Fire to the Abyss

Liu Xiran only recalled it after the two of them walked out, and she always felt that the atmosphere between those two people seemed to be different.She frowned and thought hard for a while, before she came to a conclusion—the sense of distance between the two was different. It turned out that Xu Luo would not take the initiative to pull Xia Lin, and Xia Lin would not hook his neck intimately.

Although some boys have always had a weak sense of distance, such as Xia Lin, who has no taboos with the same sex, but Xu Luo is different. He treats same-sex and opposite-sex equally, and will deliberately avoid all physical contact if possible.Xia Lin also took care of him, always kept a safe distance from him, never hooked up with him, and acted like a gentleman in front of him.

But on this day, the distance between the two had a tendency to return to zero.

Liu Xiran suddenly had a bold idea—could it be that Xu Luo finally confessed his love, and the confession was successful?God ah ah ah ah ah!

Liu Xiran's mind, which had been emptied just now, suddenly became crowded, filled with all kinds of wild and charming thoughts.She sat down and continued to maintain the dazed posture just now, but the aura was completely different.Her eyes were shining brightly, and there was an unknown smile on the corner of her mouth. It seemed that an invisible flame ignited from her body, causing the innocent people passing by to speed up their pace unconsciously.

At the same time, the young man next door finally figured out the complex relationship among the members of the mysterious detective agency—one is a daughter and the other is a father. In other words, this girl named Liu Xiran should be the granddaughter of that cool and handsome guy.

The young man nodded in satisfaction, subconsciously looked towards Liu Xiran, startled by her sudden aura, and involuntarily followed her line of sight to look slowly, it was still that poor orange trash can.The young man is not worried about the murder weapon hidden in it now, he is worried about whether the plastic trash can will be lit by Liu Xiran's burning eyes.

While the trash can was facing the issue of life and death, Xia Lin reprimanded Xu Luo rather unceremoniously: "You go? You go and recruit a rival in love for me? Why, do you think the support team is not prosperous enough?"

There was always a faint smile on Xu Luo's face. He didn't expect Xia Lin to be jealous because of such a trivial matter. To be honest, he felt a little proud.

"stop laughing!"

Xia Lin was furious and went straight to grab his face.

Xu Luo gently squeezed his wrist: "It's only 10 minutes, how can I be so charming?"

Xia Lin couldn't help but shook his head: "No, I say no, I just can't."

In this way, it was not Xu Luo who Liu Xiran called at noon, but Xia Lin who claimed to be the "high-end version of Xu Luo".Liu Xiran looked up and down this high-end version with the eyes of a monster, touched the beard that does not exist, and gave an evaluation: "Well, very good."

Xia Lin smiled triumphantly: "Nine points is enough, I know I am not so perfect."

Liu Xiran shook his index finger left and right: "No, the full score is [-]." After finishing speaking, Xia Lin ran away without a trace.

Xia Lin smiled very inscrutablely in the direction where Liu Xiran disappeared, and made an evaluation that he thought was quite objective: "Hmph, stupid human." Then he looked away and entered the working mode.

"Miss over there, do you want to know about the detective agency? You can find out if your boyfriend is cheating within a month~"

The little girls looked over suspiciously, and found that it was a handsome boy with a smile all over his face, but the smile didn't look friendly, which made people feel a little creepy.The little girls hurriedly withdrew their gazes and hurried away.

"Sigh, elementary school girls are really shy." Xia Lin didn't realize the key problem at all, and lay lazily on the table, watching the little girl go away.

At this time, Xia Lin saw a familiar figure walking towards this side in the crowd. She first looked back and forth nervously, and then slowly walked over among the crowd watching the performance of the hip-hop club next door.

Xia Lin maintained the posture of lying on the table, looked up at her, and said expressionlessly: "Young lady is not calling you."

