Ningke was smoking a cigarette in the waiting room, and he sat in his chair shaking his legs.

The door to the ward opened, and he immediately threw the cigarette holder into the ashtray and pressed it out, which was already full of finished cigarette butts. Ning Ke stepped forward to surround Zhang Lan who came out: "How is it?" Is she willing to explain the situation? ”

Zhang Lan shook her head sadly: "She said she wanted to be alone and quiet." ”

Alas......

Ning Ke sat back in his chair and pulled a cigarette case out of his pocket to smoke another one. As soon as I opened it, I found that there was not a single cigarette inside, and I had just smoked it all.

"Here, Boss." Shen Chenchen was very discerning and handed Ning Ke a cigarette and lit him with a lighter.

"Stop smoking!!" Zhang Lan suddenly shouted, "Why are you people like this? When such a serious thing happened to a little girl, you don't want to comfort and comfort you, just think about handling the case! ”

"Auntie, what you said is wrong." Ning Ke spat out a puff of smoke, "We are also on business, besides, don't we also want to solve the case as soon as possible and give the little girl an explanation?" ”

"We won't comfort people......" Shen Chenchen muttered in a low voice, he scratched the back of his head, and said with a confused expression, "Why don't I go out and buy something for the little girl to eat, comfort and comfort her?" Or buy some toys or something. ”

"Pull it down, how old are they? Will it be rare? ”

Ning Ke rolled his eyes.

Shen Chenchen has only been in the bureau for a year, and he is very eager to get a girlfriend, he often tells Ning Ke that he wants to buy something to chase the little girl, but generally the girl he wants to buy doesn't like it, so Ning Ke has to tell him to pull it down quickly before he spends the money every time.

"Oh." Shen Chenchen looked disappointed.

"Alas!" Zhang Lan sighed fiercely and sat down on the chair helplessly.

For a moment, the lounge became unusually quiet, except for the sound of Ning Ke exhaling as he smoked.

"I'd better go buy her something to eat!" Shen Chenchen stood up suddenly, he couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere here, and wanted to take the opportunity to go out to breathe.

"Where do you buy food in the middle of the night?" Zhang Lan looked sad.

"Hey, you don't know that!" Shen Chenchen had an expression on his face that it was finally my turn to show, "Around here, there is a breakfast stall that is open all night, specially for those truck drivers who pull goods at night. We often go to eat when we are working on cases. ”

"Really?" Zhang Lan stood up in surprise, "What's there to eat over there?" I'll go buy it with you! ”

Shen Chenchen scratched his head: "It's just some fritters, tofu brains or something, I don't know if you like to eat it?" ”

The clothes Zhang Lan wears are all famous brands, her husband has made a lot of money in business in recent years, and she can be regarded as a rich wife, and she looks very expensive when she dresses up.

So Shen Chenchen was a little worried about whether such a noble lady would be able to accept the breakfast stall that was picked up on the roadside.

"It's okay, just get hot, let's go." Zhang Lan didn't care at all, and directly pushed and pulled Shen Chenchen away.

"Boss, let's go buy something to eat." Before leaving, Shen Chenchen didn't forget to greet Ning Ke, "Do you want to help you bring a little too?" ”

"It's okay, bring more fritters for the brothers, as well as more tofu brains and pickles."

"Okay."

—————————

Jing Sheng sat alone in a small hospital room with his legs crossed.

She cried in this position for a long, long time.

Just now, when Zhang Lan was telling her what had happened, she felt as if she had been thrown off the plane, and she felt that she was constantly descending, falling faster and faster, and the cold air knife cut through the skin, causing invisible wounds but painful wounds that could not be healed.

Until the end, Zhang Lan said to her: "So what the police said to you just now is true, and all the evidence shows it...... It was your dad who killed your mom. ”

After hearing this, her soul continued to fall, and there was a violent impact directly with the ground.

She moved her lips, but she couldn't say a word.

She felt as if Zhang Lan was hugging her and saying things like "don't be too sad" to her.

The words that floated in her ears continued to invade her brain like a spell, making her feel that the whole world was noisy and noisy. It was as if all the voices were surrounding her.

