Tao Baihe followed her daughter into the room, and at a glance saw a suitcase on the gray-pink carpet. The boxes were opened, and they were filled with small, beautifully packaged, uniformly sized boxes. She glanced at Nan Zejiao in confusion, and then squatted down.

"Mom, don't move yet. Nan Zejiao saw that she wanted to demolish it, and hurriedly dissuaded her.

"It was given to me by Brother Madheart. The little girl's face was a little red, "He left a note asking me to open a box a day and open it according to the date on the box." She pointed to the note placed on the top box, "When I was at Master Hou's house, Brother Crazy Heart said that he wanted to give me a small snack, I thought it was the ordinary kind, and I forgot to open it after I got it back." Didn't you ask me to pack my bags just now, and I just found out that this is the case......" Her voice was irrepressibly excited, "Brother Crazy Heart is so good to me!"

Tao Baihe touched her daughter's face, "Xiao Xie is afraid that you will be fat, so I specially asked you to only eat one box a day." She pretended not to see Nan Zejiao's pursed mouth, "You have a round face, and you are prone to swelling on the camera, you must pay attention." ”

Nan Zejiao said angrily: "My round face is not up to you." Now blame me?"

Tao Baihe couldn't help but laugh when he saw her puffed up expression, "Mom is teasing you." She pointed to the box and said, "Look at the calorie meter, if it's not high, you can eat whatever you want." ”

Nan Zejiao shook her head, "No, I have to do it strictly according to what Brother Crazy Heart said, and only eat a small box a day." She hopped back to the box, "I'm just telling you." Mom, you are not allowed to steal it. ”

Tao Baihe couldn't cry or laugh, "Do you think I'm like you?

Nan Zejiao grimaced, and then added, "Also, don't open my box secretly, and tell my dad too, don't move." I have to open each box myself. ”

"Yes, yes, it's all yours, no one fights with you. Tao Baihe looked at her daughter's satisfied appearance, and thought of Nan Zeyu's hurried departure from home, and her heart suddenly felt a little sour. "Alright, seeing your 'baby gift', mom is going to get busy. ”

"Wait a minute. Nan Zejiao hurriedly picked up a pink envelope from the table, "Mom, I actually want you to see this." ”

Tao Baihe was confused, she took the envelope suspiciously, "Where did it come from?"

"The inside of the box, just under the note, can be seen as soon as you open it. Nan Zejiao frowned slightly, "I don't understand." ”

Tao Baihe opened the envelope, which contained a hand-drawn card slightly larger than a postcard. The front of the card is printed with the sunset over the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood, shining on the sea red.

Tao Baihe flipped the card to the back and saw a line of handwritten letters, "K WJQL". She subconsciously read it, "What does this mean?"

"I don't know. Nan Zejiao said annoyantly, "Brother Crazy Heart only said that he would give me a box of snacks, and he didn't mention a word about the card." I wanted to call him and ask him, but I was afraid of some kind of mystery, so I recklessly asked, would it seem like I was stupid?"

Tao Baihe flipped the card over and over a few times, "Are you sure this is Xiao Xie's words?"

"I'm sure. Nan Zejiao replied, "Brother Crazy Heart writes English very distinctively, he writes W with a little tail in the upper right corner." I haven't seen anyone else write it like that, it must have been written by Brother Madheart. Besides, he gave me snacks and could I have someone stuff a card?"

"Maybe someone stuffed it at the airport cargo place? Maybe it's your brainless fan?" Tao Baihe quipped.

"It's a lockbox, Mom. Nan Zejiao pursed her lips, "My fans are all young, so they shouldn't be able to crack it." Also, don't call me a fan of brains!"

Tao Baihe smiled and didn't argue with his daughter. She checked the card again, "It must be some abbreviation, obviously not a word." ”

"I thought so too, but I don't know what the abbreviation is. Nan Zejiao pulled the card back and held it in her hand. "If it's an abbreviation of an English word, it's better, I look it up in the dictionary slowly, and I can always figure it out;

Tao Baihe's heart moved, "Jiaojiao, Xiao Xie is from the Neon Country, right?"

