Everyone is probably busy celebrating the New Year! The news that Mei Qian has been released has been circulating on the Internet for a while, but it did not generate the expected strong response.
On the other hand, there are more posts urging updates in the book review section of the novel. As for those who posted insults in the past month, they have been deleted.
That night, Mei Qian uploaded the manuscripts saved in the computer at once, set up automatic updates, and waited for the Chinese New Year with peace of mind.
As a visitor from a foreign land, the Spring Festival here in Xia Kingdom has lost its greatest significance to him. Therefore, in previous years, he mostly just went through the motions of this festival.
He thought that Ning Chi would spend the New Year with him this year, but it turned out that this boy probably thought that his eldest brother would not be able to come out before the year, so he made an appointment with relatives to celebrate the New Year in another place. Mei Qian left in a hurry the day after Mei Qian got home.
At this time, there was only one day left before the New Year's Eve. I originally planned to deal with it, but then I thought about it. The New Year and the new atmosphere were so bad last year. How can I get a good result this time?
Therefore, even though he was too lazy to move, he still checked the house.
Fortunately, Ning Chi helped tidy up the room before leaving, and the curtains and sheets did not need to be replaced. However, the empty refrigerator needed to be filled, and some fruits and snacks were prepared. Well, couplets, the word "Fu" and the God of Wealth.
Gotta get one.
There is a large supermarket not far from the community, making shopping very convenient.
After finding a hat and putting it on, he carried the shopping bag and went out. When he walked out of the elevator, he wrapped his head and face tightly with a scarf.
However, this time he did not encounter the reporter's blocking of the door before. It may be because the temperature dropped and the weather was very cold. In addition, he communicated with the property management in advance and the security guard refused reporters to come to the door, so he did not do anything in vain.
Therefore, he bought things smoothly, and then he was busy for a while, and the house finally looked somewhat festive.
As usual, he declined Maomao's mother's invitation to celebrate the New Year. On New Year's Eve, Mei Qian cooked a few dishes and made frozen dumplings, just like in previous years, making it a fun time.
After that, apart from paying New Year's greetings remotely, I had nothing to do. I basically stayed at home and played games.
The good habits he finally developed in the detention center were changed to a night owl routine in just a few days.
I originally thought it would be another peaceful and boring Spring Festival holiday, but unexpectedly something happened.
Well, Mei Qian stayed at home, everything was safe, and he didn't go out to cause trouble.
Zhang Yu, who was lively and cheerful and invited him to dinner a few years ago, was hospitalized due to injuries.
At first, no one answered the phone during New Year's greetings, and Weiwei didn't reply. Mei Qian thought the other party was working on a case and it was not convenient to reply.
But when he called again on the third day of the lunar new year, a strange woman's voice came from inside. After questioning, he learned that on the night of New Year's Eve, Zhang Yu was with the team to arrest a murder suspect who had been absconding for many years and secretly returned home this year. However,
The suspect escaped under the obstruction of the other party's family.
Zhang Yu was on guard at the perimeter, and he chased after the person closest to him. When the others caught up, he was already lying in a pool of blood. In the end, the suspect was successfully captured, but he was stabbed seven times in the stomach.
He was sent to the emergency room that night and transferred to the intensive care unit at noon on the first day of the new year.
He could clearly feel from the woman's suppressed emotions on the phone that Zhang Yu's situation didn't seem to be good.
After asking for the address, Mei Qian immediately drove to the hospital.
-------------
"I am Zhang Yu's lover, and you are..." The woman with a haggard look asked uncertainly when she saw Mei Qian's appearance: "Are you that writer?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, my name is Mei Qian, and I am a friend of Brother Zhang." Mei Qian nodded politely.
Zhang Yu must have never mentioned his relationship with Mei Qian when he returned home, so after confirming his identity, the woman looked at him with obvious suspicion and vigilance.
Maybe you thought you were here to see a joke, right?
Mei Qian twitched the corner of his mouth. He couldn't get into the custodial room. He wanted to give him an envelope, but he would definitely not accept it. If he forced it, he might even be beaten.
I could only leave the fruit basket and flowers in despair, and just as I was about to leave, I heard footsteps again from outside.
