Li Jing and Team Xiao went to the emergency center with the car, and I rushed to the hospital where the boss was, the boss was in good condition, and he had been lying in the ward after gastric lavage, and he was temporarily out of danger. When I went to the ward, Zheng Min was accompanying him, and when he saw me come in, Zheng Min put his index finger on his lips and signaled me not to speak, covering the regular ups and downs of the boss, I gently walked over and glanced at the boss, except for a slightly tired face, it looked much better than I expected. I patted Zheng Min on the shoulder and motioned for her to go outside the ward with me to say a few words. When I closed the door, I didn't notice that the boss opened his eyes instantly.

"How's the boss?" I asked Zheng Min.

"The doctor said that the condition was okay, because of the overdose of anesthetics and caused a coma, after washing the stomach for two days of observation can be discharged, but for a long time after the long time can not eat his favorite Sichuan food and the like, it will hurt the stomach, I think he should be very annoyed when he wakes up." The medicine should not have been taken by Jin Hao himself, it is said that all the physical evidence was sent to the Public Security Bureau for inspection, Jin Hao should have been given the medicine by Guo Ming, I didn't expect him to be so vicious. Zheng Min was a little indignant, I think it may be because the boss's friendship with Zheng Min is relatively deep.

Zheng Min was a little angry when he saw that I didn't have much reaction: "Li Jing is satisfied this time, and the persecution paranoia has been cured, right?" always said that I had a problem with Jin Hao, and now Jin Haocheng is satisfied with this? ”

I hurriedly comforted her: "That Li Jing is just a little anxious, don't you mind, I'm also worried about the boss's accident." “

Zheng Min's eyes widened, her eyes were already big, and her staring was even more terrifying: "You are still protecting him!" ”

I knew that I couldn't provoke Zheng Min who was angry now, so I had to apologize for Li Jing resignedly, and suddenly remembered that Wei Kai, who was pretended to be Shi Hao, was the boss of my school and the senior, and quickly changed the topic and asked Zheng Min: "Zheng Min, the boss is from the same school as us?" ”

Zheng Min looked at me with his hands in his hands: "Of course, otherwise how would I know him?" ”

"Didn't you say it was a colleague who worked before?"

Zheng Min moved his arm: "He introduced me to the company, and later I accepted her job, and he went abroad." What else would you like to ask? ”

"Nope. I just came over to see how the boss was doing, and by the way, I apologized for Li Jing. "I was going to end here, but I changed my mind when I turned around and I turned back." Zheng Min, it was not Guo Ming who poisoned the boss, it was Wei Kai. ”

Zheng Min's back straightened, and he slowly turned his head to me and asked, "The actor who ran away from you last time?" After receiving my affirmative answer, Zheng Min was silent for a few seconds. He raised his head again and smiled at me, "I'll find a way to check on him again." ”

"Thank you." I smiled at Zheng Min, sure enough, only she could help me at this time, just like every time before, my head began to hurt again when I thought of this, I held back the pain and kept smiling: "Zheng Min, did I forget something?" ”

When I got out of the hospital, I played the emergency center to rush, although after receiving the information that Shi Hao was only in a coma because of the heavy blow, but I think it is still necessary to go and see him, after all, it is because of our affairs that Shi Hao has such an accident. In the hospital, Shi Hao only looked at it and was dragged out of the ward by Li Jing at a glance. "Let's go to the Art Village." Li Jing pulled me out.

"Why go there? Aren't all the cases settled? I looked at Li Jing incomprehensibly.

Li Jing stopped and looked at me and asked funny, "Who sued you and we finished the case?" ”

"Isn't it done? The missing people were found, and Mr. Guo killed the missing people, and then died himself. We've all checked, is there anything else to check? I asked, confused.

"What about the teenager who committed suicide? The reason why these people were able to be killed shows that they are inseparable from the death of the teenager, and we have not yet found out the truth about the suicide of the teenager, do you think it is too early to conclude the conclusion of the case? "After asking me rhetorically.

I was dumbfounded by the question, and I thought that if we didn't untie the thread, all the information we got would be nothing more than a mess of threads, and it seemed that everything was understood. But they didn't understand anything. I nodded, "Let's go." ”

"How's your boss?" Li Jing asked me in the car.

"Fortunately, it was said that I took an overdose of anesthetic to fall into a coma, but now I am out of danger, but I can't eat irritating food for a long time in the future. That's pretty pitiful. The boss didn't seem to wake up when I left, but I was much more relieved to have Zheng Min by my side. "I didn't tell him Zheng Min's complaints about him, I think we should let go of many things first. I sat in the passenger seat and stared at the taillights in front of me, thinking it was too glaring to look at the buildings on the side of the road that kept going backwards, like one of the many images that often flashed in my head.

