Madness of the Heart

Chapter 186 Fighting insects (36)

Under the golden light, the dark brown crock was shiny and smooth. Ming Shu sat on the side of the dining table, clutching the edge of the table with both hands, pursing his lips, staring, and staring at Xiao Yuan who was opposite—

“Does it hurt to stare so wide?” Xiao Yuan was holding the bowl towel in his right hand and was about to uncover the lid of the earthen jar.

“Are you doing a slow motion show?” Ming Shu dissatisfied: “Hurry up!”

Xiao Yuan simply put down the bowl towel.

“Let you hurry, you didn’t even do it in slow motion?” Ming Shu yelled angrily, “Brother!”

“It’s not that I don’t want to hurry up, it’s that there is a bit of emptiness here.” Xiao Yuan pointed to his chest.

Ming Shu yelled, “What are you imaginary about my soup?”

“It’s just because this is your soup that I’m imaginary.” Xiao Yuan smiled and said: “You count, how many times have you broken the soup? I’m under a lot of pressure.”

Ming Shu stretched out his hand to lift the lid, “I should be stressed! You are a big ghost! Ouch-”

The earthen jar is burned on the stove, and the lid has not cooled down shortly after it is brought out.

Ming Shu grabbed the lid anxiously, and Xiao Yuan hit the back of his hand before his fingertips touched him.

“Hot.” Xiao Yuan said and picked up the bowl towel again. With a “knang”, the lid was lifted, and the heat instantly turned into white mist, rising under the warm light.

Mingshu rubbed the back of his hand and couldn’t wait to scoop up a bowl, “Try it!”

Xiao Yuan took it, “Do you know why you broke the soup, I am stressed? Because I not only want to drink them, but also pretend that it is not bad to drink.”

Ming Shu’s eyelids twitched fiercely, “Xiao Yuan! Have you mocked your boyfriend like this?”

Xiao Yuan smiled and wanted to taste it.

Ming Shu immediately held his breath, as if he was drinking the soup at this time.

The pea ribs soup was boiled in a crock pot all afternoon, fresh ribs plus a few pieces of cured ribs from home to enhance the flavor. Before Xiao Yuan came back from get off work, he did almost nothing. He just guarded the crock pot and stirred it from time to time. He received video guidance from his sister Xiao Jinlan. From then on, he would say goodbye to the business of “family cooking husband”.

Xiao Yuan put down the bowl, with a smile in his eyes.

“Don’t patronize and laugh!” Ming Shu said inwardly. He stewed lotus root soup the day before yesterday, and Xiao Yuan laughed after trying it. He thought he was in the middle of Xiao Yuan’s heart, but Xiao Yuan told him, “Lotus root is very good, and the meat is also good, but the chef may have dozed off during the operation.”

“The chef didn’t doze off today.” Xiao Yuan said: “The chef also tasted it himself.”

Mingshu’s eyes lit up, “In other words, the taste is not bad?”

Xiao Yuan nodded, “I have done my best since serving as a’family cook’.”

Ming Shu was satisfied, and he scooped four spoons into his sea bowl-at home, his bowl was bigger than Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan’s bowl was normal size, and his was a sea bowl.

To be honest, this soup didn’t taste much better. Compared with Xiao Yuan’s craftsmanship, it was far behind. But when it comes to cooking, Ming Shu is strict with others and treats himself with mercy. As long as Xiao Yuan doesn’t say it is unpalatable, he thinks it’s almost fine.

What’s more, he didn’t know how to cook any dishes before, and it’s amazing that novices can learn this level!

“How are your legs today?” Xiao Yuan asked while washing the dishes.

Ming Shu leaned against the wall of the kitchen and gently lifted his right leg. “It hurts occasionally and itching. It will be fine to go to the bureau next week.”

There was a bowl to be washed in the sink, Xiao Yuan’s sleeves were pulled up to his elbows, his wrists were wet, and his wrist bones looked strong and stylish.

In the past, cooking belongs to Xiao Yuan, and washing dishes belongs to Ming Shu. Recently, Ming Shu injured his leg. After he was discharged from the hospital, he recovered from the injury at home. For the first time in many years, he took a long vacation. The mood is passing.

Xiao Yuan didn’t fake it. Although Liang Zhao carried half of the pressure of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he still needed to take charge of a lot of work. Xun Xiaoyun shot Ming Shu in the chest. The shot was tricky and didn’t hurt the vitals. Xun Xiaoyun took his life back in the hospital and faced physical evidence. After a long interrogation, he finally confessed to the crime. .

One case was closed, but more cases involved in it still await further investigation.

Although He Yang and Yin Zhen have died under Xun Xiaoyun’s revenge blade, the victims who died in their hands still need to be verified one by one. The special operations team decided not long ago to dig deep into similar “bug games” across the country, and will never condone crimes based on the background and identity of the perpetrators.

