  Chapter 71

  Five years later, on the subway.

   Xiaopang was drooling and looked at his sister sitting opposite, she was licking a Big Big Wolf lollipop in one hand, and sending text messages with her mobile phone in the other. Every time after sending, the cell phone of the uncle next to me will ring, and when the uncle finishes replying to the text message, my sister's cell phone will ring again.

   "Mom, the sister and uncle on the opposite side are very strange..." He tugged on the clothes of the woman next to him, and finally pulled her attention away from the handsome uncle on the other side.

   "Shh, keep your voice down, children, don't talk too much, I've never seen my father and mother quarreling, and it's like this when I have to bathe and cook for you."

   "Oh, it turned out to be a fight. Mom, I want to eat lollipops too."

   "Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you soon."

  The subway stopped, and the uncle and sister on the opposite side went down. Xiaopang raised his head and looked at the elder sister. She has big eyes, long hair and long eyelashes. She is so beautiful. He will marry such a beautiful bride when he grows up.

  Suddenly found something extra in his pocket.

   "Mom, my sister gave me a Pleasant Goat!"

   "Nonsense, my sister walked from there, it's still so far away from you."

"it is true…"

  Xiao Pang turned around, lay on the glass and watched his sister follow his uncle to the steps, and suddenly turned his head to make a face at him, and couldn't help but smile happily.

   "Professor Shen, Xiao Si, you are here." Xiao Tang greeted them warmly. In the past few years, he has been promoted to captain. Lin Qiang was also promoted to the General Bureau, but refused to stay in the team to solve the case because his personality was not suitable for office work.

"This is already the third accident on this road this month. The car was lost, and the owner's internal organs were emptied and thrown in a ditch not far away. The first two were taxis, and this one is ordinary. A private Buick, who lives in the suburbs, passed by late after work. Judging from the surrounding traces, it is the same as the previous two crimes. They first set up obstacles in the middle of the road. The owner had to get out of the car to move, and then They were attacked and their car was robbed. The reason why I invite you here is because the internal organs of those people were eaten instead of being dug out, and the wounds were not cut by knives but torn by claws. It is also related to people. Another strange thing is that there have been many cases of vehicle loss in Taoyuan City recently, some of which were parked in garages, parking lots or roadsides, and some were stolen directly.”

  Shen Mo looked at the corpse, and it was indeed the traces left by non-humans, and non-humans with low intelligence did not know how to destroy corpses at all.

He stood up and took off his gloves: "If these non-human targets are just food, they can find remote places to attack humans without spending so much effort on setting up obstacles on the road. So the main purpose should be vehicles, hurting people Just by the way... for supper."

  Jiang Xiaosi nodded: "I'll make a call and ask."

   After a while, he hung up the phone with a clear expression on his face.

   "It turns out that the dark world has been holding drag racing competitions recently, and the prizes are very generous. If you have money, you can buy the car yourself. If you don't have money, you can steal it. If you want to buy it again, you can only grab it, or grab it and sell it."

  Xiao Tang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and repeated Jiang Xiaosi's original words to Shen Mo again, which made the new team members next to him a little confused.

  Lin Qiang frowned and said, "This kind of thing is more difficult to deal with."

   After all, if there is a source, if these people are solved, another group of people will come out to commit crimes.

"It's fine to grab a car if you're not a human being. There's no need to hurt people. I guess they've tasted it and become addicted, and they can't stop. These people must be caught, otherwise there will be more victims." Shen Mo turned and looked Xiao Tang, "Get out of the car, Jiang Xiaosi and I will lead them out tonight."

  Leaving the scene of the accident, Shen Mo's text message rang.

  —Shen Mo, Dad asked us to go back to Tuoguxiang for dinner this afternoon.

-good.

   Shen Mo replied casually.

Although he can see Jiang Xiaosi as long as he nods, but if he is outside, he always feels strange talking and acting alone in the air, and he can't confirm whether Jiang Xiaosi has seen it. Instead, he prefers to use text messages. It is faster and more convenient than writing with a pen. Anyway, he has gotten used to it over the years, from developing a phobia to being able to type quickly with his eyes closed.

  If Jiang Xiaosi called him, he would be able to get through the phone, but he couldn't hear the voice. At the beginning, he couldn't even hear Jiang Xiaosi's text message, but recently he could hear it. This gave them a glimmer of hope in their original despair. Maybe one day, he can see her too.

