How to cough up blood

On the second day, after Ji Zhisheng woke up, he realized that his whole body was in pain, especially the place where the blood had been rubbed away, and the pain was still spreading to the side.

That guy beats people really hard.

I just don't know if it's T's person.

Xi Jin bought breakfast and came back: "Are you awake?"

He couldn't see anything strange about last night's medicine, so he handed him Ji Zhisheng's early share, and while tearing apart the chopsticks, he said: "There is news from the police station that no one was caught last night, so he ran away."

Ji Zhisheng was not too surprised, nodded and took a sip of soy milk.

Xi Jin: "Is he from T?"

Ji Zhisheng: "I'm not sure, but T won't kill me easily."

Xi Jin paused: "...Why are you so sure that T will not kill you? He has killed so many people."

"No reason," Ji Zhisheng seemed reluctant to answer, he lowered his eyes, and asked instead, "When will you change the room and live by yourself?"

"Isn't it good for us to live together?" Xi Jin ate a little slowly, and said with a smile, "I think it's totally okay..."

Ji Zhisheng interrupted him, raised his eyes and said seriously: "Deputy Captain Xi, I feel very inconvenient."

Xi Jin froze, and reacted belatedly, Ji Zhisheng's attitude towards him changed a little today, as if he had returned to the way he was when we first met, full of a sense of indifference and alienation.

A bad premonition floated in his heart.

Ji Zhisheng adjusted his glasses: "Thank you for the help of Vice Captain Xi yesterday, but I still don't need it in the future, so as not to misunderstand."

In fact, last night he wanted to understand why Xi Jin treated him so differently.It is undeniable that he does not reject this feeling, but feels more and more comfortable with Xi Jin, and even a little envious of Xi Jin's healthy and happy childhood and family.

Xi Jin likes him.

In fact, it was more obvious last night. It is impossible for him to pretend not to know such a fast heartbeat and those words.

But he can't accept this feeling.

Xi Jin's heart suddenly felt cold, and after a while, he said silently: "It's just a medicine, there is nothing to misunderstand, besides, no one saw it..."

"Deputy Captain Xi," Ji Zhisheng raised his head helplessly, his eyes under the lens were so calm and ruthless, "I major in psychology."

He said, "I know exactly what you were thinking last night."

Xi Jin choked for breath.

Ji Zhisheng got up: "So, Vice Captain Xi, you should go to another room."

He went to the bathroom to wash up, leaving Xi Jin a separate space to avoid embarrassment.

The bathroom was empty for a long time.

There was only the sound of a door closing outside.

Xi Jin left.

Ji Zhisheng lowered his eyes, turned on the tap, washed his face, then looked up at himself.

The person in the mirror is wearing exquisite clothes and a human skin that is considered beautiful in human aesthetics, but in fact, only he knows what is inside.

Ji Zhisheng looked down at the circle of bruises on his left wrist. Even with the control of drugs, he still couldn't control himself sometimes.Especially when thinking about problems.

People who can't control themselves...are they really complete individuals?

If someone is really with him, it will be very tiring.Like Qin Yan all day long, even more worried about his state than Qin Yan, asking him about his condition all day long

Have you taken your medicine?

Is there anything unusual?

Are you mentally stable?

not comfortable?

……

He was as careful as a piece of porcelain, and every word reminded him of what happened a year ago and what he experienced again.

In fact, Ji Zhisheng does not deny that he has a crush on Xi Jin, but he has never liked anyone, so he doesn't know how to tell the difference.

When he was six or seven years old, his parents passed away, and the relatives around him gradually revealed their greedy nature.Later when he grew up, Ji Zhisheng was a widow for so many years.

If you just accept it hastily... When Xi Jin knows what Rose Kiss ended and what T did when he took him away, the meager and fragile emotion of 'like' will dissipate like a bubble.

Ji Zhisheng took out his mobile phone, was silent for a moment, and opened a confidential file in the mobile phone, which contained seven long video recordings.

A year ago, T recorded the seven days when he was taken away, seven copies in seven days, and one copy was never lost.

His eyes fell on the last video, Ji Zhisheng's fingers gripping the edge of the washbasin slowly tightened, his stomach gradually churned, he leaned beside him suddenly, turned on the faucet almost embarrassedly, and covered the overflowing throat with the sound of water flow Retching.

After a long time, he came out with a normal expression.

Only his belongings were left in the room, and Xi Jin had already packed up all his bags and took them away.

Ji Zhisheng squeezed the phone tightly, and suddenly felt that the room was a little too quiet for him.

the other side.

Xi Jin took his bag and went to the front desk to book a room with a big bed. After entering the room, he suddenly covered his face. He threw the backpack on the bed, and then he jumped on it, and the bed made a thud.

He remembered what Ji Zhisheng said to him just now, "I major in psychology, I know exactly what you were thinking last night."

Help.

Vice Captain Xi was extremely ashamed and angry, the tip of his ear protruding from his hair was red and hot, his whole body seemed to be on fire.

...He thought a little too much last night.

What police officers and criminals, what handcuffs, what messy buildings... Countless worldly colors he has seen in the 27 years he has been single floated in his mind, as well as various toys that he found in some hotel bars with the brothers of the anti-pornography brigade.

