Don't move the old man's bounty
Chapter 167 Rules
In the evening, Zhu Mingen and Xie Shiming arrived at Jiang Juan's house according to the appointment. When they got off the car, they praised the camellias in the yard for blooming well, and a rainbow fart made the flower farmer Xiao Shi praise the sky.
Influenced by the harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhu Mingen's aesthetics have regressed in a straight line since Jiang Juan returned to Yanxi. When he saw the colorful flowers, he couldn't help but take a group photo. He also asked Xie Shiming to help take a few photos, and specially posed for middle-aged and elderly classic styles .
Jiang Juan looked at Zhu Dui who was posing in front of the camera, and couldn't help sighing, "I won't be like this when I get older...?"
Xiao Shi rubbed his hair and said: "No, don't worry, I won't give you the chance to find the old man dancing in the square in the future. Even if you want to play disco, you can only go to Qing Dynasty, you understand?"
"Come on, what kind of Di..."
Jiang Juan put down the fruit, and called the two people who had been in the courtyard for a long time to come in, "Captain Zhu, come in first, wash your hands and drink some water, take a break and take pictures of the night scene."
Zhu Mingen has a special liking for these camellias that are blooming just right, "Oh, it's a pity I didn't let your sister-in-law take a look. She likes flowers very much. She always wants me to accompany her to the botanical garden to pick some new ones." , I have to take a few pictures to make her hungry!"
Xie Shiming smiled and said, "Brother Zhu is so grown up, he still looks like a child."
Zhu Mingen argued: "You don't understand, a man is a teenager until he dies!"
Seeing that the two teenagers were reluctant to enter the house, Jiang Juan simply moved the dining table out with Xiao Shi, and leaned against the most blooming tea tree.
Xiao Shi also lit the night lights that he had prepared to make his wife happy. The whole courtyard was surrounded by soft and warm light, creating an incomparably warm atmosphere. Soon everyone prepared a table of dishes amidst laughter.
Zhu Mingen rubbed his hands, "Oh, it's just in time for the Chinese New Year, you two are really serious, why do you prepare so much, it's a waste if you can't finish it."
Xie Shiming said: "Brother Zhu has a small appetite after the operation, but his hunger has not decreased. If you prepare too much, you will be anxious if he can't eat."
The two people who were named were stuck in the "couple" and didn't recover for a long time.
Xiao Shi said with a smile: "Then don't go back, stay at home for a few more days, and we'll talk when we've had enough."
Zhu Mingen joked: "That can't be done, your sister-in-law should be anxious, when the time comes to find you, you will have to support our family for nothing."
Everyone laughed and went to the table, Xiao Shi put the mandarin duck pot on the induction cooker, and Jiang Juan divided the bowls and chopsticks.
Xie Shiming wondered: "Little Juanzi, why did you take five sets of bowls and chopsticks? There are only four of us, and there is one more seat."
Jiang Juan pursed his lips, saying that he made a mistake and added an extra serving, but he didn't intend to remove the extra tableware, and put them on the seat near the tea tree.
Zhu Mingen poked Xie Shiming quietly and gave him a wink.
Xiao Shi interjected at the right time: "Brother Zhu, Brother Xie, go ahead and wash your hands."
Zhu Mingen responded, and pulled Xie Shiming, who didn't know why, into the room.
When the two of them were far away, Jiang Juan squatted under the tea tree, clasped his hands together, pressed his fingertips to his lips, closed his eyes and said softly, "Brother, they are the Zhu Dui and Xie Fu that I mentioned to you, they are very good to me It's rare to see each other, so you should come and have fun. It's so boring down here, you must be bored... Today, it's the Chinese New Year, so come and accompany us."
Xiao Shi poured a small glass of wine, poured it slowly into the soil, and patted Jiang Juan on the head, "He has to come after drinking, this is the rule."
It's the rules, the old rules.
When Xiao Shi lived in Jiang's house, it was just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At that time, he and the Jiang family brothers hadn't gotten to know each other well enough, and he always felt that he, an outsider, shouldn't disturb the situation on such a family reunion day.
That day Xiao Shi made an excuse casually, saying that he was going to spend the night at a friend's house tonight and then left. In fact, after going out, he hid in a nearby forest where few people went, and sat from dawn to dark.
He has no friends and no home, the Jiang family is the only place he can stay, but to him, the Jiang family is his relatives, in the eyes of the Jiang family, maybe he is just an outsider.
Looking at the high hanging full moon, Xiao Shi stared at it until his eyes hurt, only then did he realize that the light of the moon is also so dazzling.
When will this homeless day end?
While thinking wildly, someone behind him patted him.
As soon as Xiao Shi turned his head, he felt that a glass of wine was poured into his mouth. It was hot and burned all the way from his throat to his stomach, choking him to cough.
The suspect, Jiang, was still holding the wine glass used in the crime, standing behind him and laughing, "The rules of the Jiang family, it is not good for anyone who drinks and does not serve the table. You are also my Jiang family, follow the rules of my Jiang family. Not too much, right?"
Xiao Shi remembered that the wine had a strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, very strong.
He was so intense that he couldn't control it, and tears rolled down in strings.
"How old are you and still shed cat tears, are you ashamed? Okay, don't cry, don't you just pour some wine for you, as for crying like this... let's go, come back with me, brother do it A table of meals, don't give him face."
At that time Jiang Juan dragged Xiao Shi forward, and the latter stood still like a stubborn dog, not taking a step forward.
He felt in his heart that he was an outsider, but he didn't say it.
Because Jiang Juan just said that he is also from the Jiang family, he wanted Jiang Juan to say it again, ten times and a hundred times, so that he could burn this sentence into his heart.
With Jiang Juan's temperament, he must have no patience to repeat to him, but even if he was beaten, he still wanted to hear him say a few more words.The kind you don't regret.
"What's wrong with you? It's fine to stick here and eat the wind by yourself, and I'll feed the mosquitoes with you." Jiang Juan's cheeks swelled up with anger, "I won't go back to eat the crabs just out of the pot before I go out." It won't smell good anymore!"
Xiao Shi looked at him helplessly, but still didn't speak.
Jiang Juan turned his face away awkwardly, "I...I also cooked a dish just now. Although it is a cold dish, it will not taste good if it is left for too long. You...you usually play with a child's temper. Forget it, I don't care about you, but if you spoil the meal I cook, see if I don't beat you up and cry at night!"
To be honest, Xiao Shi wanted to cry very much now.
"Tired, I...you..."
Xiao Shi was vague and babbled a string of birdsong, but Jiang Juan didn't understand a single word.
From then on, Xiao Shi remembered the family rules that he had to abide by as a member of the Jiang family - he had to go to the table after drinking, and no one could deny it.
"Actually, there were no such family rules back then. I just talked nonsense to coax you to go home for dinner." Jiang Juan turned around and looked at Xiao Shi with a smile, "But now, we can have it."
Zhu Mingen leaned against the door and watched the two of them without moving for a long time.
Xie Shiming shook the water in his hand, and bumped him lightly from behind, "Why are you sneaking around, why don't you go over there?"
"I can't find the time..." Zhu Mingen said, "I think the two of us are a bit redundant now."
"Bah! You are redundant, I don't believe it, Jiang Xiaojuan usually likes me the most."
Xie Shiming realized it later, when he rushed out and happened to see the scene where the two were kissing under the tea tree, the half of the leg that was stretched out hung in the air for a long time, but he still took it back.
"Why don't we go to sleep on the street tonight?"
"Shh, the two of them turned their heads, behave normally, and don't let them feel that something is wrong."
Zhu Mingen raised his arm and poked him, and the two went to the table.
As soon as the fat cow was put into the pot, Xiao Shi poured wine for everyone. The two sick patients, Zhu Mingen and Jiang Juan, were deprived of the right to enjoy themselves and could only drink green tea together.
Xie Shiming has a generous personality, and after a few glasses of wine, he started chatterbox, recalling the past with his tongue open.
