never forget [criminal investigation]

Xiang Hai was awakened by a continuous and deafening knock on the door.When I sat up suddenly from the bed, my head was buzzing.

"Who, who?" He asked subconsciously, got out of bed at the same time, and walked towards the door.

The knocking on the door continued, as if someone had a grudge against the door.

"Who is it?" Xiang Hai asked again when he reached the door. At the same time, he leaned on the door mirror and looked out, only to find that it was dark inside, as if blocked by someone.

"Open the door!" The person outside responded confidently, and then knocked twice.

It's Xing Yue.Xiang Hai suddenly became sober.

He rubbed his eyes quickly, ran to the mirror again, scratched his hair, ran back again, and opened the door.

Xing Yue was standing at the door with an impatient expression, his hands still in mid-air.

But when the door really opened, the two of them stared at each other for a moment, and they didn't know what to say.

"You... just got up?" There was a stalemate, but Xing Yue spoke first.

He saw that Xiang Hai's hair was disheveled, his face was a little pale, and there were two bruises under his eyes.

"Well, accidentally, I overslept." Xiang Hai stood by the door and pressed his raised hair again.

He didn't sleep last night and didn't feel sleepy until the light came out of the window.

Xing Yue came all the way aggressively, and wanted to show him some strength, but when he saw him like this, he lost all temper and only felt distressed.

Alas, Xing Yue felt that he was doomed, and was taken to death.

"Won't you let me in?"

Xiang Hai hurriedly opened the door and let himself aside.

Xing Yue entered the house, turned around and closed the door, and asked again, "Why did you turn off your phone?"

"...Is it turned off?" Xiang Hai was stunned, and then immediately said, "I, let me see."

He ran back to the bedroom, but quickly came out again, to the balcony.

The phone was still on the balcony. He pressed it, but there was no response.

He came back with his mobile phone, a little embarrassed, "It's out of battery. I forgot to charge it yesterday."

"Did the battery run out last night?" Xing Yue examined him.

"Mm...hmm." Xiang Hai bit the bullet and nodded.He also couldn't tell when the phone ran out of battery, but it was definitely still on when Xing Yue sent the message last night.

"So, you didn't see the message I sent you last night?" Xing Yue turned the car keys in his hand and looked down at him.

Okay, this man has learned to lie.

"Did you send me a message?" Xiang Hai raised his head, and decided to play it cheeky.

Xing Yue's eyebrows twitched, but then he almost laughed again.This person's acting skills are too bad, he is not suitable for lying. Before he could do anything, his face turned red first.

"Go and charge the battery, turn on the phone and see if you don't know."

"Oh." Xiang Hai agreed, but still stood still.

"You don't want to know what I told you?" Xing Yue tilted his head, catching his gaze.

"Think, think! I'll charge it right away after a while." Xiang Hai continued to hold on, and there was no logic in what he said.

Xing Yue sighed silently, and decided not to force him.

"I'm fine, I just can't get through to your phone number, come and take a look." As he said this, he had already put on his slippers, walked to the living room by himself, and sat on the sofa again.

Xiang Hai followed behind him, feeling very uneasy, thinking that Xing Yue was going to question him face to face.

Xing Yue frowned, "Why are you standing there?"

He was sitting, and Xiang Hai stood opposite him, as if he came to report to him.

"Oh, I, I just got up, move around." Xiang Hai waved his arms on the spot as he spoke, doing a set of chest expansion exercises.

Xing Yue looked at him until he became still again, and suddenly felt that since last night, the distance between the two of them seemed to have been pulled farther and became less natural.

This made him very uncomfortable.

Xiang Hai also looked at him, waiting for him to ask a question, but afraid that he would really speak.

After waiting for a while, Xing Yue asked, "Xiao Hai, did I offend you?"

Xiang Hai quickly shook his head, "No."

Xing Yue looked at him with a raised face, a little wronged in his eyes, "Then why did you punish me?"

Xiang Hai's heart immediately clenched into a ball, he lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Brother Xing."

