Chasing the Mist

Miao Mi lit a lady's cigarette, and Zhao Lin exhaled lightly, and smiled slightly, "Are you kidding me, how could I give birth to that kind of child?"

Lin Yiran leaned back, his peach blossom eyes were raised, and he smiled back at her, "Ms. Miao, don't forget how much you loved that kind of person back then."

Miao Mi glanced down at her curvy figure, "I'm going to fall in love with an incompetent alcoholic? This is really the funniest joke I've heard this year."

"I don't love you taking the initiative to sleep on his bed?" Gu Xun said coldly.

Miao Mi turned her head to look at Gu Xun, and the moment her eyes collided, she couldn't help but look away from the window, took a deep breath of cigarette, and after a moment of silence, she extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette, "Let me open the skylight with you and speak honestly, you are not young. Sensible, I did have a good time with Liu Yifeng, but we have no children, and now we haven't seen each other for more than [-] years, what happened to him has nothing to do with me, please go."

Lin Yiran: "The matter of that child has nothing to do with you? You brought him into this world."

"Are you sick? I said I have no children." Miao Mi took out another cigarette and put it in her mouth. After pressing the lighter several times, it failed to fire, and threw it into the trash can.

Gu Xun pressed the lighter and handed it to Miao Mi.

Miao Mi bent over slightly, lit the cigarette, took two puffs, and said softly, "Thank you."

Lin Yiran: "Now there is a very important case. It may be related to that child. I didn't intend to embarrass you. We just want to know where he is?"

Miao Mi looked at the lights of Wanjia outside the window, and took a long puff of cigarette, "I don't know where he is."

Lin Yiran and Gu Xun looked at each other, and seeing Miao Mi let go, he hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me about what happened after you separated from Liu Yifeng?"

Miao Mi: "Can I borrow the fire again?"

Gu Xun nodded, and handed her the lighter.

"My parents didn't agree with us being together. They were afraid that he would come to my house to look for them, so they moved to my aunt's village. When they arrived at their new house, they forced me to have an abortion. At that time, I loved Liu Yifeng to death. I refused to go to the hospital. My parents were soft and hard. It was useless to do everything, and then my stomach grew bigger day by day. They were afraid that I would lose face if I went out, so they locked me up like a dog, and came in every day to deliver two meals. I survived by fantasizing about Liu Yifeng, I thought he knew me If there is a child in my belly, I will definitely come to look for me, but until the child was born, I didn’t even see a person. When the child was one year old, I took the child to the city to look for him while there was no one at home.”

Miao Mi stopped, lit another cigarette, and took a few puffs, "Guess what I saw?" She said with a self-deprecating smile, "He swaggered past me with another woman in his arms, and he didn't even recognize me. , I was splashed with cold water, and immediately decided to forget that bastard. I rented a small house and lived alone with my son. Kindergarten only went out to work."

"And what about the child?"

Miao Mi smoked a cigarette and said casually, "I threw it away."

A dense chill penetrated through the pores of Lin Yiran and Gu Xun, and the two said in unison, "Throw it away?"

"No man is willing to marry a woman with a boy. Without him, I can't live a good life in my life. I was only 24 years old at that time, and I had already wasted half of my youth for him. If this continues, my life will be over. Oil bottle, I can live like a human being."

Lin Yiran clenched his fists, his fingertips were cold, "How old was the child when he was thrown away?"

"Five years old."

"Where did you throw it away?"

"Red Flag Road."

"Did you name the child back then?"

"Only a nickname, called Tian Tian."

"Did you find him later?"

"No."

After leaving Miao Mi's house, Lin Yiran didn't say a word. When he got in the car, he leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes.

Gu Xun opened his mouth, and swallowed the words a few times.

Silence spread in the dark night, Lin Yiran only felt cold, like being in the cold winter, the sky was full of snow in the vast expanse of snow, the sky and the earth were all white, there were no tall buildings and crowds, only endless white, he couldn't see clearly ahead, and couldn't find where he came from. Lu, he is so small.

small to.

Bring him into this world without permission.

Without consent, he left him and left cruelly.

When Miao Mi felt that the child was a burden and a burden, she thought that the burden was her own choice, and the result of her choice was to be borne by another person. If human beings reproduce|reproduce, it would be great if exams are required, only those who pass the exam , to have children.

