Mr Killer Next Door

"Mr. Jiang, he asked me to bring you something."

Jiuwu put the briefcase on the bedside table, unfastened the buckle, took out the contents and handed it to Jiang Yu.

It was some paintbrushes of different colors and a whole pack of sketching paper.

"Shihuan said that you are good at oil painting, but you can't buy these things everywhere. I know he is trying to make it difficult for me. You still have a long period of time in hospital. I hope this can help you pass the time."

"Thank you." Jiang Yu thanked him politely. He knew that the purpose of Jiuwu's presence here was not just to show kindness. "Is there anything Lawyer Jiuwu can do for me?"

"I just want to take a closer look at someone who is worthy of his trust."

Jiang Yu couldn't help looking into his eyes.

"Why?—and, I wonder why he sent you his own drawing."

"It's just childish revenge." He shook his head helplessly, "That painting reminds me of something, Shihuan is warning me, warning me that he will never forget."

"Forget what."

The lawyer didn't answer.

"The oil painting you sent is different. It is not purely an art appreciation. Even the strokes are full of lust. I realized that Shihuan is already an adult, he is no longer at the mercy of others, and he no longer needs me."

Jiang Yu originally wanted to ask 'what is your relationship', but he still needs to digest the sourness behind this question for a while.

"--lust?"

"You're not looking at a client who's only concerned with money, or admiring a classically beautiful body, and that painting doesn't seem to me to be just a representation of something—you're creating your own muse. See When it comes to the kind of brushstrokes that can only be swayed by lust, I really want to ask you, Mr. Jiang, do you love him?"

"Why ask this question."

"I'm just a little curious." Hisaya didn't continue to ask, "You know that being with that child will bring bad luck, just leave him, just hand over the boy to his anxious father-not only will you be able to escape unscathed, you will Making a profit from it is far beyond your imagination. Mr. Jiang, why don't you do it?"

Jiang Yu stared at him firmly, answering irrelevant questions.

"...So you left him?"

Jiuya understood that the patient in front of him was trying to express the epitome of the past through his own language.

He could only smile slightly awkwardly, and abruptly changed the subject.

"Let's rest early, Mr. Jiang. I still have some things to deal with, so I will take my leave first."

"Are you married?"

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Yu suddenly called out to him.

Hisaya turned around without a word, and showed the police officer the ring on his ring finger.

"Second marriage."

"For what reason did you get divorced?"

"It's not important." Regarding the details of this issue, Hisaya avoided talking about it. He just gave a more general statement, "Maybe I'm tired of each other, and maybe I want to find a new life. All in all, this is my private matter .”

"Private affairs, you are right. Lawyer Jiuwu, I really have no right to criticize your private affairs. But since you asked me why, then I have to answer."

Jiang Yu casually twisted a strand of blond hair in his hand, and curled it into a thin strand at his fingertips.

"The road on the mountain is indeed muddy and difficult. Sometimes, the stones on the road alone can wear out the soles of your shoes. As long as you let go of your burden, this hurdle will be solved quickly. But sometimes, what you want to leave behind is not the burden, It is the person you are determined to accompany for the rest of your life."

Hisaya gave him a deep look, but finally said nothing.

"—as you say, Muse, lust, whatever. But love, love always suffers."

***

The children on the sand were having fun everywhere. Led by the little boy who lost a tooth, they dug up the sand pits with their bare hands, piled up shapeless sand castles one after another, and then destroyed them.

The boys raced to the slide, cheering their way down from the start of the track.

The ball rolled to his feet.

Jiang Yu was riding on a low rocking horse. It was a purple unicorn, except for the paint on the eyes.

And on his right, a little boy whose face could not be seen clearly was riding a black rabbit, his body swaying back and forth.

The kid was eating a stick of ice cream that was about to melt.

"Uncle."

"I told you to call me brother."

The boy's mouth was smeared with sweet vanilla juice.

Facing Jiang Yu's stare, he fell into a brief thought, and compromised after a while.

"—Okay. Brother."

Jiang Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Taking out the vibrating cell phone and taking a look, Do Min Chan is asking about the current situation.

While replying to the other party's message, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the boy.

"When will your lawyer pick you up?"

[The child has been found.He's safe now, but I can't figure out why he would choose to go to court with his own father. 】

Do Min Chan: [Very well, you only need to maintain a good relationship with him, don't worry about the rest. 】

[Are you sure you don't want me to return to the team?Can you handle such a huge amount of data by yourself? 】

Do Min Chan: [Don't worry about this.Even you are taught by me, what else can be difficult for me? — Keep an eye on that boy, and let me know if he has any other contact with anyone outside of this lawsuit. 】

【Okay...so be it.I'll take care of the baby for you, just work harder for your promotion, busy man. 】

Du Mincan: 【You have always been reliable. 】

"I don't know." The boy leaned over to check the time, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Jiang Yu exchanging news with others.He didn't dare to delve too deeply into other people's privacy, so he quickly shrank back, "Are you busy? Are you leaving soon?"

