"White One! White One! You say something, don't scare Uncle Zhou. ”

Who? Who's calling her, Uncle Zhou? Who is Uncle Zhou, and what about Mom and Dad? Oh, and they're still there waiting for her to blow out the birthday candles and make a wish.

Her hands and feet were cold and numb, and she could only crawl out of the closet on instinct.

Despite this, she was staring at the sofa outside, her parents were still waiting for her to eat her birthday cake, how could she hide?

"Mom... Mom, Mom..."Bai Yi shouted to his mother with difficulty, but he couldn't make any sound with his mouth open.

"Don't do that, you... You have to cheer up, you still have the only one, you still have the only one! ”

"Uncle Zhou?" Bai Yi seemed to come back to his senses, his eyes were red, and he looked at him, and the corner of his mouth pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Are you also here to celebrate my birthday?" ”

"White One!"

Zhou Zhen lifted her from the ground and hugged her into his arms.

He clenched his teeth, with an angry face, and gently patted Bai Yi's back with the same trembling hand, and said in a dumb voice: "Bai Yi, cry out, Uncle Zhou is here." Cry out, cry out and you'll be fine. ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about? Why should I cry, Uncle Zhou, let go of me, I'm going to find them. ”

Bai Yi pushed Zhou Zhen, but found that he had no strength in his body.

She hung her hand weakly and leaned on Zhou Zhen's arms.

The daisy curtain was blown in the dark rainy night, whirring.

Bai Yi blinked her sour eyes, and when a dazzling light swept through the air again to illuminate the entire room, her pupils shook, and in an instant all the frozen consciousness returned to its original position, the pain was like a tide, and she was heartbroken, she knelt on the ground, covered her face with her hands and wailed in despair, and finally her eyes turned black and unconscious.

What is the world and what is hell?

All she knew was that from now on, her world would be filled with endless pain and suffering.

Three years later.

As soon as Zhou Zhen came out of the police station, he saw Bai Yi at the door, a simple white dress fluttering on her slender body, and the eyes that were always pale on a palm-sized face were even darker but also empty.

Zhou Zhen walked towards her with a low sigh, "Yiyi, you are too thin, I feel that you are about to be blown away as soon as the wind blows." ”

Bai Yi pulled the corners of his mouth in response to him, "Is there any progress today?" ”

Three full years have passed since the "July 16 Case," and four of the six people who were arrested that year were arrested.

It's not that they are unfavorable or negligent, it's just that there are too many forces involved here, including the Longxing Group, which is a powerful force in City A.

In such a bad incident, they only brought out four people to be scapegoats, which was not the result she wanted.

Now she lives for only one purpose, and that is to watch them die one by one.

Zhou Zhen patted Bai Yi's head to bring her back to her senses, and pulled her towards the parking lot, "Let's go back first, let's go back." ”

"Master!"

As they were about to get into the car, a voice came from the door of the police station.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhen replied and looked at the visitor.

"Private matters, private matters." Lu Jing coughed dryly to ease his emotions, "My dad called you to eat today." ”

"Marine? Is he okay today? ”

"It's okay! He said that you were okay today, and asked you to catch up on the old days. ”

Zhou Zhen snorted lightly, "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink. ”

Lu Jing laughed dryly, opened the back door and sat in, "I'll rub your car today." ”

"Uncle Zhou, then I'll go back first." Bai Yi closed the door that had just been opened.

Lu Jing hurriedly got out of the car and stammered a little: "Let's go together, my dad said... She hasn't been in a long time... I don't see you..."

Bai Yi ignored him and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Lu Jing hurriedly handed Zhou Zhen a look for help.

Stinky boy, Zhou Zhen scolded in his heart.

"Let's go, Bai Yi, Uncle Lu, you've also seen it, it's not an outsider."

Bai Yi hesitated and nodded and opened the door and got into the car, Lu Jing's face was happy, and he was startled by the car key that suddenly smashed over before it lasted a few seconds.

"Drive." Zhou Zhen angrily bypassed him and walked to the co-pilot.

Lu Jing was transferred from the sub-bureau by the director of the bureau the year before last, and he also followed him to solve several cases, large and small, he looked outstanding and honest, to be honest, Zhou Zhen was still quite optimistic about him, but he didn't know Bai Yi's thoughts. He has always treated Bai Yigan's daughter, but now that Lao Bai has such a thing happening again, they have no relatives, so he naturally has to take on this responsibility.

