Sixty-two: The finale
Autumn in Liuchuan City came exceptionally early, it was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost dusk, a smooth business car stopped at the door of the Public Security Bureau, and the co-pilot got down a girl. She wore a new light blue dress, her long hair was softly curled over her back, and her bright eyes were a pale amber color in the dusk.
She pushed the door straight into the public security bureau, and the business car turned off the fire and stopped in place, waiting quietly, looking in from the front window, she could vaguely see the figure of a man, in a suit and leather shoes, with his head sideways, as if he had been looking at the girl's back.
The public security bureau was very calm at the moment, there was no one, the policemen on duty gathered in twos and threes to discuss the case, and there was an older man with a glass of wolfberry water in front of the table, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Hello, I'm going to file a police report. β
At the same time as the door opened, it was the voice of a young girl, her tone was very polite, her voice was not hurried, and she did not forget to turn around and bring the door lightly after entering.
The girl looks like a good girl, but the problem is that they are used to seeing angry, sad, and desperate, and in the public security bureau, emotional stability is the manifestation of unusual people, and a young policeman touched his nose in surprise and asked her, "What's your name?" β
The girl replied in a coherent manner, "Ruan Jing, the Ruan of the instrument, the scenery of the scenery." β
"What are you going to report?"
Ruan Jing frowned, hesitated for a moment before speaking again, with a little uncertainty, "Missing people...... bar. β
The young policeman looked serious, pulled out a watch, and asked, "Who is lost?"
"Me. β
The young policeman then stopped his movements and showed a "you are teasing me" expression.
Looking at everyone's strange expressions, Ruan Jing frowned and added: "It's true that I was lost, I have amnesia, I don't know anything about the past three years, and I don't know why I came to Liuchuan, so I want to come to the public security bureau to ask and see if there are any clues." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Lao Zhou drank the wolfberry water in his hand in one gulp, and suppressed the surprise that he didn't know how to hide like those stunned youths. He has been a police officer in the substation for more than 20 years, and it is the first time he has encountered this situation, he lost his memory and lost himself to the province, if it weren't for the girl in front of him who spoke too naturally and didn't seem to be fake, and cooperated with the medical records and other evidence of Liuchuan Central Hospital, they would probably stabilize her while calling 120 for her.
"Brother Zhou, this situation ...... How to deal with it?"
Lao Zhou was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at the girl who stayed quietly on the side after speaking, and put the water cup in his hand on the table next to him, "Then, please tell your superiors." β
While waiting, Ruan Jing sat on the bench next to him, as if he didn't see the doubts that several policemen were holding back, he lowered his head, and his long eyelashes occasionally flickered a few times.
It was completely dark, and when it was time to get off work, no one in the bureau moved, and it was not until the old man came out that everyone stopped their pretending to be busy.
"We don't have your profile here, but based on the information you provided, we have found your university and retrieved your profile from your university. Lao Zhou flipped through the freshly baked personal file in his hand again, and saw that Ruan Jing's eyes were full of surprise, and he sighed, "A native of Kyoto, I was hired by Binjiang University at the age of fifteen...... The little girl is not very old, but her resume is bright. β
Ruan Jing pursed his lips and did not speak.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ruan Jing is the so-called genius in the mouth of others, she was hired by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Police Academy directly under the central government at the age of fifteen, and in her freshman year, she assisted the police in cracking a major murder case with her unique "scenario deduction method". With such strength, in the following time, in addition to classes, Ruan Jing was often seconded by the old policemen who cherished their talents, participated in many criminal cases, and at the most glorious time, he also won the third-class meritorious medal issued by the Binzhou Public Security Bureau.
These experiences were mentioned again, and Ruan Jing's heart did not fluctuate much.
"After that? after junior year...... What records do I have?"
"This ......" Lao Zhou looked at it several times before raising his head, and said in wonder: "You have no public record after your junior year, only the title of 'outstanding graduate' that was awarded when you graduated." As for what you did in the two years after graduation, it will take time for us to visit. β
And the family's contact information is only filled in with a mother, and it is still a phone number in the United States, and it can't be reached.
