Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

Chapter 134 New Year Chapter 1

The phone on the desk rang.

Mingtang was writing the annual report, and after taking a look, it was his mother calling.

Ming Tang answered the phone and asked, "Mom, what's the matter with you?"

Chen Wan said: "The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, are you going home for a reunion on the [-]th this year?"

"Mom, I'm sorry, I won't go home for the New Year's Eve this year. Shaoyang's grandfather is not in good health. This year may be the last year they will be able to reunite together."

A sigh came from the other end of the phone, not because Mingtang couldn't go home for the new year, but because of Grandpa Qiu Shaoyang's body: "Then you can stay in Chuncheng to accompany Shaoyang, this child is really suffering, after the year you two The two of you will come back some time, and we will have a meal together."

"Mom, thank you for your understanding."

Ming Tang made this request, and he also felt sorry for his parents. After all, his elder sister was already married, and when his elder sister got married, she would definitely spend her [-]th year at her in-law's house.If he doesn't go back this year, there will only be his parents at home. Since his father became the chief of the police station, he will preside over the overall situation at the police station every year during the reunion year.

Their family, except for Chen Wan, is a policeman, and it's true that they don't have much free time.

Qiu Shaoyang has been busy buying new year's goods recently, mainly to give gifts to those partners. In the past, Pei Yumin did this. This year, Qiu Shaoyang took the initiative to take over the job. First, considering that Pei Yumin is also getting older, Qiu Shaoyang wants to take on as much as possible. It is my own responsibility to let Pei Yumin relax. Second, I hope to leave more time for Pei Yumin and his father. Although their father and son are not surnamed Qiu, but in Qiu Shaoyang's serious situation, they are both members of the Qiu family.

It was agreed to have dinner at Qiu Shaoyang's grandfather's house, and Ming Tang rushed over after work.

When he arrived, Qiu Shaoyang was sitting in the backyard chatting with his grandfather.

Most of them were talking about the company's future development. The old man wanted to see Qiu Shaoyang's opinion. Mingtang felt that he couldn't help, so he helped Aunt Liang cook Qiu Shaoyang's favorite dishes in the kitchen.

At the dinner table, the old man asked, "How do you arrange for the New Year this year?"

Qiu Shaoyang had thought about this issue before, but he hadn't discussed it with Mingtang yet, and he didn't have a plan yet.

Mingtang said: "I have already told my family that Shaoyang and I will stay in Chuncheng during the Chinese New Year this year, and we will take time to bring Shaoyang back to Shicheng for two days after the New Year."

The old man thought for a while and said: "This is not good. This year is the first year of the New Year's Eve between the two of you. We have met the parents of both sides before. The relationship between the two of you is also recognized by our parents. In the current domestic environment, it is really impossible for you to obtain a marriage certificate, but if you both live together, then we are both in-laws, and we still have to move around during the Chinese New Year. I am not in good health, so I cannot go with Shaoyang Your family visits relatives, and this matter will be handed over to You Ming."

Mingtang nodded: "Then that's fine too, just follow what Grandpa said."

Qiu Shaoyang and Pei Yumin looked at each other, and both felt that what Grandpa said was reasonable.

Qiu Shaoyang actually understood it in his heart, and his grandfather himself knew his own physical condition. The reason why he facilitated the movement between the two families was a kind of support in disguise, so that the Mingtang family could accept him as soon as possible. After he left, Qiu Shaoyang was alone.

Pei Yoomin naturally understood the old man's painstaking efforts, and would try his best to complete this matter.

After the meal, Qiu Shaoyang and Pei Yumin went to the study to talk about New Year's gift giving, while the old man let Mingtang push him for a walk outside.

The air at the end of the year was still relatively cool, so Qiu Shaoyang took a blanket for the old man to cover, and put a coat on Ming Tang, not forgetting to tell: "Don't go too far, and don't go too long, it's easy to get cold when the wind blows too much." cold."

Mingtang said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

The Qiu family's old house covers a large area and has a golf course. When the old man just retired, he would often play golf with his friends.

At that time, Qiu Shaoyang's grandma was sitting under the eaves, or in the pavilion, meeting some good sisters, eating snacks and drinking afternoon tea together.

When the old man is not playing, the entire golf course is where Qiu Shaoyang rolls and plays.

Walking slowly around the flat road beside the court, the old man said: "In a blink of an eye, decades have passed. When this house was built, Shaoyang was not even born. Now, in a blink of an eye, there are people around Shaoyang." You have also reached the age of starting a family, if his parents know, they will definitely be very pleased."

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

The old man said: "Of course I know that you will take good care of him. I think that when I chased Shaoyang's grandma back then, she was much younger than you are now. I like someone's eyes and I can't deceive others. I can see that you are also very Prudent, I have nothing to worry about leaving Shaoyang to you, it's just that Shaoyang likes to keep things in his heart and doesn't like to express them, so you need to be more tolerant of him."

