Chapter 143: Echo
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Holding a stuffed paper bag in his arms,.
The street lamps that went out one after another brought the signal that the sunrise was approaching, and the cool morning dew climbed up to the ankles along with the fine blades of grass. With her ponytail swaying from side to side like the pendulum of an old-fashioned clock, the girl finally rushed to the highest hill in the park.
The dark sky hanging high above the sea had just been broken by the early morning sun. The girl carefully tightened the paper bag filled with the warm-scented bread, panting softly as she turned her little head to search around.
Benches made of staggered metal frames appeared out of thin air under a tall pear tree. The young man reclining on it stretched slowly, and the book that had been covering his face fell to the ground because of his movements. The boy shook off his hair, which had been stained with a few white petals, and bent down to pick up the spread book.
"Am I late again?" The apology on the girl's face lasted less than a second, and she immediately sat down next to the boy like a well-behaved and excited little animal, and ostentatiously raised the paper bag towards the sky, "Quick, look what I bought!" A limited supply of snacks that only sells one plate per day! I can't grab it at all when I go to school! โ
"Yes, yes, congratulations on finally getting it." The young man smiled very cooperatively and agreed, "You're not late, it's still early, and you haven't even come here every morning before the door opens." โ
"Huh?" The March wind was still soaked in the spring mood, and the girl subconsciously shrunk her neck, "Then you came in through the wall in the dark?" It's not easy, you won't be caught, will you? โ
"I'm fine here now, which means I haven't been exposed." The boy untied the thick woolen scarf and patiently circled the girl several times, until he confirmed that the other party's whole body had been wrapped in a completely impermeable ball, and then nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "It's you, how did you get in?" It's not time to open the door. โ
"I used the method you taught me!" Slightly reflective thin threads were wrapped around her fingers, and the girl stretched the flower rope as if showing off, "I came in directly from the upper floor!" For the first time, I thought my talent was amazing, and I thought I would only be able to use it to knit sweaters in the future. Flash."
"It's a good idea to knit a sweater, but maybe it's not warm enough." The boy smiled instantly, his crooked eyes filled with flowing brilliance, "The more strings you use to twist into a strand, the stronger it will be, but it will also consume more energy." Speaking of which, you are really bold, you obviously fell into the pool when you were still trying last time, and today you dare to jump from the third floor into it. โ
"Because I want to see you sooner!" The girl's expression was as straightforward and enthusiastic as ever, "Since you started trying to run with that gentleman surnamed Diao, you have less and less time to spend with me!" โ
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because there's been so much new stuff to learn lately. But the last time I was in a hurry to go out, it was becauseโ" The boy dragged out a long note as if he had an appetite, and the boy slowly pulled out a long box from his pocket, "I want to go out and buy this for you." โ
"Wow thank you! Can I open it right away! The girl took it in a gesture with both hands up, her face full of excitement.
"Absolutely. In short, it's not a particularly valuable thing, but it's not easy to buy in this too broken world. The smile on the boy's face froze unnaturally, but the girl who was looking at the box with joy did not pay attention.
"Is this ......" a silly little fox was embroidered on the dark red headband, and the girl's fingers rubbed cherishly on its short beard, "The Little Prince"? You're really childlike. โ
"A little girl who turns two pages every day before going to bed is not qualified to talk about me." The boy raised an eyebrow, "Actually, I'm not sure if you'll like this not-so-bright color right now. โ
"Barely so. Although it looks a little dirty, it is at least better than the pink and tender ones. The girl said something slightly disgusted, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were already flying.
"I wish it could stay with you a little longer...... So I chose a dark color. โ
"Oh, I see, you're trying to fool me with it for two more years? That's not going to work. The girl's round eyes shone with the cunning light of a fox in a fairy tale, "But what did you choose to buy me a gift at this time?" Does it count as an apology for releasing my pigeons during the Chinese New Year? Then I'll accept it with peace of mind. Flash."
While speaking, the girl pinched the headband and gestured on her head at a different angle, excited for a long time, and finally barely calmed down from the joy of getting this rare little gift, and in a panic took out a piece of bread and took a bite, urging: "Quick, we have to eat it when it is the best to eat, otherwise it will be blasphemy." โ
"Blasphemy? Your description is exaggerated. The morning sun cast a soft glow on the boy's silhouette between youth and maturity, and the girl turned to look at him, only to find that his face was blurring.
"Li Ran?" The girl blinked vigorously, only to notice that the young man's expression was a little half-dreaming and half-awake at this time, "Wake up, wake up, why do you look stupid?" Sleepy? It can't be because you catch a cold after lying here for a while, right? โ
โโฆโฆ May I ask you a question? โ
"Just say, don't come to this set." The girl was holding a loaf of bread in her mouth, and her words were a little slurred.
"The reason why I want to say it so formally is because this question is very important, and you must think it clearly before answering me." The boy hesitated for a rare moment, and asked in an extremely cautious tone, "Ifโ"
A gust of wind blew suddenly, drowning out the boy's voice. The girl had to squint her eyes and reach out and brush away the snow-like white petals.
