Red Dust Tune: Cherry Falling King's Heart

It was late at night, and Zhong Wanjun was sitting at his desk with three transcripts spread out in front of him.During the day, he couldn't remember how he felt when he saw Lei Ting and the names of Qiu Qiu and Zhi Ge. He only knew that he seemed to be nonchalant. After reading the transcript, he explained the next work.Then what?Then he turned off his phone and sat alone in his office until now.

Zhong Wanjun's fingers lightly stroked the signature on the lower right corner of one of the transcripts: Ting Lei.A few simple letters, but the person who wrote them has a different flavor, and the handwriting is sharp and unrestrained, as if it is about to tear out of the paper.Zhong Wanjun imagined Lei Ting's appearance when he signed the name. Was he as confident and proud as ever?No, no, she just witnessed the scene of the horrific murder. No matter how strong she is, she is still just a girl. Will she turn pale with fright?Or will he hold back his tears and use the King mask to disguise himself, just to support the people around him?Yes, that's right, when Qiu Qiu was by her side, this cat-like girl must have been terrified, Lei Ting... Lei Ting would have pretended nothing happened, comforted Qiu Qiu, and then hid her weak side Get up, hide it tightly, don't let anyone find out, even...don't let her find out.

Zhong Wanjun's heart suddenly ached.

He buried his face in his hands.It has been two years, almost two years since he left Lei Ting.In the past two years, he and Qing Ying met day and night, became boyfriend and girlfriend, and even had the most intimate relationship.He thought that he had slowly let go of the past, he thought that he would never think of Lei Ting again, but unexpectedly, facing Lei Ting who suddenly appeared, he still couldn't remain indifferent.

……

"When I met you for the first time, you didn't say a word. I thought you couldn't talk like me. I borrowed your paintbrush, and you thanked me. I was shocked by you. It turned out that you can speak."

"I only talk to people I want to be friends with."

……

"Zhong Wanjun, where have you been these few days? I can't find you anywhere!!"

"Sorry, I'm in a bad mood, and I went to Canada for a tour."

"Then why don't you answer my phone?! You should call me and let me know you're safe!!"

"When you called me, the plane was about to take off. I couldn't answer your call, and then turned off the phone. When I turned it on again in Canada, I found that it couldn't be turned on, and the phone was out of battery. And I was in a hurry. A few changes of clothes, no charger."

"Can't you think of another way to contact me?!!"

"Sorry, I just wanted to relax, so I forgot."

"Forget it, you'll be fine."

……

"Zhong Wanjun, you are despicable and shameless!!! You bastard!!!"

"It's just that I haven't seen you for two years, how can you change so much?!"

"Where did that Zhong Wanjun who was by my side go? Zhong Wanjun is not like this, he shouldn't be like this!"

"You are not Zhong Wanjun! You give me back my Wanjun, give me back!!"

……

Scenes of the past, bits and pieces emerge in front of my eyes.Zhong Wanjun folded his arms and cried helplessly.Lei Ting, Lei Ting... This name seemed to be engraved on his heart. Two years after two years, he really, really missed her.

Picking up the car keys on the table, Zhong Wanjun quickly walked out of the police station, he was going to see Lei Ting, and he was going to see her now!

§

After driving to the hotel where Lei Ting and the others stayed, Zhong Wanjun's car was parked downstairs.Lei Ting's address is in his hand, now he only needs to get out of the car, go upstairs, and knock on the room where Lei Ting lives, and then he can see her and tell her that Wan Jun is not dead, her shadow has always been there. exist.But when things came to an end, Zhong Wanjun suddenly became cowardly.

Zhong Wanjun looked up at the brightly lit hotel from the car window.Among the windows that were lit, there might be Lei Ting standing behind one of the windows.What is she doing now?Should he be sitting by the bed, chatting with Qiu Qiu, or lazily leaning on the concubine's couch and looking at the documents?

Zhong Wanjun leaned back on the chair weakly, stretched out his hand to touch it, his face was still wet.He smiled wryly, could he really go to see Lei Ting like this?Didn't he decide at the beginning that only by leaving Lei Ting can her safety be guaranteed?The matter of the human weapon has been less than two years ago, now go to see Lei Ting, Zhong Wanjun, you will kill her!

