shadow of crime

When Jiang Bei came home, it was not too late. Jiang's mother was preparing for dinner. Seeing her son coming back, she happily went to the kitchen to serve food: "You are back, didn't you say you won't come back for dinner? Fortunately, I left some food for you , wash your hands and get ready to eat."

The dinner for two is not a big one, one meat, one vegetable and one soup, but fortunately, it is a big portion.Jiang Bei was sitting at the dining table eating rice, listening to his mother babbling, sometimes talking about interesting things that happened in the community, and sometimes talking about stray cats and dogs.No matter how cold Jiang Bei was, he would still be amused by his mother's exaggerated tone.

For a moment, Jiang Bei thought of Jiangnan, how does that person who doesn't even have an ID card live, will someone tell him jokes for dinner?

"What are you thinking?" Mother Jiang tapped her son's head with her chopsticks, "Is the food not to your liking?"

Jiang Bei came back to his senses: "No, it's better than mine."

"That is, when you were young, you only ate the dishes I cooked, and you were always picky eaters. When you grew up, you changed. You can eat junk food like instant noodles as a meal."

"Mom," Jiang Bei thought and thought, put down his chopsticks, and said seriously, "I want to take someone home."

Jiang's mother stopped nagging, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said pleasantly: "Okay, when will you bring it back? I'll tell your dad and let him come and see. What does the girl like to eat? Mom prepares it in advance. Hi , My son finally got the hang of it, I thought that the excellent genes of my old Jiang family would be wasted, but now it seems that my old Jiang family is about to spread its branches and leaves!"

Jiang's mother was so happy from ear to ear, she had already thought about the wedding venue, guests' banquet, the amount of bride price, and the names of her grandchildren.A happy old age is coming, and then I only heard Jiang Bei say "I'm not a girl", pouring cold water on her head, making Jiang's mother speechless for a long time.

Jiang Bei smacked his mouth, adding fuel to the fire, "...but she looks like a girl."

"Can it be the same?" Mother Jiang poked the bowl with her chopsticks, and seeing her son's expression, she knew it was serious.Although Jiang's mother also felt that her son married a daughter-in-law purely from the Huo Huo family, she still couldn't bear to bring a kid back suddenly.

After all, Huo Huo is not good for other people's sons!

If Jiang Bei knew what his mother was thinking at the moment, he would most likely find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"Just stay here for a while," Jiang Bei said, "I'll let him move out when he recovers, and you don't have to take care of him. I'll find a nurse."

Jiang's mother heard that Jiang Bei was determined to take him home, and he planned to find a nurse: "This house is yours, you can bring whoever you like, and don't look for a nurse. Why don't you honor your mother, is your mother more capable than the nurses outside? I don't bother to talk about you, I'm full, you wash the dishes."

Given Jiangnan's current situation, it doesn't mean that he can take it home immediately after he brings it home. It took Jiang Bei several days just to write the application and go through the formalities.During this period, he chose the main points and avoided important information to tell Jiang's mother the truth. After hearing this, Jiang's mother had mixed feelings, and finally decided to treat him well, mainly because she was afraid that Jiangnan would sue her son for intentional harm.

The guest room at home has been tidied up, still in Mother Jiang's usual style, with big flower bed sheets and big flower quilts, daily necessities have also been prepared, and all of them have been scalded with boiling water to disinfect them.Jiang Bei went to Xingfu Garden and took Jiangnan's clothes and some important items from that small room.He didn't want to stay in this room for too long, the smell of blood that hadn't dissipated made him short of breath, so he grabbed his things and ran away.

On the day of picking up Jiangnan, Jiang's mother was more excited than Jiang Bei. Before dawn, she dragged her son out of bed and insisted that Jiang Bei kill the chicken, saying that the native chicken was nutritious and the stewed soup was very nourishing.After finishing the work, he began to order his son, and turned into a stylist Tony. From shirts to pants, Mother Jiang took full control.

"Come on, put on your suit."

Jiang Bei glanced at his phone: "It's 38 degrees today, besides, I'm going to pick up someone, not a blind date."

He thinks it's good to wear casual clothes, but Jiang's mother said that to have a sense of ceremony, you have to wear formal clothes to make a good impression on the other party.Jiang Bei wanted to say: I don't want to make a good impression on Jiang Nan.

"Then... don't wear a coat." Mother Jiang made a concession, "By the way, a watch, a man must wear a watch, which one do you want to wear? Mom will get it for you. There are also shoes. You didn't show up at the scene. Wear leather shoes, I also bought shoes for Xiao Nan, if you ask him to change them later, you will be on a new path in life!"

