The expression on her face was serious, and she didn't seem to mean a joke.

Xiao Huaijin's gaze swept from her face to the hem of her skirt, there were very clear creases between her eyebrows, although she didn't speak, Xia Man understood the meaning in his eyes.

She wore an evening dress that reached her calf, and only put on a shoulder handed over by the third aunt when she went out, it was freezing outside, no matter how good the quality of the clothes was, I was afraid that she would be frostbitten as soon as she went out.

Xiao Huaijin was about to ask her to go back to change her clothes, and then ask the driver to take her to the criminal police brigade, when she saw Xia Man take out a pair of socks that looked thick from her backpack, and then pulled out a big bag from under the seat of the car that she didn't know when, put on boots, wrapped a long down jacket, and threw a bright smile at the stunned Xiao Huaijin.

Xiao Huaijin, as an old man who has been established, has been immersed in exquisite life, and he can't stand much stimulation anymore, and he was suddenly stimulated by Xia Man's 'vitality' to the point of frightening.

Chang Gao's brain went blank for a moment, just staring at Shaman, who had already changed his clothes.

Seeing that his expression was serious, and there was a vague gloomy tendency, Xia Man's mind turned around, and he probably guessed that a man like Xiao Huaijin should like the intellectual women in the banquet hall before, and a living rough woman like her was probably the most unbearable for him.

Oh, looking at his expression, it seems like he is going to be eaten alive.

Xia Man secretly rubbed the goosebumps on his body, and said to the handsome little guy driving in front: "Thank you for stopping at the station." ”

The handsome young man glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and then looked at Xiao Huaijin.

At this time, Xiao Huaijin had already recovered from the stimulation, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and said, "Stop." ”

The handsome driver answered, flicked his tail beautifully, and stopped in front of the bus stop platform, causing passers-by to exclaim.

Xia Man got out of the car under the gaze of passers-by, and before he could thank him, the door closed with a 'bang', and the car started fast enough to see two lights from the taillights.

Someone next to him immediately came up, "Hey girl, can you give me the driver's number?" Next time I call him when I take a taxi in Didi, this car is simply so handsome! ”

As soon as her words fell, several people chimed in: "Yes, yes." This car is really high-end, hey, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like a Maybach! ”

"Hey, don't say it, it's really, I just can't tell what model it is!"

"It doesn't matter what model he is, the one who came out to run Didi must have rented it from, tsk, it's really not easy for people to live now."

"That's it."

Shaman: Huh.

……

Xiao Huaijin unbuttoned his cuffs, closed his eyes and rested on the back chair, the handsome driver's car drove steadily and fast, and the creases between Xiao Huaijin's eyebrows gradually faded.

Until he was about to turn into the villa area, the handsome guy said softly: "Mr. Xiao, do you want to answer the call from the old house?" ”

Mr. Xiao's personal phone number is only known to a few close people, and the phone number left in the Xiao family's old house is usually close to Xiao Huaijin, such as him, such as Yu Lei.

Mr. Xiao has always kept silent about the Xiao family's old house, and he still remembers that when he raised doubts, Yu Lei, as a senior, warned him not to ask more questions that he shouldn't know, so he has always tried to avoid Mr. Xiao's affairs, which is why in the end Mr. Xiao was only left with him and Yu Lei's seniors.

And now the call from the Xiao family's old house has come, indicating that they already know Mr. Xiao's whereabouts, which is undoubtedly a provocation for Mr. Xiao, who has always been very arrogant.

Sure enough, the temperature in the carriage dropped a lot all of a sudden, as if an extreme storm was brewing, and after a while, I heard Xiao Huaijin's dark and hoarse voice: "Go to the old house." ”

"Yes." The handsome driver immediately turned around and turned towards the road below the villa mountain.

The car drove into the Xiao family's mansion, the handsome driver was waiting in place, an old man in a housekeeper's uniform stood at the end of the flower bed and waited, and the old man said to Xiao Huaijin very respectfully: "Mr. is back." ”

Xiao Huaijin nodded, and the housekeeper led Xiao Huaijin sideways to walk forward, "After the master knew that you were coming back, he ordered the kitchen to make your favorite dishes, and the old lady has been talking about Mr." ”

The old housekeeper's voice was gentle, with a smile on his face, without the slightest embarrassment because of Xiao Huaijin's expressionless face, and when his words fell, he had already led people to the door of the main hall and opened the door himself.

The two maids in white aprons standing at the door bowed their heads elegantly, Xiao Huaijin looked up and saw a table of people gathered there.

Hearing the voice, everyone raised their heads, and one of the people with his back to him turned around, and showed a bright smile in just a moment: "Brother Huai Jin is here." ”

A woman about forty years old sitting next to the man said, "Ah Chen, how can your cousin say that he is also an elder, why are you so rude?" ”

"What Mom said makes sense," Gu Chen smiled indifferently, stood up and gave Xiao Huaijin a gentlemanly salute: "Hello cousin." ”

Xiao Huaijin glanced at him lightly, his eyes fell on the old man who was sitting in the first place, pulled open the empty chair and fell: "Something important?" ”

The face of the woman who was called Xiao Ma by Gu Chen changed slightly, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of Gu Chen's mouth, and she sat down generously, without the slightest expression of shame and anger because she was ignored, as if it was normal for Xiao Huaijin to do this.

