The fifth day of the first lunar month is also known as the Breaking Five Festival.

This day bears too many people's hopes and aspirations, so there are many taboos on this day in ancient times, such as eating dumplings on this day, not cooking with raw rice, and not allowing women to visit the door, but now there are many people who have celebrated this festival, and not many people remember this festival, and the same is true of the small county town of Zhuxi County, but Xu Lang's family remembers, because this day is Xiao Yueyue's birthday.

In fact, whether Xiao Yueyue was born on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xu Lang himself did not know, the reason why that day was set as Xiao Yueyue's birthday was mainly because Xu Lang met Xiao Yueyue on the fifth day of the first lunar month, which was the first time their father and daughter met.

Xu Lang gave Xiao Yueyue a simple birthday in the first year of coming to Zhuxi County, Xu Lang had no friends in this strange small county, and no one he knew, whether it was Sister Zhang's family next door or Wu Liang's family, they all met later, and it was at that time that they only knew Xiao Yueyue's birthday.

On this day, Xu Lang's house was very lively, Sister Zhang came to Xu Lang's house with her son to celebrate Xiao Yueyue's birthday, and Wu Liang also began to take a vacation after the case was solved in Sanli Village, and he also came to Xu Lang's house with his wife, in addition, there were several other policemen from the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

For the family that only had Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue in the past, today's home is much more lively.

Today, Xu Lang didn't cook, Sister Zhang and Wu Liang's daughter-in-law were busy in the kitchen, while Xu Lang and Wu Liang and others were talking, chatting, and playing cards at home, while Xiao Yueyue was watching TV in the living room with Sister Zhang's son.

Xu Lang and Wu Liang talked most about criminal cases, and the topic revolved around the murder case of three dead and five injured in Sanli Village, Wu Liang and they were still sighing, and they killed people for a few gossips, which was too much to say, and they felt that it was not worth it.

Xu Lang didn't make much comment on this, because he had seen too many stories behind the murders, and he was used to it, or he was numb.

After everyone finished chatting about the murder in Sanli Village, Wu Liang looked at Xu Lang and asked curiously, "Brother Lang, what did you do before?" ”

Hearing Wu Liang ask, the others also turned their heads to look at Xu Lang, they were very curious about this man who was alone with a child and had long snow-white hair, especially the other party was very experienced in solving cases, with their keen sense of smell, they felt that Xu Lang was not a simple character.

Xu Lang knew what they wanted to know, so he smiled slightly and said, "I didn't do anything, I opened a detective agency before, and I also assisted the local police in solving a few cases." ”

When other people heard Xu Lang's explanation, they all chose to believe that the profession of detective may only appear in novels or film and television dramas for ordinary people, at that time, for those of them who are policemen, they know this industry, although there is no detective in Zhuxi County, but there are still in the first-tier cities of Huaxia.

Other people believed Xu Lang's explanation, but Wu Liang didn't believe it, although he hadn't seen a real detective, but in film and television dramas and novels, he also knew that the detective industry was more for those who had money, such as checking that the husband was raising a mistress outside, and the wife was raising a little white face outside, or checking the details of the opponent's company, digging into the other party's privacy and other things, solving the case is the police's business, after all, they are professionals, and there are few things where the police and detectives cooperate, even if there is, It's not a big case either.

However, Xu Lang has given Wu Liang too many surprises in the past five years, not to mention Xu Lang's smart mind and keen intuition, accurate judgment, just to say that when Xu Lang saw the corpse, his attitude of being pampered and not shocked was not as simple as a detective, and there was also that Xu Lang knew and knew very well about the police's methods of handling cases, and even, sometimes, Xu Lang would tell Wu Liang some skills that he had not learned before, and these were not things that a detective should know at all.

People are full of curiosity, some people can suppress the curiosity in their hearts, and some people can't suppress it, Wu Liang is the latter, he has investigated Xu Lang's files many times, however, the files he can see are very simple, without the slightest suspicion, which makes Wu Liang feel puzzled at the same time, but also more and more curious.

In the murder case of three deaths and five injuries in Sanli Village, Xu Lang actually arrived at the scene of the murder with Xiao Yueyue, who was not yet six years old, and took the little girl to touch the corpse, which made Wu Liang more and more shocked, especially the sentence that Xu Lang said to Wu Liang inadvertently at that time.

"It's not the first time Xiao Yueyue has seen a corpse."

It's not the first time, it means that Xiao Yueyue has seen the corpse before, but Wu Liang clearly remembers that in the past few years that Xu Lang came to Zhuxi County, although he asked Xu Lang's opinion many times about the case, he rarely took Xu Lang to the morgue to see the corpse, let alone Xiao Yueyue to see the corpse, so where did Xu Lang take Xiao Yueyue to see the corpse? Wu Liang was puzzled.

