Chapter 160: Uncle Long
The room suddenly became quiet. Lin Chang didn't know what to say. As a like-minded friend, he is actually willing to believe that Qiye did not kill anyone. But who can tell the difference between people's hearts?
Qiye always looked so sad and melancholy, as if there was a huge secret hidden in his heart that he never shared with anyone. The more curious he became, the more evasive the other party became. After getting along for more than a year, he knew almost nothing about Qiye except for music.
Is such a person really worthy of his trust? Lin Chang was confused.
Outside the window, Zhili is screaming tirelessly in the treetops, children are playing in the yard when they come home from school, mahjong is playing in the neighbor's house, and women in high heels pass downstairs...... The outside world is still running, but there is such an embarrassing picture between the two.
After being silent for a long time, Lin Chang sighed softly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I think I'd better move out for a while." I'm not going to take these instruments away yet, and I'll think about moving them back when the turmoil is over. โ
"Then you, have you found a good house?" Qiye asked helplessly, his voice revealing a disappointment that could not be concealed.
"Not yet. I moved to my classmate's dormitory for a while, and there was just an empty bed in their dormitory. โ
Qi Ye smiled miserably, returned the phone to Lin Chang, and kindly reminded: "The murderer is probably someone in your school." No one knows if he will continue to commit crimes. When you go back to school, be careful. โ
"I will." Lin Chang turned his head sideways, unable to bear to see Qiye's lost expression.
At that moment, Lin Chang was a little disgusted that he had made such a selfish decision. If Qi Ye was not the murderer, when he was suspected by the police, physically and mentally exhausted, and his life became extremely bad, as a friend, instead of believing him, he said those hurtful words, and finally abandoned him, which is undoubtedly the biggest harm to Qi Ye.
After an hour, Lin Chang finally settled down in his classmate's dormitory.
After tossing and turning for most of the day, he finally only brought a few textbooks, a laptop and a few changes of clothes, and he didn't look like he was moving at all.
No wonder his friend Zhang Chao couldn't help but joke with him while playing games, "Lin Chang, did you quarrel with your singer boyfriend?" Go back to your parents' house and hide for two days? โ
"Fuck off!" Lin Changgang took out the book from his backpack and put it on the table, picked up a mineral water bottle that he didn't know who had drunk and smashed it, and casually made up a reason and said: "My roommate is going to create these days, I'm afraid I'm too noisy and ruin his inspiration." โ
"Oh, then you'll live here first." Zhang Chao tilted his head to escape, and the water bottle landed next to his monitor. "Anyway, Yu Jiannan can't come back recently......"
"That's right." Lin Chang suddenly remembered something, and asked with concern, "What happened to Yu Jianan?" It's been so long, and you still haven't heard from him? โ
"What news can I have?" Zhang Chao shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "That kid has never been restless, he often disappears, he either goes out to meet female netizens, or he hangs out with some indiscreet people." Do you remember the first semester of his sophomore year, when he went to a pyramid scheme organization for two months, and finally escaped because of poor food. He doesn't even bother with the police. โ
"But ......" Lin Chang felt a headache when he heard it, "Anyway, he is also our classmate, we should still care more about him, what if something really happens to him?" โ
"Well, don't talk about him." It was rare for a friend to come back, and Zhang Chao simply quit the game. He slid the swivel chair in front of Lin Chang and said mysteriously: "Yu Jianan's 'disappearance' is already outdated news. I don't know if you've heard, but there were dead people in our school this morning. โ
"What? Dead again? Lin Chang pretended not to know and asked with interest, "What's going on?" Tell me about it. โ
"I'm really convinced of those well-informed classmates. Not long after the case happened, they were able to describe the murderer's crime in a vivid way, almost like going to the crime scene to do an interview. Really, if they become journalists in the future, they are guaranteed to grab the headlines every day. โ
"Don't say it's useless, pick the key points." Lin Chang slapped Zhang Chao's chest and reminded impatiently.
"Uh-oh." Zhang Chao realized that he was far away, and hurriedly returned to the topic. "I heard that the deceased was a retired teacher who was killed in his home at about six o'clock in the morning, and the scene was called bloody." Zhang Chao grinned, as if he was making up that terrifying picture in his head. However, no one knows what the crime scene was like, and even the appearance of the body is disputed. In the process of people rushing to tell each other, the facts have been infinitely distorted and magnified.
After a while, Zhang Chao continued: "Actually, that building is not far from our dormitory. This morning, I heard the sirens in my sleep. Everyone said that the murderer was someone from our school, maybe he was still a student, who specialized in killing educators and taking revenge on society. โ
"You mean to ......" Lin Chang swallowed nervously, "A perverted serial killer suddenly appeared in our school?" โ
โใใฎใจใใใงใใ (As you say.) Zhang, who often mixes in the second dimension, likes to say a few words of Japanese from time to time, and Lin Chang has long been accustomed to this.
