An Accident in Broad Daylight

The building of the police station has been around for some years. To be honest, at first glance, it is by no means solemn and solemn.But perhaps because of the existence of the police badge, before the taxi stopped, Xu Tangcheng could still feel that the building was trying to break down the last calm in his heart through the not-so-clear windows.

He got out of the car, walked forward, and saw Zhao Weifan who was waiting on the steps beside the gate.Just now, it was this girl's phone call that verified all the bad premonitions in his heart.

At that time, he was walking towards the exit with the flow of people, and the sun's rays hit the huge glass beside him, which was sharpened to be extra strong. Together with this phone call, it brought people entangled dizziness.

"Yi Zhe asked me to tell you that he can't come to pick you up," the voice on the phone was calm, but it became weaker and weaker, so that Xu Tangcheng could hear the nervousness that the girl was trying to hide, "He asked you to take a taxi home by yourself. Be careful on the road."

Xu Tangcheng gripped the phone tightly and asked, "What happened to him?"

Seeing him, Zhao Weifan quickly stood up from the steps and waved his hand.

"How are you doing now?" After a brief greeting, Xu Tangcheng asked as he walked.

"Probably will be detained, and the other party is now saying that they will prosecute."

Xu Tangcheng was taken aback for a moment, then his expression froze: "Sue?"

"Well," Zhao Weifan nodded, and explained the whole situation to him in one breath, "A settlement has not been reached. The man named Yu An is now in the hospital. The police went for an injury appraisal in the afternoon, but the results haven't come out yet, but I heard that there was a broken bone or something. His family members came here, but they haven’t left yet. The police have taken notes for the witnesses, Yi Zhe, and Yu Yu. I stopped a classmate who witnessed it and asked because Yu Yu Not long after entering the laboratory, Yi Zhe rushed in and beat him without saying a word, so the people in that laboratory didn't know what was going on, and didn't say anything. What's worse, it seemed that at that time Yu Yu has been only doing defense, not fighting. Now Yu Yu keeps saying that he doesn't know why Yi Zhe hit him, and Yi Zhe doesn't know why, but he just refuses to say the reason for beating, so now it is completely Yi Zhe's unilateral responsibility In this way, he must be detained, and the only reconciliation condition proposed by the other party is Yi Zhe's apology, which Yi Zhe refused."

"Wait a minute," Xu Tangcheng stopped and confirmed with some strangeness, "They only ask for an apology?"

"Yeah. It's said that Yu Yu brought it up, and he doesn't want any compensation, but Yi Zhe must first apologize to him in person, and then post an apology post on the school's forum to eliminate the possible adverse effects of this matter on him, otherwise Yi Zhe will definitely be sued."

Yu Yu mentioned it?

Xu Tangcheng couldn't figure out the purpose of such a condition for a while, but he had a vague feeling that this time things didn't seem so simple.He originally thought that perhaps Yu Yu had provoked Yi Zhe somewhere, but Yi Zhe couldn't hold back and became impulsive.After all, Yi Zhe had indeed told himself that he didn't like Yu Yu.

But after listening to Zhao Weifan's narration, whether it's Yu An's attitude of not fighting back at all, or this seemingly simple reconciliation condition, they all seem to imply to him that this is more like a long-established conflict than an unexpected conflict. trap.

Xu Tangcheng was startled suddenly. With some fluke mentality, he hoped that he was just thinking too much, for no reason, and Yu Yu shouldn't harbor such great malice.

While talking, two people had already entered the hall door.If the police station is noisy, it will not be just seven or eight. At this moment, several policemen are dealing with three accidents. The protagonists of the accidents plus a relative who is more kind than the other, the arguing and crying are enough to fill the whole room. room.

Xu Tangcheng saw Yi Zhe all at once—several people were sitting or standing in that position, all wearing long sleeves, but he was the only one wearing a black short sleeve.He sat in a chair with his back facing him, his back straight.

This posture was in line with Yi Zhe's usual attitude, but Xu Tangcheng suddenly lost his mind.Before he came, he brought his bank card and made sure that no matter how much money the other party wanted, he would solve the accident for Yi Zhe.

But no one understood the meaning of Yi Zhe's gesture better than him.

Thinking of this, Xu Tangcheng felt a little confused, and his steps slowed down unknowingly.As if sensing it, the person in front suddenly turned around and was caught off guard by his gaze.

Half a month later, they reunited in such an unimaginable way under this unpleasant environment.

There were bruises on the corner of Yi Zhe's mouth, but it didn't look like a serious injury.Although he hadn't come up with a solution yet, Xu Tangcheng's heart was still a little more at ease.