Jiang Bei was forced to put on a high-end shirt and handmade leather shoes that he seldom wears once a year, and a Piaget watch that was left in the closet for a long time on his wrist.In Mother Jiang's words, her son can wear big underpants when he appears on the scene, but he must wear formal clothes for important things. This is the way of her old Jiang's family.

So much so that when Jiang Bei appeared in the nursing home, he almost blinded Lin An and Wang Zhipeng's dog eyes. He once thought that Jiang Bei had been hit too hard, gave up on himself, and was ready to go to sea. Digital start.

"What about him?" Jiang Bei didn't want to explain, and went straight to the point.

"In the room," Lin An rubbed his eyes, "I was sleeping just now, I should be awake now."

The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, the light was dim, and the air humidifier at the head of the bed exhaled fine white mist, curling gently.Jiang Nan was still sleeping, lying quietly on the bed, the contours from face to neck showed a kind of soft tranquility.

Jiang Bei didn't wake him up, and sat at the end of the bed, drawing Jiangnan's eyebrows with his eyes.In the past few days, Jiangnan has grown some flesh, and his complexion has improved a lot. The nurse said that since that day, Jiangnan has cooperated with the treatment, and now eats four meals a day that he would not normally eat.Everyone thinks that Jiangnan is enlightened, only Jiang Bei knows that Jiangnan wants to recover as soon as possible, and then sleep.

To this day, Jiang Bei still regrets his original decision, he shouldn't lead the little wolf home.

The wolf's paws protruded from under the thin blanket, rubbed against the back of Jiang Bei's hand, and hid his big gentle hand in the blanket, squeezing the gap between his fingers to interlock with it.

Jiang Bei regretted it for the 108th time, but he said: "Get up when you wake up, and pack your own things."

Jiang Nan didn't open his eyes, and continued to pretend to be asleep, his thick black eyelashes fluttered, as if he was smiling: "Just hold it for a while, don't move, there are people peeping outside, don't let them find out."

Outside the door, Lin An and Wang Zhipeng put their ears on the door and still couldn't hear the movement inside. From this perspective, the two people in the room didn't make any big moves.

Lin An: "I haven't figured it out until now, why did Jiang Ge take him home? Although the current situation is insufficient evidence, the brat is still suspected."

Wang Zhipeng: "Your boss said that the hospitalization fee is too expensive, and you should take it home and raise it cheaply."

"Really?" Lin An was puzzled, "I still have a question that I haven't figured out."

"what is the problem?"

"Which one of them is the attacker?" Lin An scratched his hair, "My boss looks... hey, after all, his skin is too thin, but if Brother Jiang is as shameless as Jiang Nan, he won't fall to this point."

Now Wang Zhipeng was confused: "Aren't they both male? Could it be that Jiangnan...I just said his appearance is abnormal!"

Lin An patted him on the shoulder: "Help move the things down."

Jiang Nan came empty-handed and left with food and clothes. Lin An and Wang Zhipeng made two trips before loading the pile of junk into the car.Along with the easel paints, there are stacks of comics and technical books, and a large set of assembled Lego.

Lego is not easy to take away, Lin An kicked it away.Jiang Nan was not angry. In his words, he could finish the fight in a day at most.Lin An felt the culture of Versailles, groaned twice, picked up his things and left.

There were only two people left in the room, Jiang Bei asked Jiang Nan to change his clothes.The clothes were bought by Jiang's mother. I didn't know Jiangnan's size, so I bought them according to her son's standard. The cotton T-shirt was just right, the pants were too short, and Jiangnan's ankle was still exposed.

"...That's it." Jiang Bei glanced at him and handed him the shoe box, "Try this, if it doesn't fit, wear slippers."

Jiang Nan didn't answer the call, and lay on the bed with a new domestic mobile phone. There was only one number in the address book, which belonged to Jiang Bei: "Where are other people's numbers? Am I the only friend? Oh, we are not friends."

"You have no friends." Jiang Bei said bluntly.Jiang's mother was still waiting for them to go home for dinner, and Jiang Bei would miss the meal if he let Jiang go on like this, so Jiang Bei condescended and reluctantly changed Jiang Nan's shoes.

"What about my old mobile phone? There must be other people's numbers in it." Jiang Nan stepped lightly on Jiang Bei's expensive trousers, and the exquisite fabric made him itch.

Jiang Bei put socks on him: "It's in the evidence storage room, and it can't be taken out."

