After listening to Team Guo's words, I drank all the soy milk in the bowl, and after breakfast, I followed Team Guo to the house, the room was still relatively spacious, and it was well ventilated and comfortable.

Team Guo said politely: "Just sit down, don't be an outsider." ”

"Team Guo, your current colleague shouldn't have come to your house either."

"Except for old colleagues and retired neighbors, no one has ever come to my house, and I am usually deserted, and if I don't have a daughter at home, I would be really lonely."

"Your daughter is a sophomore in college this year." I looked at a high school graduation photo and said.

"Yes, she learned the Internet, she also wanted to take the police academy, but after her mother died, she never mentioned it again, and the score in the college entrance examination was enough to go to the police academy, but she still learned the Internet."

"Maybe she doesn't want to be like you when she becomes a police officer, and she doesn't have time to take care of her family."

"Well, in fact, I don't object to what she learns, I just want to find a chance to have a good talk with her."

After speaking, Team Guo came to the windowsill alone, opened the window and lit a cigarette, and the smoke rings that were spit out seemed to be full of troubles and fluttered irregularly. Although Team Guo has a habit of smoking, I didn't smell any cigarettes from his other clothes, and there was an ashtray with no ash on the table in the living room, which was relatively clean, so it can be said that Team Guo paid attention to the details of life.

Soon, after half of the cigarette in his hand was burned, he snuffed it out with his bare hands, put the remaining half back next to the ashtray, and waved his hand at me and said, "Try not to exceed two cigarettes a day, I've been smoking for almost 30 years, and it's quite difficult to quit." ”

"At least you are still very responsible for your family, I haven't smelled a single cigarette so far, and the clean ashtray shows that you rarely smoke at home."

"My daughter hated me like this at the beginning, so she didn't dare to smoke at home, and when no one was around, she really wanted to smoke it and secretly satisfy her hunger." At this time, Team Guo's expression was more relaxed than before.

As I was talking, a very crisp footstep came from outside the door, and then disappeared at the door, it seemed that Team Guo's daughter had returned, and I suddenly panicked, not knowing what to do next. I saw Team Guo patting his clothes and walking towards the door, and at the same time the door was also opened, a girl with a healthy wheat complexion and long black hair draped over her shoulders walked in, I didn't see what she looked like at first glance, but judging from that posture and skillful dressing, she is more mature than women of the same age, probably because after the relationship with Team Guo, she forced herself to be more self-reliant.

"Why are you smoking again?" Not only was her tone very disdainful, but her expression was also very disgusted.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't hold back, did you have fun with your classmates?" Team Guo asked enthusiastically.

"Usually, who is he?"

"The younger brother of one of my former students, who likes to solve crimes, is about your age."

She seemed to ignore my existence, didn't say anything, but walked straight to her bedroom, and threw her backpack on the bed at will, and then I found out that her dress was almost completely backless, and even felt that she didn't even wear underwear, which was different from the girl I imagined, it was really completely different, and she didn't need to use honorifics for her biological father, but called "you", and her attitude was so bad, but even so, Team Guo still didn't feel much disgusted.

"Team Guo, your daughter seems to... It's more complicated than I thought. I whispered.

"I didn't care much about it in the past, but now it's like this."

"Aren't you worried about her being in danger outside, she's dressed like this, and it's easy to be targeted by bad guys at night."

"At least she's always playing with her friends. , I won't be alone, you can see if you can communicate with her. ”

"This," I sighed with gritted teeth, "she's stronger than any girl I've ever met before, and I really don't know how to talk to her." ”

"Try it, if you help me solve it, then you have done me a great favor, I don't have anything else to ask, I just hope she can accept my apology, that's all,"

"What do you call your daughter?"

"Guo Xiaowen."

Before that, I still thought that Team Guo said that it was just a joke for me to help him solve his family affairs, but now I have no way out. When I walked to the door of the bedroom, the first thing I saw was a book of criminal psychology on the table, and I asked a little tremblingly: "That, Sister Xiaowen, my name is Shangguan Yunping." ”

Lying on the bed, she played with her phone and replied, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that you don't have a very good relationship with your father, I think no matter what, he is your father after all, and although he is very busy with work, it can't be used as an excuse, but this is also his trouble." I used the old-fashioned way to talk to her about it.

"I'm not interested in what you're saying." She replied without looking up.

