Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Commission 7: The Blood Swaddling Abandoned in the Cold Winter...
Chapter 33
New Year’s Eve is coming soon. This is the first time in Qin Ye’s two lifetimes that he will celebrate the New Year with his family.
Early that morning, Sun Jinfeng and Qin Guman got up early to fry meatballs, with Qin Ze helping them. The whole yard was filled with the aroma of meatballs.
Qin Ye finished two sets of college entrance examination math questions in the room. Seeing his accuracy rate constantly improving, he felt more and more confident.
She still had the basic knowledge of Chinese and English from her previous life, but she had forgotten some contents of math and comprehensive science. After half a year of careful instruction from Zhang Zhongjian, almost all the knowledge that had been forgotten was recovered.
"sister."
Qin Ze held a bowl of meatballs with pointed tips and poked his head out of the door to look at Qin Ye. "My parents just fried some meatballs. I'll serve you a bowl. Would you like to try it first?"
She hooked her finger, motioning Qin Ze to come in: "Okay, thank you Xiaoze."
Qin Ze placed the bowl of meatballs on the table for her like he was offering her a treasure, and glanced at the homework she had finished on her table. He said awkwardly, "Sister, take a rest when you have nothing to do. Don't be too tired."
I usually investigate cases every day, and when I finally get a few days off, I still have to write questions day and night.
Qin Ze felt tired for Qin Ye just by watching. Now he only wanted to quickly open a tailor shop with Qin Guman. He had seen in the provincial capital that many tailor shops had opened chains and the owners of the tailor shops all drove cars!
His family’s tailor shop was able to succeed thanks to the shop found by his sister. When he and his father make money, they will definitely buy a car for his sister!
Qin Ze is not very good at expressing his concern for others with his mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, before Qin Ye could react, his ears turned red.
Qin Ye stared at Qin Ze's red ears and found it funny.
She opened the desk drawer and took out the New Year's money for Qin Ze. Unexpectedly, at the same time, Qin Ze also handed her a red envelope.
"Happy New Year, Ozawa."
"Happy New Year, sis."
The two said in unison.
Qin Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise, thinking that this might be the mysterious connection between twins.
…
The New Year was spent harmoniously in a happy family atmosphere.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Qin Ye prepared to go to He Gongan's house to pay New Year's greetings as agreed with Li Quan. She was waiting for Li Quan at the police station door, carrying homemade snacks and wine bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
As she was waiting, a system commission notification suddenly rang in her ears.
[Received a commission from Melinda, please check it.
Location: Wuning County;
Commission: Please help me find my biological parents who abandoned me;
Reward: A small courtyard in the county town]
At the same time, Qin Ye discovered that the system's live broadcast room seemed to have been upgraded, and the live broadcast content could be projected directly into her brain.
Ever since the Jincun evil cult case, when the system revealed to her that the chief immortal was Wen Qun, the system's attitude towards her seemed to be no longer as routine and cold as before, and it was willing to tell her more about other things, just like now -
[In order to prevent invasion by external forces, the live broadcast room has been specially upgraded to ensure the life safety of the host. 】
After the system finished speaking, the content of the live broadcast room automatically appeared in Qin Ye’s mind.
…
The person opposite this time was a girl in her twenties. She was wearing a high-end spring dress from a luxury brand and sitting in a room full of European style. She had a smile on her face and said, "Hello, Officer Qin. I'm Melinda, an overseas Chinese from Country A."
Melinda was different from all the clients Qin Ye had met before.
The other clients all exuded a sense of lifelessness and desolation to varying degrees, but Melinda was exceptionally high-spirited, her exotic makeup brimming with vitality.
"Officer Qin, I was abandoned by my biological parents in the first month of 198X. Of course, a few months later, I was adopted by my current parents. As you can see, I am now living a very comfortable and wealthy life. I hope you can help me find my biological parents who abandoned me. Of course -"
Melinda lifted her beautiful fingernails and blew a breath, "As long as you help me find them, it will be fine. I don't want to go back to them. I just want to find them in my world through the clues you provided. Let them see how well I am living now."
After listening to Melinda's story, Qin Ye was not willing to accept the commission.
Melinda can completely hire a private detective in her own world to help her find her relatives. Instead of finding her through a cross-time and space commission, asking her to find the parents who abandoned Melinda in this world.
The live broadcast room became unusually lively due to Molinda's unusual commission.
[Officer Qin, answer it!] Pick it up! I love watching face-slapping scenes the most. The daughter who was abandoned back then is now living a happy middle-class life in a foreign country. The parents who abandoned their own flesh and blood must be regretting it to their core! 】
[hhhhh, that's right. In that era, most of the people who abandoned baby girls were those who favored boys over girls! They should see that their abandoned daughter is much happier than they are. 】
[It’s better not to answer it. This is such a waste of Officer Qin’s energy! Why do you have to find Officer Qin for such a trivial matter? Why don't you hire a private detective? 】
[That’s right, I’ve applied for commissions from Officer Qin countless times, but it’s not my turn yet. Can’t I take over? 】
[Melinda, have you made up your mind? If your biological parents are really found and they take you back home under pressure, your good life now may be over! 】
Of course, Melinda couldn’t see Qin Ye’s barrage.
