Mystery Pursuit

The location of the Criminal Investigation Institute is a bit remote, with few buildings around. The temperature at night is colder than the downtown area, and the cold wind is like a knife cutting the face. Wu Yuzhou ran forward against the wind, and Yu Ye hit it hard. When he fell, his knee was injured. When running, it was as if a knife was gouging out the bones and flesh of his legs. At this moment, he didn't care about the cold and pain. The man curled up on the ground in the middle of the road was more serious than his life.

"Yu Ye!" He called Yu Ye's name again.

The people on the ground didn't respond, he knelt down and hugged Yu Ye into his arms, tried it on Yu Ye's neck with trembling fingers, felt the beating pulse, and then his hands stopped trembling, blood flowed out from Yu Ye's body, dyed him red The clothes on the chest, "I'll call an ambulance right away...Yu Ye hold on..."

The time of waiting for the ambulance was stretched and magnified, and it became extremely long. He found the bleeding part of Yu Ye's body and pressed his palm hard. He had experienced life and death several times, and he had long put death aside. , Only by letting go completely can you be truly fearless.

At this moment, he could no longer be as indifferent as before, his heart seemed to be grasped by one hand, and that hand was squeezed tightly, and his heartbeat slowed down instantly, and he couldn't breathe. He thought of the fish that were caught during winter fishing, and the feeling of powerlessness overwhelmed him. Surrounded by groups, the cold wind blew away the tears from the corners of the eyes.

The sound of an ambulance in the distance pulled him out of the chaos, and his brain gradually became clear. He lowered his head and pressed Yu Ye's cold face, "The ambulance is coming, hold on...you must be fine...promise me, never something happened."

The ambulance stopped, and someone got out of the car to carry Yu Ye away. At the same time, Lin Jie and the others drove a police car over from another direction. The two voices mixed together, waking up the silent night. Wu Yuzhou sat on the ground, keeping his posture of embracing Yu Ye. No noisy sounds around him, his world was silent, those people dangled in front of his eyes, like illusory ghosts, and then everything around him disappeared.

He rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them, there was a flame in front of him. The house collapsed in the fire, and the crimson fire in the night turned into the giant mouth of a beast, swallowing him... In the illusions that kept appearing, he gradually lost consciousness.

Opening his eyes again, he was in the hospital, Wu Fei was dozing off while sitting on the bed, Wu Yuzhou sat up slowly with his arms propped up on the bed, pulled out the needle on the back of his hand, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, Wu Fei was woken up by rustling movements , "Brother Zhou is awake? Where are you going?"

"Where's Yu Ye?" Wu Yuzhou's first words.

"The boss is seriously injured, he hasn't woken up yet, and he is in intensive care." Before Wu Fei finished speaking, Wu Yuzhou had already got off the ground and walked out.

"You just woke up weak, so don't walk around casually." Wu Fei didn't dare to stop him, so he could only follow behind.

"Where is the intensive care unit? Take me there."

"The intensive care unit does not allow family members to visit at will. When they go there, they can only take a look from the outside. They cannot sit on the bedside to visit like ordinary wards..."

"I want to see him right away, even from a distance."

Wu Fei knew that he couldn't beat Wu Yuzhou, so he took him upstairs to the intensive care unit where Yu Ye was located. There were several patients in it. Eyes as if asleep.

It was almost a year since Wu Yuzhou came to the criminal investigation team, Wu Fei read emotions in his eyes for the first time, worry, pain and helplessness, he stood with his back to Wu Fei for a while, then turned back and returned to his usual indifference, "Let's go. "

Wu Fei hurriedly followed.

"How many days has Yu Ye been in the intensive care unit?"

"One day, you had a car accident last night."

Fortunately, it wasn't like the last time he was in a coma for four days. With a sigh of relief, Wu Yuzhou adjusted his mood and asked, "There was a child by the side of the road last night, did you notice it?"

"Bring it back to the Bureau, now Cheng Xiaolu is watching."

"Take me to meet him."

Wu Fei quickly took a step in front of Wu Yuzhou, and stretched his arms to block him, "The doctor said that your condition is worse this time than last time. You just woke up, so don't go out yet."