"You don't seem to be so resistant to outsiders, at least so far you don't have the slightest intention of driving me away." I said with a slight smile.

"I've always been."

"So this is the attitude towards your father, is this a kind of revenge for you? After all these years, I feel like I can let go of anything, after all, your mother definitely doesn't want that, right? ”

"Hmph, I don't have the kind of thoughts you say, just live your own life, did you come to my house to convince me?"

"Persuasion? I didn't say I was going to convince you, and since you said the word, it means that you still have some resentment in your heart, don't hold it back, you're just too deep, and don't you need your father in your life now? ”

"Do you mean I can't live in my own home?"

At this time, Team Guo also came over and said in a tone full of regret: "Xiaowen, I know you are still angry with me, after so many years, Dad already knows that he is wrong." ”

"I don't need your apology." Guo Xiaowen threw her phone aside, sat up from the bed and said, "I can forgive you at any time, but it's hard to say whether my mother can forgive, so it's not me who you really need to apologize." ”

"I know I owe you a lot over the years, and I haven't given you much love since I was a child, but can you give me a chance."

"There's an outsider here today, and I'm not afraid, do you know the last thing my mother said before closing her eyes?" Guo Xiaowen's eyes were like sharp blades, and she said extremely sternly, "Mom said that she didn't want to disturb your work, said that you were busy, and Mom was still thinking about you in the end, but have you ever thought about it for your family?" Do you know how painful my mother was in the last few days, why are they all like that, you still don't care about your family at all, can't you spend two days with your mother, say that the masses need your help, and your mother is not a mass? Mom is a housekeeping machine in your eyes, isn't she? ”

"How can you say that about your mother!" I couldn't help but reply, "There's something wrong with Team Guo in this matter, but you can't say that about your family, don't you plan to do your filial piety in the future?" ”

"Little brother, you are so naïve, have you ever experienced the feeling of losing a loved one?" Guo Xiaowen said in a mocking tone.

"I haven't experienced it, because when I was very young, my parents divorced, and my sister took me with me since I was a child, and the only memory I have of my mother is a wedding photo from 25 years ago, and I don't have any memory of the rest."

Guo Xiaowen's aggressive attitude suddenly disappeared, just gasping for breath, Team Guo took the opportunity to say: "I did really bad things in the past, that's why I have today's retribution, if you feel that my sins are not enough, you can continue to hate me, but I really hope that one day you can forgive me." ”

"Actually, you still want to forgive Team Guo in your heart." I looked at her bedroom and said, "Even after learning the Internet, you still maintain your love for the criminal police, and the criminal psychology on the desk, as well as the books about the law on the bookshelf next to you, all show that you still haven't given up on these." ”

"It's just a hobby."

"Is the same with the pendant around your neck?" I had noticed the pendant before, at first I thought it was her mother who bought it for her, but when she was lying down, the pendant slipped out, it was a jade pendant. Compared with women, that kind of pendant is more favored by men, so it should have been bought for her by Team Guo in the past.

"This." Guo Xiaowen looked down at the pendant, holding it in the palm of her hand, not knowing what to say.

"I think your father bought it for you, you haven't taken it off after wearing it for so long, this is the real you." After speaking, I looked at Team Guo next to me, and he also nodded slightly, it seems that the pendant was indeed bought by him.

"I bought it when my family traveled to Tibet 10 years ago."

Guo Xiaowen's tone began to become intermittent, and I seemed to have accidentally opened the memory in her heart, so I continued: "Since you still wear it, don't put your resentment in your heart anymore, jade symbolizes ice and jade, this is not like you." ”

Team Guo slowly walked to Guo Xiaowen's side, sat down gently and put her hand on her shoulder, at the moment of touch, she also subconsciously dodged it, Team Guo also hurriedly took her hand back, but the next second she slowly leaned on Team Guo's shoulder, holding the pendant with both hands, I didn't watch the scene behind, just walked out of the bedroom, and stood alone in the living room. Through the conversation just now, I found that Guo Xiaowen's heart changed very quickly, in fact, she never hated her father from beginning to end, but the resentment at that moment interfered with the sadness in her heart, which led to the misunderstanding behind it, I thought it was a very tricky thing, but the truth was right in front of me, fortunately I didn't miss such an opportunity.

