Between mountains and seas

Chapter 78 Doubt

"What is this?" Shao Jingxing whispered to Huang Yu, "Ichthyosis?"

"It's not like—" Huang Yu also whispered, "You have to take a closer look." He coughed and said to Wang Chenggang: "Mr. Wang, did Ms. Zheng's leg get hurt in the car accident?"

"Leg?" Wang Chenggang is not in the mood to discuss Zheng Yingying's condition with them at all now, but Huang Yu just woke up his father, so he can't help but answer, "Yingying's leg is not injured." Of course there were bruises at that time, but only There was a slight bone fracture, not even a fracture. Compared with the head injury, it could be said that there was no injury at all.

"Then this is on Ms. Zheng's lap..."

Wang Chenggang looked down, and couldn't help frowning, then turned to ask the nurse, "Is Yingying's leg still okay?"

The nurse quickly replied: "It has been relieved. But this skin disease is actually related to the immune system. Ms. Zheng can't use hormonal drugs indiscriminately in this situation, so she can only slowly let the body adjust itself."

"It's ichthyosis." Wang Chenggang turned around and explained to Huang Yu, "When Yingying got into a car accident, she had scratches on her legs, and this happened after the scars formed. The doctor said it was a genetic disease, but it didn't show up before. Now because of the weakened immunity after the injury, I have the disease."

Huo Qing frowned, and stretched out his hand to lift up Zheng Yingying's trouser leg a little. Sure enough, he saw that Zheng Yingying's entire calf was like this, but some places were lighter in color, and some places were rougher and darker.Because her skin is delicate and fair, she looks particularly eye-catching.

"This gentleman—" the nurse immediately wanted to stop her, but Huo Qing was quick. Before she could speak, Huo Qing had already lifted Zheng Yingying's other trouser leg, revealing the brown skin on her calf as well, but this time There are few brown parts on the legs, only a few small ones.

Although abrupt, Huo Qing's movements were very light, and he didn't even touch Zheng Yingying's skin.But Zheng Yingying suddenly screamed, and suddenly retracted her legs, and stretched out her hands to protect her legs.

"What's the matter?" Wang Chenggang was also taken aback by her reaction—didn't it mean that she had no reaction to the outside world?Why did Huo Qing just touch her lightly and react so violently?

Could it be that there is actually a possibility that Zheng Yingying will wake up?Wang Chenggang remembered the scene where his father was startled by the loud noise of the thermos cup falling to the ground, and he couldn't help raising a glimmer of hope.

But the nurse immediately dismissed his hope: "Ms. Zheng doesn't like people touching her legs. I applied the medicine while she was asleep before. If she is awake, it will be like this."

"Why did this happen?" Wang Chenggang only came to visit Zheng Yingying every now and then, and it was impossible to stay with her for a long time, so he really didn't know that Zheng Yingying would have such a reaction.

"This... The doctor said that it may be that the car accident left a deep shadow on Ms. Zheng. Touching her leg will remind her of the car accident subconsciously, so she will panic and fear... This is also a kind of ptsd .”

Wang Chenggang couldn't help but glanced at Huo Qing again, but saw that the three people were all frowning, but they didn't do anything else. The faint hope in his heart couldn't help but go out again: "Mr. Huo..."

Huo Qing still shook his head: "Sorry, this really hurt the brain, there is nothing we can do."

Wang Chenggang was silent for a long time, got up and trimmed Zheng Yingying's hair, and said to the nurse: "The weather is cold, you should keep warm when you go out to bask in the sun, don't blow the wind."

He babbled a few instructions, until the nurse nodded and agreed, and then said to Huo Qing: "Let's go, I'll take you back. Anyway, thank you all."

Huo Qing and the others did not ask Wang Chenggang to see them off, and politely rejected Wang Chenggang's proposal to invite them to dinner. As soon as they returned to the urban area, they got out of his car and sat down at a small restaurant with home-cooked food by the side of the road. .

