Live with the forensic chief

Lin Pu didn't know when he noticed Li Junshen's abnormality.

After he finished talking to Yu Fei about this in the morning, Yu Fei told him that he would follow him later, maybe he could find a suitable opportunity to sigh.

Originally, Lin Pu didn't intend to show these flabbergasting things at this time, but when he saw Yu Fei and the others coming in, he deliberately began to turn Li Junshen's head to the other side.

But I didn't expect that Mr. Li didn't seem to treat him as an outsider, and he was shaking all over.

...Lin Pu himself couldn't believe it.

"Take it away." Yu Fei waved his hand and asked the following policemen to take away Li Junshen.

"Hey." Lin Pu pulled him from behind, "Thanks."

"I really, really admire you." Yu Fei cupped his hands and said, "Are you really not going to come to the city bureau to be an interrogation police officer?"

"..." Lin Pu smiled helplessly.

"Brother Shu Meng is miserable. He must have never won the fight between the two of you." Yu Fei glanced at his watch, "After all, the recording was collected illegally... I don't know how much evidence will be used in the end, or it may be useless at all, but it's okay He can't get away with it. But it's all over, do you want to go back to the law firm or go back to the city bureau with me to make a statement?"

"...Go back to the law firm." Lin Pu paused, "I didn't record it either."

"..." Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "So you are bluffing?"

Lin Pu shrugged his shoulders and put the bag on his shoulders.

"Okay, I'll go first." Yu Fei said, "Contact me if I need something."

"Well, see you later." Lin Pu said.

When Lin Pu left the coffee shop, the people suddenly felt a little emotional.Seeing Li Junshen's appearance, I thought about the other people in the building. The glory and wealth were scattered all over the place, and in the end only these were left. hell.

So what is real and what is illusory.

Thinking so, Lin Pu walked to the door.He let out a long breath and felt the phone vibrate.He lowered his eyes and saw that it was Shu Meng.

Lin Pu picked it up quickly: "Hello?"

"Come out?" Shu Meng said with a smile.

"Well... what about you." Lin Pu asked, "How's it going inside?"

"It's very good. The facilities here are good, and the food is delicious. I just finished the admission test and I need to talk to the doctor later." Shumeng said, "Actually, there is nothing else, I just miss you a little bit."

Lin Pu's heart was moved by the deep voice that was slightly coquettish and aggrieved, and he said softly: "We have only been separated for a long time..."

"Don't you miss me?" Schumeng asked.

"I think." Lin Pu said, "You won't let me see you."

"Anyway, be good and don't look at me." Shu Meng said, "Send me WeChat when you have time, but your phone may be confiscated for cooperating with the treatment."

"I see." Lin Pu said, "The case needs finishing work, so I'll go to work first."

"Yes." Shu Meng said, "...I love you, Lin Pu."

Lin Pu froze in place.

His hand holding the phone trembled slightly from excitement.

Like a mantra that stirs up waves, but also like a good medicine to soothe the mind, Lin Pu is still a little upset when he thinks that this person looks lazy and affectionate in front of him, and he can't see the expression when he said this sentence so solemnly.

"...You tell me in person." Lin Pu said, "This sentence doesn't count."

"Okay." Shu Meng laughed, "Then wait for me to come back and tell you in person."

……

After hanging up the phone, Shu Meng put the phone in his pocket and pushed open the white door of the ward behind him.

The middle-aged doctor wearing glasses looked at the screen: "Finished?"

"En." Shu Meng replied and closed the door behind him.

"Sit." The doctor still didn't look at him, and pointed to the chair.

Shu Meng sat on the chair next to him. This chair looked very comfortable, and it felt like people were sinking in it.

The doctor typed on the screen for a while before finally turning to look at him: "I've finished your test."

"Hmm." Shu Meng also looked at him, "Is there any result?"

"It's just a test, and there will be a lot of tests and treatments in the future." The doctor said, "First of all, you are not a severe disease of hallucinations and delusions syndrome, nor do you have a history of drug abuse, let alone a serious disease such as mental disorder. , it seems quite optimistic at the moment. It may not even take three months to complete the whole set of treatment."

"What about the pessimistic ones?" Shumen said.

"The crux of the matter is yourself," said the doctor. "You need to know, who is the person you have been fearing?"

Shu Meng rubbed his hands together and fell silent.

"Come on, lie down."

As the doctor said, he used the remote control in his hand to allow the seat to be put down. Shumeng felt a drop in his back, and his body was gradually lying flat.

"Tell me if you feel uncomfortable," the doctor said.

"Okay, Doctor Zhang." Shu Meng waved his hand, "Just this height."

"Close your eyes." Dr. Zhang fixed it on the top of his head and around his body, pasted patches that can sense mood swings and measure other data, and he began to guide Shumeng, "Relax, relax..."

It didn't take long.

Shumen began to be in a long dream.

In the dream, he was still familiar with the scene. The dark old building covered with vines in summer in the Provincial Medical University may be darker than usual.

Shu Meng felt that his senses were more awakened, hearing, sight, and even the familiar smell of disinfectant.

