dead dog

"Little Red Riding Hood poured the broth bucket by bucket into the big stone trough according to grandma's instructions. A burst of aroma wafted up the roof and into the nose of the wolf, and Little Red Riding Hood stopped to rest—"

In the ward, Facia spread the Grimm's fairy tales on her lap and read the story of Little Red Riding Hood aloud with great emotion.

Bian Xiaocheng sat upside down on a chair, staring at her intently, with a smile on his face all the time.

"The wolf smelled such a delicious smell of meat, and wanted to look down, but accidentally fell into the big stone trough, and was drowned alive. Little Red Riding Hood and grandma defeated the wolf with their ingenuity." The story is here At the end, Facia closed the book with a snap, "It's over."

Bian Xiaocheng held her stinky feet: "Xiaoya, you read really well,"

Facia raised her eyebrows at him triumphantly, then looked at Zhan Xingyu who was still asleep on the hospital bed: "But brother Xingyu hasn't woken up yet."

Bian Xiaocheng said: "The doctor said there is no rush, we can only wait slowly."

Facia looked at him quietly for a while, then opened the book again: "I'll tell him the story of Little Red Riding Hood again."

Bian Xiaocheng took the book away from her hand: "You have read it four or five times, let's stop here today."

Facia refused to settle down: "Let's take him out to bask in the sun, it's not good to just keep him in the house."

Bian Xiaocheng looked at Zhan Xingyu's pale and thin face in the past two days, hesitated for a moment, and then went out to find a doctor. The doctor said that the patient can leave the ward to breathe the air and bask in the sun, which will be conducive to recovery.So Bian Xiaocheng found a wheelchair, and the two nurses moved Zhan Xingyu to the wheelchair, and pushed the wheelchair and Facia out of the inpatient building.

Behind the building is a garden with several stone pavilions planted on the green grass, where several nurses and patients walked.The two pushed Zhan Xingyu to the bottom of a big willow tree, and strands of shade fell down, staining the grass in light ink.A seven or eight-year-old boy in a hospital gown looked curiously at Zhan Xingyu, who was sitting on the wheelchair with his eyes closed, and asked, "Is big brother asleep?"

Facia unfolded a thin blanket to cover Zhan Xingyu, and smiled optimistically and cheerfully: "That's right, big brother fell asleep and will wake up tomorrow."

Bian Xiaocheng brought a quilt from the ward, spread the quilt on the grass, and the two of them sat on the ground, as if they were on an outing.Facia looked at Zhan Xingyu's face, and said emotionally: "I always thought he was a very arrogant and unapproachable person."

Bian Xiaocheng said: "Actually, Mr. Zhan is a very nice person. He stays with him very kindly. Although he is young, he has a strong working ability and has helped Mr. Jiang a lot."

They all lacked understanding of Zhan Xingyu, and the only thoughts they could tell about Zhan Xingyu were their ability to work and how to deal with people. Zhan Xingyu was used to being indifferent and would not have too much contact with them.

Bian Xiaocheng's cell phone rang, he took out his cell phone, and said, "It's Lawyer Bai." Then he connected the phone, "Hello, Lawyer Bai. Yes, yes, I took Mr. Zhan out to bask in the sun, we are in the hospital In the garden behind the building."

After Bian Xiaocheng finished talking on the phone, Facia asked, "Who is it?"

Bian Xiaocheng said, "The company's legal advisor, come over to see Mr. Zhan."

Soon, Bai Sinian came along the garden path, holding a bouquet of pink and white eustomas in his arms.He walked up to Facia and Bian Xiaocheng, and greeted them with a smile: "Hi, I'm here to see Xingyu."

Bian Xiaocheng took the flowers in his arms and exchanged a few words with him.When Bai Sinian proposed to stay alone with Zhan Xingyu for a while, Bian Xiaocheng hesitated, but he had no reason to refuse, so he took Facia away.

Bai Sinian walked up to Zhan Xingyu's wheelchair, knelt down and looked at Zhan Xingyu, and after looking at him for a long time, he said, "You are so cunning, I am not sure whether you are really asleep or you are lying again. I."

He touched Zhan Xingyu's hand and found that Zhan Xingyu's body temperature was low, so he put his hand under the blanket and said, "You can't blame me, you can only blame yourself for not trusting me for not even a little time Give me."