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be by his side."

The old man nodded and sighed, "Fortunately, he met you."

Ming Tang smiled lightly: "Meeting him is also my luck."

The old man remembered that year. He was just an ordinary rural child. Qiu Shaoyang's grandmother Song Chunlan was the eldest lady of a famous family in Chuncheng. His cousin from the same village was working at Song Chunlan's house. Mother asked her to bring some clothes to her cousin. He waited at the door and saw Song Chunlan who had returned from studying abroad from a distance. She was dressed in a foreign style, with exquisite makeup and beautiful high heels, which was more beautiful than he had seen in the cinema. All female stars are beautiful.

At that time, Mr. Song naturally did not agree with his precious daughter to marry a poor boy like him, but no one could stop his love with Song Chunlan. The two-way love crossed classes. Both Mr. Song and the old lady stayed abroad. Yang Yang is also relatively open-minded, and they are all romantic people. Seeing his persistence, they were also moved by him and entrusted their only daughter to him.

Facts have proved that the two elders did not choose the wrong person.After marrying Song Chunlan, they have always been very sweet, and his career has gradually improved, getting better and better, until he became the richest man in Chuncheng. He and Song Chunlan have been in love for many years, and it was not until the accident in Biluowan that they were separated forever. .

He also liked someone with joy, so he could understand Ming Tang.

As for Mingtang's family background, he didn't care much.

After thinking too much, those who have passed away will emerge. After all, this house is a place where a family lives. After so many years, it has naturally left a lot of memories.

Qiu Shaoyang stood at the window of the study, looking at Ming Tang and the old man who were walking around the road below, feeling hopeless in his heart.

He knew that grandpa was leaving soon.But he couldn't keep it.

Pei Youmin stretched out his hand, put it on Qiu Shaoyang's shoulder, and patted it lightly.

After sending the old man back to his room, Ming Tang went back to his room and called his mother again, conveying Grandpa Qiu Shaoyang's thoughts to his parents.

After Chen Wan heard this, she immediately made a decision: "The old man is right. Normally, our two families are going to move around. How about this? You don't have to go back to Shicheng. When the time comes, your dad and I will take Some gifts, go to Spring City to pay New Year's greetings to the old man, and also reunite with you by the way, so that the old man can see our heart, even if he is gone in the future, our Ming family will treat Shaoyang as our own family member, take care treat him well."

Mingtang was almost thirty, and he was made to cry because of his fucking empathy.

Touched to say: "Mom, thank you."

Chen Wan: "Thank you, we are all family."

Then Chen Wan said: "It's getting late, go to bed early."

After Hu Dao said good night, Chen Wan added another sentence: "When you are fine, you should be more concerned and less concerned."

"understood."

After he finished taking a shower, Qiu Shaoyang had already returned to the bedroom, and he was using the computer and didn't know what he was looking at.

Mingtang said: "Do you still want to watch something at such a late hour?"

Qiu Shaoyang took off his glasses and put them aside and said, "It's not like the company is on holiday to deal with some emails, and some emails have piled up and haven't been processed. Foreign customers basically don't have a break, you know."

Mingtang bowed his head and kissed him: "Let's deal with it tomorrow, it's really too late tonight, take a shower, it's time to get ready for bed."

Qiu Shaoyang said: "There are still many things to do tomorrow."

"I'll help you."

Qiu Shaoyang hummed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

This is Qiu Shaoyang celebrating the new year with his grandfather after many years, and it will also be their last year.

Although there was no one in the family, except for the grandparents and grandchildren, Qiu Shaoyang still bought a lot of new year's goods.

The Qiu family has not seen any visitors during the Chinese New Year for many years, and there will not be many children coming to their house. The only family that is still somewhat related by blood is the Qiu Tianhao family, but the two of them have not been in touch for many years.

The Qiu family's New Year's goods are divided into two parts, one part is bought by the Qiu family itself, and the other part is sent by others.

Even so, one of the warehouses of the Qiu family was still full.

Qiu Shaoyang asked someone to find a big cart, and the wine was left in the wine cellar, and all other things were taken to nearby nursing homes or welfare homes. They couldn't eat it, and keeping it was a waste. Instead, Better to give to those in need.

The Qiu family had their own way of dealing with people, Ming Tang was very touched by this, and offered to help move them into the car.

When the 29th year came, everyone in the Qiu family gathered together to cut the window grilles.

The tradition of cutting window grilles has been passed down from the older generation. At this time of year, members of the Qiu family will gather together to cut window grilles.

The old man cut a flower, a jasmine, to commemorate his deceased wife.

