sunk in yesterday

After leaving Area C, Xia Zhuo felt a little warmer.

Mrs. Bai still couldn't forget the scene she saw just now: "My inspiration burst out. If you give me a canvas now, I can create a masterpiece immediately."

Xia Zhuo looked sideways: "Your inspiration comes from such disgusting things?"

"How disgusting is this?" Mrs. Bai criticized him leisurely: "It's rare to see something strange."

"Then you go in and swim with them?"

"Why can't you spit out any ivory?"

"Because I gave you this opportunity."

Madam Bai reacted for two seconds, then turned a corner and said he was a dog's mouth!

Xia Zhuo laughed and ran away, Madam Bai grabbed the hem of her skirt and chased him to beat him, "Come back!"

The high heels didn't play any restraint role, and the two chased each other in the winding path for less than 2 minutes before Xia Zhuo was captured and brought to justice.

"Wait... I'll take a breath first." He clutched his stomach and leaned against the wall, trying to slip away by saying something confusing, but there were staggered footsteps beside him.

Hearing the sound, there were at least three people walking in their direction. I thought it would be the three young men, but when I turned the corner, I saw three policemen walking forward while talking.

He immediately pricked up his ears, not forgetting to tell Madam Bai to be sensible, so as not to delay him listening to the clues.

Madam Bai glared at him, and also focused on the aborigines who passed by.One of them was looking at the records non-stop. Several people raised their heels and heard them discussing about dolphins.

"The superior just called and asked what to do with the dolphin."

"Didn't you send a car to transport it away today? Didn't you say where it was transported?"

"It was supposed to be transported to the eastern suburbs for release, but those animal research scholars suggested that we should euthanize it."

"Euthanasia? Just let it go, why bother."

"It is said that after animals have killed humans, they may realize that humans are weaker than them. After they are uneasy, they are very likely to repeat the old things and attack humans for the second time."

"It's also weird, dolphins attack people... This is the first time I have encountered it."

"If you haven't met it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry. One hundred people have one hundred different personalities, and animals are no exception. It cannot be said that that species is an absolute 'human friend'. Dogs often hurt people too. ?”

"That's what I said, but there are many strange things about this case. Doesn't the victim's ex-boyfriend work here? It's too coincidental no matter how you look at it."

"They also broke up peacefully, and the man got off work on time, and there was a record on the punch card machine. Before the power outage, the surveillance camera did indeed capture him cycling away. There is an alibi."

"This is really troublesome... There is only one hand left, and the autopsy is nonsense. We don't even know how she died." At this point, the man kicked on the pillar as if venting his anger.

"Now I can only tell her family members that she deliberately did not leave after the aquarium was closed, fell into the water after the power was turned off at night, and died in an accident."

"Accident? What kind of bullshit reason is this!" He casually put the report on the rest chair aside, waved his arms and said excitedly: "You also know that this is not a simple incident of animals attacking humans, why don't you buy more time from the higher authorities If dolphins can’t listen to those bullshit scholars, then this case will be too funny and ridiculous!”

"You calm down!"

The two quarreled while talking, and the third person had no choice but to go up to persuade them to make peace, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

Xia Zhuo had been paying attention to the report from the very beginning, and took the opportunity to go over to pick it up and flip through it. It contained information on the personnel investigated and interrogation records.

He saw the profile of the man in the windbreaker, but the face in the photo was much younger than what he saw yesterday. He was 24 years old when the crime happened, and he was in a relationship with the victim.What caught his attention was the occupation column, which was filled with "Dolphin Trainer", so the dolphin he met was trained and raised by this guy?

The interrogation record records the question and answer between the police and him:

-What is your relationship with the victim?

- We dated before, but broke up three months ago.

- why did you break up

- Her parents did not allow us to get married, so they separated.I still love her very much.

-Is it a coincidence that you met the victim?Was she with anyone traveling with her when you saw her?

- We just met by chance, without any communication.She just came to the performance hall to watch a performance and left, and I didn't pay attention to whether there was anyone accompanying her.

-Why do the dolphins in the performance area appear in the exhibition area?

- It was the water change day in the performance area, and the sea water was still on the way to be transported, but there was an accident, so it was delayed, and it could only be delivered the next day, so the dolphins will be transferred to the exhibition area that night, you can ask the curator about this , my colleagues are also aware of this matter, it is not an accident that it appeared in the C area.

- what time did you leave that day

-Because I received a notice of circuit maintenance and inspection in the morning, the curator said that today we will close one hour earlier. Usually we close the museum at [-] o'clock and get off work at [-] o'clock, but the lights are turned off at [-] o'clock, so the daily inspection in the museum can only be left until the next day I didn’t have time to check whether any tourists stayed maliciously. I got off work at [-] o’clock that day, and I left at [-]:[-].

- You get off work at five o'clock, why did you delay leaving for 10 minutes?What are you doing these 10 minutes?

- Change clothes, and don't be too active after get off work. Many colleagues also go to this point.

-Where did you go and what did you do after get off work?

-I'm home.After taking a bath, I played games and went to bed at 11:30.

