spirits in throat

Rong Zhao had a very long dream. He dreamed that he was holding a black umbrella and walking on a road under heavy rain. There was a house in front of him with the door open. His parents and sister stood in the house and looked at it. he.

Dad was holding a ruler in his hand, the one he often used to beat him. Mom still had gentle eyes, like every day before.The elder sister was wearing a red dress, and waved to him with a smile: "Xiao Xu."

He smiled and walked forward quickly. He missed them so much and wanted to be with them forever.

When he walked to the door, his father suddenly changed his face and raised the ruler in his hand to prevent him from entering the house.

Most of his body was already soaked by the heavy rain, and his wet clothes stuck to his back, making him very uncomfortable. He stopped at the door, feeling very aggrieved: "Why don't you let me in?"

After all, he looked at his mother with pleading eyes.Mom is the best, never letting him get in the rain, let alone watching him in wet clothes.

He raised his foot and was about to step into the house when his sister closed the door suddenly.

"Why don't you let me in?" He was a little angry, and the grievance in his heart was getting heavier, and he said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm cold, let me in."

Mom gently shook her head at him, looked at him with eyes of infinite attachment, and waved her hands to let him go back the same way.

Rong Zhao threw away the umbrella in his hand and slammed on the door, but the houses and people in front of him were like an ink painting that gradually disappeared, getting lighter and weaker.

A beam of white light suddenly shone down from the top of his head, and at some point, the rain stopped and the sun fell on him.

Rong Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and saw the snow-white ceiling. He turned his head with difficulty and found that it was a hospital.

He pinched his palm with his nails, and a tingling pain came over him.

He is still alive.

Rong Zhao moved his arm, and found a person lying on the bed, he looked, Zhou Ye was sitting on the chair by the bed, lying on the quilt and fell asleep.

Rong Zhao glanced at the clock on the wall, it was three o'clock in the morning.He turned his head to look at the window, and through the cracks in the curtains, he saw tall buildings and thousands of lights.

He looked down at Zhou Ye who was lying on the bed and fell asleep, and raised his hand gently, wanting to touch him, but afraid of waking him up, he had to withdraw his hand.

He didn't know what day it was, how long he had been in a coma, and how long Zhou Ye had guarded him.

His throat was a little dry, he wanted to drink water, and couldn't bear to wake Zhou Ye up, so he just kept looking at him, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

He didn't see his face, only the top of his head, and that was enough to make him happy.

Finally, Rong Zhao couldn't help touching Zhou Ye's hair lightly.

Sensing movement, Zhou Ye slowly opened his eyes, and raised his head to meet Rong Zhao's gentle smiling eyes.He paused, got up quickly, and poured Rong Zhao a glass of warm water in a panic.

Because my hands were shaking a little, I accidentally knocked over the cup, so I changed the cup and poured another cup.

The whole ward was silent, and they didn't speak to each other.

Rong Zhao sat up from the bed, leaned against the head of the bed, took the water glass handed over by Zhou Ye, and looked greedily at the person in front of him.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but he has lost weight several times, he is very tired, his beard is unshaven, his eyes are full of dark circles, and his eyes are full of red bloodshot eyes.The clothes on his body were also crumpled, and there was even a small bloodstain on the chest of the shirt inside.

Zhou Ye stood on the bed and looked at Rong Zhao, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he thought he was dreaming, he didn't dare to get too close, for fear of disturbing something and waking up from this beautiful dream suddenly.

Rong Zhao opened his mouth and was about to speak when the person in front of him suddenly turned around and left. He wanted to call his name because his throat was too dry, but the syllables were stuck in his throat and he couldn't pronounce it.

A nurse on night shift walked past the door of the ward and saw a person squatting at the door. This person held his head, as if he could not move, and he could only see it when he got closer. His shoulders were shaking slightly, and he seemed to be trembling all over. .

The little nurse hurried over and asked with concern: "Mr. Zhou, are you okay?" This is the top ward of the best private hospital in Dongyu City, and the nurse naturally recognizes Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye waved his hands: "It's okay." Only when he made a sound did he realize that his voice was unbearably hoarse.

The little nurse couldn't ask any more questions: "If you need anything, please contact us." After speaking, she left.

Zhou Ye squatted at the door with his head buried in his knees. Rong Zhao disappeared for three days and fell into a coma for two days and one night.For the first three days, his whole body was tense, he didn't dare to relax, let alone break down easily, he wanted to find Rong Zhao and rescue him.