"I'm not very busy at work right now. I just sneak out from my busy schedule."

He put the phone back in his pocket, grabbed the handle and continued to shake it.Sitting curled up on a unicorn is actually not comfortable.

Jiang Yu propped up his chin and moved his legs with difficulty.

"You are still young, and you don't know what the life of an adult is like. Sometimes, you can't help yourself."

"Is that why the uncle didn't leave me where I am?" The boy took two bites of the ice cream and blinked thoughtfully, "I thought the uncle would find it troublesome and just walk away."

"You are a minor. It would be too inhumane to leave you alone in that kind of place, even at the gate of the judiciary. Of course I have to wait for the parents to pick you up, otherwise if you are abducted by some trafficker, I will I feel sorry in my heart. Wait, are you calling me uncle again?"

"Ah, brother." The boy hurriedly held his head and looked over cautiously, "Big brother, tell me, is it possible for me to win the lawsuit?"

"Maybe." Jiang Yu shook the unicorn twice depressedly, listening to the springs creaking in his ears, "As long as your lawyer is trustworthy, you can always get something from this lawsuit, such as pocket money , such as the dismissal of a teacher who physically punishes students, or the fidget spinner that strikes after playing for a while.”

"Can you win as long as you have a lawyer?"

"There is no such absolute thing in the world, I can't give you an accurate answer." Jiang Yu thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Well, I'm curious about one thing, why did you file a lawsuit with others? Are there conflicts, or is life not ideal? Or someone snatched away the things you like?"

"Uncle, in the eyes of adults, do children only cry because of such things?"

"You called me uncle again, okay." Jiang Yu was stared at by him, and could only smile dryly, "If these words offend you, then I'm sorry. A person who has the courage to find a lawyer by himself, and then a piece of paper A young boy who takes someone else to court must have had a lot of guts."

"Hmm... Uncle suddenly apologized, it feels so strange." The child frowned, his legs on the pedals suddenly exerted force, and the black rabbit under him swayed violently back and forth, "Well, that's right, I want to file a lawsuit for one person .That's it. The lawyer said I can't tell others the inside story of the matter. Doing so will involve the uncle."

"It seems that there is something hidden." Jiang Yu didn't ask further.

"Yes." The boy muttered uncertainly, "Uncle, let me ask you. If one day, your very important person is bullied by a villain, not only will you be injured all over, but you may not be able to see each other in the future. Uncle What will you do?"

"What will I do..."

Like stuck with this sudden problem.

Jiang Yu looked up at the clouds above his head, and his nasal cavity became slightly moist.

"If I had the chance, I would also like to ask myself, what would I do?"

"Uncle, I can't understand you."

"I mean." Jiang Yu gently rubbed the top of the boy's hair, "If your important person is bullied, if you really never see him again. No matter what the result is, I will stand by you Here."

I don't know when, these long-term memories appear more and more frequently.

Jiang Yu couldn't remember some of the details, maybe the lethargy of the past few days had indeed brought about a negative impact.

During this time, what impressed him the most was the quiet Qiu Shihuan.

Whenever Jiang Yu opened his eyes, the child would lie beside him like a lazy cat in winter, covering nearly one-third of the quilt.

Quiet sleeping face, slightly trembling eyelashes, fingers that always grab something to settle down.

He fell into a drowsy sleep, and even the light-toned soft lips made people bend over to pick them.

At this time, he recorded the moment with a sharpened pencil.

Sketching is always based on the outline of the shape, and imaginative processing. He enjoys doing this so much that he didn't notice that he had taken the last piece of drawing paper.

Jiang Yu himself didn't know what time it was, and he also forgot the day when he woke up.

The calendar by the bed is constantly changing.

Valentina and the others would come every day, sometimes to offer condolences, and sometimes to bring boxes of snacks and fruits. They would occasionally gossip about the family and talk about some incredible news, but Jiang Yu couldn't remember the specific content.

In the end, they scheduled their discharge to coincide with Valentina's departure to the train station.

When he was pushed at the desk and signed out the hospital form, Jiang Yu realized that he had been lying in the hospital for nearly a month.

"The chest X-ray is in good condition, and the hematoma is drained cleanly. The chest should recover after another three weeks of immobilization. Can the eyes keep up with my fingers? Very good, draw a clock here." The doctor handed him a piece of paper, "From one to twelve, I need to confirm the recovery status of your brain."

