Chapter 188: Undercurrent
Haruko held the photo blankly, still staring intently at Koji in the photo, as if she hadn't heard the old policeman's question.
The old policeman patiently asked again. Haruko, what did you talk about with the little boy in the photo that day? As I understand it, it wasn't a weekend, it wasn't any holiday, it was the day you were supposed to go to school. But why didn't you go to school? And why didn't you go to the park or the amusement park, but to the dry ruins?
The old policeman's question vaguely drifted into the ears of Impermanence and Xiaoji. Impermanence lowered his voice to a barely audible volume, leaned into Xiaoji's ear and said, this old policeman is too cunning! We've made it clear to him that you didn't go to the ruins with Haruko that day, and we've made it clear to him that the photo is fake. However, he asked Haruko bluntly just now, what did you talk about that day? It's just too insidious, doesn't this mean that you directly ask the boy in the photo if it's you?
Xiao Zhi glanced at impermanence with a cold face, and said, experienced policemen know how to attack their hearts, and even seemingly simple questions are implied with mysteries. Not to mention treating a patient like Haruko, even treating a normal healthy person, it may not be able to react in time. We don't have to panic, we will act at the opportunity in a moment!
Haruko heard the policeman's question, and looked up at the charity-looking old policeman as if she didn't understand. The old policeman smiled kindly. Haruko looked down at the photo for a while, and then looked at Koji.
With the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the scene just now, and secretly screamed in his heart! Xiaoji drank the tea calmly, brought the cigarette between his fingers to his lips elegantly, and smoked it slowly and methodically.
Haruko stared at Koji for a long time, then slowly withdrew her gaze and landed on the photo. The old policeman looked at Haruko expectantly, his eyes anxious.
Haruko suddenly raised her head and said with a sluggish expression, I'm going to the bathroom!
The old policeman looked embarrassed and turned his head to look at Xiaozhi. Impermanence said to the old policeman, it's okay, please wait, I'll call the nurse!
Impermanence walked out the door and quickly returned to the ward, followed by a young female nurse. The female nurse walked quickly to Haruko's side, and said to the old policeman, I'm sorry, I have to take care of the patient to go to the bathroom, can you please avoid it? Otherwise, the patient will be nervous.
When the old policeman heard this, he looked embarrassed, and said yes again, quickly turned around, and walked towards Xiaozhi.
The young policeman had already run away and sat next to Xiaozhi drinking tea.
The female nurse took the photo in Haruko's hand and inadvertently put it in the pocket of her white coat. Then, holding one of Haruko's arms with both hands, she slowly walked to the bathroom.
The old policeman walked to the sofa and was just about to sit down, when he suddenly remembered something, and shouted to Haruko with a panicked face, I'm sorry, please wait, please give me the photo in the patient's hand, okay?
Hearing the shouts of the police, the nurse hurriedly stopped and calmly pulled out a photo from her coat pocket. Seeing this, the old policeman hurriedly ran over and took the photo with both hands. I said I'm sorry again and again.
At this time, only a ticking sound was heard. The nurse followed the sound to Haruko, only to see Haruko flowing down her trouser legs with streams of liquid, and in the blink of an eye, a yellowed water puddle appeared on the ground under her feet.
Oops, Haruko peed her pants! The nurse exclaimed. She then said apologetically to a few big men, can you avoid it, we have to change Haruko's clothes. It's a little inconvenient for you to stay here, because the patient may not cooperate with us, and I am afraid that she will suddenly run to the outhouse halfway through the change of clothes.
When the men heard this, they got up and walked out the door. The old policeman, with a look of self-blame and embarrassment, kept saying sorry to himself, all blame me!
Koji smiled and persuaded the old policeman. Don't blame yourself, urinary incontinence is a common thing for patients. Even if you're not here today, Haruko will sometimes pee her pants. Please wait, Haruko will change her clothes, it is estimated that it will not take long. You can continue to ask Haruko questions later.
The old policeman said embarrassedly, I don't have anything to ask for the time being. It's just that I still have a question about Mr. Xue in my heart.
Say it! Xiaozhi took a puff of his cigarette and said politely to the old policeman.
The old policeman rubbed his flushed cheeks and smiled politely, and the rough wrinkles at the corners of his eyes immediately bloomed. He said cautiously, Haruko is admitted to the Xue family hospital, do her relatives know about this? Wouldn't the patient's family wonder why they don't live in a public specialist hospital? After the old policeman finished speaking, the smile on his face slowly bloomed again, like a chrysanthemum blooming in the wind and frost.
After listening to the old policeman's words, Xiaozhi smiled calmly and looked calm. Xiao Zhi took out a business card from a black handbag and handed it to the old policeman in front of him with both hands. Look, this is Aunt Haruko's business card, with her contact information signed on it. She is Haruko's only immediate family member and Haruko's only relative in the country. It's Haruko's aunt who entrusted Haruko to me, and you can contact this old man at any time. At the moment, the old man is in the hospital, and I just went to visit the old man a few days ago.
