Chapter 120 Warm Porridge
"Zheng Lanshu's side..."
Just as Luo Xun opened his mouth, Lin Wenjue's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and looked at Luo Xun with a puzzled look: "Why are you calling me face to face?"
Luo Xun frowned, stood up suddenly and snatched the phone: "I left the phone to Chi Xia."
"If you want to stay, then stay. Why are you in such a hurry..."
As Lin Wenjue was speaking, he saw that he had already walked aside to answer the phone.
"It's me, Luo Xun." Luo Xun said immediately: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I thought Brother Lin and the others might be busy and didn't have time, so I asked someone to check the whereabouts of the makeup artist."
Chi Xia's voice came over, and Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you worrying about this instead of sleeping?"
"Because of dedication, Captain Luo."
She was still joking, but soon her smile faded: "Just as I thought, the makeup artist is also missing."
Luo Xun was silent for two seconds and lowered his voice: "Okay, I understand. You have a good rest and I will come back to talk to you."
He hung up the phone and turned around, only to see three pairs of eyes staring at him, which was a little creepy.
"What are you guys doing?"
Luo Xun rolled his eyes and returned to his seat: "Chi Xia said that the makeup artist is also missing."
Lin Wenjue and the others all stood up. Curly pulled out the photo of the makeup artist and said, "Boss, you said he's missing? This fairy?"
"Yeah." Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
After a moment of silence, Curly suddenly realized: "Boss, that means this fairy is also the third person like Pan Haili?"
Luo Xun nodded solemnly, bit the skin at the corner of his mouth and tore it, blood spread out, and he quickly sipped it.
Lin Wenjue thought for a moment, glanced at Luo Xun's solemn face and said, "Whatever happens, we will just fight back if the enemy comes."
Luo Xun looked at him, and they both chuckled at the same time.
He said, "Old Lin is right. Let's not scare ourselves. It's getting late. I have something else to do. You should go back and rest. You've been tired for two days. Tomorrow is the weekend. You should all get a good night's sleep and then work on the rest."
"Okay."
Lin Wenjue exhaled, "I have something to tell you. Old Chang learned about Zheng Lanshu's situation and probably went to the sanatorium with Captain Zhang. After all, the murderer in this case is in a special situation. I guess it will take some time for the court to hear this case."
"We all know that the mastermind is still at large."
Luo Xun said: "Zheng Lanshu is a pitiful person. Let them decide slowly. We just need to cooperate with each other. It's best for her to stay in a sanatorium. Okay, I'm leaving now. You guys should rest as well."
After he finished speaking, he took Chi Xia's cell phone, picked up a coat from his seat and went out.
Cao Bin and Juanmao were checking the makeup artist's information and did not notice that he took Chi Xia's phone, but Lin Wenjue saw it clearly.
He turned his head to look out the window. It was already dark. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Luo Xun returned to Chi Xia's house again.
While standing in the elevator, he suddenly remembered the night when they had a fight and formed the initial united front alliance. Late at night, he asked if he wanted her to be sent home. Chi Xia waved her hand nonchalantly and said that she was not used to being sent home.
As a result, within just a few days, he took only ten minutes to figure out the structure of her kitchen and discovered that she was not very good at cooking.
To sum it up: I can cook it, but not much; I can eat it, but it’s not tasty.
The elevator door opened, he smiled to himself, and knocked before entering.
After waiting for two minutes and seeing no one opening the door, he entered the password and went in.
There was a light on in the living room, which should have been left on by Chi Xia later. With the light, one could vaguely see that her bedroom door was ajar, but there was no light on inside.
Luo Xun tiptoed over, tilted his head to listen carefully, heard her steady and even breathing, and carefully closed the door.
…
When Chi Xia woke up, it was drizzling outside. She turned on the light, got out of bed, walked to the window to look at the rain outside, and when she was about to go out, she found that the bedroom door was closed tightly.
She opened the door and walked lightly into the living room, where she met Luo Xun who was sitting upright on the sofa.
Luo Xun straightened his back, spread his legs, put his hands on his knees, and did not move. He looked quite reserved.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Chi Xia leaned forward and called out, "Captain Luo?"
