Chapter Sixty-Eight: Her Father's Slum
"Yezi, why did you come back so early today?" Duan Tiannan smiled softly and looked at the girl.
"The boss said that it was suitable for sleeping on a rainy day, so he didn't come to open the door." The girl smiled skillfully and greeted the group of middle-aged people.
Everyone responded with a smile.
Residents of urban areas, even those who are next door, often do not know each other.
On the contrary, this slum retains good neighborhood relations.
Only then did Lu Wen know that the middle-aged Duan Tiannan and the girl turned out to be a father and daughter.
But Duan Tiannan's face belongs to the kind of people in the crowd that can't be remembered at a glance, and he still can't remember it after a few more glances, doesn't it all say that his daughter follows her father's appearance? This is also outrageous......
"You two are here to eat, hey, I thought they were here to shelter from the rain." Only then did the shopkeeper notice Lu Wen and the others, and handed over the menu with a smile.
"It's fine."
Xia Chuluo didn't look at the menu and ordered two beef noodles.
Lu Wen scanned the girl beside him.
【Duan Momiji】
[20-year-old human female]
【Homeless】
Is working in a bubble tea shop considered a jobless vagrant in the system?
Lu Wen thought about it, maybe it was because of the labor contract.
"Sister, what kind of work do you do, it's really enviable to be able to carry a bionic person with you to assist in the work."
"Private Detective."
"Ah, no wonder my sister can see what I do at a glance."
"It's not safe in this area lately, so I don't go out at night."
"Uh-huh."
Lu Wen always felt that the content of the chat between the two was a little weird.
It's normal, but it always sounds like something isn't right.
The rain came and stopped quickly.
Before the noodles were finished, the rain stopped.
After a while, several people finished eating.
The girl Duan Hongye said goodbye to the two, and then left the noodle restaurant with Duan Tiannan.
Lu Wen looked at the backs of the two leaving, groped his chin, and thought for a while.
"That girl is the murderer?" He said suddenly.
Xia Chuluo was stunned and looked up at Lu Wen.
She pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth, but didn't respond immediately.
"Let's go, go back to the 13th district, the doctor told me to rest."
"Then I'll take it as if you admit it."
……
Outside the low bungalow.
The girl Momiji took out the key and opened the door.
The room is always a little dim, and an energy-saving lamp does not make the living room appear bright.
"Why are you going to see her?" Momiji threw his backpack on the sofa, and his flat tone seemed to be a different person, judging the girl who always had a smile on the corner of her mouth at the noodle restaurant.
"Meet an old friend's daughter."
Duan Tiannan smiled, walked to the kitchen, and took out a bottle of cold beer from the old refrigerator.
Although this middle-aged man has escaped middle-aged fortune, his belly has gradually taken on a tiny scale.
"If she were that person's daughter, how could she live to be so old?"
"Matter of principle, you, still don't understand the ...... of our generation"
Duan Tiannan turned on the TV with a smile, held a beer in his hand, leaned on the sofa, leaned down, and was half-lying.
It's those old westerns again, and a strong sense of history comes to you.
Momiji also likes to watch a movie from the last century.
"Do you know that "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"?" She asked.
"What's so nice about that, that is, you little girls like to watch it."
"Heh, you still don't understand our generation!"
“……”
The corners of Momiji's mouth are slightly upturned, and he pulls back a game.
She turned and walked into the kitchen, took out a bottle of milk, and sat down on the couch as well.
In this small room, it seems that it has not changed for more than ten years, the same old objects, the same old movies, but some people have grown up, and some people have slowly grown old.
"Xia Chuluo knows it's you."
"I'm ...... today"
"She knew it yesterday, and even the android next to her might have seen it."
"Why?"
The girl Momiji obviously didn't believe that she had done well enough.
She and Xia Chuluo are the same age, and she is confident that she will not lose to any of her peers.
"The deliberate milk tea stains have already made you lose a trick."
"What else?"
"Murderers like to return to the scene after committing a crime, some to see if the scene is perfect, some to appreciate their masterpiece, and some to show off in front of the executive...... You belong to the third category. ”
Duan Tiannan paused, poured a sip of beer, and moistened his throat.
"You want to see how Xia Chuluo is looking for the murderer, you want to see her helpless, and you swagger in front of her, which makes you feel very accomplished...... But you still don't know her, what Xia Chuluo is best at is analyzing the psychology of others. ”
"I remember I told you before, when it's over, go as soon as possible, the farther the better, so that you can live a little longer, only two kinds of people will return to the scene, one is a fool, the other is a peerless genius, and you ...... Not a genius. ”
Momiji was silent, holding a milk bottle in his hand.
Duan Tiannan always smiles very gently on weekdays, and he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, and he rarely criticizes Red Leaves.
But this time is different.
"If she really wanted to catch you, you wouldn't be able to come back yesterday."
"But this is a slum, and anyone on the street may be wanted, and she doesn't dare to arrest me!"
"It's a slum indeed." Duan Tiannan looked at the handsome cowboy on TV, and said calmly: "Her father's slum ......"
……
Black sedans gallop down city roads.
While driving, Lu Wen told Xia Chuluo his analysis.
"It's like you're talking to her...... You've known each other for a long time, either she's known you for a long time, or you've known her for a long time. ”
"You've been enlightened lately?"
"I'm already smart, okay, otherwise why would you ask me to be your assistant at the time?"
"Because I promised to keep you from dying at the time, it just so happens that I don't have a cook at home."
“……”
Before the car had even entered the 13th arrondissement, rain fell from the sky again.
Lu Wen turned on the wipers, his vision was still a little blurred, and the gray clouds in the distance were like strange beasts crawling under the sky, wandering among the tall reinforced concrete buildings.
"I've found that since you know you're in debt, you've become more and more proactive in analyzing things."
"This ...... Is this your scheme? ”
Lu Wen suddenly felt that people's hearts were sinister.
Of course, Xia Chuluo is also good for him, and since the first day they met, he has been instilling him with all kinds of life-saving knowledge.
"By the way, you really knew that Momiji before?"
"I don't know, but she should have known me from some source."
"Why didn't you catch her? Because it's a slum? ”
"No, because there is no evidence, the evidence should be ...... It's all in that middle-aged man's house, and the two of us are not the opponents of that middle-aged man now. ”
Lu Wen thought about the middle-aged man Duan Tiannan who had met twice.
Suddenly found that just relying on his own memory, he couldn't remember what he looked like, and he had to rely on the image left by the memory chip.
This person is too ordinary.