Lin Yiran was thinking endlessly, unaware that the car had stopped, he raised his eyes, and Gu Xun was turning sideways, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and touching the edge of the back of the passenger seat with the other, as if wrapping him into another world.

Gu Xun's deep eyes revealed a little tenderness. "Your parents are different from Miao Mi." After struggling all the way, they finally brought up a topic they rarely talked about.

Lin Yiran smiled, "When he abandoned me and my mother for Xiaosan, what's the difference with Miao Mi? It's all for his own happiness. In their world, responsibility is as light as a feather, far less important than enjoyment."

Gu Xun was dumbfounded, retracted his hand and stared at the number in front of the red light that decreased every second, and when the green light turned on, he said, "Brother will not abandon you, never will."

Lin Yiran was stunned for a moment, and his gaze remained on Lin Yiran's side face, "Brother, will you stay with me?"

Gu Xun didn't answer.

Lin Yiran sighed secretly, turned to look out the car window, was it too tight?Last time, I clearly planned to give him time, but when it was time to wait, I was very anxious.

He thought that a little time was nothing compared to eight years, but he forgot that the longer he suppressed, the stronger his desire would be. In fact, he didn't want to wait a second longer.

"It's my own business to like you, brother, don't stress, I will accept whatever you choose."

There was another silence after the words, until the car stopped in front of the fast food restaurant, "Eat first."

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, both of them were hungry, the meal was overwhelming, and they ate nothing. Gu Xun went to the cashier to check out, saw the ice cream machine, and asked for a cone by the way, went back to Serin and walked out.

Lin Yiran: "..."

He strode out to chase, "Brother, I've already—"

Before he could grow up, he heard Gu Xun say, "I don't like to eat and throw it away."

"..." Lin Yiran put the ice cream in his mouth, it was cold and smooth, and the sweet creamy taste bloomed in his mouth. I am afraid that he will still like this taste when he is seventy or eighty years old.

Gu Xun drove with a cold face, and habitually opened the window to smoke. After smoking, he extinguished the cigarette butt, and the cone in Lin Yiran's hand was brought to his mouth at some point, "Brother, take a sip."

"I don't want to eat it." Gu Xun turned his head and saw a piece of white ice cream on his upper lip, completely unaware.

Lin Yiran stared at him and smiled.

"What are you laughing at? Stupid?"

Lin Yiran pointed to his mouth and said with a smile, "Can I wipe it off for you?"

"..." Gu Xun glanced at the rearview mirror, took out a tissue to wipe it off, pushed Lin Yiran's head by the way, and said badly, "Don't make me think too hard."

Recently, Lin Yiran has gotten used to his tiger's ostentatious, warning language, which all enters the left ear and exits the right ear.

On the way back to the city bureau, Gu Xun's cell phone rang, and the screen displayed Xin Chang.

"Gu Xun, come to my house quickly, someone is going to kill me."

Gu Xun was confused, "What's the matter? You speak slowly."

From Xin Chang's intermittent words, Gu Xun heard the general outline of the matter.

Xin Chang worked the night shift and worked in the hospital all morning. He didn't get off work until the afternoon. Before Meng was killed, he always said that there was someone at home. After he was killed, he went home every day and was very nervous. He deliberately kept a fruit knife by his side in case of emergency.

Realizing that something was wrong, he held his breath, and when the black shadow approached a little bit, he stabbed it with a knife, only heard a muffled grunt, and sure enough there was someone beside the bed.

"Who are you?" Xin Chang yelled.

next second.

A sharp knife was inserted into the abdomen, and Xin Chang's face suddenly changed in pain. Enduring the pain, he touched the cell phone next to his pillow. As soon as he got the cell phone, the man suddenly pulled out the knife and ran out.

Xin Chang was sweating profusely from the pain, he had no energy to chase out, so he called Gu Xun while enduring the pain.

After learning about the situation, Lin Yiran contacted the ambulance, and Gu Xun informed the others, who rushed to Xin Chang's house.

When Gu Xun arrived, Xin Chang had already been sent away by ambulance. The bedroom was in chaos. The murderer fled in a hurry, too late to destroy the traces. A handkerchief containing diethyl ether.

