How to cough up blood

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the end of the year is approaching.

Just when he was about to go on vacation, the police station received a call from a police station in the southwest of Ouyuan District.This news will make the G City Public Security Bureau nervous again.

When Xi Jin and Ji Zhisheng arrived, the atmosphere in the bureau had already become solemn.As soon as Xiao Liu saw them, he immediately greeted them.

"Deputy Captain Xi, Professor Ji."

As Xiao Liu walked in quickly, he briefly explained the matter.

"The notification just now is urgent. I don't have time to go into details. Now I'm telling you two again. It's like this."

"This morning, we received a call from the Meicheng Police Station in the southwest of Ouyuan District, saying that they had received a strange package. It will be sent to the office."

Ji Zhisheng and the others went to the data room, and briefly looked at the materials temporarily sent by Meicheng.

"go on."

Xiao Liu took a look at Xi Jin, and said in a difficult tone, "Then they opened it, and there was a heart inside."

Before Ji Zhisheng had any reaction, Xi Jin's heart skipped a beat.

"...What did you say? Why didn't you make it clear when you came here?"

His eyes were heavy. In fact, people around Ji Zhisheng seldom mentioned anything about the heart on weekdays, especially when the police station encountered such a case, they also tacitly agreed that Ji Zhisheng would not participate.

If she knew that this incident was related to her heart, Xi Jin would never let Ji Zhisheng come here.

For the two cases of Rose Kiss and Rose Thorn, now T fled abroad, only one Loyal died, and the murderer will not be caught for a day, Xi Jin always has this matter in his heart.

He will never forget what T said to Ji Zhisheng before he left

Maybe, see you next year.

"It's okay." Ji Zhisheng looked calm, held him down, adjusted his glasses, "Xiao Liu, continue talking."

Xiao Liu looked a little annoyed, "Actually, I also know the rules. You shouldn't be involved in this matter, but the things that came by courier are really weird."

"The heart is a human heart. It has been cut open... with a tongue... the same as...the death method of the deceased in the previous rose thorn case."

Xiao Liu carefully looked at Ji Zhisheng's expression, and said in a low voice, "You said, did that T come back again?"

The air is a little quieter.

Xi Jin exhaled, held Ji Zhisheng's hand, and said in a low voice, "You go back first, and I'll take care of it."

As soon as the two held hands, Ji Zhisheng realized that his hand was cold, and couldn't help being taken aback.After a while, he shook his head and frowned slightly: "It's strange... I don't think it's what you think..."

He didn't have that feeling in his heart before. When he knew that the rose thorn was a replica rose, he had an intuition that it was T. This time... he didn't have that intuition.

"When will the express from Meicheng arrive?"

Xiao Liu looked at the time: "There is still about half an hour."

Ji Zhisheng looked at Xi Jin, "Wait a while, I don't think it's as serious as you think."

His tone was so firm that Xi Jin couldn't help it for a while, so he sighed, "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, I'll send you away right away."

"Ah."

Half an hour later, people from the police station hurriedly escorted a box covered with black cloth to the forensic doctor, and Ji Zhisheng and Xi Jin followed.

The black cloth was lifted, and there was a cube of glass inside. The heart was fixed in the center of the glass, and a piece was cut in the middle, where the tip of the tongue was placed.

On the inside of the glass, there is a beautiful rose painted.

Ji Zhisheng wanted to vomit reflexively, he suppressed the nausea that was churning in his stomach, his face was slightly pale, but nothing could be seen on his expression.

Ji Zhisheng: "...Have you opened it yet?"

Forensic: "The glass is specially made and requires special tools to open."

Xi Jin whispered: "Why don't you go out first, and I'll let you in after it's opened."

"No need," Ji Zhisheng said, "Let's drive."

The cutting instrument carefully cut the glass. After the heart was taken out, the forensic doctor quickly ran the test and got the result soon.

"This is indeed a human heart. It has been kept like this because it has been specially treated. But because of this, we are not sure when the owner of the heart died."

Ji Zhisheng: "Has the body of the deceased been found in Meicheng?"

Xiao Liu behind him shook his head, "I simply received this courier."

"No more information?"

"Nothing."

Ji Zhisheng looked thoughtfully at the heart placed on the dissecting table, his eyes fell on the tongue in the heart, and he pondered for a moment.

"What did you think of?" Xi Jin asked.

Ji Zhisheng shook his head, frowning, he was a little uncertain.When he was taken away, T told him two or three times that he didn't have much time, and when he left, he was shot in the stomach...

He walked in suddenly, asked for a pair of gloves, endured the feeling of vomiting and took a closer look at the heart, just as he stretched out his hand, Xi Jin held him down, Ji Zhisheng was taken aback.

With a cold face, Xi Jin pulled off his gloves and put them on by herself, "Want to see, tell me, I'll come."

Ji Zhi paused, and pointed to the center of the heart, where the tongue was stuffed: "Take this out with tweezers, and see if there is anything left in the tongue."

Xi Jin took out the tweezers and put them on a tray for the forensic doctor to handle.

