Ninth Symphony

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and a few rays of clear light are faintly sprinkled on the sky, which envelopes the whole house under the background of the dim yellow street lamps that are not too bright, revealing a bit of indescribable tranquility and subtle sense of disharmony, which makes people feel uncomfortable. It doesn't look very comfortable at first glance.

Xi Yin still can't tell what made him feel uncomfortable for the time being, he just felt like chewing sand between his teeth when he looked at the house, and his teeth were grinding and grinding, and half of his face was a little sour.

"What's wrong?" Du Nian noticed that something was wrong with him, turned his head to look at him and asked.

Xi Yin didn't answer him, took a deep breath to suppress the feeling of disobedience in his heart, walked to the door of this small two-story villa, and first looked inside through the window for a while.

The overall architectural style of this villa is similar to other houses in Iloca Town. It is gorgeous and retro, but due to long-term neglect, the outer wall has some signs of peeling off, and the color has faded a lot, showing a luxurious look. The aftermath of decline.

In terms of area, this house is not the largest in the town, but it is not small either. It is obviously [-] to [-] times larger than the ordinary houses I saw along the way, and the height also protrudes by at least two meters. In addition, the private territory occupied by the surrounding area is also larger. Weeds are overgrown in the small yard surrounded by low fence walls, and even cover the stone path extending from the yard to the main entrance. Xi Yin and Du Nian were walking on it just now. Grass came in.

Although there is obviously no way to compare it with the manor-like mansion of the Xi family in Xinfu, but it can be seen that when Xi Zhuoyun lived here before, his identity and status were not simple.

Then why did you leave?And for so many years, Xi Yin has never heard his father take the initiative to tell him that he used to live in Iloka. He would know that he accidentally heard the conversation between his father and Xi Le, and rushed in out of curiosity asked, but was dismissed by Xi Zhuoyun with a few words.

What is hidden here?

When Xi Yin realized it, he realized that he had been staring at the glass in a daze for a long time. The window was so dark that he couldn't even see a hair. He was afraid that it would be a bit abrupt to go in. However, now that his parents have passed away, Xi Le's whereabouts are unknown The house is basically his, and as the new owner, he doesn't need to look forward and backward if he wants to go in and "inspect".

So, Xi Yin gestured to Du Nian who was standing at the door: "Go in."

Du Nian seemed to be waiting for his words, so he smiled and beckoned Xi Yin to go over, then groped under the doorknob with his fingers for a while, and suddenly pushed hard, and a small door panel turned inward and closed to the left Get up, revealing the code disk underneath.

"If you want to go in, you have to open this first." After pressing it, Du Nian stepped aside to make room for Xi Yin, "If you don't unlock Uncle Yun's house and forcefully enter, no one can predict what will happen. What a horrible thing."

Xi Yin walked over and squatted down puzzled, and carefully observed the combination disk. It was not a modern electronic combination lock, but a disk similar to an old-fashioned dial-up telephone, but the numbers on it were only "1" to "7". , corresponding to the seven holes, and finally there is a confirmation key, which is arranged on the edge of the disc in the form of dividing 360 degrees into eight equal parts.

Xi Yin murmured in his heart. He knew that his father always liked to think about weird things, and he seemed to have a special liking for things like mechanisms and passwords, but he gave his family an old abandoned house with such equipment. device, is it really necessary?

Unless there is something valuable hidden in the house, but Xi Yin has no idea about it. He doesn't remember his father's habit of hiding "private money", and there is no need for it. The Xi family is not short of money at all.

So what else could he hide?Is it something illegal?Gun｜Ambition｜Drugs｜Marijuana｜Tablets? ?How could it be possible... After thinking about it, Xi Yin felt that his thinking was very divergent. Xi Zhuyun is indeed not very well-behaved, but he should not be able to do things that violate the law and discipline.

So why lock the broken door after all? !

...Xi Yin suddenly became irritable. He knew that he would get angry easily when he was nervous, so he couldn't hold it back. He stood up suddenly and asked Du Nian: "Have you been here many times, but you can't get in? You just asked me to open the door for you?"

