Has anyone else been in this house?

Steve didn't understand what this sentence meant at first, so Lin Lan repeated it again, and explained that it didn't mean ghosts, but the smell of strangers spreading in the air.

Her frowns looked a little anxious. It was the first time that Lin Lan had sweated so much, and she was almost dehydrated, but now it was getting worse.

Steve's first reaction was that there was a burglar in the apartment, but then it turned out to be impossible.If it was a thief, he would definitely notice it, so he put this idea aside for the time being.

In fact, from the moment she walked into the room, Lin Lan had already smelled the extra smell mixed with the known smell, which was the smell of human beings, but she couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman from the thin smell.But then everyone's focus was on the bathtub, including herself, and then Steve's wound, and then her internal injury, so much going on at the same time that it was a bit overwhelming.

So she ignored it.

Just ignored, not forgotten.

And she thinks now is the time to bring it up.

Steve was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at her, then turned his gaze to the direction of the bathroom.Someone had been there a few hours before, of course, the bathtub workers, and he thought they were the others.

"No, the taste is different." Lin Lan shook her head and said under her breath, "You come with me first."

Steve really wanted to know the extent of Lin Lan's body injury right away, which was the part he cared about most, not who had been in this house.But Steve knew that she would not change the subject for no reason, so he chose to temporarily put aside the previous matter, focus on Lin Lan's thinking, and returned to the room just now under her leadership.

It's really a wave of ups and downs.

The blood-stained bed sheet was obviously put away by her, crumpled and placed on the stool, obviously because she didn't want her to see it.But the blood on the ground could not be completely wiped off, Steve grabbed her shoulders, showing a worried look, she even cleaned the room for a while, but couldn't deal with the details due to haste.

The pothos has returned to its fresh and full state, and the experience of this unlucky grass can write a long story.

The temperature inside the house was on the high side, and Steve could feel the change, and there was still a lot of humidity in the air.He poured a glass of water and handed it to Lin Lan, she drank it in two or three sips, and then she drank several large glasses one after another.Watching her abnormal behavior, Steve couldn't help showing the expression that most often appeared when he was worried.

"Don't do this." Lin Lan swallowed the last mouthful of white water, "You make me feel guilty."

"It's me who is guilty."

"What are you doing with guilt? I want to suck your energy away. I haven't had time to thank you yet." Lin Lan returned the water glass to him, then picked up the pen from the table and started writing in her notebook. Dao: [The worker who moved the bathtub has never entered your room and mine, and the smell is different, but this room has a third-party atmosphere. ]

Steve frowned and quickly finished reading, and said, "How do you feel now, is there anything uncomfortable?" Then he took the pen and wrote: [Are you sure? ]

Lin Lan nodded affirmatively, and then made a gesture with her hand, which meant that the whole room smelled of someone else.

Steve hasn't had any guests lately. After all, his friends are dead, or too old to walk, and no one will choose to come to his house as a guest.He has been living with Lin Lan for the past few days, and he is sure there will be no one else except the porters.And Steve has seen Lin Lan's keen sense of smell, which allows her to accurately distinguish many things, such as the sense of smell of animals.Therefore, he did not doubt the authenticity of what Lin Lan said.

He believed in her judgment, but he couldn't believe that someone would sneak into his house.

Surveillance cameras are installed everywhere on the telephone poles in this area, and the area is in good order, and there are very few cases of burglary.Steve went to the window and took a look, but he didn't find anything unusual. Even if someone broke through the window and entered the room, he could still detect clues, so it didn't seem like they came in through the window.

Nothing was lost at home, mainly because Steve didn't have anything of value to steal, well, nothing but the buckler and the LCD TV.But both of these things are there, and maybe no one will appreciate the buckler. There are many imitation toys on the market, but the TV is still there.

And a hundred dollar bill in the drawer too.

Other cash, in fact there is no cash in his room, most of his assets have been donated to welfare agencies.Every month, the pension will be credited to the account, and Steve is also used to using a credit card.Besides, if it was a thief, he would definitely rummage through the box and make a mess.

If it is really a thief.

But every corner of the house is clean, that is to say, the purpose of the visitor is not to steal, so what is it for? Who would go to such lengths to sneak into Captain America's house?

