Where have you been? "
"At noon that day, after explaining about the assistant, I came out of Ren'an Hospital, went back to the hotel to have a light meal, and took a taxi to Huo Jiuan's company to pick up things around 1:00 pm. His company is in an office building on Barry Street. " Huo Changzhi recalled, "I left his company before two o'clock, took a taxi, and arrived at the bottom of Haichang Building in about 20 minutes."
"The hotel has surveillance cameras, and you can see the number plate of the taxi you got on," Xu Chu calculated, "How long did it take the hotel to go to his company?"
"Ten minutes," Huo Changzhi said, "the driver took the main road, and finally turned into Bally Street and parked under the building. I stayed in his company for more than half an hour before leaving, but..."
"But what?" Xu Chu asked alertly.
"When I went downstairs, it started to rain again," Huo Changzhi said. "I was standing waiting for a taxi, and a lady who was also taking a taxi held an umbrella for me. I put her in the taxi first, and she gave the umbrella to me." me."
"Oh," Xu Chu said jokingly, "Brother Huo is just Brother Huo, and you will find love affairs wherever you go."
Huo Changzhi continued: "It's a big black umbrella. If you open it up, you won't be able to see anyone. If you think the car that the lady got in is the car that I got in, the investigation may take some detours."
"The investigation must have taken a detour, thirty hours..." Xu Chu said softly, "You may think that there is plenty of food and a lot of time, but if the police can't find you, then every second we wait is wasted time."
Huo Changzhi wanted to refute him, but Xu Chu had already decided, "I don't want to put my life in someone else's hands and wait to die."
After thinking about it all night, Xu Chu thought that if something happened to him, Huo Changzhi would not be able to escape, and he would definitely die here. He didn't know how long he could last.
From the moment Huo Changzhi entered the door, things went weirdly unsatisfactory, and the habit of bad luck made him dare not be passive anymore.
"Let's have breakfast first," Xu Chu turned to Huo Changzhi and said.
Huo Changzhi reached out to support Xu Chu, and found that Xu Chu's exposed skin was very hot, so he put his hand on Xu Chu's forehead, which was abnormally hot.
Xu Chu impatiently grabbed Huo Changzhi's wrist and pulled his hand off: "Low fever, I'm fine."
Huo Changzhi's hands were strong and strong, how could a patient named Xu Chu pull him down.
"Don't you know that low-grade fever is good for thinking," Xu Chu began to cheat again, "Brother Huo, shall we have barbecued pork for lunch today?"
"You do it with your feet?" Huo Changzhi asked him, telling him to stand still, go to the first aid box and find a mercury thermometer, and ask Xu Chu to hold it.
Xu Chu was reluctant to open his mouth at first, Huo Changzhi pinched his cheek and stuffed the thermometer in, Xu Chu quickly opened his mouth, pressed the thermometer under his tongue, and said vaguely: "What if you bite it, it's mercury."
Huo Changzhi waited for three minutes, took it out, didn't know how to look at it, and held it up to the light for a long time.
Xu Chu was waiting for Huo Changzhi to scold him. After waiting for half a minute, Huo Changzhi didn't make a sound, and he knew: "Brother Huo, you don't know how to read a mercury thermometer?"
Huo Changzhi finally turned to the correct angle, found the mercury line, looked at the scale, and said coldly: "Thirty-eight degrees seven."
"My body temperature is on the high side," Xu Chu pretended, "The basal body temperature is thirty-seven and a half degrees."
"Pregnant women's body temperature is less than thirty-seven and a half degrees," Huo Changzhi ruthlessly exposed him, "you'd better take some antipyretics and wait for death."
Xu Chu turned his head aside, decided to save the country in a curve, follow Huo Changzhi first, wait until Huo Changzhi loses vigilance, then discuss it later.
09:00 am
The medicines in room 1603 were still complete, but Huo Changzhi didn't know if aspirin and Billy's pain could be mixed together, so after breakfast, he studied the medicine instructions over and over again.
Xu Chu was bored waiting on the sidelines, his fingers were itchy and painful, presumably it was not just a problem of inflammation, he never knew that his body was so delicate, there was no comfortable place from top to bottom, and Feeling flustered.
"It should be edible," Huo Changzhi poured water for Xu Chu, and put the pill in Xu Chu's palm.
Xu Chu swallowed the pill and said to himself, "After taking the medicine, I feel much better."
The other talking man in the house ignored him.
"There is still a piece of meat in the refrigerator, I don't know if it is plum blossom meat," Xu Chu said again, "I haven't eaten barbecued pork for a long time."
After a while, Xu Chu still didn't give up: "It's actually very simple to make barbecued pork."
Huo Changzhi was so entangled by Xu Chu that he couldn't let Xu Chu do anything, so he couldn't let him eat meat. It's okay anyway, it's good to find something to attract Xu Chu's attention.
He found the meat from the refrigerator. The meat that Xu Chu said was placed in a white foam plate, wrapped in plastic wrap, with the product name, price and barcode on it, saying "pork belly", thirty-nine yuan one serving.
"What should I do?" Huo Changzhi removed the plastic wrap and asked Xu Chu.
