Eight Fresh Soup

Chapter 23 Birthday Dinner (2)
"Why, tell me?" Moran encouraged while drinking the soup, with the look of his boss.Well, beauty, I am willing to be your subordinate, he thought to himself.

"The murder weapon can't be found. After analysis, it may be a tie. I think the murderer must have heard the news of Du Xiaomei's pregnancy and wanted to kill him temporarily. Therefore, the murder weapon should be found in Du Xiaomei's closet. Later, we interrogated her." Liao Yongli, he is indeed missing a tie, which confirms our thinking. If the murderer took Liao Yongli's tie as a murder weapon, then she must have arrived at the scene first, and then did it after Du Xiaomei appeared. After the confrontation, I opened the cupboard door to get the tie, and there was bound to be a fight, but no one heard the sound of the fight in her room, and we found no trace of the fight, I have investigated all of this." He ate noodles , while talking.

"Why didn't the murderer leave the tie at the scene because he loved him." Moran sighed, and then said, "But she wouldn't be so stupid as to take the tie home. I remember when we left, you searched Checked our bags and recorded what we brought with us. The tie should still be in the villa, have you found it?"

"Guess." He made a fool of himself, pretending to be eating vegetables.

"She must have flushed it down the bathroom toilet, it was the best way."

He laughed, admiring her wit.

"Do you know who it is?" she asked, interrupting his laugh.

"Yeah." He stopped laughing and agreed calmly.

"Who is it?" she asked, tilting her head.

Instead of answering the question, he asked, "Guess what I passed?"

"Fingerprints on the tie."

Wow, she is so smart.

"Using a tie to strangle someone, if you don't use gloves, it's hard not to leave fingerprints, but the murderer may not have thought of this in a hurry, and even if he thought about it, he might not be able to find the gloves right away, and you didn't find the gloves in our luggage , so you think it is possible that she did it with bare hands, and fingerprints may be left on it." Moran shook his head and guessed triumphantly, "Come on, you don't know who the murderer is yet, stop pretending, you should have Just found the tie, if you found the fingerprints, you would have acted long ago, and would you still put on my words here?"

He didn't answer, just wanted to go and kiss her.

"What's the matter, no fingerprints on the tie?"

"Soaked in water, it's blurry, it overlaps so much, it's hard to analyze. I don't know how she did it."

"I know." She said with a smile.

"You know?" He stared at her opposite, under the light, her clean face was as fresh and delicate as an apple, he really wanted to overturn the dining table, press her under it, and threaten her with a vicious tone, would you say it?If you don't say it, I'll get on it!Of course, this was just a fantasy. He realized that since he met her 11 years ago, he had become a fantasist. Thinking of this, he felt sad for himself.

"Did you take out anything else when you took out your tie?" she asked.

"I'm eating."

"Is that more disgusting than a corpse?"

"Yeah." He felt sick at the thought of the four pads they found in the toilet bowl.

"Man!" Moran rolled his eyes at him. "Wrapping two pieces of sanitary napkins on her hands is equivalent to wearing a cotton glove. She can also hold the tie through the sanitary napkins and use her strength. I tried it." Said After that, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing again.

"why are you laughing?"

"Excuse me, how did you feel when you dug up the sanitary napkin?" She asked with a smile.

"Disgusting! I think one of you women did it on purpose because, uh, they're clean," he thought the subject was embarrassing, he thought she brought it up on purpose just to see him embarrassed, he thought Here I couldn't help but glared at her, "Put the clean things in, just to make the toilet clogged on purpose, and to trouble Du Xiaomei."

God, pads, pads, he's about to throw up.

Moran "giggled" and asked again: "So, have you kept these things?"

He sighed.

"No, I didn't expect it to be so valuable at the time, and I don't know if I can still find it now." He glanced at her, "Can you stop talking about it?"

"Yes, sir." Moran nodded pretendingly.

"You just talked about the mask and haven't finished. What is Du Xiaomei trying to test? Who is Liao Yongli's lover?"

Moran roughly told him his views on the mask, and he shook his head.

"It's really a complicated experiment." He ate another piece of sweet and sour short ribs and asked, "Is this the murderer?"

"Correct."

"How do you know? Based on this mask test alone?"

