Chapter 39 39. Fool
  Sheep soup restaurant in Scissor Lane.

Chen Xiangyin's face was particularly pale today, and Chen Guangzhao's face was a little transparent.

She concentrated on sprinkling pepper into the mutton soup, taking a big spoonful of it, stirred it well, and drank the soup, feeling extremely satisfied.

He Chongtian picked up the vermicelli in the bowl and moved his eyes away from Chen Xiangyin's face.

He had no appetite, and he had never had such a hot breakfast before.

In the past, when I was in the academy, I would read in the morning and then have dinner every day.

My mother believed in the idea of ​​working their bones and starving their body and skin, and would not let them eat too much.

Steamed buns and boiled eggs with vegetables in the morning and evening, rice and boiled vegetables with eggs at noon.

Occasionally there are some events or festivals, and it’s the best if everyone makes dumplings together.

After so many years in the academy and in society, it was inevitable to socialize, but he had never consciously enjoyed oral pleasure.

This bowl of mutton soup made him feel uncomfortable all over. It looked and smelled too good.

Especially when you look at the agarwood, it becomes more fragrant.

People who are greedy for pleasure will not achieve anything, and those who hang around with anger will be dispelled by comfort and happiness.

Following desires will only wear away your original intention.

Thinking of this, he pushed away the bowl, stood up and went to the window to buy white pancakes and boiled eggs.

I've been with someone three times recently and I can't indulge more.

Chen Xiang introduced him not to eat and didn't ask. He just stretched out his chopsticks and picked all the meat into his bowl.

Keep your head down and continue eating.

"Don't overeat." He Tongtian blurted out.

Chen Xiangyin raised his head and said dissatisfied: "If you don't want to eat it yourself, why don't you let me eat it?"

“I don’t know what I will encounter in a while.”

"You will have strength only when you are full. If something happens later, don't be weak."

He Chongtian: "..." Are your feet weak? I?
  ……

In front of the rusty iron gate of the community, Chen Xiangyin and He Chongtian stood at the base of the wall, in a blind spot.

The nearly 30-year-old house was a resettlement house built after expropriating land from nearby villagers.

Chen Xiangyin looked around and saw that this community was too old, and the residents were all old people. Many of the windows were broken and no one lived there anymore.

Dilapidated, outdated and lifeless.

It was a cloudy day, the air was humid and cold, and the thick and moving dark clouds were heavy and low.

Agarwood is not very comfortable.

To her, rats are the filthiest and darkest creatures. They hide in damp places, cannibalize themselves and bring plague...

She took out black velvet gloves from her bag and put them on.

The news that He Chongtian found out was that the weirdo wearing a white mask and a fisherman hat lived in the first unit at the gate of the community.

That is, there is a window facing north that can just see Scissor Lane.

Chen Xiangyin and He Chongtian looked at each other, nodded, and rushed towards the unit door together.

Chen Xiangyin was more agile and reached the corridor door first.

The moment he entered, his vision suddenly darkened.

Caught off guard, a tall man rushed towards me!

Agarwood suddenly felt dizzy!
  The man's facial features were distorted and his teeth were bared. He was holding a mouse by its tail and spinning it around as if for fun!

The struggling mouse came straight into her face!

Her shoulder was pinched hard by a big hand, and He Chongtian's arm was blocked in front of her face.

He pushed her to the wall in time.

The man didn't seem to see the two of them, and continued to jump and run out, shaking the mouse.

Chen Xiangyin's legs became weak and her chest heaved violently as she looked at the tall man who rushed out.

To be precise, he was a boy, about twenty years old, white and fat, with a huge butt!
  He was dressed quite cleanly.

The boy stood in the middle of the community, spinning around and shaking the mouse in his hand, laughing loudly like a howl and salivating.

"He's a fool." He Chongtian asserted.

"Mouse." Chen Xiangyin whispered.

"Maybe it's a coincidence."

coincide? There are not so many coincidences.

But now she wants to find Liu Ze, who is thin and somewhat hunchbacked.

In a six-story old community, Liu Ze would probably choose a place with higher floors to rent.

The line of sight below the fourth floor is blocked, so Shen Ji Tailoring cannot be seen.

