Chapter 25: Take the initiative to come to the door
Meng Xuan frowned, Shang Xiaoyu immediately opened his mouth and bit Geng Qingguo's hand holding him hostage, and at the same time his right leg was still kicking his knee, Geng Qingguo was provoked by this sudden attack and made a physiological reaction, Shang Xiaoyu took the opportunity to fall to the side, and Meng Xuan also quickly turned over, unloaded Niu Da's arm, caught the gun in his hand, turned around and aimed at Geng Qingguo and shot.
All the actions are done in one go.
The sound of "bang" exploded in everyone's ears.
Meng Xuan stepped forward and picked up the knife and cut Shang Xiaoyu's rope neatly. The moment his hands were freed, Shang Xiaoyu suddenly pushed him away, and hurriedly dragged Geng Qingguo, who had lost his center of gravity and leaned back because he was shot. However, there was a huge disparity in weight between the two, and Shang Xiaoyu was dragged down by Geng Qingguo together, and both of them fell into the sea.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiaofei immediately got up and jumped into the sea, and a few minutes later, Xiao Xiaofei fished out Shang Xiaoyu and got on the speedboat on the side. The police accompanying him also searched for Geng Qingguo, who was gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Meng Xuan's right hand turned over and jumped down, and then stood firmly in the speedboat. "Hey, I'm not going to do a good job of heroes saving beauty." Meng Xuan complained to Xiao Xiaofei.
Xiao Xiaofei sneered: "Are you okay?" β
"What can't I do!"
"Are you a hero?"
"What doesn't I mean just now?"
"Let's think about how to write a review."
"You two have no end." An impatient voice suddenly sounded.
The two looked over one after another, only to see Shang Xiaoyu, who was drenched, sit up and scolded, "What's there to quarrel about?" I'm a champion swimmer, okay? You weren't saved by me just now at the bottom of the sea! You, I didn't take the documents yet! What's the use of asking for you two cops! β
Meng Xuan saw Shang Xiaoyu slap a bunch of keys in his hand, which he had seen when he saw Geng Qingguo on the first day. There were only two keys and a metal lighter on it, but they had secretly investigated both keys, so there was nothing suspicious.
This lighter...... Meng Xuan opened.
He smiled.
It turned out to be a USB flash drive, and the group of them was fooled by such a gadget.
Also, Niu Da was the only smoker in their group from beginning to end.
"You're dragging him together, just for this." Meng Xuan asked.
"Nonsense, otherwise I won't suffer this sin in vain today." Shang Xiaoyu rubbed his neck.
She looked at the calm of the sea, but she didn't expect that this time the death would be caused by her. Although Geng Qingguo's death had been predicted before, she had just been held hostage in front of her, so she couldn't see the cause of his death, but she didn't expect that it was Meng Xuan who shot him with his own hands.
The follow-up handling of the case was handed over to the police in the Zao District, and Meng Xuan and Shang Xiaoyu went back to the police station to make a record, and all the rest of the work was left to the people below to deal with. Qin Qin also specially called to greet him, and negotiated the parts that both sides of the case were responsible for, and also told Meng Xuan to rest for a few days before going back to report.
Therefore, someone who lives in the algae area shamelessly follows others home.

A taxi stopped at the entrance of the Lishui community.
Shang Xiaoyu got out of the car and glanced at the follower behind her with disgust, she couldn't help it, and accused: "Comrade Meng Xuan, is it appropriate for you to come to my house empty-handed?" β
"You've always come to my house empty-handed." Meng Xuan's tone of retort was so natural.
"I paid the money!" Shang Xiaoyu went berserk. It's just rude.
"I'm handing it over." Meng Xuan smiled.
Shang Xiaoyu, who received these four words, couldn't react with a short circuit in her brain for a while, she looked at Meng Xuan, who had already consciously entered the door of the unit, and was still reminiscing about the meaning of the sentence just now.
Just now, Shang Xiaoyu told Meng Xuan the house number in the car, so Meng Xuan confidently and forcefully knocked on Shang Xiaoyu's door. The door opened, and it was a woman in her fifties, except for the wrinkles between her eyebrows, which betrayed her age, and I have to say that she was still a woman with charm.
