spirits in throat

"What kind of medicine is this?" Bai Xudong was grabbed by his sister and poured down half a cup of brown unknown liquid. "It's so bitter, it's not as good as Banlangen."

"Good medicine tastes bitter, you know fart," Bai Xiaoqing said as she took out a candy from her bag and threw it into Bai Xudong's mouth, "Eating a candy won't be bitter."

Bai Xudong felt very embarrassed when he was fed medicine and sugar under the watchful eyes of a group of people in the office, especially a few of them had already started to blatantly laugh at him.

Bai Xudong pulled Bai Xiaoqing to the corridor in front of the office, still feeling uneasy, walked forward again, and waited until he was far away from the office before saying: "Sister, can you stop coming here every day or two in the future, it will not affect you well. Besides, you Do you know what they nicknamed me behind my back?"

"I asked your brother-in-law to get medicine for you at the hospital. Take three tablets a day, one at a time, half an hour before or after meals." Bai Xiaoqing took out a box of cold medicine from her bag and handed it to Bai Xudong, "I feel sore If you don’t want to go down, smash it up and eat it, here’s a bag of fruit candy for you, if you feel bitter, eat the candy.”

"Sister, can you listen to me carefully?" Bai Xudong was very helpless, "Do you know what nickname they gave me?"

Bai Xiaoqing squinted her big eyes and asked with a smile, "What nickname?"

Bai Xudong looked around for no one, lowered his voice, and said hesitantly, "Bai Xiaobao."

Bai Xiaoqing burst into laughter, happily bumping into her younger brother's almost dark face, so she could only hold back her laughter: "It's too much."

Bai Xudong couldn't feel Bai Xiaoqing's anger at all, he only saw schadenfreude.

"Sister," Bai Xudong groaned angrily, and his voice was naturally not very good, "Don't come here anymore, come every day, come every day, others are laughing at me behind my back."

Bai Xiaoqing took out a bunny-shaped lollipop from her bag and handed it to Bai Xudong: "Others are envious of you and jealous of you. A good sister like me can't be found even with a lantern."

Bai Xudong was eager to get rid of his nickname of Bai Xiaobao, and refused to ask for a lollipop. The two pushed and shoved, and the lollipop fell to the ground with a soft "bang".

The rabbit's two long ears were broken.

Bai Xiaoqing squatted down to pick it up, a little disappointed: "If you don't take it, don't take it, why are you angry. Just don't forget to take the medicine."

"Do you have enough clothes to wear? Let's take you shopping for clothes this weekend."

"It's enough to wear, don't go," Bai Xudong stood by the wall, his face was a little impatient, "Sister, I'm almost thirty, don't worry about me all the time."

After the death of her parents, the siblings depended on each other. In order to take care of her younger brother, Bai Xiaoqing did not go to a regular university. She went out to work early, first as a waiter, and later as a medical salesman. Further study.I am now a gold medal sales manager.

The most difficult years were when Bai Xudong was in middle school.Adolescent boys grow tall and are in need of nutrition. Bai Xiaoqing ordered two servings of milk, saying that one serving per person.

Every day, Bai Xudong saw his sister bring his share of empty milk bottles home, and later he found out that they were empty bottles she bought for [-] cents each, just to let him drink his share of milk with peace of mind.

But sometimes, Bai Xiaoqing took care of him too much, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

If it’s too spicy, you can’t eat it. If it’s too cold, you can’t eat it. If it’s fried, you can’t eat it. Why don’t you wear long johns when it’s cold? Why don’t you drink mung bean soup when it’s hot?As long as he didn't go home to sleep after eleven o'clock in the evening, the phone could really be blown up.

This kind of bondage in the name of love often makes him feel suffocated.

Bai Xudong thought of Bai Xiaoqing's kindness to him, and also felt that what he said just now was a bit harsh, so he accepted it obediently: "Thank you sister, I will take the cold medicine on time."

Bai Xiaoqing smiled: "Alright then, I'll call you when the time comes, so you don't forget."

"No, I'm not a three-year-old kid," Bai Xudong frowned, "You have the energy to get bored with your brother-in-law. By the way, why doesn't brother-in-law come home for dinner recently? Is the hospital so busy?"