There was Kanye's "The One" in the car, and I thought about it for a long time before I opened my mouth to break the silence: "I told Zheng Min." ”

Li Jing didn't answer me. I said to myself: "I asked Zheng Min if I had forgotten anything, you are right, I have a headache because there are a lot of things in my mind, I don't think about them I will feel sad, so I refuse to recall, but I found that I seem to have made a wrong decision, I think because I refuse, as long as I encounter a similar scene, I will reflexively feel a headache or uncomfortable, I think if I continue like this, I will drive myself crazy." So I asked Zheng Min if I had forgotten something. Zheng Min said that I had an accident, and after that, I chose to forget some things, some things that were not good for me. But Zheng Min said that he would not sue me, she asked me to retrieve my own memories, only then would I have the courage to face the truth. She wouldn't tell me, but she promised to help me. ”

Li Jing still didn't speak, just drove quietly and listened to my chatter, but I knew that he was actually more nervous than anyone else, so I looked at his side face and asked, "You will help me too, right?" ”

The car drove to the art village, because of the inspection during the day, the underground entrance has been surrounded by a yellow line, in order to facilitate the handling of the found body, Shi Qilin has been moved away from the original place, standing alone on the cement floor, looking a little lonely, I walked over and touched it, I really wronged you. Li Jing beckoned me to walk towards the gallery. The panic and darkness made the art village even more eerie, and I kept holding Li Jing's arm and walking forward with my head down. I'm scared of a monster coming out of the dark like in the movie.

"Xiaozhi." Li Jing called me, because the surrounding space has formed a natural megaphone, which amplifies his voice infinitely.

I looked up and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you remember what the studio owner said about the paintings when we went to the studio?" Li Jing suddenly asked this question.

I recalled. If I remember correctly, the boss seems to be saying that the scenery on these paintings seems to be a microscape from a studio that did interior landscaping in the former art village. Li Jing took out his mobile phone and checked it, then pulled me to the gallery. "No wonder he's renting here." I talked to myself as I walked.

"Where are you going?" I asked after him.

Li Jing pushed the door, but did not push, he turned his head and told me to turn on the flashlight and shine on the opposite shop, and after looking at it for a while, he asked me to turn off the flashlight and walk towards the gallery opposite. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked him.

Li Jing walked into the gallery and said, "I'll see if the boss is telling the truth." Apparently he didn't tell the truth. “

"How do you know?" I walked in with him, "But Wei Kai's makeup skills are really good, you see that even the little girl who sells paintings in the gallery doesn't know that her boss has changed." ”

"Little girl?" Li Jing suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" I was taken aback by Li Jing's sudden reaction.

"It all makes sense." Maybe it's because it's too dark around, but I always feel that Li Jing's eyes are too bright at this time, and I feel like the North Star that I can see when I look up.

Li Jing pulled me to the second floor, poured out all the garbage on the second floor, sighed when he saw the names on those brochures, and then opened the door and entered the office where Guo Ming received us before. I've been waiting here for a long time. ”

Li Jing sat down opposite her unceremoniously: "You can fly away, why wait for us here?" ”

The little beauty smiled: "How can you conclude that I am here?" Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you missed it? ”

Li Jing shook his head: "I'm just trying my luck, but you saw us as you were from the beginning, so you have already prepared to be discovered by us, and it is reasonable for us to wait for us, but I don't know you very well, and I can cooperate with Wei Kai, so I can't be careless at all." ”

"Wei Kai is a good collaborator, resourceful and reasonable, if not heartless. I think it's possible that I'm in love with him. The little beauty covered her mouth and smiled after speaking, I was really not ashamed, I complained in my heart.

Li Jing: "Miss Jiang Li, can you tell me why you did this?" ”

Jiang Li? Is that the micro-landscape designer Jiang Li? Jiang Li, the owner of those painted scenes? I looked wistfully at the woman in front of me. She was so much younger than I thought she would. Receiving my puzzled eyes, Jiang Li turned her head and said to me with a smile: "I am indeed Jiang Li, the original hostess of this place, and I am almost forty years old, little sister, I also have very good makeup, Wei Kai's makeup was painted by me." You didn't recognize it, did you? However, I have been waiting for you here all afternoon, and now my body is stiff and unable to move, can you help me? The little beauty stretched out her hand to us, and I subconsciously went to help her, and found him leaning on my arm a little tiredly.

