Section 1 In the hospital office, a young male doctor is sitting in a chair and resting. There was a photo frame on the desk in front of him. In the photo, a middle-aged couple and a boy were smiling happily. The doctor stared at the photo in a daze, and unconsciously, a trace of moisture appeared in his eyes. True to his childhood wish, he became an excellent doctor, just like his parents. In the hospital, he was used to seeing life and death, and his heart gradually became indifferent. He knows that he is just a doctor and cannot save everyone. After experiencing a lot, he thought he could face life and death calmly, whether it was himself or others - until he saw her again, facing her beautiful but pale face. She was in a car accident, suffered multiple external injuries, and suffered severe internal bleeding. When he saw her, she was lying on the operating table in the emergency room. Everyone tried their best, but there was nothing they could do. Life was constantly draining from her body along with the scarlet blood. He still refused to give up and tried in vain to keep her. "Don't be stupid" she said weakly. She was in shock and now she seemed very conscious. "I know, I have to go!" "Don't think about it, it will be fine" He held her coldly He held his hand and tried to comfort her, but the panic in his voice could not be concealed, "I won't let anything happen to you" "You are so stupid you know, you have never been bad at lying." She smiled Then he said, staring into his eyes, "You said you don't care about me, but I know you just don't dare to admit that you love me, right" He choked and put her hands on his face, " I love you, I have always loved you" "I love you too" Her voice gradually became fainter, "Promise me to live happily with my love" That day, he held his hand Her hand refused to let go for a long time, but it was a pity that the woman with the beautiful smile could no longer feel his tenderness. Chris and Claire met Joanna outside the church in the center of the town. The poor mother was about to collapse. Her daughter was her only relative and sustenance. No matter how strong she appeared, she would feel overwhelmed by such an accident. fear. "Don't worry, don't worry." Chris comforted her, "Tell me what happened." Joanna tried to calm herself down and described the details of the matter to Chris. She took Shirley to church. At this time She heard the siren of her car outside the door, so she left her daughter in the church and went out to check her car. When she returned to the church, she found that Shirley was missing. "I asked the priest and other people in the church, but they said he didn't notice my daughter." Joanna said anxiously. "Did you call the police?" Chris said, "We have to notify the police." Joanna's face showed a trace of uneasiness, but after hesitating for a moment, she still said: "The police station is not far from here, let's go now." Chris noticed Joanna's reaction, but didn't think much about it. He asked Claire to continue looking nearby. He and Joanna drove to the police station a block away. In front of the police station, Joanna hesitated and seemed a little nervous. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Chris said next to him. He hesitated, took Joanna's hand, and pushed open the door of the police station. Soon, Chris understood why Joanna didn't want to come here. There were not many people in the police station. It was different from the busy police stations in big cities. Except for a few policemen sitting lazily behind their desks, there were almost no people here. There were only a few rude-looking guys who even whistled when they saw Joanna. Chris frowned. He felt Joanna shaking a little beside him. He couldn't help but tighten his hands and stand closer to her. "We're here to report the crime." Chris walked straight to the service desk, "The child is missing." The male policeman behind the desk glanced at the two of them rudely, and then said casually: "Please show your ID and fill in this form as required. A few forms" With a "pop", Chris slapped his police card on the desk. He suppressed the idea of ??beating this man up and said coldly: "I want to report the crime to that man. The policeman was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chris's police officer ID, and then at his angry face. His attitude improved a lot. Chris is a member of the U.S. SWAT team, and his level and force level are higher than these. The local police officer is high. The most important thing is that it is obvious that his temper is not very good at this time. After reporting the crime, the police learned about the situation from Joanna and promised to deal with the matter as soon as possible, but this did not reduce Joanna's worries too much. After coming out of the police station, Chris and the two found Claire. The three of them searched aimlessly in the city.As time went by, Joanna became more and more uneasy. This town was not particularly big, and there had been no news from Shirley for such a long time. Joanna was worried that her daughter might be in danger. The three people spent half a day worrying, until in the afternoon, they received a call from the hospital: Shirley was found and is now in the hospital. Joanna felt like she was in deep fear, but Chris tried his best to comfort her, telling her that Shirley would be fine and that it was just a routine check-up in the hospital, even though he didn't know for sure. "Where is my daughter? Where is my daughter?" In the hospital, Joanna asked the doctor nervously, "Is she okay?" The doctor looked at Joanna, then at Chris and his sister, and shook his head slightly, " She is not in good condition and is now in the ICU ward. "Joanna covered her mouth in disbelief and stayed where she was. Chris frowned tightly and said, "Take us there." The three of them came to the intensive care area and came to the glass window of a sterile room, signaling that Shirley was inside. "Oh, God, no!" Joanna shouted in pain, then her body softened and collapsed. Chris quickly supported her and let her lean