The people who hired me are dead

Chapter 21

Sidney warmly greeted Yun Xinzhuo who came in through the door. He pointed to Elvis who was sitting in the interrogation room, and said to Yun Xinzhuo, "I just chatted with him for a long time, but I think he Can't hear anything."

Yun Xinzhuo looked at Elvis, who stared straight at the ground, holding the mineral water bottle in his hand.

Beckinsale leaned against Meryl with a blank expression, and when she heard Yun Xinzhuo's voice, she raised her head and glanced at him with tired eyes, nodded and showed a stiff smile.

"Thank you." Beckinsale said softly.

"Do you want some hot milk?" Yun Xinzhuo handed over the paper cup.

"Thank you." Beckinsale took the paper cup mechanically, held it in his hand and stopped talking.

"Can you give me a pen or a camera?" Meryl held Yun Xinzhuo's wrinkled police uniform and raised her head.

"Of course, what do you want to do?" Yun Xinzhuo leaned over and said.

"I quarreled with my mother before I went out to fight for a place. I was afraid that I would not have a chance to let her know that I love her very much." Meryl's tears rolled in her eyes, and she grinned and said, "But fortunately, I still With an older brother and two younger sisters, my mother shouldn't be too uncomfortable."

"It'll be fine." Yun Xinzhuo put his arms around Meryl's head, let her lean against him, and said seriously, "It's fine, you can go home soon."

Meryl pursed her lips, grasping Yun Xinzhuo's police uniform with her pale fingers, tears dripping on his clothes.She took a deep breath and said with a choked voice, "Please... I don't want to die. I'm only 15 years old. I didn't do anything wrong..."

Yun Xinzhuo's mood will be affected by the surrounding environment, he can't stay here for a long time.Meryl's crying, Beckinsale's numb expression, the sound of the water bottle in Elvis' hand, and the despair in the air all stimulated Yun Xinzhuo's nerves.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and showed a comforting smile to Beckinsale who was looking up at him.

"Not afraid, not afraid." Yun Xinzhuo patted Meryl on the back until she managed to calm down.The two girls hugged each other, grasping the tiny sense of security, and curled up to keep each other warm.

"Ivis, come out with me." Yun Xinzhuo squatted in front of the boy, held down his shivering body, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, we will protect you."

Elvis was helped up by Yun Xinzhuo, and he walked out of the interrogation room without saying a word.Yun Xinzhuo tentatively touched the mineral water bottle in his hand. As if frightened, he held the bottle tightly with his eyes wide open.

Yun Xinzhuo led him to the compartment he was going to come out of, which was a lounge on the third floor of the police station.Some things that were originally placed here were cleaned out and replaced with some tested furniture.

Morgan sat on the couch, playing chess with Red on the low table.There is a small fan and two cans of Coke next to the chessboard.

Hearing Elvis' voice, Morgan raised his head and smiled at him friendly.Reid's gaze swept over Elvis, and fell on Yun Xinzhuo's tightly pursed lips behind him.He frowned worriedly, took out a nougat from his satchel and handed it to Yun Xinzhuo.

Yun Xinzhuo unwrapped the package and stuffed it into his mouth, holding the candy in his mouth and showing a bright smile to Rhett.

A pile of crayons and messy papers were scattered on the floor of the room. Little Liv was sleeping on the sponge cushion, and she turned over and snored a little.Lilian was sitting next to her, looking down at The Lancet magazine, writing and drawing with a ballpoint pen on the nearby notebook from time to time.

There is a set of simple tables and chairs by the window, and sunlight streams in through the open window.The curtains hung on both sides, fluttering slightly in the wind.

The wind blew the curtains, and the curtains swept across the table lightly.On the table was a decorative glass vase and a fruit bowl with toothpicks stuck in it.There was also a black schoolbag next to the fruit plate. That schoolbag took up most of the table, making the table extremely crowded.

Yun Xinzhuo walked over and put the hot milk on it casually.He embraced Elvis, let him sit on the chair opposite, got up and found him a blanket.

"Will you put down the mineral water bottle?" Yun Xinzhuo said softly.

"Can't I take it with me?" Elvis said hoarsely.

"Alright, do you want an apple?" Yun Xinzhuo picked up an apple from the fruit plate and handed it to Elvis.

Elvis took it and squeezed the toothpick, and took a bite of the apple in a daze.

Yun Xinzhuo took out a bottle of peanut butter from his schoolbag, scooped out a little bit and spread it on the slice of bread, rolled it up and stuffed it into his mouth, saying vaguely, "Is the apple sweet? If it's sweet, I want to eat a piece too."

"Hmm." Elvis said sullenly, rubbing the toothpick casually in his hand.

Morgan and Reid who were playing chess did not know when they adjusted their angles. They looked at Ives at the window vaguely, and the movement of chess in their hands slowed down.

The room echoed with the soft thud of the chess pieces falling, and the small snoring of little Liv.The warm sun shone on Elvis, and the sweet smell of peanut butter wafted around him.

