The Swan Bay Murders

I found that I couldn't avoid Xu Zhao in my life.

First he was in charge of the Berlin case, then he got involved with Jiang Luo, and now he got mixed up with Yi Li inexplicably.

Is it true that the more you hate a person, the more he will have a sense of presence in your world?

Xu Zhao was taken aback when he saw me coming in. We didn't talk first, Yi Li stood up to greet me with a smile on his face, and said to Xu Zhao, "Let me introduce you!"

I was about to say that we knew each other, but Xu Zhao stood up, stretched out his hand and said politely, "Hello, my name is Xu Zhao."

I squinted at him, held his hand very cooperatively and said, "Xing Baichuan."

I don't understand why Xu Zhao pretends to be a stranger to me, let alone how they got together.

When I thought that the "true love" in Yi Li's mouth turned out to be Xu Zhao, I felt a little uneasy.

Xu Zhao obviously loves Jiang Luo, either he has moved on in a short time, or he is just playing with Yi Li.

I think it is necessary for me to remind Yi Li, but the first play is actually "meeting for the first time", so how should I tell Yi Li is a problem.

What kind of medicine Xu Zhao sells in this gourd makes me extremely curious.

The three of us were drinking and chatting, but Xu Zhao still looked domineering, not at all like him in front of Jiang Luo.

When Yi Li talked to him, his reaction was very cold, which made me a little unhappy.

Anyway, Yi Li and I are close friends. Although it is impossible to be together again, I don't want to see him being bullied and deceived.

On the way, I went to the bathroom, and Xu Zhao followed me.

He looked at me sternly, which made me very impatient.

"Just say anything."

He smiled and asked me, "Are you satisfied?"

I frowned, not knowing what he meant.

"As long as Jiang Luo doesn't die, your Xing family doesn't intend to let him go?"

"What do you mean?"

Xu Zhao was silent for a few seconds, then raised his middle finger at me, then turned around to go out.

Naturally, I wouldn't let him just leave. I pulled him back, leaned against the wall, and said, "Speak clearly, what do you mean? Also, why are you pretending you don't know me?"

"Why should I tell you?" Xu Zhao pushed me away and straightened his clothes. "I haven't given up on Jiang Luo. If I don't look for him these days, I just want him to calm down. Your Xing family doesn't deserve him."

"It's up to you whether you deserve it or not." I was so angry that I couldn't help but wonder if I should have a fight with a policeman here.

"Okay, then I'll let you judge for yourself." He leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile, "You don't know, your precious brother died by himself, but he didn't intend to let Jiang Luo live well. "

I couldn't understand what he meant and looked at him with a frown.

"You know he has AIDS, and he deserves his death, but when he died, he wanted to drag Jiang Luo to be buried with him. Do you think this kind of person is hateful or not?" Xu Zhao blew a cigarette at me, " Fortunately, Jiang Luo came back a little late at that time, probably your idiot brother still has a little humanity, and finally figured it out, and inserted the knife that was supposed to be inserted into Jiang Luo's body into his stomach."

"I warn you," I said, "don't talk nonsense."

"It doesn't matter if I'm talking nonsense. Anyway, you can say that death has no proof, but think about it for yourself. If he didn't have this plan, why did he stab himself needlessly when he hanged himself? Are you full?"

I can't speak because my brain is messed up.

Xu Zhao smiled triumphantly in front of me and finished smoking a cigarette.

"Yi Li is quite annoying." He said, "We slept with me once and then he stalked me, please take him away quickly."

I looked at the back of Xu Zhao going out, and once again felt that he was not worthy of that police uniform.

When I returned to the box from the bathroom, Xu Zhao had already left, and only Yi Li was slumped on the sofa drinking.

"What about people?"

"Let's go." He raised his glass to toast me, "He actually doesn't like me."

I didn't speak, and thought to myself, since you know, you should stay away from him quickly.

"But it's rare for me to like someone again." Yi Li drank the wine in the glass and said, "I haven't liked anyone since I broke up with you. He revived my love."

I suddenly wanted to punch him, putting me with that kind of bastard, it's just smearing me.

"Let's go back when he's gone." I think it's too noisy here, so I don't want to stay longer.

"You go first." He lay down on the sofa, "I feel bad, I'm going to drink too much."

"...Stop doing this." Yi Li liked to drink, but this guy was a little drunk, if he was left here, he might not run away with someone at night.

I pulled him up from the sofa and dragged him out: "Send you back, don't play tricks on me."

He didn't say a word, and it was rare for him to stop for a while.

He lives not far from here. Before getting off the car, I told him: "Since you said he doesn't like you, don't pester him endlessly. There are plenty of men with two legs, so why bother."

