Only you are so different

Chapter 18 All Observations Lose Subjectivity

Following Su Xiuran out of the restaurant, he walked slowly in front, passing through the corridor without any intention of stopping.

Lin Mei took his hand to keep up with his pace, he turned his head and smiled at her: "Little Mei, should we go to your house to have a look?"

Lin Mei was taken aback, the idea of ​​bringing Su Xiuran back to her home, she just thought about it in her heart, she didn't say it out, and she didn't think it could be realized.

Seeing her in a daze, Su Xiuran smiled again: "Don't you want to? I just thought...you might miss your parents."

It has to be said that his intuition is really scary sometimes, and with a little touch, Lin Mei shook his hand back forcefully: "How do you explain to your mother?"

Su Xiuran curled his lips and smiled: "It's okay, let Xiuyan handle it."

As he said, he had already taken out his mobile phone, sent a text message to Su Xiuyan, then looked up at her and smiled: "Okay, we just need to come back before going to bed."

Seeing his determined smile and eyes, Lin Mei was suddenly filled with a sense of arrogance from who knows where it came from, and she was also touched. She hasn't been home for several months. Although she usually communicates with her parents on the phone, she is still excited after all. , the tone was a little excited: "I'll call my mother!"

As Lin Mei was talking, she suddenly realized a serious problem... She hadn't told her parents about her relationship with Su Xiuran.

That is to say, in the consciousness of her parents, she is still single at present, and now she suddenly wants to bring a man home and tell her parents that she has agreed to his marriage proposal.Lin Mei thought for a while, and felt that her parents were quite elegant, and they shouldn't break their legs because they couldn't bear the stimulation, so she raised her head and looked at Su Xiuran with a little trouble: "By the way, don't you want to go this time?" Can you stop mentioning that I agreed to your marriage proposal? I'm afraid my parents won't be able to accept it once, so we can...inform each other?"

She kept her relationship with her parents a secret, how could Su Xiuran not notice this, he still smiled: "Okay, I will forgive you this time."

Lin Mei didn't have time to find out why she "forgive" her. She nervously called her mother and told her that she was passing through S City on a business trip and was going home to visit them because she had a little more free time.

Hearing that her daughter was going home, Lin Mei's mother was of course happy, and immediately said that she was going to tell her father. Lin Mei looked at her when she was in a good mood, swallowed again, and said, "And mother, I'm going to tell you today." I'll bring back my new boyfriend to show you guys... Well, it's not an ordinary male friend, it's a boyfriend in that sense."

After finishing speaking, she didn't dare to wait for her mother to respond, so she quickly hung up the phone, and then forcefully and calmly gave Su Xiuran a thumbs up gesture, indicating that she could still control the situation.

Su Xiuran had no sympathy for her gaffe, took her hand and walked towards the front door of the house.There was already a car waiting there arranged by the housekeeper and Su Xiuyan.

Lin Mei's house is not far from the Su family's old house, and it took less than 10 minutes to get there on the expressway.

Su's car was too ostentatious, Su Xiuran asked the driver to park the car outside the community, and walked inside with Lin Mei.

This community is where Lin Mei has lived since she was a child. It is neat and clean, surrounded by flowers and trees. Most of the residents are employees of her parents' work unit, and they are very familiar with each other.

Even when they were walking in the neighborhood at night, they met some old neighbors who came out for a walk or a walk, and they all greeted her kindly, and then looked at the tall and tall Su Xiuran with kind eyes. Of course, Xiu Ran also smiled back.

Lin Mei took him all the way downstairs to her house, and before going upstairs, she turned around and took a look at Su Xiuran by the light downstairs, and straightened his already stiff collar.

Ordinarily, Su Xiuran should be more nervous, but she suddenly became unconfident. Looking at Su Xiuran, she wondered if he was too handsome, and my mother thought he was an emotional liar?Sure enough, he was still a little thinner. Did Dad think that he was not strong enough and reliable?
She muttered in her heart, the expression was written on her face, Su Xiuran couldn't help shaking her head secretly, and said softly: "Little sister, an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws."

Lin Mei nodded again and again, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this description: "Yes, I'm so nervous!"

Su Xiuran laughed, and raised his arms to hug her: "Okay, no matter whether you are satisfied or not, this is the only one. Take me to pass the test."

Lin Mei couldn't help but turned around and hugged him, and kissed his cheek lightly: "It's okay, if my parents despise you, I'll be anxious to them!"

After speaking, she took advantage of her newly summoned courage and dragged Su Xiuran all the way upstairs. There was no elevator in the old community, and the floors were not high anyway. They lived on the third floor, so they were within walking distance.

When the door opened, Lin Mei's parents gathered at the door. In just half an hour, they all changed into formal clothes, especially Lin Mei's father, Lin Haiping, who had a serious face with his hands behind his back, and his eyes behind the frame were like searchlights. Similarly, he looked Su Xiuran up and down bluntly with scrutiny.

Lin Mei thought of the male classmate who was frightened away by her father's torture of advanced mathematics knowledge in middle school, and quickly turned sideways to hide Su Xiuran behind her: "Dad, you didn't go to play chess with Uncle Zhao today!"

Lin Mei's mother, Wen Miao, looked more kindly, and greeted Su Xiuran with a smile: "Xiaomei is not sensible, so I won't tell you in advance when I come back, so I can cook something delicious for you."

Seeing Su Xiuran smiling all the time, Lin Haiping felt that this young man had a gentle and modest temperament, which was very similar to the young man in his own research institute, which was pleasing to the eye. His eyes were a little calmer, and he said with a "hum": "It's not like you don't know that she's been in such a hurry all day long."

Of course Wen Miao knew her husband's personality. Seeing that he was like an eagle who had given up his hair to protect his cubs, he almost flashed a wing as a warning, so he couldn't help but want to laugh, so he hurriedly asked the two of them to change their shoes and come in and sit down: "Not yet. Come in quickly and introduce to your parents!"

Lin Mei sticks out her tongue, brings Su Xiuran in, and tugs on his sleeves unconvincingly. Seeing that her daughter has turned her elbow so obviously, Lin Haiping is so angry that her glasses are about to fall off.

After entering the door, Lin Mei briefly introduced Su Xiuran's name, occupation, etc. to her parents, saying that he is the writer she is currently in charge of, but she subconsciously concealed the background of Su's family, only saying that his family is also in S City , his father died of illness, his mother is still alive, and he has a younger brother.

While listening to her, Lin Haiping kept looking up and down at Su Xiuran, as if he had X-rays in his eyes, intending to magnify all the shortcomings of this kid.

Even under Lin Haiping's scrutiny, Su Xiuran still smiled very peacefully, leaned slightly and said, "Uncle and Aunt laughed, I insisted on visiting you two, please forgive me for the haste."

