private detective

It was getting late, the sidewalk was cold and silent at night, and a thin night fog was permeating under the dim streetlights.Zhuo Lin walked slowly on the blue brick path, his eyes focused on his toes, and he looked indifferent to his surroundings.

He has only been to the scene of the fire once, but it has not troubled his memory at all, and the place is not far from his home.

This was one of the reasons why he was willing to be there in person, and it also became the opportunity for him to meet Moxinan.

Yes, that was an encounter rather than a first encounter.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Lin couldn't help smiling.However, that smile was quickly overshadowed by a touch of sadness.

"Xinan..." He whispered the name softly, his obsidian pupils soaked in moist mist.The home filled with life because of Mo Xinan's arrival was so warm that he almost forgot his original intention of approaching him.

It's... an annoying feeling.

With a bitter smile on his lips, Zhuo Lin shook his head and quickened his pace towards the destination.

There were too many things circling in his mind, and he hurriedly turned the corner, not noticing a shadow passing by in the dark.

The residential area at night is quiet and deserted, only dots of lights shining from the windows.In the dark, the burnt outside of the building could not be seen clearly. Zhuo Lin raised his head to confirm the house he was looking for, then stepped into the door and stepped into the elevator.

The corridor on the fifth floor was empty. In the apartment where the fire broke out, all the yellow cordons set up by the police had been removed.The entire door of the apartment was pitch-black, and it seemed to still smell like burning.

The door was locked tightly, but it didn't bother Zhuo Lin.He took out a wire from his coat pocket, and after prying it a few times, the door lock made a slight "click".

The door was slowly pushed open, and the moonlight outside the window reflected the miserable scene in the living room.The burned furniture and electrical appliances have been taken away by the police as evidence. In the empty room, only the scorched floor and walls were left after being burned by the fire.

The leather shoes made slight footsteps, and Zhuo Lin walked into the living room.But he stopped after walking a few steps, raised his head and fluttered his nostrils slightly.

fragrance.

In the room, there seemed to be a fragrance...was it the fragrance of flowers?

He frowned, his eyes moved slowly in the living room, and finally stopped at a corner of the floor.

In that place, lay a small blue flower.

"That's...?" Staring at the flower, he moved his lips slightly, "Iris?...Blue iris, a herbaceous flowering plant in the genus Iris, blooms in May, belongs to the family Iridaceae, and its name comes from Greek. But why are you here..."

As he pondered, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

When his attention was completely attracted by this little flower, he didn't know that the shadow was always following behind him.

The shadow slowly moved into the living room, approaching him from behind quietly, but he didn't notice it.

Walking to the front of the flower, he bent down and knelt on the floor with one knee, touching the petals lightly with his fingertips.

At this moment, a cold wind blew past his ears.

He turned around in surprise.

The next moment, a wet handkerchief covered his mouth.

Moxinan felt very uneasy, and this uneasiness has been haunting him ever since he stepped out of Zhuo Lin's house.

What made him uneasy was not Zhuo Lin, but himself.Because since he walked out of the house, he has always felt that he is being followed.

This is a very strange feeling. Moxinan is neither a policeman nor a detective. According to common sense, he should be very slow to see.But for some reason, he could clearly feel a pair of eyes staring at him all the time, and the arrogant and naked gaze made him unable to ignore it.

It was as if the other party was deliberately making him aware.

But...is there such a person who is so unprepared but people can't catch any clues?

who is he?What do you want to do?

Could it be Zhuo Lin's old enemy?Because of holding a grudge, and harboring ill intentions towards those around him?

When this idea came to mind, Mo Xinan laughed.How could it be, I am strong and strong, but Zhuo Lin is thin, clumsy and slow, no matter how you look at it, his combat power and defense power are relatively low!

Thinking of this, Mo Xinan suddenly had a doubt.

Zhuo Lin is a detective, he must have sent many people to prison, and he should have made many enemies.He is so thin and weak all day long, has he really never been revenged by anyone?

What would he do if he was walking on the street one day and a vicious criminal held a gun and yelled at him, "Zhuo Lin, pay back your blood!" What would he do?

