Chapter 36: Five Orange Cores
The next day was Monday, and Minghai Hospital, like all the big hospitals, had a very busy day.
There was a long queue at the registration desk in the hospital lobby, and the noisy voices were mixed with the noise and cries of children.
From time to time, the nurses pushed the wounded patients through the flow of people, frowned tightly, shouted "let go", trotted all the way into the door that said "emergency room", and then disappeared.
"I heard that Yang Wenbin is back again?"
"Who?" The other nurse looked dazed.
"Hey, you're new here, so I don't know, it's the surgeon surnamed Yang. He always excuses himself from work, saying that he is helping the police investigate cases. But what kind of case needs a doctor to help investigate, don't they have a forensic doctor in the police station? ”
"yes, yes," the other nurse chimed in, "and everybody's talking about him, he's like some kind of serial murder suspect, and he's on TV." ”
"Oh, how did the police get him back!" The nurse immediately showed a frightened expression, "Is he a fugitive?" How could the dean let such a person stay in our hospital? Will he ...... us too?"
"Shhhh Don't say it, don't say it, he's coming. ”
"Just another patient?" Yang Wenbin walked over to this side, his face was as usual.
Several of the little nurses looked at him, but no one spoke.
"Who gave him the main knife?" Yang Wenbin asked again.
Little nurses, look at me, I'll look at you. One of them, who didn't know where the courage came from, said,
"It's not you anyway, murderer!"
Several other nurses seemed to be frightened by this sentence, and took a few steps back, for fear that Yang Wenbin would pounce on them and make trouble for them.
But Yang Wenbin just nodded calmly, waved his hand, and said, "I know, you guys go." ”
Yan Junli stood at the gate of the hospital, taking in all of this. As soon as Yang Wenbin turned around, he saw Yan Junli not far away.
"When we first met." Yan Junli slowly approached Yang Wenbin, "This is here, this place, this angle." I walked in with a group of police officers, and you stood in the door of the office, eyes down, neither humble nor arrogant. I saw your name written on the nameplate on your chest: Yang Wenbin. Then I read the name word by word, and I thought to myself, what a name that has no sense of existence like me. ”
Yang Wenbin didn't look at Yan Junli, and he didn't mean to talk.
"But it soon became clear to me that you weren't ordinary at all. You have an amazing level of quick thinking and the ability to reason beyond the cocoon. With your help, we have worked together to solve many cases, and I ......"
"Officer Yan, what the hell are you trying to say?" I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Yang Wenbin also used the title he used when he met for the first time, "Praise my talent?" Persuade me to go back and investigate the case? Give me a bone in the hope that I can continue to go back to being your police dog? ”
"It's not!" Yan Junli's voice was almost desperate, "I mean, look at what we've become now. ”
Yang Wenbin fell silent, neither of them spoke, and occasionally someone stopped to look at the strange pair, but quickly left.
"Yang Wenbin, you know what I'm talking about. I can't believe we've been through so much together, born and dead, and you're now putting yourself back in that sleeve and listening to what's going on outside the window, pretending nothing happened. But in fact? Look around you, can you still live your little life quietly in such an environment? Yan Junli's eyes swept over several doctors and nurses in white, and they all immediately looked away and left in a hurry, "If you make a choice that makes you happy, then I won't say a word, but ask yourself, will you feel comfortable back in this life?" ”
"Okay, that's enough. Stop talking. Yang Wenbin couldn't stand it and said, "We can't go back to the past, everything has changed, not only the environment, but also the ......."
"There are still some things that haven't changed." Yan Junli said calmly, "My feelings for you. ”
Yang Wenbin was stunned, and his nose was a little sour.
Yan Junli took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, put it in Yang Wenbin's hand, and gently closed his five fingers.
"Here are all the personal information of the murderer Ping Xiaoxiang you mentioned. This includes address, phone number, home information, and more. You can act according to your plan, just let me know afterwards. This time I fully trust you, and I will not ask again what you have to do with this case, and I will not question your decision in any way. But you also have to be careful, after all, you are still a criminal suspect in name, and if you accidentally spread rumors, I am afraid that you will lose your job. ”
“…… I'm still a suspect, which means you could have just tortured me. Yang Wenbin raised his head and looked at Yan Junli.
"I know." Yan Junli said succinctly, "But I will never do that." ”

Time flew by, the sun slipped to the horizon, and the edge of the handover glowed with a fiery red sunset. Soon it was time to get off work. The employees in the company packed up their things one after another and prepared to leave, and Ping Xiaoxiang also covered the pen cover, put the documents into a stack, and put on her bag.
"Xiaoxiang, have you read the news two days ago?" A female colleague called Ping Xiaoxiang and said, "That doctor named Yang Wenbin seems to have been arrested by the police, and I saw him last time I went to see a doctor." He doesn't look like a bad person. ”
"Bad guys will be disguised," Ping Xiaoxiang said with a good-looking smile, "Who will know that the bad guy is the bad guy until he is caught." ”
"That's just as well." The female colleague laughed and hugged Ping Xiaoxiang's arm affectionately, "Maybe you're also a murderer who has absconded or something." ”
Ping Xiaoxiang smiled, and just as she wanted to say something, she was interrupted by a voice.
"Ping Xiaoxiang! There is your letter! ”
"Letter?" Ping Xiaoxiang was stunned.
"Someone still sent you a letter? I really didn't expect this, who is it? The female colleague had a curious look on her face. But Ping Xiaoxiang shook off her hand and hurriedly walked over.
"Are you Ping Xiaoxiang? Your letter. The postman handed Ping Xiaoxiang a flat envelope, and Ping Xiaoxiang took it and pinched it carefully, but did not pinch the letterhead, but pinched some small raised things.
Ping Xiaoxiang frowned, opened the envelope, spread out one hand, and poured out a few orange cores from the envelope.
One, two, three, four, five. A total of five orange cores, lying quietly in the palm of Ping Xiaoxiang's hand.
Ping Xiaoxiang's face turned pale as soon as she "swished", her hand shook, and a small piece of paper fell out of the envelope.
It simply reads: Go downstairs. Yang Wenbin.
Ping Xiaoxiang trembled at first, her hands trembling so much that she could barely hold the letter. But then she began to smile, laughing louder and louder, and even a little nervous twitching.
"Oh my God, Ping Xiaoxiang, what's wrong with you?" The female colleague was taken aback just now and hurriedly ran over to ask.
"Nothing, nothing!" Ping Xiaoxiang hurriedly stuffed the envelope and note into her bag, revealing a happy smile, "It's just...... Finally waited for someone who had been waiting for a long time. ”
Ping Xiaoxiang stepped on a pair of high heels and hurriedly walked downstairs. The back of the building faces a row of sewer ditches, and the sun doesn't shine in, only a few damp mosses and unknown dirt, which is especially eerie when the sun is about to set.
Ping Xiaoxiang's breath was short, and she looked around nervously, trying to figure out anything wrong. She swallowed, pulled a small pistol from her pouch, and loaded it vigorously.
"Come out! Yang Wenbin! Ping Xiaoxiang roared angrily, aiming her gun at every place where Yang Wenbin might appear, "You bastard!" If you have the guts, you will come out! Do you think I won't dare to kill you? I've already killed four people, and I'm missing you one! ”
Ping Xiaoxiang's spirit was tense, and when she heard a little rustling in her ears, she quickly shot at that place. The muffler-mounted gun didn't make much noise, just startled a mouse, squeaked and ran into the sewers.
Ping Xiaoxiang was a little broken, and she shouted again, "Come out!" I'll leave you alone! You are one more than one left to avenge him! ”
"For whom?"
This voice suddenly sounded behind Ping Xiaoxiang's ears, without warning, like a ghost faintly popping out. Ping Xiaoxiang shouted, immediately turned around, and pointed the gun at Yang Wenbin, who suddenly appeared standing straight behind him.
"I'm going to kill you!" Ping Xiaoxiang's eyes were red, and her fingers tightened on the trigger.
"I don't have any weapons." Yang Wenbin stretched out his arms to Ping Xiaoxiang, his face was calm and calm, not only did he not retreat but took a few steps forward, "If you want to kill me, you can do it now." ”
"I ...... I'm really going to shoot! Ping Xiaoxiang's hands began to tremble, and she was forced to retreat step by step by Yang Wenbin, "Believe me, I'll really shoot!" ”
"Then why not open it?" Yang Wenbin's face was still as usual, and he forced Ping Xiaoxiang into a corner step by step, "I'm Yang Wenbin, now I'm standing in front of you, I don't have any weapons with me, why don't you shoot?" Didn't you kill a lot of people? Didn't you always want to kill me? Do it? Or do you dare to do nothing without the Joker? ”
Ping Xiaoxiang's hands trembled more and more, and she could barely hold the gun. Yang Wenbin went up with a backhand and shot down the gun in her hand very easily.
"Or rather, you don't know who I am, and you don't know if I've ever killed anyone." Yang Wenbin evoked a smile, looking harmless to humans and animals, but hiding a knife in his smile, approaching Ping Xiaoxiang's face, "You don't know who killed the man you love deeply." You're shouting to avenge your boyfriend, but you're scared of the murderer in your heart, I'm not wrong, right? ”
