After Lin Manshu faxed the information about Xiao Hai's case to Xiao Hanyu, he began to investigate. That robot toy, because it is a limited edition, has only one supplier in the province. The supplier is a friend of Hanyu's father, so it's easy to find.

Xiao Hanyu found the supplier, took out the robot toy, and asked, "Uncle Guo, you used to sell this kind of toy twenty years ago, do you remember?"

Guo Tong took the toy, looked at it for a while, and said, "I still remember, your parents also bought one of these toys from me back then." ”

Xiao Hanyu smiled and said, "This is the one I bought from you back then." ”

Guo Tong was surprised after hearing this, and said, "Really? I didn't expect you to keep this? It seems that I really like it." ”

Xiao Han replied with a smile, and then asked, "I heard that there were only fifty of these toys at that time, do you remember who you sold them to?"

"It's already 20 years ago, how can you remember it all?" Guo Tong said.

"Ah...... yes. ”

Xiao Hanyu was in a hurry to investigate, and he forgot about these. Also, who can remember exactly what happened 20 years ago?

"But...... For every piece sold, I gave *, and if I saw that, I might remember it. Guo Tong said suddenly.

This made Xiao Hanyu, who was already hopeless, rekindle his confidence, and there is * in the case materials, and he also deliberately took a photo. After Guo Tong finished speaking, Yu Hanyu immediately took out the photo to show him.

"Here's a * for you to see. ”

Guo Tong took the phone, looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed heartily, he said: "That's right, that's right, this is what I drove*." This is not the payee Guo Tong, it is my name. ”

"Then do you remember who opened this*?" asked Hanyu.

There are too few hints like this, so it's hard to remember, Xiao Hanyu simply took out Xiao Hai's photo and showed it to Guo Tong, and asked, "It should be this person, do you still have an image?"

Guo Tong took the photo and looked at it for a while, frowned and said, "It's not this person." ”

"Isn't it?"

Guo Tong said very firmly: "No." I probably can't remember anything else, but I remember this. ”

Then Guo Tong pointed to the amount column on * and said, "Look here, the amount is ninety-five yuan." The price of this toy was 100 yuan in the market at the time. The reason why it is sold cheaply is because there is a small notch on the toy. Originally, we were going to return all the damaged toys, but the person who bought the toy was a journalist I admired, so I was very impressed. He said that his friend's child liked this toy very much and had to buy it, so I sold it to him cheaper. ”

"Reporter, what reporter?" asked Hanyu.

"It's a reporter from the provincial TV station, named Cui Hao, who was very famous at the time, but there was no news of him later. Guo Tong said that maybe because he was an admirer, he remembered it very clearly.

This is the end of the investigation into robot toys, which, far from being helpful, raises a series of questions. What is the relationship between that reporter and Xiao Hai? Why did the toys he bought end up in Xiao Hai's car? The case record records that Xiao Hai was going to pick up an important guest on the afternoon of his death, was that guest Cui Hao? Why did Xiao Hai commit suicide after picking him up?

This series of questions has not been answered, and they need to discover it slowly.

…………

At night, Lin Manshu was bored, and suddenly had the idea of going out for a walk, so she put on her clothes and went out.

"Why are you going?" asked Xiao Mubai.

"Wandering. Lin Manshu replied simply.

As soon as he heard that Lin Manshu was going out, Xiao Mubai was also interested, threw away the book in his hand, and said, "I'll accompany you." ”

"No, I'll be back soon. Lin Manshu said.

"It's eleven o'clock now, it's too dangerous to go out alone, let me protect you secretly. ”

Xiao Mubai used this method to follow Lin Manshu out. Lin Manshu looked at him and said, "Okay, then follow secretly, don't get too close to me." ”

It was not early at eleven o'clock in the evening, and Lin Manshu did not go far, but just walked on the quiet path near the villa.

The road they took was quiet, there were few people, and the occasional car drove by, which was when the road was at its noisiest. Lin Manshu and Xiao Mubai walked one after the other on the neat oil road, the light shone on them, and the shadows of the two were imprinted on the ground. If you keep looking at the ground, you will find that the distance between the two shadows is getting closer and closer. I don't know if the former deliberately slowed down in order to wait for the latter, or the latter accelerated the pace in order to catch up with the former. In short, the distance between the two is getting shorter and shorter, and eventually it becomes walking side by side.

"How can people who want to be secretly protected walk side by side?" Lin Manshu asked with a sideways look at Xiao Mubai.

"I want to protect you openly. Like this...... Lifetime. Xiao Mubai said and took Lin Manshu's hand without warning.

The moment his hand was grabbed by Xiao Mubai, Lin Manshu's heart throbbed. Could it be because of the hazy moonlight tonight? Lin Manshu felt that such a scene with Xiao Mubai was very unreal, like a dream.

"Are you planning to confess once a day?" asked Lin Manshu.