"Have you been sitting here for a long time?" I asked her.

She nodded, "yes, I can't last too long right now. ”

"You're not feeling well?" I asked him with wide eyes.

I stared at her legs in amazement, remembering that the first day we stared at her, he thought he had been standing all the time. I covered my mouth and tried not to let out a shocked cry: "I'm sorry, I didn't know this was the case. "I apologized to her again and again. She waved her hand unmindfully and said it was okay.

Li Jing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened his mouth and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Guo Dong?" ”

Jiang Li just looked at Li Jing with a smile: "Before I say it, I also hope that you can tell me first, what did you find?" In exchange, I'll answer all your questions. ”

Li Jing nodded without hesitation: "It's fair." The first is the forensic report, which says that six bodies died of poisoning, and in all the murders, the female murderer was poisoned. In addition, the shopkeeper you sent the painting said that he had seen a young man enter your shop, so at first I even caused the death of the young man to be done by you. But the shopkeeper said he saw him coming out of your shop, but I just tried it in front of the store diagonally opposite you, and I couldn't see what I bought in the store at all, so I concluded that it was you who killed the year. There will be no witnesses. Even if there are witnesses, the target of your subsequent killings should be the shopkeeper, not the missing painters. So I deduce that your goal is not to kill witnesses, but to get revenge. This is the booklet that I saw, and it was this booklet that helped me clear all my doubts. Li Jing pointed to the brochure he had just put on the table, "This brochure is actually a half-year-old album, and it should be your own exhibition here." And those paintings that were inexplicably sent to other people's hands are also your own works, but you changed the landscape into paintings. Because an accident left you with no courage to do these things again. You have used Guo Ming to complete all your plans, and all of this qiē should have something to do with this exhibition. Li Jing paused, observed Jiang Li's expression, and found that she didn't seem to react before continuing, "You have kept the appearance of this place until the bureau invited us to come here to investigate, and you ruined this place, the evidence is the watermark on this brochure, which was obviously messed up on the ground after being carefully wiped before being cleaned up." It's your best memory, and ruining it means you want to do the last thing. It is to help this teenager who was framed as suicidal to make the truth public. The death of the teenager is indeed a suicide, and if the truth is announced in time, those you kill will only be morally condemned, and everyone you decide to help take revenge, including the teenager and you. And this qiē is related to the exhibition half a year ago. That teenager is your lover, right? ”

Jiang Li's hand twitched suddenly, but she soon regained her calm, it seemed that Li Jing had pierced her mind and allowed him to miss the young man unscrupulously, her eyes were a little reflective, she wiped her eyes and said, "You are wrong." He is not my lover, but he is more important than my lover, he is my son. ”

I looked at Jiang Li sitting on the sofa in surprise: "Are you?" ”

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes, I am Guo Ming's lover back then." The mother of Guo Dong, a young man who committed suicide. All of this qiē is my plan of revenge, and it can be regarded as my retribution. Jiang Li stared at her legs.

"I gave birth to a son to Guo Ming back then, I thought we would get married, but Guo Ming married the daughter of the dean of the college at that time for fame and fortune, and abandoned our mother and son. He also wronged me for seducing him and managed to expel me from school. Desperate, I didn't even have the face to return to my hometown, at that time I just wanted to take my son Guo Dong to die, and when we were about to jump into the river, an old couple saved us. The two elderly couples are deaf and mute, but they are very kind people and have been taking care of my son and me. When I was young, I was very beautiful, and when I was painting portraits on the street, I met a wealthy man, maybe I was afraid of poverty, I ran away with him without thinking about it, and left my son alone and the old couple to depend on each other, and now I think about what happened to me later, and it was completely God's retribution to me. The rich man opened my eyes to a new world, I went to a better school and learned more about art, but I never appeared in the public as his wife, even though I was prettier and younger. Later, I learned that he just regarded me as a shadow of his first love, and his first love passed away very early, so he just found the shadow of that girl's appearance in me, and she was just compensating me in disguise, and finally when I was old and lost the face of my youth, he didn't love me, or he didn't love me at all. He gave me a sum of money to let me go. No matter how much I pleaded, she eventually got angry with me, and I became a human again, and that's when I remembered my son, my only connection in this world and my greatest debt. I came back here to him, maybe by inheriting my genes and his father's, who was very talented in the arts, but you know, that kid I threw away with that poor old couple, and even though I had sent him money, it wasn't enough for him to go to art college. I opened an indoor landscaping shop here, and then I found my son and asked him to work here and help him pay for his tuition in disguise. Guo Dong always thought that I was just a kind middle-aged woman who sponsored him to go to school, and he never knew that I was his mother. But Guo Dong will never know that I am her mother in my life. ”

"Why?" I asked her.

