Not in reincarnation

"Knock knock knock..."

The morning sun shone on the dark curtains, and the knock on the door rang earlier than the mobile phone alarm clock, flowing in an orderly manner in the sound of quiet breathing.It was Gao Zhenglin who was woken up first. He struggled to open his eyes and then closed them again. After repeated several times, he opened them completely. The person in his arms moved. Before he could react, a slap was already blurred. .

"Noisy..."

He looked helplessly at Zheng Jiang who was in a drowsy sleep, got up and put on his pajamas, walked to the door and looked at the cat's eyes, the people outside were wearing black uniforms.Gao Zhenglin raised his eyebrows, what happened?He opened the door, and the detective showed him his ID, not paying attention to his attire.

The blond California police detective said to him in English: "Sorry to disturb you so early, I am George Steele, the police detective in charge of this block. Your neighbor, Miss Ali Lida, disappeared a week ago. I was found dumping the body on the side of the highway at midnight, we have something to ask you."

"Who?" Zheng Jiang put on his shirt, ran out barefoot and hugged Gao Zhenglin's waist, "OHMYGOD!" His eyes widened, isn't this a policeman?

The detective looked at them a few times before realizing that they might be homosexuals. He whispered a few words to his companion, and then said to Gao Zhenglin, "Is it convenient for us to go in?"

"Come in." Gao Zhenglin generously let them in.

It has been three months since they immigrated to the United States. If you want to talk about how this "black household" Zheng Jiang got his identity and was able to immigrate, it is Gao Zhenglin's "love wife".

Gao Zhenglin once helped someone to file a lawsuit. It was a group of migrant workers asking for wages. Originally, they couldn’t afford Gao’s legal fees. Call people for nothing.He and the group of migrant workers said together: I have a child who was born secretly, a black householder, and can't get an ID card. Can you find someone, say that he was trafficked, and then buy it?

Migrant workers didn't understand it at first, and felt that it might be illegal. Lawyer Gao waved his hand and said no, it was just a loophole.Forced by the almost free lawsuit, the migrant workers agreed to find a 50-[-]-year-old bachelor, who was very happy, and quickly took Zheng Jiang to the police station to obtain a certificate.Zheng Jiang's current skin is also juicy, as tender as seventeen or eighteen years old, and he has no doubts at all.Lawyer Gao made some connections, prepared an ID card for his lover, and smoothly wrote his name on the real estate certificate.

But Zheng Jiang's name was written on the real estate certificate, and Gao Zhenglin was pestered by his parents again, asking him to give up Zheng Jiang and live with a woman.As soon as Gao Zhenglin was cruel, he told his parents not to force himself to sever ties with them. If he still cared about his son's life, let him be self-willed for the last time.Gao's father and Gao's mother were still reluctant, the curse that Yao Mu had cast on him would become weak after meeting Xijiang, and his heart had never had any troubles again, so Gao Zhenglin's heart disease was considered healed.Zheng Jiang was taken back as a ghost, and now he has lost the ability to rebirth and read the memories of the dead, and has become an ordinary person, who will experience life, old age, sickness and death together with Gao Zhenglin.

Gao Zhenglin didn't want Zheng Jiang to be approached by his parents again one day, so he went to a country that supports the legalization of same-sex marriage—the United States to apply for immigration. After waiting for a while, a batch of immigration applications came out, and he couldn't wait to fly to the United States.Gao Zhenglin is currently working in a law firm, but due to the different laws, he can only do an internship first, and then work hard to get a qualification certificate.Zheng Jiang was much more chic. He learned English from Gao Zhenglin for a period of time, and his daily communication was no longer a problem. He found a job as a Chinese chef in the restaurant downstairs of the apartment. The guests and the owner of the restaurant liked him very much.

The two held a simple wedding in the church and officially lived a life of husband and wife without shame.

Detective George was worried that he would see something he shouldn't see when he entered the home of a same-sex couple. Unexpectedly, the black-haired man ran out in revealing clothes at first, and the whole living room looked orderly.Zheng Jiang went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea for the two police detectives. The police detectives drank a lot of coffee, and they felt a bit weak when they drank tea occasionally.

"This is my partner, Ivan Elmy." Detective George introduced his partner, and Detective Ivan smiled at them kindly, "Are you Asians?"

"I immigrated here three months ago." Gao Zhenglin said.

Detective George thought for a while: "I've read your files. I'm sorry that there have been a lot of things recently, and I can't remember clearly. You seem to be Chinese?"

Gao Zhenglin nodded.Detective Ivan took out his small notebook and began to ask questions: "Do you know if your neighbor, Miss Ali Lida, is missing?"

"Yes, I heard from other neighbors that they have been questioned, but we have not been questioned, this time." Gao Zhenglin said.

Detective Ivan smiled: "We used to treat it as a disappearance case, but now it's a homicide case."

Zheng Jiang rewarded them with some refreshments, but the two police detectives didn't eat right away and wanted to ask questions first.

Detective Ivan asked: "Then what kind of person do you think Miss Allie is? Are you familiar with her?"

Gao Zhenglin shook his head: "As I said just now, we've only moved here for three months, and we can't say we're close friends with anyone, so we can't say anything about Miss Aili's evaluation."

Zheng Jiang also said: "Except for the initial meeting and greeting, we rarely communicate with each other, and we don't have much to talk about."

