[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

Ah Ci felt that things were very unusual.If the car accident between him and Ronghua was pure accident, what about Chen Haoshan's car accident?Could it be a coincidence that these two traffic accidents happened one after another within a week?Or is there some connection between them?

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.Ah Chu walked in, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand.

"how do you feel today?"

"It's okay." Ah Ci glanced at the disposable porridge bowl with the logo of the porridge shop on it, and asked casually, "You bought it in Zhongjie?"

"Well, I don't have time to boil it for you." Ah Chu put the bowl on the table and opened the lid, "Drink it while it's hot."

Ah Ci looked at the pumpkin and millet porridge in the bowl and hesitated, he really had no appetite.

Ah Chu raised his eyebrows and asked, "I can already sit up, do you still need me to feed?"

"No need." Reluctantly holding the porridge bowl, Ah Ci scooped up a spoonful and drank it, sighing, "Rabbits still have radishes and cabbage to eat, but I can only drink porridge. If this goes on, my teeth and sense of taste will be exhausted." It's going to degenerate."

"Be patient, your stomach has been irritated enough by the medicine, take care of yourself before thinking about anything else."

Ah Ci took another two sips, curled his lips: "Then bring some pickles next time, this porridge has no taste at all."

"Can't you swallow it if it's tasteless?" Ah Chu snatched the bowl and tasted it, "I think it's good. You used to eat too much spicy food, so the taste is so strong. I don't know that low-fat and low-salt are advocated now. ?"

"Low-oil and low-salt does not mean no oil and no salt! Yashu's soup is well seasoned, so it won't be so bland..." Ah Ci suddenly felt something was wrong.Yashu only delivered soup on the day he just woke up, and left after saying a few clichés about visiting a sick man, and never appeared again.He tentatively asked, "I haven't seen Yashu for several days, did you guys quarrel again?"

"No, you think too much." Ah Chu said lightly.

Ah Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, studied his brother's expression, and said firmly, "No, there must be something wrong!"

Ah Chu pinched the bridge of his nose, and threw the phone on the hospital bed helplessly: "If you don't believe me, call her and ask."

"You think I don't dare?" Ah Ci chuckled and grabbed the phone, flipping through the address book to find Yashu's number.

"Why don't you dare?" Ah Chu smiled lightly, and after Ah Ci pressed the dial button, he said, "Besides, if she knows that you made this call specially to drink the Cordyceps lily duck meat soup she cooked It will definitely be an honor to call."

Ah Ci originally thought that Ah Chu would stop him from making a call at the last moment, so that the truth could be revealed.Who knew that this guy was so calm, he didn't know what to say to Yashu after the call was connected, he couldn't really say "sister-in-law, I want to drink your stewed soup", right?What's the reason?

In desperation, he pushed the phone to Ah Chu's ear: "You chat."

Ah Chu took the phone with one hand, smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, and chatted with a good temper: "Hello? Yashu, I'm in the hospital. Ah Ci complained to me that the porridge is not good, but I like your soup. I'm too embarrassed to call you, let me speak for him."

Ah Ci was not annoyed, just like someone didn't talk about him on the phone, he played with his mobile phone.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Ah Chu stopped teasing him: "I was joking, he didn't say... well, I heard crying, is it Ai Zhong or Ai Hua? Let's not talk, you hurry over..."

Before Ah Chu finished speaking, the phone rang in his ear.

Ah Ci looked at Ah Chu in feigned surprise: "How can you still make calls on your mobile phone? It's amazing!"

Ah Chu frowned and looked at the screen of his mobile phone.Unsurprisingly, Aci's name was displayed on it.He was a little embarrassed, but also found it funny. He shrugged and said, "I lost, so I have nothing to say."

"Do you know where you lost? Underestimate the enemy!" Hanging up the phone, his brother's ringing stopped immediately.Ah Ci said proudly, "It's okay to keep this trick to lie to your two sons."

Ah Chu glared at him, and admitted with a smile: "You are indeed smarter than I thought."

"Hurry up, what's the matter with you two?" Ah Ci was not completely immersed in the excitement of defeating the little black rabbit, he still remembered the purpose of testing the other party.After finally finding a breakthrough, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue and ask things clearly.

"It's nothing, it's just a little friction about parenting...don't gossip like this, stop worrying about it, and heal your injuries first." Ah Chu stuffed the porridge bowl on the table into Ah Ci's hand, "It's almost cold , drink it quickly!"

