Haicheng Criminal Investigation Bureau

It was past eleven o'clock in the night, which was supposed to be the time when everything was still and sleepy, but the small building deep in Ruyin Lane was brightly lit. Cui Lueshang and Ling Yue stood guard outside the door of Tusu's bedroom on the second floor, walking uneasily. come and go.

The door suddenly opened from the inside, and Liu Hengjiu came out rubbing his temples.

"How is it?" Ling stepped forward worriedly and asked eagerly.

Hengjiu shook his head, "I just gave him an injection to calm him down temporarily, but the second personality hasn't disappeared yet. I'm afraid of harming Tusu's body, so I dare not use too heavy a dose. The effect of the medicine will wear off after an hour. The two personalities are about to wake up."

Ling Yue quickly passed him and walked into the house, Lue Shang and Heng Jiu looked at each other and followed in.

At this moment, Tu Su was lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed deeply. Even though he was forced into a deep sleep by the medicine, his handsome brows were full of restless struggles, as if he was resisting something in his sleep.

"It's because I didn't protect him well. I know his problem, so I should be more careful." Sergeant Lingyue, who has always been calm and calm, also showed helplessness and guilt when facing his junior brother who was trapped in a dream. look.

Cui Lueshang, who was watching, couldn't help sighing in his heart, but he was confused when he cared. Ling Yue, who was calm, calm and courageous in the face of any murder case, would immediately lose his composure and panic when he encountered Tu Su.

He looked at Heng Jiu at the side, and sincerely hoped that the other party could find a good way to help Tu Su.

Heng Jiu looked at Ling Yue and then at Lue Shang who was looking expectantly at him, he pursed his lips and brows and thought for a while, finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said: "There is no solution, but... ..."

"But what?" Ling Yue asked anxiously.

"For Tu Su, this method is just drinking poison to quench his thirst. Once is fine, but...if there are too many times, it will hurt him no less than the outbreak of the second personality."

"What method?" Ling Yue and Lueshang said in unison.

"Hypnosis!" Hengjiu explained in detail: "I used hypnosis to make Tu Su forget everything about entering that hut tonight. Since Lingyue you also said that all his abnormalities started when he entered that hut, then We will close this part of his memory, which is tantamount to canceling the incentive for the appearance of the second personality, allowing the second personality to fall into a deep sleep again."

"Disadvantages!" Luckily, Ling Yue still has a semblance of reason, and understands that everything has advantages and disadvantages.He is not confused, he hopes to cure Tu Su, but he doesn't want to drink poison to quench his thirst, and end up making Tu Su more painful.

"Hypnosis only temporarily hides a memory, so that the second personality falls back into sleep. But if one day, a scene or event similar to today's memory happens again, and the second personality is induced for the second time, then Tusu's One attack will intensify and become more serious."

As soon as he said this, Ling Yue and Lue Shang fell into hesitation.

Although the method of drinking poison to quench thirst and hypnosis helped Tu Su this time, if there is another incentive in the future, it will only make Tu Su more painful.

To save or not to save? !

"Okay! I agree to hypnotize Tu Su." In the end, Ling Yue made up his mind.

If you can't even get over the current predicament, seeing the second personality hurt Tu Su and harm others, then what will happen to Tu Su or to each other?

Seeing Ling Yue endure guilt and heartache to make a decision, Heng Jiu secretly sighed in his heart...

"Let me prepare. After an hour of the effect of the medicine, I will hypnotize him, but..." He looked around at the two people beside him, and continued: "There can be no third party present here."

"En!" Ling Yue nodded in a trance, sat down on the edge of the bed, and held Tu Su's right hand beside him, with unconcealable worry and guilt in his eyes.

Seeing him like this for a long time, I couldn't bear it in my heart, and unconsciously comforted me: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, I have seen a case of contacting the second personality through hints and inducements in the United States before, and I also pointed out this with my tutor before. The method has been researched for a long time. After Tu Su recovers this time, if you want, I can try this method to treat him, maybe... there will be unexpected effects, and I don’t know.”

"Really?" Hearing what he said, Ling Yue couldn't help but feel happy.

