murder begins in summer

The deep winter in San Francisco was clear and dry, and the sea breeze was blowing. Less than half a day after Shi Zhanyang got off the plane, his nose started to bleed. It was the third day after New Year's Eve.

Qiu Shili was undergoing a preoperative examination at the time. It was a cumbersome process that took two or three days intermittently. He was lying on the hospital bed and was photographed by the machine. Naturally, he couldn't see the nosebleed dripping from the nose of the elder brother outside the examination room.

Shi Zhanyang raised his hand to touch it, then lowered his eyes to see it was so thick red.He turned his wrist, and the angle of the light changed accordingly.This feeling is quite novel, his hands are not unaccustomed to being stained, but his own blood is really rare.

He is here unhurriedly and full of interest. Of course, the five or six guys who follow him are already panicked. There are some who pass papers and wet towels, and some who run to the nurse's desk. Then he stood up suddenly, without saying a word, directly and skillfully pinched Shi Zhanyang's nose.His hands are really strong when playing racing cars. Shi Zhanyang's nose bridge is high and hard, and his forehead is numb from being pinched. By the time the buddy came with the little nurse, the bleeding had stopped.

Shi Yufeng sat back in his chair and continued to take a nap, hiding his achievements and fame.

Shi Zhanyang took the disinfectant wipes and wiped his hands, "The technique is good."

When Yu Feng refused to open his eyes, he pulled up the collar of his sports jacket to cover half of his face, and said sullenly, "I often get nosebleeds when fighting."

"You or someone else?"

"...all of them!"

Shi Zhanyang smiled and stopped teasing him.Although he didn't care much about the situation of the club that was always losing money, his fourth child was in foster care after all, so he couldn't ignore it.He had heard Qiu Shili say several times worryingly that Shi Yufeng was a thorn in the side, and he was always at odds with others, but he seldom lost.

Then you don't need to meddle in your own business, the little things you taught me when you were young are not in vain.Shi Zhanyang slowly breathed the slightly fishy air in his nose, thinking this way, it was just a pity that he didn't have time to teach him more winning skills.

The head nurse with short gray blonde hair came out of the room and said that there was about half an hour left for today's examination. Shi Zhanyang glanced at his watch, the time was just right, and they could have dinner together.

However, the dinner was not finished, and the waiting time was almost at the end when a phone call came in suddenly.It was Qiu Shili's mobile phone, temporarily in Shi Zhanyang's hands, and the caller ID showed a hashtag.encrypted number.

"Hello?" Shi Zhanyang turned his wheelchair to the side to answer the phone. A few minutes later, he put down his phone and took a look at this side. Bazai immediately ran over with two guys understanding, and the rest stayed asleep. Next to Yu Feng, Shi Yufeng continued to wait.

Qiu Shili's mobile phone was also returned.

After a few more minutes, Qiu Shili finally finished the examination, and walked out of the ward with a cup of warm water. He knew that his elder brother was afraid of dryness but he didn't like drinking water, so he didn't see his elder brother.When Yu Feng woke up with his arms folded, his face was dazed, while the clerk who stayed behind said that he had something to do at work, the boss would go back to the company and ask him to have a good rest.

Qiu Shili pinched the phone, the back was still slightly warm, he opened the call log, there was nothing new.

He thought about it for a while, but in the end he didn't take off his hospital gown, and honestly took Shi Yufeng down to the multi-purpose restaurant on the ground floor, watching Yaodi finish eating a whole large pizza full of tomato sauce, while he himself I drank a bowl of Chaoshan beef porridge with strong American flavor.

After all, the operation is scheduled for next week, and there are only three days left, and the doctor's order requires him to eat lightly.

"Is your illness serious?" Shi Yufeng was still in a state of ignorance.

"It's nothing serious." Qiu Shili's appetite was poor, and he pushed the soft Cantonese-style shrimp dumplings in the set meal to him. "I should still live for 50 years."

Shi Yufeng felt that being over 70 years old was a long time, anyway, he only wanted to live to be 60 years old, "But when I was old, I seemed to be very worried about you."

