Falling tonight

Chapter 16 Encounter again

When she woke up the next day, Zhao Rou felt like her whole body was falling apart and her legs were sore.

The bed beside him was cold, and it seemed that Mu Zhou had been gone for a long time.

Turning on the phone, a dozen missed calls from Tian Yingying popped up, and one was from Zhao Shijin.

Zhao Rou frowned and called back to Tian Yingying.

"Rou! I have made an important discovery!"

In the quiet morning, the voice on the phone was as sharp as a speaker. Zhao Rou held the phone away from her ears.

"I'm not here for an interview in City B. I just arrived at the hotel parking lot yesterday and I felt that there was a car next to me. It was very similar to the car you mentioned. It was silver grey. There was a red string on the right rearview mirror, and it looked It's been a while, why don't you come over and take a look to make sure?"

Zhao Rou's drowsiness was swept away.

She opened the quilt and noticed a bag on the bedside table. She opened it and found a new set of clothes, including underwear and underwear.

He took it out and put it on while saying, "Send me the exact location and I'll be there right away."

"Okay, I can't leave today for the interview. I can't meet you until after the afternoon."

Cutting off the phone call, Zhao Rou hurriedly walked out of the room.

As she passed the living room, she took a quick look around. Mu Zhou lived in a two-bedroom apartment with one living room. The living room was decorated like his office, mainly black, gray and white. Everything was simple and uncomplicated, and it looked empty.

I hurried downstairs to take a taxi. Since this community is relatively high-end, I waited for more than ten minutes before I got a taxi.

It was almost 12 noon when we arrived in City B, and the sun was scorching hot. Zhao Rou rushed to the hotel where Tian Yingying was staying without stopping.

Walking around in the underground parking lot, suddenly, a silver-gray van in the corner suddenly stimulated her nerves.

She walked over and took a closer look. The car's body was dilapidated, with more than half of the silver-gray paint peeling off, leaving the rusty brown exposed.The car was covered in dust and the tires were loose and flat.

The old transparent glass was covered with dust and other fallen objects, making it difficult to see what was inside the car.

The original dark blue license plate number has faded into light blue, but the license plate number is "BA15825", which is completely different from the license plate number in memory!
With trembling hands, she took out her phone and found several angles to take photos.

Then he called up a WeChat ID without any remarks and sent the photo: "Help me check why this car appears in the underground parking lot of the Financial Hotel."

After walking out of the parking lot and eating at a nearby restaurant, she went to the hospital where Tian Yingying was currently located.

On the way here, Tian Yingying briefly told her about the interview.

Yesterday, I was urgently sent to City B by the newspaper to cover a medical dispute case.

According to the patient's description, while he was hospitalized in a high-end private hospital in City B, the doctor removed his right kidney without his knowledge.

According to the evidence provided by the hospital, not only the patient and his family members signed the informed consent form, but also the surveillance video during the signing period was used as evidence.

With this evidence, the conclusion that the patient wanted to extort money from the hospital was almost certain.

But at this time, the patient threw out a calligraphy expert's opinion, which probably meant that the patient's signature handwriting on the informed consent form was different from his previous handwriting, and it was suspected that the hospital had forged the handwriting.

However, the actual video and evidence signed by family members are more credible and rigorous than the identification of calligraphy experts.

There are many reasons why the patient's handwriting is different, and fraud is only a very small possibility.

Everyone has made a clear judgment on this dispute.

The local arbitration institution has organized multiple mediations between the two parties, but has never produced a satisfactory result.

The patient was very dissatisfied with the hospital's attitude and contacted various media outlets to report the matter, hoping to use the power of public opinion to put pressure on the hospital.

The newspaper where Tian Yingying worked was approached by the patient to report the matter.

"Yingying, why is the patient so insistent that there is something wrong with the hospital? His family members don't seem to have spoken out about this matter." "Who knows, when I interviewed him this morning, I felt that he had a serious illness, do you know?"

Tian Yingying interviewed patients in the morning and made an appointment with hospital representatives for the afternoon.

During a break, they met in the hospital lobby.

"The man was in a trance. I asked him one question, and he answered another question. No wonder other newspapers said that this man had mental problems."

Zhao Rou was surprised: "Can I still undergo surgery if I have a mental problem?"

"Who knows, it's all speculation. I'm just complaining to you, and I definitely can't report it to the newspaper like this."

Tian Yingying stuck out her tongue, made a face with Zhao Rou, and changed the topic.

"Have you gone to see that car? Have you seen it before?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Rou's face darkened slightly: "Yes, I also know him who turned into ashes."

Tian Yingying was confused: "Why are the cars from more than ten years ago in City B? Did someone from City B do it?"

"I don't know, let Zhanbo go check it out."

"Huh?" Tian Yingying stared: "Do you still have contact with him?"

Before Zhao Rou could answer, Tian Yingying's cell phone rang. She picked up the phone and talked, telling Zhao Rou that the hospital representative would advance the interview time and she would go there now.

"Rou, just wait for me here. I'll come find you when it's over."

"it is good."

After Tian Yingying left, Zhao Rou took out her phone and looked through the pictures of the car one by one.

My thoughts can't help but drift to the past...

Just as he was lost in memories, a clear voice came: "Simon, what a coincidence, we meet here."

She didn't know when Bai Zhenghe stood in front of her, holding a bag of medicine in his hand and showing a smile as bright as the sun.

Different from the formal dress at the dinner that day, today he wore an ordinary white short T-shirt and blue jeans, casual and straightforward, like a young boy on campus.

"It's a coincidence, Bai Zhenghe, are you... sick?" She stood up and looked at the bag in his hand.

"No, my grandma is hospitalized. I came to see her." Bai Zhenghe turned the bag containing the medicine in a circle with his index finger and smiled.

"Why is Simon in City B? Are you also from City B?"

"No, I'm here with my friends to deal with some things today."

After all, it was Tian Yingying's job, and it was not convenient for Zhao Rou to talk to him.

"Is your injury healed?" Bai Zhenghe asked, "Last time we were separated, you said you wanted to treat me to dinner. I waited day and night, but I never got any news from my idol..."

After talking about it, he actually pursed his lips slightly, looking a little aggrieved.

Zhao Rou is so old, but she has never heard a boy say such sticky words to him, like coquettishness?Another misfortune?

She touched her nose and said awkwardly: "I've been busy these days and forgot about it. I'm sorry."

Then he asked tentatively: "How about choosing a different day? Are you free tonight?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhenghe narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay."

"I've been waiting for a long time."
