Chapter 451: The Invisible (1)
The inpatient department of Yaocheng Central Hospital has patients admitted and discharged every day. Some patients have undergone major surgery and have a wide range of friends, and when they are hospitalized, there is an endless stream of relatives and friends who come to visit, and when they are discharged, they are inevitably surrounded by laughter and laughter, and they leave with those crowds of people; Some patients are only hospitalized for two or three days, do a check-up or prescribe a small knife, there are many people who come and go alone, and there are more accompanied by one or two close relatives, which is not so lively, but it is not deserted. Another department such as obstetrics naturally carries the attributes of joy and liveliness, and sadness is the minority. There are also patients who are shrouded in gloom and misery, accompanied by crying. They were pushed away on stretcher beds or wheelchairs, and the hospital gave them a suspended death sentence when they could see if they had passed away or were still alive.
The nature of the hospital's death reprievement and the court's decision are very different, and the fate of receiving the two sentences is also very different, if not the opposite.
Fang Xiaotian did not receive the verdict from the hospital, nor did she get Xie Xuanrong's death sentence from Captain Huang, who came to pick her up.
Captain Huang and the others still haven't found the whereabouts of Xie Xuanrong, Li Ang, and Wang Jia.
Fang Xiaotian knew that they couldn't find it.
She and Lu Yu were rescued at that time, it must have been because of what Lu Yu did. No matter what Lu Yu did, "Xie Xuanrong" whether they were dead or not, it was impossible for them to use those three identities to act again.
Fang Xiaotian hoped they were dead.
At least then, Lu Yu's death, Xie Xuanrong's death, and the death of their five families can all be concluded, and she doesn't have to hate.
She didn't have the strength to hate for a while.
Suddenly, she lost her friends and family, and she was alone.
Her whole mind was used to adjusting to this reality.
Maybe someone can use hatred as a motivation after experiencing this kind of thing, but she can't do it.
She couldn't hate a few strangers who had the faces of her lover, her friends, and the faces she hadn't even seen.
"Miss Fang's next step is to prepare ......," Captain Huang asked.
Fang Xiaotian looked at his few luggage. It was a plastic bag containing her toiletries and daily necessities since she was hospitalized, as well as a few changes of clothes.
This is also something that the doctors and nurses of the central hospital and the police officers who have protected her during this time have helped to buy.
"I ...... It should leave Yaocheng. Fang Xiaotian said.
There was some hesitation at the beginning of this sentence, and when it came to the last word, she was already firm.
"Can you please accompany me home once? I want to pack a little stuff. Fang Xiaotian asked Captain Huang.
She was penniless, and the medical expenses during this period were all handled by Captain Huang and them. It is said that part of it was reimbursed by medical insurance, and the central hospital gave a certain reduction or exemption, and the rest was what kind of aid fund the government had, and she did not have to bear it.
There is no need to worry about the medical expenses, but she will be discharged from the hospital and return to normal life, and she will always need money.
If he could, Fang Xiaotian didn't want to go home.
She can imagine what her home looks like now.
She didn't want to face it, but the reality forced her to face it.
Captain Huang agreed.
"Where are you going after you leave Yaocheng? It's best to leave us a contact form. Whatever you need, we are trying to help you as much as possible. Captain Huang helped Fang Xiaotian carry her simple plastic bag.
"I don't know." Fang Xiaotian lowered his head, "When you get to the station, see where the nearest ticket goes, just go there." ”
Captain Huang paused.
Several policemen around looked at each other and stopped talking.
They sympathized with Fang Xiaotian, but they didn't know how to comfort her.
After Fang Xiaotian's body recovered somewhat, Dr. Wang from the police station and the director of the psychiatric department of the Central Hospital helped her with psychotherapy.
Dr. Wang said to Captain Huang with a confused expression: "She is not like the other victims. Maybe it's because she learned the bad news and experienced some hurt, but she didn't see that...... It's not the same as a direct witness. ”
Fang Xiaotian did not see the tragic death of his family with his own eyes.
If you talk about the crime scene, the parents of the five of them are even more bloody and murderous. "Xie Xuanrong" and the three of them were in a hurry to kill people at that time, not patronizing the destruction of corpses and destroying traces, dealing with the crime scene, and the methods of committing the crime were also simple and rude, and they all used brute force to kill several old people without any plan. Compared with the experiences of Fang Xiaotian and Lu Yu, it is only urgent and dangerous, not cruel.