Turning the steering wheel, Zhong Wanjun took one last look at the hotel, then endured the dull pain in his heart, and drove away.

§

In a daze, Zhong Wanjun actually drove the car home, and when he realized it, the car had already stopped in the yard.And Qing Ying in the room, obviously heard the voice, ran out of the house.

Seeing Qingying's anxious face, Zhong Wanjun was in a daze.He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his eyes, not wanting Qing Ying to see that he had cried, and then got out of the car.

"Wan Jun," Qing Ying threw herself into his arms, "Why isn't your cell phone turned on?! I can't even reach you. Officer Lestrade said that you are off work normally today."

Zhong Wanjun concealed and said: "I stayed there alone thinking about the case, I forgot the time, sorry."

Qing Ying said: "Then you don't have to turn on your phone!"

Zhong Wanjun stroked Qing Ying's hair: "Probably the phone is out of battery and turned off automatically. I'm sorry, I will pay attention next time." He noticed that Qing Ying's eyes were a little swollen, and guessed that she had been taking care of them for the past few days. Myself, the edema caused by not sleeping well.Zhong Wanjun felt even more guilty, Qingying treated you like this, but you were deceiving him, Zhong Wanjun hated himself for being like this.

Qingying smiled gently: "It's okay, I just can't contact you, I'm worried. Next time, remember to bring your power bank with you, and keep an eye on your phone. Don't play Lost Contact again. You think you are Malaysia Airlines!"

Zhong Wanjun nodded, avoiding Qingying's concerned gaze somewhat uncomfortably.He felt that he was a jerk, on the one hand he couldn't forget Lei Ting, on the other hand he took Qing Ying's love for him as a matter of course.

"Are you hungry? I'll prepare for you..."

"I have to go back to the police station!" Zhong Wanjun suddenly interrupted Qingying, no, he is so confused now, he can't face Qingying at all.He was very afraid that Qing Ying would see something and hurt Qing Ying.Therefore, he must avoid Qingying, and be alone, and be quiet for a while!

Qing Ying looked at Zhong Wanjun in astonishment, as if she didn't understand why Zhong Wanjun's tone suddenly became so nervous and impatient.

Zhong Wanjun also realized what was wrong with him, and he hastened to make amends: "I... I mean, I came back to get a document, and I'm going back to the police*station right away. There's a new development in the case, so I'm going to rush back ...Well, I've already eaten supper, and I'm not hungry now. Go to bed early, I may not come back tonight, go to bed early, don't wait for me." After finishing speaking, Zhong Wanjun rushed to the second room. Downstairs, after casually taking a document in the study, went downstairs and started the car.Distraught, he didn't notice Qing Ying's unusual silence at all.

Qing Ying watched Zhong Wanjun's car disappear into the night, she endured tears for a long time, and finally burst out of her eyes.

Wan Jun, do you know that your play just now was really bad?

Wan Jun, do you know that in this Ripper case, you either put all the documents in the police station or carry them with you, and there is no so-called document you are looking for at home?

Wan Jun, do you know that the direction you just drove away from is not the direction to the police station at all?To go to the police station, you turn left when you leave the house, but you just turned right, you kept it from me, where exactly are you going?

Wan Jun, do you know that my heart really hurts?

If I didn't know the truth in advance, maybe I would be fooled by you tonight, Wan Jun, why did you lie to me? !

Qing Ying squatted on the ground, crying out in a broken voice.

§

Not long after driving out, Zhong Wanjun soon realized that he was driving the wrong way.He turned the steering wheel, turned two intersections, and drove back to the police station.

There was no one in the office at night.Zhong Wanjun turned on the light, entered his suite office, threw the documents away, stretched out his hand and loosened his tie, and then sank down on the chair.

Lei Ting, Qing Ying.

These two names kept lingering in Zhong Wanjun's mind.On one side is Lei Ting's smiling face shining like the sun, and on the other side is Qing Ying's pear face with rainy tears; one side is Lei Ting's sad and indignant questioning, and the other is Qing Ying's anxious worry; one side is Lei Ting's determination, and the other is Qing Ying's life and death ... Lei Ting, Qing Ying; Qing Ying, Lei Ting.