After a long period of psychological treatment, Hu Ying’s situation stabilized, and he officially confessed that he had killed Sheng Zhi in He Yang’s game and became an important witness. At that time, Mingshu was still in the hospital. He came to visit Mingshu accompanied by the criminal police. The facial features are still the same as those of the past. However, the glorious celebrity aura of the past has disappeared from him, but in contrast, he has more eyes. The vitality of ordinary people.

“Thank you.” He bent down, his voice was low, with a hint of tremor, as if finally freed, “I am responsible for everything I do and accept all the punishment I deserve. After this, I want to take me One for my sister, one for Sheng Zhi, to be a new man and live earnestly.”

Without Ming Shu, the crime team was in chaos for a few days before all the work gradually returned to the right track. Fang Yuanhang, Xu Chun, and Yi Fei were temporarily assigned to the special operations team because they were familiar with the He Yang case. They are not expected to return until next week. In the “ghost card” case, Xiang Tao, who has been selected by the Criminal Investigation Bureau, has become a major player. A member of the case team.

“Go into the house and sit.” Xiao Yuan put the washed bowl on the counter and wiped the water from his hands. “The doctor said you can’t stand up all the time.”

“The doctor also said that I should receive an appropriate amount of massage every day.” Ming Shu smiled, meaning something.

Xiao Yuan said: “Which day did you miss the massage?”

Ming Shu said: “Today.”

The TV in the living room is on and the volume is turned down very low. The “family cooking husband” who has been busy all day holding a tablet and staying in the live broadcast room of “Clouds and all provinces”, while eating sliced ​​yellow peaches, while buying those little things that are not practical.

Xiao Yuan is massaging his gunshot leg.

“Brother, open your mouth.” Ming Shu didn’t forget to feed Xiao Yu’an peaches after buying and buying. He bought this box of yellow peaches when he watched the live broadcast. Half of them were eaten directly and the other half was canned in syrup.

Xiao Yuan took it and asked, “What did you like again?”

“How about this pot?” Ming Shu said, “I want to change our pot.”

Xiao Yuan said: “It’s not necessary to switch, but you can buy it.”

“This sentence doesn’t make sense.” Ming Shu said in an analysis of the case: “Since there is no need to change to a new pot, why buy it? A waste of money.”

“Because you want to buy.” Xiao Yuan said: “The important thing is not whether to change the pot, but whether you are happy.”

“Oh!” Ming Shu placed the order immediately, “Brother, you are afraid that you are going to train me to become a prodigal son.”

Xiao Yuan squeezed his leg with a slight or heavy squeeze, “You don’t need to train, you are already.”

Ming Shu retracted his leg, “Don’t squeeze it anymore.”

Xiao Yuan stood up, leaned close, sank, and put his hands on the back of the sofa, completely enclosing Mingshu in the shadow.

Ming Shu shrank falsely, “What are you doing? It’s blocking my light!”

“I suddenly remembered that someone did not listen to the leadership’s order and acted without authorization.” Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes, his vision was a little dangerous.

“I can’t help it.” Ming Shu knew what Xiao Yuan was referring to. At that time, in Xiangshan City, Xun Xiaoyun suddenly appeared. Although Xiao Yuan had warned him in advance, he should stay in the city bureau before the backup arrived and he should not act rashly. Regardless of his own safety, he tried his best to catch up.

Although he was able to save Xiang Lin and finally arrest Xun Xiaoyun, although he was well prepared and powerful, it also had luck.

If he failed to subdue all the mercenaries in that shootout, if the bullet hit his leg hits bones or arteries, if Xiao Yuan failed to arrive in time, if any of the three people missed during the bomb disposal process, the consequences would be All lose all.

“You also said that someone must catch up with the situation at that time.” Ming Shu took a breath, “I’m there, I must act.”

“Yeah.” Xiao Yuan’s voice was mellow, and the dark light in his eyes quietly changed. Ming Shu saw himself in his eyes.

“You did the right thing. But I still feel angry and don’t want to forgive you easily.” Xiao Yuan said: “Because you are not only my subordinate, but also my partner.”

The tail of Ming Shu’s eyes trembled, and his heart hung up and was held gently.

“Sense and emotion coexist, but they contradict each other.” Xiao Yuan moved his right hand from the back of the sofa and stroked Mingshu’s cheek, just like when he was on the roof of the abandoned building that day, she was angry again.

Ming Shu closed his eyes slightly, rubbed his rough palm, turned his face, and kissed the tiger’s mouth, “I understand.”

Xiao Yuan moved his fingers from his cheeks to his chin, and then pinched his chin.

