As soon as the door opened, a handsome man gave an exaggerated "yo".
Mingshu pulled out a pair of guest slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw it in front of the man, "What? Come in and close the door."
The man came in with a smile, "Little brother, go out to pick up a guest, why don't you change your clothes and wash your face, and come out in a scruffy mess. Look at you, your hair is up and your clothes are not neat, it's just a shame. The way of hospitality…”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mingshu hung the person in the living room and went into the bathroom to wash, "I ran to someone's house early in the morning, did you do this as a guest? You treat yourself as a guest? Seeing that you are so busy, don't Is it because you have a style problem that you were expelled from your anti-drug team?"
"Fuck you." The man sat on the sofa rudely, still smiling, and put the takeaway pocket in his hand on the coffee table, "Xiao Yu'an has been at work for a few hours, and it's still early in the morning? Are you here? There is still jet lag in the house? I kindly gave you a 'Brother Brand' love meal, but you are so good, you actually cursed me to be delisted. You little brother, you are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. "
Mingshu leaned halfway out of the bathroom, holding an electric toothbrush in his hand, "Have you called my brother?"
"Otherwise, how would I know that you, the white-eyed wolf, haven't gotten up yet and haven't had breakfast yet?" The man took out the fish sliced porridge, boiled wheat, and steamed cakes one by one.
When he came out of the bathroom, the top of Mingshu's hair was a little wet, and he could see that he had been stroked with water, but the poking hair that was originally up was still up, looking very funny.
The man grinned.
"Do you have so many funny things in a day? The eldest is not too young, and he is still a captain, so you can't learn from your two eldest brothers, and be stable in life?" Mingshu ate crayfish last night, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable. Comfortable, didn't want to eat shaomai, picked up a tasteless steamed cake, "You are in your team, when you are talking to the new teammates, are you smiling like this?"
"I call it optimistic and open-minded." The man said.
"I think you're heartless, heartless, and thick-skinned." Mingshu said, "Don't try to refute it, I didn't say this, it was your own brother who said it. If you want to beat him or scold you, go find him."
Hearing the word "brother", the man suddenly sighed.
Mingshu raised his eyes, "Oh, is the heartless, cheeky and thick-skinned Team Xiao have something on your mind?"
The man didn't refute this time.
Mingshu bit the steamed cake and said, "Let me be happy."
"It's a family conflict," the man said.
Mingshu heard something wrong and asked, "It has something to do with Brother Mu Ting? What's going on?"
"What else can happen." The man said, "My brother is back in the special forces again, you know that."
Mingshu put down his chopsticks.
The man said, "Go on and eat."
"He almost lost his life last time. After raising him for a few years, he finally recovered." Mingshu said: "If you go back to the special forces to train new recruits, it's nothing."
"He's going abroad to perform a mission soon." The man shook his head, "Xiao Yu'an and I can understand, but the old man can't accept it."
Mingshu was silent for a while, "I understand the old man."
The man's eyes changed slightly.
Mingshu said: "The old man is just you and Brother Mu Ting. You are a special drug police officer, and Brother Mu Ting is a special force. You are both too dangerous. Brother Mu Ting lay down for so long last time. Going back to the special forces to perform tasks, I can't accept it."
The man was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Hey, the white-eyed wolf is starting to get distracted."
Mingshu squinted at him, "I'm not joking with you."
The person who came was Xiao Jincheng, Xiao Yu'an's cousin, Mingshu's brother from childhood to adulthood.
Among the boys in the Xiao family, Xiao Jincheng and Mingshu are the closest in age. Xiao Yu'an and Xiao Yu'an's cousin, Xiao Muching, are both six years older than Mingshu. They always leave Mingshu in everything. Only Xiao Jincheng and Mingshu will snatch things and sue each other. Xiao Jincheng is the overlord of the Xiao family. Mingshu Ding was often teased by him when he was a little old. When he grew up, he was able to fight back. As long as Xiao Yuan was not around, the two youngsters would fight.
The grievances and grievances in childhood became a confused account when they grew up, Mingshu became a criminal policeman, and Xiao Jincheng became an anti-drug police officer. I didn't see each other a few times, and I would say a few words when I met each other. It looked like an enemy, but the feelings were also really good. Mingshu has no siblings in the Ming family, and Xiao Yuan's cousins are his eldest brother and second brother.
