How to cough up blood

Xi Jin took a deep breath, removed Ji Zhisheng from him, quickly put him in a hospital gown, and stuffed him under the quilt in twos and threes, a series of movements were done in one go.

It was obviously summer, Ji Zhisheng was wrapped up like a silkworm chrysalis, and Xi Jin forcibly suppressed his insignificant strength in his drowsiness.Seeing the quiet Ji Zhisheng, Xi Jin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly called the doctor in, and put Ji Zhisheng on an IV.

After everything was dealt with, Xi Jin walked out of the ward, looked at the man who had been waiting outside, "Are you Qin Yan, Ji Zhisheng's junior?"

Qin Yan recalled the scene he saw just now, coughed subtly, and said seriously, "Yes, who are you? I don't think I've seen you by my senior brother before."

"Brother, is he... all right?"

Xi Jin: "Acute stomach disease, the doctor has already dealt with it, and now I am sleeping and hanging on the water."

Qin Yan's expression was quite strange, and he could even be said to be a little angry, "Brother has a stomach problem, you still..."

And not long after he came out, this person came out too... so fast?The more Qin Yan thought about Yue Yelou, his face couldn't help but contort.

"..."

Xi Jin explained what happened just now with a headache, and in Qin Yan's half-believing eyes, said: "We really have nothing, my name is Xi Jin, and it's just a simple colleague relationship?"

Qin Yan: "Colleague?"

He doesn't remember any colleagues that senior brother has... Wait!

Qin Yan's expression was a little subtle, "Are you from the police station?"

Seeing Xi Jin nodding his head in acknowledgment, Qin Yan's heart sank slightly. It seemed that the senior brother had really accepted the case after talking to him that time, and it was still connected with Rose Kiss.

He couldn't help being a little anxious, "You... Senior brother, how many days has he been in the police station?"

Xi Jin: "It's been a few days."

Qin Yan frowned, and after a while, "Forget it, I'll go watch over senior brother, and I'll ask him when he wakes up." He looked at Xi Jin as if he didn't want to say more.

After saying that, he bypassed Xi Jin and entered the ward. Xi Jin felt a little upset, but couldn't find any other reason not to let him in. He pursed his lips and followed Qin Yan in.

Ji Zhisheng had a needle on the back of his hand, his brown mid-length hair was softly scattered on the pillow, breathing evenly, and fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Yan pulled a chair over, it seemed that he planned to stay here tonight, he said to Xi Jin: "Please trouble Mr. Xi tonight, leave it to me later, I will talk to senior brother tomorrow, thank you gone."

Xi Jin frowned, feeling more and more uncomfortable in her heart, "...As a colleague, I should stay here and take care of it."

Qin Yan looked at Ji Zhisheng's pale face, sighed inwardly, and squeezed the space between his eyebrows, "We won't be colleagues soon."

Xi Jin: "What do you mean?"

Hearing the coldness in Jin Jin's words, Qin Yan's voice sank, and he tilted his head and said, "I will persuade my brother to leave the police station and no longer participate in any cases. He shouldn't touch anything related to the case in the first place."

Xi Jin: "Why can't he? This is his own wish. Even if you are his junior, you can't make decisions for him without authorization?"

"You know" Qin Yan seemed to want to say something, his voice raised a little, but the rest of the words were quickly silenced, he paused, and regained his usual calmness, "It's nothing, let's talk about it after senior brother wakes up."

He will convince his brother.

After Qin Yan finished speaking, he stopped looking back at Xi Jin, and didn't hear any movement behind him for a long time.Just when he thought Xi Jin had already left, suddenly there was a soft voice from behind Xi Jin

"Is... is he not in a good state of mind?"

Qin Yan paused slightly.

Xi Jin stared at Qin Yan without blinking, not letting go of his slightest reaction.

This is the result of Xi Jin's observations and speculations during the past few days with Ji Zhisheng.He looks carefree, but he is actually very thoughtful and pays attention to many small details.

From the very first moment when he noticed something was wrong, it was the morning when he cooked noodles for Ji Zhisheng for the first time, he didn't see the slightest emotion fluctuation in Ji Zhisheng's eyes.