His eyes intertwined gently, getting closer and closer, Ming Shu raised his neck and kissed Xiao Yuan’s lips, almost saying in breath, “Brother, you can punish me.”

Xiao Yuan smiled connivingly and picked him up.

Before officially returning to work, Ming Shu went to see a psychologist.

He thought he had no psychological problems, but Xueba’s unintentional words made him a little bit minded.

“You can only see people who are better than you in your eyes, and you won’t look back at those who are chasing you.”

He never paid attention to Xun Xiaoyun when he was in college or in the past year or two. I have been idle for a while, and I have more things to think about. He became confused, wondering if his character and unintentional actions had hurt those around him.

The psychologist said that he could try to communicate with colleagues.

“Xiao Ming!” Fang Yuanhang had finished his work in the special operations team, and returned with Yi Fei and Xu Chun, almost rushing to give Mingshu a bear hug.

However, the run was close. Thinking about the “wonderful” relationship between his master and Xiao Ju, he quickly “reined in the precipice”, and he just retracted the outstretched hand.

Ming Shu took a look at his apprentice, “Is’Xiao Ming’ used to calling?”

Fang Yuanhang happily said, “That is, I went to the special operations team this time and heard them say “Xiao Ming”, and I was very kind.”

Ming Shu wanted to kick Fang Yuanhang, and Fang Yuanhang ran away all at once.

Just after returning, there were not many things at hand. Ming Shu signed a few documents that he needed to check in the morning, and sat in the office to observe his team members. The serious crime team finished the observation, and ran to the scar inspection, forensic, and technical investigation side for a stroll.

Zhou Yuan was very affectionate, and she was still drinking strawberries and peaches. Xing Mu murmured, “Leaders never make people feel at ease”, and then stuffed Ming Shu’s hand with an amulet that was said to have been enlightened. Xiao Man originally wanted to ask him to smoke in the lounge and talk about the psychology of an older single man. When he thought that he had just been injured, it was best not to smoke, so he postponed this historic conversation again.

When returning to the crime team, Ming Shu looked at Yi Fei, and stopped talking.

His deputy captain will get married in the second half of the year, and the subject is the female criminal police officer of the Dongcheng branch.

He still didn’t say what he wanted to say, and Ming Shu walked to his seat.

Not long after, Yi Fei came by himself, “Did you want to tell me something just now?”

Ming Shu said: “I was thinking, how big a red envelope I have to seal you when you get married.”

Yi Fei smiled and raised his hand, “Go out and breathe out?”

The weather is getting hot, but it hasn’t reached the point where the sun is like blazing fire. There is wind on the terrace, the sun is about to go down, and golden brilliance is sprinkling all corners of the city.

Ming Shu looked in the direction of the special police corps and happened to see Lu Yanzhou training the new special police, roaring and full of vitality on the playground.

That was how he came back then.

“Xiao Ming.” Yi Fei said, “You have something on your mind. There was something wrong when I came back from Xiangshan City. I wanted to ask when I visited you in the hospital last time, what’s wrong?”

Ming Shu took a long breath, stayed silent for a long time, putting away his usual joke, “I…Is there any time when I make you think I’m not a competent captain?”

Yi Fei said, “Why do you think so?”

Ming Shu deliberated for a while, and told Yi Fei about Xueba’s evaluation and his thoughts when he was recovering from his injury. Rarely, there was a little confusion in his eyes, “Maybe because I am the person involved, so my heart is always blocked these days.”

“Come on, Xiao Ming.” Yi Fei pushed Ming Shu’s shoulder and pointed to his face, “Can you see me?”

Ming Shu smiled helplessly, “I’m not blind.”

“You can see me, you can also see your apprentice, Xu Chun, Zhou Yuan, Xing Mu, Xiao Man, and Xiang Tao.” Yi Fei said sternly: “Aren’t we all your chasers? How can you say you Can’t see anyone chasing you?”

Ming Shu opened his mouth, and the light in his eyes turned moving.

“Your classmate said that. I think he was talking about you when he was in college. Isn’t that normal? Who didn’t look like’I’m No. 1 in the world’ in their early twenties?” Yi Fei said, “As for Xun Xiaoyun You don’t have to care about those fallacies.”

“I am not as talented and aura as you are. I am destined to not be able to lead the crime team alone. Just like the Liang team, there are insurmountable limitations.” Yi Fei said again: “I…”

Ming Shu interrupted: “You are not.”

“No, Xiaoming, don’t interrupt, just listen to me.” Yi Fei continued, “I sometimes feel unwilling, but I never feel ashamed of it. On the contrary, I know that my strengths can help you coordinate better. The work of the serious crime team.”

Ming Shu nodded slightly, “Yeah.”

