Lin Xi's car drove all the way to the downstairs of her community, and the urban home is a community that says the new is not new, and the old is not old.

The car stalled.

"Would you like to go up for a cup of tea?" she invited.

"Good. ”

The last time I was here, it was fourteen years ago, and I didn't have a chance to sit at her house.

This time, Lin Xi was a little restrained.

Fox took out the key to open the door, turned on the light in the living room, and took a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet and gave it to him.

Lin Xi looked at the gray men's slippers on the ground, frowned, and did not change his shoes immediately.

"I'm sorry, let's put on my brother's slippers first. ”

Lin Xi stretched his brows: "Your brother is not at home?"

"My brother has a girlfriend and is about to get married, so I don't live with him for a long time, you can sit casually. ”

While Lin Xi was changing her shoes, Fox walked to the side of the living room, where she lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner, and there were two pictures on the candlestick.

"Hmm...... Do you drink milk tea? I make it myself. ”

"Good. Lin Xi pulled out the stool next to the dining table and sat down.

Fox mixed two cups of milk tea, and handed one to him, "You wait for me for a while, I'll go wash my face." ”

"It's fine. ”

When Fox walked into the bathroom, Lin Xi dared to boldly look around her home, the home was very clean, there were not many things, and from his angle, he could faintly see the incense on the candlestick and the two photos behind.

Suddenly, he heard a milky cat meow, and a kitten was rubbing against his trouser leg under the stool.

After a while, Lin Xi heard the sound of slippers coming from behind her, and the person who came took two facial tissues to wipe the water off her face, looking plain, this is her unmodified appearance.

Fox saw that the milk tea in his cup did not move.

"If there's anything, just ask. ”

He crouched down and picked up the kitten, then sat down across from him.

Lin Xi was also polite: "You have been in Galai now, is this your job?"

"No, I don't go often, I usually teach the children in the art exam to draw. ”

"Then why did you suddenly go to Gale ten years ago?"

She raised her eyes to look at him and looked at each other: "Lin Xi, my surname is Wei, then you should also know that the area is surnamed Wei." ”

"I know, Wei Chenwan, then you should also understand why I asked you this, it seems that you have forgotten what I told you before I left. At this point, he was a little excited.

"I haven't forgotten that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, you know. She took a sip of milk tea, "I've been ready to disturb for a lifetime from the beginning, Lin Xi, you can't control it." ”

Lin Xi was silent for a long time, drank all the milk tea in the cup, and stood up, "I'm leaving." ”

Wei Chenwan didn't look up at him until she heard the sound of the door closing, and the kitten screamed grandmaly, as if to comfort her.

She also wanted to be an ordinary person, but no one gave her this opportunity.

......

Lin Xi closed the car door and covered the upper half of his face with his right hand to calm himself down.

She was right, her surname was Wei, which she couldn't choose from the time she was born. He couldn't empathize with her, even his father couldn't control this matter, what was he going to do.

Lin Xi closed her eyes, but her mind was full of her voice and smile, if you want to know her, this matter may have to start from her youth.

Fourteen years ago.

Lin Xi, as a big "bully" in the city middle school, has been on the list of bad students for a long time, and the teacher also loves and hates him.

It is said that filial piety comes out under the stick, and Section Chief Lin of the Municipal Bureau has worked hard, but it is a pity that Lin Xi, the little rabbit cub, turned his grief and anger into rebellion, and the rebellion period is not only early, but also lasts for a long time.

And Lin Xi's mother is a doctor who aids Tibet, saving countless lives and helping the injured, but she is not at home all year round.

Many people sighed that the small saplings of the Lin family with red roots grew crooked.

After class, his fox friend and dog friend little brother Zhang Qi put his shoulder on his shoulder and asked, "Ah Xi, are you still going to play after school today?"

"Why don't you go, I was caught by my dad last week before I had enough fun, and of course I'm going to play today. ”

"Lin Xi, it's the third year of junior high school this year, and you have to take the high school entrance examination, you don't always go out with Zhang Qi. The squad leader warned him in righteous words.

"Class leader, you don't know Lin Xi's grades, what do you mean don't follow me, he will definitely be able to pass the high school entrance examination if he follows others. ”

"What about you, you countdown!" the squad leader ignored the two and turned to leave.

Lin Xi stood up and stretched.

