Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

Chapter 127 Chapter 20

Qiu Shaoyang came out of the shower, saw that Mingtang was still awake, and asked him, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Recently, staying up late and working overtime every day, rest is against the clock. After the two of them returned home from the police station, they washed up and went to bed in a hurry. In order to let Mingtang have a better rest, Qiu Shaoyang let Mingtang take a bath first, so he gradually got used to it. Mingtang was already asleep when he came out.

"There are still ten minutes before the new year. It's our first New Year's Eve. There's no reason for me to go to bed first."

Ming Tang felt very sorry for this, the young lovers from another family were all waiting for the New Year's Eve in the square in the city center, but they were at home, and he didn't even have time to prepare a present for Qiu Shaoyang.

Qiu Shaoyang took off his shoes and went to bed with a slight smile, and fell into Mingtang's arms: "Compared to these, I wish you well. You have been so busy these days that you are so tired that I feel sorry for you."

He stroked the dark blue under Mingtang's eyes with his hand.

Mingtang grabbed his hands, kissed his fingertips one by one, and finally pressed him directly to his heart.

When Qiu Shaoyang was with him, he was special in his heart.After he grew up, he hadn't felt such a sense of solidity for a long time, it was his destination.

"There are no gifts for you."

"It's okay, I didn't prepare a gift for you." Qiu Shaoyang said with a smile: "However, I can ask you for a gift later."

Mingtang was a little curious: "What do you want?"

Qiu Shaoyang looked at the time and said, "You will know when the time is up."

"Okay." Mingtang touched Qiu Shaoyang's back with his hands very regularly, "It would be great if time could stand still at this moment."

"not good."

Mingtang's hand stopped, "Why?"

Qiu Shaoyang said: "The future road, if you don't go on, you won't know how beautiful it is. I want to go on with you to see different scenery, meet different people, and experience different things."

"From blue hair to white hair, I want to experience it with you. Isn't it wonderful to stay in this moment for such a life?" Qiu Shaoyang's voice was very soft, very soft, but it could hit Mingtang's heart directly: "Only those who have passed by can be called Life, our life, shouldn't be so short."

"you're right."

Mingtang said cheekily: "I think the most correct thing I did in my life was to kiss you that night."

If there was no impulsive moment that night, they might have gone in opposite directions at this moment.

Qiu Shaoyang chuckled: "It's indeed quite correct."

"Ming team."

Suddenly getting serious, Ming Tang felt a little uncomfortable, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You are mine alone."

"That's natural."

New Year's Eve fireworks bloom in the sky.

According to the regulations of Spring City, during the Spring Festival and New Year's Day, fireworks and firecrackers can be set off, but they must be set off in an open place.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Qiu Shaoyang said to Mingtang: "Close your eyes."

Mingtang obediently closed his eyes, the person in his arms moved, he really wanted to open them to see what he wanted to do, but he promised Qiu Shaoyang that he would close them, so he couldn't go back on his word.

Suddenly, something soft stuck to Mingtang's lips.

He grabbed Qiu Shaoyang's waist and directly switched the positions of the two of them.

He stared deeply at Qiu Shaoyang, and Qiu Shaoyang was also staring at him.

"You are too impatient, you should wait for me and let me kiss you well."

"I can't wait anymore, I can't wait to swallow you right now."

The fire ignited immediately.

When the two of them calmed down, the sheets were already crumpled. Qiu Shaoyang said with a smile: "Those who don't know think we have done something bad."

Ming Tang smiled and pulled back the quilt to cover the two of them: "Is this the gift you and I want?"

"Yes."

"You really are..."

"Really what?"

"It makes my heart beat ten thousand times."

Mingtang was a little dissatisfied: "Just for me [-] times? Is it a little less?"

"Every beat of my heart is for you."

"It's almost there."

Years ago, he was too busy and finally didn't have to go to work. Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang slept together until after ten o'clock before getting up.

After getting a good night's sleep, the spirits of both of them improved a lot.

