Fire to the Abyss

Somehow, Xia Lin Wannian's pale face was dyed a layer of blush because of his failure after two fights.He was taken aback when he looked in the mirror, he thought he was too thick-skinned and would never blush in his life.

Xia Lin changed into a hospital gown, with thick gauze wrapped on her head and arms, and a plaster on her waist. The image was really worrying—the way the doctor wrapped the gauze was very careless, especially the gauze on the head. He thinks that the natural curly hair of a handsome girl looks like a chicken coop.The doctor's attitude was also very indifferent. When he raised an objection, he threatened to pluck his few hairs if he spoke again.

Xia Lin sighed in front of the mirror, supported his waist and pushed open the door. Xu Luo just came in from outside the ward, carrying a bag with a full range of food in his hand, Xia Lin's eyes lit up immediately.

Xu Luo sighed softly, put the bag with Xia Lin's burning eyes on it on the bedside table, strode over to support Xia Lin's shoulder, "Why did you get out of bed by yourself? You didn't ask me to help you."

Xia Lin muttered softly, "The bathroom is less than five meters from my bed."

Ever since seeing that photo, Xia Lin and Xu Luo always felt uncomfortable when they were alone, and would involuntarily pay attention to Xu Luo's expression, tone, and body movements. With an ambiguous meaning, while feeling in his heart that it might be bad for him to be like this, Xu Luo helped him onto the bed with his hands and feet.

Xu Luo seemed to be fine, picked up a knife and skillfully peeled an apple for Xia Lin, as if he was a serious person, who just turned Xia Lin back in a serious manner.

"Father, how did you know where to save me?" Xia Lin didn't regard Wei Ziyi as a threat at first, and didn't inform anyone at all.

"You open the game and look at the credits list."

Xia Lin opened the game quickly, and on the credits list, there were two letters—XL—on the art design.

Xia Lin's mood was a bit complicated: "...Father, don't say that you designed those appalling characters."

"I just provided the original painting, and other people did the modeling and so on. This game was developed by a team organized by a senior I know. She asked me to do art design, and I agreed after talking several times. The original painting is actually It’s based on the graffiti you drew in the textbook, I think it’s good, so I’ll use it after changing it.”

Xia Lin sat up from the bed in shock: "Yaoshou! The source of all evil is actually me...Dad, why did you go blind at a young age, no, don't the rest of your team have any objections?"

Xu Luo didn't understand, so: "No, they said it was very creative."

"Father, is the senior you're talking about called Chen Mubai?"

"Well, how do you know?"

Xia Lin gritted her teeth and said, "Can I not know? She is the head of your support group, and she will say it's great if you draw it into a lump* (harmony)!"

Not only that, but Chen Mubai and the strange organization behind him also regarded Xia Lin as the number one enemy. As a result, in various public places where he and Xu Luo were together, he would receive girls with knives in their eyes. More provocative gazes - you can be his roommate if you have the ability.

In short, Xia Lin and everyone in Xu Luo's support team are at odds with each other.

"Oh, that's it." Xu Luo looked indifferent, and handed Xia Lin an apple cut into the shape of a rabbit.

Holding the apple, Xia Lin couldn't laugh or cry. His father might really think that he was three years old: "...Hey, forget it, you can continue."

"Seeing that you haven't come back at almost nine o'clock, I'm a little worried. I asked someone from the development team to check the location for me, and it turned out that Wei Ziyi was with you, so I felt something was wrong. I checked out the chat history, and saw that Wei Ziyi said you were the murderer, so I thought it might be a bad idea, so I rushed over immediately."

"Isn't there a function to store chat records?"

"It was only added when it was updated this morning."

"Oh, wait, didn't you see it..." Charling paused, looking at Xu Luo with a complicated expression, "A strange photo..."

Xu Luo looked calm: "Yes, I saw it. It was Liu Xiran's birthday. You drank too much."

"Father, I... I'm such a beast, how could I do such a thing? You hit me, hard!" Xia Lin put her face in front of Xu Luo, and raised the uninjured paw, "I swear Never drink again!"

Xu Luo reached out and flicked his face, and said with a smile, "It's none of your business, I took the initiative."

Xia Lin's attention was caught by Xu Luo's last sentence, and he didn't notice the last sentence, which was so gentle that it could melt water, "Wait, Liu Xiran's birthday... I remember that day she scolded Wei Ziyi for being insincere, She clearly said she was going to let her pigeons in the end, Wei Ziyi was not there at all that day!"

