The car stalled on the side of the road.

The window on the driver's seat was half open, and Lin Jianqiu approached, only to find that Ye Huaishuang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had his eyes closed.

The glasses were placed on the seat next to him, and two books were pressed,? And the owner of the car didn't even notice that someone was coming.

Appears to be asleep.

How long have you been waiting here.

Lin Jianqiu couldn't help thinking.

Seeing the tired look on Ye Huaishuang's brows, he hesitated for a while when he reached out his hand, but finally bent his fingers, and tapped lightly on the car window twice.

"Mr. Ye."

Ye Huaishuang woke up immediately, he opened his eyes and looked out the window, and subconsciously narrowed his eyes because of blurred vision.

Such a close distance is enough for him to see Lin Jianqiu's face clearly.

He and Lin Jianqiu looked at each other for a while, and it took a while to slowly recover from the blank state.

Lin Jianqiu held back his laughter and couldn't help asking, "How long are you waiting here?"

Ye Huaishuang touched the glasses next to him and put them on. The face of the person in front of him became clearer—the white gauze on the face hadn’t been torn off, and a bandage had come off, but there was only a little red mark left on the wound, which could almost Ignore it.

"It didn't take long." Ye Huaishuang pressed the center of his brows. The tiredness gradually dissipated. He opened the door and got out of the car. Then he turned around and took out the small notebook, "You left something behind."

"I called you earlier to remind you to shut down."

"Sorry, I've been out today,? I couldn't find a place to charge my phone. When I came back at night, I felt like I had to go back anyway..."

Lin Jianqiu paused, but didn't continue to look for reasons: "Next time I will remember to charge it in time."

"What happened again?" Ye Huaishuang asked.

"A father and daughter were killed. The father was a good man with a good reputation in the neighborhood, and the little girl was only ten years old."

Lin Jianqiu's tone was quite calm, but Ye Huaishuang could easily feel that he was not in a good mood.

Just like when the film and television city case happened last time.

Lin Jianqiu's state during this period looked very different from usual.

In fact, he met Lin Jianqiu only a few times in total, but he feels that this kind of thing... is also very subtle.

Ye Huaishuang recalled the stack of dating tips that his friend had sneakily given him.

Although in terms of the current relationship between the two of them, it is not necessary for the time being.

But part of the central idea and goal remains the same—how to relax and cheer up a date.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Ye Huaishuang asked him.

"Not yet." Lin Jianqiu shook his head.

"Would you like to have dinner together? I'll treat you." Ye Huaishuang glanced at the phone, "I didn't eat either, I wanted to go home, but it's so late, my parents may have gone to bed."

He had told his family in advance that he would go back the next day.

Lin Jianqiu nodded.

It was inconvenient for him to say some things to the bearded man, firstly because the other party couldn't help much, and secondly because he didn't want to bring him any psychological shadow.

——After the last haunting incident, the bearded man continued to have nightmares for several days, and the sequelae lasted for a long time.

But when facing Ye Huaishuang, he didn't seem to have so many scruples.

Just like Lin Jianqiu can keep up with Ye Huaishuang's rhythm and understand his slight emotional changes, to a certain extent, Ye Huaishuang can also easily understand Lin Jianqiu.

There are many things that don't need to be said, he seems to realize it.

Some tacit understanding does not depend on the length of time of acquaintance.

Sometimes Lin Jianqiu felt that the other party looked at him as if he was not watching "Lin Jianqiu" at all.

The eyes and attitude are completely different from the memory of the original owner in the past.

This is a strange thing that can't be explained clearly. Under Ye Huaishuang's subtle attitude, it seems like a little secret between each other.

Lin Jianqiu had to admit that he was slightly happy because of this.

If given a choice, no one would want to live the rest of his life wearing someone else's shell and being treated as another irrelevant person.

Even if that person has the same name and the same face as him.

Lin Jianqiu stretched out his hand to Ye Huaishuang: "Can I borrow Teacher Ye's cell phone? I'll call my friend."

Ye Huaishuang handed over the phone, watched him dial, and asked one more question: "Do you still live with that friend from before?"

