In a somewhat remote village in the city of N, a middle-aged woman is playing by the river with a group of children.

The children, who were probably four or five years old, were getting hotter and hotter, and many of them were jumping into the river with their bare butts and frolicking. Located in the lower reaches of the river, the water is gentle and not deep, surrounded by dense aquatic plants and riverside plants.

"Hey, hey, come after me!" A boy stepped back as he threw water at his companion.

"Ouch!" He tripped over something under his feet and fell on his back. The splash was big enough to splash all the children around.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly went to the river to check and shouted, "Oh, my child, can you be careful, there are many stones in the water...... This, this doesn't seem to be a stone? ”

The woman was terrified, and when she looked at the shape of the thing, it was clearly a corpse wrapped in straw!

Although the humanoid thing was covered all over and tied with rope, the middle-aged woman was still scared, and she picked up a child, pulled one in her hand, and beckoned to other children playing as she ran.

"Run! Dead man in the river! ”

"Ahhh A group of children who didn't know what was going on shouted along.

The police set up a cordon along the river.

Ningke, who was the head of the investigation team, got out of the police car and immediately covered his nose. A stench of corpses permeated the entire river.

Investigators have removed the straw tied to the corpse, and judging from the body shape, it should be a female corpse, which has been badly decomposed, and its facial features are unrecognizable.

"Who's this......"

"This is a homicide case, there hasn't been a case like this in our village for several years."

"It's too immoral to throw corpses, how will this water be used in the future?"

Villagers were talking behind the cordon.

Ning Ke faced the dazzling sunlight, came to the corpse and squatted down, put on a mask and asked the forensic doctor beside him, "How is it?" What can be seen now? ”

The medical examiner said while doing the examination: "The deceased should be a woman, about forty or fifty years old, with a high degree of decomposition all over her body, and a giant view, and the specific data can only be obtained by going back to the autopsy." ”

Ning Ke put on his gloves and flipped the corpse's hand, the skin of his fingers had rotted under the soaking of the river, and he could no longer identify the corpse by fingerprints.

"Take it back." Ningke got up and ordered.

The medical examiner followed the body back to the police station in a car, while the rest remained in place to investigate the scene.

"Boss, we didn't find any footprints of the suspected murderer at the scene, this is the downstream of the water, and the murderer should have thrown the body from the upstream. Based on the speed of the water, it is speculated that the time of dumping the body should be around 12 a.m. yesterday night. ”

"Hmm." Ning Ke nodded, "Let's go, go upstream and have a look." ”

The day before Lu Jisheng was about to leave, a cute little guest was welcomed in the ward.

"Daddy!" Xiao Yu broke free from Aunt Lin's hands and jumped onto Lu Jisheng's hospital bed, "Dad, I miss you so much." He rubbed his little face against Lu Jisheng's jaw, which had grown a stubble of stubble.

Lu Jisheng hasn't shaved in the past few days, and the scum on his face has added a lazy temperament to him.

"yes, how are you staying at your grandfather's house these days?" Lu Jisheng hugged Xiao Yu's waist with one hand, his recovery power was very amazing, and his two arms could already move on their own in a small range.

"The food was good, and there were a lot of new toys!" Xiao Yu looked very happy.

As soon as the earthquake occurred, Minglei received a secret order to take Xiao Yu out of the kindergarten. Fortunately, the evacuation measures and facilities of the senior kindergarten are very complete, and when Minglei arrived, the teacher had already taken the students to the underground shelter.

Then Ming Lei took Xiao Yu back to the place designated by the commander-in-chief, that is, Lu Huaizhou, Lu Jisheng's father, and protected it.

"Hmm." Lu Jisheng showed a rare smile, "Dad is going to Germany tomorrow, do you want to go with you?" ”

Xiao Yu pursed her lips and complained, "I originally wanted to go, but grandpa wouldn't let me go... Say let me stay at home. I feel bored at home and have no one to accompany me. ”

Lu Jiwen was lying on the head of the bed on his hospital bed, and when he heard Xiao Yu's words, he also pouted and nodded heavily, because Lu Huaizhou didn't let him go out with Lu Jisheng.