Lin Lan wrote again: [The taste is coming in from the outside. ]

She pointed in the direction of the door.

[Say something. ]

Steve wrote.

"I'm hungry." So Lin Lan blurted out and then shrugged, "Where's the steak?"

Steve smiled, and said cooperatively, "You go take a shower later, then change your clothes, and I will prepare dinner."

"I want to wear your light blue shirt." Lin Lan closed her eyes and smelled the slight, third-party breath in the air. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised with disbelief, " Can I use it as pajamas in the future, you seem to have put it at the bottom of the box." Even the tone of the voice changed.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with it." Seeing her sudden change of expression, Steve immediately wrote: [What else did you discover? ]

Lin Lan really wanted to say something, but she was afraid that the walls would have ears, so she had to write hastily: [This person is going through the main entrance! ]

Yes, the smell spreads here from the main entrance.

Lin Lan watched him meditate without saying a word, so she closed her mouth not to disturb Steve's thinking, so the room became abnormally quiet.Her head was still a little dizzy, and her heart rate was not so steady, but it was extremely annoying to have to think about a stranger's intrusion now.

But this is indeed an unbelievable situation. The other party was able to enter through the main entrance majesticly, and the door has no trace of being pried, which means that the other party has the key.Why did he appear in Captain America's apartment, is it an enemy or a friend, where did the key come from?

Steve frowned, seemingly confused.

Immediately afterwards, she began to write again: [There is a strange sound in the room, I don't know what it is. ]

Steve wrote: [What direction? ]

Lin Lan pointed at the position of the bedside table.

The sound is inaudible, and it is not a band that can be perceived by human hearing. No matter how good Lin Lan's hearing is, it is impossible to distinguish it.If she hadn't completely emptied herself during the meditation just now, in a state of scattered consciousness, and her five senses had almost reached the best moment beyond ordinary people, she would not have heard it at all.

The kind of electricity-like slag was continuously poured into her ears accompanied by a chaotic rhythm of long and short sounds. Lin Lan felt that the noise was so loud that she didn't even have the mood to meditate.So she had to temporarily stabilize the tumbling internal energy collision, and began to search the room for the source of the sound.

But she had already regained normal consciousness at that time, her ears could not hear the noise, and she had only just found the source.

Steve dumped everything out of the bedside table and flipped through the pages of the book, but found nothing.Then he moved the cabinet away, and there was nothing on the floor but dust and gray balls of fluff, and a dollar coin that had tumbled into it a few months ago.

Just when the two were at their wit's end, Steve turned the bottom of the cabinet over, and there was a small black circle less than half a centimeter stuck to the corner. They looked at each other, and then Steve snapped the small circle off.

The two people realized what it was almost at the same time.

Eavesdropper!

Steve's expression became serious again, and Lin Lan could sense that his emotions were fluctuating violently, yes, he was angry.Steve wanted to crush the damn thing with more force, but he didn't.He just used pliers to uncover the bug and cut the wires inside to keep it from working.He had already calculated in his mind that it would not be too difficult to guess who used this despicable method.

As expected, both Steve's room and Lin Lan's room had such bugs.They don't know whether this thing was installed just today or if it was there before, but since someone came in, they can tell that it must have been installed just now without too much trouble.

Steve almost turned the family upside down, but he restricted Lin Lan from joining the ranks of "ransacking the house", and she was ordered to rest aside.Lin Lan let himself go again and assisted Steve in finding it, so in the end a total of four bugging devices were found, and they were all placed in quite secretive or even unexpected places.

For example, behind the dressing mirror, under the bed, and in the corner of the cabinet.

"Why are people installing such things in our room?" Lin Lan was puzzled. "Could it be that your identity was discovered and someone wanted to make some breaking news?"

Their bed affairs in the past few days must have been heard by the other end of the bug. Well, maybe the focus should not be this, but Lin Lan immediately thought of this.This is really a despicable practice. If you install bugs in other people's homes, their secrets may be exposed. What a paparazzi with no moral bottom line!

If she catches who did it, let that person taste it!

Lin Lan thought so.

"Not the paparazzi." Steve pondered for a moment.

Yes, he is very angry now. If Lin Lan was not sitting in front of him at this moment, Steve might have gone to him with a shield to "reason".But he had to suppress his temper, otherwise the girl would mistakenly think that she had done something wrong.

