Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

Mingtang has been in a bad mood ever since Lingchuan came out of nowhere, and this mood lasted until he arrived at the hotel.

Qiu Shaoyang almost felt that something was wrong with him, and asked with concern: "What happened? You don't look very happy."

Mingtang shook his head, and said to him: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"You don't look like you're okay."

Mingtang smiled to comfort Qiu Shaoyang: "I'm really fine, do you have anything you really want to eat?"

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head: "No, you can order."

Mingtang passed the menu down: "You can order whatever you want, I'll treat you."

Everyone cheered.

Mingtang said to Qiu Shaoyang: "I'll go to the bathroom."

Qiu Shaoyang looked puzzled, he didn't understand why Mingtang told him to go to the bathroom.

After Ming Tang left, Qiu Shaoyang looked at Lu Changfeng, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Ming Tang, wasn't he fine when he left the Municipal Bureau? Did something happen during the short distance from the Municipal Bureau to the hotel?"

Lu Changfeng didn't know how to tell Qiu Shaoyang, he thought for a while and said, "I'm jealous."

"Huh?" Qiu Shaoyang was even more confused: "Who is he jealous of?"

Lu Changfeng said: "Eat the jealousy of the person he likes."

Although it was a bit confusing, Qiu Shaoyang still grasped the point: "Mingtang has someone he likes? Do I know him?"

Lu Changfeng nodded, and said in his heart, not only do you know each other, but you are the person involved.

Qiu Shaoyang thought about it carefully, he knew men, and Mingtang also knew them, it seemed that there were really not many.

First rule out Lu Changfeng, then exclude Tang Yan, Xiao Ding is impossible, Yang Meng is even more impossible, Lan Ning... Lan Ning and Jiang Qiao are somewhat similar, could it be Lan Ning?

Lan Ning felt that someone was staring at him, and when he looked up to meet Qiu Shaoyang's probing gaze, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Why is he jealous?" Qiu Shaoyang asked.

Lu Changfeng said: "Before he was ready to chase the other party, he discovered that the other party had a friend who was suspected to be Bai Yueguang."

Qiu Shaoyang said loudly: "Then you should comfort him more. Since he didn't tell me, he probably was afraid of embarrassment. You tell him, if you like it, chase after him. Don't pay attention to Bai Yueguang or anything else. Be brave emotionally."

Lu Changfeng: "..."

Lu Changfeng's inner OS: You are really a caring little clever ghost, what I said is already very straightforward, can't you see it?

A person who is usually so smart, why isn't he so smart now?

Lu Changfeng asked Qiu Shaoyang: "What kind of person does Consultant Qiu like?"

"Me?" Qiu Shaoyang smiled: "I don't have any special requirements, as long as I get along comfortably, it's fine, let's feel it."

Mingtang came back from the bathroom and asked, "Have you finished ordering all the dishes?"

Lu Changfeng finished speaking.

Mingtang sat down and saw Qiu Shaoyang facing the air outlet, put his hand in front of Qiu Shaoyang for a few seconds, and called Chen Yanjia: "Turn the air outlet upwards, blowing on the head for a while will catch a cold."

Chen Yanjia said oh, and did as Mingtang said.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "It's okay, it's not very cold."

Mingtang said: "You won't say that when you catch a cold, it's hard to catch a cold in this kind of weather."

Qiu Shaoyang hummed.

Mingtang lifted the teapot, touched the teapot with his hand, it was warm, he poured a cup of hot tea for Qiu Shaoyang.

Qiu Shaoyang said, "Thank you."

Mingtang said: "You are too far-fetched."

Then they began to pour a cup of tea for each of them in turn. Mingtang raised the teacup and said, "I'm going to drive in the evening, so I won't drink. Before the food is served, I'll toast everyone with tea instead of wine." , everyone has worked hard on this case, especially the colleagues in the sub-bureau, thank you very much for your hard work during this time."

Mingtang looked at Jiang Yingjie, who was sitting opposite him, with a very sincere attitude: "Jiang Zhi, I would also like to thank you for taking care of everyone in our Serious Case Brigade. I will offer you a toast with tea instead of wine."

Jiang Yingjie was still very satisfied with Mingtang's attitude, he stood up holding the cup and touched Mingtang in the air, took a sip and sat down.

