Chapter 175: Close Range

By the time Lu Li re-entered Xu Wei's office, it was already lunchtime.

The news that Li Xinning reminded her to watch has already occupied an important position on major news websites at this time, and it has been in the top five of the hot searches on the Internet.

Xu Wei and Lu Li sat in front of the computer together to watch the news and comments from netizens.

"Now is really the era of information explosion, more than ten years ago, it was not so quickly exposed and known to the public." Xu Wei said with emotion.

"Yes," Lu Li swiped up with the mouse to see the latest comments, "I haven't seen the news of the identity of the confirmed case yet, and it probably won't take long." ”

Xu Wei sighed, got up and went to the door of the studio to smoke, Lu Li went out with him, and the two found a corner place to stand down.

"I didn't sleep last night, look at your dark circles." Xu Wei took a puff of cigarette and turned his head to look at Lu Li.

Lu Li raised his hand to touch under his eyes, "It's not dark for a day or two, I slept okay last night." She turned her head to stare at Xu Wei's cigarette, a little wanting to smoke.

Xu Wei asked her about the situation after she followed the Qi Bureau last night, he already knew about how Lin Lin handled the case with the criminal police, and he was concerned about Lin Lian's body, especially when he learned from the news that a confirmed case had died, he was even more worried.

When Lu Li hesitated to tell the relationship between Lin Lin and the suspect who had died, the mobile phone screen lit up, and the caller ID was the mobile phone number that Lin Lin was using now, and he finally called back.

Lu Li told Xu Wei that it was Lin Lin who called, and after speaking, he walked away a few steps and answered the phone, and Lin Li's calm voice came from the receiver, and he said that he had just seen Lu Li call.

"You're alright." Lu Li had a lot of things to ask, and finally summarized them into these four words.

"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep much last night, and now my head is groggy, what are you doing." Lin Lian's voice sounded like nothing was wrong.

Lu Li didn't know whether she should believe what he said, anyway, the worry in her heart did not decrease at all, but because she heard Lin Li's voice, she wanted to see her immediately.

"Can I go see you now?" Lu Li didn't want to hide his thoughts, so he asked directly.

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Lu Li vaguely heard Lin Lin talking to someone in a low voice, and after another two seconds, Lin Li's voice was clear again, and he told Lu Li that he couldn't let her come to the hospital now.

Lu Li expected that he would be rejected, so he didn't ask anymore, thinking in his heart that he would have to find a way to go to the hospital by himself, and he could ask Li Xinning or Uncle Xu for help.

She and Lin Lin said that they were going to go for a check-up, and the two made an appointment for a video call in the evening before ending the call.

Xu Wei came over when he saw that the phone was finished and asked Lin Lin how he was doing, Lu Li said briefly, and asked him if there was a way to go to the hospital.

Xu Wei said that in the current situation, it is definitely impossible to go to the hospital by casually looking for a relationship, and he does not approve of Lu Li going again at this time, when she followed that Qi Bureau into yesterday, he was very worried.

Lu Li smiled and said that they had just been released from isolation, but they had passed by infectious diseases before, and the hospital was not so terrible.

"Lu Li." Xu Wei's tone suddenly became serious, "I don't want you to be in any danger zone now, you know?" I promised your mother to take care of you, this time I went to receive the award and almost had an accident, do you know that I was worried about you when I was isolated in the hospital, I didn't worry about you myself! ”

Of course, Lu Li knew that she didn't quarrel with Uncle Xu like she usually did, but just muttered back, "I know, don't be angry." ”

Xu Wei gave her a fierce look.

That night, Lu Li couldn't make a video call with Lin Lin as agreed, they just talked on the phone, Lin Lin said that there was something wrong with his mobile phone, and the camera was not working, and Lu Li knew that it was a lie as soon as he heard it, and he didn't know what happened to make him not video with him.

In the early hours of the morning, the news about infectious diseases made hot search headlines, and another case of infection was confirmed.

So he doesn't video with himself.

Just when she didn't know what to do, Qi Ju called her and told her that the second confirmed case was not Lin Lone, and although Lin Lone was still a suspected case, her condition was quite stable, so let her not worry.

Lu Li proposed to go to the hospital to see Lin Lone, and Qi Ju replied with certainty that no, let her do what she should do outside, don't scare herself.

"I promise I won't let him happen again." This is Qi Ju's promise to Lu Li.

——

Four days later, the Fengtian Health Commission issued an emergency notice in the media about the emergence of an unexplained respiratory infectious disease in the city, and a team of health department experts had been stationed in the hospital to start work.

Lu Li saw this news in Xu Wei's studio, and many colleagues from Xu Wei and his mother came over today, these people have all experienced the terrible epidemic more than ten years ago, and now they all look at the news and say that this information is very timely, and I hope it will not deteriorate further.

Lu Li stood aside and listened to everyone's discussion for a while, and felt that his heart was stuffy and he went out to breathe, today is cloudy, Lu Li looked up at the clouds in the sky, and remembered some things when the epidemic broke out more than ten years ago.

At that time, she was still young, and she only remembered that the first thing she did when she went to school every day was to take her temperature at the school gate to make sure that she did not have a fever.

