Madness of the Heart

Under the golden light, the dark brown crock is oily and smooth.Ming Shu sat on one side of the dining table, grasping the edge of the table with both hands, pursing his lips, staring at him, staring intently at Xiao Yuan opposite him——

"Does it hurt to stare so big?" Xiao Yu'an held the bowl towel in his right hand and was about to lift the lid of the crock.

"Are you showing in slow motion?" Ming Shu said dissatisfiedly, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Xiao Yu'an simply put down the bowl towel.

"Tell you to hurry up, but you don't even do slow motion?" Ming Shu shouted angrily, "Brother!"

"It's not that I don't want to rush, it's that it's a bit empty here." Xiao Yu'an pointed to his chest.

Mingshu shouted: "I made soup, what are you talking about?"

"It is precisely because this is the soup you made that I am worthless." Xiao Yu'an smiled and said, "Do the math, how many times have you spoiled the soup? I am under a lot of pressure."

Mingshu reached out and was about to lift the lid, "I should be under a lot of pressure! You are a big ghost! Ouch——"

The earthen jar was put on the stove and burned. It was just brought out, and the lid had not cooled down yet.

Ming Shu grabbed the lid impatiently, before his fingertips touched it, Xiao Yuan hit the back of his hand.

"Hot." Xiao Yu'an said as he picked up the bowl towel again, with a "clang", the lid was lifted, and the hot air instantly turned into white mist, rising under the warm-toned light.

Mingshu rubbed the back of his hands, and scooped up a bowl impatiently, "Taste it!"

Xiao Yu'an took it, "Do you know why you spoiled the soup, am I stressed? Because I not only have to drink them, but also pretend that they are not bad."

Mingshu's eyelids twitched violently, "Xiao Yu'an! Are you the one who mocks your boyfriend like this?"

Xiao Yu'an smiled, trying to make a gesture.

Mingshu held his breath immediately, as if he was the one drinking the soup.

What has been simmering in the crock all afternoon is pea rib soup, fresh ribs plus a few pieces of cured ribs from home to enhance the taste.Before Xiao Yuan came back from get off work, he did almost nothing, just guarded the crock pot, stirred it from time to time, and accepted the video guidance from his sister Xiao Jinlan. All kinds of seasonings were put in small spoons. He Mingshu will bid farewell to the business of "house husband" from now on.

Xiao Yu'an put down the bowl with a smile in his eyes.

"Don't just laugh!" Ming Shu gave a "thump" in his heart.He stewed lotus root soup the day before yesterday, and Xiao Yuan also laughed after tasting it.He thought he was right in Xiao Yu'an's heart, but Xiao Yu'an told him: "The lotus root is very good, and the meat is also good, but the chef may have dozed off during the operation."

"The chef didn't doze off today." Xiao Yuan said, "The chef should try it himself."

Mingshu's eyes lit up, "In other words, the taste is not bad?"

Xiao Yu'an nodded, "It's the best performance since I became the 'house husband'."

Mingshu was satisfied now, and scooped four scoops into his sea bowl - at home, his bowl was bigger than Xiao Yu'an's, Xiao Yu'an's bowl was normal size, and his was a sea bowl.

To be honest, this soup is not very tasty. Compared with Xiao Yuan's craftsmanship, it is far behind.But when it comes to cooking, Ming Shu is strict with others and treats himself leniently. As long as Xiao Yu'an doesn't say it's unpalatable, he thinks it's almost okay.

Besides, he didn't know how to cook any dishes before, so it's amazing for a novice to learn this level!

"How are your legs today?" Xiao Yuan asked while washing the dishes.

Ming Shu leaned against the wall of the kitchen, and slightly lifted his right leg, "It hurts occasionally, and it's still a little itchy. It's okay to go to the bureau next week."

There were bowls waiting to be washed in the sink, Xiao Yuan's sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, his wrists were wet, and his wrist bones looked strong and stylish.

In the past, cooking belonged to Xiao Yu'an and washing dishes belonged to Ming Shu.Recently, Mingshu injured his leg. After he was discharged from the hospital, he was recuperating at home. For the first time in many years, he took a long vacation. He couldn’t go to the bureau, couldn’t get busy with the case, and became an [-]th-line "house husband". The mood is passing.

Xiao Yu'an was right, even though Liang Chao shouldered half of the pressure of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he still needed to preside over many tasks.Xun Xiaoyun was shot by Mingshu in the chest. The shot was tricky and did not hurt the vitals. Xun Xiaoyun recovered his life in the hospital. Facing physical witnesses, after a long interrogation, he finally confessed to the crime he committed. .

One case is closed, but more cases involved in it are yet to be further investigated.

