monologue

On the way back, Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti didn't say much, he was drunk and shouldn't drive, so Wen Ti acted as a driver for him, but the scene he just saw always appeared in front of his eyes, terror and blood were in his mind Normal people were scared out of their wits when they saw that scene. Wen Ti played that scene over and over again in his mind, which made his head swell and his stomach uncomfortable. He was afraid that Chu Xingmu would worry so he didn't tell him, let alone Chu Xingmu was the one who witnessed Wu Chuan being headshot in front of him.

After getting off the expressway, Wen Ti parked the car on the side of the road. Wen Ti opened the door and got out of the car with a handkerchief covering her mouth. Chu Xingmu got out of the car with a water bottle and a tissue.

Chu Xingmu guessed that Wen Ti's body would be unwell, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. He squatted beside Wen Ti and patted his back. When he was almost vomiting, he gave him a drink of water. Fortunately, Chu Xingmu didn't stop Staying with Wen Ti covered in blood, he was afraid that Wen Ti would really vomit for a day.

"Are you feeling better?" Chu Xingmu asked when he was reciting Wen Ti's back.

Wen Ti spat out the sip of water she just drank, forced a smile and said, "I thought I could hold on."

"How can you be strong in this kind of thing?"

Wen Ti saw Chu Xingmu's unmoved look and asked curiously: "Don't you feel anything? He died right in front of you."

Chu Xingmu said: "The police are not perverted, how could they be indifferent? I often receive psychological counseling, and I go to chat with Bupleurum every now and then. I hope you will never touch these things, but today..."

Wen Ti's hands had nowhere to rest, so Chu Xingmu took his hand to comfort him, "Ordinary people were scared out of their wits when they saw that scene, but I don't know whether you are happy or worried when you look like this."

Wen Ti said: "I didn't tell you. When I was a child in a mental hospital, there was a perverted murderer who told me stories. He told me how to kill people. I always had nightmares. I dreamed that he killed people in front of me. Later He was executed, but I still dream of him, of piles of dead bodies, every body, every wrecked body dancing in my dreams, it took me a long time to get it right, I see When Wu Chuan twitched on the ground, he suddenly became very sick and scared."

"I was afraid that I would become the same person as that perverted murderer, but when I saw that death was so easy and so difficult, I suddenly felt relieved. I will not become that person, I will be afraid."

Chu Xingmu put the water at his feet, put one arm around Wen Ti's shoulder and kissed his cheek, and said, "Well, I'm afraid even to pull out a wisdom tooth."

The psychological shadow left by Wen Ti when she was young is far more and deeper than Chu Xingmu knew and thought. He seems to understand why Zhong Minglou left his own grandson alone and went to the mental hospital to correct an abandoned child. little monster.

"But you can't make fun of me because of this." Wen Ti said unhappily.

Chu Xingmu helped him stand up, and said, "Okay, don't laugh at you, do your teeth still hurt?"

"It hurt a lot at first, but it stopped hurting when I was scared by you, but now it's hurting again." Wen Ti's brows immediately frowned.

"This wisdom tooth is quite eye-catching. I'll drive. I'll go home and change my clothes. I'm too tight to wear your shirt."

Chu Xingmu's clothes could not be worn anymore, Wen Ti temporarily went to the Jin'an Ballroom to get his clothes. He stayed in Jin'an for a while before, and he didn't even leave his clothes behind.

"If you rinse your mouth again, the food won't taste good, and you won't be able to eat for a few days after pulling out your teeth. What do you want to eat?"

Wen Ti shook her head, Chu Xingmu made Wen Ti drink another sip of water, Wen Ti thought that seeing that scene he would not have the appetite to eat at all.

Chu Xingmu didn't get into the car immediately, but turned around and went to the car and opened the trunk to get things. Wen Ti wiped his mouth and hands and went to the car to wait for him. Chu Xingmu changed into the cab. Wen Ti saw his hand Holding a bouquet of flowers in his pocket, Chu Xingmu handed the flowers to Wen Ti like offering a treasure.

Wen Ti said: "This flower looks very familiar."

"Yang Xiao's bouquet, I brought it here." Chu Xingmu put the flowers on Wen Ti's lap and started the car.

Wen Ti picked up the flower and asked, "What can you do for me?"

