Chapter 52 Chapter 52 "Lu Hean, your partner is here to pick you up...
"What did you say?" Pei Shuyu stopped suddenly.
Gong Wen's words were like a stone thrown into calm water, causing ripples.
"You went to see Meng He?" Pei Shuyu asked. "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Yes, on the day of the fire. I had something to discuss with Meng He, so I went. No, you didn't ask me about it, did you?" Gong Wen explained. "And I didn't stay long that day. I left quickly after we finished talking."
Pei Shuyu immediately pulled out his phone and found Meng He's number. His finger hovered over the dial button, but he hesitated. The previous question had already made Meng He very unhappy. If he called him directly now, he would probably get nothing out of him.
He put away his phone and turned around decisively: "Let's go back to the research institute and ask him directly."
"Why go back?" Gong Wen stopped him. "Why bother? I can just call and ask him where he is."
Before Pei Shuyu could respond, the call was connected.
Gong Wen walked aside and briefly exchanged a few words. His expression turned slightly surprised. He hung up the phone, walked back, and said incredulously, "What a coincidence! He's in this hospital right now. He said he's here to see his boyfriend, Dr. Qiu Tingxuan, in the glandular surgery clinic."
…
Considering the unpleasantness just now, Pei Shuyu let Xiao Qingyang and Fu Zhouxing move freely.
Gong Wen also received a phone call and left first.
The corridor outside the glandular surgery clinic was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.
Pei Shuyu hated this smell because it always reminded him of some bad memories.
They had just walked to the door of the clinic and had not seen Meng He yet, but they saw an unexpected figure first - Lu Hean was sitting on a recliner in the corridor, one hand touching the back of his neck in confusion.
Pei Shuyu paused.
Lu Hean heard footsteps and looked up to see him. He was stunned for a moment: "Captain Pei? Why are you here?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Pei Shuyu replied briefly, his eyes fixed on his hand touching the back of his neck. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, nothing." Lu Hean put his hand down, his tone a little hesitant. "It's just that a small scar appeared on the glandular area at the back of my neck. It hurts a little today, so I came to ask the doctor to check it out. It's not a big problem, so I repaired it."
Pei Shuyu's eyes flickered for a moment, then quickly dimmed again.
Lu Hean stood up and blocked the door.
Pei Shuyu frowned and said, "Move aside."
"You haven't answered me yet, what are you doing here?" Lu Hean crossed his arms and blocked the doorway. He seemed to be determined not to speak until Pei Shuyu spoke, and the two of them would just wait here for a while.
With a "click", the door suddenly opened.
A nurse poked her head out and asked, "Has Mr. Lu Hean arrived? It's your turn."
Hearing this, Lu Hean smiled and said, "Okay, right away." He then raised his eyebrows at Pei Shuyu and said, "Captain Pei, let's go in together?"
"No……"
He didn't dare go in with Lu Hean. Qiu Tingxuan also knew that the two of them had been together. If they appeared in the same frame, who knew what kind of topic would be brought up.
Only Lu Hean went in, and considering Qiu Tingxuan's cold personality, he probably wouldn't ask too many questions.
Pei Shuyu sat down on the chair and started playing with his phone.
There aren't many apps on my phone. Apart from the chat app, there's only one Candy Crush game, which is a standalone game that doesn't require an internet connection.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Lu He'an had no choice but to give up.
He had just put his hand on the doorknob when he heard footsteps in the distance.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing who the voice belonged to, Pei Shuyu raised his head instantly.
Meng He came over from the water station, holding a thermos cup. He looked at Pei Shuyu and then at Lu Hean, asking a soul-searching question: "You two...are not..."
Pei Shuyu had a bad feeling and shouted, "Meng He! I came to see you about something."
"Ah? What do you want to talk to me about? Haven't we already finished talking? Don't tell me it's about the arson case again, damn! You don't really doubt me, do you?"
"That's not it." Pei Shuyu stood up. "Let's talk for a moment."
After saying that, he ignored Lu Hean's gaze behind him and walked away with Meng He.
"Didn't you say you two broke up? You came to the hospital together after breaking up!" Meng He felt incredible.
"We really broke up. We didn't come to the hospital together."
"Why are we here together if we didn't come here together?!"
"How did I know he would come here?!" Pei Shuyu was overwhelmed. "No, it's not important. This is not the point. I came here to ask you why you lied to me."
Meng He shook off Pei Shuyu's hand. "What did you say? What lies?"
Pei Shuyu stood up straight, "You weren't on duty alone that day, were you?"
Meng He, who had been so stubborn, suddenly felt like a balloon that had been popped. His momentum suddenly deflated. He felt a little guilty and said, "What did you say? I don't understand."
Seeing his guilty look, Pei Shuyu gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to continue hiding this? What are you hiding? Who are you hiding it for? Do you know that the arsonist might be the omega gland-ripping murderer in Hong Kong recently? Now the arson suspect is you!"
Meng He was frightened by these words. He looked around and lowered his voice, "I'm not crazy! Why would I set fire to the materials? Tell me, what is my motive? Where is your evidence?"
Pei Shuyu really couldn't guess the man's motive for burning the information, but they did have a witness as evidence.
"Gong Wen said it himself. He came to see you that day. Do you want me to call him now?" While speaking, Pei Shuyu stared at Meng He's eyes, trying to see some clues.
