Dangerous Personality

It was already past three o'clock at night, the night was dark outside the window, and the whole building was silent.In winter, the bare treetops and branches cast a few elongated and swaying shadows through the street lamps. Occasionally, there are two or three wild cats calling downstairs in the community.

At this time, Xie Lin was leaning in the office chair and flipping through books. There were several rows of books on the desk—all left by Xie Feng before, covering "Investigative Science", "Trace Inspection", "Criminal Psychology", etc. books.

These books have been carefully read many times, and there are annotations left by Xie Feng back then.

The first sentence of the title page of the book Xie Lin was holding read: Children, don't flip through it.

Even the handwriting of the man reveals a gentleness, but there is a bit of tenacity at the turning point of the strokes.

This "little boy" refers to his younger brother who was only as tall as his waist back then.

At that time, Xie Feng had just entered the police academy, and he studied every subject very hard. He participated in handling cases during the school, and occasionally when he came home from vacation, he always shut himself in the study to read.Out of curiosity at the beginning, Xie Lin would always secretly flip through his pile of books, and was warned many times.

But it’s useless, what Xie Lin should read is what he should read, from the professional courses of the police academy, to the summary of serious and important cases in various countries. Later, Xie Feng officially entered the job, and even went all the way to the position of team captain, and he didn’t escape this younger brother.

The screen of the phone he had set aside was still on, and there was a message on it.

Wu Zhibin: Yuan Ju let go.I don't know what happened back then, but after ten years, many people's ideas have changed... Would you still like to come back?

In the middle of the night before his arrival, he actually slept for a while.

After receiving the message from Wu Zhibin, he fell asleep.

During this period, I had an intermittent dream.

In his dream, he saw a small cubicle with a 15-year-old boy with his hands tied behind his back. In his dream, there were gunshots and sirens circling outside the house, followed by the footsteps of many people pouring in: "Found There—someone! There are two more children here!"

The black blindfold covering his eyes was gently pulled away, and the sun was not seen for a long time. The boy's eyes were completely dark and he could not see anything. He only heard Jianfeng calling his name.

"The rescue was successful," he heard someone say when he could finally see a faint light, "but... only two children survived, a total of twenty kidnapped children... died strangely. Your brother was tied up in a compartment with another child at the same time, but that child died, and only he survived, we suspect..."

The man's voice was intermittent.

The rescue of the kidnapping case went smoothly at first, but an accident happened during the retreat for some unknown reason.

"Release the team, the barrel is full of gasoline."

"Not good! Quickly retreat—!"

The sound of explosions swept from far to near like a vortex, and exploded from the innermost room at the speed of a gust of wind. A series of extremely fast explosions instantly shattered the walls and the roof collapsed.

In a hurry, Xie Lin forgot everything, only remembering that Xie Feng pushed him from behind.

The man pushed him out with undeniable strength, but his voice was still gentle, like the last exhortation: "You are proficient in crime, so some people will be afraid of you. But remember one thing, you can help many people. "

Xie Feng's voice was very soft, drowned by the loud explosion: "I have always believed in you."

The heat wave generated by the explosion rushed in.

"boom--!"

"Run—" he heard Jianfeng shout, "don't stop!"

……

Xie Lin rested his fingertips on the three characters "children", and the shadow outside the window cast behind him, covering some of the light. When he let go, he said to the empty study room: "I am not a child anymore. ,elder brother."

Xie Lin closed the textbook and put it back to its original place.

The phone vibrated twice in the next second.

The two new messages topped the previous one sent by Wu Zhibin.

These two new messages come from a certain cleanliness surnamed Chi who disappeared for nearly a week. The reflex arc of this cleanliness may have circled the earth, and it took a week before he remembered to reply to his message.And, no medicine, finally know to find someone to help.

After Chi Qing sent those two sentences, he suspected that he might be delirious in the middle of the night to reply these two sentences.

He thought about this point, Xie Lin should have gone to bed long ago, so he pressed the chat bubble with his fingers, and was about to click "Withdraw", when there was an extra line of words in the chat box.

Xie Lin: So you still remember me as your counterpart.

Chi Qing: "..."

Xie Lin wanted to tease him again, and then sent him the medicine to see what was going on with him. His illness had been recurring for so many days. If it was a low-grade fever, there was a high probability of complications.

