doctor is cold

There was no light in the house, it was a little dark, and the windows were tightly closed. When the door was opened, there was a burst of bloody smell, which made both of them frown uncontrollably.

"The key is stolen, so it's not easy to turn on the light, so I can only use the flashlight." Yi Qing said.

"This is not the scene of the first crime." Zheng Xidao, squatting down, carefully inspecting the scene.

"Well." Yi Qing said, "It was the neighbor next door who found the body. Because the door was ajar, he opened it curiously and took a look. Unexpectedly, the husband and wife were sitting opposite each other with their heads bowed. No, after a closer look, he found that the face of his wife who was facing the door was pale, he was startled, and immediately called an ambulance and called the police."

"You said the door was ajar?" Zheng Xi looked at Yi Qing incredulously.

"Is there something wrong?" Yi Qing asked.

"No, no, how can the door be ajar, it should be closed, it should be closed, it should be closed..." Zheng Xi grabbed his hair as if he had fallen into a demon Constantly murmuring.

"The door should be closed? Why?" Yi Qing asked.

"This method is obviously similar to the last time. After killing someone in other places in the house, he puts the person in a good posture and sits at the dining table, as if eating. However, last time the door was closed, and... ..." Zheng Xi's head hurt.

"So, you're saying that the murderers in these two cases are two people, and this is a copycat killing, not a serial killing?" Yi Qing asked, "But the last time the case was blocked very quickly, it didn't cause much trouble. How could it be so sensational that someone imitated it?"

"No."

"what?"

"Not to imitate the last case, but to imitate the case ten years ago." Zheng Xi said, standing up, "and there are two people imitating."

"Ten years ago?" Yi Qing looked at Zheng Xi suspiciously, "You mean someone killed someone like this ten years ago?"

Zheng Xi looked at Yi Qing, and smiled knowingly: "That's right, you were only thirteen or fourteen years ago, so it's normal if you don't know." With a bit of bitterness in her smile, she stroked Yi Qing's hair, How much she wanted to be like Yi Qing, and she didn't know anything about the case ten years ago, maybe... maybe everything would be different.

"Ten years ago, someone killed a couple in the same way."

"Then... the murderer, have you caught it?" There was a tremor in Yi Qing's voice.

"Caught it. It's the couple's neighbor's son, who is also the so-called reporter. It's really... a thief calling for a thief." Zheng Xi sneered.

"Oh, that's it, it's fine if you catch it." Yi Qing said, "No wonder you think it's a copycat murder. Since you're in prison, it's impossible to commit a crime."

"Although I don't think it's him this time, that person has already come out." Zheng Xidao, "Ten years in prison, it seems that the sentence has been commuted. When I saw the case a few days ago, I went to investigate. That person, Released from prison the day before yesterday."

"Isn't that dangerous?"

"Yeah, seeing my modus operandi being imitated, I might want to compete." Zheng Xi said.

"Since that's not the case, why did you imitate both times? Like you said, maybe one of them was the murderer himself ten years ago?"

"Because there is no progress. Ten years ago, the murderer committed the crime for the first time. The method is not mature, but after the failure, if he wants to commit the crime in the same way, he will improve it. Did you fall twice in one place?" Zheng Xidao, "The two imitations are only different in the details of the door, which means that the two murderers may know each other and have discussed it, but because of some relationship, they cannot have close contact for the time being, so The details were not well thought out, making it easy to see that it was the work of two people."

"Then...why did they imitate this failed modus operandi ten years ago? Aren't they afraid of being caught?" Yi Qing asked in a low voice, his voice was as soft as a whisper.

"This shows that they have identities that will not be suspected." Zheng Xidao, "Okay, let's go, there is nothing to see here."

Yi Qing quickly chased after him, closed the door, and the two of them took off the rubber gloves they wore when they entered the door. Yi Qing put the gloves in his pocket and asked curiously, "What kind of identity? What do you think?"

"I don't know." Zheng Xi shook his head. Seeing Yi Qing looked at him in disbelief, he smiled wryly, "I really don't know. The more the situation is like this, the more I don't know what kind of identity it will be."

"...Really." Yi Qing said, muttering softly.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Yi Qing said, "It's getting late, should I take you back to the hospital? You haven't completed the discharge procedures yet, have you?"

"Yeah." Zheng Xi nodded, remembering Dr. Yin's cold face, and sighed.

"What are you doing, you look so bitter, that Dr. Yin, will he eat you?" Yi Qing looked at her amusedly.

"I don't know why." Zheng Xi shook his head.

