flame chasing light

The housekeeper accompanied Yu Ye and the others to continue, Xin Yan walked along the back door to the back, and saw that the person he was looking for was moving out a box from a wooden house.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the morning air was tinged with the coolness after the autumn rain. Xin Yan tightened his clothes tightly. The man didn't seem to feel cold. He was only wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, showing his strong arms. The light hit his face, his brows were deep.

I didn't take a closer look just now, but the eldest of the Gao family is born well, but his facial features don't look like Gao Yanliang at all, he must be more like his mother.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xin Yan felt a coolness between his brows.

Xin Yan stepped forward, "What is it?" After asking, he looked down at the box in his hand.

Gao Zhan looked at the box of things at the moment, let go of the aura of not getting close to strangers just now, turned his head and replied naturally: "The things that were put here before. Is Team Xin interested?" His tone seemed to be with friends. chat.

Oh, it seems that he already knows who I am, and Xin Yan also noticed that he calls this place here, not home. "Yes." Xin Yan stood beside him waiting for him to open it.

As soon as the box was opened, the dust rose, and Xin Yan saw that there were a lot of messy things inside, such as notebooks, leaves, stones, glass bottles, and an old PSP, which seemed to be his old things.

Gao Zhan picked up the PSP, wiped off a layer of dust on it, turned his head and asked, "Have you played this before?"

Xin Yan shook her head. When she was in school, she saw it with her classmates but never touched it.

"When I was young, I thought it was fun. I would play even when I was not sleeping and hiding under the quilt. If I was picked up by an adult, I would be punished."

"Is your father very strict?"

"Mom is stricter."

He casually rummaged through the things in the box. Xin Yan looked at them and found that they were all his old things. Then he heard him say, "I've wanted to get it for a long time, but I never had the chance. I didn't expect that I would have the chance to get it now." .” After finishing speaking, the man turned his head to look at him with a wry smile, his eyes even more desolate.

Now Xin Yan is sure that it was not an illusion just now, and the great sadness on his body seems to not only come from tonight.The boss of the Gao family is in his own home, but it sounds completely strange, like an outsider.Or people say that this world has always been the same. The trouble of the poor is often the lack of money, and the trouble of the rich is that they have to accept all the consequences of money.

"Have Team Xin met Ah Wan's mother?" Gao Zhan looked at him.

Ah Wan, his half-brother, Xin Yan let out a "hmm".

"She must have said a lot of what she wanted to say. I guess." He continued to fiddle with the PSP in his hand, but the corners of his lips moved imperceptibly, "The first one is that I have a bad relationship with Gao Yanliang."

Sure enough, everyone knew it well. Seeing that he pressed the PSP button and put it down again, Xin Yan turned his head and smiled at himself, but what he said was very serious, "Xin Detachment, don't you think people are stupid and very serious?" Impulsive, like an undeveloped animal."

Are we discussing biological issues now? "Humans are a kind of animals, and everyone has the habits of animals. There are more or less problems."

"Indeed, so, what do you want to know?"

In response to this question, is it to say that I am stupid or that I am impulsive, Xin Yan is not polite, and then asks: "Is your relationship with Gao Yanliang as she said?"

"There are such bloody things that everyone knows in the family. Do you think he and I can be more loving and filial." After finishing speaking, Gao Zhan's eyes fell on the big house not far away that was shrouded in morning light.

"It seems to be true."

"It's true that I don't have a good relationship with him. I don't know what else she said."

"I heard that Mr. Gao doesn't live at home."

"I left when I was 16, and I haven't been back much since then."

"Where is Mr. Gao tonight?" Seeing him raising his eyebrows, Xin Yan replied, "My own home." Even if it is a routine inquiry, the parties will have some resistance, which is normal, Xin Yan continued to ask: "Gao What do you think of Ah Wan's mother?"

"If Team Xin wants to ask anything, you may as well just say it."

"What do you think of her?" Xin Yan didn't evade at all, staring into his eyes and waiting for the answer.

At this moment, Yu Ye ran over from the house, "Boss, Xiao Ding and the others mentioned something."