Lin Jianqiu gave a casual "hmm", and when he looked up, he found that Ye Huaishuang's expression was a bit subtle, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Ye Huaishuang looked away: "...it's nothing."

It is impolite to interfere with other people's friendship.

Including who the other person lives with.

Ye Huaishuang swallowed those impolite words back.

Lin Jianqiu's house.

The bearded man was looking at the kettle while staring at the pot. Next to him was a handful of freshly washed green vegetables, which he was about to put down.

Occasionally glance at the phone again.

Lin Jianqiu said he was going to make a phone call, but he still hasn't returned.

For such a big person, he has already walked to the gate of the community, so he won't be abducted again.

The bearded man didn't worry much about his safety, he was only hesitating when it would be more appropriate to come down.

If you come back too late, your face will be lumpy.

In fact, he had already had dinner, but he was playing with Nan Nan at night, so he didn't eat much, and then he ran a long way back and forth, and when he came back, he heard his stomach growling twice.

The bearded man grabbed a handful of noodles and was about to put some of them in when he heard the phone ring.

He grabbed his face with one hand and his phone with the other.

The call was from Lin Jianqiu.

It is said that he met a friend at the gate of the community, and the other party invited him to dinner, so he went back later.

The bearded man was just a little surprised at first, wondering if any of Lin Jianqiu's friends would invite him to dinner at this time—could it be that Mr. Wei who is always bored?

Naturally, he would not interfere with Lin Jianqiu's personal friendship, so he responded twice to indicate that he knew.

It seems that there should be less noodles.

But then he heard another voice from the other side of the phone.

"How is this store?"

"The door should still be open at this point."

“I heard that online reviews are pretty good.”

……

It's a man's voice.

Lin Jianqiu briefly exchanged a few words with that person and settled down.

When the bearded man heard the name of the store mentioned on the opposite side, his eyes widened, his hands shook, and he fell face-to-face into the water.

"and many more--"

There was only a short busy tone left on the phone.

The bearded man stared at the phone and fell into a long silence and contemplation.

He even began to wonder if he had been so excited recently that he had hallucinations——

The name of the restaurant that the two of them made an appointment with was clearly a well-known internet celebrity couple restaurant.

Just two days ago, he secretly checked it, thinking that he might take Zhong Xinyue to have a look if he had the chance in the future.

In the end, before he had time to confess, Lin Jianqiu was taken over by a man first?

The bearded man was shocked.

For a moment, he didn't know whether his indistinguishable mood at the moment stemmed from envy, jealousy, or the complexity of his own cabbage about to be raped by a pig.

No, in terms of Lin Jianqiu's personality...

Maybe it's just a simple meal.

Does this kind of person who comes into contact with a rich woman only want to help her walk the dog to make money, really have any romantic cells?

That night, the bearded man stood in the narrow kitchen for a long time.

I have doubted my life for a long time, and I have gained a belly full of food.

Finally came to a conclusion -

The overcooked noodles are really hard to eat.

On the other side, in a certain restaurant.

Today is a working day, and the time is late at night, so there are not many people in the store.

It just so happens that this store looks relatively clean and tidy nearby.

You can't let Young Master Ye go to the roadside stalls with you.

Lin Jianqiu and Ye Huaishuang were quite calm, they really came here to eat with all their heart, and they could ignore the occasional scrutiny from them.

One of the great advantages of the store is that there is a partition between each table. It happens that there are no people at the front, back, left, and right tables. If you sit in the corner and lower your voice slightly, no one will hear them talking.

Lin Jianqiu also didn't want to make other guests lose their excuse to eat because of discussing too bloody things.

There is also the risk of being taken to the police station as a dangerous person.

It is very convenient now.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Ye Huaishuang searched for the case Lin Jianqiu mentioned.

Ye Huaishuang also has certain authority because he has cooperated with the police all the year round, and the case of the Dai family father and daughter is also followed up by the official media. In order to avoid panic, some details have been released as soon as possible.

A quick look at the case doesn't take much time.

Ye Huaishuang asked: "What kind of person would the murderer be?"