Mingshu was halfway through breakfast, and suddenly guessed the purpose of Xiao Jincheng's visit.
"Why are you staring at me?" Xiao Jincheng deliberately touched his arm, "Wolf staring at people with white eyes, I'm afraid."
Mingshu asked, "Are you also going to perform a mission?"
Xiao Jincheng laughed, "Don't be so serious, okay?"
"I'll tell you why you came here all of a sudden." Mingshu picked up a tissue and wiped his hands, "Brother Mu Ting is going back to the special forces and is going abroad soon. And you are going to perform a very dangerous mission soon. You are worried that something will happen to you, Come and say hello to Xiao Yu'an and me in advance, and let us take care of the old man, right?"
"Fuck." Xiao Jincheng reluctantly pressed his eyebrows, "It's not good for my little brother to be too smart."
Mingshu put the unfinished breakfast into his pocket, got up and threw it away.
Xiao Jincheng put away his joking tone, "I am an anti-drug special police officer, and my brother is a special forces soldier. Since I have chosen this path, whatever we will face in the future is our life, and also the life of the old man."
Mingshu turned his back to Xiao Jincheng and said a moment later, "I know. I'm also a policeman."
Xiao Jincheng smiled, "It's good to know, it's not in vain that we have loved you since childhood."
Mingshu turned to his side and scolded, "It hurts! You even want to snatch edamame from me!"
Xiao Jincheng was inexplicable, "Why does this involve edamame?"
Mingshu was too lazy to explain that it was because he and Xiao Yuan only ate salted edamame last night.
Xiao Jincheng only stayed in Dongye City for one day. In the evening, he met Xiao Yuan and left. He walked in a very organized manner. Everyone else was in a car, but he had a helicopter to pick him up.
When Xiao Yuan and Xiao Jincheng were talking, Mingshu deliberately walked away and didn't listen to what they said. The sound of the helicopter taking off behind him sounded, and Mingshu turned around and saw Xiao Yuan walking towards him.
The night in the city is lively and peaceful, and the streets are full of ordinary ups and downs.
Mingshu said, "When you were in the special operations team, I sometimes couldn't get in touch with you, so I was very worried and worried that something would happen to you."
Xiao Yuan squeezed his hand, "It's alright."
Mingshu nodded, "Yeah."
The two walked aimlessly on the street, Mingshu said, "Brother, give me a gift."
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan said, "What do you want?"
Mingshu smiled, "Why didn't you ask me why I asked you for a gift?"
"You don't need to ask." Xiao Yu'an said, "I'll find everything you want."
Mingshu's ears gradually became hot, and there was some light from the street lamps in his eyes.
In fact, he didn't think about what gift he wanted at all, and he didn't lack anything at home, and he never suffered material losses since he was a child.
It was just a whim to ask Xiao Yu'an for a gift, and he suddenly said such a thing. It doesn't matter what the gift is, as long as it's from Xiao Yu'an, even if it's dried croissant tofu sold by the roadside.
There is a shopping mall nearby, Xiao Yuan said, "Go in and have a look."
On weekday nights, there were not many people visiting the mall. Mingshu finally picked a winter clothes that had just been released, and Xiao Yuan put a tie on him.
At night, the tie was tied around Mingshu's naked neck.
The shift passed in a flash, and there was an eleven in the middle. Because no case was transferred to the serious crime team, even though the team members had all returned to their posts, they were still relatively leisurely.
Mingshu intends to focus on the case of Yisixiangzi, but the clues are few and far between, and after Xu Yin mentioned Chi Xiaomin last time, he started to pretend to be mad and foolish, and later said that the person he saw was indeed Chi Xiaomin. , and was confused for a while, saying that he couldn't remember the person's appearance.
"Why do I think Xu Yin is playing tricks on us?" Fang Yuanhang said.
"I can't rule out this possibility." Xu Yin was the first to contact Yi Fei. Every time Yi Fei mentioned this little girl, he felt a panic in his heart, as if hard objects such as stones and fingernails were on the blackboard. Scratched on the top, "It's not surprising that a kid who likes to play the game of corpse finds anything."
