Jiang Yu: "!! ”

Qiu Xuan: "Don't look back. She single-handedly cut off the power adapter in Jiang Yu's hand, and the vast and empty interrogation room was soon pitch black, leaving only the small battery-powered lights still flickering with a dim glow. After reacting, Jiang Yu quickly pulled out the matching gun in the gun clip on his waist, and reached out to protect Qiu Xuan behind him.

"Ordinary bullets can't be effective." Qiu Xuan poked her head out from behind him, "Don't get excited, it doesn't look like it's trying to attack us. ”

"Can you see who got it?" That being said, Jiang Yu still tightened his muscles and grasped the gun after years of good training and experience in the police career, and he carefully took Qiu Xuan back to the dim light, temporarily out of the visual range of the "thing" on the ceiling - if "it" could be seen.

Through the unclear lighting, Qiu Xuan squinted her eyes and looked at the dark and blurred ceiling. The black shadow hanging upside down like a gecko was not very large, and when he saw them retreat into the shadows, he tilted his head very humanely, and it still seemed that he had no intention of attacking them.

"Qiu Xuan, this is the door card." The calm criminal police captain changed the hand holding the gun to his right hand, and with his left hand, he took out a hard card from his waist pocket and handed it to Qiu Xuan. "I'll be in charge of attracting 'it' attention later, and you'll take the opportunity to open the door and run out to call someone, do you hear?"

Qiu Xuan slowly took the card, but her eyes kept following the black shadow on the ceiling without moving. "Feasible is feasible, but it doesn't make sense." She whispered behind Jiang Yu's back, "You can't see it at all, and you don't know its specific location and attack range, and now it's just a waste of death if you go out." ”

"I'm not talking to you!" The man roared in a low voice, "Execute the order now, immediately!" ”

Qiu Xuan sighed.

Suddenly, she felt something flash in front of her very quickly, and when she refocused her gaze and looked again, the strange black shadow was gone from the ceiling.

She scolded in a low voice, reached out from behind her to hold Jiang Yu's gun-holding palm, and shot at the darkness in front of her without hesitation with his own strength.

"What are you doing!" Before he could blame anything, a strange child's crying voice suddenly sounded from somewhere in the dimly lit ceiling, a high, high-pitched voice that could not be distinguished from male to female, but it felt like that of a little girl.

A yin wind swept sharply, and with years of experience, Jiang Yu pressed Qiu Xuan's short body to dodge. Qiu Xuan was stuck under the crook of his arm, blinking her eyes but sensing the figure that flashed in front of her.

"Jiang Yu, what's going on inside Jiang Yu!" The voice of the middle-aged criminal policeman came from outside the door, and then there was a chaotic sound of chaos, and the thick and processed door was opened from the outside. The middle-aged police officer and the criminal policemen on duty outside the door rushed in, and the bright flashlight was turned on to the maximum and shone back and forth at them.

His eyes were suddenly stimulated by the bright light, Qiu Xuan turned his back and rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, and then under Jiang Yu's explanation, they finally turned on the backup power and turned off the flashlight.

Sure enough, the child on the ceiling was gone.

"Why are the monitors and lights turned off, what the hell is going on?"

"It's a long story." Jiang Yu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and then reached out and pulled Qiu Xuan to let her sit on the chair again. In the next second, Qin Jiuyuan squeezed through the crowd and strode over, just like that, he wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yu as if he wanted an explanation.

Qiu Xuan explained: "It's not a big deal, it's just ......" Her unfinished words were interrupted suddenly, and she suddenly looked at the two people sitting on the bench in the waiting area behind the crowd, frowned and asked, "Why are they here?" ”

The two people who were obediently sitting on the stool were Qin Xiao and Du Ruo, and seeing Qiu Xuan's eyes looking at them, Du Ruo was still in the mood to wave his hand at her with a smile.

If Du Ruo is also here, then, will the child lying on the ceiling just now be the little ghost raised by Du Ruo? As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he was immediately vetoed by Qiu Xuan himself.

Du Ruo's little ghost is a boy, just like the child puppet who was replaced by the tooth fairy. And although it was just a casual glance, the one in the police station today was indeed a little girl.

Besides, Qiu Xuan always felt that the evil spirit of the child was more like a kind of surveillance and observation than waiting to ambush them here.

