Lin Qin-Arakawa

On this day, Qin Ming began to re-examine himself, why he fell in love with Lin Tao at first sight back then.

Qin Ming rarely went to the streets, unless it was absolutely necessary.But today, it was the last resort Qin Ming thought, because his coffee was about to run out.

The shop where Qin Ming often buys coffee beans is in a secluded alley called Taole Alley, and the path paved with bluestone slabs is very simple.The alley is very narrow, and if two people meet head-on, they have to turn sideways to pass.

The shop Qin Ming was going to was in the middle of the alley. Qin Ming walked unhappily. He passed small shops in the alley, including coffee shops, milk tea houses, boutiques, and even a fortune-telling house.

Speaking of this divination house, Qin Ming even entered it once last summer by accident. The decoration in the house is similar to most similar shops, pretending to be mysterious.Qin Ming felt that he wanted to leave when he turned around, but was stopped by the shopkeeper girl wearing round glasses. The girl said, "Sir, since you came in, it is fate. Draw a card."

Qin Ming hesitated for a moment and finally sat down and drew a card, which was the Hanged Man.

The girl wearing glasses held the Tarot card that Qin Ming drew out, pushed the round glasses on the bridge of her nose and said: "The Hanged Man represents self-sacrifice, and the upright Hanged Man represents that these sacrifices are meaningful and meaningful." Valuable. Peace and tranquility will come with this card."

The girl didn't say too much. An ordinary person would definitely ask the girl to explain more, but Qin Ming didn't. He paid the money and said, "Thank you." Then he left.

Passing by this store this time, Qin Ming stood in front of the store, thinking that he would actually enter such a store at that time, and even draw a card.It must have been a coincidence, Qin Ming sighed rather self-deprecatingly and continued to walk forward.

The shop that Qin Ming often goes to is not big, but the coffee beans here are first-class.The proprietress is in her 30s and is a very gentle person. She often wears a floral apron, like a quiet and beautiful housewife.According to Qin Ming's usual shopping list, she quickly packed the things Qin Ming wanted, and then sent Qin Ming out in person. When she arrived at the door, the proprietress said, "Doctor Qin, there is a new western restaurant in front of the alley. You can try it."

Qin Ming thanked the proprietress, thinking that he would try it before he had lunch, so he raised his foot and prepared to continue walking. Before his foot landed, he caught a glimpse of a familiar person in the big floor-to-ceiling glass window of the milk tea shop in front of the left. The figure is Lin Tao.Opposite Lin Tao sat a young and beautiful girl.

Are you taking your girlfriend out to play while taking a break?That's right, people like Lin Tao never lack girlfriends.Thinking about it, Qin Ming quickened his pace and walked past the milk tea shop.

In order to thank Guo Motong for his help in the case last time, Lin Tao wanted to invite Guo Motong and Guo Moyan to have a meal together to catch up on the past while taking advantage of today's vacation, but Guo Motong said that the atmosphere of the milk tea shop is more suitable for reminiscing about the past, so he pulled He came to this milk tea shop in Taole Lane.

Guo Moyan was always late, and this time he was late again. Lin Tao and Guo Motong had been waiting for him for almost half an hour. During this period, Guo Motong drank two cups of milk tea, and Lin Tao ate three sundaes.

Just when Lin Tao ate the last bite of the third sundae, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by the window, which seemed to be Qin Ming. He hurriedly got up and wanted to go out to have a look, but bumped into Guo Moyan at the door. full of.Lin Tao pushed Guo Moyan away and looked around for a long time, and there was no sign of Qin Ming in the alley.

Lin Tao muttered: "Did I read it wrong? It's Lao Qin!"

"Who is Lao Qin?" Guo Moyan asked, rubbing his nose that hurt from being hit by Lin Tao.

"Qin Ming, my colleague."

"Qin Ming? That Qin Ming who is a forensic doctor?"

Lin Tao was delighted when he heard it, and said, "Why, you know him too?"

Guo Moyan rubbed his nose while sitting next to Guo Motong, and said, "Lin Tao, you have such a bad memory. Qin Ming is also a high school student. He just transferred to a second school in high school. He even handed you water by the side of the court." ,you forgot?"

"Ah?" Lin Tao really forgot that there were too many people who handed him water by the basketball court in high school, so he couldn't remember them all.

