"God sent the baby, who took this name?"

"He took it."

"Does Fan Hongwei like his son?"

"I like it."

"Where can I tell I like it?"

"He and I are both public officials, and we can only have one child under the family planning policy. His three sisters in the family, just one son, have been very pampered since childhood. Maybe it's because Tianbao is a son, anyway, Fan Hongwei values it very much, and the first thing he does when he comes back from work is to talk to Tianbao. If he woke up Tempo when he hit me, he would coax the child and say that we were just having fun. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan said: "The reason why he was able to threaten success was because he controlled your psychology, he bet that you love your son more, and he was afraid that he would hurt your son." But if you think about it yourself, their family has been passed down for three generations, where are they willing to hurt Tianbao. ”

Although I know that what Zhao Xiangwan said is right, Gu Wenjiao is a mother, and mother and son are connected, where can I dare to bet? She looked at Zhao Xiangwan hesitantly: "But...... Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. What if Fan Hongwei really went crazy and threw his son downstairs? ”

He Mingyu pulled Zhao Xiangwan and signaled her to pay attention to her speech. As a police officer, everything you say and do is like being put in the spotlight, and you must be cautious when it comes to legality, compliance, and public order and good customs.

Zhao Xiangwan really can't wait to say: Don't you know if you try? But He Mingyu's reminder was very right, she didn't say this sentence, but replied lightly: "I can understand you." ”

Since her mother died and married Fan Hongwei, Gu Wenjiao has hardly had contact with her father and has few friends. She felt that she was not doing well and was even more reluctant to be close to her colleagues, so she appeared introverted and silent. This was the first time she had said so many words to a stranger, Gu Wenjiao felt a lot more relaxed in her stuffy chest, and the more she looked at Zhao Xiangwan, the more pleasing it became: "Thank you, thank you for understanding me." ”

Zhao Xiangwan smiled: "It's okay." Thank you for your cooperation, if you have anything in the future, come to the city bureau to find us. After speaking, he got up with He Mingyu and said goodbye to Gu Wenjiao and left.

Walking out of the outpatient building of the hospital, the smell of disinfectant water gradually dissipated, and Zhao Xiangwan and He Mingyu went to the scene of the shooting murder that year.

Five-storey brick and concrete building, red clear water exterior wall, blue-gray cement floor, cement empty flower railing, two households on the first floor, a total of three units. The house built at the end of the 70s is now more than ten years old, the exterior walls are overgrown with creepers, and the stairwell looks a little dilapidated.

The stairwell had no door, it was just open. The only thing that protects the safety of residents is that each house has an anti-theft door on the outside of the wooden door. It seems that the homicide of that year still left a psychological shadow on the residents here.

The two walked up the stairs. Obviously, everything is normal, but He Mingyu doesn't know why he always has a creepy feeling: "Xiang Wan, do you smell blood in the air?" ”

Zhao Xiangwan stopped, sniffed vigorously, shook his head and said, "Senior sister, I smell the aroma of the food, it seems to be the smell of soy sauce poached eggs." ”

Hearing Zhao Xiangwan's words, He Mingyu's nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and he smiled: "You are a dog's nose, you can even smell fried poached eggs in vegetable oil and drizzled with soy sauce!" ”

Zhao Xiangwan pointed to the door of room 401 on the fourth floor of a unit: "Ah, it came from Gu Wenjiao's house." It seems that her father is home at noon. ”

knocked on the door, and the person answering the door was a middle-aged man with a sven appearance and a slightly chubby body. Through the security iron door, he asked vigilantly: "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

He Mingyu showed his police ID: "Hello, is it Gu Chaodong?" We are from the Serious Crime Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and we would like to ask you about the old case from ten years ago. ”

Gu Chaodong didn't open the door: "I wasn't at home at the time, so I didn't have anything to say." ”

He Mingyu strained his face: "The case is serious, please cooperate." ”

Gu Chaodong looked at the police officer card, reluctantly opened the door, and muttered as he opened the door: "It's been ten years, what's the use of looking for me?" You go find Wen Jiao. ”

A gentle female voice came from the room: "Old Gu, who is it?" ”

There was also a boy's cheerful voice: "Dad, come and eat, there are poached eggs today!" ”

Zhao Xiangwan followed He Mingyu into the house, there was a shoe changing area at the door, with a few pairs of shoes, and then there was the living room, and there was a balcony on the south side of the living room, and some flowers and plants were planted on the balcony. There is a small hallway between the living room and the bedroom, and the bedroom and bathroom doors are facing the hallway.

