murder begins in summer

It was destined to be a sleepless night, and the subsequent auctions all faded away. Everyone talked about the feat of the eldest son of the Shi family, and the buzz of discussions kept buzzing in the circular hall.Shi Zhanyang himself was also absent-minded, as if he planned to stay until the end purely for politeness.

After Qiu Shili sat down, he stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "Thank you, brother."

He knew that Shi Zhanyang didn't want to hear this, but he thought he had to say it, it was more like a rather sacred procedure, if he didn't say it, he didn't know how to express his feelings.

Sure enough, Shi Zhanyang said: "Thank you, I'm not buying you toys. If you don't put my brother on the road, how can you help me work in the future?"

He raised his arm, and Qiu Shili leaned on his shoulder, like a docile puppy that has developed a habit, being hugged by him, the whole series of movements were done in one go, and it couldn't be smoother.

"I know." Qiu Shili said, "Many people disapprove of me, brother can't stand it anymore."

Shi Zhanyang smiled and said, "Nana knows a lot. Do you know what someone calls you?"

"What do you call me?" Qiu Shili arched his head and looked up at Shi Zhanyang.

Shi Zhanyang's face froze, almost showing his secrets, he thought, I can't be a perverted brother, he pondered again. "I don't know, it's just that there are a lot of idlers who like nicknames." He pushed Qiu Shili down, avoiding his overly straightforward gaze, "I'm curious what they named you."

Qiu Shili frowned suspiciously, then raised his head again, "Did someone give you a nickname, sir?"

Hearing this tone, he was planning to beat someone as soon as he returned to his lair. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening for no reason, Shi Zhanyang became the peacemaker, "No, let's die."

Only then did Qiu Shili relax a little bit of strength, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, whether it's to convince my family, stop gossiping, or win fame for myself, these are all things I should accomplish myself."

Shi Zhanyang laughed loudly, and patted him on the shoulder twice, "Oh, I'm sorry, I stole Nana's job, and I will never dare again in the future."

Qiu Shili also laughed, "What are you doing?"

Shi Zhanyang had a good attitude, "Admit your mistake."

Qiu Shilikong opened his mouth, tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Watching the auction! Brother, don't laugh or talk!"

Shi Zhanyang lowered his voice very low, and raised one hand, "One last question, young master, you are bored now, what do you want to do most?"

Qiu Shili thought for a while, and said seriously: "Find a bad guy to fight, and see if my dagger is still pretty."

"Then you have to wait, the dagger is still on the lower floor, and with that bearded man, it's like buying one and getting one free." Shi Zhanyang looked worried, "And if you fight on the boat, you will be thrown into the sea. We I can only find a way to drift to a small island and wait for the boat to pass by the shore every day, or find an aborigine to be my wife."

"...You are really not allowed to speak anymore!" Qiu Shili protested in a low voice, about to get out of his arms.

Shi Zhanyang pressed him back again, feeling inexplicably relieved, so he kept quiet.

In fact, what he just said was not completely nonsense. They really couldn't get the lot this night. Whether it was the handover of the dagger or the signing of the purchase contract, they were all arranged in the afternoon more than ten hours later.

Finally, the auction ended successfully after the sale of a set of Peruvian gold funerary objects. It was almost dawn, and Shi Zhanyang led Qiu Shili and a few close friends to have a drink. When they returned to the room, there were few people around. Most passengers have closed their doors to rest, and only some service areas are still open.

"I think I'm going to sleep until the afternoon." Qiu Shili yawned.

"I'll drag you up for lunch." When Shi Zhanyang said, he also yawned. Qiu Shili glanced at him meaningfully and smiled, which probably meant "you must have woken up later than me." ".

Shi Zhanyang turned his face away, scratched his hair, and just wanted to go back to the room and take a shower. At this moment, they passed by a bar, and an Asian woman was sitting there with her back to them, leisurely stirring the cocktail in front of her with a straw .

Qiu Shili recognized from her figure and clothes that this woman was the one who kept raising the price of the military factory just now. When Zhan Yang saw that, he stared at her with a strange expression, and he slowed down his pace accordingly.

As Qiu Shili expected, the woman turned her head back and took a look, then jumped off the high stool and walked in front of them.She was tall and thin, and a rigid black dress could not hide her youth. Qiu Shili noticed that the shoulders and arms above the tube top were full of effective muscles.That is the result of directed training.

What is even more noteworthy is that there is a hideous red mark at the base of her left neck.It was an old bullet grazing.

