251 I heard that you are looking for a child recently? (first update)
She pursed her lips and smiled, with a dimple on her left cheek barely exposed, and couldn't help but look a little proud.
Although Mo Jingsheng doesn't often deal with children, he still knows how to give them appropriate encouragement.
He nodded immediately and said, "Great."
Sure enough, the dimple on Mo Jinxi's left cheek became deeper, but he tried his best to maintain an indifferent attitude.
For some reason, a trace of pain or nostalgia flashed in Mo Jingcheng's eyes. He reached out, touched Mo Jinxi's face, and said softly: "Write me the contact information of the orphanage, and I will find you."
Mo Jinxi was slightly surprised, but he quickly wrote down the number of the orphanage and handed it to Mo Jingsheng. The handwriting of the numbers he wrote was a bit childish and crooked, but in Mo Jingsheng's eyes, it was exceptionally childlike and interesting.
Not far away, Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng watched their interaction. Lin Chu asked in a confused voice, "Is Mo Jingsheng a cold-hearted person?"
Yan Beicheng looked at her with a smile: "Why do you ask that?"
"I don't know him well. Today is the first time we've met him. I'm just telling you my impression of him. If it's wrong, tell me." Lin Chu held Yan Beicheng's arm, and his long hair was messed up by the wind. , then raised a hand to suppress the wild hair blown by the wind on the top of his head.
Yan Beicheng nodded, "You say."
Lin Chu looked in the direction of Mo Jingsheng and Mo Jinxi, then looked away after a few seconds.
"I think Mo Jingsheng is a very cold person. Although he is a policeman, he will do everything within his duties. But when it comes to private time, he will not easily interact with others. He is indifferent to everyone, at least strangers It's hard to get close to him with casual acquaintances. He's not the kind of person who cares about trivial matters. For example, at the school gate, he doesn't seem to get involved in things between a few children, and he even takes the initiative. The person who takes over everything. According to his character, he shouldn’t care about it under normal circumstances, right?"
Lin Chu looked at Yan Beicheng. Yan Beicheng nodded, indicating that he had listened and did not express his position, allowing her to continue speaking.
"Perhaps after we get to know him well, he will be a very good friend. But when we meet for the first time, he is indeed not enthusiastic. He is not someone who has the patience to coax children." Lin Chu frowned and shook his head in confusion, "But I just met him today. When Jin Xi met for the first time, he was really very good to Jin Xi. He was patient, gentle, and even responsive to requests. I really feel that this is inconsistent with my impression of him."
In fact, because of his work, Lin Chu is relatively confident in his vision of people.
"You are right." Yan Beicheng said, "He is indeed who you said. Moreover, I have never seen him have such a good attitude towards the person he meets for the first time. No matter what the identity of the other person is, To people he doesn't know well, he can't be said to be cold, it should be said to be unfamiliar and polite, as if he has set up an invisible wall in front of you, making it impossible for people to get close."
"Polite but aloof." Lin Chu concluded.
Yan Beicheng put his arms around her waist and nodded with a smile, "Yes, you summed it up very insightfully. It is indeed polite and cold. Even for children, it is like this. His attitude towards Mo Jinxi today is really abnormal. "
"Does his family have a good background?" Lin Chu simply tied his hair into a ponytail behind his head with his hands and held on to it. The wind was a bit annoying indeed.
"I think his temperament is very similar to yours. It's not about personality or words and deeds, but a kind of aura. I think you are the same kind of people." Lin Chu explained with gestures in his hands.
How should I put it, the temperament of people like them is really not something that ordinary families, or ordinary wealthy families, can cultivate.
It's more like a nobility passed down from generation to generation, something rooted in the bones.
Yan Beicheng smiled and touched Lin Chu's wind-ruffled hair, and even her hand on top of her head was covered under his palm and rubbed twice together.
"His family is really extraordinary." Yan Beicheng's eyes were warm, and his mellow voice was as warm as the sun in the strong wind.
It was like a ray of warm sunshine penetrated into her heart through the layers of cold wind.
Lin Chu didn't wear gloves, and after pressing it on his head for a long time, it became stiff and a little red from the blow.
Yan Beicheng's hand covered hers, and the warmth in his palm gradually enveloped her hand in warmth and comfort.
"The leader named Mo who often appears in the news is his father." Yan Beicheng said.
This shocked Lin Chu. She could imagine that Mo Jingsheng had an unusual identity. The public security organs are actually more particular about these backgrounds. Considering that Mo Jingsheng has become a division-level officer at such a young age, he himself has the ability, but he cannot escape from his own background.
Lin Chu could imagine these things, but he never expected that Mo Jingsheng's background was so powerful. This was too rich!
Thinking of the serious face that often appeared in the news, Lin Chu felt a little bad. He always felt that he couldn't look directly at Mo Jingsheng.
Yan Beicheng thought of something, but he didn't decide whether to tell Lin Chu or not.
