murder begins in summer

Shi Zhanyang did it himself and bandaged Qiu Shili tightly. Afterwards, on the bumpy return journey through the forest, he hugged Qiu Shili's shoulders tightly.

It's not that there is no one else in the car, and the air conditioner makes people's noses and hair dry. Qiu Shili was embarrassed, and he pushed Shi Zhanyang, "I'm not cold." He whispered, but Shi Zhanyang circled him even tighter. He didn't even mean to take off his coat.

After a while, his subordinates boiled the hot water and handed it along with the compressed biscuits. Shi Zhanyang asked Qiu Shili to hold the thermos with one hand, and then broke the biscuits into small pieces and fed them to him.

Qiu Shili was so ashamed, he was afraid that if his lips or tongue were not paying attention, he would touch the bony fingers, but Shi Zhanyang always helped him scrape the biscuit crumbs from the corner of his mouth, as if He just heard Shi Yizhou gossip about "brothers", but he didn't care at all.

None of the other people in the car dared to look at them. The guns were all loaded, and emergencies seemed to come at any time. Shi Zhanyang didn't say a word. Before sunrise in the half-light, others couldn't see I can't see his expression, nor can I see his emotions.

Old K suddenly broke the silence, "Boss, the plane is ready and will take off at 08:30."

"Okay, hard work." Shi Zhanyang said, "I will arrive in San Francisco at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, right?"

Old K seemed to have spent some time calculating the time difference, "Yes, there should be no control. Please rest assured." Another subordinate said first.

There was another long silence after that, Shi Zhanyang hugged Qiu Shili in his arms, but looked at the woodland outside the window.Above the canopy of the tree, in the gaps between the branches, there is an ice-like sky, painted with a thin and cold gray-blue color, and the surroundings are boundless and quiet.

Shi Zhanyang was suddenly exhausted. Whether it was the wrangling with the military before, the dispute with his second brother afterwards, or the mother who fell into a coma on the other side of the ocean and was trapped in the ICU counting down the time, they were all hanging on the same side of the scale. To keep your balance, you have to work hard on the other side.Of course he is tired.

He held Qiu Shili's injured hand in his palm, about that kiss, about this injury, maybe he should say something, because Qiu Shili must be more disturbed than him, and he didn't want to say it, but he seemed Aphasia, unable to speak a word.

Therefore, when Qiu Shili called him in his ear, he froze for a moment.

"Brother," Qiu Shili said, "my hand is fine. Skin trauma."

Any deeper would require stitches.Shi Zhanyang thought. "Go home and have a good rest, stop practicing." He was taken aback by his hoarse voice.

Qiu Shili nodded, and said again: "Mom, she... will definitely wait until we go back." Saying this, he put down the water glass, and pulled out his own guard from the neckline. The small blue piece carried the body temperature of his chest. , was placed in Shi Zhanyang's hands, "I made a wish, grandma will definitely bless us."

Shi Zhanyang had heard Qiu Shili say many times about this imperial guard, saying that it was left by his grandma during her lifetime, and that she could grant three wishes and it would be [-]% effective.Although Qiu Shili didn't know who the god behind it was, he firmly believed in its spirituality. When encountering certain situations, he would seriously consider whether to take a chance to make a wish, and would always talk seriously with Shi Zhanyang. Discuss, and finally come to a conclusion that is not worth it.

At this moment, Shi Zhanyang saw his bright eyes, and also saw behind him, on the distant horizon, there was no red sun popping out, but the rosy color of the sunrise.

"Yes, I will." Shi Zhanyang smiled, put Yu Shou back, and hugged Qiu Shili back, "Go to sleep. The airport is still far away." He said softly.

Qiu Shili quickly fell asleep leaning against his chest.Later, on the plane, during take-off and landing, he also quietly next to his elder brother, smelling the smell of dry tobacco, and the faint leather-based perfume, sleeping peacefully.

San Francisco's autumn is still hot, and at nightfall, the evening rush hour still blocks them on the road.It was past seven o'clock when we arrived at the hospital. Mrs. Qiu swung the chair from the ICU to the general ward for the time being, but the rooms next door were all empty, so it must have been cleared after negotiating with the hospital.

Shi Zhanyang watched from outside the door through the glass, she was sunk in the bed quilt, only showing a pale face, surrounded by a few nurses.

The father was also guarding outside the ward, wearing a group of red earrings, standing straight along the wall in a line, all of them bowed their heads, and all of them looked dignified.

