Zhou Ning looked into the old man's eyes, gritted his teeth and said:

"I have been dreaming recently about someone holding my hand. I knew it was a woman, and I also knew somewhere that it should be my mother, but I couldn't see her face clearly when I looked up.

We were standing at a window. It was completely white outside. I didn’t know if it was fog or snow. She asked me if I could see my dad. Of course, there were many pictures behind, but they were all intermittent, like moving photos. It seemed that

There were stone tablets and group photos, but I couldn't see their faces clearly.

Grandpa, I have never asked my parents. You have always told me that our family of three had a car accident, so my parents passed away. I have no memory. When I was a child, I did not dare to ask, and I even deliberately avoided the topic. However, I lived in a deep sense of self.

I always feel that they died because of me. Grandpa, can you tell me the truth?"

The old man sighed and just leaned on the sofa. He didn't speak for a long time. Just when Zhou Ning felt that the old man still couldn't speak, the old man spoke.

"Actually, I should have told you earlier. When you were filling in your application for the college entrance examination, your second uncle once strongly opposed your taking the public security entrance-related major. Do you still remember?"

Zhou Ning sat back on the chair and recalled for a moment. At that time, his second uncle's reaction was indeed great. He thought that his second uncle was in the system and felt that this industry was dangerous, so he didn't want him to be exposed to it. Seeing that he chose the forensic profession, he didn't

If I say more, it seems that I even mentioned God’s will at that time.

At that time, I felt that my second uncle was happy. After all, the school and major in the book were pretty good, but it seemed that was not the case.

The old man took a long breath and continued:

"Your mother is an orphan. She is a doctor. Of course, this is a profession announced to the outside world, but your father's job is of a special nature. At that time, I only knew that he had passed the college entrance examination, and then there was a talk from the leadership. Of course, he also ordered us not to tell the outside world.

He said that his eldest son was a crew member, so he didn't ask further questions.

It wasn't until your parents passed away that the leader came again and delivered two urns. Holding them in his hands, I didn't believe that your parents were gone. It was also at that time that I knew what he did specifically.

He is a member of the special department. Until now, his files are confidential. We can only think of him as a crew member. But what exactly happened that year and who killed them? We don’t know any of this. Only you who are unconscious are in the hospital.

rescue.

The scar on your head was left at that time. At that time, I thought that losing your memory would be a good thing for you. I could only set this family rule. No one is allowed to mention your parents. It seems that grandpa did

Wrong, I should have told you earlier."

Zhou Ning subconsciously raised his hand and touched the scar on the left side of his temple.

As I grow older, this scar is no longer obvious. It just looks like a line because of the lack of hair. However, you can feel it by touching it. There is a slight depression at this location on the skull.

"It turns out that my parents are like this. I always thought that they were very unbearable, so I didn't dare to ask. I was afraid that I would feel more uncomfortable if I asked. Grandpa, do you have any photos of them?"

The old man shook his head, his eyes already a little moist.

"Hey, I'm not allowed to keep photos. I'm old and can't think about these things. Grandpa shouldn't have hid this from you. I can't say that they are heroes, let alone that they died well-deserved, but that's what they should do. Since they

If you make a choice, grandpa will have to bear it. As a parent, you can only do this.

It's just a pain for you that you grew up without the care of your parents, but thanks to your presence, grandpa has to take better care of himself. After all, he wants to see you grow up and see you get married and start a family."

Zhou Ning shook his head and put his hand on the old man's leg. It was too cruel to ask an old man to recall the process of sending his white-haired man to his black-haired man.

"I'm sorry, grandpa, for making you sad."

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"Silly boy, grandpa is not sad. In a few days, when you are not busy, let your second uncle take you to the memorial service. In fact, we are all relaxed when you say it, but even after so many years, you still can't touch you.

Promise me about my father’s murder!”

Zhou Ning nodded vigorously.

"I promise you. Besides, I'm a forensic doctor. I have access to any secret files. Grandpa, you think too highly of me."

The old man smiled and touched Zhou Ning's hair.

"You look more and more like your father. Sometimes I am confused as to whether it is you or your father standing in front of me. In fact, your father has not been back a few times since graduation, and he always comes back at night before dawn.

Walk."

Zhou Ning raised his head and smiled at the old man.

"Grandpa, when you give me the key to the apartment at Qindao University, you can come and live with me in Qindao. I don't want to run back and forth, but I want to see you every day."

The old man patted Zhou Ning and laughed too.

"We, one old and one young, know how to cook noodles. I also want to eat the food cooked by your second aunt, so I won't go!"

Zhou Ning pouted.

"It is said that the apartment has three bedrooms and two living rooms and is more than 150 square meters. How can I live alone? I don't have to take my second aunt with me, but my second uncle can chase after me with a knife."

The old man raised his head and laughed, but then stopped smiling.

"Wait a minute, how big is your house?"

"More than 150 square meters, three bedrooms and two living rooms."

