riddle

Han Nuoshang was not in the ward at this time, and seemed to be going out to get something, so he left alone without telling Gu Ci.

Bored, Gu Ci reached out and took the apples beside him. These fruits were washed by Han Nuoshang and can be eaten directly.

He thought for a while, picked up his cell phone, and called Rong Mu.

"It's time for you to get ready... I've already taken care of it, and Yi Ming will assist you all the way... Looking forward to your good news."

When Han Nuoshang walked into the ward, Gu Ci was lazily leaning to one side, biting an apple in his mouth, and was scrolling through the pages with his mobile phone in his right hand, not knowing what he was doing.

His left hand and right foot were covered with a thick layer of plaster, and they could only be placed there motionless as decorations, so that it was so difficult for him to play with a mobile phone now.

"Gu Ci!" Han Nuoshang walked in with a smile, stood in front of Gu Ci and said softly, "Happy Birthday!"

With an apple in his mouth, Gu Ci raised his head and hummed to him twice to signal that he understood, then lowered his head to look at his phone, as if he was not interested in his blessing.

Han Nuoshang sighed, raised his hand and pulled the phone out of his hand, and also took off the apple he was biting.

Suddenly leaning over to meet his gaze, there seemed to be a trace of grievance in the eyes: "The phone is prettier than mine, isn't it?"

Gu Ci squinted his eyes, looked at his mobile phone which was already in the other party's hand, and said as if deliberately trying to annoy him: "Yeah, it's not so good-looking, there are many beautiful girls on it to chat with."

"Isn't it enough for me to chat with you? Then the girl is as good-looking as me? Huh?" The threat was full.

It's a pity that Gu Ci is a master who never fears threats from the other party. He said: "Captain Han, your narcissism seems to be getting worse and worse. This is not a good thing."

Han Nuoshang's eyes darkened, he raised his chin, and tapped his lips: "The more courageous I am, the more I want a gift."

"You can do whatever you want." Gu Ci blinked and said very calmly.

Han Nuoshang: "..."

This indifferent temperament is really helpless.

"Aren't you curious about what the gift is?" Han Nuoshang paused, then blinked his big eyes at him, "Aren't you curious about what I prepared for you?"

"Not curious." Gu Ci glanced at him, "Either take it out, or return the phone."

Han Nuoshang sighed, stood up resignedly, took out a box from his arms, sat on the side of the bed, and opened it in front of Gu Ci.

Inside the box is a delicate black stud earring, which is a very special style. Although it is black, it inexplicably gives people a feeling of facing the sun.

Gu Ci suddenly remembered that Han Nuoshang had been writing and drawing something a few days ago, and he still played it mysteriously to keep him from knowing.

Now that they are linked together, he can probably guess what he was thinking, and a hint of affection involuntarily appeared in his heart, which was a feeling he had never felt before.

"You designed this yourself!"

"Why can't you be stupid!" Han Nuoshang shook his head, took out the earrings, and gently put them on for him. "I wanted to give you a surprise."

“It’s a surprise now too!”

Gu Ci obeyed without any movement, Han Nuoshang put the earrings on him and took two steps back, staring at his face.

"It really suits you, it looks very handsome, um~ my design is still very good."

"Can the bureau allow me to bring this to work?" Gu Ci tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Han Nuoshang smiled and said: "It's okay, just report to Bureau Qin when the time comes, he will definitely agree."

Gu Ci nodded: "Thank you."

"By the way, the group of people in the team said they would come over to celebrate your birthday. It should be very lively later." Han Nuoshang raised his eyebrows, "Even in the hospital, you can also have a birthday party. "

Gu Ci glanced at him in surprise, and frowned slightly: "Just put down the work at hand like this? Come and celebrate my birthday, is it really good?"

"The case of Yang Song and Lan Yan is basically settled. Now the most important thing is Qin Zi's whereabouts. The suspicious people are also being watched." Han Nuoshang said, "It's good to relax properly."

"Um!"

"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you." Han Nuoshang paused, and added, "Unhealthy food is not allowed."

"Cake!" Speaking of which, he hasn't eaten his own birthday cake for 12 years!

Birthday cakes are interesting only when they are shared with others. He has no family or friends, let alone birthdays, so naturally he will not eat them. Even if it is someone else's birthday, he rarely participates.

"I'll go buy it for you." Han Nuoshang smoothed his hair, "The gang will come over later, just wait here for them."

Gu Ci glanced at him in surprise: "So fast?"

"Anyway, the case is not progressing now, and everyone is about to get stuck. They all want you to relax here! Speaking of which, you are the same. Since you are a patient, you should act like a patient." Han Nuoshang turned on his mobile phone, it was with someone else Chat page "You should take a rest, don't worry about it so much."

"I didn't do anything." He really didn't do anything, he just assigned tasks to others with one hand.

Han Nuoshang quit the chat page very forcefully, clicked on a small entertainment video for him, and then put the phone back in his hand.

"What you need now is to relax, not to find something to do for yourself." Han Nuoshang taught him solemnly, "Okay, I'll go buy cakes first, and you can figure it out."

