Wang Vanilla was at a loss, and as soon as Zhang Xiaokui wanted to speak, he listened to the deputy director next to him softened his tone, "Wei Lan gave it to you, take it." ”

Seeing Zhang Xiaokui nodding again, Wang Vanilla carefully picked a small piece of Ding Ding candy from the oil paper bag in front of him, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

Wei Lan pursed her lips, her eyes curled and she smiled gently, "You're welcome." I don't usually have anyone else here, I'm bored and panicked, if you have nothing to do, you can often come and sit. ”

"Okay, good!" Wang Vanilla's face was strange for a moment, and she soon smiled sincerely.

Zhang Xiaokui had explained to Wang Vanilla in advance that Yanyi was looking for someone to take care of Wei Lan, and he didn't want Wei Lan to know about it for the time being.

Wang Vanilla was worried for a while before, afraid that this matter would not be able to be smashed in her hands, but now it is better, Wei Lan took the initiative to open her mouth and saved her a lot of effort.

The two girls in the house had a very happy conversation, Yan Yi glanced at Zhang Xiaokui, raised his chin lightly in the direction of the door, and then walked in front of the house first.

Zhang Xiaokui understood, and followed him out of the ward, "Deputy Yan." ”

"How's it going?"

"Everything is going on normally, after investigation, there are four people who can basically be locked, although the others have had a quarrel with Wei Zhiqing, but the facts involved are too trivial to be listed as references, plus there is an alibi, so ......"

Yan Yi raised his hand and interrupted Zhang Xiaokui's words, "Which four are those four?" ”

"Jiang Zhiqing, the two aunts on the team, usually have a broken mouth and love to calculate...... Ah, there is another one who is also in the brigade, a young student, it seems to be called Xibao? ”

It was from his small mouth that he said that he had been unloaded by Comrade Gu Chao because of the nonsense before, and even the work of the sunflower project was lost...... Pile by pile, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no bad intentions. ”

Yanyi's face froze, his whole body was full of anger, and he was silent for a long time and said coldly: "Let people continue to star, I will go over tonight." ”

Zhang Xiaokui nodded, and asked hesitantly, "Then, what about Wei Zhiqing?" ”

Yanyi mostly has to deal with the official affairs of the bureau during the day, and he can't stay by Wei Lan's side all the time, so at night, he will always come to the hospital to accompany Wei Lan, sometimes he will sit on the chair next to the bed for a night, and sometimes when he is tired, he will lie on the side of the bed for a night half asleep and half awake.

Wei Lan spent most of her time asleep, and once or twice she woke up and realized Yanyi's behavior, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and she had persuaded her many times, saying that she could do it alone, and Yanyi either changed the topic, or just didn't hear about it, and over time, Wei Lan stopped talking.

As soon as he heard that Yanyi was going out at night, Zhang Xiaokui's first concern was not whether they would act impulsively, but whether Wei Zhiqing would be unaccustomed and afraid.

Yan Yi's deep eyebrows furrowed, and in a short moment, he relaxed again, his cold face warmed slightly, and his voice softened, "I will explain to her clearly, you can do what I say." ”

After Yanyi finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the ward and walked in, Zhang Xiaokui followed behind and responded, "Yes......"

When he raised his eyes, he saw Wei Zhiqing with a gentle and quiet smile, and his object who looked very happy with the corners of his grinning mouth.

Although Wei Zhiqing sometimes speaks strangely after no memory, no matter what, Wei Zhiqing before and after amnesia is a very good and warm person.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaokui's slightly thick lips pursed and looked at the man in a pale blue uniform at the end of the bed.

The man who has always been strict and cold and even gloomy seems to show a shallow smile and a gentle look only when facing Wei Zhiqing.

If Deputy Bureau Yan can always hold Wei Zhiqing in the palm of his hand like this, and treat him as a treasure, even if he is not with Comrade Gu Chao, Wei Zhiqing will be happy, right?

……

Family.

Grandma Gu leaned in front of the bed, took the soup bowl handed by Youlan and took a sip, and heard the sound of "clanging" outside, Grandma Gu coughed, "Where is Brother Chao'er at home?" ”

Youlan nodded, "Yes, my brother has been out less in the past two days, and he has chopped firewood for the house." ”

In summer, it is hot, not better than winter, you need firewood to warm the stove, and it is easy to hide snakes and rats when the firewood accumulates......

was so dignified, suddenly chopping so much firewood, Grandma Gu's sparse eyebrows wrinkled together, and she faintly noticed that something was wrong.

She put down the soup bowl and beckoned Youlan to call Gu Chao over.

