"So how are your family members?" Professor Lin asked tentatively.
"My eldest brother is dead." Xu Huohan said: "He died from a gunshot. But now I can't tell what is true and what is false. In my memory, he was killed by someone else, but memory may also be wrong, like yours Everyone remembers Hospital No. 17, but this hospital didn’t leave any records.”
"Maybe my memory of the man who killed my brother is fictional."
Professor Lin's facial expression gradually stiffened, and finally he burst into tears. He choked and said, "Ordinary people may confuse imagination and reality, but you are not an ordinary person..."
Xu Huo looked at him like this for a while, and then asked: "Which doctor took me to the hospital in the first place?"
Professor Lin quickly pointed out the female doctor standing on his left in the photo, "Her son came to see me two years ago, but her condition was not very good."
He said and glanced at Xu Huo carefully, "She has Alzheimer's disease and occasionally suddenly mentions her previous job in the hospital, so her son came to see me."
Xu Huo had a sullen expression and said nothing. Professor Lin wrote down the address again, "There's only so much I can do."
"Thank you." Xu Huo took the address and was about to leave. At this time, the old lady came out of the kitchen and said, "Eat before leaving."
Professor Lin quickly winked at the old lady, but the old lady glared at him, "What's wrong with you? How can you let your child leave without eating?"
Xu Huo turned around, and Professor Lin immediately smiled with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, stay for a casual meal."
Xu Huo really stayed.
The old couple's financial situation is not good, so the food they buy is cheap and very hungry, and there is no meaty taste.
"Eat more." The old lady lovingly put vegetables into Xu Huo's bowl and said, "The conditions at home are not good, so you have to make do with it. I still have some private money, so you can use it to buy food."
Xu Huo looked at Professor Lin, who smiled bitterly and said: "As you get older, you are easily deceived. We don't owe loan sharks. The old woman was defrauded of her certificate..."
So everything in the house that could be sold for money was taken away, so from time to time people came to ask for debts.
"Bah bang bang!" Someone banged the door hard as he spoke, "Professor Lin, please open the door!"
The old lady picked up the bowl and stood up, "Those bastards, I'll crush them to death!"
Professor Lin quickly stopped her, "Don't throw it away, don't throw it away, it's five yuan each! Just pretend you're not at home!"
The last sentence was addressed to Xu Huo, but Xu Huo had already opened the door. Several young people standing outside the door still raised their hands. They were stunned and said, "Are you a relative of Professor Lin?"
"He's not." Professor Lin said first, "You should leave quickly. I really don't have anything valuable at home. You go find Zhang Dong. He borrowed the money and it has nothing to do with us."
The young man with yellow hair said helplessly: "Professor Lin, you also know our difficulties. We will not come to you if we can find Zhang Dong. Otherwise, why don't you tell us where he is?"
"We don't know!" the old lady became excited. "Go call the police! Call the police and arrest him!"
"Old lady, judging from what you said, how can the people cause trouble for the police? It's still the same old rules, we'll wait here, you call us, and we'll leave in two hours. Don't get excited." The yellow-haired young man said, trying to squeeze past Xu Huo to enter.
Xu Huo held his shoulders, and the yellow-haired young man shouted and knelt on the ground. When the two people outside the door saw this, they immediately moved their fists, but Xu Huo slapped him away, and one of them slapped him in the face, and they also followed in. door.
"You're trying to embarrass two old people without finding the rightful owner to collect debts. You have nothing to do?" Xu Huo sat on a low stool, and three young men squatted in front of him with their heads in their hands. Huang Mao said, "We don't want to embarrass Professor Lin either. Brother Jie went to find Zhang Dong, we just came here to try our luck, the old lady recognized Zhang Dong as her godson before, and all she borrowed money from was her ID!"
"It's not peaceful outside right now. I'm looking for people everywhere for two hundred thousand dollars, and I'm not afraid to find problems." Xu Huo read the copied IOU, "Brother Jie, he was originally an errand boy from the Longxing Underground Market. "
Huang Mao raised his head cautiously, "Brother, do you know our brother Jie?"
"We have dealt with him before and we have a good friendship." Xu Huo thought for a while and said, "He even gave me a gift during the Chinese New Year."
When the three young men heard this, their faces lit up. Huang Mao quickly said: "It turns out that eldest brother and Brother Jie are friends. We won't hide it from you. In fact, it was Zhang Dong who robbed two bars and ran away. I heard that he became Evolution Even though we were caught, we didn’t catch him, so we went out to look for people everywhere.”
"Can you handle it, Evolvers?" Xu Huo took Zhang Dong's photo and identity information, "Okay, you go, don't come back again."
Huang Mao wanted to say something else, but when he came into contact with his cold eyes, he swallowed his words and led his two companions away.
"This won't cause you any trouble, right?" Professor Lin said anxiously: "Actually, these young men didn't do anything excessive. Everything in the house was emptied before."
"Let's find another place to live." Xu Huo said: "The country's supervision measures for evolvers are not perfect yet, and it is not safe to live in a place where dragons and snakes are mixed."
He took out a card and said, "There are tens of thousands of dollars in it. I'll leave you my phone number. Send me your address after you move. Maybe I'll bother you again in the future."
Professor Lin was grateful and scared at the same time. He muttered: "I really can't help you with anything..."
"Just stay alive." Xu Huo left Hongxing Community and went to a nursing home in the suburbs according to the address given by Professor Lin.
The female doctor's son was a staff member of this nursing home. After explaining his purpose, he took Xu Huo to the place where the female doctor rested.
"My mother doesn't recognize people very much now." Liao Xu said: "She did tell me about the Seventeenth Hospital before, but she said very little, and I don't know much."
"Everything she brought out when she was dismissed from the hospital was burned."
"Burned?" Xu Huo looked at the old man sitting beside the bed covered with a blanket. She looked forward, but there was no content in her eyes.
"She burned it herself." Liao Xu said: "I remember she was very angry at that time. After losing her temper, she burned everything she brought out."
"Do you know that your mother had a lover in the Seventeenth Hospital?" Xu Huo asked.
Liao Xu was stunned for a moment, "Although my parents divorced very early, I have never heard her mention remarrying or dating anyone in these years. However, she was still happy while working at the 17th Hospital."
"She never mentioned other colleagues?" Xu Huo asked again.
"I mentioned it occasionally and complained that another female colleague was difficult to get along with." Liao Xu thought about it carefully, "I can't remember the rest clearly."
Xu Huo walked up to the female doctor and leaned over to look at her, "How many doctors are there in the Seventeenth Hospital?"