The corners of Xiao Mubai's lips rose and said, "It's not impossible to hear what you want to hear." ”

"I don't want to hear it. Lin Manshu said immediately, as if she felt that such a refusal was too obvious, and Lin Manshu added: "Confession is originally meant to be heard suddenly to feel it, and if you listen to it every day, won't it be without that throbbing." ”

Lin Manshu's words exposed a problem, that is, she had a throbbing when she heard Xiao Mubai's confession. Xiao Mubai also heard the meaning contained in it, and his mood became extremely clear.

He smiled and asked, "Did that sentence just now mean that it had a throbbing effect on my confession?"

Hearing Xiao Mubai's question, Lin Manshu realized that she had lost her words, and sighed silently in her heart: If you really say too much, you will lose.

However, Lin Manshu is a person who doesn't blush when she lies, so it's okay to deal with this little thing. She simply changed the topic, raised the hand that was being grabbed by Xiao Mubai, and asked, "How long do you plan to hold this hand?"

"For a lifetime. Xiao Mubai replied bluntly and seriously without thinking about it.

Lin Manshu looked at Xiao Mubai, and Xiao Mubai also looked at her. Lin Manshu found that when Xiao Mubai laughed, his eyes were arc-shaped, curved, and very charming.

A car drives by, bringing in the noise and breaking the quiet atmosphere on the road. It rained a few hours ago, and there was still water on the ground, and the car splashed water on the ground when it passed by, considering that Lin Manshu was wearing white clothes, Xiao Mubai immediately protected her behind her to prevent dirty water from splashing on her clothes.

The black sedan passed by the two of them, further and further away. From the rear mirror, the two look like they are hugging each other.

Now Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu are very close, and they can even see Lin Manshu's fluttering eyelashes. With such a close contact, Xiao Mubai also felt a little embarrassed, so he explained: "I'm here to prevent your white clothes from splashing dirty water." ”

"It's good to send it to dry cleaning if it's dirty, why bother. Lin Manshu said.

"Doesn't dry cleaning cost money? Xiao Mubai said.

"It doesn't cost much. Lin Manshu said.

The two continued to walk forward, the air was fresh after the rain, and it was a good mood to walk in this weather.

"It seems that being a lawyer is very lucrative. Xiao Mubai said.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be a lawyer. Lin Manshu took it for granted.

Xiao Mubai glanced at Lin Manshu seriously and said, "Is it to become a lawyer to make money?" I didn't expect your favorite thing to be money. ”

"Who doesn't like money. Lin Manshu said.

After a pause, Lin Manshu's tone turned deep and said, "Many times, people are angry or unhappy because they have no money. ”

"Having money doesn't necessarily mean being happy. Xiao Mubai said.

Lin Manshu showed a faint smile on her face and said, "At least the chances of happiness are a little bigger." ”

The reason why Lin Manshu came up with this kind of thinking originated from her family. In her memory, many times her parents quarreled because of money. So she takes it for granted that if she has money, she will be happy. But...... Before she could become rich, her favorite brother died. So much so that now, although she has money, Lin Manshu still doesn't feel happy. The lack of affection in her heart cannot be compensated for by money.

Not wanting to bring up those sad topics again, Lin Manshu asked Xiao Mubai: "What about you, why did you choose to be a policeman?"

"Because I have a sense of justice, it is my mission to eradicate violence and peace. Xiao Mubai said in a solemn tone.

Lin Manshu glanced at him and said, "Liar." ”

"Haha, you can see it. Xiao Mubai said, "Actually, I didn't study well when I was a child, and I didn't have anything I liked to do. ”

"It's a lie, can you be admitted to the police university if you don't study well?" said Ms. Lim.

"I'm not done yet. ”

Xiao Mubai began to tell his story as he spoke, saying: "When I was about ten years old, my father died, and my mother then remarried. At that time, I felt abandoned by the whole world, so I started to live a messy life and didn't study. I just mixed it up until high school. ”

This is the first time Lin Manshu has heard Xiao Mubai talk about this, and she really can't imagine what Xiao Mubai was like at that time.

"Again, on the day of my father's death, Uncle Gu asked me if I wanted to find out the truth about my father's death. He told me that my father was not a man who would kill himself easily, and that there must be a secret behind it. ”

Xiao Mubai continued: "I asked Uncle Gu how to find out the truth, and he said that this matter is difficult, unless I become a policeman. So I studied hard and was admitted to the police university, but fortunately, I was very talented in investigating cases. It's just that finding out the truth about his father's death is not so simple. ”

After saying this, Xiao Mubai sighed deeply, feeling very relaxed, this thing that he rarely mentioned to others, finally said it today.

Lin Manshu stopped, looked at Xiao Mubai and said, "The truth will always come out one day." If you look for it, you can always find it. ”

They have now returned to the outside of the villa, and there is just a street lamp where Lin Manshu stopped, the light is slightly yellow, but the outline of the bamboo fence and climbing vines on the periphery of the villa can be illuminated very clearly, and the climbing vines are still blooming with small lilac flowers in twos and threes.

"Well, I believe there will come a day. Xiao Mubai said.

The truth will indeed come out one day, but is that truth something they can bear?
