"Hot," Xu Ai let go of Sister Tong's hand and walked towards her flower shop, "I'll go first, I'm very busy today." ”

Sister Tong shouted behind her, "Come and have a cup of coffee in my store sometime." ”

"Okay. ”

......

Back at the store, Tintin had already cleaned the shop.

The flowers that were purchased yesterday haven't arrived yet, and there is nothing to clean up in the store, Xu Ai was lying behind the counter, chatting with Ding Ding without a match, "Ding Ding, have you eaten breakfast?"

Ding Ding nodded, "Sister, haven't you eaten?" Then I'll buy it for you, what do you want to eat?"

Xu Ai shook his head, "I was quite hungry, but I don't have any appetite at this time, so I guess I don't have much appetite for a day today." ”

"That's right, when I first heard about it, I almost vomited all the tofu brains I drank in the morning, and it's so ...... Infiltrated. ”

Xu Ai, "Let's get off work early today and close the door at six o'clock and go home." ”

"Sister, are you scared?"

"Nonsense, can you not be afraid? Killing people and dismembering corpses, how scary. ”

"But wasn't the murderer taken away by the police?"

"It's not that simple. ”

"Ah......h

At this time, a pickup truck drove up, which was the delivery vehicle for them.

The two immediately put away their minds and began to get busy, which was a morning.

I don't have much appetite, but I still have to eat.

There is a delicious rice noodle shop nearby, Ding Ding is responsible for buying it, and Xu Ai asked for a spicy chicken rice noodle.

The rice noodles were bought, and one person ate on a small bench around the table, and was eating vigorously, when the wind chimes hanging at the door rang, and someone entered the store.

Ding Ding hurriedly put down his chopsticks and went to greet, "Welcome." ”

Xu Ai didn't raise her head and continued to eat her rice noodles.

Zhang Bai came with his colleagues to do a simple investigation.

Originally, he didn't need to come forward in person for this trivial matter of investigation, but he still came.

As soon as you enter the store, you will be greeted by the fragrance of flowers and the smell of spicy rice noodles.

When he came with him, he called Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong went first, and Zhang Bai followed behind.

Ding Ding looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong with the big brother of the police?"

Xu Ai, who was originally eating rice noodles happily, stopped eating as soon as he heard the word 'police'.

She hurriedly turned around and saw two more men in police uniforms in the store.

One is tall and one is short, and the tall one is naturally an acquaintance.

The moment she saw her acquaintance, the other party also saw her, the two looked at each other silently, and Xu Ai took the lead in looking away.

She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a tissue, threw the tissue in the trash and stood up.

She walked up to them and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Dong smiled kindly, "Don't be nervous, just make a simple inquiry." ”

Xu Ai nodded, "About the steamed bun shop?"

"yes, how long have you been doing business here?"

"It's been five years. ”

"Are you familiar with the boss of the bun?"

"I can't say that I am familiar, but I know each other, after all, I have been doing business on the same street for so many years, Brother Zhang is kind, and I usually like to go to his house for breakfast. ”

Xiao Dong nodded, "After visiting so many homes, you all have a very high evaluation of the suspect." ”

"Brother Zhang is usually very popular. ”

Xiao Dong smiled, "What about the deceased?"

"His wife doesn't have a good temper, and I don't know anything else. ”

"What about Zhang Xinyu?"

"That kid, he doesn't seem to like to talk much, he is said to have good academic performance, and now he seems to be a sophomore at Beijing Institute of Technology, and I don't know about the rest. ”

"Have you noticed anything unusual lately, like a stranger you've never seen wandering around the area?"

Xu Ai shook his head, "I haven't paid attention." ”

Xiao Dong put away his notebook and nodded to Xu Ai with a smile, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”

"You're welcome. ”

"We're gone, and you're busy. ”

Xiao Dong turned around and left, but after taking a few steps, he found that his captain was standing still and didn't move, so he turned around and called him, "Team Zhang." ”

Zhang Bai didn't look at him, he lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Ai in front of him, there was still no expression on his face, his expression was cold and hard, "Go home early these days, don't stay outside at night, pay attention to personal safety." ”

Xu Ai raised his head, looked at him, and saw that he had a cold face, so he couldn't help frowning, "Is there something bad happening on our street?"

"It's not just on this street. ”

One sentence made Xu Ai's back chill, and his little face turned white.

Ding Ding, who was standing behind her, also had a pale face, and he couldn't wait to go back to school now, hiding in the school and not daring to come out again.

Xu Ai was a little flustered, turned his head and said to Ding Ding, "You go back to school now, don't come here for the time being." ”

"But you're ...... alone"

"I don't open the store at night, so it should be fine during the day. ”

Tintin, "Then I'll help you, you can't do it alone." ”

"Don't come here, take a week's vacation first, and then come back when it's too peaceful. ”

Seeing that she insisted, Tintin nodded.

Zhang Bai kept standing behind the two of them, listening to Xu Ai speak, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did he scare her?

Ding Ding left with his bag, Zhang Bai still didn't leave, and Xiao Dong stood at the door and waited quietly.

He didn't understand why the captain had to follow him to investigate, but now he peeked at the flower shop proprietress and finally understood the captain's ulterior motives.

However, when he thought that his captain finally had a woman he liked, Xiao Dong was excited.

It's not easy, it's not easy, an old iron tree is finally going to bloom, this is a happy event, and the happy event has to be shared.

