When she came back from this vacation, Jian Yao lived alone in the old house in the police compound. It was the residence of the whole family before my father's death, and it has been vacant since my mother remarried.

It was already evening, and many houses in the courtyard were lit up, and the smell of food lingered far and near. Not far away, there are also many windows with lights on, and the police officers are still busy.

As soon as Jian Yao opened the door, she saw her sister Jian Xuan biting an apple and lying on the sofa watching TV. Turning his head to see her, he muttered, "Why did you come back?" I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Jian Yao casually threw the bag on her and sat down beside her: "I went to the interview, it just ended." Didn't you get home in the afternoon? I thought you'd have to sleep a little bit more over there. ”

The "over there" she said was the house that her stepfather shared. In fact, the sisters spent most of their childhood and adolescence in that house. They also have a good relationship with their stepfather. It's just that the house over there is not big, and when Jian Yao became an adult, she proposed to live here. Sometimes Jian Xuan will run at both ends, but during the New Year's holidays, the whole family is together.

Jian Xuan is also studying in other places and is a freshman this year. Today, I just returned home after more than ten hours of hard seat for the Spring Festival, and I was too lazy to do it. But as soon as she heard her sister mention the "interview", she came to her senses, turned over and sat up and stared at Jian Yao: "I heard my mother say, did you go 'there' for an interview?" ”

Jian Yao smiled slightly: "Well, I went 'there' for an interview." She briefly explained the interview, but because of the confidentiality requirements, she did not mention the specific content of the translation.

Who knew that Jian Xuan's expression became a little unfathomable: "So-you haven't seen that yet...... Mr. Bo's true face? ”

"Nope." Jian Yao looked at her, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ugh." Jian Xuan suddenly patted her on the shoulder, and said in a very solemn and painful tone, "Sister, you have to be mentally prepared. I've probably seen him - he's so scary-looking. ”

Jian Yao was stunned, and the reflex in her mind appeared as the figure of the tall man on the second floor.

Scary-looking?

Jian Xuan immediately told the ins and outs. It turned out that when she went home on Qingming Festival last year, she once went fishing in a mountain stream with her classmates, passed by the villa, and saw a man standing on the second floor. At that time, Jian Yao didn't go home in City B, so I didn't know.

Nearly a year has passed, and Jian Xuan still remembers the "glimpse" vividly. She said with a little chill, "He was so thin that he was skinny, his eyes were sunken, and his skin was wrinkled—like a skeleton...... No, like a youkai! Later, another time, my classmate said that he seemed to see him again on the street, wearing a mask and not seeing his face—I guess he was also afraid of scaring others. ”

After hearing this, Jian Yao was just silent. Jian Xuan said unsatisfactorily: "In short, conscience suggests: If that person is Mr. Bo, don't look at his face if you meet him in the future." ”

Jian Yao smiled: "That's not necessary." If you come here, you will be safe, and he will not scare me. ”

——

After chatting for a while, Jian Yao saw that the time was almost up, and looked up at the police office building opposite. Some familiar window, the light still on. She said: "In the evening, I asked Li Xunran to eat together. ”

Jian Xuan said that she had made an appointment with her classmates and left in a hurry.

So Jian Yao walked to the window and called Li Xunran: "Xunran, it's me, Jian Yao." I am back. ”

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then Jian Yao saw a figure in the window opposite.

"Stick your head out first and check your body - I'm looking forward to the telescope." He said unhurriedly, but there was already a smile in his voice.

At this end, Jian Yao also smiled.

——

The Li family and the Jian family are world friends, Li Xunran is four years older than Jian Yao, and the two have played since childhood, which can be described as real childhood sweethearts. Later, Li Xunran was admitted to the police academy, and there were very few meetings. After graduating, he was assigned to other places, and it happened that Jian Yao was also in college, so it was even more difficult to meet. I haven't seen each other for three years.

It was already dark, and the street lamps were like floating pearls, dotted all the way to the end of the long street. The night was soft and hazy, and Li Xunran leaned against the lamppost at the entrance of the police station, dressed in a straight police uniform, looking at her with a smile.

Jian Yao approached him with a smile.

When he came to the front and was about to speak, his long body suddenly leaned forward and reached out to take her into his arms.

"Long time no see, Jian Yao." He whispered in her ear.

Jian Yao didn't expect him to hug himself suddenly, she was slightly stunned, and reached out to hug him back with a smile.

