It is autumn, a bright jade disk hangs in the sky, and the sweet fragrance of osmanthus fills the air.
Tom Hanks was a dog that was almost intelligent and knew how to read people's expressions. When the two were walking in silence, he ran around like a happy dog. When they were in a place with people, Su Qingyuan was afraid that Tom Hanks would overdo it, so she pulled the dog leash.
The old dog walked at a steady pace, not looking old at all, but it was too excited. Luo Zhixing was afraid that Su Qingyuan couldn't hold it, so he took over leading the dog.
"Your arms and legs are so small, if you accidentally touch them, won't they be bruised for days? Besides, as assistants, we have to be considerate."
Su Qingyuan also felt that he could no longer hold back, so he naturally gave it to Luo Zhixing. He thought that since he had given Luo Zhixing such a high salary, he couldn't let him have too much leisure.
Going forward is the wetland park. Young lovers are shyly talking to each other under the street lights. The dim light makes people want to hold each other's hands. Luo Zhixing is holding the puppy and secretly looking at Su Qingyuan next to him. The urge to hold hands is infinitely magnified in the wet night. The noisy streets are quiet in my heart. I can even hear the sound of swallowing my saliva.
The impulse went down the throat, passed through the heart, and brought waves of palpitations.
Luo Zhixing moved his fingertips and leaned to the side.
"Ah, Luo Zhixing, do you have money?" Su Qingyuan suddenly turned around and asked him. She was wearing a soft shirt and was wrapped in orange lights, like the final destination of a tired traveler.
Luo Zhixing held the dog with one hand and took out his wallet with the other hand and gave it to him: "What do you want to buy?"
"Osmanthus sugar roasted chestnuts, in season." Su Qingyuan took the money and happily went to buy roasted chestnuts. "I was in a hurry to leave just now and didn't bring any money. I'll give it to you later."
Luo Zhixing looked at his back and held the dog leash tightly, as if he was holding a big-headed son and waiting for his wife to come back. He looked down at Tom Hanks and reached out to touch the dog's head: "Dog son, do you think we look like a pair of father and son?"
Tom Hanks: "Woof!"
Luo Zhixing continued to rub the dog's head, looking at Su Qingyuan's back and laughing secretly: "You said your mother is quite small, how can she eat so much? Hey, you don't know when I ask you, wait until I strip your mother naked and take a good look to see where all these things go."
The habit of taking candid photos that he developed in his early years is still preserved. Luo Zhixing took out his mobile phone and took several photos of Su Qingyuan, who was greedy for a bite of osmanthus fried chestnuts in the light world. After taking the photos, he took them out and took a look, thinking that his "wife" was also very beautiful today.
However, when he looked carefully at the picture, he found a familiar yet strange shadow beside Su Qingyuan.
"Boss, give me four pounds of sweet-scented osmanthus fried chestnuts." Su Qingyuan was about to pay the boss when she suddenly heard a deep voice from the side: "One pound of fried chestnuts."
Su Qingyuan secretly looked at him, about two or three people away, and the man's outline was softened by the light.
On his face, which was considered tough, there was a scar running down from his eyebrow. Although he didn't look fierce, he looked a little cold and hard. He was quite young, wearing a hooded coat, and he looked like he couldn't stand the light.
At the same time, Tom Hanks, who was usually gentle, suddenly started barking at this person.
“Woof woof woof!!!”
Luo Zhixing could hardly hold Tom Hanks back: "Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you? The school beauty always praises you for being well behaved, why are you suddenly so mean to others? Look, you've even scared the pretty girl next to you!"
The girl who passed by Luo Zhixing was frightened and jumped several meters away, fearing that she would be bitten by the mad Tom Hanks.
"Campus beauty, come back soon! Your son misses you!" Luo Zhixing shouted shamelessly at Su Qingyuan, while his eyes sank and his thin lips pressed down on his cold face - he looked playful and naughty.
Seeing that someone was urging him, the boss quickly gave him Su Qingyuan's chestnuts: "Here, your four pounds."
Turning to the young man in the hoodie, he said, "Wait a moment. I've already given you four pounds. Yours needs to be fried in the next pot."
“……” Lian Yimao responded with silence, indicating that he was ok.
The shop owner scooped a spoonful of osmanthus honey into the boiler, competing with the natural osmanthus fragrance to attract more customers. The autumn breeze was refreshing, and everyone wanted to eat a bite of chestnuts just out of the pot. More people gathered around Lian Yimao. He was a little uncomfortable with the crowd and hid in a dimly lit place next to him.
Su Qingyuan took the chestnuts and went back to Luo Zhixing. As soon as she approached, Luo Zhixing pulled her into the dark and grabbed her hand tightly. Su Qingyuan looked up and met Luo Zhixing's rare serious eyes. Luo Zhixing's palm was very hot, and when he closed his palm little by little, Su Qingyuan was a little panicked.
Luo Zhixing's eyes were sharp, and his expression could not be seen in the dark, only a spark of fire in his pupils.
"Zhan Qiu?"
He spoke in a low voice.
Su Qingyuan nodded.
That's right, he didn't expect to see Zhan Qiu on the road. Before, at Ruan's house, Tom Hanks was killed by Bai Yunshu because Tom Hanks had the habit of recognizing people and would roar when he saw Zhan Qiu. Fortunately, Luo Zhixing stopped Tom Hanks just now, and Zhan Qiu didn't react. There were several people between them, and the light was dim, so it was estimated that the other party didn't notice him.