As a result, he had just opened the study door when he heard the doorbell ring.

Chi Qing didn't wear gloves, and she wasn't used to it. When she rang the doorbell, she tucked her fingers into her sleeves.

So Xie Lin opened the door and saw Chi Qing standing in front of his house. He was already thin, but he seemed to have become thinner after not seeing him in the past week. The black sweater that was originally slightly loose on him became more and more empty. The hair was longer, too, directly over the eyes, joining the dark shadows under the eyes.

Obviously the lights in the corridor were turned on from top to bottom, and the field of vision was very bright, but Chi Qing looked like he had his own shadow, and he suppressed the surrounding light.

It was rare for Chi Qing to take the initiative to speak, and he looked away uncomfortably: "I'll get the medicine."

Xie Lin moved closer and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes."

Chi Qing: "I just changed places and couldn't sleep."

Afraid that this argument was not convincing enough, Chi Qing added two more words: "Recognize the bed."

"..." Xie Lin looked at the bruises under his eyes, and felt helpless against his confession, "Do you have all the problems that have something to do with 'difficult to serve'?"

Chi Qing was speechless and could only admit it.

Xie Lin turned sideways and let Chi Qing in: "Did you finish the cold medicine I gave you last time?"

Chi Qing let out a "hmm".

He didn't actually eat much at all.

I was almost killed by the noise, and I didn't even think about taking medicine.

Xie Lin flipped through the medicine box and said, "After taking the medicine for so many days, it still hasn't recovered. There may be inflammation. You need to go to the hospital."

Chi Qing and Xie Lin live opposite each other. They have the same house type, and the interior layout and facilities are similar, but there is a big difference in the decoration style. Xie Lin looks fancy, but the decoration of his home is very simple. The whole house furniture design Mainly in gray tones, concise and clear.

The kitchens of the two suites are open, and Chi Qing sits at the dining table, silently watching Xie Lin flip through things.

Seeing Chi Qing's appearance, Xie Lin hesitated and said, "...you don't even like going to the hospital, do you?"

Sure enough, the waiter said: "No."

"..."

"Too many people," said Difficult to serve, "noisy."

This is the second time Chi Qing mentioned the word "noisy".

Xie Lin vaguely felt that the word "noisy" might have other meanings. After all, if you feel noisy in the room, you also feel noisy in the hospital, then there will be no place where you go that is not noisy.

But the person who said this was Chi Qing, so everything seemed not so unreasonable.

After all, this cleanliness surnamed Chi has a face of 'Don't bother him'.

"Tell others to shut up after saying a few words. It's too noisy anywhere. Except for the wilderness or uninhabited island, it's hard to meet your requirements in other places." Xie Lin found the rest of the cold medicine and handed the thermometer Give it to him and say, "I'm curious, is there any place in this world where you don't feel noisy?"

……

some.

Chi Qing lowered her eyes, looking at Jie Lin's hand stretched out to him through the broken hair on her forehead.

The ring on Xie Lin's hand has been taken off, the man's fingers are well-jointed, his wrist is tilted sideways, the tip of his thumb is pressed against the pulp of his index finger, and he holds the thermometer in front of him.

[It must be an excuse to say that you are busy at work, otherwise why did you change your mobile phone password. 】

【…】

Near four o'clock in the morning, the couple in the building started again.

Chi Qing poked her finger out of the sleeve of the sweater a little, reached out to pick up the thermometer, and wiped it over Xie Lin's knuckles intentionally or unintentionally when she picked it up.

【A man can’t even say a word—】

The words stopped abruptly.

After a long absence, he was brought back to reality for a short time. Those indistinguishable, pervasive, and empty voices were blocked, and only some very peaceful voices remained, such as the branches of trees outside the window sweeping across the window, from a distance There was the sound of a car coming from somewhere, and a drop of water dripped from the untightened kitchen faucet.

"Tick-tock-"

Although Chi Qing didn't want to admit it.

He felt that this was the only place where it was not noisy.

"Let you take the thermometer," Xie Lin looked at him and said, "Why are you touching my hand?"

Chi Qing's touch was actually very inconspicuous, his hands were still tucked into his sleeves, with only a little fingertips exposed.

Chi Qing dawdled for a while before letting go, his words and deeds were very inconsistent: "...who wants to touch your hand."
