☆, The colors of the world (middle)

Mu Tong lost her father since she was young, and her mother pulled her and her younger brother. So her personality was quite similar to her mother, strong, independent and quiet. When she was eight years old, she got a serious illness and was blind after recovering from the illness. Her mother and her five-year-old brother hugged her and cried loudly. She comforted them softly and said it was okay, she would take good care of herself.

And she did fulfill her promise and lived no worse than ordinary people.

When she met Xu Jun, it happened to be her most difficult time. Her mother was seriously ill. The small amount of money she had saved after opening a bookstore in the past few years was thrown into it like a waste. My younger brother wanted to help the family, but he would get into trouble in the nightclub. So Xu Jun's thrust was a timely help and remembered in her heart.

But she also understood that life would go with fate. After meeting her twice, she thought that she might not have any interaction with Xu Jun in this life. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon three days later, the bookstore filled with fragrance of plants and trees came uninvited guests.

The visitor walked straight to her behind the counter. The waiter next to her wanted to step forward, but the man whispered, "Don't worry about me, I'll look for your boss."

Mu Tong recognized her voice - the girl who was with Xu Jun that day. She immediately stood up: "Hello."

Xu Xu stood in front of her.

Although the Xu brothers and sisters have different personalities, sometimes they look at people's eyes and preferences. For example, Xu Xu came in to stroll around because he passed by this bookstore today. But just looking at Mu Tong's clean face, he felt comfortable.

"Hello, my name is Xu Xu." She straightened the point and reached out to Mu Tong.

Mu Tong smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, but it was a little distance away from her hand. Xu Xu moved his hand forward and took the initiative to hold it.

Mu Tong personally accompanied Xu Xu to linger among the bookshelf. Xu Xu chose several books on social psychology. While he was pondering, Mu Tong smiled and said, "The books related to parenting are in the fifth row, and some foreign gun magazines are on the last shelf."

Xu Xu was stunned and looked at her side: "How do you know?"

Mu Tong smiled lightly: "My nose is very good. You have a milky smell and a little bit of a scent of stinky fire."

After Xu Xu returned home in the evening, he told Ji Bai about his experience today. Ji Bai hugged her waist and leaned her head into her collar: "It smells milk? I'll smell it carefully."

After a while, Ji Bai let go of her satisfaction, but admitted that even with his sensitive nose, he could not tell the smell. Xu Xu held the red marks all over his neck and sighed with his chin: "Her nose is so smart. If it weren't for a blind man, it would be great to join the police force!"

Ji Bai also nodded. Although the forensic technology has made rapid progress in recent years, things like "smell" cannot be carefully collected and identified.

"But if she wasn't blind, her nose might not be so flexible." Ji Bai said, "That's how things in the world are."

Xu Xu and Mu Tong quickly became friends.

It’s not that they are so close, both of them are quiet. But sometimes, tacit understanding and friendship do not require too much words or communication, and they will be quietly established. Xu Xu likes to read, and Mu Tong’s store is a bit strange. She simply applied for a membership card from her and reads it every weekend.

Mu Tong also likes Xu Xu's personality, direct, honest, and do whatever he wants. When she is focused on reading, she will say to the little girl in the store who wants to chat with her with a cold face: "Don't quarrel." It makes the little girl very wronged; but if there is something in the store, for example, if someone is too busy to get busy, she will walk away if she has something to do, she will put her hands in her pockets and walk behind the bar: "I'll help." Over time, several girls in the store are both awe and like this cold-hearted policewoman.

They also found a common hobby. Once, a young female clerk watched a male customer who was frequently patronizing and walked away, muttering shyly: "What is this person doing?"

Xu Xu, who was standing beside him, didn't raise his head: "He is an elementary school teacher, which is very suitable for you. If you want to chase him, take action."

Mu Tong interfaced: "Well, he is a teacher at the second primary school."

All the clerks were stunned and turned to look at them.

Xu Xu put down the book and looked at Mu Tong. A clear smile appeared in Mu Tong's quiet black eyes.

Xu Xu observed: briefcase, walking posture, chalk gray on his hair, and speech habits...

Mu Tong smelled it: the smell of ink, the smell of chalk, and the fragrance of large pieces of lavender at the entrance of Linshi No. 2 Primary School.

