Hou Jianjun couldn't accept that his son had been killed, and his cloudy eyes kept staring at Mingshu. Over the years, Mingshu has dealt with countless families of victims, but every time he faces a new victim's family, he still feels helpless.
As the saying goes, "Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way".
Criminal police are not numb because they are used to seeing misfortune.
The pain is always deep and clear. They can finally bring a murderer like Hou Cheng to justice, but they cannot restore a complete family.
Compared with Yang Nanke, Hou Pao's murder is even more distressing.
He may not be good at expressing his love for his father, or he may be eager to jump out of the countryside. His relationship with Hou Jianjun has never been close to outsiders. But the two insurance policies are enough to show that Hou Jianjun has always been his most important relative.
After finding out that he was ill, Hou Pao didn't tell anyone around him that he was desperate and went to work in a place like Powder Snow Paradise, calling him ignorant or stupid.
Does Hou Pao want to make money to treat diseases
Still know that he can't give Hou Jianjun a pension, so he burns it one last time to save enough money for Hou Jianjun
"I guess Hou Pao wanted to save some money for Hou Jianjun." Hua Chong said: "Hou Pao only went to the hospital twice in total. The doctor suggested hospitalization. He only took the medicine once, so he should have given up."
"If he tells Hou Jianjun..." Mingshu thought for a while, "If the old village chief sold both the fields and the house, he might be able to pay for his treatment."
"He wouldn't do that." Hua Chong sighed, "A serious illness can bring down a middle-class family, let alone a rural single-parent family like him. He didn't say anything, he just didn't want Hou Jianjun to know. Even if he left, The rest of Hou Jianjun's life will at least not be too poor."
Mingshu shook his head, "But he never thought that Hou Jianjun would regret and suffer for a lifetime."
After a while, Hua Chongcai continued: "This may be the most correct decision he can make."
Mingshu couldn't refute.
People have all kinds of struggles and helplessness, and others are not qualified to judge a person's choice in a desperate situation.
"I'll take Hou Jianjun to the hospital." Mingshu got up and said, "Then go directly from the hospital to the high-speed rail station."
Hua Chong said, "You'd better take a rest."
"It's okay, I can sleep on the high-speed train." Mingshu smiled, "Let's go, I'll invite you to drink with Teacher Liu next time."
Hou Jianjun was speechless when he was sent to the hospital. Along with Mingshu were several criminal police officers from the Los Angeles City Bureau. After Hou Jianjun was settled, it was not too long before the high-speed rail drive. Mingshu was about to rush to the high-speed rail station to meet everyone when he suddenly heard a commotion from upstairs.
A word he heard a lot lately stimulated his nerves—
"Damn you! Damn! I'll kill you!"
In just a split second, he realized that a patient or family member was beating the doctor upstairs.
He quickly pushed aside the crowd and rushed two floors in a row, and sure enough, he saw a group of people scrambling together.
Several screams came from the center of the chaos, and blood was already seen on the ground.
"Help!" Someone shouted: "Doctor Wang was stabbed! He has a knife!"
In an emergency, the security guard's response was always one beat slow. Mingshu saw the blood-stained knife and rushed over immediately, jumped high, kicked his right foot, and kicked the knife out with a "smack".
The perpetrator fell to the ground clutching his wrists, screaming and screaming, and Mingshu slashed his hands.
Only then did the security arrive, and several people got on together to suppress the perpetrator.
Dr. Wang, who was stabbed, was stabbed in the thigh and has been lifted onto the push bed.
The scene was chaotic. When the police from the police station arrived, the perpetrator was still shouting: "Wang can't cure my mother, why are you protecting him, he should be damned!"
Ming Shu sealed the knife in the evidence bag and handed it over to the police. The police hurriedly thanked him and said, "This Liu Hui has been making trouble many times. It must be said that Dr. Wang killed his mother. We found out that Dr. Wang did not have any Where did you fail your duty, why should you die? Hey, the most troublesome thing right now is the problem of doctors and patients..."
"The most troublesome thing is hostility." Mingshu murmured, "It's the trend of thinking that others are damned at every turn."
The police did not hear clearly, "Ah? What did you say?"
"This person has been suspected of intentional harm." Mingshu said, "Take it back and investigate it carefully."
Because of this sudden accident, when Mingshu arrived at the high-speed rail station, the train had already left. Xiao Yuan changed the ticket and waited for him at the entrance.