โโฆโฆ Isn't that true? Finally, she heard the young man's voice speak.
In the blink of an eye, it was no longer gentle petals flying in the air, but real, cold transparent crystals. The girl froze in place, watching the boy in front of her gradually shatter like ice crystals that had been knocked open.
The biting cold struck her suddenly. Yuan Sui shivered in his sleep, and suddenly bounced up from the hospital bed with his eyes wide open.
"What are you doing! I was so scared that I almost fell! Lu Chuanxu walked in with Mo Yunhan, "I've never seen anyone get up like a corpse!" โ
Not having the heart to argue with him, Yuan Sui stroked his chest that was wheezing violently, and looked up at the white ceiling of the hospital blankly.
"Sister? What happened to you? Lu Chuanxu was holding a cartoon lunch box in his hand that did not match his bad boy appearance, "Sleep until you lose your memory?" You also said that you actually hurt your brain last time, but the doctor didn't check it out? โ
"Yes, I don't know you anymore, who are you, go away." Yuan Sui rubbed his sweaty forehead vigorously, "Wait, you still have to leave the meal first." โ
Lu Chuanxu "cut" slightly, slammed the lunch box on the cabinet next to the bed, and said, "For the sake of you being a wounded now, I won't care about you." If you're still a little touched by my brother, who has only recently developed a talent for cooking, eat it all for me. โ
"Got it, got it." Yuan Sui twisted his head and waved his hand at him, "I'm fine, go and take care of the people who should be taken care of." โ
Witnessing the sister and brother finishing a short verbal battle, Mo Yunhan helplessly helped Yuan Sui open the door to see off the guests, and finally couldn't help but conclude: "Actually, you two are quite like sisters and brothers...... Seriously. โ
"Oh." Yuan Sui still pressed his forehead with one hand, without any superfluous expression on his face.
"What's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with it? โ
"It's fine." Yuan Sui sat up against the head of the bed, first quietly glanced at Mo Yunhan, who seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, then cleared his throat and asked tentatively, "That...... Can I be discharged from the hospital now? โ
"Discharged?" Mo Yunhan's voice rose in an instant, "Hey, friend, are you sleepy, do you think you have some kind of self-healing type of talent?" It's not been twenty-four hours since you came in last night! You even dragged me out again! You! โ
Yuan Sui's response was to cover his ears with a funny face, until the former closed his mouth angrily, and then said in a good voice: "I know you're worried about me." But I'm a member of the second team, so there's no reason why I'm out for a long time because of this small injury. โ
"But ......"
"You've dealt with the boss a little bit, what kind of person do you think he is?" Yuan Sui blinked, "Recklessness has always been the glorious tradition of the second group." โ

The young man in the pool of blood had his eyes wide open, and his body was covered with a few dried and fallen blades of grass. Kong Zhongsi used his hands in vain to drive away the mosquitoes, muttered several times in a row with emotion, and then turned around and motioned to the police brothers behind him to pull the cordon farther away.
"Look at this, I've been dead for most of the day." Kong Zhongsi called up a photo on the ID screen, and nodded with a complicated expression, "It's him, that's right." The burglar we caught confessed his name in the morning, and even if we had had the idea that he would be here, we would have seen only a corpse that was slightly fresher than it was now. โ
"Is it true that they are the 'main culprit' they have identified?" Ling Shucheng's expression was still faint, "It's fast enough." โ
"The choice of place was also good. I'll give your dad advice when I get back later, and someone will have to patrol the park from time to time after it's closed at night. Kong Zhongsi easily broke a piece of lush branches that greatly obstructed his vision, "This place is relatively remote, if it weren't for the smell of a picnic...... Hi. โ
"It's ...... in the park again"
"yes, I'm thinking about it, too." Kong Zhongsi covered his mouth and tried to hide his yawn, "You say, is there any connection between the person who made trouble this time and the killer who almost completely paralyzed the entire police station before?" โ
"There's no evidence at the moment, I don't know." Ling Shucheng replied.
"I've heard your instincts are sharp."
Ling Shucheng glanced at him expressionlessly, and said calmly, "Not really." โ
"Why?"
"'Compared to the previous woman who was also a world-class player among the killers, last night we faced the most sports talents.'" Noticing the other party's facial expression that was so surprised that his jaw couldn't close, Ling Shucheng explained, "Yuan Sui said. โ
"Oh, no wonder." Kong Zhongsi nodded with a lot of movement, "If you say it first, the goosebumps all over my body will not be enough......"
"Who's going to follow up on this?"
"I'm going to hand it over to my fellow police officers...... lest anyone accuse me of 'overstepping the boundary' again. Of course, if you feel the need to do so, you can get to the bottom of it. โ
"You hand over the work to them first." Ling Shucheng slowly raised his eyes, "What I want to investigate probably can't be shared with them in the first place. โ
