I walked into the bookstore and immediately smelled a familiar smell of tea, not that my nose could distinguish the different tea aromas, just by smelling the fragrance of tea, I knew that Ma Yuan had started his routine operation again, making tea and reading books and pretending to be gentlemen.

"Mr. Zhang, come here at this point, it seems that there is nothing to do today." Ma Yuan walked down from the second floor with a purple sand teapot, full of spring breeze.

I curled the corners of my mouth, "Long time no see, I'll come over and have a look." ”

"Is it to look at me, or to read a book?" Ma Yuan looked directly at me, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's up to you to see if there are any good books to recommend." I rested my elbows on the edge of the table and looked at him.

Ma Yuan sat down at the table, slowly put down the purple sand teapot in his hand, and smiled faintly, "Have you finished reading the book "Choice" I gave you last time?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, "Not yet, to be honest, that book is not my favorite type, so I read it very slowly, so you might as well recommend me a new one." ”

"Haha......" Ma Yuan smiled, laughing inexplicably.

I didn't speak, but looked at him in bewilderment.

Ma Yuan put away his smile and said seriously, "I don't have a book worth recommending to you now, I suggest that you read that book patiently, you will definitely gain a lot." ”

Damn, I was taught a lesson by him as a schoolboy, but this is also a hint that there is a secret hidden in that bullshit book.

"Okay, then I'll try to finish it as soon as possible, if you have a book worth recommending to me, you can tell Wang Haitang and ask her to tell me."

Ma Yuan nodded, and then his gaze became deep, "There are no books that can be recommended to you for the time being, but I can remind you of one thing, recently you have an old friend who will come to you and tell you a very troublesome thing that you need to solve." ”

My heart sank, "What's the matter, which old friend?" ”

Ma Yuan smiled, lowered his head and opened the book in front of him, obviously he was reminding me not to ask any questions, this was the rule of the game in the past, he only threw out the question, but did not tell me how to answer.

He, like Manman, always gives some very accurate predictions, but afterwards he tries to dissociate himself from him, so I began to doubt his connection with Manman.

When I got home in the evening, I flipped out the book again, forcing myself to be patient and continue reading.

Thoughts are constantly interrupted, and I forcibly pick it up, read it intermittently for more than an hour, 1/3 of the book is finished, I really admire this author, on the kind of polyamory between men and women, can actually write so much pen and ink, as if a few people in the book have nothing else to do except fall in love, and in the book for their work and other lives are just a brushstroke.

Hehe, it's really difficult to find something from a book like this, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, of course, I can't ignore the reminder given by Ma Yuan, it's likely that the clues are hidden in inadvertent places.

The next night.

Liu Zhen called me at 9 o'clock and said that he wanted to see me, I agreed, and we made an appointment to meet at the bar.

During this time, we have been in touch, I told her about my contact with Su Xiaoli, there is no movement on Su Xiaoli's side at present, I continue to comfort her, let her rest assured that Su Xiaoli will not hurt her, and also let her gradually let go of her feelings for her fiancé, because it is irreparable.

We usually communicate through WeChat, sometimes typing and sometimes sending voices, probably in that way it is not good to pour out all the words in her heart, she really can't control the pain and torture in her heart, so she asked to see me.

I talked to Xue Xiaxia and drove to the bar.

Liu Zhen sat in the middle of the bar, there were not many customers tonight, and I saw her at a glance when I walked in.

Her face was very pale and haggard, and she looked much older than before without makeup, and I was shocked that she had changed so much in just a few days.

I swapped out the whiskey in front of her and gave her a mild cocktail.

Liu Zhen choked up and asked, "Is it really impossible for me to be with him?" I spend every day in painful thoughts these days, and you say you want to help me, but why don't I see a little hope now? ”

I exhaled softly, "Don't worry, it takes a process for me to contact Su Xiaoli, little by little to find out her details, if you are in a hurry, it is very likely that she and the black hand behind her will find out that something is wrong, and attack you directly, you can rest assured that I will not let her hurt you, and she does not have the ability to do this at present." ”

"What about my love?" As soon as Liu Zhen's words came out, tears rolled down.

When I see a girl crying, I become helpless, and it is still difficult to calm down.

I took a tissue and handed it to her, but she didn't take it.

