monologue

Wen Ti, who had been away from the criminal investigation team for a few months, was once again entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Chu Xingmu, and the two who were going home went to the hospital in a blink of an eye.

Sun Xiaoqi is different from Meng Yue. Although Wen Ti can easily get along with children, but this time he has to face a 13-year-old girl who already has thoughts and perceptions, and can distinguish between good and evil, good guys and villains. She was also the survivor who had the most direct contact with the killer.

No matter how old the victim is, the damage they suffer is irreversible. The difference is only whether the damage has a profound impact on the victim's later life or is more intuitive and directly closes the victim's heart.

Wen Ti thinks that Sun Xiaoqi belongs to the latter. She may have seen the appearance of the murderer, heard his voice, or heard the sound of the murderer sharpening the blade before she completely lost consciousness. This kind of fear of escaping from the butcher knife is greater than She has the instinct to seek help from the outside world, so Sun Xiaoqi's current state is still "injured". Even though she is accompanied by her parents and has the attention and protection of the police, she no longer trusts anyone.

When I went to see Sun Xiaoqi this time, Wen Ti didn't bring her a bouquet of flowers like she did when she went to see Meng Yue.

In the open-air parking space of the hospital, before getting off the car, Wen Ti looked at his watch frequently. Chu Xingmu walked a few steps and found that Wen Ti hadn't followed, so he went back and asked him: "I read it several times along the way. Go fix it tomorrow."

Wen Ti grabbed Chu Xingmu's wrist and looked at it, then asked, "Did you not wear a watch today?"

Chu Xingmu took out his watch from his trouser pocket, Wen Ti immediately took off the Patek Philippe on his wrist and exchanged it with Chu Xingmu, "Lend me to use it."

"It's mysterious, I'll give it to you if you like it." Chu Xingmu took Wen Ti's watch and tested it on his wrist. He had never worn such an expensive watch in his 30 years of life, but he tested it a few times. Put the watch in the coat pocket.

Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu walked to the inpatient department, and he asked by the way: "Has Sun Xiaoqi seen a psychiatrist these days?"

"The hospital arranged for a psychiatrist to go there, but she didn't talk to anyone at all."

Wen Ti looked at Chu Xingmu and said: "I can't guarantee that I can get any clues from her. From what you said, Sun Xiaoqi's post-traumatic stress reaction is very strong. It should be better if Dr. Lin is here."

Chu Xingmu asked: "The doctor Lin who treated you before?"

"Well, at this time, the gender advantage can be reflected. Dr. Lin may be more suitable to communicate with Sun Xiaoqi than me."

Lin Manshu was also responsible for the psychological counseling of the six children who were rescued from Cheng Hai last year, but Chu Xingmu hadn't had much contact with Lin Manshu, and Wen Ti had to ask her to come over. Chu Xingmu still felt that it would be better to have more things One less thing.

Walking to the door of Sun Xiaoqi's ward, Chu Xingmu patted Wen Ti on the shoulder and said, "The organization trusts you."

Wen Ti sighed obviously, Chu Xingmu couldn't help but said, "Why don't you forget it?"

Wen Ti loosened her hair and knocked on the door of the ward, "It's rare for Captain Chu to ask me for help so sincerely, I will try not to let you down."

Sun Xiaoqi's father rushed to open the door, and Chu Xingmu asked, "How is the child?"

Grandfather subconsciously looked at Sun Xiaoqi on the hospital bed, and said wearily: "She woke up when there was a slight noise, and she was awakened by a nightmare within 5 minutes of falling asleep. Captain Chu, when will the murderer be caught? I was frightened, and when I was accompanying the nurse in the ward last night, I dreamed that someone rushed into the ward with a knife and wanted to kill my daughter. She was very lively, cheerful, and enthusiastic, but it was my daughter."

The last one who had white hair for his daughter was Guan Zhen, and this time it was his grandfather. Chu Xingmu took Wen Ti and said to his grandfather, "We will definitely catch the murderer, but Sun Xiaoqi is the only known survivor so far. We need her confession and clues, this is the best psychiatrist in our bureau, can you let him talk to Sun Xiaoqi?"

