On Nansha Island, a few hundred kilometers away from Nancheng City, the sky gradually dimmed, and the roaring waves kept on sounding.
In the luxurious room on the third floor of the Happiness Hotel, the curtains have long been drawn.
Under some gloomy lights, Song Wen possessed himself to look at Lu Siyu. He stroked his delicate cheek with his hand. This person was like a lonely star in the sky, shining alone in the dark night.
Lu Siyu also looked at Song Wen, he walked all the way from hell, penetrated the darkness and fog, and his feet were stained with bright red.
At this time, he was no longer surrounded by those cold corpses, mutilated internal organs, those darkness, those tricks, but the opposite, hot, warm, love, the beauty in the world, which he did not dare to hope in the past s things.
Life and hope seemed to bloom on his icy fingertips, and there was fire wherever they touched.
"Song Wen." Lu Siyu whispered the name, he reached out his hand, stroked the man's hair, slid down the bridge of his nose from his forehead, and finally touched his lips.
"I'm here." Song Wen said, holding the somewhat cold fingertips in his mouth.
Lu Siyu closed his eyes and called him again: "Little Wolf..."
He called his name softly, and felt that his empty heart seemed to be finally filled with something. The warmth of the other party came from the palms of his fingers. He firmly grasped Song Wen's hand, and in the sound of wind and rain You can still hear each other's heartbeat clearly.
Song Wen lowered his head and pressed against his forehead: "Si Yu."
Lu Siyu gave a "hmm..." in response.
He had never imagined such a moment in his life in the past.
Undercurrents surging, Lu Siyu realized that pain is also an obsessive thing, and desire can make people linger.
It's crazy to want to immerse yourself in this.
Those storms and tides, death and grief seem to have faded away.
The outside world is noisy, but at this time everything seems to be isolated by the door and the window. On this sparsely populated island, there are only the two of them, warming each other...
Lu Siyu was seasick in the boat today, and after seeing Wu Hongyou, the past things kept churning in his mind. He stayed with Song Wen for a while in the afternoon, and then felt a little feverish, but he couldn't worry about the diary that Wu Hongyou left behind, thinking about taking a picture and using it for archiving.
Song Wen promised to help him handle everything, and then coaxed Lu Siyu to bed.
He didn't want Lu Siyu to read this book more, or in other words, if he could read it less, let him read it less.
Song Wen knew how cruel the facts recorded here were for Lu Siyu, a witness, like a knife stabbed in his heart, and the knife saw blood.
After five o'clock, Lu Siyu finally woke up. He rubbed his eyes, and then saw Song Wen sitting beside the bed, with pen and paper on the bedside table.
Watching him wake up, Song Wen turned his head to look at him with gentle eyes.
Lu Siyu covered his face with his hands subconsciously, and looked at Song Wen through his fingers: "How long have you been here?"
Song Wendao: "After a while, everything has been sorted out."
Lu Siyu thought of his sleeping face being watched for a long time, and whispered, "You can watch it over the table."
Song Wen looked at him and said, "When you sleep, you are very quiet and beautiful. It is more efficient to work by your side." After finishing speaking, he handed Lu Siyu a form with detailed records.
Lu Siyu took it over and checked it, Song Wen arranged it very carefully.
The above is extracted from the book, and several robbery and murder cases planned by Beluga, most of which were not linked to the 519 case by the police before.
Now they have finally determined that these cases were also planned by Beluga.
The method of crime is also like a fingerprint. If you want to get close to the beluga whale, you need to know more about him. These cases need to be collected and summarized when they go back.
When he was almost finished, Song Wen greeted Lu Siyu and said, "Let's go, it's not raining much now, let's go out to eat together."
Lu Siyu hummed, put the piece of paper on the bedside table, blinked and asked him, "Is there still no signal on the phone?"
Song Wen nodded: "I've refreshed it more than a thousand times." He walked over to the bed and stretched out his hand to pull Lu Siyu up from the quilt.
Lu Siyu sat on the bed, Song Wen brought him clothes again, and rubbed his hair as if he was taking care of a child.
The two changed their clothes, then put on raincoats, and went downstairs along the curved stairs all the way to the lobby of the hotel.
When they got downstairs, the three teachers and students from the school had already gathered by the sofa in the hall, and it looked like they were going out to eat.
