undercurrent

Shen Qing looked through the window at the few people who had finished taking notes and were about to leave, "Wait for Team Jiang to come out."

It didn't take long, and Shen Qing looked at the somewhat dark chandelier with empty eyes.He thought, why the truth is always covered up, why there are always some extremely beautiful things and words to cover up the truth, probably because of the cruelty, filth and humanity of the truth.

People are always unable to accept those bloody and cruel truths, and will always find something less dirty to cover them up, but these superficial beauties are useless, because the truth is too bloody and can no longer be covered up.

☆、Ming Hao checks in

"Could it be that Yan Jie is the real victim?" Jiang Ziyang put the transcript on the table.

"Oh, shit. Fart." Shen Qing's voice was deep and nasal.

Jiang Ziyang was stunned, fuck me, this person can still swear.

Probably because Shen Qing gave people the impression that he was always calm and serious, making people forget that this person used to be a gangster.

But Lu Yuan laughed, this kind of seriousness was very beautiful, the sun came in and shone on his yellow hair, and he just sat there quietly, but swearing.

"How many years of domestic violence?" Shen Qing asked suddenly.

Jiang Ziyang didn't react, but the aura of deep emotion was too great, he could only answer honestly: "Those who constitute minor injuries shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years, criminal detention or surveillance, and those who constitute serious injuries shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years .”

"What about the ****?" Shen Qing looked up at Jiang Ziyang, his eyes were so determined.

"Crime of illegal detention shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than 3 years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights. Those who commit assault or insult shall be severely punished." Jiang Ziyang felt that he should ask something, but looking at Shen Qing, he still remained answering his question.

Shen Qing shook her head, "It's too light, this kind of beast should be shot directly."

Jiang Ziyang began to wonder why Shen Qing asked him this.

"Could it be!" Jiang Ziyang didn't dare to say any more, nor did he dare to think about it.

"That's right, I think Yan Jie has a serious psychopath." Shen Qing trembled, and put the truth in front of everyone. "He should have serious domestic violence tendencies, which is why Zhong Mingyan suffered from depression, and he may illegally detain Zhong Mingyan at home. Zhong Mingyan can't escape, and she can only endure this beast again and again. Torture again and again. Even Yan Minghao..." Shen Qing didn't want to go on.

He always thought of that man unconsciously in his mind.

"The time she committed suicide, she escaped, but why..." Shen Qing couldn't figure it out, "Why did she choose to commit suicide on the top of the building instead of going downstairs to call the police?" Shen Qing raised her hand and rubbed Chin down.

"What is it that makes her so desperate, so desperate to give up the self who cherishes life so much, so desperate to give up the self who loves beauty so much, and jumps from the top of the 28th floor? What is she shouting to the world?" Shen Qing My brain hurts badly.

"Okay, let's take a rest first, let yourself breathe." Lu Yuan stopped giving him a chance to think, and pulled him out.

The office was still busy, noisy and filled with cigarettes. Xiao Minghao was sitting quietly in a chair reading a book, and walked over with deep emotion.

Although Xiao Minghao is ten years old, he is small due to malnutrition. He sits on a high chair, his legs cannot touch the floor, so he can only swing back and forth.

Shen Qing stood in front of Xiao Minghao, who was watching "The Little Prince" in his hand, fascinated by surprise.

Shen Qing looked at him with a sore nose.He is so small, so soft, and can grow up healthily, so why does he have to go through these things.Human beings are inherently unfair. Shen Qing doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. He doesn't think that people will be punished for reincarnation because they did evil things in their previous life. Acting like a baby, a child loved by his father.

He couldn't help touching Yan Minghao's head, his hair was soft like a child's.

"Brother Shen Qing! You're here to pick me up!" Yan Minghao raised his head, got off the chair immediately, and stood ready to follow Shen Qing home. He was too afraid that Shen Qing would abandon him, he was too afraid of being alone, he was too scared Fear of going back to the past...

"Well, let's go home." Shen Qing took his hand.

"Then, this book..." Yan Minghao held up the half-read book and asked him if he could take it away.

Looking at him with deep affection, he bent down, "Who gave you this book?" He guided Yan Minghao little by little.

Yan Minghao pointed to Qin Lang who was busy next to him.