"Do you know that there is a word called happiness on top of happiness?" Chu Xingmu was proud of his wit.

Wen Ti held the flowers and said, "You and Yang Xiao have a very good relationship."

"I smell vinegar." Chu Xingmu sniffed hard and said with emotion, "I haven't smelled it for many years."

Wen Ti snorted lightly: "Narcissism."

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xingmu took Wen Ti to the dental hospital within the scheduled time. The dentist was a middle-aged man in his 40s. When Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti went in, they just caught up with a child next door to do a root canal. During the treatment, the ceiling was about to be cried down by him, and Wen Ti began to back off when she heard that. Anyway, Chu Xingmu already knew that he was afraid of pulling out his teeth, so he didn't need to force himself to smile.

Chu Xingmu supported Wen Ti's shoulders with both hands, looked at the children surrounded by two doctors and said to Wen Ti, "If you are very scared, you can cry as loudly as him, and I promise not to tell others."

Chu Xingmu followed the doctor's instructions and took Wen Ti to take a dental film and gave it to the doctor. He confirmed the operation time with the doctor, and went to the first floor to get the medicine. Wen Ti ran up and down with him the whole time. Only then sat down quietly.

There is an intern female nurse in the department. Wen Ti is very handsome and is especially popular with girls. The little nurse is a little more attentive to him, and even actively chats with Wen Ti to relieve his tension. Wen Ti and the little nurse communicate friendly In Chu Xingmu's eyes, something was wrong. The dentist was wearing a mask like a ruthless killer in some movies, holding a surgical tray and came menacingly. Wen Ti looked at Chu Xingmu with some trepidation, and Chu Xingmu squeezed it His shoulders reassure him.

Wen Ti asked the doctor: "Will my other teeth become loose after wisdom teeth extraction?"

The doctor replied: "Yes, but it does not affect the use."

"Will it affect the bite force of my teeth?"

"No, it's not that serious."

"Will the other teeth still hurt in the future?"

"Yes, let's see what caused it."

Chu Xingmu stood with his hands on his hips and heard the conversation between Ti and the doctor. After laughing enough, he asked the doctor: "Can I watch his operation from the side?"

The doctor glanced at Chu Xingmu with the anesthetic needle, and nodded coldly, Chu Xingmu pulled a low stool over and sat beside Wen Ti and said with a smile: "I had four wisdom teeth pulled out before, and they will go away after a while if it doesn't hurt. gone."

Chu Xingmu had never seen Wen Ti so frightened by himself, and couldn't stop laughing for a while, so he had to turn his face away to prevent Wen Ti from seeing his expression. It seems that children are afraid of dentists in common.

After the anesthesia was administered, the doctor saw that Wen Ti's fists were clenched together, and said coldly and funnyly: "Close your eyes, open your mouth, and relax, I want my wisdom teeth, not yours, why are you so timid at such a young age?" .”

Wen Ti: "..."

This is the first time for Wen Er Shao to be so embarrassing. When he met his friends before, no matter who he met or who was coaxing him, he was treated equally when he went to the dentist. Maybe the wisdom tooth is more important than the patient's reaction in the eyes of the dentist. Chu Chu Xing Mu thought to himself, Wen Ti is very courageous, just because he is afraid of pulling out his teeth, he pulled Wen Ti's clenched hand into a fist, and separated his fingers one by one, and they were still in Wen Ti's palm After scratching, Wen Ti closed her eyes and held Chu Xingmu's hand.

The little nurse couldn't see the movements of the two, but seeing their intimacy, she asked Chu Xingmu from the other side: "Are you two brothers?"

Chu Xingmu said: "I am his parent, he dare not come alone, he must accompany me."

The little nurse laughed, and the doctor gave her a displeased look. The little nurse stopped asking questions, and started to concentrate on helping the doctor. Wen Ti saw the tools in the tray with the numb and bitter anesthetic in her mouth. The idea was that Chu Xingmu lied to him, so he squeezed Chu Xingmu's hand with more force on purpose, and when the operation was over, there were a few red finger prints on Chu Xingmu's hand that were clearly visible.

