After Song Yuhang left, Lin Yan couldn't sit still anymore, picked up the bag and stood up: "Brother, I'm sorry for today's meal, and I will pay you another day."
Lin Ge also stood up, the accident happened so suddenly, he was still holding the chopsticks in his hand.
"That... Yanyan, actually I've been wanting to ask, are you... together?"
Lin Yan turned around slowly and looked at him with a slightly unnatural expression on his face: "Why, why do you ask such a question?"
Lin Ge smiled wryly, and put down his chopsticks: "If you like someone, even if you cover your mouth, it will show from your eyes."
Lin Yan was the one he grew up watching, wave to wave, but he had never looked at anyone with that kind of joyful and nostalgic eyes, let alone someone put a hand on her shoulder, the last time someone did that, She took off her arm, but he came forward to help her settle it.
Lin Ge is not a fool, and he has an exquisite heart that understands the world and understands people's feelings. He knew Song Yuhang had someone in his heart very early on, but he didn't expect that this person was his most beloved sister.
Now that he said so, Lin Yan felt that there was no need to hide anything.
It's just that she felt guilty to Lin Ge, after all, Song Yuhang almost became her sister-in-law, didn't he
"I did this unreasonably. You... Don't blame Song Yuhang. If you want to talk about how we got together, I was the one who pestered her first."
Normally, Lin Yan's character of "None of your shit, none of my shit" character, she would definitely not be able to say such a thing, let alone take the fault on herself.
Lin Ge closed his eyes for a moment, the smile on his normally cheerful face disappeared, and he rubbed the space between his brows.
"Does Uncle Lin know?"
Lin Yan nodded: "I know."
This matter is related to a man's self-esteem. Lin Yan thought he would be furious, but he immediately cared whether Lin Youyuan would become her resistance.
Lin Yan's heart warmed, and she was a little embarrassed: "Brother, don't worry, that old thing can't hurt me now. This matter is my fault in the final analysis, you can scold me, as long as it can make you feel better..."
The first half of the sentence was still a normal apology, and the second half of the sentence started to run the train again.
"However, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, right? Brother, why do you hang yourself on a tree with such a good condition? A twisted melon is not sweet. Otherwise, I will search for you and find a suitable blind date. Get married early, I can take care of the children for you when you are busy."
Lin Ge put his head down and smiled, and put food into the pot: "Come on, neither of us is more leisurely than the other, let you take care of the children, don't bring out another devil in the world."
Lin Yan watched him smile, and his heart sank half into his stomach.
"Brother, then you are not angry with me?"
Lin Gefu sat down again, and put the boiled meat into a bowl: "Sheng, my sister robbed my blind date, this is some bloody ethics drama, but—"
He changed his tone: "As long as you live happily, is Song Yuhang treating you well?"
Perhaps because of guilt, people who are always sensitive did not notice that he called Song Yuhang by his name directly.
Lin Yan nodded, and when he mentioned her, a sweet smile appeared on his face unconsciously, as if he was completely immersed in love.
Lin Ge pressed the corner of his lips with a tissue, and put another piece of hair on his belly: "How about you, did someone call you away?"
Speaking of this, Lin Yan also became a little worried. Although Xiao Wei's mother is not very good, the child is innocent.
"It's different. It's really urgent. After all, her brother is the only child."
Lin Ge looked up at her: "I'm just your younger sister."
He often said this, whether he was wronged by Lin Cheng when he was a child, or she broke up with her family when she grew up, Lin Ge was also the only one who stood by his side.
She will always remember that when she was 18 years old, she didn't fill in the volunteer report as arranged by Lin Youyuan, and Lin Youyuan was furious and wanted to drive her out of the house.
Lin Ge also knelt down in front of Lin Youyuan with a plop like now, "Uncle, no, I'm only sister Lin Yan."
That scene will be forever in her heart.
Lin Yan smiled: "Tsk, I'm as numb as a woman, my mother has goosebumps, no matter who I'm with, I'm just you."
If Lin Cheng was still alive, he didn't deserve it either.
After Lin Yan finished speaking, she looked at her watch, and she was really about to leave: "I invite you for today's meal, don't rob me, see you on Friday."
Lin Ge nodded and didn't say anything else. He was as gentle as ever: "Be careful on the road."