In order to prevent Fang Xiaotian's spirit from being stimulated again, Dr. Wang suggested that the police come forward and help clean up Fang Xiaotian's home to prevent her from seeing the bloodstained scene of the murder.
The diagnosis from the psychiatric director of the central hospital was a bit vague. He seemed to be a little absent-minded, and this trip was to assist Dr. Wang, and he completely affirmed Dr. Wang's diagnosis, without any personal thoughts.
Captain Huang complained a little about this, but after learning about what happened in the central hospital during this time, he gave up.
For the psychiatric department of the central hospital, the pathological anatomy of retired colleague Xu Haijun is the focus of current research - although their progress is slow, and Xu Hong, who was injured by Xu Haijun, has been discharged, they still have not found out why. Fortunately, among the many doctors who came to mourn that day, none of them were the first to discover the cause of Xu Haijun's illness. They are not bad performers, making the central hospital embarrassed in front of their peers.
Captain Huang consulted Dr. Wang, cleaned up Fang Xiaotian's home, personally inspected her, and personally came to pick up Fang Xiaotian from the hospital today, expressing his importance, and also representing the importance of the police and the government to the case and her as a victim.
He was very sympathetic to Fang Xiaotian and remorseful to himself. The impasse in the case is likely to turn into an old case that cannot be solved, just like other old cases that have been sealed in the archives. Only after decades of technological advancement and new investigative methods can the murderer be brought to justice; Perhaps, decades have passed, and when Fang Xiaotian is dying, he has not seen the light of day.
When Fang Xiaotian passed through the corridor, he saw Lin Youde.
She still remembered Lin Youde, and nodded at Lin Youde, "Before, that day, thank you." ”
She didn't know the details of that day, but she remembered the warmth she felt from the strange cop. It was the other party's call that gave her a glimmer of life.
She has indeed become a lonely person, but there are still people who care about her life and death.
Lin Youde was stunned and nodded, but he didn't speak.
Captain Huang glanced at Lin Youde and Officer Qian beside Lin Youde, and behind him, Lin Youde's squad leader and Master Lao Wu had their own expressions.
Lin Youde lowered his head, and immediately raised it again, standing up straight.
When the group walked by, Officer Qian patted Lin Youde and motioned for him to follow.
Two men walked at the end of the line.
Captain Huang drove his own car. After asking Fang Xiaotian to get into the car, he looked back at his subordinates, and his eyes fell on Officer Qian.
Officer Qian tugged at the corners of his mouth, patted Lin Youde again, and in Lin Youde's puzzled gaze, he stepped forward and got into the passenger seat of the car.
Lin Youde watched the car go away in a daze.
The team leader walked to Lin Youde's side, "Okay, you kid write a review and hand it over to me tomorrow." Next time you make a mess like this, you see how I clean you up. ”
Lin Youde still can't get back to his senses.
The squad leader is gone.
Other colleagues also dispersed, some returned to the bureau to continue work, and some went home to rest.
In the end, Lin Youde and Lao Wu were left in the hospital parking lot.
Lao Wu sighed, "You still have to take over my class." When you enter a newcomer next year, you have to be a master, you are like this...... Fight a little, young man. ”
Lin Youde was excited, "Can I go back to the game?" ”
"Of course. Dr. Wang said it was nothing. You've been put to the test. In the future, don't be so casual, just look like this when you're scared, how can you still be a policeman? I think it's because I'm too lenient with you in my usual days, so I'll have to be stricter in the future. Lao Wu straightened his face.
Lin Youde scratched his head, caught a glimpse of the emergency hall of the central hospital, and his movements were slight.
There was no figure in the emergency hall in a blood-stained white coat.
In fact, after that day, Lin Youde didn't see anything strange again.
Everything was like a nightmare, and with a few lives, and the black and white impermanence of departure, it was all over.
Lin Youde didn't see anything anymore, and after hearing Officer Qian, he didn't feel abnormal anymore these days.
They seem to have turned back into ordinary people.
"It's for the best. Let no one see them. Officer Qian said to him in a calm tone, and made a conclusion, "We have nothing to do with each other, and we should never intersect again." ”
Without intersection, it is naturally impossible for evil spirits to kill.
Lin Youde understood what Officer Qian meant.
That's what he thinks too.
He is a policeman, fighting crime, arresting criminals, managing the affairs of the living, and protecting the living.
If there are ghosts in this world, he can't do anything.
That's better than no ghosts.
When Yu Xingxing tells stories, he doesn't expect that there are really ghosts in the world.
If there were no ghosts, he and his nephew would not have died.
