Ye Chuyang: "Is that lawyer surnamed Bai from your legal department?"

Jiang Ying: "You mean Bai Sinian? He is not my employee. He opened a law firm and is his own boss."

On the car to the nursing home, Bian Xiaocheng drove, Jiang Ying and Ye Chuyang sat in the back seat, and Ye Chuyang left Facia behind to guard the camp.Ye Chuyang was still thinking about the handsome lawyer Bai just now, he looked out of the window with his face propped up and said, "You call him Mr. Bai, was he your teacher before? But he looks quite young."

Jiang Ying also looked out of the window, the window was lowered by him, and the wind blew in and pushed back his hair, he stroked his hair back, and said: "He taught me and Xingyu, when we were in the first grade of junior high, he He came to our school as a physics teacher and taught our class. But he resigned after teaching for a year. He was admitted to the University of Political Science and Law as a graduate student, and later changed his career to become a lawyer."

Ye Chuyang looked at the crowds and buildings passing by on the street, and said in a low voice, "You're so handsome."

Jiang Ying didn't hear clearly, and asked him, "What did you say?"

Ye Chuyang blinked: "Oh, I said he was so successful——"

However, Bian Xiaocheng was very clever, and he heard Beer clearly, and thoughtfully explained to Jiang Ying: "Mr. Jiang, Dr. Ye said that Lawyer Bai is very handsome."

Ye Chuyang: ...

Now he really wants to kick Bian Xiaocheng.

Jiang Ying turned his head and looked at Ye Chuyang with a half-smile: "What about me?"

Ye Chuyang looked puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ying stroked her hair back, and laughed coquettishly: "Aren't I handsome?"

Ye Chuyang looked at him seriously, and said seriously, "You're handsome when you're not talking."

Jiang Ying continued to ask, "What about when I'm talking?"

Ye Chuyang spat out two words: "Frivolous."

Jiang Ying: ...

Bian Xiaocheng was sweating on his forehead, thinking that the boss was about to lose his temper, he hurriedly said: "Hahahaha Dr. Ye means you are chic."

Jiang Ying said with a half-smile, "I'm not a hooligan now?"

Ye Chuyang closed his mouth and stopped talking.Of course he remembered that in Zhong Ling's spiritual cabin, he had scolded Jiang Ying as a hooligan in a moment of impatience.

But Jiang Ying chased him and asked, "Dr. Ye, aside from the fact that I am frivolous and rascal, who do you think is more handsome, Bai Sinian or me?"

Ye Chuyang's desire to survive finally came online. Looking at Jiang Ying, he wanted to compliment him, but Jiang Ying pointed at the tip of his nose first, and Jiang Ying said: "Tell the truth, otherwise I will withdraw the capital."

Ye Chuyang was stumped. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "You and Lawyer Bai are too different in age to be compared. You are 27 this year, aren't you? He is ten years older than you, right?"

Jiang Ying: "Eleven."

Ye Chuyang nodded: "Yeah, you are 27, he is 38, how do you compare?"

Jiang Ying was preoccupied: "You just say, who is handsome."

Ye Chuyang looked at his face seriously, and said seriously: "In terms of appearance, you must be more handsome."

Jiang Ying was dissatisfied: "Look through this layer of skin on your face."

Ye Chuyang doesn't know where he got the confidence to compare with Bai Sinian in terms of connotation and temperament. Bai Sinian has a kind of thick and pure residue left over from years of being cleaned of impurities. This is the most important thing in Bai Sinian. The attractive thing, as for Jiang Ying...Jiang Ying is a collection of contradictions, he is deceitful, divided, impure, he is elegant yet rude, he is stable yet frivolous, these contradictions are combined into his unique personality. Temperament, but this temperament is too savage and very aggressive.

Jiang Ying is very dangerous, so Ye Chuyang can appreciate the gentle and refined Bai Sinian, so Ye Chuyang said: "Lawyer Bai is better."

Jiang Ying was unhappy, and his emotions turned up. It was so obvious that even Ye Chuyang could see it. Ye Chuyang wanted to change the subject, and said, "You just said that Bai Sinian taught you and Mr. Zhan's class before?"

Jiang Ying was a bit self-willed at certain times, for example, now, when he deliberately showed Ye Chuyang his face, he let out a sullen 'hmm'.

Ye Chuyang posted it with a smile on his face, looking for something to say: "Mr. Zhan should be younger than you, how come he is in the same class as you?"

Jiang Ying folded his arms and used his nose to speak: "Xing Yu is two years younger than me, but he is very smart and keeps skipping grades. He has been in the same class as me since the first day of junior high school."

Ye Chuyang: "Oh, then Mr. Zhan is also a student of Bai Sinian?"

Jiang Ying: "Yes."