- Can anyone prove that you are home?

- My game buddies, they can see me online.

The question and answer was very long, Xia Zhuo skipped to read some key information, and indeed attached the chat history, the game friend of the man in the windbreaker confirmed that he was playing games that night.Similarly, the police also went to investigate the special plane transporting seawater, and it was almost the same as what the man in the windbreaker said.

After that is the basic information of the victim.This young Ms. Zhong is not a local. She went to the Academy of Fine Arts in college and became a jewelry designer after graduation.The day of the incident was her working day, but due to customer demand, she went to the city aquarium to find inspiration related to dolphins.

The two did meet by chance.

"Why doesn't the woman's parents agree to their marriage?" Mrs. Bai asked and answered while picking her nails, "It must be that the man is not good enough for his daughter. All marriages that are not allowed are due to unequal relationships."

Xia Zhuo turned to the interrogation page between the police and the victim's parents, and had to agree that Mrs. Bai was indeed quite transparent in terms of feelings.When faced with the question of why she did not agree to the marriage between the two, Ms. Zhong's mother gave a very accurate answer: He is not worthy of my daughter.

"Whether a person is compatible with another person can list a lot of rules. For example, appearance, knowledge, hobbies, taste, three views, etc... But when it comes to elders, it is nothing more than the most critical point-substance. Although many people say that when you marry, you have to marry a good person, but the word "good person" is not written on his face. How do you know whether he is good or bad? You can only find the most obvious one - whether you have money or not, you can see it at a glance Come out? People are very realistic animals.”

Xia Zhuo just wanted to nod, but realized something, and secretly looked at Guan Yuzhou beside him.

Guan Yuzhou asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Zhuo picked out the paper, "I don't have any money."

Before Guan Yuzhou could speak, Mrs. Bai rushed to say: "You have, Guan Yuzhou's is yours."

He also wanted to say that after the death of Mr. Xia, the entire Xia family should be counted on Xia Zhuo's head, which was a huge fortune coveted by many people.But now Xia Zhuo is also dead. No one inherits the property of the Xia family to the country. A generation of old families has disappeared. So many people commented that karma reciprocates.

Xia Zhuo never thought that he also had a fortune in the unit of [-] million, even in the past, he never had this idea.At this time, he just looked at Guan Yuzhou seriously, and vowed: "I will also make a lot of money in the future, and I will not let you be wronged. Every meal can eat meat like at Boyle's house."

Eating meat for every meal now is not a symbol of rich people, but it is still the case in Xia Zhuo's impression. It seems that during this period of time, the child is still hungry.Guan Yuzhou couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, but his heart softened: "I'm right to say that."

"That won't work, I'm also a man." Xia Zhuo pointed to himself: "A man, you can also call me husband."

Only then did Guan Yuzhou understand that Xia Zhuo dug a hole here and waited for him to jump.

The three police officers over there had finished their quarrel, and the faces of the two arguing were drooping, but they both agreed to the proposal of the third one to chase and transport the dolphin car first.

Xia Zhuo pulled out a stack of papers, left an empty shell and put it back in place, turned his heels and planned to go to the performance hall as planned, when the man beside him suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the lips.Then the lips moved down quickly, and the small mole on his chin with the tip of his tongue passed by.

The moist air is wrapped in a trace of electric current, leaving trembling marks on the touched skin.Xia Zhuo trembled all over, and heard Guan Yuzhou's low voice: "You can call, but you have to be on the bed."

He raised his head slowly, and Guan Yuzhou had already stepped back and smiled slightly, as if the hooligan actions and words just now were not what he said or said.

Madam Bai turned her head and saw Xia Zhuo was in a daze again, "Have you ever kissed at such a young age? What are you doing in a daze? We are leaving too."

Xia Zhuo was so confused that he lost the energy to fight each other, and walked quickly while covering his ears.

When Madam Bai saw Guan Yuzhou's smiling face, goosebumps almost fell all over the floor, "Did you say something to him again? You blushed like a monkey's butt."

Guan Yuzhou said happily: "It's nothing."

The happier he was, the more Mrs. Bai felt a chill.He touched his arm and wanted to say something disgusting, but the words came out of his mouth: "At least you are a bit human."

Guan Yuzhou's smile faded, "How to say?"

"What should I say? You know it yourself." Mrs. Bai didn't want to talk too much, so she followed Xia Zhuo.

The performance hall is the brightest place in the whole aquarium. Even if the sky is covered with a layer of dust today, after entering that door, there is a feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mist.

The water in the pool was as calm as usual, and the ball he put on the ground yesterday somehow returned to the water, floating motionless in the center.The dolphin he had met was absent from the pool, but one of them had arrived earlier and was checking the seats in the upper stands.

The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of the people on the high ground, and the people on both sides looked at each other. The man in the windbreaker glanced over Guan Yuzhou, and quickly fixed his gaze on Xia Zhuo who entered first, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.

Like an old friend whom he has known for many years, he put down what he was doing and stood up straight, and said hello in a moderate voice: "Are you here too?"

