Chapter 76 [Grandma's article updated]
I don't know if it's because Liang Zhi stays at home and has someone to protect him, so there hasn't been any danger in the past week.
Shen Quan would even say hello to the police officers in charge of protection when he went shopping, and he got to know him well.
He learned from the two police officers that the behind-the-scenes of Lily is still committing crimes, and there have been two murder cases recently.
Shen Hu and Shen Guangming, who were originally in charge of this case, resigned and the other asked for leave, which made the originally unsuccessful case even more difficult to solve.
"Many people in the police station began to question Gu Beizhao's testimony." One of the police officers took a bite of the hamburger Shen Quan brought, and later learned that Shen Quan was Shen Guangming's brother. He continued, "He has colluded with Lily behind the scenes for so many years, who knows if he lied on purpose this time, trying to consume our police force."
Shen Quan's expression was calm, and he was not surprised by the development of the matter. In his opinion, Wen Dengyi, as the latter behind the lily flower curtain, should have considered the possibility of exposure after Gu Beizhao was arrested. Although Liang Zhi was their target, he was the same as the website. , is not the only target it wants to kill.
This is also one of the reasons why Liang Zhi can survive until now, otherwise a bunch of people would want to kill Liang Zhi, even Shen Quan would not be sure that he could protect the life of the other party.
According to his speculation, Wen Dengyi should not only be Gu Beizhao in the police station, so the news that Liang Zhi was protected by the police has been leaked long ago, and the other party can't make a move at this time to prove how awesome he is. On the contrary, the two new cases are He wanted to divert the attention of the police and make them suspicious, so as to revoke the secret protection of Liang Zhi.
"Then how long can you protect?" Shen Quan asked.
Another police officer answered, "I'm afraid the higher-ups will make a decision within three days."
"Well, no matter what, you two have worked hard." Shen Quan thanked them with a worried look.
"It's okay, this is what we should do." The police officer understands Shen Quan's mood. After all, the person he loves may be in danger now, but the police may revoke the protection at any time. Most people will not be in a good mood. Shen Quan is considered gentle. , When encountering some rough people, they may still yell at them, scolding them for being irresponsible and incompetent.
Shen Quan turned around and walked towards the flower shop, the worry on his face disappeared instantly, and turned into an indelible gloom.
He wanted to live a normal life, so Duan Yanzheng and Wen Dengyi were the targets he had to get rid of.
Shen Quan felt that the former was easy to deal with, because he saw that the other party had never killed anyone. Although his moral bottom line was weak, he had a good appearance and personality, and he belonged to people who could be loved everywhere. As long as you don't get too much stimulation, the possibility of becoming a murderer is very low.
As soon as Wen Deng was different, Shen Quan saw through the weakness of the other party's disguise at the first sight when he saw the other party. The strong murderous intent and bloodthirsty that came out from his bones couldn't be hidden, especially the incomplete body added a few scars to the other party. Very crazy.
At this time, a customer walked out of the flower shop, holding a bunch of packaged lilies in her hand, holding a mobile phone in the other hand, with a smile on her face, as if she was chatting with someone.
While looking at her mobile phone, she didn't pay attention to the road, and collided with the man running on the other side. The lily in her hand fell to the ground, was crushed by a bicycle, and the flower branch broke.
After the woman apologized to the man, she turned around and saw the broken lily, with an expression on her face that she was unlucky to go out today.
Seeing this, Shen Quan walked over.
......
Liang Zhi received a call, hurriedly changed into the clothes he was going out, and ran downstairs. The employees all looked at him for a while because of the sound of him stepping on the stairs.
Liang Zhi looked around and saw that Shen Quan was tying a blue ribbon to a lily. He ran over and said in a low voice, "Brother Shen is not well, the rehabilitation center...the previous victim committed suicide gone."
Shen Quan paused, he quickly tied a bow, Liang Zhi glanced distractedly, a bouquet of ordinary lilies with such a beautiful knot suddenly felt a lot more expensive.
Shen Quan's voice was still calm: "Then let's go and have a look."
"Yeah." Liang Zhi took the car keys upstairs just now, and he went out first.
Shen Quan glanced at the lilies, then turned his head and told the clerk: "This bouquet of flowers is not for sale."
The clerk was puzzled, and wanted to go through the purchase list: "Is there a customer who ordered this bouquet of flowers?"
"No." Shen Quan's voice was deep and cold, like winter rain, "This bunch of flowers is broken, it's a defective product."
"No one wants a defective product."
Liang Zhi hadn't been to the rehabilitation center since he learned that Wen Deng had left. Although he sympathized with the victims, just thinking about the future of those people made him feel heavy, and he subconsciously didn't want to see them.
All he can do is to donate more money to the rehabilitation center, hoping that they can live more comfortably.
That's why he got this call, from the rehab staff.
