Early in the morning, after Ji Ran arrived at the newspaper office, he hurriedly punched a card, swiped the news in the media group, and ran out with a frown.

I drove all the way to the hospital, thought about it and unloaded all the equipment, leaving only a light micro-slip. As soon as I walked into the gynecology department, I met reporters from other media platforms and walked out dejectedly.

"Fat brother, what's wrong?"

"The case was three days ago, and the suspect was arrested on the spot, and it is said that he is still a rich second generation. The rich second-generation suspect plus the little girl from an ordinary family, the location of the crime is in the hotel, what a good subject, but it still doesn't take it until now, I secretly took two photos, and I was found to have slipped out. ”

The man known as Fat Brother sighed and touched his hairline, which had receded most of the time, with some headaches.

He used to nod his head from time to time when he spoke, and the long hair of the literary and artistic young man deliberately left swayed out of the arc with his movements, which always made people want to stare at it.

"I advise you to make less effort, someone is staring, you can't shoot, and it is estimated that there will be no leakage in the future. ”

Ji Ran understood most of it in her heart, she nodded, and didn't stop:

"I'll take a look. ”

Following the clues given by the group, Ji Ran followed the house number and stopped in front of a closed ward. Ji Ran looked around and saw a nurse coming over from the other end of the corridor and silently took a step back

Seeing that the nurse had already come over, Qiao Ran followed her with his eyes, saw her walking towards the target ward, and lightly narrowed the distance.

She found an angle, and when the nurse opened the door, she went in and glanced at the situation in the ward, and then quickly retreated the moment the door was closed.

What makes Qiao Ran feel a little strange is that when this kind of thing is encountered, it is normal for the victim to be depressed and lose control of her emotions, but the girl lying on the hospital bed inside calmly surprised her, and even looked like she was eating fruit in good spirits.

And in addition to an elderly grandmother who was accompanying the bedside with a sad face, there was also a big man with an indifferent face, probably the "person who stared at people" that the fat brother just said.

Qiao Ran leaned against the wall opposite the ward and lowered his head and thought about it, the girl's face was really very familiar, and between thoughts, a picture was pulled out of the long chain of memories, making Qiao Ran raise his head suddenly.

Isn't that the little girl she rescued from Gao Jiaze last time?

As soon as his thoughts were cleared, Ji Ran walked out quickly.

She grabbed her device, drove all the way to a junction near her destination, stopped, took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag, put it in her pocket, and walked forward.

Qiao Ran squatted silently opposite the detention center for a while, and saw a familiar face appear at the door, so he stood up and leaned over.

"Has Brother Liu eaten?"

Ji Ran said hello with a grin and handed a cigarette to the other party.

"What, sister, you want to invite me to dinner?"

The person known as Brother Liu smiled, and unceremoniously took the cigarette handed over by Ji Ran, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it, and smoked it.

"That's not it, after all, Brother Liu helped me a lot before, or now, let's find a place to eat?"

Brother Liu spit out a puff of smoke rings, glanced at Ji Ran with his eyes, and showed a smile:

"Forget it, what are you asking about this time?"

He is also an old fritter who deals with reporters, and generally familiar reporters come here to ask for some news, and he will quietly reveal a little bit if he can say it, and reporters will also write reports to them from time to time on weekdays, boasting about their work, and occasionally his private affairs, he will also help secretly, and he has not suffered any loss, but sometimes it is a little good for himself.

"That's it...... Didn't there be a case in the hotel two days ago, and it was quite a big fuss, but now no one has sent a draft. ”

Ji Ran said while paying attention to his expression, only to see his hand holding the cigarette pause, slowly exhale a puff of smoke rings, and then glanced at her meaningfully.

"This case, don't think about it, if you need a news exchange, wait for me to pick one for you to write about. ”

"What's going on?"

Ji Ran asked cautiously with some doubts.

"It's private, and if the parties don't pursue it, we can't continue, right? It's pitiful to say, when I went that day, the little girl was hurt, if it were my daughter, I would be distressed to death. ”

Brother Liu shook his head as he spoke:

"No, I'm going to let it go. ”

Ji Ran's heart sank, but her face couldn't reveal any superfluous emotions, so she nodded.

"Then there's no way, Brother Liu really doesn't eat together?"

Brother Liu extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground, Ji Ran handed over another one in time, he took the cigarette and hung it up, and smiled:

"No, it's busy today, let's do it another day. ”

After Ji Ran came out, he stared at the building in front of him for a while, then walked decisively towards the place where he parked, took off his equipment, turned a few corners, and came to the back door.