******

In the hospital at night, it's like entering another world. It's quiet, as if there's no one there. It's no wonder that many ghost stories are related to the hospital. Such an environment looks eerie.

The corridor is not completely dark, and several lamps are turned on, which is convenient for the doctors and nurses on duty to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and also avoids stumbling due to the small range of the TV field.

But even so, this quiet and excessive environment still makes people panic.

Zheng Xi moved slowly towards her room.

Da, da, da, da.

The sound of approaching footsteps not far away made Zheng Xi froze in place, unable to move.

A dazzling beam of light came over and flashed into Zheng Xi's eyes. Zheng Xi tilted his head, and heard a soft, doubtful voice: "Miss Zheng?"

"Ah, it's Nurse Li, who surprised me." Zheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief.Watching Nurse Li put away the flashlight.

"I said, it turns out that Miss Zheng is back at this time, no wonder..."

"No wonder what?"

"Doctor Yin said that I should not know. I'm still surprised. It seems that he guessed that you will come back tonight." Nurse Li said, "Then Miss Zheng, I will take you back."

"You said... Dr. Yin has come back?" Zheng Xi asked in surprise, and followed Nurse Li back to the ward.

"Yeah, not long after you said you wanted to find her." Nurse Li said, "But if you move fast enough, she will be gone in a short while."

"I'm not in a hurry, and Dr. Yin refused to let go." Zheng Xi smiled sarcastically.

"Okay, rest early, if you want to be discharged from the hospital, you have to recover better." Nurse Li sent Zheng Xi to the door, saw her go in, left a word and left.

Zheng Xi is not in such a hurry to go out now, I don't know why, if it wasn't for Yi Qing's sudden phone call, she didn't really want to leave the hospital, sometimes she thinks it's not bad to just live like this, if you don't look at it like If it is the hospitalization fee that burns money.

Zheng Xi lives in a three-person room, and the various expenses are actually not too much, only around [-] yuan a day, but the problem is that she hardly has any income at ordinary times!The cases of cats, cats and dogs in the detective agency cost a few hundred yuan each time, and only if you are lucky enough to catch up with some cheating case, will you charge more, but this is really irregular, causing her to pay even the rent sometimes. Can't afford it.So sometimes she wanted to ask if she could get a folding chair for two yuan a day, but when she met Yin Linru's eyes, she didn't dare to say anything.

There weren't many patients in the hospital recently, so she said it was a three-person room, but she actually lived alone, so even though she came back late, she didn't have to deliberately lower her voice, she tidied up and went to bed by herself.

Lying on the bed, she was still thinking about the things she discovered today.It's almost the same as ten years ago. It can be said that it is a deliberate imitation, but because of this, there are many doubts.

After all, ten years have passed since the case. Apart from the murderer, himself, and the police who participated in the investigation of the original incident, who else would know the situation in the room so well?No matter how sensational the case was ten years ago, it was ten years ago. Who else would remember it, or even deliberately imitate it?With so many details, how meticulously the murderer had to study... Could it be that he was the same person back then?So... Shall we start with the people involved in the case ten years ago?

......

The stretcher, the white cloth, the cold corpse, the stiff touch, the pale face... kept flashing in front of my eyes, and then the picture went black, and it turned into a boy looking at me in bewilderment and shock... Became the weeping girl and her mother with spiteful eyes...

No, no...not!it's... it's him...

"Miss Zheng, wake up, wake up...Zheng Xi, Zheng Xi!"

A cold voice is calling himself, who is it?

Zheng Xi wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't. There was something oppressing her, making her breathless. There was a warm touch in the palm of her hand, as if she had caught a life-saving straw. She was holding onto it tightly. …

"Uh-huh-"

Zheng Xi sat up abruptly, panting violently, not even caring about the faint pain from her abdomen, she just wanted to take a good breath of fresh air, the strong and clear feeling of suffocation made her feel like she was dying from the Back from the edge.

"What did you dream about?"

This voice again, this—

Zheng Xi was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head suddenly, only then did she realize that Dr. Yin was standing in front of her, and her hand was being tightly grasped by her. She retracted her hand with a swipe, only to realize that the other's white hand had been pinched by herself. flushed.

Yin Linru frowned, looked at his hands, there was doubt in his eyes, but also forbearance, Zheng Xi didn't know what she was thinking, and just about to speak, she heard her say: "I suggest you go to the psychiatrist. Be a psychiatrist. examine."

"Eh? No need, I'm fine..."

"If you don't want to fall asleep and won't wake up one day, feel free. I'm going to the bathroom, and I'll talk about the discharge when I come back." Yin Linru hurried away after finishing speaking.
