Lin Pu froze for a moment, and exchanged a glance with Li Xi.Li Xi asked: "Is there nothing else? The case is still unresolved. What about that person yesterday? What about the Qishan case? What about the experiment? No, you just left? What about that Erlangzi?"

Xu Luo blinked, as if he wanted to say something, but he was a little dazed when he heard Gu Nianyi's name.

He didn't say anything in the end, just said: "It's Gu Nianyi who doesn't want to participate anymore, but...before I leave, I still want to see him."

Lin Pu and Li Xi glanced at each other again, and after Xu Luo left, Li Xi shrugged his shoulders at Lin Pu.

Everyone realized that many things had quietly changed after that night.

After Xu Luo finished packing her things, she glanced at her watch, it was past six o'clock in the evening.

Ever since they left the so-called "escape room" island, Xu Luo hadn't seen Gu Nianyi, nor had Gu Nianyi called or sent him a message.

I heard that Gu Nianyi has been staying with Mu Ping and Zhang Jing in the hospital, and that Wang Cheng was seriously injured and was transferred to another hospital. Gu Nianyi has always been aware of the news that he is critically ill, even though he knows that he is always on the verge of life and death.

After thinking about it, Xu Luo called the driver and asked him to pick him up.

On the way, this very talkative driver chatted with him like the first day.

"Mr. Xu originally only said he would live in Heixi for a month, but he didn't expect it to be almost three or four months." The driver said while driving, "Time flies so fast, it's already autumn in a blink of an eye!"

"..." Xu Luo's peach blossom eyes looked out of the window heavily. Although the air conditioner was still blowing, it was indeed autumn.

"Will you be back next time?" the driver said.

"...I don't know yet." Xu Luo smiled, "Maybe not."

"Oh, it's a pity, but if you come back, you can find me anytime." The driver said, "I'm at your service anytime!"

Xu Luo leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a while, then the phone rang.

He picked it up and took a look. It was an unexpected person.

"Hello?" Xu Luo narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Hu?"

"Li Xi said that you are going back to Baijin, right?" Qiu Hu said, "Do you still remember what you owe me?"

Xu Luo said helplessly, "I owe you a date?"

"I want to renege on my debt." Qiu Hu laughed.

"No." Xu Luo smiled, "I always wanted to thank you before, but I didn't have a chance, thank you Brother Hu, if it wasn't for you, the previous case..."

"It's okay, I'm going to change places too." Qiu Hu said, "I've wanted to make a big news for so many years, but in the end, if the big news didn't happen, you have to leave too."

Xu Luo found a cigarette and took it out. After thinking about smoking in the car, he took it down again and said, "Actually, I haven't decided whether to leave or not."

"Could it be that there is still a reason for you to stay?" Qiu Hu laughed loudly, "If I count, it is also possible."

"It's almost here, can I pick you up when I need to go back?" the driver said.

"No need, master, go get busy." Xu Luo said to the phone, "I have something to do, how about this first?"

"Ah, you rejected me ruthlessly, well, I still hope you can stay." Qiu Hu said, "See you later."

Qiu Hu probably only knew that he was leaving, but didn't know what happened to them yesterday, and Xu Luo didn't deliberately tell him, thinking it was just a matter of time.

When Xu Luo arrived at the place, he said goodbye to the driver, and he entered the hospital, the lighter his steps, the more uncertain he felt.

At that time, during the visiting hours, Xu Luo walked through the corridor and walked to the room where Gu Nianyi was.

To his surprise, the door was not closed, and he immediately saw Gu Nianyi's back.

Zhang Jing must have fallen asleep. Gu Nianyi was sitting on a small bench facing the door with half of his face exposed. He looked at the ground and didn't know what he was thinking.

His expression was flat, Xu Luo looked down and saw him clasping his fingers in a daze.

One hand was actually bleeding out.

Gu Nianyi didn't seem to notice it at all, he couldn't feel the external pain, but Xu Luo felt his heart start to panic when he saw it. .

However, Gu Nianyi seemed to notice that his hands were wet very quickly, so he raised his hand and pulled two pieces of paper to hold it down, and sighed.

Feeling something suddenly, Gu Nianyi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the door behind him.

The door was empty and there was nothing.

Gu Nianyi squinted his eyes, then he raised his long legs and kicked the door shut.

Xu Luo, who was by the door, heard the door close to his ear being closed with a bang.

"..." The voice made Xu Luo's chest thump, and after a long time of soothing, he sighed.

He glanced at his hands.

In the 24 hours since Gu Nianyi didn't contact him, Xu Luo wanted to talk to him several times, but he didn't know where to start.

Ever since this incident happened, when he woke up from the compartment between the floors and cut his wrist with a knife, Xu Luo was thinking, forget it, what does this have to do with Gu Nianyi? ?He didn't want to involve Gu Nianyi anymore, just like Gu Nianyi didn't want to take care of this matter anymore.

It was his problem from the beginning, why was he so selfish that Gu Nianyi wanted to help him, just once or twice, how many times Gu Nianyi had saved him.If he didn't show up, Gu Nianyi might live more comfortably than he is now.

Perhaps only when he, the disaster star, leaves, the matter will be completely over.

Xu Luo stood up straight and didn't intend to go in. He walked away quickly and walked into the corridor.

……

In the ward, Gu Nianyi took out his mobile phone again, and he opened WeChat. There was a chat box with Xu Luo at the top, and the word [Draft] was written in it.

Gu Nianyi wanted to tap his thumb down when he heard Zhang Jing coughing.