"I think I know you again." Ah Ci glanced at Ah Chu.Just that little trick, the screen of the phone lights up when I hang up, and I'm still talking about it, it looks like it!He couldn't help but joked, "Since you entered the house, the porridge is probably getting cold. These two sentences are the truth."

"Thank you, forget it. The porridge is getting cold."

Ah Ci was annoyed when he heard this, he had just pulled back a round, when he inadvertently exposed his flaws again.He drank a few mouthfuls of porridge sullenly, and then asked, "You've been running here a lot lately, dad doesn't suspect it?"

"I keep saying I'm busy with work."

"You can tell nonsense so fast!"

"It's not a lie. I came to the hospital to learn about the operation."

"You don't delay." Ah Ci shook his head and laughed, and slowly drank the porridge in the bowl.After rinsing his mouth with clear water, he suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Take me to see Ronghua."

Ah Chu thought for a while, and asked, "What did we say before? Do you think you're doing well now?"

"No. But I'm mentally prepared enough to withstand the blow." Ah Ci looked at Ah Chu calmly, "Don't hide it from me, I know she's gone, I just want to see her one last time."

Ah Chu was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's too late, her brother has already taken her away."

Ah Ci's face changed, and he nodded stiffly.

He still remembered Rongsheng and Ronghua bickering so easily and naturally when they were watching the painting exhibition.How does the polite artist face the current situation?He asked with some difficulty: "Her brother, are you very sad?"

"I just passed out from crying. I woke up and continued to cry." Ah Chu stated the facts in a tone without any emotion.

Ah Ci twitched the corner of his mouth: "Aren't you used to seeing such things, so you won't be touched anymore?"

Ah Chu nodded: "Indeed, this kind of thing is not new in the hospital. But it should be commonplace in the police station, right? The two of us are really in the wrong business, facing this kind of desperate scene all day long."

"...Did you comfort him a few words?"

"No. At that time, you were not out of danger, so I didn't care about other people." Ah Chu put his hands on his forehead and said ironically, "I'm really indifferent, right?"

Ah Ci felt inexplicably uncomfortable.He is not out of the dangerous stage, it should be shortly after the operation.It's not hard to imagine Ah Chu's exhausted and tense state just after having his blood drawn.Maybe even thinking about whether he will be the next promotion?The situation of waiting for fate to pronounce judgment is really torture.

Ah Ci felt uncomfortable, at first he wanted to thank him in a serious manner, but felt that Ah Chu's life-saving grace could not be paid off in two words so hastily.You should keep it in your heart and look for opportunities to repay it later.As for the specific form of repayment, even if you don’t complain a few words on weekdays, it’s better than an understatement to thank the reality.Besides, the current atmosphere, if we continue to talk seriously, it will freeze.So he half-jokingly said: "If you reimburse the 500 I paid for the fine, you won't be indifferent."

"I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't settle accounts with me. It won't do you any good if you settle."

Ah Ci was a little surprised and asked: "Why, you can still make me 'blood debt'?"

Ah Chu snorted coldly: "I dare not! You are safe and sound, don't let me worry about it and get some blood transfusions, I'm going to burn incense."

"You are talking more and more like Dad." Ah Ci scratched his ears, expressing that he was tired of hearing such clichés.

"Really..." Ah Chu lowered his eyelashes, staring at the tip of his shoe in a daze.

Ah Ci didn't think much, and directly brought the topic back to the car accident: "How much do you know about the accident?"

"It was a large unlicensed truck that hit you. It was a hit-and-run. That's all I know."

Ah Ci asked: "Did the surveillance capture it? Are there any witnesses? Can you describe the physical characteristics of the perpetrator? And..."

"Don't ask any more." Ah Chu interrupted him, "Those are the work of the traffic police. For you, taking care of your health is the most important thing right now."

Ah Ci was anxious, and wanted to tell him that it might not be an ordinary car accident, it might be a deliberate murder.But when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them—the bloodshot eyes in Ah Chu's eyes fully showed that this guy hadn't had a good rest recently.The accident had taken him too long to panic over the assumption that he had caused the accident.

As for the details of the car accident, we can still learn from other sources.I remember that Ding Zi had a classmate in the traffic team, who might be able to help.Ah Ci decided to pretend to be rest assured on the surface, first to reassure his elder brother, and then ask Ding Zi to investigate when he has time.

