She nodded.

He was surprised in his heart, and at the same time smiled, his thick is a master of programming, this thing is a fantasy in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is just a matter of finger tapping for her.

"Tell me the number, I'll send someone to check it out right away."

She called out a string of numbers, and he jotted them down and stepped aside to call.

The cold wind on the roof of the building under the sunset was raging, Qiu Yinong pulled the scarf around his neck, took the cup in the palm of his hand from the notebook sideways, and sipped the fragrant flower tea in the cup while squinting at the last bit of sunset that sank.

The twilight is getting thicker, and a faint crescent moon is faintly appearing.

After Ning Juexi finished calling, he saw that most of her little face was buried in a scarf, so he took off the coat on her body and took her whole person into his arms: "It's cold outside, let's go inside." ”

"Computer." Before leaving, she looked at the notebook that lit up on the table.

He reached for his notebook and carried her down the attic into the warm guest room, where she took off his coat and took it to the hanger to hang on.

Ning Juexi didn't see movement for a long time, and when she raised her eyes, she saw her petite shadow standing in front of the hanger, looking down and not knowing what she was thinking, as if she was out of her body.

The body was pulled into a warm embrace, his fingertips rubbed her cheeks, and his voice was low: "Still worried about your sister?" ”

She paused for a moment, the emotion between her eyebrows and eyes was not big, but she nodded slightly: "Hua'er and I are twins, but she has no defense against people outside and the world, I can't figure out who deceived her!" What is the purpose? Want money? Why not call and ask for a ransom? If not for money, then for what? I really can't figure it out. ”

"I've already sent someone to investigate that number, all that's left is to wait for news." He glanced at her, his eyes stopped on a little petal at the corner of her lips, the Adam's apple slid up and down, and his deep voice became hoarse: "In addition, you tell me a few objects you suspect, and I will find someone to investigate them one by one to see if there are any breakthroughs and progress." ”

Object of suspicion......

Qiu Yi thought secretly, and said slowly: "The most likely are three people, An Qian, Bo Yanxi, and ......" She didn't continue.

He asked, "Who else?" ”

She glanced at him and said word by word: "There are also Qin Shangshang." ”

His voice darkened: "Thick." ”

She chuckled lightly, and her tone became lighter: "Don't believe it? ”

He looked at her plain face, red and swollen eyes, and bloodless lips, paused, and said unhurriedly, "As long as you say it, I will believe it." ”

She looked at him and smiled leisurely: "Then let your people investigate these three people first." ”

"Okay." There was darkness in his bottomless eyes, and he kissed her on the forehead, then turned to pick up his phone and go to the window to make a call.

His back was still so tall and dignified, his steps were elegant and calm, and she watched silently, the two hands hanging by her side became tighter and tighter.

His phone call seemed to be extraordinarily long, she came out of the shower, he was still whispering in front of the window, she walked over and he just finished calling, turned around and lifted his thin lips: "That phone number was found out, it was a female college student, the other party said that four days ago on the street, a pair of men and women asked her to borrow a mobile phone to make a call, saying that the mobile phone was stolen, she didn't care at the time, so she borrowed it." The time is about a minute or so as you say. Regarding the appearance, the female college student said that it was just a hurried side, and she couldn't remember it clearly. ”

Qiu Yinong accepted it calmly, as she expected, since there was a careful plan, it was naturally impossible to leave any clues.

She stuffed him with a brand-new nightgown that Bo Yanxi had not worn from the cloakroom, and whispered softly: "Go take a shower and prepare to rest, you haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night, and your body will be unbearable if you continue like this." ”

He looked at the silence between her eyebrows and eyes, listening to her concerned tone everywhere, he knew that her mood at this time must be overturned, and he was ready to comfort her, but it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be her like this, she doesn't need to hide it in front of him.

It seems that she has returned to the autumn mood she used to have, the autumn mood with heavy armor on her back, the more monstrous the waves appear, the calmer as water.