He thought it was depression at first, but then he gradually ruled out this answer. Patients with depression usually cry for no reason and remain depressed for one to two weeks, but Ji Zhisheng is obviously not like this, it is more like a time-limited one.

Later, on the night when Gong Zhiyi was captured, in the interrogation room, Ji Zhisheng induced the murderer to fill out the questionnaire.His demeanor and emotions seemed to be separated from his own personality and switched to another state.

There are also many subtle reactions.

Ji Zhisheng is full of mysteries.

A sharp look flashed in Xi Jin's eyes: "Your name is Senior Brother Ji Zhisheng, which means that you are majoring in the same or similar major, so try your best to stop it..."

It shows that Ji Zhisheng's mental state is problematic, and it has something to do with the case.

Qin Yan didn't expect him to be so perceptive. He looked at the senior brother who was still asleep, and pursed his lips and said, "This matter involves senior brother's personal privacy. I can't go into details. You can ask senior brother yourself when he wakes up, but I I will still persuade my brother to give up this case."

After hearing this, Xi Jin frowned even tighter. Did he not leave tonight? He sat on the folding bed next to him and kept watch all night.

It's night, in City C next door.

The weather here has been rainy recently, and the whole city has begun to become cloudy and rainy.

A black car parked in front of the Fanyun cemetery.

The co-pilot quickly got off a young man wearing a mask. He respectfully opened the rear door and opened an umbrella, "Sir."

The first one to step out of the car door was a leg wrapped under straight suit pants. The silver-gray suit was elegant and noble. He took the black umbrella and opened his thin lips lightly: "Loyal, give me the flowers."

The deep and mellow voice is like a cello at night.

Youth: "Yes, sir."

He handed over a bouquet of white forget-me-nots.

The man took the flowers, held a black umbrella in the rain and fog, and walked slowly into the cemetery: "Come on, follow me in."

They stopped beside a tomb where two people were buried together, and the only sound around them was the sound of falling rain.The man bent down and placed the flowers in his hand in front of the grave.

The white forget-me-not was soon soaked with rain, and it looked a little weak and tough against the night.

The man looked at it for a long time, then sighed, "Loyal, I miss him very much."

The young man did not answer, but listened quietly, as if he was used to the man talking to himself.

The man stood for a while, thanked the tomb, turned around with an umbrella and said, "Let's go."

The moment he turned around, perhaps the wind had picked up a bit, blowing off a petal of the rose in the pocket of the man's silver-gray suit jacket.

The dark red petals fluttered on the ground and were blown into the mud.

The second day, the hospital ward.

When Ji Zhisheng woke up, looking at the strange environment around him, he didn't react.The drip on the back of his hand has been pulled out, but the medical tape is still attached, he raised his hand to look, and belatedly realized that he is now in the hospital.

"..."

Why did he sleep in the hospital after a night of sleep?

He sat up slowly while holding his forehead, feeling a dull pain in his brain.

"woke up?"

Ji Zhisheng: "...um."

Xi Jin came in from the outside with some water on his face. He seemed to have washed his face. He took out a piece of paper to wipe his hands, helped Ji Zhisheng, and then pulled a chair to sit beside him.

The tone was casual: "Tell me, what did you do yesterday to make yourself look like that."

Ji Zhisheng hesitated for a moment: "It's nothing."

He just took two pills to control his emotions, and then he fell asleep, and there was no other impression, and he was here when he woke up.

He looked down at the hospital gown on his body, his expression changed subtly, and his fingers subconsciously touched his back: "The clothes on me...?"

Ji Zhisheng subconsciously looked around, and sure enough, he saw the pajamas he was wearing last night at the other end of the hospital bed.

"Oh," Xi Jin said, "You had acute stomach cramps yesterday, and you were sweating all over. I changed your clothes for you." He paused, looked at Ji Zhisheng's expression, and said in a leisurely tone, "Hey, last night I was It’s a big loss.”

Xi Jin said: "You were so enthusiastic last night, you held me between your legs and didn't let me go, and even asked me to rub the tattoo on your back..." He bullied himself closer and lowered his voice, "Professor Ji, don't you like me?" me."

"..."

Ji Zhisheng froze, and after a while, he relaxed his body. He couldn't see the slightest abnormality, pulled his clothes, squinted and said: "...I was very enthusiastic yesterday?"

