At 5:20 in the morning, in Fawang District, the villa hotel where Devo Eves stayed was heavily guarded.
This is the meeting point of day and night. The moonlight has not completely disappeared, and the other side of the vast horse farm has already revealed the fish maw white.
Behind the villa building, a uniquely colored starry sky blue shuttle was parked on the forest road. Young Master Qiao was holding the door and answering the communication by pressing the ear button with one hand.
He had a bit of insomnia in the past two days, and he couldn't sleep well all night. His spirit has been in a strange excitement, and it is unclear why.
Maybe after going around for more than 20 years, I finally stood on the same front with my father. Maybe it was because Ke Jin's state was good and bad, he was very anxious. Maybe it was because they clenched the Manson brothers' exposed tail step by step.
Or maybe all three.
He slept intermittently until 3 am, and sat alone on the balcony adjacent to Ke Jin's bedroom for more than two hours. In the end, he quietly transferred his own shuttle car, intending to take two laps to vent.
As soon as the door opened, I received this communication.
It was Gu Yan who dialed the number, but he only said, "We found something related to Ke Jin." Then he handed over the call to Dr. Lin Yuan.
"Lawyer Ke's cause has been found."
Doctor Lin Yuan said a simple sentence, but Qiao stopped all movements instantly.
"What did you say?" He stayed for a long time, and asked suddenly.
"I said—" Lin Yuan on the other end of the communication repeated patiently and solemnly: "Just now, less than a minute ago, we found the cause of lawyer Ke Jin."
There was another dazed silence for Joe.
After a long time, he asked again, "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"It's not that kind of..." Joe squeezed his fingers as he held the car door. "The possibility of less than 50%, turning around will be overturned? To be honest, I have heard this kind of speculation no less than a hundred times, every time —"
He looked at Ke Jin's empty balcony, was silent for two seconds, and said in a low voice, "Every time there is no result."
"It's not a guess." Lin Yuan's voice had the characteristics of a doctor, gentle but steady, with a convincing certainty: "Very clear cause."
Joe suddenly lost his voice.
Clearly, there will be no more wrong causes.
For such a sentence, he wandered around for several years without a clue. He could not count how many times he had been disappointed and chased to the point of exhaustion, but he did not expect to suddenly get an answer on such an unusual morning.
"Joe?" Doctor Lin Yuan shouted uncertainly.
Qiao pinched the bridge of her nose and quickly blinked a few times, then exhaled softly: "What's the cause, you say."
Lin Yuan: "We just found a fragment in lawyer Ke Jin's gene, which is consistent with the L3 gene fragment."
"What does the L3 gene segment mean?"
"Oh, that's right." Lin Yuan briefly explained how he took out the gene fragments in Yan Suizhi's body and used the analyzer to make trajectory predictions to calculate the research results of the Manson Brothers over the years.
"For the convenience of reference, I set the source of the fragment in Dean Yan's body as the initial result L1 type. According to the predicted trajectory, the gene fragment in Lawyer Ke Jin's body should belong to the third stage result, so it is called the L3 type. The Shaking Weng Case Victims also have L3-type fragments…”
"Victims of the Shake Shack Weng case? You mean those old people whose organs have failed and who have received critical illness notices one after another?" Joe's face was extremely ugly.
Lin Yuan sighed, hesitating for two seconds, but replied: "Yes, their medical records are actually very similar. I preliminarily inferred that this gene fragment can cause people to overreact to some common drug ingredients. This is like a special kind of medicine. of allergies, the average person eats something that is fine, but it is poisonous to them. This can lead to a series of problems, such as…”
Lin Yuan didn't go on, but Qiao understood.
For example, like the old people in the case of Ke Jin or Shaoxing Weng, who suddenly collapsed and lost their minds,
Even more serious, life and death are hard to say.
A young lawyer who was originally high-spirited, standing in court to defend his eyes will have warm and bright eyes, just because of this kind of thing, this kind of insidious thing, in just a few days, it has become that kind of person. appearance.
Sleeping always curled up against the corner of the wall, the slightest change will cause anxiety and restlessness, unable to concentrate, unable to understand words, not saying a word.
It was like a pair of invisible hands that forcibly closed the door to the outside world, forcing him to stand alone and helpless in a cramped and silent world.
Maybe every time his anxiety gets out of control, he is trying to smash that door open
Just thinking about this makes Joe go mad with misery.
