Ruby cake store, is the childhood memories of many old Huzhou people.

Qingcheng Xie is no exception.

At that time, the cake store on Huashan Road with the words "Sino-British Cooperation Ruby" was the place where Ping Xie and Muying Zhou would take Qingcheng Xie to buy cakes on his birthday when he was a child.

Creamy squares, chestnut cups and whipped cream were also the treats that Qingcheng Xie's parents would smile and reward him with after his exam results.

To be honest, if Yu He sends Qingcheng Xie a pastry from an online cake store, it will probably be expensive and unpalatable, and Qingcheng Xie will not appreciate it.

Ruby is not the same.

Although it's not expensive, just over two hundred, Yu He guesses that Qingcheng Xie is sentimental about this cake - he could see Qingcheng Xie is a very sentimental person at the two yuan milk tea store in Yijia Village.

And now it seems, his guess was not wrong.

"I also asked the store for musical candles." Yu He saw Qingcheng Xie's expression soften slightly, so he took advantage of the heat and said.

Qingcheng Xie : "...... candles again. You're having trouble with candles tonight."

"It's fun, the Lotus Candle."

When Yu He unwrapped the candle, Qingcheng Xie, who is light-hearted, finally could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "...... it ...... still hasn't changed? "

It was Yu He's turn to be surprised: "You've played with this?"

"Played when I was eight years old."

Qingcheng Xie, with his hands in his trouser pockets, approached, stood in front of the table, and picked up with some interest the plastic lotus lamp, which now looked very poor quality. He examined the lamp carefully for a while, and said to Yu He: "Go and turn off the chandelier."

Yu He was very happy: "I knew you would like this, look how smart I am, you will definitely not lose with me--"

"Turn off the lights." Qingcheng Xie interrupts the young man's wangmai to sell the melon.

Yu He had to stop talking and went back to turn off the switch.

The room was plunged into darkness, only the faint light of the street lamp outside diffused in, Qingcheng Xie snapped the Zippo lighter, inserted the lotus lamp on the buttercream, and then went over to light the fire.

Hissing ......

The fuse burned up, the splashes of golden flowers touched the wick, and the lantern, which had just been tightly closed, opened up at once. Five petals made of light pink plastic slowly bloomed in the eyes of Qingcheng Xie and Yu He, accompanied by the sound of music in the candle's built-in electronic wick.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you ...... wish you happiness wish you health and a warm family ......"

"......" Yu He lost his smile abruptly.

He didn't expect this birthday song to be this version.

Generally is not the same stupid repeated "happy birthday"?

He immediately raised his eyes to see, Qingcheng Xie originally had some light smile in his eyes, but heard the lyrics, the eyes dimmed down again.

After a while, he said, "The candle is indeed still the same as before, no change."

Thirty-three-year-old Qingcheng Xie was standing in his single dormitory, looking at a ruby cake with musical candles in front of him, and in the swaying light of the candles, he seemed to see himself at the age of eight, with Ping Xie and Muying Zhou standing beside him, and even a smiling Ciyan Qin. They said to him, "Make a wish.

He forgot what he wished for at the time, only remembering the feeling of blowing out the candles with great anticipation.

Qingcheng Xie watched his childhood self blow out the candle flame, and when he opened his eyes again, he couldn't find his mom, dad and adoptive father.

He looked at himself standing blankly in place, with no one around ......

"May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you have a warm family ......" Suddenly someone clapped his hands and sang this song, Qingcheng Xie came back to his senses - his childhood He was standing opposite Yu He who was looking at him by candlelight.

Yu He is very out of tune, the little psycho finished the song, trying to make up for it as if something, and said to him, "May you and I have a warm family."

Qingcheng Xie : "......"

" Qingcheng Xie , don't be sad." He coaxed him.

"Happy Day of Rebirth."

The boy said, across the table, leaned over, and in the gentle, brilliant light of the lotus lamp, came closer, and again - with his eyes closed - kissed Professor Xie on the lips.

The kiss was tender and reverent.

Unfortunately, after the kiss ended, the words spoken were extremely unreliable: "I'll wait for you to sleep with me anytime."

Qingcheng Xie : "............ roll."

After the two of them finished eating the cake and cleaning up the garbage, it was already after 1:00, Qingcheng Xie gave the bed to Yu He and slept on the sofa by himself. Yu He refused and insisted to change it, but Qingcheng Xie seriously refused as the male host, and said if Yu He didn't obey, he should go back to his dormitory.

Yu He finally just had to brush his teeth and went to sleep in Qingcheng Xie's bed.

That's the way it is with daddy men, you can never take care of him for too long, or he'll be all over the place.

