riddle

After Jin Zihe was shot, Han Nuoshang and others who were squatting below also rushed over quickly, and they all looked at Gu Ci worriedly.

Gu Ci himself acted as if nothing happened, he raised his head and glanced at the criminal investigation team surrounding him.

"Help me send her to the hospital, do a full body check, and send her back to the orphanage after confirming that she is fine."

Song Zhiyue nodded quickly, and lifted Qin Zi from Gu Ci's arms.

Han Nuoshang picked up the gun from the ground and weighed it in his hand. He somehow felt that the gun looked familiar, so he subconsciously touched his lower back...

"Okay! Deputy Captain Gu, I didn't expect you to study how to steal things." Han Nuoshang was helpless, it turned out to be his own gun.

"Team Han." Gu Ci raised his eyes and smiled, "That's because your vigilance against me is too low."

"..." He didn't know how to refute, and finally sighed, "Let's go, I'll take you back to the hospital first."

"I don't want to go back to the hospital." Gu Ci tapped his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, "I want to go home."

Han Nuoshang nodded: "Yes, but you have to go to the hospital for an examination first, and then go back after confirming that everything is fine."

"Up to you." Gu Ci said indifferently.

"Chi..." Han Nuoshang laughed, walked to the front of the wheelchair, and picked him up.

Gu Ci's eyes dimmed: "What are you doing?"

"The downhill road here is a bit steep, and it is difficult for wheelchairs to walk."

"..." Why did he feel that something was weird, he felt like he had fallen into a pit.

Fortunately, everyone present had work to do, and no one noticed the interaction between them. In the end, they found that Gu Ci's wheelchair had left the crime scene inexplicably, and everything else was normal.

In the car, Han Nuoshang fell silent for no reason after putting Gu Ci in the car. Gu Ci always felt that something was wrong with him like this.

"Han team, are you in a bad mood?"

Han Nuoshang squinted at him: "Nonsense, if I put a gun on my head and threaten the prisoner, will you be in a good mood?"

"..." Gu Ci choked on him.

If Han Nuoshang held a gun to his head... Gu Ci couldn't help but shudder, that's really unimaginable.

"I'm sorry, but this is the only way I can do it!"

"I know... I know this is the best choice, but when I see the gun pointed at you, the feeling of being caught in my heart is really uncomfortable!" Han Nuoshang sighed.

They are the police, he can understand Gu Ci's approach, but understanding and acceptance are two completely different concepts!

"..." Gu Ci didn't speak.

Han Nuoshang glanced at him: "It's just this time, don't make another example, do you understand?"

"know."

It was almost evening when we returned home from the hospital, the setting sun would never set in the sky, and the last rays of the sun peeped into the balcony of Han Nuoshang's house.

Gu Ci sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the family portrait on the wall in a daze.

When Han Nuoshang helped Gu Ci move, he hung this photo in the most conspicuous place in the living room, Gu Ci could see it just by looking up.

Twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Ci has long since lost the immature appearance of that little boy back then!

When Jin Zihe died in front of him, Gu Ci suddenly felt that the previous events were like a dream, and in a blink of an eye, everything was different.

It turned out that it had been so long, and the people in his memory had been away for so long, so long that he almost couldn't remember it!

"Father, how do you feel when you see me now? Will you be disappointed because I have become so sensitive and cruel? Or will you be happy that I have grown up successfully!" Gu Ci looked at the photo Gu Qiyu, who was smiling brightly, suddenly felt a little strange.

"It's time to eat." Han Nuoshang brought all the food over and placed it in front of him, "Why are you in a daze?"

"I miss my dad a little bit!"

"..." Han Nuoshang didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only hug him into his arms, "It's okay, from now on...my dad will also be your dad."

"..." Gu Ci looked at Han Nuoshang and suddenly smiled.

This time it was a sincere, innocent, joyful smile.

Han Nuoshang didn't react for a moment, he was stunned for a while, then he also put on a smile, and pecked at the corner of his mouth: "You should smile more, it's so pretty."

"I just think Captain Han has the feeling of being a good wife and mother." I don't know if my father felt the same way when he looked at his mother many years ago.

"Yeah!" Han Nuoshang actually agreed with him, stroking his hair, "She is your good wife and mother."

Gu Ci raised his eyebrows: "Then mother, please sit down!"

"It will be New Year's Day in a few days, you and I will go back to my parents!"

"Huh?" Gu Ci paused for a moment while picking up the vegetables, "Are you... sure?"

