The feeling of home was warm.
His grandfather, mother, and sister surrounded Fo You and kept asking him about his life over the past few years, as well as what had happened. Fo You had learned to play the guqin in his childhood, and with his mother's encouragement, he played a song called Stars Falling. Everyone applauded to show their approval.
Although Fo You's family treated Xia Fan well and would ask him questions from time to time, Fo You's family was not Xia Fan's family, after all. There was a faint sense of estrangement.
Using the excuse of admiring the scenery, Xia Fan went to the beach not far away. He faced the sea, listened to the surging waves, and watched the silver moonlight shine on the sea.
The intimate scene in Fo You's home reminded Xia Fan of his own family.
Xia Fan had two homes. One was the scourges under the dome, and the other was Heaven's Wings, which he had never met. To Xia Fan, God's Mausoleum represented the past, and Heaven's Wings represented the future.
Fortunately, although Xia Fan was lonely now, he still had a family. However, Heaven's Wings was special, and it would take more than a day to find them.
"Your surname is Xia?"
A voice suddenly sounded in the darkness. Xia Fan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fo You's father, the serious-looking middle-aged man with long hair that was coiled up like a Taoist priest. He was sitting in the shade of the beach, and now he stood up and walked toward Xia Fan.
"Yes." Xia Fan smiled.
"And you're a Speed Master?"
"Yes."
Fo You's father shook his head gently and said, "It's not a good thing to have the surname Xia. Because of what happened a long time ago, the warriors of Cang Yue have some prejudice against people with the surname Xia. After all, Cang Long Yue Yin died a terrible death."
Xia Fan was slightly startled and asked curiously, "Uncle, do you know much about Heaven's Wings' invasion of Cang Yue?"
Fo You's father thought about it and said, "Not really. After all, it happened a long time ago."
"I just heard that all the famous masters of Cang Long Yue Yin were killed or beaten up by that group of evil invaders. That incident had a deep impact on Cang Yue. Most of the aristocratic families of inheritance today actually split up after Cang Long Yue Yin disbanded, and our family is no exception."
Xia Fan scratched his head. "So, uncle, you hate people with the surname Xia too?"
Fo You's father shook his head. "Hating the house and its crow is the behavior of the weak. I only hope that one day, I can personally face the legendary Tian Yi and avenge my family. Other than that, I have no other thoughts."
Suddenly, Fo You's father frowned and asked about Fo You at the Blue Boiling Point. He didn't show up for dinner, but Xia Fan could feel that he still cared about Fo You.
Xia Fan smiled and said, "Brother Fo You has a cynical temperament. He is a little lazy, but I don't think it's a bad thing."
"Oh? Why? "
Xia Fan said faintly, "Because Brother Fo You has no desires. Being friends with someone like him, I never have to worry about him betraying me for benefits. Because Brother Fo You doesn't care about benefits at all. Isn't that a good thing?"
Fu You's father gave a wry smile and nodded gently. "Yes, this child doesn't care about anything. It's impossible for anyone to buy him over, but are you sure this is a good thing? How can he inherit the family business if he doesn't have the ambition and is unwilling to work hard? "
"If the Drunk Buddha was still here, I might not force him like this. After all, he has a more talented brother to support the family, and Fo You can live a more relaxed life."
"However, the Drunk Buddha is gone. I haven't found it for eight years, and I don't know if it's still alive. Fo You is the only boy left in the family. I can't expect Xiaoxiao to inherit the family business in the future, can I? Girls have to get married eventually. "
It was not difficult to tell from the words of Fo You's father that he was still very conservative and traditional. He felt that the family must have a boy to inherit the family business, so he was so strict with Fo You since he was a child.
"But Brother Fo You will also have children." Xia Fan suddenly analyzed from an angle that Fo You's father had never thought of. He said with conviction, "To tell you the truth, I think Fo You's character has been fixed at this age, and it won't change anymore."
