The days when I was a bunny in a wealthy family
Chapter 39 Interrogation Room
Boston
Strange
All the evidence points to one of Qin Yifeng's former subordinates, malicious transactions, deliberately giving up huge benefits, guns hidden in the ankles in advance, bizarre bar concerts, and biological drug residues on the rim of wine glasses objects, and the dissolving of the corpses after the murder in the villa...
The number one suspect swallowed a bullet and died after committing the crime. The case was almost a foregone conclusion, but after the police found Qin Lang upstairs where the crime happened, everything went haywire.
At that time, the boy was wearing house slippers, with disheveled hair and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like an Internet addicted boy who was playing with things and lost his mind. He walked out under the watchful eyes of the police, crossed the cordon, and stopped in front of a pool of stinking corpses.
"What is this?" The boy frowned, and stretched out a hand to touch it, but was stopped by the policeman quickly.
"It's a corpse."
The young man looked blank, and someone translated it for him.
"what."
"The deceased Qin Yiyi, male, 24 years old..."
The boy's pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole body began to tremble abnormally.The surroundings were chaotic, the furniture was scattered, and the ground was covered with blood-stained fragments. The boy wanted to stand up, but he swayed and fell into the bloody water sullenly.
Someone caught him, and the scene fell into chaos again.The police officer quickly pressed his neck and heart, and finally woke him up. The boy's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had been holding back for a long time, and he vomited out with a loud wow.
.........
In a police station in Boston, an undercover officer hung up an international call.
"What did you say over there?"
"The suspect cannot be released, there is evidence that the kid knew something."
"Then when will we have the trial?"
"The interrogation is now." The plainclothes called the interrogation room, and turned to ask the assistant: "Have the three groups returned? What did the bar say?"
"I asked a lot of people, and they said the same thing. They all said they didn't know where those people came from. Only one pianist gave a different statement."
"Why is it different?"
"The pianist is of Chinese descent, and said that he heard a few passages of the victim's previous words in the bathroom."
"Show it to me first!"
trial room
A hat was pressed on the boy's head, his pale hands were clenched, and his lips were drawn into a sharp straight line.He was wearing baggy clothes with the cuffs pulled down so that the silver handcuffs on his wrists were barely visible.
A tall plainclothes criminal policeman walked in and stood beside him. The police officer in charge of translation kept recording something with a pen.
"You have read the property division document."
Qin Lang squinted his eyes, and immediately said: "I have seen it."
"You know that all of your father's property is about to be transferred to your brother's name."
"know."
The two officers looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"Little brother, don't be afraid. You are not full now. If you can prove that you are completely ignorant, you will not be held criminally responsible." The translator read in unproficient Chinese, then bent down and patted him tight shoulders.
"I'm not afraid." Qin Lang relaxed a little.
"Qin Yiyi died around 02:30 in the morning. You didn't take the initiative to contact the police. What happened at that time, can you tell us?"
"I didn't know he was dead."
"Who went to your house the day before the incident."
"A lot of people, I don't know, I've been playing games."
"Little brother, as far as I know, the games on your computer were only installed in the past week, and only one bag of game consoles was purchased a long time ago. We retrieved your game records, and you don't seem to be very good at playing games." Let's play."
Qin Lang was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, the handcuffs vibrated slightly, making a metallic sound, he smiled and said, "So, are you laughing at me?"
"No
have.The day before the incident, you two had a quarrel in the hospital. Was it because of your father's will? "
"That's right. I'm not convinced. I think it's normal. I'm also a son. Why should I leave the house completely?"
"A total of twelve bullet casings were found at the scene of the crime, that is, at least twelve shots were fired. The sound insulation effect of the room is not good. Did you really hear nothing, or are you angry and unwilling to call the police?"
"I didn't hear that, I was playing a shootout game."
If Qin Lang was a bit cramped when he was first sent in, it can be said that he is very relaxed now. He stretched his legs forward, pressed against the small space, leaned his shoulders casually on the back of the chair, raised his eyes and asked, "What is that?" Let me out when it's time, it's uncomfortable to sleep here."
"Little brother, one last question. Do you understand what your father and brother are doing?"
"which aspect?"
"Smuggling and gun trafficking."
"Isn't there still making drugs?"
The police officer in charge of the translation was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and translated the original words.
"how do you know?"
The issue of drug production is sensitive, and it is also the highlight of this interrogation.The psychologists originally planned to stay at the end and wait for him to ask questions when his mental tension passed and his mind was most vulnerable and helpless, but unexpectedly the child raised it on his own initiative.
There are only two explanations for this situation. Either the young man has nothing to do with this incident, or he has a perfect retreat so that the police can't produce enough evidence to convict him.
Judging from the current confession, this boy is really not as simple as he imagined.
"My brother drank too much before and mentioned it to me. He said it was a synthetic drug. I can't remember what it was called chlorammonia."
Neither of the officers looked very good, let alone the recording officers behind the partition.
"Since you know, why didn't you call the police immediately? Was it threatened?"
"That's not true, but I didn't believe him. He used to drink too much and told me that he was captured and raped by aliens."
"...You mean, he was talking drunk, right?"
"That's how I felt at the time."
"According to the insider's confession, it is said that the night before Qin Yiyi's death, he received news of your father's death in the bathroom, and then immediately called again to ask his subordinates to kill you."
"Heh." Qin Lang laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"He's like this, suspicious, always thinking that my father will give me all the property, and it's normal to want to kill me."
"Since you know, you don't have the idea to strike first?"
"I can't beat him."
"...Okay, let's not talk about this for now. We found a temporary number in your room, and there is only one person in contact with it. Would you like to disclose the other person's name?"
Qin Lang was silent for a while, then nodded.
"What is your name?"
"... Xue Yi."
"It's really him."
The plainclothes police officer whispered something, turned and left the interrogation room.
.........
When the wings of the plane soared into the sky, Xue Yi felt a chill down his back. Xue Jing opened the paper bag for him, patted his back and vomited for a long time before he stopped.
"Okay." Xue Yi pushed away his water hand.
The plane has passed the take-off phase and is steadily entering the route.
"You don't usually get airsick. Well, if I had known this, I shouldn't have told you. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you know or not."
"Didn't you bring me here just to... don't uncle plan to help him?"
"How do you want me to help a murderer?"
"It's a suspect." Xue Yi blinked slowly and corrected, "He won't kill people."
"You don't understand his family's situation at all." Xue Jing shook his head, "Qin Yipeng and Qin Lang are not as simple as you think."
Xue Yi takes a deep breath
After taking a deep breath, his chest was tight, and he still insisted: "Then he won't kill people."
Xue Jing was silent for a while, then lowered his voice and said to him, "Do you know why I agreed to take you to see him?"
"why."
"If it doesn't work out, you may never see him again. Your father let me out to intervene in this matter, not because of Lin Jieshi, but because of Lin Jieshi."
"Lin Jieshi?"
"Ah."
Xue Jing just wanted to say something, but swallowed the words, took out the notepad on his mobile phone, and typed a few small characters on it: biological poison
Xue Yi's pupils contracted, his heart was pinched hard, and the coolness of belated awareness quickly spread, wandering under every inch of bone.
"According to your father's intention, it is to protect Lin Jieshi. Lin Jieshi is a fool, and he was cowarded before he found out, but this fool's father once saved your grandfather with his life, and our family can't just sit idly by. You know, If it can be proved that he was coerced by threats, he will be imprisoned for several years, but at least he will not be shot..."
In Xue Yi's 17 years, he has never experienced such a thing.
