Eye of Sin

Chapter 643 Similarity
Since the operation would not take too long to complete, Ning Shuyi decided to stay here and wait for the results.

Huo Yan called the team to confirm the situation, and Zhao Dabao explained the situation again on the phone.

First of all, Xu Li really doesn’t have any family.

According to records, he grew up in an orphanage and was adopted when he was six or seven years old. However, the good times did not last long. Less than three years later, he was sent back because his adoptive parents had a breakdown in their relationship and divorced, and neither of them wanted to live with a child who was not related to them by blood.

The orphanage was originally reluctant to accept a child who had been abandoned when he was almost ten years old. However, considering the condition of the adoptive parents at the time, they knew that if they did not accept him, Xu Li would not be properly raised. So they had to agree to negotiate the abandonment.

It was thought that it would be difficult for anyone to adopt a boy of this age. Unexpectedly, after Xu Li returned to the orphanage and stayed silent for two years, the god of luck favored this child who was already eleven years old and seemed particularly "old" in the orphanage.

When a couple was choosing an adoption partner, they originally planned to adopt a three or four-year-old child, but after meeting Xu Li, they changed their minds and adopted him.

Xu Li’s current name was given to him by his second adoptive parents.

However, the couple had an accident before they graduated from Xuli University. The adoptive father died on the spot in the accident, and the adoptive mother stayed in bed for more than a year before passing away.

After his adoptive parents passed away, their brothers and sisters came out to fight for the inheritance. Xu Li gave up the inheritance and also cut off contact with all relatives in the family.

This is also the reason why after the accident this time, he couldn't find any relatives who knew about his current situation and were willing to come and handle the various procedures and take care of him.

Secondly, Xu Li’s mobile phone was not found at the crime scene.

If Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan saw Xu Li holding a mobile phone and fiddling with it in the surveillance video, then it was obvious that the phone was taken away by the murderer.

The reason is simply that there is a record of the murderer's contact with Xu Li in the mobile phone, which is not difficult to guess.

Such information made Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan silent.

When Xu Li received the invitation from the bureau to give a lecture, he had some understanding of Huo Yan's situation. After that, he always showed a certain degree of attention to Huo Yan, which made Huo Yan very disgusted, and it could even be said that he felt resistance from the bottom of his heart.

At that time, Huo Yan felt that he was just like those psychological counselors he had met in the past, who could only persuade him this or that in theory and give him some persuasion without any real effect.

But looking back now, I realize that Xu Li’s original idea might not have been this way.

"If it wasn't for Grandpa Xing who found you and recognized you, then your experience and Xu Li's would be more or less similar..." Ning Shuyi looked at Huo Yan.

Huo Yan remained silent and did not respond.

After waiting for about forty minutes, the operation was over and Xu Li was transferred to the ICU ward for monitoring. Ning Shuyi and the others were finally able to communicate directly with his surgeon and ask about his condition.

The surgeon told them that Xu Li was seriously injured. The knife pierced his side abdomen and penetrated his side abdomen. Because the time interval between being discovered, reporting to the police, and being sent to the hospital was a bit too long, he lost too much blood and suffered a certain degree of exhaustion. At the same time, his luck seemed to be good. The sharp knife did not cause irreversible damage to the important organs in his abdominal cavity during the process of piercing his abdomen. After surgery and blood transfusion, he is basically stable now. As long as he can survive the critical period, there will be no serious problems.

As for how long it will take him to wake up, and whether the prolonged shock from excessive blood loss will cause damage to his brain and memory after he wakes up, the doctors are currently unable to give a definite explanation.

"What does this patient do for a living?" When Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan were about to thank the doctor and leave, the surgeon suddenly asked curiously.

Ning Shuyi was a little confused, but still answered: "He is a psychological counselor."

"Wow..." The surgeon looked surprised and exclaimed subconsciously.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Ning Shuyi felt that his reaction was a little strange.

The surgeon also realized his own gaffe, and quickly waved his hands, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else. It's just that when I was operating on him just now, I found a few healed scars on his left wrist, as if he had cut his wrist in the past, more than once.

So I asked him about his profession out of curiosity, and I didn’t expect that he was actually a psychological counselor… I don’t know if he had psychological barriers and emotional distress before becoming a psychological counselor, so he wanted to take this career path, or if he received too much negative energy from others as a psychological counselor, which overwhelmed him.”

Ning Shuyi smiled and didn't respond.

Originally, the two of them planned to leave one person here to wait for Xu Li to wake up, but the surgeon told them that there was no need to do so. There were special people taking care of him in the ICU and outsiders were not allowed to enter. When Xu Li could be transferred to the general ward, they would contact the police.

So after confirming the contact information, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan left the hospital and returned to the team.

Xu Li has been running a small "psychological healing room". It was originally located on the upper floor of the building that Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan had accidentally found, and later moved to another relatively quiet office building.

In the past year or so, he became an overnight celebrity because some of his words on how to relieve other people's troubles were posted online, so the focus of his work has gradually shifted to being a guest speaker and giving lectures everywhere.

Therefore, he hired a small assistant to help in the studio that he originally managed alone. The assistant was mainly responsible for helping him sort out a schedule and arranging a few clients who needed help to come in during his free time.

Now that the injured person has been confirmed to be Xu Li, the assistant in his studio was also invited to the Public Security Bureau to find out more about the situation.

Xu Li's assistant is a young girl who is still in the internship period of her undergraduate studies. She was very nervous when she was called to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation. The word "tense" was almost written on her forehead.

It wasn't until she saw Huo Yan and Ning Shuyi coming back from outside that the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hello, are you the assistant in Xu Li's studio?" Ning Shuyi went over to say hello to her.

The little girl nodded quickly, looked at Ning Shuyi, then looked at Huo Yan: "Sister, you two are such a good match! When you walked in from outside just now, you looked like a perfect couple!"