For a while, everyone was also in trouble, and they didn't know what to do, but in the end, Lao Zhou stood up, "If you need to, we can send you back to Binjiang to see if the public security bureau on the other side of Binjiang will have any clues about your memory, after all, it seems that you should be more familiar with the police on the other side of Binjiang." β
Ruan Jing shook her head, she didn't know what was waiting for her in Binjiang, and it was not the best choice to go back with such fanfare. She thought clearly, but she was discharged from the hospital, and her face was still a little pale, and with her pursing lips, she looked a little uneasy.
In the eyes of everyone, this is pretending to be strong.
It's all in this situation, and I don't want to trouble the police, what a good girl.
Lao Zhou's heart softened, and he took out the only two hundred-yuan bills from his arms and stuffed them into her hands, and when the others saw it, they followed suit.
In the end, Lao Zhou gave her an antique machine that he didn't know where to get, "You have the mobile phone, my number is stored in it, you first find a hotel to settle down, and when we find any clues, we will contact you at any time." β
When Ruan Jing came out of the Public Security Bureau, he was already a person with a four-figure "huge sum" that he couldn't get rid of, the sky was already dark, the early autumn night was a little cool, the shadows of the trees under the street lamps were shaking, and there was a faint outline like a demon and a monster.
Next to the van was a man, with a long figure, standing quietly in the shadows, as if he had been standing for a long, long time, his whole body was impregnated with an indescribable gloomy meaning, and his face was blurred in the shadows.
Ruan Jing walked over and cleared his throat, "Mr. Xiao, thank you for today, and I want to trouble you to send me to ......."
Xiao Chongyan's gaze fell on Ruan Jing, calm, but it made her inexplicably uncomfortable, "You don't have an ID card, where can you go?" he said, he took a step towards her, and his face appeared from the darkness under the street lamp.
There is a kind of aggressive handsomeness in his facial features, and the wanton expression between his eyebrows is wrapped in a gentle bearing, like a profound gongbi painting being splashed with ink vividly, forcing the determination to blur, contradictory and strangely attractive.
Seeing her eyelashes flutter faintly, Xiao Chongyan added, "It was I who hit you with my car that caused you to lose your memory, I said, I will be responsible." β
Ruan Jing was still thinking about it, Xiao Chongyan had already turned around and got into the car, the co-pilot's door was opened from the inside, he leaned over, threw the suit jacket on the co-pilot to the back seat, and then looked at Ruan Jing and said, "Get in the car." β
His attitude was mild, with a little inexplicable danger, but he did not have the slightest malice towards her, Ruan Jing had always believed in his own insight, and sat in with kindness.
Xiao Chongyan waited for her to fasten her seatbelt before lighting the fire.
Ruan Jing tilted his head to look at his obscure side face, "Where are we going?"
Xiao Chongyan glanced at her, "My family." β
Ruan Jing froze, "Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"
"No, it won't. I live on my own. β
"That's why it's inconvenient. β
Ruan Jing glanced at him again, the man was driving intently, the glow of the lantern swept across his face, tracing his handsome eyebrows and eyes, Ruan Jing couldn't understand whether he really didn't understand or pretended.
Xiao Chongyan freed up one hand to turn on the warm air, "There is still a period of time before you get home, you can rest for a while." β
Ruan Jing shook his head, "It's okay. β
Having said that, the warm air in the car was very strong, and there were pure white wool cushions under the seat, this temperature was very hypnotic, Ruan Jing still couldn't help but feel sleepy, and gradually closed his eyes, and the last look in a drowse was the man's slender and bony fingers on the steering wheel.
She slowly fell into her dreams.
In front of him was a blinding light, and in the center of the light, a man stood.
Ruan Jing couldn't see his face clearly, only those dark eyes, which seemed to gather a thousand kinds of brilliance in the world, but also had to hold thousands of sorrows, such a heavy gaze made her heart tingle and couldn't bear it, Huo Di opened her eyes.
ββOverhead is a snow-white ceiling, the air is moist, faintly mixed with the faint fragrance of lilies, the wind rolls the white curtains regularly, a rumbling sound is heard, Ruan Jing turned her head sideways, and a little nurse pushed the cart in, and skillfully hung a drip bottle on the infusion stand next to her.
