5. Detective Xiao Li

April pursed her lips and ate the porridge that Xia Bai fed her one bite at a time. The scalpel's wound was so deep that the slightest movement hurt her muscles and bones. Xia Bai felt sorry for her, so he took the bowl and fed her spoonful by spoonful, at first April was a little embarrassed, but Xia Bai insisted, and had to let her.

In the quiet ward, only the sucking of porridge is made. Sucking, in the heat, April looked at her eyebrows in a daze, and said, "Xia Bai, you look so good." ”

Choked by the straightforward praise of the same sex, Xia Bai suddenly blushed a little and glanced at her, "This is the truth, you said it more than ten years ago." ”

"yes, it's been ten years." Nothing has changed, and everything has changed.

Xia Bai took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and adjusted the height of the pillow to make April lie more comfortable. After finishing her work, she sat on the sofa opposite April, and was quiet for a moment before she opened her lips and said, "How are you doing after so many years?" ”

April didn't look at her, kept looking out the window, "It's good." ”

A very brief reply made Xia Bai not know how to continue to ask, hesitated for a long time, and said, "That's good." ”

The two were silent for a while.

This ward is located with a good view, with green trees and red tiles outside the window, and occasional white pigeons perched on the eaves, each holding their little heads and opening their mouths to wait for the owner to feed. April half-squinted his eyes and cast his gaze through the window to somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

The weakening of her eyesight, the whole world is hazy in her eyes, and sometimes she has the illusion that she is just a spectator, silently watching the three thousand worlds.

Xia Bai kept looking at April during this process, looking at this overweight woman, she was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, loose clothes with her unkempt hair, like a ghost. She suddenly felt a little pitiful for the other party.

"How much money your boyfriend still owes, I'll help you pay it back."

April came back to her senses, her black glass-like eyes met Xia Bai's bright big eyes, and she was caught off guard by the pity in the other party's eyes, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

I haven't seen her for ten years, Xia Bai seems to know a lot about her affairs, and although April has doubts, she never asks about superfluous things. The other party seemed to see her thoughts, and continued unhurriedly: "It's as if I lent it to you." ”

Xia Bai saw April stiffen for a moment not far away, and then slowly lowered her head, she waited patiently, she knew that April was desperate and had no other way. In this extremely short process, she had even anticipated several ways to reply in April.

"Thank you." Low, two words squeezed out of the throat.

Messy hair obscured April's face, making it difficult for Natsubai to see her expression.

Maybe it's a compromise, or maybe it's the numbness that comes after despair.

The time in the ward passed slowly, and Xia Bai stayed with her for a while, looking at her watch several times. April noticed it and said, "If you have something to do, you can go first, I will take care of myself." ”

When Xia Bai heard this, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "You can keep it in the hospital with peace of mind, I will directly give this money to the loan shark, and in a day or two, I promise to return your boyfriend to you intact." ”

When leaving, Xia Bai said to her mysteriously: "Introduce you to a friend, he is coming soon, you know this person, and he also wants to talk to you." After saying that, she winked mischievously and walked out gracefully.

April went through the familiar person in his head, and he didn't think of who it would be, and suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell Xia Bai that the number she left for her last time was empty.

It seems that we will have to wait for next time.

***

Knock Knock Knock –

It should be that the friend Xia Bai said is here, April turned his head slightly to look at the door, hesitated for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "Come in." ”

The grinding sound of the doorknob turning, followed by a pair of straight, slender legs and a pair of leather casual shoes on their feet. April raised his head, trying to see the face of the person who came, but accidentally pulled the wound, his light eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and his face was a little bitter.

"Don't move." It is a magnetic and nice bass.

April only felt a flower in front of her, and when the sharp pain passed, she slowly blinked her thin eyelids, just in time for the man's slightly melancholy eyes.

It was close enough for April to take a closer look at the man's face. I saw that the facial contours of the visitor were hard and shapely, with deep eyes, a structured nose bridge, and curved full and moist lips. He has a suitable one. Kiss the mouth.

April looked at him with wide eyes, coinciding with the figure of a teenager in his memory. The man in front of him was more calm than the young man in his youth, his body was stronger, and his face seemed to be a little darker, but it was a healthy wheat color. Seeing April's focused appearance staring at him, he hooked his mouth and smiled handsomely and ruffianly.