Fang Xiaotian will not encounter such a catastrophe.
Lin Youde's heart sank.
He had to admit that Fang Xiaotian's silence for some reason was the most correct thing to do.
If they don't tell those stories, don't let the things hidden in the shadows have a chance to be discovered, and they will always be able to shrink into the dark, unable to touch them in the sun.
Although this practice will leave the victims buried in the shadows forever......
Lin Youde was a little entangled, but after seeing Fang Xiaotian today, he was suddenly relieved.
It is more important to be alive than to be deceased.
As the only survivor, Fang Xiaotian should stay away from the darkness and continue to live.
This is true for all people.
He thought that Officer Qian was really more experienced and experienced than him, and when he was still struggling, Officer Qian made a decisive choice and helped him deal with Dr. Wang together. If it weren't for that, he might not have been called to send Fang Xiaotian together today, and he wouldn't have had a chance to figure out these things.
"Okay, let's go back. You have to write a good review. Lao Wu said.
Lin Youde regained his strengths and kept up with Lao Wu's footsteps.
※※※※※
Fan Wei is an extremely ordinary member of the population of more than 4 million people in Yaocheng, born in Yaocheng peacefully, grew up peacefully, there are no magical encounters, and there are not many ups and downs. He married a wife and had children on the spot, and his wife Zhu Tongyu was also an ordinary person in Yaocheng like him.
They are also like many Yaocheng people, with the troubles and entanglements of ordinary people.
One is to buy a house.
The new house that Fan Wei bought when he got married, the down payment was made by his father Fan Zonglong, and the decoration was made by Zhu Tongyu's parents.
The second is children.
The two had a child in the second year of marriage, and they were still twins. Zhu Tongyu had difficulty giving birth, among the two children, the younger sister was not very well developed, and she was sent to the nursery box just after birth, and the two of them could only watch the child through the glass for a while. Although she recovered and was discharged from the hospital after that, her sister has been thin and weak. Unlike her eldest daughter, who was strong, she was weak and often sick. The two sisters are like outsiders who are different in age and don't know, and they will not treat the two sisters as twins anyway.
In the end, the two children did not suffer from the catastrophe, just like their parents, who went from elementary school to junior high school ordinarily.
Fan Wei is still an ordinary person.
No one knew, not even himself, that there were three more uninvited guests in his house these days.
Perhaps, it should be said that it was two uninvited guests.
Uncle Li and Song Yingying, who are not related to Fan Wei's family, are uninvited, and they are standard uninvited guests.
Not necessarily.
He came all the way from the Golden Year Nursing Home to come here, and there was always a reason.
Before Fan Wei came home from work that day, Uncle Li compared the photos in his bedroom with the ghosts.
Only the eyes are more similar, and the other facial features are not similar.
Looking at the life of Fan Wei's family these days, Uncle Li is uncertain again.
The ghost stood sculpturally and did nothing.
Fan Wei's family went in and out of the living room, passing in front of and behind him, or directly passing through him, and he didn't react.
"Isn't it family?" Uncle Li and Song Yingying discussed.
"It doesn't look like it. It doesn't look that much alike. Song Yingying touched her chin and posed in a classic detective reasoning move.
Uncle Li looked around, "This house seems to have been newly renovated." Is the house sold? The family is new to moving in? ”
If this is the case, then the ghost's motionless behavior in the middle of the house seems to have an explanation.
Song Yingying shook her head, "I followed him to see it yesterday." ”
The "he" in her mouth is Fan Wei.
This kind of thing can only be done by Song Yingying, and Uncle Li is embarrassed to rely on the identity of a ghost like this.
The neighbor greeted him. He's not new to moving in. Song Yingying snapped her fingers, "Maybe it's the old king next door." ”
Uncle Li doesn't understand this stalk.
"We don't know what his last name is. When I went to talk to him, he didn't respond. Uncle Li looked at the ghost, "I don't know if Xiao Li can find out ......."
Song Yingying coughed dryly and explained the meaning of this stalk.
Uncle Li coughed violently as if he was choking.
"That's right...... It's unlikely. Uncle Li squeezed out two sentences.
"Otherwise, it's just an ordinary father and son. It's not surprising that you can send your own father to that kind of nursing home, right? Song Yingying was tired of posing, and sat down on the sofa again, as leisurely as in her own home.
Uncle Li stretched the corners of his mouth and didn't answer.
Fan Wei's family of four, when the parents are ordinary, the two daughters are also ordinary, sometimes there are small disputes, quarrels, sometimes laughter, and happiness.
