I like you more than yesterday, slightly lacking the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 12

The night is like water.

In front of the revolving gate of the resplendent "Wang's Hotel", a black BMW drove up, and the doorman who had been waiting hastily greeted him and opened the car door respectfully.

Wang Xiuyan, wearing sunglasses on a pointed face, with brown curly hair and red lips, stooped to get out of the car, stepped on a pair of [-]cm high heels, and walked towards the hotel lobby.

The lady at the front desk of the hotel looked at Wang Xiuyan with a smile, and asked, "Miss, hello, how many nights do you want to stay, and what kind of room do you want?"

Wang Xiuyan took off her sunglasses, glanced at the front desk, her charming red lips moved, and said, "Listen, I want a room with a high floor and a view of the river, an open-air balcony and a swimming pool. The shower in the room Supplies must not be scented, and there must be carbonated water in the refrigerator. Tomorrow morning at 08:30, I would like a cup of Americano, bacon, and a simple salad, delivered to my room. By the way, I want lukewarm croissants for bread .I will tell you if the room needs to be cleaned, and you are not allowed to come in without notifying you, let alone disturb me."

Hearing this, the lady at the front desk was stunned, because Wang Xiuyan spoke too fast, she took a pen and wrote it down in the notebook quickly but couldn't finish it, and finally asked tremblingly: "Excuse me, Miss Wang, can you repeat it slowly? "

Wang Xiuyan gave her a blank look: "Do you want me to say it again?"

"I'm sorry." The receptionist bit his lip and closed his mouth immediately.

Wang Xiuyan raised her eyebrows casually, put on her sunglasses, turned and left.

Seeing her disappearing back, the receptionist hurriedly complained to the companion beside him: "I've seen the arrogant one, but I've never seen such an arrogant one. Who do you think she is, she looks like two to five to eighty thousand..."

The companion pouted and said, "You still don't know who she is? The daughter of our boss..."

"Ah?!" The receptionist was taken aback, and said with a pale face, "Isn't the boss's daughter abroad?"

"I'm going back home..."

"Why?"

The companion lowered his voice and said, "I heard that she returned to China to save her ex-boyfriend."

"Really! Who dares to dump her?"

"I think she deserves it, who made her so stupid..."

The two were talking vigorously, but they didn't expect a "pop" in their ears, and they were dumbfounded when they looked up.

The person standing in front of him was Wang Xiuyan who came back to get the room card.Her face was extremely pale, she rolled her big eyes at the two of them, and then walked away.

Wang Xiuyan took out her mobile phone while walking and made a call: "Hey, turn on those two gossiping girls at the front desk."

……

On a night in early summer, the clear moon is hidden in the hazy plume clouds, a piece of very faint moonlight, like red dust blowing on the face, gently sweeping away the deep darkness that was locked in a courtyard.

When he walked out of the company, Bi Xia picked a piece of mint from the flower bed downstairs. The air in the middle of the night was slightly cool, and wherever he went, the tip of his nose was filled with the cool smell of mint.

Going around to find Ji Yi's car, but found that he was not in the car, Bi Xia called him in surprise, but he said that he was sitting on the chair next to the gate waiting for her.

Hearing this, Bi Xia froze for a moment, that position...it seems that he should see himself and Tong Yu come out together.Now that you've seen it all, why don't you stop yourself and make yourself go around in a big circle.

With black question marks all over his face, Bi Xia finally found him.

Ji Yi, whose back was facing Leng Yueqinghui, had a very cold face, seeing Bi Xia coming, he went up to her and walked in front of her without saying a word.

After getting into the car, Bixia somehow felt that Ji Yi's face was colder than usual, and he was still blowing out air-conditioning, and he didn't even bother to joke with him...

Originally when getting in the car, Bi Xia felt his terrifying aura. She decided to sit in the back seat silently, but Ji Yi said "sit in the front" and was forced to be helpless. Scalp and sit in front.

