Chapter 4
Luo Xiao felt that it was really uncomfortable.

Why did he kiss her, after she was alone in the world.

But this was clearly what she was looking forward to.It's like a tired bird bumping into a gentle branch, like a child trembling when he gets the candy he really wants to eat in the dark.

She subconsciously pushed him away.Although it was late, although he had kissed her "fully".

He looked up at her without speaking.That handsome face unexpectedly seemed to have a trace of red cloud.

"Why push me?" He suddenly smiled, with a cynical but stubborn taste.

Luo Xiao bowed his head hastily: "I...Xiaomei also told me that the house on the other street is good, I went to see it. Don't come with me." His tone was firm, and he refused completely.

Han Tuo has always been a handsome man.Of course, forced kissing doesn't count.That's not something he can control, and he doesn't want to control it.Seeing that Luo Xiao's entire face was flushed, he looked like a mouse caught by a cat.Han Tuo also felt a little confused in his mind, so why did he kiss her.

"Yeah." He replied lightly, "You go."

Just as the rain was getting lighter, Luo Xiao took out his hat from his backpack, put it on his head, and walked out of the roof without looking back: "See you later."

"Luo Xiao, see you later." His voice was very clear and powerful, passing through the rain curtain into her ears.

Luo Xiao's heart seemed to hurt slightly, and he strode into the rain.

What a special man he was, she thought.

The world is full of ups and downs.But only he saw her existence, but he would not really force her to stay.

-

In fact, is there any other street you want to see?The deposit has been paid here, with her frugality, how can she go back on her word?
It was a cool afternoon with constant drizzle.Luo Xiao stood alone on the embankment, dazed.

Below the embankment is a reservoir, and the river is calm, as if it is about to sink into the dark sky.There are clumps of grass and trees beside the water, and people walking among them seem to be walking in a wilderness.Luo Xiao walked aimlessly like this, thinking aimlessly.Thinking of the blood that was once on my hands, thinking of my own life.Think of the erratic future like duckweed.

I miss Han Tuo.

How did you meet Han Tuo who is so passionate about business?
She covered her face with her hands, but between her fingers, it seemed like running water passed by silently.Russling, lingering, knocking on tendons and bones.

The same afternoon was much easier for Han Tuo.

Almost as soon as he got back to the door of the inn, he was not bothered by the matter.His feelings are actually quite complicated, a little cool, a little impulsive, a little happy.But what's more, there is a gentle and inexplicable entanglement in the heart that was once empty like a mountain.

Therefore, he seemed particularly silent.Even Xiaomei talked to him several times, asking the inn whether to buy meat or chicken tomorrow, but he didn't answer.It made Xiaomei roll her eyes at the side: "Boss, you were kicked in the head by a donkey, right? Why are you pretending to be autistic!"

Han Tuo didn't bother to talk to her at all.Thinking she was too noisy, he simply walked into the room and closed the door.

Then he was leaning on a recliner by the window, with a pot of tea and a pack of cigarettes in hand.The tea is locally produced and tastes slightly bitter but mellow.Not to mention cigarettes, three days ago, I taught Luo Xiao to roll them together.Then he comes to draw.Thinking of this, Han Tuo laughed.

He raised his head and looked at the gray and white sky outside the window.As if the ambiguous color between them.But without losing purity, without losing mystery.Han Tuo felt as if there was a naughty hand gently tugging at his heart.He himself didn't know when he was attracted to her.Perhaps it was the first day, she came from the rain, her voice was low, with the vapor that only a Jiangnan water town could have, bringing a man's curiosity and pity for a strange woman.

Han Tuo leaned his head on the chair and closed his eyes at some point.

He had a dream.

In the dream, there are distant years and those who are drifting away.There was also my once young and energetic self, standing in a pool of blood with a gun, crying bitterly.

That was Interpol Han Tuo.He dedicated his entire youth to the edge of darkness.Later, he wanted to go home.But no home.

So he gradually forgot.

What was it about that woman that attracted him?In fact, Han Tuo couldn't tell.It's an aura.

It made him, who was alone in the world, feel irresistible.

Han Tuo was woken up by Xiaomei when it was getting dark.She slammed on the window outside: "Brother, brother! Boss! Wake up! Wake up!" Her voice was urgent, even crying.

Han Tuo opened his eyes and stood up from the reclining chair.

-

By the time Luo Xiao returned to the inn, it was already dark.What a strange weather, the weather in the Highlands.It was still pouring rain at noon, but there were stars in the sky at night.

Luo Xiao looked at the star, and his heart seemed to become quiet.

I don't want to resist, but I have to resist.Thinking of this, Luo Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that he had lived like a **** for half his life.

Because she was too preoccupied and entangled, when she opened the door and entered, she didn't notice that there was no smell of cooking and Xiaomei's squawking voice in the courtyard.She raised her head, but only saw darkness in the courtyard.The man who usually stood under the porch light and looked up at her was not where he was.

Luo Xiao froze for a moment.

Then I searched the whole inn.Except for the two guests on the second floor, no one else was there.

Where did he go?
Luo Xiao suddenly remembered what he said at noon: I will make fried noodles for you in the evening.He is no one else, he will do what he says.Even if he kissed her forcefully at noon, he would make fried noodles for her even more in the evening - she was so sure.

problem occurs.

Luo Xiao called his cell phone, only to find that it was ringing in his room.What happened so that he didn't even have time to bring his mobile phone?Called Xiaomei's cell phone, got through, but no one answered.

Luo Xiao ran out of the inn.

