63. Morning Dew (3)(1/2)
Ji Heng suddenly felt his cuffs loose, and he also turned his head to look over. When he turned around, he met Gu Qingtong's puzzled eyes.
"Did you hear any noise?" she asked, "Except for the buttons falling to the ground?"
"No..." He pondered for a moment, his fingers gently scraped the bridge of her nose, "My attention is all focused on you."
The two hugged each other for a while, and the screeching color on Gu Qingtong's cheeks slowly faded.
She grabbed Ji Heng's arm and studied the reasons for the cufflinks to break off the thread.
"How to describe it? It's like a candle flower bursting, or a glass bursting." She said, "The first time I heard this sound, I'm investigating the murder of Li Yuanrong. Tong Jia concealed the facts when he was interrogated. I thought I was angry because of being deceived by her, so I had hallucinations-"
Ji Heng guessed: "I have had similar experiences, especially when I was very tired."
Gu Qingtong looked straight at the ceiling with her eyes in a depressed tone: "Recently, I heard crackling sounds getting higher and higher..."
"Dear, your body is sending a warning to remind you that you should relax." Ji Heng pulled out his arm from under her neck and sat up. "After returning to Jinyang, Team Pan will allow you to have ten days off. I will accompany you to go to bed early and get up early to make delicious food for you and make good conditioning!"
"I don't want to take leave."
"Obe obedient, Xiaotong, who knows how to rest can be better devoted to work."
"Rotten chicken soup, don't drink it!"
"Officer Gu, who goes into the left ear and out of the right ear, you are forcing me to use force..."
Ji Heng's persistence faced Gu Qingtong's stubbornness, like a mantis chariot, and his efforts were exhausted but he had no effect. He had to change his strategy.
"You actually dare to squeeze me?" Gu Qingtong was most afraid of itchy. She was dodging and sneaked into Ji Heng's ribs.
"I'm afraid of you..." Ji Heng's itchy flesh was densely distributed on both sides of his body. He was even better in terms of strength. He turned over and pressed Gu Qingtong's wrist, "Okay, I'm more impatient? I can't do it if I don't show my power!"
They laughed and didn't notice when the door of the ward was pushed open.
Pan Shaofang, who was walking in the front, was caught off guard and was stunned by this scene and dared not take another step.
Gu Siwei had a thin face. Seeing the scene between his daughter and Ji Heng, his face became extremely unnatural, and he quickly turned his eyes and looked elsewhere.
Yue Wenjuan chatted with the nurse for a few brief words. When she returned to the ward, she found two big men standing at the door. She mistakenly thought that her daughter's condition had worsened, so she rushed in without asking. When she saw everything in front of her, she was immediately angry.
"Ji Heng! Get out of here-"
"Aunt, we're just having fun..."
"It's useless to explain!" Yue Wenjuan grabbed Ji Heng's clothes, "Hurry up, stay wherever you get cool!"
Gu Qingtong said: "It's okay, my mom is kidding..."
"Who is joking with you?"
As he said that, Yue Wenjuan hit the back of Gu Qingtong's hand, Ji Heng blocked the way, and the heavy slap fell on his arm.
Blood immediately penetrated Ji Heng's sleeves.
Although the shirt was dark blue, the bright red blood was very obvious. He did not cry out for pain, but his expression was a little flustered.
Yue Wenjuan was stunned: "Why don't you say anything if you are injured?"
The smile instantly froze on Gu Qingtong's face.
"Quick--" Her voice changed, "Let me find a nurse to help with the wound!"
-
Ji Heng's injury was initially concluded that it was a puncture injury caused by a sharp device. The wound was narrow and long, reaching the muscle layer in depth. It was visually estimated that the nerves had been damaged and a professional surgeon was required to suture it.
Gu Qingtong thought that his wound would heal quickly, just like before.
However, the doctor's serious expression told her that Ji Heng's condition was very serious this time.
"The infection in the affected area causes the body temperature to continue to be high, which is only one factor. I suspect that he has other diseases. In addition to anti-inflammatory treatment, I suggest giving the patient a comprehensive physical examination to find out the source of the inflammation."
"Okay, I agree!"
"I won't have a physical examination!"
Gu Qingtong and Ji Heng had different opinions, and the two could not convince each other, so they each moved their support to start a confrontation.
"Dad, please persuade him for me!" Gu Qingtong was restless, hoping that Gu Siwei could change Ji Heng's thoughts.
"Captain Pan, you go and stop Uncle Gu, I can't face him." Ji Heng pulled Pan Shaofang closer and said, "For my lifelong event, please be sure to help me!"
Gu Siwei and Pan Shaofang were in a dilemma.
They stood in a daze for ten minutes, and finally decided to tell each other honestly that they could not help with this.
Gu Qingtong had no choice but to go into battle himself.
She gently shook Ji Heng's healthy arm, her tone was soft and full of begging: "Aheng, you said you would be by my side to take care of me. What if you fell ill, what should I do if you left me alone?"
Ji Heng stared at her deeply: "I won't make the same mistake again."
Just at this moment, Wei Chaocheng appeared at the entrance of the infusion hall, beside him was a middle-aged man with a medium-bearded beard.
Pan Shaofang took the initiative to go over and say hello: "Old Hu, I didn't expect we will meet again so soon?"
Hu Quanyou is a veteran of the Longyan City Criminal Police Team and also serves as the leader of the serious crime team. At the beginning of this year, Hu Quanyou and Pan Shaofang joined forces to solve a case of cross-provincial stolen and sell cultural relics. The two of them had a happy cooperation, but they did not have a conspiracy.
"Old Pan," Hu Quanyou said, "we have tracked down the vehicle that hijacked Officer Gu."
Pan Shaofang was overjoyed: "Is that so? That's great!"
