Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu looked at each other quietly outside the hot pot restaurant for a while, and the quiet gaze that was not contaminated with any impurities brought him peace of mind, and in the future, her eyes that were as quiet as a pool of water on a sunny day were firmly imprinted in Xiao Mubai's heart.

He looked at Lin Manshu quietly, and Lin Manshu also looked at him quietly, and it wasn't until Xiao Hanyu did the opposite of Lin Manshu that Xiao Mubai returned to reality.

"Xiao Hanyu, is he your boyfriend?"

"Yes. ”

Xiao Mubai thought of this conversation again, and the sadness in his heart rose again, so he turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd of passers.

In the afternoon, when Xiao Mubai was in a meeting of the police force, he was still thinking about the scene when he met Lin Manshu at noon, and he didn't hear what the captain said on it.

"What's the matter with this kid Mu Bai? When the captain was telling the case above, he saw Xiao Mubai running away, and stopped and asked.

The captain's words made the members of the Criminal 3 Team look at Xiao Mubai, and Xiao Mubai felt many pairs of eyes looking at him, and then he came back to his senses.

"What's wrong, why is everyone looking at me?" Xiao Mubai asked in a daze.

"What's going on with you these days? Why, isn't the emotional road smooth?" the captain asked.

"I feel like I'm out of love. Xiao Mu Bai Muran replied.

"What? Broken love! So fast? Didn't you date Lawyer Lin a few days ago?" The captain said in surprise, and in an instant, everyone from the Criminal Team 3 came to Xiao Mubai, and everyone was a gossip face.

"It didn't seem like it was possible in the first place. Xiao Mubai muttered.

"Why can't she dump you?" Zhang Xin said, "Wow, Lawyer Lin's vision is too high." ”

"That is to say, Mu Bai is our police flower, how can he say that he can be shaken off. The captain said.

"It is said that I already have a boyfriend. Xiao Mubai said again, his voice low. He didn't seem to be answering questions from the people in the police force, but talking to himself.

"Got a boyfriend?" the captain asked, and said, "It doesn't seem like it's a broken love, it's a failed unrequited love." ”

What he said was really the truth, Xiao Mubai glanced at him resentfully, with an infinitely hurt expression in his eyes, and then lowered his head again, silently immersed in his own thoughts.

"Captain, why are you so direct. Zhang Xin complained.

Chen Li patted Xiao Mubai's shoulder and persuaded: "Oh, it's just a boyfriend, as long as she doesn't say that she doesn't like you personally, there is still hope, and she can still divorce if she gets married, let alone just a boyfriend." ”

"Ah, you kid, can the three views be normal. The captain slapped Chen Li on the back of the head and taught him a lesson.

In the evening, Xiao Mubai returned home, opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of drink, and just after two sips, he heard his mobile phone ring. I took out my phone from my pocket and saw that it was a text message, the sender was my mother, and the content was: Tomorrow is your father's sacrifice day, don't forget to come, I am waiting for you at the cemetery.

Xiao Mubai, who was already in a melancholy mood, felt even heavier after seeing this text message. Slowly close the refrigerator door and walk to the bedroom.

Dad, for him, is a very distant word. So far away that he didn't know how to say those two words.

Xiao Mubai stood in front of the cemetery in a black suit, the cool breeze was blowing, the autumn mood was already obvious, and the fallen leaves rustled with the wind. In this solemn cemetery, it adds to the desolate taste.

A bouquet of white chrysanthemums and a bottle of wine were placed in front of the tomb, and Xiao Mubai looked at those who didn't know what they were thinking.

"If I hadn't come here every year, I would have forgotten what he looked like. Xiao Mubai said.

"When he left, you were too young to blame you. Xiao's mother said.

She was also dressed in black and had a fair complexion. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes show her age, but they are still very charming. When I saw her, I felt that Xiao Mubai was so handsome.

Even then, I remember it vividly. Xiao Mubai said.

That incident was the belief that supported him to become a police officer, and it was the reason why he insisted on it. Only now, he is becoming more and more unsure, is that thing really the same as he thinks?

"At first, I thought it would at least cheer you up. Now it feels like you're too obsessed. Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Mubai's resolute side face and said.

"Perhaps. Xiao Mubai replied.

Lin Manshu's villa was originally very quiet. Suddenly, the door opened from the inside, and Lin Manshu walked out, followed by Xiao Hanyu. Both of them looked anxious.

"I'm going to Huang'an Village now, and you keep an eye on Xu Yingying's adoptive father. Lin Manshu said as she walked.

"Can you go back and forth for hours, and it's tiring to drive alone. Xiao Hanyu asked uneasily.

"I'll take a taxi. Lin Manshu said and went out.

