Chapter Forty-Eight: See the Wooden Man Again
Waiting for them in the office were two frightened girls, one of whom was familiar, they had seen it before, and Rao Hai and Zhang Chao came together, and the other was the first time they had met.
"Oh, it's you......" Dai Xu looked at the familiar face and suddenly realized, but after opening his mouth, he was stuck again, and he held it for a long time, and he didn't call out the other party's name.
Fang Yuan almost couldn't hold back her laughter on the side, not that this incident itself was funny, but she suddenly remembered that Dai Xu did have such a trait, he could easily remember the other party's appearance, but as long as it was an insignificant person, not a suspect, not a victim, not an important witness, just a passerby, he didn't bother to remember the other party's name at all, not to mention this little girl who only had a one-sided relationship, even when they came to the internship together, in the first three or five daysLater, under Lin Feige's repeated protests, he finally remembered her name, but he also changed the name of others from time to time to "Lin Baige", for this matter, Lin Feige jumped for a while, complaining vigorously why he was the apprentice of his "in-law", Dai Xu couldn't remember the name, but it was Fang Yuan, the intern who was "entrusted" to him, he remembered it well, It's called familiar.
Of course, so far, this matter is not an unsolved mystery for Fang Yuan, why does Dai Xu remember Fang Yuan's name so solidly? Because he's known her years ago.
After Fang Yuan snickered in his heart, he hurriedly pulled back his thoughts. opened his mouth to relieve Dai Xu: "You are Zhao Zinan, right?" Why did you come here again today? Are you looking for something with us? ”
Dai Xu listened to her inquiry, the little dazed look in his eyes was suddenly swept away, and Fang Yuan secretly sighed. He really guessed correctly, and he really forgot the name of this little girl in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Zinan nodded, her little face was miserable and white, without a trace of blood, even her lips seemed to be a little white, she and the girl beside her held hands, body to body. The girl was also very thin, with the same white face, and both of them were trembling. It's just that the clothes are very thin, the outside is continuously cooling, the temperature is already low, Fang Yuan prides himself on carrying the insulation layer with him. They were already wearing thick coats. The two girls were only wearing school uniforms, and from the neckline, there were only thin T-shirts inside, so there was really no way to tell whether their shivering and bloodless faces were because they were frightened or because they were too cold.
"I ...... I...... We ......" The other girl was obviously more nervous, after all, Zhao Zinan came to the Public Security Bureau one more time than her. So a little bit more courage than her, of course. It's only slightly, although it is an open mouth, but it is only stammering, and after only spitting out four words for a long time, it is already impossible to speak.
"Let's sit down for a while, isn't it cold outside? I'll pour you some hot water. Dai Xu saw that Zhao Zinan was trembling and couldn't even speak, so he had to sigh, and while motioning for them to sit down, he walked towards the water dispenser not far away.
Dai Xu went over to pour hot water for the two little girls, Fang Yuan originally wanted to beckon the two of them to sit down, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind again, and decided to take them to the reception room, after all, the environment in the office was a bit cold and hard, which was easy to make people nervous, originally these two girls looked like their nerves were about to break, and then stayed in the office, who knows when the two of them will be able to relax a little. It's not too early to see now, it's already dark outside, and I don't know if these two girls are running away from self-study at night, or asking for leave, whether they live in school or go to school, and after dealing with the two of them for a while, they have to consider sending them back to school or their respective homes safely and securely.
Fang Yuan silently pondered in his heart, and said hello to Dai Xu, Dai Xu also understood what she meant, nodded approvingly, and Fang Yuan took the two girls directly to the reception room.
The environment in the reception room is relatively much more friendly than the office, the light is very bright, the sofa and the small tea table also make the environment a lot softer, less cold and hard in the office, Fang Yuan settled them down and sat down one by one, Zhao Zinan and her female classmate were still close together, holding hands, as if they were emboldening each other, Fang Yuan looked at the two of them like this, thought about it, and took out two packs of cranberry biscuits from his coat pocket, which she had put in her pocket before, after the weather was cold, Once you are too busy to take care of the time, you are easy to go hungry, and when you are hungry, you are prone to stomach pain, after listening to Dai Xu say how stubborn Zhong Han's stomach disease is, and how much pain he has endured, Fang Yuan also learned a lesson, and began to develop a good habit of carrying a little snack to fill her stomach when she is busy, not only herself, when she is busy and can't take care of eating, she can also give Dai Xu a little, after all, even if it is Dai Xu, he does not have a copper intestine and iron stomach, and it is not okay to eat irregularly.
Now, these two packets of cookies can come in handy, she handed the two small packets of cranberry cookies to Zhao Zinan's hand, and said to her: "You and your classmates should eat something first, and then drink some hot water later, this time, directly from the school?" Is it an early day or is there something else going on at school? ”
Zhao Zinan took the biscuits and handed them a pack to his companion, the girl took them silently, held them in her hands, and didn't say a word, Zhao Zinan took the biscuits in her hands, fiddled with them, and didn't have any intention of taking them apart to eat, and said: "I didn't leave school early, and the two of us have something to do with you, so ...... Just came straight over. ”
After saying this, she suddenly shuddered again, pursed her mouth and stopped talking, Fang Yuan saw this, and there was a faint guess in her heart, it seemed that these two girls should not be because of the environment. So the dish is nervous, if it is because of the environment of the Public Security Bureau, the girl who took a photo for the first time is reasonable. After all, he is not very old, and he may not have dealt with people from the Public Security Bureau before, and it is understandable that he feels a little depressed and nervous for the first time in this kind of place, and it is not difficult to imagine, but Zhao Zinan is here for the second time, and the last time he followed Rao Hai and Zhang Chao. She's not the type of person who is very stage frightened when she talks, so what's wrong with this time? brought the two of them to the reception room, and they had a pleasant conversation. It is to bring them biscuits to eat, and this kind of action can not make the two little girls relax in the slightest, which can only explain one problem, the source of the tension between the two of them. That's the purpose of their coming to the Public Security Bureau today to find someone.
