The day I was forced to be a detective pendant

"I'm serious, no one goes to someone's house empty-handed, we have to buy something."

After hearing my anxious speech, Bian Yao said indifferently: "How many times have you been there before? No, you didn't buy anything."

"That's different! It wasn't someone who invited us before... In other words, it's not very good for you to go to the door without saying hello." I chased after Bian Yao and watched him step by step. Dress in layers, scarves, and hats.

"What's wrong, Brother Yue doesn't mind." Bian Yao successfully wrapped himself into a ball of fur, put his hands in his pockets, buried the lower half of his face in the scarf, and looked at me with a pair of amber eyes.

"Brother Yue is an older brother, I'm sorry to argue with you... Didn't you see that Chu Huaixing is unhappy every time?"

Bian Yao raised his eyebrows: "Huh? I don't care if the stupid dog minds."

"You!" I gave up discussing this matter with Bian Yao, and decided to buy a bottle of red wine to bring with me - wolves like red meat, so it should be no problem to go with it.

When Bian Yao was putting on his shoes in the hallway, I passed him to get the keys, and I vaguely heard a slight humming sound coming from the scarf—this guy seemed to be in a good mood.A few days ago, Brother Yue sent Chu Huaixing to invite me and Bian Yao to have dinner at home on Christmas Eve, and I heard that they prepared gifts for us.Although Bian Yao said, "How old are you and still accepting Christmas presents", he couldn't hide his triumphant look at all. There were three hours before the meal time, and he was already at the door getting ready and gaining momentum Ready to send.

After we crossed half of the city and came to Chu's house again, we walked into the mansion with ease. The dogs in the house were busy walking around, and the smell of rosemary barbecue and cinnamon wafted in the air.

After we walked into the living room, we found that apart from the two brothers of the Chu family, there was also a man whom we had never seen before sitting in the living room——he had a handsome appearance, wearing glasses, and exuded a strong bookish atmosphere.

When Bian Yao saw him, he lost all the reservedness and coolness of a cold-blooded animal, and rushed up happily, shouting, "Brother Fan, you're back!"

The man smiled at him, stood up and hugged him, then patted his back: "Xiao Yao is here."

The man immediately turned his gaze to me behind Bian Yao, stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "Hi, my name is Fan Wujiu, and I'm Mianyue's partner."

partner?

I looked at him in amazement, and it took me half a beat to react—this gentle man like a scientific researcher turned out to be Brother Yue's weapon?

I quickly stretched out my hand respectfully and said, "Hello."

He said: "You don't need to be so polite, just call me brother like Xiao Yao. You are Chuyang, right? Mianyue and I mentioned you."

I nodded, and turned around to see Chu Huaixing—he raised his eyebrows as if he had greeted me, and his short white hair grew a bit longer, I don't know if it was because of the wolf's winter hair.

At this time, two girls with pointed ears came in. One of them was carrying a large tray full of porcelain cups, and the other was holding a jug of steaming red wine.The red wine is boiled with spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, and soaked in orange slices and longan, with a mellow wine aroma in the sweet and sour taste.I took it and took a big sip, and the warmth immediately spread from my stomach to my whole body.

Chu Huaixing strolled over and said, "Take it easy, there's rum in it, it's very strong."

"It's delicious!" I took another sip and asked in a low voice, "Is this your brother's weapon?"

Chu Huaixing nodded: "That's right, Brother Fan is also my brother's business partner."

"Oh, oh," I thought to myself—also the president, and asked again: "Did they also know each other from a long time ago?"

"I was a classmate earlier," Chu Huaixing suddenly lowered his voice, "Did you know that Bian Yao is not short-sighted at all. He learned to wear glasses from him when he was a child because he admired Brother Fan. In addition, sometimes he can't control himself very well. Snake eyes, there is a lens that can just cover it."

Immediately after hearing this, I had a picture in my mind - a little snake struggling to swim behind the two older brothers, with its tail rolled up and glasses put on the little snake's head, so cute.

