The sun shines on the face through the gaps in the curtains, waking up the light sleepers.Luo Jianan frowned and reached out to touch the phone, his eyes opened slits reluctantly, and his confused mind suddenly woke up after realizing the 58:[-] displayed on the screen——

"Qi Ming! Hurry up—"

The side is empty.

Rolling and crawling downstairs, Luo Jianan ran into the bathroom and rushed to Qi Ming, who was sitting at the computer desk in the sunshine room, drinking coffee leisurely, and complained, "Why didn't you call me?"

It's rare to rest on weekends, so I have to go home and do my filial piety in front of my parents.Although Liu Minjiao often said, "You can walk in after eating and lifting your buttocks", but Luo Jianan knew very well that a mother would still like to spend more time with her children, even for 5 minutes longer.

"You only came in at four o'clock in the morning, and you were thinking of calling you at ten o'clock." Qi Ming raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Clean up quickly, and we'll be there before eleven o'clock."

"Hey, if you don't torment me, two hours of sleep is enough for me."

Hearing Luo Jianan's shameless words amidst the sound of water, Qi Ming put down the mug with the pumpkin pattern on it, got up and walked to the bathroom, and calmly threatened, "Luo Pumpkin, if you don't close the door when you enter the bathroom, I guarantee you will be in the bathroom." In my dream, I received spermatic cord ligation."

After speaking, he yanked the door of the bathroom vigorously, and with a "bang", Luo Jianan's shoulders shrank from the shock, and drops of water all over his body rolled down like cold sweat.There's no way to do it. A few hours ago, she was still tender and tender, but she turned her face and refused to recognize anyone when she got out of bed.What's wrong with those two crooked sentences?There was no one else in front of me, so I didn't understand why there was anything to be shy about.

After packing up in a hurry and going out, it was still five minutes to eleven when I got home downstairs.Just as Luo Jianan was about to raise his hand to press the elevator, he was suddenly stopped by Qi Ming: "We didn't bring anything, so is it appropriate to just walk in empty-handed?"

"Hey, what's wrong with that, you don't know my mom, she's the happiest when you eat it." While talking, Luo Jianan still took out his mobile phone and called his mother to ask if there was anything she needed to bring with her. no.If you don't buy those useless things, the old couple won't be able to eat much at home. Last time, I brought a box of blueberries, put them out of storage, and asked my mother to make blueberry jam and send them back.

After her son's call, Liu Minjiao asked to bring a bottle of white vinegar for cold salad.Don't dare to send Luo Weidong to buy it, the old guy can buy it in a vinegar factory - when you go to a supermarket, your eyes are wider than the security guards, it's like a day has passed if you don't catch a thief.For so many years, Qi Ming and Luo Jianan can at least go home twenty or thirty times, but the number of times they eat at the table with Luo Weidong can be counted with a slap.The food here is almost getting cold, and the old man is still taking statements at the police station.With Luo Weidong around, the nearby convenience store owners even saved money on installing surveillance cameras.

After buying the vinegar and going upstairs, Luo Jianan was stunned when he entered the door—a chubby five or six-year-old boy was holding a plastic toy gun at him and "slapping" him.Seeing the little bastard shouting triumphantly, "I killed the gangster!", he had the heart to take out his gun and let the other party see who the hell is the embodiment of justice.

A woman in her fifties came out of the living room, she pulled the boy to her side, and said with a big smile, "Yo, Jia Nan is back, you are such a busy person, it is not easy to see you."

"Aunt Ding? Long time no see, long time no see." Luo Jianan quickly smiled.This is Liu Minjiao's old sister Ding Wanqi, who used to work in the same unit. The last time Luo Jianan saw her was the day of her son's wedding. She didn't want to go, but was dragged by her mother.

"Your grandson is already this old?"

"Hey, it's Pi's time, come on, happy, call uncle."

He didn't make anyone happy, but stuck out his tongue at Luo Jianan, and made a grimace with the bridge of his nose raised.

