doctor is cold

One drop, two drops.

Then came tick tock.

And then crackling.

Yin Linru raised his head, it was pitch black outside the window, and he couldn't see anything, but the traces of water drops on the window were very obvious.

It's raining.

Showers are not surprising on summer nights.It's just that Yin Linru vaguely remembered that Zheng Xi didn't bring an umbrella when he went out.

Are you going to pick her up?Yin Linru thought.

Forget it, captain of the criminal police, it should be a little bit more graceful.

But what if it is not delivered, that person still has wounds on his body, and it will be bad if it becomes inflamed and suppurated... Let's make a phone call.

It's to save yourself trouble.

That's right, that's it.

"..."

The phone got through, but there was no sound. Except for the voices of pedestrians coming and going, there was only silence.

"Zheng Xi?"

"What's the matter with you?" When she didn't hear the answer, Yin Linru felt a feeling of uneasiness in her heart. She softened her voice, but her tone was a little eager.

"it hurts......"

"..." Yin Linru paused, and asked directly, "Where are you?"

The place where Zheng Xi and Li Jingan made an appointment was not far from the house Yin Linru was renting, just across the street.

Yin Linru arrived soon, Zheng Xi was sitting by the window, it was very clear from the outside.She buried her face between her hands, and the veins on her forehead seemed to be a little raised.The opposite side was empty except for a half-drunk lemonade.

Yin Linru went in, put away the umbrella, hung it aside, and sat down directly opposite her.

Zheng Xi looked up at her, then buried her back, Yin Linru didn't care, just sat there quietly.

"Doctor Yin."

"Ah."

"Can I hold your hand?"

"..."

Yin Linru held out his hand without saying a word.

Zheng Xi stared at the bony hand in front of her, and was stunned for a while. It was obviously her request, but after the other party agreed so readily, she began to shrink back.

Yin Linru raised his pretty eyebrows slightly, and leaned over to hold Zheng Xi's hand.

Yin Linru's hands were the same as hers, with a bit of coolness, even in such a hot weather, they were not warm at all.However, it was such a pair of cold hands that gave Zheng Xi stability.

Suddenly, Yin Linru lowered his head and chuckled.

"why are you laughing?"

"I was thinking that you and I must have met a long time ago, in a time and space that neither you nor I can remember." Yin Linru said, "At that time, maybe you held my hand like this. "Otherwise, how can I explain that I have nothing against you.

Zheng Xi didn't speak, she really couldn't remember meeting Yin Linru, such a unique temperament, she would remember it if she saw her...

......

"The rain has stopped." Yin Linru looked outside and said.

"Then let's go back." Zheng Xi said.

Walking out the door, a sense of refreshment rushed over, which was rare in summer, and both of them took a deep breath.

"Lin Ru, don't you ask me what happened just now?" Zheng Xi asked when he was about to reach the community.

"If you can always call me Dr. Yin, I would be happy to see it succeed."

"ah!"

Yin Linru tilted his head and smiled lightly.

"What would you do if you found out that one day, what you believed to be a lie for ten years was actually a hidden lie?" Zheng Xi asked leisurely.

"Either overthrow it, or continue to make mistakes, two choices, it's up to you." Yin Linru said.

"What if that lie ruined a family's life, and what if that lie allowed the person who really deserved to be punished to escape?" Zheng Xi asked, "Is it still possible to make mistakes?"

"Did you ask me?"

"if not."

"..." Yin Linru stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked into Zheng Xi's eyes, "I will let you do whatever you want."

"What do you mean?"

"Ask your heart, will you feel guilty, will you regret it, will you be in pain, if so, then go to correct this mistake and overthrow this lie."

"How do I know if I will feel guilty, regretful, or painful?"

"Didn't you already have the answer?" Yin Linru said, "What is the cause of the pain just now? Wouldn't it be good to think about solving that matter in the direction of calming the pain?"

Zheng Xi froze for a moment, and hugged Yin Linru.

"I see, thanks."

Yin Linru froze there, at a loss, as if she didn't even know how to breathe for a while, until Zheng Xi let go of her, she took two steps back panting, bent over, and supported her with one hand. On his knees, he covered his chest with one hand.

It was as if the retracted fist was more powerful when punched out, and the heart that had stopped beating suddenly was beating violently at this moment, hitting a strong beat.

"Yin, Dr. Yin... are you okay?" Zheng Xi was startled by her reaction, "I, I don't know..." She took two steps closer and reached out to help her, but Because of the reaction just now, I still dare not reach out.

