Chapter 100: Before the Aftermath Fades Away
The young master woke up, but he could only lie in the hospital bed, and Reinhard was in charge of taking care of him.
The professor left the hospital last night and never returned.
The lady is in trouble, and the professor needs to do something to express his attitude.
Before leaving, he asked the lady to come with him and take her under his protection.
But she refused.
The old gentleman could not hide his disappointment, so before leaving, he said: "Remember your agreement with me, and tell me whatever you decide; And those two things, they can't be taken off. β
"Okay."
......
And now it's the next afternoon.
When the king opened the door, she had fruit in her hand, which she must have just gone out to buy, and she put it on the table, and Reinhard said, "In any case, you had better not run around." β
Wang Xizhi laughed, Reinhard looked at his nose and nose, and was ridiculed in front of his younger brother, which was really embarrassing.
But after all, he and the lady had had an unpleasant relationship before, and when he said this now, it was clear that his attitude had softened.
Wang didn't mean to continue to make fun of him, she didn't stay here for the young master, he would have someone to take care of him.
She's waiting for someone here.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, someone made a fuss in front of the ward.
It was a middle-aged woman of nearly fifty years old, with a simple face, not dark complexion, and a little fat.
It's Kiki's mother.
Ji Qing's body will be cremated after the handover and taken back to China by his mother.
The young master obviously didn't have enough health and full spirit to withstand such a person's anger, especially even if the young master woke up and learned the unfortunate news of Ji, he could still eat and drink.
But the lady can always see something deeper, so she chooses to deal with it for the young master and block her for the young master as before.
She was not even allowed to arrive at the young master's ward.
And Reinhard had the same idea.
"If it weren't for you, where would this kind of thing happen to our Xiaoqing?" The woman was in tears, roaring and cursing without grace, and if it weren't for the woman standing in front of her to bear the positive emotions, Reinhard's broken mouth would not have been able to spit out ivory.
"If he hadn't invited him to go to your detective office, Xiaoqing would have returned to China early! Don't even die in a foreign land! β
Ji Qing's family situation, he once mentioned it to the lady during the chat.
As a lady, she repays by telling interesting stories about her childhood.
His father died young, his mother remarried when he was eight years old, and later had children and a happy family with his stepfather, although his stepfather did not abuse him much, but he did not accept him.
So he went abroad.
Although he can't be filial in front of his mother, he can at least let that family go on safely.
The king was silent and didn't answer, just let the other party vent her emotions, probably because she didn't say anything except apologize with a calm face, and the woman grabbed her by the collar.
Reinhard spoke, saying, "Since your child is my brother's best friend, we are willing to make amends, out of humanitarian spirit for this accident. β
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm here for the money? β
The king's collar was loosened, and the muzzle of the gun turned to Reinhard.
Seeing his familiar ridicule and condescension, the lady immediately took over the conversation and bowed to her again: "We didn't mean to offend you, Ji is indeed the best friend of me and Adams. β
"I'm sorry."
"What's the use of you apologizing to me......"
"That was his last word." The lady buried her head and whispered, "I'm sorry." β
The woman's anger, distorted expression, hysterical madness froze on her face, and she finally covered her face and couldn't say anything, just broke down and cried.
The king pursed his lips, and Reinhard finally stopped talking.
......
Wang Xizhi was tidying up her neckline.
"I can clearly see that she is in it for the money." Reinhard put the pen back in his pocket.
He had just signed a check.
Wang Xizhi sneered and asked, "Even if she is here for this now, can you say that when a mother hears this news, the first thing she thinks about is money instead of collapse and sadness?" β
Reinhard didn't speak.
"She is understandable for her family."
"But she got it wrong." Reinhard learned her tone and retorted to her. "No one here owes her anything."
"I'm putting it mildly." People like Reinhard have to emphasize that they are not polite, and you can imagine how unkind they are: "Did he pounce on you or Adams and block the bullet and cause his death?" β
"Either you or Adams could die, but that little boy was unlucky."
"It's all his own choice, and he's taking responsibility."
The king seemed a little angry, and Reinhard continued: "She feels indebted only because your attitude is too lowly. β
"What you're humbling for, and what Adams is humbling, it's just because the survivors feel guilty about the dead."
"And even Adams, he can think that he killed him by inviting him, asking him to stay, inviting him to the party."
"You feel guilty only because you survived, and he didn't."
"How well do you know me!?" The king whispered a rebuke, but Reinhard looked at her with the same unyielding eyes.
"Even if I don't say it all, your guilt seems inexplicable to me and is unnecessary."
Wang Xizhi gave up arguing with him, anyway, she had already finished the last thing that she would definitely need to do by herself.
Just the professor's phone call interrupted the possibility of their continuation.
"Yes, I'm still in the hospital."
"Yes, it's over."
"Not embarrassed."
"I'm not going back."
The professor said, "I'm right at the door." β
"......," Wang Xizhi said after a while. You go back first, I have something to do. β
"King!" The professor called out to her. "Please, follow me from now on."
"It doesn't sound like you're negotiating." Wang Xizhi said softly. "It's okay, I never intended to negotiate."
"I don't disagree with your decision, it's just that you'd better avoid it for a while......"
βLanchesterγβ The lady said. "Detectives are time-sensitive."
That's what Joan Louis said to her.
"It's been many years, and a lot of clues have lost their so-called timeliness. I'm not in a hurry, I've been waiting for so many years. β
She turned away from the young master's hospital room.
"I've got it."
Reinhard watched the lady go away, opened the door of the ward, and saw the young master watching TV in a daze.
"The gunman put the triangle on the outside of the toilet maintenance and blocked the toilet to wait for the gentleman to come to his friend...... A foreigner was killed in this incident and is currently ......"
Reinhard looked at the young master like this, sighed and turned off the TV.
"Don't think about it, it's his choice, otherwise he should hide." Reinhard said. "You have very good friends."
Whether it's Ji who invited a lady and fought to the death, or a lady who didn't hesitate to save them with a text message.
"I've never been enlightened." The young master's voice was a little hoarse. "Otherwise I should have thought about how dangerous it is."
"Even the lady persuaded him, but I didn't care."
Reinhard wanted to say something, but the young master, who had been calm, covered his face.
He shut up.
Let him cry.