For two days and one night when Rong Zhao was in a coma, he stayed outside the operating room and in front of his hospital bed, not daring to leave him for a moment, for fear that he would not be able to see him when he woke up, and even more afraid that he would not be able to wake up suddenly.

Although the doctor told him that the patient didn't hurt his brain or internal organs, he was just too tired, and he would definitely wake up after getting enough sleep and rest.

But he was still afraid, he couldn't bear the slightest possibility of losing him.

Zhou Ye calmed down for a while, and when he was about to get up and go back to the ward, he heard the door was opened from the inside.

Rong Zhao came over, his voice was a little weak, and his tone was a little smiling: "What's the matter, you don't want to see me?"

Zhou Ye got up from the ground and hugged Rong Zhao in his arms, wanting to rub him into his body so that he would never leave him for half a step, but he was also afraid of touching the wound on his body, afraid of his pain.

Holding Rong Zhao in his arms, Zhou Ye gently rubbed his lips against his earlobe, and said in a difficult tone, "It's my fault that made you suffer like that."

"I'm fine." Rong Zhao patted Zhou Ye's back lightly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Zhou Ye blocked Rong Zhao's lips with his fingers: "Don't say that, you said sorry to me, are you trying to make my heart hurt to death?"

"Yes, I said that on purpose," Rong Zhao smiled, and said in a low voice, "I want you to love me."

Zhou Ye hugged Rong Zhao horizontally, kicked open the door of the ward, carefully put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, held Rong Zhao's hand, and rubbed him on his cheek: "Okay, I love you so much."

The back of Rong Zhao's hand was pricked by Zhou Ye's beard. He looked at him and said, "Go back and change your clothes, and come back after sleeping."

Zhou Ye looked like he had never been home.

Zhou Ye looked at Rong Zhao for a while, then turned around and walked to the closet next to him, and took out some clothes from it: "My mother sent me clothes, and I will wash them here."

He took a quick shower and was out in less than 10 minutes.If it wasn't for the fear that Rong Zhao would think him smelly, he wouldn't even want to take a bath, he just wanted to keep looking at him and make up for the lack of these days.

Rong Zhao finally had time to ask, "How are Li Junwei and the others doing?"

Zhou Ye held Rong Zhao's hand, and said in a straightforward manner: "Li Junwei has someone on the outskirts of that mountain area. He got the news in advance and ran away, but he didn't run out and was caught by our people. Hu Li and Jin Qiang, also Those 25 villagers who blocked you were all caught, and none of them escaped."

He won't let these people go.

Zhou Ye paused and continued: "Liu Dahu is dead, he was bitten to death by a dog."

"The dogs in the kennel have been sent to the animal rescue station, and they will be well cared for and placed. Don't worry."

Rong Zhao took a sip of water and held the water glass: "Liu Dahu was one of the seven murderers back then. I could have killed him, but I didn't."

He looked at Zhou Ye: "You're right, the only thing that can execute a person is the law." He wanted to live a good life, live a good life with Zhou Ye.

Rong Zhao looked down at the water in the glass, paused and asked, "Is there any news about Xu Yunliang?"

Zhou Ye shook his head: "No, this should be a good thing, as long as his body doesn't appear in the middle of the mountain, you didn't kill him."

Zhou Ye held Rong Zhao's hand: "Don't think too much."

Rong Zhao asked again, "Where are Su Yuzhang and Su Jiaze?"

Zhou Ye replied: "The start-up capital of Su Jiaze's business was invested by a foreign investment company. It was found out that it was the ransom that Su Yuzhang got for kidnapping 'me' back then. Su Yuzhang has already been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and extorting. "

"When the kidnapping happened back then, Su Jiaze was still living with his mother, and he didn't know about it. Su Yuzhang took it all by himself, including the subsequent capital injection."

Zhou Ye continued: "Lin Hongze and the people from the economic investigation department found out that six years ago, Su Jiaze's overseas account had spent a huge amount of money that was unknown."

Rong Zhao leaned on the pillow: "You suspect that Su Jiaze is the mastermind behind the scenes, and his money was used for the Miemen case."

Zhou Ye nodded: "Three days ago, the anti-narcotics side arrested a drug dealer and found out that he was one of the five killers who participated in the aftermath of the Guan family case. He had never met his employer, only on the phone Listen to the employer's voice."

Zhou Ye paused for a moment and continued, "Lin Hongze showed him ten different audio recordings, from which he pointed out Su Jiaze's voice, but this can only be used as evidence, and cannot be used for arrest."

"Don't think about these things yet, you have a good rest." Zhou Ye said as he removed the pillow behind Rong Zhao and helped him lie on the pillow.

