Zhou Shixun was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure?"
What he meant was, can we be sure that the person selling candied haws was following Zhou Luancheng unintentionally, or was he really following Zhou Luancheng?
Sheng An Ning thought about it. The person who bought the candied haws was staring at the direction Zhou Luancheng left while busy packing up his stall, and then followed him in a hurry. The more he thought about it, the more he thought something was fishy.
He nodded with certainty: "Yes, he must have followed Luancheng. If it was an accident, why did he keep staring at the direction where Luancheng went, and even dropped two strings of candied haws in a panic. Do you think he was the one who poisoned Xiaowan?"
Zhou Shixun was silent for a moment and said nothing.
Sheng An Ning was a little anxious: "Oh, do you want to go and have a look quickly, or tell Luan Cheng."
Zhou Shixun was not in a hurry: "It's okay. If Luancheng can't even find this, then he doesn't need to be a police officer. Don't worry, Luancheng's reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance capabilities are very strong. You can see that something is wrong, which means that this person has no experience in tracking. Luancheng will definitely find such a person."
Sheng An Ning was still worried: "But worrying makes you confused. I'm afraid that Luan Cheng has something on his mind and has ignored this."
Sheng An Ning was very worried about Zhou Luancheng's current condition. She looked haggard and her eyes were dazed. It was understandable that she had lost sight of the situation for a moment.
Zhou Shixun was very sure: "No, some things are engraved in our bones and will not be forgotten so easily."
Seeing Zhou Shixun so confident, Sheng An Ning felt relieved. She looked down at Mu Xiaowan and wanted to cry again. Would it hurt?
…
Zhou Nanguang escorted Zhou Keming out of the ward, and then accompanied him downstairs, pleading once again: "You must find a way to save my second son's wife."
Zhou Keming still had some respect for Zhou Nanguang: "Old Zhou, you are too polite. Not to mention that you saved my life when I was a military doctor, but later when I was not in Beijing, my sister-in-law took care of my family. You are also indebted to me and my family."
"I'm very sorry about my sister-in-law's matter. I will definitely try my best this time. As long as we can find the right remedy, there will definitely be a solution."
Zhou Nanguang sighed: "My children, it's not easy. Each of them is excellent, but they have suffered too much. You have also seen Luancheng, don't you find that Luancheng has changed a lot over the years?"
Zhou Keming nodded: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Luancheng for many years. I heard that he died before, and I felt sad for a long time. It's really good that he can come back now. But Luancheng looks gentle, but not as friendly as before."
Zhou Nanguang nodded: "Liancheng is just like Chaoyang. He has been homesick since he was a child and values his family very much. But after three years of disappearance, he has changed a lot. His personality is still as gentle and polite as before, but he is not as homesick as before. When he was in Beijing, he would go home whenever he had the chance, plant flowers and plants, and chat with me and your sister-in-law. But now, he is busy with work and rarely goes home."
He always knew that it was true that he was busy at work, but it was also true that he didn't like to go home.
My home is not far from the Public Security Bureau. If I want to go home, I can do so during an hour’s break.
Zhou Keming didn't quite understand: "What do you mean? Luan City has changed?"
Zhou Nanguang nodded: "I suspect Luancheng has psychological problems, and he may have been seeing a psychiatrist. If something happens to Xiaowan this time, I'm worried that Luancheng won't be able to get over it."
Although he didn't say it, he saw the changes in the children.
He never asked Zhou Luancheng about it, knowing that Zhou Luancheng didn't tell his family because he didn't want them to worry. But he couldn't imagine if Luancheng could accept the blow if Xiaowan got into trouble.
Zhou Keming was silent for a long time, and said with assurance in his consolation: "Old Zhou, I will definitely rescue Xiao Wan. They are all good children, and nothing will happen to them."
Zhou Nanguang was moved and said sincerely, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Zhou Keming shook his head: "Don't be so polite. Don't mention favors. I'm a doctor and this is what I should do."
…
It was not until the evening that Zhou Luancheng hurried back to the hospital. Seeing Sheng Anning was also there, he called Zhou Shixun out to talk.
In the corridor, Zhou Luancheng lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. He choked on it and felt the spiciness. It seemed that it could help him suppress his heartache. "I went back to investigate the case of Li Changgeng and his gang. It's different from Xiaowan's case. You still remember that Li Changgeng's poisonous insects parasitized cats and dogs, and they were very disgusting and big."
Zhou Shixun frowned: "Then is there any suspect target?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "No, but I feel that the target has appeared. When I left the hospital today, someone followed me. In order not to alert the enemy, I did not alert them and arranged for others to follow them."
"He was a man selling candied haws at the hospital entrance. I asked someone to investigate and found out that he had been selling candied haws at the hospital entrance for a long time. His life trajectory was also very simple."
Zhou Shixun didn't say anything, but he felt that something was still wrong. He tried hard to think about all the points and see if there were any connections between them.
Zhou Luancheng obviously thought of this as well: "Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you with the hospital these two days. I need to find the person behind as soon as possible. I can't let Xiaowan suffer too much."
The two returned to the ward. Zhou Luancheng went to see Mu Xiaowan first, tucked the corner of the quilt for Xiaowan, and then stood up and said to Sheng Anning, "Sister-in-law, you go back first. There are children at home. You and brother go back together. I will stay here at night."
Sheng An Ning looked at Zhou Luancheng with bloodshot eyes, and spoke hoarsely: "Luancheng, go back and have a rest. Your eldest brother and I are here. An An and his family have their aunt and my aunt at home. It's okay."
"If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it, and Xiao Wan will definitely be distressed."
Zhou Luancheng insisted: "It's okay, I can hold on. Sister-in-law, brother, you guys go back first. You haven't spent enough time with An An and the others these past two days. Go back and spend some time with them. Just come over tomorrow during the day."
Sheng Anning had no choice but to go home with Zhou Shixun. Before leaving, she went to get a meal for Zhou Luancheng and filled the thermos with hot water. She insisted on watching Zhou Luancheng eat before leaving.
Sheng An Ning just didn't know that as soon as they left, Zhou Luancheng rushed into the toilet and vomited everything he had eaten.
These past two days, he really couldn't eat anything. It was as if he had returned to the time before he met Mu Xiaowan. He felt very uncomfortable even eating something.
Late at night, Zhou Luancheng sat down beside the bed without any sleepiness, staring at Mu Xiaowan without blinking, and did not dare to reach out to touch her, for fear of startling her and making her disappear.
In the second half of the night, there were still sporadic sounds of firecrackers outside the window, and the New Year celebration was still going on.
The sick Mu Xiaowan suddenly moved her fingers and hummed softly like in a dream...
