Mystery Pursuit

A kiss blocked all the words Wu Yuzhou wanted to say, and the ear was hot, like a feather scratching the auricle lightly, itching accompanied by numbness.

Seeing his dodge, Yu Ye raised his head slightly, and moved his face from his ear to Wu Yuzhou's. Their eyes met each other, their noses were close to each other's, and their breaths blended together, which was extremely ambiguous.

After watching for a while, Yu Ye suddenly smiled, touched his forehead lightly in front of Wu Yuzhou's, rolled over at random, stretched his arms and lay flat, stared at the ceiling for two seconds, and touched his forehead, just now The place where I touched Wu Yuzhou was hot, I turned around, and pressed my palm to Wu Yuzhou's forehead, it was burning hot, "Have a fever?"

Wu Yuzhou's head seemed to be heavy with lead, and he didn't want to talk or care about others.

Realizing the problem, Yu Ye sat up from the bed, "Where is the thermometer?"

Wu Yuzhou answered in a daze, "No."

Is a thermometer a must-have for the family?Yu Ye raised his eyes and looked around the room. There were few things like an empty house. It was normal to have nothing, and he was a little angry. I haven't seen him in these years. Is he just getting older?He can't take care of himself at all, and pretends to be injured all over his body.

From this point of view, it’s really not Zhou Qizheng. When Congee Congee is sick, he loves to be clingy and coquettish, unlike Wu Yuzhou who pretends hard. Yu Ye is angry and his tone is not as good as before. Heavy."

"It's getting late, Team Yu go back first, don't worry about me." His body was heavy and tired, and his head hurt, but Wu Yuzhou didn't want to bother Yu Ye, and he didn't want Yu Ye to see him sick again and again, besides, fever was nothing to him , When I was a drug dealer's servant in the early years, I didn't care about my headaches and brain fever.

"It's all like this, and you still want to drive me away? Okay! I'll go." Yu Ye put on his shoes and went out. After 10 minutes, he came back with a thermometer and antipyretics. He recognized everything, Zhou Qizheng's love for him when he was young, now he wants to return it tenfold.

As soon as his body temperature was 39 degrees, Yu Ye first took out the anti-fever stickers and put them on Wu Yuzhou, then went to the kitchen to boil water, and found a difficult problem in the kitchen, there was no water dispenser, no kettle, except for tap water, there were only rows of ice water in the refrigerator , If you are sick, you must not drink ice water. Yu Ye has a big head. He searched the cupboard and found no water boiling tools. Finally, he used a frying pan to boil some hot water, brought it to the bedroom, and helped Wu Yuzhou get up to drink medicine.

People who usually take painkillers without drinking water, and swallow directly, are now groaning and refusing to take antipyretics, thinking that antipyretics are too bitter without sugar skin.

Yu Ye broke the Baiyao tablet into two pieces, and handed it to Wu Yuzhou's mouth, "I'll break the medicine in half, put it in your mouth, take a sip of water and then go down, it won't taste bitter, and won't make your throat crack. "

Wu Yuzhou glanced at the pill in disgust and turned his head.

Yu Ye took another step closer, "After taking the medicine, the fever subsides after sleeping, be good."

The peach blossom eyes were burning red, and the radiant eyes were as clear as water, and contained a trace of grievance, just like a child, being stared at by such eyes, Yu Ye had no choice but to put on his coat and go out to buy medicine and capsules again, Wu Yuzhou just Eat it smoothly.

Wu Yuzhou fell asleep quickly after taking the medicine, and when he woke up the next morning, he opened his eyes and was still lying in Yu Ye's arms in the same sleeping position as last night. With the arm coming over, he got up and got out of bed, glanced at all kinds of medicine packages in the trash can, sighed, didn't want to trouble Yu Ye, but his body was not up to date, he was too tired these days, if this continues, next time it might not be as simple as having a fever.

His health is declining, but his sister's whereabouts, and his parents' case are still unclear. If the murderer is not caught, he will die first, and Yu Ye will become more and more entangled. If this continues, he may lose control. He wrapped his arms around, put his palm on his forehead, and muttered in a low voice, "The fever is finally gone." Just after waking up, his voice was still a little hoarse.

"Fish... thanks!"

Hearing Wu Yuzhou's name was Yu, not Yu Dui, Yu Ye instantly regained his energy, "For the sake of taking care of you overnight, don't call Yu Dui in the future, Brother Yu sounds pleasing to the ear."

"Okay." Wu Yuzhou agreed readily.

