Ruby Cake Shop is the childhood memory of many old Huzhou people.
Xie Qingcheng is no exception.
At that time, the cake shop on Huashan Road with the words "Sino-British Cooperation Ruby" was the place where Xie Qingcheng lived when he was a child, and Xie Ping and Zhou Muying would take them to buy cakes.
The "milk" cream recipe, the chestnut cup, and the "milk" butter are also snacks that Xie Qingcheng's exam results will be rewarded by parents with a smile.
To be honest, if He Yu gave Xie Qingcheng some cakes from an internet celebrity cake shop, it would probably be expensive and unpalatable, and Xie Qingcheng would not appreciate it.
Ruby is different.
Although it is not expensive, it only needs more than two hundred, but He Yu guessed that Xie Qingcheng has feelings for this cake - from the two yuan cup of "milk" tea shop in Yijia Village, it can be seen that Xie Qingcheng is a very sentimental person.
And now it seems that the guess is not correct.
"I also asked for a musical candle in the store." Seeing that Xie Qingcheng's expression softened slightly, He Yu hit the railroad while it was hot.
Xie Qingcheng: "...it's candles again. You can't live with candles tonight."
"It's fun, lotus candle."
When He Yu unpacked the candle, Xie Qing's "sex" was weak, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "...It... hasn't changed?"
It was He Yu's turn to be surprised: "Have you played this?"
"I played it when I was eight years old."
Xie Qingcheng put his hand in his trouser pocket, approached, stood at the table, and took the plastic lotus lamp that now seemed to be of inferior quality with interest. After looking at the lantern carefully for a while, he said to He Yu, "Go and turn off the chandelier."
He Yu was very happy: "I know you like this, you see how smart I am, you and I will definitely not lose—"
"Turn off the lights." Xie Qingcheng interrupted the young man's mother Wang to sell melons.
He Yu had to shut up and went to turn off the switch.
The room was plunged into darkness, and only the faint light of the street lamps outside shone in. Xie Qing lit the zippo lighter, "plugged" the lotus lamp into the "cream" cake, and then leaned over to light it.
hiss...
The fuse was burned, and the splashing golden sparks touched the core, and the lantern that was still tightly closed just now turned on at once, and the five petals made of light pink plastic were in Xie Qingcheng and He Heng. Yu's eyes slowly bloomed, accompanied by the sound of music in the candle's built-in electronic core.
"I wish you a happy life, I wish you a happy life... I wish you happiness, I wish you health, and a warm family... "
"..." He Yu's smile suddenly lost.
Didn't arrive at this live song actually is this version.
Isn't it usually a fool who keeps repeating "I wish you a happy life"
Immediately raised his eyes to look, Xie Qingcheng had already had a faint smile in his eyes, but when he heard the lyrics, his eyes dimmed again.
After a while, he said, "This candle is indeed the same as before, unchanged."
Thirty-three-year-old Xie Qingcheng was standing in the single-person dormitory, looking at the ruby cake with musical candles in front of him. In the swaying halo of the candles, he seemed to see his eight-year-old self, Xie Ping and Zhou Muying standing beside him. , even the smiling Qin Ciyan. Let's say, make a wish.
I forgot what wish I had made at that time, I just remember the feeling of blowing out the candle full of anticipation.
Xie Qingcheng watched Zi blow out the candle when he was a child, and when he opened his eyes again, he could not find Zi's parents and adoptive father.
Seeing Zi standing in a daze, there was no one around...
"I wish you happiness, I wish you health, I wish you a warm family..." Suddenly people clapped their hands and sang this song, Xie Qing came to his senses - the self from childhood disappeared, and standing opposite was He who watched by candlelight give.
He Yu was very out of tune. After the little madman sang the song and wanted to make up for something, he said to him, "I wish you and I a warm family."
Xie Qingcheng: "…"
"Xie Qingcheng, don't be sad anymore." Coax.
"I wish you a happy rebirth."
As the boy spoke, he leaned over across the table, and in the gentle and brilliant brilliance of the lotus lamp, approached, and once again closed his eyes and kissed Professor Xie's lips.
The kiss was gentle and reverent.
It's a pity that when the kiss ended, what he said was extremely unreliable: "I'll wait for you to sleep with me at any time."
Xie Qingcheng: "...Go away."
After the two had eaten the cake and cleaned up the garbage, it was already one o'clock. Xie Qingcheng gave the bed to He Yu and slept on the sofa. He Yu refused and insisted on changing, but Xie Qingcheng refused seriously as the host, and said that if He Yu was disobedient, let him go to the dormitory.
He Yu had to finish brushing his teeth and go to Xie Qingcheng's bed to sleep.
This is the case with fathers, you can never take care of them for too long, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable all over.