He began to slowly feel immersed in this dream.

He walked over from the side of the corridor, pushed open the door, and saw Luo Ren sitting in the office, opposite him was a person with his back turned to him.

The man was wearing a black sweater and a peaked cap.The overall figure is not thin, but it is so thin that you can see the slightly raised butterfly bone on the back.

Luo Ren didn't notice his entry at all, and continued to discuss important matters with the person in front of him.

Schumeng had a strong feeling that this man was "he".

Shu Meng said, "Mr. Luo, who is he?"

Luo Ren glanced at Shu Meng, obviously aware of his existence, but then said to the people in front of him: "You go."

The person in front of him stood up, and he turned and walked over, rubbing his body. Shu Meng grabbed his arm and tried to turn him around. He shouted, "Stop! Who are you?"

The man struggled to break away from Shu Meng's arm, so strong that Shu Meng couldn't hold it with one hand at all. He was pushed back two steps, and the man had already snatched the door away.

Shu Meng turned to look at Luo Ren: "Teacher Luo? Did he kill my parents?"

Luo Ren didn't answer him, this time it was completely as if he didn't exist, and continued to do his own thing.

Shu Meng couldn't get his response, so he could only look left and right, and finally ran towards the door. He just took two steps, and found that the corridor outside seemed to be getting longer...was it getting longer, or was it just like that in his memory? long?He was a little lost.

He could see the figure standing at the end of the corridor, with his hands in the pockets of his sweater, watching him quietly.

Shu Meng and him were a few meters apart, looking at each other from afar.

The other party couldn't see his face clearly, but there was always a cold aura around him that no one should get close to. Shu Meng was thinking of getting closer to see him clearly, when he saw the other party suddenly flashing a gleaming knife from his hand.The silver light refracted by the blade was cold and dangerous in the dimness.

Shu Meng immediately shouted: "Come on! I'm not afraid of you!"

The other party didn't move forward, but just stood there motionless, not knowing whether it was waiting or silent.

After a while, someone appeared on the other side of the corridor.

He took a closer look and saw the figures of a man, a woman and a child.

Shu Meng was stunned, and he recognized who it was almost immediately: "...Mom? Dad? Brother?"

Several people did not respond, but Hei Ying suddenly pulled out the knife, grabbed the woman's hair, and stabbed her in the abdomen.

At the moment when the blood spattered out, Shu Meng subconsciously wanted to yell out, and a strong sense of suffocation overwhelmed him. He broke away from it instantly, woke up with a start, and sat up suddenly.

Then he gasped violently, his round eyes were bloodshot, and the sound of his inhalation almost overwhelmed all the sounds that could be felt in his ears now.

Shu Meng looked up at the pale ceiling above, swallowed, trying to calm himself down.

His neck was covered with sweat, and his forehead hair was soaked.

"It's all right." The doctor was beside him, pulling out the measuring instrument for him, "You can get up now, go wash your face, it will make you feel better."

"Hmm..." Shu Meng nodded.

It was a dream, it really was a dream.

He got down from the chair and whispered: "Are you hypnotizing me? I saw that black shadow."

"Just let you sleep for a while." The doctor said, "You know what? You slept for three hours."

"..." Shu Meng sighed, "So long? I feel like it's only 5 minutes."

He tidied himself up, got out of bed, and walked slowly to the bathroom in the corridor.

The corridors of the treatment institution are very bright, and the warm orange sunset seeps in.There were doctors in twos and threes outside the department standing in the corridor. Shu Meng walked through the corridor into the bathroom and splashed water on his face in front of the mirror.

He raised his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, and gradually calmed down.

Water rolled down his cheeks and dripped into the pool.Shu Meng stared at his own face in the mirror, always feeling more and more unfamiliar.

"Crack".

He took out a piece of paper, wiped off the water droplets on his face, and threw it into the trash can beside him.Then he stood up straight and slowly put his hands into his trouser pockets.

He stared at this action of himself in the mirror for a while.

In reality, the black shadows seen in dreams always have their hands in their pockets.Shu Meng looked at himself in the mirror and found that he had never seriously observed his subconscious movements.

Could the invisible shadow, or the hallucination, be me?

The man in the dark, staring at himself quietly, with his hands in his pockets.

Is it yourself?

Someone entered the bathroom, interrupting Schumeng's thoughts.He re-squeezed the hand sanitizer and began rubbing his fingers one by one to wash his hands.

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Pu returned home after finishing his work, and opened the door with a key.

The room was empty, Schumeng's first night away.

Before Lin Pu entered the door, he had been convincing himself that he must be alone tonight, but after he actually opened the door, the familiar atmosphere and inexplicable sense of emptiness would still make him feel slightly disappointed.

There will not be a familiar person posting up from behind, hugging him for a while.

No one will cook him dinner in the kitchen.

No one will find him an ideal solution when he encounters difficulties that are difficult to solve.

No one hugged him to sleep at night.

Lin Pu put the takeaway box on the table, because he wanted to try not to look too miserable.And because he won a lawsuit, he ordered four dishes and one soup for himself and spread it all over the table, ready to reward himself.

