Lu Xiaozhi stood at the door of the ward, looked at Su Yutan and Qiao w.a.n.gchuan for some time before knocking on the open door and entering the ward.
“Superheroine, is it fun to act as a bait?” Lu Xiaozhi teased Su Yutan with a little helplessness and a pity in his smile.
“It"s not fun at all.” Su Yutan smiled and said with some self-deprecating humour, “I was almost scared to death.”
“Would you be so stubborn next time?” Lu Xiaozhi looked down at her.
Su Yutan frowned, and smiled anxiously, “I will look at the situation next time.” She sighed, “If it is not necessary, who wants to be a superhero?”
Lu Xiaozhi gave her a glaring look and said nothing.
He quickly checked her and said, “The neurotransmitter levels and brain waves have basically returned to normal. After a few more hours of observation, you can be discharged without any problems.” Lu Xiaozhi then left after the check up to do his rounds.
After Lu Xiaozhi went out, Su Yutan saw that sunlight penetrated through the gap in the curtains and asked Qiao w.a.n.gchuan, “What time is it?”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan said, “It"s ten in the morning. Would you like me to open the curtains?”
Su Yutan nodded, and hummed softly.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan went to open the curtains, so the late autumn sun flooded the ward, and the white-based room was plated with a layer of golden light.
“The weather is really good today!” Su Yutan couldn"t help but sigh.
“Do you want to go out for a walk?” Qiao w.a.n.gchuan asked.
Su Yutan shook her head, jumped off the bed, walked to the window, and let the sun shine on her face, giving herself a warm and bright feeling.
After a while in the sun, she turned her head and asked Qiao w.a.n.gchuan, “Do you know where my smart.w.a.tch is?”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan pulled out a paper bag from the bedside table and handed it to her.
“When the gangster kidnapped you, they threw these things into the trash can in the bathroom. I have cleaned your smart.w.a.tch and you can use it now. But the smart gla.s.ses and headphones have been damaged, and the police took it as evidence. I bought you a new one.”
“The watch is just fine.” Su Yutan took the watch out of the paper bag and put it on her wrist.
Suddenly, she froze, because when wearing the watch, she found that the tungsten gold ring on her right index finger was missing.
She quickly rummaged in the paper bag and found no ring.
“What are you looking for?” Qiao w.a.n.gchuan asked her.
“A tungsten gold ring with words engraved on the inside. Did you see it?”
“No.” Qiao w.a.n.gchuan shook his head. “Is that ring important?”
Su Yutan bowed her head heavily, lamenting.
Then she looked up and said helplessly, “It doesn"t matter how important…”
That was her ring of commandments.
It was important because it was a symbol of self-restraint. Self-restraint was the most important means for patients with latent trauma to control their condition.
It didn"t matter because the commandments were in the mind. It"s not that without the ring, she couldn"t restrain herself.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan watched her look and concluded, “You want the ring.”
Su Yutan nodded slightly, “I can"t bear it. But if I lose it, then there"s no way…”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan recalled, “When I saw you in the warehouse, there was no ring on your fingers. I"m sure of that.”
“When I went to the restaurant for dinner, I wore a ring.” Su Yutan said, “So, it must have been lost when I was abducted. Maybe it was taken away or it may have slipped off and fell in any corner. “
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan said, “I will ask the police officers who handled the case to see if they had found it. They searched the scene for evidence last night.”
He called Yue Yueming and got a reply quickly.
“The evidence does not have the ring you said or the pendant I gave you.” He told Su Yutan.
Su Yutan was a little disappointed and had to accept the fact that the ring had been lost, and her heart became empty.
“Forget it! I lost it!” Her voice was lethargic.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan shook his head, “Don"t give up. The ring and pendant are lost together. If these two things are still in the same place, there is still hope for finding them.”
He told the smart core of his watch, “Taurus, send the audio back from the pendant, edit it, and we will listen.”
After hearing what he said, Su Yutan"s eyes brightened.
He said, “The gang must"ve hid it in the bathroom. They had a quantum jammer device that would freeze any gadgets within the range of interference. So all smart devices based on the quantum entanglement principle will fail to operate."
“After you entered the interference range; the pendant, your watch earphones, etc, failed. I had a backup plan, so I did not care much about the pendant.”
“So, I don"t know if the quantum jammer turned off any sound from it after the police switched it off.”
In less than a minute, Qiao w.a.n.gchuan"s watch intellectual core, Taurus, said, “The audio has been processed, please wear headphones for playback effect.”
Su Yutan looked at his watch silently, but felt normal.
Due to the existence of smart headphones, most smart watch amplifiers had only one channel, with low volume. The playback effect was bad, and it was difficult to hear the details.
Fortunately, when she opened the bag just now, she found the gla.s.ses and earphones bought by Qiao w.a.n.gchuan were civilian brands she had used before, so she could afford it.
She thanked Qiao w.a.n.gchuan for his thoughtfulness and asked him, “How much are these two gadgets?”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan"s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, then quoted a price seriously. She asked Mia to give him the money. He accepted it with a smile.
Su Yutan breathed a sigh of relief, took out two boxes in the paper bag, unpacked it, disinfected her hands with the disinfection cotton, and took out the gla.s.ses and headphones soaked in the potion.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan pa.s.sed the audio device to her. She listened with Qiao w.a.n.gchuan.
In that audio, after the silence, there was the dialogue of the police when they searched the scene.
Taurus explained, “When disturbed by the jammer, the pendant did not record any sound. Later, the police turned off the jammer and the pendant recorded the sounds it perceived.”
Su Yutan said with a little surprise, “When the police searched the evidence, the pendant was still in the bathroom and was not taken elsewhere.”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan nodded, “But the sound quality is weak and ethereal, and there is a dull response, like recording over an obstacle.”
Slowly, the police voice faded away.
