When Jiang Ye'er was sitting in the police car that came to pick them up, she received a call from the coach she hadn't seen for a long time.
Jiang Yeer and Fan Xiao met at a gym after she graduated from college.
When Jiang Ye'er just graduated, her physical fitness was not good. The final physical education exam in her freshman year was the most painful for her. She could run the 800-meter long-distance run for five minutes, but she could barely finish the second lap. Her mouth was dry and her heart was pounding. Like it's going to explode.
After that, she entered the forensic center. She had no self-confidence because of her gender, so she had to start high-intensity exercise. She and Fan Xiao happened to be a coach, so it was a coincidence. After we exchanged experiences, our personalities were right, and gradually became friends.
Then Fan Xiao fell in love several times, and Jiang Yeer accompanied her every time she fell in love. Almost every time Fan Xiao fell in love, their relationship would rise to a higher level. This is how their friendship grew into a new one through mutual care and warmth. Now they are so inseparable, almost like the feelings of relatives.
There are many people in the gym, so it naturally becomes a place where gossip spreads quickly.
Fan Xiao's death was an abnormal death and he was murdered, so it spread even faster. Wang Yi, Jiang Ye'er's coach, heard about Fan Xiao every day in a place like the gym where people come and go frequently. .
A sales manager named Fan Xiao was murdered.
Wang Yi was shocked when she heard about it. Knowing that Jiang Ye'er and Fan Xiao had a good relationship, she immediately called to inquire after hearing the rumors.
"Yi Zi, I, Wang Yi, are the things about Xiaoxiao true?"
Jiang Ye'er looked confused, "What's going on? What kind of trick did she pull out again?"
"Ah? You don't know yet, or are you saying this is not true?" Wang Yi felt quite embarrassed. Her original intention was to ask if this was true, she should visit Fan Xiao's mother. After all, they We have known each other for a long time. Friendship does not lie in having many friends, but in knowing each other. Fan Xiaoren was a very kind person, and Wang Yi will always remember him in his heart.
"What? I don't know." Jiang Ye'er said doubtfully, "What's the matter?"
"That's probably what they spread." Wang Yi said apologetically: "They are all spreading rumors that Xiaoxiao had an accident."
Jiang Yeer frowned and felt her heart skip a beat, then beat faster and faster.
That's right, since her eyelids started twitching non-stop, she hasn't spoken to Fan Xiao until now. Zhang Yang picks up every time. Did something really happen
Jiang Ye'er's mind was spinning very fast. She coughed twice in a low voice and called Zhang Yang. Her voice was very soft, almost painfully soft, "Zhang Yang, I understand."
Zhang Yang couldn't help but explode. He really thought Jiang Ye'er already knew. He sighed to comfort her, "You still know... where are you... now?"
Jiang Yeer told the truth, "I just came back from the county town and am on my way back to the bureau."
"Then, if it's convenient for you, come to our rental house. Some of Xiaoxiao's things were taken away by her uncle and aunt. Some of them were burned to her. There are also some photos and souvenirs of yours. You can take them back."
When Jiang Ye'er heard "Some of it was burned for her", tears welled up in her eyes, "Zhang Yang, what do you mean? Where is Xiaoxiao?!"
Zhang Yang was startled, and then he realized that Jiang Ye'er didn't know about Fan Xiao yet, but now that the matter was at this point, he could no longer hide it, and sighed: "You can come over and talk about it later."
Jiang Ye'er will never forget that day. She jumped out of the police car and went straight to Fan Xiao's residence. When she opened the door, she saw a blinding eye.
Zhang Yang was dressed in black, leaning against the wall, holding a black-and-white photo of Fan Xiao in his hand.
Jiang Ye'er's head buzzed, her vision went dark, and her body swayed and she was about to fall down.
Zhang Yang stepped over in a few steps and helped her in time, "Yi Zi."
With her last strength, Jiang Ye'er grabbed Zhang Yang's wrist tightly, with tears streaming down her face, and kept saying: "No, no, Zhang Yang, tell me, nothing happened to Xiaoxiao, nothing happened!"
Zhang Yang burst into tears when Jiang Ye'er cried, and gently wiped the tears from his face with his fingers, "Shall we go and burn incense?"
Jiang Ye'er couldn't accept the fact. Her crying went from a suppressed muffled sound to getting louder and louder, until it was so loud that it was hysterical. She almost fainted from crying, and kept crying that she didn't believe it.
It was fine a few days ago. They had breakfast together, walked together, and watched movies together. She also smiled and said what she would do if Fan Xiao was gone.
How could a person who had lived a lifetime disappear suddenly
Fan Xiao's smiling face, angry face, Fan Xiao's clear love and hate, gentleness and kindness, everything is so real, but he left alone without leaving a word to her
Jiang Ye'er's face suddenly twitched, she squatted on the ground, pressed her chest, and groaned in pain.
"Ye Zi? What's wrong with you, Ye Zi?"
Jiang Yeer's face was covered with tears, cold sweat hung on her forehead, and she slowly uttered one word: "It hurts."
Zhang Yang saw that Jiang Ye'er's reaction was that she was shaking frequently in pain. It didn't look like she was overly sad, but that she was sick. Without any delay, he picked up Jiang Ye'er and went straight to the hospital.
The cause of Jiang Ye'er's illness was angina pectoris caused by successive stimulations. When Shi Jun rushed to the hospital, Jiang Ye'er was undergoing infusion and Zhang Yang stood aside apologetically.
Shi Jun looked at Zhang Yang's dark circles under his eyes and his body that had lost several pounds these days. He couldn't bear to blame him for letting Jiang Ye'er know about Fan Xiao. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, please." Go and do your work, I'll stay with you."