"Not the paparazzi?" Lin Lan stared at the four black circles and said angrily, "Who dares to break ground on Captain America so boldly, are you tired of working?"

"Let's put this aside for now." Steve threw the bug into the drawer, "Tell me about your problem."

"Why does it feel like a prisoner is going to be interrogated?" With Steve's current mood, Lin Lan was a little "scared".

"This is not an interrogation, but you have to let me know your current physical condition." Steve looked into her eyes and said, "Your hands are very hot, and you still have a fever. I wonder if antipyretics will help you?"

Lin Lan lowered her head and smiled, then leaned forward and pecked him on the face: "Although you look terrible when you look fierce, I accept your concern, because this matter is related to whether my future will be smooth or not. Join the membership, so I will tell the truth." She paused, and then continued, "I absorbed part of your energy, which caused the imbalance of yin and yang, and the disorder of internal energy, which caused the blood to be unsatisfactory. The internal organs were overwhelmed, so I vomited blood , This is called internal injury in our martial arts."

"so?"

"So, I'm really not very good now, but it's definitely not as serious as you think." Lin Lan thought for a while, and said, "I expected this to happen, so I protected my heart from the beginning, and after an hour Breath adjustment, your energy is basically stable in my body, the next thing I have to do is to let it completely dissolve in my meridians."

"Will there be side effects?"

"will not have."

"Should I trust you?" Steve expressed his doubts.

"Steve, I have a sense of proportion. Besides, even if you don't let me join, if I want to follow, you may not be able to stop me. So, stop threatening me by saying that I am not allowed to join, It doesn't work." Lin Lan tilted her body back and said with high spirits, "Do you think I'm the one who makes fun of my body?"

"Aren't you?" Steve squeezed her hand, "You know absorbing my energy will cause..."

"internal injury."

"Yes, internal injuries, but you still insist on doing this, which is beyond your ability." Steve said, "If it is on the battlefield, this approach is absolutely unacceptable."

"I accept your criticism and education." Lin Lan said sincerely, "So let's not make an example."

Faced with his girlfriend's winking, Steve really had no choice but to make severe verbal criticism. He shook his head and said, "I don't trust you anymore. You have to do something to regain my confidence."

"Maybe, you will want to try the newly bought bathtub." Lin Lan got up and sat on his lap, "I don't think that bathtub can fit the two of us, why don't we try it?"

"Your beauty trick won't work." Steve wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him, "I won't be disturbed by you tonight."

"Oh, really?" Lin Lan said with her arms around his neck, "In fact, after receiving your energy, I will be more powerful than before. I guess you are afraid."

"Not tonight, you have internal injuries, you have to, adjust."

"It's breath adjustment."

"That's it." Steve kissed her forehead, "I'll make dinner, you go take a shower, we'll sleep in separate rooms tonight, I know you'll meditate at night."

"You know how to meditate now?"

He actually said the word "meditation" in Chinese.

"I know a lot more, but you'll have to go wash up now, and you'll be more comfortable. I'll get you the blue shirt, and it will be yours from now on."

Walking to the door of the bathroom, Lin Lan climbed on the door frame, her upturned butt made her back show a smooth arc.She looked back at Steve and said, "Are you really not going to use the new bathtub with me?"

The corner of his upturned mouth showed helplessness: "Don't try to seduce me, not today, I said."

Lin Lan didn't use the bathtub. If her internal injuries were not healed, if she soaked in the bathtub, her Qi and blood would flow backwards.She turned on the shower and poured cold water from head to toe, and the infuriating energy from her body made the whole bathroom foggy.

Gently tapping her aching head, Lin Lan stared blankly at the mirror in front of her.She wiped the fog off the mirror, and then stared at her pale face in the mirror in a daze for a while.

Then she closed her eyes, and she began to recall the images that suddenly appeared in front of her while she was meditating, as well as the voices rippling in her mind, those men's voices that kept repeating made her have a short period of insanity, accompanied by a splitting headache and suffocation .Lin Lan didn't know what was wrong, she had never felt this way before, at that moment she wanted to destroy everything in the house, tear up the unsightly green wallpaper, and smash the glass windows.

Her clenched fist raised the meridians on the back of her hand, and her nails were embedded in her palm.