Wen Miao had been looking at him with a smile for a long time. Seeing that he was so polite, Lin Haiping didn't get angry again, but nodded seriously: "It's right to come to see your parents as soon as possible, although young people fall in love and elders don't care too much. , but you can’t hide it.”

Lin Mei's face control is actually inherited from his mother. Lin Haiping was also a grass in the research institute back then.

He didn't feel much about Su Xiuran's appearance, but he felt that his daughter's boyfriend was much taller than him, and he was a little bit unhappy in his heart.

The more Wen Miao watched, the happier she was. It was no different from what Lin Mei imagined. Su Xiuran quickly won the favor of his future mother-in-law just by his appearance. Wen Miao didn't even avoid them, and said in front of Su Xiuran: "Xiaomei's vision really follows me. She has a good appearance and a good temperament. She can score 98 points."

Before Lin Haiping had a fit, Wen Miao added with a smile: "Of course the eternal 100 points must be reserved for our family, Haiping."

So Lin Mei and Su Xiuran saw that Lin Haiping, who had slapped his hair, was appeased for a second, and the whole person calmed down instantly, and even his eyes were not so severe.

Although Lin Mei made a sudden attack, Lin Haiping and Wen Miao were a little caught off guard, but also because of the suddenness, everyone lost a layer of politeness, and they showed their truest side when they came up, which can be regarded as gains and losses.

Su Xiuran said with a smile, "Auntie's praise", and complimented Lin Haiping without any trace, and the atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

Over there, Wen Miao looked at Lin Mei, and her daughter still felt distressed at the sight, and couldn't help but said: "Xiaomei must be thinner, her skin seems to be a little darker."

Lin Mei hurriedly explained: "It's either that I've lost weight, or I've been running outside with Xiu Ran recently, it looks like I've grown stronger!"

Wen Miao took a closer look at her daughter, and felt that she was in good spirits, and like all girls who were in love, there was a strangely charming radiance in her eyes, and she seemed to be in good condition.

She was relieved, and went to see Su Xiuran again: "Xiao Su too, his complexion is a little bad." She remembered something, and hurriedly got up from the sofa, "By the way, where did you have dinner? You came back too hastily Fortunately, I have a lot of tremella stew today, let me serve you two bowls." She said, and looked at Su Xiuran with some embarrassment, "Although it is leftover, it has never been dirty in the pot. Xiao Su doesn't mind."

Su Xiuran stood up quickly, and said with a smile, "Auntie doesn't need to be so polite, just treat me just like Xiaomei."

Lin Mei suddenly thought of the greasy dinner at Su's house, Su Xiuran didn't move her chopsticks, she jumped up and ran to the kitchen: "Mom, sit down, I'll serve it!"

White fungus soup is a perennial dessert of the Lin family. Wen Miao often cooks it in a rice cooker before going to work during the day.

Lin Mei herself has stewed a few times, but she always feels that it is not as fragrant as her mother's stew. Now that she has the opportunity, she offers Su Xiuran a bowl like a treasure, puts the spoon into his hand and says, "Taste it quickly, I'll give it a try." Mom's cooking skills are much better than mine!"

Su Xiuran took the spoon with a smile. He really didn't eat well that night. Maybe it was because the schedule was too fast. After returning home, he saw Qu Yan again. Since the afternoon, his stomach has been aching.

He barely ate a few mouthfuls of the bowl of noodles that Su Xiuyan specially ordered.He knew that Lin Mei, who had been paying attention to him, must have seen it, so now she looked at him with concern and expectation.

Under the watchful eyes of the three members of the Lin family, he took a spoonful of white fungus soup and swallowed it. The slightly sweet juice, which was carefully kept warm in the rice cooker, was at just the right temperature and slid down the esophagus.

He raised his head and smiled slightly: "It's really fragrant, I like it very much."

After eating the tremella soup, Wen Miao happily took Su Xiuran to look through the family photo album, and showed him all the photos of Lin Mei from childhood to adulthood.

Like all families that live in peace and happiness, they have a lot of photo albums, three or four of them. Seeing that Wen Miao suddenly took out a smaller photo album from the drawer, Lin Mei rushed to snatch it. She came over and hugged her in her arms, and said nervously, "Mom, we agreed not to show this book to others!"

Wen Miao laughed "haha": "Xiao Su is not someone else, really."

Lin Mei said seriously: "Especially Xiu Ran, you can't watch it!"

Wen Miao let her go with a smile, and then let Su Xiuran look at the group photo of Lin Mei Middle School with her classmates in her hand. Su Xiuran looked at the teenagers in the photo, pointed to one of the photos of the three of them and said: "This Do boys have a crush on Xiaomei?"

It was a group photo in the scenic area. There were two women and one man in the picture. The handsome boy stretched out his hand and bent to Lin Mei's shoulder, making a scissors-hand appearance in an attempt to cover up.It's just that the curvature of his arm betrayed his thoughts. From the screen, the bent arm seemed to be hugging Lin Mei's shoulder.

Wen Miao secretly smiled: "This is the son of the old Wang's family next door. We always said that he was interested in Xiaomei, but he didn't confess his love to Xiaomei until he went abroad."

Lin Mei thought of Fa Xiao, whom she had always regarded as a good buddy, and quickly turned her head to explain to Su Xiuran: "I have no interest in him! Really!"

Su Xiuran smiled generously, his eyes softened: "It's okay, I believe in you."

Wen Miao looked at her incompetent daughter beside her, thinking that the daughter I gave birth to would really follow me, and she was quite the demeanor that I was in the past.

Su Xiuran asked Wen Miao again gently: "Auntie, Xiaomei must have been very popular when she was a student, right?"

Talking about this, Wen Miao began to laugh again: "No, Xiaomei has good grades and looks like her father. Since middle school, many classmates have chased after her, and some of them have followed her home in the name of studying together. It's a pity Xiaomei just doesn't understand, and her father is too fierce..."

Lin Mei, who has completely turned into a dog's leg and has seen Su Xiuran's arrogant skills, looked at her mother with a complicated expression, and said to her mother, you are the legendary pig teammate, right? An ambiguous childhood sweetheart is not enough. To add a bunch of completely inexplicable male classmates, Mom, do you know how scary my master's jealous posture is?

Su Xiuran, who has first-class tsundere skills, has already put his eyes on her with a smile, his eyes are deep, and the smile on his lips is also meaningful: "I understand this. When I was pursuing Xiaomei, I also It took a lot of work.”

Wen Miao continued to break the news about her future son-in-law, who she was quite satisfied with, shaking off Lin Mei's old background: "It's okay, Xiaomeiyan control is with me, and I don't like life and death. Before you chased her, she must have seen it." It's up to you, or I won't agree."

Lin Mei deeply felt that this family really couldn't stay any longer. In less than two hours, the entire position of the mother's master had already fallen, and she would not do less to sell her daughter in the future!
Fortunately, Lin Haiping still firmly stood by his daughter's side. After they read the photo album, they stared at Su Xiuran very seriously and said, "I'm a writer by profession, and I majored in liberal arts. A man majoring in liberal arts must be bad at mathematics." All right?"

