"We did meet Teacher Wang that night."

An Wei admitted that he met Wang Jingping at the "Firework" bar at ten o'clock that night, but Wang Jingping's face was already injured at that time, and they had no conflict with Wang Jingping, they were only lectured.Wang Jingping left at about ten ten o'clock. After Wang Jingping left, An Wei and the other two students felt disappointed, so they planned to move to another place.

Several people walked along the riverside walkway, and met the gangster who had fought with them a few days ago.At that time, there were many people on the other side, An Wei and Cao Kun ran away, and Zhang Weidong, who was left behind, was injured and is still lying in the hospital.

Cibin stayed with Chai Lu to continue talking with the rest of the students, while Yin Hao went to the hospital to check with Zhang Weidong.

Zhang Weidong's hospital is the same as Ji Shang's hospital, the No. [-] City Hospital.

When he was about to arrive at the hospital, Deng Deng called. Ji Shang's dislocated hand was wet when he took a bath, and he was accompanying Ji Shang to change the dressing in the hospital.

Less than two hours before the off-duty time, Deng Deng sent Yin Hao the location of the outpatient clinic, hoping to facilitate the 'handover' of Jishang at the hospital.

When Yin Hao arrived at the orthopedic clinic, he was stopped by Deng Deng as soon as he turned into the corridor.

The little stool raised his chin and pointed not far away: "Don't go there, it seems that you met an old acquaintance."

Ji Shang's face was half blocked by the male doctor in a white coat standing in front of him, but the bewilderment on that half of his face was completely visible.

The two of them were looking at each other without saying a word, Yin Hao had never seen such an expression on Ji Shang's face.

The small stool pulled Yin Hao to sit on the chair in the calling area: "Brother Jiu has already changed his medicine, and it shouldn't take long for him to say a few words to the doctor, or I'll leave first? I found out a few Information, I want to go back to the team for cross-comparison with other information.”

"Ninth brother?"

"He asked me to call it that way. In order not to expose the trap, who cares what my friend calls Mr.?" The little stool asked again: "Can I go or not?"

Before Yin Hao could answer, a text message popped up on his phone.

Ji Shang: I met a friend, let's go to the coffee shop downstairs, I'll wait for you there.

Yin Hao gave the text message to the little stool for a look, then walked away with long legs: "I'll go find Zhang Weidong first."

"Then what should I do here? Should I continue to stare? Eh? Are you talking? Why did you suddenly take the ice-cold route? Yin Hao? Brother Yin?"

Zhang Weidong had multiple soft tissue contusions all over his body, but none of his internal organs or bones were injured.When Yin Hao arrived at the ward, he was sitting on the bed, eating bananas and watching the replay of Journey to the West.

Zhang Weidong's personality is different from An Wei's. An Wei is tough and soft-hearted, but Zhang Weidong is a solid counselor from the inside out.

After Yin Hao revealed his identity, he told the truth honestly.

The information provided by Zhang Weidong is consistent with that provided by An Wei and Cao Kun.In addition, Yin Hao learned that Zhang Weidong's mother confiscated his mobile phone the night he was injured in order to punish his son for going out with his classmates.

In other words, Zhang Weidong could not exchange news with An Wei and Cao Kun in advance, and the words of these three people are highly credible.

"Actually, I didn't want to go to the bar anymore after being found out by the teacher. But An Wei insisted on going. He said that Gan Luoluo is fake and high-minded. People like her will definitely go back after they have tasted the sweetness of making quick money. Then we will I took a picture of her to get revenge on her for stabbing us to the bar. I didn’t see Gan Luoluo that day, and we were scolded by Teacher Wang again, and we left the bar quickly.”

Zhang Weidong paused and said again: "I don't need to talk about the rest of the matter. I was beaten and reported to the police."

Yin Hao said: "It is true that the police were called, but your mother called the police after your mother rushed to the hospital. If I remember correctly, the time to call the police was close to eleven o'clock in the evening. It took less than an hour from the fireworks to the hospital." , where did you go the rest of the time?"

Zhang Weidong hesitated: "Can I not say it?"

Yin Hao: "If you don't mind being investigated as a suspect. In addition, I remind you that you are already 14 years old. If it is really related to you..."