"Have you seen any problems?" Shao Jingxing asked impatiently.He didn't see any problem with Zheng Yingying's leg, but felt that her reaction was a bit too intense.Obviously Wang Chenggang said that when the car accident happened, Zheng Yingying mainly injured her head, and her legs were only bruised and slightly fractured. If there was anything in that car accident that she would firmly remember in her subconscious mind and cause her to respond If there is an irritating reaction, it shouldn't be the legs.

"Yes." Huang Yu agreed with him, "And does ichthyosis develop like that? It only appears on the scraped part." Especially the few small marks on the right leg are particularly obvious, which are obviously the location of the scraped part The skin reacts to this.

Huo Qing thought for a while before saying, "I'm more inclined to think that what she's afraid of is the diseased skin on her legs." When Wang Cheng just touched her hands and hair, she didn't respond, but when she touched her legs, it was like this. Probably nothing to do with the accident.

"An ichthyosis, what's the matter?" Shao Jingxing thought wildly, "Is it because he was afraid that Wang Chenggang would not marry her when he saw her look like this?" How much it affected her.

Huang Yu immediately objected: "It's said that she grew up after the car accident. Obviously, she didn't grow it before. Wang Chenggang didn't even know about it." So Shao Jingxing's inference obviously didn't hold water.

While talking, Huang Yu gave Shao Jingxing a sideways look: "Brother Shao, are you rich people so picky? If he really has a skin disease, you don't want him?"

"I didn't!" Shao Jingxing retorted instinctively.He just remembered now that when he was in KTV, Huang Yu bumped into him as the "called person".At that time, he thought that we would never see each other again, so he didn't explain seriously. Now that we are colleagues, we have to make this matter clear!

"...I've never been like that!" Shao Jingxing almost swore to the sky.Conscience of heaven and earth, what he said is the truth. Ktv or some place like this or that, the people there can be taken away as long as they pay, and he is afraid that it will be unclean.

Of course, he, he also brought people back to the villa, but not many times!Compared with those cronies and friends, he is so pure that it can make people laugh.

However, the joke at that time has become a blessing now-think about if he really visited countless people, or if he really clicked on people during ktv, how can he still hold his head up now, how can he face Huo Huo? Green?

Huang Yu looked him up and down, pouted.

"Why?" Shao Jingxing was a little guilty, "What I said is true!" If he had known today, he would have stayed away from those people back then.Then again, he thought that he would spend his whole life being a dandy, but who would have thought that he would now defend the world?

Huo Qing didn't notice what the two were talking about, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Wang Chenggang didn't know, but Zheng Yingying probably knew that she would have this kind of skin reaction, or maybe she was not afraid of this kind of skin reaction." Skin reaction, but what this reaction represents. This kind of fear is hidden deep in the heart, even though the brain is damaged and the mind is no longer clear, the subconscious fear is still there."

He paused, and added: "It's also possible that her car accident has something to do with it." So the combination of the double fear of car accident and illness made her react so violently to other people's touch.

"What does an ichthyosis represent?" Shao Jingxing's head suddenly flashed, "Mermaid? Could it be that she has awakened the mermaid ability, so her body will also change? Well, speaking of it, she is also a singer..."

"But Mr. Wang didn't listen to the musical she sang." Huang Yu had already thought of what Shao Jingxing hadn't said.But when Mr. Wang got sick, Zheng Yingying had been in a car accident for several months, so she couldn't be blamed.

Shao Jingxing patted his thigh: "But there were people who had a heart attack because of Zheng Yingying's concert before!" At this moment, Emma's second uncle's usefulness was revealed!Otherwise, who is going to search for this information like a delusional victim?

"Wait," Shao Jingxing immediately took out his phone, "I'll ask my second uncle!"

This time Shao Zhongyan answered the phone, with a rare and comforting tone: "Just now Wang Cheng just called and said that Mr. Wang is awake." This unlucky nephew finally grew up, and this shot saved someone. From then on, the Wang family owed a lot of favors.

"I didn't save it." Shao Jingxing first poured a big basin of cold water on his second uncle, "If he wants to appreciate the favor, he also receives Huang Yu's affection. You can at most be credited with a recommendation."

