hubbub

Shang Yuzhi left the ward as if fleeing, like a drowning person eager to get out of the water. He strode out of the hospital and took a deep breath, hoping to stabilize his turbulent mood, but still felt that his strength was like It's like taking time out of my body, it's like returning to the feeling when I suddenly learned that my father was arrested and imprisoned. As if he had to clench his teeth, his whole body felt unstoppable pain, empty as if he was about to fall if he didn't hold on to anything, this feeling came so suddenly, almost caught off guard, like a huge wave rushing towards his face, making him There is no escape.

But he never thought that his heartless words would make Zhuang Xifeng suffer like that, and he never thought that seeing Zhuang Xifeng in pain would be unbearable to him at all. He already knew how strong Zhuang Xifeng would be, so he loves to be brave. The painful appearance that people can't suppress at all makes him feel so distressed that he can't help himself. It must be because he has been accumulating for too long and too long to be like this.

Therefore, for Zhuang Xifeng, his departure might be a good thing. As for himself, he has experienced such a painful separation from Gu Yunlan ten years ago, so it shouldn't be that difficult to be with Zhuang Xifeng now, right?

He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, someone once asked him:

—Then what frightens you?

He remembered that his answer was separation.

——If I live for a long time and we get to know each other gradually, will you be afraid of being separated from me in the future?

Shang Zhiyu thinks that he already has the answer.

Yes, of course.

Shang Zhiyu was walking aimlessly on the street. For some reason, he suddenly felt lost and couldn't find the direction of "home".

Thinking of Zhuang Xifeng occupying his living room, thinking that there is always someone waiting for him to cook at home, thinking of his satisfied expression every time he eats, thinking of his eagerness to move the whole wine cabinet, thinking of him After being kind to himself, Shang Zhiyu realized that before he knew it, he had regarded Zhuang Xifeng as his family, so now he felt extremely painful because of such a separation, and didn't know what to do.

For many years, he tried hard to keep a distance from others, because he was afraid of painful separation, but unexpectedly, he was completely broken by such a person, because of the sincerity of that person, the hard work of that person, Only then can he break through his heart defense so easily, and then break through to the end.

But no matter what, he admitted it. Although he didn't know whether it was good or bad for Zhuang Xifeng, if he couldn't be with Zhuang Xifeng as a lover, and couldn't give everything his lover should give, then he should do it himself. It's better than Zhuang Xifeng always making compromises in order to care about his mood. This should not be what Zhuang Xifeng, the proud son of heaven, deserves. A person like him deserves better people to pay for him, although the current self is also willing to give everything for him. I don't hesitate, but maybe he was born with the wrong gender, so he lost the qualification to give everything for him from the beginning.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when he came, he was so anxious that he stopped a taxi and rushed there. Now he just wanted to be alone, so he kept walking, as if he wanted to go to the end of the world, but in the end Still walking to the door of his house, he habitually took out the key, but stopped at the door.

Only then did he remember that there was Gu Yunlan inside.

Gu Yunlan, the woman who was going to be his wife soon, the woman whom he had let down so badly, he didn't think of her at all in such a long period of time just now.

Feeling guilty immediately, Shang Zhiyu stood outside the door with a sigh, inserted the key into the lock, and gently opened the door.

Now he may not be able to do anything for Zhuang Xifeng anymore, but Gu Yunlan is still his responsibility. She encountered such a thing not long ago, he can't affect her again and again because of Zhuang Xifeng's matter, he still needs to find out about You Li's whereabouts The police station asked clearly, if necessary, he might have to take Gu Yunlan out of the city, so that Gu Yunlan would not be in a state of anxiety all day long.

Pushing open the door, Shang Zhiyu walked to the bed, Gu Yunlan was curled up there quietly, the sequelae of that incident made her often suffer from insomnia, or have nightmares again and again, Shang Zhiyu always felt that even if it was her body The scars faded slowly, and the wounds in his heart should be difficult to heal. When facing her at this time, the pity and reluctance in his heart all surged up again. He really wished that he was the one who suffered, not Gu Yun. Lan was not Zhuang Xifeng either.

"I'm sorry, Yunlan." Shang Zhi said softly and quietly, hugging her to sleep with her every day, he knew best that Yunlan was not asleep at all, he felt sorry for leaving her alone today, but his There was another deeper and deeper apology hidden in my heart, but I never had the chance to say it to that person again.

"Teacher Yang, Teacher Yang Concubine."

Ling Shangyun quickly caught up with a woman in old-fashioned colors and with the simplest braids. She lowered her head slightly when she walked, and a pair of wide wooden frame glasses on the bridge of her nose more or less covered her. That fair face, when she turned around because she heard her name, Ling Shangyun still couldn't help being stunned for a moment, because the temperament of the woman in front of her was so similar to Gu Yunlan that even Shen Yun Are somewhat close.

