Chasing the Mist

Mother Gu gathered herself together, turned around and walked back, "Gu Xun, follow me."

Gu Xun followed his mother into the master bedroom, closed the door, and didn't move the door. He planned to infiltrate his parents little by little, but he was bumped into by his mother, and he was at a loss for a while.

Gu's mother is over half a century old, her body and skin are well maintained, she looks like she is just in her early forties, and all the big and small things in the family are handled by Gu Renli. , Shocked, her internal organs trembled, tears came out before she could speak.

In my memory, my mother seldom cries, she doesn’t have to worry about money, rice, oil and salt, the child has a nanny to take care of her daily life, homework and academic tutoring, no need to go to work, she can swipe her credit card for things she wants to buy, and travel around the world in her free time. The thing that troubled her, the sudden burst of tears made Gu Xun flustered, so he took out a tissue and wiped the tears for his mother himself, "Tears tend to make women old, don't cry, it's a big deal."

"Stop talking to me." Gu's mother grabbed the tissue, wiped it herself, then pulled Gu Xun to sit beside her, and said earnestly, "Thirty, don't be impulsive and willful like a child."

"I'm not impulsive, I'm not willful, I'm serious."

Mother Gu sighed, "Mom is not old fashioned. She has met many gays and respects their choices. She will not laugh at this group, but you can't."

Gu Xun smiled and said, "Mom, you have serious double standards."

Gu's mother raised her hand and slapped him, "Stop making jokes with me, you know what I mean, let your father know about this, and Xiaoran will be kicked out of the house. The Lin family's parents have been away for more than ten years, and he has no one to rely on. Where did you let him go?"

Gu Xun stood up abruptly, and unconsciously raised his voice, "The house my grandfather left me is not in Gu Renli's name, and he can't reach that far."

Gu's mother sighed again, stretched out her hand to pull Gu Xun to sit down, "You have grown up without us worrying about everything, why are you so confused about this?"

"Your father hates your uncle, but you just want to be a policeman like your uncle. At our age, he wants you to get married and have a baby early, and you like men again. The knot of being a policeman has not been fully untied, and you give him Tie a knot, with your dad's temper, will he let you off easily?

Not to mention that the old man kept this house, even if he is a stranger, he has countless ways to drive away Xiaoran, and he still has a job. Your father is no longer just a businessman when he is sitting in the current position. He has a huge network of people, so he can completely ignore you. Uncle, quit Xiaoran, would you like to see Xiaoran unemployed and homeless?In addition to what I thought of, he has more ways to separate you. Listen to my mother, let go before your father knows, it's good for you and Xiaoran. "

Gu Xun was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Mom, I can't do it, as for Gu Renli to do whatever he wants, the money in my hand is enough for us to leave Baicheng and start over."

The persuasion was ineffective, and Gu's mother was sobbing again, "Xiao Ran has no father or mother, and is alone in the world. If... if she dies... no one cares."

Gu Xun sneered, took out the handcuffs and threw them on the bed, "If Gu Renli dares to do that, I will act according to the law."

"You can't beat your father. As long as he wants to, there are many desperadoes who are willing to do it for money, so he doesn't need to do it himself."

"I am not a policeman for nothing. He has been in business for many years. I don't believe that his hands are not sticky at all. As long as I think about it, I will definitely find out what brought him down."

Gu's mother held tightly the crumpled tissue and said seriously, "Gu Xun, he is your father. Our family depends on him for support. What good does it do you to destroy him? If you don't have a lover, you can find another one, but there is only one father. "

"The parent-child relationship should be established on the premise of mutual respect. Back then, grandpa tried his best to send him to the police station. He made mistakes repeatedly, and the police force couldn't get along. He began to blame grandpa and envy uncle.

He hates the police, doesn't allow me to enter the police academy, wants to have a grandson, forces me to get married, has he respected me?

You can't change me, and you've been eyeing Gu Yuan again. From childhood to adulthood, Gu Yuan went to cram schools and applied for college majors. Which thing have you asked him about his feelings?Considered his idea?Mom, we are thinking beings, not machines. "

Being away from his parents all the year round, Gu Xun seldom communicated with them with open heart. Gu's mother was taken aback, a little dazed, "Your father is also doing it for your own good—"

"For us? He is afraid that no one will inherit the business, no one will publicize his glory, he is afraid that his self-made glorious deeds will be taken to the grave, and he is afraid that no one will know that he is richer than his uncle.