Han Nuoshang nodded, indicating that he was very sure and there was no question.

Gu Ci looked at him for a while, then retracted his chopsticks, and looked at him seriously: "Are you sure not to think about it again!"

"What are you thinking about?" Han Nuoshang looked at him in confusion.

"I don't think I'm fit to meet your parents with my body injury!"

"It's almost time for the cast to come off in a few days, and you'll be able to walk without a problem, and they won't be able to tell."

"..." Gu Ci had nothing to say.

All right! Let's go, anyway, it's not like I haven't seen it before, but this time the identity is a little different, and I always feel that something is weird.

……

Prisons always give people a bad feeling. Whether they are arrested and locked up here or just come to visit, there is a sense of depression.

This feeling is even more obvious when it comes to Gu Ci. He directly expressed his disgust towards this place, and was extremely resistant in his heart, but he insisted not to show it.

"Or, let's not go."

Han Nuoshang frowned, he could feel Gu Ci's resistance to this place, since he stepped here, Gu Ci's tightly knit eyebrows never let go.

And Gu Ci was going to meet that person, Han Nuoshang actually didn't want Gu Ci to meet that person in his own selfishness.

"It's okay, it's not serious, I still want to ask."

When I got up together this morning, Gu Ci suddenly said that there are some things I want to understand, and I want to see Qi Zhao!

Han Nuoshang didn't want them to meet at first, but he firmly stated his position, saying that he would not come with Gu Ci.

It's just that Gu Ci's cold eyes followed him all morning, making Han Nuoshang trembling all morning, so he had no choice but to accompany him here.

Gu Ci wanted to know who was behind the scenes. Jin Zihe was dead, and now he could only attack Qi Zhao who was still alive.

The hard-fated Han team had no choice but to push the wheelchair and walk inside, hoping for a quick fix.

"Speaking of which, what you said to Jin Zihe, um..." Han Nuoshang considered his words.

"You want to say how I know those things?" Gu Ci raised his eyebrows and asked.

Han Nuoshang nodded.

"Actually, I don't know." Gu Ci reached out and tapped his temple, "It's all my guess, combined with my mood when I just lost my family ten years ago."

Han Nuoshang's grip on the wheelchair suddenly tightened. No matter how long it had been, every time he heard Gu Ci say these words, he couldn't help but feel frightened.

"I just wanted to be fooled. Even if I didn't get it right, I can think of other ways. What I didn't expect is that I guessed it all right." Gu Ci spread his hands, "Maybe, that person just picked this kind of traumatized people to attack. , or these traumas were created by him.”

"Gu Ci, you..." Han Nuoshang's tone was full of worry.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Gu Ci sensed Han Nuoshang's unstable mood, and patted the back of his hand, "And you also said that you will always be with me."

"Well! I will always be by your side." Han Nuoshang felt relieved and smiled at him.

He is willing to believe Gu Ci's promise to him, as long as he says it's fine, then it's fine.

Qi Zhao seems to be nothing special, but he is actually a very dangerous person, so he is locked in a special prison.

The cell was surrounded by white walls, and there was nothing inside except a bed, and Qi Zhao was sitting on the bed inside, wearing a white prison uniform.

Han Nuoshang and Gu Ci looked in.

Even though he is already in prison, Qi Zhao still has the feeling of disobedience when they met for the first time - he is obviously a person who lives in darkness, but he has a sunny appearance.

Han Nuoshang pushed Gu Ci and walked in slowly.

Qi Zhao saw Gu Ci sitting in the wheelchair at a glance: "Are you injured? Who did it?"

He stood up, eyes full of distress, and wanted to walk towards Gu Ci, but the shackles on his feet prevented him from moving forward.

"You know what I'm here for." Gu Ci answered irrelevantly.

"I know, I know." Qi Zhao froze for a moment, then sat back in his seat and smiled at him, "But why did I say it?"

"Haven't you been waiting for me to ask?" Gu Ci raised his eyes and glanced at him, "I'm here now, are you still not satisfied?"

"Satisfied, I want to see you." Qi Zhao laughed, with inexplicable infatuation in his eyes.

Han Nuoshang was very displeased with his eyes, and subconsciously stood in front of Gu Ci, blocking Qi Zhao's sight.

Qi Zhao felt displeased and looked at him very unhappy.

"Team Han!" Gu Ci reached out to give him a hand, pulled him to his side, and looked at Qi Zhao, "I want to know who the person who helped you is."

