Section 418 Chinese New Year's Eve (Part II)
With the canopy, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve was not a good time for Mu Qingqing.
After the false alarm the night before, Ah Rat's body was found by Xiao Ke's side, as if to indicate that something happened to this criminal group, such as infighting, and the possibility of retaliation against her has also greatly increased, according to the general law, such a time, it is often the easiest time to find the traces of the other party, whether it is revenge or escape, there will always be a little clue, but in the past two days, the silver tiger and his gang have evaporated like the world, and some clues that can still be vaguely touched are broken in the air, Disappeared without a trace.
The case could not be solved, the Chinese New Year's Eve came again, the big guys were on vacation, she was like a child abandoned on the street, and her heart was empty. In fact, it's not mainly for the case, she doesn't have any friends here, everyone leaves one after another in the morning, she doesn't know where to run, can't she go home to watch a TV series, so throughout the afternoon, she sat in the empty office and sorted out the case several times.
In fact, of course, the entire public security bureau is not without people, but at this time, the person who arranged the duty is not a system with her, and she is not familiar with it before, so it doesn't matter if she gets together to play cards at this time, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to be reserved, especially on days like this, there is no need to let others find themselves alone in a foreign land as a stranger - quite a petty bourgeois mood.
So a person happily sorted out the files in the office until half past five, called the family and a few friends to greet the New Year, and then drove away, passing through the intersection that he passed every day to look at the vegetable market, under the gradually darkening sky, the streets were basically gone, and the lights were on in every household, and the small cart selling sugar fried chestnuts was still parked in the snow.
Should I tell him to go back......
Such thoughts flashed through my mind. She then shook her head, stepped on the accelerator and left, even if she ran over and said it, most of it was in vain. If you push his cart away, you have to risk being hit by a shovel, and it is very difficult to meet him when he is a little more normal and can communicate.
The night before she heard the other party speak suddenly, she hesitated slightly. The first thing to ask is the other party's name. Sure enough, after listening to her inquiry, the fool hesitated for a while at the bedroom door, and rubbed his forehead with his hand. Fang just said three words a little hoarsely, but no matter how he asked after that, the other party did not respond. He went back to that contemplative world, but at least it proved that the other party was not actually stupid, but should have some kind of mental illness caused by headaches.
When I think about it, the name is so simple and ordinary that I don't know how many people in China call it...... Gu Jiaming...... It's no wonder that I feel a little familiar when I hear it, I guess I've heard people with this name before......
I got home all the way, changed my clothes, and took out all kinds of meat and vegetables that I had already stocked up on from the refrigerator. Spring festival. Originally, it was ideal to make a small hot pot and eat it alone. But the problem is that there is no stove to make a small hot pot, so it can only be done. While watching TV and waiting for darkness to choose vegetables and wash vegetables, then put the cutting board on the coffee table like that and chop and chop and chop, and prepare all kinds of things one by one when the Spring Festival Gala opens.
Then, the highlight of the night really came......
Turn on the gas, light the fire, put the oil into the pot before it is hot, she frowned, up and down like a puppy, this gas stove has not been used for a long time, the plastic pipe leaks gas, looking at the kitchen full of small bowls, she was dumbfounded.
It's a great night, I don't know if it's okay to stick it with plastic tape......
It's hard to describe the mood, she was busy in the kitchen, and then she went back to the living room to watch TV a little helplessly, looking at the instant noodles and ham sausages on the coffee table, the program in the Spring Festival Gala seemed to become more and more silly, and she went to take a shower at almost half past eight, and then changed her clothes and went out, holding a big bag of potato chips in her arms - she decided anyway, she would rather starve to death tonight than eat something that boiled water......
If you drive to the city, there seem to be a few hotels to host New Year's banquets, but even if you have money, wouldn't it be more silly to eat that kind of thing, she carried potato chips, just like that in a few nearby neighborhoods for a walk, the streets are full of snow, the street lamps shine mottled shadows, the sky is alternately colored light, the fireworks are endless, you can see groups of fireworks children on the roadside, just walking alone on the street where the fireworks are rising, but it is quite a bit of an MTV heroine's feeling, often the kind of very romantic love story, At the moment, I can only comfort myself in my heart, I didn't feel hungry much, and the more I ate potato chips, the more I felt that my stomach began to be empty.
