I fell asleep after taking a shower, but I couldn't sleep, I woke up from a dream, I wanted to read a book for a while, but I felt that my whole body was like a puppet that had been taken away, and I didn't have the strength to sit up, and I couldn't even find a comfortable lying position, I couldn't stop tossing and turning, and I was obviously sleeping in an air-conditioned room, but I was sweating profusely after a while.

It was late at night, and finally fell asleep in a daze, but the mobile phone on the pillow rang loudly, Qi Yun touched the phone in annoyance, and lazily fed it, but the voice on the phone did not belong to any of her fox friends and dogs, but Uncle Xiao, the boss of her mother's original hospital.

Uncle Xiao Qiyun has never seen much, I heard that he was his mother's classmate in college, but his mother's classmates were dozens of people, and he was the most accomplished in the field of medicine and management. Qi Yun also heard the gossip that this Uncle Xiao had a crush on his mother when he was young, but unexpectedly, his mother was chased away by Cheng Biting Jin, Qi Yun's father, who was killed halfway. It is said that Uncle Xiao also languished for a while at that time, and then simply devoted himself to work, which can be regarded as a great achievement, but the family life is not very happy, and it was not until he was in his thirties that he was introduced to marry a wife, not to mention, the relationship was tense after marriage, and he was separated for a long time, and Uncle Xiao usually lived in a dormitory assigned to him by the hospital.

Uncle Xiao's speech and demeanor are old-fashioned intellectuals, and his modest and gentlemanly demeanor also fascinated Xiao Qiyun. But this is a person who has always been humble and calm, and Taishan has not changed color even when he collapses in front of him, but now he calls at night, Qi Yun jumped up from the bed in shock, and asked incoherently:

"Uncle Shaw, is there something going on? How do you ...... Will you call me? ”

Uncle Xiao's voice came from the phone, his breathing was short, and he seemed to be trying his best to suppress his emotions:

"Yunyun, Uncle told you one thing, don't be afraid first, that ...... You take a deep breath first. ”

Qi Yun took a deep breath, but felt that he was almost out of breath, and his throat seemed to be wrapped around a thin thread. She shouted into the phone with a hoarse cry:

"Uncle Shaw, let's talk about it...... Say it! ”

Uncle Xiao's own breathing had just stabilized a little, and he said carefully:

"That's right, your mother forgot to turn off the gas in the kitchen, carbon monoxide poisoning, and now ...... He is being rescued in our hospital. Yunyun, don't panic, it's not that scary, but we're all the same, and if you care, you're messy...... Well, when it's dawn, you can take the earliest flight back. ”

Uncle Xiao hung up the phone after speaking, and there was a busy beep on the other end of the phone, like a dream. Qi Yun waited until dawn, immediately jumped up, put on clothes and shoes, grabbed a small bag and a phone and ran out. Passing by the door of Hong Jian's room, she hesitated slightly for a moment, and immediately continued to run away without stopping.

The strong sea breeze was still blowing, and the night was sinking like a bottomless abyss. It was a five-star hotel with a view of the sea and a private beach right outside the window, but now it is as barren as the junction of earth and hell. Qi Yun was carrying a small bag and running shallow feet deep in the sand, her temples jumping violently, and her heart was full of premonitions that she didn't dare to think.

She broke the heel of her shoe and limped but continued to run until she reached the side of the roadway closest to the hotel, where a kind driver picked her up and took her to the airport. Along the way, Qi Yun didn't know if he had been crossing the cave road, but he felt that it was suddenly bright and dark, and he didn't know what year it was.

When she arrived at the airport and got a ticket for the most recent departure, she leaned against the pale departure lounge seat, and the tiredness hit like a tsunami. She picked up her mobile phone and set an alarm, curled up and fell asleep on the seat, but she woke up by herself for more than ten minutes, and at the moment when she didn't open her eyes, she only hoped that everything was a dream, but she knew that she would not be so lucky, so she had to wake up alone with a wry smile.

The plane landed in his hometown city, Qi Yun took a taxi to the hospital where Uncle Xiao worked, and stumbled to Uncle Xiao's office with his memory, fortunately, the people in the hospital were used to seeing life and death, and they only treated her gaffes as normal. She pushed open the office door and saw Uncle Shaw's face gloomy, his usual straight and proper white coat wrinkled, and a young male doctor standing next to him with the same serious expression.