At least he's safe.

Yi Zhe got up too quickly and abruptly, probably thinking that he was going to cause trouble, and the policeman who was in charge of the questioning immediately raised his head and shouted at him: "What are you doing! Sit down!"

With a shout, many people in the room looked at Yi Zhe at the same time, with different emotions in their eyes.

Xu Tangcheng frowned slightly.

Because of Yi Zhe's actions, Yu Yu's family quickly turned around and noticed his arrival.Yue was anxious and didn't want to lose his manners, the woman sitting on the side had a deep gap between her brows, her lips moved, but she still held back and just stared at him with indifferent eyes as she walked in.

After Yi Zhe stood up, he didn't sit down again. When Xu Tangcheng walked to the table, he leaned towards him, didn't say anything, but kept pursing his lips and looked down at him slightly.Within a concealed range, Xu Tangcheng patted the hand beside him, but was surprised to feel something cool and moist. He lowered his head, opened his palm, and saw a deeply buried wound.

"Why don't you bandage it?"

Shouldn't both parties do the injury appraisal?Why didn't they deal with it here?

Yi Zhe didn't say anything, but the policeman spoke first: "He won't let the bag go."

Hearing the sound, Xu Tang turned around immediately, bowed slightly, and said hello.

"Sorry to trouble you."

The policeman who spoke waved his hand, then asked Xu Tangcheng's identity: "Are you his?"

"elder brother."

"Brother?"

Xu Tangcheng shook his head: "No."

The young police officer who was recording at the side immediately said, "Then the specific relationship?"

After asking this question, there was no response for a long time. Both policemen looked up strangely, but saw the man in front of him staring at the notebook, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, Xu Tangcheng said: "A neighbor is also a friend."

"That's not good." The policeman who asked the question knocked the table twice. "It's best for relatives to come."

"My family is not in Beijing." Xu Tangcheng said simply.

"Oh, you come to Beijing to go to school, right?" The policeman who asked the question tore through the notebook again, flipped through it, and said, "You come to school and fight?"

The woman on the side interrupted at this moment: "Since there are no other family members coming, let's start talking quickly. We have also spent the whole night here. If you don't want to apologize, we will prepare Sue."

The woman's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Yu An's, probably Yu An's mother.Compared with the excitement she tried to restrain, the man on the side was much calmer. He never spoke, but his eyes never moved away from Xu Tangcheng and Yi Zhe.I don't know why, although a woman's aggression can bring pressure, the man's scrutiny makes Xu Tangcheng feel even more uncomfortable.

Calmly, he moved a little step to block Yi Zhe's side, and also blocked the man from looking at Yi Zhe.

"Just now I got a general understanding of the situation," Xu Tangcheng said to the police in a soft voice, "but there are some things that are not clear, and I need to ask you."

"You said." The policeman who asked the question rubbed the bridge of his nose and replied.

"Hasn't the cause of what happened now been investigated?"

"Shouldn't you ask your brother about this?" The woman snorted coldly.

The policeman was about to open his mouth, but he stopped talking and turned his neck around, looking straight at the woman.

The woman was not afraid that she had just suffocated the police, but she stood up directly and asked Xu Tangcheng, "My son was beaten like this by your brother in his laboratory. He doesn't even know why he messed with him. Your brother, what's wrong with you?" It’s been almost a day and I haven’t said anything. If my son hadn’t been kind enough to say that there must be a misunderstanding and let us negotiate a settlement with him, I would have wasted my time here? That’s good, as if we were begging him to apologize .”

During the process of speaking, she kept approaching Xu Tangcheng. By the end of this passage, the distance between the two had far exceeded the comfortable social distance.

Someone pulled him from behind, Xu Tangcheng didn't move, he stretched his hand behind his back and grabbed that wrist: "Sorry."

He tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, and asked the woman in front of him, "Then can I go and see Senior Yu An?"

"No need." The woman quickly refused, "You don't have to disturb my son until the matter is resolved."

Xu Tangcheng listened, nodded, and did not continue to ask.After a moment of silence, he asked the police again: "Can I have a private chat with my brother?"

The questioning policeman raised his eyebrows and leaned back in his chair.

"I believe he won't..." Xu Tangcheng finished speaking halfway, but he was afraid that saying this would irritate Yu Yu's mother, so he stopped and said directly, "Maybe he has something inconvenient to say, let me talk to him, maybe It will be of some help to the progress of the case."

