Wen Qing's pupils trembled. Can you see that?
Is he that obvious?
Suddenly, 001's cold voice rang in his mind: [No.]
Wen Qing was slightly startled. He never expected 001 to speak at this time.
After spending some time together, he already knew that 001 would hardly speak on his own initiative, and would only answer reluctantly when he asked.
Many times he wouldn't even answer his questions.
Did he misunderstand that I was asking him now?
Wen Qing leaned against the wall, dazed.
001 was silent for a moment, and reminded again: [Your performance is not obvious. ]
Wen Qing exclaimed in his heart: [That's because Uncle Xia is so awesome. ]
He covered it up so well that it could still be seen.
001: [……]
When talking to the system, Wen Qing's eyes were out of focus, which was different from the shocked look just now.
Seeing this, Xia Yansi frowned slightly.
He lowered his eyes, stared into Wen Qing's eyes, and slowly said: "So..."
A voice rang in his ears, and Wen Qing came back to his senses and met Xia Yansi's dark eyes.
When Wen Qing's attention was focused on him again, Xia Yansi continued, "You dreamed of Ji Yu."
This time it is not a question, but a statement.
Wen Qing opened his mouth and stammered, "No, no."
"Really not."
He had no idea who he was dreaming about.
He wasn't even sure if he was dreaming.
Wen Qing couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
But he hoped it was just a dream.
Xia Yansi seemed to be sure that he had dreamed of someone. After Wen Qing denied it, he said, "If it wasn't Ji Yu... was it the person who looked very similar to Ji Yu?"
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment. He had completely thought of Ji Yu.
Because there is no way Ji Yu could be here.
But after hearing what Xia Yansi said, he inevitably began to wonder, was he having nightmares in broad daylight because he was still subconsciously afraid of Ji Yu?
Glancing at his expression, Xia Yansi asked softly, "Does that person like you?"
Wen Qing blurted out: "Impossible."
Xia Yansi looked at him quietly, waiting for his explanation.
Wen Qing didn't want to talk anymore.
But he was still cornered by Xia Yansi, and the other party had no intention of letting him leave.
Wen Qing pursed her lips and mustered up the courage to say, "Uncle Xia, I don't want to talk about this."
"C-Can I go now?"
Xia Yansi still stood in front of him, talking to himself: "You are afraid of him and avoid talking about him."
"Although I don't know what he did, it has left you with a big psychological trauma."
"You think he doesn't like you, and he... bullied you, right?"
Wen Qing frowned. Even though he didn't say anything, Xia Yansi could still guess what had happened from his few words and expression.
In front of Xia Yansi and Ji Yu, he had a feeling that he had nowhere to hide, as if he was completely exposed in front of them, and they saw through everything.
In fact, he had similar feelings in front of Xing Ze, but not as strong as when facing Xia Yansi and Ji Yu.
Wen Qing lowered her head and heard Xia Yansi say again: "Have you ever thought that maybe that is also a kind of love?"
“Everyone expresses love differently.”
"And you..." Xia Yan paused, lowered his eyes to look at Wen Qing's red lips and white teeth, his eyes slightly dazed, and said slowly, "You have a temperament that makes people want to tease you."
The same goes for him.
When he saw Wen Qing, the evil thoughts and desires in his heart came out uncontrollably.
Xia Yansi lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance from Wen Qing's hair.
Perhaps because he had been here for so long, Wen Qing also had a faint minty scent on his body.
His taste, their taste.
Xia Yansi flexed his fingers and restrainedly flicked the slightly curled hair beside Wen Qing's ear: "People who like you will inevitably want to bully you."
Wen Qing raised his eyes, his eyes were clear and transparent: "That's not love."
Xia Yansi looked at him with a little confusion on his face: "What is that?"
Wen Qing pulled the corner of his mouth, expressionless: "That's a disease."
He knew in elementary school that he shouldn't bully others.
Xia Yansi was slightly startled, then chuckled.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was a smile in his eyes, which was completely different from his usual cold appearance.
It seemed to be a little more normal, but Wen Qing felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart.
It was like seeing a robot showing a human-like smile, but with a hint of weirdness and horror.
Wen Qing subconsciously stepped back, but there was a wall behind him.
He had no way to retreat, and instead the other party noticed his little move.
Xia Yansi looked at him and said, "Wen Qing."
“You’re cute.”
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the kitchen door.
"Dad, I'm so hungry."
It’s Ji Sheng’s voice.
"Isn't dinner ready yet?"
"It's almost done." Xia Yansi responded, glanced at Wen Qing, turned around and started cooking.
Wen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the kitchen door.
Ji Sheng was standing outside the door. He looked Wen Qing up and down and asked with a smile, "What was brother talking about with Xiaoba just now?"
Wen Qing shook his head: "Nothing."
"I'm still a little bit—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Sheng suddenly grabbed his arm and walked towards the sofa: "Brother, I'm so hungry."
"Are you hungry?"
"Let's eat an apple first, or do you want an orange? Let me see if there are any other fruits..."
Ji Sheng kept talking, not giving Wen Qing any chance to speak.
It was not until the two of them sat down and Ji Sheng started to peel an apple that Wen Qing found an opportunity to say to Ji Sheng and Ji Yu: "I, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I need to go upstairs."
"What's the matter?" Ji Sheng tilted his head to look at him and blinked. "I just remembered it now. It shouldn't be something important."