The shock at that moment was like five thunderclaps. The huge amount of information made his limbs numb and difficult to breathe, and he almost lost his language ability.He didn't know what role Qin Lang played in this desperado's work, his heart was empty at first, and then he felt chills one after another, and his blood pressure became lower and lower.
Xue Jing helped him, rubbed his back, and explained worryingly: "I'm not telling you this to scare you, but one day your father and I will leave, and you will be left alone Man, what do you do?"
The air in the first-class cabin was about to freeze.
Xue Jingcai continued: "Qin Lang is definitely an insider. When the domestic police intervened in the investigation, they found that he had beaten Lin Jieshi in the corridor of the hospital. Experts read his mouth patterns, which proved that he was definitely not an uninformed person. Originally, the foreign police planned to give him Acquitted, but because of this surveillance video."
"Hey, the old Qin's family is also unlucky. Just after the old man died, one of the two sons melted into blood and the other will inevitably be shot..."
He actually didn't want to tell Xue Yi that the reason why he brought him to see Qin Lang was because of the angry young man's lips in the video:
"Fuck you. Lin Jieshi, let me warn you, don't meddle in Xue Yi's affairs. Don't think that I don't know what you did. You'd better do it with your conscience, otherwise, I will let you see what It is Wang Fa."
"Why, you have been dealing with Qin Yi for so many years, and you haven't inquired about it. Is there a young one in the Qin family?"
"Oh, one more word, you will be next."
Only then did Xue Jing think, maybe the juvenile's meticulously planned game of stealing the sky was lost in the dispute a month ago, and the source of the dispute was still because of his nephew.
"Uncle, what did you just say, what about blood and gunshots?"
Xue Yi's ears were covered with a thick film, and he couldn't hear clearly, so he moved closer and pulled Xue Jingcai's arm.
"Oh, these are all the details of the case. I'm also half of the people involved in the case, so I know. Don't tell others when you go. Qin Yiyi was turned into a corpse. It is said that the number one suspect killed all the survivors and then swallowed the bomb on the spot. It's blood, and Qin Lang is the only living person playing the game."
...Only Qin Lang is alive.
Xue Yi's eyes began to turn black in bursts, coupled with the airsickness just now, the blood oxygen level in his body dropped rapidly, and his wrists spasmed involuntarily a few times.
"It's very wrong. Why did he happen to be playing a gunfight game, as if he knew what was going to happen outside? The police called up his game records. He didn't kill a single person, but he died twelve times. It happened to be The number of scattered bullet casings, including the one in the stomach of the prime suspect..." He pondered for a while, and suddenly felt the trembling of the person beside him.
"...Xue Yi! Wake up, Xue Yi." Xue Jing was startled, and hurriedly picked up his nephew's upper body and shouted a few times. The flight attendant rushed to them and notified the medical staff to rescue the boy who almost fell into a coma.
Xue Yi opened the blood
With red eyes, he pinched Xue Jingcai's sleeve with his fingers, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Xue Jing was so frightened that his brow sweated, and he bent down to listen.
He said, "Please, save him, he won't kill."
"Save me, don't talk, let me catch my breath!"
"..."
The plane landed in a pitch-black night, and Xue Jingcai's men immediately sent them to the police station as soon as they got off the plane.
Xue Yi was questioned by the police before he was allowed to see Qin Lang under surveillance.
Xue Jingcai stood there, patted the police officer on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "My nephew is still young, so don't make things difficult for him."
The heavy metal door opened, and Qin Lang lay motionless on the seat, his legs spread out in a casual posture, his jaw had not been taken care of for two days, and a circle of blue stubble appeared.Xue Yi walked in and stood there for five or six seconds before calling out Qin Lang's name.
"Fuck." Qin Lang cursed subconsciously.
He turned his head, the handcuffs on his hands creaked, he looked like an enraged wild wolf, and roared: "I just made a phone call, why did you bring him here too!"
"Be quiet first!"
The police officer was not frightened by the sudden battle, but he was worried that Xue Yi would be frightened, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Xue Yi to his side.As a result, Qin Lang was completely angered by this, and he yelled: "Don't touch him!"
"Qin Lang." Xue Yi pushed away the police officer's hand and stepped forward, "Don't get excited, I'm not arrested, I came to see you."
"Look at what I'm doing, what's so interesting about being handcuffed here!"
"...Qin Lang."
"Let him go, I have nothing to say to him." Qin Lang was serious, and even choked out a few very broken English, and repeated his words to the police officer.
Xue Jingcai stood in front of the surveillance screen, and couldn't help pursing his lips.
It was true that the boy was protecting Xue Yi, but it didn't seem that simple - if he really wanted to protect Xue Yi, he shouldn't have called him, or destroyed the calling card immediately after the call.In any case, it will definitely not be placed in the room, waiting for the police to search it away, and push the attention to Xue Yi.
Therefore, he should do this to attract Xue Yi's attention, and to gain Xue Yi's trust so that the Xue family can help him.
For him, if the evidence is still insufficient, he will be acquitted sooner or later, but the shareholders of the Qin family will never let him go easily. At this time, there is no other suitable person to find a backer except the Xue family.
When Xue Yi came out with his father, his father confiscated him in a fit of anger, which simply announced Xue Yi's sexual orientation to the world. Those friends all ran away, why did Qin Lang still want to stay by his side?
I'm afraid that the beating of Lin Jieshi in the hospital was all planned.
"Stinky boy, no matter whether he killed someone or not, the method is quite sophisticated."
What the two children said later was irrelevant, so Xue Jing went to the side of the guard room and waited for a while, then took the nephew whose legs and feet were weak from the police officer.
Xue Yi buried his head in Xue Jingcai's arms, sobbing softly, "Uncle."
"Good, let's go back."
"He definitely didn't kill people, Qin Lang won't kill people."
"How do you know it won't be, it's not that it's not murder if you don't do it yourself."
"Qin Yiyi is also his last relative after all, how could he..."
In the middle of Xue Yi's words, he suddenly stood still as if struck by lightning.
The memory was pushed back to the day when Qin Lang was about to leave. The two of them were sitting on the sofa in the rental house. Qin Lang once said: "I know, if my father fails this time, I will have no relatives in this world."
Qin Lang's logic has always been cautious, for example, if he hadn't taken down the house book, he would definitely say 'that broken house' instead of 'our family'.
Then he said 'no relatives', which means he knew that Qin Yipeng would die...
...
The hairs on Xue Yi's arms stood up instantly.
Feeling his stiffness, a gentle voice sounded from the top of his head: "Hey, don't cry, you are tired, let's go eat something and sleep first, that kid Qin Lang is strong, and he won't be locked up for a while .Okay, don’t cry, Xiao Yi, good boy, it’s uncle who’s bad, I shouldn’t tell you about that, uncle is bad.”
Speechless all the way.
Xue Jing settled down with his nephew, ordered food and put it beside the bed, gave a few simple instructions, and went to meet some friends overnight.He didn't come here on vacation, he had to arrange things, and it was almost dawn after a round.
He hadn't stopped since he got off the plane, and he was already very tired, but he still didn't dare to delay driving back to the big house in Boston.
The door of the bedroom on the first floor was ajar, so Xue Jing gently opened a crack, and looked first with his probe.Xue Yi was lying on his side on the big soft bed, and the dim light of the morning came in from the window, covering his body with a cyan coolness.
He was still awake, the quilt was draped around his waist, the skin of his two arms was exposed, and a little bit of coolness leaked out.
"Xiao Yi?"
He came over and pulled up the quilt, and the boy suddenly moved, moving uncomfortably on the bed sheet twice.After tossing and turning, Xue Jing discovered that there was a striking blush on the base of his ears.
