Qiu Zhe lay on a hospital bed, his back against a pillow, holding a large ceramic bowl with steaming chicken soup and boiled noodles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he first picked out the chicken and ate it all, and then ate the soup with a meal of seafood, and a bowl of noodles came to the bottom in the blink of an eye.

The caregiver who took care of him on the side was already surprised, silently took the bowl, and went to fill it for him, only to complain in his heart: What kind of illness is this, it is so edible.

Qiu Zhe naturally didn't know what the caretaker was thinking, his previous injuries were too serious, and he had reached the point where he couldn't heal his injuries, so he had to resort to modern medical methods. This is also the first time that he has entered the hospital as a patient in the past ten years since he worshiped Lai Shouzhong as his teacher.

After lying on the hospital bed for a week, relying on blood transfusions and hanging nutrient solutions, Qiu Zhe finally recovered a little vitality and was able to exercise and pranayama on his own. However, in order to avoid being too shocking, he had to continue to lie in the hospital and make himself behave normally.

However, nutrient solution and plasma are not necessary to be transfused again, for Qiu Zhe, although this Western-style quick method is effective quickly, it is not in line with the purpose of Taoist qi training, it can save lives, but it cannot be relied on.

The ward was full of flowers and fruit baskets, all gifts from the rescued girls. Although the incident was covered up by the relevant parties, these witnesses knew who had saved their lives.

When the caretaker went out with the food box, Cui Peng happened to come in. He casually closed the door of the ward and said to Qiu Zhe: "Qiu Tingting has taken a leave of absence." ”

"Oh, that's fine. Qiu Zhe picked up a banana, peeled it three or two times and ate it: "So as not to make them embarrassed to meet." ”

"Huh. Cui Peng also smiled.

Although the victimized girls were rescued and Gao Yongxia was spared, the parties knew in their hearts that it would never be possible to restore the intimacy between these girls and Qiu Tingting.

"All the girls who had an accident were all related to Qiu Tingting, either roommates and classmates, or in the same club. Cui Peng said with some self-reproach: "I could have discovered such an obvious relationship earlier, so that we wouldn't have to make so many detours." ”

Qiu Zhe comforted him: "You are not a policeman. ”

"Actually, it might be better to call the police at the beginning," Cui Peng said: "If it was a professional police to deal with it, it would have been possible to find clues from Lin Meiqi's mobile phone a long time ago." Those selfies and location records in mobile phone apps can prove that Qiu Tingting is lying. ”

"First of all, you have to have a reason to call the police," Qiu Zhe said calmly: "These girls have no external injuries, they are not missing, they are just unconscious, why should they report the crime? If we tell the truth, I am afraid that we will directly drive people out as madmen." ”

"By the way, the results of that mirror are out. Cui Peng mentioned another thing.

"How?"

"No, the captain found a professional appraiser and confirmed that the mirror was indeed from medieval Europe, but it was just an ordinary mirror, at most it could be called a cultural relic. ”

"I guessed," Qiu Zhe said, "the illusion in the mirror has been shattered, and Christina, who lives in the mirror, is also gone, even if there is any magic in this mirror, there will be nothing left now." ”

"But as for the origin of this mirror, it is not all without gain. Cui Peng has a signature smile on his face, and those who are familiar with him know that this is a manifestation of Cui Peng's interest: "Have you seen Grimm's fairy tales, there is a story in Grimm's fairy tales, called Snow White." ”

"Well, I know, does it have anything to do with that?"

"The queen in Snow White has a magic mirror in her hand, which can tell the queen who is the most beautiful woman in the world. ”

"You don't mean to say that the mirror we encountered is the magic mirror in Snow White, right?" Qiu Zhe asked rhetorically.

"Of course not," Cui Peng said, "The original version of Snow White is completely different from what we read today, and it is a very dark and evil story. The reason why this happened is because these stories were originally European folklore, but the Brothers Grimm collected and sorted them out and modified them, and constantly beautified them, so that we have the version we see today, which is suitable for children. ”

"You're saying that the mirror stolen from the fair is the prototype of the magic mirror in Snow White?"