"Cousin, didn't you say hello to me just now?" She complained, speaking in Japanese.

"Miss Jiangguchi." Shi Zhanyang smiled and shook hands with her, and also spoke Japanese, "It's getting late, drinking outside alone?"

"I'm waiting for you guys." Eguchi raised her eyes, her makeup that was no longer fresh late at night, coupled with the dim light, made her look like a Japanese doll with red lips on paper, and she stretched out to Qiu Shili with a smile. Right hand, "Hello, little brother ナナ, I often hear my brother mention you, what a pity, he died too early."

"Hello, Miss Eguchi." Qiu Shili shook hands with her, feeling deep and shallow calluses.He was already sure that this was the newly appointed leader of the underworld organization after the death of Qiu Jiangkouque.The body has already been strained before the brain—Qiu Shili is very clear that the family and the Eguchi group have started to fight each other in recent years, and the death of the adoptive mother certainly has a more negative effect on the relationship between the two families.

"Just call me Risako." The young team leader was also touching Qiu Shili's gun cocoon, but his eyes were on Shi Zhanyang, "Cousin won't blame me for raising the price. If you don't raise the price, you will lose it." The face of the Shi family, isn't it?"

"Yes, I want to thank you." Shi Zhanyang stared at the two folded hands inadvertently, and chuckled with a cigar between them.

Risako let go of Qiu Shili, shook her cigarette case again, and turned the opening to Qiu Shili.

"He doesn't smoke." Shi Zhanyang said.

Risako nodded, made a bored expression, lit herself a thin white cigarette for women, and slowly took a puff, "I've been on the same boat these days, and we haven't enjoyed anything together, so someone should laugh at us if we talk about it." This one."

"Haha, there is nothing interesting on this boat, the wine is mixed, and the dishes are not fresh." Shi Zhanyang narrowed his eyes gently, "Go to San Francisco to find us when you have time."

Risako smiled, "Of course, you have to take good care of me, I'm here to wait for you until now, just to say a few words, I don't have the demeanor of a brother."

"It's really late, and girls should go to bed earlier." Shi Zhanyang seemed indifferent, and gently pushed Qiu Shili's back, letting him walk in front of him, "Good night."

"Hongsheng!" Risako suddenly called out.

Qiu Shili didn't know why, but Shi Zhanyang turned his head and frowned at her, "What Hongsheng?"

"Sorry." Risako took a deep breath, showing a weary smile, looking serious, "I just thought that if the child is still alive, he should be about the same age as little brother ナナ. His name is Hongsheng , very beautiful." She looked at Qiu Shili again, "Nana, you are really lucky to have a brother who loves you so much and is willing to do so many things for you."

"Thank you," Qiu Shili said cautiously, "good night."

"Good night." Risako waved her hand, and the smoke was caught between her thin white fingers and bright red nails, and it swayed and dissipated by her hand.

When he finally returned to the house, Shi Zhanyang thought he would fall asleep while waiting for Qiu Shili to come out of the shower, but he was actually completely sleepy.They may know more than they expected.

However, for the time being, there is no need to be too nervous. Lawrence just sent the accurate news that Risako registered to board the ship alone. For the remaining few days, she will guard Qiu Shili every day, and she can't make any splashes.

After that, he will bring Qiu Shili back to San Francisco. After that, of course, he will continue to guard Qiu Shili, work and live together, and it will be nothing for the rest of his life.

Thinking like this, the bathroom door was pushed open, Qiu Shili stood in the furry light and steam, Shi Zhanyang saw his snow-white bathrobe clearly, "Brother," he heard him ask, "Who is Hongsheng?"

"The illegitimate son of Eguchi Yamato of the fourth generation, the younger brother of Eguchi Sparrow and Eguchi Risako, died at birth." Shi Zhanyang said simply, picked up the change of clothes from the bed, and walked to the door, "Is the door locked?"

"It's locked." Qiu Shili rubbed his eyes and nodded slowly.

"Sleep well." At the moment when they rubbed shoulders, Shi Zhanyang smiled, and pinched Qiu Shili's face as usual. After that, Qiu Shili touched his own face, knelt on the bed, folded his hands and prayed to the Lord, prayed His elder brother had a good night's sleep, praying for a clear sky and spectacular clouds over the sea, and also praying that he would get the dagger the next day and be able to use it skillfully and calmly.