Seeing them, Qiu Lan's eyes were a little straight, probably not expecting, how the two were paired up.
Jiang Jiang had expected everything, and when he saw Song Wen and Lu Siyu coming, he asked, "By the way, handsome guy, do you still have a signal on your cell phone?"
Song Wen shook his head: "It's gone since I checked in."
Qiu Lan sighed: "It turns out that everyone is like this. I restarted my phone several times, thinking that I owed money."
The owner of the homestay, Uncle Wang, appeared out of nowhere and explained to them, "I'm sorry, the base station on this island is broken, I have received a notice just now that someone went to check and repair it, but later It’s a typhoon, I don’t know if it can be recovered before the typhoon. We have mahjong, chess and cards, and movies, and you can tell me anything you need.”
After thinking about it, Uncle Wang added: "By the way, I can't see the broadcast now. What I'm asking here is that the typhoon will officially pass here between 8:00 and 2:00 in the morning, although it is said that we are here and The cake shop is very close, but if you have dinner in the evening, it's better to come back early."
After listening to the boss's kind reminder, several people responded.
The group walked outside the hotel. Due to the approaching typhoon, the rain was heavy at one time and light at one time, and it all flew sideways. Fortunately, a few people were prepared this time, wearing ponchos, and walking for about two minutes. In the wind and rain, I came to the Eden Cake Shop, which is a few dozen meters away from the hotel.
The size of this cake shop looks quite large. There is a small yard outside. Due to the typhoon, some rattan chairs and sun umbrellas have been put away and stacked in the yard. If it's a sunny day, you should be able to sit in the yard with the sea breeze and eat cake.
Walking through the yard to the door, you can see the red signboard of the cake shop, as well as the lights of various colors.
There was a small sign outside the door that said it was open, and a few people pushed the door in.
As they entered, a crisp doorbell rang.
Although this place is on an island, it is very well decorated. The entire outer hall is about a hundred square meters. The table is white, surrounded by light pink and light blue sofas, and square macarons are on the walls. colored tiles. A dozen chandeliers hung down from the ceiling, and they were on at this time, as if they were lighting up the stars in the sky.
In the glass cabinet on the side, there are pastry models of various colors, and the price of some simple meals is written on the small blackboard behind the cashier.
Song Wen was looking at the menu on the wall when he heard Qiu Lan excitedly say: "I said why I didn't see you, so you've come a long time ago?"
Following her voice, Song Wen looked back. It turned out that behind the hall, there were several private rooms that looked like private rooms. At this time, the door of the first room was open, and Amy and Chen Zui were sitting inside.
Lu Siyu frowned slightly. He had never seen such a decoration in a cake shop, such a small independent room with dim lighting, like it was only found in a bar.
Amy greeted them and explained: "We were bored in the afternoon, so we came first. We have already eaten dinner and are waiting for dessert."
Qiu Lan said: "You said you came here to eat cake, so you must be a regular here, right? Do you have any recommended dishes?"
Amy thought for a while and said: "Red velvet is worth trying. Others, cheese and blueberries are also good. If you like a light meal, the seafood pasta here is delicious. There are some good ones, just wait. It's up to you to dig."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Chen Zui, and the two smiled at each other.
Jiang Jiang pulled Qiu Lan and said in a very low voice, "You will know what they ordered later."
A few people had just put away their raincoats when they saw a man walking out from behind.
Song Wen turned his head to look, the man was about 30 years old, with fair skin, a thin body, slender eyes and a smile at the corners of his mouth. He was wearing a chef's white coat and looked like a cake in the store. division.
Song Wen found at a glance that this man's hands were very good-looking, his fingers were long and slender, and the joints were distinct.
Because of painting, Song Wen likes to observe the details of characters. He has seen many people with good-looking hands. Lu Siyu is one of them, but Lu Siyu is thinner and his hands are more skinny.
This man's hands were one point longer than Lu Siyu's, and his fingers were flexible and strong, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing such a baker, Song Wen could imagine how he carefully made pastries when he kneaded noodles with his hands.
Now, the man was holding a glass in his beautiful hands. He used those slender eyes to look around the customers in the store, then lowered his head and drank the water in the glass.