"Since Brother Qin Lang gave it to you, do you want to ask him for his permission?" Shen Qing asked softly.

Yan Minghao was a little at a loss, he looked at Qin Lang, then at Shen Qing.

"Go ahead and ask him, it's all right." Shen Qing's voice carried a special attraction.

Yan Minghao hesitated for a while, but Shen Qing was not in a hurry, so he stood and looked at Yan Minghao.

Yan Minghao turned around and walked towards Qin Lang.

He stood beside Qin Lang for a while, and tugged at the corner of Qin Lang's clothes with his hand.

Only then did Qin Lang see him.

"This..." Yan Minghao looked at him, his body curled up a little, "Can I see... can I pay you back..." Yan Minghao trembled a little after speaking, Shen Qing saw it all.

"Of course, I can give it to you if you like it." Qin Lang looked at the book "The Little Prince" in Yan Minghao's hand.

"Really?" Yan Minghao widened his eyes, then quickly lowered his head, "Thank you..." After speaking, he ran towards Shen Qing, as if he was afraid that Qin Lang would go back on his word.

Qin Lang saw him running over and looked over, just looking at Shen Qing, Shen Qing nodded to him with a smile.

"Are you sure you want to take him back?" Lu Yuan looked at Yan Minghao.

"Although I'm sorry to cause you trouble." Shen Qing remained expressionless, "But the child's psychology is very unstable now, so I don't worry."

"Okay." Lu Yuan shrugged, expressing that he didn't mind.

"Thank you." Shen looked at him affectionately.

Lu Yuan looked at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and leaned closer to his ear, "Thank you is not just words, my little wife." Then he went out and drove first.

Shen Qing's ears were a little red, and Lu Yuan's breath seemed to be still in his ears, a little itchy, itching to the heart.

"Let's go home." Shen Qing led Yan Minghao to the outside of the city bureau.

Xiao Minghao felt that this might be the gentlest sound he had ever heard, like the evening wind blowing across his cheeks, like sweet and sticky honey that slipped into his little heart unconsciously and beat with his little heart.

The wind in the afternoon is not as cold as in the morning. Although it is already early autumn, the wind is still warm, making Xiao Minghao just want to doze off.

"What do you want for lunch?" Lu Yuan's voice came from the driver's seat to the back.

"What does Ming Hao want to eat?" Shen Qing didn't answer Lu Yuan, he turned to ask Ming Hao who was about to fall asleep next to him.Yan Minghao woke up suddenly.

"What...anything is fine..." Xiao Minghao felt that his answer was too hasty, and continued, "I...I can eat anything...I am not a picky eater..."

"Then let's go home and eat, shall we?" Shen Qing picked up Yan Minghao's soft little hand and squeezed it.

"Well, good." Xiao Minghao nodded vigorously.

"Are you sure?! Did I hear you right?!" Lu Yuan turned his head to look at Shen Qing.

"That's right." Shen Qing pointed to the front, "Hey! Look at the road, the red light."

Lu Yuan turned his head and watched the intersection turn from green to red, and slammed on the brakes.

Due to the inertia, Shen Qing and Yan Minghao slammed forward, Shen Qing quickly protected Xiao Minghao with his eyes and hands, preventing Xiao Minghao's head from hitting the seat.

"I don't know how to cook, can I order takeaway?" Lu Yuan asked again.

"No, I remember that there is a supermarket not far from your community, let's stop there and buy some food." Shen Qing said.

"You know how to cook?" Lu Yuan couldn't believe his ears.

"Fortunately, I'm not thick-skinned enough to live and eat at other people's homes for free. I don't do anything and go to restaurants all day to order takeaway. Since I'm staying with you, I naturally have to do something." Shen Qing Take it for granted.

Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then you will do the housework, cook and take care of the children at home, and I will earn money to support the family."

Shen Qing was holding the mobile phone to see if there were any missed calls, and found that there were no missed calls, which meant that Wei Chang hadn't gotten up at all, and Shen Qing felt that only Wei Chang, who had no heart, no lungs and no brains, could do such a thing , After going through so many things, I can still sleep peacefully with my buttocks up.

He didn't realize that there was anything wrong with Lu Yuan's words, he just felt that Lu Yuan's words had no logical errors at all, and there was no basis for refutation at all, but subconsciously, Shen Qing felt that these words were extremely awkward, but he didn't know Where is the awkwardness.

