An orphan who was adopted by her adoptive father and adoptive mother at the age of five, the family lived happily ever after until her adoptive mother gave birth to her own son when she was eight years old. Since then, I don't know if it's her psychological effect, the adoptive parents began to care little about her life, and both of them focused on the newborn.

This younger brother of hers hadn't seen her for two years since she came to H City, and she didn't expect to meet tonight.

Because she has been out of school for internship, Ye Mengming lives alone in a rented apartment. There was a new case today, so she came back a little late, and before she reached the door of the apartment, she saw someone under the street lamp.

In the dim light, the boy was carrying a bag with an ugly face, and he also saw Ye Mingming and waved his hand.

"Aren't you a trainee? Why do you leave work so late? Ye Lei glared at her dislikedly, although he didn't like this sister very much, but seeing her a beautiful woman walking on a quiet and unmanned road, it was inevitable that it would be easy to cause trouble, and he felt uncomfortable.

Ye Mingming heard his worries and smiled slightly: "There is a new case, so you came back late, have you waited for a long time?" ”

"Nonsense! Here you go, this is brought by Mom, H City is not far from Baicheng, can't you take the time to go back and see Mom? I haven't seen you for two years, don't you know that my mother misses you very much? ”

Ye Lei handed her the bag angrily, put his hands in his pockets, and looked like a ruffian: "The things are here, I'm leaving." ”

"It's so late, where are you going? Mom, don't worry, you're a junior high school student coming to H City, I don't have to worry about letting you wander around alone, go up with me. ”

Ye Lei looked at her with disgust, avoided her outstretched hand with an ugly face, and said disdainfully: "I'm not small, don't worry about you, besides, what are you pretending to be with me?" If it weren't for the fact that I was born, you would still be the pearl in your palm now, don't say you didn't think so! Actually, you hate me in your heart, don't you? So the two of us made it clear that we are not related by blood, and it is better to meet like strangers! ”

After speaking, Ye Lei didn't look at her anymore and left by himself.

And Ye Mingming stood in place for a long time before returning to the apartment.

As a result, when she arrived at the door, before she could take out the key, her mobile phone rang.

"Ye Mingming, right? I, Li Jian, you should have arrived home so late, right? I'm sorry, but you have to do it again, there is something wrong with me that requires your cooperation. ”

Ye Mingming accepted the phone, turned around and went downstairs again.

――

Li Jian pointed to the person in the video and asked, "Is this your brother?" ”

There are always drunk and troublesome people on the bar street, so every house is equipped with a camera, and the video that Li Jianzhi pointed to is a person passing by some time before the deceased was found.

Of course it was Ye Lei, if he hadn't seen him today, Ye Mingming wouldn't have been so sure, and when he saw him just now, he was wearing this dress.

"How does Team Li know that he is my brother?" Ye Mingming frowned slightly.

Li Jian smiled: "There are only two trainees this time, and I will still take you, so of course you have to read all the information." ”

Ye Mingming nodded: "He's my younger brother, I saw him just now, but I don't know where I'm going now, do you need me to contact him?" ”

"That's for the best." Li Jian pointed to the video, "It is very likely that he saw the murderer from his angle, whether he has it or not, he has to protect it first." ”

However, the phone did not get through.

Ye Mingming listened to the artificial sound on the other side that prompted the shutdown, and she was inexplicably a little panicked, Li Jian's words kept ringing in her ears, "It is very likely that I saw the murderer", "Protect it first", if he really saw the murderer, the police force knew to protect him, then the murderer was

Ye Mingming didn't dare to think about it.

Just now, it would have been nice to take him to the apartment no matter what he said just now, but now the mobile phone is turned off, H City is so big, where do you want her to find someone?

Ye Mengming ran to find Li Jian, "Team Li, his mobile phone is turned off, he is only fourteen years old, it's so late"

Li Jian comforted her not to think about it first, and then ran to transfer people, if there is really danger, it means that this person has seen the appearance of the murderer and must find it immediately.

Ye Mingming was not allowed to go out, but stayed at the police station and waited. More than half an hour has passed, and there is still no news, she took out her mobile phone, and her fingertips trembled slightly and dialed, should she contact her parents at this time? What if nothing happened, but it was simply shut down? Since he didn't want to live with her, maybe his parents knew where he lived?

But her hands were weak and weak, and she couldn't hit the dial.

At the same time, the phone rang, and it was a number that I had never seen.

"Hello?" Ye Mingming's voice was soft and weak.

The next second, she got up trembling and rushed out.

"Miss Ye, I'm Shao Qi." The other end of the phone said, "Your brother is here." ”

――

An hour or so ago, Shao Qi was sitting in the red house, thinking about something, and then he heard the doorbell ringing downstairs.

Opening the door, the stranger, he was a little surprised: "May I ask who you are?" ”

"Hello, my name is Ye Lei, I am Ye Mengming's younger brother, I just came here, I don't want to live in Ye Mengmeng, and I have no place to live, my brother-in-law said I can live here with you."

Ye Lei's brother-in-law Shao Qi raised his eyebrows, the surname Si has no contact with his fiancée, but what does it mean to contact his fiancée's family?

Sideways to let him in, without missing the fleeting surprise on Ye Lei's face, Shao Qi smiled gently: "I also just moved in, and this villa has not been renovated yet." ”

Fortunately, I bought more water at dinner in the evening, and Shao Qi handed over a bottle, "I'm slacking, although there is no sofa, but the ground is still very clean." With that, he sat down on the floor.

Ye Lei's cheeks twitched, and he also sat down, looking left and right: "Brother, your house is really clean and there is nothing, there should be no bed, right?" So where do I stay at night? ”

This is indeed a problem, thinking that the door of the red house on the second floor has not been closed, Shao Qi got up and smiled: "You sit down for a while, I still have something to do." ”

After closing the door, Shao Qi looked down at Ye Lei, who was fiddling with his mobile phone on the first floor, and dialed Si Bai's phone.

"I saw Ye Lei, what do you mean? I don't even have a bed here, why don't you let him go to live with you? Wait, you can't mean it, right? "The surname has always been purposeful, and it is impossible for people to live here for no reason.

"I heard that he doesn't have a good relationship with Ye Mingming." A peaceful voice came from the other end.

Shao Qi raised his eyebrows, it turned out that he wanted to take the opportunity to punish him, but he should still tell Ye Mingming about this matter, so he hung up the phone and called Ye Mingming again.