"worry about me?"

"He didn't speak for a while, and then he got a nosebleed."

"Nosebleed!"

Shi Yufeng shrugged his shoulders, dipped the shrimp dumpling in tomato sauce, "Maybe he will also bleed when you have surgery."

Qiu Shili called Shi Zhanyang and sent a message. He didn't expect a response in a short time, and he didn't.He guessed that something must have happened, most likely it was at work, whether it was big or small, he was not sure.Or is Eguchi Risako and his ilk looking for trouble again?Qiu Shili wanted to beat someone violently again.

But anyway, he is not the kind of kid who will lose his soul and disrupt the situation if he can't find his brother. Shi Zhanyang clearly told him to wait and not move, so he can still bear it for a while.

That night, Qiu Shili stayed in the ward on the top floor of the hospital, and Shi Yufeng was sent by him to attend a party. He was the only patient on the entire floor with a group of friends of the same age with similar family backgrounds.After the three doctors and nurses came, Qiu Shili sat alone on the bed watching TV, with a dagger resting on his waist, and slowly drank a glass of coconut water dully.

It was a local TV station in California, and it was the evening news time. Qiu Shili actually saw the logo of his own group, and he was with another company.That company is also a large arms company, and its headquarters are also in the West of the United States. However, Shi's company mainly makes missile radars, and the other party mainly sells aircraft. There is no conflict, and there are many cooperations. The relationship has always been very close.

Pinned between the two logos is a photo of a middle-aged man.With gray hair and brown skin, he is raising his hands impassionedly.Qiu Shili recognized him. He was the former president of a war-torn country in the northwest of Africa and a regular customer of his business. In October of this year, when the opposing party came to power, this war fanatic naturally became an anti-government armed force. He was brought to court for many crimes such as "crimes against peace".

As a result, many old scandals have been uprooted together, justifiably, such as the one that the TV station is "deeply analyzing" now. Qiu Shili stared at the title of the line and the group of nouns that highlighted it, "Blood Diamond".

blood diamond.What is a blood diamond?It is the rough diamonds that are abundant in the war zone. Large, priceless, local workers, even child laborers, are transported out of the mines day and night, dedicated to the local rulers who say nothing, and then sold to Market, in exchange for large sums of US dollar bills.

Because this income is often invested in armed conflicts against the government or against the spirit of the Security Council, blood diamonds are evil, stained with innocent blood, and will explode more at the same time, hence the name.

But now that the word is being associated with his own industry, the host was elated and preaching for a long time, but Qiu Shili couldn't listen to a word.He switched to the federal TV station. Similar reports were still in vain. Then he turned on the cell phone that had not been moving, and opened the browser. Sure enough, the news on the Internet was called a turbulent explosion.It turned out that when we cooperated in the past, that is, more than ten years ago, we provided the equipment to the former president, received money, and also received blood diamonds. Bags of diamonds appeared in the hands of many women of the adoptive father. A young Korean actor with no brains even took photos and posted them on social networks. With the pixel level of a few years ago, he could still see the diamond on the table clearly.

Even loose diamonds have an enviable purity, shiny, dense, and spread out, a beautiful transparent pool of blood.

The same beautiful young girl was wearing a mini dress with suspenders, leaning lightly on it, with an innocent and happy expression on her face.

At that time, this incident did not make any splashes, but now, the truth has been revealed, and the little actor without a name and surname suddenly became a popular star, and many "participants" also jumped out to testify. There was an uproar, scolding The sound is also one piece.

Even the old photos of Mrs. Qiu have been released to the public, old tones, her face is not old, she is smiling faintly, wearing an elegant plain high-waisted dress with sparkles on her neck, and her earrings, her The wedding ring... and the snow-capped mountain that her fiancé bought for her many years ago on the boat of the Million Dollar Society.

These have become the focus of righteous indignation that people talk about.

Qiu Shili clenched his molars.What is this?What on earth is this.The adoptive mother's diamond and the adoptive mother's snow mountain were all owned by her before the blood diamond incident.

