Seven's secret

Murong Qing slowly walked around the small courtyard under construction, and then found a big rock to sit down and bask in the sun.

The courtyard wall has been repaired, and his home has begun to take shape.There are still a lot of saplings piled up outside the courtyard wall, the roots are covered with soil, and the branches have already sprouted bits and pieces of tender green.A middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet was instructing the workers to work. Murong Qing had never seen him before, so he guessed that he was probably a supervisor.When he came out of the yard, he looked at Murong Qing quite vigilantly, probably seeing that he had been sitting obediently watching the excitement, and did not do anything special, so he stopped talking to him afterwards.

The terrain near the woods is slightly higher, Murong sat lightly for a long time and could only see a corner of the vegetable garden, the roof and almost a third of the pond.Xu Yongcheng's design is ingenious. The height of the courtyard wall, the orientation of the house, and the layout of the trees and rockery are all fully utilized, which is sufficient to block the prying eyes from the outside.

Murong Qing's stature is no longer short, and even he didn't see anything, which made him feel very relieved.

Murong looked at his home lightly, the cloud in his heart dissipated little by little.Look, even if it is such a good yard, there will inevitably be mice and cockroaches in it. How can there be no twists and turns in life?Even if he is a banknote, not everyone loves it. Isn't there still many people who are used to swiping cards and don't like to carry cash, let alone he is just an ordinary person?Meeting people who hate him, being used or even hurt by those with ulterior motives is actually no big deal.In this world, how many people live glamorously from birth to death?

Murong Qing stood up from the rock, patted the dust off his body, and decided to cheer up and live his own life, not to be disturbed by irrelevant people when he had nothing to do.

When he wandered back to pick up the car, Pei Rong called him.During this period of time, they were busy with cases, and they were almost closed. Not to mention calling him, even Grandpa Pei didn't know where his grandson was hanging around.Seeing him calling now, the first thought in Murong Qing's mind was: Is the case over?

"Xiao Qi?" Seeing that the phone was connected but no one spoke, Pei Rong was a little puzzled, "Hello?"

Murong said quickly, "I'm here."

Pei Rong let out a long sigh of relief, "What are you busy with? I haven't seen you for several days."

"Me," Murong Qing glanced at his gradually forming home not far away, a smile unconsciously floated on his lips, "I'm looking at the house."

Pei Rong paused, "Want to buy a house?"

Murong smiled lightly and said, "I'm building a house. I want to build a country compound in your city. You can grow vegetables and raise fish. From now on, you'll eat the vegetables you grow yourself without using pesticides."

Pei Rong laughed, obviously not taking his words seriously, "Well, this is the dream of all city people."

Murong Qing didn't explain, just laughed, "My family will grow more vegetables in the future, I'll share some with your family."

Pei Rong didn't take it seriously, "What are you doing so much trouble, can't you just let me eat at your house? How about I pay you the rent and meals, and let me work at your house."

The worried expression of Mr. Pei suddenly flashed in Murong Qing's mind, and he paused in his heart, next year, next year or a few years later, will he still be able to say such a thing?

"If your family doesn't object," Murong Qing said, "Of course there's no problem."

Pei Rong's breathing paused for a moment, "Is what you said true?"

Murong nodded lightly, "Yes."

There was no sound from Pei Rong again. After a while, he heard him wheezing and saying: "Hey, hey, you mean what you say. No, we have to sign a contract. Although verbal agreements are also legally binding, they are not as reliable as written in black and white. .”

Murong Qing didn't bother to pay attention to his crazy words, and was about to hang up the phone when Pei Rong said: "Xiao Qi, let's have dinner together tonight."

Murong Qing didn't react, "Can you come out casually? The case is over?"

Pei Rongting sighed with emotion, "It's over." After a pause, he added, "Thanks to you."

"Don't say that," Murong said lightly, "I actually didn't do anything."

Pei Rong was used to not talking about business on the phone, so he changed the subject and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Murong Qing thought for a while and said, "I want to eat very spicy dishes."

Pei Rong snapped his fingers, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

Ever since Pei Rong sent Murong Qing and the two cats away, his mental state was a little bit off.On the one hand, he didn't think that Murong Qing would be so bored that he would bring two cats to play with him, but it was also very difficult to convince him that a cat would provide clues.He could only look up the woman identified by the cat with a dubious attitude.

Unexpectedly, this investigation really found the problem.

"The case is closed now, so it's okay to tell you," Pei Rong tore off the film on the outside of the tableware for him, took out a cup and poured hot tea, "Guess what I found out?"

Murong asked him lightly, "It can't be an affair or something?" He still remembered the photo of the family of three on the desk, no matter from which angle you looked at it, it was an ordinary harmonious family.The man in the photo had a gentle face, and he didn't look like the type who would go out and have a good time.

Pei Rong sneered, "Secret affair? Using this word will take advantage of this hooligan. The whole thing is a scum, I'm so stupid."

Murong lightly thought of the boy with green eyes in the photo, and felt a little sad.

"That girl just went to work the year before last. She's in her twenties. She's quite a simple child," Pei Rong said shortly. "Anyway, it's this hooligan who deceived her. She acted like a bosom brother at first, and then... then she did it. This is not the most wicked thing, what is wicked is that the antiques from the girl's house were deceived by him, and they were not given to others. So... a tragedy happened."