Jiang Yu took the pen and drew a scribbled clock according to the doctor's request.

The doctor looked at the numbers and standard shapes completed in sequence, and nodded in approval.

"It seems that the autonomic nerves have been adjusted. Of course, the complete recovery of the cerebral cortex may take a little longer, and you can be discharged from the hospital. But remember, you still need to come back for regular checkups during the concussion recovery period."

"I see, thank you."

The attending doctor looked down at the film for a few more times, explained some precautions to Jiang Yu, and immediately took the list to see the next patient.

There are still ten minutes before the time agreed with Yu Sanhai.

Jiang Yu was carrying a bag of medicine and stood in the shadow of the platform in the waiting area.

Qiu Shihuan looked up at him.

"Uncle, do you still remember to take me to eat roast duck?"

"How long ago was this?"

"I don't care, the uncle said it, so he must take me there."

Jiang Yu touched the head of the wayward brat.

"Okay, I know. When Lao Yu comes to pick us up later, tell him to put us directly in front of the roast duck shop."

"Yeah!" The footsteps beside him kicked happily.

A few minutes later, they did arrive with a car—a Ford Mustang.

In terms of taste, the iconic shark nose and round headlights are not Yu Sanhai's style.

Of course, the key factor in denying this possibility is the price. The second-hand cars that Jiang Yu found in his garage, except for the annual inspection, were auto parts.

It was the rolled down window that answered them.

The driver's seat stretched out an arm wrapped in a suit, which was naturally placed aside.The classic watch and wedding ring on the wrist have already explained the identity of the visitor.

Jiang Yu remembered his face and his iconic gold-rimmed glasses.

It's Hisaya.

"Lawyer Jiuwu." Jiang Yu greeted, "Do you have anything to do with us?"

Qiu Shihuan's smile collapsed.

"Hey? Why are you here?"

"Shihuan?"

The boy tilted his head puzzled.

He opened his innocent blue eyes and deliberately raised his voice.

"It's disgusting. Why did Lawyer Hisaya appear here? Ah, so it's because I don't know how annoying I am?"

"Well, come on, it's on the street."

Jiang Yu hastily pulled the child behind him, hugging the other's shoulders to cover his eyes.

He tried to grab Qiu Shihuan's fidgeting wrist, but he only felt that the suppression of strength once again took the lead.

Children usually never resist too much against themselves, Jiang Yu knows this well.

But this time, he might not be able to hold the opponent down.

"What's going on, what happened between you?"

Qiu Shihuan was not happy that he blocked him, and stomped his feet angrily.

"Just don't tell uncle!"

"You child, if you don't tell me, how would I know?"

"I just, don't! Uncle—let me go, let me go!" He jumped up like a rabbit, "Let me break his glass, just one, one. Just stick the glass in at the end Just put it in Lawyer Jiuwu's neck, it won't be too troublesome!"

Seeing that he couldn't control the situation, Jiang Yu could only put his hands on his back and pinched the boy's right buttocks hard.

"Wow!"

Qiu Shihuan yelled and jumped up blushing.

"Okay, shut up. Don't make a fuss, or I'll pinch the one on the left."

"So nasty, uncle is so nasty..."

Looking at the willful young man, Hisaya smiled happily, but his lips parted silently.

"Shihuan. I will help you. I don't want any reward, nor your trust. I know I don't have this position, but what you are going to do next, just with the two of you, is likely to be irreversible. I have collected With some evidence, I..."

Qiu Shihuan put his arms around Jiang Yu's waist obediently, and grinned.

"What should I do? Lawyer Jiuwu, I don't want your evidence. Because I have something I want very much now."

"Go ahead."

"Do you have money?"

Hisaya was stunned for a moment.

"Yes. What are you coming for?"

"I seem to have asked a question that is not very wise. Of course you have to be rich." Qiu Shihuan sarcastically said with a smile, "After all, you got so much from your father. So much that you can even afford a car."

Hisaya's face suddenly turned pale, and even the tone of his explanation became extremely shaken.

"I wouldn't do that to you."

"Well, well, if you can find a way to stop breathing forever, I'll take your word for it."

Qiu Shihuan smiled and shook his body like a lively little sparrow.

Before he could feel complacent, he felt a familiar hand reach out to his lower back and pinch lightly like a threat.

The child immediately clamped his legs and stood up straight.

"—Lawyer Jiuwu, I don't have any money with me now, because my father froze my bank card. What should I do? I want to eat roast duck now."

"Get in the car." Jiuwu didn't know the reason for his sudden change of attitude, so he quickly agreed, "I'm treating you."
