Mystery Collection 2

When Gu Tingxi came out of Nangong's house, he walked in the dark night. The cold wind poured into his shirt, freezing his skin to the bone. However, no matter how cold the night wind was, it couldn't extinguish the burning flame deep in his heart. .

He didn't know where Han Yu was hiding, and he didn't know when they would show up. The only thing he could do was to wait for the situation to change. Han Chen would not just walk away. He must have left clues for himself. Clear clues to know what to do next.

The big head drove the car beside him at the speed of a tortoise crawling. When he reached the intersection, Gu Tingxi got into the car, thought for a moment and said, "Go to the bookstore."

"Going to the bookstore so late, young master, you haven't eaten all day, do you want to eat something first?" Datou was afraid that he would be too sad, so he persuaded him long-windedly.

Gu Tingxi rested his elbows on the window sill, pressed his temples with his knuckles tiredly, and said casually, "Just buy some and go back to the store to eat."

Datou parked the car to the side of the road, seeing that Gu Tingxi didn't want to talk much, so he didn't ask him any more, and ran out of the car to look at the purchase.

The city at night is grotesque. Near the early hours of the morning, the bustling streets are still brightly lit. Drunk men and women cross the road. People who have been restrained by the system for a whole day reveal their most primitive desires under the cover of night. see.

In the daytime, when the sun rose, they changed into rigid and dull suits, tied their ties neatly, and stepped on their polished leather shoes with every step, and then they started a Depressed and repetitive work all day long.

Dusk and dawn are like a signal, affecting people's mentality between day and night.

The exhaustion of the body made Gu Tingxi lose consciousness in this second, but his head became extremely clear, and countless pictures flashed across his mind. Since he had memories, the intersection between him and Han Chen originated from In Puppet Villa, the sudden disappearance of Boss Mao also means that the whole thing was not simple from the beginning.

Before Han Chen left, he lied that he was going to handle the case. Looking back on the scene now, all this happened just between the sudden appearance and disappearance of Boss Mao.

When Datou returned to the car with his hands full of food bags, Gu Tingxi was making a call that would never be answered again. His expression was not anxious, but he repeated it over and over again, as if it was just a line failure. The number is no longer empty.

The big head handed him the hot drink silently, and started the car anxiously.

When he was about to reach the bookstore, Datou finally couldn't help but said: "Young master, the screen of the phone is broken, let's buy another one."

Gu Tingxi pursed his lips and put the phone in his pocket. He still regrets it when he mentioned it. He actually inherited his brother's bad habit of smashing the phone. This phone was bought by Brother Chen last year. Now that the screen is broken, he compares it to Everyone is upset.

"Change the screen for me tomorrow." Gu Tingxi pushed open the door and got out of the car. When he was about to get the key to unlock it, he found that the door was unlocked.

In the past few days after the accident, Xu Jianyang mentioned it to him once. He asked the young girl who worked part-time to close the shop and take a rest for a few days. Now there is still a sign of closing the shop at the door.

Could it be that brother Chen is back!

Gu Tingxi eagerly pushed open the glass door and rushed in. The stairs leading to the second floor were hidden behind another door. Normally, this door was locked to prevent customers from going to the second floor by mistake.

Gu Tingxi stood behind the door, his heart beating fast, he held the doorknob and twisted it hard, and the door was easily opened.

His heart beat fast in an instant, and he ran up the stairs ecstatically.

A small light was on in the open kitchen on the second floor, and the hot air was floating in the air. The hot water in the pot was boiling and making sizzling sounds one after another. The man humming a gentle tune unwrapped the packaging bag and poured out the dumplings. Throw it down.

Gu Tingxi stood behind him, his expression gradually became angry, "Who let you in!"

Bai Wangcheng turned his face away with a smile and said, "What's so strange about me being here? It's not like you don't know that I have a key. Do you want to eat dumplings?"

Gu Tingxi's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Give me back the key!"

Bai Wangcheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled, took out the key from his pocket and threw it out, and said with a smile: "This one is for you, I also have ten spare keys."

Gu Tingxi pulled out the chair in front of the dining table and sat down, then went upstairs one step behind him, and spread out the food in his hand on the table one by one.

Gu Tingxi ignored the dangling body of the big head, and after a long silence, he suddenly said in a daze: "Brother Chen doesn't like others touching his kitchen."

Bai Wangcheng shrugged: "I'm his younger brother, why don't I know?"