Shouldn't he attack the criminal with a long speech and tell him about firearms knowledge?

——The speed of the pistol is ×× meters per second, and the time for the nervous system of the human body from issuing a command to producing a response is ×× seconds, so if you shoot at me, the probability of my successful dodging is——

He wouldn't say such a thing, would he?

That way, there is no need to fight back, and the criminal might automatically raise his gun and surrender because of a nervous breakdown.

Moxinan couldn't help laughing.

But as long as he is here, this kind of thing will not happen.He is a master fighter, he may not be able to do it if there are too many opponents, but it is still no problem to face two or three big guys at a time.

He will not let the scene of Zhuo Lin being suppressed by five big men happen again when they first met.

Well, he won't let Zhuo Lin get hurt!

This kind of thought made Mo Xinan uncontrollably arouse his fighting spirit. While humming a song, he walked towards the destination quickly, almost forgetting that he was being followed.

At this time, he seemed to be vaguely aware that he had developed a strong desire to protect Zhuo Lin.

The guy with the big brain and the simple limbs.

That guy who is like a pet cat, sometimes arrogant and indifferent, sometimes coquettish and sympathetic to him.

He will protect him.

Although it's really annoying to see him mess up the house...

Moxinan scratched his head.

It took longer than expected to deliver the design draft, and the enthusiastic client insisted on pulling him to reminisce about the old days.

Since living together with Zhuo Lin, Moxinan has been employed by him and also his lover, so he hardly has any private time.In fact, Mo Xinan has a very cheerful personality. He talks a lot and likes to make friends. When delivering design drafts, he often chats with clients for two or three hours. But because he got to know Zhuo Lin, he no longer has time to chat with others.

Nearly all of the recent work is done online.

"Xinan, you've been so distracted recently, maybe you're married?" In the office, a middle-aged man with two children and a slightly fat body made a cup of coffee for Moxinan and asked with a smile.

"Nope," Mo Xinan sneered with a blushing face, "it's just...well, I have a cat."

"cat?"

"Yeah, that guy is smart, but he has a bad personality."

"How bad is it?"

"It's hard to say, he is arrogant and cold. When he is in a good mood, he will walk around the house, and when he is in a bad mood, he will sit on a chair all day..." When talking about Zhuo Lin, Mo Xinan gushed Unceasingly, "He likes to eat fish, hates celery, can only mess up and can't tidy up, always throws the books on the shelf on the ground, making a mess at home..."

"...Oh, that's really a grumpy cat." After listening for a while with a rather surprised expression, the middle-aged man nodded blankly.

"Yeah, that guy is really cute when he is obedient. But when he is disobedient, he is so angry that he wants to strangle him to death!" Mo Xinan rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Hehehehe, is it a very hot-tempered little wild cat?" The middle-aged man laughed loudly.

"Huh?" Moxinan was taken aback, and saw a pair of small but sharp eyes shining narrowly on the other's fat face.

"Here, it's exposed." The man poked his collar with his stubby fingers.

Moxinan lowered his head in confusion, and his scalp exploded.

He was in such a hurry to go out that he forgot to button all his shirts.Under the exposed collarbone, a "strawberry" mark is impressively visible.

"Ahhh! This, this is..." With a scream, Mo Xinan turned up his collar in a panic, his face flushed red.

He wanted to find a suitable excuse, but the more nervous he became, the more blank his mind became. Even his tongue seemed to be tied, and he couldn't speak anything.

asshole!When did Zhuo Lin get this guy?He didn't kiss there when he was on the sofa just now... Could it be that he was asleep last night...Damn it!

"Ahahahaha! It's nice to be young," the middle-aged man burst out laughing when he saw Moxinan's distressed appearance. He rubbed the corners of his eyes to wipe away the tears from the laughter. "It seems that your relationship is really good. Mmm, it’s a blend of milk and milk.”

"What kind of harmony, it sounds disgusting..." Mo Xinan's hair was black, "I don't know if our relationship is good, after all, that guy's brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people. Although I have liked him for a long time But what he thinks of me, I don't know at all."

