    Chapter 85 Macbeth (twenty-six)

    Tao Ran stood dazedly at the corner of the corridor, blocking the way. Several medical staff who were pushing the patient past impatiently called him "Excuse me," and he just woke up from a dream and retreated to the side against the wall. .

    "... Deputy Tao, hello, Deputy Team Tao, are you still there?"

    When Tao Ran shook his head, he didn't hear what Lang Qiao said, so he hurriedly lowered his head and rubbed his nose: "Ah, here, what else?"

    Lang Qiao lowered his voice: "During this period of time, Zhou Junmao had an accident in China, then Zhou Huaijin was kidnapped, Zhou Huaixin was assassinated, and now Zheng Kaifeng and Yang Bo were killed in a mysterious explosion... These people are not ordinary people, Tao Fu, you have to Be mentally prepared, Bureau Lu rushed over after hearing about this, and just before she sat down, she answered the phone and was called away."

    Tao Ran frowned: "What do you mean?"

    Lang Qiao sighed: "Let me be blunt - Zhou has invested a lot in China in recent years, and his overseas background is even more profound. After we launched the investigation procedure against their company in China, they have been trying every means to obstruct it, and now it is even more so. It is because of Zheng Kaifeng's accident, Zhou Huaijin and Hu Zhenyu being detained for no reason. There are news in the foreign media that this is a domestic conspiracy against the Zhou family. We just received an urgent notice and asked the boss to make a written statement on everything today. Explanation, an inspection must be written, and until the end of the internal investigation, the relevant person in charge is temporarily suspended from work.”

    Tao Ran leaned against the pale and mottled wall of the hospital, and carelessly rubbed his back against the white ashes. He paused for a second: "I didn't hear you clearly, Xiao Qiao, say it again."

    Lang Qiao did not dare to say a word.

    Tao Ran's tongue roamed around his mouth three times, and he could even count how many wisdom teeth he had. It was probably because he was trying to suckle that he couldn't say anything.

    If it was said that he was still running out of hot sweat just now, and a terrified cold heart, at this time, Tao Ran's body temperature slowly dropped in the autumn night wind, but his internal organs fell into the boiling pot, boiling water. The fire rumbled through the blood all over him. Tao Ran took a few deep breaths in succession, but still couldn't make up for the oxygen consumed in the "burning".

    Tao Ran asked, "What did Bureau Lu say?"

    "Officer Lu can't do anything about it," Lang Qiao said. "Two such big incidents happened in one day today, and the impact was too bad. Now there are all kinds of things to say, there are conspiracy theories, and there are questions about our irregularities in handling things, Incompetent, you know that the Wang Hongliang incident just happened before, everyone has difficulties in their hearts, and many people think that the police are not trustworthy..."

    Good things don't go out, bad things travel thousands of miles.

    Breaking into a drug gang alone to obtain key evidence, directing Ruoding to successfully rescue a car of kidnapped children, or searching for evidence all night long to solve major unsolved cases for more than 20 years—all of which should be taken into account. , not worth mentioning.

    Only when there is an accident, will everyone panic and panic together, all of them pointing at the same time. For a time, everyone seems to have piercing eyes. They can wear uniforms and skins at a glance, and every bone they see is inlaid with "yīn conspiracy". Character.

    Everyone asks you for a replacement, and if you can't find the culprit in an appalling incident, someone will always be responsible for it.

    "It's alright," maybe because it was a girl who called him, so men tend to be more restrained in front of a girl, Tao Ran finally managed to control his own words, "It's alright, Xiao Qiao, don't be nervous for now, treat it as a Routine report, I will write this report and inspection when I go back. Don't alarm Team Luo - anyway, it doesn't stop, and it doesn't make much difference to him now. Otherwise, can a disabled person go back to work overtime? Sick leave."

    Lang Qiao: "Then now..."

    "Now what should you do? Don't stop looking at Zheng Kaifeng, continue to dig deep, no matter what resistance or resistance, Zheng Kaifeng is dead, can you find any flowers? Second, start from Zhou Huaijin and Hu Zhenyu, Zhou Huaijin wants to cooperate with us. Hu Zhenyu also has real power in Zhou's Yancheng headquarters. Even if they don't have some conclusive evidence, at least they know more than we do. If necessary, let Zhou Huaijin issue a statement. After all, he is the real brand. The heir to the Zhou family. The third...the third..." Tao Ran paused for a while, his knuckles turning white from the fingers holding the phone, and the veins on the back of his hands jumped up. Three" say it.

