No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 105 Why are you here?

An Youlin felt a roar in his ears and a pain in his forehead that seemed to explode. He opened his eyes and found that his eyes were blurred.Explosions, excited shouts, and painful groans came from far and near. An Youlin knelt on his knees and lay on the floor with his head in his hands.

"what-"

An Youlin yelled, he curled up on the floor in pain, everything in front of him blurred first and then spun.An Youlin tried to get up several times but failed, and finally he lay on his back on the ground panting heavily, letting the cold sweat soak his body... An Youlin felt his body warm up, his dizziness gradually disappeared, and a vision appeared in front of his eyes. white light.He came to a wide white hall. There were several tall windows on the wall directly in front of the hall, and the sunlight outside the windows was dazzlingly white.

There was only a set of tables and chairs in the middle of the hall, and a man in a white short-sleeved shirt was sitting on the chair and writing on the table with his back facing An Youlin.An Youlin recognized the man, and it was his teacher, Professor Chang Xin.

"It's true that she doesn't know you yet, and I don't deny that."

Professor Chang Xin did not stop writing, let alone get up from the chair. "Teacher, I can never erase the memory of the case back then."

"Why did you erase that memory?" Professor Chang Xin leaned on the table and continued to write, "Otherwise why did you come back here after five years?"

"Teacher, but I don't want to become a frightened bird and link any case to the Viking Square case..."

"Youlin, I know that you were also a victim in the case back then. You lost too many people and things worth remembering. But, Youlin, you have to face everything that happened, Only then can you have a clear head to deal with new challenges.”

"Teacher, I can't do it. Every time I think that you have left me, I don't want to mention anything related to the case back then."

"Life and death are just the only way to a complete life for everyone. The dead are gone, and the living need to continue to overcome obstacles on the road of suffering. What you don't want to face is not the case back then, but the It's you, the pain that makes you lose the courage to face the past."

An Youlin lowered his head: "Teacher, the current case has left me at a loss. I have been wandering on the edge of clues, but I have never been able to get close."

"My child, your eyes are bound by the pain." Professor Chang Xin continued to write, "You have your talents and expertise, but in order to isolate the case of the year, you bound your thinking, as if any little more You have suppressed the thoughts that might lead to the Viking Plaza case. Why don't you try to open your eyes?"

As soon as Professor Chang Xin finished speaking, An Youlin heard a "buzzing" sound from nowhere, which echoed and reciprocated in the hall.

An Youlin didn't want to pay attention to the weird voice: "Teacher, you owe me an explanation about the Weijin Plaza case. The last clue you left is not enough for me..."

"Youlin, it's time for you to go back. You still have a lot of practical problems to solve. You have to shoulder the responsibilities you should bear. This is the meaning of your return here."

Zhuo Qingshan left An Youlin's house with tears in her eyes, allowing herself to be drenched in the rain.But the moment she got into the car, she felt very regretful again.She didn't regret dissuading An Youlin, she didn't regret exposing An Youlin's hidden thoughts that she didn't want to show to others, she just regretted that she shouldn't have confessed under the circumstances at that time.

Zhuo Qingshan touched her face, which was drenched in rain and tears, and her face was scorching hot.After taking a few deep breaths, she took out a tissue to wipe off the rain on her face and body, and checked the rearview mirror to make sure she didn't cry.

After Zhuo Qingshan confessed all her worries about An Youlin, she felt that the depression in her heart was relieved a lot.Luo Gang has already gone to investigate Yu Zhaodi's final identity. In order to ensure that she knows the latest investigation progress, she decided to return to the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

The rain in Xijing City was getting heavier and heavier. Zhuo Qingshan turned on the radio to listen to the traffic conditions.According to the announcer, more low-lying streets in the city were flooded by the rain, and there were even cases where adventurous drivers were about to start driving through low-lying tunnels and ended up trapped in their cars waiting for rescue.

Zhuo Qingshan wandered through several streets and finally arrived at the Criminal Investigation Team of the City Bureau.At this time, Xijing City has been plunged into darkness, and the dark clouds cover the sun like a night.Zhuo Qingshan took a few deep breaths, trying not to think about An Youlin as much as possible. She needed to focus all her energy on solving the case.

