Chapter 114 Guardian
When Chi Xia and Luo Xun rushed to the police station, Qu Bai stood up from the flowers in the backyard of a private residence in the suburbs.
Holding a shovel for planting flowers in his hand, he asked Ade beside him: "Has the video been sent?"
"I sent it to Yu Lei from the special case team and Miss Chi's friend Shi Tianyi. Miss Chi should have seen it by now."
Qu Bai turned around again, bent down and pulled out an extra flower seedling: "Does the fox need my help?"
Ade took the seedling from his hand and said, "She acted rashly this time, and that person is very unhappy. We are just playing along with her, and it won't arouse suspicion."
"Um."
Qu Bai filled the soil and trimmed the branches next to it. "If we want to find the source of the video, where will we find it in the end?"
"It's an Internet cafe in the south of the city. The people were selected by Scorpion himself. They are trustworthy and cannot be traced." Ade said.
"The nurse in the nursing home was called..." Qu Bai frowned, as if he couldn't remember.
"My name is Pan Haili."
Ade said: "Fake identity, fake name, the person has disappeared, Fox arranged it."
Qu Bai didn't say anything. After a while, he stood up again and threw all the tools in his hand into the basket beside him: "She only knows these unconventional tricks."
The setting sun shone on the flowers and leaves in the garden, and the flowers swayed in the wind. He spoke slowly: "Chi Xia will probably be very angry."
Ade looked up: "Although the fox's attempt to cause trouble made that person unhappy, sir..."
Qu Bai turned around and walked back, his back to the light, and finished what Ade hadn't finished saying: "But that person really appreciated her planning this murder game. He was only unhappy about the fact that Fox tried to stir up trouble on the Internet."
Ade followed him and said, "Yes, and sir, Fox said he wanted to see you and has mentioned it three times."
"Then let her come."
There was no emotion in Qu Bai's voice, as if he had turned into a machine in an instant: "Don't be here, you're dirtying my place."
Ade said ok, and then he asked, "How is Li Yiming?"
"He's still in the detention center. He will be transferred to the prison in a while. Luo Xun is keeping a close eye on him. Do you think we should..."
"Need not."
Qu Bai stopped, shook his head and sneered: "Li Yiming is a smart man, he knows what to do. We don't need to intervene unless it is absolutely necessary. As for Scorpion, Fox will probably cause trouble for him. Tell him to be more cautious during this period and don't let her take advantage of him."
"good."
Ade responded and his cell phone vibrated. He bent towards Qu Bai and walked aside to answer the call.
Qu Bai continued walking forward, and when he reached the door, someone handed him a towel.
He wiped his hands, turned around to look at the flowers in the garden, pointed to an empty piece of land and said to the people around him: "That piece, plant gesang, make a path from here, and plant hydrangeas on both sides."
The person next to him took the towel and responded respectfully. Ade walked over and waved, and the man quickly retreated.
"Miss Chi's drug test results are out."
Ade came over and handed the tablet to Qu Bai with both hands: "The main function of that drug is to stimulate the brain nerves, affecting the temporal lobe of the human body, thereby stimulating the memory system."
Qu Bai's face darkened, and he seemed reluctant to read the report. He lowered his arms and asked, "What about the side effects?"
Ade looked at him in confusion. Seeing his gloomy face, he said in a low voice, "It aggravates the pain during the onset of the disease and damages certain functions of the body. Moreover, after taking the medicine for a period of time, the body will be very weak."
Sensing Qu Bai's emotions, Ade immediately added: "But sir, this medicine has been improved to reduce the degree of damage."
"It's not that simple." Qu Bai said.
Ade hesitated for a few seconds: "Yes, the prerequisite for Miss Chi to use this medicine is that the memory center must have been stimulated, which is equivalent to..."
He thought about it and came up with a phrase: "It's like fighting poison with poison. After injecting the drug, she will not only feel great pain, but her consciousness will also become disordered. She may...may do something that hurts others and herself in this situation, unless she has great self-control."
