January 19th, 11:00 p.m., Jinli Music Company.

"Why is that old guy Jean going to dinner?"

Standing under the signboard of Jinli Music Company, Mei Yan asked Li Xiaonan, who had a solemn face beside her, with a cautious face.

Li Xiaonan did not wear the police uniform that seemed to be tattooed on his body today, but changed into civilian clothes, and the dark green jacket with washed blue jeans made him look like he had lost part of his former majesty as Inspector Li.

Staring at the beautiful man who wrote the word doubt on his face, Li Xiaonan responded with a solemn expression: "I think your reasoning is completely correct this time, Detective Meiya." ”

Tamel also changed out of the overalls he wore last time they met, and was now wearing a black jacket and sweatshirt and a pair of black skinny jeans, and was quietly moving towards the back of the group.

Suddenly, he was supported by a pair of strong hands on his back, and Feng Beifu spotted Tamel's movements in time.

"Maybe it's a daily tea party." Feng Beifu said joking words, but his face was as solemn as the previous ones, and even his hand holding garlic coffee was trembling slightly.

"It's not... I say... Jean is also an A-level detective... Is it that scary. Zhao Yinglu changed her shrewd appearance in the police station, wearing a beige tweed coat with a pure white turtleneck sweater and a "bare-legged artifact", stepping on a pair of black high boots, and her eyes flashed with clear stupidity.

"Ahem... I said..."Tamel's cold voice came out: "I won't retreat, the wind is waiting to be buried, can you stay away from me and shake, your coffee is going to spill on me..."

Feng Beifu retreated two steps to the side as if he was being buried, retreated to the back of the line with satisfaction, and exhaled: "As far as you have a lot of business, why didn't she say anything on your face." ”

Let's talk.

Mei Yan turned her head to look at the wind in a daze, and a drop of coffee was sliding down the tip of her nose on her white forehead.

"Don't bother me, garlic!" Meiyan's expression changed instantly, and she said impatiently, "Don't you see that I'm reasoning here." ”

"It's not the Qin itself that is scary..."Li Xiaonan deliberately walked towards Zhao Yinglu, who was in the penultimate position of the team, and stood beside her: "It's the fact that Qin actually invited us to be a guest..."

"You didn't find out... Heqin has known each other for so long, and he has never sat in Dong. ”

Hearing Li Xiaonan's words, Zhao Yinglu suddenly staggered back as if he had a big understanding: "So this time..."

"This is not a simple tea party!" Meiyan's voice came from behind Li Xiaonan: "I suspect that the real piano has been killed by that Saraville, and now the one waiting for us in the piano shop is the Saraville with a sharp blade in her hand!" ”

"What a terrible reasoning..."Tamel casually accosted, his face turning from solemn to gloomy at some point, he looked at the four people who were stepping back in unison, and said, "You don't want me to open the door." ”

"Is it a scene of the untimely death of a detective who has just been promoted to the A-rank?" Feng said at the back of the line, holding up the coffee in his hand and making a "cheers" gesture to Tamel.

Tamel sighed, and after struggling to no avail, he rang the doorbell as if resigned to his fate, his eyes sharp, like a cold arrow behind the door or the muzzle of a black hole.

"Hey... I say... Are you going to eat here? ”

Gai's helpless voice came from behind the crowd, preventing Tamel from ringing the doorbell's fingers.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the lid in unison, only to see that he was carrying a plastic bag full of ingredients in each hand, looking like he had just returned from shopping.

Seeing that the other four didn't move, Tamel quickly walked straight to Gai, and snatched the two bags of ingredients from his hands without saying a word, and with the ingredients in his hands, Tamel actually had a thin figure, and seemed to have become a lot taller while holding the bag tightly in his hand.

"Wow," Tamel next to him raised his coffee cup again and touched Tamel's arm, "Is this something called 'momentum', B."

o。 ”

"Huh?" Gai looked at the two bags of ingredients that had been snatched away suddenly, and his confused eyes swept over the five guys who didn't know why they had suddenly become cautious, and strode towards the door with some confusion and rang the doorbell.

"The door is unlocked, come in, the living room on the second floor." The sound of the piano immediately came from the speaker next to the doorbell.

Gai then obediently pushed open the door in front of him.

"Wow..."

The next moment Gai pushed the door in, a huge basin filled with cool water fell from the door frame, and Gai's sturdy figure was firmly locked inside.

"I'm C..."Zhao Yinglu, who was following closely behind Gai, was also covered by the AOE attack that splashed water, and his mouth subconsciously burst into a foul mouth.

At this time, the four people who fell at the back of the line neatly compared their right hands to the shape of "eight" and put them on their chins, their eyes were full of the same evil smile, the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, and they said in unison: "I know..."

“...”

"Jean! Isn't the meal good yet? ”

At this time, Gai, who had changed his clothes, sat on the main seat of the living room, with a gloomy face.

"You're going to be trolling on them, at least you've got to tell me," Gai cursed inwardly, his gaze sweeping over the group of five visitors who were smiling and whispering evilly.

