River Breeze Night Sparrow

The sky in Diancheng is always very blue and deep, like a mirror of a vast ocean.

Lin Qiu can see the mountains in the distance through the small window of the mountain hotel, and the curve is as smooth as a healthy back.

He watched quietly, with nothing in his heart, only a melody gradually sounded.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and he turned his head, only to see Su Ting standing at the door in a long white dress, with a smile on his youthful face.

She didn't say a word, just smiled, approached him, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently held his hand.The icy cold fingers flowed into his heart like a mountain spring.He followed Su Ting out of the hut and came to an auditorium.

There was no one there, and footsteps echoed.When he turned around, even Sutin disappeared.

Lin Qiu looked down and saw that he was wearing a formal dress and holding a hard object in his hand, which made him panic.He really wanted to let go and see what it was, but he couldn't move his hand at all.

Suddenly, the melody in his mind suddenly became clear, the sound of the violin became more and more passionate, but the cello slowed down, lengthening everything, including his breathing and the time at this moment.

At the point where the music was most exciting, everything stopped suddenly, and the sound of a harp came faintly in the distance.

A man suddenly appeared at the entrance, dressed in a white robe, like a pure messenger and saint of the gods.

Lin Qiu held his breath, watching the robe gradually approaching, transforming into a fluttering wedding dress, then into a white dress, and finally stood in front of him.

A voice whispered to him: "Pierce my veil, my love."

Lin Qiu was very timid.He said, "Sorry, I don't have a lover."

"Really? Do you want to have one then?"

A white mist floated from outside the auditorium, and soon filled the small space.The hard object in Lin Qiu's palm was also getting hot gradually.He looked down and saw that he was holding a piece of white jade in his hand.

The piece of white jade gently floated up and landed on the person opposite, as if completing a sacred ceremony.

The man said softly: "Now, I will protect you forever."

"I don't need other people's protection." Lin Qiu wanted to take a step back, but his legs couldn't move, and he couldn't help but want to take another step.

"Lin Qiu, you can't always refuse people's approach. Your biggest illness is loneliness."

"That's not a big deal." Lin Qiu's voice trembled slightly undetectable by others.

The man laughed softly when he heard the words, and stretched out a palm from the mist to gently caress his face. "Really? But, why do I feel cold every night, and why do I have to use medicine to sleep?"

"All your life you have been looking for peace of mind, where there is warmth that loneliness can't eat away. You long for it all."

Lin Qiu lowered his eyes and said, "One person's gain means another person's loss. If I get warmth, it will be at the expense of others' pain. I can't do it."

"You are wrong. Everything in the world is conserved, interests compete, you live and die, but only love can continuously create. You know that you are exhausted, and at the same time, you also know that you will not be content with a pool of silent stagnant water. You To live, and without this love, you can't do it."

"You live in the dark, but it's not something you should endure. Don't forget that you can't resist the dawn."

A beam of bright light passed through the fog, and the silhouette of the man in the white robe gradually became clear.He gently took Lin Qiu's hand, leading him to lift up his veil.

Lin Qiu's hands were wrapped in warmth, and Jiang Yi looked up at him with a smile, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Jiang Yi gently leaned into his ear and said, "Lin Qiu, I..."

"... Teacher Lin? Teacher Lin, wake up?" Several soft voices came from the distant sky, and Lin Qiu saw that his eyes suddenly became completely white.

Two seconds later, he opened his eyes again, only to see that he was lying on his stomach next to a hospital bed, and a familiar funny face was looking at him with a faint smile.

The gauze on Jiang Yi's head hadn't been removed yet, but he was much more energetic.

"Ms. Lin, are you awake? Seeing you sleeping so happily and laughing all the time, I can't bear to wake you up." He moved his numb right hand and said with a smile.

Lin Qiu also gradually felt the stiffness and numbness of his arms, and felt that he had lost his composure. He rubbed the roots of the mountain, stood up, and said, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Yi grinned: "It's okay, if it's not that the left hand is inconvenient, it's okay to use the other side to press you."

He slept for a day, and he was more energetic than before the injury, and now he smiled more easily than before, and it seemed that everything was fine.

"Just now I heard that Mr. Lin called my name. Could it be that he dreamed of me?"

The name calling was purely Jiang Yi's nonsense, but Lin Qiu didn't expect to hear the words, but remained silent, with a little blush on his face.

Seeing Lin Lin just appearing outside, Lin Qiu hurried out to change shifts as if he had caught a life-saving straw.

Lin Lin, who came in, went in without knowing it, looked at Jiang Yi and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with Xiaoqiu? Did he freeze up after sleeping next to you all night?"

He looked at Jiang Yi again and said, "Why are you blushing, and you're freezing too?"

Jiang Yi belatedly discovered Lin Qiu's guilty conscience, he was "a prophecy", did he hit Lin Qiu's little mind?For some reason, a faint pink color appeared on Jiang Yi's face.