  —It’s almost time for dinner, shall we take a taxi or take the subway?

  —Take a taxi.

  Shen Mo adjusted the ringtone and vibration of the phone, always carrying three replacement batteries with him. He could no longer see Jiang Xiaosi, and he couldn't miss any of her words.

  Jiang Xiaosi stuck out his tongue at Shen Mo's expressionless face, hailed a taxi, and sat in the passenger seat.

   "Master, go to Bar Street."

  Shen Mo sat in the back, watching the driver talking to himself, talking all over the world, but the voice of the other person was completely inaudible. Turning his head, looking at the scenery outside the window, a piece of verdant green, swept back quickly, as if traveling in time. Rolling down the car window, the cool wind blows his hair, taking away a little tiredness.

   "Dad, we're back!" Jiang Xiaosi rushed into Tuoguxiang excitedly. No matter how busy Shen Mo is these years, he will accompany her back at least once a week.

  Jiang Liu sticks out his head, his appearance has not changed at all, but Jiang Xiaosi has grown up. When I first met Shen Mo, she was fourteen, and Shen Mo was twenty-nine. She was sixteen when he drank the Tuoguxiang, and now he is twenty-one. He is much taller and has long hair, but he is still a head short of Shen Mo. Shen Mo is also thirty-six years old, more mature and introverted than before, less serious and a lot more indifferent.

  Shen Mo went to Tuo Guxiang to go to the warehouse habitually to look at the newly received antique jade wares, while Jiang Xiaosi went into the kitchen to help Jiang Liu.

   "Dad, how is the business in the shop recently? Why isn't Sister Koudan here today?" Because Jiang Xiaosi couldn't stay in Tuoguxiang anymore, he was afraid that Jiang Liu would be lonely, so he begged Shen Koudan to come and accompany him every day. In this way, Shen Koudan came here often, and he had an excuse not to be so embarrassing.

   "Business is okay, Kou Dan took a business and went abroad, and will come back next week. Didn't you and Shen Mo go to Europe to participate in some auction a few days ago, did you have fun?"

Jiang Xiaosi nodded hard: "Shen Mo used to work, but he took me to visit the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, and we also went to Venice. It was really fun! I sent all the photos to your email. We took a lot of group photos, but unfortunately he couldn't see me..." Those who helped take pictures also wondered why the couple always stood so far apart. In fact, if they were close together, their bodies would overlap, and it would be no wonder if they weren't frightened to death.

Jiang Liu patted Jiang Xiaosi's head: "It's been five years in the blink of an eye. Although I don't say it, Shen Mo must be very bitter. But it was caused by his cruel heart and self-righteousness at the beginning, and it was also caused by your sloppy and reckless , both of you are at fault, and both of you are responsible for the consequences. Now that you have chosen this path, no matter how difficult it will be in the future, you must go on together. Whether you can see it or not, you can always be happy if you can be together."

  Jiang Xiaosi nodded, thanks to Shen Mo who couldn't see her, if she couldn't see Shen Mo, with such an untouchable lover every day, she would have collapsed long ago. She had no way not to consider his mood, no way not to blame herself. She always wondered, did she drag him down? In fact, they are not lovers at all now, they just live together every day. Shen Mo is very kind to him, but always indifferent, she has hardly seen any unnecessary expressions on his face these years.

   "Dad, sometimes I'm really scared..."

"Don't be afraid, I will definitely find a way." Jiang Liu smiled and tapped her on the head, "Tell me, what did Shen Mo feed you? You grew so tall all of a sudden. I fed it for a thousand years before I grew up." So a little bit, like a bean sprouts."

  Jiang Xiaosi happily compared himself with him, and suddenly thought: "Dad, do I look like my mother?"

  Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment: "The eyes are a bit similar, but the rest is like your father."

   "What is my father like?" She often sees Liu Zhi's portrait, but Zhao Bing's has never seen it.

   "Uh, very handsome, the second most handsome in the world."

   "Is there a handsome dad?"

   "No, your father is the most handsome man in the world."

  Jiang Xiaosi laughed loudly: "Then why did mother choose daddy and not you?"

   "Because your father loves your mother more than your father."

   "Nonsense, there is no one in this world who loves mother more than father."