Zhong Wanjun's eyes fell on a group photo on the table, which was taken during the first New Year's Eve after he and Qing Ying dated.He still remembers that time when they originally decided to go to the Forbidden City in Beijing after the festival, but they canceled it because of the smog in Beijing, and finally went to Changde. This photo was taken when they were visiting places of interest in Changde.In the photo, Qing Ying is wearing a short gray top with a white winter velvet skirt, dressed in a youthful, beautiful, playful and cute way, leaning against his arms; and he bought it for him because of wearing Qing Ying The black down jacket was a bit bloated, so the movement of holding Qingying seemed a bit clumsy.The two hugged each other, smiling brightly and happily.Zhong Wanjun remembered that it was that New Year's Eve when he mentioned to Zhang Qiu that he wanted to marry Qingying.

Yes, get married.Zhong Wanjun, you have already announced the news of your marriage with Qingying. Qingying is your fiancée, the person next to you!You are hiding and deceiving her like this, and you never forget Lei Ting, where do you put Qingying?

Zhong Wanjun closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already clear.Let it go, since this life is doomed to miss Lei Ting, from now on, he will treat Qing Ying well.Geng Qingying is Zhong Wanjun's bedside person in this life!

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Wanjun opened the document in front of him, suppressed his aching heart, and focused on the case in front of him.

§

"Delia Carter, female, 44 years old, front desk foreman of the Charles Hotel, unmarried," Zhong Wanjun, who hadn't slept all night, was still refreshed as he stood in front of the whiteboard. "According to our investigation yesterday, although Delia Carter has never been married, But it has been taken care of by the 52-year-old chairman of the Charles Hotel. It has been 25 years. Phoenix—this can be seen from the fact that she is only a small foreman in her 40s—so she is very popular in the restaurant. Elizabeth Charlos, the first wife of Bill Charlos, the chairman of Charles Hotel, doesn't care about her marriage to her husband at all , she has given birth to an heir for the Charlos family, and Elizabeth Charlos only cares about her son's inheritance rights. From this point of view, Delia Carter does not pose any threat to Charlos. Our deceased had a miscarriage at the age of 29, and the doctor has ruled She couldn't get pregnant again, so Mrs Charlos, who most likely killed her, had no motive."

"The Hanbering Street where the body was found at that time has now been identified as the second scene, or the scene where the body was dumped. According to the analysis of the blood at the bottom of the wall next to the body, the murderer should be wearing a pair of Berluti (Bruti) Men's leather shoes." This is the result obtained by Zhong Wanjun using the laboratory of Barts Hospital to analyze the small bloodstain last night.

A police officer was stunned: "This brand of leather shoes is known as the most expensive shoe in the world."

Zhong Wanjun nodded: "That's right, and more importantly, Bruti's store currently only provides irregular customization once or twice a year, and the foot measurers from France will come to you according to their own time and the status of branches around the world. Come to meet the customizer, so to buy the right Brutti men's shoes, you must make an appointment in advance. Generally speaking, the time to make an appointment in advance is half a year, and when you get the shoes, you have to wait another half year. This time interval is for us Very useful, Michel."

Michel responded immediately: "I understand Sir, I will immediately investigate the list of all the people who have customized Bruti leather shoes in the past two years."

"Good," Zhong Wanjun praised him, "On the other hand, we have made progress in the investigation of perfume and the post office. This is the latest information I have obtained." Zhong Wanjun projected a document, "Chanel's latest In order to buy this perfume, in addition to having money, you also need to have certain contacts, because this perfume is a limited edition, so the number of people who buy it is very limited. This is as of yesterday, all who have bought this perfume The name list for the perfume." Zhong Wanjun handed out a few pieces of paper for everyone to see.

"Most of these buyers are women, and the rest are powerful men. According to the survey, most of these male consumers give perfume to their wives, mothers, or daughters."

"The circumstances of this investigation are probably not true," Lestrade said with a frown.

Zhong Wanjun nodded: "Indeed, when our police come to investigate, they will not confess whether they have sent perfume to a shady lover. Therefore, another direction of our investigation is very important - the post office."

"Now, we are going to divide into two teams. One team investigates the custom-made list of Bruti leather shoes, and the other team carefully screens all senders from the 23rd to the 25th, regardless of gender." Zhong Wanjun gave an order.

"Yes, sir."

