There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if there is, it must be highly toxic, and you will pay a heavy price for it.

The restaurant Shangguan Jing chose was not big, it was very civilian, whether it was the decoration of the restaurant or the dishes, it was just like that, the meal was tepid, which made Xu Lang feel very awkward and uncomfortable.

Xu Lang didn't know what Shangguan Jing's purpose was for inviting him to dinner, so he didn't care about what he ate, and he didn't eat a lot, Shangguan Jing was a woman, and the woman had a small amount of food, so she didn't eat a lot, and the one who ate the most among the three of them was the little girl Liu Siya.

At the end of the meal, Shangguan Jing put down the chopsticks, raised his head to look at Xu Lang, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you eat it?" Is it that the food I ordered is not to your liking? ”

Xu Lang shook his head, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, it was still a thirteen yuan Liqun, Xu Lang took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, held it in his hand, and did not light it, he glanced at Liu Siya, who was eating happily, and then turned his head, looked at Shangguan Jing who was sitting opposite him, and asked, "You invited me to dinner, what is the matter?" ”

Shangguan Jing smiled and said, "Can't I invite you to dinner if it's okay?" Don't forget, I told you yesterday that we're going to be good friends. ”

Regarding Shangguan Jing's statement, Xu Lang was noncommittal, he glanced at Shangguan Jing, who lowered his head and gave Liu Siya a dish, turned his head, looked out the window, and didn't ask anything.

Ten minutes later, all the dishes on the table were swept away by the little girl who looked thin and weak, Xu Lang was very surprised to see it, before, when everyone ate together, others said that Xu Lang was like a starving ghost reincarnated, and eating was called a storm, of course, most of the policemen who worked on the front line were like this, and no one should laugh at anyone, so when Xu Lang saw Liu Siya, he was just surprised.

After eating and drinking, Shangguan Jing took Liu Siya to the bathroom, while Xu Lang went to the bar to settle the account silently, and then walked to the door and lit the cigarette.

I don't know if it's because Xu Lang was seriously injured last time, or because he was imprisoned for a month, Xu Lang has smoked a lot less since he came back, before, Xu Lang had at least two packs of cigarettes a day, and now, Xu Lang only smokes half a pack of cigarettes a day at most, but no one knows about Xu Lang's change.

When Xu Lang's cigarettes were about to run out, Shangguan Jing walked out of the restaurant with Liu Siya, and the two of them came to Xu Lang's side, Shangguan Jing said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I originally invited you, but I asked you to pay the bill." ”

Xu Lang shook his head, he didn't bother with anything because of the hundred or so yuan, he threw away the cigarette butt, turned his head to look at Shangguan Jing and asked, "I also ate the meal, what will I do next?" ”

Shangguan Jing seemed to be prepared and said: "Next, I'm going to take a walk around the city center, after all, Siya hasn't come here to play for a long, long time." ”

Xu Lang frowned, he lowered his head and glanced at Liu Siya, whose eyes were shining, thought about it, and did not refuse Shangguan Jing's request.

Xu Lang, as a native of S City, is very familiar with the nature of the city center, so he took two beauties, one big and one small, to start turning around in the city center.

From noon, the three of them went to more than eight o'clock in the evening, they went to museums, amusement parks, zoos, wherever children like to go, Xu Lang took them to visit, Xu Lang didn't have much heart to play, he was thinking all the way Shangguan Jing pulled himself out, what was he paying attention to, along the way, Xu Lang was absent-minded, but Shangguan Jing and Liu Siya were having a lot of fun.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the three of them casually found a restaurant to solve the dinner, during the meal, probably because Xu Lang played with them for a day today, the little girl who has been on guard against Xu Lang, when eating, gave Xu Lang a chopstick dish for the first time, which made Xu Lang very surprised, he saw this scene at the time, looked at the little girl in a daze, the little girl was still so cold, she finished the dish for Xu Lang, she lowered her head, and began to eat by herself.

