soldiers in front

In the early morning, Bian Xiaoqu lay on the bed and looked at the tall buildings in the distance through the window. She had been looking at the tall buildings in the distance for half an hour, and another 10 minutes passed. There was a knock on the door of her bedroom, and Ji Zheng asked outside the door. : "Xiao Que, are you up yet?"

She raised her head from the pillow and looked at the door: "Brother Ji, I want to sleep for a while."

"I made breakfast, get up and eat breakfast first, and then go back to sleep, okay?"

"Well, good."

Bian Xiaoqu got out of bed, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, and saw Ji Zheng was arranging dishes in the dining room.Breakfast is very simple, white porridge with boiled eggs, made by Ji Zheng.Ji Zheng seldom cooks, but because Aunt Wu is still recuperating, the task of cooking naturally falls on him.He has no talent for cooking. He has cooked rice porridge several times. Either the rice grains are raw or boiled soft. However, the porridge cooked this morning is neither thin nor thick, neither raw nor rotten, just right.

"Try it, today's porridge should be pretty good."

Ji Zheng sat down opposite Bian Xiaoqu, put a bowl of porridge in front of her: "There is no sugar, if you want something sweet, add sugar yourself." Then he put the sugar bowl by her hand.

Bian Xiaoqu put a spoonful of sugar into the porridge, stirred it well and took a sip, raised his head and smiled sweetly at Ji Zheng: "It's delicious."

Ji Zheng looked at her and smiled, peeled another egg and put it on the plate in front of her.

Bian Xiaoqu lowered his head and drank the porridge and asked, "Brother Ji, when will Aunt Wu come back?"

Ji Zheng said: "Aunt Wu is sick, and it will take three or four days to come back."

Bian Xiaoqu paused with his head down, slowly put down the spoon in his hand, looked up at Ji Zheng and asked, "Is it because of me that Aunt Wu is sick?"

Ji Zheng was about to get the sugar bowl in her hand, he paused when he heard this, then calmly brought the sugar bowl in front of him, picked up a spoon to scoop up the white sugar, and asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"

Bian Xiaoqu said softly: "Yesterday afternoon, when I went to the supermarket to buy ice cream, I ran into Aunt Zhu next door. Aunt Zhu asked me if Aunt Wu had come back. I said no. She said... about me Aunt Wu was sent to the hospital because of her ignorance."

Ji Zheng nodded and thought for a moment, then said: "Aunt Wu bumped into a bicycle while helping you buy your favorite cake and hurt her ankle. That's why Aunt Zhu said that."

Bian Xiaoqu looked at Ji Zheng suspiciously: "Really?"

Ji Zheng smiled and said: "Of course it is true, don't think about it."

Bian Xiaoqu was even more puzzled: "But why do they call me crazy?"

The smile on Ji Zheng's face faded, his eyes suddenly cooled down: "Who?"

Bian Xiaoqu didn't want to say more, so he lowered his head and continued to drink porridge.

Ji Zheng gradually pressed the anger on his face into his heart, and said softly: "What they say is a matter of their self-cultivation. You just need to know that you are not what they say."

Bian Xiaoqu nodded lightly: "I see, Brother Ji."

After breakfast, Ji Zheng went back to his room and changed his clothes, and when he was about to go out, the nurse arrived.

Sitting in the dining room, Bian Xiaoqu said to the nurse who opened the door, "Morning, Aunt Jiang."

The nurse smiled and said, "Morning, Xiao Qu. Huh? Dr. Ji is going to work?"

"Well, I'll trouble you to take care of that little one today."

Ji Zheng stood in the entrance and put on his shoes. When he passed by Aunt Jiang, he stopped suddenly and said to her in a low voice, "Xiao Que's mood is not right. If you find her acting abnormally, please contact me in time."

"Okay, I understand."

Ji Zheng drove the car out of the underground garage, drove into the community and walked on the road with fast traffic in the morning rush hour, and received a call from Min Chengzhou within a few meters of driving.

He put on the bluetooth headset: "Huh?"

Min Chengzhou said: "Did you call me after two o'clock last night?"

Ji Zheng stayed silent. He did call Min Chengzhou last night after returning home from the northern suburbs, and wanted to tell Min Chengzhou that there was a body buried on the top of the northern suburbs.But the phone call didn't go through, it is estimated that Min Chengzhou had already fallen asleep at that time.After the phone automatically hung up, he went to the bathroom to wash his face, his skin was agitated by the cold water, and he suddenly woke up, feeling lucky that Min Chengzhou didn't answer the call.