Yu Ye couldn't help but twitched his lips, "Are you hungry? I'll make you some porridge."

"I have no rice at home."

Yu Ye: "..."

Wu Yuzhou's house didn't have any extra toiletries, so Yu Ye had to go out to buy, and buy breakfast by the way. It's autumn, and it's chilly in the morning and evening. "I'm all cold, don't come here."

"Not so squeamish." Wu Yuzhou snatched the breakfast from Yu Ye's hand and put it on the dining table. He was outside all these years, hungry and full. It's gone, he is reckless when he does things, and he is frightening when he is ruthless. People around him are somewhat afraid of him and dare not approach him. Only Yu Ye always looks at him with the same eyes as before.

"It's not squeamish anymore, it's not cute at all to be cold." Yu Ye said.

Wu Yuzhou paused when he unpacked the lunch box, and looked up at him, "I'm not a girl, what do I want to be cute? Why do I always compare myself to girls? I'm a girl?"

Yu Ye was amused by him, "You used to be a bit like a girl, with bright eyes and fairer skin than a girl."

"So you always regarded me as a girl before?"

"No, I still know the difference between you and the girl."

The two talked about the past peacefully for the first time, and they smiled when they looked at each other.

"It's a rare rest. You should stay at home to recuperate well today and don't go out."

Wu Yuzhou thought about this Saturday, and promised Wu Weiguo to visit Wu's house before, "I can't raise him, so I will go to my former uncle's house as a guest."

"Primary school teachers?"

"Ah."

"His daughter is so entangled, you didn't admit it, why did he admit it as soon as he came?"

Wu Yuzhou shrugged, and said helplessly: "Uncle Wu knows that birthmark, I can't hide it, he picked off my pants in public that day."

Yu Ye laughed, "I blame your birthmark for being too long. Is this Uncle Wu reliable?"

"He, my father, and Uncle Zhang Cheng, the three of them grew up together like brothers. Except for my aunt, they are my closest relatives in Jingchuan, so it doesn't matter."

Yu Ye nodded, "That's good. There are many people and strength is great. Maybe some of them know your sister's whereabouts. I'll drive you there later."

"You've been tired for several days, go back and rest, I'll just take a taxi."

"I'm not tired. It's only been a few days. Dalin and I didn't sleep for four or five days at most, and we could fall asleep standing up." Yu Ye couldn't help laughing as he recalled the scene of fighting side by side with his friends.

From college to work for more than ten years, Lin Jie and Liang Yuxuan have been by Yu Ye's side all the time, and Wu Yuzhou is actually envious.

Entering Wu's house, seven or eight people in the living room looked at Wu Yuzhou in unison. The Zhang and Wu families were all there, waiting for him around a table full of dishes. He hadn't seen these people for a long time, and he was stunned for a while.

Wu Jingyi walked over, pulled him into the crowd by the arm, and said to everyone: "I recognized Brother Zheng at a convenience store that day, but he refused to admit it. If my dad hadn't gone to him again, he still wouldn't admit it now. .”

Wu Yuzhou smiled politely and apologized to Wu Jingyi.

Wu Jingyi is a warm and cheerful girl, she didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all, and said with a smile: "Only by punishing yourself with a drink can I forgive you."

Wu Weiguo's wife glared at her youngest daughter, "Don't be ignorant." She stepped forward, pulled Wu Yuzhou to sit at the dining table, and said to the others, "Stop standing, all sit, all sit."

Wu Yuzhou sat down and quickly glanced at the people around the table, familiar, unfamiliar, and absent.

Wu Jingyi caught a glimpse of his scrutinizing eyes and stood up to introduce Wu Yuzhou. She went to the two children first, pointed to the eight or nine-year-old boy and said, "My brother Wu Qili." Then she pointed to another five or six-year-old boy and said: "Brother Yan's son."

Wu Yuzhou bought gifts for Zhang and Wu's family, and when he left, everyone was studying, and he never thought that there was such a thing as a junior.

Before getting off the car, Yu Ye stuffed a few red envelopes in his pocket, saying that if there were any children, the red envelopes would be distributed to the children, and if there were no children, they would all belong to him. Finally, he hurriedly took out the red envelopes and distributed them to the children.

Zhang Cheng has two sons, the eldest son Zhang Yan is three years older than Zhou Qizheng, and the youngest son Zhang Miao is the same age as him. When they were young, he and Zhang Miao often pestered Zhang Yan. When they reached adolescence, Zhang Yan went to university and got in touch with each other more and more. less.