But now, the money earned by the Shi family and everything they own are just like that unlucky colleague. They are all evil, dirty, unreasonable and absolutely unforgivable, so there is no need to see the truth clearly.

This is reminiscent of the previous situation of the Shi family, where the government investigated and everyone scolded, and there was chaos everywhere. Shi Zhanyang was still asleep, and Qiu Shili reluctantly supported him.But this came back even more fiercely. The public opinion was indeed the craziest and wildest fire. Qiu Shili even posted his own photo. Maybe the Eguchi group took advantage of the confusion to release the news. In short, as a frequent representative of the Shi family For example, the second-in-command who donated money to bid for trivial matters in court, and the news that he is one of the heirs of the Japanese underworld gang also spread like wildfire.

This is indeed a fact, and Qiu Shili also admits it, it is best to uncover the fact that his own mother was flayed to death!It would be good to turn the mess of the past few decades upside down, that's the one who catches and blacks out!He threw the phone on the bed and thought about it in a broken pot. He bit off the cigarette in his mouth, but he quickly recovered his mind, picked up the phone again, and continued to talk among the piles of real cigarettes. Filter out the fake news that is useful to you, and think carefully about how to solve these bad things.

Until he saw Shi Zhanyang's photo.

Seeing the old story of the cave bombing two years ago revisited.Saw the taunt.See abuse.

Suddenly, only the three words "why" remained in his mind.Why is it that other people are arrogant and arrogant, but the elder brother is relegated to the dust?Why is the legal sale back then turned into smuggling? Even if the money was exchanged for blood diamonds, the adoptive father did evil, and Shi Yizhou may have sold some later, but it was not when the government issued the export approval. Saying no, when looking for them to collect technology and taxes, it is even more enjoyable!

Now that the tyranny of the country has fallen, the government that the Shi family voted for is the fastest to turn around. The national TV station is reporting all kinds of news in detail, and the president elected by the citizens is on Wei Guangzheng's side.

Qiu Shili's anger reached his eyebrows, he jumped out of bed, pulled out the tube in his hand, it was probably the medicine to stabilize the heart function before the operation, or the liver and kidney, Qiu Shili didn't bother to care about it.The call was probably originally made to him, maybe from the company, or maybe from the Ministry of National Defense, which was also panicked by the incident, but the record was deleted, and he should have dealt with these broken matters.He knew that his eldest brother must be in a state of distress right now and needed his help, so he hurriedly put on his coat and pushed out the door, but he was suddenly surprised by a bunch of guys crowded outside the house.

I don't know when they got together, but if you look around, you can see that there are more than [-] people in the whole corridor, which are clearly illuminated by the bright white lights.

"Sister-in-law," Shao San's waist was able to stand upright, he stood at the place closest to the door, and walked forward with a serious look on his face, "Boss is in a meeting, and I specifically said that you must not leave."

"I can't go?" Qiu Shili laughed, what did the elder brother think of him!A porcelain doll that cannot be touched?The operation is not an urgent matter, so what if it is postponed for two days?

"It's okay, I just went to the company to see him." Qiu Shili squeezed past Shao San.

Shao San refused to let him go, and then five or six more came up to stop him. They were all apologizing, and they all looked very sad, but they didn't let go.With a pair of more than 30, Qiu Shili has little chance of winning, but he feels that none of these brothers will really attack him, so he is ready to gamble.As long as you get out of this hospital... Whenever you see Shi Zhanyang, Qiu Shili must hug him tightly first, but it's not just a hug, he believes that he is useful and can help practically.

So he wanted to fight hard. However, he had just come a few steps when he encountered a hard fight. The group of guys swarmed up and wanted to join hands to push him to the ground and tie him up with their own steel ropes.Qiu Shili was stunned and anxious, but he still remembered that he was the boss. He was usually called sister-in-law and third brother.

