Living Paper

Huo Zhenye sent Datou back to the arrest room, but there was still no new clue to the case. He seemed to have touched something, but he just couldn't figure out the connection.

He returned to Huo's mansion, locked himself in the study, and wrote all the known clues on paper.

Mama Liu knocked on the door and came in: "The young master has been running all day, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

It was only then that Huo Zhenye felt hungry, and he ate a piece of bread a day: "Anything, as long as you are full."

Mama Liu didn't just find something to fill the young master's belly. She ordered a bowl of big wontons in duck soup. The duck leg meat was shredded and fried with bean sprouts, and the bean sprouts were carefully pinched off.

Seeing that Huo Zhenye was enjoying his meal, he asked him, "How are you and that Miss Bai?"

Huo Zhenye almost spewed out the wonton soup, but he swallowed it: "It's pretty good."

Liu's mother smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, I've already stewed the first-grade pot, simmered gently, and it will be fresh after a night of cooking. You can send it to her tomorrow."

"Put more tofu."

"Miss Bai likes tofu?"

Huo Zhenye took another bite of a big wonton, and opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "The old lady of the Bai family likes to eat it, old man, that tooth is suitable for eating tofu."

As soon as she heard that she was about to give something to Old Madam Bai, Madam Liu became even more enthusiastic: "Okay, don't worry, I will stew the abalone, sea cucumber and scallop until it tastes good, and I will change the ingredients continuously in three days, and then I will clean up all these things and make them fresh." A piece of old tofu is boiled in it, and those who are particular about it can eat it in one bite."

Huo Zhenye held back his smile, and flattered Mama Liu: "Yes, the old lady of the Bai family has the most tongue. She must be satisfied with Yipin Pot Stewed Tofu."

Mama Liu was also very satisfied. There is an old lady with a mouth in the Bai family. She must be a rich family. Mama Liu suggested: "Then you should take Miss Bai to watch movies and listen to music."

When Huo Zhenye thought of taking Bai Zhun to the movies, he couldn't help laughing, and when he smiled, Mama Liu also laughed, and sighed in his heart that this man still needs a woman to take care of him.

A young lady Bai managed to cook the little devil king of the world into obedience.

Huo Zhenye finished eating the wontons with a smile, stretched his waist, and continued to look for clues at the desk. He "taken" the case file of Song Mingjie's kidnapping and ticket tearing case out of the arrest room.

At that time, the arrest room also locked down the suspect, but no evidence was caught, and he was a member of the gang, so he didn't arrest anyone.

He flipped through the materials of those gangsters, and just halfway through, he felt a strong feeling of being watched.

His line of sight was behind him, and behind him was a floor-to-ceiling glass door, which led to a small balcony on the second floor.

Huo Zhenye kept writing, hooked open the drawer with one hand, took out the gun from the drawer, walked quickly to the French door, and pulled open the curtain. The glass door was tightly closed, and there was nothing behind the curtain.

He opened the door and went out, overlooking the entire garden from the railing of the small balcony in the study.

Huo's mansion turned on the lights early on, even in the garden, the rose garden, the stone corridor, and long lights on both sides, so that the owner can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the garden at night.

At this time, there was no one in the garden, only the misty lights.

Could it be that I was too tired, so I had hallucinations?

The wind blew into the study, flipping through the files with a "crash", Huo Zhenye closed the door, and looked down to see a small round handprint on the glass door, reaching only to his calf, as if there was a child who used to hide here to play hide-and-seek.

Huo Zhenye frowned, there were indeed children of servants in the mansion, but they were not allowed to go up to the second floor, but he hadn't been home for half a month, maybe some children had sneaked up there.

Early the next morning, he packed his things and went to the arresting room. Mama Liu chased him out: "Here, this is Tiao Tau Cake, and this is Shuang Niang Tuan. You can send it to Miss Bai. We will wait two days for a first order of tofu."

Huo Zhenye nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll send it to him."

Thinking that Bai Zhun must be very tired these days, he must have some desserts, so Huo Zhenye drove to Yuqingli first, and knocked on the door of Bai's house.

He put down the snack box when he entered the room, and said softly to Axiu: "When your brother gets up, give this to him, and you will have a portion."

Axiu nodded.

Bai Zhun was lying on the bed, he heard Huo Zhenye's voice, but he was too lazy to get up to talk to him, turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, but suddenly smelled a smell that didn't belong to Huo Zhenye.

He opened his eyes suddenly, got up and went out of the house: "What's the smell on you?"

Huo Zhenye turned around and saw Bai Zhun sitting in a wheelchair, one step away from him, staring at him with frowning eyes.

Huo Zhenye smiled: "Your nose is really sharp, Shuang Niang Tuan, do you want to eat?"

As he spoke, he opened the box, and there were four dumplings in the box, snow-white and plump, with the color of red bean paste and sesame filling under the white skin, and it smelled sweet.

Bai Zhun shook his head: "It's not like this."

Huo Zhenye put down the food box and raised his sleeves: "It's not smelly, I just take a shower when I go out in the morning." Speaking of taking a bath, he peeked at Bai Zhun, the Bai family should install a bathtub for a shower.

Bai Zhun approached him, grabbed his tie with his hand, and pulled him down. Huo Zhenye bent down, but he didn't notice for a moment, and almost touched nose with Bai Zhun.

He was so close that he could see himself in Bai Zhun's eyes, Bai Zhun's eyes were as dark as stars in the vast sea, Huo Zhenye wanted to joke, but now he couldn't even think of a joke.