"Wishing to 'plant strawberries' for you means that he at least likes your body."

"I told you not to be so disgusting!"

"Hahaha, are you getting angry? Then, do you want to keep the relationship—with that cat?"

"If I could, of course I would!"

"Is that so...then if you have this kind of awareness, it's not enough just to be in harmony with each other."

"I told you not to be so disgusting... what?" Mo Xinan opened his eyes wide in surprise, and found that the smile on the man's fat face gradually disappeared.

Just kidding, is this uncle going to teach him love lessons?

As if that was the case, he saw the man's expression gradually becoming serious.

"Xinan, are you ready?" he asked seriously.

"what to prepare?"

"Prepare to fully accept that man, and...his family."

"what?"

"Xinan, you have lived alone since you were a child, and you may not understand what I said. If you want to get along with the other party forever, you have to face more than just him. You are still young, and you don't know how to live in a long life. Here, "him" and "his family" are equally important, and sometimes the latter is more important."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, although I don't know how charming that kitten you like is, it sounds like he has a weird temper. If that's the case, his family probably won't go anywhere normally, and he must be very difficult to deal with. "

"can you?"

"Of course! You see, my wife just likes money. The 20 relatives of my natal family are all money lovers. When I got married, they all surrounded me asking for red envelopes. That scene was really..."

While talking, the man forgot the subject at the beginning, and his expression relaxed.

His obese body sank into the sofa, crossed his legs, lit a cigarette by the way, and eloquently recalled his youth.

He kept talking vigorously, but Moxinan lowered his head and couldn't listen to a word.

Xi Nan, are you ready?

Prepare to fully accept that person, and his family.

This question was still lingering in Moxinan's mind until he said goodbye to the client and was on the way home.

He never thought about it.

Moxinan's family concept is very weak, and his parents divorced when he was very young.He was sentenced to his father, and he had been boarding since junior high school, and rented a single apartment directly after graduating from university.

The relationship between father and son, of course, will not be very close.The only connection between the two is the support money that Moxinan sent every month, and treating dad to a meal during the Chinese New Year.

Other than that, Moxinan only has colleagues, neighbors, and friends in his life... His interpersonal relationship is very good, so good that sometimes he forgets that he still has such things as "family" in this world.

But he didn't, it doesn't mean Zhuo Lin didn't.

Zhuo Lin is very easy-going in his private life - of course it can be said that he has no nerve - he never asks about Moxinan's personal affairs, maybe in his eyes these are "irrelevant".

It doesn't matter to Mo Xinan, whether Zhuo Lin asks or not, his family background can be explained clearly with a few simple words.

But what about Zhuo Lin himself?He himself is confused, is it possible that Moxinan will always be as confused as him?

Of course Zhuo Lin didn't jump out of the cracks in the rock, who are his parents?What work do you do?Why are children raised so strangely?where are they nowHow is your relationship with Zhuo Lin?

Moreover, Zhuo Lin seems to be rich.Did he earn all this money from his own work?What about those shiny gold credit cards?Whether Zhuo Lin is a detective or a hacker, Moxinan doesn't think the bank will be willing to apply for such a high-end credit card for him.

After all, these are hardly respectable occupations.

Once I started thinking about it, the questions just kept popping up.Moxinan gradually discovered that Zhuo Lin was surrounded by many mysteries, and he didn't know any of the answers to the mysteries.

So, what to do?

Moxinan's current plan is to become a stable couple with Zhuo Lin, but what will happen after that?To be an underground lover for the rest of my life, or just...marry him?

Thinking of the last two words, he felt dizzy.

It is not so easy for a man to marry a man.

However, he was unwilling to give up Zhuo Lin to others.He liked him, a feeling that became even more pronounced after the cohabitation.The life with the real Zhuo Lin is many times more wonderful than the illusory spring dream.Recently, Moxinan even felt that Zhuo Lin, who has no roots, is quite cute. While chasing after him to tidy up, while scolding him angrily, this kind of life is not fun.

He is really getting worse...

Could it be that this is love?

Maybe he really loves Zhuo Lin, this love is not shattered because Zhuo Lin walked from the spring dream to reality, but became more intense.

