eighth story

Wu Qinyang didn't take the initiative to contact Zhu Mingyue, but Zhu Mingyue called the next day.

Although Zhu Mingyue may not be clear about Wu Qinyang's shocking family background, but based on his familiarity with Yin Hao in Zhu Tianzhang's shop that day, Zhu Mingyue has already faintly noticed something.Her father, Zhu Guangtao, and Zhu Tianzhang, cousins, have always had a very good relationship, and Zhu Tianzhang took good care of Zhu Mingyue, his niece, and she also liked getting along with her cousin, so whenever she thought that Zhu Tianzhang was stolen The anger doesn't come from one place, but I don't know where to spit this bad breath.

It’s fine if it’s an ordinary theft case. If the door lock was picked and the window was smashed, you can only consider yourself unlucky. I didn’t expect the police to recover all the losses. Reporting the case can give you a little psychological comfort, but what they encountered The situation is quite different.On the day of the theft, after the police finished their investigation, Zhu Mingyue took Zhu Tianzhang back to her home, and called her father to tell her about the theft. After dinner, the family gathered together and angrily denounced the thief who suffered a thousand dollars. Zhu Tianzhang carefully recalled the situation at that time again.

Zhu Tianzhang's shop opens at nine o'clock every morning, but usually no one comes over for dinner after nine o'clock. The actual opening time is usually around 10:30 to [-] o'clock, and the waiting time for cooking is exactly the time for dinner. little bit.Zhu Tianzhang is used to this. This one-hour free time is convenient for him to clean up and prepare ingredients.That morning he came at ten minutes to nine as usual, took the key and unlocked the anti-theft door as usual, nothing in the outside living room and dining area has changed, and the cash box is well placed to separate the dining area from the other. On the counter in the back kitchen, Zhu Tianzhang washed his hands first, and then he was stunned when he opened the refrigerator. After a while, Wu Qinyang came over. After finding out that it was stolen, he called the police. An hour later, the police station came to investigate.

Zhu Mingyue told her father that the doors and windows in the store were in good condition and the situation in the surveillance video of the community: "The situation in the store at that time should be regarded as a secret room, and the person in the surveillance video was indeed suspicious. I think he stole it." , if only the police could catch the thief."

Zhu Guangtao was not convinced by his cousin and daughter's description of the scene, especially disagreed with the theory of the secret room, and frowned: "There must be some negligence, the thief will still be able to penetrate the wall? Zhang, don't be too angry, if you lose something, you will lose it, and you will buy it again, if you don't have enough money, your sister-in-law and I have it here."

Zhu Mingyue's mother also said: "We are all a family, so don't be polite to your brother."

Zhu Tianzhang said: "It's not because of the money... Well, I just can't figure it out. I always have the key with me, but how did someone get in without the key?"

Zhu Guangtao said: "It's easy to handle, someone must have stolen your key and went to make a new one."

Zhu Tianzhang said: "But I'm in the store all day long, and I don't go out. If I stole the key, I must return it, otherwise I should find out when I lock the door at night. If the customer comes twice a day, I will definitely have an impression."

Zhu Mingyue's mother said: "Maybe it's not a guest, you don't always have students who come to help."

"Mom!" Zhu Mingyue became a little unhappy, "Is it my classmate who came to help my cousin's shop, or did I ask him if he wanted to help? He certainly wouldn't steal things from my cousin's shop, otherwise he would Well, call the police."

"You child." Zhu's mother said, "I just said that casually, but I tricked you into saying such a long string, it's true."

Zhu Mingyue said: "Anyway, it can't be Wu Qinyang, I saw him talking to the police who came, I think the matter of the key should not be that complicated, getting a new one doesn't necessarily mean stealing the old one, It’s been shown on TV before, and when people aren’t paying attention, you can print it with plasticine or something, and the shape of the key will come out.”

The family talked to each other, but in the end they couldn't discuss any results. In addition, Zhu Mingyue heard the news that the bakery had been stolen the next day. She felt that this matter was strange and called Wu Qinyang. After calling, I asked around again.For example, the doors and windows in the bakery are all closed, and there is no shortage of money at the cash register, but all the food is gone. It is almost the same as in her cousin's shop.

