am i dead

Ji Yao copied him out of the coffee shop, and walked to Tao He's car consciously,

"Give me the key."

Tao He was in handcuffs, digging for a long time,

"I can't take it out, it's in my trouser pocket."

There were not many people coming and going around, but there were not many, a few people passed by, and they were noisy at first, but when they saw the situation, they were all silent, and passed by the two of them sideways.

Tao He felt that the handcuffs on his hands were a bit conspicuous.

"...Ji Yao, why don't you untie it for me first..."

Ji Yao ignored him, opened the door and got into the car, "Come in."

With a cheeky face, Tao He got into the co-pilot under the guidance of others.

"Ji Yao...untie it for me, everyone thinks I've committed a crime."

Ji Yao started the car and threw the handcuff key to him, "I really should lock you up for a while."

Tao He caught the key with both hands, and took a lot of effort to open it for himself. Remembering what happened just now, he raised his eyes to look at Ji Yao, "How did you come here?"

Ji Yao drove his car towards the dormitory, "When I called you, I was across the street."

Tao He was silent for a moment, and finally there was a smile on his face, "Ah... what happened..."

Then he hurriedly said, "Because it's very troublesome to explain this to you, so when you called me, I thought I'd finish my work here and see you..."

Ji Yao turned a corner, "Why are you filming this?"

"You can see it..." Tao He put away the handcuffs, "Didn't I mention to you a long time ago that my family is watching me? My grandfather hired a private detective to watch me, that is, You just saw that chubby guy, and then I conspired with him to fool the old man, this is not a fake over there, and you ran into it..."

After Tao He explained for a long time, he suddenly realized, "Ji Yao, you hit me just now, you were not jealous..."

Ji Yao frowned slightly, "Nothing."

Tao He inexplicably thought of something else, and felt a little hot in his heart,

"I'll just look for you, not anyone else."

"Stop doing this." Ji Yao's eyebrows stretched, but his face was still cold, "Does it still hurt?"

"It hurts," Tao He looked at him, "come here and kiss me, and I won't hurt anymore."

Ji Yao made him feel sick, "Go away."

But remembering that I wanted to treat him well, I took a breath,

"Go back and talk about it!"

Tao He rolled his eyes, "Where are you going?"

"My dormitory," Ji Yao just finished speaking when his cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was actually Xiao You's call.

"Ji Yao, go back to work, Team Wang is here, there is a new development in the case."

Ji Yao responded, then hung up the phone and turned around.

The car had already entered the community, and Tao He saw the dormitory building getting farther and farther away, "Ji Yao, home is in front, where are you going?"

Ji Yao's voice was indifferent, "There is something wrong with the unit."

Tao He was a little annoyed, "What's the matter? Do you have to work overtime?"

"There is a case." Ji Yao inadvertently caught a glimpse of him dejected, and added, "It's a rape-homicide case."

Tao He didn't think much, "Rape and murder?"

"That's not true. It's a problem with what I just described. It's just an ordinary murder case. The suspect is a girl. Because she was raped by the victim before, she couldn't pass the psychological test, which led to the murder of revenge."

Ji Yao drove the car to the gate of the police station, "Although the victim is a habitual offender in that respect, he is very young, only 19 years old, and his parents are dead, so he is also a poor person."

Tao He said lightly, "Poor? Why do I think this scum deserves to die?"

Ji Yao parked the car at the door of his unit, "To the onlookers, this is just a story. In this story, the weak will be sympathized with, and this girl seems to be even weaker now, even if she commits a murder. This kind of thing can also be forgiven in the heart, but the victim does not deserve to die."

"Then this woman deserves to be unlucky..."

Ji Yao turned off the fire, "She could have solved it through legal means, of course she has to have enough evidence."

Then he opened the door and got out of the car, "Why are you so excited?"

Tao He followed behind, "I'm not excited."

Then he added, "I just thought, if I were that woman, I guess..."

Ji Yao suddenly laughed out loud, "Get lost, don't make such a metaphor, it's too weird."

Tao He smiled and looked at him for a while, "Oh, good."

Ji Yao suppressed the smile on his face, stopped at the door,

"Just here."

Tao He watched him walk into the unit, "Are you going back that night?"

Ji Yao didn't turn his head back, "I don't know, let's talk about it."

After Ji Yao left, Tao He sat in the car for a while, thinking about his own affairs.

The result is that the more you think about it, the more angry you become.

If you do it all over again, you probably won't be much smarter than you are now.

People are like this, there is always a bottom line, once defeated, there is no IQ to speak of.

Tao He thought about calling Director Hu, if Ji Yao could be cured, he probably didn't hate him that much.

The phone was answered quickly, and the voice over there was very polite.

"President Tao...why did you call me back..."

Tao He thought for a while, "Well... I have a friend... who has a memory disorder... Let me find out for him, whether this situation... can be cured..."

