At night, the moon and stars are scarce.

At about half past ten, when the population gradually thinned out, a middle-aged man walked alone on the wide street.

The street lamp stretched his back very long, exuding a strong sense of depression.

His usual seriousness and righteousness are also gone at this moment.

Lin Xu followed this person all the way without saying a word, but was not noticed by the other party.

It's not because of how clever Lin Xu's tracking skills are, but because the person being tracked is too absent-minded and unalert.

The mobile phone that Ouyang Luo specially bought for him vibrated in his pocket, and Lin Xu took out the phone number that was from his "boss".

He took the phone and said a very soft "hey".

"If you don't go home at night, are you too busy or are you fooling around?"

Ouyang Luo asked straight to the point.

Lin Xu hesitated: "In ...... Job. ”

"What are you involved in as a civilian? Come back quickly and don't be robbed! ”

"Huh? ...... robbery?"

"What if you lose it at night? Today is not peaceful, and the next person to be killed is you. ”

Lin Xu asked in a low voice while following not far away: "You also know about today's events?"

Ouyang Luo didn't hide it: "Such a big movement, I'm not blind or deaf." At present, we are still tightening control, and if the situation is not well controlled, it will cause panic. ”

Lin Xu didn't feel much surprised when he heard it.

At that time, so many pairs of eyes witnessed it with their own eyes, and even if they wanted to block it, it would take some time to play with it.

Lin Xu: "...... I'll be careful. Are you going to recycle this case today? ”

Ouyang Luo on the other end of the phone: "Ask this?" Why, who blew the pillow wind on you?"

Lin Xu: "Just ask."

Over there, Ouyang Luo was silent for a while and replied, "Of course." This is beyond the norm. According to the regulations, it must be run by the royal family himself. Even if it were handed over to them, they wouldn't be able to do anything. ”

"Can't you slow down?"

"Huh? What does this have to do with you?"

Lin Xu sighed as he looked at the middle-aged man who was slowly walking into the residential area in front of him, and wandered left and right for a while and walked back.

"I ...... Please, you can take a break. ”

"Why?"

"I'm walking back now, I'll tell you in a moment."

"Hey! Where are you now? Why don't I come and pick you up? ”

……

Xingguanglou didn't know how he got home from the city bureau.

He "Bang!" I closed the door with a bang, leaned on the door for a while, and then suddenly rushed into the bedroom like crazy, and flipped around in the bedroom. His demeanor bordered on madness.

Where is it? Where?!Where exactly?!!

Eventually, he found something in the corner of a drawer that he wanted to forget but couldn't look at.

- Iron sheet, a small piece of iron that is rusty but still has a reflection effect.

The iron sheet is uneven, and there is a certain picture engraved on it.

Xingguanglou hurriedly took out the piece that he had kept privately during the day and fought with this piece; The similar pattern on the iron plate suddenly pierced his eyes with a sharp pain.

Xing Guanglou's eyes were red and his nose was sour, and tears welled up like springs.

Suddenly, the memories of the past swept over; The bad past made him resentful and sad; The wonderful memories also made him even more heartbroken.

……

"Daddy, daddy, can I want that little rabbit?"

"Little Jiang can't walk. Little Ginger wants his father to hug him!"

"Daddy Hold High!"

"Xiao Jiang had a birthday yesterday, and his father didn't come......"

“…… I made a wish, I want my mom and dad to be able to play with me all the time, to buy me a lot of good food, and then I'll give you half of it!"

……

"Ahhh Woooooooooooooooo Mom!! Father! Father!!! Mom!!! I'm afraid! I'm afraid !!"

……

This usually unsmiling, upright and serious criminal policeman suddenly couldn't stop crying, and kept wiping his tears with the back of his hand but couldn't wipe them clean.

The last thing that resounded in my mind was the indifferent eyes of my six-year-old daughter, with a smile on her lips, and she spoke to him in a pleading and calm tone.

"Dad, you, kill me."

Xing Guanglou suddenly roared, and clenched the two pieces of iron tightly like crazy, and the sharp edge of the iron sheet cut into his palm, and he didn't know it.

—————

Lin Xu finally went back by himself, he was not a person who was willing to trouble others.

As soon as I got home, I didn't see Ouyang Luo and saw Ouyang Wenjia first.

The girl first gave him a warm hug for some reason, and then dragged him to the hall upstairs in a daze.

There was Ouyang Luo, who looked a little strange, and Ouyang Luo saw him gurgling a glass of red wine, and picked up a bouquet of blue flowers next to him and walked towards him.

Seeing this, Lin Xu was very confused by the second monk.