The car drove all the way to Xintiandi.After driving like this for a while, neither of them spoke, and the air was filled with silence.

After a long time, Bi Xia couldn't hold it anymore, so he coughed, was very panicked but pretended to be calm and joked to Ji Yi: "Did you touch the switch?"

Ji Yi's hand holding the steering wheel visibly paused, and he glanced at her coolly: "What switch?"

"Then why is your face so stinky..." Bi Xia looked at him with his forehead raised.

Ji Yi looked at Bi Xia calmly, raised his eyebrows, and answered the wrong question: "Do you know the man who came out with you just now?"

"Tong Yu?" Bi Xia thought for a while in his heart, and said solemnly, "No, just a colleague, he is the manager of the marketing department."

Ji Yi glanced at her from the side, and said sternly, "Oh."

As if thinking of something, Bi Xia asked, "By the way, who else is eating together?"

"A friend who grew up together." Ji Yi said.

At this time, a thrush flew slightly in the night sky.Through the shadow of the trees passing by the window, Bi Xia looked up at Ji Yi, and said without thinking, "Is he handsome or you?"

Ji Yi glanced at Bi Xia coolly again, with a look of being too lazy to talk to you, driving the car wholeheartedly, with a heroic and flawless side face.A Cartier watch was worn on his white wrist, which made his fingers even more slender.

The cool smell of mint spread in the car, Bi Xia couldn't hold back for a while, and said again: "I think you are the prettiest."

Ji Yi's hand holding the steering wheel visibly paused again.

The thrush in the night sky flew back slightly.Maybe it was because the night was so beautiful, Bi Xia's courage was soaring in an instant, he smirked a few times, and continued: "Really, even if you are wearing a big cotton jacket and wrapped like a pig, I still think you are shining."

Ji Yi's face turned pale and green for a while, he glanced lightly at Bi Xia, and raised his thin lips with a half-smile: "You're pretty too."

Hearing this, Bi Xia blushed shyly, touched her face in embarrassment, and laughed aloud, then heard Ji Yi say again: "But it looks better when you shut your mouth."

Bi Xia: "..."

When I arrived at the Japanese grocery store, I met Ji Yi's good friend, who turned out to be Liu An...

Bi Xia was sweating profusely.

Let me tell you earlier, since they are all acquaintances, she doesn't have to be nervous, although she doesn't know what she is nervous about.

Seeing Bi Xia, Liu An recognized her, was startled, raised the corner of her mouth and said softly to Ji Yi, "Yo, did you bring the little assistant?"

Ji Yi still had no expression on his face, squinting at him with cold eyes.

"Hello, Liu An." Sitting on the sofa beside the table, Bi Xia waved to Liu An with a smile.

"Little assistant, hello." Liu secretly smiled, "Don't be so polite, you can just call me Xiaoliu in private."

"Okay," Bi Xia nodded with a smile, "You can also call me Xia Xia."

Maybe he has let go of the rigor at work, the Liu An that Bi Xia saw today is different from the previous two times, very funny, completely a living treasure, compared with Ji Yi, it is completely another extreme.Bi Xia found that the two of them were completely complementary CPs, and sure enough, both men and women could not escape the law of hot and cold matching.

How funny is Liu An?Halfway through the meal, the two of them finished chatting about football and the like, and for some reason suddenly became academic, and it involved learning about success.

At that time, Ji Yi said awe-inspiringly: "Wisdom and courage are the most important things that people rely on."

The serious Liu An suddenly changed the subject, and said with a playful smile, "Isn't it air and water?"

Ji Yi: "..."

Bi Xia looked at Ji Yi's face that was instantly frozen as if covered by white snow, and couldn't help but smile.

Before, she couldn't figure out how Ji Yi, who was so cold and cold, would occasionally act like a joker. The contrast was so big. It turned out that there was a joker like Liu An beside him!Is this contagious?

At this time, Liu An saw that Bi Xia was smiling so happily, and teased with a half-smile, "Ji Yi, I think Xia Xia has a pretty good personality, and she's honest, you see she eats so much, she can't even put it on." ,I like!"

