monologue

"The ward on the left belongs to Mr. Van Gogh, and the ward on the right belongs to Mr. Beethoven. Maybe these names are a game they played with me. Mental patients always wake up." Wen Ti stood in a room full of glove boxes Said.

Chu Xingmu stood at the door and patted off the dust on his clothes and hands and said, "Beethoven? Ying Naiqing?"

"Well, he was the one with the shortest hospital stay. Didn't Zhong Changxin ask you to borrow his grandfather's file? Not only him, I also have doubts about Zhongminglou's death."

The bed in the ward had been moved long ago, Wen Ti said: "He was still reading "The Nightingale and the Rose" to me at the time, he seemed to have fallen asleep when the book turned to the third page, I wanted to listen to the rest of the content, so I crawled to the bedside to call him, and found that his fingers were already stiff. I called the doctor, and later even the police. It was related to me, and later I gradually learned the identity of Zhongminglou, and I knew why his death attracted so many people."

"I just joined the criminal investigation team at that time. I heard that a patient in Nanjia Mental Hospital died. The cause of death was unknown. Zhou Jinlin asked Xia Ci and I to follow Director Li to investigate some important cases. He had high hopes for the two of us. Later, the case was solved. Yes, after a long time I came to Nanjia to deliver materials for Zhou Jinlin, and then I ran into you."

"You were standing at the door holding Chu Daha, who was covered in blood. There was blood on your clothes, hands, face and shoes. I thought you were torturing a dog, but seeing that you were about to cry, I asked you what happened. What, you are biting my hand anxiously and angrily." Chu Xingmu was a little funny when he remembered that moment, Wen Ti was like a piranha full of fangs biting his flesh, and his hand hurt It's powerful but can't be shaken off, and it's a good thing that Chu Xingmu met him. If it was someone else in the hospital, they probably really thought it was Wen Ti who was abusing the dog.

"Chu Daha almost couldn't be saved. I went to several pet hospitals, and they all said that the dog couldn't be saved. Chu Daha kept going until I found a pet hospital that could perform surgery. The veterinarian held the attitude of giving it a try. I had an operation and sutured the wound, but I didn’t expect it to survive.” Chu Xingmu’s words were still proud, which is why he later asked Chu Daha to be a police dog, he felt that Chu Daha was like an ordinary dog no the same.

"I thought Chu Daha was dead. The first time I saw it in the office that day, it looked familiar. I put a glass of water for him before I touched it. I accidentally touched the wound on its neck and called out. Its name, and found it to be Bluebell."

"Why do you look nothing like when you were a child? Do you have any photos of when you were a child?" Wen Ti's appearance has changed a lot since she was a child. In Wen Xiangqin's words, she doesn't look like a boy with long hair.

"I only took a photo with Mr. Zhong once, and he said he would send it to his wife."

Chu Xingmu thought that if Zhong Changxin wanted to borrow the second half of the dossier, he would ask him to exchange the photos.

"Did you give the dossier to Zhong Changxin?"

"I gave some of it, and I have to exchange the rest for something useful."

After getting along with Chu Xingmu for a long time, Wen Ti realized that he was not as boring as he thought, nor was he only thinking about work, he was as smart as a businessman, and even thieves would not dare to move when they saw him. , Wen Ti was walking around in the room, Chu Xingmu didn’t know what he was looking for, after a while Wen Ti directed Chu Xingmu to remove the box in the corner, Captain Chu worked hard in front of the happy coolie, Wen Ti Standing aside and watching like a boss, Chu Xingmu stacked the wooden boxes in the other corner of the room, Wen Ti squatted down and pressed his fingers on the wall.

"This is something I drew on the wall before, before I couldn't read, and it hasn't fallen off after so long." Wen Ti introduced his previous humble works to Chu Xingmu.

Chu Xingmu said a few words of praise, and squatted next to Wen Ti by the wall. Wen Ti was looking at other places. Chu Xingmu followed the trace of the pattern on the wall and touched it. The wall was originally painted with wall paint. Yes, the paint on the walls is starting to peel off over time.

Wen Ti saw Chu Xingmu looking at those symbols so seriously, and asked, "What did you find on the wall?"