He wasn't really sure about this, but thinking about Mo Jingsheng's attitude towards Mo Jinxi...
"There's one more thing, just listen to it." Yan Beicheng said.
Lin Chu saw that his expression suddenly became serious. He was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but become serious.
"I didn't think about telling you about this at first. I only thought of it after seeing Mo Jingsheng's attitude towards Mo Jinxi. It was just an idea without any evidence, so I was afraid that you would be too embarrassed to tell me. I think. But since it is related to Mo Jinxi, I think you should know. Regardless of whether it is true or not, you have an idea in your mind." Yan Beicheng said.
"What's the matter? You said it so seriously." Lin Chu became nervous because of Yan Beicheng's trouble.
Just as Yan Beicheng was about to tell her, Mo Jingsheng came over with Mo Jinxi.
Yan Beicheng could only put the matter aside for the time being and said to Lin Chu, "I'll tell you when I get back."
After Mo Jingsheng brought Mo Jinxi over, the four of them entered the hotpot restaurant together.
They did not go through the main entrance, but left a half circle. The hot pot restaurant had another entrance specifically for Yan Beicheng.
Because you have to go through the lobby to enter from the main entrance, there are so many diners, the heat in the hall and the spicy smell of hot pot, which Yan Beicheng doesn't like very much. It felt like my clothes were getting stained all the way through.
Therefore, there is another thick red door, which is no less impressive than the main door. It is only opened when Yan Beicheng or his friends come.
When the four of them entered the hot pot restaurant, they didn't see what the hall looked like, as if they were entering a different space. There was no hustle and bustle that a hot pot restaurant should have at all. Only the faint spicy aroma made them sure that they were indeed in a hot pot restaurant.
The waiter took me into the room at the end. The room was decorated in a simple style, with a touch of yellow rosewood, and even the lanterns were in the style of palace lanterns.
Mo Jinxi's eyes widened and she couldn't help but say "Wow" and stared at her feet in admiration.
This was done by Yan Beicheng a few months ago. Under the feet are pieces of square lattice glass, connected by metal frames. It is filled with water, various beautiful corals, seaweeds, shellfish, starfish, They are all floating slowly and leisurely underneath. From time to time, a few clownfish swim by my feet.
The colorful colors under your feet look like a bonsai made of gems below, which is dazzling.
Mo Jinxi almost crawled to the ground to take a look, but suddenly remembered that she was too unstable, so she straightened her face again, looking forbearing.
Mo Jingcheng saw this and laughed.
"Come over and sit down. You can see it when you lower your head." Yan Beicheng said.
Mo Jinxi opened her mouth and wanted to say that she was not making a fuss, but she couldn't say it out loud for a long time, so she climbed up on the chair and kept her little head lowered, looking at the fish swimming underground.
As soon as it was finished, Yan Beicheng took Lin Chu to see it. Lin Chu asked at the time why he suddenly wanted to do this.
Yan Beicheng said: "When the child is born, he will have an extra place to play. When there are too many people in the underwater world, let him come here to play. It's also good to watch what's going on underneath while eating."
Lin Chudu doubted whether Yan Beicheng would invest in building an underwater world in the future so that children could have fun.
Yan Beicheng ordered a mandarin duck pot, but Mo Jinxi had short arms and couldn't reach it.
Originally it was Lin Chu who rinsed Mo Jinxi's food, but after a few times, he found that Mo Jingsheng was also rinsing it for Mo Jinxi. With the two of them together, Mo Jinxi couldn't bear to eat it.
Lin Chu discovered that Mo Jingsheng was careful to change the chopsticks every time he cooked meat for Mo Jinxi.
Because he had cooked it in a spicy pot, even if it was cooked in a bone soup pot, it would still have a spicy taste, and the bone soup would be mixed.
Yan Beicheng fished out a fish ball for Lin Chu and put it on a plate. Seeing Mo Jingsheng taking care of Mo Jinxi, he slightly concealed his expression and said, "I heard that you are looking for a child recently?"
Yan Beicheng smiled and cooked a piece of tender beef for himself, "Why, do you still have the debts you owed in earlier years?"
Mo Jingsheng paused, put the yellow throat into Mo Jinxi's plate, and said with a half-smile, "You are quite well-informed."
"You didn't hide it from anyone on purpose. Didn't you let Nan Jingheng know about it? You didn't tell him to keep it secret, so he told us one time." Yan Beicheng picked up the ice tea and took a sip.
"That kid." Mo Jingcheng lowered his head slightly and said speechlessly, "You are already thirty, why are you still acting like a trumpet and can't control his mouth?"
Yan Beicheng laughed, "You didn't ask him not to tell. The door on his mouth also needs to be locked. If you asked him to keep it secret for you, he wouldn't even say a word to their old lady. You didn't Of course, I think it doesn’t matter whether he talks about it or not. There is nothing to hide. He has this sense of propriety, and he either yells about it for you or tells his brothers to know about it and help you pay attention to it. "
After hearing this, Lin Chu couldn't help but look at Mo Jingsheng. For some reason, his heart went blank, but by some strange coincidence, he turned his attention to Mo Jinxi and his mind went numb.
