murder begins in summer

The fourth child of his family was rescued, and one of the two who eloped also died. Shi Zhanyang managed the matter reasonably well. He took Qiu Shili home as agreed, and his father didn't say much.

However, after dinner that day, his father called him to the office on the fourth floor, poured him a glass of sweet wine, and poured himself a half glass. The two of them stood by the window with two Burgundy glasses, watching Sunset at the manor in late spring.

"The second brother's business is not something that can be cut off from his family just by getting out." The father said, "Although he has indeed been his best friend in recent years and has recruited a lot of business there, but what you said Drug dealers always recognize the brand of the Shi family, not Shi Yizhou alone."

Shi Zhanyang thought, wouldn't it be more difficult to break if he didn't get out?That will just keep attracting more difficult flies.

It's still his fault that he didn't do it right - if he hadn't been relentless at the time and had completed 100% of the tasks given by his father, then there would be no room for so many high-sounding discounts on the terms of the agreement.After all, no matter what his father was, he would not break his word.

But that was his own choice, and if he regretted it, it would not be him.So he just said, "I know."

The father said again: "You let Carina go, I actually thought of it too. This is something you will do. So I can let you do it with confidence."

Shi Zhanyang turned his face away and looked at his father in surprise.

Father's face showed a dull red under the setting sun, "Is she okay?"

"Not very good." Shi Zhanyang admired his father's expression of deep pain, "Probably crazy, but still alive."

"You've thought of that too, right?" he said again.

Shi Zhanyang has already understood that his father doesn't want Carina to die at all. He only planned to agree to bring back Qiu Shili for the two conditions he raised at the beginning. How could he let go of a lot of money?

As for Haikou's boasting at the beginning, it was only because he knew that he couldn't kill his mother in front of Yaodi.

This is simply reasonable, Shi Zhanyang thought, how ridiculous.

"Yangyang," my father took a few sips of wine silently, and said suddenly, "You hate me, I know."

"You know again." Shi Zhanyang said with a smile, "I don't think I hate anyone."

"You think I'm sorry for your mother, and I'm sorry for you."

Shi Zhanyang also took a few sips of the sweet and mellow wine, and shook his head, "Dad, when you were my age, did you think it was important to be sorry?"

"Yes, you are too young," the father looked at him. "Your mother always said that I let you enter the industry too early."

Shi Zhanyang didn't speak any more. He looked at the Filipino maids cleaning the car downstairs and drank the wine slowly. By the end of the drink, their figures had disappeared into the night.

"This wine is very good. It is said that red wine with high sugar content can give people a proper sense of satisfaction," Shi Zhanyang lowered his eyelashes, and clinked glasses with his father with an empty glass, "Good night, I wish you a sweet dream."

Sure enough, Qiu Shili was waiting for him in the small living room at the top of the stairs on the second floor. This time, he was accompanied by Yu Feng, the fourth child. One was neatly dressed and the other was wearing cartoon pajamas. The two were playing a kind of card game with great interest.

The fourth child's face was clean, while Qiu Shili had already pasted three or four thin notes on his face.

Shi Zhanyang squatted down by the coffee table, and quickly understood the rules to join them. After all, he was an old fox who swept the poker table. As a result, after the last few rounds of games, he was the one who had the most cards posted.

Qiu Shili propped his chin on the table, looked at his elder brother suspiciously, sniffed his nose and then raised his hand, peeling off the "pillars of shame" on his face one by one, "Brother, you drank too much .”

"Well, it's possible." Shi Zhanyang smiled, as if quite satisfied with his tragic situation.

Shi Yufeng drank two sips of the warm milk brought by the old butler, and said with a bored face: "He did it on purpose, he was letting us."

Qiu Shili fiddled with the paper wrapped around his finger, tilted his head and asked, "Is that so?"

Shi Zhanyang waved his hand, "The fourth brother is talking nonsense."

Later, when accompanying the housekeeper to send the fourth child back to bed, while Qiu Shili was away, Shi Zhanyang pinched Brother Yao's face as punishment for exposing him, but he saw that the child raised his face, still looking at the boring crowd Look, "If you teach him how to play and win easily, he will be happier."

Shi Zhanyang was taken aback, thinking it made sense.

Shi Yufeng walked into the bedroom, rubbed his eyes again and said, "You two are so annoying, I will play with the nanny in the future."

When Shi Zhanyang wanted to make an excuse, the old butler shut the door on the grounds that "children need to go to bed early".

In fact, it wasn't just Shi Zhanyang who had a headache about raising a child, Qiu Shili also basically had no idea.He always felt that the child had just experienced that kind of thing, and he would have psychological shadows and emotional instability, but the actual problem was that the fourth child's emotions were a little too stable, and he didn't seem to find it annoying, but he didn't find it interesting either. .