Chu Xingmu withdrew his hand, the paint began to peel off where he touched the texture, but the wall paint around the texture was still intact, Chu Xingmu's nails were too short, he suddenly remembered the nails that Wen Ti put in his pocket, Using special tools in a special period, Chu Xingmu took out his nails and began to scrape the wall paint along the texture. Wen Ti watched Chu Xingmu scrape the wall paint quietly and nervously. After about 5 minutes, Chu Xingmu stopped. Hand, he took the paper towel that Wen Ti gave him and wiped it on the place where the wall paint was scratched a few times, and a few deep and shallow words floated on the wall, "wood, wish, ear."

Chu Xingmu turned his head and asked, "You wrote this?"

"I only drew pictures on the wall, but never wrote."

"You can only see it when the wall paint peels off. It's quite technical." Although Chu Xingmu felt strange, this place has been around for more than ten years, so it shouldn't be an important thing.

Wen Ti also said: "After I was discharged from the hospital, there should be people who lived here. It's not surprising."

Chu Xingmu stood up and asked, "Did you find what you were looking for?"

Wen Ti said: "I probably can't find it, but it's good to come back and have a look."

He explained it like this, but Wen Ti would not come to this kind of place without any problems, otherwise, when Chu Xingmu met him for the first time in Nanjia, he should have put three bunches of flowers here instead of running to the small garden. .

"It's time for us to go back." Chu Xingmu moved the wooden box back to the original place, and the place that was scratched by him and briefly illuminated by the light was blocked by the wooden box again.

Chu Xingmu took the clothes off Wen Ti and stood far away from him to shake off the dust. Wen Ti held a handkerchief and said, "There is no mirror or water here. I don't want to go out with a dirty face."

"Actually, it's just a little bit, just wipe it off with your hands." Chu Xingmu tapped Wen Ti's face again with his dirty fingers, Wen Ti frowned, Captain Chu quickly wiped his face with a handkerchief, And it's a joy to talk nonsense with your eyes open.

At the same time, another place is not as relaxed as Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti.

The Institute of Criminal Psychology of Changqing University, the place where Wen Xiangqin often comes these days, Qin Feifei refilled a cup of tea for Wen Xiangqin, and then sat back at her desk in every possible way. Qin Feifei couldn't help much, and even the usual documents to be processed were reduced by half. Qin Feifei suddenly became free during this period, so she had time to read what happened to Zhong Changxin and Wen Xiangqin recently.

Hearing that the doctor was bitten by a dog, the chairman of Wen's Group sent him to the hospital for an injection. In the past two days, she often saw Wen Xiangqin in the research institute. It's very heavy, why is it that Wen Xiangqin still has time to sit here, so is it possible that he has to accompany Zhong Changxin to get an injection?

Zhong Changxin and a few people came out of the meeting room, and the others went down through another exit. Zhong Changxin walked up to Wen Xiangqin with a thick folder. Qin Feifei propped her head with great interest. Flipping through the book, I pricked up my ears to listen to Zhong Changxin and Wen Xiangqin talking. The development of these two people was too strange.

Wen Xiangqin folded his arms and leaned against the back of the sofa with his eyes closed. He heard footsteps around him and opened his eyes. Zhong Changxin put the folder upside down on the table with one hand and said, "Chairman Wen is really punctual."

"I've been waiting for an hour." Wen Xiangqin originally wanted to add that a businessman's time is precious, but after thinking about it, it was useless to tell Zhong Changxin, "You were the one who was bitten by the dog, why do you always have to accompany me?" Did you go to the hospital for an injection?"

Zhong Changxin frowned: "If it's too troublesome, you can go back now."

Wen Xiangqin almost blurted out two words, "Fart."

He waited here for an hour just waiting for Zhong Changxin to finish his meeting so that he could go to the hospital with him.

"Yang Weiyuan's daughter is getting married, are you going?" Zhong Changxin asked.

"Both he and Zhou Jinlin remember me, and since we know about it, we must go."

"Mrs. Zhou will go, as well as people from the Municipal Bureau and other branch bureaus." Zhong Changxin added, "Wen Ti and Captain Chu will definitely go, but it always feels strange for you to go to the wedding."

"What's weird?"

"What capacity are you going with? Although Yang Weiyuan retired from the Municipal Bureau, he was not influenced by Zhou Jinlin. He applied to go to Yongxing District by himself."