Xu Lang looked at the dish in his eyes and was stunned for a long time, Xu Lang had eaten with many people, this was the first time that someone had been picked, of course, Shu Yue was not among them.

Compared with lunch, this dinner is much more harmonious, and people who don't know think that this is a happy family of three after seeing it.

After eating and walking out of the restaurant, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and I don't know when it started to rain lightly, Xu Lang and they stood at the door, looking at the rain curtain, Xu Lang sighed and asked, "It's raining." ”

Shangguan Jing didn't think as much as Xu Lang thought, she watched the raindrops fall from a height of 10,000 meters and hit the cold ground, smiled, and said, "Yes, it's raining." ”

"It's raining, it's not good to take a taxi, you may not be able to go back at night." Xu Lang reminded.

Shangguan Jing rubbed Liu Siya, who was snuggling up to her tightly, smiled, turned her head, and said, "Yes, I can't go back." ”

Xu Lang frowned and said, "Why don't I go to a nearby hotel and book a room for you, you stay here for one night, and then go back tomorrow?" ”

Shangguan Jing neither agreed nor objected, but asked, "Xu Lang, where is your home?" Isn't it that far from here? ”

Xu Lang's heart tightened, he stared at Shangguan Jing's clear eyes, his eyes subconsciously narrowed, and said, "Yes, what do you want to do?" ”

Shangguan Jing didn't answer Xu Lang's question, but squatted down, looked at Liu Siya and said with a smile: "Siya, it's raining, we can't go back at night, shall we go to Xu Lang's brother's house tonight?" ”

Liu Siya looked at Shangguan Jing, raised her little head to look at Xu Lang, and then nodded.

After Xu Lang saw this scene, his brows furrowed even tighter, but the matter had come to this point, he didn't want to say anything, he turned around and went to the convenience store next door to buy three umbrellas, opened one by himself, and handed the remaining two to Shangguan Jing, Shangguan Jing did not refuse, and calmly accepted Xu Lang's kindness, and after that, the three of them walked together in the direction of Xu Lang's house.

On the way back, Shangguan Jing held an umbrella to cover Liu Siya from the rain, Liu Siya walked between Xu Lang and Shangguan Jing, she held Shangguan Jing's right hand with one hand, but held Xu Lang's left hand with one hand, originally, Xu Lang still wanted to refuse, but when he saw the little girl's eyes full of hope, Xu Lang also let Liu Siya hold his hand, and the three of them walked on the street, looking really like a family of three.

After the three of them returned to Xu Lang's house, Xu Lang took out three pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and the three of them changed into slippers respectively.

Maybe it was to a stranger's house and a strange environment, Liu Siya, who didn't talk much, seemed more and more restrained, after Xu Lang saw it, he turned on the TV and let the little girl move freely, Liu Siya walked to the sofa and sat down, stared at the TV, and Shangguan Jing began to look at Xu Lang's home.

Now that he had brought the two people back, Xu Lang also relaxed, he didn't care about the two women, one big and one young, but went to the bedroom alone and changed a set of clothes.

After Xu Lang changed clothes in the bedroom, he didn't immediately walk out of the bedroom, but called Zhang Lei and told him about the situation here, Xu Lang meant to let Zhang Lei come over, it was best to find a way to get these two women out of his home, however, when Xu Lang didn't expect it, Zhang Lei was still working overtime, because the murder that happened in the morning had problems in the evidence chain, and the case could not be closed for the time being.

Xu Lang originally planned to ask what went wrong in the case, but just when Xu Lang was about to ask, he suddenly found that Shangguan Jing didn't know when, pushed open the bedroom door, and leaned against the door frame, Xu Lang had to give up his intention to ask on the phone.

