He Si looked at Deng Chensha's reserved back and knew that the problem had basically been solved. She breathed a sigh of relief, stirred the coffee unconsciously, and turned her attention to Qin Jian.

"How did you come?"

Before Qin Jian, the rich man's son, could put away his arrogance, his eyes wandered, and he said a few more words to fit the character: "Of course we have found clues."

"Really!" He Si's eyes lit up and she raised her voice involuntarily. When she saw the waiter approaching with the cake, she looked guilty and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"

The girl in front of her was still the same person as when they first met, but she was different in every way. Especially her expression at this moment was so dynamic and changeable that it would never appear on the face of He Si, who was always cautious before.The girl herself may not be aware of this change, but Qin Jian sees it clearly and is even more teasing.

"I won't tell you." His voice sounded arrogant at the end.

"Eh?" He Si had never seen Qin Jian like this and couldn't answer the question for a moment.

Changes need to be brewed little by little. Knowing that he could not force her too hard at once, Qin Jian softened his tone and said, "I am working hard to investigate the case, but Ah Si is here drinking coffee."

"I, I, I..." He Si couldn't resist and stumbled several times before she could finish a complete sentence, "I also had a hard time drinking this coffee."

Qin Jian was just teasing her. After achieving his goal, he naturally wanted to give her a step up and said softly: "It seems that I came at the right time."

"Then what did you find out?"

Qin Jian was silent, and He Si heard the sound of strong footsteps coming from behind again, more steady than when he left, but a little more unsatisfactory.

"Mr. Qin is really powerful."

"I'm just borrowing Ah Si's light."

It was the same words he said when they first met, but the first time it was to protect him, but now it sounds like he was showing off.

Deng Chensha didn't know whether he had really learned a lesson or was harboring other bad ideas. He wasn't upset and just said respectfully: "Then I'll take my leave first. Please ask Mr. Qin to send He Si home."

There seemed to be other meanings in these words, but Qin Jian did not accept his move. He just asked He Si, "Do you need me to send it to you?"

"I know the way myself."

"Haha." Deng Chensha smiled sincerely, with no trace of displeasure on his face, "It seems that not only Miss He, but Mr. Qin is also really interesting."

"Mummy."

"It's the gadgets that are interesting, but we are special," He Si said as she finished the last bite of the cake and wiped the corners of her mouth carefully, "I'm going to pay the bill. This meal is my treat. I'll treat it as an introduction to you two." ”

Deng Chensha had never had the habit of asking women to pay when eating out. He was about to refuse when he saw Qin Jian still lying on the sofa, looking like an old god. He seemed to accept He Si's arrangement happily, so he had Following the same example, he also took back the words that had come to his lips and changed his words: "Thank you then."

"No thanks, goodbye." After He Si said that, she suddenly felt that the word "goodbye" was very unlucky. The word rolled on the tip of her tongue again. She secretly sighed a few times in her heart and watched the god of plague leave.

"Can you talk now?"

"it's here?"

"How about we talk while walking?" He Si looked at the fresh cake on the table, a little reluctant to part with it, but in the end, everything about the dream prevailed.

"Eat." Qin Jian was most disgusted by He Si's kitten-like appearance. He changed his sitting position, leaned forward, rested his elbows on the table, and closed the distance between the two of them. Then he said half jokingly and half seriously: "I'll speak more quietly."

"Well, then keep your voice down." He Si also leaned her head over, with cream still hanging from the corners of her mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.

In such an ambiguous atmosphere, Qin Jian solemnly told He Si about several suspicious cases that had been screened out and the investigation that extended from them.He Si listened to these ordinary but strange cases, thinking about her bloody dream, and ate the last tiramisu with great force.

Finally, he put down his spoon, frowned, and confirmed: "They all happened in the same town, but there has never been a similar case in this town before?"

Qin Jian nodded.

"Have you ever thought that maybe Wu Litian was the source of the incident? In my first dream, the person who jumped from the building was a woman."

He Si was talking about the first woman on November 11st. Qin Jian continued to nod.

"Then...has there been a conclusion?"

This time, Qin Jian finally shook his head: "Fan Yu is investigating all three of them, including their personal relationships and other connections hidden under the surface, but I don't think the problem lies with Wu Litian."

"why?"

"It's too fast," Qin Jian was still shaking his head, "She happened on November 11st. Three days later it was the turn of the student in his early 1s, and then two days later it was the delivery boy's turn. It was all done in one go, unlike It’s a causal relationship, which is more consistent with a parallel connection.”