Qiu Shaoyang was woken up by the phone call.

When he was about to take the mobile phone, Ming Tang had already handed the mobile phone to his eyes.

Qiu Shaoyang took a look, it was Pei Yumin calling, and he turned on the speakerphone.

"Shaoyang."

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Qiu Shaoyang just woke up, his voice was still a little rough, and his nasal voice was thick.

"You are still sleeping?"

Qiu Shaoyang hummed.

Pei Yumin blamed himself a little: "Did I disturb your rest?"

"No." Qiu Shaoyang glanced at Mingtang and said, "We have slept for a long time."

"It's like this. Grandpa asked me to ask if you would go home for dinner tonight. I haven't seen you for a long time. He misses you. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, why don't you just come back and Mingtang will be with you."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Shaoyang yawned big.

"Sleep a little longer?"

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head, "Don't sleep anymore, get up and tidy up, let's go back after lunch."

"It's only past ten o'clock, and I can still make it in time for lunch when I go back now."

"Isn't Lu Changfeng at home alone? Tell him to come over and have lunch together. Anyway, we are on vacation for a few days. How about we stay at home for a few days?"

"I have no opinion."

So the two of them agreed.

Qiu Shaoyang called Lu Changfeng to ask him to have lunch together, but Lu Changfeng had just woken up, so he agreed in a daze.

Mingtang cooked enough dishes for three people.

Although they are neighbors of two pairs of doors, they don't communicate much after returning home.

In the police station, I just look up and see down. The heavy workload makes people tired, and when I go home, I just want to sleep when I fall down, so basically I live separately in private when I don’t have enough time.

Lu Changfeng asked: "What are your plans for the two days of New Year's Day?"

Mingtang said: "Go and see Shaoyang's grandfather, and stay with the old man for a few days."

"That's fine."

"What about you?" Ming Tang looked at Lu Changfeng, Lu Changfeng's condition is not particularly good recently.

"Me?" Lu Changfeng said with a smile, "I don't have any plans. It's been too hard during this period. I don't want to do anything now. I just want to have a good rest. I've been sleep-deprived recently."

"Indeed." Mingtang was deeply touched by this.

Lu Changfeng said: "It's fortunate that Consultant Qiu is here to help us solve the case so quickly, otherwise it would be as simple as a lack of sleep. Consultant Qiu, you are simply a god."

After dinner, Qiu Shaoyang and Ming Tang went back to the Qiu family's old house together.

Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang have been dating for two months, and this is the first real door-to-door visit.

Hearing that they were coming, Aunt Liang had already started preparing the dishes for the evening.

In the past, Mingtang only heard people say that Qiu Shaoyang's house was very grand, but now that he actually saw it, he was still shocked by the sight in front of him.

He understood that sentence thoroughly, that poverty limits imagination.

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang walked into the yard one after another. The yard is full of jasmine flowers, but jasmine flowers don't bloom this season.

After opening the door and entering the house, Aunt Liang soon came to them.

Qiu Shenglin and Pei Yumin are a couple, and Aunt Liang is not at all surprised that the same sex likes each other, so she looks Mingtang up and down.

Qiu Shaoyang asked, "Where's grandpa?"

Aunt Liang said, "It's in the study. Recently, the old man spends time in the study when he has nothing to do."

"Then let's go see Grandpa first."

Aunt Liang nodded: "Go quickly, the old man is waiting for you to come back, and he didn't even take a nap."

Yuxi Qiu Shaoyang led Mingtang to the door of the study, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, then pushed the door open.

Mr. Qiu just raised his head and met their eyes.Smiled and said to them: "Come on, have you had lunch yet?"

"Ate."

Ming Tang called out: "Grandpa."

Mr. Qiu nodded in satisfaction.

Qiu Shaoyang walked to the table and looked at the calligraphy practiced by the old man.

The old man handed the brush to Qiu Shaoyang, "Try it?"

Qiu Shaoyang took the brush from the old man's hand.He knows a little bit of study, but he is not good at it. Today's primary school students can write better than him.

