Chapter 15: The Missing Ring

As the court opened, Xu Xincha and Lu Jijiang's conversation was interrupted. The two of them can clearly distinguish which is more important, and of course they ended the topic just now and listened seriously.

Although Jiang Yuan admitted his crime, he did not have the six gods and no one to choose a path. He even knew that he had applied for legal aid and had found a defense lawyer for him. At this moment, his defense lawyer was standing in the dock, and sitting opposite him were He He's parents.

The trial was carried out normally, and there was no surprise to Xu Xincha. Jiang Yuan's defense lawyer approached from the perspective that Jiang Yuan's wife was seriously ill and had no one to take care of her, and tried to get leniency for Jiang Yuan. Xu Xincha didn't comment on this kind of thing, he just regretted that He He, who was in his good years, died so young.

When it came to the evidence stage, Xu Xincha finally lifted his spirits. In this case, the most important thing is the ring. Although their time killing sounds unbelievable and ridiculous, the trial personnel of the temporal case were all assigned by the superior leaders of the Institute of Time Studies.

When presenting the evidence, Xu Xincha stared closely at the small box in the evidence bag. Immediately, the staff slowly opened it.

"Where's the ring?!"

The staff member in the white isolation gloves looked at the presiding judge with a bewildered expression, the small box in his hand was empty and nothing was missing. Xu Xincha almost stood up, but was grabbed by Lu Jijiang beside him. At the same time, Wan Qi Zhe hurriedly called him, Xu Xincha turned his head to see that the sensor lamp in Wan Qi Zhe's arms emitted a blue light.

"Someone is using the Time Ability here?!"

Fu Chuanchuan shook his head: "I don't know." Yes, it is impossible for us to use our own abilities. My ability is to sweep, Song Ming is extraction, and Wan Qi is copying. No matter who uses the ability, it is very conspicuous! ”

Xu Xincha nodded: "I know." I'll talk about it later. He looked at Wei Fei, who was sitting on the side, nodded at him, and then Wei Fei said something to his mobile phone. Soon someone came up and whispered to the court officer who presented the evidence, who nodded and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the evidence was taken wrong." ”

He hurried back and took out a small, identical box, and when he opened it again, it was already the ring.

"This is my evidence." The court officer said.

Fu Chuanchuan and the others were stunned. When the trial ended, Fu Chuanchuan didn't care about Lu and the general, and hurriedly caught up with Xu Xincha and asked, "Xu Suo, what happened just now?" ”

"That's it." Xu Xincha pretended to smile mysteriously, "If you want to know more specific, let's go back to a meeting first." ”

"Xu Suo, it's almost time to get off work." Fu Chuanchuan looked at his phone, "Don't be like this, you tell me." ”

"Then I'll talk about it tomorrow, and leave everyone in suspense, good." Xu Xincha pressed Lu Jijiang's back and motioned for him to get into the car. Immediately, he got into the car before Fu Chuanchuan's anger rose, he rolled down the window halfway, and said to Chuanchuan: "Sister Chuan, you tell them to prepare for tomorrow morning's meeting." ”

So in Fu Chuanchuan's sight as if he was about to kill, Xu Xinchaan sat in command of Lu and drove the car, all the way away. He watched in the rearview mirror as Ms. Fu Chuanchuan chopped her foot fiercely, then stretched out her finger and left angrily. Xu Xincha smiled and ignored it.

He put his hand in his pocket and rubbed the contents.

Lu Jijiang, who was driving beside him, suddenly said: "Just now, what happened?" ”

Xu Xincha smiled, his eyebrows curled slyly. He took advantage of the red light to snuggle his mouth at Lu Jijiang, and said mysteriously: "You stretch out your hand, and then close your eyes." ”

Lu Jijiang didn't know what to do, but he still stretched out his hand and closed his eyes according to Xu Xincha's words. He felt that the person sitting next to him quickly grabbed his hand, and immediately, a cold thing was pushed onto his ring finger, and Lu Jijiang opened his eyes to see that it was actually the ring.

Xu Xincha grabbed the hand of the landing general with satisfaction, and whispered: "It would be good if it were the left hand." ”

"What?"

"No, nothing." Xu Xincha hurriedly said, "Wan Qizhe has made several attempts to copy this ring before, although they have all failed, but these failed copy items are exactly the same as this real ring in appearance. ”

Lu Jijiang understood: "So before the trial, you were afraid that this ring would disappear like a mobile phone and be replaced." ”

"Yes." Xu Xincha nodded, took the ring off Lu He's finger. Lu Ji put his hands on the steering wheel again, taking advantage of the green light and walking slowly forward with a car, "This ring is very important, I don't know if it's the only one." So no matter what, you can't lose it. ”

He lowered his voice, and the whole person shrank on the co-pilot, half of his face was not illuminated by the sun, and he looked a little gloomy: "It was supposed to be an extra layer of insurance just in case, but I didn't expect it to really disappear." He changed his words: "I didn't expect Lao Wan's sensor lamp to be a little useful, at least I know when to use the ability." ”

"Okay, it's time to get off work now." Xu Xincha leaned comfortably on the back of the co-pilot's seat. After He He's case ended, although Xu Xincha still felt heavy in his heart, he also felt relaxed that "another case was solved". He glanced at Lu and Jiang one after another, and couldn't help but say, "I want to go back to the Shiyan Institute first and put the ring away." Do you want to come with me? ”

Lu Jijiang took the time to look at him: "Okay." ”

So Xu Xincha naturally abducted his new assistant to have dinner.

