"The captain didn't elaborate, he said that Zhang Wei is sure that he is missing, you can leave this matter alone, get off work first, and let the colleagues on shift do other things."

Chen Zhou looked at Wu Li, a little hesitant in his heart, but he was afraid that showing too much concern would attract gossip, so he sighed and said, "Then I'll go." ”

It was midnight in a flash, Wu Li swallowed the dryness of her throat, she could hear her stomach rumbling, and there were several glasses of water in front of her, which were habitually poured for her by the police who came in from time to time to inquire before.

They asked her the same questions in the same way, and Wu Li remained silent the whole time.

Maybe in the eyes of others, Wu Li is a weirdo, I don't understand what she is insisting on, in fact, she is not stubborn about anything, she has said everything she should say! There was no concealment, but the answer was not to their liking, so they ignored what she had said.

Wu Li decided in her heart that no one would believe her words, as an unsociable girl, her past experience had warned her a long time ago, and told her fiercely not to have expectations for others, despair of society, despair of life made her give up struggling, as if to say, it will not be worse than now.

In this way, Wu Li hugged her arms, shrunk her shoulders, and tilted her head against her shoulders to survive the night.

The next day, Shen Zhijing drove Chen Zhou to work, habitually came in to say hello together, and by the way, he gave the fried dumplings he had made in the morning to the other policemen in the police station.

As soon as he saw Shen Zhijing carrying the thermal insulation bag, Zhou Kai, the policeman on duty, immediately stepped forward to take the thermal insulation bag with a smile on his face: "Brother Shen, you have a heart and take care of us every day." ”

Shen Zhijing laughed helplessly, he couldn't stand his flattery, "It's just a few fried dumplings, can you use such an exaggeration?" ”

Zhou Kai said again: "Brother Shen, this is not just about fried dumplings, you are so kind, handsome, and capable, the key is to go to the kitchen, so virtuous, I want to marry home!" ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhijing raised his eyebrows, "What about me?" ”

"How dare you! I mean it, if you're will-"

"I don't want to!" Shen Zhijing rolled his eyes and stopped him from continuing.

Seeing that he was a little angry, Zhou Kai accepted it when he saw it, and exposed the joke under the pretense of haha.

Chen Zhou's eyes found the small figure in the mediation room, and asked in surprise, "Why is she still there?" ”

"Not really! We asked several times, but she ignored people, just sat alone, and we had no choice. ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Zhou suddenly snatched the thermal insulation bag in his hand, walked quickly to the mediation room, he stopped at the door with some excited steps, raised his hand and knocked, and then went in, as if he was afraid that his sudden fright would scare her.

Chen Zhou looked at the water cup on the table, and felt even more sympathetic in his heart, "Good morning, I have some fried dumplings here, you can eat some first." ”

Wu Li opened her eyes dimly, her breathing was a little rough, it seemed that she hadn't slept all night, and her body was a little unwell.

Chen Zhou's chest was full of sadness, and he persuaded: "Why do you bother! Your own body is the most important, you tell me, Zhang Wei went to look for you that day, what happened. ”

Hearing this, the memory hit like a flood, Wu Li's eyes suddenly shook, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if she wanted to suppress the picture in her mind again, and didn't want to remember it anymore.

Seeing that she was still silent as before, Chen Zhou sighed heavily.

He walked out of the mediation room, Zhou Kai saw that his hands were empty, looked at the mediation room with complaining eyes, and the thermal insulation bag he had in mind rested quietly on the table.

Seeing the sorrow on Chen Zhou's face, Shen Zhijing had a bad premonition, isn't his appearance exactly the appearance of overflowing compassion?

As a senior forensic doctor, Shen Zhijing understands that in the face of anything, he must stand in a neutral attitude, and should not let emotions dominate his reason and make wrong decisions, while Chen Zhou is still young, he is full of a sense of justice, and it is easy to fall into a quagmire in the face of a vulnerable group like Wu Li.

Shen Zhijing shook his head worriedly and called, "Zhouzi, you come with me." ”

Chen Zhou came back to his senses, looked up at him a little confused, and followed him to the corner in response.

Looking around, Shen Zhijing lowered his voice and said, "What's the matter with you?" Have you forgotten your little brother's training for you? As a police officer, you can't get too involved in too much sympathy, which can affect your judgment. ”

Reason is such a reason, but emotions are often better than reason, just like Chen Zhou is now, ignoring Shen Zhijing's words, and in turn questioning him: "Brother, you also saw it, she is so pitiful, can you just ignore it?" ”

Shen Zhijing swallowed back indifferently, he has been a forensic doctor for 6 years, in comparison, the forensic doctor has seen more misery than the police, those forensic identifications, which family members are not crying to death, if they all sympathize, it is enough for him to be busy, the deceased is like this, and the grief is only remembrance, not to mention that most of the deceased who passed through his hands are not innocent, the wicked are dead, and the family members are suffering, but the people of the society are blessed.

There are two sides to many things, and although Wu Li's setting is that of a poor person, no one can know what the other side of the poor contains.