Compared to the astonishment of her parents and uncle, Zhu Mingyue felt a little uneasy.Maybe someone really knows how to penetrate walls?It can be called accidental if an incredible thing happens once, but if it is repeated again and again, in the sense of probability distribution, it will become infinitely inevitable as the number of times increases.Zhu Mingyue was very impressed that when she was thinking about these things, she could still apply what she had learned to the compulsory theory of probability next semester. Boringly, she took a pen and drew two lines on the paper. After thinking about it, she called her best friend Ma Shanshan.

Ma Shanshan is enjoying the vacation life at home where she eats and sleeps when she wants to. When Zhu Mingyue called, she heard her say "Mingyue" inarticulately, so she knew she was eating. He hurriedly took a sip of water before saying, "Mingyue? What's the matter?"

"Hey Shanshan, let me tell you..." Hearing Ma Shanshan's voice, Zhu Mingyue finally had an outlet to confide in, and told her best friend what happened in the past two days.Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Ma Shanshan was gradually aroused by Zhu Mingyue's narration, but also felt that Zhu Mingyue's association with those things about flying over the eaves and walls was unreliable, so she comforted: "Mingyue, don't think too much, there is no way to solve the case." The police."

"But I'm worried..." Zhu Mingyue sighed, "Shanshan, don't you think it's weird? I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell why."

"You, what are you thinking so much about..." Ma Shanshan laughed when she heard this, but suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, the Wu Qinyang you're talking about is the handsome guy you met on the street that day?"

"I'm telling you something serious, handsome guy, you only think about handsome guy all day, can you have something else. That's right, it's him, what's wrong?" Zhu Mingyue replied.

"Who said I only think about handsome guys!" Ma Shanshan yelled dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you just say that he seems to know the policeman who came to your cousin's shop that day very well? It's easy to handle, you can ask him to inquire about it, and you will have a score in your heart."

"But this kind of thing can't be said casually..." Zhu Mingyue has watched TV dramas, "Aren't the police all disciplined, tell the case to unrelated outsiders..."

"You are not an 'irrelevant outsider'. More than 1 yuan was stolen from your cousin's shop." Ma Shanshan said, "The family members of the victim asked about the investigation, so I don't believe that handsome guy." I don't wonder about it myself."

Zhu Mingyue still hesitated: "I still don't feel so good..."

"You!" Ma Shanshan said rather resentfully, "That's all right, you call him, don't say you want to know something related to the case, just say that you want to ask him out for a meal and a drink He will definitely not refuse to have a drink and watch a movie or something, and then I will help you to talk slowly."

"Hey, are you coming too?"

"What do you mean by 'I'm coming too', am I helping you, or do you want to have a chance to be alone with the handsome guy so you don't want my light bulb to appear?"

"I'm not afraid of trouble for you." Zhu Mingyue snorted softly, "After all, it's not that you want to see the handsome guy. Let me tell you, Wu Qinyang doesn't have a girlfriend yet. If you want to..."

"I don't really want to, I just admire the handsome guy - I don't want to fall in love with the handsome guy." Ma Shanshan said with a wicked smile, "I also know that he doesn't have a girlfriend. The squad leader knows it very well."

"You're really, I'm really wrong." Zhu Mingyue said, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. I'll call him now. If you have time, meet at the door of the McDonald's on the pedestrian street. ,How about it?"

"Okay." Ma Shanshan said, "Call me if I have news, I'll go wash my hair first."

"Go, go." Zhu Mingyue hung up the phone, took a deep breath, found Wu Qinyang's phone number in the address book, and dialed it cautiously.

Wu Qinyang is bored at home - Zhu Tianzhang has no plans to reopen for the time being, and of course he doesn't have to start work on time as a temporary worker. If he stays at home for a long time, he will face the risk of growing hair, so Wu Qinyang pulls Xuan Jue Come out to play table tennis.Wu Qinyang felt that he could feel the fragrance of winter flowers during the exercise - his body stretched out in the winter weather.Looking back, Xuan Jue was sweating profusely like himself, so he went to the canteen to buy two bottles of mineral water, and smiled as he watched his brother drink the water, the mineral water mixed with finely divided sweat, shining in the sun With a faint light, Wu Qinyang couldn't help sighing - my brother is so beautiful.

But at this moment, the mobile phone in his backpack suddenly rang. Wu Qinyang took out the mobile phone suspiciously, only to find that it was Zhu Mingyue's call.

"Hello, monitor?" Wu Qinyang said.

