There are still three stops before Ye Xuefei arrives home, and when the car stops at the next platform, Ye Xuefei suddenly stood up, walked from the back of the carriage to the direction of the rear door, and at the moment when the door was about to close, she got off the car.

When Ye Xuefei got off the bus, the bus did not stop and continued to drive forward.

The sense of peeping that had been haunting Ye Xuefei's heart finally disappeared, which made Ye Xuefei's mood gradually relax, but she did not leave the platform immediately, but stood on the platform and waited for the next No. 8 bus.

Three minutes later, the next bus slowly drove over, and Ye Xuefei swiped her card again to get on the bus.

This time, she didn't choose to sit in the vacant seat, but chose to stand at the back door to get off the bus, when the bus slowly drove forward, Ye Xuefei looked out the window, and suddenly, on the side of the street, she saw the woman standing near the door on the bus just now, the woman was wearing a blue jeans, a white blouse on the upper body, and a black backpack on her back, because the car was driving away too fast, Ye Xuefei didn't see the woman's face, but Ye Xuefei was sure, This woman is the same person who had just peeked at her on the previous bus.

Ye Xuefei's already cold cheeks became more and more cold, she didn't understand, why was she being followed and peeped at? She is just an ordinary forensic doctor, and she is not a criminal police officer who is struggling on the front line and often deals with criminal suspects, although every time a murder occurs, she will take someone to the scene of the murder as soon as possible to conduct a preliminary autopsy, but Ye Xuefei feels that she is just doing what she should do, and she will not make enemies with some people, but, fortunately, she changed cars, and the sense of peeping has disappeared.

The three stops arrived quickly, Ye Xuefei got off the bus with the flow of people, she did not return home as soon as possible, but went to the nearby supermarket, because there were no vegetables for cooking at home, and she needed to buy some.

There were a lot of people in the supermarket, Ye Xuefei pushed the shopping cart, shuttled between the crowd and the shelves, and she quickly bought the vegetables and fruits she needed for the next few days.

Came to the cashier, lined up, put the selected things on the cashier one by one, the salesman scanned the code, finished the account, Ye Xuefei paid the bill, and left the supermarket with a large bag of vegetables and fruits, and walked towards his own community.

Ye Xuefei is a person with a high quality of life, at least, compared to other people within the Public Security Bureau, Ye Xuefei's living standard is very high, the community she lives in is a newly built community in recent years, a total of five unit buildings, each unit building has eight floors, Ye Xuefei lives on the fifth floor of the last unit building.

The house is rented by Ye Xuefei, the house is not big, two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, there are doormen in the community, there are security rooms, and there are underground parking lots, and there will be security patrols every day, and Ye Xuefei is a girl after all, so she chose here, at least, the safety can still be guaranteed.

When she got home, Ye Xuefei took out the key to open the door, and entered the house, after she changed her slippers, she closed the door with her hands, and came to the kitchen door with vegetables and fruits, the refrigerator was at the kitchen door, Ye Xuefei put the things she bought into the refrigerator by category.

After doing all this, Ye Xuefei first went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and then came to the balcony and took in all the clothes drying on the balcony.

————

Just after Ye Xuefei got off the bus and went to the supermarket, a black sedan stopped in a corner not far from the community.

In the car, there were two people, a man and a woman, an old and a young.

The car was driven by a woman, and sitting in the back seat was an old man in an army green military coat, the woman silently put on the steering wheel, looking ahead, looking at the rearview mirror in the car out of the corner of her eye, always paying attention to the old man's emotional changes.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

A dull cough broke the silence in the car, the old man took out a white handkerchief and gently put it to his mouth, as the cough sounded, the old man's already unhealthy face became more and more pale, and after the paleness there was a strange and ominous flush.

The coughing gradually became quieter, the old man looked down at the white handkerchief in his hand, in addition to saliva, there was a cloud of scarlet blood on the handkerchief, the old man coughed up blood, it seems that his body is not as good as before.

Just after the old man silently put the handkerchief into his arms and tightened the military coat on his body, the old man's eyes looked out through the car window with reflective film, Ye Xuefei was carrying a bag of things out of the supermarket and slowly walked into the community.

Ye Xuefei looked around cautiously as she walked, as if to make sure if anyone was following her behind and around her.

"Huh"

When the old man saw this scene, he pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed, the laughter was like a night owl, it was so ugly and harsh, but it could be seen that the old man was very happy.

After Ye Xuefei walked into the community with her things, it didn't take long for her to disappear in the eyes of the old man, the old man slowly retracted his gaze, he didn't let the woman drive, but raised his head and looked at the balcony of room 503 on the fifth floor of the fifth unit.