But he quickly adjusted and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, the quilt is too warm."

Jiang Yi sat up and said, "How is the case now?"

Lin Lin came here once last night, and just interrupted Lin Qiu's somewhat inexplicable "below trust".But now the world is big and the case is the biggest, the most important thing is to understand the progress of the case.

Today, Hou Shihao is locked up. Although he has pleaded guilty, many chains of evidence do not match up.When I asked again, he refused to say another word.

Lin Lindao: "We worked overtime last night. We dug deeply according to what you said, and we found something new."

Last night Jiang Yi had carefully read Hou Shihao's personal information.

Hou Shihao, 25 years old this year.His mother's name is Hou Sisi, and his father's name is unknown.Hou Shihao was brought up by his mother, Hou Sisi. When he was 8 years old, the hair salon where Hou Sisi worked closed down. She was seriously ill and died shortly after losing her livelihood. Hou Shihao was sent to an orphanage to grow up.He has been working illegally in summer vacations since junior high school. After graduating from university, he has worked in two interior design companies and is now a designer at Monkey Moon Studio.

Jiang Yi also listened carefully to Hou Shihao's interrogation record.

"Besides the usury company, there is another suspicious point. He said, 'I instigated them to commit suicide, and I bought them the pesticide'. Have you noticed this sentence?"

Jiang Yi played the recording of this sentence again, and said: "Gao Xinyu didn't commit suicide by drinking pesticide at all. Hou Shihao knew that Gao Xinyu committed suicide, but he didn't know that she took sleeping pills, but he took it all at once. ,why is that?"

Lin Lin's face darkened: "Because, behind Gao Xinyu's death, there is another person."

Jiang Yi nodded: "That's right."

"To get Hou Shihao to speak, we need to find out why he chose Wang Qianchi and Mao Xiaolu? What qualities of the victim resonated with him? How did he stimulate Wang and Mao to commit suicide? Also, why did he choose Wang Qianchi and Mao Xiaolu? People are scapegoating?"

Lin Lin immediately expressed understanding, "One line is to continue digging into Hou Shihao's life experience, and the other line is Ping An Pratt & Whitney usury."

Last night, Lin Lin left all the documents at Jiang Yi's hand, and left in a hurry again.

And the next day, when he arrived at the hospital again, he had already gained something new.

He sighed and handed the information to Jiang Yi.

"The day Hou Shihao committed suicide in Wang Qianchi, that is, in the middle of the night on the 28th, he underwent gastric lavage in the emergency department of the Third Hospital. He also drank pesticides that night, but he was rescued and returned. He was discharged after three days in the hospital."

"So, he made an appointment with Wang Qianchi to commit suicide?"

For Hou Shihao, "community sinking" is easier to operate than "instigating suicide", and making a suicide appointment also makes Wang Qianchi more acceptable and more likely to be seduced.

"Then what about Mao Xiaolu?"

Lin Lin turned out another page of materials: "After Hou Shihao was discharged from the hospital, he and Mao Xiaolu really started to have close contact. At least once every two days, there was a landline contact, and Mao Xiaolu would delete the call records at home. In another coffee In the museum, the surveillance footage of Hou Shihao and Mao Xiaolu meeting was also found, but this time Hou Shihao disguised himself and became more careful, almost never allowing the camera to capture his face."

Jiang Yi frowned: "That is to say, Hou Shihao's mentality has also changed to a certain extent after meeting Wang Qianchi and attempting suicide. He didn't intend to repeat the same trick and commit suicide with Mao Xiaolu, but decided to commit suicide against her in a planned way." Guidance. He put himself in the position of the savior, perhaps, he thought there was a reason why he didn’t commit suicide, and he had the mission of helping others to escape.”

"Well, very likely."

Everything is much clearer.What they have to do now is to find conclusive evidence as soon as possible and dig out the truth behind Gao Xinyu's death.

Time was running out, so Jiang Yi sat up immediately, pulled out the needle neatly, and asked in a low voice, "Have you completed the discharge procedures?"

Lin Lin also whispered: "It's done. But you really don't want to rest for a while?"

"Am I the one who can take a break? I'll get prickly heat if I take a rest!" Jiang Yi frowned.

Lin Lin glanced outside and said, "Lin Qiu has been sleeping with you all night, do you really want to sneak away?"

"It's okay. Only by making him angry is there any reason to coax him." Jiang Yi smiled.There will be more opportunities to "sleep with me" in the future, don't worry.

He took the bag from Lin Lin, took out his clothes and put it on in a hurry.

As expected of Team Jiang, he was cunning enough.

Lin Lin didn't break Jiang Yi's "have no fear", nodded, pursed her lips, and said, "OK."

Jiang Yi sneaked out of the hospital following Lin Lin, while Lin Qiu at the corner was carrying warm millet porridge, quietly watching the two tall people's policemen who were "sneaky" and looking left and right sneak out of the hospital, helplessly sighed.