He didn't want to be separated from Zhuo Lin again.

A cold wind blew in the street, and Moxinan shivered suddenly, shrinking his shoulders.Chatting too much, and thinking too focused, he realized that it was almost midnight.

He clearly promised Zhuo Lin that he would go home within an hour, but now it has been more than four hours, will this guy be angry?

Seeing that he didn't even call his cell phone, he probably woke up from deep thought and realized that he was not there, so he went to work in the study in despair.

If you go home and see that he is still awake, you must give him a severe reprimand, then hug him to the bed and say "this" or "that"!

Thinking of this, Mo Xinan couldn't help laughing lewdly again.

Zhuo Lin seemed to be a little afraid of heights, he would be terrified as long as he was hugged by Moxinan, he closed his eyes and shouted desperately, "Quick... put me down..." The slightly trembling voice made Moxinan want to bully him even more , he would hug Zhuo Lin around the room several times, and then throw him on the bed.

And at this time, Zhuo Lin's dark pupils had become moist, and he would stare at him with slight resentment.

Such eyes will make Mo Xinan even more excited.And what follows, of course, is another hot intimacy...

Hey, how about playing this trick tonight?

Moxinan covered her mouth and snickered, Zhuo Lin had low blood pressure, and would be groggy at midnight and lose all resistance.Then... just bully him until he has no strength, and then get to the point?If he closed his eyes or didn't let out such a tempting gasp, maybe he could hold on a little longer, maybe he could successfully take Zhuo Lin as his own?

The more Moxinan thought about it, the more excited he became. The problem that was bothering him just now was gradually forgotten.

He couldn't wait to go home to see Zhuo Lin, so he almost ran all the way home.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he found that the atmosphere was not right.

There is no one at home, and Zhuo Lin is not there.

His note was left on the tea table—it turned out that he went to the scene of the fire.This errand was supposed to be done by Moxinan, but when Zhuo Lin recovered from his state of mind-wandering, he found that he had disappeared, so he could only run there himself.

Zhuo Lin was slightly displeased between the lines of the note, he seemed quite dissatisfied with Moxinan's "sudden" going out.But Moxinan held the note, tears welling up in his eyes.

—— Zhuo Lin, he, he, he finally learned to tell his whereabouts before going out!

I still remember that when Mo Xinan first moved in, Zhuo Lin would often run out for no reason.He went out at irregular times, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at noon, sometimes in the evening, and sometimes at midnight.The most exaggerated thing is that once Moxinan woke up at four o'clock in the morning and found that there was no one around him, and Zhuo Lin could not be seen anywhere in the house. He was almost scared out of his wits!

Although it was later known that Zhuo Lin had gone to the scene of the crime, Mo Xinan was still so angry that he almost pushed Zhuo Lin to the ground and beat him up.Similar skirmishes have happened countless times, and in the end Moxinan was so angry that he wanted to pry Zhuo Lin's head open and engrave the words "Report before going out" into his brain!

Now that Zhuo Lin has finally learned this, Moxinan really has the feeling of a mother bird seeing its chicks grow wings.

Being able to do this, does it mean that Zhuo Lin is one step closer to being a normal person?

but……

Frowning slightly, Moxinan felt something was wrong.

According to the contents of the note, Zhuo Lin went out not long after he left.It's been almost five hours now, and he wouldn't normally be away from home for that long.

After all, even the first time he went to that apartment, it took him only 3 minutes to survey the site.

Looking up at the clock, Mo Xinan watched the pointer slowly pass twelve o'clock, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart.

What exactly is Zhuo Lin going to do that takes so long?Could it be lost?Or do you get hungry on the way home and go to the shopping street to buy something to eat?Or found an interesting clue and lost track of time because of the investigation?

Are you going to find Uncle Xiong?

still……?

The more he thought about it, the more something went wrong, he turned around and rushed out of the house.

However, as soon as he rushed to the street, he stopped and scratched his head blankly.

He... doesn't remember where that apartment is at all!

Moxinan is an ordinary person, and his memory is not as good as Zhuo Lin's.After going to the scene, he forgot about the fire, and now he can't remember the exact address of the apartment at all.