Along the way, he sat in the co-pilot with an uneasy expression. Originally, he thought that with the arrest of the organization for the disabled, the plot would end.
In the world of suspense, someone's death means a plot, and now, as the protagonist, Shen Quan goes to the rehabilitation center, which will definitely trigger some new plot.
Liang Zhi saw the car behind him through the rearview mirror, and he recognized the car of the two policemen through the license plate number, so he felt somewhat relieved.
He observed Shen Quan's expression, the other party still looked very calm, but the protagonist of every book is destined to have a lot of inner drama, he asked: "Brother Shen, do you think this is really a simple suicide?" ?"
Of course, Shen Quan didn't think so. On the contrary, he was already speculating whether someone was making tricks behind his back to lure them over. He didn't express these thoughts directly. Although Liang Zhi often lost his IQ, he occasionally had very With a keen intuition, he asked back: "Do you have other opinions?"
"Hmm..." Liang Zhi pondered for a while, "If the victim committed suicide when he was first rescued, I wouldn't have such doubts."
"Why do you say that?" Shen Quan asked.
"A person who has never seen the light, when he sees it, realizes that he has been in the dark all the time, then all kinds of negative emotions will happen, plus the damage they have suffered is irreparable, then they will Lost the desire to survive." Liang Zhi was able to make this wave of analysis, not because he is so smart, but because he has seen a lot, and has a better understanding of the psychological state of the victim. "I talked to the staff of the rehabilitation center about this. , They invited a professional psychologist to give them psychological counseling during that time."
"Although there are great difficulties in communication, the treatment has been going on." Liang Zhi said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen."
Seeing Liang Zhi's heartless look a lot, Shen Quan felt uncomfortable with the other's frowning expression, so he stretched out his hand and pinched Liang Zhi's cheek.
"Hiss!" Liang Zhi stared in pain, covered his face and asked, "Brother Shen, why do you keep pinching my face!"
"Refresh yourself. Since you think this case is unusual, let's investigate it by hand. None of the people behind the scenes can escape." Shen Quan is now free from the shackles of the past, and he often speaks with a little Frivolous and confident.
If it was a younger protagonist, it would be called Secondary School, but in Shen Quan's body, he became a king with absolute confidence in his own strength!
Anyway, Liang Zhi was dumbfounded. As a reader, isn't he the one who loves to watch the protagonist's pretentious demeanor when facing a crisis?
What is he worried about? With the main character around, all perverted serial killers will be wiped out in the blink of an eye, so he just needs to watch.
Being able to investigate the case with the protagonist at close range is the image of YY that he had dreamed about countless times in the middle of the night. Now that it can be realized, he can't help but sincerely say to the system: "Thank you for bringing me into this world, system!"
The original intention was to see Liang Zhi being abused, and the system replied with a feeling of melancholy: "Hey...you're welcome."
The enthusiasm that faded due to the arrest of the disabled organization became a social hot spot again because of the victim's suicide. When Liang Zhi and Shen Quan arrived at the rehabilitation center, there were many cars parked outside, and media reporters were getting out of the car and running inside. Prepare for the interview and get first-hand information.
Liang Zhi could only see the impatience on the reporter's face, which made his face a little hot, because when he was a reporter, his first reaction was excitement when he encountered such big news.
"You call the people in the rehabilitation center and ask them to take us through the back door." Shen Quan didn't want to be caught by the camera.
Liang Zhi nodded. As a well-meaning person who donated a lot, the people in the rehabilitation center immediately arranged for someone to take them into the rehabilitation center through a safe passage and lead them into a quiet office.
The reception staff poured them tea and said, "The dean is currently being interviewed by reporters, you have to wait a bit."
Liang Zhi held the teacup and said, "No hurry, no hurry."
Shen Quan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you accept the reporter's interview for the first time? Didn't you call the police?"
The staff member was probably a young man in the internship period. He was frightened by Shen Quan's gloomy expression, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "That's not the case! When we found someone committing suicide, we immediately took first aid measures and called the police, but they couldn't be rescued. After coming to investigate, it was determined that it was suicide and left."
"Decided to commit suicide so soon? Hasty!" Liang Zhi was a little aggrieved. He put the teacup on the table and couldn't help but glance at Shen Quan. Could it be that this was to pave the way for the protagonist's reasoning?
Shen Quan didn't know what Liang Zhi was thinking. He also felt that the police decided the case too quickly, but there must be a reason for why it was so fast. He asked, "How did the police determine that it was a suicide case?"
"Surveillance." The staff said, "The scene of the victim's suicide was captured on the screen."
Liang Zhi immediately proposed to watch the surveillance. In order to maintain the character of the protagonist, he will promote the plot from now on!
Thinking of this, he took a deep look at Shen Quan.
Shen Quan was uncomfortable seeing that strange look in his eyes.