After Mingtang filled his teacup, he looked at Qiu Shaoyang who was sitting beside him, "The last person I want to thank is our consultant Qiu."

Qiu Shaoyang unprepared Mingtang called his name: "Why is there still my business?"

Mingtang's eyes fell on his face, and he said with a slight smile: "Why is it none of your business? You provided the key point of thinking to solve the case. Otherwise, He Nian might be a corpse. I should be most grateful It’s you who wants us, don’t charge us a penny, don’t take any advantage from us, and unconditionally serve as our adviser, thank you for your help, let me learn a lot from you.”

Hearing these words, Qiu Shaoyang became more and more serious, he quickly stood up and stopped Mingtang's words: "It's too exaggerated, what did I do, all the cases were solved by you yourself, the people who should be thanked the most It's you who is right."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Shaoyang took the initiative to clink some glasses with Mingtang, and made a crisp sound.

Just when the waiter brought the soup and everyone was hungry, the ceremony of toasting ended.

Mingtang took Qiu Shaoyang's bowl and helped him fill a bowl of soup.

"Thank you."

Qiu Shaoyang knew that Mingtang simply wanted to take care of him, but it wasn't particularly suitable for him.He is also a man, so there is really no need for special care.

After this meal, everyone could see that Qiu Shaoyang was very important to Ming Tang, and Qiu Shaoyang himself felt it.

Combined with what Lu Changfeng said before, no matter how stupid he is, he can understand that the person Ming Tang likes to suck snipe is not Lan Ning, but himself.

Mingtang is in a bad mood, it seems that it is because of Lingchuan's appearance.

After thinking about this, Qiu Shaoyang didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, what evil did he do!

Why did you suddenly fall in love with yourself?

He didn't see any signs of it.

In his impression, he probably didn't do anything to misunderstand Ming Tang, everything was within the reasonable scope of making friends.

Ming Tang's feelings made him puzzled.

"Are you going home directly?" Mingtang asked Qiu Shaoyang after paying the bill.

Qiu Shaoyang had just figured out what Ming Tang was thinking, and he was not so quick to accept it, so he nodded.

Mingtang said: "I have to go back to the Municipal Bureau, everyone has been away for too long."

Qiu Shaoyang expressed his understanding: "Drive slowly on the road."

Mingtang nodded, "You too, drive slowly and send me a message when you get home."

Qiu Shaoyang hummed, and after leaving Mingtang and the others, he was going to go home, but at a traffic light intersection, he turned to a bar in Wan Chai.

Among all his friends, Wanzai is definitely the one with the richest love history. Qiu Shaoyang planned to talk to him, but he was upset for several days by being kissed by accident, let alone discovering that Mingtang likes him. After getting past his hurdle, his only choice in the future should be to avoid Mingtang, Qiu Shaoyang doesn't want to treat Mingtang like this.

Walking into the bar in Wanchai, Wanzai was mixing drinks at the bar counter, when he saw Qiu Shaoyang coming, he joked, "What wind brought the prince here."

Qiu Shaoyang has a nickname called Qilin Prince, because he is the prince of Qilin Real Estate.

But Qiu Shaoyang didn't like this title very much, and few people called it, so he only called it when his friends occasionally joked.

Qiu Shaoyang didn't bother to talk, and sat down at the bar.

Seeing his preoccupation, Wan Chai asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Qiu Shaoyang hesitated and said, "I just found out that my friend likes me, and I don't know how to deal with it."

"Ming police officer?" Wan Chai guessed.

Qiu Shaoyang: "..."

Looking at his expression, Wan Chai knew he had guessed right, and said, "It's hard for you to see it now."

"What do you mean?"

Wan Chai sighed: "Why isn't your EQ not directly proportional to your IQ? Just the way he looks at you, it's already very revealing, okay, it's almost like writing the words "I like you" on your face." On, as a gay we are very self-conscious, we will never touch people we don’t like, you see I have such a good relationship with you, when did I kiss you, I would be afraid of making you uncomfortable, so I never have sex with you There is this kind of intimate contact. He is also gay, and although he kissed you subconsciously at the time, I guess he wanted to do it a long time ago."