That night, neither He Yu nor Xie Qingcheng slept well. He Yu was lying between the pillows and mattresses full of Xie Qingcheng's breath, how did he sleep on this bed before Xie Qingcheng arrived, it was extremely hot. Although he had vented in the bathroom before, the young man was very refined, and He Yu hadn't eaten for a long time. Now he is lying on the bed of the person he loves, his heart is full, and he is bored in the quilt to solve some problems. Unfortunately, the door is open. Yes, the sound will be heard by Xie Qingcheng. I had to toss and turn like this, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Outside the bedroom, in the living room, Xie Qingcheng was sitting on the sofa, talking about all kinds of things that happened before, from the videotape, to the mysterious person who sent the videotape, from Obedient Water, to Huang Zhilong's film and television company, and finally to He Yu's filming company tonight. Absurd and funny boy behavior.
Raised his hand, knuckles caressing his eyebrows.
so childish...
He is ten years old, and he has been doing life tasks since this age, and He Yu is still just a kid.
But I don't know why, when I looked at Wang Heyu's room, that heavy heart was loosened somewhat.
Xie Qingcheng realized this and felt the pain even more. He "rubbed" his brow bone and sighed. He took off his jacket and lay down to rest while passing his fingers through the tie buckle.
a time.
Technical Investigation Section of Shanghai Municipal Bureau.
It was already midnight, and the policemen who worked overtime were also a little tired. Most of them were sleeping lightly in the office, planning to take a break before continuing their work.
Technician Daming came from outside with a large bag of "milk" tea.
"After a long journey, I finally found one that is still open. I'm almost a takeaway rider." Daming distributed the "milk" tea to the people in the office, "There are so many cases these days, it's really frustrating Uh, hurry up and drink something to refresh yourself, it is estimated that you will have to stay all night tonight."
"Wow, it's rare for you to be so generous." A tired-looking policeman took a cup of "milk" tea and did not forget to tease the other party.
"Yeah, it cost more than three hundred for such a big bag. How much is your kid's salary? The sun came out in the west today."
Daming scratched embarrassedly: "It's rare, everyone usually takes care of me. Hey, by the way, where is my master? Still in the certification room?"
"It's still here, you go."
Daming went with a cup of "milk" tea.
An old forensic doctor stood in the certificate room, wearing a white lab coat, shaking the test tube in his hand, carefully checking the changes in the solution under the cool incandescent light.
"Master." Daming handed the "milk" tea, "Drink some hot drink and honor you."
The old forensic doctor didn't move his eyes, still focused on the reagent in his hand, and whispered: "No, I'm already old, I don't drink this stuff, the three highs, the salary I get will have to go to sent to the hospital."
Daming: "I ordered sugar-free, pure milk for you, which is very healthy."
"The sugar content of sugar-free ones is also over the limit. You kid don't read newspapers." The old forensic doctor snorted, disdain for such junk food, "Take it away, take it away."
The flattering smile on Daming's face quickly collapsed in the dark place where the old forensic doctor couldn't see it, and out of the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at the dv on the "operation" console of the old forensic doctor.
It has been many days since the mysterious death of the female star under the Zhilong Group. I heard that the images in this dv are almost restored due to the master's exquisite craftsmanship.
But still haven't completed the task that he took over.
Daming is not so much a technician as a "greasy official". Being a policeman is not in line with the original intention of most people to be a policeman. He grew up in a village when he was a child, and had a misunderstanding of the policeman, thinking that it was OK. The uncles who shout to the masses are the same as the officials in costume dramas.
This method was not corrected from the bottom of my heart until I was admitted to the police academy and swore an oath to the police badge.
Da Ming's body is not good. After graduation, he will develop into the field of technical investigation. However, technical investigation is a careful job. It needs to be calm and calm. There are often more conversations with people and corpses than people.
Even though the old detective he brought was a well-known veteran of the city bureau's technical investigations, Daming couldn't hold it any longer.
His dream is not to deal with test-tube beakers for a lifetime, but to have a dinner table, get promoted and get rich, and return home in good clothes.
Too bad the reality is too skinny.
Daming is in his thirties, still at the grassroots level. He is not serious in his work, and his speech is too greasy. Seeing that he was going to live his whole life, Daming was unavoidably active, and often asked if he could be transferred to a department. It seemed that the dead would not give money or bribes. The oil and water of the technical investigation is really too little.
And now, female stars who died tragically can actually become treasures.
The person who wanted DV had already given 300,000 in cash, and Daming had a dream for several days. As long as DV was in hand, the other party promised to give another 10 million in remuneration, enough to resign and eat and drink for a lifetime.
Unable to withstand the "temptation" of money, like a snake dormant in the dark, spitting out letters, waiting for the opportunity to strike...
"Master." Daming left and returned, but the content in his hand was replaced by a cup of hot tea, "You don't drink 'milk' tea, you must drink some water to rest. You are so old, and you are not Take it easy."
The old forensic doctor: "You are really filial today."
"Respect you, it should be."
A little bit of sleeping "medicine" in the cup, Daming was willing to take the risk for ten million.
