When Shen Liufei stepped into the ward, he saw this scene.

Xie Lanshan raised his head when he heard the sound and smiled: "Cousin Xiao Shen."

Only then did I remember that I was "bitten" by the girls, and I quickly reached out to wipe it.

Shen Liufei's eyes froze, his eyes lit up slightly, as if he was amazed by Xie Lanshan with pigtails for a moment, then he walked towards him, returning to his usual indifferent expression.

After being transferred out of the ICU, Xie Lanshan was transferred to the Gaogan Intensive Care Unit. He paid more than 3,000 yuan a day, and he couldn't afford the meager salary of a public servant. Don't point to the city bureau for reimbursement. The nurses told Xie Lanshan that the person who paid for his treatment and hospitalization was Shen Liufei.

They really thought that Shen Liufei was his cousin. It's just that this cousin seems to be younger. Xie Lanshan looked at him as a good young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, but Shen Liufei looked very much like a college student who had not yet graduated, even though he had a mature temperament, tall and beautiful.

"I'm in good spirits, it doesn't seem to be a big problem?" Shen Liufei came to Xie Lanshan, and several nurses around him got up one after another. They were caught by the patient's family and were caught by the patient's family.

"It's alright." Xie Lanshan has been sitting on the bed playing cards with people, raising his head and stretching his arms, looking very comfortable. Seeing that the little nurse who hasn't been punished also stood up, he pursed his lips and tapped with his fingers, using his lips to speak. Say to her: I owe it.

The little nurse blushed, held back her laughter, and turned to go. Busy, her job is to monitor patients 24 hours a day, but Xie Lanshan is easy-going, far less troublesome than other patients.

"Shen-"

Shen Liufei came to him, before Xie Lanshan finished speaking, the other's fingers had already touched his cheek.

As he stroked and moved with his fingers, Xie Lanshan felt goose bumps on his back, and his face also burned.

He had heard Tao Longyue mention that after the car accident, he was in a coma on the spot and his breathing stopped for a while, but it was Shen Liufei who rescued him in time so that he could survive until the ambulance arrived and save his life.

This is a timely and rainy kindness, how should it be repaid? Xie Lanshan looked up at Shen Liufei, his eyes condensed from one of his face to his lips, and he thought beyond bounds. Shen Liufei was calm as usual, his eyelids were drooping, his expression was solemn, his slender fingers slid on Xie Lanshan's bright red and soft lips, and then he slid to the edge of his cheek, and gently touched a bright red lip print he had just missed with his thumb. wipe away.

"Then what, I really don't pay you the money I owe you." After calculating the expenses in the hospital for the past two weeks, Xie Lanshan smiled slyly, "Do you mind, I will rest for two more days. , let’s pay for it in one go.”

Shen Liufei curled the corners of his mouth slightly, his fingers swam, and then he pinched Xie Lanshan's chin, and looked at him lightly: "You are worth so much?"

"It's worth it, why isn't it worth it? Isn't it all said in the news, I'm the most beautiful police officer in China." People are always kind and forgetful. The last time he saw the news, everyone criticized them, but this time he sacrificed himself to save others. , the same group of people changed their tune to call him a hero overnight. But in front of others, he didn't take this "feat" seriously, and when he met Shen Liufei, he couldn't help but want to show it off. Xie Lanshan said, "You should have seen how good my driving skills are when you were at the scene, and how handsome my posture is when I drive over the overhead."

"No," Shen Liufei denied rudely, "I only saw a man who was hit half-dead, with limb convulsions and urinary incontinence caused by intracranial hemorrhage—"

The three nurses all laughed, such an unimaginable scene.

"Cough," Xie Lanshan quickly coughed twice, interrupting the girls' indecent thoughts, and asked Shen Liufei on another topic, "How is Li Rui's case?"

"He has collapsed," Shen Liufei said, "and he has no intention of fighting the police any more."

At this time, the case will be considered as dust and dust, and the two of them didn't talk for a while before Tao Longyue came in. He didn't come empty-handed, so he brought a bag of apples and a bag of pears to Xie Lanshan, and asked the nurse if she had a fruit knife. He wanted to cut the fruit for his old friend himself. The little nurse didn't answer, but instead shouted, "You can't send apples and raw pears when visiting a doctor. Apple is homophonic for 'die of illness', and raw pears mean 'birth and separation', which is too unlucky."

"Is there still such a statement?" Tao Longyue turned his head and glanced at Xie Lanshan, thinking of Xie Lanshan's serious injury that day, he was flustered but his mouth was stubborn, "His life is hard, his car rolled over and he didn't die, how can he still be killed by this feudal superstition? "

With a glance at Shen Liufei, Tao Longyue added solemnly, "Mr. Shen, thank you for saving this kid's life."