Qiu Shaoyang helped Aunt Liang cut the window grilles with ease, Ming Tang never thought that Qiu Shaoyang could cut the window grilles so well, so he learned from Qiu Shaoyang.

Later, Qiu Shaoyang helped him draw a picture on red paper with a pencil, the content of the picture was the two of them, and asked Ming Tang to cut it according to the lines in the picture.

This scene was seen by Pei Yumin, and he thought of Qiu Shenglin who had passed away for many years.

Qiu Shenglin is very good at paper cutting, and he still has the paper cut by Qiu Shenglin in his wallet.

At this moment, he only hoped that Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang would never become like them.

Qiu Shaoyang cut the window grille and unfolded it, and showed it to Aunt Liang: "Aunt Liang, how are you doing?"

Aunt Liang smiled and said, "Very good."

Qiu Shaoyang began to cut a pair.

The old man looked out of the French windows, Pei Yumin looked at Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang, and old man Pei looked at his son.

In each of them, there is someone they care about.

In the early hours of the morning, I finished cutting all the red paper before calling it a day.

Qiu Shaoyang's hands were already stained red.

Washing off the red dye on his fingers at the sink, Qiu Shaoyang saw it as blood for a moment.

At that moment, his head was about to explode.

In his dreams, he had dreamed of the scene of Biluowan countless times.

Mingtang came to wash his hands just in time, and noticed his strangeness, he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"

Qiu Shaoyang slowed down for a moment, then shook his head: "It's okay, I just lowered my head and cut things for too long, and I feel a little dizzy, and I'll be fine in a while."

Mingtang was worried, so he asked him to go back to his room to rest, and he helped Aunt Liang pack up all the things.

The next morning they had to get up and put on window grilles.

When Mingtang returned to the room, Qiu Shaoyang sat on the bed, his expression not very good.

Ming Tang squatted in front of him, held his hand, and asked: "What's wrong, do you need to call the doctor to come and have a look?"

Qiu Shaoyang hugged Mingtang's neck abnormally and did not let go, and whispered in his ear, "I haven't celebrated the New Year for a long time."

"I know." Ming Tang lightly rubbed the back of Qiu Shaoyang's head, and said, "I'm here. I'll be with you."

Qiu Shaoyang's tears fell on the back of Mingtang's neck: "I miss them, I really feel like them, I am very lonely."

It was past midnight, and some parts of the city were allowed to set off fireworks.

The sound of the fireworks blooming, even though it was very small to them, could still be heard.

Qiu Shaoyang cried and said: "The last Chinese New Year, my parents, grandma, and sister were still there, and my sister was holding my arm, looking forward to marrying his sweetheart since junior high school. They finally got together. You know, I accompanied my sister to try on the wedding dress, and he held my arm with a happy expression on his face. At that time, I felt that I was the happiest person in the world, and I had grandparents who loved me , there are parents who care about me and love me, there are sisters who rely on me to be close to me, and Uncle Pei who treats me as his own son."

The person he loves crying in front of him, but he can't help, Mingtang feels very powerless about it.

His family passed away, and Qiu Shaoyang never came out.

Qiu Shaoyang is a very affectionate and righteous person, so how could he be able to let go of the past casually?

Ming Tang could only say over and over again: "I am here."

Trauma can heal, but psychologically it is not so easy to heal.

Mingtang hugged Qiu Shaoyang tightly.

When Qiu Shaoyang was tired from crying, he calmed down, his eyes were already red.

Ming Tang felt very distressed.

But Qiu Shaoyang said to him, "I'm sorry."

Mingtang held Qiu Shaoyang's face and looked at himself: "You didn't apologize to me, I should be the one to apologize, and I failed to help you get out of the pain."

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head: "It's not your fault."

"My arms will always be open to you."

This night, Qiu Shaoyang slept extremely dishonestly, he kept babbling in his dreams, sometimes cried and sometimes laughed, he dreamed a lot, Ming Tang could only keep patting his back, repeating this action over and over again.

Mingtang didn't find it difficult, but felt sorry for Qiu Shaoyang.

The ordinary Qiu Shaoyang seemed to be fine, but there were too many things buried in his heart.

The death of his family, he will never let go of it in his life.

Mingtang thought, if it were him, he might not be able to let go.

After all, it is the family who loves him deeply.

They met downstairs in the morning, and none of them had a good rest.

Qiu Shenglin was thinking about his lover who had passed away for almost 13 years, while Mr. Qiu was thinking about his late wife, children and granddaughter.

He thinks he is worthy of anyone, but he is the one who died of his wife and children early, and he is the one who turned his brother against him, but the person who worries him the most is Qiu Shaoyang. Even if he breathes harder, there will be ripples in his heart. Death is a kind of relief for him, but for Qiu Shaoyang, it will be a kind of torture.

