CHAPTER XVI

In the evening, in the conference room of the village committee, Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng gathered together in front of the laptop to read the email sent by Yu Zhi to Wu Litao's mailbox, the general content of the email was that after Liu Lizhen's father died, Liu Lizhen lived with her mother in her stepfather's house for a period of time, and her stepfather had two older brothers, one of whom was intellectually defective. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLiu Lizhen began to live in high school, and after graduation, she worked as a salesman in the county agricultural materials company for three months, and then returned to Dawang Village, where she almost cut off contact with her mother and stepfather's family in recent years, and rarely visited during the New Year's holidays.

Judging from this information, Liu Lizhen's personal experience is not complicated, but as a girl who has not yet married, it stands to reason that she should continue to live with her mother. Even if you don't live together, you won't break off contact! Chen Feng held his cheek with one hand and muttered in a low voice.

Jiang Xue leaned over and lowered her voice and said, "I heard an aunt say in the afternoon that her family arranged a marriage when she graduated from high school, and she didn't agree to it, so I guess it may have something to do with it." But the aunt doesn't know whose family the other party is. ”

Ning Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, turned his head and said to a few people: "Tomorrow, we will go to her stepfather's H County Agricultural Materials Company separately to ......" "Quickly search the Internet for D city news!" Wu Litao, who was looking at his mobile phone just now, suddenly exclaimed, rushed to the computer, squeezed Chen Feng aside and began to search on the computer.

Everyone looked at Wu Litao suspiciously, "Hey, what are you smoking?" Chen Feng changed a chair and sat down, and said angrily. Wu Litao pointed to the computer screen and said, "You see, there is a doctor-patient conflict in the central hospital. ”

Ning Zhiyuan's heart sank when he heard this, and he hurriedly went to watch the news video opened by Wu Litao, only to hear the host standing in front of the building of the D Central Hospital say: "...... The chief of surgery was stabbed, and several doctors and nurses were injured to varying degrees. At present, the police have intervened in the investigation. According to witnesses who were present at the scene, the mother of the man who committed the attack was hospitalized in this hospital ......"

"It's really D Central Hospital, I don't know if Dr. An is okay......" Chen Feng said as he stared at the computer screen with wide eyes. Ning Zhiyuan didn't wait for the video to finish, grabbed the coat on the back of the chair and walked out, "I'll go out for a while." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called Quiet.

The phone rang for a long time, and a mechanical voice came from inside: "The call you dialed is not answered for the time being......" Ning Zhiyuan put on a Bluetooth headset, started the car, and rushed out of the village committee at a gallop. I redialed twice on the way and still no one answered. It wasn't until he entered D City that the mobile phone finally rang, and when he saw that it was a quiet call, Ning Zhiyuan pressed the connect button, and roared without waiting for the other party to speak: "Quiet, where are you?" ”

"I'm at home." Jing Jing sensed that something was wrong with Ning Zhiyuan's voice, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" "Don't go anywhere, wait for me at home!" Ning Zhiyuan hung up the phone and drove the car directly to Jingjing's house. pressed the unit number of Jingjing's house, as soon as the door lock was opened, Ning Zhiyuan rushed into the building, and he didn't have time to wait for the elevator to run directly upstairs from the walking ladder.

Arrived at the floor where Quiet's house was located, Tranquility stood at the door of the half-open door in her home clothes, still holding a towel in her hand, Ning Zhiyuan panted and stood in front of Tranquility and looked carefully, seeing that she was not injured, the heart that had been hanging finally let go, and took Tranquility in his arms with a long breath, and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay......

This sudden hug made Quiet feel confused, and a faint breath came, like mint and grass, and the smell of mint and grass lingered like nothing, which made Quiet, who had just been tormented by nightmares, instantly feel a warmth in her heart that she had never felt before, and this feeling made her heart beat sharply. Jing struggled lightly, but Ning Zhiyuan's arm clamped her tightly and couldn't move, "Don't move!" Ning Zhiyuan rested his chin on the top of his quiet head and said softly.

Quiet and helpless, he could only push Ning Zhiyuan again, "If you have something to say, come into the house and say." Ning Zhiyuan realized that the two were still standing at the door of Jingjing's house, he quickly let go of his arm, blushed and followed Jingjing into the house with a blushing face and some embarrassment.

"What's wrong with you? Is something wrong? Quietly, Ning Zhiyuan was put on the couch in the living room, and he asked after sitting down on the single sofa next to him. Ning Zhiyuan looked at Quiet's hair that was still dripping, sighed, stood up, took the towel in Quiet's hand, wrapped her still dripping hair in the towel and wiped it gently.

Ning Zhiyuan's move caught Jing off guard, and she blushed and hid to the side. "Don't move!" Ning Zhiyuan stopped her for the second time today with a commanding tone, "It's cold, if you don't dry it, you'll catch a cold." Quiet had no choice but to sit there with her back stiff and let Ning Zhiyuan wipe her hair.