Qi Yun pounced on it and shouted, "Uncle Xiao, Qi Yun is here." Uncle Xiao, who was eternally cold and reserved and unsmiling in his memory, also rushed up with a call at this moment, hugged Qi Quyun tightly, gently patted her back with one hand, and took off his glasses to wipe the corners of his eyes with the other.

The young male doctor Qi Yun vaguely remembered that he was Uncle Xiao's protégé, and came over at this moment and said:

"Xiao Yuan, you are tired all night and need to rest. Let me talk to Miss Qi. ”

Uncle Xiao waved his hand and motioned for the young man to go out, but the young man hesitated, but he still obeyed the teacher's orders, and took the office door with him when he went out.

The door card answered, Qi Yun only felt that the hairs on her body stood up, she struggled to get up from Uncle Xiao's arms, took two steps back, stared at Uncle Xiao and asked:

"Where's my mom? My mom she's ...... Is she already ......? ”

Uncle Xiao said in a dumb voice: "Yunyun, Uncle lied to you...... Your mother's first check-up when she was admitted to the hospital had already found that she had no recovery...... Uncle is afraid that you won't be able to accept it, and something will happen on the way, so ...... Please forgive Uncle. ”

Qi Yun didn't cry, just gritted his teeth tightly. Half-loud, he laughed weirdly twice, and asked softly:

"Uncle Xiao, my mother, like you, is also a medical student. She has a habit of cleanliness and is as careful as a hair, not to mention that my family has Aunt Qin, she almost never goes to the kitchen, how can she be gas poisoned? ”

Uncle Xiao was silent. Qi Yun ran so that his knees were weak, and he was about to kneel down in front of Uncle Xiao at this moment, Uncle Xiao hurriedly supported her and said bitterly:

"Your mom came to see me the other day. She said......"

Qi Yun grabbed Uncle Xiao's wrist to support his body, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to him. Uncle Xiao hesitated, and then continued:

“…… We are old classmates and have known each other for 30 years...... Your mother has always been such a quiet and elegant person, and she has never seen her fall in love...... But that day, her hair was messy, her eyes were swollen like peaches, and her face was gray and yellow...... She said...... She said, "Your dad has someone outside......"

Qi Yun gasped coldly, so far, this answer is not too surprising. Uncle Xiao then said slowly: "I heard that the third party also gave birth to a son, and it came to your house a few days ago, and your mother couldn't be angry......

Qi Yun listened to this, Huo Ran stood up straight, and asked sharply: "Uncle Xiao, does this mean that my mother was forced to death by my father?" ”

Uncle Xiao shook his head and said, "I can't say that." When your mother came, she was anxious, but more like she was asking me about how to deal with the third party who came to the door...... Hehe, I've almost been a man who has lived alone all my life, how can I have a way to do this kind of thing...... But all in all, it didn't look like your mom was going to die that day. Of course, when this kind of thing happens, people will always be uneasy, I heard that your nanny Xiaoqin happened to ask for leave to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, but I am afraid that something will happen in the middle ......of the busy, and it is also destiny to think about it."

Uncle Shaw's voice grew lower and lower. Qi Yun bit his lip and smiled, sat down slowly with an office chair, and said bitterly, "That's right, or ...... My dad killed my mom. As soon as the words came out, Uncle Xiao was also speechless.

There was a slight ticking of a wall clock in the room, a reminder of the swift and indifferent passage of time. Qi Yun suddenly raised his head and asked, "What about my dad?" Where is my dad now? Turning his head and seeing Uncle Xiao looking at her in embarrassment, not knowing what to say, Qi Yun's chest was cold, and he nodded in pain.

Although Qi Yun was unwilling and unwilling, Uncle Xiao still insisted on arranging a single VIP ward for her, forcing her to rest for a day before talking about other things. But how could Qi Yun fall asleep? After thinking about it, I decided to call my father, but my father's mobile phone kept turning off. Qi Yun lay straight in the single VIP ward for a morning and half an afternoon, but his father's mobile phone never passed. What is my father doing at the moment? Could it be that he is having fun with that little three? Oh yes, and the son of the junior...... Qi Yun's teeth were crushed, but he still didn't dare to imagine the scenario he had preset. Everyone says that girls often love their fathers, and she Qi Yun is like this, her father has been her dearest person since she was a child.

