Edith seemed to have guessed that Lin Xichen would be absent today, she smiled at Cheng Yu, "Morning, is this your lunch?"

"No, this is..." After Cheng Yu took an overdose of inhibitors, he became hungry very easily, and his three meals often turned into five or six meals. This was his snack around ten o'clock in the morning, and his eating habits were still Chinese. Cheng Yu He won't eat those cold things at noon.

"Don't tell me I'm so busy today that I don't even have time for lunch," Cheng Yu smiled, "Is work so stressful?"

"No," Edith was a little embarrassed, she touched the tip of her nose and said something else, "Yes, here in Augustus...we are indeed a relatively large community, but today we only need to visit a few families, you You can put the bread bag at home for a while.”

Cheng Yu was puzzled.

This Omega didn't hear the words of this elite Beta, the words hidden in the words, he held up the bag and said that this is not troublesome, it's just a walk, a little thing Os are not so fragile.

And it wasn't until exactly ten o'clock in the morning that he finally knew what 'put the bag back' meant.

·

"I hope you don't mind," the woman handed over the black tea. "It's from Darjeeling. Although it's just in stock, my husband likes it very much. I miss you..."

Her voice seemed to disappear a little bit when it fell on Cheng Yu, and she raised her voice again after seeing Edith, "Interrogators and sheriffs have heavy tasks, this drink should be very suitable for you."

Cheng Yu didn't know why drinking tea had something to do with their work.

But Edith, who was beside her, had already chatted with the other party about the taste of tea, storage conditions, etc., and Cheng Yu couldn't get in the way. He could only look around at the decorations in the room. Today The first person they visited was the young Omega lady, whose home looked like it had an antique design.

"Yes, isn't it to your liking?"

Phoenix is ​​a young and beautiful Omega. She has blond hair and big brown eyes. She wears a robe. When she sits opposite her, she looks like the big beautiful doll Cheng Yu saw in the glass window when she was a child.

"No, no," Cheng Yu didn't come here for tea, he was eager to ask about the case, so he picked up a topic at random, "Your house looks nice, with this kind of furniture and your outfit, So your family likes this kind of ancient decoration to have those bits and pieces of pearls?"

Cheng Yu said this because their family was the first to report the case in the case file. Ms. Phoenix said that a seawater pearl was lost in her home.

"Oh!"

The two ladies in the room spoke at the same time. Edith didn't expect Cheng Yu to ask so quickly, and Phoenix was flustered by Cheng Yu's directness. This Omega, who was talking about black tea just now, shut up. A moment later she forced a distant but polite smile.

"In fact, I have found that pearl."

"What?" Cheng Yu was surprised. It was not written in the file like this. Edith couldn't stop it. The hostess got up, and the other party took out a small box from a drawer in the compartment, which contained a string of pearl necklaces. .

Even if Cheng Yu didn't understand it, he knew it was worth a lot.

The pearl exudes a charming luster, but the other party just put this string of jewelry downstairs, in a drawer that has no confidentiality and security and should not store jewelry, as if it was specially prepared, and she brought it to him. The two of them made a deal.

"At that time, the necklace broke and the beads fell on the floor. It was a gift from my husband. I was very scared when I thought that it would not be restored. I was very nervous at that time, so I told a little lie when Mr. Duff came to the door."

Her acting skills are far worse than Cheng Yu's. As the assistant of the temporary sheriff in the region of Augustus——Cheng Yu opened his mouth and then closed it, and finally he nodded and said, "Yes," Edith seemed a little surprised Yi, Cheng Yu nodded, "You found out in January, Chief Duff passed away in April, now it's almost June..."

The hostess found the steps immediately, and she quickly picked up the topic, "Yes, it was winter, and there were many things...carpets, fireplaces, sofas, campfires, etc." Phoenix covered his mouth, "We invited someone to come here in April I cleaned it once, so I found it."

"The sheriff had just left at that time, so it's normal for you to forget to clear the case," Edith finally went online, and she and Cheng Yu exchanged a look. When he left Phoenix's house, Cheng Yu muttered a little.

"Silly woman."

Edith held her forehead, "After all, she just moved here."

Cheng Yu sighed, "Forget it, what about the next family?"

However, the situation of one family is worse than that of the other family, as if he got a bad breath or the little elf who likes to hide other people's treasures found out with his conscience. Cheng Yu and the others were not allowed in.

The conservative and staid Omega stood on the steps, looking at Cheng Yu with disgust, "Is that a bite belt? I thought our new sheriff would be a sensible boy." .”

After he finished speaking, he closed the door without Edith even having a chance to speak.

"He didn't mean it, Mr. Good just..."

Cheng Yu was still wandering around with his morning tea and meals. He had worn the anti-bite belt for almost 20 years. Cheng Yu had never heard anything. He waved his hand, why should he care about such a small matter.

They stopped on the small bridge, but during the rest, Cheng Yu leaned against the railing and asked, "Yesterday when you spoke, you said it was a child."

