Early in the morning, Xiahoudun got up from the kang, looked around a little confusedly, sighed slightly, and then put on some on the ground. He glanced at the mirror on the low cabinet on the other side of the kang for a moment, hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at Xu Chu who was still sleeping on the kang, and walked to the side of the low cabinet.

Xiahoudun picked up the mirror on the low cabinet and looked at himself in the mirror, even if he was prepared in advance, he was inevitably startled by his left eye after taking off the gauze. He looked at his left eye, due to the effect of the power of the fighting spirit, the pus and blood were gone, the swelling had disappeared, and the pain had disappeared, but the bright left eye before could no longer come back, leaving only a disgusting piece of dead flesh.

Xiahoudun was in a hurry for a while, and wanted to drop the mirror angrily, but reason told him that the mirror was not his, and he couldn't drop it casually, and besides, the matter had come to this point, no matter how angry he was, it was useless, so he slowly put down the mirror and walked out of the door.

Xiahoudun was in the hall and looked around. In the corner of the hall was a stove, and cupboards and old chests were neatly placed on the wall. In addition to the gate leading to the front and back yards, there are three doors in the hall, one is the guest room where Xiahoudun and Xu Chu live, and the other two, probably one is the bedroom of Aunt Zhao and Zhao Xiuling, and the other is the bathroom, but the two doors look the same, and there is a curtain in front of the door, so you can't tell the purpose. Xiahoudun didn't want to disturb Aunt Zhao and their rest, so he walked to the front yard and wanted to breathe.

Xiahoudun only took one foot, and then heard someone in the room behind him shouting, "It's so early", Xiahoudun hurriedly looked back, only to see Zhao Xiuling looking at him with a smile.

"Woke up so early?" Zhao Xiuling took a few steps forward, "I thought you people in the city liked to sleep lazy." ”

"I'm used to getting up early," Xia Houdun smiled kindly, "How can you make money to support your family when you sleep lazy." ”

Zhao Xiuling didn't speak at first, just nodded thoughtfully, and then chatted with Xiahoudun again, "You said yesterday that you have a younger sister who is slightly older than me?" ”

"Yes" Xiahoudun looked up at the sky, probably because he was not used to sleeping on a pillow, and his neck was a little uncomfortable, "I'm in college now." ”

"It's nice to go to college." Zhao Xiuling said with a sigh, her eyes showed envy and curiosity, and when she saw Xiahoudun looking at her, she smiled a little embarrassedly, "You can be a little free when you go to college." ”

"What grade are you in now? Going to high school? Xiahoudun asked.

Zhao Xiuling nodded and said, "Sophomore in high school, I will be admitted to university next year." ”

"Oh," Xiahoudun nodded, "Then what major do you want to take?" ”

Zhao Xiuling glanced at the haystack next to her, and said eatingly: "Actually, I don't understand, Xun Yu said, I am suitable to learn broadcasting and hosting." ”

"Broadcast host, it's really suitable for you." Xiahoudun looked at Zhao Xiuling and felt that this girl was delicate and cute, articulate, and indeed a seedling who was a host, "Xun Yu is quite close to you?" I hear you all call him 'Dog Leftover'? ”

"Yes, he came a lot, and my grandmother called him 'Dog Leftover', and we followed suit." Zhao Xiuling replied, "He will come every week or two to bring some things and money to the family. As he spoke, Zhao Xiuling pointed to a door in the room and said, "Oh, he also installed that toilet." ”

"What's your relationship?" Xiahoudun felt a little curious.

Zhao Xiuling lowered her head, her eyes slanted to the side, she thought for a while, then slowly raised her head, looked at Xiahoudun and said, "I don't know what the specific relationship is, and grandma can't say it clearly." ”

Zhao Xiuling saw that Xiahoudun no longer spoke, so he turned around and walked into the house, walked a few steps, and then turned back to Xiahoudun and said, "You haven't brushed your teeth yet, have you?" I'll take you there. ”

"Oh, okay." Xiahoudun had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he was not very accustomed to this place, he didn't know how long he would stay here, all this came too suddenly, and now the only thing he can do is to slowly learn to adapt to the environment here. Thinking like this, Xiahoudun entered the door and followed Zhao Xiuling.

