Chasing the Mist

It was three o'clock in the morning when work was over.

On the way home, Lin Yiran remained silent with a gloomy face.

Gu Xun took the initiative to speak a few times, but he didn't get a response, so he ignored him, and the two went back to their rooms after entering the house.

After staying in ktv for one night, his body smelled heavily of alcohol and tobacco. Gu Xun endured his drowsiness to take a shower, and then fell asleep on the bed. In his sleep, he touched his waist. There was an arm crossing his back. He opened his eyes, heard the person behind him, and suddenly said, "Brother, it's me."

Gu Xun was too sleepy, he could tell that it was Lin Yiran, he didn't care, he closed his eyes and wanted to continue to sleep, but he put his hand on his waist and didn't give him a chance.

Gu Xun pressed Lin Yiran's wrist, and said impatiently, "Sleep, don't move."

These words took effect quickly, Lin Yiran stopped, buried his head into his neck, "Brother, follow me, I will treat you well for the rest of my life." His voice was very low and hoarse.

Gu Xun only wanted to sleep, so he said "um" in a daze.

Lin Yiran's courage increased greatly because of this "um", he leaned close to the back of Gu Xun's neck, and kissed him delicately.

He couldn't bear Gu Xun's intimacy with other people, it drove him crazy at all, he knew it was acting, but he still couldn't control his jealousy, all the unhappiness of the night melted into his lips and teeth, encroaching every inch, gentle and crazy.

Gu Xun finally lost his sleepiness, turned around and pushed him away, "Go back to your room, tomorrow—"

Before he finished speaking, his lips were blocked.

Lin Yiran was like a crazy invader. He didn't give Gu Xun a chance to refuse. According to his rhythm, he destroyed Gu Xun's cracked city wall step by step, and he was bound to win.

Gu Xun came back to his senses in a jerk, and held his wrist, "Don't move."

Lin also refused to listen.

The ktv scene really stimulated Lin Yiran, making him realize clearly that confirming the relationship, if it follows Gu Xun's pace, it will probably take until the year of the monkey. He has a lot of time and is not afraid of waiting, but he has endured it for almost eight years. The heart can no longer stand the toss, and urgently needs a result to appease.

Gu Xun's scolding voice became smaller and smaller, and his breathing became more and more intense. At the critical moment, Lin Yiran stopped suddenly.

"You—" Gu Xun was speechless.

Lin Yiran smiled maliciously, "Please."

"Get out!" Gu Xun turned and ignored him.

Lin Yiran smiled for a while, hugged him from behind, approached his ear, and said in a low voice, "Brother, help me."

Gu Xun swallowed the words as they rolled to his lips. If he doesn't help him, he won't be relieved either.

It's definitely intentional.

The feeling of solving it was not the same as his own. Gu Xun realized that he was being manipulated. He was speechless for a few times and had no choice but finally followed Lin Yiran's wishes.

……

Gu Xun fell asleep directly.

Lin Yiran showed a smile on his gloomy face all night, hugged his beloved, and fell into a deep sleep.

The alarm clock rang, ending the three hours of sleep, Gu Xun opened his eyes again, he turned into himself hugging Lin Yiran, looking down at the sleeping person in his arms, there was an indescribable charm.

According to the prior work plan, Gu Xun and Lin Yiran continued to investigate Shen's family. They first went to Shen Yiqing's house in Zhangwan Village.

Shen Yiqing and her husband Zhang Guangfu have two sons. The eldest son is in junior high school in the town, and the younger son is five years old and has not yet entered kindergarten. He spends all day with his mother.

Zhang Guangfu works outside the country all year round, and Shen Yiqing and his youngest son are the only ones at home.

Shen Yiqing was busy with housework, didn't see Lin Yiran and Gu Xun, heard the door knocking and thought it was his younger son, "Wash your hands and eat, don't go out to play."

There was no response, and there were two strange men standing at the door, "Who are you?"

Lin Yiran took out his ID, "Police."

Shen Yiqing's face turned blue immediately, the rag in his hand fell to the floor, he didn't know what to do, he stood there in a daze, after a while he came back, bent down to pick up the rag, "Come in, please."

Lin Yiran sat down with Gu Xun, and she refilled a glass of water for each of them, "What about my sister...have you caught the murderer?"

"Not yet."

"Then you all come—"

Lin Yiran: "Please tell us what happened at your parents' house on the night of July 7."

Shen Yiqing looked down at the table, and rubbed the edge of the apron with his fingers, "The whole family had dinner... My sister left after the meal."

"How many dishes that night? What did your sister say? What time did you leave? Why did you leave?" The more she dodged, the more Gu Xun pressed her questions.

Shen Yiqing glanced at Gu Xun, then quickly lowered her head, "I can't remember the dishes, she didn't say anything, she left after eating, I can't remember the time, she answered the phone and left, I don't know the reason .”

"Don't you remember the dishes you made so soon?"

"I cooked eight dishes, including ribs..." Shen Yiqing finished speaking intermittently.

Gu Xun asked again: "Which one does Shen Yici like to eat the most?"

"She's not at home often, I don't know her taste very well." The police kept asking these irrelevant things, Shen Yiqing was a little puzzled, but had to answer.

Lin Yiran smiled ambiguously, "It seems that your elder sister doesn't know as much about her as Shen Yibei."

Shen Yiqing raised her head, her face turned from green to pale, "My elder brother said... what does she like to eat?"

"I've said a lot, he knows Shen Yici better than you." Lin Yiran didn't answer directly, and continued to deal with her.

"Big brother... and little sister have been on good terms since childhood." Shen Yiqing bowed her head.

"After Shen Yici left, what did you do?"

