riddle

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was almost winter, and the wind became very strong in the evening, with a hint of chill, as if he couldn't wait to get into his warm body.

Han Nuoshang found Gu Ci who was sitting by the fence on the top of the building. Just like last time, he was still sitting in the same position, and I don't know if he recognized this position.

It's just that this time, Han Nuoshang didn't dare to be as casual as he was last time. He could tell that Gu Ci's current state was really bad.

He only wore a shirt and a suit jacket, and stared blankly at the gradually darkening sky in the distance.

Han Nuoshang looked at him sitting there in a daze, with his legs hanging outside the building, and he had an inexplicable feeling that this person might be overwhelmed at any time, and then he jumped down, and it was over.

He walked over and took off his coat and put it on him.

"Isn't it cold to run up here to have a shower while wearing so little?"

Gu Ci turned his head, glanced at the man who carefully put on his clothes, and smiled at him.

"thanks!"

The coat also carries the temperature of its owner, which is simply warm to the heart.

Han Nuoshang sat next to him, just like last time, blowing with him.

Han Nuoshang: "Let's have a chat, tell me what are you thinking now?"

"I'm thinking—why couldn't he come to me directly, why did he kill so many innocent people." Gu Ci's voice melted into the wind and reached Han Nuoshang's ears, "If 12 years ago, I would have died , wouldn't it be..."

"Gu Ci, I've said it before, it's not your fault!" Han Nuoshang interrupted him, he didn't want to hear Gu Ci talk like this, he shouldn't be like this, "You are also a victim, the real fault is Murderer! Not you, no one can blame you, including yourself."

Gu Ci turned his head, glanced at him, and really wanted to reply: Anyone who can blame him is dead.

Just looking at his serious expression, he didn't say anything because he was sensible.

Han Nuoshang: "Are you willing to believe me?"

Gu Ci was a little puzzled, and blinked his eyes, not understanding why he suddenly burst out with such a sentence.

"If we can catch the murderer, we will definitely punish the murderer." Han Nuoshang paused, and then continued, "I hope that by then, you can also come out and stop being bound by the past."

Han Nuoshang's eyes were very deep, and now they were more serious and shining. Gu Ci looked into his eyes and almost fell into them, but -- these eyes were not something he could have.

"Actually, this case is quite different from the one 20 years ago!" Gu Ci turned his head away, not paying attention to the man's eyes. He was afraid that he would become addicted and unable to wake up. murderer of my family."

Without the protection of his family, Gu Ci has gone through so many years of romance alone, and finally formed his current appearance. He is used to hiding his emotions in front of others, even when discussing the murderer of his family. Can be so calm and indifferent.

But in fact, would his heart really be so indifferent?

Han Nuoshang really wanted to know, how did this seemingly strong person manage to uncover his own scars again and again, but still remain indifferent?Is that heart full of scars already numb from the pain, and I don’t know what pain is anymore?

Seeing that the person next to him didn't answer, Gu Ci looked back and found that he was looking at him with very complicated eyes, wondering... Han Nuoshang also came back to his senses, and smiled at him embarrassedly .

"I always feel that even if this case is closed and the murderer is caught, it is still not over." He had a strong premonition in his heart, "I really shouldn't go back to China!"

Uncle Huang didn't agree with him coming back!

Huang Kai would rather Gu Ci live in country M all his life. If he didn't want to be alone, Huang Kai could fly over to accompany him without hesitation, but he still came back. He even became a criminal police officer, but at that time he firmly believed that he could do it.

But now he doubted whether his decision was really correct.

Han Nuoshang frowned: "What are you worrying about?"

"If I hadn't come back and he hadn't found me, such a thing wouldn't have happened to the Cheng and Hao families!" Gu Ci looked at his hands, "I just feel like I'm a murderer's accomplice!"

Han Nuoshang's heart trembled, and he stared at Gu Ci's face: "Gu Ci, listen to me, he is a murderer but you are not, even if you don't show up, there is no guarantee that he will come out to commit murder one day, This is not something you can solve, you are a policeman, not an accomplice!"

Gu Ci wanted to laugh a little, this person's comforting skills are actually not very good, but Gu Ci was inexplicably soothed like this.

After a long time, whenever Gu Ci thought about this incident, he felt that he must have been fascinated by his serious expression and this handsome face at that time, so he was appeased.

The two sat on the roof for a long time, and after blowing enough cold wind, they returned to the criminal investigation team's office. Gu Ci also returned Han Nuoshang's coat to him.

Ying Hongxue seemed to be doing a profile, and Gu Ci walked towards her.

Ying Hongxue was a little puzzled: "Deputy team, what's wrong?"

Gu Ci: "What you said before, I think I can try it."

It took Ying Hongxue three seconds to remember what she had said to Gu Ci, and another minute to digest Gu Ci's sudden compromise.

"Are you...really sure?"

Gu Ci nodded, pointed at Han Nuoshang beside him, and said, "But he has to stay by my side."

Ying Hongxue's surprised eyes lingered between the two for a while, and then she smiled and said, "No problem!"

Ying Hongxue closed all the doors and windows in Han Nuoshang's office, creating a relatively dark environment.

