Mystery Case Tracing [Criminal Investigation]

Chapter 9 Are you really dumped?

After watching the sunrise, I went to the mine pit-the pit of merit with two bombs and one star. Then the two went to the birch forest.

Although it was still August, the edge of the leaves had a light golden color that was lightly swept, as if a paintbrush was gently brushing over the edge of the leaves, and the golden sunlight seemed to be more yellow when hitting it.

“It’s a little bit early now, and twenty days later, all these leaves will turn yellow, and the red leaves on the mountain over there will come out. The yellow, green and red colors are very beautiful” in the quiet and empty birch forest , Yan Mu’s soft voice revealed a lazy softness.

The two of them walked quietly in the birch forest like this. No one spoke. Occasionally, there was the rustle of leaves underfoot and the sound of Yan Mu’s camera shutter.

After walking through the dense woods, I came to an open field with slanting hillsides in the distance.

“Do you think those two trees are so special?” Yan Mu raised his finger to two tall trees near the hillside in the distance.

“Um ” Qi Chuchen followed Yan Mu’s hand and looked over. He hugged one hand on his chest, one hand rubbed his chin with his fingers, with a slightly interesting expression on his face.

The two trees in the distance, one is verdant and tall, and the other has yellow leaves. They are obviously different species, but they are very similar in terms of height and overall outline.

“The two trees: one is a pine tree and the other is a white birch. In autumn, the leaves of the birch begin to turn yellow. When winter comes, there are not many leaves on the branches. The snow falls one after another, and the branches of the two trees are accumulated. The white snow that will not melt until spring arrives, the weather gets warmer and new buds emerge, gradually turning green, summer is lush, and autumn continues to turn yellow.” Yan Mu introduced the alternation of the four seasons of the two trees.

“From teenager to white head.” Qi Chuchen commented.

Yan Mu turned his head and looked at Qi Chuchen’s face, “Yes, so these two trees are called husband and wife trees.”

The roots are firmly in the ground; the leaves are touching in the clouds. Every gust of wind blows, we greet each other, but no one understands our words. —Shu Ting “To the Oak Tree”

The two walked through the birch forest again and walked out along the Irtysh River.

“Do you really plan to drive by yourself?” Qi Chuchen asked jokingly.

“Huh?” Yan Mu didn’t quite understand Qi Chuchen’s sudden question.

“I think it’s a shame to see such a beautiful scenery alone. So when you planned to come, you were really alone? Didn’t you get the pigeons temporarily released by your girlfriend, or you were dumped?” Qi Chuchen smiled more clearly.

“My girlfriend doesn’t have it. I haven’t had it for many years. I have been alone in many beautiful scenery. I have long been accustomed to it. To say that today’s scenery is a pity to be seen by myself. This is not because you happen to be there.” Yan Mu turned his head and looked Qi Chuchen answered seriously. Both of them wear sunglasses that cover most of their faces, so no one knows what kind of fireworks are behind the other’s sunglasses.

“Yes, there is me! That’s right.” Qi Chuchen raised his foot and continued walking.

When I left Coco Tuohai, it was after 12 o’clock Beijing time. The lunch in Xinjiang had not yet started. The two negotiated. When the roadside saw the restaurant bought some freshly baked naan, the baked buns continued to drive on the road. Eat while walking.

Along the Irtysh River all the way to the west, the blue sky and white clouds, large tracts of grass, the natural picture formed by herds of cattle and sheep are quiet and beautiful. There are not many cars on the road. It is easy to get sleepy on this road. There are two people on the way. There was a couple of chats, and they were originally meant to get rid of sleepiness, but the more they knew, the more they would chat. The growth experience in the discourse is completely different, but the work background is not abrupt, and the blending is just right.

When you see the beautiful scenery on the road, you stop, take pictures, smoke a cigarette, relax and move on.

After walking and stopping for a few hours, there were more and more large tracts of grass, and there were more yurts for herders on both sides of the road. Qi Chuchen began to slow down and always pay attention to the situation on both sides of the road and in front of him.

A large gray-white carpet floated from the grass not far in front. When it reached the highway, there were several cracks in the carpet. The cracks became bigger and bigger. After being completely torn, they scattered all over the road and ran away.

Qi Chuchen, who had been paying attention to the road conditions, decisively stepped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel at the same time. Yan Mu, who was immersed in pouring water on Qi Chuchen, did not have time to see this scene outside the window.

The inertia caused by the sudden turning of the brake, the cup in his hand, and the water in the kettle splashed out. Yan Mu subconsciously controlled the inertia in his hand. The water did not splash on Qi Chuchen, but on the cup holder next to the driver’s seat. Qi Chuchen’s phone was lying in it, and it was instantly flooded with hot water.

“Wow ” Qi Chuchen turned his head and saw Yan Mu put down the cup before grabbing the phone, and grabbed Yan Mu’s finger:

“hot!”

Qi Chuchen quickly swept Yan Mu’s body and his legs: “The sheep are frightened, are you doing anything? Is it hot?”

Yan Mu missed a beat. It was not until the slight coolness of Qi Chuchen’s fingertips passed through that the normal beat was restored. Yan Mu let Qi Chuchen grab his hand “your phone…”

In order to prove its existence, the screen of the entire cell phone soaked in the hot water flashed quickly, and it went black with a beep.

