Chapter 38: Don't Go to the Hospital
When I woke up again, I saw the scenery outside the window retreating rapidly, and under the street lamp, the ornamental trees planted on both sides were yellow and green, showing that autumn was coming. Li Lu sat in the driver's seat next to me, driving intently, not noticing my mental change.
This scene is somewhat familiar, as if it happened not long ago. I rubbed my eyes and saw that I was wearing a seat belt, but I couldn't remember how I got into the car. Obviously in the shell nail salon, next to Guan Linlin's corpse, Li Lu asked me why I was there, and was about to take me back to the bureau for questioning, and then, and then I seemed to faint?
"Hey, Li Luo?" I didn't notice him, so I had to call him. "Where are we going?"
"Go to the hospital", he shook his body when he heard my voice, looked sideways at me, and breathed a sigh of relief, "You just fainted, and the medical examiner said that it may be because the air in that room is not well ventilated, and your brain is deprived of oxygen." ”
"Forensic ...... "Although I look like a human being now, if the forensic doctor feels my pulse and finds that I am lifeless, wouldn't it expose the fact that I am a dead person?"
"No, Lao Guan is busy examining the body, let me take you to the hospital for an examination." I must admit that this forensic doctor would rather see the corpse than look at me, which is really the conscience of the police and a model in the industry.
"Well, then we don't have to go to the hospital, I'm fine", I put my mind at ease, sat up straight, and stretched. I want to hurry back to my apartment and study the talisman and all the weird things about today.
"No", Li Lu vetoed it very simply, and didn't give me room to continue to explain at all, "You have already fainted once last night, twice in a row, it's not a trivial matter." "After listening to his reasoning, I really regret lying to him yesterday. Sure enough, if you tell a lie, you have to pay it back with a thousand lies.
"I'm fine, you see, I'm not alive. ”
Li Lu ignored me, and used his silence to show that he was in control of the off-road vehicle. Judging by the buildings outside the car window, we are on our way to the central hospital, and we are about to arrive. It won't be long before my story will appear in the headlines of all corners of this time and space as news material, "Blockbuster discovery, do zombies really exist?", "Young girls have lost their vital signs, and scientific dissection is still inconclusive", if you are lucky, you may also set off a heated discussion on Douban about "why people are human".
"I'm serious, if you don't stop, I'll jump out of the car right now", this is not the ending I wanted, so I can only choose this radical method to solve the problem. I touched the car door with my hand, with a sad look on my face that I forgot to die and a strong man broke his wrist, and turned around to threaten Li Lu.
"I locked the car door, you can't open it", I didn't expect that I would use this way, or maybe I felt that I was stupid, Li Luo actually laughed out loud, so that I couldn't stretch out, I didn't stretch out, and I was in a dilemma holding the door handle. He slowed down, pulled up from the emergency lane on the side of the road, stared at me earnestly, like a parent about to send a crying child to kindergarten, and finally decided to convince people.
"Why not?"
Why don't you go, it's not because of you. The outline of the central hospital was already clearly visible, and I took advantage of his stop to put down my hand, racing against time to prevaricate his words.
"I'll tell you the truth, when I was a child, I went to the hospital for injections and left a shadow, which caused me to have convulsions and spasms when I saw the doctor, which was very serious, much worse than fainting occasionally. "No matter who tells me this rhetoric, I won't believe it. When it comes out of my own mouth, I feel a little poignant and moving. Since I met Li Lu, I have evolved from an honest and trustworthy good citizen to a lying king who doesn't need to make drafts.
"What kind of twitch?" the smile on the corner of Li Lu's mouth grew.
"That's it...... Well, do you know the dancing god, or the ghost upper body, is the kind of convulsions that lie on the ground and foam at the mouth, very serious...... "His questions are too tricky, I have to make it up, and I have to roll my eyes and imitate it with emotion, and the more I talk about it, the more I feel stupid."
Li Lu held back a laugh, and finally couldn't help it, and laughed loudly. He laughed and rubbed his fingers against his temples as if he were feeling a headache for me.
"Please, send me home, and treat you to dinner next time. "Seeing that his seriousness began to loosen, I was cheeky and struck while the iron was hot, it doesn't matter if I am embarrassed now, I will block his WeChat when I go back. "Please, please. ”
"I really can't help you", Li Luo glanced at me meaningfully, and his tone was fluttering, swaying into my ears. I actually heard a hint of pampering in it? Although Li Lu's handsome face was not annoying, the thought still made me shudder. I recall the day I first met Li Luo, the day I was in Fengbo Village, the day I was in the abandoned factory, in fact, the days I knew him were only a handful, but I had already seen him in a variety of lines that were serious, hearty, or brave, and we were no longer restrained when we got along, but more like old friends for many years.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little sorry, maybe because the sudden coma made my conscience discover, or it could be because of Li Lu's unconditional accommodation and trust. Tonight's encounter at the Shell Nail Salon was a false alarm for both of us, but I must admit that my presence was even more inopportune and could not be reasonably explained.
"Li Lu, tonight's ...... Forget it, I'll tell you a story", watching Li Lu turn around and drive in the direction of home, I began to find my conscience from the lies everywhere, "Once upon a time, there were two children, who were airsoft in the playground, and the little boy wanted a little rooster, so he kept shooting at the little rooster. Another little girl wants a little hen, and guess what she's going to say?"
"What?" asked me cooperatively.
"Hit the hens, beat the hens. "I'm sorry. ”
Li Lu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, his eyes lowered. "I swear I really have nothing to do with Cao Ke and Guan Linlin's case, although I always appear near the scene of the crime, and I happen to be able to find their bodies, but I definitely haven't done anything illegal and undisciplined, you can take me for a private investigator or something...... Anyway, I want to say that I may have something to hide, but I definitely deserve your trust. ”
"I should apologize", Li Lu ignored my heartfelt confession, and after a short silence, he suddenly spoke, "It was I who brought you into the mystery of Cao Keguan Linlin's death, causing you to be in danger with me yesterday." I didn't want to involve you anymore, but today I pointed a gun at you, this is the opposite of what I wanted. He said in an extremely light tone, "No matter what the reason, I, as a people's policeman, should protect ...... Well, the masses, you. ”
"Then it's good that you, a comrade policeman, didn't shoot indiscriminately today like yesterday, otherwise hahahaha," I remembered the sound of gunfire in the darkness of the dilapidated factory, in an attempt to ease the touching atmosphere of mutual examination between us.
"Although I chose to trust, I still hope that you will not hide it and stop acting without permission. "I think that's the point of his conversation.
"That's good, what progress has there been in this case after that, we have communicated with each other, and we will work together to catch that Heavenly Master as soon as possible, that is, the one who went to Fengbo Village to sell corpses and marry them. I'll promise not to mess with you again, okay. I raised my hand again and made a sworn gesture, "You don't have to be so serious, let's count ourselves as friends now, and we don't have to be so serious when we count friends." I still like when I first met you, a really straight man in the sunshine, a good neighbor in life......"
"Straight man?"
"No, no, you heard me wrong. ”
