never forget [criminal investigation]

On a Saturday morning, an arm stretched out from under the bed, pressed the alarm clock, and quickly retracted.

The days before the start of the heating season are always extremely difficult, and with the addition of an autumn rain, the temperature in the room has dropped below the limit of endurance.He opened his eyes, and soon even the eyeballs were cold.

Xiang Hai gave himself a 5-second buffer, and when the countdown ended, he gritted his teeth, and with tenacious will, got out of bed.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck."

Even though he put on his clothes at the speed of light, goose bumps appeared on his arms.

After getting dressed, he took a deep breath, lay down on the ground and did 20 push-ups in one breath.Standing up again, I felt warm all over.

Xing Yue was still asleep, motionless.

He leaned over, put his palm on his forehead, felt that the temperature was normal, and then quietly left the bedroom and closed the door.

Today is September 25th, the day I went to see Xing Yiqing with Xing Yue.

He yawned, went to wash up, and started preparing breakfast.

When he got home last night, he took off his cold and wet clothes. He couldn't wait to take a hot shower, and got into bed directly after he came out.

Originally, he wanted to read the book and wait for Xing Yue to come back, but before he finished turning a page, the book fell to the ground.

I don't know how long he slept until he felt someone laying him flat with his head resting on the pillow, then he turned over half asleep and hugged the person, "Brother...you are back..."

With the lights turned off, the room was pitch black, there was no moonlight outside the window, only the sound of rain.

The man didn't speak, and he didn't open his eyes, just relying on the familiar breath between each other.

When Xing Yue lay down beside him, he also fell asleep again.But soon woke up again.

"What are you doing..." He shrank his legs and muttered dissatisfiedly.

His warm blanket was lifted, and Xing Yue got in, releasing the temperature and bringing a burst of coolness.

Xing Yue still didn't say a word, just clinging to him and rubbing back and forth.Feeling that it was not enough, he wrapped his hands and feet on the ground again.

Xiang Hai kept his eyes closed, and gradually frowned, "Tsk, don't make trouble..."

But Xing Yue was still making trouble, acting like a baby, and continued to pester her.Through the clothes, the whole body is cold.

Xiang Hai felt that something was wrong, so he opened his eyes, turned over, lifted his clothes, and touched his back, "Brother, why are you so cold?"

Xing Yue rubbed his head back and forth for a long time, and finally whispered into his ear, "It's cold."

The words were soft, as light as a breath.

Xiang Hai woke up completely, wiped his hand, but found that the lower abdomen was even colder, as if he had been lying on ice all the time, and he couldn't even cover it with heat.

"Did you get watered too?"

Xing Yue didn't speak, but moved his head up and down, which was an admission.

"Why did you go?" Xiang Hai didn't understand, he was also exposed to the rain, but he wasn't frozen like this.

As he spoke, he planned to touch Xing Yue's forehead to see if he had a fever, but his hand was held down.

"...Brother, let's stop making trouble, okay?"

Xing Yue shook his head.The quilt undulated slightly, and Xiang Hai's palm gradually became anxious.

Although his voice was still hoarse, Xing Yue uttered heavily.

His body was cold, but his breathing was like lighting a fire in this room.

The fire started at the root of the ear, instantly igniting Xiang Hai.

"Little sea..."

He started calling his name again, in a low voice.Fingers buried in his soft hair, urging.

He wanted to celebrate in this authentic way.

Celebrate that they are both alive, that they are still there for each other.

After tossing, Xing Yue didn't want to move.Xiang Hai struggled for a long time, and finally got up.

Turning on the light in the bathroom, he found a few pieces of clothes thrown by the sink. They belonged to Xing Yue. They were already soaked and there was still a lot of sand rolling on them.

Xiang Hai frowned, turned his head, and saw a set of unfamiliar clothes hanging on the wall, like work clothes, with the words "Matsuura Shipping" written on the back of the jacket.

Matsuura...is that the pier?

After washing himself clean, Xiang Hai got back into bed and found that Xing Yue had fallen asleep.

After touching his forehead, it felt much warmer than before, so he lay down and continued to sleep.

But when he felt drowsy, Xing Yue began to writhe.Turn left for a while, turn right for a while, until the heat in the bed is completely tossed.

Xiang Hai sat up, "Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

Xing Yue didn't speak, but turned back and forth uneasily, and finally just threw the quilt and rolled to the wall.

Xiang Hai quickly covered him again, "Brother?"

Xing Yue grabbed the corner of the quilt and wanted to lift it, so he said hoarsely, "It's hot."