Lin Jianqiu didn't hide much in front of him, sneered, and gave a straightforward definition: "It's scum."

Calling a pervert or a psychopath is flattering a murderer.

In terms of what he did, he was not worthy of being human at all.

Not even beasts.

Ye Huaishuang let out a "hmm", and didn't mind Lin Jianqiu venting her emotions in front of him.

And he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Lin Jianqiu said.

"What about the autopsy results?" Ye Huaishuang asked further.

"Blood loss to death, stabbed many times in a row, the meaning of mockery is very strong, the child is almost mutilated, and the sense of hatred and hostility is very strong."

"No drugs were used. The murder weapon was a kitchen knife. He should have worn gloves and had no fingerprints."

"From the perspective of adults' wounds, a strong man who is not very strong does not rule out the possibility of doing it deliberately, but the possibility of comprehensive consideration is very small. It should be a tall woman, or a short man, or it may be a developmental injury. period child."

"child?"

"Yes. It should be said that they are students."

"Because it was dismembered?" Ye Huaishuang immediately realized the subconscious emphasis in Lin Jianqiu's words, "Is there something wrong with the child's corpse?"

"Not a professional medical student, it's a typical dismemberment attempt after learning some medical knowledge online or in books."

"And the murderer had already done experiments on animals before that."

"It was a temporary decision for the little girl to go home with her father, and the murderer may also have made a temporary decision. It is unlikely that he would try it long in advance."

"Generally speaking, young people, especially students, are the most curious and capable of learning, and they are the most accessible to those things."

To put it simply, it is a darker secondary disease.

"Of course there is only such a possibility." Lin Jianqiu added, "There is no evidence for now."

Killing Mr. Dai should have been decided in advance.

From this point of view alone, adult women and even men who have emotional entanglements are more likely to be involved.

If someone else was sitting here, maybe he couldn't help but refute Lin Jianqiu's guess.

Ye Huaishuang did not question him, but guessed along his train of thought: "If he is a student, there will be parents at home—will his parents know?"

"If there is an abnormality in their child, it is impossible for parents to not notice it at all."

"They panic even more than the kids themselves."

Lin Jianqiu gave a "tsk", leaned on the back of the chair and slightly raised his head to look at the ceiling, and sighed softly.

"It's a pity that I can't see anyone." This is something he has always complained about.

I just hope that Officer Gao will work harder to get the investigation report out.

better than nothing.

Compared with those step-by-step investigation procedures, Lin Jianqiu is actually better at observing people.

It's not impossible to deduce the case from detailed clues, but it's much less efficient than watching people.

Having seen a lot, it naturally becomes an instinctive sense of smell.

In the face of keywords such as death, blood, murderer, etc., he is much more sensitive than ordinary people.

This is the cruel capital piled up with countless blood.

In his previous life, he had a special passport because of this.

In some emergencies or bottlenecks, he can even become a pointer for the direction of the police investigation.

It wasn't until the end that his psychological and physical problems were exposed that he himself chose to quit and write novels instead.

At that time, he thought that he would never touch those things again in the future.

Who would have imagined that if you close your eyes, you won't be able to go to hell, but you will continue to live in a different world and a different shell.

Now Lin Jianqiu is a little shrimp who can't do anything, and has even returned to the situation where he occasionally worries about survival.

The waiter brought the food to the table, and brought a drink with an ambiguous smile.

"This is an extra gift from our store."

"The rest of the dishes are ready, please take your time, both of you."

A large cup full of pink strawberry juice was placed on the table, but unfortunately it was sealed, and there was only one straw, which was divided into two love cups from the middle.

Obviously couples.

The two sitting at the table stared at the cup and fell silent for a moment.

Ye Huaishuang pushed the cup in front of Lin Jianqiu: "Drink it, I don't like juice."

Lin Jianqiu didn't refuse either.

After running outside for a day, he was indeed tired, hungry and thirsty, all supported by willpower.

This simple episode was not taken seriously by the two of them at all.

While eating, they were still discussing the case.