After a while, Ye Xuefei really appeared on the balcony and began to pack her clothes in an orderly manner.

Maybe it's too far away, maybe it's the old man's limited eyesight, maybe the sunlight outside is too dazzling, the old man can't see the situation over there clearly, he subconsciously approached the car window, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Ye Xuefei on the balcony, the old man's cloudy eyes revealed an indescribable tenderness.

The woman who has been sitting in the driver's seat, after seeing this scene through the rearview mirror, although she has no expression on her face, but her heart is upside down, she has followed this old man for more than a day or two, she knows a lot of secrets that she should not know, of course, these secrets are what the old man let her know, in the past, no matter what shocking secrets the old man said, the old man's expression was always plain, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, for example, Xu Yi is Xu Lang's twin brother, When the old man spoke, it was very bland.

It seems that this old man's expression will always be flat, and there will never be too many changes, but recently, whenever the old man asked her to drive with Ye Xuefei, she would find that the old man's face that had not changed for 10,000 years would always have a different look, just like now, women don't understand, she doesn't understand what the relationship between the old man and Ye Xuefei, who is a forensic doctor in the Public Security Bureau, she doesn't dare to ask, and she can't ask, because she is afraid of this old man who looks like he may die at any time, It was a fear in my bones.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Xuefei's figure never appeared on the balcony again, and the old man also withdrew his gaze, he turned his head, did not look at the woman, but looked ahead, and said lightly: "Let's go." ”

The woman came back to her senses suddenly, and as she started the car, she asked cautiously, "Aren't you going to see her?" ”

The old man turned his head slightly, looking at the woman who was driving, and there was a smile on his face, as if the woman had told a very funny joke.

The woman didn't look back, her body tensed subconsciously, she didn't dare to say anything more, she started the car and left here.

Just when the woman was thinking about whether the old man would blame herself for saying too much just now, the old man sitting in the back row spoke.

"Aren't you curious why I'm following her?"

The expression on the woman's face froze, then returned to normal, she did not speak, only nodded slightly.

The old man turned his head, looked out the window, leaned lazily on the chair, stretched out his hand and tightened the military coat on his body, and said in a calm tone: "When people are about to die, they always think of the things and people they care about the most, no matter how high the power this person has, how much fame, how much money, when they face death, they will be afraid, they will be afraid, they will feel reluctant and unwilling, and I am about to die." ”

"Sting"

A screeching brake sound suddenly sounded, the black sedan stopped abruptly on the side of the road, and the woman looked at the old man in the rearview mirror with a shocked expression, she didn't dare to look back, just looked like this.

The woman's expression was very shocked, very surprised, and very complicated, when she heard that the old man was going to die, her mood was very complicated, for this old man who was about to die, the woman felt scared, and fearful, and a little worship, in addition, there was a trace of hatred that could not be said to be hateful, in her mind, the old man seemed to be omnipotent, although, the old man was not in good health, although the old man looked like he could die at any time, but, from many years ago, when she followed the old man, At that time, she was always looking forward to it in her heart, cursing this old man to die soon, but he did not die, he was alive and well, which made her feel desperate at the same time, and she had to accept her fate.

She has followed the old man for so many years, she is used to seeing the cruel and bloody methods of the old man, and she has also seen the old man's demon-like wisdom, she is always thinking, the so-called detective star Xu Lang in S City, and the so-called experts in Huaxia Kingdom, compared with the old man behind her, she is just a primary school student, she never thought that this old man would die, or rather, she never thought that this old man would also die one day, which shows how deeply impressed this old man left in her heart.

The old man's body followed the brakes, and the body that was originally nested in the seat subconsciously leaned forward, the old man did not look back at the woman, and did not say anything to blame the woman, he just looked out the window, and said with a blurred vision: "Don't worry, I won't die for the time being, even if I die, I promised you something, I will do it, you should be able to believe this, you know me." ”

The woman forcibly suppressed the intense mood swings in her heart, she restarted the car, and slowly drove forward, although there was not much expression on her face, but the lingering shock and confusion in her eyes could not be concealed.

————

After Xu Lang left the conference room after Lu Ye, he did it for a while in the conference room and then left the conference room.

He didn't go to the Second Criminal Investigation Team to say anything to Ning Yanran, nor did he go to other places, but left the Public Security Bureau and returned to his home.

Open the door, close the door, change shoes, and then sit on the sofa, looking at the scenery outside through the balcony, Xu Lang's face does not have too many expressions, more calm, calm like a pool of stagnant water, this kind of expression that should have appeared on the old man, but appeared on the face of a young man who is not yet thirty years old, no matter how you look at it, it feels awkward and weird.