The Yan capital at the end of the year was very dry and cold, coupled with the biting cold wind, which made Xiahou Yuan, who had just stepped out of the car, shiver. Xiahou Yuan first straightened the tie that he would not wear on weekdays, tightened the coat on his body, and looked up at the brand of the Linglu Bureau Yuan Rang Group, with a completely different feeling from the past. The eldest brother who was worried about his whereabouts unknown, and hesitated to explain to his sister, coupled with the fact that his sister-in-law is pregnant, he is afraid that he will be stimulated and damage his body and affect the child, these problems that he would never think about on weekdays turned into pressure and threw it on him, which made the big boy who had been hiding under the protection of his brother but didn't know that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier than before, and he had to bear all this bravely as the only man in the family.

Xiahou Yuan sighed slightly and strode into the office building.

"Xiahou Section Chief is early!" Qiao Lili saw Xiahou Yuan walk in, bowed slightly and said hello, but suddenly changed her words: "Oh, no, it's the team leader......" In fact, Xiahou Yuan's matter was reported to the group yesterday, Qiao Lili naturally knew, and she was also sad in her heart, always thinking about what to say to Xiahou Yuan, but she didn't know where to start, congratulations to Xiahou Yuan on his promotion, it was naturally inappropriate, but it was difficult to speak when she stepped forward to comfort her, so she had to repeat it again in a whisper, "Xiahou Group Leader is early." ”

Xiahou Yuan probably knew what Qiao Lili was thinking, so he smiled reluctantly, making himself look less decadent, "Early! ”

"Section chief," At this time, Zhang Jianyun happened to come down from the second floor and bumped into Xiahou Yuan, remembering that he and Xiahouyuan went on a mission together, but failed to protect the team leader, and actually made these things, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, "Section Chief, I ...... it"

"It's okay," Xiahou Yuan stepped forward, patted Zhang Jianyun's shoulder, and comforted: "You have done a good job." ”

"But ......" Zhang Jianyun was even more ashamed when he heard Xiahou Yuan say this, so he had to lower his head, blush, and whispered: "But I was at the scene at the time and witnessed everything, but I couldn't do anything, and I couldn't excuse the team leader in the inquiry desk." I'm negligent, I'm useless! ”

Xiahou Yuan turned his head to look outside the gate, sighed softly, looked at Zhang Jianyun again, and deliberately opened the topic and asked, "Did they tell you to go to the inquiry desk?" ”

"Yes......" Zhang Jianyun raised his head and replied weakly.

"They don't have a hard time for you, do they?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

"Huh?" When Zhang Jianyun heard Xiahou Yuan's question, he didn't ease up for a while, and was stunned for a while before replying, "No, no." ”

"That's good." With another stiff smile, Xiahou Yuan patted Zhang Jianyun's shoulder again, and walked upstairs, just stepped up the stairs with one foot, turned his head and said to Zhang Jianyun: "Don't think too much, work hard." ”

Xiahou Yuan went upstairs all the way, greeted his colleagues all the way, and finally came to the team leader's office on the third floor, a familiar and unfamiliar place. Pushing the door in, the scene in front of him surprised Xiahou Yuan. I saw Liu Wenjing in the office, removing all the things on the original bookcase, squatting there and rummaging through something; Behind the desk on the side, Xun Yu was sitting there, looking carefully at the computer's display screen.

Xun Yu saw that Xiahou Yuan had come in, looked up at the clock, it was exactly nine o'clock, so he pushed his glasses, revealing his trademark, somewhat semi-ridiculous smile, and said to Xiahou Yuan: "Yo, the new Xiahou team leader, I thought that when you took office, you would arrive at the unit ten minutes early." ”

"Why are you here?" Xiahou Yuan threw the briefcase in his hand on the sofa, took off the down jacket and hung it on the clothes rack, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Find something." Xun Yu stood up from the office chair, picked up the paper cup on the table, and took a sip of water.