After a few blocks, a drop of cold rain hit her nose, and the sky began to rain, and she wrapped her coat tightly and ran briskly to the eaves not far away. The rain is not heavy, but it seems that it will not stop at all for a while and a half, so I will run back and be drenched in soup, and now I really have a sense of powerlessness rising from the bottom of my heart, and I will celebrate the New Year......
Running along the eaves and stopping to the next street entrance, the light of the small cart in the distance was so bright in the corner of the vegetable market, she put a batch of coats, lowered her head and sprinted quickly, slamming into the cart, the man called Gu Jiaming sat behind and was looking up at the fireworks, and glanced at him slightly.
"Phew, you're really the only one who will be here on this kind of day, buy chestnuts."
"How much?"
"Whatever, eat until it's on fire...... Anyway, I can't tell if you're confused or sober like you......"
The roof of the car can shelter from the rain, she walked inside, the other party was originally sitting on an erected wooden box, and was loading chestnuts into the paper bag at this time, Mu Qingqing went over and beat the wooden box horizontally, divided half of it and sat down, and then patted the other half, indicating that there was still a place for him to sit.
After weighing the chestnuts and collecting the money, he stood there and looked at her for a while, and after a moment, he sat down on the other side of the wooden box, and Mu Qingqing spread his hands with his back to him: "I am homeless now." ”
"The gas pipe in the house is broken, and there is not even a stove. I can't cook if I want to, and I run out and it rains, it's really ...... On the bleakest Chinese New Year's Eve, I'm still here talking to you like a fool. I don't know if you're listening......"
Holding his cheeks, Mu Qingqing said helplessly while eating, and when he turned around, he found that the other party was just looking up at the fireworks. His expression was a feeling of reminiscence, and he sighed slightly. It took a long time before he began to speak again.
"I remember you used to keep your head down...... However, I know the person in charge of setting off this fireworks, and he has a relative in the city government. There is a relationship, every year this kind of fireworks are set off, hundreds of thousands. If you do a vote, you will rest all year long, and he invited a group of people to dinner a year ago, and I also went...... Well, there's a shark fin dish that tastes good......"
It rained, and the street seemed even more deserted, just the two of them sat on the box next to the car, perhaps because the other party didn't listen to the ground at all, Mu Qingqing ate chestnuts. Say a few words once in a while. Talking about some messy past, such as teasing my sister when I was a child. A boyfriend who used to have changed his mind later, and he was actually framed when he was transferred to Yujiang, and so on, on such a night, the two were back to back, and the words were drowned in the fireworks and drizzle......
It was still ten o'clock to close the stall on time, the two pushed the cart through the streets with dappled lights, and when they returned to the front of the building, Mu Qingqing wanted to bring out the stove in the cart, but tried several times without success, and finally Jiaming brought it into the room, and just raised the fire in this way, Mu Qingqing began to stir-fry in the living room a little rusty, he cut chestnuts next to him, and the Spring Festival Gala was on the TV.
"Whatever...... It's finally been a ......."
The first dish came out of the pot, she was very happy, but the second dish was a little burnt, and when she got to the third dish, she remembered that the chili powder was forgotten in the kitchen and did not take it out, so she hurriedly ran into the kitchen to find it, and for a while she was in a hurry, rushed out of the kitchen, the flames rose in front of her eyes, and the dishes in the pot were thrown up smoothly. I saw the man named Gu Jiaming holding a spatula and stretching out his right hand towards her.
Slightly stunned, then handed over the chili powder in her hand, and after that, she watched the dishes come out of the pot one after another, and the room was full of aroma, although these dishes and ingredients were prepared by her, but due to poor communication, she couldn't do anything next to her.
"No, you used to be a chef when you got sick......
It was hard to believe, but it wasn't long before a sumptuous table of dishes was actually laid out in front of her, at least much more sumptuous than she had originally imagined, and it was only then that she hated why she had eaten so many potato chips and fried chestnuts with sugar just now. Pulling two cans of beer from the fridge, she handed one of them to the man who was going back to cutting chestnuts after brushing the pot, and dragged him to the couch to make an effort.