"This child," Ding Wanqi reprimanded falsely, "is neither big nor young."

Luo Jianan smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, Aunt Ding, children, teach me slowly... Oh yes, let me introduce you, I—"

"I'm his colleague, Qi Ming, hello, Auntie." Qi Ming nodded politely, and cut off Luo Jianan's conversation.

Ding Wanqi squinted her eyes and smiled, and praised: "Oh, Jia Nan, are all the boys in your bureau so energetic?"

"Hey, don't worry about it, let's pray that the teacher gets married." Luo Jianan knew what she wanted to say next, nothing else, just get together with the fucking old ladies, the number one topic will always be for the seventh eldest aunt The children of the aunt's family introduce the object.

Oh, it might be changed to Soo grandchildren now.

——Oh, I was unfilial and didn't let my mother hug her grandson.

Luo Jianan was thinking about it, when his eyes fell on Gao Xing, he suddenly realized something - his mother did it on purpose, knowing that he and Qi Ming came back, and asked the elder sisters to bring their grandson over to show off, so as to stimulate them to hold the baby.But from rushing into the door to the other party's performance now, it's really such a little bastard, one beating a day is not enough, and it's a negative teaching material for persuading children to retire.

"Jia Nan, go into the house and talk, don't poke at the door." Luo Weidong also came out of the living room, and saw that his son was holding a bottle of vinegar in his hand, his brows were slightly frowned--you son, I don't know how to bring a bottle for your father when I come back. What do wine and vinegar mean?Damn it's still playing less.

After greeting Luo Weidong, Qi Ming brought white vinegar into the kitchen to help Liu Minjiao.His parents are gone, and his adoptive fathers are gone. Liu Minjiao and Luo Weidong are the only elders he can be filial to.Moreover, the old couple are really kind to him, they are as painful as their own sons, no matter what they buy for Luo Jianan, he has a share, they usually send greetings on WeChat, and give out red envelopes during the holidays.

As soon as Luo Jianan's butt touched the sofa, he looked happy and "huh" rushed to his eyes, held up a toy gun and asked, "Be honest! Where did you hide the stolen goods!"

"Happy, Uncle is a real policeman." Ding Wanqi smiled awkwardly, and apologized to Luo Jianan: "I'm sorry, Jia Nan, this kid has been spoiled by our boss, and he doesn't know how to be polite when he goes out."

"It's okay, it's okay." Luo Jianan forced a smile.

"Are you a policeman?" Gao Xing looked at Luo Jianan in disbelief, his brows slightly frowned, "You look like a bad guy, with a fierce look on your face."

Luo Jianan snorted coldly, regardless of whether the child understood or not: "Let me tell you, you can't catch bad guys with a kind face."

Gao Xing rolled his eyes: "Then do you have a gun?"

"Yes, I have."

"Take it out and see."

"..."

Just as he was about to stretch his hand into his arms, Luo Jianan saw Luo Weidong wink at him, and put his hand down again: "I didn't bring it, there are rules, you can't take the gun out of the unit casually."

"Hmph, what kind of policeman are you without a gun?"

Gao Xing complained, then turned and ran to the kitchen.Luo Jianan held back his eyes, and said to himself that it's a good thing he didn't hug him, if he really raised such a bastard, I wouldn't—

"Hey! Happy!"

Hearing Liu Minjiao's exclamation, Luo Jianan rushed out of the living room and shouted loudly, "What's wrong, Mom? Did you burn the child?"

"No, no, it's..." Liu Minjiao frowned, "Hey, happy, don't stay here, this is a knife and a fire, it's dangerous, go, go play in the house."

Luo Jianan saw that Qi Ming's expression was a bit wrong, and when he was happy, Ding Wanqi took him back to the living room, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to that child?"

Qi Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "He suddenly pulled my hair from behind. I was serving hot soup for my mother, and I almost kicked him all over."