The eldest brother bought him a bunch of gadgets, game consoles, comics, trains, remote control racing cars, and remote control airplanes. He played in a mediocre way, and his favorite was a little black dog. He took him to the wind cannon in the woods every day, and he must hug him at night. sleep.

On occasional free nights, Qiu Shili would watch his younger brother in the game room with his eldest brother, aiming to create some warm and happy family time, but he always made himself drowsy.Shi Yufeng would stuff comic books or game controllers into their hands to refresh their minds and would like to share them with them.

The only exception is the puppy, no one is allowed to touch it, and they are not allowed to go for a walk together.

"Is Xiaofeng...still estranged from us? Is he afraid of us?" Qiu Shili asked secretly.

Shi Zhanyang thought for a while, and said: "It should be because we are afraid that we will be in a bad mood one day and kill his puppy. Or he just thinks we are boring, like the kind of outdated and annoying parents."

After speaking, he laughed.

Qiu Shili couldn't help being teased, and he blushed as expected, and grabbed the elder brother's hand, "Brother, don't say that..."

He found that Shi Zhanyang always likes to talk nonsense in a serious manner recently.

But he found that he also seemed to like listening to it.

However, although Qiu Shili likes to get along with strange children like Yaodi and feels that he has this responsibility, he can't always stay at home after all. The civil strife in Somalia, the outbreak of the Darfur issue, and the Russian-Georgian dispute... In the past few years, there have been many places that are not peaceful, and their business has continued to flow.

Not only was it about signing the order and delivering the goods, Shi Zhanyang also took Qiu Shili to several military factories, including the "Progressor" that was acquired by Million Dollar Club. Qiu Shili met many friends who were in the front line of R&D and production I found that they all got along very well with the eldest brother, and also saw various laboratories and assembly lines.

"From now on, Nana will run errands for me." The elder brother said, patting him on the shoulder.

Among them, a genetic engineering laboratory in Pennsylvania seems to be very important, equipped with a large number of guards, and of course has a large amount of funds.This was established by Shi Zhanyang with his own money. He explained to Qiu Shili that this is the area where he can make money in the future.

Qiu Shili was amazed at the two zebras with exactly the same color.

Although running around constantly and seeing blood is not uncommon, Qiu Shili still benefits from being away from home. Shi Zhanyang is much closer to him than at home.When they were in a hurry, they rested next to each other on the huge transport cargo plane, with sabers on their legs and guns on their waists. Together with their brothers, Shi Zhanyang often hugged him, or slept peacefully on his shoulders When they are calm, they will live in a hotel or a long-term rented apartment and sleep together alone.

Of course it was covered with the same quilt, and Shi Zhanyang even held Qiu Shili in the bath. It was an early morning in Miami, by the sea, in his own house, and he firmly wrapped Qiu Shili between his legs. Touch him slowly.

There was also a night on the grasslands of Central Africa, when the starry sky in early autumn seemed like melted silver. They had just finished negotiating with the buyer, passing through the artillery-filled battlefields of nearby towns, and drove into the truce zone to rest.A group of guys burned fires and scalded knives not far away to pick out the shrapnel stuck into the flesh of the wounded. After they were bandaged, they huddled together and shared canned beef. Only the two of them lay on the hood of the off-road vehicle and watched the Milky Way. Zhan Yang simply wiped the cannon fodder on Qiu Shili's face with his palm, kissed him deeply, and laughed silently while kissing.

Although it took so long to make it to the last step, every time Qiu Shili wanted to eat that thing, he was firmly rejected, but Shi Zhanyang kissed almost every part of his body.Qiu Shili is already very satisfied. For those naked hugs and intimate whispers, as well as for the patient teaching and absolute trust at work, he understands that he exists and should exist. He is needed.So he passed each day with almost gratitude.

In a blink of an eye, autumn passed and winter came, and they spent Thanksgiving at home.During dinner, the largest restaurant on the first floor was filled with a whole long table, not only family members, but also capable subordinates, acquainted relatives and friends, as well as friends made on the road, rookies in a certain industry... Three teachings, nine first-rate, black The white ones gathered here bustlingly.

Although his father was sitting at the head of the table, Shi Zhanyang was sitting first in the left row, opposite to the Chief of the California Police Department.Qiu Shili sat in the second seat, facing Shi Yizhou.

After the roast goose was finished and the cider sparkling wine was poured out one by one by the housekeeper, the father suddenly chatted with the sheriff about the children in the family.

He found the right topic. As soon as he talked about his only daughter, the tall, strong, blond man talked endlessly, excitedly stroking the beard above his lips, and said that his angel had graduated from college and was studying art history at Berkeley. The graduate student of the school said that she can play the harp, paint oil paintings, and make the best scrambled eggs, and so on.