Only this time, the image of her father collapsed in her heart and shattered into powder.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Uncle Xiao, who had been busy in the hospital for another day, came to visit Qi Yun in the single ward, and saw that Qi Yun was still staring at the ceiling, his eyes were scattered, and his face was full of tears. Uncle Xiao walked over, put his hand on the back of Qi Yun's hand and persuaded him, "If you don't eat again, I will call the little nurse to give you a nutrient solution." ”

Qi Yun was startled, and when she looked up, she realized that Uncle Xiao was beside her, so she quickly smiled apologetically, and reached for the milk and bread on the bedside table that someone had prepared for her. The milk was in a cup, I am afraid that it was warmed for her before, but now it was cold again, Qi Yun felt a wave of nausea, but he still closed his eyes, as if swallowing Chinese medicine, he held his breath and swallowed it in a big gulp.

Seeing her bite two more bites of bread and put it down, Uncle Xiao grabbed Qi Yun's wrist, and condensed his eyebrows for a while, before his face turned a little pale. was about to say something to Qi Yun again, but at this moment he found that the door of the ward was pushed open, and a dusty man walked in.

When Uncle Xiao saw him, he felt a little relieved, and hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Hong Jian, it's good that you're here, Yunyun is still in a bad mood now, and only you can persuade her to be suitable." ”

Hong Jian nodded, walked in and sat next to Qi Yun. Originally, he still had some blame Qi Yun from Hainan without saying goodbye, he got up early in the morning and saw that the door of her room was open, and the luggage was thrown all over the ground, but the person was gone, and he was so frightened that he almost lost three souls and seven spirits. But then his father called to inform Qi Yun of what had happened, and his slight anger turned into heartache - but, no matter what, it was good to find her.

He thanked Uncle Xiao for owing, "Yes, Qi Yun will leave it to me." You've worked hard, but take the time to rest and rest. I'll take Qi Yun home later, and I'll accompany her, so you can rest assured." ”

Uncle Xiao nodded, but after all, he was still not at ease, and said a few more words to Hong Jian before turning around and going out to continue his busy work. As soon as Uncle Xiao left, Qi Yun said to Hong Jian: "Brother Ah Jian, send me home, I don't want to stay in this place." ”

Hong Jian didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to drag Qi Yun out of the hospital door. The two of them sat in the taxi, Qi Yun was silent, and Hong Jian didn't say a word, although they were not usually the kind of couple who chattered non-stop, but today this kind of dullness has never been before, and somehow there is a strange atmosphere that is secretly throbbing in the air. Qi Yun couldn't help but ask himself: Is this unfortunate day all over?

When she arrived at Qi Yun's door, Hong Jian took Qi Yun's key and helped her open the door. The key card clicked in the lock, Hong Jian glanced at Qi Yun who was bowing his head beside him, and asked her in a low voice:

"Did you call your dad?"

The door opened, Qi Yunyi raised his eyebrows and walked into the house, and asked coldly, "Who is my father?" Where do I have any dad? ”

But in the living room, I saw a group photo of my parents, each with a kind smile on their faces, quietly frozen in time. Qi Yun felt that his chest was hit by the weight of Qianjun, and he was numb with pain. She picked up a Czech crystal pot in her hand and was about to smash the photo, but when she saw her mother's lifelike face, she was still reluctant to put down the crystal pot and fell on the sofa.

Hong Jian squatted in front of Qi Yun, took her hand away, and closed it in his big palm,

"Yunyun, don't blame Uncle Qi, he didn't go to give his aunt a ride, and he had to ......"

Qi Yun sneered: "Who am I to blame? Who are you talking about? There was a fierce hatred in her voice that made her own shudder. Hong Jian sighed, and then said, "Uncle Qi...... He couldn't answer the phone because his phone was confiscated. Others didn't go to the hospital...... It is also because his personal freedom is restricted......"

Qi Yun jumped up: "What did you say?" Where is my dad now? ”

Hong Jian also stood up, his figure looked extremely tall at this moment, and Qi Yun felt as if he had to look up to see it. The nerves were too tense that day and night, and Qi Yun felt a strong dizziness as soon as he raised his head.