Behind the man, a woman also came out. The woman was in her thirties and had a pair of round almond eyes. This woman has a round figure, her hair is a little messy, and her clothes are sloppy. The woman swayed her body to the front of the menu, picked up the bookkeeping book, and asked lazily, "What do you want?"
Qiu Lan and Jiang Jiang first stood in front of the pastry cabinet, looking at the dazzling array of pastries inside. Teacher Su looked at the quiet shop and asked the woman, "Are you the only two here?"
There are only two people in such a large online celebrity shop, which seems to be a bit small.
The woman said: "Yeah, it's really unfortunate. Affected by the typhoon today, the helpers in the store went home early. There were only the two of us in the store at the time, and we were a little busy. The cakes are freshly stocked, you guys are slow. Think slowly."
After speaking, the woman walked to the door of the store and took out a very thin cigarette. She opened the door halfway, and the wind suddenly blew in, and the rain also poured in.
The woman didn't care, she leaned against the door and lowered her head, put the cigarette in her mouth, then took out a lighter from the pocket on the right side of her coat, lit it skillfully, lit the cigarette, and then headed outside the house. He exhaled a puff of white smoke.
The white smoke was quickly blown away by the wind.
Looking at the woman's skilled movements, this is obviously an old smoker.
Song Wen ordered beef noodles, and Lu Siyu ordered red risotto. The two girls and the teacher also ordered some less complicated meals.
The woman held a cigarette in one hand, wrote down the meals, and said to them: "A few guests are new, right? There are not many meals in the small shop, but the cakes are all made by the chef in the shop. It’s a specialty of our shop, you can taste it if it suits your taste, and if you want to eat it in the future, you can also tell us.”
As she spoke, her eyes turned to the man beside her.
"When we come here, we naturally have to eat cake and punch in." Qiu Lan blinked.
Jiang Jiang said: "Bring me a red velvet, Mr. Su, would you like to try it?"
Teacher Su looked at the various pastries inside and ordered a black forest.
Qiu Lan was still hesitating, lying in front of the counter: "These pastries look so good, I want to eat them all." In the end, she ordered a total of three kinds of pastries.
"Do you want to eat?" Song Wen asked Lu Siyu in a low voice, "On this island, let's make do with something to eat first, I'm ready, I'll go back and wait for you to make a big meal."
Lu Siyu hesitated for a while, and ordered a piece of the most expensive royal cheese.
Several people ordered meals, but now there is no internet, so they can only use cash.
Amy was in a hurry at this time, walked to the door of the private room, and called the woman: "Yan Min, please hurry up with our order."
The woman named Yan Min raised her eyebrows and walked back to the store. She put the cigarette in her hand out in the ashtray, pointed to the man beside her and said, "Ask me about ordering and getting things. Things have to push him."
The man who drank the water heard this, put down the cup in his hand and said, "I'll go to the back right away." Then he politely said to the others, "Everyone wait a moment, I'll prepare it for you right away."
The man went to the back kitchen, and a few of them found a place to sit. Song Wen and Lu Siyu sat at a table, and the two girls and the teacher sat at the adjacent table.
The proprietress went to get a few cups, poured warm water for them, and went to the back.
Lu Siyu was sitting on the sofa by the wall. Song Wen was very interested in the few hanging paintings on the wall. He stood up and took a closer look. The paintings looked like they were drawn by a child with colored pens, full of childlike interest.
Lu Siyu also followed his gaze and looked back, leaning on their most recent picture to draw a girl who was celebrating her birthday. The girl looked like a doll with a big birthday cake in front of her. There are father, mother, and a man next to the child, and everyone has a warm smile on their faces.
There is another picture next to it. The picture is still of these people. Everyone is smiling. In their hands, they are holding balloons. The balloons are floating high in the air, colorful...
The whole store is warm and clean, and the air is filled with the sweet smell of cakes, like a candy house in a fairy tale.
If he hadn't known in advance, Song Wen would have been unimaginable. The owner of the shop had just passed away, and the cake shop seemed to be operating without any problems without the shop manager.
The proprietress is in charge of the account and is in charge of ordering, and the baker makes cakes and meals. Today, there are few customers, so you can be busy. If you have a few more helpers, even if there are more customers, the store can still operate normally.