Fang Yuan didn't rush to ask. Dai Xu hasn't come over yet, no matter what it is, it would be better to have Dai Xu present, although Fang Yuan still thinks that she can handle it in the face of two high school students, but at work, she has become accustomed to treating Dai Xu as the backbone, even if she has to deal with things alone. With Dai Xu watching from the side, she will also feel extra down-to-earth. Confident.
Soon, Dai Xu came in with two glasses of water, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the cranberry biscuits that the two girls were holding in their hands, and knew that they were given to them by Fang Yuan, so he walked over with a smile, handed them two cups of hot tea, and said, "Yo, that's right, just eating biscuits may be a little too dry, right?" Drink some hot water and warm up. ”
Zhao Zinan's female companion was still more nervous, looked at Dai Xu timidly, and didn't dare to reach out to take the paper cup immediately, or Zhao Zinan reached out and took two glasses of water, handed a cup to his companion, held a cup himself, and subconsciously turned the cup in his hand, looking at a piece of tea floating on the water in the cup, looking a little upset, as if he wanted to speak, but lacked enough courage.
Dai Xu sat down next to Fang Yuan and faced the two girls, he waited for a while, and seeing that the two of them didn't mean to take the initiative to speak, he took the initiative to ask: "Zhao Zinan, didn't you just come with Rao Hai and them last time?" Why is it coming again this time? What's the matter with us this time? ”
When Zhao Zinan heard this, she suddenly raised her eyelids and looked at Dai Xu, who seemed to be a little surprised, she opened her mouth slightly, looked at Dai Xuzai carefully, and then said with a little surprise: "You...... You were the last time you met with her? ”
This "she", of course, refers to Fang Yuan who was sitting next to Dai Xu, Dai Xu nodded, the surprised expression on Zhao Zinan's face became even more obvious, she looked at Dai Xu again, and muttered: "Why does it look different from the last time...... I didn't even recognize you...... Light recognizes her! ”
Needless to say, of course, this is due to the fact that Dai Xu shaved his beard and changed his dressing style, and colleagues who get along with him every day and night will be surprised to see Dai Xu's changes, not to mention Zhao Zinan, a stranger who has only had a one-sided relationship, saying that he didn't recognize Dai Xu at all, it is estimated that there is a little bit of exaggeration in it, but the original impression of Dai Xu was not too deep, and this time he looked like he was not quite the same as before, so Zhao Zinan didn't dare to admit it, this is still very possible.
Dai Xu changed his style, and his appearance looked a little different from before, this incident distracted Zhao Zinan for a while, and the whole person couldn't help but relax a little, this can be regarded as a good thing, but a good thing is a good thing, she is also an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, she always stares at a man's face in such a daze, what is going on? Fang Yuan saw that Zhao Zinan didn't mean to look away, so he cleared his throat in time, and finally let Zhao Zinan take back her stunned gaze.
"The rest of you are still studying at school, right? If you have any problems, let's talk about it quickly, and when we are done, we will send you back to school, and it will be dark outside. She said to Zhao Zinan and her female classmates with a kind attitude that she already had the intention of going straight to the point.
"We ...... We're coming to you...... I'm looking for you, I'm going to give you this! Unexpectedly, once she went straight to the point, she saw the nervousness that Dai Xu had forgotten, and she was picked up by Zhao Zinan again, she couldn't help but stammer, and while stammering, she took out something from the pocket of her school uniform jacket, and as if she was afraid that the thing would bite her hand, she quickly threw it on the ground.
She didn't look at the stammering words, the speed of speech was very slow, but the movements in her hands were very fast, from digging out her pockets to throwing things out, it was only a blink of an eye, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan only saw a black thing thrown out of her hand, the thing fell to the ground, made a click, and bounced on the ground twice before finally coming to a standstill, and Dai Xu and the two of them only saw clearly what the thing on the ground was.
It is a small wooden man, the size of a palm, the carving is a little rough, and the surface has been rubbed with a lot of mud, a little dirty, and I want to make it look like an old object over the years.
It's almost the same as the one they found out of Ke Xiaowen's locker before.
Dai Xu leaned down and reached out to pick up the little wooden man on the ground, his actions caused the two girls to shrink again, Zhao Zinan looked at the little wooden man with a frightened face, and then looked at Dai Xu who picked up the little wooden man: "You, aren't you afraid that the little wooden man has any bad luck and curse?" How dare you touch it! ”
Dai Xu flipped the wooden man in his hand over, and sure enough, on the front of the wooden man, on the position of the face, there were also two small holes, which were painted red, and they were really exactly the same as Ke Xiaowen's. He listened to Zhao Zinan's words, smiled, and didn't care, while handing the little wooden man to Fang Yuan beside him, and letting her put it in the evidence bag he carried, he asked Zhao Zinan rhetorically: "Why should I be afraid of this thing?" There's no such thing as a curse or anything in this world. Don't you dare to touch it, otherwise how would you have brought this thing? ”
"You think I want to?" Zhao Zinan said with a sad face, "If this thing is placed on the ground, I will definitely go far away, let alone touch it, I won't take a second look!" The problem is that today is also unlucky for both of us! This kind of thing was actually encountered by us! Oh, no, it's all to blame on Rao Hai! If it weren't for him, this thing wouldn't have fallen into the hands of both of us! (To be continued......)