As soon as the little nurse lowered her head, she saw a pair of bright eyes looking at her scrutinically, and after being startled, she quickly reacted and smiled at Ruan Jing, "You're awake, wait for me, I'll call the doctor." β
Ruan Jing pursed his lips and sat up with his hands propped up on the bed.
The nurse walked in a hurry, the door was not closed, and a few doctors and nurses passed by in the corridor outside, or patients in hospital gowns, Ruan Jing lowered his head, he was also wearing the same hospital gown, and a few red words "Liuchuan Central Hospital" were clearly printed on his chest.
The city of Yanagawa is a beautiful cultural city not far from Kyoto, but Nguyen Jing is very sure that she has never been to Yangcheon, let alone entered the hospital in Yanagakawa.
Her mind was chaotic, and she didn't know where to start for a while, this sense of helplessness made her fall into a tense mood, so that when someone suddenly spoke outside the door, Ruan Jing's hand suddenly grabbed the white sheet, and couldn't help but straighten her back.
Four or five people came into the ward, led by a middle-aged male doctor, holding a journal book, turning a page of the journal book, the doctor bowed his head and wrote something on it, and asked her routinely, "How is it, do you feel any pain?"
Traffic accidents happen every year, and this girl can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, only suffering a little skin trauma, the perpetrator reacted in time, and immediately sent people to the hospital, but for some reason, she was in a coma for two days before waking up.
The doctor said: "If you have dizziness and tinnitus, don't worry, these may be sequelae, and it will be natural to recuperate for a while." β
Ruan Jing looked at him silently, his face slightly calm, as if judging the danger of the person in front of him.
The girl on the hospital bed had a fair face, her lips were even more pale, and she seemed to be a little vigilant when she stared at him, and there was a strange sense of disobedience all over her body, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, he pushed his glasses suspiciously, "What's wrong? Could it be that he lost his voice? No, it is very rare to lose his voice in the after-effects of a car accident." With that, he stepped forward and took off the stethoscope to examine it.
Ruan Jing stretched out his hand to stop it, and slowly opened his mouth, his voice was dry and hoarse, "Who sent me to the hospital?"
Before the doctor could open his mouth to answer, an extraordinarily gentle female voice came from outside the doorβ
"Mr. Xiao, you're here again, the patient has woken up, go in quickly." β
The door creaked open.
Immediately after, a man's figure appeared outside the door unhurriedly.
He was slender and slightly emaciated, but there were still distinct muscles under his shirt that were faintly tensed, and the buttons at the neckline were tied squarely, revealing only half of the Adam's apple, and his gaze rolled up and down slightly as he swept over her. As if there were too many people in the room to make him feel depressed, he reached out and tugged at the tie knot slightly, and stood in front of her hospital bed.
"It's me. His voice was pleasant, and he seemed to be a little apologetic - he heard Ruan Jing's question outside the door, "I'm sorry, I drove carelessly, and I hurt you, and I will be responsible." β
Ruan Jing looked up at him, elegant and reserved, this was her first impression of this man, she paused for a moment before asking, "Who are you?"
The man looked at her deeply, but immediately looked away, took out a business card from his arms and handed it to him, the silver-white paper was printed in italics with the words "Xiao Chongyan", and there was a line of small characters below that read "Binjiang City Viewing Psychological Counseling".
Xiao Chongyan, psychiatrist. β
"Fortunately. Ruan Jing said dryly.
Xiao Chongyan put on a gentle smile, but it always seemed to be a layer of veil that seemed to be there and nothing, separated by distance, which made people look unreal, and said in a mocking tone: "This is not something to be fortunate about." β
Ruan Jing was silent for a moment, he really didn't know what to say, his mouth opened and closed a few degrees, but he still didn't show a word, secretly thinking about how to get out of the situation before the car accident without any flaws.
The man looked at her, and gradually showed an indescribable expression, "...... Don't you remember why you're here?"
Ruan Jing's back stiffened, and his face was a little tense, are psychiatrists so sharp?
Silence is often a sign of acquiescence.