Different ways, same keen.

After that, the two of them occasionally became interested and would have such a secret confrontation.

"This person is a civil servant."

"That's right."

"Where is this?"

“IT technology man.”

"I can't smell this."

"I understand you, the computer has no smell."

Xu Jun knew that his sister had a close friend, which was already half a month later. When he heard Xu Xu mention the name "Mu Tong", her eyes appeared in his mind reflexively. Although the facts were right in front of him, he always felt less real whenever he thought of Mu Tong's blindness.

How to say it?

I have seen the beauty of those eyes, and the bright colors in her eyes that are more dazzling than the stars and snow. How could such eyes not be seen?

Of course, he would not mention this little thought to Xu Xu, but he just lazily commented on her rare female confidant: "I heard from the first time that women have established friendships because of reasoning. Sister, you are really weird."

Xu Xu thought about it and nodded and replied: "That's right, my love is based on reasoning, and so is friendship."

Xu Jun laughed and touched his sister's hair, but did not say another thought in his heart.

The woman he once loved deeply became her sister's only female friend; but now, the woman who aroused his slightest thoughts for the first time in many years has become her confidant again. Is this fate?

However, the thought was just a little bit. After a while, it might fade away if you don’t see each other in a few days.

Xu Jun would occasionally go to the bookstore to sit, which seemed natural: sometimes he would pick up Xu Xu, sometimes he would go to have a cup of lemon tea and buy a newspaper and magazine.

Mu Tong's attitude towards Xu Jun's arrival was still calm. But Xu Jun felt that her eyes were different from others. She raised her eyes and frowned, and the dark eyes, which were as clear as water, were silent and gentle.

However, he also knew that this was impossible because she couldn't see it.

The two talked occasionally, and the tea ordered by Xu Jun was never taken care of by ordinary clerks, but Mu Tong brewed it with him. This was probably to thank him for his help, but this unique treatment always attracted the attention of other customers in the store, which made Xu Jun feel happy.

Occasionally, when the clerks order takeout, Mu Tong would ask: "Do you want Mr. Xu?" Xu Jun hasn't eaten this kind of ordinary takeout for many years, so of course he said no. But when he was flipping through the magazine, he looked up inadvertently and saw her sitting behind the bar with several clerks, holding lunch boxes and eating silently, bite by bite, and slowly, and he suddenly became a little hungry. He found that although she couldn't see, she was very picky in eating. She carefully picked up the peppers, green onion slices, and minced ginger. She didn't like to eat large pieces of meat, and she didn't like to eat pork liver, so she always picked it out-pig liver - pork liver is a clear goal, doesn't she understand? It turned out that she was not as calm and sophisticated as she looked, and she also had a little willful and childish attitude.

After a few months without any wind and waves, one day, the company secretary laughed and teased him: "Mr. Xu, everyone is guessing who your mysterious girlfriend is?"

Xu Jun was surprised: "Girlfriend?"

Secretary: "Yes."

"I don't have a girlfriend lately."

The secretary was stunned? No? No? Why did Mr. Xu, who has always been a prodigal son, get off work on time every Friday and drive away with a spring breeze on his face? There are several best-selling books on his desk. With his personality, how could he read such kind-hearted books? And according to the analysis of the secretary and assistants, the books are covered with exquisite bookmarks and the beautiful fonts of women, but they are not girlfriends?

On Xu Xu's son's second birthday, Xu Jun got off work from the company early, bought a big toy robot and carried it back to Xu Xu's house. When he rang the doorbell, Mu Tong held the child's hand to open the door. Before he could speak, she smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Xu."

Xu Jun threw the toy to the child, and the child staggered with a smile, while the two of them walked in behind each other.

"How did you recognize me? I have a smell?" Xu Jun was in a good mood today, and a smile appeared in his voice.

"Um."

"What does it smell?" Xu Jun raised his arm and sniffed, "I washed it very clean."

Mu Tong was amused and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "It's not a bad taste. The daily living environment of ordinary people is relatively stable, so the smell on them is also different."

Xu Jun: "You really have a comparison with my sister. You can become a detective by relying on your nose. You can't hide anything you do, right?"

After saying this, he left Mu Tong alone, slightly stunned.

