12 years zero soul

He had a nightmare, but couldn't remember what it was about.All he knew was that it was a very horrific nightmare.He could only raise his head and keep yelling.

He probably woke up when someone called him.Open your eyes, for a while, only see a fog.He waited quietly, not moving.His eyes gradually focused, and a blurry outline appeared in front of his eyes.After getting used to it, he saw a nurse's face.

"Mr. Gao Yu, Mr. Gao Yu."

The nurse called softly, which was probably his name.In his vague consciousness, surrounded by blindingly white walls, he gradually realized that he was in the hospital.

"Here... what's wrong with me?"

The voice he managed to squeeze out was so hoarse that even he couldn't believe it.

The nurse let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't you remember?"

He wanted to sit up, but his whole body was so painful that he couldn't move at all.

The nurse helped Qiuren pull the quilt in a panic and said, "Don't force it, the doctor will come right away."

"why……"

Just when he was about to ask, he realized that he had been injured in many places all over his body, which had been well bandaged, and the pain was extremely painful under the bandages.

The left leg was put in a plaster cast, the left hand was immobilized, and the right hand was also wrapped in bandages. What about the face?Why does his head hurt so much...

"Don't get excited, calm down!"

The doctor said, and hurriedly stopped Qiu Ren's movements.

What the hell happened?Qiu Ren stared at the doctor, he always had an indescribable strange feeling.

"You don't remember at all?"

The doctor asked in a tentative tone, and asked Qiu Ren to think of it on his own.

Qiu Ren began to explore his memories. In the vague darkness, he seemed to see a very strong light, and there was a lot of noise...

"You had a car accident, and both you and your companion were seriously injured."

The nurses and doctors slowly examined Qiu Ren's head carefully, and only then did he notice that there was still a black "object" in the room.

"Car accident? Injured?" Qiu Ren's expression twisted, and he kept shaking his body vigorously, "What's going on? What happened? I don't know at all!"

"What about before the car accident? What happened?"

The black objects continued to ask, their sharp eyes staring at Qiu Ren's every move.

"Enough, the patient needs to rest, can't the two police officers see that the patient is very unstable?!"

The doctor stopped him, his expression seemed to express that Qiu Ren was in great pain now.

"Doctor, Senior and I have been waiting for almost three months."

The young criminal policeman spoke in a relaxed tone, but he didn't intend to back down at all.

"What happened... what happened. I don't know, I can't remember." Qiu Ren seemed to want to raise his hands, but found that his whole body seemed to be paralyzed, then raised his head and looked at the doctor with fear in his eyes.

"Okay, you calm down first!" The doctor comforted, and then said a few words to the nurse next to him.The nurse immediately injected some kind of liquid into Qiu Ren's arm, and Qiu Ren's body gradually relaxed.

The doctor immediately said to the two criminal policemen: "Judging from the current condition of the patient, you two should come back next week."

"Varied--"

"Ok."

The middle-aged criminal policeman signaled his junior to shut up, reluctantly walked away, and before leaving, he deliberately glanced at Qiu Ren on the bed.

The young detective gave an affectionate and impatient "tsk" and followed.

Just a week later, the two police officers couldn't wait to come to the hospital to seek the doctor's consent.When they came to the ward, both of them showed surprise expressions on their faces. Qiu Ren's injury healed faster than they imagined.

"We are going to record your statement now, is there any problem?"

Although Qiu Ren was silent, he did not refuse.So, the middle-aged criminal police moved a chair and sat down in front of the hospital bed, and asked, "What do you do every day now?"

"Nothing, nothing to do..."

Qiuren replied.Although he regained consciousness a little, he still felt weak all over his body and could only move while lying on the hospital bed.

The middle-aged policeman glanced at Qiu Ren's pillow.

"Are you a photographer?"

Qiu Ren turned to the middle-aged criminal policeman and looked at him with a look of "you are very strange", "I... am a photographer?"

"You—" the young policeman pouted, "Stop pretending, isn't there a camera next to you?! We've already investigated your identity. But now—"

"Okay!" The middle-aged criminal policeman stopped him from continuing, and then took out a photo from his pocket, "Do you know this person?"

The interrupted young detective stared at Qiu Ren's face and snorted coldly, with a trace of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.

Qiu Ren's hand was still bandaged with gauze, unable to take the photo, he leaned over and carefully identified it.After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Who...this...who is it?"

"Asami Ryuichi."

The middle-aged criminal policeman called him "Ryuichi Asami" unceremoniously, which made Qiuren feel very uncomfortable.

Qiu Ren didn't speak, but shook his head slightly.

"you do not know?"

Gou Ke stared at Qiu Ren, as if he wanted to catch even the smallest subtle changes.

"Yes, I don't know."

Qiu Ren replied firmly.

The middle-aged policeman said in a threatening tone: "But we found out that you often meet this man, and it seems that you have a close relationship. Even before the incident, someone saw you often going in and out of his office. What kind of deal are you doing? Is it? Or are you employed by him?"

The sullen young detective asked him in a routine tone, "Did you know something you shouldn't know, so you were silenced?"

The more Qiu Ren listened, the more confused his mind became, and the aggressive appearance of the two criminal policemen was imprinted in his pupils.

"There is no such thing!"