Heng Jiu nodded affirmatively, his eyes were filled with a peaceful but sincere light.

Inexplicably, Ling Yue felt that the words of this weak-looking young scholar in front of him were unexpectedly reliable, so he was willing to believe that he would definitely bring hope to Tu Su and himself.

"Thank you so much!"

"En." Seeing that Ling Yue's mood had improved, Heng Jiu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Turning his head with a smile, he saw Cui Lueshang beside him staring at him with burning eyes.

'Thank you! ' He mouthed himself a thank you.

But for Heng Jiu, I don't know why, but this person said it with such eyes and such a way, which made his cheeks feel hot.

He smiled shyly, pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly, reluctant to meet the hot sight in front of him...

It was past ten o'clock in the morning, which was the busiest time for the Haicheng Criminal Investigation Bureau.In the lobby on the third floor, people came and went, dealing with the cases they were responsible for, working in an orderly manner.The door to the sheriff's office opened a crack, allowing those inside to see what was happening outside.Ling Yue sat on the sofa near the door, looking intently at the juniors who were busy running around through the crack of the door.

Today's Tu Su is wearing a white sports T-shirt, a dark purple woolen cardigan, a pair of black leather pants, a pair of dark purple 'N' sneakers, and a clean color lining. His face was very good, and he could not see at all what kind of spiritual training he had experienced last night.

"It seems that he is recovering well." Ling Yue said to Liu Hengjiu who was sitting opposite.

"Yeah." Heng Jiu glanced at Tu Su's busy appearance outside the door, and nodded, "The hypnosis last night should have been successful."

"But is this really good? Why not let him rest more." Ling Yue was still worried about Tu Su's body.

Originally this morning, he planned to let Tu Su rest at home for a day, but Chen Hengjiu let him go on as usual and let Tu Su continue to work.He was very worried that he was exposed to too many things in the process of handling the case. If Tu Su saw the 'incentive' again, it would be even more dangerous.

Heng Jiu still shook his head persistently, and explained: "There is no reason to disrupt his life. Tu Su is a very sensitive person, and he must think deeply about it. If it makes him think of something at that time, it will be very troublesome."

Ling Yue didn't say anything more, nodded silently, turned his eyes and continued to stare at the busy figure outside the house.

Looking at him for a long time, he pursed his lips hesitantly, "Ling Yue, there is a question that I don't know, so it's not convenient to ask."

"Do you want to know why Tu Su has this disease?" Ling Yue turned his head and smiled knowingly.

"En." Heng Jiu nodded, "Since we have decided to treat Tu Su, it is necessary to understand the cause."

Ling Yue nodded approvingly, and turned his eyes to the huge glass window of the office, his thoughts seemed to drift to the long past following the scenery outside the window.

It must have been my own year, when my mentor brought that silent boy to me for the first time, with neatly trimmed short hair and a black sportswear, his expression was full of deep silence and slump, which made people look at him. Distressed.The instructor handed Tu Su over to himself, and told him to take care of him carefully, and never let Tu Su have too much contact with others or have conflicts.At first, he just thought it was the mentor's careful concern and love for Tu Su.

until……

That time he witnessed with his own eyes the violence and ferocity in his eyes when Tu Su at night beat a student who insulted him during the day to serious injury.

To this day, he still remembers that he was so shocked that he stood there unable to move a step.Facing the indifferent and docile little junior brother who followed him during the day, he now showed such a vicious look, he didn't know what happened, and stared blankly at the person who had been knocked unconscious and covered in bruises. On the ground, Tu Su was walking towards him step by step.

"If the instructor hadn't arrived in the end and knocked Tu Su unconscious, I believe I would have to go to the hospital that time." Because of the bitter helplessness in his memories, Ling Yue frowned, and Ling Yue sighed.

"Then do you know what caused his second personality?" Heng Jiu asked.

