Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

The entire city of Salt Spring is quietly embedded in a bay.Perhaps because it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the temperature in the four seasons is constant, the summer is not too hot, and the coldest days in winter are rarely below zero.

Shao Yuan's family lives in the old city, and it only takes a few minutes to walk to the beach.Seafood shops and snack food stalls can be seen everywhere along the way, and the streets and alleys are filled with a fishy smell, but the smell is also dyed with the human fireworks of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which is not offensive at all.

This special smell was Shao Lin's first impression of Yanquan City.

In the evening, the two had dinner at Shao Yuan's house, and then went out to enjoy the wind along the seaside trail.

Salt Spring has several coastlines, both sandy and rocky.The beach side is naturally a tourist hotspot, while the stone beach side is full of dark gravel, the scenery is flat, there are basically no tourists, and it is relatively quiet.

The two walked to the pier of a sea-crossing bridge. Shao Lin suddenly poked his head on the stone slope facing the sea, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.He hooked his fingers to Xia Yi: "Come here."

Shao Lin glanced left and right, took advantage of no one, put his hands on the fence, and stepped over.And Xia Yi stared at the warning sign not far away, committing an occupational disease on the spot: "Comrade Shao Lin, don't you see that it says 'tide danger, hurdles are strictly prohibited'? There is also a friendly reminder from the Yanquan Public Security Bureau printed below it." Well, be good, don’t commit crimes knowingly, or you will be dragged back to the public security detachment for education.”

The bangs on Shao Lin's forehead moved slightly in the sea breeze, and he leaned forward slightly with his hands on the iron railing, with a sly smile in his eyes: "Officer Xia, do you want to go back and educate me, or come down and listen to me?" Do I tell stories about my childhood?"

When Xia Yi and Ha Zai heard the words, their ears pricked up, and at the same time they flipped numbly, and with a "crash", they slid down on the gravel and came to the beach.Shao Lin carefully controlled the length of the dog's leash so that the cub would not accidentally fall into the water, and then led Xia Yi to the bridge pier.

It was the first time for Xiaoha to see the sea, and he was extremely curious.He stuck out his long tongue and chased the waves all the way, but when the waves returned, Hazai jumped back to the shore as if he had seen a ghost, with a terrified expression and howling.But when the sea water receded, his eyeballs rolled and he was ready to move again.He just chased the waves, coming and going, happy like a fool.

"It was completely flooded when the tide was high, but now it's low tide, so it's okay." Shao Lin explained, "This is my favorite place to go after school when I was young."

Xia Yi looked around and felt that the scenery was nothing special: "Why?"

"There are few people." Shao Lin blinked, "When I was at school, it seemed that a few students were drowned here when the tide was high, so no one came."

Xia Yi: "..." After getting along for a while, the biggest misunderstanding of Shao Lin is that he is "good".

Shao Lin walked to the bridge pier familiarly, found a big rock and leaned on it.On the far sea level, the star curtain hangs low, the searchlights on the bridge, and the sporadically scattered piers on the coastline are brightly lit, so that the light under the pier is good.The sea breeze is blocked by the pier a lot. If the weather is a little warmer, it is very pleasant to nest in this position to blow the wind.

Not far away, the ship was returning to its voyage, and its whistle was melodious, which was vaguely what Shao Lin remembered.It's just that the child holding the schoolbag in the memory has grown up after all, learned to be tolerant, learned to understand, and replaced the childish stubbornness with a gentle smile, but he always has the same unsatisfactory feeling in his heart.

"I like to come here because I walk in this direction..." Shao Lin raised his arm, pointed to the east, and said softly, "From here out of the bay, across the entire Pacific Ocean, to the other side of the earth, you can go to the other side of the earth." It’s where I was born and raised.”

Because under this bridge pier——is the closest place to home in the entire Salt Spring City that he could touch back then.

Xia Yi's breathing stagnates slightly.

The sea breeze was blowing, and the collar of Shao Lin's jacket that had not been pulled to the top made a slight sound.He turned his head and looked at Xia Yi nervously: "Do you still want to hear it?"

In the night breeze, Xia Yi replied in a low voice: "As long as you are willing to talk, I want to hear it."