    How to say - there is an inner ghost among us, must we investigate it thoroughly?

    How to check?

    Call everyone into the "little black room" individually, and let everyone "be lenient when confessing, and be strict when resisting" like a prisoner?

    The unpredictable wind and rain outside is not enough, but also internal friction on this basis?

    Who should he tell?

    Who can he trust now?

    "Vice Tao, what's third?"

    "I haven't...haven't thought about it yet," Tao Ran answered her with some difficulty, "Let me think about it first, and wait until I get my thinking straight."

    Lang Qiao was frightened by his seemingly calm and determined tone. At this moment, Tao Ran stopped her and repeated: "Don't disturb Team Luo, the rest is really fine, don't worry."

    Just listening to this voice, you can almost hear the usual genial smile of Deputy Tao.

    Lang Qiao did not suspect him, said "OK" and cut off the phone.

    Tao Ran's breath stuck in his heart, and he couldn't get up or down. As the busy tone on the phone rang, the last bit of calm he had been holding back disappeared with ashes. A sound of "cao your ancestors" has been around for three days.

    Everyone who passed in front of him saw Tao Ran's expression and subconsciously accelerated his pace, lest he was a doctor who was about to injure someone with a knife, and the two patrolling "special security" stared at him vigilantly.

    Tao Ran suddenly raised his phone and aimed it at the opposite wall, wanting to smash it hard.

    The moment the phone was about to go away, Tao Ran remembered the three melons in his salary card—the loan was repaid this month, and the remaining money was not enough for him to buy a decent new phone, and he still had to contact colleagues and pay You have to summarize the situation, adapt to changes, and prepare to report to your superiors at any time, and do not dare to lose contact at will.

    So he was able to get back the mobile phone that was almost killed in the line of duty. There was really no way to vent, so had to remove the plastic mobile phone case, and when it was a scapegoat, smashed an innocent and helpless body to pieces.

    At this time, a female voice that always seemed to be smiling said, "Oh, Xiao Tao, who are you arguing with?"

    I saw three people going up and down the elevator on the other side of the corridor, a young man who was a few steps behind helping to carry things, and a middle-aged couple—the man was very tall, except for his serious and unsmiling expression, he was simply Luo Wenzhou’s middle-aged and elderly. Version, the woman was wearing a long-sleeved dress, smiling, and she didn't look very old—Tao Ran had seen it a few times, and they were Luo Wenzhou's parents.

    Tao Ran was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stood up straight: "Hello, auntie and uncle."

    Luo Wenzhou's mother, Mu Xiaoqing, took out an apple from the fruit basket carried by the person next to him, stuffed it into Tao Ran, and patted him on his head smoothly: "Look, our little Tao is pissed off."

    Tao Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Captain Luo is over there."

    Luo Wenzhou's father, Luo Cheng, gave him a very restrained nod. He first glanced at him with a probe, and then he turned his hands behind his back, strode in all directions, and walked towards Luo Wenzhou. In front of the wounded, the old man did not say a word, blocked the light, and coughed heavily.

    Luo Wenzhou raised his head with red eyes, and looked at his dad. Then he reached out and picked up the crutches that had fallen to the ground at some point. He stood up and moved to the side in a disciplined manner, giving his dad a seat.

    Luo Cheng was not polite to him, he lightly lifted his trousers, and sat on the injured patient's seat with peace of mind. He sat down on the broken hospital chair in a contemptuous manner, like an "Iron Throne" under his buttocks.

    Then the old man commented on Luo Wenzhou's brand-new look: "With a ragged bag, you can go to the subway and beg for dinner."

    Luo Wenzhou remained silent.

    Luo Cheng said again: "I'm still crying? Isn't it just suspension of work to write an inspection, what about you?"

    Tao Ran: "..."

