Netherworld Investigator

The howling cold wind was like a blow to the head, and the coldness pierced into the bones like long needles.

The existence of the convenience store at this time is undoubtedly reassuring, and under the warm and comfortable lighting, the aroma of the food also seems to carry weight.

There is a long dining table behind the floor-to-ceiling glass, and a long-haired woman in a red windbreaker sits alone.

This is a beautiful woman who can be seen with only half of her face exposed under the sunglasses. She is eating a bowl of udon in oyster sauce alone, with a few grains of yellow fish tofu lying on the rough noodles. There was also a bottle of apple juice.

She eats very politely, and from time to time, she uses a tissue to dab the corners of her mouth lightly, so as not to lose the delicately painted lipstick.

Udon and fish curd are undoubtedly innocent and lovely, but when this kind of monotony and wanton beauty are combined, it will inevitably appear rough.

Just when the bowl of noodles was about to run out, a tall man wearing a dark felt hat walked into the convenience store.He bought a lollipop, sat down in an empty seat from the long-haired woman, and gently tore open the package.

The woman looked at him through the half-face-sized sunglasses and the reflection of the glass window, and then looked away.

She wiped her mouth, picked up the juice, and twisted it a few times, but failed to unscrew it.

"Do you need my help?" The man's deep and bright voice filled the ears.

"Thank you." The woman smiled and handed the bottle over.

The moment her fingertips touched, her mind seemed to be enveloped by a strange sense of dizziness, her eyes went dark for a moment, her hand couldn't help but let go, and the juice bottle that she almost missed was firmly caught by the man.

The man kept smiling all the time, unscrewed the cap of the bottle without any effort, and then put it in the woman's hand together with a thin envelope.

"Let's go, the sky is going to change." He got up to leave, and the hem of the windbreaker disappeared into the night.

In an instant, a winter rain followed.

"Monster!" Zhang Tao plunged into the office, sat down on his buttocks, and said angrily, "That man is a monster, he must have some super power to confuse other people's minds!"

Wen Baifan straightened up like a groundhog, rolled his eyeballs left and right, and seeing no one around, he cleared his throat, and echoed without restraint: "That's right, he's not a good person at first sight."

You must know that a person who is angry is like talking in a dream, but whenever someone continues a sentence, he will respond to you endlessly.

"Right, team leader, you think so too!" Sure enough, Zhang Tao's face was full of excitement of being recognized, and then he poured beans out of the bamboo tube and said, "Xiaoru's computer blue screen this morning, I took the initiative to talk to her about it." Help her fix it during lunch break, and guess what?"

"What's the matter?" Wen Baifan seemed like a competent fan.

"She said no need, just let someone else fix it for her." Zhang Tao lowered his head in frustration.

Xiaoru is a young girl who just graduated from the forensic department next door. Zhang Tao has always been very interested in her, and often shows her courtesy with excuses.

Wen Baifan hit the nail on the head: "That's your fault. Why didn't you fix it right away, and you had to wait until noon? How can you work if the computer is broken this morning?"

Zhang Tao smiled naively, "I just thought about it. It's noon, we have to eat, right? Then we can eat and chat while I am repairing the computer. She praised me for my good skills. How much is that?" It's a rare opportunity to promote feelings... As a result, as a result! She asked someone else to help her! It's not good to find someone, she actually wants to find Director Qiao!"

Wen Baifan wondered, "Can that guy repair computers?"

"That's right, that's the problem. Xiaoru doesn't even know if he can repair computers, and I don't think he can. There is a specialization in this field. Autopsy and dismantling the mainframe are two different things. I told Xiaoru, The problem with her computer is very tricky, and I have to let professional people fix it slowly, otherwise I won’t be able to get the data back if I damage it.”

Wen Baifan applauded: "It's a good talk, did she accept it?"

"It was all good at first, but I blame Brother Fei for taking the mouse. He passed by and heard me talking, and he came over and tapped the keyboard a few times to solve the problem." Zhang Tao snorted, "team leader You don't know, the way Xiaoru looked at me changed suddenly."

