Detective Files II

Chapter 249 Rejected
His words made Tian Mi's forehead involuntarily seep a layer of cold sweat.

Qi Bing obviously lied about this too!Although it is only her brother's statement now, and she has not gone to the mental hospital for further verification, but judging from her previous performance, Tian Mi is more inclined to her family's statement. After all, having a depressive mental patient in the family is enough to cause headaches. It is really impossible to find any reason for her family to rumor that her own sister is manic.

When handing Qi Bing over to her younger brother, she seemed to be quite calm, with a stiff expression on her face, supported by her younger brother, and slowly walked out of the office of the serious crime team. Before leaving, Qi Bing's younger brother kept stopping Qi Bing didn't respond, and was even a little impatient, signaling him to leave quickly and stop wasting time.

Qi Bing, a figure like a time bomb, was finally taken away by his family, which made Mo Dou and Tian Yang greatly relieved, but Tian Mi did not. She felt that although Qi Bing was gone, he left more questions.

Is her current mental state normal or abnormal?

Why does she act very neurotic at times and abnormally rational at other times?
Why did she deliberately conceal her type of mental illness?Is it simply that you don't want others to be afraid of you, or is there another reason?

She never mentioned Wu Zhida's indifference, alienation or even hostility towards her biological mother. Is it out of forgiveness for the child, or is it because of other reasons that she just doesn't want people to know?
She insisted that Gui Xiuqin was the third party that caused the breakdown of her marriage. Is this the truth, or is it her own subjective assumption?Is this incident related to her going back and trying to get back together with Wu Liang?

For her persistence, what kind of attitude does Wu Liang have?

Last night she said that she was watching TV alone at home, and she also told the plot of the TV series. Is such proof really tenable?
This series of questions seemed to form a circle, revolving around Tian Mi's head.

Questions must be answered, but not now. Before getting the autopsy report, they can't do more than make notes to the relevant personnel.

As for the autopsy report, Tian Yang gave her an answer - forensic doctor Zhao said that it is impossible to have a result tonight, and it will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.

When Qi Bing left the serious crime team, it was already far past the off-duty time. Since the autopsy report cannot be waited for, there is no point in continuing to waste time. After discussing with each other, they decided to go home from get off work, take a good rest, and recharge their batteries.

After Tian Mi returned home, her brain was always running at high speed, and the questions Qi Bing left her felt very troubled.

As a woman too, Tian Mi asked herself, when a woman was severely hurt by her beloved husband, her whole life was turned upside down, and she finally struggled to get back on the right track, only to find the life she hoped for in the past , has almost become a luxury, her husband remarried after divorcing him, and his life was full of life, his own son ignored his biological mother, alienated and indifferent, and he, the original "protagonist", had become a passerby, so he could only Watching from a distance, the child who belonged to him, the husband who belonged to him, and another woman became a family of three, a whole.

Under such circumstances, could she really want to get back together with the other party with such persistent love?

She has never been in a relationship, let alone married, she has no experience at all, and she can't even put herself in that position to imagine.

But she can use similar experiences of others to apply.

For example, Lu Xiangdong.

Isn't it the same for Lu Xiangdong, his father's sudden death was a blow to him, and then his mother hurriedly left him to remarry, which made his situation even worse, because of his mother's behavior, his life became turbulent, what should have been Some stability and warmth no longer exist and can only be hoped for.

Finally, when he was in college, he asked his mother for help with hope, but his mother promised to pay him the tuition, but it was to buy out the family relationship.

It was also the fact that my previous life was overturned by my most beloved family member, which made my life track deviate from the original direction.

Then, after Lu Xiangdong finally overcame many difficulties, obtained academic achievements, started a career, and settled down, did he try his best to please his mother, hoping that she would become as close as he was when he was a child again?

If he really did this, Mother Lu would probably wake up laughing from her sleep!

It's a pity that he didn't do that, or that normal people wouldn't do that.

After experiencing so many injuries, it is already very good to be able to suppress negative emotions and not retaliate. What Lu Xiangdong can do, ordinary people may not be able to do.

Could it be that Qi Bing's awareness is higher than that of Lu Xiangdong?Better mental quality than Lu Xiangdong?
Tian Mi was skeptical about this question.

Thinking of this, Tian Mi sat up irritably from the bed. Since eating, she locked herself in the room and tossed and turned on the bed. Her mind was full of these doubts, and she felt faintly that there was something else in her heart. Just thought of it Lu Xiangdong, she suddenly realized that besides the case, what was bothering her.

it's him!
It has to be admitted that lacking the courage to implement it is one thing, but Mo Dou's words in the morning have successfully moved his mind, which is another.

Not daring to do doesn’t mean not daring to think. Once an idea arises, the desire to put it into practice will bite each other with self-esteem, making people upset.

Finally, after struggling over and over for a long time, curiosity about Lu Xiangdong's thoughts overcame his shyness.

I just want to test it out, and I don't really intend to chase after it!Tian Mi comforted herself like this in her heart.

When things are decided, she always likes to go all out in one go. Before the heat of courage subsided, Tian Mi quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed Lu Xiangdong's number.

Hurry up and hang up the phone before I get nervous!
Don't answer!Don't answer it yet!Give me a little more time to hesitate!
Every time the phone rang, Tian Mi couldn't help but feel contradictory in her heart, hoping that he would answer it quickly, but also a little scared.

Beep—, beep—, beep—, beep—.

She has never tried it before, and she will be so heartbroken on the phone.Every sound was like a small hammer hitting her heart, making her heart beat violently, and every sound seemed so long, as long as a century.

Finally, just when Tian Mi was about to exhaust all her courage to hang up the phone, Lu Xiangdong finally answered.