"Let's eat together."
Finally persuaded him to pick up the chopsticks, Mu Qingqing consciously grasped part of the trick of communication, and when he said soberly, he naturally had to try his luck, but as long as he was pushed to a certain position and held on for a while, he would also do certain things naturally, she estimated that this person was really a cook before, otherwise how could he catch the spatula so easily.
Approaching midnight, the Spring Festival Gala is also coming to an end, and several finale programs are often placed here, Mu Qingqing watched while drinking beer, she had doubts in her heart at this time, drank a few cans of beer, and occasionally asked the man next to her a question with a smile: "You must have been a chef before......
"Or maybe you want to be a chef......"
"I don't know where you're from......"
"It can't be the amnesia caused by a car accident or something, I used to read the newspaper that some veterans even have bullets in their heads, and they don't feel it for decades, just an occasional headache, will you be the same......"
"I didn't ask you where you were from that day, Gu Jiaming...... I thought I'd find a time to look it up for you......"
"Maybe you still have family, parents, relatives, friends, girlfriends or something...... Uh, but look at your stupid appearance, you don't look very handsome, you don't talk well, you can't get a girlfriend...... If you're not convinced, just say a few words if you're not convinced......"
"Uh, what's wrong with you......"
With a little drunkenness, she suddenly found that the body of the man next to her trembled slightly, the blood vessels on his forehead seemed to swell, and he began to sweat.
"What's wrong with you...... Is it an onset of illness...... I'll find painkillers for you......"
"Shhh...... Knock ......" was the sound of his teeth chattering, and at the same time as Mu Qingqing stood up, he also stood up trembling slightly, the can fell to the ground, and his two hands covered his sweaty forehead, and then, Mu Qingqing watched him turn the sofa with difficulty and walk to the bedroom step by step.
"Hey ......"
After screaming a few times, naturally there would be no reaction, Mu Qingqing ran back to the bedroom, rummaged through the medicine box, took the hot water and ran over, only to find that the man had curled up in the corner of the bedroom, holding his forehead with both hands, bearing severe pain, she rushed over to feed the medicine, but the arm was as solid as a rock, she was a trained policewoman, and her strength was not weak among male policemen, but at this time she couldn't move at all......
That night, she didn't sleep well.
The man's sudden pain lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the medicine could not be fed, in fact, whether it was useful or not, it was estimated that it was between the two. As in the dangerous upstairs, after the pain, he went to wash his face, and then went to bed quietly. At this time, the Spring Festival Gala had also ended, and all kinds of things in the living room were in a mess, and Mu Qingqing was not in the mood to clean up at this time, so he simply went to bed.
The effect of alcohol made her fall asleep quickly, but soon after, the drowsiness was shallow, and she seemed to hear some small sounds in a daze, as if she had woken up once, and then fell asleep again, and when she opened her eyes again, she looked at the alarm clock, and it was only half past four in the morning, her mouth was dry, and she struggled in bed for a while, and finally got up.
When I opened the bedroom door, the street lamp reflected the light on the snow, shining in through the window, it was silvery, white and white, the living room was completely tidy, the vegetable bowls and ingredients had been cleaned up, the spatula and even the stove were gone, and the man named Gu Jiaming was sitting by the window, looking out of the window without moving. She crept over and crouched down beside him to see the side face.
"Find a time, I'll take you to the hospital, okay?"
Yesterday there was a power outage, said what branches broke the wires and the like, this morning only coded more than a thousand words, and stopped, ran outside to the gang said that it was a power outage and then cut off all the branches, I was depressed to death, so I ran to the supermarket in the morning, chose the right clothes, the same buy two sets, it is considered to solve the problem of summer clothes, back home, when I opened the door, I found that there was no call, only to walk to the computer, the water dispenser outside suddenly "beeh" sounded, it was really ...... It was too punctual, I was going to sleep again, but God wouldn't let me rest......
Suddenly found out that if you fall into a state of long-term power outage, the otaku will die......
I don't know how to live when there is no power......
