Chapter 106 Chapter 106
Xia Meng walked to the bedside and reached out to hold Li Zhou's hand.
The temperature of his palms was very high.
My breathing is also a little rapid.
Xia Meng stood up and wrung out a hot towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead and neck.
After turning the knob a second time, she came back and stood by the bed, glancing over his body.
"...Or maybe you should wipe it on your body as well."
She did it right away, and the next second Xia Meng started unbuttoning his clothes.
While she was taking a bath, Li Zhou probably took advantage of the time to go back to his room and take a quick shower.
He had already changed into his home pajamas.
Xia Meng unbuttoned his pajamas one by one.
When he opened his collar, he immediately saw her engraved pattern on his left chest.
Her sun, moon and stars.
Xia Meng lowered her eyes and looked at him quietly.
Unconsciously, I stretched out my finger and lightly touched the mark with my fingertips.
She couldn't help but be distracted.
"bite--"
At this time, a message came in on the phone.
Xia Meng clicked it and saw that it was sent by Ou Xu.
[Ou Xu: [photo.jpg]]
[Ou Xu: [photo.jpg]]
[Ou Xu: [photo.jpg]]
[Ou Xu: The report is out, and I can't see anything abnormal.]
[Ou Xu: How are things going over there? Is Li Zhou okay?]
Xia Meng opened the three reports sent by Ou Xu and read them carefully. All the data were indeed normal.
It couldn't look healthier.
So... Luo Xunfei didn't lie to her?
Is this indeed the aftereffect of "backtracking"?
Xia Meng replied:
[Xia Meng: Okay, thank you.]
Ou Xu: Do you still want to see Luo Xunfei's report? I took a look and he's basically healthy, just a little anemic or something, but everything else is fine.
【Xia Meng: No thanks.】
Xia Meng put away her phone and turned around to continue wiping Li Zhou's body.
Maybe the fever-reducing medicine and fever patch I took had some effect.
After Xia Meng finished wiping him, she took his temperature and found that his fever had dropped a lot.
It looks like I won’t wake up tonight.
Xia Meng rubbed the back of her neck and planned to lie down on the bed and sleep.
Before going to bed, remember to lock the door of the room to prevent someone from sneaking in.
Xia Meng lay down on the other side of the bed.
Rest your head on your arms and close your eyes.
…
"Li Zhou!! Are you trying to piss me off to death!!!"
From the end of the corridor came Wang Xiangyi's roar, which was full of energy and broke through the sky.
Xia Meng was standing a hundred meters away and could hear everything clearly.
She turned around and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar office corridor in front of her.
The walls and office area are in gray and white tones, and staff members in black tower uniforms come and go.
This is the Black Tower Special Service Center.
He actually entered Luo Xunfei's "retrospective" memory again.
It was so smooth that Xia Meng felt dazed.
She wondered if every time she closed her eyes in the future, she would have to run into this inexplicable world?
Just as I was thinking about it, Li Zhou's face suddenly flashed before my eyes.
Li Zhou was kicked out of the office by Wang Xiangyi, but he was still smiling. He walked briskly to her and winked at her with a smile.
Outside is the collective office area, where everyone is.
Someone poked their head out from their seat and jokingly said, "Li Zhou? You're so good! Are you pissing off Captain Wang again? You're so bold! Aren't you afraid that he won't help you with your work?"
Before Li Zhou could reply, someone else chimed in: "Isn't Xia Meng joining their team again? Li Zhou is feeling very confident now!"
Everyone was laughing, and it was obvious that they were no longer surprised by this scene.
In their special service center, one could often see Li Zhou making Wang Xiangyi so angry that he was fuming.
Xia Meng turned her head and walked along the corridor into Wang Xiangyi's office.
Knock knock on the door.
She stopped by the door and said, "Captain Wang, are you looking for me?"
Wang Xiangyi was pacing by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office. He turned around when he heard the voice, with anger still lingering on his face.
When Xia Meng saw him like this, she couldn't help but think of her past.
When Wang Xiangyi first became her teacher, he was often furious with her.
The reason is mostly due to slight differences in professional concepts.
To this day, she can no longer recall the specific ideas that were incompatible.
They are probably just trivial matters.
For example, she thought she could handle the unreasonableness of certain medical procedures, but she had to go through layers of approval and application, which was extremely cumbersome.
Wang Xiangyi exclaimed, "Ah!" and patted his head. "Look at me, I almost forgot. I was really pissed off by that brat Li Zhou."
Xia Meng asked casually: "What's wrong with him?"
Wang Xiangyi said, "What else can I do? He acts on his own all day long, thinking he can handle things on his own without filing a report. It's just wishful thinking. If something really goes wrong, who will take the blame for it? That brat!"
Xia Meng's eyelids twitched.
Wang Xiangyi changed the subject: "By the way, I'm looking for you here for something important."
Xia Meng came back to her senses and nodded: "You go ahead."
Wang Xiangyi assigned a task, saying that a serial murder case occurred in the city. After the public security department caught the suspect, they found that he was a special human being, so he was transferred to their special service center.
"The chain of evidence is almost complete. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be able to close the case soon. The case has been handed over to us, but we still need to go through some formalities. So, you'll be responsible for following up first."
Xia Meng was a little surprised.
She had been in the Black Tower for less than half a month.
Is it appropriate to let her be solely responsible for follow-up?