After coming out of the Shiyan Institute, he changed to Xu Xincha to drive. He doesn't have much leadership as a person, and he doesn't need an assistant to do such things as driving. It's just that this feeling of rotating driving makes him feel as if two people have been together for a long time and have a tacit understanding that they can't say anything, and there is a little warmth lingering in his heart.

After getting out of the car, Lu Jijiang fell silent over the name of the restaurant "Encounterlove". Looking at the person behind him sly, he knew that the person must have done it on purpose, saying that he was going to go on a blind date with He He before, so he booked the restaurant here, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen to the girl, and the restaurant here is difficult to make an appointment, so he postponed it to eat today.

It's just a bad excuse.

How could he not see Xu Xincha's thoughts. But he also went with him, and Lu Jijiang looked at Xu Xincha, who was sitting opposite. The man insisted on wearing a shirt and a waistcoat over the still cool April nights. The waistcoat tightly wrapped around his lean waist, and a few red roses were embroidered on it, adding a touch of enchantment to his calm and serious black and white outfit.

"I heard you say you don't want to live in the school anymore? Want to go out and rent a house? After seeing Lu Jijiang nodding, Xu Xincha said, "I know a friend who happens to be a real estate agent, let me ask him to help you take a look - it's closer to your school." ”

"No, I'm in a hurry." Lu Jijiang lightly rejected Xu Xincha's words, and quietly and without guilt, he sent his roommate out of the housemate, "My roommate has a girlfriend and makes video calls in the dormitory all day long, which affects my studies a little. ”

Chang Ji, who was far away in the school dormitory, was writing a thesis, and suddenly a shudder: "Did someone scold me just now?" ”

"I understand, I understand." Xu Xincha nodded again and again, and secretly looked at the landing general, "Don't worry, my friend is very efficient." It's fine to move out in a situation like yours. ”

"I mean," Lu Ji elegantly put down the knife and fork in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked at Xu Xincha with his unique amber eyes, "Last time I went to your house, I found that there were still spare rooms in your house. ”

"Xu Suo," Lu Jijiang said slowly, "are you willing to let me live in your house?" ”

For a moment, Xu Xincha felt that the world had become silent. He found that the man in front of him was too much. In his twenty-eight years of life, he has also talked about several boyfriends after he is clear about his orientation, and almost all of them are he who takes the initiative. Over time, he has also developed a cheeky skin, no matter how embarrassing the conversation is, he can say it, and he boasts that he will not be easily provoked.

But Lu will be different, Xu Xincha found. He went further, and Lu Jijiang took ten steps forward, interrupting his leisurely and slow pace. When he was still caught off guard, the other party looked calm.

Not only is I willing to let you live in my house, Xu Xincha thought to herself, I still want you to live in my heart!

Of course, he was embarrassed to say this. He just put on a slightly red face and nodded calmly: "Of course you can, you are my assistant again, and it is more convenient to commute to and from work together or pick you up and drop you off at school." Speaking of which, Xu Xincha finally reacted in hindsight, isn't this cohabitation!

This is going too fast!

He continued to stumble, "It's just that the house is not fully equipped, and you may have to wait for a while. ”

"It's okay." Compared with Xu Xincha, Lu will be much calmer. Obviously, he is the younger party, but at this time he is much calmer than Xu Xincha, "I am willing to wait for you." ”

Xu Xincha couldn't even hold the knife and fork steadily. He already had a good impression of Lu Jijiang, and he could still bear this slightly ambiguous sentence, and the successive comings made him unable to hang the face of an old man. He lowered his head to cut the steak, put a small piece into his mouth, and solemnly responded: "Okay." ”

He glanced at Lu Jijiang quickly, and thought to himself, "When this time the matter is over, I will find an opportunity to confess to him." ”

When he got up for the meeting the next morning, Xu Xincha still felt a little unreal. He stood at the front of the conference table, and Lu Jijiang, as the assistant to the director, opened the PPT for him, and returned to the back of the conference table to write the meeting minutes. Xu Xincha suppressed the emotions in his heart and turned to work.

He briefly talked about yesterday's ring, and then said, "The next thing is the point - what do you think about the phones and fake rings that disappeared out of thin air?" ”

Wan Qizhe, who was holding a bright sensor light in his arms yesterday, was the first to speak: "Someone must have activated the time ability at that point in time. The sensor light may glow when the ability is activated, but it will never be when it is not activated. ”

"And what kind of ability is this?"

"I have two guesses right now." Fu Chuanchuan continued, "This ability may be a close-range ability or a long-range ability. All of us here now, including Lu Suke, have close proximity abilities. So it's possible that someone at the trial activated the ability and took the ring. ”

Song Ming asked, "What is that long-range ability?" ”

"This capability is relatively rare now, and there is almost no such capability in the database." Fu Chuanchuan explained, "But this ability once existed. As we all know, time managers first appeared in the 30s of the 20th century, when the first time manager awakened his time ability at the age of 20. I've seen from our librarian that this time manager can know the local time everywhere in the world, which is a remote ability. ”

Wan Qi said: "You mean, who may have the ability to remote time and take away the ring in the box the moment the court officer opened the box?" ”

"It's very likely." Fu Chuanchuan nodded and said, "First of all, this trial is closed and not public, and secondly, if someone uses the ability on the spot, it will definitely emit light, and once the light is emitted, it is impossible for us not to detect it." ”

Xu Xincha asked, "Who is that?" ”

The conference room fell silent.

Lu He, who was sitting at the end of the table, spat out a name: "White Pony? ”
