Bidding farewell to Mr. Zhu's family, Qi Ruonan and Fan Cong walked side by side in the courtyard of the family area. In the early summer afternoon, the sun was warm and warm, but the mood of the two people was much heavier than when they came.

Faced with a little girl who was only five years old, two experienced police officers felt an unprecedented weight and pressure. They left the house almost in the mood of fleeing, avoiding the eager and expectant questioning of the little girl. The two of them are still like this, you can imagine what kind of emotions Gu Song should use to face that innocent and lovely child.

Until now, the little girl did not know that her father, who had been waiting day and night, had died in the mountains and forests hundreds of kilometers away from home, and she did not know how much her father had paid for her health and future.

For various complicated reasons, Gu Song has not yet told Qin Yu's family the truth of the matter. Although the adults in the family had long realized that Qin Yu would never come back, how could the young bell have thought that her father would leave her and go to another world alone.

Coming to the side of the car, Qi Ruonan leaned on the door of the car and sighed depressedly and said, "Alas, I am really a pig brain, why didn't I expect that those two teachers were Qin Yu's parents." ”

"What if you think of it?" Fan Cong smiled helplessly, "Is it possible not to go to them to ask about the situation?" Besides, Qin Yu's affairs have nothing to do with you, you can't avoid their whole family like Gu Song, right? ”

"That's what I said, but ......" Qi Ruonan looked up at the leaves rustling by the wind, and couldn't help but sigh again, "Alas, senior brother is really miserable, obviously he is the best friend who grew up together, and now the yin and yang are separated, and the relationship with that family is so stiff, I feel sorry for him when I think about it." ”

"There's no way, after all, the mess over there in Liangshan hasn't been cleaned up yet, and some things are inconvenient to explain now. And Gu Song himself felt that he had no face to face Qin Yu's family. Don't look at him as if he has accepted what happened last year, but in his heart he has counted all the mistakes on his head......"

"But that's obviously not his fault." Thinking that Gu Song always likes to carry the responsibility on himself, Qi Ruonan is really angry and anxious. "In fact, in the end, he is not the one who is hurt the most......

"Alright." Fan Cong patted Ruonan's shoulder gently, "Let's not mention those things for now." When I'm done with this time, I'll find a chance to have a good chat with him. I can't say how well I know him, but after all, we have been partners for several years, and at least there is still a minimum of trust. ”

Qi Ruonan nodded and showed a grateful smile to Fan Cong. Fan Cong looked at her, and suddenly felt that his heart was beating abnormally, as if he had been electrocuted by something. In order to hide the panic in his heart, he quickly turned his head and changed the topic: "By the way, do you have any opinion about the young man mentioned by Teacher Qin?" ”

Qi Ruonan didn't notice Fan Cong's abnormality, thought for a while and said, "No, that young man is the suspect we are looking for." Previously, we analyzed that the murderer should have brought a backpack when committing the crime, which was used to hold the murder weapon, gloves, shoe covers, and even clothes to be changed after the crime. Because the case took place on a college campus, people with school bags abounded. If the murderer is disguised as a student, or is a student in this school himself, it is easy to get away with such a dress. ”

"But the time Teacher Qin saw him was on the morning of May 23, the day before Teacher Liu was killed."

"Maybe he stepped on it early."

"So the next thing we're going to do is to focus our investigation on male students at the Pedagogical University. Of course, it could be young faculty and staff, or residents living in the neighborhood. ”

"But ......," Qi Ruonan said with a wry smile, "there are more than 20,000 students in this campus, and there are more than 10,000 male students alone. Where do so many people go to find it? What's more, the murderer is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and there are too many people who are eligible. ”

"Let's report this situation to the task force first. Even if it's a needle in a haystack, we have to find this murderous guy, or he may continue to hurt people. ”

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Song came to the "Muyang Psychological Clinic" with a bouquet of lilies as white as jade.

Although he couldn't remember exactly what he had done to Teacher Chang that day, when he revisited the old place, he still couldn't help but have many fragmentary pictures flashing in his mind, which made him feel deeply guilty for his out-of-control behavior again.

He came here today for nothing else, he just wanted to talk to Teacher Chang's assistant Xiao Yun alone, hoping that the other party could give him a chance to atone for his sins.

opened the door and walked into the familiar reception room, Xiao Yun was sitting in front of the computer humming a song while checking the information. Maybe it's because Teacher Chang's injury is getting better day by day, and it won't take long for him to be discharged from the hospital to work, Xiao Yun's complexion looks much better than a few days ago.

