memory hole

After soaking in hot water, cut open the bag and pour it into a bowl for a drink.

He is used to the taste of this traditional Chinese medicine, the sour taste far exceeds the bitter taste.After drinking it for a few minutes, he sat still for a while, picked up a pill box with 'Prozac' on the dining table, took one, put it in his mouth, and took another big sip of water.After about 5 minutes, the effect of the two drugs made him very happy. He stood up and wanted to get something, but he forgot in an instant.After standing there thinking hard, he simply gave up, and then he picked up the phone to send a WeChat message to someone, but he forgot the power-on password in an instant.

Sitting staring at the phone for 5 minutes, he gradually remembered the password. He turned on the phone, but forgot who he wanted to send a text message to.Seeing Officer Deng's profile picture on the WeChat interface, he clicked on it.Officer Deng's WeChat profile picture changed from a chrysanthemum to a handsome photo of himself.Zhong Xian stared at the photo for a while, it was hard to imagine that this handsome guy would say that he had never had a passionate relationship.

He started sending WeChat messages to Officer Deng.I wrote a lot of words with the mobile phone's handwriting function: [A Yi, after what happened yesterday, I feel uneasy. The reason for the uneasiness is of course Xiao Zhu's call records. I know you don't take this case very seriously, but now I feel uneasy. It is very important, are you willing to let me help you? Since your bureau does not give you more support, I can be your helper and help you solve the case. ] After writing these words, he deleted them again. He felt that the words were too wordy and suspicious.

After thinking about it, he changed it into a short line: [I will help you solve the case.I just happen to be free recently. ] I feel too simple.Delete again.

[What you said last night aroused my interest. I want to help you solve the case and find out why he called me.] Before he finished typing, he accidentally pressed the wrong key and sent it out. He was very annoyed, and when he remembered that he could use the withdrawal function of WeChat after a minute, Officer Deng had already replied.

[good. ] Only this one word.But she really agreed to him.

Zhong Xian replied: [You have no help.Treat me as your follower. ]

Officer Deng replied: [I'm going to Longgang in the afternoon to visit Xiao Zhu's girlfriend's factory. ]

[good.See you this afternoon. ] Zhong Xian replied, thinking about it and adding another one. [Lunch together? ]

The violent wind and rain all day and night seemed to have stripped away all the muscles of the city, leaving no dust left. The weakening tail of the typhoon collided with the tall buildings like forests, and was scattered into countless disorderly whirlwinds. The rain was also being rolled up and flying around.The street is like a mirror, and the rain falls into a stream, which gathers to the side of the road and rushes to the drain.

Zhong Xian stood at the intersection of two roads, and the umbrella above his head could not provide much shelter in the turbulent wind, and the raindrops were blown by the wind and flew onto his face from time to time.He looked around as if in a magical world.

The figure of Police Officer Deng appeared in the misty rain, walking swiftly and holding a big dark blue umbrella. He stopped a few steps away from Zhongxian and looked at a black Grand Cherokee parked by the roadside.

"your car?"

Zhong Xian nodded: "Look at how sincerely I am helping you, sending people and cars."

"I didn't expect you to like American muscle cars." Officer Deng said.

They get in the car. "Where is Longgang?" Zhong Xian opened the navigation.

"I'll show you the way. Drive in the direction of Longgang first." Deng Yi said.He glanced around in the car, "Is it new?"

"Two years." Zhong Xian started the car.Drive onto Shennan Avenue.

"How did you get rich overnight?"

"I've never gotten rich. Is a 50 car considered rich here?"

"Who do you want to compare with? You have only been here for three or four years, and you have only been an executive for a year. Which rookie has such a speed of turning around. Why don't you teach it. I will not be a police officer and I will do it with you."

"The police officer's way of getting money is not more wild, just take your time. Oh, sorry. I don't mean to offend, I always believe that you are a gentleman."

"How much does it take to be rich, in your opinion? Somebody said you look like a promising guy."

Zhong Xian looked at the road ahead: "I thought so before."

Deng Yi looked back and forth in the car again, "You rarely drive this car. It doesn't even have any decorations. Don't you put a non-slip mat, perfume or something?"

"I used to have it. Later, I thought it was the best, so I threw it all away."

"You have some mental problems." Deng Yi said bluntly.

Zhong Xian stopped at the red light: "Yes, I exposed all my problems to you last night. What should I do?"

The corners of Deng Yi's lips turned upward: "I've always felt—whether there is a future or not, there is something that should be ranked before ability, called psychological endurance."

Zhong Xian was quite touched in his heart, but on the surface he deliberately calmed down: "Really?"

