Weird Talker

Chapter 11 Coming from afar
After summer, the green belts in Fucheng turned dark green.

Occasionally a gust of wind blows, and the branches and leaves shake, revealing sporadic blue sky.

Xi Wutong stepped on the shadow of the tree and walked forward quickly. The shade of the tree spread to the Jumu Hospital, paving a dark vein of blood.

This is her first summer in the south, and she has traveled thousands of miles to Fucheng. Apart from work, she has other more important things to do.

Today, she received an unusual case.

In Fucheng Jumu Hospital, Xi Wutong looked out the window and remained silent.

Today's weather is very good, the sun shines on every corner of the fabric, it seems that even the darkest places are brightened.

"Doctor Xi, what do you think of the girl's psychiatric appraisal report?" asked the old doctor next to her.

Xi Wutong shook his head and said, "It's very strange, but it's not the first time something like this happened. What about the previous situation?"

The old doctor remained silent, acquiescing to her question.

"Let's talk about it when her family members come."

"The suspect's brother is here, Dr. Xi, please come here."

Xi Wutong nodded, and walked out with the identification report.

----

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when Qin Manjiang arrived at Jumu Hospital.

Now is the time when the sun is fierce, and he was already sweating when he arrived at the hospital.

Under the guidance of the police, he met a capable female doctor with a ponytail.

"My surname is Xi. Let me know the basic situation of your younger sister Qin Yiyi."

Qin Manjiang nodded: "I will cooperate."

"When did your younger sister, Qin Yiyi, start to suffer from mental illness?"

"Two years ago."

"What time is it?"

"The day my father died."

"I want a specific time."

"On September [-]rd, in the evening, around [-]:[-], my father walked into the river under the watchful eyes of my sister. At [-]:[-] pm, the body was salvaged downstream."

Qin Manjiang's narration was not emotional at all. Xi Wutong occasionally glanced into Qin Manjiang's eyes, but after observing it, she seemed to feel a little strange.

"Student Qin, is your relationship with your sister good?"

Qin Manjiang thought for a while and replied: "Ordinary, not good, not bad."

Xi Wutong recorded it truthfully.

She seemed lost in thought.

After a while, she said: "We learned that your sister completely lost consciousness a month ago and was placed in this Jumu Hospital by you. Last night, Jumu Hospital planned to arrange a treatment for her, right?"

"That's right." Qin Manjiang nodded.

Xi Wutong put down his pen, looked straight into Qin Manjiang's eyes, and said, "Student Qin, can you tell me the exact location of your home?"

"Fucheng City, Mianshan District, Xiangshui Town, Xiajiang Village, Jiangbian No. 52."

"Mr. Qin, your eyes blink quickly, what's wrong?"

"is it?"

Qin Manjiang didn't answer, just smiled.

Xi Wutong frowned again, she stood up and said, "Sorry, please wait a moment."

"Is my sister okay?" Qin Manjiang asked.

Xi Wutong nodded: "In the intensive care unit, please wait a moment."

She went out in a hurry, and Qin Manjiang saw some unbelievable expressions from her expression.

The squad leader stood outside the door, looking at Qin Manjiang worriedly. Since he came to the hospital until now, she has not been able to say a word to him.

Qin Manjiang leaned quietly on the chair and closed his eyes slightly.

Although the injuries he suffered in the fire had disappeared, he was still mentally and physically exhausted. He didn't even have lunch and a good rest, so he rushed to the hospital without stopping.

Five minutes later, Xi Wutong came back.

She sat down opposite Qin Manjiang and said seriously: "Mr. Qin, I have to tell you something. Your sister Qin Yiyi is suspected of intentional homicide. The deceased is a villager from Xiajiang Village, Xiangshui Town, Mianshan District, Fucheng City, from your hometown. Villagers..."

Before she finished speaking, Qin Manjiang shook his head. Although his tone was not fierce, he said with certainty: "Impossible, she has been in a coma in the hospital, and my hometown is at least six hours away from Fucheng city by car, and it takes ten minutes to go back and forth." Two hours, with many mountains and poor road conditions, it really takes longer. She can't do it, it wasn't her who killed, and it can't be her."

What he said was well-founded. In fact, Xi Wutong also thought so.

but……

"It's true that your sister has an alibi. Most of the medical staff in Jumu Hospital and your classmates can testify for her. However, there are eyewitness reports that the murderer was indeed her, and your sister has confessed herself."

Xi Wutong's words made Qin Manjiang frowned.

"She confessed herself?"

"Can I go and see her?"

Xi Wutong nodded and said: "Yes, please come with me, but your conversation must be under my supervision."

"Thank you." Qin Manjiang got up and said to her.

Xi Wutong also breathed a sigh of relief. So far, this classmate Qin has been quite calm and cooperative with her work, which made her a lot of preparations useless.

But this is a good thing. Losing your temper can only vent your emotions, not solve the problem.

The two walked out one after the other.

The squad leader followed up quietly, and said in a low voice, "Student Qin...I will help to testify that your sister didn't kill anyone, she's been here all this time..."

Qin Manjiang nodded, and after thinking about it, he said to her: "Squad leader, you worked hard last night, you should go back to school. After I finish these things, I will go to school to go through the withdrawal procedures."

The squad leader's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he subconsciously pulled Qin Manjiang's sleeves: "You want to drop out of school? But... Student Qin, I will explain the situation to the teacher, and the school will understand you. You don't need to drop out... "

Qin Manjiang quietly broke away from her pull, and shook his head slightly. He looked into the monitor's eyes, his voice was not loud, although he was smiling, his expression seemed to be regretful:
"Thank you, monitor, but I can no longer return to a normal life."

After speaking, he turned around and followed Dr. Xi.

The squad leader who wanted to continue persuading him looked at him blankly. The bright sunlight from the window in the hospital corridor came in and shone on his body, but there was no trace of warmth.

Qin Manjiang is clearly right in front of his eyes, but he seems to be walking in another world.

She subconsciously took a step forward, then stopped abruptly, watching the distance between the two get farther and farther, until Qin Manjiang disappeared.

----

In the intensive care ward, the police personnel are closely watching.

Led by Dr. Xi, Qin Manjiang came to the ward, knocked on the door, and finally saw the familiar figure——Qin Manyi.

She has a round face with dimpled eyes that curve when she smiles, and she is chatting happily with a female police officer.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, she also looked in the direction of Qin Manjiang and Dr. Xi.

"Sister Xi!"

Qin shouted with satisfaction and cheerfulness.

Doctor Xi also nodded with a smile. At the same time, she said to Qin Manjiang in a low voice: "Be mentally prepared."

mentally prepared?

Qin Manjiang was a little confused.

But soon, he understood what Dr. Xi meant.

Qin Manyi turned his head sideways, looked at Qin Manjiang curiously, and asked:

"who are you?"