Zhang Yang glanced at the sleeping Jiang Ye'er worriedly, shook his head and sighed: "It's a good girl, you... take good care of her."
Ding Hao and Zhao Yuan went to Jiang Ye'er's hometown to look for clues about He Dong. He and Zheng Jie and Fan Fan were the only three people left here. The three of them had to do many things, and they were so tired that they only slept for four hours for several days in a row.
He moved a chair and sat in front of Jiang Ye'er's bed. He held his chin up and looked at the haggard Jiang Ye'er without blinking. After a while, he lay down in front of her bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up again, Jiang Ye'er had also woken up and was looking at him in a daze.
Because Zhang Yang attended the emergency room for Jiang Ye'er, he didn't change the ward after seeing the doctor. He was in the emergency room, so there were many beds and patients around.
When Shi Junyouyou woke up, a 30-year-old eldest sister in the hospital next to him said to him unhappily, "Your girlfriend has been awake for a long time, and you finally know she's awake? The doctor asked her to eat something, go quickly." buy it."
Shi Jun was embarrassed, shook Jiang Ye'er's hand, and asked softly, "What do you want to eat?"
Jiang Ye'er shook her head, her voice hoarse, "I can't eat it."
"You haven't eaten in six hours."
Jiang Ye'er still shook her head, "I'm not hungry."
It was impossible not to be hungry, and it might be true that he couldn't eat enough. Shi Jun had comforted the relatives of the deceased many times, and he also understood that in the face of this matter, they would end up saying meaningless things.
He stood up and said with a gentle smile: "You can sleep a little longer, and I'll buy you some porridge."
Jiang Yeer grabbed his wrist with her backhand and looked up at him, "Don't leave yet..."
"What's wrong?" Shi Junfu sat down and touched her forehead, "What's wrong?"
"Fan Xiao," Jiang Ye'er couldn't help but choke again after saying the name, "tell me what happened."
Shi Jun felt sorry for Jiang Ye'er, so much that he suddenly knew the feeling of angina pectoris.
When the incident first occurred, he thought about how sad Jiang Ye'er would be if she knew about it.
Now it seems that what he was most worried about has happened.
Jiang Ye'er lowered her eyes and listened silently as Shi Jun told her everything about Fan Xiao. By the time Shi Jun finished speaking, Jiang Ye'er's pillow was already soaked with tears.
"So, the murderer is still the same person?" Jiang Ye'er's voice trembled, and for a moment, self-blame and guilt surged into her heart, "The murderer is still targeting me. It was me who implicated Xiaoxiao..."
"Don't bite." Shi Jun touched Jiang Ye'er's lips, fearing that she would bite her lower lip and bleed. "If you feel uncomfortable, cry out. Don't hold it in."
Jiang Ye'er slowly opened her mouth and gradually whimpered.
Not only Shi Jun was worried about Jiang Ye'er, but Old Man Tang was also worried.
This was his beloved disciple. Even though he had scolded her before about Bai Wenrui, it was still out of concern.
After hearing about Jiang Ye'er's continuous irritation, he immediately ordered Shi Jun to take Jiang Ye'er back to his home and let his old couple take care of him.
Jiang Ye'er's angina was only temporary. The doctor prescribed medicine and she could be discharged from the hospital on the same day without hospitalization. Shi Jun sent Jiang Ye'er to Old Man Tang's home.
However, Jiang Ye'er's condition became worse and worse. She was often in a daze and became more and more taciturn. Old Tang had not seen Jiang Ye'er smile for a long time.
He has practiced law for decades, and he has a clear understanding of Jiang Ye'er's situation in his heart. He understands that Jiang Ye'er is unable to accept the facts, and blames herself for Fan Xiao's death because of her involvement.
I'm afraid if things continue to develop, Jiang Ye'er will need to see a psychiatrist.
"Ye Zi, is your annual leave coming to an end? Is it time to go back to work?" At the dining table, Old Man Tang put vegetables in a bowl for Jiang Ye'er.
Jiang Ye'er raised her head and shook her head, "Teacher, I want to resign."
"What?"
"Teacher, you see, the duty of the forensic doctor is to help Brother Ding and the others solve the case, but what did I do? I didn't find the murderer," Jiang Ye'er closed her eyes miserably, "and even killed Xiaoxiao."
Old Man Tang couldn't help but get angry, "Fan Xiao's death has nothing to do with you!"
Jiang Ye'er seemed too lazy to even argue now. She put down her chopsticks and said softly: "Teacher, I've finished eating. I'm going back to my room first."
Old Man Tang: "..."
"Jiang Ye'er, stop!"
Jiang Yeer turned her head, her eyes calm.
Old Man Tang looked at the lifeless Jiang Ye'er for a while, then sighed heavily, "Forget it, you go and have a rest. Let me know what you want for dinner."
The first snow in December lasted for two days, and there was a blanket of frost outside. In such a cold winter, Jiang Ye'er could stand outside in a daze all afternoon. When she came back, not only did her face and ears turn red from the cold, but she also Her feet were so cold that she lost consciousness, as if this kind of self-mutilation could make her feel better.
Old Man Tang and the two old men tried their best to take good care of Jiang Ye'er's body, but they could not make her mentally alive again and she was not in good health.
Sighing, Old Man Tang finally picked up the phone and called Bai Wenrui, "You... come and take Jiang Ye'er away. Even if you lie to her, please take good care of her until her spirit gets better."
That day, no one knew what Old Man Tang said to Bai Wenrui later.
In short, two hours later, Bai Wenrui appeared at Old Man Tang's home, tilted his head and smiled at Jiang Ye'er, his eyes gentle, "I'll pick you up."
