Early morning.

The sun shone on Hu Cheng's rented apartment.

I drank too much last night, and the alarm clock that Hu Cheng set for himself at seven o'clock didn't go off, but when he woke up, he found that there was a ...... on the bedside table Calculator in turn?

He found the phone from the ground.

Then, I looked at the time, and it was already seven fifty o'clock.

Being late for work must be inevitable, but Hu Cheng felt calmer.

He went to the bathroom, faced the mirror, and squeezed out a smile.

For him, laughter is just an expression, and it has nothing to do with happiness.

Xiao Li's death has caused great pressure on Hu Cheng, and as soon as he closes his eyes now, Xiao Li's shadow will appear in his mind......

Therefore, Hu Cheng could only use alcohol last night to numb his brain, so that he could free himself from the shadow of Xiao Li's death as soon as possible.

He pulled out a suit from his closet, picked out a high-end watch that he rarely wore, and layered his hair with styling water until the wind was not blowing.

He has always liked this kind of petty bourgeois life, especially to make the people around him feel that this is a rich and handsome doctor, a handsome doctor in Japanese dramas.

This can make Hu Cheng feel that he is superior, and that kind of vanity can be greatly satisfied.

But after facing a burst of longing outside the window, he still has to return to reality, and he still has to continue to work.

Because of the rent, car rent, and a lot of huge debts borrowed to buy luxury goods, all of which need to be supported by the wages of going to work.

That's right, Hu Cheng is a pseudo-rich handsome, everything is fake.

Of course, his feelings for Xiao Li are real, and he never denies this.

But today, Dr. Hu, who has never been late for work, may be unprecedentedly late.

Hu Cheng himself can't tell what kind of world he will face after he walks out of the house today?

Is everything calm? or are all kinds of dangers waiting for you?

But after looking back, he regained his confidence again.

Xiao Li is gone, there are Li Li, Zhao Li, and Wang Li waiting for him, and Hu Cheng doesn't want to be a cold-blooded person.

His mood right now is like a roller coaster......

Sometimes he climbs to the top, sometimes he falls into the abyss.

Just like the first time he decided to rent a luxury car to invite Xiao Li to dinner for the sake of vanity, his heart was bleeding when he watched a lot of money being squandered.

But when he saw Xiao Li, who had never been cold to him, and suddenly smiled at him and was courteous to him, Hu Cheng felt that all this might be worth it.

So he rented a car, rented a watch, rented a high-end apartment, and he would not hesitate to rent anything that could be rented in reality.

With more and more debts, Xiao Li's affection for him became stronger and stronger, until the two discussed marriage, discussed their future life, and then ......

Hu Cheng didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

He lit a cigarette and sat quietly on the head of the bed, feeling that life had finally started on him, and he could finally understand the meaning of "smoke and drink half a glass, smile more and don't shed tears for the rest of your life".

Suddenly, the mobile phone, which had been quiet, rang, and it was a call from the little nurse in the hospital who had been admiring him.

"Doctor Hu, are you sick today?"

"Nope. ”

"Then why didn't you come to work? I thought you were sick. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Hehe, I can't imagine that Dr. Hu, who is never late, also has a time when he is late, so I just said, no one is perfect. ”

"Hmm. ”

There was a brief silence on the phone for a few seconds......

The little nurse hesitated, "Dr. Hu, what's wrong with you today?" Do you need me to ask for a leave of absence for you?"

On the phone, there was suddenly no movement.

It wasn't until the little nurse heard Hu Cheng's sigh that the other party's line was suddenly cut off, and the little nurse was stunned.

"What's wrong with Dr. Hu?"

"He seems weird today?"

"Did you have a fight with his girlfriend?"

"No, right? The relationship between them is good, and they have reached the stage of talking about marriage. ”

"Hehe, they have broken down, don't you have a chance?"

The female colleagues around the little nurse couldn't help but smile "you know".

8:30.

Hu Cheng drove his rented open-top BMW into the parking lot of the Third Hospital.

Unplug your car keys and take off your sunglasses.

This was originally a very regular confident action of his own, but today, Hu Cheng felt a little ironic, and before he closed the car door and walked a few steps, he found three people standing in front of him.

Two men and one woman are dressed in casual clothes, but their appearance is very familiar.

"Who are you?" asked Hu Cheng.

"Hu Cheng, we met in Meishan Town yesterday, you won't forget it so soon, right?" Gu Chen showed a handsome smile.

At this moment, Hu Cheng suddenly felt that the handsomeness and temperament he had accumulated by money before had become unconfident in front of this man.

It is even said that it is a little timid.

That's right, the three people standing in front of him are the three policemen who came to deal with Xiao Li's case yesterday.

Hu Cheng felt that this moment would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

His acting skills were exhausted yesterday, and now he doesn't even know what mood to use to face the three people in front of him.

"Comrade policeman, I'm sorry for Xiao Li's death, I'm in a bad mood right now, please don't disturb me. Hu Cheng lowered his head and prepared to walk past Gu Chen's side.

Then what he didn't expect was that Gu Chen directly grabbed his hand, and then served in handcuffs.

"You, what do you want to do?" Hu Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes staring at Gu Chen.

"Hu Cheng, regarding Xiao Li's case, I need you to continue to assist in the investigation, come with us, right?" Gu Chen was also unceremonious.

Hu Cheng panicked, he panicked completely.

The alcohol has dissipated, and he can't make him show calmness, or look sad and angry at Xiao Li's death.

The current Hu Cheng can only be described as fear, although he knew that all this would definitely come, but he didn't expect it to be now, just the morning of the second day after Xiao Li's death.

"What are you kidding?" Hu Cheng cried and laughed: "Comrade policeman, the investigation will be investigated, and there is no need to handcuff me, right? This is a hospital, do you know what kind of serious impact this will have on my work?"

"Do you still know the impact?" Lu Weiwei on the side also hummed unceremoniously: "Hu Cheng, there is no need to pretend to be a gentleman in front of us, you are a clown at most." ”

"You...... What are you doing here?" Hu Cheng glared at Lu Weiwei with fear and anger in his eyes.

Officer Wang coughed twice and said, "Hu Cheng, don't go to work today, go to the police station with us to make it clear, as for what we want to ask, I think you should know it." ”

Comrade Wang's psychological hints made Hu Cheng's heart go up and down even more, completely messing up the rules.

Yesterday it happened, and he thought that when he woke up, everything would start again.

But now it seems that it is completely self-inflicted, and it should have come...... It's still coming.