"They've all gone?" Mingshu asked.
Xiao Yu'an said, "No, your apprentice said he would wait for you."
"Tsk, it's not necessary." Mingshu remembered that the tickets before the change were connected, everyone was in the same carriage, and he didn't know if they were still together after the change.
In fact, he didn't really want to sit with Fang Yuanhang and the others. It wasn't because he had any unreasonable thoughts. It was just that he was exhausted during his visit to Los Angeles, especially in the past few days. He leaned on Xiao Yuan's shoulder and fell asleep.
If the players are all there, then he can't rely on it at all.
"It's already dispersed." Xiao Yu'an easily saw through his thoughts and said, "It's too late to change the ticket, there are no connected tickets, we are the two of us in the 8th carriage."
Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief, and checked the ticket with Xiao Yuan and entered the station.
This train is the last of the night, and it is no different from the "red-eye flight". There were no children in the carriage, and the passengers were almost all sleeping, unusually quiet.
Mingshu was worried that Fang Yuanhang would come to him on a whim. When the train just left, he leaned on Xiao Yuan's shoulder for a while, and then sat up straight again.
Xiao Yu'an said, "Don't worry, I'll call you if I have anything."
He was really tired, and after receiving this guarantee, he leaned on Xiao Yu'an and fell into a deep sleep.
The train headed towards Dongye City gently in the dark, Xiao Yu'an's profile was reflected on the mirror-like window glass.
Mingshu first rested on Xiao Yu'an's shoulder, and then slipped onto Xiao Yu'an's lap, dreaming constantly.
The dream is still investigating the case, but the result is diametrically opposite to reality.
He temporarily put down Luo Xiangfu, a case that needed to be solved urgently. Just because of some clues in the two cases of Lu Kun and Li Hongmei, he went to Luocheng to deal with Hou Cheng, but in the end he could not prove Hou Cheng's guilt.
Hou Cheng didn't kill Yang Nanke or Hou Pao. He just wrote a few suspenseful books. He just conveyed the idea of "some people deserve to die" in the book. There is nothing wrong with the review process of the publisher. Allegedly did not incite potential perpetrators by writing a book.
There was no Xiao Yuan by his side, only Liang Zhao, the former leader.
He still wanted to investigate further. He had seen madness, cruelty, and gloom in Hou Cheng's eyes, but he could not get the key evidence to bring the other party to justice anyway.
The book at the heart of the tomb is still prominently displayed on the best-sellers shelf.
There are still many people who meditate "some people deserve to die", and then pick up the butcher's knife.
The killing of noisy children and the killing of "irresponsible" doctors has been staged in various cities. The murderers are all fans of Tomb Heart, but Tomb Heart is at large, and even published a new book.
The theme of the new book is the killing of the police.
Liang Zhao gave him an ultimatum and ordered him to return to Dongye City immediately. He wanted to buy time, but Liang Zhao was furious and rebuked him, as the leader of the serious crime team, for not rushing to solve the case at hand, but instead doing meaningless things, putting the cart before the horse and being suspected of dereliction of duty.
The tomb bought the marketing team and poured dirty water on him on the Internet, and netizens began to abuse him and the police.
He was surrounded by enemies before and after, so he had to rush back to Dongye City, and just when he stepped into the Criminal Investigation Bureau, another murder happened again.
Liang Zhao called him to the office and gave him a hard lesson, saying that the suspect this time was either the same person who killed Luo Xiangfu, or he was imitating the crime, and the relationship between Hengzhu and Luo Xiangfu's case could not be erased, and he said that if he hadn't run away halfway Going to Los Angeles, the case has been solved long ago, and the second victim will not die at all.
He was already very remorseful, and at the same time felt chilled by Liang Zhao's reaction.
For a long time, Liang Zhao never really trusted him.
Liang Zhao trusted only himself.
The dream was messed up in the end, he leaned on Xiao Yu'an's lap and hummed uncomfortably.
Xiao Yu'an put a hand on his shoulder, closed his eyes, and when he heard his voice, he looked down, moved his hand to the back of his neck, and rubbed it soothingly.
It didn't take long for him to wake up.
Xiao Yuan's eyes reflected the night outside the window, he was calm and quiet, "What did you dream of?"
