Chapter 363: New Year's Gift
When the New Year's bell rang, it was unusually quiet in the criminal police team.
No hot meals, no flowers, and no applause.
Everything was so quiet.
Everyone is on vacation, and everyone who should go is gone.
The snowflakes were flying in the sky, and Tang Tao walked alone in the snow and stopped, stopped, stopped, and stopped from time to time to take a look.
Everything was so familiar.
This year has passed quickly, and he has experienced a lot of things, which has also benefited Tang Tao a lot.
In his heart, he has always been worried about Xia Yuqing's affairs, and he has been looking for a year, but there is still no news.
This year, he met Leng Bingling, and the two came together after several twists and turns.
It's been a year, and it's time to let go.
Passing by the flower shop, it seems that Tang Tao bought a red rose and sniffed it, and the faint floral fragrance was mixed with a perfume smell.
Back at home, Tang Tao pushed open the door and smelled a charming smell of vegetables, Leng Bingling tied an apron and burned a table full of dishes, the house was very clean, except for some hanging paintings, there was a half-person tall cardboard box in the corner.
"I'm back, I'm ready to eat." Leng Bingling walked out of the house with a plate.
"For you." Tang Tao handed over the roses, pointed to the box and said, "What is this?" ”
"A gift for you."
Gift?
Tang Tao took a knife and opened the cardboard box, a statue of Sherlock Holmes appeared in front of him, from the material point of view, it is made of resin, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, Holmes wears a deer hunting hat, holds a pipe, holds a cane in his right hand, and holds a book in his left hand is looking at it, his expression is vivid, every inch of skin wrinkles have been finely outlined, and there is a nameplate behind the sculpture that identifies its place of origin.
Detectives Guild, 3303!
Tang Tao was stunned, this is actually a prize of the World Detectives Association, the Detectives Association will launch a detective evaluation activity every year, very famous in the detective circle, the top three people in addition to the trophy The most valuable is this limited edition Sherlock Holmes statue, this is a work from a French master, a style every year, there are only three in the world, only give away and not sell, there is no market.
This one came out three years ago, a classic among the classics, Tang Tao will take a look at its pictures if he is fine.
I didn't expect it to appear at home at this time.
Tang Tao stroked the sculpture carefully, and once again confirmed that this is really genuine, don't think about it without 200,000 yuan, the key is that you may not be able to buy it if you have money.
"How much did you spend?" Tang Tao asked.
"It's not a lot of money, just like it."
Tang Tao was a little ashamed, he used cold ice cream to eat, and Leng Bingling gave him valuable gifts again and again, but he didn't give anything.
In contrast, Tang Tao is more like eating soft rice.
A sentence is good if you like it, it already contains everything, as long as Tang Tao likes it, it doesn't matter how much Leng Bingling costs.
I love you and am willing to give everything for you.
Tang Tao hugged Leng Bingling and whispered two words of thanks.
"I didn't do anything, don't do this, let's eat."
Leng Bingling pushed Tang Tao's hand away and entered the kitchen, looking at her back, Tang Tao thought of Leng Bingling's proposal a few days ago, and took her grandmother to travel with her during the New Year.
In fact, it can be regarded as an indirect meeting with parents.
After hesitating, Tang Tao dialed his friend's phone number and booked a plane ticket.
The dinner was very rich, and the table was full of Tang Tao's favorite food.
"Let's go home together the day after tomorrow." Tang Tao said.
"Home?"
"Yes, go home, go back to your home, take your family and we go on a road trip, don't you want to go to Xishuangbanna? Then let's go to Xishuangbanna this time. ”
Leng Bingling was stunned.
"Seriously?"
"Of course it's true, do I have to lie to you?"
"But aren't you busy? Are you really free? ”
Tang Tao took a deep breath and patted his chest to reassure.
"This time, no matter what, I will fulfill my promise and take your grandma on a trip!"
"Don't lie to me." Leng Bingling blinked her big eyes and still didn't believe Tang Tao's words, she took out her mobile phone and dialed her grandmother's number, "Grandma, Tang Tao wants to talk to you." ”
After speaking, Leng Bingling handed over the phone.
"Hey, Don Jr., you're looking for me."
"Yes, grandma, Bingling and I plan to take you out on a trip in the second year of junior high school."
"No need, it's too troublesome, I'll be at home, if you want to go, you can go."
"It's okay, we'll pick you up then, have you eaten?"
Tang Tao chatted with the old lady about family life, and Leng Bingling sat on the side and looked at Tang Tao with a happy smile.
After making the call, Tang Tao returned the phone to Leng Bingling.
"Do you believe it now?" Tang Tao asked.
"Of course I believe it, this time I'm going to ride elephants, splash water, soak in hot springs, and go to Lugu Lake." Leng Bingling excitedly snapped her fingers and listed the projects she had been dreaming of for a long time.
"Hey, Lugu Lake is not in Xishuangbanna."
"I don't care, I'll go to Lugu Lake, Lijiang, Dali, Yulong Snow Mountain......"
Looking at Leng Bingling's happy appearance, Tang Tao smiled helplessly, a woman is a woman, and her original form will be revealed with a little pet.
Suddenly, Tang Tao's mobile phone rang, and the caller was an unfamiliar number.
"Hey."
Tang Tao answered the phone, but the other party did not respond, there was only heavy breathing in the earpiece, and he was deliberately suppressing his emotions, trying to calm his breathing.
It's like wanting to get back to normal right away after a fierce long movement.
"Hey." Tang Tao spoke again.
"Hello, you...... Are you Tang Tao? ”
The other party is a man, his voice is very rough, his voice is very small, like a phone call hidden in the dark, for fear that others will hear.
"I am, who are you?"
"I have something to tell you, do you want to know about Yueyang? If you want to know, just go to the red alley on the edge of the ice and snow world, I have something to tell you. ”
The phone hung up.
Tang Tao felt a stirring in his heart, what did this person say about Yueyang, what happened to Yueyang?
Could it be that Yueyang was attacked last time?
After being caught, the president of the Second Academy confessed a clue that Bai Xianliang's subordinate Luo Xianji once got drunk and admitted that they had attacked Yue Yang.
Later, Luo Xianji ran away and there was no clue, could this person be talking about the same thing?
So who could he be?
"What's wrong? Want to go out? Leng Bingling asked.
"Yes, I have something to go out for, you can sleep first."
Tang Tao picked up his coat and hurried out, he touched his pocket and found that he had nothing on him.
At this time, everyone in the criminal police team is on vacation, Qian Fugui, Bai Longfei, and Yue Yang have all gone home, Zhang Li has not come back since the last case, and the only helper he can find at the moment seems to be Sophie, who lives in Qingzhou.
Tang Tao dialed Sophie's phone.
"Hey, I'm not here." There was a burst of firecrackers on the other side of the phone, and Sophie was clearly outside.
"I know you're not there, do you know the ice and snow world? I'll be waiting for you over there, there's something important about coming here. After speaking, Tang Tao hung up the phone.
He knew Sophie too well, and as long as he didn't make it clear, her curiosity would definitely come.