If Wei Chang heard this by the side, he might have pointed at Lu Yuan and called him a rogue.

But Shen Qing couldn't think of that. After all, he has no experience in love. God endowed him with a super high IQ, but at the same time he may be a little jealous, so his EQ is relatively lower.

☆, abyss

Shen Qing was still thinking about that sentence until she got home, but she didn't know why she was still thinking about it. She obviously had no rebuttal mistakes, but she couldn't help but want to think about it.

So much so that after he entered the door, he went directly to the kitchen with the bulging supermarket shopping bag, leaving Yan Minghao in the hall.

"Well, put on your shoes and sit on the sofa for a while." Lu Yuan had never been in contact with the child, and he didn't know how to talk to Yan Minghao. He was a little blunt, "I should be able to eat in a while."

Lu Yuan doesn't know how Shen Qing's cooking skills are, and he can't guarantee it.

Then he put on his shoes and went straight into the kitchen.

Shen Qing has washed the tomatoes and is cutting them into pieces.

"How about eating noodles today?" Shen Qing didn't raise her head.

"Okay." Lu Yuan didn't care what to eat.

"Want to help?" Lu Yuan rolled up his shirt sleeves and walked in, fastening his apron.

"There are eggs over there." Shen Qing didn't raise her head, she concentrated on cutting the tomatoes, and pointed to the eggs in the plastic box next to her with her chin. "You crack a few eggs and mix well, will you?"

"This is still possible." Lu Yuan laughed at himself, picked up the egg and beat it into a bowl or stirred it.

"After finishing it, I saw that there was no boiled water in the pot." Shen Qing heated the olive oil, put the onion and ginger into the oil, and fried it until it was a bit mushy, then poured the beaten egg into it, and the egg instantly solidified into one piece The noodles were golden, and the tomatoes were poured in, and the aroma instantly filled the room, "Then you cook the noodles."

"Wow——Brother Shen, it smells so good." Wei Chang woke up at some point, ran down from the room and went straight to the kitchen, looked at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and reached out to get them.

"Go and wash your hands." Shen Qing clapped his hands away.

"Obey!" Wei Chang said and ran out, just in time to see Yan Minghao sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book.Suddenly there were more people, which frightened Wei Chang very much.

"Wow, grass, Brother Shen, there are so many people on the sofa!" Damn, he looked at Yan Minghao in a daze.

Yan Minghao looked towards Wei Chang when he heard the voice, blinking his big eyes.

Shen Qing has no time to talk to him, he is concentrating on taking out the noodles and pouring tomato and egg soup.

"It's a family member of one of the missing persons in this case. No one is taking care of them. They will stay here for a few days." Lu Yuan answered Wei Chang for Shen Qing.

"Case? What case?" Wei Chang was a little confused.

Only then did Lu Yuan remember that Wei Chang was still sleeping when they went out in the morning, so he didn't know what new things had happened.

"It's the one about the disappearance case." Lu Yuan said perfunctorily.

"Why isn't that case closed yet? Why are you police so useless?" Wei Chang looked at Lu Yuan provocatively.

Lu Yuan was so annoyed by him, "Student Wei Chang, can you pay attention to some objective facts when you speak?" Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and stretched out his finger to compare, "First, I'm not a policeman, I'm a doctor .Secondly, do you think all cases are so easy to close?"

"I remember you aren't a forensic doctor?" Wei Chang frowned.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "I am a doctor now." Lu Yuan emphasized the word "now".

"Okay, you guys, come here and get the bowls and chopsticks." Just as Wei Chang wanted to refute something, Shen Qing ruthlessly interrupted the two of them.

The two glared at each other, didn't speak any more, and went to take the bowl angrily.

"Ming Hao, come over for dinner." Shen Qing put the bowl on the dining table, and the heat filled the air, "Go wash your hands first, the bathroom is there." Shen Qing pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

The aroma permeated the entire restaurant. Lu Yuan was not hungry at first, but when he saw the soft and glutinous noodles covered with golden eggs and tomatoes, he suddenly had an appetite.

Yan Minghao obediently went to wash his hands, and when he sat on the chair, he saw that Lu Yuan and Wei Chang had already started eating.

