Not far from Longhua Park, the venue is designed by Americans, and the operators are also Americans, trying to create a relaxed atmosphere, and people like John Fu who have eaten foreign ink have always been frequent visitors here. He gave his daughter a few demonstrations, but when he turned around, he saw his daughter leaning on Xu Mei's arms, and Fu Yingying, who was still lively and cute just now, had a pale face and trembling lips, as if she had seen something terrible.

"Yingying, what's wrong?"

Fu John asked.

Yingying bit her lip: "It's okay, I'm fine." ”

said it was fine, but her nervous and scared look, how could she prove that she was fine.

Xu Mei grabbed Fu Yingying's arm, reached out to measure her pulse, and then took off the brooch and pricked Fu Yingying's fingertips with the pointed part.

John Fu said unhappily: "Ah Mei, I am a Western doctor, you are the wife of a Western doctor, and you make it very difficult for me to do this." ”

Xu Mei replied: "I am your wife and Yingying's mother at the same time, I am also studying medicine, I think Chinese and Western medicine can learn from each other, this is the stadium, not the hospital, I just need to ensure that my daughter is free from tension and fear." When she spoke, her hand didn't stop, and a little blood was squeezed out of her stepdaughter's fingertips, Fu Yingying's whole body relaxed a little, and she no longer trembled, but her face was still not good. Leaning on Xu Mei tightly, she whispered, "Mom, I'm afraid I won't be able to practice anymore, let's go home." ”

Fu John's face was very ugly, and he couldn't argue with his wife, so he pointed the finger at his daughter: "You kid is always so willful, your mother and I put down our heavy work to practice with you, but you said you wanted to go back, and you disrespected us too much." ”

"Okay, the child is not feeling well, do you still want to blow the wind here, let's go, let's go back." Xu Mei persuaded him.

On the way back, Fu Yingying bit her lip and didn't say a word.

Xu Mei knew that she had something in her heart, so she didn't force it, she didn't ask questions, she just silently held her hand along the way.

At good night, Fu Yingying said that she was not feeling well and did not come downstairs to eat. John Fu said unhappily: "What happened to this child? said that he had finished practicing, but he didn't wait for her to play, just like seeing a ghost, and asked her why she didn't say it, which made the adults worry. ”

Xu Mei sighed and said, "It's July, and it's the time when the ghosts came out to wander the world, maybe she really saw the ghosts on the court?" ”

"What are you talking about!" Fu John put down the fork in his hand heavily, "Amei, you are also medically educated and have taken anatomy classes, how can you still believe in those ghosts and gods, we are engaged in the cause of science, and our daughter must first have a scientific spirit." ”

"I just mentioned it casually, the security officer of our police station said......"

Before she could finish speaking, John Fu stared into her eyes and asked, "How could that Officer An think of investigating the old case?" You can't be the one who taught you, right? ”

Xu Mei's face was full of surprise: "Who is this person, it is the nephew of our director, do you think I have such a big face to work as a police officer?" John, you think too highly of me. ”

Fu John smiled awkwardly: "I just asked casually." ”

"He is a young talent, he likes to investigate cases, and if there are no new cases recently, he will take old cases to see, no big deal. But you, it seems that you've been a little restless lately. ”

"What do you mean?" Fu John looked nervous and immediately asked rhetorically.

Xu Mei sighed secretly in her heart, but her face was still faint: "I mean, have you been working too hard lately, you are restless, and sometimes you have to combine work and rest, so it is better to take a vacation." As she spoke, she reached out and pressed the back of her husband's hand as a sign of comfort.

Then the servant came with a letter and said, "Sir, the postman has brought a letter in the afternoon." ”

Fu John took it, opened it and slapped it on the table after a few glances, and said angrily: "It's really a mess, what kind of relative is it, he is cheeky and wants to come." ”

Xu Mei took the letter and read it: "Ah, it turned out to be a relative of the Qin family." ”

"A so-called cousin, how can you be so embarrassed to write this letter cheekily?"

Mr. Fu was angry.

"She is also kind-hearted, she wants to worship Su'e, and after all, she is from Yingying's grandmother's house, you have to look at Yingying's face."

Xu Mei persuaded softly.

"Where are those people in the Qin family still have a little family affection, which of their sisters has come to see Su'e when something happened? It's a pity that I was busy with work at the time, and I couldn't take care of Yingying, who of those who were aunts had seen the children? During the New Year's holidays, when we are Yingying's niece? Now that the child is older, he comes to pick peaches, what is my home? Asked her to stay in a hotel, but my family is not welcome. ”

"John, if you really do this, Yingying will be very sad, although she hasn't said it explicitly over the years, I know that she really wants to associate with people from her grandmother's family. This cousin said that he came back from Nanyang, looking at it this way, people are not very poor people, and they should really want to see Yingying when they can come to our house. ”

Fu John snorted coldly: "How is Nanyang?" There are farmer and maid governess, who knows what this woman does? What should I do if I take Yingying with me? ”

"John, I didn't expect you to be so unconfident in your daughter? Are we Yingying children who can be taken away casually? ”

Fu John was speechless when questioned by his wife, and had to say: "Whatever, anyway, you are in charge of Yingying's affairs over the years, your mother and daughter have one heart, how good love is, I can't control it." He changed his words, "What happened to Yingying today?" Why do you look at me so strangely? ”

Xu Mei sighed: "You also know that there is always a knot in her heart that cannot be untied." It's July again, and the newspapers have recently brought up those cases, so maybe they've affected her. I really hope that Officer An can catch the murderer and bring the murderer to justice, so that Su'e will be able to look at him, and Yingying will be completely better in the future. ”

"Do you think you can catch it? In the past few years, I didn't have a clue back then, what can I find now? ”

"I believe in Officer An's ability, and he will definitely do his best."

Fu John also sighed deeply: "I hope." ”

"I hope that Su'e's spirit in the sky can bless her, and there will be good results in this reopening investigation."

"You're here again, Zi Bu is silent."

Xu Mei said with a smile: "Actually, what Master Confucius said is to respect the ghosts and gods and stay away, you see, he said that he wants to respect, which means that in fact, he seems to believe these in his own heart." ”

Fu John was dumbfounded: "You, you, you are so cunning when you are studying." ”

"What's the matter, if people call it cunning, you can't praise me for being good." The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, sweeping away the depressed atmosphere.

"Ahh Help me! ”

A scream broke through the silence of the night.

Xu Mei sat up and pulled the bedside lamp: "What sound?" Oops, it's Yingying! ”

She hurriedly got up, opened the door and ran to Fu Yingying's room.

Fu John turned over and muttered, "I must be sick again, it's always scary like this." ”
