A month later.

Even the crape myrtle flowers that lasted for hundreds of days were becoming scarce day by day, and when Xia Chan's noise gradually subsided, Diao Shuzhen, who was lying on the hospital bed, was finally able to move around by himself.It was an autumn day with a breezy breeze, and she limped to the office of the Criminal Psychology Department with a coffin stick.The furnishings here are still the same, no newcomers are arranged, and the files on the table are still unopened and laid out there.I didn't come back for more than two months, and there was a thick layer of dust on it.She felt warm in her heart, and the senior sister definitely believed that she would definitely come back, so she kept this place.

She gently blew off the dust on the table, looked around, and sat down.She twisted the note under the case file, it was written in Wang Yanyan's scribbled handwriting:

The serial murder case in City C is all over, and the special investigation team has gone back, you are fine!

The stroke of the word "Le" jumped up so far that it almost broke through the note.

Diao Shuzhen can imagine how happily Wang Yanyan wrote this note, she bent the corner of her mouth, the camphor tree downstairs was bathed in the sun, the edges of the branches and leaves were slightly golden, very gentle.

In addition to the note written by Wang Yanyan, there are also some official documents stating that the serial murder case in City C was solved, Jiang Xiaoqi committed suicide to cover up the real suspect, Bureau of supervision is weak.Diao Shuzhen from the Criminal Psychology Department met with the criminal suspect privately in violation of procedures and was given a warning.But thinking that he used his own knowledge to solve the serial murder case, he should be commended.

Diao Shuzhen smiled, and threw the official notice into the bottom of the drawer, under a pile of documents.

She turned around and drove to the largest supermarket in the city center, swept away the most expensive candies and desserts on the counter, and stuffed a big bag full.The kind-hearted man saw that her wrists were still wrapped in bandages and helped her move into the car, as if she didn't remember that she was the policeman who was on the cusp of a month ago.She smiled and warmly offered the man a dessert.

Everything is slowly getting better. Diao Shuzhen drives the car clumsily. The accident left her with some sequelae. She passed by her several times, but God treats her kindly after all.

In the smog of the Internet cafe, Diao Shuzhen found the short-haired little loli sitting in the corner with familiarity.She is petite and nestled in the big sofa, which looks very disproportionate.But at the age of twelve or thirteen, a pair of big and bright almond eyes almost occupied the upper half of his small face, as if he came out of an anime.She is busy, and her ten short fingers are extremely skillful in operating a large online fighting game.The dazzling images on the screen made Diao Shuzhen dizzy and dizzy.

At the end of the round, the little loli looked at Diao Shuzhen's "filial piety" and smiled sweetly, with two lovely dimples appearing on her face.

"Ferrero, Lindt, Godiva—" Little Lori smiled contentedly, "Thank you."

"No, this is your reward." Diao Shuzhen smiled slyly, "There is also a coupon for a dentist clinic below, I think you will be able to use it soon."

Seeing that little loli bared her teeth, she seemed to rush over.Diao Shuzhen suddenly raised his hand to block in front of him, and said with a smile, "Oh, grandma, don't come, my newly healed fracture is about to crack again."

"How did this happen? When you provided information about the case and asked me for help, you said that you would escape unscathed?" Little Lolita puffed up her cheeks like a cat. Frightened puffer fish.

"Oh, I'm fine. A broken bone is a trivial matter. Once it's healed, it'll be fine." Diao Shuzhen was all smiles, coaxing the little friend, "Your article about how I forced Jiang Xiaoqi to death, but you can't help it." It’s really wonderful. The protagonist’s scent is so sweet, it’s really full of citrus scent. Thank you for helping me to push it to the public.”

"That's right, don't look at who wrote it." The kid couldn't help boasting, and laughed triumphantly.In a blink of an eye, being fooled by Diao Shuzhen made him forget about the topic just now.

"Come on, I won't bother you anymore." Diao Shuzhen pouted towards the bag of candies, smiling with crooked eyes, "See you at the dentist's office."

"—You go, you go." Little Loli took a chocolate bar in her mouth, put on her earphones again, and waved Diao Shuzhen goodbye as if she was chasing away a fly.

The sun shines on the asphalt road, casting a layer of golden light on the crape myrtle trees on the side of the road.The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the air is filled with the unique cool and sweet smell of autumn.Diao Shuzhen came to the downstairs of the community where she and Song Yucheng lived together after a long absence. The gentle light poured on the row of peacock chrysanthemums at the door, and it was as quiet as a meaningful picture scroll, as if nothing had changed.