"I found out that she told an obvious lie in what everyone said that night. After thinking about it, she was the only one who had the chance. Of course, there are a few places. I have to ask Liao Yongli. You should ask him. He's afraid of you. By the way, I have another question I wanted to ask you just now. "

"You said."

"Did you tell Liao Yongli about the fake finger?" she asked.

"No, because I still have some doubts about him from the beginning to the end. Although he didn't do it himself, it's hard to guarantee that he won't conspire with a certain woman. Have you told him?"

"Didn't you tell me not to tell it? Of course I didn't." When she said this, her eyes suddenly rolled, "I want to do an experiment, Gao Jing."

After listening to her plan, he finally nodded and said, "Okay. I'll give you this chance to be a detective."

She smiled at him.

After dinner, it was almost 8 o'clock. Moran looked at the clock on the wall and thought, Jonah would be back soon, and she didn't want her cousin to know that she held a big banquet for Gao Jing's birthday today.If Jonah knew about it, she would die laughing.Maybe it was her action that caught his attention, and he immediately said wittily, "Then, I'm leaving."

"Okay. See you tomorrow." She said with a smile immediately.

He turned and walked towards the door, then suddenly turned his head again and said to her, "Can you see me off?"

He still had to go further, Moran tilted his head to look at him, and didn't answer.

"Today is my birthday." There was pleading in his tone.

What about birthdays?Is it not enough to invite you to dinner?I still have to do the dishes?It's so cold outside, it's December and I need to change my shoes!Moran had a lot of reasons for refusing, but they all disappeared without a trace the moment she spoke, and what she heard herself say was: "Aren't you cold?"

"It's a little bit, it's not cold after eating." He looked at him without blinking, as if he wasn't talking about his body's coldness.She swept her eyes and saw the shirt in his windbreaker again, thinking that he must be cold, since he just entered the door until now, he hasn't taken off the windbreaker, and the air conditioner is not turned on in the room.

So she said, "Wait a minute."

She turned and walked into her parents' room, found a sweater, and handed it to him.

"Take it and wear it. My dad's is bigger, so you should be able to wear it." She said, seeing him frowning slightly, as if he was a little bit resistant at first, he hesitated for a while, and finally stretched out his hand, and continued Over the sweater.Then, she looked at him, silently took off the trench coat outside, and put on a sweater. For a moment, she felt that watching him put on the sweater obediently, as if he was her son.

"Pretty good." She went up to help him straighten his clothes and said with a smile.

At this time, he suddenly said, "Send me off, okay?"

He looked into her eyes, and his voice was very low, which made Moran have the illusion that the words seemed to come from his eyes.So she felt she was being driven to the door by something invisible and said, well, put on her shoes and went out first, and she heard him close the door behind her.

They got on the elevator together without speaking to each other.He didn't look at her, he kept staring at the phone next to the elevator door, as if he was having a secret communication with the emergency phone, and Moran didn't bother him, she didn't know what he was thinking, but she knew he would eventually say something What, he wouldn't just ask her to see him off.

But he didn't speak until they walked out of the building and all the way to his car.So, she was about to leave, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, she said to herself, I have fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, even Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo's [-]-year-old send-off will always have an end, not to mention there is still a relationship between us. Gao Jie is an insurmountable river.

"Well, happy birthday to you, I have to go back, it's cold outside," she said.

"Wait a minute." He suddenly took two steps closer to her. She stepped back and almost leaned against his car. She was worried that his car would stain her little pink coat if he didn't wash it. She couldn't help frowning. What did he want? say what?Why don't you say it soon?It must be an apology, either for Gao Jie's matter, or for the last time I slapped her in the villa for no apparent reason, well, tell me quickly, I'm listening, she thought.

She looked up at him, waiting.

"Hmm..." He seemed to be having trouble opening his mouth, and he said after a while, "I've been very busy recently."

Huh?What kind of prologue is this?There is no need to start with Pangu's epoch-making when I apologize.

She waited for him to continue.

"There are a lot of cases waiting for me. A few days ago, someone was dismembered. And yesterday, a woman hanged herself. We suspect that she did not commit suicide. Anyway... well, I've been very busy recently," he stammered As she said that, she didn't know why he said these things. Could it be that the police station is short of manpower and needs to recruit a new person, so he took a fancy to me?But I never went to police school.Will they want me?Moran thought wildly.