He sighed only that Chen Zhou was still young, and those who didn't understand were sinister and blinded by appearances.

Shen Zhijing is not as good as Allen, the star of the police force, and he has more pity for this little brother next door, and he doesn't know how to correct his concept, so he is even more ruthless.

He persuaded bitterly: "She is pitiful, but you have to do your duty and not cross the line between the police and the suspect, do you understand?" ”

How could the hot Chen Zhou listen to these truths, he retorted: "She is not a suspect now!" No case has been filed, so this case may not be related to her. ”

Hearing his rebuttal, Shen Zhijing raised his eyebrows, very surprised, but he couldn't bear to be tough on him, and continued to persuade: "It is related to the case, even if it is not prosecuted, it is called a suspect, if she is innocent, you should let her defend herself!" If you can't stand your ground, it's only her who will be harmed, do you understand? ”

As soon as he heard that his behavior would affect Wu Li, Chen Zhou's heart couldn't help but tighten, his emotions were suddenly controlled, and the regulations became clearer, what is the most terrible thing in this society, that is undoubtedly the hearts of the people.

His care for Wu Li will naturally arouse the suspicion of others, and once there is suspicion, even if Wu Li is innocent, it is impossible to say.

The key is evidence!

"I understand, brother, don't worry, I won't live up to your hard work, I will do my duty."

Shen Zhijing frowned, and asked uncertainly: "...... you?" Do you really understand? ”

"Hmm!"

Shen Zhijing sighed helplessly, he looked at his watch, "Then I'll go, don't worry about it." ”

As soon as he walked out of the police station, Shen Zhijing suddenly stopped, he raised his hand, and gently pushed the black-framed glasses on his face with his fingertips, his eyes flashed, and he was immersed in thoughts.

After just half a minute of thinking, he took out his mobile phone from his briefcase, and after pressing the phone, "Director, I have something I want to tell you." ”

After a short report, Shen Zhijing took another step, his straight posture, like an elite-like mental outlook, his pace was even, and the momentum of walking with the wind attracted the attention of passers-by.

Four hours later, in the police station where everything was going on as usual, Zhang Dalong, the police captain of the area, walked in with an anxious application on his face.

Zhou Kai, who was on duty, didn't react a little, and greeted him in a daze: "Hello captain." ”

"What about Zhang Jin?"

"I didn't get to work, I didn't see anyone."

"And the girl is still detained?"

"Who?" Zhou Kai didn't react for a while, but after that, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's still in the mediation room!" Captain, how to deal with it? ”

"Hurry up and let people go! I don't know which ear reported God that alarmed the director. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Kai glared in surprise, and a natural figure appeared in his mind.

When Zhang Dalong saw his reaction, he suddenly came to his senses, "Could it be that the one from the forensic center next door has come?" ”

Zhou Kai didn't know whether to hide it or not, so he scratched his head in embarrassment, "He is very good with Zhouzi, and he often comes to pick him up from work, can he not come?" ”

Zhang Dalong gritted his teeth angrily, and said a little angrily: "Hurry up and get the people away first." ”

He turned around and went back to the office with an angry face, leaving only Zhou Kai still confused, secretly thinking in his heart, don't you say that detaining people is a normal process? What are you doing so nervous?

Zhou Kai didn't dare to delay, came to the mediation room, unscrewed the door, and Wu Li, who was sitting in the position, still didn't look up at him, but moved slightly, about to wake up.

Although Zhou Kai couldn't understand her eccentricity, he also sympathized with her in his heart, a teenage girl, was taken back to the police station for no reason and locked up overnight, normal people will make trouble, they will feel unfair, she is good, she was locked in the house without a sound, and I don't know what she thinks.

"Miss Wu, you can go."

Wu Li finally raised her head, thinking that she was going to say something, but she didn't expect her to get up directly, walk past Zhou Kai's side with an expressionless face, and walk out of the mediation room.

She didn't say a word from the beginning, no one felt that her behavior was incomprehensible, and she didn't understand what she was fighting, even if she was angry, she should have an outlet to vent, Zhou Kai had also seen some people of all kinds, she showed indifference to everything, it was more like the eve of destruction, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and was afraid that she would do something earth-shattering in the next second.

Walking out of the police station, Wu Li did not go far, but came to a nearby store, intending to eat something first.

She came to a bakery and saw that it was full of customers and a few children making noise.

Wu Li suddenly stopped, it wasn't that she had any crowdphobia, she just didn't want to arouse attention, let alone communicate too much with others.

She looked at her trembling little hands, sighed helplessly, sat down on the bench in front of the bakery, closed her eyes lightly, raised her head slightly, let the sun shine, and relaxed a little.

Wu Li is a painless patient, her cold personality and indifference to things are largely due to her illness.

Sitting like this, as her body relaxed, she was in a daze after tossing all night, and she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Her sleep was only a brief hibernation of the relaxation of consciousness, like sometimes feeling like she had slept for a long time, only to wake up only to find that only a few minutes had passed.

