they came here, the sunlight was completely isolated behind them, lining the entire building. Lou also looked gloomy at noon.

As soon as he entered the building, Lin Yanjin couldn't help shivering. The corridor was cool and dark, revealing a damp and sticky smell.The two walked up the stairs, the sound of their footsteps was particularly obvious in the empty corridor, Lin Yanjin asked softly, "Is there no one living here?"

Lu Yuan said: "The aunt said that almost all the residents in this building have moved out, and only Chen Ling's family is left. Looking at the environment here, I can imagine that there are good choices. Who wants to live in this kind of place."

Lin Yanjin deeply agrees. This building is located in the innermost part of the community, and the right side of the front is surrounded by walls. The shadow of the building in front completely covers this building. In addition, there are a few old trees that have grown for an unknown number of years, with luxuriant branches. With not much light, the whole building looks more and more gloomy, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

While talking, the two had already walked to the door of 301. To their surprise, the door was slightly closed, and there were rustling sounds inside the door.

The two looked at each other, and Lu Yuan kicked the door in first, shouting loudly, "Who is it!"

On the dilapidated sofa, an old lady with gray temples was sitting, holding a photo frame and weeping.Lin Yanjin saw that in the photo frame were three members of Chen Ling's family and a group photo of two elderly people, one of whom was this old lady.

Seeing the two people coming in, the old lady wiped her tears, stood up tremblingly, and asked, "Who are you?"

Lu Yuan's face was reddish, his eyes wandered, obviously extremely embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lin Yanjin stepped forward to hold the old lady's hand, and said obediently, "You are Grandma Chen, right? We are colleagues in Sister Chen's company. We heard about her, so come to see if there is anything we can do to help." of."

Although the old lady was in grief, her mind was clear, and her eyes were dubious: "Colleague?"

Lin Yanjin pointed to Lu Yuan, and said, "We thought the house had been burglarized, so we kicked the door down. Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."

Lu Yuan nodded, took out a wad of money, and handed it to her: "This is a wish from the company."

The old lady waved her hand, crying: "Everyone is gone, what do you need money for? No, no, take it away."

Lin Yanjin took the money, stuffed it into the old lady's hand, and said, "Sister Chen is very popular, she is gone, you have to take good care of yourself."

The old lady wiped her tears with her skinny hands, and greeted them: "Sit down, I'll make tea for you."

Lin Yanjin said: "No need, just sit down and rest, we have something to do when we come back, there is a document from the company with Sister Chen, take a look..."

The old lady said: "This... I don't understand either, why don't you look for it yourself?"

Lu Yuan said: "Okay, let's look for it." After speaking, he gave Lin Yanjin a look, and Lin Yanjin understood, and the two looked carefully.

After searching for a while, they found nothing. The two hands were empty. The old lady asked, "Didn't find it? See if there is one in her bedroom."

The two looked at each other and went to Chen Ling's bedroom. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a painting hanging opposite the big bed. In the picture was a family of three enjoying an outing in the wild: Zhao Fengnian was laying tablecloths on the grass, and Chen Ling was laying out the tablecloths. The food, the little Zhao Yan watched seriously with his big eyes open beside them.

It was obviously a harmonious scene, but Lin Yanjin had a strange feeling.

Lu Yuan quickly searched around the room, but found nothing. Seeing Lin Yanjin staring at the photo, he casually asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yanjin looked at it for a long time and finally found the clue, and pointed to Zhao Fengnian's car in the picture with his index finger: "Look here."

Lu Yuan leaned over to take a look, and also noticed the clue: "There is a figure on the car window." In the photo, a shadow of a person was vaguely reflected on the car window, as if he was taking a picture.

Lin Yanjin nodded: "Yes, does it look like the woman from before?"

Lu Yuan took a closer look and said, "It's too small to see clearly."

Lin Yanjin slid her finger on Zhao Yan's body: "Look here again."

Lu Yuan frowned: "Spirit-eating insects."

Under the feet of Zhao Yan's young body, there are a few black lines hidden in the grass. If you don't pay attention, you can't see it at all, you will just think it is a grass stalk.

However, Lu Yuan's attention was quickly diverted, and he turned his head to stare at Lin Yanjin closely.

Lin Yanjin was puzzled, touched his face, and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Lu Yuan said, "How did you find out?"

It turned out that there was something on his face, Lin Yanjin put down his hands, and said strangely: "You can see it if you pay attention to it, but ordinary people usually don't notice it."

Lu Yuan pointed to the grass and the spirit-eating insects, and said, "Here, can you tell the difference?"

Lin Yanjin said casually: "It's obvious." After saying that, she realized it and turned to look at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked at him and said, "Congratulations, you can see colors now."

Lin Yanjin subconsciously said "Huh?" and said in a daze, "Is this the color?"

Seeing his blank look, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a soft and subdued part of his heart. He rubbed his head and said, "I'll find some children's coloring book for you later on."

Lin Yanjin dodged his hand angrily, and said, "Thank you. Let's get down to business first."

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand, regretting the feeling of soft hair just now.The two searched around again, but found nothing. Lin Yanjin said: "It turns out that the paper man has been following them so early."

Lu Yuan said: "It seems that they took the opportunity to get close by helping them take pictures, planted spirit-eating insects on Zhao Yan, and then seduced Zhao Fengnian to get Zhao Yan's birth date, and slowly exhausted it."

Lin Yanjin asked: "Isn't the spirit-eating insect sucking up the soul as soon as it touches a person?"

"In theory," Lu Yuan said, "actually it is not easy to raise spirit devouring insects, and it is easy to be backbited. Look at that woman, at this time, it is obvious that she has not yet cultivated to the point where she can retract freely, so she can only walk Step planning. When you meet her, she is already very powerful. Look around her, what is missing—”

Lin Yanjin reacted immediately: "Puppet doll."

"That's right." Lu Yuan folded his hands on his chest, rubbed his chin with his fingers, and said, "A puppet made its own puppet doll, how did it do it?"

Lin Yanjin thought for a while, and said, "Essence and blood?" Then she categorically denied it: "No, when I saw Zhao Fengnian, he was clearly conscious and not confused at all."

Lu Yuan raised his hand and knocked on his forehead: "You still ignored two people."

Lin Yanjin thought for a while, and immediately understood: "Zhao Fengnian's parents."

Lu Yuan took a document casually and said, "Let's go, let's look elsewhere."

The two went out to say goodbye to the old lady, walked downstairs, and stood at the door of the unit, Lu Yuan suddenly said, "Wait."

After speaking, he strode to a big tree by the side of the road, stretched out two fingers and twirled the rough bark, put it under his nose and smelled it, turned around and walked back, and said decisively: "Go up."

"What did you find?" Lin Yanjin asked.

Lu Yuan stepped up the stairs in two steps at a time, and walked to the third floor in a few steps: "There is a problem."

Pushing open the door and entering, the old lady was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed and her face purple.

Lu Yuan stretched out two fingers to sniff her, and shook his head at Lin Yanjin who caught up with her: "It's a step too late."

Lin Yanjin sighed inwardly, and suddenly glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly reminded loudly: "Get out of the way!"

Lu Yuan quickly took a few steps back, but someone was faster than him.

The wrist sank, and a thin hand like a dead tree separated its five fingers, tightly grasping Lu Yuan's hand, nails dug into his flesh firmly.

The old lady turned over swiftly, stood up from the sofa, her eyes were shining brightly, and the other hand brushed the non-existent hair on her forehead, and a young woman's "giggle" laughter came out of her shriveled mouth, obviously not Her voice: "It seems that we are very destined, we meet again so soon~"
