Chapter 16
Midnight. Gaoping Hospital.
Under the clear blue moonlight, the ward was illuminated by a soft and quiet glow. It is impossible to distinguish whether the moonlight that comes through the dark blue curtain is too beautiful, or the person standing in front of the window, who illuminates the world with wisdom and awareness radiating from the inside out.
Rainble's eyes were reluctant to leave the moonlight, as if he didn't realize that the sparkle in his eyes could make the moon inferior at this moment.
He leisurely took off his hospital gown with his backhand, and neatly changed into his washed and dried civilian clothes on the hanger, just on his reflection on the glass.
He took out a necklace with a silver-plated half-bullet from his wallet, stroked it with his fingers, and put it around his neck as if he were faithful.
This bullet was the first actual combat operation, and Shen Tianli was unfortunate in order to protect the timid self. That day, Rainble was holding the warhead pulled out of Shen Tianli's wound, and asked Nie Danwei to try to save it for herself.
Now, he has implemented his original intention impartially.
He walked out of the ward firmly and met Qiao Yi, who came to inspect the ward.
When Qiao Yi saw him and looked at the reborn person, he was a little stunned, but he quickly smiled: "I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly." ”
Rainble smiled brightly, and her eyes flashed with the same brilliance as Qiao Yi: "I can't think of it either." Thank you Dr. Joe. ”
"You're welcome." Qiao Yi's professional belief was aroused, and he happily wrote down a note in the manual, and looked up and said, "But you are too fast." ”
Rainble laughed, "Say it again, the left and right wards are going to be misunderstood." ”
Qiao Yi laughed out loud with a "poof...... and quickly lowered his voice: "It's good to have a sense of humor." Hurry up and inform Officer Shen, your awakening is important to everyone. ”
"No need."
Qiao Yi followed Rainble's gaze and turned around, only to see Shen Tianli, who had received Rainble's information, panting towards them.
Rainble looked at him and said in a fixed voice, "Brother." Sorry before. ”
Shen Tianli was stunned: "What do you call me?" It seems to be more surprising than the first time I heard Qiu Ling, who was suspected of being autistic, call himself.
Rainble must have repeated, "Brother." ”
Shen Tianli was speechless for a long time.
Rainble's eyes swirled: "yes, I haven't called you that in a long time." I was once forced to mind my origin, my ability, and even my so-called worldly status because of the fingers around me...... Now that I think about it, what nonsense. ”
Shen Tianli: "......"
Rainble withdrew the WeChat on the phone with one hand, looked directly at Shen Tianli, and said neatly: "I know what you talked about in Chaos just now. It is not appropriate for my brother to show up in person, so I am willing to do what Mr. Lu asked. The police department can't live without you. Xiao Yan will be with me at any time. ”
Shen Tian didn't have time to react to the logic of his words, he was stunned and stared at him for a long time: "Rainble, you...... No, I've just been away for a day, how did you completely change as a person? Are you Rainble? Or is it Brother Pony's resurrection of the corpse? ”
Before Rainble could draw a conclusion for herself, she saw that Qiao Yi had already stood on his feet, spread his hands, and pointed at Rainble and said to Shen Tianli in the posture of Jobs giving a speech on new products: "Officer Shen, look, this is the expected result of my treatment plan." Why my previous explanation is general, because human language is so scarce and powerless before a living, healed person stands before you. It is only when the person being treated excludes the unnecessary things about himself that the person's character can be fully revealed, that is, in fact, each of us has been in this world for a long time, gradually becoming unrecognized, wearing the label set up after wearing shackles, and even ourselves, sometimes not very well aware of ourselves......"
Shen Tianli propped his head with his hands, stroked his hair in distress and asked Rainble, "Can you understand?"
Rainble nodded, "Yes." Now I fully understand. ”
Qiao Yi interjected: "Na, so, I have always hoped that Officer Shen will directly accept this plan, sharpen the knife and not chop wood......"
Shen Tianli hadn't yet detached himself from this stunned, and Qiao Yi's voice had become a BGM-like ethereal voice in his head.
Rainble stretched out her hand to interrupt him and politely said, "Doctor Joe, in my personal subjectivity, you are my reborn parent. But since I've been through it all, I want you to hear from me. ”
In the face of this bold and calm determination, Qiao Yi did not have Shen Tianli's sense of surprise, but just smiled and nodded.
