Chapter 78 Blood Rose
After returning to the city from Shi Tianyi's place, Chi Xia saw men and women on the street holding flowers in their hands. She looked at the calendar and found that today was May 20th.
The photo of Luo Lingfei that Shi Tianyi gave her made her feel a little uncomfortable. She thought about it over and over again but couldn't come up with any conclusion, so she simply went out again and strolled towards the bar.
Qu Bai was still not in the bar, but when Chi Xia walked to the door, he saw Uncle Gen putting the thermos into the milk box.
"Uncle Gen." Chi Xia took two quick steps and called him.
Uncle Gen turned around and saw her, and immediately laughed: "Ms. Chi Xia, you got off work early today."
"Just call me Chi Xia." Chi Xia walked over and said, "Isn't Qu Bai in the bar?"
"He's on a business trip these two days." Uncle Gen handed her the thermos with a smile: "That's perfect, I'll give it to you directly. Ah... and this..."
Uncle Gen took out a few more candies from his pocket: "He said you like it. This one isn't lychee flavored, but it's delicious too. Take it and have it."
Chi Xia looked at the candy in his palm and peeled one immediately : "Uncle Gen, I heard from Qu Bai that your child..."
When talking about his son, bitterness flashed across Uncle Gen's eyes. He forced a smile and said, "He went missing when he was four years old. I've been looking for him for more than 20 years, but I don't know if he's still alive..."
"Did you call the police?" Chi Xia asked him.
"It's reported." Uncle Gen sighed: "My wife and I searched all the way and finally found Dongzhou, but there was no clue. Xiaobai is a kind-hearted child and let me work here..."
He wiped his face and smiled bitterly: "We are old and can't walk anymore..."
"We'll find it eventually." Chi Xia finished taking the candy from his palm and said, "Give me the relevant information later, and I'll keep an eye out for you."
Uncle Gen's eyes lit up: "Oh, okay, thank you for your help. If there is any clue, I...I...I will kowtow to you!"
Seeing him like this, Chi Xia sighed secretly and quickly supported him: "Why do you need all this? I can't drink this soup for nothing, and I can't eat this sugar for nothing. Okay, go in quickly, I'll go back."
Although he hadn't done anything to help, Uncle Gen seemed to have new hope, and his whole body exuded a sense of momentum: "Wait a minute, wait for me."
He went in and out quickly, holding a stack of documents in his hand: "I carry all this information with me, Officer Chi... Officer Chi, I'm really sorry to bother you."
It turned out to be his child's information. Chi Xia smiled and took the thing over: "Don't worry, I will do my best."
Uncle Gen didn't know what to say, he just rummaged in his pocket and took out a few more candies: "Here, here are some candies. My son likes candies, too."
Chi Xia accepted it and walked back with the information.
The thick stack of information in their hands must have been carefully organized and produced by them.
What about her, and her biological parents? Are they also running all over the country, ready at all times, and not missing any chance to find her, just like Uncle Gen was looking for his own child?
As she was thinking this, a little girl suddenly came over with a basket of flowers in her hand and asked her, "Sister, today is 520, buy yourself a bunch of flowers?"
Seeing Chi Xia frown, the experienced child immediately added: "Whether it is 520 or not, you can buy flowers to please yourself."
Chi Xia went to look at the flowers in the basket and saw pink roses among the roses of several colors. Thinking of Luo Lingfei, she picked out a few pink ones and paid for them.
The little girl was happy and gave her a red one as a gift.
Chi Xia walked home while observing the pink rose in her hand. What did the pink rose mean in Luo Lingfei's case? Or, what did the pink rose mean to the murderer? Is there any inevitable connection between the rose and the mirror?
Just as she was walking across the zebra crossing carrying the thermos and holding the flowers, Luo Xun's figure was hidden in the shadows of the alley. His eyes followed Chi Xia all the time, and he saw the pink rose in Chi Xia's hand.
Meeting Chi Xia was an accident.
He had just returned from Xiao Fang's place and had a rare free evening, so he ran around the police station. Just as he was about to go back, he saw Chi Xia.
He almost didn't recognize Chi Xia, who was completely different from usual.
At first, it was that figure that attracted his attention, and then he realized that he seemed to know that person. Later he found out that it was Chi Xia.
How can there be no ghost? It would be strange if there is no ghost.
Only when Chi Xia's figure disappeared around the corner did Luo Xun run back, sweating all over. This time he did not go back to the police station, but to his small single room of more than 50 square meters.
But when Luo Xun walked to the door, he stood there in a daze as if he was hit by something.
In just a moment, defenses suddenly rose and breathing suddenly became tight.
There was a bouquet of roses at his door.
Pink roses with blood on them, and among these pink roses there is also a red one.
Luo Xun took a deep breath, suppressing his rapid breathing. His face was cold, and there seemed to be a thick layer of ice in his eyes. He took out a pair of gloves from his pocket.
After putting on gloves, he squatted down to examine the flowers.
The blood on the pink rose was not human blood. Luo Xun guessed that it should be animal blood.
He sat down at the doorstep and carefully put away the flowers. When his fingers touched the red rose, he was suddenly stunned.
Chi Xia! She was holding the same bouquet of flowers just now!
So, were the pink roses in her hand also covered in blood like the flowers in front of him?
A huge amount of anger and curiosity surged in Luo Xun's body . His chest heaved violently a few times. Then he picked up the bouquet of flowers, went downstairs, and called Chi Xia.
When Chi Xia received Luo Xun's call, she thought some crime had happened late at night, but he only said one sentence: "Chi Xia, come out, I'm in the alley where we met last time."
Chi Xia was about to ask which alley it was when he hung up the phone. She stood there and thought for a while before she realized that the only alley they had in common was probably the time she met Qu Bai.
Before leaving, she was still thinking, today was strange, she got two clues at once, one of which was related to Luo Xun, and now Luo Xun took the initiative to contact her again, could it be because of Tu Guoan’s matter?
Chi Xia quickened her pace and soon approached the alley. Just as she was about to call Luo Xun, she saw someone coming out of the shadows and looking at her with a stern and indifferent look.
It was Luo Xun.
In his hand, he was holding a bouquet of flowers.
Chi Xia saw the red dots on the pink roses and the eye-catching red rose.
The face of the little girl selling flowers and the bouquet of flowers she took home suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Chi Xia." Luo Xun spoke, his voice cold and heavy. He stared into Chi Xia's eyes: "Who are you?"
Chi Xia remained silent, his eyes still on the bouquet of flowers.
"I saw you just now." Luo Xun raised the flowers in his hand: "I saw you holding the same bouquet of flowers."
"What about this one?" Chi Xia took a deep breath: "Where did it come from?"
"In front of my house." Luo Xun smiled grimly: "What a coincidence."
Chi Xia looked at him, and their eyes met. Chi Xia felt the anger and restraint in those eyes.
She exhaled softly: "Captain Luo, you are very angry now, aren't you?"
The corners of Luo Xun's eyes turned red, and he just stared at her without saying a word. The only sound in the air seemed to be his heavy breathing.
Chi Xia sighed softly, and she walked into the alley beside her and called out, "Captain Luo, come in, I'll tell you who I am."