Wen Baifan was laughing so hard that his intestines were knotted, and was about to say something to comfort Zhang Tian, ​​but Luo Fei walked in the next second, and he quickly pointed gloatingly, "Look, your enemy is here. "

Zhang Tao waved his hand: "Brother Fei has a girl, and the hatred value cannot be raised."

Luo Fei leaned against Wen Baifan's table with a gloomy expression, but didn't speak.

Wen Baifan squinted at him: "Why, you also have petty emotions?"

Luo Fei drank a glass of cold white water in a gesture of borrowing alcohol to relieve his worries, and then he opened his mouth slowly, and said, "Yesterday, my family Yanyan and I went to see a movie, and the movie was called "The Perfect Lover" , the leading actor is the little fresh meat she has always liked."

"Then you got jealous?" Wen Baifan said disgustedly, "I finally understand, people in love are not as big as a pin's eye."

"No, she's changed her mind." Luo Fei sighed, "She said that she used to think that Xiao Xianrou looked good, but since she met a more attractive man, she always felt bad looking at Xiao Xianrou. Do something, I am no longer as excited as before."

"Are you here to show off?" Wen Baifan clicked his tongue twice, "According to the law of the development of the plot, should I say the next sentence, because she thinks you are the most perfect lover."

"The problem is that the more attractive man she mentioned is not me." Luo Fei gritted his teeth and said Qiao Kejun's name.

Wen Baifan lay down on the table and laughed, "Do you think you two are ashamed? You are both big men, and you are always trying to figure out whether you look good or not. Is it interesting? Is it vanity or not? With this mind of comparison, focus on work Isn't it better?"

"Hey, why are these words so convincing coming from your narcissistic mouth?" Luo Fei looked at him expressionlessly, "Really, it's very touching."

"Only a well-respected handsome guy like the team leader has the confidence to make sarcastic remarks." Zhang Tao sighed, rushed to Luo Fei, held his hand, and said in unison, "Brother Fei, let's pool our money to hire a How about the killer get rid of that evildoer?"

Luo Fei lowered his head, raised his hand to touch his slightly thin chest, and said hesitantly, "He's good at marksmanship, and he's tall. Last time I sneaked a look at him, he still has abs, more than one. The kind. To be honest, it’s hard to deal with.”

"How about God's Hand? A criminal expert who still maintains an undefeated record must be very skilled!"

"Good idea, then, you call and ask him if the schedule is open?"

"Do you still think that killing people requires some skill?" Wang Yu's voice sounded at the door.

"Hey, what's your opinion, Young Master Wang?" Luo Fei teased him.

Since he was punished for the missing gun incident, Wang Yu's character has grown a lot, and he finally learned to listen to other people's opinions, but his temper of expressing his own opinions remains the same as before. "Whether it is a murder of passion or a premeditated crime, the murderer in many cases is a person who seems to be powerless. The murder completed by using physical force is the easiest to leave clues and reveal flaws at the scene, and the reason why criminal experts can Maintain an undefeated record against the police precisely because he never left any evidence. Team leader, am I right?"

"Did I hear you right, Young Master Wang would take the initiative to ask Brother Bai for advice?" Before Wen Baifan could speak, Luo Fei was amazed.

Wang Yu was quite embarrassed by being squeezed out by him, and there was a trace of imperceptible embarrassment in his tone: "I used to be a little, um, too arrogant... If it wasn't for... that person, I'm afraid I wouldn't have realized it... ...It's a pity that I misunderstood him before and made rude remarks..."

Hearing this, Luo Fei and Zhang Tao fought a cold war at the same time, and rubbed their arms in unison.Wen Baifan raised his eyebrows at the two of them, puffed out his chest, and was about to say something when Wang Yu said, "I don't know if he can forgive me."

Wen Baifan waved his hand: "He won't take this trivial matter to heart."

Wang Yu hesitated, "Really?"

Wen Baifan said firmly: "Really."

"That's good." Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "I was always worried that Director Qiao had feelings for me, and he was quite indifferent every time he saw me, although he seemed to have the same attitude towards everyone. He came back to his senses and asked again: "By the way, what were you talking about just now? Who wants to kill whom?"