“Isn’t that right?” Yi Fei smiled: “You have seen me, and you have seen my role. Next, your apprentice Fang Yuanhang, you discovered his potential early in the morning, and he was almost brought out by you. , Did you see him? You have to say there is no him in your eyes, and he appointed to be angry with you.”

Ming Shu smiled, “This is true.”

“Da Xu, he did a good job with the special police, but his ability can be maximized on our criminal investigation side. Did you dug him up?”

“Zhou Yuan. This kid has a low self-esteem because he is not a genius. Who told him that he is an indispensable member of the serious crime team? Xiao Ming, you made Zhou Yuan no longer inferior.”

Ming Shu looked into the distance, the depression in his heart was gradually dissipating.

“The same goes for Xiao Man and Teacher Xing.” Yi Fei said, “Xiao Man is a little bit awkward. Teacher Xing hates leadership. Xiao Man will convince you, let alone Teacher Xing.”

“Xiao Ming, the one who can’t see the chaser is you when you are in school, now you have everyone on your team in your eyes.”

Ming Shu held the railing in both hands, a light blue vein floated on the back of his hand, and said for a long time: “I have even learned psychological counseling. I really can’t lack you on my team.”

Yi Fei squinted at the sunset, “That is.”

It is rare for the crime team not to work overtime. Fang Yuanhang hummed a song to pack his things. When a voice message came in from his mobile phone, he listened to it and said hurriedly: “Here is here, wait!”

Ming Shu shouted: “Come back.”

Fang Yuanhang said, “Xiao Ming, isn’t it, there is a case?”

Ming Shu said, “There is no case. Why are you in a hurry?”

“Scare me.” Fang Yuanhang wiped his sweat, “invite friends to dinner.”

“Yu Dalong?”

“Master’s magical calculation!”

Ming Shu waved his hand, “Go, you should invite Yu Dalong back to dinner.”

Fang Yuanhang grabbed his hair and smiled, “Then I’m leaving, see you tomorrow!”

Everyone retreated one after another, but Ming Shu didn’t rush to leave, he drew back his stuff, and then took a nap on the table.

He heard the familiar footsteps in the corridor, but he did not immediately raise his head.

The footsteps approached and stopped at the table.

“Team Ming.” Xiao Yuan said warmly: “Go home.”

Ming Shu opened his eyes and stretched, “There is no’boyfriend brand’ hot soup tonight.”

Xiao Yuan said: “Celebrate your return, go out to eat tonight.”

The car was parked in the business district that was on duty on New Year’s Eve, and the hands that could not be held when watching the New Year’s Eve fireworks show were finally held together. Mingshu used to only go to restaurants that didn’t have to wait in line when eating alone, but now he always chooses places with more than ten tables.

Anyway, Xiao Yuan was with him.

The restaurant business behind them was booming, and there was a lot of people talking. The two stood on a platform with a wide view, chatting without a word, from the trivial things at home to Xiao Jincheng who was alive after healed, and also said that the special operations team targeted the “bug game”. The large-scale investigative operation finally settled on the police situation in Dongye City.

Ming Shu said, “Brother, I want to ask you a question.”

Xiao Yuan turned his head, “Huh?”

“This year you came to Dongye City, you have contributed a lot to every case, and the work efficiency of the crime team has improved a lot.” Ming Shu said: “Occasionally, I feel that you are transferred here just to help me. Investigate the case.”

Xiao Yuan turned the person around, his eyes touched.

The corners of Ming Shu’s lips moved, “Brother.”

“It’s to help you investigate the case.” Xiao Yuan said: “It’s also to stay with you for a long time.”

Time stopped for a moment, Ming Shu’s eyebrows were slightly bent, “I knew it.”

“Guest 085, have dinner!”

The store’s enthusiastic shouts came, and Xiao Yuan patted Ming Shu’s wrist and smiled: “It’s here for us.”

The author has something to say:

Finished writing. Thank you for subscribing, commenting, rewarding, and sending starfish readers. In writing this article, I have some gains and many regrets. Since I started writing, I have written a total of three criminal investigation articles. The first one is “Brother Ran”. The case was not well written, so I wrote “Heart Toxin”. There are also many regrets in “Heart Toxin”, such as poorly written supporting roles. The facts of the case were not dramatic enough, so I wrote “Heart Madness”, each of which makes up for the regret of the previous one, but “Heart Madness” still has regrets. At present, I do not intend to write the fourth criminal investigation to make up for the regret of “Heart Madness”. Looking forward, try new themes, maybe suspense with fantasy factors (I always like suspense). In short, thanks to the readers who follow the article all the way. Code is the only interesting thing in my life lacking. I don’t feel tired. I am anxious every day without code, and you have worked so hard to accompany me.
