"Your shadow?" I remembered Shen Nuo's background.

That old street in G City, a wooden house that was destroyed by a bizarre fire more than ten years ago. I don't know if this Shen Nuo was a victim of the fire, because there were too many eyewitnesses who saw the four bodies being carried out of the wooden house by firefighters and police. The fire was really weird, the houses in Lao Cai were all old crumbling wooden houses, but the fire did not affect the other houses.

Shen Nuo wiped away the tears in her eyes, shrugged her shoulders very casually, and she changed the topic.

"Where's Xu Yi?" Shen Nuo asked suddenly.

This name made my heart sink suddenly, Shen Nuo looked at me blankly, and I frowned: "You don't know? ”

Shen Nuo shook his head and asked me what happened.

The woman in front of me is well-informed, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her supernatural powers, she knows everything about my every move and the cases she has solved, but she doesn't even know that Xu Yi has left me.

"I left City B and appeared in the south, you should know it first, right?" I asked rhetorically.

Shen Nuo nodded, not denying it.

"Then you don't know why I came to the South?" I asked again.

Shen Nuo cautiously probed: "Does it have anything to do with Xu Yi?" ”

Shen Nuo didn't look like he was lying, I thought for a while, and nodded: "She left the book and ran away." ”

Shen Nuo's face was full of shock, and then, a vague anger climbed up her eyebrows, she got up and strode out of the door, she didn't close my door, she didn't say hello, I only heard a loud noise, Shen Nuo entered his room and slammed the door shut.

The soundproofing of the hotel was average, and Shen Nuo seemed to be on the phone, but I had no way to hear what she was saying. After a long time, Shen Nuo returned to my room again, her face was slightly red, and she had obviously just been angry.

"Who are you talking to on the phone?" I asked, and I guessed early in the morning that she would be back.

Shen Nuo didn't answer me, and asked me where Xu Yi went, and Shen Nuo seemed to be very concerned about Xu Yi's departure.

"I don't know." I replied to Shen Nuo's three words, I didn't dare to say more, and I didn't want to say more.

There was silence in the room for a while, Shen Nuo's shoulders were drenched with the water dripping from her hair, I don't know how long it took, I asked what I wanted to ask. I no longer think about how to speak, Shen Nuo has a lot of thoughts, and I beat around the bush with her, but it doesn't work.

"Why did you persuade me not to come to Chongqing?" I asked.

Shen Nuo: "I don't want you to come." The flush on Shen Nuo's face faded, and he answered me playfully. I know that Shen Nuo is perfunctory to me.

Me: "Then why did you tell me to go to G City so quickly, and then you told me not to go to G City so early?" ”

Shen Nuo replied to me almost as a scoundrel: "I miss you, and then I don't miss you anymore." ”

I was slightly annoyed: "I said I don't want to be kept in the dark all the time. ”

Shen Nuo: "Aren't you Professor Li, I want to know if I want to check it myself." I couldn't hear what kind of emotions Shen Nuo's words carried, like mockery, and like just a simple joke.

Shen Nuo still refused to say anything, she didn't care about my face at all, and reported to me about the situation in G City. After I left, the inner ghost Xiaogang was controlled, and due to the latest decision of the superiors on the task force, the case of the woman in red was not officially closed. But in order not to cause panic among the masses, Zhao Da announced that the murderer of the woman in red case had died.

And the inner ghost Xiaogang also confessed to his crimes, including stealing the body in the police station, etc., but I know that this is a mysterious case. Xiao Gang did not specifically confess how he stole the body out of the police station in full view, I suspect that it is not that he does not say, but that he does not know at all.

However, the police still handed Xiao Gang over to the procuratorate and prosecuted him. Xiao Gang said that he only did the internal response of the split-lip Taoist Xiong Wancheng, and did not really commit the murder. The court sentenced Xiao Gang to life imprisonment in the first instance, but Xiao Gang did not appeal, and Xiao Gang had already spent more than a month in prison.

And the rotten face Taoist priest on the Taoist temple, Shen Nuo has also been sending people to pay attention. The temple was still as weird as ever, every day before the sun went down, the rotten face Taoist priest would clean up all the visitors who went up the mountain, and those visitors were also very cooperative, because they were afraid of seeing unclean things on the mountain.