This is how to do?

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the uneasy feeling in his heart spread rapidly.Zhuo Lin's late return made him couldn't help thinking about the incident that he was followed by someone just now. On the way home, he was busy thinking about his thoughts, and didn't notice whether that line of sight was still there.

Later, did the other party continue to follow him?

If not, he...won't he change his target and follow Zhuo Lin?

and put him...

"No way!" Mo Xinan shook his head vigorously.

Although that guy Zhuo Lin lacks brains, he is not stupid.Being able to live alone in peace until now, he is obviously not a fool who would put himself in danger.

But...that was a thing of the past after all.At that time, Mo Xinan didn't know Zhuo Lin, so naturally he couldn't care about his safety; now they are cohabitants, employers and wage earners, and temporary lovers, so of course he has to worry about that guy!

asshole!After you get him back, you must grab his ear and warn him, "Next time you go out, you must not only report to the police, but also tell you how long it will take!"

At the same time that this idea came to mind ferociously, Moxinan felt a burst of sadness.

This kind of me is like a caring babysitter!

He's getting worse and worse...

Taking out his mobile phone, Mo Xinan decided to call Uncle Xiong.There is no way to be anxious, at least he has to ask for the address of the apartment, and he will teach Zhuo Lin a good lesson after he finds Zhuo Lin back.

However, just before he was about to press the number, he caught a glimpse of something strange from the corner of his eyes.

He looked up and saw a man standing at the end of the street.

The air was filled with hazy night fog, and the surroundings were quiet. There was not even a car or a pedestrian on the empty road.

The whole world seemed to have suddenly fallen into an endless sleep. In such silence, Moxinan could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

He swallowed, and stared at the man blankly.

Thin mist drifted around him, making him look like an ethereal phantom.There was an aura of tranquility all over his body, so peaceful that Moxinan had no idea when he was standing there.

After confirming that Mo Xinan had noticed him, the other party stepped forward and walked over slowly.

His steps were graceful, smooth, quiet, and light, like a well-bred gentleman.As his body moved, the mist slowly dissipated to the surroundings. It took Moxinan a few seconds to see clearly that it was a gentle and elegant young man.

The young man has brown hair, which is neatly fixed behind the ears with hairspray, and his smooth and white forehead looks very refreshing.It was already late at night, but he was still wearing a light brown three-piece suit meticulously, in a state of "working".

After advancing about fifty meters, the young man stopped two meters away from Moxinan.He stood tall and graceful, with a warm smile on his face.For some reason, seeing that smile, Moxinan's violent heartbeat gradually calmed down.

This man has an irresistible affinity.

"Mr. Mo, I'm sorry for disturbing you late at night," the young man bowed [-] degrees precisely, and the young man saluted Mo Xinan very respectfully, "The boss is waiting for you, please follow me."

"Old...boss?" The inexplicable opening made Moxinan confused, "What boss? Who are you?"

"I'm the boss' secretary."

"...Is that the same as not saying it? To introduce yourself, at least give your name!"

"My name is not important to me. From now on, you can just call me Secretary." The young man said, gesturing in the direction of the street.

With the movement of his fingers, a black Mercedes glided slowly from the corner and stopped in front of him silently.

Opening the back seat door with a very elegant movement, the young man saluted Mo Xinan again and made an inviting gesture at the same time.

"Please hurry up, the boss's patience is limited. Besides... I think Zhuo Lin will soon be impatient."

"Zhuo...Zhuo Lin? You mean Zhuo Lin?" Mo Xinan finally woke up from the last part of the young man's words. He understood in an instant, rushed up and grabbed the young man's collar, and shook him viciously, "I see. ! Was it you who f*cking followed me just now! Where did you get Zhuo Lin!?”

The brown hair swayed gently in front of his forehead. Facing Moxinan's ferocious expression, the young man still smiled calmly.

"Please hurry up and get in the car with me. Is that okay?"

Staring into Moxinan's angry eyes, he repeated what he said just now in a very gentle voice.

A soft smile, as warm as the sun.
