"Liang Qian, let me tell you something, don't get excited."

He Anmei acted vigorously and resolutely as always, and went straight to the point when she spoke, speaking very fast and a little dignified.

Liang Qian knew that she was complicated and busy at work, so he didn't dare to delay, and agreed, "I understand, tell me, godmother."

He Anmei said: "You asked me about the rape case earlier, the suspect may have been arrested."

After waiting for two seconds, she didn't hear Liang Qian's answer, so she continued: "A few days ago, the Public Security Bureau of Hongliu District, Yuchuan City contacted our Jiujiang Branch, saying that they had caught a rapist and cheated during the interrogation. I just confessed that there was another case committed in Yuzhou. Now they have issued a cooperation letter and asked the Jiujiang Branch to help with the investigation."

"Oh," Liang Qian's voice was very dry. He glanced at the pond. Yao Xuyun and Duan Xiaoyou were teasing the general. Duan Xinghe stood sideways, facing where he was. Feeling, he looked at himself with concern.

He calmed down and asked He Anmei, "Is it Duan Xiaoyou's case?"

"Well. After you told me last time, I greeted Lu Yu from the Jiujiang Sub-bureau. He told the people below to pay more attention to the rape cases in Province G. When the cooperation letter from the Hongliu Public Security Bureau arrived, they It feels like, although the rapist did not explain clearly, but the time and place basically match, it should be the case five years ago."

If He Anmei was in front of her, Liang Qian would really bow to her: "Godmother, thank you, I didn't expect to be able to solve the case five years ago."

"Don't thank me first," He Anmei interrupted him, then sighed, "Now things are a little tricky."

It turned out that after the rapist was detained, his family hired a lawyer. After the meeting, he withdrew his confession, refused to admit to the old Yuzhou case, and claimed that he had been tortured to extract a confession.The Jiujiang branch assisted the brother units in the investigation. They went to the archives to look through the files from five years ago. They found them, but the contents inside were incomplete. A few pages of transcripts and the most critical piece of evidence were lost.

Liang Qian's mood was like a roller coaster: "You won't tell me that the DNA test report is lost?"

He Anmei was silent for a few seconds, and said, "The policemen from the sub-bureau intend to contact the victim's family. I'm holding back. Let me talk to you first."

"What about the electronic files?"

"Yuzhou only started to promote the electronicization of criminal case files in the second half of 16, and they were all paper-based before."

Liang Qian pulled out a handful of hair, as if there were countless villains jumping around in his chest, he was very annoyed, he was at a loss, and asked He Anmei: "Then what should we do now?"

He Anmei said: "The transcripts can be supplemented, but the DNA test report can only be found. Jiujiang District has nearly a thousand criminal cases a year, and the workload is a bit heavy. It may take a few days to get the results."

Liang Qian asked, "What if you can't find it in the end?"

There was no sound at the other end, and it took a while before he replied: "Let's talk about it."

"Liang Qian?" A call came from the pond, it was Duan Xinghe calling him.

"Godmother, I'll leave it to you," Liang Qian said faster, thanking He Anmei again, and agreed to contact him as soon as the result came out, and then hung up the phone.

He returned to Duan Xinghe and asked, "What's wrong?"

Duan Xinghe frowned, with a serious expression: "Auntie sent a message saying that you can go back."

Liang Qian glanced at his mobile phone. Yao Nandong also sent him the same WeChat message 10 minutes ago.

"Let's go then."

When things came to an end, they became less nervous. They moved fruit from the trunk and called Yao Xuyun and Duan Xiaoyou to go back together.

The door opened, and the room was filled with a dull and sad air. The person who opened the door was Liang Yanjie, who was in a fairly stable mood, but looked tired.Yao Nandong and Sun Juan were sitting on the sofa, with their backs to the entrance, Yao Nandong held Sun Juan's shoulders, like two good sisters whispering, but the apartment was silent.

Liang Qian put the fruit on the floor and glanced at Duan Xinghe hesitantly.Knowing current affairs, Yao Xuyun and Duan Xiaoyou found a corner and stood there, not daring to move rashly, trying to reduce their sense of existence.

Duan Xinghe called "Mom", Sun Juan heard it, her jaw trembled, and after a few seconds, she turned her head inflexibly and stared at them in a daze.

She has cried, her eyes are like two reddish glass beads, sunken between the loose eyelids and accumulated wrinkles, trying to open and stare, trying to recognize the world.

Liang Qian felt sad and apologized in a low voice: "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Sun Juan, as if she hadn't heard of it, tightly grasped the sofa cushion, with light blue blood vessels protruding from her skinny arms.After a while, she lowered her head weakly and let out a sniffling sound.

It's not appropriate to stay any longer, Yao Nandong sighed, and said, "Mother Xinghe, let's go back first."

Everyone bid farewell in a hurry, without even polite words, as if they were running for their lives, in a hurry.