At the end of Xu Shi's day, Yi Zhe's silent attitude also made the police a little helpless, but the person who was beaten insisted on reconciliation as a priority, which made it seem like they were negotiating later, but in fact there was no result.The questioning policeman motioned to the person who took the record, and that person got up and said to Xu Tangcheng and Yi Zhe, "Follow me."

Before leaving, Xu Tangcheng apologized to Eucalyptus's mother: "I hope you can give us a little more time. When things happen, we have to find out what happened. If it is really Yi Zhe's responsibility, I will apologize and compensate you." None of us will be less.”

The young policeman led them to a small room, turned the doorknob, he coughed, and suddenly said: "Let me remind you, even if it is a detention, there are criminal and public security, not to mention that it has been said over there. You're going to sue, you'd better persuade him to explain what to explain, the other party doesn't even want compensation, just apologize quickly and settle."

Xu Tangcheng nodded and agreed.He and Yi Zhe were sitting in the room, while the young policeman was standing at the door.He clearly knew what to say and what to ask at this time, but seeing the blood oozing from between Yi Zhe's fingers, Xu Tangcheng couldn't help asking him softly, "Does it hurt? Why didn't you deal with it?"

Yi Zhe shook his head after a brief silence, not knowing which question he was answering.

Xu Tangcheng wanted to pull Yi Zhe's hand without making a sound, but Yi Zhe was prepared this time, waved his hand and hid it behind his back.Xu Tangcheng raised his eyes to look at him, Yi Zhe met his gaze and said, "It's really all right."

This scene has happened before.

Xu Tangcheng almost immediately thought that one summer, when he came home at night, he met Yi Zhe who was squatting by the flower pond and feeding the cat.That time it was the corner of the eye, he wanted to check it, but Yi Zhe also dodged it.

He suddenly deviated from the topic, thinking, that seems really far away.

People should not come to this small room very often. There was a thin layer of dust on the table. Xu Tangcheng didn't notice it at first. the river.

He simply stretched out a finger to scratch the dust on the table, and then asked Yi Zhe, "Why did you hit him?"

After waiting for a long time, there was no answer. When Xu Tangcheng was about to continue to question, the person beside him suddenly leaned over and pulled his arm to make him leave the table.Then, Yi Zhe put his fists on the table, rubbed his flat forearm, and opened a clean space on the table in front of Xu Tangcheng, clearly separated.

"dirty."

Xu Tangcheng was stunned and looked at him.

The feeling of reunion after the farewell came a bit late. At this time, after putting aside a bunch of thorny questions that need to be explored, the two people suddenly confessed the whole thing while looking at each other.

"I didn't pick you up." Yi Zhe said.

I don't miss you very much, I'm not finally back.Xu Tangcheng finally understood why Yi Zhe had been staring at him just now.

When he wanted to speak again, Xu Tangcheng had already said, "Stop."

Closing his opened mouth just now, Yi Zhe looked at him obediently.

"It doesn't matter," Xu Tangcheng turned his head and kept his head low for the time being.After stopping for ten seconds, he looked at Yi Zhe again and said, "But do you know how worried I was when the plane landed, when I first found out about it?"

"I'm sorry." After the silence, Yi Zhe said.

I was interrupted just now, but I still said it now.

"Even I can't tell?" Xu Tangcheng asked him, "Why did you fight?"

Yi Zhe shook his head: "It's not a good thing, so I don't want you to know."

"Do you want to apologize then?"

Yi Zhe still shook his head.

"No. They can do whatever they want, and I won't apologize." After he finished speaking, he took Xu Tangcheng's hand under the table again, "Don't worry about it."

Yu Yu's parents had already left first, and Xu Tangcheng and Zhao Weifan stepped out of the gate of the police station at ten o'clock in the evening.The taxi stopped at University B, and after Zhao Weifan got off, Xu Tangcheng said to the master, "Please go to the People's Hospital."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tangcheng received a text message from Yu Yu.

The content of the text message was the number of the ward, as if he had been expected to come.

At this time, the corridors of the inpatient department were dark.Maybe it was deliberately dismissing the family members, or maybe they hadn't come yet, Xu Tangcheng opened the door of that ward, and Yu Yu was the only one inside.

Xu Tangcheng quickly judged Yu Eucalyptus's injury - his arm was broken and his neck was also braced.

But even so, he was still sitting.

Sitting, as if waiting for him.

"How was the trip to Japan?"

Xu Tangcheng didn't answer, nor did he stop.He didn't stand still by Yu Yu's bed, but walked all the way to the window, choosing a view area that Yu Yu couldn't easily see.

