never forget [criminal investigation]

"It's raining?"

Xing Yue came out of the doctor's office and found that the glass of the corridor window had become hazy.The drops of water twisted into threads, falling down one after another.

Standing by the window, through the criss-crossing water curtain, he watched the umbrellas propped up one by one downstairs, like colorful duckweed, floating around.

This morning, he asked the bureau for two hours' leave and arrived at the hospital before the doctor went to work.

After chatting with Luo Meihua's attending doctor for more than half an hour, the date of surgery was set, which was this Friday.

The doctor gave a few words of enlightenment symbolically, encouraging patients and their families not to give up hope.But in the end, I told him very directly that in view of Luo Meihua's current situation, the final effect of the operation would not be very optimistic, and it was hard to say how much it would be effective, so he must be mentally prepared.

When listening to the doctor say these words, Xing Yue was in a trance for a while.

There is a bed in the doctor's consulting room, which is used for seeing patients.Xing Yue's eyes fell on the bed.

He wanted to lie there and rest for a while, even if it was just five minutes of sleep.

Some small puddles had already accumulated on the road, and the umbrellas around them began to move in a snake shape, but the rain showed no sign of stopping.

Xing Yue watched silently for a while, then went to Luo Meihua's ward.

Pushing open the door of the ward, Luo Meihua was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a book in his hand.His complexion still looks bad, but his mental state seems to have improved a lot.

"You're here." Luo Meihua raised her head, put the book in her hand aside, and even took the initiative to greet him, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Eat." Xing Yue lied, "Mom, have you eaten?"

Luo Meihua didn't answer, but pointed to the small table beside the bed, "Your Auntie Du came here this morning and brought a lot of things. Come over and have something to eat."

Xing Yue didn't refuse any more, went to sit on the chair beside the bed, and started to eat without a sound.

In fact, he was already hungry.He was in a hurry when he went out, and he didn't eat anything.

Luo Meihua didn't say anything, and picked up the book again.

While eating, Xing Yue sneaked a glance at her.It was found that she had almost returned to her usual graceful state.

Her hair was well-groomed, even her hospital gown was neatly tied, and her lips were lightly colored.

Xing Yue couldn't understand it.But this is also a good thing.

He continued to eat, and after a while he said, "Mom, the hospital has set the surgery date, and it will be this Friday. I think it's ok, and the doctor said the sooner the better. What do you think?"

He was a little uncertain, not knowing how Luo Meihua would react.It will be difficult if she refuses to cooperate.

Unexpectedly, Luo Meihua agreed very quickly, and said for the first time, "I have no objection, just watch the arrangement."

Xing Yue was quite surprised.

"Oh," he put down the spoon in his hand, and said in a word, "Mom, well, surgery, it must be more or less risky. But don't stress too much, we will work hard together, and we will definitely get better. "

Luo Meihua didn't say yes or no, but just gave a faint "hmm".

Xing Yue felt that the communication with his mother was surprisingly smooth today.But this kind of chicken soup can't be poured too much at one time, otherwise the taste will be weak.What's more, Luo Meihua never eats this set.

So he picked up the spoon again and ate with a dull head.

Before taking a few mouthfuls, Luo Meihua suddenly asked, "I was chatting with your Auntie Du just now, Xing Yue, do you have a date right now?"

Xing Yue almost spit out a mouthful of rice.

He swallowed the meal hastily, and raised his head with a complicated expression.

Luo Meihua was also looking at him, her gaze was less indifferent and more warm, and she didn't seem to ask casually, "Yes? Is it the colleague you went to pick up food from me last time?"

Xing Yue didn't know how to answer.

It's not that he wanted to hide it from her, it's just that Luo Meihua said these words suddenly, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Is it true? You don't want to tell me, or...they haven't agreed yet?"

Damn...Xing Yue didn't know what to say anymore.Is this still the same mother as Miejue Shitai?