Liang Qian didn't want to leave so soon, worried that Sun Juan would scold Duan Xinghe, but Yao Nandong pulled him out by pulling his sleeve.

All the way silent.Liang Qian drove in silence, and the old couple looked out the window in silence.

When approaching Tianze Garden, Liang Qian pulled himself together and asked Yao Nandong, "Mom, why did you talk to Duan Xinghe's mother?"

"How can we talk about it?" Yao Nandong's tone seemed to be complaining that he asked a stupid question, "Let's talk about it."

"Then, when I came out of the closet, did you feel particularly uncomfortable?"

Liang Yanjie was very excited when he was taught a lesson, and said angrily, "Do you remember now? Your mother cried for several days!"

"Who is crying?" Yao Nandong retorted, "You are the one who sighs every day!"

Liang Qian recalled that year, and felt that he was really too much. He called his mother and said straight to the point that he liked men, but he didn't care about how they accepted him. When he returned home on vacation, his parents didn't mention it, so he just forgot about it After all, it's no surprise that the two elders really regarded them as gods descending from the earth.

The car stopped in front of the villa, and Yao Nandong warned: "Mom Xinghe will definitely not be able to accept it for the time being, so you don't come to disturb others during this time."

"I know." Liang Qian unbuckled his seat belt, strode over to help Yao Nandong pull the car door, and smiled very attentively: "You two have worked hard today."

It's been a long night.

Liang Qian took a shower and leaned against the bedside to read a book. It was a thick monograph on contract law. The theory was profound and the content was boring. He flipped through a few pages and put it down.I browsed all the WeChat groups that I usually don't open, and read some official account articles. Before I knew it, at 01:30 in the morning, there was still no movement from Duan Xinghe.He couldn't bear it any longer and called Duan Xinghe, but he was hung up as soon as he got through, and the other side sent a sentence: "My mother is crying, I will get back to you later."

Liang Qian had nothing to do, so he picked up the Contract Law again and read it at a glance.After four o'clock in the morning, his phone vibrated again, and Duan Xinghe asked, "Are you asleep?"

Liang Qian replied "No" and dialed the phone.The other side picked it up quickly, and he asked, "How is Auntie doing?"

"Fortunately, I just fell asleep." Duan Xinghe thanked Liang Qian, and said that thanks to Liang Yanjie and Yao Nandong, Sun Juan's reaction was much gentler than expected.

Liang Qian asked, "Did your mother scold you?"

"No," Duan Xinghe paused, "I just keep asking me why."

Sun Juan can't understand all this.She has lived for most of her life, and she may have heard people say "gay" once or twice, but the meaning of the word, the people behind it, and the way of life are as far away as a different world to her.It's like she knows about UFOs, but she will never believe that her son is an alien. Isn't that a fantasy?

The two fell into aphasia at the same time, and after a while, Liang Qian asked, "How long do you think it will take for her to accept it?"

"I don't know," Duan Xinghe breathed lightly, "but I'm not biological, so she should be less sad."

Liang Qian scolded him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Really, this is the time I am most grateful to my biological parents. I told my mother that homosexuality is born, not her fault, but the fault of the two people who abandoned me."

Liang Qian felt that Duan Xinghe was a little different tonight. In the past, he would not open up his heart like this, would not show his fragility, and would not say a little wronged when Liang Qian asked "Are you tired?" ".

"Go to bed when you're tired, it'll be dawn in a while."

"Can't sleep," Duan Xinghe seemed to turn over, "Liang Qian, can you sing me a song?"

Liang Qian was surprised: "Do you want to hear it?"

"Everyone used to say that you sing beautifully, but I have never heard of it."

Liang Qian was half sad, half proud. Thinking that he hadn't been to KTV for two years, he was still a little apprehensive, for fear that Duan Xinghe would think "it's just that" and lose face.

But singing still has to be sung, Liang Qian couldn't refuse Duan Xinghe like this.

"What do you want to hear, a lullaby?"

Duan Xinghe smiled: "Anything is fine."

Suddenly, a melody sounded in Liang Qian's mind, brisk, gentle, and peaceful, just like Duan Xinghe.

"Then I sang," the night was too quiet, he cleared his throat, lowered the tune, and sang an old song.

"I came to a strange place from afar, as if I had fallen into a deep sleep for an unknown number of years.

I will come to this place desperately, looking around, the spring scenery along the way is no longer ordinary.

Bailan pigeon, Bailan pigeon, the moment he flies across the rainbow, he is far away, don't stop chasing him. "【Note】

Liang Qian couldn't remember the lyrics, so he sang intermittently, and then he just hummed the tune.After it was over, he asked Duan Xinghe "how is it" in embarrassment, but he didn't receive an answer, only the sound of even breathing came from the receiver.

Liang Qian smiled, waited patiently for a while, hung up the phone, and fell asleep.