The two found a small restaurant nearby, and Li Xunran chose a position by the window, separated from the outside by a carved screen, which became a quiet and independent space. He flipped through the menu, and Jian Yao looked at him without speaking.

He didn't look up, and while directing the waiter to place an order, he said, "What? Can't you see a handsome guy in the Chinese college? ”

Jian Yao replied very seriously: "Indeed." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Xunran's mouth.

His appearance is very upright and handsome, with black eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. That is, when everyone sees him, they will think that the young man is very beautiful. But he has been a very proud person since he was a child, which makes his handsomeness seem less approachable. Jian Yao felt that after being a police officer for a few years, this temperament became more obvious. He looks tougher and colder.

After ordering the food, he held the back of the chair with one hand, pointed at the table with one finger, stared at her for a while, and smiled again: "Take you to fish in a few days?" When they were children, the two often ran around the mountains, fished and dug vegetables, and had a lot of fun.

"Okay." Jian Yao also looked at him with her chin in her hands, "I also joined the fishing association at school, my skills are very amazing now, you should be mentally prepared." ”

Li Xunran laughed.

After a while, he asked her again, "Have you found a boyfriend?" ”

"Nope. What about you? ”

"No, I'm busy."

——

Just halfway through the meal, Li Xunran's mobile phone rang. He took up a few words, and his expression became solemn. After hanging up the phone, he picked up his coat and took out his wallet: "There's something in the bureau, I have to go." You eat slowly on your own. Waiter, checkout. ”

Jian Yao also took out her wallet: "I'll come." ”

Li Xunran smiled, the waiter came over, Jian Yao just wanted to pay for it, he grabbed her hand, his strength was amazing, and he couldn't move.

When the waiter was giving change, Li Xunran remembered the case he was working on, beckoned to Jian Yao, asked her head to come over, and whispered: "Recently, we may have an abduction organization active here, specializing in abducting teenagers." You and your sister are overage, but be careful. This matter is still being verified and has not been made public. ”

Jian Yao was stunned for a moment, and then heard him say again: "This is the case, and I found out about your buddy." Last month, I sorted through the case files and found that last year, a total of nine people disappeared in the whole city, as well as in the lower districts and counties, which is twice the number of previous years. ”

Jian Yao frowned when she heard this, and asked, "Then?" ”

"Then I made a statistic. Of the nine people, eight were teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18, and all of them disappeared in the city. This matter hangs in the air. He whispered, "According to the bureau's records, I asked the old criminal police again, and there are indeed abduction and trafficking organizations operating in the vicinity in recent years." They are likely to have been trafficked into black factories. ”

Jian Yao's brows frowned even more, and Li Xunran patted her shoulder: "I will solve the case." ”

——

Jian Yao sent him to the door of the shop. Li Xunran walked out of a paragraph, and when he turned around, he found that Jian Yao was still standing in place, looking at him quietly. At this time, the night was already dark, the moonlight in the sky and the lights on the ground, as if they had dissolved together, and the pedestrians on the road were sparse. Li Xunran looked at Jian Yao, she was wearing a light yellow sweater, dark pants, and her long black hair fell down her shoulders, making her whole person more and more white and graceful.

"Get in!" He roared from afar, and Jian Yao nodded. He turned, rubbed his hands together, let out cold air in his mouth, and strode away.

——

In the evening, Jian Yao relayed Li Xunran's words to her sister, only to hear that she was nervous, and even said that she would go to buy self-defense tools tomorrow.

The sisters spoke for half a night. Before going to bed, Jian Yao thought that as soon as the criminal police got busy, the fishing appointment with Li Xunran was only afraid that it would be postponed indefinitely. When you think about the daytime interviews, it's important to do this job well.

The next morning, Jian Yao was still cooking breakfast in the kitchen, and the courier came to the door. Jian Xuan signed it and gave it to her: "In the same city." ”

Jian Yao opened it and saw that it was indeed a work agreement sent by Fu Ziyu. She looked at it carefully, and there was no problem, but when she turned to the last signature page, she was stunned.

Party A's name has been signed - "Bo Jinyan".

Jian Xuan came over curiously: "Sent by the monster?" How about the word? ”

Jian Yao replied: "Words are like people. Even if he's a monster, he's a monster with a lot of style. ”

Jian Xuan: "Oh, oh, oh-"

Jian Yao took out the signature pen from her bag, and just wanted to sign, the tip of the pen touched the paper, and then stopped. She took a blank piece of paper and practiced it more than ten times, before she waved her pen and signed her name next to him.