"Why?" Jiangnan sat up abruptly, "Did I do something bad before?"

"Think about it yourself."

"I can't remember at the moment," Jiang Nan watched as Jiang Bei tied his sneakers, "but it's strange, I remember you, I saw you when I was a child, do you remember me?"

Jiang Bei ignored him, stood up and said, "Try taking two steps, don't force yourself if it doesn't fit you."

Jiang Nan stood up abruptly, chased after him and said, "I said I remember you."

He looked straight into Jiang Bei's eyes, engraving the panic that flashed across the other's pupils in his heart.In my memory, Jiang Bei is often like this, especially when he is close, Jiang Bei will appear in a state of confusion that does not match his appearance, such as fear or avoidance.

The distance between the two of them was so close that the tip of their noses were almost touching. Jiang Bei smelled Jiang Nan's body, which made him subconsciously take two steps back, and crumpled the cigarette case of mint popcorn cigarettes in his pocket.

"Are you... afraid of me?"

The handmade leather shoes are retreating, and the white sneakers are chasing against the toe of the opponent, pressing and tight every step of the way, just like its owner, young and arrogant.

"...It's time to go." Jiang Bei retreated to the corner, and there was no way to retreat.The smell of Jiangnan is like a quilt wrapping him up, gradually tightening it.Jiang Bei knew that the current situation was very dangerous, but he comforted himself that it was okay.

"If you are afraid, this time we can start with a hug," Jiang Nan circled Jiang Bei, the familiar body temperature reassuring him, "Don't forgive me, don't be afraid of me."

Jiang Bei was also feeling this long-lost hug. What was frightening was that he found himself accustomed to the taste and temperature of Jiangnan, and seemed to have fallen into a trap designed by the other party for 13 years.

When he touched Jiangnan's healed wound, there was no blood flowing out there, and there was no smell of blood in the room, which made the pure milk smell so precious.

He didn't particularly like the taste,

not particularly fond of...

"Please don't be an afterthought," Jiang Bei pushed him away, picked up his things, "let's go."

The arrival of Jiangnan made Jiang's mother very happy. Jiang's mother didn't expect that the boy her son brought back was so cute, with a sweet mouth, and he called each aunt very affectionately. He successfully tricked the chicken legs and wings on the table that night.Jiang Bei looked at the chicken head in his bowl and lost his appetite in an instant.

Jiang's mother has always wanted a well-behaved and sensible daughter. Although Jiang Nan has nothing to do with "clever and sensible" and "daughter", he can act.Relying on his excellent acting skills, Jiang's mother couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. Jiang's mother stopped playing mahjong and stayed at home with Jiangnan to recuperate from illness every day.

The oil painting in Jiang Bei's bedroom has also been painted, and Jiang's mother asked someone to frame it and hang it on the bedside.Every time Jiang Bei got up in the middle of the night, he panicked when he saw the red eyes.He had made a suggestion to hang the painting in the living room, but Mother Jiang said it was a gift from Jiangnan, so even if he was scared to death, he could only hang it on the bedside!He also said that Jiangnan is so obedient and cannot break his heart.Jiang Bei was speechless for a moment, and really wanted to tell his mother that the well-behaved man thought the room you prepared was too small, and the bed wasn't big enough, or soft enough, so every night when you fell asleep, he went to your son's room to snatch the bed.

Can Jiang Bei speak?No, I can only change my shoes silently and go to work.Before leaving, Jiang Nan thoughtfully brought him a cup of hot milk, and said that it was sweetened with sugar and it was not bad to drink.Jiang Bei didn't want to drink, so Jiang's mother stared at him, as if saying: "Drink quickly, don't hurt others' hearts, don't be ignorant of good and bad."Jiang Bei felt that his mother would never be able to return to our camp, so he was forced to take the milk and drink it up, but he caught a glimpse of Jiang Nan's smug smile from the rim of the cup.

"........."

The prosecutor of the burglary serial murder case thought the evidence was insufficient, and returned it to the public security for additional investigation. For this reason, the Municipal Bureau set up a special team to take full responsibility for the matter, and Jiang Bei recommended himself as the team leader.

His state of mind is very peaceful. If Jiang Nan is still proven to be the murderer in the end, then he will personally send that child in, and Jiang Nan deserves death, punishment or death.If not, he will tell Jiang Nan to move out, and don't stay in his house to confuse people.

Several previous crime scenes needed to be re-examined. When Jiang Bei arrived, Wang Zhipeng was organizing people to dig out the bathroom sewer.Surveillance is useless in criminal cases involving identical twins. The most important thing is to find DNA or fingerprints.