Xiang Hai turned on the lamp beside the bed, and only then did he see his appearance clearly.

His short hair was messy, his brows were tightly frowned, his eye sockets were burning red, but there was no sweat on his forehead.

Xiang Hai immediately pressed his forehead.It was still cold just now, but now it was scalding his heart into a ball.

"Brother, you have a fever, what did you do? What did you do today?"

Xing Yue didn't speak, but closed his eyes and rested his arms on his eye sockets.

"I'll get you medicine!" Xiang Hai jumped out of bed as he spoke, but was pulled from behind.

"Xiao Hai," Xing Yue opened his eyes, half propped himself up, and just looked at him, but his eyes were blurred, "Will you accompany me?"

"what?"

"Tomorrow, to see my dad, will you accompany me?" His voice was so hoarse that he could barely hear it.

"Of course." Xiang Hai sat back on the bed, let him lie down, and covered him tightly with the quilt, "Didn't it be agreed a long time ago?"

Xing Yue then closed his eyes, but still held his arm, "Then go to bed, it's too late."

"Okay, go to sleep." Xiang Hai followed him, stroking his hair, "I've set the alarm clock, let's go there early tomorrow."

Xing Yue finally calmed down, his head slightly tilted to one side.

Xiang Hai stuffed the hot hand back under the quilt, and stood up gently.After thinking about it, I went to the kitchen.

He can be sure that Xing Yue definitely fell into the water, that's why his clothes are soaked, that's why his whole body is cold, and that's why he has a fever.

It took 10 minutes, he used Coke and ginger slices, boiled a bowl of thick ginger syrup, and brought it to the bed.

The quilt on Xing Yue's body was lifted again, and he was just hanging out.

Xiang Hai dragged him up, coaxed him to drink the water, and then let him lie down, tucked the quilt tightly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for beads of sweat to appear on Xing Yue's forehead.

His body was burning uncomfortably, even his palms were sweaty, and he wanted to lift the quilt again, but was held firmly by Xiang Hai.

When he calmed down a bit, Xiang Hai ran to the bathroom to get a wet towel and put it on his forehead.

Soon, he was writhing again.Xiang Hai held him down again.

Repeatedly, until the towel became half dry, Xing Yue finally calmed down completely.

Xiang Hai tried his forehead again, and it was no longer hot.

At this time, the rain outside the window also stopped.

Breakfast is almost ready, Xiang Hai is going to wake Xing Yue up.

Through the door of the bedroom, I could hear the people inside clearing their throats "cough", "cough", as if they were about to give a speech.

Pushing open the door, he stuck his head in, "Are you awake?"

Xing Yue was standing in the middle of the room, wearing a thick sweater over his pajamas, when he saw Xiang Hai coming in, he cleared his throat again.

"Is the leader planning to say a few words?"

Xing Yue smiled, pinched his throat, and tried to speak, "Cough, that, I'm hungry."

Fortunately, although it is not so transparent, he can talk again.

Xiang Hai also laughed, "The meal is ready, please come out to Missy."

Xing Yue came over and hugged him and walked outside, "Little comrade, you are quite enlightened."

"By the way, I want to take a shower first, my body is sticky."

"Let's eat first," Xiang Hai tugged at his clothes, "It will be warm after eating, or it won't be easy to catch a cold."

"Okay." Xing Yue obediently brushed his teeth, and then sat down at the dining table.

Xiang Hai went to the bathroom and turned on the warm air, blowing it ahead of time, and then closed the door of the bathroom.

While the two of them were eating, Xiang Hai asked, "Brother, did you fall into the water yesterday? I think your clothes are all wet."

Xing Yue just let out a "hmm" without looking up, and continued to eat.

"The man who escaped from prison, was he caught later?"

"Caught."

"Caught in the water?"

Xing Yue raised his head and glanced at him, "Almost."

Xiang Hai didn't ask any more questions.

At this time Xing Yue asked again, "What did you do all day yesterday?"

"Oh, just, go out and run for clues. As a result, when I came back, everyone in the bureau was gone."

Xing Yue nodded.

The two continued to eat.

A night of autumn rain washed the sky transparent.When I woke up in the morning, my head seemed to be covered with a boundless piece of blue glass.The air is cool, but with the unique refreshing after the rain.There are fallen leaves all over the ground, some are green and yellow, and some rainwater has been stored on the leaves, reflecting the sun's rays.

The car stopped outside the gate of the cemetery, Xiang Hai jumped down and took out a large bouquet of white flowers from the back seat.

Xing Yue closed the car door and lit a cigarette with empty hands.

