After Lin Manshu chatted, the four of them began to busy their own affairs. There is also a small conference room in Lim Man-sook's villa, and they work in it. Xiao Mubai and Xiao Hanyu continued to watch surveillance videos, and occasionally communicated. Shen Lingshan and Lin Manshu are looking through the case materials from 12 years ago. All four of them are workaholics, and they have no concept of time when they work.

Halfway through, they ordered pizza because they were hungry, but instead of finishing it properly before working, they continued to look at what they had while eating.

Lin Manshu and Xiao Mubai were sitting facing each other, with a pizza in front of their table and one in front of Xiao Hanyu and Shen Lingshan.

Lin Manshu reached out to get the pizza on the table while reading the information, but he didn't expect Xiao Mubai to also reach out for the pizza at this time, but coincidentally, he didn't look at it either. The hands of the two people collided unexpectedly, and the warm touch brought by the moment of contact shocked the two of them. They looked up at the same time and saw the surprised look in each other's eyes.

This made them a little embarrassed, and they quickly withdrew their hands and continued to bow their heads to do their own things. If Xiao Hanyu or Shen Lingshan looked up at them at this time, they would definitely find that both of them were red-faced.

After reading the information for a long time, Lin Manshu felt a little bored, so she went to the yard to breathe. It's late at night, and only Lin Manshu's single-family villa is lit up, and the rest of the villas are dark.

Outside the villa is a quiet and quiet road, which is rarely passed by by on weekdays, and it is even cleaner at night. There are palm trees on both sides of the road, and the leaves are green even in winter. Further inside, there is a river, flowing quietly.

Lin Manshu sat in the courtyard and looked at the scenery outside, not wearing much clothes on her body, but it was not cold. Blowing a cool breeze for a while cleared her groggy brain a lot.

While she was relaxing, a delicate plate was placed on the table with a piece of pizza on top. Lin Manshu looked up and saw Xiao Mubai.

"You just didn't eat it. Xiao Mubai said.

Speaking of what happened just now, Lin Manshu was still a little embarrassed. She doesn't know how to get along with her friends, and naturally she won't know how to get along with the opposite sex. In terms of feelings, she is immature and young.

Lin Manshu squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you." Feeling a little overwhelmed, she took the pizza and ate it.

This is probably one of the few times Xiao Mubai saw Lin Manshu smile, and he suddenly found that Lin Manshu seemed to be unable to deal with emotional problems. That's a good sign.

So Xiao Mubai sat down next to Lin Manshu, and Lin Manshu looked at Xiao Mubai cautiously while eating, as if asking him why he didn't leave.

"After watching the video for so long, my brain is tired, I sit here and rest for a while, don't mind. Xiao Mubai asked.

Lin Manshu coughed unnaturally and replied, "Whatever you want." ”

Lin Manshu said very little, most of the time she was silent, even if she had to speak, except in the courtroom, she usually tried to say as little as she could. In this way, she had to force Xiao Mubai to find a topic to get close to in order to make the scene not embarrassing.

Fortunately, Xiao Mubai is not a stuffy oil bottle, and there is still something to talk about between him and Lin Manshu.

"Why is Lawyer Lin interested in the case from 12 years ago?" asked Xiao Mubai.

"There's something to know. Lin Manshu said.

"Then you can ask me, I have read the case many times from beginning to end in order to investigate the latest events. Xiao Mubai said confidently.

"What did you find?" asked Lin Manshu.

Lin Manshu's question is "what has been discovered" rather than "have you found such and such a problem", which is too broad to make Xiao Mubai inaccessible for a while.

Lin Manshu thought that he didn't hear the problem, and said, "Haven't you read it many times?

"What do you mean......"

Xiao Mubai said hesitantly, he wasn't sure if what he knew and what Lin Manshu suspected was the same thing.

"Meng Yanan. ”

After Lin Manshu said the name of this person, Xiao Mubai probably understood, and he said: "Zhong Ling's death is directly related to Meng Yanan. ”

"You have doubts about this, too?" asked Lin Manshu.

"It's not that I suspect it, it's when I asked Zhong Nan that he said it, Zhong Ling left a diary before his death, which contained a story about the events of twelve years ago. Xiao Mubai said.

Lin Manshu paid attention to the relationship between Meng Yanan and Zhong Ling, and she didn't believe Meng Yanan's self-report, so she chose to investigate by herself.

"What exactly is written?"

Xiao Mubai shook his head and said, "I don't know." The diary concerns personal privacy and the reputation of the deceased, and is not directly related to the facts of this case. Zhong Nan chose not to make it public, and we can't ask more. ”

"So, is Zhong Nam the murderer of the serial murder case?"