"I just heard from my instructor that Tu Su's original name was Han Yunxi, and his mother was a daughter of a very famous pharmaceutical group in the United States. Later, he followed his father to China. Unexpectedly, his father passed away early, and his mother was depressed. He also passed away in 15. Tu Su was only about five years old at the time, unable to live on his own, so he was given to his uncle’s family to take care of him. Unexpectedly, the family wanted to use the money left by Tu Su’s mother, abused Tu Su, and forced him to live in the basement of the villa. He also beat and scolded at every turn, and let the little children take care of the housework at home. It was an extremely difficult time. Later, Tu Su’s uncle and aunt died in a car accident two years later, and there were two [-]-year-olds in the car. His daughter also died together. As soon as this incident happened, other people or relatives said that Tu Su was in bad luck, and no one dared to adopt Tu Su anymore. Later, the mentor who was an old friend of Tu Su’s mother received the news, adopted Tu Su and kept him with him all the time. Every time he recalled the past of his junior brother, Ling Yue couldn't help but feel heartache, and the sourness between his brows could not be concealed.

Looking at his appearance for a long time, suddenly, a strange thought flashed in his heart, and he suddenly remembered the scene he saw last night when he and Lueshang were preparing for hypnosis and returned to Tusu's room.

Ling Yue sat on the edge of the bed, clasped Tu Su's right hand tightly with both hands, put it on his lips and kissed gently...

Liu Hengjiu suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and a panic that saw through the truth made him hang his head hurriedly, not daring to look at Ling Yue's expression again.But he didn't want the next moment, the light and expression in Cui Lueshang's eyes when he said "thank you" to him last night appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt his cheeks burning and his heart beating like he was about to escape from his chest.

"Hangjiu." Ling Yue couldn't help calling out as he looked at him with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

"Ah!" Liu Hengjiu collected his thoughts in a panic, raised his head and smiled, "I...I was thinking about Tu Su."

Ling Yue did not doubt that he was there, and continued: "But the instructor never thought that when Tu Su had a second personality. At first, it was just that the pets raised by Tu Su at home would die for no reason, and later the school The classmates who had conflicts with Tu Su and bullied him, would be hurt more or less later. Until the tutor finally realized something was wrong and took Tu Su to the doctor, the doctor said that his second personality had fully grown. It has become a part of his body, and it cannot be easily erased."

"Is that so?!" Heng Jiu frowned, and thoughtfully tapped on the armrest of the sofa with his fingers.

"Later, the mentor changed his name to Baili Tusu. I also hope that Tusu can forget the unhappiness in the past and start life again with a new identity!"

"Then...can we find this mentor now? I want to ask Tu Su about some of his early symptoms." Heng Jiu asked.

Ling Yue was taken aback for a moment, and said, "This..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a man in a white doctor's uniform walked in. It was Xiao Zhuang, the newcomer of the forensic team who appeared at the door of the hut last night.

"Chief Ling." Xiao Zhuang walked to Ling Yue, hesitated for a while, and said, "I didn't find the sword you told me to get last night."

"What?" Ling Yue was surprised.

Before getting into the car last night, Ling Yue thought that since everything in the hut was the cause of Tu Su's 'morbidity', he carefully arranged for someone to go back to get the sword back, and took pictures of the scene in the hut for proof. Thinking, in less than 5 minutes, the sword disappeared? !

Xiaozhuang said: "I went back to the hut and searched every corner, but I couldn't find the sword. Later, I was worried that the police officer Baili took it unconsciously outside the house and dropped it somewhere in a panic, so I shot it. I searched outside with a flashlight for a long time, but I couldn’t find it. I searched again this morning at dawn, but I still couldn’t find it. However, I have already photographed the scene inside the house, and the pictures have been sent to your mailbox.”

"What sword?" Heng Jiu asked, puzzled by the conversation between the two.

"Last night, Tu Su and I found a very strange long sword in the hut." He said, pointing to his bandaged and concealed left arm, "That's how it came about."

Heng Jiu suddenly understood, and nodded silently.

"I know about the sword, I'll trouble you this time." Ling Yue stood up and smiled at Xiao Zhuang who looked guilty.

"Don't say that, I haven't done anything right."

