dark crossing

Shen Ting rubbed his slightly red forehead, turned away his face, "Then there may not be many opportunities for you to express yourself." Drooping Eyes said haha ​​casually, "I sleep late and wake up late, when I wake up, It would be nice to make it in time for lunch.”

The smile in Chu Huainan's eyes grew stronger: "Then I have to seize the opportunity today and perform well."

Shen Ting went back to the sofa again, spread out his arms and legs, and told him like a grandpa: "Just make one portion, and we will share it later."

He didn't have much appetite in the morning. He didn't eat much and didn't want to waste food.

More importantly, sharing the same breakfast with Chu Huainan can minimize the possibility of "addition" to the meal.

But as soon as this sentence was finished, the other party's eyes immediately "added material".

This capitalist who washes his hands and makes soup, seems to be afraid that others will not know that his eyelashes are long.The twinkling peach blossom eyes are like two butterflies rushing towards the face.

Across the restaurant, Shen Ting could smell the coquettish vixen of the male vixen. He had an indescribable feeling, so he could only lower his head as if nothing had happened, and continue to use his phone.

Facing this person, Shen Ting always felt offended, and even occasionally had the illusion of being peeped into the depths of his soul.

He himself is also an experienced "predator", and he often observes in the dark, waiting for the prey to be caught.The man looked at him like a wolf looking at a prey that he coveted for a long time.

It's dangerous to be alone with this person.This is Shen Ting's judgment based on intuition, and he believes in his intuition very much.Because of this intuition, in previous actions, it helped him complete the task alive.

Shen Ting told himself repeatedly in his heart, there is no harm in being more cautious at any time.

But his cautiousness made Chu Huainan wrong.

After all, the proposal of "shared breakfast" is, in anyone's eyes, a signal of positive gestures.

At this moment, the atmosphere is just right, and some intimacy is desperately needed.

But the young man who released the signal of intimacy didn't know that he made another request that misunderstood the other party.He was even stingy at giving an extra look to his emotional opponent.

Chu Huainan, who was left out in the cold, was still in a good mood.

He is a very patient capitalist.

Anyone who owes money, owes everything, and whoever does not owe money on credit is a fool.

Fools don't understand that compound interest is the fun of credit.

Shen Ting had heard of Chu Huainan's resolute actions.During the period of tracking the case, he also experienced it personally.It's just that I didn't expect this person to be faster than ordinary people even to cook breakfast.

Considering Shen Ting's habit of "not liking breakfast", the food Chu Huainan prepared, strictly speaking, does not belong to the category of breakfast, but the most classic salmon eggs Benedict in Brunch.

Even making breakfast is comparable to a professional chef, does this person have no dead ends in skills?As a culinary idiot who doesn't distinguish between grains, Shen Ting propped up half of his cheeks, thinking with a slight toothache.

People who are excellent in themselves often disdain to compare with others.But suddenly encountering an opponent who is more versatile than oneself, the mood is always a little delicate.

Sliced ​​toasted grain bread sits at the bottom, curled with thin slices of smoked salmon and a poached egg covered in hollandaise sauce.

All the delicacies are ready, quietly waiting for the two to enjoy.

Gently cut the poached egg with a knife, let the liquid egg yolk burst out, mix it with the hollandaise sauce, soak the toast slices underneath, cut a small piece, and swallow it, it will have a rich taste and clear layers .

Chu Huainan cut it in half and handed it to Shen Ting, "Try it, it's been a long time since I made it. Tomorrow, I'll change to a Chinese one. I'll have to figure out what you like."

Shen Ting didn't know that Aunt Zhao also cooks Chu Huainan's daily meals on weekdays.The phrase "a long time" is expressing emotion that it has been a long time since I have cooked.

Shen Ting, who was particularly dull in some respects, thought that the other party hadn't cooked this dish for a long time, so he took the plate with peace of mind, watched Chu Huainan cut a piece, put it in his mouth, and then lowered his head to eat.

And just like all chefs hope to get comments from gourmets, the capitalists who implement the "breakfast contract system" for their favorite objects frequently cast expectant eyes on the "ruthless" diners who are buried in their love breakfast.

He wants some comments. — about breakfast, or about himself.

No matter how good Shen Ting was at pretending to be indifferent, those two burning gazes never disappeared.He raised his head unbearably, and just about to speak, he choked on the insufficiently chewed grain bread.

Seeing that he was choking, Chu Huainan didn't bother him to ask for this essay on breakfast taste, so he reached out and handed Shen Ting the untouched glass of milk in front of him, "Hurry up and drink some milk."

