Christmas

"I'm a little flattered that Mr. Shi said that."

Duan Qinghe took the initiative to speak with a smile.

The expression on Shi Xie's face was still flat, and he let go of Xia Yao's hand. Compared with Duan Qinghe Shi Xie who always had a gentle face, Shi Xie looked a little cold and heartless.

"Mr. Duan helped our family Xia Yao so much, I am also very grateful."

"Where, Xiao Wu is my friend."

No matter how stupid Xia Yao was, he could still hear the thorns in Shi Xie and Duan Qinghe's words. He pulled Shi Xie's sleeve in embarrassment, and he didn't know what kind of jealousy Shi Xie was eating. How could Qinghe have that kind of thought for him.

"Okay, since the case has been reported and it's getting late, everyone should go back first, and we will probably get the news by this time tomorrow."

Xu Wen walked over at the right time to resolve the unprovoked war, and Xia Yao immediately gave her a grateful look.

"That's right, I didn't notice that it's almost seven o'clock now."

Xiao Lin looked at the watch in his hand and agreed with Xu Wen's words. After all, it is useless for them to wait here now.No matter how efficient the police are, they still have to wait until tomorrow to investigate some clues.

"Hurry up and pack up, everyone."

Xu Wen clapped her hands and began to chase away people. Xiao Lin, Sister Lu and Wang Yao also understood her strong personality and said goodbye to Xia Yao and the others, and went to the locker room to change.

After watching everyone packed up and left, Xia Yao let go of Shi Xie's sleeve, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.Can't help but look at Shi Xie and then at Duan Qinghe, Xia Yao finally chose to change clothes first.

Seeing that Xia Yao was gone, Xu Wen casually walked over to Shi Xie, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder as if she had just come by, and said in a rather low voice.

"Brother-in-law, the road is long and long."

Shi Xie turned to look at her, his face was paralyzed, extremely cold.

"Cousin, Mom said that she missed you recently, and asked you to go there when you have time. She said that she has some new photos in her hand recently, which probably suit your taste."

Xu Wen choked at what Shi Xie said, and when she thought of her aunt who happily introduced men to her, Xu Wen felt a toothache.

He glared viciously at the tall and straight Shi Xie. He didn't expect him to say such a thing. I didn't see it before. Now it seems that Shi Xie is such a boring person. No wonder Xia Yao, that little fool, was eaten by him. dead.

And from Shi Xie's cousin and mother just now, he has already explained his relationship with Xia Yao, and he has perfectly expressed his ownership of Xia Yao to everyone, but this also just shows Shi Xie's strong love for Xia Yao possessive.

With an annoyed snort, Xu Wen turned her head not to look at Shi Xie.Fortunately, she was still worried about them just now, it turned out that Xia Yao and Shi Xie, the co-authors, just regarded these jealousies as ordinary interests.Even the protagonist is not tired of it and even enjoys it a little bit, so it's better not to participate as an outsider.

Xu Wen gritted her teeth, young people nowadays...

"It's nothing, I'll go first, and come back tomorrow."

Naturally understanding Shi Xie's threat like a beast marking the field, Duan Qinghe smiled nonchalantly and said politely.

The smile on his face was still as fresh as a spring breeze, and what happened just now didn't leave any marks on his face, with a frank look.

"Then I'll be with you too. This key belongs to the store. Remember to lock the door when you leave."

Xu Wen directly handed the key to Shi Xie and ordered.

Shi Xie nodded symbolically, and leaned on the bar counter to play with the keys in his hand.

Duan Qinghe didn't stay any longer, and left the coffee shop with Xu Wen.

The coffee shop suddenly fell silent, only the occasional sound of metal collisions could be heard.

So when Xia Yao came out, he could only see Shi Xiezheng leaning on the bar counter and casually tossing a bunch of keys.

"They've all gone?"

"Well, Duan Qinghe has left too."

Hearing Shi Xie's indifferent tone, he also deliberately proposed Duan Qinghe.Xia Yao couldn't help laughing. In fact, Shi Xie was really jealous sometimes.

Putting down the bag in his hand, Xia Yao walked to Shi Xie's side, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him lightly on the corner of his lips. As expected, Shi Xie's face softened a lot.

"Duan Qinghe just regards me as a friend, there is no other meaning at all. Besides, the person I like the most is you." Xia Yao's confession successfully evaporated Shi Xie's jealousy, and he finally couldn't hold back anymore. Controlling the expression on his face, he sighed helplessly, lowered his head and kissed Xia Yao's forehead.

