Controlled experiment

Du Yusheng has never been a pessimistic person. He always feels that as long as you want to do, there is nothing you can't do, as long as you want to understand, there is nothing you can't know.

But now, Du Yusheng looked at the heavy stack of documents left by Xiaobai, and he suddenly felt that he was going around in an alley, which was still a dead end.As Xiaobai said, the person most likely to have the motive and conditions for committing the crime is this living child.But this person didn't have any clues, except that he was supposed to be older than himself from the photos, this person seemed to have evaporated, as if he had never existed.

You obviously know the suspect and the possible murderer, but you can't find him, which makes Du Yusheng feel frustrated and uncomfortable.

Lying heavily on the hospital bed, his body, which had just been tortured, was so painful to death by this action, but Du Yusheng didn't cry out, he stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, thinking, why would someone disappear without a trace, Disappeared until not a single photo remained.

As long as you have existed, there will be a life trajectory. This is a law.

If a person can't even find the track of his life, Du Yusheng thought of a possibility that the track of this person's life has been deleted artificially, someone deliberately deleted the information of this person, this thought made Du Yusheng break out in a cold sweat, He knows that the only people who can do this are those within them.

But there is also a second possibility that this person's life trajectory is covered by another person, his identity is taken up by another person, or he takes up another person's identity.

Du Yusheng looked at the ceiling and sighed.

He felt more and more that this person was by his side.

===

When Li Yao walked into the ward, Du Yusheng was staring at the ceiling above his head in a daze.

Du Yusheng randomly threw the information files that Xiaobai left behind on the table next to him. In fact, most of the paper materials were in Du Yusheng's mind, and Du Yusheng knew what was written on them without looking at them.

Seeing Li Yao coming in, Du Yusheng half sat up while supporting the auxiliary device next to him.

He looked at Li Yao and smiled.

It seems that it has been a long time since I saw Li Yao at work. He was wearing a white coat with almost no stains. Although the shirt inside was old-fashioned and awkward, it unexpectedly suited this man. Glasses, looking clean and refined, with a gentle look.

Li Yao is not the kind of person who often wears glasses, but Du Yusheng bumped into him every time he wore them.

In my impression, there seemed to be no flustered expression on this person's face, but this time, Du Yusheng saw an inexplicable expression on Li Yao's face.

It's more like... than worrying.

curious.

This is almost an expression that does not belong to Li Yao.

Du Yusheng smiled again.

He joked: "Sometimes I think my mother was right in naming me, and I survived a desperate situation, and the bombs didn't do anything to me."

Li Yao didn't answer, but approached Du Yusheng and lowered his head to look carefully at the wound on his head. Today's Li Yao is very strange, with a faint smell of perfume on his body, and the way he looks at the wound is also very strange, too carefully. , so careful that he even lifted Du Yusheng's clothes to see if there were other wounds under the clothes.

"I didn't expect that either." Li Yao took a step back and leaned on the accompanying bed, looked at Du Yusheng with a slight smile, and said, "I didn't expect that even the bombs can't help you. Life is really big."

Du Yusheng was stunned.

There was a little embarrassment on his face.

"Actually, I have been waiting for you at the door." Li Yao slowly paced around Du Yusheng, and said, "There are so many people in your ward, I can only wait outside when I come, I think It's not convenient for me to come in and see you, so I'll just wait."

It sounded like a warm word.

Du Yusheng felt uncomfortable.

"...You are a doctor, why is it not convenient to come in?"

"That's right." Li Yao nodded and smiled, and continued, "How do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Du Yusheng clicked his tongue and pointed to his whole body.

He smiled wryly and said, "It hurts, my whole body hurts now, even if I blink my eyes. I've never felt such pain before."

Li Yao went over and pressed the gauze on top of Du Yusheng's head. He withdrew his hand in satisfaction when he heard the other party's groan, touched the gauze again, and then pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose to leave.

He found that the lighting in Du Yusheng's ward was very good, and he could almost see the whole hospital from the window. It was probably because there was some air-conditioning near the window. Li Yao covered his mouth and coughed twice, left that position, and sat back to accompany the nurse. bed.

The documents left by Xiaobai on Du Yusheng's desk looked thick and stacked, which was a bit eye-catching.

Li Yao pointed and said, "I heard from your colleague that you have been suspended?"

Du Yusheng cursed and spit out a few words: "It should be called, everyone betrays their relatives."

Li Yao smiled.

Du Yusheng continued: "I didn't kill Zhao Liang at all. If I really wanted to kill him, I wouldn't involve myself in it. Now they suspend me based on an inexplicable video, isn't it fucking ridiculous? What motive do I have for killing him, what good do I gain?"

Li Yao pushed his glasses, raised Erlang's legs, and said, "...you didn't kill him, then someone else did."

This can be said to have touched Du Yusheng's heart.

It was inconvenient for one foot to hurt, so Du Yusheng had to lean on the auxiliary device and move to the side of the bed, staring at Li Yao, and said, "Yes, someone else killed him."

Li Yao raised his eyebrows: "Is there anyone you suspect?"

"Jingwen's son who is still alive." Du Yusheng said, "There is no such coincidence that five people died one after another in one photo. The one who has the most motive and the most conditions is this child who is still alive. Luo Daheng, Chen Xin, these people are all on the photo, what a coincidence. He wants revenge, these people ruined his life, ruined everything about him, he hates, he hates his father for losing himself as a bet, He hates all the people involved in the game even more."

"Hate? I've been hated for decades, and I'm tired of it." Li Yao shook his head and smiled suddenly, "These people deserved to die, but someone appeared to end their lives."

Li Yao added: "Sometimes life is a multiple-choice question. Every choice you make has a different result. The ending is already doomed. It was already doomed when you did the first question. People, the first card they played was already doomed to end in death."