There was a slight movement from her position, and her elbows were touched, and she opened her eyes in shock, her face puffed by the sun full of war.

Shen Zhijing held up the brown paper bag, shielded from the dazzling sun, and said, "You really have a big heart, and you dare to fall asleep in such a place." ”

"I didn't sleep!" Wu Li blurted out.

"If you haven't slept, it's not appropriate to stay for a few minutes, girl, this society is dangerous!" Whether it is from the tone or expression, I can't see Shen Zhijing's half of care, more like a lesson.

Wu Li didn't want to entangle with him anymore and was about to get up and leave.

Shen Zhijing didn't expect her reaction, and subconsciously reached out to grab her little hand.

Wu Li, who was stopped, was even more vigilant in his eyes, as if he had raised a sharp thorn in his body and glared at him in warning.

Touching her slightly cool little hand, Shen Zhijing reacted and immediately let go, saying, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you. ”

Wu Li didn't say anything more, and was about to get up and leave again.

At this time, Shen Zhijing did not pull her hand, but pulled her collar.

"What do you want to do?!" Wu Li asked loudly with tense emotions.

This......

Shen Zhijing looked at his evil hand and smiled awkwardly, "I made a mistake for a while, but you are also at fault, can you wait for others to finish speaking before leaving, I can also help you." "Although it is not subjective to help her, it is a fact that she has benefited, otherwise she might still be locked up now!

Wu Li glared at him, but she didn't want to leave with her sleeves up.

Shen Zhijing is not a boring person, being stared at by her like this, the confrontation between the two is in the eyes of outsiders, that is, a young man is talking to an underage girl, as if he has become a bad person all of a sudden.

The reason why he appeared here is because every day he will go home to cook a meal during the three-hour lunch break, and then come back to work, come out of the forensic center, and just see Wu Li's swaying figure walking on the street from a distance, driven by curiosity, he stopped, thinking about how tough this girl is, not eating the dumplings he made at the police station, and standing still when she comes to the bakery, is there no money?

So Shen Zhijing came to the bakery and stopped for a while, he watched Wu Li dozing off on the bench curiously, and he didn't know what drove him into the bakery, bought the bread he didn't need, and sat next to her abnormally, and finally became a villain.

After doing these abnormal behaviors, Shen Zhijing couldn't tell his intentions, he handed her the brown paper bag in his hand, and said, "Okay, it's all my fault, in order to express my apologies, please eat this." ”

Wu Li didn't take the brown paper bag, but still stared at him vigilantly, unable to understand his intentions.

Her vigilance made Shen Zhijing scratch his head in embarrassment, and the hand holding the brown paper bag suddenly loosened.

With a click, Wu Li looked at the paper package that fell on the ground in amazement.

Shen Zhijing walked past her indifferently, and said without looking back: "It's given to you, just throw it away if you don't want it, it's shameful to waste food." ”

Just a few seconds in a daze, Wu Li's panicked eyes turned to look for his figure, Shen Zhijing had already walked across the road, which made Wu Li want to return it without direction.

This sudden behavior made Wu Li feel speechless, she bit her lip, squatted down, looked at the brown paper bag in front of her, frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Who the hell is wasting food!" ”

Dragging her heavy body, Wu Li finally returned home with a brown paper bag in her arms.

Although she was tired, Wu Li still didn't relax too much, standing at the entrance and looking at the brown paper bag for a while, and finally moved her steps.

I saw her take a few steps in the direction of the living room, suddenly paused, and the next second turned around, came to the dining table in front of the shrine and sat down, sighing at the brown paper bag.

She opened the brown paper bag and saw that the cakes inside were full, Wu Li's hand froze, what is this? Is it too much money to buy so much?

Wu Li bit her lip, took out a piece of bread, and when she took a bite, tears slipped silently.

The encounters in these days made her desperate, so Shen Zhijing's mysterious act gave her a glimmer of hope.

As a painless patient, Wu Li has other abilities that are different from ordinary people, such as hearing, everything that happens at the police station, even if she doesn't see it, she can clearly hear the conversations happening around her, even if she is locked up in the house.

Shen Zhijing said that he had helped himself just now, so he should be the ear report god who alarmed the director in Zhang Dalong's mouth just now.

He also advised other police officers to be sensible before, so what's the matter with him?

Although there are many doubts about Shen Zhijing's behavior in her heart, what Wu Li needs at this moment is only a little bit of care, even if this care is her own imagination, it is enough for her to be moved.

The backlog of grievances couldn't be contained at once, she gulped down the bread in her hand, and finished the bread in two or three clicks, her cheeks bulged, her eyes were full of tears, she looked at the black and white photos on the altar with tears in her eyes, and said inarticulately: "Mom and Dad, I seem to have met a good person." ”

After crying a lot and venting her pent-up emotions, Wu Li fell asleep on the dining table.

The sunlight shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, like the hands of time, moves slowly until the last wisp of dusk disappears.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong!

The rapid ringing of the doorbell woke Wu Li from her sleep.

"Big brother, pry the door open, that girl should run away when she hears the movement."