Mingshu didn't distinguish between dream and reality for a while. Before he woke up, he was being investigated for malfeasance by the investigation team of the provincial department. He repeatedly explained why he went to Luocheng to investigate the tomb. The officials of the investigation team were all indifferent.
No one believed him, no one supported him, no one backed him.
In another city, someone shouted "Some people deserve to die" and killed an old woman in her fifties, on the grounds that the other party was domineering on the bus and insulted the young man who would not give her her seat.
Ming Shu saw Xiao Yu'an's face clearly, and then he completely woke up, stood up, and said hoarsely, "Brother, where are you?"
"There are still more than 20 minutes." Seeing that he was about to rub his eyes, Xiao Yuan immediately patted his hands away.
This time, the force was very light, but Ming Shu pursed his lips.
He can only do this kind of small action when he is alone with Xiao Yu'an.
"What did you dream about just now, you haven't said it yet." Xiao Yu'an said.
"It's nothing, it's just..." Mingshu recounted what happened in the dream and held Xiao Yu'an's hand gently, "Brother, I think I'm very lucky. You let me go to the tomb and kept giving me advice. Correct the mistakes I made. You have also made arrangements for Dongye. Without your support this time, Hou Cheng would still be at large."
Xiao Yu'an turned his hand upside down and inserted his fingers into Ming Shu's fingertips, changing the handshake posture into interlocking fingers.
"I said, I'm your backing, you can rely on me." Xiao Yuan slightly increased the strength in his hand, "Some cases will become unsolved once you let go, and it will be difficult to solve them after a long time. It's even harder. Some people you already suspect, you should check them out. The detective needs a keen intuition, and you've done a great job."
Mingshu felt slightly relaxed, "You praised me again."
Xiao Yuan smiled, "Why, can't you stand the praise?"
"That's not it." Mingshu's eyes brightened, "I like to hear it."
After chatting for a while, the train had already entered Dongye City, and it was about to enter the station in a few minutes.
Mingshu got up and took the bag on the suitcase, pulling up the T-shirt, revealing a small belly.
Xiao Yu'an quietly helped him pull the hem of his clothes.
"I'm still sleepy." Mingshu yawned, "I couldn't sleep well in the car, and I even had nightmares."
"Go back to bed and sleep." Xiao Yu'an took the bag from him, "You don't need to be in the bureau tomorrow morning, you can sleep any time."
Mingshu raised his eyebrows, "Is the boss encouraging me to miss work?"
"I came back a day earlier because I wanted to give you a holiday." Xiao Yu'an said, "I've slept enough. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon. If I haven't slept enough, I can come the day after tomorrow."
"Hey..." Mingshu curled the corners of his lips, "With a boss like you, I will be proud of it."
"Proud of you." Xiao Yu'an said as he said, "The boss makes you proud."
Mingshu deliberately suppressed his voice, "Boss, you can't do this, it's all here, I have to explain a few words to Fang Yuanhang and the others later."
Xiao Yuji didn't understand, "Huh?"
"Stop talking to me in this tone." Mingshu covered his face, "Didn't you realize that you turned my face red?"
Xiao Yuan laughed, heard the sound of the car door opening, and stopped messing with him.
The team members hurriedly gathered at the exit and went home. Xiao Yuan not only arranged most of the day off for Mingshu, but also treated everyone on business trips equally, and asked him to come back to the bureau tomorrow afternoon or evening.
"I don't need to rest!" Fang Yuanhang was the only one of the detectives who was alive and kicking, "Master, I'll go to work tomorrow morning."
He gave him a clear look, "If you want to rest, just rest, how can you be so energetic in a day?"
"Is it wrong to be energetic?" Fang Yuanhang giggled, "Anyway, I don't have a wife at home, so it's boring to stay at home."
The attack surface of these words is too broad. Most of the criminal police have no wives, and neither does Mingshu.
Feeling that the air was suddenly quiet, Fang Yuanhang realized after realizing it, "Did I say something wrong?"
Xiao Yuan smiled and smoothed things out, "Go back and have a good night's sleep if you don't have an object, so as to keep your spirits up, and solve Luo Xiangfu's case as soon as possible."
The high-speed rail station is a little far from the city center, just in the same direction as Xiao Zhai.
Mingshu naturally went home with Xiao Yuan, saying that he wanted to take a bath to relax, but he fell asleep after lying in the bathtub for a few minutes.
