Chapter 101 The Flower of Gaoling in Criminal Investigation (5)
It is no exaggeration to say that all the colleagues who saw this scene were stunned.
Everyone in the Seventh Branch knew how much Captain Lin hated physical contact with others. He would not share anything with others. He touched corpses more often than living people, even though he was wearing gloves.
But, such a Captain Lin actually put a coat on Shui Wei in public.
And, if I remember correctly, that coat was Captain Lin's own, right? I saw him wearing it this morning.
Those who were eating instant noodles, chatting and laughing, and those who were about to throw away the instant noodles after eating, all seemed to be injected with time magic, and they kept their original postures and watched this scene in a daze.
Shui Wei, who always liked to observe the surroundings, rarely paid attention to the expressions of her colleagues. Her brain was already filled with the horrible scene she had just seen.
Until the boyfriend in front of her gently took her hand and passed the warmth to her with his own hand.
Touching Shui Wei's cold hand, the man looked at Shui Wei's face, frowned slightly, followed her line of sight and looked back at the empty corridor, seeing nothing, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
He simply took Shui Wei's hand and walked towards the office.
"It's too cold outside, come in."
Shui Wei was still in shock, subconsciously moving her feet to follow Lin Shiheng out.
—— Bang.
It wasn't until the door was gently closed that the group of people squatting outside, who were petrified, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wasn't it just my hallucination? Captain Lin put clothes on Awei?"
"Not only that, they were holding hands!"
"Oh my god, should I go buy lottery tickets? The sun doesn't rise from the west."
"When Captain Lin agreed last night, I thought he was joking. I was more certain today when I saw that he was no different from usual. I didn't expect it to be serious."
"I guessed it a long time ago. When have you seen Captain Lin joking? I shared it with you at lunch today, and you actually thought I was overthinking it."
A group of people, like students whose teacher suddenly left during class, burst into great enthusiasm for the scene they just saw, and gathered together to discuss happily.
Feng Kaiming really noticed it. Although he was a little surprised that a cold character like Captain Lin would show affection in public, he was not as shocked as other colleagues who seemed to see a meteorite hitting the earth.
He stood up, walked to where Shui Wei was standing in three or two steps, picked up the fallen sausage, and rubbed it on his clothes.
Tsk tsk tsk, people in love don't even want delicious food.
***
Lin Shiheng took Shui Wei to her desk, and watched her sit down in a state of disarray. His eyebrows moved, and he turned around to take the water cup on her desk and filled a cup of water under the water dispenser.
"It's a little hot, don't drink it yet."
The man stuffed the quilt with water into Shui Wei's hands, and said something in a faint voice, and stood in front of Shui Wei's desk.
Shui Wei held the cup, and the temperature of the hot water transmitted through the cup made her calm down a little, but her heart was still beating with shock because of the scene she just saw.
"When I walked over just now, you were a little bit wrong."
The man's slender hand fell on the table, and his white fingers tapped the table lightly. When he looked at Shui Wei, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
The magnetic voice faintly entered her ears: "The pupils are dilated, the face is pale, there is cold sweat on the forehead, the fingers of both hands are stiff and slightly curled, your body conveys to me the signal that you are very nervous."
"Then the lips trembled, but the legs did not move at all. That is the performance of wanting to escape but the brain automatically cuts off the control of the body because of the stimulation."
After Lin Shiheng finished speaking, his eyes fell into Shui Wei's eyes, and he met her eyes, with a handsome face full of confidence.
"Your eyes are always on the corridor, but when I look back, there is nothing in the corridor. Shui Wei, what are you afraid of?"
"I, I..."
The palm is the temperature transmitted by the hot water. Shui Wei is still in confusion, but she didn't expect that before she had time to think about whether to tell Lin Shiheng, he had already guessed everything from her facial expression.
Thinking of the figure that suddenly appeared and disappeared, she could almost feel the pain in her heart because of nervousness.
But can such things be said?
Now is no longer the superstitious era of the past. Everyone believes in science.
No, it's not right.
Shui Wei forced herself to relax slowly. She believed in Lin Shiheng more than science.
She had witnessed this man's strong and calm side no matter where he was, and had heard countless legends about him. Now he was still her boyfriend. No matter what, he was more trustworthy than others.
After trying hard to convince herself, Shui Wei's lips, which had turned slightly pale due to nervousness, regained some color.
"I just saw Zou Mingfang in the corridor."
"Zou Mingfang?"
Lin Shiheng really used a question sentence. What reassured Shui Wei was that he did not directly deny or comfort her that she had seen it wrong, nor did he show a frightened look. He just repeated these three words and pretended to listen carefully.
"Yes, it was her."
Shui Wei closed her eyes and recalled with a pale face: "I saw her dead. Her hands and feet were tied with ropes. Her face was white and swollen. She was wearing the clothes where the body was found yesterday. Her eyes were open and she was standing in the corridor looking at me."