"Someone deliberately designed a car accident. I have to find this person. In order to avoid the police, he probably drove a fake car. He also avoided surveillance and even threw away the car. It has been a day and I want to find him. , that child is the key."

Wu Fei dusted his ears, and couldn't believe what he heard. After Wu Yuzhou and Yu Ye were sent to the hospital last night, they immediately went to the traffic police brigade to check the scene of the car accident. The driver didn't stop the child from hiding. It was obviously not an ordinary accident. Car accident, following the escape route of the black car all the way, the car got off the highway and turned into a barren mountain, Wu Fei and Lin Jie chased it, only the car was found at the foot of the mountain, the driver disappeared, as for the child, Cheng Xiaolu asked for a long time, soft and hard All attempts were in vain, he kept his head down and nails, refusing to say a word.

After thinking about it, Wu Fei was still worried about letting Wu Yuzhou be released from the hospital, so he called Cheng Xiaolu to bring the child to the inpatient department. The situation was urgent last night, and Wu Yuzhou didn't look at the child, so he only looked carefully at this moment.

The little boy was about five or six years old. He was neatly dressed, had white skin and big eyes. He was beautiful, but his eyes were empty and he couldn't look at people accurately.

Wu Yuzhou glanced at Cheng Xiaolu, and Cheng Xiaolu whispered in his ear: "I can't see my eyes. The doctor said he was completely blind. I don't know what kind of injury he suffered. The blindness was caused by the compression of the nerves. However, he is young and his body is developing in all aspects, and he may be blind in the future." The chance of recovering eyesight...For blindness caused by an accident like his, the recovery of eyesight actually depends on luck, and it may be like this for a lifetime."

"What about hearing?"

"No problem, not talking may be a psychological problem, or I was too frightened last night."

Wu Yuzhou squatted down and looked at the little boy at the same level. He took a long breath, exhaled all the messy things in his heart, and kept his mind in the most peaceful state. He picked up the little boy with both arms, put him on the other side, and then asked softly: "Remember?" Are these hands holding you?"

Of course, the little boy remembered the person who snatched him back from the hands of the god of death. Recalling the scene last night, his body couldn't stop shaking, and his teeth also chattered up and down.

Wu Yuzhou hugged the little boy, "It's all over, don't be afraid."

After a while, the little boy gradually stopped shaking. He raised his hand to touch the facial features on Wu Yuzhou's face, "Thank you."

After speaking, Cheng Xiaolu and Wu Fei were both stunned.

"What's your name?" Wu Yuzhou's calm and gentle voice was reassuring.

"Edamame."

"Where's your name?"

The little boy thought for a while, "I only have this name."

"What's your last name?"

The little boy shook his head.

"What's your father's last name?"

The little boy still shook his head, "I don't have a father."

"Who do you live with?"

"I don't remember what happened when I was a child. After I couldn't see it, I lived with a grandmother who died a few days ago." The little boy choked up, "I want to find her..."

"So you heard the car and I called you?"

"If you move, you won't be able to see grandma... Then I heard the sound of an ambulance, are you injured?" Maodou apologized, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"I'm fine, the person who was hit is my friend."

"Being hit by a car must be very painful, I'm sorry... I hurt you..."

"The person who rescued you is not in a good condition now. Would you like to help us find the driver who caused the accident?"

"willing."

"Okay, the next question I ask, you have to answer honestly, did someone tell you to stand still in the middle of the road?"

"No, I want to see grandma."

"Where does your grandma live? How did you end up in the middle of the road by yourself?"

"I don't know where my grandma lives. I only know that it is a building. My grandma's son wants to rent out the house. He shut me out and asked me to go home. I don't remember who my parents are. Where is my original home? Where can I go? I walked along the blind path in front of grandma’s house. After walking for a long time, I was hungry and sleepy. I missed grandma so much, so I wanted to die and go up to find her.”

"Is there a building or thing near Grandma's house that you can remember?"

"Grandma is afraid that I will fall, so she seldom lets me go out."

"How many years have you lived with this grandma who took care of you?"

"Two years."

"Did you listen to adults chatting during this period, and mentioned the name of the neighborhood where grandma lives?"

"No, very few people come to grandma's house. I didn't know grandma had a son until she passed away."