……

After the stitches were removed, Aci could basically be discharged from the hospital.But his elder brother has not been able to discharge him from the hospital for a long time and let him continue to rest.

Ah Ci understood what his brother was thinking.There is nothing wrong with being discharged from the hospital. The question is where will I live in the future?If you go home to raise him, you can't hide the injury from the old man, and maybe you will make a fuss to make him resign and stay at home to gnaw on the old man.But there are too many memories of Ronghua in the rented house, seeing things and thinking about people will only immerse in sadness, which is not an ideal choice for rest.Besides, in his current state, there is no one to take care of him, so Ah Chu will definitely not feel relieved.

But it's not a problem to live in the hospital all the time.Especially when Xia Yuechun came to the ward every day to display his poisonous tongue skills, it was a great challenge to Ah Ci's endurance.He often has the upper body feeling of Zhou Xingchi's version of Monkey King, and he really wants to knock down with a cane, and the whole world will be clean.

Ah Chu also noticed that his younger brother's face was getting more and more stinky, presumably the old classmate was entertaining Ah Ci with the frequency of three meals a day and midnight snacks.As a dominant younger brother, Ah Chu couldn't sit still anymore, and talked to classmate Xia several times.However, his mouth is so virtuous. It is estimated that even in the era of war, Comrade Yuechun died heroically, and only his mouth is left, and he will still fight aggressively.Ah Chu finally compromised and agreed that Ah Ci should be discharged from the hospital, but no matter where he chose to live, he had to be with him.

The night before he was discharged from the hospital, Ah Ci packed up his belongings and was about to rest when Ding Zi called.He told Ah Ci all the details and speculations that should be said and should not be said in the car accident.

At that time, a large truck suddenly ran towards their car, Ronghua instinctively turned the steering wheel to dodge in his direction.But she soon realized that this put Ah Ci in a dangerous position.In a blink of an eye, she turned the steering wheel back... Judging from the tire tracks at the accident scene, it is not difficult to analyze her last thoughts.

When Ah Ci heard this, he immediately choked up, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart.At the last moment of his life, Ronghua made the decision to sacrifice himself to save him.But he didn't know it, and missed her in a coma, and never saw her again.

Ding Zi persuaded him a few words, and said: "I have to tell you a detail. According to the surveillance video, the driver who caused the accident was wearing a mask and hat. He got out of the car and came to open the right front door to check your condition. About ten Seconds later, he returned to the truck and slipped away. The traffic team speculated that the perpetrator originally wanted to save you, but found that you two were seriously injured, and he might not be able to rescue you. He didn't dare to bear the consequences for a while, so he escaped But I think that a few seconds is enough for the perpetrator to jump down to see your injury, and it takes more than ten seconds. I am afraid it is not so simple... Do you still have your wallet? I always feel that the owner is armed with a mask and a hat Very thoughtful, and drove an unlicensed truck into it again, could it be a 'crash and robbery party'?"

Ah Ci was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Can't the door on Ronghua's side be opened?"

"It hit the front of the car, and both doors can be opened, but the perpetrator has only been to your side."

"It shouldn't be for money... Thank you, this detail is very important, I probably know what the other party is looking for."

"Ah Ci, have you identified the perpetrator?"

"Well, I'll go and verify." Chen Haoshan's suspicion is very high, the car accident is likely to be just to get back the "evidence" - although it is just a USB flash drive that he used casually to test, but there is no criminal evidence.Ah Ci had mixed feelings in his heart, and even joked that Ah Chu underestimated the enemy, so why not himself?Using small tricks to tempt the suspect, and then neglecting to guard against it afterwards, eventually led to a fatal disaster, and also implicated Ronghua...

Ding Zi worried: "You have something to discuss with everyone. The injury is not healed yet, so don't take risks alone."

"Don't worry, the perpetrator can't do anything to me now." Ah Ci rubbed his forehead, thinking of Chen Haoshan's death.That was by no means an accident or karma, and it was likely that the main messenger who hid deeper was trying to silence the case—the case became more and more complicated.It's a pity that he is still injured and cannot investigate immediately.

But when he returns to the team, he must bring the mastermind behind the scenes to justice to comfort Ronghua's spirit in heaven.

Thinking of this, Ah Ci couldn't help clenching his fists.