Xu Lang hung up the phone, put the phone on the bed casually, but looked at Shangguan Jing with his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Shangguan Jing nodded and said, "Where do we sleep at night?" Also, after a day of playing today, I was sweating, and I wanted to take Siya to take a bath, but I don't know if it's inconvenient. ”

Xu Lang took a deep look at Shangguan Jing, walked out of the bedroom, came to the second bedroom next to him, opened the door, and said to Shangguan Jing who was following him: "Hey, you sleep in this room at night, as for washing, you can just feel free." ”

After saying this, Xu Lang went to the living room, nestled on the sofa, and casually flipped out a magazine from under the coffee table and read it.

Shangguan Jing didn't seem to notice Xu Lang's resistance to them staying in her own home, when Xu Lang went to the living room, she took Liu Siya to the bathroom, and after a while, there was the sound of running water inside, and Liu Siya's giggles, Xu Lang sat in the living room, listening to these sounds, his heart couldn't calm down at all, and he couldn't read the magazines anymore, he stood up, walked to the balcony, pushed open the window, blew the cold wind, and looked at the night scene outside.

I don't know how long it took, Shangguan Jing's voice suddenly sounded behind Xu Lang: "We're ready to rest, you can go wash up." ”

After Xu Lang heard the voice, he turned his head and just wanted to say something to Shangguan Jing, but found that she had already entered the second bedroom with Liu Siya, and when Xu Lang turned around, the door closed with a bang, Xu Lang had to swallow the words back into his stomach, he turned around, closed the window, closed the curtains, walked back to the living room, and sat down on the sofa.

It was already late at night, and Xu Lang, who had been playing with Liu Siya for a day, gradually felt sleepy when he was nesting in the sofa, and before he knew it, he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

I don't know if it's because of strangers at home, or because Xu Lang thinks about more things, Xu Lang slept very unsteadily this night, he was in his sleep, vaguely felt that someone had come to his side, staring at himself for a long time, but at that time, Xu Lang was having a nightmare, wanted to wake up but couldn't wake up, he didn't know if someone had taken advantage of his sleep to secretly observe himself.

The next day, when Xu Lang woke up, it was already three poles, Xu Lang opened his eyes, sat up from the sofa suddenly, he sat up, he felt like he was falling apart, very uncomfortable, Xu Lang did not care about these, he immediately got up from the sofa, came to the door of the second bedroom, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock"

Xu Lang knocked a few times, there was no movement inside, Xu Lang was very puzzled, he knocked a few more times, still no movement, Xu Lang felt strange, so he tried to push the door of the second bedroom, the door was not locked, and it was pushed open at once, and Xu Lang followed and walked in.

After entering the second bedroom, Xu Lang suddenly found that Shangguan Jing and Liu Siya were gone, the bed was made clean and neat, Xu Lang looked around, and still didn't find Shangguan Jing's shadow, so he walked out of the second bedroom and came to the bathroom, the bathroom door was open, Xu Lang walked in to take a look, still didn't find Shangguan Jing, Xu Lang went to the kitchen and his bedroom, and didn't see Shangguan Jing and Liu Siya.

Xu Lang stood at the door of his bedroom, suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly came to the outside of his study, stretched out his hand to twist the doorknob, and found that the door was locked, and there was no trace of being opened, Xu Lang was relieved, Xu Lang was looking for no result, he walked to the restaurant, at the dining table, Xu Lang found that there was a prepared breakfast, and there was a note next to the breakfast, Xu Lang picked it up and looked at it, it was the handwriting left by Shangguan Jing, "Breakfast is ready for you, I'm sorry, Touched your kitchen without your consent, sorry the rain outside has stopped, we went back, thank you for hosting us last night. ”

After reading the note, Xu Lang looked down at the breakfast on the table, it was white porridge cooked, and there were two side dishes, the breakfast looked very delicious, but Xu Lang didn't have the slightest desire to eat, he crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the trash, then turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Standing in front of the washbasin in the bathroom, after Xu Lang washed his face, he looked at himself in the mirror, his face was full of exhaustion, his eyes were bloodshot, Xu Lang looked tired, he picked up a towel and wiped his face, and walked out of the bathroom.