Even though it had disappeared, Shui Wei couldn't help but hold the cup tightly when she recalled the horrible scene on her own initiative, and even her breathing became heavier.
"The state of the soul after death?"
Lin Shiheng's expression remained the same, as if what he heard was not a ghost, but a normal event.
"Is she still there now? We may need a monk or a priest."
It must be said that his calmness unconsciously removed some of Shui Wei's nervous fear.
"She's gone. Just now when you came out, you seemed to have bumped into her, and then she disappeared."
"Captain Lin, aren't you afraid?"
"It's just a soul."
The man explained in a calm voice: "Someone once did an experiment. When a dying person lies on a scale, the weight is different from when he is put on the scale after death. Therefore, he proposed that humans have souls. When people are alive, they stay in their bodies. When humans die, their souls leave their bodies. This is the weight of the soul."
Shui Wei was a little stunned. She had heard this example before, but she was busy studying every day before, and later she went to work. She had no interest in studying this, so she just listened to it.
"But she looks scary."
Shui Wei said with a pale face and empty eyes: "Her face was so swollen that I couldn't see her original appearance. Her eyes were white and she just stared at me. It was more terrifying than a horror movie."
"Compared to horror movies, our profession is destined to make us come into contact with different corpses. I once saw a corpse that was dumped after death. When it was discovered, it was already huge and made several colleagues vomit."
Lin Shiheng said bad things about Feng Kaiming expressionlessly: "Especially Feng Kaiming, he rushed to the scene just after dinner and saw the corpse. He vomited all the food he had just eaten, and some of it splashed on my shoes. I think his vomit is more disgusting than that corpse. "
He accused his girlfriend dryly, who was looking at him with a pair of clear eyes. There was even a trace of grievance in his eyes that were always emotionless: "Those are the new shoes I just bought."
It was so rare for a man who always had a cold face to be aggrieved because of a pair of new shoes. Shui Wei almost laughed out loud, and the previous tense and fearful atmosphere disappeared because of this.
"You are right. Although I am still a newcomer, I have read a lot of information when I was in school before, and I have seen more terrifying corpses. Although Zou Mingfang's face is swollen and deformed, it can't scare me. "
The reason why she was scared was that it shouldn't appear in her eyes.
Thinking of this, Shui Wei suppressed her fear and began to worry about the future: "Will she do something to me?"
"The soul is also a person's transformation. Even if she really turns into a soul, she should look for the murderer, and she shouldn't do anything to you."
That makes sense.
Shui Wei's body gradually relaxed: "Every grievance has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. Even if it is a fierce ghost, she shouldn't come to me."
"But what if she appears again next time?"
Lin Shiheng looked at his girlfriend whose expression had begun to warm up, and thought for a while: "It's not yet determined why she appeared. I will watch over you during this period. If she appears, we can communicate with her and see what she wants to do."
His attitude was very matter-of-fact. Obviously, he was very used to arranging everything. Although he was no longer afraid, Shui Wei, whose brain was flustered by these things and could not think for the time being, did not think much and nodded and agreed.
"Okay, let's find out what she wants to do first."
After she was comforted, although she was still a little frightened, her spirit gradually improved. "Captain Lin, you didn't eat, are you hungry?"
"It's okay, I'll eat after get off work."
Lin Shiheng turned around, took a piece of paper from his desk, came back, took the paper himself, put it on Shui Wei's forehead, and gently wiped the cold sweat for her.
Shui Wei blushed and looked at the man in front of her. He had a handsome face. Although there was no expression on his face, his beautiful eyes were staring at her forehead seriously.
The strength of wiping was also gentle and just right.
Although Captain Lin looked difficult to approach, he must be a very gentle person in his heart.
Shui Wei blushed and stared at her boyfriend. The shock just now was completely replaced by the rising pink bubbles.
When this case is solved, maybe we can try to date after get off work.
Eat delicious food, visit beautiful scenery, watch movies and hold hands.
Lin Shiheng took his hand back, "Your face is red, are you thinking about me?"
Shui Wei coughed lightly and nodded with a red face.
The corner of the man's mouth in front of her slightly raised a tiny arc, and his always cold tone also had a little more fluctuation.
"Me too, I'm thinking about you."
Ah, this damn temptation.
Shui Wei covered her hot cheeks that seemed to be about to explode. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have wanted to pull her boyfriend to kiss her immediately.
She still had awe of Lin Shiheng and respect for her boss, but instead of kissing her lips, would it be okay to kiss her cheeks?
Shui Wei began to plan in her mind where to go for a date after work.
As for the female ghost?
Thinking carefully, compared with the dismemberment case materials she had seen before, she was not that scary except that she was a little swollen and swollen.
