unrecognizable

"Plastic doctor?"

Zhuang Lijie was puzzled, "This medical exchange meeting will be held in three parts. I remember that the first batch is about HIV treatment drugs, the second batch is about cancer-related topics, and our third batch is about regenerative cells and cloning technology." It shouldn't have anything to do with plastic surgery, why do you ask such a question?"

Qu Yi didn't know where to start. He took a sip of beer and remembered the meeting with that person a few days ago...

……

One day after Wei Shengyao announced his dismissal on the spot, Qu Yi, under the arrangement of Fang Ruoming, met with a doctor Frank who was said to be one of the pioneers of plastic surgery.

The meeting place was at the five-star hotel where Frank was staying. This hotel was built next to the Chinese and foreign hospitals where the international medical exchange meeting was being held. At present, there are many medical researchers of various skin colors and nationalities living in it.

"Oh? You are Key's last collaborator." Doctor Frank's understanding of fashion seems to be in the same style as Wei Shengyao's. He is wearing a high-end custom-made suit, with an exquisite appearance, and his attitude is full of undisguised arrogance and prejudice.

"Hello." Qu Yi said in English.

"Sit down." Frank sat down on the sofa first.

"Dr. Frank may be the last person to see Key's real face. He has confirmed that Weisheng Key's face is his masterpiece. Doctor Frank, this Dr. Qu is the exclusive anesthetist for Key that I mentioned to you. "Fang Ruoming deliberately emphasized the word "exclusive".

Frank leaned on the sofa and squinted at Qu Yi, "I see, that's all."

Qu Yi frowned slightly, feeling a little bad.

Intuition is a mysterious thing, Qu Yi can clearly feel that this Frank doctor does not like him, and such a coincidence, he also harbors hostility towards this plastic surgery expert whom he met for the first time.

Qu Yi glanced at Fang Ruoming who was smiling dryly, and said in English: "To be honest, I still find it hard to believe that the Weisheng key is the famous key. I came to you today to hope that you can give a clearer answer. To prove this conjecture, you said you had plastic surgery for Key, do you have photos of him before and after plastic surgery?"

"If Fang hadn't said that you were the key to finding him, I wouldn't want to talk about him with strangers." Frank glanced at him contemptuously, "Yes, I was the one who changed his appearance, and I was the one who changed his appearance when he was most vulnerable." The only person who reached out to him. I didn't keep any evidence of plastic surgery for him because it would bring him unnecessary trouble. In fact, if I were to testify in court, I would refuse because it would make him again. In trouble. But..." He got up and walked into the bedroom, and when he came back, he held a sketchbook in his hand, "I drew this portrait from my memory, see if it matches the face of that Wei Shengyao Woolen cloth?"

Qu Yi glanced at the sketchbook, and was immediately attracted by the lifelike micro key on the white paper.

Wei Shengyao in the painting is lying on his back on a hospital bed, clutching his chest, staring sharply ahead.The brush strokes are so realistic, as if they were copied face to face. I didn't expect a plastic surgeon to have such superb painting skills. Qu Yi was taken aback, but then doubts arose.

He had never seen Wei Shengyao have such a murderous expression.This is not the usual bad mood, it looks like he is about to kill the person who confronted him.

Frank chuckled and turned back the notebook, "You must understand that he is such a man with thorns all over his body, otherwise he wouldn't make himself look like a stray dog ​​over and over again. I have known him since we were teenagers. , we were studying together in Germany, and I was probably the only nice guy at school who could stand his bad temper."

"...I understand. Did he take the initiative to find you for plastic surgery, or did you find him?"

"He found me, poor man, when he hid like a homeless stray dog ​​on my way home. Oh my God, he had a bad burn on his face and I At first I really didn’t recognize him, but soon I confirmed his identity. Because I am his closest friend, I am so familiar with his voice and movements.”

Frank fell into the memories of the past, he was silent for a while, and seemed to feel the shock and heartache when he suddenly met his friend who had been declared dead.

Qu Yi's face contorted for a moment. The words "intimacy" and "familiarity" that Frank said made him very uncomfortable. He thought of the scarlet human brain tattoo on his smooth chest.

Could it be this person, the man who left bite marks on Key's chest, or Wei Shengyao's chest.

Frank looks to be in his 30s, with good facial features, light brown skin, thick and thick chestnut hair, a short beard on his chin, and two raised beards on his lips. It made him look like a German man, but his relatively thin body made him lack heroism.

Generally speaking, this is a man with an ordinary appearance, and Qu Yi does not think that Wei Shengyao will have any impulse for a man with this appearance - after all, "aesthetics" is his destiny.

"At that time, there was a lot of noise in the country because of the news of his death. Newspapers, magazines and TV broadcasted the short life of the youngest golden scalpel in a loop every day. The public opinion environment that derogated more than praised made him uncomfortable, and he left soon. I thought he would learn to be mature and restrained in a foreign country... but obviously not. Oh, there is often only a thin veil between a genius and a madman, and I think this time I must do my best to help him to the end."

