Case 19: Delusion 1

introduction

The huge conference room was empty, and only the flickering light of the projector filled the dimly lit space, giving it a pitiful glow. A person sat in the chief seat, looking at the pictures on the projection screen, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it showed the vicissitudes of life.

"Sir." At this moment, a waiter-like figure came to the old man's side, leaned down, and whispered in his ear, "About that research, it has been approved, this is the document, please take a look." With that, the waiter carefully placed a document bag on the table in front of the old man.

The old man just glanced at it very casually, and no longer looked at it, but turned his gaze to the projection screen, which showed pictures of extremely luxuriously decorated rooms.

The old man looked at him for a long time as if he were his own child, his eyes were blazing, and then he asked the waiter, "How do you feel?" Does this place qualify as a god's guild? ”

The waiter bent down slightly and whispered, "In my opinion, this place is fully qualified!" Only such a place is qualified to witness miracles! ”

The old man didn't see it, and the waiter's brow furrowed.

"Hahaha!" The old man suddenly laughed wildly, but then he coughed violently, his face turned red, and he covered his chest with his right hand, and his face was painful.

Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to the old man, who covered his mouth with it and coughed violently again.

After a while, the old man's painful expression eased. He glanced at the tissue in his hand, and there was a lot of blood in the sputum.

The old man smiled bitterly, "It seems that the heavens are running out of time for me." He stood up suddenly, stumbled and almost fell, the waiter hurriedly supported the old man, but the old man pushed him away, with a hideous smile on his face, "Hahaha, what bullshit, you can take my life, but you can't take me!" Because, we are all the same, God! Ahem! ”

The old man's miserable laughter and coughing mixed together, filling the conference room, which looked very strange!

body

Jiang Tian has been very depressed recently, very depressed.

It stands to reason that he should be happy when Jiang Tian's mother comes back, but a conversation between Jiang Tian and his mother a few days ago made him depressed that he had never been.

Three nights ago, Jiang Tian was called to the study by his mother Xu Wenxin.

As soon as he entered the study, Jiang Tian found that only Xu Wenxin was sitting alone in the swivel chair, staring straight ahead with his eyes and losing his mind, and when he heard Jiang Tian coming in, he turned his head and smiled lightly at Jiang Tian, "Sit down." ”

Jiang Tian sat on the sofa directly opposite the desk, full of doubts.

Xu Wenxin smiled slightly, "I found a reason to spend your father, now it's just a conversation between you and my mother and son, and I hope that our next conversation won't let your father know, understand?" ”

Despite the many questions in his heart, Jiang Tian still nodded.

"You know, I was so glad that my son had become a hero and saved his mother from danger, how brave and how proud I was! But later, I listened to what your father told me about some of the cases you solved, from the Pang Zhenjun case at the beginning, to the 'Angel' project, the trip to Japan, the crematorium, the skinning maniac, the mutated test sample, etc., you know, maybe others will find it very exciting, but I only have one thought: terrible! ”

Seeing that Jiang Tian seemed to want to say something, Xu Wenxin motioned to him not to speak yet, "Your father thinks you are a hero, but I am very worried, I am so afraid that you will be in those things...... There was some surprise. Xu Wenxin's voice was a little choked.

The corners of Jiang Tian's eyes were also a little moist at this time.

"So." Xu Wenxin calmed down and continued, "Stay away from these, stay away from everything dangerous, be an ordinary person, and live a good life." You know, although it may sound like a lack of pursuit, it is very valuable. I am unwilling to be ordinary, I have been wrong for ten years, and I have wasted ten years of time to go back to the original point, and I saw the news, isn't Fang Liang, the richest man in our country, also dying of a terminal illness? Live an ordinary life, that's all, okay? ”

Jiang Tian's expression was very complicated, he looked at Xu Wenxin's eyes, and said word by word: "Some people are born to be different from ordinary people, and the responsibility falls on their shoulders and has to be born. You said this sentence, have you forgotten? ”

"Me?"