"Tell me if you're uncomfortable."

She was stunned for a moment before she reacted and smiled leisurely: "I'm not uncomfortable, I just feel tired, you go take a bath, I'll wait for you to sleep together." ”

The wrinkles in his eyebrows deepened, and he answered, grabbed his nightgown, and turned to go into the bathroom.

said that he would wait for him, Ning Juexi came out of the shower, the table lamp in the bedroom was softly spread on the bed, and the person with his back to him on the bed breathed regularly, and he actually looked asleep.

He pulled open the quilt and lay down, kissed her white and small ear, she didn't move, seemed to be sleeping deeply.

Turning off the lamp, he took her into his arms in the dark, she was like a gentle little rabbit meekly curled up in his arms, sleeping deep and fragrant, the only difference was her two hands, always clenched tightly, not stretched out all night, as if she had been in a defensive state.

This night, autumn is indeed a good dream, swallowed sleeping pills before going to bed, how can it not be a dream.

Inevitably, there was still a nightmare in the morning, and she woke up in a cold sweat, as if she heard a low voice, squinting her eyes to find the source of the sound, and he stood in front of the window, in front of which was a foot-wide curtain, and the sunlight slipped in through the crack in the curtain, like a ray of light in the darkness.

Ning Juexi looked back and saw her sitting on the bed with wide eyes and looking at him, so he couldn't help but walk over and sit on the edge of the bed, and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead with her fingertips: "Have you had a nightmare?" ”

"Any news?" She tugged at the sleeve of his dressing gown as if grasping at a straw.

"Nope." His faint breath spat on her face: "Thick, it's only been one night, no matter how powerful a person is, he has to peel off the cocoon in the face of things without clues and clues, investigate slowly, give me some time, huh?" ”

Give him some time, who will give the painting some time, the longer it drags on, the greater the danger of the painting, Qiu Yinong can't talk to him about this, what can he do, can't she just wait for news here?

Nothing can be done, nothing can be found.

To blame, I can only blame her for being useless, I can only blame her sister for being incompetent, I lost the painting when I was ten years old, and I found it at the age of twenty-six, but only a year later, I lost my sister again.

This time is different from the last time, that time there was Bo Yanxi's patron saint, this time the painting ...... Maybe there will be more luck and less luck......

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, she secretly twisted her thighs, telling herself that she couldn't be discouraged, couldn't be discouraged, and couldn't mess with herself.

Until anything comes to fruition, no news is good news.

After breakfast, Qiu Yinong looked at the blue sky outside the window and said, "I want to go and see my mother." ”

"I'll be with you." He took her scarf, wrapped her tightly in a circle, and drove to the cemetery himself.

They had been to that place once, and that time they had their own hearts, and she hadn't even let him actually go to worship, but this time it was different, he was very well prepared, and came out of the back compartment with a storage box.

"What's inside?" Qiu Yinong took the flowers he bought on the road and looked at the gray storage box in his hand in amazement.

"Something to worship." He looked at her deeply, grabbed her waist through the layers of tombstones, and accurately came to Qin Yingying's tombstone.

The scene in front of me was somewhat surprising, two middle-aged men in their forties wearing work gloves were busy behind the tombstone, and the clothes of two people were resting on the side, which looked like work clothes.

Qiu Yinong trembled and ran forward, and his voice changed: "What are you doing?!! ”

The two staff members were stunned for a moment, wiped the sweat on their faces and looked at the autumn mood, their hands did not stop, and they continued to smear the cement: "Someone sneaked in yesterday and almost dug this grave, fortunately there are security patrols in the park, otherwise this grave will definitely not be like this today." ”

Plane...... Grave?

