The morning sun breaks through the morning fog and rises slowly from the sky. The moment the dazzling light emerges, it illuminates every corner of the earth in a rapid way, which hurts my eyes.

I woke up from the dewy roof of the building in the early morning. Because I couldn't stand the direct sunlight, I turned over in a daze to avoid the glare of the light.

Opening his eyes subconsciously, he realized that he was still on top of a skyscraper, and there were small grains of sand standing up on the uneven ground in front of him, full and eye-catching.

He stretched out his hand and scratched the surroundings twice, but he didn't catch anything, so he resigned himself to his fate and got up from the ground.

When seeing everything around clearly, the drowsy mind immediately became sober in an instant.

Because the arm was lying on the ground for too long, there were small red spots printed on it, which was very ugly.His body was even more sore from sleeping on the concrete floor all night.

I raised my hand and patted the right side of my face that touched the ground when I was sleeping on my side. The not-so-sour taste made me cry out.

I never thought that my drinking capacity would be so bad that I would get drunk at the touch of a touch, and I would sleep alone on the roof of this deserted building all night.

It would be a lie to say that there is no fear.It is said that being drunk makes people courageous, and now it seems that this is not true at all.

The clothes on my body were already wet with dew, I pulled the clothes sticking to my body, and muttered, "What's the matter, didn't I just sleep on the top of the building all night, why did I wake up like this?"

The stiffness and numbness on my face hadn't faded away, so I patted my face a few more times and started to search for my phone all over the floor.

Beside him are thrown messy cans and a lot of snacks scattered on the ground, especially conspicuous on the roof of this empty building, which can even be described as messy.

Fortunately, I'm here alone now, otherwise, according to my temperament, I'm afraid I'll be ashamed to see others in the future.

When I rummaged through a pile of trash to find my mobile phone, it was out of battery and turned off automatically. I patted my head sadly and wailed loudly, "Ah... Lin Xi, you idiot, how could you sleep on the roof all night, and still After drinking, are you stupid? Or crazy."

The memory of last night flashed in my mind vaguely, and I got up from the ground half sadly and half annoyed.Start cleaning up the mess twice as fast as usual.

It is said that it is good to go crazy for a while, but regret the medicine afterwards.Now, I finally understand clearly.

When I got home, the sun was high, and the dim light passed through the glass windows and shone directly into the room.

Maybe it's because of the morning dew, I suddenly feel that the sunshine is very friendly, warm and extremely comfortable.

I couldn't tell the time, so I went home dejectedly, charged up my phone, lay down on the bed amidst the stars, and continued to catch up on sleep.

Because I didn't sleep well all night, I slept very soundly this time. Between half-dream and half-awake, I seemed to see that familiar figure again.

"Nian Jin..."

Once again, I woke up profusely from a dream calling his name.

Fragmentary fragments seemed to be real, and An Jinnian in the dream held my hand and said to me, "Lin Xi, goodbye now, we will never see each other again..."

The sad tone was mixed with countless desolations, which made me feel heartbroken even in my dream.

An Jinnian, the name that I have woken up from sleep by chanting countless times, once again broke into my dream and said my final farewell to me.

It's like seeing you again after goodbye, so uncomfortable.

The battery of the mobile phone is fully charged, I skillfully press the power button, and it is the current time, three o'clock in the afternoon, that greets my eyes.

"Oops..." I slapped my head, only to remember that my original intention today was to ask Qin Xiao for a clear question.

Getting up in a hurry, tidying up in a disorderly manner, and living like a little old woman, it is not easy to do anything.

Everything was ready in half an hour.

I was under the scorching sun, wearing a sun hat and sun protection clothing, and went out fully armed, as rigorous as I wanted.

Or maybe, maybe I’m the only one who thinks it’s rigorous, maybe a dress like mine will only make people feel like a crazy person in the eyes of others.

……

Qin Xiao's private detective agency opened in a small alley that has not been visited for a long time. The dilapidated buildings, the earthen walls covered with green plants, and the musty smell mixed with moss are all in response to the sparsely populated place.

No wonder Xu Yan has been looking for him for so many years, but she has never found any trace of him. It turns out that he is hiding here.

Forgive me, no one would have imagined that the old young master of the Qin family would willingly degenerate into living in a slum, dragging out an ignoble existence.

I also learned a thing or two about his past from Xu Yan.So when I saw him sitting in a dilapidated office, dressed in a formal suit that didn't match the decor in the room, I was really shocked.

Is this really the arrogant Qin Xiao that Xu Yan said?Why do I always feel like I've got the wrong person.

I cautiously opened the door, poked my head out, and smiled, "Ah! I'm busy!"