Wen Baifan smiled stiffly: "Oh."

"Don't make these inconspicuous jokes all day long. We have a special profession, so we must pay attention to the influence." Wang Yu looked at him with hatred, "You are still the team leader, can you take the lead?"

Wen Baifan raised his legs and ran: "Why hasn't Xiaojia shown up today, I'll go look for it."

In the pantry.

Xiao Jia turned around, and Wen Baifan saw a cup of dark liquid in her hand, he pawed at the door frame half coquettishly half complaining: "Zhai coffee, I won't be able to take a nap after drinking it."

"It doesn't seem to be for you." Xiao Jia said with a smile, "It seems to be for Director Qiao."

Wen Baifan took a deep breath, managed to keep his smile unchanged, and found a way for himself: "It's okay, I'm not thirsty, I'm just hungry, I'm here to find something to eat."

He opened the locker, rummaged through it for a long time, and muttered: "Where are the biscuits, are there any biscuits I want to eat?"

"It's gone." Xiaojia took out a bag of selected large almonds and put them in Wen Baifan's hands, "Director Qiao said that biscuits are a mixture of sugar and oil, which is unhealthy and easy to gain weight. You should eat less. Everyone unanimously decided that the public snacks in the future will all be delicious." Buy nuts."

Wen Baifan was in disbelief, and wrinkled his face and complained: "It's changed, you've all changed! It was obviously not like this before, and I used to stock up on whatever snacks I liked in the cabinet."

"Director Qiao also said..."

Wen Baifan blocked his ears with two fingers: "That's enough, I don't want to listen to this guy's gossip anymore!"

After a while, he quietly let go of one ear again, "Okay, what else did that evildoer say?"

Xiao Jia smiled and fed a big almond into his mouth: "He said, children can't be used to it forever."

At lunch time, Wen Baifan brandished a fork, snorted and buried himself in eating a plate of pasta, looking so fierce that even Luo Fei, who used to be at the same table with him, moved to another place, so as not to be affected by his anger.

After Qiao Kejun finished his meal, he walked over, sat diagonally across from him, and unceremoniously took a box of cocoa milk from the table.

Wen Baifan shouted angrily: "What are you doing, this is all mine!"

Qiao Kejun stretched out his long arms, crossed the dining table, and flicked his forehead, "It's all right, why are you so angry?"

Wen Baifan turned his face away, and said in a cold tone, "You are very handsome..."

Qiao Kejun was a little baffled by his praise, but he still accepted the order calmly: "Thank you."

Wen Baifan said solemnly: "But you must know that I am not bad."

Qiao Kejun was too lazy to respond to this person's inexplicable convulsions, and picked up the tableware on his own.

Wen Baifan glanced at him a few times. This person is not slow to eat, but his posture is too elegant, which simply improves the ordinary bowl of rice in front of him a few notches.

While Wen Baifan was slandering, he no longer gobbled it up, and silently paid attention to his demeanor.

After eating, Qiao Kejun was about to get up, but Wen Baifan stopped him again, and looked away uncomfortably, "Did you forget to tell me something?"

Qiao Kejun asked kindly: "Are you free tonight?"

Wen Baifan spat out two words incomparably coldly: "No time."

"Yeah." Qiao Kejun didn't take it seriously, "Come with me when I get off work..."

"I told you I'm not free!" Wen Baifan interrupted him, clearing his throat, "Aren't you wondering why I'm not free?"

Qiao Kejun rarely had the patience to cooperate with him, "Then why are you not free?"

Wen Baifan took out a small light green card from his pocket, slapped it on the table, and raised his chin towards Qiao Kejun.I saw "Qiao Xin's 7th birthday party invitation" neatly written on it.

He proudly said: "Because I have an appointment with the handsome boy."

Qiao Kejun spread his hands, "So I want you to buy cakes with me after get off work."

Wen Baifan let out a "huh" and said curiously, "You know I know that today is your son's birthday?"

Qiao Kejun nodded: "He should have sent you an invitation card when he went to your house last Saturday."

After a pause, he added: "In order to write this card, he wasted several pieces of paper, and even sent me out to buy it halfway..."