Hong Jian firmly held Qi Yun's shoulders and said word by word: "Uncle Qi has something wrong with his work, and he is currently under double regulation." ”

Qi Yun stared at Hong Jian with wide eyes, as if he couldn't understand his words. He stared at him for a long time before he muttered:

"Shuanggui? You say my dad...... Was shuanggui?? ”

Seeing Hong Jian silently, Qi Yun nodded bitterly, "My father's level has the ability to attack him...... In our province, it's only your dad......"

She suddenly burst into laughter, laughing with tears on her face, "Hong Jian, if I remember correctly, you were still proposing to me yesterday. But today you told me that you guys shuanggui my dad...... Very good, you actually prepared such a rich bride price for your future father-in-law and future in-laws? ”

Hong Jian struggled to hold Qi Yun, but he didn't dare to get too close to her,

"Yunyun, although my dad is a good member of the shuanggui team, but at Uncle Qi's level, my dad is not enough to host his case, and he needs someone from a higher level of agency to take charge of it...... In addition, Yunyun, calm down, Uncle Qi is not being shuanggui for no reason, and this is not my father's private behavior. Although I can understand that you have resentment in your heart now, you should understand that it is not us who is at fault! ”

"How do you calm me down?" Qi Yun buried his face in his palm, whimpered and said, "My mother is dead, and I only have one father now...... How do you calm me down?! ”

She cried sadly, and Hong Jian's heart also fluttered. Just when he didn't know what to say, Qi Yun suddenly jumped up and grabbed Hong Jian's hand and asked, "What did you just say?" A higher level of agency? Isn't that the prefix of the country? So what to do? Is my dad dead? ”

Hong Jian wanted to say that he didn't know the details, but Qi Yun had already let go of his hand and muttered, "Even if there is someone from a higher-level agency in charge, but what about the specific case, it wasn't your father's handle?" You...... You are the chief reporter of China News Agency, do you dare to say that you have no news beforehand? ”

Hong Jian had nothing to say, so he had to be silent. Qi Yun raised her teary eyes, and a vague sneering smile floated to the corner of her lips,

"Hong Jian, no wonder you said to me yesterday: if one day, we stand in opposite positions...... Very well, it seems that you have known about it for a long time...... But you never leaked anything to me, are you afraid that I will report to my dad and let him abscond? ”

Hong Jian asked gently, "Will you, Yunyun?" If I leaked something to you in the morning, would you do that? ”

"You ask me? Of course I won't! I'll give your dad a chance to be a bag of blues! Let him pull out the guillotine and kill my dad! That's a great joy for everyone, and it also gives us a bad breath for the two of us! ”

Hong Jian rubbed Qi Yun's face lightly with his fingers, trying to make the terrifying sneer on her face disappear. But Qi Yun waved his hand away, stretched out his hand and pushed him out of the door:

"You go! Right now! ”

Hong Jian staggered backwards for a few steps before standing firm and grabbing Qi Yun's hand again:

"Yunyun, you know my dad's personality, he never told me about work. However, judging from his attitude towards you a while ago, he should have been unaware of this case in advance. In addition, it is rumored that our two families will marry sooner or later, do you think others can investigate the case without avoiding him? It's just that since yesterday, he was suddenly appointed to the panel, and he has to do it if he doesn't. ”

Listening to what Hong Jian said was reasonable, Qi Yun's emotions finally calmed down a little. But the next sentence of the cold arrow was: "My dad didn't know in advance, but I heard the wind." ”

Qi Yun couldn't help jumping up again and glared at Hong Jian: "You? ……”

Hong Jian spread his palms, "Yes." This incident has something to do with a news lead that I have been pursuing, but I don't know that the final result of the pursuit will be like this. Yunyun, do you still remember the Fangqin in the village who worked in the county seat and returned to the city while she was pregnant when you volunteered two years ago? ”

Qi Yun was confused, and he couldn't understand what Hong Jian was saying at all. Isn't Fangqin Yuqin's sister? was ruined by a scumbag with a little power in the county, Qi Yun himself once followed Hong Jian to the county seat to visit that scumbag, but he died for some reason. Although Qi Yun hadn't seen Fangqin again for nearly two years, he had been seeing her teary eyes in his dreams, and he felt worried every time he woke up.

"The details of this matter have not yet been investigated, but part of the current surface is that some in-service cadres in the county took the lead in building a high-end **, which ...... Among them, there are many vicious cases of forcing good people to become prostitutes and accommodating young girls, and Uncle Qi, as the leader of the provincial construction system, is also involved in this matter......"