Watching Han Nuoshang leave, Gu Ci lowered his head and looked at the video on his phone, thinking deeply.

"Deng Deng" There were two knocks on the door, and Gu Ci looked up.

"I've never been free before, and now I finally found time." Jin Zihe stood at the door with a bouquet of lilies in his arms, and smiled at him: "I know today is your birthday, so I came to see you."

Gu Ci nodded: "I have a heart."

Jin Zihe put the lily in her hand on the side cabinet, pulled over a chair and sat down on the side, she looked up at Gu Ci, as if she was thinking about something, a little hesitant.

"Teacher Jin, what do you want to say to me?" In the end, Gu Ci spoke first, breaking the awkward silence.

"That...Xiao Zi, do you have any news about her!"

"Sorry, the police have tried their best to look for it, but..." Gu Ci turned to look out the window, "There is no news yet."

"I see." Jin Zihe didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes turned red, "I hope nothing happens to her, it's all my fault... If I pay more attention to her, maybe there won't be such a thing It's over."

Gu Ci turned around and took a look at Jin Zihe, maybe - through Qin Zi, she thought of her family!

"You and Qin Zi have such a good relationship." Gu Ci just wanted to change the subject and break the depressed atmosphere.

"Well! She is a very good child and helped me a lot when I was in the orphanage. I like her very much and believe in me!"

Then Jin Zihe started chatting about Qinzi's many things in the orphanage, that child was just like her child... Gu Cidu just listened to her and looked at her quietly, as a listener No response.

"Sorry!" Jin Zihe seemed to know that he had said too much, and wiped his eyes with his hand, "I just couldn't accept that Xiao Zi disappeared for a while, she is like my daughter, I am very worried."

"I understand." Gu Ci smiled lightly at her.

"I still have something to do in the orphanage! I won't bother you for so long." Jin Zihe glanced at Gu Ci apologetically, stood up and walked to the door, looked back at him and said softly, "Little Gu, You have to live well!"

Before Gu Ci recalled the meaning of her words, Jin Zihe turned and left.

Gu Ci always inexplicably felt that what she said at the end was a bit weird, and turned his head to look at the bunch of lilies beside him. There seemed to be a small piece of paper sandwiched between the pink and white flowers.

Gu Ci stretched out his hand and fetched the small piece of paper. What was written on the piece of paper was just ordinary greetings, and every word was very correct... But these are not the point, the point is the smell on this piece of paper - pine scent .

Gu Ci knows that Jin Zihe is a person who pays attention to the quality of life. If I remember correctly, rosin is often burned in her office, so everything that has been placed in her office will be stained with a rosin smell.

There was such a smell on this piece of paper, and it was also the same smell in the letter that someone sent to Yi Ming before.

A terrible thought suddenly came to Gu Ci's mind, and the cold approached him instantly.

The phone rang. It was an unfamiliar phone number. Gu Ci jumped in his heart, frowned, and quickly pressed the answer button.

"Brother, it's me, I'm Xiaoling." The childish voice of the little girl came over the phone.

"Xiao Ling, why did you call me?" Gu Ci frowned, he naturally knew that Qin Ling was Qin Zi's younger sister.

Qin Ling's voice was a little timid: "I wrote down your phone number, and borrowed someone else's cell phone to call you."

"What's wrong with me?" Gu Ci suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, thinking about calming down the child first.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ling burst into tears: "Brother...I saw...it was Teacher Jin, she took my sister away."

"What?" Gu Ci's heart sank, his fingers suddenly tightened while gripping the phone, and his guess was confirmed.

"I don't know what to do... Teacher Jin looked so scary at that time... Brother, sister, will she be okay?"

Gu Ci didn't know what to do to react well, he couldn't even say words to comfort Qin Ling.

"Deputy team, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone in the criminal investigation team came over with gifts, and when they entered the door, they were at a loss when they saw Gu Ci's gloomy and pale face.

"Deputy team, are you okay?" Lin Chenyi waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Only then did Gu Ci raise his head to look at him, his eyes were full of haze, which seemed to shine straight into the bottom of people's hearts, which made Lin Chenyi take two steps back in fright.

"You go out first." Han Nuoshang saw this scene just after he came back, frowned, put the cake aside, and said to everyone.

Everyone didn't say anything, and retreated one after another. At this time, Han Nuoshang was definitely more useful than them. Before leaving, Ying Hongxue even helped him close the door.

Han Nuoshang walked straight towards him, raised one hand to cover his eyes, and the other to free Gu Ci's cell phone.

"Your hostility is a bit too strong, and everyone is scared, please put it away."

Gu Ci's hand had faded from the blood, and it was very cold. Han Nuoshang finally took out the phone, held his hand, and wanted to pass his own temperature to him, but he couldn't do it.

Han Nuoshang hugged him with one hand, and patted him on the back lightly: "I'll be with you, it's fine."

After a long time, Han Nuoshang finally felt his breath gradually calm down before releasing him.

