Nan Zeyu finished washing up and was ready to go to bed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoTao Baihe had already changed into a nightdress and lay on the bed, holding an iPad in her hand and reading a shopping website.

"Are you sleeping?" asked Nan Zeyu.

"Well, she has to get up early tomorrow to put on makeup, and there is a Christmas event that she and Xiao Xie are going to attend. Tao Baihe said without raising his head, his fingers scratching on the iPad.

"Let's go to bed early, you will send her there tomorrow? I will go to the hall, I guess Secretary General Zeng is going to call me." Nan Zeyu sighed and pulled the quilt opener, "It's been stable for a few months, and there is another murder, and it's still in a foreigner's house, alas." ”

"Knock knock knock. The knock on the door was accompanied by Nan Zeyu's sigh, and he couldn't help but be startled. "Dad?" he rolled out of bed and opened the door.

Tao couldn't stand outside the door, and he said with some anxiety: "You haven't slept yet?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I have a friend who has something going on and wants you to help him. Tao couldn't listen to the movement, "Bai He, you didn't sleep either?"

"Well, Dad, what's wrong with you?" Tao Baihe still didn't look up, "Your friend is harassing you again?"

"Hey, hey. Tao couldn't laugh dryly, "It's all business partners." ”

"Dad, wait a minute. Nan Zeyu walked to the head of the bed and began to get dressed, he didn't ask what was the matter.

"It's so late, Dad, your friend is really unreliable, and he will cause trouble at every turn. Tao Baihe pursed his lips, "Let him invite him to dinner next time." ”

"You go to bed early. Nan Zeyu interrupted her complaining, "I'll be back when I'm done." He moved quickly, and he was already wearing trousers as he spoke. He kissed Tao Baihe's lips topless, "Don't wait for me." ”

Tao Baihe looked at his strong chest and smiled. On Nan Zeyu's chest, there is a large hideous and terrifying tattoo - the great tengu with quite intimidating power in the legend of the Neon Country. Its face is red, its nose is protruding, and it is shaped like a bird's beak, and it looks unusually arrogant.

Not only does this monster look weird, but it also has a strange costume. Dressed in samurai armor, it clogs, holding a saber at its waist in one hand and an eerie fan in the other, and a pair of wings on its back, as if it could go up to the sky and into the earth.

"That's me, the average woman who sees your tattoo has to be frightened and cold. Tao Baihe said teasingly.

"Ahem. Tao couldn't clear his throat in embarrassment, "Then I'll go downstairs and wait for you first." ”

A few minutes later, Nan Zeyu walked down the stairs.

"Young master. Tao couldn't say with some excitement, "They said ......"

"Shhhh Nan Zeyu interrupted the other party impatiently, "I'll talk about it later." ”

The two went out one after the other and got into a Mercedes-Benz. After waiting for the car to drive out of the yard, Nan Zeyu asked, "Did you find Mous?"

"Yes! In Banyeting in Hongkou, there is an old house, and he lives in it. ”

Nan Zeyu's heart was agitated: since the anniversary of Qianfeng Academy on October 10, he has been chasing Mouss. But the old man is elusive, and he can get rid of the stalking every time, and now, he has finally found his lair!

"Did you send someone to keep an eye on him?"

"Someone is in the middle of the field, staring at it all the time. Tao couldn't smile and said, looking like he was succeeding.

Seeing that there was a red light in front of him, Nan Zeyu took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and then lit it with a "pop". He took a pleasant deep breath, then slowly exhaled the smoke. After he had had enough of swallowing the clouds and spitting out the mist, he asked, "How about the people you arranged? ”

"Don't worry. There's a noodle shop down that street, and I've got six people to stay in it. The shop is open until 4 o'clock every day. The others were in the car, parked dozens of meters away from the house. ”

Nan Zeyu spewed out two plumes of smoke from his nose with satisfaction, "Hmph, this time, look where he is fleeing." ”

He looked out the window at the night. The magic capital at 12 o'clock is still a sea of lights, and the prosperity everywhere makes him feel like he is out of time, as if it has just fallen into the night.

About half an hour later, the car arrived at Banyeting.