Of course, he may be able to knock down one first, and then faint a few more, but he really doesn't want to toss with [-] people, pass five levels and win six generals, and make a good hospital like a boxing gym. What about donating money to rebuild it? What happened if it was damaged? In the final analysis, isn’t it still ruining your own home?So he made a clever move, stepped back, returned to the ward, slammed the door, locked it, and quickly pushed the writing desk and bedside cabinet before his subordinates poured in.

Amid the ear-piercing yells and knocking on the door, Qiu Shili opened the window and looked down. At the height of the eighth floor, the wind was very cold, but it should be no problem. Also dense enough.Qiu Shili was riding on the window sill, leaning forward to test the firmness of the pipe, feeling satisfied, and was about to grab one to swing his weight over, and then slide down one floor, when there was a "boom", the door was knocked open, The table and cabinet toppled over and hit the wall.

Shao San limped in, holding up his mobile phone and yelling, "...Sister-in-law is going to jump off the building!"

As soon as Qiu Shili heard it, he knew who it was, and he was ready to beat Shao San unconscious and throw it aside. Seeing that the mobile phone was handed over, Qiu Shili had to immediately turn over and go back to the floor of the house.

"Nana, come down." Shi Zhanyang's voice was very cold.

"I've already come down," Qiu Shili said anxiously, "I'm not going to jump off the building."

"Didn't you ride on the window just now?" Shi Zhanyang seemed to be able to see him from the air.

"...I want to go out, it's not too difficult to climb down, I won't seek death," Qiu Shili paused, and asked: "Brother, why don't you let me find you?"

"Rest in peace, hang up first."

"no!"

"If you hang it up, I'll really jump down." Qiu Shili said again.

Shi Zhanyang didn't smile, he said calmly: "I said, don't threaten me with such nonsense."

Qiu Shili was stunned for a moment, "...I just want to help you. Brother."

"You can't help. I'm in a meeting. I'll talk about it tomorrow."

When Zhanyang was on business, he was about to hang up the phone again, Qiu Shili was a little confused, of course he could help, why couldn't he?Big brother is just too anxious, after all, the operation in front of him is also the result of more than ten years of fighting for it, and no one wants to fall short.But it's just a pause, and it's not like he will die the next day if he doesn't take out the chip now, so it won't be a waste of success, right?

"Brother, listen to me," Qiu Shili spoke at the fastest speed, "If we did nothing wrong, we did nothing wrong. That is not something that can be changed by a few bags of diamonds. I am also very good at fighting public opinion wars. The next time I won the lawsuit about the drug transport by boat, I declared that I did everything well, and I have experience..."

But Shi Zhanyang interrupted him, impatiently and sternly, "I don't have time to take care of you now, don't make trouble for me!" After a long silence, Shi Zhanyang said again: "Sorry, what should I do? I count them all, but you make me very tired, ナナ."

Qiu Shili suddenly became speechless, he heard tiredness from his eldest brother.That's the word that Shi Zhanyang disdains to say the most, no matter how many things go wrong, Shi Zhanyang will not show weakness and complain, but now he is tired because of him.The guys all listened and watched, and surrounded the three floors inside and outside three floors in a prepared manner, for fear that he would suddenly think about committing suicide, for fear that he would run away and go to the elder brother to get in the way.

Is it because his tone is wrong?Talking about what happened last time is like wiping someone's ass, why is it so embarrassing and unlucky.Then he is wrong, he will admit it!

"I'm sorry. Brother, I'm sorry." This apology was not good, flustered.

"Sleep well." Shi Zhanyang said briefly, biting each word lightly, as if he was desperately suppressing something, and holding something hard, and then there was a busy tone.

Qiu Shili took a deep breath, and handed the phone back to Shao San. He even forgot to breathe just now, rubbed his face, and turned his back again. "I'm not going, just sleep here." He said softly, in order not to look like he was going to jump off the building, he also closed the window, pressed the safety lock, and leaned against the glass to look at the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance , watching the beautiful night and the beautiful road, just like the TV movies I saw in the countryside of Aomori when I was a child.

At that time, my grandmother called this country "Mi Country", and holding Qiu Shili's hand, she said that her eldest daughter was there.