The father has been happily responding to him, saying that it is great to have a daughter, but when the police chief asked about Shi Zhanyang again, saying that he is a young talent, and that he already had a daughter at this age, the old man went along with it. Promptly suggested, "Let the two children meet? Christmas is coming, and we are discussing to buy some gifts for the family."

The sheriff repeatedly said hello.

The whole table looked at Shi Zhanyang, except Qiu Shili, who lowered his head and silently dealt with the puff pastry of seafood soup.

Shi Zhanyang also raised his glass, and said with a smile: "I'm very honored, but I just hope Qianjin doesn't think my smell of blood is too strong, and my words are too rough."

The father laughed heartily, and the sheriff also laughed, "Don't think that we policemen are free!" He also raised his glass, "I'm not weaker than you in that kind of smell. Don't women just like this kind of charm?" ?"

"Of course." Shi Zhanyang's smile deepened, and he clinked glasses with the sheriff, making a crisp sound.

The atmosphere heated up again, and people chatted all over the place. Shi Zhanyang listened to the sheriff continue to babble about his daughter, and as if nothing had happened, he cracked open the lobster shell and put the snow-white shrimp meat on Qiu Shili's plate.Qiu Shili saw his hands, his wrist watch, and his dimly lit obsidian cufflinks, but he couldn't raise his head to turn to look at him.

The sheriff stayed in the manor for two days, and Shi Zhanyang accompanied him to ride horses, hunt hares, and go fishing on the half-frozen lake in the middle of the forest, just like an old friend.I met Qiu Shili by the lake, and Qiu Shili was holding up his camera and taking pictures of the withered and yellow reeds.

The sheriff called the well-known adopted son of the Shi family to him and asked him what he was filming.

"The emerald bird." Qiu Shili handed him the camera, "I was scared away just now."

The sheriff squinted at the small group of emerald green dots in the picture, and squinted at him again, "Are you Japanese?"

"Yes." Qiu Shili nodded.

"A hard-working nation, conscientious and cautious," the police chief threw the camera into his hand, "People don't seem to grow up."

Holding the camera, Qiu Shili was speechless for a while, and could only smile politely, but when Shi Zhanyang flicked a fishing rod and the bait fell into the freezer, he said: "It should be said that they are a very elegant nation. Their world It has a strange and mysterious beauty. For example, the Japanese have written beautiful and unique sentences to praise the little bird, called haiku.”

"Haiku?" The sheriff was interested.

"Emerald Shadow こんこんとちり." Shi Zhanyang read softly, with the correct rhythm.

"What do you mean?" The sheriff looked at him in surprise, then at Qiu Shili.

Qiu Shili stopped being stunned, "The shadow of the emerald bird is rolling upstream. It means that kind of bird flies upstream against the current."

Through the white air he exhaled, and through the cold sunlight like a winter film, his eyes were sore, and he saw the warm smile of his elder brother.

On the day when the sheriff was sent away, Shi Zhanyang also went out. To be precise, he followed the sheriff to get to know his daughter. He didn't explain too much to himself.Qiu Shili had no work to do for a while, so he stayed at home with nothing to do. He practiced shooting in the morning and cooked minced beef shank for the fourth dog's puppy in the afternoon.

Father left for Hawaii to avoid the cold, Shi Yizhou was not there during the day, and returned home in the evening, helping out in the kitchen for the first time. During dinner, only the three of them were sitting at the dining table, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward in silence.

Shi Yufeng was still the same, didn't say a word, ate very quickly, and left the table in a few minutes, so only the two more embarrassing ones remained.Shi Yizhou suddenly put down the knife and said, "You know, brother is going on a blind date."

"Well," Qiu Shili nodded, "he has reached his age."

"What do you think?"

Qiu Shili wiped off the soup from the corner of his mouth, "I didn't think much about it."

Shi Yizhou pursed his lips and chuckled, "Do you want to have a sister-in-law? Big brother won't come back tonight, maybe he will move out in the future."

"This is the eldest brother's business." Qiu Shili stood up and walked around him, "If the second brother is okay, I will teach the fourth brother how to write Chinese characters."

"Hey, wait," when rubbing shoulders, Shi Yizhou raised his hand to stop him, "Drinking some wine will make you feel better."

"I'm not good at drinking."

"Then drink tea. There is a kind of green tea that my brother likes very much, do you know?" Shi Yizhou squeezed his forearm tightly, "Speaking of which, it's your Japanese tea. If you want to drink, I will make it for you."