Seeing that it was a strange man, Shang's mother smiled and asked, "Are you?" β
"Hello Auntie, my name is Meng Xuan, and I am Shang Xiaoyu's ......"
Shang Xiaoyu just caught up and said angrily: "Passers-by." β
"Passers-by? Come in, come in, come in. Shang's mother smiled and invited Meng Xuan into the house.
Shang Xiaoyu quietly tugged at Shang's mother's sleeve and whispered: "He is empty-handed, and you are still so enthusiastic." β
"When have I not been enthusiastic." Shang's mother scolded her unceremoniously.
"If it were my dad, you wouldn't be so enthusiastic." Shang Xiaoyu muttered to himself.
Meng Xuan was arranged to enjoy fruit drinks and air conditioning TV in the living room, while Shang Xiaoyu was dragged into the kitchen to help. Looking at the big pomp and circumstance of the kitchen, and then looking at the big action of Shang's mother, it should be a big meal.
Meng Xuan, who was sitting in the living room, was looking at the photos all over the wall, and turned around to check when he heard the sound of the door opening behind him, but both inside and outside the door were taken aback, and asked each other in unison why they were here.
Meng Xuan pointed to the big photo on the wall behind him, the photo showed two little girls, combing twist braids, and he asked, "This, it can't be you, right?" β
Shang Xiaoyu poked his head out of the kitchen when he heard the sound and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, Xiao Xiaofei hurriedly came in to help your mother work." Then, she dragged Meng Xuan to the balcony to whisper.
Meng Xuan pulled her away, and Shang Xiaoyu said solemnly: "Meng Xuan, I have mercy to bring you back in view of your homeless situation, you will pay attention to my mother for a while, don't talk nonsense." β
"Okay, I'll just keep eating and make sure I don't talk nonsense." Meng Xuan swears.
After seeing the miserable cooking skills of these two sisters, Meng Xuan was dumbfounded by the standard meal of Shang's mother, and couldn't help but regret that this good cooking skill could not be passed on.
Shang's mother really climbed up with the help of the pole, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Xiaomeng, you can learn from Auntie." β
"What does he learn, if he wants to cook, I'm afraid that he will bring it out to you after the water, and the seasoning is not healthy." Shang Xiaoyu had something to say sarcastically about him.
Shang's mother protected Meng Xuan and counted Shang Xiaoyu for a while, and then hurriedly clipped Meng Xuan with a leek box.
Shang Xiaoyu stopped her with chopsticks and said, "Oh Mom, he is allergic to leeks and doesn't eat leeks." You just let him eat it himself, no matter how much. β
"You know all this, Xiao Meng?" Shang's mother looked at Meng Xuan with a smile.
After Meng Xuan received Shang Xiaoyu's warning look, he just lowered his head and smiled.
Xiao Xiaofei secretly glanced at the "eyebrows" of the two people, and said: "You two know each other, and you won't say a word before." β
"You didn't say it." Meng Xuan fought back.
When Shang Xiaoyu heard this, he glanced at these two people and asked, "I'm just so embarrassed, you both pretend that they have nothing to do with me?" β
Meng Xuan buried his head in the vegetables and did not speak.
Xiao Xiaofei said lightly: "The atmosphere of the two of you is a little delicate." Are you two living together, otherwise how do you know he's allergic. β
"Phew, that's me delivering food, his colleague said." Shang Xiaoyu clarified.
"And the food?" Shang's mother was inexplicably excited.
Meng Xuan saw Shang's mother's intentions, nodded with a wicked smile, and said, "Well, she's afraid I'll be tired." But we didn't live together, I was her landlord. β
"Do you live in that house?" Shang's mother asked.
Meng Xuan nodded, and Shang's mother hit it off: "That's not called cohabitation, what is it?" β
"Mom, that's called a shared house." Shang Xiaoyu really didn't know where the excitement on Shang's mother's face came from now.
"The same sex is called cohabitation, and the opposite sex is called cohabitation." Shang's mother's righteous words are irrefutable. Shang Xiaoyu didn't know where to fight back against her mother's great logic, and when she was speechless, Shang's mother asked again, "Is he your boyfriend?" β
Shang Xiaoyu shook his head desperately, and denied: "No, no, no." β
Mother Shang suddenly dragged out the last sound of "oh", then looked at Meng Xuan and put away her smile, and said seriously: "Move out." β
"Huh?" Shang Xiaoyu didn't react for a while.