The process of pulling out wisdom teeth was not as short as Chu Xingmu said, because Wen Ti’s wisdom teeth grew horizontally and had to be operated on and stitched. The 10 minutes that Chu Xingmu said turned into nearly an hour. When the wisdom teeth were thrown into the tray, Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Chu Xingmu stood up and stood half bent in front of Wen Ti, and lightly poked Wen Ti's face with his fingers after pulling out his teeth, "Does it hurt?"

Wen Ti shook his head, Chu Xingmu picked up his suit jacket and helped Wen Ti up and said, "I said it doesn't hurt, but you still don't believe it, aren't you afraid of pain?"

The anesthetic in Wen Ti's mouth hadn't passed yet, and his tongue was still dull. Master Wen would never open his mouth to speak when he was slurring his words. Chu Xingmu nodded his forehead and said, "You can speak like a tongue Eloquence is no better than anesthesia."

Wen Ti: "..."

The doctor's tone was flat but told them comprehensively about the precautions and the time to remove the stitches. Before leaving, the little nurse gave a few more instructions. Chu Xingmu said thank you for Wen Ti and took him out. The little nurse looked at him suddenly. The two holding hands thought about their interaction just now, and realized something belatedly.

After leaving the hospital, Wen Ti typed to Chu Xingmu with her mobile phone, and asked him why he was different from what he said. Chu Xingmu explained that his situation was special. Wen Ti put on her mobile phone and walked forward silently. Xingmu held him back, and mysteriously took out a ball of paper from his pocket, seeing Chu Xingmu doing this, Wen Ti couldn't help but wonder what was in the ball of paper that made him so precious, Chu Xing Mu unfolded the ball of paper in the palm of his hand, two pieces were broken, and the clean but unattractively shaped teeth lay on the paper.

Wen Ti was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what Chu Xingmu was holding. When did he wash his wisdom teeth? Like a pervert."

Chu Xingmu put away the ball of paper as a treasure, put it in his pocket, and said with a smile: "This is the first thing you are afraid of, keep it as a souvenir."

That's the reason, but who has nothing to keep a wisdom tooth as a souvenir?

Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti finally went back to the Municipal Bureau. Xia Ci also left the hotel early because of the sudden incident of Wu Chuan’s death and went to the Third Branch of Yongxing District to help with the investigation. There was something that Chu Xingmu couldn’t figure out. The branch office, logically speaking, he should be in Shanghe District, but he was in Yongxing District in the two attacks. How did Wu Chuan know Chu Xingmu's whereabouts?He went to Yongxing District twice in the past few months, but both times he was targeted by Wu Chuan.

When Chu Xingmu walked into the office, Zhao Chen and the others were chatting with melon seeds. There were a pile of candy wrappers and melon seed skins on the table. Zhao Chen was slowly tasting his wolfberry tea. It was rare for them to have such a leisurely afternoon. Chu Xing Mu usually criticizes them symbolically when he sees them so lazy, but today he didn't say a word. What's even more strange is Wen Ti, who usually greets people when he sees them, but today even Wen Ti didn't speak. , Bai Yao was surprised to see them coming back so early: "Captain, why did you come back so soon? Why didn't Junior Brother Wen say anything?"

Wen Ti looked at Chu Xingmu, and Chu Xingmu said, "He just had his wisdom teeth pulled out, and the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet. I'm afraid his big tongue will make you laugh when he speaks."

Wen Ti glared at Chu Xingmu back, but that glance fell into Chu Xingmu's eyes and turned into a beautiful looking back, which made Captain Chu even want to go to the class.

Qi Shaocheng jumped to the side of the two, glanced left and right, and said, "No, you have never seen such seriousness when you come back together, could it be that you were stimulated by Yang Xiao's marriage, and you also plan to fall in love and get married early? "

"You think we are you?" Chu Xingmu stared at Qi Shaocheng.

Qi Shaocheng scratched his head, "What's the matter?"

Chu Xingmu walked to his desk and began to tidy up his desk, "Wu Chuan is dead."

When everyone heard this, Chu Xingmu said patiently, "You guys still remember Su Zheyu, the case where his girlfriend He Wen was raped by a taxi driver. He Wen reported the case at the Shanghe branch. Yes, there are two police officers who are still accepting bribes, and one of them is Wu Chuan. Some time ago, I went to Yongxing District to find Uncle Yang. I was attacked by Wu Chuan on the way. I didn’t catch him and let him run away. Yongxing District It’s so far away from Changqing District, so I forgot about it and left it alone. Today, I ran into him in the hotel where Yang Xiao’s wedding was held. I chased him to the bottom of an office building, and he was thrown down by the upstairs. The flower pot was smashed to death."