"Maybe you have forgotten, ten years ago, when I was a child, I overheard you talk to my father, and I have remembered it ever since."

Xu Wenxin frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

"I also think that I am still an ordinary person, and those burdens may not really need to fall on my shoulders. But now I really want to find Pang Zhenjun, dig up the undercover agents in the police station, and put an end to their conspiracy! When this is done, I will not pick up any more burdens that do not belong to me. ”

"The things you said were done by the police, why did it have to be you?" Xu Wenxin was a little excited.

Jiang Tian smiled, "I don't know, it may be an inexplicable obsession." ”

Xu Wenxin let out a long sigh, "As a mother, I really don't want to see you like this. ”

Downstairs garage.

Jiang Cheng was wearing headphones, and inside was the conversation between Jiang Tian and Xu Wenxin.

Jiang Cheng's expression was serious, and after Xu Wenxin finished saying that, Jiang Tian didn't speak for a long time, which made Jiang Cheng a little nervous.

Finally.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

Jiang Cheng took off his headphones and looked ahead blankly, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then Jiang Cheng's smile faded, he closed his eyes, and his face was filled with shame.

"I'm sorry, son!"

……

Jiang Tian was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, but he just kept switching the screen and doing nothing, and Xu Wenxin's words kept echoing in his mind.

"Alas, is it possible to stay away from all this and be an ordinary person again? Forget it, don't think about these things, let's go out for a walk. Jiang Tian thought to himself.

Since it was a weekend, there were inevitably more people on the streets, and people looked relaxed and enjoyed this rare leisure. Jiang Tian wandered aimlessly, feeling a little hungry in his stomach, raised his hand to look at his watch, and unconsciously it was already half past two in the afternoon, and happened to pass by a tea restaurant, so he decided to go in and eat something to satisfy his hunger.

There are not many customers in the huge tea restaurant, probably because it is only half past two, because the peak traffic of the tea restaurant is generally around noon and three or four o'clock in the afternoon. The dΓ©cor of this cafΓ© is uniformly decorated in warm pale yellow tones, which makes people feel more comfortable and comfortable at a glance.

Jiang Tian found a seat by the window and sat down, flipped through the menu, and ordered a few side dishes and a fruit salad, plus a cup of milk tea.

While waiting for the food to be served, Jiang Tian saw that someone had also entered the tea restaurant. The man also saw Jiang Tian, waved at him, and walked over with a smile on his face.

This person sat opposite Jiang Tian and asked, "Why is the great detective here?" Jiang Tian smiled: "It's not that I'm starving." After a pause, he asked again, "Huang Zhi, why did you come here to eat ......?"

Jiang Tian suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and then he immediately shut up and looked at Huang Zhi with a slight apology.

Huang Zhi's parents divorced when he was a child, and his family background was not superior, and only his grandmother raised him as an adult. When Huang Zhi grew up, although his family was still in a difficult situation, he still devoted himself to taking care of his grandmother, who was paralyzed in bed when he became an adult. The city knew about Huang Zhi and provided assistance to his family, and Huang Zhi was also rated as one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Youths" by the city.

Jiang Tian knew Huang Zhi because he knew about him, and he admired him very much, and a chance encounter made the two become friends. The reason why Jiang Tiangang asked Huang Zhi why he came here to eat was because in the past, in order to save money, Huang Zhi would directly find a roadside stall to bite a few steamed buns and make do with a meal, and he would not come to the tea restaurant to waste money on petty bourgeoisie, and he had to save money to treat his grandmother.

Huang Zhi's expression was a little unnatural, he was silent for a while, and said, "Satisfy your appetite occasionally, fortunately, the dishes here are not expensive." ”

Jiang Tian smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, you know, I didn't mean anything else just now." ”

"yes, I know."

"By the way, is your grandmother's illness better?"