The curtain fluttered from time to time, gently rubbing against his thigh, and occasionally resting on his hand hanging by his side, as if coquettish with him.

Elvis' tense nerves relaxed a little, he closed his eyes, put down his mineral water bottle, leaned back on the chair and pulled the thin blanket tightly and fell asleep tiredly.

Yun Xinzhuo put down the peanut butter, secretly took out a medicine and took it in case of emergency.

The medicine gradually took effect, and Yun Xinzhuo felt much more comfortable.He took a long breath, and his body instantly relaxed. It seemed that with this sigh, all the accumulated negative emotions were discharged from his tired soul.

He has many calluses on his hand, which used to hold a beautiful sword, as he squeezes a sandwich.The body of the sword is three feet and three inches, and the weight of the sword is six catties and nine taels.His sword is very light, as light as a literati's saber.His sword is also very fast, so fast that people can't see his moves clearly.

Yun Xinzhuo's sword is very proud, it has been with him for 20 years, only lost to Zhongyuan Yidianhong, and he did not let go of his sword until his death.

He used to have no medicine to take, and when he was unhappy, he would wipe his sword and drink Zhuyeqing while wiping his sword.He doesn't remember anything when he's drunk, and he can use his sword to eliminate evil, and fight the wicked heartily.

The pain in his body would make him temporarily forget the trauma in his heart, and at that time he had only this way.

Now he has lost the sword that accompanied him for 20 years, and he holds the gun issued by the police with the hand holding the sword.He drank the wine here while cleaning his gun, but he couldn't find the feeling he used to have.Fortunately, his psychiatrist prescribed a lot of medication.When he felt uncomfortable, Yun Xinzhuo took those medicines and slowly survived for three years.

Yun Xinzhuo often had suicidal thoughts, but after recovering, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this place, there was wine, a stove, and peanut butter.When he is calm, he often fantasizes that one day he can cure the disease in his heart, and then find a warm place to spend his life with the person he likes.

He hopes to have two children and a cat or two if he can.He will take good care of his family and protect them with his life.

Yun Xinzhuo drank the hot milk in the paper cup, counting his medication course.He felt that as long as he insisted on eating for a while, the disease would be cured.He lowered his eyelids, a faint smile curled up on his lips.

Seeing Yun Xinzhuo's smile, Morgan looked away in relief.He raised an eyebrow at Rhett and whispered, "What do you think Death will do."

"The radio on the ground is plugged in, and the windows are open. I am with Ivis. The first thing that can save him is the cloud." Reid put down the black knight in his hand, turned his head and whispered, "If death can change the weather , there will be heavy rain soon.”

"The weather forecast says it will be sunny today." Morgan shook his phone and said.

Morgan snorted, he looked at the chessboard and thought for a moment, then made a move.

"When I first went to the cloud police, I found a strange bloodstain on the wall, and a similar bloodstain on the steel plate on the ground. It seemed that someone had been penetrated by the steel plate, but I couldn't find the victim." Morgan quietly glanced at Lilian who was not far away, and said to Reid.

"What about the clothes, did you find them?" Rhett asked with a frown.

"No, but I know how it disappeared." Morgan blinked and said, "Someone put it on, hid it under his clothes, and brought it in front of me..."

Before he could finish his words, Liv, who had been sleeping all this time, suddenly got up in a daze.She rubbed her eyes, reacted for a while, yawned, picked up a crayon and began to draw slowly on the drawing paper.

Rhett and Morgan stopped what they were doing and looked at Lilian together.

The wind blew up the curtains, brushed against Elvis' arms, and swept up the hot milk on the table.Yun Xinzhuo, who was taking a nap, raised his hand to support the cup, and dried the milk on the table with a towel.

"What's wrong?" Elvis opened his eyes and looked at Yun Xinzhuo nervously.

"It's nothing, go on sleeping." The air gradually became humid, and Yun Xinzhuo looked at the sky that had darkened at some point, as if he smelled a strong smell of blood again.

The surveillance camera turned in the direction of the window, aiming at Elvis who was sleeping.In the monitoring room, the sheriff was staring at the screen, and several medical staff were standing by his side.

On another screen, Gordon escorts Meryl into a waiting room.Al smiled gently at Meryl and led her to the sofa.

"Drink some water, it will make you feel better." Al handed over a glass of water and sat opposite Meryl.

"Is the coffee machine broken?" Gordon patted the coffee machine and said softly while holding the half filled coffee cup.

Hu Qi leaned on the sofa, watched his movements, got up and walked over to study the coffee machine with him.

Meryl was writing the will, she bit the pen, thought for a while and wrote 'Mom, it's going to rain again.I remember that when I came out, it was raining heavily.I argued with you that I would never come home again, but I was just angry.I actually know you love me...'

Al sat next to Meryl, squinting and squinting at the bottom of the vase on the table.