Xue Jingcai hurriedly lowered his head, and by the light of the morning light, he found tiny beads of sweat dripping from the tip of his nose.He picked him up a little bit, stretched out his hands to hold his forehead, and the burning temperature of his hands immediately spread up.
On the head of the bed was the food he had bought before he left, and it was placed there untouched, without a single bite being moved.
"Xiao Yi, wake up, you have a fever, get up and take medicine..."
It was only after Xue Jing finished speaking that he remembered that this house had not been lived in for 800 years after it was bought, so there was no such thing as antipyretics.He had no choice but to pat his nephew who was about to wake up twice, coax him to sleep again, and put on his coat alone to find the pharmacy.
Because he was not familiar with this place, the navigation showed that he had reached his destination several times, but he just couldn't find the signboard of the pharmacy.
"Fuck." Xue Jing was so restless that he slapped the steering wheel with his palm.
Suddenly, someone knocked on his car window.
"What's the matter?" He asked in English.
The visitor also looked Asian, handsome and tall. Seeing that he was speaking English, he also said to him in English: "Sir, you are blocking my car. I am not good at driving, so you can Would you please move the car forward a little?"
"Okay." Xue Jingcai was about to close the car window when he suddenly remembered something and heyed him.
"What's the matter, sir?"
"Where is the pharmacy?"
"It's there, sir, do you see that convenience store, that white light."
Xue Jing followed his hand and finally found a striking sign. He thanked him and stepped on the accelerator to let the car go.
In the rearview mirror, the handsome man returned to his car and handed the hot water cup to another young man.The man was also in good shape, with a hoodie and hat on his head, a thin waist and long legs, leaning on the car and bending over.
Only then did Xue Jing guess that he was suffering from some acute illness, took the water and immediately took two pills and threw it into his mouth. The handsome man still supported him, patted his back lightly, and pulled him into his arms.
He clicked his tongue while turning off the fire, and sighed: "Sure enough, Europe and the United States are more open than China."
When Xue Jingcai came out of the pharmacy, those two people were still standing there "tired and crooked", showing no intention of driving out of the car, Xue Jingcai put the medicine on the passenger seat, lowered the glass and whistled.
The two people over there raised their heads at the same time, and the man standing on the inside raised his chin. The blurred outline suddenly became clear, which surprised Xue Jingcai a little.
The one in the hat, looks familiar?
When he was about to take another look, the tall man turned around and opened the car door, as if intending to block it, carefully sent his companion to the co-pilot, and lowered the overhead baffle.
"Dizzy, how could it be Mr. Lu?" Xue Jing didn't want to delay any longer, lit the ignition, and drove the car back like flying.
Pushing open the door again, the person on the bed still didn't move, but changed his position. He was lying on his side facing the door, holding the phone in both hands, his eyes were red, and he fell asleep in this position.
Xue Jingcai picked up the phone and saw that he was trying to search for some legal knowledge, his heart softened instantly, he lowered his head and kissed Xue Yi's temple, shook him and said, "Get up and take medicine."
Unexpectedly, the always well-behaved nephew opened his eyes and looked at him, then gently closed them again.
"Xiao Yi, what's the matter with you?"
Xue Yi's voice was hoarse and he couldn't speak: "..."
Xue Jing only glanced at the medicine bag in his hand, then looked at the food on the table, and he didn't know what he thought of, so he got angry, lifted his quilt and grabbed him: "What do you want Xue Yi, you have to play tricks and force your uncle to get your little brother? Let me tell you, this trick is useless. I played with my dad badly when I was young, so don't try to force me!"
Xue Yi knocked his head on the bed board, feeling dizzy and a little nauseous.
He thought that Qin Lang must be inseparable from this case.
The terms and conditions of the criminal law are very complicated, and he can't understand them for a while, but it is only right and proper to kill people and pay debts. If Qin Lang really made a move, Xue Yi naturally didn't expect his uncle to protect him, but now he doesn't The evidence is not conclusive, he just wants to ask his uncle to let Qin Lang live better there...
He didn't want to use such a bad method of "absolutely eating and pretending" at first. He just looked up and saw that he didn't speak because he had no strength. Maybe a child who is usually too well-behaved would be mistaken for rebellion if he didn't respond occasionally.
But since he said so, Xue Yi closed his eyes obediently, and struggled lightly with soft hands and feet.
"Are you going to eat?"
"Do not."
"Bastard!" Xue Jingcai threw the medicine on the ground, overturned the food, and left angrily.
.........
On the evening of Lunar New Year's Eve, Lu Haoting pasted a delicately cut "Fu" character on the window of the ward. He pushed the paper with both hands and pressed it twice to stretch the small character as far as possible.
The woman on the hospital bed had pale lips, stretched her arms with difficulty, watched her son get off the stool safely, and then she was willing to lie back on the bed to catch her breath.
Lu Chong helped her wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said displeasedly: "How old is he, why are you so worried about him?"
"How old is that, that's my son. You should be nicer to my son, don't scold him every now and then!"
"I know, I know, isn't that my son too?"
The woman doesn't look very old, her facial features still retain the charm of her youth, but the spirit of a person who has been tortured by illness has collapsed, and even the beautiful skin is empty. She coughed after she finished speaking, Lu Haoting hurried He helped her sit up and carefully fed some water.
"Why, why hasn't my grandson come back?"
Lu Chong: "Xiaohua took me to buy food. You worry about everything every day, and you will have an operation next month. Do you know that your weight is not up to standard, so why don't you eat more and sleep more?"
She ignored her old man, and just muttered to herself: "Call your son-in-law, why haven't you come back after so long. Xiao Hao, call your brother-in-law and ask where you are."
"Okay, I'll call now..."
"Clang!"
The door of the ward was pushed open, Lu Zichen jumped in holding a beautiful handmade toy car, and called grandma in a sweet voice.A burst of joy burst out of the woman's face, she quickly reached out and touched her grandson's head.
"Grandma, Dad bought it for me, it looks good!"
The woman replied repeatedly: "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful."
"Chenchen, where's dad?"
Lu Zichen waved his arm, "Behind!
"
With a creak, the handsome man pushed open the door, and walked in slowly with a smile on his face.
Lu Chong hurriedly greeted his son-in-law: "Xiaohua, come and sit down, don't stand there, the big performer."
Lu Xuhua is tall, but his body proportions are very coordinated. He is in his early thirties. Although he has a Chinese appearance, his tone and movements have the shadow of a Western gentleman. His facial features are tough and beautiful, his skin is as white as suet, and his hair Also true black.
"Uncle! Look at my car, doesn't it look good!"
"Looks good, let's go and play." Lu Haoting rubbed his little face.
Lu Chong clicked his tongue and said, "Xiaohua, don't buy toys for the children indiscriminately, his things are piled up."
"fine."
Lu Xuhua smiled even more, his face was full of doting: "It's just as long as he likes it."
Lu Haoting came over, took the coat he took off, and asked: "Brother-in-law, didn't you mean to go downstairs to eat some noodles, why did you come back so late?"
Lu Xuhua said: "I'm delayed by something." Then he lowered his voice, apparently not wanting the two old people to know: "How are you, did you take your medicine in the morning?"
"Well, it's alright."
"You scared me yesterday. Remember to eat on time, do you know? Hush, come out and say."
Lu Haoting nodded understandingly, and the two came out of the ward, standing in the corridor and talking quietly.
"What's going on, you've been out for so long."
"A policeman called me and asked me to assist in investigating a case."
Lu Haoting gave a soft ah, and asked, "What case?"