"What are you doing standing so far away?" Yu Yu smiled, "I don't like beating people like your little boyfriend, let alone... I have already been beaten like this by him."

Yu Yu's words caused Xu Tangcheng's perception of this room to be subtly distorted, or in other words, a sense of subversion of cognition.In my memory, this senior who was always polite, actually said such sour and sarcastic words, and even mixed a coquettish tone into the last sentence.Xu Tangxiang had never known him too well, and it was logical that he felt a little uncomfortable.He cleared his throat and asked calmly, "Why did he hit you?"

"He didn't say?" Yu An asked quickly, but there was no sign of surprise.

Xu Tangcheng didn't answer, nor was he in a hurry, he leaned against the window sill and waited.

Before Xu Tangcheng could respond, Yu Yu said after a while, "I don't know why he hit me, maybe you should take him to see a psychiatrist."

When he said this, Xu Tangcheng didn't show any annoyance.Instead, he put both hands in his pockets, changed to a more comfortable position, and then replied unhurriedly: "Although I don't know why, I believe it won't be his fault."

These words were intentional, purely because Xu Tangcheng was very tired and didn't want to follow Yu Yu around, so he wanted to see if this would stimulate Yu Yu's way of letting go of his yin and yang.

Sure enough, Yu Yu immediately lowered his face. If it weren't for the obstruction of the neck immobilizer, he must have been facing Xu Tangcheng's gaze and asking questions.

"Won't it be his fault?"

Xu Tangcheng didn't speak.

There was only a very dim light in the ward, illuminating the pale gauze on Yu Yu's forehead.He smiled softly, speaking in a sincere tone: "I said a long time ago that he is too reckless and not suitable for you. I just showed him two photos, and he beat me like this at school look."

"What picture."

"There are no photos, just the photos from our laboratory dinner that day. Perhaps, there is a picture with a strange angle,... What misunderstanding did he cause?" Yu Yu made a thoughtful look, and then laughed, "Oh, It should be like this, the other one is nothing special, I captured you. From this point of view, Tang Cheng, he doesn't seem to trust you very much."

photo……

Xu Tangcheng really didn't have any impression, he didn't take any photo with Yu Yu, maybe there was one that day, Yu Yu suddenly took him by the shoulder.

Yu Yu didn't get the expected effect, more precisely, Xu Tangcheng didn't answer anything at all.

After staring at the ground for a long time, Xu Tangcheng put his hands on the window sill, stood up straight with his body propped up, and said, "Senior, take good care of your wounds, I'm leaving first."

He walked forward without any response from Guan Yu.But when approaching the door, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Stop."

Xu Tangcheng didn't stop, but if he observed carefully, he actually slowed down.

"Tang Cheng, I don't understand where your trust in him comes from, and I don't want to get to the bottom of it. But I don't think I did anything wrong, and I will definitely investigate this matter to the end. I believe you have already gone to the police station , then I hope you can convince him earlier and let him apologize to me, otherwise..."

"why?"

Before Yu Yuyu threatened, Xu Tangcheng interrupted him first.

"Why?" Yu Yu sneered, "Don't you think he shouldn't apologize to me?"

Xu Tangcheng turned around this time and explained: "Why don't you pay compensation, but just apologize."

He believes that what Yu Yu just said should not be a lie, but it is by no means the whole reason of the matter.If it's just a few incomprehensible photos from the dinner party, Yi Zhe's performance doesn't make sense at all.

Yi Zhe can beat people and get angry, but it is impossible not to trust him.Xu Tangcheng was sure that there were no photos that could directly trigger Yi Zhe's anger, so Yu Yu must have concealed something, and the concealed part was the reason why Yi Zhe beat people, and it was also because he refused to even himself Tell the reason.

Yi Zhe also said that it was not a good thing.Then, if you continue to ask, Yu An will not tell the truth.

Yu Yu didn't expect that Xu Tangcheng would no longer worry about the previous problem, but directly changed it.He was probably injured, which affected his reaction speed, so he didn't speak for a long time.It wasn't until Xu Tangcheng turned around again and turned the doorknob that he threw out a word without any emotion.

"I want to see how hard his bones are."

"There is one thing, I guess you don't know. Before his teacher asked him to contact me, he asked him to study some materials that I compiled by myself, to supplement them, and to talk about them at the regular meeting. But he didn't contact me. In three days, he started from the beginning. In the end, I finished all these tasks. I really have a backbone." I don't know where the wound was affected, Yu An took a breath, which made the laughter that was about to radiate just now inexplicably hideous, "I want to see this time Look, how hard his bones are. How much is his easy to say sorry, how much is it worth?"