"If you want a witness, you can apply to Liang Shangxin." Ye Huaishuang reminded Lin Jianqiu, "Although he is not mainly responsible for that case, it's okay to say hello."

"Are you talking about Captain Liang?" Lin Jianqiu propped his chin and bit the straw, feeling a little helpless, "Even if we have met each other, I have to be able to give a convincing reason. I am what an outsider says."

He raised his eyelids, glanced at Ye Huaishuang on the opposite side, and sighed: "Not everyone is like Teacher Ye."

Full of whimsical ideas.

And he was surprisingly courageous, even daring to believe casually the words of a person who had never met him a few times.

But this is also one of the reasons why he is willing to go out for dinner with Ye Huaishuang.

The messy thoughts have to be sorted out, and Lin Jianqiu has to restrain himself from saying what he once took for granted.

He didn't want to be brought in to investigate whether Yitong had been involved in multiple homicides.

In this world, of course, he can't find any excuses to prove his experience.

Perhaps Ye Huaishuang was the only one who was not afraid of those murders, nor would he keep asking him where he came to those conclusions.

It seemed that no matter what Lin Jianqiu said, he would believe it.

However, it is not perfunctory and blind obedience.

Lin Jianqiu could feel that Ye Huaishuang agreed with his guess to a certain extent.

Ye Huaishuang noticed that Lin Jianqiu's eyes were subtle, and couldn't help but pause: "What's wrong?"

Lin Jianqiu sighed: "Maybe we were half-brothers who had been separated for many years in the previous life."

Ye Huaishuang: ...?

late at night.

Team Liang, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, received a message from Ye Huaishuang.

It was a private account, and it was not an important clue.

That means it doesn't matter if you look at it or not.

However, when Ye Huaishuang took the initiative to send messages outside of work, there are only a handful of times. Team Liang has been so busy recently that his emotional anxiety is difficult to resolve. He occasionally wants to relax his mind a little during the break.

So he clicked on that message.

Ye Huaishuang just came here to express her gratitude.

[The restaurant you recommended tastes good. ]

Team Liang temporarily pushed aside the case in his mind, leaving a little space to start searching for keywords about "that store".

After a few seconds, he finally remembered.

It was many, many days ago, when he realized the signs of his friend's iron tree blooming, he specially collected all the dating power from the Internet and colleagues.

Comes with a quest guide, as well as some internet celebrity dating sites.

Although he has no date and no time to date, since he is so popular among young people, it must have been verified by practice.

After Ye Huaishuang received it, there was no news for a long time, and then he was busy for several days. At first, Team Liang thought he was just a whim, and then forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, the delay function was only turned on.

Team Liang immediately regained consciousness, subconsciously sat up straight, and sent a series of messages to ask questions.

Who did you go with, when did it happen, where did you go, what did you do, was the other party moved, and you agreed on the spur of the moment...

Ye Huaishuang blocked the rest of the words that he hadn't had time to type yet.

[Invite Lin Jianqiu to have dinner. ]

Team Liang waited for a while but couldn't wait for the second reply.

He finally couldn't bear it and sent a message to ask again.

[This is gone? ]

[and then? ]

[Didn't you guys talk about something during the meal? ]

Didn't you hold hands and go for a walk together after eating, make an appointment for a meeting, and then stop by and sit at home or something?

As the saying goes...

Why don't you do something else?

Ye Huaishuang replied: [We chatted. ]

Team Liang: [What did you talk about? ]

Ye Huaishuang: [The case. ]

Team Liang: "..." Has he seen this scene before?

Team Liang was silent for a moment, then deleted the remaining questions little by little, and then deleted the "You deserve to be single" that he just typed up, and changed it to a more tactful sentence of contempt.

Fortunately, he thought Ye Huaishuang was finally enlightened.

Sure enough, he thought too much.

On the other side, just as Ye Huaishuang walked downstairs to the dormitory, she heard a "ding" sound from her mobile phone.

He clicked on it, and Team Liang sent the last message.

[Miss Ye, I suggest that you deeply reflect on the reasons why you have been single until now. ]

Ye Huaishuang:?