"Have you called the police? He has a murder case." Su Qingyuan was a little nervous. Zhan Qiu was the most special one among Bai Yunshu's lovers. He and Bai Yunshu were childhood sweethearts, but because of Bai Yunshu, he was accused of a murder and had to hide from him ever since. But he was lucky. When he was guarding Bai Yunshu from behind, he was spotted by the M underground organization and became a professional killer. Behind this story, Bai Yunshu used love to influence Zhan Qiu, and Zhan Qiu also left the organization and became the boss of Bai Yunshu's lovers.
But now Su Qingyuan did not dare to fight Zhan Qiu alone. As a desperate criminal, Zhan Qiu really dared to fight to the death. He dared to kill Su Taiqiang alone before, which showed that he had no fear. Su Qingyuan did not want to sacrifice her life for him.
And he is not alone now, Luo Zhixing is by his side, the Luo Zhixing who once died for him, and the Luo Zhixing who moved him.
"Don't worry. I've already reported the case, and I've taken photos and facial features." Luo Zhixing is a private detective after all, and he is very meticulous in his work. Su Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly shook his hand back. She was a little drunk at first, but after being stimulated by Zhan Qiu's matter, she suddenly sobered up completely.
Luo Zhixing was surprised that Su Qingyuan returned his handshake. His eyes gradually widened. Then he felt Su Qingyuan leaning on his shoulder and exhaled softly: "Don't do anything stupid."
"What stupid thing could I do?" Luo Zhixing couldn't figure it out.
What does he mean? Does he mean to count the photos every day and smile like a pervert at the several GB of photos? Or does he mean to play his voice on repeat?
Luo Zhixing was terrified for a moment, fearing that his perverted behavior would be seen as "weird" or "stupid" by Su Qingyuan. But on the other hand, because of Su Qingyuan's brief handshake, he felt a little happy. Although he knew it was impossible, there was definitely a chance for the two of them, and he even thought, "Does he like me too?"
As he thought about it, the dog leash in his hand loosened. When Tom Hanks saw that he was free again, he looked at the enemy in front of him and rushed over with his teeth bared!
"Not good!" Luo Zhixing shouted.
"Oh, whose dog ran away!!"
"The dog ran away!! The dog ran away!!"
The people around him started to make a lot of noise, like bamboo shoots popping up one after another. Zhan Qiu was carrying chestnuts and was about to go home when he suddenly saw a dog rushing towards him. In his brief impression, he couldn't remember who the dog was, but his intuition told him that something was wrong. Zhan Qiu started running with the chestnuts in his hand, and the sound of the police car added interest to the quiet wetland park.
Zhan Qiu's mind flashed through countless tears behind bars, and he almost ran away. Tom Hanks followed closely behind him. An old dog who usually only knew how to act like a spoiled child suddenly became extremely brave. Even Su Qingyuan didn't know where he got the courage from.
"Tom Hanks!" Su Qingyuan hesitated for a moment and followed him. She felt very panicked, as if she was going to lose it.
Luo Zhixing calmed Su Qingyuan down: "Don't worry, let's keep a distance. I'll leave the location for the police so they can track us."
The two followed the direction where Tom Hanks disappeared. Behind the hustle and bustle of the city, there were alleys full of flies, various small roads intertwined, and it was rare to see a crooked light on a road. Luo Zhixing picked up a steel rod from the ground and protected Su Qingyuan behind him.
Su Qingyuan felt a little scared, but also felt some guilt from past and present lives.
Every time, he stood in front of me.
Su Qingyuan thought so.
At this moment, the barking of the dog disappeared. Su Qingyuan was frightened, and suddenly heard a muffled groan, followed by a clang, and something huge fell to the ground!
In the silence of the night, the sound of the falling object was very clear. Soon, someone poked his head out from upstairs and yelled, "Who is it? Why are you throwing away garbage so late at night?"
Then someone shone a flashlight down and asked, "Whose garbage bag is this?"
Although they said this, no one went down to take a look.
A drop of sweat broke out on Su Qingyuan's forehead, and he unconsciously reached out to grab the corner of Luo Zhixing's clothes. His trembling and shrinking were all seen by Luo Zhixing. Luo Zhixing took the other's hand and crossed their fingers together, which gave Su Qingyuan full peace of mind.
"Let's go. We have to go up and see if it's Tom Hanks." Luo Zhixing's words made Su Qingyuan feel uncomfortable. He remembered that in his previous life, because he was too busy, he couldn't even see Tom Hanks for the last time. He only learned of his death over the phone.
As a dog that was already over ten years old, its death seemed certain. Even when he was bored, he would think about Tom Hanks' death - maybe he suddenly fell ill and died. But even so, he was not prepared to lose it. Companionship is a terrible thing, like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time you react, it's too late.
Luo Zhixing pinched his fingertips. In addition to attraction, people also have a similar aura when they get along with each other. For example, Su Qingyuan has a refreshing and calm temperament, while Luo Zhixing has a calm and secure aura without the aura of sloppiness. At least now, after Su Qingyuan felt the calm and reliable aura of Luo Zhixing, his surging blood calmed down for a moment, and he calmed down as well.
"There was indeed a sound of something heavy falling to the ground, but this alone cannot be used to determine that it was Tom Hanks."