He said: "Xiao Juan, he doesn't say a word and doesn't say a word. He is always aggrieved by himself. He doesn't say anything when he is bullied. He just keeps silent and finds a place to hide. It makes people feel distressed. Bullying, Lao Zhu and I couldn't stand it, so I told him, don't stay with those two hundred and five, it's bad luck! If you are run over by someone in the bureau and have no place to deal with, come to us."
He took another sip of his wine, hooked Jiang Juan's shoulder, and patted the back of his hand, but he said to Xiao Shi: "Until now, there is still a place for him in the big office of our team. In a small corner, things are stacked so high that one person can be hidden there, and one cannot be seen hiding there unless one looks carefully. It’s a pity that Little Juanzi didn’t go there a few times.”
Zhu Mingen said with a smile: "Yes, everyone in our team knows that Ah Juan usually has no hobbies, but likes to eat snacks, so whoever buys food will bring him a bite. This habit has not changed until now. The snacks in that position are piled up."
"I bought a lot too!" Xie Shiming drank too much, and went to pull Xiao Shi's hand again, "You may not know that feeding him is the greatest pleasure for brothers. Seeing that they are not interested in anything at ordinary times, one The eyes of a sick-looking person come to pick up the thing in your hand, the contrast, tsk tsk!"
As he spoke, his mood dropped again, and even the circles of his eyes were red.
"The last time I came back, I didn't dare to recall that scene. I remember that Lao Zhu and I had just left the scene, and when we came back, we saw blood on the ground, a string leading directly to his seat. I went up and saw him. He huddled under the table and passed out a long time ago. The brothers sent him to the hospital anxiously, only to find out that he ran out of the hospital. If he was injured during a mission, we would not report it if we were worried. The grandsons of the anti-drug group also I didn’t dare to tell us the truth, I was so angry that I wanted to find them desperately!”
Zhu Mingen shook his head: "I stopped him, and you can't solve the problem fundamentally if you fight with others. He knows that someone is going to kill him, and it's not safe anywhere, so he went back to our place to show that he can do it there." An Xin, he really trusts us. To be honest, after Ah Juan left, I felt uncomfortable for a long time, and that's how your sister-in-law comforted me later, I think it's the same thing."
After hearing this, Xie Shiming began to rub his eyes, "Old Zhu, we all feel that Xiao Juanzi is alone and lonely, and want to be his relatives and try to give him a home. But in the end, we are still outsiders, and we all have our own homes. , can't be with him for the rest of his life. Fortunately, now there is someone who can really accompany him to go far..."
"Yes, Shi Ming, you can feel at ease."
Zhu Mingen turned his head and whispered to Jiang Juan: "You don't even know, he was worried about getting angry because of your affairs. Earlier, drinking chrysanthemums every day couldn't stop the foaming in his mouth, and he kept talking to me, or he would I won't get married if I don't find a partner, I will take you with me in the future. I said don't, don't rely on Ah Juan if you can't find a partner to get married yourself, no one wants you, but we, Ah Juan, are still wanted."
Everyone laughed, and Xie Shiming was drinking madly: "It's over! Little Juanzi is married, and I'm left as an old bachelor..."
He stood up staggeringly, staggered to Xiao Shi's side, holding a wine glass, he insisted on bumping into someone.
"Xiao, let me tell you, our Changning criminal investigation is just this treasure, and I'm just this good brother. You have to treat him well and live with him well, you know? He has lived a good life in this life." Bitter, I haven't enjoyed a few days of blessings since I was a child, you can't let him be wronged again, you know? Otherwise, I'll just... hiccup!"
"Shiming, you drank too much."
Zhu Mingen stepped forward to help Xie Shiming up, and competed with the drunk, insisting on taking him into the house.
"Well, he hasn't drunk for a long time, and he talks too much, don't mind, I'll take him in to sober up, and I'll come out and help you clean up."
"You don't need Brother Zhu, we can just come. Tired, help them tidy up the two guest rooms?" Xiao Shi said.
"No, no, no." Zhu Mingen couldn't hold back, "How dare you bother me."
"There are a lot of rooms at home, so you're welcome! It's not safe to drive at night, so don't leave!"
Unable to withstand the enthusiasm of the two to stay, Zhu Mingen and Xie Shiming still stayed.
When Xiao Shi helped Xie Shiming into the room, the latter patted him and said, "You must be nice to the little tired boy, you know? I miss him and always worry, you have to let me know .”
"Sure, Brother Xie." Xiao Shi said, "Leave the tiredness to me, don't worry."
"You have to give him a home, you know? We are all outsiders, no matter how much we care about him, no matter how much we can't let him go, we can't be with him forever, but you are different."
Xiao Shi heard Xie Shiming behind Jiang Juan's back, and whispered in his ear: "...you are his relative."
After the trouble was over, Jiang Juan, who was still sitting in front of the court, asked Xiao Shi, "Where are Brother Zhu and Brother Xie?"
"It's all rest, let me come." Xiao Shi took the scouring pad from Jiang Juan's hand, and consciously wiped the table for him, "You didn't sleep all night yesterday, so you closed your eyes and rested for a while, and you haven't recovered yet. Come here. Go to bed first, if you want your husband to accompany you, go to the living room and play with your phone for a while, my husband will be there soon, soon."
After finishing speaking, he felt that this was not quite right, "...Maybe it's not so fast."
Jiang Juan didn't go far, turned around and sat on the window sill, holding the wine bottle they hadn't finished drinking, and looked at Xiao Shi eagerly.
Feeling his burning gaze, Xiao Shi turned around, "Why, do you want to drink too?"
"……think."
"You are not in good health, it is best not to drink."
"think."
Xiao Shi couldn't resist him, and hooked his fingers at him.
Jiang Juan leaned over, and he quickly kissed the man's nose, "Then go back to the room and wait, don't let them find out."
Jiang Juan's eyes lit up, and he bumped upstairs with the wine bottle, followed by a yawning Xiao Tian.
Xiao Shi thought to himself that what he said sounded like an affair, and seeing his reaction, it seemed even more so.
No man could resist this kind of temptation, Xiao Shi quickly cleaned up the messy kitchen, turned off the lights and went upstairs.
When the door was pushed open, Jiang Juan had just taken a shower, his hair was still damp, only a bath towel was covering his waist, and he was holding a bottle of iced milk in his hand, as if he was debating whether to drink it or not.
"It's too cold, let me warm you up."
"No more." Jiang Juan said, "I still want to drink."
"Wait."
Xiao Shi turned around and went downstairs, and replaced the cold milk with old yogurt at room temperature, without letting Jiang Juan do it himself, and fed him a few sips with a spoon.
"Spicy, sour, cold and high-heat foods will all irritate the stomach, which is not good for the body. It will be better to drink some yogurt in advance."
"No wonder you insisted on asking me to have a drink before dinner."
"I saw that you stared at the spicy pot with starry eyes, so I knew that you would definitely not listen to me, so it's better to drink some insurance in advance."
Xiao Shi moved a small folding table to the balcony, stuffed two cushions and a bunch of snacks inside, helped Jiang Juan dry his hair, put on a cool set of pajamas, and sprayed some toilet water on him.
"Don't let the mosquitoes eat my daughter-in-law."
"You are poor."
The two of them sat comfortably on the balcony, enjoying the evening breeze and sipping the aroma of wine, a rare pleasure.
Jiang Juan said, "You didn't drink much at night, is it because you don't drink as much as before?"
"No, I want to listen to them soberly when they tell you about your past. You don't like to bring up your past, no matter how good or bad it is. If I can't get it from you, I have to get it from you." Others are slipping there."
"Next time you want to know something, you can ask directly. As long as I think I can say it, and I'm not lazy, I can still tell you."
"Then tell me, how did you make that cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine you gave me back then?"
Xiao Shi posted it, leaned on Jiang Juan, and talked nonsense with the strength of wine, "I didn't talk about it when I was abroad. After returning to China, I have been looking for the familiar taste. I have tasted many brands of wine. Can’t find that sweetness enough to overwhelm the bitter taste.”