The policeman took the business card, and the apology on his face became even more obvious. The little policeman standing beside him looked down at his toes with an embarrassed face, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Mr. Xue, then let's take our leave! It's really a shame to have bothered you for so long and caused you trouble. Thank you for your patience!
Xiaozhi politely said that there is nothing, and we are very willing to cooperate with the police investigation. Impermanence smiled at the two policemen and nodded, which was polite. It wasn't until the two policemen walked into the elevator and watched the floor numbers drop little by little that Xiaozhi and Impermanence returned to the door of the ward.
Impermanence whispered in Koji's ear, do you think Haruko seems to be really insane? If Haruko hadn't suddenly gone to the bathroom just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a chance to do it? Thankfully, the stud man is gone.
Xiao Zhi's eyes were cold, and he said coldly, I hate women who play tricks with me the most. If Haruko is really such a scheming woman, then I won't treat her like before in the future.
Impermanence's big eyes with a fierce light turned around and suddenly laughed. Koji seemed to be taken aback by Impermanence's sudden laughter. I stopped and lit a cigarette, and looked at impermanence with a sideways face.
Impermanence smiled and whispered, Xiaozhi, if I were you, I would take this Haruko. Anyway, that Haruko is infatuated with you, so you might as well fulfill her wish. People want to look good, they want to have a figure, and they don't ask you for a name, why don't you do it? If you accept Qingzi, it is equivalent to removing a big trouble, and it is convenient to teach by your side, are you still worried about her tossing with you? Xiaoji, what do you say?
Koji turned around, pressed the lighter, and lit the cigarette. He lowered his head and took a sip, tucking it between his fingers. Xiao Zhi spat out a puff of white smoke, glanced at Impermanence fiercely, smiled lightly, and said. Uncle Chang, I have a habit of cleanliness for women, and my taste is too picky, and not all women can accept it.
While the two men were talking, the nurse opened the door from the room. Koji and Impermanence didn't go in, and their eyes drifted into the house, looking for Haruko's trace.
The nurse understood and said with a smile, Haruko was a little emotional just now, so she was given a tranquilizer, and now she is asleep. Everything else is fine, don't worry.
Impermanence looked at the fair-skinned and slender young female nurse with impermissive eyes, and said appreciatively, girl, okay, well done! As he spoke, Impermanence handed the female nurse a business card. Said with a grin, this is my contact information, you go back and send me the bank account number, and I will reward you with a big red envelope!
The youthful nurse laughed happily and said thank you Chang Ye repeatedly! The nurse stretched out her white hands and took the business card from Impermanence. Impermanence took the opportunity to pinch the nurse's soft fingers, and the nurse's face turned red with shame, but she didn't dare to resist.
Xiao Zhi pretended not to see the ambiguous little movements in front of him, and Gu Zi smoked for a while.
Impermanence's attitude towards women has always been a take-it-or-leave-it doctrine, grabbing if you can, and grabbing if you can. What kind of love is not love, impermanence has no time to study this profound lesson in this life. But Impermanence is extremely respectful and patient with Xia Xue.
Xiaozhi explained some things to the nurse, and left the company with Impermanence and went to the underground parking lot.
On the way, Xiao Zhi asked curiously, Uncle Chang, if you see a lovely woman, you will take it for yourself, will your body agree? In fact, the body itself is also selective, and not all kinds of beauties can have fun.
After listening to Xiaoji's words, Impermanence seemed to hear the words from Mars. His thick eyebrows were furrowed menacingly, and his eyes were wide open. Xiaoji, what did you just say, the body itself still has a choice? For men, is there such a thing, why did I never say this? Look at your Uncle Chang, he is simply an omnivorous eater, as long as I am the woman I have a crush on, my body will be ready to move immediately, even more anxious than me! Haha, whose little brother is with whom.
Xiaoji couldn't help but laugh at Impermanence. Okay, Uncle Chang, you are really a role model for men! After many years of fighting, the sword is still not old. What's even more rare is that your appetite never fails. After speaking, Xiaoji looked at Impermanence with a smile.
Impermanence looked at Xiaozhi's uncertain expression, not sure what he just said, was he praising himself? Or are you hurting yourself? In any case, the sword is always a useful word for him, so Impermanence did not carefully investigate Xiaozhi's original intentions.
Xiaozhi drove out of the company and rushed to the supermarket passing by. The nanny at home is not there, and Xiaozhi is now responsible for buying vegetables and cooking almost every day as long as there is no entertainment. Xia Xue's body is still a little weak, of course he has to do his best to nourish her body.
Xiaozhi got out of the car in front of his house, opened the trunk, carried all kinds of fish, meat and vegetables, and walked to the courtyard.
A tall, burly security guard stepped forward and said. Mr. Xue, the things that Mrs. bought online have been delivered, and according to your instructions, they have all been replaced with exactly the same propolis.
Xiao Zhi nodded with a smile and asked, did you hand over the courier to Xia Xue?
The security guard said in a low voice, it has been handed over to Mrs., please rest assured Mr. Xue!