Ming Shu called Lin Jiao and asked Xu Yin about the recent situation.
"It's the same." Lin Jiao said, "Either stay in the room by yourself and play with building blocks, or go to the SWAT team to run through the door."
Mingshu asked: "There is no way for her to open her heart."
Lin Jiao shook his head, "Sorry."
Mingshu himself is a criminal policeman. Although he has some research on criminal psychology, in general, he is still taking the old road of traditional criminal investigation, and he values real clues more than mysterious psychology. Not too disappointed.
As Yi Fei said, Xu Yin does have the possibility to play games with the police, but Xu Yin, a little girl, has no way to know that Chi Xiaomin is the person the serious crime team is looking for. That being the case, among so many missing persons, why did she just point to Chi Xiaomin's photo and say it was this sister
Only the person she saw was indeed Chi Xiaomin.
Mingshu thought for a while by himself, and heard Xing Mu and the others were whispering something.
If the members of the serious crime team are discussing their work, they must be grand, and their voices are louder.
In the middle is Fang Yuanhang. Mingshu remembered that the apprentice had been abnormal for a long time. Could it be that he was gathering small talk about him
Mingshu walked over quietly, and after listening for a few seconds, he realized that this group of people were planning to go to Qiyue Mountain for an autumn tour while there was no case to kill.
Autumn is getting stronger, and Qiyue Mountain in Shouquan Town, northwest of Dongye City, has become a holy place for short-distance autumn tours.
Mingshu has been in Dongye for so many years, and he has never heard of Qiyue Mountain before. It was only when he was training in the special operations team last year that he read the circle of friends one day and learned about this place in Lu Yanzhou's autumn tour photos.
Qiyue Mountain was not called Qiyue Mountain before, but its real name Tu is so that people have no desire to travel. It is called Shi Sniff Mountain.
Dongye City is a large and developed city, and people have strong travel demands. The surrounding mountains and lakes have been developed almost a few years ago. They are all called "city green lungs" and "peach blossoms around you". And the small holiday, it was occupied by people who usually lived in the city.
Shixiu Mountain has been undeveloped because of its vulgar name. The mountain is lush and green, and there is a temple with almost no incense called Haijing Temple. No one discovers its beauty, and no one disturbs its beauty.
Until the fall of the previous year, a big V traveler from out of town accidentally ran into Shixiu Mountain, marveled at the dazzling yellow ginkgo trees all over the mountain, and took a group of pictures of the noisy yellow leaves and the quiet Zen temple, and posted them. on Weibo.
The photos are both daytime and nighttime. The daytime scenery is amazingly beautiful, but at night there is only one photo—a bright moon floating in the clear night sky, and a monk is folding his hands under a ginkgo tree with a look of compassion.
Shi Sniff Mountain has a new name since then. It is called Qiyue Mountain. Last year, a large number of tourists flocked to enjoy the autumn. Lu Yanzhou ran away with the DSLR he just bought, but the brothers of the serious crime team were because of the ginkgo leaves last year. Huang Shi encountered a big case and failed to join in the fun.
No wonder this year is just around the corner.
"Master, let's go together." Seeing Mingshu coming over, Fang Yuanhang hurriedly said: "I have already checked, the ginkgo leaves at the foot of Qiyue Mountain have just started to turn yellow these days, we are going this week, there should not be too many tourists. "
Mingshu said, "What's so good about Ganghuang? It will be almost the same until late autumn."
Xing Mu's motivation to refute the leader came up again, "But I'm afraid we can't wait for late autumn."
Mingshu: "Huh?"
Xing Mu shifted his position, stood behind Fang Yuanhang, and used Fang Yuanhang as a shield, "Wait, although the leaves are all yellow, the case may come."
Fang Yuanhang and Xiao Man nodded in agreement.
"Can you guys stop being so cunning?" Mingshu smiled, "If you don't have a case for a day, you can't get by, right?"
"We are planning ahead." Xing Mu said while observing Mingshu.