What reason would he use to justify discovering a body buried in the dense forest?The corpse was buried deep in the forest, one meter below the ground. Unless you searched for it with a purpose, even if you accidentally found a piece of soil with a different color from the surrounding surface, who would dig down until Dig up a corpse?

Besides, what was his motivation for going up the mountain?What is the reason for searching in the jungle?What is the purpose of digging down after finding a slightly strange soil?

Min Chengzhou is a very smart person, he will definitely ask to the end to find out the cause and effect of his discovery of the body.And those causes and consequences are not clearly explained by Ji Zheng. If Ji Zheng can't explain clearly, he will be involved in a murder case in vain, and he will even be charged with the crime of "thief shouting to catch the thief".

Before he could find a suitable reason to evade Min Chengzhou's inquisitiveness, he had to conceal the corpse on the top of the mountain in the northern suburbs.

After a short thought, Ji Zheng said: "Huh? Did I call you?"

Min Chengzhou: "...Why don't you check the communication records?"

Ji Zheng smiled and said: "It may be that I accidentally touched it."

"You're really good. Don't call me if you have nothing to do. I get nervous when I answer your call now."

Ji Zheng smiled noncommittally, and when he was about to hang up, he heard Min Chengzhou say: "Exactly, I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Do you remember that night when you called me to Noah's Century Park to chase a deck car, we found a female corpse in the park?"

"Remember, what happened?"

Min Chengzhou laughed endlessly, and said: "The identity of the female corpse has been found out, do you want to know who she is?"

Ji Zheng lowered his voice unconsciously: "Who?"

"Her name is Susie, she's the hostess of the nightclub, and she often appears on stage."

Hearing what Min Chengzhou said, Ji Zheng guessed eighty-nine points in his heart: "Which nightclub?"

Min Chengzhou said word by word: "Deep Sea Club."

Even though he had already guessed it, Ji Zheng still had a chill in his heart when he got the confirmation from Min Chengzhou. He immediately thought of the body named Yang Shu found on the top of the mountain. Yang Shu seemed to be working in the Deep Sea Club.

Min Chengzhou said again: "However, Susie's identity is a bit complicated. She is a black | household. She has no registered permanent residence until now, and she cannot be found in the judicial system. Even the name is chosen by myself."

"Then how do you know her name is Susie?"

"We found her bag, she had a mobile phone in her bag, and got in touch with her roommate. Her roommate has already identified the body."

Ji Zheng paused, and said, "Why tell me this?"

Min Chengzhou smiled very unpleasantly: "I always feel that you still know something. Hearing me say this, do you have anything else to say?"

Ji Zheng pondered for a moment, then asked: "Have you gone to the Deep Sea Club to find Guan Li?"

"Didn't we go together last time, Guan—"

Ji Zheng interrupted him indifferently: "It's not for the missing girl, but for Susie."

Min Chengzhou said: "Not yet, I plan to take someone there in the afternoon."

Ji Zheng said: "What time is it? I will go with you."

"What are you going for?"

"Don't you want to hear something else from me?"

"You really know something else?"

Ji Zheng smiled lightly: "Then do you want to hear it?"

"You said."

"Meet me, tell me before you leave, we will meet directly at the Deep Sea Club."

"Okay, hang up."

When Ji Zheng arrived at the company, he greeted his colleagues all the way into the office. He just took off his suit jacket and hung it on the coat rack when Xiao Jiang knocked on the door: "Dr. room."

"Okay, got it."

Ji Zheng took off his white coat and put it on, then took a cup of hot water and walked out of the office.

The morning meeting didn't last long, but several colleagues organized a small case discussion after the meeting, and Ji Zheng also participated, so he stayed in the meeting room from early morning to lunch time.Dr. Jiang, who was the most experienced among them, dismissed the meeting because he was hungry.

Ji Zheng walked downstairs after a meeting, and met Xiao Jiang in the corridor. Xiao Jiang held a stack of materials that needed to be photocopied and asked, "Doctor Ji, what do you want for lunch? I will help you."

Ji Zheng glanced at his watch and said, "No need, I made an appointment with Xiaohong's mother to visit her home at two noon today."

After speaking, he smiled at Xiao Jiang, went back to the office, changed his white coat, picked up the car keys and mobile phone and went out again.

While driving, he roughly calculated the time required for the journey in his mind, and confirmed that he would be late for at least 10 minutes even if there was a red light all the way, so he called Xiaohong's mother and told the meeting The time was delayed by 10 minutes, and finally arrived at the 'Shanshui City' community before being late for the second time.