The door is still the same street.Narrow and simple, but it is already the main street of the town.At this time, every house and every household is lit up.However, Luo Xiao keenly felt that the atmosphere of the pedestrians on the street was a little different.She looked in the direction of the flow of people, and sure enough, she saw a lot of people at the end of the long street, at the gate of a house.

Intuition told Luo Xiao that Han Tuo should be there.But subconsciously, she didn't want to go to a crowded place, so she walked a little further, observed the terrain, and walked into another alley.

There are far fewer people here, the path is dark and there are no lights.Her sense of direction has always been good, and she can easily identify the back door of that family.She pretended to squat down to tie her shoelaces, but she heard no sound from inside the door.That is to say, those people around the front door did not come in, or they were far away from the back door.

She stood up and looked around, but there was no one.She stepped back tens of meters, ran a very vigorous and fast approach, stepped on the wall with her feet, and easily rolled into the yard.

When it landed, there was only a very slight sound.She raised her head, this family should be considered to be in good condition in the local area.There is a yard, renovated.The entire yard was dark, only a light was on in the main house directly opposite her.No one was there.

Across a hallway, the door was visibly closed.Those onlookers were kept out of the door.

In Luo Xiao's eyes, there seemed to be a very thin line, which jumped slightly.

Because she saw that there was a cordon around the door.This is probably why those people are not allowed to enter.

There is a cordon, which means there are police here.Or at least the police had been there.

Luo Xiao subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.But everyone has already arrived here, and they don't know what happened in the main house.She was a little reconciled.

Knowing that there was indeed no movement in the room, Luo Xiao told himself that after taking a look at it, he would leave immediately and go back to the inn to wait for Han Tuo.She walked to the door of the house in two or three steps.The door was actually wide open.Under the flickering lights, a man threw himself on the ground.

The man was naked and there was blood all over the floor.It was a fat man in his forties.A cut was made in the neck, exposing hideous flesh and blood.The lower body was chopped to pieces.Luo Xiao recognized him. She had met him on the street before. He was the head of the household. He seemed to be a transportation boss with a wealthy family.Divorced a few years ago.

Luo Xiao has read a lot of materials on criminal investigation and solving cases, and knows that a person will bleed so much only if his artery is cut.

She stood blankly at the door for more than ten seconds before taking a step back and then another step.Her face was pale, and the surroundings were deathly silent, and she only felt nauseated.She was like a cat with its tail on fire, all four paws were tense, and she just wanted to get out of here quickly.

Then someone tapped her on the shoulder.

Luo Xiao was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he subconsciously grabbed the man's hand, intending to perform a standard over-the-shoulder throw.However, it didn't even fall.Instead, the man restrained her arm and pushed her against the wall.

"Luo Xiao!" He whispered her name.

Luo Xiao was still in shock, only then did he realize that the person in front of him was actually him.She was pressed against his chest, and he held her hands tightly, looking down at her.

"How will you be here?"

"How will you be here?"

The two blurted out at the same time.

However, Han Tuo let go of her, but still held one of her hands.The mental shock Luo Xiao suffered was so great that he didn't notice it for a while.

"I... saw that you were not at the inn, so I came here." She replied.

"Why don't you go through the main entrance?" He frowned slightly. "A murder has happened, and the police haven't arrived yet. I'll come to help and guard the scene."

"Oh..." Luo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.He is popular and prestigious.A major event happened in the neighborhood, and it was only natural to ask him to come over to preside over the overall situation.

Under the dim light on the porch exuding the fragrance of wood, Han Tuo turned pale with fright when he saw her, but subconsciously held his hand instead.Although he was cold-hearted because of the murder, he couldn't help but smiled slightly and asked, "You came here alone, are you worried about me?"

Luo Xiao couldn't answer.

All dangers have signs.All abnormalities, she is afraid and escapes.Seeing that he suddenly disappeared, she subconsciously wanted to find him.How to separate the relationship now.

So she bowed her head and said nothing.

Han Tuo also lowered his head, very lightly, his face brushed against hers, and his lips kissed her hair tip lightly.

So Luo Xiao's heart twitched silently and quickly.

This turned out to be the second time he kissed her today.

Noticing that her hands were still cold, he said softly, "Don't be afraid. The police will be here soon."

"Ah."

Both of them were silent for a while, then she raised her head again, subconsciously glanced at the corpse in the room, and then quickly looked away.Han Tuo noticed her small movements, took a step forward, and closed the door completely so that she couldn't see it.

"By the way, I just saw that you are good at jumping over walls, have you practiced it before?" He asked.

Luo Xiao's heart trembled slightly.

His tone was so nonchalant, as if he was just asking casually.

"Yes." Luo Xiao replied.

He smiled, took her hand, walked to the courtyard, sat down on a stone chair, and said, "Okay, we two... also practice when we have time."

Luo Xiao was a little lost in thought.

He guarded the murder scene at night, but he was so calm and composed.

Is it because... His character has always been open-minded and firm?It's because he's such a man by nature.

Must be.

"Are you... not scared at all?" Luo Xiao asked softly after all.

He looked down at her under the starlight, but his eyes were deeper and brighter than the starlight.Luo Xiao suddenly noticed that even when he was sitting, his back was tall and straight, as strong as a pine tree.

Seemingly finding her question very interesting, he stared at her, smiled, and said, "I've never been afraid of these things. Only they are afraid of me."

It was as if something burst in Luo Xiao's ear with a "bang".

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that the man in front of her clearly had some sort of faint aura.

That is clearly what she is familiar with, what she likes, but also what she is afraid of, that kind of human temperament.