The old man of the Xiao family is old, but he is not confused, he saw Xiao Huaijin's movements from beginning to end, and he was angry: "Xiao Jin, what does Ah Chen say is also your brother, you two just can't get along, when he comes back, you should also go to pick up the airport!" ”

Without waiting for Xiao Huaijin to speak, Gu Chen smiled and said, "My cousin is busy with affairs, I don't dare to trouble him." Besides, it's not that I don't know the road here, so don't worry about this little thing. ”

The wrinkles on Old Man Xiao's face were very deep, so that people couldn't see his expression clearly, but listening to his voice, there was a hint of relief: "It's still Ah Chen, this kid is sensible." If Xiao Jin is as slippery as you, my old bones won't break my heart. ”

"Grandpa's lesson is," Xiao Huaijin hooked the corners of his mouth, cold and evil: "It's because I forgot that my cousin is a half-grown boy who doesn't have any hair, and he has to be fed by someone to eat milk, and I will order it after a while, there will be absolutely no shortage of servants within half a meter." ”

His words were unceremoniously, looking at Gu Chen opposite with heavy eyes, seeing that the smile on his face was gradually put away, Xiao Huaijin picked up a wet towel and wiped his fingers, without looking at the gloomy faces of several people opposite: "Time is precious, we can talk and eat at the same time." ”

……

Xia Man quickly rushed to the criminal police brigade, and she ran here when she was fine, so almost everyone in the brigade had met with her, and she was quite familiar.

A handsome young man in uniform walked over from the opposite side, it was Zhang Qiyang, who had been following Du Yunruo all day, and when he saw her coming from a distance, he walked in front of her in a few strides: "Ms. Xia, come to find Team Du?" ”

Shaman nodded: "Are you there?" ”

"Team Du is out of the police, and before he left, he told me that if you come, you will be asked to wait here for a while," Zhang Qiyang led her into the reception room, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her: "It's cold, drink some water, it's hot." ”

"Thank you," Xia Man blew a little cold on the water in the cup, took a sip carefully, and felt that the stiff pores were dilated in an instant, and the whole person was warm, "How is Tingyuan today?" ”

"It's in good shape," Zhang Qiyang sighed with relief, frowned and thought for a while before whispering: "Xia Man, although Team Du said that the headless homicide case would not be solved for long, but I don't think so. This is mainly due to Xia Tingyuan's non-cooperation, if you have a way, hurry up and persuade you. ”

His words were completely out of personal selfishness, and after so many days of getting along, he also believed that Xia Tingyuan was not a murderer who could do such a thing at all.

But since the last time he was scolded by Team Du, he no longer dared to assert nonsense, everything is to tell a piece of evidence, no matter how unbelievable the result is, the truth is the truth, don't think that you can escape by taking advantage of the loopholes in the law.

Xia Man nodded, she slowed down for a while and said, "Can you pass Xia Tingyuan out?" I think we can talk about it today. ”

Since he told Du Yunruo that he would follow him after entering the police academy, although Du Yunruo disagreed, there was nothing he could do with her.

She has the stubbornness brought from her bones, which Zhang Qiyang feels is exactly the same as Xia Tingyuan. Because Xia Tingyuan just decided not to speak, then no matter what others say, he will not open his mouth to say one more word.

It's a real headache.

Shaman knows her brother, so although she often comes here during this time, she usually stays for less than half an hour, and sometimes one of the two siblings sits inside in a daze, and the other sits outside staring at the people inside.

After a long time, Zhang Qiyang obviously felt a trace of Xia Tingyuan's changes, and Zhang Qiyang still didn't see what the changes were.

He asked Team Du and Officer Chang Lao about this matter, Team Du still ignored him, and the Criminal Police Officer assigned him a lot of tasks, so that he was so busy that he didn't have time for this.

It's sad to think about.

Thinking about it, but things still can't be done negligently, Xia Tingyuan was quickly brought out of it.

His face was still pale, but compared to the face when he was first brought in, the silence at this moment made people feel that there was still a glimmer of hope.

Xia Man stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xia Tingyuan, then took out a sketchbook from his bag, a handful of colored pens of different colors, and chose an azure color, and she scribbled on the painting.

In the silent reception room, there was only the rustle of the pen on the paper, Xia Tingyuan's eyelashes that had been closed trembled slightly, and he slowly lifted his eyelids, and his eyes fell on Xia Man opposite.

Zhang Qiyang, who had been observing outside, was suddenly very nervous, and wanted to rush in and ask Xia Man to strike while the iron was hot, but Xia Man finished painting without hurry, frowned, and muttered: "No, I remember that it was this color." ”