    He repeatedly ordered people to hide this matter first—although the fire couldn’t be contained in paper, at least not to disturb Luo Wenzhou at this time. Unexpectedly, when this father came, he ripped the paper directly!

    Luo Wenzhou tilted his head and glanced at Tao Ran. Tao Ran quickly turned his eyes away and prepared to walk away: "Uh... you guys talk first, I'll take a call."

    Luo Wenzhou: "Wait!"

    Tao Ran paused and looked at him with extreme embarrassment.

    Luo Wenzhou closed his eyes and was silent in the strong smell of medicine.

    He was still ringing in his ears, replaying the loud noise at the moment of the explosion, and having some hallucinations. He always felt that the door in front of him was ringing, ready to pronounce the fate of a person at any time.

    Tao Ran: "Wen Zhou..."

    "Go back and find Uncle Lu," Luo Wenzhou interrupted him suddenly, "let him deal with this matter seriously, the more serious the better—during my suspension from work, the criminal investigation team started an internal investigation from top to bottom, and all involved personnel Don't leave, get on the communication equipment, and prepare to talk one by one."

    Tao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted immediately—this is a good opportunity to catch a ghost!

    At this time, Luo Cheng said next to him: "Even if it is the President of the United States who kills and sets fire in our country, we have the right to pursue it. We welcome those who come to invest in construction. It is best for everyone to make money and develop together. What to do, how to deal with it, Yancheng has developed to this point, and some people are willing to take a ride on development, what age? I said it, Xiao Tao, please tell the Bureau of Land."

    Tao Ran fell to the ground with a sigh of relief, and turned to leave.

    At this moment, the door of the intensive care unit opened again, Luo Wenzhou's crutches slipped on the ground for some reason, he swayed all over, and he almost rolled over with the crutches, and he simply put the obstructing crutches under his arms. As soon as he clipped it, he was about to pass by jumping on one leg. Tao Ran was afraid that he would shake his brain out of the tsunami, so he quickly stretched out his hand to hold him down and grabbed the front with a quick stride: "Nurse!"

    The nurse took off the mask and glanced down at the list in her hand: "The patient should have given a 'notice' just now, and it has been printed out, but now the situation is more stable, you can take a look, don't sign it if you don't sign it. "

    Tao Ran hurriedly asked, "Then how is he now?"

    "The most dangerous time hasn't passed yet, it's hard to say," the nurse said. "It seems to be developing in a good direction. After all, I'm young, so wait for the notice... Hey, that guy on crutches, what's the matter with you? Are we hospitalized here, why haven't we returned to the ward so late?"

    Tao Ran: "Let's go now, let's go now, he is worried, the patient inside is..."

    Luo Wenzhou: "It's my lover."

    Nurse:"……"

    Tao Ran bit his tongue in one bite, almost biting off a piece of ròu, when he saw blood, and the pain made him almost burst into tears.

    Luo Wenzhou asked again, "Then can I stay here a little longer?"

    The nurse didn't know if she was dumbfounded, but she was very well-informed. With an "oh", she turned around and left without saying anything.

    Tao Ran, Mu Xiaoqing, and Luo Cheng turned their six eyes at the same time, like six searchlights side by side, hitting Luo Wenzhou together.

    Luo Wenzhou turned a blind eye to these idle people, and didn't explain that he had used the "future tense". He staggered and moved to the trash can in the corner, bent down and vomited.

    A series of rescue measures are scientific and quick, and are not dependent on the weak will of the patient.

    For a few seconds, Fei Du briefly regained consciousness under the stimulation, and was dragged out of his boundless nightmare. He vaguely heard the noise of the medical equipment in his ears, and came and went like water, those rhythmic sounds. Somehow twisted in his ears into a familiar piece of music.

    The gloomy villa, the woman's eyes, the dead flowers, the electric shock room painted in the ground as a prison... All the rich and colorful things he has experienced in his life have all turned into silhouettes and filled the singing of thousands of times.

    "You can't obey! You can't surrender!" The woman suddenly pierced his chaotic eardrum with a frantic hysterical voice, "What did I read to you? 'People can be destroyed, but not defeated' - Fei Du! Fei Du!"

    "Fei Du!"

    The author has something to say: People can be destroyed, but not defeated - The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway
