Xie Lingxu turned his head and saw a familiar figure on the corner walking along the crowded street towards the medical hall.

Ning Jun......

I didn't see him in the infirmary this morning, and I thought he went out to collect medicine, but now that he is empty-handed, he must not be the same. Xie Lingxu didn't pay attention to it, but he felt that his face was a little strange, and his demeanor showed a little restlessness, and he couldn't help but doubt in his heart......

Ning Jun bypassed the person in front of him, frowned and looked indifferent, his steps were as fast as a heel, and he stepped into the medical hall in the blink of an eye.

Ning Jun stood straight in front of the medicine cabinet, at noon, the hospital hall was rare and leisurely, and the smell of Chinese medicinal materials in the room soothed the nervous nerves and calmed the nervous mood......

"Are you alright?"

Ning Jun was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to see that Dr. Zhou was stretching out his hand and handing him a bowl of medicinal soup.

"I see that you have been a little restless lately, are you not feeling well? I've boiled you some potion, drink it while it's hot. ”

Ning Jun took the steaming soup with both hands and smiled

"Well, I haven't ——,'ve been sleeping well lately."

"Remember to rest more, don't get tired."

"Ah...... Well, thank you - Dad. ”

Ning Jun lowered his eyes and drank the medicinal soup cleanly, only to feel that the warm medicinal soup was mixed with the strong fragrance of medicinal herbs and gravy, flowing through his lips and teeth, and flowing down his throat into the empty stomach, which made people feel a lot more refreshed at once......

Seeing that Ning Jun was absent-minded all afternoon, and his face was really bad, Dr. Zhou told him to rest in the room for a few days, and the affairs of the hospital should be taken care of by himself first......

Standing outside the door and exhaling heavily, Ning Jun calmed down and slowly pushed the door open......

When I looked up, I saw two people sitting in the room.

Xie Lingxu held his cheeks and looked at the person at the door with a surprised and stiff expression, thinking that your kid is finally back, and the labor and management who are waiting for the damn are about to sleep.

However, the person next to him was not Xiao Qixin, and Youwang was leaning on the back of the chair and watching the emergency report sent by Zhou Fu in the light outside the window.

"You...... You-"

Ning Jun was speechless in surprise, holding on to the door to stabilize his unconsciously trembling body.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Ning Jun stepped in: "Why do you ...... Feel free to come in and out of me—"

"What did you do today? Let's talk about it. ”

"I ...... I can do whatever I have to do, there are many things in the hospital, I'm—"

"You have mud on your trousers and soles, what...... Do you grow flowers in the hospital? ”

"I ......"

"You're up the mountain. But...... You didn't take the medicine. ”

Ning Jun sighed, "Where do I want to ask you for instructions where I go?" ”

Xie Lingxu put down Erlang's legs that were being crossed at random, and turned his face to face the person in front of him: "The patrol came to report in the afternoon that a person's footprints were found on the mountain road leading to Li Xi's house, do you want to go to the scene now to see if these footprints can match yours?" ”

Ning Jun's face turned pale, and Xie Lingxu saw that his expression was distracted, and then asked:

"Where are you going to do something? Are you ...... Should it be explained? ”

Ning Jun hung his head and said nothing, and the outline of his eyebrows looked a little calm in the dim light.

"If you don't say it, you can be regarded as admitting that you killed Li Shi?"

Ning Jun snorted coldly: "Why should I kill him, is that guy half-dead there still using someone else's hands?" ”

Xie Lingxu tilted his head, feeling that the tone of his words was hostile.

"I'm just going to see where Li Xian died. What's more, back then, it was Dr. Zhou who saw him pitifully and gave him a sum of money to help him, and was used by Li Shi to build a dilapidated house on the mountain, who knows what kind of medicine he sold in his stomach! ”

Xie Lingxu moved his neck: "Your reason...... It's a bit far-fetched. ”

Ning Jun didn't care, "I didn't do anything wrong, I don't need any reason." Besides, what proof do you have that I killed someone? Just because I went to Li Xi's house, does his death have to do with me? Is this how the imperial court investigates cases? ”

Xie Lingxu stood up suddenly, and walked in front of Ning Jun in three or two steps: "Of course not, if we convict people indiscriminately, won't we become murderers?" Evidence is needed to investigate the case, but ...... The murderer itself is also evidence, do you dare to say that you really have nothing to do with Li Xian? ”

Ning Jun lowered his head, avoided Xie Lingxu's sharp gaze and whispered, "No ......"

"Okay-" Xie Lingxu crossed his arms and said, "What about Zhou Jingyue?" ”

Ning Jun was stunned, his pupils dilated violently, and Xie Lingxu keenly smelled the uneasiness around the person in front of him......

"Tell me, what is the relationship between you and Dr. Zhou's daughter?"

"No...... It doesn't matter. Ning Jun suddenly looked up at Xie Lingxu and lamely concealed his panic.

"Oh? What about Li Shi? What is the relationship between him and Zhou Jingyue? ”

Ning Jun seemed to have been stepped on in a minefield, and his tone suddenly became very urgent: "Jingyue, she ...... It's been gone for so long, what does it matter! ”

"What if, Zhou Jingyue and you are in love, but they are coveted by this Li Xian all year round? Is there a connection? ”

Xie Lingxu finally found his long-awaited horror in the eyes of his predecessors. Ning Jun's lilac lips opened slightly, and he didn't explain anything.

"Li Xi was squatting in front of the hospital in his early years to watch you, and he was looking at Zhou Jingyue, he was very ...... I like Dr. Zhou's daughter. Xie Lingxu deliberately accentuated the word "very".

"He's obsessed with Zhou Jingyue, almost crazy, isn't he?"

Xie Lingxu can guess this, and he has read countless articles by himself, and his ability to make up for blindness is first-class. From the fact that Dr. Zhou has a daughter who is clear and jade, and the ugly-faced Li Xi squats in the hospital all the year round, I guessed a rough idea, and besides, Li Shi's dilapidated house in a remote location happened to be built on the mountain road that Zhou Jingyue had to pass through to collect medicine, so that it could better satisfy Li Shi's long-cherished wish to appreciate the beautiful woman who was happy, and logically explained Li Shi's brain-dead move of building a house in the barren mountains and mountains as if he was full. As for why Yang San didn't mention Zhou Jingyue, Xie Lingxu thought that maybe it was because Yang San, who was still young, didn't have the keen ability to perceive the feelings in the hearts of adults, and he didn't have too much nostalgia for beauty, so he ignored this important detail.

The surprise on Ning Jun's face lasted for a moment, and he suddenly sneered without knowing what to say: "Yes, that's right, Li Xi has been pestering us like this, disgusting—extremely."

"Disgusting?" Xie Lingxu looked at Ning Jun with a somewhat fierce expression.

"Voyeurism day and night, isn't such a person disgusting?"

Xie Lingxu chuckled: "No one spied on you."

"But Jingyue, she is—" Ning Jun wanted to speak and stopped.

Is it your childhood sweetheart, the person you also admire?

Xie Lingxu's gaze moved away from his face, and he sighed lightly and said:

Zhou Jingyue, she ...... Is it dead? ”

"No—" Ning Jun's voice was hoarse and dry, and there was something inexplicable in his eyes.

"No?" Xie Lingxu's tone was full of doubt.

"Jingyue, she's just...... Just left. ”

"You really don't know where she went?"

"I don't know, what are you going to do, you are trespassing on a private house!"

"I think you're crazy, it's the King of You who is in your room now, who dares to ask if you want your life? If you don't tell the truth, I will immediately escort you to the Nine Governors' Gate. As he spoke, Xie Lingxu pulled out the short sword at his waist.

The short sword was half unsheathed, and Ning Jun lowered his head and said gloomily:

"Jingyue she...... Entered the palace. ”

"It was a woman named Qin Yun who took her there?"

"That's right. It's-" Ning Jun raised his head, and Xie Lingxu saw a hint of murder faintly passing in his eyes.

"Are you still in touch?"

"Nope."

"Why not?"

Ning Jun was a little impatient: "Jingyue has entered the palace, she lives very well in the palace, and it is normal to cut off contact with us."

"Didn't Dr. Zhou's daughter ever come back to see you?"

Ning Jun's expression was uncertain: "She won't come back, she won't come back to this...... What makes her sad. ”

Xie Lingxu's gaze pressed step by step: "What happened to her back then?" ”

Ning Jun's lips opened slightly, and he paused for a moment to stop talking, as if he had restrained his thoughts about telling the whole story.

Xie Lingxu moved helplessly: "What are you hiding?" ”

Ning Jun's eyes looked to the side fiercely: "I don't know what Jingyue's matter has to do with your investigation, why do you have to hold on to us?" ”

"Because there are some things that are hidden deeper than they seem, and I think you know this better than I do."

Ning Jun didn't say a word, Xie Lingxu saw that his shoulders twitched obviously, and the expression on his face seemed to have fallen into the endless abyss in his heart......

The door squeaked open, and the solemn atmosphere was broken by Dr. Zhou, who pushed the door in......

Xie Lingxu smelled the aroma of Chinese medicine, turned his head and saw Dr. Zhou walking forward with a bowl of medicinal food.

While handing over the porcelain bowl in his hand to Ning Jun, Dr. Zhou asked the uninvited two people with a cold expression: "I don't know what the two of you are visiting this time?" ”

Xie Lingxu saw that Doctor Zhou's face was not good, and said calmly: "Let's come to Ning Gongzi to understand the situation." ”

Doctor Zhou snorted coldly: "I don't care about the investigation of the case by the imperial court, I can understand that you have broken into the hospital three times and twice, but what you have done now is a little too much!" ”

Xie Lingxu smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, it is indeed not very proper for us to trespass into Ning Gongzi's bedroom without permission, Ning Gongzi disturbed it, so we will leave first." ”

Xie Lingxu walked towards the door with his hands behind his back, slipped behind Ning Jun by the way, and said in a voice that only the latter could hear: "Doctor Zhou trusts you very much, think about it, are you worth it." ”

Ning Jun's hand holding the decoction twitched imperceptibly, and his heavy breathing stagnated for a moment......

After the two left the room, Dr. Zhou pressed Ning Jun's stiff shoulder:

"Drink the medicine, don't think too much, they are just investigating the case, and they won't hurt you."

Ning Jun was stunned, looked up at Doctor Zhou's kind gaze, and felt that he couldn't say a word, and nodded tiredly with all his strength......

As soon as King You came out of the medical hall, he saw a bunch of people around the corner of the street, Xie Lingxu heard Chu Xiu's scolding voice from afar, and walked over with his feet raised.

Xiao Qixin turned his eyes to Xie Lingxu who came over, and hurriedly approached her and said:

"Caught, it's this kid."