Han Nuoshang was still sitting on the side with a dazed face, until now he still doesn't know what he did here!

Gu Ci sat on the single sofa at one side, watching Ying Hongxue busy with work alone.

After she finished her work, she returned to sit next to the two of them.

"Captain, I want to hypnotize the deputy team later."

Han Nuoshang frowned, glanced at Gu Ci who was sitting on the side, hanging up high as nothing to do with himself, turned around and asked, "Is there any problem?"

He definitely wouldn't ask for a consultant's words. For this person, it's okay to have a problem.

Ying Hongxue was also a little entangled, thinking about her words: "It's just that the deputy team is a bit uncontrollable... I'm worried that it will have some bad influence on him."

Han Nuoshang: "For example?"

Ying Hongxue said truthfully: "I don't know either."

Han Nuoshang frowned even tighter: "Can't we not be hypnotized?"

At this time, Gu Ci who was silent on the side began to speak: "I've already decided!"

The meaning is clear - can't.

Ying Hongxue also echoed: "Actually, if you can remember the past, it might be a relief for the deputy team."

Han Nuoshang was still worried, but his eyes lingered between the two, as if he was unable to persuade them, and even if he could persuade Ying Hongxue, he would definitely not be able to deal with Gu Ci.

Ying Hongxue was right, Gu Ci was really uncontrollable, if Ying Hongxue didn't hypnotize him, who knows if he would go to another psychiatrist.

And Ying Hongxue's professional Han Nuoshang can still be trusted, but not everyone else!

Han Nuoshang closed his eyes as if admitting defeat, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed, "What do I need?"

Gu Ci raised his eyebrows, and exchanged a glance with Ying Hongxue.

Having Han Nuoshang by his side is of great help to Ying Hongxue. After all, Gu Ci actually doesn't trust her, but he still has some trust in Han Nuoshang. Having Han Nuoshang by his side can also lower his defense.

Ying Hongxue: "Deputy team, do you have any more important items?"

important?Gu Ci thought for a while, then took off the ring around his neck, and handed it to Ying Hongxue.

She took the ring and pushed Han Nuoshang who was sitting on the side: "Boss, you can ask him questions for me later!"

She intuitively felt that Han Nuoshang's questioning would definitely be much more effective than asking her.

Han Nuoshang thought for a moment, then said softly, "Yes! But what do you want to ask?"

"I have a professional folder of hypnosis questions, and I will write for you if there are no folders in the folder."

Han Nuoshang nodded and agreed with what she said.

The ring was thrown down, and it began to shake in front of Gu Ci following the pull of the chain, Gu Ci's eyes also lingered on the ring.

At this time, Ying Hongxue's voice also came softly, faintly seductive: "Now tell me, who do you care about?"

Gu Ci: "There are many, Uncle Huang, Huang Zhe..."

Ying Hongxue frowned: "Deputy team, what I need to hear is your truth, not perfunctory."

"..." Gu Ci blinked and leaned back on the sofa, "I...don't know."

He didn't know who else he cared about. If there was anything wrong with Uncle Huang and the others, Gu Ci would definitely be obliged to help them, but that wasn't caring, it was just a responsibility.

He regards those people as his own responsibility!

Doesn't he have someone he can trust and care about?How did he survive all these years!Listening to their conversation, Han Nuoshang couldn't help but feel his heart twitch.

And the conversation between the two is still going on...

With a snap of his fingers, Gu Ci slowly closed his eyes.

Ying Hongxue breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Gu Ci was not so easy to be hypnotized, but when they really met, Ying Hongxue herself, as a hypnotist, was exhausted too!

It took her more than half an hour to let Gu Ci really relax and enter a hypnotic state.

Ying Hongxue handed Han Nuoshang a folder on the side, and the rest was basically Han Nuoshang's personal work, and Ying Hongxue would assist on the side.

"Gu Ci, can you hear my voice now?"

Gu Ci's current state was a bit confused, as if he was in a chaotic space, he heard Han Nuoshang's voice, and instinctively gave his answer.

"can."

"Did you see it? There is a door in front of you, that is the door of your house..."

As if to confirm his words, such a door appeared in front of Gu Ci, which was exactly the same as the door of Gu's villa.

Han Nuoshang's voice was still slowly coming over, "Now——push the door open and walk in."

Want to walk in?Gu Ci hesitated, he was afraid of what would happen behind that door.

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen." Han Nuoshang grabbed Gu Ci's hand, even though he knew that he didn't feel his presence at all, he still hoped to send him some strength, "Be brave and go in." .”

Recently, Gu Ci's body seems to be very cold. It's not that he hasn't touched Gu Ci's skin before. It's just that his body temperature was normal at that time, but it's not as cold as it is now!

Gu Ci finally walked towards the door, he stretched out his hand and was hesitant to push it open... The door opened by itself, and he stepped in cautiously.

There were three people sitting inside, smiling back at him.

Han Nuoshang felt the smile on Gu Ci's face and said, "Tell me, what did you see?"

"Mom and Dad, and Xiaoqing!"

