Born in the dark, Ended in the dawn

Lu Yang anxiously walked back and forth outside the emergency room, watching the doctors and nurses busy coming in and out, and did not dare to disturb them. Yin Hang and Lu Wei also looked solemnly into the emergency room.

Not long ago, Lu Yang was awakened by the phone ringing suddenly in the middle of the night. The call was from Wei Lan's cell phone.He originally planned to visit Wei Lan after get off work, but he suddenly received an urgent order for renovation and worked overtime until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Seeing the call from Wei Lan, Lu Yang felt nervous for a while. He was afraid that there was some bad news from the hospital. Who would have thought that after answering the call, apart from the empty and strange background sound, there was only the sound of electric current.

Hanging up the phone and calling back was a busy tone. After a while, the weird phone rang again, but there was still no sound when answering the call, which made Lu Yang wonder if Wei Lan was playing some prank. Thinking about it, he thought it was impossible, Wei Lan was not Such a boring person would never disturb his friend's rest in the middle of the night.

I kept calling four or five times, but there was no sound. Finally, as if I had to give up, I suddenly sent a short message with no beginning and no end, only a few words, "Help, ward 1021"

The ward where Wei Lan lives is obviously 1020, why did he go to 1021 for help?With the doubts in his heart, Lu Yang didn't dare to neglect at all, and drove to the hospital in the car. On the way, he also contacted Yin Hang to help, just in case.Facts proved that his decision was correct. The management staff of the inpatient department stopped him from entering, which was normal, since there was no one who came to visit the doctor in the middle of the night, he had to move out of Yin Hang's cockpit, and then let him go.

Lu Yang held the doorknob of 1021, his heart was pounding, the metal handle was so cold that it hurt the palm of his hand, it seemed so unusual in this sultry summer night.There was no obstacle, the door was easily opened, and Lu Yang saw Wei Lan lying on the floor at a glance, followed by Yin Hang, seeing that something was wrong, he ran out and called the doctor to save him.

The breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, and the heart was beating weakly. Wei Lan's whole body was as wet as if he had been soaked in water.The doctor came quickly and quickly sent Wei Lan, who was unconscious, and Tang Li, who was leaning against the wall, into the emergency room.

The dazzling red light finally went out, the heavy door opened, and the doctor waved to the anxiously waiting people with a strange expression on his face.

"Doctor! How's the situation?"

The doctor pulled off his mask, frowning with an expression of not knowing how to speak.

"It's good or bad, you can say!" Yin Hang urged.

As if he had made up his mind, the doctor sighed and said hesitantly, "I don't know how to explain this situation. The patient is fine now, but he is overtired, but some symptoms show that the patient has suffered from drowning."

"Drowning? Are you kidding me?" Yin Hang couldn't help yelling, but Lu Wei pulled the hem of his clothes and asked in a low voice, "How could you drown in the ward?"

"I don't know." The doctor said honestly, obviously troubled, "We found a small amount of sand in the lady's mouth and nose, and some sewage in her stomach. As for your police officer friend..."

Several people did not dare to speak to urge them, and looked at the doctor eagerly, waiting for the next answer.

The doctor was a little embarrassed, coughed and cleared his throat, "Except for some sand and sand in his hair and clothes, his mouth, nose and stomach are clean, which is really strange."

Yes, this is indeed too strange. There is sand in the hair, which means that the water has covered the top of the head. Even if the sewage was not drunk into the stomach, at least the nasal cavity could not be spared. The current situation of Wei Lan is even more weird than that woman .More importantly, where can there be a lot of sewage in the ward that can submerge the whole person?Apart from the toilet and sink in the separate bathroom, there is nowhere to hold a lot of water.

"Please block the news about this matter, so that the nurses on duty tonight don't talk about it, just treat it as a heat stroke in the room." Yin Hang stared at the doctor seriously, "Others, just leave it to the police."

"Of course...Of course." The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly responded.It's not surprising that strange things happen occasionally in a special place like a hospital where life and death are mixed together. He has been a doctor for 30 years, and it's not like he hasn't encountered strange things before, but it's still as weird as today. first.Everyone understands the principle of being wise and protecting one's life, and he doesn't want to cause bad luck by meddling in other people's affairs.

Wei Lan, who was still in a coma, was sent back to the original ward 1020. The three of them tacitly did not say to leave. Even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they could still feel the danger. Dare to leave Wei Lan here alone again.

"What are you looking at?"

"Huh? No, nothing."

Yin Hang's question interrupted Lu Yang's fugue. From just now, Lu Yang felt that there was a cloud of mist surrounding Wei Lan. He looked carefully again, and the fog was so thin that it was difficult to distinguish.

