Mountain Village Murder Case, Train Murder Case Chapter 23: Sensible Xiaoyueyue
It is said that a person will know more than 3,000 people on average in his lifetime, including friends, colleagues, partners and lovers. For a long time, this will make us feel more belonging and safer, but in the end, we will always want to return
Around our loved ones, we will find that after losing our loved ones, we have nothing; for our loved ones, we will give everything we have.
Xu Lang looked at Xiao Yueyue's tender cheeks, he was really hesitant.
Xu Lang lost his parents when he was very young. His grandmother and sister single-handedly raised him. However, when Xu Lang was still an adult, his grandmother and sister left him one after another, and Xu Lang was alone.
After living, because of his childhood experience, Xu Lang didn't want Xiao Yueyue to be like him, a lonely person since she was a child. She no longer had a mother and had not enjoyed maternal love since she was a child. Xu Lang didn't want Xiao Yueyue to be like him.
No more fatherly love.
Lu Ye died, Xu Lang naturally felt very sad, and wanted to return to S City to find out the truth about Lu Ye's death. However, if he went back, it would mean that Xu Lang would have to go back to his old life again.
, having to deal with the police is not what Xu Lang is worried about. The problem that worries Xu Lang the most is that as long as he returns to S City and appears in front of those people again, it means that Xu Lang will
Dealing with countless criminals again will bring a lot of trouble and danger to Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue. If Xu Lang were alone, he would not have left S City back then.
Came to this remote small county. If he were alone, he would not hesitate to follow Ning Yanran back to S City after learning that Lu Ye was dead. However, he was not alone. He still had
Xiao Yueyue.
Xu Lang has no relatives anymore. His only relative is Xiao Yueyue. He really doesn't want Xiao Yueyue, who has been very sensible and obedient since childhood, to get involved in the adult world. This is very unfair to Xiao Yueyue.
Xu Lang would always frown subconsciously when he was thinking about something.
When Xiao Yueyue saw that Xu Lang was silent, she climbed up on the chair, stretched out her small hand, rubbed Xu Lang's frowning eyebrows, and asked in a sweet voice: "Dad, who is Lu Ye that aunt is talking about?"
"
Feeling his daughter's gentle and considerate movements, Xu Lang turned his head, forced out a not-so-good-looking smile, and explained: "Lu Ye is the elder that dad respects most. Do you know that you want to call me grandpa?"
Xiao Yueyue nodded, and then continued to ask: "So, is that grandpa very important to you?"
Xu Lang nodded and said, "Yes, it's very important."
"Then he is dead now. Are you very sad? Do you want to go back and have a look?"
Xu Lang was silent for a moment. He looked at Xiao Yueyue's eyes that were as clean and clear as his. He didn't want to deceive Xiao Yueyue, and then nodded,
"Then are we leaving here?" Xiao Yueyue looked at Xu Lang and asked.
Xu Lang fell silent again. He did not answer the question, but looked at Xiao Yueyue and asked: "Do you want to go to S city? If you don't want to, we won't leave."
"Really?"
After all, Xiao Yueyue was still a child. When she heard what Xu Lang said, she immediately became happy. But not long after Xiao Yueyue was happy, she wrinkled her little face, looked at Xu Lang, and said in a sweet voice
: "But if we don't go back, then you won't be able to see that grandpa, and you won't be able to know how he died."
That’s right, wouldn’t you be very unhappy if you did this?”
Xu Lang was silent, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Yueyue's head, and then said: "It doesn't matter whether I am happy or not, as long as we, Xiao Yueyue, are happy."
"But, I also want you to be happy too."
When Xu Lang heard Xiao Yueyue's heart-warming words, Xu Lang didn't say anything. He just stretched out his hand and rubbed her little head again, while Xiao Yueyue was like a cute kitten, enjoying Xu Lang's words very much.
She narrowed her eyes slightly at the intimate gesture.
"Let's go back." After a while, Xiao Yueyue suddenly raised her head, looked at Xu Lang and said.
Xu Lang was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Where are you going back?"
"Of course it's our hometown, S City." Xiao Yueyue curled her lips and looked at Xu Lang with some contempt.
"Don't you want to leave here?" Xu Lang asked puzzledly.
"I know that this is not our home. We will leave sooner or later. Since we have to leave sooner or later, why not leave now. Anyway, I also want to see the sea and know the place where you stayed when you were a child."
Xu Lang turned around, faced Xiao Yueyue head-on, and then asked seriously: "Have you thought about it?"
Xiao Yueyue nodded, jumped down from the chair, waved to Xu Lang, and said: "I have thought about it, I will clean up the kitchen, and you can contact the aunt. I think she will be very upset when she knows about this."
happy."
After saying this, Xiao Yueyue skipped to the kitchen.
Xu Lang looked at Xiao Yueyue's retreating back. His eyes were full of endearment. He knew that Xiao Yueyue did this entirely for himself. Compared to the unfamiliar S city, this was still the case.
