Chapter 132 Not Allowed
Luo Xun and Lin Wenjue did not go to the toilet, but walked outside the restaurant.
"Xiao Xia was on sick leave, and you just happened to run into something wrong in the prison? Don't think I didn't know that you used your annual leave so Lao Chang let you go."
Luo Xun rolled his eyes: "Lin Wenjue, can't you find a wife? You stare at me every day, you are a pervert."
"Yeah, I am a pervert, so what ?"
Lin Wenjue shook his head, looking smug.
He paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and his expression became serious for a second: "Is there any progress in your sister's case? Lao Luo, we have an agreement beforehand. You can't hide this case from me and act impulsively!"
The two looked at each other, and Luo Xun was the first to give in: "Okay, okay, okay, I really can't hide anything from you."
Lin Wenjue kicked him: "You are taking the initiative again!"
Luo Xun rubbed his legs, looking aggrieved.
Defeated again by Lin Wenjue's cold face, he took out a cigarette case and gave Lin Wenjue a cigarette, then lit one for himself: "Chi Xia's background is not simple, you know this, right?"
"Yeah." Lin Wenjue frowned: "Why? Don't tell me Xiaoxia is involved in this matter."
"It's a bit complicated to explain. To put it simply, Chi Xia's adoptive parents died in a fire five years ago. She suspected that the fire was man-made. Moreover, Lao Lin, the deceased in the prison, was somehow involved with Chi Xia's adoptive parents. The most important point is that Chi Xia had seen him before she reported to the team, but the prisoner committed suicide two days later."
Lin Wenjue's face became serious: "This has something to do with your sister's case..."
Luo Xun continued: "The weirdest thing is that my sister died ten years ago. We know this very well, right?"
“Yeah.” Lin Wenjue took a puff of his cigarette: “Don’t keep me in suspense, tell me if it’s okay!”
"When Chi Xia was investigating the death of her adoptive parents, she found out that on the day her adoptive father died five years ago, she received a bouquet of flowers, and that bouquet of flowers was sent in the name of my sister."
After Luo Xun finished speaking, he looked at Lin Wenjue with a serious gaze.
"How is that possible!"
Lin Wenjue was shocked and raised his voice several tones, and soon passers-by looked over.
He quickly lowered his voice: "Your sister was murdered ten years ago. How could she have sent flowers to someone five years ago!"
"Yeah, that's impossible, so someone is deliberately tying me and Chi Xia together."
Luo Xun said, putting his hand on Lin Wenjue's shoulder: "Old Lin, I think this is a good thing. At least, I have a reason to investigate."
Lin Wenjue looked at him and took the last puff of his cigarette: "Okay, if you need any help, just ask."
Luo Xun smiled: "Yeah."
Lin Wenjue pulled the corner of his mouth and glared at him: "Chi Xia is the same, both of you are the same! Do not act without permission!"
"good."
They both crushed the cigarette butts and threw them into the trash can.
After the dinner, when Chi Xia wanted to secretly pay the bill, he found out that Luo Xun had already paid for it.
In order to take care of Chi Xia, the dinner location was chosen to be close to her home. After everyone left, Chi Xia walked back slowly.
Influenced by Cao Bin and Juanmao, she ate particularly full at this meal.
After walking for a while, she saw a fruit stall and suddenly stopped.
Although he hadn't made up his mind yet, he had already moved over and picked up a pomegranate.
You probably won’t be able to buy fresh persimmons at this time.
Chi Xia picked two pomegranates, paid the money, and walked towards the bar.
She stood in the distance and thought for a while before she mustered up the courage to enter the bar. When she didn't see Qu Bai, she was relieved instead.
Uncle Gen was the first to see her and came over with a smile: "Look at me, I didn't even look at you, Chi..."
Chi Xia saw his lip shape and quickly interrupted him: "Uncle Gen, if you call me police officer, I will leave."
Uncle Gen was stunned and laughed: "Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia."
Chi Xia then smiled and looked around: "Uncle Gen, isn't Qu Bai here?"