It’s not that I don’t know it’s illegal, but people who know the law and understand the law are the most terrifying, because they will exploit legal loopholes, and even make a trade-off between the criminal consequences and the benefits, as long as the benefits are enough Many people would even think that it doesn't matter if they commit a crime.
After all, the old forensic doctor was still too tired. He had been concentrating on work for too long. Looking at the steaming cup of tea, his mouth was really thirsty.
"This tea is quite fragrant."
"The most dahongpao in the cabinet, I'll soak it for you when I touch it."
When the old forensic doctor heard this, his tongue was full of saliva, and he finally went to the sink to kill him. He then took the tea handed by Daming and walked to the window in the outer corridor. While resting, he slowly finished a cup of tea.
"Tsk, it's really good tea, you should try it too."
Daming's face glowed with joy: "How can I match it, Master, you work hard, you drink it."
The old forensic doctor was very comfortable being flattered, snorted again, continued to put on a new pair of examination gloves, and was busy in front of the "operation" console.
Daming waited quietly.
It seems that he is trying to give the teacher a hand, but in fact, he has been waiting for the effect of the sleeping "medicine" to take effect.
The old forensic doctor gradually began to feel sleepy. He yawned a few times, and then sighed: "This is how old you are... It's only a few hours, and your heart is exhausted."
He boiled for a while, until the upper eyelids were really sticking to the eyelids, the old forensic doctor had to give up: "Xiao Ming, the reaction of the reagent in the No. 2 cup needs to record the value for ten minutes, you help me keep an eye on it, I will go to the next door to rest. Sleep for a while, and call me in half an hour."
Daming is waiting for this sentence.
I was so excited that I even worried that the pounding sound of my heart would attract the teacher's attention, and said, "Okay, you can sleep in peace. I'm watching here."
When he said this, he even felt that his voice was more shrill than usual because of his nervousness.
It's a pity that the old forensic doctor was so sleepy that he didn't notice the strangeness of his apprentice. He yawned and turned to leave the laboratory.
As soon as Daming left, he immediately rushed to the "operation" console, put on gloves, opened the combination lock with trembling hands, and took out the pair of DVs worth 10 million from the temporary storage cabinet.
When I was holding it, I didn't feel that what I was holding in my hand was evidence that could redress the victim's injustice, but felt that it was the dream of a chicken and a dog that had been waiting for too long.
Under the shadowless lamp, his face seemed to be waxed and distorted.
I swallowed my saliva and quickly stuffed the dv into the plastic bag prepared in advance.
Ten million… ten million! !
I have seen Shu and the beauty beckoning, and shivered with excitement, but I am afraid it is the most extraordinary professional ability in my life, and quickly wiped away some traces of the scene, including the one that the teacher threw in the trash can. The paper cup, with the rest of the sleeping "medicine" on it, was also put into his arms, ready to be taken out of the police station quietly.
After all this was done, I was already sweating - it was God's help, no one accidentally entered the door during this process, and the monitoring of this room happened to be during the maintenance period, and I heard Master complaining in the morning.
all good...
It's all great.
In addition to being excited, Daming stared at the dv in his hand, and a thought suddenly occurred in his heart—
I know very well, what exactly will be in this dv, it is worth paying such a high price to get it
Master has restored the memory card, and maybe some of the images can be viewed... Daming whispered like a demon in his ear, tempting to turn on the machine and take a look at the contents.
His thumb was shaking, and Daming could hear the sound of snoring and panting.
As if being "manipulated" by an invisible thread, he moved his hand to the button of the Pandora's Box...
"Click."
Hold your breath.
After a few seconds of dead silence, the dv screen actually turned on.
The faint blue light reflected on Daming's pale face, and Daming stared at the screen, then—
"!!!"
Daming suddenly burst into night sweats! He didn't hold his hand firmly, and DV slammed to the ground!
"How, how could..."
In the shaking picture, what appeared unexpectedly was Zheng Jingfeng, a heroic policeman who was well-received by the public and well-known for criminal investigation! ! !
Zheng Jingfeng looked at the screen and towards the person off-screen, with a smile that seemed especially creepy in the dark.
Daming's ass "urine" flow! !
Why... Why does Zheng Jingfeng appear in the DV of the deceased
Why did such a person already appear in the certificate, but Master didn't say anything
The chill wrapped around Daming like a snake, and Daming fell to the ground, feeling that he was trapped in a bottomless abyss. Compared with Zheng Jingfeng and Master, he felt that he was nothing at all... He suddenly reacted and rushed over to pack his things in a hurry.
You must give this DV to the mysterious person, then take the money and escape from the country as quickly as possible, and then—
creak.
The door opened.
Seeing a familiar figure standing at the door against the light, even if you don't have to look at his face, you know who that person is.
Master said to him in an unprecedentedly cold, terrifying tone, "...you have seen it all."