Officer Deng stared at the road ahead: "I am an example. When I first went on a mission, I was shaken by the idea of ​​being a policeman. I was frightened. Afterwards, the more I thought about it, the more afraid I became. I know it seems cowardly to say this. It is my understanding that psychological endurance should be ranked before ability. But you, as a white-collar worker, don't you want to express this meaning, right?"

Zhong Xian laughed at himself: "I always act like I have a mental problem in front of you. But in fact, I'm really not like this in front of other people."

"I believe it."

"Don't you find it strange?"

"You once said that I look like your friend when you were young. You took me as him." Deng Yi turned to look out the window. "In psychology it's called empathy."

"Maybe a little..." Zhong Xian laughed, feeling a little hot on his face.Instead, say, "I've been reading a book on psychology lately, too."

"Which one to read."

"I forgot the author's name. I'm so serious. I flipped through it casually, and it's called the reconstruction of life."

"That book... probably won't be useful to you," Deng Yi said. "Facing the problem, avoiding or diverting attention will not relieve people, but will only bring more pain in the future. In order to protect the mental system from being overwhelmed, the subconscious mind will make people think that they have some kind of disease. It'll be fine once it's healed."

Zhong Xian tapped the steering wheel with his fingers: "I can't see that you are still a psychologist."

"Sarcasm me? I just said it casually, and it made you laugh. This is my job, something in criminal psychology, and I will take a look at it occasionally."

"Then what do you think I'm running away from?" Zhong Xian asked with a smile.

"You should know it yourself."

"I really don't know."

"You and Miss Yang..."

Zhong Xian felt bored for a while: "Don't mention her again!" He interrupted the other party a little out of control, "You occasionally saw a part of my life, and thought you saw all of me? I don't love her, that's the reason. If you think this is the problem I avoided, that it caused my psychological problems, then your analysis is very wrong!"

"If you don't love such a beauty, who do you love?"

Zhong Xian shook his head vigorously.

"Excluding feelings, that is money." Deng Yi said, "You said that these two things made you feel the ultimate happiness in life."

Zhong Xian pointed to the road ahead, "Do you still want to keep driving? Let me know in advance where to turn."

"Just drive along Line 3." Deng Yi said.He then stared at his phone and stopped talking.

The car finally drove to the sparsely populated suburbs, where there are stretches of wild grassland, and the cloudy sky reveals a line of blue.The rain seemed to have stopped.

Several identical buildings stood neatly at the end of the barren grass.

They were stopped by the guards of the factory building, and after a while, a very simple-looking girl came to the guard room. She looked like a teenager, a little fat, with a round figure, and she was clearly a child.She looked very reserved, and her face was always red and extremely shy.

"I still need to ask you some questions. Does Zhu Xinhe have anything for you?" Deng Yi asked.In order to let the girl relax, they left the guard room and stood on the path outside the gate.

The girl carefully stood in a hidden corner next to the gate, shaking her head.

Zhong Xian saw this kind of rural girl for the first time, as if she had traveled from the 90s of the last century.Wearing a brightly colored baggy skirt that she thinks is in fashion, and a pair of old, dirty Styrofoam pink sandals on her feet.

"You have been together for so long, didn't he put anything with you?" Deng Yi asked.

Zhong Xian thinks that Deng Yi is looking for the things that Xiao Zhu used, probably because the police have some kind of DNA library, maybe he wants to use that method to try his luck.

The girl's eyes wandered, and she said shyly, "He bought me towels, basins and mats..."

"When did you come to work in this factory?"

"A year, more than a year ago."

"Where was it before?"

"Yunnan."

"Are you from Yunnan?"

"No. Rural Anhui."

"What's the name of the village?"

The girl muttered two words, but Zhong Xian didn't hear clearly.He saw Deng Yi write it down on his mobile phone.

"What did you do in Yunnan before?"

The girl seemed to be more nervous: "Look, look for my dad."

"Since your father is in Yunnan, why did you come to SZ again?"

The girl pursed her lips vigorously: "Come to work."

"How did you meet Xiao Zhu?" Zhong Xian interjected and asked. "Relax. We're the police and we're here to help you."

"Online." The girl's efforts were successful, and her expression no longer looked like she was about to cry, "He found me a job."

"Xiao Zhu helped you find the job in this factory?" Zhong Xian was surprised. "That's why you came from Yunnan to join him?"

The girl nods.Zhong Xian imagined how Xiao Zhu tricked a girl who might not be underage online. "Your father agrees to your coming?"

The girl nods.She didn't say a word.Answer what you ask.but her expression is more