At this moment, the guys stood behind Qiu Shili and accompanied him quietly for a while, seeing that he had really calmed down, they silently left the room, closed the door and guarded outside, leaving him alone.

Qiu Shili really stayed in peace for two days, and he didn't even ask for this ward, and obediently took needles and medicine for examination.During the period, Yu Feng came over to see him once, chatted dryly with him for more than ten minutes, brought him a lot of snacks that he thought were delicious, and books that he thought were fun, Qiu Shili took them all, and talked with Yao Brother said thank you.

For the rest of the time, he kept an eye on the news all the time. In just a few dozen hours, the statement was made and the facts were restored. The media that the Shi family spent a lot of money on was indeed not for nothing, and those who took the lead in spreading rumors were also charged. After entering the court, the one-sided situation of public opinion has been leveraged, and the efficiency of the Shi family is much higher than that of their peers.

According to Shao San, the Secretary-General of the Minister of Defense even rushed over and had an open-air dinner with the boss on the private beach near Baker Beach.

Qiu Shili heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, the eldest brother knows everything. He is so clever, so calm, and he doesn't make mistakes. He can tidy up a mess of threads in an orderly manner.Qiu Shili felt that he should be very happy. He was indeed very happy. He chatted happily with the three hard-working surgeons. The polite, careful and gentle head nurse thanked him good night. He lay on the bed early and prepared for the next afternoon's operation sleep well.

But he couldn't sleep.Sinking into the darkness, all that can be grasped by the hand is black or black, Qiu Shili feels that he is falling.He didn't know where he was going to fall, this was a feeling he had learned to get used to, and the learning effect was really beyond praise.The ears that have been made overly sensitive by himself receive all the movement outside the door like an unstoppable gate, making him wonder if these ears are too lonely.

I don't know what time it was, but Qiu Shili was still awake, and he heard a series of footsteps far away.One step is light, one step is heavy, staggering, but walking in a hurry, the footsteps are approaching.

What's this?He held his breath.This is simply the bell in Pavlov's hand, the curse of the soul.Qiu Shili felt as if he was suddenly stunned. Something was pressing him tightly. He pushed it away desperately, sat up hard, and when his toes touched the cold floor, the door opened.

Someone stood there with the backlight, a straight but stiff shadow, as if he didn't dare to go forward, Qiu Shili ran over barefoot, and met the shadow face to face.

"I know my brother will come to me," he said.

"Before my operation." He choked, "I know you didn't want me."

The corridor was too white and too bright, and Shi Zhanyang's face was still blurred, but Shi Zhanyang leaned on crutches, took a wrong step forward, and closed the door behind his back.The room returned to the thick darkness, Qiu Shili was a little dazed, and groped to hug him, but was pushed against the wall.Shi Zhanyang still had a cane under his armpit, supporting his bones, but put his free hand behind Qiu Shili's head to prevent him from being hurt, but still pressed his body close to him, even the The weak and sick legs were all touching his knees, every inch, every inch, was tightly pressed, trembling swallowed by the skin.

This hug was exactly the same as before. They hugged in the cold woods, in the hot desert, in the smoky armistice zone, at a reception where singing and dancing.This is their hug.

Qiu Shili heard his elder brother's disordered breathing, smelled the frighteningly thick smell of smoke on his body, and the cold outside at the end of January.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Shi Zhanyang lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Qiu Shili's forehead, like a messenger who was tired from running during the war taking a nap carefully in the city of Athens. He bent down to find Qiu Shili's lips again, Heavy breathing hit the person, "Brother is wrong. Brother's fault." He said this, but was immediately caught in continuous kisses.

It was Qiu Shili who pointed his mouth on tiptoe, wrapped his arms around his neck, and pressed in kisses one after another, a thirsty lamb, a piece of jade tofu on the blade, he was like I want to crush myself and give it to him. "Brother is not wrong, you can't tell me wrong." His voice was hoarse, he softly rubbed Shi Zhanyang's cold cheek, and couldn't wait to continue kissing her.