Luo Xun suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was empty for a moment, then he shook his head and stood up: "Awake? How do you feel?"
"Much more comfortable." Chi Xia turned on the light in the living room and turned off the floor lamp: "Captain Luo, did you fall asleep just now?"
Is this how Luo Xun sleeps? Chi Xia was a little shocked.
Luo Xun wiped his face and sobered up: "I was thinking about something, but I got confused and a little tired."
He went into the kitchen and came out soon: "I cooked some porridge, have a bowl to warm your stomach. Eat something light and nutritious for the next two days. Just make do with it for now so you can sleep later."
There was minced meat and green onions in the porridge, which tasted very tempting. Chi Xia licked her lips and said, "Captain Luo, aren't you hungry?"
Luo Xun sneered and went back into the kitchen. When he came out, he was holding a round takeaway box in his hand: "Captain Luo, I'm not indestructible. I'm so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back. I feel embarrassed to eat until your master wakes up."
The temperature was just right, Luo Xun tilted his head back and slurped up most of it, and his stomach finally felt a little more at ease.
Chi Xia also put some porridge into her mouth: "Next time you can fill your stomach first, but Captain Luo, I have a bowl at home, where did you find the takeaway box?"
"I just asked for it downstairs."
Luo Xun finished a large bowl of porridge at a jaw-dropping speed and threw the box into the trash can: "How dare I mess around with a girl's things."
Chi Xia gave him a thumbs up: "Captain Luo is highly conscious and polite."
Luo Xun sneered, wiped his mouth and wiped the table: "Hurry up and eat your food. I've got your phone back. Have a good rest tomorrow. I've also restored the kitchen to its original state for you. If you're okay, I'll go back too."
Chi Xia didn't say anything and quickly finished the porridge in the bowl: "Captain Luo, I didn't ask you to come back just to take care of me."
"What?" Luo Xun was tying a garbage bag and was about to pick it up when he left.
Chi Xia wiped his mouth and stood up, his smile fading a little: "Captain Luo, come here."
Luo Xun followed her to the place near the balcony. Her house was big and there were not many furniture. There was a wall made into a bookcase and a table in front of it with some books and materials on it. Luo Xun took a quick look and found that they were all related to criminal psychology.
Chi Xia squatted down, opened the bottom cabinet door, and pressed somewhere inside.
With a slight sound, the bookcase slid to both sides from the middle. Luo Xun's eyes tightened slightly, and he walked to the middle of the table and stood still.
The movement of the bookcase stopped, and Luo Xun saw a green curtain hanging on the empty wall in the middle, and he had a vague guess in his mind.
Chi Xia found the rope on one side of the curtain and pulled it, and the curtain slowly rose, revealing the intricate wall of the case below.
She opened another cabinet, which contained some daily necessities. She took out a box and placed it on the table.
The box was opened, and Luo Xun saw her take out a carving from it.
"Look at this." Chi Xia reached out and opened his palm.
When Luo Xun saw the soap-carved kitten, she recalled the record of her conversation with Tu Guoan that she had deliberately kept.
"You went to the prison to find Tu Guoan because of this." Luo Xun picked up the kitten and asked, "Is this carving related to the death of your adoptive parents?"
Chi Xia didn't answer, only said: "On the day of the murder, Tu Guoan actually went to my house first. He did a good job, and my mother wanted to leave her contact information so that she wouldn't contact him through the company next time, so that he could earn more money."
Luo Xun didn't say anything and just listened quietly .
Chi Xia continued, "He has very good handwriting with a fountain pen. My mother liked it very much and gave him a fountain pen. The kitten carving in your hand is a thank-you gift from Tu Guoan. The reason I know this is that my mother called me that night and told me."
"They were killed three days later. You probably kept this thing as a relic at first." Luo Xun looked at her.
Chi Xia nodded: "Until by chance, which now seems to be not accidental, I saw the files of the family extermination case and found that there were also such kitten carvings in that case. After investigation, it was determined that both were sent by Tu Guoan."
"So the first thing you do when you return to Dongzhou is to meet Tu Guoan."
"Um."
Chi Xia spread his hands and chuckled, with a hint of murderous intent in his weak voice: "Captain Luo, he died within two days. Isn't that interesting?"