"Just possible."

Cheng Yu turned his head and glared at Edith, "Come on, you guys must have the answer in your heart after looking into this matter for almost half a year. You are busy with this kind of thing all day long, and you can guess it by yourself. You are a child, right? .”

Edith stood beside Cheng Yu, she took a deep breath, "Duff and I deduce that there is indeed a child in this matter, but they won't say it, you haven't integrated into this group, you haven't integrated into it Before……"

"Then why did someone say that before?"

Edith told the truth, "Because Mrs. Zhou said that his brooch was missing, Phoenix was the first to come here for less than a year. At that time, she didn't know some survival skills here..."

"What kind of skills, moving house also need skills?"

Cheng Yu seemed shocked by the word 'tips', and the Beta interrogator seemed to be having trouble opening her mouth. She tried to explain the relationship clearly at once.

"Living here, these O's or B's you see today, they are all in the same circle, these parents spend a lot of time, energy, and money on their children, when a child makes a mistake, the first For a while, we have to cover up this mistake."

Cheng Yu stared, and Edith added, "It's not to make up, it's to cover up. Most of these children's files are as clean as a piece of white paper when they reach adulthood, with only one word written on it, 'the best', They want to enter the best universities, receive the best education, and have the best life records."

Cheng Yu's white turned to the sky, and he was completely puzzled, "A child, he may not understand anything, but now he may just think that those jewels are beautiful or fun, or it may be a prank, and no one came out to stop or say He is wrong, if it causes a catastrophe..."

The words stopped, "He has caused a big disaster, hasn't he? That brooch is a big deal."

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Edith was thinking that if Cheng Yu felt that this small case conflicted too much with her previous cognition, she could finish the rest.

"Slow down," Omega stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth, and he sensed something was wrong, "You mean that Phoenix only said it after Mrs. Zhou said it. Although she was the earliest in the timeline, she was the first to speak. Is it the one surnamed Zhou?"

"Yes," Edith pretended not to look at the behavior of Cheng Yusuo's fingers, "Ms. Zhou is the leader in this area, the real top social class, when he said something was missing..."

"In order to please him, or to go along with the upper echelon, the new Phoenix was the first to speak, so if there is one, there will be two?"

Cheng Yu's speculation is bold and direct.

"You can also see that they are comforting the upper class. In ABO community activities, this is an unspoken situation, just like a dance party. If the hostess loses face, someone must help divert attention."

Cheng Yu looked shocked.

"I've been an omega for 26 fucking years and no one ever told me that!"

"So the one from the Zhou family just informed our sheriff and interrogator about this matter, hoping to keep the matter to a minimum." The interrogator obviously wanted Cheng Yu to understand the situation, "Shut up, Even if someone said it in the first place, they would have kept silent."

"Because we are outside the circle," Cheng Yu concluded, "how long have you been in office?"

"Last November," Edith said with embarrassment.

"Where's Duff?"

"He has been working there for ten years."

"Succeed, he has been working for ten years and he only revealed to you, 'he's just a child'!" Cheng Yu made an exaggerated gesture, "Even if we changed our bones and lurked in, no one said anything to us .”

Edith actually likes Cheng Yu's character. Most people would sneer at Cheng Yu after knowing this, but Cheng Yu didn't care at all. The other party was lying on the railing watching the fish swimming in the bottom, and he patted the railing hard. .

Omega has made a decision.

"Catch the thief first and capture the king first! Shoot the man first and shoot the horse! Whoever speaks first will seek out the one who speaks first. The economy at the top determines the foundation at the bottom!"

The corner of Edith's mouth twitched, and she suppressed a smile, "You want to meet the two most prestigious people in this area?"

"I thought you were the most prestigious person in this place. After all, you are the interrogator," Edith said clearly, and Cheng Yu leaned on the railing and frowned at the other party, "Catch them by surprise. I want to get this thing over quickly."

Edith pointed in the direction, "Full of passion and motivation?"

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes at her, "No, it's your damn place that makes my hair stand on end."

Before leaving, this Omega made a weird gesture to himself, "And all of this is wrong!"

While those two were working tirelessly for the missing property, the interim sheriff who was not present for the investigation today was chatting with his personal doctor.

"The situation isn't very good?" A grey-haired old man appeared on the holographic projection, who comforted Lin Xichen and said, "It's okay, I might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but the environment at home is good, the air is fresh, and the beauty... ..."

"I have no sense of taste."

Lin Xichen interrupted the other party's soliloquy. When he said this, the Alpha frowned, obviously knowing what was going on with his body, "Among the veterans, it is possible for a single problem to cause abnormal facial features. How big is sex?"

"You have passed the mental test, you..."

"Is PTSD likely to be high?"

The doctor was stunned for a long time, as if he had forgotten how to speak, and it took him a long time to realize, "Wait, wait for me to look for information, if necessary, I will come to serve, you wait..."

Hearing the old man's movements, Lin Xichen's expression became more and more serious.