Whether Shi Zhanyang had a good night's sleep was unknown, and there were no clouds on the sea, but Qiu Shili's knife skills against that kind of dagger did not regress.In the afternoon after waking up, he turned the knife in his hand with excitement on his face. It was thinner than the original one, but harder and heavier, like a piece of meteorite.

A certain part of his soul seemed to have awakened just then. Qiu Shili's palms felt hot and he wished he could find someone to fight for his life with a knife in his hand. Shi Zhanyang helped him pin the knife to his lower back with a smile.

"I won't confiscate it." Qiu Shili suddenly remembered the rule that no weapons were allowed on board.

"This is what they sold to us, and it's the same as the necklace that the princess wears around her neck," Shi Zhanyang said solemnly, "I'll see who dares to accept it."

Qiu Shili was relieved, Shi Zhanyang's gentle voice gave him a weird illusion for a moment - he was also a princess.

Risako didn't show up that day, and the boat was too big, so it seemed difficult to make a face-to-face meeting.At nightfall that day, Shi Zhanyang and Qiu Shili sat drinking Chinese black tea in a small hall on the third floor. There were a total of four groups of round sofa chairs, and they were the only ones in this group.

In fact, Shi Zhanyang's professionalism told him that a confined space with few people and such dim light is not a wise choice, especially when Risako is also on board, they can go to a more lively place place for tea.But this hall happened to be showing the "Titanic" that Qiu Shili had always wanted to see. He had been looking forward to it since he first boarded the ship and saw the project list, but Shi Zhanyang couldn't confess to him the current risks.

The only things that Shi Zhanyang can do are to accompany him, cover his eyes when the camera is unsuitable for children, and one more thing, take the pocket Glock 42 pistol on his body for self-defense—this ship Ships can actually carry weapons, at least Shi Zhanyang can, but he doesn't want to do too much, thinking that carrying too many will make it feel like a vacation.

He folded the turtleneck of the sweater, thinking silently, isn't it unlucky to show such a movie on the ship?The British really don't pay attention to Feng Shui when they do business.However, when the film is finished, another day will be over, and he will soon be able to take Qiu Shili home. Although there is a high possibility of quarreling with his father, it is not bad, he thought again.

The movie was shown slowly, the ship began to sink, and the parting of life and death came as promised.

Qiu Shili was very nervous. Every time he saw a similar plot, his eyes would get sore. It would be too embarrassing if he shed tears. He didn't have the maturity and stability that a man should have. How could he grow into the kind of "bright and outstanding" his elder brother said? , firm man"?What's more, this seat is different from a movie theater now, he and Shi Zhanyang are facing each other sideways, and there is no room for him to hide.

He was biting his lips to hold back his tears, when he suddenly saw a light at the door, followed by noises, someone came in, it was a gray uniform pushing a small cart.

Immediately afterwards, the door closed, the gray uniform did not go out, bent over to tidy up, Qiu Shili turned his face to the small screen, watching him vigilantly from the corner of his eye, looking over the back of the sofa and the top of the elder brother's head, from his angle, he could See more clearly.

The gray uniform half-kneeled on the ground, Qiu Shili stared at him even more closely, suddenly, a certain intuition rushed to his forehead, and he held his breath.

"Brother," he lowered his voice very low, "that person is wrong."

"Yes." Shi Zhanyang didn't show any shock.

"What... is he holding in his hand?"

"Beretta 92, the sound of loading is so loud."

Shi Zhanyang was too calm, and the volume of his voice was too small. In the affectionate farewell of the hero and heroine, Qiu Shili took a little effort to hear clearly.But in this way, even though he didn't hear any loading sound, his head still buzzed, "He's aiming."

"Yes, but he only has one muzzle." Shi Zhanyang was still watching the movie relaxedly, and the Glock in his hand was quietly ready to go, "ナナ, don't panic, I said one, two, three, you stay where you are Lie down now, okay?"

Qiu Shili gritted his teeth, everything happened too fast, he knew that Shi Zhanyang was used to protecting him.But he is not unarmed, the knife is on his waist, the weight and size are suitable, but at this angle, there is an obstructive tea table between him and the gray uniform, Qiu Shili has no confidence in his accuracy. On Zhanyang's sofa, it's all right.

Quickly, an idea became clearer in his mind——Shi Zhanyang had taught him before that in times of crisis, it would be beneficial to protect himself to do something unimaginable.This is indeed risky, and may cause the opponent to run away temporarily, but practice has proved that this brings a greater chance of winning. The opponent needs to spend energy to react, but he does not need it. This means that he has advantages in attention and time.