"Not yet."
Uncle Gen grumbled, "I don't know what happened yesterday. I came back from a heavy rain and I wasn't in a good mood. The bar wasn't open. I guess I was feeling unwell today."
Chi Xia paused and pursed her lips.
There was one more person in the bar today, also busy at the counter, and he looked about the same age as Uncle Gen.
Uncle Gen introduced her with a smile: "My wife, I have to go out for a few days, she came to the bar to help."
Chi Xia called her auntie, and the woman smiled at her shyly and gently: "You are so beautiful, girl."
Chi Xia smiled and narrowed her eyes: "You are not bad either."
Uncle Gen brought up a box and said mysteriously, "Xiao Xia, open it and take a look."
Chi Xia opened the small drawer of the box out of curiosity and saw it was full of lychee candies.
Aunt Gen looked over and suddenly realized: "Last time, Xiaobai came to ask me where I bought the candy. I was wondering, he never eats candy. It turns out that he bought it for the little girl."
Chi Xia felt a slight pain in her throat.
"I like lychee candy." She took one and peeled it open: "It's delicious."
"I dare not give you all of it." Uncle Gen said with a smile, "He would scold me if he knew."
Chi Xia took two more and smiled, "Uncle Gen, put them back quickly, lest he gets angry."
Uncle Gen put the candy back and pointed to the milk box outside: "There's something in there, remember to take it."
"good."
Chi Xia responded: "Uncle Gen, I have given the information you gave me to my friends. Everyone is helping you find it. I will tell you if there is any clue."
Uncle Gen and Aunt Gen's eyes were filled with tears, and they said one after another: "Okay, thank you for troubling me."
"Nothing to bother with."
Chi Xia jumped down from the stool: "Uncle Gen, Auntie, I have to go back, you guys are busy, you don't have to see me off."
Uncle Gen wanted to send it off, but she refused. He had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.
Chi Xia went out, opened the milk box, and saw the thermos inside and an exquisite small box next to it.
She opened it and saw two lychee candies and two chocolates in the box .
Chi Xia's body trembled slightly, and she was stunned for a long time. She gritted her teeth and stood there for a long time.
In the end, she took the lychee candy and the thermos, left the chocolate, and put the two pomegranates she bought in.
Late at night, Qu Bai appeared here. He opened the milk box and saw two pomegranates. A smile appeared on his pale and weak face.
When he took out the pomegranate and saw the two chocolates behind it, he was stunned just like Chi Xia.
About two minutes later, in the empty and dim night, Qu Bai laughed out loud. His voice was so joyful that it seemed as if all the pain that the test had brought him disappeared in that instant.
At the same time, Chi Xia was asleep and the dream came unexpectedly.
Just repeating a few words over and over again.
"Little fox, if there are some words that cannot be said, we can use chocolate instead."
“I hate chocolate.”
"Well, so you left it to me, which means you know what I mean, understand? This is our secret. If we do the opposite, they won't suspect us."
"good."
Chi Xia woke up for the first time after drinking the sleeping soup.
She sat up in the dark room. It was quiet and silent except for the sound of the leaves rustling in the breeze outside the window.
She exhaled slowly, took out her cell phone, found Qu Bai's name, and opened the chat interface.
After a long while, she sniffed and typed three words: "Don't die."
The other end responded to her almost immediately.
"good."
Chi Xia stared at the word and laughed softly, then she deleted the message record.
She never told anyone that she always felt that she was not grateful for what she had.
Even though she had a group of senior sisters and people like them who gave her the same warmth as home after her adoptive parents passed away , there was always an empty place in her heart.
At this moment, even though her memories were still fragmented and she still had only a vague understanding of where she came from and her past, this one word "good" suddenly gave her a real sense of reliance.
If the encounter in the dark alley was an accident, then she was already suspicious about the candy in the hospital.
Lychee candy is a secret, a secret that only exists in her memory, and it is also the first memory that she recalls.
No one would know except her and the person in her memory.
From the very beginning, Chi Xia knew that their meeting was not accidental.