Shen Ting did need some liquid, but the glass of milk at hand was poured for him by Chu Huainan alone, and he didn't want to drink it.So without thinking, he reached out to pick up the cup in front of Chu Huainan, raised his head and took a long gulp.Chu Huainan just drank this glass of milk, so it should be quite safe.

When he raised his head, the raised jaw had smooth lines and deep contours, and even the slightly protruding edges and corners at the transition of the edges were particularly sexy ups and downs. His swallowing action caused a series of continuous sliding up and down of the Adam's apple.

Seeing him drink, Chu Huainan also felt extremely thirsty.But his drink was in the other party's hand, so he could only lick his lips.

Shen Ting was drinking milk with his head up, but he didn't know that the diners sitting opposite him had hot eyes as if they wanted to eat people.

Even eating a piece of bread can be choked on, this guy who always seems to be there, provocative, has a shallow throat.

Chu Huainan, who was extremely patient, made another silent note in the ledger.

In the following time, both of them ate uncomfortably.

Especially Shen Ting, who was choking on a piece of bread, was really a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Chu Huai Nanji didn't mention this with a wink, but also consciously restrained those two words, and stared unabashedly.

After breakfast, Chu Huainan answered the phone.

Shen Ting, who eats and lives for free, is taking the initiative to shoulder the burden of washing dishes.While wiping the dishes, he did not forget to prick up his ears, concerned about the sound of the phone call.

Words like "Send me the email" and "Got it" came faintly from the living room. They seemed to be talking about work matters?

After answering the phone, Chu Huainan leaned against the kitchen door and apologized, "I have something to do, I have to go to the study for a while."

Shen Ting waved his hands rationally, "Go, go, the business matters."

He also wanted to keep an eye on Chen Cong's progress, wishing that Chu Huainan would disappear quickly, "Don't treat me as a guest, and the guest won't wash your dishes here! Don't worry about me, I'll watch TV by myself Just do it."

Saying that, he put down the dried dishes and nestled back on the sofa again.

This is called a good wife and mother, who is sensible and can do housework.Glancing at the clean dining table and kitchen, Chu Huainan silently raised the corners of his mouth.

……

At ten o'clock, Shen Ting received the flowers from the butler downstairs. — a prodigious bouquet of double-flowered blue carnations.

Seeing it, Shen Ting knew for the first time that carnations also have a charming and glamorous blue color.

This guy turned sex?Instead of roses, send carnations instead?

This huge and delicate bouquet reminded Shen Ting that he hadn't seen Chu Huainan for over an hour.Holding the bouquet of flowers, Shen Ting thought for a while, she felt that it was reasonable and she should "care" and "thank" the flower giver.

"Come in."

There were only two people in the family, and Chu Huainan was very clear about who was standing outside.

It's just that he didn't expect that the other party would be an obedient card who knew to knock on the door before entering.What he didn't expect was that this young man, who in his eyes exudes a contradictory and complex temperament, would hand him a bouquet of flowers.

Shen Ting was holding the flowers, and looked at Chu Huainan calmly, who had been staring at the screen just now. ——His hands were not on the mouse, nor was he typing. He folded his arms and stared at the computer very seriously, blinking only six times in 30 seconds.

Based on the above observations, it was quickly concluded that the other party should have been watching video data just now.

Chu Huainan tapped the space bar, probably for a pause, reached out to take the flowers, and said with a smile, "You bought it? Why are you so polite?" As he spoke, he glanced at the time on the computer screen, thinking The bundle I ordered by myself should be delivered no matter what.

Shen Ting raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you buy it yourself?"

Chu Huainan shook his head, he did buy flowers, but not in this category, nor in this color.As soon as he said "no", he immediately received a call from Lin Youban.

It turned out that this bouquet of flowers was bought by Lin Youbandit.The housekeeper in the lobby downstairs misread the room number and sent the two of them the wrong flowers.

Lin Youband on the other end of the phone was as easy-going as usual, smiling to find reasons for the housekeeper's mistake, "At this time today, there must be a lot of people buying flowers, and mistakes are inevitable. No one will never make mistakes."

Knowing him for so long, Chu Huainan seems to have never seen him anxious, nor has he lost his temper.A gentle person like a spring breeze, always calm and gentle, expressing warm kindness to everyone around him.

"I can't leave now, so I'd like to trouble you to come and pick it up from me, and by the way, bring my handful over here as well."

Chu Huainan looked down at the flowers on his desk. There were no cards, but the semi-transparent frosted paper wrapped around the flowers was filled with various well-known love words.