"Will he continue to kill people?" Lin Chang asked worriedly.
"Hell knows!" Zhang Chao involuntarily shivered, making a look of burning incense and worshiping Buddha. "I just hope he doesn't kill the students, or I'll have to consider renting a house outside."
"It's really hard to say...... Lin Chang narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. Thinking back to what Qiye said to him when he was leaving, a wave of uneasiness gradually swelled up in my heart.
After "sending" Lin Chang away, Qi Ye tirelessly made countless phone calls to Xiaolong. The other party's mobile phone has been turned off, and Qi Ye doesn't have to think about it to know that Xiaolong's guy must have gone somewhere to hide from his debts.
According to the previous agreement with the creditor, today is the deadline for repayment. If Xiaolong runs away, those who collect debts will definitely ask him for money. He wasn't afraid of what those people would do to him, he was afraid that someone would go to the hospital to find trouble with Uncle Long.
I simply ate something in the small restaurant downstairs, and took a taxi straight to the inpatient building of the Armed Police Hospital at night. Before visiting Uncle Long, Qi Ye asked the doctor to learn more about Uncle Long's condition. Uncle Long has chronic renal failure, and the terminal stage is often referred to as "uremia". Dialysis can sustain a patient's life, but it is not a long-term solution.
Xiaolong's idea is to let Uncle Long have a kidney transplant as soon as possible, but the number of donors is limited, and only one person out of every hundred patients can get a precious opportunity, which is also a reason for Xiaolong's deep worry.
In ward 526, Uncle Long, who had just finished dialysis, was leaning on the innermost hospital bed and reading with relish. Qiye nodded and greeted the other patients and walked straight inside.
"What are you looking at? Uncle Long. He asked curiously, standing beside the bed.
"Les Miserables." Uncle Long replied, then took off his reading glasses, looked up at Qi Ye, and suddenly showed a kind expression on his face.
"Okay, Uncle Long, can you still understand the world's famous books? I haven't even read this book. โ
"Stinky boy, look down on me, don't you?" Uncle Long closed the novel and knocked on Qi Ye's body, looked at the door of the ward expectantly, and asked, "Just yourself?" Didn't Xiaolong come with you? โ
"He ......" Qi Ye scratched his hair and made up an improvised excuse, "He has been very busy with work lately and can't leave." When he can spare time, he will definitely come to see you in the hospital. โ
"Alas, I know ......" Uncle Long sighed and said distressedly, "Xiaolong has been having a hard time lately, raising money for my illness. It's all because I'm not angry with this old bone, but I have such a money-burning disease. โ
"Don't say that, in life, who can guarantee that you won't get sick. When we encounter difficulties, we can solve them together. Not only do you have Xiaolong, but you also have me. โ
"I was just afraid that I would affect you, so I didn't dare to let Xiaolong tell you when I was hospitalized. The result is still known. โ
"Can you hide such a big thing?" There was a hint of blame in Qiye's tone. "Uncle Long, I have always regarded you as a father in my heart, so don't tell me anything about whether it is even more important or not, and it is not troublesome. Xiaolong is not here, if you have something to do, just tell me, whoever takes care of you is the same. โ
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it......" Uncle Long smiled bitterly, but he felt extremely warm in his heart.
Qi Ye sat down on the side of the hospital bed, picked up the book "Les Miserables" and flipped a few pages, and suddenly said in a serious tone: "Uncle Long, there are a lot of bad people in society recently. In a place like a hospital, there are many people, so you should pay more attention to everything. โ
"There are bad people in the hospital, too?" Uncle Long pursed his lips and expressed disbelief.
"Of course, haven't you heard of traffickers stealing children, cheating money, and slandering people in hospitals? This big city is no better than the countryside, the people's hearts are complicated, and I am afraid that you will be deceived by the bad guys. โ
"Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I be so easily fooled."
Qi Ye was afraid of scaring Uncle Long, so he didn't dare to mention Xiaolong's loan shark, so he had to continue to persuade him: "I heard that some people went from the countryside to the big city to see a doctor, and the medical expenses they borrowed were all cheated out, and they had no money to see a doctor, so they could only wait for death." In short, don't talk to people you don't know, don't walk around if you're fine, and try to stay in the ward. Once you encounter a suspicious person, you must call someone for help in time, you know? โ
"Alright, I got it." Uncle Long waved his hand, looking a little impatient, but he still listened to Qi Ye's words.
After a while, he frowned and asked suspiciously, "I said Xiaoqi, how much does my illness cost?" โ
"I don't know about that, but you don't have to worry about money. You don't have to think about anything, concentrate on healing, Xiaolong and I will often come to the hospital to see you. โ
Although he promised to do so, Qi Ye's heart had no score at all. He knew a lot of rich people, but time didn't allow him to delay any longer. It seems that he can only go to the bar to find Boss Chen for help, Qiye is not very good at dealing with those businessmen, but relatively speaking, Boss Chen is a relatively easy to talk to.