Lu Li stayed at home alone most of the day, when his father was still working in the museum, and he was also in a semi-rested state there because of the epidemic, but his father basically didn't go home until after work every day.

As for what her mother was busy with, Lu Li thought about it for a long time before she remembered that she had hardly seen her mother during that time, and her mother did not appear at home until the epidemic ended for many days.

But she never asked what He Linxi was doing, and her father and she never talked about it, because they were used to the absence of their mother in their daily lives.

But now she suddenly wanted to know.

Lu Li called Xu Wei, and intuitively felt that Uncle Xu must know his mother's whereabouts during those days.

Sure enough, after listening to Lu Li's speech, Xu Wei immediately replied that he was basically with He Linxi during that time, and he had been in the city all the time.

"You're in the city?" Lu Li thought that his mother was out of town.

"That's right. You didn't ask me about this today, and I'm going to tell you, didn't I come to the TV station today to watch the materials, and what I watched was what I filmed with your mother during that time. When Xu Wei told Lu Li about this, a very precious recording was playing on the computer screen in front of him.

"What did you shoot?"

"It was taken during the time you asked me just now, and as soon as you asked, I knew that your mother had told you everything, and during the worst period of the epidemic, your mother and I were in a hospital on the outskirts of the city, photographing medical staff and those infected patients on the front line every day."

Lu Li's eyes were stunned.

In the afternoon, when Xu Wei returned to the studio, he brought back the documentary he said about recording the treatment process of infectious diseases, which was a piece of information that had not really been made public, and naturally not many people had seen it.

It took Lu Li forty minutes to watch it in its entirety, and when the video screen finally stopped, she raised her eyes to look at Xu Wei, who was standing behind her and watching it again, and she saw that Uncle Xu's eyes were a little red.

"I didn't expect this to happen more than ten years later, at that time, I was with your mother every day, and I was nervous and excited as soon as I put on an isolation gown and walked into the ward every day, and then I left work very late every day, almost all of them were eaten together after I cooked for your mother, we lived in the dormitory of the hospital at that time, and we never left the hospital until the epidemic was controlled......"

Xu Wei talked about these past events, and his reddened eyes shone brightly.

Lu Li listened silently, and waited until Uncle Xu finished speaking and calmed down a little before speaking, she asked Xu Wei if she could make another documentary like this.

"You mean to go to the hospital and film the treatment process of this infectious disease?"

Lu Li nodded, "Yes, although everyone has experience this time, and the situation is not as dangerous and uncontrollable as it was back then, the medical staff on the front line are still facing the same situation, and they should be recorded." ”

Xu Wei took a deep breath after listening, turned his head to look at the afternoon sun shining through the window, he felt that the blood was surging in his body, which felt very similar to a certain day more than ten years ago.

That day, he looked at He Linxi, who was dressed in black, and asked him decisively if he dared to go to the most dangerous isolation ward with her to make a film.

"Okay, I'll apply, you prepare first." Xu Wei made a quick decision, just like back then, without hesitation.

——

A day later, when the sun was setting, Lu Li and Xu Wei walked into the isolation area of the hospital.

When I went in, I saw Qi Ju, but Qi Ju's identity changed this time, and when Lu Li and the others saw her, she was on an infusion.

"I'm starting to have a fever too." Qi Ju said very easily, she saw Lu Li holding a camera that was also shielded, "Come in to work?" ”

"Yes." Lu Li looked at Qi Ju's face, not knowing what extent her condition had reached.

Qi Ju has always been sharp in looking at people, she saw Lu Li's thoughts, so she took the initiative to talk about her body, she started to have a fever and cough last night, and her state was similar to Lin Lin at first.

Hearing her mention Lin Lone, Lu Li immediately asked if she could go and see Lin Lin Lin first, she hadn't seen Lin Lin since she met Lin Lin through the door that night.

Qi Ju glanced at the nurse standing on the side and asked her if she could call the doctor over, the nurse turned her head and went out, and Qi Ju told Lu Li that Lin Li's symptoms had worsened again, but he still couldn't be diagnosed after so many days.

"Why can't it be diagnosed if it's serious? Could it be that he is not suspected at all, but that other diseases have been mistaken for this isolation? Such a thought suddenly popped into Lu Li's mind.

If that were the case, how nice it would be.

But the doctor who was called by the nurse quickly broke Lu Li's illusion, he talked about Lin Li's condition, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Lu Li's forehead when he heard it.

Although the doctor said that it was best not to go to the ward to have close contact with Lin Lone, Lu Li still asked to meet, and she made it in the name of coming in to shoot a documentary this time.

After Lu Li finished talking to the doctor, he turned his head to look at Qi Ju on the hospital bed, "I don't want to do this just because of my personal feelings, this is also my job to come in this time." ”

An hour later, Lu Li saw Lin Lin through the door of the ward again.

Lin Lin was helped up from the hospital bed by a nurse, and after the nurse helped him put on a mask, and after the ward was disinfected, Lu Li took the shooting equipment and pushed open the door and walked into the ward.