This is not only what Lin Manshu is curious about, but also what Xiao Mubai is eager to verify. It's just that there is no definite conclusion yet.

Xiao Hanyu and Shen Lingshan were still busy with the things at hand, and when they reacted, they found that only the two of them were in the conference room.

"Where did the two of them go?" asked Hanyu.

Shen Lingshan looked up and found that Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu were gone, so she couldn't help but show an ambiguous smile and said, "It's a good thing that the two of them go out together, so you don't care." ”

Xiao Hanyu thought about it, it was true, and silently hoped that the two of them could make further progress.

"Wow, if the two of them are really together, I won't be able to pass this level without inviting me to a big meal. ”

Xiao Hanyu's face showed longing, and he was in a hurry to marry Lin Manshu.

"When you were in college, you used to come to the school to find Man-sook, and we all thought you liked her. Shen Lingshan suddenly talked about the past.

"I like it, but it's not just a matter of liking between friends. Xiao Hanyu replied.

Shen Lingshan looked incredulous, and said, "Where is there a simple friendship between men and women." ”

Xiao Hanyu looked up at Shen Lingshan and said, "It's just that you haven't encountered it." ”

Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu chatted about the surrounding environment from the case, Xiao Mubai said that he wanted to go to the lake, and Lin Manshu accompanied him as the host.

Lin Manshu didn't feel cold in the yard before, but when she arrived at the riverside, the cool breeze was blowing, and she couldn't stand it. She subconsciously hugged her arms to ward off the cold.

Xiao Mubai walked behind Lin Manshu, seeing Lin Manshu's movements, he silently took off his coat and stepped forward to drape it on Lin Manshu. His action brought both of them to a halt, and there was just a street lamp that cast a dim glow.

Lin Manshu said against her will: "I'm not cold. As he spoke, he took off his coat and returned it to Xiao Mubai.

Xiao Mubai insisted on putting his coat on her and said, "Don't be reckless, you just need to be a little woman in front of me." ”

"I'm not reckless, I'm just up to the task. Lin Manshu looked at Xiao Mubai and said.

"Then you can't handle the cold wind of nature, so you should wear it. ”

Lin Manshu didn't insist anymore, the two walked slowly by the river, and it was quiet everywhere late at night. There were no pedestrians on the road, only dim street lamps to accompany them.

Walking and walking, Lin Manshu found one thing, that is, Xiao Mubai always squeezed her when she walked. She was outside Xiao Mubai, and there was still some distance between the two, but Xiao Mubai always leaned towards Lin Manshu, and in order to keep her distance, Lin Manshu had to continue to go inside.

But then Lin Manshu was already very close to the inside, and Xiao Mubai still squeezed her. Lin Manshu was embarrassed to talk about him, so she walked a few steps faster and walked outside Xiao Mubai. I thought to myself, this won't squeeze me anymore. However, Xiao Mubai still squeezed her.

At this time, Lin Manshu finally couldn't stand it anymore, she stopped, looked at Xiao Mubai and asked, "Why do you always have to squeeze others when you walk?"

Lin Manshu asked seriously, but Xiao Mubai laughed. Lin Manshu looked at Xiao Mubai with strange eyes, not understanding why he was laughing.

When Xiao Mubai laughed, his eyes were crooked, like the moon hanging in the sky.

"It's not about squeezing you, I'm just trying to get closer to you. ”

Xiao Mubai still had a smile on his face, the corners of his eyes and mouth were curved, his smile seemed to have an infectious charm, Lin Manshu laughed unconsciously, but her smile was very shallow.

On the round street lamp, a warm yellow light is sprinkled, and if you look closely, you can see that the snowflakes have fallen at some point, and the curve of the snowflakes falling one after another is more obvious under the swagger of the lights. Snowflakes fluttered along the lights, one after another, one after another, and before you knew it, they fell to the ground.

The river was still flowing quietly, and the snowflakes floating on it were really insignificant to the river, and they were quickly swallowed up by the waves. The breeze blew, and the calm water surface set off a slight ripple mark, which also blew Lin Manshu's hair.

"It's snowing. ”

Lin Manshu stretched out her hand to catch the falling snowflakes, but before she could catch it, Xiao Mubai suddenly put her hand on her hand.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Manshu looked at Xiao Mubai and asked.

"What about you?" Xiao Mubai asked rhetorically.

"I'm catching snowflakes. Lin Manshu replied.

"Then treat me like a snowflake. Xiao Mubai said with a smile.