"That's right, as the Lord of the Rings movie says: 'History becomes legend, legend becomes myth'. After thousands of years of baptism, the face of fairy tales has long been turned upside down, and who will remember the original appearance of history. ”

"Christina was a nobleman in medieval Europe, probably an earl or even a duchess, who, in order to maintain her youthful vitality, secretly studied pharmacy and hypnosis, and secretly sucked the blood of young virgins, believing that she could maintain her health. Later, he was arrested by the church, executed as a witch, and even his soul was suppressed in the mirror that he used to use in his life, and the matter evolved into the legend of the magic mirror, and finally combined with other story elements, there was the story of Snow White. ”

Qiu Zhe frowned slightly: "Where did you know this?"

Cui Peng said: "This is what Captain Guan said, if you want to question it, go to the group of archaeologists he consulted." ”

"I'm not that bored. Qiu Zhe glanced at his mouth: "Finally, the matter has come to an end, and the magic mirror has been solved." These legends are messy, let the professionals verify them, I don't want to ask for trouble if I have nothing to do. ”

"I'm quite curious, how did this magic mirror get Qiu Tingting's hands?" Cui Peng was interested: "She's not Ali Pasha." ”

"It wasn't Qiu Tingting who took the magic mirror," Qiu Zhe shook his head, remembering his experience that night, and still has lingering palpitations: "It was the magic mirror that chose Qiu Tingting." I don't know what Christina is capable of, but her mental power is rare in my life. With such a strong spiritual force field, it is too simple to bewitch a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world and has a strong sense of jealousy. ”

In this way, Qiu Tingting is actually quite wronged. Cui Peng couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "Actually, this girl's nature is not too bad." ”

"People are not dead," Qiu Zhe said: "It's just a year off from school, so don't pity the jade." I won't tell the truth of this, you don't say it, just put the blame on the magic lens. Anyway, everyone was rescued, and legally speaking, no one could do anything to her. ”

"Why do I think you're the one who pities the jade?" Cui Peng joked with a smile.

"I'm just too lazy to bother. ”

Cui Peng couldn't take a sentence, so he could only stare dryly, with an expression of "defeated by you".

The two were silent for a while, and Qiu Zhe said in a muffled voice: "Help me get discharged, I can't stay here anymore." ”

"What?" Cui Peng squeezed his eyebrows: "I also specially hired a nurse for you, a college student who has not yet graduated from nursing school, beautiful and gentle, is not satisfied?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Qiu Zhe didn't bother to answer his words: "This female caretaker you hired likes to make a fuss about everything, and I don't feel comfortable eating a meal." And those girls, who come every now and then, are sending flowers and fruit baskets, which is really annoying. ”

"You-" Cui Peng pointed his finger at him for a long time, unable to think of anything, and said dejectedly: "I'll do it for you." ”

"By the way, Captain Guan is leaving, ask me to bring you a letter before leaving. He was about to go out when he stopped again.

"Oh, where did he go? I haven't said thank you to him yet. Qiu Zhe asked.

"He went to Linchuan," Cui Peng took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Qiu Zhe: "It is said that the clues of Ali Pasha have been found there, and there is nothing to check here in Jiangdong." ”

Qiu Zhe opened the envelope, there was only one page, and the handwriting was very neat. He read it at a glance and then took the letter back into the envelope.

"What did Captain Guan say?" Cui Peng asked curiously.

"It's nothing," Qiu Zhe said, "and he asked me if I wanted to join the Security Bureau." ”

"What do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas," Qiu Zhe shook his head, "I can't join the Security Bureau, and I don't want to be involved with any organization in the court." ”

"Then it's troublesome," Cui Peng said, "We owe him a big favor this time, and without the help of the Security Bureau, I wouldn't have been able to find you so quickly." ”

"There's always a chance to pay it back. Qiu Zhe touched his chin, turned his head to look out the window, and thoughtfully: "Maybe it won't be long before it is returned." ”

He didn't know that his words were actually prophecy.
