What happened to Isaac?

After the short holiday of Christmas, the tasks of heaven are piled up one after another.

Xavier runs a lumber business by himself, and he has to run around extra. When he is the busiest, he often has to call on his own succubus to help. Later, he used to call him for help when doing other things. Over time, Isaac undoubtedly became a An integral part of the Xavier family.Sometimes he would stay out all night without saying hello, and the angel would feel a little lonely sitting on the empty dining table.

Although the little angel didn't say anything, he would definitely come up with a plausible reason to harass Isaac the next day.For example, this day, as soon as 7:[-] in the morning, Xavier woke up Isaac, who had only come home to sleep at dawn, and asked him to help deliver things.

"I really want to punch you, capitalist," Isaac buried his head in the pillow, "can't you go by yourself when you're even dressed?"

"Capitalists don't work," Xavier shoved a bottle of stuff into Isaac's arms involuntarily, "deliver this to the place where you went to find me last time."

"The Ritz Hotel?"

"No, last time."

"The apartment where the Asian lives?"

"That's right," Xavier said, "Also, you tell him that the reagent inside can show a very small amount of blood stains, which is suitable for the scene that has been cleaned. Its luminescence time is very short, so take pictures as soon as possible."

"Is there such a thing in the world?" Isaac bit his index finger, dripped a drop of blood on the floor, wiped the blood away with his toes, and then sprayed some reagent, and the ground suddenly showed a faint blue fluorescence, in the form of wiping.

Isaac was taken aback: "Crazy, Xavier. How can you give magic potions to ordinary humans?"

"It's not magic, Isaac." Xavier took out a handkerchief and pressed Isaac's small wound to stop the bleeding. "You have to believe in science."

Xavier didn't explain the chemical reaction to him, and Isaac wasn't curious either. He just resigned to his fate and got up and got dressed with a sigh. He didn't comb his hair or shave his beard. Walk.

"Go home early," Xavier urged at the door before leaving, "Also, don't let me be called by the police to appreciate your ass again, it's shameful."

Hearing this, Isaac blushed and snorted heavily.

Last month, Isaac was involved in a burglary, but when he fled, his butt got stuck in the window and he couldn't move. Until the police arrived after drinking a cup of tea, the big butt was still stuck on the window and twisted around.Because the grip was too tight, if the police wanted to take Isaac away, they had to try to get him off the wall first. They pushed and pulled, and finally had to remove the window frames on both sides, and then they handcuffed him away.

Xavier was called to Scotland Yard, and before he reached the door, he heard a burst of laughter inside.He poked a puzzled head in, and his voice suddenly stopped.

"Sorry, what's going on here?" Xavier asked.

"Nothing, Mr. Xavier," said the constable, turning his head. "I'm thinking of something to be happy about."

Xavier pointed to Isaac who was sitting on the bench next to him with a displeased face: "Then what happened to this man?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just this gentleman... poof."

Xavier was dumbfounded by the laughter.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xavier, we are professionally trained, no matter how funny, we will not laugh unless we can't help it."

Xavier: ?

After finally listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Xavier also joined the goose team. This is the only time in his life that the stingy angel took out money with a smile on his face. Even on the way home, he turned his head and saw Isaac's stinky face , it is difficult to suppress the happy laughter.

When they got home, Daisy saw Xavier's happy face and asked casually, "Did anything good happen, Mr. Xavier?"

"It's nothing." Xavier took a sip of wine to calm down, "I think of something happy."

A long tail slapped the floor hard.

Although the bruise on the buttocks healed quickly, Isaac left a long and deep shadow in his heart.Whenever Xavier mentioned this matter, he immediately exploded.

"I won't come back at night." Isaac murmured for a long time, and ran away after leaving such a sentence.

**

Isaac said he would not come back tonight, but he got home before dinner.

He saw Xavier sitting opposite the widow who was interested in him in front of the French windows.Xavier was wearing nothing but a shirt, a sleeveless sweater, and no wax, his blond hair pinned loose behind his ears.When he lowered his head to write something, a strand of hair slid down his cheek, and Xavier raised his head and smiled shyly.

Isaac had never seen him meet outsiders in such a casual attire, let alone such an innocent smile like a mentally handicapped one.

His eyes wandered between them for a moment, his tail slapping the ground irritably at first, then drooping after Xavier smiled at the woman a fourth time.He was about to leave, but Xavier just turned his head and happened to see Isaac, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.The lady followed, and Xavier sighed and nodded at him.

