Because of the rain, it got dark earlier than usual.
Xu Lang was sitting in the office, looking at the darkening night outside the window, feeling confused.
The rain has been falling, dripping, dripping, dripping, raindrops falling from a height of 10,000 meters, gently tapping on the windows, forming water stains one after another, one drop or two, and finally merged into one, forming a small
The small water flow slowly fell along the smooth glass, and finally merged into the larger water flow and was washed into the sewer.
Some people say that sewers are the dirtiest and most filthy places in a city, and they are also the best place to hide filth. However, Xu Lang feels that compared to sewers, people are the best place to hide filth, because no one
We know how bottomless and inhuman a person can be for a certain desire.
When Chen Qiumin's body was discovered, Xu Lang and others felt that Chen Qiumin's death method was too cruel and bloody. They thought that Sun Wenyao was a madman and a pervert. However, after learning the secret behind Chen Qiumin,
Xu Lang suddenly felt that compared with what Sun Wenyao did, the crimes behind Chenjiahe Village were the most unforgivable and unforgivable.
Of course, Xu Lang knew that his idea was inappropriate and dangerous, but compared to the crimes behind Chenjiahe Village, what Sun Wenyao did was really nothing.
Ai Jianbo once said that the reason why Sun Wenyao killed Chen Qiumin was because he wanted Xu Lang and the others to investigate the secrets behind Chenjiahe Village. Now, Xu Lang and the others are already investigating, and they are getting closer to the truth.
, However, Xu Lang couldn't figure out why Sun Wenyao did this?
Is it for justice?
When this idea appeared in his mind, Xu Lang himself was amused by this idea.
Sun Wenyao was a criminal and a traitor. He killed many people directly or indirectly, and also cultivated many criminals, such as Zhang Minhao, Li Zhaojing, and Bu Zimo. Although these people were eventually arrested or died, their feelings towards S
How much threat and harm this city brought. Xu Lang felt that this word could appear on anyone, but it could not appear on Sun Wenyao.
So, what is Sun Wenyao's purpose? Could it be that he is here for him? But, what is there in him that makes Sun Wenyao worthy of doing this?
Xu Lang has always had a big doubt in his heart, that is, why the people in the organization 'Master Chang' always deliberately target him. They seem to want to get something from him. However, Xu Lang
Lang didn't think there was anything in him worthy of what they did.
Xu Lang once investigated the relevant information of his father, mother, sister and even his grandfather. He did not find anything valuable from the relics left by them. However, the people of the organization 'Master Chang' are like Tarsus Bones.
Like maggots, no matter where Xu Lang went, he would encounter them. What made Xu Lang even more confused was that it seemed that in addition to the people from 'Master Chang' who were paying close attention to him, there were also high-level people from the police.
Xu Lang had no way of knowing who these people were and why they did what they did. Xu Lang was very confused. He wanted to find someone to ask, but who should he ask? 'Master Chang'.
People, or organizational leaders?
Neither the former nor the latter is possible, and this is also the main purpose of Xu Lang's return this time.
From his father, to his sister, and his brother, they all seemed to be involved in this matter, and they all died one by one. If Xu Lang were alone, he would definitely not care. At worst, the soldiers would come to cover up the water and the earth.
However, Xu Lang is not alone. He also has a daughter, Xiao Yueyue. He doesn't want Master Chang's people to target Xiao Yueyue. He wants to end all this before Xiao Yueyue grows up.
However, what Xu Lang didn't know was that his worry had become a reality, and Xiao Yueyue was also walking on Xu Lang's old path step by step. However, neither Xu Lang nor Xiao Yueyue noticed it.
————
The sky finally turned completely dark, but the rain outside never stopped.
Xu Lang leaned back on his chair tiredly, closed his eyes, and thought about the current cases.
It was already dinner time, and Xu Lang's stomach was already growling. However, he had no desire to eat. His mind was now filled with things related to the case, and Xu Lang was really worried about the successive interrogations.
exhausted.
"Click."
The office door opened. Xu Lang heard it but did not open his eyes. He thought it was Ding Haoqiong or someone else from CSY.
Someone walked towards Xu Lang with very light steps. As she approached, a faint fragrance floated into Xu Lang's nose.
Smelling the familiar smell, Xu Lang slowly opened his eyes and saw the familiar figure, Ye Du.
Ye Du was carrying a thermos bucket and a small bag in his hand. She put the bag next to her desk and put the thermos bucket in front of Xu Lang. When she saw Xu Lang opened his eyes and looked at her, Ye Du stretched out his hand.
She straightened her black hair on her temples, smiled at her lips, and looked at Xu Lang quietly, just like she had done many years ago, when she looked at him, it was enough to just look at him quietly.
"Why are you here?" Xu Lang sat upright from his chair and looked at Ye Du and asked in confusion.
"You haven't been home for several days. Xiao Yueyue can't see you and is very worried about you. I called and asked your people here and learned that you were injured, so I made you your favorite food.
I also brought you a change of clothes." Ye Du said in a calm tone.