Luo Jianan's eyes widened when he heard this—hey!Little bastard!I dare not pull my daughter-in-law's braids!

However, the matter is not over. I don’t know whether it’s because of Qi Ming’s fresh ponytail or simply owed. During the meal, he was happy and sneaked behind Qi Ming’s back and grabbed the other’s ponytail violently, killing the braised hairtail caught on his chopsticks. "Paji" patted the collar of the white shirt, leaving a bright oil stain.If it weren't for Ding Wanqi and Liu Minjiao's decades of friendship, Luo Jianan would have rolled up his sleeves on the spot.

Ding Wanqi hurriedly made an apology, turned her head and said that she was happy and unruly, and asked him to apologize to Qi Ming.But Gao Xing refused to apologize, simply ignoring how much her behavior made grandma lose face.Liu Minjiao and Luo Weidong kept making peace with each other, saying that the child is still young and it's normal to be naughty.

Qi Ming stared happily for a while with his chin raised as if he had nothing to do with him, then got up and said seriously: "Come on, uncle, I have a few words with you."

Luo Jianan hurriedly tugged Qi Ming's pants under the table, signaling him not to worry too much.If your own children are easy to talk about, at worst, they will have a long memory in the room.

He had never met a stranger who made trouble in front of his parents, so he was a little timid when he was happy, and shrank behind his grandma.Such a child has almost no sense of right and wrong. As long as there are parents as the backing, he will definitely dare to live in the sun. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.But once out of the sight of the parents, that weak and innocent look immediately appeared.

"I won't hit you," Qi Ming raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the living room, "just go over there and say a few words."

Both Liu Minjiao and Luo Weidong looked embarrassed.Ding Wanqi pushed the child forward: "Go, go with uncle, don't listen to me, see, come out and someone will educate you."

Seeing that grandma didn't protect her anymore, she pursed her mouth in joy, with a face full of tears.Qi Ming didn't care whether he cried or not, he took his hand and led him into the living room.Pushing open the sliding door of the balcony, he took joy in, then closed the door, squatted down, kept his eyes at the same level with the other party, and said calmly: "I know your little head can't fit the world of adults, but you can understand What I said, right?"

Happily nodding with red eyes.

"Did you do something wrong?" Qi Ming pointed to the stain on the neckline.

Happily nodding again, a drop of tears fell out.

Qi Ming demanded: "Speak and express your apology in words."

Happily, she didn't speak, she looked down at the tiles on the ground, and she burst into tears.Although Qi Ming has never raised a child himself, he has read many papers on child psychology and is convinced that happiness is testing his bottom line, which is also called emotional confrontation.Children know that tears are most effective for adults, and many problems disappear by the end of crying.

At this time, the fight is patience, whoever surrenders first will lose.For their own children, many parents can't be hard-hearted and watch the other party cry all the time.However, Gao Xing didn't know that what he was facing was an adult who faced corpses every day. In terms of hard-heartedness, the whole room combined could not compare with Qi Ming.

After crying for 3 minutes, he couldn't cry anymore. He secretly glanced at Qi Ming, seeing that the other party still had a firm expression of unmoved, he opened his mouth: "...Yes...I'm sorry..."

"Okay, I forgive you." Qi Ming accepted calmly, "Now, tell me, why are you pulling my hair?"

"...the teacher said... girls only... braid their hair..."

"The teacher is wrong. Anyone has the right to assert their own appearance, provided that it will not hurt others." Qi Ming said, pulling off the rubber band to spread out the ponytail, brushing up the hair on the side, and turning his head, "I will stay The long hair is to cover this scar, have you seen it?"

Happy crying red eyes wide open, staring at without blinking.Even a child knows how painful an injury is. Such a long scar must have been very painful at the time.Shocked, he asked curiously, "You...how...did it?"

While tying up the ponytail again, Qi Ming explained: "The bad guys cut it with a knife."

Gao Xing's chubby body trembled: "Then... it hurts, right?"