This night, Yu He and Qingcheng Xie did not sleep too well. Yu He lay between the pillows and mattresses filled with Qingcheng Xie's scent, and he got very hot thinking about how Qingcheng Xie had slept in this bed before. Although he had already given out in the bathroom, but young people are full of energy, and Yu He has not eaten for too long, now lying in the bed of his favorite person, his heart is boiling, he would like to be smothered under the covers to solve some problems, but unfortunately the door is open, the sound will be heard by Qingcheng Xie. He just had to toss and turn, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Outside the bedroom, in the living room, Qingcheng Xie sat on the couch, thinking about all the things that had happened before, from the tape, to the mysterious person who sent it, from the listening water, to Zhilong Huang's film company, and finally he thought about Yu He's ridiculous and funny teenage actions tonight.

He raised his hand and brushed his knuckles against his brow.

It's so childish ......

I'm 20 years old and I'm already doing life projects at my age, but Yu He is still a kid.

But for some reason, the heart that had been weighing so heavily was somewhat relieved when I looked into Yu He's room.

Qingcheng Xie realized this and felt his head hurt even more. He rubbed his brow bone hard and sighed, taking his fingers through his tie buckle while getting up and taking off his jacket and lying down to rest.

.

Same time.

Huzhou City Council Technical Investigation Division.

It was already midnight, and the police officers who had been working overtime were inevitably a little tired, most of them sleeping lightly in their offices, intending to take a little rest before continuing the work at hand.

Daiming, the technician, came back from outside with a big bag of milk tea.

"I've come a long way, but I finally found one that's open, I'm becoming a take-away rider." Daiming distributed the milk tea to his colleagues. Daiming handed out milk tea to colleagues in the office, "There are a lot of cases these days, it really makes people anxious, hurry up and drink it, refreshing, tonight it is estimated that we have to stay up all night again."

"Wow, it's rare for you to be so generous." A tired-looking policeman took a cup of milk tea, not forgetting to tease the other party.

"Yes, such a big bag, it must have cost more than three hundred, how much is your kid's salary? The sun is coming out of the west today."

Daiming scratched his head apologetically: "It's rare, everyone usually takes care of me. Hey, by the way, where is my master? Still in the evidence room?"

"It's still there, go ahead."

Daiming went off with a cup of milk tea.

Inside the physical evidence room stood an old forensic scientist, wearing a clean white lab coat, was shaking the test tube in his hand, carefully checking the changes in the solution inside under the cold incandescent light.

"Master." Daiming handed him the milk tea, "Have a hot drink, in honor of you."

The old forensic eyes do not move, still focused on looking at the reagents in their hands, whispering slowly: "No, I am an old man, do not drink this stuff, turn back to the three high, take the salary have to send to the hospital."

Daiming : "I ordered you the sugar-free, pure milk, especially healthy."

"Sugar-free sugar content is also over the limit, you kid do not read the newspaper ah." The old coroner grunted, very disdain for such junk food, "Take it away, take it away."

Daiming face piled with a flattering smile in the old forensics can not see the dark place quickly down, the afterglow sneakily to the old forensics on the operating table that the DV to glance at.

It has been many days since the strange death of the actress of Zhilon Group, and I heard that the images in this DV are almost recovered under his master's exquisite skills.

But he still hasn't finished the job he took on.

Daiming, rather than being a technician, is a "greasy official" who became a police officer, and most people do not want to be a police officer in the first place, he grew up in a village as a child and had a misunderstanding of the police, thinking that it is an official who can call on the masses, just like those who play in costume dramas The same as those officials in the costume drama.

This thought remained uncorrected from the bottom of his heart even when he was admitted to the police academy and took the oath to the badge.

Daiming physical strength can not, after graduation, to the technical investigation of this development, but technical investigation is a careful work, need to be calm, calm, they are often with the object, with the corpse of the conversation more than people.

Despite the fact that the veteran detective who led him was a well-known veteran of technical investigation in City Council, Daiming gradually became untenable.

His dream is not to deal with test tubes and beakers for life, he wants to be a wine table and dinner, promotion and wealth, after the return home, everyone called him a big official, he can be high and mighty.

Unfortunately, reality is too boneheaded.

Daiming is already in his thirties, still a grassroots, he is not serious about his work, and his speech is too greasy, when he sees the leadership, he likes to be a slave, and in front of his colleagues, he likes to put on a show, and he wants to frame the words "bullying soft, fearing hard" to hang on his body. Seeing that they will be bored for the rest of their lives, Daiming is inevitably lively, often inquiring whether they can be transferred to a department, in his opinion, the dead and will not give money to bribe him. The oil and water of technical investigation is really too little.

And now, the tragic death of the actress can actually become his living treasure.

Daiming had been dreaming for days that he would be able to quit his job and eat and drink for the rest of his life, as long as the DV was in his hands and he was paid the $10 million he had been promised.

He did not withstand the temptation of money, like a snake lying dormant in the shadows, spitting out its letters, waiting for the time to strike ......

"Master." Daiming went and returned, but the content in his hand was replaced by a cup of hot tea, "You do not drink milk tea, you must drink some water to rest. You are so old, do not take it easy."

Old forensic scientist: "You are really filial today."

