It may be that you are sleeping comfortably, and your head is getting more and more groggy after sleeping. took out his mobile phone to look at the time, it was only three o'clock in the middle of the night, and he moved his fingers uncontrollably into the address book, staring at the name on the number dialed a few hours ago, and still remembered that the storage of this number was entered by him without authorization.

Instead of deliberately pretending to accidentally press the number, just quietly click on the person's name, press the speakerphone, and wait for the monotonous beep. Before I could think of the opening remarks, the phone actually went through, and a cool voice came from the other end: "What's the matter?" I looked at my phone on the desktop in a daze, unable to utter a word.

"Continue to be in this daze."

The other side hung up the phone decisively, and the beep echoed monotonously in a continuous voice. It took me half a minute before I came back to my senses, stretched out my finger and pointed at the name again, one, two, three times, and it was connected, but this time no sound came.

I hesitated and asked, "Gao Cheng? ”

A cold snort came, and his voice was not warm: "Do you know what time it is?" I honestly replied, "Yes, three points." ”

"Then why do you know what people usually do at three o'clock in the morning?"

I was silent and replied, "Sleep." ”

"So? You've been calling one after another just to be in a daze? ”

I know that this person has a bad temper when he is sleep deprived, so I don't mind his attitude. Before he wanted to hang up again, I finally found my voice: "Yang Liu'an, the wind and the waning moon." I know what that means. ”

There was silence on the other side, and I said again: "It's a person's name, Yang Xiaofeng." The latter sentence ......"

"Natsutake." The unfinished sentence was interrupted impatiently by the other side, "If that's what you're calling, then you can press the red button." As he spoke, my eyes moved to the red button on the right side of the phone screen, paused, and fell silent again. The heart said that this time he hung up again, so he won't dial it again.

But the call continued, and no one spoke, and I could hear his breathing in silence. Obviously separated by phone, the two were far away, but they felt as if he was beside him, and the anxiety slipped away quietly.

If it weren't for the door being pushed open suddenly, I could have been so quiet with him that I kept talking. But the moment I looked up, the call ended, and the other side hung up again. Listening to the beeps one after another, I stared at Xu Jianglun standing in front of the door with a trace of annoyance, his head was wrapped in a circle of gauze, and his clothes were messy and the same one, and he didn't change it.

Maybe he saw my expression, he choked on what he wanted to say, and just stood there stunned and helpless. I sighed, put the silenced phone into my pocket, raised my eyes again, and asked softly, "Are your injuries alright?" Xu Jianglun subconsciously touched the gauze on his forehead, walked in from the door, his steps were still slightly sluggish, but his mouth said: "It's not a big deal, there are many things in the bureau, and I have to come back to make a record." After a pause, he said: "Xia Zhu, your situation is very dangerous at the moment, bear with me, and you will be fine when you catch the murderer." ”

There's no patience or patience, the reality is that I'm temporarily imprisoned here. I didn't want to talk about these things, so I changed the topic and asked about the situation on Director J's side, but I saw Xu Jianglun's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "He's dead." ”

I was stunned, I was still talking a few hours ago, and the doctor also said that he was in good health, and in a blink of an eye, he said that he was dead, which is hard for anyone to believe. But Xu Jianglun's expression didn't look like he was joking, and I asked, "How did you die?" ”

"Suicide. He stuck the needle of the infusion tube down his throat. ”

"There's no medical staff there?"

Xu Jianglun's eyes darkened, "Yes, but I have been too tired and dozed off recently, and I woke up to find that the person had lost his breath." ”

Negligence! Director J is such an important witness, when he should take turns to wait for 24 hours, he can still let him commit suicide and die in a flash. In addition to shaking my head and laughing, when I don't know how to react, don't blame Gao Cheng for always disliking the police community. I must have heard the noise of footsteps in the corridor outside the door before, and that was when the accident happened.

I asked, "What about Zhang Ji?" How did he react? ”

Xu Jianglun replied with a bitter face: "The whole situation has been cut, and it is the first time I have seen him get so angry." ”

"Oh? I can get out of this door, no, if I can, I'll see how big the fire is in Team Zhang. ”

Xu Jianglun looked at me in amazement, he must have not expected me to have this attitude. And at this moment, Zhang Ji's black face sank in, Xu Jianglun immediately stood up straight, tried to cover the embarrassment on his face, and secretly glanced at me and signaled not to talk nonsense. Zhang Ji glanced at him, his gaze fixed on my face, "Jiang Xingyu is dead." ”

I was silent, looked up and looked at him, and waited for the next step.

"Regarding the watermark marking of the illustration, there is currently not enough evidence to prove that you have nothing to do with this case, and if you cannot give a stronger statement, you will still be detained as a suspect and you will not be bailed."