The policeman who was in charge of taking pictures went to the bathroom temporarily, and the camera slipped into Serin's hands, "Help me get it."

"Go." Lin Yiran caught the camera. This colleague took a lot of photos of Xin Chang's bedroom, almost in every corner. He lowered his head and flipped through them at random. Suddenly his thumb stopped, and his gaze was fixed on the photo of the air conditioner in the corner. , It’s not the season to blow the air conditioner, the air conditioner socket is not connected, the gray power cord falls off the white wall, the socket next to it is empty, there is no power plug, in the middle of the five-hole socket, he faintly sees a round hole, press the Zoom in the camera button, zoom in the photo to the maximum, and you can see a small circular hole clearly.

He dropped the camera, stepped on a chair and stood up, looked closely at the air-conditioning socket, then turned to his colleagues and said, "Turn off the power and get a screwdriver."

Lin Yiran quickly unscrewed the socket and took out the pinhole camera hidden inside.

Who would install a pinhole camera in their bedroom?

Obviously it wasn't Xin Chang and Li Meng pretending.

How many pinhole cameras are there in the whole room?

Is someone on the other side of the camera looking at them?

Everyone was shocked, and no one dared to speak.

Gu Xun glanced at the palm of Lin Yiran's palm, the words between his eyebrows became more profound, and he opened his mouth to break the silence of the room looking at each other, "I search all the sockets, decorations, and all the places where this thing can be placed."

Everyone cheered and dispersed, and a dozen pinhole cameras were found in the bathroom, kitchen, living room, and second bedroom. Xin Chang's home was no longer "home".

Zheng Tiancheng hung his arms and walked around Gu Xun, "Boss, who is monitoring Xin Chang and Li Meng? It's so fucking perverted, no wonder he sneaked in without anyone noticing, but how did he open the door?"

Meng Jia: "Pick the lock?"

Lin Yiran looked outside the door, "This kind of high-end anti-theft lock is not easy to pry open, even if pried open, it will leave traces, Li Meng was killed and Xinchang was injured, and there were no traces of prying the door lock twice. "

Zheng Tiancheng: "There is only one possibility left, the murderer has the ability to penetrate the wall or has a key."

Meng Jia: "Could it be Li Meng or Xin Chang's family? My parents have the keys to my house."

Zheng Tiancheng: "Will your parents open the door to let the murderer come in and kill you? This inference is not valid."

"It's possible that the parents lost the key, or it was stolen..."

Meng Jia and Zheng Tiancheng were discussing, when they saw Gu Xun striding out, they immediately shut up and followed.

Gu Xun stopped by the door, bent down and picked up the red rectangular carpet in front of the door, and put it back when he saw that the carpet was empty.

Many people like to hide spare keys at the door of the house. Meng Jia and the others immediately understood what Gu Xun meant, and searched around the door frame, water tank, and electric box.

Lin Yiran closed the water tank door and showed the key in his hand, "here."

"Try it quickly." Meng Jia snatched the key, inserted it into the door lock, turned left twice, and the door opened with a "click".

Zheng Tiancheng: "Damn it! So it was hidden here, who would know that his house key is hidden in the water tank? Brother courier?"

Hearing this, Lin Yiran and Gu Xun looked at the opposite room 2102 together, rushed over almost at the same time, knocked on the door but no one responded.

Gu Xun: "Pick the lock!"

The colleagues in the team who were knowledgeable in unlocking came over immediately, and opened the door of room 2102.

Gu Xun glanced at Zheng Tiancheng and Lin Yiran, "The disabled stay at the back, others follow me."

The door opened, and a teddy bear came into view.

The large brown teddy bear sat on a chair, facing the door of the room, and had been waiting for a long time.

Gu Xun walked around the teddy bear and found nothing unusual.

Meng Jia searched all the rooms in the house, and came out to Gu Xun, "Boss, there is no one in the house."

Gu Xun nodded, his eyes still fixed on the teddy bear. There was a faint red light in the bear's belly. He turned to the back of the chair, unzipped the zipper on the back of the teddy bear, and the moment he peeled off the cotton, Meng Jia exclaimed: "Boss, be careful!"

Lin Yiran, who was staying in room 2101 for on-site investigation, heard the shout and rushed to room 2102. Then he saw that the explosives in the teddy bear's belly were counting down, and the red number decreased.