"Hurry up and talk to her more." Father stood up and said calmly.He did not seem surprised by the absence of his second son.

"What did the doctor say?" Shi Zhanyang asked.

"It's just these two days, and it may not survive tonight."

After all, his father turned around and was about to leave, and all the subordinates followed him, "Aren't you going to accompany her anymore?" Shi Zhanyang called out.

"All that needs to be said has been said," the father said without looking back. "I'll come back tomorrow. Both of you brothers...she has something to say."

Shi Zhanyang saw his father disappear around the corner, and then the last follower, the red earrings, also disappeared. Shi Zhanyang stood facing the butter-colored wall, holding his forehead for a while, and told Old K and the others to watch outside. Qiu Shili walked into the ward first by himself.

The nurse helped Mrs. Qiu up and asked her to sit down with her pillow. Shi Zhanyang stood a few steps away from the hospital bed and nodded to them. After that, there were only mother and child left in the room.

"Shili rescued?" Mother raised her eyes and asked.

Her voice was too weak and hoarse, Shi Zhanyang came closer, "Outside. He was fine at first, but he got hurt because of me."

"What did the second brother do?"

"Well. He... didn't come back together." Shi Zhanyang didn't dare to shake his mother's hand, "It's my fault, I should knock him out and bring him back."

The mother smiled and shook her head, "Yangyang, you still have to be patient with him, don't be so aggressive, I won't be here in the future, if you quarrel and fight again, no one will help you to reason."

"...Mom! You'll be fine, don't say such things."

Mrs. Qiu still shook her head and smiled.She has been so weak for many hours that she can't even speak, let alone eat or drink water.Now that she is in better spirits, she probably knows that this is the last chance that life leaves her.

"Xiaozhou is not a bad-hearted man, but his personality is too extreme and he tends to go astray, and we didn't pay him enough attention." She paused for a while before continuing, "I know it since I was a child, since he was in the festival Knocked down that old grandma... But you are the big brother, he makes trouble with you, you have to be more patient, let him feel that you are treating him like family."

Shi Zhanyang didn't speak.

"promise me."

Shi Zhanyang was startled, "Okay, Mom."

Mrs. Qiu nodded, and closed her eyes again, "Mom never worries about your work. What I want to talk about now is about you and Shili."

When Shi Zhanyang saw that she was indeed very tired, he said, "You... don't worry. I will definitely take care of ナナ from now on."

Madam Qiu sighed, "You love him."

Shi Zhanyang was stunned for two seconds, he clenched the sideboard of the bed, "No."

"You love him, Yangyang."

"...The elder brother should love the younger brother."

"What about the second child? What about the fourth child?"

"..."

"You don't have to worry about your father's teachings, don't worry about those rules, and don't lie to me to protect him," Mrs. Qiu laughed like a thin paper, "I can see your feelings, I know, then It is an extremely precious thing. It is very lucky to be able to obtain it in one's life."

Shi Zhanyang's eyes were sore, which was an extremely rare feeling for him, "Thank you." All he could say was.

"You made up your mind to protect him for the rest of your life."

"Yes." Shi Zhanyang nodded.

"There is one thing, I've been thinking about when and how I should tell you," Mrs. Qiu motioned Zhanyang to get closer, "Now I don't have to think about it anymore."

Shi Zhanyang dragged a chair and sat down, listening.

"The only ones in our family who know Shili's life experience are the two of us. You still remember his grandmother, who is also your grandmother."

"Eguchi Chiharu." Shi Zhanyang recalled the woman who died of illness nine years ago, the "godmother" of the Eguchi group, the legend of the third generation's heyday.He also recalled that his mother's original name was Kazue Eguchi.This is the fact that he always wanted to ignore.

"The year I took Shili over, I went there in the first summer. It was because my mother was seriously ill, and she knew that time was running out, so she asked me to go to Aomori to help her with things," Mrs. Qiu said softly, "When she was seriously ill, she finished Two things happened."

Shi Zhanyang nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully.

"The first thing," Mrs. Qiu paused, "80s, when I just married your father, the Eguchi group and the Shi family were still cooperating and had a good relationship. At that time, my father was in power, and they got a metal The news of the mine kills all those who have no knowledge of it. In the end, less than five people know the exact location. Although there was no mining and refining technology at the time, it was a huge fortune. The metal is called 'rubidium'. In that mine Inside the field, the reserves are quite abundant.”