Xiahou Yuan glanced at Xun Yu, then at Liu Wenjing, who was squatting beside him, and asked suspiciously, "What are you looking for?" ”

Xun Yu laughed out loud when he heard Xiahou Yuan's question, and said, "What are you looking for?" Of course, it's the reason why your brother Xiahoudun was framed and displaced. ”

"Why?" After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan was even more puzzled, "Is there a reason for this thing?" ”

"Nonsense." Xun Yu said, and saw Liu Wenjing putting everything back on the bookshelf there, so he walked a few steps in the direction of Liu Wenjing and asked, "Did you find it?" ”

"Didn't find ......" Liu Wenjing finished packing her things, turned around, and looked at Xun Yu and Xiahou Yuan.

"Oh, thank you." Xun Yu said, pushing his glasses again, "You go and get busy with you first." ”

"Okay." Liu Wenjing answered and walked out of the office.

Seeing Liu Wenjing leaving, Xiahou Yuan asked again, "What do you mean?" ”

Xun Yu pointed to the sofa, motioned for Xiahou Yuan to sit down, walked a few steps aimlessly in front of the coffee table, and said, "According to the confessions of Lu Bu and Cao Ren at the inquiry desk, I found that this demonic operation seems to be more than just to destroy the Hades Gate. ”

"What do you mean?" Xiahou Yuan pushed the briefcase aside with a confused look and sat on the sofa.

Xun Yu paused, sat down too, and said: "On the afternoon of the day of the incident, Xiahoudun arrived at Meng De's place to meet Cao Ren, and this news was delayed by an hour to report to the headquarters because I had something at the time, and according to Lu Bu, it was after my news was sent that the demons made another move and arrived near the place of the incident, and it was at that time that the third special combat team led by Lu Bu moved to rest. ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't understand what Xun Yu meant, he stood up, walked to the bar at the door, took two cups of coffee from the coffee machine, brought them to the coffee table, sat back down, and asked, "And then?" ”

Lu Bu said in his oral account that when they pursued the past, they found that the demonic qi they were tracking had improved significantly. I think it's probably because of the addition of new pure demons that it can have such an effect. Xun Yu picked up one of the cups of coffee, took a sip, and said, "According to Lu Bu, before destroying the Hades Gate, the demons must have injected a large amount of demonic energy into the cracks of the Hades Gate, and it will take a long time, so they decided to suspend their actions." ”

"What does that mean?" Xiahou Yuan looked at Xun Yu and asked.

Xun Yu put down the cup, was quiet for a while, and went through the thoughts in his mind again before pushing his glasses and continuing: "If there is really such a big movement in the destruction of the Hades Gate, why didn't Lu Bu find out?" ”

"Maybe Lu Bu is in the same group as the demons." Xiahou Yuan said casually, and also picked up the coffee and drank it.

"No, it won't." Xun Yu shook his head and replied very simply.

When Xiahou Yuan heard Xun Yu's answer, he asked, "Why not?" ”

"Listen to me." Xun Yu's expression became more serious, he picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, slowly put down the cup, tasted the coffee in his mouth for a while, swallowed it slowly, and then spoke again: "Lu Bu didn't find that it was just one of them, but even the detector at that time did not react violently, which shows that the Hades Gate did not start to destroy it at that time, but the demons almost destroyed the Hades Gate early, just waiting for the ripe time to completely destroy it, And they make us think they did it on the night of the incident. ”

Xiahou Yuan lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and then raised his eyes to look at Xun Yu, "You continue." ”

"So," Xun Yu looked at Xiahou Yuan, "If it's just a simple ritual destruction of the Hades Gate, do you need two pure demons to appear at the same time?" They could complete the task without realizing it, but why did they fight against Xiahoudun and Cao Ren in one fell swoop? And why did Xiahoudun become demonized in such a dramatic way? Why didn't Cao Ren have it, Lu Bu didn't have it, and only Xiahoudun? ”

"For ...... Why? When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he was a little unfavorable in his speech.

"There is only one possibility," Xun Yu raised the index finger of his right hand and said, "This is a farce prepared by a purposeful attempt to frame Xiahoudun, and their purpose is to kill Xiahoudun." It seems that the murder of Xiahoudun is not the first time, according to the monthly report of the team leader, the last time, Xiahoudun encountered a demon attack during an investigation of the ancient tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and at that time an unknown creature thwarted their plan, they were probably afraid that this time they still could not succeed, so they set up such a vicious plan, and threw the matter of killing Xiahoudun to the Linglu Bureau. ”