Thinking of how embarrassed he was when he came here last time, Diao Shu couldn't help but smile.She sat down on the red bricks around the flower garden, and a few strands of silky clouds floated in the clear sky, like a few long white tail feathers, making her heart itchy.She closed her eyes, enjoying the quiet time at this moment - it was like a fresh slow-paced piano music flowing slowly from the tip of her heart.

Diao Shuzhen sat for a long time, until the sun gradually moved westward, the clear blue sky was covered with brilliant red clouds, and for so long that the dark curtain covered the sky, and several bright stars gradually emerged.With a satisfied expression on her face, she turned and went back to the car.

Before she knew it, she actually drove to the side of the scenic belt along the river in City C.Forgetting is the best medicine. There is a lively scene here, and it is impossible to see that such a tragedy has happened. There is an endless stream of people who come to exercise, take a walk, and buy and sell things.Infected by the joyous atmosphere here, Diao Shuzhen was in a great mood. She leaned on a cane and walked slowly down the embankment.

Because it is summer, people are afraid of snakes and insects in the lush grass, so compared with the well-repaired road, the muddy path along the river is deserted, only the crickets keep calling in the grass, which is more quiet .

It was a full moon night, and the floating moonlight sprinkled on the broad river surface, showing a mercury-like color.The river is flowing leisurely, as if it doesn't know how many thrilling stories have happened here, it is flowing quietly as always.

Diao Shuzhen stood on the bank of the river and lit the paper money hanging on the crutches.The light of the beeping fire made her amber eyes shine brightly. She stared at the dancing flames, as if looking at those people and things that could not be reproduced through this layer of veil.In the blazing flames, the yellow and red talisman papers were licked and forwarded to those who were either buried in the river or burned in the fire.

She bent down with great effort, the branch in her hand fiddled with the flames, and the rising sparks floated in the wind, like a soul with nowhere to live.The flying sparks illuminated a bird's nest on a tree branch. In the bowl-shaped grassy nest, there seemed to be some reflections of plastic products.

With a thought, she stretched out her crutch to reach the bird's nest.After fumbling a few times, an envelope wrapped in plastic film fell to the ground.Her heart was pounding, and she took it apart quickly.

The familiar aroma of roses hit her nostrils, she frowned slightly, the bloody wind of that night flashed before her eyes again, and she seemed to hear the deafening explosion again, in the strong smell of blood, the old people reunited .

She opened the letter and scanned the paper slowly:

My dear Xiao Diao, you are the most respectable opponent I have ever met.The big gamble I made with you was a mortal ending.I am not afraid of death, since they left, I have no nostalgia for this world.I don't care how many people I took away, you and Yucheng, beautiful people like you should not live in this ugly world.

I despise the world, and all I think about is death.

But I was wrong. There are so many people who can achieve such awe-inspiring status in order to survive.Just like Jiang Xiaoqi for me, you for Yucheng.When you drank those two cups of poison at the same time, I knew I lost, completely.

I'm a self-righteous person who thinks I'm the savior of those around me.I saved Ye Jiu who was trying to commit suicide, and comforted Xiao Qi who was dying.But I was wrong, it was they who spared no effort to save me and tried their best to keep me alive.I have always been thinking, fate treats them so unfairly, what is there in this world worth nostalgia for, let me accompany them, wouldn't it be good for the three of us to be together forever?

When I saw you, I understood.If there is anything worthy of nostalgia in this world, it is the future of dreams.They want me to go to that day for them—the day when there will never be a parent who abandons a baby girl, a teacher who abuses a student, a habitual criminal who cheats on feelings, or a scum who abuses his power.The future that they couldn't see is the only hope and nostalgia.

They witnessed that day with me through my eyes.

Maybe this day will never come, maybe tomorrow will come.

I hope we don't see each other again, Xiao Diao.If we meet again, it means that another tragedy has happened.But maybe soon—

Not signed.The dancing fire light shone on Diao Shuzhen's face, she lowered her head, unable to see clearly, she seemed to twitch the corners of her mouth slightly.As soon as she raised her hand, the letter was swallowed by the flames and turned into ashes in the dazzling light.

The author has something to say: La la la, everyone finally finished the exam~ I am the kind of person who is very sloppy, anyway, I am super happy after the exam, no matter how the exam is, hahahahaha