Shi Zhanyang's nerves tensed up.He has heard about "rubidium" for a long time. In recent years, it has been very popular in the field of constant temperature glass and battery manufacturing. It can greatly improve the various attributes of products. Some high-tech equipment developed by his own factory is also in demand for it. It is to grab it as a strategic resource.

If a large amount of this kind of minerals falls into the hands of a vicious and vicious gangster who has already declined——

Mrs. Qiu said again: "This matter is absolutely confidential. Later, those who knew it died. Although there were rumors within the Eguchi group, only your mother-in-law Qianchun knew the exact location. Before she passed away, she put this information It is stored in two halves, one half is in a microchip, and the other half is on paper, which is hidden in the ten-mile guard. It needs to be combined to decode."

"Where's the chip?" Shi Zhanyang asked.

Mrs. Qiu opened her eyes wide and looked at him almost in pain, "It was implanted in... Shili's body."

"Body?" Shi Zhanyang clenched his molars, and he warned himself to calm down, "Which part of the body?"

"Heart." Mrs. Qiu closed her eyes again, panting very fast, when she raised her hand to signal Zhan Yang not to move.

Shi Zhanyang nailed it in place, looked at her coldly for a while, and then said: "So, Mom, you went there alone in summer to help Eguchi Chiharu put that thing into her biological grandson's body."

Mrs. Qiu nodded exhaustedly, "The second thing she did was to contact me to discuss surgery and adoption."

"Do chips have any health effects?"

"So far, do you think Shili has been affected?"

"No." Shi Zhanyang had a splitting headache, as if to prove himself, he added, "ナナ is very healthy. Whether it's physical fitness or something."

"It's just that he was too young when the operation was performed, and the situation was too urgent. We all thought that my mother-in-law could last for a few more years."

"You mean, there is a risk of sequelae in the future."

"I don't know." Mrs. Qiu said in vain, "The chip is extremely small, and it needs the kinetic energy generated by the beating of the heart to maintain its effectiveness. It was the most advanced technology at that time."

"Did you... ask Nana for permission?"

"We told him he was sick and needed surgery."

Shi Zhanyang seemed to be being held by the neck, and a bucket of ice water was poured into the neckline, soaking his whole body.He couldn't get angry with his mother, but he did have anger, which burned him from spine to heel, "Can you take it out?"

"can."

"How to get it?"

"You want to take it out?"

"If it affects Nana in the future, of course I will take it."

Mrs. Qiu hesitated for a moment before she said: "This kind of chip can't be seen by CT, and it can't be sensed by any equipment. Only the doctors back then knew the exact location. But it is made of refractory material."

Shi Zhanyang was in a daze, he couldn't think any deeper, "Fire resistance?" He smiled, "What's the use of fire resistance? In order to get it, I burned the ナナ? Don't make such a joke with me."

Mrs. Qiu didn't speak, her eyes were full of sorrow.

"No way, I said, no way," Shi Zhanyang laughed again, "Are you treating him as a container? Raise him, burn it when you want to use it, and then take out the contents?"

"It's a last resort."

"As a last resort... when the Jiangkou Group is so miserable that they can only use that broken mine to make some money, they will arrest Qiu Shili and take that thing from him, from his heart," Shi Zhan said. Yang stood up, trembling with anger, pacing back and forth in front of the bed, "It's really convenient to take it when you want it! Eguchi Chiharu can do this kind of thing to the children she raised, and even called her daughter If you do it together, you really can be a godmother!"

"Yangyang, don't be angry."

"I will never let them succeed, mother." Shi Zhanyang's eyes were full of ice, he leaned over and stared at his mother, "They just come to rob, once robbed, I will take the one named Jiangkou and the one they raised. Kill all those dogs, I will dig out their hearts and burn them."

"My surname is also Jiangkou, and Shili's surname is also Jiangkou."

Shi Zhanyang was stunned, covered his face, and sat down with his back to her.

"Don't worry, the only ones who know about this matter are the two of us now, that lunatic Eguchi sparrow, you have to beware... In the beginning, I used this method to keep the secret, and I raised Shili in such a remote Aomori County since I was a child. In order to prevent the news from falling into the hands of the family, the mother-in-law does have selfish intentions and does not want this wealth to decline. Raising Shili does mean raising a "container". Entrusted to us." After speaking so much in one breath, Mrs. Qiu's voice dropped significantly, and she coughed, "From now on, you will be the only one in this world who knows about this matter. And only you know that Shili's original name was Jiangkou Hongsheng. In the eyes of others, he is just an orphan from Japan, the illegitimate son named Eguchi Hongsheng, who died when he was born."

