Tong Hongguang came to the room to take care of the patient and communicate with the patient. As an old acquaintance, Lu Yao followed closely - the motive was of course a pretense of reminiscing about the past, but in fact he got some clues from the psychiatrist's unpredictable rules.
Qi Yi, who was brought to the scene just to be watched and not run away, naturally did not need any more channels to find clues, so he stayed outside the door with Liu Che.
Qi Yi is not familiar with Liu Che - in fact, he is not familiar with anyone. It is just that under the contrast of Lu Yao, a guy who has become so familiar in three seconds that it makes people's scalp numb, the current Liu Che is in Qi Yi's eyes. Li is simply an extremely normal police officer, mature and reliable, and even very good at communicating.
But, this is only relative.
Indeed, completely opposite to Lu Yao, who was racing against time, Liu Che seemed to have no intention of actively asking questions, and even squinted his eyes, enjoying the sunlight shining all around him in the open-air corridor. The awkward silence lasted for a while. Qi Yi, who had implemented the principle of silence is golden for nearly half an hour, almost wanted to speak. Only then did the other abandoned person make a move.
"Have one?"
Qi Yi was just about to say that he didn't smoke, but he saw that Liu Che took out a lollipop from his pocket, lowered his head to check the taste, and then asked: "Is mint flavor okay? This brand of mint flavor is a bit strong. "
Liu Che himself doesn't smoke. But his gesture of holding the candy was real, which made Qi Yi dazed for a moment - but when he saw the colorful packaging, he suspected that the sense of sight was just an illusion, and then he took the candy wrapper in a daze.
"Where do you go to school? After the matter is over, I may be responsible for taking you back later." Liu Che never mentioned the case or suspicion, his expression and posture were very natural, just like a fisherman talking about things at home, "Live in the dormitory ?”
"No, I can take the subway. Come on... Actually, I just graduated." Qi Yixun thought for a moment and felt that it was no big deal to answer this question truthfully, so he used his slow and busy but not knowing what he was busy with, as if He spoke as fast as a caterpillar climbing a tree, "The teacher said that I have reached the graduation qualifications, but I haven't received the diploma. I have to wait for a while to issue it uniformly. It's a university in another city..."
Liu Che listened and felt that this young friend's ability to talk a lot was in line with the profession of a lawyer, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or due to talent, so he missed the point - if it was the latter, this would be a big problem.
"Then you must be very busy recently. Graduation internship, that's all." Liu Che also opened a chocolate-flavored one for himself, "The teacher gave you a lot of tasks?"
When talking about this topic, Qi Yi became wary again, "...not much."
Seeing that Qi Yi started to worry about the words again, almost testing the critical point that made his attitude suddenly change, Liu Che knew a lot, and then deliberately avoided the topic, and gradually talked about the university he was admitted to his hometown. Address, Qi Yi gradually let down his guard.
Liu Che also began to understand what Lu Yao Hua said—this young man obviously didn’t have much experience in the world, and indeed looked like a group of people that Lu Yao summed up in a strange way when he was talking about exchanging experiences—“good people” and “good people” in the eyes of Lu Yao. "Bad Guy" is intuitive and easy to understand. It is clear in black and white. It is very much like a turn-based game in which a humanoid moves on its own. The favorability level on a pure face is almost visible to the naked eye, and each protruding one pokes and jumps.
It's not too difficult to find out where Qi Yi graduated from and which barrister was an intern, it just takes time. But for them, the most important thing is timing compared to this "problem of little significance that can be solved sooner or later". At what point do they want to turn it into a "problem that can be solved and exploited as early as possible."
Liu Che could completely understand Qi Yi's need to conceal it, because any leakage would mean changes in the court. Qi Yi's superiors must have warned him of this. But from his standpoint, he hoped that this guy could explain all the motivations as much as possible.
——Before someone who is more cautious and experienced and able to discern that this is not an interrogation at all, but just a prank comes to the door.
The chocolate-flavored lollipop tasted so sweet that Liu Che decided to speed up the pace. He first took out his mobile phone with a sky blue mobile phone case, glanced at it pretendingly, and finally used it after many preparations. One sentence.
"I have something to do and I need to go in. Qi Yi, please stay here alone for a while."
Without warning or stopping, Qi Yi was left outside the corridor unprepared, staring blankly at Liu Che's leaving figure. Of course, he did not completely give up all vigilance because of a few small talk, but he gradually felt that Officer Liu might be a relatively amiable and friendly idler in the police force.
But maybe now is the time? Qi Yi looked around and saw that there was indeed no one around, and then moved his gaze to one side - the other side of the corridor that neither Lu Yao before nor Liu Che now had fully thought of.
Of course, Liu Che didn't really go far. He was now opening the door very quietly at the angle he had found earlier, observing Qi Yi's subsequent movements from the reflection of the window. Of course, the people inside the door would also have doubts, especially Tong Hongguang, who knew nothing about their plan, but Lu Yao understood and immediately whispered to him: "I guarantee to you that our officer Liu is not a thief... …”
Qi Yi, who knew nothing about this, was about to walk lightly to the door of the next room, when his purpose of coming here was immediately revealed...
But at this moment, obvious footsteps came from behind him, which made Qi Yi freeze in place immediately.
Something bad happened, Liu Che thought, and then immediately opened the door - Qi Yi could not continue his original mission when there were people around. Liu Che originally thought that it might be other nurses, doctors or patients - but he happened to forget Another possibility.
"Gu..."
When Qi Yi saw the person coming, he just blurted out a last name when he heard the sound of the door next to him and swallowed the last two words.
But the people who came were slow in their steps. First, they naturally came to Qi Yi and blocked him behind them. Then they immediately turned around and looked at Liu Che who opened the door and came out.
"This is... Officer Liu?"
"You recognize me?"
Just looking at her from a distance, Liu Che felt that this woman looked familiar, but he really couldn't think of a specific name.
But if she is assumed to be Qi Yi's boss, then it is very likely that she is a barrister that Lu Yao has a "vague impression" of, a lawyer he knows...
Liu Che did not remember that he had been to court in recent years.
"My name is Gu Ling, and I belong to Hongyun Law Firm."
Gu Ling, on the other hand, looked completely solemn, humble and honest. He even extended his hand in a friendly manner and gestured for a handshake, "Liu Che, Officer Liu. Hello, I've heard your name for a long time."
Liu Che frowned, but followed her movements and completed a standard and formal handshake.
Talking to a former undercover police officer who now works in a not-so-officient but rather secretive detachment—it's not a good sign.
But Gu Ling seemed to be chatting away, saying every word clearly yet casually, "I met you at a funeral five years ago, and your name was mentioned in the conversation. I remember you. I left with some people before the ceremony ended. Based on the way you got along with each other, maybe they were your colleagues? It might be rude to infer that. Although I’m embarrassed to say it myself, my memory is pretty good.”