"It's not a big deal. I just happened to pass by and heard a few conversations. I came out after finishing the transcript. I just called and asked me for details, so I went again. Have you chosen the restaurant for the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"I have chosen, but my mother's health is not as good as last year, so I asked them to send them to the ward. Let's live here when we are [-]. I will contact the nurse to add a temporary cot. If Chen Chen is sleepy, he will sleep in it." here."
"What about you?" Lu Xuhua narrowed his eyelids slightly.
"Whatever I do is fine, just make do with the night on the sofa."
"No." Lu Xuhua patted him, as if caring for Lu Zichen, "Add a big bed, you and Chenchen will sleep together."
"It's okay, there is already a bed in the room, let's get another big one..."
"No, you know, I was frightened by you that year, and I really can't see you making any mistakes."
After Lu Xuhua finished speaking, he regretted it. He knew he shouldn't mention it, but the man in front of him was stunned for a moment, and his shoulders gradually began to tremble.
"Okay, it's all over, I shouldn't mention it, Hao Ting?"
"It's okay." Her thin chest rose and fell rapidly, trying to suppress the emotions in her heart.
Lu Xuhua quickly picked up his hand, squeezed it heavily, and said: "Don't be afraid, it will get better, and she doesn't want you to be immersed in pain forever, Hao Ting, look at me, Hao Ting."
"I'm fine." Lu Haoting clenched his eyebrows.
Lu Xuhua carefully probed: "Then when do you plan to tell your parents, if you can't say it, I can come."
"Wait a little longer, there will be another operation in the next year, if it succeeds."
But if it doesn't work...
Lu Haoting was so choked up that he couldn't speak, his slender fingers covered his face, and wanted to squat down, but Lu Xuhua quickly took his arm, pulled him into his arms, and hugged him comfortingly.
"Uncle!" Lu Zichen's voice suddenly sounded in the corridor.Lu Xuhua was startled, his pupils trembled slightly, and his muscles contracted violently.
"Dad, what's wrong with uncle, why are you holding him?"
Lu Xuhua let go of Lu Haoting, let him lean against the wall, turned to Lu Zichen and said, "Uncle is tired, you go in and play with grandma and grandpa first."
"Okay." Lu Zichen quickly lowered his voice, "Then dad will take good care of uncle."
"meeting
of. ”
After Lu Xuhua finished speaking, he wanted to pull him into his arms again, but Lu Haoting waved his hand and sat down on the chair in the corridor.
"Why don't you go back to sleep today, I'll stay with your parents. Hao Ting, don't worry, you didn't bear this matter alone, and I have it."
"Well, I'll take Chen Chen away too."
Lu Xuhua frowned slightly, and said: "Don't take it, the child is too noisy, you go back and have a good rest, I will watch him today. Go and put on your coat, I will take you back."
Lu Xuhua explained to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and drove Lu Haoting back to the house he bought in Boston - the house was next to the church, and there would be the sound of singing every morning.
"Take a shower and rest, call me if you need something."
"Ah."
'Crack', the light in the bedroom was turned on, Lu Haoting went to the bathroom to take a bath first, his cold hands and feet gradually warmed up under the hot water, but his heart kept sinking.
He raised his head, revealing his undefended neck, the profile of his face was winding all the way to the top of his Adam's apple, and his fair skin was dotted with crystal drops of water.
When Lu Zichen was not around, his world was empty and gray, and he couldn't help but recall the events of the year: the noisy scene, the magnetized voice on the walkie-talkie, a scarred corpse crooked behind the yellow cordon, the young The child was pillowed in the arms of the female police officer, crying and convulsing.
The policeman put the rope into the evidence bag, turned his head and told Lu Haoting who came hastily, "It's suicide, she's prone to depression, please say goodbye to her."
"..."
"Not good!" The police officer who reacted suddenly yelled: "Stop him, let all the guns be put away at the scene! Stop him!"
"Damn it, put the gun down!"
There was a lucky voice of a female police officer: "Huh, luckily it wasn't loaded."
The cold fingers twitched suddenly, if Lu Haoting opened his eyes, it would be an action of pulling the trigger.
At that time, he had just received the news that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer, and when he saw his sister's body, he thought about getting rid of it...
After a long time, Lu Haoting came back to his senses in shock. He stared blankly at the water surface for a while, then stretched out a hand, groped a few times, and turned on the phone screen.
A number was dialed almost subconsciously.
"Hey?"
"Sir?" Xue Yi's voice was hoarse due to the high fever.
Lu Haoting's voice was not much better, but he still frowned: "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you, are you sick?"
"No, I just woke up with a hoarse voice."
Lu Haoting reckoned, it was almost early morning in China, "I woke you up."
Xue Yi suppressed all his exhaustion, and said softly: "No, sir, you can call anytime if you miss me, I'm always here."
Lu Haoting didn't expect the call to get through, so he wanted to cry at that moment, and finally suppressed his emotions, and said relaxedly: "Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, have you and your brother set off firecrackers?"
"……No."
Not only did he not set off firecrackers, but his brother was also taken into the police station as a suspect.
"Why not? Are you not allowed to fire cannons there?"
Xue Yi: "Let it go, but I don't want to let it go."
Lu Haoting: "Don't children like to play with guns?"
Xue Yi: "I will be eighteen after Chinese New Year."
Lu Haoting smiled: "Oh, he's a big kid."
"..." Why are you still a child?
Lu Haoting took a deep breath and continued chatting: "We will go back in the third year of junior high school. You guys won't start school until next month. Relax at home and eat something delicious. If you come back to pick up something, just give me a call, or come directly to also."
"Ah."
In fact, Lu Haoting didn't know what to say, but he didn't want to hang up the phone. His arm soaked in the water lightly touched the surface of the water, and asked him: "What's your brother doing? Didn't he play with guns?"
"he
No. "
"Are you coming back together after school starts?"
"He's not coming back." Xue Yi choked for a while, and then returned to normal.
"Why, he's younger than you, he's still in school, why didn't he come back? Xiaoyi, if it's because of economic reasons..."
Xue Yi coughed and interrupted him: "No, he didn't miss it a long time ago."
It's true that I don't miss it for a long time, Xue Yi didn't lie anyway, and his tone was calm, but Lu Haoting was silent.
"Are you okay, Xiao Yi."
"It's okay, if he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to, I'll read for him." Xue Yi covered his eyes with his arms and whispered.
After a long time, Lu Haoting asked: "Xiao Yi, are you tired?" With so much to bear, are you tired?If you are tired, how do you convince yourself to continue?
Xue Yi thought he was talking about studies, so he replied: "Occasionally, for example, when you can't hold back your composition."
Lu Haoting smiled, he put his hands on the edge of the bathtub, stood up from the water, wrapped a towel around his waist with one hand, and walked into the room with his mobile phone.
"Mister is taking a bath?"
"Well, I'm done washing and I'm going to wipe my hair."
Lu Haoting stretched out his hand and pulled a dry towel, his black hair glistened with water, and the drops of water fell on his beautiful right-angled shoulders, like crystals falling on a jade plate, crisp and moving.
He said, "Xiao Yi, I miss you a little bit."
Xue Yi: "..."
In the dark, just thinking about the scene over there, Xue Yi felt his veins were burning and his face was faintly hot.
Lu Haoting was still confiding unconsciously: "It would be great if you were in front of me now, and I could talk to you a few more words, why is it suddenly the Chinese New Year, I'm not ready yet."
"Where is sir?"