"You didn't answer my call because you were taking a shower?" Ning Zhiyuan asked softly. "Well," nodded quietly, "I had nightmares again in the afternoon, and when I woke up sweaty, I took a shower." What the hell happened to you running suddenly? "You didn't go to work today?" Ning Zhiyuan did not answer the rhetorical question. "I worked the night shift yesterday and came back at noon today. What's going on? Jing Jing looked at Ning Zhiyuan slightly, her eyes a little anxious.

"In the news, it was said that someone went to your hospital to commit murder, and a doctor was injured, I thought you were also in the hospital, and I couldn't get through to call you, so I rushed over......" Ning Zhiyuan's voice didn't fall, he stood up quietly, picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and dialed a number, "Mina, I'm quiet, what's wrong?" As soon as the phone rang, Quiet couldn't wait to ask.

I didn't know what the other party said, I hung up the phone quietly, sat down on the sofa, and said sneeringly: "How can this be, the others are fine, the director has also completed the operation, and the injury is in the abdomen, but fortunately, it is shallow, and it does not hurt the organs." ”

Ning Zhiyuan took out the mobile phone in Jing Jing's hand, put the towel and mobile phone on the coffee table, went around to her side and squatted down to take her hand and comforted: "The police have intervened in the investigation, you can rest assured, the perpetrator will be severely punished." ”

"Well," sighed quietly, "Mina said that the department had become a mess in the afternoon, and now it was all taken care of. I'm fine, you don't have to worry. "I'm sorry!" "Huh?" Jing Jing didn't understand why Ning Zhiyuan suddenly apologized, and looked at him suspiciously.

Ning Zhiyuan raised his head and stared at the quiet, "I'm sorry, I've only been busy with the case in the past few days, and I didn't contact you in time, I didn't even know that you worked the night shift yesterday, and I came recklessly and scared you." "Don't say that, I didn't answer your call in time and made you worried." Quietly retracted his hand, turned his head to avoid Ning Zhiyuan's hot gaze, stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" You sit down first, I'll cook some dumplings. ”

Looking at the quiet back, Ning Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, got up and looked around the quiet home. This is a one-bedroom unit, the living room is quite large, with a set of sofas and coffee tables against the wall, and a piano and bookcase on the side. Books are neatly stacked in the bookcase, and a picture frame is placed on the piano with a picture of a quiet piano inside.

The girl in the photo is wearing a white gauze dress, her eyes are slightly closed, and there is a quiet smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she is immersed in beautiful music. Ning Zhiyuan rubbed his fingers against the person in the photo, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly. Quiet walked out of the kitchen, put two plates of dumplings on the dining table, and beckoned Ning Zhiyuan, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, the bathroom is on your left." ”

Ning Zhiyuan washed his hands and sat down at the dining table, took the chopsticks that Jing Jing handed him, and suddenly felt a trace in his heart that he had never felt before, as if he had come home from work, and his wife had prepared dinner for her husband. This feeling couldn't help but make Ning Zhiyuan feel a little hot at the root of his ears, so he quickly grabbed a dumpling and lowered his head to eat it.

After eating, Ning Zhiyuan made two cups of tea and put them on the coffee table, Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Quiet's bare wrist and asked, "What about the bracelet, why didn't you wear it?" "Oh, here it is." Quiet took out the bracelet from his pocket and put it on, "I took it off when I was cleaning up the kitchen just now." Ning Zhiyuan stared at the silence and asked with some concern, "Have a nightmare again?" Quiet sighed and said, "I fell asleep on the sofa in the afternoon, probably because the book was pressed on my chest, so I kept dreaming." ”

Ning Zhiyuan shifted his position, sat down with Quiet on the single sofa, took Quiet's hand and said, "Quiet, can you let me take care of you?" Ning Zhiyuan's words touched the heartstrings of Quiet, in her heart Ning Zhiyuan is a trustworthy man, he is upright and calm, and he is always very down-to-earth when he is with him, it is a shoulder that she can rely on. But her heart has been closed for many years, but she feels extremely conflicted, after experiencing the pain of losing her relatives, she can no longer bear any blows, because she is afraid of losing again, so she dare not have. She struggled inwardly, her hand involuntarily struggling slightly.

"Quiet, you listen to me," Ning Zhiyuan shook his quiet hands again, bit his lower lip as if he had made up his mind, and said seriously, "I have been a criminal policeman since I graduated from the police academy, and I will be thirty years old in two months, I have never had a girlfriend, and I have never had that kind of affection for any girl." I've always felt that work is my whole story, so I don't want to think about anything else. But since I met you, I have a concern in my heart, when I thought you were in danger, I couldn't think calmly anymore, I never worried about a person like this, and I never remembered anyone like this, I think this is what it feels like to like someone. ”

Quietly bowed his head and said nothing, Ning Zhiyuan felt that his heartbeat was speeding up rapidly, and he didn't know how to express his emotions to Quiet, his face turned red, and some fine beads of sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead, and he paused for a moment and continued: "Originally, I wanted to tell you these words after this case was over, but on the way here today, I kept thinking, why didn't I tell you my thoughts earlier, if you really have an accident, I will regret my indecisiveness for the rest of my life." ”