Lin Yan pushed open the door of the box and left.
Lin Ge behind him put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands, and chewed these two words: "Brother..."
＊＊＊
The two returned to the City Bureau one after the other.
Ji Jingxing was sitting on a chair in the reception room. Someone poured her a cup of hot water, but she didn't drink it. She just kept stirring the handkerchief, her eyes were red, and she looked lost.
"Where is the person?!" Song Yuhang ran in with his body covered in wind and snow.
"What about the reception room?"
As soon as Ji Jingxing saw her, as if he had found a backbone, he rushed forward and held her hand tightly.
"Yuhang, Yuhang, Xiaowei..."
Time was running out, and Song Yuhang didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, so he got straight to the point.
"When was it lost, how did it disappear, and where did it finally appear? Tell me quickly!"
Ji Jingxing reluctantly closed his eyes twice, and tears rolled down his face.
"I... I... Her calligraphy class ends at 3:30 in the afternoon. I asked her to wait in the cram school. I will pick her up from the company around four o'clock."
Ji Jingxing managed to keep her composure even though she was in a hurry, she knew that she could not mess up now, she had to tell all the facts, so that Song Yuhang could sort out the clues and find Xiaowei.
"When I arrived at the cram school, it was around 4:15..." Ji Jingxing had the habit of wearing a watch with him, so he remembered it clearly.
"The cram school teacher said she left alone. I was so angry at the time. Didn't she agree to wait for me to pick her up? She is only in the first grade of elementary school, how can she let her go out alone!"
Song Yuhang pinched his brows: "The point is, after she went out alone, you couldn't contact her again?"
Ji Jingxing nodded, let go of her hand, hurriedly took out the mobile phone from his bag and handed it to her, with a flustered expression and tears all over his face.
"It's all my fault, my fault..." Ji Jingxing lost his mind, choked up and cried, "I should have picked her up earlier, picked her up sooner, I was just thinking... thinking about taking a few more cases... when the performance at the end of the year comes down... I can take her abroad now... She always wanted to go to Disney... "
Song Yuhang knew that she had provided Xiao Wei with a PHS mobile phone very early, just for the convenience of contact.
She got up, pressed the dial key, and called Xiao Wei, and a cold system prompt came from the receiver.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is off."
Song Yuhang only felt his temples throbbing, and he was so anxious that he pointed at her with the phone and yelled, "It's been four hours, why did you go so early?! Only now to report the crime?!"
There is a so-called "golden three hours" in the criminal investigation of missing children's recovery. Within these three hours, the "ten people and four pursuit method" can maximize the recovery of missing children.
After these three hours, the huge Jiangcheng City is like looking for a needle in a haystack. This time is enough for criminals to take their children to the provincial capital!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..." Ji Jingxing's exquisite makeup was wet with tears, and his neatly coiled hair was loose after running all the way, there was still dust on the sleeves of his suit jacket, and one of his high-heeled shoes fell off.
Hearing what Song Yuhang said, her body went limp and her head spun.
Song Yuhang quickly helped her up, and Ji Jingxing fell into her arms, crying, "I... I found it... I found it... I was afraid to trouble you... I really had no choice but to report the case..."
Song Yuhang thought of the dispute on the street that night, the harsh words he uttered to her, and the fact that she had called him three times but failed to answer. He let out a breath of guilt, and pulled a tissue from the table to her. , his tone slowed down a bit, and he helped the man to the chair and sat down.
"You wait here, I will let you know if there is any news."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the training room, deploying as he walked.
"The field team, with the missing place as the center, within a radius of five kilometers, from four directions, southeast, northwest, along the main road for urgent pursuit."
After receiving the order, the police car patrolling the street swept across the road like lightning.
"The second field team, go to the long-distance passenger station, railway station, bus station, tourist distribution center and other places to find people."
"The third field team—" She pressed her swollen head, walked into the training room, and reported Ji Jing's address: "Send two people and go to the No. 48 Building of Jinrui Community to guard. The child remembers the way. See if you're home by yourself."
Song Yuhang licked his chapped lips, knowing that this kind of hope was too slim.
She also asked a group of people to guard the cram school where she disappeared, not to leave, in case Xiaowei went back.
Another group of people rushed to the place where Ji Jingxing worked and crouched downstairs.
