Hidden Assassin

In early 2004, Yujiang City.

Not long after New Year's Day. Rolling dark clouds covered the sky so dark it looked like it was about to snow. Mu Qingqing closed the door, shook the windbreaker, and threw it on the hanger. The room was lit with warm yellow lights. Singing came from the TV. It is the theme song of the tvb version of "Life is Beautiful". Andy Lau sang "Beauty with Defects", and then the little girl jumped off the sofa. Wear slippers. Tapping voice: "Sister, are you back?"

"I can't believe it. You and Mom can really do it. After running so far, you can still get someone to go on a blind date with me..." After changing her slippers, she walked into the room and saw her younger sister in a goose-yellow sweater jumping. Bounced over to pick up the paper bag in her hand: "What?"

"Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar. Fresh from the pan."

"Wow. I love it."

"Where's mother?" Mu Qingqing glanced at the few rooms inside, but he couldn't see his mother, so he was a little puzzled.

"I'm going to buy vegetables. It's just the market outside. I finally came here once and told me to make you something delicious." Mu Zhenzhen peeled a chestnut and threw it in her mouth, showing a gossip expression. "Sister. How do you feel when you met that person today?"

"I'm not even mentally prepared." Mu Qingqing frowned. "I'm very happy that you and mom finally came here from Jianghai. Mom said she would ask me to go out. Anyway, if there is nothing to skip work, I will skip work. Who knew that I would go on a blind date again after running over there. To be honest, it's still local. People. When did Mom develop her network here? It’s like an organized dating group across regions..."

The younger sister laughed: "It's my aunt's second cousin, my third nephew's fifth nephew... oops. Anyway, it's just a messy line of relatives. You didn't go back last Chinese New Year. You still don't have a boyfriend yet. Mom spends all day Nagging at home. Then I found out that there is an unmarried man I know here, and the conditions seem to be pretty good. I have been busy for many days asking people to talk to me. Then I came here quickly. It happens that I also have a vacation. That's it... Seriously, how do you feel today? Could that guy be my brother-in-law?"

"When we met for the first time, what did it feel like? Mom ran away. We just chatted casually for a while." Mu Qingqing laughed. "I told him about the dangers of my job, and his face was obviously not good. I thought it would be wonderful if I went there in a police uniform."

"That's the end of the game..." Seeing her sister laughing like this, Mu Zhenzhen curled her lips. Lie down on the sofa. "Sister, you are already twenty-nine. If you don't get married, you will grow old."

"Oh, a woman must be nourished by a man to live, right?"

"No, but you have never found a regular boyfriend, and your mother always misses me at home, so I am only twenty-four years old. Very innocent."

"Hehe." For this younger sister. Mu Qingqing shook her head with a smile, and looked out the window, "You really chose the time to come here. The weather today. I haven't seen it for several years. It must be a heavy snow... I'll go and collect the clothes first."

Just walked into the room. I heard my younger sister yelling in the living room: "Sister, lend me the gun for fun!"

"No!" The female police officer suddenly appeared from the bedroom door.

"Let's just play..."

"no!"

"Oh." My sister's face became depressed. Head down to eat chestnuts.

Speaking of which, we remember. It has always been Mu Zhenzhen's life ideal for a girl with a sense of justice to follow her sister as a policeman, but her sister's role as a policeman is too aggressive. Occasionally, when she was injured and something happened, the family members were scared out of their wits. Later, although Mu Zhenzhen was admitted to the police academy. But when she came out to work officially, she was almost forced to die by her family to enter the government department as a civilian. It can be said that loyalty and filial piety cannot have both, from now on. Her ambition was worn down by the passage of time, and she coveted her sister's equipment all the more.

Of course, the propaganda slogan of the outside world is equality between men and women. But in some jobs, especially when it comes to police officers who actually solve crimes, women are under much more pressure than men. If he hadn't acted aggressively, Mu Qingqing would not have reached his current position in the police force. but. If you work too hard, you can't balance life. I made several boyfriends before and after, and was forced by my family to go on blind dates several times. They stopped after watching a few movies and shopping.

Although the appearance can be regarded as beautiful. Other conditions are also good. But get along after a while. People often feel that she puts a lot of pressure on people. She also felt that her boyfriend was hindering her work. In the past two years, she was promoted and transferred to Yujiang, a medium-sized city, to become the captain of the criminal police. She thought she would get rid of her parents' worries at home. It was only today that I was surprised to find that manpower can really conquer the sky, and my family is far away in the river and sea. It's actually possible to bring the media here.