Xue Yi's voice came through the metal coil, and Lu Haoting suddenly had an illusion that the distance between the two of them seemed not as far as crossing the ocean, as if they were close at hand, but the distance fell into a blur
Strange
All the evidence points to one of Qin Yifeng's former subordinates, malicious transactions, deliberately giving up huge benefits, guns hidden in the ankles in advance, bizarre bar concerts, and biological drug residues on the rim of wine glasses objects, and the dissolving of the corpses after the murder in the villa...
The number one suspect swallowed a bullet and died after committing the crime. The case was almost a foregone conclusion, but after the police found Qin Lang upstairs where the crime happened, everything went haywire.
At that time, the boy was wearing house slippers, with disheveled hair and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like an Internet addicted boy who was playing with things and lost his mind. He walked out under the watchful eyes of the police, crossed the cordon, and stopped in front of a pool of stinking corpses.
"What is this?" The boy frowned, and stretched out a hand to touch it, but was stopped by the policeman quickly.
"It's a corpse."
The young man looked blank, and someone translated it for him.
"what."
"The deceased Qin Yiyi, male, 24 years old..."
The boy's pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole body began to tremble abnormally.The surroundings were chaotic, the furniture was scattered, and the ground was covered with blood-stained fragments. The boy wanted to stand up, but he swayed and fell into the bloody water sullenly.
Someone caught him, and the scene fell into chaos again.The police officer quickly pressed his neck and heart, and finally woke him up. The boy's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had been holding back for a long time, and he vomited out with a loud wow.
.........
In a police station in Boston, an undercover officer hung up an international call.
"What did you say over there?"
"The suspect cannot be released, there is evidence that the kid knew something."
"Then when will we have the trial?"
"The interrogation is now." The plainclothes called the interrogation room, and turned to ask the assistant: "Have the three groups returned? What did the bar say?"
"I asked a lot of people, and they said the same thing. They all said they didn't know where those people came from. Only one pianist gave a different statement."
"Why is it different?"
"The pianist is of Chinese descent, and said that he heard a few passages of the victim's previous words in the bathroom."
"Show it to me first!"
trial room
A hat was pressed on the boy's head, his pale hands were clenched, and his lips were drawn into a sharp straight line.He was wearing baggy clothes with the cuffs pulled down so that the silver handcuffs on his wrists were barely visible.
A tall plainclothes criminal policeman walked in and stood beside him. The police officer in charge of translation kept recording something with a pen.
"You have read the property division document."
Qin Lang squinted his eyes, and immediately said: "I have seen it."
"You know that all of your father's property is about to be transferred to your brother's name."
"know."
The two officers looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"Little brother, don't be afraid. You are not full now. If you can prove that you are completely ignorant, you will not be held criminally responsible." The translator read in unproficient Chinese, then bent down and patted him tight shoulders.
"I'm not afraid." Qin Lang relaxed a little.
"Qin Yiyi died around 02:30 in the morning. You didn't take the initiative to contact the police. What happened at that time, can you tell us?"
"I didn't know he was dead."
"Who went to your house the day before the incident."
"A lot of people, I don't know, I've been playing games."
"Little brother, as far as I know, the games on your computer were only installed in the past week, and only one bag of game consoles was purchased a long time ago. We retrieved your game records, and you don't seem to be very good at playing games." Let's play."
Qin Lang was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, the handcuffs vibrated slightly, making a metallic sound, he smiled and said, "So, are you laughing at me?"
"No
have.The day before the incident, you two had a quarrel in the hospital. Was it because of your father's will? "
"That's right. I'm not convinced. I think it's normal. I'm also a son. Why should I leave the house completely?"
"A total of twelve bullet casings were found at the scene of the crime, that is, at least twelve shots were fired. The sound insulation effect of the room is not good. Did you really hear nothing, or are you angry and unwilling to call the police?"
"I didn't hear that, I was playing a shootout game."
If Qin Lang was a bit cramped when he was first sent in, it can be said that he is very relaxed now. He stretched his legs forward, pressed against the small space, leaned his shoulders casually on the back of the chair, raised his eyes and asked, "What is that?" Let me out when it's time, it's uncomfortable to sleep here."
"Little brother, one last question. Do you understand what your father and brother are doing?"
"which aspect?"
"Smuggling and gun trafficking."
"Isn't there still making drugs?"
The police officer in charge of the translation was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and translated the original words.
"how do you know?"
The issue of drug production is sensitive, and it is also the highlight of this interrogation.The psychologists originally planned to stay at the end and wait for him to ask questions when his mental tension passed and his mind was most vulnerable and helpless, but unexpectedly the child raised it on his own initiative.
There are only two explanations for this situation. Either the young man has nothing to do with this incident, or he has a perfect retreat so that the police can't produce enough evidence to convict him.
Judging from the current confession, this boy is really not as simple as he imagined.
"My brother drank too much before and mentioned it to me. He said it was a synthetic drug. I can't remember what it was called chlorammonia."
Neither of the officers looked very good, let alone the recording officers behind the partition.
"Since you know, why didn't you call the police immediately? Was it threatened?"
"That's not true, but I didn't believe him. He used to drink too much and told me that he was captured and raped by aliens."
"...You mean, he was talking drunk, right?"
"That's how I felt at the time."
"According to the insider's confession, it is said that the night before Qin Yiyi's death, he received news of your father's death in the bathroom, and then immediately called again to ask his subordinates to kill you."
"Heh." Qin Lang laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"He's like this, suspicious, always thinking that my father will give me all the property, and it's normal to want to kill me."
"Since you know, you don't have the idea to strike first?"
"I can't beat him."
"...Okay, let's not talk about this for now. We found a temporary number in your room, and there is only one person in contact with it. Would you like to disclose the other person's name?"
Qin Lang was silent for a while, then nodded.
"What is your name?"
"... Xue Yi."
"It's really him."
The plainclothes police officer whispered something, turned and left the interrogation room.
.........
When the wings of the plane soared into the sky, Xue Yi felt a chill down his back. Xue Jing opened the paper bag for him, patted his back and vomited for a long time before he stopped.
"Okay." Xue Yi pushed away his water hand.
The plane has passed the take-off phase and is steadily entering the route.
"You don't usually get airsick. Well, if I had known this, I shouldn't have told you. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you know or not."
"Didn't you bring me here just to... don't uncle plan to help him?"
"How do you want me to help a murderer?"
"It's a suspect." Xue Yi blinked slowly and corrected, "He won't kill people."
"You don't understand his family's situation at all." Xue Jing shook his head, "Qin Yipeng and Qin Lang are not as simple as you think."
Xue Yi takes a deep breath
After taking a deep breath, his chest was tight, and he still insisted: "Then he won't kill people."
Xue Jing was silent for a while, then lowered his voice and said to him, "Do you know why I agreed to take you to see him?"
"why."
"If it doesn't work out, you may never see him again. Your father let me out to intervene in this matter, not because of Lin Jieshi, but because of Lin Jieshi."
"Lin Jieshi?"
"Ah."
Xue Jing just wanted to say something, but swallowed the words, took out the notepad on his mobile phone, and typed a few small characters on it: biological poison
Xue Yi's pupils contracted, his heart was pinched hard, and the coolness of belated awareness quickly spread, wandering under every inch of bone.
"According to your father's intention, it is to protect Lin Jieshi. Lin Jieshi is a fool, and he was cowarded before he found out, but this fool's father once saved your grandfather with his life, and our family can't just sit idly by. You know, If it can be proved that he was coerced by threats, he will be imprisoned for several years, but at least he will not be shot..."
In Xue Yi's 17 years, he has never experienced such a thing.