A flash of shock flashed through Wen Ti's eyes, and then she returned to normal, smiling and nodding to her grandfather. Chu Xingmu's nonsense came right out of her mouth, and Wen Ti suddenly became a psychiatrist and the top of the city bureau. Psychiatrist, for some reason, Wen Ti is not only a little guilty, but also flattered.

The grandfather hesitated for a while, and agreed to Chu Xingmu's proposal. He really felt sorry for his daughter, but Sun Xiaoqi's silence was useless. If she could provide some clues, the police might be able to catch the murderer earlier.

Wen Ti approached Chu Xingmu and asked him: "Is it too exaggerated?"

Chu Xingmu looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it, you can talk to her whatever you want, as long as she is willing to talk, her parents can breathe a sigh of relief."

Wen Ti shifted her eyes from Chu Xingmu's face to Sun Xiaoqi's body, then he walked to the empty hospital bed next to Sun Xiaoqi, and sat down there. There was a distance between him and Sun Xiaoqi because he was afraid that Sun Xiaoqi would be stimulated by strangers.

Sun Xiaoqi noticed that there were strangers in the ward, even though these two strangers would not do anything to hurt her, Sun Xiaoqi was still very vigilant in her heart, Wen Ti didn't say a word, and followed Sun Xiaoqi's gaze to look at the bottle Wen Ti looked down at her watch from time to time, and followed Sun Xiaoqi to observe everything around her.

Grandfather saw that Wen Ti was sitting there without saying a word, and he was a little anxious, but Chu Xingmu was very calm. He walked up and said a few words to grandfather, and the two of them left the ward temporarily. Waiting at the door.

Chu Xingmu could only see Wen Ti's back through the glass, but there was still no voice inside. Wen Ti frequently lowered his head to check the time. About 10 minutes later, Chu Xingmu and his grandfather suddenly heard a voice coming from the ward.

In the silent confrontation between Wen Ti and Sun Xiaoqi, it was Sun Xiaoqi who spoke first. She hesitated and asked Wen Ti cautiously: "Who are you? Where is my father?"

Wen Ti smiled and said, "Friends of the police."

The two said a word each, and the ward fell into silence again. After waiting for a long time, Sun Xiaoqi asked again: "Are you a bad person?"

Wen Ti replied: "I'm not a bad person, but I'm sick."

Chu Xingmu's heart tightened outside the door, and he hurriedly put his ears on the door. Wen Ti looked down at his wrist, and Sun Xiaoqi asked him, "What are you looking at?"

Wen Ti raised her head and said with a smile: "I saw the faces of many pianists on the dial, and they danced on the dial, discussing how much I can talk to you."

Sun Xiaoqi didn't believe what Wen Ti said, and thought that Wen Ti was lying to her. She was no longer a child, and she would not believe those lies, so she turned her head and stopped looking at Wen Ti.

Grandfather was a little anxious, and wanted to push the door to go in, but Chu Xingmu hurriedly stopped him and asked him to wait.

They heard Wen Ti say: "If you are sick, you need to see a doctor, but do you know what disease you have?"

Sun Xiaoqi gave a soft "hmm", maybe because she remembered what happened that night, fear appeared on Sun Xiaoqi's face, Wen Ti said: "Then do you remember what the doctor who saw you looked like?"

Sun Xiaoqi looked at Wen Ti curiously, "He wears a mask every time, only his eyes can be seen."

"Can you remember his eyes?"

Sun Xiaoqi nodded, and Wen Ti went on to say, "Are the eyes of a doctor like those of a villain?"

Sun Xiaoqi shook her head: "No, I can see him smiling."

Wen Ti raised her wrist and pointed to the dial for Sun Xiaoqi, and said, "They are now discussing why I can go home. What time do you think is safe to go home at night?"

Sun Xiaoqi frowned and said, "Before dark."

"There will be no bad guys before dark?" Wen Ti lowered her head and smiled, "Bad guys are everywhere, not only after dark, but night is the cheapest disguise, and they sometimes use the crowd as a cover , pretending to be nonchalant and following others, can you feel that someone is following you?"