"I know, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Eat Sichuan cuisine, if you want spicy food."

"No, let's go home and eat something light."

"Then you still ask me where to eat!"

Letting go of Xia Yao, Shi Xie returned to his original facial paralysis. Although Xia Yao complained, his heart softened.Looking at Shi Xie's broad back, Xia Yao hurriedly followed him, walking side by side with him, letting the setting sun fall behind them

It gets longer and longer.

When Xia Yao and Shi Xie came to the coffee shop the next day, they saw an acquaintance, it was Han Hao whom they met not long ago.He still looked like he couldn't wake up, but the smell of cigarettes on his body was much lighter. When he saw Shi Xie and the others coming in, he waved

With.

"You are here." Captain Han. "

Xia Yao and Shi Xie greeted him respectively, and Xia Yao hurriedly asked about the progress of the matter.

"We investigated the surveillance video at your back door, Mizi was indeed at the back door at [-]:[-] in the morning

Take out the trash.

But just as she finished taking out the garbage, that is, at 22:[-], a person wearing a black sportswear and a black peaked cap came from the other end.

He said something to Mizi at that time, and then Mizi followed him away.

Judging from his body shape, it should be a man, and he was standing with his back facing the camera, so his face could not be seen clearly.

So we guess that this person may be familiar with this area, or has been here for a long time.But although there are not many pedestrians coming and going at the back door, there are still some. We adjusted the surveillance a few days ago and found no suspicious people. "

Han Hao's words completely shattered Xia Yao's fluke mentality.Turning around, she saw Xu Wen talking on the phone, with an apology on her face, and Sister Lu was standing beside her.But Xiao Lin and Wang Yao have not come yet, and Duan Qinghe is not here, only Han Hao and a young police officer brought by him, and this young police officer is the police officer Xiao Ji who was possessed by resentment last time.

"Then what should we do now? Where is Mizi?"

Xia Yao's question made Han Hao frowned, and he habitually wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when his hand touched the pocket, it was empty.He paused, and had no choice but to pull his hand out of his pocket and rubbed his face fiercely.

"We are also investigating now. If it is a kidnapping, then the prisoner should also be profitable, so we...

"

Before Han Hao finished speaking, the police officer Xiao Ji who had just returned from answering the phone pulled Han Hao's clothes solemnly.

Seeing Xiao Ji's expression, Han Hao looked at Shi Xie and Xia Yao again, thought for a while before speaking.

"It's okay, just talk here."

Xiao Ji nodded, and began to talk about the news from the police station just now.

"Someone came to report just now. Like the previous cases, the girl has been missing for two days, and the same portrait was found in the girl's room."

After Xiao Ji finished speaking, Han Hao's brows were already tightly wrinkled.As for Shi Xie and Xia Yao, they were both in the dark, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

"Captain Han, is there a girl missing too? Could it be the same person who kidnapped Mizi?"

"I don't completely rule out this possibility. I checked the back door before I came today, but I didn't find that portrait. Go back to her house and look for it. If there is one, then it is."

"What do you mean? What portrait?"

Shi Xie frowned, Xiao Ji's words contained a lot of information, and another girl disappeared as in the previous incidents, with the same portrait.These all show that this is a serial kidnapping case.

"To tell you the truth, we have received more than a dozen cases of disappearances in the past month or so since the end of the incident at the clinic. The missing objects are all young girls. And when we investigated at their homes, we Found a similar portrait, this one."

As he said that, Han Hao took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took out a photo and handed it to Shi Xie and the others.

In the photo, I saw an abstract painting with very strong colors, a lot of red and black paints were used on it, and the lines were also very messy, densely spread on the white paper, which looked very depressing.

"Every girl who went missing has this portrait in their room, so we can tell it's the same person.

But this person hid it too deeply. It was a long time after the parents of those girls reported the crime. We don't even know where the girls disappeared.

Moreover, the prisoner didn't seem to be doing it for money, and there was no movement after kidnapping the girls, so there has been no progress in this case until now. "

Han Hao kept touching his nose with his thumb, as if he was addicted to cigarettes.Seeing his distressed look, Shi Xie took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him.Although he doesn't smoke, he carries it with him because he is going to take over the store recently.

Han Hao quickly took it, ordered one and took a deep breath, before he relaxed a little.

"Then those girls..."

Xia Yao held the bag in his hand with a troubled expression on his face, Han Hao took a long puff of smoke, stared at the white smoke floating in the air, and said softly.

"Life or death is uncertain."
