Chapter 27: The Hand of Fate

I had a dream that I was in a pure and beautiful world, with a clear sky above my head and a crystal-like crystal ground under my feet, where heaven and earth reflected each other, forming two transparent and dazzling mirrors, and the air was transformed into countless wonderful dances, light and illusory. In the distance, a girl approached from a distance, surrounded by a light mist shrouded in flickering light, as if an extraterrestrial realm was rising.

I tried to open my eyes and see her figure clearly, and after struggling for a long time, it was always hazy in the distance.

After that, I woke up, lay in the hospital, half-closed eyes and immersed in the dream, pondering the source of the dream, and finally remembered that the scene in the dream was the unfinished painting I had seen in Meng Xing's apartment.

When I opened my eyes, I found that my left shoulder was wrapped in thick gauze and there was a bandage on my arm. The pain spread throughout the body, and he was weak and weak.

Ran Jing sat next to her to check the medical bill, and the old aunt and Han Mingfei were talking at the door. Seeing me open my eyes, Ran Jing jumped up excitedly, she forgot about my injured shoulder, leaned over and pinched my cheek and said, "I know you can't die!" ”

The old aunt heard the movement and walked over and pulled Ran Jing away: "Hurry up and call the French side and say that the child is awake." ”

His lips were so dry that they were pulled open by Ran Jingyi, and they stinged.

Ran Jing went out to make a phone call, and only her aunt and Han Mingfei were left in the room. Han Mingfei said: "This child's life is really big. ”

My aunt touched my forehead: "It's not that he is dead, it's that he is bold, and the family members of the police are different." ”

They kept asking me how I was feeling. In the end, Han Mingfei patted his head and said, "You should call a doctor to take a look, and we asked in vain." ”

I was very thirsty, I said I wanted to drink water, and my aunt heard me talking, her face relaxed, and she went to the nurse's station to ask for water.

Ran Jing came back with the phone with tears in her eyes, and at a glance, she knew that my mother on the other end of the phone was crying sadly, which infected Ran Jing.

Sure enough, Ran Jing put the phone next to my ear, and my mother's sobbing sound came from the phone, and I could only comfort her softly, saying that I was fine, but I was slightly injured, and my mother's crying was even more shocking.

In the end, Xia Xia was relieved, and Summer took the phone, she didn't cry, and said happily: "You have become a hero now, I have told my classmates about your courage to save the police, and they all admire you very much, saying that you deserve the National Medal." ”

My story has spread to France, Ran Jing became excited, dare to say anything, my aunt often criticized her, saying that when she tried the prisoner, the prisoner still felt that he had hope of survival, so she told them from the bottom of her heart: According to your crime and case, you will definitely have to be shot! The suspect with poor psychological quality immediately cried.

When it comes to saving people, I suddenly think of Meng Xing. After hanging up my mother's phone, I gasped and asked Ran Jing, "What about Meng Xing?" Is she okay? ”

Hearing me ask Meng Xing, Ran Jing's face turned straight and stared at me without speaking. Looking at her serious and sad appearance, I "chuckled" in my heart, thinking that it was over, Meng Xing must have been killed, thinking that Meng Xing was dead, I collapsed on the bed weakly.

Just when my nasal cavity was sour and I was about to grin, Ran Jing laughed, looking at her standing there and laughing crookedly, she was pretending to be deliberate just now, and couldn't help but stand up: "It's shameful for the police to deceive people!" ”

Ran Jing walked over and sat down and said dissatisfiedly: "I know Meng Xing, your brother-in-law was the first to rush in, and he almost detonated the bomb, in order to save Meng Xing, half of your life was crippled, fortunately, the robbers were too stupid, otherwise you would really hang up." ”

She recounted what happened next: the robber shot me in the shoulder, the bullet went through the bone and hit someone else, and I fell to the ground hitting my head and fainting. After the short man finished shooting, he was dragged into the hall by the tall man, and the rest of the robbers tied Meng Xing and disappeared together, and set up a lead bomb before leaving. Chen Xiao led the special police to slowly enter through the side door, defuse the gate bomb, and rescue the hostages. And Meng Xing devoted himself to the investigation work, and he has not finished it yet.

