Gao Zhengnan closed the notebook and walked out of the conference room sideways, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, it turned out to be Zhou Haiming calling.

"What are you doing?"

"I am accompanying Director Liao in a meeting. ”

"Is it convenient to speak?" Zhou Haiming's voice was noisy and chaotic.

"I just came out to breathe, it's okay. Where are you? so noisy!"

"I was at the train station. Zhou Haiming said: "I just got off the bus outside, and I have to tell you something after thinking about it." Zhou Haiming's side was full of shouts: "In the 12 serial assaults, a person in charge of Xu Bo's detention provided a detail, saying that Xu Bo never admitted that he had committed a crime during his detention, but one night after Xu Bo was tried, he said: 'Instead of being so painful, I should do it!'"

"What do you mean by that!" Gao Zhengnan asked.

"The detainee didn't say it directly, but I think something must have happened to Xu Bo during his trial! Otherwise, he would not be afraid of death alone, but he would feel painful about being tried. Zhou Haiming's voice entered a state of reverberation, and it could be heard that he had already left the train station.

"Another important thing is that the loss of DNA identification evidence in Xu Bo's case happened in Tu County. ”

Gao Zhengnan asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"There is no final confirmation, but the detainee said that after Xu Bo's death, his parents wrote letters to retract the case for their son, and when someone wanted to access Xu Bo's case file, they discovered the disappearance of forensic evidence. ”

"Hasn't anyone checked it?"

"I guess no one really checked it at that time. Suddenly heard on the other end of the phone, Zhou Haiming's words changed: "Lao Zhu, it's decided, I will definitely invite you to drink next time, okay, I'll hang up first." ”

Gao Zhengnan understood that someone must have approached Zhou Haiming, and he held the mobile phone in his hand for a long time without moving his footsteps. Someone walked out of the conference room one after another, and he knew that the meeting was over, and hurriedly walked to the door.

Director Liao saw him and patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Gao!"

The people who passed by around were all envious, and it was such an honor to be praised by Director Liao. Gao Zhengnan was very cooperative, polite, and humble.

The two of them walked in front of the crowd one after the other, Xiao Liu's car had stopped in front of the building, and as soon as they got into the car, Xiao Liu reminded softly: "Madame just called, saying that the hospital still needs to perform surgery." ”

Director Liao waved his hand: "Go!"

The car drove in the direction of the highway entrance.

Because of Xiao Liu's presence, Director Liao hardly talked about yesterday's events, just closed his eyes and recuperated. Gao Zhengnan naturally wouldn't bother him. When he was about to get off the highway, Xiao Liu's mobile phone rang, he glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and answered: "Well, we are about to get off the highway, and there are still twenty minutes to arrive." ”

Director Liao said in the back, "Is it Madame?"

Xiao Liu tilted his head slightly and replied, "Yes." He handed the phone to the back with his right hand.

Director Liao rubbed his temples with one hand, took the phone with the other and said, "How is the situation now?"

Zhao Qizhu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "What else, the high fever has not gone away, and I can only have surgery." ”

"Then let's do it!" Director Liao's tone was a little impatient.

Zhao Qizhu, a husband and wife for many years, already understood the meaning of his words: "Hmph! You readily agree to the operation." ”

"Isn't there no other way now?"

"You put a little pressure on Lao Zhang, and invite a few more experts to consult, isn't this the way?" Zhao Qizhu's voice was very sharp, as if he was going to pierce Director Liao's eardrums, and he took his mobile phone away.

"Lao Zhang, he will definitely do his best, you don't have to doubt that. Hasn't he been working hard all these years?" Director Liao's tone softened, but this could no longer suppress Zhao Qizhu's anger, but instead caused her to have an even bigger earthquake.

"Don't you just dislike him for dragging you down for 20 years?" Although the mobile phone is not an external amplification, the small and enclosed space in the car has long been like a public speech. "If he hadn't been there to bring you food, would he have fallen from the third floor?"

Gao Zhengnan was slightly stunned, this was the first time he knew that Zhao Qiyuan's illness had come from this way.

Xiao Liu probably drove the car very calmly, looking ahead, expressionless, it seemed that he had long been accustomed to such conversations.

Gao Zhengnan didn't show too much, but he wondered why Zhao Qiyuan fell from the third floor from delivering food?

Director Liao showed that he did not expect his wife to mention this matter again at this time, and in such a semi-public situation, the anger in his heart could not help but emerge, whenever there was a disagreement between them for 20 years, his wife always gagged him with this sentence, and he always felt guilty in his heart. But last night's incident in the file bag in the study couldn't help but make him suspicious. He was not unaware of the disappearance of DNA identification evidence. It's just that he didn't suspect this at the time, and he always had a copy of the key to keep. He doubted everyone, but never thought about the people around him.

His head hurt even more, and he simply threw his phone on his seat, letting Zhao Qizhu's voice jump inside, and ignored it.

In the hospital, Director Zhang put the surgical plan in front of Liao Zhijie and Zhao Qizhu, and introduced the contents in detail. Gao Zhengnan stood outside the door and waited, Xiao Liu did not go upstairs, he said that he wanted to smoke a cigarette, so he went to the surrounding greenway to stretch his arms.

The operation was scheduled for half past two in the afternoon, and an expert was rushing here, Director Liao accompanied his wife in front of Zhao Qiyuan's bed, and Gao Zhengnan sat on a bench at the door, watching the clock not far away spin in circles.

Suddenly, his ears heard Zhao Qizhu's voice in the ward: "Is this expert okay? ”

Liao Zhijie's voice was very determined: "This matter is so decided." ”

"What kind of attitude do you have?!" Zhao Qizhu's voice was small, but with a coercive tone.

"Have you ever deserved my key?" Liao Zhijie suddenly asked.

Gao Zhengnan listened carefully, but he couldn't detect Zhao Qizhu's actions, he smiled a little guiltily, he actually overheard the private chats of other people's husbands and wives. After thinking about it, Zhao Qiyuan could also hear it? This is not a private topic, right? Although it is a bit forced, at most it can only be regarded as an internal topic within the family! He sneered, and a little nurse passing by looked at him sitting alone on a chair and smirked, and couldn't help but secretly cover her mouth and leave.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Qizhu's voice finally came to her ears again, the door of the ward was closed, and her expression could not be seen, but there was a trace of trembling and struggle in her voice.

"How many times have you matched my key, and did you also match it once twenty years ago?" Liao Zhijie's voice sounded a little cold, like a stranger's question, more like his professional question.

"Are you interrogating me? Do you doubt me?" Zhao Qizhu's voice didn't need Gao Zhengnan to listen carefully, and the little nurses passing by all heard it and stopped to look here.

Gao Zhengnan was a little embarrassed, as if he had broken through the dilemma of other people's husband and wife's private life.

"Whether you've done it or not, you know very well. Liao Zhijie's voice suppressed irresistible indifference: "We are husband and wife, and what you do will become our common result." ”