"Where," Shen Liufei said, "it should be."

That day, Tao Longyue first learned the news of Xie Lanshan's crash, but when he rushed to the hospital after finishing his official duties, he found that Shen Liufei had already been sitting outside the operating room.

On the plastic chair commonly found in hospitals, Shen Liufei closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall. There was blood on his face, on his hands, hair, and clothes.

Tao Longyue rushed up to greet him and asked him about Xie Lanshan's situation. Shen Liufei slowly opened his eyes, as if he heard his words, but didn't say a word. His demeanor was unprecedentedly tired and a little sad, as if he was the one who was hit hard.

Later, I heard from the nurse who went to the scene with the ambulance that when Xie Lanshan was put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital, he was very calm, like falling asleep. If it wasn't for a blob of blood coming out of his ear canal, you would really think he just fell asleep.

Later, Tao Longyue wanted to accompany the night. Xie Lanshan's mother was in a mental hospital, and there was no relative by her side. Captain Tao was worried that the nurses would not take good care of him, so he directly brought the case file into the ward. He said to Shen Liufei, Mr. Shen didn't close his eyes for the past two days, it was really hard, and I will take care of Alan from now on.

Shen Liufei looked at Tao Longyue intently, and said in a polite and unquestionable tone, "No, I'll come.

Tao Longyue was intimidated by Shen Liufei's strange attitude at the time, and left without saying a word. In retrospect, it was very absurd that an outsider who had known Xie Lanshan for less than a month actually regarded him as an outsider.

But when Xie Lanshan woke up after a dangerous period, Shen Liufei disappeared. I took a few days off, and it is said that I flew to the United States.

Tao Longyue didn't just come here to visit the patient. He habitually lit a cigarette, and before he had time to take a puff, he was scolded by the sharp-sighted nurse, and he was not allowed to smoke in the ward.

"You little girl! It's so unpleasant to talk about a case without a cigarette!" Tao Longyue hurriedly pinched the cigarette, and the bird faded out of his mouth. He picked up an apple and wiped it on his clothes.

"Talk about the case?" Xie Lanshan asked, "Is there a follow-up to Li Rui's case?"

"It's not Li Rui, it's Lang Li." Tao Longyue's face became solemn and brought bad news. Lang Li died and was raped and killed while traveling by car in Laos.

"Lang Li just died like this?" Xie Lanshan was puzzled, "Why did she die in Laos? Shouldn't she still be under criminal detention?"

Tao Longyue said: "The case has been withdrawn and the person has been released."

Shen Liufei frowned slightly: "Arson is also one of the eight major crimes, why do you let people go so easily?"

Tao Longyue sighed lightly: "Liu Bureau personally said to release the person, saying that the circumstances were obviously minor, so a little hard drive was burned, and the case was not filed."

Xie Lanshan didn't speak, and seemed quite dissatisfied with Liu Yanbo's handling.

"The police in Laos contacted us and passed some information over, saying that the murderer has been arrested. He is a mentally handicapped person. Take a look." Tao Longyue finished, and handed a document bag to Xie Lanshan, which contained some cases. Photographs and testimonials were found at the scene. Xie Lanshan took out the photos and took a closer look. After seeing one, he handed one to Shen Liufei beside him.

In the photo, Lang Li was naked and had her throat slit. The picture was very bloody.

"Although our country has jurisdiction, it is difficult and troublesome to implement in practice. The Laotian police will be polite to you." Tao Longyue said, "Maybe this is the 'late justice' that is often said, because Lang Li's instigation Li Rui killed Cong Ying's family, and in the end she got the retribution herself."

Shen Liufei did not comment on this, and Xie Lanshan also remained silent. Judging from the materials, the Lao police determined the case sharply, arrested people quickly, and there was no problem with the case itself. But things like "karma and karma" and "late justice" are still weird and mysterious.

Just after eating half of the apple, Captain Tao was called away by a phone call from his subordinates. Before going out, he turned around again and solemnly taught Xie Lanshan: "Don't forget to cut your hair when you leave the hospital. You will let the old man see you like this. I'll let you write an inspection!"

"You Captain Tao is too careless." Shen Liufei picked up a photo on the ground and looked at it, his brows tightened, and he held it between his fingers and handed it to Xie Lanshan.

Tao Long jumped away, leaving with the information, but left a photo of Lang Li's body. Xie Lanshan didn't see this picture just now, but when he saw it now, he was shocked.

In the photo, there is a black tattoo on the lower abdomen of Lang Li, which is located under the navel and above the private parts of women. It is a strange religious totem-like symbol connecting the two flowered English letters - MK.
