never forget [criminal investigation]

The sun rose as usual, another sunny day.

After sending Xiang Hai downstairs, Xing Yue went home by himself.

After entering the door, he fell headlong into the sofa.He wants to hurry up and get some sleep.

Before he fell asleep, he set an alarm clock.Only then did he drop the phone, grabbed it again, and sent Qin Peng a WeChat message with his eyelids open:

- Erhe is still watching Li Dongxing in the hospital, you will find someone to replace him later.

Almost as soon as the send button was pressed, the person fell asleep with the phone hitting his chest.

For two hours, piles of broken dreams were squeezed into my mind, like a kaleidoscope, bizarre and fragmented.

Sleep was restless, his eyelashes fluttering.

Sometimes, Luo Meihua grabbed Xing Yiqing's clothes and shouted hoarsely, "Are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of me?" Sometimes the phone was connected, and Luo Meihua's trembling voice came from inside, "Xing Yue, you, come back Let's go. Your dad, maybe, can't do it anymore." Sometimes on the dark roof, facing the wind, Xing Yiqing turned his back, and seemed to be talking, but he couldn't hear clearly.He yelled "Dad!" to the back figure. In a blink of an eye, the back figure turned into Xiang Hai again, still standing on the top of the building, facing the abyss.

Every dream is related to him, but he can only watch each set of fragments.

There's even a performance in his own right.

The homeroom teacher took the application form he had filled out, and persuaded him earnestly, "Xing Yue, think again, your grades are so good, add a few more schools, huh?"

The boy didn't speak, and the teacher was very helpless, "Why are you so stubborn, why did you apply to this university?"

Xing Yue watched the boy turn his gaze back, and moved his lips, but he still couldn't hear what he said.

The alarm clock on the mobile phone finally rang, pulling him out of the fragmented dream.

Turning off the alarm clock, he rested his arms heavily on his eyes.

Fuck, it's fucking better not to sleep.

Lying down again and panting for a while, Xing Yue sat up abruptly, took his mobile phone and dangled to the balcony.

After lighting a cigarette, he called Luo Meihua.

"Mom." When the phone was picked up, he was the first to say hello.

"Xing Yue," Luo Meihua's flat voice came from the phone, "what's the matter?"

"That," Xing Yue kept his tone as natural as possible, "I want to go there at noon, can you tell Auntie Du to ask her to add more food?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, as if surprised, but he quickly said, "Okay, I'll talk to her later."

"I'll be there at twelve o'clock, which is the time you usually eat."

"can."

"Mom, do you have a lunch box? It's best to have a heat preservation function."

Luo Meihua was quiet again, Xing Yue quickly explained, "I'll pack some food and leave, I won't eat there."

"Oh." Luo Meihua's tone remained unchanged, "There is a lunch box, I will find it for you later."

"Well, thank you Mom." After Xing Yue finished speaking, he was quiet for a moment.In fact, he still wanted to ask, can Aunt Du make soup?A little more fragrant, it is best to cook with pork ribs.But in the end, he still didn't say it.

"Xing Yue," Luo Meihua asked suddenly when he heard that there was no movement on his side, "Do you have a date?"

Xing Yue was so excited that he almost threw the phone on the ground.

What's the situation?Did you write the fact that you have a partner on your face?

Zhang Xiaowei's idiot asked, that's all, after all, we meet every day, and that person likes to gossip.

But what's going on with Luo Meihua?I can't see her once or twice a week, and she's like a non-human extermination teacher, and she's still separated by phone.Just like this, can you tell that you have a partner?

"But the problem is, neither do I fucking have one!" At least not yet... right now.

This sense of loss at both ends makes him very depressed.

"No." He said truthfully, "It's just a friend of mine who was injured a little bit because of me, so I wanted to bring him something to eat."

"Oh." Luo Meihua didn't seem to care much about the answer to this question either.She asked, and he answered, the topic is over, "Okay, then come over at twelve noon, I'll ask Auntie Du to leave a meal for you."

"Yes." Xing Yue agreed, and both parties hung up the phone.

After standing on the balcony and smoking for a while, he still decided to call Aunt Du again.

Auntie Du is in her fifties, she is very kind, and she smiles every time she sees him.Praise him for being handsome and tall, and even remembering his birthday.

Every year and festival, Xing Yue would give her red envelopes.It doesn't cost much, it's just a thought.Said that he still missed her, and thanked others for remembering him.

"Xing Yue," Aunt Du was still smiling on the phone, "It's been a long time since I saw you, have you forgotten about Auntie?"

"How can it be?" Xing Yue also smiled, "I've been very busy recently, so I didn't go there."

"Yo, then don't you eat well again? Have you lost weight again?" Aunt Du sighed, "Your job is also a pain in the ass."

Xing Yue pursed his lips, "No, I'm fine, I'm not thin, I'm fat."

"Aunt Du, I called my mother just now. I'm going back at noon and I want to have a meal."

"Hey, you child, what are you talking about eating when you go home." Aunt Du asked him happily, "Tell me, what do you want to eat, and Auntie will make it for you! Do you like ribs? Fish? Or, Braised pork?"

