The dazzling sunlight made my slightly opened eyes a little uncomfortable: "Well..."
"Yuan Chen, you're awake."
I half-closed my eyes and stared for a while before I recognized the person in front of me and asked doubtfully: "Auntie, why are you here?"
"You were knocked unconscious by the bomb. Your work unit informed me that I'm here. Your uncle is also here. He didn't sleep a wink last night. Now I'll let him sleep in your house." Auntie looked at me with a smile on her face.
She was caring, but her eyes were bloodshot and there were still wet tears in the corners of her eyes.
The old man is used to being alone in Jinghai, so after I was transferred back to China from country M, the couple were the closest people to me.
I remembered, we went to arrest Tang Tianyi, and finally we all retreated, leaving only Crazy Brother and Shengun. Then, Tang Tianyi released the button that he had been pressing before, and the bomb exploded.
"Where is my colleague?" I asked loudly, while trying to sit up with strength on my waist.
As a result, after this shouting, I immediately became dizzy, my temples felt very swollen and painful, and I felt like my world was spinning, so I lay down again.
"Hurry up, your colleague is over there." As she said that, my aunt pointed to the bed next to her.
I looked along and saw a man lying on the hospital bed. His head was wrapped with a bandage. I couldn't see his appearance and I couldn't recognize who he was.
There was a woman lying beside the hospital bed, her face facing the head of the bed, her eyes closed, and her left hand tightly holding the man's hand stretched out from the quilt.
The woman's face seemed familiar. I asked my mother who was on the bed, and she replied: "Your other colleagues call him Crazy Brother. He is more serious than you. He has burns on his body, but it is not life-threatening."
It sounded like it was Crazy Brother, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Since I was fine, and Crazy Brother who was in the room closest to the bomb was fine, Wen Xin and Gong Zhixin must also be fine.
No wonder the woman lying on the hospital bed seemed familiar to me. She was Crazy Brother’s wife.
Wait, where is the magic stick? He was also in there with Crazy Brother at that time, why did he only see Crazy Brother but not him?
"Yuanchen, are you awake? I just bought some fruit. What do you want to eat?" Suddenly I heard someone talking, which brought me back from my thoughts.
I turned around and saw that it was Cheng Yong from the team. He opened the door from outside and came in with a bag of fruit in his hand. The captain must have arranged for him to look after me and Brother Crazy here.
"Brother Yong, how are the others?" I asked eagerly.
"Uh... not bad, not bad." Cheng Yong's expression was obviously unnatural.
I heard a change in his tone, which made me very uneasy, so I asked, "Where is the magic stick? Which ward is he in?"
Cheng Yong's smile froze on his face and he looked at me, hesitating to speak. I suddenly had an ominous premonition and my heart almost clenched together, so I hurriedly urged: "Tell me quickly!"
"Alas!" Cheng Yong sighed, put the fruit in the cabinet next to him, walked up to me and said, "Yuan Chen, I told you not to get excited, the bastard... He pounced on the murderer at the last moment.
, suppressed the bomb with his body, greatly reducing the lethality of the bomb explosion, and saved Crazy Brother's life. He and the murderer... died together."
"What!" I sat up from the bed. A huge pain spread from my whole body to the center of my brain, and I gasped.
I held back the pain and looked at Cheng Yong in disbelief, hoping that he would suddenly show a bad smile and say: "Haha, I'm kidding you!"
However, Cheng Yong gave me a more direct sentence: "The magic stick is dead, and there is not even a whole body."
The moment I heard these words, I felt a heart-wrenching pain in my heart, which was so oppressive that I almost suffocated. This was far more uncomfortable than the physical pain.
"What? He's dead..." I murmured.
"Hey, didn't I tell you not to get excited? You just woke up, so take care of yourself." Cheng Yong walked to the bedside and patted my shoulder gently.
I raised my head numbly and asked, "Where are Wen Xin and the others?"
Cheng Yong replied: "When the bomb exploded, Gong Zhixin and the others were at the corner of the corridor and did not suffer much impact. He called the emergency number in time. Wen Xin, who was next to you, was also knocked unconscious in the ward next to her.
Since you're awake, she'll probably be here soon, so don't worry."
Wen Xin was also at the corner and ran out after me. She got hurt because of me, which made me feel very guilty. I propped up my body with both hands and moved my legs to the side, wanting to get out of bed sideways and go to the side to take a look.
she.
At this time, there was a sound at the door. I looked over and saw a middle-aged woman walking in with Wen Xin on her back. The first thing she said when she saw me was: "Where are the crazy brother and the magic stick?"
Wen Xin's face was very pale, her expression was haggard, and she looked weak. Looking at her like this, I really couldn't bear to tell her about the magic stick.
"Say it!" Wen Xin urged me, her eyes full of anxiety.
"Brother Crazy is fine, he's here." I tried my best to calm down my emotions and pointed to Brother Crazy's hospital bed.
Wen Xin listened and walked to the bedside. At this time, her sister-in-law who had been lying on the bed woke up. When she saw Wen Xin, she stood up, smoothed her messy hair, stretched out her hand to support Wen Xin and said, "Doctor
It may take 48 hours for our old Lin to wake up, and there will be burn scars on his body and face. Fortunately, it is not life-threatening. You should rest more when you wake up and don't move around."
When my sister-in-law said this, she had a smile on her face, but there was so much sadness and forbearance in her smile that it made people moved.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, we didn't take good care of crazy brother for you..." As soon as Wen Xin called out "sister-in-law," tears started to fall from her eyes.
Wen Xin's words undoubtedly tore a hole in her sister-in-law's strong appearance. The sister-in-law's hand holding hers kept shaking, her eyes were closed tightly, and tears flowed freely from the corners of her eyes.
Cheng Yong called the captain to report that Wen Xin and I woke up. He then said that the captain had learned from Gong Zhixin the details of last night’s arrest and Tang Tianyi’s explanation of the three murders. The team had assigned
I know that other comrades are finishing the case, so we can rest assured and take good care of our injuries. The organization will ask for our credit after we are discharged from the hospital.
I don't care whether I take credit for myself or not. I only care about one person's question: "Where is the magic stick?"
Cheng Yong said solemnly: "He will definitely be regarded as a martyr. There are four old people left in his family. The team leader said in front of us last night that from now on, the parents of the magic stick will be the parents of our entire team.
All the police officers are their children."
"Martyr... is the magic stick dead?" Wen Xin also had an incredulous expression.
I couldn't face her eyes and lowered my head in silence.
Cheng Yong told the story of the sacrifice of the magic stick again. As soon as he finished speaking, soft sobs could be heard in the ward. My sister-in-law choked and said: "It was he who saved our old Lin..."