"Yes, it hurts, but I didn't shed tears, because for the bad guy, the weaker I am, the happier he is." Qi Ming wiped the tears on the child's face, and calmed down, "You are a boy, you can't Shed tears easily, no matter outside or at home, if you make a mistake, you have to bear it, understand?"

Nodding half understanding, he sniffed his nose happily and asked, "Then... Uncle, have you caught the villain who hurt you?"

This made Qi Ming startled, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled gently at the other party.

"It will be caught, for sure."



"What curse did you put on that brat?"

At the dinner table, Luo Jianan was curious, and after talking with Qi Ming, he seemed happy as if he had changed. He ate the meal honestly, stopped jumping up and down after eating, and sat obediently in the living room watching cartoons.He wondered, would Qi Ming tell the child something he shouldn't?Scared the kids?

Withdrawing his gaze from the car window, Qi Ming replied calmly: "What else can I say, let's make sense."

"A child of this age can still understand the truth?"

"It has nothing to do with age. You are over 30, so there are times when you can't make sense?"

"Didn't you get me involved again? When did I—" While talking, the phone came in, Luo Jianan answered "Hello" and frowned: "Ah? Send me the location, I'm with Qi Ming , this will pass."

Then he threw the phone to Qi Ming: "There is a case, Yuan Qiao sends a WeChat location, you adjust the navigation."

"Fortunately, it came out, or else mom would have to—" Qi Ming was slightly startled after clicking on the positioning point, and his fingertips hovered over the positioning point.

Immediately at the intersection, Luo Jianan didn't know whether to go straight or turn left and right, so he couldn't help but get anxious: "Have you adjusted yet?"

"...No need to adjust, I know this place." Qi Ming exhaled quietly, "It's in the monastery I went to clean up after returning to China."

ah?Luo Jianan was taken aback when he heard this, thinking that a monk must have died, right?

After driving for almost two hours to reach the place, Luo Jianan got off the car and looked up at the more than 500 stone steps he had climbed, and swallowed dryly - no wonder Fade Chen didn't come.The police can't pick anything to pick the location of the crime scene, no way, just climb.Panting and crawling to the end, he saw Gao Ren and Huang Zhiwei kneeling at the gate of the temple panting, each with an inspection box at hand.He carried the inspection box, and it weighed less than twenty catties. It seemed that the two technicians were exhausted.

Going forward to pull Gao Ren up from the ground, Qi Ming picked up the inspection box and asked, "Where's Xia Yonghui? Haven't arrived yet?"

Gao Ren gasped for the smell of blood, and pointed to the back of the temple with shaking fingers: "It's...it's passed...it's passed..."

They were talking here, Luo Jianan walked along the temple wall to the back hillside.The police from the Guanpian police station informed that the scene was not in the temple, but on the hillside behind the temple.In the early hours of the morning, we received an alarm about the mountain fire, and the armed firefighters fought all morning to put it out. Fortunately, the area was not large and did not affect the temple.The major crimes unit was notified because a burnt skull was found in a pit at the center of the fire.

The police also said that this area was once a geomantic land where nearby residents were buried. After hearing this, Luo Jianan felt that the corpses in the shallow graves might have been burned.The specific result has to be judged by a medical doctor whether it is an abnormal death, but only a few bones are left after burning, so the difficulty is really not ordinary.

Stepping on the charcoal-blackened soil and walking to the edge of the shallow pit, Luo Jianan greeted, "Hey, Xiao Xia, did you find anything?"

"Now I have found half of the skull, two metacarpal bones, and some pieces of meat that have not been completely burned." Squatting in the pit, Xia Yonghui raised his head and frowned at him, "We still have to sift the soil a little bit to see if there are any bone fragments in the soil." .”

Sieve?Luo Jianan covered her mouth gloatingly—the sieve is not a standard equipment in the inspection box, it seems that Gao Ren has to go down to get it.
