murder begins in summer

After putting on his pants, Qiu Shili turned on the computer to deal with the backlog of work emails in the past two days. He asked himself to sit in the back row because he couldn't concentrate next to his elder brother. He said with a serious face that he didn't want to smirk.Shi Zhanyang took out the notebook, read the note twice, and then burned it clean.

After that, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, listening to the movement behind him.Qiu Shili was very quiet most of the time, and sometimes he clacked and tapped on the keyboard, and the sound was overwhelmed by the loud noise of the propeller outside the cabin, but Shi Zhanyang didn't find it noisy. He finally felt sleepy and almost didn't sleep last night. Because of working together to support his excitement, he had to take good care of his little brother who was bleeding by himself, and he also had to think about the lines to bluff the next day. Once he relaxed a corner, all the fatigue would be overwhelmed. He didn't know what he was doing. He fell asleep, but when he woke up, the helicopter had already landed at the port of Montreal, and Qiu Shili was holding his legs and waist, trying to move him into the wheelchair.

His body was suspended in the air, and Shi Zhanyang found that he was almost hugged horizontally, and he was still very stable.In the past, when he was naive and frivolous, he liked to hug Qiu Shili like this the most, especially when Qiu Shili wrapped his neck around his neck contentedly, and shrank into his arms tenderly, he felt very cool, and even raised a Also cool and cuddly critters.I've never been hugged like this before, this time, I feel really good, it's safe, and it seems to be some kind of treasure.

Qiu Shili was a little stiff, looking at him hesitant to speak, his face turned red, and the wheelchair was next to him, but he didn't put him down.

"What's wrong?" Shi Zhanyang also hesitated to speak.Christmas just passed his birthday, and he was already 34 years old. Thinking of those trivial things in the past, and thinking of the current situation, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Shili said, "Brother, there are two small moles on the left eyelid." His eyes were still so straight, even though he was ashamed, he still followed Shi Zhanyang's eyes, his pupils were two transparent mirrors. , "Open your eyes and look at me, and they hide."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly came back to his senses, quickly put his elder brother on the wheelchair, and pushed him down the temporary ramp, "Why didn't I notice it before?"

Shi Zhanyang only felt that his heart was beating a little fast, he thought, I didn't notice it either.

He is not so narcissistic, he looks in the mirror every day, and he also knows that Qiu Shili looks at his plain face much more carefully than himself, and he looks carefully for him.How many times he opened his eyes and met two staring gazes, and when they met, Qiu Shili would immediately retract the hand that touched him gently, turn his face away to cover up, and lie with his back to him, from the base of the ear Red to the root of the neck.

Qiu Shili was always reluctant to wake him up.

There hasn't been a morning like this in the past two years.

After more than ten hours of flight time, their private jet circled twice over the destination. Qiu Shili was quite irritable, and after urging and urging on the phone, the landing permission was approved.When we finally landed at Xiaoshan Airport, the light snow had just stopped, and the evening sun was hanging vaguely in the gray sky, a mass of bright red, with no temperature.

Although you don't have to go through customs according to the rules, you can't go too far in this kind of gun-free country.Before Qiu Shili left, he rummaged through the pile of weapons in the safe in the cabin several times. Bazai thought that there were not enough weapons in the luggage, so he brought a few boxes to load the guns, but he saw that Qiu Shili just picked up a dozen yellow guns. Picking out a shotgun bullet, No. 4 caliber, he gesticulated on his knuckles, wiped it with his cuff, weighed it twice, and then locked the spare guns back into the cabinet, leaving only this bullet, and put it away. In the inner pocket of the coat.

"Help me buy some metalworking tools, especially files, tungsten steel." He smiled at Bazai.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't worry." Ba Zai was shy and stuttered again.He was happy for Qiu Shili, he knew he had thought of something good.

Most of the guys have gone back, including Shao San who flashed his waist, Shi Zhanyang gave him a vacation treatment, only Bazai led two young green heads and followed the boss to this blue-gray Hangzhou city, and as a subordinate, All they were asked to do was to arrange the trivial things in advance, such as buying tools, and booking a hotel with well-made high-quality imitation documents.