Shao Lin couldn't explain the uneasiness in his heart at that moment, the uneasiness of exposing his heart to the scrutiny of others.He felt as if he had cut a hole in his body with a knife, finally revealing the soft texture inside.Sufficient life experience has already taught Shao Lin: Never give information that can hurt yourself to another person.

But it seemed that it was clearly a hand that could strangle him, but Shao Lin was greedy for the warmth of his palm, and willingly sent his neck up.

He thought that he could give enough trust - Xia Yi would not hurt him.

"it is good."

Shao Lin slowly opened his mouth: "When I was 11 years old, my mother suddenly told me that she would go back to China with me and live with my father's distant relatives for a while."

That was something he had kept in his heart for 17 years, but he had never told anyone about it.

"At that time, she was holding several identification documents and a long letter in her hand... I don't know why, we left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to say goodbye to my father. When I got on the plane, my mother Sitting next to me, gave me a glass of orange juice, and I fell asleep... But when I woke up, the plane had been flying for several hours, the cabin was dark, and my mother was not around."

Later, an uncle who was traveling with him told him that his mother left after he fell asleep and before the plane took off.At an altitude of 11 meters, an [-]-year-old child fell into an ice cave.

After more than ten hours of international flight landing, Shao Haifeng and his wife were waiting for him at the airport. Since then, Shao Lin has never seen his biological parents again.Of course, this is already a story.

After coming to Yanquan, Shao Lin's life has plummeted.

It's not that foster homes are bad, it's just that there's no harm without comparison.

In the previous home, Shao Lin's mother cooked like a Michelin chef. The color, smell, and appearance were all online, and they were not the same for half a year. But in Yanquan, he could only eat the box lunch that Zhang Jingjing bought after get off work every day, and he was not fat at all. The child lost weight directly.Dad used to have a special driver driving a limo to pick him up and go to school, but now he is forced to squeeze in a dirty and smelly bus. No one wants to maintain a polite social space, which makes him uncomfortable.

Even a very experienced adult knows that "it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality", let alone a young master who is not familiar with world affairs.

Young master Shao Lin said that he could not accept it.

Therefore, when Shao Haifeng told him that his parents died in a car accident on the way to China, Shao Lin didn't even believe half of the punctuation, and still said "wait a minute, maybe his parents will come to pick him up" dream.

However, as the days passed, his parents did not come, and his life at school was also very difficult.

Although Shao Lin has been taught bilingually since he was a child and has a solid foundation in Chinese, he is far behind his domestic peers in terms of reading and writing.Shao Lin is a transfer student, his grades can't keep up, he wears a face of "the world owes me [-] million" every day, speaks Chinese and often makes jokes, so he naturally becomes the bottom of the class's contempt chain and a new target of campus bullying .

However, Shao Lin doesn't speak, but it doesn't mean he is a vegetarian and dumb.Once after school, a small group in the class blocked him from going home and mocked him as a "cerebral palsy". Xiao Shaolin successfully demonstrated "a gentleman does not move his hands and speaks", "I will punch you if you scold me." 'Xiangbao', 'Problems that can be solved with one punch, I must give you five punches and then kick your second child' and other excellent qualities of school bully cubs.

Originally, Shao Lin had learned all kinds of fighting from his father since he was a child, but now he has a bad temper, and he just sent five children to the hospital by himself, and became famous in one battle from then on.

It was also after that accident that Shao Lin overheard the conversation between Shao Haifeng and his wife... In the evening, he tiptoed out to go to the bathroom, only to find that the master bedroom door was open with a light on, and his uncles and aunts were arguing.

Zhang Jingjing's voice is very sharp: "I'm worried that the education he received when he was a child is not right at all. He is so old, I am afraid that he has already decided his sex and can't change it!"

Shao Haifeng's voice was more peaceful: "It's not entirely Lin'er's fault, it was picked by his classmates first. It's wrong to block people and swear at them after school."