"Have you seen enough? Remember who I am? ”

April opened her mouth and smiled: "Xiao Li." ”

"Ha, it's hard for you to remember me." Xiao Li touched the bridge of his nose, turned around and pulled the chair next to him and sat down, his right elbow on his knee, palm on his chin, "You are really daring, you will go to make a deal with He, if I come one step late, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

April was stunned when she heard this, and her dark eyes looked at Xiao Li silently.

"Heh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xiao Li, and I opened a detective agency in S City, specializing in assisting the police." After a pause, he glanced at April, and continued: "I have been following this underground kidney selling organization for nearly three months, and the time and place of each transaction are uncertain, and this time is the closest to them, and I almost caught them. However, I didn't expect that this donor would be you. ”

April was silent and did not speak.

Xiao Li restrained the smile on his face, straightened his upper body, his tall and athletic body locked on this small sofa chair and squeezed a little, he twisted his body uncomfortably, turned his head to April Zhengse and said, "Do you have any difficulties, you can tell me, I will definitely try to help you." ”

"No need." April shook her head, "Xia Bai has already helped me." ”

The man raised his eyebrows in surprise, and he didn't dwell on this matter too much, cleared his throat, and said officially: "I came this time to learn something from you, and I will ask you questions in a while, hoping that you can tell me the truth." ”

"Hmm." April nodded, her body involuntarily stiffening.

Xiao Li noticed it, and said with a smile: "You don't have to feel nervous, this matter has nothing to do with you." With just one sentence, he suddenly got up and took a few steps, opened the refrigerator and took an apple, and then pulled out a Swiss Army knife out of nowhere. When he sat back in the sofa chair, he lowered his head and peeled the apples, and proudly showed off: "You don't believe it, I can peel apples and peel apples." ”

This nonsensical act really made people laugh, and April silently watched him hang his head and peel the fruit quietly. The fine sunlight shone on his face, cleverly outlining three-dimensional lines, and from this angle in April, he just saw the beautiful chin arc of the other party.

I couldn't help but feel a little sudden, April seemed to see the young man who was still thin ten years ago and smiled evilly at her. A lazy and spring-like voice came to his ears, "Do you remember what the person who took you to that warehouse looked like?" ”

April suddenly woke up in the lazy morning twilight, and thought carefully, "He was wearing a hat, and I couldn't see his face clearly, but I remembered that he had a scar on his face." ”

"Scar?" The man sensitively grasped this point, and the Swiss Army knife in his hand was dangerous

"Right cheek."

"How big the scar."

"The corners of the eyes are almost 5cm down, and the wound is very deep."

"yes, I see." Xiao Li stared at his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, held the apple in his left hand, and tapped his right index and middle fingers rhythmically on his knee, which was his habit when thinking, and after a moment of silence, he turned his head sideways and asked her, "Do you remember his other characteristics?" ”

April felt a little tired at this point, and the pain from her wound was cold to the bone, which should be her delusion, after all, she has always been able to tolerate pain. She took a breath quietly, deliberately ignoring the tiredness coming from her body, and barely bothered to think about what happened, "He is very tall, almost one meter and eight, he said what his name is." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Li hummed lightly, this name must be a pseudonym.

"By the way, I have his contact information." As soon as the words came out, April felt that he had said something stupid, and he was policed. Watching it, can the phone number still work?

Sure enough, Xiao Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, lowered his right eyebrow slightly, glanced at him funny, his eyes scanned the room, skimmed the clothes hanging in the corner, he put aside the apple and saber in his hand, got up and walked over. I didn't care about taking out my mobile phone to open the call log, looked at the date, and directly found the number and dialed it.

Xiao Li directly turned on the speakerphone, and a bell sounded in the ward of less than 20 square meters. April listened quietly, and the whole person seemed to wander in the quiet and long warm ocean, and for a while he couldn't tell what was illusory and what was real.

In just one day, she met two classmates who she hadn't seen for ten years one after another, and her luck didn't seem to be ordinary.

"Hello?" A lazy tone came from the phone, and April could almost imagine the owner of the voice laughing carelessly and premeditatedly. She looked over in surprise and found that Xiao Lizao did not have the cynical appearance just now, and the whole person's expression was solemn as if he had changed someone.

He didn't speak, as if he was contemplating something to say.

The person on the phone seemed to have guessed something, laughed sullenly, and a slight nasal voice came through the phone, revealing a strange feeling, "Xiao Li, I know it's you, the game of cat chasing mouse has begun, who are you the cat and who is the mouse?" In the end, the voice was deliberately hoarse, both smug and provocative.

"Who the hell are you?"
