Chapter 8: Double Whammy

*

Racing all the way, Shang Xiaoyu finally caught up with the bus, but the grandmother who was sitting by the window had already gotten off the bus and disappeared.

Meng Xuan asked, "Why don't I ask Lao Hu to do me a favor and check the address." Why do you have to chase people? ”

Shang Xiaoyu looked at the surrounding streets, trying to remember the road when he won the first place in the Wanshuang competition and invited them to her house for dinner. If that's right, their house should be around here. But this is not a standard residential standard, some commercial street front houses and residential buildings are mixed together, so it is a little difficult to find.

She twisted the handlebar again and rode into a small alley, and she said, "It's too late for them." ”

The deeper you go, the more forks in the road there are, which is a waste of resources and time. If Shang Xiaoyu had seen the cause of the old woman's death just now, maybe she could have been relieved, but the body blocked her body but failed to see the key part of the death. So, the only thing she can do now is race against time to find her.

Shang Xiaoyu parked the car under the street lamp and locked it, and then said to Meng Xuan solemnly: "Human life is at stake, let's look for it separately." Found a call me. ”

After explaining the conversation, Xiao Yu turned around and was about to rush into the alley, Meng Xuan grabbed her pill head with a quick hand, took out the black screen of the mobile phone, and said, "It's out of power." ”

"That's for you and mine." Shang Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone.

Meng Xuan took it and opened her mobile phone, and took out a black gadget from his pocket, Shang Xiaoyu didn't have time to complain that he was still playing at this time, so he was about to leave again, but Meng Xuan dragged her ball head back again.

He handed her the phone and said, "I connected the Bluetooth headset and turned on your GPS, if you find someone, you will stand by and call Lao Hu, and then I will explain the situation, and I will also let him track your location and guide me to find you." ”

"What if you find it? How can I be contacted? ”

Meng Xuan smiled narcissistically and said, "I don't need to contact you, I will settle everything." If I see my coat in the frame of your car, it means that I have found someone and left, so you go back to the police station. ”

"Okay." This is by far the most appropriate approach.

Shang Xiaoyu relied on her memory to go around in this labyrinthine old alley trying to find Wan Shuang's home, but reality gave her a resounding slap in the face.

I'm old, but I don't have a good memory.

Although Shang Xiaoyu is a senior student, she is already twenty-six years old, because of an accident in the third year of high school, she was in a coma for a year and a half, delaying her studies, so she had to start from scratch.

Because of her age, she has always taken good care of her classmates and gets along well with everyone. Grandma Wan Shuang's praise for her in the past is still vivid, but now in her most fatal critical period, Shang Xiaoyu can't remember where her home is.

"I'm sorry." Patronizing memories but not looking at the road, Shang Xiaoyu collided with a boy.

The boy was wearing a black hoodie and couldn't see his face clearly with his head down. When he was hit, he just shook his head and didn't say much, and then walked quickly.

Shang Xiaoyu watched his back as he left in a hurry gradually blended with the darkness under the night, and then looked in the direction where the boy came, and she walked over there. I don't know if Conan has seen too much, she always feels that anyone who appears at this time is suspicious.

Under the dim street lamp, a rose-red electric car leaned there, its shadow stretched long and stretched to Shang Xiaoyu's feet.

She circled back to the starting point. And at this moment, inside the basket, there was already the black baseball shirt jacket that Meng Xuan was wearing when he came.

Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Shang Xiaoyu easily got into the car and set off towards the Ling'an Police Station.

When Shang Xiaoyu came, she didn't realize how far she had ridden, and it took her thirty minutes to go back when she walked back. The black car in Meng Xuan's parking space at the entrance of the police station had disappeared, and Shang Xiaoyu left the car in the parking space without thinking about it.

"Xiao Cheng, what about Meng Xuan and Lao Hu?" There are only a few small policemen in the police station, and the backbone people don't know what to do.

"Oh, Lao Hu went to pick up Master, and I don't know why I went." Cheng Han-tae said.