He sat down in front of the wheelchair, held Zhan Xingyu's hand through the blanket, lowered his head, his posture seemed to be confessing, but there was only a boundless cold light in his eyes: "My time is running out, there are some things that must be done , I have no choice. You know it's important to me, and I can't afford to lose them."

He closed his eyes, forbearance and struggle: "You know that I can't give up everything we have built over the years, but you don't understand me at all. You have been forcing me to make choices, but I have no choice, I have no choice. !"

His suppressed and angry growl was not heard by anyone, and the garden in the afternoon was still sunny with a gentle breeze.

He stood up suddenly, walked to Zhan Xingyu, blocked Bian Xiaocheng and Facia who were not far away with his body, took out a palm-sized black box from his suit pocket, and pressed a small mechanism at the bottom of the box, From the side of the box protruded a thin needle-like transistor with a thumb-length tip, and suddenly inserted the transistor into Xingyu's temple.

He bent over Zhan Xingyu's head and said softly, "I will wake you up and take you away."

Bian Xiaocheng remembered that Jiang Ying had told him not to allow any strangers to approach Zhan Xingyu. Although Bai Sinian was not a stranger, he still needed to be on guard during critical times.He counted the time Bai Sinian and Zhan Xingyu spent alone, and after 10 minutes, he felt that the time was almost up, so he went back under the tree.

When he walked behind Bai Sinian, Bai Sinian turned to him. He saw that Bai Sinian stuffed something in his pocket, but he didn't care, and said, "Lawyer Bai, the doctor said Mr. Zhan is easy to catch cold now." , can’t stay outside for too long, it’s time to go back to the ward.”

Bai Sinian smiled and said, "That's right, it's autumn now, and the wind is indeed a bit chilly."

Bian Xiaocheng put the lisianthus on Zhan Xingyu's legs, and covered him with a blanket. He accidentally turned his head and saw the hem of Bai Sinian's suit, and was startled suddenly.

Facia broke a few willow branches and inserted them into the platycodon flowers, and said happily, "Secretary Bian, do you look good?"

Bian Xiaocheng: "Oh, it looks good."

Bai Sinian left, walking gracefully and gracefully as when he came,

Facia pushed the wheelchair and walked on the stone path in the garden, looked left and right, and found that Bian Xiaocheng was distracted, so she waved vigorously in front of his face: "Hey, hey, what are you thinking?"

Bian Xiaocheng looked very puzzled: "Just now I saw a few hairs on Lawyer Bai's clothes. They are yellow and soft, like the hairs of an orange cat."

Facia didn't know why: "So?"

Bian Xiaocheng: "Before I went to the fire brigade to deal with the follow-up. I heard from the firefighters that Zhan Zong was the only one in the house when the fire broke out in Zhan Zong's villa, but there was a cat litter box and a small bowl for cats in the living room, and there were some orange ones in it." Cat fur, but there are no cats in the house."

Facia: "Is it Brother Xingyu's cat?"

Bian Xiaocheng said firmly, "Boss Zhan really hates cats and dogs, so it's unlikely that he would keep a cat."

Facia: "Then why does he have a litter box at home?"

Bian Xiaocheng crossed his arms and thought: "That is to say, why is there a litter box in the villa, but no cats?"

Facia was absent-minded, and said casually: "He has been raised for two days and doesn't want to raise him anymore, so he can give it away or be taken away."

When Bian Xiaocheng heard this, he was enlightened, and immediately wanted to call Jiang Ying: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of that."

The call was connected, but the person who answered was Ye Chuyang: "Secretary Bian, Jiang Ying has passed out!"

Bian Xiaocheng was stunned: "Ah? What's going on? Where are you?"

Ye Chuyang: "We have already entered the urban area. On the way to the hospital, you inform the hospital to open the emergency channel."

Bian Xiaocheng: "Okay, okay, you drive the car to the north gate."

A few minutes later, Ye Chuyang drove the car to the north gate, got out of the car and opened the rear door. Two male nurses carried Jiang Ying out and put him on the hospital bed. Oxygen mask.A group of people pushed the hospital bed directly into the emergency room from the emergency passage.

Ye Chuyang wanted to follow them, but his legs were so weak that he had no strength, so he could only lean against the wall to take a few breaths; just now he walked two or three kilometers up the mountain with Jiang Ying on his back before reaching the side of the road where he parked. Immediately called for help, but the signal on the mountain was weak, and the phone could not be dialed several times, so he could only go down the mountain with Jiang Ying on his back, and then drove back to the city.

