When going back, Li Nanke got on Bai Buai's carriage again.
After spending most of the day together, Li Nanke had a preliminary understanding of this young prince.
To be honest, it's hard to like it, but it's not that annoying either.
It's not that smart to say he's smart.
It's not stupid to say it's stupid.
He has the dandy nature of a child from a dissolute family, but he is not out of line, but he likes to be in the limelight.
Of course, to understand a person requires long-term observation.
People are very good at pretending.
Especially people with special identities like to disguise themselves.
"Let me tell you, Detective Li, through my careful analysis, I feel that something is wrong with Mrs. Xu. We should focus on her..."
Bai Buai Balabala said a lot of useless nonsense.
And he looked quite proud.
It was as if his brain had turned into a super detective like a planet spinning at high speed.
Li Nanke saw the melon seeds on the small table and ate one casually. He found that it tasted very good, so he pulled down the curtains and tied them into a package, and poured a plate of melon seeds into it.
I have no other ideas, I plan to give it to the little rabbit.
"You think what I said makes sense."
Bai Buai, who had been talking for a long time, had a dry mouth. He picked up the wine bottle and took a few sips. He looked at Li Nanke and asked.
"Are there any delicious snacks?" Li Nanke asked.
"ah?"
Bai Buai was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously pointed to the bag in the corner and said, "There are some candied fruits and the like there."
"Thanks."
Seeing the carriage driving not far from Meng Xiaotu's home, Li Nanke picked up the bag and jumped out of the carriage.
"Detective Li, where are you going? Take me with you."
Bai Buai wanted to jump out of the carriage, but Li Nanke waved his hand and said, "I'm going to have a romantic relationship, so don't follow me!"
Bai Buai stopped his movements, hesitated and finally did not jump.
He muttered something in a low voice and got back into the carriage.
After a few seconds, he stuck his head out of the car window and shouted:
"Detective Li, just have fun, but don't show any real feelings! You have to be like me, get what you want but don't love it, only then will you become a strong person!"
"hehe."
Li Nanke responded with a sneer on the back of his head.
…
When he arrived at Meng Xiaotu's house, Li Nanke thought the girl was sleeping and building a house in her dream. He never thought that the girl was sitting with Grandma Meng, looking into the distance.
The old man is still the same as before.
It's like a sculpture carved by an artist in his twilight years, which freezes his life at the last moment of his life.
Trying to retain something, and remembering something.
Watching quietly.
The light of expectation in his eyes has dimmed over time, leaving only habitual waiting.
Meng Xiaotu rested her head on the old man's shoulder.
The calves swayed slightly with the wind, and they were slender and full of youthful vitality.
What Grandma Meng is looking at is the person who was once trapped deep in her memory.
But Meng Xiaotu looked at the scene in front of her.
One old and one young, savoring their own taste of life.
"Grandma Meng, I'm here!"
Li Nanke said hello loudly, and before the old man could speak, he continued loudly: "I want to marry Meng Xiaotu! I won't marry you! Don't worry."
"Shut up!"
Meng Xiaotu blushed and glared.
Seeing Li Nanke take out a bag of delicious food, the annoyance on her face suddenly turned into surprise, and she hugged it in her arms with a sweet and joyful smile.
Grandma Meng turned around and smiled at Li Nanke, then looked at Phoenix Mountain.
The old man did not nag as deliberately as before.
"Delicious."
The girl took out a bright purple dried fruit and put it in her mouth to taste it, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
She tore off some of the softer ones and put them to Grandma Meng's mouth, "Grandma, try it. It's so sweet. It's different from the ones I bought at the Wen Shop before."
"No, no, I have no teeth."
The old man waved his hands in disgust.
But Meng Xiaotu couldn't stand it and kept persuading her, so she finally opened her mouth and tasted a little.
"It's delicious."
Meng Xiaotu's eyes were as curved as crescent moons.
The old man had no teeth, so he could only grind them bit by bit with his dry mouth. He still waved his hands in disgust, "It tastes terrible, I won't eat it, I won't eat it..."