Qiu Shaoyang can write brush calligraphy because his grandma likes calligraphy, and his great-grandfather is quite accomplished in calligraphy, so grandma has been fascinated by it. She has loved calligraphy since she was a child, and she would practice calligraphy for half an hour every morning. This habit lasted until her death.

Mingtang also looked over curiously.

Qiu Shaoyang changed to a new piece of paper, dipped the ink and started to write.

Mingtang and Mr. Qiu watched Qiu Shaoyang write intently.

After finishing writing, Qiu Shaoyang looked like an old man, "How is it, Grandpa?"

Old Man Qiu shook his head: "It's not as good as elementary school students."

That's what he said, but Mingtang saw that the old man took out a long and thin cylinder, pulled out the words inside and put it aside, and when the one written by Qiu Shaoyang was dry, he rolled it up and put it in the cylinder, and placed it Put it in the collection shelf, and said: "I'll let you, Pei Shusu, frame it for me some other day, and hang it in this study."

Only then did Ming Tang take a closer look at the study, there were many calligraphy characters hanging on the wall.

These calligraphy characters are almost all written by Qiu Shaoyang's grandma, not only here, but also in another study room, gradually they are all written by Qiu Shaoyang's grandma.

When Qiu Shaoyang heard that it was going to be framed, he quickly waved his hands: "No, no, my words are too ugly. If you want to frame it, I will write a new one."

Mr. Qiu said: "You don't need to be so troublesome, it's good just like this. It's a little bit worse, but it's not ugly."

In the end, Qiu Shaoyang did not rewrite.

After coming out of the study, the three of them went to the back garden.

In the end it was the motive, the lawn is dry now, and there are no jasmine flowers to see in the yard.

The old man sat down at his usual place, and said: "When the spring blossoms and the jasmine flowers bloom, I will go pick them up and wrap a bunch, and go to see your grandma."

"it is good."

The old man said: "Your grandma likes jasmine."

"She didn't choose among so many beautiful things in this world, but she chose the most ordinary Jasmine."

Just like when so many people liked her, she chose him, a poor and white idiot.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Jasmine is pretty good, not gaudy."

"Extremely like your grandma's character."

Qiu Shaoyang nodded.But he always felt that something was wrong.

The old man said: "In the past, your grandma liked to sit here and read newspapers, or read her favorite books."

Qiu Shaoyang still had the impression: "Yes, at that time I was always Yanyan playing in the yard, and grandma was sitting here watching us, and when I was tired from running, I would ask grandma for water."

At that time, he was carefree, and the outside world was big, but his world was so small that it only had his family and this villa.

When it comes to the past, both of them are very uncomfortable.

Mr. Qiu said: "Go and get the photos of you when you were young, let's take a look together, it's been a long time since I saw it."

Qiu Shaoyang hesitated for a moment, but decided to get it.

Ming Tang looked at Qiu Shaoyang's back going away, feeling uneasy.

The old man said: "I don't have many days."

The old man told him before that he wondered if he could wait for the spring to bloom. Now the old man's complexion looks much worse than before, and his mental state is not as good as before.

"Shaoyang, I'll leave it to you." The old man said, "He likes to hide anything in his heart. I hope you can communicate with him more."

Mingtang nodded: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Shaoyang."

Mingtang couldn't help being worried, considering the old man's current situation, he said, "Are you really not going to tell Shaoyang about your physical condition? You are not afraid, will he regret it?"

Old Man Qiu said with a smile, "My grandson is so smart, do you think he doesn't know? He actually knows everything, but he didn't say anything."

Mingtang felt the same, Qiu Shaoyang was such a smart person, how could he hide it from his eyes.

He felt that his worries were a little unnecessary.

Old Man Qiu smiled gratifiedly: "I'm very happy to see you think about him so much."

Mingtang said: "It should."

"What should it be?" Qiu Shaoyang came back with a photo album, just in time to hear Mingtang's words.