Her voice is nice
, the tone is also very soft, and the words spoken are so natural. This is what a wife does to her husband. Ye Du is not Xu Lang's wife, not even his girlfriend, but she does it so naturally that it makes people
Unable to refuse, even when Xu Lang saw the thermos bucket and the bag on the ground, not only did he not feel strange, but he felt warm from the bottom of his heart. This feeling of being taken care of has not happened for a long, long time.
After Ye Du finished speaking, he carried the thermos bucket to the coffee table, opened the lid, and took out the dishes one by one. There were two side dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, with chicken soup at the bottom. The aroma of the food instantly
permeates the office.
Xu Lang did not sit on the chair anymore, but also walked over. Looking at the food on the table, he raised his head, looked at Ye Du and asked, "Why did you cook so much?"
"I heard you were injured, so I did this specifically."
After hearing this, Xu Lang smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand to get the chopsticks, but was slapped by Ye Du.
Xu Lang was confused when he was photographed. He raised his head, looked at Ye Du with confusion, and asked: "Isn't it for me to eat?"
Ye Du looked at Xu Lang's slightly childish look and said helplessly: "Wash your hands and eat before you wash your hands. Children know this kind of thing, why don't you know?"
"Oh, it's not clean. If you eat it, you won't get sick. Why should you wash your hands?"
Xu Lang rolled his eyes, and while talking, he went to get the chopsticks again, but Ye Du gently slapped him in the face and asked Xu Lang to wash his hands.
The two argued for a while, but in the end, Xu Lang was defeated. He had to stand up obediently and reluctantly went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Looking at Xu Lang's aggrieved expression, like a child who didn't grab the candy, Ye Du felt very funny, and at the same time, she also felt very warm. She knew what this young man with gray hair had experienced in these years. From Xu Lang
Ever since Lang entered the police academy, he has never been as childish as he is now.
Xu Lang entered the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and the tap water flowed out instantly. Xu Lang washed his hands while looking at himself in the mirror. At this time, not only was there no smile on his face, but his expression was solemn. He seemed to be worried about Ye Du's arrival.
This brought even greater pressure to him who was already under a lot of pressure, and the source of this pressure was Ye Du, who was sitting outside and looked like the girl next door.
After washing his hands and coming out of the bathroom, Xu Lang came to the sofa, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.
Seeing Xu Lang eating with gusto, Ye Du's big beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed into crescent moons, which was very moving.
"How is Xiao Yueyue doing lately?" Xu Lang asked while eating.
"It's good. She is very sensible. Apart from studying and reading, she doesn't go out much to play every day." Ye Du looked at Xu Lang and said with a smile.
"Sensible? You didn't see her little bully look. If you did, you wouldn't say she is sensible."
Xu Lang rolled his eyes and said, but as he said this, his eyes were full of smiles. Maybe every parent will be like Xu Lang when they hear others praising their children.
"Xiao Yueyue is really sensible and smart, like a little adult. Having a daughter like this will save you a lot of worry," Ye Du said with a smile.
Xu Lang smiled and nodded.
The dishes made by Ye Du were indeed delicious. Although the ingredients were simple, the craftsmanship was good. Xu Lang, who had no appetite at first, ate up all the food Ye Du brought by himself, which made Ye Du very happy.
.
Xu Lang can also cook, especially after having Xiao Yueyue, but Xu Lang's cooking is not as good as Ye Du and Ning Yanran. After returning to S City from Zhuxi County, Xiao Yueyue went
After Ning Yanran came back from home, she always disliked the food cooked by Xu Lang for not being delicious, which made Xu Lang very helpless. But now that Ye Du has appeared, Xiao Yueyue will probably dislike herself even more. Thinking of this, Xu Lang
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After finishing the meal, Xu Lang put down his chopsticks and burped. He felt comfortable all over and leaned lazily on the sofa.
At this time, Ye Du suddenly stretched out a hand with a tissue in his hand, and gently wiped the corners of Xu Lang's mouth. This made Xu Lang very uncomfortable. He quickly reached out and took Ye Du's hand.
Said: "I can do it myself."
"Click."
At this moment, the office door was pushed open again, and Luo Jiayan and Chen Lingxuan appeared at the door of the office, just in time to see this scene.
"Brother Lang, um, I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time."
Although Luo Jiayan has a baby face and looks like a little lolita, in fact, she is already an adult and there is nothing she does not understand. When she saw this scene, she immediately thought of something, apologized quickly, and then
Be prepared to leave.
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment and asked casually: "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"It's a small matter, but it's nothing. I can handle it myself." Luo Jiayan said quickly.
While Luo Jiayan said this, she looked at Ye Du who was sitting next to Xu Lang. She was secretly sizing up this strange woman. Chen Lingxuan did the same, looking at Ye Du curiously, especially Xu Lang and Ye Du.
The clasped hands, that ambiguous gesture.
Xu Lang soon realized something was wrong. He quickly let go of Ye Du's hand and said, "Things are not what you think."
"Brother Lang, you don't need to explain. I understand. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret." Luo Jiayan looked at Xu Lang who was a little embarrassed and said quickly.
"Things are really not what you think."
Xu Lang explained again, but when he looked at Luo Jiayan and Chen Lingxuan, he found that their eyes were strange, with an "I understand" expression, which made Xu Lang give up his plan to explain.
