"Stop on the side of the road in front, there is a meat dumpling shop over there, it tastes very good, you can buy two of them and go back for breakfast." Xiang Kun suddenly said to Lao Xia, who was driving.

Xia Libing nodded, stepped aside, and got out of the car to buy meat dumplings.

She didn't wonder why Xiang Kun knew that she was hungry now, whether it was hearing the rumbling sound of her stomach or some other way, with Xiang Kun's current sensory ability, it was not difficult to make this judgment.

Back in the community rented by Lao Xia, Xiang Kun took clothes, shoes and backpacks, and returned to her house with her upper body and bare heels.

Relying on his super sensory ability to grasp the movements of the surrounding residents in advance, Xiang Kun took Lao Xia and successfully avoided other residents, from the parking lot to the door of Lao Xia's house, he didn't meet anyone.

However, when Lao Xia took the key to open the door, there was still a middle-aged woman next door who happened to go out with her son, and when she saw Xiang Kun standing behind Lao Xia, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Morning, Dr. Xia. The middle-aged woman opened the door, Xia Libing nodded and greeted.

Xia Libing also nodded to her: "Morning." ”

Then the middle-aged woman looked curiously at Xiang Kun behind her: "...... is this?"

Xia Libing said simply: "My friend, I fell into the lake." ”

"Huh?" the middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask again why she fell into the lake.

However, Lao Xia naturally had no intention of explaining further, and after opening the door, he walked in directly.

Xiang Kun, who was "thrown into the lake", could only smile and nod to the neighbor, and said hello to him, and followed the door.

Just as Xiang Kun was taking a bath and Xia Libing was eating breakfast, there was a knock on the door again.

After Xia Libing opened the door, the third aunt said with concern while walking inside: "Xiaoice, I just arrived at the hospital, I heard Director Wang say that you took leave, are you not feeling well?"

As she was talking, she suddenly noticed a pair of hiking boots by the door.

There is nothing wrong with the style of the shoes themselves, it is too normal for Xia Libing to wear this kind of shoes, but the problem is that these shoes look obviously bigger than Xia Libing's own shoes placed next to him, and these shoes should be men's.

Then she saw a coat in the living room, casually placed on a chair, which looked like it should also be a man's.

I heard the sound of water running in the bathroom in my ears, and looked at the bathroom with the door closed, apparently someone was taking a shower inside.

The third aunt's mouth slowly grew, and she looked at Xia Libing with a surprised expression.

"There's no discomfort, it's just a little personal to deal with. Xia Libing explained, and then she noticed the change in the third aunt's gaze and her expression, and probably analyzed the reason why the third aunt was surprised, but did not explain it.

The third aunt blinked, and after a few seconds of pause, she said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can handle private matters with peace of mind, uh...... Mr. Xiang should still be in Shencheng now, right?"

"He came back last night. Xia Libing said.

"Could it be...... ...... taking a shower now?" asked the third aunt as she glanced in the direction of the bathroom.

"Yes. Xia Libing analyzed from the expression and reaction of the third aunt that the third aunt should have had a misunderstanding in some direction, but if she wanted to explain, she would definitely have to make up an excuse, if the third aunt continued to ask, she would continue to lie, it would be too troublesome, and it might expose some secret information about Xiang Kun, so she simply didn't say anything more.

The third aunt nodded, remembered something, and said: "By the way, I have a document on that Camry, give me the car key, I'll take it down, and the SUV I drove over will be left for you." ”

Xia Libing said: "No need, I can drive the Camry, there are some things in the car that are just going to be given to the third aunt, and I will go down with you." ”

So, the curious third aunt followed Xia Libing downstairs to the parking lot.

When she saw a box of roses and two handfuls of carnations on the back seat of the Camry, the third aunt was a little surprised at first, but then she was suddenly "sure enough", and at the same time thought of what day it was, and she also felt some emotion and envy in her heart.

It's good to be young.

When I went upstairs before, because Xiang Kun wanted to take shoes, clothes, and luggage, and Xia Libing wanted to take beef soup and meat dumplings, the flowers were naturally thrown in the car.

Xia Libing took out a handful of carnations and handed them to the third aunt: "Give it to you." ”

"Oh, it's all about this, this Valentine's Day is supposed to be a holiday for you young people, you can just have it. Although she said this, the third aunt still happily took the handful of carnations, and then looked at the other handful of carnations in the back seat of the car, and asked, "Who is the other handful for?"

She knew that Xia Libing's parents were still abroad, and in Thornton City, the only female elder was her, and she had some guesses in her heart.