"It's just a wedding. No matter who and how many guests are there, what does it matter to me?"

Zhong Changxin laughed and said, "Director Li, Director Wu, and Professor Mu Fang are all going, and you don't understand?"

"I heard that Yang Weiyuan has been looking for witnesses in the case related to Zhou Jinlin for several years, but there is no result, because the relationship between Director Li and Yang Weiyuan is not good in this case. Since Director Li is going to attend the wedding now, it is time for him to express his opinion. Now, reconcile with Yang Weiyuan, because Zhao Hailu's case will be retried."

"Kidnapped Chu Xingmu and Qin Wan, and killed Xu Chi, the deputy captain of the anti-narcotics team. On the same day, Zhou Jinlin was killed. The most important murderer and victim in the two cases died. In the end, only Zhao Hailu was tried. He said Zhou Jinlin ordered him to kidnap Captain Chu."

Even if Zhong Changxin has been dealing with the police, this kind of confidential case is not so easy to come into contact with, otherwise Chu Xingmu and Xia Ci would not let him go to Zhou Jinlin's cemetery.

"When I just returned to China, Xu Chi's sister, Xu Mei, came to see me. She was the defense lawyer for Qin Wan and Chu Xingmu, but at that time Chu Xingmu did not appear in court due to physical reasons, so there were only two people in court. You have to read the file to find out."

Wen Xiangqin thought about it for a while, before reuniting with Chu Xingmu, Wen Xiangqin never thought that he would deal with the police one day, when Chu Xingmu and Xia Ci repeatedly mentioned Zhou Jinlin in front of him, he felt that something was wrong .

The fire at the Yihe Building five years ago did cost Wen's Group a lot. Wen Xiangqin knew about the kidnapping case, but he never knew that Chu Xingmu was among the kidnapped people. Both Xia Ci and Chu Xingmu He didn't mention this matter to him. If the three of them are still good brothers who are heart-to-heart as before, why didn't they mention a word about their experiences in the past ten years?Why did Chu Xingmu have to let him get to know Zhou Jinlin?

After Zhong Changxin woke up Wen Xiangqin, he went to put things away. Wen Xiangqin made a temporary decision and asked Zhong Changxin, "Do you have time tonight?"

"I didn't originally. If Chairman Wen has something important to do, I can spare a night to accompany you." Zhong Changxin said.

"It doesn't take one night, I still have a meeting, and I will pick you up at seven o'clock in the evening."

"See you tonight."

It was a very common sentence, but Qin Feifei saw it because the two of them suddenly got close recently. Just after hearing the conversation between the two, Qin Feifei rested her chin and thought about their relationship. Changxin's assistant for two years, I have never seen anyone who Zhong Changxin took the initiative to associate with. Zhong Changxin is the pride of heaven, the youngest double-degree Ph. He helps, and he keeps a distance from everyone, so Qin Feifei finds it strange that he and Wen Xiangqin are in such close contact now.

"What are you looking at?" Zhong Changxin put the folder into the glass cabinet, and turned around to find Qin Feifei staring at the office door in a daze.

Qin Feifei said, "Doctor, why didn't you reject Mr. Wen?"

"Our laboratory has been short of money recently." Zhong Changxin said seriously.

Qin Feifei: "..."

Did Zhong Changxin make a deal with Wen Xiangqin for the funds of the research laboratory?

Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti have not been to Wen Ti's house for so long. On the way back, Wen Ti said that he wanted to go home to get something. Chu Xingmu sent Wen Ti back home according to the address Wen Ti gave.

Seeing the location and area of ​​Wen Ti's house, Captain Chu wondered if it was so easy for a businessman to buy a villa. Chu Xingmu also saw Wen Ti's 911 in the private underground garage. Wen Ti is now working in the police force and driving That car was too ostentatious, not only Chu Xingmu hadn't seen it for a long time, Wen Ti hadn't driven that car for a long time either.

On the way the two walked up from the underground garage, Chu Xingmu made no secret of his admiration for Wen Ti's 911, even though he had been hit by it once before, Wen Ti said: "Let's make an appointment to go to Yingang, although I His driving skills are not as good as professional racing drivers, but it is more than enough to take Captain Chu to the racing track."