The staff couldn't be the master. He used the office phone to ask the dean and got his consent, and then took the two of them to watch the monitoring.
Liang Zhi knew that Shen Quan didn't like being photographed, so he asked, "We won't bump into reporters when we go to watch the surveillance?"
The staff member said: "No, we are only interviewed by reporters, and the surveillance content will never be seen by reporters."
Liang Zhi felt relieved: "That's good."
Shen Quan knew in his heart that most of the funds for the rehabilitation center came from donations from well-meaning people in the society. The purpose of the interview was to increase exposure and get more donations, but other than that, it was also for publicity. After all, it was not dedicated to doing good deeds. If such a horrific video was seen, no one would dare to send their family members here for treatment in the future.
When we arrived at the monitoring room, the staff explained the situation to the colleagues inside, and the other party called out the monitoring, then got up and said, "This is this section, you can watch it."
The other party walked aside and looked down at the phone, obviously not wanting to see such a picture again.
The wards and corridors are monitored. At this time, the screen shows that it is 4 in the morning, and the wards are full of sleeping patients.
The staff explained on the side: "In order to prevent the occurrence of poor care, we also deliberately arrange the victims who have been persecuted by bad people and some patients with speech ability in the same ward, so that if there is any accident, the patients can also notify them. us."
Liang Zhi nodded, and with the presence of surveillance, it stands to reason that it would be really difficult to do it if it was a homicide.
But in the world of suspense, the more impossible the more likely it will happen.
Soon the picture began to change, and one of the patients sat up from the hospital bed without warning.
Liang Zhi shuddered a bit. He usually watched a lot of horror movies, and he watched too many horror movies. Usually, the scenes would not scare him, but this scene still shocked him, as if there was a chill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He hurriedly leaned over to Shen Quan, with a difficult look that he wanted to see but didn't dare to look at it. Of course, he didn't forget to question the picture: "Brother Shen, I always feel that this victim's movements are a little bit wrong."
Shen Quan didn't push Liang Zhi away, most of his attention was on the surveillance, and when he heard Liang Zhi's words, he just said calmly, "The other party is pretending to be asleep."
Liang Zhi suddenly realized that if he just woke up, most people would toss and turn on the bed a few times, but the monitoring person sat up very suddenly, just as scary as a dead person lying on a coffin suddenly lying on his body.
"Couldn't he be waiting for everyone to fall asleep, and then want to get up and do something?" Liang Zhi didn't intend to discuss this with Shen Quan, he already had a rough judgment.
No wonder the police defined it as suicide. At least for now, it seems that this person is acting with self-awareness.
Liang Zhi watched the man get off the bed, walked around the bed barefoot, and walked out to the ward.
The other person walked slowly, and it took 10 minutes to cover a few steps. He didn't hit anything or disturb anyone in the room.
Liang Zhi was a little bitter, the other party lost hearing and vision, but from these few short steps, it can be seen that the other party is actually a very smart person.
The man came to the corridor and walked slowly like a ghost.
Liang Zhi pursed his lips, stared at the video and asked, "Why didn't you find anyone walking out of the ward?"
The staff said helplessly: "It was four o'clock in the morning, and there was never any accident, so the people here didn't keep watching the surveillance, and we were no better than a hospital. Generally, everyone slept soundly at night, and there was never any accident. .”
Liang Zhi lost his temper when he heard this. If it was a hospital, the nurse on duty would have spotted him as soon as he walked out of the corridor. But this is a rehabilitation center, and the doors are closed at night. The people on duty are resting. To prevent accidents, they are in every ward. Panic buttons are installed in the front.
Liang Zhi watched the surveillance victim go deep into the corridor, around a corner, and then disappeared.
"Where are people?" Liang Zhi asked.
The staff said: "He went into the toilet, and there is no monitoring there."
Shen Quan said at this time: "So he died in the toilet?"
The staff member paled, apparently one of the people who had seen the scene, and said: "Yes, the body was found when a patient went to the bathroom this morning, so it was too late...we called the police as soon as possible , the police confirmed it as a suicide through investigation and surveillance video.”
Without Shen Quan opening his mouth, Liang Zhi immediately asked, "What is the method of suicide?"
"He sat on the toilet...he cut his neck with a table knife, and his body was covered in blood..." the staff paused when describing it, like a fish about to suffocate.
Liang Zhi could understand why the other party was panicking now. He remembered that when he saw the tragic corpse in Chapter 1, he almost vomited and fainted. He patted the other party's shoulder to comfort him: "Calm down, brother."
The staff looked at Liang Zhi sadly, the look probably meant that you didn't see the scene, of course it was so easy to say.
Little did he know that Liang Zhi saw more, he was a man who had gone through great storms.
Shen Quan asked, "Where did you get the knife?"