His stinky father, as the backbone of the police station, rushed to the front as soon as he had a job, and at night in T City, he was not able to have fun in time, and his father who was out of the task was inadvertently discovered, Lin Xi was still biting a cigarette in his mouth, and Comrade Lin Yezhong went up and hit Lin Xi's head with a big-eared scraper, and then he was carried back to the bureau by his father with the back of his neck.

But his father is busy with work, where can he take care of him.

As soon as I walked out of the classroom, I heard the sound of applause from the next class.

"What's going on?" he looked up.

As a campus bag inquiry, Zhang Qi didn't know anything: "There is a transfer student from the next class, and she is a girl." ”

Lin Xi looked in through the glass on the classroom door, and it was a thin girl with a ponytail.

The third year of junior high school students took an exam every month, and this exam gave Wei Chenwan, a top student.

During the lunch break, Lin Xi and Zhang Qi came out of the school commissary, biting crushed ice in their mouths, and bumped into a person around the corner.

"I'm sorry. The other party said sorry softly, and then walked with his classmates to the commissary.

"Eh, it's the new one, what's it called? Zhang Qi squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, "Oh, Wei Chenwan, this name is really interesting, it sounds like a crepe." ”

"I hate this kind of academic bully the most, I look like I only know how to study. Lin Xi couldn't help but complain when he thought of Wei Chenwan's cold face, and deliberately said it very loudly.

"Hey, you, how are you qualified to speak to others. ”

"Cut, I just don't like it. ”

"Okay, okay, who made you like it, really, let's go. ”

Lin Xi's words, Wei Chenwan didn't care at all, she and her classmates carried a big bag of ice cream sticks back to the classroom and distributed them to everyone, and on the birthdays of the classmates in the class, she helped buy ice cream together.

As soon as school is over, Lin Xi and Zhang Qi went to mix again, Gale is the most famous bar in T City, the first floor is a bar, and the basement is a nightclub, playing deafening DJ dance music.

Lin Xi's booth is all friends who met in nightclubs, drinking and smoking together, in Zhang Qi's words, it is a fairy life.

At the bar, a small figure is silently serving wine for each table, and then letting it be delivered. Lin Xi inadvertently glanced at it, but he didn't see it clearly.

"Xiaowan, it's past twelve o'clock, you better go home, don't stay up until the early hours of the morning, you are still a student, although today is the weekend, but you are also in the third year of junior high school, it is time to take the school exam, don't be busy here all the time, you haven't arrived at this time." A sister at the bar said in Wei Chenwan's ear quite caringly.

"Alright then, I'll go change my clothes, throw these two bags of garbage away and go home. ”

In the booth.

"What's the matter? Why are you absent-minded little prince of the night show? Zhang Qi was already drinking and her face was red.

"Nothing. ”

Zhang Qi is an inexhaustible person, dancing on the dance floor to tease the big sister, and Lin Xi is rarely so quiet in the booth.

"Hey, Ah Xi, I just came in from the door, and I saw a lot of police at the door, it can't be your dad who is coming to arrest you. ”

"Fuck off, my dad didn't have time to take care of me, how could he come to arrest me. Lin Xi took a nonchalantly puff on his cigarette and raised his eyes to look.

I couldn't see this, and two policemen walked down the stairs and said a few words to today's nightclub foreman, one of whom was his father.

No way!

Lin Xi hurriedly pinched the cigarette in his hand and drank two sips of lemonade, he still remembers the last time his father slapped him.

What's going on?

Lin Xi grabbed his bag: "Zhang Qi, I may be about to slip away, I saw my father." ”

Before Zhang Qi could react, in the blink of an eye, Lin Xi ran away.

Lin Xi ran upstairs from the nightclub on the basement floor, and set up a cordon in an alley next to Galai, where several police cars were parked, and Lin Xi took a few steps there.

What's going on?

"Eh, may I ask ...... here" Before Lin Xi could finish the whole sentence, he had already seen several forensic doctors get out of the car.

He is Lin Yezhong's son, and when he saw the forensic doctor at the scene, he should have known that there was a murder case, and a body was pulled out in a garbage bin in a small alley.

Lin Xi usually doesn't like to watch this kind of thing, but he saw a girl under the protection of a female policeman.

Why is she here?

He stepped forward in a few steps.

The policewoman saw him first: "Eh, section chief, your son Lin Xiaoxi." "They like to call him Lin Xiaoxi throughout the bureau.

Lin Yezhong still had unfinished business at hand, and he didn't have time to take care of Lin Xi, knowing that his son would not get into trouble, so he went with him.