"Auntie, I want to drink pork ribs and winter melon soup." Xing Yue blurted out, but suddenly his nose felt sore, and his voice trembled a little.

Damn, this hurdle is hard to pass.

"Okay!" Aunt Du agreed, "That's easy to say. Do you want anything else?"

"No more," Xing Yue took a deep breath, "But Auntie, I have to pack the food and take it away, so I won't eat it at home."

"Oh, okay." The voice on the phone was slightly disappointed, "Where you eat it will be different, just eat it."

"It's a friend of mine, also a policeman, who was injured. Your cooking is delicious, and I want to bring it to him." Xing Yue still didn't hide anything.

"Hey, Xing Yue, this is you, you have a date?" Aunt Du's tone was a little excited, a little bit like gossip, "Are you also a policeman? Are you in the same unit? How old are you? Why are you still injured?" What? How did you fix it? Is it serious? What kind of supplement should you eat?"

"Auntie...Auntie," Xing Yue was almost speechless, "No, not the object."

"Not...not yet."

The other end of the phone laughed, as if he was embarrassed to admit it, "Okay, if not, you should hold on tighter, you're not young anymore."

"Okay." Xing Yue agreed on the phone.

hold on tight... hold on tight...

After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to the refrigerator to get the coffee that Xiang Hai had stored for him.

Only to find that the fridge was almost empty again.There is only one big watermelon left.

So he took out the watermelon.The melon rind is attached to the hot skin, and it feels cool.

The watermelon was just ripe, and when the blade touched it, it split open with a "click".

Xing Yue cut the watermelon halfway down, and the red flesh was full of water.

He picked up half of it, sat down at the dining table, and ate it bite by bite with a spoon.

"Hey, Team Xing, you're here!" Seeing Xing Yue appearing at the door, everyone in the room was quite surprised.

"I thought you had a rest today." Qin Peng walked over and said, "When you sent me a message this morning, it was almost six o'clock. You didn't go home until then, did you?"

Xing Yue wanted to yawn, but tried his best to hold it back, his eyes turned red, "It's about the same."

"Then why don't you rest at home?" Qin Peng felt that he was not in a good condition, he looked listless, and his speech speed was half a beat slow.

"Come here and have a look." He looked around, "Where's Old Tang?"

"I just got a call and went out." Qin Peng said, "Captain Xing, I heard that the disturbance was quite scary last night. Li Dongxing and his wife were hung outside?"

"Yeah." Xing Yue didn't really want to bring up what happened last night, so he answered slowly, "Is everything over with Li Zhen?"

"It's over, everything that needs to be explained has been explained. The next step is to see how the court judges."

"Okay." Xing Yue agreed, walked to the chair, and sat in with all his heart, causing the chair to creak.

"Captain Xing, I think you'd better go back and rest. There's nothing wrong with you today." Qin Peng felt that something was wrong the more he looked at it. He was not like this usually.

Xing Yue glanced at the phone, "Wait a while, it's not time yet."

Qin Peng couldn't understand what he said, and was about to persuade him again, when Old Tang came in from the door.

"Hey, Team Xing, you're here, just in time."

Following the voice, Xing Yue turned his head and saw Old Tang walking towards him with a little girl beside him.

He frowned slightly, it was the little girl from yesterday, Li Dongxing's daughter, called... Li Mo, why is she here?

The little girl was quite short and thin, wearing a fat school uniform and holding a small bag in her hand, she followed closely behind Old Tang, looking at her toes.

"Just now when I was downstairs, I ran into this little girl wandering around the door by herself. She said she was looking for you, but she didn't dare to come up." Old Tang introduced, then turned around and led Li Mo forward, " Little girl, didn't you say you were looking for Team Xing? This is it."

Li Mo raised his eyes, Xing Yue stood up from the chair and walked towards her.Li Mo raised his head following his gaze.

Perhaps because the angle was too wide, she couldn't help but took two steps back when she met Xing Yue's gaze.

Xing Yue was depressed for a moment.

Yesterday, I heard this little girl call Xiang Haige one by one, don't mention how close she is.He watched her pounce into Xiang Hai's arms again, crying so much that her nose and tears rubbed against him.How did I get here? It's like seeing a ghost.

They are all policemen, so is there such a big difference?Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with it...

"Hello." So he took the initiative to greet her, "I'm Xing Yue. What do you need from me?"

He said and held out his hand to her.If you have to work hard enough, if you are so enthusiastic about yourself, the little girl should get closer to him.

Li Mo looked up at him again, then at his hand, and it took him a long time to react.So she reached out her hand and shook it with him.

Xing Yue clicked his tongue inwardly, why is this kid's hands so small, the size is like a joke.

After being polite, he asked, "What do you want from me?"

Li Mo didn't say anything, just moved his eyes and looked around the whole office.

Xing Yue said, "Why don't we talk about it in another place." After speaking, he led her out of the office door.

But after going around several conference rooms, they were all occupied. In the end, there was really nowhere to go, so Li Mo was led into the observation room.