Seeing that he was just staring at her, Luo Meihua smiled lightly, then lowered her head to read the book, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. However, if you really like someone, just chase after him. If you catch up with him, get along well. Be serious, You are not young anymore."

"Remember, you must find someone who shares your heart, cares about you, cares about you, and knows how to love you. Otherwise..."

"Hey, but if both of you are policemen, there's nothing you can do about it."

Xing Yue looked at Luo Meihua like an alien.

After a long time, I sniffed and said frankly, "Mom, I have a date, that is... my colleague from last time."

Luo Meihua raised her eyes, and there was joy in her eyes, "Then is she treating you well?"

Xing Yue nodded, "Excellent."

Luo Meihua looked at him, seemed very satisfied, and nodded, "That's good."

After a pause, he asked casually, "If you don't mind, why don't you bring him over in the next two days and let me have a look?"

Xing Yue was dumbfounded.

Seeing his expression, Luo Meihua immediately said, "Oh, it's fine if it's inconvenient, that's what I said, you don't have to worry about it. As long as you can get along well."

"......no."

Xing Yue didn't know what to say.

It's not because of his sexual orientation that he finds it hard to talk about it, nor does he refuse to bring Xiang Hai over to show her, it's just...

It's just that he never thought that such words would come from Luo Meihua's mouth, and his attitude was as kind as a real mother.Especially now, two people who are clearly not related by blood don't even need the last trace of pretense of family affection, shouldn't they be more indifferent?

This strange concern made him a little panicked.

But after thinking about it again, he accepted it calmly.

Since there is nothing to hide, since I still call her mom, since she has said so...

"I don't mind." Xing Yue said frankly, "But I have to ask him first. If he doesn't mind, I'll bring him here in two days. If he doesn't want to, you can't force him."

Luo Meihua smiled, "Okay."

She looked into Xing Yue's eyes, and suddenly asked, "You like her very much, don't you?"

Xing Yue also looked at her and nodded, "Yes, I like it very much."

"Just like it." Luo Meihua breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the bed and continued to read.

After Xing Yue finished eating and sat for a while, Luo Meihua told him to go back to work and not to be with him all the time.

Xing Yue glanced at the time, told her to call him if there was anything, and then left the ward.

The rain outside was still falling, pattering, endlessly.

It was not easy to hail a car in the hospital, so Xing Yue ran out of the hospital gate in the rain and stopped a car on the side of the road.

After finally waiting for a taxi, he bent down and got into the car, and the rain dripped down his eyelashes.

"Go to the Zhenhua branch."

After reporting the address to the taxi driver, he leaned on the back seat and wiped the rain from his face.

The car was speeding on the road, and occasionally there was a "crash", splashing a splash of water.

Xing Yue was thinking about Xiang Hai's injury, so he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call him.After unlocking the screen, he was worried that he would be woken up by himself, so he put down the phone again.

Would he be willing to meet Luo Meihua with him?Xing Yue felt a little uncertain.Will it scare him away?

What happened to Ke Luo Meihua?

Staring at the slanting rain outside the car window in a daze, the phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Qin Peng.

"Hello, old Qin."

"Captain Xing, are you still in the game today?"

"In the past, I'm on the road now, and... 10 minutes."

"Oh, there is such a situation. I just received news that Zhao Lang appeared in the Provincial No. [-] Prison to visit He Kun."

Xing Yue sat up straight all of a sudden, "When?"

"Just this morning."

"Has He Kun seen him?"

"Yeah." Qin Peng said meaningfully, "The two chatted for a while."

Xing Yue was alert immediately, "So, Zhao Wenyu must still be alive."

"It shouldn't be wrong." Qin Peng also agreed.

The taxi driver in the front peeked at him secretly through the rearview mirror.

Xing Yue thought quickly.He thought of how He Kun suddenly became sickly.

"Old Qin, you will take Erhe to the prison later. I suspect that the surnamed He will figure it out. You can check to see if he is released on parole for medical treatment. If so, see what stage it is now."

Qin Peng was very surprised, and hurriedly agreed, "Yes. We will set off right away."