Xiao Yuan tidied up the bedroom and heard that the bathroom was silent. He expected that he fell asleep - this has happened before, so he gently opened the bathroom door with a thick bath towel, looked at it, and sighed with a smile.
Mingshu's posture at this time is really not elegant.
One leg rested on the edge of the bathtub, the other was attached to the wall brick, and his hands were resting on the back of his head, his head was slightly tilted, and he was snoring softly.
In the entire Criminal Investigation Bureau, and even the entire Winter Ye City police circle, Mingshu is the one who cares about his demeanor the most, but at this time, he is obviously very tired to show people in this image.
Xiao Yuan thought it was funny, but also a little heartache. Seeing that the water was still hot, it wouldn't cool down for a while, so he simply put down the towel, went back to the living room to get his mobile phone, and took a picture of Mingshu sleeping naked.
The shutter sound forgot to close, and with a "click", Mingshu seemed to hear it. He grunted in dissatisfaction, but he didn't wake up. After moving a few times, he became honest.
Xiao Yuan remembered that when he first promised Mingshu, Mingshu was burdened as heavy as a mountain, for fear of showing a little bit of ugliness.
It's different now.
"Ugly" revealed.
Xiao Yu'an bowed down and hugged Mingshu, only to hear a "crashing" sound, and water poured out, almost drenching his chest, abdomen, legs and feet.
Mingshu didn't wake up.
He wrapped the person in a thick bath towel, carried him to the sofa, wiped off the water, and then took the bath towel away. He didn't put any clothes on, but put a thin silk quilt on Mingshu's waist.
Mingshu didn't have nightmares this time, he slept soundly, and woke up in the middle of the night, seeing a small light on in the living room, Xiao Yuan disappeared.
He stood up, the thin quilt fell to the ground, and the silk slipped from his body, causing it to itch. He looked down and found that he was wearing nothing. He scolded Xiao Yuan for being irresponsible. He walked barefoot in the direction of the bedroom and study, and shouted, "Brother?"
Xiao Yuan was leaning on the bed, holding his cell phone.
Mingshu thought that Xiao Yuan was still busy with work, so he rushed to grab the phone, but not only did he not grab it, but he slipped on the bottom of his feet and fell on the bed.
In fact, this fall is somewhat intentional.
The leader of the dignified serious crime team, if this can be a fall, it would be too bad.
Xiao Yuan patted his side and motioned for him to come over.
"Did I fall asleep in the bathtub just now?" Mingshu arched a few times, then arched to Xiao Yu'an's side, "You picked me up, why didn't you pick me up from the bed? Let me go, even my pants. If you don't give me one, will you talk about civilization?"
"I think you're quite comfortable without pants." Xiao Yu'an's facial features looked very gentle under the light in the bedroom, "I didn't put them on for you."
"How come?" Mingshu said, "I'm not comfortable, I've never been a hooligan."
Xiao Yu'an smiled.
Mingshu tensed his lower back, "Brother, why are you laughing so treacherously?"
"treacherous?"
"Sexy! Sexy is okay?"
Xiao Yu'an shook the phone, "Come on, I'll show you something good."
Ming Shu hurriedly stretched his neck, "What a good thing..."
With "Xi" still stuck in his throat, he shouted, "Fuck! What the fuck is this dog pose?"
The person in the photo slept very soundly, and was also very unimpressive.
"I slept like this just now?" Mingshu wailed, "I don't believe it! It's impossible! Brother, I shouldn't be like this in your eyes!"
Xiao Yu'an let him grab the phone, watching him anxiously, "That's the truth, you're still snoring, but unfortunately I didn't record it for you."
"I want to delete it." Mingshu said while pressing on the phone.
Xiao Yuan did not stop him, "Delete it."
"I really deleted it?" Mingshu raised his eyelids.
"I told you to show you something good, you have seen it, and of course it should be deleted." Xiao Yu'an said, "If it is seen by others, it will be troublesome."
Ming Shu really deleted it, threw away the phone and said, "What kind of good thing is this, don't take pictures in the future."
"Why is it not a good thing." Xiao Yuan's eyes were deep, and Mingshu was shrouded in his own eyes.
Mingshu immediately understood and muttered, "The good things have been deleted."
"It's okay." Xiao Yuan took him into his arms, "The photos of the good things have been deleted, but the good things are still there."