After Ran Jing finished speaking, I asked, "Finished?" ”

She said, "That's it." ”

"What about the robbers?"

"Ran!"

"How did you run?!" I was surprised to hear Ran Jing say that the robbers had run away.

At this time, my aunt and Han Mingfei came in with a doctor, and my aunt fed me water and said, "You are not a policeman, catching robbers is a matter for the police, so don't worry about it." ”

Han Mingfei said with a smile: "I think let him be a policeman, in the face of robbers, he can pounce on the muzzle of the gun to save people, how many policemen can do it?" ”

My aunt threw over an apple for him to peel, turned her head to look at me and said, "You can't be a good policeman with courage alone, you can only be a martyr. It's a pity that you became a martyr before you loved it properly at a young age. ”

Listening to my aunt talk about "love", I felt that she was alluding to me and Meng Xing. Looking at Ran Jing again, she seemed to be thoughtful and silent.

The doctor gave me a thorough examination, and my body was fine except for the shoulder that had just undergone surgery and needed to heal slowly.

After hearing the doctor say that my extreme shock was the main cause of my coma, Ran Jing, who has always hated the timid, did not laugh at me this time, and she kept calling me a fool with tears in her eyes.

The doctor took Ran Jing's words and said that people in a specific environment will be stupid if they are extremely frightened, and even go insane, so frightened that Ran Jing, who has been talking about me stupidly, quickly covered her mouth and asked me what 1 plus 1 is.

It had been two days since Meng woke up to see me in the hospital, and she was dressed in civilian clothes and looked tired. Ran Jing came with her, but after Ran Jing entered the house, she said that she was going to the bathroom and never returned.

Although I was looking forward to seeing Meng Xing, I didn't know what to say when I really saw her. She was carrying a fruit basket and a bunch of nutritious products, and when she came into the room, she saw a thick white gauze wrapped around my shoulders and blood stained on the surface, and she bit her lip and sat down on the edge of the hospital bed.

The two of them looked at each other silently for a few seconds, and I tried to say something, and when I saw that there were two packets of toddler milk powder in the nutritional supplement she brought, I said, "This is for me to drink?" ”

Meng Xing looked down, I pointed to the toddler milk powder, she smiled and said, "I heard from my colleagues on the team that milk powder is the most suitable for recovery after injury." ”

"You can't drink toddlers."

"Oh...... It turns out that there are different ages. Meng Xing looked at the milk powder with a sudden realization.

I couldn't help but laugh at the way she looked at her, and I frowned as I felt a piercing pain from the wound.

Meng Xing saw the change in my expression and asked, "Do you need to call a doctor?" ”

I laughed miserably and said, "I'm fine, are you okay?" ”

She stared at me for a moment and said, "I'm not good. ”

I thought about it and said, "I thought we were all dead." ”

She nodded and said: "As soon as the gun went off, I was very scared, not worried about myself, as a criminal policeman, I was mentally prepared." I was afraid that you would die, and I watched you fall from the bullet and bleed all over the ground, and I only cared about covering your wounds, and nothing else. ”

I said, "Prepare what?" Sacrifice at any time? ”

She looked at me and didn't speak.

I learned from my aunt's tone and said: "You can't die casually as a criminal policeman, you are so young and beautiful, you have become a martyr before you have loved it well, and your death is not great at all." ”

Meng Xing smiled and said, "This is what you said?" ”

"It seems that you can't lie to the police, my aunt said. However, I said that you are pretty. ”

Meng Xing stopped laughing, and then, she slowly leaned down and hugged me gently, in the process of this short hug, the corners of Meng Xing's eyes flashed, and a tear flowed down her cheek, and she wanted to raise her hand to wipe it off, but the tear fell on the back of her hand, warm and wet.

In this desperate crisis, although I am physically and mentally exhausted, my heart is as warm as spring.