So he took out his mobile phone and opened the small private group of the criminal police team.

The private group has a very cheesy name, called 'Man Eighteen and One Flowers'.

Zhang Bai is naturally not in the group, if he is in this group, how dare everyone speak freely.

......

After Ding Ding left, Xu Ai turned around and looked at Zhang Bai, who was still standing aside, she looked up at him, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Bai, "Where's your phone?"

Xu Ai didn't understand what he was going to do, but he hesitated, walked to the side, took the phone and unlocked it, turned around and handed it to him.

Zhang Bai took the mobile phone, saved his mobile phone number, and then handed it to her, "This is my mobile phone number, call me if you have something." ”

With that, he turned around and left.

Xu Ai watched him walk out of the flower shop, he walked very fast, and disappeared after a while.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at his phone, which had the phone number he had just saved and his name......

"Zhang Bai,"

Xu Ai whispered to herself, "The name is quite nice." ”

.......

After a period of time, Xu Ai opened a store during the day and closed home before dark.

In this way, more than half a month passed, at noon this day, Xu Ai was busy packing the bouquet ordered by the guest, and the wind chime rang at the door, she thought it was the guest who bought the flowers, so she didn't reply and said, "Welcome, look at it." ”

The other party's footsteps walked straight in her direction, calm and powerful.

Xu Ai's heart tightened, and she immediately looked back, but saw Zhang Bai in civilian clothes walking towards her.

Different from the police uniform he wore last time I saw him, he wore a casual outfit today, with a light gray cardigan on the upper body and a black jacket over it, a pair of black sweatpants on the bottom, and a pair of brand-name sneakers.

It's still a head, but that face seems to be a little thinner than the last time I saw it, and the whole face is more and more angular, cold and compelling.

When this thought came to mind, Xu Ai himself was startled.

When did she pay so much attention to him?

Feeling a little unhappy, Xu Ai withdrew his gaze, didn't speak, and turned back to continue the unwrapped bouquet in his hand.

Zhang Bai saw that she glanced at herself, and turned back to busy herself, he was already a little taciturn, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

So, he just stood aside in silence, didn't speak, just watched her busy quietly.

Surrounded by flowers, she sat in the middle, wearing a white V-neck sweater on her upper body, a long black skirt underneath, and her smooth black hair was casually pulled into a low bun, hanging low on the back of her head.

As she lowered her head, a large white ...... appeared on her neck.

Zhang Bai glanced at it, then quickly withdrew his gaze, lowering his eyes and not daring to look again.

Xu Ai was busy with the work in hand while waiting for him to speak, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see him speak, so he couldn't help but look back at him, "Do you have something?"

Zhang Bai looked up at her at this time, still with no expression on his face, "The case has been solved." ”

Xu Ai, "Oh. ”

After saying that, neither of them spoke again, and fell silent again.

After a long time, Xu Ai looked up at him, "Are you still in trouble?"

"I want to buy a bouquet of flowers. ”

Xu Ai was stunned for a second, she thought he was coming to her, but it turned out that he was here to buy flowers.

It turns out that people already have girlfriends, but they are thinking nonsense here.

Xu Ai was suddenly a little annoyed with herself, she really loved to be amorous.

Turning around, she continued to wrap the bouquet in her hand, and her voice faded, "What kind of flowers do you like?" ”

"I don't know much about this, can you recommend it for me. ”

Xu Ai, "There are cheaper and more expensive, which one do you choose?"

"Expensive. ”

"688 a bunch, WeChat Alipay or cash?"

"WeChat. ”

Xu Ai didn't look back, raised his hand and pointed at the counter.

Zhang Bai followed her line of sight and looked at the counter, where WeChat payment was placed, so he walked over with his feet raised.

took out his mobile phone, scanned WeChat, and paid 688.

Xu Ai immediately received a reminder on her mobile phone, and she said while she was busy, "You go and sit aside for a while, it will take about half an hour." ”

After saying that, she had already wrapped the bouquet in her hand, held the bouquet and put it aside, picked up her mobile phone and called the rider who delivered the flowers.

After the call, she went on to get busy.

688 is the most expensive bouquet in her store, the bouquet is not big, but every flower in it is delicate and precious.

She picked flowers on the side, and Zhang Bai sat on the sofa not far from her, sitting straight, with a meticulous expression on her face, quietly watching her pick flowers.

The noon sun poured in from the floor-to-ceiling window, falling on her hair, dyeing her black hair orange, she herself looks gentle, this time it is warm and soft, and it has become a beautiful painting in Zhang Bai's eyes.

Particularly precious.

His fingers on his knees moved, and he wanted to pull out his phone and take a sneak peek.

But he's used to being serious, and he can't do candid photography.

A person came in at the door, the wind chimes rang, and Zhang Bai turned his head to see that it was a single delivery rider.

The other party called Xu Ai directly, "Sister Xu, are you ready?"

Xu Ai turned around, raised his finger and pointed to the bouquet wrapped aside, "Xiao Liu, there is a card in it, don't drop it." ”

"Okay, don't worry, Sister Xu, then I'll go. ”

"Slow down on the road. ”

"Okay. ”

The rider left, and there were two of them left in the shop, one was quietly packing bouquets, the other was sitting silently, and the whole flower shop was only the slight movement of Xu Ai when making the packaging.
