Chapter 23 Life and Death

Lu Yuan woke up very early in the morning, and stared at the ceiling for a long time before realizing that he was lying on the bed at Han Xu's house.Han Xu was sleeping on the sofa in the living room, still not awake, and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Lu Yuan washed up casually, and wanted to leave quietly, but hesitated for a while, and left a note for Han Xu: I'm at work, call me when you wake up.

The early morning air made Lu Yuan feel that the chaos of the night had been relieved. He took a taxi and had to go back to No. 19 before going to work. Click to find Su Mo.He had a vague feeling that if he wanted to know something from Su Mo, it might be more effective to ask directly than to look it up slowly.

When I walked into the gate of the courtyard, I happened to meet the salesman opposite who looked dull every day. As usual, he was holding his bag with a gloomy face.Seeing Lu Yuan, he lowered his head and passed by. Lu Yuan's polite smile hadn't fully spread on his face, so he had to put it away.Looking at the back of the man leaving in a hurry, he sighed.

He would rather be with ghosts than with such people.

The door of Su Mo's room was closed, and he might not have gotten up yet.

Lu Yuan opened the door of his room, and Liuliu immediately stood up in the cage, wagging his tail and moaning aggrievedly.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it," Lu Yuan released Liuliu, poured water and soaked it in dog food, "If you must complain, go to Meng Fanyu..."

After tidying up Liuliu's cage, he sat in the room in a daze for a while, and heard that the tenants upstairs and downstairs all got up and went out. He stretched his head to see that Su Mo's room was still closed, and there was no sign of getting up.

What the hell is he doing?Wake up in the morning, don't sleep at night.Lu Yuan looked at the time, and decided to go directly to knock on the door, and wake up as soon as he wakes up.

"Su Mo." Lu Yuan knocked on the door and called out.

There was no response from inside, so he knocked again, still no sound.Didn't get up?Lu Yuan couldn't help but glanced back at the corridor. He didn't know why he made this movement, maybe it was because Su Mo would quietly appear behind him when he entered Su Mo's room last time.There was no one in the corridor, Lu Yuan smiled, wondering if he was a little bewitched.

When he turned around and wanted to knock on the door again and leave, he froze.

Su Mo leaned against the door frame and looked at him quietly.

"You..." Lu Yuan didn't know what to say, how did you manage to be so silent?Have you ever practiced light work?Or have you ever been a thief?

"What's the matter?" Su Mo asked lightly, not paying attention to the surprised expression on his face.

"Do you have time? I have something to ask you." Lu Yuan withdrew his thoughts.

"Yes," Su Mo replied, turned around and went back to the room, and sat on a chair, "Ask."

Lu Yuan had never met someone like Su Mo. His own people were still standing outside the door, and he didn't say please come in or sit down, and just asked directly.

"The scent of flowers last time, you said it was a crabapple." Lu Yuan had no choice but to walk into the room by himself, and sat on the table by the door, "What's going on? I mean...how did the scent in your room come from?" ?”

"Just ask this? Is there anything else?" Su Mo looked down at his hands and asked absently.

"...Yes." Lu Yuan frowned.

"ask."

"Didn't I ask..." Lu Yuan really wanted to go over and see if Su Mo was still asleep.

"Ask something else first." Su Mo looked up at him and smiled.

Lu Yuan sighed, is this a refusal to answer?If he refused to answer this question, he would not know how to ask other questions. He thought for a while and asked directly, "Do you know about the murder on Pingning West Street?"

"Well, I saw it in the newspaper."

"I smelled that kind of flower fragrance at the scene." Lu Yuan saw that Su Mo lowered his head and started to look at his hands again. He simply walked to him and bent down to look at his face. The kind that have been there."

"How?" Su Mo smiled, raised his eyes and looked back at him, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"That's why I'm here to ask you the previous question." Lu Yuanbiao started, and he had to admit that he had a strange feeling towards Su Mo at this moment, that feeling of repulsiveness and involuntary attraction.

"Why don't you ask others, didn't I tell you that it was a crabapple flower?"

"Because no one else can smell it."

After saying this, Lu Yuan stared at Su Mo, wanting to see his reaction.Su Mo didn't have a special reaction, as if it was normal for others not to smell it, he stretched out his finger and scratched Lu Yuan's chin: "Do you want to ask why others can't smell it, or whether the smell is Where did it come from?"

"Think about it." Lu Yuan stood up straight, avoiding Su Mo's hand.

Su Mo withdrew his hand, and his eyes fell on his hand again. After a long silence, he said softly: "What do you think people are like after death."

"...I don't know." Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment. He wanted to put it in the past. His answer was very simple. His body cooled down, resulting in plaques, then stiffened and rotted... If he was lucky, he would turn into a mummified corpse or something. But now he can only answer that he doesn't know.