Jiang Bei put on his gloves and said, "Extend the scope of the investigation, and don't miss the corridors outside. Check the tile gaps in the kitchen and bathroom, and the drain pipes. The suspect will clean himself up after killing someone. Hair or epithelial tissue remains, be more careful."

Wang Zhipeng's old cold legs couldn't bear it and he kept squatting, screaming and getting up: "I can't do it, what's the matter? Why are they twins? They still look the same. If one is dead, we can only suspect the other .The little brat in Jiangnan is mentally retarded again, and the defendant can’t even make out his statements.

Jiang Bei didn't answer, took the tools from Wang Zhipeng, and lay down on the ground to dig out the sewer.

Wang Zhipeng beat his waist and went to the window to breathe.The floor here is not high, and he saw Jiangnan sitting downstairs in the unit at a glance: "Heh, he is said to be mentally retarded. Old Jiang, did you bring him? He can't come here."

Jiang Bei's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked over, Jiang Nan was smiling at him from downstairs: "I didn't bring him here, he must have come with me."

"Congratulations, I would like to mention a piece of brown sugar." Wang Zhipeng grabbed the tool, "Hurry up and send him away, I won't stick to you."

The summer is scorching hot, and the cicadas are singing loudly. During this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, the fair skin also flushed red, and the sweat wetted the hair on the forehead, sticking sticky to the smooth forehead.When Jiang Bei went downstairs, he saw Jiang Nan standing under the shade of a tree, the sun shone through layers of leaves and shone on his body, as if he wanted to crush Jiang Nan into pieces in the bright sun.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Bei took him to the canteen to buy water, "You can't come here."

"Why?" Jiang Nan took an ice cream, "I can help you, I helped find that nurse last time, trust me."

"I can't come anyway."

Jiang Nan squinted at Jiang Bei and didn't ask much.He had long since discovered that his freedom had been restricted, and he could not go to many places. Last time he planned to go to the beach with Jiang Bei, but Jiang Bei refused on the grounds that he could not leave the province. "Okay, I'm here to give you a mobile phone. You must be stupid because you drank milk, and you forgot to take your mobile phone from the porch."

He stuffed the phone to Jiang Bei, and wiped the ice cream on his fingers: "I'm going back, goodbye."

Jiang Bei struggled for several times, and finally asked: "Do you know how to get back?"

"It's because I don't remember, I'm not trying to lower my intelligence," Jiang Nan smiled, "Come back early at night, you can't let me stay alone in an empty room just because I'm a proletarian now."

"..."

However, Jiang Bei didn't go back earlier. After the re-examination, he returned to the bureau for a meeting. The deputy bureau was holding a big teapot and talking about things slowly. He said important things three times, and nothing was unimportant. At night.Jiang Bei listened, and when he heard it, his mind was full of "keeping the empty room alone".

It was already midnight when I got home, and I left a small night light in the living room to keep it from getting dark.Jiang Bei went to the cloakroom to get a change of clothes, washed hastily and walked into the bedroom, only to find that most of his bed was occupied by someone.

"You're back." Jiang Nan was a light sleeper, and a little movement could wake him up. He spread his arms on the bed, and said softly, "It's time for us to hug."

Jiang Bei didn't move: "Can't you go back to your room and sleep?"

"I have to be responsible for you, don't I?" Jiang Nan got up and hugged Jiang Bei, and he could trip Jiang Bei with a single movement, and lead him into the soft big bed. Refuse nothing."

Trapped in his arms, Jiang Bei couldn't explain the problem at all due to his hot ears and rising body temperature.He hastily turned his face away, exposing the teeth marks on his neck.

Jiang Nan thought he was bad before, so he was willing to slap Jiang Bei heavily.He dropped a kiss there, and his superficial movements could shock the person in his arms: "Don't be afraid. Can you wait for me? When I remember everything, I will... I mean, we will better one."

The lights in the room were not turned on, and Jiang Bei saw Jiang Nan's eyes clearly through the light from the window.The moonlight and the starry sky slept in those eyes, carrying a charming dream, which melted away his 13 years of uneasiness and guilt.

He smelled the smell of Jiangnan, and acquiesced that it blew past his ears and slipped into his collar.

In fact, he had already thrown away a drawer of menthol popper cigarettes.

In fact, he really wanted to see the child, from the past to the present.

Jiang Bei lifted his head buried in his neck, and said stubbornly to Jiang Nan:

"Good night, kid."