"Dad, I don't want to stay at home by myself, I want to go out and play with my friends. Oh yes! What about Lina who came to our house last time? How is she? Xiao Yu asked worriedly.

"She's fine, she's with her mother."

The expression on Xiao Yu's face became even more sad, and he remembered that he didn't have a mother again.

Other people's children can hide in their mother's arms when they are sad and lonely, but he can't, he wants to see his father and spare time, and he wants to go out with his father to play with his grandfather and he won't let him.

"Woo......" grievances gradually turned into tears that burst out of his eyes, although Xiao Yu has been taken care of very well these days, but his grandparents are very busy, only Aunt Lin can accompany him all day, and he finally met his father, and he will not be able to see him for a long time.

Xiao Yu felt that he had been abandoned.

"Don't be naughty." When Lu Jisheng saw that he was about to cry, he immediately straightened his face.

Obviously, as a father, Lu Jisheng is not very good at coaxing children.

In Xiao Yu's opinion, his father was rejecting him. So Xiao Yu, who has been lacking love in the past few days, cried out. While crying, he fluttered in the air with his hands.

Lu Jisheng didn't expect him to really cry, and he was suddenly a little in a hurry.

"Don't... Don't cry, Daddy will leave tomorrow and bring you a gift when he comes back. ”

Xiao Yu already had a lot of gifts, and he wanted to be with his father even more, so he cried even harder: "You are not allowed to go!" Don't go! Woooooo

Jing Sheng, who had been standing by the bed, stretched out his hands and whispered softly to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, come and hug my sister." ”

Children like to run to warm places, so Xiao Yu immediately left his father, who seemed indifferent to him, and turned to Jing Sheng's arms.

"Sister, I don't want Dad to go." Xiao Yu shrunk into Jing Sheng's arms and said in a pitiful little voice.

Lu Jiwen and Xue Ziyin on the hospital bed next door glanced at each other, and they all showed distressed expressions.

Jing Sheng hugged Xiao Yu and shook it gently from side to side, and gently comforted his back with his hand: "But Dad has to go abroad for treatment, Xiao Yuxi doesn't want Daddy's illness to be cured?" ”

"Hmm...... Wish. ”

"Dad won't be going for a long time, he will come back when he is sick, can I help you watch him?"

Lu Jisheng crossed his hands behind his head, and looked at Jingsheng coaxing Xiao Yu in a relaxed posture, with a gentle expression.

"Okay~" After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yu felt that it was more cost-effective for him to be a recovered father, so he agreed.

However, it was too boring to be alone at home, and the kindergarten was closed: "Then can I play with Lena while I'm at home?" It's not fun for me to be alone. ”

Jing Sheng hugged Xiao Yu and turned to Lu Jisheng, and the two waited for his answer together.

Lu Jisheng originally looked leisurely, and he was glad that someone could help him and let Xiao Yu stop crying, but he didn't expect the topic to turn back to him.

He put his hands down and looked serious again: "Ahem, Lena is at home with her parents now." They moved to a house far from the city. ”

The Du Juan family has two houses in M City, one is a residential area close to Du Juan's place of work, and the other is in a beautiful but remote suburb.

After the earthquake, the house in the city cracked, and they moved to a house in the suburbs that was still in good condition.

"Shall I go see her, then?" Xiao Yu's black eyes were full of anticipation.

"Yes, I'll let Aunt Lin accompany you."

Aunt Lin smiled and nodded.

"Hey, daddy, it's the best." Xiao Yu threw himself on his father from Jing Sheng's arms again, "Then Dad, you just said that you wanted to bring me a gift, don't forget it." ”

Lu Jisheng smiled dotingly: "Got it, little clever ghost." ”