In the living room, there are children's toys and books at will, and the white walls are hung with pinyin tables and various colorful wall charts, which are slightly messy, but they have a warm sense of home.

Seeing the furnishings at home, I don't know why Zhao Xiangwan was a little sad for Gu Wenjiao, and it was no wonder that she was reluctant to go home and talk to Gu Chaodong. This house is the housing allocated by Zhou Jinfeng's unit, but now it is inhabited by Gu Chaodong and his new wife and son, everyone forgot about Zhou Jinfeng and started a new life, only Gu Wenjiao is still living in the past.

To the north of the living room is the kitchen, with three dishes and one soup on the dining table, a woman wearing an apron came out of the kitchen, and greeted He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan with a smile: "Hello, do you want to eat some together?" ”

The reason why He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan came out at noon was to investigate and collect evidence during people's lunch break. The three hospitals and the city bureau drove for about half an hour, and He Mingyu drove out, and the two of them hadn't eaten yet. When I smell the smell of home-cooked food, I feel hungry.

The two endured hunger and waved their hands at the same time: "You're welcome, just ask a few questions." ”

Gu Chaodong invited them to sit down and sat upright: "Ask." ”

"Who lives on the fifth floor now?"

"At first, no one was willing to live there, and it was empty for two years. Later, the case gradually went unmentioned, and it was assigned to an ophthalmologist who had returned from abroad, who was single and lived alone, but was often away from home. ”

"You've always lived here?"

"Yes. There is a shortage of housing in the units, including the 502 family opposite, which has not moved out. However, I have built a fund-raising house, and I will move out next year. ”

"You've lived here for so long, has the next-door neighbor ever discussed the case? What did they say? ”

"It's been so long that there's been very little discussion about the case. I mention it occasionally, but I just tell me not to show my wealth, not to open the door to strangers casually, and not to meddle in other people's affairs. ”

In the end, Gu Chaodong's face became obviously gloomy. Zhou Jinfeng went upstairs to check, but died in Huangquan, although he has already married and had children, in the end he has been married for 20 years, and he still has feelings, and now he still has chest pain when he thinks about it.

When Zhao Xiangwan heard this, he interjected a question: "Gu Wenjiao goes to the police station every month to inquire about the progress of the case, don't you care who the murderer is?" ”

Gu Chaodong felt that this sentence was very harsh, and glanced at Zhao Xiangwan, only to realize that the girl in front of him was a little too young: "You are also a criminal policeman?" ”

I have to say that Gu Wenjiao is really Gu Chaodong's daughter, and when she saw Zhao Xiangwan, she asked the same thing.

After listening to Zhao Xiangwan's introduction, Gu Chaodong's face became much softer. As for the college students who are still studying, they don't understand anything, no wonder they speak so badly. Forget it, don't bother with her.

Gu Chaodong said: "I'm just more realistic. Professionals do professional things, this case was very important to the police in the city, and a lot of police forces were dispatched to solve it. A person's life is only so long, why bother with these old things? It's better to let go of the past and live a good life, this is worthy of the deceased, you say, isn't it? ”

Zhao Xiangwan knew that he was telling the truth, and it was true, but she still wanted to ask a few words for Gu Wenjiao: "However, if everyone forgets the old things, then who will redress the deceased and find out the murderer?" ”

Gu Chaodong listened to Zhao Xiangwan's words, as if he saw his daughter in front of him, and sighed: "You are still young, and you don't know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages." Sometimes, being too attached to the past will only make your life worse and worse. ”

Zhao Xiangwan pursed her lips, and an indescribable and inexplicable anger rose in her heart: "So, Gu Wenjiao deserves to have a bad time, isn't it?" ”

When Gu Chaodong heard her mention her daughter's name, his eyes became worried: "Have you seen Jiaojiao?" Is she having a bad time now? She has been with me for seven or eight years, and I want to know how she is doing, only through the rest of the hospital. ”

Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "Not good." Fan Hongwei often beat her, we just met her, her arm was superimposed with new and old injuries, and there was a large bruise and scar. If you have time, care more about her. ”

When Gu Chaodong heard this, he immediately stood up, and was so anxious that he turned around in the room: "How can this be!" I heard Zhang Yinghua from the pharmacy say that she and her husband did not have a good relationship. I thought that Jiaojiao's temper was not very good, and she spoke impulsively, and when she met a hot-tempered husband, there was nothing she could do if the relationship between the two was not good. I thought...... I thought it was just pushing and shoving between husband and wife, but I really didn't expect Fan Hongwei to hit her often! ”

Gu Chaodong's wife heard that it was a delicate matter, so she didn't interject and took her son to sit down quietly to eat. She had seen Gu Wenjiao a few times, but each time it was not very pleasant, which made her reluctant to bother with Gu Wenjiao's affairs.