Su Mo didn't speak, stood up and walked to the window, tapping on the window lattice with his fingers.Lu Yuan looked at Su Mo's back, and for a moment he had the illusion that the person standing there was Meng Fanyu.

The lonely aura emanating from the inside out when they stood in front of the window and looked out was strikingly similar.

"There's nothing scary about ghosts, and there's nothing strange about having ghosts." Su Mo turned around and leaned against the window, his face hidden in the darkness because of the backlight. Poor bastard, stuck between life and death."

Lu Yuan looked at Su Mo, he heard these words speciously, and didn't know what Su Mo wanted to express.

Stuck between life and death?

"Half dead..." Lu Yuan sat down on the chair and continued.He felt that he shouldn't have said such a sentence, it sounded very disruptive to the atmosphere, but it was indeed his doubt, "If you die, don't you become a ghost, reincarnation or something, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, you won't leave What, monks and priests, give me a sutra to send away..."

Lu Yuan stopped talking halfway through. He heard these things before, or he just watched ghost movies or something. He thought it was superstition and psychological comfort. At this moment, the effect is really good. It's weird, like I'm joking.

Su Mo was really amused: "You know a lot."

"What I mean is... trapped between life and death, why?" Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed by Su Mo's smile, and changed the subject for a while.

"Enlighten it yourself." Su Mo suddenly put away his smile and replied lightly.

Lu Yuan froze for a moment, feeling a little annoyed, what is this?Su Mo walked around with him for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything, so he threw in a sentence and planned to end it by himself?

"You just have to tell me what the scent is about." Lu Yuan frowned, really wanting to get Su Mo to Cheng Bo, whoever cares about you, once Cheng Bo's door is closed, within 24 hours, you will be tormented Life is better than death, everything can jump out.

Su Mo looked at him silently as if he didn't hear him.

"My girlfriend is missing," Lu Yuan suppressed his emotions, and walked up to Su Mo, "In front of me, she disappeared in my bedroom, a living person..."

"She won't come back." Su Mo interrupted him.

"What?" Lu Yuan was startled, and grabbed Su Mo's arm, "What did you say?"

"I can't come back," Su Mo frowned, "let go."

Lu Yuan didn't move. What did Su Mo mean? How did he know that Xu Jiayin would not come back? His mind was spinning like crazy, almost shouting, what did Su Mo know?

"Between life and death." Su Mo took Lu Yuan's hand holding his arm.

Su Mo's hand had no temperature at all. The cold touch made Lu Yuan feel a chill from the bottom of his heart, and then he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He gasped and let go of Su Mo's arm quickly. Unexpectedly, Su Mo would have such amazing power.

Lu Yuan shook his hand, the low temperature in Su Mo's hand that pierced deep into his heart gave him a strong feeling at this moment.He stared at Su Mo's face, trying to determine what this strange feeling was, but the phone rang inappropriately at this moment.

"Between life and death..." Lu Yuan repeated his words, took out his phone and glanced at it, then looked up at Su Mo, "It's you, right?"

Su Mo didn't speak, just crossed his arms and tapped his chin with his fingers.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Lu Yuan answered the phone, it was Jiang Zhiming.

"I've encountered a troublesome case, you should show up right away." Jiang Zhiming's voice sounded a little bit shattered.

"What's the matter?" Lu Yuan turned around and walked towards the door without even thinking about it. Although he still had a lot of things to explain to Su Mo, Jiang Zhiming's tone made him immediately realize that it was not a small case.

"It seems to be a serial murder case, and there are more than a dozen people..."

"I'll be right there."

Lu Yuan hung up the phone, took two steps outside, stopped again, and looked back at Su Mo.Su Mo still stood quietly in the shadow of the backlight. His absolutely still posture made people feel that the time around him was frozen.

He was a little dazed, as if this person was in two different worlds with him,

"I'll look for you again."

"it is good."

Lu Yuan wanted to say something more, for example, I hope you can tell me the truth, or something else, but he felt that no matter what he said, it was not suitable for Su Mo.He didn't say anything more, turned around and went out, put Liuliu in the cage, filled the food bowl with soaked dog food, prepare more, he doesn't know when he will come back.

Serial murder?When Lu Yuan ran down the stairs, he felt a little unbelievable. What happened recently? One case has not been solved yet, and another one has come out, and each one is bigger than the other.

"Lu Yuan." Su Mo's voice came from the corridor.

"What's the matter?" He stopped and looked up to see Su Mo leaning on the railing.

"That scent," Su Mo said, his voice was very low, but enough for Lu Yuan to hear clearly, "it's from you."
