At around nine o'clock in the morning, the bureau received a call to the police. A woman was found dead in a rental house in a building near Bailuzhou.

Xia Huai didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so she followed Lou Jing to the scene of the crime.

The deceased was a young woman. It had been two or three days since she died. The body was dumped in the bathtub. The blood in the pool gave off a stench, attracting flies flying everywhere.The cause of death of the deceased was excessive blood loss caused by a ruptured artery. The wound was on the left wrist, and the murder weapon was the knife in her right hand.

Their captain, Yi Qingjue, walked into the bathroom and looked at the corpse twice, not much, and then went out to check other places.

This building is located in a prosperous area in the city center, and the rent is at least [-] a month.The deceased had a good standard of living and was an unmarried pregnant woman. There was a medical record from a mental hospital on the bedside table in the master bedroom, chat records of quarreling and breaking up with her boyfriend in her mobile phone, and comments that appeared to be "suicide notes" in her circle of friends.

Yi Qingjue spent half an hour checking around in the suite, and then made a judgment: "Suicide. The case can be closed after all the reports are released." Leave the rest to the deputy team, and Yi Qingjue will return to the bureau up.

This type of suicide incidents emerge in endlessly. In a big city like Haidao City where young people gather and the pace of life is tight, it is not new that two to 300 people will commit suicide within a year, and more than 100 people will succeed in suicide.

Xia Huai's mentality also gradually became numb and flat from the curiosity and fear when she saw the crime scene for the first time.

All things in this society are increasing in price, but life is getting cheaper and cheaper in people's eyes, and people can get rid of it if they don't want it.

After closing the team, Lou Jing put his arm on Xia Huai's shoulder and said, "Let's go buy breakfast, I'm starving to death."

Even though he had only seen such a disgusting corpse and smelled such a rancid smell that irritated his stomach, Lou Jing's appetite was still not affected in the slightest.

He bought two meat buns and handed one to Xia Huai.Xia Huai didn't pick it up and said, "Don't eat, I'll drive."

Although he was used to that kind of scene, he was not strong enough to eat immediately after seeing the corpse.

Lou Jing sat in the passenger seat, swallowed a bun in two mouthfuls, and swallowed two buns in four mouthfuls.Wiping his mouth with a piece of paper, he said naturally: "I took Yin Shun back to my house yesterday to stay temporarily."

Xia Huai asked, "Who?"

"That's it, your nanny's son, Yin Shun."

"Oh, it's good." Xia Huai almost forgot the existence of this person, "How's your personality?"

"It's okay. It's just that the words are a bit straight."

"How straight?"

"Two or three sentences will make my wife so angry that she wants to hit him with a bowl."

"You're still so ignorant at the age of 17?" Xia Huai smiled.

"This kid's temperament is different from that of ordinary young people. It's a bit strange. Fortunately, he is only staying here temporarily, and he hasn't decided on a guardian yet." Lou Jing acted as if he had nothing to say in the previous words, but when it comes to "guardian" With these three words, Lou Jing's eyes on Xia Huai became very meaningful.

Xia Huai quickly understood what he meant: "Are you still thinking about that?"

"It's not something I want to think about, but when I see him, I think of his mother, and when I think of his mother, I think of you, and when I think of you, I think of that."

Xia Huai said helplessly, "Brother Lou, I'm just a non-staff member. I might resign in two years. Can't you ask others for this?"

"You are a special non-staff." Lou Jing flattered him, "How many co-ops can be by Team Yi's side? Do you know that Team Yi likes you, and it's very interesting that you become a regular this year. Once you become a full-time employee, your salary will increase and your benefits will increase, so do you still care about taking care of one more student?"

"Don't embarrass me."

"What embarrassment is it?" Lou Jing dismissed it, "I'm not forcing you, isn't this a special situation? Anyway, it's only a year, and next year he'll be [-] and he should go to college. Then you'll be free again ?"

"It's easy to say, why don't you just let your family take care of you? Your salary is much higher than mine."

"My wife, don't you know what kind of girl? I have a big girl in my family. You are a 17-year-old guy who lives with my parents? Is it plausible? My wife kept nagging me all night last night!" Lou Jing sat up straight and gave Xia Huai analyzed, "It's not a problem to put me there, the orphanage is in short supply, and he is so awkward at his age, even if the orphanage can vacate a room, it will be for younger children.

"He can't live in the police station all the time. It's not a problem to let him go out by himself. It's hard for the civil affairs department to handle it. I'm just arresting you now. I'm just a lobbyist. I don't persuade you. There will be more in the future." If others come to persuade you, you are still annoying. As for you, long-term annoyance is worse than short-term annoyance, just treat it as a good deed to give someone a place to live for a year, and I will do my best to help you if you have difficulties."

Xia Huai pretended to concentrate on driving without responding, her mind was very big.His monthly salary is not much, and he has to support a disabled sister and a mother who is in the hospital.

