"Xiao Xu, help me find this person." Yu Sheng sat on the bed and sent a photo to Lian Xu with his mobile phone.

Lian Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw it.That photo showed a man in a hood and mask picking a lock.And the door he pried was the door of Yu Sheng's rental house.

Lian Xu recognized it at a glance, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious: "Third brother! This is—" He saw the time in the upper left corner of the photo again, "Last night??"

Yu Sheng nodded. "About nine o'clock, I heard movement outside the door. But he ran away before I opened the door."

"Run away?! How could this happen." Lian Xu pursed his lower lip tightly, his beautiful eyebrows were almost squeezed into two wavy lines, and asked himself, "Who could it be? A thief? Not quite Possibly. There shouldn’t be many thieves and robbers in this area. But if it wasn’t for thieves, could it be—” His eyes widened suddenly, “Could it be that they came here specifically for the third brother?? Could it be the second brother? On the other side of brother... No! It's too dangerous to go on like this! Third brother, you come back to sin with me immediately! There are complete security measures there, and we have a lot of people, even if second brother's people really come to the door, don't be afraid!"

"Where did you go?" Yu Sheng looked at him amusedly, "You're not afraid that he will punish you in the future by dumping the blame on Second Brother so casually?"

"He doesn't know..." Lian Xu muttered in a low voice, and then asked in a normal voice: "Third brother, don't you think it's not the second brother?"

"It's hard to say. It may be him, or it may not be him. But I think it's more likely that it's not him. If he wants to mess with me, he shouldn't be so sneaky." Yu Sheng thought for a while.

"But who else would he be?" Lian Xu looked quite worried, and guessed with his fists clenched: "Third brother has many enemies, is there anyone who wants to take revenge on you? I'd better take the past two years with us Check out all the people who have festivals! We must find this person!"

After hearing this, Yu Sheng shook his head lightly, "There's no need to make such a fuss. Instead of trying to find out by ourselves, it would be more convenient to wait for him to come to me again. Anyway, what is certain at the moment is that the other party is interested in me. In that case, let's Don't be afraid that he won't show up."

"Third brother...you can't use yourself as a bait—"

"I can't bear the fact that the child can't catch the wolf, and I can't bear that your third brother can't catch the bad guys. What do you think I can do?" Yu Sheng couldn't help but sneered.

But Lian Xu was still worried.After thinking for a moment, his expression became extremely tangled, hesitating to speak and peeking at Yu Sheng, as if what he said next made it difficult for him to say.

Yu Sheng looked at him amusedly, and asked, "Little friend, what are you thinking about?"

Lian Xu raised his eyes to look at him, he seemed very reluctant, but he seemed to feel that it was impossible not to say anything, so his voice was soft and awkward: "Third brother, if you really don't want to go back to sin, or go to Nie Qing's place... ...In any case, he should not harm third brother."

However, when Yu Sheng heard the word "Nie Qing", the smile disappeared from his face immediately.

"No. I'm not going."

After Yu Sheng finished answering, he realized his blunt attitude, so he pulled the corner of his mouth a little bit reluctantly, "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest, so I will stay here and not go anywhere. Besides, the two ends of the corridor here are I have installed surveillance cameras, and no matter who comes, they will leave a record. Don’t be afraid.”

Lian Xu was surprised by Yu Sheng's answer, and couldn't help asking: "Third brother, have you and Nie Qing had any conflicts?"

Yu Sheng didn't answer immediately, and smiled again after a second: "No. It's just that there are some differences, and we both need time and space to think about it."

"Oh..." Lian Xu sniffed, and suddenly said hopefully: "In this case, just let me stay! I will guard the third brother every step of the way, and I will definitely protect your safety!"

"Forget it, you can't even beat me, which one of us will protect the other?" Yu Sheng couldn't help teasing him.