Lu Hean had already gone in, and they were the only two people in the corridor.
Seeing that Meng He was still unwilling to speak, Pei Shuyu took out his cell phone and was about to call Gong Wen in front of him.
Meng He held him down and said, "Alright, alright, I said it's alright."
Pei Shuyu put away his phone and said, "Then tell me."
"He just came to talk to me about work that day, and things started to get heated after we left. Gong Wen is my friend, and I thought this matter had nothing to do with him, so there was no need to bring him up. It's OK for everyone to suspect me, because I didn't do it anyway, so I don't care if others say a few things about me behind my back."
I never expected that Meng He is still a goody-goody as always.
"Are you crazy? You're hiding something like this?!" Pei Shuyu slowly exhaled, looked at Meng He tiredly and said, "Are you sure you haven't hidden anything?"
Meng He tightened his grip on the thermos and blinked twice, "No more..."
Although Pei Shuyu studied medicine in college, he also knew a little about psychology. Because he had gone through a period of depression and had gone to the doctor to no avail, Xiao Qingyang bought a bunch of psychology books, saying he would teach himself so he could treat him.
As a result, the entire book was given to Pei Shuyu to read. In order to prevent Xiao Qingyang from suffering again, Pei Shuyu healed himself.
At this moment, Meng He's reaction was very real.
When people are nervous, the subconscious micro-expressions they make cannot deceive others.
Meng He lied to him again.
Pei Shuyu was a little disappointed and sighed, "Come back to the police station with me this afternoon and tell them everything again. Don't lie, don't hide anything."
"Got it." Meng He said dejectedly, "Then I'll take some water to Tingxuan first. Hey, it's been a while since you last met, right? Do you want to come in and meet him?"
Thinking that Lu Hean was still inside, Pei Shuyu was a little hesitant.
He was afraid that the young couple would say something. With Lu Hean's intelligence, no, anyone present who was not a fool should be able to guess what they were saying.
Pei Shuyu declined Meng He's invitation, "No, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
"No... Tell me, how did you two break up? Hey! I'm curious! Tell me in secret."
He only knew Meng He's gossip. He was an alpha, but he had no interest in omegas. After they chatted, he found out that Meng He, an alpha, actually had the same sexual orientation as an omega: they both liked alphas!
Pei Shuyu recalled that when they first met, Meng He was mixed in with a group of omegas.
His shirt buttons were undone, the lapels fluttering in the sea breeze, revealing his muscular chest. He wore only a pair of floral shorts, his slender legs darting across the beach. Meng He looked like a proper older brother, and with his lively personality, he found ease in the crowd, chatting cheerfully.
Then, Qiu Tingxuan took the man back with a gloomy face.
Pei Shuyu had no idea how the two of them ended up together. However, he couldn't think that way, after all, he and Lu Hean were also in an AA relationship, and the eldest brother didn't say anything about the younger brother.
He didn't know what the relationship between the two was like now, but then he thought again: It couldn't be worse than what he and Lu Hean had.
Looking at Meng He's curious eyes, Pei Shuyu said with a stiff upper lip, "We broke up, and Lu He'an has lost his memory. So he doesn't remember me now. Please don't let anything slip in front of him, okay?"
Meng He nodded, seeming to understand. "You've lost your memory... Then why did you break up?"
Why are we back here again?
Pei Shuyu didn't want to answer and wanted to pretend he didn't hear. But he knew Meng He was very curious, and if he asked Lu Hean... he would be finished.
In order to avoid this from happening, Pei Shuyu did not hesitate to make up a rumor about himself. He said, "I like someone else and don't like Lu Hean anymore. Is that reason enough?"
"Who do you like?"
Pei Shuyu's face was full of black lines.
One lie requires thousands of lies to cover it up.
His mind raced, and he carried out the deception to the end: "Just... an omega."
Meng He's expression changed, as if something in his cognition had collapsed. He looked at Pei Shuyu with horror, "Oh my God, the image of you as a great man in my mind is gone... I never thought... you would be this kind of person?!"
To put it bluntly, isn't it just a case of falling in love with someone else? At most, calling him a scumbag will do, but why does Meng He act like he has done something heinous?
"What are you talking about? What kind of person is Captain Pei?"
Behind him, Lu Hean's voice sounded.
When did he come out?! Pei Shuyu's eyelids twitched for no apparent reason, and he had no idea how much Lu Hean had heard.
An ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
Afterwards, whenever Pei Shuyu thought about it, he felt that he really should go to the temple to worship.
Qiu Tingxuan opened the door and came out immediately. He saw Meng He first and asked, "Why does it take so long to get some water?"
Meng He hurried over to greet him, his tone a little coquettish, "Haha, I met an old acquaintance and chatted for a while."
"Aren't you chatting with some nurse this time?"
"Hey! Why bring it up again?"
Qiu Tingxuan noticed Pei Shuyu behind him, pushed his glasses up, and looked at him carefully for three seconds.
For some reason, Pei Shuyu's eyelids twitched even more violently... What happened today?
Then Pei Shuyu heard Qiu Tingxuan say to Lu Hean: "It just so happens that I don't need to take you home. Lu Hean, your boyfriend is here to pick you up."
-----------------------
Author's words: Pei Shuyu: My eyelids keep twitching
Lu Hean: My glands are always hurting.
Okay, Xiao Lu, you don’t have to test it this time.
But the memory has not returned.