This remote small town left the deepest impression on Xiao Yueyue. People all love home, whether adults or children. Xiao Yueyue doesn't want to leave here, so why doesn't she love home? However, she is very precocious.
She was a very smart and sensible child. When she saw that Xu Lang was in such a difficult situation because of herself, she helped Xu Lang make up his mind.
Xu Lang murmured to himself: "You are really similar to your mother."
After saying this, Xu Lang took out his cell phone and dialed Ning Yanran's cell phone.
————
Zhuxi County is not big. Although there are many hotels, there are still not many hotels that are better. Ning Yanran and Lu Xing are not familiar with this small county. After walking around the city for a while, they finally chose a hotel.
It was a very nice hotel, and the two of us went in to check in.
Ning Yanran and Lu Xing each asked for a room. Their rooms were next to each other. After Ning Yanran took out the room card and opened the door, Lu Xing did not go to his own room, but followed Ning Yanran to her room.
.
Lu Xing was still the same as years ago, with a very out-of-touch temper. After entering the room, he went straight to the sofa and sat down. No, he should have lied down. He kicked off his shoes and looked at Ning Yanran who was closing the door.
Said: "It seems that Brother Lang has been living well here in the past few years."
Ning Yanran's expression had already returned to normal. When Lu Xing said this, she nodded and said, "Today is Xiao Yueyue's birthday. There are many people coming to celebrate her birthday, and most of them are police officers.
Judging from their uniforms, they should be the criminal police at this scene. It seems that Xu Lang is still dealing with the police in the past few years."
Lu Xing saw what Ning Yanran said and naturally guessed it, so he said with a smile: "I know Brother Lang. He is always very interested in solving cases. No matter where he goes,
Nothing can be changed."
Hearing what Lu Xing said, Ning Yanran was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and then nodded. Indeed, Lu Xing was right, Xu Lang was such a person.
Ning Yanran took the hot water bottle to the bathroom. She first cleaned the hot water bottle, then took half the pot of water and started to boil the water. After doing all this, she walked to sit down opposite Lu Xing, but there was a strange look on her face.
A trace of worry emerged involuntarily.
Lu Xing seemed to know what Ning Yanran was thinking, and he said, "Don't worry, Captain Ning, Brother Lang will go back with us."
Although Ning Yanran is now the deputy director of the S City Public Security Bureau, the old people in the Second Criminal Investigation Team still habitually call her Captain Ning, just like calling Xu Lang Brother Lang. They are used to it, but...
The current Second Criminal Investigation Team is no longer the Second Criminal Investigation Team of the past. There are only a few people left from the Second Criminal Investigation Team, and Lu Xing happens to be one of them.
Hearing this, Ning Yanran shook her head. She thought of the scene when she saw Xu Lang just now, and the conversation with Xu Lang. Before she came to Xu Lang, she knew that there would be someone who wanted Xu Lang to go back.
Trouble, but what she didn't expect was that Xu Lang would directly reject her. Originally, Ning Yanran was planning to come alone when she came, but after thinking about it carefully, she decided to bring Lu Xing with her. After all,
, one more person means one more person to convince Xu Lang. However, in today's situation, before Lu Xing could speak, Xu Lang directly rejected her. It didn't make her angry, but it just made her feel a little helpless.
In fact, if it were in the past, Ning Yanran would not have to travel thousands of miles to make such a trip. She would just give Xu Lang a call. However, things are different now. First of all, it happened many years ago. Xu Lang
There was a big knot between him and Ning Yanran. Secondly, with Xiao Yueyue's existence, Xu Lang could ignore his own feelings, but he had to take into account Xiao Yueyue's thoughts, and this was also the case with Ning Yanran.
She felt that this was the most difficult problem, so she was given Xu Lang's former police badge to Xiao Yueyue.
Lu Xing didn't seem to be too worried about whether Xu Lang would go back with them. In his opinion, Xu Lang would definitely go back with them. There was no need to worry. He was thinking about other things now. He looked at Ning Yanran,
He said with complicated eyes: "In the blink of an eye, little Yueyue has grown from a baby waiting to be fed to a little girl. Captain Ning, did you see it today? Little Yueyue is really sensible. If I remember correctly,
She should be only six years old this year."
Hearing Lu Xing mention Xiao Yueyue, Ning Yanran's face also showed a hint of motherly glory. She nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly six years old."
"Captain Ning, have you noticed that Xiao Yueyue's eyes are exactly the same as Brother Lang's, so clear and clean."
Ning Yanran nodded and said, "But, I still think she is more like her mother."
As soon as Ning Yanran said this, both Lu Xing and Ning Yanran fell into silence. They both thought of the woman from a few years ago and her stubborn and determined eyes. Thinking of this, Ning Yanran felt very uncomfortable.
"Jingle Bell"
Just at this moment, Ning Yanran's cell phone rang.
