Sense of smell

dark.

Lin Chuan struggled to open his eyes, his whole body was sore, he lay upright in the darkness, surrounded by pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers.The dark environment made him feel fear and uneasiness in his heart. He stretched out his hand apprehensively, but he touched the wood-like texture.

He looked around hesitantly, could he be in a box?He pushed it up again, but the wooden board was not closed tightly, and soon the light passed through the gap, like the night torn apart by the day.Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes and adjusted for a moment, then continued to push upwards.

— bang.The sound of the plank falling was accompanied by a bright light. Lin Chuan was overjoyed. He took a few deep breaths and was about to stand up. He leaned on the edge of the wooden box, and with the help of the light, he realized where he was—in a coffin !

Lin Chuan hurriedly looked down at himself. His limbs were intact, but he was dressed very strangely. His thin body was wrapped in a deadly white long dress. He clearly remembered that he was wearing a police uniform, and then he was stabbed by a knife, and then fell into a coma.

...so he is dead now.

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment. If he died, there is nothing wrong with being in the coffin, so now he is... fraudulent? !

Lin Chuan suppressed the astonishment in his heart, and gradually observed the surrounding environment.The coffin he slept in was at the junction of the seaside and the forest, the off-white sandy beach stretched as far as the eye could see, and the sound of the waves crashing ashore could be heard in his ears.He slowly walked out of the coffin and walked towards the coast. The softness of his feet on the beach was very real, and the fine sand scratched along his fingers, making it itchy.

There was no one around, only wave after wave. Standing by the sea, Lin Chuan was standing by the sea, and the sea was washing against his insteps. Something familiar here.

He turned his head to look at the woods, the leaves rustled as the wind blew, he walked into the woods suspiciously, stepping on dead branches and gravel with his bare feet, but strangely, he didn't feel the pain as imagined.He slowly pushed aside the branches and leaves and walked forward, the sky gradually darkened, and the horizon was stained with blurred colors.

The more Lin Chuan walked forward, the more familiar he felt, and everything that was gradually covered by the shady scene seemed to lead him to the deepest part of his memory.

Suddenly, two gunshots broke the silence. Lin Chuan's eyes widened and he rushed towards the source of the sound.

With the whistling wind in his ears, he kept pushing away the obstacles in front of him, and ran like crazy. If he guessed correctly, he would soon——

boom!

A loud explosion pierced Lin Chuan's eardrums. At this time, he was already close to the source of the sound, and the house in his memory was already engulfed in flames. Sparks kept splashing outward, igniting the surrounding vegetation.He stopped slowly, the flames illuminated his face, and his face was crystal clear, he couldn't cry out, he could only keep crying, looking at the scene that had tortured him for more than ten years.

Suddenly, two figures ran out of the flames. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, only to see the two boys in his memory running forward supporting each other, and then fell overwhelmed.Lin Chuan hurried up to help them, but his arms passed through their bodies.

"Get up! You can't sleep!" One of the boys dragged the other boy forward. The heat wave burned the clothes on their backs to ashes, and the delicate skin of the children was exposed and burned to a mess.

Lin Chuan stared blankly at their backs as they staggered away, and it took him a long time to react. He ran towards them recklessly, but he couldn't get close to them as if he was standing still.

"No..." Lin Chuan knelt down on his knees with tears in his eyes. He turned a deaf ear to the familiar siren sound from a distance, and just looked at the distant figure motionlessly.

"Ji Heng." Dimly, he seemed to hear someone calling him behind him, Ji Heng, that was a name that shouldn't appear in the world.Deep down in his heart, he felt powerless as if he had been ruthlessly rubbed.Lin Chuan turned his head slowly, the figure in front of him was backlit, with an unpredictable expression, but Lin Chuan could still recognize his identity.

Tears couldn't stop flowing out anymore, he stood up slowly, facing the person behind him, only to see that person stretched out his hand to him, against the light of the fire, said softly:

"Live."

Lin Chuan slowly opened his eyes. The light that suddenly pierced his irises made him feel uncomfortable. He narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't realize that he was lying in the hospital until the surrounding image was blurred.

So I didn't die.Lin Chuan murmured silently in his heart, he was breathing slowly, the oxygen mask covering his mouth and nose was not comfortable, he raised his right hand, trying to take off the mask, only to find that his hand was actually weak, so he had to give up.

Lin Chuan slightly turned his head to look at the monitor. The heart rate numbers and electrocardiogram were fluctuating within the normal range. He was staring at the line charts one after another in a daze. Suddenly, the door of the ward was gently pushed open.

Jiang Yue walked in slowly with the water-changed vase, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the person on the hospital bed blinking at him, constantly casting doubtful glances of "what are you doing?"He smiled softly, put the vase on the bedside table, pressed the call bell, and then slowly sat down beside the hospital bed.

"What do you belong to? You've been sleeping for more than a week." Jiang Yue watched his still pale face finally regain some vitality, and teased with a smile.

Lin Chuan said a few times through the mask, Jiang Yue knew without guessing that he must be playing tricks again, so he had to smile helplessly.In the end, he suppressed his smile, frowned, and said to Lin Chuan with self-blame, "I'm sorry."

Lin Chuan looked at the guilt-ridden man in front of him, shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand to gently caress the center of his brow, and said something vaguely.

Jiang Yue didn't hear clearly, so he had to lean forward, listening to Lin Chuan and saying, "Ugly."