Zhao Xiang arrived late and said goodbye to He Mingyu and left.

I went upstairs and knocked on the door, but no one answered the door. It seems that Gu Chaodong is not wrong, although the fifth floor is assigned to an ophthalmologist, he often does not live here.

The two were really hungry, so they walked out of the family area, found a small restaurant across the street from the Third Hospital, sat down, ordered two dishes of fried meat with chili peppers and home-cooked eggplant, and served two large bowls of rice, chatting while eating.

It was around noon, and it was already past the meal, and there were not many people in the restaurant.

It's hot, and there's only one ceiling fan blowing in the restaurant. Although they were sweating, they were so hungry that the two of them ate quite deliciously.

He Mingyu said: "There are people living on the fifth floor, but now the owner is not at home, how can I do it?" ”

Zhao Xiangwan ate relatively quickly, took a bite of rice into his mouth, and had no time to reply, so he could only signal her to wait with his eyes.

He Mingyu couldn't help but smile when she looked at her eating: "What are you anxious about, and no one is robbing you." ”

Zhao Xiangwan was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized something, and slowed down. It wasn't until she finished eating the bite of food in her mouth that she explained: "When I was a child, I always urged my family to eat, so I developed the habit of eating quickly. ”

Qian Shufen couldn't see Zhao Xiangwan's slow eating, and always liked to urge her.

"Hurry up and eat, and feed the chickens when you're done."

"Slacker, what are you doing so much to eat?"

"You're going to embroider in a bowl? Hurry up and eat! ”

I have heard a lot of such words, as long as I sit at the dinner table, Zhao Xiangwan will be nervous, always wanting to finish the meal quickly and hurry up to do the right thing.

Thinking of Zhao Xiangwan's past, He Mingyu looked at her with some pity.

"It's not easy for you. There are four girls in my family, I am the third, and my father is patriarchal, and he doesn't say it, but he is actually not happy in his heart. Some people also proposed to give me and my sister away and change my son to my father, but my parents did not agree. In my father's words, no matter how bad it is, it is also his own birth, and if he doesn't raise it, his conscience is really bad.

Since I was a child, my sisters squeezed into a bed to sleep, picked up my sister's old clothes to wear, and used old schoolbags and stationery, and the conditions were not good. But the atmosphere in my house is okay, there is no quarrel or quarrel during the meal, if there is a piece of meat left in the bowl, no one will coerce, and they are waiting for my mother to share it. ”

Usually we are together to discuss the case

piece, it is rare to hear He Mingyu talk about family affairs, and Zhao Xiangwan listened very seriously. Zhao Xiangwan grew up in the countryside, although he did a lot of farm work and was beaten and scolded by Qian Shufen, the rural areas are vast and sparsely populated, and the housing conditions are better than He Mingyu's family. Before Zhao Chenyang left, the sisters lived in one room and slept in one bed; After Zhao Chenyang followed Zhao Qingyun into the city, Zhao Xiangwan was alone in a room, very comfortable.

He Mingyu put a chopstick lean meat into Zhao Xiangwan's bowl: "You are too thin, eat more." The stir-fried food in this restaurant is quite delicious, and Zhu Feipeng and the others will be dragged over to eat in the future. ”

The owner of the restaurant was a middle-aged woman with kind eyebrows, and when she heard He Mingyu's words, she smiled happily: "Girl, if you like it, I'll bring you a dish next time!" The best thing I do in my house is the hash browns, which are guaranteed to be delicious. ”

He Mingyu joked with her with a smile: "Why do you send it next time?" It's better to send it this time. ”

The boss's surname is Hu, his name is Hu Aiyu, and his temperament is the most refreshing, and when he heard He Mingyu's words, he turned his head and shouted to the back kitchen: "Lao Liu, make a potato cake." ”

After a while, a pot of fragrant fried and burnt potato cakes was served. If you look closely, you can grind the potatoes into shreds, mix with starch and fry them slowly in oil, add cumin, chili powder, and shallots, the edges are crispy, the middle is soft and glutinous, and the flavor is rich, which is simply delicious.