At this moment, the cloud of mist that was so light that it was almost invisible also followed into the ward, perched blatantly beside Wei Lan's bed like this, making things behind the mist somewhat blurred.

Naturally, others couldn't see it, so Lu Yang didn't intend to explain anything. He was wondering where the fog came from. He was used to seeing ghosts since he was a child, and this was the first time he saw such a thing. In that fog, He couldn't feel any resentment or malice, and he couldn't help but wonder if those phone calls tonight might have come from this unknown fog.

After the tension and fatigue, once you relax, the sleepiness will double. The three of them staggered and occupied every corner of the ward that could be used for sleeping, and slept until dawn.

When Yin Hang woke up, Lu Yang was no longer in the ward, and there was still hot soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table. It seemed that he bought breakfast for them and went to work.Yin Hang, who turned his head to check Wei Lan's condition, was so frightened that he sat back on the empty bed.

"You bastard, didn't you squeak when you woke up? Stare at the sky and startle me." Yin Hang was indeed frightened. Wei Lan opened her beautiful eyes without blinking, her eyes were sharp. Staring at the roof in a daze, if his chest was not heaving up and down due to breathing, he would have suspected that Wei Lan was trying to cheat the corpse.

"I'm going to hell again." Wei Lan stated flatly, with no waves in his tone, as if forcibly stripping away fear and anxiety, leaving only empty calm.

Seeing Wei Lan speaking in such a weird tone, Yin Hang felt very uncomfortable. The most energetic and positive person in the entire criminal investigation team was Wei Lan. It is absolutely sunny, even if he is lazy all day long, he can't hide the upright and clean temperament exuding from the inside out.

At this moment, this person lost his original agility, and his expression was unprecedentedly dull.

"It started after waking up from that coma." Wei Lan said without any emotional ups and downs, "What happened? Why didn't anyone want to tell me? Did they not know or didn't want to tell? Is playing around with a drum fun?"

Yin Hang thought it over and chose the most appropriate wording, "There are factors that I don't know, but most of them can't be said, in fact..."

"Actually what?"

"Actually, not knowing is the best state." Lu Wei's tone was colder than Wei Lan's. He felt a little uncomfortable with Wei Lan's sudden awkwardness. It was not up to them to decide whether to talk about it or not. "If you don't want to be 'purged', keep the status quo."

Unexpectedly, Lu Wei would contradict Wei Lan like this. When Wei Lan finally made a move and turned to Lu Wei with slightly angry eyes, Yin Hang subconsciously pulled Lu Wei behind him to protect him, "Brother Wei, don't blame the little boy for this." Wei, after all, you are the person involved in the whole incident. It was originally a confidential task, and the higher authorities will not let us know too much. As for what happened later, it is really hard to say. No one can determine what the truth is, only you can rely on yourself Remember, but even if you do remember one day, it's best to pretend you don't."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Brother Wei, Liu An hasn't shown up for a while, aren't you curious?" Yin Hang asked back, knowing that Wei Lan was waiting for him to continue explaining, so he didn't pause, and continued, "Just because he spread radical remarks, I was called by the superiors to have a talk, and if the talk is good, I can come back, but if the talk is not good, I can’t come back.”

Seeing that Wei Lan frowned and wanted to ask again, Yin Hang quickly answered and blocked Wei Lan's mouth, "I can only say so much, even if it's for the benefit of us brothers, don't ask, it will be natural when the boat reaches the bridge." Straight, you taught us this principle, Brother Wei."

What Yin Hang said is right, what's the use of forcing them, Wei Lan is not such a messy person, sighed, and eased his tone, "Then I will ask you one last question, you just need to answer truthfully Yes or no."

"Okay." Yin Hang hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Wei Lan's request. He had a bad feeling. He guessed that the question Wei Lan was about to ask was a scar that they were unwilling to uncover, but this matter has always been It's okay to be fooled, Wei Lan, as the person involved, has the right to know the truth, even if it's some scattered fragments.What's more, Yin Hang really didn't know, and he didn't have to say what he wanted to say. He was qualified to answer with only this little fragment.

As if organizing language, or doing psychological construction, Wei Lan fell into a long silence. No one interrupted Wei Lan's meditation, and the ward was so quiet that only the slight sound of breathing could be heard.

Finally, Wei Lan opened his mouth, and asked the question that he had been entangled with for a long time as if he had made up his mind. Did I cause it directly? Answer yes or no."

"Yes." The answer that had been prepared was poured out decisively and calmly.What should come will always come, there is no way to avoid it, Yin Hang replied with a wry smile.

Seeing the wavering in Wei Lan's eyes, Yin Hang couldn't bear it, "But there is one thing I hope you can remember. Seeing is not necessarily believing. You must at least believe in yourself so that we can trust you with confidence. Brother Wei, We will wait for you to return to the game and have a good rest."