Jiang Yue laughed uncontrollably, and Lin Chuan, who was hiding under the oxygen mask, also smiled softly.

After the doctor finished the last examination on Lin Chuan, he finally took off the obstructive oxygen mask. Lin Chuan immediately felt as if he had been reborn, enjoying the comfort of fresh air.

When everyone in the real case team heard that Lin Chuan had woken up, they all rushed over. What's more, when they saw Lin Chuan's complexion recovering and sitting safely on the hospital bed, they lay down beside the hospital bed and wept.

Lin Chuan looked at Wendy who was teardrops incessantly, and could only comfort him, "What are you doing? Others think I've come back to life..."

When Wendy heard this, she cried even more fiercely.

Lin Chuan rubbed his brows and patted Wendy's shoulder lightly. After peeling an orange for Lin Chuan, Wei Lan said, "Lin Chuan is fine now, you should wipe away your tears. Team Tang will come and ask for help later." saying you."

Huang Mao raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "So Wendy's makeup looks like this."

Yongshu: "..."

Wendy raised the back of her hand and wiped her eyes, then sobbed and said, "Officer Xiaolin, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault."

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows, why did he wake up, and kept apologizing to himself.He smiled disapprovingly and said, "I was too aggressive, don't blame yourself."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yue walked in with an insulated box. He looked at the sobbing Wendy, frowned and said, "Wei Lan, take her out to calm down. You all go out first, I Talk to Officer Lin about something."

Everyone left the ward knowingly, and Jiang Yue put the incubator on the small table on the hospital bed. Lin Chuan looked at the dishes in the food box expectantly. After being hungry for a week and only injected with nutrient solution, he immediately smelled the aroma of the food. , Immediately whet the appetite.

Jiang Yue unhurriedly opened the insulated box, and slowly took out one dish after another: fried cabbage with celery, shredded potatoes with vinegar, eggs with leeks, mushroom porridge, and a bucket of clear chicken soup with the oil foam removed.

"Why are they all vegetarian..." Lin Chuan picked up his chopsticks and stirred the bowl of chicken soup full of chicken breasts, and said disappointedly.

Jiang Yue looked up at him, and said, "The doctor told me not to be greasy or spicy, just let it go." After finishing speaking, he put all kinds of vegetarian dishes into the empty bowl in front of Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan Looking at a bowl of vegetarian food without appetite, he picked the green vegetable stem and said, "I don't eat celery."

"Celery nourishes the blood."

"I will not eat."

Seeing Lin Chuan's resistance, Jiang Yue had no choice but to give up. He took another empty bowl, filled it with chicken soup, and put it in front of Lin Chuan. The porridge was swallowed.

Seeing that Lin Chuan had almost eaten, Jiang Yue put away the bowls and chopsticks and put them aside, then rubbed his hands, thought for a long time, and then said to Lin Chuan, "Le Yi Yang is gone."

Lin Chuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Jiang Yue in disbelief. He almost risked his life to hunt down Le Yiyang. What does it mean that he is gone?He immediately asked, "What do you mean it's gone?"

Jiang Yue licked his lips, and then said: "The girl who stabbed you, when we led her to the interrogation room where Le Yiyang was, she grabbed the gun and shot Le Yiyang directly."

Lin Chuan frowned inexplicably, as if it was hard to believe what Jiang Yue said, but Jiang Yue would not lie to him, he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word for a while.

Jiang Yue saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, so he could only continue to say: "Before that, I interrogated Le Yiyang under hypnosis. Do you remember what I told you about the case three years ago?"

"You said the case of using hypnosis to commit crimes." Lin Chuan looked at him and nodded.

Jiang Yue's eyes met with his, and he said word by word: "Zhang Zhang was also hypnotized and forced to commit suicide."

Lin Chuan seemed to have expected it, he breathed out and said, "I don't think it's as simple as suicide, so where is the case now? Does the person who hypnotized him have a clue?"

Jiang Yue's Adam's apple twitched, and after a while, he said, "The case is closed."

"The case is closed?" Lin Chuan raised his voice in surprise.

"The Bureau ordered that Zhang Li be filed as a suicide, and Le Yiyang was sentenced to life imprisonment for taking prohibited drugs and resisting the police."

Fang Ju... Lin Chuan slightly clenched his hand on the quilt, Jiang Yue noticed his action, took the orange on the bedside table, peeled it and changed the subject: "Your friend, Zhao Yi, come here found me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately relaxed and said, "Ah, yes, there is such a thing, I asked her to help read the score."

Jiang Yue handed the peeled oranges to Lin Chuan, and said, "She introduced me to a musician, Gu Rongsheng, who played me the music according to the score three years ago, and it was indeed different from the original."

Lin Chuan stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth, and the sweet and sour juice overflowed his mouth. He thought for a while, and said after a while: "Gu Rongsheng... I have the impression that he is a classmate of Zhao Yi's art school. I met him once, but he It’s like studying abroad.”

"Yes," Jiang Yue nodded, "His teacher abroad gave a recital three years ago when he returned to China."

Lin Chuan shrank his pupils suddenly, looked at Jiang Yue, and asked, "Who is it?"

Jiang Yue took out his mobile phone, clicked on the search engine, and soon a photo of a man over fifty years old appeared on the screen.

"Zhou Yan." Lin Chuan recited the name silently, and the doubts in his heart had not subsided. He didn't know whether this music score was the same as what he heard 16 years ago, but his intuition made him alert, perhaps this is the most obvious at present. clues.