Lin Mei looked at her father who was trying to support her, and wanted to praise her, but she still felt very honestly: Dad, what you said is sexist, change it quickly!
Su Xiuran smiled slightly: "Uncle, you have misunderstood, my major in university is finance, and being able to engage in creation is only a matter of interest."

Finance is a major that requires a lot of mathematics. Lin Haiping is a researcher at the Institute of Finance. When Su Xiuran mentioned finance, he immediately became interested and asked a few professional questions.

Before Su Xiuran "died from illness", he was immersed in it almost every day, even in recent years, he did not let go of it, and of course the answers to the discussion with Lin Haiping were fluent.

Lin Mei watched her father's eyes turn from serious to full of interest. Although it was far from being appreciative, the deliberately difficult words in his words had disappeared.

They chatted for a while, Lin Haiping suddenly said "wait a moment", got up and walked into the study, when he came out, he held a few books in his hands.

The one on the top is "Twilight" recently edited and run by Lin Mei. Of course, there are other books by Su Xiu. There are many books, even the earliest version of "A Woman Worthy of Me" is listed. .

Lin Haiping cleared his throat, and said to cover up: "I originally bought these books because I was concerned about Xiaomei's work. I read them in my spare time and found that your mathematics is relatively good, and your logic is more rigorous."

Lin Mei looked at the few books that were obviously bought a few years ago and looked a little old, and she suddenly felt a little... Dad, you are also a cold and arrogant person. Where are you going?I still count on you to live up to me!
Su Xiuran was very knowledgeable, and before Lin Haiping could open his mouth, he immediately found a signing pen, and respectfully wrote "Mr. Lin Haiping respectfully" on each book, and then signed "Su Xiu" He pushed the name back with both hands, smiled very modestly, and brought a little bit of shyness: "The writing is still not mature enough, I hope uncle can correct me."

Lin Mei swears, this is definitely the first time in his life that the Great God Su Xiu has said such an open-minded word, even the judges of the major literary awards have never had the opportunity to see him like this.

And he is obviously pretending well?The Su Xiuran she knew never felt that his writing was not good enough. Although he never showed complacency, his usual understatement attitude showed that he thought his writing could not be better!
Seeing that her father was obviously in a good mood, and still put on airs with a sullen face, Lin Mei suddenly felt... Su Xiuran's willingness to lower his status to flatter him seemed to be worth it?

The time at Lin Mei's house passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was almost 11 o'clock at night.

Lin Mei called before, saying that she was going home to take a look when she was free from work, and she didn't say to stay overnight, but it was late, and there was a little hope in Wen Miao's eyes, and she said, "Xiaomei, your room is open to me. It's already tidied up, if Xiao Su doesn't dislike it, I tidied up the small bed in the study room, and it can barely accommodate people..."

These are parents who really care about their children. Even if you just pass by on a sudden business trip and don’t know how long you will stay, they will still prepare everything and expect you to stay at home for even a moment longer.

Although Lin Mei always had to go home every three or four months, she lived out of town for a long time. After being told by her mother, she immediately fell in love with her family and went to see Su Xiuran tentatively.

Su Xiuran shook her hand reassuringly, and said to Wen Miao, "Auntie, I'm sorry...we have to go back to take care of something tonight."

Wen Miao looked a little disappointed, but she didn't expect much at first, she just said: "Next time I have time, come back with Xiaomei and stay for a few more days. Although the house is not big, it has everything, which is very convenient."

Su Xiuran smiled and nodded: "Definitely." He said and stood up, "Please wait for me, uncle and aunt, I'll go downstairs."

He signaled Lin Mei to wait at home, and then went downstairs alone. When he came up a few minutes later, he had a few more gift boxes in his hand.

Handing the gift to Lin Haiping and Wen Miao with both hands, he smiled apologetically: "I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't prepare any presents. I asked my younger brother to prepare these temporarily. If there is anything not thoughtful, please forgive me."

Lin Mei recalled that during the interval between their conversations, Su Xiuran used her mobile phone to type and send text messages two or three times. She thought it was Zhang Yan or someone else contacting him, but she did not expect that he was instructing Su Xiuyan to prepare a gift for her parents .

What was given to Lin Haiping was a mechanical watch.For Wen Miao, it was a set of bone china tableware and a silk scarf.The rest have some supplements and such.

Su Xiuran himself has a lot of income, and Lin Haiping and Wen Miao are not petty citizens who have never seen the world, and there is no need to hide wealth, so they choose the best gifts, showing sincerity.

Lin Haiping and Wen Miao knew that there was no need to refuse this kind of meeting ceremony, and after accepting it, Wen Miao looked at them with emotion: "I really didn't expect Xiaomei to be in love, time flies so fast."

Lin Haiping nodded in agreement beside him, his expression seemed to say that his daughter was still the same as when she was in her teens, there was no need to have too much contact with those brats, just be his daughter obediently.

Su Xiuran smiled and said softly: "Xiaomei is very good, it is the most precious thing I can get in this life."

When he said this, his attitude and tone were natural, without the slightest intention to express or please.

Both Lin Haiping and Wen Miao were smart people, so why couldn't they tell, they both looked relieved.

After saying goodbye to the Lin family's parents, Su Xiuran still held Lin Mei's hand.

Because it is a city near the sea, the nights in City S are always a bit damp and cool. Lin Mei held Su Xiuran, and felt that his hand was much warmer than when he just came out of Su's old house.

However, when they got into the car outside the community, he was still slightly stiff when he leaned over.

Lin Mei kept paying attention to him. After getting in the car, she quickly put her hand on his stomach and asked worriedly, "Do you have a stomachache all the time?"

Although his complexion had improved a little when he was at her house, he was still a little pale, and his movements would be a little unnatural from time to time, but Lin Haiping and Wen Miao didn't notice that.

Su Xiuran held her hand, smiled comfortingly at her, shook his head and said, "It started in the afternoon, and it's much better now."

It was indeed on his whim that he would come to Lin Mei's house. The dull dinner and insincere words made him a little unbearable under the discomfort of his body.

So he thought, maybe he should find a warm place to dissipate the darkness of this too long night. He was glad that he made this decision based on his mood, and also thanked Lin Mei and Lin's parents for their accommodating, which made this time slightly hasty. Unexpected meeting.

In the dim light inside the car, he smiled silently at Lin Mei: "Thank you, little eyebrow, happiness is a good medicine to cure diseases."

When they went back to Su's old house together, Su Daoxian's family and Qu Yan had already rested.

Su Xiuyan was waiting for them in the living room. He was sitting alone on the sofa, smoking an alternative cigarette, which was a little more lonely than Lin Mei's impression.

