nursery rhymes

Chapter 16 Attacked
On the right side of Xinxin Xiangrong Supermarket, there is indeed a nail salon with a pink door.Zhuge Yang raised his head and glanced at the name of the nail salon: Liren Nail Art.

There are red letters posted on the transparent glass of the store: manicure, eyelashes, eyebrow tattoo, and hairdo.

Entering the door is a long table about three meters long covered with a solid pink tablecloth.There are two ladies sitting on the outside, and the owner of the nail salon with wavy curls and bright makeup on the inside.

Zhuge Yang lowered his head and glanced at an item on the table that was emitting purple light, then took out his ID and explained his purpose.

The owner of the nail salon is named Shang Lili. Judging from her makeup, it is impossible to estimate her real age.Although her makeup is bright, it is not strong.Zhuge Yang looked her up and down a few times, but didn't see anything in common between the other party and 'Singing Lily'.

After hearing the purpose of his entry, Shang Lili said with some embarrassment: "Comrade police, you have also seen that two of my customers are waiting here. It is getting dark. I will do perfect manicure for these two customers." It's closed. How about you go to another place first and come back later? Or maybe another day, another day when I'm not busy here, I can cooperate in any way."

Shang Lili's voice was neutral and her speech was very fast. It was almost impossible to hear the breath exchanges and sentence breaks in her words.

Ever since Zhuge Yang came out of Xinxin Xiangrong Supermarket, he has been in a state of erratic state.Subconsciously turned around and came to the nail salon, knowing that he was going to investigate here, but he didn't think about what time it is now.

Hearing what Shang Lili said, he took out his phone and checked the time.It’s already 17:42 pm. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'll come back another day."

Passing by the door of Xinxin Xiangrong Supermarket, I heard a childish girl's voice calling her mother inside.

"Mom, I finished my homework."

"You're done writing, wash your hands, and have dinner right away."

"Mom, what are you having for dinner tonight?"

"Eat your favorite tomato scrambled eggs."

"Okay, okay."

Zhuge Yang glanced inside the supermarket and saw Yao Xin's figure flashing in the middle of the shelves. He hurriedly hid behind the door.

The sliding glass door of the supermarket was closed from the inside, and the sound of the metal latch on the door clicking and locking could be heard.She didn't come out to pull down the rolling shutter door. She probably just closed it temporarily during dinner.

Zhuge Yang felt the thumping sound in his chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she didn't come out, otherwise, what would it be for him to hide here?
He moved his steps and walked all the way back to the police station without realizing it, and walked to the door of the office area.He heard the voices inside, including Xiao Liang, Xiao Jiang, and Yin Zihe.

Xiao Liang said: "When I look at it, the people the old man likes and collect are all beautiful women. Didn't you see that the old man's hair is all white and shaved, half of his teeth are missing, and the other half is long. It’s yellow. He even asked me with a smile if all the ones he collected were beautiful. I’ll go.”

Yin Zihe said: "The old man's taste is better than Feng Yaozhong's, at least he won't be disgusted by it."

Xiao Jiang snorted and said, "You men will only be honest if you hang them on the wall."

As soon as Zhuge Yang's figure appeared at the door, Xiao Liang, who was lying on the back of the chair facing the door, saw it.He spoke quickly and immediately counterattacked: "Xiao Jiang, your man is back."

Xiao Jiang was sitting with his back to the door. When he heard this sentence, he subconsciously didn't refute but turned around to look.

At the door, only a phantom was left.

Zhuge Yang ran out of the police station as if running away, swept a small yellow car from the side of the road, and pedaled to the track where his master died.

The weather was damp and gloomy, with scattered raindrops occasionally falling on my forehead and cheeks.

Zhuge Yang stopped the yellow car and locked it, then sat on the curb with his fists pressed against his forehead, immersed in the quiet mood at the moment.Two years ago, the master mentioned that he wanted to introduce his niece to him.The master's niece has just graduated from college and studied forensic medicine and has settled in QHD City.