Yin Linru only felt that her whole face was hot, even her ears were hot. She must be very red now, she thought.Taking another two steps back, Yin Linru straightened up, without looking at Zheng Xi, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, let's go."

Zheng Xi stood there blankly, not knowing why.

******

two hours ago -

"...details that only you know."

When Li Jingan said these words, he stared closely at Zheng Xi's eyes, as if he could easily know whether she was lying or not.

"Everything I know is already on that file." Zheng Xi looked a little uncomfortable, and took a sip of lemonade.

Li Jing'an said directly: "How do you know that the second case was committed by a third person, not the murderer ten years ago? Or is it the murderer of the first case?"

"As far as I know, these two cases are very similar to the one ten years ago. If the first case can be determined to be another person because the murderer was still in prison, what about the latest one? Maybe the murderer came out and found out that someone killed someone with his own method, so he had a comparative idea? Or maybe the murderer in the first case found that he had killed a person and failed to attract the attention of the murderer ten years ago. What about shooting again?"

"I have also thought about this possibility, but there are differences in the three cases." Zheng Xi said, "Ten years ago, after the murderer killed someone, the door of the room was ajar, but in the second case, the door It's closed, and in the third case, the door is still ajar."

"The door may have just been closed casually, or it may not have been closed. Maybe it is not a clue? After all, there are only three cases, so it is impossible to find the law of the murderer's killing?" Li Jing'an said, "If we have to talk about the law, then Instead, it means that the second case is the murderer from ten years ago."

"Ten years ago, that door was ajar. It was said by the murderer who was captured at that time, and that murderer was the reporter at that time."

"You mean the murderer lied?"

"After killing a person, if the door is opened, the reason should be to allow the body to be discovered as soon as possible. If the door ten years ago was indeed concealed, and it was determined that the first case could not be the murderer at that time, then the first case The second case seems to be done by the murderer back then, but was the door really a lie?" Zheng Xi said leisurely, "On the contrary, I believe it was done by the people present at that time, because At that time, many people directly believed the testimony given by the murderer that the door was false."

"What do you mean?"

"If the murderer is the person who reported the case, it may not be true whether the door is really a cover-up as he said." Zheng Xidao, "At that time, four weeks had passed since my parents died and they were discovered. hours, and the bunch of keys that my father wore around his waist were gone.”

"You mean... after the murderer committed the crime, he took the key and locked the door, but because the body was not found for a long time, he took the key and opened the door to 'discover' the body, which became The reporter..." Li Jing'an said, "but why did he do such a thing? If he didn't do this extravagantly, maybe he wouldn't be caught at all?"

Zheng Xi also asked herself this question, but the evidence in front of her was too obvious, there was nothing to doubt.

"Have you ever thought that ten years ago, perhaps...the wrong person was arrested?" Li Jing'an said, "I read the file carefully, and the case was closed too hastily, as if it was rushed to end the case as soon as possible." There are many doubts in the decision made, and Wan Yiyang doesn't even have a motive for committing the crime."

Wan Yiyang was the murderer ten years ago, and also the son of Zheng Xi's neighbor.

"The evidence is infallible."

"Evidence may be forged." Li Jing'an said, "Think about it, ten years ago, you believed that Wan Yiyang was the murderer, did you really believe that, or did you not care at all just to grab a life-saving straw? Did I find the wrong person?"

Zheng Xi bit her lower lip tightly.

"If the wrong person was caught ten years ago, maybe the same person did the second case." Li Jing'an said, taking a sip of water, "Anyway, I learned a lot from today's conversation. Your time is up, sorry, then I will take my leave first.”

Li Jing'an left, but Zheng Xi felt more and more headache the more he thought about it.

Did she really never doubt it?not necessarily.

The shock and disbelief of that teenager when he was convicted ten years ago often appeared in front of her when she dreamed back at midnight, but she didn't want to think too much about it.The sudden loss of her parents made her feel like a victim who fell into the water, and catching the murderer became her only reason to persevere. At that time, the only suspect was Wan Yiyang. Who else would the murderer be?She desperately wanted to find out the evidence of his murder. During that time, that was the driving force that supported her not to fall down. Fortunately, the evidence came one after another, and it was so brightly placed in front of her...

She covered her face in pain.

if...if...if...

The cell phone rang at this moment.

She didn't even want to answer the phone, and she didn't care who was on the other end.

"......it hurts."

It hurts everywhere.