Xiao Zhuang is a new member of the forensic team. He used to be a leader in forensics in his original unit, but he came to the Haicheng Criminal Investigation Division and realized that there are so many talented people here. rookie.During the more than a month since I came here, I could only do some layman's work.Sheriff Ling had arranged something for himself last night, but he didn't even manage such a small matter as going back to get the sword back.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuang felt even more sad.

Ling Yue saw what he was thinking, stood up and walked to him and patted him on the shoulder: "It's obviously not that simple this time, you just came to the investigation department, you need to be familiar with many things, don't pay too much attention to temporary gains and losses. On weekdays, colleagues pay more attention when they are doing things, your team leader is very cautious in doing things, but when he confirms your ability, he will naturally let you handle the case."

Ling Yue's gentle voice and kind comfort made Xiao Zhuang's original doubts about him disappear without a trace, his uneasy mood calmed down, and the momentum and enthusiasm for work in his heart reappeared.

He nodded gratefully, "I will definitely work hard, thank you Sheriff Ling." After speaking, he turned and left the room.

"Sheriff Ling is really gentle to people." Heng Jiu stood up, walked to Ling Yue and said.

Ling Yue smiled and shook his head, then turned around and walked behind the desk to turn on the computer.

"Look at these pictures."

"Yeah." Heng Jiu nodded and walked over, leaned next to Ling Yue and lowered his head to look at the pictures dug out from the computer.

Red walls, black weird pictures...

"In my initial impression, I only think that these two colors are very similar to the colors of Tu Su's clothes on weekdays." Heng Jiu said his first impression.

"En." Ling Yue nodded, "The mentor said that Tu Su liked dark red and black very much since he was a child."

While thinking about the problem for a long time, he habitually pursed his lips, looking at those pictures that vividly depict bloody horror scenes even though they are monochrome...

"You came to the west playground of Haicheng University to investigate the case, but you accidentally found this room here, and let Tu Su see the sword and the painting on the wall." Heng Jiu thought for a while, and then said: "I always feel It's not that simple."

Ling Yue nodded: "That's what I'm most worried about."

What he is most afraid of is that this matter will be involved with Tu Su, and he is also worried that in the dark where people can't see, there is something coveting Tu Su and ready to move!Tu Su's body, his 'disease', could no longer withstand too much torture.

Thinking of this, he looked at the young psychology scholar who was studying the pictures on the computer, and thought of something that An Yichen said when he introduced this person.

"By the way, I heard from Yichen before that you haven't found a place to live after returning from abroad?" Ling Yue asked.

"En." Hengjiu was still thinking about those pictures, but he nodded instinctively.

"Then..." Ling Yue hesitated, and said, "I wonder if you would mind renting that small building together with me and Tu Su?"

Heng Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to look at Ling Yue in front of him, puzzled by his proposal.

Ling Yue smiled, "Before you said that you would treat Tu Su through hints and inducements. I think that if Tu Su is with you, it may be of great help to his illness. I saw the three of you last night. When we are together alone, Tu Su’s expression is a rare joy and smile. I can see that Tu Su is by your side, not as guarded and resistant as when he is around others. And it happens that you are also looking for a place to live, we The small building is also close to the investigation department, and the environment is quite quiet, everyone lives together and takes care of each other."

Regarding Ling Yue's proposal, he thought about it for a long time, finally nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you say that, then I will be disrespectful."

"Boss!"

Suddenly, Cui Lueshang knocked on the door and walked in. His words were interrupted by the scene in front of him, and his expression darkened instantly.

Ling Yue sat in front of the desk with his head raised and smiled softly, standing beside him for a long time with a slight bowed smile, the two of them looked at each other, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

"What's wrong?" Ling Yue looked at him and asked.

"Zhaolin is back." Leaving these words neatly, he quickly turned around and left, leaving behind the two puzzled faces.

In the criminal police office, everyone found a place to sit down and listened to the news that Zhao Lin had returned from investigation at Haicheng University.

"It's similar to the simple report sent by the serious crime team of the Municipal Bureau. I asked many students of the deceased, and they all said that she was a beautiful teacher. She was also very professional, rich in knowledge, and kind to others. The relationship with the students was like a friend. Yes, on weekdays, if she skipped a class or something, she always acted coquettishly and begged for mercy, so she softened her heart, and many students liked her very much." Zhaolin held the small notebook in his hand and made a simple statement of the information obtained from the above investigation.