After listening to Wan Chai's analysis, Qiu Shaoyang felt that it made sense: "So he has liked me for a long time?"

"That's right." Wan Chai poured him a glass of juice, "So, what's the situation with you now, he confessed to you?"

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head: "No."

"Then how do you know?" Wan Chai couldn't help but wonder what happened.

Qiu Shaoyang roughly talked about everything that happened tonight.

"When did Lingchuan come back?"

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head: "I haven't received any news. It was only when we met at the police station today that I found out that he is back."

Wan Chai approached Qiu Shaoyang: "Tell me, did he come back for you?"

In the next second, Wan Chai was grabbed by the collar, pulling the distance between the two of them apart. Needless to say, the person who did it was, of course, the little boyfriend in Wan Chai.

Qiu Shaoyang glanced at his little boyfriend, pointed at Wanzai, and then pointed at himself: "Hey, do you want to be so controlling? Wanzai and I have known each other for almost as long as you are. If we really If there is something, it will be your turn."

"My name is Qin Xiang." Wan Chai's boyfriend said coldly.

Qiu Shaoyang looked at Wan Chai inexplicably.

Wan Chai shrugged helplessly.

Qiu Shaoyang was speechless, and stretched out his hand in compromise: "Hi, I'm a friend from Wanchai, Qiu Shaoyang."

Wan Chai pushed Qin Xiang, "This is my best friend. If you want to be with me, you have to pay attention to them."

Qin Xiang reluctantly shook hands with Qiu Shaoyang: "I know you, you are rich."

Qiu Shaoyang: "...you don't have to be so real."

Qin Xiang withdrew his hand indifferently, and rolled up Wan Chai's loose sleeves.

Qiu Shaoyang didn't intend to argue with him either.

Someone ordered wine, and Qin Xiang went to help mix it.

Qiu Shaoyang asked in a low voice: "Are you serious?"

"That's right. He's still in my probationary period." Wan Chai was a little embarrassed: "Maybe he really is the special one. In short, the feeling of being with him is unprecedented in any previous relationship. If possible, I I also want to settle down."

"So, the flag really shouldn't be set up casually."

Qiu Shaoyang nodded in agreement, thinking that when he and Mingtang went to Zeyang to handle the case, Mingtang also set up a flag, and it didn't take long before the car overturned.

Wan Chai asked, "If you had to choose between Lingchuan and Mingtang, who would you choose?"

Qiu Shaoyang: "Why do we have to choose one of them."

Wan Chai said, "Everyone says if it's up to you, it's over if you don't choose."

"I can't choose." Qiu Shaoyang said: "The two of them have different meanings to me. Mingtang is my good friend, and I get along very comfortably with him. Lingchuan is the object of my heart, but 12 years have passed , you know, 12 years is too long, he doesn't know whether he is single or not, and he didn't show that he likes me back then."

Wan Chai talked softly: "When you went abroad, Lingchuan came back to China and looked for you."

Qiu Shaoyang opened his eyes wide, a little unbelievable: "He...has looked for me?"

Wan Chai nodded: "Yes, he came looking for you, but you had already left the country at that time, and none of us could contact you at that time, but we only knew from your family that you had gone abroad for treatment, so no one told you. you."

Qiu Shaoyang lowered his eyes. For about half a year, he was in a very bad condition and cut off contact with everyone. After the situation stabilized, he slowly started to contact him. So it was probably during that time that Lingchuan approached him. him.

Maybe they really have no destiny, otherwise why would they miss it time and time again.

Qiu Shaoyang took a sip of juice: "I don't know how to face Ming Tang in the future."

"Do you hate him?"

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head: "Do you think I would still be friends with him if I hated him? You are talking nonsense."

Wan Chai pouted: "Then why don't you pretend you don't know anything."

Qiu Shaoyang said: "I can't pretend that I don't know anything."

"Then you just confess to him directly, there is no possibility between you and him."

"But he hasn't told him that he likes me. If I tell him directly, will it be too abrupt?"

"Just say you don't want to, and you can't do it if you pretend you don't know. I don't know what to do if you are like this."

Qiu Shaoyang picked out his ears irritably: "I really don't know what to do, I just want to be friends with him."

Wan Chai said, "Why don't you fall in love, and then he will give up."