After assigning the tasks, Zhong Wanjun returned to his office with the documents, and Lestrade followed. "Well, you're getting better at your job now," Lestrade said.

Zhong Wanjun smiled: "Aren't you blaming me for stealing your limelight?" He picked up the pen to write something on the document.

Lestrade was used to Zhong Wanjun's "dual purpose" behavior, so he didn't think it was impolite.He shook his head and laughed: "How is it possible, you Holmes family have never been able to hide their limelight."

Zhong Wanjun raised his eyebrows: "Are you complimenting me?"

"No, No, No," Lestrade waved his hand, "Sam, I care about you."

"Caring about me?" Zhong Wanjun was surprised.

Lestrade said: "Sam, you acted really strange after getting the transcript yesterday, are you... okay?"

Zhong Wanjun shrugged: "Don't worry, it's all right."

Lestrade said: "That's fine, your girlfriend was very concerned when she called and heard about it."

Hearing this, Zhong Wanjun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Lestrade: "Renee knows about this? What did you tell her?"

Lestrade was a little surprised by Zhong Wanjun's behavior, but he still replied truthfully: "Miss Leung called last night to ask if we worked overtime. She said she couldn't contact you. I said no, but I remembered that after you read the transcript The behavior was very strange, so I told her about it. I think the name TingLei is a little familiar, but I can’t remember where I heard it, so I told your girlfriend about it.”

With a click, the pen in Zhong Wanjun's hand fell on the table.

§

After driving home, the lights on the first floor were all dimmed. Zhong Wanjun looked down at the shoe rack and heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Qing Ying's slippers were not there.

He put down his briefcase and went up to the second floor with a box of warm egg tarts in his hand.The door of Qing Ying's room was closed, and there was a glimmer of light in the crack under the door.Zhong Wanjun hesitated for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door of Qingying's room: "Qingying?"

After a sound inside, Qingying came over and opened the door: "What's the matter?" Her face was very calm.She didn't say "You're back" because she heard the sound of the car downstairs in the room.

Zhong Wanjun raised the paper box in his hand: "I brought you back your favorite egg tart, do you want to eat it while it's hot?"

Qingying froze for a moment, she really wanted to say: "It's not easy for you, you finally figured out what I like!" But Qingying couldn't say such ironic words.She was silent for a while, and finally just said "thank you", then took the egg tart, turned and went back to the room.

Zhong Wanjun followed in: "Actually... I have something to tell you."

Qing Ying put the egg tart on the corner of the table, and sat down with her back to Zhong Wanjun: "Go ahead."

Zhong Wanjun hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Qingying, after this case is over, let's get married."

Qing Ying froze, and then let out a sneer.

Zhong Wanjun felt sad, sure enough, his self-righteous deception hurt Qingying.

"I'm sorry." Zhong Wanjun heard his own low voice.

"For what?" Qing Ying asked back.

Zhong Wanjun said, "Because of my deception last night...Actually," he paused, "Actually, Lei Ting came to London."

Qing Ying was silent, waiting for Zhong Wanjun to continue.

Zhong Wanjun said: "Lei Ting, Qiu Qiu and Zhi Ge, they are the ones who found the third deceased."

"That's really a coincidence." Qing Ying said coldly.

Pretending not to hear the sarcasm in Qing Ying's words, Zhong Wanjun continued: "I didn't meet them at the scene, and I only knew about them when I went back to the police station to read the transcript afterwards. "

"That's why you were so excited. The girl you've been in love with since childhood came back, and then you couldn't wait to find her, and you turned off your phone so that I wouldn't bother you, right?" Qing Ying turned around and sneered Said softly, "We reunited after a long absence, and your eyes are swollen from crying, right? Do you think I'm blind and can't see?"

"Qing Ying." Zhong Wanjun didn't like her sharpness at the moment, "I haven't met Lei Ting, she still doesn't know me...we are still alive."

"So?" Pain, jealousy, inferiority, and fear all surged up in her heart, and Qingying spoke more and more meanly, "Now you are here to discuss with me how to deal with it, right? Lei Ting is back, and I am the substitute. It's time to retire. What are you going to use to compensate me? Money? An 'I'm sorry'? Or this box of cheap egg tarts?"

