What's in the depths II

"Thailand? Why do you want to travel to Thailand?" Yunqian asked puzzled.

"Travel, can you put some serious business in your mind?" Yu Yuan sighed, and then casually pulled out the report from the fax machine.

"We have a live broadcast group called Tanlingshe on the domestic Internet. Last month, they went to explore the legendary haunted house in Thailand, but they disappeared. This is a photo sent by the Thai police. They finally found it at the back of the haunted house. These three."

With that said, Yu Yuan handed the fax in his hand to Yunqian.

Yunqian took the fax, and on the top was a black-and-white photo the size of a tofu block. In the photo were two women and a man, all three of whom had been hung from a tree.

"These three explorers are all residents of Huiyuan City, and they are all students of Huiyuan University. They are third-year majors in photography. The names of the three are Zhang Taiyu, Xu Qiucheng, and Yao An. They set off on the [-]th of last month. Going to Ayutthaya, Thailand, according to the audience in the live broadcast room at that time, the live broadcast was interrupted for the first time around [-]:[-] in the evening, and then the live broadcast was connected back at around [-]:[-] p.m., but in the following live broadcast process In the process, everyone saw a white figure flashing past, and it was unclear whether it was a woman or a man, but right after that, the machine was affected by the magnetic field and the live broadcast was interrupted again, and then the three people died strangely."

"What did the Thai police say?"

"The green house has always been a forbidden area over there, and the foot of the mountain is guarded. I don't know how the three deceased escaped the guards' eyes and entered the mountain. There are not many people going there, and weeds are overgrown. , It is difficult to judge the footprints, and to put it bluntly, the criminal investigation technology over there is relatively backward, so I hope to transfer the case back, please let us go to investigate."

Yu Yuan sighed: "I originally planned to take my wife there to play on the National Day this year, but it turned out to be six months earlier by mistake."

"Then we must go?"

"Yes, the superior directly dispatched this special case to our department." Yu Yuan took the fax back and looked at it again, "The image is too blurry, so I can't see the scene clearly, so I still have to make a trip. "

"So since it's an order, why did you ask for my opinion?" Yun Qian rolled his eyes.

"Let's follow a procedure." Yu Yuan smiled, "I'll go to the deceased's school to find out the situation in a while, you go home and pack your things, we will probably leave tomorrow."

"So urgent?!" Yun Qian was shocked.

"After all, the evidence doesn't wait for anyone." Yu Yuan shrugged, turned around and left the office without saying anything.

----------

When she got home, Xiyuan had just had dinner made by the nanny and was doing her homework in the room. When she heard the door knock, she ran out to greet her with a smile on her face.

She threw herself into Yunqian's arms enthusiastically, smiling with eyebrows and eyes crooked, and happily called "Dad".

Thinking of not knowing how long we will be apart from Xi Yuan, Yun Qian wanted to cry again at this moment, he knelt down and hugged Xi Yuan, looked into her blue eyes, and asked softly:

"Eaten dinner yet."

Xiyuan nodded, holding Yunqian's neck tightly with her two small hands, staring at Yunqian with her big eyes without blinking.

Just as Yun Qian was about to say something, the door opened, and An Yan walked in.

"You came back very early today."

An Yan took off his suit jacket, walked towards the bedroom while untiing his tie, and even unconsciously ignored Xi Yuan.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Thailand to go to work, and now I'm back to pack my things. Ah, did Yu Yuan tell you about the live broadcast case?"

Yun Qian was taken aback: "Are you going too?"

"Yes, there are quite a few people going this time, about [-] or so." An Yan took off his tie and hung it up, "The superior attaches great importance to this matter and asks to bring more people there. Everyone in our department will go."

"Then what about Xi Yuan!" Yun Qian's voice suddenly rose an octave.

An Yan glanced at him, and said lightly, "Isn't there a nanny here?"

"Do you think I will leave Xiyuan here for a few days or even ten days at ease!"

"You are worried, but there is nothing you can do. This is work."

Yunqian paused, and put Xi Yuan, who was full of worry, on the ground, and said softly, "Xi Yuan will go back to her room to do her homework first, okay, I have something to tell my uncle."

Xi Yuan nodded, and walked back into the room with great uneasiness.

Yun Qian followed An Yan into their bedroom, closed the door casually, looked at An Yan, and said in a cold voice, "Isn't it too irresponsible for you to say that?"

An Yan packed her luggage without raising her head: "My responsibility is to investigate the truth of the case, and the nanny is good, so what are you worried about?"

As soon as these words came out, Yun Qian only felt that his heart was half cold. He knew that An Yan didn't like to see Xi Yuan very much, and he also knew that his nature was like this. Work was more important than life, but in a sense, In other words, Xi Yuan was adopted by him, and he is Xi Yuan's father. If An Yan doesn't like Xi Yuan, does it mean that he is not that important to him at all.

"But." Yun Qian choked up, "But it's been so long, have you asked Xi Yuan even once when you came home? She was there just now, but you didn't even say hello to her, she was just a Little girl, why don't you like this? Didn't you promise me that you would treat her well? "

An Yan felt that this sentence was really ridiculous, so he didn't even bother to reply, and continued to pack his luggage.

"Speak." Yunqian continued to ask without giving up.

"If you think so, there's nothing I can do." An Yan seemed to not want to waste words with him, and walked out with his suitcase.

"Where are you going?" Yun Qian was in a hurry, and quickly chased after her.

"Institute, there is still one thing that has not been dealt with. I won't come back to sleep tonight. I will leave directly tomorrow morning. Don't wait for me." Throwing these words, An Yan opened the door and walked out.