Today he wore a half-length trench coat with a turtleneck sweater underneath.Inside and out, it's the same color as his short hair

"It's so quiet."

The two walked in, Xiang Hai was holding flowers, only birds chirping and the rustling of fallen leaves following their footsteps.

Xing Yue listened for a while, "If this place becomes lively, it will be troublesome."

He took a deep breath, "But it's really lively during the Qingming Festival. There are more living people than dead people."

The two continued walking, neither of them speaking.

The area of ​​this cemetery is not very large, Xing Yiqing's tombstone stands quietly in a corner, and there are not many neighbors around.

As Luo Meihua said, there are many people who miss him, and he will not be lonely.

When the two of them arrived, there were already flowers in front of the tombstone.

"Why... so many flowers?" Xiang Hai was stunned, and turned to look at Xing Yue.

Xing Yue put his hands in his pockets and shrugged, "It was given by someone else."

"Who sent it?"

"I don't know." Xing Yue sniffed, squatted down, and looked at the flowers, "There's no name written on it either."

He is used to it.It's basically like this every time I come here with my mother.

It's just that this time there are more, because this year is the tenth year since Xing Yiqing left.

"Then... what should I do?" Xiang Hai suddenly felt that the bundle in his hand looked a bit shabby.

"What should I do?" Xing Yue turned around, raised his face, the sunlight fell into his eyes, and he squinted, "Just let it go."

"Let them let it go, but you are not allowed to let it go?"

"Besides, can you be the same as them? You are my father's daughter-in-law. "

Xiang Hai's face turned red to the base of his neck, "Who, who, who, who is your wife."

The corners of Xing Yue's eyes smiled, "Then I'm your wife, okay?"

"Oh." Xiang Hai scratched his head, he really couldn't stand this topic, "Let's go."

Xing Yue moved aside.

Xiang Hai walked over, solemnly placed the flowers in his arms in front of the tombstone, then stood up, stood at attention, straightened his shoulders, knocked his heels, and saluted Xing Yiqing in an extremely standard manner.

"..."

Xing Yue had question marks all over his face, "What are you doing?"

"Salute."

"I'm asking, why do you want to salute."

"Shouldn't you salute?"

"..." Xing Yue was speechless, and felt that this person's brain circuit was quite unique.

"Come here," he simply sat on the ground and pulled Xiang Hai to his side.

Xiang Hai sat down next to him.

"Hey, Dad, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Xiang Hai."

After Xing Yue finished speaking seriously, he tilted his head.

Xiang Hai understood immediately, stroked his bangs, and said with a serious face, "Hello, uncle, my name is Xiang Hai, and I am also a policeman, working in the Zhenhua Branch. That, Xing Yue, is my wife."

"??"

Xing Yue froze for ten seconds, then collapsed laughing.

Xiang Hai was already blushing, but seeing Xing Yue rolling on the ground laughing, he wished he could go over and beat him up, "What are you laughing at? Isn't that what you said."

What's more, is there anyone who laughs so selflessly in this kind of place?

Xing Yue laughed and cried.

He struggled to sit up, and wiped his eyes, "You, you should take your time to talk about it, my dad was scared to death by saying such a sentence all of a sudden!"

A breeze passed by, fiddled with the petals on the ground, and quietly took away the laughter just now.

Both of them quieted down and sat opposite Xing Yiqing.

Xing Yue took out a cigarette and lit it, and handed one to Xiang Hai as well.

Xing Yiqing just watched these two people smoking quietly.

"Brother, I think your father is very handsome."

"It's okay." Xing Yue also looked at the photo on the tombstone.

That was the person he was most familiar with.Both men had the same blood on them.

It's just that after a long time, the yin and yang are separated, and when I look at the photos again, I feel a little strange.

After all, it wasn't the dad who could talk and laugh, compare himself with him, and brag about his frighteningly high peak appearance.

"You two are very similar." Xiang Hai looked at those eyes that were exactly the same as Xing Yue's.Those eyes were smiling and looking at him too.

"Yeah." Xing Yue exhaled the smoke, "everyone said so."

"However, you are still more handsome." Xiang Hai smiled earnestly.

"That's necessary." Xing Yue also raised the corners of his lips, tilted his body to the side, and kissed Xiang Hai on the cheek.

"Hey!" Xiang Hai felt embarrassed, and took a guilty glance at Xing Yiqing.

Xing Yue was amused by his behavior and snorted on his head.

Xiang Hai also felt quite silly, and then laughed too.

Xing Yue suddenly felt that Xing Yiqing would be happy if it was so lively.After all, every time Luo Meihua and I come here, the three of them don't talk to each other.