The key is what the eye-catching gesture is and how it works.

Qiu Shili decided to take a gamble, one head and one back, the advantages and disadvantages were too obvious, he didn't want Shi Zhanyang to gamble, so he could only hold the cards in his own hand, Shi Zhanyang's finger was already on the trigger, turned around and confronted or shot The sound was only a split second, and the time left for Qiu Shili was limited to a few seconds.

"Don't move." He said with his lips, and suddenly stood up halfway, and jumped onto the sofa. He swiftly rode on Shi Zhanyang's lap, put his left hand around the back of his head and stroked it, and put his elbow on the sofa behind him The cushion, the cheek was rubbed against his ear, his eyes were half-closed, and his breath was hot.From a distance, it looked like a slow-moving lingering relationship between lovers. The man on the opposite side was indeed momentarily stunned. The original target was protected by a hand. He didn't seem to want to hurt Qiu Shili, and it was difficult to aim alone under such circumstances.

With his right hand behind his back, Qiu Shili saw the man clearly out of the corner of his eye and estimated the distance. He knew it wasn't lingering, Shi Zhanyang seemed to understand too, their fingertips touched on the handle of the knife, "Don't panic, be more confident in your shots." The deep voice brushed past his ears, Qiu Shili fixed his target without blinking in an instant, and drew his knife without hesitation. Quickly stab through a nearly straight line.

At the same time, the hands covering his waist pressed him to the sofa with a huge force, pressing on Shi Zhanyang, hiding behind the sofa.

Time seems to be slowed down, but it can actually be counted in microseconds.There was the sound of the knife tip piercing the flesh, the sound of blood spattering, and the clang of the human body falling to the ground.

The gun fired only once, and the bullet grazed the top of the mat, passed a dozen centimeters above their bodies, and nailed into the iris-patterned side wall.

"Dead." Qiu Shili said tremblingly.He and Shi Zhanyang's noses were touching, and their eyes were facing each other. Just now, he exerted too much force and too fast, and his wrist hurt, but now his heart was beating even more painfully, and his pulse crazily hit the wall of the blood vessel, rushing all over his body.

He just killed someone.

But now he is hugged by his elder brother like a lover.

"Yes, he's dead." Shi Zhanyang replied, still very calm, still hugging his waist, stroking slowly as if comforting.

Qiu Shili gradually felt safe, "He was the one who held up the sign for Eguchi Risako at the auction."

"Is that so? We should get the knife back now and go to a crowded place quickly," Shi Zhanyang freed up a hand to help him wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, "Lawrence will clean up the corpse, and I have movies in my computer , take your time."

"En. Yes." Qiu Shili replied, but he didn't move, he still lay on Shi Zhanyang's body like this, looking at each other so closely.

"Right? ナナ." Shi Zhanyang asked softly, he suddenly smiled, and put his head on the back of his head as Qiu Shili had just protected him.

"Yes." Qiu Shili wanted to nod, but failed. Maybe he should sit up, but also failed.Shi Zhanyang suddenly hugged him very tightly, with one hand tightly wrapped around his waist, the warmth of his palm was pressed against him through the shirt, wishing to make red marks on him, while the other hand pressed against him The neck, and the lips that had been close to touching just now collided so abruptly that Qiu Shili was tenderly held before he could feel the pain.

Shi Zhanyang breathed gently, and licked his lips tightly, not too forcefully, nor too reserved.Qiu Shili was completely blank for two seconds, then opened his mouth panting, and accepted it shyly, just like he used to learn knives, guns and fighting, he followed Shi Zhanyang's rhythm, enjoying his patience, and tried to bite him lips, sucking the tip of his tongue.

Indeed, he was limp, he felt too hot and numb, but he couldn't help but wanted to tremble, as if he was about to roll down at any time, so he opened his shoulders in a panic, and hugged him back like a driftwood The eldest brother, with his legs clamped on both sides of that thin waist.The sound of tsk tsk water makes people feel embarrassed, and the tangle of lips and tongue is too long, too squishy, ​​as if the mouth is the most vulnerable part of a person, and it should not be so naked and direct.But the soft caress on the back is still there, and those pool-like eyes are still looking at him so preciously, the pupils are pure black, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, containing a river of stars.

The kiss between the two of them opened their mouths, it turned out to be this kind of feeling, Qiu Shili thought falteringly, like a dream, even more beautiful than a dream.
