Chapter 289: Should You Promise Yourself (1)

Late at 11 o'clock in the evening, Fantine Garden.

The cold wind on the winter night was as cold as a knife, and the collapsed buildings turned into ruins, revealing an inexplicable strangeness.

In order not to be discovered, A Guang parked his car in the ground parking lot of Phase III, and the group walked to the scene of the collapse accident.

Originally, Xu Youning was just following Mu Sijue, but he followed him tighter and tighter.

Mu Sijue has always disliked others' approaching, so he looked at Xu Youning coldly, and Xu Youning immediately compensated for his pitiful smile: "Brother Seven, I'm a little scared."

"Ha——" Mu Sijue smiled contemptuously, "There are still things you, Xu Youning, are afraid of in this world?"

Xu Youning pointed to the ruins in front of him: "Has anyone died! Have you heard of it? The soul of those who died accidentally will stay in the place where they died for seven days... Today is the next day! I don't want to see a ghost..."

Mu Sijue did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he naturally scoffed at Xu Youning's remarks, and even looked at her.

When he arrived at the cordon at the scene of the accident, Mu Sijue gave A Guang a look. A Guang understood it and ran towards the two policemen in a panic, shouting from afar: "Police Officer, police officer!"

The police stood up after hearing the sound: "What's wrong?"

"I, I live in that building there!" A Guang pointed to a building in Phase 3. "I just got home from get off work. I parked the car downstairs and saw that the lights in my house were on. I suspected that a thief had entered!"

"The security in this community has been doing well. I have never heard of a thief." The policeman said, "Did you forget to turn off the lights when you went out?"

"Impossible!" A Guang said firmly, "I went out in the morning and didn't turn on the lights before going out! The security in this community was done well, but wasn't there a collapse accident? Who can guarantee that no thieves would take the opportunity to sneak in?"

After a pause, A Guang continued, "I originally wanted to call the police, but I wasn't sure if it was an erratic one. The security guard in the lobby told me that there were two police officers here, so I came to find you. Can you help me and accompany me to take a look?"

The two policemen pondered for a moment and agreed: "Okay, let's go with you to see. Anyway, there is nothing to protect at this scene, so let's act as an activity."

"Thank you, officer!"

A Guang quickly led the police away, and Mu Sijue pulled Xu Youning over the cordon and entered the scene of the accident.

Xu Youning brought his night vision goggles, clapped his hands, and looked like he was about to do something big: "Brother Qi, what are we going to do?"

Mu Sijue swept around and said: "The reason why Lu was identified as the responsible party was that in addition to the confession that was unfavorable to Lu was that there was no suspicion in the on-site investigation."

Xu Youning looked confused: "There is no suspicion at the scene, so why are we still coming to the scene in the middle of the night?"

"There is the most suspicious place without suspiciousness." After the night vision goggles, Mu Sijue's eyes were as sharp as a blade. "The police must have ignored some key clues, we need to find them out."

"The reason why the police ignore it is perhaps the most common thing on the construction site." Xu Youning said, "So, the more common things are, the more suspicious it is! We need to look for it in reverse thinking!"

In the darkness, Mu Sijue's smile on the corner of his lips was not known for admiration or joke: "It's not so stupid that it's hopeless."

Xu Youning made a face at Mu Sijue and turned to find something.

She looked like a torch, and she looked at it with great care and did not miss any corner.

As she said, she also wanted to help Su Jianan, which was probably the reason why Mu Sijue brought her to the scene.

If she finds the murderer, maybe she can help Su Jianan teach that guy how to be a good person!

However, Xu Youning never expected that he would meet such a thing - something no one knew except that person and a few people including her.

Not to mention a few buildings, even the entire community can be destroyed.

Xu Youning subconsciously looked back at Mu Sijue. He kept a distance of no more than 6 meters from her, but was not paying attention to her at this moment.

Some messy thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, Xu Youning picked up the thing quietly and put it in his pocket.

The movement was too fast, and the palm seemed to have been cut by something, but she had no time to care about it, just clenched her palm to stop bleeding - this could provide a good excuse for her nervousness.

Next, Xu Youning was in a mess.

She seemed to be standing at the junction of two worlds, being pulled by two forces.

Which side do she want to favor?

Why is Mu Sijue the person who overturned the verdict on her father?

Why was he the one who framed Lu?

Why did fate play such a joke on her?

"Have you found anything?"

Following Mu Sijue's voice, he was getting closer and closer.

Xu Youning took two seconds to calm down his emotions, stood up, shook his head in disappointment: "I found nothing."

Mu Sijue did not doubt that he was there and raised his chin in the distance: "I didn't find anything, go there and take a look."

He walked in front, and Xu Youning looked at his tall and deterrent back, and suddenly felt glad that it was night now.

If it was during the day, the panic and uneasiness in her heart would probably not escape the sharp eyes of this man.

An hour later, A Guang sent a message saying that he could no longer hold on and the police were back.