"It's normal if you don't remember." Guo Moyan flipped through the order card of the milk tea shop back and forth, "Qin Ming rarely dealt with people when he was in school, if I hadn't had a good relationship with the son of their homeroom teacher, I might not have remembered him. Hey Lin Tao, do you think it's too bad for us to come to drink milk tea with a little girl like Tongtong when we're almost thirty?"

Lin Tao curled his lips and said, "You're only thirty!"

Guo Motong, who was biting the milk tea tube, said, "That's right, brother Tao just turned 26!"

"Hey, why do you remember Lin Tao's age so clearly? When I was a child, I kept saying that I wanted to marry Lin Tao when I grew up. What's wrong, haven't you forgotten?"

Guo Motong blushed, stepped on Guo Moyan's foot under the table, and muttered, "I don't forget what happened!"

"Tongtong, listen to what my brother told you. As the saying goes, there is a gap between three years old. You and Lin Tao have a generation gap! Don't miss your brother Tao!" Guo Moyan turned to Lin Tao, "Lin Tao, I Let me tell you, at our class reunion the year before last, there were quite a few girls who asked me about you!"

"Ah? Ask me why?" Lin Tao's mind was not on this conversation. Did Qin Ming see him and Guo Motong alone together just now? Could it be a misunderstanding?What, why do people misunderstand.Thinking about it is wrong, it seems that I still have to explain it to Qin Ming.Think again, explain what, isn't this matter getting darker and darker?Thinking of this, Lin Tao thought again, no, Lin Tao, what are you thinking about here, you and Qin Ming don't have that kind of relationship!Qin Ming is not that kind of person.

Qin Ming originally wanted to go home directly, but he answered a call on the way saying that the medical department was about to accept interns and asked Qin Ming how many he could bring, Qin Ming said he could only bring one.After hanging up the phone, Qin Ming suddenly remembered that the police station had something to do, so he took his coffee beans and turned back to the police station. Since Zhao Dabao was transferred away, he was the only one left in the forensic department. He had to do all the work by himself, but fortunately, Qin Ming was already used to working overtime.

What Qin Ming had to do was not something he had to do, he just wanted to go back to the office to look at the recent case files that he hadn't had time to send away.In fact, it is not impossible to read these files after they are sent away for archiving, but it is a bit troublesome. Qin Ming has always disliked such unnecessary troubles, so it is better to read more now.

The case file was flipped through page by page in his hand. After turning through three or four pages, Qin Ming suddenly put down the case file, because he found that he couldn't read it at all, and all he could think of was what he saw in the alley in the afternoon. Lin Tao was opposite him. The shadow of the girl.Qin Ming folded his hands together in front of him, and began to smooth his thoughts. After a long time, he found that he was doing useless work.

Lin Tao is not like you!Qin Ming said this to himself.Qin Ming has always been clear about his orientation, and he also knows that he likes Lin Tao. He has liked him since the moment he saw him on the sidelines in his sophomore year.At that time, Qin Ming handed Lin Tao a bottle of water, and mustered up the courage to say something to Lin Tao: "You play basketball really well."

It's just that Lin Tao, who had just won the ball at that time, was so happy that he got carried away, said "thank you" to Qin Ming in a hurry, and ran to celebrate the victory with his teammates.He didn't know that it was the first time Qin Ming took the initiative to talk to others since the incident with his father.

A sound of footsteps interrupted Qin Ming's thoughts. Lin Tao strode into the gate of the forensic department. When he saw Qin Ming, he grinned silly and said, "Old Qin, I heard that the forensic department is coming for an intern. Where is it?"

"Aren't you on vacation?"

"It doesn't matter if you stop and stop, I am a people's policeman who loves to work! Hey, Lao Qin, did you go to Taole Lane today?"

"No."

Lin Tao glanced at the bag of coffee beans on the corner of the table. The shop logo printed on the bag was the shop selling coffee beans in Taole Lane.Lin Tao felt that Qin Ming was being dishonest, and he said: "The sister of my high school classmate helped a lot in the last case. I wanted to invite her to have a meal with my classmate today, but I was dragged away to the milk tea shop in Taole Lane. Let me tell you, my classmate Guo Moyan's habit of being late has become more and more serious over the years. We waited for him for almost half an hour. His sister drank two cups of milk tea, I ate three sundaes, three ah!"

Qin Ming looked at Lin Tao and said sincerely, "Then you may have diarrhea at night."

"Impossible! When I was in Vietnam..." Lin Tao's voice stopped abruptly when he mentioned Vietnam, but then he waved his hand and continued, "What about Vietnam! It's not a good thing."

