Monster 1

The external balcony on the second floor is designed to look like a garden in the sky. All kinds of lamps and potted plants are placed in an orderly manner. The air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, which relieves Xie Zhian's chest tightness. .

There were not many people on the balcony, only a few scattered men smoking outside, those people saw Xie Zhian coming and didn't deliberately go up to say hello - Xie Zhian can come here, probably can't stand the inside Environment, if you go up at this time, don't you have nothing to do?

Xie Zhian found a small round table near the edge and sat down straight down.

There was a pot of hot tea on the table, it seemed that the waiter had just changed it, Xie Zhian took the initiative to pour two cups of tea for himself and the man: "Sit for a while?"

"En." The man happily agreed, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Young Master Xie pouring tea for him: "You and I think differently."

"What's the difference." Xie Zhi'an completely pulled back his tie, letting him relax: "What's the difference for those who can come here?"

"Of course people are different." The man spread his hands in front of Xie Zhian, and said softly, "Do you know close-up magic?"

The man's fingers flicked a few times on the table like playing a piano, and then his hand flicked in the air, and a poker card with 3 of hearts appeared in his hand.

At this point, the man was not satisfied either. He held the 3 of hearts in his palm, exerted a slight force on his arm, and conjured up an Ace of spades and a 2 of diamonds.

At the end of the performance, the man put the poker cards on the table, pointed at the top Ace of Spades, and said with a smile: "If anyone else would cheer at this time, they would definitely exclaim, or say something amazing. But you just Does looking at me like that make me unattractive?"

"You said it was magic, so it's just some tricks to deceive the eyes." Xie Zhi'an's expression was a little puzzled.

"Then you are different from others." The topic of the man's success led to a relaxed direction: "Others will focus on 'magic'. For them, this is an easy magic experience, but for you In other words, what you see more is a skill show. And the so-called magician is nothing more than a liar."

After hearing the man's explanation, Xie Zhi'an reached out and took away the Ace of Spades under his hand, his pale and slender fingers dangled in the air, and when he spread his hand again, the card had disappeared.

Xie Zhi'an smiled and stretched out his hand to the man: "Xie Yan."

"Mu Qing." After shaking hands, Mu Qing looked at the Ace of Spades that appeared in his hand out of nowhere, and let out a very hearty smile: "It seems that I'm out of control."

"Not really." Xie Zhian shook his head: "Because I'm watching you."

"That's why I saw your movements clearly."

Xie Zhi'an's tone was neither urgent nor slow, and the rhythm was just right. At first glance, it sounded like he was just boasting about his good eyesight, but if he thought about it carefully, he could feel a bit of a difference.

However, Mu Qing seemed to only understand the first meaning, and he drank the tea in one gulp: "It seems that next time I do the trick, my speed will be faster."

The charity dinner is about to start, and only Xie Zhian and Mu Qing are left on the balcony. In order to respond to energy conservation and emission reduction in recent years, several headlights outside have been turned off one by one, leaving only a few small lamps on the ground. The light, the light is not so good, even though there is only a small rest table, Xie Zhian can't see Mu Qing's face clearly.

Xie Zhi'an doesn't like the dark. The reason may be enough to fill two big baskets, but he personally thinks the main reason is: in the dark, he can't accurately get a person's appearance.

Just like playing black box guessing, many people will be frightened crazy by a dead object in this game, because of the unknown.

Knowing that he couldn't continue to stay in such an environment, Xie Zhian was about to find some reason to leave, but unexpectedly, Mu Qing spoke at this time.

"It might be a bit noisy going down now, why don't you go in after the dinner party starts for a while. I don't think you like to deal with it, why don't we be deserters together?"

Mu Qing's words were full of concern, which made Xie Zhi'an unable to find any reason to reject him, so he could only nod his head, and poured himself a cup of slightly cold tea, trying to suppress the turbulence in his heart uneasy.

"I only came to Beicheng a few years ago. Do you know what the biggest surprise Beicheng gave me?"

"Ok?"

"It is here that you can see the stars." Mu Qing pointed to the distant sky, and motioned Xie Zhian to look over: "Actually, I should be very experienced at this time and tell the name of each star and the meaning it represents. It's more interesting, but unfortunately, I don't know them either."

"But they are beautiful, like everyone's wish in this city, shining in the sky."

There are a few twinkling stars dotted in the dark sky, they are obviously the guiding lights in the eyes of others, but in Xie Zhian's eyes, they are more like dark eyes.

Ruthlessly peeping at the land that was shrouded by him.

A strange feeling came from all directions, Xie Zhian felt as if he was trapped in a huge cotton candy, the surrounding was soft and exuded a faint sweet fragrance, Mu Qing's voice also became farther and farther away, more and more It's getting blurry.

He tried hard to open his eyes to see the scene in front of him clearly, but the moment he focused, a beast named Darkness suddenly appeared in front of him, driving away all the little monsters that tried to erode his will.

Xie Zhian's eyes suddenly became clear, and at the same time, he heard Mu Qing's last words.

"The stars know you best because they watch you day after day."

Mu Qing still looked at the sky, even with a trace of obsession in his eyes.

"Mr. Mu, we should go down."