In this way, the father and daughter talked in the bedroom for more than half an hour, and seemed to forget my existence, at this time my sister suddenly called, I quickly came to the door and asked softly: "Sister, what is the matter, I am now at Guo's house." ”

"In the senior's house, aren't you investigating the case of the female singer? Didn't an agent die yesterday? I have a relative of a colleague who knows the agent, and he's on his way to Dongcheng right now. ”

"Well, our side has determined that the dead agent is not the real target of the murderer, and the murderer's purpose is not to kill people, but to do a scare campaign, but there was an accident and killed someone by mistake."

"Yes, anyway, I heard that the agent is a lily, and it may have an unusual relationship with her female singer."

"In this way, I didn't think about it over there, but I can see that their relationship is not ordinary, and they all live together." I wasn't too surprised when I heard about Lily.

"I don't know if I can help you, anyway, the person has already passed, and I guess I will be there this afternoon."

"Well, okay, I'll follow Team Guo to take a look, by the way, sister, do you know about Team Guo's family affairs? I just helped Team Guo with a family matter. ”

"I don't know, I didn't see anything unusual about Team Guo when I was in school."

"Yes." I lowered my voice to the lowest and said, "There is a bit of a contradiction between Team Guo and my daughter, I am about to become an emotional mediator, but fortunately, my performance is good, it is estimated that Team Guo has fully accepted me, and now there are police officers in Dongcheng who can handle cases, do you think I am very powerful." ”

"You're always like this, okay, there's another thing, when Dad comes back during the National Day holiday, he will go to a mountain villa to meet an old friend, and you can come with him then."

"Lodge? How I have a bad feeling. "At that moment, all the movies I saw about the villa came to mind.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, hang up first."

The moment I hung up the phone, I heard a man's voice, and although I didn't hear what it was, I was sure it was a man. Unexpectedly, my sister's progress was quite fast, and they all lived together.

After a while, Team Guo finally finished talking to his daughter, I stood at the door and watched Team Guo come out of the bedroom, came to me with a smile and said, "You really haven't let me down, although Xiaowen is still a little resistant, but I'm already very satisfied." ”

"The pendant is obvious, why didn't you enter through the pendant at the time?"

"I know, but she couldn't listen to what I said in the past, you have a good eye, you can see that it is a pendant I like, how can you see it?"

"It's very simple, if I had to choose, I would also choose that kind of pendant, by the way, Team Guo, my sister called just now, saying that Fang Ling is a homosexual, and there is a person who knows Fang Ling very well is rushing to Dongcheng, almost in the afternoon, I think I can meet him, maybe I can learn some clues."

"Then do you think Fang Ling is gay has anything to do with this case?"

"I don't know very well, Fang Ling and Lin Man have an unusual relationship, Lin Man specially bought a house in Fang Ling's hometown and live together, I don't think this matter seems to have anything to do with the case."

"If I were young, I would have made the same judgment as you." Team Guo pinched his chin and said.

"Do you think there's a connection between this?"

"I can't say that there is a connection, in fact, I have always had a feeling about this case, I feel that this person behind the scenes is around us, and even we have met him, he knows Tang Mu's past very well, and he also knows Lin Man, I believe that the career of this person behind the scenes is likely to be the same as Tang Mu and them."

"You're talking about entertainers? Do artists have such great ability? They are usually too busy with their work, how can they have time to plan such a thing? ”

"Find a point of ambiguity, if I encountered a problem when I solved a case in the past, I would re-examine the whole case from something I didn't understand and change directions."

"I'm more inclined to look for more clues, because in the past, I found the key point in the process of searching for clues, so as to solve the case quickly."

Team Guo smiled and patted me on the back, I was just a novice in front of him, and I also understood what the vague point of the Guo team was talking about, but judging from the current clues, it is easier to get lost if you investigate from an unclear direction.

When the time came to twelve o'clock, Team Guo planned to take me to lunch, because I ate breakfast too late, I didn't have much appetite, but I still agreed in the face of Team Guo's enthusiasm. Guo Xiaowen did not choose to come over, but stayed at home to rest, and before going out, she deliberately walked out and said to Team Guo: "Be careful on the road, your body can't be tossed like a young man." ”

Team Guo nodded happily, I had never seen Team Guo so happy before, his face became a little ruddy, and even his steps were very big, and he couldn't see that he was sixty-two years old at all.