Painful, struggling, and overwhelmed voices all came out of my head, and they lingered in my head and refused to go away.

She felt that she gently pushed Zhang Lan away, and said in a deep voice, "Auntie, I want to be quiet." ”

Zhang Lan went out after hesitating for a long time.

She was left alone in the whole world.

Really, really, alone.

————

Why did the father do that?

She couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

Although my mother is sometimes nagging, she is very good to her husband after all. She would rather go out to work and earn money by herself than wronged her family.

Jingsheng still remembers that every time she came home from vacation, her mother would pick her up at the train station, hold her hand and say that she missed her very much, and would make her delicious home-cooked food.

She still remembers that her mother used to send her some fruits and snacks from home when she was in school, and even though she had already said that everything was available at school, she insisted on sending them to her.

She even felt that her mother must not have left her.

She stretched out her hand into the air, and in her confused vision she seemed to see her mother's hand holding her.

Mom's figure is so familiar. Jing Sheng looked up along the phantom, and his mother was still wearing the same dress she had worn for several years, which had been washed and faded.

Just as she was about to look at her mother's face, her phone rang.

The sound exploded in her ears like firecrackers, startling her.

Is it a girson?

She picked up her phone with a hint of anticipation.

It's not Jisheng, it's Dad.

She couldn't believe it, thinking of what her aunt had just told her, and the words "Dad" displayed on the mobile phone screen, tears poured out uncontrollably again.

She stretched out her trembling hand to pick up the phone, and her voice was thick nasal: "Hey...?" ”

"Hey, Xiaosheng, it's me, Dad!" Chen Xuefeng's background sound was a little noisy, mixed with some men's laughter and scolding.

“…… It's me. Jing Sheng wiped away his tears, knowing that his father must be in the casino at the moment. This voice was so familiar to her, and her father didn't know how many times he had called him from the casino in the past few years.

"Tsk, I'm sorry to call you so late. That one...... Do you have any money on hand? Daddy wants to use it. ”

"Daddy." Jingsheng said in a very soft voice.

"Well, you say?" Chen Xuefeng held a cigarette in his mouth and whispered to the person opposite, "Open another game, open another game."

Jing Sheng felt that her own nerves were like a string that had been tightening, always being pulled by the cruel reality, and after such a long struggle, that string finally couldn't bear the pressure of tearing.

"Why did you kill your mother?"

With a bang, the string broke.

"......" The cigarette in Chen Xuefeng's mouth fell, smashed to the edge of the gaming table, smashed into the cold uneven ground, and was bounced up and rolled down the ground for a long time.

In the end, it was trampled by the chaotic crowd.

"Don't speak, do you? Does it work for you to pretend to be dumb now?! You've been lying to me, haven't you?! Jing Sheng held the phone and roared angrily, angry and desperate, "Why are you doing that?!" Do you have a conscience? How can you... How can you not be sad at all? Are you still human?! ”

"......" Chen Xuefeng still didn't speak, he listened to the roar of his daughter on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone.

Di Di Di –

Jingsheng heard a series of cold electronic sounds.

"You speak! You tell me you didn't do it! You give my mom back!! She completely collapsed, screaming at her phone, crying and shouting with all her strength, "You give my mother back!" ”

"Jingsheng!" Zhang Lan rushed into the house and hugged the out-of-control Jingsheng. She was also carrying a bag of freshly cooked fritters in her hand.

Zhang Lan threw the fritters on the table, hugged the crying Jingsheng and kept patting her back to comfort her: "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, you still have an aunt!" ”

"What's going on?" Ning Ke and the doctor also ran in to check on the situation when they heard the commotion.

"You give my mother back......" Jing Sheng covered his face and kept repeating this sentence, but Ning Ke didn't react when he talked to her.

"It should be that the patient is overly emotional, so don't stimulate her." The doctor said to Ningke.

"That's not right." Ning Ke keenly pointed out, "It's impossible to be like this for no reason, it's okay just now." ”

He searched around the hospital bed and found that Jingsheng's mobile phone screen still displayed the call record just now. The caller's name is "Dad".

Ning Ke exchanged glances with the police officers beside him and nodded.