Shen Yiqing didn't expect the police to ask such a question, subconsciously said "Ah?", and then said, "Sleeping."

"So many people, how do you sleep at home?"

"My son and I slept with our parents. The eldest brother was in the Westinghouse, and the second brother slept at my aunt's."

During the conversation, a child's silver bell-like laughter came from outside the house.

Shen Yiqing stood up and yelled out the window, "Go out to play first, and I'll call you after dinner."

"Everyone is home for dinner, no one is playing with me." The little boy shouted to his mother through the window.

"Go to the small shop and help mom buy a bag of salt."

"Got it." The little boy waved the wooden stick in his hand and ran out.

Lin Yiran got up and followed.

Shen Yiqing hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the supermarket to buy a pack of cigarettes."

Shen Yiqing opened his mouth, looked at Gu Xun, hesitated to speak.

Lin Yiran caught up with the little boy and walked side by side with him, "What's your name?"

The little boy didn't recognize his birth, so he answered heartily: "Zhang Yiming." He looked up at Lin Yiran while talking, "Uncle, what's your name?"

"Lin Yiran." He stretched out his hand to Zhang Yiming, "Nice to meet you."

Zhang Yiming shook hands with him, "Are you my mother's friend?"

"That's right, your grandpa's birthday was a few days ago, and your uncle didn't have time to go, where are you interesting?"

Zhang Yiming pursed his lips, "It's boring."

"Eating birthday cake, why is it boring?" Lin Yiran slowed down and walked beside Zhang Yiming.

"Cry." Zhang Yiming picked up the stick in his hand and beat the weeds on the roadside indiscriminately.

"Are you crying?"

The little boy shook his head, "Auntie is crying."

"Why is Auntie crying?"

"I don't know, my mother won't let me go out to see." Unknowingly walking to the supermarket, Zhang Yiming took a bag of salt and put it on the cash register to check out.

Lin Yiran bought something, took a lollipop, and when he was about to pay the bill, he saw the cigarettes on the cash register and thought of Gu Xun, "I want a box of soft Changbaishan."

After leaving the supermarket, Lin Yiran peeled off the plastic packaging of the lollipop and handed it to Zhang Yiming.

Zhang Yiming hesitated for a while, couldn't hold back the temptation of the sugar, took it and stuffed it into his mouth, "Thank you uncle."

Lin Yiran smiled and continued the topic just now, "Where did Auntie cry? Besides crying, did Auntie say anything else?"

"Crying in my uncle's room, crying and screaming, my grandma scolded her, I couldn't hear what they said."

"Auntie is in the room with uncle, or uncle?"

"do not know."

"What time does my aunt leave grandma's house at night, remember?"

"I don't remember, I went to bed very early, and when I woke up in the morning, my aunt had already left."

the other side.

Shen Yiqing looked out of the window from time to time, instead of looking forward to his son coming back, he was looking forward to the cursing mother-in-law.

The old woman walked forward slowly with a wheelbarrow, "I don't plant the land, I don't clean up the house, and I go back to my mother's house all day long. If I don't have rice, why don't I let those two precious brothers deliver it? Now I think of me."

Lin Yiran and Zhang Yiming entered the hospital and happened to encounter this scene.

Seeing her grandson, the old woman put down the car and came over to hug him, kissed him, "Why is grandson so thin again?" After speaking, she raised her neck and shouted into the house: "The child is sallow and emaciated, are you still worthy of being a mother? All the hard-earned money outside was secretly spent on your brother.

They have hands and feet, after eating their parents, sister, or individuals?The second child also went to college, and Shu Nian went to the dog's stomach?I bother! "

Shen Yiqing smiled awkwardly, "My mother-in-law has a hot temper, which made the police officer laugh at her."

Gu Xun: "It's fine."

Shen Yiqing hurried out, "Mom, don't talk nonsense."

The old woman put down her grandson, looked at her daughter-in-law angrily, and pulled Lin Yiran over, "I'm talking nonsense? Come on, let's let this guy judge. My son sent back a total of 3 yuan in the first half of the year, but the poor family couldn't even eat the rice." Where's the money? Hmph! Don't think I don't know, your second younger brother is going to buy a house in the city."

"I only lent it to him temporarily, and he will return it when he has money later." Shen Yiqing explained.

"Don't fool me. The money your natal family borrowed all these years has paid off a penny? If it weren't for the face of the two children, I would have divorced you a long time ago."

Shen Yiqing didn't know whether she couldn't speak up to her mother-in-law or was wronged, so she stopped talking and lowered her head to wipe her tears.

When the old woman shouted, she quickly attracted neighbors, a group of "critics"

Lin Yiran and Gu Xun left the crowd, got in the car and walked back, "Shen Yiqing was not only as flustered as Zhang Fengying when he was talking to us, but also he was a standard helper. It seems that their whole family knows what happened that night."

Lin Yiran: "Shen Yiqing's son said that Shen Yici cried and screamed in Shen Yibei's room that night, and Zhang Fengying insulted her. When I, Shen Yici left home, the child didn't know."

Gu Xun: "For this question, first check Shen Yici's call records to see if she talked with Zhou Zheng on the phone that night, and then ask Zhou Zheng face to face. If he came that night, the main road surveillance can capture it. If he didn't come, the murderer was among Shen's family. middle."

As soon as the voice fell, Gu Xun's cell phone rang, and the forensic doctor called, "Gu team, I found polyvinyl chloride deep in the fingernails of the deceased. Since she went back to her hometown before she died, it should be the kang leather on the farmhouse's kang. I suggest you go to see it." Check at her house to see if there are any scratches on the kang."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Xun turned around and drove towards Shen's house. Meng Jia called again, "Boss, Liu Na jumped off the building."