The person who came was Chen Mubai, who was the head of Xu Luo's support team and one of the developers of the broken game "Undead Movement".Xia Lin had been at odds with her in the past, and Xu Luo didn't have a girlfriend, so Xia Lin, who was often in pairs with him, naturally became the object of her jealousy.Xia Lin had nothing to do with Xu Luo at first, but when she was killed by her eyes, she responded to someone who was more vicious. After establishing a relationship with Xu Luo, Xia Lin felt that she shouldn't be so "suffering" and would usually come over when she looked at her. From time to time, I deliberately interacted with Xu Luo a little intimately, and then turned around and gave her a provocative smile.

In this way, although the two of them didn't say a word, they were actually sworn enemies who had exchanged eye contact countless times.

Chen Mubai didn't care too much about Xia Lin's tone of death, she leaned forward and said in a low voice, "No, Xia Lin, I have something to do with the detective agency."

As soon as Chen Mubai got close to Xia Lin, he smelled the perfume on her body. Xia Lin immediately stood up from the table, straightened up and distanced herself from her, only then did he realize that Chen Mubai's face was quite tense, and his expression became serious: " What are you doing with the detective agency?"

Chen Mubai looked around nervously again, causing Xia Lin to stretch his neck and follow suit. Except for the crowd who went to eat in the cafeteria, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Chen Mubai frowned and sized Xia Lin up: "Are you the only one in the detective agency?"

Within 3 minutes, Xia Lin had already been scrutinized by two people who were not friendly, and said coolly: "I'm sorry, I have the best brain in the whole company, if you are not satisfied, just get out of the way, don't hinder my business. "

"I didn't mean that," Chen Mubai hurriedly shook his head, licked his lips, and after a while, he whispered with determination: "I feel like someone is following me recently."

Xia Lin was not frightened by her nervous appearance, she put her long legs slanted on the table, crossed her arms, and said lazily, "How do you say it?" The tone was as relaxed as talking about the weather.

Chen Mubai looked around again: "What are you talking about here?"

"It's fine to say here, as long as you don't look around with your eyes every three seconds, no one will notice," Xia Lin looked around, "But there is only one chair here, and you are wronged to stand, and there is no tea Yes, please speak quickly."

Chen Mubai nodded, subconsciously wanted to look around again, Xia Lin added patiently: "I've looked around here, no one is looking at you, don't worry. For dance music, even if someone sees it, they won’t be able to hear what you’re talking about, just play it more naturally, and treat it like a chat with a friend.”

Xia Lin felt that he had exhausted all his patience in this life. He originally thought that this woman was playing some kind of trick to get close to Xu Luo, so he just sent her away, but when he saw her at a close distance, there was an ominous feeling A premonition suddenly popped into his mind, after all, he didn't remember Chen Mubai being so nervous.He felt that he might have been infected by his brother's nervousness, and that even the slightest disturbance would touch his sensitive nerves, and he was almost in danger.So he couldn't leave Chen Mubai alone, but no matter what, the grievances between the two of them were almost piled up into a Himalaya, so he didn't have a good face towards Chen Mubai.

Chen Mubai is a bit short, slightly chubby, with a round face, a pair of metal-rimmed glasses on her ears, and fair skin. Xia Lin always felt that after she took off the glasses, she looked like a peanut with its coat peeled off.Her eyes are not big, but when facing Xia Lin, she can shoot an amazingly lethal "ray" from her small eyes. Xia Lin has never understood why these girls are so obsessed with others, and they are still obsessed with everyone the same one.Regarding this problem, Liu Xiran explained to him that this is the same as chasing stars, but Xu Luo is closer to their lives, which can make them feel more satisfied.Of course, classmate Xia, who is not star-chasing, still can't understand, but after being with Xu Luo, he somewhat understands why those girls chose him. This person seems to have no dead ends at all.

Chen Mubai's small eyes, which are usually used as murder weapons, didn't shoot out knives at the moment, and they looked a little dim. Xia Lin carefully observed her face. The broken hair before was a bit messy.She stood cautiously beside Xia Lin, not daring to get too close to him, for fear that he might not be able to hear her clearly, and she didn't dare to stand too far away from him, so she kept her upper body leaning forward in an awkward posture, and whispered.