"Excellent popularity?" Ling Yue murmured these four words repeatedly in his mouth.

"Brother thinks the student's testimony is not true?" Tu Su asked after watching his reaction.

"At least from the body, I can't see the existence of these four words."

The wounds all over the corpse, the face slashed by a sharp knife, the heart that was dug out, and the rein that was strangled to death, all of them showed that the assailant had great hatred for the dead, otherwise how could he kill the dead? After the death of the deceased, he continued to torture the corpse of the deceased to vent his anger!

"but……"

When everyone fell into a thoughtful silence, Zhao Lin suddenly said: "Although many people have given good comments to the deceased, she is not without criticism."

As soon as he said this, everyone cast inquiring gazes, waiting for him to continue.

"As you can see from the photo I gave you, the deceased was a beautiful woman, and therefore attracted many suitors. Several students told me that the deceased was a teacher who stayed at the school to teach directly after graduating from a master's degree. When she was in her degree, there was no shortage of suitors. Especially when her photo was posted on Weibo and commented as #最美女师#, many people came here especially. According to several female students, the suitor of the deceased There are people of all social classes in the middle school, white-collar workers who look arrogant, school teachers, classmates of the deceased when he was studying for a master's degree, etc., and there are indeed people who have seen the deceased and several of the suitors. Not long."

"Hate because of love?" Zuo Fei sneered.

"This possibility is not ruled out." Zhaolin nodded.

Ling Yue re-read the information in his hand, and finally said: "Since there is this doubt, Zhaolin, you and Zuo Fei will continue to follow this line. Expand the living circle of the deceased, and then go to the deceased's Go home and see if there is a photo of her and her boyfriend together, and see if you can find any clues."

"Yes." Zhao Lin and Zuo Fei nodded, closed the notebooks in their hands, stood up and walked outside.

"Liaoshang, you and Heng Jiu will continue to follow up on the line of the two witnesses in the hospital and the man who recorded the statement on the playground before, and you must get more definite testimony." Cui Lueshang said.

"Ah."

Unexpectedly, this man who usually talks a lot just let out a sound from his nose, turned around and walked out with his head down, making the rest of the people puzzled.

"What's wrong with Lue Shang?" Tu Su asked as he watched his leaving back.

Everyone shook their heads and shrugged, expressing that they were not clear.

Staring at that person for a long time, biting his lower lip habitually, a look of confusion and panic flashed in his eyes.Immediately, he turned to Ling Yue and said, "I'm going to the hospital, I wonder if I can take Xiyu with me."

The four of them had to go to work this morning, and he was worried about leaving Xiyu alone at home, so he took him to the investigation department and arranged for him to paint in the small lounge to relieve his boredom.Unexpectedly, Xiyu was also a sensible person, knowing that everyone was busy, so he obediently drew pictures and read books in the lounge all morning, and Tu Su delivered milk once in the middle.

But for Hengjiu, maybe he picked up Xiyu in the first place, and from a professional point of view, he also knew what needs to be paid attention to in Xiyu's illness. He was really worried about leaving Xiyu alone in the investigation department. That's why I had to make this unreasonable request.

Ling Yue glanced at Tu Su, and he could have brought Xiyu with him, but they would also go to the forensic doctor and the forensic team soon, and Xiyu really couldn't do it alone.

"Okay then! Take care of him and don't affect the emotions of the witnesses."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiyu!" Heng Jiu nodded with a smile, and walked quickly towards the lounge.

..............................

On the way to the hospital, Xiyu felt very happy that he could finally come out for a walk. His small face lay on the door of the back seat, and his big bright eyes stared at the passing scenery outside the window without blinking. All joy and joy.

"Three six, look, dance!"

The car happened to pass in front of a commercial plaza. Some businesses were doing activities and invited artists to dance and sing. Seeing the lively crowd, Xiyu excitedly pointed to Heng Jiu to watch.