The two of them walked lightly and climbed to the fifth floor.

There is a shoe rack at the door of the house on the left. The door inside is open and only the security door outside is locked.

You can vaguely hear the babbling sound of dropped frames, it's an opera. The changing tone of the drama seemed extremely strange in the dark corridor.

Looking in, a skinny old man was lying on a rocking chair, as if asleep, and the chair was still shaking.

Excluded for now.

On the right, you can't see it.

Chen Xiangyin knocked on the door, raised her voice, high-pitched and delicate, with Wu Nong's soft dialect: "Is there anyone there?"

The person who opened the door was a woman holding a child, frowning, and the greasy smell of breakfast smoke hit her face.

"Who are you looking for?" She was a little impatient.

Chen Xiangyin: "Our pharmacy is newly opened. Sangmen checks blood pressure and delivers eggs. Do you want to leave your phone number?"

boom!
  The door is closed.

He Chong Tian Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a low laugh escaped from deep in his throat.

Chen Xiang gave him a blank look and continued to go upstairs on tiptoe.

The platform on the top floor is wider. On the right side, there is a dusty doenjang jar with green onions piled next to it.

On the left, there are no couplets posted, nothing placed, and an empty door.

The window of the house on the left faces north. The reason Liu Ze chose to live here was because he would choose a place where he could see Shen Ji tailoring.

Chen Xiangyin remained calm and took out two black hairpins from his pocket.

As soon as he took it out, He Chongtian held a key in his hand.

?

He Chongtian did not explain that this was the master key of the property, and directly inserted the key into the cross door lock.

Rotate.

With a click, the door opened.

Chen Xiangyin held the silver needle between her two fingers, concentrated her attention, and broke into the door.

The originally narrow apartment turned out to be unexpectedly spacious.

All windows have curtains drawn.

At first glance, there are only walls and floors. There are no doors between rooms!

Chen Xiang glanced at He Chongtian in tacit understanding, and the two of them acted separately, one on the left and the other on the right.

The movement was very violent, the brakes were very sharp, there was no one around, and both bedrooms were empty.

"Could it be that he went out and didn't come back?" Chen Xiangyin asked.

He Chongtian's eyes fell on the small wooden table in the living room, which was also the only furniture in the house.

There is a Tangcai flower plate on the simple wooden table, with a half-bitten apple placed on it.

There is also a computer on the table.

There is only a screen, no host, and a few wires tangled in a mess.

Judging from the degree of oxidation of the apples, it didn’t take long.

He Chongtian reached out and touched the socket next to him, "It's warm."

"Not more than half an hour." Chen Xiangyin frowned.

If this is Liu Ze's residence, he must have left not long ago!
  You might just happen to pass them by!

Chen Xiang walked to the room facing north and looked down from the window sill. Shen Ji Tailor was a bit far away and could not be seen clearly.

She thought Liu Ze would set up a high-powered telescope here.

"He seemed to know we were coming and left in a hurry." He Chongtian suddenly said.

There was a slight thump in the agarwood, and at around six o'clock in the morning, He Chongtian called, and the two of them went to have breakfast before coming back.

It took no more than forty minutes in total. Where did Liu Ze know where to go?

"Could it be that the people on your side leaked the information?" Chen Xiang asked.

He Chongtian looked at the left keyboard thoughtfully: "No, win and R are worn away. What do these two keys mean?"

"You don't understand, and I don't understand either." Chen Xiangyin's tone was irritable.

I thought I would be able to find out Liu Ze today, but I failed!
  She can't wait that long!
  Rongrong's situation is like a time bomb, she is not sure what will happen!
  It was a mess, and she wanted to find Liu Ze as soon as possible.

What other clues have been overlooked? !

"Come here." He Chongtian's voice interrupted her anxiety.

Chen Xiangyin turned around and saw him, leaning against the window, looking downstairs with his angle blocked.

She walked along the wall and looked at the sky-high crane.

In my ears, Crane whispered warmly: "That fool is looking at us."

Chen Xiangyin looked over and saw that the fool who was shaking the mouse just now was standing straight downstairs with his head raised expressionlessly, staring at the window.

Chen Xiangyin shuddered, and she just said: How can there be so many coincidences.