Bian Xiaocheng followed the hospital bed, and Facia saw Ye Chuyang was sweating profusely, so she fanned Ye Chuyang with her hands: "Why did my brother-in-law faint? Is he injured again?"

Ye Chuyang was no longer tired, but sweat was still rolling down his forehead, he took off his glasses and wiped the sweat with his sleeve, and said, "Go in and watch Jiang Ying, and call me if you have any problems. "

After speaking, he returned to the car and sat in the driver's seat, put his glasses back on, turned the car around on the spot, and the body flew out.

Facia thought he would wait until Jiang Ying woke up, but he just sent Jiang Ying to the hospital and left. She yelled at the rear of the car, "Where are you going!"

Ye Chuyang drove to the first sub-bureau, and after being cleared by the security guards, he ran all the way into the office building, and called Haiyang on the way up.Hai Yang had just finished the meeting and was sorting out the meeting minutes in the office. He received a call from Ye Chuyang and heard that Ye Chuyang wanted to see him, so he said, "Then come here, I'm in the unit office."

As soon as the words were finished, the door of the office was pushed open, Ye Chuyang strode in, and said, "I want to see Song Youhai."

Haiyang almost didn't realize it: "...Who are you seeing?"

Ye Chuyang: "Song Youhai. Is he in the medical center? I want to see him. You should think of a way."

He has always been gentle and leisurely, and has never been so impatient like now, Haiyang noticed something strange: "Why do you see Song Youhai?"

Ye Chuyang was very impatient at this time: "Of course I only want to see him if I have something to do. You let me meet him first and then ask me if I can do it."

Haiyang was fair: "No, unless you have a good reason to convince me, otherwise according to the regulations, you are not allowed to see him."

Ye Chuyang struggled when he thought of the scene where Jiang Ying fainted in front of him.

He couldn't tell Haiyang that he had found Xue Lin's body, and he was worried that Xue Lin's body would contain evidence of guilt, which pointed to Jiang Ying.He is not great, he does not yet have the courage to kill his relatives righteously, and he is lucky, maybe he can find out the truth, maybe Jiang Ying is not the murderer.

He is not good at disguising, and Haiyang saw that he was hiding something, so he asked in an official tone, "Speak, why do you want to see Song Youhai?"

Ye Chuyang: "I want to figure out one thing, a very important thing."

Haiyang: "What's the matter?"

Ye Chuyang needs help so much now, he looked at Haiyang, and pinned his hopes on Haiyang: "We watched the video of Jiang Ying meeting Song Youhai in the detention center together, do you still remember what Song Youhai said to Jiang Ying ?"

Haiyang frowned and thought for a while: "Song Youhai has been crazy and didn't say anything."

Ye Chuyang shook his head feebly, and said, "No, he did. He said two words, dead people and black holes."

Haiyang couldn't understand: "Dead people and black holes? What do you mean?"

Ye Chuyang took two steps back and sat on the sofa by the wall, and found that his hands were very cold, so he clasped his hands together, squeezed his fingers vigorously, and said, "I don't know, but I want to find out."

Haiyang turned on the computer, searched the computer for a while, and asked, "Are you talking about this video?"

Ye Chuyang walked over, stood behind him and bent over to look at the computer screen. He saw the surveillance video of Jiang Ying seeing Song Youhai when he went to the detention center two months ago. Bai Sinian was with Jiang Ying; he could not visit Song Youhai. It was because Bai Sinian was with him, and under the name that Bai Sinian was Song Youhai's defense lawyer, that he could meet Song Youhai smoothly.

Ye Chuyang: "Yes, can I read it again?"

Haiyang: "You can watch it as many times as you want."

The beginning of the video is the meeting room. Jiang Ying and Song Youhai are sitting opposite each other. Jiang Ying starts to ask Song Youhai questions, but Song Youhai is like a dead wood, hearing but not listening, turning a blind eye.In order to stimulate Song Youhai, Jiang Ying deliberately mentioned Song Youhai's daughter Song Xiaoqian, and Song Youhai started to tell Jiang Ying the murderer again and again as if he was in a nightmare.Jiang Ying provoked him with frivolous words again, and he angrily called Jiang Ying a murderer.

Jiang Ying pressed him to ask Song Youhai to clarify who he killed, and Song Youhai said: Dead people, black holes, he can't be allowed to appear alive before the light.

Haiyang pulled this passage back and played it again, but still didn't hear any mystery.