The shock at that moment was like five thunderclaps. The huge amount of information made his limbs numb and difficult to breathe, and he almost lost his language ability.He didn't know what role Qin Lang played in this desperado's work, his heart was empty at first, and then he felt chills one after another, and his blood pressure became lower and lower.
Xue Jing helped him, rubbed his back, and explained worryingly: "I'm not telling you this to scare you, but one day your father and I will leave, and you will be left alone Man, what do you do?"
The air in the first-class cabin was about to freeze.
Xue Jingcai continued: "Qin Lang is definitely an insider. When the domestic police intervened in the investigation, they found that he had beaten Lin Jieshi in the corridor of the hospital. Experts read his mouth patterns, which proved that he was definitely not an uninformed person. Originally, the foreign police planned to give him Acquitted, but because of this surveillance video."
"Hey, the old Qin's family is also unlucky. Just after the old man died, one of the two sons melted into blood and the other will inevitably be shot..."
He actually didn't want to tell Xue Yi that the reason why he brought him to see Qin Lang was because of the angry young man's lips in the video:
"Fuck you. Lin Jieshi, let me warn you, don't meddle in Xue Yi's affairs. Don't think that I don't know what you did. You'd better do it with your conscience, otherwise, I will let you see what It is Wang Fa."
"Why, you have been dealing with Qin Yi for so many years, and you haven't inquired about it. Is there a young one in the Qin family?"
"Oh, one more word, you will be next."
Only then did Xue Jing think, maybe the juvenile's meticulously planned game of stealing the sky was lost in the dispute a month ago, and the source of the dispute was still because of his nephew.
"Uncle, what did you just say, what about blood and gunshots?"
Xue Yi's ears were covered with a thick film, and he couldn't hear clearly, so he moved closer and pulled Xue Jingcai's arm.
"Oh, these are all the details of the case. I'm also half of the people involved in the case, so I know. Don't tell others when you go. Qin Yiyi was turned into a corpse. It is said that the number one suspect killed all the survivors and then swallowed the bomb on the spot. It's blood, and Qin Lang is the only living person playing the game."
...Only Qin Lang is alive.
Xue Yi's eyes began to turn black in bursts, coupled with the airsickness just now, the blood oxygen level in his body dropped rapidly, and his wrists spasmed involuntarily a few times.
"It's very wrong. Why did he happen to be playing a gunfight game, as if he knew what was going to happen outside? The police called up his game records. He didn't kill a single person, but he died twelve times. It happened to be The number of scattered bullet casings, including the one in the stomach of the prime suspect..." He pondered for a while, and suddenly felt the trembling of the person beside him.
"...Xue Yi! Wake up, Xue Yi." Xue Jing was startled, and hurriedly picked up his nephew's upper body and shouted a few times. The flight attendant rushed to them and notified the medical staff to rescue the boy who almost fell into a coma.
Xue Yi opened the blood
With red eyes, he pinched Xue Jingcai's sleeve with his fingers, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Xue Jing was so frightened that his brow sweated, and he bent down to listen.
He said, "Please, save him, he won't kill."
"Save me, don't talk, let me catch my breath!"
"..."
The plane landed in a pitch-black night, and Xue Jingcai's men immediately sent them to the police station as soon as they got off the plane.
Xue Yi was questioned by the police before he was allowed to see Qin Lang under surveillance.
Xue Jingcai stood there, patted the police officer on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "My nephew is still young, so don't make things difficult for him."
The heavy metal door opened, and Qin Lang lay motionless on the seat, his legs spread out in a casual posture, his jaw had not been taken care of for two days, and a circle of blue stubble appeared.Xue Yi walked in and stood there for five or six seconds before calling out Qin Lang's name.
"Fuck." Qin Lang cursed subconsciously.
He turned his head, the handcuffs on his hands creaked, he looked like an enraged wild wolf, and roared: "I just made a phone call, why did you bring him here too!"
"Be quiet first!"
The police officer was not frightened by the sudden battle, but he was worried that Xue Yi would be frightened, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Xue Yi to his side.As a result, Qin Lang was completely angered by this, and he yelled: "Don't touch him!"
"Qin Lang." Xue Yi pushed away the police officer's hand and stepped forward, "Don't get excited, I'm not arrested, I came to see you."
"Look at what I'm doing, what's so interesting about being handcuffed here!"
"...Qin Lang."
"Let him go, I have nothing to say to him." Qin Lang was serious, and even choked out a few very broken English, and repeated his words to the police officer.
Xue Jingcai stood in front of the surveillance screen, and couldn't help pursing his lips.
It was true that the boy was protecting Xue Yi, but it didn't seem that simple - if he really wanted to protect Xue Yi, he shouldn't have called him, or destroyed the calling card immediately after the call.In any case, it will definitely not be placed in the room, waiting for the police to search it away, and push the attention to Xue Yi.
Therefore, he should do this to attract Xue Yi's attention, and to gain Xue Yi's trust so that the Xue family can help him.
For him, if the evidence is still insufficient, he will be acquitted sooner or later, but the shareholders of the Qin family will never let him go easily. At this time, there is no other suitable person to find a backer except the Xue family.
When Xue Yi came out with his father, his father confiscated him in a fit of anger, which simply announced Xue Yi's sexual orientation to the world. Those friends all ran away, why did Qin Lang still want to stay by his side?
I'm afraid that the beating of Lin Jieshi in the hospital was all planned.
"Stinky boy, no matter whether he killed someone or not, the method is quite sophisticated."
What the two children said later was irrelevant, so Xue Jing went to the side of the guard room and waited for a while, then took the nephew whose legs and feet were weak from the police officer.
Xue Yi buried his head in Xue Jingcai's arms, sobbing softly, "Uncle."
"Good, let's go back."
"He definitely didn't kill people, Qin Lang won't kill people."
"How do you know it won't be, it's not that it's not murder if you don't do it yourself."
"Qin Yiyi is also his last relative after all, how could he..."
In the middle of Xue Yi's words, he suddenly stood still as if struck by lightning.
The memory was pushed back to the day when Qin Lang was about to leave. The two of them were sitting on the sofa in the rental house. Qin Lang once said: "I know, if my father fails this time, I will have no relatives in this world."
Qin Lang's logic has always been cautious, for example, if he hadn't taken down the house book, he would definitely say 'that broken house' instead of 'our family'.
Then he said 'no relatives', which means he knew that Qin Yipeng would die...
...
The hairs on Xue Yi's arms stood up instantly.
Feeling his stiffness, a gentle voice sounded from the top of his head: "Hey, don't cry, you are tired, let's go eat something and sleep first, that kid Qin Lang is strong, and he won't be locked up for a while .Okay, don’t cry, Xiao Yi, good boy, it’s uncle who’s bad, I shouldn’t tell you about that, uncle is bad.”
Speechless all the way.
Xue Jing settled down with his nephew, ordered food and put it beside the bed, gave a few simple instructions, and went to meet some friends overnight.He didn't come here on vacation, he had to arrange things, and it was almost dawn after a round.
He hadn't stopped since he got off the plane, and he was already very tired, but he still didn't dare to delay driving back to the big house in Boston.
The door of the bedroom on the first floor was ajar, so Xue Jing gently opened a crack, and looked first with his probe.Xue Yi was lying on his side on the big soft bed, and the dim light of the morning came in from the window, covering his body with a cyan coolness.
He was still awake, the quilt was draped around his waist, the skin of his two arms was exposed, and a little bit of coolness leaked out.
"Xiao Yi?"
He came over and pulled up the quilt, and the boy suddenly moved, moving uncomfortably on the bed sheet twice.After tossing and turning, Xue Jing discovered that there was a striking blush on the base of his ears.