"That is to say... they all got into accidents for the same reason." He Si's heart was troubled again after being healed by the dessert, "That reason is the white-haired old man and his mount in my dream?"

"I think that intention still points more to cultural relics, rather than the cause of the case."

The two still couldn't talk about going together, and He Si was a little frustrated: "Then what should we do?"

Although she was frustrated, the word "we" was very helpful to Qin Jian. He finally extended an olive branch: "Fan Yu and I are going to Yanzhen tonight to visit. If Asi is not afraid of being tired..."

"Don't be afraid!" He Si interrupted Qin Jian's words by patting her chest, "I'll come find you at night, go to the Mirror Gallery."

"Okay." Qin Jian agreed immediately.

"Wait a minute," He Si suddenly remembered her vision, "Would it be too stressful to step on three points in one night? If I go, can I start now?"

"Let's wait. I remember the last time I was looking for clues in front of the teaching building, Ah Si was stopped three times by male classmates."

"That time was..." He Si thought for a while, but she really couldn't explain it clearly, and replied resignedly, "Then let's wait until night."

He Si reluctantly sent Qin Jian away and returned to the hotel in a dusty journey. She tried her best to comfort the senior brothers, and repeatedly told her that she was tired and had to take a good nap and never call herself. Finally I was able to sneak into the room, lock the door, take a deep breath, and throw myself on the bed.

She looked at the time and saw that it was already past six o'clock in the evening. Deng Chensha's evildoer simply didn't show up, otherwise she would have to worry a lot more.

"Little Nine."

He Si walked to the window and opened the closed window a crack. As the cold wind broke in, a small black figure also rushed in, flew around the room, and landed obediently on He Si's shoulder. .

"Let's go." She picked up the phone and held the cold key.

"Chirp..." Xiao Jiu called out gently, grabbing He Si's shoulder with her claws, as if she was a little excited. "You must be happy to be able to have adventures again." He Si touched its head and walked towards the dressing mirror at the door.

"Chirp." Xiaojiu had already flown off her shoulder and landed on the bedside table, refusing to leave.

Is it the first time that the little thing is going to enter a dream in a physical form? The little thing is scared?He Si could only stop, turn back, and squat down by the bed.

"What's wrong?" she whispered.

"Chirp." Xiao Jiu was still whispering, staring at He Si with a pair of black and bright eyes, but his expression was very calm.

The screams became lower and lower, and He Si became suspicious.Xiao Jiu can talk. If something really happens, he can communicate with me, but now he looks like this - he obviously has something to say, but he can't say it, or he doesn't dare to say it?
He Si felt a chill go down her spine. Someone in the room was looking at her.

She calmly stretched out her hand, letting Xiao Jiu jump up to her fingertips, and leaned her ear towards him. Her long black hair almost completely covered the little bird, and she finally heard a low voice.

"Monitoring, on the TV box."

It turned out to be the case.

He Si had heard about the surveillance in hotel rooms, but she had never taken it to heart. But now about the surveillance in the single room... He Si thought about it, and finally targeted the bastard Deng Chensha.

"Afraid or not, what's wrong?" He Si pretended to stroke the pet in her palm and walked step by step towards the TV cabinet facing the big bed.He thought that Deng Chensha would become smarter after suffering Qin Jian's losses twice, but he didn't expect that he would become more sinister. Fortunately, Xiaojiu discovered his trick, otherwise she would have caused trouble by disappearing in the mirror in front of him. What an uproar.

Maybe you can find something to block the camera. As soon as He Si thought of this solution, she shook her head. It was too deliberate.And although she had some concerns in her heart, she didn't want to wrongly accuse Deng Chensha, so she might go downstairs and change rooms first - if other rooms were monitored, it would be the hotel's problem, if not, it would be Deng Chensha's fault.

Why not just act in front of the surveillance camera?

"There must be something dirty in this room, right?" He Si muttered to herself in front of the TV, her eyes showing worry and fear. She held Xiao Jiu in her heart, stood up suddenly, and left quickly. Room.

The room change journey went smoothly and the new room was very clean. After He Si cursed Deng Chensha in her heart, she took the key and came to the dressing mirror.

Perhaps because of running up and down, the woman's hair in the mirror was a little frizzy, and her eyes were not as gentle as before.After working hard for several days, there was a faint blue-black layer under the eye circles, and the corners of the eyes were slightly red, which looked not to be trifled with.She smoothed her hair, revealing a crow standing on her shoulder. The little crow also tilted its head in response to her movements, adding a bit of aura to the person in the mirror.