Lin Manshu walked out of the villa area to take a taxi, and the sky suddenly rained, which caught her off guard. It was already far away from home, and there was no supermarket around, so she could only put her bag on her head to protect herself from the rain, hoping to get a taxi. But now there are people in the taxis, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Xiao Mubai was driving on the road, and saw a woman in front of him taking a taxi in the heavy rain, looking a little like Lin Manshu, so he deliberately took a closer look and found that it was really Lin Manshu. He honked at Lin Man-sook, but the latter was indifferent.

In desperation, Xiao Mubai could only stop the car, he first got off the car with one foot, his black leather shoes on the ground, and stepped on the rain. Then a black umbrella opened in the air. He took this umbrella and walked in front of Lin Manshu by stepping on the stagnant water all over the ground.

Lin Man-sook was anxiously taking a taxi, not noticing the people around her at all, and the rain soaked her hair and clothes. Suddenly, the rain seemed to be gone. When she looked up, it turned out to be a black umbrella that blocked the rain for her, and the person holding the umbrella for her was Xiao Mubai.

"It's raining, why are you here?" Xiao Mubai asked, trying to maintain a distant tone as much as he could.

"Take a taxi. Lin Manshu's tone was even more distant.

"Where are you going? I'll give you it. Xiao Mubai said.

"No need. After Lin Manshu finished speaking, she planned to turn around and continue to take a taxi.

Xiao Mubai tugged at her wrist and dragged her back under the umbrella, so that the distance between the two was closer than just now. Xiao Mubai saw Lin Manshu's wet hair because of the rain.

"What are you doing now?" asked Lin Manshu with a twisted eyebrow.

"Caring about you. Xiao Mubai replied in a calm tone.

"I don't need to. Lin Manshu said coldly.

"I know. Xiao Mubai said, after a pause, he said, "But I want to." ”

This kind of answer made Lin Manshu scratch her head, since she knew why she should care.

"It's getting heavier and heavier, let's go. Xiao Mubai said and pulled Lin Manshu into the car.

"Where are you going?" asked Xiao Mubai after getting in the car.

"Huang'an Village. Lin Manshu replied.

Xiao Mubai turned his head to look at Lin Manshu and said, "If there is something important that you have to go on a rainy day, I'll send you home." With that, he prepared to start the car.

"Definitely going today. Lin Manshu said, "It was also a rainy day on the day of the crime, so it is more accurate to calculate the time." ”

After speaking, she added: "I don't need to send it to me." ”

"Since you must go today, I'll send you. After all, we are interested in the same case. Xiao Mubai started the car as he spoke.

He felt that Xu Yingying's case seemed to be the last connection between him and Lin Manshu. After this case was handled, he had no reason to contact Lin Manshu, so he wanted to take this only opportunity to spend more time with Lin Manshu.

"Don't you have to go to the police force?" asked Lin Manshu.

"I'm on leave. Xiao Mubai replied.

Lin Manshu glanced sideways at Xiao Mubai, and soon turned her head to look ahead, the wipers moved back and forth, wiping away the rain that fell on the glass. But that seemed to be a futile effort, because soon rain would fall on it again.

After the car drove for a while, Xiao Mubai suddenly stopped on the side of the road and said to Lin Manshu: "Wait for me here for a while, and I'll be back immediately." So saying, he got out of the car.

Lin Manshu's eyes followed his figure and found that he had gone to a supermarket on the side of the road. When he returned, he had a towel and a hot drink in his hand.

"Wipe it, you'll catch a cold. Xiao Mubai handed the towel he had just bought back to Lin Manshu.

This move warmed Lin Manshu's heart, but her expression was still cold, and she took the towel and said, "Thank you." ”

The rain was still pouring down, and it showed no sign of abating, and there was already a lot of rain on the ground, and there was a splash of water as the vehicles drove by. Pedestrians on the road, some with umbrellas, some wearing raincoats, walked in the misty moisture.

Xiao Mubai's car went farther and farther, and before getting on the highway, Lin Manshu pointed in another direction and said, "Go this way." ”

Xiao Mubai saw that the sign on the highway said that it was the road to City C, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you would go to Huang'an Village?"

"It's another way. Lin Manshu replied.

Listening to Xiao Mubai's questioning tone, she explained: "Xu Yingying's friend Li Dan called me today and said that Xu Yingying's adoptive father has always had ill intentions towards Xu Yingying, and there is evidence in Xu Yingying's mobile phone. Han Yu and I think it may have something to do with Xu Yingying's mobile phone disappearing. ”

"So you suspect that Xu Qiang killed Xu Yingying?" Xiao Mubai asked.

"It's being verified. Lin Manshu said.

"But I remember that Xu Qiang was on a temporary business trip on the day of the crime, and he didn't have time to commit the crime. Xiao Mubai said.

"The last time I went to Huang'an Village, the villagers told us that there was a road to Huang'an Village in City C one day, and the city where Xu Qiang was on a business trip happened to be City C. Lin Manshu said.

Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu glanced at each other, and he also felt that these things were not too coincidental. Now that they are getting closer and closer to the truth? Well, since they have doubts, they should go and verify them and solve the doubts in their hearts.