It is said to be a hotel, but it is actually a mansion in the period of the Republic of China. So-and-so’s former residence is on the shore of West Lake. There are shopping malls and subways nearby. However, the old house is surrounded by bamboo forests, which cut off even the sound of the street and people, and it is quite noisy. Take the meaning of quiet.

Shi Zhanyang was not interested in resting in this secluded place. He was a person who liked to do his best, so he handed over all his luggage to the assistant. He took Qiu Shili from the airport to the address indicated on the note.

It was an old-fashioned family area, located next to the canal, built in the 80s, and used by the local medical university to accommodate faculty and staff, which seemed out of place among the tall buildings.The doorway was exaggeratedly narrow, and Qiu Shili drove in every possible way carefully, shuttling between old buildings and old trees in the courtyard, avoiding old people walking their dogs and children playing in the snow, passing by a crumbling scrap yard from time to time, Land Rover was stunned. Driving at a speed of five kilometers per hour.

Shi Zhanyang leaned on the co-pilot and squinted his eyes to blow the warm air. He felt that this place was good. He habitually considered that if a gunfight broke out, it would be easy to find cover. He also liked this kind of crowding that he had only seen in movies. Suffering from life, it seems that everyone can find a small place to put themselves, and know where to go back.

The building No. 65 I was looking for finally appeared in sight.When they got out of the car, Shi Zhanyang was leaning on crutches. Qiu Shili didn't go to help him, but just stood next to him, slightly staggered behind him, with his right hand in his pocket.They were going to meet an old man who lived on the sixth floor. Shi Zhanyang dragged a leg that seemed to be burdened, but walked not slowly. One layer fades away, and the next layer floats over again.

When they reached the fourth floor, there was a sudden sound of the door closing upstairs, followed by footsteps approaching them.three people.

If Qiu Shili had fangs, he would have bared them at this moment. He was about to walk in front of his elder brother, but Shi Zhanyang stopped him, and said softly, "Okay, ナナ." Then he grabbed Qiu Shili with his backhand Qiu Shili let go of his wrist, and the dagger slid back to the bottom of his pocket.

It was a hunchbacked old lady with a pair of twins, both little girls, who looked like they had just entered primary school, wearing soft puffy padded clothes and braiding thin shofars, passing by the dark and narrow stairs, and they threw The sparkling curious eyes, those eyes are also like soap bubbles, which can be poked and burst.

Well, it's me who is like a weapon.Qiu Shili smiled at the three grandparents apologetically, and then was led by Shi Zhanyang to move around.

"We didn't come to fight." Shi Zhanyang said.

Qiu Shili nodded, and said in a low voice: "Little girl, so she looks like this, she is really small."

Shi Zhanyang was taken aback for a moment. Indeed, there is no younger sister in their family, and his children have never been to nurseries, primary schools or other places.Not to mention Qiu Shili, even his own experience with women, his impression of the stage of "little girl" seems to be limited to the distant cousin who occasionally met in his youth, that is, the little girl at this time. Eguchi Risako is easy to mention.

Ke Li Saeko almost never smiled when she was young, she was always wrapped in a rigid deep crab shell blue kimono, her eyes were also deeply blue and black, it might as well... Shi Zhanyang thought of it.

"Nana was like this when I was a child." He leaned on the handle of his cane and said so.

Qiu Shili clutched his knuckles, his palms were wet, as if he wanted to justify something, but before he could organize his words, the stairs came to the end, and door 602 was on the left, with red Spring Festival couplets and upside-down blessings posted.

Shi Zhanyang stood by the door, and Qiu Shili immediately got into the mood, raised his hand and knocked on the door, three times and then three more times, "Here we come!" The person inside shouted, opening a crack, and the aroma of cooking Steaming out, it is a middle-aged woman about five or sixty years old.

Obviously, she was waiting for someone else, and was a little dazed for a while. Qiu Shili handed over the sea cucumber and bird's nest bought at the airport, showing a gentle and decent smile, "Hello, we are friends of Dr. Qin."

"I found the wrong person. This family's name is Chen." The woman refused to answer, looked at the two suspiciously, and wiped her hands on the apron.

"Professor Chen is also a friend of Dr. Qin." Shi Zhanyang closed the door, and Qiu Shili directly put the gift into the woman's hand. At this moment, a voice came from the living room on the side of the entrance, "Chunzhi!" , let them in."