That.what.many.

Can Ji Zhisheng notice it?Is criminal psychology so good?

So... what he wanted to do to Ji Zhisheng, could it be considered a crime, so he was discovered? !

"..."

Just thinking about Xi Jin felt like she was about to suffocate.

He could barely hold himself together in Ji Zhisheng's room just now, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he doesn't know how to face Ji Zhisheng.

But... even though he knew it was this kind of thing, Ji Zhisheng still didn't point it out completely, and he didn't even look disgusted, and went into the bathroom thoughtfully to avoid his embarrassment.

Is it?

Xi Jin turned over and couldn't help thinking, could it be that Ji Zhisheng also has that kind of interest in him?

After a while, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right, so the boss grinned, covered his face with his hands, and even laughed out loud, like a big fool.

In the next few days, Ji Zhisheng and Xi Jin acted separately, and even Xiao Liu noticed the delicate atmosphere between them.

However, the only difference is that Xiao Liu thinks that Vice-Captain Xi's body is a brilliant sunny day, while Professor Ji's body is the late autumn when the winter is approaching.

When he was caught between the two of them, he felt... weird.

But anyway, with the passage of time, today is the eighth day, and there are still two days left before the time given by T.

The police station has already negotiated with the eight Zhou Qings to let them all go to the police station tomorrow and leave at the end of the tenth day.

There are too many targets, if they are left alone, there is no absolute police force to guarantee the safety of the eight of them, not to mention the unknown situation, so it is the best choice to protect them all together.

Especially the three people identified by Ji Zhisheng as key protection targets.

Ji Zhisheng still felt very strange in his heart, unexplainably strange.It seemed that something was ignored by him, but he pushed his idea many times again, but still didn't find any loopholes.

"Professor Ji, the deputy team asked me what do you want to eat tonight?" Xiao Liu quietly came over and asked, "Did you have a fight? Because of disagreement?"

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sleeping together before, and they would have become so silent in a few days.

Ji Zhisheng returned to his senses, glanced at Xi Jin who was standing at the entrance of the hotel, and said to Xiao Liu: "No need, I'm not very hungry."

"By the way," Ji Zhisheng helped the frame of the mirror, and asked in a low voice, "I'm not familiar with the surrounding area, do you know any shop that sells pen knives?"

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment: "Pen knife?"

"Yes, it's the kind of knife that engraves rubber stamps."

Xiao Liu didn't react for a while, "What do you want that thing for?"

Ji Zhisheng: "... useful."

Xiao Liu thought for a while, "I don't know much about this thing, but you can go to the nearby department stores and some boutique shops, and you should be able to buy them there."

"okay, I get it."

Ji Zhisheng browsed the surrounding shops, and finally found the penknife he wanted in another street. He heaved a sigh of relief, "Boss, buy this."

The boss glanced at it: "Well, the tip of the pen knife is very easy to break, maybe you will break the tip of the knife if you drop it, handsome guy, buy another box of blades?"

Ji Zhisheng: "No, it won't be used a few times."

The boss didn't say any more, Ji Zhisheng paid the money, and when he returned to the door of the hotel, he found that Xi Jin was still waiting at the door, he paused, pretending he didn't see it, and walked away.

Xi Jin: "Wait."

Ji Zhisheng paused: "Is there something wrong with Deputy Xi?"

Xi Jin rubbed her nose: "...It's nothing, but you really don't eat at night?"

"Well, I ate a bit too much in the morning."

Shit, how much is there?

Xi Jin thought to himself, it was almost one-third of his appetite, maybe Ah Ruan's cat ate more than Ji Zhisheng.

Ji Zhisheng looked sideways: "Is there anything else?"

Xi Jin shook his head, so Ji Zhisheng didn't stay for half a minute, turned around and left, "I'll go to bed early today, if there is any news about the case, just send it to Deputy Xi via WeChat, I'll wake up and watch."

Xi Jin looked at his back for a long while before letting out a muffled oh.

Ji Zhisheng returned to his room, inserted the room card, the lights came on suddenly, he closed them all, and the door was completely locked.

The outside light shines through the window into the dark room. Ji Zhisheng sat on the edge of the bed and watched the intertwined lines on the whiteboard that he had deduced countless times. After a while, he took out the pen knife in his pocket.

On the other side, Xi Jin and the others in the police station came back very late after dinner. He and Xiao Liu lived not far away, and they were on the same floor as Ji Zhisheng, so they came up together.

Xi Jin keeps nagging about Ji Zhisheng not eating, like a worried old father.

Xiao Liu was talking to him, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, Professor Ji asked me where to buy a pen knife this evening, and what kind of rubber stamp is it? After coming out, Professor Ji is quite versatile.”

He searched and found that engraving rubber stamps is a delicate job.

After hearing this, Xi Jin's expression changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "You said he bought a knife?!"

He remembered the message Qin Yan sent him before:

[…Try not to leave him alone, especially at night. ]

[Do not keep any knives in the room...]

Xiao Liu was stunned: "That's right, it's that kind of pen knife, what's the matter! Vice team!!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the moment the elevator door opened, Xi Jin rushed out with a panicked expression, and went straight to Ji Zhisheng's room at the end of the corridor.