Ning Juexi's face was gloomy, revealing gloom and coldness: "Who did it?" ”

The two staff members were stunned by Ning Juexi, and one of the older ones swallowed his saliva and said, "No, I don't know, we were ordered to come over and repair the grave, and you can ask the head of the garden for the rest." ”

Ning Juexi looked at Qiu Yinong, who stared at the cement gap that had cracked a corner, and said in a trembling voice: "How about the destruction?" Is there anything wrong with the ashes? ”

"I heard that it was found in time last night, there is no loss, the urn is fine, you are family members, right?" The older staff said.

Ning Juexi held Qiu Yi's weak body and nodded lightly.

Seeing that there was nothing to say, the two staff members continued to work, and in a short time they filled in the corner, except that the color of the undried cement was different from the old one.

After arranging the flowers, Qiu Yinong knelt down, untied the scarf around his neck and slowly wiped the ashes on the tombstone, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Mom, it's me who didn't protect you well, and let people come over to disturb your rest." ”

Next to him, Ning Juexi took incense candles, offerings, and paper money from the storage box and put them out one by one.

Although his posture is not skillful, he is full of sincerity and does it well.

There was no wind today, he quickly lit the paper money with a lighter, and knelt down beside Qiu Yinong, his thin lips squirmed and he didn't know what he was talking about.

When the paper money was almost burned, he reached out and stroked her cheek: "Let's go to the director to understand the situation and see what happened last night." ”

"Go ahead, I want to be alone with my mother." She shook her head slightly, did not get up, and looked at the picture of her mother on the tombstone.

He looked at her quietly: "I'll come when I go, don't run around, just wait for me here." ”

The man's figure gradually left, her straight kneeling posture slowly fell, and her hands on the ground tightened little by little.

Who is it, who will be vicious enough to harass my mother's rest, a while ago, I blackened my mother on the Internet, attracting a large number of netizens to abuse, and this time it was a ...... Grave!

I don't dare to think about these two words, let alone imagine the consequences.

A gust of wind rose, and the paper money burned to ashes flew, and she reflexively closed her eyes, and then opened a boy who walked by her, about the same age as her, dressed very fashionably, but the expression on his face was sad, holding a bright azalea in his hand.

There can be no azaleas in this season, and Autumn couldn't help but stand up, and automatically gave the boy a way, thinking that the boy was passing to other tombstones, but he didn't expect the boy to stop in front of his mother's tombstone, first put the azaleas in front of the monument, and then knelt down and began to cry.

Pumping, crying extremely sadly.

Qiu Yinong was a little stunned by this scene, and stepped forward to remind: "This gentleman, do you recognize the wrong person, this is my mother's tomb." ”

The boy turned his head, and when he looked closely, he realized that there were tears on his face, but the grief on his face was clearly deliberately squeezed out, and it was not false.

"I'm not wrong, isn't this Qin Yingying's tomb? Don't bother me to cry graves. After the boy finished speaking, he said to the person next to him: "Come, keep shooting, it's strange cold here, let's eat hot pot in a while." ”

Only then did Qiu Yinong notice that there was a boy with a small video camera next to him, intently recording the whole process.

A word suddenly popped up in my mind: full-time grave weeping.

It has been reported on the Internet that in real life, there is such a group of people who are professional grave weepers, that is, some people can't come back in other places or abroad, so they ask these full-time grave weepers to come over, and the grave weepers will take videos and send them to customers to get the corresponding remuneration.

Qiu Yinong had only heard about it on the Internet or TV before, this was the first time she had seen the real thing, and it happened to her mother, so she immediately stepped forward and grabbed the boy who was about to throw himself into the crying grave: "You are not needed here, who sent you here, get out!" ”

The boy who was crying for the grave stopped doing it, glared and said, "Hey, you are really a person, we are collecting money from people and eliminating disasters for others, I have to cry for this grave, otherwise I won't get the money." ”

The other boy in the camera leaned into the ear of the boy who was crying and said something, and the boy who was crying in the grave got up, and didn't care about the unreasonableness of the autumn, patted his ass and prepared to leave.

