On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, which was the third day after the end of the 'curse case', Lin Yingxue and I said goodbye to our parents with Diandian and embarked on the road back to the imperial capital.
I was very eager when I came, and when I left, I was naturally full of all kinds of reluctance, not only for my parents, but more importantly, for the village that gave birth to and raised me.
Because the secret my dad hid here was discovered and taken away that day, my dad had to take my mom to sell the house here and find a new city to settle down. I have already said hello to my dad, no matter what He must tell me where he moved to as soon as possible so that I know where my home is.
As for this village now, my only few friends probably won’t be able to keep in touch with each other in the future. The captain and Brother Dong passed away, Xiaopang stopped talking to me because his father’s secret was cracked by me, and Monkey also ignored me because of me at that time. He killed the captain by misunderstanding, and there was no contact with him again. In other words, from now on, I don’t think I will ever return to this village, because there is no one or thing here that I can miss.
I know, Bai Qi told me that my express delivery must be extraordinary. I believe it was the express delivery Qiongqi sent me, but I did not choose to go back immediately, but stayed in the village for a few more days. , firstly, I can spend time with my parents, study more with my dad, and by the way, I can take the lonely Lin Yingxue around to relax. Secondly, I am waiting for the funeral of the captain and Brother Dong, and attending their funeral. , I just left.
When I had free time, I went to chat with my dad, hoping that he could teach me more tricks, but my dad said: "Things like reasoning can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. You have to learn to observe and observe the laws of all things. Observe everyone's behavior, habits, emotions, and accumulate more knowledge, so that you can enrich yourself. No matter what I tell you, it will be useless in the end, because the cases that happen in the world are different every moment, and the same routine is It can’t always be successful.”
Before leaving, my mother took out a jade bracelet with tears in her eyes and handed it to Lin Yingxue. She said this was some kind of family heirloom and it was to be passed on to her future daughter-in-law. I thought to myself, why have I never seen this heirloom? What kind of family heirloom is this? Do you want it to be as cliched as the content in some TV series
Lin Yingxue didn't refuse, maybe because she wanted to act in a full set with me, so she gladly accepted the jade bracelet. However, she never mentioned it again after that, nor did she return the jade bracelet to me, which made me always think that she had stolen it. It was lost or broken, so I never asked her. Anyway, this so-called family heirloom must be something my mother made up.
Before I went home, I was still worried about what I would do if Qiongqi targeted me and would end up harming my family. But after going through so many things, I am completely relieved. After seeing my dad’s strength, I even feel that I am safer with my dad than in the special case team. I am really looking forward to Qiongqi If you come to trouble my dad, the only one who will probably suffer is Qiongqi.
Now that Lin Yingxue's driving skills are getting better and better, I'm not too worried. Sitting in the car, I couldn't help but think about what my dad said about the mother and son back then.
When I asked my dad at that time, he told me that the widow was the widow of a good friend of his. My dad just agreed to help his good friend take care of his wife and children. Of course, my old friend Dad also liked that kid who was about the same age as me. Although that kid looked dirty and didn't talk much, he was very filial to his mother, and he also liked my dad very much. Every time my dad asked me In the past, I could play with children.
The widow was not very old, but she did not remarry because of this. Instead, she supported the entire family and raised her children by herself. My father usually only helped with some heavy work and gave out some money to support them from time to time. , but later, because the child didn’t like the life here, the widow took the child and left, and she was never heard from again.
Hearing what my dad said at that time, besides lamenting that the old house was really our family's property, I also had doubts, because I felt that my dad didn't tell me the truth at all, but I did It's not easy to expose him, because maybe he knew that I would understand that what he told was a lie, but he still lied to me. Presumably, he had to keep the identity of the mother and son a secret from me.
But when my dad talked about the widow back then, his eyes were full of admiration. It could be seen that he really admired that person, but it was just appreciation, and there was no other emotion in it.
This return trip took another two days and one night. On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yingxue and I returned to the Imperial Capital Special Case Team. By the time we returned, everyone had already arrived at work, and of course there were There is one exception, and that is Yuan Hao.
Sure enough, it was pretty much what I thought. Yuan Hao was the person I felt was staring at me from behind that day. I didn’t expect that this person was so cunning. He secretly followed me back to my hometown and found out the secret my father had hidden based on clues. , it seems that I will have to be more careful in the future.
