Bai You woke up at noon the next day.
The sunlight shone through the glass onto the hospital bed. Although the sunlight was not dazzling, it was too bright. Bai You frowned unbearably.
He opened his heavy eyes.
The smell of disinfectant was very strong. Bai You was a forensic doctor and was very familiar with this smell, so even before she saw what was placed in the room, she knew that she was in a hospital.
His throat was so dry and painful that Bai You couldn't help but cough.
Unexpectedly, footsteps were heard in the ward immediately. Mu Sen walked to the head of the bed, looked at Bai You with forbearing eyes, and said: "You're awake."
Bai You nodded, "Pour me... a glass of water."
Mu Sen nodded, took a disposable cup and helped Bai You get a glass of water.
Afraid that Bai You’s wound would hurt and it would be inconvenient for her to drink water, he took a disposable straw and helped her put it to her mouth.
Bai You looked at the tube next to her mouth and frowned. She was just stabbed, not severely paralyzed.
Bai You patted the bed and said to Mu Sen: "You...help me shake the bed first."
Mu Sen glanced at Bai You without saying a word, put down the cup of water, and helped her rock the bed.
After the bed started shaking, I helped her adjust her position and put a pillow behind her.
After Bai You sat down, he picked up the water cup and put it in Bai You's hand.
Bai You looked at the tube. It was really an eyesore. He frowned, pulled it out, and threw it on the bedside table.
Mu Sen frowned. "It's more convenient to use a straw. What if you pull the wound this way?"
Bai You took a sip of water, and after the sore throat had subsided, he looked at Mu Sen and said with a hint of disdain, "My wound is on the lower right side of my abdomen. As long as I don't lift my arm, it won't be involved. It's just a drink of water, it's nothing serious."
Mu Sen glanced at Bai You without saying anything. He took a chair from behind him, put it in front of the bed, and sat down.
Bai You was really thirsty, and she drank the whole glass of water in small sips.
Mu Sen looked at the empty cup and asked, "Do you want more?"
Bai You shook his head, "No need."
Mu Sen nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Mu Qingxue was taken away by the police for intentional homicide. Her case should be tried in court. The physical evidence is the dagger, the victim is you, and the witnesses are us. All the conditions are met, and the result should be out soon. As for Mu Jiang, he illegally trafficked in people and illegally occupied other people's property. He is guilty of at least ten years."
Bai You curled his lips. "Wasting someone with a knife, causing serious injury, should get her sentenced to three to ten years. Plus, she injured someone in the hospital, and there are a bunch of other miscellaneous charges. Ten years in prison is a sure thing. Mu Jiang can get that long, and he can still keep his precious daughter company."
Mu Sen looked at the slight curve of Bai You's mouth and narrowed his eyes. He asked calmly, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
Bai You raised an eyebrow in pleasure, "Not bad."
Mu Sen leaned back and looked at Bai You calmly, as if asking, but also puzzled. "What did you say to Mu Qingxue in the villa? Her mental state was very unstable. When she was taken away by the police, she was still shouting your name frantically. That look was quite surprising."
Bai You glanced at Mu Sen meaningfully and chuckled. "What's so surprising about that? Her mental state has never been right. She's been crazy and silly, not quite normal. As for calling my name, it might be because she hated me so much and had no place to vent, so she was driven crazy. Or maybe she felt that she had hurt me and fulfilled her long-cherished wish, so she was too happy for a moment and went crazy."
"You know, after great joy or sorrow, people become much more active than usual. Going crazy isn't surprising. Besides, you can't tell if someone is crazy or not from the outside. If things really don't work out, why don't you have your colleagues take him to a psychiatric hospital for a checkup? It's not that difficult."
Mu Sen looked at Bai You who was speaking to him seriously.
He chuckled and relaxed.
However, compared to his posture, his words were much more tense. At least Bai You didn't expect him to ask that.
"You did it on purpose."
Bai You roughly knew what he was talking about, but she was also good at pretending to be confused.
She frowned and looked at him in amusement, "What are you talking about?"
Mu Sen stared into her eyes and said seriously, "Don't you know what I'm talking about?"
Bai You looked at him with amusement, playing a riddle. "Should I know? Mu Sen, we've known each other for quite some time. Why are you beating around the bush with me? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I won't do anything to you. I just finished surgery, so intellectual games aren't for me. Besides, guessing all the time is really boring."
Mu Sen suddenly stopped smiling and looked straight at Bai You, as if he wanted to see into her heart. Bai You was very generous and let him see enough openly.
Mu Sen pursed his lips, looked at Bai You, and said, "Don't you think the timing of Mu Qingxue stabbing you was too coincidental? We just arrived and saw her plunge the knife into your body. It was as if she had consciously made us witnesses to prove her guilt of murder."
Bai You's expression remained unchanged, still looking at him with a faint smile. Listening to his doubts, he raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile: "So you suspect that I framed her?"
Mu Sen shook his head. "That's not the case. Like I said, we've become witnesses. In fact, we saw Mu Qingxue kill people. It wasn't just one person who saw it, but a group of people. And after stabbing once, she even tried to pull out and stab you a second time. It's a fact that she killed you."
"I'm talking about the timing of all this happening. It's so wrong. It's too coincidental. We just arrived and Mu Qingxue's dagger was inserted into your body. The coincidence is unreal."
