Episode 24
Bai Xin closed the door and let out a melancholy breath.
She didn't think much about it, but she still covered her head and fell asleep.
When she got up in the morning, she didn't go out to eat breakfast, she warmed a bag of instant noodles and ate it casually.
In the matter of eating instant noodles, Bai Xin is also particular.
If you can rinse it with cold water again, using the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the heat of the original expansion of the noodles is compressed, and the texture of the noodles is tightened, and the taste is better.
Bai Xin is depressed, that is, she can't cook, so she can make so many tricks by eating instant noodles.
What if someone invited her to eat a big fish and meat at this time?
"Jingle bells."
Just then, the phone rang just in time.
Bai Xin clicked on the call button to answer, and she was very angry, as if the other party could hear it through the screen.
Yes, the dialer paused for a long time and did not dare to speak.
Bai Xin resented: "Hey? Who is it? β
"Miss Bai."
On the phone, the voice of the person speaking is inevitably distorted. But even so, Bai Xin can accurately identify the owner of this voice, this is Shen Bo.
"How do you have my number?"
"It doesn't matter, what matters is, do I have the honor to treat you to a meal?"
"Now? Now we have to eat breakfast," she said, glancing at the clock, "it's only seven in the morning." β
"Then have a breakfast, okay?" Shen Bo chuckled, "My working hours are eight o'clock, and I have exactly an hour to spare. β
Bai Xin is speechless, if it's a conversation with a girl, can you use it so positively?
After a while, Shen Bo sent a position over.
Bai Xin couldn't refuse, so he could only change his clothes and rush to the car.
When she went out, she happened to meet Su Mu and said embarrassedly, "Good morning, Teacher Su." β
"Good morning."
He nodded in acknowledgement, because the weather was hot and dry, even if he had a cold, he only wore a pure white short-sleeved shirt, looking neat and neat, like a big boy.
"Then I'll go first." Bai Xin waved his hand.
"Wait a minute." Su Mu called out to her.
His eyes were sharp, like a sharp blade, and the face of the knife was cold and full of oppression.
Su Mu looked at Bai Xin for a while, and then lightly opened his thin lips, "Who are you going to see?" β
His voice was weak, like a midnight candle flame, barely audible.
He didn't ask where he was going, but who he wanted to meet.
Obviously, some of Bai Xin's clothes revealed her whereabouts, but she really didn't want to care about them.
"Shen Bo invited me to breakfast, so I went to the appointment."
Bai Xin felt that there was a ghost in hiding it, and said generously, with Su Mu's observation, he would feel that she had nothing to do with Shen Bo.
Wait, does she have anything to do with Shen Bo, what is the matter with Guan Sumu?
Does she need to be so anxious to clarify with him?
Su Mu's fingers clenched, and there was a hint of blue and white on his knuckles.
He avoided Bai Xin's slightly puzzled gaze and said, "Oh, it's okay, you can go." β
"Well, then Mr. Su will come on in class, I'll go."
Bai Xin trotted away and fled.
She is hiding from Su Mu, this person can't hide if she doesn't dodge.
Also, doesn't he usually leave for class at 7:40? Why are you going out at 7:20 now?
It can't be for her, right?
How is it possible, it must be a coincidence to get up early, after all, Su Mu can fall asleep at nine o'clock in the evening, and it is also very good to take care of his body like the elderly.
When he arrived at the breakfast shop, Shen Bo really ate breakfast there.
He put the ordered breakfast in Baixin, pushed a stack of peeled quail eggs, as well as two siu mai, and a bowl of freshly boiled soy milk.
Shen Bo smiled and explained: "Eating beans, protein, and sugar in the morning is good for the body, and you should eat such a combination to maintain the body's nutritional balance." β
Bai Xin was not polite, and took a bite of the siu mai, the fragrant glutinous rice spread between her lips and teeth, and the crispy fried meat and corn kernels in it seemed to dance on the taste buds, stimulating her nerves.
How did she not know that there was such a delicious restaurant before?
Bai Xin was immersed in the world of food, and almost forgot about the thin storage zΓ i.
She quickly wiped the grease on the corner of her mouth and sat upright: "What is Mr. Shen looking for me for?" β
"I heard that you quarreled with Su Mu?"
Bai Xin was shocked: "How do you know?" No, we're not arguing, I'm okay with him, and I didn't quarrel......"
Su Mu is definitely not the kind of person who shares his dynamics to some circle of friends and Weibo, yes, Shen Bo knew these things, which surprised her, and she secretly doubted, could it be that she and Su Mu were being watched by Shen Bo?
The thoughts in Bai Xin's heart turned a thousand times, but he opened his lips and stopped talking.
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything," Shen Bo said, "Su Mu blocked my WeChat, but added my account, so I can see his circle of friends." β
Okay, is Su Mu really the one who posts his news to the circle of friends?
"How did he write about the circle of friends?" Bai Xin was curious about this.
"He wrote that he had ingested cyanide-potassium by mistake but did not want to use sodium thiothioate (bleach) for gastric lavage."
