Boundary Linger

Jiang Xu, a lonely psychology student, accidentally fell into the dream world after suffering from insomnia. When he woke up, he was lying on a folding bed in Nanjing Gulou Branch and met Qin Yuan, the taciturn police captain. He soon discovered that this world was too real to be a dream - injuries would leave scars, and the pain really hurt, and here he experienced a feeling that he had never experienced in reality: being listened to carefully and needed by others. Jiang Xu joined Qin Yuan's task force, working side by side with forensic doctor Lu Yao, trace examiner Lin Wei, technical police officer Fang Yi, young police officer Zhao Mingliang and others. They successively solved five interlocking cases - the case of the disappearance of the secret room, the case of the serial severed fingers, the case of the headless female corpse, the case of mirror replacement, and the case of Qin Yuan's own death in the line of duty. Behind every case there is a mysterious behind-the-scenes driving force X. He never does it himself, but only instigates those who are already standing on the edge of the cliff online. During the investigation, Fang Yi died at the entrance of the observation station, leaving his last words before his death: "The tea has gone cold." Jiang Xu gradually discovered that Qin Yuan had a kind of tranquility that did not belong to a living person - he had died in the line of duty to protect the hostages six years ago, and what was left in this world was his unfinished obsession. The other members of the task force are also projections of Qin Yuan's obsession. When the final truth was revealed and Qin Yuan's obsession was completed, the world began to collapse piece by piece. On the rooftop, Qin Yuan told the collapsed Jiang Xu the theme of the book: "Companyship is the longest confession of love, and leaving is to let you live the way we used to live without me." After Jiang Xu returned to reality, he overturned the case for Qin Yuan and received the self-statement written by Fang Yi when he was dying. He found that the previously completely blurry photo had become clear - it was a scene of him and Qin Yuan eating beef noodles at Lao Zhang Noodle House. One morning, he was by the Qinhuai River and saw a young man wearing a dark gray coat standing under the plane tree at the entrance of the alley, his side face illuminated by the streetlight. He didn't chase him, he just stood there and watched the man turn around and walk into the morning mist, and then held the broken dial in his hand. This article is a criminal investigation group portrait article. The two male protagonists are comrades who handle cases side by side and rely on each other for life and death. All the strong emotions come from the guilt, fear and comradeship between colleagues. There is no love line, so please do not overdo it. We focus on cases and group portraits of the task force. Purpose: Real healing is not to make wounds disappear, but to give a person an anchor in his heart. The most complete farewell is to let the farewell itself become the courage for the other person to continue living. As long as it has been warm and existed, it will never be forgotten.