Qiu Yinong stepped forward to block their way: "Who sent you?" ”

The camera boy looked at the crying grave boy, and the crying grave boy stiffened his neck and said, "This is the customer's secret, how can I tell you casually." ”

Qiu Yinong changed his breath: "Okay, since you are opening the door to do business, do you have a business card?" Next time I have a job to ask you to pick up? ”

"Pick up, pick up, who doesn't make money if you have money?" The weeping boy immediately smiled all over his face, and diligently handed over a business card neatly.

After seeing it, Autumn Yinong stuffed it into his coat pocket and returned to the tombstone.

This time she carefully looked around the tombstone, remembering that when she came, she saw traces of people worshiping in the corner of the tombstone, presumably it was the masterpiece of this grave weeper, as for the person behind it, she wanted to check.

The principal's office is still in the old place, after Qiu Yinong found it, Ning Juexi was talking to the principal, she walked in and heard the principal nodding and saying: "It's really none of our business, Mr. Ning, we didn't catch the grave digger last night, fortunately, the security guard found it in time, and the grave was not damaged, so can this matter be forgotten?" I promise that the security measures will be stricter in the future, and this will not happen again, do you think it will work? ”

Ning Juexi was about to say something, but Qiu Yinong stepped forward and interjected: "Uncle Qin." ”

"Inno." Director Qin looked at Qiu Yinong in surprise: "You are so big in this blink of an eye, and you remember that when your mother died, you were only as high as my waist." ”

Qiu Yinong lowered his head and smiled faintly: "Yes, Uncle Qin is still the same as he remembered when he was a child, and he hasn't changed at all." ”

"I'm old, I have a lot of wrinkles on my face, so don't lie to me." Yuan Chang Qin laughed, and then pointed at Ning Juexi and said, "I saw that the news said that you ......."

"Uncle Qin, what happened to my mother's tomb?" Autumn interrupted.

Yuan Chang Qin repeated what he had just said to Ning Juexi, and sighed at the end: "Yi Nong, this matter is wrong with our garden, but you see ......"

"I know, Uncle Qin, I know that you have been the head of the garden here all your life, and you have always been cautious in doing things." Qiu Yinong affirmed: "I am also relieved to put my mother's ashes here, but please bother more in the future, if there is any situation, can you tell me in time." ”

"Okay, you tell me the phone number, I'll write it down." Qin Yuan stuffed paper and pen for autumn.

Ning Juexi didn't say anything when he looked at it on the side, so he went out to make a phone call.

In the office, after Qiu Yinong exchanged numbers with Director Qin, he said while twisting the pen cap: "Uncle Qin, you are my grandfather's distant nephew and your own family, so can you please tell me the truth, who paid my mother's tomb rent at once for a hundred years?" ”

Yuan Chang Qin is a person with a hearty personality, and after hearing this, his eyes dodged: "It's your grandfather." ”

"That's not right." Qiu Yinong shook his head affirmatively: "I remember once my grandfather said that he leaked his mouth, saying that when he asked people to come over to pay the money, someone had already paid it, and it was a hundred years. ”

"Then you should ask your grandfather."

"Uncle Qin." Qiu Yinong accentuated his tone: "Grandpa is already an ancient person, and he is buried in the Qin family's old mansion, you just don't want to talk about it." ”

"Kid." Qin Yuan let out a long sigh, and was embarrassed: "It's good that you don't know some things, so why bother to get to the bottom of it." ”

She lowered her head, and after a long time, chuckled, "I see. ”

……

Ning Juexi put down his mobile phone, a figure walked by him, he took a long step, stepped forward and grabbed her hand: "Yin Shao said that his people have checked An Qian, and so far they have not found anything suspicious about her, his people will continue to track and investigate An Qian, and if there is anything abnormal, he will tell me immediately." ”

The breeze blew through the ends of her hair, and she looked at him motionlessly, "What about the other two?" ”