Seeing that Lian Xu's face flushed immediately, he stammered and said, "I-I will work hard! Although I-I'm still a little short...but soon! Give me a while, and I will definitely be better than third brother Even more powerful! I will definitely protect you!"

"Okay." Yu Sheng nodded his head as if convinced, but then said: "Then wait until then, and you will come and guard me every step of the way. Let's go back today."

"Third Brother——"

"Be obedient." After Yu Sheng said this, he suddenly became happy, "It's not about stuffing red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. Why don't we push each other for several rounds every time? If you want to go back, just go back obediently. You should know, I won't let myself be busy until it's over."

"...Alright then." Although Lian Xu was still unwilling, he agreed anyway.

Yu Sheng coaxed and lied to send the awkward little golden retriever away, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He lay on the bed to rest for a while, took out his glasses and put them on, and sent a WeChat message to Musize on his mobile phone: Are you free to meet in the afternoon?Ask for something.

Muxi Ze came back immediately: time, place.

Four o'clock, rainbow.Yu Sheng replied to him.

good.After Mu Xize replied, he didn't send again for the rest of his life.

He set an alarm clock for himself at [-]:[-], called a car, and made an appointment to pick him up outside the community at [-]:[-] sharp.Then he casually ate some convenience food bought by Lian Xu, broke out four tablets of the medicine given by Su Ji and swallowed it with water, then lay back on the bed, pulled the quilt over his head, closed his eyes and tried hard to fall asleep.

I hope this medicine will work faster.

***

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Yu Sheng got off the car at the gate of the "famous" Tong □□rainbow in the city.

The storefront of this store is unremarkable, and the signboard is small and biased.On the left and right are an adult｜personal goods store that seems to be going bankrupt and a couple｜hotel with extremely gaudy neon lights and color schemes. People have to feel the good intentions of the bar owner.

However, after entering the door and passing the entrance, it was discovered that there was a cave in this hotel.

First of all, the internal area is much larger than imagined. There are more than [-] booths surrounding the bar. The distribution is not tight, and the space is more than enough.

Looking at its decoration, although it is not luxurious, it is also very delicate and elegant.Yu Sheng thinks that this place is not inferior to Sin's underground bar.

Moreover, because of the "particularity" of the audience, privacy considerations here are much more important and cautious than other bars.The partitions between booths are set very high, and the openings are also left very narrow, basically allowing only one person to pass through.It can be said that unless someone deliberately pokes in to see it, it is difficult to see who is sitting inside and what they are doing even if they are standing outside the booth.

Yu Sheng is very satisfied with this design.

He first picked a booth near the corner, and then sent the position to Musize. Three minutes later, Musize appeared at the entrance of the deck.

"Brother Yu is so interested today? He actually made an appointment to meet me alone." Mu Xize sat down opposite Yu Sheng in a very casual manner, and seemed to be very familiar with this place.But as soon as he glanced at Yu Sheng, he slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "With your current appearance, you don't need to put on makeup when you go straight to sing a good face. You dare to come out to prostitute before your injury heals? Does Team Leader Nie know?"

Yu Sheng was speechless, but at the moment he didn't have the energy to argue with him, so he just gave him a flat look and said: "You are not much better than me, don't laugh at fifty steps."

"It's true that you can take a hundred steps, but I can only take five steps at most. I don't look like I have lost both energy and blood." Mu Xi Ze joked.

Just then a bartender passed by, and Mu Xi Ze called him, "Two glasses of water."

Yu Sheng almost rolled his eyes. "Aren't you afraid of being kicked out?"

"Not afraid. I know the boss well." Mu Xi Ze smiled. "Let's cut to the chase. What do you want from me?"

"I want to ask you to do me a favor." Yu Sheng didn't intend to be devious, and said directly, "Can you hack into the system of the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"

Mu Xi Ze first frowned when he heard the words, and then smiled meaningfully.

"If someone asked me, I would definitely say no."

"Is there any special care for me?"