Hearing someone coming in, Xiao Yun immediately raised her head. At first glance, she saw the beautiful bouquet of lilies in Gu Song's hand, and then realized that the visitor was the last person she wanted to see at the moment.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Yun frowned unhappily, and her face, which was as calm as water just now, was instantly covered with dark clouds. "You are not welcome here, you can go back."

"Xiao Yun, can you give me a chance to explain?" Gu Song said in a pleading tone. He took a few steps forward and put the lilies on Xiao Yun's table, who knew that Xiao Yun didn't even look at it, and threw the bouquet on the ground with a "snap", and said with a sneer: "Explain what?" Explain why you suddenly went crazy? Why did you do such a terrible thing to Teacher Chang? ”

"I didn't mean to." Gu Song emphasized again, "I really didn't know what I was doing at that time. If my mind was clear, how could I possibly do such a heart-wrenching thing? ”

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Xiao Yun pursed her lips in disgust, not believing what Gu Song said from the bottom of her heart. "Based on my understanding of Mr. Chang, he will not hypnosis patients if he is not sure. You know, for a patient who has been traumatized psychologically, using hypnosis to bring him back to the past is a dangerous thing that must be carefully considered. I learned from your Captain Qiao that he explicitly forbade you to find Teacher Chang for hypnosis. Mr. Chang is a person who strictly abides by the rules and has a very strong sense of professional ethics, if he is not threatened by you, how could he do something that violates the rules? ”

"I'm ......" Gu Song just wanted to find an excuse to cover up the incident, but Xiao Yun continued: "We don't have that kind of dangerous weapon in our clinic, and the knife you stabbed Teacher Chang was brought with you, right?" So the question is, why do you bring a knife when you go to Teacher Chang for psychological counseling? So, you must have not been at ease from the beginning. What else do you want to explain? Could it be that your mind was not in your right mind from the beginning? If that's the case, shouldn't you be in a psychiatric hospital right now? What are you doing here looking for me? ”

Gu Song was told by the sharp-toothed little girl in front of him that there was no room to talk back, and he could only blame himself for making a mistake first.

It is said that women are the most unprovoked, and Gu Song deeply realized the meaning of this sentence this time. If it's to make his girlfriend angry, he can come up with some solutions. But the problem is that he and Xiao Yun are just ordinary friends, what else can he do besides apologize? It's not really going to let the other party stab him to vent his anger, right?

The atmosphere was stalemate for a moment, and Gu Song said to Xiao Yun helplessly: "I know that it is useless to say anything now. Apologizing may not mean much to you, but I still want to say to you solemnly, I'm sorry. ”

"Are you finished?" Xiao Yun looked at Gu Song coldly, pointed to the exit of the clinic and said, "Please leave immediately after you finish speaking." ”

Gu Song smiled awkwardly and stood still in place. "Seriously, I don't have to get your forgiveness. Even Teacher Chang himself doesn't plan to pursue that matter anymore, so I don't really need to come here to see your face. I just think that people who do bad things have to atone for their sins after all. Maybe I've been lucky enough to escape some of the punishment I deserve, but I can't escape the hurdle in my heart. Since Mr. Chang doesn't need me to do anything for him, in order to make up for my mistakes, at least let me do something for the students he cares about the most......"

"That's it, isn't it? Can it disappear from my eyes? Xiao Yun pointed to the door and continued to give Gu Song an eviction order, but for some reason, her heart began to waver. Maybe what Teacher Chang said is right, she should try to understand and understand Gu Song's situation and difficulties, after all, this man has risked his life again and again to protect the safety of this society, and has captured so many murderous and cunning criminals with his own hands.

As an ordinary person, Xiao Yun could never imagine what terrible things Gu Song had experienced. However, remembering that he always came to the clinic scarred, with a tired, painful, sad, or forced smile on her face, she suddenly could not bear to resent this man anymore.

"If there's anything you need my help with in the future, just come to me. As long as I live safely, I will do my best to help you no matter what. After Gu Song finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the clinic.

Xiao Yun stood in place, looking down at the lilies scattered around the table, tears unconsciously welling up in her eyes.

Eight lilies, whose flower language represents the deep apology of the flower giver. Xiao Yun took a deep breath, hurriedly chased out of the clinic, and shouted at Gu Song's lonely figure: "You wait! ”

Gu Song turned around and asked suspiciously, "Do you have anything else?" ”

Xiao Yun bit her lip embarrassedly and said, "If you have time, let's have lunch together?" ”

Gu Song nodded, feeling that the heavy stone in his heart had finally lightened a little.