Gu Chao was chopping wood in the courtyard, and when he heard Youlan say that Grandma Gu was looking for him, he promised to come after washing his hands, but he didn't come out again after entering the backyard.

Grandma Gu waited for a long time and didn't wait for anyone, beckoned Youlan to go and take a look, and when Youlan went to the backyard, where was there still her brother's shadow?

Gu Chao did have a plan, and he expected that Grandma Gu would ask him for questions, so he took advantage of the gap and ran away from the bamboo forest in the backyard.

"I'm afraid that bastard is going to do something out of his mind, find ...... Go, call your brother Yang to find it, don't tie it up, and you have to bring people back if you discount one leg! ”

Grandma Gu struggled to get out of bed, Youlan was frightened, she didn't expect the matter to be so serious, but she didn't dare not listen to Grandma's orders, and she didn't dare to persuade again, so she bit her lip and retreated to the door.

In the past, when there was no such thing as educated youths going to the countryside, there were only a few places where Gu Chao hid in his spare time, among the lotus leaves in the small harbor, the remote waterfront platform, and the hillside of the back mountain, and the small forest near the cemetery......

One is because it is remote, no one goes at all, and the other is because it is next to the cemetery, and the people in the brigade are unlucky and basically reluctant to go, so those two places are quiet and "good" places.

Gu Yang searched for these two places successively, but he didn't find Gu Chao's shadow, and he didn't feel a little anxious.

"You go back and guard your grandma, I'll look for it in a farther place." Glancing at the panting little girl behind her, Gu Yang explained in a deep voice.

Grandma Gu is now seriously ill and weak, Gu Yang is worried that someone has been found here, and something will happen to Grandma Gu's side.

Youlan nodded hesitantly.

Gu Yang was looking all over the place, but he would never have thought that Gu Chao at this time was only a hundred and ten meters away from his house.

Behind the house at the end of the seventh team's village, behind the two towering camphors, there is a big banyan tree that is old.

The main trunk of the tree is so thick that three or four people holding hands may not be able to surround it, and the other branches are also thick legs, reaching out in all directions, and the stolons that emerge from the branches, because they are far from the ground, cannot penetrate into the soil, so they naturally droop from the top down, forming a finger-thick vine.

The boys in the brigade often come to this place to play, so the soil under the trees is firm and smooth.

The canopy of the trees towers among the clouds, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and the stars sprinkle on the ground.

The wooden handle of the shovel is horizontal between the two branches, and the man is leaning between the trunks of the tree in the air, and his head rests on the wooden handle of the shovel.

The leaves swayed in the wind, and the dappled sunlight swayed, sometimes falling on his face, sometimes reflecting in those deep eyes.

However, the man was not affected by the dazzling sun.

Gu Chaoyu frowned lightly, and his deep eyes stared at the photo he was holding in his hand.

The photo was four inches in size, colorful, and on it was a little girl wearing a silk veil and a white wedding dress, with red lips and white teeth and bright smiles.

It was a year when I went to Beijing and took photos in Beijing, a set of six photos, most of which were photos of him and Wei Lan, and Wei Lan was alone, only this one.

The rough fingers lightly swiped over the face of the young girl in the photo, Gu Chao's hand trembled, his eyes were red, and he put the photo close to his heart.

Then he pulled something out of his pocket, and tied the red rope of a delicate little toad.

The red rope and the toad Wei Lan had been wearing it for a long time, and the color had faded slightly, but in the broken and whitish red rope, it was obviously dark.

Because of Wei Lan's disappearance, Gu Chao couldn't find anyone for a long time, and he was depressed for a long time because of this incident, but he noticed the clues on the rope by chance, which made Gu Chao feel that maybe Wei Lan was swept away by the water, and it was not an "accident".

The whole red rope was a little faded and white, except for the one that was dark red, like precipitated blood.

If you accidentally fall into the water, even if the current is strong, you can call for help, and people nearby will hear the movement and go to the rescue, even if it is not timely, it will not end up like now......

Gu Chao closed his eyes in pain, ruling out this possibility, there was a second possibility.

Before Wei Lan fell into the water, he had been severely injured, and the blood stains on the rope could be explained, and when he fell into consciousness after the heavy injury, he fell like water, silently, so at the first time of the incident, no one knew that Wei Lan had had an accident, only after the temporary embankment was built, and when the people went home, they found that there were fewer people, and they knew that people had had an accident.

unconscious, bleeding, in a gully where the water was churning......

Can bleed all of a sudden, and even fall into a coma, somehow, Gu Chao suddenly thought of the shovel that those people brought back from Xiaogang.

Is that what he thinks?

If so, then the situation is several times more dangerous than the previous speculation of falling overboard!