Half of the Jiangcheng City Bureau's police force was spent, and Song Yuhangfu stood in front of the big screen and watched the surveillance. Lin Yan watched her busy, and naturally witnessed the scene where she hugged Ji Jingxing just now, and she was very self-aware. Excuse me, twitched the corner of my lips and returned to the technical detective.
Whether it's investigation and arrest, or staying on guard, it has nothing to do with technical investigation anyway.
Lin Yan changed into a white robe and went to do what he was supposed to do.
There was so much commotion outside, and Fang Xin had heard about it in the laboratory, so it was even more strange to see her come back to work overtime on her own initiative.
"Sister Lin, didn't I get dazzled after doing an experiment all day?"
Lin Yan lazily took out the test tube from the incubator: "Come on, you're blind, your real sister Lin is back."
"Tsk, don't you usually leave after work?" Fang Xin teased her.
Lin was disgusted: "It's not—"
If it wasn't for that vixen, she wouldn't look at her for a while, and threw herself on Song Yuhang. Who knew that when she left, the two of them would make trouble again.
Besides, the child hasn't been found yet, and I don't feel relieved to leave now, and I don't want to stay at the criminal investigation to watch them flirt, so I have to go back to the laboratory to stay.
"It's not what?" Fang Xin had a teasing smile on his lips.
Lin Yan waved her hand and drove her out: "Okay, okay, you also have a day's work, go back and rest, I will continue to do the test results that have not yet come out."
Thanks to Team Song, hearing this sentence from her mouth is simply a high incense.
Fang Xin was grateful: "Have you finally shown your compassion and awakened your conscience and stopped oppressing employees endlessly?"
Lin Yan sucked up a drop of liquid with a rubber-tipped dropper and put it on the glass slide, then turned around and cursed with a smile: "Come on, get out of here quickly, lest anyone be in a hurry."
A tall and thin figure was faintly reflected outside the glass door of the laboratory. Duan Cheng waved at them excitedly, as if afraid that they would not see him.
Fang Xin blushed slightly, hung the white robe on the hanger, said goodbye to Lin Yan, and ran out in a hurry.
Not long after Fang Xin went out, there was the sound of running in the corridor. It must be that the criminal investigation team was dispatched. Is there any whereabouts
While thinking, Lin Yan continued the experiment in hand, casually glanced at the microscope, and stood up suddenly.
This is a high-strength test material. The blood extracted from the pericardium has a faint blue color under a high-magnification microscope.
She was very familiar with this color, and the same substance was purified from the blood of several victims in the "Moby Dick Case".
Lin Yan hurriedly dug out the inspection report from the cabinet at that time, because the laboratory facilities of the Municipal Bureau were poor, and the inspection materials at that time were sent to the provincial department for processing.
She looked at the bright red blood in the test tube, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
When Zheng Chengrui came back from the training room after finishing his work, he saw her sitting at the workstation watching the computer screen typing, and there were a few test tubes on the test tube rack at hand.
"Sister Lin hasn't left yet?"
"No." Lin Yan didn't turn his head back: "I have something to do, so I'll leave when I'm done."
"Oh." Apart from being a dead house, Zheng Chengrui really didn't talk much, so he answered and walked to his place to get something.
There was a creaking sound of unpacking plastic bags, and the smell of spicy duck necks permeated the air.
"Sister Lin, would you like some?"
Lin Yan always keeps this kind of junk food at a respectful distance, and said angrily, "Go away, eat it yourself."
At the end, seeing that he came back, he stopped typing again: "Over there, is it over?"
Zheng Chengrui had just been transferred to watch the surveillance.
Lao Zheng nodded, licked his fingers, and opened the computer game to relax: "It's over, I found it, guess where I found it?"
Lin Yan was curious: "Where is it?"
I didn't expect Song Yuhang to be quite efficient.
"In a bookstore not far from the cram school, the little girl went by herself. She read books there all afternoon. The heater in the store was turned on and she fell asleep. The store staff didn't find her until the bookstore was about to close. , It happened that our field office was looking for people all over the street, so we hurriedly called the police."
"..." The corners of Lin Yan's mouth twitched, he could really make a fuss.
She turned her mind back to the report she was typing, and the copy was sent to the Physical Evidence Appraisal Center of the Provincial Public Security Bureau.