Xin Yan looked at Gao Zhan, "Mr. Gao, please wait a moment, I will find you later."

"Let's make an appointment again. I'm just here to pick up things. Of course, if you need anything in the future, I'll be here on call." After finishing speaking, Gao Zhan took out a business card from his body and handed it over. He said "goodbye" and picked up the wooden box. Turn around and walk towards the gate.

Hey, why are you leaving in such a hurry?Xin Yan looked at the direction in which he was leaving, a thin light shone on him, and his straight back was slightly bent. After thinking for a while, Xin Yan felt that this back was extremely sparse. Forget it, how do you know that people are not sad? You should ask Yu Ye had already asked.

When Xin Yan went to watch, Xiao Ding, the technical detective, was holding up his camera to watch.

"Ding, what's the matter?"

"Team Xin, I found this shoe print before and thought it belonged to Gao Yanliang. I looked at it again just now, and I think this shoe print is a bit suspicious. It's single and incomplete. Look."

Xin Yan leaned over to take a closer look, the shoe print was only half, and there was an inconspicuous herringbone-like pattern in the center, which gradually diffused to the surroundings in an indistinct shape. It was the trace left by an adult male leather shoe. If you look carefully, There is still a little red in it.

"Ding, what color is that?"

"I don't know the ingredients, I have to go back and test it."

"What size is it?"

"42."

Xin Yan turned around and asked the housekeeper, "Uncle Qin, does anyone still come to this place?"

"Mr. Gao usually handles business in the north office. This study is his private space. Except for the driver and me who come here occasionally, basically no one comes."

"Uncle Qin, help me to see if this shoe print belongs to Gao Yanliang?"

The housekeeper stared at it for a long time and said that the size was Gao Yanliang's, but he really didn't know if he had such a pair of shoes at home.

"Is it possible for the nanny to know?"

"I asked her to ask."

Uncle Qin brought the nanny over after a while. The nanny looked at the picture for a long time and recalled a detail. She often cleaned Gao Yanliang's shoes.

gone?Xin Yan asked: "Do you know where you went?"

The nanny thought for a long time and shook her head.

"Uncle Qin, is there anything unusual about Gao Yanliang recently?"

"It's nothing, it's basically the same as before, dealing with documents during the day and going out sometimes, Mr. Gao's life is very regular."

Not giving up on any clues, Xin Yan wrote down the imprint of this pair of shoes.

Xin Yan thanked Uncle Qin and the nanny, and turned around to see the photo of Gao Yanliang on the shelf next to him. In the photo, the man was in a suit and leather shoes, staring at the room with serious eyes. You must know what happened, but it's a pity.

On the display shelf next to it is a row of trophies, including "Outstanding Entrepreneur of Hanchuan City", "Top Ten Outstanding Contributors to Society", "Leader in the Real Estate Industry", countless honors, the trophy chosen by the murderer was on this shelf before, What's the point of choosing that trophy randomly, and the shoes.Many questions can only be analyzed one by one when the clues are collected one by one.

Yu Ye and Xiao Yuanhang made the notes, and the butler, Uncle Qin, accompanied them out. Yu Ye greeted the butler while walking, "Uncle Qin, the garden at home is well maintained."

"Yes, Lao Xu's craftsmanship is good."

Old Xu?Xin Yan's first reaction was that he had asked the gardener's name just now, and it seemed that his surname was not Xu, so he couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, is the gardener a new one?"

"Oh, it's a new one." After the butler finished speaking, he immediately shut up, as if he felt that he had said something that shouldn't be said.

"What about the previous one?"

"The one before—" the butler hesitated to speak, hesitation appeared on his face for a moment, and he continued: "Old Xu, the gardener before, had something to do with his family, and he resigned a while ago."

It was just that little hesitation that made Xin Yan catch a little strangeness. Why did the butler hesitate when talking about the former gardener?Xin Yan didn't say anything at the moment, went out to give orders to Yu Ye, and turned around to check the previous gardener surnamed Xu.