He suddenly had a feeling that the child couldn't keep it when he grew up.

Lin Qiu turned around, only to find that he was not the only one staring at the two backs, a woman who was about six months pregnant was also looking into the distance blankly.

It turned out to be Gu Jiayan.

Thinking about the extremely unpleasant scene at the wedding before, and Lin Qiu had "liquid" in his hand, which was still hot, he couldn't help but take half a step back, in case he was "succumbed" again.

Gu Jiayan was not as excited and annoyed as last time, but looked at Lin Lin's back in the distance, and said softly as if talking to herself: "If there were no such things, if we were just ordinary people, maybe we would be Lin Lin now. Accompany me for the prenatal checkup."

Lin Qiu didn't speak.

"What happened last time, I'm sorry. I know, you are innocent, but every year you send flowers to Xiaoxiao's cemetery. Her parents don't blame you, and I have no position to blame you. Also, you helped My husband is a lot, thank you."

I don’t know if it’s because of becoming a mother, but Gu Jiayan is much gentler than before. It seems that when she meets every former “enemy”, she is trying to reconcile and let all the anger and hatred be released from her body dissipate.

Lin Qiu only smiled politely upon hearing this.

He is not waiting for anyone's forgiveness, all he is waiting for is his own relief.

But he knew that Gu Jiayan once deeply resented him, resenting him for leading Su Ting into their innocent paradise.Because of this, Gu Jiayan's motherly brilliance behind this reconciliation still touched him a bit.

"Lin Qiu, what a coincidence! Which house is Jiang Yi in?"

At this moment, a beautiful female voice sounded somewhat surprised.

Tang Yijin walked towards Lin Qiu with a smile, and when he saw Gu Jiayan beside him, the smile on his face froze instantly.

Of course, Gu Jiayan will not forget Tang Yijin who stole the limelight at her wedding, and Tang Yijin also firmly remembers her ex-girlfriend who has been running long distances for many years.When they look at each other, there must be a flash of lightning hidden in it.

Lin Qiu did not dare to participate in the "war" of the women.He was already uncomfortable around Gu Jiayan, let alone being caught between two women.

He took another half step back, smiled at Tang Yijin and answered, "Jiang Yi has just been discharged from the hospital."

"Oh, that's a coincidence. I planned to see him." She picked up the lunch box in her hand and said, "I thought they were all there, and they brought several buns."

Because of Gu Jiayan, both Lin Qiu and Tang Yijin deliberately did not mention Lin Lin's name.But how could she not understand?It was the tacit understanding of Lin Qiu and Tang Yijin's "inside the situation" that once again poked the pain in Gu Jiayan's heart.

She just didn't have a common language with Lin Lin, and she just didn't understand his work, so she chose to leave and choose a stable and normal life that she understood.So what if she didn't like it?Everything is chosen by herself, and there is no way to regret it.

According to Tang Yijin's temperament, Gu Jiayan was stuck here, so she should say a few words to stab her, but thinking that Gu Jiayan still had a baby in her stomach, she held back.

Lin Qiu noticed the freshly bandaged wound on Tang Yijin's hand, and looked at Tang Yijin kindly with questioning eyes.

"Accidentally touched it, a small cut, no nerve injury, it's not a big deal."

Lin Qiu nodded, but Gu Jiayan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly rushed up half a step and grabbed Tang Yijin's arm, looked at her bandage and said loudly: "He did it, right? I know, if it wasn't for him To get in the way, Lin Lin and I won't..."

Gu Jiayan was talking nonsense, and Tang Yijin didn't dare to move because Gu Jiayan was pregnant, and Lin Qiu was even more helpless.Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Jiayan's husband Song Hongming rushed over and pulled his wife into his arms.

"Jiayan, why did you come here? I'm so anxious to death. It's okay, it's okay, let's go home quickly, our mother is still waiting."

Song Hongming coaxed Gu Jiayan with a coaxing voice, and explained to Lin Qiu with his mouth: "The pregnant woman is in a bad mood, I am very sorry, we are in a hurry, let's take a step first, and we will talk next time", while smiling at Tang Yijin embarrassingly Laughing, took Gu Jiayan away while wrapping her up.

But Gu Jiayan still turned her head and gave them a hard look, the gentleness of the years just now was gone.

Tang Yijin was in a daze for a moment, then brushed his hair, looked at Gu Jiayan's back, sneered, and said: "I didn't grasp it, but started complaining everywhere. What belongs to me is mine, and what is in my hands, I absolutely Won't let go."

Lin Qiu was a little uncomfortable prying into other people's privacy at first, but after listening to Tang Yijin's words, he suddenly felt a little more at ease, as if a certain argument that had been unsteady finally had strong evidence, and it was firmly established.

"Will you never let go?" He murmured softly.

Lin Qiu suddenly felt the existence of the jade in his arms that he hadn't had time to give away.This piece of white jade found in Diancheng seemed to be connected to his heartbeat, gradually warming up under a magical force.