“What’s the phone, don’t you get it hot.” Qi Chuchen let go of Yan Mu’s hand, took out the gloves from the side box, put on the gloves, grabbed the phone twice, and threw it on the bridge.

The frightened sheep had already run for most of the time. In order to avoid disturbing them again, Qi Chuchen drove the car slowly across this section of the road, then drove a little further, and found a way far away from the flock. The cattle stopped on the side of the road. The first thing I did when I stopped, I grabbed Yan Mu’s hands and took a closer look.

“Don’t worry, it’s not hot.” Yan Mu pulled out his hands and took the tissue, before reaching out to clean up the water in the cup holder, trying to do something to hide his panic.

“Slap!” Qi Chuchen slapped Yan Mu’s hand, “Are you scared stupid? The water is still hot, let it cool before you let it go, just leave me a cigarette.”

Qi Chuchen took the cigarette that Yan Mu handed over and put it in his mouth, Yan Mu lit the fire and handed it to Qi Chuchen. Qi Chuchen lowered his head and habitually put his hands together in the fire, and his fingertips again inadvertently touched the back of Yan Mu’s hand.

This time, Yan Mu’s heart fell, and he didn’t jump up again for a long time… This day is probably impossible. . . . . .

Qi Chuchen opened the car window, his left arm was bent on the window frame, his left side face was facing outside the window and his wrist rested, and his right hand was resting on his elbow with a cigarette. The smoke that was spit out, the smoke that was burning was scattered outside the window, and it didn’t leak into the car at all.

Yan Mu, who was sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, was breathing almost still, greedily looking at Qi Chuchen’s profile, watching Qi Chuchen smoke, and continued to doze on his wrist after smoking a cigarette.

If time can stand still, I believe Yan Mu can look at it this way forever. It’s a pity that time couldn’t stand still. Qi Chuchen quickly woke up, shook his head, looked at his watch and said:

“This vacation can be taken anytime and anywhere. We are almost in Burqin ahead, shall we live in Burqin tonight or continue to move forward?” Turning around, pulling a handful of tissues and burying our heads in the cup holder to clean up the water. He threw the ball of paper into the trash bag.

“Probably less than an hour to reach Burqin. Let’s have dinner in Burqin. After eating, we will continue to Habahe County. By the way, we can stop at Wucai Beach to watch the sunset. We will stay in Habahe tonight. Booked the accommodation.” Yan Mu looked at the navigation and said.

“Okay, I saw the sunrise and sunset today, a perfect day.” Qi Chuchen started the car.

“You took a long vacation? Don’t your police rarely have vacations?” Yan Mu asked.

“Sick leave. I was injured when I was arrested in the previous paragraph.” Qi Chuchen downplayed.

Yan Mu’s heart tightened: “Where is it hurt? Is it serious?”

“Legs, it’s okay, it’s not serious. If it’s serious, I won’t be able to get out. It’s all over. What do you think we have to eat at night, Burqin is a county seat? It should not be small, it should be a lot.” Qi Chuchen I didn’t understand the reason why I didn’t want to continue to talk about the injury, so I changed the subject in due course.

“There is a specialty fish in Altay region that basically only lives in the Irtysh River that we pass by. It is called pike, or “Joertai” in Kazakh. Because the water of the Irtysh River is low all year round, so The growth of this fish is relatively slow, the meat is tender, the taste is elastic, and the taste is fresh and sweet. Burqin should have a lot of shops specializing in this kind of fish. We will find a home to try it later.” Yan Mu took out his mobile phone and began to check the restaurant. By the way, booked the night’s accommodation.

When the car drove into Burqin County, the sun was still hanging diagonally in the sky, and people came and went in the county. Based on the information previously checked by Yan Mu, the two found a store that is said to be very famous in the area, and walked into the store. There were no other guests except the waiter. This point was not dinner time in Xinjiang.

Two people ordered a pike for two meals: braised and stir-fried. Ordered another stewed lamb, the boss kept talking too much, two people couldn’t finish it. Yan Mu and Qi Chuchen insisted that not too much, not too much, certainly not wasting after eating.

After ordering the food, Qi Chuchen took out his mobile phone and took out the mobile phone card, and said: “I’ll go out and get a mobile phone, and I will be back soon.”

“I’ll accompany you. I will spoil you. I should pay you a new one.” Yan Mu got up and followed.

“Come on, if you pay for it, you just wait, don’t follow.” Qi Chuchen looked at Yan Mu and still wanted to follow. “I’m angry, sit back.”

When Yan Mu heard this, he had to sit back honestly and watch Qi Chuchen turn around and go out.

Although it is the county seat, after all, it is the county seat of the Western Regions Frontier Fortress. Qi Chuchen walked into the mobile phone shop and looked at a dazzling array of cool and unheard-of-brand mobile phones placed in the display cabinet, like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. Fortunately, Qi Chuchen has a clear goal, just buy something that works.

In the end, I chose an ultra-thin and large screen, fast multi-core CPU, facial fingerprint recognition, SLR camera, high-definition beauty, and built-in Bluetooth headset.

Did Qi Chuchen choose this one because of its awesome features? Do not! Only this one is available in black, and it is cheaper, 300 yuan!

After installing the card for the money, I quickly turned on the phone, looked at half of the electricity, and quickly called Zhang Chao, but Zhang Chao never answered it. Qi Chuchen felt uneasy