Amnesia?
The doctors in the back couldn't help but talk to each other.
This can be said to be a very strange thing, obviously when I was sent to the hospital for examination, all the indicators were normal, at most it was a diagnosis of "mild concussion", but I lost my memory without warning.
The doctor at the head walked up, pushed the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked serious, "This young lady, we need to do a new examination for you now, and then, I hope you can answer a few questions from us, so that we can judge the extent of your memory damage......"
Ruan Jingwei nodded, propped up the bed and wanted to get down, her hands were numb, and her body fell uncontrollably, Xiao Chongyan quickly grabbed her arm and helped her stand up.
People swarmed out, and the ward was soon empty, leaving Xiao Chongyan standing in place, his hand still raised, looking at his palm blankly, the wind blew the corners of his clothes, making his whole person exude a sense of depression.
It was already evening after Ruan Jing had done all the checkups.
Ruan Jing's memory is stuck in three years ago, she doesn't know how she came to Liuchuan, she doesn't know who is around, she doesn't know what she was going to do before the car accident.
"Doctor, can you borrow my phone?"
The doctor in charge of the examination looked at her with some pity in his eyes, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to her.
Ruan Jing thanked him, turned his back, hesitated for a long time, pressed the familiar number, and after a long wait, there was an unanswered answer. She thought about it for a moment and dialed it out with another number - turn it off.
Ruan Jing sighed and returned the phone to the doctor.
The sun was crumbling outside, and it was a warm yellow light, but she couldn't feel the slightest temperature.
In three years, I don't know how many things can be changed, and there has never been a moment when Ruan Jing feels so alone, and a voice keeps whispering in her heart, telling her that powerlessness is what it feels like.
On the first night she woke up, Ruan Jing had a nightmare, but when she woke up in the morning, she couldn't remember what she had dreamed about, it was a grotesque feeling, like she could have a complete period of joy, anger and sorrow, but she was stripped from her brain alive.
"Miss Ruan?"
The voice that woke her up was still whispering, and Ruan Jing was already sweating profusely when she sat up.
In front of the hospital bed, a female doctor wearing a white coat and a mask bent her eyes at her, "Miss Ruan, I am a psychiatrist at Liuchuan Central Hospital, please come with me for a check-up." β
It was still early, the corridor was extremely quiet, the new building and the old building of the central hospital were connected together, two people passed through the cold corridor of the hospital one after the other, and made a few bends to the extremely yin side, in front of a door that did not mark the department, the female doctor took out the key, opened the door, and turned her head to Ruan Jing and said: "I've been busy moving the department recently, and the office hasn't been cleaned up yet, don't you mind." β
Ruan Jing shook his head.
The corridor is old, but the equipment in the office is very new, and as soon as you enter the door, there is a rubbed copy of Edvard Munch's "The Scream", and the twisted and grotesque characters make Ruan Jing frown uncomfortably and look away.
"Sit. The female doctor pointed to the chair across from the desk, and then turned her back to Ruan Jing and rummaged through something in the cabinet.
Ruan Jing sat down, the hands of the clock on the wall were ticking loudly, I don't know if it was her illusion, the time between the two pendulum rings seemed to be much longer than the last time.
Ruan Jing couldn't help but press his temples.
I don't know why the female doctor's things are so unorganized, she looked for more than ten minutes before she turned out a bound booklet and put it in front of her, this is a psychological investigation I did for your situation, you write it simply, don't be burdened. β
Ruan Jing nodded, picked up a pencil and wrote.
The female doctor took a glass of water and put it between the two of them, stirring it gently with a spoon, rippling in circles and circles, always floating under Ruan Jing's nose, making it impossible for her to concentrate on writing.
"Don't be in a hurry, do it slowly. Write what you think in your heart. What's going on in your mind...... Just say it......"
The pendulum on the wall seemed to slow down a lot, and the sound grew louder and louder, and the voice of the female doctor gradually became indistinct, as if it were above the stratus clouds on the horizon, and the dragon was like a worm burrowing into her ears.
Ruan Jing heard someone ask her in her ear, "What did you see on the rooftop?" "οΈ
