River Breeze Night Sparrow

In the cramped small garage, a set of bunk beds has taken up most of the space.Most of the garages in this school district have been remodeled to facilitate renting out to day students.Their layout is very compact, less than [-] square meters, but it includes structures such as bathrooms and small kitchens, which can be called "although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs".

Zhou Mingxue sat on the bed in a daze, lifeless, like an empty shell puppet whose heart and lungs had been hollowed out. She always had a gloomy expression on what others told her, and she didn't know whether she listened or not.One of her hands has been touching a light blue necklace, which is the style sold in every scenic spot in the country. It seems to be a gift she brought back to Zhou Mingyu from this trip.

With her other hand holding the charging phone, she stared at the pile of text messages that she hadn't had time to read before, her expression was so painful that she was numb.

The news of Su Xiaoya and Zhou Mingxue's return was first reported by Lin Qiu to the police.The Municipal Bureau received the news of Zhou Mingxue's return, and took Zhou Mingxue and Su Xiaoya directly from the station to the bureau.But after Zhou Mingxue heard the news, she just cried, and the police had no choice but to send her home to rest first.It was not until the next day that the police came to the door to inquire.

Lin Lin: "Do you and Zhou Mingyu know anyone in Jingdong City?"

Zhou Mingxue stared blankly at the phone.Lin Lin asked again patiently, Zhou Mingxue shook his head slowly as if he just heard it.

"Is there no fellow countryman?" Zhou Mingxue still shook his head.

Ye Yuan then asked Zhou Mingxue questions, while Lin Lin sat aside and observed secretly.

The things in the small room are very simple, the number and styles of clothes are small, but they are neatly arranged.There are some little girls' things hanging on the wall and the edge of the bed, including posters and miniature dolls, but they are all old and seem to be picked up.There are also two "Remarkable Progress Award" certificates on the desk, one for each of the sisters, both dated last month.

He glanced sideways and saw that in the bag Zhou Mingxue brought back, there were some special snacks brought back from Ruxi County, and some homework books.It seems that this child is not as lazy as the teacher said, in fact, he is quite serious about his studies.

"Is there anything you want to tell us?"

Zhou Mingxue still just shook his head.

Last night, when Zhou Mingxue saw them for the first time, she still had a dusty aura on her body, but her brows were relaxed, and her eyes were even bright.This is not at all the same as the girl Jiang Yi saw in the photo of the sports meeting before.At this time, Zhou Mingxue's eyes were full of hope, as if a butterfly that had just emerged from its cocoon could solve any difficulty.

But when they told her the news of Zhou Mingyu's death, they watched the fireworks in Zhou Mingxue's eyes called "hope" suddenly blown out, and the girl became more lonely and dry than before.

After leaving Zhou Mingxue's house, they returned to the Municipal Bureau. Sun Xiaoqu saw Ye Yuan and Lin Lin's expressions were not very good.

"How is Zhou Mingxue?" Sun Xiaoqu asked.

Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed: "It can be said that he is half a living dead."

"It's understandable. She skipped class and went out with her classmates. When she came back, she found her younger sister dead. It must have been a big blow. What's more, her younger sister sent her so many text messages before she died." Sun Xiaoqu said.

Ye Yuan: "Zhou Mingxue said that Su Xiaoya invited her to go to Ruxi County to relax. Zhou Mingxue heard that Su Xiaoya was suffering from depression, so she was worried that something would happen to her alone, so she went with her. Does that sound weird? What? I heard from my classmates that they don’t know each other very well, and it’s still in the semester, so why did they skip class to hang out with others? I really don’t know what these little girls are thinking now. But at least Su Xiaoya and Zhou Mingxue don’t It’s a little bit easier to be missing.”

"What about you? Have you discovered anything new?"

Sun Xiaoqu made notes for Su Xiaoya yesterday, and today went to investigate Zhou Mingyu's social relations in Jingdong City.

"Do you still remember that sister Zhou Mingyu has a sponsor? He is a small businessman in this city, who is engaged in foreign trade, and his name is Lu Fucheng. He helped them through a public welfare project called 'Looking at Spring'. Lu Fucheng gives them money every year. 3 yuan, occasional phone calls, not much contact. However, there is a person in charge of this public welfare project in Jiatou Village, Lushan County, their hometown, and he is very enthusiastic. Lu Fucheng said that Huang Weiyi often helps the poor in the village Students and left-behind children fight for public welfare subsidies and solicit funding. They are warm-hearted and good people. Lu Fucheng knows that the sisters are strong, and he often communicates with Huang Weiyi for fear that they will lose face and make demands. Huang Weiyi must have regular contact with sister Zhou Mingyu."

"Team Jiang and I will go to Jiatou Village, Lushan County tomorrow to learn more about the situation of the Zhou family sisters, and then go find that Huang Weiyi."

Lin Lin didn't see Jiang Yi, so he asked, "Where's Team Jiang?"

Sun Xiaoqu smiled and turned into a monkey face again. "Team Jiang has something to do today and has already left. He also said that we don't have to work overtime anymore!"