The woman finally grasped the silk rope of the gift box.

A gray-haired little old man came out in a hurry, with a maroon fur vest and tortoiseshell glasses. He spoke tepidly, and he really looked like an intellectual.

"Hello, Professor Chen." Shi Zhanyang shook hands with him.

Qiu Shili also held it. Fortunately, he didn't hide any weapon in his sleeve, he thought.

"Please sit down and stay for dinner." Professor Chen said politely, took two steps back, and invited them to the sofa in the living room, but Shi Zhanyang said: "No trouble, if you guessed correctly, your family will wait a while Come to dinner."

The busy kitchen, half the dishes on the table, and the wife who just opened the door excitedly, these are all too obvious, it's strange if you can't guess.Professor Chen also reacted, and his heart relaxed a little. "My daughter is going to bring her boyfriend back." He smiled, and sent his wife back to the kitchen to cook. "Sit down and have a cup of tea first."

Qiu Shili knew that Shi Zhanyang didn't want to sit, so he might as well go back to the car quickly, so he helped him and said: "Thank you, we don't want to disturb you for too long, this time I came here to get back the things that Doctor Qin left here .”

Professor Chen's complexion turned gray. He seemed to have a lot of questions to ask, but he wanted to swallow them all. He looked up at the two men in black coats in front of him again, "Are you... Japanese?"

"No." Shi Zhanyang said, he answered neither too fast nor too slow, with a firm tone and an ordinary attitude.

"We usually live in San Francisco," Qiu Shili added, "of Chinese descent."

"Oh, oh," Professor Chen breathed a sigh of relief, recalling the past more than ten years ago, "Old Qin said that anyone who can find here has a way, if someone really comes to pick it up, I must ask , Don’t give it to the Japanese! If it’s a Japanese, he wants me to call the police.”

"Haha, we are against the group of Japanese he mentioned." Shi Zhanyang looked at the wireless phone in Professor Chen's hand, like a meteorite overlooking the goat's milk-like atmosphere of the earth.Professor Chen probably doesn't know what kind of hot potato his old friend is hiding here. Similarly, if he asks, he calls the police. Most people in this world still believe in the sense of security brought by these things.Presumably even Dr. Qin believed it before!

Professor Chen smiled awkwardly, as if he felt that his skeptical and defensive posture hurt the original harmony, he put it down, "wait a moment, two." He pointed to his study.

"It's troublesome." Shi Zhanyang nodded.

The two had been standing on the blanket at the door, and they had always maintained a humble and peaceful attitude. The woman looked at them with her head, and within 2 minutes came over with a plate of sliced ​​sweet oranges. Shi Zhanyang took a piece Qiu Shili also took it, and the woman was willing to leave after that.Shi Zhanyang didn't eat it, neither did Qiu Shili. Professor Chen came out of the study, and the two pieces of oranges came into Qiu Shili's hands, and Shi Zhanyang took the kraft paper portfolio.

There was a thick layer of glue sticking to the seal, and over time, the glue became brittle. Shi Zhanyang dusted it off and tore it open.There are a lot of papers inside, some wired and some not.He pulled out a small half of the length, flipped through it quickly, and the side with the words was only facing himself, then he gathered the pages together and put them back in the file bag.

"Thank you. It was a great help." Shi Zhanyang shook hands with Professor Chen again.

"Old Qin...how is he now?" Professor Chen asked tentatively.

"Very good, I have both sons and daughters, my grandson has gone to school and is living a very prosperous life," Shi Zhanyang said with a smile, "It's just that he is not in good health, so I can't come to see you in person."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay!" Professor Chen shook his hand back excitedly, "We can always have a drink together! Please tell me the news. You can call me too."

After finishing speaking, he tore off a small piece of newspaper, unscrewed the pen and wrote the number, his wrist trembling slightly.Shi Zhanyang waited patiently, and when he finished writing, he put the note into his wallet.

"Thank you!" Professor Chen said.

"It's because we bothered you a lot." Shi Zhanyang thanked again.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Qiu Shili bowed slightly holding two oranges, and then followed Shi Zhanyang out of the room. Professor Chen watched them off at the door. When they went down to the second floor, they met a pair of young people. men and women.