"That's why you got drunk every day when you locked me up?"
"...I was discovered by you." Xiao Shi boldly leaned on Jiang Juan's lap, "I'm sorry, I apologize, I did too many stupid things in those days and caused you to suffer a lot."
"I'm tired of hearing your apology. Compared with this, I want to know why."
Jiang Juan took a small sip of the wine, grabbed potato chips and stuffed it into Xiao Shi's mouth, "Why do you have to know where the wine came from, so that it tastes so good?"
"If you asked me this question at that time, I would definitely not know the answer. I would make up a random one for you, and then let our relationship become more and more rigid."
Xiao Shi's messy hair was scattered on Jiang Juan's legs, and he raised his hand to touch the man's thin chin, and put his fingertips against the corner of his mouth, rubbing it repeatedly.
"Now that I think about it, I'm not obsessed with the taste of that wine, I just want to go back to that day with the memory of deja vu."
He hooked Jiang Juan's neck, hugged him tightly, and kissed him deeply.
Lingering for a long time, still inseparable.
Reflected by the sky full of stars, Xiao Shi's deep eyes seemed to be dotted with stars, and he muttered: "Back... to the day when you gave me my home."
"...idiot." Jiang Juan said softly, pulling off his hand to cover his eyes, "Don't make me cry..."
Hot tears slid down the back of Xiao Shi's hand, along the curve of his arm, and were dried by the night wind before Xiao Shi caught it.
"Don't cry," he hugged Jiang Juan and said, "My heart will hurt."
"The wine that day was actually nothing special." Jiang Juan said in a hoarse voice, "It's a small bottle of Jiang Xiaobai, with a low alcohol content. I remember you said that you don't like drinking, and you don't like any kind of wine. Melted some honey into the bottom of the cup. When I went to find you, I saw that the sweet-scented osmanthus was blooming in the garden, so I grabbed a handful and threw it in. I didn't expect you to like it so much."
Xiao Shi took his hand and kissed lightly on the back of his hand, "I like it, I like it very much."
"Then this year..."
Jiang Juan choked for a moment, his pupils trembled to avoid Xiao Shi's gaze, and turned back when the man pinched his chin.
"What about this year?"
"I want to say... This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, we will also go to pick osmanthus in the forest together, and come back to go to the bar."
"Okay!"
"But I'm afraid I'll miss the appointment."
Jiang Juan lowered his head, thinking that this escape was not enough, so he simply closed his eyes.
"I have made many promises with the people I care about, but in the end I couldn't realize them. I am destined to regret for the rest of my life, so what I fear most is hopeless promises. Do not do to others what you don't want. I can't let you and me Same."
"No, I want your agreement, even if it fails to come true, I won't blame you."
Xiao Shi sat up and faced him face to face, so that he could clearly see his sincerity.
"But you promise me that since you have an agreement with me, you will work hard to realize it, okay? I promise not to blame you or hate you, as long as we all try our best to realize it, even if it is not satisfactory in the end, we will not regret it. "
Jiang Juan was a little moved, "...Really?"
"Of course, we pull the hook!"
Under the moonlight, the little fingers of the two hooked up, and they could feel each other's warmth.
Jiang Juan disliked that Xiao Shi was still playing child's tricks, but he felt honored for this promise in his heart.
Thank God for giving them a chance to let go of the regrets of those ten years. This may be the only redemption in a lifetime.
"Xiao Shi, how much did you drink?"
"Not many, people are not confused yet, I can drink with you to your heart's content."
"Then drink some more. It is said that men can't do that kind of thing when they are drunk. I want to test whether this rumor is true or not."
Xiao Shi was not drunk, but his mind was a little dull, he slowly realized the meaning of these words, and threw Jiang Juan onto the bedroom floor.
"I can't tell whether you want it or not. The sound is nice, and it will make you comfortable tonight."
"...No, Brother Zhu and Brother Xie are still downstairs."
"They can't hear you. You don't like to make noise. As long as I keep my voice down, they won't notice."
Just hearing this, it is really hard to tell who is up and who is down.
"Then... I still want it."
Jiang Juan stared straight at the cold moonlight shining into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Xiao Shi poked his head into his clothes and sniffed left and right. Does he still have a chance to say no?
It was a tossing night, fierceness and tenderness coexisted, and it was not until dawn that the movement in the room stopped.
Xiao Shi turned over, woke up in a daze, raised his hand to cover Jiang Juan with a quilt, and hugged him tightly from behind.
"I hope that every year in the future, we can be like this, and stay together forever..."
Jiang Juan was fast asleep and couldn't hear him talking.
But even if he was sober, he probably wouldn't reject him.
This cunning man deliberately lowered the temperature of the air conditioner, making Jiang Juan unconsciously curl up in his arms.
It's such a quiet time...
Not long after falling into this sweet dream, the two were woken up by the disturbing alarm clock.
The drowsy Xiao Shi could only crawl to the foot of the bed, pressed the alarm with deep resentment, and threw the phone back on the ground.
He moaned miserably, "Daughter-in-law...is it alright if you don't go to work?"
Jiang Juan didn't close his eyes the night before, and didn't close his eyes until dawn this morning. He didn't have the strength to get up at the moment, and said weakly: "...please take a leave first, let's talk after getting enough sleep...otherwise I will die suddenly in the Serving the people on the front line.”
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"What kind of animal are you? It's a waste of energy not to go to the production team to pull the cart."
"... Tired boy, are you praising me?"
"……Um."
The two exchanged a few words in sleep, and when Xiao Shi climbed back to bed, they both fell asleep again.
At some point, Jiang Juan said in a daze, "...I feel so guilty."
"What?" Xiao Shi wanted to see if he was dreaming again, but he was too sleepy to open his eyes, so he pulled him into his arms, "...what's wrong?"
"For so many years, this is the first time I skipped work."
Jiang Juan yawned and finally regained consciousness.
Looking out the window, it was just dawn, but it was not too late.
"Is it too late to get up and go to work?"
"How can there be such a conscientious social animal like you, Tired Cub, you really touched China."
Xiao Shi also regained his energy, slowly got up, reached out and fumbled for the phone under the bed.
"But I don't allow it. Don't go anywhere today. Just stay at home and make up for the lack of sleep. I'll call Jiang Xun to ask for leave..."
He patted the ground a few times but couldn't find the phone, and finally got annoyed, "Forget it, I can't find it, you'd better go to sleep, and if Jiang Xun calls later, I'll..."
Before he could finish speaking, the life-threatening bell rang again.
Xiao Shi was so sleepy that he wanted to vomit, and he didn't have a good temper. After answering the phone, he said fiercely to the opposite side: "What is it that has to be quarreled in the morning! Do you understand the work and rest of grown men?"
"...I don't understand."
The person on the other end obviously didn't expect him to be so angry, and was not prepared at all.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, sober up! Something happened!"
Jiang Xun's voice was so loud that even Jiang Juan, who closed his eyes and meditated, could hear clearly, and got up, "What's the matter? What's the situation?!"
"Two bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Xiao Shi blasted Mao and howled into the microphone: "It's all bad news, so why not choose a fart! Hurry up and give it a good time!"
"... Oh. Last night, oh no, it should be said that Chen Qing ran away from the hospital in the early morning of this morning. We have sent people to search, but we haven't found him yet, but he should not go far. "
Jiang Juan jumped up on the spot when he heard this, "Is there another bad news?"
"We found a business card from Wu Hui's dormitory. Judging from the contact information and company position, it was a deceased employee of Ye's company. We suspect that this person is likely to be related to Wu Hui's transaction on the day of the incident. By the way Following this clue, Di Zhen found the employee's former residence, which was a small western-style building in Third Street. Unfortunately, when we arrived, it had already been turned into ruins."
"……What did you say?"
"It was a deliberate arson." Jiang Xun said, "There is a large amount of combustion accelerant left at the scene. Because the roadway is blocked, fire trucks cannot drive in. The fire spread quickly and caused casualties. Regarding this matter, I have some questions that need to be met face to face. ask you."