Hearing their footsteps approaching, he put the cigarette in the ashtray and put it out, then raised his head slightly: "How is the meeting going well?"

Lin Mei thought that he had prepared a gift for his parents, so he thanked him: "Thank you for today's gift."

Su Xiuyan let out a soft "huh", but couldn't hear the tone: "It's nothing, anyway, it's my brother's confession, just send an assistant to do it." After speaking, he turned his head slightly to ask Su Xiuran , "Can you still hold it?"

Su Xiuran didn't show physical discomfort, but he could still see it, and even asked him a word of concern that wasn't considered concern.

Smiling slightly, Su Xiuran nodded and said, "It's okay."

Su Xiuyan stood up, took a deep look at him, and said, "Anyway, for you, as long as you are not directly sent to the hospital, you are fine." After he finished speaking, he did not stop, raised his hand and waved Waving, counted as farewell, turned and left.

Lin Mei looked at the back of him leaving, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Your younger brother is considered concerned about you, why did you stab him once we met after eight years of absence?"

Su Xiuran raised his hand and touched the top of her head, and said softly: "Maybe it's out of compensatory psychology... Xiuyan is kind by nature, and I am also responsible for pushing him to this point."

Lin Mei put her arms around his waist, leaned lightly on his shoulder, and did not speak any more.

Human psychology is so delicate, although Su Xiuyan still keeps saying that he hates him, but in actual actions, he has silently started to care about him.

Even though his words were not so pleasant and his posture was extremely arrogant, Lin Mei could feel from his awkward words that he had a lot of regrets about the past, and he didn't just resent Su Xiuran.

Lin Mei believes that Su Xiuyan still has a lot of brotherly affection for Su Xiuran. She recalled Su Xiuyan's performance after stabbing Su Xiuran that night, and felt that he didn't really want his brother to die, or hated him so much. If he wanted to kill him personally, most of it was the result of the dual effects of impulse and alcohol.

And after that intense venting, his guilt towards Su Xiuran replaced his long-standing hatred and gradually gained the upper hand.

Just thinking that it was so difficult for Su Xiuran to get this belated concern and brotherhood, she still couldn't help but want to blame Su Xiuyan.In any case, it is wrong to hurt your brother with your own hands.

Su Xiuran hugged her shoulder and patted her lightly, then said softly: "Maybe I have been avoiding him for many years, which is also the reason why he has nowhere to vent his hatred."

When he reached this point, he was still looking for his own reasons. Back then, he was forced to hide his name and leave. It was already a last resort. For him at that time, it was a kind of tolerance and sacrifice.

Lin Mei raised her head, kissed his pale cheek lightly, and said with a sigh: "People with too good a personality will be bullied...how did I not realize that you are so easily bullied?"

Su Xiuran held her in his arms, and smiled: "Maybe you are bullying without realizing it?"

Lin Mei smiled and hugged him: "Why do I feel that you are bullying me?"

The Su family's old house has quite a bit of history, even the room for the underage children at that time was terrifyingly large, and the bed was big enough to sleep two people.

Lin Mei and Su Xiuran embraced each other and fell asleep. What woke her up the next morning was not the alarm that was set, but the vibrating sound of the phone.

She heard Su Xiuran answer the phone in a daze, then got up softly and went to the bathroom and closed the door.

He talked inside for a few minutes, and when he came back, his steps were much more hurried. He leaned over and kissed her forehead lightly, and said softly, "Xiaomei, wake up, we need to go back immediately."

They had originally booked a flight for this afternoon, and they planned to wait until after lunch before embarking on their return journey. Now that he said that suddenly, Lin Mei realized that there was something new, so she quickly opened her eyes and asked, "Is there a new case in the case?" Condition?"

Su Xiuran nodded, wondering if the morning sun was too weak, she felt that his complexion was much worse than last night, even the color of his lips turned pale.

He pursed his lips and nodded, and said, "There is a new victim."

He spoke briefly, but Lin Mei felt that there were other meanings in his words. Sure enough, unconcealable sadness and faint anger appeared in his black pupils, and he continued: "The victim is an operator of the branch office, female, We've all seen it."

Now Lin Mei was completely awake. Before they came, they expected that the murderer would continue to make victims, but they didn't expect him to be so bold. Not only did he commit another crime at a critical moment when the police deployed a large number of police forces to investigate, he even extended his demonic palm to personnel inside the police station.

She knew that Su Xiuran liked to take the responsibility on herself, now that something new happened, even if he stayed in City B, it wouldn't help, but he would still blame himself.

She propped herself up, held his cheek and kissed him lightly: "We'll go back right away, Xiu Ran, don't think too much about it."

Su Xiuran kissed back lightly, and said, "You wash and tidy up first, I'll go to Xiuyan and ask him to change our tickets."

Lin Mei nodded, got up and rushed to the bathroom to clean up. She was very fast. When Su Xiuran came back after going out for a while, she not only packed herself, but also packed their luggage.

Seeing her help her pack her clothes and supplies, Su Xiuran smiled at her: "Thank you for your hard work."

It's not yet seven o'clock in the morning, they left in a hurry, breakfast must be too late, they can only solve it on the road, there is no time to wait for Qu Yan and Su Daoxian's family to wake up and say goodbye.

He came down from upstairs with his luggage. In the living room, there was only Su Xiuyan, who had just woken up and was dressed casually. He looked up at them and said, "I told you, you are going to the airport right away. We will try our best to arrange the flight if you can." The earliest one you can catch."

Su Xiuran nodded his thanks, and the two walked through the living room to leave.

As soon as he walked to the entrance, Qu Yan's voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the living room: "Why did you leave so early?" She said as she walked over.Qu Yan was wearing loose home clothes and a shawl casually over it. She looked like she got up in a hurry, her hair was a little messy, and there was no makeup on her face.

Lin Mei didn't expect that someone who cared so much about her appearance would appear in front of outsiders in this state, so she was a little surprised.

Before Su Xiuran could answer for a moment, Qu Yan saw the car parked outside the door again, for some reason she suddenly got a little more angry, and said, "Am I going to annoy you like this? Not only did I sneak out last night, but today Leaving secretly like fleeing for your life?"

Su Xiuran pursed his lower lip before saying, "No, Mom, I need to deal with some emergencies."

Su Xiuyan knew about the fact that he was helping the police station in City B to handle the case, but in order to prevent Qu Yan from overthinking, they kept it from her. What's more, the case being investigated needs to be kept secret, so he didn't explain it in detail.

Qu Yan heard this sentence, but it was obviously perfunctory. She walked up to Su Xiuran in a few steps, and shouted angrily: "Your idle work of writing novels, what is the emergency! You can't even deal with it!" Am I too lazy to make up a reason?"

When Su Xiuran came home yesterday, she didn't show any special expectations, and her conversation and attitude with him afterwards were so unfamiliar and indifferent that she didn't even maintain the kindness on the scene.

