Killer and Healer

, asked intermittently: "If...if it wasn't in troubled times, would you...would you like me?"

Jiang Yuelou looked into her expectant eyes and nodded painfully.

Chu Ran was satisfied with just a nod, she tried her best to smile, and finally took another look at Jiang Yuelou, and slowly closed her eyes in his arms.

Jiang Yuelou unconsciously hugged her even tighter, with tears in his eyes, he said softly, "I'm sorry."

It rained all night, and there seemed to be silent weeping for the victims of the coup.

Early in the morning, in front of the newsstands, people rushed to buy newspapers. The newspaper headlines published: Zhan's uncle and nephew failed the coup, and Zhan Junbai's disappearance is a mystery.Another newspaper article published: The truth behind the Miemen case——Jiang Yuelou struggled against Jinmatang.It aroused a lot of discussion among the people.

At the same time, some police officers posted a wanted warrant with Zhan Junbai's portrait on the wall, which also attracted passers-by to watch.

The government building, the mayor's office, and Cai Changyao praised Jiang Yuelou without hesitation.

He put on his police uniform again and saluted the mayor solemnly.

Chen Yuzhi stood in front of a school, thanked Gao Yun, and took Chen Keying's hand through the alley to go home.

Along the way, trams rang through the streets; in the square, pigeons were chased by children; on the clock tower, the hands walked rhythmically, and with a click, the hour and minute hands overlapped, making a steady and long sound. knocking sound.

Jingcheng returned to normal order and restored a prosperous scene.

The high-spirited Jiang Yuelou has already changed into the director's uniform, walked firmly, walked up the stairs, and walked to the director's office in a heroic manner, starting his first day of work.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Jin Dacheng walked in, smiled at him and said, "Congratulations, Director Jiang."

"Congratulations, Deputy Director Jin."

The two looked at each other across the table and smiled tacitly.

Jin Dacheng sat down in front of his desk, and sighed pretendingly: "If you want to say, I have contributed a lot to put down the rebellion of Zhan's uncle and nephew. I took care of Zhan Tianqing's army. In the end, it was another You overwhelm me? Director, deputy director, multiple adverbs are ugly."

Jiang Yuelou looked at him half-jokingly: "It hasn't been a day or two since I crushed you, are you still not used to it?"

Jin Dacheng didn't like to hear these words, and immediately yelled: "I won't get used to it in my next life!"

"Work hard, I'm waiting for the day when you take the position of director."

Jin Dacheng snorted: "By the time I become director, you might even become the mayor. Why don't you beat me!"

Jiang Yuelou smiled: "Then I can't help it. In terms of age, you are older than me, and it is impossible for me to retire before you."

Jin Dacheng got up suddenly, leaned over and embraced him affectionately. "Director Jiang, look now that the rebellion has been quelled, and the Golden Horse Hall has been completely removed. Jingcheng is completely peaceful through singing and dancing. In a peaceful and prosperous age, it is too much for you to stay in this position. Why don't you hold on to that one, yes, Chen Yuzhi, go find a piece of land to grow medicinal materials, and see everyone's illness, it's pretty good."

Jiang Yuelou didn't know whether to laugh or laugh, and slapped his hand off unceremoniously, "I said you are so considerate today, so it was the weasel who gave the chicken New Year's greetings."

Jin Dacheng was not ashamed to be told, and continued to say with a smile: "What you said before is to save the country from a disease, and cure people from a disease. Now that everything is back on track, you might as well partner with Chen Yuzhi to save the dying and heal the wounded."

"Everyone performs their duties. My task is not only to restore peace to Jingcheng, but also to maintain peace in Jingcheng."

Jin Dacheng shrugged: "Well, the deputy director is the deputy director, anyway, it sounds better than the section chief."

The two looked at each other and smiled again.

In Yu Zhitang, Chen Yuzhi took down the closed sign on the door, pushed open the door, and everything in the dark room became brighter.

He turned his head, waved to Chen Keying who was standing obediently at the bottom of the steps, and then led her in together.

Chen Keying looked around Yu Zhitang's environment, and praised: "Brother, your clinic is awesome. I also want to be a doctor in the future."

Chen Yuzhi smiled dotingly at her: "Okay."