Sun Xiaoqi couldn't understand Wen Ti's words for a while, but she understood Wen Ti's last sentence, "It seems."

"The policeman who came with me, he followed me."

"Is he a bad guy?"

"He thought I was a bad guy, and he followed me wherever I went, like a tail that couldn't be shaken off."

Chu Xingmu: "..."

Sun Xiaoqi said: "I used to feel this way too, but when I turned around, there was no one there."

"How long has this feeling been?"

"Since the day I started school, sometimes it hasn't."

Chu Xingmu and his grandpa outside the door calculated the date. Qingshi started school in mid-January, and now it is April. Sun Xiaoqi has been followed for more than two months.

Chu Xingmu asked Grandfather: "Did Sun Xiaoqi tell you about her being followed?"

Grandpa thought about it carefully, "I remember one time she went to a classmate's house to do homework, and it was already dark when she returned home. She said she always felt that something was following her, so she came back singing songs all the way. Children are like this, and she and I Mom didn't pay much attention."

Wen Ti touched the dial and said, "They are discussing the most annoying thing. I hate others touching my hair. Do you have the most annoying thing?"

Sun Xiaoqi became more and more curious about Wen Ti's watch. Although she knew that Wen Ti might be lying to her, she replied, "I hate the sound of sharpening knives and am very scared."

"Where did you hear that knife sharpening?"

Sun Xiaoqi shook her head and didn't want to say more: "Can I see the pianist on the dial?"

Wen Ti stood up, walked to Sun Xiaoqi, bent down and said, "We have different illnesses, you may not see it."

Sun Xiaoqi looked at Wen Ti's watch curiously, and the staggered hands slowly turned on the dial. Wen Ti said, "They are playing the piano."

Sun Xiaoqi looked up at Wen Ti, she only heard the sound of the second hand moving, then she seemed to think of something, and slowly moved to the other side of the hospital bed, Wen Ti asked: "Can you remember my eyes?"

Sun Xiaoqi glanced at him vigilantly, nodded, Wen Ti sat back in her original position, and asked her, "Then can you remember the last pair of eyes you saw before the accident?"

"A fat uncle with only one eye." Sun Xiaoqi clutched the quilt tightly, "Holding a big box with many empty glass bottles in it."

"He asked you to help him guide the way?"

Sun Xiaoqi nodded, and Wen Ti asked, "Do you still remember where he is going?"

"He said he was delivering milk on Xiaochong Road and was going to the Changting bus station. An old man passed by and took him there. The old man asked me to go home early."

"The last people you saw were the fat uncle and the old man?"

"Ah."

Wen Ti remembered that Sun Xiaoqi originally wanted to live at her aunt's house, but she said she would go home shortly after dark, but her parents didn't tell her to go back, so Wen Ti asked, "Don't you like living at your aunt's house?"

Sun Xiaoqi said: "I had an argument with my cousin. He peeked at me changing clothes. My aunt said he didn't mean it."

"How old is your cousin?"

"One year older than me."

Chu Xingmu and Sun Xiaoqi's father heard clearly outside the door. Chu Xingmu heard his grandfather scold "little beast", and then opened the door and went in.

Wen Ti stood up and walked to Chu Xingmu. It turned out that this was the reason why Sun Xiaoqi left her aunt's house that night.

Grandfather walked up to Sun Xiaoqi and continued to ask about what happened at her aunt's house that night. Wen Ti said to Chu Xingmu, "Sun Xiaoqi was followed at least twice that day."

Chu Xingmu patted Wen Ti on the back, and when Sun Xiaoqi's father calmed down a little, Chu Xingmu told him a few words and left with Wen Ti.

When walking towards the parking space, Wen Ti found that Chu Xingmu was always following him, remembering that he told Sun Xiaoqi that Chu Xingmu was like a tail that could not be shaken off, and seeing Chu Xingmu laughing behind him, Wen Ti He spit out two words in a neutral manner: "Childish."