Because he, as the person standing outside the door, tried hard for a long time but could not find the door lock.
Joe's fingers clutched the cold door, raising and lowering it.
He grabbed his hair and spun around aimlessly twice before punching the car door.
Metal hard enough to be bulletproof slammed into his bones, the pain piercing through the bones, and it could travel down the nerves all the way to the depths of the heart.
It seems that only in this way can the anger and sadness that have nowhere to vent can be eased a little.
"You-hey? Joe, are you okay? What are you doing?" Lin Yuan was taken aback by the movement here, "You calm down first! Hello?"
He worried over there for a long time, and then murmured to the people next to him: "What should I do if I start smashing things? I can hear the bones through the ear buckle. I will tell him after a while!"
Joe's knuckle was torn, and blood quickly oozes out.
He raised his hand again, and before it fell, a voice came from a balcony above his head: "Smash, smash Ke Jin again, maybe he will wake up, use some force."
Joe's hand suddenly tightened, but followed the inertia and silently reached the door.
The open wound was stabbed by the cold metal, and the pain was extremely sharp.
He looked up at the source of the voice, and saw his sister Eunice wrapped in a nightgown, turning her head to talk to someone, and throwing at him, "Wait and don't move!"
Soon, Eunice pulled his slippers and ran out, and then the assistant chased after him with the medicine box.
"I said get a bottle of spray and two band-aids, why are you so solemn?" Eunice buried her head in picking through the medicine cabinet, grabbed Joe's hand, and shook it with the healing spray." endure."
After a while of spraying, this medicine works very well, so that the bloodshot wound can only be left with scabs for a long time. The only disadvantage is that it is spicy.
In the past, Master Qiao would exaggerately scream in order to gain Ke Jin's attention. But at this moment, he didn't say a word, watching the sprays fall on the wound without even blinking.
"You were awakened by me?" Joe's voice was a little hoarse.
It's strange that he didn't say a word, and he didn't even shout out because of the discomfort, but his voice was low and hoarse.
Eunice gave a rare tenderness, and carefully placed the pain-relieving and healing Band-Aid on his joint wound, "No, I woke up before you smashed the car. Gu sent me a message."
Joe: "What?"
"He said, you must hope that you know about Ke Jin as soon as possible, so I will tell you as soon as possible. But I don't think your mood will be very good, so let me help you look at it."
Joe nodded.
"Stupid people have stupid blessings, and they are really good at making friends." Eunice said.
Joe nodded again.
He was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Sister."
"Huh?" Eunice responded.
"I'm fine, you go to sleep." Joe kept his head down in order to cooperate with her. It wasn't until the wound was healed that he straightened up and wrapped his coat around Eunice, "I'll go to the ivy."
Eunice: "I've called you sister, are you all right?"
Joe: "It's weird, I thought when I heard something like this, I would drive the shuttle straight to Manson Manor regardless, get some banned drugs, such as injectable poison or something, take Milo Manson. Sen or Brewer Manson on the ground, pinching their necks, pushing those pills into their veins bit by bit, watching them cramp, struggle, go mad, inhuman. I thought I would, but It's strange that I would deny these ideas myself, and then convince myself to nail them to the court one by one with the law and evidence."
Eunice looked at him, smiled lightly, and raised her chin on an empty balcony, "This shows that my foolish brother was deeply influenced by some lawyers and finally learned something."
"Um."
"You who have been stupid for more than 30 years can be saved. How can a lawyer who has been smart for nearly 30 years not get better, right?" Eunist paused, then glanced at another place, and said : "Look, even the shrewd and wise Mr. Eves agrees, what are you worried about?"
Joe turned to follow her gaze.
Father Devore Evers was leaning against the balcony at some point, holding a coffee cup, his gray-blue eyes were shallow and bright.
Qiao suddenly regained his energy and returned to the always energetic young master Qiao.
He sent Eunice back upstairs, then strode to Ke Jin's bedroom, put his injured hand behind him, and gently opened the door.
Ke Jin was still curled up in the quilt, against the wall, and fell asleep quietly, unaware of everything.
Joe blinked his eyes, suppressed the original red heat, and bent his bright blue eyes, as he had done thousands of mornings over the years, and said to the people in the bedroom, "Good morning."
Again, as in the past thousands of mornings, there was no response.
Joe added: "I have to go to the hospital. Maybe this time there will be a result. Are you happy?"
He paused, then said, "No matter what, you will be fine. There will be a day, I promise."