With the sudden sound of clapping hands, Qin Qin strode in to convene a meeting, and vaguely seemed to hear Wan Shuang's name from his mouth.

Cheng Hantai diligently turned the whiteboard on the side, and Wan Shuang's photo had been pasted on it. The crisp short hair is dyed a burgundy under the rendering of the sun, and the dress is blown by the wind, and the picture is extremely pleasing to the eye.

Coincidentally, this photo was taken for her by Shang Xiaoyu last summer.

"Now that Wan Shuang has been missing for more than forty-eight hours, we have checked the surveillance around her house and found several suspicious characters." Qin Qin took out a few photos and pasted them on the blackboard, all of which were screenshots of the surveillance images, and the figures were all blurry.

Although standing in the distance, Shang Xiaoyu was still attracted by one of the photos at a glance, and inside the surveillance was a figure wearing a black hoodie.

"Team Qin, Officer Meng called, saying that Wan Shuang's grandmother had a cerebral hemorrhage and is now in the hospital." A small policeman at the front desk shouted at them.

"A few of you will check these people separately, and a few of you will expand the living area to understand her socialization." Qin Qin hurriedly assigned the task, "Cheng Hantai, you and I go to the hospital." ”

"Team Qin, take me, I know Wan Shuang's grandmother." Shang Xiaoyu hesitated again and again but stood up.

Qin Qin glanced at her, thought about it and waved her hand again and again to get into the car.

Qin Qin and Cheng Hantai drove one and sat in the passenger seat, and the two of them discussed various cases all the way without stopping. Shang Xiaoyu saw that Han Tai didn't have time to take notes, and he really sympathized with him.

But in fact, Shang Xiaoyu's mood now is not at all more relaxed than Cheng Hantai, she is even more nervous. If Grandma Wan Shuang can be rescued this time, then she will become the first person she has seen in the past five years who still escaped death even though she was given a death notice.

She was extremely worried in her heart, and the leather bag in her hand was pinched by her fingernails one by one.

The city hospital is a little far away from the police station, but it is quite close to Wan Shuang's home, and this is the only tertiary hospital in this area. Before Wang Yongfu's traffic accident, it was also the family's first aid who rushed to the scene.

The emergency room was on the first floor, and as soon as Qin Qin and Cheng Hantai entered, they saw Meng Xuan and Lao Hu sitting on a bench in the corridor. Shang Xiaoyu followed behind, seeing that the light with the words "rescue room" was still on, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How's it going?" Shang Xiaoyu stepped forward and asked Meng Xuan about the situation.

Meng Xuan looked melancholy, he said that he also went around for a long time, and finally saw Wan Shuang's grandmother fainting at the door of the unit building on one floor. Half of her body fell in the hallway, only one foot was just stuck outside, supporting the unit door that was about to close, and because there was just a crack left, she was lucky enough to be found by him.

Meng Xuan was afraid of any accidents, and didn't dare to delay more, took out the walkie-talkie, and contacted Lao Hu to call an ambulance.

It turns out that the car with the siren was indeed a little faster than the 120.

"By the way, Xiaoshang, do you know Wan Shuang?" Qin Qin asked.

"Yes. We are not in the same class, she is assigned to our dormitory by the dormitory, and she sleeps in the bunk opposite me. Shang Xiaoyu still remembers the scene when he sometimes couldn't sleep at night and secretly stared at Wan Shuang.

"That's a lot easier, we can ask you to find out more about her." What Qin Qin said made Shang Xiaoyu himself have the illusion that he was a servant of their police station, and he was always summoned when he was fine.

The lights went out. The door to the emergency room opened, and a small nurse walked out first.

"Who are the patient's family?"

Qin Qin took the initiative to step forward and show his ID and asked, "How is the old man now?" ”

Before the little nurse could speak, the doctor who rescued him just walked out, he took off his mask and looked at everyone, paused, and then said regretfully: "I'm sorry, we did our best." But I missed the golden rescue time, and the patient is already old and sick, I am really sorry. ”

A few little nurses pushed the hospital bed out, and the white color was a little dazzling.