"Is it free for you to live here?"

"No, it's not like giving it to me for free, but the corresponding value will be deducted from the software sales share later, which is considered an advance."

The old man lost his composure, stood up and started walking around in the house, counting things with his fingers.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

"Send me back, no, send me back to my hometown. I'll find a deposit receipt for you. How much does it cost to renovate more than 100 square meters? We need to prepare well."

Zhou Ning quickly grabbed the excited old man. The old man's health has always been very good, especially his blood pressure and heart. He carefully checked his blood pressure and heart every year. He was better than the average young man. Zhou Ning almost couldn't hold him back just now.

"Grandpa, don't worry. The house is fully decorated. It just needs to be cleaned. When the time comes, I will check if there are any missing items and just buy one or two. According to what Dr. Lu said, it can be moved in with a bag. I will go to work on the first day.

You gave me the key after dinner in the evening and asked me to live there directly. Do you think the environment can be bad?"

The old man sighed and laughed directly.

"My grandson is still handsome. He has only been working for a year. Various places are vying for him. Even with such generous terms, don't betray their trust. Okay, I'll go back to bed. I'm a little drunk tonight."

Zhou Ning smiled and sent the old man back directly. After he came back, he washed up and went to bed.

After tossing and turning for a while, while half asleep and half awake, Zhou Ning saw the hand on his head. This time the fog seemed to have dispersed a little, but his mother's face was still unclear.

"Xiao Ning, does your head still hurt?"

Zhou Ning wanted to speak, but couldn't. His body was completely out of control. Although it was a first-person perspective, it didn't seem like it was him. This feeling was very difficult to describe. He could only shake his head vigorously.

He wanted to say that he did not blame his parents. Due to the nature of their work, many things were unpredictable. Even if he died at the age of ten because of his parents, he would not blame them.

Now, he just wanted to see their faces. After all, there seemed to be no trace of their presence in the house, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly. Zhou Ning was extremely anxious.

At this moment, everything in front of him changed. He was shaken and opened his eyes. A pair of strong arms picked him up and kept patting his back.

"Xiao Ning, wake up. Listen to your father and listen to your mother. Don't make a sound when you see or hear anything. Do you understand?"

The little body just nodded, but the mother next to her was shouting in a low voice.

"Xiang Rong, don't go out."

The father shook his head without explaining much.

At this time, there was another loud bang at the door, and the ground shook together. Zhou Ning's mouth and ears were covered by her mother, and her father dragged the chest of drawers to the bedroom door, and the telephone on it had fallen to the ground.

"Xiao Ping locked the door and blocked it with a chest of drawers. I have already called Team Peng. It will take ten minutes. As long as I hold on for ten minutes, they will come to respond and protect the children. If I really can't escape by jumping out of the window, I..."

His father did not continue talking and turned decisively to go out. Zhou Ning could feel the trembling of his mother's hands. Even though her face was filled with tears, she did not cry out.

Just when Zhou Ning wanted to hug her mother, the scene in front of her changed again.

He was trapped in a small space, unable to stand or move. There was a biting coldness under his feet. There was darkness in front of him, with only light coming from a hole.

Zhou Ning quickly lay down in the hole and looked over. Outside the bedroom door, his father was lying on the ground, with blood stains underneath him, while his mother was lying not far away, with her neck twisted into a weird posture, but her eyes were staring in Zhou Ning's direction.

, both of them were motionless, Zhou Ning knew that they were dead.

Zhou Ning's whole body was cold, not because of fear, but because of the feeling that you want to do something but can't do it, you can't even close your eyes. You can only stare at everything happening in front of you. The helplessness is suffocating.

Police sirens sounded in the distance, but they were very far away.

At this time, several people walked into the range that Kong Dong could see. Zhou Ning could not see their faces clearly. He could only see a pair of camel-colored suede shoes and a voice.

"Brother, that stinky bitch threw the child downstairs. There is a rope tied with a sheet. If we rush down now, we will have to run into the police. If a child wants to be killed, we can do it at any time. It is important for us to save our lives now.

ah."

"That kid is lucky, let's go out through the back courtyard wall."

The two people turned around and rushed out of the room, but just as the owner of the camel-colored suede shoes was about to leave, he stopped and turned to face Zhou Ning. Although he couldn't see his face, his inquiring gaze seemed to have substance.

Generally, it is locked on Zhou Ning.

One step, two steps, the distance is getting closer and closer, the pair of camel suede shoes with blood on the edges, getting closer to the carton little by little.

Zhou Ning could feel the stiffness of his body, but he didn't dare to move or even breathe. He couldn't hear anything except his heartbeat.

The camel-colored suede shoes stopped, and the blurry image seemed to tilt his head and chuckle twice, and slowly raised the shotgun in his hand.

"You stinky bitch, you still want to play with me like a golden cicada escaping from its shell. You thought I wouldn't be able to tell. Okay, kid, I'll give you one last ride!"

boom!
