Surprise

Chen Lin returned from her hometown. Her mother-in-law had been discharged from the hospital and had no problems with her life. She also had to start working hard to make a living again.

I thought that when I entered the house, I would see cold furnishings, but unexpectedly I saw a happy scene of mother and daughter. Ever since she became Shen Lan's nanny, she has never seen such a scene.

When Shen Lan saw her, she smiled and waved, "I'm glad you're back. I was still thinking about what to eat tonight. By the way, is your mother-in-law okay?"

"Okay." Shen Lin pushed the suitcase, holding the bag in her hand, and said hesitantly: "I brought some local specialties."

"Okay, put it in the kitchen."

Chen Lin was stunned. Whenever she brought local specialties in the past, Chen Lan would always dislike her. If her husband hadn't insisted that she take the baby with her, she wouldn't have taken it no matter what. But to her surprise, Shen Lan didn't dislike it this time.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Shen Lan said, "Why are you standing there? Come in and close the door. It's freezing." She touched Yaya's head and said, "She is my cousin and also our family's nanny."

Yaya was lying on the sofa with bandages wrapped around her body. She called out to Chen Lin twice as a greeting.

Shen Lin was stunned again. This dog was too smart.

Shen Lan said: "Her name is Yaya, and she is a new member of our family."

Chen Lan has decided to adopt Yaya. If Yaya hadn't fought desperately with Zheng Qiao that day, Shen Xingyan wouldn't have come. Chen Lan regards Yaya as her savior. Anyway, the house is so big, we don’t need her. After Chen Lin came, someone was there to walk the dog, so the mother and daughter could each do their own things.

Chen Lin looked at Yaya, then at Chen Lan. Chen Lan, who had never liked dogs, actually wanted to adopt a dog. Did the sun rise from the west? She asked tentatively, "Did anything happen while I was away?"

Shen Lan immediately became interested and described the whole process from Zheng Qiao's entry to his capture, and then to her majestic punching him twice. She described it in such a vivid and dangerous way. Chen Lin's face turned pale and she trembled all over. She patted her chest in fear and said, "God bless me, I finally got away with it."

Chen Lan stroked Yaya's head and said with a smile: "My daughter is really good. She wielded a stick so skillfully that she didn't even give the criminals a chance to fight back. But Yanyan, I remember you didn't know how to fight. When you were a child, Chen Hua forced you to learn martial arts, but you didn't want to. How come you are so good all of a sudden?"

Shen Lan stared at Shen Xingyan without blinking. Shen Xingyan's heart skipped a beat and he said with a smile, "Isn't this because I'm at work? I saw that the criminal police team was on missions every day and it was too dangerous, so I forced myself to pick it up."

She had aspired to be a forensic doctor since she was young and had received martial arts training. If a real fight broke out, three or five men might not be able to get close to her.

"That's right. Criminal policemen walk on the edge of a knife. You don't know what will happen tomorrow. ... I heard that the captain of the first team is in the hospital?"

"He was seriously injured and hasn't woken up yet."

Shen Lan sighed, "This is why I didn't let you be a police officer, it's too dangerous. But now you're working as a forensic doctor, it will be much better if you don't have to go on missions. It's all Chen Hua's fault. He forced you to study forensics. Why did he let you realize his own dream?"

Speaking of Chen Hua, Shen Lan was filled with anger. Such a big thing happened to them, mother and daughter, but Chen Hua didn't even say anything to come and take a look.

Shen Xingyan advised her, "I really like being a forensic doctor now. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment. But I may not be so happy with other jobs."

"Who said that? If the business is done well, there will still be money. Your life will not be threatened. You are young and don't understand. When you grow up, you will understand."

As they were talking, the doorbell rang. Shen Lin had just put down her luggage and ran to open the door. Then a person ran in, wearing a light purple down jacket and a woolen hat.

Shen Xingyan's eyes widened, "Xijun!"

Song Xijun took off his shoes, not even putting on slippers, and ran over, "I heard that you guys were in trouble, so I hurried over to check it out."

"It's okay now. But you, are you okay? I've been busy recently and haven't had time to see you." After the Pao Ding case was over, Shen Xingyan contacted Song Xijun, but she didn't reply to the message. Song Xijun was a proud person, and probably didn't want Shen Xingyan to see her in such a state, so Shen Xingyan tactfully didn't bother her.

Song Xijun smiled and said, "I dropped out of school and found a job as a reporter in a newspaper."

"That's good too, what about Auntie?"

"My mother is not in good health and is at home. Oh, don't talk about me, how are you?" Song Xijun took Shen Xingyan's arm and they went to the bedroom.

Shen Lin whispered, “I see Xijun coming out.”

"Otherwise, life must go on. You take care of Yaya, I'll go to the company and come back in the evening."

Song Xijun's mother Fu Nianzhen divorced Song Hongquan before his company was sealed up and got half of the property and a house of 100 square meters. Song Xijun also got a job and her life was not a problem.

Song Hongquan was sentenced to eight years in prison. Song Xijun visited him once and asked him if he regretted anything. Song Hongquan just sighed.

Song Xijun hated Song Hongquan for doing illegal things for money, and she also hated herself for enjoying the convenience brought by money but resenting her father for bringing all this. She lay on Shen Xingyan's lap, "I have complicated feelings for him. I don't know how to face him. I never went to see him again after that time."

Shen Xingyan stroked her hair. Song Xijun had cut her long hair, which now only reached her ears. She did not wear makeup and wore ordinary clothes. "Your father is your father, and you are you. You just need to live a good life with your aunt. That is more important than anything else."