"Who said he doesn't come home often recently?" Bai Xiaoqing leaned against the wall, pinching the small paper stick on the lollipop, turning around, looking up with a bright smile, "No matter how busy he is, he will go home. Never spent the night in the hospital."

Bai Xudong hummed: "Then I'm going to work, and you should hurry to work too."

Bai Xiaoqing was still a little worried: "Okay, then be careful not to eat instant noodles with Zhou Zhou and the others, and don't eat the Mala Tang on the side of the road, it's not clean."

"Okay, okay," Bai Xudong casually said, turning around and walking towards the Criminal Investigation Office, "Definitely."

"Three meals must be eaten on time." Bai Xiaoqing knew that criminal police officers like them often missed meals when they were busy, and they were prone to stomach problems after a long time.

With a "ding", the elevator door opened.

Rong Zhao came out of the elevator, saw Bai Xiaoqing, recognized Bai Xudong's sister, and nodded.

Bai Xiaoqing likes this newly transferred little policeman very much. He is always quiet and doesn't like to talk much. Others will loot her snacks when she brings them, but he is the only one who stands aside and watches, very obedient.

Rong Zhao came out of the elevator, Bai Xiaoqing walked in, waved to Rong Zhao, and said with a smile: "Goodbye, Rongrong."

Rong Zhao has a good impression of Bai Xiaoqing, because she is a good sister.

He was a little envious of Bai Xudong.

"Rong Rong, get ready to go," Bai Xudong poked his head out from the door of the office, and shouted to Rong Zhao, "Go to the Second Hospital."

When they arrived at the property department of the Second Hospital, an enthusiastic aunt in her 50s received them.

"This is the renovation file from six years ago. It was not fully installed at that time, only the floor of the dean's room was installed." Aunt Wang pointed at the file, her eyes never moved away from Rong Zhao, "What does the young man belong to? "

Rong Zhao replied helplessly, while going through the renovation records with Bai Xudong.

"Then your zodiac sign is very suitable for my niece." Aunt Wang lowered her head and took out her mobile phone, pulled out a photo and handed it to Rong Zhao, "Look, this is my niece, who just graduated from university this year and works in a pharmaceutical company. Very lively and outgoing, which complements you."

Bai Xudong took a look, and teased Rong Zhao, "Don't tell me, this little girl is pretty."

Out of politeness, Rong Zhao glanced at Aunt Wang's mobile phone, and immediately put it aside: "I don't have any intentions in that regard at the moment."

Bai Xudong took Aunt Wang's mobile phone and looked at it a few more times: "Why does it look familiar to me, did you report to the Municipal Bureau?"

Aunt Wang put away her mobile phone: "Yes, just a few days ago, it rained heavily that night, she came home from work, my sister went to the bus stop to pick her up, and on the way home, the two met a strange person in an alley, oh, Like a ghost, it scared my sister so much that she almost passed out and lay on the bed for several days before recovering."

Bai Xudong turned his head to look at Rong Zhao, hugged his shoulders, smiled, and said in a low voice, "I seem to be scared by you."

Rong Zhao didn't say anything, because he was indeed frightened.

Rong Zhao is not used to intimate body movements with people, even when Bai Xudong put his shoulders on him very naturally.

Rong Zhao frowned: "Shoulder hurts."

Only then did Bai Xudong realize that Rong Zhao was injured, so he quickly put down his hands.

Bai Xudong took the hospital floor plan handed over by Aunt Wang and looked at it: "The ninth floor where the dean's office is located has a total of [-] rooms. The layout is basically the same, the difference is that the orientation is different."

"Aunt Wang, do you still remember any special events or accidents that happened in the Second Hospital six and a half years ago?"

"Six and a half years ago," Aunt Wang murmured and thought, "Yes, the police came to collect evidence at that time. It seemed that a patient beat up the doctor. It was a night clinic, on the fifth floor."

This time, Xiao Qian called and said that he had found out that there was indeed such a medical incident, which happened just before the three-second video, and he was now in contact with the procuratorate to retrieve the evidence collection surveillance from that year.