In fact, the sourness in Jiang Ying's heart quickly digested himself. He deliberately provoked Ye Chuyang because he saw Ye Chuyang's reaction was interesting.Ye Chuyang didn't know what bad water he was holding back. He just felt that Jiang Ying was narrow-minded and couldn't listen to a few bad words. He was worried that Jiang Ying would be withdrawn if he angered him, so he could only continue to laugh and be careful, saying: "Mr. Jiang, I I brought a pack of walnut kernels, do you want to eat it?"

Jiang Ying raised his chin, with a cold and arrogant attitude: "Where is it?"

Ye Chuyang took out a pack of walnuts from his pocket, tore it open and handed it to Jiang Ying, who folded his arms and said without looking sideways: "My hands are dirty, so it's not convenient to handle."

Ye Chuyang finally came to his senses, and held a piece of walnut and handed it to Jiang Ying's mouth.Jiang Ying glanced at him secretly, opened his golden mouth, bit the walnut kernel, and accepted it with a smile.

Ye Chuyang: "Do you still want to eat?"

Jiang Ying: "The taste is not bad, you can have another piece."

Ye Chuyang fed him another piece.

Bian Xiaocheng watched the interaction between the two people in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and felt that the two of them together were at the level of a kindergarten class.

Ye Chuyang was feeding and feeding, and suddenly saw his right hand holding the walnut fell silent, with a serious expression on his face.

Jiang Ying asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Chuyang said: "Boss Jiang, I remembered, it's not convenient for me to take walnuts."

Jiang Ying: "Why?"

Ye Chuyang said sternly: "I just remembered, I played with Pikachu for a while before I went upstairs to find you, and I haven't washed my hands since then."

Jiang Ying was puzzled: "Pikachu? That big hairless yellow mouse in the cartoon?"

Ye Chuyang turned to look at him and said, "Pikachu is a pet raised by the new media company next door to my office. It's a big golden retriever. I even help it clean up its excrement."

Jiang Ying: ...

Hearing this, Bian Xiaocheng wanted to laugh wildly, but he didn't dare to laugh at the boss in front of the boss even if he lent him 1 dog galls, so he held back, his chest trembled, his face flushed, and he met the opposite vehicle Hit the horn hard a few times.

When they arrived at the nursing home, Ye Chuyang washed his hands with the drip irrigation of water sprayed on the lawn as soon as he got off the car, but Jiang Ying was determined not to walk with him anymore, and walked ahead alone, Ye Chuyang and Bian Xiaocheng followed behind him, bypassed the two inpatient buildings, and entered the complex building.

Dean Qi was notified in advance that they were coming, so he received them in the office. After hearing Ye Chuyang talk about the general situation of Zhong Ling's spiritual cabin, Dean Qi handed over the materials he had prepared in advance to Ye Chuyang. Said: "Xiaoye, these are Zhong Ling's medical records, all of which we collected from various hospitals before Zhong Ling was hospitalized."

Ye Chuyang picked up a chair by the window and sat down, spreading the documents on his lap to read carefully.Jiang Ying took the half bag of walnuts and swayed quietly to Ye Chuyang's side, leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, ate the walnuts and said, "Zhong Ling used to be hospitalized often, and it was all traumatic injuries, which I told Chen Xiaorong. It's pretty much the same."

Ye Chuyang ignored him and concentrated on reading the information; in fact, what Jiang Ying said was right, Zhong Ling often went to the hospital when she was a child and adolescence, and the injuries were all small and small skin trauma, the most serious one was a broken forearm , After two months of plaster cast, it will be fine.Every time Zhong Ling's mother, Fang Yu, accompanied Zhong Ling to the hospital, explained to the doctor why Zhong Ling was injured, and clarified that those injuries were Zhong Ling's self-harm.Zhong Ling's craziest self-mutilation was to put her left arm between the two iron bars of the window, inserting the arm obliquely and folding it outward. If Fang Yu hadn't discovered it in time, Zhong Ling's left arm would not only be broken, but It's a devastating bone fracture.

After reading Zhong Ling's medical records, Ye Chuyang asked Dean Qi, "Dean Qi, have you met Fang Yu, Zhong Ling's mother?"

Dean Qi said: "I have seen it twice. Fang Yu accompanied Zhong Ling to see me twice before his death."

Ye Chuyang said: "I suspect that Zhong Ling's family has a history of mental illness. Was Fang Yu in a normal state of mind when you saw her?"

Dean Qi was a little surprised: "Does Zhong Ling's family have a history of mental illness?" He frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have only met Zhong Ling's mother. Judging from the two times I met Fang Yu, Fang Yu There is nothing abnormal about Yu's mental state, it's just—"

Ye Chuyang: "What?"

Dean Qi said: "Actually, it's nothing. A woman likes to complain. It's not easy for her to raise her daughter, and her daughter has a mental illness. It's inevitable that she will complain more."