Rainble continued, "You're an expert in psychological research, and we can't afford to trespass. But our colleagues, we have known Director Shen for a longer time than you, and although we don't mention when and why he has obstacles to what, we know it very well in our hearts. ”
Qiao Yi nodded and smiled again, as if he had some agreement, and motioned for him to continue.
Rainble looked at Shen Tianli seriously, then turned his head and said, "Just like Doctor Qiao, you won't forcibly change human nature in your plan, we shouldn't deprive a person of their subjective initiative. This case is very different from the past, and Qiu Ling will definitely explain it to you in detail. If Director Shen can re-face the problems of the past on his own, no matter what the outcome is, it will be of great significance to him. He turned his head to look at Shen Tianli, "Brother, are you right?" ”
Shen Tianli looked at him with a mixture of suppressed and grateful eyes, still speechless.
Qiao Yi muttered, "...... There's some truth to what you say...... But ......"
Rainble smiled confidently, "Doctor Qiao, since you trust Qiu Ling, I hope you trust us too." ”
Qiao Yi paused and said with relief: "OK." ”
Shen Tianli tried his best to adapt himself to this benign change, and said, "Since you are awake, we will go back to the police station for a meeting, Xiao Yan and they are still waiting." ”
Rainble smiled: "No, no, no, it's good to call them out, the director's purse will slow down the speed of action if he doesn't lose weight......"
Qiao Yi looked at the backs of the two of them leaving happily and smiled with satisfaction.
Chaos Room 1101.
Qiu Ling's overly thin body slackened, as if it could blend in with the comfortable sofa bed.
But the worries and entanglements in her eyes are incompatible with this posture and this room.
Lu Ping'an spread the quilt for her, looking at the fierce battle in her eyes that seemed to be a heavy figure, maybe it was recalling the hatred and depression of the past, maybe it was facing the panic and spirit in front of her. He said for a long time: "In this world, in fact, nothing will be as serious as we imagined before we really start it. ”
Qiu Ling sighed lightly: "But in the same world, there is no such thing as empathy. ”
Lu Ping'an looked at her, and suddenly laughed so much that he couldn't take care of himself.
Qiu Ling slapped his head and smirked.
Yes, she almost forgot what kind of unimaginable life Lu Ping'an has faced day after day in the past few decades, facing her stubborn father, who occupies one of the world's first places in crime and influence.
Qiu Ling inexplicably revealed the ease of being known from the bottom of her heart, and she only felt heavy eyelids: "I just don't know what kind of mentality I should use to do things after tonight." ”
Lu Ping'an gently brushed away the forehead hair that could fall into her apricot eyes at any time, and the hair was scattered on the pure black and smooth pillow and hid.
He said indifferently: "The best mentality is no mentality." The sun sets, and then the sun rises. ”
Qiu Ling let out a breath of fresh air, closed his eyes reassuringly, and the encouragement of Lu Ping'an in his ears gradually became faint: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you...... As long as you follow the plan, when you get to the teahouse, there will be chaos people to join you...... You know, you don't need to deliberately connect...... The teahouse is not without flaws, and chaos ...... earlier"
Qiu Ling heard the voice in the dream, and his consciousness was gradually taken away by Zhou Gong.
Midnight. Barbecue stands.
The flow of people at the supper stalls is comparable to the subway station in the morning rush hour in Gaoping City.
The owner of the barbecue stall looked at Shen Tianli, who had not seen anyone for several years but suddenly appeared in a group, and was overjoyed. After dawn, he finally had the confidence to say to those damn peers, "Shen Tianli loves to come to me to patronize" This sentence is not bragging.
Although the boss didn't ask what was going on, whenever he was free from the busy work, he added some delicacies to Shen Tianli's table that he didn't want to sell.
He wouldn't know that because of Rainble's change, it would lead to a change in Shen Tianli's group of people; Or maybe it's because of Rainble's return, which brings back the joy and momentum of this group of people many years ago.
It's just that so many young men and women who came and went but couldn't help but look at Shen Tianli have become staring at Rainble for a long time tonight.
Fortunately, whether it is Shen Tianli or others, this excellent and open-minded small group has never cared about these things in his heart and will not compete.