He propped one hand on the car, as if he was borrowing strength in secret, the expression on his face was unpredictable, sometimes embarrassed, sometimes happy, sometimes serious, sometimes a little shy.Oh, what on earth was he trying to say.

"Well, my energy is limited, there are always many things behind me, sometimes I, um, can't help myself..."

"Gao Jing..." She finally wanted to intervene, but he interrupted immediately.

"Will you let me finish, Moran?" His voice was majestic, but with strong anxiety.

She closed her mouth and waited for him to continue.He had already seen her impatience, and his expression became more and more tense.

"There are many things that follow me, and I have to do them, so I have neglected many things. In fact, what I have always wanted to tell you is..." He looked at her, and suddenly stopped, and she urged anxiously in her heart. , hurry up, hurry up, she saw him put his other hand on his forehead, looking like he couldn't make up his mind, and then completely beyond her expectation, he suddenly hugged her in his arms, In her ear, she whispered, "Thank you, Moran."

It turned out to be this sentence.

She wanted to answer him, you're welcome, or, more humorously, you should thank me.But she opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, his face was pressed against hers, his breath surrounded her, and his hands were tightly grasping her back, as if she was his The first big rock she saw when she climbed up from the cliff, she could hear his rapid breathing, his face was so hot, and his body was even hotter, she seemed to see the mercury on the thermometer rising slowly.He didn't speak, but just hugged her tightly. At that moment, she knew that what he wanted to say was definitely not this sentence.

She decided to make things clear, she didn't want him to misunderstand.

So, she finally pushed him away, looked into his eyes, and said, "Gao Jing, I have no other intentions to celebrate your birthday today, just because we are friends. Don't think wrong. Actually, I don't like it." You." I don't know why, when I said those last few words, it was as uncomfortable as biting a small stone.

He looked down at her, blinking his eyes, as if he didn't hear what she was saying.

"I don't like you." She could only repeat it again, this time she was a little more determined, and she felt that she was quite capable of resisting the dizzying masculinity blowing towards her face.She looked at him calmly, trying to follow his gaze, trying to make him listen to her carefully and see the reality clearly, but at this moment, she suddenly found that her eyes became microscopes in an instant. Before, she saw What she focused on was his entire face, what she noticed was the expression on his face, but now her gaze unknowingly decomposed the organs on his face, what she saw was his eyelashes, his pores , the tip of his nose, his lips and the faint traces of beard on his lips, bad, she immediately turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

At this moment, she heard him speak.

"I know you don't like me, but I don't like you either." He stared at her and said lightly, as if he was just saying that he didn't like scrambled eggs.

His understated attitude surprised her a bit, she turned her head, adjusted the focus of her eyes, and finally restored them to normal range of vision, she saw the expression on his face clearly, he was smiling, but his eyes were quite anxious.

"That's just right." She nodded with an indifferent look and said, "We hit it off."

"Mo Lan, I hate you very, very much..." He pulled her arm and whispered, "Very disgusting, you don't know, how much I hate you, very disgusting, really..."

She looked up at the sky, the moonlight is so cold tonight.

The warm feeling just now was slowly fading, and she glanced at him.

"I see, you don't have to repeat it so many times. You can go now. Goodbye." She suddenly wanted to kick him, but when she looked up, she saw the small lines at the corners of his eyes and the pores next to his nose, and she quickly Looking away, and turning away, this terrible change had made her unable to stay any longer.

"Mo Lan." When she entered the building, she heard him calling her from behind.She didn't want to talk to him at first, but it seemed that she was affected by gravity, and her body rotated.

She looked back at him, and suddenly found that his eyes were full of loneliness. Although in the dark, she couldn't see anything clearly, but now her eyesight was beyond the normal range, and she was sure that she saw it.

"Thank you," he said.

"Goodbye," she said, turning around and entering the building without looking back.

?What are you instigating!Even if I say it first, do you have to say the same thing as me?Don't know what to say?Since you hate me, and hate me very, very much, what else can I tell you?she thought indignantly.Even so, when she heard the sound of the car door closing, she still trembled all over, so she felt the cold of the winter night again.