Even Zhao Xiangwan, who doesn't pursue the desire of the tongue very much, couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious!" ”

Looking up at the proprietress standing behind the counter keeping accounts, Zhao Xiangwan suddenly remembered the aunt who opened a rice noodle shop in Luo County, she sent a letter a while ago, saying that business was very good, and the second brother Zhao Bowu also performed well. My cousin Fan Qiuhan has been assigned to Luoxian Chengguan Hospital as a nurse, because of her high level of injections and neat behavior, she is very popular with doctors and patients.

Being able to live a better life is also a kind of ability.

Zhao Xiangwan quickly finished the meal and started a homely conversation with the proprietress: "How many years has your restaurant been open?" ”

Hu Aiyu raised her head and replied through the counter: "It's been more than ten years." Since the state allows small business, Lao Liu and I will take down this shop to cook at the restaurant. The third hospital is a well-known hospital in Xingshi, with a large flow of people every day, doing catering business here, I dare not say that I make a lot of money, and it is no problem to feed my family. ”

The store has been open for more than ten years, and the façade is facing the three hospitals, so you may be able to ask something.

Zhao Xiangwan continued to ask: "Then do you remember the tragic incident that happened in the family building of the hospital ten years ago?" ”

Hu Aiyu nodded and sighed: "I remember." That's a big case that shook the city! The police came over one by one and asked questions, one by one. I also want to provide useful clues, but it was already nine o'clock when the case happened, and our restaurant was closed, so I couldn't provide any information. ”

He Mingyu didn't give up and continued to ask: "Before the case happened, didn't you find any special people or abnormal circumstances?" ”

Hu Aiyu didn't have anything to do, walked out of the counter, stood at He Mingyu's table and spoke: "We will contact many people every day, it was May at that time, the weather was neither cold nor hot, my Lao Liu stir-fry skills are good, the restaurant business is good, and he is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground, I really don't pay attention to any special people or things." ”

The hospital was full of people, men, women and children, cadres, workers, farmers, teachers, hawkers...... There are all kinds of people. Every day in the hospital, there are lives, people die, people cry, people laugh, and there are all kinds of stories in life. Who is special and what are the abnormalities, Hu Aiyu, who runs a restaurant, may not have really noticed it.

Zhao Xiangwan listened carefully to her heart.

[It's been ten years since that case, but I didn't expect anyone to ask. These two girls are probably policemen, and the style of questioning and acting looks like this. How young she is, just like Gu Wenjiao's girl, alas! Gu Wenjiao's dead mother is also a pitiful. Every year on her mother's death day, she would come to my restaurant to order Nurse Zhou's favorite dish for two weeks, looking at the door in a daze, that look made people feel sad and uncomfortable. 】

I didn't expect the proprietress to recognize Gu Wenjiao, Zhao Xiangwan asked: "In the tragedy of destroying the door that year, four people died, which one do you recognize?" ”

Hu Aiyu replied without thinking: "I know Nurse Zhou the best. She has a very good personality, loves to talk and laugh, and often takes her daughter to order a few dishes on weekends, saying that it is a tooth sacrifice. She loves potato cakes, Huangyuan vermicelli soup, ginger and spicy chicken, but it's a pity...... Good people don't live long. ”

Zhao Xiangwan asked, "Nurse Zhou's daughter, Gu Wenjiao, do you know each other?" ”

Hu Aiyu nodded: "I know, it's a very good girl, and she has a very good relationship with her mother." After her mother left, she didn't come much, but every year on the fifteenth day of May, she would definitely order three dishes and eat them all silently. She used to come alone, but later her lover would accompany her, alas! ”

Will Fan Hongwei accompany her over for dinner?

He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan exchanged a look, there must be a demon when something goes wrong!

It stands to reason that Fan Hongwei and Zhou Jinfeng have no feelings, so they will not remember their mother-in-law on the day of their death. What's more, Fan Hongwei is not good to Gu Wenjiao, it can be seen from his beating that this is a ruthless person. Since he treats Gu Wenjiao badly, why do you want to accompany her to the restaurant to eat?

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "In addition to ordering food and eating, what else will Gu Wenjiao say to you?" ”

Hu Aiyu sighed deeply: "Anyway, on that day, no matter what day of the week, Gu Wenjiao would go to the cemetery early in the morning to sweep the grave, then go to the police station to inquire about the progress, and then sit and eat with me at noon." The first thing he said when he saw me was to ask: Aunt Hu, do you have any new news there? ”

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes flashed: "What is her husband's performance?" ”