But Ye Chuyang said lightly: "He seems to be repeating someone else's words."

Haiyang: "Repeat someone else's words?"

Ye Chuyang said: "Song Youhai's language function is damaged, and the words "dead man" and "black hole" are incomplete, like a language organized by Song Youhai himself. But the latter sentence can't let him appear alive before dawn, which is a complete statement, unlike It is the language organized by Song Youhai himself."

After Haiyang thought about it, it seemed that this was the case: "You mean, someone said this to him?"

Ye Chuyang: "I'm not sure, I can only guess."

Haiyang continued to play the video, and the camera captured Jiang Ying walking out of the meeting room, walking a few steps along the corridor, and then stopped.And not far behind him, Song Youhai was standing in the corridor with his arms grabbed by two policemen. Jiang Ying and Song Youhai were facing the same direction, and seemed to be looking at the same place... The picture was still for a few seconds, and Song Youhai suddenly went crazy , shouting at Jiang Ying: "You killed my daughter! You made me like this! I'm going to kill you!"

Song Youhai's roar shook the entire room trembling.

Ye Chuyang suddenly lost the confidence to continue the investigation. Looking at Song Youhai who was so sad and angry, he seemed not qualified to seek justice for Jiang Ying.His confidence was collapsing, but under tremendous psychological pressure, he asked Haiyang to play this passage again. After listening to Song Youhai's accusation that Jiang Ying was the murderer four or five times, he finally asked Haiyang to stop the video and said : "Where is he looking?"

Haiyang was familiar with the layout of the detention center, and said: "Turn right out of the corridor to the lobby on the first floor. There is a grooming mirror on the east wall of the lobby. Both Jiang Ying and Song Youhai can see the grooming mirror. What Song Youhai sees is in the mirror. Jiang Ying."

Haiyang's analysis was correct. Ye Chuyang also saw the grooming mirror, but from the angle of the camera looking down, he could only see the vertical section of the mirror, but not the print in the mirror. When you stare in the mirror, you must be looking at the person in the mirror.Apart from Song Youhai and Jiang Ying, there were only two policemen left in the corridor that could be reflected in the mirror facing the corridor.Then the only person Song Youhai recognized as the murderer was Jiang Ying.

So Haiyang's analysis is correct.

But Ye Chuyang discovered a detail so subtle that many people overlooked it: "Song Youhai and Jiang Ying stand in different positions. Jiang Ying is on the right side of the corridor, and Song Youhai is on the left side of the corridor."

Haiyang was dazed: "What's wrong?"

Ye Chuyang's heart was pounding, and he tried his best to speak in a calm tone: "Their perspectives are different."

Haiyang: "Perspective?"

Ye Chuyang took a pen and drew a horizontal line and a vertical line on the paper, similar to the number '7', but horizontal and vertical.He pointed to the graphic with a pen, and said: "Look, the corridor and the lobby have this shape, and the grooming mirror is at the corner between the east wall of the lobby. Turning right from the corridor is the lobby. The grooming mirror is very large, and part of it faces the corridor. , part of it facing the lobby. At that time, Jiang Ying was standing on the right side of the corridor, surrounded by the wall of the corridor, so his sight was blocked, and he could only see the people in the corridor printed in the mirror. But Song Youhai was standing on the left side of the corridor, his sight It is not blocked by the wall of the corridor on the right, and you can see the scene of the lobby printed in the mirror."

With a snap, Ye Chuyang folded the nib of the pen in his hand, and a puddle of blue ink emerged from the broken nib, staining a piece of white paper.

Ye Chuyang exhaled, looked at Haiyang and said, "Do you understand what I mean? Jiang Ying couldn't see the lobby, but Song Youhai could. Maybe there was a third person in the lobby at that time, and the murderer Song Youhai identified might not be Jiang Ying, but the one standing in the lobby."

Haiyang was in a daze for a while, then suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help expressing his inner feelings with the phrase 'fuck', then immediately called the detention center and asked the detention center to retrieve the surveillance video in the lobby that day.Soon, the time slot was cut at the detention center and the surveillance video was sent to Haiyang's computer.

Haiyang immediately turned on the video and found the time when the incident happened. It was exactly as Ye Chuyang said, but there was another person in the lobby, and his figure was printed in the mirror.

Haiyang was confused again: "How could it be him?"

Ye Chuyang was neither surprised nor surprised, he had never thought about who this person was, but no matter who it was, he would not be surprised—even if this person was Bai Sinian.