Every time you stand on his side to persuade us, Mom, without his money, you can live well without those luxuries, and offering him like a god will only increase his wanton behavior. "

Mother Gu felt a little embarrassed by what her son said, and the shock dissipated a lot. She shook Gu Xun's hand and said, "Mom, let's help you hide it first. Let's find a way slowly. Anyway, your father won't be coming to Baishan for a while. city."

"I didn't want to hide it from him, I just didn't think of a peaceful solution."

"Otherwise you marry the girl first, and then find a reason to divorce after you have a child."

"Cheat marriage? Same wife? I can't do it."

"If you don't cheat on the marriage, you can make it clear to the girl first. Mom will give her part of the private money, which is enough to support her for the rest of her life. There is nothing wrong with having a child. There must be a girl who is willing."

Gu’s mother is a typical vase, she can’t talk enough, Gu Xun felt a little helpless, and made a stop gesture, “Don’t talk about your bad ideas, first, I can’t betray Lin Yiran and have sex with a woman, and second, I can’t give my child A family complete with love, I wouldn't bring him into this world."

Gu's mother twisted her body and said angrily: "I'm too lazy to take care of your business, you can find a way by yourself, there is no one that will make me worry."

Gu Xun pressed his shoulders and turned his mother around, and said in a good voice, "You don't need to worry about my affairs, what's wrong with Gu Yuan?"

. "I heard your dad call a few days ago. After Gu Yuan took over the Baicheng branch, he obviously expanded his business, but he lost money every month. Your dad gave him a part of the money every month to subsidize him. If this goes on for a long time, our family can't bear it." After being tossed about for nothing, your dad asked him where he got the money? He said it was spent on women, alas... I don’t know how many women need to spend this money.”

Gu Xun didn't know about these things at all, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Your father is a person who wants to save face and suffer. How could he tell you this? I heard it secretly. I originally planned to wake up and go to Yuanyuan company to have a look. Who knows that I ran into you and Xiaoran before I went... ...Two big men, what is there to kiss? How can they talk?"

Gu Xun: "..."

"I'll accompany you to Gu Yuan's company in a while, why come to sleep in the old house suddenly?"

"Yuanyuan originally planned to send me to Vanke's apartment. The company had a temporary emergency on the way, so he sent me to the old house nearby to take a nap. Who knew I would meet you..."

"Change clothes, let's go to Gu Yuan's company now."

After closing the door of the master bedroom and going out, Lin Yiran was watering the flowers on the balcony. Gu Xun quietly walked over and wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, "My mother didn't scare you, did she?"

Lin Yiran smiled slightly, "It should be said that I didn't scare my aunt, right?"

"It's not easy, but I've got it done."

Lin Yiran turned around and pushed him away, "Auntie is simple-minded and open-minded, I can handle it too, but uncle is the one with the most difficulty."

Just as Gu Xun was about to answer the call, Gu's mother changed her clothes and came out, seeing that Lin Yiran was a little more gentle than usual, "Xiao Ran, let's go together, we will have dinner together as a family after we finish our work."

"Okay." Lin Yiran was calm and generous, treating Mother Gu the same as usual.

It was noon, and the white-collar workers walked into the office building in twos and threes after finishing their lunch. The elevator entrance was crowded with people. Gu Xun and the three waited at the end.

Lin Yiran was the last one to go in. He looked up and saw a familiar face in the left corner of the elevator. He hadn't seen him for more than half a year. The blue round buttons are neatly arranged in a row, the black trousers are straight, and there is a cup of coffee in his hand. There is no student atmosphere at all, and the eyes still have the high spirit.

Li Shengzhou is located in the innermost part of the elevator. Naturally, he saw Lin Yiran and Gu Xun early on. He turned a blind eye and pretended not to know each other. He was just a former suspect. His life did not intersect. There is entanglement, Lin Yiran also pretends not to know each other.

Li Shengzhou is still a graduate student on New Year's Day, and now at the beginning of September, he has just graduated for more than two months. Lin Yiran remembers the first time we met. The padded jacket with cartoon cloth stickers on him was very shabby. It stands to reason that he should have just started working. He is a newcomer, but judging from his appearance, he does not look like a student who has just stepped into the society at all, but looks like a professional elite who has worked hard for many years.

Lin Yiran was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't realize that the elevator had arrived. Gu Xun touched him and said, "Let's go." Then he came back to his senses, stepped out of the elevator, and threw his thoughts on Li Shengzhou. When he turned his head, his eyes collided with Li Shengzhou. They didn't even dodge, they just stared straight at each other, like two sharp swords clashing on the battlefield, it seems that whoever dodges will lose first.