Xue Jingcai hurriedly lowered his head, and by the light of the morning light, he found tiny beads of sweat dripping from the tip of his nose.He picked him up a little bit, stretched out his hands to hold his forehead, and the burning temperature of his hands immediately spread up.
On the head of the bed was the food he had bought before he left, and it was placed there untouched, without a single bite being moved.
"Xiao Yi, wake up, you have a fever, get up and take medicine..."
It was only after Xue Jing finished speaking that he remembered that this house had not been lived in for 800 years after it was bought, so there was no such thing as antipyretics.He had no choice but to pat his nephew who was about to wake up twice, coax him to sleep again, and put on his coat alone to find the pharmacy.
Because he was not familiar with this place, the navigation showed that he had reached his destination several times, but he just couldn't find the signboard of the pharmacy.
"Fuck." Xue Jing was so restless that he slapped the steering wheel with his palm.
Suddenly, someone knocked on his car window.
"What's the matter?" He asked in English.
The visitor also looked Asian, handsome and tall. Seeing that he was speaking English, he also said to him in English: "Sir, you are blocking my car. I am not good at driving, so you can Would you please move the car forward a little?"
"Okay." Xue Jingcai was about to close the car window when he suddenly remembered something and heyed him.
"What's the matter, sir?"
"Where is the pharmacy?"
"It's there, sir, do you see that convenience store, that white light."
Xue Jing followed his hand and finally found a striking sign. He thanked him and stepped on the accelerator to let the car go.
In the rearview mirror, the handsome man returned to his car and handed the hot water cup to another young man.The man was also in good shape, with a hoodie and hat on his head, a thin waist and long legs, leaning on the car and bending over.
Only then did Xue Jing guess that he was suffering from some acute illness, took the water and immediately took two pills and threw it into his mouth. The handsome man still supported him, patted his back lightly, and pulled him into his arms.
He clicked his tongue while turning off the fire, and sighed: "Sure enough, Europe and the United States are more open than China."
When Xue Jingcai came out of the pharmacy, those two people were still standing there "tired and crooked", showing no intention of driving out of the car, Xue Jingcai put the medicine on the passenger seat, lowered the glass and whistled.
The two people over there raised their heads at the same time, and the man standing on the inside raised his chin. The blurred outline suddenly became clear, which surprised Xue Jingcai a little.
The one in the hat, looks familiar?
When he was about to take another look, the tall man turned around and opened the car door, as if intending to block it, carefully sent his companion to the co-pilot, and lowered the overhead baffle.
"Dizzy, how could it be Mr. Lu?" Xue Jing didn't want to delay any longer, lit the ignition, and drove the car back like flying.
Pushing open the door again, the person on the bed still didn't move, but changed his position. He was lying on his side facing the door, holding the phone in both hands, his eyes were red, and he fell asleep in this position.
Xue Jingcai picked up the phone and saw that he was trying to search for some legal knowledge, his heart softened instantly, he lowered his head and kissed Xue Yi's temple, shook him and said, "Get up and take medicine."
Unexpectedly, the always well-behaved nephew opened his eyes and looked at him, then gently closed them again.
"Xiao Yi, what's the matter with you?"
Xue Yi's voice was hoarse and he couldn't speak: "..."
Xue Jing only glanced at the medicine bag in his hand, then looked at the food on the table, and he didn't know what he thought of, so he got angry, lifted his quilt and grabbed him: "What do you want Xue Yi, you have to play tricks and force your uncle to get your little brother? Let me tell you, this trick is useless. I played with my dad badly when I was young, so don't try to force me!"
Xue Yi knocked his head on the bed board, feeling dizzy and a little nauseous.
He thought that Qin Lang must be inseparable from this case.
The terms and conditions of the criminal law are very complicated, and he can't understand them for a while, but it is only right and proper to kill people and pay debts. If Qin Lang really made a move, Xue Yi naturally didn't expect his uncle to protect him, but now he doesn't The evidence is not conclusive, he just wants to ask his uncle to let Qin Lang live better there...
He didn't want to use such a bad method of "absolutely eating and pretending" at first. He just looked up and saw that he didn't speak because he had no strength. Maybe a child who is usually too well-behaved would be mistaken for rebellion if he didn't respond occasionally.
But since he said so, Xue Yi closed his eyes obediently, and struggled lightly with soft hands and feet.
"Are you going to eat?"
"Do not."
"Bastard!" Xue Jingcai threw the medicine on the ground, overturned the food, and left angrily.
.........
On the evening of Lunar New Year's Eve, Lu Haoting pasted a delicately cut "Fu" character on the window of the ward. He pushed the paper with both hands and pressed it twice to stretch the small character as far as possible.
The woman on the hospital bed had pale lips, stretched her arms with difficulty, watched her son get off the stool safely, and then she was willing to lie back on the bed to catch her breath.
Lu Chong helped her wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said displeasedly: "How old is he, why are you so worried about him?"
"How old is that, that's my son. You should be nicer to my son, don't scold him every now and then!"
"I know, I know, isn't that my son too?"
The woman doesn't look very old, her facial features still retain the charm of her youth, but the spirit of a person who has been tortured by illness has collapsed, and even the beautiful skin is empty. She coughed after she finished speaking, Lu Haoting hurried He helped her sit up and carefully fed some water.
"Why, why hasn't my grandson come back?"
Lu Chong: "Xiaohua took me to buy food. You worry about everything every day, and you will have an operation next month. Do you know that your weight is not up to standard, so why don't you eat more and sleep more?"
She ignored her old man, and just muttered to herself: "Call your son-in-law, why haven't you come back after so long. Xiao Hao, call your brother-in-law and ask where you are."
"Okay, I'll call now..."
"Clang!"
The door of the ward was pushed open, Lu Zichen jumped in holding a beautiful handmade toy car, and called grandma in a sweet voice.A burst of joy burst out of the woman's face, she quickly reached out and touched her grandson's head.
"Grandma, Dad bought it for me, it looks good!"
The woman replied repeatedly: "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful."
"Chenchen, where's dad?"
Lu Zichen waved his arm, "Behind!
"
With a creak, the handsome man pushed open the door, and walked in slowly with a smile on his face.
Lu Chong hurriedly greeted his son-in-law: "Xiaohua, come and sit down, don't stand there, the big performer."
Lu Xuhua is tall, but his body proportions are very coordinated. He is in his early thirties. Although he has a Chinese appearance, his tone and movements have the shadow of a Western gentleman. His facial features are tough and beautiful, his skin is as white as suet, and his hair Also true black.
"Uncle! Look at my car, doesn't it look good!"
"Looks good, let's go and play." Lu Haoting rubbed his little face.
Lu Chong clicked his tongue and said, "Xiaohua, don't buy toys for the children indiscriminately, his things are piled up."
"fine."
Lu Xuhua smiled even more, his face was full of doting: "It's just as long as he likes it."
Lu Haoting came over, took the coat he took off, and asked: "Brother-in-law, didn't you mean to go downstairs to eat some noodles, why did you come back so late?"
Lu Xuhua said: "I'm delayed by something." Then he lowered his voice, apparently not wanting the two old people to know: "How are you, did you take your medicine in the morning?"
"Well, it's alright."
"You scared me yesterday. Remember to eat on time, do you know? Hush, come out and say."
Lu Haoting nodded understandingly, and the two came out of the ward, standing in the corridor and talking quietly.
"What's going on, you've been out for so long."
"A policeman called me and asked me to assist in investigating a case."
Lu Haoting gave a soft ah, and asked, "What case?"