"He did a lot of stupid things when he was a child. One day my brother made a cup of coffee and put it on the cabinet. He smelled it and went to drink it secretly, and then wept himself bitterly." Chu Huaixing said, "I laughed at him and got angry with me. , didn't talk to me for a week."

I laughed out loud: "Hahahahahaha."

Bian Yao looked over vigilantly, and Chu Huaixing and I immediately lowered our heads to drink, pretending nothing happened.

Seeing him turn around and continue to talk about the old days with Brother Fan, I said: "I remembered, once there was no milk at home, I made two cups of black coffee, you didn't see his frowning face."

Chu Huaixing: "Tsk tsk."

I also "tsk": "All snakes pretending to be cool are paper tigers."

At this time, there was a sound of "clicking" from far and near at the corner, and a brown dog ran in wagging its tail.I looked down, and after a little bit of identification, I realized that it was the wild dog that Chu Huaixing had rescued before—it was now smooth and smooth, with thick fur, and the fear and madness in its expression disappeared, and it was completely a new dog.

The wild dog obviously knew me, barked at me, and kicked my calf desperately.I squatted down: "I also have a gift for you."

I tied a little gentleman's bow tie around its neck, and took out a bite toy in the shape of a bone. The dog picked up the toy and kept flapping its paws, looking very happy.

The dog walked up to Fan Wujiu's feet with the toy in its mouth, lowered its body and wagged its tail to play with him, but when he patted its head, it immediately happily ran after its own tail, exactly the same as Bian Yao's behavior just now.Chu Huaixing and I looked over there together, and through the heat of the red wine, Chu Huaixing suddenly felt a little emotional: "To be honest, Bian Yao is half of my child, he doesn't like to stay in his own home, but I also understand that they The family atmosphere is really serious, and his parents are also very strict with him. Later, when my brother graduated and came to this city, he even secretly wiped his tears."

I couldn't imagine Bian Yao wiping his tears at all, and said "Wow" in surprise, and then looked at him suspiciously: "Wait, don't just talk about others, you must be crying too."

Chu Huaixing blushed and stiffened his neck: "I didn't."

I understood: "Then after you and Bian Yao went to college, you also followed to this city... Tsk tsk, you two are brother-controllers."

"That's not the case!" Chu Huaixing said angrily, "I was originally going to come to this school!"

I thought for a while and said, "However, strict requirements at home mean high expectations. After all, aren't they from a family of dragons? Then...after Bian Yao was injured and lost his ability, how did his family react to him?"

"What other reaction can I have? It's anger. Because this anger can't be vented directly on the perpetrator, so it can only be vented on Bian Yao. His father found many ways to treat him without belief, but the dragon power is gone. It's gone." Chu Huaixing paused, and said coldly: "No one has said a word to him from the beginning to the end - it doesn't matter if you don't have the ability, you are still you, you are still our son."

When I heard the words, my heart twitched instantly, and some fragments broke into my mind——When Zhai Qi proposed that I could use Bian Yao to exert his dragon power, his subconscious resistance and denial, and his self-abandonment implied , Careful hope.

"I don't like his family anyway," Chu Huaixing said arrogantly, "so if he wants to come to my house to play, he will come."

"Going home for the Spring Festival?" Brother Yue happened to be asking Bian Yao.

Bian Yao replied in seconds: "No."

"What about you?" Brother Yue raised his chin towards me again.

Me: "Uh..."

To be honest, I originally planned to go home for the winter vacation, but suddenly I heard what Bian Yao said, and I really didn't want to leave Bian Yao here alone during the Chinese New Year.

Brother Yue didn't ask further, and said to Bian Yao: "I come to live here when the school is on holiday, and I don't have classes. What are you doing in that little broken apartment of yours?"

Why is our apartment so small... I groaned, but then I looked around the palace I was in, and couldn't help falling into sad contemplation.

"Can my cat come too?" I asked, "but it's full of dogs. Will he be scared?"

Bian Yao said speechlessly: "I told you earlier that he is not an ordinary kitten, and he has already been fed into a big fat leopard by you, okay? Do you want your cat slave filter to be so heavy?"

Brother Yue took a few steps closer to me, wrinkled his nose and asked, "By the way, what happened in the past few days? Your smell has changed."