I didn't ask Meng Xing about the final plot of the robbery, and I didn't want her to recall that life-and-death experience.

Chen Xiao described to me how the robbers escaped: a hole was dug in the wall of the manager's office in the bank's office, leading to the bottom of a building adjacent to the bank outside the bank, which had been rented by the robbers before the crime. After entering the house, the robbers quickly changed their clothes and entered the building through the back door to escape.

The bombs, guns, and clear escape routes indicate that this is a group of professional and premeditated bandits, and the provincial department has also sent experts to help solve the case.

After listening to Chen Xiao's story, I was disappointed that the robbers ran away calmly.

The media gossip is the most clever, the reporters don't know where they learned that a robbery victim was being treated in the hospital, so they came to interview, but fortunately they didn't know my identity, and the police were very strict, and they all returned in vain.

Only Zixuan and my colleagues in the hotline team knew about my experience.

Lu Jiaqi made an exception and spent money to buy a valuable foot bath massage tub and sent it over, so that Zhu Ning, who was carrying a roast chicken, complained for a long time: "Xia Yu has a shoulder injury, why did you buy a foot bath?" ”

Lu Jiaqi said: "This is a foot bath, not a foot basin." ”

Zhu Ning threw the roast chicken into the basin: "Is there a difference between the two, isn't it all related to the feet, if your head is kicked by a donkey, will it work to bandage your buttocks?" ”

Lu Jiaqi suddenly woke up and patted his thigh: "Yes, yes, what am I buying a foot bath for, this money is not a place to spend!" ”

Looking at Lu Jiaqi, who was scratching his liver and lungs, I couldn't help laughing: "Soaking the foot basin is very good, it promotes blood circulation, and when the feet are hot, the whole body is hot, which is conducive to wound recovery." ”

Lu Jiaqi became happy again, and volunteered to go to the nurse's station to find hot water, but every time there was no news, I don't know if I talked to the doctor or the nurse.

Liu Nannan moved the small coffee machine to the ward, for which she quarreled with the nurse who obstructed her. I said, the unit is very busy, don't all come, this little injury, it will be fine in a few days. She insisted that the last time I was beaten by a group in the hospital, I was beaten for her, and this time I fought the robbers, and my colleagues were very proud. Speaking of fighting robbers, Liu Nannan glanced at Wen Liang, who was snoring in the corner of the ward. "Shh She put her finger to her lips and whispered, "Don't worry, we didn't say anything to the media." ”

In order to protect the safety of Meng Xing and me, the police talked to the "hostages" who were present at the time one by one, and warned them to keep their mouths shut, and whoever dared to talk nonsense to the media would be retaliated against by the robbers and be held responsible.

After many warnings from the police, the hostages suffered from post-robbery "amnesia" and said they couldn't remember anything. Although the reporter came to the hospital many times to snoop, he was chased away by the police. Liu Nannan also scolded a reporter's mother, this reporter is known for engaging in shady scenes and making secret news, and countless officials have been pulled down by him, and of course, a large number of people have been indirectly harmed by him.

Despite all the resistance, the media published only one piece of robbery.

In the past, from the perspective of the media, if the police blocked the news, I would think that it was erasing the public's right to know.

People are selfish, no matter how big the disaster is, as long as the danger is not on them, outsiders will never really consider the person concerned, and their curiosity must be satisfied even if it stands on the extreme pain of the victim.

The shamelessness of the media is even more vivid, they never care who the victims are, under the guise of seeking the truth and public opinion supervision, wantonly trampling on other people's privacy, endlessly hyping up, competing for the so-called most valuable news clues, and satisfying the public's desire for voyeurism.

Every time Meng Xing came to see me, he carried the soup he had cooked. Once, when Zixuan bumped into him, I introduced them to them, Zixuan saw the subtlety of our relationship at a glance, and he lost no time in promoting my goodness to Meng Xing, who just listened to him quietly, occasionally smiling and laughing, without commenting.

