quarter quotient

As the saying goes, if you can't wake up in the first 30 years, you can't sleep in the next 30 years.When the distant mountains and the sky began to turn slightly gray, the elderly in the nursing home began to wake up one after another.

Outside the window, there were figures swaying slowly, soft footsteps, the sound of crutches touching the ground, mixed with all kinds of sounds produced by the old people's strange morning exercises.It was noisy, but it didn't make people irritated and disgusted.

Ji Shang woke up and opened a corner of the curtain.

Several elders in the courtyard strode forward and shook off their arms, humming and haha, greeting their chests and backs.Several aunts bowed and hung their arms trembling like electric shocks, chanting words with each breath.Those who are a little older will stand by the edge of the yard and breathe quietly, or play a set of Wuqinxi slowly, and perform the action of a big roc spreading its wings, and compare who can last longer.

Ding Hengyuan sat by the bed and looked at Ji Shang.Seeing the gentle white light in the morning gave his messy hair a layer of soft light, watching the ordinary morning exercises of the old people in the courtyard made him laugh, and seeing him turn around and see himself, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Xiao Jiu, I'm leaving." Ding Hengyuan subdued his disappointment under his skin, still maintaining such a gentle and refined attitude.

"Ah?" Ji Shang Youyou suddenly grabbed the turned off mobile phone, put it down again in a daze, and looked back at the pale sky, "Is the road passable? It's not bright yet, what time is it?"

"The dean said that the road has been cleared and can be opened to traffic. But the circuit has not been restored, and the signal tower is also under repair." Ding Hengyuan stood up as he said, in order to restrain the urge to squeeze Ji Shang's fluffy hair, he Holding the luggage bag by the bed in his hand, he raised his other hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, "A quarter past six, but I have an operation at one o'clock in the afternoon, so I have to go now, otherwise it will be too late."

"I'll see you off." Ji Shang straightened his hair and clothes, and went out with Ding Hengyuan.

Ding Hengyuan pushed Ding Shaodong towards the parking lot, Ji Shang stood beside the car and waited for him.The old and the young will never go back to those days.Ding Shaodong took a broom and half-truthfully chased Ding Hengyuan all over the yard just for the missing ring of hair on the big rooster's neck, but the broom never really fell on Ding Hengyuan.

Ji Shang remembered what Ding Hengyuan had said to him just before he left the house: "My father was not very talkative, and after my mother passed away, he was even less talkative. When I met you suddenly yesterday, I may have remembered the past, and I didn't slow down for a while. ,hope you do not mind."

The past events, of course, refer to Ding Sixin's death, which is inevitable, and Ji Shang will also think of it when he sees Ding Shaodong.Therefore, no matter what the reason was for Ding Shaodong's silent and indifferent attitude yesterday, Ji Shang could understand it.

Ding Hengyuan carried his father into the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt.Ji Shang folded the wheelchair, and Ding Hengyuan reached out to carry it: "Let me do it."

Ji Shang said: "I folded everything, let me put it away, you get in the car."

"It's heavy! You can't use too much force with your hands. After realizing that you are a weak person, can you do it?" The smile on Ding Hengyuan's face has a profound meaning.

When they first met, after the big cock escaped from the claws of the two.Ding Hengyuan rode his father's motorcycle to take Jishang to the farmer's market in the town, where he killed a big rooster that weighed seven or eight catties and returned.Ji Shang thought it was too heavy and didn't want to carry it, so Ding Hengyuan hung it on the front of the car.From then on, Ding Hengyuan seized the opportunity to laugh at Ji Shang's 'powerlessness'.

There was something bright and happy in that past, Ji Shang laughed out a sneer, and finally felt a little relieved: "I'm lazy, you really think I'm powerless!"

Ji Shang clung to the wheelchair, and Ding Hengyuan also clung to it. The two were looking at each other politely and happily, and suddenly they both felt that the weight in their hands had suddenly dropped, a lot lighter.

A man who appeared from nowhere knew when and took the wheelchair from the hands of the two with a cold face. He turned his head to look at Ding Hengyuan and said, "You're very polite. Then let me come?"

"Where? The trunk?"

With a cold face, Yin Hao bypassed Ji Shang and walked towards the trunk.Holding the wheelchair with one hand, he was looking for the switch button under the mud-spattered trunk with the other.He groped for a moment, and found a round protrusion in the middle.

Just about to press it down, Ding Hengyuan said: "Excuse me, put it in the back seat, there are too many things in the trunk, I can't put it down."

Ji Shang was very close to the back seat, so he quickly opened the car door.Yin Hao glanced at him just now, and this glance could only be regarded as a hasty glance without showing emotion, but Ji Shang felt that the man's pressure was a little low, and he seemed dissatisfied with himself.

After closing the car door, Ji Shang could no longer suppress his curiosity, and asked Yin Hao, "Why are you here?"

"Investigate the case." Yin Hao was simple and direct.

"Investigate?" Ding Hengyuan asked, "Is this the police?"

Ji Shang hurriedly said, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce you."

"This is the police officer of the criminal investigation team, Yin Hao."

"This is Dr. Ding Hengyuan from the Second City Hospital."

