Chapter 36 Urgent Matters

I opened the door, opened the roller shutter door, and cursed impatiently: "Stop knocking, it's so fucking death!"

It stopped outside. As soon as the door opened, He Jin's anxious face came into his eyes. He pulled my wrist and ran towards the car. I pulled his hand away, looked around, and asked, "What are your nerves?"

He Jin was so anxious that tears were almost falling out, "My ancestor, come back with me quickly, something happened to Ouyang Lan!"

"What?!"

"It's true. I thought something happened last night. I thought you had something wrong, so I didn't answer the phone. In addition, the group of people who were in charge of the team suffered heavy casualties. Now the director wants us to check the number of people."

I sat in the co-pilot and rushed to the Weilan Hospital. He Jin patiently explained to me. After getting off the car, he hurried to the ward where Ouyang Lan was. When I saw a thick layer of gauze wrapped around my head, I pushed the door and broke in. The female nurse in a knee-length dress stopped me and said sternly: "The patient needs to rest now!"

I stopped and wanted to see Ouyang Lan's situation anxiously. He Jin followed up, took a breath, and said to the nurse: "Let him go."

The nurse listened to He Jin's words very much and made way. I rushed up and saw that the originally beautiful and flawless body was wrapped in bandages, and one leg was wrapped in plaster, hanging in the air. I breathed smoothly, as if I was asleep.

The nurse walked up and said, "She is out of danger of life. She will get better if she cultivates for a while."

He Jin pulled me out of the ward and asked me to go to the seat in the corridor, handed me a cigarette, lit one myself, spit out a cigarette ring, and said to me: "There is another person you need to go and see."

"who?"

When He Jin led me to the ward where my old lady lived, I almost couldn't help but cry in my heart. He Jin said calmly: "Her son fell down from a high building while working outside and fell to death, but he thought his son was alive. After confirming that he was mentally ill. Are you planning to tell her the news of her granddaughter's death?"

With a buzzing roar, my mind exploded. But I saw a familiar figure running on the glass window in front of me. I exclaimed in surprise, "Nannan!"

He Jin looked at me with a puzzled look on his face and suddenly shouted. I looked around and found that people around me looked at me like a psychopath. He Jin patted my shoulder and sighed: "A person cannot be resurrected by death, so I will leave the body to you to bury. As for the murderer, I will tell you if I find it."

I was puzzled, could they not see the floating Nannan? But He Jin did not see it, and his eyes were still looking straight at the dynamics in the ward. I understood that only I could see Nannan, and suddenly I felt relieved. But I felt a little unhappy, and she didn't tell me, which made me worry in vain.

Seeing that I was very sad just now, He Jin was suddenly shocked and now he was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. He thought he was too stimulating, so he stopped saying anything and stayed by my side quietly.

Two tears slid out of Nannan's cheeks and asked, "I don't know why my heart hurts when I see her. Who is she?"

I have heard that dead souls seal up the most important memories, and I don’t want her to recall her previous memories again, so I said, “She is the person you are closest to.”

Nannan whispered to herself, her body drilled through the glass, flew to the old lady, floating beside her, her eyes were staring at her old wrinkled face. It was too late to stop her, and He Jin had already begun to doubt whether I was mentally ill and actually spoke to the air.

I could only watch quietly, but when I saw Nannan just staying by the old lady's side, I felt relieved without any other excessive actions. I asked, "What are you going to arrange for her?"

He Jin bounced the cigarette butt into the trash can on the side and said, "When her son died, she left some money. We plan to send her to the nursing home and let her spend her old age."

"but……"

I said, "So what?"

"But the money was taken away by her relatives. It's not certain whether she can get it back now. If she doesn't have that money, she can only send it home."

I frowned and said, "She doesn't have relatives, why don't she let them take care of her?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If they were willing to raise them, would the grandparents and grandchildren have lived in that broken ship for several years? Now this is a family matter, and our police officers can't solve the fundamental problem even if they intervene with violence."

"Then let her die?" I was sorry to Nannan anymore and decided not to let her only relative live such a miserable life. I hope He Jin can do it like a solution.

But He Jin shook his head and let me speak out, but he couldn't stop. He said without saying a word. Finally, he said, "I will try my best to get the old lady back that money." Then he changed the subject and said, "Don't worry about others first. Now you are a clay Buddha who crosses the river and cannot protect yourself."

I was surprised and said, "Me? What's wrong with me?"

He Jin frowned and looked around and seemed to be reluctant to go to a crowded place and said, "Go to the bureau with me, there is a person who wants to see you."

I knew I had to go, because He Jin had already taken out his handcuffs. As long as I dared to say no, he would throw me to the ground with a set of grasping hands, and then take me back to the police station like a prisoner. This would be bad. Although I wanted to leave, Nannan was still inside.

I hesitated, and He Jin's tone immediately became cold, "What, I have made the biggest concession, what else do you want?"

He heard his tone that he shouldn't have brought me here at first. At this time, Nannan flew out of the ward, and the expression on her face had returned to calm. She was sandwiched between He Jin and I, and said to me: "I'll go with you."

I watched the car gradually deviate from the direction of the city police station, heading towards a place I had never been to, passing through a pine forest, and parked in front of a three-story villa. The house seemed very old, with green vines crawling outside the walls, and a few crows stood on the iron door.

When I walked into the yard, I saw a piece of untrimmed weeds, the windows were also broken, and the Western-style carved wooden door was half-closed, as if it would fall off when a gust of wind blew.

I couldn't help but wonder, what did He Jin take me to this place for?
