Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

"Your father is still alive?" Xia Yi turned over, his eyes sparkling in the darkness, "Why do you think so? Do you have any conclusive clues?"

Shao Lin's heart skipped a beat for half a beat, and he realized that he had slipped his words.

He obviously didn't drink, but he talked a lot like he was half drunk.

Before his eyes came the pendant engraved with black roses, those red cursive characters that were exactly the same as his handwriting, the tyrant's faint hint about "father", and the unidentifiable treasure that he buried under the twin tree. A small knife flying with wings... But, if he saw his father, he would be able to recognize him at a glance.

"There are no conclusive clues." Shao Lin lightly emphasized the word conclusive, and sighed, "Just, probably, intuition."

Xia Yi reached out to caress his temples, as if he still wanted to ask, but he could feel Shao Lin's sudden uneasiness, so he didn't say anything in the end.

Shao Lin looked at his phone, and before he knew it, the two had been chatting until three o'clock in the morning.He turned over with difficulty on the bed, put one hand on Xia Yi's plump chest muscles, and patted lightly: "Sleep?"

Xia Yi rubbed his forehead with her forehead: "Good night."

Probably because of thinking about it day by day, Shao Lin, who hadn't dreamed for a long time, dreamed that he saw his father for the last time.

At that time, he was lying on his little bed, and had already fallen asleep in a daze, but he saw the door was pushed open a gap, and the light came in.The person who came did not turn on the light, but took a few steps on tiptoe, and sat gently on the head of his bed.Shao Lin narrowed his eyes and couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he could recognize this man as his father from the smell of sandalwood-scented smoke on his body.

Father's big warm hand caressed his head, and he rarely bent down and kissed his forehead.

In Shao Lin's memory, the corners of his father's mouth were always pursed into a straight line with both ends slightly sunken, and there was rarely a smile on his face, let alone any "intimate" gestures.Even when father and mother are together, they don't kiss passionately in the street at the school gate like his classmates' parents.They don't even hold hands in public.

His father was such a silent and restrained man.

At that time, Shao Lin never thought that this kiss would become his last memory of his father.At the time, he was just happy with his father's rare display of love.

Little Shaolin giggled in the dark, suddenly embraced his father with both hands, and retracted into his arms coquettishly.

The man touched his head and whispered in his ear: "I love you."

……I love you too.

I still miss you very much.

It was also that night that his father pressed the patterned dagger under his pillow, and when his mother was anxious to take him away from home the next day, he only cared about taking this dagger.

The picture in my mind switched again, and it became the boxing gym my father used to go to when I was a child.Father took off his shirt, revealing his lean and full muscles, and stood directly under the shower to take a shower.Shao Lin hadn't grown to the height of a man's waist, and it was the first time he noticed a black rose tattooed on his father's left waist.

When he was young, he was very curious about all new things. That night, little Shaolin climbed onto his parents' big bed, lifted his father's clothes and asked what it was.But Shao Lin clearly remembered that time when his father opened his hand, with a cold expression, saying that children should not care about such things.

Little Shaolin Bingxue was smart, and never dared to mention this rose tattoo in front of his father.

So many years later, on the day of Shao Lin's adult birthday, he went to a tattoo shop to have a black rose tattooed on the same spot on his father's body on the left side of his waist, according to the pattern on the dagger.

Because, from confusion, to unwillingness, to realizing the reality, he still couldn't fully accept the new identity of "Shao Lin".Everyone said that he was the son of the Shao family, but he was the only one who was afraid in his heart—whether one day, immersed in his new life, he would completely forget the past.

He didn't want to forget.

He wants to leave an eternal proof on his body.

Not only Rose, Shao Lin copied the address of his hometown and some phone numbers he could memorize in a notebook when he was very young, and went to the printing shop to seal these notes in plastic.

He thought that one day, he would go back to find the answer.

This was also the first thing Shao Lin did after going to country S for exchange.

After seven years, Shao Lin returned to the address of his former home, but was told that the small villa had changed hands twice.The current family of five moved in three years ago.The house has been renovated a long time ago. The small yard full of flowers and fruits in the past has been filled with concrete flats, and his small swing has also become a basketball hoop for other children. On the second floor, there is a small European-style balcony with waterfall-like purple flowers. It has also become a concise modern floor-to-ceiling window...

He looked at the bedroom he used to live in from a distance, trying hard to find out more shadows in his memory until his eyes were blurred.

Shao Lin failed to find a trace of his parents' existence in the birthplace.He only learned that after he left seven years ago, the local police and Interpol teamed up to arrest dozens of members of the Chinese gang "Maritime Silk Road" who covered the sky with their hands.Coincidentally, this earth-shattering case happened more than a week after he left when he was a child. However, among the arrested people, Shao Lin did not find any familiar faces, so he was not sure whether his parents were related to this case. What is the connection.

Until the Penglai Princess was hijacked.

