What's in the depths II

The snow fell freely, and the earth was dyed white.

Children wearing rabbit cotton boots took their mother's hand and strolled along the streets of the central square of the city, holding colorful hydrogen balloons in their hands. Every house was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the streets and alleys were filled with joy brought by the Spring Festival. At this time, the old house was also replaced with new Spring Festival couplets, revealing the expectation and yearning for the new year between the lines.

The new year should be even better.

Three days ago, Yunqian moved out of An Yan's house. Although he still wanted to stay for a few more days, An Yan's leg injury had already healed, and he had no reason to hang on. If he stayed any longer, it would be a disturbance .

The General Bureau of Criminal Investigation specially approved the annual leave this year, leaving only a few police officers on duty, but other police officers must always be ready to be on call even if they are on vacation.

Yunqian's father is busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen, while Yunqian is jumping around the room like a monkey, posting blessing characters and couplets.

There is always a lump in my heart.

Before leaving, he once asked An Yan if he would go home during the Chinese New Year, and of course he was referring to An Yan's parents' home.

An Yan didn't give a clear answer, but just said "Let's talk about it later".

But the meaning is already obvious. They spend the New Year with Hemeimei's family, and having one more of themselves will make them feel uncomfortable, so let them be happy.

After posting the couplets, Yunqian went to the kitchen to take another look at his father.

Old man Yun seemed to be in a good mood, and he was still humming that inaudible little song while cooking. When the fish was cooked, it made a piercing "stinging" sound, which quickly drowned out the little song.

Yunqian shook his hands, ran back to the room, picked up his phone and sent An Yan a message:

"Happy New Year."

It took a long time to reply "Happy New Year".

It seems a bit perfunctory, but it fits An Yan's character very well.

Yunqian's cell phone kept ringing, many people sent blessing messages, and unexpectedly, he also received a New Year's message from Lin Shu. Lin Shu is special because she is very serious about everything, even the New Year's greetings The text messages are not copied and pasted, but edited word by word by myself.

This year has come to a good end. The Baiyin murder case that has lasted for many years has finally been solved, including the Korean movie "Memories of Murder". Found the answer.

Even though the prosecution period has passed, the police in the special case team have been guarding the case for more than ten years, and no one has ever thought of giving up. Therefore, because of these righteous people, everyone believes that tomorrow will be better .

At the beginning of the month, Yuan Bingqing's case was judged in the first instance of the Intermediate People's Law. The criminal suspect Yuan Bingqing was sentenced to death for intentional homicide and the circumstances were extremely bad, which caused serious social impact. He was executed in Shinan Funeral Parlor.

Speaking of which, Yunqian still felt a little embarrassed.

Disregarding the law and only discussing reason, it is hard to say who is right and who is wrong, I can only say that fate tricks people.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Yun Qian and his father were lying on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala together. His father was enjoying watching, but Yun Qian was not interested.

Sure enough, just like him, there are only a few posts, and they are all forwarding official documents issued by the Ministry of Public Security or the Ministry of Health, as if this person has no way of entertainment in his daily life.

Even Yu Yuan posted photos of him and his wife watching movies together, not to mention Su Wenyu, who is now dancing at the biggest nightclub in Huiyuan City.

Father Yun smiled and felt that it was getting late, so he quickly put on his slippers and ran to the kitchen to cook dumplings. The TV screen showed the scene of the host telling the time with a smile on his face.

Yun Qian suddenly sat up in shock, grabbed the phone and found An Yan's contact information, and dialed it.

"Now, let's count down to the new year together."

The busy speaker rang over and over again, but no one answered.

Yun Qian was in a hurry, and began to pick at the seam of his trousers with his hands unconsciously, expecting him to answer the phone quickly.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"Take it!" Yunqian said anxiously.

"Six, five, four..."

"Hello?" On the other end of the phone, the busy tone cut off, and the familiar cold voice came instantly.

Yunqian was so excited that he almost cried.

"Three, two, one! Happy New Year!"

"An Forensic Doctor, Happy New Year." Yun Qian's voice even trembled a little.

Fortunately, caught up.

Accompanied by the New Year's bell, An Yan's voice sounded so relaxed, and he replied softly: "Thank you, Happy New Year."

"Today's Chinese New Year, do you still not eat after noon?" Yunqian half-jokingly half-seriously asked.

"Yes, I'm used to it."

"Oh, don't be so rigid. Why don't you come to my house? My dad cooked dumplings and glutinous rice balls. You should eat some as well. It's a good intention."

"Next time I have a chance, it's getting late, I'll go to bed first."

Turn down the volume of the TV, but still hear An Yan's deserted, not even a human voice.

"You... haven't come home?"