"Ah." As if just woken up from a wonderful dream, Mu Qing said apologetically, "Sorry, I lost my composure."

"Nothing, it's good to have something you like."

Xie Zhian smiled politely and distantly, got up together with Mu Qing and walked towards the banquet hall.

--------------

The seat reserved by the organizer for Xie Zhian was different from Mu Qing's. Xie Zhian went to his seat led by the waiter, but unexpectedly saw Lu Yunli wearing a silver-gray suit on the other side of the double seat.

It has been more than a month since I met Lu Yunxi. When I first met him, his hair was of a normal length, but now it is indeed a bit too long.Therefore, tonight, Lu Yunxi chose to tie some of his hair that was too long behind his head, and the small broken hair below was fixed with a few black wire clips.

Unlike in the past, he wore a pair of rose-gold flat glasses with anti-slip chains on his face. This simple decoration weakened his outline a lot, and the whole person looked like a very standard-dressed beast at this time template.

Xie Zhi'an suddenly remembered the photo that Bai Qiu sent to him a few days ago of Lu Yunli wearing a police uniform when he first came to work at the police station—the anger and hostility from his youth had not been suppressed, but he forcibly took away the image that symbolized justice. Wearing clothes on the body, it looks both funny and hopelessly attracts the attention of others.

"Can't you tell?"

Xie Zhi'an was sitting on the other side of the sofa, and wanted to keep a distance from Lu Yunli that would not be fabricated by someone with a heart, but he didn't expect Lu Yunli to move himself away with such shameless rubbings. He arrived at the place where he was sitting next to Xie Zhian.

"Did you know that our family has a super power."

"what?"

"The ability to quickly rescue the field." Lu Yun said seriously: "Look, my elder brother just told me this morning that I have to come this time."

"Well, that's really powerful." Facing Lu Yunlin's nonsense as usual this time, Xie Zhian responded with a sentence for the first time, just when Lu Yunlin thought Xie Zhian had changed his sex, the next unpleasant words followed To: "I think Mu Qing has a problem, a big problem."

"How to say?"

"I chatted with him on the balcony for a while, and he put something in my tea." Xie Zhi'an said with certainty: "It's a hypnotic drug, and the amount is very small."

"OK, you just drank tea with a person who didn't know the details on the balcony in the cold wind, and you drank it after knowing that he had drugged you?" Lu Yunli said in a bad tone: "You are really a good policeman who died in the line of duty. .”

"He won't take too much on this occasion, and I have a certain resistance to this kind of drug." Xie Zhian turned sideways in Lu Yunli's direction: "I'm not sure what he asked, but I can assure you I didn't say anything."

"Although I really want to know why you are resistant to this type of drug, it is obviously not a good time to discuss this issue." Lu Yunli picked up the water glass to cover his lips, and said softly to the side of Xie Zhian's face: " Sister Feng... is the forensic doctor specially hired by the bureau. I will introduce you next time. Sister Feng sent me a message at noon today, saying that Mu Qing used to be from their school, she was her junior, and she studied psychology. When she was a junior I went abroad for further study, and I haven’t contacted my college friends for so many years, I didn’t expect to appear again and become an upstart in the shopping mall.”

"He didn't throw away what he learned in college and he applied it to others."

Xie Zhi'an frowned, and when he turned his head, he realized that Lu Yunlin was leaning on his body, not to mention that people around who had already noticed had cast their eyes here.

Xie Zhi'an was almost so angry by Lu Yun that he didn't know what to say.

In public, you can't sit down and talk about etiquette!

"Lu Yun, sit down!"

Like a cat that exploded suddenly, Xie Zhi'an said to Lu Yunli fiercely.

"Aren't we talking about a little secret? Do you want me to say it out loud?" Lu Yunli blocked Xie Zhian's hand that wanted to push him away, and pulled Xie Zhian to his side, whispering: "Sit down, Mu Qing Looking over here."

Xie Zhi'an subconsciously glanced in Mu Qing's direction, but found nothing.

"If you can see it, you may be able to officially take up the post." Lu Yunlin leaned on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, and pulled Xie Zhian to lean on the sofa: "After the banquet is over, he will definitely look for you again, don't I will deal with the person, you ask him for his contact information, just say... Your family wants to cooperate with him? Anyway, no matter what the reason, you need the contact information."

"Isn't it more appropriate for you to go?" Xie Zhi'an was puzzled, this kind of thing that basically relied on fooling people, Lu Yun should be more proficient.

"Firstly, he wants to maintain his rich and benevolent image, so he 'disdains' to communicate with me too much; secondly, if he really has a problem, it's no good to provoke me. In my case, you can't use 'the more dangerous the more 'Safety'."

Xie Zhi'an nodded half-understanding, and with a single sentence, Lu Yunli rolled his eyes in public for the first time in his life.

"Because you are a ghost?"

Lu Yunxi: ...Very well, is this taught by Gu Ju or Qiu Mingyuan?Day by day can't say what I ordered.

After thinking for a long time but still unable to come up with a suitable word, Lu Yunli realized that he had encountered countless Waterloos in his life at Xie Zhian's place.

In the end, he could only reply angrily: "That's not it."
