Chapter 157: A New Clue to the Hanging Rope
Seeing each other for the better, now that Xia Ren has finally returned, it can be clearly seen that Qin Yun is in a good mood, making a lot of good dishes and filling the coffee table.
It's just that the atmosphere at the dinner table is a little weird.
Xia Ren buried his head in eating.
Xiuxiu absentmindedly picked up the vegetables, a little wandering, and soon sandwiched up the plate of scrambled eggs with green peppers in front of her.
Qin Yun fed Lily with chopsticks while looking at Liang Wan from time to time.
Although she didn't know what the reason was, she could clearly feel that the other party seemed to be ...... Fear Lily.
What the hell is going on these days?
Although Qin Yun was puzzled, she didn't ask at the dinner table, and when it was quiet in the dead of night, Xia Ren would naturally tell her.
In such an atmosphere, no one took the initiative to chat, and the meal was finished quickly, Liang Wan did not have the proficiency of Liu Xiuxiu, plus she needed to report Xu Qiang's matter to the Foundation, so she left quickly.
There must be so many dishes that a few people can't eat, but with Lily here, it's not a problem, but Qin Yun is worried that she is not paying attention, Lily swallowed two more plates, this habit, she probably can't change it for a while.
"Next time I go shopping, I'll have to buy a few more sets of cutlery."
Qin Yun was cleaning up while thinking about this little trouble.
She and Lily were at home for the past two days, and sometimes the gap between knitting sweaters would think, what would happen if Xia Ren hadn't met her and brought her home?
Often, just thinking about it can enrich a boring morning or afternoon.
Xia Ren probably doesn't need a woman.
He can cook, and it's quite delicious, Qin Yun has eaten it a few times, and he is also very keen on it, every time he cooks, Qin Yun can always see a different relaxed look on his face.
Xia Ren didn't seem to be lonely, at least Qin Yun hadn't seen him lonely.
Even at home, he doesn't talk much, and when the two of them stay in the living room at the same time, he can always have something to do and not disturb himself.
Xia Ren is also very good at housework.
This Qin Yun has not seen it with her own eyes, she guessed, when she first entered this house, everything was cleaned up in an orderly manner, and when she threw away the cabinet full of women's clothes, it was so clean that it didn't look like a man's room living alone.
So, I'm probably dispensable.
And whenever she came up with this idea, Xia Ren's side face would always appear in front of her inadvertently.
The sun was not too good that day, in the alternating season of summer and autumn, hot and cold, Xia Ren sat on the sofa, Qin Yun was in the position of the balcony, wondering why there was a bird cage here.
This doubt, like the brand-new dog basin by the door of the study, had been in her mind for many days, and when she hesitated whether to ask or not, her eyes naturally fell on the side of his face.
His gaze tilted about thirty degrees to the upper left, his brow slightly down, and his lower lip slightly pursed. Qin Yun knew that he was thinking about things.
She loved to look at him, no matter what the expression, slowly, until she forgot what she had just questioned.
Just when she was stunned, Xia Ren turned his head, gestured his hand in the air, and suddenly asked a whimsical question:
"You say, how much does it cost to get an ordinary person on the moon?"
Qin Yun's answer at the time was: "No, it's not a matter of money, it's been decades since humans stopped landing on the moon." ”
On a very ordinary morning, coupled with a stupid question, Qin Yun didn't know why she remembered this scene so clearly, that she felt it every time she thought about it...... Happiness.
Probably with their identity, the rarest thing is this kind of ordinary.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Qin Yun walked out of the kitchen, and when Lily had nothing to do, she would consciously turn into a ball and roll around on the floor, Xia Ren returned to the study, and there was a continuous sound of the keyboard crackling inside.
This house is actually not big, and many of the furniture is old, some of which are outdated, and the transportation is not very convenient. Qin Yun went back to her former home a few days ago, and it was almost renovated. Because of the money given, everything is in accordance with high standards, simple, elegant, lighting, every room is bright, and when you buy all the furniture again, the look and feel must be much better than this old house.
During dinner tonight, she hesitated to tell Xia Ren to move over there, but now that she thinks about it, fortunately she didn't mention it.
That's good.
Qin Yun walked to the sofa and sat down, his palm slowly brushing inch by inch over Xia Ren's sleeping place, as if he could feel his body temperature.
She tried to imitate the posture that Xia Ren had always been lying down, and sat up again, and suddenly found that when she slept in this place, she could see the bedroom at first glance, and the door was also unobstructed, and her head was facing the balcony, and if someone slipped in, she could hear the movement first.
Qin Yun felt a warm current in her heart.
She was immersed in her own emotion, it was impossible to ask Xia Ren why he was lying here, if she did, she would know that Xia Ren was just used to lying down, and there was no other place to lie down.