Rong Zhao lay on the bed, moved to the side, leaving half of the bed for Zhou Ye, and let him lie down and sleep for a while.

Zhou Ye refused: "Don't squeeze your wound."

Rong Zhao smiled: "It's okay, I want to give you a good hug."

Zhou Ye lay beside Rong Zhao, looked at him sideways, lowered his head and kissed his eyes: "From now on, don't leave me for half a step."

Rong Zhao suddenly thought of something and asked, "How is that little girl?"

Zhou Ye's eyes flickered for a moment: "It's fine, I've been discharged from the hospital and went home."

Rong Zhao nodded: "When you are free some other day, take me to see her, such a small child must be terrified."

Zhou Ye hugged Rong Zhao: "Forget it, don't go. The child will think of those bad memories when he sees you."

Of course it wasn't like this, Zhou Ye didn't want Rong Zhao to know that the one he saved with all his life was actually a little devil.Zhou Ye chatted with Taotao's mother and asked a psychologist to intervene. There is indeed something wrong with the child's psychology.

Zhou Ye was originally worried that Liu Dahu would take Taotao to the kennel to provoke Rong Zhao.

Fortunately, nothing happened in time.

Rong Zhao felt tired and slowly fell asleep in Zhou Ye's arms.

Even in the best wards, the beds are still small, just a little bigger than a single bed.Zhou Ye was afraid that Rong Zhao would sleep uncomfortably, so he got off the bed, sat by the bed, and looked at Rong Zhao quietly until dawn.

He Xueyang rushed over early in the morning, brought the chicken soup she made by herself, and fed it to Rong Zhao bit by bit.

Zhou Sihuai also came, did not enter the ward, but waited at the door.According to his words, he doesn't like to see two men getting bored.

Secretary Li smiled: "Didn't you push two meetings to rush over?"

Zhou Sihuai remained silent.

He Xueyang stayed with Rong Zhao for a while before being chased away by Zhou Ye. He was greedy and wanted to be alone with Rong Zhao.

Not long after He Xueyang and Zhou Sihuai left, Bai Xudong came with Fan Yao and Xiao Qian, and they didn't leave until almost noon.

Rong Zhao looked at a large pile of flowers and fruits on the table, and Fan Yao even left a set of her most beloved eye shadow for Rong Zhao, saying that she could use the eye shadow to cover the injury at the corners of her eyes.

After the first team arrived, Director Qian came with five golden flowers from the internal affairs department, and insisted on transferring Rong Zhao to the internal affairs department. Director Qian helped Rong Zhao write all the application reports, and waited for Rong Zhao Zhao nodded her hair and gave it to Qi Bureau for approval.

After the staff from the internal affairs department left, Ye Qian came to sit for a while.

After Ye Qian left, Wu Hao also came, but failed to poach the corner, and was kicked out of the ward by Zhou Ye.

After sending away the wave after wave of people, the ward finally became quiet.

Rong Zhao sat on the sofa and basked in the sun. He liked the present day very much. He had family, friends, and endless sunshine: "Zhou Ye."

Zhou Ye was helping Rong Zhao peel fruit, when he heard this, he raised his head, "What's wrong, wife."

Rong Zhao smiled: "I didn't really like you calling me wife before, but now I really like hearing you call me that. Am I depraved?"

Zhou Ye smiled, and cut the peeled apple into small pieces that were easy to eat, and fed a piece to Rong Zhao with a toothpick: "You are not degenerate, but you have finally recognized your own position."

"If you don't accept it, get back up and attack me quickly, and see if you can attack me."

Rong Zhao smiled, because he was too thin, dimples could be seen on his face: "Okay."

Rong Zhao: "Don't you have to go to work these days?"

Zhou Ye: "No, I'm on annual leave."

Rong Zhao grabbed Zhou Ye's hand, and gently touched the back of his hand, which was covered with bruises, with broken skin in between: "How did your hand get hurt like this?"

Zhou Ye withdrew his hand: "When I was arresting someone, I accidentally bruised him."

Rong Zhao frowned slightly, and fixed his eyes on Zhou Ye: "You didn't get into any trouble on the spur of the moment, did you?"

Zhou Ye hid his hands behind his back: "Didn't I always tell you before that only the law can determine a person's life and death, so you don't want to be impulsive, just leave it to the law to punish the bad guys, don't dirty your hands , ruining his own future and destiny.”

Rong Zhao looked at Zhou Ye and said in a low tone, "Give me your hand."

"Bang bang bang" there was a knock on the door, and Lin Hongze and Wang Jinghua came in carrying a fruit basket and a bouquet of red carnations, interrupting the conversation between Rong Zhao and Zhou Ye.

