Qiao Ran finally opened his mouth, although his voice was subtle and weak, every word was so sure and clear: "Let them not come again, I want to forget, but they make me unable to forget......"

Qiao Yan knew that the "they" in her mouth meant those criminal policemen. Her previously lost consciousness slowly condensed, and her expression gradually became painful. If Qiao Ran hadn't gone to the Black Cat Mansion that night, he wouldn't have walked that path alone, and he wouldn't have suffered such misfortune. She couldn't blame Lu Bin, it wasn't his fault, his pain and remorse, she also saw it in her eyes. In the final analysis, it was herself who should be blamed, she brought Qiao Ran there, but she was drunk and crazy and abandoned her.

has made an irreparable mistake, and now Qiao Ran is asking for nothing more than to let those criminal police officers stop bothering, and she, as a sister, has no reason to refuse. She had no choice but to let go of her principles and satisfy her sister's pitiful request.

"Okay, I'll go find Yu Chihong." Qiao Yan tearfully promised.

Qiao Yan entrusted Qiao Ran to Aunt Ah Xiu and got out of the hospital by herself. The clouds were thick and heavy, and the thunder swirled in the sky, and it was about to rain. She walked all the way to the dock without an umbrella, and when she got on the boat, it began to rain in a drizzle, and the flying drizzle was as vast and indifferent as her floating, unpredictable thoughts. After the ferry docked, she stepped into the drizzle. The weather was very cold, the wind blew on the face as sharp as a knife, and the rain was even more cold. In this way, she walked all the way to the pier of Zhulang Island, took a boat to the opposite shore, and then walked to the public security bureau.

Wei Chihong was wearing a police uniform and sat at his desk. An ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts, his eyes were haggard, and his chin was full of beard slag. He stayed in the office last night and didn't close his eyes all night. The murderer who poisoned Professor Zhuang Yiqun has not yet been caught, and there has been no substantial progress in the investigation of Deng Xiaolong and others, and no evidence has been found. At the same time, the serial rape case on Chalang Island has not been solved, and Qiao Ran has become a victim again, and refuses to cooperate with the investigation. He was worried and at a loss.

Qiao Yan suddenly broke in wet and scared Wei Chihong.

"What's going on?" He didn't notice that it was raining outside.

"It's raining." Qiao Yan said embarrassedly.

Wei Chihong stood up and took out a dry towel from the cabinet, he sometimes spent the night in the office, and some toiletries and blankets were prepared. He wiped Qiao Yan's wet hair with a towel. "I'll do it myself." This is in the office, Qiao Yan didn't want to be tongue-in-cheek, she took the towel and wiped it a few times, and then threw the towel aside.

"I have something to tell you." Her slightly moist eyes stared at him urgently.

"What?" Yu Chihong's eyes made contact with her. His eyes were full of red threads, but his eyes were eager and sincere.

"Don't bother Qiao Ran anymore." Qiao Yan pleaded softly, "She doesn't want to remember the process of victimization, it will only make her more painful, don't force her anymore." ”

Wei Chihong looked at Qiao Yan in surprise, he didn't expect her to say such a thing. "You don't want to catch criminals anymore? Have you forgotten who you are as a criminal portraitist? ”

Qiao Yan took a deep breath of cold air. "I'm a criminal portraitist, but I'm also the victim's sister. If catching a criminal must come at the cost of destroying my sister, then I'd rather act as if it never happened. ”

"Destroy?" Yu Chihong was a little puzzled by Qiao Yan's use of this word.

"Yes, destroy!" Qiao Yan choked heavily in her throat, "You know PDST, seven years ago, Qiao Ran had PDST caused by psychological trauma, and then I studied psychology and became a psychiatrist, I spent a lot of time and effort to take her out of the shadows slowly, and basically cured her heart disease, but she still left an indelible, phobia of fire." If she suffers another psychological blow, it will be difficult to heal. ”

Yu Chihong's face changed, and he wanted to say something, but swallowed again. He pondered for a moment before he spoke solemnly: "Rape is a criminal case, it is a serious crime, whether the victim wants it or not, the procuratorate will prosecute the suspect." In the public security investigation stage, investigators must collect evidence comprehensively. We can communicate with Qiao Ran in another way, but we can't give up. ”

"There are other ways to find evidence, why do you have to hold on to Qiao Ran?" Qiao Yan raised her voice and became emotional.

"Calm down." Wei Chihong pressed a hand on her shoulder, "There have been a series of rape cases on Zhulang Island recently, and the nature is very bad. Although the modus operandi is similar, it is not yet possible to confirm whether the same person committed the crime, and the testimony of witnesses plays a very important role in determining the direction of the investigation, determining the facts of the case, completing the litigation task, and achieving judicial fairness, especially the testimony of the victim himself.