Qi Yun's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't make a sound for half a sound. Father? The father she had always worshipped as a god? Unexpectedly...... Involved in such a dirty thing?

She wouldn't believe it was true. However, if the father who has always cherished his wife and loved his daughter can be a man who has breaded outside the home** and has an illegitimate child, what else in this world cannot be trusted? For the first time in her life, Qi Yun suddenly burst out with a strong hatred for her father, not only because his father betrayed the home that she and her mother were guarding wholeheartedly, but also because he suddenly broke the most beautiful things in her world, and cruelly made her see the unfathomable human nature and the endless gushing out of evil in the cracks.

Qi Yun stood in the center of the living room blankly. Hong Jian walked around her home to see that everything was normal, and that there should be no problem in maintaining the simplest life, before returning to Qi Yun.

"Yunyun, I think that since things have come to this point, it is not the power of one person that can make it stop...... Since my dad is involved, he has to investigate this case responsibly...... So, I haven't been able to come to see you lately, not because I'm afraid of anything, but because I don't want to let this matter get out of the way......"

The words that Hong Jian said were stagnant. Finally speaking, he sighed, barely having the courage to look at Qi Yun's reaction. Unexpectedly, Qi Yun just chuckled and said very happily:

"I'm fine. You can go now. ”

Hong Jian looked at Qi Yun, his heart full of unspeakable loss. Qi Yun suddenly lost the last bit of patience, waved his hand and pushed Hong Jian hard at the door, and finally pushed Hong Jian out of her door.

"Hong Jian, you and Uncle Hong, you all handle the case well, I wish you early success!"

After Qi Yun finished speaking, he slammed the door shut. Then she leaned her back against the door herself, gasping for air.

She heard the sound of Suo Suo taking out a cigarette from his pocket outside, and then he seemed to smell a trace of tobacco, spicy and choking, but with a little human fireworks, making her feel that she was still alive.

However, this may just be Qi Yun's illusion. The door of Qi Yun's house was originally chosen by his mother, and it was very well closed, so it is said that even if there is a smell of smoke outside, it will not be transmitted to the house.

It was probably a cigarette, Qi Yun heard the person outside the door sigh heavily. It seems that he has made up his mind to leave, and the first few steps are quite hesitant and hesitant, answer, answer. But after a few steps, the normal rhythm was restored. After this footstep finally left Qi Yun's ears and Qi Yun's heart, Qi Yun wiped his face, and his face was already full of tears.

Qi Yun thought: It's all over.

The sore throat was like a fire, and Qi Yun remembered that he hadn't eaten anything for a day and a night, and he hadn't even drunk a sip of water except for the glass of milk that Uncle Xiao had asked him to prepare. She staggered into the kitchen, there was still some food in the refrigerator, she couldn't eat it, but the water dispenser was dry, she picked up the kettle and took a pot of water from the faucet, and sat down on the gas stove.

She went back to the living room and waited for the water to boil, and as soon as her groggy body was next to the sofa, she actually fell asleep. Because of the huge exhaustion accumulated from the excitement in the front, this sleep turned out to be very heavy. When I woke up, I only felt a headache, remembered the pot of water I had boiled, and forced my heavy body into the kitchen, only to find that the valve of the gas stove was open, and the kettle sat quietly on the stove, but the water was not boiling at all.

She slept for a long time with the gas stove on which there was no fire. Thinking of his mother's loss of illness due to carbon monoxide poisoning, Qi Yun couldn't help but feel a little frightened. However, when I turned my head to look at the main gas valve at home, it had been firmly screwed up.

No wonder the water couldn't boil, it couldn't be lit, she didn't even notice it just now. Qi Yun smiled bitterly, but didn't have the strength to unscrew the valve. At this time, the mobile phone text message prompted the sound, Qi Yun opened it and saw that it was a text message sent two hours ago, Qi Yun's mobile phone would prompt every 5 minutes if he didn't read the text message, and she didn't know how many words the phone rang, she didn't hear it.

The text message was sent by Hong Jian, with only a few words:

"There was purified water in the fridge and a takeaway call written on the urinals on the phone cabinet."

After reading it, Qi Yun moved his fingers lightly and deleted the text message.

Putting down the phone, I was about to go to the refrigerator to get water to drink, I thought about it, I went back again, turned out all the contact information of Hong Jian in the address book, and pressed the delete button.