Mingtang said with a smile: "Grandpa said that I would take good care of you, and I said I should."

"Grandpa, you can really rest assured about this. Your grandson has lived with him for two months, and he has gained ten pounds. He is really good at taking care of people." Qiu Shaoyang looked at Mingtang, He found that Ming Tang was also looking at him.

The old man looked at Qiu Shaoyang carefully, and nodded in affirmation: "It's a little fatter. It's a good thing. As I said before, you are too thin. It's better to be fatter, as long as you are not obese."

Qiu Shaoyang pouted.

I have gained ten catties. You can’t see anything by just looking at it, but the clothes will tell you the answer. I used to wear a shirt that was just right, but now I feel a little tight on the upper body.

Qiu Shaoyang sat down, and the three of them began to look at the small movies of Qiu Shaoyang's childhood.

There is no big change between Qiu Shaoyang when he was a child and Qiu Shaoyang now.

Mingtang saw Qiu Shaoyang's deceased parents, sister, and grandmother in the photo album.

They used to be a happy family, but it's a pity that Qiu Shaoyang lost them because of the ship explosion.

Qiu Shaoyang's eyes lingered for a long time on the family portrait taken together on the day his sister tried on the wedding dress.

No one is absent from this photo.

This is also their last family portrait.

Mingtang thought of Uncle Qiu Shaoyang's death again.

At the beginning, Qin Yuan swore that Qiu Shaoyang's death was not caused by a car accident, but that he was burned to death. Ming Tang checked the file again later, and found that he borrowed it from the forensic office.

The dossier can either be obtained from the archives room, but he does not have this authority, and can only be retrieved through the forensic doctor Jiang Hanna.

Later, the cases followed one after another, and he forgot about it.

Thinking about it now, Mingtang was not simply curious about this case.

Qiu Shaoyang is his boyfriend now, and Qiu Shaoyang's uncle is his uncle.When there are doubts about the case, what he should do is to investigate the case thoroughly and give them an explanation.

In the afternoon, the old man went to take a nap, and Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang arranged their time freely.

"Go to my bedroom?" Qiu Shaoyang asked.

Mingtang said decisively: "Go."

Qiu Shaoyang laughed at him: "There is nothing special about my bedroom, don't get excited."

"Your bedroom is already very special."

Qiu Shaoyang felt his heart being squeezed, "Ming team, don't flirt like this, you can't hold it."

Qiu Shaoyang's bedroom is on the second floor. The room is very large and tidy.

It's just that Mingtang didn't expect that what he saw when he opened the door was not a bed, but a small living room with a door on the left and right.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "The one on the left is the bedroom, and the one on the right is the study room. When I was young, it was the place where I did my homework. Now it is the study room. Which side do you want to look at first?"

Mingtang: "Let's study."

Qiu Shaoyang led him away from the study.

There are many books in the study room, of various types, and a whole cabinet is full of books.

There are Chinese and foreign languages, neatly placed.

"Have you seen all of these?"

Qiu Shaoyang nodded: "Yes, this is part of my extracurricular books when I was studying. I don't live here much. I only come to accompany my grandparents during winter and summer vacations."

"Are you talking about the villa in Zijinyuan?"

"Yes, there are more books over there."

Ming Tang held Qiu Shaoyang's hand without saying a word, just pulling.

Qiu Shaoyang looked at him tenderly: "What are you doing?"

"I just thought I found a treasure. How could there be someone like you in the world, who is handsome, rich, smart, motivated, and kind..."

Qiu Shaoyang put his finger on Mingtang's mouth: "Stop boasting, I can't bear it."

Ming Tang laughed and said, "Does this count as marrying into a wealthy family?"

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head: "It doesn't count. You are marrying Bai Fumei at most."

When the two went from the study to the bedroom, Mingtang no longer had the heart to look at what was in the room, and focused on kissing Qiu Shaoyang.

"Do you want to stay here for a while?"

Qiu Shaoyang asked: "Did Grandpa tell you something?"