"That's right. Anyway, we used to be wounded friends who lived in the opposite door. Besides, we are also destined."

"If you want to say that the hinge of this fate is Chen Fangyu, I really don't want to have it." Yu Sheng sighed helplessly. "But now it seems that fate is not a bad thing, just let me take advantage of it."

Mu Xi Ze nodded approvingly, "It's not in vain. What do you want me to check?"

"A case from seven years ago. In 2009, the June 6 incident. I want all the information about this incident. Give me as much as you can find."

"Seven years ago, June 6..." Mu Xi Ze thought for a moment, and suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared on his face. "Your parents were in that incident..."

"Yeah." Yu Sheng nodded slightly.

"I understand. You are suspecting that there is something else behind the incident." Mu Xi Ze let out a soft "hiss". "However, if you really want to re-investigate, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Team Leader Nie for help? Don't be angry, blame me for talking too much—" He saw Yu Sheng's eyes change instantly, and then said: "I don't mean to shirk. It's just If I'm not wrong, Team Leader Nie shouldn't know about your coming to me today, right?"

"If you want him to know, you can call him now. I have no objection." Yu Sheng said lightly.

Mu Xi Ze couldn't help laughing, "Why do I smell a smell of sex. Are you two okay?"

"You don't have anything else to worry about?" Yu Sheng rolled his eyes at him, "It's business. Can you help me with this?"

"It can help. But I dare not give you a guarantee as to which step can be found out." Mu Xi Ze's expression became serious.

Yu Sheng nodded, "I understand. I can check as much as I can. As long as you are willing to help, I will be very grateful."

"Don't be so polite all of a sudden. I didn't help you just to make you thank me." Mu Xi Ze leaned back in a relaxed manner.

Yu Sheng hummed, took a sip of the lemonade on the table, and was speechless for a moment.

Mu Xi Ze looked at him quietly, and said after a while: "But is it really okay for you to let me do this without telling Team Leader Nie? If he finds out, it may not be good for your relationship. "

After hearing this, Yu Sheng shook his head and smiled wryly, "If it's not good, how can it be bad? Anyway, now..."

Seeing that he stopped talking, Mu Xi Ze knew that he didn't want to go into details, so he didn't ask further.

"By the way, have you been in contact with Su Ji recently?" Yu Sheng changed the subject.

"There are not many contacts. They have been sorting out Captain Fu's case these two days, and they are very busy."

"Oh. That's right." Yu Sheng replied, but didn't know what to say.

Mu Xi Ze realized that Yu Sheng seemed to be rather cold than leaving at this moment, so he couldn't help laughing: "Do you have no other place to go later? If you have nothing to do, why don't you go to my house first? I just want to check for you. Information, you can supervise me not to take the opportunity to do something else."

"I'm not a policeman, so why supervise you?" Yu Sheng also smiled helplessly, but he seemed to be relieved, and then he said, "But I'm really curious about how you will investigate. Let's go to your house. "

"Then let's go." Mu Xi Ze stood up and pulled his clothes, bowed his head and smiled at Yu Sheng as a gentleman, "Boss Yu will pay the bill."

Yu Sheng: "...Your expression is very embarrassing, do you know that?"

***

It is about an hour's drive from Rainbow to Ninghe Community where Mu Xi Ze's family lives.

When the two entered the door, they looked at their watches just after 05:30.

"Can you hold on? Why don't you eat something first?" Seeing that Yu Sheng's face was getting worse and worse, Mu Xi Ze asked.

"No, I'm not hungry right now. If you want to eat, you can eat alone." Yu Sheng put on the slippers Mu Xi Ze handed him, walked into the living room and fell heavily on the sofa.He didn't expect that he would feel very physically exhausted after going out now, and he would inevitably feel a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that he didn't force himself like this, Mu Xize said "give me 10 minutes" and went to work in the kitchen.

Yu Sheng looked at his phone boredly for a while, but his eyes hurt after a long time, so he had to put it down.