He felt sorry for Xing Yue, and didn't know what to apologize for first.Was it his strange behavior yesterday, or the unilateral severing of contact later, or the lie he told just now, or was it all accumulated together that broke Xing Yue's heart.

"I'll show you what you've done." As Xing Yue said, he unbuttoned the two buttons on his neckline, and tore off the collar, revealing a straight and beautiful collarbone.

Only then did Xiang Hai raise his head, and saw Xing Yue was pulling his collar with one hand, and pointing at the two crooked circles with a signature pen on his collarbone with a very irregular shape.

What is this?Xiang Hai looked at him suspiciously.

"You left this to me yesterday, and the color has faded now. I'm afraid you won't admit it, so I specially marked it out with a pen as a souvenir." He fastened the buttons, and pointed to his neck, "Here, This, and this, all of them. But I don’t have the nerve to draw them all, after all, I have to go to the Municipal Bureau in the morning.”

Xiang Hai stood there with his eyes wide open, his face full of question marks, his ears were so red from the shock.

According to what he meant, if he didn't have to go to the city bureau in the morning, he would also have his neck circled?

No, why would someone circle this kind of thing with a pen?What is he thinking?

In addition, are these really all left by yourself?How could I be so crazy yesterday?

But what surprised him the most was that the "punishment" Xing Yue mentioned was just this.

He stood there silently, squeezing his fingers hard.

Xing Yue glanced at the time, it was past eleven o'clock.He rubbed his stomach, "I'm hungry, so I didn't have breakfast."

Xiang Hai immediately said, "Then you wait, I'll cook right away."

"No need." Xing Yue stopped him, "Let's go out and eat something good."

Then he leaned on the armrest of the sofa, "I'll give you 10 minutes to tidy up."

As he said that, he looked at him with some disgust, "Look at you like that, so decadent, what's the matter with your life?"

Xiang Hai was speechless, raised his hand to gather his messy hair, hesitated, and finally couldn't help asking, "Brother Xing, is there anything you want to ask me?"

Xing Yue looked at him, "Then is there anything you want to tell me?"

The corner of Xiang Hai's mouth moved, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

Xing Yue waved his hand at him, "Hurry up, don't be silly."

An hour later, the two sat face to face at a table by the window in a western restaurant, watching the waiter put food on the table one after another.

"Brother Xing, did you order too much?" Xiang Hai asked in a low voice.

Xing Yue ordered two steaks, a signature salad, fried shrimp in olive oil, a large order of French fries, and a large plate of premium seafood pasta.The round noodles are wrapped in a thick soup, wrapped around the red lobster, and the aroma is very attractive.

"Not much." Xing Yue held a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, "I'm starving, aren't you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry too." Xiang Hai also picked up the knife and fork.

"Then eat." Xing Yue began to cut the beef, "I'll order you another one later, tiramisu? I read that the reviews say it's delicious."

Xiang Hai also lowered his head to cut the beef.After cutting off a piece, he said, "Thank you, Brother Xing."

Xing Yue raised his head and glanced at him, didn't talk to him, and continued to concentrate on eating meat.

This restaurant is very emotionally decorated, the indoor lighting is dim, and only the position by the window is slightly brighter.Accompanied by soothing music, the atmosphere is comfortable and leisurely.Coupled with delicious food, people's mood is also happy.

It's just that the two of them had nothing to say, so they finished the meal in such a quiet manner.

At this time, the waiter walked over with a smile, holding a delicate notebook in his hand.

"Gentlemen, are you satisfied with the dishes in our restaurant?" The little girl stood by the table, leaned slightly, and asked with a sweet smile.

"Oh, it's pretty good." After Xing Yue finished answering, he looked towards the opposite side again.

Xiang Hai also nodded, "It's delicious."

The little girl was very happy, and continued to ask, "Are you two satisfied with the service of our restaurant?"

"Good."

Xiang Hai also said, "Satisfied."

