There is always a cheater behind every detective

invitations...

Bai Yan hung up the phone, picked up the phone and pressed Zhao Zhuojie's numbers one by one, deleted them one by one, and pressed them one by one, repeating.He has always remained quiet and peaceful, as if playing a small game to kill time in the midst of boredom.In the end, Bai Yan did not delete the number, but pressed the call button.

The signal sound was long and orderly, but it was the cruelest torture to Bai Yan's ears.

If there is no connection, then burn the invitation card?

Bai Yan thought, but there was not even a buffer time, the call was connected, ending the short wait.

[noob?How do you take the initiative to call me?what's up? ] Zhao Zhuojie expressed concern and doubt in his tone. After all, he has been too active in checking posts recently, and Bai Yan usually has no chance to take the initiative to call him.

There was a voice on the other end of the phone, Zhao Zhuojie seemed very busy.

"Did I bother you?" Bai Yan looked extravagantly at Zhao Zhuojie and said yes, then he hung up the phone.

[No, it's nothing, just to help the armed police and deal with it. ]

"Oh? A trick?" Bai Yan stared at the thin layer of dust on the table, and lightly slid her fingers across, leaving a trace.

[Well, at S University, a girl complained that her test score was too low, so her boyfriend picked and killed the students who ranked above her in the test. I bought gasoline, and I'm negotiating with a lighter. ]

Having dealt with too many tragedies that ordinary people can't understand, Zhao Zhuojie spoke in a relatively calm tone.

Bai Yan listened carefully, and didn't express her opinion until Zhao Zhuojie finished speaking: "He just loves that girl too much."

[Xiaobai, that's a pervert. ] Zhao Zhuojie's tone seemed helpless: [To kill is to kill, this is a fact, and love cannot be used as an excuse. ]

"I understand." Bai Yan knew that Zhao Zhuojie, no matter how sloppy he looked and how casual his behavior was, he was very principled and persistent. For such a person, even if he burned the invitation, he still couldn't burn his determination.Bai Yan saw that his hands were shaking, he knew that his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, because of a sense of crisis that was similar to standing on a cliff and would slip at any time.He took a deep breath, forced himself to be calm, opened his mouth slowly, and pushed himself out of the cliff: "I have received the invitation."

[ah? ] Zhao Zhuojie paused, and immediately reacted: [I'll be back as soon as possible. ]

There was a rapid signal sound in his ear, Bai Yan put down the phone, rubbed his forehead and sighed, he seemed to hear the sound of the countdown to death, and soon, he would be smashed to pieces with a slap.Bai Yan looked around the house from the sofa, and finally curled up and closed her eyes... He thought, at least he had to find out who the murderer was.

It seems that because the purpose of dreaming is very clear, Bai Yan soon fell asleep and fell asleep smoothly during the day for the first time, and it was from Zhao Zhuosi's perspective.In the dream, father Zhao's throat was cut neatly, and mother Zhao's eyes were full of shock and mourning. The murderer stabbed the beautiful woman's chest with a military thorn and quickly drained her life. In the dream, Zhao Zhuosi woke up quickly, and the little child looked around In a familiar room, the faint light from a small night light by the bed could not dispel the fear in his heart. He shrank into the quilt, shivering, and then someone opened the door. Zhao Zhuojie, who emerged from the dream, could never see a dream.

At this critical moment, the dream changed again. In the dream, a young man was tied to a chair, struggling and screaming desperately. Soon his screaming was interrupted by a thin layer of plastic film, and he began to shake his head desperately. Getting rid of the plastic bag was unsuccessful. He opened his mouth to inhale air, but the plastic film clinged tightly, clearly depicting a grim face about to suffocate. The struggle gradually weakened, and finally the young man It twitched a few times, but there was no more movement.

After a while, the murderer confirmed that the person was dead and did not take off the plastic bag. He took out a neatly folded list from his pocket, opened it and carefully drew out a name. Come down, there are three more.

"Xiao Bai! Xiao Bai!"

Bai Yan opened her eyes abruptly, and met Zhao Zhuojie's anxious face. It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun penetrated the glass, casting an orange-gold brilliance on this man, like a god descending to earth.

"Jack?"

Seeing Bai Yan woke up, Zhao Zhuojie was so annoyed that he breathed a sigh of relief, "What are you doing?! Don't you never sleep during the day? Didn't you tell you not to dream?!"

Facing the questioning, Bai Yan pursed her lips lightly: "I just want... to find out who the murderer is."

No need to go into details, Zhao Zhuojie immediately understood that this murderer refers to the murderer 15 years ago, Bai Yan kept it from him, and slept and dreamed during the day, in fact, it was just to help him. Unable to get up, he gently put the person down, straightened his wrinkled clothes, walked into the kitchen and poured two cups of warm water, his face softened: "How can it be so easy? What did you dream about today? "

Bai Yan took a sip of warm water, and slowly described what she saw in the dream, but skipped the content of "dream within a dream", which was the only concealment he dared not confess.

If Zhao Zhuojie knew the truth, would he hate Zhao Zhuosi?