Ye Chuyang remembered the scene where Fang Yu was severely beaten by her husband after sending her daughter to the hospital. Fang Yu also complained about her bitterness after being beaten by her husband, publicized it everywhere, and won sympathy for herself.This kind of thing is very common, and it is not surprising that Fang Yu did this, because from her standpoint, she is indeed full of bitterness and has nowhere to confide.

Ye Chuyang put this question aside for now, and asked to see Chen Xiaorong. Dean Qi pointed out the window. Several nurses and some patients were sitting under the pavilion on the lawn, doing handwork with flexible willow branches and reed leaves.

Ye Chuyang and Jiang Ying went to the pavilion and saw the female nurse in Zhong Ling's spiritual cabin; more than ten years later, Chen Xiaorong still remembered what happened to Zhong Ling in the hospital, Ye Chuyang asked her Did Zhong Ling go to the hospital in July 2000? She said without thinking: "Yes, there is such a thing."

She was sitting on the railing with a round fan, her expression was not as indifferent as Zhong Ling saw in the spiritual cabin, but a kind-hearted middle-aged woman, she waved the round fan and said: I have a tendency to self-harm. I worked in the hospital 20 years ago. At that time, Zhong Ling’s home was near our hospital, so Zhong Ling’s injuries were always sent to our hospital, and I was in surgery. Basically, I took care of Zhong Ling every time. Ling. I got to know Zhong Ling's mother after going back and forth, and I went to see Zhong Ling at Zhong Ling's house a few times."

Zhong Ling and another young nurse sat on the other side of the railing and wove bracelets with reed leaves. There was a round table and stone bench in the middle of the pavilion. Ye Chuyang sat down on the stone bench and asked Chen Xiaorong: "You Are you familiar with Fang Yu?"

Chen Xiaorong looked a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I'm not very familiar with each other. We meet each other every time Zhong Ling is hospitalized. She often buys something and asks us to eat at the nurse's station, and then stays at the nurse's station to chat with us." She wrinkled Frowning, he paused for a while and continued, "Actually, we don't really want to chat with her. She is always complaining, saying how unfair God is to her, her daughter is mentally ill, and her husband always beats her, which can be heard in our ears. It's all calloused. But I can also understand her, as a woman, the trivial matters of parental management are her whole life, and it is indeed very difficult."

Ye Chuyang asked tentatively: "Then do you think her mental state was normal at that time?"

Chen Xiaorong smiled and said, "Are you telling the truth? I think she was a little nervous at the time. I advised her to see a psychiatrist, but I don't know if she did."

Ye Chuyang: "You said you went to Zhong Ling's house?"

Chen Xiaorong: "Yes, Fang Yu doesn't have many friends, maybe I'm easier to talk to, she often calls me and invites me to her house as a guest. You know, she...so I always decline, and I have been there twice if I couldn't. Second-rate."

Ye Chuyang: "Do you remember what she did?"

Chen Xiaorong recalled for a while, and said: "Fang Yu didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but Zhong Ling, that time Zhong Ling frightened me."

Ye Chuyang hurriedly asked, "What happened to Zhong Ling?"

Chen Xiaorong put down her fan with a solemn expression: "Zhong Ling's house is a very old-fashioned tube building, and they live on the top floor, so they have a small attic where they usually put some sundries. It must be the weekend that day, Zhong Ling didn't go to school, I Went to Zhong Ling's house and chatted with Fang Yu for a while—"

It was the weekend, Zhong Ling didn't go to school, she stayed at home with her mother, and later Chen Xiaorong came to visit.Fang Yu and Chen Xiaorong were chatting in the living room. When the tea was finished, Fang Yu went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea. Chen Xiaorong sat in the living room alone and watched TV.Gen Chen Xiaorong recalled that when Zhong’s house had a wooden ceiling, she was holding a cup of tea when a cloud of dust suddenly fell from the ceiling and fell into her cup. Hutong's footsteps... Then, cats meowed from the direction of the stairs leading to the attic at the back of the living room. Chen Xiaorong turned her head and saw four or five cats running down from the attic, meowing mournfully.

With a snap, the water glass in Chen Xiaorong's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. She looked at the attic and was stunned; the ears of those cats were all cut off, their eyes were poked out, and their hair was missing a piece. , even the skin leaked out where the hair was missing, and the front paws of a yellow civet cat curled up unnaturally, with blood foaming from its mouth.

Chen Xiaorong looked up the stairs and saw Zhong Ling standing at the end of the stairs. At that time, Zhong Ling was wearing a small suspender skirt, her arms and legs were exposed, and her body and face were covered with cat scratches. She looked coldly at the cats fleeing downstairs, holding a box knife covered in blood and cat fur in her hand.

Fang Yu heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing Zhong Ling's appearance, she scolded: "Lingling! Why did you catch the cat in the attic again? Look at you like this!"

But Zhong Ling stared at her mother with resentment, raised the utility knife in her hand and pointed it at her mother, crying hysterically: "It's you! It's you who hurt me! You want to kill me!"
