The female intern gently walked into the hospital room.
"Wei Jun, is that you?" Xiao Qing called out. "My left shoulder is really itchy; can you help me check if there's a rash?"
The girl unbuttoned her hospital gown, revealing only her underwear and exposing her smooth, fair shoulder.
Xin Zi slowly approached her bedside.
"Your hearing is really good. They say when you lose your sight, your hearing becomes sharper; I guess that's true."
After a moment of silence, the girl smiled and said, "Why do you need others to say it? Didn't you go blind for a while?"
"Indeed, when you lose your sight, you still want to discern the world around you, so your ears become ten times more sensitive."
Xin Zi sat at her bedside, gazing at Xiao Qing's smiling face. "Back then, I could never miss the sound of my mom and dad's footsteps. Besides, there's a significant difference between how men and women walk." The girl's smile gradually faded.
"What's wrong? Do you think it's impossible for my boyfriend to see my body?"
"You've gone too far. Excess is as bad as deficiency."
The girl playfully stuck out her tongue. "Sorry, I just wanted to tease you."
"In this way?"
Sensing that the other person didn't appreciate such jokes, she changed the subject. "Has that person who blinded me been caught?"
"No, he's a police officer. You know, police officers don't easily suspect their colleagues. But they are investigating his alibi."
"How's the investigation going?"
"He said he really went out that day—he went to the bookstore and read for a long time. But it was the weekend, and the bookstore was too crowded for the staff to remember every person who came in, especially since he only browsed and didn’t buy anything."
"Ha," Xiao Qing laughed softly, "Do you believe him?"
"His alibi is just a supporting detail. If you want to prove that he is indeed the one who harmed you, Xiao Qing, you need to tell us why. Why would he choose you?"
The girl fell silent.
"Do you know him, this man named Roth?"
"What do you think? A temporary worker like me, a little nobody, would I know a police officer?"
"I only know that police officers are the ones who meet all kinds of people. You never know where you might have crossed paths."
"No, I don’t know him," the girl said firmly. "Someone like me is most afraid of getting into trouble, so I would never provoke the police."
"Perhaps at that time you didn’t know his name or that he was a police officer? This incident happened in your area, and he just happened to be transferred there recently. Is it possible that he was afraid of running into you and being recognized? Maybe you've seen him do something bad."
"I don’t know…"
"If there really is no connection between you two, even if the police can’t verify his alibi, they can’t just convict him based on your accusation alone."
Xiao Qing remained silent for a moment, her gaze vacant as she stared ahead.
"If we arrange for you to meet him, can you recall anything from his voice?"
Xiao Qing still did not respond, but Xin Zi sensed that this suggestion had been tacitly accepted. She looked at her with compassion and sighed softly, "I'll have Wei Jun come in to see you."
The meeting, which hardly qualified as a confrontation, was arranged at the police station.
Xin Zi, as the proposer, accompanied them.
Also present was Wei Jun, who couldn't understand why Xin Zi was so invested in this case. Xin Zi retorted, "What about you? Don't you care about Xiao Qing?"
"I do care about her, but within my responsibilities. I don't like getting involved in cases all the time."
"I'm interested in this case."
"Why?"
"I enjoy watching the drama unfold."
Wei Jun was left speechless.
Accompanying Roth was his wife, Chen Moxin. Xin Zi glanced over and said to Yan Qin, "Roth has a beautiful wife."
"Yeah."
"He should be younger than you. Why are you still single?"
The Criminal Police Captain was also at a loss for words. "That's none of your business."