Qiu Shaoyang: "Who are you talking to? I don't have anyone I like."

Wanchai: "Lingchuan, it's ready-made."

Qiu Shaoyang: "...I don't even know if I'm single or not. What if Lingchuan has a partner and is married?"

Wan Chai: "This won't work, that won't work, you're hopeless."

Qiu Shaoyang lay on the table: "It's so annoying."

Wan Chai smiled: "It's really time for you to fall in love."

"There is no right or wrong about this thing, only whether you think about it or not, whether it is suitable or not. When you meet the right one, we will naturally talk about it."

Wan Chai said: "Let me tell you, you need to cut the mess quickly with a knife. Your biggest shortcoming is that you are too emotional."

"It can't be changed." Qiu Shaoyang said helplessly.

Wan Chai: "Let's take a step and see. If Mingtang doesn't intend to confess to you, then you can pretend you don't know. If you do, then say something else. Just because you don't like him now doesn't mean you won't like him in the future. Look at me It’s a good example. I used to think that I’ve lived and played all my life, but I fell into the hands of such a child. Love is the most unpredictable thing. If you have time to figure it out, why don’t you help me? See which stock makes money, let me make some money."

Qiu Shaoyang rolled his eyes: "The turnover of your bar is less than 5000 million a year, and your wine business at home is so big, the annual profit should be several hundred million, isn't it enough?"

Wan Chai raised his index finger and shook it left and right: "No, no, no one would think that there is a lot of money, except you, who is worth hundreds of billions."

Wan Chai added: "Don't think I'm vulgar, money is really a very vulgar thing, enjoy life, how can you do without money. I'm gay and have no children. I have to save some money for myself, isn't it true? I can't rely on you to support me."

Qiu Shaoyang thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to support you."

"You can do it, I can't." Wanzai looked at the busy Qin Xiang, and said to Qiu Shaoyang: "I am 12 years behind him, he is still a college student, he has not entered the society, and the temptation around him is not that great. When he enters the society in the future and comes into contact with all kinds of people, and I am already middle-aged and start to face hair loss, beer belly, and wrinkles, I may not be attractive to him anymore, don’t you care less Understand, I liked him very much from the first time I saw him, I really fell into it, the reason why I didn't agree to date him so easily was because I didn't want to give him a feeling that I was easy to chase, even if one day in the future I broke up with him, and I can be decent."

Qiu Shaoyang raised his hand and touched Wan Chai's head.

Wan Chai rubbed his palm and said: "I have never felt so insecure. I am very afraid that one day he will leave me. I am 12 years old. In an era, people say that there is a gap between the three-year-old generation. The relationship between me and him There are four generation gaps."

Wanchai made a gesture: "4, very far away, can't cross. So I need money, in case one day I love him to death, I can use money to attract him, so that he will stay by my side for the rest of his life .”

Suddenly Wanchai's voice stopped abruptly.

He was wrapped in his arms by someone, "So, is this what you've been worried about?"

Wan Chai's face turned red in an instant, he glared at Qiu Shaoyang angrily, and asked him why he didn't tell him that Qin Xiang was behind him.

Wan Chai immediately defended: "No, I was just here to comfort Shao Yang."

"Really?" Qin Xiang hugged Wanzai even tighter: "Wanzai, I like you not because of your money, but because you are you. It is you, not money, that attracts me. Even if one day you are disfigured , become a pauper, I will not leave you, understand?"

Having been said such nasty words in front of Qiu Shaoyang, Wan Chai's face immediately turned red.

Wanchai: "...um."

Qin Xiang gave Wanzai a passionate kiss as if no one was around, and Wanzai had no power to fight back, so he could only let him do whatever he wanted.

Qiu Shaoyang's eyes didn't know where to look: "..."

Good guy, this is here to play Qiong Yao for him.

But at the same time, Qiu Shaoyang could tell that Wan Chai really liked Qin Xiang.

But at present, Qin Xiang did not lie.

So, are couples in love so sticky?He choked to death on the dog food.

Wan Chai was kissed softly, and buried his head on Qin Xiang's neck, panting heavily.

Qiu Shaoyang felt that the two of them should do something later, so he said very perceptively: "It's getting late, so I'll go back first, let's get together another day."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Shaoyang left without giving Wan Chai a chance to keep him.