After three rounds of drinking, Shen Tianli suddenly sank his face from the laughter.
Several people understood that Shen Tianli would have more personal worries before and after these strange events.
Finally, Xiao Yan opened his mouth first, and said straightforwardly: "Brother, in fact, I think your worries are very unnecessary. ”
Song Zizhao said: "It's not that we don't care about Qiu Ling, but compared to you, we are more objective. Qiu Ling can't be generalized to ignorant girls her age. Although the majority of post-00s are brain-dead......"
"What the fuck are you talking about! ......" With a curse from nowhere, an empty bottle flew straight towards their table, and Rainble preemptively pushed it away, narrowly avoiding casualties.
Looking back, a half-drunk young girl at a table not far away was glaring angrily.
"I'm sorry!" Song Zizhao hurriedly apologized, and several people turned around and stuck out their tongues.
Shen Tianli was still serious, he took out his mobile phone and gave it to Rainble: "Say this at both ends." For example, what do you think of this phone recording? You were there at the time. ”
Shen Tianli trusted Rainble, who "woke up".
Rainble distressed, "I'm confident, but I'm afraid you won't believe me. ”
Unexpectedly, Shen Tianli and the other two said in unison: "Letter! Now we believe everything you say! ”
The atmosphere was softened by the sound of tacit laughter.
Rainble said, "Okay, man, I'll mention that little bit then. When I 'woke up', I immediately remembered this clue. Based on the past information of Qiu Ling and Major Qi, I compared the appearance characteristics and voice characteristics of all the members of Chaos in the city. I came to the conclusion that the person who made this call was not Mr. Lu, or even He Yulin, nor was it the act of chaos in this city. ”
Shen Tianli took a breath, put down the wine glass, and said seriously: "Okay, it's not him who started it." Can you believe that a person raised by a high-level criminal can be as good as he seems on the surface? It's more likely to be blue. ”
Rainble looked at him, his eyes revealing wisdom and peace, but he still had the habitual trust in Shen Tianli: "Brother, do you remember the fifth case we worked together, after successfully helping the drug dealer's youngest daughter change her name and transfer to another school, did you tell me anything?" ”
Shen Tianli: "What did I say?" ”
"You taught me a law of kindness that I will remember for the rest of my life," Rainble said as they spoke, "and you were glad that his youngest daughter sent us a report card, saying that the most evil seeds often produce the purest flowers." ”
Shen Tianli sneered: "People are different. ”
Rainble laughed, "We can not trust Chu Ling, but we must respect her." ”
Shen Tianli drank all the beer at the bottom of the cup, sighed and said, "I have always respected her. Maybe it's my own problem, I always hope that someone can give her a normal home, make up for her crippled life, this person does not seek wealth and excellence, even if it is just an ordinary person, at least can bring her a normal life. ”
Rainble waited for him to finish and said solemnly in a solemn manner that she had never seen on his face before, "Brother, you emphasized the word 'normal' twice. But I want to know, in your mind, what is normal? ”
Shen Tianli was stunned.
Rainble said sincerely: "Everyone knows the affairs of the Shen family. It is a miracle that Qiu Ling survived and returned to us, and you were once proud of this sister of superior wisdom and ability, saying that it was a gift from God. But because of this, Qiu Ling's life is destined to be different from other girls. How can we measure Chu Ling by what most people call normal, and is it unfair? For Qiu Ling, what is normal? ”
Shen Tianli's brows furrowed tightly, as if he was pensive and slightly stunned, but he stretched out his hand to Rainble: "Go on." ”
Rainble put aside her scruples and said calmly, "Look at us again." From a secular point of view, which of us is normal? Xiao Yan couldn't pass the physical fitness test for a long time, Zizhao asked for leave for three days and two heads, and I was late for three days, so Fang Wei's group won't talk about it...... But whether it is Director Huang or you, you have seen our strengths in this so-called abnormal correspondence, which is the reason why we are staying in the police at this moment. Over the past few years, behind the cracking of these strange cases, how many citizens have confidence in the police in this city, and how many people will think that you and I are abnormal? ”
Shen Tianli had a calm face, was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised his head with a smile and raised his glass to Rainble:
"Yes. You are right. ”