“…… If it's okay, you can go back first, those two are family members, and they happened to be at the scene when the restaurant manager reported the crime, so they came with me later to facilitate our multi-faceted records. Jiang Yu raised his hand to interrupt the middle-aged officer's posture of obviously wanting to pursue something, sighed and turned his head to look in the direction of Qin Jiuyuan and Qiu Xuan. We'll let you know if there's something going on, and now you can go. ”

"That's right, Qiu Xuan." He pressed a few times on his mobile phone to call Qiu Xuan's mobile phone number, and the bell rang in the solemn interrogation room, Qiu Xuan looked down at the unfamiliar number on the screen. After that, the bell was hung up after a few rings, and Jiang Yu said: "If you have anything or clues, please contact me at any time, I will look for you if I have something, pay attention to check the information." ”

"Okay."

On the return car, the four of them were silent for a long time, and finally Qin Xiao opened his mouth to break the atmosphere of dead silence. "Hey, Qiu Xuan. I said you shouldn't always cause trouble at home, what do you mean by always going to the public security bureau, you ......"

"Qin Xiao." Qin Jiuyuan coldly looked at the road conditions outside the car window in front of him, and said without squinting: "Take care of your own affairs, don't always take care of others." ”

"Don't, people, what?" He repeated it in a strange way, and it was like the last straw, and the boy slammed the leather cushion as if he couldn't stand it any longer. "What do you call someone else's? She's my girlfriend, and it's the family affair you set for me personally, what's the matter, now I want to regret it, why did I go earlier! Don't you think you're too close to my future wife, father, dear? ”

The screeching sound of brakes dragged a long trail on the side of the road, and the occupants of the car fell forward uncontrollably, but the person who slammed the pedal was unmoved.

"Repeat, who is your future wife?"

The extremely cold voice sounded, and the young man, who was still not in the deep world, subconsciously swallowed his saliva and cringed, but then straightened his waist and said stiffly: "Am I wrong?" At the beginning, it was the family matter set by the grandmother herself, and you have never objected, which means that it is the default...... Yes, you are the default! ”

"Don't you know what dirty things you're doing?! And the face is here......"

"Uncle Qin!" The crisp and bright female voice interrupted the confrontation between father and son, and Du Ruo frowned and seemed to be a little embarrassed. "Qin Xiao is just in a bad mood today, he didn't mean to go against you, please forgive him this time."

"Why do you want him to forgive me!" Qin Xiao slammed away Du Ruo's hand holding him, "It's always been like this, do you ask him if he has fulfilled his duties as a father?" They were the ones who wanted me to fall in love with a woman of unknown origin, and now he is the one who regrets it! Yes, I admit that I know why my grandmother wants me to be with her, but is it my fault? If you hadn't done this first, I wouldn't have been like this! It's all your fault, it's theirs! ”

"Get down." Qin Jiuyuan's eyes were extremely faint, as if he was looking at a clown who jumped off the beam, he didn't even look back at Qin Xiao at all, he just said indifferently in the rearview mirror: "Since you are so dissatisfied, just break away from the Qin family, anyway, you don't care about this, do you?" ”

"Okay, good, Qin Jiuyuan, that's what you said." Qin Xiao gasped and glared at the man sitting in the front seat viciously, "Second Uncle has no heirs, and I am the only heir." Don't come and beg me to come back then! ”

As he said this, he decisively got out of the car and slammed it on the door. The body shook lightly twice under such brute force, Du Ruo was stunned, and then said as if he was entangled: "I'm sorry Uncle Qin, I apologize to you for Qin Xiao first, please forgive him this time." I'm afraid he'll do something stupid, and I'll take him to apologize to you in person. ”

As she said this, she quickly got out of the car and chased after Qin Xiao.

Qiu Xuan sat on the co-pilot and propped his head to watch the two of them exit as if they were acting in a drama, but raised her eyebrows a little unsatisfactorily.

Sure enough, the Dogblood Family Ethics Theater is one of the few joys she has in this world. Of course, it would have been better if she hadn't been one of them.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry, little girl." Qin Jiuyuan turned his head, his eyes were no longer indifferent from before, only sincere apologies and a little ...... Remorseful?

This kind of emotion is really rare on his face.