"Set off."

He Si encouraged herself, then put her warm palms against the cold mirror, with the key Qin Jian gave her in between.

"The door of the mirror is opened, the bright moon is flowing with frost, the boundary of the mirror is opened, the jade box is clear, the realm of the mirror is unfolded, the golden sand is flowing with dreams, the mirror is empty, and the clouds are floating on the Yaotai."

He Si stared at the person in the mirror, a spell emerged, reality and illusion began to reverse, the hardness of her fingertips turned into soft void, recalling this familiar touch, she stepped in.

She didn't know where her destination was, but just by walking into the Mirror Gallery and looking at the endless corridor and the shining mirrors all around, He Si felt cheerful and her fatigue was gone.After walking a few steps further, I saw the meticulous old Chaofeng and Fan Yu sitting on the floor.

"So early."

"Just arrived."

"Didn't you see that I can't even stand waiting?" Fan Yu stood up and patted his butt, "Let's go, start work early and rest early. I even made an appointment with Jiang Huai for a drink today."

Both He Si and Qin Jian were used to his complaints. When they walked out of the mirror corridor again, it was already dark.

The first stop was Wu Litian’s home in Tongji Community.

This was originally a piece of wasteland on the outskirts of the town. Ten years ago, due to the demolition of surrounding farmers, resettlement houses were built on the wasteland. Tongji Community is one of them.Because it was built relatively early, there was no elevator, and it was not the high-rise building that is popular today. It was low-rise.Coupled with the poor geographical location of the community and incomplete surrounding facilities, the occupancy rate has always been low.

When a few people arrived, only a few lights were shining with orange light, and the entire community was gray and dormant in the night, like a giant beast ready to prey.

Looking at the silence, Fan Yu sighed and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"It feels a bit cold." He Si tightened her clothes, and Xiao Jiu hid in her pocket.

"It's indeed quite cold." Fan Yu followed, not sure whether he was talking about the weather or He Si's expression.

Continuing to walk towards the community, the street lights are dim, and the turf illuminated by the lights is withered, yellow and mottled, like the skin of a giant beast with ringworm.The roads are narrow, dilapidated, and full of potholes, exuding an old-fashioned atmosphere just like the buildings with peeling walls.There were two trash cans, one blue and one green, placed in front of each building. Fortunately, early winter had arrived and the weather was cold, so He Si did not smell the unpleasant smell. However, there was a faint black water of rotten garbage flowing out from the bottom of the barrel. The property in the community looked Not responsible.

He Si tried hard to observe everything around her, trying to find familiar illusions in these unfamiliar scenery, but she found nothing.

The three of them and one bird walked and looked around like this, and came to the downstairs where Wu Lisheng lived.

"Don't you feel anything until now?"

He Si looked around seriously again and replied seriously: "No."

Fan Yu kicked a stone away from his feet. The stone stopped just in front of the building. He looked up at the dark attic and said, "Let's go up and have a look."

On the first, second, and third floors, except for her own increasingly heavy breathing, the surroundings were silent.

Concrete steps, wrought iron handrails, He Si's nerves became tighter and tighter as he spun up, but everything was normal, without any ripples.Just when He Si was restless, there was a cough from behind, followed by Lao Chaofeng's seemingly casual words: "We haven't reached the place yet, don't worry."

"I'm not in a hurry, Uncle Qin, please climb slowly." Fan Yu, who had already reached the sixth floor first, revealed half of his face from the top of the escalator, "How about I go for a run with you before I get back from this mission?"

"That's troublesome. I buy breakfast for Xiao Shitou at the foot of the mountain every day."

"This is not good. The breakfast outside is not as healthy as the one cooked at home."

"Then come earlier and help him make breakfast."

"Let's discuss it again, discuss it again, let's get down to business first."

"How do we get in?" He Si listened to the two people's banter, and her anxiety dissipated. She also came to the sixth floor. A brown wooden door stood in front of the three of them. A Bagua mirror on the door was covered with dust.

As if he could see what He Si was thinking, Fan Yu looked sad and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket: "Xiao He, you can't just take shortcuts in everything. Sometimes, you have to have a normal mind. "

As soon as Fan Yu finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the closed corridor. Fan Yu shrank his neck, while He Si could not help but take a step back, almost leaning into Lao Chaofeng's arms.

"Did you see something now?" Fan Yu kept holding the key and did not open the door.

He Si stared at the Bagua mirror on the door with wide eyes. There was still nothing on the gray lens.

"Open the door first." Lao Chaofeng gave the final instruction.