He and Zhang Miao have been together from elementary school to high school, so there is nothing to say about their relationship. After entering the door, Zhang Miao's eyes turned red several times.

Wu Weiguo has three children, the youngest son was born after an accident in the Zhou family, the eldest daughter Wu Jingzhu is one year younger than Zhou Qizheng, and the youngest daughter Wu Jingyi is the same age as Zhou Qilu.

When I was young, adults often asked Wu Jingzhu, do you want to marry Zhang Miao or Zhou Qizheng when you grow up?Wu Jingzhu chooses Zhou Qizheng every time, and when she reaches adolescence, her little thoughts are shattered by Zhou Qizheng's sexual orientation, and the small feelings gradually disappear and become pure friendship.

Now that Zhang Yan is married and has a child, he has gained a lot of weight.

Zhang Miao's appearance has not changed, and there is no one around her.

Wu Jingzhu was not there.

Wu Jingyi went to college and became a big girl.

Of the four old people, Zhang Cheng was not here, and the other three were all old. Zhang Cheng's wife aged the fastest, and half of her hair was gray in her fifties.

Wu Jingyi is a living treasure, she is not at all cold at the dinner, you and I have a good chat, it seems that Zhou Qizheng's 12-year gap does not exist, everyone seems to have agreed, no one mentioned it, and no one asked why he didn't die?A meal was lively and lively.

The bathroom of the Wu family is facing the study room. Wu Weiguo usually likes to read books. The bookshelf is full of books. There is a copy of "Book of Changes" on the table.

Wu Yuzhou came out of the bathroom and saw Wu Weiguo staring in front of the map, as if he was thinking about something, he walked over and whispered, "Uncle Wu."

Wu Weiguo came back to his senses, smiled and waved him in, and asked with concern, "Are you full?"

"I'm full." After hesitating for a moment, Wu Yuzhou asked doubts in his heart, "Why didn't Uncle Zhang come?"

The smile in the corners of Wu Weiguo's eyes disappeared, and he sighed, "After something happened to your family, something happened to Zhang's family. Your Uncle Zhang attempted to commit suicide and became a vegetable because of his brain injury. The Zhang family spent a lot of money on treating his illness. It's a pity. It never worked."

In my memory, Zhang Cheng is the kindest one among the elders. He often secretly buys sweets for the children. He always smiles when he sees everyone. He is famous for his good temper. How could such a person commit suicide?Wu Yuzhou asked, but Wu Weiguo didn't answer, and kept sighing.

Zhang Miao came to the bathroom, saw Wu Yuzhou, turned directly into the study, and gave him a firm hug with his arms outstretched, "Welcome home, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."

Wu Yuzhou didn't want the atmosphere to be too sad, so he deliberately said, "How dare I walk in front of you."

Zhang Miao let go of him, smiled, and punched him on the shoulder with a fist, "It's good to be alive."

Wu Yuzhou took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao was stunned, "Are you smoking?"

"Ah."

Wu Weiguo put the ashtray in front of them, went out knowingly, and closed the door for them by the way.

They hadn't seen each other for many years, and they were full of conversations, and they didn't know where to start. After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Miao took out a business card and handed it to Wu Yuzhou, "I opened a hotpot restaurant on Chunshui Street. Go to eat when you are free."

Wu Yuzhou looked at the address and put away his business card, "How did you make the meal?"

Zhang Miao smiled, "Jingzhu likes to eat hot pot, so I opened it."

Wu Yuzhou remembered that Wu Jingzhu was not here today. With the relationship between the two of them, it was impossible for Wu Jingzhu not to come to Zhou Qizheng's welcome banquet, "Isn't Bamboo in Jingchuan?"

Zhang Miao nodded.

"Where is she?"

Zhang Miao lit another cigarette and took a deep puff, "No one knows where she is. The matter of your family has hit Zhuzi very hard. Since then, her personality has become very weird. She rarely goes home and rarely goes home. Contact us, I went to the south as soon as I graduated from university, and I haven't been back once in these years.

One year, I asked someone to find out her whereabouts. I took the train there. She worked as an accountant and lived alone in that kind of self-built house. She had no boyfriend or friends. As a different kind, I chased her to be my girlfriend, but she didn't agree, and I didn't agree to ask her to come back. I couldn't hold her back, so I had to come back by myself. After a while, I went to find her again, but the landlord said she moved away, and obviously didn't want to see her I haven't been in touch since I came back. "

"How can my family's affairs have such a big impact on bamboo?"