"You may be very disappointed with Fo You, but Fo You will also get married and have children. When the time comes, your grandson may be a great hero."
"As for Brother Fo You, you can let him be. Anyway, with his character, he won't cause any big trouble because he doesn't care about anything. No one can do anything to him, whether it's for benefits or threats."
Xia Fan saw Fo You's father's eyes suddenly light up in the dark. He said to himself, "Yes, Fo You will also have children. When the time comes, I will be a grandfather."
"Then let me ask you, does Fo You have any girls he likes in the Blue Boiling Point?"
"I don't think so …"
"No … I remember that your battalion commander Lan Dun has a granddaughter named Lan Jieya. She is 16 or 17 years old this year. Have you seen this girl when you were in the Blue Boiling Point?"
Xia Fan was stunned and shook his head gently. He thought to himself, "What does this mean? Is he going to arrange a blind date for Fo You? "
"It seems that I have to call and ask in person."
While talking to himself, Fo You's father slowly walked in the direction of his home. He took out the communication terminal and scrolled through the phone number.
"Old Lan."
"Haha, it's not a big deal. Fo You has already gone home, so I called to tell you."
"It's okay, it's okay. Everything is fine."
"By the way, I have something to ask you."
"I remember you have a granddaughter named Lan Jieya. You brought her to my house when she was a child. She is 17 years old now, isn't she?"
"16 years old? It seems that I remembered wrongly …"
.....
After staying at Fo You's house for two days, Xia Fan set off again with Fo You to their place of work, Delong Star Area.
"So annoying!"
"So annoying!"
"So annoying!"
After Fo You hung up the phone with his mother, he roared loudly in the command cabin.
"I don't know which bastard came up with the idea. My mother and my grandfather are now forcing me to go on blind dates. They have already found me a blind date before I even reach Delong Star Area. Can you believe it, Xia Fan? Seven. They have arranged seven blind dates for me!"
Xia Fan was speechless for a while. He knew that this was not the idea of Fo You's mother and grandfather, but Fo You's father. However, because the father and son had not spoken so far, Fo You's father asked someone else in the family to come forward.
As for the bastard who came up with the idea, it was none other than himself …
Xia Fan was also very annoyed. He did not expect that Fo You's father would listen to his advice and go so far. Fo You was a typical docile donkey. It was possible to persuade him, but it was impossible to force him.
Fo You's father still did not understand his son. He had turned a good thing into a bad thing, which made Fo You's rebellious mentality begin to act up again.
Xia Fan scratched his head and said, "Actually, your mother and grandfather have good intentions. I don't think it's their fault at all."
"Why?"
"The reason is very simple. You are the famous Little Buddha. As long as your mother spread the news that she was going to find you a wife, how many people would come to your door and beg to send their daughters to you? As the old saying goes, even if you don't care about the monk, you have to care about the Buddha. How could your mother refuse all of them? "
"So, you have to understand my mother and grandfather. Being born in a family like yours, many things are destined to be different from ordinary people."
Fo You was stunned and seemed to believe Xia Fan's words. Xia Fan felt that he was getting better at lying now. He did not even blush.
Fo You nodded. "You're right. Maybe I really misunderstood my mother and grandfather. Alas, who asked me to be young, promising, and elegant? It's my fault that my mother shouldn't have said such words to others. Now, how can I refuse these girls?"
Pfft ~
Xia Fan was about to vomit. Fo You really thought too highly of himself. He believed that Spirit Bird was a romantic and elegant man. As for Fo You, he was, at most, below average. There was no way he would be pursued by a girl.
Xia Fan had no choice but to follow Fo You's words and said, "Well, try to be tactful. It's not good to refuse people too forcefully. The girls who came to meet you must have some relationship with your family."
"Anyway, if I meet someone I like, I will chat with them. If I don't like them, I will politely refuse them. Let everything take its course."
Fo You nodded seriously. "It seems that this is the only way."
.....