Zhou Ye personally took people to the procuratorate and found the surveillance from that year.

It was a picture of a corridor on the fifth floor of the outpatient building. A tall and strong patient dragged the doctor out of the consulting room by his clothes. The beating lasted for more than ten seconds.

Because it is a night outpatient clinic, there are not too many people, and the facial features of the crowd can be clearly seen.

Security guards came soon and stopped the patient's atrocities.

Zhou Ye's eyes were fixed on an elevator not far away. The elevator door opened, and a person came out from inside. Before the elevator door closed, Zhou Ye saw a person standing in the elevator, a person he knew.

Feng Mingchen, the attending physician of the Second People's Hospital, and Bai Xudong's brother-in-law.

There was a piece of red cloth floating around Feng Mingchen's leg, which could be speculated to be a short woman in a red dress.Because of the angle, the woman's face cannot be seen, only a pair of black high heels and a thin ankle can be seen.

The elevator closed and the flashing lights stopped on the ninth floor.

They went to the ninth floor, which was the floor of the newly renovated dean's office.

The time when the elevator reached the ninth floor was [-]:[-] in the evening.That three-second video is at [-]:[-].

The surveillance footage on the fifth floor continued until [-]:[-], when the police arrived at the crime scene and took away the troubled patient.The number on the elevator stayed at nine, and no one else went up there.

This is not surprising. The ENT clinics, gynecology, and cardiopulmonary function clinics on the sixth, seventh, and eighth floors from the fifth floor are closed at 06:30 pm, and there is no night clinic service, so no one goes there.The ninth floor has just been renovated, and it hasn't been officially put into use yet, and there will be no people there.

This surveillance video cannot directly prove that Feng Mingchen is guilty, but it can prove that he is suspected of committing the crime.

Zhou Ye called Bai Xudong: "Dongzi, you go back to the bureau. Let Rongrong wait for me at the same place."

Bai Xudong was very puzzled: "The investigation is good, why did you suddenly let me go back?"

Zhou Ye: "I'll tell you later."

After Bai Xudong was recalled, Aunt Wang forced Rong Zhao to stay and grabbed a handful of peanuts and melon seeds: "Aren't you waiting for someone? It's so hot outside, so just wait here. It's a pity that my niece is at work at this time." , or tell her to come over and take a look."

"My niece's name is Ye Qian. What's your name? I have a name testing website here to see if your names match."

"Come, come, eat watermelon, I just took it out of the refrigerator."

"Thank you," Rong Zhao got up, "I still have something to do, let's go first."

Aunt Wang really liked Rong Zhao so much, she grabbed his arm and refused to let him go: "Why don't you leave a phone call and come out for dinner later, and I will bring my niece with me."

Rong Zhao was so forced that he couldn't help it. He remembered the tried-and-tested escape plan that Bai Xudong taught him before he left, and blurted out in a hurry: "I don't like women."

No matter how much he refused before, Aunt Wang had been matching him and her niece as if she hadn't heard.

As soon as this sentence came out, Aunt Wang shut up all of a sudden, and comforted Rong Zhao in turn.

"In fact, when it comes to sexual orientation, whether you like the opposite sex or the same sex, you should be treated equally and respected. Xiao Ding in our office is very good with his boyfriend. We all wish them well."

"Those cheating marriages and wombs are hateful, and they ruined other girls' lives for nothing." Aunt Wang, like Director Qian, couldn't stop talking, "There used to be a gay man in our community. , married a girl on a blind date, and after giving birth to a child, she will be divorced, and she has been cheated miserably."

Rong Zhao was able to escape, and when he looked up, he saw Zhou Ye standing at the door of the property office.

The two walked out together.

For some reason, Rong Zhao felt awkward. Although it was unnecessary, he still explained to Zhou Ye: "Just now I said I don't like women, I lied to that aunt, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get away."

Zhou Ye reached out to hug Rong Zhao's shoulder, but Rong Zhao dodged and gave Zhou Ye a warning look, his eyes were fierce, you dare to try.

Zhou Ye walked under the shade of the tree and smiled in the shattered sunlight: "Got it, cutie."