At this time, the little girl smiled even sweeter, and spread out the notebook in her hand on the table, with a pen in the middle, "Thank you for your affirmation of our restaurant, we will continue to work hard!"

"If you don't mind, please write your opinions on the restaurant in this guest book? We sincerely welcome your comments and suggestions to us."

Seeing that Xing Yue was indifferent, she pushed the notebook forward again, "Please support my work a lot! We will give you a beautiful little gift later."

After speaking, she nodded to the two of them with a smile, then turned and left.

"Eating is still so troublesome." Xing Yue glanced at the book, then asked Xiang Hai, "Write it?"

"Let's write it, it doesn't take much trouble." Xiang Hai said, "Otherwise, she might not be able to complete the task."

Xing Yue dragged the notebook to him, "Hey, this thing must be nice to say, will anyone really give advice?"

As he spoke, he turned two pages forward, looking at the customer's message in front of him.

"The tiramisu is so delicious!! The steak is also great! I love this restaurant so much!"

"Confess to Ms. Vicky, she is pretty and has a good service attitude and a sweet voice. The boss should give her a raise!"

"I came here for my boyfriend's birthday and had a great night ~ happy!"

"..."

Xing Yue frowned, he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of idlers who liked to leave messages.

He picked up the pen, turned it around in his hand, and was about to drop it when he suddenly looked up at Xiang Hai.

Xiang Haizheng rested his chin on one hand and looked at him quietly.

The gazes of the two collided at once, and Xiang Hai hurriedly lowered his eyes to look at the tip of his pen.

Xing Yue thought for a while and started writing on a blank page.

After finishing writing, he turned the notebook in another direction and pushed it to Xiang Hai, "You should also write a few sentences."

"Okay." Xiang Hai pulled the notebook to him and picked up the pen.

The page in front of me is what Xing Yue just wrote. The handwriting is beautiful, but a little scribbled, as if it was written in one breath, with almost no pause in the middle.

"This restaurant is very good. The environment, taste, and service are all full marks. It's just that the person sitting opposite me doesn't seem to be in a good mood. I hope he will be happy after this meal."

The tip of the pen in Xiang Hai's hand trembled a little.

He raised his head and looked towards the opposite side, and found that Xing Yue was turning his head to look out the window, leaving him with a well-defined profile.

He took a deep breath and buried himself in the paper to write.After finishing writing, I pushed the book back.

Only then did Xing Yue turn his head to look at the words Xiang Hai wrote below his words.

"Actually, he is very happy. He has been very happy since the day he met you. He is very sorry about what happened yesterday, really sorry. I hope you can forgive him."

Xing Yue immediately wrote another line, threw the pen away, and pushed the notebook over at the same time.

"Just say sorry again, and I will break up with you!"

Xiang Hai read it, then lowered his head to write again.

"Then let me say thank you. Thank you, Brother Xing."

Thank you for forgiving me, thank you for keeping my secrets mine and thank you for not giving up on me.

Xing Yue frowned.

"Don't even say thank you!"

Looking at the flamboyant words, Xiang Hai pursed his lips.

"Brother Xing, do you think I'm troublesome? I don't want to always trouble you."

Xing Yue's pen was like a dragon's snake, and he wrote the last sentence.

"I'm worthless, you're in trouble, we just happen to be a perfect match, so don't dislike each other."

Xiang Hai finally laughed, and carefully tore off the paper full of words, folded it twice, and put it in his pocket.

Xing Yue looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "Satisfied?"

Xiang Hai pushed the book to him again, "Brother Xing, please write carefully and be serious, people still say there are gifts."

"Fuck." Xing Yue pulled the notebook over and picked up the pen again, "If you want a gift, don't write it yourself, let me write it."

"Your handwriting is beautiful." Xiang Hai looked at him and smiled.

At this time, the waiter came to this side again, and came to the front with a smile, holding a small gift box in his hand, "Is your opinion written?"

Xing Yue hummed and handed over the notebook.He noticed that "Vicky Wang" was written on her breastplate.

