Chapter 2 The blessing of surviving a catastrophe

"Well, that's okay."

Li Qing thoughtfully opened the call interface and placed the phone on the small table of the hospital bed.

Lin Zuzu accidentally scanned the recent call list, and there were only two people, one was his sister and the other was the captain.

She pressed the 11-digit number skillfully, as if she had repeated this action hundreds of times by heart, but when she pressed the dial button, she hesitated.

"Don't remember the number? We can check it for you." Nowadays, so many people make voice calls, so it's normal to not remember the mobile phone number.

"Oh, no..." Lin Zuzu smiled awkwardly and finally made the call.

"Hello, who is this?"

A gentle female voice sounded on the other end of the phone. Lin Zuzu's eyes turned red when she heard it, but she didn't say a word.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

She was silent.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

She remained silent.

"Hello……"

Suddenly, the woman paused, and when she spoke again, her voice was full of urgency.

"Is it Zuzu?"

"Is it you, Zuzu?"

"You finally called your mother, I really..."

Lin Zuzu hung up the phone abruptly and pulled the retention needle violently. She didn't even frown, operating the phone as if she didn't feel the pain, and added the number to the blacklist before Zhang Xiuying came over to replay it.

Li Qing didn't know what was going on between mother and daughter, but in this situation, he didn't know what to say.

"Thank you, police officer." Lin Zuzu smiled reluctantly.

Seeing this, Li Qing could only nod, took back his phone, and when he pushed the door open, he found Yi Tingxie still sitting at the door.

"Have you encountered anything strange before the accident?" The pale man turned to look at her and asked.

Lin Zuzu was startled and managed to calm down, fearing that he would be discovered.

"If you want to say it's weird, Captain, you're probably weirder. Okay, go write a report."

Li Qing said smoothly, helped Yi Tingxie up, and pulled him away.

***

Lin Zuzu's recovery condition was good. If I had to describe it in detail, she could eat and sleep. She even had the illusion that if she ignored the trauma, she seemed to be healthier than before the injury.

During the three days of observation in the hospital after waking up, Yi Tingxie, who was wearing a T-shirt and loose shorts in addition to doctors and nurses, came almost every day to ask questions. But fortunately, he kept in touch with the girl these few times.

a certain distance.

Lin Zuzu knew that he had no substantial evidence, so her answer was still the same as before. It was just that he came more often, and she couldn't help but start to doubt.

Are all police officers so idle? Is there really another hidden reason behind the explosion?

After she woke up, the strange man never appeared again.

Not only that, after being stabbed through the heart in her dream, she never dreamed about this nightmare that had haunted her for a long time.

However, what makes Lin Zuzu most happy is that the hospital waived all her treatment expenses. After all, living alone, she can only receive a lump sum of living expenses every year that is just enough for one year's expenses.

I'm afraid this means that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good luck in the future, right?

When she asked the doctor who came for ward rounds the reason, Yi Tingxie, who happened to be in the ward, coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Want to eat an apple? Peel an apple for you." The man walked over quickly.

The doctor gave him a thoughtful look, gave the girl a few words of advice, shook his head slightly and left.

Before Lin Zuzu could say anything, Yi Tingxie sat quietly on the chair next to the hospital bed and peeled an apple.

His fingers are long and slender with well-defined joints, and his posture holding the fruit knife is quite elegant.

For no reason, Lin Zuzu felt that his hands seemed more suitable for holding more dangerous things.

for example--

A hilt with a silver blade three feet long.

In contrast to the sloppy image, Yi Tingxie unexpectedly peeled the fruit very well. The peel was thin but not broken, and the apple was extremely round.

He cut the apple into small pieces on the plate, inserted toothpicks into it, and brought it to the girl.

When he did all this, he looked serious and unhurried. If his image hadn't been too slovenly, she would have doubted whether he was a father.

However, she noticed that the man had a pair of deep eyes. And in the depths of the dark eyes, there seemed to be some indescribable emotions hidden.

"Thank you, police officer." Lin Zuzu politely thanked him.

"You really haven't encountered anything?"

"Yes, officer."

"Like a guy who doesn't look like a good person?"

Lin Zuzu always felt that the man must know something, or... be exploring some truth through this method.

But she still shook her head, forked a small piece of apple and put it in her mouth.

"Keep a low profile, don't cause trouble, talk less and have less contact" has been her life rule for many years, and it was also her father's last teaching before he disappeared.

Yi Tingxie finally gave up, and when he stood up to leave, he left behind a few words.

"The doctor said, eat slowly and remember to chew more."

Lin Zuzu suddenly felt that what the police officer said before was right.

This man...is really a bit strange.

***

This is the third day that Lin Zuzu has returned home, and it is also the third day that Li Qing has been monitoring her. At the same time, it is also the third day that the mission has made no progress.

Task content:

1. Observe whether the target behaves suspiciously or has contact with suspicious persons;

2. Find the reason why the target came back from the dead.

Looking at it now, he also came into contact with suspicious people. Li Qing had never seen anyone living in such a closed life.

As soon as Lin Zuzu got home, he closed all the curtains, like a mushroom growing in the shade, without any need for sunlight.