"What strange hobbies do you have?" Chu Xingmu couldn't help but said, Wen Ti looked quiet and gentle on the surface, but she didn't expect to be so rebellious in her heart.

"You have been driving a car for two years, have you participated in any races?"

"In the rally held by Yingang Club, the Qingshi division is lucky to be the first." Wen Ti said modestly.

"Yingang is an international racing circuit. It is a fluke for you to be the champion." Although Chu Xingmu does not pay attention to racing competitions, how could he not know that Yingang is such a famous racing track, and he won the championship on the special track of the international racing circuit? He said it was a fluke after winning the championship. No wonder he got motion sickness in Wen Ti's car. Chu Xingmu finally found the reason. It wasn't that his driving skills were too bad, but that Wen Ti drove too crazily and too freely.

"How old were you when you won the championship?"

"17 years old, in the rebellious period of youth."

Chu Xingmu felt that if Wen Xiangqin had been monitoring Wen Ti for these reasons, he could stop fighting with Wen Xiangqin.

"I live in Wen's house most of the time, and I only come back here once in a while." Wen Ti took fingerprints and opened the door and said.

"Such a good house can't be wasted." Chu Xingmu joked.

Wen Ti closed the door and said, "If you don't mind, we can move here so that I can fulfill my wish to take care of my boss."

"How can you only think about beautiful things when you are young?" Chu Xingmu walked into the living room and sat down casually. The decoration was more luxurious than his house, the area was larger than his house, the style was colder, and everything was perfect without smoke.

Wen Ti went to the bedroom and stayed there for 10 minutes. When she came out, she carried an old piano case. Chu Xingmu was not surprised to see the piano case. He knew that Wen Ti could play the violin and piano at that concert, but he didn’t listen to it. Guo Wenti played it.

Wen Ti put the piano case on the table, and then opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows. He put his hands in a circle and put them on his eyes to look out. It was already evening, and the sunset outside the window competed with the afterglow of the setting sun. On the house, they rushed into the house, Chu Xingmu sat sideways on the sofa and looked at Wen Tixin's long back. For a moment, he felt that if there was no glass, Wen Ti would jump off. When this idea came up Startled Chu Xingmu, he hurriedly sat up straight and stared at Wen Ti intently, recalling what Xia Ci told him.

"What are you doing so close to the window?"

"The closer you are, the wider your vision."

Wen Ti turned her back to him and said, "The only good thing here is that you can see the sunset."

For the first time, he was not facing this lonely dusk alone.

Wen Ti walked to the center of the living room, completely unaware of what worried Chu Xingmu had just now, he took the old violin case over, and said while taking the violin: "This is what Mr. Ying gave me before he was discharged from the hospital, it is his favorite violin, but he never played it once while in hospital."

Wen Ti picked up the bow and smeared the bow with the rosin placed in the corner of the violin case. Chu Xingmu helped him take out the violin and put it aside, then closed the violin case and stood it under his feet.

"He gave you such an important thing, which means he values ​​you very much." Chu Xingmu said, no wonder the piano case looks so old.

Wen Ti smiled and said, "Then I will try to play the song "Bell" with this violin that I have practiced for nine years."

Wen Ti took the violin and walked to the window. Chu Xingmu dressed up as a qualified audience. Looking at Wen Ti, he had never heard Wen Ti's solo performance, and the joint piano performance with Li Xiaowen was just a whim.

"It's my first time playing the violin in front of others, so I'm a little nervous." Wen Ti put the bow on the strings and looked at Chu Xingmu and said.

Chu Xingmu raised his eyebrows and asked him: "In your eyes, am I someone else?"

"Okay, okay, don't focus on the key points, I'm going to start." Wen Ti's eyes were lowered, Chu Xingmu looked at him smiling so happily, it was quite dazzling, and it swayed into his heart up.

The author says:

I wrote 50 yuan, looked back and found that the protagonist’s solo plot was less than two-fifths (not related to the case), ah, I’m a waste brother, it’s been a long time since the last bull cart, I’m going to start my story again My younger brother behaved, and why did I update so little after wearing it for a long time? It’s not that I suppressed it, but because I was too busy with work and didn’t make excuses. There are always many things that can bother people three times, such as moving and working. If it is possible I also don't want to sit drowsy on the subway and bus every day, it's too difficult for me to not be my younger brother.
