Seven's secret

When he came to this small rental house again, Pei Rong felt that it was obviously messier than the last time.The boy's changed shirt was casually thrown on the armrest of the sofa, and a half-eaten box of instant noodles was placed on the dining table, and the smell in the room was not good.However, in just one day, a short layer of stubble had appeared on the boy's chin, and there were bloodshot eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

Pei Rong sat down opposite him, looking behind the boy.Through a glass sliding door, Xiao Qi was standing in front of the cage and talking to the two peony parrots. His voice was very low, and he could only hear a soft and vague tone when he was sitting in the living room. Not sure what they were talking about.But Xiaoqi's expression is very gentle, as if he is looking at a cute and well-behaved child.

Looking at this scene on the balcony, Pei Rong seemed to be relieved of the negative emotions suppressed in his heart, and his frowning brows were involuntarily released, revealing a faint smile.

Xiao Qi turned her head and waved at Pei Rong, who quickly stood up and walked over, "How is it?"

Xiao Qi pointed to the downstairs, "Is there surveillance in this open space?"

Pei Rong pondered for a while, "There should be." Because Cao Lin didn't disappear near the community, the focus of the police investigation is still concentrated on the campus.

The boy following from the living room heard two people talking on the balcony, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I heard it from people in the community when we first moved here."

Pei Rong and Xiao Qi looked at each other. Although Pei Rong didn't know what Xiao Qi wanted him to watch from the surveillance camera, out of trust in him, he got up quickly to ask about the surveillance video.

Xiao Qi asked the boy, "What day does your family eat pineapple?"

The boy replied casually: "It was two days before Linlin disappeared." After he finished speaking, he realized that a look of extreme surprise appeared on his face.

Xiao Qi nodded to Pei Rong: "Focus on checking the surveillance that day." He stretched out his finger and drew a virtual circle towards the downstairs, "What you can see from the balcony."

Pei Rong knew that there should be the clues he needed, and with a happy face, he hurried out with the phone in his hand.

"Why do you want to check the surveillance video of the community?" The boy looked at the handsome young man on the balcony who was playing with the birds, and asked him nervously, "Has a perverted murderer appeared here?"

Xiao Qi saw the boy's nervousness on the verge of collapse, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Your girlfriend definitely doesn't want you to collapse before she comes back."

The boy's eye circles were slightly red.He has been very smooth since he was a child, and he has never experienced such a thing. What happened in the past two days has far exceeded his tolerance.

"Take a shower, sleep, don't think about anything, if you don't want to stay by yourself, go and be with your girlfriend's family." Xiaoqi thought for a while and added, "Trust the power of the police. They They are all special police, the most elite force in the city. I don't believe that criminal will be stronger than them."

The boy took a deep breath, nodded with red eyes.When sending them to the door, he promised Xiaoqi, "I will definitely take good care of Linlin's parents."

Pei Rong glanced at Xiao Qi, who had a serious expression on his face, and held back his silence. He rubbed his head until he got downstairs, "Your ability to motivate people is almost as good as our deputy's!"

Xiaoqi rescued her head from his hands and reminded him: "The day they ate pineapple, probably from the time she came back from school to before dinner, there should be someone downstairs who attracted Cao Lin's attention." .”

Pei Rong's expression became a little more serious, "What's going on?"

Xiao Qi shook her head, "These two little things usually don't care much about the affairs of outsiders. When Cao Lin fed them pineapples, she muttered, the man downstairs is really perverted, he always follows girls when he has nothing to do... "Xiao Qi said and spread his hands regretfully, "The two little guys were all focused on the pineapple at the time, and didn't pay attention to what Cao Lin said, probably because I heard the word "abnormal" before thinking of Cao Lin. Lynn said that too."

Pei Rong pressed him, "What is Cao Lin's original words?"

Xiao Qi imitated the little parrot's description and said: "Your world is simple, you eat and play, and there are no perverts. Did you see the guy downstairs, who always follows girls, he is definitely not a good person."

Pei Rong frowned slightly, "It sounds like Cao Lin was followed by him?"

Xiao Qi shook her head.He is only in charge of translation, and his personal opinions may have a negative impact on Pei Rong, "I guess at that time, there should be such a person downstairs. But the specific kind of person, the parrot can't describe it. It's like We see all parrots look alike, and they look the same in humans."

"This is also a clue. I will investigate what's going on." Pei Rong rubbed his hair, "I'm going back to the bureau, and I'll send you to the work shed?"

"No need, you go and do your own work." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "I'll just take a taxi."

Pei Rong stopped being polite to him, helped him get a taxi, and drove back to the bureau in a hurry.

Xiaoqi went back to the shed by himself to continue his digging.

Xiaoqi first finished the pair of yellow-glazed pastel bowls with happy eyebrow patterns, and after entrusting Bai Yan to send them to Bai Yulan, he began to burn the Yaobian Tianmu bowl that Murong Jin wanted with all his heart.

Four flawless Yaobian Tianmu lamps that can fool the detection equipment.

At the moment when the finished product came out of the kiln, Xiaoqi stared at these glorious and blurred porcelains, and felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.Such a beautiful thing is a tool he uses to calculate others.

This is simply blasphemy.

However, there is no better opportunity than this.Xiao Qi's fingers lightly brushed the shining blue spot on the teacup, he knew that he was absolutely unwilling to give up such an opportunity, and Murong Jin would not allow him to give up.