"Thank you for supporting my work!" The girl was very happy, "This is a small gift from us, I hope you like it!"

As she spoke, she put the small gift box on the table and picked up the guestbook again.

When I opened it, I saw that the whole piece of paper was filled with the word "good" the size of a palm.

Her smile faltered slightly, but then she seemed happier.Put away the guestbook and leave.

"Brother Xing, people won't think you're making trouble on purpose, right?" Xiang Hai asked while unpacking the gift box.

"Come on, there is no one in that book who is more sincere than me." Xing Yue looked at the things unpacked from the gift box and asked, "What is this?"

"It's a key chain." Xiang Hai held the little thing in front of his eyes and looked at it. There was a pendant on the key ring. It was a puppy, quite cute.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he took out his own bunch of keys from his pocket, removed one from it, put it on this key chain, and handed it to Xing Yue.

"This is the key to my house. Brother Xing, you don't have to knock on the door next time you come over."

Xing Yue took it happily, but he said, "You should knock on the door, or you have to knock on the door, otherwise it will be too embarrassing to encounter something inappropriate for children someday."

"..." Xiang Hai was already embarrassed, "Are you a child?"

Xing Yue suppressed a smile, and lowered his voice, "You mean, I don't have to be embarrassed if we meet?"

"Fuck." Xiang Hai found himself being led into the ditch again.He turned his face to the side, "No, I must be more embarrassed than you at that time."

Xing Yue giggled, put the keys away, and wanted to tease him again, when the phone rang suddenly.

He glanced at the screen, it was Qin Peng.

"Hello, old Qin."

"Captain Xing, the forensic doctor called just now, saying that someone has come to claim the nameless corpse at the scene of the fire."

"Who is it?" Xing Yue's eyes sank, and he already had a premonition.

"Yes, it's from the Municipal Bureau."

Xing Yue's Adam's apple rolled twice, looked out of the window again, and said after a moment of silence, "Okay, I see. Well, are you in the bureau now?"

"I'm here."

"Okay, I'll be there later."

After hanging up the phone, he seemed a little distracted.Withdrawing his gaze, he didn't know where to stop, and finally landed on Xiang Hai's face.

"What's wrong, Brother Xing?"

"Oh, I, I have to go back to the bureau later."

"Then let's go quickly." Xiang Hai said and prepared to pay the bill.

"It's okay, don't worry, just sit down for a while." Xing Yue held him down, "What are you doing later?"

Xiang Hai said, "I'm going to get a haircut, and then go home and read a book."

Xing Yue nodded silently, and suddenly asked without thinking, "Well, Xiao Hai, have you thought about going to the anti-drug brigade?"

Xiang Hai was stunned, "Thought it out." Following him, he leaned over and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Team Zhou has changed his mind again? He doesn't want me anymore?"

"No, no," Xing Yue quickly waved his hand, "I haven't changed my mind. I just asked casually."

"Scared me to death." Xiang Hai breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Xing, I won't take you to scare people like this."

Xing Yue didn't say anything else, stood up, "Let's go."

The two left the restaurant, he sent Xiang Hai back, and then drove directly to the branch office.

When Xiang Hai entered the house, the first thing he did was to charge his phone.

When the screen finally turned on, he couldn't wait to open WeChat.

But looking at the three words "collecting..." and the non-stop circle in front of him, he felt his heart scratching.

Finally, the phone jingled and collected all the unread messages.

He clicked on Xing Yue's profile picture, and looked at the last message over and over again.

After a long time, he put down his cell phone, opened the bottom drawer of the desk, and took out the tin box again.

Open the lid, and on the top is the card that Xing Yue once tucked in the flowers for him, wishing him a happy Children's Day.

He put in the paper he had torn from the diner suggestion book, pressed it on top of the card, and put the lid back on.

All his happiness is treasured here, most of which are given by Xing Yue.

"Thank you, boyfriend."

I am thinking of you too.
