Another few days passed, and the middle of October was about to end, and it was already the nineteenth.

As soon as he got to work in the morning, Li Xiaohe, under the guidance of Xu Jianjun, went to the place where Tu Zhongfeng was being held.

The space of more than 30 square meters is divided into two parts, a small part is used as a bathroom, and the other part is used for living. A queen-size bed, a chair, a wardrobe, two single sofas, a coffee table, a TV stand, an old-fashioned TV are all the elements of the bedroom--living room.

Seeing Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun coming in, the woman on the chair next to the bed stood up and greeted the two. This woman is Tu Zhongfeng's wife, and she has been here all this time, taking care of Tu Zhongfeng, doing muscle massage for Tu Zhongfeng, assisting in eating, etc.

On the big bed, Tu Zhongfeng was lying on his back, and the quilt was covering his chest. His cheeks were thin and bony, and his face was yellow and bloodless. However, compared to when he was first arrested, his face seemed to be better. At that time, his eyes were sunken, his beard was stubble, his hair was unkempt, and his face was full of filth, like a wild man, more like a beggar who had wandered for many years. Today's complexion also seems to be better than last time, the last time was two weeks ago, and my face was a little paler.

After reading it, Li Xiaohe turned his head and asked, "How is it?" ”

The woman sighed: "Hey...... It's like that, lying like this all the time, except that it still has a breath, it's no different from a dead person. Every day I had to give him 16 massages for 10 minutes each time, mainly on his limbs, and three times he had to press lightly on his chest, abdomen and head. Compared to the previous days, the muscles of his hands and feet seem to be atrophiing, and there are also other places, and it is estimated that it will not take long for them to really start to atrophy. ”

"Muscle atrophy? So fast? Li Xiaohe didn't believe it.

"How not?" The woman said with emotion, and lifted the quilt casually, "Look at his arms and legs, they are simply skinny, and there are no muscles at all." Look at that, that, aren't the muscles in those places going to atrophy? ”

Li Xiaohe didn't care about this woman's tone and attitude, the woman's health was already bad, and now that she is doing this again, her health is much worse, and her mood will definitely not be better.

Looking along the woman's fingers one by one, at the wrist of Tu Zhongfeng's left forearm, the epidermis has some folds, and the blood vessels are tightly attached to the epidermis. The same pattern is true for the two lower legs, with a copper coin-sized scar on the outside of the left calf, and the scar skin is more wrinkled. The entire chest and abdomen are real skin and bone bags, the ribs are clearly visible, the bone joints are prominent, and if the epidermis is removed, it is directly a human skeleton diagram.

After carefully looking at a few places, Li Xiaohe felt that it was just because he was too thin that folds appeared on the epidermis, which was different from muscle atrophy. As for the more scars and folds on the legs, it is caused by not recovering well from the injury, and now it is more obvious because of the emaciation.

Although what the woman said was untrue, Li Xiaohe could also understand her. After all, the person on the bed is her man, and he has lived with her for twenty years, and there should be feelings between the two. Because of her concern for him, she was even more worried about the unfavorable situation.

In order to gently cover the quilt in Tuzhong, the woman nagged again: "Looking at his style, I'm afraid he won't last long, and finally the lamp will run out and finish this life." After struggling for so many years, and when he came to such an ending, he still had to be a mourner. Woo...... Even if he is at fault, this is a person who is dying, how can he die at home. Woo......"

Listening to the woman's crying, Li Xiaohe realized that this was the focus of the woman's speech, and the "muscle atrophy" she emphasized earlier was just to pave the way for these words.

The woman continued to cry: "There are old and young people in the family, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have such a son, I am not in good health, our son will graduate soon, and the job has not yet been settled, how can I live this life." Ay...... Let's live blindly, when he kicks his legs one day, I will not be able to live a boring life, and I will save myself from adding a burden to the child. My in-laws must be sad when their son dies, but I'm not too worried, after all, I still have a daughter to take care of them. What I can't worry about the most is my poor son, his parents died at a young age, where is his job, and what can he do to find a daughter-in-law? Woo...... Son, you're so pathetic. Woo......"

Seeing the sadness of the woman crying, Li Xiaohe felt very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The parents of the former county party committee leaders, the former official wife, and the former deputy county magistrate's young son, because of this person in the bed, are now all in the past, and they have all become a sad past. It's really a center forward for success, a center for defeat, and a center for destruction.

Controlling some of the sorrows, the woman counted the people on the bed: "You said that you, when you were in power, you hugged each other from front to back, and there were countless followers, and there were groups of women, and every day was a restaurant and a hall, and there was no home at all." Now I see people, but you have become like this again, only breathing more than a dead man, not eating, not drinking, not pulling, not urinating, and tormenting me all day long.

Where did the former friends go, why didn't those vixens show up, and their subordinates were so busy? Think about it, think about it. When you change people in the next life, you can't do this anymore, who do you say you are worthy of? As soon as you leave, your parents will lose their son in old age, our son will lose his father in a young age, and I will take my life, you will make our family miserable, and you will be the debt collector that our family owes in the previous life. Woo...... Debt Collector, Debt Collector ......"