"It's for Kun's mother. Xia Libing said.

The third aunt said again in her heart, "That's true", then took the document and explained with a smile: "...... Hey, forget it at night, I'll come to the house with Xiang Kun for dinner tomorrow. ”

Xia Libing shook his head: "There have been things recently." ”

"It's okay, when you all have free time, just find a time to come home. The third aunt said.

Although the soul of gossip in her heart is burning, the third aunt knows the character of this niece, so she still holds back a lot of questions, and looks for an opportunity to knock on the side again.

After sending off the third aunt, Xia Libing returned home, and Xiang Kun had already taken a shower and changed his clothes. As for the pants that were changed, they were dirty and torn, and there was no need to wash them, so they had been stuffed directly into the garbage bag and packed up.

After Xia Libing continued to eat the meat dumplings and beef soup, the two went out together, ready to go to the farm that had been contacted before to buy meat rabbits.

Originally, Xiang Kun was worried that he would toss in Zihuan Mountain until the evening and come back, and he didn't have time to prepare, so he asked Lao Xia to help him prepare, but since he had come back early, there was no reason to let Lao Xia go alone.

However, before going to the farm, they first went back to Xiang Kun's house.

Let Lao Xia wait for him in the car first, Xiang Kun took the handful of carnations, went home and gave it to his mother, and then excused himself to come back this time on the company's business, and he would not go home for a few days, so he had to leave.

In fact, he originally wanted to wait until the end of this blood drink before going home, so as not to ask too many questions from his mother and have to make up lies.

But thinking that the handful of carnations cost hundreds of yuan, and he would give them after he drank blood and fell asleep, it didn't make so much sense, and it was a bit wasteful.

Seeing his son come back suddenly and send flowers, Xiang Dad and Mom were surprised and surprised.

"If you want to come back to do something, you can do things, you can go on a business trip, you can buy a yarn flower? Can this flower be fried or steamed? You can't eat it, you can't use it, buy this to make a ball? You have that money, why don't you just give me a red envelope? Won't I buy you a few catties of pork to eat? And buy flowers...... You know how to buy flowers for your mother, why don't you know how to buy flowers and send them...... Hey, by the way, what time is it today? It's very expensive to buy flowers today, right? You kid, ...... you" After Xiang Ma counted a few words, she suddenly paused and stared at Xiang Kun suspiciously.

"You said you just came back now, just got off the train?" asked Xiang Ma again.

Xiang Kun keenly noticed that her mother had just sniffed slightly, and she knew that something was wrong, and she smelled the smell of the shower liquid on her body that she had just taken a bath.

"I first went to the hotel arranged by the company to take a shower before I came, oops, Mom, I won't talk about it first, my colleagues are still waiting for me below, I'll go first, and I'll come back when I'm done." Xiang Kun said and walked out the door.

Xiang's mother changed her attitude suddenly, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can do your own business, this flower is good, Mom is very satisfied, you concentrate on doing things, don't worry." ”

Xiang Kun couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew what his mother had thought of, but he couldn't explain it at this time.

After Xiang Kun went out, Xiang Ma's mother quickly ran to the balcony and looked outside the community, but the angle of their balcony couldn't see where Xia Libing parked, so she looked at it for a while, and then she could only retract her gaze and return to the living room.

In the living room, Xiang Dad was holding the handful of carnations and complained: "This kid, I really don't know what to think, Valentine's Day to buy flowers for my mother, isn't this a waste of money? ”

"Eat, eat, eat, you know to eat, I think you are jealous when you see that your son only sends me flowers. Xiang Ma gave him a blank look and said.

Xiang Dad was stunned: "Hey, didn't you teach him this just now, didn't you still let him directly wrap red envelopes and buy you a few catties of pork?"

Xiang Ma squinted his eyes and said, "You say, with your son's character, under what circumstances will he send flowers to his mother on Valentine's Day?"

Xiang Dad frowned, scratched his head, thought about it, and said thoughtfully: "When there is so much money that there is nowhere to spend?

Xiang's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes, and sighed: "You all know that I won't be happy to send flowers, I will feel sorry for the money, and my son will not know? Today is not Mother's Day, nor is it my birthday, he will specially pick up flowers on the most expensive day to buy flowers and send them to me? Think about it, Lao Xiang! Valentine's Day!"