"He will clean up the kitchen and wipe every cup without leaving any fingerprints. Although he didn't say it, I can feel it." Gu Tingxi broke off the disposable chopsticks, opened the lunch box and took a bite fried rice.

Bai Wangcheng raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and sat down in front of him with a bowl in his hand.

"when are you leaving?"

Bai Wangcheng slapped his chopsticks on the table, and said with a half-smile, "You drove me away when I just came? I'm so sorry, my brother entrusted me to take care of you before, and I'm going to stay for a long time this time."

Gu Tingxi raised his eyebrows suddenly: "When did it happen?"

"A week ago, what's the matter? Is there a problem?" Bai Wangcheng glanced at him, and said in a normal tone, "By the way, do you know where my brother is?"

Gu Tingxi shook his head sullenly and buried himself in his meal.

Bai Wangcheng looked at his expression, he seemed to have something to say, he blurted out several times but held back abruptly, suddenly changed the subject and said: "I just found out about Uncle today, I'm sorry I didn't send him off for the last time. "

Gu Tingxi pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I have a heart."

Bai Wangcheng looked at him fixedly, the child in front of him still had a sharp-tongued and unforgiving tone, but there were some subtle changes, those originally bright eyes lost the joyful expression of the past, calm as if a The stagnant water is no longer the lazy look of a hippie smile, the body is sitting upright, the black suit and white shirt make him look meticulous, but the slightly red eyes reveal his depressed and fragile emotions.

This is really a face that people can't take their eyes off. All the emotions are written on the face frankly. Even if he is calm when he is pretending to be strong, other emotions can be seen from his expression.

After a brief conversation, Bai Wangcheng dumped the half-eaten dumplings into the trash can, threw the bowls and chopsticks into the sink, turned and entered the room.

Seeing Gu Tingxi's gloomy face, Da Tou hurriedly said, "I'll call that kid out immediately and let him clean the dishes!"

Gu Tingxi took a deep breath. He felt that Bai Wangcheng was lying. When Han Chen left, the two had an agreement. He repeatedly emphasized that he asked him to find him. If so, how could he let Bai Wangcheng take care of him?

Gu Tingxi put down his chopsticks and stood up, "Big head, clean up the kitchen and change all the door locks for me tomorrow! Tell Bai Wangcheng to get out!"

Seeing Gu Tingxi's violent temper, his whole body seemed to have more energy, and he was no longer lifeless. For some reason, the big head suddenly became happy, rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll tell him to get out tomorrow!"

The next day, Datou contacted the person early in the morning, and instead of saying hello to Bai Wangcheng, he changed the lock while he was away, and threw his luggage at the gate by the way.

When Bai Wangcheng came back, he was carrying a bag of chestnuts in his hand. He glanced at the suitcase at the door, and then at Gu Tingxi who was sitting expressionlessly behind the cashier.

He put the chestnuts on the table, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Good Gu Tingxi, you dare to look good to me as soon as my brother disappears, what do you want?"

Gu Tingxi said without raising his head, "Buy the books and take them yourself."

Bai Wangcheng almost laughed angrily at him, he touched his nose to show weakness and said: "Sister-in-law, give me a way out."

Although the word sister-in-law is neither fish nor fowl, it touched Gu Tingxi after all. He raised his head to look at Bai Wangcheng, and after a while he let go and said, "Three chapters of agreement."

"You said."

"First, you are only allowed to use the guest room on the second floor, and you are not allowed to enter other rooms, especially the kitchen. The faucet is not allowed to be turned on. Second, no matter whether eating or taking out is allowed on the second floor, you can eat outside by yourself. Third. , when the bookstore is too busy, you have to help, you have to do physical and mental work.”

Bai Wangcheng leaned on the counter and sneered: "I've done all the work, what are you doing?"

Gu Tingxi pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Huh? Tell me, what are you doing?"

Gu Tingxi sighed slightly, glared at him and said, "I want to go to school!"

Bai Wangcheng was silent for three seconds, and suddenly burst out laughing, "I almost forgot about it, okay, I promise you, give me the key."

"There is no key, I changed the combination lock, I tell you, be honest, or I will change the combination later." Gu Tingxi told him the password, and then called to inform the little girl that she can come to work tomorrow.

Bai Wangcheng gave him a blank look, picked up his luggage and went upstairs.

"Take your chestnut away." Gu Tingxi called to stop him.

"Bought it for you."