Xi Jin nodded seriously.

Ji Zhisheng smiled, pointed at Xi Jin's Adam's apple, his voice was weak and hoarse: "That deputy team leader is not very good, if I was very enthusiastic last night, how can I get out of bed today?"

What Xi Jin said just now was actually to see Ji Zhisheng's reaction to the tattoo, he pursed his lips, and didn't move for a while, his dark eyes looked into Ji Zhisheng's light-colored fundus.

However, Ji Zhisheng could clearly see the red tips of his ears, he raised his eyebrows a little funny, the deputy team sometimes talked about driving, he didn't expect to be so shy like a young man.

Ji Zhisheng lowered his voice suddenly, and said lazily: "...Deputy Captain Xi rubbed the tattoo on my back last night, did I say anything I shouldn't have said?"

Xi Jin thought he was going to say something about tattoos, so she pricked up her ears without any trace, and at the same time pretended to be profound, and said slowly: "Of course I said it, it's rare that Professor Ji can remember it."

"What's so hard to guess?" Ji Zhisheng bent his eyes, leaned close to Xi Jin's ear, his tone was deliberately bewitching and lustful, provocative and seductive, "It's nothing more than... um..."

"...Deputy Captain Xi is great, very comfortable, kneading very well, just a little faster..." Ji Zhisheng said with a slightly narrow voice casually, "Am I right, Deputy Captain Xi?"

Xi Jin:! ! !

He bounced up like he was bitten, and quickly took a few steps back.

His ears were red to the point of bleeding, and Xi Jin, who could only drive with his mouth, was dazzled by Ji Zhisheng's words early in the morning. He didn't even dare to look into Ji Zhisheng's eyes, "You, you..."

A flash of surprise flashed in Ji Zhisheng's eyes, and he was immediately amused by his reaction.He was fascinated by what he heard and saw in the bar, and naturally these provocative words came out of his mouth, and the way he looked at Xi Jin at this time was like looking at a golden retriever with bared teeth.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yan came in with a packed breakfast, and looked at them suspiciously, "Brother, are you awake?"

Ji Zhisheng was surprised: "Qin Yan? When did you come back?"

Qin Yan glanced at Xi Jin, opened the small table on the hospital bed, and arranged the packed meals one by one. They were all light meals that nourished the stomach. He sighed and said, "I came back last night and saw that your house is full of people. It was smashed and I was so startled that I almost called the police."

The door was smashed?

Ji Zhisheng glanced at Xi Jin, and the latter said righteously: "Look, if I don't hit you, I will really give up, and at worst I will pretend to be another one for you."

Ji Zhisheng: "It's okay."

He ate a few mouthfuls and said to Qin Yan, "Didn't you see Teacher?"

Qin Yan shook his head: "The teacher said that he is still in the nursing home. I haven't seen him, and I didn't see him last time. I came back after I finished my work there."

"By the way, there is one more thing. Senior brother doesn't have much access to the Internet, and the teacher doesn't play. He recorded a video and asked me to send it to you, saying that if you encounter any difficulties, you can ask him for help."

Ji Zhisheng clicked on it, there was no one in the video, only a mechanically synthesized voice with an indistinguishable age, speaking in the language of country M, roughly meaning to blame Ji Zhisheng for not coming to see him this year or something.

Ji Zhisheng felt a little helpless, "I see."

Xi Jin: "Why is your teacher's voice...is the vocal cords damaged?"

Ji Zhisheng nodded: "We can't ask this directly, but the teacher's voice is indeed like this many years ago."

Qin Yan took back the phone: "Brother, can you stop looking down, I am very worried about you." He frowned, nagging outrageously.

Ji Zhisheng ate his food in one bite, did not speak to Qin Yan, and did not know if he listened to his words.

Xi Jin listened to Ji Zhisheng's movements with one ear pricked up, while absently swiping her phone, suddenly, the Bureau of Forestry sent a message on WeChat:

[Ask Professor Ji, can he send a copy of his recent psychiatric appraisal report and ask the police station to back it up, otherwise it will be difficult for him to participate in our next operation. 】

The Bureau of Forestry admired Ji Zhisheng very much, and no matter what, he wanted to recruit Ji Zhisheng into the police station.Compared with Bureau Lin's previous tone, Xi Jin could clearly feel Bureau Lin's entanglement from this passage.