He looked up and stood up, quickly slid their dialog box away with his thumb, then he threw the phone away, and brought Zhang Jing a basin for her to cough up phlegm.

"It's okay." Gu Nianyi went over to check the situation.

"No..." Zhang Jing patted his hand weakly, "I had a nightmare, dreaming that I was still there..."

Zhang Jing later briefly talked with Gu Nianyi about what happened in the past few days.

He and Mu Ping made an appointment to buy vegetables together. Before they reached the gate of the vegetable market, Wang Cheng called Mu Ping.

"Are you at home now?" Wang Cheng asked.

"No, I'm shopping for vegetables with Xiao Gu's mother." Mu Ping didn't forget to complain, "Didn't the provincial department say you're fine? Why haven't you come back yet?"

The other party lost his voice, and Mu Ping called out twice, "Hello? Hello?"

--"Aunt."

Mu Ping and Zhang Jing looked up and saw a car parked by the side of the road.Zhang Jing said that he didn't see the other party's face clearly at the time, but he saw Wang Cheng sitting in the car with his mobile phone in his hand, looking at them blankly.

"Auntie." Although they couldn't see each other's face, the two of them saw Wang Cheng. Before Mu Ping realized what was going on, Zhang Jing had sharp eyes and saw a knife on Wang Cheng's neck.

"Mu Ping...wait a minute." Zhang Jing immediately stopped Mu Ping.

"Auntie, if the two of you don't get in the car, I will kill him on the spot, and get out of the car now, and kill him indiscriminately in the mall." The other party's voice stated calmly, "In short, it's about seeing people. cut."

This passage was not long, but it caught the ears of the two of them at once, making them totally defenseless.

"You..." Mu Ping looked at Zhang Jing, and when she was about to step back, she saw Wang Cheng's mouth in the car was covered by a black gloved hand.

"I'll say it again." The other party's tone became more indifferent, "Get in the car."

Zhang Jing recalled later, saying: "When we saw Lao Wang, we panicked. If we had turned around and ran away, we might have run away, but how could we turn around and run away. Lao Wang was in the car, and this lunatic got off again. What should I do if the car kills people? I thought a lot about it at the time..."

Gu Nianyi nodded and comforted her: "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this."

Zhang Jing said: "When will you go to work in the bureau? The follow-up matters of the case need to be dealt with."

"..." Gu Nianyi smiled, "Tomorrow, at least wait until you stabilize."

As a result, Gu Nianyi stayed with Zhang Jing for several days, until the news came that Wang Cheng was transferred to another hospital.

This time the situation did not improve, but deteriorated to an irreversible level.Despite repeated requests for all-out treatment, Wang Cheng not only had his finger fractured and then infected, but also his abdominal cavity could not heal due to the infection of the incision, which affected important organs.

He will still have moments of sobriety in the past few days, and after careful consideration, the Bureau still needs to find out some important questions to ask him in the past few days, so as not to get answers later.

Originally, Gu Nianyi was also called, but Gu Nianyi really didn't want to see Wang Cheng. To be precise, he didn't want to see anyone, he didn't want to care about anything, and he was refusing and avoiding him all over his body.

On the fifth day after leaving the island, Gu Nianyi was called to the city bureau.During this period, he only contacted Li Tai alone. When other people called and sent him messages, Gu Nianyi would only say "I'm busy".He didn't know what changes had taken place in the bureau's organizational structure, who came to power, who was dismissed, who was rewarded and who was punished, he didn't know anything.

As for Xu Luo, Xu Luo had never spoken to Gu Nianyi, and Gu Nianyi didn't know what he was doing.

He finally returned to the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau that day. Before he could sit in his office for a while, he was called directly to the meeting room.

Gu Nianyi was wearing black casual clothes. As soon as he entered the meeting room, he saw three people sitting facing him. One was Li Tai whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and the other two were people Gu Nianyi didn't know.Looking at the makeup of the two of them, he already guessed that they were professionals in psychological counseling and assessment.

Compared with other prefecture-level cities, each branch of Heixi does not have its own professional psychological intervention department. When it comes to the city bureau, some experts will be hired from outside. During his years in the police force, there are not many colleagues who have done psychological intervention in his impression. Psychological counseling was provided only once after being forced to shoot.

Sure enough, one of the women wearing glasses said: "Hello, Officer Gu, we have heard about your situation before, so we are here today mainly to help you return to work as soon as possible."

Gu Nianyi was in a daze, staring at the two of them motionless, but his gaze was erratic, and he didn't listen to a word they said.

"...So, we want to give you an assessment as soon as possible and start the follow-up treatment." The two doctors said.

Seeing that Gu Nianyi didn't respond, the lady with glasses reminded, "Mr. Gu?"

"I don't think I'm suitable to be a policeman." Gu Nianyi murmured, "I'm timid, selfish, inaccurate in judging the incident, and hesitant. Because of these, I injured everyone and made the police A lot of manpower and material resources were wasted..."

He clenched his fists, pounded on the table, and made a sound: "This is my dereliction of duty, and I am willing to accept all punishments."

"Officer Gu, don't worry, don't take all the responsibility on yourself first." The counselor said, "I suggest you do this assessment first, if the result of the assessment is unsatisfactory, you may face rest." Or suspension, but this is not a bad thing, we will help you rebuild your confidence, your ability is possible, and the police force also needs talents like you in serious cases, so we will do our best to help you."

Gu Nianyi slowly let go of his hand, and smiled wryly, "...Really, thank you."