Qiu Shili finally sat back in his seat. He didn't know much about the tea ceremony, and his grandma passed away before he could teach it. He wanted to learn it a long time ago, and wanted to make tea for Shi Zhanyang, but he never had the time.At this moment, he could only stare at the back of Shi Yizhou busy on the wine table across the corridor without blinking.After a while, a small purple sand pot with a round belly was brought over, Shi Yizhou touched the bottom of the pot, and put it in front of Qiu Shili.

"Try it. The temperature is just right. I won't soak it your Japanese way, though."

"Second brother, let's have a drink too, it's very warm." Qiu Shili stood up again.

Shi Yizhou asked him to sit down again, "I can't fall asleep drinking tea at night, so you just drink it from the spout, doesn't big brother like that too?"

He was right, Shi Zhanyang did have the habit of drinking tea from a pot, and Qiu Shili had always wanted to try it.Now, his heart is full of depression, his mind is full of uneasiness, which makes him wonder, would it be better to drink some tea?In Shi Zhanyang's favorite way, taste his favorite tea.It seemed illogical, but Qiu Shili just wanted to grasp and believe.

He picked up the pot, held the spout between his teeth, and poured half of the pot on his back. His taste buds were so hot that he didn't feel much, but his body felt warm.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you won't be able to taste it like this." Shi Yizhou smiled.

"Sorry." Qiu Shili also smiled, sat up straight, and drank slowly one sip after another. "so bitter."

"Haha." Shi Yizhou looked at him intently.

The remaining half of the pot hadn't been eaten, and Qiu Shili gradually felt a lightness, to be precise, dizziness, and the warmth on his body didn't fade away, and even got hotter and hotter.His breathing became heavy and short, he put down the teapot, rubbed his face in vain, only to hear Shi Yizhou ask: "Are you uncomfortable?"

"Looks like a cold."

"Oh, it's not good. Big brother won't clean me up when he comes home." Shi Yizhou's voice seemed to be distorted, and Qiu Shili heard it fluctuating, "Go back to the house and rest, I'll teach you The fourth child writes Chinese characters."

Qiu Shili didn't insist anymore, he thought that he could only write dog crawling characters now, so he said good night, leaned on the banister of the stairs, slowly climbed up to the second floor, and returned to his bedroom.He didn't even turn on the light, and lay down right next to the bed without taking off his clothes. He was drowsy, but he couldn't sleep more and more. The burning feeling became more obvious, and the sound of his heartbeat was loud, hitting his chest Very heavy, he realized that he actually died.

But he can't think too much now, why and how.He couldn't help himself to relieve it, his thinking didn't listen at all, as soon as he touched himself, no matter where, he couldn't help but think of when Shi Zhanyang touched there, and then he wanted to cry very, very much, and wanted to be secreted. Hugging tightly, wanting to see some light, but there is no one around him, so dark, so dark.

I don't know what time it was, a bright light suddenly broke out at the door, and then it was closed again, and someone came in.It shouldn't be the housekeeper. The housekeeper never trespasses in his bedroom, and judging by his height, he is definitely not the fourth child.

Qiu Shili was guessing vaguely, when he suddenly felt the edge of the bed sink, and a sweet and pungent aroma wafted over, probably sweet orange mixed with rosemary, very close at hand, and then, his crotch was caught by a With his hands covered, someone was untying his belt.

"Ah!" There was a sweet woman's exclamation, because Qiu Shili pushed the person away and sat up by himself.He braced himself up, turned on the lamp, stared at the young white woman on his bed who was only wearing underwear, "Who are you?"

"I'm..." The woman's eyes were wide open, appearing quite innocent, "I'm here to help you."

"What service, how did you come in?" Qiu Shili had a splitting headache, got out of bed and stood against the wall, "Forget it, get dressed, and I'll ask someone to take you home."

The woman was in a hurry, and her pretty face wrinkled, "She is a call girl! Why don't you go home if you don't make any money! You must be so straightforward!"

Qiu Shili gasped for breath, stupefied for a while, and asked, "Who told you to come here." He said again: "A young man, Asian, likes to speak softly, right?"

"Probably..." The woman blinked, "He called a car to pick me up, it was such a big manor, I was terrified, and then he was waiting for me on the first floor, Asian, very young, his voice was just for me The one I called. He led me up, let me in but don't turn on the light, I thought it was some kind of old man, he really let me bump into such a handsome guy!"

After saying that, she was about to entangle her again, and took Qiu Shili to the bed, but Qiu Shili pulled her hand away without saying a word. He was so quiet that he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and walked out quickly with bare feet. Room.

He staggered downstairs, Shi Yizhou did not teach the fourth child how to write Chinese characters, but sat and smoked in the living room, looked up at him with interest, as if he was waiting for him.

"Enjoy it so soon? Are you not beautiful enough? Or is my medicine not effective enough?"

Qiu Shili didn't respond, but just approached, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up, then punched him in the face and knocked him to the ground.