Yin Hao and Ding Hengyuan glanced at each other, and held each other's hands politely.

Ding Hengyuan smiled, and suddenly realized: "I seem to have seen Police Officer Yin in the news, he is really young and promising."

Yin Hao said with a serious smile: "It's not just in the news, we've met twice."

Ding Hengyuan hesitated: "Twice?"

"Once at the hospital, once at night." Yin Hao twitched the corners of his mouth, "But Dr. Ding may not have noticed me."

Ji Shang's eyes fell on the hands of the two who had been sticking together, and there was a trace of indescribable embarrassment in the weird scene.

Ding Shaodong coughed twice in the car, and Ding Hengyuan regained his senses and let go of his hand.

Ding Shaodong said: "Hengyuan, it's time to go, don't delay the operation time."

Ding Hengyuan said to Ji Shang and Yin Hao: "Then I'll take a step first. Xiaojiu, when the power comes on, charge your phone first, so I can tell you the road conditions. If you are not in a hurry, you can go down the mountain later, safety first."

Ji Shang said: "Okay, drive slowly and pay attention to safety."

Ding Hengyuan looked away from Ji Shang's face, and was about to open the door, Yin Hao stopped him and asked, "By the way, what time did Dr. Ding arrive at Changping Nursing Home yesterday?"

"It will just start to rain." Ding Hengyuan looked at Ji Shang thoughtfully, "Probably..."

Ji Shang affirmed: "01:30 noon."

Ding Hengyuan echoed: "Yes, I remember that the noon news on the car just ended, it was indeed 01:30. Did something happen? Officer Yin."

Ji Shang also looked at Yin Hao with a questioning expression.

"A mother and daughter disappeared after leaving the Changping Nursing Home at noon yesterday." Yin Hao said again, "However, the time you arrived at the Nursing Home does not overlap with their timeline. It seems that you can leave, Dr. Ding."

Ding Hengyuan was stunned for a moment. He received an implication from Yin Hao that the idlers were waiting to drive away quickly, so he had no choice but to respond, "If there is still a need, Xiao Jiu can contact me."

After speaking, Ding Hengyuan opened the door and sat in the car.

In the co-pilot, wearing a mask, he kept his eyes on Ding Shaodong, who was on the mountain road ahead, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Shang: "Xiao Jiu, come here."

"Uncle Ding." Ji Shang walked out of the car window as he said.

"Xiao Jiu..." Ding Shaodong stretched out his hand out of the window tremblingly, Ji Shang quickly reached out and was grabbed by Ding Shaodong.

Ding Shaodong's voice was low and hoarse, as if the pain in all directions came to the bottom of his tongue: "Hey, Uncle Ding, what I said in anger before, can I ask you to forget it with a shy face?"

"Uncle Ding..."

Ding Shaodong continued: "It's Uncle Ding's fault. Uncle Ding was wrong. You will see Heng Yuan more often in the future. I was wrong. I shouldn't blame you like that. It's Uncle Ding's fault. Cough...cough cough..."

Ding Shaodong became excited again as he spoke, and he withdrew his hand to cover his mouth and coughed continuously.

"Dad, don't talk about it." Ding Hengyuan frowned, but he never went to see Ji Shang, and only gently and slowly stroked his father's back.

"Uncle Ding, it's been so long, I've forgotten it a long time ago. You should forget too." After Ji Shang finished speaking, he looked at Ding Hengyuan and said, "Brother Hengyuan, drive carefully."

Ji Shang watched Ding Hengyuan leave until the vehicle disappeared at the end of the winding mountain road.But Yin Hao's gaze remained unscrupulously on Ji Shang's face, carefully observing his every expression.

Ji Shang turned his head and met Yin Hao's staring eyes, but he still asked him calmly, "Are the missing mother and daughter Kuang Jie and Yi Xiangxue?"

Yin Hao no longer doubted Ji Shang's insight, no matter what, this man always deduced the correct answer through one point.

After withdrawing his consciousness, Yin Hao nodded.Opening his mouth, he only asked what was in his heart: "You and Dr. Ding knew each other a long time ago?"

Ji Shang nodded in agreement.

"How early?" Yin Hao asked, "Graduate period? Undergraduate period? Or earlier?"

Ji Shang glanced at him: "Why are you asking so much? Are you here to investigate the case? Or are you here to investigate me?"

Yin Hao sneered and said, "Forget it."

Ji Shang just smiled and walked towards the courtyard.As soon as I entered the door, I realized that the small stool had also come.The students and little mud stuck in the nursing home got up, and several people gathered in the corridor outside the hospital.

Xiang Chao and Deng Deng were talking in the side pavilion.Xiang Chao looked anxious and restless, thinking that he had already learned about the disappearance of his sister-in-law and niece from Deng Deng.

"This time when I came to the nursing home, my sister-in-law didn't want to come, but she insisted on coming because of Xiaoxue's quarrel, but my sister-in-law couldn't persuade her, so she came together. When we were all preparing lunch, it was around eleven o'clock, and it was close to twelve o'clock. The sister-in-law took Xiaoxue and left together. Are you sure they are missing? My sister-in-law used to go out with friends and often did not come home."