His heart suddenly hurt like a pinprick, Gu Chao's fist squeaked, his hateful eyes were bloodthirsty red, but he didn't dare to continue to think deeply.

His girl, the girl he held in the palm of his hand!

The breeze blew, the little toad swayed back and forth, Gu Chao pinched the red rope, his big hand became more and more forceful, and his joints began to turn white.

Gu Chao didn't go far to look for it in the past few days, just to investigate this matter.

He has successively looked for a few people who are usually close to Wei Lan, and also privately found the people who were rushing to work in the sunflower seed field that day, and basically had some eyebrows, just piercing the thin layer of "window paper" to know whether the murderer was that person or not.

If yes......

Gu Chao closed his eyes, hid the fierceness in his eyes, and his five fingers were deeply buckled into the trunk.

All he can do now is wait.

Wait for nightfall......

*

The sky was dark, the clouds in the distance were like daisies, and the corridor downstairs was lit up with dim street lights, Yan Yi glanced at it, closed the window and closed the curtains casually.

He turned and walked to the bedside, his riding boots clattering on the floor.

Wei Lan leaned on the head of the bed, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyes moved with him, and her voice was soft and gentle, "Are you going out today?" ”

"Well, there's something to deal with." Yan Yi sat down on the edge of the bed, "Sleepy or not?" I watched you sleep. You're asleep, I'll go again. ”

Wei Lan was not sleepy, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of delaying him for too long, so he nodded obediently, "Hmm." ”

Yanyi came over before, and he often came over in police uniforms, but it was the first time that he was so neat as this time.

Wei Lan's gaze swept over the gun magazine on his waist, and he couldn't help but grasp Yanyi's sleeve worriedly, "Is it dangerous?" ”

"There is no danger."

Wei Lan's nervous appearance was deep in Yan Yi's heart, a shallow tenderness appeared on his face, he reached out to touch her head, afraid of touching the wound, and finally turned to her face, and rubbed her cheek twice, "It's just that I went over to interrogate a few people, and I'll be back soon...... When you open your eyes tomorrow morning, you will see me. ”

"Really?" Wei Lan didn't believe it, but in an instant, she felt that she was a little willful, Yanyi was busy with business, and she had no reason to forcibly leave him behind.

Wei Lan bit her lip and said with a smile: "Then, then I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Although she smiled, her eyebrows drooped, which was very far-fetched.

"Go, go early and come back early, I can do it alone."

Yan Yi stared at Wei Lan for a moment, and suddenly leaned forward, he wanted to kiss Wei Lan, but when he was about to respond to the red lip flap, Wei Lan turned his head to dodge, and the thin lips only brushed lightly past her cheeks.

Yan Yi propped his arms on Wei Lan's pillow, and Wei Lan's whole body was under him.

The little girl's face was crimson, and her eyes were unnatural and she didn't dare to look at him, "Don't, don't make trouble, there are many people in the hospital, you go quickly, go quickly!" ”

Yan Yi's eyes were deep, and there was a different kind of satisfaction in his heart, he hugged Wei Lan tightly in his arms and hugged him hard, as if he wanted to rub it into his bones, "I will definitely come back soon." ”

"Hmm."

Then the door of the ward "clicked" shut, and the room fell silent.

The young girl let out a sigh of relief and let go of the hand in the quilt that was gripping the sheets.

Then, on the young girl's pale and delicate face, the curved willow eyebrows were suppressed and wrinkled.

Maybe it's a bit excessive, but the moment Yan Yi leaned over just now, she realized what he wanted to do, and she actually ...... is resistant.

But she's his fiancée, isn't she?

Although she doesn't remember many things, she probably knows what kind of person Yanyi is from this period of contact.

Stern, indifferent, and even a little cold-blooded, but he has always been gentle, tolerant and patient in front of her......

Between them, if there is no basis for affection, then how can he possibly do this?

Really...... Did she forget something important?

Wei Lan bit her lip and stared at the quilt that was bulging due to bending her knees, and suddenly felt sorry in her heart.

Until she regains her memory, she may not even be able to respond to Yanyi's affection.

*

The night is dark and the wind is high, two high beams enter the seventh team, a large area of cold, accompanied by the sound of "Didi" car, many people put on their clothes and go out, go there to see the excitement.

At the same time, Gu Chao seized the opportunity and started his own plan.

Groping down from the tree, bypassing the big banyan tree and the camphor tree, Gu Chao came all the way to a dilapidated courtyard gate at the end of the village.

His deep eyes were extremely cold, and he reached out and patted the door, and the muffled sound of "dong dong" in the darkness seemed to smash on people's hearts.