The clothes were collected on the balcony outside the bedroom. When entering the living room. The mother's footsteps have also opened the door and came in. Seeing her coming back, her eyes lit up: "How is it? Qingqing, how do you feel today?"

"Uh. It's not bad. We left a phone number and will contact you later." Mu Qingqing said perfunctorily.

"Mom, I'll report it, my sister is lying, this one must be blowing up again."

"Mu Zhenzhen----"

"It doesn't matter if you tell me to gnash my teeth like this. I'm lenient with a sense of justice to prevent you from going astray. Who told you not to give me a gun for fun... ah----this is murder. Sure enough, everything is low-grade. The most poisonous woman's heart, Mu Qingqing, you even want to kill your own sister...Mom, look at her. She started to show her teeth and claws when she was told..."

"Mu Zhenzhen, I can't finish talking to you today!"

Seeing the little girl hiding behind her mother. Mu Qingqing gritted her teeth and said a few words, then glanced at her mother's face. Then he grabbed two pillows and fell down on the sofa with a bang, and began to act like an ostrich, even if his sister took the opportunity to come and kick her, he ignored it.

It was getting dark, and then it began to rain outside. Street lamps lit up one after another in the twilight, a home with warm yellow lights. Gradually spread the aroma of food. certainly. There is also the non-stop nagging of the woman who is the mother, and the younger sister watching TV. The older sister plays the ostrich, of course. After the food came out, the ostrich couldn't continue to pretend. While fighting openly and secretly with his sister at the dinner table, with a sad and educated expression on his face, when the phone rang suddenly, Mu Qingqing's face suddenly flashed a look of joy of "finally relieved".

"Hello..." for a moment. Her face became serious, "Okay, I understand. I'll be there right away... Mom. Little sister, I'm full and bad, and I have something to do. Come back at night. You don't have to wait for me.".

After hanging up the phone, she turned around and took out a pistol from the small cabinet at the back, put it in her waist, put on the coat with a bang, and made several movements in one go, always looking forward to her being such a heroic sister with starry eyes. Haven't had time to praise yet. My sister has already rushed into the rain with an umbrella...

Jiang Hai.

The hotel is resplendent and magnificent. In the sound of music. Chuan Yingsheng walked among the crowd holding a wine glass. This is the 2000 student gathering of Sacred Heart College. At present, most of the participants are already senior students. Just got back from vacation. Although there were some absentees, the size of the sixteen squads at the beginning was considered huge at this time.

Taking a glass of wine and walking among the crowd, Dongfang Wan had a faint and elegant smile on her face, greeting people she knew from time to time for more than three years. The childishness that was still on her face was washed away, and the enthusiasm and drive that was once displayed outside her face also began to become restrained. Confidence, arrogance, and a slight sense of distance may be the first impression most people will have of her. It's hard to make people feel intimacy in the first moment. but. Match the outstanding appearance. In the eyes of many men with high self-esteem, such a woman may instead make them have a great desire to conquer. Of course, there are many to try. The number of successes so far is still zero.

After walking among the crowd for a while, she and Xu Yiting met at the agreed place, more than three years ago. This is her best partner and sister, and one of her most trusted people. Of course, in the eyes of many people, what Xu Yiting plays may be just the maidservant beside the princess. Has been diligently cleaning up the mess after her waywardness.

"It's about time, it's not interesting. Let's go."

"Yu Feng seemed to be looking for you just now."

"Oh, I met him." Dongfang Wan nodded, "She said she wanted me to go up and talk, but I refused, and then asked me if I was free tomorrow... let's go."

The two women started to walk out, Xu Yiting had a playful smile on her face: "Did you promise?"

"He said he has something to talk about. Let's have dinner together at noon. I hope it's really something to do. I know that his family knows a few manufacturers of electronics. If you get online, it will always be useful in the future."

"I guess you didn't say a few words to him." Xu Yiting smiled. "He is studying in Europe. I talked to him just now. He said that he saw Ye Lingjing at the end of the year."

"Vienna?"

"Yeah. She plays the piano in a theater. It is said that she is still a little famous. A talented piano girl from the East. Yu Feng was busy at the time. He had to leave after listening to it for a while, and he couldn't find her. He said it was... ...I feel that the sound of the piano is very pure and melancholy..."

The two walked out of the hotel lobby. The startling wind came, Dongfang Wan was silent for a while: "Ye Lingjing...she hasn't been back for more than three years."

"Well. I have been to the martial arts hall to pay New Year's greetings in the past few years, but I haven't come back once." Xu Yiting nodded slightly, and sighed, "Including this year, it is the fourth year...".
