There was a sudden harsh "zizi" sound in the Bluetooth headset, like the sound of the microphone being resonated on the stage, I took the opportunity to scream, took off the Bluetooth headset, my cry woke Lu Zenghan from hypnosis, his blank eyes were stunned for a moment and quickly recovered his clarity, and then looked at me with a slight anger in his vigilance: "What did you do to me?" β
"Hypnosis," I replied calmly looking him in the eye, "for you to tell me the truth, I don't want to see you wronged." β
"You know!" Lu Zenghan couldn't help but burst out, his pale face was slightly red from thin anger, "How the hell did I know you in my fucking life!" After saying that, I couldn't help but slam my fist on the table between me and him.
The police in the conference room issued a warning to Lu Zenghan, and Lu Zenghan tried his best to restrain his anger and turned his head.
I bit my lip, and the blood bubbles on my mouth tasted sweet. I expected him to be angry. He was such a self-respecting and conceited man that he couldn't bear to be forced by me to say something he didn't want to say. I looked at him seriously and said, "You can blame me or blame me." I don't regret it. Even if everyone thinks you've killed someone, I still believe you won't, so I can't let you take the blame. If you hate me because of this, I'm not afraid, as long as you can be well, you can do anything. β
Lu Zenghan's lips were picked, and his face loosened a little, but he didn't turn his head to look at me yet. I slowly picked up the yellow colored pencil, scribbled on a blank piece of A4 paper, and handed it to him and said softly: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can't bring you moon cakes, just draw a few." β
This time he finally couldn't help it, turned his face, looked at what I had drawn, and then raised his eyes to look at me, his eyes full of sarcasm. I admit that my paintings are indeed not flattering, especially in this hasty situation, the moon cakes painted are like dogs gnawing, and the moon is not round. He twitched the corners of his mouth, but still took my drawing.
I was slightly happy, looked at him and said, "I'll be outside tonight and watch the moon with you." β
"Childish!" As if he had been touched, Lu Zenghan finally spoke, turned to look at me, and there was a hint of softness in his eyes, "I can't see the moon." β
"Then I'll help you see more." I pursed my lips and smiled.
Lu Zenghan shook his head gently, and the corners of his lips finally flashed with a smile, there was joy in the smile, but more helplessness and bitterness. I didn't say anything more, reluctantly looked at him again, and turned to leave the conference room.
The white team had already come out of the next door, looked at me and asked, "Can you still do hypnosis again?" β
I shook my head, "Not today." He was already alert, and it was difficult to implement it again. After a pause, I thought of a question, "Can what he said just now under hypnotic conditions be a valid confession?" β
The white team did not answer me explicitly: "We need to study and study." "It's a patterned clichΓ©.
I didn't force me to ask again, and after greeting Director Mei, I left the substation on my own. It was already bright outside, and there were a few missed calls from Han Muzhi on my mobile phone, so I sent him a WeChat message, telling him that I had something to go out and wouldn't go back tonight, so I turned off my mobile phone.
The Mid-Autumn Festival heat in the south of the city dissipated, the moon was bright and clear, I came out with a cup of coffee at the nearby Starbucks, there was nothing to stay near the Binhai Branch, I walked more than 200 meters, there was a stone fence around the tree, I sat on it, watching the cars and people shuttling on the road, I sipped coffee, but my heart was very satisfied. It's very close to him, he's inside, I'm outside, and we can share a round of bright moon.
After sitting for a long time, there are fewer cars on the road, and fewer people are gradually decreasing, so they all go home for the holidays, right? I've always been afraid of the holidays, I'm afraid of other people's reunions and I'm lonely, especially after separating from my sister, that loneliness is even more biting. Nancheng is not home to me, but with Lu Zenghan who is as lonely as me in the wall, I don't feel as lonely as in previous years.
Just thinking about it, a dark shadow appeared in front of me, I hurriedly raised my head, and the tall and tall Director Mei changed into civilian clothes and stood in front of me, looking at me and smiling slightly. In the afternoon, he was wearing a police uniform, majestic and full of theories, so I just wanted to be called "Director Mei", and after changing into civilian clothes, he seemed to be in line with the name "Mei Zijun", with long legs, light blue shirt, thick eyebrows and eyes, even if he didn't speak, he seemed to be smiling slightly, "Ren is ruthless and moving".
"Master MeiβZijun," he blushed a little when he called his name for the first time, "why are you here?" β
"After working overtime, I was looking for something to eat nearby, and suddenly I saw you." Mei Zijun sat down next to me, "You don't really want to accompany that Lu Zenghan for the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?" β
All my words were broadcast live in the afternoon...... I forgot my feelings at the time, and now I can only blush and burn, I looked around, where is there any place to eat? He has been working in the substation for so long, and he doesn't know where to eat? I hesitated and asked, "You didn't come to me on purpose, did you?" β
"Haha, you are worthy of being a psychologist, I can't fool you." Mei Zijun laughed loudly, "I won't hide it from you, I was looking for you on purpose, I'm curious, is there really such a good woman?" Will you accompany a criminal suspect to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, or will it be across the wall? β
I twitched the corners of my mouth, I couldn't answer this, what Lu Zenghan and I said, they all heard it clearly, I don't know how they laughed at me in their hearts.