Ye Yuan let out a long sigh of relief. "Great, I can finally have an early beauty sleep today." She looked out the window, her eyes lit up. "Deputy Captain Lin, your brother is here to pick you up from get off work!"

Lin Lin looked into the distance, and saw Lin Peng waiting for him in the entrance hall in a wheelchair. When he met his gaze, the eyes behind the lens curved slightly.

Lin Peng had an accident when he was 11 years old, his legs were disabled, and he couldn't live without a wheelchair ever since.But he only languished for a while, and hoped for life again.Through his own hard work, he not only passed the university entrance examination, but also passed the teacher qualification certificate examination. He is currently working in a large educational institution and usually teaches remotely at home.

Like his brother, Lin Peng has a rare good temper.And Lin Peng is more handsome than his brother, he is handsome like a creamy niche.This also facilitates his work, after all, who doesn't like a handsome teacher?Ye Yuan also likes this one very much, every time Lin Peng comes to pick up Lin Lin from get off work, Ye Yuan can't wait to stick his eyes to Lin Peng.

"Mr. Lin, if you don't come, our sister Yuan will suffer from lovesickness!" Sun Xiaoqu feared that the world would not be chaotic, but Ye Yuan stared at him fiercely.

Lin Peng politely replied: "I took one more student's class this semester, so I'm really busy. Today, a student happened to ask for leave. I thought that I hadn't picked up my brother from work for a long time, so I came here. I thought you would have to work overtime again. So bring something to eat."

On the table next to it were pastries packed by Lin Pengshun.Lin Lin enthusiastically gave the big guy three or five points to take home.

Lin Peng took a few glances and asked, "Is Captain Jiang here today?"

"He has something to go, otherwise he wouldn't let us go home so early. Do you have anything to do with him?"

Lin Peng shook his head: "No, I'm just curious. He's a workaholic, and there are still times when he's not around."

"It seems that there is some kind of big party at home. Although our Jiang team is very approachable even if it is flirty, it is indeed a real rich third generation. Rich people always have some social gatherings that cannot be escaped. Let's go, I don't want him anymore , brother tonight I will cook you braised prawns, you have been wanting to eat them for a long time..."

Emerald Villa in Changning District.

Jiang Yi changed his police uniform and put on a sharp black suit. He changed from a hard-working criminal policeman to a brother of the Jiang family.

Jiang Yi's hometown is in a certain province in the north. His grandfather got lucky and followed his brother to engage in mining and made a fortune. Commonly known as a nouveau riche.Jiang Yi's father is a good student, and he went to a university in the south, and he also intends to stay in the south to work, so he stayed there as a teacher.The old man was determined to follow his son, so he moved his family to the south in his middle age, saying that he would retire early.

Lin Lin was right, this time it was really an inescapable entertainment.

Both Jiang Yi's parents belonged to the low-key school, and no one outside could tell that the couple was very rich.But his father is different, he does high-profile things, likes to buy fancy and expensive gadgets for everything, and also likes to show off.It is said that "being stupid is a blessing", and Mr. Jiang belongs to the kind of people who are particularly blessed and stupid.He didn't know who to listen to, saying that the feng shui of Emerald Villa was very good, and living there was good for health, so he got a trick.His taste is quite unique, and he made his home resplendent and resplendent, like a small palace, which is completely different from the quiet style of "recluse and escape from the world" that Emerald Villa advocates, and he himself is very proud of it.

If Mr. Jiang walked along Jiang Yi's way to work, it would really be called "the emperor went out of the palace for a private visit", and his body was so shiny that he would blind the uncles and aunts at the roadside stalls.

The old man also likes to watch dog blood TV series. In recent years, he has a soft spot for rich and powerful soap dramas.He himself has retired a long time ago anyway, sitting and eating, and seeing on TV that the rich people like to hold some kind of house party, he also holds a party when he has nothing to do.However, this party is to invite a bunch of irrelevant people to eat a buffet, and the final reserved dishes are pork knuckle and fancy steamed buns.

"This southerner's plate is too small to eat, and it's uncomfortable to watch! If someone wants to come to my house for dinner, then I have to talk about the noodles!"

Jiang Yi usually finds all kinds of excuses not to go.In fact, it's not that he doesn't like his grandfather, but he thinks the old man is quite cute.There are two main reasons for not going: one is that he can't stand the resplendent aesthetics of the old man's house; on the other hand, he can't see many people coming over to flatter his grandfather.

It's not that the old man doesn't understand, but he just loves to be flattered.When his family told him, he blew out his beard angrily: "That's my hobby. I like to hear good things from people, can't I!" Jiang Yi simply out of sight and out of mind.

But he's been a little busy recently, and it's true that he hasn't seen the old man for a long time.The old man took him with him for a while when he was a child, and he had a deep affection, and he missed his grandson very much.This time I called, no matter what I asked Jiang Yi to go back.

"Just say you are busy! You are always busy! Impossible, I don't believe it! You must come today! If you don't come, you are not filial!" The old man yelled these words on the phone, and Jiang Yi disappeared. temper.I really couldn't find any other excuse, so I had to come.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Lin Qiu in the crowd.

It's not to blame for Jiang Yi, among the ordinary people who wear gold and silver, and fur and mink, Lin Qiu's temperament is simple, and Jiang Yi's eyes fell on him all at once.