"Oh yes, where did you get the table knife?" Liang Zhi repeated Shen Quan's question, "Don't tell me you usually eat Western food."
Staff member: "..." Why does he feel like he is being questioned like a prisoner?
He replied, "There's a table knife in the kitchen, I think he took it there while we weren't looking."
Shen Quan snorted coldly: "Is this what you told the police?"
The staff and Liang Zhi were taken aback at the same time, and the latter reacted, his eyes lit up and said, "Brother Shen, you have some clues about the case, right?"
Come on, come on, this is the pretentious plot of the protagonist!
Shen Quan did have his own opinion. He believed that the victim did have suicidal thoughts, but this premise must have been bewitched.
Someone arranged all this, and he even conveyed a message to the victim in some way, asking him to come to the toilet in the blind surveillance area at the prescribed time, give the victim a table knife—and stand there, watching the victim die from death. to die.
There is no evidence for the above analysis.
This is just Shen Quan's guess, but as the protagonist in the suspenseful novel, his analysis is often the truth, otherwise the compulsion would be gone.
Shen Quan was about to express these judgments in his heart, but seeing Liang Zhi's eyes shining, and deliberately shutting up the staff, and creating a very quiet atmosphere for him to analyze everything, his desire to confide suddenly disappeared.
"No." Shen Quan glanced at Liang Zhi coldly, and emphasized, "I have no idea about this case, and the police's analysis is correct."
"Ah...really?" Liang Zhi was a little disappointed when he heard that, but the protagonist said so, it was probably just a simple suicide case.
The staff only thought that they were playing detective games: "That is to say, two gentlemen, this is really just a suicide case, and the police only determined it after careful investigation."
Liang Zhiqian laughed twice: "I'm really sorry to have troubled you from just now to now."
When the two came out of the monitoring room, Liang Zhi didn't even think about seeing the dean, he waved his hands and said, "You are busy with your work, we will go back now."
"Two walk slowly." The staff member said.
In the corridor, Liang Zhi was a little unbelievable. Although his passive and slack led to many days of boring day after day, now he has stepped out of his comfort zone and stepped into the battlefield of crisis. Didn't happen?
When Liang Zhi passed by the ward, he saw several victims sitting there with blooming lilacs in the vase next to the hospital bed.
The windows were half open, and there was a pleasant fragrance coming with the wind.
Liang Zhi stopped and asked, "Brother Shen, did you send the lilacs in the ward?"
Shen Quan responded, and didn't say anything else, as if what he did was not worth talking about.
But Liang Zhi was touched. Although he donated money, he didn't really think about the victims.
Apart from feeling indignant and distressed about this incident, he couldn't empathize with it, and even thought coldly when he learned that the bad guy had been arrested, this incident just turned the page.
But Shen Quan never forgot, and kept getting people to send lilac flowers.
Victims can't hear or see, but they can smell the reassuring scent of flowers.
In order to live while smelling the fragrance of flowers, Shen Quan actually gave them the reason and courage to live.
Liang Zhi hugged Shen Quan and gave him a bear hug: "Brother Shen, you are such a little angel!"
Shen Quan was caught off guard by being hugged, and before he could push away, he was disgusted by Liang Zhi's title of little angel.
He found the title of red scarf very good.
If Liang Zhi dared to say "little angel" again, he would let the other party enter the rehabilitation center as a matter of course.
Liang Zhi didn't know what Shen Quan was thinking, he thought of a good way now because of Shen Quan's heart-warming behavior.
"Brother Shen, in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, we have to find a way to stimulate their desire to survive and make their life worth living."
The corners of Shen Quan's mouth curled up slightly, Liang Zhi was really naive.
What Wen Dengyi said was right, they saved people from the village back then, that was not salvation.
Dragging dark-adapted people out into the sun without teaching them how to survive in such an environment is another form of torture.
"They don't have hearing and vision, they can't even speak, and they don't have any culture yet." Shen Quan said the reality coldly, "How should such people live, they need someone to take care of them even for basic eating and drinking every day."
"Death..." is the real relief for them. Before Shen Quan finished speaking, Liang Zhi ran to the hospital bed, took out lilac flowers, and held them up to sit there. in front of the boy.
The boy's nostrils moved, and he suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the lilac flower in front of him without any mistakes: "Ah!"
"Brother Chen! Look, he knows someone is coming!" Liang Zhi said excitedly to him, "He can smell the fragrance and perceive the world through the fragrance. We teach everyone how to arrange flowers, and then let the media report, so that more people can help them, and maybe one day, they can recover medically."
Shen Quan looked at Liang Zhi silently, at this moment he felt that the other party looked like a lilac flower, just like the meaning of the flower language, lighting an indelible light in the hearts of people in darkness.
Even the thoughts hidden deep in his heart were blinded by this beam of light.
Admit it, Shen Quan.
You like him.