Love also, also potential also.

Xiaoqi put on the lid of the box, took out the phone and called Murong Jin.

The matter of the work shed came to an end for the time being, Xiao Qi packed up her things and went home early.To his surprise, Pei Rong was also at home, teasing the two pets with a small dried fish.Seeing Xiao Qi come back, he also had a surprised expression on his face.

"Why are you back? Are you done?"

Xiao Qi stretched her waist, "I'm done with my work. You can sleep in tomorrow."

Pei Rong pulled him to sit down under the eaves of the veranda. Before he could sit still, the black cat jumped onto Xiao Qi's lap, raised its neck and meowed.The little hedgehog also ran over, holding half a small dried fish in his mouth.

Xiaoqi rubbed Yutou's head and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm at home tomorrow and I can make fried fish for you."

Pei Rong looked at the evil black cat sourly, "It's not raising a pet, it's obviously raising a son."

The black cat bared its teeth at Pei Rong and meowed angrily.

Xiao Qi laughed.

Pei Rong looked at the black cat's frowning and asked Xiaoqi curiously, "What did it say?"

Xiao Qi smiled and shook his hands. He didn't want to repeat to Pei Rong, "This is the home of Lao Tzu and Xiao Qi". The relationship between the two is already unfriendly.

"Aren't you going to investigate the case? Why are you back so early?"

Pei Rong leaned over and kissed Xiao Qi on the cheek, "Thanks for the clue you found. The day they ate pineapples, at that time, there was a man next to the carport downstairs."

Xiao Qi didn't understand, "It's almost dinner time, many people go home from get off work, right? Why do you think this person is suspicious?"

Pei Rong snapped his fingers, "That's the problem. After identification, he is not a resident of this community."

Xiao Qi blinked her eyes, feeling that Pei Rong was trying to trick her.The community is not a closed environment, and it is not uncommon for there to be an extra person who is not a resident of the community.

Pei Rong's expression was mysterious, "I compared the surveillance videos of the previous victims, and I saw this person behind the first victim."

Xiao Qi's eyes widened suddenly, "You mean..."

Pei Rong smiled and said: "Now I can only say that this person is suspicious. I will show the video to Kobe for confirmation, but it is not so easy to find a person in the vast crowd." Pei Rong was silent. For a moment, he said to himself: "Tell me, how does this person choose his prey? Usually we think that the first victim is the most critical..."

Xiao Qi asked him casually, "The first one is also a college student?"

Pei Rong nodded, "It's from the Conservatory of Music. She is a very beautiful girl who can also dress up. When the body was found, she was wearing a short skirt with a large flower pattern. The policewoman in our bureau said which brand the skirt was from It's a limited edition anyway..." Pei Rong's voice stopped abruptly, as if he had just thought of something, all the hairs on his back stood on end.

Xiao Qi was taken aback by his reaction, "What's wrong?"

Pei Rong didn't hear what he said, so he was out of his mind for a while, took out the phone and dialed out, "Xiao Meng, check the weather conditions of the week before the first victim disappeared... Cool down? Are you sure?"

After hanging up the phone, Pei Rong's face became a little ugly. He leaned on the recliner and murmured, "The first victim is a girl from the Conservatory of Music, wearing a short skirt. The second victim is a girl from a food engineering project. , she was wearing a long-sleeved shirt... The first victim played the most crucial role... The head of the girl from the food engineering school has never been found... We made a mistake! The girl from the Conservatory was found first , but she is not the first victim. It is very likely that the girl whose head was not found is the first victim!"

At the end of Pei Rong's speech, he jumped up, frantically picked up his mobile phone and started making calls.

Xiao Qi was surprised for a while, and felt that Pei Rong in this appearance was quite interesting.Pei Rong probably suddenly remembered some key clue at this moment, so Xiao Qi didn't dare to disturb him, so he tiptoed to the kitchen, intending to see what he was making for dinner.His master will come back later, this old man is not picky about his food, he just doesn't like meat.

Xiaoqi dug out the pork belly from the refrigerator to defrost.Some time ago, he learned how to cook a few dishes with Aunt Fang. Although the cooking was not very good, the master, who can only eat but can't cook, praised his craftsmanship.This gave Xiaoqi a lot of motivation.

While thinking about dinner, Pei Rong hurried into the kitchen, put his arms around him and kissed him deeply, then ran away in a hurry, "I have to go back to the bureau. I may not come at night, so don't wait for me. "

Before Xiao Qi could speak, Pei Rong got into the car and left in a hurry.

Xiaoqi opened his mouth and closed it helplessly, turned around and saw Yutou was lying on the kitchen window sill and looking at him, his big yellow eyes looked like he was watching a scene.

Xiao Qi spread his hands and sighed helplessly, "The police, that's it. We have to understand him."

Yutou sneered, "Who cares about him?! If he doesn't eat at home, Spider-Man and I can eat a few more pieces of meat. This stupid big man is so edible, it's a waste of food!"

Xiaoqi, "..."

Yutou licked his paws, "Besides, he always pesters you when he's at home, so you don't have time to play with us with balls of wool. Actually, you're glad he's gone, right?"

Xiao Qi looked up at the sky.

Should he say yes?Or should I say no?