"His classmate is wrong, but no matter how wrong it is, it's just a child's mouth. Who didn't make a fuss when he was young, and called him a few nicknames?" Zhang Jingjing said anxiously, "But we, why did we see blood directly? ? Didn’t you see the injury? It’s about beating people to death! He even got a knife, and directly compared it to people’s necks. What did his original parents think? How can such a young child play? What about such a sharp knife? One life may be lost with this knife!"

"You were not there, and I didn't see his eyes at that time. I'm afraid now thinking about it... This is not the same as calling someone a nickname. Now we pay less for medical expenses, but I am worried that this kind of child will not be saved. You will become a murderer in the future, and you will be shot!"

Shao Haifeng had always protected Shao Lin in his words, but after hearing these words, he fell silent for some reason, as if he was thinking about something.

After Zhang Jingjing finished venting, she calmed down: "By the way, what kind of distant relatives are you? Before this, I haven't heard you mention it, and I don't think it's very close. You are a good old man. You must clean up for others. Is this troublesome, huh?"

Shao Haifeng said that this is not for discussion, he must be responsible for the child.

The husband and wife were silent for a moment, and Shao Haifeng sighed again: "It's because Lin'er usually doesn't like to talk, and can't keep up with Chinese, so he was excluded by his classmates. The psychologist suggested that we send him to an international school with all English teaching. I also see Yes, the one closest to our house is one four stops away from No. 26, and the teaching buildings are all European-style buildings, do you know that?"

"You mean Guoyu Group? The tuition fee for that semester is tens of thousands?"

Shao Haifeng hesitated: "It's not that there is no money. It is very important for children to go to school these few years. If it is taught in English, he should be able to relax..."

"No!" Zhang Jingjing interrupted sharply, "We save the money for our parents to save for the elderly. If anyone gets sick, the money will flow out. You have to pay for someone else's family. My child, will my parents have no money to see a doctor, huh?"

Shao Haifeng was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Really, husband, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this child has a lot of problems. He is 11 years old, he is too big, and he will soon enter the rebellious stage. I really can't handle it. We have tried it seriously, and we are not sorry for your relatives. "Zhang Jingjing persuaded again, "I think, if he behaves like this again, he should be sent back to a welfare institution and changed to a more suitable family, right? We really want to raise a child, so why not hug a newborn? Since I was a child, I definitely won't do this. look."

At that time, Shao Lin stood at the door in a daze for a long time.

He obviously won the fight the day before, but now he seemed to be slapped severely in the face, and his whole mind was in a daze.His trembling hands clenched and relaxed, and finally he swallowed all his emotions in one gulp.

He turned and went back to the room, walking quickly, but completely silent.

That night, he suddenly realized a truth.In this world, no one will spoil him except his parents.

He wants to go back?He has to go back on his own.

From that day on, Shao Lin became "normal" miraculously.He stopped fighting, and stopped swearing at people in English. Although his Chinese is still jerky and has a bit of an accent, he began to actively communicate and learn.Throughout the summer vacation, Shao Lin was busy with Chinese and mathematics, brushing up one exercise book after another, and relying on his innate memory ability, he made rapid progress.

When school started again, Shao Lin not only caught up with the big team, but because of his natural advantage in English, he suddenly became a "good student" and made new friends.

The parents of Shao's family were naturally very happy, thinking that the child had recovered, and overcame the hurdle in their hearts.But Shao Lin was the only one who knew that he was only holding on to his breath. Not only had the wound not healed over the years, it had also grown into an invisible black hole that could not be seen through as time passed.

"Once, I was sitting here doing my homework, and then listening to the beeping of the horn of the ship, and the sound of the waves beating on the rocks... I fell asleep right here." Shao Lin's voice was as gentle as the light passing by. The wind on the coastline, "Later I had a dream, dreaming that there was a boat docked at this port, and my parents were on that boat. They stood on the deck and waved to me, saying they would take me home. I was excited I ran up, and then I woke up."

Although so many years have passed, Shao Lin still has a sore nose when he mentions this again, and his eyes are clouded with mist: "So later, I liked coming here very much...but I never dreamed of them again."

The more Xia Yi listened, the more sad he became, and he felt a numbness and soreness in his chest, and his emotions were like waves, licking his heart one after another, making his mouth dry.Another wave came and rushed to the rocky beach, crashing into countless white foam with a "shua la la".Xia Yi stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms, wishing to rub him hard: "Stop talking, stop talking."

