Chapter 235 It's Him
Qin Yi looked at his legs and nodded:
"Just go ahead and treat it! If your leg doesn't recover, it will only delay your work! You can try to catch up later. That will be hard on you!"
Su Tong looked up at him. She felt that Qin Yi's attitude from just now to now seemed... a little changed.
She thought he was tired, so she said quickly:
"Brother Yi, I will give you acupuncture. After that, you can rest for an hour, and then you can soak in the medicinal spring to use the water to drive out the cold."
"Okay!" Qin Yi's answer was concise and gentle.
He looked calm, but little did he know how much effort he was putting into criticizing and restraining himself.
During the hour he spent in the hot spring, he seriously reflected on his mental journey along the way.
His thoughts, actions, and deeds... were beyond the scope of what a commander allowed. This was a mission, but he seemed to have really put himself into the role and got deeply involved in it.
When he was at Crow's Beak Rock, he realized his abnormality and it took him a whole night to calm down. He thought he could maintain his rationality and carry out the next task.
It was only a few short days, and without him noticing, his emotions fluctuated again and again. He was happy because she was happy, and worried because she was worried. His heart was always out of control and he would feel as if he had lost something, or suddenly feel happy. Some images that shouldn't have appeared would emerge in his mind, and he would have some thoughts that shouldn't have happened.
This has clearly gone beyond the boundaries of comrades or friends.
This is a very irrational and immature behavior, and also...disrespectful to Comrade Su Tong.
He needs to manage his emotions in time, treat the task rationally and treat his role correctly before the situation gets worse.
Whether you are on a mission or outside of a mission, you should not harbor inappropriate thoughts.
He has to do it.
Yes.
Su Tong gave Qin Yi the pills according to the dosage. When he was giving him acupuncture on his leg, he found that there were several black spots of different sizes on his calf, in a splash-like shape.
Su Tong felt strange, "Brother Yi! When I gave you acupuncture yesterday, there was nothing like this."
Qin Yi looked down and said, "This was caused by the explosion of explosives on the plank road. I jumped in time and only splashed a little. It was not noticeable yesterday, but it started to scab today and turned black."
Su Tong was stunned, and something flashed quickly in her mind.
Qin Yi saw that she was deep in thought and did not interrupt her.
Until she suddenly turned around and grabbed Qin Yi's hand, and said with a somewhat inexplicable expression: "Brother Yi! I figured it out!"
This time, Qin Yi noticed his hands first.
Su Tong's hands were white and slender. When she held herself, they formed a contrast with her wheat-colored skin, yet they were surprisingly harmonious.
The longer they were together, the more physical contact they had. Not only him, but Su Tong also seemed to have gotten used to it.
Unconsciously, they... seemed to have had physical contact many times.
Like shaking hands, like back to back or... a hug.
Qin Yi was still lost in thought, but Su Tong had already let go of his hand naturally and said the following words excitedly.
"Brother Yi! I think I know who Afeng is!"
"What?" Qin Yi was also a little surprised.
"Brother Yi! Your judgment is correct! He has seen me! He is Meng Huzi! Wu Jiafu's boss, the bandit leader Meng Huzi!"
Qin Yi was a little surprised after hearing this.
Su Tong paused and asked, "Brother Yi! Do you know what Meng Huzi's full name is? Does his name contain the word 'Feng'?"
Qin Yi said: "I didn't participate in the case of the county bureau, but Cheng Gang stayed there for a while, he should know about it. Afeng... may not be his real name, can you tell me your judgment first?"
"When we were in Yunshan Village, I threw three firecrackers into the brazier. The charcoal flames flew everywhere, and Meng Huzi ran away immediately. That time, he had long hair and a beard that covered most of his face. I couldn't see his face at all."
"When I first met Ah Feng at Crow's Beak Rock, I felt that he was hostile to me. At the time, I thought it was normal hostility towards strangers and didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, he recognized me at the first moment."
"I noticed at the time that Afeng was whiter than the average man. If he cut his hair short and shaved off the beard that covered most of his face in order to escape capture, then it would not be surprising that his skin color was whiter than the average man."
Su Tong looked down at the black spot on Qin Yi's leg and continued:
"Later, when I was giving him acupuncture, there were some black spots on the back of his hand. I thought it was strange, but now that I see your legs, I understand that the back of his hand was also injured! He was injured when he tried to fish out firecrackers from the brazier that day!"
"There was another thing that I thought was a little unusual at the time, which was that he always spoke in a very low voice. When he spoke to Chunzhi, he was almost whispering. Later in the pit, his voice was always vague and weak. I even thought that he couldn't be so injured that he couldn't even speak! Now I understand, he was on guard. I couldn't recognize his face, but I had heard his voice, and he was afraid that I would recognize his voice!"
Qin Yi thought for a moment and said:
"If Afeng is Meng Huzi, some things can be explained. As a bandit leader, it is not surprising that he has a meticulous mind and the ability to see through people's hearts. It is also in line with his personality that he would use and then abandon Chunzhi."
"But the question is...what does he want from you?"
Su Tong also fell silent.
Apart from a confrontation with Meng Huzi in the mud house for a while, she had no other interactions with him.
Meng Huzi went to great lengths to burn down the ancestral hall and tricked her into falling into a trap, but he did not turn off her flashlight to destroy the instructions she wrote. It was obvious that he did not care about her life or death. In the end, he only took her wallet. What was he trying to do?
Qin Yi saw Su Tong's troubled face and comforted her:
"It's okay! Being able to infer that he is Meng Huzi is already a big progress. Take your time, and you will eventually find out the reason."
"Yeah!" Su Tong nodded.
"Brother Yi! Let me give you an acupuncture first."
She picked up the silver needle in her hand and pierced Qin Yi's leg one by one.
This time, many more acupoints were pierced than yesterday. With the assistance of the sulfur spring and my grandfather's original acupuncture method, miraculous effects could be achieved in the shortest possible time.
When the injection was stopped, Su Tong carefully recalled every detail of his meeting with A Feng in his mind.
But she soon paused.
Looking at the needle on Qin Yi's leg, she slowly raised her wrist and stared at the needle bag made of blue and white floral cloth for a long time.
Qin Yi said softly: "Su Tong, what did you remember?"
Su Tong turned his gaze towards Qin Yi, "I think... I know what he wants!"
Su Tong took off the needle bag from his wrist and carefully handed it to Qin Yi.
The needle bag was made of ordinary cotton cloth. The only special thing was that a copper coin was sewn on it.