Jiang Liu kissed her on the forehead: "Xiao Si, you have to know that everyone treats love differently, just like your father can die for your mother, but your father can give up the whole country for your mother. There is no difference between the two. In comparison, because Dad could die for you, to save the people of Liming, but in your dad's heart, he only pretends to be your mother."

  Jiang Liu found that he could talk about the past in such a calm manner now, and it seemed that he had finally let go of his heart.

"So don't think that Shen Mo's love for you is less than that of your father. He is just not good at expressing it. Like your father, he is a proud, domineering and self-righteous person. He only wants to be good to someone, no matter how hard he is. No matter how his behavior and language make you worried, misunderstood or sad, you can’t just look at the surface, but believe that he believes in your heart, and you can’t make the same mistake last time and make a hasty decision to drink Boneless. I don't want to see you follow in your mother's footsteps, understand?"

   "Understood." Jiang Xiaosi nodded vigorously, and immediately regained his vitality.

   "Dad, Shen Mo and I are going to catch criminals at night, and they are inhumans who rob cars and kill people."

   "Do you want Dad to help?"

   "No, don't worry, a few guys, we can handle it."

  After dinner, Xiao Tang came to pick them up.

"I borrowed this car from the bureau as a bait. It is very expensive. You must not lose it, and you are not allowed to spoil the car during a fight." Xiao Tang explained and explained before giving the car keys to the police. Jiang Xiaosi.

   "Don't worry, I have had my driver's license for several years." Jiang Xiaosi bought a car himself, parked it in the T parking lot, and drove it occasionally when he went out. However, Shen Mo is still not used to taking a car, and prefers to take the subway if there is no urgent matter, which is relatively stable. And she couldn't go anywhere without Shen Mo, so she didn't drive much, no wonder Xiao Tang was worried.

  At one o'clock in the morning, Jiang Xiaosi was driving on a deserted road, with Shen Mo sitting in the co-pilot. The two didn't talk or send text messages, and they seemed unusually quiet.

  Because there is a certain time interval for criminals to commit crimes, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, they deliberately drove out a high-end convertible car suitable for drag racing to lure them.

  The car drove not far from the accident, and sure enough, there were many stones on the road.

   "Here we come, be careful." Shen Mo whispered. Jiang Xiaosi is no longer a zombie but an ordinary person, and his ability to protect himself has declined, but he has learned a lot of ghost-hunting spells from Shen Koudan over the years.

   "Don't worry." Although he knew that Shen Mo couldn't hear him, Jiang Xiaosi still nodded naturally.

  Shen Mo pretended to get out of the car to move stones, when he heard something fall from behind, and a green-haired hand strangled his neck. Shen Mo threw over his shoulder and smashed the opponent's two-meter tall head to the ground. He saw that it had a ferocious face, with long fangs, half human and half beast. This kind of genetically mutated monster is usually agile and powerful. It is not afraid of spells and ordinary physical attacks, but it is very afraid of fire.

   Hearing the sound of glass shattering behind him, two more jumped onto the car and smashed the window, as if they were tearing apart the people in the car.

   "Jiang Xiaosi, use fire."

   As soon as the words fell, two flaming talismans flew out of the car, stuck to the two monsters, and immediately burned.

   "Shen Mo, be careful!" Seeing the one behind Shen Mo get up, Jiang Xiaosi hastily shouted.

  Although Shen Mo didn't hear it, he soon realized it. He turned around, raised his hand, and simply pointed at the monster. It was as if a fire dragon spewed out from his fingertips, engulfing the monster in a sea of ​​flames.

  Wait for a while, Shen Mo extinguished the fire in time, tied the three half-dead monsters together, and waited for Xiao Tang and the others to deal with them. If he was in the past, he would definitely have to kill them all. But now, when doing things, there is always a bit of compassion and a bit of leeway. There are also a few monsters watching secretly in the forest, and they have already scattered and fled in fright. It must have been a long time since they dared not come out to commit crimes again. It is the easiest to deal with such a simple crime with low IQ.

   "Are you okay?" Shen Mo opened the car door, the seat was sunken, Jiang Xiaosi should still be there.

  The text message rang.

  —I'm fine.

  Shen Mo looked at the bright red blood stained on the broken glass under his feet, nodded without speaking, and called Xiao Tang.