The last inspection report was sent back by the provincial department. Lin Yan wanted to ask them to verify some things, but in the middle of the call, he felt a chill down his spine for no reason.
She paused her fingers, looked at the words Provincial Public Security Bureau, pressed delete, and returned her eyes to the test tube beside her.
Forget it, this test material will not be sent to the provincial department, but it will be done in her own private hospital.
According to regulations, all clearly marked inspection materials can no longer be taken out of the Municipal Bureau, unless it is necessary for the case.
Lin Yan stood up holding the test tube, apparently put the things back in the laboratory, but actually turned Zheng Chengrui's back, evaded the monitoring, took a new test tube and put it on, and put the old one back in with a swipe. In the pocket of the white robe.
She walked out as if nothing had happened, and put the white coat on her hand when she left the laboratory: "Old Zheng, I'm leaving first."
"Yeah, Sister Lin, walk slowly, hey, don't you want to eat the duck neck?" Zheng Chengrui played the game with headphones on, and he responded a few times, thinking about giving her the duck neck.
Lin Yan has already walked away in high heels.
Zheng Chengrui took off his earphones, looked up from the screen, stared at the direction she was leaving, and thought about it.
＊＊＊
Lin Yan walked out of the gate of the Municipal Bureau, and ran into an annual emotional drama with deep love and rain.
Song Yuhang squatted down, his hair was covered with snow, and rubbed Xiaowei's face.
"Xiaowei, remember in the future, before mommy comes to you, you must stay where you are and wait for mommy to know?"
Xiao Wei also knew that today was causing trouble for others, her eyes were red, and she nodded in a childish voice: "Got it, aunt, Xiao Wei will never run around again in the future."
Song Yuhang then got up and returned the child's PHS to Ji Jingxing: "Remember to charge it in the future, and—"
She paused for a moment: "For things like today, you can come to me."
Ji Jingxing smiled through his tears, grabbed her hand and hugged her shoulder, choked with sobs.
"Thank you, thank you, Yu Hang, if it weren't for you today, I really don't know what to do, Xiao Wei... If something happens to Xiao Wei, what face would I have to go down to see your brother..."
This was Ji Jingxing's first active hug since their quarrel, and when he felt hot tears falling into the pit of her neck, Song Yuhang was slightly startled, and gently put his hand on her back to express comfort.
In just a split second, she was about to push the person away. Before she could move, Lin Yan stepped on her high-heeled shoes and swaggered over. She raised her eyebrows and showed an extremely ironic smile.
"Hey, the white lotus green tea whore can speak human words these days. When you seduced your sister-in-law and used your own daughter to compete for favor, why didn't you think about your dead husband?"
She looked at Song Yuhang with a cold smile.
Song Yuhang immediately let go and took a step back to show his innocence.
"I advise some people not to be too naive and kind. Maybe this is also one of the means to gain sympathy."
The eyes of several pairs of patrolling guards at the gate of the Municipal Bureau cast their eyes on him.
Ji Jingxing blushed: "You, don't talk nonsense... When will I... I'm really... today... No matter how confused I am, I won't bet on my child!"
Lin Yan let out a "huh" and said, "Then who knows, anyway, you didn't do this once or twice. I also advise you, no matter how busy you are at work, you have to find time to dress up and take piss to look after yourself. The appearance of the yellow-faced lady, no wonder no one has taken notice of her husband's death for so many years, it's been so long since she opened the store, no wonder she's lonely and cold."
Lin Yan's character is like this, whoever makes her unhappy, she will make him unhappy, regardless of the occasion and whether he can say anything.
As long as you are happy, let out this bad breath.
Her mouth is notoriously vicious, unlike Ji Jingxing who swears and repeats those dirty words, she is well versed in the principle of catching a thief first, and killing a murderer, and she pokes at her heart every word.
Ji Jingxing's tears came down in a flash, and the child was at a loss under the eyes of the people around him.
Lin was tired of seeing her cry, and even more dismissive. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was pulled away vigorously.
"Lin Yan, that's enough!"
Song Yuhang tugged at her arm and pulled her aside: "Forgive me and forgive me! I believe she is not—"
In desperation, she lost her sense of strike, and Lin Yan's wrist was red from her pinching.