"Why is this question again? Is it the same person who asked Ji Yao?"

Tao He suddenly remembered, "...Oh, it's a person."

The voice on the other end of the phone was unhurried,

"I think this condition is incredible... I have never encountered this kind of situation before, and it is not within my ability. I can switch to the Department of Neurology to try it out... Simple memory damage, such as through drugs, or To provide precise information on age-related changes...”

Tao He listened to him for a while, said some polite words, hung up the phone, and walked towards the outskirts of the city.

The wound healed very well, and the stitches were removed after more than a week. There were no surgical complications. Except for a little anorexia in the first two days, everything else was quite normal.

The frequency of doctors and nurses coming over became less and less. Tao He would come here twice a day, and later it was reduced to one time.

After he was fully recovered, Duan Xiuping moved from upstairs to downstairs, and was chained to the bathroom on the first floor.

Because Tao He didn't have time to take care of him, and he didn't want to hire someone to clean it, so basically he used to eat and go to the bathroom in it.

Tao He once thought that he would commit suicide, but every time he came to see this man, there was no other change except that the toilet in the bathroom was wiped shiny with toilet paper.

The mirror on the washbasin was clean and dust-free. Duan Xiuping would often lie on it and take pictures to see if he could still grow a beard.

This person seldom spoke, except that after he proposed to Tao He to get some disinfectant and was rejected, he kept silent like a dumb all day long.

Tao He only delivered him meals once a day, mainly lean meat porridge. When he was eating, Tao He would smoke and watch him, and when he finished eating, he would leave with the lunch box he had eaten.

Today is no different than ever.

As usual, Tao He threw the food bag containing the fast food box in front of him, then sat on the single sofa in the living room, habitually smoking a cigarette.

The ashtray was full of ash, mixed with cigarette butts, and even overflowing.

Duan Xiuping sat on the closed toilet lid, took out the sealed plastic bowl, but didn't open it, repeating in his mind the order number and text on it.

He didn't memorize it, and it was useless to memorize it, he just, it was so boring.

A little text can make him excited.

There was a slight sound of lighters not far away.

Pieces of neon lights outside were covered in half the sky like blood.

Tao He and others were bored, and casually looked at this person.

His hair hadn't been cut for half a month, and it was already a little long. When he lowered his head, his bangs covered his eyes, revealing his sharp chin. At first glance, he looked a bit like Ji Yao.

Tao He thought that Ji Yao looked the same in this room back then.

I didn't feel anything at first, but now that I think about it, it feels like a knife is twisting in my heart.

While drinking porridge, Duan Xiuping looked at Tao He, and occasionally the two looked at each other, and they both hurriedly turned away in disgust.

Tao He put out the cigarette butt, "Hurry up and eat."

Duan Xiuping didn't have any appetite at all, so he put it down directly.

Tao He picked up the plastic bag on the ground, and habitually checked the chain that tied him. This chain basically prevented this person from leaving the bathroom, but Tao He still planned to lock the door.

Before the door closed, Duan Xiuping unexpectedly opened his mouth.

"Does Ji Yao know?"

Tao He's hand stopped, and his eyes fell on the top of Duan Xiuping's head.

He found that his hair was very clean, presumably it had been washed with clean water.

"know."

When he said this, Tao He carefully observed his reaction, "He didn't care, are you comfortable?"

Duan Xiuping stayed for a while, then said slowly,

"I won't believe what you said. I shouldn't have asked you just now."

Tao He snorted softly, "Believe it or not."

Duan Xiuping's lips were bloodless, and his hands were shaking a little. Seeing what he was carrying, he said casually, "The porridge you brought is as disgusting as you are."

Tao He lowered his eyes to look at him, curled the corners of his mouth, and suddenly smiled happily,

"You shouldn't be so repulsive, it's all about yourself..."

"..."

"Actually, it's true. It's really disgusting. I feel very disgusting when I watch you eat it."

"..."

"I put it in a meat grinder and ground it into minced meat, and frozen it. I also specifically told the chef to put in less each time, but it must be put in."

"..."

"I will put it in the future, as long as it is something you eat."

Duan Xiuping got up slightly.

He stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but couldn't.

"I won't let you die happily."

"..."

"You can also go on a hunger strike or commit suicide. It's up to you. If you die, I'll chop you up and feed them to the dogs. There won't be any dregs left, not even a corpse."

The light in the room was very weak, and dust fell from the ceiling, lightly, and in the blink of an eye, there was nothing.

"You shouldn't forget that there was a mental patient living here before, right?"

Tao He looked at this person expressionlessly, but he was not happy at all.

What director Hu said to himself is in his mind.

'This is unbelievable...' 'It's not in my power...'

"You stay in this room forever, either die or go crazy."

"This is what you owe Ji Yao, you can only pay him your brain."

The author has something to say: Duan Zha's page can basically be turned over, and there will only be a chapter to explain his ending.