His voice sounded sober and steady, neither as if he had just woken up after falling asleep, nor did he seem to be delayed by something, so he didn't answer the phone for a long time.

Tian Mi had an intuitive guess in his heart for a moment. He was actually in front of the phone all the time, but he just watched his phone number flashing on the phone and just didn't want to answer it.

This momentary thought made Tian Mi feel a little queasy, and then she told herself, don't think about it, maybe the phone is on silent, so I can't tell if I didn't see it before!

"Hey, what's the matter?" Lu Xiangdong's voice sounded very flat, so flat that it almost made people feel a little alienated.

Tian Mi pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, are you okay?"

It's like this again, as if he would be accused of wasting his precious time if he said it was nothing!Tian Mi gritted her teeth secretly.

"I have nothing to do, so I want to ask if you are free to go out for a while."

"It's getting late, forget it. It's the same if you say something on the phone."

Could this be the legendary death before leaving school?Tian Mi was a little dumb as she stared at the phone. She had just mustered up a little courage, and she hadn't even tried to chase after her. She just wanted to send out an invitation, but was rejected directly. This almost dissipated her little courage. Exhausted.

It's just that since the call has already been made, it's not good to hang up like this, and thanks to the fact that we can't see each other through the phone, Tian Mi can bite the bullet and continue talking instead of running away: "Actually, it's nothing too important The only thing I want to do is to be annoyed by the case and want to chat casually."

"Chat? Are you sure you've found the right person? I don't think I'm a good chatter."

"Casual chatting has no technical content, do you want to be so perfunctory?"

Tian Mi was finally a little unhappy. Although she knew that she liked Lu Xiangdong, considering her personality, there was absolutely no such thing as a situation in which she could love someone so much that she could lose herself and her self-esteem just because she loved someone. Even for this man No matter how much he likes him, if he blindly hurts himself over and over again without giving any encouragement or response, then the final result will be that she, Tian Mi, will give up and never look back.

Lu Xiangdong seemed to hear her anger, and made a concession on the other end of the phone: "Then what do you want to talk about?"

What she said before made Tian Mi think that the phone call might break up badly, but she didn't expect that Lu Xiangdong didn't make trouble like usual, which made her hesitate and twitch.

"Actually, I want to talk to you about the case!" She made an excuse for herself. After the invitation to the other party was rejected, she really couldn't relax and chat for a while, so she simply asked "Qi Bing's performance today makes me feel very weird. Her younger brother said she was a manic psychopath, but she said she was depressed. Why did she lie? Also, if she is now in a stable state after being cured , why did she suddenly go berserk and hurt people today? If she is still in the illness, why can she say such logical things?"

"How's the injury on your face? Did you take care of it when you got home?" Lu Xiangdong answered irrelevantly.

Tian Mi subconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek, and when she came home with such scars at night, she and Tian Yang were not less scolded by Tian's mother, scolding her for not paying attention, scolding Tian Yang for not protecting her sister well, nagging is nagging, Tian After my mother helped to treat the wound, the swelling has disappeared a lot now, but I still feel a little tender when I touch it.

"It's nothing else." She didn't want to appear too delicate, so she said it casually.

"What is the nature of Qi Bing's condition and what state is he in now? No one can say for sure without the medical record certificate from the hospital and expert appraisal. Anyone who says may be a lie. Some mentally ill patients, During the onset, they will show amazing talents, some even talk like philosophers, and people who are not mentally ill or mentally ill in a calm period may also react violently to external stimuli, which does not explain much. .Instead of thinking wildly, it’s better to wait until I get the evidence. I don’t want to discuss other things. I’m very tired today, so I don’t plan to think about them during the break.” Lu Xiangdong was obviously not interested in the topic Tian Mi brought up.

"Then let's chat about something else, let's explain first, just casual chat, don't think too much about it." After hearing Lu Xiangdong's words, Tian Mi felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but this kind of embarrassment disappeared in a flash. It really bothered her, but she just took it out just for show, not her real purpose of calling, so she quickly changed the subject, her words sounded like there is no silver 300 taels here, but she didn't notice it at all.

"Got it, tell me." Lu Xiangdong replied patiently.

"Then, what kind of woman do you like?" Tian Mi summoned up her courage and asked.

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

A rhetorical question made Tian Mi's remaining words choke in her throat, making her unable to speak out.

"Why do you ask that suddenly?" Lu Xiangdong asked.

"No reason, just chatting casually, didn't I say everything before!" Tian Mi felt that her cheeks were hot, and she didn't know if it was her phone or her own face.

"Okay, since we're chatting, then tell me, what kind of man do you like?" Unknowingly, the initiative to ask questions fell into Lu Xiangdong's hands.

This time Tian Mi followed suit: "Is it related to you?"

"It's okay." Lu Xiangdong replied.

I didn't expect him to answer so simply, this answer made Tian Mi's heart ache a little.

"If, I mean just a hypothetical, if a nice girl likes you and wants to chase you back, will you accept her pursuit?" Tian Mi put all the remaining courage into this question. .

"I thought Wang Chun's example was obvious."

"Not about her, but about other people."

"No exception." Lu Xiangdong replied firmly.

"Then... what if, one day, my nerves go wrong and I want to chase after you? What will happen to you?"

"reject."

There was no hesitation in Lu Xiangdong's words, he was very firm, and he didn't even need to spend time thinking about it, which made Tian Mi's heart feel cold, and a lot of grievances spontaneously arose.

"I won't talk to you anymore! You are so boring!" She hung up the phone hastily, unable to continue chatting as if nothing had happened.

Lu Xiangdong on the other end of the phone listened to the busy tone coming from the receiver, the corner of his mouth moved a little, and he quickly dialed another number: "Hi, it's me. I remember you said I was an accomplice, and you still want to take revenge, right? Now I can give you a chance."