Bi Xia just took a sip of water, choked it in his throat, spit it all out, looked at Liu An with a smile, and said, "Yes, Xiao Liu, you are so good at praising people, why don't you go to Qingqing Grassland to catch little sheep?" ?”

"Hahahaha..." Liu An almost laughed out loud.

Ji Yi took a cup of tea on the table, used the tea lid to shake the floating leaves on the water, glanced at the two of them coldly, his eyebrows moved slightly, and said to Liu An lightly: "How about the case?"

Liu An was taken aback, his cynical face instantly turned into a heavy rain, and he frowned and said, "The murderer is too smart, except for the tattoo 'I' that you found on the back of the deceased, there is no evidence left, and there is no way to investigate. "

"When did your efficiency become so low that you haven't found a single suspect?" Ji Yi said slowly.

Liu An sighed, and said: "Based on the thousands of clues we collected, we concluded that the murderer should be a man between 30 and 40 years old and about 175cm tall. Then we strictly investigated everyone who might be related to the case. , Even children are not easily let go, but there is still no progress."

"Have you checked the family members and friends of the deceased?" Ji Yi asked while turning over the tea lid in his hand.

"I've checked everything, and there is no suspect among family members and friends." Liu An took a sip of beer from his glass and said slightly annoyed, "It's just that according to the deceased Chen Bei's good friend, she died. He just broke up with his boyfriend."

Bi Xia rolled his eyes, interjected and asked, "Could it be related to his boyfriend?"

Liu An shook his head and said: "We checked her boyfriend, he is also an ordinary college student, his hometown is in the countryside, he was finally admitted to a key university, he usually studies very hard, and his teachers and classmates gave him good evaluations. He looks very honest, a person like this would not even dare to kill a mouse, let alone kill someone."

"That's not necessarily the case. A person with a dignified appearance may also be a lunatic with abnormal mentality. You never know what the person in front of you is thinking." A very honest person, in fact, he is super abnormal.”

"It seems that you understand it too?" Liu An smiled a little at the end of his eyes.

Bi Xia quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no...I'm talking nonsense, I usually like to watch American dramas, and that's how they act in it."

Ji Yiding, who was on the side, looked at her, sneered, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Life is not a TV series."

"That being said, many TV dramas are adapted from reality..." Bi Xia Chaoji also rolled his eyes, then turned to look at Liu An, "Is that right, Xiao Liu?"

Liu An squinted his eyes and saw Ji Yi's expressionless face, which was a little whiter than before, looked at the two of them with interest, and echoed Bi Xia with a smile: "Yes, it makes sense, I will take your advice and investigate her boyfriend carefully."

Bi Xia smiled, and asked again: "Then why did they break up?"

Liu An said: "The boy said that Chen Bei was too good to be good enough for her, and the two of them got tired of talking for half a year, so they broke up amicably."

Hearing this, Bi Xia nodded thoughtfully.

The sky was getting darker, and the moonlight slanted in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, covering Ji Yi's pale face. Three sightings. First, there was a car parked at the gate of the university with the ignition on; second, a girl in her 20s who was wearing a blue dress found the body; third, a woman wearing a hat The cleaner wandered around the lake for a while. But these three pieces of information were ruled out, and you still haven't been able to find any strong suspects."

"That's right, although these three pieces of information are very consistent with the deceased in terms of time and place, they are all just coincidences." Liu An said thoughtfully.

Ji Yi was still as cold as frost, but his thin lips moved: "If I were you, I would start with the tattoos on the corpse and the cross in the abdomen."

Liu An was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered something and said dumbfounded: "I suddenly remembered, it seemed that at the scene of the crime of the first deceased, Li Yan... In the notebook in her backpack, I saw a string of characters, very similar to Morse code. !"

Hearing this, Bi Xia was taken aback, and asked excitedly, "What character?"