Xia Yi's body was still as warm as a small stove in winter, Shao Lin took a deep breath, the smell of the sea, mixed with the unique breath of this man, suddenly made him feel an unprecedented relaxation.

He just snuggled quietly for a while, Xia Yi suddenly said stupidly: "You can try to dream of me in the future."

Tears were still in Shao Lin's eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised silently again. He muttered in a low voice: "Dream of you? Did you dream of you throwing little yellow ducks all over the ground?" Closing his eyes, the tears finally slipped down. The traces were blown by the wind, like cold thorns, painful.

Xia Yi pressed Shao Lin's shoulder with one hand, pushed him away slightly, leaving enough space, wiped Shao Lin's tears with his fingertips, and said very seriously: "Because I dreamed of me, I can see it again when I wake up. .”

There was a "bang" in Shao Lin's heart.He raised his head and traced Xia Yiying's straight eyebrows with his eyes.

In the cold wind by the seaside in winter, they exchanged warm breaths, and Shao Lin felt that the atmosphere at that moment was simply wonderful, so wonderful that only a natural kiss was missing.Xia Yi only needs to bury his head a little lower—just a little lower——

But that subtle sense of ambiguity turned into embarrassment during the long silence.

Nothing happened for a long time.

Shao Lin's long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke with a light smile, his tone was full of teasing and provocative: "...do you dare to kiss me secretly only when I am asleep?"

At that moment, he felt Xia Yi's muscles all over his body stiffen.

The hand hooked around his waist tightened all of a sudden, the two of them pressed their stomachs tightly together, and Xia Yi leaned over foolishly.Shao Lin held his breath, closed his eyes, and the beating of his heart exploded his eardrums at that moment.

However, in the next second, Xia suddenly gave him a "owwow" on his shoulder.

It ruined the atmosphere.

Shao Lin petrified on the spot: "What are you doing???"

Xia Yi mumbled, "I'll give you a big kiss."

Ten thousand huskies whizzed by in Shao Lin's heart, his heart froze, and a sentence popped out from between his teeth: "...then can you please change it to a small bite?"

But such a sentence made Xia Yi blush and took a step back, with a look of innocence that made Shao Lin feel that he was bullying others.

Shao's eyes lit up: "You can't, can you?"

"You, don't talk nonsense. I am familiar with "One Hundred and Eight Positions of a Hot Kiss" and "Anatomy of a French Tongue Kiss". I can silently write all the answers on Zhihu "How to Kiss People". It’s because you haven’t found a practical partner after [-] blind dates, but you can’t—”

Holding Xia Yi's face in his hands, Shao Lin stood on tiptoe slightly, blocking all his nonsense from now on.

For the first time, Shao Lin just gently bit the opponent's lip, tasted it, but Husky suddenly found that this movement seemed quite exciting, directly pressed the person on the bridge pier, and had a good taste.

But at this moment, a strong searchlight was cast on the pier, and it happened to hit Xia Yi.A city management officer with a red armband yelled in a Yanquan accent: "Hey! You can't go down there! You're going to have sex here in winter, you guys are dying!!! Why, why are you bringing a dog with you! Not bad It's a pair of dogs and men!"

Shao Lin: "..."

Xia Yi: "..."

The two looked at each other and decided decisively - run! ! !

Ha Zai let out a "bark" for no reason, but let go of the girl happily, and finally ushered in the highlight moment of the sled dog's day.

"Fuck, you still dare to run! You will be fined if you go down!" The urban management officer cursed angrily at the railing, "Come up to me, you two! I want to see who is so shameless and shameless! What the hell! It's still two men!"

However, as soon as he ran, the city management was the opponent of the two and one dog, and soon left him behind.Shao Lin found a stone slope in front of him, and turned back as if nothing happened.

The two of them ran out of breath, but couldn't help laughing.

Naturally, Shao Haifeng's house couldn't accommodate Shao Lin and Xia Yi, so they spared a long way before returning to the guest house Shao Haifeng arranged for them.