All three of them knew that this person hadn't given up on the idea of ​​pulling a fool into the pit, and he seemed to believe that Xia Zhuo would become that fool.

Being looked down upon, Xia Zhuo pursed her mouth in disdain, and poked Guan Yuzhou's chest with her upturned little finger, "Your Majesty, when did you come? I don't know that person at all, and it's all because of his malicious pestering, you Don't take magnanimity to heart."

He still remembered that Guan Yuzhou labeled him like this the last time, and this man was jealous.He and the man in the windbreaker couldn't get together at all, and it was disgusting to pretend to be so intimate.

Mrs. Bai couldn't hold back, and her face burst into joy: "Hahahahaha!" After laughing, he pointed at Xia Zhuo and said to Guan Yuzhou: "You really found a treasure, didn't he just rely on one mouth? You got tricked?"

Guan Yuzhou thought for a while, if it refers to the mouth when singing, then the answer is probably a thousand miles away.

"What, he was the one chasing me at the time." Xia Zhuo was dissatisfied, "Besides, why is my mouth called cheating? Isn't my mouth sweet?"

"Oh?" Madam Bai raised an eyebrow and asked Guan Yuzhou for confirmation: "Is that so?"

What he heard was that the new young master of the Xia family had been chasing a man for a whole year.

"Isn't that so?" Xia Zhuo also looked straight over.

"That's right." Guan Yuzhou nodded and admitted.

The man in the windbreaker put his stiff hands back little by little, and put them on the back of the plastic chair again.The few people by the pool regarded him as air, and the man and woman next to the young man didn't seem to be troublesome.

Except for the pair of siblings last night, now I can only do the work of the other three.But since this morning, he has been looking for where the three young people went. If there is no one here, he can only take a different route later.

He hurriedly checked several rows of chairs and stools, and left here quickly.

After he left, Madam Bai also twisted her waist and approached the seating area, "What is he looking for?"

"I don't know." Xia Zhuo checked the chair repeatedly, but couldn't see any difference.After thinking about it for a while, he said: "He also appeared here yesterday, he should have come here specially from other areas, and he came here again today...so I feel that something is missing in the performance hall? Otherwise, it would be impossible to repeat I came back twice. But it looked like I didn’t find anything.”

"If he doesn't find it, let's look for it." Madam Bai stretched her waist, "Start work."

There is nothing to check for a piece of seat, and the cleaners will clean up any leftovers.Xia Zhuo got tired of squatting after finding a row. He refocused his gaze on the ball on the water, and followed the ball all the way backward, "Where is the other side of the pool?"

Guan Yuzhou said uncertainly: "The staff locker room."

The locker room... It was clearly mentioned in the interrogation record that the man in the windbreaker changed his clothes within 10 minutes after get off work.

"Let's go look there." Xia Zhuo got up, "It's enough to have Mrs. Bai here."

He and Guan Yuzhou walked around the pool and entered the backstage dressing room.The door and the wall were painted the same color, and there was a combination lock on the side, but someone came in first, and the door was only ajar at this time, saving them a lot of effort.

Before the door was opened, a faint fishy smell came out from inside.Several small buckets were piled up against the wall, and some performance equipment was also erected on the side. The smell of sea water was very strong.

This room is neither big nor small, and has the same layout as most of the dressing rooms. There is a cabinet at the end with the name of the corresponding user on it. The windows on one side are closed, and there is a long stool in the middle.

The fan above the head has accumulated a lot of dust, and a slightly faded poster is pasted behind the door. The content is very childlike, and a fairy tale is specially made up for the dolphins-the elves of the ocean give humans a magical whistle. As long as it is blown under certain conditions, the spirit will appear.

The last line of eye-catching words read: Come to the aquarium to participate in dolphin interaction during the event, and have a chance to get a magical whistle!

He had just finished watching when Guan Yuzhou stretched out a hand, in which lay a long golden whistle.

Xia Zhuo: "..." He was silent for a while, "Where did you find it? I was just wondering where we should find this thing."

Guan Yuzhou pointed to the cabinet, "This should be used for normal training, and the animals will respond when they get used to the sound." Seeing that Xia Zhuo was about to put it in his mouth while holding the whistle, he quickly reached out to stop it, "I'm going to wash it. , don’t use it yet.”

He went to the sink to clean the whistle repeatedly, and when it was returned to Xia Zhuo's hands, the copper and iron were covered with the smell of soap.

Xia Zhuo pushed open the door of the dressing room, and put the whistle into his mouth facing the calm pool, but the next second he lowered his head in disappointment.

"It can't blow at all, is this broken?"

After several repeated attempts to no avail, Xia Zhuo shook in wonder, but there was nothing blocking the sentry hole, and the air flow was still flowing.

"Could it be a matter of time?" He remembered the word on the poster, thinking: "Specific conditions...what exactly are the conditions?"

"The prompt has been refreshed." Guan Yuzhou said suddenly behind him.

Xia Zhuo quickly raised his hand. While he was thinking about why the whistle could not be used, someone on the other side triggered the second death condition.