In this disappearance case, although Yi Xiangxue is a child under the age of ten and is not subject to the 24-hour time limit for filing a case, the problem is that she is not alone, and her mother, Kuang Jie, has been with her all the time.

Therefore, in principle, the police can not file the case for the time being, but it is said that the family members of the suspected missing mother and daughter have entrusted connections within the police station, and this matter has been transferred to the city bureau. He and Dundon were assigned to assist in the investigation.

Deng Deng ignored Xiang Chao's question and continued to ask, "When Kuang Jie left, did she say where she was going next?"

Xiang Chao shook his head: "I sent them to the gate of the nursing home. My sister-in-law said she was a little uncomfortable and left me the car keys. Then she took Xiaoxue to the platform in front and said that she had called an online car-hailing car. I guessed that since she I'm not feeling well, I think I'm planning to go home, so I didn't ask any more questions. Besides, I can't even ask."

Deng Deng said: "She took a little girl with her, you should send it to the platform anyway, watch people get on the bus, and write down the license plate number."

"That's what I planned too, but she won't let me follow, and I can't help it."

Ji Shang and Yin Hao arrived at the gazebo in the courtyard.

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Ji Shang could see that Xiang Chao was very cautious in speaking and doing things in front of his sister-in-law. Kuang Jie didn't show mercy to him in front of outsiders, and she must have given him a lot of cold eyes behind her back.So it was reasonable for Xiang Chao not to dare to refute his sister-in-law.

Deng Deng said again: "When you called home at six o'clock last night, you found that your sister-in-law and niece hadn't arrived. Why didn't you worry at all?"

"I just said that my sister-in-law used to go out often, and it happened that she didn't come back all night. Besides, she never explained to her parents, let alone me, except telling my brother where she went. "

Yin Hao walked up to Deng Deng, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled to him the next question.

Yin Hao said, "Why is your phone turned off?"

Xiang Chao glanced at Ji Shang: "Boss Ji went to open the door for his friend. It was raining at the time. I saw that he didn't bring an umbrella, so I took an umbrella and followed him. I was so busy walking that I forgot that my phone was still in my pocket, so I got caught in the rain." Wet. When I came back, I helped everyone lift the wheelchair, and the phone fell again, and it still can’t be turned on.”

Yin Hao looked at Ji Shang, and Ji Shang nodded.

"Since you can call home by phone, why don't you call your sister-in-law and niece after this to make sure they are safe?"

"Later I borrowed it from the male classmate in the same room, but he ran out of battery while playing games." Xiang Chao pointed to a male classmate in the corridor, and then looked at Ji Shangdao, "At that time, there was a power outage in the courtyard and everyone was asleep. It's inconvenient to disturb the female classmate. I wanted to try to borrow the phone from Boss Ji, but I didn't go because I was afraid of disturbing his and Dr. Ding's rest."

Ji Shang thought that this child was quite thoughtful and he was not easy to cause trouble, so he smiled and said: "You forgot, my mobile phone is dead. I just plugged in the charger and the whole nursing home was powered off. I I thought it was short-circuited by myself."

Reminded by Ji Shang, Xiang Chao's thoughts were diverted when he thought of the coincidental scene when the power went out last night, and his face relaxed a little.

Ji Shang smiled, subconsciously found Yin Hao, but saw that the other party was frowning and staring at him gloomyly.

Ji Shang raised his eyebrows, mouthed and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yin Hao took another look at him, and then looked away.He continued to look at Xiang Chao and said, "Give me your mobile phone."

Xiang Chao was puzzled, "Why?"

"Routine investigation, it will be returned to you after the inspection. Colleagues from our technical team can also help you repair it for free."

"You suspect me?" Xiang Chao originally thought that the police came to Xiping Mountain to find clues, but at this time the other party wanted to take his mobile phone away, and he just came back to his senses.Can't help but anxiously said, "After they left, I didn't even go out the gate of the nursing home. The heavy rain ruined the way down the mountain, and everyone was trapped here. Why do you doubt me?"

Xiang Chao was very angry, as if he had received a great injustice, his cheeks slowly congested and turned red.Yin Hao still looked at him calmly, discerning the subtle expressions on his face that were difficult to distinguish between true and false.For a while, no one spoke.

After a while, Deng Deng began to sing bad faces: "Student, don't get excited, we are just doing investigation work. The last person Kuang Jie and Yi Xiangxue saw was you. You are the person who may have the most information so far. We Of course, we have to start the investigation from you. Besides, your phone broke, but Kuang Jie may have sent you a message during this period, we can't let go of any possibility, right?"

Xiang Chao was silent for a moment, his undulating breathing gradually stabilized.He shook his head helplessly, took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Dunden, and said in a low voice, "All of you are the same."

"What did you say?" Deng Deng didn't hear Xiang Chao's words clearly, and asked casually while reaching for the phone.

Xiang Chao didn't answer, but Yin Hao said, "Wait a minute."

"what happened?"

Yin Hao looked down at his phone.

"Team Cao has received news. The family members said that the missing mother and daughter have returned home safely. The case has been dropped."