"I didn't pay much attention at the time. I just thought she drew a sketch in the notebook, and it was pretty good, so I took a picture." Liu An quickly took out his phone, quickly dug out the picture, and handed it to Ji Yi. .

Ji Yiyun took the phone lightly, and when he saw the painting, his eyes moved slightly.

I saw a landscape sketch on the screen of the mobile phone, with a small string of characters left in the lower right corner, which looked like "-··". If you didn't look carefully, you might think it was a charcoal mark.

"Horizontal..." Liu An looked at Ji Yi and asked solemnly, "What does this mean?"

Ji Yi returned the phone to Liu An, with his expression still calm, and said, "This string of characters means 'D' in English in Morse code."

Liu An and Bi Xia on the side were both taken aback, lost in thought.

After a long time, Bi Xia asked in surprise: "This Morse code, could it be... left by the murderer?"

"Very likely," Liu An said palely, "an 'I', a 'D', ID? What message did the murderer want to convey?"

"I don't know." Ji Yi's eyes remained calm, and he only frowned, "I suggest that you should hand over such a difficult case to the Serious Crime Squad."

"How can this be done?!" The words made Liu An gasp, he chuckled dryly, and Chao Jiyi said with a playful smile, "You know my dad has never looked me in the eye, this time I have to catch the murderer It proves that I can be the vice-captain, and I also have two brushes." Liu An's father is the chief of the police station, and as the only son of the family, Liu An was spoiled and raised by her mother since childhood. When the rain comes, he develops a domineering personality. When he was studying, he often caused troubles at home by fighting, picking up girls, and so on.Therefore, in his father's heart, Liu An has always existed as an image of a troublemaker. Even though he has faded from the middle school period when he was young and has become the vice captain of the criminal police by his own efforts, his father still does not agree. I recognize him too much.

Liu An put his arms around Ji Yi's shoulders, sighed, and said with a smile: "I said brother, you have to help me this time no matter what, I want you to help me catch the murderer, and I will go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​flames, my buddy." No excuses, okay?"

Ji Yi looked at him coldly, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he said coldly: "No."

In an instant, Liu An's face shattered like a piece of glass that fell on the ground, and she cried out wanting to break up with Ji Yi without tears.

Bi Xia, who was eating meat next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.It seems that those who have the courage to stay next to Ji Yi have an invincible, strong heart that is not afraid of abuse...

The night is getting darker and denser, the luxuriant branches of ancient trees cover the low moon in the night sky, and dark clouds are still shrouded around, the moonlight is like a thin smoky veil, sprinkled between the sky and the earth.

Drink as much as possible, and eat enough.

Bi Xia belongs to the type who will talk more after drinking a little wine. At this time, Liu An and Liu An have already drunk too much, and the two of them have no intention of talking about food. ...

For example, Liu An said: "I ask you how much you can worry about it, roasting a fat beef with cumin on an iron plate."

Bi Xia went on to say: "I'll be old after drinking all my life, how about a roast duck?"

For example, Liu An said again: "Suddenly like a spring breeze overnight, big chicken steaks grilled with beer."

Bi Xia went on to say: "Two orioles sing green willows, beat an egret with shochu."

Finally, the two co-authored a sentence: "When the sun sets, the heartbroken man is picking his teeth."

Ji Yi on the side looked at the two of them coldly, as if looking at two mentally handicapped people.

……

At this moment, suddenly a beautiful woman walked over without saying a word, pulled out the chair, and sat directly beside Liu An.

Bi Xia thought she had gone to the wrong table, but Ji Yi and Liu An's complexions suddenly turned livid, and they looked at the girl opposite them in surprise and doubt.

With long legs and white skin, she looks a bit like the star Ni Ni, and has a particularly good figure, which instantly made Bi Xia feel a little embarrassed.

She couldn't figure out what was going on, so she looked at Liu An with a half-smile and asked, "Xiao Liu, is this your girlfriend?"

Liu An laughed dryly, opened his mouth as if he was about to say no.