On the coffee table in front of the sofa, there is a large express box, the box has been opened, and what is in the box is not anything else, all of them are medicine bottles, and the medicines in these medicine bottles are all medicines that Shu Yue prescribed to him before.

This courier was handed over to Xu Lang by the person from the property downstairs when Xu Lang came back from the orphanage yesterday, saying that the courier company put it there.

Last time, Xu Lang helped send Xu Lang the medicine, Xu Lang has not finished eating, in fact, during this time, Xu Lang has subconsciously reduced the amount of medicine, I don't know if it is because Shu Yue is not around, or because he has overcome the nightmare in his heart.

Since the Bu Zimo case, too many things have happened around Xu Lang, Brother Lang's detective agency has been closed for nearly half a year, and Du Ziqiao, Liao Yi and Ziche Hexuan, as if they have evaporated from the world, have never appeared again, and Shu Yue also chose to leave him after Xu Lang appeared, when Xu Lang came back, and now, Shu Yue and Xu Qi, the two people closest to Xu Lang, have left, and they have completely left, as for why they left and where they went, When he will come back, Xu Lang doesn't know.

Bu Zimo's case, Zhao Hua sacrificed, the orphanage series case, Zhang Lei resigned, and now, Lu Ye is also going to retire early, it seems that many people and many things that Xu Lang once cared about are quietly leaving him, which makes Xu Lang feel a deep sadness and uneasiness, he doesn't know who will leave him next time, which one of the second criminal investigation team will be, is it Li Lei, who has just been promoted to the deputy captain of the second criminal investigation team, or the cute IT otaku Lu Xing? Or is it Ning Yanran, or the cold forensic Ye Xuefei? Xu Lang didn't know.

Xu Lang feels that he is an ominous person, it seems that everyone who has a relationship with him has no good end, Zhao Hua is like this, Shu Yue is like this, Zhang Lei is the same, and his own family is even more so, Xu Lang has always been an atheist, he does not believe in the existence of gods in this world, nor does he believe in the existence of curses, but now that so many things have happened, Xu Lang is a little shaken, is it possible that the departure and death of these people are all caused by themselves?

Xu Lang's face gradually became pale, his brows frowned, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he felt as if there was an electric drill in his brain, it kept turning, stirring, making him miserable, Xu Lang felt that he was tired, he really felt so tired, he was wondering, is he not so persistent in chasing the truth about the death of his parents twenty years ago, and not chasing the murderer of his sister's death eleven years ago, now these people will not die and will not leave? He wondered, if he didn't pursue it so persistently, everything would go back to the way it was?

No one gave him an answer, and Xu Lang was the only one in the big room, and he was like an orphan abandoned by everyone, sitting alone in this empty room.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Lang, who was pale and sweating profusely, gradually came back to his senses, he looked around, looking at these familiar and unfamiliar environments in front of him, Xu Lang frowned, and exhaled deeply, he secretly made up his mind that since he had come to this point, then, no matter what the ending was, he would unswervingly go on, no matter how much he paid, he would find out the truth of the year.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang's confused eyes regained clarity again, his eyes were resolute, he slowly stood up, walked into the bathroom, closed the door, turned on the switch of the shower, he stripped off his clothes, and stood under the shower naked, letting the cold water jet pour on his skin.

Xu Lang looked at the mirror in the bathroom, and the mirror reflected Xu Lang's body full of scars, those large and small, criss-crossing scars, all of which were left by criminal suspects or gangsters when he was on a mission over the years, and there were many scars that were fatal, but Xu Lang survived.

Every time someone wanted to kill him, he was strong and stubborn and survived, just like Xiaoqiang who couldn't be killed, and every time he survived, then many people would die, and the death of these people was not carried out by Xu Lang himself, but the punishment given to them by the law.

As the water droplets poured down, a layer of mist was covered on the smooth mirror, and Xu Lang's shadow gradually disappeared, and he came back to his senses and began to take a bath.

After Xu Lang took a bath, he changed into a set of home clothes and came to the living room, his wet-wet-wet hair was still dripping with water droplets, Xu Lang didn't care about this, he came to the living room, saw the cardboard box on the coffee table, he subconsciously frowned, he didn't want to take these drugs anymore, he wanted to get rid of this dependence on drugs, so he squatted down, resealed the cardboard box on the coffee table, and threw it under the coffee table, it seems that in a short time, he will not choose to open it again.

After doing all this, Xu Lang went straight to the balcony and closed the thick curtains, and as the curtains were closed, the originally bright room suddenly became dim.

After Xu Lang closed the curtains, he turned around and walked straight to the door of the study, took out the key, opened the study, walked in, and then, closed the door, he completely entered a dark and closed environment, and no one knew what he was doing in the study.