Du Yusheng was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Li Yao's words. The meaning of these words was a bit distorted, which didn't please his ears.

Li Yao also felt that he had talked too much, pushed his glasses, and said, "Actually, your goal is very clear now, which is to find Jing Wen, a child who is still alive."

Du Yusheng sighed, and said, "I've been suspended now. I'm really free. I can do whatever I want. I don't believe that he can really disappear?"

Li Yao pursed his lips and nodded, "Then look for it carefully, maybe he's by your side."

Du Yusheng looked at Li Yao, and he suddenly had a feeling that the person who came today was not Li Yao.

Not Li Yao.

But someone else.

There was an inexplicable chill in my heart.

But the multiple-choice question Li Yao just said reminded him of one thing.

Du Yusheng rubbed his nose, belatedly picked up the phone from under his buttocks.

The text message on the phone is still there.

"Please choose number from 1-7."

Du Yusheng looked at his phone, then at Li Yao, and said, "1-7, which number do you like?"

This Li Yao suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

A smile that made Du Yusheng feel very uncomfortable.

In fact, from the moment he entered the door, this Li Yao had only one purpose, which was to let Du Yusheng choose what he should choose.

"2?" he replied.

Du Yusheng stared at the screen of his mobile phone, and quickly tapped the number 2 on it.

Ten seconds later, the second reading comprehension message came from the phone.

"Please choose number from 1-7 again."

again?

Look at what this means, like re-election?

Du Yusheng looked at Li Yao and said, "Choose another one, except 2."

Li Yao's smile widened this time: "Then 4?"

Du Yusheng sent the number 4 with his mouth puffed out.

Text message replies were much slower this time than last time.

Almost a minute later, Du Yusheng received the third text message. This time it was not a reading comprehension, but a short-answer question.

"Welcometoroom4."

Du Yusheng seemed to recall something. In his impression, before Zhao Liang died, he also received a similar text message. What did the text message say?Just raised his head to tell Li Yao about it, but found that he had left the ward while he was waiting for a text message.

Li Yao walked suddenly.

Du Yusheng was the only one left in the empty ward.

One person, one cell phone, one text message.

Du Yusheng felt that he would receive a fourth text message.

And this one should be a coordinate.

=====

Xiaobai sighed and walked out of Du Yusheng's ward, and Li Yao was standing at the door of the ward.

To be honest, there are not many opportunities for Xiaobai to look at Li Yao carefully like this. He is wearing a white coat with almost no trace of stain, which is both elegant and clean. Although the shirt inside is old-fashioned, it unexpectedly matches this person well.In Li Yao's chest pocket was his own work card with his professional title and name marked on it. Looking at it this way, he was really a good doctor who dedicated himself to serving patients.

"Finished?" Li Yao said.

Xiaobai nodded.

After all, the door of the ward is not a place to talk, so Li Yao led Xiao Bai to his office.

In my impression, this was the first time Xiaobai came to Li Yao's place to work, but he didn't have the heart to look around, so he stood obediently in front of Li Yao, watched Li Yao take off his white coat and hang it on the hanger next to him, and closed the door. The door of the office, sitting opposite him.

To be honest, although Li Yao's face has always been amiable, Xiaobai is quite afraid of Li Yao.

This fear is not physical, but more psychological.

"Do you still remember what Erju transferred you to say?" Li Yao said.

Xiaobai raised his head to look at Li Yao, thought about his choice of words, and said, "Erju said that I should cooperate with Mr. Li's work, and let me..." Xiaobai looked down at his toes, feeling guilty. Said, "Let me protect Du Yusheng."

Li Yao smiled lightly.

"Just remember."

The gentle smile and the few words that are neither painful nor itchy almost hit Xiaobai's brain nerves.

Apart from nodding, he didn't dare to say a single extra word.

Li Yao took a cup of hot water and placed it in front of Xiao Bai.

"Is Mr. Du still there?"

"Yes." Xiaobai said, "Same as Zhuang Hao, both are in Africa... farming in Africa..."

Li Yao nodded, and twirled his fingers around the rim of the cup.

"Find someone you can trust and bring Mr. Du back." After thinking for a while, Li Yao added, "Zhuang Hao can wait a little longer."

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "...Then should I tell Brother Yu? He always thought that Mr. Du..."

"If you want Mr. Du to die again, tell him."

Li Yao looked at Xiao Bai with a cold face, and didn't say any more words about this matter.

==

After saying goodbye to Xiaobai, Li Yao rubbed his temples and returned to the ward.

He thought about going to see Du Yusheng as soon as possible. Although the doctor with him said that Du Yusheng's illness was fine, Li Yao still couldn't let it go before he checked it himself.

When he walked to the door of the ward, the head nurse at the nurse station in the ward suddenly stopped Li Yao.

"Doctor Li, didn't you just leave here? Why did you come back again? Did you leave something?"

Li Yao was stunned.

"You said I just went out from here?"

"That's right," the head nurse nodded with a smile, "You've been talking to the patients inside for quite a while."

There was a bang in my head.

Li Yao's body preceded his mind, and Du Yusheng's ward was not far away, within a few steps, Li Yao almost ran to open the door of the ward.

Du Yusheng was the only one empty in the ward, and he was sitting in the middle of the bed looking at his mobile phone.

Seeing someone coming in, Du Yusheng looked up.

"Why are you back again? You didn't even say a word when you left."

Du Yusheng picked up the phone and shook it in front of Li Yao's eyes, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Li Yao, I seem to be involved in a game."

Li Yao gasped and looked at Du Yusheng.

The latter raised his mobile phone and said, "Death game? In this game, people will die."