Shao Zhongyan was having lunch, and he was so angry that he almost choked on a mouthful of rice. Then he thought that the credit for the recommendation is also a credit, and the Wang family still has to accept it.After comforting myself like this, I finally calmed down a bit, and I didn't intend to argue with the little brat: "Then what's the matter with you calling?"

"Last time you told me that a minister from the Ministry of National Security had an accident after hearing Zheng Yingying's concert..." Shao Jingxing hit his second uncle casually and that's fine, it's a matter of business.

"That? He passed away last week..." Shao Zhongyan couldn't help feeling sorry, "I told you to go and have a look, but you didn't go..." Wouldn't it be another credit if he could be saved?

However, why did my nephew mention this?Could it be that there is really a problem with the concert, can't you listen to it?

"Don't ask so many questions. Be disciplined." Shao Jingxing blocked Shao Zhongyan's question back righteously, "Don't talk nonsense, just pretend you don't know anything and just be careful." Since there are no people left , the second uncle is useless, and hangs up the phone casually.

On the other end of the phone, Shao Zhongyan scolded a bastard, and angrily put the phone back on the table. Just as he was about to continue eating, someone sat across from him with a lunch box: "Director Shao, who are you so happy to call?"

"My nephew." Shao Zhongyan recognized this middle-aged man as Kang Qiao, a member of the Health Emergency Office. His name was quite literary, but he didn't look too literary.

"Oh, I heard that Xiao Shao went to the national security department, or the special department?" Kang Qiao smiled naturally, "So young, he really has a bright future. How did Director Shao educate the children, so promising. It's not like the one in my family, who is in his teens If you don’t understand anything at all, you just know to stand up to me!”

Shao Zhongyan was originally a long-sleeved and good dancer, and he could say a few words to anyone, not to mention that he was very happy to hear Kang Qiao praise Shao Jingxing, so he said casually: "All children are like this, with a rebellious mentality. My family is as awkward as when they were teenagers. Don't Say it's time, call me just now to repay me."

Kang Qiao couldn't help laughing: "I just heard you say Deputy Director He?"

"Oh——" Shao Zhongyan returned to his words, but his tone was tight, "Aren't you going to enter the national security system? I probably want to find out what kind of temper the leaders above have—little bastard, if you don't work hard, you just want to take advantage of it!"

"It's because the child is clever." Kang Qiao defended Shao Jingxing, "It's okay to inquire about the leader. But isn't Deputy Director He passed away?"

"Yeah, I don't know why he doesn't even know about this." Shao Zhongyan complained, "So, it's not sensible to inquire about a person!"

"I don't blame the child. Speaking of it, Deputy Director He is also very sudden..." Kang Qiao sighed, "It was said that he could be promoted, but who knew that he would get sick all of a sudden... I'm not going to say something nice, just He A person as strong as the deputy director, who is sick like that, might as well... Alas. It's just too young, only in his 40s, what a pity."

Shao Zhongyan poked at the rice and echoed, "Yes. I also heard that Deputy Director He is very temperamental." In fact, he was not familiar with that Deputy Director He at all.Long before he was promoted to the capital, Deputy Director He had been ill and hospitalized for two years.It was because of Mr. Wang's matter that he went to search for information, so he knew a little about this Deputy Director He.

It is said that the deputy director, He Feng, was a well-known hawkish young man in the Ministry of State Security before, and his style of acting was quite tough.He fell so suddenly, of course everyone said it was a pity, but in fact no one was celebrating.But Shao Zhongyan didn't care too much, he was a past person after all.What's more, the faction he was on had nothing to do with He Feng, if it wasn't for Shao Jingxing, it would have nothing to do with him whether the other party died or lived.

"Well, it's said that you get that disease because you are too tempered and too angry." Cambridge sighed, "I really need to be less angry."