The little girl sat in a chair, looked around, and finally her eyes fell on a large pane of glass on the wall.

Sitting opposite her, Xing Yue saw that she seemed interested in the glass wall, so he took the initiative to introduce, "You can see the person on the other side of the glass, but the person on the other side can't see you."

Li Mo looked back and said, "I seem to have seen it on TV."

Xing Yue stood up, opened the door, went out, entered the interrogation room next door, waved his hand at the mirror on the wall, and then turned back.

"Did you see me just now?" Xing Yue asked Li Mo.

"Saw."

"Then go next door and try it yourself." Xing Yue could see that the little girl's eyes were bright.

Li Mo pursed his lips, got up and went to the next door.In the interrogation room, he looked at the table, touched the chair, and finally stared at the mirror.Following Xing Yue's example, he waved to himself in the mirror.

Back in the observation room, Xing Yue asked her, "Can you see me?"

Li Mo cocked his mouth and shook his head, "I really can't see it."

"But I saw you. You waved your hand twice. It was your left hand. Didn't you?"

The little girl's eyes flickered, she nodded again, and she didn't look so nervous anymore.

But soon, his eyes dimmed again, "Officer Xing, I heard Brother Erhe said yesterday that Brother Xiang Hai was injured. I sent him a WeChat message this morning, but he didn't reply. I didn't dare to call him."

Xing Yue raised his eyebrows.

Brother Xiang Hai...Brother Erhe...Xing, officer...OK, OK.

"Brother Xiang Hai is sleeping, I probably didn't hear you."

Li Mo lowered his head, "Then, is he seriously injured?"

Is it serious?How should I put it, scorers.Xiang Hai himself said it was fine, and the little nurse in the hospital also said it was fine, but let Xing Yue say, "This person can't take care of himself anymore, do you think it's serious?"

"It's not serious, don't worry, just scratch the skin." Xing Yueyan comforted him insincerely.It can be seen that the little girl is worried about Xiang Hai, so don't add fuel to the fire.And Xiang Hai probably doesn't want the little girl to worry about him.

Li Mo sniffed, his eyes buried deep in his bangs, "It's all my fault."

"What's your fault? He's a cop, and that's his job. Scrubbing is nothing." Tsk tsk, listen, tsk tsk tsk.

"However, he didn't go to work at first, so I called him here."

Oh it's you!

"It's so late, brother Xiang Hai must be sleeping. I think his clothes are all reversed." Li Mo said more and more sadly.

Um? ?This must be written down, Xing Yue thought.Then find a suitable opportunity to tell Xiang Hai, and see what he does then, raise an argument.

"It has nothing to do with what time it is, and it has nothing to do with you." Xing Yue said with a serious expression, "As long as he is still a policeman, this is what he should do."

"As for you, what you should do now is to study hard, and take care of yourself and your mother. You don't have to think about anything else."

"What grade are you in this year?"

Li Mo raised his eyes, a little dazed, "Junior, sophomore."

"The high school entrance exam next year?" Xing Yue glanced at the time on his phone, "It's not the weekend, why don't you go to school at this point? Your teacher asked you to come out?"

Li Mo wrinkled his face and shrank back, "I didn't ask the teacher for leave."

"Skipping class?" Xing Yue glared, "You are about to pass the senior high school entrance examination, and you still dare to cut class, you are very brave."

"Brother Xiang Hai back then, ah, you were very good at studying, and you never missed class."

Xing Yue decided to beat the little girl up.A junior high school student, if he doesn't go to school, is that okay?

Li Mo pouted, and carried the bag under his feet to the table, "I see."

"I just want to ask how Brother Xiang Hai is. Brother Erhe told me that you were with Brother Xiang Hai yesterday, so I think... thank you, Officer Xing, and Brother Xiang Hai."

As she spoke, she peeled open the pocket little by little, and a small piece of green came out of it.When the pocket was completely removed, a flower pot the size of a palm was revealed.

She pushed the flower pot and the bag towards Xing Yue, "I want to thank brother Xiang Hai, he is so kind to me, but I don't have anything..."

Li Mo tried his best to hold back his tears, but his voice was trembling, "I think he likes flowers, but I also don't have money to buy beautiful flowers. I just bought this."

In the small flower pot is a green cactus, with thorns all over its head, lying round and round in the middle of the soil.On the side, there are two fingernail-sized small flowers made of plastic, which are also inserted in the soil.

"Officer Xing, can you give this to Brother Xiang Hai for me? Then, thank him for me."

Xing Yue pulled the bag over, picked up the small flower pot, and held it in his palm.

It turns out that he likes flowers... I don't even know it.That's right, isn't there just flowers on his balcony.

"Okay, I will give it to him for you."

"Officer Xing, I don't know what you like, so..." Li Mo was a little embarrassed.Thanks to two people, I only brought a gift.

Xing Yue's eyes bent, "Coincidentally, I also like flowers."

He gently put the little prickly prickly pear back on the table, "This, consider it a gift from you both."