"At that time we were all young, no one had contact with death, and thought that death was far away. Suddenly, all of your family died. Who can bear the huge gap? I was still depressed for a long time, let alone the girl Zhuzi. "

The two were silent. After a while, Zhang Miao changed the subject, "How have you been these years?"

"I'm fine."

Regarding Zhang Cheng's suicide, Wu Yuzhou swallowed the words a few times, and it was inappropriate to ask these questions just after reunion, so he should wait until he becomes more acquainted in the future to ask.

Everyone was still waiting outside. He and Zhang Miao didn't say much, they left each other's contact information, made an appointment to meet alone next time, and went out.

Arrived at Wu's house at noon, left after dark, walked out of the building door, a beam of light came from the parking lot in the distance, Wu Yuzhou subconsciously raised his hand to block the light, between his fingers he could vaguely see Yu Ye's car in the depth of the light source, walked over, and looked carefully Seeing that it was really Yu Ye, "Why are you still here?"

Yu Ye slept in the car all afternoon, and now his neck was sore, he stretched his neck, and said lazily: "There are comings and goings, I sent them, and naturally I have to send them back."

"You should go home and rest, I'm not a child."

Hearing something wrong in Wu Yuzhou's tone, Yu Ye hurriedly changed the subject, "I'm hungry, accompany me to have some food."

People waited all afternoon, but Wu Yuzhou refused to speak.

He ordered a table of dishes at the restaurant Yu Ye, he was not as picky as before, he ate big mouthfuls, he could see that he was really hungry and filled his stomach, he said, "Zhang Cheng's family is also going this afternoon?"

Surprised, Wu Yuzhou put down his chopsticks, raised his head and asked, "How do you know Zhang Cheng?"

Yu Ye picked up his cup and took a sip of tea, "I know all the people related to your family. On the afternoon of the incident, a neighbor saw Zhang Cheng go to your house, had a big fight with your father, and then slammed the door out. Something happened to your house.

Zhang Cheng became the biggest suspect. The police interrogated him many times, but no substantial evidence was found. Zhang Cheng was sincere and positive. After he was released, more than half a year later, not knowing what happened to Zhang Cheng, he suddenly committed suicide by drinking medicine. The family found out in time, and sending him to the hospital counted as saving his life, alas...it was almost dead. "

Wu Yuzhou did not expect that half of the questions in the afternoon would be solved by Yu Ye. Why Zhang Cheng committed suicide back then, I am afraid that only the Zhang family knows.

"Your father's case has two directions. One is the criminal's retaliation, and the other is the crime committed by an acquaintance. Now that you have used the identity of Zhou Qizheng to reunite with the old man, do you think it is possible that Zhang Cheng is the murderer of his parents?"

Wu Yuzhou was silent for a long time, and said, "I don't know."

The relationship between Zhang Cheng, Wu Weiguo and their father was something he had grown up with since he was a child. They were not siblings, but real brothers. Emotionally speaking, he did not believe that Zhang Cheng would kill his father. He couldn't believe the relationship between people.

A week passed quickly. One night, Yu Ye went to Liang Yuxuan Bar to sing, Wu Yuzhou rested at home, Lin Jie coaxed the children to play, and Wu Fei stayed at home to watch movies. Several people in different places and doing different things were called by Cheng Xiaolu at the same time. Go back to the police station.

Another homicide occurred in the old town located in the northwest of Jingchuan City. In the dilapidated old building, there was always a stench from the third floor. People know where the smell comes from. After a few days, the smell became stronger and stronger. Some residents sniffed in front of 301 and 302 and confirmed that the smell came from 301. No one answered when they knocked on the door, so they called to report call the police.

The police from the police station contacted the owner of 301. The landlord rented out the house a year ago and hadn’t been back for a while. He didn’t know what was going on in the room. The police unlocked the door after getting the landlord’s permission. The smell inside the house was disgusting.

The room has one bedroom and one living room, and the area is not big. The door is facing the living room. There is a person sitting cross-legged on the sofa. His face is swollen and rotten. On the deformed and distorted face, the smile on the mouth of the deceased can still be seen.

The deceased's coat was stuffed into a cotton bag, and when the cotton bag was removed, the skin on the abdomen was cut open, and the incomplete internal organs were rotten and maggots grew. The novice policeman was not often involved in murder cases, so he ran out to retch immediately after seeing this scene.

The situation of the deceased was similar to that of the previous homicide in the round building, and the case was transferred to the city bureau immediately.

Yu Ye walked into the scene of the crime, and the strong stench in the air made his stomach churn. Enduring his nausea, he approached the corpse step by step.