"Mr. Yang, hello." Ling Shangyun stopped opposite her and said to her.

Concubine Yang had never seen Ling Shangyun, but she didn't look like the parent of the child here, so she asked, "May I ask what you want from me?"

Ling Shangyun showed her ID, which surprised Concubine Yang even more. She didn't expect the police to come to her. She obviously couldn't tell the authenticity of the ID, but when she saw the photo that Ling Shangyun took out later, she was almost astonished. Shocked, before Ling Shangyun could finish saying "I'm here to investigate this person, please cooperate", Yang Concubine hurriedly turned around and walked away quickly, "Sorry, I don't know this person people."

Seeing this, Ling Shangyun understood, and said behind her, "He is already dead."

These words made Concubine Yang's footsteps stop immediately, she turned around slowly as if she couldn't believe it, stared at Ling Shangyun, and asked mechanically word by word, "Is he dead?"

Ling Shangyun nodded, "We are still blocking this news, because the cause of his death is still under investigation, so we need your cooperation."

Concubine Yang still had mistrust in her eyes. It was the deepest haze in her heart for a long time, and she never dared to shake it off. She was looking forward to this day so much, so when she heard the news suddenly, she couldn't believe it at all. This is real.

Ling Shangyun waited patiently for her to calm down. After a long time, Concubine Yang responded again. She said to Ling Shangyun, "Go and sit over there." She pointed to the bench in the small playground and spoke to Ling Shangyun. Chang Yun said.

"Okay." Ling Shangyun followed Yang Concubine and walked over. After sitting down, Yang Concubine still didn't open her mouth, as if the old things buried for many years could not be unearthed at once, and it took time to slowly clean up the soil on it. To see the sun again.

"How...how did he die?" As if even mentioning his name was unbearable, Yang Concubine could only use "he" instead.

Ling Shangyun didn't deliberately hide it from her, but said, "He died of being bitten through the carotid artery."

Seemingly, Yang Mi didn't expect him to die in such a way, she couldn't help being slightly startled, and blurted out, "Who...by whom?"

Ling Shangyun vaguely understood where her doubts came from, and said, "I can only tell you that the other party is not a woman, and it is inconvenient for me to reveal who it is."

Although this answer answered Yang Mi's doubts, it made Yang Mi feel even more puzzled, because she knew that perverted person best, he only touched women, and had no interest in men at all.

As if seeing the suspicion in Yang Concubine's eyes, Ling Shangyun asked, "How do you know him?"

Concubine Yang didn't want to recall anything related to that pervert at all, but because she was facing the police at this time, she had no choice but to reply, "I met him in college. He was originally my senior. It is said that he came from France. Come on, he is very popular. When I first entered school that year, I was taken care of by him. He is very talented in painting. He is a genius praised by the teachers, but who knows, in private, it turns out that he is... is..."

She couldn't say it, but Ling Shangyun understood what kind of person You Li was, but facing the woman in front of her, she also understood her pain, but she had to ask some questions clearly, so she said, "Because You Li Now there is a person unconscious. Although Yu Li is dead, we still have reason to suspect that there may be other reasons for Yu Li's death. It is a last resort to find you. I also know that these things are very important to you. It must be very difficult, but for the sake of the truth, I hope you can tell me all the details related to him, such as whether You Li usually has the habit of taking medicine, what is the difference between his interest in women and men, etc. "

"Before that, can I ask a question?" Yang Concubine asked suddenly.

"You ask."

"How did you find out that it was me?" Concubine Yang never thought that one day she would get news of that pervert. Obviously, she had already left the city and chose a remote school. Although she became a teacher, she was not what she used to be. Professionally, she chooses to face children instead of any adults. She is extremely afraid of contacting them. No matter male or female, she lives here incognito and rarely goes home. She is afraid of being approached by her past again. She couldn't avoid it, but fortunately, it was good news, but she didn't know if she could get real relief because of this news. After so many years of avoiding it, Concubine Yang felt that she was far away from the self who embraced dreams back then. He was about to forget that he was still a living person. Even if that person was really dead now, he had already left a shadow that he would never forget.

"I tracked down the whereabouts of all of You Li's female classmates at school before I found you. In fact, you are not the only one. They are all like you, living alone away from the crowd." Ling Shangyun replied to her.

Concubine Yang couldn't help smiling wryly, and then, with great difficulty, she told Ling Shangyun exactly what had happened to her.

When the phone was connected, Zhou Yanyu was about to pack up his things and go to the hospital first, and then go home to work. Shen Xi just knocked on the door of his office. Zhou Yanyu made a gesture, and he knew that the person on the other end of the phone was Ling Shangyun. Xi leaned over, and Zhou Yanyu pressed the speakerphone, "Speak."