"Come in," said Xavier's mouth.

Isaac had no choice but to enter the house, kicked off his shoes, said hello to the two people on the sofa, and hurried back to the room, regretting rejecting the strange man he met today.He should know that "go home early" is just a polite phrase, and feel that he couldn't be more stupid.

At dinner time, Daisy knocked on the door and asked Isaac if he would go down to eat.Isaac said yes first, but Daisy was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced downstairs, but didn't move away from the door immediately.

Isaac changed his words and said, "Forget it, I didn't shave today."

Her shoulders visibly relaxed, and she asked, "Then I'll bring it to you later, Mr. Isaac?"

"No," said Isaac, "no need."

He closes the door.

At around 8pm, a Bentley was parked downstairs, its lights illuminating the front yard.Standing at the window, Isaac saw Xavier send the woman out, opened the door for her, and before helping her into the car, leaned against her ear and said something, then stood there and watched the car go away.When he turned, the joy on his face stung Isaac like a scorpion's tail.

knock knock.

This is Xavier's way of knocking on the door. It is not as careful as Daisy, and it sounds like a master.Isaac sat on the bed and didn't want to answer the door, but Xavier opened the door and poked his head in: "Daisy left some food, I warmed it up for you, come down and eat."

Isaac refused.

"There's fried fish, ragout and red wine, but if you like, you can substitute..."

"You probably forgot something, Xavier. I'm a succubus. I don't need dinner, as long as I have a man." Isaac said calmly.He stood up and shut Xavier out.

After a while, Xavier whispered through the door, "I feel like you're attacking me personally again for not being a man."

His tone was so aggrieved, Isaac didn't want to laugh at first, but he couldn't help being amused.

"Dong dong, the angel knocked on the door," Xavier knocked on the door with a muffled voice, "let me in."

Isaac sighed and lifted the latch. Xavier pushed the door open and put the dinner plate on the small coffee table.They sat facing each other, and Xavier, as usual, talked about what happened during the day, trying to act as if everything was normal.

Isaac responded casually, squeezed lemon juice on the fried fish, and then took a sip of the remaining lemon habitually, noticing that Xavier frowned insignificantly.After a while, he felt a fishbone stuck between his teeth again, and he licked it solemnly for a long time, but he couldn't get it out, and tried to put his hand in his mouth to pick.Xavier frowned again, but quickly opened up another topic.

"You don't have to force yourself to keep talking," Isaac said, "I don't want to eat with you, just think about it."

Xavier suddenly fell silent as if some switch had been touched.He seemed embarrassed, and opened his mouth to call Isaac's name, but it stuck in his throat, as if it was a very long fishbone.That's when he suddenly realized something insignificant. Isaac had never called him Langdon.

Isaac glanced at him and avoided the topic by himself: "Will you marry her?"

"what?"

"The widow."

"Why do you think so?"

"You brought her home."

"She wanted to invest in a few factories, and came to see if it was feasible."

Isaac shrugged noncommittally, and Xavier went on to explain: "I analyzed the pros and cons of each factory for her, and finally suggested that she invest all the money she planned to invest in these factories to me."

"Is that why you always smile at her? I saw you were very close to her before you left." Isaac asked.

Xavier did not answer immediately, but asked with a half-smile: "Are you interrogating me?"

Isaac stood up suddenly, walked to the window, turned his back to Xavier: "No."

"But I'm willing to tell you," Xavier stuck to Isaac from behind, maintaining a decent but unusually ambiguous distance, "Oh... I really hope you will trust me more."

Xavier's tone was like whispering to his lover, but when he looked up and saw his sincere and upright expression, it made people suspect that he was thinking too much.Isaac thought that if he was a widow with ample money and no investment direction, he might throw all his money on Xavier in a daze.

"Why do you want so much money?" Isaac asked.

Xavier was silent for a moment, then took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and Isaac smoked one from it, and so did he.After scraping off the lighter cover, the two gathered together to light a cigarette. After a pause, Xavier said, "In the beginning, I just hoped that I could drink clean water every day."

He turned his head and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. In those blue eyes, half of the words remained self-evident.

Isaac fell silent.

It suddenly occurred to him that he only wanted a storage room in the first place.

The reagent given by Xavier is actually luminol, which is very common in modern criminal investigations. Luminol was first synthesized in the 19th century, but it was actually put into use after 1928, at least 8 years later than the current background time.