"Yeah." Heng Jiu nodded with a smile, but his attention was always on the man in the front seat who had been silent since getting in the car.

"Brother Lueshang, dance!" Xiyu likes to share what he thinks is good with everyone around him. Seeing that Lueshang in the front seat did not respond, he chased after him.

"Yes, many people are dancing." The expression of the man who was concentrating on driving was invisible, but his tone was still fond of Xiyu as usual.

Seeing him speak, Hengjiu hurriedly said: "Hehe, Xiyu seems to like to come out to play."

But he didn't want the man who had responded to Xiyu's words just now to ignore him this time, as if he didn't hear him.

Heng Jiu lowered his eyebrows and fell silent. He didn't know what he had done, why a person who was fine when he went to work in the morning suddenly ignored him.It's just that the other party's silence made him inexplicably flustered, and his eyes would involuntarily look at that person from time to time.

He thought of the relationship between him and Tu Su that Lingyue revealed in Lingyue's office before, reminding him of the smile and the deep look in the man's eyes towards him the night before.But at that time in the morning, my heart, which was still beating wildly, felt icy cold now.

Hengjiu clasped his hands tightly, smiled bitterly, he really was...thinking too much!

In this way, the car drove to Haicheng Medical University amid Xiyu's happiness and the silence of the other two people. After listening to the car in the parking lot, the three of them first came to the 2th floor of Building 17 in the ward area. They were still in a coma last night. The old lady woke up this morning.

Knocking on the door and walking in, there was only one old man in the ward, and she was not seen accompanied by family members.

"Hello! We are criminal police officers from the Haicheng Criminal Investigation Division. We would like to do some investigation with you about the murder case that happened yesterday. I wonder if your health is better?" Lue Shang lifted up his clothes to reveal his police badge. Identify.

"Oh, hello!" The old lady was an old man with a very benevolent face. She didn't show any panic when she saw the police coming, and she gave up her seat to the three with a smile. The nurse has already told me to let me work with you."

"Old man, where is your family? Why didn't you come to accompany you?" Heng Jiu glanced around the ward and asked.

Hearing this, the old man smiled and sighed, "It's not a big deal, why bother to inform him. My wife is long gone, only one son, working in other places, it's inconvenient to come back, I'm just scared, rest Just rest and you'll be fine."

"That's it!" Hengjiu nodded, didn't say anything, and instead pulled the timid Xiyu to sit beside him.

Only at this time did the old lady notice the third person in the room. He didn't look like a policeman, and his small appearance looked cute and sticky, which immediately aroused the old man's maternal love.

"Hey, this young man is so cute, is he also a policeman?"

"No, he's just..." Heng Jiu didn't know how to explain for a while.

"For those involved in other cases, you don't have to mind." The slightly merchant on the side explained for him.

He looked at him for a long time, but found that the other party was still looking at the old lady, and his eyes didn't even cast on him, and he lowered his head sadly.

"Oh! It's okay, I have an apple here, give it to him." The old man enthusiastically handed Xiyu an apple from his bag.

The stranger's hand stretched out, Xiyu hurriedly shrank back, and the whole person wanted to hide behind Heng Jiu's back.

Hengjiu smiled to express his gratitude, took the apple and handed it to Xiyu, and said softly: "Xiyu, what will Xiyu say about the apple given by grandma?"

Xiyu raised his head obediently, glanced at the old man, pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Thank...thank you!" He reached out and took the apple, took a bite obediently, it was delicious and sweet, and he laughed.

After having a simple communication with the little guy Xiyu, the spirit of the old man seems to be more relaxed.

Lue Shang took this opportunity to take out his notepad, ready to ask for a statement.

"Old man, may I ask your name?"

"Li Xiumei."

"Home address?"

"No. 61, Xingfu Lane, University Road..."

……

……

"So that means, when you arrived at the playground, you happened to see the gatekeeper unlock the big lock." Lueshang's subordinates kept recording, thinking about what the old man said in their minds.

"Yes, our old sisters are all old, sleep less, and go to morning exercises very early on weekdays, and we are also familiar with Lao Xu (the old gatekeeper)." Li Xiumei nodded and recalled.