"in addition......"

Xing Yue suddenly thought of a detail.

It was mentioned in the file provided by Jiang Yuan that He Kun always liked dogs before he was arrested.There are several fat and strong dogs in the family, and they will take one with them wherever they go.

There have been several times when someone blocked the door to make trouble, but he didn't ask his subordinates to do anything, but just let the dog out.In the end, those people ran away covered in blood.

He Kun is very proud of this.

It is said that a dog he raised saved his life some years ago.Therefore, he always regards these dogs as treasures.They also hired special people to serve them, to eat and drink, to see a doctor when they were sick.

"Also, ask someone to check." He lowered his voice, "Is there any veterinarian who was close to He Kun before?"

Qin Peng was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

Zhao Wenyu was injured, but he was not sent to the hospital, and if he wanted to survive, he had to find someone to see a doctor.Doctors who treat people are unreliable, so find someone who treats animals.

"Yes. I'll find someone to investigate right away." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Xing Yue just put down his phone, and before he could catch his breath, the jingling bell rang again.

This time it turned out to be Tian Xiang.

"Report to Team Xing, just now, there was a major breakthrough in Sister Yun's case."

Xing Yue's nerves tensed again immediately, "What's the situation?"

Tian Xiang hurriedly reported, with excitement in his tone, "Didn't we send an investigation report against Sister Yun and her husband before, we just received a call from the Mingzhou City Bureau, and they arrested a couple of days ago Burglary. The man stole some cash, jewelry, and a laptop, and for some reason the next day, he was reported."

"Later, when the police went to his house to pick up the stolen goods, they found that this man was still a habitual offender, and there was still a lot of stock in the house. Among them was a rather earthy calico bag, which he threw in the corner. There was a notepad and two bank notes inside. SIM card, and two worn-out old mobile phones. At that time, he thought the two mobile phones were worthless, so he threw them there."

"But the police in Minnesota found that the contents of the notepad were quite strange, one by one, like a transaction record. There were code names that seemed to be names, numbers that seemed to be transaction prices, and content such as gender and age. .They sent a photo, and I'll send it to you later to have a look."

"The most important thing is that the account holders of the two bank cards, one of whom is named Luo Dayong, is Sister Yun's husband!" Speaking of this, Tian Xiang was so excited that he almost shouted.

"Great!" Upon hearing the news, Xing Yue immediately lost all fatigue.

He glanced out of the car window, "I'm almost at the bureau, maybe five or six minutes. You and Xiaowei get down when you're ready, take the car keys, and when I arrive, we'll head to Mingzhou right away!" "

"Yes!" Tian Xiang agreed, and happily hung up the phone.

Xing Yue was also a little excited.After so long, the child reselling case finally had a substantial breakthrough.

With a "ding" sound from the phone, Tian Xiang sent a photo.

Xing Yue opened the photo and zoomed in to see it.

Just an ordinary notepad, an ordinary page with a few lines written on it.

The words are not beautifully written, but they are large, so the meaning expressed is clear at a glance.

Xing Yue found a familiar name inside.

"April 4th, Ying, male, 9 months, 5, fixed."

Xing Yue frowned, and ruthlessly turned off the phone.

"Brother, are you a policeman?" Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of the branch office, the taxi driver suddenly spoke up.

Xing Yue recovered from his anger and let out a "hmm".

The driver smacked his lips and sighed, "Oh, you have worked hard."

The car turned into the compound of the branch office, and Xing Yue saw Tian Xiang and Zhang Xiaowei from a distance, running towards a car against the rain.

"It's been hard work. You too."

As Xing Yue said, he pointed to the car, "Just park next to that car."

The taxi stopped, Xing Yue paid, opened the door and got off, and got into the back seat of another car directly.

When Xiang Hai finally opened his eyes with difficulty, he heard the sound of dripping rain outside the window, followed by a pain from his back.

"Ouch!" He yelled, raised his head, and felt that his head was as big as a basketball, and his left and right brains were still in a state of splitting.