"Humph, if you don't want to eat, I will."
Meng Xiaotu put the candied fruit into her mouth and felt it was fragrant and sweet. She turned her pretty jade cheek and asked the man, "Where did you buy it?"
"I do it by myself."
"Tch, go ahead and lie to ghosts."
"Is it really delicious? Give me a taste. My hands are a little dirty and it's hard to handle."
Li Nanke opened his mouth.
"Go and wash your hands, you are not a child." Meng Xiaotu didn't tolerate him, and moved the bag containing snacks to her side, for fear that the man would touch it.
"Forget it, I'll just try it."
Li Nanke suddenly grabbed the girl's wrist. While the girl was in a daze, he lowered his head and sucked the candied fruit stains on the girl's porcelain white fingers, nodded and said, "Not bad, it's definitely delicious."
"what are you doing!?"
Meng Xiaotu reacted belatedly and quickly withdrew his hand. The jade was red and the melon seeds in his little head were as hot as boiling.
She glanced at her grandma and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she didn't notice anything.
Then he glared at the man fiercely and whispered: "Don't bully me in front of grandma, or she will hit you on the head with a cane!"
"I'm so good to you, why would grandma be willing to beat me?"
Li Nanke smiled and said, "On the contrary, it's you who looks disgusted with me. I'll hit you when I need to."
"I just dislike you." Meng Xiaotu spat out her sweet tongue at the man like a little girl, but felt that her behavior was too childish, so she made a face and hummed, "Grandma loves me the most, so she won't
Hit me."
"I want to marry you, will you marry me?"
“Don’t marry—ouch!”
Meng Xiaotu hugged her head, turned to look at her grandma, and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, why did you hit me?"
Grandma Meng said nothing and stared into the distance.
As if to say, it's not me, don't look at me.
Looking at the gloating smile on the man's face, Meng Xiaotu pinched the man's arm angrily.
Maybe he felt that he had pinched her a little too hard, so he rubbed it twice quickly, but then he straightened his face and pretended to be angry: "If you don't want to marry, you won't marry. Even if you beat me to death, I won't marry."
It sounds like it's for grandma, but it also sounds like it's for men.
But after all, I didn’t say it to myself.
Li Nanke smiled and changed the subject, "I'm investigating a case today. Accompany me to a place tonight. I want to see if you can enter that person's dream of red rain."
"Sister Leng's case?"
"Um."
"Okay, call me anytime." Meng Xiaotu nodded.
The two of them stopped talking and fell into silence.
Li Nanke glanced at the dreamy Phoenix Mountain, then sat next to the girl.
What was originally a scene of two people was fixed as three people.
None of the three people spoke anymore, and looked into the distance silently.
At some point, Meng Xiaotu's head rested on the man's shoulder...
…………
In the afternoon, as soon as Li Nanke returned to the Night Patrol Division, he was called out by Leng Siyuan.
The two even specially disguised themselves.
On the way, Leng Siyuan asked Li Nanke, who was full of doubts: "Did you encounter difficulties in investigating the case at Fengyunhui today?"
"right."
Li Nanke nodded and told everything he had investigated.
Leng Siyuan did not ask any more questions, and secretly took Li Nanke to Xunfang Pavilion.
Xunfang Pavilion has reopened.
In order to pursue a more profound Buddhist teaching, the girls started the difficult journey of learning Buddhist scriptures again.
When he came to a private room at the corner, Leng Siyuan knocked on the door several times, seemingly rhythmically, three, three, one, three.
After a while, a thumping sound came from inside.
It was a knocking sound on the table.
"Come in."
Leng Siyuan pushed open the door and entered with Li Nanke.
Sitting in the box was a young man with a handsome appearance and a scar carved on his eyebrows.
This man is none other than Wen Wu, whom Li Nanke met at Fengyun Club this morning.
The moment he saw Wen Wu, Li Nanke understood everything.
Sure enough, just look for the most handsome one undercover.
