night.
The noise in the bar, the vibrating music, makes people feel eardrum pain, it seems to be another world of joy, alcohol, twisting crowd, presumptuousness.
You will forget a lot of things here, you will forget who you are, you will forget your work, and you will forget some of the troubles and pressures brought about by life. It is enough to let go here.
Zou Wanwan likes to come to these places to relax on Saturday nights, without bringing anyone she knows, to let herself go without wearing a mask.
She was wearing a hot short skirt and seductive black silk, twisting her body crazily on the dance floor.
It was getting late.
Zou Wanwan felt that it was almost time, so she put on her coat and walked out of the bar. She had a glass of wine today, and her face was a little red.
As soon as the cool wind blows on a June night, Zou Wanwan wraps her coat tightly and waits for a taxi.
Zou Wanwan knew that it would be dangerous to take a taxi alone at too late, so she had already escaped from the bar at 10:30, plus she had some self-protection ability, this was the case every week in the past, and nothing happened.
"Master, Xinyuan."
Zou Wanwan waited for a taxi and waved her. After the taxi stopped, she opened the back door and walked in with her small satchel.
The driver in front nodded, and the taxi drove steadily into the distance.
Zou Wanwan lowered her head and played with her mobile phone for a few minutes, raised her head from time to time to look at the scenery outside, and continued to lower her head when she found that it was the road she was familiar with.
After ten or twenty minutes, the car stopped.
"How much?"
Zou Wanwan put down her mobile phone and was looking for change in her satchel, but she didn't hear the driver's voice. She looked forward suspiciously, and the mist sprayed towards her face.
The moment she fell down, she saw the smile on the corner of the driver's mouth.
The weather is fine tonight, at least there is no continuous drizzle like the previous few days.
The sharp voices of men and women could not be heard, and they were humming an unknown and strange tune.
"Maria is not at home today, playing with a doll by the lake under the bridge, the doll's body is limp, its limbs and head are separated, hehehehehehehe..."
Zou Wanwan felt terrified that she was tied up with a rope. Her eyes were covered and her mouth was blocked. She couldn't see or speak. She could only listen to the movement of the outside world and feel the panic of her body being tied up. Listening to that weird tone, the body trembled uncontrollably.
The short summer skirt couldn't cover anything at all, and when a gust of wind blew, her legs felt chilly, and the feeling of being bound by the rope became clearer.
Zou Wanwan had a very bad premonition that she might fall here today. She wanted to struggle vigorously, but her whole body was limp and she had no strength at all.
"Do you know what you did wrong?"
The voice seemed to be pinching his throat, it was very thin, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to.
Before Zou Wanwan had time to think, she heard that voice and said another sentence.
"You don't have to recall what you did, anyway, your life is coming to an end, if you want to atone for your sins, go to the next life."
The severed head still maintained the horror before death.
The sound of the water stirred and reverberated in the silent night.
—
Su Xin was looking at the strange woman at the door of the house. Next to the woman was an acquaintance who was not an acquaintance. He was the captain of the criminal investigation team who was in charge of several cases related to her. They had talked more than once before.
"Miss Bai, this is Liao Qingjie, the person responsible for protecting you for a period of time."
"police?"
"No, I'm a non-staff member, you can also say it's off-site rescue, I will personally protect Miss Bai for your safety in the next period of time, I think you should need my presence, after all, the murderer doesn't know when will come Start with you."
"you can?"
Su Xin said something troublesome in her heart, but on the surface it was really hard to refuse. After all, according to her current situation, she should really need to find a blessing.
"There is no one better than me."
Su Xin stared at the captain of the criminal investigation next to him, and the captain nodded.
"Miss Bai, don't worry, her level is absolutely excellent."
It's not that there are no lesbians in the bureau, but those lesbians are really not enough compared to Liao Qingjie. For things like protecting important witnesses, monitoring from a distance may not be enough, and it is safer to protect them closely.
"good."
Su Xin was helpless. Originally, she planned to investigate these things alone, because one person's actions are more free. Although someone is monitoring him, now there is a personal monitoring person. There is not much freedom, and it is very inconvenient to carry out. Unless some kind of agreement is reached with the person in front of him.
The door was closed, and Su Xin asked the woman to sit on the sofa.
"You don't need to be so polite, just call me by my name, Bai Yan, I think you should have read my profile."
"Liao Qingjie, Qingqing, my dear, pure white."
"A nice name."
"Thanks."