"He was born in the Neon Country, and his mother is the cousin of Wan Guohou, but it seems to be ...... There is no blood relationship. Nan Zejiao put the card back on the table, "I don't know the specifics, because Brother Crazy doesn't like to talk about this." I probably remember that he said that his parents were Chinese, but he almost never mentioned his parents, and only liked to talk about Hou Ye. ”

"In this way, Xiao Xie was adopted by Hou Ye?" Tao Baihe thought thoughtfully, "Hou Ye doesn't look like he has any neon country relatives, why should he adopt a boy born in the neon country?"

"I don't know. Nan Zejiao untied the head rope that tied her hair and ran her hair casually with her fingers. "Mom, do you think this card is written in Japanese?"

Tao Baihe shook his head, "It's not good, I'm guessing too." She sat down on Nan Zejiao's bed and touched the quilt with her hand, "Do you want to show the card to your father?"

"Don't!" Nan Zejiao immediately objected, "Dad doesn't like Brother Crazy Heart, maybe he will make some trouble for me." ”

When Tao Baihe was thinking about cracking the secret of the voice recorder, Nan Zeyu was sitting in his Mercedes-Benz, looking at the road in front of him intently. At the moment, it's a red light.

"Are you keeping an eye on it?" he said, "don't let him run anymore." ”

"Absolutely not. Bo Peng's slightly smug voice came out of the loudspeaker, "Director Nan, I will definitely bring him to you this time." He paused, didn't hear Nan Zeyu's response, and continued, "Pennington is so bold that he dares to swagger to the mall to shop and watch movies. ”

"Don't take it lightly. Nan Zeyu said with a straight face, "This old thing is bold and careful, you can't underestimate him." ”

"Yes. ”

Bo Peng's reaction made Nan Zeyu very satisfied, and he glanced at the time displayed on the central control - 19:40. "How long is the movie?"

"The one he bought was at 7:55 and ran for an hour and a half. Bo Peng said confidently, "Director Nan, you can rest assured. ”

"Is there any of us in the cinema?" Nan Zeyu was very happy to hear this, but he was still a little uneasy.

"Yes, I arranged for 2 people. ”

"Why don't you arrange a few more?" Nan Zeyu's face sank, "The old thing has good kung fu, and two people may not be able to deal with it." ”

"I couldn't buy a ticket, and the last ticket was bought by Pennington. Bo Peng smiled bitterly, "Director Nan, this is a very hot Chinese New Year movie recently, and almost every one is full." I'm not good at stuffing people inside, now people like to use their mobile phones to send a Weibo or something, in case of a big trouble, I'm afraid it's not easy to clean up. He saw that Nan Zeyu didn't react, and hurriedly added, "There are two exits in one screening hall, one person guards one, and keeps in touch at any time, he can't run out." ”

Nan Zeyu pondered, "Okay, I see." ”

"I was right near the exit of the cinema, where the elevator leads. ”

The lights changed color, and Nan Zeyu started the car, "Are you sure Pennington entered the movie theater? Don't be smart." ”

"I asked just now, and they said Pennington was sitting in the third row, staring at the screen all the time. It's advertising time, and he's quite serious about it, and he's really a hillbilly. ”

"The third row is a little bit closer to the screen. Nan Zeyu muttered to himself, "Does he really want to watch a movie?" or is he short-sighted?"

Bo Peng hesitated for a moment and did not answer.

"Don't say anything, I'll be there in a moment. Nan Zeyu came back to his senses and hung up the phone. He collected his mind and drove as intently as he could, but a strange thought came to him, "After Christmas Eve last year, Pennington was like the world had evaporated. The people of the Buren Society searched everywhere, but they didn't find any clues about this old thing. Then why did he suddenly appear again two months later? And he went shopping and watching movies in the downtown area, so he was too bold, right?"

While thinking, he drove and before he knew it, he had reached his destination, the back door of the mall. The snake-shaped mall building in front of me is only 4 floors, and Nanzawa Yu has studied it before he came: the first floor is cosmetics and shoes and bags, the second floor is fashion, the third floor is a parent-child center and playground, and the fourth floor is a movie theater. Bo Peng sent people to guard every floor, and he didn't even let go of the toilet, so Nan Zeyu was sure of this operation.

Mercedes-Benz was still sliding, and a black shadow suddenly passed in front of the car, and Nan Zeyu was so frightened that he immediately braked sharply. He pressed the window of the car in horror and looked to see that it was a stray cat crossing the road. He let out a sigh of relief and pulled the handbrake.