"I noticed something was wrong when Xiaobai was stolen from my house. Oh, Xiaobai is my little Pomeranian. Because I have already started an internship in the company, I rented a house near the company. I was lucky. Well, I rented on the third floor, and outside the window is the roof of the front row of commercial shops. You can go there by opening the window, which is equivalent to having a super-large balcony. Last year, my friend’s home Bomei gave birth to a baby, and I carried it back from her One was raised on the roof of the building. I built a shed for Xiaobai, bought an extended rope, and tied him to the post during the day, so that he had a certain space for movement and would not run around. Because the building Usually no one came up, I went back from work to take Xiao Bai for a walk, and then tied him to the roof of the building.

"Later, when I came home from get off work, I found that Xiaobai was missing, even with the dog leash. I immediately called the police. A kind policeman helped me find it and adjusted the surrounding surveillance, but the roof and the entrance and exit The stairs in the house were being monitored in a dead corner, but nothing was found in the end. I thought it was because of my negligence that I tied Xiaobai outside and it was stolen. The door to the roof was not locked, and everyone There is a chance to come up and take Xiaobai away.

"Xiaobai has been missing for a while, and I thought that maybe one day it will come back by itself. I haven't touched its things, and put them on the roof as they are. But one day, when I opened the window, I found The food bowl used by Xiaobai was turned over. One of the bricks covering the roof drainage ditch has sunk a bit. I am afraid that the food bowl will be blown away by the wind. I usually put its food bowl on the sunken brick. , was just caught by the two surrounding bricks, and it could be fixed there very well. But that day, the food bowl fell to the side, as if it was accidentally kicked by someone. I was in a hurry to go out that day, so I only looked at it I didn't bother with it at first glance, but when I came back to look at it later, the food bowl returned to its original position. And I also found that the entire outside of the window frame seemed to have been rubbed by someone. I thought it was a residential area. I asked the property owner to help clean it. The landlord mentioned it to him when he came, but he said that he hadn’t seen anyone come to clean the roof after living here for seven or eight years. He asked me if I was being watched by someone and told me to be careful as a girl. At night, lock the windows so that no one can climb into the house through the roof.

"Since then, I have been very scared. I have to lock the windows and draw the curtains at night before I dare to sleep. I thought I should be more vigilant. After a while, people who suspected of staring at me would give up, but this situation not only did not happen. It lessened, but intensified. Sometimes I feel that the flowers on the window sill have been moved, and the garbage that was placed at the door to be thrown has been turned over. When I go out, there are always eyes following me. I, I really don’t know what to do. Now I can't even open the windows..."

At the end of Chen Mubai's speech, his voice was already trembling badly, and his eyes were filled with water, and he finally called back a bit of Xia Lin's conscience.

Xia Lin stood up from the chair, pushed Chen Mubai up, and thoughtfully took out a pack of tissues and handed it to her: "Didn't you call the police? Or notify your family."

Chen Mubai wiped away his tears: "I told you, but they didn't believe me, they thought I was in a trance because I lost Xiaobai, the police came to investigate, but found nothing, gradually they didn't believe me...you ,You believe me?"

Chen Mubai tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked at Xia Lin, but because of the relationship between tears and myopia, he still couldn't see Xia Lin's expression clearly.

Xia Lin didn't say whether he believed it or didn't believe it. He folded his arms and asked, "When did Xiaobai get stolen?"

Chen Mubai lowered his head and thought about it, and replied: "I remember it was not long after Christmas. It was very cold during that time. I just bought a thick cushion for Xiaobai, and it disappeared within a few days..."

As soon as the word "Christmas" came out, a chill ran up Xia Lin's spine.

"Chen Mubai, you met me in the coffee shop on Christmas day, tell me about that day from beginning to end, I want to know every detail."

When Xia Lin said this, she put away her tone of discussing the weather, her voice was low and tense, Chen Mubai wiped away her tears, put on her glasses and looked up at him, only to find that his face was frighteningly pale.
