merit book

The day when Rong Yuan returned to school, it happened to be raining.

The sky was gloomy, and the continuous rain woven into a hazy curtain.The cold winter has passed, and the dry branches are quietly covered with gorgeous brocade: clusters of plum blossoms are blooming on the branches, cherry blossoms are swaying, white magnolias are in full bloom elegantly, and clusters of purple-blue grape hyacinths bow their heads shyly. .There are also camellias, cherries, begonias, rhododendrons and other flowers vying to bloom, spreading out the entire city a like a sea of ​​flowers and green fields. In the drizzle, the petals dotted with teardrops become more and more beautiful.

Xiao Xiaoruo, who was sitting by the window, raised his head in response. Through the window, he saw an umbrella with a blue background and white stars "floating" in from the school gate. The person holding the umbrella walked unhurriedly, looking from above. , only a pair of white sneakers under the umbrella can be seen.

Xiao Xiao raised his left hand up, his index finger and thumb formed a circle, just enough to enclose the umbrella in it, and moved along with it until he couldn't see it.

"What are you doing?" The boy next to her looked at her movements in puzzlement and asked in a low voice.It is the time for morning self-study, and the English teacher is sitting at the front to supervise them to recite words and texts, and has already glanced here several times.

Xiao Xiao put down her hands, smiled lightly, and didn't speak.When the boy took a look at her, he couldn't help but blush.

……

The process of Rong Yuan returning to class was silent.He entered through the back door, found his own seat, threw his schoolbag into the desk cabinet, and fell asleep on his stomach. The classmates sitting in front of him didn't even notice that there was an extra person behind him.

He and Pea spent most of the night sorting out last night, finding out all the people who reported missing to the police within a week after September 9. After screening and comparing them one by one, they finally confirmed the identities of most of the people who were on the No. 11 bus at that time. .

None of them was a policeman, soldier or similar, that is to say, no one had the possibility of riding in a car with a gun.

——So, where did that bullet casing come from?

Rong Yuan picked up the bullet casing from the wreckage of the bus, and analyzed the traces on the bullet casing with an optical brain, and obtained information such as the number of rifling, depth, width, and the quality of the gun's bore. A comparison of established archives for traces of fired ammunition revealed that none of the recorded guns matched the traces left on this cartridge case.

—Who brought this gun onto the bus?Under what circumstances was the shot fired?Do people who carry guns also die in the flames?Or did the bus get off before it hit the gas station?What about himself?At that time, he was just an ordinary middle school student. How did he escape alone when everyone else died?

Too many questions to answer.But Rong Yuan felt that he was only one step away from the answer, as soon as a layer of window paper was pierced, the truth of the matter would unfold to him.

Before that, there was nothing to think about but to wait.With limited clues, it is also necessary to ensure the secrecy of the investigation and avoid attracting the attention of certain people.

Lying on the table in a drowsy sleep, Rong Yuan suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, the fragrance is very faint, but very unique, like... like after the rain, mixed with the fragrance of sunshine, soil, green grass and flowers Humid air, extremely fresh and comfortable.On the back of the right finger on the arm, something slipped over, like soft silk or brocade, cold and silky, making people nostalgic.

Rong Yuan opened his eyes, and saw a strange girl sitting next to him, looking sideways at him with her left hand on her chin, her long black hair hanging down, and a strand fell on the back of his finger.

Rong Yuan sat up and asked unhappily, "Who are you?"

Maybe it's because he has lived alone since he was a child. He has a strong sense of territory like a solitary wild animal, and he hates other people's intrusion into his territory without permission.Because of this repulsion, he was completely indifferent to the girl's moon-like appearance.

"It's the first time we met. I'm Xiao Xiao. I just transferred to this class. Please take care of me in the future." Xiao Xiao seemed to be very happy, smiling all the time.For the past few days, the students who have always felt that she is not easy to get close to her like the flower of the high mountain can't believe their eyes.

"Hello." Rong Yuan said coldly, he was still in a bad mood, he turned his head and flipped through a book, and it was obvious that he didn't want to continue the conversation.

"I know your name is Rong Yuan, I've wanted to see you for a long time." Xiao Xiao continued as if she couldn't understand his expression.

——It turns out that the goddess transferred here with a purpose?Did she already have her own heart?Rong Yuan, that bastard, is too hateful!

The boys in the class who had a crush on Xiao Xiao were all gnashing their teeth, trying to kill the proper winner in life with their eyes.

——Are you going to confess?Are you going to confess?God!So bold!So brave! ...I'm so looking forward to it, what should I do?

The girls quietly pricked up their ears, feeling their little hearts beating, both excited and excited.

Rong Yuan closed the book, looked at Xiao Xiao, and waited for her next words.He didn't feel that there was a confession in the girl's words. When their eyes made contact, he felt that there were many complicated things hidden in the girl's eyes, which were far from being as clear as other girls of the same age.

Xiao Xiao changed the subject, and said: "Speaking of which, the library in City A is really big, and the collection of books is beyond imagination. I went around casually, and found a lot of books that I hadn't read before. Now the knowledge is updated. The speed of the change is too fast, and it often makes people feel that if they are not careful, they will be left behind the times... Do you like reading?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Rong Yuan asked back.

"Just ask." Xiao Xiao pushed the book in front of Rong Yuan to Rong Yuan, tapped his fingers twice, and said, "If you haven't read it, I recommend you to read it."

She glanced down and then turned back, with an intimate smile on her lips, but her tone was meaningful.

Rong Yuan glanced at it, this is a book similar to Buddhist scriptures that encourages people to be good, there are many books of this kind of chicken soup for the soul, most of them have good reviews, but the sales volume is not high.

The title of the book is "Speaking Kindness: Infinite Merits".

