Bai Chunian wore a snow bubble Santa Claus beard: "..."

Bi Lanxing walked in with a cake and put it on the table: "Lu Yan said today is Brother Chu's birthday."

Lan Bo sat next to Bai Chunian, wiped the cream off his face, and licked his fingers: "What does birthday mean?"

Sitting on the sofa, Bai Chunian remembered the birthdays he had at the chairman and Uncle Jin's house before. He didn't know what year and month he was born, so his birthday was set on the day Uncle Jin took him home. Today happened to be In the fifth year, he was always too busy in the middle, doing tasks in various places, and his real birthday was five years ago.

Although Bai Chunian didn't explain it, Lan Bo could see from his expression that he liked this festival. Lan Bo took a look at the date, August 14th, so he silently wrote down the date and carved it into his arm with his fingernails. so as not to forget.

"One, two, three... Nineteen, twenty, hey, just right." Lu Yan put a candle on him, and suddenly realized that he didn't bring a lighter, and his rabbit ears shivered awkwardly.

"You can't buy candles with a number... it's all filled." Bai Chunian laughed angrily, and took out a lighter from his pocket to light the candle.

The candle was lit, Lu Yan urged him to make a wish, Bai Chunian took out his mobile phone unhurriedly, and called up a selfie: "Don't worry, take a photo and send it to the circle of friends."

He took several group photos and said, "Say it earlier, I'll call Brother Han, Duan Yang, Lao He and the others too... Forget it, let's live for now, next time I have a chance... ...If you have a chance, please join us."

Lu Yan urged him to make a wish, and Bai Chunian thought about it and said, "I hope to have another birthday."

Lu Yan blurted out: "Hey, it won't work if you say it" Bai Chunian grabbed the rabbit's ear and scolded: "Can you speak? What's wrong!"

Several people were arguing all afternoon. After the cake was finished, Lu Yan was sleepy on Xiao Xun's lap, and Bi Lanxing went to the bathroom.

When he walked out of the bathroom, he happened to bump into Bai Chunian, who was leaning against the corridor: "What are you looking for?"

Bi Lanxing shook his head as if nothing had happened: "What do you mean?"

Bai Chunian put his pocket in his pocket, leaned in front of him, and said softly, "Check the homework. There are two unreasonable places in my house. Have you found it?"

Bi Lanxing glanced at the watch on Rimbaud's wrist. Rimbaud hardly wears a watch, not even when the six-man squad is in action.

And a sliver of ignition powder left in the cracks in the floor.

"Very good." Bai Chunian straightened up, "This is the penultimate analytical ability I taught you."

Bi Lanxing was stunned: "The last one is..."

"When you focus on observing clues, be alert to whether others are watching you." Bai Chunian raised his hand, pressing a button in his palm, he released his hand, and the four corners of the room suddenly started spraying hypnotic gas.

Bi Lanxing fell down slowly before he could say anything more.

Bai Chunian took the equipment from the arsenal in the secret room and threw Rimbaud's share to him.

Rimbaud took the backpack and put it on his body, the gills on his cheeks moved.

Bai Chunian dragged Bi Lanxing to the side of the two sleeping on the sofa, squatted down, dipped a finger on the remaining cream in the box, smeared a small piece on one of their cheeks, and rubbed the rabbit's ear again .

Rimbaud sat at the table and silently watched him say goodbye.

"Let's go." Bai Chunian waved at Lan Bo and walked out with a gust of wind.

The door to the apartment was closed, and an empty syringe that had been filled with synesin fell to the ground with a thud.

——

After they left, the room became quiet and you could hear the needle drop. Lu Yan buried his head in Xiao Tun's arms and fell asleep, while Bi Lanxing, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes silently.

"Yes, you taught me, and I wrote it down on the third line of page forty-ninth of the notebook."

Chapter 231

The two drove away from Aphid City, switched drivers, and drove on the highway for nearly 20 hours. The last city they passed was Tongkou City. They passed by Zhengyuan Restaurant at the intersection of Fengcheng South Road and Hongya Road, and stopped by for a meal. Start again.

Due to its confidential nature, the 109 Research Institute's specific location is prohibited from being displayed on ordinary navigation software, but Instructor K gave them the satellite coordinates in advance.

And Bai Chunian also made some predictions about the specific location of that place. In the triangular pyramid hut, Wuxiang Stalker copied 28 rooms, and the clock time of each room represented the time when he arrived at that room. Therefore, it can be roughly calculated that after leaving Tongkou City, it takes about an hour's drive to reach the headquarters of the research institute.

The headquarters of the 109 Research Institute is located on an uncontrolled border and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The discharge of industrial waste is very convenient, and some equipment uses tidal energy to generate electricity, which saves energy to the greatest extent. In some people's shrewd minds, this It's an excellent location.

They stayed in Tongkou City for three hours longer than expected, because Bai Chunian had an impromptu intention and planned to go to Ailian's private house to investigate. If there was any excess synesthesia, it would be hidden in her safe or under her pillow. , they don't have to spend any more time.

But the truth is not so simple. Ellen's private house looks uninhabited for a long time, only the gardener is still pruning the lush pine branches in the garden.

Rimbaud secretly avoided the nanny and the housekeeper and climbed into the villa to rummage, while Bai Chunian dressed up as a humble job seeker, holding a fake resume to inquire about the whereabouts of the gardener Ai Lian.

As for the owner's whereabouts, the gardener only said that he should go to work or to go on a business trip. Bai Chunian asked in detail. The gardener said that a month ago, Professor Xiao Yang, who was living in the villa, dragged his luggage and drove away. She wanted to go out for a long trip, and after watching Xiao Yang leave on the second floor, Ai Lian hurried back to the research institute. There should be something wrong with her work. She rushed back to deal with it. villa.

Ai Lian is a workaholic. She lives directly in the research institute most of the time. It is not uncommon for her to not go home for several weeks, so the nanny and the housekeeper at home also work as usual, so don't think it's strange .