Xiaohong's mother was sitting on a bench in front of a flower garden and talking on the phone. From a distance, she saw a tall and straight man coming out of the corner of the terrazzo pavilion, and quickly waved to him: "Doctor Ji, this way."

Ji Zheng was also talking on the phone, raised his hand slightly to her, and then walked towards her unhurriedly.

Miss Dou stood up and took a few steps towards him, Ji Zheng quickly hung up the phone, and smiled apologetically at Miss Dou: "Sorry, I'm late."

Miss Dou smiled and said, "Anyway, I stay at home all day, so it's okay to wait a little longer."

After exchanging pleasantries, Ms. Dou led Ji Zheng through a bluestone road corridor, and arrived in front of the wrought iron gate of a villa, opened the door, and walked in with Ji Zheng.

A 40- to [-]-year-old woman was squatting by the swimming pool in front of the courtyard and cleaning floor tiles. Ms. Dou shouted to her: "Sister Liu, the guests have arrived, hurry up and make tea."

Ji Zheng entered the door and glanced roughly at the living room on the first floor: "Is your husband not there?"

Miss Dou said: "It's still there in the morning, and I flew to England two hours ago. No need to change shoes, no need to change shoes."

Sister Liu made two cups of tea and brought them to the coffee table in the living room. Ji Zheng took a sip and put down the cups, asking, "Where is Xiaohong?"

Miss Dou said, "It's upstairs." She asked the nanny, "Miss Liu, is Xiaohong awake?"

Sister Liu said: "Wake up, just now when I delivered the fruit up, Xiao Hong even opened the door for me."

Miss Dou hurriedly said: "Then let's go up and have a look at Dr. Ji, maybe he will lock the door again in a while, and no one will be seen."

Ji Zheng walked up the stairs with her and asked, "Is Xiaohong willing to meet people these two days?"

"It's much better than before, now we knock on the door, he will open it occasionally, but he will lock the door again soon."

After a few words, Ji Zheng had already reached the second floor. Ji Zheng followed Ms. Dou to a water-blue door. Ms. Dou knocked on the door and said softly: "Xiaohong, it's mom, open the door."

Xiaohong didn't respond, but there was a soft sound of someone moving inside.

"Xiaohong, mom is going in."

After Ms. Dou finished speaking, she tentatively opened the door gently, pushed the door open by the width of a palm, and then pushed the door open completely without hearing her son's obstruction.

Ji Zheng stood at the door and saw the chaos in the room at a glance. Books, toys and quilts were all thrown on the ground, while Xiao Hong was lying on the quilt on the ground and playing with a model airplane.

The door of the room is facing a window, the window glass has been smashed, and a blind is temporarily hung. It was dimly lit.

Miss Dou wanted to clean up the objects thrown by Xiao Hong on the ground, but as soon as she knelt down, Xiao Hong screamed at her, scared Miss Dou quickly dropped the things in her hands, and wanted to go to coax him, but she didn't dare to get close.

Xiaohong stared blankly at his mother, didn't stop until he was out of breath, turned around and lay down on the bedding to continue playing with the model airplane.

Ms. Dou sobbed softly, and said to Ji Zheng: "Doctor Ji, look, Xiao Hong has always been like this, sometimes good and sometimes bad."

Ji Zheng was silent and didn't speak, he gently took her by the shoulders and sent her to the door, and said in a low voice: "I want to be alone with Xiaohong for a while, is that okay?"

"Okay, then be careful, he may bite you."

Ji Zheng smiled and closed the door.

Ms. Dou didn't leave, she just stood outside the door and waited, nervously listening to the movement inside.The strange thing was that there was no sound coming out from the inside, as if the two people inside had disappeared out of thin air.She looked at her watch, Ji Zheng had already been alone with Xiaohong for 10 minutes, and before Ji Zheng came, Xiaohong would only let her stay by her side for no more than 5 minutes at most, which is quite rare.

Sister Liu, the nanny, came up with a plate of snacks, two cups of tea and a glass of juice, and said to Miss Dou, "Madam, let the guests eat something."

Ms. Dou wanted to take a look inside in the name of delivering snacks, so she took her tray and said, "Knock the door for me, and I'll bring it in."

The nanny was about to knock on the door when Ji Zheng's calm voice came from inside: "Miss Dou, you can come in now."

Ms. Dou hurried in with juice and snacks, and saw Xiaohong and Ji Zheng sitting on the floor facing each other, putting together the model airplane.

Ji Zheng took a wheel from Xiaohong's hand, and smiled at Xiaohong: "Can the nanny take you to take a shower? We will continue when you come back."

