It was a small restaurant. Although it was not big, the owner and his family lived happily every day.
No one would have thought that a simple quarrel would have such serious consequences.
The small shop, which was originally clean, was messed up at this time, with blood splattered on the floor and walls. Walking inside, you will find that a large spread of blood is concentrated at the door of the kitchen.
And the couple in this store were brutally hacked to death by the murderer at the stairway and the kitchen door.
They kept their eyes open until they died, as if they wanted to remember the appearance of the murderer.
When Shen Fangqi and his men arrived, the couple had already died due to excessive blood loss. They carefully inspected the scene and took photos for proof.
The forensic doctor carefully turned over the woman who died at the kitchen door, and found that she was tightly holding a photo frame in her arms, and inside was a family photo.
"There is still a child!" The forensic doctor had already seen the scene, and they only found two corpses, both of which were adults, and there was no child!
Hearing the forensic doctor's words, the police quickly searched the store. They were very eager, even eager to find the little boy in the photo.
Finally, Shen Fangqi found him in the trash can in the kitchen.
The little boy in the photo has black shattered hair and big cat eyes. He didn't cry, he didn't make a fuss, he didn't even make a sound.
Shen Fangqi carefully picked him up from the trash can, hugged the child, and gently patted the boy on the back. The boy's body was very stiff, even if the person holding him was a policeman, he was still very scared.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you." Shen Fangqi hugged the little boy and turned his back to the kitchen door, preventing him from seeing his parents' dead bodies.
But the boy seemed to know something, before he turned his head to see clearly, Shen Fang enlightened his eyes. Shen Fangqi was afraid that this look from the boy would become a nightmare for his whole life.
Because his eyes were covered, the boy froze for a moment, he turned back and pulled Shen Fangqi's hand off. Seeing that he would not see what was behind him, Shen Fangqi allowed the boy to move.
The boy took out a lollipop from his pocket, with traces of blood still on it.
Shen Fangqi's heart felt extremely sad in an instant.
Overnight, the kid lost his parents, his home, everything...
It seemed that because Shen Fangqi was the one who carried him out of the trash can, the boy had a feeling of dependence on Shen Fangqi. Shen Fangqi temporarily acted as the boy's temporary dad.
He handed over the task of investigation to other police officers, took the boy to the hospital, and did a physical examination, confirming that there was nothing wrong with him other than being overly frightened.
But the boy was very resistant to the psychiatrist, and even the grandparents who rushed over immediately, he was unwilling to pay attention.
Because the boy's reaction was too great, after Shen Fangqi took the boy back to the Public Security Bureau, after the discussion between the Public Security Bureau and the grandparents of the other party, Shen Fangqi temporarily took him back to take care of him for a period of time.
Seeing this little child in his arms, Shen Fangqi couldn't help but soften his heart.
He suddenly thought of his childhood.
At that time, he still had a younger brother, who was his support.
And who can this child rely on now
"Don't be afraid, can you stay at my house for a while?" Shen Fangqi said to the boy. Although the other party didn't give him any response, Shen Fangqi didn't feel unhappy, but was more gentle and careful.
The boy sat in the co-pilot with black and white eyes open, looking out the window all the time.
In fact, he should be allowed to sit in the back, but Shen Fangqi was worried, so he let the boy sit in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt.
Along the way, the boy still didn't say anything.
No matter what Shen Fangqi said, he still didn't respond, which made Shen Fangqi feel very worried.
Crying is the most common way for children to vent their emotions. They are not afraid of the child's distress, but they are afraid that the child will keep holding back without saying a word, which will eventually affect their whole life.
Shen Fangqi sent a message to Shen Mu'an when he was still more than ten minutes away from home.
When Shen Mu'an received the news, he was buying a change of clothes for the boy Shen Fangqi mentioned in a children's clothing store. He ran to the mall after work to buy some daily necessities for the child.
After shopping for clothes, Shen Muan wanted to go back with his things, but on the way, he suddenly saw a light brown bear in the window of a toy store with a black bow on its neck.
I don't know why, Shen Mu'an bought this little bear by accident.
When he got home, Shen Fangqi had already brought the boy home.
The boy was sitting on the sofa, looking at the very lazy white gloves lying in front of the TV with both eyes. White Gloves twisted his body into a very strange position and also stared at the boy.
Shen Fangqi looked at it, and simply hugged the white glove in front of the boy: "This is a white glove, my brother's cat." Although he was doing most of the work such as feeding, bathing, and shoveling excrement, this cat was indeed It was raised by Shen Mu'an.
The boy subconsciously moved aside, even if the white glove was a cat, he still had to keep a safe distance from the white glove.
In this room, only Shen Fangqi is the closest to him.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Fangqi knew that Shen Mu'an had returned, and he suddenly had the feeling that the savior had returned. But the next moment, Shen Fangqi found that the boy's expression was very strange, it seemed that it was caused by the sound of the door opening.