"Wu Qinyang?" Zhu Mingyue asked tentatively, "Do you have time today?"

"Uh...it's okay, what's the matter, monitor?"

Zhu Mingyue felt relieved a little, and continued: "Well...it's like this, I want to treat you to a meal, it's not convenient for you."

Wu Qinyang let out an "ah" and said in confusion, "What are you doing, you suddenly said that you want to invite me to dinner?"

Zhu Mingyue explained: "It's an apology. I introduced you to work with my cousin, but something like this happened, which delayed your part-time job... I'm also very embarrassed, so I will treat you to a meal." Excuse I thought about it before I made the call. I didn't explain my purpose, but I also led the topic to a certain extent. It would be easier to say something later.After Zhu Mingyue finished explaining, she waited anxiously for Wu Qinyang's reply.

"Ah..." Wu Qinyang said, "Squad leader, don't be so polite, it's not your fault that something like this happened."

"Anyway, I'm going to treat you to dinner, so give me some face as the class monitor." Zhu Mingyue said, "If you agree, we can meet at the door of the McDonald's on the pedestrian street, of course it's not McDonald's, I know there is one nearby Nice braised pork rice. By the way, can I bring a friend... Ma Shanshan, you saw it last time."

Hearing that Zhu Mingyue had arranged the location, Wu Qinyang didn't know whether to refuse for a moment, looked at Xuan Jue with a begging look, then pointed to the phone with his finger, saw Xuan Jue nodded, and gestured with his mouth Said "Go".

Wu Qinyang said, "Okay then, it's better to be respectful than to obey." He glanced at his watch again, "I'll see you at 11:30."

Zhu Mingyue said: "See you soon!" After saying goodbye to each other, they hung up the phone.

Wu Qinyang installed the phone, and asked Xuanjue, "Brother, are you going? The squad leader has brought her friends there, so it shouldn't be a problem if I take you there, right?"

Xuan Jue froze for a moment, then said after a while: "I won't go."

Wu Qinyang said, "Why?"

"Your classmate." Xuan Jue thought about it, "He invited you to dinner, but he didn't say he wanted to invite me. It's inappropriate for me to come here without invitation. I'll take you there."

Wu Qin said: "Ah..." He was obviously disappointed, but he also felt that Xuan Jue's words were not unreasonable, so he didn't insist anymore, and said, "There is still an hour and a half...you are sweating all over, go take a shower. "

Gymnasiums all have public bathrooms for simple showers, Wu Qinyang undressed, and watched Xuan Jue undress himself.Probably because Xiao Wu's eyes were too direct and hot, Xuan Jue, who had been honest with this little ancestor since childhood, felt a little embarrassed, and quickly diverted Wu Qinyang's attention: "Yang Yang?"

"Ah? Hahahaha... Brother, you have such a good figure..." Wu Qinyang subconsciously covered his nose while talking, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he quickly pushed Xuan Jue and said, "Walk and take a bath." His gaze Landing on his brother's back again, he suddenly frowned, and called Xuan Jue suspiciously, "Brother, what's wrong with your back?"

Xuan Jue didn't understand, so: "What's wrong?"

"Why does there seem to be such a long scar on your back..." Although the scar only appeared faintly and could not be seen clearly, Wu Qinyang still felt his heart tremble, and his hands lightly Caressing the scar from Xuan Jue's right shoulder to his left waist, there was already a little anger in his voice unconsciously, "When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

"Yangyang..." Xuanjue finally understood what Wu Qinyang was referring to.These days, he has clearly noticed that his spiritual power is not enough, and he didn't pay much attention to it because it would not affect his life, but unexpectedly, it has reached the point where he can't even hide the scars on his body.When Da Rui and Xiao Yunhe came out of the same sect, Ye Rui didn't abandon his status as a fairy family in the upper realm like Xiao Yunhe, his whip was indeed hard to bear, and it was inevitable to leave scars.Xuan Jue intentionally concealed this scar when he transformed into form, but now he realized that even he was a little dazed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wu Qinyang almost panicked, and shouted, "Brother! Talk!"

Xuan Jue didn't want Wu Qinyang to worry, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it happened a long time ago."

There seemed to be a cluster of flames flickering in Wu Qinyang's eyes, but his expression was sad.Xuan Jue sighed, hugged him gently, patted Wu Qinyang's back, and said warmly: "Yangyang, don't freeze, go take a bath."
