When I woke up again, I was already lying in a strange environment, surrounded by a white expanse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Where am I?"

I laboriously spit out three words from my mouth, and Nie Qian's happy voice immediately sounded beside me, "Jun, you finally woke up, you scared me to death." ”

"Where am I?" I asked again.

Nie Qian's face appeared in front of me, slightly haggard, "This is the hospital, you fainted at the door of the coffee shop just now." ”

Remembering my own hysteria just now, I said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I went too far just now." ”

"No, it's my fault, I know you're working so hard these days, but I'm still so willful......"

As she spoke, Nie Qian's eyes turned red, tears swirled in her eyes, and she was shaking.

I raised my hand to caress her face, and was about to speak, when a familiar voice came from my ear, "Alas, I said you are not tired? This is the hospital, can you go home with a flirtat? ”

It's Lin Hui, I didn't expect him to be here.

Nie Qian's face turned red when he said it, and she stepped aside shyly, and then what caught her eyes was a ruffian's little white face, Lin Hui stared at me with wide eyes for a while and said, "Look you still have the strength to flirt here, it should be almost good, then don't pretend to be dead, get up quickly and get out of the hospital early, alas...... Alas, don't pull my ears, it hurts! ”

Suddenly, a small white hand grabbed his ear, and after that, a curse came, "You really can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth, where is this?" What do you say about not dying?! ”

This person who spoke was none other than Lin Hui's first love Nie Qian's roommate, Zhong Lu.

Needless to say, he came with Lin Hui.

"Ouch, my aunt~"

Lin Hui was like a child who had made a mistake, begging for mercy again and again.

I was made to cry and laugh by them, and I couldn't stop coughing, Nie Qian hurriedly patted my chest, turned her head and stared at this pair of living treasures, and said angrily: "Okay, can you stop making trouble?" He needs to get some rest. ”

"Yes, we are relieved to see that you are okay, then we will leave first, and then call me if we have something."

Lin Hui finally escaped from his girlfriend's "claws", stuck out his tongue at me, and left with Zhong Lu.

"What's wrong with me? Why do I faint suddenly? "I shifted my body to make myself more comfortable.

Nie Qian glared at me with disgust, "I'm so tired, your burden is already heavy these days, plus it rained just now, how can your body stand it?" ”

I suddenly remembered Xu Long, who was still in the safe house, and hurriedly asked, "How long have I been sleeping?" What time is it? ”

Nie Qian raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist and said, "It's nine o'clock in the evening, and you've been asleep for seven hours." ”

"What? So long?! ”

I felt anxious and struggled to sit up, but was forced back to the bed by Nie Qian.

"What you need now is rest, and you still have inflammation in your body, and the doctors are worried that you will get infected, so you can't be discharged tonight. As for that Xu Long, he called just now, and I have already told him about your situation, and he said that you should recuperate well, and I will talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow? Did he really say that? ”

"Am I going to lie to you? Now, even if there is a big event, you have to rest. Nie Qian looked at me with round eyes.

I looked at the ceiling helplessly, suddenly remembered something, and said, "While you are free now, can you tell me about three years ago?" ”

Nie Qian was stunned when she heard this, her face was cloudy, "Do you really want to know?" But you haven't even eaten dinner, and now your body is ......."

"I'm fine, I already know the worst anyway, what could be worse than that? Tell me! ”

I strengthened my tone, in fact, the reason why I asked Nie Qian now is not only because I want to know, but also because I can verify whether what Xu Long said is true or false through her narration?

I have always been skeptical about Xu Long.

Nie Qian heard the insistence in my tone, shook her head and sighed, "It seems that it is impossible to seal this matter, alas, forget it, who made this an extraordinary time, but I can't tell you much, because most things are not announced by the police." ”

I said "um" and didn't look at her, but waited quietly. Although I still have some memories of the events of three years ago, it is very vague, maybe because of this, there will be mistakes, no matter how much Nie Qian knows, at least a little more than me.

Nie Qian got up from the bed, sat down on the chair next to me, and slowly recounted the unbearable experience three years ago.

"I remember that it was a huge homicide, and there was a lot of uproar in the city, and I have forgotten the specific date, but I remember that the victims of that case were a family of four, and the murderers broke into the house and killed people, and they did not rob money but to take their lives, and the methods were extremely cruel, resulting in three deaths and one injury to the family, and the murderers had a total of four people......"

Hearing this, I interrupted her with a short breath, "It's hard...... Don't...... I'm one of them?! ”

I was almost looking at her with begging eyes, and I just hoped that Nie Qian wouldn't give that terrible answer, but I knew that it was self-deception, and now I couldn't escape it.

Nie Qian pondered for a long time before she nodded, like a judge judging crimes, and fell heavily on the hammer.

I only felt that the world was spinning for a while, although I had been mentally prepared, but my heart still fell straight to the bottom, and this subversive mental gap was simply a kind of destruction for me.

I closed my eyes in despair, completely speechless, until Nie Qian said the next sentence, which gave me a little comfort in my broken heart.

She said: "But you are different from the other three murderers, you are just with Wangfeng, and you did not kill anyone, and the only survivor of the family was also saved by you, and in the end you turned into a tainted witness, which can be regarded as making up for it." ”

"Make up for it?"

The corners of my mouth twitched uncontrollably, how could three lives be forgiven if they made up for their mistakes?

I felt my eyes get wet and choked up and said, "Why are we doing that?" What was the motive for the killing? ”

"I don't know the identity of that family, the report doesn't say it, and they are being sought revenge, and the other three people who were with you were sentenced to death, and you are the only one alive."