The situation on the Taoist Temple was the same almost every day, although it was weird, but Shen Nuo didn't find any strange actions related to the case by the Rotten Face Daoist. It's just that when the news of Xiong Wancheng's death was transmitted back to the Taoist temple, the rotten-faced Taoist priest did a ritual for Xiong Wancheng at the Taoist temple.

According to the people sent by Shen Nuo, there were many people in the Taoist temple at that time, and the rotten Taoist priest cried several times when he overtook Xiong Wancheng. The local people have all received the news that Xiong Wancheng is the murderer of the woman in red, and some people ask the bad-faced Taoist priest why he should overdo it for such a heinous person.

The rotten-faced Taoist priest said a meaningful sentence: Everyone who lives in this world can see the sun and the night. People have one foot on the light and the other on the darkness, and if they are not careful, their hearts will be infected by darkness.

The bad-faced Taoist priest warned everyone present that as long as he could calm his heart, he would not become the second Xiong Wancheng.

I fell into deep thought, in the eyes of the local residents, the Rotten Face Taoist and the Split-Lip Taoist are the masters of the Tao in everyone's minds, and after Xiong Wancheng's death, everyone's faith will only be the Rotten Face Taoist Priest. I don't know if the bad-faced Taoist priest pretended to say such philosophical words, or if he really had something in his words.

A hand shook in front of me, I came back to my senses, Shen Nuo asked me what I was thinking, and I shook my head.

"I want to ask you to help me with something." I said it directly.

Shen Nuo thought for a while, and suddenly stood up: "You go out for a walk with me, and I'll think about whether to help you." Shen Nuo seemed sure that I would go with her, and she left my room directly. I picked up my coat and walked out with Shen Nuo.

The daytime temperature in Chongqing is high, but the temperature difference between day and night is very large, Shen Nuo took me to the riverside, there are many residents walking along the riverside, they speak dialects that are difficult for me to understand, people come and go, and the neon lights of the metropolis illuminate the bridge under our feet.

It was very windy by the river, and Shen Nuo's hair was quickly blown dry, and she wrapped her arms around her arms with her two hands.

I draped my coat over Shen Nuo's body, and Shen Nuo turned around in surprise, and then a bright smile bloomed on his face.

"Professor Li, do you care about me?" Shen Nuo faced me and asked.

Shen Nuo was very close to me, and the fragrance on her body was blown by the wind, and I subconsciously took a step back to distance myself from her.

Me: "Out of concern for my friends. ”

Shen Nuo didn't care, she continued to stare at me, I vaguely guessed what she was going to say next, I avoided her gaze and strode forward.

"Don't you want me to help you?" Shen Nuo shouted behind me.

I looked back, "Do you know what I'm going to ask you to do?" ”

Shen Nuo nodded: "That Jiang Jun, it seems that he is the adopted son of the former captain of the Guangdong City Criminal Police Brigade, you went to Guangdong City, you should want to find Captain Wang, right?" ”

Shen Nuo said it in a deduced tone this time, and she wasn't sure, so she came to ask me.

"Yes, some people say that I saw Captain Wang appear in Yu City, I am not familiar with this place, so I want to ask you for help." I replied.

Shen Nuo lowered her head and thought about something carefully, her body was draped over my coat, and her hands were tightly gripping the hem of her white skirt. The breeze caressed it, and Shen Nuo's hair blocked her delicate face.

After a long time, Shen Nuo raised her head, her upper teeth biting her lower lip, and she seemed to have made a big decision.

"Li Ke." Shen Nuo's address to me changed from Professor Li to Li Ke, and she took a deep breath: "You are with me, I am willing to help you with anything." ”

I frowned, I didn't hesitate, and directly refused: "Shen Nuo, I don't know how I can get your favor, but if you want this as a condition, I don't need your help." ”

Shen Nuo's shoulders trembled: "Why? ”

"Because love is not a commodity and cannot be exchanged, I will check the whereabouts of Captain Wang myself." With that, I turned to leave.

"Li Ke!" Shen Nuo stopped me again, I stopped and didn't look back.

"Even if Xu Yi may be dead, is it impossible?"

Shen Nuo's words made my brain roar......