At that time, Shao Lin had successfully redeemed a group of hostages, and the kidnapper then asked him to "cut off the communication and lose the headset".Shao Lin naturally knew that this was something that negotiators should not give up no matter what, and was about to make a detour in words when the leading kidnapper took out a bunch of pocket watches from his arms—a thick silver chain with a black and silver metal case, It was engraved with the black rose on his father's waist and on the blade of the dagger.

The sea wind was howling, and the deck under his feet was heaving and falling. Shao Lin felt dizzy and dizzy, and subconsciously gave up the communication with the headquarters.

At that time, he learned that the "Maritime Silk Road" was making a comeback, and the leader, the owner of the rose token, was called "Father" by everyone.

Later, Shao Lin had a period of memory loss, as if he had been given a muscle relaxant in a daze.Vaguely, he had seen that "father", he only saw a burly figure from the back, but that man was still unwilling to look him in the face.

The man said—

Lin, you really let me down.

But who is he?

……

Shao Lin slept very restlessly all night, feeling like he hadn't rested for a few hours, and was "licked" awake by Ha Zai on time at six o'clock.Although Hazai performed poorly in the police academy, he has successfully corrected many bad habits, such as changing from "waking up early and giving CPR to his master" to "getting up early and giving his master a gentle kiss".

Shao Lin glanced blankly at the man beside him, thinking how he was on Xia Yi's bed, and as his brain slowly turned, after a "Fuck" in his heart, there was a feeling of excitement and regret similar to that of a friend in a relationship.

Of course, this f*ck hasn't been shot yet.

Seeing that Shao Lin woke up, Ha Zai stepped on his chest to lick Xia Yi again.Xia Yi only slept for three hours in total, and now he is sleeping deeply.He turned sideways, subconsciously turned his head away, and put his arms around Hazai, humming: "Don't lick me."

Hearing this, the fluffy dog ​​licked its owner's cheek again.

Xia Yi struggled, and muttered again: "Linlin, stop licking." As he spoke, he twisted on the bed, not knowing what he dreamed of, his brows were slightly frowned, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were closed. Embarrassed and shy.

Shao Lin looked at Xia Yi with tender eyes at that moment.

In fact, he couldn't tell when those thoughts started... Maybe it was because he persisted ignorantly and earnestly when he stayed up all night on the case time and time again; "WOOF" on the cabin door; perhaps, it was the person who took the trouble to do desensitization exercises for himself again and again, making him finally believe that no matter how many times, he would wait at the port...

Or maybe, even earlier—that foolish young man walked into his office tall and straight with a questionnaire with all Cs selected, and then jumped down from the window vigorously.

Every sunny smile, every meaningless nonsense, every warm and firm embrace.

Shao Lin hugged Ha Zai with one hand, and pushed his head into Xia Yi's shoulder socket again, feeling that his heart, which had been empty for more than ten years, was filled with a sense of solidity.Even if he will be smashed to pieces by the huge waves of life in the next second, he still wants to embrace the happiness at this moment with all his heart.

06. Dumb

The days of vacation passed quickly, and it was the last day in a blink of an eye.

Yanquan relies on the sea to eat the sea, and the main source of the city's economy is fishing. In recent years, the tourism industry has risen, several islands have been developed, and a "seaside amusement park" has also been built.The huge Ferris wheel stands by the sea, and the colorful water slides are several floors high, but the water sports are not open in winter, but the pier is very lively-recently it is a good time to go out to sea to watch whales.

Yanquan City is too small, so Shao Lin quickly took Xia Yi to play all over, and the two of them came to the park to enjoy the breeze.

At this time, all the speakers in the park inserted a missing person notice: "Xu Yunfei, please pay attention when you hear it, Xu Yunfei, please pay attention when you hear it, your parents are waiting for you under the dolphin at the entrance of the park, please Get back to the exit as soon as possible. Here again..."

The winter vacation was not over yet, the park was full of children running around, and the two of them didn't care.

However, when Shao Lin and Xia Yi went out to sea to see the whales and came back—of course they didn’t see them unfortunately—Shao ​​Lin heard the broadcast again looking for "Little Xu Yunfei"...

He couldn't help frowning: "I haven't found it yet?"

Of course, the loss of a little girl in the park has nothing to do with them, and they returned home around three o'clock.On the way back, Shao Lin specially bought some seafood. Today is the last dinner at Shao Yuan's house, and he will cook for everyone.

As soon as he got home, Shao Lin hurried away, Xia Yi was on the sidelines as an assistant who made trouble for nothing, and the two elders of the Shao family enjoyed the blessings.Before the meal was ready, Shao Haifeng kept chatting with people.When he learned of the itinerary of the two of them, he couldn't help raising his mouth, saying that another little girl was lost today, and it seemed that she was lost in the seaside park.

Shao Lin's chopping hand stopped immediately: "Again?"

Shao Haifeng is also a policeman, and for some unknown reason, he retired from criminal investigation more than ten years ago, and now he is working in the back line as a casual civilian job. He also heard these things from his colleagues in the office.Mentioning this matter, Shao Haifeng also frowned: "Yes, it seems that a few years ago, one was lost in the park."