I listened solemnly, and when I saw that Nie Qian didn't mean to continue, I asked curiously, "What?" Is that all? What other details are not? For example, the name of the victim? The murderer's killing process and so on......"

Nie Qian stripped the hair on her ears and said with a gloomy expression: "That's all I know, the reason why I broke up with you at that time was because I couldn't accept this reality, and because of this, I deliberately blocked any news about that case and didn't continue to pay attention." ”

"You made the right choice, if I am really such a person, you really shouldn't be with me."

The deep inferiority complex made me very depressed, Nie Qian gently stroked my cheek with her soft and lightly scented hand, and said pityingly: "At that time, I really hated you, and even felt that you should be sentenced like the other three criminals!" You always thought that the reason I left you was because you saved that survivor, but no, I just hated you for ruining the happiness that should have belonged to us. ”

These words were extremely sharp, but they did not make me feel unhappy, but they relieved me, and also untied a knot that had been buried for many years, the reason why Nie Qian broke up with me was out of necessity, not because of love, if I had been myself at that time, I would have made the same choice.

Thinking about this, I finally came to my senses, "So the person I rescued back then is still alive?" ”

If this is the case, I will undoubtedly have another important clue.

Nie Qian's hand paused in the air, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face, "Hmm... I guess so. ”

I frowned, trying to recall what happened back then with Nie Qian's narration.

"It was three years ago one night, I was on my way home from work to save a dying woman, but she died shortly after being taken to the hospital, and I was suspected by the police, whose incompetence allowed me to be imprisoned in the criminal police brigade and released after three months of fruitless interrogation...... "I looked at Nie Qian blankly, "this ...... That's what I know, why can't I remember what you said? ”

Nie Qian looked at me distressedly, "When a person is greatly mentally stimulated, there will be selective amnesia and forgetting those things that you don't want to remember. But that's just my guess, and I think that's probably what you're doing right now. ”

I nodded suspiciously, thinking that there were still people who had survived, and that the burden on my heart had been lightened a little.

Nie Qian smiled a little bitterly, "After getting back together with you, I made up my mind not to mention the incident three years ago no matter what, but it's a pity that the more you want to avoid it, the more you can't get rid of it." ”

I opened my arms, gave her a hug, and whispered in her ear, "I don't know what it means to be a man, but for the sake of you and our future, I will be strong, and no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we can rush through it." ”

"Well, remember what you said today, no matter what happens in the future, you have to do what you say!"

Nie Qian was already crying, I gently wiped the tears on her cheeks, tried to squeeze a smile from my gloomy face, and said, "I'm hungry, can you help me buy something to eat?" ”

Nie Qian was very happy to see that I was coming to have an appetite, she nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked out of the ward with a smile.

After she left, I took the mobile phone on the table and dialed Xu Long's number, I asked for the information on the old case from three years ago, the sooner the better.

Xu Long's attitude was as calm as usual, not impatient or impatient, he first inquired about my physical condition, and then at his request, he personally sent the case materials over, saying that it was for the sake of safety.

As for the information left behind in Uncle Yan's place, it doesn't matter whether it is recovered or not, because they have already seen Lu Yong, who should be seen, and the top priority is to speed up the investigation, looking forward to investigating this case before the other party is in trouble.

After Nie Qian sent the food she bought to the ward, she was persuaded by me for a long time, and then she reluctantly went home, and today she was also drenched in the rain outside the coffee shop, and she has not even changed her clothes until now, so she is very easy to get sick.

Not long after she left, Xu Long came to the hospital and brought me two pieces of news, but unfortunately they were all bad news.

The staff of the revenge room that served us on the day of the crime has long been missing, and now the criminal police team has cooperated with the surrounding counties and cities to cast a net to hunt down, but it is difficult to catch people in a short time.

I had foreseen this for a long time, and it was expected, but the second bad news brought by Xu Long almost didn't startle me to faint again.

Zhu Lu, who had already gone abroad through a relationship, actually died abroad!

"How did he die?!"

"Car accident."

"What else? Was Zhu Lu's death a homicide or an accident? I asked.

Xu Long spread his hands and said that he didn't know, "We also just received the news, and other things will have to wait for the police over there to investigate, after all, the murder happened in another country, and we have no right to interfere." ”

"Another death! This...... That's a coincidence, isn't it?! ”

Xu Long seemed to understand the meaning of my words, and explained: "I know what you think, but it is too far-fetched to link this car accident with the homicide here. There are only five of the eight people in the revenge chamber that day, and these people have never even left this city, let alone going abroad. ”

"You still think the murderer is among us? And what about the missing staff? Is it impossible for him? ”

Xu Long shook his head, "We have checked, he has no record of going abroad, unless it is smuggling, otherwise he should still be in China." ”

"That's hell alive." I teased, "According to you, this car accident can only be an accident, otherwise we will have to hire a psychic medium to come back, and people can't do this anyway." ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "There is another possibility, that is, this car accident is disguised, and Zhu Lu is not dead at all!" ”

"Why would he do that?" Xu Long asked suspiciously.

"First, he is the murderer, so even if we find out about him in the end, we will only think that the murderer is dead."

"And the second?"

"The second is that he has also received death threats from the murderer, and he has no choice but to pretend to be dead, and I think this is more likely."

Xu Long touched his chin and thought deeply, as if he had been inspired by something, and suddenly stood up from his chair, "It's daytime in that country, I'll go to verify this matter immediately, and I'll notify you as soon as there is news." ”

As he spoke, he hurried off.

The silence in the ward returned again, and I apprehensively picked up the case materials brought by Xu Long, took a deep breath, and slowly pulled out the pile of documents in the paper bag.

"What should come is coming."