"I found one of the women who had been sexually assaulted and abused by You Li. She was called Yang Concubine. She and Gu Yunlan went to the same university. Before You Li brought Gu Yunlan back to France, You Li kept looking for her. Because Concubine Yang had a handle on You Li and was afraid of being known by everyone, Concubine Yang had no choice but to compromise until she knew that You Li had returned to France, and she immediately went through the formalities of dropping out of school and fled that city." Ling Shangyun's voice It came from the mobile phone, but it sounded a little disappointed, "Although I know that You Li has no history of taking medicine, will not use drugs to make himself excited, and will not choose a man, but I have no real evidence to prove it. On this point, just a few words from Concubine Yang are not enough. Now I only know that You Li did take stimulants before his death, but the forensic doctor has clearly told me that those doses are not enough to kill people. It will be reflected in an instant, but it will make You Li's own abusive emotions rise, so the injury on Zhuang Xifeng's body can be explained, and the direct cause of You Li's death is still the damage of the carotid artery."

"If he doesn't have the habit of taking medicine, then where does the stimulant in his body come from?" Zhou Yanyu asked.

"I suspect it's Gu Yunlan. Before Zhuang Xifeng was kidnapped, there was no one else with You Li except Gu Yunlan, so she was the only one who had the chance to drug You Li, and she knew all of You Li's habits, but I went to search the apartment she rented, and she erased all the traces in it, and there is no evidence that You Li stayed there."

Hearing this, Zhou Yanyu and Shen Xi looked at each other, and Shen Xi said, "Actually, we all suspect that she called Xifeng, and the person who went to see Xifeng the day before his disappearance should also be Gu Yunlan, but Gu Yun Lan is very smart and did not leave any evidence behind."

"I have a way to make Gu Yunlan show her original shape, but I need your help." Ling Shangyun said suddenly.

"Oh? I would like to hear the details." Shen Xi said.

"So far, the police have never announced the cause of You Li's death, have they?"

"You want to take advantage of this." Zhou Yanyu said with a flash of realization in his eyes under the lens.

"I'll tell you when I go back and think about it carefully." Ling Shangyun said, and then asked, "By the way, how is his situation now?"

Knowing who she was asking, Zhou Yanyu replied, "He is already awake, but now he is not Zhuang Xifeng, but Zhuang Xiyun."

Ling Shangyun was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Zhuang Qiyun? I've vaguely heard that it's his younger brother's name, but... what's going on?"

Seeing that she seemed to be ignorant of Zhuang Xifeng's past, Zhou Yanyu thought for a while and said, "Actually, I can't hide it from you. You can find out that Xifeng has a history of schizophrenia because there has been no cure. Li's incident broke out again, and now his personality is completely that of his younger brother."

It was indeed the first time Ling Shangyun learned that she never knew that Zhuang Qifeng had such a past. Although she was a private detective, she never investigated the past of her friends. This was her consistent code of conduct.

"Then what should we do? Where is Zhuang Qifeng? Can he come back?" She couldn't help asking.

Zhou Yan said nothing, Shen Xi replaced him and said, "When Xifeng recovers a little bit, we will let Xiaoyou take him back to Japan for treatment. It is his birthplace, and it may help him recover."

"Have you ever thought about asking Shang Zhiyu for help? Zhuang Xifeng loves him so much, maybe it will be useful? Because if the medicine was really given by Gu Yunlan, it seems that You Li is the one who died now, but have you ever thought that she is actually Who is the person who wants to kill?"

Both Zhou Yanyu and Shen Xi were taken aback by Ling Shangyun's words. They really hadn't thought of this, but now that Ling Shangyun mentioned it, they couldn't help but suddenly realized that if the stimulant was not fatal, then Gu Yunlan would. It was determined to use You Li to kill Zhuang Xifeng, the reason was very simple, just because of Zhuang Xifeng's appearance, Gu Yunlan felt that he was in danger of losing Shang Zhiyu.

"This is speculation after all, and having said that, although I believe that as long as we ask, according to Shang Zhiyu's character, he will definitely be willing to help, even if he has made it clear to Xiaoyou before that he will not respond to Qifeng again. , but no matter what, we have to think for Xifeng first, whether to let him fall into it again, or take this opportunity to completely abandon Shang Zhiyu." Zhou Yanyu said.

"Well, I won't interfere in this matter, I just want to find out the truth, but I don't think you need to intervene, let everything take its course, and I believe that if Shang Zhiyu knows the truth, he will never abandon Zhuang Xifeng No matter." Ling Shangyun finally said.

"What you said is also reasonable. In short, we will wait for your news first."

After finishing speaking, after Ling Shangyun hung up first, Zhou Yanyu put away the phone and said to Shen Xi, "Let's go, let's go to the hospital."

Shen Xi nodded, and said to Zhou Yanyu, "I'll drive."

Zhou Yanyu did not refuse and handed over the car keys.