Xiaohong didn't say anything, stood up obediently and walked towards the door, looked at his mother first, then took the nanny's hand and left.

"Oh my God, Hiro is alright."

Ms. Dou almost cried with joy, she put down the tray and was about to chase after Xiaohong, but Ji Zheng stopped her.

Ji Zheng stood up, straightened the cuffs of his suit, and said solemnly: "Please take me to the tent that Xiao Hong used to go to."

There is a large lawn of more than 100 square meters behind the house, and a flower wall more than one meter high is built beside the lawn, which is only counted as decoration, and green trees are planted outside the wall.The tent is set up in the middle of the lawn, and it still retains the appearance of a week ago.Equivalent to the original form of the 'crime scene'.

"Xiaohong was sleeping in this tent at the time."

Madam Dou said.

The tent is for children, only a meter high, reaching to Ji Zheng's waist.Ji Zheng squatted down, opened the zipper and bent over to walk in. He saw the sleeping bag on the ground, snacks and a telescope at the corner.He picked up the telescope and found that the telescope was not a toy, but a high-performance telescope of real value, with a market price of several thousand yuan.

The tent is very closed, only a "window" is opened facing the entrance. Looking out from the window, you can see the green trees outside the courtyard wall and the buildings shaded by the green trees.

Ji Zheng looked at the green trees outside the window and the villa buildings [-] meters away, and was silent for a moment, then looked at the telescope in his hand again, and found that the lid of the telescope was open, and it seemed that it had been used by the little master before his accident.At this point, Ji Zheng probably already had a guess in his mind, so he took the binoculars out of the tent and said to Miss Dou, "Let's go back to Xiaohong's room to have a look."

Xiaohong went to take a shower, the room was messy and quiet.Xiaohong's mother opened the blinds, revealing the broken window glass that was smashed by Xiaohong.

Ji Zheng stood at the window and looked out. What he saw were still green trees and buildings. The bedroom window of Xiaohong’s room faced the backyard, so the angle seen from the window of the room was almost the same as the angle seen from the window of the tent.

Soon, Xiaohong came back from the shower, wrapped in a white bath towel, although he looked very cute, but his eyes never had any light, like a puppet being manipulated.

The nanny stood in front of the closet looking for clothes for him, and he sat at the end of the bed, looking at his two little feet with empty eyes.

Although he was no longer emotionally hysterical, he still looked lost.Ji Zheng knew very well that calming him down was just a relief. If he wanted to cure him, he had to prescribe the right medicine, so he took two steps towards Xiaohong, raised the binoculars in his hand, and smiled gently at Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, uncle will help you Bring back the telescope."

Xiao Hong turned his head and stared blankly at Ji Zheng. It was a moment later that he saw the telescope in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the telescope for a few seconds, and then he showed horror and trembled all over.

Miss Dou wanted to comfort her son, but before she got close to Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong screamed in the face, as if Xiao Hong was pushing her back.

She was stunned, and quickly hid back in fright. She accidentally bumped into the desk, and an anime character model standing on the edge of the desk fell from the desk and landed on the floor with a soft sound——

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Xiao Hong stared at the doll and froze for a moment, then screamed desperately and curled up on the head of the bed, waving his arms frantically, not letting anyone get close.

Miss Dou and the nanny surrounded him helplessly and anxiously.

Ji Zheng watched for a long time, then suddenly stepped forward, picked up Xiao Hong and left the room, went straight downstairs, even though Xiao Hong beat and bit him on the shoulder, his expression remained unchanged.

With the help of the nanny, Ms. Dou staggered and chased Ji Zheng downstairs with tears in her eyes. As soon as she went down the stairs, she heard Xiao Hong's crying gradually weakened until it disappeared.

She went out of the room and stood under the door, and saw Ji Zheng holding Xiao Hong sitting on a swing under a crabapple tree in the front yard, pointing out the garden full of autumn roses to Xiao Hong, and bending down under the tree He picked up a bright red crabapple fruit and handed it to Xiaohong.

Xiaohong sobbed and took a bite, disliked the taste and threw it away.

Ji Zheng picked up the fruit again and showed him the two ants lying on the fruit.

Xiaohong's mother stood at the door and stared blankly.

Ji Zheng accompanied Xiao Hong to sit on the swing for half an hour. After Xiao Hong calmed down completely, Ji Zheng took him off his lap and put him on the swing, and left under the crabapple tree. .

Ji Zheng walked to the other side of the yard and waved to Miss Dou.

Ms. Dou walked over, and before she had time to say anything, she saw Ji Zheng frowning slightly, and said solemnly: "Let's move."