If he hadn't urgently applied for thermal imaging equipment, Li Qing would have been almost helpless. After all, he was not from the Intelligence Bureau.

During the three days without leaving home, she had no face-to-face contact with anyone except the takeaway guy who delivered the food to her door. Of course, considering her physical condition, this was understandable. But even after suffering such a serious injury,

After the injury, no one came to visit or take care of her.

Team 11 has considered whether there is something wrong with the delivery staff, but based on Li Qin's comprehensive investigation, it can be determined that they are ordinary people.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, in order to complete the task assigned by the wayward captain, Li Qin could only recruit a foreign aid again.

The most common thing Lin Zuzu does these days is to take out a book from the bookshelf with difficulty, bury himself comfortably on the sofa, and then start to be in a daze.

"Dong dong dong."

A knock on the door brought her back to the real world, and for a moment she felt that something was wrong with the scene in front of her.

"takeout."

"Ah, just leave it at the door, thank you."

Lin Zuzu didn't have time to dwell on that sense of disobedience. She sighed softly and stood up slowly.

Outside the door, the short delivery boy wearing a mask did not leave, but responsibly handed the pig's trotter rice to the girl's hand.

Seemingly seeing Lin Zuzu's horrific injuries, he asked: "Is there any garbage that needs to be thrown away? I will take it down for you."

There are indeed many good people in this world.

The previous medical expenses were waived by the hospital because they thought she was too pitiful. Anyway, that's what the doctor told her, and there was no need to pay any fees for a follow-up examination. She didn't want to delve into the police officer's unnatural state.

Lin Zuzu slowly reached for the takeout bags that had been piled inside the door for three days.

Seeing her struggling, the delivery man quickly leaned over and leaned half of his body into the room, gathered all the plastic bags and lifted them up.

"Thank you so much."

"With a little effort, here we go." With that said, he left in a dusty manner.

Lin Zuzu closed the door and returned to the sofa. Just as she sat down to enjoy the fragrant pig's trotter rice, she inadvertently raised her head and was stunned.

She finally discovered something unusual about the scenery in front of her.

It wasn't that she saw some ferocious beast, or that the strange black man appeared again. What she saw was just a photo on the TV cabinet - the only photo of the three of them together.

She could clearly see the smiling faces of her father, mother and herself.

Of course, this is a normal thing for others, but Zuzu Lin has 500 degrees of myopia!

Her glasses were completely destroyed in the explosion, and she didn't have time to get them replaced.

Although the distance of several meters from the sofa to the TV would not allow her to distinguish humans from animals, it was impossible to see a small photo clearly.

She looked around the room and realized that this was not an illusion.

Lin Zuzu, an ordinary person who had been highly myopic for many years, suddenly became no longer short-sighted.

Is this also the blessing of surviving a catastrophe?

As she thought about it, a sense of uneasiness rose in her heart. She never thought she would have this.

There was a knock on the door again.

She walked over hesitantly, and through the peephole she saw the person she wanted to see but didn't dare to see.

"Zuzu, are you at home?"

Zhang Xiuying's face was full of sorrow, and her expression revealed a bit of humility. Her eyes were red and swollen as if she had been crying for a long time. She was carrying two large bags in her hands and a small suitcase beside her.

"Zuzu, could you please open the door? What happened to you?"

Lin Zuzu was sure that she had not told anyone about her injury, and she would not post it on social platforms.

Then, the only possibility is that phone call.

Those police officers... what did they do? Was it because of good intentions?

"Can you let mom see you? Please..." the woman begged.

Maybe it was the fragility after being seriously injured, maybe it was the woman's moving expression, maybe it was her pleading... Lin Zuzu just felt something collapsed in his heart.

Oh, that's her strong defense.

"Click." The door opened.

Zhang Xiuying's excited expression was immediately replaced by surprise before it could fully float on her cheeks, and then she shed heartbroken tears.

Her daughter...how could her precious daughter be so bruised and bruised? How could she have suffered this? She was not even willing to tell herself that if it weren't for those kind-hearted police officers, she would still know everything.

Zhang Xiuying stretched out her hand to hug the girl, but did not dare to touch her for fear of hurting her, so she stood beside the girl helplessly.

"mom, Mom, Mom……"

The emotions that Lin Zuzu had suppressed for more than five years burst out in an instant, and he cried like a child.

Of course, she is only seventeen years old.

"I miss you so much, wuwuwu, mom, I really miss you so much..."

I don’t care… I really don’t care…

Lin Zuzu threw himself into the woman's arms and hugged her neck tightly with his good left arm.

This is the future happiness she wants.

***

At the corner of the corridor, the short delivery boy was standing there, listening to the tear-jerking touching reunion of the mother and daughter, but there was no wave in his heart.

Suddenly, he made a strange gesture with his right hand, and as he softly uttered the word "jie" in his mouth, ripples appeared all over his body, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

After a while, a girl with a slim figure appeared, looking about 16 or 17 years old.

She was about to turn around and leave, but saw the takeout bag at her feet.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then finally curled her lips and picked them all up.