"You two have nothing to do with each other, do you have a big girl living with a man and spreading the same words? Hurry up, move out when you go back, and live with your dad. β
"It's not convenient for me to commute to work." Shang Xiaoyu said.
"Then rent it in another place." Shang's mother proposed.
"Then you pay for me." Meng Xuan, the son-in-law, is willing to rent out a high-end apartment community with a good environment, good facilities and high security as a student apartment, where can she take it for such a big bargain.
"Then live in a different relationship." Shang's mother proposed again.
As soon as these words came out, the other three people at the table were dumbfounded, and Shang's mother gave Shang Xiaoyu a blind date in disguise. Meng Xuan instantly understood Shang's mother's good intentions, and hurriedly nodded on the side.
Shang Xiaoyu saw Meng Xuan nodding like pounding garlic, smashed it with a fist, and said, "You beckoning a lucky cat." Mom, let's eat first, don't affect your appetite. β
Shang's mother gave Meng Xuan a reassuring look, and then began to eat calmly at the dinner table.
After dinner, Shang's mother chased the TV series as usual, and Meng Xuan diligently followed around to serve tea and pour water, and the two of them talked and laughed peacefully. And the two sisters Shang Xiaoyu and Xiao Xiaofei in the room, the atmosphere was a little weird.
This house is an ordinary old house, with two bedrooms and two living rooms plus a small yard. Shang's mother usually sleeps in a large bedroom, and Xiao Xiaofei sleeps in this ordinary small room.
The dΓ©cor of the room is simple and capable, there are basically no bells and whistles, and the only eye-catching objects are the various trophies and certificates on the cabinet.
Shang Xiaoyu looked at these honors and said with emotion: "Okay, you, the delicate eldest lady has also evolved into a female King Kong." β
"Shang Xiaoyu, we used to be because of work, and just now because of our mother, now we shouldn't need to be so polite." Xiao Xiaofei kept staring at the computer without raising her head, but she showed no mercy on her lips.
"I didn't have this attitude at the dinner table just now, I gossiped very vigorously." Shang Xiaoyu teased.
"I said, that's because my mother is here."
Shang Xiaoyu saw that Xiao Xiaofei had been staring at the computer mysteriously, so he wanted to step forward to see what this girl was doing, but as soon as she got closer, Xiao Xiaofei immediately pressed the power nervously, and the computer screen went black instantly, reflecting Shang Xiaoyu's surprised expression.
This reaction was clearly excessive.
"You've got something to hide from me." Shang Xiaoyu can be sure.
Xiao Xiaofei sneered: "I have a lot of things to hide from you. I don't think we're close enough to ...... Complementarity. β
Shang Xiaoyu saw that Xiao Xiaofei had been lukewarm, and she was no longer patient, knocking on the table and saying, "I think so too." β
Xiao Xiaofei watched Shang Xiaoyu go out with a displeased face, and sighed helplessly. A phone call came in, she looked at the three words "Sister Yiyi" on the phone, sorted out her emotions and politely picked it up.
And as soon as Shang Xiaoyu, who was holding back his anger, came out and looked at Meng Xuan and Shang's mother looking up to the sky and laughing, he was instantly angry and shouted: "Meng Xuan, hurry up, pack up your things and go back." β
"Why are you going back at night, it's so late, it's not too late to stay overnight and leave tomorrow." Shang's mother came out to stop Meng Xuan before her.
"He's here, is he sleeping with you or with me?"
"I can sleep on the couch." Meng Xuan patted the sofa and said.
Shang Xiaoyu carried his bag, walked to the entrance and began to put on his shoes, and said, "No need, the sofa can't fit you, hurry up, just take the high-speed train back, it's just two hours." β
Shang's mother could guess something when she looked at Xiao Xiaofei's closed door, knowing Shang Xiaoyu's stubbornness, she simply stopped giving more advice, prepared a bunch of meals and daily necessities and stuffed them into Meng Xuan's hands, whispered a few words in her ear and sent the two out of the door.
Hearing the quiet living room for an instant, Xiao Xiaofei came out, looked helplessly at Shangshang's mother, and silently returned to the room. The computer in the room had just restarted, so she clicked on the folder named "AM" again.
