Brother Liang pushed open the door of the ward, and saw that he was looking out of the window with his back to the door, his left arm hanging from his neck, and his right hand holding a cigarette and spitting out the fog one after another. The little nurse next to him said very unhappily: "This injured patient is very uncooperative, the hospital is non-smoking, but he doesn't listen to what he says, and I don't know where he got the cigarettes. ”

Brother Liang waved his hand away and waved the little nurse away, staring at the madman who was pestle on the side, "Who asked you to buy him cigarettes?" ”

The madman spread his hands very innocently: "Lao Liang, if you don't buy it, you can't buy it, he used a knife to force me on the neck, you see, I still have blood marks here." This kid is real, I suspect he's broken here. At the end, he pointed to his head.

Brother Liang quenched a sentence, found an excuse to push the madman away, and then walked into the ward.

Standing beside him for a long time, I didn't see him turn his eyes to look at himself, he couldn't help coughing lightly twice, and asked, "What are you thinking about so engrossed?" He replied expressionlessly, "I didn't think about anything." ”

Brother Liang frowned, and tried to speak again: "If there is something you can't figure out, say it, see if I can help you analyze it." ”

He chuckled lightly one after another, and the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "Brother Liang, you may not believe it, my mind has been blank in the past few days, and everything I see is gray, as if color has lost its meaning to me." ”

Brother Liang was surprised: "You mean there is something wrong with your eyes?" ”

"Maybe, who knows, it doesn't stop you from looking at it anyway."

Brother Liang was mad, and he couldn't wait to get a madman over and beat him up, so that he could see that he was ignorant of such a big problem. Without saying a word, he pulled his arms one after another to go to the ophthalmology for consultation, and did various examinations and tests, and the doctor took the color card to let him identify the patterns on it one after another, turning it from beginning to end, none of which was wrong, and the doctor shook his head and said affirmatively: the eyes are fine.

After coming out of the ophthalmology department, Brother Liang felt that he had been tricked one after another, and asked in a bad tone: "What do you mean?" ”

One after another, he answered the question: "Is the case closed?" ”

"Will it be possible to get married in just a few days? Before the arrival of support units, some key figures fled. I arrested a zoological and medical expert surnamed Li, as well as a few small minions, and the evidence that can be found is limited, and there is only a small amount of gold ore mined, which is currently being used for identification. "Speaking of these, Brother Liang can't help but be angry, he spent so much money to go into the mountains, born and died, and in the end there was only one middle-level leader who was caught, and the rest of the key people died and fled, as for the internal situation of this organization, there is still no clue.

This result is not surprising, or rather expected. Since Lao Tie is the head of this ravine, then he is dead, and the forces under his jurisdiction must retreat as soon as possible, and in the deep mountains and old forests, there are many secrets that outsiders don't know, and there is a secret passage to the outside of the mountain hidden there, which may not be found even if you look for a few years.

Brother Liang also talked about some other circumstances of the case, because the trust was one after another, and basically did not hide it. During the process, they listened carefully one after another, but they never expressed their opinions, which surprised Brother Liang, and when they discussed things in the past, they were always very able to give advice. waited until the issue of the hostage's stay was discussed, and then he was moved one after another, and raised his eyes to look over, "You said that all the people who were on the list of missing persons sent someone back after recording their confessions?" ”

Brother Liang nodded, "Don't worry, Wu Xiang and the two policemen you specifically pointed out are temporarily detained pending further investigation." "Wu Xiang is the old Wu who entered the black bamboo ditch with them before, and the three of them were caught in the dense forest in front of Shimen Pass.

But I don't know that the focus is not this, but ...... Xiao Jiu's two companions. His head had been blank since he saw his lighter fall out of the pile of bones that morning, and he was in a trance when anyone spoke to him afterwards. You can't listen to the numbers or homophones related to "nine", and when you hear it, you will be in a state of whiteness. So he often emptied his mind and tried not to think about it in that direction, until Brother Liang mentioned those just now, and the word Xiao Jiu invaded his mind little by little and became clear.

"Do you know the addresses of those two?" I heard myself asking one after another.

Brother Liang was puzzled: "Which two people?" ”

The next day, they set foot on this Jiangnan capital for the second time. According to the information I got from Brother Liang, I found the Municipal People's Hospital, and it was easy to find the specific ward number by reporting the person's name. He can't be discharged from the hospital yet, the injuries on the back of his head and back need to be recuperated, and his broken arm is still hanging from his neck, but he is panicked and thinks that he has to do something, otherwise he will sit in the ward all day long, depressed to the point of going crazy.