He found a neat and sharp piece of silver metal from his tongue, which was very clean. The forensic doctor saw the words on it, and was surprised for a moment, then looked at Ji Zhisheng: "This..."

Ji Zhisheng: "Write something?"

He and Xi Jin looked at each other, walked over to have a look, and saw two lines of elegant and sharp words engraved on the metal piece

Kiss the rose, sleep with the rose.

Godalways loveshisbelievers.

"This is indeed T's handwriting." Ji Zhisheng looked at it for a moment, then said slowly.

Xi Jin: "What do you mean?"

Ji Zhisheng was a little dazed, and after a while, he exhaled, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Let's put this in the last case of Rose Thorn, together with Rose Kiss, and let it be dusted."

He turned around and left slowly: "I will give you the detailed report tomorrow, and this kind of thing should never happen in the future."

Xi Jin followed closely, leaving Xiao Liu and the forensic doctor looking at each other.

Walking out of the police station, there were no leaves on the trees outside, and the cold wind was blowing on the clean and tidy streets. Ji Zhisheng looked at it for a while, and someone hugged him gently behind him.

Xi Jin quietly buried her face in Ji Zhisheng's scarf, and after a while, said in a muffled voice, "Do you know whose heart it was just now?"

He had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Ji Zhisheng was silent for a moment, then hummed, "It's T's."

"That's T's heart."

Rose Thorn is a replica of Rose Kiss. ​​Before Rose Thorn, only six people had their hearts dug out. There is still one more person to complete the replica Rose.

And Meicheng is in the southwest of Ouyuan District, on the seventh skeleton node he marked.

T regards himself as the final node.The replica rose was perfectly completed, and the two blood-stained flowers that spanned two cities and were handed over to Ji Zhisheng for the first time in a year.

Xi Jin became quieter, but he wasn't thinking about T. His fingertips trembled slightly, and he clenched Ji Zhisheng's fingers, his voice tightened: "...Are you... empathizing again?" Otherwise, how could it be? Knowing that it was T's heart, and finding the metal piece in the tongue.

Ji Zhisheng smiled when he heard the words, "Who do you think I am? Empathy requires an absolutely quiet environment and emotional immersion."

"Well," Xi Jin paused, and hugged him tightly: "It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't..."

Ji Zhisheng patted the back of his hand soothingly, lowering his eyes slightly.

In fact, when he didn't see the metal piece at the beginning, when he only had this guess, he had sympathetic thoughts, but it was very rare...he hesitated.

Because Xi Jin is really hard to coax when she is angry.

"only……"

He may never forget this person, and Yan Yue has indeed carved a deep imprint in his life.

The damage and traces caused may remain forever. He cannot easily use his talent of fully empathizing with others. He will feel sick when he sees internal organs and meat, and he cannot even see blood when he is emotional...

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, Ji Zhisheng himself knows that there are too many dark tentacles in his heart induced by Yan Yue, which may become the next monster.

Xi Jin sighed almost imperceptibly, turned Ji Zhisheng around, took his hand, and pressed a kiss on the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Snowflakes slowly fell from the gray sky, falling on Ji Zhisheng's eyelashes and scarf, his eyelashes trembled slightly.Light snowflakes fell to the ground, melting sporadically a little or two.

They both wore a simple men's ring on their left ring fingers.

Xi Jin's voice was as light and gentle as falling snowflakes.

"I know, but I will always be with you from now on."

My Mr. Ji.

The snow has been falling for two days, and it just stopped the day before the Chinese New Year.

The joy of the New Year is overflowing in the streets and alleys. Occasionally, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks can be heard. Colorful rainbow lights and red lanterns are hung on the surrounding tree branches.

Whether Xi Jin's family is in City G or not, when Ji Zhisheng followed him to Province H, he was not used to it at first.Xi Jin's family was too warm to him, especially Xi's mother, who stewed different soups for him every day, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable somewhere.

Ji Zhisheng gradually adapted well, and even started chatting with the cook. After staying here for a week, he weighed himself and found that he had gained two catties.He pursed his lips and stared at the scale for a long time.

Xi Jin woke up and saw no one, and after searching for a while, he saw Ji Zhisheng standing there for some time, so he took him off the scale, rubbed him lazily, and said in a hoarse voice, "Professor Ji, you woke up so early? "

Ji Zhisheng pushed him away, and frowned: "I'm at your house, do I eat a little too much?"

He pointed to the scale and gestured, "It's two catties heavier."

Xi Jin was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Ji Zhisheng: "..."

"You don't even know how heavy the two catties are. My mother said that when she first saw you, she didn't dare to touch you when she first saw you lying on the hospital bed, for fear that you might accidentally break it."

Ji Zhisheng was slightly taken aback: "...Auntie went to the hospital to see me at that time?"

Xi Jin hugged Ji Zhisheng back to the bed, hummed, and began to tease Ji Zhisheng dishonestly, "Yes, I've seen them all."

"...Xi Jin," Ji Zhisheng said helplessly, his breathing was a little messy, "it's daytime now."