When Wang Jinghua saw Rong Zhao, he hurried past, and Brother Rong walked around him shortly.

Lin Hongze took a look at this luxurious ward, and said to Zhou Ye with envy: "If I get injured next time, Master Zhou will also arrange such a ward?"

Zhou Ye glanced at Lin Hongze: "Let's talk about it after you are almost done with your injuries."

After speaking, he got up, hugged Lin Hongze's shoulders and walked out the door: "Go, go out and talk."

The two walked to the end of the corridor in the ward. Zhou Ye leaned against the window and looked up at Lin Hongze: "You went to check Rong Zhao's birthplace and former residence." Of course he was talking about the real Rong Zhao.

Lin Hongze smiled, "Team Zhou is really well informed."

Zhou Ye and Rong Zhao had known for a long time that it would be fine if Lin Hongze didn't investigate. Once he started to investigate, it would be easy to find out that Rong Zhao's identity was replaced by someone else, and then Rong Zhao's real identity would be exposed.

Lin Hongze patted Zhou Ye on the shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as he hasn't committed a crime, I won't embarrass him, and I will help him find the remaining murderers."

"There are two photos on Liu Dahu's phone that he took back then. They were taken in the closed house before the tragedy happened. One of them captured a profile of Xu Yunliang's face, but his whereabouts are unknown now."

Zhou Ye turned his head and looked out of the window: "Then there are only two left, one is Anonymous, and the other is the mastermind behind the scenes. The mastermind behind the scenes is probably that bastard Su Jiaze."

Lin Hongze leaned against the wall: "There is only one left. According to the clues we have so far, we suspect that the nameless person is the mastermind behind the scenes."

Zhou Ye thought of what Rong Zhao had said to him. Liu Dahu told him that Wuming's sense of existence was very low, and he had never killed anyone from the beginning to the end. He was like an indifferent bystander.

Zhou Ye: "The behind-the-scenes mastermind carefully facilitated such a testing ground for human nature. Since his purpose is to draw Rong Zhao into his own world, it makes no sense not to watch it with his own eyes."

"He must be there because he wants to ensure Rong Zhao's safety and prevent someone from killing Rong Zhao by mistake," Zhou Ye said in a low voice. "Actually, even if my master doesn't show up, Rong Zhao will be fine. dead."

Lin Hongze patted Zhou Ye on the shoulder: "No matter what, it is a fact that your master saved Rong Zhao."

Zhou Ye: "Even if Su Jiaze appeared on the scene in person, he should have disguised himself. Otherwise, if Rong Zhao sees him and recognizes him, everything he has done will be in vain."

Lin Hongze nodded and agreed with Zhou Ye's words: "I have arranged someone to monitor Su Jiaze, it is impossible for him not to take the next step."

Lin Hongze paused for a moment and continued: "There is also Xu Yunliang, who wants to see people when he is born, and he wants to see corpses when he dies."

"Rong Zhao is injured. When he is discharged from the hospital, let him go back to the bureau. There are still many questions that need to be answered by him." The most important thing is why he didn't call the police when the tragedy happened that night, but chose to hide his name and replace the identity of others. Life.

In the ward, Wang Jinghua put the flowers she brought in a vase and told Rong Zhao about the affairs of the bureau.

"Ice Cream is fine, now I'm lying on my stomach in Team Zhou's office every day, waiting for you to go back. Xiao Zheng, the anti-drug agent, has sent an invitation and is about to get married. Dahua also has a boyfriend, who is from the gymnasium next door," Policeman Wang turned her head. Looking at Rong Zhao, "Brother Rong, you've only been missing for four or five days, why do I feel like it's been four or five months?"

"Team Zhou is the most pitiful. For him, these few days will last as long as four or five years."

Wang Jinghua sat down and said, "Fortunately, you have returned safely, and Team Zhou will be reinstated soon."

Rong Zhao frowned: "Reinstatement?" Isn't he on annual leave?

Wang Jinghua realized that she had slipped up, and wanted to make a joke, but Rong Zhao insisted, so she had to tell the truth.

"That night, after Li Junwei was caught, Team Zhou beat him up when the other party surrendered. If it weren't for Bai Xudong and the others, they would have killed him."

Policeman Wang said in a low voice, "Did you see Captain Zhou's hand? It was for beating someone. Li Junwei was dying at the time and was taken to the hospital for rescue. Fortunately, he was rescued. Otherwise, if he really beat someone to death, it was intentional or violent." Killed."