When I opened the door of the ward, I was slightly surprised that there was no one inside, only a man lying on the bed with his eyes closed, still hanging a drip on his hand. It's a single room, and it's relatively good, but I don't know why no one takes care of it.

After walking in the door one after another, he gently closed the door, and then he was not in a hurry to disturb the other party's sleep, but looked at the face in silence. He didn't have a deep impression of him, he only saw him once, and he was still in a fog under the dim firelight, so it looked like he had seen him for the first time. I only know that his name is Peng Ye, and I learned it from Brother Liang.

The scene flashed through my mind, and a familiar astringent and blunt feeling emerged from the bottom of my heart. It's just a few dozen days in a hurry, but it's like going through half a lifetime, and looking back is a fragment of memory.

Seeing that the drip was almost over, and no nurse came to check, he was about to turn around and open the door to call, but the door was pushed open from the outside, and a nurse in white walked in with a cart, and asked a little curiously, "Are you here to visit the patient?" He hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The nurse walked to the head of the bed and said, "Miss Shen has something to go out and will come back in a while." If you don't have anything to do, just stay here for a while with the patient, the nurse's desk is a little busy today, and you may forget to change the drip. As he spoke, he quickly replaced another bottle.

asked one after another: "What is this hanging on?" ”

"Glucose nutrition, when the patient comes to the hospital, he is severely malnourished, his blood sugar is low, and he looks like he is going to collapse. Now the complexion is much better. I'll go out first, and if something comes to call me. She pushed the cart away again, looked at the open door one after another, walked over and closed it again, and when she turned back, she saw that the man in the hospital bed had opened his eyes and looked at him with a blank expression.

It stands to reason that at this time, the two people who don't know each other will definitely ask "who are you", but Peng Ye only looked at him silently, as if his eyes passed through his body, and the focus did not know where to go. He was not afraid to be stared at by a kid in his early twenties, and walked over and said straight to the point: "Hello, my name is successive, yes...... Xu Jiu's friend. I'd like to ask you something about her. ”

Peng Ye finally raised his eyes and asked bluntly: "Are you a policeman?" He shook his head one after another: "No." ”

"Then why am I telling you about her? Even if it is, everything that can be said when I recorded the confession before has already been said. ”

Staring at it one after another, it seems that this kid has a very unfriendly attitude. But he didn't care, the purpose of this trip was to see the people Xiao Jiu had always wanted to protect and rescue, and even asked him to ask him before deciding to die. Now I see that in addition to losing some weight, there is no lack of arms and legs, and I can also have the strength to hurt people, which should be pretty good.

He felt that there were some things that Peng Ye should know, so he spoke slowly: "After you entered the Black Bamboo Ditch and lost contact, Xu Jiu went into the mountains with us to find you, you should know about this matter." She is currently missing, and I would like you to provide information about her......"

"Is it missing?" Peng Ye interrupted in a deep voice, a cold gaze shot out of his young eyes, "Actually, it's dead, don't hide and say such hypocritical things to fool people, just die, you come to tell me this, do you want me to feel guilty?" I didn't ask her to find it, she died there, who is to blame? ”

He took a hard breath and almost punched him in the face. I thought that Xiao Jiu's heart was thinking about the rescue, at least he was kind-hearted, but he didn't expect that when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth, it was the word "death", and said "She died there, who is to blame", how could it be this kind of person? He was so angry that he turned around and wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, he felt that the fire still couldn't be suppressed, so when he turned around, he grabbed Peng Ye's chest and clothes, and burst out of the words between his teeth: "She is blind to come to desperately save a beast like you!" ”

"Yes! She's blind! She knows me blindly, or she knows me, she can live well today, I'm a bastard! Peng Ye shouted out with a roar, but when the words fell, tears welled up from his eyes.

One after another, he let go of his hand in a daze, and saw that this person who could be called a boy raised his hand to cover his eyes, but tears continued to flow from his fingers, it turned out that he didn't care. Watching him cry, my heart was sour, I was a little embarrassed, I wanted to say something, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I heard him buzz and cry: "Since I knew her, I haven't heard her mention her relatives, and she has lived alone in the past few years." I don't go out during the New Year's holidays, she always laughs and says that she is a housegirl, and she doesn't want to go anywhere, that's all I know, please leave. ”

I searched through all the words one after another, and finally only spit out three words: "You take care." Then he left the room in a hurry, an answer that was both expected and unexpected. When I was suspicious of Xiao Jiu, I had worked hard to investigate her life experience, but she was like a blank piece of paper, except for that special job and two partners, it can basically be said that her social circle is zero.

Seeing that she attaches so much importance to Peng Ye, she is willing to fight for her life, so she thinks that maybe Peng Ye will know more than what can be found outside. But it backfired, how could anyone's life be a blank slate?