After he left, could Qiu Shaoyang hold on?

After breakfast on New Year's Eve, couplets will be posted.

In the past, the couplets were all written by grandma, and grandma wrote good handwriting. Now that grandma is not here, this year's couplets are naturally written by Qiu Shaoyang.

Aunt Liang brought the inkstone and laid out the paper.

Mingtang doesn't know how to study ink. Originally, Pei Yumin said he would go, but the old man refused. He wanted to study ink for Qiu Shaoyang while he still had some strength and could not move at all. time.

Qiu Shaoyang's handwriting was taught/taught by his grandmother, and his grandmother's shadow is everywhere between the lines.

Looking at the words written by Qiu Shaoyang, the old man's eyes were full of longing for his dead wife.

When people are dying, they will always recall the past.

Song Chunlan was the person he loved the most in his life, and what he recalled were all the little things he had with Song Chunlan.

Mingtang couldn't help with ink research, so he and Pei Youmin helped Aunt Liang to post couplets.

Qiu Shaoyang's handwriting may not be appreciated by famous people, but to Mingtang, it is excellent.

I don't know when it started, but the most content in his circle of friends is about Qiu Shaoyang.

He didn't hide his relationship with Qiu Shaoyang, and his profile picture was replaced with a paper-cut made by Qiu Shaoyang.

Standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Qiu Shaoyang's side face while writing couplets inside, he couldn't bear to look away.

Qiu Shaoyang felt his gaze, turned his head to see it, met his gaze, and smiled slightly.

Mingtang smiled back at him, and then went to post a pair of couplets.

Eating dumplings during Chinese New Year is a tradition in most places, and the Qiu family is no exception.

Although Qiu Shaoyang doesn't cook, his skills in making dumplings are not bad.

It stems from the fact that the Qiu family will make dumplings together during the Chinese New Year for many years.

With such an atmosphere, Ming Tang couldn't help but think about what it would be like if everyone else was still there.

It must be very lively and happy.

It's just a pity that there is no if.

Aunt Liang went to cook dumplings for them, and the old man handed each of them a red envelope.

On New Year's Eve, be auspicious.

During lunch, Mingtang called his parents, and Qiu Shaoyang also greeted his parents.

The kindness of Mingtang's parents warmed Qiu Shaoyang, and the other party also specially said hello to Qiu Shaoyang's grandfather.

The old man is still very pleased that the other party is so caring.

In the afternoon, Qiu Shaoyang and the others pushed Grandpa to the cemetery to worship.

The first time Ming Tang followed Qiu Shaoyang to worship his parents, he immediately thought of his biological parents.

When Qiu Shaoyang knelt down to kowtow to his parents and grandma, Mingtang also knelt down along with him.

Qiu Shaoyang was a little surprised, but Mingtang held his hand and said, "Grandma, uncles and aunts, don't worry, I will take good care of Shaoyang."

The sadness that Qiu Shaoyang had been deliberately suppressing all this time completely collapsed after Ming Tang finished speaking.

Qiu Shaoyang's cries were heard in the cemetery.

The old man signaled Pei Yumin to take him away first, leaving time for the two young men.

Pei Youmin took one last look at Qiu Shenglin's tombstone, and pushed the old man away.

In the future, he will also be buried with Qiu Shenglin, because it was originally a double tomb.

When only Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang were left in the cemetery, Qiu Shaoyang stopped suppressing them.

All the emotions are in the crying.

This time, Mingtang did not comfort Qiu Shaoyang over and over again like last night, because he knew that what Qiu Shaoyang needed at this moment was his warm embrace and a quiet environment, where he could vent his emotions and release his sadness.

Mingtang was also more determined, no matter what happened, he would stand firmly with Qiu Shaoyang and be his backing.

The author has something to say:

The smart kids in this volume must have guessed what it means.

The pits in the first case and the second case will be filled in the second half.

In the last case, I saw someone asking if Lu Changfeng would be transferred in the later stage. In this book, Lu Changfeng and Mingtang will accompany everyone in the Serious Case Brigade to the end.

Lu Changfeng is also very capable. As Mingtang's half-master, he is Mingtang's best partner, best friend, best brother, and the soul of the Serious Crime Squad. Xiaoding and Lanning are also brought out by him. , Such a person should have a bigger stage and go to a more shining place.

Based on the moments in Yu Xi's novels, Lu Changfeng was already 35 years old when he left the Spring City Bureau, and Jing Jue, who was in the capital at that time, was about to graduate from the police academy.

Jing Juehui and Lu Changfeng continued to lead in the serious case investigation team.

Mingtang has already found the person he wants to spend his life with, and he is destined not to go to other places like Lu Changfeng.
