Chapter 13: Trade-offs
Shen Tianli passed by one ward after another from the hospital corridor, and glanced at the ward a few times with interest.
These stranded people who once made him anxious, under Qiao Yi's follow-up treatment, although no one has woken up, let the onlookers gradually feel strong signs of life through their shaking eyes through the eyelids and the fingers that keep moving.
He smiled at Qiao Yi relaxedly, "Thank you, Doctor Qiao." ”
Qiao Yiwaner: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's obvious that I'm making amends, but I have been thanking everyone for nothing these days." ”
Shen Tianli said: "It also depends on talent. No, in the words of Dr. Joe, it depends on nature. Not everyone is conscious of their own mistakes. So, thank you. ”
Qiao Yi stopped, because he felt that Shen Tianli was becoming more and more resentful of Qiu Ling, who had not returned for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Shen Tianli also stopped.
Qiao Yi said with relief: "I heard from the bad guy, Qiu Ling has respected you a lot and helped you a lot in the past few years, but he has never asked for credit, and he is willing to go behind the scenes." ”
Shen Tianli smiled bitterly: "Respectful? Things inside and out, in fact, outsiders see it one-sidedly, but I know her better. I just want to step on my head in everything. I don't mind, it's her who minds. ”
Qiao Yi was helpless: "Officer Shen, think about the good side of everything." ”
Shen Tianli: "Is there a good side?" ”
Qiao Yi said earnestly: "In Qiu Ling's heart, it was determined that Shen Zheng killed his father, and that Officer Nie killed her mother, and you made them get away with it." Even so, she is still willing to live in this city for a long time, still call you brother, and still willing to risk her life for you. What's more, now that the facts are reversed, she is only difficult to accept for a while. I agree with Major Qi's words, and when she figures it out for herself, she will appear without urging. ”
Shen Tianli: "I hope so, I've heard too much of your words." ”
Qiao Yi smiled: "Okay, then don't talk about that." Let's talk about your PTSD problem. ”
Shen Tianli had another headache, and unconsciously walked forward again: "I know that in the eyes of psychologists, everyone is somewhat sick. ”
Qiao Yi followed him: "On the contrary, I never throw my schoolbag to myself. I'm just suggesting, yes or no, Officer Shen should accept my new plan directly like Rainble, and when you wake up, you will be your own psychologist. ”
Shen Tian moved, because through Qiao Yi's explanation in the past few days, he was extremely interested in this treatment plan named "Divine System" by Qiu Ling, and he also wanted to try it himself, but looking at Rainble, who had not woken up for a long time, he still had concerns.
He asked bluntly: "How long will it take to complete this plan?" ”
Qiao Yi said: "Seven days." ”
Shen Tianli glanced back at the ward, then turned his head and said, "No, my deputy can't work now, if I also lie in the ward, I don't know what else the teahouse can do in the past seven days to make the city's police force empty." ”
Qiao Yi said in a joking tone as much as possible: "The citizens need you, but the citizens don't need a person who can never hit the criminal with a gun." ”
Somehow, Shen Tianli didn't get angry this time, just muttered for a while, looked at Qiao Yi and said, "It's too late." The teahouse has almost put its hand in the face of the police. So even if this plan can make me wake up and become an X-Men, I will have to solve the crisis in the city one last time, on my own. ”
Qiao Yi's expression was strange, and he suddenly laughed on the spot: "Hahaha...... It's not a family...... Not a door......"
Shen Tianli: "What do you mean?" ”
Qiao Yi took his mobile phone to Shen Tianli.
The interface that opens on the screen is Qiu Ling's WeChat chat window, and the last text message reads:
"Teacher Qiao, I'm sorry, it's too late. Even if the Divine Order can make me wake up and become an X-Men, I will have to resist the teahouse one last time, on my own as I am now, with all my might. ”
Shen Tianli returned the phone to him and smiled very disdainfully.
But Qiao Yi interpreted that Shen Tianli's expression had other obstacles.
Sure enough, Shen Tianli glanced at him and continued to walk forward with him very naturally.
Qiao Yi's keen sixth sense made him faintly feel that someone was following him.
When he stretched out his head to look at the patients in one of the wards, Qiao Yi used his peripheral vision to see a middle-aged man with a probe probing his brain seven or eight meters behind them, obviously paying full attention to them.
He and Shen Tianli went out towards the end of the corridor together, and the middle-aged man followed behind them, narrowing the distance more and more boldly.
Shen Tianli kept walking forward, and when he reached the staircase, he turned around as if he suddenly remembered something.
His turn came so suddenly that the middle-aged man who was following them could not hold back his steps and almost crashed into him.
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, sir! ”
Shen Tianli was also busy: "No, it's my fault, please!" ”
He told the middle-aged man to go down the stairs first, while he was still standing. Qiao Yi saw that he already had an extremely old small notepad in his hand, which was obviously stolen from the middle-aged man's pocket by Shen Tianli.
Shen Tianli flipped through the notebook slightly, and shouted to the middle-aged man who had already walked down the stairs: "Hey, sir! It's your stuff, it just fell out of your pocket! ”
The middle-aged man turned his head and thanked him and took it. Walked down the stairs like no one.
Shen Tianli pulled Qiao Yi back to the corridor and said in a low voice, "I thought he was the one who followed us, but he wasn't. He is a university professor and should be a professor in a finance department. ”
But as soon as the words fell, the two of them looked at each other, already understanding that something was wrong.
Because the "teahouse" is a nest of economic felons.