Jiang Xun is impatient, and the opponent is Jiang Juan, so he didn't bother to beat around the bush, and blurted out immediately: "Some witnesses said that the arsonist was a sick young man with a height of 1.8 meters and a 1.9 who was close to [-] meters. Xiao Shi?"
Jiang Juan: "..."
Xiao Shi: "..."
The two rushed to the branch office at the speed of light. Jiang Juan saw Jiang Xun and lowered the window of the car before he even parked. Not to be outdone, he looked at the ruffian man outside with his hands in his trouser pockets and a cigarette in his pocket.
"I'm curious why the other party described a sick man with a height of more than 1.8 meters and a 1.9 who is close to [-] meters. You would think that these two idiots are me and Xiao Shi. There should be many sick yangzi and [-] who can be friends in this world. Right? Two hundred and fifty is fine, why does the sick man want to accurately target me?"
"That's something you have to ask yourself."
Jiang Xun took a few quick steps, reached into the car window and pressed Jiang Juan's shoulder, then patted the car door on his side, "Why did this car appear near the scene at that misleading time before the incident that day? ? Jiang, how many things are you hiding from me?"
Jiang Juan, who came to the door to inquire about the crime, was choked and had nothing to say, and was dragged down by Jiang Xunsheng, and began to play badly, "I don't know, don't ask me, I don't know."
Jiang Xun pointed at Song Yuzhi, who was whispering to Yuan Yu next to him, "Come over and look at Xiao, park the car and let him go in to find me. If you let him run away, I will definitely make you cry tonight."
Yuan Qin was dumbfounded, "...are you guys so exciting at night?"
Song Yuzhi covered his face and said, "Forget it, it's better not to let you know the truth."
Just like that, Jiang Juan was stuffed into the small dark room by Jiang Xun. As soon as the door was locked and the lights were turned on, Jiang Xun stood in front of Jiang Juan and slapped the table with both hands.
"Be lenient when confessing, and strict when resisting. Ah Juan, explain to me what you did in Third Street the day before yesterday? It was the most important time to investigate the zombie case. You left the band and left the crowd outside the stadium alone. What does it mean to just arrest Zhou Xuan and put your head on your head? Is there any important matter that is worth letting go of the murder just happened? What is going on with you now!"
The nickname is still on the mouth, but the attitude is irresistible.
Jiang Juan knew that Jiang Xun was in a hurry this time.
He sighed and apologized quite self-consciously: "I'm sorry."
This forced Jiang Xun to swallow the words temporarily, choking and coughing.
"what happened?"
Jiang Xun restrained his thorns, took a chair and sat in front of Jiang Juan, with his knees against him, waiting for his answer.
Jiang Juan had no choice but to tell him about Ye Mingxiao's entrustment to investigate Ji Yin, and of course, cut out the most important part.
Regarding the details of meeting Ka Suo, he also processed it artistically, saying that the light was too dark, he did not see the other party's face, and because he found that the other party was holding a dangerous weapon, he took Xiao Shi and ran away in a hurry.
Jiang Xun tugged at his hair and rumpled it into a mess, "I did find some messy footprints at the scene, and you and Xiao Shi wore the shoes of the day to check the traces, so as not to misjudge."
He muttered again: "It's not your character to run away when you find a dangerous person. Ah Juan, is there something else you're hiding from me?"
Jiang Juan was taken aback.
After his reminder, Jiang Juan realized that this was indeed the case.
If he hadn't brought Xiao Shi with him that day, even if he found out that Ka Suo was also in that house, he would definitely fight to the death with his life.He dare not say it elsewhere, but on his own territory, he has the confidence.
But he did the exact opposite that day, after all...
"Because of Xiao Shi." Jiang Juan said calmly, "I have to protect him. I have to bring him back no matter how I bring him out. Otherwise, I'm sorry bro..."
Jiang Xun covered his mouth before he finished speaking, "You are the one who is sorry. Stop using Jiang Zhu as an excuse. Is it so difficult to admit that you care about him?"
Jiang Xun got up, walked slowly to the door, and said: "I don't know what kind of grievances and grievances there are between you to make this happen, but I can't bear to see you deceiving yourself, torturing yourself, and making a fuss about yourself like this." Ah Juan, it is not easy to meet the right person in this life. You have been flying for so long, and it is time to miss the warmth of your family nest. Even if you want to take off again, you should take care of your chronic illness first. Otherwise, this time, there may be no return date."
He opened the door and went out, and then changed his face and shouted: "Xiao Yuzi! Bring me Xiao Shi! What shoes did you wear to the scene that day? Is it this pair? Hurry up and check the two footprints to match Yes, or I'll arrest you both!"
"It's gone." Xiao Shi yawned and brought a pair of slippers with his eyes covered with bruises, "Jianzi, you have a good rest, I'll help you send the shoes over."
"Pull it down, you are naked too, I have something to tell you two. Old Yuan! Come and help me!"
Jiang Xun picked off their shoes with his backhand, pressed Xiao Shi next to Jiang Juan, took out his tablet and drew a red circle on the electronic map.
"I'm not an outsider, so I'll just say it. Yesterday at three o'clock in the morning, a bungalow in the third street caught fire. You should know that the streets are chaotic and the fire exits are blocked by sundries and rubbish. The fire trucks couldn't get in, which delayed the best time for rescue, and the fire spread rapidly, affecting the houses here."
Jiang Xun drew a few more yellow circles on the map, "The wind was blowing from the northeast that day, so the fire was burning to the southwest. Fortunately, the few houses closest to the fire started were unoccupied a long time ago. These old people The house has a lot of debris and is flammable. It can’t be extinguished without a high-pressure water gun. It’s late at night, and all the victims have lost consciousness because of excessive inhalation of harmful gases. This arson case resulted in one victim The three victims are still receiving treatment in the hospital, and one of them, a middle-aged man in his 60s, provided the testimony of 'sick young man' and 'two hundred and five'."
Xiao Shi looked at the location marked on the map, "Wait, this road seems to be the one we walked that day..."
"So, the person who provided the testimony is the one..." Jiang Juan turned his head away, "For this witness, 'sick young man' and 'two hundred and five' are both compliments to us...how is he doing?"
Jiang Xun said: "Inhaled carbon monoxide, a little lack of oxygen, now the situation has stabilized. Fortunately, he lived far away, opened the window to ventilate at night, and slept lightly. When he found something wrong, he immediately called the police. The old man insisted The arsonist is the outsider you two face to face, he is the only witness who seems to have witnessed the suspect, do you have any explanation for this?"
Xiao Shi was furious when he heard this, "Does this need to be explained! We are not murdering and setting fire to investigate the clues, it is impossible to do such a thing!!"
"Mainly..." Jiang Xun's tone was a little weak, and he looked at Jiang Juan repeatedly, "Your family is indeed capable of murder and arson, and may have a criminal record. I have to be careful."
"What criminal record! Don't slander him! I will testify for him, absolutely nothing!!"
Jiang Xun stomped his feet in annoyance, "Who cares about your troubles! Correct your attitude! Now it's just me to understand the situation, and the situation is not that serious. Don't wait for the superiors to find out and send leaders to Xingshi to question you! Otherwise, you Getting involved in the case over and over again, even I can't cover you! Can you understand!"
This time Xiao Shi calmed down, he was kicked by Jiang Xun, and he responded eagerly.
"Also, as far as the relationship between the two of you is concerned, no matter what testimony you provide, it's not worth referring to. Even if something happens, you won't be able to stop him even if you have the best skills, so you will watch him closely in the future! You know Is it gone!!"
Jiang Xun couldn't hold back, and hit Xiao Shi a few more times, forcing the latter to hide behind Jiang Juan.
"Daughter-in-law, look, look at him..."
"Stop it."
Jiang Juan raised his hand between the two of them, pushed the barefooted Xiao Shi behind him, and let him slump softly behind him.
"Has the identity of the victim who died in the fire been identified? Also, why did Chen Qing run away?"
