According to the current clues, the sequence of events is as follows:

When Xie Qingcheng's parents were investigating a certain case, they met Wei Rong in the Yanzhou clubhouse. Soon after that, Xie Ping and Zhou Muying were both demoted again, and then went out every day During the event, he was struck and killed by a spontaneous combustion truck.

And a week after the death of the Xie couple, Wei Rong, who was newly married, also died, and the cause of death was actually a car accident.

Xie Qingcheng checked Wei Rong's husband Meng Sheng's remarriage time, which was half a year after the woman's death. This time point is also very intriguing. Under normal circumstances, if a person's newly married spouse dies unexpectedly, even if the living one wants to remarry, it will take at least three years and five years.

There are only three reasons for rushing to marry a bride just after the wife died

First, before my wife died, she hooked up with her new love.

Secondly, the family still has a very backward habit of "Chongxi".

Thirdly, there is no relationship between husband and wife.

In the marriage between big families, the third situation is the most common, but Meng Sheng married another woman in less than half a year when Wei Rong's body was not cold and he died unexpectedly and tragically , this kind of behavior should be blamed on Wei Rong's family.

However, the strange thing is that the relationship between the Meng and Wei families has not been greatly affected by this.

At this point, the investigation has fallen into a fog again.

However, behind this woman named Wei Rong, there must be precious clues that can solve the murder of his parents. This is beyond doubt.

At the same time, Xie Qingcheng was also slightly relieved - he always thought that his parents met the man behind the scenes, but now it seems that his parents may have met the victim, since Wei Rong is likely to be the same The victim, then this conspiracy may not involve Xie Xue's husband's family.

He can continue to explore along this road.

Small summer heat arrived, Xie Qingcheng took a break from his busy schedule and cooked a pot of peas and ham stewed rice.

Because he restarted the investigation of the case, and at the same time raced against time to complete the works for Lao Qin, the two major things were all on him, even if he relied on RN-13 to stimulate his own The ability of the first emperor to maintain the agility of thinking far exceeds that of normal people, and he can't help but feel extremely tired.

"Eating ham and pea rice in Xiaoshu is the best way to replenish physical and mental strength."

This is what Zhou Muying told him when he was a child. Although there is no scientific basis, sometimes psychological comfort is far more important than scientific basis.

The rice grains absorbed the fat from the sausages and bacon, and even Xie Xue, who didn't like peas, would serve three bowls in a row.

This is the first time Xie Qingcheng has cooked a pot of pea rice, but he is the only one to eat it.

“…overcooked.”

He looked at the pot full of rice and wanted to call Xie Xue, but finally put down the phone and sighed.

In the afternoon, Brother Wei called Xie Qing, saying that the police had given the final investigation result of the poisoning case at the Wei Family Wedding Banquet Villa.

"It's ridiculous, from the remaining incense ashes, they have identified high concentrations of hallucinogens and ecstasy. The waitress has been repeatedly interrogated for more than a month, but she has not provided any meaningful clues." Wei Er said, "She may be too capable, and the spy's mouth is not as strict as her."

Xie Qingcheng suddenly asked, "Does she have nosebleeds?"

"No." Wei Er wondered, "Why do you ask that?"

Xie Qing said: "...Nothing."

Although Huang Zhilong's company has been linked to the pot, the core secret of "obedient water" is still only in the hands of a few people. Once the existence of this chemical is completely announced, the consequences are likely to be unimaginable.

Meiyu later studied it carefully. Although the new version of Obedient Water and RN-13 have many similarities, the power and side effects of Obedient Water are far lower than those of RN-13. Its effect on the human body is only Temporarily, it seems that it is not easy to cause diseases as serious as mental Ebola.

However, it may still cause varying degrees of harm to users.

Such as depression, bipolar disorder, delusional disorder... Some people with severe reactions will also experience coma, drowsiness and other phenomena like Xie Xue. And whether obedient water will cause similar damage to the victim, after aesthetic education research, the main criterion is to see whether the symptoms of intermittent nosebleeds occur within two months.

If so, it must be treated.

If not, it means that the obedient water did not cause harm to the individual of this case, and no further intervention is required.

"But the He family is also weird." Wei Er said on the other end of the phone, "This matter has involved their eldest son, but they have been investigating the police for more than a month. I don't know the progress, I don't even show my face, as if I don't have much interest."

Xie Qingcheng: "...Probably they think that the original target of the poisoner was not He Yu, and it was not the He family who wanted to plot against it."

"That's still too outrageous." Wei Er's tone was full of dissatisfaction, "What happened to their children? I heard before that the He family's favoritism is famous. Yes, the parents only see the little one, I don't really believe it, but this time I saw it."

Xie Qingcheng did not comment on this, only asked: "What is the final investigation result?"