No one expected that she would suddenly rush out to say these words at such a time. Su Xiuran really didn't have the mood and time to entangle her any more, so he looked at Su Xiuyan, motioned for him to come over to comfort his mother, and then slightly Take a step back.

Su Xiuyan stepped in knowingly to stand in front of Qu Yan, trying to divert her attention: "Mom, my brother really has something urgent to do, if you don't want him to leave, I'll pick him up when the matter is over. "

Qu Yan was furious at the moment, completely lost her usual restraint and elegance, and even raised her hand to push Su Xiuyan: "What are you doing to bring him back! Anyway, he doesn't care about our mother and son!"

Lin Mei was listening, and felt that her logic was simply confused. Since she didn't want Su Xiuran to come back, why was she so angry when he was about to leave, and even came here to scold him at all costs.

If she had time, she would definitely stay to appease Qu Yan, but now it is obviously urgent, and she is full of thoughts about the case in City B, Lin Mei can only hold Su Xiuran's hand, taking advantage of Qu Yan being blocked by Su Xiuyan When he was free, he walked quickly to the door.

I thought that according to Qu Yan's personality, even if she lost her temper in anger, she would never rush out of the house, so when they left and she calmed down, Su Xiuyan would naturally clean up the mess.

Unexpectedly, Qu Yan pushed Su Xiuyan away and rushed out of the house. When Su Xiuran leaned over to get on the car, she raised her hand and grabbed his arm, saying sharply: "You have to give me a hand today." I understand! Why are you avoiding me!"

Su Xiuran was overwhelmed by Qu Yan for a moment, she said it was to persuade her to stay, but there was no tenderness in her eyes; she said it was a question, why did she have to stop this son whom she did not welcome.

He didn't know how to answer her, and he couldn't shake his mother's arm away, so he could only smile at her as gently as possible: "Mom, I really have something urgent...I'll be right back after I deal with it..."

Qu Yan sneered and interrupted him: "You don't have to come back! I don't want to see you again!"

The smile on Su Xiuran's lips added helplessness, and he still said softly to her: "Mom, can you let me go first?"

Qu Yan stared at Su Xiuran, let go of the hand holding his arm, but suddenly slapped him forcefully, and said bitterly: "You are really like your father, even if you leave, you can't make me clean!"

Lin Mei was stunned, a surge of anger surged from the bottom of her heart, she dropped the bag in her hand, and was about to rush forward to pull Su Xiuran away.

Su Xiuyan looked at his mother and brother helplessly, not knowing how to react.

At this time, Su Xiuran suddenly stepped forward to hug Qu Yan, and used his back to protect her.

Only then did the others see a phantom slipping through the air, a glass bottle smashed on his shoulder, and shattered in response, the pungent liquid splashed all over the floor.

Those liquids also splashed on Lin Mei's body, and she smelled that smell almost immediately - gasoline.

Then, a string of insults mixed with the dialect of S City came over. Lin Mei is a local, and he could hear that in addition to some insulting words, there were words such as "hard-earned money" and "capitalist".

The security guards in the house rushed over, and two or three people worked together to stop an elderly man who apparently fell off the wall and rushed into the courtyard.

He looks about five or sixty years old, and he is neatly dressed, but his hair is very gray and thin.

He cursed while waving a lighter.

It's nothing to spill gasoline on your body, it's really troublesome once it's ignited. Fortunately, the old man was stopped in time, and Su Xiuran let go of Qu Yan with a pale face, and took a few steps back.

Among the people present, he was the one who got the most gasoline, Qu Yan was protected by him and almost didn't get it, and Lin Mei and Su Xiuyan only got a little splash on their lower bodies.

When Lin Mei saw him backing away, she stood in front of him without thinking. The old man was holding an electronic lighter, which couldn't stay lit for a long time like a mechanical lighter, but she was afraid of what might happen.

Su Xiuyan hurried over and snatched the lighter from his hand. The old man was still accusing and swearing hoarsely. The target of his attack and anger, judging from the tone and wording of his words, should have been aimed at Qu Yan.

The security guards forcefully carried the old man out of the house. The Su family's old house came out of the entrance. There was a rockery and a garden in front of the door. After turning a corner and walking for a while, you could see the iron carved gate.

Because the house is big, several security guards were invited, and one of the security guards who looked like the person in charge of security looked flustered, with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, ran over with small steps, leaned over and reported a few words to Su Xiuyan.

Su Xiuyan turned around after listening, with a bad expression on his face: "There are a few reporters staying outside the door."

After he finished speaking, he explained impatiently: "This man used to be a worker in a factory in the suburbs. He was fired when the factory closed two years ago, and he has been making trouble for the past two years, saying that he has worked for the Su family all his life. The severance pay I received was too low. I also threw stones into the house a few times, and I called the police to deal with it, but I didn’t expect that this time I actually climbed over the wall and got gasoline.”

The Su family started out as a textile and small commodity manufacturing industry, but by Su Daolin's generation, the focus has shifted to more lucrative real estate, heavy industry manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, finance, hotels and other industries, not to mention these years up.

Coupled with the high labor cost near S City, the manufacturing base has long been transferred to an area with cheaper labor. Su Xiuyan closed the last Sujia factory near this city two years ago.

Those who are still dawdling there are old workers who have worked for decades. Since the factory is closed and not resold, their severance pay is naturally not much, but the Su family has strong capital after all, so it is not harsh, even Pension insurance, medical insurance, etc. are also guaranteed.

Elderly and unemployed people, apart from economic reasons, also have complex psychological problems, social status gap, etc., there are always a few who are dissatisfied with this, and that elderly man is one of the most intensely paranoid.

He is not familiar with Su Xiuyan. Qu Yan, who used to follow Su Daolin to visit and inspect the factory frequently, is the "proprietress" he is more familiar with. In addition, his consciousness has been stuck in the previous generation, so whether he threw The gasoline bottles that come out are still the target of attacks and abuse, and they are all Qu Yan.

It's just that today he suddenly took more extreme measures than before, and when he sneaked into Su's house, there happened to be a reporter stationed outside the door. The matter was obviously not that simple, and someone should have planned to instigate it.

As for who planned it, it's hard to judge right away. Maybe it's the media that really wants to make news, maybe it's the Su family's competitors who are behind the tricks, maybe there are other possibilities, and there are various reasons.

Su Xiuran has been in power for many years, so he is not familiar with these small actions, but today's time is too coincidental, so Su Xiuran frowned slightly after Su Xiuyan finished speaking.

Su Xiuyan looked at the mess on the ground, but luckily the glass shards that exploded when the bottle shattered on Su Xiuran's shoulder didn't hurt him and others.Even so, Su Xiuran's clothes still had a lot of traces soaked in gasoline, and there were reporters chasing and intercepting outside the door, it was impossible to rush to the airport now, so Su Xiuyan said: "Brother, you still Change your clothes and wash before you go."