"Brother Shen—it's still delicious." Wei Chang was so hot that he grinned and wanted to praise Shen Qing. He knew that Shen Qing's cooking was delicious, so he only ate it a few times.

"Eat your meal." Shen Qing interrupted him.

Wei Chang ate very quickly, and immediately went to fill another bowl after one bowl.But Shen Qing was still eating slowly.Lu Yuan felt that nothing could make Shen Qing go faster, even if a missile bombed down, Shen Qing might slow down.

"I told Wei Chang, eat less and don't eat accumulated food again." Shen Qing hadn't finished half of the bowl, and Wei Chang's second bowl was almost bottomed out.

Lu Yuan looked at Wei Chang who was gobbling his mouth full, then at Yan Minghao who wanted to eat faster but had a small mouth, and finally at Shen Qing who was eating slowly.

The hot steam in the rice bowl filled the entire restaurant, and the air was filled with humidity. Lu Yuan felt that his heart was also moist at this moment.

How long has it been, how long has it been since a family has a lively meal?Lu Yuan can't remember when he felt this way before, since... since...

Lu Yuan was inexplicably sad, he sighed and forced himself not to think about it.

"I...can I have another bowl?" Xiao Minghao looked at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing smiled and nodded, "Of course, there are noodles in the small pot on the left, and sauce in the slightly larger pot on the right, can you do it yourself?" Shen Qing's voice was as gentle as spring water, refreshing.

Xiao Minghao nodded vigorously, "Yes, I can." After speaking, he took the bowl and went to the kitchen.

"Ah—am I the person you love the most—why don't you speak—Brother Shen, you don't love me anymore!" Wei Chang felt so wronged at this moment, "Why can he still eat!"

"Are you still young? People are growing their bodies, are you still growing?" Shen Qing continued to eat slowly, one sentence made Wei Chang speechless.

"Ah - you just don't love me anymore -" Wei Chang didn't respond, and could only talk wildly.

"Shut up." Shen Qing frowned.

Wei Chang immediately shut up, he knew that when Shen Qing said "shut up", she was about to lose her temper.But he still felt wronged, so he could only whisper to himself.

Lu Yuan pushed the empty bowl to Wei Chang who was humming, "You can clean the dishes today, and you didn't help with the cooking."

Wei Chang knew he was wrong, he wore someone's hands short and his mouth was soft, not to mention that he still lives in someone's house, so it's not impossible to wash a bowl.He had no choice but to wait for everyone to finish eating, then picked up a stack of bowls and a pair of chopsticks, and mumbled into the kitchen.

"Ming Hao" looked at him deeply, "Are you tired?"

Minghao shook his head quickly, in fact he was really tired, but he dared not sleep, he was afraid that all this was an illusion, he was afraid that all this was just a beautiful and fragile dream he had, he was afraid that he would wake up He was still in that cold and empty room, on that wet and dirty bed, without steaming meals, and without the gentle and considerate elder brother Shen Qing, he was afraid that when he looked up, he would see that familiar face, that man's face.

"No... I'm not tired... I'm not tired..." Xiao Minghao was a little afraid that Shen Qing would let him go to sleep.

"Then let's go to the sofa, it's more comfortable there." Shen Qing said and led Yan Minghao to sit on the sofa. Beside Yan Minghao was the unclosed "The Little Prince". By the time the little prince came to the desert.

The sofa in Lu Yuan's house is big, leather, and a bit cool, and it looks empty when Shen Qing and Yan Minghao sit on it.

"Ming Hao" Shen Qing held Yan Ming Hao's hand, that hand was soft, probably because he had just finished eating, it was not as cold and warm as in the city bureau.

Shen Qing put one hand on Yan Minghao's head and ran along his soft black hair, "Can you tell me what happened to you and your mother?" Shen Qing cut to the point, and kept his voice the softest.

Shen Qing obviously felt that Xiao Minghao's body was a little bit stiff, and his body began to tremble. A pair of big eyes stared straight, out of focus, abnormally hollow, those eyes instantly turned red, and tears rolled down from them.

Shen Qing's heart seemed to be pinched by someone, it was extremely painful, he knew that Xiao Minghao was not feeling well now, but there was no way, he had to know what happened, what made Zhong Mingyan give up his life, the only way, Only then can he help Xiao Minghao.