"Just stand there, don't go any further." Lin Lin stopped Lu Li from continuing to move forward, and asked her to stand ten steps away from him.

Lu Li first said to the nurse and asked Lin Lian's body temperature what it was now, and the nurse replied that she had just finished measuring it five minutes ago, and it was thirty-eight degrees five, and she still had a high fever.

Lin Lin smiled through the mask, "This is the lowest measurement result at the moment. ”

Lu Li couldn't speak, just nodded vigorously at him, and then his eyes locked on Lin Lian.

When the nurse left the ward, Lu Li took advantage of Lin Lone's time to look at the door of the room, and was about to quietly move forward, but as soon as he raised his foot, he was stopped by Lin Lone's gaze again.

"I came in to work, I came in with Uncle Xu, I want to record the real situation of the medical staff and patients, I need to be closer to you." Lu Li tried to convince Lin Lin to let her come closer.

Lin Lin frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the shooting equipment in Lu Li's hand, "I guessed, just look at you when you come in with this." ”

Lu Li took a breath, "Then I'll come over." "I want to move on.

Lin Lin didn't speak this time, he looked at Lu Li and shook his head, Lu Li only took one step forward, and finally stopped.

"How's it going out there, do you have any contact with the repair room, they're okay." Lin Lin suddenly asked about this.

Lu Li really contacted her, and on the day she announced the epidemic, she called Lin Lone's master, Hou Boping, to greet the old man's body and ask them to pay attention to protection, but she didn't mention Lin Lone.

However, Hou Boping asked her about Lin Lin and asked her if she had any news of her apprentice Lin Lin in the past year.

Lu Li and Lin Lin talked about the content of the call with his master, the old man was in good health, but he was very worried about the apprentice who lost the news, Lu Li did not say that she had seen Lin Lin in the hospital, and lied to the old man that he had no news.

Lin Xiao listened calmly, his eyes were slightly distracted, he slowly moved his body and sat on the chair, Lu Li wanted to come over to help but was stopped by him waving his hand.

After sitting down, Lu Li could hear his rapid breathing a few steps away, because the chair was a little closer to her, and she could see more clearly that there was almost no blood on his face.

Lin Lin straightened up the hospital gown on his body, looked at Lu Li and asked him if it was okay for him to be photogenic now, and his tone was flat as if he was just preparing for a very ordinary interview.

Lu Li looked him up and down, "You will be tired from sitting like this, or you should lie down, can you talk for a long time now, if not, I won't record it, and we will ......"

Lin Lin interrupted her, "I can, it's not as serious as you think." ”

Lu Li's eyes were hot, and he lowered his head and looked at his feet, it wasn't serious, so what should I do.

She used the excuse to debug the equipment, and after a few minutes to adjust her mood, she set up the machine and prepared for work. It's just that the interview preparation I made before, but I can't remember it when it's time to use it, and the anxious emotions are all on her face.

Lin Lin saw it.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Otherwise, let's get familiar with it today, just warm up, I'll talk to you about something else first, and then officially shoot tomorrow." ”

Lu Li nodded subconsciously, and only after reacting did he realize what Lin Xiao had just said, so he asked him what he was going to talk about, and turned off the equipment while asking, and put it at his feet.

"We've talked about a lot of topics halfway through, and we're throwing a bunch of holes, which is a terrible habit." Lin Lin looked at Lu Li, and his tone was very relaxed.

Lu Li was speechless, he was right.

Lin Lin suddenly turned his head to the side, covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed, although it was not violent, but he still made Lu Li stand up nervously, turned his head and rushed to the door of the ward, shouting at the nurse.

"Don't shout, I'm fine!" Lin Lonely's voice sounded behind her.

Lu Li looked back at him, Lin Li's cough really stopped so quickly, and because of the abnormal flush on his face just now, Lu Li couldn't believe what he said was okay.

"It's fine, sit down." Lin Lin pointed to the chair where Lu Li was sitting, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Lu Li gritted his teeth and sat down, "Don't be reckless, tell me immediately if you're uncomfortable." Somehow, his eyes turned red when he said this, and Lu Li hurriedly lowered his head and asked Lin Lin if he could start talking.

"Okay, let's talk about that incident first," Lin Shi adjusted his breathing, "You asked me how Officer Bai died in the line of duty. ”

Hearing this, Lu Li's eyes raised.

"Strictly speaking, her death cannot be said to be a martyrdom, and I have deceived many people and glorified the last impression she left in the world."

Lu Li felt that his breath was stagnant, and he wanted to tear off the mask he was wearing and take a good breath.

"She committed suicide by borrowing my hand, and the people who know this truth, besides me, also have your father and my mother."

Lu Li felt dizzy.

She remembered what her father had told her when he was still alive, that Officer Bai was accidentally injured and killed by Lin Lian, this is the public statement of the case, but Lu Guowei later told her that the truth is not so simple, but he didn't explain what was going on.

She thought that it was impossible for her to hear Lin Lin talk about it in person. She had been desperate to find out what had happened, but now she was too scared to listen.

The already depressed mood plummeted even more.

Lu Li didn't know what more terrible so-called truth he would hear next.
