Chapter 23 3. Behind the tranquility lies a greater crisis

Over the next month or so, Ye'er became cautious and sensitive, even a little nervous. After work, Ye'er went to the kindergarten to pick up his son, then drove to Mi Hongqi's company to wait for him to get off work, and then the family of three went home together.After dinner, Mi Hongqi watched TV, and Ye Er sat beside him to review documents or read books.Even if she was going to the toilet, Ye'er wanted Mi Hongqi to wait outside and chat with her. The previous unhappiness seemed to have dissipated. However, the temporary tranquility did not improve Mi Hongqi's mood, but instead made him feel that some kind of crisis was gradually approaching him.He didn't know why he felt that way.He even smelled a strong smell of blood, which was emanating from a hidden corner of the room...

Fortunately, more than a month has passed, and no more horrible things have happened, and the relationship between mother and child seems to be gradually improving.Only a few times, when Mi Hongqi was working in the studio and Ye Er was sitting on the sidelines reading a book, Mi Hongqi noticed that Mi Ding was hiding outside the door and peeping in secretly, with something inexplicable in his eyes. But that's okay too. That night, Mi Hongqi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and he knew that Ye'er didn't sleep either. Mi Hongqi spoke first: "Should my son be in preschool?"

"En." Ye'er replied indifferently, as if she was talking about a neighbor's child. Mi Hongqi was furious, and he raised his voice slightly: "What's your attitude? You are Midin's biological mother!" Ye'er was not to be outdone: "What attitude? Does he treat me as his mother?" "Children don't have that much thought. If you treat him sincerely, he won't reject you." Mi Hongqi's tone softened. "Sincerely? Mi Hongqi, you have to speak with your conscience. Am I not good enough to Mi Ding? Have you done half of the things like breastfeeding and changing diapers before?" Ye'er sneered in the dark.Mi Hongqi's heart trembled.

"I'm talking about the heart, the feeling, not the trivial things." Ye'er cried out loudly: "Do you know my thoughts and feelings again? My life...why is it so bitter..." Mi Hongqi panicked immediately: "Okay, okay, I don't want to quarrel with you today, I just want... I want to send Midin to the elementary school where you work for preschool. I originally planned to send him to a noble school, but later Think about it carefully, it’s better to send you to school, maybe doing so can ease the relationship between your mother and child.” "Send Midin to my school?" Ye'er stopped crying.

"yes." After a long time, just when Mi Hongqi thought she would be rejected, Ye Er suddenly said coldly: "That's how it is." Another month passed. Because Ye'er went to the Municipal Education Bureau for a meeting that day, Mi Hongqi had no choice but to pick up her son from school in person.Along the way, Midin didn't say a word, as if he had something on his mind.When the car turned into the block where his house was located, Miding suddenly said, "Dad, can I change to another school?" Mi Hongqi looked at her son, but said nothing. After dinner, Ye'er went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Mi Ding brought up the old story again: "Dad, can I change schools?"

"Change school? Why do you want to change? Mom is the principal of your school, so she can take good care of you." Mi Hongqi patiently enlightened her son. Midin suddenly fell silent. At this time, Ye'er brought out the cut fruit, and seeing the weird expressions of both father and son, she put the fruit plate heavily on the tea table with a cold face, turned and went back to the kitchen. Miding watched his mother walk into the kitchen, and then said again: "It's really not possible, then Dad comes to pick me up and drop me off from get out of class every day, okay?"

"You haven't told Dad why yet." "I don't want to be with that bad woman!" "Bad woman?!" This is the second time Mi Hongqi heard his son say that.When did the son learn to say this word?And who taught him?Mi Hongqi couldn't figure it out. "Son, she is your mother. It's impolite not to speak of her like this." "She was originally a bad woman!" When he said this, Midin was literally gnashing his teeth. Just when Mi Hongqi was at a loss because of his son's words, Ye Er's cold voice came out from the bathroom: "Mi Ding, come and take a bath!"

In the next week, Mi Ding mentioned to Mi Hongqi several times about transferring schools. Mi Hongqi finally gave in and agreed to pick up Mi Ding to and from get out of class every day, but she couldn't bear to tell Ye Erming, so she had to lie to her that he There is too little time to spend with the children, so he is responsible for picking up Miding. After Ye'er heard this, she didn't have any special reaction, she just said something indifferent, "That's good". From then on, Mi Hongqi sent Mi Ding to school first in the morning, and then went to work.After sending Midin home in the afternoon, let him play at home alone, while he went out to meet with clients to discuss business.After a month, I was a little tired, but fortunately, everything was fine.

That night, Mi Hongqi and his old classmate Xu Ming were reminiscing about the past in the bar. …My dear, you fly slowly, be careful of the roses with thorns in front of you… When the two were chatting, Mi Hongqi's cell phone rang suddenly. He smiled at Xu Ming embarrassedly, and then took out the cell phone. It was Ye'er who called, and Mi Hongqi's heart couldn't help but tremble.Ye'er seldom calls him, especially when he has entertainment outside.Could it be that some accident happened?Mi Hongqi's finger hung over the button, hesitating whether to answer it or not.

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Is it my sister-in-law checking the post? What are you waiting for, pick it up!" Mi Hongqi smiled awkwardly, but felt very uncomfortable.Originally, he was going to pick up his son home today, but his son himself said that he would give his father a holiday, and he would go home with his mother at night.Mi Hongqi was naturally very happy when she heard this, at least it was a signal of improvement in the relationship between mother and child, so she didn't say anything else. After thinking about it, his fingers hanging in the air finally fell down. "Ye'er, what's the matter? I have a social event outside."

Suddenly there was intermittent crying from the other end of the microphone: "Husband, can you come to the criminal police team of the city bureau now? I... I'm really scared!" "Interpol? What happened?" "Midin...Midin told the police that I killed someone!" When Mi Hongqi rushed to the criminal police team in a hurry, several police officers were taking notes for the tear-stained Ye Er.And Midin was sitting on a bench not far away, watching everything that happened in front of him indifferently. Interpol Xiao Zhang briefly introduced the situation to Mi Hongqi. At around 6 o'clock in the evening, 110 received a report call from a child.The child kept saying that her mother had killed someone and buried her in an iron box under the flower bed at home. Ten minutes later, the police drove to Mi Hongqi's house, startling Ye'er who was preparing dinner.Soon, they dug out a large iron box in the flower bed.There were a few paper charms to exorcise evil spirits pasted on the lid of the box, but they had been torn apart.Opening the box, there was a boy's body curled up inside. It was confirmed that he had been dead for no more than three hours. The deceased was a primary school student at Ye'er's school, named Fuming. Hearing Xiao Zhang's words, Mi Hongqi's eyes burst into gold stars. He would rather believe that tomorrow is the end of the world than that Ye'er will kill someone, and he still hides...in that iron box! "Officer Zhang, besides the boy's body, was there anything else found in that iron box? For example, a human spine, hand bones, etc.?" Mi Hongqi asked nervously. Xiao Zhang frowned and said, "In addition, at the bottom of the iron box, some baby bones were also found, but...there is no spine as you mentioned." "No spine?" Mi Hongqi walked towards the bench in a daze.