in his arms. "What on earth did I dowhat did I do wrong to punish me like this!" Joanna collapsed. She lay in Chris's arms and cried in pain. Chris wanted to say something, but felt that his chest was blocked. It was so bad that I could only pat her back comfortingly. "Oh God." Claire was stunned by what she saw and didn't know what to say. In the sterile room, Shirley lay there quietly. From her appearance, she could not recognize the cute girl like a doll at all - she was wrapped in gauze, and the exposed skin was burnt black, and some parts were faintly The dark red wound was exposed and looked so ferocious. It was obvious that it was caused by severe burns. Claire helped the grief-stricken Joanna sit aside, while Chris pulled the doctor to the corner of the corridor and asked in a low voice: "What happened, doctor?" The male doctor hesitated, "Are you the one? "A relative of the girl?" "Yes." Chris said directly. The male doctor said solemnly: "Her condition is very bad. She has severe burns all over her body, and even fourth-degree burns in some parts. It is simply horrible. To be honest, it is a cruel miracle that this little girl can survive, and" He hesitated very much. After a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "During the examination, we found that the girl was probably sexually assaulted." Chris was stunned. He thought he heard wrongly. The doctor shook his head, "You heard right, the police are here." She was found in an abandoned warehouse. She was probably sexually abused, and then" The doctor did not continue, but Chris understood what he meant. It was obvious that the crazy criminal took Shirley hostage to that warehouse and tortured her. He poisoned her and then tried to brutally burn her to death. Although Shirley survived by chance, he understood that both she and her mother would live in endless pain from now on. "This bastard!" Chris said bitterly. He couldn't wait to find the criminal now, and then use the most cruel method to kill him and make him pay for the crime he committed. "My name is Chris, Chris Rayfield." Chris said to the doctor, "Thank you for telling me this. This is my phone number. If you have any news, please inform me as soon as possible." The doctor nodded, "My name is Calvin is the chief doctor here." He sighed, "I know this mother and daughter, and I sympathize with them. You must know that they are not living well here, and something like this happened. Not many people are willing to help them." Chris heard something else in Dr. Calvin's words. He tentatively asked, "Are you saying there is something hidden here?" The doctor thought for a moment and said, "You know, In a small town like this, there are always some people who like to bully others." He glanced at Chris and then said, "The police chief of the town, Swann, is very powerful in this town. That rude guy once beat him up. Mrs. Royce's idea was rejected, so after that he often caused trouble for the mother and daughter. "You mean that Shirley's matter was related to him?" Chris whispered. "No, no, no." The doctor shook his head, "I have no evidence to say so, but I can imagine that the police station will definitely not be of much help in this case." After learning about the situation from the doctor, Chris felt very sad. Heavy, on the one hand he felt angry, on the other hand he was sad for what happened to Joanna and her daughter. He calmed down and returned to the door of the intensive care unit. Claire was still comforting Joanna. The young mother looked very bad, as if the great pain and sorrow had taken away her soul. Chris told her about Shirley's injury, but kept it secret.?She was sexually assaulted. Looking at the grief-stricken Joanna, Chris felt that some emotions in his heart were touched. He was determined to find the murderer who hurt Shirley and make him pay the price Section 2 He took a long leave, Went to France. Not long ago, she just returned to him from there, but before she had time to celebrate the beautiful reunion, she left him forever. He often wandered by the Seine River. In the photos she sent him, the place that appeared most often was the Seine River. This is a big river, but it is very gentle and calm, just like her in the impression. She said in the letter that she likes this river, likes to walk along the river, and likes to watch the light of the setting sun shining on the quietly flowing river. The tranquility and light happiness are just like when she is with him. Feel. Now, he is here, and he is lingering in the place where she once lingered, quietly looking for her traces. He stood by the river, watching the dim sunlight gradually dissipate on the river, imagining her standing next to him. The vacation ended soon and he returned to the country. However, perhaps it was a joke of fate. When he stepped on the plane, he did not expect that he would not be able to return to the ground safely again - he suffered a plane crash. In the cabin, the piercing alarm sound and the passengers screaming in fear were heard, but his heart gradually calmed down. He even bothered to look at the scenery outside the plane window - the sun shone from a weird angle, and there was a blue sky below, and he couldn't tell whether it was the sky or the ocean. He smiled helplessly, as if he was laughing at himself, but also as if he was relieved. "Are you going to die? I feel a little unwilling to think about it." He thought, "It would be great if you could give me another chance." It was already evening, and the three of them had not been together since the morning. After resting, Claire was worried that Joanna's body would collapse, but Joanna refused to leave the hospital. She wanted to stay with her daughter all the time. Chris had no choice but to order food at an outside restaurant and open a family accompanying room through Dr. Calvin so that the three of them could stay in the hospital at night and get the latest news at any time. After dinner, Chris left Claire to accompany Joanna while he drove to the church. Since the police station was unreliable, he had to do it