However, Hu Quanyou poured cold water on everyone's words: "The white off-road vehicle with license plate in Jinyang City was abandoned on the roadside as soon as the car drove out of Longyan City. The interior of the car was washed with bleach, and we were unable to collect fingerprints and other traces."
Pan Shaofang looked solemn: "Have the camera along the way taken the driver's video information?"
"I've taken a photo." Hu Quanyou took out an envelope from his carry-on bag, "There are photos inside, so Officer Gu can identify them."
"Leave it to me first." Pan Shaofang said, "Xiao Gu she..."
Hu Quanyou was anxious and impatient to continue listening. He turned his head to look at Gu Qingtong who was wrapped in gauze, then glanced at Ji Heng who was holding a bottle of drip, and instantly showed contempt.
"Who is Officer Gu?"
Gu Qingtong raised his hand high: "Captain Hu, I'm here."
Hu Quanyou was stunned and looked at Wei Chaocheng with suspicion: "Xiao Wei, why don't you say that Officer Gu is a woman?"
"I didn't say it, but you didn't ask either!" Wei Chaocheng said no, "Old Hu, we have been intimate for many years, you never discriminate against sex when handling cases. What's wrong with the stubbornness today? It's like taking a gun/medicine!"
Hu Quanyou's anger suddenly ignited: "If you don't explain it clearly in advance, our entire investigation direction is wrong! It's a waste of time!"
Wei Chaocheng said: "Don't tease me, Lao Hu."
"How can I have the time to tease you? I feel sorry for it and wasted twelve hours!" Hu Quanyou wanted to return the photo in Pan Shaofang's hand. "This car drove into Longyan City at 21:11 the night before yesterday. The driver drove to the service area and got off the car with the co-pilot. Ten minutes later, the person in the back seat was carried off by them. The camera of the convenience store captured the man's face. He was a man with two black moles at the corner of his eyes. His facial features and appearance were not similar to Officer Gu!"
"Is it a waste of investigation?" Wei Chaocheng stared at Hu Quanyou in disappointment, "Will your group make such a low-level mistake?"
Hu Quanyou said angrily: "The information you provided on the phone is incomplete. I turned around and bite us back and blamed us for being unprofessional! You only said that a police officer Gu from Jinyang City was hijacked and fainted at the old hospital construction site in the suburbs when he was found. He didn't even say his full name - I was serious, and I adjusted the surveillance and appeared on the scene. Do you know how much police force was wasted?"
Wei Chaocheng retorted: "Enough, Lao Hu! There is no good ending for being greedy..."
These cross-border words obviously involve Wei Chaocheng and Hu Quanyou's usual relationship.
Pan Shaofang realized that the quarrel would lead to more uncontrollable consequences. He quickly pulled Hu Quanyou to the corridor outside the infusion hall and persuaded him kindly: "Old Hu, Xiao Wei and Xiao Gu in our group are brothers and sisters. One person has an accident and the other must not bear it. Young people cannot help but speak without restraint. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Hu Quanyou sighed and said, "Old Pan, I'm not afraid of you hearing some things - Xiao Wei is very crazy now, and even the mayor respects him three points. He has taken down five medical project plots in Longyan City and even the suburbs. He has the lifeline of our economy, and I can't afford to offend him."
"Everyone is right, but the person is wrong, please calm down." Pan Shaofang said, "Show me the photos, can you guarantee that there are acquaintances from our Jinyang in the photo?"
Hu Quanyou handed over the envelope: "Look! We activated facial recognition and found no one who matched the wanted criminals on the entire network."
Pan Shaofang looked at it in sequence in time, and finally, his eyes fixed on the man photographed by the convenience store camera in the service area.
"Old Hu, your hard work is not wasted!"
"Have you seen this person?" Hu Quanyou asked nervously.
"It's more than just seeing him? He is our 'old friend' Han Xiao." Pan Shaofang pointed to the facial features of the man in the photo. "You just said two black moles, and I was thinking. I remember that there was a wanted criminal with a mole in the corner of his eye. It was very likely that the two were the same person. As expected, I guessed it right!"
Hu Quanyou was unwilling to admit that his judgment was wrong: "The accuracy of our newly introduced facial recognition software is more than 95%, and only 5 out of 100 people cannot be found. How do you prove that this person is indeed Han Xiao? Just rely on two black moles?"
Pan Shaofang said: "Old Hu, you don't know. At the end of last year, Han Xiao was stabbed in the face twice, injured in the eyebrow and jaw bones respectively. He saved his life but ruined his appearance. Of course, the information in the police database is not as good as he is now."
Hu Quanyou couldn't figure it out: "What is Han Xiao going to do? He specializes in a drama that hides the ubiquitous sky eye?"
Pan Shaofang said: "There is no Xiao Gu in the car, which means she was locked in the trunk at that time. In addition to the coma caused by the car accident, Han Xiao and the others also injected Xiao Gu with medical anesthetics."
"These gangs of beasts are inferior to those-" Hu Quanyou swears, "How many people have we sacrificed to capture Han Xiao? But even if he can't see his face, his life is still there! It's so unfair!"
Pan Shaofang looked at the situation in the infusion hall and turned back to face Hu Quanyou.
"Han Xiao escaped, but fortunately Xiao Gu is not seriously injured. Lao Hu, our top priority is to work together to solve the murder of Jiang Chushan."
Hu Quanyou agreed: "Don't worry, we will cooperate actively!"
-
That night, the group returned to Jinyang City.
Gu Qingtong refused to be hospitalized, and Ji Heng also said that the arm injury did not affect daily activities. They took a taxi as soon as they left the airport.
Pan Shaofang originally wanted to send the Gu couple to see him off, but he had no choice but to be bothered and said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Yue Wenjuan caused trouble during the day and was silent all the way.
To be continued...