Although He Yang and Yin Zhen had already died under Xun Xiaoyun's blade of revenge, the victims who died at their hands still need to be verified one by one.The special operations team decided not long ago to dig into similar "bug games" across the country, and never condone the crimes of the criminals because of their backgrounds and identities.

After a long period of psychological treatment, Hu Ying's situation stabilized, and she officially confessed that she killed Sheng Zhi in He Yang's game, becoming an important witness.At that time Mingshu was still in the hospital, and he came to visit Mingshu accompanied by the criminal police. His facial features were still the same as in the past, but the radiant star aura of the past had disappeared from him, but in contrast, his eyes had more eyes. The vitality of ordinary people.

"Thank you." He bent down, his voice was low and trembling, as if he was finally relieved, "I am responsible for everything I have done and accept all the punishments I deserve. After this, I want to take my Sister's share, Sheng Zhi's share, start a new life and live seriously."

After leaving Mingshu, the serious crime team was in chaos for a few days, and all work gradually returned to the right track.Fang Yuanhang, Xu Chun, and Yi Fei were temporarily transferred to the special operations team because they were familiar with the He Yang case. part of the case team.

"Go in and sit down." Xiao Yuan put the washed bowls on the desk and wiped the water on his hands, "The doctor said you can't stand all the time."

"The doctor also said that I should receive an appropriate amount of massage every day." Mingshu smiled, meaning.

Xiao Yu'an said, "What day of massage are you missing?"

Mingshu said: "Today."

The TV in the living room was on, with the volume turned down very low.The "family cook" who has been busy all day is holding a tablet and guarding the live broadcast room of "Yun Yun Zhong Sheng", eating sliced ​​yellow peaches and buying those little things that are not practical.

Xiao Yuan was massaging his gunshot leg.

"Brother, open your mouth." Ming Shu didn't forget to feed peaches to Xiao Yu'an while shopping. This box of yellow peaches was bought while he was watching the live broadcast. Half of them were eaten directly, and the other half were canned in syrup.

Xiao Yu'an took it and asked, "What did you see again?"

"How about this pot?" Mingshu said, "I want to change our pot."

Xiao Yu'an said, "It's not necessary to change it, but you can buy it."

"This sentence doesn't make sense." Mingshu said in a tone of analyzing the case: "Since there is no need to replace the pot, why buy it? It's a waste of money."

"Because you want to buy it." Xiao Yu'an said: "The important thing is not whether to change the pot, but whether you are happy."

"Oh!" Mingshu immediately placed the order, "Brother, you are afraid that you want to make me a prodigal son."

Xiao Yu'an pinched his leg gently, "You don't need to train, you are already."

Mingshu retracted his legs, "Don't squeeze them anymore."

Xiao Yu'an stood up, leaned closer, sank, and pressed his hands on the back of the sofa, completely enclosing Mingshu in the shadows.

Mingshu flinched, "What are you doing? You're blocking my light!"

"It suddenly occurred to me that someone disobeyed the leader's order and acted without authorization." Xiao Yu'an narrowed his eyes, with a slightly dangerous look in his eyes.

"I can't help it." Ming Shu knew what Xiao Yuan was referring to. At that time in Xiangshan City, Xun Xiaoyun suddenly appeared. Although Xiao Yuan had warned him in advance to stay in the city bureau and not act rashly until the backup arrived, but he Regardless of his own safety, he tried his best to catch up.

Being able to save Xiang Lin and finally arrest Xun Xiaoyun was due to his well-prepared and strong strength, but at the same time there was also an element of luck.

If he failed to subdue all the mercenaries in that gun battle, if the bullet that hit his leg hit a bone or an artery, if Xiao Yuan failed to arrive in time, if any of the three of them made a mistake during the bomb disposal, the consequences would be serious. All bets are lost.

"You also said that in that situation at that time, someone had to catch up." Ming Shu took a light breath, "I was there, and I had to act."

"En." Xiao Yu'an's voice was mellow, and the dark light in his eyes changed quietly.Mingshu saw himself in his eyes.

"You did the right thing. But I still feel angry and I don't want to forgive you easily." Xiao Yu'an said: "Because you are not only my subordinate, but also my partner."

The end of Mingshu's eyes trembled, his heart hung up, and he was held gently again.

"Sense and emotion coexist, but they contradict each other." Xiao Yuan moved his right hand away from the back of the sofa, and stroked Mingshu's cheek, just like that day when he was on the roof of the abandoned building, full of passion and anger.

Mingshu closed his eyes slightly, rubbed against the rough palm, turned his face, and kissed the tiger's mouth, "I understand."