Wanzai looked at Qiu Shaoyang's back, and gave Qin Xiang a hammer on the back: "You must not do this next time."

"What kind?" Qin Xiang asked knowingly.

Wan Chai said with a blushing face, "Just kissing me with tongue in front of my friend, it's not allowed in the future."

Qin Xiang asked: "Why?"

Wan Chai punched him again: "I'm shy, that's fine, I'm thin-skinned."

Qin Xiang laughed loudly, hugged the man and kissed fiercely again, "It's all up to you."

After speaking, Qin Xiang dragged Wan Chai up to the second floor.

After Qiu Shaoyang walked out of the bar, his phone vibrated suddenly.

He turned on his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Lingchuan.

Lingchuan: [Shaoyang, when are you free, let's get together. 】

Qiu Shaoyang replied: [Tomorrow night. 】

Lingchuan: [Okay, then you choose a place. 】

Qiu Shaoyang: [Okay, I'll send it to you after I've selected it. 】

Lingchuan: 【OK. 】

buzzing-

Mingtang's message popped up on the interface, and Qiu Shaoyang clicked in: [Is there a traffic jam?Why haven't I heard the news of your arrival. 】

Qiu Shaoyang chuckled: [No, I sat in a bar in Wan Chai for a while, and was fed a mouthful of dog food by him. 】

Mingtang: [hug. 】

Qiu Shaoyang originally wanted to return a hug, but considering other factors, he did not reply, but sent a text message: [I am driving home now. 】

Mingtang: 【Alright, be careful on the road. 】

Qiu Shaoyang: [Yes. 】

For a moment, in the same city, three people stared at the chat interface on their mobile phones in a daze.

Mingtang and Lingchuan, both of them sent new messages.

Who should I reply to first?Qiu Shaoyang fell into a tangle.

Lingchuan sent another message, Qiu Shaoyang clicked on Lingchuan's message, and Lingchuan sent a photo.

It's a photo taken when they went out to play.

They were sixteen or seventeen years old in the photo, full of vitality.

There is still a big difference from now.

Lingchuan: 【I keep them at home, do you still have yours? 】

Qiu Shaoyang: [Yes, they are all here. If you want to see them, I will bring them to Mingtang. 】

Lingchuan: [Okay, I lost the copy I took abroad when I moved, and I can't find it. 】

Qiu Shaoyang: [That's a pity.It's okay, I still have some, just wash it out and give it to you when the time comes. 】

Lingchuan: [I can't ask for it. 】

And Mingtang leaned against the bed in the office, looking at the phone that hadn't been answered, feeling a little lost.

It might be inconvenient for Qiu Shaoyang to go back while driving, so he comforted himself.

Lu Changfeng came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Are you still thinking about Qiu Shaoyang's long-lost friend?"

Mingtang nodded: "It's sort of, but it's not all."

Lu Changfeng said: "Don't think about it, you are the one who is troubled by thinking too much."

"You're right." Ming Tang reached for his trouser pocket, but couldn't find what he wanted.

Lu Changfeng handed him his own, and Mingtang glanced at the cigarette case, then shook his head: "Forget it, stop smoking, he doesn't like it."

"It turns out that he doesn't smoke because he doesn't like it." Lu Changfeng smiled: "I thought you wanted to take care of your health."

Mingtang smiled helplessly, and asked him: "Has the house next door to yours been sold?"

Lu Changfeng said, "Not yet, do you want to buy a house?"

Ming Tang hummed: "Buying a house, I want to have a home."

Lu Changfeng said: "Then let me ask the price for you."

"Then thank you in advance."

Lu Changfeng let out a hey: "What can I thank you for, it's just a matter of little effort."

"How are you and Jing Jue?" Ming Tang asked.

Lu Changfeng smiled wryly: "What else, he didn't contact me, and I didn't contact him either."

Mingtang comforted: "Father and son don't have any overnight feud."

Lu Changfeng rolled his eyes: "I'm not his father, and I don't have a son like him. He is about to reach adulthood, and the guardianship rights will be automatically lifted when he becomes an adult. If he doesn't want me to take care of him, then forget it. very tired."

Mingtang patted him on the shoulder to show his comfort, and it was not for him to interfere in this matter.