"I'm willing to tell you everything you want to know, but I don't know who he is, and I haven't seen his face..." Qi Zhao paused, but his eyes never left Gu Ci's body for a moment, "No, I should have seen his face, but I don't remember."

"Why don't you remember?" Han Nuoshang frowned.

Qi Zhao glanced at him with some displeasure, with jealousy and various emotions in his eyes.

Han Nuoshang still enjoys his jealousy, Gu Ci is his, and no one can take it away.

"I don't know, he is very powerful, and he can always make others trust him easily." Qi Zhao paused, "He is a very strong person, or a god-like existence. When I am in a bad mood, , talk to him and you'll be fine."

Gu Ci and Han Nuoshang looked at each other, how could they feel that the person Qi Zhao was talking about would brainwash people! And he seemed to understand people's hearts quite well.

"I've known him since I was very young. I'm an orphan, so I especially hate those children with happy families...but you are the exception. I like you the most." Qi Zhao smiled and looked at Gu Ci.

Gu Ci's heart was always calm, and there was no disturbance caused by this person's words or anything else.

"I used to do whatever he asked me to do. Seeing the happy families being torn apart made me feel happy." Qi Zhao's eyes flashed a glint of darkness, which is even more so when it matches his appearance. violation.

Gu Ci looked up: "You didn't listen to him anymore?"

Qi Zhao shook his head.

"No, I regret hurting your family, so I didn't help him anymore." Qi Zhao said here, looking at Gu Ci with a twinkle in his eyes, "But he came to help me, the one who injected you with anesthesia that day He's who he is, I don't know why he's there, but he just helps me."

It's okay not to mention this, but as soon as Han Nuoshang mentioned this, he remembered Gu Ci's blood-stained appearance, and he was still lying on the hospital bed for half a month, wishing Qi Zhao could go back and lie down for another half month.

"Besides these, what else do you know?"

Qi Zhao shook his head.

"Forget it, let's go!" Gu Ci pulled Han Nuoshang over, ready to leave.

That's all Qi Zhao knew, and there was nothing more to ask.

"Wait a moment!"

Qi Zhao suddenly called out to them, and both of them looked up at him.

"Gu Ci, if I hadn't opened the door for that person and didn't hurt your family, would you have liked me?" When Qi Zhao said this, there was still some hope in his eyes.

"will not."

It's just that Gu Ci spoke decisively, breaking all his hopes.

Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

"what why?"

"I can become better for you, and I can be a very kind person, but even if I didn't harm your family at that time, you still don't want to like me, why?" Qi Zhao's eyes showed a hint of sadness meaning.

Gu Ci smiled at him: "A human heart is actually very small. Once one person is put in it, there will be no room for others."

Seeing his smile, Qi Zhao froze for a moment, pointed at Han Nuoshang, and said viciously, "What's so good about this man? Do you like him so much?"

"I don't know what is good about him, but I know that he lived in my heart when I was seven years old, and he is the only one."

After speaking, he pulled Han Nuo Shang's hand, and Han Nuo Shang immediately turned around and pushed him away, ignoring the lingering gaze behind him.

All these words he said were just expressing his own heart, not to anger Qi Zhao on purpose, Han Nuoshang naturally understood.

Outside the prison, Han Nuoshang hugged Gu Ci into the driver's seat, and suddenly remembered something: "I remember I asked you why you built an orphanage before."

"Um!"

I still remember that Gu Ci's answer at that time was 'redemption', but we didn't talk any more after that.

Han Nuoshang: "Can you tell me, what's on your mind?"

"There's nothing you can't say." Gu Ci looked up at him, "Xiaoqing was only eight years old at the time, and I had promised her that when she grew up, I would take her to travel around the world, protect her for the rest of my life, and be her best." Brother's!"

Han Nuoshang could probably guess why, and looked at him with some distress.

Gu Ci caressed his face, and touched his lips: "But I broke my promise, I didn't protect her well, and the promises I made before are impossible to come true!"

"Those children are your debt to Gu Qing, right?"

"Ok!"

Han Nuoshang smiled: "I'm very glad that you are willing to speak out."

Gu Ci raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Han Nuoshang looked into his eyes seriously: "You always hide your heart so deeply that I almost can't find my own existence. You are willing to speak out what is in your heart. You are still important."

"It's always been important." Gu Ci said, "It's been important since childhood."

"Yeah! I know." Han Nuoshang rubbed the broken hair on his forehead, "Okay, let's go home."

"it is good!"