Opposite the back door of the detention center is an old neighborhood, with low floors scattered around. There is a building with a unique shape in the place of more than ten meters, there is a section of one-person high stairs in front of the building, next to the stairs is a narrow foundation, it looks like there are many years old, no one takes care of it, all kinds of trees are indiscriminately entangled, messy and dense.

Ji Ran skillfully climbed up the stairs, chose a position with dense foliage, set up a tripod, and put the camera on it. She chased away the flying insects around her, adjusted her field of vision, and set up another device next to her.

Ready for all this, she watched the screen with bated breath and waited quietly.

The meaning of Brother Liu's words just now, the suspect is still in the office, and it seems that he is leaving today, although it seems to sound like a pickable news, but when he was in the hospital, Ji Ran had a guess.

Now, just waiting for the facts to tell her, guessing whether it is right or not.

Ji Ran squatted for two hours, she moved her somewhat sore neck, and when she got in front of the viewfinder, she found that a car drove over, and it was a very low-key luxury car.

came, Ji Ran suddenly became excited, put his hand on the photo button, and waited silently.

When the suspect was brought out of the station, Ji Ran seized the opportunity and quickly pressed the continuous shot.

Although he only appeared for a few seconds, he was surrounded by people waiting at the door, blocking the view of others prying eyes, but in those few seconds, the power of telephoto and continuous shooting plus tripod was enough to leave a clear face.

Watching those people drive away in the car, Ji Ran jumped up and quickly packed up the equipment.

The two-hour battle with the insects really drove her crazy, and she didn't even bother to put her things in the equipment bag, so she carried one in one hand, and squeaked back to the car with a dejected bag in her squeaky nest.

Only then did she close the window and turn on the monitor, and her face gradually turned cold.

The picture was very clear, so clear that she could even see Gao Jiaze unapologetically on his face, with an indifferent expression.

Qiao Ran snorted secretly, put away the camera, and drove to the hospital.

This time she held the flower and walked directly into the ward without hesitation.

When he stepped in, the man beside the bed heard the unfamiliar footsteps and turned to look at her vigilantly, Qiao Ran walked past him without notice, put the flowers on the head of the bed, pulled over the chair on the side, and quietly looked at Xiang Yunxin who was lying on the hospital bed.

"This young lady, is there anything wrong?"

The man just now opened his mouth in an unfriendly tone, Qiao Ran didn't make a sound, and still looked at Xiang Yunxin motionlessly.

Xiang Yunxin, who had been silent, opened his mouth when the man asked for the second time:

"It's my friend. ”

Although the man who got the answer stopped the question, his suspicious eyes kept falling on Ji Ran's body, Ji Ran turned his head to meet his gaze, and said with a polite smile:

"Can I talk to my friends alone? After all, some girls don't have a lot to say for boys, right?"

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Ji Ran was about to continue, but Xiang Yunxin spoke first:

"I guess I still have that bit of freedom. ”

She stared straight at the man standing by the bed, and the lifelessness in her eyes was breathless. After waiting for a while, the other party's attitude softened, and with a little hesitation, he still walked out of the ward.

Ji Ran looked at her holding her hands on the quilt, red abrasions scattered where the loose hospital gown couldn't cover, Xiang Yunxin felt her gaze, and there was no deliberate concealment of the movement, and her voice was calm.

"I don't have anything to tell you, and I don't want to be in the news. ”

Ji Ran nodded, and did not respond to Xiang Yunxin's words, her eyes moved to the other party's face, looking at her red and swollen cheekbones, the gauze on her forehead, and was silent for a while.

I still remember that the last time we met was only half a month, although Xiang Yunxin at that time was also slender and weak, but his eyes were bright, even if he was afraid of Gao Jiaze's power, he still had his own stubbornness, unlike now, those eyes were all gray.

"I don't have a purpose, so I thought I'd meet you, so I'm going to see you. I also know that you have reconciled privately, and it is impossible for you to say anything more. ”

"I don't have any other choice. ”

Xiang Yunxin heard her words, his eyes were a little painful, and he grabbed the quilt covering his body, and his voice was weak, as if he was saying it to himself.

Ji Ran's ear power is very good, but she doesn't want to dig deeper, even if she can probably guess in her heart, but in this kind of situation where the victim has no will, she has no position and qualifications to verify and ask others to state her experience.

Originally, he just wanted to visit, but now that he has visited, Ji Ran also feels that it is time to leave. She put the flowers she had just given in the right place, shook Xiang Yunxin's hand, showed the smile with the greatest kindness she could show, and got up.

was unprepared, but Xiang Yunxin suddenly threw a question:

"If you choose self-esteem, you put your family in danger, what will you choose? ”