The two chatted a few words, Shao Zhongyan finished his meal first and left, Kang Qiao lagged a bit behind, and took out his mobile phone when he got to a place where no one was around: "...It sounds like he was asking about He Feng... No, this guy has a very tight mouth and didn't reveal anything. I also heard him call, and I think something is wrong... Yes, his nephew is in the special affairs department, could it be the special affairs department...Qi Tongmin probably won't, Miaoyin He got the throat bone of the bird, and he also has a share... I know, I will observe it again. Besides, Miaoyinniao should go out to avoid it..."

Shao Jingxing didn't know what his call brought to his second uncle, and he was regretting to say to Huo Qing, "It is said that he is gone. It was only last week...I really should have gone to see it then." If he had known that his second uncle was really not delusional, he should have gone to see it.

"You may not be able to see anything when you go. We haven't even confirmed the matter of Zheng Yingying." Huo Qing said lightly, sounding like contempt, but Shao Jingxing heard comfort from it: "Then now How to do it?"

Huang Yu is still working on the puzzle: "Suppose Zheng Yingying has the mermaid ability—or some other phonological ability, and murdered He Feng, and then was killed and silenced, so she got into a car accident. It makes sense. Moreover, her skin mutation is probably a kind of self-protection of the ability after the car accident, and fish scales appeared on the wound. Or because she was insane and could no longer control the ability, traces were exposed on the surface of the body. "

Shao Jingxing had a sudden thought: "Can you take some skin scraps for testing?" If it is fish scales caused by supernatural powers, it should be different from human tissue, right?

"There must be procedures." Huang Yu clicked his tongue, "Do you think that anything can be sent to the laboratory? Then let's get someone's hair and nails if we suspect anyone, what is this? "

Huo Qing added: "If we want to do this, we must first put forward the reasons for the application, and then seek the consent of the parties involved." Zheng Yingying can't agree to this now, so she probably needs to seek Wang Chenggang's consent.

"It's so troublesome..." Shao Jingxing's expression collapsed, "Aren't we also here to investigate the case?"

"Investigating cases doesn't mean you can do whatever you want." Huo Qing said seriously, "It is precisely because we have abilities beyond ordinary people and handle cases beyond ordinary people's imagination, so we must emphasize discipline. Trouble is indeed a bit It's troublesome, but if there is no discipline, it may be used as an excuse to disregard the rights of ordinary people. If things go on like this, some people will feel superior to others and regard ordinary people as inferior. At that time, if they act at that time, they will completely deviate from the special affairs Coe's original intention - with great power comes great responsibility, not with great power comes great power."

"I see..." Shao Jingxing just said a word, and he was scolded so much, he lowered his head listlessly.Huo Qing is so serious!But he looks really good when he's serious.Forget it, since it looks good, let's train it once it's done.

Huo Qing didn't know what was going on in his mind. Seeing that he was very educated, he patted his hand under the table in relief.Shao Jingxing immediately became happy, grabbed Huo Qing's hand with his hands, and began to scratch the other's palm with his fingers.

Huang Yu didn't know that there was still such a relationship under the table. He listened to Huo Qing's lesson very seriously, and then continued the topic: "Then shall we apply? I don't think there is enough reason. Also, I didn't pour cold water on it. I think her skin may not be able to find anything."

"Eh?" Shao Jingxing couldn't help but look sideways, "Didn't you say that it might have grown out of supernatural powers for self-protection?"

"Even if it is self-protection with supernatural powers, what grows may only be thickened horny and skin. Whether it is really different from human tissue depends on the level of supernatural powers." Huang Yu gestured at himself, "For example Saying that you cut a piece of my body and test it now, you may not be able to find anything wrong with the test."

It turned out to be the case.Shao Jingxing suddenly felt powerless, isn't that what he said before?It also caused him to be educated, which made him look very undisciplined.

"It's not for nothing." Huo Qing said lightly, pulling his hand away from Shao Jingxing's, "If there is no such thing as Mr. Wang's illness, all of this is indeed just speculation, but now that Mr. Wang has this situation, we There is enough reason to report. The question now is, if Zheng Yingying caused Zhou Feng's illness, then who induced Mr. Wang? If Zheng Yingying was murdered and silenced, then will someone take over her job afterwards? ?”

Shao Jingxing blinked, and finally said a name: "Tang Jia."