As if a gust of wind was blowing, the five people who were smiling obscenely and smiling coldly at the same time had a cold war, and in the next moment, they quickly lifted the "combined state", and the five of them whistled at the same time weakly, and their eyes swayed to the other side.

"Hey, hey, hey... It's coming, it's coming..."

Jean walked from the direction of the kitchen wearing an apron, his steps cheerful, he held a few dishes in his hands, and made strange noises against his paralyzed face.

"He's not going to poison the food... Ananda..."Zhao Yinglu subconsciously hugged Li Xiaonan's arm, looking panicked: "I haven't offended him..."

At the same time, the trio of the club also got together again: "Hey! Tamel, he doesn't remember the last time I added garlic to his coffee cup..."

tamel shook his head, indicating that he was not clear: "He won't be jealous that I have become an A-class detective, right..."

"Then you can eat first, I'm not hungry now!" Meihan's little face looked solemnly at Qin, who seemed to be stepping more and more cheerfully: "I haven't been promoted to A yet!" ”

“...”

A few minutes later, Jean honestly sat down in the passenger seat and patted the lid as if he was still sulking: "Try my craft." ”

Gai stared at the dead fish with a speechless face.

"I wanted to trick them, but who knew that these guys would join forces to fool you." Jean shifted her hatred and continued: "If you don't eat them, how dare you do it... Prevent me from poisoning. ”

"Huh?" Gai's eyes swept over the five-person group who lowered their heads and pretended to be autistic like fools, and whispered, "What Boyi..."

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and officially started this nonsensical lunch.

"Could it be some kind of delay-type poison?" Mei Yan didn't make a move, she swallowed hard and asked Tamel, who was silently cooking beside her.

Tamel's eyes sharpened as he snatched a chicken leg from Feng Beifu's hand, and replied, "If you don't eat it, go over and help me bring that plate of pot-wrapped meat." ”

“...”

The battle ended like a few men from the rice machine, during which Tamel politely stopped the wind from licking the plate.

"If you dare to lick it, this chopstick will appear in your eye socket in two seconds." That's what Tamel said.

"So what's the topic for today." Li Xiao looked at the old god who was holding the piano with the milk tea cup freely.

At this time, there were only the two of them in the living room, while several other detectives and Zhao Yinglu obediently went to the kitchen to wash the dishes under the expressionless gaze of Qin.

Li Xiaonan deliberately stayed, not entirely because of his acumen, but more because Li Xiaonan was suspicious from the moment he received the invitation - there is no need to invite himself and Zhao Yinglu to this kind of "tea party" between famous detectives.

His friendship with Jean and the other detectives is more reflected in the logical collision of strange cases than in the case of fatigue and labor.

After all, they don't have much to offer.

"I think you could continue that day." At this time, Qin put his hands together on his nose, his elbows supporting the coffee table in front of him, he did not turn his head, but aimed his pupils at Li Xiaonan, who was sitting on the same side as him.

"That day?" Li Xiao was puzzled.

"The day you gave the officers a science contest." Jean continued: "The details of the serial corpse mutilation that lasted for eight years. ”

Li Xiao turned his head and met Qin's eyes, who also turned his head to look at him at some point.

Jean was still saying, "I want to know all the details of the case in Stage B five years ago, known as 'Gotham by the Night'. ”

"Why don't you ask the wind for a burial?" Li Xiaonan was not forced back by Qin's momentum, but stared at Qin's eyes and asked rhetorically.

"That's why I invited you all." Jean replied.

"So..."Li Xiaonan's brows furrowed slightly: "Why." ”

"That year, Gai and I were in stage A, and the case we faced was also a serial case." The sound of the piano was as steady as usual, and no emotional fluctuations could be heard: "It also lasted for eight years. ”

"And that case, while it ended legitimately, actually seemed to me a little hasty. We did catch a man who confessed, but I suspect that the real culprit is still at large..."

"Is it a 'church'?" Li Xiaonan interrupted Qin's narration.

"Since they have taken the initiative to expose themselves, it means that they will have to write a war letter sooner or later." Jean didn't nod, but continued: "Judging from the photo you got in exchange for your dignity, Shalaville only told us, including him, that there were six people around him. ”

"And through the rings on their hands, and the code name of Zongji, I can say with certainty that the 'church' must have a configuration of 12 people."

Li Xiaonan recalled slightly: "You mean...'church' already existed five years ago?" ”

"Even their core members are spread across the cities." Jean added: "So I want to know the full picture of the case called 'Gotham by Night' to prove or dispel my current conjectures." ”

Li Xiaonan nodded: "That's not a problem, your conjecture coincides with my plan to investigate Saraville, it's not the first time we've worked together, right, Qin." ”

Jean didn't reply again, but turned her head back with some preoccupation.

The reason is that just when he was talking to Li Xiaonan, a bolder conjecture suddenly appeared in his mind - if the timing of Saraville's appearance was five years ago, and the four cases that were used as a tryout five years ago were all committed by the "church", does that mean that behind Shalaville, who looks like the leader of the organization, there is a pair of hands controlling him.