"Oh, it's a long story." Jiang Xun sat down, "Last night, Chen Qing took medicine and fell asleep as usual, and the policeman guarding him didn't notice anything unusual. I didn't eat, and in the dead of night
Influenced by the harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhu Mingen's aesthetics have regressed in a straight line since Jiang Juan returned to Yanxi. When he saw the colorful flowers, he couldn't help but take a group photo. He also asked Xie Shiming to help take a few photos, and specially posed for middle-aged and elderly classic styles .
Jiang Juan looked at Zhu Dui who was posing in front of the camera, and couldn't help sighing, "I won't be like this when I get older...?"
Xiao Shi rubbed his hair and said: "No, don't worry, I won't give you the chance to find the old man dancing in the square in the future. Even if you want to play disco, you can only go to Qing Dynasty, you understand?"
"Come on, what kind of Di..."
Jiang Juan put down the fruit, and called the two people who had been in the courtyard for a long time to come in, "Captain Zhu, come in first, wash your hands and drink some water, take a break and take pictures of the night scene."
Zhu Mingen has a special liking for these camellias that are blooming just right, "Oh, it's a pity I didn't let your sister-in-law take a look. She likes flowers very much. She always wants me to accompany her to the botanical garden to pick some new ones." , I have to take a few pictures to make her hungry!"
Xie Shiming smiled and said, "Brother Zhu is so grown up, he still looks like a child."
Zhu Mingen argued: "You don't understand, a man is a teenager until he dies!"
Seeing that the two teenagers were reluctant to enter the house, Jiang Juan simply moved the dining table out with Xiao Shi, and leaned against the most blooming tea tree.
Xiao Shi also lit the night lights that he had prepared to make his wife happy. The whole courtyard was surrounded by soft and warm light, creating an incomparably warm atmosphere. Soon everyone prepared a table of dishes amidst laughter.
Zhu Mingen rubbed his hands, "Oh, it's just in time for the Chinese New Year, you two are really serious, why do you prepare so much, it's a waste if you can't finish it."
Xie Shiming said: "Brother Zhu has a small appetite after the operation, but his hunger has not decreased. If you prepare too much, you will be anxious if he can't eat."
The two people who were named were stuck in the "couple" and didn't recover for a long time.
Xiao Shi said with a smile: "Then don't go back, stay at home for a few more days, and we'll talk when we've had enough."
Zhu Mingen joked: "That can't be done, your sister-in-law should be anxious, when the time comes to find you, you will have to support our family for nothing."
Everyone laughed and went to the table, Xiao Shi put the mandarin duck pot on the induction cooker, and Jiang Juan divided the bowls and chopsticks.
Xie Shiming wondered: "Little Juanzi, why did you take five sets of bowls and chopsticks? There are only four of us, and there is one more seat."
Jiang Juan pursed his lips, saying that he made a mistake and added an extra serving, but he didn't intend to remove the extra tableware, and put them on the seat near the tea tree.
Zhu Mingen poked Xie Shiming quietly and gave him a wink.
Xiao Shi interjected at the right time: "Brother Zhu, Brother Xie, go ahead and wash your hands."
Zhu Mingen responded, and pulled Xie Shiming, who didn't know why, into the room.
When the two of them were far away, Jiang Juan squatted under the tea tree, clasped his hands together, pressed his fingertips to his lips, closed his eyes and said softly, "Brother, they are the Zhu Dui and Xie Fu that I mentioned to you, they are very good to me It's rare to see each other, so you should come and have fun. It's so boring down here, you must be bored... Today, it's the Chinese New Year, so come and accompany us."
Xiao Shi poured a small glass of wine, poured it slowly into the soil, and patted Jiang Juan on the head, "He has to come after drinking, this is the rule."
It's the rules, the old rules.
When Xiao Shi lived in Jiang's house, it was just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At that time, he and the Jiang family brothers hadn't gotten to know each other well enough, and he always felt that he, an outsider, shouldn't disturb the situation on such a family reunion day.
That day Xiao Shi made an excuse casually, saying that he was going to spend the night at a friend's house tonight and then left. In fact, after going out, he hid in a nearby forest where few people went, and sat from dawn to dark.
He has no friends and no home, the Jiang family is the only place he can stay, but to him, the Jiang family is his relatives, in the eyes of the Jiang family, maybe he is just an outsider.
Looking at the high hanging full moon, Xiao Shi stared at it until his eyes hurt, only then did he realize that the light of the moon is also so dazzling.
When will this homeless day end?
While thinking wildly, someone behind him patted him.
As soon as Xiao Shi turned his head, he felt that a glass of wine was poured into his mouth. It was hot and burned all the way from his throat to his stomach, choking him to cough.
The suspect, Jiang, was still holding the wine glass used in the crime, standing behind him and laughing, "The rules of the Jiang family, it is not good for anyone who drinks and does not serve the table. You are also my Jiang family, follow the rules of my Jiang family. Not too much, right?"
Xiao Shi remembered that the wine had a strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, very strong.
He was so intense that he couldn't control it, and tears rolled down in strings.
"How old are you and still shed cat tears, are you ashamed? Okay, don't cry, don't you just pour some wine for you, as for crying like this... let's go, come back with me, brother do it A table of meals, don't give him face."
At that time Jiang Juan dragged Xiao Shi forward, and the latter stood still like a stubborn dog, not taking a step forward.
He felt in his heart that he was an outsider, but he didn't say it.
Because Jiang Juan just said that he is also from the Jiang family, he wanted Jiang Juan to say it again, ten times and a hundred times, so that he could burn this sentence into his heart.
With Jiang Juan's temperament, he must have no patience to repeat to him, but even if he was beaten, he still wanted to hear him say a few more words.The kind you don't regret.
"What's wrong with you? It's fine to stick here and eat the wind by yourself, and I'll feed the mosquitoes with you." Jiang Juan's cheeks swelled up with anger, "I won't go back to eat the crabs just out of the pot before I go out." It won't smell good anymore!"
Xiao Shi looked at him helplessly, but still didn't speak.
Jiang Juan turned his face away awkwardly, "I...I also cooked a dish just now. Although it is a cold dish, it will not taste good if it is left for too long. You...you usually play with a child's temper. Forget it, I don't care about you, but if you spoil the meal I cook, see if I don't beat you up and cry at night!"
To be honest, Xiao Shi wanted to cry very much now.
"Tired, I...you..."
Xiao Shi was vague and babbled a string of birdsong, but Jiang Juan didn't understand a single word.
From then on, Xiao Shi remembered the family rules that he had to abide by as a member of the Jiang family - he had to go to the table after drinking, and no one could deny it.
"Actually, there were no such family rules back then. I just talked nonsense to coax you to go home for dinner." Jiang Juan turned around and looked at Xiao Shi with a smile, "But now, we can have it."
Zhu Mingen leaned against the door and watched the two of them without moving for a long time.
Xie Shiming shook the water in his hand, and bumped him lightly from behind, "Why are you sneaking around, why don't you go over there?"
"I can't find the time..." Zhu Mingen said, "I think the two of us are a bit redundant now."
"Bah! You are redundant, I don't believe it, Jiang Xiaojuan usually likes me the most."
Xie Shiming realized it later, when he rushed out and happened to see the scene where the two were kissing under the tea tree, the half of the leg that was stretched out hung in the air for a long time, but he still took it back.
"Why don't we go to sleep on the street tonight?"
"Shh, the two of them turned their heads, behave normally, and don't let them feel that something is wrong."
Zhu Mingen raised his arm and poked him, and the two went to the table.
As soon as the fat cow was put into the pot, Xiao Shi poured wine for everyone. The two sick patients, Zhu Mingen and Jiang Juan, were deprived of the right to enjoy themselves and could only drink green tea together.
Xie Shiming has a generous personality, and after a few glasses of wine, he started chatterbox, recalling the past with his tongue open.
He said: "Xiao Juan, he doesn't say a word and doesn't say a word. He is always aggrieved by himself. He doesn't say anything when he is bullied. He just keeps silent and finds a place to hide. It makes people feel distressed. Bullying, Lao Zhu and I couldn't stand it, so I told him, don't stay with those two hundred and five, it's bad luck! If you are run over by someone in the bureau and have no place to deal with, come to us."