Zhong Wanjun couldn't stand Qing Ying's tone at this time: "Qing Ying, don't make trouble for no reason, okay? I said when I walked in that I want to marry you. I didn't come to talk about breaking up with you. Is it okay to have a little confidence in people's feelings?"

"Confidence?" Qingying laughed back angrily, and she burst into tears, "I want you to give me my confidence. But you only saw a signature, and you started to hide it from me, and even lied to me; Will you and Lei Ting really meet in the future? How are you going to treat me? You said you are going to marry me now. I’m sorry. I don’t have any confidence in this marriage now. I really doubt that you will marry me in the future. Will divorce me because of Lei Ting!"

Zhong Wanjun was furious, he came here today to ask for peace, why did Qing Ying use such a tone, and keep Lei Ting in three words!Wouldn't it be nice to get along happily like before?He was just about to have an attack, but he was stunned. The green cherry in front of him, with watery eyes, bit his lips stubbornly to keep from crying. His eyes were filled with sadness and fragility that he had never seen before.Zhong Wanjun felt distressed, this matter was originally his fault, what right did he have to accuse Qing Ying of making trouble for no reason?He is the one who is obviously making trouble for no reason.

Zhong Wanjun took a step forward, holding Qingying in his arms: "I'm sorry Qingying, I didn't mean to lose my temper with you. Yes, I admit, I almost went to Lei Ting last night, but I really didn't see her in the end .My childhood sweetheart with Lei Ting for 12 years, I don't forget her so easily, I know it's unfair to you, but I beg you to understand me."

"Qing Ying, my feelings for you are also true. I really want to form a family with you. You are my pillow. I hope that the first thing I see when I wake up every morning is you."

"Qingying, you know, I even thought about it. After we get married, we will move to the suburbs where the air is good and the environment is good. I bought a piece of land there and designed a building The old castle, there is our wedding room, a room for DaddyMummy, a guest room, and a baby room. If you want to play for a few more years, I don't mind, we are still young, there is no rush after marriage Want to have children. When we are all older, we will have another baby, preferably two, so that the children will not be alone."

“We would watch our children grow up day by day, send them to school and pick them up at the weekend. When the weather was nice, we would sit on the lawn in the garden and have a picnic while our children played , the two of us sit together, we can talk about work, we can talk about the kids, or we can talk about nothing, just sit back to back like that.”

"Qingying, I know it was wrong for me to lie to you. I ask for your forgiveness. Don't be angry with me, okay? I really hope that I can live a good life with you."

"Qing Ying..."

Qing Ying lay in Zhong Wanjun's arms, weeping uncontrollably.She admitted that she was moved by Zhong Wanjun's imaginary future, and she was moved to disappointment.She never thought about what Zhong Wanjun was thinking.It's just that she always thought it was her extravagant wish, subconsciously she always felt that Lei Ting would stop them, and she was ready to break up.But she didn't expect that when things came to an end, she still couldn't convince herself to accept it calmly, so she couldn't help but utter those harsh words one after another.But now Wan Jun told her that what she was expecting was not extravagant, it could be realized, it was all within reach, as long as she forgives.Qingying had to admit that her heart was moved, facing the temptation to form a happy family with Zhong Wanjun, she was moved.

Happiness, what an elusive word.She is like the most beautiful cup, attracting people, but those who drink it will never know whether the cup contains the fine wine that puts them in the clouds, or the poisonous wine that leads them to the abyss.

Qing Ying thought sadly, her life was really in Zhong Wanjun's hands.What Zhong Wanjun said today reached her heart, she thought, even if the happiness that Zhong Wanjun promised was a glass of poisoned wine, she would still be happy with it.

Qing Ying hugged Zhong Wanjun tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay."

Zhong Wanjun was ecstatic, and hugged Qingying back even harder.He couldn't help kissing Qing Ying's forehead, and finally fell down on the bed with Qing Ying in his arms.Qing Ying stretched her body obediently, and entangled with him almost enthusiastically, until both of them were dripping with sweat.They were lying on the same bed, she leaned in his arms, drowsy.

Before falling asleep, Qing Ying seemed to hear herself asking: "Wan Jun, our future will be happy, right?"

She didn't hear Zhong Wanjun's answer before she passed out.

The author has something to say: Some people say that I wrote Wan Jun as a scumbag...囧