Qu Yan has been suffering from aphasia since just now. She has been pampered all her life, and suddenly she was attacked without any defense, and she was also abused by extremely nasty swear words. She had already put her hands on her chest and trembled slightly.Hearing Su Xiuyan's words, she finally came back to her senses, raised her head and gave Su Xiuran a fierce look, her voice trembling: "If it wasn't for chasing you..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand again, as if she wanted to slap Su Xiuran again, but after seeing the obvious red fingerprints on his pale face, she finally put her hand down again, and said bitterly, "You really are It's a disaster!" After she finished speaking, she covered her face and walked quickly back into the house without looking back.

Su Xiuran waited for her figure to disappear, then turned around and smiled at Su Xiuyan: "Alright...I'll go back and change the laundry first."

Lin Mei had lingering fears and felt sorry for him, so she threw herself into his arms and hugged him, saying, "I'll be with you."

Su Xiuran put his arms that were not stained with gasoline around her shoulders, and patted her comfortingly.

Su Xiuran and Lin Mei carried the luggage back to the room. Not only was Su Xiuran's coat on the back soaked in gasoline, but the clothes inside and the bare skin on his neck and hands were also stained a lot.

Lin Mei only needed to change her skirt and scrub her shoes, but he not only had to change all of his clothes, but also had to take a shower to clean them up.

After returning to the room, he went into the bathroom.

Lin Mei took advantage of this time to call Zhang Yan and explain the situation to him. After Zhang Yan heard Qu Yan pulling Su Xiuran and slapping him, he was silent for a moment before saying: "Then let Xiuran take care of the house first. After all, you come back in a hurry, and the scene has been cleaned up. I can send the information to you online, and it won't delay too much."

Listening to his tone, Lin Mei seemed to have a different view on this matter than herself, so she said: "Xiu Ran's mother is really strange, since she doesn't like Xiu Ran coming home, why did she come out and make a fuss? It's totally unreasonable."

Zhang Yan is a little older, well-informed, and has rich social experience. He listened and sighed softly: "I think Xiuran's mother may still want to keep him, but it's just that she has been unfamiliar for many years, and her own Because of her personality, she couldn't express it reasonably and calmly."

When he said this, Lin Mei remembered that Qu Yan ran out disregarding her image, her expression was obviously eager, if she just left without saying goodbye in anger, why didn't she just deal with it coldly, or wait for Su Xiu to leave before leaving? Complain to other people?
And although the words she said while pulling Su Xiuran were confused and only focused on venting her emotions, her attitude and behavior were preventing Su Xiuran from leaving.Even when she scolded Su Xiuran and ran back to the house at the end, she only left after hearing Su Xiuran's words to tell Su Xiuran to go back to the house to clean up first, and to make sure that Su Xiuran would not leave immediately.

Thinking about it, Lin Mei couldn't help but feel a little headache. It's nothing more than a proud younger brother, but why even the elegant and reserved mother also became arrogant.

After she figured it out, she was immediately amused and annoyed: "Since I'm not willing to leave Xiuran, why can't I just talk about it, and insist on saying those hurtful things?"

Zhang Yan also laughed over there, and then said: "I will give you a piece of advice from a mature man: when a woman is emotional, it is best not to take it seriously, and don't take it to heart, it will make you mad. "

Lin Mei didn't take it seriously: "No matter how excited I am, I wouldn't be willing to say that to hurt Xiuran."

Across the airwaves, Zhang Yan was stimulated by her undisguised show of affection, and immediately changed the subject: "Stop talking so much nonsense, anyway, let Xiu Ran calm down Auntie's mood first. Xiu Ran left home eight Are you old? Parents are not parents anymore, older people tend to get into trouble, please persuade them more."

Zhang Yan's words were simple and to the point, Lin Mei hung up the phone, feeling much less depressed in her heart.

But even though she understood that Qu Yan was hiding some longing and nostalgia for her son under her awkward and cold attitude, she still felt that it was quite a headache.It is more difficult to deal with a Tsundere than a Tsundere. It must be a Tsundere family. Fortunately, her father is the only Tsundere in her family, otherwise she would have to spill blood from time to time.

After hanging up the phone for a while, Lin Mei was a little puzzled when she heard the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom. Su Xiuran just rinsed it briefly, why did it not finish after so long?
Thinking of his paler face than usual since waking up in the morning, she couldn't help feeling worried, walked over and knocked on the bathroom door, and asked, "Xiu Ran? What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

After waiting for a while, she didn't hear Su Xiuran's answer, she immediately panicked, pushed open the bathroom door and rushed in.

The situation inside was better than she had imagined, Su Xiuran didn't faint on the ground, he just stood there with his hands on the sink with a very pale face, not moving.

After coming in for so long, he couldn't even take off his dirty clothes. The sound of water that Lin Mei heard was coming from the faucet of the washbasin. She immediately knew that Su Xiuran must have vomited.

He seemed to have lost the strength to raise his voice, so he raised his pale to slightly bluish thin lips to her, and said softly, "It's okay...let me slow down..."

His extremely weak appearance caused Lin Mei to take a sharp breath, and walked over to support him who was clearly already supporting himself.

Su Xiuran didn't refuse, and leaned on her shoulder a little bit exhaustedly, trying to smile at her: "I'm sorry."

Lin Mei didn't know what to say about him, but when she touched his skin, she realized that he must have a fever, and her body temperature was much higher than usual.

In his current condition, it was obviously impossible to clean his body alone, but he had to clean up the gasoline smell all over his body, not to mention that it was not good for gasoline to stay on the skin for a long time.

Lin Mei could only help him lean against the wall first, and then take off his clothes first, then his clothes, and the two of them got into the bathtub to rinse together.

He still has some strength to cooperate with her. This process is not particularly strenuous, but the morning bath, which should have been beautiful and beautiful, has become a bit embarrassing.

When Lin Mei was scrubbing him, she gently slid her fingertips across the red and swollen finger marks on his face, sighed and said, "You really shouldn't have come back."

Su Xiuran lightly closed his eyes, and said after a while, "I know."

This family has lost his place for a long time, he didn't realize it until today, maybe eight years ago, he was out of tune with this family.

He still remembers the last moment when he collapsed before the onset of the disease, that is, on the way home from the company, he couldn't hold on and lost consciousness.

He felt tired and out of place early in the morning, and he knew he might have a fever, but he didn't go to the hospital or his family doctor after work to take care of him.

Because it was Su Xiuyan's birthday that day, and there was a hastily selected gift beside him, and he wanted to rush home to send birthday wishes to his younger brother.

As a result, he still failed to go home and was sent to the hospital, and then there was a long and dreary treatment and hospitalization time, and eight years of incognito life.

Until he left S city to escape to other places, he never returned to the old Su family's house, and the birthday present he wanted to give had long since been lost in the chaos.

The return journey that did not reach the end seemed to indicate that he had already lost contact with this place.

