Chapter 384: That Day
Acting President Vincent? Wilson's remarks were earnest and sincere, and it was easy to impress others.
After hearing this, Anduin pursed the corners of his lips and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lord Grown." During this time, Mu Fei had never been in contact with General Mianyu. ”
Not only that, Anduin remembered that once he inadvertently mentioned the name of General Mianyu, and at that time, Mu Fei's expression was as wonderful as if he had swallowed some kind of unpalatable Chinese medicine, and that expression did not look like it was pretended.
Although the observation time was short, he could basically judge Mu Fei's attitude towards his master.
How do you say that?
Chicken ribs?
It feels a little different.
In short, he was sure that Mu Fei had not contacted General Mianyu, so it was basically impossible to inquire about General Mianyu's whereabouts from this aspect.
After hearing this answer, Vincent sighed heavily, looking very disappointed.
"Forget it, I didn't have much hope in the first place." Vincent sighed and said, "But I always want to seize every opportunity, after all, it is not convenient for our side to send people to search for it, once the demons, especially those difficult S-class demons, know the news of Mianyu's disappearance, it will also be very bad for our guild." ”
"That's what you said." Anduin can understand very well, because Mianyu's strength is there, even if he is usually very lazy and rarely does some serious tasks, but as long as others are in the guild, his existence itself is a great threat to S-level demons.
Once the demons learn of Mionyu's disappearance, it's hard to guarantee what kind of reaction they will make, but it can be imagined. Either way, it's extremely disadvantageous for the guild.
"Since Mu Fei has no clues. This matter has to be put aside for a while. President Vincent's tone was a little helpless. Sighing and touching the beard on his chin, after a pause, he looked at Anduin on the hospital bed again, "Next, there is one last question. ”
"Excuse me." Anduin stared at the other without changing his face.
"It's a very simple question, you don't need to think about it, just answer me as it is." Vincent said with a smile.
"Yes, I will answer truthfully." Anduin said in a flat tone. He didn't intend to hide anything, so even if he heard the other party's words, he didn't have any psychological pressure.
"I want to know, in Mu Fei's ward that day, the person who attacked you was Mu Fei?"
Anduin didn't know if it was his own delusion, but he always felt that when the other party said this, his tone was colder than before. With a kind smile on his face, there was a hint of sternness.
"That day ......"
Anduin closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the memories of that day.
……
When he saw Mu Fei fainting in front of him, Anduin's mood was very complicated at that moment.
Worried, surprised, guilty...... It was a series of emotions that he had never had in previous missions.
"Don't be emotionally attached to the person you're trying to do. Whether positive or negative, feelings can affect the investigator's judgment. This is the most basic criterion that you need to learn and understand as a qualified investigator. ”
This sentence is his first day on the job. Investigation Minister Tianxian? The first words that the remnants said to them.
And this sentence has long been deeply engraved into Anduin's heart. It's been that way for so many years.
He never poured out any affection for the person he was tasked with.
Until now.
The moment Mu Fei fell, he reached out without thinking and caught the other party to prevent him from falling and hitting the ground.
Then, the feeling of worry involuntarily surged in his heart, and Anduin didn't have time to think about it at that time, so he picked up Mu Fei and rushed towards the medical room.
When the doctor in the medical room finished the examination and told him that Mu Fei was fine, but the previous injuries had not healed, and the new and old injuries were combined with exertion, so he would not faint for a while, and Anduin felt that his mood was obviously relaxed.
After breathing a sigh of relief, a sense of guilt welled up in my heart.
On the one hand, he felt that many of Mu Fei's injuries were to protect himself, so the other party would faint, and he felt that he needed to pay some responsibility.
On the other hand, he realized that he cared more about Mu Fei than he cared about the mission objectives, and this discovery made him feel extremely ashamed.
Anduin felt that he had violated the most basic norms of being an investigator, and he felt that he had failed in his duties.
Not only did it violate professional norms, but it also failed to live up to the minister's expectations.
Anduin's mood simply hit rock bottom.
After that, he excused himself from Mu Fei's ward under the pretext that the mission required him.
First, he wanted to make up for the favor he owed before-Mu Fei had saved him several times in the previous mission; Second, he also wanted to take this opportunity to sort out his emotions, this mission had to continue, and after Mu Fei woke up, he would continue to observe the other party, and he had to take this opportunity to take back the feelings he had just poured out.
If he has a good impression of the goal of his mission, he has failed in this mission. So if he can't get rid of that goodwill within this time, he will have to apply to the minister for a replacement. And this is undoubtedly a stain on his career.
During the few days that Mu Fei was in a coma, Anduin had been thinking about these things, and basically did not sit idle for a moment.
Mu Fei's state is strange.
According to the doctor, it should take a few hours to wake up. But Mu Fei has never shown signs of soberness.
In terms of medical equipment, all indices are low, but they are all within the normal acceptable range. Judging from these appearances, Mu Fei's situation is not bad.
However, he never woke up.
This went on for two or three days.
Anduin was puzzled, but he was not a doctor and did not have a good explanation for the situation.
Until that day.
Anduin clearly remembered that the scene of that day, as long as he closed his eyes, every detail would be reproduced in his mind, as if he had been experiencing the same scene over and over again.
At the beginning of that day, he was still sitting on the sofa in Mu Fei's ward as usual, quietly pondering.
There was silence in the room, and only the regular "ticking" sound of the ECG monitor could be heard.
From time to time, Anduin glanced up at Mu Fei on the hospital bed, paying attention to the changes in the drip and some other instruments.
At this time, he saw Mu Fei's fingers move slightly, and then, the heartbeat pattern on the ECG monitor, which had been steady and slow, increased slightly.
Is this a sign of sobriety?
Anduin stood up with some confusion and walked to the edge of the bed. (To be continued......)
