crime profiler in the dark

tonight, humble house

The humble house is located in the bustling commercial center of TMX City. With only three floors, it is incompatible with the towering steel forest around it, but the exterior layout is very palace-like and looks magnificent.

As soon as Bai Haolin drove the car to the dedicated lane of the humble house, a male waiter in a red and black robe came over. Bai Haolin handed him the car keys and walked towards the humble house.

There are twelve red lanterns hanging in front of the humble house, creating a festive and peaceful atmosphere.Just as Bai Haolin stepped into the humble house, the six waitresses standing behind the door, wearing red and black cheongsams and wearing peace buns on their heads, said in unison in a brisk tone:

"Welcome to the humble house."

"Do you have an appointment, sir?" One of the waitresses stepped forward and asked.

"I'm looking for Miss Lu." Bai Haolin said.

"Which Miss Lu are you looking for?" the waiter asked.

"Miss Lu Wanyu." Are there several Miss Lu?Bai Haolin secretly felt strange.

"Please follow me to the tea room and wait." The waiter made a gesture of "please" and led Bai Haolin to the back garden.

The tea room is equivalent to the waiting area, but the tea room in the humble house is different.

There is a courtyard behind the three-story dining hall of the humble house, but this courtyard is not an ordinary place for viewing flowers and fish, but for tea tasting.

The waiter led Bai Haolin to the entrance of the courtyard, and a tea room waitress dressed in white with cascading black hair hanging down her waist led Bai Haolin the way.

The courtyard of the humble house was built in imitation of Qin Shihuang's Afang Palace, of course, the area and scale are not as exaggerated as the Afang Palace.A long corridor embraces the courtyard in the shape of "冂".The corridor is about one meter wide, and the tea room is on the left. Guests can see the pleasant scenery in the center of the courtyard in the tea room.

It was already the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, and beige lanterns were hung on the side of the corridor. The distance between each lantern was about half a meter, and the faint light reflected the spotless nanmu floor in the corridor. Bai Haolin seemed to be in a peaceful and solemn temple.Although the sky has dimmed, there are firefly-like fluorescent lights flying in the courtyard, which brings out a kind of freshness and nature that cannot be experienced in the city.

Looking at the strange scene in the courtyard, Bai Haolin couldn't help admiring the builder's ingenious design. Just as he was about to reach the tea room prepared for him, the small orange dots floating in the center of the pond in the courtyard caught his attention.

Bai Haolin stood still, and found that the small orange dots in the pond were the light emitted by the boat loaded with candles.By the pond, a girl put folded boats in the pond. With her left hand holding her sleeves, she gently stroked in the water with her right hand. The boats slowly floated to the center of the pond. A little angry.

The waitress took Bai Haolin to the hut named "Bamboo", told him to wait here, and then left.