If you want to talk about big things, the husband and wife will discuss the expenses of this month, habitually complain about the mortgage, or discuss the academic performance of the two daughters, worrying that when they take the high school entrance examination, the tone of the two will be more solemn.
It can be seen that the family relationship between them is not false.
The family hasn't mentioned anything about the elderly these days.
This is also an ordinary daily life of ordinary people.
Even if you are filial to your children, there is no reason to talk about your parents all day long. If you live close, you can go to see it at two ends in three days, and if you live farther, you can go to see it for a week and a half months, which is already good. After all, they all have their own small families, and if they want to work and live, it is understandable if they don't live together.
Just look at the full class schedules of Fan Wei's two daughters on Saturdays and Sundays, and you should be able to understand his approach.
A family always revolves around the children, but it is impossible to revolve around the elderly.
However, the more this is the case, the more strange Uncle Li's mood becomes.
The most unfilial child he has ever seen in his life is Jiang Longchang's youngest son who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and smokes. is such a bastard, he will cheat money from Jiang Longchang, but he never thought of sending Jiang Longchang to a place like the Golden Year Nursing Home to wait for death. Realistically speaking, that bastard didn't care much about Jiang Longchang, probably just hoping that Jiang Longchang would live a long life and be able to keep his pension for his expenses. But in the end, I don't want my own father to die.
Death is always something special.
Uncle Li, as a dead man, was deeply touched by this.
He stared at the ghost in the middle of the room.
If Fan Wei was really the son of this ghost, or Zhu Tongyu was his daughter, Uncle Li couldn't imagine the other party's mood at this time.
Uncle Li and Song Yingying are two uninvited guests, and the ghost is more like an ornament that is incompatible with this family, and I don't know why it stands there abruptly, casting a shadow on the harmonious family.
This shadow is invisible to Fan Wei's family.
When Fan Wei received the call, the shadow exploded instantly, filling the entire room.
"W-what? Ahh......h
Zhu Tongyu, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with him, looked over strangely.
The two daughters were doing their homework in the bedroom and didn't hear anything in the living room.
"Oh, ah, oh...... Uh, no, no. My dad, my dad is quite normal...... Well. Ah, that's it...... Oh. Good. Tomorrow, right? Tomorrow there is something at home. Ay? Yes...... I know. Okay, okay. Fan Wei ended the call very embarrassedly, holding the phone in his hand and not putting it down.
"What's wrong? Whose phone number? Zhu Tongyu asked.
"The street did it." Fan Wei collapsed on the sofa like a leaky ball.
His appearance is not as comfortable as Song Yingying's paralyzed sitting.
"Street office? What happened to Dad? It can't be sick, right? Zhu Tongyu became anxious, "Why didn't my mother call us?" ”
Fan Wei glanced at Zhu Tongyu, "It's not your father." ”
Zhu Tongyu was stunned.
"It's my dad." Fan Wei said.
The ghost, which had always been like a sculpture, moved at this time.
He looked down at Fan Wei, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Uncle Li's heart was raised, as if the audience watching a suspense drama saw the climax of the plot.
Song Yingying is more like an audience than him, she has unconsciously opened her mouth, her face is engaged, and there is still a trace of excitement in her eyes.
"Didn't your dad die sooner?" Zhu Tongyu relaxed and frowned, "What are you going to do with the street office?" Her eyes lit up, "Is there any subsidy?" I've heard that the cemetery is subsidized, right? ”
Fan Wei said angrily: "We didn't buy a cemetery, what kind of subsidy do we have?" It was that nursing home that was seized. ”
Zhu Tongyu was stunned, and then, like Fan Wei, he showed a little panic, "Sealed?" What do you mean? Should it not, should it not ......"
Fan Wei threw his phone aside irritably, "The street office will come to the house tomorrow to understand the situation." ”
Zhu Tongyu opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.
"You take the two little ones to class tomorrow, and I'll wait for them at home." Fan Wei made a decision.
"Husband, I won't ......" Zhu Tongyu was uneasy.
"Afraid of what?" Although Fan Wei said this, he lacked confidence, revealing his weakness, "In my father's situation at that time, what was the problem with sending him to the nursing home in his hometown?" How do we know there's something wrong with that nursing home? ”
"yes." Zhu Tongyu unnaturally cut her hair.
Uncle Li's heart was heavy.
He looked at the ghost and found that the other party was just looking down at Fan Wei, with neither sadness nor anger.
He was still like a sculpture, out of place, and no one could see him.