Banyeting is an old town full of old houses, with a large number of bungalows and two-story tube buildings intertwined, narrow alleys, and stinking ditches on the side of the road. Nan Zeyu looked at the alley outside the window and frowned, his car couldn't drive in, so he had to stop on a road outside the alley.

He glanced at his watch, "Half past twelve." ”

It's not as bustling as the city, it's damp and cold in the quiet of the night. Nan Zeyu got out of the car and looked up to see the children's clothes hanging outside the window of a house, and I wonder if they forgot to collect them. At this moment, under the cold wind of the winter night, these clothes are like prayer flags for the spirit, fluttering with bad intentions.

"Where does Mous live?" he asked, in a low voice.

Tao couldn't be obviously infected by his son-in-law's nervousness, he subconsciously licked his lips, "It is said that it is in the innermost part of this alley, No. 54, and there is an amusement park promotional poster on the door." ”

Nan Zeyu nodded, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. A minute later, more than twenty men dressed in dark clothes appeared in his field of vision. The middle-aged man at the head has a face with an excessively protruding jaw angle, and his face shape looks like a pentagonal shape at first glance.

"Half of them go to the back. Nan Zeyu lowered his voice, "Catch it alive." ”

"Yes. The man with the pentagonal face said respectfully. Then, with a wave of his hand at the others, the action began.

A group of people quietly approached No. 54, gesturing while silently surrounding the bungalow.

Nan Zeyu stood outside the door of No. 54 and faintly saw the lights in the courtyard through the gap in the big iron gate.

"We checked with the landlord beforehand and the house doesn't have a back door. Tao couldn't whisper, "But he has a dog." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the dogs in the yard barked, and the barking was particularly harsh in the dead night.

Nan Zeyu frowned, "." He waved his hand at the Pentagon, which immediately rushed towards it with an arrow. I saw him take out a magnetic card, pull it against the crack of the door, and open the old-fashioned door lock.

The Pentagon gently pushed the door open, and the dog saw him and barked even harder. He took two steps forward with bated breath, and when he was sure that there was no danger near the gate, he beckoned, and the group of people outside the door immediately followed lightly.

The dog was tethered and had a small range of motion, and it jumped forward desperately, trying to intimidate the uninvited guests.

The "pentagonal" squatted down and briskly slit the dog's neck with his hands and feet. The steaming blood immediately gushed out, and he glanced back at Nan Zeyu, but the latter didn't have any expression.

"That's not right. Nan Zeyu suddenly felt a pang in his heart, "The dogs are barking like this, and the master hasn't gotten up yet?" Thinking of this, he walked quickly to the door of the main house and kicked the door open.

The dim light shone into the courtyard, and everyone was so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe, just stared closely at the inside of the house.

Nan Zeyu subconsciously took out his gun.

The room was small, with only one bed except for simple furniture. Mous's investigation materials are plastered all over the walls, but a closer look reveals that some places have been taken away, revealing blank walls. Apparently, the tenants had slipped away before they arrived.

What surprised Nan Zeyu was that there were photos of him and Nan Zejiao in the information posted on the wall, but the photos were not very clear, and from the angle, it was obviously a candid shot.

Nan Zeyu walked to the wall and took a closer look at the photo of Mousten. The more he looked at it, the more he felt a chill in his heart. The photos were taken in a variety of locations, some in front of Nanjiamen, some in Qianfeng Academy, some at the site of Nan Zejiao's activities, and some under Nan Zeyu's office building.

And the photo that made Nan Zeyu feel most uncomfortable was taken two days ago.

On December 22, the winter solstice, Nan Zejiao managed to find time from her agent to have dinner with her family at one of her favorite Thai restaurants. Tao Wutian, who rarely showed up, was also picked up. Everyone was in high spirits, Tao Bufu and Tao Wutian both drank a lot of wine, and Nan Zeyu only drank soda because he wanted to drive.

In the photo, Tao Baihe was pushing Tao Wutian's wheelchair, and Tao Wutian was bending over, talking to Tao Wutian. Tao Wutian's face was blocked, and his expression could not be seen. Nan Zejiao grinned and pointed at Tao Wutian, as if she had seen something funny.

The only person missing from the photo is Nan Zeyu, who happened to go to the parking lot to pick up the car at that time.