There is probably a table of warm meals waiting for these two.

The snow started to fall outside again, and the snowflakes fluttered under the warm-colored street lamps. There were a lot fewer people, and they probably all went home for dinner. There was a cold sweetness in the air.

This note is useless.Professor Chen is also doomed not to wait for Dr. Qin's glass of wine.Zhan Yang knew about this at the time, and so did Qiu Shili.But none of them said much, Qiu Shili just peeled off the orange peel, and fed the juicy piece of fruit to the eldest brother's mouth, "Is it sweet?"

"I'm so hungry." Shi Zhanyang said.

Qiu Shili quickly picked another piece for him, Shi Zhanyang smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "How can you be full like this, what do you want to eat?"

"Let's think about it," Qiu Shili pondered seriously, swallowing the chilly orange meat in his hands, his hands were covered with juice, he squatted down, found a piece of clean snow and inserted it to wash, it really didn't stick to his fingers "Brother, come on, I want to eat something warm, and I want to eat meat." He also figured out the answer, and jumped up to open the door for his elder brother.

Shi Zhanyang laughed loudly, sat in and put away the file bag in the safe, Qiu Shili also got in and started the car, and moved on this crowded alley again, the surrounding buildings were like huge gray fog, his frozen red One of his hands was blowing the warm air beside the steering wheel, and the other was resting on the joystick, held by Shi Zhanyang, gradually recovering the temperature.

It was past 08:30 when dinner was served that night, and there were only the two of them in a hot pot restaurant called "Haidilao".Qiu Shili vaguely remembered that several college classmates liked to have dinner here every now and then, saying that the service was good and the taste was good. Later, he also saw a few in San Francisco's Chinatown, but he had never been there himself.

This time I personally tried it, and Qiu Shili saw that Haidilao's service is really good, so good that it is a bit unexpected, let's not mention anything else, let's just talk about this - at the dinner table, he was next to Shi Zhanyang It was very tight, after cooking a wave of meat, vegetables, and mushrooms, I rushed to put them all on Shi Zhanyang's plate, maybe these actions revealed something.All in all, when they checked out and were about to leave, the waiter suddenly gave Shi Zhanyang a box that was two palms wide. Qiu Shili was pushing the wheelchair, and looking from behind, the box was heart-shaped, translucent pink glass, and it was full of colorful flowers inside. Candy, stuffed to the brim.

How is it like a gift for a child.

No, Xiang Xitang.Qiu Shili's heart moved.

The little girl smiled and said, "Happy New Year, both of you!"

Shi Zhanyang also smiled, "Thank you."

Qiu Shili didn't say a word, and suddenly leaned over and kissed his elder brother's ear, then looked up at the waiter, "You guessed it, Happy New Year."

The little girl opened her mouth, blinked her eyes with excitement, and said that she would get coupons for them, and ran back to the front desk. When she came back, the two from just now had disappeared, and there was only a row of seats waiting. Some of the diners still had surprised expressions on their faces.

On the way back to the mansion, Shi Zhanyang contacted three experts who were about to participate in the operation, a total of three, one was the most authoritative in the United States, one came from a research laboratory invested by himself, and an old friend of Shi Zhanyang who was extremely experienced— - That Jung's father has a serious heart problem, and he has always been in charge of the treatment.

The three doctors had already met in San Francisco, and they were waiting for the notes in the portfolio to be sent, and the consultation began immediately.For the special chip that cannot be detected by any machine, the paper record is of course the most important thing, and whether Qiu Shili himself is present is secondary.Shi Zhanyang knew that those old experts would have to discuss for a long time, which is exactly what he wanted now.

How many times did it go well?Especially on such a snowy winter night, they are in the south of China, Jiangnan, where many articles and poems are unforgettable.Snow is also beautiful snow. Shi Zhanyang likes to use snow as a metaphor for his cherished things.

"ナナ," Shi Zhanyang said when Qiu Shili parked the car, the bright lights of the mansion and the rustling of the bamboo forest in the fine snow became warm and clear before his eyes, "Let's celebrate the Spring Festival together, right here, you Like it?"