Wang Xiangyi said, "Of course not. You're just in charge of liaison. I need you to go to the Guidance Center and find Deputy Director Luo from the Forensic Identification Section and ask him to come and help conduct a forensic psychiatric evaluation. If there are no other issues, we can proceed to the next step."
Xia Meng said "Oh" and took the case.
Wang Xiangyi handed over the case documents and said, "The suspect will be brought here soon. Please hurry up and contact Deputy Director Luo."
Xia Meng responded.
She lowered her eyes, staring at the cover of the folder, and her heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Serial murder case.
Forensic psychiatric evaluation.
Deputy Director Luo from the Forensic Identification Department.
Could that Deputy Director Luo be called Luo Xunfei?
She left the office and stood outside the door, her hands slowly opening the folder uncontrollably.
On the first page of the document, there was a confession of the case and information about the suspect.
The suspect's name is Fan Xue.
For a moment, Xia Meng felt that her breathing was even getting faster.
Fan Xue.
It turned out to be Fan Xue!
How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
Or is it that all this is not a coincidence at all?
At this moment, Luo Xunfei's face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
——"Have you ever wondered why all this seems so real?"
——"Xia Meng, that's your original life."
Xia Meng slowly closed the folder again.
Wang Xiangyi just said that if nothing unexpected happens, the case will be closed soon.
If nothing unexpected happens, this case will soon end in an unexpected situation.
…
Xia Meng knocked on Deputy Director Luo's office door.
"Come in."
A gentle male voice came from inside the door.
Xia Meng opened the door and went in. When she looked up, she saw the man sitting behind the desk.
A familiar handsome face.
He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and was looking at some documents with his head half lowered.
He was wearing a white uniform representing his identity as a Black Tower guide, with an identity badge on his chest.
Three words were clearly printed on the nameplate: Luo Xunfei.
It's really him.
Luo Xunfei's eyes were gentle and peaceful. When he looked up at her, he smiled gently: "You are the new member of Team 7, Xia Meng, right?"
He didn't know her.
The way he looked at her was as calm as if he was looking at a younger person whom he met for the first time, with just the right amount of friendliness.
Xia Meng nodded: "Yes, Captain Wang asked me to give you the case information."
The public security system and their Black Tower system are not yet fully interconnected, so the procedures for transferring some cases are very complicated.
A written procedure is required first.
Luo Xunfei smiled and said, "Okay, put it on the table. I'll be here all day today. You can arrange the forensic appraisal any time you want. Just let me know half an hour in advance."
Xia Meng whispered a thank you.
More than an hour later, Fan Xue was brought in by people from the Municipal Bureau.
Xia Meng stood in front of her, looking at the little girl whom she had met a few times.
The little girl looked the same as when Xia Meng first saw her.
She has delicate features and a cool temperament.
Her lips are as red as blood and her nails are also bright red.
His eyes were large and deep, his gaze sharp, staring straight at everyone in front of him.
There was undisguised hatred in his eyes, as if he was calmly hating everything in the world.
It really fits the demeanor of a psychopathic serial killer.
The suspect was handed over smoothly.
Fan Xue was taken into the interrogation room of the Special Service Center.
As Wang Xiangyi had instructed, Xia Meng invited Luo Xunfei to conduct the final step of the judicial psychiatric evaluation.
Luo Xunfei had already read all the information in advance and entered the inquiry room with empty hands.
Luo Xunfei is a professional polygraph examiner in the Forensic Identification Department.
What they are best at is polygraph testing on suspects.
Wang Xiangyi also came to the monitoring room on the other side of the inquiry room.
He walked over to Xia Meng and glanced at her: "Why? Are you interested in a mental evaluation?"
Xia Meng looked back at him, noncommittal: "Not bad. I've never been in contact with it, so I'm a little curious."
In the interrogation room, Luo Xunfei raised his hand, condensed a point of spiritual power at his fingertips, and pointed it at the center of Fan Xue's eyebrows.
Then, his fingertips lifted slightly.
Xia Meng opened her eyes slightly and watched as Luo Xunfei's raised fingertips seemed to be drawing out strands of threads.
It was pulled out little by little from between Fan Xue's eyebrows.
The line is shining with colorful brilliance, and at first glance, it looks a bit like the scene in "Harry Potter" where Dumbledore extracts his memories and puts them into the Pensieve.
Wang Xiangyi explained to Luo Xunfei, "You don't know yet, do you? This is flashback. It's a very special and rare ability."
Xia Meng glanced sideways. Wang Xiangyi stood beside her with his arms folded. "Retrace, using mental power to enter the other person's mental picture, find the fragments of memory deep in their mind, and then piece them together. This ability is used in lie detection and is absolutely effective. No one can deceive Retrace's eyes. Just like people can lie, but their subconscious cannot."
Wang Xiangyi smiled and said, "Do you know why our Black Tower Special Service's crime-solving rate is over 99%? It's because of him. So far, there have only been three people in the history of the Sentry who have the ability to look back, and all three were guides. But only one is still alive, and that's him."
As he was speaking, Luo Xunfei in the inquiry room put down his finger.
He turned around and looked at Wang Xiangyi and Xia Meng through the one-way glass.
He shook his head slightly and said with great certainty, "It's not her. The murderer is someone else, probably named... Jiang Qiongran."
Xia Meng opened her eyes little by little.