Mingshu is not the kind of leader who doesn't like to participate in group activities. Although he has no interest in the sudden appearance of Internet celebrity spots like Qiyue Mountain, everyone wants to go, so he also follows, "This week? Go on the same day. Go back that day or stay overnight?"
"I want to stay for one night." Fang Yuanhang is the most energetic, "On the mountain there is only one place where people can live in Haijing Temple. We book in advance, maybe there are berths. It's nothing if not, it's not too cold now, bring camping tents That's it."
In fact, Mingshu didn't really want to spend the night. With Xiao Yu'an at home, who would rarely sleep in a tent.
But everyone seemed to want to spend the night.
Mingshu had to say, "Then stay for one night."
Everyone was about to disband when Fang Yuanhang said, "Master, why don't you call Bureau Xiao too."
Xing Mu's expression suddenly changed.
Mingshu knew what he was thinking at a glance - a leader is not enough? Want to call another one
"Officer Xiao." Mingshu said, "Officer Xiao is the leader. It's inconvenient to call him for this kind of activity."
Xing Mu nodded quietly.
Fang Yuanhang secretly said: Hey! There is no opportunity for me to create opportunities for you. Are there apprentices who are as worried as I am? You bunny gnawed at the grass on the edge of the nest, why are you still pretending to play
Mingshu has read countless people, but this time, he didn't see the truth in his disciple's eyes.
Fang Yuanhang added: "The two cases we solved recently were directed by Bureau Xiao. A group of us went out for an autumn tour and didn't say a word to him, wouldn't it make sense?"
Mingshu said to his heart how do you know that I didn't squeak him? Where can I go without squeaking him
"Then I'll mention it to him." Mingshu said seriously, "But he shouldn't come."
Xing Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
In the afternoon, Mingshu went upstairs to find Xiao Yu'an, and happened to meet Liang Zhao coming out of the deputy director's office.
"Liang team." Mingshu took the initiative to say hello.
Compared with the previous meeting, Liang Zhao's spirit seemed to be much better, and there was a smile on his fierce and ruthless face.
Liang Zhao nodded, "Come to Xiao Bureau?"
Mingshu said: "There is something in the group and I want to ask Xiao Bureau for instructions."
"Then go in." Liang Zhao said and turned around, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
Mingshu watched Liang Zhao go downstairs before knocking on the office door.
Xiao Yuan was looking at a document, and when he saw Mingshu, he asked casually, "What?"
Mingshu forgot about going camping in Qiyue Mountain, and asked, "What is the matter with Team Liang looking for you?"
"He's going to be transferred to the Beicheng Branch for a while." Xiao Yuan put down the document, "Come and do some work handover with me."
"Sub-bureau?" Mingshu was slightly surprised. First, there was no relevant rumors before, and second, how could Liang Zhao be willing to go to the sub-bureau.
Xiao Yu'an said: "Isn't Beicheng going to host an international electronics fair in December? The security pressure is very high, and Team Liang took the initiative to apply to Bureau Li, saying that they wanted to temporarily transfer over to support it."
Mingshu was still a little surprised, "This is not Team Liang's style."
"Team Liang is also exploring changes." Xiao Yu'an said, "I can see that he still wants to go up."
Mingshu felt that he didn't need to worry about the changes in the upper-level leadership, so he mentioned the autumn tour to Xiao Yuan.
Sure enough, Xiao Yu'an said: "You guys go, I'm here, you can't have fun."
Mingshu has passed the age of sticking with Xiao Yuan all the time, and he is not disappointed. He smiled: "I suddenly feel a little guilty."
Xiao Yu'an said, "Because you left me at home alone?"
Mingshu waved his arms passionately, "Because I let a man who is as old as a wolf like a tiger stay alone in the empty room!"
Xiao Yuan laughed, "Why didn't you become a comedian back then?"
"Being a comedian, you have to act for the whole country to see." Mingshu explained righteously, "I am a criminal police officer, and I will only act for you when I have nothing to do. How about it?"
Xiao Yu'an said, "How about what?"
Mingshu asked, "Do you think you have really found a treasure?"
"Yes, yes." Xiao Yuan condoned: "I found a big baby who can solve a case and act."