"Bastard, look where you're going. He cursed under his breath, then checked the gun on his body, the full cartridge made him feel very safe. He shoved the gun back into his waist, then picked up his phone, ready to call Bo Peng.

The phone rang suddenly, startling him. He looked at it fixedly, and the caller ID was Bo Peng. "This idiot really picks the time. He muttered and answered the answer. "What's wrong? Something is wrong?"

"Well, Director South, that's right. The movie just started, but the projection failed, and the resolution of the picture was wrong, only a quarter of it could be displayed, and the audience was making noise. Bo Peng's voice was full of helplessness, "I've already gone to the screening room to urge it." ”

"Is Pennington still there?" Nan Zeyu unconsciously touched the gun in his waist.

"It's still there, no one has left the screening room yet. Bo Peng hurriedly said, "Director Nan, please rest assured, we will definitely not let him slip away again." ”

At this time, another black shadow landed on the hood of the car, and Nan Zeyu immediately pulled out his gun. Immediately after, the black shadow let out a hoarse "meow" - it turned out to be a black stray cat.

Nan Zeyu was suddenly displeased, the black cat is a symbol of bad luck, does this mean that he will return in vain tonight? He made a threatening wave to scare the stray cat away.

An orange stray cat squatting on a bench appeared in his mind, and it was a scene that Nan Zeyu had seen in his dreams.

"Director Nan?" Bo Peng heard Nan Zeyu's breathing become short, so he asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"

"What can I do?" Nan Zeyu said angrily, "Keep an eye on Pennington!" After saying that, he immediately ended the call. He casually dropped his phone near the windshield and glanced at the time—it was past 8:05 and the movie had been showing for 10 minutes.

He had something on his mind, so he shoved the gun back into his waist, then pulled the door open and stepped out. The black stray cat crept in again, and it seemed to like the car without turning off. Nan Zeyu observed it for a while, and suddenly realized that it was probably because the temperature near the engine was relatively high, so the cat liked to get close. It was late February, and it was still cold.

He made a "kicking" motion, and the stray cat flashed into the shadow on the side of the mall building with a cloud of smoke. I don't know if it's a hallucination, but suddenly there are cats meowing in the shadows. The voice sounded desolate and miserable, Nan Zeyu hesitated for a moment, and walked over in a ghostly manner.

No one could have imagined that the narrow alleys just across the wall from such a flashy mall would be as filthy as a garbage dump. Nan Zeyu frowned and stopped at the entrance. The hill of garbage was piled up in a mess, and there were constantly black shadows "whooshing" and speeding by, and from time to time there were creepy screams, and the strange hissing sound from the depths of the garbage heap made the bold him take a step back. He pressed his hands to his waist, ready for the unknown danger of the garbage heap.

"Pop", a drop of water fell on the plastic bag, and Nan Zeyu was about to pull out the gun almost immediately. He never believed in ghosts, and he was not afraid of wild cats, but this inexplicable and terrifying atmosphere made him uneasy. He couldn't help but kick the garbage, disturbing a crow.

"What the hell, even crows!" thought to herself. He stumbled back, faintly feeling a headache, and the cold night wind made his scalp tingle. He pulled open the car door, sat back in the car, and eagerly rummaged through the locker to find a bottle of painkillers. He didn't have time to find mineral water, so he swallowed it dry.

He closed his eyes and leaned back in the driver's seat wearily, trying not to think about the ghosts that had just passed in front of him. It wasn't until he felt better that he realized he hadn't closed the car door just now. And as soon as he reached out and closed the door, his phone rang at an inopportune time.

Nan Zeyu pressed the answer, and Bo Peng's panicked voice made him suddenly nervous. "Director South, Pennington is gone!"

"What's going on?" Nan Zeyu took out his cigarette case irritably, "Every time I plan to quit smoking, I come to me with troubles." He thought to himself, "I can't quit smoking, and Pennington can't catch it, damn it." ”

"Director South, he was disguised, and we found a coat and a shopping bag in his seat with a shopping slip for a vest and hat. He should have slipped out of the staff while the audience was complaining. One of the brothers guarding the exit was also killed by him......"

Nan Zeyu resisted the urge to curse and sighed.

"Director Nan, I think now, it's his hands and feet that if there is a problem with the screening of the movie!" Bo Peng said through gritted teeth.

At this moment, the passenger driver's door was opened with a "whoop". Nan Zeyu turned his head and saw a pair of familiar golden eyes.