Xiao Xiao's finger happened to be on the word "merit".

Just when the whole class thought that Rong Yuan would say "not interested" to keep the beauty from coming to the stage, Rong Yuan pulled the book over, flipped through a few pages, and then seemed to be attracted by the content, his eyes fixed Stick to it and don't move.The others couldn't help scratching their hearts and lungs curiously, wanting to know what interesting content was written in the book that fascinated him so much, and they secretly made up their minds to go to the library to borrow a copy after school.

When the class bell rang, Xiao Xiao got up and returned to her seat.Rong Yuan closed the book, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Xiao Xiao's back, his gaze was uncertain.

——The content of the book is nothing bizarre.Bizarrely, the bookmark that the girl tucked into the pages of the book.

Rong Yuan closed his eyes, remembering the scene he saw when he opened the book - when the black and white pages slid down, revealing half a flat paper crane caught in it, on the paper, there was still his own handwriting.

He clenched his fist under the table for a moment, and it took almost all of his strength to control his expression so that it didn't change much.

——Xiao Xiao?Surname Xiao?Is she...

"Xiao Yuan? Xiao Yuan?"

Rong Yuan suddenly came back to his senses, and found Jin Yang waving his hand in front of him, grabbed it off, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You still ask me what's wrong, I should ask you that." Jin Yang looked at him worriedly, and asked, "What were you thinking just now? I called you several times but didn't hear... Also, your hands Why is it so cold?"

"It's nothing, the weather is a bit cold." Rong Yuan looked around and found that there were only the two of them in the whole class, and asked, "Where did everyone go?"

"This is PE class. Everyone else has gone to the playground, let's go down quickly!" Jin Yang said as he pulled him up.

When the two ran to the playground, Rong Yuan saw Xiao Xiao standing in the front row of the team at a glance.She is doing warm-up exercises with everyone, but Xiao Xiao's actions are much more standard and serious than many people's perfunctory.Driven by her, many students who used to be lazy can't help but become more serious.

Xiao Xiao seemed to be aware of Rong Yuan's gaze, she didn't look back, but there was a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

The physical education teacher saw that Rong Yuan and Jin Yang were the two who came late, without saying much, he waved them back to the team.Rong Yuan moved his wrists and ankles casually, while observing Xiao Xiao's back in front of him.

He had to admit that now he had some very bad thoughts in his mind, but there was a reason that prevented him from acting rashly.

——Xiao Xiao's merit value is very high.

The world Rong Yuan sees is slightly different from the world seen by ordinary people.Because of the eyes of the sky, in his eyes, a row of numbers appeared above everyone's head, which was the merit value of this person.Because these numbers are small and basically black, if you don't pay attention, they are like a part of hair, so although they look a bit strange, they will basically not cause troubles in daily life. If you don't look at them deliberately, you may even notice arrive.

After Xiao Xiao said something similar to the confession notice, Rong Yuan took a closer look at her and found that the merit value on top of her head was the highest positive merit value he had seen for a long time, a total of 15 points .

This also means that if he hurts this girl, his own merit points will be deducted very miserably.

But what feats do ordinary teenage girls have to do to obtain such a high merit value?

……

"boom!"

After the dull sound, a thick pile of documents was placed on the table, causing the entire wooden table to make pitiful creaking sounds.Looking again, the four large wooden tables are all piled up with materials as high as a hill.

The top sheet of paper trembled and floated down. On the paper was a photo of a man who looked like a social elite, and there was more than one photo. There were four photos of the front, two profiles, and close-ups.Seeing that the piece of paper was about to fall to the ground, a hand reached out in time to grab it.

Jiang Quan put the piece of paper on top of the paper pile, rubbed his sore arm after carrying it, and said to Shu Qi: "Leader, these are all the results."

Shao Baoer sat on the chair next to her, looking up at the pile of materials as high as a hill, her eyes were like mosquito coils.Thinking of the miserable overtime days in the future, she felt that her life was dull.

Shu Qi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thanks for your hard work." Then he said to the other people in the investigation team beside the table: "Everyone, this is the feature screened out by the police in City A after investigating and analyzing the 500 million permanent residents. All eligible candidates. Here, we would like to thank the 82 police officers who participated in this work. Without knowing the purpose or reason, they completed the task within the specified time with quality and quantity. The rest , is our job—in this thousand and eighty-two, we will further screen and narrow down the suspects to less than 50 people, this is the first step of our crow hunting plan!"

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.They only knew a rough idea of ​​the crow hunting plan that Shu Qi made, but it was just an outline, which convinced everyone to be the team leader.

"He Xin, how is the work of the technical team going?" Shu Qi asked again.

"The new communication system has been established, but whether it can resist the invasion of crows is still unknown until it has been tested in practice. Therefore, I suggest that it is still forbidden to carry and use any modern electronic instruments and communication equipment in important documents and meetings. "He Xin said: "In addition, all the planned cameras in the key monitoring area have been paralyzed, accounting for about [-]% of the total. All of them occur naturally, and will not arouse the vigilance and suspicion of crows in a short period of time."

"Well, very good." Shu nodded in approval. He knew how difficult this job is. He Xin even made a careful plan and plan for the scrapping process of each camera, and now it is in the crow without a trace. The holes poked out in the surveillance system have been connected into a net, completing the preparatory work for the Crow Hunting Project.And He Xin himself lost a lot of weight.

Shu Qi stood up straight, looked around everyone, and said: "My colleagues, I know that you have completed many difficult tasks before, but now is not an easy time. Our future work will only be more difficult. Because we have to deal with The energy and technical level of the target are unprecedented. This plan does not seek to wipe out all the crows, as long as one of the tails is caught, it will be our victory. Before that, let me replace the wine with tea and offer you a toast! "
