Lu Hui slumped lazily on the sofa, his legs stretched out on a low stool, and he half-closed his eyes to watch TV. The figures of lions and giraffes are swaying on the screen, and the animal world is always a program that you can never get tired of watching.

The sound of the key turning sounded, and Ji Fanyang opened the door and walked in with a serious expression: "Zu Lu, do you still remember Xi Junhong?"

"Master Xi, how could I forget." Lu Hui threw a popcorn into his mouth, crunching like a big squirrel.

Ji Fanyang said while changing his shoes, "He's dead."

"He's dead..." Lu Hui shifted his gaze from the lion to Ji Fanyang, "How did he die?"

"Mountain torrent." Ji Fanyang said, "He did it to save a little girl."

"Has the little girl been rescued?" Lu Hui asked.

Ji Fanyang shook his head: "No."

Lu Hui put the popcorn bucket on the coffee table, and turned his gaze back to the TV: "What do you think of Rao Feifei?"

"She didn't go to work." Ji Fanyang replied, sitting next to Lu Hui, "Do you want to visit her?"

"No." Lu Hui refused. He tore open a bag of potato chips, "I'm curious how the previous bet was settled."

"Lu Hui." Ji Fanyang frowned slightly, "You don't like yogurt-flavored potato chips."

Lu Hui stared blankly at the potato chips in his hand, then raised his hand and handed it to Ji Fanyang: "Then why are you buying this flavor?"

"I mean." Ji Fanyang put the potato chips on the coffee table, "You don't need to hide your emotions."

"What emotions should I have? Yelling, crying?" Lu Hui hugged the popcorn bucket again and leaned against the back of the sofa, "If Rao Feifei liked Xi Junhong because he died, it would be too stupid."

"If you want to know the outcome of the bet, go and see Feifei." Ji Fanyang said, "I remember you bet two hundred dollars."

"You also bet two hundred." Lu Hui raised his eyelids, "You go."

"I'm not short of these two hundred yuan, but you are." Ji Fanyang said.

Lu Hui was silent for a while, then picked up the remote control to turn off the TV: "You come with me."

Ji Fanyang gently raised the corners of his lips: "Yes."

Lu Hui put on his coat, and the freshly washed coat exuded the fragrance of washing powder. Ji Fanyang picked up the phone and handed it to him, and the two walked out of the room together.

Standing in front of the elevator door, Lu Hui asked, "How is the case investigation going?"

"What did you remember?" Ji Fanyang asked back.

"We communicated through that phone." Lu Hui said, "Someone brought us food."

Lu Hui said it lightly, but his dream was far from this.

[A dagger was handed over from a long window on the iron gate, Wang Yinyin scrambled and scrambled to snatch the dagger and pointed it at him, with a distorted smile on her dirty face: "I can't die, I can't die! "]

[He picked up the receiver and ordered indifferently through the voice changer: "Kill her."]

["I know you're a policeman." Wang Yinyin held the dagger tremblingly, "You can't kill, but I can."]

"The elevator is here." Ji Fanyang said, "The second team said they haven't found any more clues yet."

Lu Hui and Ji Fanyang walked into the elevator room and pressed the button for the first floor.

"I hope you don't think about it." Ji Fanyang said, his brown eyes reflected the dim light, warm as candles, "You shouldn't be the one haunted by nightmares."

"I killed people, Ji Fanyang." Lu Hui said, "Whether it was coercion or spontaneously, I killed people."

"You killed two people." Ji Fanyang said, "Why do you only have a grudge against Wang Yinyin?"

"I don't know, just ask me about my memory." The elevator door opened, Lu Hui walked out of the elevator room, and Ji Fanyang followed behind him.

The two got into the car one after the other, and Ji Fanyang sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

"Did you call Rao Feifei?" Lu Hui asked.

Ji Fanyang shook his head: "No."

"I can't comfort people." Lu Hui fastened his seat belt, "Don't expect me to comfort her."

"So I'll go with you." Ji Fanyang glanced at him, "In case you make her mad."

"I'll try my best." Lu Hui looked at the forest belt passing by outside the car window, "I think of my sister."

"Huh?" Ji Fanyang made an upward single tone.

Lu Hui narrowed his eyes: "I probably killed Wang Yinyin because of my sister."

"... That's why you don't want your sister to know that you're still alive?" Ji Fanyang asked.

"It's possible." Lu Hui nodded, row after row of roadside trees retreated rapidly, his quiet eyes were empty and indifferent.

"We're almost there." Ji Fanyang stepped on the brakes, the car stopped at the gate of a well-secured community, he leaned out the window, "Hello, I'm looking for Rao Feifei, Miss Rao."

"Please show your ID." The security guard pointed to the camera, "Look here."

Ji Fanyang did as he did, and Lu Hui also took out his ID card. Five minutes later, they drove into the community.

The car stopped in front of the small courtyard of the single-family villa. When Ji Fanyang got out of the car, Lu Hui sighed, "Rao Feifei is really a rich lady."

"Is your sister not bad?" Ji Fanyang rolled his eyes, interrupting Lu Hui's feigned fuss.

A middle-aged woman came out of the yard: "Hello, I am Mr. Rao's housekeeper."

"I'm Rao Feifei's colleague." Ji Fanyang said, "I'm here to talk to Feifei about something."

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Lu, right?" the housekeeper asked.

Lu Hui nodded.

"Come in with me," said the butler.

Ji Fanyang and Lu Hui followed the butler into the villa and went up to the second floor. The butler raised his hand to signal, and Lu Hui knocked on the door: "Rao Feifei?"

I heard footsteps in the room, and the door opened, revealing Rao Feifei's haggard face: "Group Lu."

"Can I go in?" Lu Hui was blunt.

Rao Feifei took a step back to get out of the way, Lu Hui and Ji Fanyang walked in, and the door closed.

"Xi Junhong is dead." Lu Hui cut to the chase, "What do you think?"

"... Team Lu cares about you very much." Ji Fanyang smoothed things over to make the atmosphere less awkward, "Feifei, you know his temper."

Rao Feifei rubbed her eyes and sat on the bed: "I don't know what to do..."

"It's not your fault." Lu Hui said, "I asked him to join the team to work together, and I took him to handle the case. I..."

"Then you were seriously injured, so he went to be a volunteer." Rao Feifei said, the girl looked up into Lu Hui's eyes, "He wanted to be a good person, but you changed him."

"You are the person I admire the most, Lu Zu." Rao Feifei said, "You have changed so many people in your way, Xi Junhong, a selfish ghost, will give up his life for a little girl one day." The girl cried Laugh, "I appreciate you more than ever."

Ji Fanyang handed over a pack of tissues, and Lu Hui stood there silently.

"Uncle Xi and Auntie Xi will also be very proud, their son is a hero." Feifei Rao said.

Lu Hui said with difficulty: "Then do you like him?"

"I like heroes." Rao Feifei sniffed and said, "But he is not my hero."

Lu Hui exhaled and patted Rao Feifei on the shoulder: "My good girl."