"Why don't I take you to dinner first, and then you can watch the moon here?" Mei Zijun proposed, "I don't have anything to eat by myself." Rather than both of us spending the holiday alone, let's get together and have a good meal first. β
I finally understood why the white team said that Director Mei has a wide network, this person has a natural chivalrous backbone, righteous and nosy, and it is strange that he is not popular. I smiled and shook my head, "That's not going to work. I said okay to look at the moon outside, you can't go. β
"Eh, you!" Mei Zijun looked at me with interest, "When you say it, you don't compromise at all." It's so rare, it's so individual, it's so individual. Seeing that I didn't speak, he continued, "To be honest, I have listened to your lectures twice before, and I think you are very professional, and when it comes to painting analysis, you are simply a model of a scholar, but today I think you are very different." β
"What's the difference?" I asked.
"Psychiatrist, I may not be allowed to call it, that is, those of you who study psychology, you should be very rational, very calm, have a routine in speaking, and inadvertently figure out the thoughts of others, a very scary kind of person. You used to give me this feeling, but today it's different, emotional, stubborn, not at all like a psychologist. Mei Zijun said while thinking about it, "Except when you use hypnosis, it will be like a psychiatrist, and I will be stunned by the white team." β
"I'm a therapist, or a counselor, not a doctor." I corrected.
"Oh, healer," Mei Zijun nodded, "Awesome." Psychology is not to be underestimated. But then, like a child, you painted mooncakes and gave them away, you really have yours, how did you come up with it? I wouldn't have given away things like that in elementary school. Mei Zijun looked at me with a smile, "Painting cakes to satisfy hunger, I saw it in reality for the first time." β
How to come up with it? Poor. I pursed my lips and smiled: "Poverty expands the imagination." "I used to live a very hard life with my sister, and it was difficult to get together the tuition fees, let alone living expenses. At that time, I thought why there were so many festivals? Endless festivals all year round, what Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, you have to eat well, don't eat and feel sorry for yourself, eat and have no money, just draw cakes to fill your hunger. Drawing with each other, those days were very hard, but they were also very happy. I looked into the distance and couldn't help but smile: "When I was poor in the past, I relied on painting to satisfy myself during the holidays, so today I subconsciously have this reaction." My sister said that sincerity is good, not necessarily about how much money you have. β
Mei Zijun was thoughtful, seemed to be thinking about my words, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, look at me and smile: "Very good." Live in your own world, not pretentious. I didn't understand whether Mei Zijun was praising me or belittling me, he continued, "No wonder you like Lu Zenghan." β
"I didn't-" I subconsciously denied that my performance in the conference room in the afternoon was probably a normal person who could see my feelings for Lu Zenghan, but Lu Zenghan clearly rejected me, so I just admitted it and seemed a little cheeky.
"Don't say you don't." Mei Zijun looked at the dice in my neck and smiled slightly, "Exquisite dice An Hongdou, do you know what you mean?" β
I didn't say anything, this is a little bit of my thoughts, when I put that little dice in the palm of my hand, I have these two lines of poetry in my mind, so I will think about making it into jewelry and storing it close to my heart.
"When I saw this on the monitor in the afternoon, I was still wondering, or did the white team tell me that you used to make cakes on the island." Mei Zijun looked at me and said seriously, "Ke Qiao, I just took the liberty of calling your name, taking off that police uniform, I am talking to you from the perspective of an appreciative brother." You're a very good girl. From the first time I listened to your lecture, I felt that you were a very powerful woman, who could analyze abstract psychology so thoroughly and absorb the inner things of others. You know so much about human psychology, but do you know Lu Zenghan? Do you know the complicated situation of Lu Zenghan and the voyage behind him? They have caught the attention of our police, and we hope you can take care of yourself. β
Mei Zijun's words made me a little confused, I looked at him silently, the shoes on my feet stepped on the stone fence behind, desperately looking for the fulcrum. What does it mean that he and the voyage are complicated? I can't understand,
Mei Zijun smiled: "I may be talking about it when I say this, after all, you and I are chatting for the first time today, don't scare you." But I'm just an old problem, and once I decide that someone is good, I'll have something to say to you. Not only me, but also Lao Bai, are sorry for you. β
Mei Zijun's voice was very gentle, but it was like a thorn that pierced my heart. But he was well-intentioned, I understand. I nodded, "Thank you." β
Mei Zijun smiled and shook her head: "You didn't listen to it at all." Your eyes are still stubborn. After speaking, he jumped off the stone fence and said lightly, "Let's take a good look at the moon for a night, it's absolutely safe here." Mei Zijun pointed to the Binhai branch not far away, "I will have the opportunity to make a report in the future." After saying that, Mei Zijun waved at me and left.
Chances? I pondered his words, if I continue to get involved with Lu Zenghan, I'm afraid I won't have a chance.
The moon was shining, I sat on the stone fence and watched the moon all night, and gave my sister WeChat Mid-Autumn Festival blessings, she replied to me very late, Alipay transferred me a holiday red envelope, she has always been willing to me in money. I held my phone and looked at the wall of the precinct, and the important people in my life seemed to be not far away.
The Mid-Autumn Festival night in the south of the city, with this flower moon and autumn wind, no need to dream.