Shen Tianli spoke first: "Rainble has already happened, and I now know the scale of the teahouse. I'm not worried about myself, but they'll definitely go to Chu Ling again. Keqing now lives in the villa in the middle of the lake in Chuling. ”
Qiao Yi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you don't even have to make a phone call." ”
Shen Tianli: "Why? ”
Qiao Yi said with a smile: "Because Major Qi's crisis response ability is obviously above us. ”
Shen Tianli snorted: "The psychology department is all virtuous." ”
Qiao Yi remembered that it seemed that Qiu Ling had made the same judgment, and laughed again.
Lake Villa.
Qi Keqing sat indifferently on the tea sofa in the small guest room.
In the half an hour after the two strange strangers entered the house, she just calmed down, as if she didn't notice them, and like a normal woman at home, she slowly removed her makeup, scattered her hair, and closed the door in the guest room to "take a nap".
But to her speechlessness, she heard a knock at the door.
The two men didn't force the door open, there was a constant thumping on the door, and the two men were just banging the door.
Qi Keqing couldn't help but say loudly: "What's the noise?" Do you want me to open the door and let you in? ”
The two people outside stopped beating, and one of them said, "Miss Phantom, I have a few words to ask you, I hope you can answer honestly, otherwise, you are asking for your own trouble." ”
Qi Keqing sneered and did not speak.
But in her heart was a real smile.
The two of them outside didn't do enough work beforehand, and they regarded themselves as Qiu Ling, which is the first laughing point. And they refer to the deer as a horse, and the people who will appear in this house are either Qiu Ling or some high-ranking police officers, and they are like bloody thieves on the bus who put their hands in the trouser pocket of the police officer, shouting at her, which is the second joke.
Qi Keqing put away the banter and decided to play Qiu Ling.
The voice outside the door said, "Miss Phantom, in your home, there are many secret devices, where is the hub that controls these devices?" You have to answer, don't take shortcuts. ”
There are indeed a lot of ingenious installations in the bungalows. These devices have made Shen Tianli, who only came here to sit down, really suffer a lot.
These devices can be said to be diverse and all-encompassing. For example, Shen Tianli once went to get a bottle of wine, the wine bottle would suddenly shatter, go to get something, open the drawer and suddenly something else unimaginable jumped out, once he went to open the window, he was shocked by the electric handle and fell out of the window and into the lake.
These secret devices, one of which was set up early in the morning when the house was built, were extremely practical and self-defense, and the other was due to Qiu Ling's own interest.
But Qi Keqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
She stayed in the house for many days without noticing that anyone was watching. How does the enemy know that there are many mechanisms in the room? Even if he heard that he could use medicine or force against Qiu Ling at this moment without touching any of his home, why should he know this?
Obviously, the problem lies with the police. Because when he left this house that belonged to him for many years, the internal mechanism was not the most advanced. Qi Keqing borrowed many times and perfected these facilities, including two rooms.
Seeing that Qi Keqing was still silent, the people outside the door sneered: "Miss Phantom, if you don't answer again, we have to put poison gas into your room, you know what the consequences will be." ”
Qi Keqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, because the size of the windows in this room was not big enough for an adult to escape and jump into the lake.
She asked tentatively, "What do you want to know about this?" ”
Outside the door, he said: "You don't have to care, just answer." ”
Qi Keqing said: "These devices do not have a master control switch, each mechanism has a different control, you have to turn it off one by one." What are the places you want to close? ”
Qi Keqing tried to delay as much time as possible, wanting to find more clues.
But the other party didn't believe it: "Give you ten seconds." ”
Qi Keqing frowned and said: "Move the water dispenser, there is a button in the corner of the wall, press it, and there will be no more mechanisms to start." ”
Qi Keqing could only hear the sound of footsteps.
After a while, she heard a heavy, shrill moving sound.
The main switch is not on the wall where the water dispenser is located, but the water dispenser used by Qiu Ling is a gift from a familiar high-end café, because of its many functions, and it is like four or five stacked refrigerators, large in volume and heavy in weight.
She just wanted to have time to think of a way out while they moved the water cooler together.
After a while, when Qi Ke felt that they hadn't moved the water dispenser, she slammed the door loudly from the guest room, shouting, "Hey! You're back! What did you do with the door locks! What are you doing locking me in? ”
Qi Keqing heard the two of them coming with an inexplicable response.
When they arrived at the door, one said, "We didn't do anything." ”
Qi Keqing patted them and made a noise from the door lock: "Let me out!" This is not a negotiating attitude! ”
One person outside twisted the door lock.
Of course, it can't be opened, as long as Qi Keqing does not pull the latch out of the card.
Qi Keqing still banged on the door vigorously.
Another person outside said: "Maybe it's just that the door lock is broken." ”
Qi Keqing was "annoyed" and said, "Let me out!" I want to see your boss! ”
Sure enough, the person outside the room pretended to be clever and said, "Miss Phantom, please believe that this is not our intention. Maybe there's something wrong with the lock, and now we're pulling it out, and you push it inside to see if you can force the door open. ”
Two big men can indeed work together to open a door that is not heavy.
Qi Keqing said, "Okay." ”
Outside the door, I heard both men clasping their hands tightly on the doorknob.
When he felt them tighten the doorknob and pull outward, Qi Keqing took a step back and used the high-voltage electric baton that he had already held in his hand and made by himself to slam it directly on the doorknob at this end of the room.
I saw the doorknob with high-voltage electricity, constantly swaying due to the violent tremors of the two people.
Qi Keqing didn't even have time to hear the screams, and the sound of two consecutive human bodies falling to the ground was heard.
When she was sure that there was no one conscious outside the door, she opened the door and saw a man with many tattoos on his arms, but extremely discordant, wearing thin-rimmed glasses, slumped in the hallway.
She smiled lightly, picked up her mobile phone, and dialed Shen Tianli's number.