Xu Lang sat on the sofa, feeling a little puzzled and puzzled, he really didn't understand more and more what Shangguan Jing wanted to do, they only met the day before yesterday, yesterday Shangguan Jing made an appointment to eat with herself, saying that she had something to find herself, but, yesterday they were all playing around in the city center, Shangguan Jing seemed to have forgotten what she wanted to say, in the evening, Xu Lang took them back, originally Xu Lang wanted to ask Shangguan Jing what he was going to do, but after Shangguan Jing took Liu Siya to take a bath, he went directly to the second bedroom to sleep, didn't give Xu Lang a chance to ask questions at all, and this morning, they left early, and they didn't mention what was going on with them from beginning to end, the more Xu Lang thought about it, the more strange he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more he wondered.

"Jingle Bell"

Just when Xu Lang was sitting on the sofa in the living room thinking about it, his mobile phone in the bedroom rang, Xu Lang came back to his senses, stood up, walked to the bedroom and picked up the phone, and connected it when he didn't see it, and said, "Hey, they have gone back." ”

"They went back? Who are they? Where did you go back? Ning Yanran's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

Hearing Ning Yanran's voice, Xu Lang realized that it was not Zhang Lei who was calling, Xu Lang put down the phone and looked, sure enough, it was Ning Yanran who called, Xu Lang put the phone to his ear again, and said, "Oh, it's nothing, what's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with calling me so early? ”

Ning Yanran was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and then said, "There was a murder in Luhua Community yesterday, Zhang Lei told you." ”

Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "I said it, what's wrong?" Didn't the murderer turn himself in? Isn't the case clear? Still have questions? ”

Ning Yanran was silent for a while and said, "One sentence, two sentences are not clear, you can come to the second criminal investigation team." ”

Xu Lang frowned, and thought about it, since Ning Yanran called herself and said that there was a problem with the seemingly simple case, then there must be a problem in it, and as a criminal investigation consultant, she should go to help and assist, in one case, Xu Lang also wanted to go to Zhang Lei and ask him what he said to Shangguan Jing, Shangguan Jing's attitude towards him would be so strange.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang said, "Okay, I'll be there in a while." ”

After saying that, Xu Lang hung up the phone, and after he put down the phone, he turned around every place in the house again, and after finding nothing abnormal, he picked up the key and left the house.

When Xu Lang came to the second criminal investigation team, he suddenly found that the members of the second criminal investigation team were not there, including Lu Xing, who was not in the office area, Xu Lang felt a little strange, he went straight to Ning Yanran's office, knocked on the door, and pushed open the door of the office, and found that Ning Yanran was not in the office, Xu Lang felt even more strange, so he walked towards the interrogation room.

Sure enough, outside the No. 1 interrogation room, Xu Lang saw Ning Yanran standing outside the one-way glass, with her hands around her chest, frowning, not knowing what she was thinking, after Xu Lang walked over, he glanced at Ning Yanran, who was frowning, and then looked inside the interrogation room, and found that there were three people sitting in the interrogation room, among which Li Lei and Zhu Xumei sat opposite the interrogation table, Li Lei was in charge of interrogation, and Zhu Xumei was in charge of recording, and opposite them, there was a man in his thirties.

The man lowered his head, his hair was messy, the clothes on his body were crumpled, and the dried blood stains could be clearly seen on the white shirt, the man lowered his head, from the direction of Xu Lang, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, and he couldn't see the expression clearly, he had a pair of shiny handcuffs on his wrists, the man crossed his hands, and his two thumbs kept tapping.

After Xu Lang looked at the man, he turned his head to look at Ning Yanran and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ning Yanran came back to her senses, handed a piece of information in her hand to Xu Lang and said, "Look at this." ”

Xu Lang took the information and looked at it seriously, he only saw half of it, then raised his head, looked at Ning Yanran with a strange face and said, "There is such a thing?" ”

Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang, smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "There really is such a thing in this world. ”