Bai Zhun pushed him away again, and interrogated: "What did you provoke again?"

"What do you mean I provoke you? About Jin Dangui, she found the wrong person." He is still innocent.

"It's not you who attracted the bees and butterflies first." Bai Zhun snorted, scanned him up and down, and whistled softly.

The little oriole stumbled out of the room and landed on Huo Zhenye's hair with a "slap".

Huo Zhenye's neatly combed hair turned into a bird's nest when he went out in the morning.

"Let it follow you." See what it is that dares to be so wild.

Huo Zhenye plucked the oriole off and held it in his hand. The little thing seemed to know that he had received an order, and he spun it around in Huo Zhenye's palm with an air of vigor.

"Such a little thing... protect me?" Just as Huo Zhenye finished speaking, the oriole's head was pecked violently in his palm, and he shook off the oriole. The little thing flew around the room and landed on his head again.

Bai Zhun gave him a sideways look, heh, how dare you be picky?

"Although it is small, it has all the bones. It is more than enough to be your bodyguard."

All right, Huo Zhenye looked at the room full of paper things, it was better to carry a oriole than to carry a paper man, he waved to Bai Zhun: "Then I'm leaving."

Bai Zhun let out a "hmm", thinking about it but not very reconciled: "I didn't do it to protect you."

Huo Zhenye suppressed a smile: "Yes, Seventh Master Gao Yi, he must not bear to see me being bullied by others, so he sent a bird to protect me."

He was joking like this, Bai Zhun only replied with one word, "Get out".

Huo Qishao rolled out of the small building of Bai's house in a hurry, scratching the little head of the oriole as he walked: "You follow me today."

The oriole stretched its neck, and its eyes kept rolling. Huo Zhenye put it in the car and glanced at it from time to time.

The little squirrel lowered its head for a while and pecked wildly, and then raised its head and walked up two steps, with its wings rounding its body, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a living thing.

"Do you have a name?" Huo Zhenye chatted with Huang Que while holding the steering wheel, "Otherwise, call you Ah Chiu?"

Huang Que turned her head and ignored, Huo Zhenye smiled: "You are such a small thing, you still despise it? Ah Chirp!"

Bai Zhun buried his head in the goose down pillow, half of his attention was on the yellow bird, the more he listened, the more he frowned, why is this man so wordy?He can even chat with a titmouse!

Huo Zhenye took the oriole to the trap room, but the oriole refused to stay in his pocket, and stood on Huo Zhenye's shoulder, turning his head around.

Every policeman in the arresting room passed by, and he had to take a look.

Huo Zhenye didn't explain, anyway, he's a dude, so what's wrong with bringing a bird to work?

Before he sat down at the desk, the big head came over in a hurry: "Mr. Huo, three punks died in Hongkou yesterday."

Huo Zhenye felt strange: "Hongkou is a Japanese concession, what does the case there have to do with you?"

"Three died, and the remaining one was half crazy. Song Mingjie's small suit was found at the scene, with his name embroidered on it, which proved that Song Mingjie was kidnapped by them. They also kidnapped a child of a Japanese businessman two days ago. They died , but the child is gone.

"Go and see." Huo Zhenye drove to the scene.

The kidnappers found a warehouse specially for holding hostages. This warehouse was full of goods unloaded from the wharf, and they pushed boxes in and out without attracting attention at all.

It is very convenient to transport money and people.

The warehouse was in a mess, with blood all over the floor, and some red, white and white things dripping on the ground. Huo Zhenye just took a look and turned his head: "What are those?"

The big head took a closer look: "It seems to be human intestines."

Huo Zhenye endured the nausea: "Intestines?" What kind of murderer would pull out the intestines?

"Those three people died terribly, their stomachs were cut open, their hearts and livers were pulled out, and their intestines spilled all over the floor." Datou was not afraid at all, and introduced it to Huo Zhenye in detail.

"Stop it." Huo Zhenye felt that he could stop eating meat for a month.

The oriole that had been standing on his shoulder flew out with a "whoosh" and circled the crime scene. It stopped by a wooden box, tilting its head as if looking at something.

Huo Zhenye walked in, covering his nose. In addition to red and white, there were puddles of yellow things on the ground. The smell of blood and feces mixed together. Huo Zhenye felt that he didn't need to eat today.

He walked to the wooden box and stopped, and saw half a leather shoe print on the wooden box, and half a string of Italian letters on the print.Hand-made small leather shoes, judging by the size of the leather shoe prints, the owner of the shoes is no older than ten years old.

"Big head! When that Nisshang boy was tied up, did he wear clogs or leather shoes?"

This big guy really doesn't know: "Mr. Huo, why are you asking this?"

Huo Zhenye took out his camera and took pictures of the shoe prints.

Then the titmouse flew up again, and it flapped its wings and landed by the transom.

This is a warehouse. There are only windows near the top of the warehouse. Even adults can't catch the windows. Huo Zhenye moved some wooden boxes.

The big head saw him carrying the box, and ran over to help him: "Mr. Huo, what are you doing moving this?" Then he thought about the case of Su Manli, Liu Er climbed up with the rope in this way, maybe the murderer really came in through the window, if that was the case , How flat the murderer's body should be.

A person who can kill three adults so cruelly and scare one crazy, can't be a thin-skinned monkey.

Huo Zhenye stepped on the wooden box, glanced over and fixed his eyes.

There was a child's handprint on the windowsill.