"Even if Su Xiaoli didn't kill me and cursed me, what is it if she directly cut off our relationship? I listened to you, and I didn't contact him or see him during this time, but I really don't live or die every day, and you tell me how to free me? ”

Liu Zhen's shoulders twitched violently, because she was extremely sad, she was about to lose control of herself.

I comforted softly, "I told you from the beginning of this relationship, you don't need to redeem it, his willpower is not firm, so he will easily change his attitude towards you through the other party's soul induction, even if you redeem his person, his heart will never be able to treat you like before." ”

"So you're going to let me give up?" Liu Zhen screamed a little uncontrollably, and the customers next to him cast strange glances, as if I was a negative scumbag.

I was embarrassed, coughed and cleared my throat, "Don't be like this, this relationship is destined for you not to go together, don't feel sorry, there are many good men in the world, and the next beautiful relationship is waiting for you." ”

Liu Zhen sneered, tears rolled down, and I handed the tissue over again, but she still didn't answer.

I racked my brains, searched my stomach and dug out all the words I could comfort her, I was almost half of the spiritual master, she had been silent, crying from time to time, and the sad look made me feel quite uncomfortable.

Presumably, saving a person is far more meaningful than saving her heart.

After sitting in the bar for more than two hours, Liu Zhen wanted to leave, I offered to send her, but she refused, and I still insisted on sending her back.

She didn't say anything on the way, and when I got downstairs to her house, I asked her if the amulet she gave her last time was still there.

She nodded and took the amulet out of the pocket of her coat, "What you gave me is here, I haven't lost it, but even if I survive, I still lose my love, as if I don't need to exist in this world." ”

I was taken aback when I heard it, and shook my head again and again, "You must not think like this, there are more important things in this world than feelings, you are so young, you have to live a good life, I have told you a lot just now, you must not do stupid things, you can find me at any time if you can't think of anything." ”

"Huh." Liu Zhen showed a meaningful smile, which made my heart pull out the cold, women's hearts were needles, and I really couldn't figure out what they were thinking.

"I'm joking with you, I won't commit suicide for a man, thank you for enlightening me, then you can continue to contact Su Xiaoli, I am waiting for your good news to completely unravel the curse she put on me for me."

Liu Zhen squeezed out a smile at me after speaking, and I breathed a sigh of relief and watched her go upstairs, and I didn't drive away until the light in her room came on.

I set up a formation at the door of her house, and there is a talisman, not to mention that there is evil approaching her, even if her life is threatened, even if she commits suicide herself, I will receive the sense and rush over immediately.

After I went back, I calmed down and sorted out my thoughts, I have also been in contact with Su Xiaoli for a while, and I can almost go directly to find out her old bottom and see what kind of card she wants to play against Liu Zhen.

I planned to go over on Saturday night, and take the opportunity of drinking and dancing, and ask her about the emotional dispute with Liu Zhen on the side, of course I wouldn't be so stupid to ask them directly, I would set some other topics to test her.

Friday noon.

I had just returned from dinner at the restaurant with Zhao Heizi, ready to take a break in the office, and in the afternoon I was going to the Environmental Protection Bureau for a meeting.

The phone rang, and I took it out and was surprised to see that it was a person I hadn't contacted for a long time, Luo Fei.

I suddenly remembered what Ma Yuan said to me a few days ago, recently an old friend will call me to ask me to solve some troubles, could it be that Luo Fei has another case over there?

"Captain Luo, I really didn't expect you to call me, how are you doing?" I smiled and said hello.

"It's the same old way, but I didn't call you today to catch up with you, I have to trouble you again, there is a very suspenseful case here, and we can't figure it out."

A big stone immediately fell on my heart, and sure enough, there was an unsolved case, and there was no need to say too much about the opening remarks between old friends, just to cut straight to the point.

Luo Fei seriously explained the situation of this case to me.

A female employee of a state-owned enterprise died at home last Saturday night, and after an on-site investigation, no traces of his murder were found, and only she and her daughter were at home that night, and her husband did not return from a business trip.

The cause of her death is unknown, there are no external injuries, but there are countless blood-red lines similar to cracks all over her body, and the whole person is like broken glass, not completely broken, but her body is covered with cracks.

The case is still under investigation, but I didn't expect that two days later, her husband died in the dormitory of the unit, and there was no trace of his murder at the scene, the cause of death was still unknown, and there were no external injuries, and his whole body was covered with strange cracks.