"Mei Qian, you're here too!" Li Chen, who had dark circles under his eyes, was holding an insulated lunch box. When he saw Mei Qian, he was stunned for a moment, then waved and said hello. Although his voice was weak and tired, his tone was very familiar.
"Are you really friends?" Maybe it's not common for police officers and prisoners to become friends, so the woman couldn't help but speak again.
"Yes, sister-in-law, Mei Qian and my master have a life-long friendship." Li Chen explained softly, then handed the lunch box he brought to the woman and hurried away.
Mei Qian's heart moved, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he started asking about Zhang Yu's situation.
Someone proved that the woman's attitude towards him has improved a lot. When she mentioned her husband who has not yet passed the critical period, he couldn't help sobbing: "You said that he is away from home all day long. It's rare that he doesn't have to be on duty on New Year's Eve, but he doesn't even eat dumplings after answering the phone.
Then I left, and then I got this news..."
Seeing this, Mei Qian could only comfort her softly, glanced at the lunch box, and changed the subject: "Brother Zhang is not awake now, can he eat?"
"I can only drink some rice soup." the woman replied.
Mei Qian said oh, but covered the lunch box with one hand, frowning and said: "This rice soup is too hot, can I feed it?"
"You still have to open it to dry!" At this time, the woman lost all guard and opened the lunch box in front of Mei Qian.
Mei Qian made a gesture of stretching out his hand to test the temperature, then smiled and said: "Okay, then I won't bother you. I'll come back when Brother Zhang gets better." After that, he said hello and strode away.
In fact, at that moment, he had extracted a small amount of Da Huan Dan powder from the system warehouse and sprinkled it into the rice soup.
This is a new method that was researched after returning from the Ahan Kingdom. The Great Return Pill is very effective, but if you pinch off a little powder and take it, it can also treat injuries, but it is far less shocking than taking the whole pill.
With these powders, I believe Zhang Yu can definitely survive this life-and-death situation. This can be regarded as him doing his part as a friend.
I returned to the community in a happy mood. As soon as I left the parking lot, I saw a family of three in front of me who had just returned.
At this moment, the other party was in a daze because of his appearance.
Mei Qian recognized the other party, nodded politely, and walked around a few people faster.
"Isn't this Mei Qian who lives downstairs in our house? Why did he get out of prison? Didn't he say he might be locked up for a long time?" A very small female voice sounded after itself.
"Don't talk nonsense. They haven't been sentenced yet. I guess everything is fine. Either he will be released on medical parole or released on bail pending trial." The person who replied was obviously the male owner of the house. His voice was also lowered.
"Who is he? I heard he is a big tomb robber, and he dares to kill people in front of the police. How can such a person be allowed to move freely?" The woman's voice was full of dissatisfaction.
"After all, he has rescued many people in previous attacks, so the police probably don't want to take care of it. We can't afford to offend him, so stay away from him when we see him in the future."
"He is a murderer who digs up people's ancestral graves and cuts off their descendants. It's really unsafe to live in a community with such a person. Why didn't he be shot earlier to save..." The woman snorted.
Because of the distance, they thought no one could hear her because her voice was so low, but before she could finish her sentence, they saw Mei Qian in front of them suddenly stopped and turned around to look over.
The family of three also stopped quickly, and the woman held the child in her arms.
Mei Qian did not come over to beat them up as they thought, nor did he yell or curse. Instead, he took out gum from his pocket, ate it, smiled, and continued to stride forward.
When I entered the unit and waited for the elevator, the other family also rushed over.
When the empty elevator opened, Mei Qian walked in first, but found that the others had no intention of coming in.
He turned around and saw the man waving his hands at him with a forced smile, as if to say that he was not in a hurry and would wait for the next trip.
Mei Qian looked at them deeply and pressed the button for the 12th floor.
Chewing gum, Mei Qian laughed at himself. This family lived on the 13th floor. Apart from a few arguments upstairs when their children were bouncing around while writing, they had no major conflicts with him. Unexpectedly...
[Personality is created equal, but some are as bright as stars, while others are as small as dust.]
When he got home, he threw himself on the recliner, left this sentence on his slight signature, and took back his mobile phone. After that, he didn't tidy up the room and lost the appetite to eat. He only drank a glass of red wine.
Drink slowly until night falls, and darkness engulfs the entire room.