She glanced down, and the smile on her lips became colder and thinner: "It's nothing, you believe it, I have nothing to say."
Song Yuhang was startled for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately let go.
"Sorry, I-"
Lin Yan shook her head, even putting away that usual, sarcastic, disdainful, and sarcastic smile.
She became extremely calm: "You have nothing to do to me, you are right to everyone, but Song Yuhang, your heart is too big, can you pretend to be so many people?"
"I'm quite curious. If one day, you had to choose between me and that mother and daughter, who would you choose?"
Seeing her exceptionally calm expression, Song Yuhang felt a little frightened, so he might as well scold her heartily.
She shook her head and followed her footsteps: "No, there won't be that day. If there is, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Yan's substitute driver had already brought the car over, she opened the car door and sat in, without giving her a chance to finish her sentence.
"I'm tired. Anyway, I've scolded people, and I'm angry. That's it. Don't go to my house. I don't need your comfort. Today I want to sleep alone."
Song Yuhang pulled the car door, but did not move.
Lin Yan turned around and ordered the driver to drive away, leaving him far behind.
Song Yuhang chased after two steps, panting heavily with his hands on his knees, Ji Jingxing pulled the child up, handed her a tissue, and motioned for her to wipe off her sweat.
Song Yuhang waved his hand and didn't answer. He straightened up, looked at her and said, "Although I don't agree with her cursing words, there is one thing I think she is right about."
She glanced at Xiao Wei who was shivering in her mother's arms: "You don't have to be so hard on yourself, just find someone who is down-to-earth to accompany you, it's also for Xiao Wei's benefit."
"No matter how bad it is, if you are busy, just let my mother pick up and drop off the children. She should be happy to do such a job."
At first, Ji Jingxing insisted not to remarry, she thought she had a deep affection for her brother, and she was afraid that Xiao Wei would suffer from her stepfather.
After so many years, she could see the bitterness and bitterness of raising Xiao Wei alone, and Song Yuhang couldn't bear to persuade her, but it didn't mean that she didn't have excellent people around her to pursue her.
Only now, after all the recent events, did she suddenly realize that there is nothing wrong with having one more person to take care of and protect Xiao Wei, and it can also relieve Ji Jingxing's pressure, the premise is that it must be reliable.
Because of being a single mother, Xiao Wei has not had winter and summer vacations since kindergarten. During her vacation, Ji Jingxing was still at work, so she enrolled in many cram schools for her. The calligraphy practiced today is just one of them.
Song Yuhang knelt down and rubbed Xiaowei's head again: "Our Xiaowei has also worked hard."
Ji Weiyi threw herself into her arms and wiped her tears on her training uniform: "Auntie, Xiao Wei didn't work hard or tired, today is really, really, just fell asleep because I was too sleepy... I was wrong, I'm sorry, aunt, I'm sorry mom, I won't dare anymore, and I won't run out alone again, so don't quarrel, okay?"
Song Yuhang rubbed her head and helped her up: "You are good, follow your mother home quickly, my aunt and mother did not quarrel, we just had a dispute because of some ideas, but this is not your business."
"Xiao Wei—" Song Yuhang took her cold hand and patted it, then hooked her little finger again, and hooked her.
"No matter what happens to my mother and I, Xiao Wei must always remember that my aunt loves you."
Xiao Wei didn't seem to understand what she was talking about in her ignorant eyes, but she still nodded her head heavily.
"Well, well, Xiao Wei loves aunt too."
Song Yuhang got up, and said this to Ji Jingxing: "Since you are driving, I won't send you back. You should think about it carefully, this is not the way to go, it's going to hurt yourself and Xiao Wei, why bother. "
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, chasing Lin Yan in her own car, and after running for two steps, she turned around and said.
The snow under the street lamp reflected her slender figure, and Song Yuhang showed her first shy and shy smile today.
"By the way, Lin Yan and I will get married next year, you are welcome."
＊＊＊
"Miss, are you going back to the villa?" The driver turned around and asked.
Lin Yan looked at the street scene flowing through the car window, with a slightly lonely expression on his face.
"No, go to Tai'an Mental Hospital."
Song Yuhang might be blocking her at the gate of the villa now, she doesn't want to see her for the time being.
Lin Yan squeezed the satchel, not to mention there are more important things to be done now.