"Don't be afraid." Shen Fangqi reached out and patted the boy's back, trying to comfort him.
Shen Muan put all his things at the door, and he noticed the boy as soon as he entered, but he didn't go over to say hello or say something immediately. As usual, he put down his things and went to the kitchen to wash his hands. When he came out, he still had two bottles of soda in his hand.
Shen Mu'an sat on the sofa very naturally, he put the soda on the coffee table and turned on the TV, as if he didn't notice the boy.
Shen Muan's series of actions made the nervous boy relax a little bit, and he kept staring at Shen Muan. Shen Fangqi probably understood Shen Muan's plan, and kept quiet all the time, watching him make contact with the boy.
"Do you want a drink?" Shen Mu'an suddenly picked up another can of soda and handed it to the boy. He was calm and looked at the boy.
After about three or four minutes, the boy stretched out his hand, took the soda, and took a sip very carefully.
This is a breakthrough, both Shen Muan and Shen Fangqi are aware of this.
Seeing the boy's actions, Shen Fangqi knew that he was right to bring the child back, because from the incident until now, the boy not only has not said a word, he has not even had a sip of food or water.
The boy seemed to be really thirsty, he drank up the soda that Shen Muan gave him in a few gulps, he put down the bottle with some unfulfilled intentions, Shen Muan brought him a cold drink.
The boy continued to drink from the cup.
About half an hour later, Shen Mu'an suddenly said, "I'm hungry, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
The boy still didn't answer. He touched his stomach, which had already started to growl.
Shen Muan didn't care whether he was willing to answer his own words, and continued: "Shall we cook noodles today?"
The boy nodded without any comment.
"Then do you want one egg or two?" Shen Mu'an asked again.
This time, the boy thought for a moment and held out two fingers.
"Two eggs, do you want poached eggs or boiled eggs?" Shen Mu'an continued to ask.
The boy was stunned for a moment, and he gestured twice, but found that Shen Mu'an was looking at him with a puzzled face, so he didn't continue.
Shen Muan was not in a hurry, he went straight to the kitchen and started cooking noodles.
The boy could smell the aroma from the kitchen while sitting on the sofa, which made him even hungrier even though he was already very hungry. Shen Fangqi watched from the side, feeling a little more relaxed.
Thinking of his two eggs, the boy wondered whether Shen Mu'an would make them for him, after struggling for a while, he quietly went to the kitchen.
Shen Fangqi wanted to stop it, he was afraid that the boy would recall what happened yesterday when he went to the kitchen, but the situation didn't seem as bad as he imagined.
The kitchen in their home is different from the kitchen in a restaurant.
Especially when the boy was very hungry.
The boy stood on tiptoe, looked around, and found that Shen Muan was only cooking noodles, without eggs.
He grabbed the corner of Shen Muan's clothes, a little eagerly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mu'an asked knowingly, he wanted the child to speak, so he deliberately pretended not to understand what the boy was saying.
The boy gestured for a long time, but found that Shen Mu'an still didn't understand, he finally couldn't bear the feeling of hunger, and said the first word of the day.
"Egg."
The boy's voice was a bit dry and hoarse. Although he had already drank a lot of water, his throat was a little uncomfortable due to his thirst for a long time.
"Ah, do you want eggs?" Shen Mu'an suddenly realized, and asked again, "Do you want poached eggs or boiled eggs?"
"Poached eggs." This time the boy spoke a lot more fluently. At first he resisted speaking because of fear, but now it seems that it has reduced his fear, and... this person gave him a different feeling.
White Gloves saw everyone went to the kitchen, thought there was something delicious, and wanted to sneak in, but Shen Fangqi grabbed his tail, and could only watch Shen Muan and the boy in the kitchen helplessly.
Shen Muan gave the boy a big bowl of noodles with two poached eggs on it, which smelled delicious. Before Shen Muan brought it to the table, the boy took a bite with his hands.
With a mouthful of noodles, the boy was stunned. Looking at the gentle young man in front of him, he suddenly remembered his mother.
Tears welled up from his eyes, and fell drop by drop on his body, on the ground.
From crying silently at the very beginning to crying loudly at the end.
Hearing the boy's cry, Shen Mu'an breathed a sigh of relief, he hugged the little guy in front of him: "It's okay, don't be afraid, cry... I'm here."
"Don't be afraid anymore, uncle police and I will protect you."
"Don't be afraid..."
The boy cried for a long time, until the end. He was tired from crying but also hungry. In the end, he ate noodles while crying.
Shen Mu'an and Shen Fangqi have been watching from the side.
In the end, the boy fell asleep directly on the table.
Shen Muan carefully carried the boy back to his room and put him on the bed. He remembered the little bear he bought today, took it out of the bag, and placed it next to the boy.
"Ruirui, good night, have a good rest." Shen Mu'an kissed the boy on the forehead lightly, and then quietly left the room.