"Why apologize?"

"For the sake of my acquiescence in your marriage to Qin Xiao at the beginning, for the sake of my indifference and indifference all along, for the sake of ...... Pushing you into a fire pit knowing it's dangerous. ”

"Oh......" Qiu Xuan dragged out a long tail note, with a look of indifference on her face. So now you regret using me to exchange Qin Xiao's life, right? ”

The man's pupils constricted for a moment. "You know?"

"Guess a little."

“…… Why aren't you angry? ”

"Because for me, it was only from the first time I saw you in the kitchen that my 'this life' officially began." Qiu Xuan unbuckled her seat belt and leaned over and gently hugged the man's shoulder. "Everything before that was a dress rehearsal at best. I've been saying, it's nice to meet you, it's nice to see you again. Because the joy of reuniting again is already beyond all in itself, all the waiting and obsession before that are worth it. ”

The other side was silent for a long time, and then Qin Jiuyuan also raised his hand and hugged her almost cautiously, as if he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that all this was just an imaginary illusory light and shadow.

After the time of the two worlds, they contained the mountains and rivers in their chests, the sun, moon and stars in the back of their heads, and embraced each other in silence until they fell into the end of the endless cold abyss together.

“……”

Long.

"Alright, almost." Seeing that the longer he hugged, there was a tendency to never let go, and Qiu Xuan reluctantly struggled. "Don't hug me yet, let's find a place to order takeout."

"What do you want to eat?"

"KFC home delivery."

“……”

When the two of them returned to the Qin family after eating and drinking, they tacitly did not mention Qin Xiao again. During this period, Qin Jiuyuan hinted many times that he wanted to send Qiu Xuan away and no longer stay here, but he was vetoed by Qiu Xuan one by one.

Let's not talk about whether something will happen if it's too far away from the main plot, just the coming-of-age ceremony after three months is enough to give her a headache.

After the two were temporarily separated, Qiu Xuan walked back to his room, and the moment he pushed the door open, he realized that something was not right.

A subtle, easily overlooked aroma is mixed with an otherwise familiar scent. Qiu Xuan herself is not used to using perfume, she knows that Du Ruo doesn't use it, such an obvious female fragrance, so the only remaining candidates for the elimination method are Ah Lian and Bai Wei.

These two people, what reason did they come to unlock their rooms?

Qiu Xuan first took out Qin Xiao's doll and looked at it, but found no clues. Immediately afterward, she turned up and down, the man's movements were very cautious, and she still couldn't find the clue that half of the time had been turned.

He let out a sigh and sat back on the bed, but suddenly he suddenly turned over and touched the pillow as if he remembered something. The pillow was what she looked like before she left, and it didn't seem to be a big problem, and the next second, Qiu Xuan took out a pair of scissors from the toolbox with a gloomy face, and broke the pillowcase with a few clicks without hesitation.

With a soft thud, a bloodied tooth fell to the ground.

“……”

Another human tooth.

If she hadn't found out in advance, the tooth fairy would still be here tonight, and this time she might not have been able to get away with it like the previous times. The person who put the tooth must be very familiar with the story of the tooth fairy, and it is more likely that he is also a person who can also "see".

Is it Ah Lian, or Bai Wei? Who does this tooth belong to this time?

Qiu Xuan held the blood-stained human tooth in the palm of her hand, staring at the pillow that had been cut to pieces.

Knock knock.

"Enter."

The man who had just changed into a lounge coat walked in naturally and leaned against the table beside him. "School starts tomorrow, I'll send you in the morning, you can save some time."

"Okay."

"What's wrong with the low mood, you ...... What's going on? Touching the completely torn pillow on the floor, Qin Jiuyuan frowned and took two steps forward. What happened? ”

"Ah, it's okay, it's just a little accident." Qiu Xuan said casually, "By the way, did Du Ruo and them come back?" ”

"Nope."

"You haven't come back yet?" It was already ten o'clock, and Qiu Xuan looked at the alarm clock and frowned.

"You should teach that kid a lesson." Qin Jiuyuan sneered, and then looked at her and changed his face. "Leave him alone, go to bed early, and wake up early tomorrow."

At this time, the door of the living room on the first floor was opened, and Du Ruo immediately walked in, with no one behind him.