Zhang Weidong quickly waved his hands: "No, no, that's not what I mean. The matter of Mr. Wang really has nothing to do with me. I haven't seen him since I left the bar. After I was beaten by those gangsters, I didn't dare to go home, so I Sit by the river for a while. Then..."

"Then what?"

"Then I heard a woman sitting by the river bank crying. I thought someone was thinking about it...but it turned out to be Teacher Chen. She took me to the hospital. But she told me not to tell her about meeting her that night. other people."

"Which Teacher Chen?"

"The Chinese teacher in class seven is called Chen Qianyi."

There may have been such a person in most people's life, you and him parted suddenly because of some things.In fact, you have always had the opportunity to find him, but you can't take that step.

You spend your days with memories and misses, making many good assumptions about his coming to you and your meeting.And when you meet by chance one day, you suddenly realize that what you have been obsessed with may be only those years, not that person.

The sun and the moon are gone, no one can escape time.

Ji Shang did not expect to meet Ding Hengyuan again on this occasion.But after thinking about it, it seems reasonable, because Ding Hengyuan studied medicine.

When Ji Shang met Ding Hengyuan, Ding Hengyuan was in his freshman year.Many years have passed, and this person's facial features and temperament have not changed much, except that there is an extra pair of glasses on his face.The youthful aura of that year is gone, but it is still as gentle and elegant as before.

"Xiao Jiu, have I changed a lot? Haven't you recognized me yet?"

When he heard the novel "The Girl in the Burning Flower Field" from Yin Hao, for a brief moment, Ji Shang linked this murder case with Ding Hengyuan.But it was only for a moment, because Ji Shang quickly realized that this was just like venting his anger in the world of words, and it was also a kind of hope in his subconscious.

Ding Hengyuan looked at Ji Shang with a smile on his face, very patient and gentle.After Ji Shang came back to his senses, the first thought that came into his mind was that there was absolutely no way this person had anything to do with the murder.

Elderly people pay attention to returning to their roots. After living in the city for many years, Ji Shang's grandmother moved back to her hometown of Ning'an City and lived in her birthplace, a small village named Huatai.

After grandma moved to the countryside, Ji Shang went to Huatai Village every summer vacation.Stay for a short or long time.

The third time Ji Shang went to Huatai Village was during the summer vacation, and that time he met Ding Hengyuan.

Ji Shang was originally looking for Ding Sixin that day.Ding Sixin is a self-acquaintance, about the same age as Ji Shang, the two quickly became acquainted with each other not long after they came to Huatai Village for the first time.

Ji Shang's high school is a provincial priority. He has prepared several sets of real college entrance examination questions over the years and plans to give them to Ding Sixin.

Ding Sixin is not at home.But standing outside the courtyard wall of her house was a person Ji Shang had never seen before, smoking a cigarette impatiently and helplessly.

Ji Shang heard from Ding Sixin that she has an older brother named Ding Hengyuan who is good-looking, has good academic performance, and is perfect in all aspects.

Ji Shang guessed that the person who sweated and smoked under the sun should be Ding Hengyuan.

"You are Xiaojiu?" Ding Hengyuan turned around and saw Ji Shang, and spoke first.

Ji Shang said: "You are Ding Sixin's elder brother? Xiaoyuan."

"It's not big or small, it's Brother Yuan." Ding Hengyuan's anxious expression faded just now, and he waved to Ji Shang, motioning him to come over: "Xiaoxin went to find a classmate, do you have something to do with her?"

Ji Shang felt that Ding Hengyuan's gestures seemed to be teasing a child, which made him a little uncomfortable.Ji Shang, who is one step away from adulthood, is the least willing to be treated as a child by others.Not to mention a young man like Ding Hengyuan who is not much older than him.

But Ji Shanggui walked over like a wall, and handed the real test paper to Ding Hengyuan.

When Ji Shang was about to leave, Ding Hengyuan stopped him again.

Ding Hengyuan stubbed out the cigarette butt, he walked in front of Ji Shang, the hot wind blew the white shirt upside down, and there was a hint of tobacco smell in the wind.Ji Shang didn't think it smelled bad.

There is a stone countertop inside the courtyard wall. This kind of countertop is very common in rural areas. It can be used for laundry, vegetables and sundries.

There is also one in Jishang's grandmother's yard.When I went to Huatai in the first year, my grandmother's house did not have an air conditioner.Ji Shang filled the table with water, lay in it to enjoy the cool, and was chased and beaten by his grandmother all over the yard with a hanger.