Xu Luo nodded: "It seems so, I remember the boys are just the two of us, and Zhao Yang."

Xia Lin sat up straight suddenly: "Who gave Wei Ziyi the photo? No, what's wrong...Wei Ziyi has a hidden impulsive personality. I can tell from the fact that he wants to kill me regardless of Qin Yuhang's presence. This kind of person generally only thinks of poisoning, a non-threatening method, when dealing with victims who are completely out of control. I am so much taller than him, so he took an extra knife, But when he killed Li Xueen, he used a very roundabout way, and tried his best to pretend it was an accident. It didn't feel like he could think of it at all. Also, I haven't spoken to Li Xueen, why would he think that Li Xueen was pregnant because of me?"

Xia Lin paused for a moment, with furrows between his brows: "It always feels like someone is deliberately guiding Wei Ziyi's actions."

Xu Luo nodded: "Well, indeed. It is probably the person who sent him the photo. It's a pity that the function of saving chat records in the game was not improved earlier, otherwise we can find clues."

Xia Lin's cell phone flashed suddenly, and after looking at it, he said with a gloomy face: "Xia Yan said that Wei Ziyi refused to explain other than admitting to the murder. Cut it, this trash! Sure enough, things didn't go so smoothly."

Outside the interrogation room, "Trash" Xia Yan sneezed violently and explained to the team members embarrassingly: "It's cold, it's cold."

The enthusiastic criminal policeman on the side, Yang Ming, added carefully: "Duan Xia has two fires in his name, and he is blessed with righteousness, can he still be afraid of the cold? I think it is that Dui Xia has been squatting in the mountains for a month, and just returned home with his girlfriend. See above, but a phone call came out to arrest someone again, this will be scolded by my girlfriend!"

Team Xia immediately gave Yang Ming a free look: "You're the only one who talks too much!"

As soon as the words were finished, Xia Yan's cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen, then hurried to the stairs, and pressed the answer button in a doggy manner: "Ah Qing, Qinger, Xiao Qingqing, we'll be done soon." My son, I will definitely come back today. Calm down, okay!"

On the stairs, a group of criminal policemen in the corner of the wall had goosebumps all over their bodies, and they could pile up three feet high when they fell to the ground.

On the other side, Xia Lin leaned on the hospital bed and began to analyze seriously: "It takes time and effort to check the photos. There are so many people in public places that it is impossible to determine who took the photos. I don't know who has passed through several people. It seems that Let me re-examine the doubts that were ignored before. I have always been very concerned about one thing, that is, the xylitol that poisoned Li Xueen was not in the stomach or near the scene. The cyanide poisoned so quickly, Li Xueen neither swallowed it nor Vomited, where did it go? And the body hadn’t been moved, so why did she eat xylitol alone in the old playground on such a cold day? If Wei Ziyi made an appointment to meet her there, why didn’t he choose a better one? It's a hidden place, after all, there are occasional people passing by like us by the side of the playground, so the abandoned school building behind is much more hidden..."

Taking advantage of Xia Lin and his lower lip, Xu Luo tucked up the quilt for him and said, "Could it be that Li Xueen didn't take xylitol at all?"

Eliminate the impossible, and what remains, however incredible, is the truth.

Xia Lin suddenly sat up from the bed: "Yes, you're right, she didn't eat xylitol at all... That means she didn't eat anything, so what made her poisoned?"

Xia Lin sent an order, and Team Xia immediately used his position to take photos of the evidence at the scene and send them to Xia Lin.

I received dozens of photos at once, and Xia Lin's phone vibrated non-stop—Li Xueen has too many things, such as earrings, rings, bracelets, watches, all kinds of cosmetics in her bag, mirrors, combs, and hand guards Frost and so on.

Xia Lin's fingers sliding back and forth on the screen suddenly stopped, and on the screen was a bullet-shaped lipstick.

In Chengzhou Criminal Investigation Detachment Captain's Office, Xia Yan cursed while looking at the files: "Call me that bastard old Chen to work overtime, this case is so suspicious, it's actually closed as an accident! No one was seen for half an hour If not, I will turn him into an accident!"

Yang Ming stretched out his arms and put the coffee on Captain Xia's table, and quickly got out to call the former team leader.