The hands covering Gu Ci's eyes were also withdrawn, and Han Nuoshang saw that the haze in his eyes slowly dissipated and he regained his clarity.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

Gu Ci closed his eyes and said, "It's Jin Zihe, she is the one who took Qin Zi away."

"How could it be her?"

Han Nuoshang's eyebrows twitched. Although Jin Zihe was also on the list of suspects, no one had ever suspected her.

Gu Ci gritted his teeth, and said: "I don't know why it was her, Qin Ling saw with her own eyes that she took Qin Zi away, and...the letters received by Gu's idiots were also sent by her. "

He pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking of Jin Zihe's various expressions in front of him, it seemed so illusory now, and suddenly felt a faint headache...

Han Nuoshang immediately got up and called the group of people outside.

"Jin Zihe is the one who took Qinzi away." Han Nuoshang's shocking words shocked the group of people.

"What, what?"

"Chu Han, Zhiyue, let the colleagues who followed Jin Zihe bring her back, and Chen Yi goes to check Jin Zihe's life." Han Nuoshang ordered with a frown.

Song Zhiyue was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that she really didn't expect that this matter would be related to Jin Zihe. She seemed a pretty good person, and she didn't look like someone who would hurt those children.

Lin Chenyi also sat on the side and took out his computer to start working, Ying Hongxue was on the side to assist.

Bai Yinchen and the others came to help take care of the patient. After all, at such a time, that's what the forensic doctor can do.

Not long after, Song Zhiyue came back from the phone call, with a serious tone: "Boss, the colleague in charge of keeping an eye on Jin Zihe said they lost him."

"Did you lose it?" Han Nuoshang's eyebrows were tightly knit together, "How did you lose it?"

"They said that Jin Zihe's behavior has been normal for the past few days, and she treats those children as well as they can, so they relaxed their vigilance towards her." Song Zhiyue was helpless, in fact, she also didn't notice what was wrong with Jin Zihe. "Later they came to the hospital. Jin Zihe never went out after entering the hospital. Chu Han has already gone to the monitoring room to look for monitoring."

Han Nuoshang nodded, Lin Chenyi also had results.

"Judging from Jin Zihe's superficial resume, she used to be a university professor and had a happy family, but later this family was destroyed by a student who hated her."

Lin Chenyi turned the computer around, Gu Ci had told Han Nuoshang about these things.

"Most of these materials are true. I don't know what kind of experts have helped to modify them. In many cases, professional people may not be able to see the problem." Lin Chenyi clicked on another page of materials, "These materials are true and false. , It’s hard to identify which ones are real, so many things can’t be found out, and it took me a lot of effort to find out.”

Lin Chenyi took the water glass on one side and poured himself a glass of water, Ying Hongxue continued his words: "Jin Zihe has undergone plastic surgery for sex change."

"Plastic and transgender?" Several people in the ward stopped, and turned their heads to look at the two in disbelief.

"Yes, and he changed his name." Lin Chenyi sighed, "His original name is Jin Ke, a professor of the Department of Acting at Tongda University."

From the acting department, it's no wonder he's so good at pretending that so many people have been fooled by him.

"His wife and son were murdered 13 years ago. The details are not clear. Anyway, the suspect who killed his wife and son also died in a serial murder a year later..." Lin Chenyi hesitated. , or said, "...in fact, it is the first case of the case of the deputy team's family 12 years ago, and it is also the oldest of the five cases."

The remaining four families have children, and only the youngest family member in the first case has died.

Gu Ci's fingers tightened again, and Han Nuoshang quickly grabbed his hand to comfort him.

Hua Xiaolu frowned: "So he killed so many people to avenge his wife and son?"

Ying Hongxue shook her head: "I think there should be other reasons, but there is too little information about the case of Jin Ke's family, so I can't figure out why."

Chu Han also rushed over at this time, "The monitoring shows that Jin Zihe ran away from the underground parking lot of the hospital, but she disappeared after leaving the parking lot."

Han Nuoshang: "I have already contacted the people in the bureau, they have sent people to Jin Zihe's home, I wonder if they can find Qinzi."

"It's useless." Gu Ci suddenly remembered what Jin Zihe said to him before he left, "He has come to the end of the road, and now he just wants to drag me to hell with him."

Han Nuoshang frowned: "Gu Ci!"

The others also looked at him incomprehensibly, their eyes full of worry.

"Don't worry, he won't come to me directly for the time being." Gu Ci smiled at Han Nuoshang, "He will call me out directly."

"I don't allow you to leave the hospital." Han Nuoshang said coldly.

"But--do I have any other choice?" Gu Ci smiled wryly, "Don't forget, Qin Zi is still in his hands... Qin Ling is still waiting for her sister to go back, I can't let her have trouble .”

Han Nuoshang's fingers tightened, he knew that if something happened to Qin Zi this time, Gu Ci might not be able to get out of it for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Qin Zi and Gu Ci must be rescued.

At this moment, Han Nuoshang wished he could pull Jin Zihe out and shoot him twice.

But Gu Ci is right, he really has no other choice, this is the past that he has to face directly.

However, Han Nuoshang would rather face himself than Gu Ci...
