Ye Xinran smiled and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, I'll go down and buy you something to eat." ”

Yang Qun glanced at the criminal policeman with dissatisfaction, and the other party immediately showed an innocent expression, saying that it was hungry because it wanted to scream, and he couldn't help it.

Yang Qun turned to Ye Xinran and smiled awkwardly: "Before I arrived at the bureau in the morning, I was given a task by the Wang Bureau, and I rushed over in a hurry, but I haven't eaten yet." ”

"It's okay, you sit down for a while, and I'll buy it." After speaking, Ye Xinran went straight out.

Yang Qun looked at Ye Xinran's back and smiled: "Brother Lin, your girlfriend is virtuous and beautiful, you really have a vision!" ”

Lin Yi smiled, still quite proud in his heart.

"By the way, what is it that you need us to protect your girlfriend?" Yang Qun wondered.

When it came to business, the smile on Lin Yi's face was put away, and he explained seriously: "Actually, you don't believe it, but it did happen, just last night." Here's the thing......"

Lin Yi roughly explained what happened to Yang Qun, and then asked, "Does it sound a little unbelievable?" ”

Yang Qun nodded and said, "It's indeed a little scary." However, I have a general understanding of your profession, so it's normal to encounter strange facts. Don't worry, we'll do our best to protect your girlfriend. ”

"Okay, thank you."

The two chatted for a while, and Ye Xinran came back, bought a lot of breakfast, and carried it in two large plastic bags. Potstickers, noodles, dumplings, xiao long bao, and more.

Smelling the aroma of breakfast, everyone's stomachs immediately reacted, like frogs, and the sound of "cooing" became a loud one.

Yang Qun hurriedly took it from her hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye is so polite, I'm a little embarrassed." ”

"It's us who bothered you, and we still need to be careful."

While eating breakfast, Yang Qun and the criminal policemen talked to Lin Yi and the others about the deployment to protect them.

"There are two people in the community, and two more people at the upstairs door, who are responsible for the night. I guess there's almost no chance that the monster will show up during the day, but just in case, a colleague and I are in charge of the day, so it should be fine. Yang Qun took a bite of xiaolongbao and said.

"It's still Team Yang's thoughtfulness, I'm sorry for you."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at the time, it was not early. Then he said to Ye Xinran: "My dear, I'll go first." Call me for something. ”

Ye Xinran was a little reluctant, took her hand and asked, "Do you want to bring a few changes of clothes?" ”

"I'll be back tomorrow, no." Lin Yi smiled slightly, patted Ye Xinran's hand, and kissed her on the face again.

The two hugged each other, which attracted the envy of the criminal police who were eating breakfast on the side.

……

Lin Yi arrived in Tianlu City at 12:30 noon, had a casual meal at a restaurant near the station, and immediately stopped a taxi to rush to Xie Lingyun's home in the city.

Xie Lingyun's home is in a high-end community, which is a 180-square-meter affordable house with a total of five bedrooms and two living rooms.

Naturally, the house was bought for him by the Fifth Special Bureau, and it didn't cost a penny. However, when Lin Yi went, the door was locked, and no one answered after pressing the doorbell several times.

He waited at the door of Xie Lingyun's house for about 20 minutes, but he didn't see anyone open the door, but a neighbor who passed by told him that Xie Lingyun's family had gone to his hometown in the countryside.

Lin Yi hurriedly asked if he knew where his hometown was. The neighbor shook his head.

Lin Yi thanked the other party, and then immediately went downstairs, and made a phone call downstairs to explain the situation to Chu Shaofeng.

Lin Yi hung up the phone and went to take a taxi outside the community, and finally came to Xie Lingyun's hometown half an hour later.

A wide asphalt road winds its way and is flanked by tall plane trees, which are in early autumn and whose leaves begin to turn yellow, and when the wind blows, the pieces fall, giving it a bleak view. In addition, there is an endless field of golden wheat, and the heavy ears of wheat are bent down, and when the breeze blows, it is like setting off a golden wave, which is particularly moving.

In the distance, there are rolling green hills, and Xie Lingyun's village is at the foot of the mountain, which is a large village, with two or three hundred households. A cement road leads straight to Xie Lingyun's door.

When the taxi drove towards the cement road, Lin Yi saw a long line on the ridge in the distance, with horns, gongs and women's cries one after another.

They wore black clothes with white bands on their heads, and as they walked, they sprinkled paper money. Others were holding wreaths and paper figures, and the one in the middle carried a large mahogany coffin.

The sound of cries, trumpets, gongs and drums, and firecrackers are intertwined, and it seems infinitely desolate.

Lin Yi's heart moved, and he immediately asked the driver to stop, took two large bills and handed them to him, and said, "No need to look for it." So he got out of the car and hurried from the ridge of the wheat field to the burial procession.

However, Lin Yi did not approach, but hung far behind him. A few people at the back of the team noticed Lin Yi and didn't bother to ask.

The procession walked slowly, and after about ten minutes, it reached the place where the burial was placed. It is halfway up a hill. It is a cemetery, where weeds and plants have been cleared, and various stone monuments have been erected, about forty or fifty.