After Lin Yingxue stopped the car, Bai Qi and Bai Longfei had already stood aside waiting. Bai Longfei helped Lin Yingxue and I take out our luggage, and then looked at me inexplicably, which made me feel like he was smiling at me.
After Lin Yingxue got out of the car, she reported to Bai Qi, handed the car keys to Bai Qi, and then took her luggage back to her dormitory. During this period, she didn't say anything to me. She still looked cold, and clicked The car behind the car was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, jumping up and down, as if telling everyone that it was back.
When Bai Qi saw Lin Yingxue leaving, he smiled mischievously and said, "I told you to go home, so you took our special case team back home? Tell me honestly, did something happen to you?"
It's okay if I don't say it. When Bai Qi said this, I immediately became angry and said angrily: "You give the car key to someone like me who can't drive. How do you ask me to go back? Push the car back? Isn't it Xiaoxue?" She took pity on me and was willing to drive me back, otherwise I would have spent the New Year with her in the special case unit.”
"Ouch? You call me Xiaoxue so quickly? You still don't admit what happened to you? I didn't think Xiaoxue was pitiful to spend the New Year alone here, so I gave you this first-come-first-served opportunity. Why am I still angry if you don't thank me? "
Bai Qi usually looks kind and serious, but I didn't expect him to have such a rough side. I didn't bother to say anything to him, so I asked directly: "What is the content of Qiongqi's delivery this time?"
After hearing what I said, Bai Qi retracted his crooked smile, frowned and said, "Come to my office with me. The things are right there."
With that said, Bai Qi took the lead and walked towards the office, and I followed him while chatting with Bai Longfei. However, although I was chatting with Bai Longfei, I recalled in my mind what I had done before I came. Dad said what Lin Yingxue said to me behind his back.
"Although I can rest assured about Bai Qi, and I have always had a good relationship with him back then, but after so many years, there is no guarantee that he will have any problems. In short, don't trust him too much, and be careful about everything. If you find out If you have any questions about things that are difficult for Bai Qi to solve or distinguish, just call me quietly."
Although I always feel that my dad’s words are a bit suspicious. After all, I have worked with Bai Qi for such a long time. I have always respected this person and helped me in everything, but I have to go with what my dad said. Pay attention, after all, it is better to be careful in everything, and those closest to you are often the ones who can betray you.
When we arrived at Bai Qi's office, Bai Qi closed the door directly, and then said with a smile: "It's better to be careful. After all, there is a traitor in the special case team now. It is better for us to close the door and say some things."
With that said, Bai Qi returned to his desk, opened the cabinet door with the key, and took out a package similar to a shoe box. Seeing a box of this size, I just felt very familiar. After all, Whenever a delivery like this comes in a box, something happens.
I looked at the box curiously and said doubtfully: "No, the express delivery must be closed these days, right? How did this thing get sent?"
Bai Qi said helplessly: "No one sent it. This thing appeared directly at the door of the special case team's guard room. I have seen the surveillance video. The person who came to deliver the box should be that Titan!"
I asked how this courier was sent. It turned out that it was the Titan who personally sent it. But since Titan is in the Imperial Capital, it means that Qiongqi is also in the Imperial Capital! This time, will Qiongqi come to play with me in person
With a lot of questions, I immediately stepped forward and picked up the package and was about to open it to see the contents. However, Bai Qi suddenly seemed to have remembered something important and said with a smile: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you." Good news for you.”
"What good news?"
Bai Longfei seemed to know about this matter. Hearing what Bai Qi said, he immediately started laughing too. Bai Qi smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you know why Yuan Hao didn't report it?"
Speaking of Yuan Hao's whereabouts, I originally wanted to tell Bai Qi about it, so I nodded and said, "Of course I know. He is spying on my dad now. Why, does Uncle Bai already know about this?"
"Haha, I didn't know it at first, but after I received a call from the Chongzhou City Public Security Bureau last night, I found out that he went to Chongzhou City, and his purpose must be your father, but don't worry, he is now I guess I don’t have time to monitor your dad anymore.”
"Why?" I asked curiously.
"Because people from the Chongzhou City Public Security Bureau told me that Yuan Hao seemed to be following someone on a mountain last night. He accidentally rolled down the mountain and suffered a comminuted fracture of his left leg. It is estimated that he will not be discharged from the hospital in the short term!"