"Your clinic is called Yuzhitang, then mine is called Keyingtang."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Chen Keying played upstairs and downstairs for a while, walked to the triage desk and said to Chen Yuzhi: "Brother, I haven't been to school for a long time, I want to go back to class."

Chen Yuzhi patted her head: "Brother will take you back to school tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, I'll tell Ajuan the good news! See you tonight!" Chen Keying said, turned and ran out the door.

The day passed quickly, and it was dusk in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Yuelou came home from get off work, and met Chen Yuzhi at the intersection who was also returning home.

"What a coincidence." The two said in unison.

They naturally turned to the same street, watching the people on both sides cooking rice, playing chess, drinking tea, living and working in peace.

This is their common wish. Jiang Yuelou breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Chen Yuzhi: "The hard work is not in vain."

Chen Yuzhi immediately said, "Everything is worth it."

"In the blink of an eye, it's been half a month."

"Yeah, before I know it, it's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. What are you going to have for dinner?"

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, of course we eat glutinous rice balls. The wonton stall at the door cooks glutinous rice balls every day." Jiang Yuelou issued an invitation, "Together?"

Chen Yuzhi naturally agreed, and the two walked towards the wonton stand talking and laughing.

Not far ahead, there was a ragged beggar curled up in a corner, his body was messed up, his hair was a little long, covering his dirty face.

No one noticed that he turned out to be Zhan Junbai who narrowly escaped death.Jiang Yuelou caused him to lose everything, and at this moment he only wanted to kill him for revenge.

He has been waiting here for a long time, and now it is finally here.

Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi continued to chat, unaware of the imminent danger.

"I haven't ridden a horse for a long time. Going to a horse race this weekend? Will you?"

"Who says I can't, I will win you."

Jiang Yuelou laughed at him for talking big, and said confidently: "Then try it."

While talking, the two had already arrived in front of Zhan Junbai.

Zhan Junbai suddenly pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger towards Jiangyuelou. What he was holding was the Browning that had been given to Yutangchun and then returned to him.

Chen Yuzhi was the first to notice his change, and when he heard the gunshot, he stood in front of Jiang Yuelou without hesitation, and the bullet shot into his heart.

This accident made Jiang Yuelou unbelievable. With one hand, he supported Chen Yuzhi who was about to fall, and with the other hand, he drew his gun without hesitation, and shot at Zhan Junbai, who was still trying to attack him. The bullets shot one after another. shot into his body.

Zhan Junbai was shocked all over, and fell to the ground maintaining the posture of holding the gun. Blood gushed out from the wound on his body, and he stared at his eyes, unwilling to die.

Jiang Yuelou ignored his miserable state at all, with bloodshot eyes, he supported Chen Yuzhi vigorously, and said in a trembling voice, "Hold on. Hold on! Let's go to the doctor."

"I'm afraid it's too late." Chen Yuzhi leaned against him and smiled weakly at him, his voice very soft.

Jiang Yuelou couldn't help but pick him up and walked forward quickly.

Chen Yuzhi crawled on top of him, vomiting blood from his mouth, and muttered: "Yuelou, it's too late."

Jiang Yuelou ignored it and just repeated: "Hold on, hold on."

He ran forward as hard as he could with Chen Yuzhi on his back. The gunshot just now alarmed the people on both sides of the road, and they looked at the figures of the two in amazement.

"Is there a doctor! Go and call a doctor." Jiang Yuelou shouted in a hoarse voice while wearing heavy clothes.

Unfortunately no one answered.

"Put me down!" Chen Yuzhi said softly again.

Jiang Yuelou still refused, "Hold on, I order you to hold on."

"Yuelou, thank you..."

At some point in the sky, snow began to flutter again, and the snowflakes fell quietly on the two of them.

"Stop talking, keep your strength, we'll be at the hospital soon, Yu Zhi, it's almost there, hold on..." Jiang Yuelou stepped up, but the bumps that followed made Chen Yuzhi start coughing up blood, Blood spattered the side of his face.

He turned pale with fright, stopped quickly and put Chen Yuzhi on the ground, letting him lean in his arms.

Chen Yuzhi was still coughing up blood, his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and he murmured, "Take care... Take care of Keying..."

Jiang Yuelou kept wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth for him, and said angrily: "You take care of yourself, you go by yourself!"