The team lowered the coffin, lowered the wreaths, and put the firecrackers more frequently, and the family members of the deceased threw themselves on the coffin and hugged the coffin and wept bitterly, trying to prevent the men from burying the coffin. Many relatives persuaded and dragged the family of the deceased, and it was not easy to drag her away, and the men immediately buried the coffin.

At this time, Lin Yi had time to find a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties to ask about the situation: "Excuse me, is this the day of Xie Lingyun's burial?" ”

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned when he heard this, then looked at him with vigilant eyes, and replied, "Yes, which one are you?" ”

"I am a colleague of Xie Lingyun, and I came here from Haikou." Lin Yi replied seriously.

The middle-aged man was relieved and said, "Hello, I'm his neighbor." What is your last name, sir? ”

"My surname is Lin, you can call me Xiaolin." Lin Yi smiled slightly, "I want to know which one Xie Lingyun's parents and wife are." ”

The middle-aged man pointed to a middle-aged woman and an old woman who were still crying while being supported by several people, and said, "That's his wife and his mother." The old man with a gray beard standing next to him is his father, so let's take you there. ”

"I'm sorry for you."

The middle-aged man took Lin Yi to Xie Lingyun's family and said to Xie Lingyun's father: "Brother Xie, he is Lingyun's colleague, named Lin Yi, who came from Hainan and wants to see Lingyun's last side." ”

The old man's face was full of sadness, and he nodded slightly: "It's really troublesome for you to come all the way, I want to say thank you to Xiaoyun." ”

Lin Yi was very sorry when he heard this: "It's us who came late, and I came here on behalf of the unit to apologize to you loyally." ”

After speaking, Lin Yi bowed deeply, and the old man hurriedly supported him and asked, "When did you come, you must be tired, let's go to the house for a cup of tea later." ”

"Fortunately, it's only more than three hours by plane, and I originally found your home in the city, but I heard from my neighbors that you came to your hometown, and then rushed over." Lin Yi explained.

The old man nodded and said with emotion: "I came to my hometown a few days ago, and it is inconvenient to do funerals in the city, not to mention that Xiaoyun always has to be buried in our hometown, so I feel comfortable." Hey, a white-haired person sending a black-haired person is simply a sin in the previous life. ”

At this, tears welled up in the old man's eyes. The old woman next to her and Xie Lingyun's wife were originally crying in a low voice, but when they heard this, the crying started again.

The old man had to pat his wife on the shoulder, wanting to comfort him, but his lips trembled and he couldn't say a word.

The coffin was buried, the stone monument was erected, and the cement was poured. Lin Yi bowed deeply in front of Xie Lingyun's grave.

At this moment, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy wearing a blue and white school uniform rushed up from the bottom of the mountain, shouting as he ran: "Auntie, auntie! Oh no, no! ”

He ran very fast, and after a while, he rushed into the crowd and came to Xie Lingyun's family, panting and sweating all over his face.

Xie Lingyun's mother and wife couldn't help but stop crying and looked at the boy suspiciously. The old man said kindly: "Ah Mo, say something well, don't worry. ”

The young man named Amo gasped for a while, his breath slowly calmed down, swallowed his saliva and said, "Grandpa Xie, Sister Lingjing ran away, still carrying a piece of luggage, saying that she was going to Tianjin Mountain to find Daoist Kong and beg him to take him as an apprentice!" ”

"What?" The old man was shocked, and Xie Lingyun's wife fainted directly, and she was supported by her mother and the old man.

"Xiuhua, you take good care of Yuqin, I'll go over and take a look, this girl is really disobedient, my brother didn't go to see him for the last time, and he even wanted to learn some bullshit, and when I stopped her, I must give her a good training!" As he spoke, the old man turned and went straight down the mountain.

Despite his age, his pace was not sincere, and several young relatives followed.

Lin Yi asked the neighbor: "What is the matter with the spirit of the peace he said?" ”

"Lingjing is Xiao Xie's younger sister, Brother Xie's youngest daughter, when Xiao Xie was still there, every time she went home, Lingjing always yelled for him to teach her spells, and we have heard about this, so she has a good relationship with his brother. This time, his brother went, and Lingjing, the girl, couldn't stand the blow, so she hid at home alone for several days, without eating or drinking. She didn't come to her brother's burial, but she didn't expect to think of learning Taoism this time. The middle-aged man explained.

Hearing the neighbor's words, Lin Yi said, "Why don't we go and have a look." ”

"Good!"

When the two of them went down the mountain and walked along the ridge to the village, they saw a young girl dragging a small luggage on the side of the asphalt road, looking anxiously behind her, behind Xie Lingyun's father with a few relatives striding after her: "Lingjing, you stop for me!" ”

The girl was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, with a good appearance and a slender figure, and a small pink suitcase was dragging behind her. But at this time, except for a few cars passing by by train, there were no other cars on the road at all.

Old Man Xie finally caught up with his granddaughter, and several relatives also stepped forward to snatch the girl's luggage.