She didn't know why, but looking at Mo Jingsheng's attitude towards Mo Jinxi, she always felt that there was a connection, but she didn't dare to think about it.
Yan Beicheng also noticed Lin Chu's reaction, put down his chopsticks and quietly held her hand.
Mo Jingcheng glanced at Mo Jinxi without any trace, and found that the little guy was also looking at him, with an open face and curiosity in his eyes, but no other emotions.
Mo Jingcheng looked away and said, "I am indeed looking for a child. Remember my brother."
For some reason, Mo Jingcheng's expression was a little sad, and even Yan Beicheng's face darkened, "Is it Jing Yu?"
Mo Jingsheng said nothing, but it was equivalent to acquiescence.
Yan Beicheng put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "I remember he also joined the police force back then."
"It's just an anti-narcotics team." Mo Jingsheng said, "At that time, the largest drug lord in the country came to City B and wanted to mess up City B. The police team needed to send an undercover agent in. He didn't need to go. Even if it was Nine years ago, my father's position was not low. The police station knew Jing Yu's identity and did not dare to let him go. Who knew that he actually went and submitted the report without telling the family. In fact, I didn't agree with that time either. Let go. For myself, I am not afraid of danger and am willing to solve a big case, but it won’t work for my brother.”
"I remember that you and Jing Yu were not in the same department at that time. You were still the captain at that time," Yan Beicheng said.
Mo Jingcheng nodded, "At that time, Jing Yu had just graduated from the police academy not long ago, because everyone knew whose son we were, which put a lot of pressure on him."
Mo Jingcheng smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "Jingyu is young and a little impatient. He can't stand the pressure and is eager to prove himself. Even if he doesn't rely on his family, he can do it."
"I have endured the same pressure as him, and have endured it for a few more years than him, so I understand why he is so eager to choose such a dangerous method. I am at the police station and know the situation before my family. Ben You can suppress this matter first. But he came to me, told me about his ambitions, the pressure he was under, and begged me to help him and fulfill him." Mo Jingsheng put down his chopsticks, picked up the ice tea with his left hand and drank it. After taking a few sips, he put the cup down heavily. He was a little rude, but understandable.
"I was convinced by him. I hate myself now. Why did I agree to him? Why did I think I understood him and thought it was good for him?" Mo Jingsheng smiled sadly, "I should have advised him to wait. But. It’s just being talked about, so what? Those people who are talking, aren’t they jealous? They don’t have that kind of background. We have a good background, it’s good luck, it brings convenience to work and life, this is ours Yes, why not use it? Moreover, you have the ability. As long as you know what it is like at work, why do you care about what others say? Now I complain that I have a good background, but I have an ordinary background and need to struggle for a lifetime, so I may not be able to do it. If you have a good background and have worked hard for a year, then you should envy people with a good background."
Yan Beicheng seemed to be immersed in memories, thinking about the impulsive, ambitious and youthful young man in his memory.
"It's always like this when I'm young." Yan Beicheng said somewhat cryptically.
"So later, he went as he wished, but just when he was about to succeed, his identity was discovered. He was tortured and thrown into the reservoir." Mo Jingsheng said, in front of Mo Jinxi, he did not dare to say Too detailed.
But he will never forget what Mo Jingyu looked like when he was fished out.
At that time, someone went fishing in the reservoir and found Mo Jingyu's floating body. They called the police. The police came and fished Mo Jingyu out. They found that Mo Jingyu had no hair on his body. His limbs were indeed sound, but his body was full of gaps. , one can tell at a glance that the flesh was cut out one by one by a human being.
The medical examiner said that there were no other fatal injuries on his body and that he died of pain at the end.
He was thrown into the reservoir with wounds all over his body. The wounds were infected, the whole body was ulcerated, and the body was swollen with blisters. Only one face could be recognised.
But even though Mo Jingsheng didn't say much, Mo Jinxi was still a little frightened and her face turned pale.
Mo Jingsheng apologetically held Mo Jinxi on his lap, patting him gently to comfort him.
It's also strange that in Mo Jingsheng's generous arms, Mo Jinxi is really not afraid anymore.
Mo Jingsheng stopped there, not wanting to say any more for fear of scaring the child.
Who would have expected that Mo Jinxi actually grabbed Mo Jingsheng's sleeve and shook it, "Uncle, please continue talking. Then... what happened next? Did the bad guy catch him?"
Looking down at Mo Jinxi's sad face, Mo Jingcheng touched him, "Aren't you afraid?"
"It's... not bad." Mo Jinxi said.
"But there are some things that are not good for children to hear." It was rare for Mo Jingsheng to remember this. When he mentioned it just now, he didn't pay much attention to it.