He couldn't hold it back anymore, tears welled up in his eyes.

Chen Yuzhi saw it, and tried to raise his hand to help him wipe it off, but because of his weakness, he was about to fall halfway through the lift, and was caught by Jiang Yuelou, holding his hands tightly together.

Chen Yuzhi showed a smile: "I have no regrets, Yuelou, I'm tired and want to sleep."

Jiang Yuelou couldn't bear the pain of the imminent parting, bit his lip, and shook his body uncontrollably.

He saw that Chen Yuzhi finally couldn't hold on anymore, his head was tilted to one side, his hands were hanging down weakly, and he died in his arms.

He hugged him tightly, thinking of the scenes between the two of them from getting acquainted to the present, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse.

The two first met in the dock warehouse. Chen Yuzhi closed the box and tried to get up, but his whole body was covered by his shadow.

Hong Kong pursued Lucas, and Chen Yuzhi treated him for the first time, taking out the bullet from his body with focused eyes.

Ever since Chen Yuzhi knew that he had a mental illness, he had studied English medical books for a long time, insisted on treating him, pulled him out of the pain and resentment, and felt the warmth of a friend.

Mistakenly thinking that after Chen Keying's death, the two reached an agreement for the first time, vowing to destroy the Golden Horse Hall and protect the peace of the people of Jingcheng.

Chen Yuzhi was falsely imprisoned, he did not hesitate to become an enemy with Jin Da, and also wanted to take him out of prison.

At the charity gala, he looked at Chen Yuzhi and said, "When I was misunderstood and criticized by everyone, I was very fortunate that there were a few people who trusted me wholeheartedly."

And visits to mental institutions.Chen Yuzhi never gave up on him easily, and actively looked for opportunities for him.

In the end, when he returned from a narrow escape, the moment Chen Yuzhi saw him, he stepped forward and gave him a tight hug.

Those warm or heavy or painful memories of the past faded away one after another, and Jiang Yuelou suddenly fell back into the cold reality.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, gently covering Chen Yuzhi's breathless body, red blood and white snow, like plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter.

Jiang Yuelou inadvertently noticed that the edge of a photo was exposed from the corner of Chen Yuzhi's clothes.With trembling fingers, he took out the photo, which was the only photo of the two of them together. In the photo, Chen Yuzhi's face was stained with blood.

He held this photo and looked at it for a long time, then turned his gaze to Chen Yuzhi's face with closed eyes, and couldn't bear the despair any longer, so he burst into tears.

Snowflakes flew and soon turned them into two snowmen.

This night of the Lantern Festival was supposed to be a day for them to celebrate their reunion, but only Jiangyuelou was left alone.

He walked in a daze, sat down in front of the wonton stall, and called the proprietress for two bowls of glutinous rice balls.

He looked at the glutinous rice balls in the bowl, remained silent for a moment, then raised his head, as if he saw Chen Yuzhi sitting opposite him with a smile.

He subconsciously grinned and pushed one of the bowls of glutinous rice balls over, but in an instant, Chen Yuzhi's figure gradually faded away, and finally disappeared.

As if waking up from a dream, he suddenly picked up the spoon and stuffed glutinous rice balls into his mouth, choking and almost unable to swallow.

He just leaned over the table like this, wiping away tears painfully and stubbornly, clutching the photo tightly in his hand.There are two vivid smiling faces in the photo.

After several days of heavy snowfall, it finally cleared up.A round of rising sun shrouded Jingcheng, making everything full of vigor and vitality.

Jiang Yuelou had come out of his grief, and he put the framed photo on the bedside table.

He changed into the police chief's uniform, left the bedroom and walked to the patio.

Chen Keying had already gotten up, sitting quietly in the patio holding the little white cat, and turned to look at him.

Jiang Yuelou knelt down, stroked Keying's hair, gave her a gentle smile, and continued walking outside.

His eyes were full of determination, his steps were firm, and he embarked on a new journey.

Chen Keying suddenly ran out of the door and shouted at his back: "Brother, come back early from get off work."

"Okay." Jiang Yuelou turned his head against the light, and two figures appeared under the dazzling sunlight.

One is resolute and stalwart, the other is gentle and compassionate.

They raised their hands at the same time, waved to Chen Keying, then turned around and rushed towards the blazing light.