Xia Yan dialed Xia Lin's phone while flipping through the file: "Xia Lin, something is wrong. I couldn't find the chewing gum that I ate. The autopsy report said that there was a poisonous reaction in her lips and stomach, but there was no reaction on her fingers. She really ate it. Is it xylitol poisoning? You shouldn’t have time to wash your hands after it’s severe…”

"It's lipstick," Xia Lin said. "The murderer changed her lipstick, and it got on her lips when she touched up her makeup. The lipstick she used is notoriously dry, and the outdoor humidity is very low in winter." , always licking her lips unconsciously, that's how she was poisoned. The murderer secretly changed the lipstick after she separated from me, and then changed it back when the body was found. And the reason why Li Xueen would make up for it in the old playground The reason is that the murderer informed her that I would pass by there, and she would definitely touch up her makeup before seeing me, and there is only one person who can do this."

Xia Lin paused, took a long breath, and then said quickly: "It's Zhao Yang. After I separated from Li Xueen, I met them to eat hot pot. Zhao Yang took advantage of Li Xueen and I separated to join them. He replaced Li Xueen's lipstick in neutral. He guessed that I would propose to climb over the wall and take a shortcut when he went back, so he told Li Xueen to wait there. Later, he pretended to find the body and secretly replaced the poisonous lipstick. He was sure of the poisonous lipstick It's already been dealt with, and we can find evidence from how he exchanged Li Xueen's lipstick. In short, arrest people first, and hurry up."

On a cold and windy winter night, several police cars quietly left the city's criminal investigation detachment and headed quickly towards the university campus in the east of the city. Xia Yan still failed to fulfill his promise to go home tonight.

Early the next morning, Xia Lin, with panda eyes on his face, asked Xu Luo to "break out of prison" and return him to the dormitory.

Xia Lin dragged his feet like a dead dog and embarked on the long journey of six flights of stairs: "It's ironic, Ladon, who guards the golden apple, wants to destroy the apple tree with his own hands, and my most trusted partner is actually the mastermind behind the scenes. Wei Ziyi walked into the abyss, and managed to get him to point the finger at me, hahaha..."

The desolate laughter made Xu Luo's heart tighten.

Xia Lin took two steps and stopped suddenly: "Is Zhao Yang doing some crazy experiments on human nature, or does he actually hate me?" Xia Lin turned back and looked directly into Xu Luo's eyes, "What's wrong with me? ?"

The voice is so soft that it can be crushed in the air.

He stood with the backlight, and the sun cast a large shadow on his sharp-edged face. There seemed to be a layer of soft water in his always smiling eyes, and his already thin figure was made even more slender by the light.Even though there are only a few steps away, it looks unreal.

"You didn't." Xu Luo went straight forward, hugging Xia Lin in his arms without any explanation, stroking his hair with his chin, and said softly, "It's faster to carry you upstairs."

When he said this, he almost touched Xia Lin's hair. Xia Lin felt his scalp go numb for a while. His mind was filled with all kinds of depressive thoughts one second before, and the next second he was blown by the hot and humid breath. It's gone without a trace.Then the breath seemed to spark a cluster of small flames from the original spot, along the top of the head, along the back of the head, and burned all the way to the spine.

The details that had been neglected before instantly magnified in my mind - borrowing Xu Luo's mobile phone when the battery ran out in the hospital, unconsciously entering my lock screen password but unlocking it, and Liu Xiran's sentence "I really don't know what he likes about you" , Xu Luo's sentence "I took the initiative", and his sweet smile when he said that.

Xia Lin wanted to slap herself on the spot, why didn't she find out before?The truth has long been revealed, without any reasoning at all, it can be seen from the eyes - Xu Luo is simply raising herself as a daughter-in-law!

After being warmed by his body, the pleasant smell of freshener on Xu Luo's body rushed into Xia Lin's nose unreservedly. While letting the hormones in his body soar, Xia Lin thought desperately, maybe, he really is gay.

It was a very quiet morning, and the holiday was approaching. Most of the people in the dormitory had left, and the rest of them were laying their corpses under the warm blanket. Xu Luo carried Xia Lin all the way up to the sixth floor, but he didn't meet anyone.

He gently put Xia Lin at the door, took out the key to open the door, Xia Lin stood aside and said meanly: "I seem to have promised myself to someone last night."

Xu Luo pushed the door open and entered the room: "Well, indeed."

When Xu Luo closed the door, Xia Lin pushed Xu Luo against the dormitory door with his uninjured arm, and arrogantly blew against his ear: "Then no one will save you even if you broke your throat!"

Xu Luo supported Xia Lin's head with one hand, and turned his arms around his back for more than 180 degrees, enclosing him in the small space formed by the door and his arms, and there seemed to be waves hidden in his calm eyes: "It's just right I do."