After opening the video, Yang Lili had a headache with her homework on the other side of the video, and held up her notebook to show Lin Pu: "Brother... I really don't know how to do it, can you call Brother Shu Meng to help me?" Look, I sent him WeChat and he ignored me."

"He's not free." Lin Pu said, "...can you take a picture, I can see clearly by holding it up."

Yang Lili pursed his lips, seeming to have noticed the disposable chopsticks in his hand, and said, "Brother, you are miserable today, why are you eating takeaway? Where's Brother Shu Meng?"

"He's busy." Lin Pu said.

"You two won't quarrel, right? Separation?" Yang Lili said, "Did he bully you!"

"..." Lin Pu really wanted to say, "Children don't care about adults' affairs", but after thinking about it, he became old-fashioned, so he could only say, "He is sick and needs to stay in the hospital for a while."

"Ah." Yang Lili said, "Is it serious?"

"It's nothing serious." Lin Pu said, "But you definitely won't be able to finish your homework."

"Then wait for him to come back next time, you can come and see me together." Yang Lili said, "I miss him too."

Lin Pu also missed him very much. He felt a little tasteless chewing the hard rice from the takeaway. He counted the time and thought about it: "When he comes back, you will almost have summer vacation, so I will bring you to Baijin to play."

"Okay, okay, it's settled." Yang Lili said.

Lin Pu hung up the video call, packed up the sumptuous meal on the table and put it in the refrigerator, preparing to bring a meal to the law firm tomorrow.

He returned to the bed, moved the notebook to the bedside to work, and a few messages came out of the phone.

Lin Pu took a few glances at Yu Fei, he didn't bother to read all the news, so he simply called.

"Ah, lawyer Lin." Yu Fei said just as soon as he picked up the phone, "I'm about to be driven crazy by Li Junshen."

"What's wrong?" Lin Pu laughed.

"What else can I do, don't say anything, and wait for the lawyer to come and talk about everything." Yu Fei said, "Anyway, there is no evidence now, and the only thing I can do is Zhou Xiaomei's statement, but she can't say anything clearly. They were released within 24 hours."

"..." Lin Pu sighed.

"However, Zhou Xiaomei and Aunt Zhou have a lot of goods here." Yu Feidao, "They basically explained everything they can explain. The couple is not the same as other devout believers. You say she Believe in religion... She seems to be proficient in this kind of cult stuff and believes deeply, but you said she doesn't seem to believe it, they charge membership fees and defraud sacrifice money, it feels like it's all for money."

"She didn't know when she found Zhou Chu's mother. After knowing Zhou Chu's birthday, she tried every means to torture Zhou Chu in various ways. After all, her parents couldn't take care of her since she was a child, and they helped her. Having said that, the little girl was sexually abused by her uncle in the name of being educated since she was a child, and she has some mental problems since she was in junior high school."

"..." Lin Pu didn't know that there was still such a thing in the middle, and he couldn't react for a while, "She was..."

"Yeah, Aunt Zhou turned a blind eye. After all, the two of them have no children. She looks like a cult on the outside, but she still can't talk at home. There is absolutely no way for her husband to mess with her, you know? This cult still doesn’t allow divorce.” Yu Fei said, “I was really shaking with anger after hearing this, wishing I could have beaten and disabled the two of them, I’ve never seen such a beast.”

"Is it also Aunt Zhou who gave Zhou Chu a sacrificial tribute and asked her to spend Ming coins?" Lin Pu asked.

"Yeah." Yu Fei said, "All recruited."

Lin Pu took a deep breath to calm himself down.

So there are no gods and ghosts, no bliss.

For Zhou Chu, or other people who are still living here, it is a torment like purgatory.From body to spirit, if it doesn't end in some way, it will just continue to struggle.

But how can he calm down, those emotions that have been suppressed in his chest for a long time gushing out, let him press his hands on his chest so that it will not be too uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?" Yu Fei seemed to have noticed his abnormality, and couldn't help asking.

"Hmm..." Lin Pu pushed back his forehead hair, "It's all right."

"Don't worry." Yu Fei said, "We will continue to investigate. All, all the people involved in this matter will be investigated to the end, and no one will slip through the net."

"Hmm..." Lin Pu's voice was a little hoarse, "Please..."

Yu Fei asked some other questions, Lin Pu responded a few times, and the two of them hung up the phone.Lin Pu put the computer on the head of the bed, curled up wrapped in a blanket, and clasped his hands tightly to his chest, trying to draw a little bit of strength from this posture.

His original intention of choosing a career as a lawyer is that he has a good memory, good career prospects and can make money.

Later, when things happened at home, he seemed to finally be able to feel the responsibilities entrusted to this profession, and he really started to "dedicate his life to defending the dignity of the law".

But there is always a sense of powerlessness after being unable to do it and being unable to save it. The older he gets, the more he feels like he is stuck in a quagmire.

What would happen if Shu Meng was here at this moment?

Thinking of this, Lin Pu slowly closed his eyes.