Shen Qing wiped away the tears on Yan Minghao's face with her fingertips, "Minghao, tell me, your father..."

Before Shen Qing finished speaking, Xiao Minghao trembled even more. He stretched out his hands to cover his ears, and tears began to fall down. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't yell out anything.

Everything in front of Yan Minghao's eyes became blurred, like cracks in a glass mirror torn out fine lines, what was broken into ashes, and gradually overlapped again, bringing Yan Minghao into the boundless darkness.

——Minghao, come here, come here, don’t be afraid, come here

Xiao Minghao was crying in a mess. He was surrounded by smashed stools and TVs. A stench and damp smell permeated the whole room.

He looked up at the face of the man in front of him, he was smiling, but his voice sounded like the cry of a scary animal to Xiao Minghao, and he took a step back trembling.

——Minghao, what are you doing, are you still here?Don't want to save your mother?

The man pointed to the woman lying on the ground next to her. She was covered in wounds and lay dying on the ground.

——Minghao, don't worry...Mom, go...go to your room...

The woman's voice was intermittent, and before she finished speaking, she only felt a severe pain in her abdomen, and the man kicked her aside violently.

——Come here!Do you still want your mother!

The man was a little angry, and Xiao Minghao was crying so hard, he looked at the woman on the ground who had only breathed out and barely breathed in, and walked over tremblingly.

The man picked up Xiao Minghao and put him on the bed, and leaned over to press him down.

——That's good, Minghao

☆、Psychological trauma

"Minghao, Minghao!" Shen Qing's voice finally brought Xiao Minghao back to reality, he looked at Shen Qing, reached out and hugged him tightly.

"Wow——" he finally cried out, and Shen Qing felt relieved, the way Yan Minghao only exhaled but not inhaled just now scared him into a cold sweat.

He slowly patted Xiao Minghao on the back, giving him comfort, "Good boy, don't want to, we don't want to." He felt that Xiao Minghao gradually stopped trembling, "Brother's fault, brother won't force you, we don't want to anymore. "

I don't know how long it took, but Yan Minghao was tired from crying and fell asleep directly.Shen Qing carried him into her room, he put Yan Minghao on the bed, covered the quilt, and closed the door softly.

Lu Yuan was at the door, and Wei Chang was standing next to Lu Yuan. Yan Minghao's behavior just now scared them all.Wei Chang didn't even dare to speak.

"That won't work." Shen Qing shook his head, "Yan Minghao should have severe post-traumatic stress disorder, so he can't ask anything at all. It can be seen that Yan Jie, that bastard, must have done something so serious that Yan Minghao couldn't even think about it. It's going to happen when you wake up."

Wei Chang didn't understand what Shen Qing was talking about, he just felt that a quiet and well-behaved child became like that after he came out after washing the dishes, "Brother Shen, what is that trauma or obstacle?"

Shen Qing sighed, "Post-traumatic stress disorder refers to an individual who experiences, witnesses, or encounters one or more actual deaths involving himself or others, or is threatened with death, or is seriously injured, or has physical integrity compromised. Delayed onset and persistent mental disturbance in individuals following the threat."

Of course Wei Chang still didn't understand.

"That is to say, Yan Minghao has suffered some inhuman treatment before, and it should not be as simple as ordinary domestic violence." Shen Qing rubbed his temples.

"Is there any other way?" Lu Yuan looked at Shen Qing with a low voice.

"I can't think of it yet." Shen Qing shook her head.

He was tired, not because he couldn't know the truth before, but because he was afraid, he was afraid that he would lose control if he knew the dirty and bloody truth, if he could, he really didn't want to know what the truth was all his life, He really wanted to use his whole life to make up for all the wounds in Xiao Minghao's heart before.

He knew that he had to be careful and patient, and he had to carefully mend Xiao Minghao's wounded heart little by little.like... like...

A handsome face full of cracks and wounds appeared in front of Shen Qing's eyes. The pair of phoenix eyes were very similar to him, smiling at him gently, with the vicissitudes of years ruthlessly polished.

Just like his mother did to him...

The whole afternoon, Shen Qing sat on the sofa, he didn't turn on the TV or open newspapers and magazines, he just sat and watched "The Little Prince" which no one had touched on the sofa, the content still stayed on that page, little The prince was looking for the rose, and was talking to the snake.