Han Nuoshang glanced at Ying Hongxue, Ying Hongxue picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the folder.

Looking at those few words, and taking a look at Gu Ci who rarely showed a real smile, Han Nuoshang actually got a little tangled up. Was this too cruel for Gu Ci? He looked at Ying Hongxue with a frown. glance.

Ying Hongxue just shook his head at him, Han Nuoshang gritted his teeth and took the folder.

"Alright, listen up, Gu Ci." Han Nuoshang suddenly tightened his fingers, trying to calm his tone, "You are ten years old this year, and today is November 11th."

Seeing the sudden change in the scene in front of him, Gu Ci couldn't help but frowned.

"Tell me, what did you see?"

"I saw... Mom and Dad, and... a little boy!"

The little boy, Han Nuoshang was startled, and he exchanged a glance with Ying Hongxue. It seems that no little boy was found in the murder case of the Gu family 12 years ago!

"Gu Ci, tell me, who is he?"

Gu Ci's fingers curled up, and he pursed his lips, obviously he didn't want to answer this question.

Han Nuoshang frowned, and looked at Ying Hongxue as if asking for help, and the latter wrote him a note: Try calling him by a more intimate name, so that he can let go of his wariness towards you.

As an intimate title, Han Nuoshang recalled the words he had heard others call Gu Ci for a long time.

"Little Gu..."

Gu Ci didn't respond.

"Small words..."

Still no response.

"Cici..."

Han Nuoshang didn't know how he could call it such a nasty title.

However, Gu Ci still did not intend to relax.

Han Nuoshang racked his brains to think about it... Suddenly, something popped out of his mind, an inexplicably familiar name: "A Ci..."

This time, Gu Ci's hands trembled, and the curled fingers were slowly released.

Han Nuoshang was a little surprised, he had never heard anyone call Gu Ci that way before.

"A Ci, tell me, who is that boy?"

"He's a friend... No, no." Gu Ci paused, and said coldly, "He doesn't deserve to be my friend, damn it!"

Both of them were taken aback, why would a boy get such inconsistent evaluation from Gu Ci, and even said he deserved to die.

"Very good, Ah Ci." Han Nuoshang's voice carried some lightness, but his face was serious, "Go inside, don't be afraid, tell me what happened?"

Gu Ci walked in according to his words...Suddenly his eyes went dark.

Big drops of sweat emerged from his forehead, Gu Ci's face suddenly turned pale, and his brows were tightly wrinkled.

"Xiaoqing... Xiaoqing is crying." Gu Ci seemed to be struggling, "Dad...Dad locked me in...in the closet, we made an appointment..."

Gu Ci seemed to be in a nightmare, and he grabbed Han Nuoshang's wrist with his backhand, causing him pain. One can imagine how much strength he used.

"Blood...a lot of blood...they...can't come back."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ci didn't grab Han Nuoshang's hand, his fingers pinched into his own flesh and blood, and the blood flowed out along his fingers.

"Ah Ci, it's okay, calm down!" Han Nuoshang endured the pain in his wrist and softly comforted Gu Ci.

However, this time, Gu Ci was not able to be appeased, his face was covered with water drops, Han Nuoshang quickly gave Ying Hongxue a look.

"Deputy team, I'll count to three now, get out of there, and wake up." Ying Hongxue also reacted, leaning against Gu Ci's ear, and said softly, "One, two, three."

Gu Ci suddenly opened his eyes, he still couldn't tell the difference between illusion and reality, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Deputy team, are you okay?" Ying Hongxue shook her hand in front of him.

Only then did Gu Ci come back to his senses, he gave him a weak look, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Sorry, I'm fine!"

"Brother, if it's okay, can you let go of my hand? It's almost useless." Han Nuoshang looked at his poor hand, which turned pale because of the lack of blood flow.

It was only then that Gu Ci came to his senses, and let go of his hand quickly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Han Nuoshang helplessly rubbed his poor wrist, glanced at Gu Ci's other hand that was still bleeding from the corner of his eye, ran to the desk, and took out the alcohol and gauze.

"Let go, you like self-torture, don't you?" Han Nuoshang pulled his wrist over, looked at the fingers that hadn't let go, and couldn't help frowning.

Only then did Gu Ci notice the scar on his hand.

Han Nuoshang carefully wiped off the blood on his hands and treated his wounds.

Ying Hongxue returned the ring in her hand to Gu Ci: "Deputy team, how much can you remember now?"

Gu Ci thought about it for a while and closed his eyes, "There was a boy, I don't know who he is, I was in the living room and was suddenly taken back to the room by my father, locked in a closet, and the room was full of blood."

I can't think of anything else.

Ying Hongxue sighed, Gu Ci's state is very dangerous, it seems that it would not be a good thing to remember those things now, and it seems that he can no longer hypnotize him now!

"Take a break first! I'm going out first."

Han Nuoshang watched Ying Hongxue leave, and then concentrated on wrapping Gu Ci with gauze.

"Take a break if you're tired, and I'll call you if something happens!"

Gu Ci nodded lightly, and quickly leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes. He is really tired now, and he really wants to sleep.