After Meng Xing left, Zixuan sweated on his head and asked me, "Are you really planning to pursue a policeman?" Or a criminal policeman! ”

I said, "Well, no? ”

He wiped his sweat and said, "It's scary! You don't even know what she's thinking, but she can make you do anything like a prisoner. If you dare to have two hearts, listening, tracking, and investigating, you can only be Megumi Yanashita from now on! In case one day you become Ximenqing, wait to become undefeated in the East. ”

I looked at him and smiled and said, "The police are also people, and you are talking about spies." ”

As he was talking, Ran Jing came in in a police uniform and said loudly: "What do you say, who said that the police are spies!" ”

Zixuan whispered: "Another one, surrounded by so many policemen, do you still have fun in life?" ”

Afterwards, he said to Ran Jing: "Sister, we are talking about how happy it is to be a police officer's family!" ”

Ran Jing responded to him: "That's! The police came to serve the patients, and the hospital did not dare to charge indiscriminately, and the red envelopes were waived! ”

I should be grateful to the robbers for being able to bring Meng Xing into my life again, and to be closer to each other.

But the nude photos incident is like a fish in the throat, and my heart is like a wall.

The news of my hospitalization gradually spread among friends, Lao Tian and Ning Meng and others ran to the hospital when they heard the news, and the most surprising thing was that Zhao Junqing and Gao Chuan also came to see me, and it must have been Liu Nannan who told them.

When Zixuan went to Lost place, he revealed the news to Junjun again.

When Junjun brought Li Shang to the ward, she happened to see Meng Xing bringing me chicken soup, she exclaimed again and again, and asked when we were so acquainted, she didn't know at all. Then she snatched the spoon and fed me, shaking her head while feeding Meng Xing deliberately, I was worried that she was too excited to tell me about that hangover, and I really couldn't tell. I was anxious and sweated a lot.

"Seeing me so nervous, you can see that his hands are still trembling!" Jun Jun squinted his eyes and said to Meng Xing.

"Wounds, wounds hurt!" I pointed to my shoulder.

"Oh!" When Junjun heard me say that the wound hurts, he quickly stood up and stopped making trouble.

Glancing at Meng Xing, she was also looking at me, she didn't expect me to be so familiar with Junjun.

Although she didn't say anything after Junjun left, I learned the lesson of the photo incident and took the initiative to explain to her, saying that Junjun is a good friend of my colleague Zixuan, and we often go to Lost Place to party, and we have become very good friends with Junjun and Li Shang after coming and going, and I specifically emphasized "Li Shang".

"Do you remember, I also drove her car, the last time I went to the Jiangxi Road Police Station."

Meng Xing kept listening, and at the end of her sentence she said, "I already knew that you knew each other, and I asked Junjun last time." ”

"What did Junjun say?" I asked.

"Why do you keep sweating?" She handed over a towel.

I wiped my forehead, Meng Xing looked at me and wiped my sweat and said, "She said that you are her friend's buddy, or her buddy's friend, I can't remember clearly." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of relatives are you and Junjun?" ”

"Didn't Junjun tell you?"

I said, "It's like sisters." ”

Meng Xing nodded: "She is my uncle's daughter." ”

She peeled an apple and handed it over and said, "Junjun was adopted by her uncle, but her real surname is Meng." Her hometown is in the remote mountainous areas of the north, she lost her parents when she was a child, and her grandmother raised her, and when she was ten years old, her grandmother was gone. It just so happened that my uncle went to their hometown to donate to build a hospital, and when he saw Junjun in winter, he was wearing a tattered single coat, lying in a house that was about to collapse, licking snowflakes, and had a high fever. The uncle brought her back, and he has been treating her as his daughter for so many years. ”

"Junjun mixes bars every day, doesn't uncle care?" I asked.

Meng Xing sighed: "Junjun has a rebellious personality and doesn't want to study, my uncle is too busy with business, he doesn't have time to care about her, and he spoils her very much." ”

Looking at Meng Xing's melancholy appearance, I said, "Uncle is very great, and what he does is good." ”

"Uncle has done more than one good deed." Meng Xing said proudly.