He took another sip of his wine, hooked Jiang Juan's shoulder, and patted the back of his hand, but he said to Xiao Shi: "Until now, there is still a place for him in the big office of our team. In a small corner, things are stacked so high that one person can be hidden there, and one cannot be seen hiding there unless one looks carefully. It’s a pity that Little Juanzi didn’t go there a few times.”
Zhu Mingen said with a smile: "Yes, everyone in our team knows that Ah Juan usually has no hobbies, but likes to eat snacks, so whoever buys food will bring him a bite. This habit has not changed until now. The snacks in that position are piled up."
"I bought a lot too!" Xie Shiming drank too much, and went to pull Xiao Shi's hand again, "You may not know that feeding him is the greatest pleasure for brothers. Seeing that they are not interested in anything at ordinary times, one The eyes of a sick-looking person come to pick up the thing in your hand, the contrast, tsk tsk!"
As he spoke, his mood dropped again, and even the circles of his eyes were red.
"The last time I came back, I didn't dare to recall that scene. I remember that Lao Zhu and I had just left the scene, and when we came back, we saw blood on the ground, a string leading directly to his seat. I went up and saw him. He huddled under the table and passed out a long time ago. The brothers sent him to the hospital anxiously, only to find out that he ran out of the hospital. If he was injured during a mission, we would not report it if we were worried. The grandsons of the anti-drug group also I didn’t dare to tell us the truth, I was so angry that I wanted to find them desperately!”
Zhu Mingen shook his head: "I stopped him, and you can't solve the problem fundamentally if you fight with others. He knows that someone is going to kill him, and it's not safe anywhere, so he went back to our place to show that he can do it there." An Xin, he really trusts us. To be honest, after Ah Juan left, I felt uncomfortable for a long time, and that's how your sister-in-law comforted me later, I think it's the same thing."
After hearing this, Xie Shiming began to rub his eyes, "Old Zhu, we all feel that Xiao Juanzi is alone and lonely, and want to be his relatives and try to give him a home. But in the end, we are still outsiders, and we all have our own homes. , can't be with him for the rest of his life. Fortunately, now there is someone who can really accompany him to go far..."
"Yes, Shi Ming, you can feel at ease."
Zhu Mingen turned his head and whispered to Jiang Juan: "You don't even know, he was worried about getting angry because of your affairs. Earlier, drinking chrysanthemums every day couldn't stop the foaming in his mouth, and he kept talking to me, or he would I won't get married if I don't find a partner, I will take you with me in the future. I said don't, don't rely on Ah Juan if you can't find a partner to get married yourself, no one wants you, but we, Ah Juan, are still wanted."
Everyone laughed, and Xie Shiming was drinking madly: "It's over! Little Juanzi is married, and I'm left as an old bachelor..."
He stood up staggeringly, staggered to Xiao Shi's side, holding a wine glass, he insisted on bumping into someone.
"Xiao, let me tell you, our Changning criminal investigation is just this treasure, and I'm just this good brother. You have to treat him well and live with him well, you know? He has lived a good life in this life." Bitter, I haven't enjoyed a few days of blessings since I was a child, you can't let him be wronged again, you know? Otherwise, I'll just... hiccup!"
"Shiming, you drank too much."
Zhu Mingen stepped forward to help Xie Shiming up, and competed with the drunk, insisting on taking him into the house.
"Well, he hasn't drunk for a long time, and he talks too much, don't mind, I'll take him in to sober up, and I'll come out and help you clean up."
"You don't need Brother Zhu, we can just come. Tired, help them tidy up the two guest rooms?" Xiao Shi said.
"No, no, no." Zhu Mingen couldn't hold back, "How dare you bother me."
"There are a lot of rooms at home, so you're welcome! It's not safe to drive at night, so don't leave!"
Unable to withstand the enthusiasm of the two to stay, Zhu Mingen and Xie Shiming still stayed.
When Xiao Shi helped Xie Shiming into the room, the latter patted him and said, "You must be nice to the little tired boy, you know? I miss him and always worry, you have to let me know .”
"Sure, Brother Xie." Xiao Shi said, "Leave the tiredness to me, don't worry."
"You have to give him a home, you know? We are all outsiders, no matter how much we care about him, no matter how much we can't let him go, we can't be with him forever, but you are different."
Xiao Shi heard Xie Shiming behind Jiang Juan's back, and whispered in his ear: "...you are his relative."
After the trouble was over, Jiang Juan, who was still sitting in front of the court, asked Xiao Shi, "Where are Brother Zhu and Brother Xie?"
"It's all rest, let me come." Xiao Shi took the scouring pad from Jiang Juan's hand, and consciously wiped the table for him, "You didn't sleep all night yesterday, so you closed your eyes and rested for a while, and you haven't recovered yet. Come here. Go to bed first, if you want your husband to accompany you, go to the living room and play with your phone for a while, my husband will be there soon, soon."
After finishing speaking, he felt that this was not quite right, "...Maybe it's not so fast."
Jiang Juan didn't go far, turned around and sat on the window sill, holding the wine bottle they hadn't finished drinking, and looked at Xiao Shi eagerly.
Feeling his burning gaze, Xiao Shi turned around, "Why, do you want to drink too?"
"……think."
"You are not in good health, it is best not to drink."
"think."
Xiao Shi couldn't resist him, and hooked his fingers at him.
Jiang Juan leaned over, and he quickly kissed the man's nose, "Then go back to the room and wait, don't let them find out."
Jiang Juan's eyes lit up, and he bumped upstairs with the wine bottle, followed by a yawning Xiao Tian.
Xiao Shi thought to himself that what he said sounded like an affair, and seeing his reaction, it seemed even more so.
No man could resist this kind of temptation, Xiao Shi quickly cleaned up the messy kitchen, turned off the lights and went upstairs.
When the door was pushed open, Jiang Juan had just taken a shower, his hair was still damp, only a bath towel was covering his waist, and he was holding a bottle of iced milk in his hand, as if he was debating whether to drink it or not.
"It's too cold, let me warm you up."
"No more." Jiang Juan said, "I still want to drink."
"Wait."
Xiao Shi turned around and went downstairs, and replaced the cold milk with old yogurt at room temperature, without letting Jiang Juan do it himself, and fed him a few sips with a spoon.
"Spicy, sour, cold and high-heat foods will all irritate the stomach, which is not good for the body. It will be better to drink some yogurt in advance."
"No wonder you insisted on asking me to have a drink before dinner."
"I saw that you stared at the spicy pot with starry eyes, so I knew that you would definitely not listen to me, so it's better to drink some insurance in advance."
Xiao Shi moved a small folding table to the balcony, stuffed two cushions and a bunch of snacks inside, helped Jiang Juan dry his hair, put on a cool set of pajamas, and sprayed some toilet water on him.
"Don't let the mosquitoes eat my daughter-in-law."
"You are poor."
The two of them sat comfortably on the balcony, enjoying the evening breeze and sipping the aroma of wine, a rare pleasure.
Jiang Juan said, "You didn't drink much at night, is it because you don't drink as much as before?"
"No, I want to listen to them soberly when they tell you about your past. You don't like to bring up your past, no matter how good or bad it is. If I can't get it from you, I have to get it from you." Others are slipping there."
"Next time you want to know something, you can ask directly. As long as I think I can say it, and I'm not lazy, I can still tell you."
"Then tell me, how did you make that cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine you gave me back then?"
Xiao Shi posted it, leaned on Jiang Juan, and talked nonsense with the strength of wine, "I didn't talk about it when I was abroad. After returning to China, I have been looking for the familiar taste. I have tasted many brands of wine. Can’t find that sweetness enough to overwhelm the bitter taste.”
"That's why you got drunk every day when you locked me up?"
"...I was discovered by you." Xiao Shi boldly leaned on Jiang Juan's lap, "I'm sorry, I apologize, I did too many stupid things in those days and caused you to suffer a lot."