Qin Ming still looked at Lin Tao in the same posture just now. He wanted to hear, he wanted to know what Lin Tao had experienced in the past six years, but he couldn't express this thought.

Seeing Qin Ming looking at him in the same posture, Lin Tao spread his hands and said, "Even if I am so handsome and charming, Lao Qin, you don't have to stare at him for so long!"

Lin Tao said that Qin Ming really changed his posture and eyes, but no matter how Lin Tao looked at it, he felt that Qin Ming's eyes were caring for a fool.

Lin Tao was frightened by Qin Ming, and asked, "Old Qin, what are you doing?"

"I was thinking, what you said still makes sense. Shiba Inu is indeed more popular."

"Huh?" Lin Tao pointed at himself, a little unbelievable, "Shiba Inu? Then you are a Husky!"

"Your analogy is very inappropriate! The dog breed of Husky..."

"Stop it, stop it!" Lin Tao said and pointed out the window, "I'm here to tell you to go home quickly, it's going to rain outside."

Qin Ming looked out in the direction of Lin Tao's finger, and sure enough, the sky that was still clear in the afternoon had already darkened.Seeing this, Qin Ming packed up the case file and arranged his clothes without saying a word, and was ready to go out.Lin Tao picked up his bag of coffee beans from behind and said, "Old Qin, your coffee beans!"

"The coffee beans are kept in the office. If they get wet on the road, the quality will be affected."

"Old Qin, let me see you off, I know you didn't drive today!" Lin Tao followed Qin Ming as he spoke.

Qin Ming waited at the gate of the police station, turned around and said, "This Shiba Inu, please keep a little distance from me, thank you!"

Comrade Shiba Inu pretended to be deaf and dumb and followed Qin Ming all the way to his car, and then started to be mean again: "It's very honest to say that you don't want your body!"

Qin Ming slammed the opened car door shut again, and was about to get rid of the Shiba Inu and take a taxi back by himself.Lin Tao hurried to pull Qin Ming, and said, "Don't go, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Then he pulled Qin Ming, the co-pilot's goalkeeper, and forced him in. Qin Ming was not happy at first, but he was a forensic doctor. No matter what, Lin Tao, the captain of the criminal police, couldn't resist him, so he was obediently stuffed into the car in the end.

He said he wanted to send Qin Ming back before it rained, but Lin Tao deliberately drove the car on some roads that are relatively congested on weekdays.By the time they got to the door of Qin Ming's house, the rain had already started to fall.Lin Tao thought that Qin Ming would sit in the car and wait for the rain to stop before entering the house, but to his surprise, Qin Ming actually wanted to get out of the car in the rain.

Lin Tao went to hold Qin Ming's hand, his voice raised an octave: "Old Qin, what are you doing?" After speaking, he found that Qin Ming's hand was trembling slightly.

Qin Ming didn't like rainy days, and he didn't like getting wet from the rain.He could see that the last rain would pass soon, so he chose to sit in Lin Tao's car and wait, but this time the thunderstorm will not pass so quickly, Qin Ming was afraid that he would be overwhelmed after a long time. He couldn't live, so he had to go back to his home even in the rain.

Lin Tao was so stunned, Qin Ming broke free from Lin Tao's hands and got out of the car. The whole body was exposed to the rainstorm, and Qin Ming's whole body was soaked in just a few steps from the car to the porch. With trembling hands, he took out the key and opened the door.It took Lin Tao a moment to react, and he got out of the car too, but he was still one step too late, Qin Ming had already closed the door heavily.

Lin Tao slapped himself on the head and cursed: "Lin Tao, you're fucking playing too much!" Lin Tao deliberately waited until the rain had started to send Qin Ming to the door. He wanted to know why Qin Ming was allergic to rainy days , also felt that it was raining heavily outside, and the feeling that he and Qin Ming sat in the car was very strange.But he didn't expect that Qin Ming's reaction to the rainy day would be so great.

Lin Tao walked around the porch in front of Qin Ming's house countless times. His clothes, which were soaked in rain, were almost dried by his furnace-like body. Finally, Lin Tao made up his mind and took out his daily lockpicking tool from his pocket. The tools were used three times, five times and two times to pry open the door of Qin Ming's house.

There was no light in Qin Ming's room. Lin Tao closed the door and called out tentatively, "Old Qin, Lao Qin?" Lin Tao took two steps, fumbled for the switch on the wall based on his memory, and finally found it after a long time. .