Although my mother has medical insurance and my sister's government will provide subsidies, I still need a lot of expenses every month.

His current salary can only allow him to maintain a balance of expenses. If another person needs to be supported, his balance must be overturned.It's not that he doesn't want to do this good deed, he's just afraid that the good deed will not be done and will harm others instead.

Lou Jing seemed to see through his mind, heyed, and said, "Stop."

The car stopped on the side of the road, Xia Huai frowned and looked at Lou Jing in confusion.

Lou Jing took out his wallet, took out a large stack of hundred yuan bills from the wallet, and stuffed it into Xia Huai's pocket.

Xia Huai was taken aback, and hurriedly evaded: "What are you doing?!"

"You take it, you take it!" Lou Jing pressed his hand, not letting him return the money, and took the opportunity to persuade him to death, "Listen to me, otherwise, let the child be raised by you first, and then wait After finding his relatives, how about letting them take them away? When you help out children, they will thank you in the future!"

Xia Huai: "..."

Lou Jing: "I will thank you too!"

Xia Huai rubbed the center of her brows, sighed, and finally let go: "That's fine. One year at most, that's what you said."

Seeing that he finally agreed, Lou Jing nodded excitedly: "I said what I said!"

"With this money, you still..."

"Take it! As long as I support him, just treat him nicely." Lou Jing stuffed the money into Xia Huai's pocket and forbade him to take it out again.

Lou Jing said that he would bring someone to Xia Huai today, which made Xia Huai feel even more depressed.

He could imagine what it would be like for a child who had just lost his parents, crying, with red and swollen eyes, dirty tears and snot all over his face.Of course, for such a child, he can understand, sympathize with, and not reject.But he didn't know how to comfort him.

What should he say if he burst into tears while eating?What should he do if he suddenly starts to cry while going to the bathroom?What should he do if he suddenly came to him crying in the middle of the night?Thinking about it, Xia Huai picked up the phone and silently recited "Ten Tips for Comforting People".

Xia Huai lived in an old city with a long history. Most of the buildings in the old city were left over from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. They hadn't been renovated much and looked dilapidated.The house he lives in is a two-story red brick house built by local people decades ago. The landlord lives on the second floor and the first floor is rented to him.

This area used to be a famous funeral area, and it is very gloomy at night. To go home, you have to go through a narrow alley. There is only a big light bulb hanging in the alley, and you can barely see the road. I can't see clearly, and wild cats and dogs don't want to come here.

At 08:30 in the evening, Lou Jing greeted Xia Huai on the phone, and brought him here not long after.

The 17-year-old boy's name is Yin Shun. When he first saw him, compared with Lou Jing's face full of acne, Yin Shun's youthful face gave Xia Huai a bright feeling.

Yin Shun was wearing a blue and white school uniform, carrying a black schoolbag, with a cool and short hair, handsome and tall, the type that girls would like in middle school.However, under this youthful face, there is a mature temperament, and the demeanor is so cold that it seems that the father does not love the mother.

To Xia Huai's surprise, Yin Shun's face was very clean, his eyes were deep and clear, and there was a bit of melancholy that made girls obsessed.No dirty, tear-stained nose, no red eyes from crying.The condition is neither good nor bad, normal as if stretched out.

This child is pitiful to say the least. In the past homicide cases that occurred due to conflicts between husband and wife, either the husband killed the wife, or the wife killed the husband. "Double kill" situation.

It is said that when the incident happened, Yin Shun was taking an exam at school, and was notified of the death of his parents as soon as he left the exam room.In an instant, the whole school knew that he was an orphan.Under such a big stimulus, he can still "tighten" in such a state that is neither bad nor bad. It can be said that his psychological quality is not ordinary tough.

"You will live here from now on. His name is Xia Huai." After bringing him here and making a brief introduction, Lou Jing retired.

Yin Shun glanced at Xia Huai, gave him a look like greeting him, then walked into the room, threw his schoolbag on the sofa, and poured himself a glass of water, without looking unfamiliar at all.

"Adapted pretty quickly." Xia Huai closed the door and sat on the sofa next to Yin Shun, "Did you know that the Bureau would arrange you with me?"

"I didn't know until Officer Lou told me on the way." Yin Shun's tone was so flat that Xia Huai didn't expect it.

Xia Huai felt a little incredulous and said: "Why did you react like this?" Xia Huai was very depressed, and those "comforting skills" that had been memorized over and over again did not come into use, and she was in a panic, "I said, if you really It’s uncomfortable, don’t hold on to it. Things like face are not worth as much as your body, and it won’t be good if it’s broken.”

"What kind of reaction do you think I should have?" Yin Shun looked into his eyes and chuckled, "Cry a lot? Hold your hand and make you call Dad? Or slam the door and say, 'This is not my house '?"

Xia Huai was really taken aback.He couldn't believe that a 17-year-old whose parents had just died not long ago and who was being thrown around like a ball could accept fate so calmly and tease him so nonchalantly.