Therefore, it is not good for people to be too idle, otherwise it is easy to think crankily and self-attack.
……
……
Early the next morning, Xia Ren rubbed his swollen head, sat up from the sofa and began to wash.
Yesterday, he fought until three or four o'clock in the morning, so that Qin Yun didn't sleep until that point.
The mirror in the toilet has long been replaced with a new one, Xia Ren stood in front of the mirror, looking at his handsome face, although he was tired, but there were no dark circles under his eyes, and he couldn't help but stroke the hair in front of his forehead, but fortunately, the hairline was also firm.
"Has Huang Qiuyuan been upstairs in the past few days?"
Xia Ren washed his face, brushed his teeth, picked up Lily, grabbed her little hands and rubbed them around, the fleshy soft touch was very decompressing.
"Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen him in a long time."
Qin Yun held a large bowl in his hand and said while beating eggs.
Her long hair is coiled at the back, she wears a white autumn coat and blue jeans underneath, but her simple dress perfectly modifies her slender figure, even if she wears an apron in front of her, you can see the curve of her waist.
Cao Cao deserves to be the fastest man in the world, and he arrives as soon as he says it.
Before the eggs in Qin Yun's bowl were stirred evenly, Huang Qiuyuan had already pushed the door in.
"Brother Xia has worked hard."
He said as soon as he entered.
"It's tiring."
Xia Ren speculated that he should know about being a teacher at Dawn Middle School, but he wasn't sure how many details he knew.
"The ......"
Xia Ren hesitated.
"Huh?"
Huang Qiuyuan waved his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Xia, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, as long as I can help, you don't have to be polite." ”
Xia Ren showed a smile on his face, and he was really no longer polite, and said: "You said that I am also quite tired, you see that you have eaten so many meals at my house, should you pay a few hundred meals occasionally?" ”
"Uh......" Huang Qiuyuan.
Qin Yun was still beating eggs on the side, ignoring the awkward atmosphere in front of her.
He would say that, and naturally he had a point.
Xia Ren has long been angry with Huang Qiuyuan every time he comes empty-handed, Liu Xiuxiu is okay, at least she looks eye-catching, she can be bullied if she has nothing to do, she eats it, and she doesn't lack that pair of chopsticks, but it's too much for you to be a big man, and my Qin Yun is not a servant, and cooking is also very hard.
"If you don't say it, I really forgot about this stubble."
Huang Qiuyuan didn't show any embarrassment on his face, and heartily took out his wallet, and took out a small stack of 1,000 yuan coins from it, and estimated that there were at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
He was about to pull out one, but Xia Ren's eyes were quick and he said, "Look how embarrassing this is." He stretched out his arm and squeezed it in his hand.
Huang Qiuyuan was stunned, and his wallet was empty.
Qin Yun, who was beating eggs on the side, didn't change his expression until this moment, turned his head and didn't look at it.
Xia Ren thought that he would at least be a little angry, but Huang Qiuyuan deserved to be Huang Qiuyuan, just like the ice in a thermos cup, sometimes outsiders really couldn't understand him.
"Is Brother Xia short of money? I still have a lot to lend you. ”
His expression was sincere, and his tone did not seem to be fake.
Xia Ren's eyes were slightly Ling, his face was unmoved, and he thought that he had met an opponent.
Fortunately, Liang Wan and Liu Xiuxiu also pushed the door in, and everyone changed the topic.
The temptation against Huang Qiuyuan was very unsuccessful, but he still talked and laughed, and he couldn't see the slightest displeasure.
It is a very strange phenomenon, as if it is customary, everyone eats together at Xia Ren's house, the people from the police inspector, and the people from the arbitration court on the surface sit and eat together, the chaos within the Supreme Alliance government in recent years, the relationship between the two parties is tense, and they must know each other, but they never talk about it, and follow some kind of naturally formed and obscure rules.
Xia Ren feels that this is very bad, although it is stable at present, but maybe one day, his house will explode inexplicably.
After eating, Huang Qiuyuan went to work, Liu Xiuxiu took out her mobile phone and handed it to Xia Ren, saying, "The victim of the hanging rope appeared again last night. ”
"Really?"
Xia Ren's expression was obviously excited, it was a thousand achievement points and an ancient dream fragment, I thought I didn't have a chance yesterday, but I didn't expect happiness to come so quickly.
"Where did this incident take place?"
"In an agency that claims to be a professional treatment for anorexia, the victim is a client, but this time the situation is a bit special......"
There is no need for Liu Xiuxiu to continue, Xia Ren already knows what is special.
There was a picture of the deceased on the phone, a thin girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a very peaceful expression on her face, as if she had fallen asleep, except for the familiar strangulation marks on her neck, her limbs were full of bruises, most of which were marks of whipping.
Where is this a serious institution for treating anorexia?
