The Municipal Police Bureau, for the two murders on Tiandu Peak, the two deceased students in Xiahua College had an exchange meeting, and finally ended in an "accident", and no murderer assumed relevant legal responsibility. Originally, the serious crime team was skeptical about this sentence, if it was before, Team Zhou would definitely investigate it to the end, but this time, instead of objecting, she even proposed to end the case in this way. Presumably she was carried away by emotional matters, which is the outcome speculated by the people in the police force.

In the evening, Zhou Meng went to her parents' house for dinner, she deliberately went to the convenience store at the foot of Tiandu Peak, and the clerk who was working told her that Mu Yu had been fired and had not seen him since last night. With a feeling of loss, she drove blankly through the lights, and the melancholy in her heart was like a sudden drizzle, blowing on the windshield, dense. After experiencing ups and downs outside, she lost her previous arrogance with her hair scattered, and even the security guard at the door didn't recognize it at first glance, until she got on the elevator, and she didn't come back to her senses.

Chen Hong saw that her daughter was silent, what happened last night is still vivid, although the final marriage proposal steps are more absurd, but at least let the guests also know the future son-in-law, she obviously knows that her daughter is not because of the time problem as she said, or because of the case. But she was still confident that this development of events could not escape her carefully calculated outcome. Zhou Meng at the dinner table has been silent, in the past, the words of laughter have already been happy, the key is that Chen Hong's face is not right, Zhou Zhiming had an idea, and he thought of the words. "By the way, I heard from the police station that the school case is closed?" But Zhou Meng only cared about eating, and rarely even moved chopsticks to the dishes, and she was already absent-minded. "Little dream? Little dreams! ”

"Well, Dad, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now." It wasn't until his father patted him on the shoulder that he came back to his senses.

"I heard that the school case has been closed, with an accidental death?"

Zhou Meng nodded and explained: "Because of this matter...... Hey, the case is closed,"

"Don't get in the way, since the case has been closed, don't think about it anymore, it's futile to think too much." Zhou Zhiming picked a piece of braised carp meat for his daughter. "Be careful, don't get stuck in the fishbones." The implication of his words is obvious, the person in charge has always been sullen, don't provoke her.

"Thank you, Dad." Zhou Meng glanced at his mother next to him, and also lowered his head and focused on picking at the fish bones.

However, all this still did not escape Chen Hong's eyes, after all, it was his own flesh and blood, and he could see at a glance what was wrong. Then at the reunion at the dinner table, she said coldly: "Are you thinking about the case?" Are you sure you're not thinking about that man? ”

Zhou Meng put the fish back in his mouth, and leaned against the rice bowl with a pair of chopsticks. "It's not that man, he has a name, it's called Mu Yu."

"Well, admit you're thinking about that man." Chen Hong slapped the chopsticks on the table fiercely, making Zhou Zhiming on the side tremble in fright, and even the soup splashed on the light-colored tablecloth. "I called your house last night all night, but no one answered! Where have you been? Chen Hong asked.

"Mom, I'm twenty-seven years old, and since I've been eighteen years old, I've had absolute privacy and decision-making rights in law, and I have a reason not to tell you, even if you're my mother." Zhou Meng's serious expression was slightly helpless.

Chen Hong's eyes trembled, this was the first time that her daughter said such a rebellious thing to her mother, her angry eyes instantly froze a ball of tears, she took a deep breath, and roared: "You still know, I am your mother!" But then, she aimed the punching bag at her husband Zhou Zhiming. Zhou Zhiming! Chen Hong shouted word by word: "Look, this is the good thing you did, you said that you would send your daughter to the police academy at the beginning, saying that the future is immeasurable." But look at it now, the daughter actually uses official words to pressure her mother. Or you don't fall in love for a few years, outsiders don't know, and you think it's gay! Now it's good to find a person who is very suitable in all aspects, but suddenly I don't know where to lead a wild man out. ”

Zhou Zhiming was like a dumb man eating Coptis chinensis, he couldn't say what he was suffering from, he moved to the corner of the dining table, unwilling to wade into this muddy water. "Mom, when you say that, it's just unreasonable." Zhou Meng was very annoyed, she really didn't know what benefits Han Feng had given to make her mother fall into madness.

"You!" Chen Hong could no longer suppress the lost emotions in his heart, stood up from the dining chair, and stared directly at Zhou Meng. "You, you dare to treat your mother like this, you ......"

"I'm sorry, Mom, I don't want to talk about this matter anymore, I won't have any results with Han Feng." Zhou Meng got up and replied, she finished venting her truest feelings in her heart, and then turned to leave.

"Zhou Meng! If you dare to step out of this house, don't come back. Chen Hong's nervous gaze followed her back until she opened the door without hesitation. Zhou Meng, you, you dare! Unfortunately, before the last words could be spoken, the door was slammed shut. The angry expression lasted less than a minute, and Chen Hong regretted it, she got up and hurriedly ran to the balcony, leaned out the window, and left hurried footsteps on her anxious back. The moment he got into the car, Zhou Meng also turned to look up at the windowsill that was projecting dazzling lights, as well as the familiar and dejected face. I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry. She sighed helplessly in her heart and drove away.