I couldn't help but laugh: "Is this anger?" "What is stated is a fait accompli, so why repeat it again?

Zhang Ji's eyes were like awe, and there was a hidden anger, and he stared at me for a while before he said coldly: "It's not anger, it's that you are officially listed as a suspect." Because before Jiang Xingyu died, he used a needle to draw three sections of bamboo on the edge of the bed and carved l&k. ”

I was stunned, and subconsciously went to see Xu Jianglun for verification, my eyes were clear, what Zhang Ji said was true!

It means that Director J gave a hint before he died, and the spearhead of this hint was pointed at me.

Bamboo, markers.

When I finally digested the information, I insisted on asking, "Did you ask a psychiatrist to diagnose you later?" Zhang Ji said coldly: "Do you still want to say that it is a psychological suggestion?" Didn't Gao Cheng tell you that it is impossible for any kind of psychological suggestion to connect the instructions again after a person has sobered up, unless," he paused, his eyes cold, "and you gave him another command halfway through. ”

It took a half beat to react: "You hinted when you suspected me of talking to him before?" Anger suddenly rose, and I also sank my face and said, "Don't forget that you were there at the time." ”

This is the first time I've confronted Zhang Ji, and the atmosphere may not be as hot as when he confronted Gao Cheng before, but I also stared at him as much as possible without admitting defeat. Xu Jianglun coughed and persuaded on the side: "Zhang Ji, this matter still needs to be verified, and it is not too late to make a judgment when it is clarified." Xia Zhu is impossible......" Before he finished speaking, he was truncated by Zhang Jiyang: "There is nothing possible and impossible, don't let me find out the evidence, otherwise I will be arrested no matter who it is." ”

Zhang Ji and Xu Jianglun both left, and the room was silent again, and it was difficult to calm down. Zhang Ji was really suspicious of me, and he was angry because I might have made a psychological hint to Director J in front of him to make him commit suicide. But who has given the order and asked the other party to bite back and testify against him? Could it be that I think that the level of my half bucket of water has a leak in the middle, and then I have planted myself in it?

I felt bad, took out my phone, and rummaged through the name.

When the other side was connected, I didn't give him a chance to speak, so I began to talk like pouring beans: "I heard a story about Mr. J today......" After finishing speaking, it was already half an hour, and I felt a lot more comfortable, but it seemed that there was no sound on the other end of the phone from beginning to end, and I couldn't help but hesitate to ask: "Are you there?" ”

A soft snort came, representing the presence there.

After waiting for a while, I didn't see him say anything, so I had to ask again: "Do you have any opinions?" I gritted my teeth, "Awake or asleep?" "There's reason to believe that he can sleep while still perfunctory me.

finally responded this time, but the tone was cold: "You called me again and again to harass me, just to tell me this?" ”

I pursed my lips, "I want to hear from you." ”

"Who are you? Why should I help you analyze it? ”

I was silent. As of today, he has dismissed the name of master and apprentice in front of everyone, and has dissociated himself from me. In fact, apart from this relationship, what else could I have with him? Friend? I thought, but apparently he didn't want to.

I had the idea of retreating, thinking that maybe it was really bad to call him again and again. Just as he was about to find a reason to hang up, Gao Cheng suddenly said: "Zhang Ji is cheating you." I was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"He is a person who firmly believes in the traditional criminal investigation to speak with evidence, and he doesn't believe in your theory of 'psychological suggestion' at all, so how can he doubt you with this kind of theory? Those words are nothing more than a trick to trick you. ”

I don't understand, what does Zhang Ji want to deceive me?

Gao Cheng suddenly changed his words again: "Xia Zhu, do you recognize it?" ”

When talking to him, I always feel that my brain is not enough, and I don't know where his sentence has gone, so I can only follow his train of thought and ask: "What do you recognize?" After two seconds of silence, a cool voice came: "If you were given another choice, how would you choose?" ”

It only then dawned on me that he was still thinking about the choice of the labyrinth, and said the truth: "I didn't have a choice at that time. On the surface, it is a choice, but in fact, there is only one path, which is the death of the mask person. ”

"Is there a choice? Who do you choose? Gao Cheng insisted.

I didn't hesitate: "You." ”

"Why?"

Honest answer: "There is no reason." "It's just a pure reaction at the time, without any superfluous thoughts, and when you reach out your hand, you already have a sense of autonomy. Gao Cheng's voice when he spoke again obviously eased the coldness, "Barely count you through." ”

I was overjoyed, "Can that help me get my mind out?" ”

Suspected grinding of teeth and a tone that had cooled down for a while: "Xia Zhu! The next sentence is: "You come out for me!" ”<