"I'm tired of hearing your apology. Compared with this, I want to know why."
Jiang Juan took a small sip of the wine, grabbed potato chips and stuffed it into Xiao Shi's mouth, "Why do you have to know where the wine came from, so that it tastes so good?"
"If you asked me this question at that time, I would definitely not know the answer. I would make up a random one for you, and then let our relationship become more and more rigid."
Xiao Shi's messy hair was scattered on Jiang Juan's legs, and he raised his hand to touch the man's thin chin, and put his fingertips against the corner of his mouth, rubbing it repeatedly.
"Now that I think about it, I'm not obsessed with the taste of that wine, I just want to go back to that day with the memory of deja vu."
He hooked Jiang Juan's neck, hugged him tightly, and kissed him deeply.
Lingering for a long time, still inseparable.
Reflected by the sky full of stars, Xiao Shi's deep eyes seemed to be dotted with stars, and he muttered: "Back... to the day when you gave me my home."
"...idiot." Jiang Juan said softly, pulling off his hand to cover his eyes, "Don't make me cry..."
Hot tears slid down the back of Xiao Shi's hand, along the curve of his arm, and were dried by the night wind before Xiao Shi caught it.
"Don't cry," he hugged Jiang Juan and said, "My heart will hurt."
"The wine that day was actually nothing special." Jiang Juan said in a hoarse voice, "It's a small bottle of Jiang Xiaobai, with a low alcohol content. I remember you said that you don't like drinking, and you don't like any kind of wine. Melted some honey into the bottom of the cup. When I went to find you, I saw that the sweet-scented osmanthus was blooming in the garden, so I grabbed a handful and threw it in. I didn't expect you to like it so much."
Xiao Shi took his hand and kissed lightly on the back of his hand, "I like it, I like it very much."
"Then this year..."
Jiang Juan choked for a moment, his pupils trembled to avoid Xiao Shi's gaze, and turned back when the man pinched his chin.
"What about this year?"
"I want to say... This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, we will also go to pick osmanthus in the forest together, and come back to go to the bar."
"Okay!"
"But I'm afraid I'll miss the appointment."
Jiang Juan lowered his head, thinking that this escape was not enough, so he simply closed his eyes.
"I have made many promises with the people I care about, but in the end I couldn't realize them. I am destined to regret for the rest of my life, so what I fear most is hopeless promises. Do not do to others what you don't want. I can't let you and me Same."
"No, I want your agreement, even if it fails to come true, I won't blame you."
Xiao Shi sat up and faced him face to face, so that he could clearly see his sincerity.
"But you promise me that since you have an agreement with me, you will work hard to realize it, okay? I promise not to blame you or hate you, as long as we all try our best to realize it, even if it is not satisfactory in the end, we will not regret it. "
Jiang Juan was a little moved, "...Really?"
"Of course, we pull the hook!"
Under the moonlight, the little fingers of the two hooked up, and they could feel each other's warmth.
Jiang Juan disliked that Xiao Shi was still playing child's tricks, but he felt honored for this promise in his heart.
Thank God for giving them a chance to let go of the regrets of those ten years. This may be the only redemption in a lifetime.
"Xiao Shi, how much did you drink?"
"Not many, people are not confused yet, I can drink with you to your heart's content."
"Then drink some more. It is said that men can't do that kind of thing when they are drunk. I want to test whether this rumor is true or not."
Xiao Shi was not drunk, but his mind was a little dull, he slowly realized the meaning of these words, and threw Jiang Juan onto the bedroom floor.
"I can't tell whether you want it or not. The sound is nice, and it will make you comfortable tonight."
"...No, Brother Zhu and Brother Xie are still downstairs."
"They can't hear you. You don't like to make noise. As long as I keep my voice down, they won't notice."
Just hearing this, it is really hard to tell who is up and who is down.
"Then... I still want it."
Jiang Juan stared straight at the cold moonlight shining into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Xiao Shi poked his head into his clothes and sniffed left and right. Does he still have a chance to say no?
It was a tossing night, fierceness and tenderness coexisted, and it was not until dawn that the movement in the room stopped.
Xiao Shi turned over, woke up in a daze, raised his hand to cover Jiang Juan with a quilt, and hugged him tightly from behind.
"I hope that every year in the future, we can be like this, and stay together forever..."
Jiang Juan was fast asleep and couldn't hear him talking.
But even if he was sober, he probably wouldn't reject him.
This cunning man deliberately lowered the temperature of the air conditioner, making Jiang Juan unconsciously curl up in his arms.
It's such a quiet time...
Not long after falling into this sweet dream, the two were woken up by the disturbing alarm clock.
The drowsy Xiao Shi could only crawl to the foot of the bed, pressed the alarm with deep resentment, and threw the phone back on the ground.
He moaned miserably, "Daughter-in-law...is it alright if you don't go to work?"
Jiang Juan didn't close his eyes the night before, and didn't close his eyes until dawn this morning. He didn't have the strength to get up at the moment, and said weakly: "...please take a leave first, let's talk after getting enough sleep...otherwise I will die suddenly in the Serving the people on the front line.”
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"What kind of animal are you? It's a waste of energy not to go to the production team to pull the cart."
"... Tired boy, are you praising me?"
"……Um."
The two exchanged a few words in sleep, and when Xiao Shi climbed back to bed, they both fell asleep again.
At some point, Jiang Juan said in a daze, "...I feel so guilty."
"What?" Xiao Shi wanted to see if he was dreaming again, but he was too sleepy to open his eyes, so he pulled him into his arms, "...what's wrong?"
"For so many years, this is the first time I skipped work."
Jiang Juan yawned and finally regained consciousness.
Looking out the window, it was just dawn, but it was not too late.
"Is it too late to get up and go to work?"
"How can there be such a conscientious social animal like you, Tired Cub, you really touched China."
Xiao Shi also regained his energy, slowly got up, reached out and fumbled for the phone under the bed.
"But I don't allow it. Don't go anywhere today. Just stay at home and make up for the lack of sleep. I'll call Jiang Xun to ask for leave..."
He patted the ground a few times but couldn't find the phone, and finally got annoyed, "Forget it, I can't find it, you'd better go to sleep, and if Jiang Xun calls later, I'll..."
Before he could finish speaking, the life-threatening bell rang again.
Xiao Shi was so sleepy that he wanted to vomit, and he didn't have a good temper. After answering the phone, he said fiercely to the opposite side: "What is it that has to be quarreled in the morning! Do you understand the work and rest of grown men?"
"...I don't understand."
The person on the other end obviously didn't expect him to be so angry, and was not prepared at all.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, sober up! Something happened!"
Jiang Xun's voice was so loud that even Jiang Juan, who closed his eyes and meditated, could hear clearly, and got up, "What's the matter? What's the situation?!"
"Two bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Xiao Shi blasted Mao and howled into the microphone: "It's all bad news, so why not choose a fart! Hurry up and give it a good time!"
"... Oh. Last night, oh no, it should be said that Chen Qing ran away from the hospital in the early morning of this morning. We have sent people to search, but we haven't found him yet, but he should not go far. "
Jiang Juan jumped up on the spot when he heard this, "Is there another bad news?"
"We found a business card from Wu Hui's dormitory. Judging from the contact information and company position, it was a deceased employee of Ye's company. We suspect that this person is likely to be related to Wu Hui's transaction on the day of the incident. By the way Following this clue, Di Zhen found the employee's former residence, which was a small western-style building in Third Street. Unfortunately, when we arrived, it had already been turned into ruins."
"……What did you say?"
"It was a deliberate arson." Jiang Xun said, "There is a large amount of combustion accelerant left at the scene. Because the roadway is blocked, fire trucks cannot drive in. The fire spread quickly and caused casualties. Regarding this matter, I have some questions that need to be met face to face. ask you."
Jiang Xun is impatient, and the opponent is Jiang Juan, so he didn't bother to beat around the bush, and blurted out immediately: "Some witnesses said that the arsonist was a sick young man with a height of 1.8 meters and a 1.9 who was close to [-] meters. Xiao Shi?"