Meng Xuan frowned with a look of regret, but he tried his best to turn the tide, but the result was still unsatisfactory. Lao Hu patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, and Qin Qin had to hurry back to the bureau to stare after explaining his work.

Only Shang Xiaoyu's reaction was calm and excessive, and it could even be said that her emotions were not fluctuating. Maybe it's because deep down she has been prepared for it. Maybe she shouldn't have had extravagant hopes in the first place, she has experienced too much of this disappointment, and she has also felt too much of this helplessness.

The doctor sighed helplessly, and Shang Xiaoyu suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his white coat as he walked up to him.

She raised her head and asked hesitantly, "May I ask, is Dr. Zheng from the Department of Thoracic Surgery at work today?" ”

The doctor was a little strange, thought about it, and said with a little sadness: "He died." ”

Double whammy.

Shang Xiaoyu only felt a deep sense of powerlessness spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body, that feeling was like floating in the vast sea, she had obviously seen the lifeboat but did not have the strength to climb up, countless times of borrowing force was like pressing on cotton and pressing into the water softly and then plunged into the sea again.

Meng Xuan saw Shang Xiaoyu sitting on the side expressionless and not saying a word, and his heart was furious when he saw the look of his eyes being scattered. I don't know if it was because of the overflow of father's love or what, he took the initiative to pull Shang Xiaoyu into a hot pot restaurant.

In front of the food, Shang Xiaoyu can still leave everything behind the meal for the time being.

"Hey, be careful, it's better to tell me how much money you brought first, so I can restrain myself." This was Shang Xiaoyu's kind reminder to Meng Xuan after settling the fourth plate of mutton.

"Why did you help me do such a ridiculous thing when you didn't know the situation at the time, and you weren't afraid that I would play you." Shang Xiaoyu couldn't explain her special situation, so much so that sometimes some of her actions couldn't be explained to others.

Meng Xuan pointed his finger and asked, "What is this?" ”

Shang Xiaoyu was puzzled by his answer, and asked hesitantly, "Getting taller?" ”

"Brains!" Meng Xuan hurriedly said, "An excellent people's policeman's intelligent brain." I still have a basic judgment, okay? ”

"If you can't walk when you see a beautiful woman, what judgment can you have." Shang Xiaoyu pursed his lips and complained, "By the way, you wait." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the plate of meat that had just been cooked was not yet cooked, Shang Xiaoyu quickly went to the front desk to borrow paper and pens to draw.

Curvy eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and small lips that are pulled together.

Meng Xuan looked at Shang Xiaoyu painting seriously, and the heat of the hot pot hit her face with two flushes, which looked quite cute.

"It's pretty good." Meng Xuan smirked.

"That's it! My wife is a professional, and my paintings are all three-digit on average. Shang Xiaoyu was full of pride when she saw that her profession was praised, but when she raised her head, she saw Meng Xuan staring at her with a stupid expression.

She slapped the painting on his face and shouted, "Look at the painting!" Look at whether you've seen this person or not. ”

The paper is inferior so the rendering effect is not particularly good, but this approximate human shape can still be seen under the detailed lines: a boy in a hoodie. However, the hair on his forehead obscured most of his face, making it difficult to see his face.

Meng Xuan recalled and shook his head.

Shang Xiaoyu said: "I saw him, and he is also among the suspects in your Qin Captain column." ”

"Then Lao Hu, they should go and check." Meng Xuan quickly snatched the first batch of cooked meat.

Originally, a meal could easily change Shang Xiaoyu's impression of Meng Xuan, but when he said with that scoundrel face that he didn't bring any money and then pushed the waiter's bill to Shang Xiaoyu, Shang Xiaoyu immediately pulled Meng Xuan into the blacklist in her heart, and it was the kind that would never be released in her lifetime.

Meng Xuan smiled with relief when he heard this, and said rogue with Shang Xiaoyu: You put me in your heart, do you want to change from a secret love to a bright love.

Shang Xiaoyu kicked a fly. Violence trumps all words.