A red-crested rooster with its feet bound was lying on the stone platform of Ding Hengyuan's house. The feathers around the cock's neck had been plucked, and the feathers were scattered here and there.

When Ding Hengyuan and Ji Shang entered the yard, the rooster with its feet bound seemed to suddenly realize the threat, and struggled to stand up while screaming. After several attempts, it fell from the stone platform to the ground and kept thumping tenaciously .

Ji Shang couldn't help laughing, he pointed at his eyebrows, imitating Ding Hengyuan's sad expression when he was outside smoking a cigarette just now, and sneered: "You were outside just now, so, so, because of this chicken."

Ding Hengyuan smiled mischievously: "Xiaoxin said that mom had a bad appetite a few days ago, and wanted to eat the chicken stew that grandma used to make. I want to try it."

Ji Shang smiled and said, "I think Xiaoxin wants to eat it."

The two of them stared at the cock flopping on the ground like this for a long time.

Ji Shang suddenly said: "Aren't you studying medicine? Why don't you even dare to kill chickens?"

"Studying medicine is to save lives, not to kill them." Ding Hengyuan provocatively said, "So, how dare you?"

Ji Shang sneered and said, "There's no reason to dare."

Then the two caught the thrashing rooster back. Ding Hengyuan grabbed the chicken wings and the rooster's head together, and the plucked chicken's neck was exposed.

Ji Shang took the kitchen knife that Ding Hengyuan found from the kitchen, stroked the chicken's neck eastward and westward, and changed countless positions, but he couldn't put the knife down.

The two were so tired that they were sweating profusely, and their chicken feathers were flying wildly.The big rooster with a ring of hair missing from its neck returned to the coop, clucking and complaining for a long time.

Such Ding Hengyuan, Ding Hengyuan who remained deep in Ji Shang's memory, could hardly be associated with bloody violence.

"Do you dare to kill chickens now?" Ji Shang asked Ding Hengyuan with a smile.

Ding Hengyuan took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose and laughed helplessly: "Xiao Jiu, you still have to find something to make fun of me."

When he saw the silver ring on Ding Hengyuan's left ring finger, Ji Shang felt like a handful of snow was suddenly stuffed into the back of his neck in the cold winter, but he quickly recovered.He thought this might be the reason why Ding Hengyuan didn't come to him, and this reason was more acceptable to Ji Shang than what Ji Shang was worried about.

Ji Shang smiled and said, "When did it happen? Congratulations, Brother Yuan."

In the past, Ding Hengyuan asked Ji Shang to call him Brother Yuan, but Ji Shang refused to listen and kept calling him Xiao Yuan.So when Ji Shang called out Brother Yuan, Ding Hengyuan was still stunned in the unfamiliar atmosphere.

He put on his glasses, looked at the ring on his hand, and said with a smile, "I got married two years after graduation, and my daughter is already six years old."

As Ding Hengyuan said, he took out his mobile phone and showed it to Ji Shang.

The little girl in the photo is very cute, Ji Shang said: "The eyes are round, the mouth is only so small, and there is this dimple, and..."

Ji Shang stopped in the middle of his speech.He looked up at Ding Hengyuan, there was no look of grief or avoidance on his face.

Ding Hengyuan just smiled in relief, took the phone and said, "You also feel like Sixin, and I feel the same way, as if carved out of a mold."

The two chatted briefly for a while, and then Ji Shang knew that Ding Hengyuan's mother had passed away, and his father was currently in poor health and living in a nearby rehabilitation hospital.

Ding Hengyuan had an operation half an hour later, and asked Ji Shang about the precautions for arm care. After exchanging contact information, he got up and said goodbye.

Before Ding Hengyuan left, Ji Shang asked him a question.

"Why didn't I meet you the night I came to the hospital with a hand injury?"

Ding Hengyuan paused and asked, "Which night?"

Ji Shang said: "On the night of the 10rd, arrive here at about 30:[-]."

Ji Shang's nonsense was not very clever, and he secretly changed the date, but if Ding Hengyuan accidentally learned about his real time for medical treatment, he could barely get over his misremembering.

"On the night of the third, 10:30." Ding Hengyuan looked at Ji Shang, repeated his words, and said with a smile: "My father was a little unwell that night, and I stayed in the rehabilitation hospital all night after get off work."
