It was a sunny afternoon. Xie Yuchen was sitting in a coffee shop in Nanluoguxiang, looking at the tourists outside the door. The other tables in the coffee shop were all foreigners. They could tell from their skin color and facial features that they actually came from different countries and they talked in English.

Even in China, they are unwilling to use Chinese.

The coffee shop is decorated with some combination of Nepal and Mediterranean flavors. It can be understood as a coffee shop opened by Nepalese in a Mediterranean country, and the coffee tastes like Japanese.

In the past decade, many beautiful girls have opened this kind of coffee shop that "just be happy by yourself", and over time, it has become an industry standard.

He is very familiar with the boss here. He often goes to such places in his spare afternoons, which makes him feel safe because the layout and everything here lacks rigorousness and he doesn't care about the rules. Compared to the real place where he drinks coffee, he would rather face these stupid girls here.

The boss’s wife didn’t know what he did. Xie Yuchen’s appearance has a natural affinity among women. In this afternoon drinking coffee, he didn’t have to get too close to these girls. Naturally, he could be treated for one afternoon by looking from afar.

But today he was not so calm.

Wu Xie sat opposite him, flirting with the book of poems written by the boss lady here. He frowned and was indeed reading attentively.

His appearance is much refreshing than when he first appeared, but his thin cheeks and the blue-black face caused by severe sleep deficiency still make people feel a little sick. It is an illusion that makes people feel that the fire in their body is about to burn out.

"You should go and take a break, and even if you want to do this, your current state is the biggest unknown factor."

Wu Xie's reaction was a little slow. He didn't raise his head until Xie Yuchen finished speaking, but his eyes remained on the collection of poems: "I understand that I still have some details that have not been completely put down. When I am no longer anxious, I will reserve my energy."

He closed the poetry collection, breathed a sigh of relief, pushed it to one side of the table, and lit a cigarette.

"No smoking is allowed here, the boss's wife will be attracted by you." Jie Yuchen snatched the cigarette from his mouth and pinched off the burning part into his coffee cup. His movements were quick, and Wu Xie didn't realize that the cigarette butt was gone.

Wu Xie pinched his eyebrows, took out a cigarette and continued to light it: "I don't want to be so disciplined anymore." As he said that, he took out a photo from his bag and handed it to Xiaohua. "There's nothing else to do this time, just ask you, is this person reliable?"

The photo shows a man with sunglasses, holding Wuxie's shoulders and smiling silly. He is also carrying a bottle of beer in one hand.

Xie Yuchen looked at the photo and didn't take it, but he just smiled. He looked at Wu Xie's expression. It was obvious that when he took this photo, it was a moment when Wu Xie couldn't laugh at all.

"What information do you want to know?"

"Everything you know." Wu Xie said.

Xie Yuchen looked at the photo, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "This man's surname is Qi, his family is prominent. He has no formal education. He has a degree in music and anatomy in Germany. He became famous in the industry a long time ago. He was mainly a broker for foreign investigations. He was very low-key and was one of the agents before Chen Pi's Si."

"Is it related to Jiumen? If the surname is Qi."

Jie Yuchen sighed: "It's true, it's not true. This person is more reliable because, because there is nothing in this world that can threaten him anymore."

Wu Xie raised his head, was a little surprised, and asked, "Why?".

"It's a very long story," said Jie Yuchen. "If you just want to know whether this person is reliable, this story is too long for you."

Wu Xie was silent, he touched his face: "He told me that he couldn't live much time. It seems that it is true."

Xie Yuchen saw Wu Xie's cigarette butts quickly ignite to the part of his finger. This is no longer a smoking. People don't need to absorb nicotine so quickly. Wu Xie is resisting anxiety by stimulating his lungs. He pushed the coffee cup in front of Wu Xie and asked him to use it as an ashtray. "This is my special coffee cup here, I brought it from home myself. This way, you are too tired. Let's take a break now."

"It's not that I don't want to rest, I can't rest." Wu Xie said.

Xie Yuchen stood up, took two or three cushions from the next table, and put them on Wu Xie's chair, letting him lie down. He sat cross-legged to the opposite side. "Close your eyes and I'll tell you what happened before this blind man."

Wu Xie stared at the ceiling, with various pipes decorated above his head, dotted with curtains and strange paint colors.

"Everyone knew this person 11 years ago. At that time, something particularly strange happened in Beijing. Because the place where this happened was quite special, few people knew that because I lived in the military district courtyard before, Grandma Huo was considered a red family member, the matter spread to the yard we lived at that time." Jie Yuchen said: "It was a building near Chang'an Street in the Second Ring Road. It was a slab building. It used to be a house of a certain army with seven floors. Now it is the Beijing Office of a certain unit. When something happened, the building caught fire and burned beyond recognition. Moreover, it was very fierce and it was burned out in an instant. It was very strange. After the fire was extinguished, a total of 14 bodies were cleared from it. But it was a holiday, and there was no one in the slab building, only one old man who was guarding the door. He also escaped. Afterwards, the unit and nearby communities were inspected, no one was missing."

"Is it a thief?" Wu Xie asked, "I went into the house and stole it, accidentally ignited the house."

"At first, I thought so, but later the police found it a little strange because they found that the rooms of the 14 corpses were very scattered and arranged strangely. Moreover, the forensic doctors found that 13 of the 14 corpses were not burned, but drowned."

Wu Xie rubbed his eyes and said, "If you tell me this kind of thing, how can I rest?"

"The 13 drowned corpses all had serious eye diseases. They were placed in 13 different rooms. These 13 different rooms formed a strange figure on the floor plan, which was a fish." Xie Yuchen said: "People are panic and think there is something hidden behind this matter."

"Where is the 14th corpse?"

Jie Yuchen said: "The 14th corpse is even more exaggerated. This corpse was found on the rooftop. He is different from the other 13 corpses."