"Brother, please wait until you finish the apple I peeled before you leave. I want to eat some, but it would be a waste if I can't finish it."
Wen Qing was not good at saying no, and it was even more difficult for him to say no to someone like Ji Sheng who was outgoing, cheerful and could act like a spoiled child.
It shouldn't be a big deal to eat an apple before leaving, right?
Wen Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Seeing that he agreed, Ji Sheng curled his lips and started peeling the apple.
The way he peeled an apple was almost exactly the same as Ji Yu's. He also used a small knife and did not peel off an extra layer of flesh. Instead, he peeled a strip of evenly thick skin, which showed that he had superb knife skills.
Suddenly, Wen Qing's phone vibrated and a loud WeChat notification sound came out.
Wen Qing’s first reaction was to go see Ji Sheng, a little worried that he had also cut his hand because of him.
However, Ji Sheng's hands were very steady and were not affected by the prompt sound at all.
Ji Sheng even tilted his head to look at Wen Qing, and asked as he cut, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Wen Qing lowered his head and opened WeChat. It was a message from Xing Ze.
Xing Ze: [Are you still at your uncle's house? Have you eaten yet? ]
Wen Qing: [Yes, I haven’t eaten yet. ]
Ji Sheng asked again: "Is it my cousin?"
Wen Qing responded and continued to send messages to Xing Ze: [Are you coming back soon? ]
Xing Ze: [It will probably take a while, things haven’t been dealt with yet.]
Xing Ze: [No need to wait for me to eat.]
After sending the message, Xing Ze put away his phone, looked up at Xiao Chen who rushed in anxiously, and asked, "Have you found out?"
Xiao Chen nodded: "I found out. A few days ago, Vancouver Medical University held a seminar abroad. Yang Fan was one of the participants. The seminar seemed to be quite strict. They were in meetings from morning to night, and mobile phones were not allowed during the meeting."
"This matches the days when the harassing text messages disappeared."
Xing Ze frowned and asked again: "Where is the hospital?"
Xiao Chen continued, "As for the hospital, we checked the records and surveillance. He was not there to see a doctor, but to visit a patient. A colleague fell ill while he was at the seminar."
"This seems quite reasonable, right? However, the surveillance records show that after he went to the inpatient department, he did not leave directly, but went to the building of the physical examination center."
"Execution team, it feels like this is intentional."
Xing Ze frowned: "He did it on purpose."
"But this can't be used as evidence. Is there any surveillance video recording that he has been following Wen Qing?"
"No," Xiao Chen shook his head, "There are only records of them bumping into each other suddenly, like a chance encounter."
Xing Ze lit a cigarette and frowned, "Did you contact anyone from Yang Fan's ex-wife?"
"No," Xiao Chen sighed and told him, "His ex-wife was a great photographer. She often went to remote areas or places like forests and mountains where the signal was poor, so we often couldn't contact her."
"Her friend also said that she was going to Africa to take photos and might have already left the country."
Xing Ze blew out a smoke ring and pursed his lips: "Where are her parents?"
"Her parents don't know where she went, and they can't contact her. Her relatives and friends seem to be accustomed to this kind of thing, saying that she often disappears for a while and then reappears."
Xing Ze frowned: "Check her entry and exit records and see where she was last seen."
Xiao Chen nodded and asked curiously, "Team Xing, what are you doubting?"
Xing Ze glanced at him and said, "I'm wondering if Yao Qian is the first victim."
"Have you found out what the psychological problems are for Yang Fan?"
"No," Xiao Chen sighed, "Your uncle's clinic has signed a confidentiality agreement with every patient. We have to wait for approval."
Xing Ze: "How long will it take?"
Xiao Chen scratched his head: "I don't know either. I'll go and ask again."
Xing Ze nodded, took out his cell phone and saw Wen Qing’s message.
Wen Qing: [Why don’t I go home first. ]
Wen Qing: [Nothing will happen in broad daylight.]
Xing Ze narrowed his eyes, put out his cigarette, and typed: [What happened? ]
Wen Qing was being fed apples by Ji Sheng and was unable to spare his hands for his phone.
He finished one piece and was about to reach for his phone when Ji Sheng handed him two more pieces.
Wen Qing thanked him and lowered his eyes to look at the rabbit apple on the fork.
It was exactly the same as the one Xia Yansi had made before, an apple in the shape of a little rabbit.
Wen Qing glanced at the fruit plate. Every apple was exactly the same in size and thickness.
He couldn't help but sneak a peek at Ji Sheng beside him.
Ji Sheng's facial features are somewhat similar to Xia Yansi's, and his profile is very similar to Ji Yu, as if they were their biological son.
Wen bit the apple gently and suddenly realized something.
Xia Yansi and Ji Yu...are actually quite similar.
Although the three of them have different personalities, they are like one person in many ways.
After finishing the last piece of apple, Wen Qing put down his fork and was about to say again that he wanted to go home.
Still, the phone vibrated again.
But this time it was not a WeChat notification tone, but a text message notification tone.
Wen Qing originally didn't intend to pay attention and wanted to speak first.
But Ji Sheng spoke first: "Brother, is it your cousin who is looking for you?"
"Your message has been ringing for quite a while."
If Xing Ze wants to send WeChat...
Thinking about it, Wen Qing picked up his phone and took a look.
At the top of the screen was a text message from an unknown number.
【Why aren’t you at home? 】