Compared with the last time he came here, Mu Xize has not changed much, but some things that were obviously white have been put away.The door of Bai Zhang's room was closed.I don't know whose idea it was, but a yellow talisman was posted on the door, with some symbols that he couldn't understand at all drawn with red and black brushes.

Yu Sheng was a little curious.He walked to the door of the kitchen and opened it, and asked Mu Xi Ze who was frying the pot inside: "Did you post the talisman on Bai Zhang's door?"

"No, his parents asked someone to draw it, and they specially took it and pasted it up. They said it would make him walk more smoothly." Mu Xi Ze looked back at him.

Yu Sheng never believed in these things, so he pouted disapprovingly. "But you are brave enough to live here."

"Why don't you dare?" Mu Xi Ze's movements with the shovel are very skillful, and it looks like that. "Xiao Zhang is a kind person. No matter whether he is alive or dead, his nature will not change. Even if he really falls into the wrong way, he will have a wrong and a debtor, and he cannot find me."

"It's so frank." Yu Sheng leaned against the door frame and sighed softly.

Mu Xi Ze smiled, "Are you still doubting me?"

"I never doubted you from the beginning. Although you belong to the second brother, your behavior is very different from his. I don't think you will kill people." Yu Sheng shrugged.

"Thank you, Brother Yu, for your trust." After finishing speaking, Mu Xi Ze turned around and turned off the fire, took out a plate and two small bowls from the cupboard, and motioned Yu Sheng to take the chopsticks from his left hand with his eyes, and said while serving the dishes : "Let's eat together, enough."

After Yu Sheng had just rested for a while, he actually started to feel hungry.So he hummed, and without being polite to Mu Xizhe, he went to get two pairs of chopsticks, and helped Mu Xizhe take out the dishes and put them on the dining table.

Mu Xi Ze also came out later, holding a bowl of rice in one hand.He handed one of the bowls to Yu Sheng and said, "It's not enough to fill it up."

"Okay, thanks."

In Yu Sheng's eyes, Mu Xi Ze has always been shrouded in an aura of "a good man at home".After tasting his dishes today, Yu Sheng felt even more that his judgment was correct.

"You have good craftsmanship." He couldn't help but praise after taking a bite.

Mu Xi Ze smiled modestly, "I used to be the one who cooked for my grandfather. The old man is so tricky, he won't touch anything that doesn't suit his taste. I was trained by him."

When Yu Sheng heard it, he couldn't help but said happily: "I didn't expect Mr. Mu to have such a temper—"

Before the words fell, the phone rang.

The caller ID is "Nie Qing".

"Aren't you going to pick it up?" Seeing that the bell rang several times, Mu Xi Ze didn't intend to pick up the phone for the rest of his life, so he asked, "How about I pick it up for you?"

Yu Sheng glanced at him. "No need." After speaking, he finally pressed the answer button.

"Ah Sheng! Where have you been?" As soon as the call was connected, Nie Qing's anxious voice was heard on the other end.

Yu Sheng looked up and saw Mu Xi Ze staring at him with an expression of waiting to watch a show, he couldn't help but stare at him, then looked away, and said, "I have something to do when I go out. Sorry, I forgot to tell you."

"Then where are you now? Tell me the place and I'll pick you up."

"No, I'll go back when I'm done. You go home first, and we'll contact you later. I'm a little busy right now, so I'll hang up first."

"Asheng-"

Yu Sheng didn't wait for Nie Qing to finish, he had already pressed the hang up button, and turned off the phone by the way.

"If Team Leader Nie knows that he is not as important as a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, he will probably vomit blood." Mu Xize teased, tapping his finger on the table.

Yu Sheng didn't speak, and didn't move his chopsticks again.

Mu Xi Ze tactfully stopped joking, and started eating on his own.

After a long time, Yu Sheng let out a low breath.

"Is there any wine?"