"If I can know why I am doing this, then I guess it is not true love." Yi Li got out of the car, "You know what!"

After he finished speaking, he closed the car door, hummed loudly and went back.

I thought over and over what he said, indeed, when love comes, you can't explain why you do so many stupid things.

I was driving home and the traffic radio was playing.

Lisa sings affectionately:

Once I crossed seven rivers to find my love Andonce, for seven years, If for got my name came home, a night light was on in the living room.

It was hidden in the box when Jiang Luo moved, and it was the one that greeted me when I went to his and Berlin’s home for the first time.

Thanks to it, I went all the way from the porch to the door without accidentally bumping into anything.

Before entering the door, I subconsciously looked at Jiang Luo's room. The door was closed tightly. He should be asleep at this time.

I remembered what Yi Li said, if you know why it is necessary, then it is not true love.

I laughed at myself, thinking about this sentence when thinking about Jiang Luo, it's funny, because I don't love Jiang Luo.

It's just family affection, I just want to make up for Berlin, but I need someone to take Berlin's place.

That's all, it must not be love.

I pushed open the door, and when I raised my hand, I saw my cuff buttons, which made my heart tighten.

Jiang Luo was still very close to Yi Li, which made me nervous all day long.

I was worried that Yi Li would be stupid to ask Jiang Luo if I liked him, and I was also afraid that Yi Li would drag Jiang Luo to see Xu Zhao.

My thoughts were all tied to Jiang Luo, the whole day when he was out, I only turned one page of the book in my hand, and I didn't remember a single word of what the page was about.

"I said..." My dad stood behind me and said suddenly, which startled me.

"What's wrong?" I wanted to complain that he didn't knock on the door when he entered the room, but I found myself sitting on the sofa in the living room.

This is too wrong, since Jiang Luo went out, my brain seems to have gone with him, and what is sitting here is an empty shell.

"What are you thinking about?" My dad hugged Zai Zai and sat next to me, "Is there something you are hiding from us?"

Knowing a son is like a father, but I don't intend to tell him the truth.

"The company has encountered some trouble recently."

My dad sneered, pinched Zai Zai's ear and said, "Did you hear that? Your brother is lying again!"

I smiled helplessly and said, "Dad, it doesn't understand."

"How do you know it doesn't understand?" My dad glared at me, "Zizai is more sensible than you."

Zai Zai is obviously the number one in our family's current popularity ranking, and even Jiang Luo has relegated to the second place, let alone me.

"I feel like I'll have to call him brother in a few days." I rubbed Zaizai's face. This guy has grown up a lot recently. With the way my parents raise him, he will become a ball sooner or later.

"Son." My dad put the dog in his arms, looked at me and said solemnly, "If you have something on your mind, tell your parents, our family..."

I knew that if I continued the chat, I would definitely return to an uncomfortable topic, so I quickly interrupted him: "I know, but it's really okay, don't worry."

I really don't know how to tell him, because even I don't know what's wrong.

When Jiang Luo came back, he had a small bag in his hand, and I shamelessly thought it was for me again.

However, he took the bag and went back to his room, and never mentioned it after that.

I'm a little lost, totally self-inflicted.

It is probably rare for a person to be so sentimental as I am.

During the meal, my mother asked him what he did when he went out today. I listened with pricked ears, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Walking with a friend, he wants to buy a birthday present for his friend." Jiang Luo replied very seriously, "Then went to see two movies."

"Have you watched two shows?" My mother asked very gossip, "What did you watch? Is it good? I haven't been to a movie theater for many years."

"Uh..." Jiang Luo took a bite of his meal and said with a embarrassed smile, "I watched the same movie in both episodes, which was the recently released "Answer Not What You Love". It was pretty ugly."

My mother laughed out loud after hearing his honest evaluation. I was afraid that she would choke, so I took a glass of water and put it in her hand: "Stop laughing, let's have a good meal."

"Son, it's ugly, why do you have to watch it twice?" My mother calmed down after drinking a saliva.

Jiang Luo continued to be embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just...boring."

I don't know why this sentence is so funny, my mother couldn't stop laughing at all.

"Mom, are you okay?"

My mother waved her hand and said to my father, "Old man, why don't we both go to see it tomorrow?"

"Ah?" Jiang Luo hurriedly said, "It's not pretty..."

"It's okay," my dad answered, "She just likes bad movies."

I felt that our family's brain circuit was getting more and more strange, and I looked at Jiang Luo, and he immediately lowered his head in just a second.

I am a little puzzled, do not know why he would have such a reaction.