Xu Youning and Mu Sijue have searched twice, but found nothing.

Mu Sijue was obviously very dissatisfied with this achievement, frowned, his eyes behind the night vision glass were as dark as ink, and his sharpness was cold, keeping people from thousands of miles away.

Xu Youning couldn't see through what Mu Sijue was thinking for a moment, and thought he was angry, so he walked over and whispered: "Brother Qi, let's go back first. Find an opportunity during the day to see something, and you may find something."

She admired herself, and she could say this without blushing.

He knew clearly that unless she took out the things in her pocket, Mu Sijue would not find anything, and Lu's crime would eventually be confirmed.

Mu Sijue said "yes" and took Xu Youning back to the parking place. A Guang had been waiting in front of the car door and respectfully opened the door of the back seat for him, but he said, "No, I'll drive back by myself."

Before Ah Guang could react, Mu Sijue had already taken the driver's seat. Xu Youning was also a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether he should get in the car.

Mu Sijue lowered the car window and looked at Xu Youning coldly: "Do you want to spend the night here?"

Xu Youning gasped, rushed to the front of the passenger seat with a sprint of 100 meters, opened the car door and sat on it, and made a whole set of dongles, as if he was really afraid that Mu Sijue would throw her here.

The car started quickly and returned to the villa. Xu Youning ran in front to open the door. After entering the door, he took out his slippers for Mu Sijue, and then sat down to change his own. He said: "Except for the scene, it is suspicious. The unanimous confession is not good for Lu. We can check the people questioned by the police."

“…”

“…”

He had not heard Mu Sijue's answer for a long time. Xu Youning raised his head in confusion and met his condescending gaze.

She said "suddenly" in her heart. She was obviously very uneasy, but her face was confused: "Brother Qi, what are you looking at me?"

"How did you get injured?" Mu Sijue asked staring at the blood stains on her hands.

Xu Youning opened his hand and said "Oh" and said lightly: "I didn't pay attention to being scratched by the glass just now, it's nothing serious."

I was so nervous that I had no time to take care of it. Now when I looked carefully, although the wound was no longer bleeding, a long scratch was lying on the palm of my palm, with skin and flesh blooming, and the whole palm was covered in blood, which looked a bit scary.

Mu Sijue may have seen more bloody scenes, and he took them to the medicine box with an expressionless face and threw them to her: "Treat the wounds, there are many things to do next, don't delay things."

Xu Youning opened the medicine box with sensible sanitation, took out the disinfectant bandage and medicine, and neatly treated the wound.

When I was about to wrap gauze, I suddenly heard a voice of unknown meaning from Mu Sijue: "I am so skillful, I am often injured?"

Xu Youning was stunned without any trace, then curled his lips, "When I was a child, I had almost no wounds on my body for 365 days a year. I was afraid that my grandmother would hit me, so I secretly treated the wounds myself. So when it comes to treating the wounds, I have been practicing for decades!"

But those who have practiced cannot tie gauze with one hand. She was about to use her mouth, but a pair of beautiful hands reached out, and now she was completely stunned.

It’s unreasonable. People like Mu Sijue who have traveled all over the country since childhood and lived in the desert and crossed the rainforest should have their hands that are extremely rough. Why can they still look so beautiful?

Slim and powerful, with clear joints, and even the thin calluses on the fingers look extremely beautiful...

The gauze was tied up quickly, and Xu Youning came to his senses and smiled at Mu Sijue: "Thank you, Brother Qi. This is the first time someone has helped me deal with my wound. I am so touched!"

"How moved were you?" Mu Sijue suddenly bullied himself, "Do you want to agree with me?"

His voice was so charming that Xu Youning's hands subconsciously protected her chest, staring at Mu Sijue in a daze. Not only was he breathing, but his heartbeat was completely chaotic...

She looked like a little animal at a loss, looking at Mu Sijue with wide eyes uneasy, and the struggle in her eyes was obvious.

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes slightly and approached her like a hunting ambiguously. Xu Youning could even feel his warm breathing, and his hands couldn't help but grab the sofa.

She saw Mu Sijue's eyes getting darker and darker, filled with some things she didn't understand...

She kept hinting to herself, asking herself to calm down, and finally her breathing and heartbeat gradually returned to normal, but her thinking ability seemed to be pulled away...

She subconsciously wanted to close her eyes and calmly accept everything that was about to happen next.

However, just a second before she was about to close her eyes—

"Swish--" Mu Sijue laughed short and playfully.

Xu Youning suddenly came to his senses, stared at Mu Sijue with dissatisfaction, and he stood up as if nothing had happened, with a smile on the corner of his lips: "I've told you a long time ago, I'm not interested in tablets."

Xu Youning: “…”

A sense of badness arises when people tease and applaud.

This is Xu Youning's greatest shame in his life.

She gritted her teeth and was about to pounce on her and bite her, but Mu Sijue had already put his hands in his pockets and turned around gently. She could only punch and kick at his back with fierceness.