Shi Zhanyang turned his head and looked at his mother without blinking.

"I regret it. These years, I watched Shili grow up, and I regret it every day." Mrs. Qiu had already shed tears, "That rubidium mine...even if I can't find it again, so what. Shili, a child , he is innocent."

Shi Zhanyang said very clearly: "If regret is useful, I hope you will regret it too."

Mrs. Qiu raised her hand full of tubes, and wiped her tears briefly, "Yangyang, what you can do now is to keep the secret forever, keep the Jiangguchi group from Qiu Shili forever, and don't even let him know that your surname is Jiangkou. If the Eguchi group suspects him and it is not good for him, you have to protect him at all costs, and you use all the power of the Shi family. As for the chip...just pretend it doesn't exist."

"It would be best if it could always act as if it didn't exist." Shi Zhanyang's calmness seemed a bit cruel.

"That's the best." Mrs. Qiu repeated slowly.

"Do you know where the doctor who first operated on him is?"

"If he is still alive, he should be in China," Mrs. Qiu said slowly. "He was in his early 50s, a tall man with only one ear. His surname seems to be Qin, Qin from the Qin Dynasty."

"Okay." Shi Zhanyang nodded slightly, and just looked at his mother steadily.

"Do you have something to say to Nana? I'll tell him to come in." He said again.

"Let's listen together."

The door finally opened, Qiu Shili saw Shi Zhanyang coming out, expressionless.He stood up from the chair, was led in by Shi Zhanyang, and stood still by the bed. He couldn't help breathing, surprised at the red eyes and gray face of his adoptive mother-it's just over a week since he saw each other, alone But it can be so weak that the whole body reveals the information of dying.

Shi Zhanyang suddenly grabbed his wrist, slipped down again, and took his hand.The two palms are stacked, the fingers are interlocked, and the shoulders are close together.

Qiu Shili became nervous, as if the tip of his heart was being stirred slightly by a fine hair.In his eyes, this is something only a couple can do... His eldest brother, the person he admires, the person he has the courage to kiss and makes him worry about gains and losses all night... Although the elder brother must not have thought of this level, but holding hands The action is still not appropriate in front of the mothers of the two.

Madam Qiu was indeed looking at their hands, but she was smiling.That smile was as warm as a well-burned coal in the stove.Shi Zhanyang also looked down at his mother calmly, without any intention of letting go.

Qiu Shili thought silently, this is like an oath, and this is an oath.Even if only you understand it this way, it is enough to satisfy you.

The adoptive mother didn't say much, but lightly touched the bandage on his hand, saying that he would definitely grow taller in the future, and that she felt sorry for letting him kill Xiaoqi back then, and said that she and her brother would support each other in the future , Mutual understanding, no matter what happens, we must believe each other as the closest person.

Qiu Shili agreed, this is what he must do, he just felt very sad to see his adoptive mother like this.He had lost his dearest grandma, but at that time he was too young and his memory was too vague; he had also lost a cat, but at this moment he may be about to lose a living person who took care of him a lot.But he couldn't hold back his tears after all, because his elder brother didn't cry either.

Then they went out from the ward, leaving mother with the doctors and nurses.In a hurry, they had a quick meal in the restaurant on the ground floor of the hospital. Shi Zhanyang didn't talk much, but he still did the same. He held the pizza in the palm of his hand and passed it to Qiu Shili to eat.

Afterwards, they went upstairs and went back to watch outside the ward. At night, Mrs. Qiu was admitted to the ICU again. When she came out again, at three or four in the morning, she was not breathing.

The father also came, facing the withered and withered wife, he didn't say a word, but tears flowed.The deep and shallow grooves on his face were wet, and he didn't say much to his two sons. He just stood by the bed with his head bowed, surrounded by the same solemn and quiet red earrings, but no one shared his unbearable grief.

Qiu Shili stood outside the human wall and looked at him through the gap. He had never felt that his stern and coquettish adoptive father had such a stooped and old back.

The tears that had been pent up in my heart rushed to my eyes, and sobs welled up in my throat.

Shi Zhanyang beside him hugged him in good time.He held Qiu Shilihuan in his arms and let him wipe his tears on his front.He also gently and firmly kissed Qiu Shili's hair, or it was just a kind of friction between the tip of his lips and nose and hair.

I love you, ナナ, there is nothing wrong, I love you.

he thought silently.