"So when you saw the corpse, did you see anything unreasonable or abnormal?"

Regarding Lue Shang's question, Li Xiumei thought about it seriously, and said: "Actually, I didn't see it clearly at the time. We old sisters were walking forward and chatting behind four or five people, and suddenly we saw the last one. A man in front stopped, we continued to move forward, and vaguely saw a red thing hanging on the railing of the rostrum. You also know that we old people are too blind to see clearly. We continued to move forward After a few steps, I suddenly heard a woman closest to us yelling loudly. The sound almost scared me out of a heart attack. With that horrible look, I felt like I didn’t catch my breath, and then I passed out, and when I woke up, I was already in the hospital.”

"Then besides the face of the deceased, did you see anything else?" Lueshang then asked.

Speaking of the face of the deceased, Li Xiumei seemed to think of the hideous face that had been destroyed beyond recognition, her face turned pale immediately, and she shook her head, "That look is already frightening to death, how dare I continue to look at it, I'm so scared to death It's gone." As he said, he patted his chest with lingering fear.

Hengjiu also heard the old man say that he had a heart attack before, and he was worried that if he continued to ask, there would be negative results, and from her words, it could be inferred that she probably didn't see anything.

He tugged at the corner of Lalushang's clothes, and shook his head towards him, implying not to ask any more questions.

Cui Lueshang sighed helplessly, and stood up, "Old man, let's ask here first today, and if we need your help in the future, we will contact you again, and you should have a good rest first!"

"Oh, all right!" Li Xiumei nodded.

Hengjiu gets up and pulls Xiyu up, and walks out with Lueshang.

Suddenly, Xiyu stopped, turned his head and bowed slightly to Li Xiumei: "Goodbye!"

"Ah!" Li Xiumei didn't seem to have expected his move, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily: "Okay, goodbye! Hehe..."

Seeing her laughing, Xiyu seemed very happy too, turned around with a smile and took Heng Jiu's hand.

Seeing his behavior, Lue Shang and Heng Jiu unconsciously looked at each other and smiled knowingly.In an instant, the silent coldness between the two of them was melted a lot by Xiyu's cute little face, and they all eased their expressions.

The three continued to walk out of the ward, and at the moment the door was closed, Li Xiumei suddenly yelled: "Wait a minute!"

Lue Shang pushed open the door again, and saw her lowering her head as if thinking about something.

"I... I seem to think of something, but... I don't know if it has anything to do with it." She said with a little hesitation.

"You said, no matter what, it might be an important clue." Lueshang hurried forward and said.

Li Xiumei nodded, and said while thinking: "I seem to vaguely remember the moment I passed out, and saw a young man not far away from me, wearing a pair of big black eyes like a student, and his hair looks like he just woke up. Yes, looking at the dead man in a panic, he kept backing away, as if he was quite frightened. Too many people were frightened at that time, I don’t know if it has anything to do with it.”

"Approximately how old is it?" Lueshang asked, keeping the key points in his notebook.

"Age... in his 20s, he's a young man anyway." Li Xiumei wasn't sure, "However, I've met this person before. He lives in the old family building on the west side of the university. I used to watch him during morning exercises. Come down after ten o'clock to buy breakfast."

"Buy breakfast after ten o'clock?" Lue Shang and Heng Jiu looked at each other, "That should not be an office worker."

"Well, when our old sisters gossip, we also guess that it doesn't look like it."

Older people gossip to varying degrees, not to mention a few women in a play, and they are all "old drama bones" who have sung on stage for almost a lifetime, so the level of gossip when they are free can be seen to be average.

"Old man, if we ask you to make a puzzle, I wonder if you can do it?" Lue Shang put away his notebook and asked.

"This..." Li Xiumei was in a dilemma for a moment. Although it didn't take long, she only saw it when she fainted. She wasn't sure if she could fully recall it.But in the end she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will try my best to recall the memories."

"Thank you then! I'll send someone over to make puzzles for you this afternoon."

After Lueshang finished speaking, he nodded his thanks to Li Xiumei, and left her ward with Heng Jiu and Xiyu who had been waiting at the door.