Just when Wu Liang wanted to ask Xu Lang something about him, Sister Zhang walked out of the kitchen and said to them who were chatting, "It's time to eat." ”

Xu Lang immediately stood up, walked to the dining room, and began to clean up the table and prepare to eat, while Xiao Yueyue also went to the kitchen from the living room to help serve the dishes.

Others also began to come to the restaurant to sit, Wu Liang's daughter-in-law saw that Xiao Yueyue was so sensible, her eyes showed a touch of love and doting, and said to Xu Lang: "Xiao Yueyue is so young, she is so sensible, and she will definitely be a filial child when she grows up." ”

No one doesn't like to hear others praise their children, and so does Xu Lang, hearing Wu Liang's daughter-in-law say this, a proud smile appeared on Xu Lang's face, and he looked at Xiao Yueyue dotingly.

The dishes were quickly served, a group of people sat around the dining table, Xu Lang put the cake that had been prepared long ago in front of Xiao Yueyue, six candles were inserted on the cake, and on the top of the cake was written Happy Birthday to Xiao Yueyue.

After a group of people sat down, Wu Liang's daughter-in-law said to Xiao Yueyue, who was wearing a small hat: "Little birthday star, hurry up and make a wish." ”

Xiao Yueyue immediately folded her hands, closed her eyes, and made a wish to the cake.

It didn't take long for Xiao Yueyue to open her eyes and look at everyone, and said in a milky voice: "It's over." ”

Everyone sang the birthday song when Xiao Yueyue made a wish, and after hearing Xiao Yueyue say this, Wu Liang said in surprise: "What kind of wish did you make, so fast?" ”

Xiao Yueyue rolled her eyes at Wu Liang, and said crisply: "Wishes can't be said, and if you say them, they won't work." ”

"Haha..."

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst out laughing.

At this time, Sister Zhang said to Xiao Yueyue: "Quickly blow out the candles." ”

"Yes, yes, blow out the candles, blow out the candles." Wu Liang and a few people hurriedly said.

"Hoo ......"

Xiao Yueyue puffed out her cheeks and blew out the candle in front of her, and then, she didn't show how happy she looked, but sighed old-fashionedly.

"Hey..."

Wu Liang's daughter-in-law was both amused and curious when she saw Xiao Yueyue like this, so she asked, "What's wrong Xiao Yueyue, aren't you happy to celebrate your birthday?" ”

"It's fun."

"Then why sigh?"

Xiao Yueyue wrinkled her little face and said bitterly: "My birthday indicates that I am a year older again, hey......"

"Haha......"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed, but Xiao Yueyue's little face wrinkled a little, Xu Lang also had a smile in his eyes, and glanced at Xiao Yueyue helplessly, stretched out his hand, rubbed Xiao Yueyue's head, and didn't say anything.

Wu Liang looked at Xiao Yueyue, then turned his head to look at Xu Lang, and said with a complicated and strange look: "Brother Lang, Xiao Yueyue is too precocious." ”

Regarding Wu Liang's words, Xu Lang just smiled and didn't say anything, just beckoned everyone to start eating and drinking.

For a while, the table was very lively, the men pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and the women were talking about some gossip while serving vegetables to the two children, and the topic still revolved around Xiao Yueyue.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and everyone was eating happily, suddenly, two people walked in from outside.

This is a pair of young men and women, both of them are not very old, it is estimated that they are about the same age as Xu Lang, and everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands to look at them after seeing these two people who look a little dusty.

They didn't know this man and woman, they thought that these two people were Xu Lang's friends, especially when they saw the beautiful woman when they saw Xu Lang, the affection in her eyes, and the gloom when she saw Xu Lang's snow-white hair, the woman had not yet spoken, and her eyes were full of tears, which made everyone feel very puzzled and curious, so they turned their heads to look at Xu Lang.

Xiao Yueyue also put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand at this time, looked at the man and woman who suddenly visited, and turned her head to look at Xu Lang, she didn't know these two people, and she was also very puzzled.

When Xu Lang saw these two people, he was originally full of bright smiles, but at this moment suddenly became gloomy and dignified, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head and looked at the two people standing at the door, frowned, and asked without a trace of emotion: "Why are you here?" ”

When the man and the woman heard Xu Lang's words, the man's expression was a little embarrassed, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the woman, and after the woman heard Xu Lang's words, her eyes showed a touch of gloom, however, she quickly restrained the emotions on her face, raised her hand and touched the corners of her eyes, then looked at Xu Lang and said, "Xu Lang, long time no see." ”

"Brother Lang, long time no see." The man also said quickly.

Xu Lang's brows became more and more furrowed, and he looked at the two of them and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