Xiao Yuan moved his fingers from his cheeks to his chin, and then pinched his chin.

Eyes intertwined gently, getting closer and closer, Ming Shu raised his neck, kissed Xiao Yu'an's lips, almost breathlessly said: "Brother, you can punish me."

Xiao Yuan smiled indulgently and hugged him.

Before officially returning to work, Mingshu went to see a psychiatrist.

He thought he had no psychological problems, but Xueba Wuxin's words made him somewhat mindful.

"You can only see people who are stronger than you, and you will not look back at those who are chasing you."

No matter when he was in college or in the past one or two years, he never paid attention to Xun Xiaoyun.When I was free for a while, there were more things to think about.He gradually became confused, wondering whether his character and unintentional actions had hurt the people around him.

The psychiatrist said that he could try to communicate with his colleagues.

"Xiao Ming!" Fang Yuanhang had finished his work in the Special Operations Team, and came back with Yi Fei and Xu Chun, almost rushing to give Mingshu a bear hug when he returned.

However, he ran too close, thinking about the "wonderful" relationship between his master and Xiao Ju, he quickly "reined in" and forcefully withdrew his outstretched hand.

Ming Shu took a look at his apprentice, "Are you used to calling me 'Xiao Ming'?"

Fang Yuanhang laughed and laughed, "That's right, I went to the special operations team this time, and I heard them say 'Xiao Ming', and my heart is very kind."

Mingshu wanted to kick Fang Yuanhang, but Fang Yuanhang ran away all at once.

He had just returned, and he didn't have much to do. Mingshu signed a few documents that required him to check all morning, and sat in his office to observe his team members.After the serious crime team finished their investigation, they even went to trace inspection, forensic medicine, and technical investigation for a walk.

Zhou Yuan is so in love that he is still drinking strawberries and peaches.Xing Mu muttered, "Leaders are never reassuring", and then stuffed an amulet that was said to have been consecrated into Ming Shu's hand.Xiao Man originally wanted to ask him to go to the lounge to smoke a cigarette, to share the psychology of an older single man, but thinking that he had just been injured, it would be best not to smoke, so he postponed this historic conversation again.

When he returned to the serious crime team, Mingshu looked at Yifei, hesitant to speak.

His deputy captain is going to get married in the second half of the year, and his partner is the female criminal policeman from the Dongcheng branch.

Without saying what he wanted to say, Mingshu walked to his seat.

Not long after, Yi Fei came over by himself, "Did you want to say something to me just now?"

Mingshu said: "I was thinking, what a red envelope I have to give you when you get married."

Yi Fei smiled and raised his hand, "Go out to take a breath?"

The weather is hot, but not to the point of scorching sun. There is wind on the terrace, the sun is about to set, and the golden light is sprinkled in every corner of the city.

Ming Shu looked in the direction of the special police team, and happened to see Lu Yanzhou training the new special police officers. The playground was roaring and full of energy.

Back then, he also came here like this.

"Xiao Ming." Yi Fei said, "You have something on your mind. Something is wrong when you come back from Xiangshan City. When I visited you in the hospital last time, I wanted to ask, what's wrong?"

Mingshu took a long breath, remained silent for a long time, put away his usual joking tone, "I...have I ever made you think that I am not a competent captain?"

Yi Fei said: "Why do you think so?"

Mingshu thought about it for a while, and told Yi Fei about Xueba's evaluation and his thinking when he was recuperating, with a rare confusion in his eyes, "Maybe because I am the person involved, so I have always been blocked for a while."

"Come on, Xiao Ming." Yi Fei pushed Mingshu's shoulder and pointed to his face, "Can you see me?"

Mingshu smiled helplessly, "I'm not blind."

"You can see me, and you can also see your disciples, Xu Chun, Zhou Yuan, Xing Mu, Xiao Man, and Xiang Tao." Yi Fei said seriously: "Aren't we all your pursuers? How can we say you Can't see who's chasing you?"

Mingshu opened his mouth, and the light in his eyes moved.

"When your classmate said that, I think he was talking about you when you were in college. Isn't it normal? Who doesn't look like 'I am the best in the world' in their early twenties?" Yi Fei said: "As for Xun Xiaoyun You don't have to care about those fallacies."

"I'm not as talented and aura as you are. I'm destined not to be able to lead the crime team alone. Just like Team Liang, I have insurmountable limitations." Yi Fei said again: "I..."

Mingshu interrupted: "You are not."

"No, Xiao Ming, don't interrupt, listen to me." Yi Fei continued: "I sometimes feel reconciled, but I'm never ashamed of it. On the contrary, I know that my strengths can help you better coordinate The work of the serious crime team."