The two girls, Qiu Lan and Jiang Jiang, seemed to have completely forgotten the story of picking up the bones by the reef. Qiu Lan whispered, "I read the reviews before and said that this baker is very famous."
Jiang Jiang nodded, "I checked the information, his name is Yang Ling, he turned out to be a pastry chef of a cake shop in Chuancheng, and he is very famous for making desserts. He did not open a cake shop in the city, but came here. Lucky for the shop."
Qiu Landao: "I also saw someone say that this place used to be an unremarkable farmhouse. After he came, he suggested that the boss should renovate and make a cake shop. Since then, the business here has gradually improved. Now , this store is already a must-visit place in South Shark Island."
Afterwards, the two girls happily started talking to Teacher Su about the various seabirds they had seen before. Teacher Su listened quietly, commenting a few words from time to time, giving some suggestions to the students, or pointing out the mistakes in their statements. With the three of them, the restaurant was very lively.
At this time, the rain was still falling, and the typhoon was whistling outside the window, but this small cake house was warm and peaceful.
Suddenly from the back kitchen, another little girl walked out.
Song Wen's eyes followed the small figure. He glanced at it, and was frozen. It was a very beautiful little girl, about ten years old, with a small round face and big eyes. Long dark hair draped over his shoulders.
The girl wore a white skirt and a pink long-sleeved coat, looking like a little angel.
The girl went straight to a small empty seat next to the private room of the cake house, pulled out the chair and sat on it. Then she opened the desk pocket, took out the white paper, took out a few crayons, and started to draw.
Teacher Su was immediately attracted by the girl, and when the little girl sat aside, he walked over, squatted down and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
The little girl raised her head and answered him in a childish voice: "My name is Li Ting'er."
Teacher Su asked again, "How old are you?"
Li Ting'er said, "I'm ten years old."
"Have you always lived here?"
The girl nodded: "I live here with my mother."
The girl answered politely, looking quiet and obedient and precocious.
Song Wen and Lu Siyu understood, this girl may be the daughter of the shopkeeper, and the paintings on the wall may also be the hands of the girl. It's not hard to guess the people on the painting, they should be the girl's deceased father, her mother, and the baker.
The original portrait of four people, but now there is one person missing.
Teacher Su obviously liked this little girl very much. He adjusted his glasses and continued to ask her: "My little friend, I ask you..."
He lowered his voice in the following words, Song Wen's table was a little inaudible, and he saw the little girl nodding her head as she drew with her head down.
Amy was a little impatient waiting in the private room, and kept walking back and forth, when she came out of it, she also bowed down and looked at the girl's painting: "Tinger, you are making progress in painting. , but, have you finished your homework?"
They were regulars at the cake shop and were obviously already very familiar with the little girl.
Li Ting'er raised her head and said, "Those elementary school courses are too simple, I have already passed the graduation exam."
At this time, the baker pushed a dining cart out from behind and explained to the girl: "The educational resources on the island are still limited, Tinger has passed the primary school graduation exam and is studying the junior high school courses by herself. We are still discussing whether to send her off the island to Xinchuan to study in junior high school. But she is too young, and if she is sent out, it will take another year or two."
There were all kinds of cakes they ordered on the dining car, and it seemed that those cakes were delivered first.
The baker put down the cakes one by one, and then pushed the cart to the private room where Chen Zui and the others were.
When Amy saw the baker pushing something out, she happily went to pick up the cart.
Under the light, the delicate desserts shone with seductive light.
Lu Siyu felt that his body had long lacked sugar, and was anxious to appease his stomach. He picked up a small spoon and cut a little cake and put it in his mouth. The sweet cake was made of fresh ingredients and melted in your mouth.
Lu Siyu held the spoon in his mouth and squinted his eyes slightly with satisfaction. Then he turned to look at the things on the dining car, but his expression gradually froze.
Song Wen followed his gaze. In addition to a few bottles of wine and two trays of cakes, there were several small boxes on the dining car. At this time, there was a box that was half open, and you could see that there were rows and rows of silver-white things, like silver bullets, and bigger eye drops.
In an instant, Song Wen understood what this store was selling, and why did the couple come here...
It turns out that this warm and sweet cake shop is not as clean as it seems.