Of course, the case is not so simple to talk about it. The relationship between the murderer and the accomplice, and the intricate relationship between several murders and dismemberment cases, I am afraid that one night is not enough to explain in detail.He didn't want to have a face-to-face meeting so easily, and it turned out that it was all about the case. "You went to my house?" Pei Rong asked him, "What did my grandpa say?" Pei Rong thought he could start with Murong Qing. Check out the tone, if conditions permit, you can try to draw everyone's attention to the target person.In order to prevent everyone from endlessly persuading him with the idea of ​​asking him to find a woman to try.

Murong Qing glanced at him very carefully, he wondered if something happened to the Pei family that he didn't know about.Maybe it has something to do with the girl I saw at Pei's house during the Spring Festival, the two didn't like each other, or the progress didn't reach Mr. Pei's goal.Murong Qing felt that the latter case was more likely.Because he could see Mr. Pei's eager welcome attitude towards that girl, and he didn't think Pei Rong would go against his grandfather.He is the child brought up by Mr. Pei alone, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they depend on each other for life.

Pei Rong was still waiting for his answer, so Murong Qing had no choice but to say vaguely, "He looks a little worried."

"Is that so..." Pei Rong was a little embarrassed.He sighed in front of him, and looked worried when he was behind his back. Did he think about it or didn't think about it?

"Did he talk about my parents coming back?"

Murong nodded lightly.

Pei Rong asked again: "What was his expression when he talked about this?"

Murong Qing thought about it carefully, "I'm still quite worried."

Pei Rong also began to feel worried.Forget it, since the situation is still so unclear, let's endure it for a few more days in front of Xiao Qi.If it's clear now, wouldn't Xiao Qi be worried together.If he didn't hold back later and showed his feet in front of his grandfather, the conflict in the family would immediately escalate.Maybe they will continue to point the finger at Xiao Qi, the target person.

"It's nothing." Pei Rong laughed dryly, "Are you old enough to worry about nothing. It's nothing."

Murong lightly said tentatively: "Uncle said, let your parents come back and educate you." The word education is very strange. What bad thing did Pei Rong do that needs to be educated by his parents?

Pei Rong talked about him from left to right, "Oh, did we both order the stir-fried twice-cooked pork with green garlic sprouts just now? It's his family's signature dish, and it's absolutely delicious."

Murong sighed softly, "It's done."

Pei Rong said again: "Hey, Xiaoqi, what do you think the old lady outside is holding? It's still stuffed in her pocket. Is it a cat?"

Murong Qing followed the direction of his fingers to see that an old woman in a gray coat had just passed by the window, with a small fluffy head sticking out of her pocket, it seemed to be a kitten.

Pei Rong asked again: "Did you hear what it said?"

Murong Qing looked at him helplessly, "I said I could understand their speech, but I didn't say I could read the lips of animals." There was a layer of glass window between them, so it's not like that if you have nothing to say Find a way.

"I said," Pei Rong looked at a person and a cat walking away from the window, "Can you really understand their meow?"

Murong asked him lightly, "What do you think?"

Pei Rong put on a thoughtful expression, "I think from a scientific point of view, it should be that you have received the brain waves of animals, and then decomposed the brain waves to understand what they want to express."

Murong Qing, "..."

Pei Rong reached out and tapped his forehead lightly.He saw Murong Qing's long and curved eyelashes flapping quickly when his hand approached, but he didn't dodge it, and he immediately felt better, "Here, which structure do you have that looks similar to other people's?" Not the same, so you can receive the brain waves of small animals."

Murong coughed uncomfortably, "According to what you said, is it because you heard me with your ears? Or is it because your brain has received my brain waves, so you understand what I want to express?"

"Of course the ear receives the sound signal, the signal is transmitted to the brain, and the brain analyzes the result." Pei Rong said with a smile: "So I guess your special function is also the same principle. To explain it in a scientific way, your receiving range is wider than the average Human beings need to be wide-ranging, not only to receive signals from humans, but also to receive signals from animals."

Murong Qing didn't think about this before, but it sounds quite reasonable.

Pei Rong always wanted to ask him if Qingshu and his brother Xiaoliu also had this function, but he hesitated for a while and still didn't ask.He is only interested in Xiaoqi's own secrets, as for what happens to others, what does it have to do with him?If he is willing to speak, then he will listen, if he does not want to speak, then he will not speak.Pei Rong did not forget the plan he made, the most important thing is to make Murong Qing feel relaxed and comfortable when he is with him.

Pei Rong asked him worriedly, "No one else knows about this, right? Don't be so stupid as to tell everyone."

"No." Murong Qing thought to himself, he was not stupid.Besides, those elder brothers in his family are not considered others.

Pei Rong felt relieved, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. If my grandpa tells you anything these days, you won't know."

Murong raised his eyebrows lightly to look at him, "What do you mean?"

Pei Rong reached out and rubbed Murong Qing's head, "I will explain to you when all these troubles are over."

Seeing the puzzled expression on Murong Qing's face, Pei Rong silently added in his heart that he hoped that day would come soon.