But he subconsciously felt that his back was slightly cold, and he took a step back at the moment, but was blocked by Ouyang Wenjia.

Which tendon is wrong today? Is this going to give me flowers? What can I do? ……

Somehow, he Lin Xu thought so in his heart, but there was still a sense of nervousness.

Ouyang Luo walked over and handed over the flower, and Lin Xu stiffly caught it and looked at him suspiciously.

“…… How long have you two been? If you can't soak like you, you have to prove your ideas with practical actions, shouldn't you be very good at this? ”

Ouyang Luo's words echoed in Ouyang Wenjia's heart, and he quietly glanced at Wen Jia at this moment.

But he was also quite strange, why did he, an idle person who had lived in a thousand flowers, be in a state of death when he arrived here with Lin Xu?

It's not like he hasn't touched a man before......

Lin Xu looked at Ouyang Luo's lollipop out of his pocket at some point, and he was a little surprised, he didn't know what this master wanted to do.

……

"Do you know what is the most reinvigorating thing about childhood happiness? Whoa!"

Ouyang Wenjia suddenly held up a lollipop, "Give it to him!" Let him know that you care about him in particular. ”

The voice of his out-of-tune sister echoed in his mind, Ouyang Luo frowned, and stuffed the lollipop into his mouth with a "click" and bit it off.

Then he smirked at Lin Xu: "This is quite sweet, huh?"

Lin Xu: "??"

Ouyang Wenjia behind Lin Xu glanced at Ouyang Luo, and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the embarrassment.

"Happy Birthday! Xiao Xuxu!"

As soon as these words came out, all the lights in the hall came on, and a Sven stranger slowly approached with the melody of "Happy Birthday to You", followed by a half-human-tall gorgeous cake and a wide variety of meals.

Lin Xu was stunned for a while...... It's my birthday...... He had forgotten about it.

The birthday party went well.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Lin Xu woke up violently, and he had to be on duty today.

"Don't worry, I took a day off for you. Saturday wants to exploit you too?"

Ouyang Luo didn't know when he came in, and there were three giant dogs wagging their tails at his feet.

"It's noon? Why isn't my alarm going off? ”

Ouyang Luo pushed a delicate small cart and put a hearty breakfast on it, as if Lin Xu was the owner of this house.

"I turned it off for you last night, see if you sleep soundly."

Lin Xu was stunned for a moment - it is true that in the past few years, yesterday seemed to be the most restful sleep, and when he woke up, it was dawn.

"Alright, let's put things here and eat them slowly. For the sake of your birthday, I will give you a day off. ”

"Thank you. How do you know my birthday? ”

Lin Xu began to eat. Try your best to restrain yourself from the wind and clouds.

"It's not a secret, you can know it casually."

Lin Xu raised his eyebrows, isn't it, he has already been clearly touched in front of these people.

The two were silent for a while, and they didn't seem to be able to find any topics to talk about, so Ouyang Luo had to continue his previous conversation.

"By the way, last night you said you asked me not to recycle this case......"

"Hmm. Can you not recycle? ”

Ouyang Luo deliberately made a very embarrassed appearance: "I won't tell you, this is not our idle egg, it is indeed if this kind of thing is handed over to those ordinary people, they can't do it!"

Those people want instruments without instruments, and they have no experience if they want experience. Just relying on enthusiasm to survive may not be able to pay it back.

You have to think about what it will be like when this kind of case becomes an unsolved case. ”

Lin Xu listened carefully while eating.

He already understood what Ouyang Luo meant. This bizarre case itself is full of mystery, and the criminal cases involved give people a sense of ominous violence.

The combination of mystery and violence is already terrifying, and people are accustomed to gossip and exaggerate such things.

If such cases are solved or a reasonable explanation is given, it may be possible to suppress it; If the failure to solve the case becomes an unsolved case, then the panic is likely to turn into a move. A precursor to chaos.

Thinking about it this way, Ouyang Luo's approach is actually very appropriate.

Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end or not, it is undoubtedly best for the royal family to control public opinion and ease public sentiment.

But......

He remembered the Xingguang Building he saw last night, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

His sixth sense strongly told him that Xing Guanglou must have something to do with this incident and was still a victim.

Ouyang Luo looked at Lin Xu quietly, he didn't interrupt Lin Xu's deep thought without recklessness, his slender fingers stroked his dog's hair from time to time.

"But I think the captain has something to do with this......

Then, Lin Xu made up his mind to tell what he saw yesterday and some of his guesses.

Ouyang Luo picked a smile on the corner of his mouth and looked at him leisurely.