Watching the backs of the two leaving, Xiao Jia and Xiao Ru looked at each other on the table not far away, and suddenly trembled.

Zhang Tao asked with concern: "Are you cold?"

The two girls shook their heads vigorously together.

Zhang Tao was puzzled: "Why are you shivering if you're not cold?"

"Being cute."

Tang Huanyan stabbed Luo Fei with her elbow, and Luo Fei deliberately said fiercely, "What are you doing!"

Tang Huanyan kicked him lightly under the table, "Be honest, don't act like a baby."

Luo Fei immediately put on a doggy expression, and leaned forward, "Yanyan, why are you calling your boyfriend?"

Tang Huanyan poked his face in disgust, and whispered: "Do you think our brother Bai has changed?"

"Has it changed?" Luo Fei thought for a while, "At least narcissism has not changed."

"That's right, it's just intuition." Tang Huanyan waved her hand, "He used to look cheerful, but occasionally for a few moments, I seemed to feel something heavy in his heart. It's like a well, you You can see it, but you can’t see it.”

"What now?" Luo Fei held his chin and looked at her with a smile.

"It's like seeing fish swimming in it now. Although I still can't see the end, it's inexplicably reassuring." Tang Huanyan thought for a while, "But if you want to talk about changes, it seems that Director Qiao's changes are more obvious……"

"Oh, you're going to praise him for being handsome again." Luo Fei lowered his face and sat up straight with his slanted body.

"Don't be so stingy, please! I praised him that day, that's all!" Tang Huanyan poked his arm, "I mean, at first I thought that Director Qiao was a difficult person to get along with, but now I realize... ...Well, it's still quite difficult to get along with, but it can be seen that he is actually just using coldness to cover up his social incompetence."

"You're still praising him!" Luo Fei wrapped his arms around himself sadly, "And your subtext is that you think I talk too much."

Tang Huanyan: "..."

Her boyfriend's reading comprehension was indeed taught by a Chinese teacher.

The female clerk smiled sweetly: "Sir, what kind of cake do you want?"

"I want this!" The two said in unison, but the objects they pointed to were completely different.

Wen Baifan pointed to a huge chocolate mousse cake in the glass cabinet, turned his head to look at Qiao Kejun, with the expression of a child begging for candy, "This looks good."

Unmoved, Qiao Ke turned his face sideways to confirm the order number with the female clerk, and took a sealed cake box from her.

Wen Baifan sighed regretfully, and reached out to take the cake box into his hand: "Let me get it, you drive."

Qiao Kejun held his hand and stuffed it back into Wen Baifan's own pocket, "No hurry, I have to go next door to buy gifts first."

Wen Baifan's heartbeat speeded up inexplicably, and he began to talk more: "Ah, I remembered, this is the road where we met your son running out to watch the dog last time, I remember there was a toy store next door. I I plan to give him a bear plush doll, what do you think? Brother Xiaoxin seems to like dogs and bears very much. Sending a bear can satisfy his little man's two wishes at once."

"Okay." Qiao Kejun had no objection.

Wen Baifan was a little hesitant, "But he also said last time that he wanted pandas."

"Let him go, he can bring the whole zoo home."

Wen Baifan was about to open the door, when he suddenly remembered something, turned his face to Qiao Kejun and smiled maliciously: "Brother Xiaoxin said you don't like cats, but you are actually afraid of cats, right?"

Qiao Kejun pursed his lips and did not refute.

When he acquiesced, Wen Baifan walked out while grinning: "I can see that you didn't dare to enter my house last time when you came to pick him up."

Behind him, the female shop assistant watched the two leave side by side with a complicated expression on their backs.

At this time, the female store manager came back after going to the bathroom. She glanced at the freezer and asked, "Has the customer who ordered the ten-inch chocolate mousse come to pick it up?"

The saleswoman bit her lower lip and nodded.

"What's the matter, is it hot?" The female shop manager touched her forehead tentatively, and the female shop assistant shook her head.

The female store manager asked curiously: "Then why are you blushing so much?"

The female clerk replied in a low voice: "I was cute."