"It's not a big deal. I just happened to pass by and heard a few conversations. I came out after finishing the transcript. I just called and asked me for details, so I went again. Have you chosen the restaurant for the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"I have chosen, but my mother's health is not as good as last year, so I asked them to send them to the ward. Let's live here when we are [-]. I will contact the nurse to add a temporary cot. If Chen Chen is sleepy, he will sleep in it." here."
"What about you?" Lu Xuhua narrowed his eyelids slightly.
"Whatever I do is fine, just make do with the night on the sofa."
"No." Lu Xuhua patted him, as if caring for Lu Zichen, "Add a big bed, you and Chenchen will sleep together."
"It's okay, there is already a bed in the room, let's get another big one..."
"No, you know, I was frightened by you that year, and I really can't see you making any mistakes."
After Lu Xuhua finished speaking, he regretted it. He knew he shouldn't mention it, but the man in front of him was stunned for a moment, and his shoulders gradually began to tremble.
"Okay, it's all over, I shouldn't mention it, Hao Ting?"
"It's okay." Her thin chest rose and fell rapidly, trying to suppress the emotions in her heart.
Lu Xuhua quickly picked up his hand, squeezed it heavily, and said: "Don't be afraid, it will get better, and she doesn't want you to be immersed in pain forever, Hao Ting, look at me, Hao Ting."
"I'm fine." Lu Haoting clenched his eyebrows.
Lu Xuhua carefully probed: "Then when do you plan to tell your parents, if you can't say it, I can come."
"Wait a little longer, there will be another operation in the next year, if it succeeds."
But if it doesn't work...
Lu Haoting was so choked up that he couldn't speak, his slender fingers covered his face, and wanted to squat down, but Lu Xuhua quickly took his arm, pulled him into his arms, and hugged him comfortingly.
"Uncle!" Lu Zichen's voice suddenly sounded in the corridor.Lu Xuhua was startled, his pupils trembled slightly, and his muscles contracted violently.
"Dad, what's wrong with uncle, why are you holding him?"
Lu Xuhua let go of Lu Haoting, let him lean against the wall, turned to Lu Zichen and said, "Uncle is tired, you go in and play with grandma and grandpa first."
"Okay." Lu Zichen quickly lowered his voice, "Then dad will take good care of uncle."
"meeting
of. ”
After Lu Xuhua finished speaking, he wanted to pull him into his arms again, but Lu Haoting waved his hand and sat down on the chair in the corridor.
"Why don't you go back to sleep today, I'll stay with your parents. Hao Ting, don't worry, you didn't bear this matter alone, and I have it."
"Well, I'll take Chen Chen away too."
Lu Xuhua frowned slightly, and said: "Don't take it, the child is too noisy, you go back and have a good rest, I will watch him today. Go and put on your coat, I will take you back."
Lu Xuhua explained to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and drove Lu Haoting back to the house he bought in Boston - the house was next to the church, and there would be the sound of singing every morning.
"Take a shower and rest, call me if you need something."
"Ah."
'Crack', the light in the bedroom was turned on, Lu Haoting went to the bathroom to take a bath first, his cold hands and feet gradually warmed up under the hot water, but his heart kept sinking.
He raised his head, revealing his undefended neck, the profile of his face was winding all the way to the top of his Adam's apple, and his fair skin was dotted with crystal drops of water.
When Lu Zichen was not around, his world was empty and gray, and he couldn't help but recall the events of the year: the noisy scene, the magnetized voice on the walkie-talkie, a scarred corpse crooked behind the yellow cordon, the young The child was pillowed in the arms of the female police officer, crying and convulsing.
The policeman put the rope into the evidence bag, turned his head and told Lu Haoting who came hastily, "It's suicide, she's prone to depression, please say goodbye to her."
"..."
"Not good!" The police officer who reacted suddenly yelled: "Stop him, let all the guns be put away at the scene! Stop him!"
"Damn it, put the gun down!"
There was a lucky voice of a female police officer: "Huh, luckily it wasn't loaded."
The cold fingers twitched suddenly, if Lu Haoting opened his eyes, it would be an action of pulling the trigger.
At that time, he had just received the news that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer, and when he saw his sister's body, he thought about getting rid of it...
After a long time, Lu Haoting came back to his senses in shock. He stared blankly at the water surface for a while, then stretched out a hand, groped a few times, and turned on the phone screen.
A number was dialed almost subconsciously.
"Hey?"
"Sir?" Xue Yi's voice was hoarse due to the high fever.
Lu Haoting's voice was not much better, but he still frowned: "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you, are you sick?"
"No, I just woke up with a hoarse voice."
Lu Haoting reckoned, it was almost early morning in China, "I woke you up."
Xue Yi suppressed all his exhaustion, and said softly: "No, sir, you can call anytime if you miss me, I'm always here."
Lu Haoting didn't expect the call to get through, so he wanted to cry at that moment, and finally suppressed his emotions, and said relaxedly: "Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, have you and your brother set off firecrackers?"
"……No."
Not only did he not set off firecrackers, but his brother was also taken into the police station as a suspect.
"Why not? Are you not allowed to fire cannons there?"
Xue Yi: "Let it go, but I don't want to let it go."
Lu Haoting: "Don't children like to play with guns?"
Xue Yi: "I will be eighteen after Chinese New Year."
Lu Haoting smiled: "Oh, he's a big kid."
"..." Why are you still a child?
Lu Haoting took a deep breath and continued chatting: "We will go back in the third year of junior high school. You guys won't start school until next month. Relax at home and eat something delicious. If you come back to pick up something, just give me a call, or come directly to also."
"Ah."
In fact, Lu Haoting didn't know what to say, but he didn't want to hang up the phone. His arm soaked in the water lightly touched the surface of the water, and asked him: "What's your brother doing? Didn't he play with guns?"
"he
No. "
"Are you coming back together after school starts?"
"He's not coming back." Xue Yi choked for a while, and then returned to normal.
"Why, he's younger than you, he's still in school, why didn't he come back? Xiaoyi, if it's because of economic reasons..."
Xue Yi coughed and interrupted him: "No, he didn't miss it a long time ago."
It's true that I don't miss it for a long time, Xue Yi didn't lie anyway, and his tone was calm, but Lu Haoting was silent.
"Are you okay, Xiao Yi."
"It's okay, if he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to, I'll read for him." Xue Yi covered his eyes with his arms and whispered.
After a long time, Lu Haoting asked: "Xiao Yi, are you tired?" With so much to bear, are you tired?If you are tired, how do you convince yourself to continue?
Xue Yi thought he was talking about studies, so he replied: "Occasionally, for example, when you can't hold back your composition."
Lu Haoting smiled, he put his hands on the edge of the bathtub, stood up from the water, wrapped a towel around his waist with one hand, and walked into the room with his mobile phone.
"Mister is taking a bath?"
"Well, I'm done washing and I'm going to wipe my hair."
Lu Haoting stretched out his hand and pulled a dry towel, his black hair glistened with water, and the drops of water fell on his beautiful right-angled shoulders, like crystals falling on a jade plate, crisp and moving.
He said, "Xiao Yi, I miss you a little bit."
Xue Yi: "..."
In the dark, just thinking about the scene over there, Xue Yi felt his veins were burning and his face was faintly hot.
Lu Haoting was still confiding unconsciously: "It would be great if you were in front of me now, and I could talk to you a few more words, why is it suddenly the Chinese New Year, I'm not ready yet."
"Where is sir?"
Xue Yi's voice came through the metal coil, and Lu Haoting suddenly had an illusion that the distance between the two of them seemed not as far as crossing the ocean, as if they were close at hand, but the distance fell into a blur