A few days later, Xia Fan and Fo You finally arrived at the capital planet of the Delong Star Zone and returned triumphantly.
After landing, Xia Fan rented a warehouse at the airport to store Scourge. Then, he and Fo You cleared customs and took a hover car to the Star Zone Special Task Force station.
As far as the eye could see, the building of the Special Task Force was a building with twin towers. The towers were 120 stories tall and looked magnificent. The towers were connected by 12 transparent passageways in the middle, and there were dozens of helipads on both sides of the towers, making it convenient for investigators to move out at any time.
The Delong Special Task Force was a large organization in charge of the entire Star Zone. It had tens of thousands of employees, including 1,200 official investigators. It had jurisdiction over thousands of local branches. It was completely incomparable to the Britania Branch where Xia Fan had been.
The Britania Branch only had five investigators, including Jerry's father, so there was no division. On the other hand, the Delong Special Task Force had a complete structure. In addition to the traditional five departments, there were also the Personnel Department, the Spy Department, the Intelligence Department, the Special Forces Division, and so on.
Basically, the headquarters had all the departments here, but the number of people in the departments was much smaller.
Walking into the station, Xia Fan found that most of the people here had gloomy faces, as if they were not very happy.
"Recently, there has been a big case in the Delong Star Zone. The headquarters has asked us to solve the case within a time limit, so everyone in the station is under a lot of pressure," the blonde girl from the Administrative Department who led the way said in a low voice.
Xia Fan smiled slightly. "What kind of big case?"
"A psychopath with extremely cruel means. He specializes in killing thirteen- or fourteen-year-old junior high school students. Not only did he kill them, but he also dismembered the bodies and stuffed them into the toilet at home or school. There have been 23 victims in a row, making people panic. Many parents dare not let their children go to school." The blonde girl from the Administrative Department said in a low voice. She could not help but shiver. Maybe she was thinking of the bloody scene.
Considering the size and population of the Delong Star Zone, 23 dead people were actually not a big deal. The key was that it had a great impact on society. After all, those who were killed were all students, and some of them committed crimes in public.
"Do you have any suspects?" Xia Fan asked curiously.
The blonde girl said with a look of disdain, "No, but everyone suspects that it was committed by the indigenous people, because only those indigenous people could be so barbaric."
The Delong Star Zone was at the border of the Alliance. There were a large number of indigenous people here. Xia Fan saw many indigenous people at the airport and on the way here, including the taxi driver who drove him to the station.
Simply put, the indigenous people and the Cangyue people were all humans, but their bloodline was different from the Cangyue people, and they were more civilized than the Cangyue people. The three major alliances of the Cangyue Star Zone had been established, and the era of space warships had begun, but the indigenous people still lived a slash-and-burn tribal life.
Later, the powerful Cangyue people began to attack cities everywhere, occupying the surrounding star zones, and forcing the local indigenous people to change their beliefs and living habits.
It was not until the end of the Fourth Universal War that the three major alliances signed a non-expansion agreement that they stopped the invasion and oppression of the surrounding indigenous territories.
The main indigenous people living in the Delong Star Zone were called the Kyle people. The Kyle people had dark skin, were relatively short, and had big mouths. They liked to tattoo some tribal mythological totems on their bodies.
Although the laws of the Alliance stipulated that the indigenous people and the Cangyue people had the same status, in reality, the indigenous people would still be discriminated against. There were no indigenous people in the schools where the students were mainly from the Cangyue people, and there were no Cangyue people in the schools for the indigenous people. Everyone lived in different communities.
"What's even more bizarre is that this bastard who specializes in killing junior high school students always chooses to commit crimes on Wednesdays. Don't you think it's strange? Why does he have to commit crimes on Wednesdays? Does Wednesdays have a special meaning for him? "In the elevator, the blonde girl told Xia Fan and Fo You another important detail.
Fo You was stunned and asked Xia Fan, "What day is it today?"