Qu Yi: "You want to help him?" He glanced at Fang Ruoming.

"About this matter..." Fang Ruoming lifted the frame with his knuckles, "I plan to follow the advice, as long as Wei Shengyao leaves this country, I can stop digging into his past and let him go."

"I persuaded him." Frank twirled a tail ring, "Fang is an excellent reporter. I have read his manuscript for publication. It is very provocative, and it is definitely not groundless. If this article is published In a widely read magazine, it would have a lot of impact. Of course, I am a supporter of free speech, but people are always a little bit selfish, and I don’t want my key to be hurt more.”

Fang Ruoming's face turned red, "I just agree to suppress this article. If Key continues to lurk, it will inevitably resurface somewhere. I'm sorry, Doctor Frank, you also admit that Key is too arrogant, he There is no distinction between black and white. As a front-line reporter with a conscience, I can only promise you to wait for him to leave the country before publishing, so that there will be no devastating blow to his personal safety!"

"Dear Fang, thank you very much for your promise to me." Frank spread his hands towards Qu Yi, "Yes, I plan to help him get out of here, before he becomes a street rat criticized by the whole society, he can use the existing It’s easy to clear the customs with his identity. At that time, I will listen to his own opinions, and no matter where he wants to develop, I will make proper arrangements for him.”

Qu Yi didn't answer, just looked at him.

"It's a pity that I was one step late. I originally planned to visit after I finished the work at hand, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly." Frank shrugged with a sad expression, "It's terrible, it seems that this is not a safe enough place. I hope to find him as soon as possible, oh, he is always so stubborn and wants to face everything alone. You will help me, right?"

Qu Yi looked away, "Since the explosion in the hospital, I haven't seen him again. All his contact methods have failed, and even the head nurse who went to work together didn't know where he went. You want to pass me If you contact him, you may be disappointed."

"If he doesn't come to you, you can go to him." Fang Ruoming interrupted, "There are only three of you in the hospital, which shows that he trusts you very much. As long as he feels safe, he will take the initiative to contact you. Now we Just have to be patient."

"But I was fired."

"Maybe I don't want you to be involved in the trouble he caused." Frank's eyes flickered, "I know him, he is such an awkward person. I also came up with the idea of ​​meeting you when I learned that you were fired on the spot. I know that if a person wants to disappear suddenly, he won't care about the contract issues of his subordinates."

"...I don't know, maybe, or maybe it's just that I don't want to see me."

"No, you have to believe in yourself." Frank leaned forward slightly, crossed his long-fingered hands in front of his chin, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't think too much, although I am in Germany with him I lived in a dormitory, but he and I are soul communicators, we have not had physical communication."

What do these words mean? Qu Yi raised his head and saw Frank's falcon-like eyes wandering around his face inquiringly.

This feeling is very bad, Qu Yi lowered his eyes, and his eyes were attracted by Frank's cuff lock, where there was a cuff button inlaid with fiery rubies, which looked extremely eye-catching.

"I have extended my stay in Beicheng. The materials provided by Fang let me know how many terrible things Key has done in these years. You must not understand how many dangerous people and organizations he secretly deals with. He He is always so optimistic and has no bottom line in these matters, he simply does not realize how big a risk this will bring him!"

"What exactly did he do?"

"Shhh..." Frank made a small gesture towards him, "It's all unspeakable contents of the operation, I can only summarize it this way: he has benefited some forces, and must offend others. If these If a person is originally an outlaw, then his actions will make him a target of public criticism... Yes, it is like this now, is he hiding himself, or has he been completely and completely wiped out in a place where no one knows? Know the corner, if we don't confirm it, how will we know?"

Qu Yi's eyes widened, he never thought of such a possibility.But what Frank said is very reasonable. Now everything is in the fog. Weisheng Key has been out of contact for almost a month. Is he really just hiding?Would it have been...

"If you are like me and really care about his safety, you must cooperate with me." Frank narrowed his eyes, "You are a weak little person, you can't do anything. But I am different, I am the one who solves the problem The essential."

"..."

"If he contacts you, or through someone else... you can ask him if he remembers me, Frank Claire Latin. Shh... don't ask about plastic surgery, just ask him if he remembers me , you will believe that I really want to help him."

……

"Qu Yi?"

Qu Yi, immersed in the conversation with Frank, was brought back to reality by Zhuang Lijie's call.

"Ah, what?"

"What's the matter, you asked me about the plastic surgery doctor, and suddenly you were completely empty... I thought you were possessed!" Zhuang Lijie patted his generous back, "Be honest, are you in love again? You can't hide it My piercing eyes, only those who fall in love will show such... such... oh, an indescribably complex and contradictory atmosphere. Could it be a forbidden love this time?"

Qu Yi smiled wryly, it wasn't forbidden love, it was love with broken sleeves...