Fang Yuanhang followed a Weibo account dedicated to posting information about short-distance tours around Dongye City. Every day, he scanned other people's pictures to see how yellow the ginkgo leaves on Qiyue Mountain were. The degree of yellowing of the leaves is less than ideal because there is no sustained high-intensity cooling.
The leaves of Qiyue Mountain turn yellow every year. It is very popular in the month. It is too cold in winter, and there is no special feature in spring and summer. In addition, the transportation is inconvenient.
"I told you to wait for ten days and a half to come back, but you don't believe me!" Zhao Siyan was wearing snow-white sportswear, even the shoes on her feet were white, and a Nikon DSLR was hanging on her chest. Complained: "See for yourself, is this trip for nothing?"
"Why are you here for nothing?" Lu Chen followed behind, wearing bright red sportswear and black sneakers, "You stay at school all day long, don't you feel bored? It's time for you to come out and get some air. The air is here. It's so good, even if you don't see many yellow leaves, it's good to take a breath of fresh air. Besides, where have we climbed to, and we haven't even reached the middle of the mountain, of course the leaves are not yellow. I don't believe that the leaves on the top of the mountain are not. Yellow."
Zhao Siyan stopped and turned back angrily, "My God, you want me to climb to the top of the mountain? Are you still human?"
"Let's go, let's go!" Lü Chen smiled and ran for a few steps, pushing Zhao Siyan up, "Don't be long-winded, you are in sportswear and sneakers today, don't you just want to go wild! Listen to me, listen to me. Yes, just climb up!"
There is no formal management in Qiyue Mountain. Only in the days when there are the most tourists, the town government will send people up the mountain to maintain order.
And it's far from the peak of tourists.
In order to take a beautiful photo of ginkgo leaves, the two girls kept encouraging each other to climb the mountain. When they passed the Haijing Temple halfway up the mountain, Lu Chen suggested to go in to rest and ask the monks about the situation on the top of the mountain.
"It's better not to go up." The young monk said, "The ginkgo leaves on the top of the mountain should be all yellow, but few people go up, there is no way, and it's getting late, and by the time we get to the top, the sky must be gone. It's dark, you two girls are not safe."
"It's okay!" Lu Chen said, "We are all female men!"
The two had to go to the top of the mountain, but the monk had no choice but to ask them to pay attention to safety.
It was already dark at seven o'clock in the evening.
The mountain is not like a city. There are other rays of light after the sun goes down. When it gets dark on Qiyue Mountain, it is really dark.
Zhao Siyan became frightened, "Let's go back, it's freezing me."
Lu Chen was not as brave as when he came, and took Zhao Siyan's hand and walked down the mountain.
Going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult. When climbing up, it just takes some physical strength. Now that it is better, it is pitch black and there is no way to find a foothold.
The most disturbing thing is that the phone has entered a "no service" state.
Zhao Siyan slipped and fell, and the snow-white sportswear was covered with mud and moss.
"I'm afraid..." she cried, "what should I do?"
"Wait for me here, I'll go down and see where I can go." Lu Chen held a thick branch he picked up in his hand, "Don't panic, if we can come up, we can definitely go down."
Zhao Siyan cried even more, "Don't go!"
"I won't go down to explore the way, neither of us want to go down the mountain tonight!" Lu Chen said, "I won't go too far, I'll come back to pick you up when I find a section of the road, and then look for the next section."
Zhao Siyan can only agree if he disagrees.
Lu Chen smiled at her by the moonlight, and pretended to be relaxed: "We were all deceived by that big V, the ginkgo in the moonlight is not beautiful at all, you can't see it, I don't know when he made it up. How much light, I don't believe in big V anymore!"
Zhao Siyan said anxiously, "If you find a way, come back quickly!"
Lu Chen said, "I know, I know."
Zhao Siyan watched Lu Chen walk away, her figure gradually blurred, and the fear in her heart became stronger.
"Chenchen?" She stood up from the ground and walked tentatively into the darkness, "Chenchen, where are you?"
Lu Chen didn't answer, and there was no sound of anyone stepping on the ground.
Zhao Siyan's heartbeat increased, and her voice trembled, "Chenchen! Answer me!"