The criminal investigation team of Su Zheyu's case was basically clear from the beginning to the end of the investigation, but the discipline-violating policemen were handled by the Shanghe Branch, and the Municipal Bureau's focus was on the dismemberment case, so they knew He Wen's case in detail but not comprehensively.

Tang Zhe immediately asked worriedly: "Captain Chu, are you okay?"

"I fell and got bounced by some pottery pieces, it hurts." Chu Xingmu glanced at Wen Ti.

It's a pity that Wen Ti couldn't speak yet, otherwise she would have to reason with Chu Xingmu in front of everyone, and she didn't say a single uncomfortable word on the way back.

Lang Lang asked: "What does Wu Chuan want to do by sneaking into the hotel? Uncle Yang was once the political commissar of the city bureau, and the policemen who attended Yang Xiao's wedding banquet must have been mostly policemen. He wouldn't be so stupid as to run into the police and throw himself into the net?"

That's why Chu Xingmu ran into Wu Chuan outside the bathroom. The person he was going to attack was not any policeman at the wedding banquet, nor was it Chu Xingmu, but Wen Ti, who had nothing to do with the case or him.

Chu Xingmu said: "You don't have to worry about this, now go and find out where Wu Chuan is after he was fired, who else is in his family, and who are the people who have a good relationship with him. Wu Chuan's death is too strange. We cannot rest in charge of investigating this case."

Qi Shaocheng asked: "Isn't it an accident? There are not a few people killed by falling objects every year."

Chu Xingmu squinted at Qi Shaocheng, and Qi Shaocheng stood beside him covering his mouth. Chu Xingmu had investigated the case for so many years, and he would not make mistakes in premeditation and accident.

Tang Zhe thought Xia Ci was coming back with them, but he only saw Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti, so he asked, "Where's the deputy team?"

"He went to the three-point bureau, and Bureau Li and Bureau Wu haven't come back yet?"

"Office Wu is back, and Bureau Li hasn't."

Lang Lang also wondered why they didn't come back together. The Public Security Bureau has more than one criminal investigation team. You don't have to stay in the hotel all day for a wedding reception.

Chu Xingmu vaguely sensed that there must be something between him and Yang Weiyuan when he learned that Li Yaomin was going to attend Yang Xiao's wedding. Although he was curious, it was inconvenient to ask more questions. Li Yaomin sat at the same dining table.

Chu Xingmu put the anti-inflammatory medicine on Wen Ti's desk, poured him a glass of water, and took two old-looking blue notebooks from his briefcase, he picked one and put it in Wen Ti's desk. In his hand, he whispered to him: "Look for the case notes about Zhongminglou and Wen Xiangqin's mother."

Wen Ti looked at him hesitantly while holding a notebook, and Chu Xingmu said, "Isn't that why you came to the Public Security Bureau?"

At the beginning, Wen Ti wanted to read the dossier. He and Zhong Changxin made a bet to see who could get the dossier first. On the way, Chu Xingmu exchanged Wen Ti’s treatment records for Zhong Changxin. Wen Ti once thought that Chu Xingmu would be angry if he knew his purpose of entering the Public Security Bureau, but he didn't even have a reaction.

"I also just got these work notes. My wife asked Uncle Yang to give them to me." After explaining, Chu Xingmu returned to his work station, took a file bag from the desk, and went to Wu Huanshan's office.

Wen Ti looked at the notebook in front of her, and suddenly became nervous. If she wanted to understand the case of Zhongminglou, it would be more intuitive to read the file, but Chu Xingmu did not give him the file, but gave him a work note, that is to say, work The content in the notes is more authentic and credible than the dossier.

Seeing that Chu Xingmu was gone, Zhao Chen sneaked up to Wen Ti. Wen Ti picked up a book and covered her notebook, and looked up at Zhao Chen. anyone?"

Wen Ti found a piece of paper and wrote a line: "They are all people Captain Chu knows."