"Bo Yanxi has very few opportunities to go out, and it is almost not difficult to investigate, as for the Qin businessman you mentioned, he is currently lying in the hospital. I sent someone to investigate all of her previous whereabouts. ”

She listened quietly, and then said to him lightly: "Let's go, go back to Qingcheng." ”

The two went back to the villa to get some belongings, her bag was also in the villa room, the two got down from above, and the housekeeper said to Qiu Yinong with a happy face: "Miss Qiu, Mr. Ning, good news, Mrs. called and said that she was going to play outside for ten days and half a month, let us not worry." ”

"When?"

"About forty minutes ago, before you came back."

"Where's the call?" Qiu Yinong walked downstairs quickly, looking nervously: "Study?" ”

"Yes." The housekeeper nodded and said happily: "Mrs. is very happy on the phone, she said that she is out to relax, maybe ten days and a half month." It turned out that it was not a kidnapper, but now it's okay, my wife is safe. It must be Mr. Bo who has a spirit in heaven to bless her, and it must be Mr. Bo who is reluctant to give up his wife. ”

Ning Juexi and Qiu Yinong glanced at each other, and said to the housekeeper, "You didn't find anything abnormal?" ”

"Not really." The housekeeper thought carefully for a long time, "Mrs., I understand, she is a person who can't hide things, if she is really unhappy, she can't pretend, I have checked the safe used to store cash in Mr. Bo's study, which is missing tens of thousands of dollars, which means that Mrs. has money on her body and will not suffer, she may just hide and play for a few days, and come back when she has had enough." ”

Ning Juexi didn't say anything more.

Qiu Yinong was silent, she always felt that this matter was full of unpredictable weirdness, and her heart did not let go, but hung higher.

Even if Hua'er is playful, it is impossible to hide and play behind her back, because the New Year will be more than a week away, she has promised Hua'er to celebrate the New Year together, and Hua'er also said that she will go shopping together to buy new clothes for the New Year, how can she suddenly run out to play, and she didn't even say hello to her.

This is not normal.

At the same time, the housekeeper is also right, if the painting is unhappy, it is forced to say it, it will definitely be full of flaws, and the housekeeper will definitely hear it after serving the painting for all these years.

What went wrong?

Unable to figure it out, with a splitting headache, she hugged her forehead, her body shook, and was firmly caught by the man next to her, and her big hand pressed on her shoulder: "Nong, don't worry, what the housekeeper said has some truth, at least your sister is very happy now, there is no danger, as for her whereabouts, I will let people hurry up to investigate." ”

It can only be like this, and I can only hope for him, Qiu Yinong hummed softly.

In the car, she closed her eyes and rested, had nightmares repeatedly, and then opened her eyes and looked at the highway ahead, Ning Juexi had been observing her, and couldn't help holding her hand in the palm of her hand, the cold touch made him frown: "Nong, you can't do this anymore." ”

"I know." She smiled at him, "Don't worry, the painting is safe for the time being, I won't worry." I went to see my mom like this, remembered the past, and I slept and was fine. With that, she pressed his hand back to the steering wheel: "Concentrate on driving." ”

"It just so happens that I'm a little tired from driving, so you can chat with me and tell me about your childhood."

She frowned and said with a soft smile: "Actually, when I was a child, the activity space was quite boring, basically there is nothing to say, but I always remember my mother's craft, she will make all kinds of pastries during the New Year's holidays, I especially like to eat the rice balls she makes, with and without filling." My mom is very creative and sometimes cooks a lot of colored rice balls, which is very appetizing. ”

He looked at her with a soft smile in his eyes: "If you like to eat rice balls, I'll make them for you when you go back." ”

"Then you have to make more, I especially like to eat." She readily agreed, and bowed her head into the memory, a faint layer of wetness in the corners of her eyes.

"No problem." He looked at her and smiled, and the gloom in his heart dispelled a lot.