About forty minutes later, the car drove into an upscale community, Lu Jing parked the car, pointed to a building, and said, "It's here, Master." ”

Zhou Zhen snorted and walked in with Bai Yi.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw that Lu Chengjian had already prepared wine and food waiting for them.

"How come the Lu team has time to invite me to drink, don't you have a tricky case in Shicheng District, why is it almost done?"

"It's just a love murder case, what's so tricky." Lu Chengjian waved his hand absently and motioned for them to sit down, "Sit down quickly, Bai Yi, your aunt makes what you like to eat." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu."

"What's polite to us, Xiaojing quickly greeted and sat down one by one, I still have a soup here right away." Mother Lu poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at Bai Yi with a smile on her face.

She had experienced such a warm scene many years ago, but now it was so unfamiliar, and the strangeness made Bai Yi's chest twitch for a while.

Lu Jing was the first to discover that something was wrong with Bai Yi.

"What's wrong with you?"

Bai Yi shook his head, "It's okay." ”

"You don't look good, drink some water first." Lu Jing casually poured a cup of freshly boiled water and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Bai Yi took the water handed by Lu Jing and held it in the palm of his hand, the temperature of the water was very high, which was exactly what she wanted, only the physical pain could make her feel better.

Within a few minutes, Bai Yi was suddenly pulled up by Zhou Zhen and pulled her towards the bathroom, and the action was so big that Lu Chengjian, who was talking to him, was startled, "Old Zhou, what's wrong?!" ”

"It's okay, you eat first."

There was a "bang" and the bathroom door was shut.

Bai Yi looked at Zhou Zhen, who was faintly angry on his face, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhou." ”

Zhou Zhen ignored her, opened her palm, and put the palm that was already red under the unscrewed cold water.

"Why apologize to me." Zhou Zhen said expressionlessly.

What Bai Yi is most afraid of is that Zhou Zhen is so light and light, when she locked herself in the house and cut herself one by one, Zhou Zhen said lightly that you are sick, and sent her to a mental hospital for half a year, where people are staring at you all the time, as long as a large group of nurses and doctors come in and press you to the bed to feed the medicine...

The cold water slowly dissipated the stinging pain in his palm, and also made Bai Yi gradually sober up, "Zhou... Uncle Zhou, I... I don't dare anymore. ”

"Bai Yi, I warned you, if there is a next time, don't think about it, I think you still feel comfortable staying there."

"Uncle Zhou, don't send me in, I won't dare in the future, I'll listen to everything you say, don't send me in!" Bai Yi shook his head frantically, trying to break free from Zhou Zhen's arm.

When Zhou Zhen dragged her hand under the water again, Lu Jing's anxious voice came from outside the door:

"Master, one by one, I'm sorry... I... I forgot that the water had just boiled, and I thought... I thought..."

When he raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, the door was slammed open, and Zhou Zhen walked out with a blue face.

Lu Jing's face was a little pale, he didn't look at Zhou Zhen, and walked quickly to Bai Yi, who was lying on the sink, and helped her up.

"Are you okay, I'll take you to the hospital."

"It's fine." Bai wiped the water on his hand, glanced at Lu Jing, who was whiter than hers, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "I'm really fine, don't blame yourself." ”

Bai Yi came out of the bathroom and saw Lu's father and mother who were at a loss in the living room, and bent down apologetically, "I'm sorry uncle and aunt, it's... It's because I remembered some previous things that made me impulsive, it was I who was reckless and ruined today's gathering between Uncle Lu and Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry..."

"Silly boy, don't say that, what a stupid boy." Mother Lu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, pulled Bai Yi over and sat on the chair, "Taste it, the soup made by Auntie, if it suits your appetite, you will often come to drink it in the future." ”

"Hey, white girl, this time I called Lao Zhou to come with you for your father's case, I didn't want to say in front of you that I was afraid that you would be sad to remember the past."

"Uncle Lu doesn't matter, you can say it."

"The suspect in the case in Shicheng District this time is bald, and we have already locked the target and arrested it tomorrow!" Lu Chengjian paused and glanced at Zhou Zhen, and finally swallowed back the words in his stomach, "One by one, everyone can't forget your affairs." ”

Zhou Zhen Tieqing's face finally softened, "The evidence is conclusive? ”

"The evidence is overwhelming."