Looking at the cold wooden door, Yun Qian suddenly felt his heart sank. He didn't know whether his choice was correct, nor did he know how to deal with the relationship between An Yan and Xi Yuan. Yan somewhat disappointed himself, why bother with a little girl.

Really can't understand.

After a long while, Yunqian lost his head and planned to go to see Xiyuan first, but he saw Xiyuan standing behind her barefoot, leaning on the wall with her small hands, looking at her nervously.

Yunqian sorted out her emotions, and put on a smiling face as much as possible: "Has Xiyuan finished her homework?"

Xi Yuan stood there without moving or speaking, but the tears rolling in her eyes had already betrayed her.

"What's wrong?" Yun Qian was still smiling.

Xiyuan frowned, ran up to Yunqian with two short legs, hugged his waist, raised her head, her big eyes were full of tears, and she even cried out in despair :

"Don't abandon me."

My heart hurts like a needle prick.

Xiyuan is an insecure child. She had to be raised in a cruel way different from ordinary people since she was a child, because she is the goddess of the royal family. She was doomed to be lonely from birth. A major earthquake took the lives of her parents Her status as a goddess was taken away, her last refuge was also destroyed, and she was even resold here like a commodity. She had no relatives and no reason, and was alone in the world. She came to this family anxiously, She knew that she was not pleasing, that she was the redundant one, and that her coming would only cause trouble to others, so she always lived carefully.

However, she still doesn't want to lose everything she has now, which is precarious and unreliable.

Yunqian knew all of this.

Yunqian smiled, knelt down, wiped the tears on Xiyuan's face, and whispered: "Dad will never leave you alone, but because Dad is a policeman, there are always some unavoidable things, so Dad will go tomorrow Go abroad to catch the bad guys, you have to wait for me, I will come back as soon as possible, okay?"

Xi Yuan sobbed, her little hands tightly clutching the corner of Yun Qian's clothes, her body trembled with crying.

Yunqian sighed, took out his cell phone, found Bai Sifan's contact information, and dialed it.

After the case of the missing child was over, Bai Sifan never thought that one day he would still receive a call from Yunqian. To be honest, he was more or less happy.

"Where is it?" Yunqian asked bluntly.

"At the police station, they are assisting in the investigation of Liang Yuyan's case."

"How's it going over there?" Yunqian asked casually.

Bai Sifan shook his head in disappointment: "It's really not easy to handle. They hired a very powerful lawyer, and there are many people behind the scenes to fuel the flames. It is very likely that this case will be left alone."

"It can't be left alone."

"I understand, but...there is always something helpless in the world." Bai Sifan smiled wryly, and then changed the subject, "Why, why are you calling me when you have time?"

"I want to ask you a favor. Are you at the police station? I'll go find you."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Yunqian hurriedly pulled out Xiyuan's coat from the closet and put it on for her, hugged her and said, "Dad will take you to meet someone now."

Xiyuan panicked when she heard this, she didn't think there was anyone worth meeting here, and she even wondered in fear whether her father was going to give herself to others and leave her alone.

She really wanted to ask, but she also knew that she was not qualified to ask.

She pursed her lips tightly, with a weeping expression on her face.

Yun Qian smiled and stroked her soft hair: "Don't worry, you've seen that uncle before."

----------

With a distance of more than ten kilometers, Yunqian drove there in only ten minutes, and saw Bai Sifan waiting at the gate of the police station after finishing his investigation.

Seeing Xiyuan, Bai Sifan also seemed very enthusiastic, and asked Xiyuan if he wanted to eat chocolate, and said he would buy it for her.

"Actually... I want to ask you, can you take care of Xiyuan for me for a few days."

"how."

Yunqian scratched his head dejectedly: "It's not an unexpected case. We're going to Thailand. To be honest, I don't know how long it will take to get back. Unfortunately, I'm not at ease when I'm at home. Considering that your conditions are better, I want to trouble you." You."

Bai Sifan smiled: "It's fine to talk about this kind of thing directly on the phone, and I'll trouble you to make a special trip."

"Then... thank you very much." Yunqian also knew that her request was really unreasonable, "I'll go back tonight and tidy up Xiyuan's daily necessities, and pay special attention to some taboos. Their school is [-]:[-] Ten is over from school, so we must pick her up early, there are too many cars over there, it's not safe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Sifan burst out laughing with a "puchi".

Yun Qian paused: "What are you laughing at?"

"No, I just think that you really look like an old father who has broken his heart for his daughter."

Yun Qian rolled his eyes at him, then patted his shoulder seriously: "My daughter, I will leave it to you—"

----------

An Yan was shopping in a supermarket near the police station, when he passed by the toy section, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the Barbie dolls on the container, inexplicably, walked over with his feet uncontrollably, picked a little, and finally chose an Indian-style Barbie doll, then went to the counter to pay, carrying the things go outside.

At that time, he was still thinking about how to explain to Yunqian. It wasn't that he didn't like Xiyuan, nor did he find her troublesome, but that after staying alone for a long time, he suddenly didn't know how to get along with others, especially this kind of The little girl, looking back on the first half of her life, it seems that she didn't talk to the little girl much,

Maybe it's a cover-up, or maybe it's because he doesn't know how to get along, so he rarely greets Xiyuan.

But sometimes, if you slow down a step, you will never catch up again?

Busy streets, neon-flashing shopping streets, misty drizzle in the air, and men smiling at each other under the trees.

And the innocent and lovely Indian girl in their arms.

Everything is so appropriate, and everything is a little out of place.

An Yan was still holding the Barbie doll in his hand, and stared blankly at Yunqian and the tall man beside him covering his mouth and chuckling like a fool.

After a long time, he threw the doll into the trash can beside him, turned his head and left.