Mingtang said: "I just think that you usually spend less time at home. Let's spend more time here with grandpa."

Qiu Shaoyang did not believe his words.

"Grandpa must have told you something when he sent me away on purpose. I can guess it if you don't tell me."

It's nothing more than asking Mingtang to take good care of himself, worrying that his time is running out.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "He is my grandfather, the only relative in the world who is still related by blood. Of course, I know his physical condition better than anyone else. Grandpa doesn't want me to suffer too much. Why did I move back home? , but it made Grandpa feel uneasy."

Mingtang could understand Qiu Shaoyang's thoughts, but he still felt a little pity: "In the last period, let's spend more time with Grandpa, and spend one day less."

"Do you think I'm a coward?"

"Why do you think so? I just don't want you to leave any regrets." Mingtang hugged Qiu Shaoyang tightly: "Since you can also accept that Grandpa will pass away, and we all know it well, why do we still do this?" What about your son? Why don't you cherish the time we spent together in the end and make more good memories?"

yes, why?

In fact, in the final analysis, he still didn't want to accept this matter.

And Mingtang saw it.

Ming Tang persuaded: "Move back, and accompany Grandpa to finish the last part of the journey."

Qiu Shaoyang was silent.

Ming Tang didn't continue talking, but gave him time to think slowly.

After a long time, Qiu Shaoyang nodded heavily.

"you're right."

He should cherish the days when he can still be with grandpa.

I didn't wait until my grandfather passed away to repent.

"I will try to accept death."

Mingtang hugged distressedly: "I will be with you, and me."

Qiu Shaoyang's eyes were very sour.

At that time, his hands were patting gently on his back.

I don't know why he suddenly broke down emotionally.

Qiu Shaoyang tried hard to suppress his tears and said: "I have lost too much, really too much. I...I think I may not be able to accept this matter. If... If grandpa really leaves, I will what to do……"

"And me, you are not alone." Ming Tang said firmly, "I will always be by your side."

In the end, Qiu Shaoyang decided to live at home and accompany his grandfather through the last part of his life.

Bae Yoo-min was away from home during the day and came back to have dinner with them at night.

After the meal, Pei Youmin called Qiu Shaoyang to the study and asked him, "How is grandpa doing today?"

Qiu Shaoyang said, "It's not very good."

Pei Yumin sighed: "You have seen the situation, what are your plans?"

"I discussed it with Ming Tang and moved back home. I want to spend more time with Grandpa."

"That's fine. Although Grandpa doesn't say anything, I know he really wants you to be by his side. After all, you are Grandpa's only grandson in this world, and also his only concern." The thing Pei Youmin had been worrying about was finally resolved.

It's not that he never thought of persuading Qiu Shaoyang to go home, but he felt that it would not be easy for Qiu Shaoyang, especially after learning of Qiu Shaoyang's condition, he dared not let him go home to live, fearing that it would be detrimental to Qiu Shaoyang's condition. Before leaving, I still had to worry about Qiu Shaoyang.

Pei Youmin asked Qiu Shaoyang: "Then you moved back, will Mingtang live with you?"

After all, this is a suburb, and it is still far away from their city bureau.It would take two hours to go back to work quickly. According to the current traffic conditions, the morning and evening peak hours may not be enough for three hours, and the police are very busy with their work.

I often dispelled Pei Yumin's worries: "I made an agreement with him, I will stay at home during this time, and he will not come over. If he is on vacation, he will come here to talk to grandpa and stay here for a while."

"That's fine too." Pei Yumin said: "Mingtang is really a good kid, we can rest assured that he is by your side."

Qiu Shaoyang smiled: "That means my vision is not bad."

Pei Youmin also laughed, but his eyes stayed on the photo of him and Qiu Shenglin on the corner of the desk in the study.

They used to be so beautiful.

Seeing that Qiu Shaoyang's condition is gradually improving, Pei Yumin is very pleased.

He also lived up to the entrustment, and he will go underground in a hundred years, and he will have the face to see Qiu Shenglin again.