Seeing that his wife's expression was numb, her emotions were lost, and the tears in her eyes had soaked into her cheeks, Zhou Zhiming took a deep breath and said: "Hey, a good dinner, it's like this, forget it, let her go, after all, she can accompany her for a lifetime in her future life." ”

"But, Han Feng ......" Chen Hong choked unwillingly.

"I admit that Han Feng's family background is good, and compared with our family, it is also very compatible, especially there is an officer father, which is of great help to Xiaomeng's future in the future. Can ......" Zhou Zhiming's voice was low, Chen Hong had never seen him so serious. "But Han Feng, this kid, the city government is too deep, in the early years, when he was a student, he was known for his tricks, and it may be a little inappropriate to talk about this matter afterwards, but what is difficult for a person to change is his nature. Now that he is almost forty years old, do you really believe the objective comments and reports of the media on him over the years? I don't deny it, but I don't believe it either. ”

This sounds really inappropriate, but the words are pertinent, Chen Hong fell into contemplation, she took the tissue handed by Zhou Zhiming, wiped the tears in the corners of her eyes, and sighed: "Actually, I also understand all this, Han Feng's child, I have been watching it for more than ten years, and naturally I have a lot of understanding, but my daughter doesn't pick some good ones now, I'm afraid that when she gets older, she will have to be picked by others!" ”

"What does it have to do with age?" Zhou Zhiming was puzzled for a while, but he didn't expect his wife's words. "What's more, I think that Mu Yu is good, and it won't be worse than Han Feng."

"Zhimin, do you really think I don't know? The ring mark on his left ring finger is so obvious that those relatives and friends can guess that if our daughter ends up with a divorced man, they will only take it as a joke, and I can't afford to lose this face! Chen Hong felt annoyed when she thought of this, she still thought that Han Feng was the best choice.

"Hey......" Zhou Zhiming was helpless, he got up and left the dining room. An unforgettable marriage, but in the end chose to forget, the hidden story in this is not necessarily disgusting. ”

The next day, when the sun set for the last of its days, the rhythm of nightlife began, and according to the information provided by the intermediary service company, at 7:26, Mu Tianyu arrived at Xikou Port. This is the old town of Tiandu, all the architectural styles are like the scene of a hundred years ago, because of its remote location, surrounded by valley basins, and the only water source in the area, the Rhine Lake, is also far away from here, so the government chose the latter for the reconstruction and development project. Nowadays, most of the people living here are elderly, and they choose to retire here, plant flowers and plants, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The old station at the West Exit Port is empty of people and tourists, and there are only four buses a day between the city and the old town, at 9 a.m., 12 p.m., 3 p.m., and 6 p.m. In the middle of winter, the frequency will be shortened to two in the morning and afternoon. It takes at least two hours to drive from Tiandu to the old city, and Mu Tianyu set off at 5 p.m. Maybe people here don't like to be busy, and before eight o'clock, there are no people on the streets, only the old street lamps look depressed, in short, everything is deserted. Stepping off the last train, the only fellow driver also quietly walked away, and his back disappeared into the dark depths. Following the guidance of the previous inquiry, on the desolate and empty path of Xikou Harbor Road, only Mu Tianyu and his own shadow were company, the shops on both sides of the road were closed, and there was a different kind of light, flickering at the end of the street, looking from afar, it was a motel.

Gangcheng Hotel, welcome, on the side of the street, set up on a sign of eight characters, winding a strip of colored lights, emitting flickering light and different colors, making people hesitate. However, Mu Tianyu still walked in, and a man sitting on a chair at the back of the windowsill, about fifty years old, with a stubble on his face, heard that the door of the inn was pushed open, so he subconsciously turned his head to look. Mu Tianyu carried a backpack, paid attention to the middle-aged man, and then walked to the front desk. "Hello, is anyone there?" He shouted, leaning against a wooden bench outside the front desk, only ten meters away from the middle-aged man in the corner, but under the dim lamp, he didn't see the other party's appearance. "Is anyone there?" Mu Tianyu raised his voice, but there was nothing but silence,

"The boss has something to do." The voice of the middle-aged man came from the dark corner, his voice was low and deep, he must have been in good health, he moved the wooden chair, and made a creaking sound, similar to the struggle of a wooden beam carrying a heavy load, and he continued: "If you want to stay in the hotel, I'm afraid you will have to wait a little longer. ”

Mu Tianyu looked at the source of the sound, the chandelier in the lobby was broken in several places, and it happened that the person was sitting in the corner that was not illuminated by the light. "Thanks, I'm not going to stay at the hotel, are you a local? Do you know which side of the fork in the road is on? The sign next to the road, eroded by the wind and rain, the markings on it are not visible, I am here for the first time. ”

"West Port Road?" The words in the corner were a little surprised, and then the other party asked suspiciously, "You?" Are you Muyu? ”
