It was [-]:[-] in the morning when Nie Qing arrived at Xinhua Town People's Hospital.

When he arrived, he went directly to the third floor and saw his two brothers guarding the door of Mu Xi Ze's ward, so he walked over and patted them on the shoulder and said "Thank you", then opened the door and walked in .

"You're here." Su Ji turned around after hearing the voice, holding a porridge in a takeaway box and a spoon in his hand, and it looked like he was feeding Mu Xi Ze.

Nie Qing felt goosebumps all over her body for no reason. She stood by the door and cleared her throat before walking over. Looking at Mu Xi Ze who was leaning on the bed, she asked, "How's it going?"

"That's it..." Mu Xi Ze was a little weak, and after waiting for two seconds, he said: "Team Leader Nie is in such a hurry to come here, there must be something very important?"

How could Nie Qing fail to hear the implied dissatisfaction in his words, but seeing that she was indeed pushing too hard this time, she nodded and said apologetically, "It's very important, otherwise I wouldn't Forgive me for coming to you right after your surgery."

"Team Leader Nie is too polite... I should help..." Mu Xize smiled at Nie Qing, "Please sit down..."

"En." Nie Qing brought another chair over, put it next to Su Ji, and sat down beside him.

"Nie Qing, Caesar's spirit won't last long, so if you have any questions, ask the important ones first, and the rest can wait until tomorrow." Su Ji settled down with some worry.

Nie Qing nodded, "I understand, I'll ask the most important thing first. It's mainly about the shooting."

"Alright..." Mu Xi Ze nodded slightly, "What do you want to know?"

"I want to know, what details do you remember about the shooting?" Nie Qing said, glanced at Su Ji, and said, "I heard from the secretary that you immediately found out that someone was going to attack your place. How did you find out? Do you remember where the shooter was? Did you see his face clearly?"

"This……"

"Can't you ask them one by one?" Before Mu Xi Ze could answer, Su Ji gave Nie Qing a reproachful look, "You know that he is not in good spirits, but you still ask so many questions in one go, why don't you ask?" Aren't you afraid he won't remember?"

"Don't be afraid, I trust his IQ." Nie Qing looked at Mu Xize and said.

Mu Xi Ze couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Thanks to Team Leader Nie for appreciating it... However, I can remember your question, but I may not be able to answer it... I will try my best..."

"Well, just say whatever you can think of." Nie Qing said "considerately".

Mu Xi Ze nodded, "Okay..."

After answering, he let himself sit up straighter, pulled himself together and said: "Actually, at that moment, I didn't realize that someone was going to shoot us. I just saw it in the corner of my eye, as if There was something reflective, and the subconscious felt that it might be dangerous, so I protected Xiao Ji first..."

"Caesar..." Su Ji looked at him, then lowered his head again.

Nie Qing stretched out his hand and patted Su Ji's leg twice, and then asked: "Can the reflection of light only make you alert? Is there any other situation?"

"Probably not, I don't care about observing so carefully..." Mu Xi Ze seemed to be thinking carefully, his brows were tightly frowned, "I just remember that the location of the reflection should be in the southwest of us, the distance... is about No. 220. As for the shooter's appearance, I really didn't see clearly... I can't even determine whether the bullet came from outside the house or from the house..."

Hearing that his description was not much different from what Su Ji said before, Nie Qing nodded, "It's really hard to be sure. When we came out of the house, the bullet that grazed Yu Sheng's abdomen should have come from the street number It was shot from a certain house on this side. There were at least two shooters."

"So that's how it is...how is Brother Yu now?" Mu Xi Ze asked with concern.

"Fortunately..." When Nie Qing mentioned Yu Sheng, he became worried again. He had to force his thoughts to focus on the current problem, took a deep breath and said, "Let's not talk about him now, I have one last question to think about." ask you."

"Please speak." Mu Xi Ze was clearly exhausted, and his voice became softer.

Seeing this, Nie Qing sped up her speech, "What I want to ask is, before we went to Funing County yesterday, did you know what was going to happen next?"

"What?" Mu Xi Ze stared at Nie Qing in a daze.

Su Ji also turned to look at Nie Qing, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"Sorry, I know it's too straightforward to ask. In fact, I don't have to express my doubts and continue to investigate you in private." Nie Qing paused here, and turned to look at Su Ji, "But, After all, you saved the secretary’s life this time, so we owe you a big favor no matter what, so I think we might as well cut to the chase and stop hiding it.”

"Nie Qing..." Su Ji's expression was very complicated, as if he hesitated to speak.

Nie Qing put one hand on his knee and continued to say to Mu Xi Ze: "Frankly speaking, I have always felt that you approached the secretary on purpose from the beginning. Although I don't know what your purpose is, it is definitely not a simple act Because of the reason of 'the same people who have fallen in the end of the world'. So, after yesterday's shooting, when I heard from the secretary that you were injured to protect him, I did have doubts in my heart. I doubt that you are likely to related to, or even involved in, this shooting."

"How is this possible..." Su Ji couldn't help sighing in a low voice.

And Mu Xize closed his eyes as if very tired, avoiding Nie Qing's sight, and had to admit that Nie Qing's intuition was a little bit right.

"However, after I thought about it carefully, I feel that this guess is unlikely." Nie Qing sighed softly at this moment, and continued: "No matter what your reason for approaching the secretary is, you must regard yourself as alive. Preconditions. In exchange for his trust through intentional injury, or a gunshot wound that almost hit the heart, it seems a bit stupid, unlike what you would do."