Mingshu nodded slightly, "Yes."

"Isn't that right?" Yi Fei said with a smile: "You have seen me, and you have also seen my role. Next, your apprentice Fang Yuanhang, you discovered his potential early in the morning, he was almost brought out by you , Did you see him? If you say you don’t see him, he will be angry with you.”

Mingshu smiled, "That's true."

"Da Xu, he did a good job on the special police side, but his ability can be maximized on our criminal investigation side. Did you poach him?"

"Zhou Yuan. This kid has low self-esteem because he is not a genius. Who told him that he is an indispensable member of the serious crime team? Xiao Ming, it is you who made Zhou Yuan no longer feel inferior."

Mingshu looked into the distance, the gloom in his heart was gradually dissipating.

"The same goes for Xiao Man and Teacher Xing." Yi Fei said, "Xiao Man is a bit rebellious. Teacher Xing hates leaders, so Xiao Man will obey you, let alone Teacher Xing."

"Xiao Ming, the one who couldn't see the chaser was you when you were studying, but now you have everyone on your team in your eyes."

Mingshu held the railing with both hands, a light blue tendon appeared on the back of his hand, and said for a long time: "I even learned psychological counseling, I really can't do without you on the team."

Yi Fei squinted at the setting sun, "That is."

It is rare for the serious crime team not to work overtime. Fang Yuanhang hummed a song to pack his things, and a voice message came in from his mobile phone. After listening to it, he hurriedly said, "Here we come, we wait!"

Mingshu shouted: "Come back."

Fang Yuanhang was shocked, "Xiao Ming, isn't there, there is a case?"

Ming Shu said: "There is no case. Why are you in a hurry?"

"Scared me." Fang Yuanhang wiped off his sweat, "Bring friends to dinner."

"Yu Dalong?"

"Master's ingenious plan!"

Mingshu waved his hand, "Go ahead, it's time for you to treat Yu Dalong to dinner."

Fang Yuanhang grabbed his hair and smiled, "Then I'm leaving, see you tomorrow!"

Everyone retreated one after another, but Mingshu didn't leave in a hurry, he took a long time to pack his things, and then fell asleep on the table.

He heard familiar footsteps in the corridor, but he didn't raise his head immediately.

Footsteps approached and stopped by the table.

"Ming team." Xiao Yuan said softly, "Go home."

Mingshu opened his eyes and stretched his waist, "There is no 'Boyfriend Brand' hot soup to drink tonight."

Xiao Yu'an said, "Congratulations on your return, let's go out to eat tonight."

The car was parked in the business district where I was on duty on New Year's Eve, and the hands that I couldn't hold during the New Year's Eve fireworks show were finally held together.Mingshu used to only go to restaurants where there was no queue when eating alone, but now he always likes to pick places with more than ten tables.

Anyway, Xiao Yuan was with him.

The restaurant behind them was booming in business and crowded with people. Standing on the platform with a wide view, the two chatted without saying a word. They talked about trivial matters at home, Xiao Jincheng who was alive and kicking after recovering from injury, and about the special operations team targeting the "bug game". "The large-scale investigation operation finally settled down to the police situation in Dongye City.

Mingshu said, "Brother, I want to ask you a question."

Xiao Yuan turned his head, "Huh?"

"In the year since you came to Dongye City, you have contributed a lot to every case, and the work efficiency of the serious crime team has improved a lot." Mingshu said, "Occasionally I feel that you were transferred here to help me. Investigate."

Xiao Yu'an turned the person around, and his eyes met.

The corner of Mingshu's lips moved, "Brother."

"It's to help you investigate the case." Xiao Yu'an said, "It's also to stay with you for a long time."

Time stopped for a moment, Mingshu frowned slightly, "I knew it."

"Guest 085, let's eat!"

When the shopkeeper shouted enthusiastically, Xiao Yuan patted Mingshu's wrist and said with a smile, "It's our turn."

finished.Thank you readers for subscribing, commenting, rewarding, and sending starfish.Writing this article, I have some gains, but also many regrets.Since I started writing, I have written three criminal investigations. The first one is "Brother Ran". The case was not well written, so I wrote "Heart Poison". The case was not dramatic enough, so I wrote "Madness in the Heart" again, and each book made up for the regrets of the previous one, but "Madness in the Heart" still has regrets.At present, I do not plan to write a fourth criminal investigation to make up for the regret of "Heart Madness".Go ahead and try something new, maybe a suspense with a fantasy factor (I always love suspense).In short, I would like to thank the readers who have followed the article all the way. Codewords are the only interesting thing in my lack of life. I don’t feel tired. I am anxious every day when I don’t codewords.
