Chapter 68: Birthday
"Let's go. Chang An walked over and said to him.
Now that all the things have been bought, after a day of shopping, Chang An felt tired and had no intention of going any further, so he stepped onto the escalator and went all the way down.
When he got home that day, Chang An collapsed on the sofa, motionless. It wasn't until it was getting dark outside the window that she got up from the couch, went to the bathroom to put some water, and got in.
The water was hot and steaming, and it rose, making her whole body relax and dissipate her exhaustion. After about an hour of soaking in a hot bath, Chang An suddenly felt alive and in good spirits.
As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Chang An heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.
However, the voice seemed to be coming from the other side of the door. It's dinner right now, who will come to Gu Li?
Chang An hurriedly wiped his hair and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, I saw Ji Li standing at the door, still holding something in his hand.
"Brother Muzi, what's wrong?"
Chang An saw Ji Li's serious face, and couldn't help but move slightly.
"The Liuheshan burial case has been solved, and I am making the final closing report, but I found some problems in the sorting process. When the police searched Li Hao's dormitory, they found these. ”
Ji Li opened the document bag in his hand and handed the contents to Chang An.
Chang An took it, it was a few photos of on-site evidence, her eyebrows gradually frowned, and she was shocked: "Blood-colored numbers?
Ji Li nodded, "Yes, I don't know what these have to do with the case, so I'll come over to see Professor Gu right away." ”
At this time, the door was opened, and Gu Li was standing inside the door, wearing pajamas, a little lazy.
"What's wrong?" his low, melodious voice rang out.
Ji Li frowned and repeated what he had just said: "During the search, on the edge of the corner of Li Hao's bed, a blood-colored number was found in a more hidden corner, mixed with English letters.
It was found that the same numbers and letters also appeared in his diary, and they were repeated many times. I don't know what this has to do with that case. ”
Gu Li took a look at it, pondering and silent, the blood-colored number string seemed to be messy, and there was no rule to follow.
“650e124ef1c7a98ac769f6bc7a1b01d4b1c72b6719debd01c7。 ”
Indeed, these numbers and English letters are mixed together, very messy, very mixed, and I have no idea what they mean.
"What else have you discovered?" asked Gu Li.
Ji Li took out another photo and handed it to Gu Li, "I also found a mysterious iconic mark, which looks a bit like X." ”
Gu Li took it, glanced at it, and then asked, "Where did you find it?"
In several hypnosis books, Li Hao also made a lot of annotations on the content of the books. There will be such a logo at the end of each book. ”
"Okay, got it. Gu Li handed the thing back to Ji Li, and said lightly: "This string of blood-colored numbers may be some kind of password, it has appeared many times, and it is prompting something."
Give it to the city's cryptographic experts to decipher it, and let me know when you get the results. Also, arrange for me, I want to talk to Li Hao immediately, only by going deep into his heart, can I know from him what the information about the blood color number is. ”
"Good. ”
However......
As soon as Gu Li arrived at the Public Security Bureau, the police at the detention center came with the news that Li Hao committed suicide in prison and hit the iron wall vigorously, wanting to end his life.
When the people from the detention center arrived, he was already on the ground, dying, although not life-threatening, but injured his skull, and he was still in a coma, when he would wake up, what it would be like to wake up, everything became unknown.
Li Hao's sins, as well as those mysterious blood-colored numbers, fell into an endless slumber because of his coma, and everything entered an unknown state......
Chang An looked at Gu Li, who had a gloomy face, and asked, "Then ...... What should we do now?"
Gu Li didn't turn his head to look at her, his gaze stayed in the distance, as if he was contemplating, and finally spit out a word from his thin lips: "Wait." ”
Also, at the moment, there seems to be no other way than waiting for Li Hao to wake up and waiting for the experts to decipher the code.
So, the two of them left the public security bureau one after the other, ready to go home.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the police station, he saw Zhao Jian standing a few meters away, waving at them to say hello.
Chang An approached with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to deliver an autopsy report. I happened to see you all there, so I waited at the door for a while. Zhao Jian replied with a warm smile.
"Wait for us?" Chang An was a little surprised, "What's the matter?"
"Have a meal, celebrate, celebrate. ”
"Eat, celebrate, what special day is today?" Chang An wondered.
Zhao Jian smiled, "Today is Gu Li's birthday. ”
Chang An thought to himself, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye. When she was talking to Zhao Jian, Gu Li had been standing quietly on the side and did not speak. His face was still a little gloomy, probably because he was unhappy that he couldn't talk to Li Hao.
But putting aside his gloomy face, he was dressed in a pure black suit, straight as a knife, with a long figure, delicate facial features, handsome and temperamental, standing on the side of the bustling road, it was so eye-catching.
Zhao Jian glanced at Gu Li, his gaze finally fell on Chang An, and asked with a smile, "You guys...... You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"No, I don't. Chang An answered truthfully.
After running for a day today, I was tired, how could I still think about cooking, and later, Ji Li came to the door, and I didn't care about eating.
At this moment, Gu Li, who had never spoken, spoke: "Let's go." ”
Zhao Jian and Chang An looked sideways at the same time, and saw him walking towards Zhao Jian's car with long legs. That back looks tall, but it is also lonely.
The three got into the car and drove all the way, eventually stopping at the door of a noodle restaurant.
Chang An glanced at the name of the noodle restaurant, which seemed to be a little special, called the name of the family. His family's business is very good, and the lobby is full of people, and as far as the eye can see, it is basically full.
The three of them walked inside, and an old man walked out of the back kitchen, and when he saw Gu Li, he smiled and said, "Are you here?" ”
Gu Li didn't speak, just nodded, and then got into a small private room with ease.
The three of them sat down, and the old man walked in with the menu, and said with a warm smile: "I haven't been here for a long time recently, what do you want?"
Zhao replied: "It's still the same." ”
The old man glanced at Chang An, and his smile became brighter, "What about this girl? ”
"And ...... Be the same as them. ”
Although Chang An didn't know what the "old look" was in Zhao Jian's mouth, he didn't bother to choose, what could enter Gu Li's mouth would definitely not be bad, after all, ...... He's picky.
In the process of waiting, Zhao Jian and Chang An chatted with each other. During the chat, Chang An roughly knew something.
She learned that if Gu Li was in Y City, he would come to this noodle restaurant every year on his birthday and eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles. From childhood to adulthood, every year.
Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, I come here and sit all day. However, listening to the old man's words, Gu Li should not have been here recently, which means that he is in a good mood. Chang An thought so.
Gu Li sat aside, letting the two of them gossip without talking. Later, he got up and went to the toilet.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chang An dared to secretly ask Zhao Jian: "Why does he like to come here for his birthday?"
"Maybe it's because of my aunt. I remember that when he was a child, when he had his birthday, his mother would make him a bowl of Yangchun noodles to celebrate his birthday. Every time he comes, he orders Yangchun noodles, maybe that's the reason.
Actually, at first I couldn't understand why he liked to come here, and at one point I couldn't help but ask him, 'Why?' and he just replied a few words, 'It smells of her.' ’”
Chang An nodded thoughtfully, Zhao Jian's words sounded a little sad, which made Chang An feel depressed.
There's a taste of her...... Is it because the noodles here taste similar to his mother's......? Is it nostalgia?