Among them is the most conspicuous sentence: "This world is crazy, inhuman, and corrupt, but you are always sober, gentle, and spotless." 』

This sentence is indeed like the style of Lin Youband who "takes Lu Xinghe as the center of the world".

After hanging up the phone, seeing Shen Ting's palms resting on the table, Chu Huainan raised his head and met the other party's treacherous face, "According to my observation just now, why do I feel that you don't seem to be at work..." Then Inside and outside, there are malicious teasing.

Chu Huainan shrugged calmly, "If I'm not working, what can I do in the study?"

Shen Ting stretched out a finger, pressed a corner of the notebook, and turned the upright screen to 180 degrees, "You must have been watching a video just now." He smiled wickedly: "Who would read a file without seeing it?" Touch the mouse and keyboard?"

While laughing, he leaned over to look at the computer screen over half of the desk, "However, how unattractive am I that you actually ignore the real person and watch the video?"

Chu Huainan pinched his fingers and straightened the computer screen.

Shen Ting walked around the desk resolutely, "Let me see, what kind of movies does the legendary ascetic Mr. Chu like?"

Chu Huainan laughed angrily at the rich imagination of the person in front of him.

And Shen Ting, who "suspected" that the other party was peeking at the videos alone, walked around behind Chu Huainan, and leaned forward to look at the content on the screen.

He guessed right, Chu Huainan was indeed watching the video.In the paused picture, the truck circled by the red dotted line is the one that Li Songyuan usually drives to deliver goods to the company.

Shen Ting immediately understood that the other party was also investigating Li Songyuan's trajectory.

These videos are taken from different angles than the sky-eye surveillance obtained by the police.It can be seen that it should be monitored by merchants located on both sides of the street.

"This is?" Shen Ting understood, his eyes widened in feigned surprise, "Surveillance?" Then he frowned in disgust, "In broad daylight, are you watching the surveillance in the study?" He rolled his eyes, as if he lost all enthusiasm because the picture was not what he expected.

But soon he figured it out again, pulled a chair over vigorously, and asked while sitting, "Hey, this monitoring is also about that case, right?"

Chu Huainan's extraordinary enthusiasm for the case is puzzling. Shen Ting took the opportunity to ask bluntly: "Didn't we report this matter to the police last night and hand it over to the police? Why are you still investigating? "

Chu Huainan didn't answer him, a small bag bulged slightly between his eyebrows, and he paused for a few seconds before answering irrelevant questions: "I checked with someone, and Li Songyuan's residence is a communal house, and there are no conditions for committing a crime."

Shen Ting said "Ah?" in a particularly "confused" way.

Chu Huainan explained to him patiently: "The one we targeted last night was not the first scene. I don't think the police will arrest him directly."

Hey, this guy is quite familiar with the police system's work style.Shen Ting was grinding her teeth, but her face was still confused and she asked: "So?"

Chu Huainan continued to analyze: "Li Songyuan has a high possibility of killing people, and he has the experience of slaughtering pigs. Killing a person and dividing a corpse is no problem for him."

Shen Ting knew that what he said was true, and in the past hour, the colleagues of the Criminal Investigation Detachment had also carefully investigated the slaughterhouse called Shangfeng.He knew more about Li Songyuan's occupation and workplace than Chu Huainan.

However, the investigation shows that the slaughterhouse where Li Songyuan works has a relatively formal process.Every link in the slaughter workshop is strictly controlled, and 24-hour monitoring is fully open.Therefore, there is no possibility that Li Songyuan would bring Chen Feng and a large living person into the slaughter workshop, kill and dismember the corpse.

As for the Iveco van with the words "Shangfeng Food" written on Chu Huainan's computer screen, it was Li Songyuan's work vehicle.He is in charge of cold chain delivery at Shangfeng.

Through monitoring, it is not difficult to find that on the day of Chen Feng's disappearance, Li Songyuan only stayed in a brine shop for a long time.As for the brine shop, Shen Ting's colleagues have already checked it out.

That day, Li Songyuan did take some pieces of meat and asked the proprietress to cook them.And the part of the body that was dumped on the pedestrian street was indeed mixed with some cooked meat.

But even if the brine shop did help him boil some of the corpses, where exactly was the place where he committed the crime?This question that troubled the police also made Chu Huainan fall into deep thought.

"Forget it, don't read it." He closed the laptop and stretched his stiff shoulders a little.

Shen Ting immediately agreed: "Professional things should be left to professional people." She curled her lips towards the closed screen, "This thing is more effective than a lullaby, and it makes me sleepy."

Chu Huainan was amused by him, and stuffed the bouquet of flowers on the table, which had been neglected for a long time, into his arms, "Then let's go and do some work together, which you can do?"