A cold knife seemed to burst out from Qu Bai's calm and indifferent eyes. He raised his arm, and the thin tablet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
He glanced through the entire report, as if he was wrapped in frost.
"She has it." Qu Bai said, "She has the ability."
Ade looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Go ahead." Qu Bai turned his head and looked over.
Ade took a deep breath, not daring to look him in the eye : "Sir, every time that person examines you, you suffer no less than Miss Chi, and the fox always interferes, you..."
Even though he could sense his displeasure, Ade was a little scared, but he continued: "You have to think about yourself too! Miss Chi has so many people protecting her, but you are different..."
"Ade."
Qu Bai suddenly let go of the coldness in his body: "Is there anyone you want to protect?"
"Yes." Ade nodded firmly without hesitation.
Qu Bai smiled and waved for him to follow, and the two of them entered the house.
He said, "You have it, Scorpion has it, and of course I have it too. Besides, the dispute between me and that guy, or between me and Fox, has nothing to do with Chi Xia. The three of us are a mess."
Ade was silent for a while, then took a half step back: "Sir, I crossed the line."
"You're right."
Qu Bai patted his shoulder and said, "Everyone has someone they care about. You care about me, and I am deeply moved."
Ade looked at him in amazement , and after a while he grinned, which formed a great contrast with his burly figure and his always fierce face.
But this change only lasted for a few seconds, and Ade returned to normal and asked Qu Bai: " Sir, it is still a bit dangerous for Miss Chi to use this medicine. Should we..."
“No need.”
Qu Bai shook his head, but he was a little proud: "Lin Cuo took the medicine, which means Chi Xia has discovered that someone has touched the medicine."
"Once Lin Cuo knows about this, he will not let her hurt herself. Someone can control her with confidence, and we don't have to interfere. Let's end this matter here and don't let the fox find out."
"Then Miss Chi's memory..."
Ade paused and said, "The premise of Li Yiming's deal with you is that he doesn't want her to recover her memory."
Qu Bai smiled, with contempt in his eyes.
He picked up the tea bowl and slowly skimmed the tea leaves. "Deal? A deal with him can be canceled at any time. If he wants to cooperate, then cooperate. If he doesn't want to cooperate, then forget it. And one thing is, he was wrong from the beginning."
"What?" Ade was a little curious.
Qu Bai took a sip of tea, his brows relaxed slightly, and he spoke slowly: "Only by knowing the truth can she live a dignified life."
Otherwise, that blank memory would make her forever curious and always feel that she owed something. The better her life was, the more uncomfortable she would feel.
Even if there has been blood, torture and pain in the past, if people want to live with a clear conscience, they must have the right to know the truth.
"Sir, I understand."
Ade responded, and when he saw Qu Bai waved his hand, he turned around and left.
After he left, Qu Bai lowered his head, twisted his fingertips lightly, and murmured: "Little fox, we must live our lives to the fullest, don't you think?"
It was getting dark over there, but the task force was working in full swing.
All the tiny clues were laid out, and they had to figure out who was behind Zheng Lanshu and who was so cruel as to use an old man to complete his own killing game.
No one slept that night, and everyone went in and out in silence until two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, when everyone gathered in the task force.
Curly-haired man lay directly on the table, trembling: "Tonight, I ran all over the place, from technical investigation to trace investigation, and then the trace investigation came out to find Lao Ning. Apart from having a human body, I am just a Monkey King who was split into two parts. I tore my clones apart on the spot, and I am going to die soon..."
Cao Bin smacked his lips, his mind already in a trance: "Then you better be careful with your hips, oh my, it must hurt so much if you tear it apart like that..."
Curly closed his eyes and patted his head: "Brother, wake up, people are talking about the sky and you are talking about the earth, what about your glorious moment of not closing your eyes for 72 hours? You have to keep it."
Cao Bin said he didn't want to stay, he just wanted to sleep.
Lin Wenjue had just drunk a large cup of strong tea and was now tilting his head back to put eye drops in his eyes.
In the haze, he saw Luo Xun and Chi Xia also coming back.