His heart sank slightly.

Originally, he was just guessing about Ji Zhisheng's mental problems, but now the news from the Forestry Bureau undoubtedly confirmed his guess.

Xi Jin pursed her lips, remembering how he had just found Ji Zhisheng from a corner last night, her throat was inexplicably astringent... What kind of mental problem was it that made him shut himself up for a day?

Perhaps it was his suddenly quiet temperament, Ji Zhisheng looked over keenly, and paused: "Deputy Captain Xi, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Jin regained consciousness, turned off the phone, and looked at Ji Zhisheng with complicated eyes.

After a long time, he pursed his lips and said, "...the police sent a message that Professor Ji's recent psychiatric report is needed. If not, Professor Ji can no longer follow the police station."

After he finished speaking, Ji Zhisheng didn't respond. Qin Yan exploded first, and he sneered: "What is it, brother, there is no problem at all. What can the police station do? We..."

"Qin Yan." Ji Zhi called out to him.

He looked at Xi Jin, adjusted his glasses, and said in a low voice, "Send a copy of my last appraisal report to Deputy Team Xi."

Qin Yan became angry and found that Ji Zhisheng was determined to participate in this case: "Senior brother!"

Ji Zhisheng ignored him, but said to Xi Jin: "Qin Yan is my attending physician, if you need any other information, you can ask him for it."

Xi Jin squeezed the phone tightly, didn't say yes or no, but stared fixedly at Ji Zhisheng's calm and pale face, her heart was stabbed suddenly, giving birth to some strange emotions called heartache.

Ji Zhisheng only stayed in the hospital until the afternoon and was discharged. The matter of the psychiatric appraisal report was handed over to Qin Yan and the police station, and Xi Jin was fully responsible.

When he arrived at the police station and received the report from Qin Yan, and saw the words [emotional stability] on it, Xi Jin felt a little relieved, and kept these materials confidential and kept them in the archives room.

The person suspected of being the murderer behind the scenes sent a message to Ji Zhisheng saying that the next victim was in Ouyuan District, a person named Zhou Qing, but in the end it was found that there were eight people named Zhou Qing, both men and women.

Nearly two days have passed now, and there are still eight days before the time limit given by T. According to the police planning process, Ji Zhisheng and Xi Jin will leave for Ouyuan District the day after tomorrow, and take the eight people named Zhou Qing together. After an investigation, the target most likely to be targeted by the murderer is locked.

Xi Jin drove the car slowly in the direction of Tianxi Garden, he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were heavy, he finally parked the car aside, hesitated for a moment, and still made a call.

"Uncle Yuan, I'm Xi Jin," said something on the other side, Xi Jin smiled, "Yes, you eat well in City C, I want to ask you something, this matter is very important to me, if you can't Disclosure, you can give a reminder."

Asked something from the other side, Xi Jin clenched her hand on the steering wheel slightly, and said in a low voice, "I want to ask about Ji Zhisheng."

No one heard what was said in the car.

a long time.

Outside the window, the early autumn sunshine passed through the forest and fell on Xi Jin's car. He lowered the window, lit a cigarette and took a puff, his brows were deeply furrowed. A little information I revealed

"Hey, I can't go into details, but I suggested that Lao Lin ask Professor Ji for an appraisal report."

There was a pause during the dinner: "...why?"

The other end of the phone sighed, "Professor Ji was captured by the murderer when Rose Kissed the seventh case, and disappeared for seven days... Later we arrived and rescued him. The scene at that time..." Old Yuan Dun I don't know if I can't say it or I can't bear to say it.

"Something happened after I came back. Professor Ji was forcibly taken away by his younger brother. Soon, Professor Ji stopped taking cases..."

The sound of cicadas gradually stopped, and the green and yellow sycamore leaves fell on the side of the road. After taking the last puff of cigarette, Xi Jin suppressed all her emotions, raised the car window, and headed for Tianxi Garden.

Along the way, many fallen leaves were brought up, and the sudden wind blew the leaves into panic.