After Zhao Zhuojie listened carefully, he took Bai Yan and shunned her hair: "Xiaobai, don't force yourself too much, 15 years have passed, there is not much time left, take your time. The dream you dreamed later should be today In the case I went to handle, the murderer was a graduate student of S University. His girlfriend had good grades and was competing for an exchange student spot, but her grades have dropped recently. She was afraid that she would lose in the competition, so she urged her boyfriend to mess with those competitors. So that she could grab the spot, who knew that her boyfriend killed someone directly, she broke up with him after she noticed it, and then called the police. In the morning, this broken-hearted boyfriend blocked the people in a classroom, poured fire and water, and said that they would die together. Later we found this Girlfriend, let her cooperate in coaxing the murderer out and arresting him on the condition of being an exchange student."

"Why does she want to be with him?" Bai Yan didn't understand at all, what kind of love can be exchanged with the exchange student quota?

Zhao Zhuojie understood Bai Yan's doubts. After all, how could such a person who loves wholeheartedly understand those twists and turns?He sighed again: "Because from the very beginning, this girl has been using him. He is a graduate student and a teaching assistant, and he is of great help to her activities in the university."

"Did you just use it from the beginning?" Bai Yan nodded, indicating that she had figured it out, and then seriously emphasized: "Brother Jie, I really love you."

Zhao Zhuojie laughed when he heard the words, thinking that the little prince could always say the most heart-wrenching and heart-pounding words with the most sincere and honest attitude, he was really cute, and he couldn't help rubbing him in his arms: "Go, didn't you say Here comes the invitation? Let's go get it, and then I will punish you tonight, hum!"

Bai Yan passively asked Zhao Zhuojie to pick it up and take him away. Zhao Zhuojie always regarded him as shy, and it wasn't until he brought him into the car that he realized that his expression was not right.

"What's the matter? Not feeling well? Why don't you go get it tomorrow." Although Zhao Zhuojie was very concerned about the invitation, Bai Yan was more important.

Bai Yan forced out a smile, a faint, forced smile: "No, let's go."

Zhao Zhuojie wanted to say something else, but Bai Yan took out a snack in the car and ate it. Zhao Zhuojie knew that Bai Yan would not allow him to refuse, so he took a closer look and found nothing unusual except his complexion, so he started the machine. The car went to Baijia Castle.

It was already late when we arrived at the castle. The outer wall of the ancient castle standing in the night was illuminated like daylight. There were dogs patrolling the garden, and the housekeeper was already standing behind the iron fence. After coming out, the iron door was still opened, and the housekeeper handed over a plate covered with swan-tied cotton pads, on which lay an envelope with a phoenix pattern on it.

It's an invitation from Fenghuo Sect.

Zhao Zhuojie couldn't wait to take it over, tore off the envelope two or three times, and got the invitation card, but the content of the invitation card did not specify the location like in the past, but wrote a certain time, indicating that there would be a car pick-up and drop-off on that day, except for the Bai family who was the host Eldest young master, you can also bring a companion.

Zhao Zhuojie's hand holding the invitation trembled involuntarily. He was very excited because it made him take a big step towards the truth.

Zhao Zhuojie calmed down from the excitement, and found that Bai Yan was looking at him quietly, there was relief in those eyes, and there was more determination. Zhao Zhuojie had seen this expression before, in the eyes of some people who were about to kill relatives righteously.His heart trembled, and he suddenly thought that maybe the murderer had something to do with Bai Yan, maybe Bai Yan knew the murderer, maybe Bai Yan didn't want the murderer to be hurt.

This kind of thought made Zhao Zhuojie panic, and a voice in his heart shouted 'this is definitely not the truth'.

"Let's go, let's go home." After a while, Zhao Zhuojie made a hoarse voice, turned around and went back to the car first.

Bai Yan also followed, the butler was still standing outside the wide open iron gate, quietly lowering his head like a sculpture.

After Bai Yan got into the car and fastened her seat belt, Zhao Zhuojie fueled the car, and the car raced on the mountain road, quickly leaving the castle and the sculptures behind. After a long time, Zhao Zhuojie slowed down and became quiet.He thought it over clearly, no matter what, the murderer would not be Bai Yan, as long as Bai Yan was not the murderer, whoever he was, even if Bai Yan covered up the murderer.

Then Zhao Zhuojie retorted that he was thinking too much, if Bai Yan didn't want him to know who the murderer was, why would he deliberately dream?Bai Yan is not that girl, she loves him with all her heart, even her life, so how can she do something that is not good for him?So, trust Bai Yan.

Clearing his throat, Zhao Zhuojie looked at Bai Yan who was surprisingly silent beside him, and said, "Xiao Bai, just tell me what's on your mind, I will listen and help you."

Bai Yan nodded: "Then let me tell you, the person who killed your parents was actually sent by your adoptive father, because...he took a fancy to your younger brother and wanted that collection."

squeak……

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground resounded on the silent road, Zhao Zhuojie stared at Bai Yan with round eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"What did you say...?" Zhao Zhuojie smiled as if he suddenly realized that it was a joke, but after two dry laughs, his face was hardened with anger: "I don't like this kind of joke."