Listening to the woman's statement today, Li Xiaohe found that under the heavy ideological burden and mental pressure, the woman's psychology is not very healthy, and the person has become a lot confused. If it goes on like this, this woman really can't hold on, even if her life doesn't end, I'm afraid that there will be problems with her nerves.

Compared with Li Xiaohe, Xu Jianjun may have seen more similar cases, and the expression on his face has not changed, but he has been looking at the corners of the room and the objects placed there.

"Ahem",

The coughing sound was made by Xu Jianjun, obviously reminding Li Xiaohe: It's time to go.

It's time to go, it's just routine work to get here, and you'll have to get to the city in a while. So Li Xiaohe said to the woman, "Let's go first." ”

"Uh......h He can't be a mourner......" replied the woman with a cry.

There is no way to respond to the other party's request, and there is no appropriate reassuring word. Li Xiaohe simply didn't say anything, turned around and walked to the door.

With a "squeak", Xu Jianjun opened the door first.

"Woo......" The woman's cry was even louder.

"Ahem",

Li Xiaohe had already stepped out of the house, and when he heard these two coughs, he immediately turned his head. It's not a woman's voice, and the woman is still crying.

Xu Jianjun hurried to the bedside.

After a while, Li Xiaohe also hurried back to the house.

"Ahem", two more sounds.

It's Tu Zhongfeng who is coughing. The three people beside the bed all heard clearly, and they all saw Tu Zhongfeng's lips and bulging cheeks due to coughing.

"Lao Tu, Lao Tu, are you awake? Are you awake? The woman hurriedly leaned down and grabbed Tu Zhongfeng's shoulder.

"Where is this, where is this?" A faint voice came from the bed, and Tu Zhongfeng opened his eyes.

Seeing Tu Zhongfeng wake up, Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun showed joy on their faces.

"Lao Tu, you're awake, you're really awake, why do you want to wake up?" The woman muttered incoherently.

"Xiaoyu, where is this?" Tu Zhongfeng looked at the woman and slowly rolled his eyes.

Hearing the man call out her nickname, the woman cried again: "Woo...... Lao Tu...... You, you, woo......"

"Tu Zhongfeng, you're finally awake." Xu Jianjun said in a deep voice.

"I, you, who are you? Xiaoyu, who is he, and what else is him? Tu Zhongfeng's eyes rolled a few times, and then moved on Li and Xu.

"You're so forgetful, I'm Xu Jianjun of the Public Security Bureau, and this is your old colleague, Li Xiaohe, director of the county party committee office." Xu Jianjun stared at Tu Zhongfeng and said in a deep voice.

"Li, Li He, who is Li He?" Tu Zhongfeng's eyes were blank.

"Li Xiaohe." Xu Jianjun emphasized the name again, and opened the handbag and operated it twice.

"Li-Xiao-He, you are Li Xiaohe, bastard, Li Xiaohe, you are the worst." Tu Zhongfeng stared at Xu Jianjun and gritted his teeth, "You are the worst, the least thing, you are against Lao Tzu all day long." ”

Noticing Tu Zhongfeng's expression, Li Xiaohe was both puzzled and amused, but he didn't forget to take out his mobile phone.

Xu Jianjun also smiled: "Tu Zhongfeng, if I am Li Xiaohe, then who is he?" ”

……

Leng Ruoxue has lost weight again, and her expression is even more haggard.

Sitting behind the desk, she was in a daze, and her mind was a little messy.

"Hey." With a light sigh, Leng Ruoxue leaned back in the chair and slowly closed her eyes.

Can't sleep, can't sleep, Leng Ruoxue secretly admonished herself.

Gradually, images appeared in my mind, and scenes appeared.

"Ah", Leng Ruoxue suddenly exclaimed, and opened his eyes.

Looking around in horror, two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks, but she didn't realize it.

"Tuk Tuk",

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Leng Ruoxue is a row: who will come at noon?

Raising my hand to look at my watch, it was not yet one o'clock, and it was only half an hour before lunch.

The knocking on the door stopped.

"Ding Bang Bang", the mobile phone rang suddenly.

Slightly stunned, Leng Ruoxue took the phone. Seeing the number on it, she couldn't help but be stunned, but she still pressed the answer button and said coldly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Secretary, are you in the office? Didn't you take a break? Hurry up and open the door, I have something important to report. "The voice on the phone is very low.

After a little fluge, Leng Ruoxue looked up suspiciously. Then he got up, came to the door, and unscrewed the door.

"Squeak", "Squeak",

The door opened, and then quickly closed, and Li Xiaohe appeared in front of Leng Ruoxue.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Secretary, Tu Zhongfeng is awake." ”

"Awake? Smear...... Did he speak? What did he say? Leng Ruoxue said urgently.

"He said a lot." Li Xiaohe said, walking towards the desk.

Leng Ruoxue let out an "ah" and quickly caught up: "He, what did he say?" ”