Song Xijun: "My mother said so too, but I just can't let it go. I've been following a case recently. The son killed someone and the father helped him escape. The son was sentenced to death because of the heinous circumstances, and the father was sentenced to five years. The mother has been appealing, saying that her son was wronged.

I was just thinking that everyone has suffering in their life, but everyone’s suffering is different. I enjoyed happiness in my first life, so I will have to suffer in the second half. ”

"You have a long life ahead of you, and there are so many uncertainties ahead."

"Yes, I'm only 26. By the way, tell me about the cases you've handled recently. I love to hear them."

Shen Xingyan picked up the unimportant things about the case of the chef and the case of the "evil" dog at home, and Song Xijun was shocked. "Xiao Tongzhang is so hateful, and Zheng Qiao, how could he find Auntie? Fortunately, you came in time."

Shen Xingyan was also glad that nothing irreversible had happened, otherwise she would not have been able to explain to the original owner.

Song Xijun left after dinner. Shen Xingyan asked her to stay, but she refused, saying that she wanted to go home to be with her mother. Shen Xingyan did not force her. After sending her to the gate of the community and watching her get on the car, Shen Xingyan went back.

Chen Lan hadn't come back yet. Chen Lin and Yaya were watching TV together. Shen Xingyan went into the house to read a professional book and fell asleep while reading. There was a lot of noise in my dream, some people were running away, some were shouting, and some were shot by a wooden gun and fell to the ground.

Shen Xingyan woke up with her heart pounding. She clearly remembered that Du Zhenhai was in Zhongmu Cang, so how did he end up being hit by a truck? The reason why Du Zhenhai fell into the wooden warehouse was written vaguely in his notes, so she didn't know the specific reason.

She had a vague feeling that things were not simple, but she had no access to the core events and did not know why. Suddenly I thought of someone. He must know the answer, but I don’t know if he is willing to tell me.

Shen Xingyan grabbed a few handfuls of hair in annoyance and heard the door open. It should be Shen Lan coming back.

After what happened with Zheng Qiao, the ice between her and Shen Lan was broken, and they finally got along like a mother and daughter. This could be considered a reward for her occupying the original owner's body.

There was a knock on the door, and Shen Lan pushed it open, holding a bag in her hand, "Try it?"

Shen Xingyan took it and opened it. It was a whole set of cosmetics from a certain brand. Her eyes lit up. "Did you get the agency rights?"

“It was too difficult to be a provincial agent, but I got a city agent.”

"That's good too, congratulations."

"I think it's good too. As soon as I got the agency rights, orders started coming to me." Shen Lan's eyes were shining and her whole body was glowing. It turns out that doing something you love is different. Maybe she is not suitable to be a police officer at all.

Chen Lan glanced at the professional book on the table. There was a picture of internal organs in the book. She looked away and said, "In previous years, your father would come once during the Chinese New Year. This time, such a big thing happened to me and he didn't come. You should take some time to go see him." Her words were full of concern.

Shen Xingyan nodded and said, "I'll go after get off work tomorrow."

…

The early morning in March was still very cold, the sky was just getting light and there were few pedestrians on the road. A fecal suction truck was parked next to the public toilet. Old Han jumped off the truck, wearing heavy work clothes, opened the manhole cover, and put the pipe in. I climbed into the car again and turned on the machine. A rumbling sound was heard, accompanied by an unpleasant smell.

He squatted on the side of the road and lit a cigarette. A sleepy face appeared in the smoke.

Suddenly, the machine started to idle. Lao Han stood up and looked inside, only to see a large bag of something that was blocking the machine from working.

Old Han threw away the cigarette butt and cursed, "Who the hell is so lacking in public morality and throwing things around?" He lay on the ground and reached in to take it, but the kiln shaft was too deep and he couldn't reach it. He walked into the car and took out a stick from under the back seat with a hook tied to the other end.

I used the hook end to hook it. The thing was a bit heavy, and every time I hooked it up a little, it fell down again. Old Han was completely furious and ran to make a phone call. After more than half an hour, another manure suction truck drove over and a man got out of the truck, smiling, "What's the matter? Have you encountered any problems?"

"Stop talking. I don't know which wicked person with smoke threw something into the kiln shaft! Did you bring a ladder?"

"I brought it." Lao Gao took out a folding ladder from under the back seat of the car, lengthened the ladder, and put it into the kiln shaft.

Lao Han said, "I'll go down, you help me answer it."

"Be careful."

Old Han went down carefully and reached out to pull the package. The package was very heavy and it was a bit difficult to lift it with one hand. "Throw a rope down."

"Wait."

After a while, the rope came down, and Lao Han tied the package with the rope. Lao Gao pulled it up, saying, "What can be so heavy?" His face turned red from holding it in.

Old Han came out of the kiln shaft, put away the ladder, and said, "Open it and take a look."

The package was covered in dirt and smelled bad, and one could vaguely tell that it was packed in a woven bag. Lao Gao untied the rope and then untied the tape wrapped around the package. He tore open a corner of the woven bag, revealing a mass of flesh and blood. The meat had changed color and emitted a foul odor.

Lao Gao cried out, and Lao Han said, "Throwing leftover pork into the kiln is like a full man not knowing the hunger of a hungry man." He stretched out his hand and tore the opening of the woven bag wider, and unexpectedly a hand fell out. The hand was rotten, and maggots were crawling on it.

Old Han’s face turned pale instantly, his eyes widened, and he was shaking like a sieve. “Die, die, die, die, he’s dead! Ugh—” He bent over and vomited violently.

Lao Gao screamed and sat on the ground in fear, then he rolled out, "Dead, dead! Someone's dead!"