She thought about it and did not reject Melinda outright. Instead, she said, "I hope you can think it over carefully. If I accept the commission and successfully help you find your biological parents, I will return you to them on behalf of the police, or send you to a welfare institution. I cannot guarantee whether you can live a happy life in the future like you do now."
After hearing her clearly explain the pros and cons, Melinda showed a hesitant look on her face: "Then I'll think about it. When I think it through, I will convey my thoughts to you directly through the system."
…
The live broadcast connection between the two was interrupted here.
Qin Ye came back to her senses and saw Li Quan walking towards her alone, carrying large and small bags of New Year's goods. The person he had been talking about many times was not with him.
She was a little surprised, after all, Li Quan had said before the New Year that he would bring his girlfriend to visit He Gongan's home to pay New Year's greetings.
Of course, she was tactful enough not to ask any more questions.
Li Quan couldn't help himself. When he saw her, he frowned and complained to her: "Qin Ye, what's wrong with being a police officer? Being a police officer is so good. But my girlfriend... oh, no, now my ex-girlfriend. Her family heard that I was a police officer and they would never agree to our marriage no matter what."
Yesterday, Li Quan went to his girlfriend's home to wish her a happy new year. Her parents liked him but were not satisfied with his career.
Some people say that being a police officer is dangerous and tiring. A few days ago, the provincial capital's Public Security Bureau went on a mission and many police officers died at one time. It was so scary that it was even reported in the newspapers.
The other party's parents suggested that if Li Quan really wanted to marry their daughter, he should resign. His family will find a stable, formal job for Li Quan, and the two will get married after the first month of the lunar year.
Li Quan himself also tacitly agreed to the girl's parents' proposal.
Li Quan was unwilling to quit his job in public security, so he reluctantly chose to break up with his girlfriend.
"I have always thought that when I grow up I must become a police officer and catch all the bad guys in the world."
Li Quan poured out all the bitterness in his heart, and his mood improved. He became happy again, "I have finally realized my dream, how can I just give up? ! ! I still want to be a police officer for life like Uncle He!"
Qin Ye watched Li Quan recover his spirits, swallowed the consolation that was about to come out of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Then I wish us all to be police officers in peace for the rest of our lives!"
Both of them were holding things in their hands, but they still raised their fists at the same time and bumped them in the air.
…
Qin Ye and Li Quan talked as they walked, passing the wasteland ahead, and soon they arrived at He Gongan's house.
The north wind howled, rustling the lush weeds, and the air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of blood.
Qin Ye stopped suddenly and pulled down the scarf that covered most of his face. The smell of blood became stronger with the wind.
Seeing that she was not leaving, Li Quan turned his head to look at her in confusion: "Qin Ye? What's wrong?"
"I smell blood."
As soon as Qin Ye said this, Li Quan pulled off his mask and indeed smelled a faint scent of blood in the wind.
The expressions of both of them turned grim. They followed the smell and walked deep into the wasteland. In the grass, lay a baby who was almost frozen to death. There were large patches of blood on her swaddling clothes, and her little face was also covered in blood.
Qin Ye quickly threw down what he was holding, took off his outermost cotton coat, and spread it out on the grass. At the same time, Li Quan also picked up the baby from the grass.
"Li Quan, unwrap the baby and put her in my clothes."
Li Quan hurriedly did as he was told.
Qin Ye rubbed the baby to keep him warm and checked the child at the same time. He was relieved to make sure that the bloodstains on the swaddling clothes did not belong to the baby.
As she moved, the baby soon recovered from the freezing and cried weakly like a kitten.
She quickly wrapped the baby tightly in her coat and said to Li Quan, "I'll hold her. Please help me get some things. Don't forget to take the baby's swaddling clothes."
Based on the pattern of cases that occurred before and after each commission, Qin Ye guessed that the baby girl she was holding in her arms now was probably Melinda who was abandoned by her parents.
But……
Her eyes fell on the bloody swaddling clothes in Li Quan's hand.
Judging from her experience, if the bloodstains on the swaddling clothes came from a certain person, then there was a high probability that this person would die from excessive blood loss.
Was Melinda really abandoned by her parents? Why is there so much blood on the swaddling clothes used to wrap the baby?
Is it possible that Melinda's parents were in danger and had to reluctantly abandon her in the wasteland?
Qin Ye thought that she had to accept Melinda's commission.
Only in this way could she find out the origin of the bloodstains on Melinda's swaddling clothes and the truth about why Melinda was abandoned.
…
Qin Ye and Li Quan took the baby girl to He Gongan's home.
He Gongan looked at the bloody swaddling clothes in Li Quan's hand and realized that there was another case. The smile on his face instantly faded, and he quickly ran to the next room and called Aunt He: "Mother, please take care of this baby first. Ye Ye, Xiao Quan and I will go investigate the case."
Aunt He heard police officer He calling her and came out of the house. Seeing the baby girl in Qin Ye's arms, she exclaimed: "Luckily we met Ye Ye and Xiao Quan, otherwise, this little baby would have frozen to death this winter!"
At the same time, the system's voice sounded——
[Melinda once again submitted a commission request to "find my biological parents for me." 】
Qin Ye held Melinda tightly in her arms and said to the system in her brain: "Okay, I'll accept this commission."