"I know it's Valentine's Day, it's expensive to buy flowers, ......" Xiang Dad's eyes were straight at first, a little confused, but then he seemed to remember something, and slapped his thigh suddenly: "Hey! I see! He wants to buy flowers for the girl, and then buy a bouquet of flowers for his mother by the way! Maybe there are activities like full reduction, with the character of this kid, he will definitely get together to participate in the event, and by the way, he will be filial to his mother! That is to say...... He came back today, not necessarily arranged by the company, maybe he came back specifically for Valentine's Day?

Xiang Ma looked at the flower shop logo on the flower packaging: "The name of this flower shop is a little familiar......

Then she took her mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the flower shop logo, looked at it, and said with a smile: "This is a store opened by my old sister and daughter-in-law, and I have also forwarded it to the circle of friends." ”

Xiang Dad frowned: "You don't want to take it back, do you......?"

"Where do you want to go!!" Xiang's mother couldn't help but raise her hand and punch her husband.

Xiang's mother began to contact the old sister, and asked for the phone number of the old sister's daughter-in-law, and she happened to be helping in the flower shop at this time, so she asked her if a tall bald guy had gone to buy carnations in the morning.

Xiang's mother originally just wanted to determine whether her son had bought other flowers, such as roses, in addition to carnations, to confirm her inference.

Unexpectedly, the old sister's daughter-in-law said that she didn't see a bald head to buy flowers in the morning, but asked her partner, saying that a tall, glasses bald guy came to buy flowers with his girlfriend last night, bought two handfuls of carnations and a box of roses, and the bald brother's girlfriend was a big beauty with a ponytail, very tall, and particularly long legs.

Ponytail, tall, long legs, big beauty, who else could this be?

After Xiang Ma hung up the phone, he began to have fun non-stop, which provoked Xiang Dad to ask curiously next to him.

......

In the canteen of the sub-bureau, Xu Zhao looked at his young partner Zhao Feng while eating and looked at his mobile phone, and the meat on the chopsticks stopped at his mouth for a long time without eating, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you looking at, it's so fascinating." ”

Zhao Feng came back to his senses and pushed his mobile phone in front of Xu Zhao: "Someone on the Internet said that I witnessed the phoenix last night, just near our Thorn Tong and Zihuan Mountain. ”

"Phoenix?" Xu Zhao didn't even look at his phone, and he already scoffed: "Now these people, really for the sake of traffic, do everything they can, dare to say any nonsense, dare to make any fake." ”

"Somebody took a video and it didn't look like a special effect. I watched the news today, and there was indeed abnormal weather in Zihuan Mountain last night, with a short thunderstorm, and then a burst of heavy rain. If this video was really taken near Zihuan Mountain last night, I guess it may be a small aircraft such as a drone, which is still a bit of a security risk. Zhao Feng naturally does not believe in the so-called "Phoenix".

Xu Zhao turned on the video, and he could vaguely see that something that seemed to be on fire in the air was flying farther and farther, but he couldn't see what it was at all, and it was obvious that the flame was getting smaller and smaller until it was extinguished.

After turning off the video, Zhao Feng showed him the content of the original post again:

"I saw the phoenix today! It's absolutely true! I don't deceive people! I'm from Yew Village, just on the edge of Zihuan Mountain. Last night, there was a catastrophe in Zihuan Mountain, do you know? That thunder is definitely not an ordinary thunder! This phoenix is a successful catastrophe! I can't sleep in the morning, so I go to the roof to play a game and see it with my own eyes! The video is definitely not fake!"

There is also a zoomed-in analysis of the video screenshot below, some people say that the fire ball looks a bit like a bird inciting its wings, some people say that it is ridiculously fake, 3 Mao special effects, some scold the landlord for fake, Xiuzhen has seen too much, some say that the thunderstorm in Zihuan Mountain last night is indeed a bit terrifying, some began to shatter the physical explanation of the void, some began to popularize meteorological knowledge, and many people began to make wishes......

After reading it, Xu Zhao also shook his head: "It looks a bit like a drone, fortunately, the fire is extinguished later, otherwise if it falls into the mountain and causes a mountain fire, it will be troublesome." I'll go back and mention it to the police officer, this thing needs to be checked. ”

After getting the phone back, Zhao Feng nodded in agreement: "That's what I meant." ”

"By the way, you and your classmate, are you still looking into that thing with a lot of arms?" Xu Zhao remembered something and asked again.

"Not recently, no clues. Zhao Feng actually wanted to discuss it with Lao Xu, but he also knew Lao Xu's opinion on the matter they were investigating, so he hesitated for a moment, and decided to wait until there was more definite information or evidence.