The master thinks that the two of them can add their contact information first, and then gradually get to know each other and see if they are compatible with each other.

Zhuge Yang told his master the truth at that time that there was still someone in his heart that he couldn't let go of.He has no intention of getting to know others before letting go.

For so many years, he has been following the news in the QQ classmate group.When I was in high school, most people didn't have mobile phones, so it was difficult to get the contact information of my classmates.This group of classmates is still connected bit by bit.

This year, this classmate met that classmate, added his contact information, and became a member of the classmate group.

Next year, several more will be added.

But in the past ten years, more than half of the high school classmates in the same grade have gathered together, except Yao Xin.Zhuge Yang once thought that Yao Xin had an accident and was no longer in this world.

Later, there were too many things in the bureau, and he had less and less time to pay attention to his classmates.

The appearance of Xiao Jiang made him understand that it was time to move forward.

Xiao Jiang's personality is completely opposite to Yao Xin's, and it can even be said that there is no similarity at all.Zhuge Yang didn't know when he started to be attracted to Xiao Jiang.

In the past, he thought that what he liked was Yao Xin's appearance, gentle, weak, and quiet.When he looked at her, he felt full of protective desire, wanting to protect her in his arms and shield her from all wind and rain.

But Xiao Jiang is different. Xiao Jiang has a cheerful, enthusiastic and direct personality.She doesn't need the protection of others, and her strength is worth bursting.Zhuge Yang had to be extremely careful when fighting her in close combat, otherwise he would suffer big losses.

The two people grew up in different environments.Yao Xin was raised by her grandmother. Her parents worked abroad all year round and they were not home. Living expenses were tight and she had to think carefully about everything she bought.

Yao Xin has an avoidant personality, that is, an 'honest person' who is too shy.She is not indifferent and withdrawn from the world, but she always feels that she is inferior to others, and she always looks at people's faces when interacting with them.She is very sensitive and only communicates with people she clearly feels likes her. She is afraid of making a fool of herself or speaking out in public.Even though Yao Xin has excellent grades, she still lacks self-confidence and is cautious when making friends.

When he got along with Yao Xin, Yao Xin always accommodated his preferences. To put it bluntly, Yao Xin just didn't dare to express his preferences.She is afraid that her preferences will cause trouble or trouble to the other party.But to put it nicely, her character is a kind and lovable type.She seldom makes friends with others, but she has very few friends.

Zhuge Yang understood the reason for her low self-esteem and timidity. Her parents didn't like her, they beat and scolded her since she was a child, and belittled her everywhere.If grandma hadn't been so kind to her, she would probably have become an autistic child.

Xiaojiang grew up in a relatively wealthy family. This wealth is not only limited to economic wealth, but also in terms of knowledge.My father is an English teacher and my mother runs a musical instrument store.She grew up in a warm environment, and her parents took good care of her, but they never interfered with her choices.

If Yao Xin is like the morning glory that blooms shyly in the corner of the wall, Xiao Jiang is like the sunflower that raises its head and faces the sun.

Zhuge Yang rubbed his scalp, stood up slowly, and moved his legs, which were numb as if electric current had passed through them.

Nothing happened to Yao Xin. Not only did she live well, she also got married and had children.The promise made when we were young doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

Of the two, he was the first to be moved and took it seriously.

Seeing each other now seemed like a lifetime ago, and he had no intention of sorting out his emotional problems.The murderer of the nursery rhyme murder case has not yet been caught. He has not yet found out whether the death of his master is related to the murder case.

My legs felt relieved, and my ears seemed to have recovered their hearing. A sound breaking through the air came from behind my head.

Before Zhuge Yang could turn his head to look, he received a heavy blow to the back of his head.At the last moment when his eyes fell into darkness, he could only see the asphalt road zooming closer.

On the road, the raindrops made black marks, and the black marks became more and more numerous and denser.