Jiang Juan: "..."
Xiao Shi: "..."
The two rushed to the branch office at the speed of light. Jiang Juan saw Jiang Xun and lowered the window of the car before he even parked. Not to be outdone, he looked at the ruffian man outside with his hands in his trouser pockets and a cigarette in his pocket.
"I'm curious why the other party described a sick man with a height of more than 1.8 meters and a 1.9 who is close to [-] meters. You would think that these two idiots are me and Xiao Shi. There should be many sick yangzi and [-] who can be friends in this world. Right? Two hundred and fifty is fine, why does the sick man want to accurately target me?"
"That's something you have to ask yourself."
Jiang Xun took a few quick steps, reached into the car window and pressed Jiang Juan's shoulder, then patted the car door on his side, "Why did this car appear near the scene at that misleading time before the incident that day? ? Jiang, how many things are you hiding from me?"
Jiang Juan, who came to the door to inquire about the crime, was choked and had nothing to say, and was dragged down by Jiang Xunsheng, and began to play badly, "I don't know, don't ask me, I don't know."
Jiang Xun pointed at Song Yuzhi, who was whispering to Yuan Yu next to him, "Come over and look at Xiao, park the car and let him go in to find me. If you let him run away, I will definitely make you cry tonight."
Yuan Qin was dumbfounded, "...are you guys so exciting at night?"
Song Yuzhi covered his face and said, "Forget it, it's better not to let you know the truth."
Just like that, Jiang Juan was stuffed into the small dark room by Jiang Xun. As soon as the door was locked and the lights were turned on, Jiang Xun stood in front of Jiang Juan and slapped the table with both hands.
"Be lenient when confessing, and strict when resisting. Ah Juan, explain to me what you did in Third Street the day before yesterday? It was the most important time to investigate the zombie case. You left the band and left the crowd outside the stadium alone. What does it mean to just arrest Zhou Xuan and put your head on your head? Is there any important matter that is worth letting go of the murder just happened? What is going on with you now!"
The nickname is still on the mouth, but the attitude is irresistible.
Jiang Juan knew that Jiang Xun was in a hurry this time.
He sighed and apologized quite self-consciously: "I'm sorry."
This forced Jiang Xun to swallow the words temporarily, choking and coughing.
"what happened?"
Jiang Xun restrained his thorns, took a chair and sat in front of Jiang Juan, with his knees against him, waiting for his answer.
Jiang Juan had no choice but to tell him about Ye Mingxiao's entrustment to investigate Ji Yin, and of course, cut out the most important part.
Regarding the details of meeting Ka Suo, he also processed it artistically, saying that the light was too dark, he did not see the other party's face, and because he found that the other party was holding a dangerous weapon, he took Xiao Shi and ran away in a hurry.
Jiang Xun tugged at his hair and rumpled it into a mess, "I did find some messy footprints at the scene, and you and Xiao Shi wore the shoes of the day to check the traces, so as not to misjudge."
He muttered again: "It's not your character to run away when you find a dangerous person. Ah Juan, is there something else you're hiding from me?"
Jiang Juan was taken aback.
After his reminder, Jiang Juan realized that this was indeed the case.
If he hadn't brought Xiao Shi with him that day, even if he found out that Ka Suo was also in that house, he would definitely fight to the death with his life.He dare not say it elsewhere, but on his own territory, he has the confidence.
But he did the exact opposite that day, after all...
"Because of Xiao Shi." Jiang Juan said calmly, "I have to protect him. I have to bring him back no matter how I bring him out. Otherwise, I'm sorry bro..."
Jiang Xun covered his mouth before he finished speaking, "You are the one who is sorry. Stop using Jiang Zhu as an excuse. Is it so difficult to admit that you care about him?"
Jiang Xun got up, walked slowly to the door, and said: "I don't know what kind of grievances and grievances there are between you to make this happen, but I can't bear to see you deceiving yourself, torturing yourself, and making a fuss about yourself like this." Ah Juan, it is not easy to meet the right person in this life. You have been flying for so long, and it is time to miss the warmth of your family nest. Even if you want to take off again, you should take care of your chronic illness first. Otherwise, this time, there may be no return date."
He opened the door and went out, and then changed his face and shouted: "Xiao Yuzi! Bring me Xiao Shi! What shoes did you wear to the scene that day? Is it this pair? Hurry up and check the two footprints to match Yes, or I'll arrest you both!"
"It's gone." Xiao Shi yawned and brought a pair of slippers with his eyes covered with bruises, "Jianzi, you have a good rest, I'll help you send the shoes over."
"Pull it down, you are naked too, I have something to tell you two. Old Yuan! Come and help me!"
Jiang Xun picked off their shoes with his backhand, pressed Xiao Shi next to Jiang Juan, took out his tablet and drew a red circle on the electronic map.
"I'm not an outsider, so I'll just say it. Yesterday at three o'clock in the morning, a bungalow in the third street caught fire. You should know that the streets are chaotic and the fire exits are blocked by sundries and rubbish. The fire trucks couldn't get in, which delayed the best time for rescue, and the fire spread rapidly, affecting the houses here."
Jiang Xun drew a few more yellow circles on the map, "The wind was blowing from the northeast that day, so the fire was burning to the southwest. Fortunately, the few houses closest to the fire started were unoccupied a long time ago. These old people The house has a lot of debris and is flammable. It can’t be extinguished without a high-pressure water gun. It’s late at night, and all the victims have lost consciousness because of excessive inhalation of harmful gases. This arson case resulted in one victim The three victims are still receiving treatment in the hospital, and one of them, a middle-aged man in his 60s, provided the testimony of 'sick young man' and 'two hundred and five'."
Xiao Shi looked at the location marked on the map, "Wait, this road seems to be the one we walked that day..."
"So, the person who provided the testimony is the one..." Jiang Juan turned his head away, "For this witness, 'sick young man' and 'two hundred and five' are both compliments to us...how is he doing?"
Jiang Xun said: "Inhaled carbon monoxide, a little lack of oxygen, now the situation has stabilized. Fortunately, he lived far away, opened the window to ventilate at night, and slept lightly. When he found something wrong, he immediately called the police. The old man insisted The arsonist is the outsider you two face to face, he is the only witness who seems to have witnessed the suspect, do you have any explanation for this?"
Xiao Shi was furious when he heard this, "Does this need to be explained! We are not murdering and setting fire to investigate the clues, it is impossible to do such a thing!!"
"Mainly..." Jiang Xun's tone was a little weak, and he looked at Jiang Juan repeatedly, "Your family is indeed capable of murder and arson, and may have a criminal record. I have to be careful."
"What criminal record! Don't slander him! I will testify for him, absolutely nothing!!"
Jiang Xun stomped his feet in annoyance, "Who cares about your troubles! Correct your attitude! Now it's just me to understand the situation, and the situation is not that serious. Don't wait for the superiors to find out and send leaders to Xingshi to question you! Otherwise, you Getting involved in the case over and over again, even I can't cover you! Can you understand!"
This time Xiao Shi calmed down, he was kicked by Jiang Xun, and he responded eagerly.
"Also, as far as the relationship between the two of you is concerned, no matter what testimony you provide, it's not worth referring to. Even if something happens, you won't be able to stop him even if you have the best skills, so you will watch him closely in the future! You know Is it gone!!"
Jiang Xun couldn't hold back, and hit Xiao Shi a few more times, forcing the latter to hide behind Jiang Juan.
"Daughter-in-law, look, look at him..."
"Stop it."
Jiang Juan raised his hand between the two of them, pushed the barefooted Xiao Shi behind him, and let him slump softly behind him.
"Has the identity of the victim who died in the fire been identified? Also, why did Chen Qing run away?"
"Oh, it's a long story." Jiang Xun sat down, "Last night, Chen Qing took medicine and fell asleep as usual, and the policeman guarding him didn't notice anything unusual. I didn't eat, and in the dead of night