"Cough-cough cough..." Mu Xi Ze felt that he had been shot by an arrow in his knee for no reason, and he coughed suddenly after being choked, and then his chest started to hurt again.

"Caesar!" Su Ji hurriedly stood up to support him, and while helping him follow his back, he glared at Nie Qing, "Why are you still sitting? Go get water!"

"... Oh." Nie Qing realized that he had really become "Friend No. [-]" in front of Su Ji, and felt a little desolate.

He picked up Musize's ceramic cup and poured a full cup of hot water, carefully bringing it over, but was scolded by Su Ji again, "When will you cool down after drinking so much?"

"...Didn't he stop coughing?" Nie Qing really couldn't hold back the disgust in his eyes, glanced at someone who was leaning against Su Ji's arms and gasping for breath, and said, "Let him drink it directly, the thermos has the thermal insulation performance. It's not that good, the water is no longer hot. If you don't believe me, take a sip and try it?"

After hearing this, Su Ji took the cup suspiciously, put it to his lips and took a sip, and found that it was really not hot, so he gave it to Mu Xi Ze with confidence.

"Ahem... Team Leader Nie..." Mu Xize drank a few sips of water, his breath finally calmed down, and he looked at Nie Qing and said, "Thank you for telling me frankly... Although... I heard you say so. Doubt me... I, I am somewhat hit... But let's put it this way... It's better than constantly suspecting and tempting each other..."

"Well, it's good if you can think so." Nie Qing ignored Su Jiwei's protesting eyes, and asked, "Then what is your answer? Did you know before we went?"

"I don't know." Mu Xi Ze's eyes became serious, and he said word by word.

"What if I ask you to swear in the name of the secretary?" Nie Qing asked again.

Mu Xize couldn't help but look at Su Ji, and then nodded solemnly: "I swear in the name of Xiao Ji, I never knew before I went." After speaking, Mu Xize seemed relieved, and asked Nie Qing : "Now you should believe it, right?"

"Want to hear the truth?" Nie Qing looked at him indifferently, "Actually, I don't really believe it. After all, I've never been interested in swearing."

Mu Xi Ze: "...cough cough——"

Su Ji: "Nie Qing—"

"However," Nie Qing changed the subject again, "It doesn't matter if the listener believes it or not, as long as the speaker believes it. Today, in front of the secretary, I will believe you just once."

"Thank you..." Mu Xi Ze seemed to have no strength after saying this, and his head slowly slid to the side. Su Ji quickly supported him with his hands, and let him rest on the pillow gently.

"Nie Qing, come here first today." Su Ji looked at Mu Xi Ze worriedly and said.

Nie Qing hummed, "I've basically finished asking all I want to ask, let him have a good rest."

Su Ji nodded slightly, and after covering Mu Xi Ze with the quilt, he motioned for Nie Qing to leave the ward with him.

"Do you have something else to tell me?" Seeing Su Ji's serious face, Nie Qing was not in a relaxed mood, so he deliberately teased: "Don't tell me, you are going to promise him yourself. "

"... What I want to tell you is a serious matter." Su Ji bit her lower lip lightly, and raised her head a little hesitantly, "It's just...you told me last night that my dad might have some disgraceful things After that, I probably have some ideas."

"Speak, I'll listen." Nie Qing looked at him seriously.

Su Ji nodded, took a moment to consider his words, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, I have always been skeptical about the source of our family's property. No matter how powerful my father is, as a doctor, his right It is impossible for the income to reach such a high level... But because of the relationship between me and him, although I have doubts in my heart, I have never been able to ask him personally, where did the money come from. "

"Secretary..." Nie Qing squeezed Su Ji's shoulder, "Don't think too much. Even if Dean Su really did something, it has nothing to do with you."

"I don't want to talk about this." Su Ji sighed, "I just want to tell you that if necessary, I can call up all the passbooks and card deposits and remittance records at home to show you. Although I don't know if it will be useful ...but now I can't help but think of this. If you want to find out the source of my dad's funds, just tell me, anyway, the money and assets are in my name now... I am free dominate."

This was a good proposal, but Nie hesitated after listening to it.

"Secretary, you don't have to do this. I still need to investigate the clues I have for a while. After I finish the investigation, if there is still no progress, I will ask you for help." Nie Qing thought for a while and said.

Su Ji nodded slightly, "Alright, it depends on your needs."

"Are you okay?" Nie Qing felt that Su Ji's spirit was not looking good, so he persuaded him: "Don't make yourself too tired, isn't there still my people here? You ask them to help take care of him." Musize, take some time to rest for a while."

"I'm fine." After Su Ji said this, he looked at Nie Qing hesitantly, "Actually... I should go out this afternoon, and I need to prepare for some things..."

"What are you going to prepare? Do you need my help?" Nie Qing has not yet reacted.

Su Ji shook his head, then lowered his head slightly and said, "No need to help. Tomorrow is the day my father is buried...so..."

"..."

Nie Qing finally understood now.

By eleven o'clock tonight, Su Yongdeng had been away for seven days.

No matter what he did or experienced during his lifetime, since the person has passed away, he must be buried in peace after all.

Nie Qing never expected that she would forget about Su Yongdeng's funeral.