Maybe this is the reason why I like the little prince, he is innocent and kind, carefree, pure and simple, far away from the adult soul of the secular world of greed and desire.

Xiao Minghao, why on earth, what is it that makes you so afraid of this secular world.

"Are you going to bed?" Lu Yuan held a blanket in his hand and draped it over his body. He shook his head deeply, and looked up at the watch on the wall. It was already eight o'clock, and time always passed so fast.

"I don't know what's going on with Captain Jiang." Shen Qing sighed.

Lu Yuan naturally knew what he was talking about, "Don't worry, you will find it, everything in the world has the law of energy conservation, and the bad things he did will eventually come back to himself."

Shen Qing shook his head, he didn't believe in this kind of karma, he only believed in the objective society, good people were tortured because they were too kind, while evil people, like the rats and maggots in the gutter, were still alive and well.

"Actually, I thought of a way." Shen Qing looked up at Lu Yuan, his eyes were red, but he was still so firm.He looks really beautiful, Lu Yuan thought so.

"But I've never tried this method before. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that something will go wrong." Shen Qing lowered her head again, with her right hand resting on her forehead.

"How do you know it won't work if you don't try it?" Lu Yuan's voice was deep but magnetic.

——How do you know you can’t do it if you don’t try it?my child

The voices penetrated the barrier of time and began to overlap. Shen Qing seemed to see the woman talking to him gently. The wind blew gently and messed up her beautiful long hair. She stretched out her hand to pin her hair behind her ears. Very deeply, she smiled at him.

- Children, go with yourself, don't be disturbed by other things

"Shen Qing, Shen Qing?" Lu Yuan didn't know when he was sitting opposite him, calling him softly.

Shen Qing looked at him, he knew he was distracted.

"I'll try." Shen Qing smiled at Lu Yuan, his face was pale and tired.

The minute hand moved slowly, making a half-circle.Shen Qing heard movement in her room, it seemed that Yan Minghao had woken up.

"Brother Shen? Brother Shen?" Xiao Minghao looked at the dark room, he was afraid, he was afraid that he had a dream, he whispered, tears fell down again, his eyes were red and swollen, he was afraid that it wasn't Shen who came in Love, but the face in the nightmare.

The door opened, and the light from the living room outside came in. Xiao Minghao felt that his breathing was about to stop at that moment, until Shen Qing sat by the bed and reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, his eyes were full of worry, " Why are you crying again?"

Xiao Minghao cried loudly, he put his arms around Shen Qing's neck, and leaned his head on Shen Qing's shoulder, "I thought... I thought I was... dreaming... I'm so afraid that you will wake up when I wake up." there is none left……"

Shen Qing's heart was about to break, he patted Xiao Minghao's back, "It's not a dream, it's not a dream, I'm here, I'll always be here..."

Until Yan Minghao sat on the sofa, his nose was still twitching.

Shen Qing sat next to him, Lu Yuan sat on the sofa opposite them, and Wei Chang sat beside him and yawned. He was already asleep, but Yan Minghao cried so loudly and heartbreakingly that even his We were all woken up.

"Minghao, how about we play a game?" Shen Qing tore off a blank piece of paper from the book next to her, picked up a pen and put it on the coffee table in front of Xiao Minghao.

"What... a game?" Xiao Minghao had a snot bubble in his nose. After all, he was still a child, so he was certainly interested in hearing about the game.

"You come to draw and I'll guess, okay?" Shen Qing handed him the pen, "Can you draw a house, a tree and a person, okay? Let brother see how you draw?"

"Then...then what are you going to guess?" Xiao Minghao asked him uneasily, he didn't know what Shen Qing meant, he just felt uneasy, he didn't want Shen Qing to know what happened to him before, he was afraid of Shen Qing Will despise him, will abandon him.

"My... Let me guess if you studied hard and listened carefully at school." Shen Qing told him softly.

"I... I listened carefully to the class." Xiao Minghao's voice became smaller and smaller, he picked up the pen and began to draw seriously.

Shen Qing looked at his painting, but her expression became more and more serious.

Neither Lu Yuan nor Wei Chang knew exactly what happened, but their intuition and solemn atmosphere told them that things were not good.