"Auntie, what's the matter, she's my classmate. Lin Xi knew that he couldn't ask a reason for a while, so it was better to find out the meaning first.

The policewoman saw that there were a lot of people around, so she could only whisper: "You also saw that there are dead people here, and this little girl called the police." ”

Lin Xi looked over, and Wei Chenwan's face was a little pale.

"Lin Xiaoxi, it just so happens that she is your classmate, you can take care of it first, now the situation is more chaotic, I'll help." ”

"Good. ”

After the policewoman explained, she went to the cordon.

"Hey, you're still ...... Okay?" asked Lin Xi cautiously.

"I'm from the next class, my name is Lin Xi. ”

Wei Chenwan did not speak.

Lin Xi thought that she would be very scared, trembling, and crying, but Wei Chenwan had no expression. Lin Xi could only accompany her like this first.

"I seem to ...... I saw him. In the noisy environment, Lin Xi seemed to hear her speak.

"What?"

"I saw him. ”

Lin Xi then realized what she was talking about, "You said you saw the murderer?"

Wei Chenwan nodded.

"Dad, Dad!" Lin Xi called Dad as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lin Yezhong had never seen his son's expression, so he took off his white gloves and walked over.

"Dad, she's my classmate, and she said she seemed to see the murderer. ”

Lin Yezhong beckoned to a clerk, "Little girl, did you really see it?"

"Less than 1.75 meters tall, about 40 years old, jeans and canvas shoes, wearing a peaked cap, eyes a little fierce, and a sunken nose bone. ”

The clerk on the side quickly recorded it.

"Little girl, do you remember any features?"

"I don't remember exactly. ”

"Little girl, why are you sure that he is the suspect?" Lin Yezhong asked very carefully.

This season, he wore a long-sleeved stand-up collar jacket and gloves. "It's something that people think is abnormal.

"Thank you very much for the clues, and you may have to go back to the bureau with us later. Xiao Zhang, follow this to the portrait and look for monitoring. ”

In Lin Xi's eyes, when she said these words just now, Wei Chenwan was a little too calm, this shouldn't be the performance of a teenage girl.

As a child who grew up as a police chief, he was not only often cared for by his father's colleagues, but also saw the performance of many witnesses, no one of whom was as calm as Wei Chenwan.

Then I thought that it was indeed my own prejudice to say that I hated people at noon today.

Back in the city bureau, of course, Lin Xi followed, and the policewoman in the office affectionately called her Xiaowan, then made a record registration, and contacted her family by the way.

The police station in the middle of the night is particularly brightly lit because of sudden cases, and in this place in T City, every policeman must have such an awareness, the darker the place, the more there is an abyss that cannot be seen.

Wei Chenwan held her bag and sat there quietly, like a porcelain doll, Lin Xi just looked at him.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and a dusty man walked in, his clothes slightly disheveled.

"Where's my sister?" shouted as soon as he entered.

was led by the police officer and walked over, saw Wei Chenwan sitting in the corner, and ran over quickly.

Wei Chenwan looked up and saw him, and immediately stood up, her bag fell to the ground, her calves softened, and then she threw herself into the man's arms, and the tears in her eyes fell down, immediately wetting a small piece of the man's shirt.

Lin Xi saw it in her eyes, she had removed all the shells from her body, showing her most vulnerable side in front of people who were extremely trusting.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, my brother is here, don't be afraid. ”

The police officer on the side handed over a few tissues, and the man hurriedly wiped her tears, "Wan'er, don't cry, I know you were scared just now, my brother is here." ”

After some comfort, Wei Chenwan slowly eased up, and Lin Xi saw her father and the man walk aside and talk a few words, and then the man led her away.

"Lao Lin, it's him. Officer Xing looked in the direction they were leaving.

"yes, they're not as good in T City as they used to be. ”

Lin Xi didn't understand.

"Wei Yin, a generation of influential figures in T City, both husband and wife were poisoned/died at home, and they took pity on these two children. ”

"It's Wei Yin's daughter, I've never seen a witness so calm. ”

Even if ordinary people don't know Wei Yin, Lin Xi, as the son of the chief of the criminal investigation section of the city bureau, will not have heard of this name, Wei Yin is a controversial figure in black and white, once almost single-handedly covered the sky in T City, was murdered ten years ago, and the murderer has not been found.

He almost didn't recognize the appearance just now, so Wei Chenwan is Wei Ziang's sister and Wei Yin's daughter?