himself. He visited nearby residents and shops door to door, trying to find clues, but to no avail. "Excuse me, are you in the store around ten o'clock in the morning?" Chris asked the store owner. This is a grocery store, diagonally opposite the church. From the door of the store, you can see the main entrance of the church and the parking lot on the other side. . "Are you a policeman?" said the boss, a tall and thin middle-aged man, impatiently. "I am indeed a police officer." Chris waved his police officer ID card in front of his eyes and said seriously, "I am here to investigate a vicious injury incident, so I hope you will cooperate with me." The store owner was frightened by Chris He paused. Apparently he didn't know that although Chris was a police officer, he had no authority to enforce the law here. He hesitated and said, "I told you, I didn't see anything." Chris noticed his uneasiness and realized Realizing that he probably knew something, he narrowed his eyes at the store owner and said in a threatening tone, "I don't think you're telling the truth, man, and that could get you in trouble." He pointed to a lounge chair by the door, " Don¡¯t you think that recliner is too big for the room? I guess you are used to lying on it and basking in the sun during the day. " "Oh, no, I don¡¯t know anything "The boss was a little panicked, but still refused to let go. Chris was about to say something else when the door suddenly opened with a bang, and a policeman walked in. He looked fat, with a thick beard on his round face, and looked like a wild boar walking upright. Seeing Chris, he was stunned for a moment, and then walked over. Seeing the police coming in, the grocery store owner looked even more nervous, "Hello, Chief Swan." He looked at Chris, "Why are you here?" "Well, I'll take care of your business. Let's investigate the case." The police chief said gruffly, "Who is this person, your friend?" "Oh, no, no." The grocery store owner hurriedly explained, "He is also a police officer. "I'm investigating the case." "Oh." He looked at Chris with his small eyes and said rudely: "I remember, you are the guy who had an affair with Widow Royce. I remember you are not from this area. "Police." "Then you'd better remember," Chris suppressed the urge to slap this stupid face and said rudely: "As members of the special elite force under the federal security department, we have the right to intervene in occasional vicious incidents. As for the more specific aspects of the investigation of the incident, you are not qualified to know.¡± Ten minutes later, Chris came from the newspaper.When he came out of the store, he watched angrily as Sheriff Swan drove away in a police car. Ever since he saw the Sheriff, the grocery store owner insisted that he knew nothing, which left Chris with nothing to do with him. He was now sure that the grocery store owner must know something, and that the police sergeant would not only not help, but might also put pressure on Shirley's case. Chris hesitated and decided to go back to the hospital. It was already very late now. He felt that he should stay with Joanna. Claire was very smart, but after all, she was just a girl who had just entered college. There were some things that Chris still needed. Do it. He walked towards his car and at the corner he saw a man standing by his car. He frowned and walked over, while being cautious. When he walked up to him, he was surprised to find that it was a woman. She is a middle-aged woman, dressed strangely, wearing a thick long tweed coat, her long light brown hair is curled, and she wears several fancy necklaces around her neck. She looked at Chris as if she had been waiting for him. "Are you a relative of that girl?" the woman asked, her voice a little hoarse. "Excuse me, who are you?" Chris was stunned and immediately responded, "Do you have anything to tell me?" The woman paused, with a look of horror on her face, "I wonder if you can take that girl out of here? " Chris was stunned for a moment, and then anger welled up in his heart. He said coldly: "What do you mean by this?" The woman seemed even more frightened. She said tremblingly: "That girl will bring disaster. She will bring disaster, if" "Shut up!" Chris' anger broke out, and he said viciously: "I've had enough of you bastards, that innocent girl suffered such crimes and Unfortunately, you can still say such things." He stared at the woman, "Now, get out of here, or I will kill you with one shot." "No, no, no, that's not what I meant" The woman. Taking a few steps back, "I have no ill intentions towards that girl. I am a psychic, and I can feel that that girl is also spiritual." "Huh?" Chris was confused. He looked at the woman in front of him and thought. Asked whether she had mental problems, "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you said." "I am a psychic, that is, a person with certain supernatural abilities." The woman tightened her clothes, "That girl has a very strong "That's why she's not dead after being injured like that." Chris hummed, thinking that this woman was mentally ill. "No, this is the most terrifying thing - it will attract the devil!" The woman's eyes widened in horror, and she said hoarsely, "The devil will follow the pain and resentment in her heart, and then bring disaster to In this world, I can feel that evil forces are gathering" "Crazy." Chris muttered helplessly. He ignored the woman's crazy words, got into the car, and drove away. He was going back to the hospital to be with Claire, who needed care and support after such a misfortune. Parking the car in the parking lot, Chris got out of the car. There was no one else in the parking lot, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Inexplicably, Chris felt a little uneasy. He couldn't help but glance around, but found nothing suspicious. He frowned, turned and walked towards the hospital door. Chris could not see that on the roof of the hospital, a bird was parked there quietly, dragging its long tassel-like tail, its black feathers reflecting the pale moonlight, emitting a cold light