Jiang Li's tears fell again: "He committed suicide before he knew it." ”

"What to do with the people you killed?" Li Jing asked her.

She nodded, "That's right." Suddenly, her eyes were no longer weak and gentle just now, but replaced by a resolute and terrifying sneer, "They ruined Guo Dong's life." ”

"Is it because of the exhibition?"

Jiang Li originally wanted to nod, but in the end she shook her head: "It's because of me." She was silent for a long time before she looked up at us and said, "It's me who was so selfish. I never knew, nor did I try to understand her life. Guo Dong's life was not happy, and the deaf-mute old couple died when he was sixteen years old, and there was no orphanage to take him in. He went to work alone, selling blood to earn money to support himself. It may be fate that he met the artists here while he was working, and then these artists took her to a point of no return. These people didn't plan to be an artist at all, and they sued Guo Dong for another way to get rich. They taught Guo Dong to sell drugs, and Guo Dong needed money to pay off his debts at that time, and he would die if he sold his blood again, so he took risks and followed them on the road of no return. And in order for Guo Dong to follow them honestly, they made Guo Dong addicted to drugs. ”

I felt a chill down my spine, I never thought that teenager had gone through so many dark times.

"And me." Jiang Li shed tears again, "And the exhibition I held for him, the exhibition where all his works were designed and completed, turned out to be his last farewell to the world." I thought I had given him the best chance to become famous, but I didn't expect it to cause other people to be wary. No one knows what I really do with him, as you just guessed. Those bastards, because we are lovers, are afraid that Guo Dong will do something unfavorable to them after he becomes famous, so on the last day they gave him the latest drugs, and this kind of drugs is generally undetectable unless he does a blood test. So after injecting Guo Dong with a large amount of drugs, he took him to the roof of the building, where Guo Dong fell down after the onset of drug addiction, and really said goodbye to the world the day after the exhibition. ”

I handed Jiang Li a tissue and asked her, "What about your legs?" ”

"My legs?" Jiang Li smiled bitterly, "After I found out the truth, I found those bastards to theorize, and the result can be imagined." A bastard knocked me unconscious and drove over me. They thought I was dead, but in fact I was only suspended from death, and passers-by called the police for me. The police said that at that time, I was very light-minded about survival, thinking that I had not yet avenged my son, so I had to live to avenge my son. When I was in the hospital, Wei Kai found me and said that there was a man looking for Guo Dong, and you should be able to guess the next thing. Alive, Wei Kai should have explained it to you. Guo Ming and I planned everything, and Wei Kai also helped a lot in it. My son died of a drug overdose, so I also injected them with a lot of drugs, and it was useless for me to keep the money, so we set a trap and led them to Guo Ming's villa near the wetland park, where we locked them up. Didn't they like drugs, so I quit drugs every day, and then watched them struggle, beat each other, kneel on the ground and beg me, and finally killed them the way they treated Guo Dong when they were about to quit drugs. Jiang Li didn't have a trace of regret on her face when she said this.

"And then you copy your son's work every day and send it to other galleries?" Li Jing asked, looking at the room full of paintings.

"This is the only way I can remember my son, I sent these paintings to the shopkeepers who didn't call the police or ignored these things, and then bought them back at a high price, just so that they wouldn't have peace for a day, and one day I would find someone who could hand over the commission to reveal the truth, and before you find the truth, I would give you all the clues to make things bigger and bigger, so that those who had ignored them would be punished. And your investigation did help me get there. She smiled reluctantly at us, and suddenly her expression became blank.

"Xiaozhi, Kombat 120." Li Jing realized that something was wrong and yelled at me, then shook Jiang Li's shoulders to wake her up. A few minutes later, an ambulance carried Jiang Li out of the gallery.

In the end, Jiang Li died on the way to the hospital, and when I went to take an autopsy, the forensic doctor said to Li Jing and me in surprise: "I really didn't expect that she would be able to hold out until she told you all the things, such a large dose would have been impossible even for a cow." Li Jing and I glanced at each other and silently walked out of the dissection room.

"She's atoning for her sins, isn't she?" I asked Li Jing in a low voice, "She's really pitiful." ”

"Why?" Li Jing turned his head and asked me.

I rubbed my eyes: "She has never loved or been loved in her life, and none of these beautiful things have happened in his ascension. She has lived in remorse and regret all her life, so she always feels pitiful for him. ”

"Maybe." Li Jing replied lightly. (To be continued.) )