She is a beautiful woman, but she has a very strong aura. Su Xin looked at his standing and sitting posture and the posture of holding water, she looked a bit like...a soldier.
"Have you ever been a soldier?"
"Observation is very keen."
"After all, the posture of your relatives is different from that of ordinary people, but you still look very young. If you have served in the army, you should not have reached the age of discharge."
"It's just a special soldier. He suffered a gunshot wound, so he bid farewell to his comrades."
Liao Qingjie took a sip of water, looked Su Xin up and down, and then glanced at the surrounding environment.
"You seem to be in good spirits, which is very different from the previous few days. What happened to make you feel at ease?"
There must be a reason for a sudden change in a person's attitude and image.
"I just understand some things. If you are a non-staff member, do you have the right to participate in those cases?"
"Of course."
"Can I join in too?"
"oh? "
"I'm trying to figure something out."
"decide as things go."
Liao Qingjie is not as quiet and elegant as its name makes people feel. Because she was a special soldier, she looks a little ruffian.
"From tomorrow, I will continue to go back to work in the museum, and you want to follow me?"
"Of course I said it's personal protection. What if you are killed on the way to work or on the way back from get off work? Never underestimate the mind of a perverted killer."
"good."
"On my own side, there's a thing that needs to be dealt with."
"What?"
"An ancient artifact I was responsible for restoring was stolen."
"This kind of thing should go to the police."
"But the antique has not been successfully restored, and there is no textual research value at present. I don't know the dynasty, and I don't know the author. It is not an authentic or imitated work of a famous artist. The museum has given up on the investigation of this thing. The police over there Probably won't be accepted."
To put it simply and crudely, it is a pair of unknown torn pieces of paper that have not been successfully restored. They have no value for sale or collection at all, and it is not worth spending a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to find them.
"So you want to find it yourself? How?"
"I don't know either."
Su Xin thought that this was really depressing, how to find such a huge crowd, let's go to the scene first to see if there are any clues.
"Which one can be my room?"
"I don't think so."
This is a simple 3 bedrooms and 1 living room. One is her bedroom, and the other was converted into a study by the original owner, where various books are placed, and there is a large workbench.
The other room is the utility room, it's so messy it's not easy to tidy up, and it doesn't have a bed.
"I can sleep on the couch."
"I will remember to bring you a thin quilt, but the weather is relatively hot now, there is no air conditioner in the living room, and there will be mosquitoes."
It is now the end of June, and the weather has been hot for a while, and the high temperature will not end until at least half of September.
And the most worrying thing in summer is not only the sweltering heat, but also the ubiquitous mosquitoes.
Biting a few packets on the skin is really unbearable.
"It's okay, this can be tolerated."
After all, the poisonous insects in the tropical jungle have already survived, so are you afraid of the high temperature and mosquitoes this summer
It's time for dinner now, Su Xin remembered some vegetables she bought at noon, she was going to eat next, and there were noodles in the kitchen.
"Would you like to have dinner together?"
Su Xin shook the noodles in her hand.
"OK."
Su Xin closed the kitchen door and looked at the pot, cooking oil, eggs, vegetables and noodles in front of her.
Fourteenth Lord, to be honest, I'm not sure. I haven't cooked for a long time, and the owner of this body doesn't have any cooking skills.
Bai Yan is a takeaway party. She either spends her days in museums or stays at home. Basically, she eats outside or orders takeaways. She doesn’t open fire at home, only occasionally when she’s too hungry. Only then did I cook some noodles and quick-frozen dumplings by myself.
Su Xin regretted looking at the noodles in her hand. Why didn't she buy dumplings in the supermarket? It's so convenient to cook. The taste is absolutely impossible to eat, and it might be quite good.
[I haven't lighted up my cooking skills, so I can't help you, but I can find some recipes for you as a reference.]
OK.
A video clip started to play in Su Xin's mind, which was a tutorial on how to cook noodles easily.
After reading it, Su Xin felt that she could do it.
Liao Qingjie walked around the house, looked at the balcony, then at the bedroom, and finally at the study. After waiting for half an hour, the door of the kitchen was finally opened.
Liao Qingjie just had some expectations, what would be delicious for dinner, after all, she stayed inside for half an hour, so she should be able to fry several dishes.
Then, Liao Qingjie saw two bowls of noodles brought out by Su Xin.
Just... that's it
The appearance of the noodles looks acceptable, which is a normal level.
Maybe it tastes delicious
Liao Qingjie washed her hands, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few noodles and put them in her mouth, her expression changed immediately.