What Lin Tao turned on was the light in the hall and living room. The warm yellow light was not bright. Lin Tao saw Qin Ming curled up on the bed at the moment through the gap in the bookshelf as a partition.Lin Tao walked over to see Qin Ming, and he found that Qin Ming was still wearing the rain-soaked suit, and there was also a human-shaped water stain printed on the bed sheet. The bed hadn't moved even the slightest bit.

Lin Tao reached out to pat Qin Ming's shoulder, only to find that Qin Ming's whole body was trembling slightly. With his current extremely insecure posture, Lin Tao felt that a certain experience in Qin Ming's past might have become his lifetime. shadow.

Lin Tao took off his coat and threw it on a shelf beside him. He also lay down sideways in Qin Ming's position, hugged Qin Ming from behind, and whispered in his ear, "Old Qin, I'm sorry."

Qin Ming didn't answer him, but Lin Tao felt that Qin Ming, who was surrounded by him in his arms, was no longer trembling.After such a long time, the rain outside did not decrease at all. Lin Tao moved his numb arm and said, "Old Qin, change your clothes, or you will catch a cold."

Qin Ming still didn't answer, Lin Tao wanted to get up to find Qin Ming's nightgown but Qin Ming grabbed his arm.Lin Tao had no choice but to take off Qin Ming's coat and trousers, and pulled up the quilt to cover the two of them tightly.

The storm lasted all night, and Lin Tao also hugged Qin Ming all night.The rain stopped when it was just dawn in the morning, and Qin Ming also woke up at this time.The sheets and body were dry, but had a very uncomfortable feeling.

Qin Ming coughed twice, and Lin Tao woke up in a daze, and said vaguely, "Old Qin? You're awake. Are you hungry?"

"You let me go now and get out!"

Lin Tao's arm was still around Qin Ming's waist. Qin Ming moved his body, but instead of letting him go, Lin Tao took his arm back and said, "Don't be so heartless! You obviously still held me back last night and refused to let me go. .”

Qin Ming's body froze. He carefully recalled last night. He was sure that he did not lose consciousness or fall asleep, but he couldn't remember when he held Lin Tao to prevent him from leaving.

"I'm just kidding!" After saying this, Lin Tao quickly let go of Qin Ming, and kept a safe distance before Qin Ming cut him into pieces with a scalpel. The skeleton specimen yawned and said, "Good morning, Evan!"

Evan didn't respond, Lin Tao felt that Evan, a little skull, was too indifferent, just like Qin Ming!

At this time, Qin Ming also pulled back the quilt and sat up, only to find that he was only wearing underwear and a shirt.A murderous gaze was cast on Lin Tao.

Lin Tao pointed to the shelf beside him and said, "Your clothes are all soaked, I'll help you take them off. Don't thank me too much, really!"

In the end, Lin Tao was kicked out of the house by Qin Ming. Qin Ming took a shower to wash away the uncomfortable feeling on his body.It was just dawn, and it was still early before work time. Qin Ming put on his bathrobe and began to change the four-piece suit on the bed.Qin Ming stopped when he was tidying up the pillow that Lin Tao slept on. He picked up the pillow and sniffed it. The smell that belonged to Lin Tao still remained on it.

After only being in a daze for a moment, Qin Ming came to his senses. He removed the pillowcase and put the snow-white pillow core out and stuffed it into the cabinet. Although he lived alone, he put two pillows on the bed. Qin Ming felt that this habit should be changed.

After finally tidying up everything and stuffing the changed four-piece suit into the washing machine, Qin Ming was going to drink a cup of coffee and then go to work.But the barking of Shiba Inu came from outside the door—the voice of Lin Tao!

"Old Qin, open the door and have breakfast!"

Qin Ming suddenly felt a headache. He didn't want to open the door for Lin Tao, but he had to go to work today and the door would have to be opened sooner or later.Just as Qin Ming was weighing in his heart, the door of his house was already opened.

Lin Tao at the door put away the lockpicking tools, took down the breakfast hanging by the door one by one, and entered the room, saying, "I thought you were taking a bath!"

Qin Ming pointed to the pocket where Lin Tao put the lockpicking tool, and his expression was a little weird: "Can I call the police and say you broke into a private house?"

Lin Tao opened his arms and said, "No problem, I'm a policeman! Hug me!"

On this day, Qin Ming began to re-examine himself, why he fell in love with Lin Tao at first sight back then.