"Thank you Maodou for being willing to tell me this. You stay with this sister first, and I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." Wu Yuzhou straightened up, took out the cigarette case and walked out of the ward.

Cheng Xiaolu hugged Maodou and sat on the chair, picked up a banana and put it in his hand, and played a children's story from the listening software.

The child didn't resist like last night, and sat quietly eating and listening to stories.

Cheng Xiaolu walked up to Wu Fei and whispered: "Modou is so pitiful. Because of her disability, she was abandoned by her parents, and her kind grandmother who depended on her for life died again. Such a small child is lonely and homeless. If it were me, I would think of committing suicide, alas. ...Wu Dui also went out to smoke because of his psychological distress."

Wu Fei shook his head silently.

Cheng Xiaolu didn't know why, so she looked at Wu Fei with doubts.

Wu Fei said in a very low whisper: "From the perspective of a bystander, you feel sorry for Maodou. If you think from the perspective of the police, there is something wrong with Maodou's words just now. The car accident last night was obviously deliberate. The target may be the boss or Team Wu, now that the driver who caused the accident escaped, Maodou, as a member of the crime scene, is an important clue, but none of what he said just now can provide a clue."

Cheng Xiaolu changed her mind and immediately understood Wu Fei's meaning, "Modou had an accident when he was a child, and he didn't remember his parents, so the grandmother who adopted him became a key person. It is an indispensable step to verify the authenticity of his grandmother, but My grandma died recently. Next, I went to visit my grandma’s son and neighbors to verify what he said, but he didn’t know where my grandma lived. All kinds of circumstances made it impossible for us to verify whether Maodou’s words were true or not. The way is to find the driver of the accident through Maodou."

After saying this, her eyes naturally fell on Maodou, those big eyes stared blankly at a single point, beautiful facial features, coupled with the incompleteness of a blind person, most people would feel pity when they saw such a child, if Maodou and the driver who caused the accident were in the same group... Cheng Xiaolu didn't want to imagine it anymore, and she hoped that Maodou was an ordinary child with a disability.

It is impossible for Maodou to go too far alone. His former home is likely to be next to the Criminal Investigation Institute. Wu Yuzhou returned to the ward and quietly arranged for Wu Fei to check the road monitoring again last night, focusing on how Maodou appeared at the crime scene. ?Follow the route Maodou took to trace his former home.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Xiaolu went downstairs to the cafeteria to have dinner. Wu Yuzhou and Maodou were the only ones left in the ward. After Wu Fei left, Wu Yuzhou had been secretly observing Maodou. Then, Cheng Xiaolu eats whatever she gives, listens to the story as soon as it’s on, doesn’t make a sound when it’s turned off, doesn’t go to the bathroom all afternoon, doesn’t look like a six-year-old at all, but looks like a robot.

Cheng Xiaolu returned the meal and placed it in front of Maodou, "May I feed you?"

"No need." Maodou touched the chopsticks and lunch box on the table, opened it by himself, and it's no problem to eat by himself.

Wu Yuzhou looked at him and asked, "Does Maodou know the last name of the grandmother who takes care of her?"

"Grandma Chen." Maodou replied.

"She won't feed you?"

"Grandma trained me to eat by myself."

Wu Yuzhou looked away, wondering why Maodou said training instead of teaching, and was thinking about the phone ringing, Lin Jie said excitedly on the other end of the phone: "Yu Ye is awake, the current situation is still stable, if there is nothing tonight, go back to normal tomorrow morning Ward."

Wu Yuzhou's heart beat faster and he couldn't speak. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Seeing a child who hadn't lit it, he took it down again, "I'll be there right away."

"You can rest easy and recover from your illness. Liang Yuxuan and I are here, and we will let you know if there is any situation."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yuzhou put down his meal and ran upstairs, the elevator door opened, Liang Yuxuan and Lin Jie saw his helpless expression, "It's not that I won't let you come."

Wu Yuzhou ignored them, and went straight to the window of the intensive care unit to look in. Yu Ye also turned his head to look out the window as if he had sensed it. They couldn't see each other's expressions clearly from a distance, but they could feel the expectation in each other's eyes. Hope and burning.