Ye Du also blushed a little, but she was not shy at all and just silently cleaned up the mess on the table.
After cleaning up, she stood up and said to Xu Lang: "I'm leaving first. Xiao Yueyue lives at my place. When are you done with your work, when will you take her back?"
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Xu Lang said.
Ye Du shook her head, and then walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned her head and told Xu Lang: "I brought three sets of changes of clothes. Remember to change your clothes when you are done.
It’s rancid.”
"I know." Xu Lang said subconsciously.
Ye Du stopped talking and turned around to leave. When passing Luo Jiayan and Chen Lingxuan, he smiled politely at them as a greeting.
After Ye Du left, Luo Jiayan ran to Xu Lang, stared into Xu Lang's eyes, rubbed Xu Lang up and down, and even got close to Xu Lang and smelled Xu Lang, and then,
He frowned and said, "Well, it's indeed rancid."
"Is there any?"
Xu Lang also smelled it himself, and there was indeed a smell, which made Xu Lang a little embarrassed. However, it was normal for a policeman to not change clothes for several days, and Xu Lang had long been used to it.
"Brother Lang, who is she? Sister-in-law?" Luo Jiayan asked curiously.
Xu Lang shook his head, glanced at the direction Ye Du left, and said, "No, a friend, a good friend."
"I think she's my girlfriend," Luo Jiayan joked.
Xu Lang originally wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he decided not to explain. Xu Lang still understood that the description became darker and darker, so he changed the subject and asked: "What's wrong? What do you want to do with me?"
?”
After hearing Xu Lang talk about business, Luo Jiayan temporarily put away her curiosity.
"Her transcript has been completed, what should we do next?"
"What should I do? Once the notes are finished, you can leave." Xu Lang said without thinking.
Luo Jiayan first glanced at Xu Lang, then turned to look at Chen Lingxuan, who was sitting opposite them, and whispered: "This is her first time in S city. She is not familiar with the place and knows no one. How can you let me
If she leaves, where can she go?"
Hearing what Luo Jiayan said, Xu Lang remembered this matter.
After returning from Chenjiahe Village, Xu Lang and Ding Haoqiong were busy non-stop and had long forgotten about Chen Lingxuan. Now, when he saw her, Xu Lang remembered this matter.
Indeed, this is Chen Lingxuan's first visit to S City. She originally had her fellow villagers here. However, these fellow villagers of hers were arrested by Xu Lang and the others, and she will definitely not be able to go back to Chenjiahe Village.
, even if she wants to go back, she has no way to go back. Chenjiahe Village is now in ruins, and she has nowhere to stay if she goes back.
Xu Lang would be worried if Chen Lingxuan was left alone. On the other hand, the reason why Xu Lang was able to successfully escape from Chenjiahe Village was all because of Chen Lingxuan's help. Without him, Xu Lang would now be
How, it is really hard to say, Xu Lang should help her both emotionally and rationally. However, Xu Lang is a man, and he is also a single man with a child. It is definitely impossible for him to let Chen Lingxuan live in his own home. As for letting
When she went to Ye Du's house, Xu Lang never even thought about it.
As for Ning Yanran, let’s not mention that Ning Yanran is still busy in Chenjiahe Village. It’s just what happened to Xu Lang and Chen Lingxuan that night. Although nothing happened between the two of them, Xu Lang still didn’t want to know more.
People know.
Suddenly, Xu Lang also felt a little dizzy.
Finally, Xu Lang looked at Luo Jiayan and said, "How about letting her live at your place temporarily?"
"Stay at my place?"
Luo Jiayan opened her mouth wide and looked at Xu Lang in surprise.
"What? No way? Anyway, there are only two of you and Fan Yang in your dormitory. If she lives with you, wouldn't it be nice for you to have more company?" Xu Lang said.
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Luo Jiayan looked at Chen Lingxuan who was silent, turned her head, looked at Xu Lang, hesitated, and said, "This is not convenient."
"Inconvenient? What's the inconvenience? You are all women." Xu Lang said in confusion.
Luo Jiayan seemed to have something to hide. Maybe she was worried that Chen Lingxuan was nearby, so she couldn't say it directly, so she said: "In short, it's just inconvenient."
"Officer Xu, why don't you give me some money and I'll go out and rent a house. When I find a job and make money, I'll pay it back to you." Chen Lingxuan, who had been silent for the whole time, finally spoke.
However, Xu Lang shook his head and rejected Chen Lingxuan's proposal. Let alone letting Chen Lingxuan, an underage girl with no social experience, live alone outside. Luo Jiayan's hesitant look just now made Xu Lang
He felt that there must be something wrong here, so Xu Lang thought for a while and said to Luo Jiayan: "You find a hotel near CSY and open a room for her. I will pay for it."
"good."
"Excuse me, Officer Xu." Chen Lingxuan said.
Xu Lang shook his head, looked at Luo Jiayan, and signaled that they could go out.
Luo Jiayan did not drag her feet and left with Chen Lingxuan. However, she put down a document before leaving. After they left, Xu Lang picked up the document and read it. After only reading a few pages, Xu Lang