Du Nian supported Xi Yin with his hand at the same time as he got up, for fear that he would suddenly feel dizzy, but as soon as his hand touched the person, he immediately answered the sentence, paused for a moment, and said: "Actually, it's hard for me to get in." It doesn't matter what you say, the things inside are Uncle Yun's and have nothing to do with me, I just want to confirm whether it is possible for Xi Le to stay here."

"Even if he comes, he doesn't know the password—" Xi Yin stopped suddenly when she said this, and waited for a few seconds before speaking again, but her voice was much softer: "Maybe he knows...but I don't. Du Officer, your wish has come to nothing."

"It doesn't matter." Du Nian really shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care, "I didn't expect too much, after all, even if you really know the password, you may not tell me."

"What do you mean by that?!" Xi Yin felt that he was sick, and he knew that what Du Nian said was very likely to happen, but it was hard for Xi Yin to accept that he showed his distrust of him so bluntly.

Seeing that he was angry, Du Nian walked up to him and stroked his head. Xi Yin's reaction was a step slow and he couldn't dodge the first time. The expression on his face became even more depressed. He heard Du Nian say: "Xi Yin, You know that family members of suspects in general investigations need to avoid suspicion, and I have made an exception this time, but proper suspicion is good for both of us."

"Could it be that I insisted on coming with you?" Xi Yin laughed angrily at him, his whole face turned a little strange red when he couldn't get angry, looking at it under the light at this time It's like being shy.

"Officer Du, if you treat me as a suspect's family member and always be on guard, then you don't have to let me come with you at the beginning. Even if I beg you, but based on past experience, it is useless to do so. You I don’t care at all, so I don’t worry about that happening.”

Xi Yin sneered, "Since this trouble can be saved, why do you have to make yourself uncomfortable? What's the point of us continuing to investigate with mutual distrust like this? Why don't we just separate and let you go after us?" Ji'yangguan said, I'm going to cross my "family search" single-plank bridge, so don't interfere with anyone else, okay?"

"Separate?" Du Nian looked at Xi Yin without panic, "Can you find Xi Le alone? You were willing to follow me at the time because I had clues in my hand, and this condition has not changed in any way now. You If you really want to find him, don't get angry anymore."

"I'm angry??" Xi Yin asked back, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and smiled: "You have seen all this, it's really boring. If you are willing to study the password for a while, you can leave it for yourself, I will go back first. "

"Xi Yin and so on," Du Nian said in the eyes of unknown meaning projected towards him, "Let's go together."

"You are a policeman, you have the final say." Xi Yin said seemingly without temper, but in fact, the person concerned knows best how much resentment he has in his heart.

The idea grew stronger and stronger that he alone, of all men, knew nothing.

Xi Yin's current mood has gradually changed from the depression and anger before leaving home to an indescribable and helpless self-mockery.

It was as if his state of mind opened up after leaving the door. Leaving the Xi family and Xin Fu eased the constraints he felt a lot, or maybe he had been struggling for too long and just reached a certain critical point, allowing him to look at things. The angle has changed slightly.

As long as he does his best, he just needs to do this.

The way back to the hotel was very quiet, not only because of the silence of Xi Yin and Du Nian, but also because the surrounding environment was completely quiet. One of the common sights in the small town - the street performers, all disappeared, not straight It seemed that they were the only two living creatures on the avenue.

Xi Yin walked a few more steps, then suddenly slowed down, and exchanged glances with Du Nian.

"Is it yours?" He asked in a low voice.

Du Nian curled his lips, his tone was relaxed and his eyes were sharp: "The atmosphere is so unfriendly, even my people are here to usurp the throne."

The corner of Xi Yin's mouth was lifted quickly, and he felt a kind of schadenfreude for a moment. His hand was already holding the handle of the folding knife hidden in his pocket, and he gently opened the safety buckle to unscrew the blade, making a posture of preparing for battle. .

But at this moment, Du Nian suddenly grabbed his wrist, and when the sound of "run" sounded, he had already pulled him for more than ten meters, and the movement behind him suddenly became noisy, mercilessly piercing the silence just now illusion.

Xi Yin glanced back while running, and found that there were at least five black figures coming out of nowhere, and they were chasing after them.

Could it be the same group from last time who chased him here?