The office of the Criminal Investigation Brigade was empty, Zhuo Qingshan came to her desk, and she found two bouquets of flowers on the desk.One of them was a bouquet of delicate roses.She took out the card and saw that it was Yu Tao and his childish and nasty love conversations.Zhuo Qingshan threw the bouquet and the cards into the trash can.

The other bouquet of flowers was a little different from the ones sent in the past, a large bouquet of yellow lilies, more flowers than usual, and more delicate packaging.This large bouquet of yellow lilies needs no foil from other tiny flowers, and it shines golden in the office lights.

"You are such a happy woman!"

Xu Qingqing did not know when she came to Zhuo Qingshan's side. She looked at the roses thrown in the trash can and pouted.

"It's a pity to throw away such a beautiful flower. Why don't you let me put it in a vase?" Xu Qingqing joked, "That Yu Tao really has a heart, he is handsome, tall, and from a good family background. Give it to me? I'm also a policewoman, okay?"

Zhuo Qingshan gave Xu Qingqing a helpless look, and she pushed the big bouquet of yellow lilies to Xu Qingqing's side: "As long as you like, the guy who gave this bouquet will give it to you too!"

Xu Qingqing raised the bar and said, "I also want to snatch it from you, a little fresh meat, a mysterious person... These two bouquets of flowers were not easy to deliver, the lilies were sent by the florist who sent a car to go around a long way. As for the roses, they were sent by Xiao Xianrou himself. I heard that you were not in the team, and the disappointed expression on that tender little face is really heart-wrenching..."

Zhuo Qingshan didn't want to continue chatting with Xu Qingqing. If she wanted to get the latest progress of Luo Gang's investigation in the bureau, she could only get it from Chief Zhao Hongjun.So Zhuo Qingshan went to the director's office, she knocked on the door and walked in.

"Xiao Zhuo, it's really difficult for you to be a newcomer to participate in the secret investigation." Zhao Hongjun stood up and looked at Zhuo Qingshan and said, "Since Teacher An asked you to return to the team first, and there is no specific thing to do, how about you?" Go back and rest first. Your complexion is not very good."

Zhuo Qingshan originally wanted to decline Zhao Hongjun's kindness, but she couldn't tell Director Zhao what happened at An Youlin's house before, let alone tell about An Youlin's pain caused by drug injection paralysis, so she reluctantly agreed to go back and rest.

"I believe in Luo Gang's investigative ability, and I also believe in Teacher An's level of reasoning. The two of them are old acquaintances, and now the case has made a great breakthrough. I believe that the real culprit will be caught soon. Since we are conducting a secret investigation, we claim to have arrested him. When it comes to Yin Liang, the murderer, then it seems abnormal for you to rush around at such a time. Go back and rest, and treat it as a cover for a secret investigation..."

Zhuo Qingshan left the Criminal Investigation Brigade, and drove towards home in the rain.On the way, Zhuo Qingshan drove very slowly, and she recalled how she relaxed when she went to school.

snack?Pretty much, whenever she was in a bad mood while studying, Zhuo Qingshan would always buy a lot of snacks with other girls, and complain about her displeasure while eating.So Zhuo Qingshan decided to go back to the good traditions of the past, parked the car at the door of a small chain supermarket, and rushed into the supermarket in the rain against the darkness.

Ten minutes later, Zhuo Qingshan ran out of the supermarket with a large bag of snacks, and got into the car through the rainwater accumulated on the road.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Zhuo Qingshan regretted not staying in the supermarket for a while, anyway, it was really difficult for the car to move before the rain subsided.

Zhuo Qingshan opened the water-soaked plastic bag and took out a bottle of drink from it. She unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a few gulps, then opened a bag of potato chips and began to chew.I want this feeling, empty my brain, don't have to think about anything, just eat and drink.

While Zhuo Qingshan was enjoying the delicious food, the unlocked car door was suddenly pulled open, and a figure in a raincoat got into the car immediately and closed the door.Zhuo Qingshan was taken aback for a moment, but when she saw clearly the people getting into the car, she smiled and said, "It's raining so hard, why are you here?"