"What do you mean?" Bai Xin didn't understand.
"If he accidentally ingests cyanide-potassium poison, he will die, so it means that he wants to die and does not want to save himself. I want to mail him this chemical and let him fulfill his wish. β
"Huh...... Scold. Bai Xin tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed.
Su Mu's way of dissatisfaction is still always special.
"So, I'm curious about what kind of person can make him change so much, and he even uploaded a photo of the snake he fears the most, obviously, he just wants to scare himself to death."
"Uh, this...... So, what the hell is going on with me? Bai Xin was speechless.
"I want to cooperate with you, so that he can continue to be immersed in such pain and unable to extricate himself, I can give you 500,000 for a month."
"Forget it." Although the money is very tempting, Bai Xin really doesn't want to have anything to do with this brother, how can one be weirder than the other.
"The price can be increased as long as you agree."
Bai Xin's eyes wandered, if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and agree to this request.
She looked down and saw a book called "Master of Ideas" on the table on Shen Bo's side, changed the subject, and asked, "Mr. Shen is reading this book?" β
"Well, this is what my colleague recommended to me, and it is said that the author's mental abilities are amazing."
"How can this kind of book be published, and I am not afraid of being called superstition." Bai Xin muttered.
"Anything is possible, not to mention, as long as you put the label of psychology, you can get away with it, and it is very easy to publish."
"Yes, but these masters are just gimmicks, where does anyone really have the ability to mind."
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Miss Bai, have you decided whether you want to cooperate with me? I can pay up to 100 ......"
Bai Xin hurriedly stopped, she got up, and said, "Don't say this, I won't agree, I have to go back to the unit to have a look, then Mr. Shen eats slowly, I'll go first." β
Once again, she fled.
I'm going to work tomorrow, Bai Xin has nothing to do, so I'm just going to the unit today to take a look, she must have a lot of work left behind.
As soon as he entered the office door, Bai Xin was pulled by Senior Brother Wang, "Bai Xin? Just in time, come and help. β
"Senior brother, I'm still on sick leave."
"Is there a spirit of selfless dedication to the country and the people? How did you swear when you were a doctor? Don't say if you have it, hurry up and help, remember to wear protective clothing well, in case the wound on your hand is infected or something, it is not a work injury. Senior Brother Wang took some equipment and ran to the morgue again.
Bai Xin couldn't, so he could only put on a safety protective suit and put on gloves before entering the house.
There is already Senior Brother Wang inside, and Xiao Lin has been assigned to other cases, and he is also busy at this time.
There was a female corpse on the stage, her head was bleeding, her clothes were disheveled, there were kiss marks, and the clothes on her back were a little black, which was scorched marks.
Bai Xin checked it and said, "Brain thrombosis and fell to your death?" β
Senior Brother Wang nodded, "She fell from the stairs and died, and there is nothing special about the wound." It is said that he was pushed to the windowsill by his boyfriend and smashed the glass, so he fell to his death. β
"What's wrong with that? Strife or love killing? Didn't the murderer get caught? β
"No, the murderer was caught in the first place, so the body was sent for examination. But the murderer flatly denied it, saying that he did not do it, and when he saw the person who called the police, he shouted again, saying that it was the person's mental power and blamed him. β
"Mindfulness?" Bai Xin frowned, and she thought of the book "Master of Ideas" that she read in the morning.
"Well, but everyone has stolen goods, he can't shirk it if he wants to, there are only fingerprints of him and the deceased in that room, there is no third person, this is an impulsive homicide."
"Well, just look at the evidence and speak," Bai Xin nodded, "Who is the person who called the police?" β
"It was Zhang Tao, the author of "Master of Ideas", the ex-husband of the deceased, he was about to visit the deceased that day, but he heard the sound of falling to death outside the house, so he called the police in time, and no one went upstairs."
"There are also eyewitnesses, the murderer can't escape." Bai Xin said.
"But do you think it's really a mental effort?"
"How is it possible, don't believe those weird things."
They handed in the autopsy report and were busy for nearly five hours before they left work.
Senior Brother Wang said that he wanted to invite Bai Xin to dinner, but Bai Xin had been scared recently.
She refused, planning to take the subway home by herself.
Bai Xin arrived at the station, but the person had not come back to his senses.
She stopped in front of a poster outside a bookstore, looked at the smiling man on it, and saw that this man was holding a book in one hand and pointing to the slogan on the poster with the otherβmore magical than magic, the special function of human mind.
Bai Xin only glanced at it twice, and felt that the words were exaggerated and chattering.
As she walked in the direction of home, she wondered: Is there really a mind in this world?
How is that possible?
Does she just say in her heart that she is tired of walking, and a car will stop to pick her up?
As soon as Bai Xin finished thinking about it, a car suddenly stopped on the side of the road, and she was startled.
The window rolled down, and it turned out to be Su Mu.
"Playing with Shen Bo until so late and coming back?" He glanced at Bai Xin and asked, "If it's going home, do you need me to give you a ride?" β
