Qi Zihuan felt that a drop of cold sweat was running down the back of his neck.

His left hand was still on the side of the little girl's face, as if he was trying to do something wrong.

"You're sister-in-law, right? I'm Officer Huang's partner, surnamed Qi, and I took Meimei to the hospital last time, and I just wanted to do a magic trick for her. Hehe. Qi Zihuan stiffly withdrew his hand, completely embarrassed.

Jun Yi heard that he was Huang Huotu's colleague, and thought that this was indeed in the police station, so he relaxed his expression.

"Ah, hello hello, Huotu hasn't been home much recently, so I don't know he changed partners yet, I'm sorry."

Qi Zihuan scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, it's also temporary, I'm from the criminal team, and recently there was a case where I was receiving FBI agents with Officer Huang." ”

"Huotu, his personality is a little withdrawn, Xiao Qi, you should take care of him more." Junyi kept smiling, but there was still a hint of tiredness on her face, "Come, come in and sit." ”

She had a pair of leather shoes in her hand, the edges were a little wet, and she should have just taken them to the sink to scrub them.

Qi Zihuan followed in and casually picked up the information that the yellow fire clay put on the table. It was the copy of the stone carving rubbings that I got back from Academician Sheng Zuchang last time.

"Meimei is very well-behaved, I saw her twice, she is very obedient and doesn't run around." Qi Zihuan had nothing to say.

Junyi sat on the edge of the small bed and picked up the dirty clothes thrown around, and sighed when she heard this: "She is indeed very well-behaved, but unfortunately it is this sick ......"

"I heard it's psychological?"

"Well, Xiao Qi, you are also from the bureau, and you are still from the criminal team, so you must have heard about the incident a year ago." Junyi's face was gloomy, but her tone was calm, "After that accident, Meimei never spoke again...... Not only Meimei, but even Huotu is always reluctant to go home and sleeps in the office all day. ”

"Officer Huang may have been busy lately." Qi Zihuan said casually, took out a copy of a text and a symbol, and put it on the chessboard of the yellow fire.

The chessboard is still lit with colored light, and the light shines through the two sheets of paper, so that the marks on the paper overlap.

Junyi was silent for a while before she said slowly: "Alas, in fact, I know that he is blaming himself, but I don't blame him." My brother did make a mistake......

"Sister-in-law, in fact, I was in the car on a rainy day that night, and on the way home, Officer Huang also told me that he was going to move back home, saying that a stable family environment is conducive to Meimei's recovery." Qi Zihuan tried to help Huang Huotu speak.

Junyi was stunned for a moment, remembering the misunderstanding that night.

It was just a colleague who happened to drop her off in the car that day.

However, it was not easy to say this to Qi Zihuan, so Junyi had to change the topic and said: "It's okay to be beautiful and obedient, although I don't want to speak, but I don't like to play as much as before, I study hard every day, and my academic performance has improved a lot." ”

"Then she must have been praised by the teacher at school." Qi Zihuan said along the topic.

"No, her grades have improved a lot, but because she doesn't speak, there will always be some children who bully her. So the school had to interview the parents every once in a while and say that she was fighting with people at school again. Junyi's voice lowered again, "It's strange to say, she used to be very soft, but now she refuses to suffer at all." I saw the bad boys hurt worse than she every time. ”

As soon as Qi Zihuan was about to answer, he saw Huang Huotu and Kevin Wright, who had dispersed, walk in.

He quickly got up and pulled Kevin Wright into the hallway, allowing the couple to talk on their own for a while.

Kevin Wright also likes children, squatting by the window and talking to Meimei in extremely broken Chinese, trying to make the little girl laugh.

Of course, the result was the same as Qi Zihuan, and he only received an indifferent glance from the little girl.

There was a faint sound of the two of them being angry with each other in the room, still talking about divorce and other things.

Not long after, Junyi walked out of the office, squeezed out a smile and said to Qi Zihuan: "Come to our house for dinner in two days, my cooking skills are still good." ”

Without waiting for Qi Zihuan to answer, she sent another invitation to Kevin Wright in English, and the American readily agreed.

After Junyi left, Qi Zihuan and Kevin Wright entered the office together.

"Officer Huang, one of my uncles is seriously ill, I am going to visit him tomorrow, and I need to take a day off." Qi Zihuan said the rhetoric that he had thought of a long time ago.

Huang Huotu ignored him at all, his eyes fixed on the rubbings on the chessboard.

Because of the light on the chessboard, the circle symbol on one piece of paper is exactly a few words on another piece of paper, and the middle is connected by a line.

He looked at it for a long time, then suddenly grabbed the copy and ran outside.

After running a few meters, he suddenly remembered to turn around and said, "Xiao Qi, you go and call Bowen, and then take Kevin to the conference room to gather." ”

Qi Zihuan responded, explained a few words to Kevin Wright in a low voice, and then went to the criminal team to find Li Bowen.

When several people arrived at the conference room, they saw Huang Huotu fiddling with the copy on the projector.

Turn off the lights and the contents of the two sheets of paper are projected onto the wall.

"I think I've found the pattern of the murderer's murder." Huang Huotu suddenly announced a major development.

Li Bowen squinted at the projection and said in a deep voice: "You tell me specifically." ”

Huang Huotu pointed to a few words circled by symbols and said: "Look at these words, the first one is rich, which refers to Liao Zhenfu. The second wonderful word should be Qiu Miaofang. ”

"Exactly the first two victims." Li Bowen muttered.

"Yes, the third word is Jing, this one is more mysterious. It can only be said that Lorenzo was a Christian priest, and when Christianity was first introduced to China, it was called Nestorianism. The fourth word is Wang, and it is very likely that he will be the next victim. ”

He finished every sentence in Chinese and repeated it in English.

Kevin Wright said, "You mean that this is what the murderer is looking for?" ”

"Or it could be said that the murderer was trying to fulfill the prophecy of this stone carving." Huang Huotu's thinking was very clear, "Don't worry, there are two copies of the symbols here." ”

With that, he replaced the paper with the symbols for the other two, and the paper on which the words were printed was still pressed underneath.

The second circled words are "Those who do not believe in ghosts and gods."

The third chapter circles "less yang and too yin".

Li Bowen lit a cigarette and asked with a solemn expression: "It is easier for those who don't believe in ghosts and gods to explain, what does this Shaoyang and Taiyin mean?" ”

"In the Sexagenary Chart, the two qi of Shaoyang and Taiyin represent May to July, as well as fire and earth." Qi Zihuan stood in the darkness at the back of the conference room and said lightly.

Li Bowen hurriedly turned his head to look at the yellow fire earth.

Huang Huotu was crouching in front of the projector, and the white light from the machine hit his face.

It's all white.