"It's only right to pay respect to you."

There's a little bit of Ambien in the cup, and Daiming is willing to go to great lengths for $10 million.

He is not unaware that this is an illegal matter, but people who know the law know the law to commit crimes is the most terrible, because they will exploit the legal loopholes, and even do a trade-off between the criminal consequences and the benefits received, as long as the benefits obtained enough, they will even feel that it does not matter if they commit adultery.

The old forensic doctor in the end is still too tired, fully focused on the work for too long, looking at the cup of hot tea, the mouth is really some thirst.

"This tea smells pretty good."

"The last bit of red robe in the cabinet, I sneak all for you to brew it."

The old forensic scientist listened to this, mouth and tongue, finally went to the sink to do a disinfection, and then took the tea handed to him by Daiming, walked to the window of the outer corridor, while resting, while slowly finishing a cup of tea.

"Tsk, it's really good tea, you should try it too."

Daiming's face glowed with joy: "I don't deserve it.

The old forensic scientist was very comfortable with his ass-kissing and hummed again, and continued to put on a new pair of examination gloves and get busy in front of the operating table.

Daiming waited quietly on the sidelines.

He appeared to be giving the teacher a hand, but in reality he had been waiting for the sleeping pills to take effect.

The old forensic doctor gradually began to get sleepy, yawned a few times, then he sighed: "This is old ...... only a few points it, the heart is not good ah."

He simmered again for a while, simmering to really upper eyelids sticky eyelids, the old forensic only had to give up: "Xiao Ming ah, No. 2 cup of reagent reaction after ten minutes need to record the value, you help me keep an eye on it, I go to the next lounge to sleep for a while, half an hour you call me."

Daiming is waiting for these words.

He was so excited that he was even worried that the sound of his heart thumping wildly would attract the teacher's attention, and he said, "Yes, you can sleep in peace. I'll keep an eye on things here."

As he said this, he even felt his voice was more shrill than usual from the strain.

Unfortunately, the old forensic scientist was so sleepy that he did not notice this hint of difference in his apprentice, he yawned, turned around and left the physical evidence laboratory.

Daiming waited for him to leave, then immediately rushed to the operating table, put on gloves, opened the combination lock with trembling hands, and took out the DV that was worth $10 million to him from the temporary storage cabinet.

When he held it, he did not feel that he was holding the evidence that would shed justice for the victim, but that it was a dream he had waited too long for.

Under the shadowless lamp, his face was like waxed and distorted.

He swallowed hard and quickly stuffed the DV into the plastic bag prepared in advance.

10 million ...... 10 million!!!

He already saw the villa and the beauty beckoning him, he shivered with excitement, and then with what I'm afraid was the most over-the-top professionalism of his life, he quickly swept the scene clean of some traces of destruction, including the teacher threw in the trash a paper cup that had the residue of sleeping pills on it, he also tucked into his arms, ready to take out of the police station without moving.

After doing all this, he was already sweating - it was really God's help that no one accidentally entered the door during this process, and the surveillance of this room happened to be in the maintenance period, and he heard his master complaining in the morning.

All too good ......

It's all too good to be true.

Daiming was so excited, he was staring at the camera in his hand, and a thought came to his mind...

He was curious to know what could be in this DV that would be worth such a high price for others to obtain?

His master had recovered the memory card, and perhaps some of the footage was already viewable ...... Daiming It was like a demon whispering in his ear, tempting him to open this machine and take a look at its contents.

Thumbs twitching, Daiming could hear himself panting.

As if manipulated by invisible strings, he moved his hand towards the button of the Duola Pan magic box ......

"Click."

Hold your breath.

After a few seconds of dead silence, the DV screen screen actually lit up.

The blue light reflected on Daiming's pale face, Daiming stared intently at the screen, and then-

"!!!"

Daiming was suddenly covered in sweat! The DV fell to the ground with a snap when my hand was not steady!

"How, how could ......"

In the shaky picture, the one who appeared was Jingfeng Zheng, a heroic police officer who is highly praised by the public and has a good reputation in the criminal investigation side!

Jingfeng Zheng turned to the screen, towards the people outside the screen, and opened a smile that looked extraordinarily treacherous and creepy in the dark.

Daiming the shit out of it!!!

Why ...... why Jingfeng Zheng appeared in the dead man's DV?

Why did such a person already appear in the physical evidence, but his master did not say?

The coldness wrapped around Daiming like a snake, Daiming fell to the ground and felt himself trapped in a dark, bottomless abyss. Compared with Jingfeng Zheng and his master, he felt that he was nothing ...... He suddenly reacted and hastily lunged to gather his things.

He must cleanly hand over this DV to the mystery man, then take the money and flee the country as fast as he can, and then-

Squeak.

The door opened.

He saw a familiar figure standing against the light in the doorway, and even without seeing his face clearly, he knew who that person was.

His master said to him in an unprecedented cold, horrifying tone, "...... you saw it all."