George and Ivan glanced at each other, and felt that there was really nothing valuable to ask from them, so they wanted to retreat, but Zheng Jiang stopped them: "Can we know something? Although Miss Ai Li and we have no So familiar, but when I think of the life that lives near us disappearing inexplicably, I always feel a little concerned."

The two detectives hesitated for a moment, and George spoke first and said, "Miss Ally is probably not the first victim."

Gao Zhenglin asked in surprise, "Not the first...what do you mean?"

"We haven't disclosed it to the media yet, but this block is an area with a high incidence of cases, so the sheriff is also willing to ask us to remind the public to pay attention to safety." George frowned and said, "From November last year to March this year, there has been Women are missing, killed, five people have been killed."

Zheng Jiang opened his eyes wide: "One victim a month?"

George nodded: "Yes, we have seen signs of abuse and sexual assault on them, and we can imagine what kind of pain they suffered during their lifetime."

Gao Zhenglin asked suspiciously: "You mean, this may be the masterpiece of a serial killer? There are so many people missing in California every day, why do you think these five women are the same murderer?"

"Because a condom was found in the stomach of each deceased." George said bitterly, "If there is still no clue, we can only turn to the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) for help."

"Condom?" Zheng Jiang was thoughtful.

Ivan's eyes lit up: "Did you remember anything?"

Zheng Jiang froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just remembered that our condoms are about to run out."

After seeing off the two police detectives, Gao Zhenglin closed the door, and Zheng Jiang jumped in front of him, hooked his neck and kissed him deeply.After the kiss, Gao Zhenglin said helplessly, "Haven't you been lifted from the curse? Why are there still dead people around?"

Zheng Jiang blinked and said, "Maybe I have Conan's physique, are you afraid?"

Gao Zhenglin patted his butt with a smile: "You have the physique of a goblin, but you don't have the physique of Conan." Zheng Jiang squinted his eyes with a smile, and then went to put away the teacups, ready to make breakfast for Gao Zhenglin.

Life in the United States is very new to Zheng Jiang, and Gao Zhenglin has been here before, so he is used to it a lot. For Zheng Jiang, the most sad thing is that many seasonings are no longer available in the vegetable market, and even the variety of vegetables is pitiful.Zheng Jiang has been thinking about when he can go back to China to buy some vegetable seeds and grow vegetables for himself when he returns to the United States, but they live in an apartment, so it is very difficult to grow a large amount of vegetables.Fortunately, there are many Chinese in California, and some supermarkets for Chinese are very popular, and some things can still be bought.

Sometimes Zheng Jiang would use his identity as a Chinese chef to ask the purchaser to bring some seasonings for him to take home, which also saved him the time spent running around.The restaurant Zheng Jiang works in is not a pure Western restaurant, but also serves Chinese food other than Western food. Compared with the Westernized Chinese food in other Chinese restaurants, Zheng Jiang's Chinese food is more authentic and delicious.

I specially ordered a soybean milk machine online, and Zheng Jiang was so happy when he received the goods. He doesn't like drinking milk very much, and would rather soak soybeans and grind soybean milk by himself.But he was going to cry soon. Soybeans are not so easy to buy. Americans don't like soy soy, so the soymilk machine is basically left unused.

So this morning's breakfast is still steamed buns and beef bone soup, with a plate of fried lettuce.

Gao Zhenglin ate very crisply, but Zheng Jiang felt like he was going to throw up. "You don't like steamed buns, you can buy cereal." Gao Zhenglin said knowing that Zheng Jiang didn't like pasta.

"I don't want to eat something that can't be full like cereal." Zheng Jiang rested his cheeks with both hands, puffing up like a frog.

"Baby, this is the only food here." Gao Zhenglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's better not to be full than to be hungry. I don't like you anymore when there's no meat in my butt."

Zheng Jiang made a look like he was about to cry: "You actually said that my butt has no meat, and you also said that you don't like me anymore."

Gao Zhenglin laughed, did not speak, and took a sip of soup.After thinking about it, Zheng Jiang realized that the Western-style breakfast was really useless, but Gao Zhenglin said that he had stayed in England for half a year, and when he thought of the English breakfast, Zheng Jiang felt sorry for him.

After breakfast, Zheng Jiang just drank some soup and ate some lettuce, then went to help Gao Zhenglin get dressed. "Come back soon." Zheng Jiang kissed his lips, and Gao Zhenglin kissed him too.

"Are you interested in talking about Miss Allie?" Gao Zhenglin asked.

Zheng Jiang raised his eyebrows: "I thought you forgot about it, but in fact, I want to secretly ask the neighbors after you leave."

Gao Zhenglin scratched his nose, and said dotingly: "Is it possible that I don't know about your small thoughts? Let's study the case together when I come back. Since the police detective said that it is going to be disclosed to the media, then you see Watching TV will also know a lot of news."

"I want to ask if the US emperor has offered a reward or something?" Zheng Jiang untied Gao Zhenglin's tie.

Gao Zhenglin thought for a while: "There should be some, what's the matter, you want money again?"

"Yes, I want a big house." Zheng Jiang said with a smile, "I want to use the bounty to buy a big house, and you are not allowed to pay any more."

Gao Zhenglin exclaimed: "Oh, is my baby coming to take care of me now?"

"Yes, yes, you just need to wait on me in bed every day." Zheng Jiang pushed him out of the house, "Go! You are going to be late, Lawyer Gao."