What surprised Jiang Yi was that Lin Qiu, who was out of place, had a good chat with Mr. Jiang, making his eyebrows and beard fly.

On such an occasion, Jiang Yi is a familiar face, and visitors who are eating and drinking usually cannot recognize him.Because of this, Jiang Yi was able to stay by himself quietly and observe the scene in the distance.

Seeing that the old man was having a good chat, he thought he might as well say hello later.Jiang Yi looked at Lin Qiu's smiling side face from a distance, and for some reason became fascinated.However, before he was distracted for too long, he was rushed up by the kind eldest aunt, who almost made him shiver with fright.

"Xiao Yi, ouch, it's been a long time since I've seen you! I don't want to talk to your aunt first!" Jiang Yi's sister-in-law's husband passed away early, and only one daughter was married abroad. In the past two years, she followed the old man to the south settle down.

"Gu, I just arrived too. I just sent the tea upstairs."

"Oh, you have a heart and you have always been filial. Why, haven't you asked your grandpa yet? Your grandpa misses you!"

Jiang Yi smiled faintly: "Grandpa is having a good chat with the guests now, so I won't disturb his elegant mood for the time being."

Auntie followed Jiang Yi's eyes and saw that it was Lin Qiu, she curled her lips.

Jiang Yi saw his aunt's unhappy face, and asked with a smile, "Gu, what's wrong with your squinting eyes?"

Auntie glanced at him complainingly: "Oh, you don't understand. Your grandpa moved here and met him for some reason when he went out. The two hit it off right away, playing chess and drinking tea together every day, your grandpa I like him very much! He’s even better than my own grandson!” The aunt rolled her eyes: “It’s all your fault, your grandpa is just your sensible grandson. You don’t come to see him all the time, it’s all right now, outside recognized one."

"A family like ours has a big business, so we should pay more attention to people with unknown origins! I was also worried about that silly old man, so I went to check on that man. It doesn't matter if you don't check, it will really shock you. That man also came from a poor place, and later made a fortune and lived here. It seems that four or five years ago, a seriously ill woman came to him with a little girl, probably to ask for debts But later I heard that the little girl was not his own, so although the man left a mother and daughter behind, he just refused to marry a woman."

"After a while, that woman died of illness. That little girl has been following this man. This man must have hurt her mother back then, and now he's coming to hurt the little girl again—" the eldest aunt lowered her voice again. Some people say, "Tsk tsk, that's a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. No, you should avoid suspicion a little bit, right? Everyone says that this man is coming to harm the next generation with his good skin! Some people say that with his own eyes Seeing this guy cuddling with a little girl, and breaking free when seeing someone. This is not a cover-up!"

"But later, for some reason, the girl moved out anyway. Later, this man came to your grandfather. This one, I don't know why, really coaxed your grandfather You are delusional!"

That little girl is probably Su Xiaoya.

Jiang Yi didn't expect to hear Lin Qiu's gossip here, and for a while, he didn't know what to say except secretly clicking his tongue.After the eldest aunt finished gossiping about Lin Qiu, she stared at Jiang Yi's face again.

"Oh, my eldest nephew, why do you have two more wrinkles on your face? It's really hard to be a policeman. How many times have I told you? It's not that the family has no money. What are you doing for that suffering! Daughter-in-law I didn't marry my son, and I didn't keep my baby. If there is any accident, what will your mother and I do!..."

The eldest aunt started talking again.Jiang Yi didn't put too much energy into his emotional life, and he had thought about it before, but he didn't have enough fate, so he let it go.There are many good people in the family who always come to talk about it, Jiang Yi goes in one ear and out the other, but he still finds it bothersome.

Seeing that Mr. Jiang over there was finally willing to let Lin Qiu go, Jiang Yi also quickly got rid of the entanglement of the eldest aunt, and brought her a large plate of pastries and stuffed her mouth. "Auntie, eat more, look at you, there are only two folds on your chin, and you are all thin, how can this work! Hurry up and eat more!"

Seeing his aunt's attention being diverted, he walked quickly towards Lin Qiu.

It seems that Lin Qiu came just to meet each other.After talking to Mr. Jiang, he went through the crowd and walked straight to the door, meaning to leave.Jiang Yi stopped Lin Qiu before he went out.

"Mr. Lin, what a coincidence."

Lin Qiu looked at Mr. Jiang, then at Jiang Yi, and understood immediately. He didn't expect that it was the same word for "Jiang".Jiang Yi is indeed more hidden than he seems.Lin Qiu showed a slightly surprised expression. "Officer Jiang, it's really a coincidence."

"Although my grandpa looks like a rustic old man, he's actually quite cute when we talk about it, isn't he?"

Lin Qiu smiled slightly. "Mr. Jiang is quite cute."

"Is it convenient to chat? It's on the small balcony, and enjoy the moon by the way." When Jiang Yi smiled, his brows were bright. At this time, the suit was straight, the shoulders were wide and the waist was narrow, and he looked like a dog, not at all wrinkled in a police uniform. Frowning with a preoccupied look.

Lin Qiu hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.