"No, I just finished processing some documents on hand, so I can't go back, that's it, see you next year." After finishing speaking, An Yan hung up the phone without hesitation.

Looking at the phone interface returned after the call, Yunqian felt a sense of loss welling up in his heart.

I thought that staying at An Yan's house for a month had already strengthened my relationship with him, but it turned out that there was no difference at all in the end.

In fact, if you take the initiative for a long time, you will be tired.

Yunqian was melancholy over there when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who, it's New Year's Eve and you come to bother me." Yun Qian reluctantly opened the door while pulling on her slippers.

As soon as the door was opened, there was an old lady in ragged clothes, half of her hair was gray. Although her clothes were worn out, they were clean, but her cloudy eyes made her look listless.

The old lady was holding a thick stack of leaflets in her hand, and when Yunqian was in a daze, she pulled out a leaflet and handed it tremblingly: "Sir, this is my grandson named Xiaobao, if you see He, please tell him, grandma has been looking for him for a long time, and told him not to play around, it's time to go home."

Yunqian took the leaflet and glanced at it.

In the photo is a little boy who looks to be only eleven or twelve years old, with a very cute chubby face.

The old lady said that her grandson had been missing for half a month, and the whole family had only such a baby, and now the whole family would go door to door to inquire about the whereabouts of the child.

Yun Qian was stunned: "Didn't you call the police?"

"I called the police. I called the police from the police station in Tenghe District, but there is still no news after so many days." The old lady cried, her bony hands trembling and wiping her tears.

Yunqian murmured in his heart, it had been more than ten days since the police station could not find anyone and did not report to the police, what was everyone thinking.

Yunqian hurriedly invited the old lady into the house, poured her a cup of hot water, and told her to sit and keep warm first.

Old man Yun brought out dumplings from the kitchen, and was stunned when he saw the woman sitting on the sofa.

"Oh Dad, this is the family member of the missing person from our bureau who came to call the police. I'll let her come in and have a rest." Yunqian lied.

Although it is said that people must be kind, but this is the New Year's Eve after all, the day of family reunion, if an outsider sits here unexpectedly, no one will feel happy.

So after hearing the ins and outs of the matter, old man Yun's face was really not very good-looking.

The old lady sat for a while and said that she would go out to look for it again, so she didn't stay any longer.

Yunqian got up to see her off, and comforted her not to worry too much, things will always turn around, the old lady didn't know how much she listened to, she wiped her tears and nodded her thanks before leaving.

As soon as he got home, he saw his father sitting on the sofa with his face crossed and his legs crossed, looking sullen.

Yun Qian was cowardly, and hurriedly stepped forward to please his father and squeezed his waist and beat his legs: "Dad, who messed with you? Tell me, I'll beat him up."

Old man Yun glanced at him, then stretched out his life-threatening finger to poke Yun Qian's head, and cursed bitterly:

"You kid is a policeman and still treats our house as a shelter? Anyone who is older than the Chinese New Year will also take it home. Do you still have me in your eyes?"

Yunqian was stunned: "Dad, what do you call this? They just come here to inquire about the child. Whoever loses the child is not in a hurry."

"Cheng Chengcheng, everything in the world is your business, but you don't have to worry about your private affairs. Go and be your policeman, ah."

After all, old man Yun just used this excuse to say something about himself as a policeman. He can see it, and he has nothing to say if he wants to punish him?

Yun Qian simply didn't bother to continue wasting words with his father, put on a down jacket and left the house puffed up.

Everywhere in the city is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, smiling faces are reflected in the vast lights, and a large number of people who are celebrating the New Year gather in the central square, and the square is full of water.

Sure enough, it is true that the carnival of a group of people is the loneliness of one person.

Yunqian walked around the noisy square, found a small park, sat on a bench, and began to look at the night sky and think about life.

There was a faint breathing sound from the side, which sounded the same as himself, with a hint of loneliness.

Yunqian quietly poked his head over, thinking to find out who is not at home during the New Year's Eve, thinking about life with his family in this small park where it's hard to find anyone.

But unexpectedly, when he saw the man's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but have deep doubts.

"An forensic doctor? Why are you?!" Yun Qian was both surprised and pleasantly surprised at this moment.

The man froze for a moment, then glanced sideways at Yunqian.

His face was hidden under the dim street lights, so Yun Qian didn't see the embarrassment on An Yan's face.

"Aren't you asleep? Why are you sitting here alone?" Yunqian rushed to sit next to someone as if he had discovered some new land.

An Yan was really a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat and didn't speak.

"It turns out that you can also lie, I thought you were really the kind of upright sage." Yun Qian also poked An Yan's waist with his elbow, "You said you were alone, so I've come down to accompany you."

At this time, An Yan suddenly raised his head, and asked softly, "Do you want to drink something together?"