Qiu Ren closed his eyes, as if he was trying to suppress something that surged up from his heart.

The middle-aged criminal policeman wanted to call him, but finally controlled himself.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just as there was a knock on the door, the door of the ward was pushed open.

The two criminal policemen reacted instantly, instinctively pressing their hands to their waists, and staring at the door.

"Who?"

The middle-aged criminal policeman roared.

The visitor held a black briefcase in his left hand and pushed his glasses expressionlessly.

"Kuroda from the Tokyo District Attorney's Office."

Hearing this, the middle-aged criminal policeman relaxed his tense body, but his tone was colder than before.

"The Prosecutor's Office? What are you doing here?"

"Ask for a confession."

"Hehe." The middle-aged criminal policeman, "When did the people from the local prosecutor's office take care of traffic accidents?"

Hei Tian walked towards Qiu Ren's hospital bed, "I have something to ask him, can you please leave first?"

"you--"

"Hey...Prosecutor Kuroda, this is against the rules."

The young detective couldn't stand it, and planned to argue with Kuroda, but was stopped by the middle-aged detective.

"Is there a problem?" Kuroda didn't answer the question, and continued: "It was purely a traffic accident, and there was nothing suspicious. Your section chief will explain to you that from now on, I will be in charge here." Hei After Tian finished speaking, he turned his face away, turned his back to the two detectives and said, "Please go back."

"senior?"

Who are you kidding!Will ordinary cases be taken over by the local prosecutor's office? !There must be someone who is intervening in the dark, so that the people above can hastily close the case.

"Okay, let's go."

No need to think twice, the middle-aged criminal policeman has already made a decision.

"senior?!"

The middle-aged criminal policeman pushed his junior away with his hands.As long as it is an order from the people above, the opinions of "idle people" like them are not important at all.

Qiu Ren had just recovered when he suddenly felt that the room was surprisingly quiet.He couldn't stand a closed space like a ward, and he could imagine dying from suffocation.

Qiu Ren raised his head, and found that the two annoying detectives had left, but it seemed that someone had changed.Intuition told Qiu Ren that this man was more terrifying than the two criminal policemen just now.

"You... really don't know this man?"

Kuroda took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it to Qiu Ren.

Why is it him again? !

"I told you I don't know each other! How many times do you want me to tell you!"

Whether this person or that person, they will only ask about a man named "Ryuichi Asami".Then why no one cares about his physical condition? !

However, every time the man in the photo is mentioned, a figure always stubbornly emerges in Qiu Ren's mind.With resentment accumulated in his chest, Qiu Ren stretched out his right hand, which was tightly wrapped in gauze, to touch the photo, but failed to align it.

strange?

The doubts in Qiu Ren's heart continued to expand.

"Next time you see this man, remember to run away."

"Eh?"

Having nothing to say, Kuroda decisively put away the photos, "How much do you remember about yourself?"

"I don't know, even if I know something, I don't want to say it."

Surprised that he said something wrong, Qiu Ren immediately covered his mouth with his hands, and kept cursing himself "idiot" in secret.

Looking down at Akiren, the curled up body was so uneasy, Kuroda had an urge to touch him.The blank past, even the things that happened in the past have been wiped clean...

……

"Am I not as good as Ryuichi Asami?"

Kuroda asked a question coldly, but Akiren was caught off guard.

"No...you are much better than him."

"Then..." Why didn't you choose him, but...

"You're terrible!" Qiu Ren stared straight at him, his clear eyes gleaming with the unique drive of young people. "But Ma Jian is worse than you! Not only is she lustful, but also has a strong and domineering attitude. Not only does she look down on me, but she always treats me like a child..."

"Then...why?"

Having said that, there was no trace of resentment in Qiu Ren's eyes.

"But Ma Jian - he will never use me, nor will he lie to me." Qiu Ren paused, with a faint smile on his face, "Never... try to change me."

Akihito understood what Kuroda wanted to express, and Asami was a bad person in the social sense.Although Qiu Ren did not betray his career and soul, he chose Ma Jian after all, and it is inevitable that he will be considered a "partner" in the future.

Knowing that what was stretched out to him was a hand full of sin, even though he hesitated, he finally handed himself over to Ma Jian's hands.

But what about Ma Jian?

Thinking of this, Qiu Ren had a faint wry smile on his lips.

Kuroda remembered that before he met Akihito, he would think, what kind of person would make the legendary man Ryuichi Asami so crazy.And when he knew that the other party was a reporter, Kuroda thought that it must be Akihito who provided some information to Asami.Later, when he met Qiu Ren, he subconsciously used the power of attorney to measure Qiu Ren's value, and finally decided that it was not worth doing for a mere "Gao Yu Qiu Ren".

The center around is the question of "whether it's worth it or not".

"I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

Kuroda knew that he was torturing Qiuren, after all, the other party was too gentle to refuse.

Qiu Ren was at a loss for words. It would be fine if it was a joke, but Qiu Ren noticed the special seriousness in Kuroda's tone.

Qiu Ren looked out the window into the distance.

The figures in front of him overlapped, and Kuroda came back from the memories of the past.The sound of the ward's doorknob being turned touched his nerves, and he saw Qiu Ren's surprised expression, as if seeing something that made one almost faint.

Turning his head, Kuroda said softly, "I still can't escape..."