The elevator door closed slowly, and at the last second when the door closed, Lin Yiran saw Li Shengzhou grin, that smile was indescribably weird and thought-provoking, and he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

When Gu Jingjing was killed, Li Shengzhou had a strange attitude at the beginning. After being emotionally unstable and cleared of suspicion, it is still very strange today. The police found out the real murderer of Gu Jingjing. As the family of the victim, he would be grateful to the police, but he was always It is contempt.

Professional acuity drove Lin Yiran to turn around and run into the fire exit. The elevator went to the top floor just now. If Li Shengzhou got out of the elevator, it meant that he was working on the top floor. Two steps, when climbing up to the highest floor, Li Shengzhou walked deep into the corridor with a coffee in his hand, and a girl walked up to him, nodding and bowing to greet him.

Li Shengzhou turned into a company named Tianqi, Lin Yiran stopped the girl who greeted Li Shengzhou, showed his ID, and asked, "Do you know the man who just took the coffee?"

The girl nodded blankly, "Our company's financial director... what's wrong with him?"

"How long has he been in the company?"

"I came here in March this year. I heard that they are high-achieving students who have just returned to China."

In March, Li Shengzhou didn't graduate as a graduate student, and he became a returnee after being gilded. Lin Yiran smiled, "You, Mr. Li, are fine. Please keep our conversation today confidential."

When the girl came into contact with the police for the first time, she panicked, stared and said "oh", and ran away.

Lin Yiran turned around, Gu Xun chased after him, "What are you doing upstairs?"

"I saw Li Shengzhou in the elevator, so I followed him out of curiosity. He turned out to be the chief financial officer."

Gu Xun frowned slightly, "Gu Jingjing's graduate student boyfriend who studies mathematics?"

"Ah."

"He was in the elevator just now, why didn't I see him?"

"He's completely changed now, it's normal not to see him."

"Then you are not normal?"

Lin Yiran: "..."

Regardless of the secretary's obstruction, the three of them rushed straight into the CEO's office. Behind the computer screen, Gu Yuan and the other person didn't know what to look at, giggling, and looked up to see their mother and brother in the office. Xiaorou didn't laugh and said, "Why are you here?"

Gu Xun sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs and said lazily like an old man: "Aren't you allowed to come?"

Gu Yuan couldn't afford to offend this big Buddha, and said with a smile: "Come here, come here."

The other person behind the computer screen stood up, "You are busy, I'll go back first, goodbye, Auntie and Captain Gu."

It was none other than Jiang Chen who had chased after Lin Yiran. He walked up to Lin Yiran and stopped for a while, "Long time no see, Police Officer Lin. If you have nothing to do, why don't you have a meal later?" His eyes seemed to be on Lin Yiran's body.

Gu Xun got angry when he saw it, but because he was in Gu Yuan's company, he held back his temper and didn't lose his temper.

It was Gu's mother who pulled Lin Yiran away and hid behind her, "Sorry, Auntie made a reservation first, and Xiaoran will join our family dinner later."

Jiang Chen smiled politely, "Then I won't bother you, I wish you a happy meal."

Gu Yuan lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely, and when Jiang Chen left the office, he smiled and said, "I didn't wait for anything, my mother-in-law took care of it first." Turning to look at Lin Yiran, "Brother Xiaoran, I'm jealous."

Gu Xun kicked him, pretending to be serious: "There is so much nonsense."

Gu Yuan trembled where he was kicked by his brother, "Brother, I was wrong, please let me go."

Gu Xun's phone vibrated, he went out to answer the phone and came back, patted Lin Yiran on the shoulder, "Let's go, there is a case." His eyes turned to Gu Yuan again, "Have a good meal with my mother."

After leaving Gu Yuan's company, Lin Yiran asked, "Which case?"

"Corpse found on Jinhai Beach."

Baicheng is not a famous coastal city, only a small area is located near the sea, no seaside park has been built, and the government has not promoted it, but there are still a large number of people in the city in summer, and the city's citizens go to the water to play.

In September, Baicheng is cool in the morning and evening, and there are very few tourists on the beach. When Gu Xun arrived, there were only busy figures in police uniforms on the shore.

Meng Jia trotted over, "Boss, the reporter is a couple from high school. They skipped class to pick up shells at the beach, but they dug out a finger with red nails in the sand. Judging from the skin color and length, it was a female index finger. From receiving Reported to the beach until now, the sea salvage team has not found anything, a total of 15 yuan of corpses were dug up on the beach, including one finger and one toe, and the rest were all square pieces of meat three centimeters long and wide."