Lin Mei saw that his gaze was beginning to blur, and she was afraid that he would faint in the bathroom, so she quickly kissed the corner of his lips to keep him sane: "Hold on, I made an agreement with Zhang Yan, he said that you should stay in the bathroom for a while. Here, the case will be communicated by phone and online.”

Su Xiuran pursed her lips and nodded, and still had the strength to raise her hand to touch her head: "Thank you."

After finally helping him to wash, he wrapped his nightgown again, before leaving the bathroom, he leaned over in the sink and retched a few times, vomited some gastric juice.

Knowing that he might have a stomach problem, but not knowing where the inflammation caused the fever, Su Xiuran's face was pale, and when he leaned over the sink with trembling shoulders, Lin Mei's eyes wet unconsciously.

The sympathy and pity she felt towards Qu Yan because of Zhang Yan's words before was gone.

If even such a cruel mother who only cares about venting her emotions and grievances can be easily forgiven, then what are the grievances and injuries Su Xiuran has suffered over the years?

She helped him to lie on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover him up, poured warm water for him to drink a couple of sips, and saw that his frowning brows were slightly loosened before walking out of the room.

Su Xiuyan stayed in the living room the whole time, Lin Mei walked over and briefly told him about Su Xiuran's situation.

The two of them weighed it up, and Su Xiuyan called and asked his own health doctor to rush over with the medicine as soon as possible.

Su Xiuran had a stomach problem. Before the doctor came, he must not be able to eat breakfast. He had a fever, and they didn't dare to take painkillers and other medicines casually. They could only take some physical therapy and cover him with ice packs. Cool him down on his forehead.

Lin Mei and Su Xiuyan casually ate a few mouthfuls of porridge prepared in the kitchen, thinking helplessly: This is really a troubled morning, whether Su Xiuran wants to or not, they have to stay a little longer in S City God.

She suddenly thought that it was a bit of a coincidence that someone entered the house to make trouble first, and then found out that the reporter was staying. Su Xiuran didn't go home for several years, but this kind of thing happened the next day after he came back.It seemed like someone was deliberately manipulating him, creating troubles and blocking him in Su's house, making it impossible for him to return to City B.

Lin Mei pondered for a moment, then asked Su Xiuyan: "What happened to the Du Lin you found out last time? Did you find out where he is now?"

After Du Lin's name and identity were found out, Zhang Yan naturally obtained his information from the police system. Lin Mei didn't specifically ask about the specific progress, but as the executor, Su Xiuyan should have been informed.

Su Xiuyan's expression was not very good, and he obviously thought of the point that "too many coincidences are intentional": "If I can find out where the person is, even if there is no evidence, I will go to say hello earlier, okay? If it is not illegal , and there are many ways to make a person feel bad."

He said a little discouraged: "Du Lin's current address in the police system is simply wrong, it is just a house he rented... His father has passed away, and his mother immigrated to a foreign country a few years ago. He left Shenyue After that, I jumped a few times, and I couldn’t find it after that, and now I have completely lost the news.”

Electronic file management has not been popularized in China for many years, and there are still many loopholes that can be exploited. Even in highly electronic countries, it is not impossible to live incognito and use false identities.

What's more, Du Lin himself is a computer expert, and everything that can leave traces of action, such as air tickets, train tickets, credit cards, etc., has been cleverly avoided by him.

And in this way, they and the police are 100% sure that Du Lin is behind the scenes. After all, as an ordinary person, there is absolutely no need to adopt such a cautious way of life.

With a gloomy expression, Su Xiuyan took out the cigarette that he carried with him, and wanted to light one.

Lin Mei raised his hand to press down his exquisite metal cigarette case, and said, "Even if it is a smoking cessation substitute, don't be too dependent on it. Compared with nicotine dependence, getting rid of the habit is the most important."

What she said made sense, Su Xiuyan resentfully put away the cigarette case, raised his hand and pressed his fingertips between his brows: "It's really terrible."

It is rare for Lin Mei to sympathize with him, but when she thought of Su Xiuran who was still lying on the bed, she couldn't help persuading him: "You should also pay attention to your body, if the two of you are lying down, you will be in big trouble."

Su Xiuyan didn't appreciate it at all, and looked at her with his arms crossed and smiled: "Don't worry, the tradition of the Su family has always been that only one family can lie down... How dare I break the rules set by my brother?"

Lin Mei saw that he still didn't forget to ridicule Su Xiuran's back then when Su Xiuran tried his best to exhaust himself to the front line of life and death in the hospital, so she could only helplessly think that she would care about Su Xiuyan who could "bear" anytime, anywhere, It really deserves to be treated like a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions.

Not long after, the doctor rushed over, checked Su Xiuran's body and confirmed that he could still stay at home for treatment, then gave him antipyretic injections and anti-inflammatory drugs, and left a nurse on duty.

Su Xiuran was a little dizzy from the fever all morning, and finally managed to get up at noon, so he asked Lin Mei to bring her laptop to communicate with Zhang Yan.

He was still sick, nauseated and unable to eat, he had no energy in his body, and his complexion was very bad. After the video was connected, Zhang Yan was startled, and he said, "Why did you fall down again, or else You'd better not worry about things here, and take a good rest."

Su Xiuran was quite tired of his current powerless state, so he waved his hands slightly and pursed his lips and said, "Your energy is limited, don't talk nonsense."

Even if he became ill like this, his momentum was still intact.The victim was a colleague of the sub-bureau, which was much more serious than usual. Now that the entire sub-bureau was shrouded in a dull and depressing atmosphere, Zhang Yan didn't have the time to say more, so he explained the details of the case immediately, and combined the crime scene report and The autopsy report was sent to him.Su Xiuran opened the transmitted file and browsed quickly.

The deceased was a young female operator who had just started working in the sub-bureau. She was a graduate of the police academy. Although she was not an experienced criminal policeman, she knew a lot about various criminal methods and criminal psychology.

With the whole city rushing to arrest suspects, she certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to go to a private meeting with a netizen whom she had never met before.

So the place where she was victimized was not in a public place, but in her own apartment, but the door locks of her apartment were all intact, and there was still a teapot with residual tea in the living room.

The reason she was determined to be killed by the same suspect is that she died in the same way as the male victim in the park-she was pierced through the throat by a dagger tied to a clothes pole in the bathroom of her apartment, Blood flowed all over the floor.

Su Xiuran looked at it and said, "The suspect and the victim should be familiar."

Zhang Yan in the video nodded: "We also think so. Xiao Sun is not a person with low vigilance. If she is not someone she knows well, she will not let the suspect in."

Xiao Sun was the young operator who was victimized this time. Zhang Yan couldn't help but put more emotions on his face when he said this. No matter how calm and thoughtful he was, he watched his colleagues and subordinates being killed. That way, it's hard to hide the grief.