What a sharp dog!

Bian Yao and I looked at each other, and he nodded: "Let me tell."

Bian Yao spent 10 minutes explaining the cause and effect of the whole incident. During the process, no one spoke, only the sound of me sipping wine.After he finished speaking, all three people present showed varying degrees of surprise, but the most shocked was Chu Huaixing. He yelled very impolitely: "Dragon??? You???"

He stared at me: "You can change into a dragon and come out to see, I haven't seen a dragon yet."

I looked around and found that except for Bian Yao, everyone was looking at me directly.I said helplessly: "What are you expecting? How could it become possible, let alone you, I have never seen it, okay, I was directly beaten and passed out."

Bian Yao went on to say: "After the Dragon Soul appeared, Xiang Wuzheng's partner immediately asked him to change the content of the mission and take him away." He pointed at me, "I doubt that the organization Xiang Wuzheng is in now is the same as before. The group who kidnapped us may have some connection."

"Kidnapping?" I turned to look at him immediately when I heard the words, "What do you mean, you mean that accident? It was a kidnapping case?"

Chu Huaixing: "You don't know?"

I slowly shook my head: "I don't know. When you said 'accident', I always thought it was some kind of accident, such as becoming obsessed while practicing kung fu."

I stared at Bian Yao: "Why don't you say anything? Kidnapping? Who did it?? Are those people caught? Are they in jail?"

Facing my barrage of question marks, Bian Yao said quite innocently: "You didn't ask me, and I don't remember many of them clearly. Most of the time after I was kidnapped, I spent most of my time because of drugs. insane."

I was convinced by his calm attitude, and looked anxiously at Brother Yue, expecting someone to give me a comprehensive explanation.

As soon as Fan Wushou raised his hand, a miniature spiritual field similar to a three-dimensional projection appeared in front of us. He explained concisely: "Memory."

A handsome black wolf walks across the vast snowfield with a small white ball on its back.

The screen switched, the little white wolf bowed its ears against the plane, the little green snake raised its neck and exposed its fangs, the two little animals tried their best to threaten each other, and the black wolf basked in the sun with his eyes squinted behind.

When Bian Yao was a teenager, holding a bamboo sword in both hands, he practiced the same sword swing again and again under the scorching sun. His temples and neck were all wet with sweat, and a man with a stern face stood beside him with his hands behind his back.

The grown-up Bian Yao and Xiang Wuzheng stood in the middle of a stadium full of people, facing two teenagers of the same age with blurred faces.I don't know what kind of competition was held just now, but it is obvious that our side won - Bian Yao and Bian Yao both had confident smiles on their sweaty faces.

That was a look I had never seen on Bian Yao's face.

The scene changed, a room full of adults were sitting together, discussing something anxiously, Brother Yue came in from the door and shook his head at them.

The screen changed again, and the scene fell into chaos, all the adults were in a hurry - there was no sound from the replay of the memory, but it was obvious that they were all yelling something.The stern man who had appeared before rushed forward, and pulled away Xiang Wuzheng who was lying on Bian Yao's body, hugging him and refusing to let go, and crying, revealing Bian Yao who was covered in blood underneath—his arms dangled weakly on the ground. On the side of the body, on the back of the hand, there are a few needles like infusion tubes, which are stuck with scotch tape.Xiang Wuzheng kept repeating a sentence heartbreakingly, I tried hard to identify his mouth shape, and he said - it was all my fault.

The previous memories all flashed by, and the time span was also very large, but this scene was so detailed that it even felt like a long time.

The screen switched for the last time. Bian Yao was lying on the hospital bed with heavy bandages on his neck and forehead. If you look carefully, there are tiny needle holes on each of his fingers. It is hard to imagine what he has experienced before.Xiang Wuzheng was leaning on crutches, with gauze on his face, he leaned on the window of the ward door and looked for a while, then lowered his head when he saw someone coming, and left in a hurry.

All the pictures disappeared, I raised my head and looked at him quietly——Bian Yao stared at the place where the pictures disappeared, as if reading someone else's story.