Xu Jun and his nephew were sitting on the floor playing with toys, and Mu Tong sat quietly on the sofa and drank tea. Ji Bai and Xu Xu had not returned home yet, but Xu's father was on a whim and directed the nanny to fight in the kitchen.

Xu Jun played with the child for a while, then looked up at Mu Tong.

He said just now, it was a bit hard to tell the difference between joy and anger, and it was not intentional. He was not a young man, but he was obviously blind, but he was more sensitive than ordinary people. Whoever wanted to be with her was really unable to hide anything from her. She was obviously as fragile as a cattail, but she was so strong that it was eye-catching. Of course, Xu Jun would not find a blind girlfriend, it was too troublesome... His mood was inexplicably anxious.

When Xu Xu returned home, he saw his son sitting on the ground having fun, but his brother and Mu Tong were particularly silent, and there seemed to be a strange atmosphere in the air.

But Ji Bai reminded her that the more strange the atmosphere between men and women, the more dramatic it is. So when she saw this scene, her nervous and busy day of mood relaxed, and she nodded to them with a smile: "Brother, Mu Tong."

Xu Jun stood up and took the briefcase from her hand.

Mu Tong also stood up, the two were very close, and Mu Tong frowned slightly. This subtle expression change was captured by Xu Xu. She thought and asked, "What did you smell?"

Mu Tong was silent for a few seconds and replied: "The smell of blood is very light. It also has the smell of disinfectant."

Xu Xu stared at her, looking a little immersed, and suddenly held her hand: "It's very good, go to the police station with me, now."

Xu Jun and Mu Tong were both stunned. Xu Xu explained: "There was a murder yesterday. The deceased was a doctor. I touched the corpse and all the smell of blood. The doctor also smelled of disinfectant. Now we have four suspects. The deceased was stabbed by a sharp weapon and died of heavy bleeding. If it was the murderer, the body should have the same smell. Let's go and help me identify it. Xu Jun, you drive us, your son stays home with his grandfather, and your mother is going to solve the case."

When the three arrived at the police station, they saw that the office of the criminal police team was brightly lit and there were still many people busy. Xu Xu took Mu Tong to find Ji Bai, and Xu Jun followed slowly. Xu Xu turned to look at him: "You can go back first." Xu Jun replied lightly: "If she really recognizes the murderer, you and Ji Bai must have tonight all night, right? Am I going to come back to pick her up again?"

Xu Xu: "Oh."

Mu Tong: "No need, I'll ask Mu Chen to come and pick him up..."

Xu Jun interrupted her: "No need. Since you are helping Xu Xu, I should give you it."

Mu Tong no longer refuses.

In fact, Ji Bai and Xu Xu have already made preliminary speculations about the suspects, but if Mu Tong's judgment is consistent, it can better help them determine the suspects. After discussion, Ji Bai and Lao Wu were in the interrogation room and briefly interrogated each suspect again, while Xu Xu sat with Mu Tong in an inconspicuous corner.

Xu Jun sat in the corridor outside the interrogation room, squinting his eyes and dozing off.

The police team was already very familiar with Xu Jun. When they saw him waiting, they just thought he was waiting for Xu Xu and smiled and said hello, but they didn't care about him. Da Hu, Zhao Han and others heard that Xu Xu brought a blind beauty to help, and were surprised and curious. They had nothing to do with them, but they took the folder seriously and walked to the room opposite the interrogation room, looking carefully through the dark glass.

When the interrogation was about to end, they walked out. Xu Jun heard them talking: "Hey, it's really beautiful."

"It's a pity that I'm blind."

"Tomorrow, ask Xu Xu if she has a boyfriend?"

Xu Jun suddenly became anxious again.

If he had such a little affection for other women in the past, he would have pursued passionately.

But Mu Tong is different. Mu Chen said that she is twenty-five years old and has never had a boyfriend. Who dares to touch such a woman? He doesn't dare to do anything about it anyway.

After the interrogation, everyone held a meeting in the large house of the criminal police team. Xu Jun sat at the door, seeing clearly and listening carefully.

He couldn't understand what the case was analyzed, Ji Bai said it quickly, briefly summarized the previous situation, and looked at Mu Tong.