But Nan Zeyu felt that this photo was specially taken for him. Mous seemed to shout to him through the photo: "This family has nothing to do with you. You are just a pawn that Kujo Harutomi has planted in China, and no matter how important you are now, you will eventually have to return to the basket. ”

Seeing Nan Zeyu's gloomy face, the "Pentagon" waved his arm and motioned for others to enter the house to search. Tao couldn't have bad eyes, so he kept standing at the door, his back against the courtyard gate, and he looked like a stone lion from a distance.

Nan Zeyu looked around in the dim light, making sure that there was nothing worth paying attention to. "Pack up all the photos and notes. He commanded.

With that, he turned and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, he looked back at the wall as if he had suddenly remembered something. Among the photos of Nan's father and daughter, there is an old yellowed calendar card.

Nan Zeyu walked back and pulled out this calendar card, and the year printed on it was 1991.

As soon as Nan Zeyu's heart moved, his mother died in 1991, at the hands of Pennington. After that, Pennington's whereabouts were unknown, and he did not do anything for many years. According to Pennington's ruthless style of acting in the past, he could only be dead back then, otherwise he would definitely not be dormant.

Nan Zeyu looked at the palm-sized calendar card: the front was a pattern of five pilots wearing different colors of armor, and behind them stood a huge multicolored robot. He flipped the card over and saw the date of 12 months printed on the back.

On the August date, Mous drew a cross.

Nan Zeyu sighed secretly. He didn't have a photo of Mous, and most of the information about Mous collected by the "Buren Society" was something Tao couldn't provide, and these materials were basically dictated, and Nan Zeyu had never trusted it.

On October 10, when Tao could not arrive at the scene, Mous had already jumped out of the window and fled, and the two did not meet, so Nan Zeyu could not confirm the identity of the other party.

Nan Zeyu took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and the "pentagon" hurriedly helped him light it. Nan Zeyu glanced at the "pentagon" and did not speak.

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Nan Zeyu's thoughts became clearer. "This person, it could be Mouss, it could be Pennington. After all, after the two disappeared, their bodies were not found. I had to find a chance to report the matter to my father, who had been affected by Tao's uncontrollable opinion. He thought that his judgment might be approved by Kujou Harumi, and his mood changed a little.

"Director South. A call woke him from his musings, the title he had requested.

The "pentagon" stood in the courtyard, pointing to a place, seemingly anxious.

Nan Zeyu walked over quickly. I saw that behind a water tank, several plants fell to the ground, as if they had been uprooted. Nan Zeyu threw away the cigarette in his hand and squatted down to observe.

In front of me was a square plank of regular shape, which was clearly a skylight in a cellar.

Nan Zeyu nodded, and the two people around him pulled up the skylight. A person turned on the flashlight and shone it down for a while, "Director Nan, it's not big inside, it doesn't seem to be anyone." Let's go down now?

"Go ahead. ”

Nan Zeyu could almost conclude that the dog barked at first, not because he heard their movements, but because of the strange behavior of his owner, who pulled out the plants he had planted before, opened the cellar, and hid inside.

"Director Nan, there's a tunnel inside, this guy ran down the tunnel!" After a while, a man climbed up to report.

Nan Zeyu said distraughtly: "Okay, come up, look around here." Then he smelled blood, and he suddenly turned his head to stare at the "pentagon" and asked, "How many of you have entered the noodle shop?"

Pentagon was stunned for a moment, "Uh, seven people, count me." ”

"The rest of the people are in the car?"

"Yes. ”

"Did you see Mous, then?"

"I saw it, and I made sure he went into the yard and went home. ”

"When did you see him?" Nan Zeyu wanted to smoke again, but what he touched was an empty cigarette case, "The specific time, think about it." ”

"Pentagon" seriously recalled, "about twelve o'clock. Yes, I've seen the time, it should be that point. ”

"What was he doing?"

He went to a grocery store that was closing to buy something, then he went to the noodle shop and ordered a bowl of noodles and sat there and finished it. ”

Nan Zeyu let out a long sigh, "You ......" He clenched his fists, as if he wanted to punch the face of the "Pentagon".