Qin Xiao looked up at me from the computer in his busy schedule, and said, "Come on, come in."

His reaction is not strange, he seems to have expected that I will come to him today, everything seems so natural to him.

I opened the door and went in, sat down on a small sofa in the office, looking around uncomfortably.

I wonder how Qin Xiao survived all these years.Abandoning his identity as the eldest son of the Qin family, he has nothing.If the Qin family went bankrupt, it's not surprising that he still has private property.

But I clearly remember Xu Yan said that Qin Xiao was only 16 years old when he left, penniless and poor.

Although his situation doesn't look much better now than it did back then, there are still some things that are different after all.Perhaps years of experience have made him more mature and stable.

With that proud skin off, the current Qin Xiao is like a working-class figure living at the bottom.

"Tell me, let me help with what to do." I cut directly to the topic.

When Qin Xiao found me at this time, it inevitably made me suspicious. Coupled with his profession, it was hard for me not to wonder whether the encounter yesterday was intentional.

After so many years, no matter how much Xu Yan has affection for him, to me, from the beginning to the end, he is just a stranger whom I have only met a few times.

Not friends, nor friendship.

"How do you know that I want you to help me instead of really wanting to show you something." Qin Xiao stopped his hands and looked at me with a faint smile.

I put my hands on my chest, full of momentum, "I'm not a fool. Jiangzhou has been in turmoil recently, and you appeared at this time. Anyone with a little brain can guess the reason. Besides, don't tell me you It's for Xu Yan, I don't believe these words."

Qin Xiao looked at me appreciatively, "That's right, I have some insight, no wonder An Jinnian likes you so much."

My complexion changed, and I knew that Qin Xiao's words were not without reason, so I asked, "Qin Xiao, we are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. If you have anything to say, please speak quickly, and don't play tricks on me."

"Look at this." Qin Xiao took out a stack of photos from the drawer under his desk and dropped them on his desk.

He pouted at me and said, "Nan, that's all, take a look."

I looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. "What do you mean?"

I walked over, reached out to retrieve the photos from his desk one by one, and quickly read them.

In the photo are a man and a woman, and the man looks familiar.As for the woman, she still looks familiar.

I got closer to the photo, looked through it carefully, and finally recognized the actor in the photo, "This is Jinnian's father..."

"En." Qin Xiao nodded, "That's right, it seems that An Jinnian has brought you to meet his parents, then take a look at the girl in the photo."

"Female?" I frowned deeply, feeling like I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it. "It looks familiar, but I just can't remember where I saw it."

"Then look at this again." Qin Xiao said and threw me another photo.

The person in this photo is An Jinnian.

I was even more puzzled by what Qin Xiao did, "What are you doing, secretly filming."

"No, you still have the hobby of taking secret photos. But, that's not right! What are you doing taking pictures of Jinnian?" I went through the photos one by one from the beginning to the end, still feeling dissatisfied with Qin Xiao's actions untie.

Judging from the age of the photo of An Jinnian's father, it should be from more than [-] years ago.

But more than twenty years have passed, where did these photos of Qin Xiao come from.

Qin Xiao hugged his chest and reminded, "Compare An Jinnian's photo with the woman in the previous photo, and see if there are any similarities between the two of them."

After what he said, I belatedly arranged all the photos one by one, and then compared them one by one.

Using An Jinnian's photo to cover the half of An's father, a magical effect came out.

Am I blind?Or maybe I was wrong.

In the photo, An Jinnian's face overlapped with that of the strange woman, which was surprisingly similar.

In order to prevent myself from seeing it wrong, I moved closer, compared each one, and murmured, "How could it be..."

Qin Xiao sat lazily on the chair, seeing all the strange expressions in my eyes, "How is it, isn't it very similar?"

"Where did you get these photos?" I grabbed the stack of photos and asked with a frown. "And looking at the watermark, it should be a photo from more than [-] years ago..."

"Yes, you are right." Qin Xiao confessed. "These photos were collected inadvertently when I investigated my family's incidents in the past few years. How about it, are you surprised?"

"How is it possible, after so many years, how can it still be so intact." I couldn't believe it, and still took the photos for comparison.

No way, who made An Jinnian so similar to the strange woman in the photo that I couldn't but be curious and want to find out the so-called truth.

Especially the coldness between their brows, they are exactly the same.

"Of course, I paid a lot of money to buy this from a detective agency." Qin Xiao raised his lips proudly, "Besides, our business is very particular, but anyone who receives an entrusted business will firmly Keep it a secret..."

I can't help but despise, "Your so-called secrecy is to sell it to another company at a price?"

"Cough..." Qin Xiao coughed twice and explained, "Of course not."