Xiao Minghao drew stroke by stroke, but Shen Qing felt that the strokes were cutting his throat one by one like a knife, making him almost suffocate.

Xiao Minghao finally finished the last stroke, he looked up at Shen Qing, a little puzzled, put down the pen with his little hand and wiped away the tears on Shen Qing's face in a panic, "Brother Shen, why are you crying, don't cry, Minghao really You have to listen carefully to the class."

Shen Qing didn't know when he couldn't control his tears, was it when Xiao Minghao was painting the house?Or when Xiao Minghao painted the tree?

Shen Qing hugged Xiao Minghao and held him tightly in her arms, "Minghao don't worry, brother is fine." Shen Qing cried harder, her voice trembling, "Brother...brother just feels relieved...my brother Xiao Minghao, how can you be so strong..."

☆、Missing person

Xiao Minghao, I can't make you forgive this world, because it's really too cruel for you. When you feel the colors here, in a blink of an eye, you see the dirtiest darkness in this world.Xiao Minghao, even though you have experienced all the dirty darkness, your heart is still as bright as summer flowers. Don't worry, I will always be with you.

"Brother Shen, can you not leave, I... I will be scared." Xiao Minghao lay on the bed, holding Shen Qing tightly with his little hands.

"I won't leave, Minghao, I won't leave, I will always be with you, go to sleep." Shen Qing stretched out her hand to smooth the bangs on Xiao Minghao's forehead.

Xiao Minghao seemed relieved after hearing Shen Qing's promise. He closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became steady. Tight, as if grasping the last straw, the last light and hope.

Shen Qing slowly opened Xiao Minghao's hand and put it under the quilt. Xiao Minghao slept very deeply, even so he still didn't wake up.

Maybe he never slept well, Shen Qing thought, looking at Yan Minghao who was sleeping soundly.

The light from the small desk lamp in front of the bed is soft. Xiao Minghao has fair skin, a soft face, big eyes, and thick long eyelashes cast shadows on his face. His mouth is also small, but he is pitifully thin, with dark circles under his eyes. Very heavy.

He stood up slowly, went out and closed the door softly.

He saw that Lu Yuan was still sitting on the sofa, holding the painting by Yan Minghao in his hand, and Wei Chang was frowning and studying the painting next to him.

He walked down slowly and sat on the sofa. The long hours of high-intensity mental thinking and the blow of the truth made his whole body feel light. He felt like he was dreaming, a continuous and uninterrupted nightmare.

"Take Ming Hao to the hospital tomorrow morning." Shen Qing's voice broke the eerie silence in the living room, and he found that his voice was very hoarse, probably because of crying just now.

"His body..." Shen Qing couldn't bear to go on. "He must have been in pain at the time, his body was in pain, and his heart was even more painful."

"What's going on? You know everything, right?" Although Lu Yuan asked him again, his tone seemed to be stating a fact. Shen Qing understood what he meant, and finally had to say it.

"Pictures are naturally an effective tool for self-expression. It is a direct tool to express our subconsciousness. A picture is a projection technique that can reflect people's inner and subconscious information." Shen Qing began to narrate a little bit, the voice was very soft , but very heavy. "Painting therapy is based on psychological projection, helping visitors to "transfer" unacceptable aspects of themselves to others and their works, express their emotions and experiences through creation of works, so as to relieve tension and get rid of psychological anxiety and problem behaviors trouble."

Shen Qing sighed, and the breath was very, very long.

"That is to say, through this painting, Minghao showed me all the dirty and bloody truths he experienced before."

Lu Yuan didn't know whether it was because of the atmosphere or because of his intuition, he felt that the truth would overwhelm him.Wei Chang sat beside him, frowning, quietly waiting for the truth to come.

The truth is always intertwined like an ancient tree. If you find a root that is unfortunately exposed outside, you can grab it and uproot it, but the process is too difficult and cruel. It is a surging undercurrent, full of murderous intentions.

In the middle of the night, the city bureau is brightly lit, and everyone is busy, busy checking the surveillance cameras, searching for a figure they want to see from hundreds of surveillance cameras, busy recording statements, and bothering to distinguish between true and false .

"Team Jiang! A man's corpse was found in the woods next to National Highway 367!" There was a stabbing voice from the walkie-talkie, as if it was going to pierce the eardrum.