So he lay back on his stomach again and waited for a long time before getting up little by little.When I touched the back, I felt a thick gauze.

He sat on the edge of the bed, trying to dig out the memory of yesterday.

I remember... I was drinking heavily, and then Xiao Tengfei came and fought with him and his two younger brothers; followed Zhou Xun and brought the people in the team in, and I was pinned to the ground, Handcuffed; then Xing Yue appeared, grabbed his hand, and carried him to the side of the road...

Then, it was broken.

He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples vigorously, feeling his back hurting and thirsty at the same time.

"How could someone like to drink so much?" He couldn't understand it, or was it because his drinking capacity was too poor?

"Then have I worked it out?"

After sitting for a while, he stood up grinning, intending to drink some water.

But as I walked, I felt chilly all over my body.

"Fuck!" At this time, he just passed the full-length mirror, and quickly turned back, staring at the shirtless and bare-legged person in the mirror, with only a pair of underwear left on his body.

And the panties...

Xiang Hai moved closer again, what are the things on these underwear?

Red, red, yellow, yellow, black and black, dotted with spots and patches.And it looks like...fingerprints on the side?

He turned and looked again.

It's a handprint, because the second half of the palm is hanging on his buttocks.

"..."

So, what exactly happened after I drank the pill yesterday?

He looked in the mirror again and checked himself from top to bottom.I found that except for the burning wound under the big gauze on the back, everything else was normal.

After thinking about it, he turned his back again, opened his underwear, and glanced inside.

The little brother is also very calm, nothing unusual.

So he went back to the bedroom, put on a T-shirt, and changed into a pair of clean underwear.

He knew that he must have seen his clothes dirty yesterday, and Xing Yue helped him change them.He didn't feel particularly embarrassed about it.I'm just sincerely grateful that Xing Yue preserved the last bit of dignity for him when he was unconscious.

After washing up, he ran to the kitchen to find water to drink.Only then did I realize that there was food on the table.

He rubbed his belly and felt hungry immediately.

Although it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, the food on the table looked like breakfast.

A bowl of porridge, an fried egg, two slices of ham, two corn tortillas, and three side dishes.

Xiang Hai sat down at the dining table, and gently picked up a note that was pressed under the plate.

"Xiao Hai, remember to eat when you get up. If it's cold, you must reheat it before eating. After eating, rest on your stomach and don't touch your back injury. In addition, Zhou Xun said, let you rest at home for the next two days. You just Just rest obediently. Call me if you need anything."

Xiang Hai looked at the note for a long time, and finally stuck it to his lips, and kissed it lightly.

Putting down the note, he took the already cold breakfast and prepared to heat it up.

Suddenly, he sniffed and smelled a faint smell of paste.

Stumbling around, I saw a pot next to the stove with a note attached to it.

"Eat outside, don't touch this one, I'll come back to get it at night."

Xiang Hai lifted the lid of the pot curiously.

"..."

Inside is a mass of brown-black unknown objects, which are inseparable from the bottom of the pot, emitting bursts of burnt smell.I picked it with my fingers, and it was as hard as a meteorite.

It turned out that the food on the table was takeaway.Xiang Hai laughed.

What time did this person wake up?Did you get half asleep?

He put the same breakfast in the microwave to heat up.

While waiting, he strolled to the balcony again, intending to take care of his own flowers.

At this time, he noticed a small bottle on the windowsill.

It was a glass bottle, like a fruit juice bottle, only the size of a palm, half full of water, squeezed wet among a row of flowerpots.

There is a light yellow flower inserted in the mouth of the bottle, and there is only one flower, which is the most ordinary dandelion in the city.

Xiang Hai picked up the glass bottle and sniffed it close to his nose.

The finely divided petals have no fragrance at all, but he still finds it very sweet.

With a sound of "ding", the breakfast in the microwave is ready.

He moved the little yellow flower to the dining table and let it accompany him to have breakfast.