He also thinks that his father will like Xiang Hai, because they both love to laugh.

After being quiet for a while, Xiang Hai lowered his head to smell the flowers in front of him, "Brother, I think there must be a gift from Team Jiang."

"Jiang Yuan?"

"Yeah." Xiang Hai nodded, "He said, Xing, your father is his idol."

Xing Yue was taken aback for a moment, then let out a "chi" and took a deep breath, "He told you this?"

"Yes."

"What else did he tell you?"

"He also said..." Xiang Hai hesitated.

"Say it, what are you afraid of, let me listen to it."

"He said, 'Xingju is a determined person. He will die at the gunpoint of the enemy, but he will never jump off the roof by himself.'"

Xiang Hai turned his head to look at him, "He told me to remember these, and said not to believe those rumors."

After hearing what he said, Xing Yue's eyes were a little dim, his Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, and he turned back to continue smoking.

Idol......

Jiang Yuan was brainwashed enough.For so many years, as a son himself, he hasn't given out brainwashing bags everywhere, but he still insists on it.

Now it's Xiang Hai's turn again.

To say that the power of this idol is really infinite.

"Brother?" Xiang Hai called him suddenly.

Xing Yue turned his head.

"Did you know that Captain Jiang has a very, very long scar." Xiang Hai pointed to his wrist, "From here..." His finger went all the way up the arm, and finally stopped on his chest, "Until here .”

"It was left behind when he was an undercover agent when he was young."

Xing Yue frowned.He knew this, and had seen it.But why does Jiang Yuan like to show people around?

"How do you know? He undressed for you to see?"

"No..." Xiang Hai curled his lips, "When we were together in Guangdong, it was hot and we had to take a shower, and then we were all shirtless."

Xing Yue stared, "You guys still take a bath together?"

"..."

Xiang Hai was speechless.Is this the point?What is this person paying attention to?

"Brother, can you stop interrupting me all the time?" Xiang Hai took the last puff of his cigarette, put it out, and looked at the tombstone, "Team Jiang also told us that this account must be settled, and there are many more If there are too many accounts, they must be settled."

All accounts have to be settled, including Xing Yiqing's.

Such a person is a lamp in the abyss, which can be extinguished but cannot be dusted.

And Xing Yue's account.

I swore to protect him.

And my own account.

Those white powders, those demons that completely changed his life.

Xiang Hai looked at Xing Yiqing again, that person was still smiling and watching him silently.

For all this, he is always ready.

After sitting for a while, Xing Yue glanced at the time and stood up, "Let's go."

Xiang Hai also stood up and patted the dirt stuck to his clothes.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, chatting without saying a word, and walked slowly out along the way they came in.

"Brother, where shall we go later, go home?"

"Go and have a look at my mother."

"Did the doctor say when did the second stage of chemotherapy start?"

"Not yet, it depends on her recovery. The doctor told me..."

In the middle of speaking, Xing Yue suddenly stopped.

Xiang Hai also stopped, followed his gaze, and found a person walking towards him.

The man was wearing a black dress, holding a bouquet of light-colored flowers in his arms, with fluffy long curly hair tied behind his head, slightly lowered his head, looking down at the road under his feet, and pinned a white brooch on his chest.

Xiang Hai recognized it, it was Qu Wei.

He looked at Xing Yue nervously.

Xing Yue just stood there, expressionless.

At this time, Qu Wei also noticed someone in front of her, raised her head, froze for a moment, and slowed down her pace.But immediately walked over with a smile.

"Xing Yue!" Facing the sun, she raised her hand to cover her eyebrows, then immediately put it down again, narrowing her eyes, "I didn't expect to meet you."

After speaking, he looked at Xiang Hai next to him, and said with a smile, "Yes...Xiang Hai, remember me? We met once."

Xiang Hai was surprised that she still remembered his name, and quickly stretched out his hand, "Remember, hello!"

Qu Wei extended her hand generously to shake him, "Hello."

Withdrawing her hand, she gathered the flowers in her arms, raised her head and said to Xing Yue, "I'm here to see your father."

Xing Yue let out an "oh".He must have come to see Xing Yiqing, needless to say.

Then he felt that he had nothing else to say, so he turned sideways to get out of the way.

Qu Wei didn't move, "I've been wanting to chat with you before, but you really don't have time for work."

She raised her hand to cover her eyes again, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were a little obvious, "Since we met today, why don't you wait for me for a while, let's find a place to sit and have a meal, how about?"

After speaking, he turned his head and asked with a smile, "Xiang Hai will go with you, is that okay?"