"The powder is something I have never seen in China, but in the Golden Triangle, the anti-drug police once seized it together with the drugs. It is a kind of drug produced and sold by an overseas pharmaceutical company exploiting local legal loopholes. Fascinating fragrance." Wei Er said, "It's foreign, it's hard to track down, but the other party committed a crime on our surnamed Wei's head. I will definitely go overseas to find out about this matter. Don't worry. Our Wei family, It's not so easy to bully, and it won't be like the He family, and it doesn't even care about your relatives."

“…Thank you.”

Wei Er snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "You're welcome, it's a family."

Hang up the phone, Xie Qingcheng could not help frowning slightly.

Judging from his confrontation with Lu Zhishu at that time, Lu Zhishu was very concerned about the reputation of her family, but why did she not pay attention to this case at all?

And what about He Jiwei? Why didn't he care... In Xie Qingcheng's impression, He Jiwei was not such a person, he at least cared a little bit about He Yu.

However, now that he has completely broken with the He family, no one can answer these doubts for him.

In the evening, Xie Qingcheng had just finished heating the pea rice, and was ready to go back to work after dinner.

I turned on the rice cooker unexpectedly, and there was a hesitant knock on the door outside.

Xie Qingcheng opened the door, slightly surprised.

“…Chen slow.”

Standing at the door was Chen Yan, whom he hadn't seen since the wedding banquet.

Chen Gan later apologized to him, sent a message, made a phone call, but Xie Qingcheng didn't say much, meaning that the past is gone, such a ridiculous thing will be treated as such in the future It never happened, so as not to embarrass each other.

Chen slow wanted to see Xie Qingcheng several times, but he was also rejected by Xie Qingcheng. Who knew he would come directly to the door today.

"Brother Xie..." It could be seen that Chen Wan was very nervous, he first handed Xie Qingcheng a bunch of gift boxes he brought, and then said uneasy, "I, I can come in Would you like to sit down?"

“…”

Everyone came, and it was inappropriate for people to close the door, so Xie Qingcheng opened the door and turned sideways.

Chen slow entered the house, Xie Qingcheng did not close the door, but left it open, and the surrounding neighbors could see the condition of his house.

The atmosphere between them used to be as natural as brothers, but now it is too rigid to speak.

Long silence.

Finally, Xie Qingcheng spoke first: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet..."

Xie Qingcheng turned around and added another pair of bowls and chopsticks, filled an extra bowl of peas and bacon rice, and said to Chen Xun: "Sit down and eat first. If you have something to do, eat while you go. Say."

During this process, he never looked into Chen Man's eyes.

Chen Wan also ate pea rice made by Xie Qingcheng when he was a child. It was Xiaoshu in the second year after his brother left. He came to Xie Qingcheng's house and asked Xie Qingcheng to teach him his homework. , Xie Qingcheng patiently combed all the knowledge points with him. When it was time for dinner, he greeted Chen Man and Xie Xue to the small courtyard in Yuxiang, and the three of them were eating pea rice under the white orchid tree. , drinking watermelon juice...

Now that I think about it, it's like a dream.

"Brother Xie, I came today to apologize to you. In the villa that day, I—"

Xie Qingcheng interrupted him: "You have already sent me a message and called me. You don't need to say more about this matter in the future."

Chen slow looked at the man sitting opposite him and insisted: "No, brother, please let me finish this time. Because...because I'm leaving Shanghai soon."

He saw the young man's face lose a lot of weight.

“…”

"I'm leaving Huzhou soon." Chen Man said it again, and there seemed to be water vapor in his voice.

Xie Qingcheng: "...to Yanzhou?"

Chen slow shook his head: "Guangshi."

"Where to do what."

Chen slow lowered his head, and after a while, he raised his eyes, looking sad and determined: "I applied for transfer. There are many immigration personnel in Guangzhou, and the criminal investigation has been lacking for the past two years. Man, I applied to be transferred over there to be a front-line police officer. I have received the transfer order notice, the day after tomorrow, I will be leaving."

Xie Qingcheng: "..."

The fan in the house swayed and swayed, and the subtle humming became the only source of sound in the house.

Chen slow bowed his head and said nothing.

Xie Qingcheng: "Don't you know that the most dangerous jobs are lacking there? The tasks with the fatality rate second only to the border of the Golden Triangle? You go to Guangshi for a brain like you. Front-line detective? Why don't you find a tree and just **** hang yourself!"

Chen slow's face flushed, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

What can you do, ah? You are a little brat with no hair, why the **** do you want to kill yourself! Do you think you are a hero?!"

"My brother also—"

"Your brother is your brother! You are you! Your brother was the first graduate of the police academy and he died! His comrade-in-arms, who was at the same time as him, is also one of my parents The apprentice, who is also one of the best, and later sacrificed! What about you?! You should stay at the police station, what's wrong with the police? What's the matter with the police officers?"