When Xu Chu achieved his goal, he was very happy: "Slice first, why don't you let me do it?"
Huo Changzhi put the meat on the cutting board, picked out a knife, and put it on the meat.
His hands have only cut medium-rare steaks and raw beef sashimi, but he has never cut such thick raw meat, but there is always a first time in everything. Huo Changzhi made a knife and didn't cut it.
"It can't be cut." He told Xu Chu calmly.
Xu Chu frowned: "What? Oh, did you take the wrong knife?"
He came over to touch the knife with his left hand open, and Huo Changzhi carefully held Xu Chu's hand, touching the handle and the back of the knife: "Isn't it this one?"
Xu Chu was pissed off by him: "Brother Huo, this is a vegetable knife!"
"The knife of this size is also for cutting steak." Huo Changzhi said.
Xu Chu shook his head, withdrew his hand, and was about to say something when he suddenly smelled a strange smell.
"You bring me the meat to smell," he said.
Huo Changzhi picked up the piece of pork belly and put it under Xu Chu's nose.
"The meat is spoiled, can't you smell it?" Xu Chu said, "It's been left for too long."
Xu Chu's mood suddenly sank.
Finally, Huo Changzhi cooked a pot of rice, and the two ate in silence.
It's been too long, these three words were scratched on Xu Chu's heart like a blade, the wounds were very thin and numerous, just like his fingertips, there was a maddening pain and itching.
01:00pm
Xu Chu sneaked into the study room while Huo Changzhi was washing the dishes, took out a design drawing from the file bag with his left hand, and stroked the pen marks left by Huo Jiuan with his fingertips with difficulty.
He touched it very seriously, and as his perception deepened, his face became more serious, and Huo Changzhi didn't notice it when he walked up to him.
"Xu Chu, what did you say to me twenty minutes ago?"
Teacher Xu's hand was held down by Huo Changzhi.
After swallowing the medicine for noon, Xu Chu took the initiative to tell Huo Changzhi that he was going to lie on the bed for two hours, and told Brother Huo to wash the dishes without worry.
He originally wanted to steal the blueprint back to the room, but when he took it out and touched it, he found out doubts.
Xu Chu protested with a guilty conscience: "There is something wrong with the design of the handcuffs, let me study it again..."
Huo Changzhi folded the drawings and stuffed them into a paper bag: "Your body temperature is even more problematic."
Unconvinced, Xu Chu came to the bedroom and took his temperature again with the thermometer in his mouth.
Huo Changzhi bullied Xu Chu that he couldn't see it, so he insisted on reading thirty-seven degrees and eight degrees into thirty-nine degrees, saying that Xu Chu's 0.3 degrees were raised in the study.
"Huo Changzhi!" Xu Chu was angrily stuffed into the quilt by Huo Changzhi, and even Brother Huo stopped calling, "If you have the ability, take me a thermometer that can report the number."
Huo Changzhi is a man of hard work, so he wrapped Xu Chu tightly, and only had to tie him up with a rope: "Sleep for a while."
Ever since he lost his sight, Xu Chu fell asleep a lot easier. His whole body was pitch black, which was much more effective than wearing an eye mask. At this time, the effect of the medicine also came up, and he was really sleepy. In a daze, he even felt that the electric shock on his hands and feet had weakened. The discomfort was finally overwhelmed by fatigue, and Xu Chu slowly fell asleep.
Huo Changzhi observed Xu Chu, and seeing that he was really asleep, he went to the study.
In Baiduoping's house, there were two different rooms, and the door could be heard with the door open. Huo Changzhi was paying attention to the sound in the bedroom while searching aimlessly in the study.
What Xu Chu said last night reminded him that he wanted to reconfirm Huo Jiuan's motive.
Can a person's last wish before death be used for calculation? Huo Changzhi thought otherwise.
He replayed Huo Jiuan's expressions and words on the hospital bed over and over again in his mind. At that time, Huo Jiuan was undoubtedly anxious, and sincerely wanted Huo Changzhi to find Xu Chu and bring him out safely and intact.
But why didn't he remind himself that this is a prison-like secret room? The only explanation is that from Huo Jiu'an's point of view, Room 1603, Block B, Haichang Building is not that indestructible.
Where is this cognitive error
Huo Changzhi went to the study, looking for items related to the past of Huo Jiuan and Xu Chu, but Xu Chu refused to say, maybe it was not a very good memory. But without knowing the cause and effect, and without sharing information between the two parties, the mystery will never be solved.
As Xu Chu said, if the investigation is deadlocked, every second he and Xu Chu spend waiting is a waste of time. Xu Chu's wound on his hand is serious and his physical condition is also poor. good.
After searching around, there was nothing useful, so Huo Changzhi turned on the computer again and found some interesting things.
He moved those things into the same folder, and when Xu Chu's eyes recovered, he would definitely like them.
03:00pm
Huo Changzhi walked back to the bedroom, wanting to see how Xu Chu was sleeping. When he walked in, Xu Chu was no longer on the bed.
He was standing against one of the bedroom walls, pressing his face against the wall.
Huo Changzhi coughed, Xu Chu slightly raised his face, looked in the direction of the sound, and looked at Huo Changzhi