Su Xiuran pondered and said, "This person was acquainted with her before the incident in the park."

This sentence seems useless, but in fact, when you think about it deeply, the implied meaning is even more terrifying. If the suspect was already familiar with the police officer Xiao Sun before the park incident, it is very likely that he deliberately approached Xiao Sun before the park incident. Sun's.

From the point of view of conspiracy theory, his purpose of getting close to Xiaosun is to plan a crime. Knowing a practitioner in the police field and learning some knowledge of criminal investigation through her is of course beneficial for him to avoid criminal investigation.

As for the killing of Xiaosun, it can be understood that the recent police investigation was too high-pressure, which made him no longer have the opportunity to commit crimes, and also aroused his backlash, so he simply killed the police officer he knew well as revenge and revenge on the police. to mock.

Su Xiuran added: "This is not the first time the suspect has visited the victim's house."

Zhang Yan didn't think about it, and asked quickly: "Where can I be sure?"

Su Xiuran flipped through the photos: "I remember that the victim...that is, Sun Ran, once said in the office that she was from Fujian and never drank green tea, and she didn't prepare green tea at home. But the tea at the scene, depending on the color, was different It was green tea, which meant that the tea leaves were either brought by the suspect herself, or she prepared them specially for the suspect.

"If it was brought by the suspect, the gift box containing the tea and tea cans should still be left on the table out of courtesy, and will not be put away immediately. So I don't think it is the first time for the suspect to go to her apartment." He said. Then, he paused again before continuing, "There is also a shoe rack at the door, judging by the arrangement, it should be a pair of slippers missing..."

The suspect was very cautious. After the murder, he packed away almost all the items he had used, including the teacups on the table. When the police arrived, only the one used by Sun Ran was left, not to mention fingerprints , handled neatly.

Colleagues in the evidence team didn't even let go of the hair on the sofa cushions, etc., but they couldn't find any suspicious ones.

After listening to Su Xiuran's deduction, Zhang Yancai noticed that the objects in Sun Ran's room were arranged in a very delicate and orderly manner, and it can be seen that she is a very self-disciplined person in normal times.

Because of this, it is convenient for the suspect to clean up the traces left by him, and it also exposes some subtle discords.

For example, the wooden shoe rack at the door is a simple open shoe rack, which is very popular with apartment residents and small apartment owners. Sun Ran arranges shoes in layers, one for sports, one for leather shoes and another On the second floor, slippers were placed.

Because she lives alone, she doesn't need many pairs of slippers. On the other half of the floor, she neatly puts shoe polish, umbrellas and other sundries.

And looking at the empty space, apart from the slippers she was wearing when she was killed, there should be another pair.If there was only an extra pair of slippers, it could be understood that Sun Ran prepared them for emergencies, not for anyone else.But she is a person who pays great attention to the indoor environment, and there are a few pairs of disposable slippers in the sundry basket next to the shoe rack, which are reserved for ordinary guests.

Su Xiuran said indifferently: "Will someone prepare slippers and special tea for the first-time visitor? Even if it's her boyfriend..."

Zhang Yan suddenly realized: "Do you think the suspect might be Xiao Sun's boyfriend? She didn't mention it in the office."

A slightly sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Su Xiuran's pale lips: "It's not necessarily true, some men can make many people think that he is their boyfriend or prospective boyfriend at the same time."

When he said this, it meant that he thought the suspect was a male, and the topic came back, which could explain why the first victim chose such a secret way of making friends online—his sexual orientation is not widely known by the public accept.

Zhang Yan thought about it, then sighed: "You are still my secret weapon."

Su Xiuran smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, if I can go to the scene... maybe I can find something."

After all, he was still worried about his physical condition and the troubled situation he was in at the moment.

It is inconvenient for Zhang Yan to say more, but he just tried to enlighten him: "It doesn't matter, since it is a secret weapon, I want to use it a few more times, so the maintenance of the weapon is also very important. You can rest assured to recover from your illness. I will let Xiao Xiao inform you of any progress at any time."

Su Xiuran smiled helplessly: "That's the only way."

After cutting off the video call with Zhang Yan, Su Xiuran closed the computer and leaned against the cushion behind him to close his eyes. Lin Mei thought he was tired and wanted to rest, so she wanted to put the computer away for him. Her hand said: "It's okay, I will use it soon."

Realizing that he just closed his eyes and rested his mind, most of which were still thinking about the case, Lin Mei sighed and said, "Activating brain cells also requires heat, you've already overdrawn a lot."

Su Xiuran opened his eyes and smiled at her, and raised his hand to hook her palm: "Xiaomei, I'm sorry for making you worry about following me."

Lin Mei snorted lightly: "You know that too."

He looked at her with a slight smile, licked his pale thin lips, and said, "help me see my mother, she is too emotional today, I don't know how she is doing now."

Lin Mei really felt that she hated iron for being weak, the one who got hurt was obviously him, right?

The slap marks on his face hadn't disappeared yet, so he was worried about Qu Yan, obviously his dear mother disappeared after the murder, and then the doctor came to the house to make such a big noise, she couldn't possibly not know about it, right?As a result, I didn't even come over to have a look, and didn't even ask a question.

Seeing the disapproval in her eyes, Su Xiuran bent his lips helplessly: "Anyway... she is my mother after all."

"Not all women who have given birth to children are qualified to be called mothers..." Lin Mei said coldly, feeling that she was speaking too harshly, and sighed, "Well, I shouldn't be like this Speaking of your mother, she's far better than a lot of more dysfunctional mothers."

Seeing her helpless look, Su Xiuran smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I still have reason, some love that I can't get no matter what, I won't force it... But since we have met, what should be done I have to do what I want.”

How could his tolerance and love for Qu Yan be as easy as he said?

After being slapped by her and scolding so many cruel words, when he saw that she was about to be hit by a gasoline bottle, he still subconsciously stood in front of her, in case the bottle was not gasoline but sulfuric acid or other corrosion The sexual fluid, whether he wanted it or not, must be in the hospital now.

Lin Mei thought that if there was no mother-child affection for Qu Yan, his reaction would not be so quick and timely.

And those words, Lin Mei believes that according to Su Xiuran's personality, if an irrelevant person rushes out to point fingers at him or make rude remarks, most of the time he won't even look away, just treat it as if the other party is making noise, let alone Don't worry about it.

She thought, sighed again, leaned over and kissed the corner of his pale lips: "Okay, I'll go to your brother and ask, if you're not feeling well, or if you need anything, I have a mobile phone with me, call Just call me, the nurse is next door."

Su Xiuran smiled and took her hand, shook it lightly and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiaomei."

Lin Mei sighed in her heart, knowing that if she continued to stay in Su's old house, Su Xiuran would have to swallow Qu Yan's humiliation so much. For a moment, she really hoped that Su Xiuran would never see Qu Yan again, so as not to continue to suffer like this physically and mentally. Create.