"No." Chen slow was scolded by him, and finally retorted with a trembling voice, his eyes flashed with excitement, "No, brother. I don't think there is anything wrong with the police. Okay, but I know I'm in Huzhou. I'm under the care of you and my parents and grandfather. I'll always be just a little kid. You care about me, but no one looks down on me...even myself Look down on myself!"

“…”

"In the hotel that day, I completely lost my sense and judgment. If I was mature enough, I would not have done such a thing. I should not have said that to you. Excessive, so hurtful words." Chen Gan wiped away his tears, got up and said to Xie Qing, "Brother Xie, I'm sorry. You believed in me for so many years, you treated me well for so many years, but I hurt you like that. .I feel like I've lived up to all your expectations and care for me."

He wiped away his tears, but his eyes were still red: "I don't know what happened between you and He Yu, but I know that no matter what Brother Xie you do, you are the very Very nice person, I may not deserve to know the secret behind this, but I should trust you just like you trust me."

“…”

"Perhaps only in this way, you are willing to really take a look at me."

Xie Qingcheng raised his hand to hold his forehead, his heart was burning: "Chen slow... I don't see you, it's not that you are immature, but I don't like you at all, I I don't like men..."

"You don't like men, so why do you want to be with He Yu?" Chen slow interrupted him.

Xie Qingcheng: "I..."

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

He waited for an answer and couldn't.

And he couldn't think of an answer.

I was speechless.

Chen slow heart like a knife: "Brother Xie...when you look at him...the eyes are different from me...I'm too stupid, for so long, I didn't find it, until I recalled later From the past, only to realize...he is not just a protected person in your eyes, you look at his eyes...you...in school, in the hotel, the look when you look at him is the same as when you look at me Same…"

Xie Qingcheng didn't know at all - is this really the case?

Chen slow choked: "I know, I know you don't like me. I'm too naive, I'm not smart enough... But I also want to grow, I want to be different from before, I don't want me When I turned 80 and looked back at my life, it was so useless and bad. No opinion, always like a child."

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes: "...Your parents, does your grandfather know about this?"

"They just found out yesterday."

"...why are you not assertive." Xie Qingcheng gritted his back molars, angry and worried, he still cared about Chen Wan, "—what the **** are you? You are so assertive, Chen Yan, you are so assertive! You are wayward and lawless! I used to think that you, He Yu, and Xie Xue would be the least likely to disappoint me. Now it seems that I am totally wrong! "

Chen slow: "I don't want to be willful, I just want... I just want to be different."

“…”

"I just want to sharpen myself and stop being treated as a protected object by all of you."

“…”

"I just...I just think, Brother Xie, if I grow up, maybe one day...maybe...there will be a day when you can—"

He didn't finish.

Because Xie Qingcheng did not let him finish the second half of the sentence.

Xie Qingcheng already said: "I won't like you, Chen slow. I'm your elder."

Chen slow was silent for a long time: "What about He Yu?"

“…he is different.”

“…”

"Too many things happened between me and him, there is no way to explain to anyone." Xie Qingcheng has never admitted his feelings in front of He Yu, and at this moment, he But Yu Chen said something like this, "But He Yu is different. There is no other person who can replace him."

After a pause, he continued: "If you take such a risk and go to Guangshi as a criminal police officer, it is for me, then there is absolutely no need for you to do this."

Chen slow stared at him in a daze, and once again tears couldn't help bursting out of his eyes.

He raised his hand suddenly, covering his eyes, and after a while, he said hoarsely: "...I'm not for you, Brother Xie."

“…”

"I'm here, I can stand in front of you." Chen slow hissed, "Equally."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Xie Qingcheng, unable to bear the sadness in his heart any longer, turned around and rushed out.

The bowl of pea rice similar to that of childhood, Chen slow did not touch it, it was already cold.

After a while, he suddenly got up, and his emotional outburst suddenly overturned the table, and the food on the table fell to the ground. …

He took out a cigarette and lit it with trembling hands.

But before he could get close to his lips, the smell of blood rushed to his chest, Xie Qing coughed heavily, and cursed and threw the cigarette on the ground again - the place was a mess, as if in the mocking his life.

At the same time, there is a huge secret happening in the He House—

"...Sorry, I've worked so hard for so many days, but this time it's really lacking.

The emergency doctor who arrived did not put the person on the bed on the stretcher, and they made a judgment on the spot - this patient has been dead for a long time, and his body temperature is gone.

The white cloth was slowly covered to cover the face of the deceased.

The villa was as silent as a grave.

The author has something to say:

Small Theater:

He Yu: Guess who died?

Xie Qingcheng: It's not you anyway.

He Yu: What if it were me?

Xie Qingcheng: There is no emergency.

He Yu: Suppose, if there is an emergency, will you feel sorry for me?

Xie Qingcheng: ...no.

He Yu: Really? But I read today's update, you and Chen slow said that I am irreplaceable.

Xie Qingcheng: You are wrong.

He Yu: Oh? Yeah? Then I will read it to you.

Xie Qingcheng:…