It is because there is still a sick concept in Chinese society that the victims are shameful. If it is made public, it will be spurned for the rest of your life. Society's appeasement of criminals and indifference and discrimination against victims condone the development of sexual crimes. I don't understand why you have such a sick idea after living in the United States for so long. ”

"Sick?" Qiao Yan blinked in disbelief, and all the pain, anger, worry, torment, wandering and other emotions in her heart suddenly had a concentrated object to vent. She shouted angrily, "You actually said that I was sick, you didn't have a sister who was raped, of course you can't understand the feelings of the victim and her family." Don't put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance in front of me, it will only make me feel hypocritical and ridiculous! ”

Yu Chihong seemed to have received a sudden blow, and all the expressions on his face disappeared suddenly. He stood there straight, like a marble statue, with a hand on Qiao Yan's shoulder, but he began to tremble, his eyes were like two bottomless pools, deep, misty and strange.

Qiao Yan was frightened by his demeanor, but she was so dazed by anger that she didn't care about Wei Chihong's feelings at all, so she pushed his hand away and rushed out of the detachment leader's office.

"Qiao Yan!" "Qiao Yan!" Someone shouted behind him.

Qiao Yan didn't hear it, but just walked forward mechanically.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his arm hard. She turned her head in shock, and was immediately stabbed by Li Shuhua's fierce gaze. Li Shuhua in Qiao Yan's impression has always been gentle and elegant, even if she was drunk that night, she did not lose her demeanor, but today she became so strange, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"You come with me!" Li Shuhua didn't know where to get the amazing strength, and even dragged Qiao Yan into the pantry next to her and closed the door.

"I heard what you just said to Wei Chihong. Qiao Yan, you're too much! Li Shuhua's voice trembled with excitement, "Since you got him, why don't you cherish him and hurt him like this?" ”

"I hurt him?" Qiao Yan was angry, "Please figure it out, he hurt me." If you're here to accuse me, I'm sorry, I don't want to argue with you, I'm already tired. ”

She wanted to get out, but Li Shuhua blocked her way. "You listen to me first." She was cold, "Don't you want to know, who Xiao Xuan is?" So now, I can tell you. ”

Qiao Yan looked at Li Shuhua with some astonishment, she didn't expect that Li Shuhua would mention Xiaoxuan at this time.

"Xiao Xuan is Yu Chihong's own sister, called Yu Chi Xuan. Seven years ago, she was brutally gang-raped to death, and Wei Chihong was present at the time, he was chained and unable to move, and watched his sister be ruined and died, but he was powerless to rescue. Li Shuhua's words were like a sharp blade, and the words pierced into Qiao Yan's heart, "That incident hit him fatally." After that, his temperament changed dramatically. He used to have a high attainment in painting, but in a body painting class, when the female model was halfway off her clothes, his emotions suddenly lost control, he went crazy and threw away his brush, rushed out of the studio, and never painted again. ”

The blood quickly faded from Qiao Yan's face, which is the reason why Yu Chihong can't face female nudity, and this is the truth that he "suffers" from "female phobia". She only felt a sharp, tearing pain deep inside, violently and violently eroding every nerve in her. What did she just say to him! How could she be so cruel and ruthless!

"Qiao Yan, no one can understand the feelings of the victims and their families better than Wei Chihong. Not only his sister, but also his sister-in-law was once a victim. Li Shuhua saw that Qiao Yan's face was pale, and her tone softened, "If it weren't for the last resort, I wouldn't have said this to you, I just hope that you can be considerate of him and have a good talk with him......" She choked, turned her back to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and opened the door and went out.

Qiao Yan then came out of the pantry, she was going to find Yu Chihong, but found that the door of the detachment leader's office was closed, and Yu Chihong had already left. She quickly rushed down the five flights of stairs and saw Yu Chihong's Lexus luxury off-road vehicle driving out of the gate of the Public Security Bureau. There was already lightning and thunder outside, and the bean-sized raindrops crackled and smashed to the ground, Qiao Yan rushed directly into the rain and chased the car.

There was a pothole outside the Public Security Bureau, there was water, Qiao Yan didn't pay attention, as soon as she stepped in, the muddy water got into her shoes, and the cold air spread from the heart of her feet to her heart, as if the whole person was immersed in cold water. Cars sped past her, mud splashing all over her body.

Yu Chihong's car had long since disappeared, but Qiao Yan was still rampage forward aimlessly, tears mixed with rain, and frantically crawled all over her face. She ran blindly, and she didn't know how long she had been running, and finally the pain in her heart was somewhat evacuated. Passers-by cast curious glances at her, and they must have regarded her as a female madman, a female monster!