Although the bed was not big, the two of them were still warm and seemed to have endless conversations, so they had to sleep together on the same bed.So Hazai quickly occupied a single bed, lay on the bed wagging his tail, and stared at the opposite bed with his small eyes.

Unexpectedly, these two people, with the lights off, were still chatting happily, like elementary school students who went to sleepover at a classmate's house for the first time, and the noise made Hazai toss and turn on the bed, feeling that life is unlovable and life is difficult.

"My name used to be Kyle, well, that's what I'm called now, if it's an English name."

Xia Yi repeated in his damned English: "Kale?"

Shao Lin frowned and corrected: "It's not Kei-oh, it's Kai-oh."

"I know, I know! I've seen this word on which five-star menu, it's a grass, a plant!" Xia Yi showed the confusion of a scumbag, "Shao Lin is still nice, why are you still a plant? You .”

Shao Lin scolded: "...It's not kale, it's kyle. In Scots, kyle means strait, not a plant!"

"Oh!"

"Then Shao Lin was named by Shao Haifeng and the others?"

"No, this is from my mother. She told me that this is the auspicious beast of Huaguo. She put this word in my foreign passport when I was a child. Children born abroad can choose to return to China before the age of 18. Nationality once, and then it will always be Shao Lin."

Shao Lin didn't understand when he was a child, and once thought that his mother really missed the plane because of something.But when I grew up, I realized how much my mother's heart when saying goodbye was hidden in that word.

Probably wishing him a safe and smooth life in Huaguo.

Xia Yi was afraid that he would feel sad while talking, so he quickly boasted: "Hey, our mother is educated!"

Shao Lin twisted his forearm hard.

"Ow!"

"Then your surname wasn't Shao before?"

Shao Lin shook his head: "The English spelling of my father's surname is Leong, but it is more likely to be reversed. It may be Lin, it may be Liang, it may be Ling, or it may be Long..."

"Then your father and Shao Haifeng, what kind of relatives are they?"

"How do I know? My mother said they were relatives, and Shao Haifeng's family said they were relatives. After all, there must be some relationship, right? But it must be far away," Shao Lin shrugged, "Because my own father doesn't look like Shao Haifeng at all. Haifeng."

"I look at it too." Xia Yi touched the person's face, "Their family members are not as good-looking as you."

Shao Lin protested: "I look like my dad in the eyebrows, but I look like my mom in everything else."

"Our mother is not only educated, but also beautiful!"

Shao Lin: "..."

Xia Yi was lying on his side, and he was still chatting with great interest at two o'clock in the morning: "What about your father? What kind of person is your father?"

"Actually, my dad doesn't spend much time with me. He's always busy with business." Shao Lin recalled, "He's tall, with broad shoulders, and dark skin. Actually, I was a little afraid of him. Oh yes, he always told me that if you want to learn Chinese well, you must not forget your roots. He also taught me boxing, but there is no system. I feel that I have learned a little bit of fighting, a little bit of Sanda, and both knives and sticks. One point, anyway, the road is very complicated."

"Don't rely on your dad to tell you that you're a half-baby now," Xia Yi patted Shao Lin's buttocks, "I wanted to say it last time. You seem to be quite skilled. Let's make gestures some other day."

Shao Lin sneered: "You don't want to."

"Hey, you're so arrogant, can't you just make gestures?"

"Actually, I've always had a very strange thought." Shao Lin changed into a more comfortable position in Xia Yi's arms, and murmured, "You know, sometimes I always feel that my dad is still alive." His eyes flickered as he spoke. After a trace of doubt: "But, if you say he is still alive, why won't he see me after so many years?"

The author has something to say:

ps I asked Mrs. Immortal to make an appointment with 00's character design! Mrs. Immortal handed over the draft, and I'm not done yet!Gan.

"Did you go to the tattoo parlor today?"

Shao Lin said "hmm": "I thought about it, but I still don't wash it. Do you mind?"

Xia Yi took the handcuffs and traced the rose tattoo on Shao Lin's waist, shaking his head: "I don't want you to wash it either."

Shao Lin smiled lightly and unbuttoned his collar, letting the shirt slide over his shoulders: "Look, I got another tattoo."