"What happened during the day?"

Xi Jin was upright, he didn't know where he touched it, he stamped his fingers, and said seriously: "Do you want to take medicine, it seems a little swollen."

Ji Zhisheng endured it, "...No."

Xi Jin was surprised: "Professor Ji, have you read it yourself?"

"..."

Xi Jin said: "No, I want to see it too."

After finishing speaking, he directly turned Ji Zhisheng over, and his actions were even more excessive.

Ji Zhisheng has really seen Xi Jin's nature these days, he couldn't bear it anymore, kicked him off the bed, and said coldly: "If you keep messing around, you can go sleep with Ah Ruan."

The muscles on Xi Jin's body were so tense that it was painful, Ji Zhisheng only kicked her.

Unexpectedly, Xi Jin got up from the ground, resting her chin on Ji Zhisheng's vivid expression of frowning, the soft smile in her eyes almost overflowed, warm.

He just wanted to watch Ji Zhisheng's body get more and more pyrotechnic, and it's nothing to be kicked occasionally, it's a couple's interest.

So he leaned forward with a smile again, took a look at Ji Zhisheng's gentle side face, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ji is so pretty."

Everything looks good, I can’t get enough of it, I like everything.

When the two of them finished messing around, the day passed while eating and chatting. When Ji Zhisheng was processing the documents, he suddenly heard the sound of banging firecrackers and fireworks outside.

Xi Jin rushed in excitedly, pulled him and ran outside.

Ji Zhisheng had no choice but to follow him: "Where are you going?"

The two of them ran out of Xi's villa, and now they are celebrating the New Year at home. There was no one outside. They ran straight to the Tianquan Square in the center, and there was fresh snow all the way, leaving their footprints.

The night is surrounded by bright fireworks.

After finally stopping, Ji Zhisheng discovered a series of fireworks gift boxes piled up on Tianquan Square.

"This is……?"

Xi Jin turned her head with a smile, and squeezed his hand tightly, "Do you remember what you promised me?"

His eyes are pure black, like obsidian, not clear or bright, but filled with the deepest tenderness, revealing a light of hope.

After a long time, Ji Zhisheng rolled his eyes, "Remember, during the Chinese New Year, I will go home with you to watch the fireworks."

"No," Xi Jin emphasized, "It's the fireworks I set off, you can only watch me set off."

Ji Zhisheng just laughed, and said without hesitation: "Okay, just see what you let go."

He pushed the seat Jin: "Go, I'll watch."

Hearing this, Xi Jin kissed him, ran over in two or three steps, and lit the fuse while protecting the lighter.

Then he turned around and ran back, covering Ji Zhisheng's ears from behind, "I'll watch it later!"

Ji Zhisheng: "Don't you cover your ears?"

He was about to turn around, but he had already raised his hand, but was quickly knocked off by Xi Jin, "Short people have no right to speak."

Ji Zhisheng: "..."

Obviously only a few centimeters away.

He squinted his eyes and decided not to argue with Xi Jin, so he enjoyed Xi Jin's ear covering service with peace of mind.

When the fuse came to an end, the fireworks gift box stopped for a few seconds, and a cluster of sparks shot out, making a loud noise, and exploded into brilliant fireworks in the sky.

boom.boom.boom……

This is the first time Ji Zhisheng has had someone accompany him to celebrate the New Year since he was six years old...

He finally had someone to accompany him during the New Year.

Fireworks exploded one after another, and the snow scene in the world was reflected in the night. It should be the bleak and cold snow, but it turned into the softest color, silently filling the empty heart.

At this moment, Xi Jin quietly let go of one of his ears, and leaned closer, "Mr. Ji, there is something I haven't said to you."

In the smell of fireworks and falling snow, he said: "I love you."

Xi Jin's voice was not loud, and if he didn't listen carefully, he would not be able to hear it. It seemed that he didn't intend to ask Ji Zhisheng to hear it.

After finishing speaking, he covered Ji Zhisheng's ears again, and the smile in his eyes did not diminish.He stood behind Ji Zhisheng, his tall figure was like a calm city.

Ji Zhisheng kept looking at the night sky, the faint smile on his lips remained unchanged.

It seems that he didn't hear Xi Jin's words.

It's just that a pair of clear brown eyes flashed a gleam of water indistinctly.

He silently leaned back a little bit, feeling Xi Jin's lively and warm heartbeat.

Among the two of them, Xi Jin took care of him everywhere, watched and protected him, he was always the one who was favored.This person can be a little annoying at times, nagging and controlling.It's hard to coax him when he's angry, and he often tosses him at night.

Except for the occasional playfulness, Ji Zhisheng doesn't like to express his emotions, he always teases casually, and then keeps deep or shallow emotions in his heart.

His fingertips gently hooked the corner of Xi Jin's clothes, a bit reluctant to let go.

Waiting for the fireworks to end and the surroundings were quiet, Ji Zhisheng turned around with his eyebrows curved.

"Mr. Xi, coincidentally, me too."
