My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 51 Cognitive Change

When Li Jiuhe arrived at the hospital, Jiang Qing had already left the operating room and was admitted to the ICU.

Jiang Qing's husband and son stayed at the hospital the whole time.

Li Jiuhe stayed at the hospital until dark, and he even went outside to buy two boxed meals for the father and son.

Neither the father nor the son had an appetite. Jiang Qing's husband didn't even touch his chopsticks, while Jiang Qing's eleven-year-old son only managed a few bites before giving up.

Li Jiuhe was not a conspiracy theorist, but after figuring out Jiang Qing's unexpected ordeal, he couldn't help but wonder if it had anything to do with him.

Jiang Qing arranged to meet him after get off work in the morning, and then went to work alone.

I had already arrived at the company building when I was hit head-on by an electric motorcycle that suddenly went out of control.

It is said that the electric motorcycle was going very fast and crashed solidly into Jiang Qing, who had just gotten off the motorcycle. The driver did not dodge at all, or rather, did not have time to avoid it.

Jiang Qing was hit so hard that her body spun twice in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, where she immediately lost consciousness.

The doctor told Jiang Qing's husband that her life had been saved, but it was uncertain when Jiang Qing would wake up.

Because she not only broke four ribs, but her skull also hit the edge of the flower bed, causing a slight crack, which could potentially damage her brain.

Li Jiuhe learned that the electric motorcycle that hit Jiang Qing did not stop at all. Instead, the rear of the motorcycle swayed violently twice before it stabilized, and then the driver sped away.

Although there were surveillance cameras nearby, the electric motorcycle had no license plate, and the driver was wearing a windproof helmet, so his face could not be seen.

After comforting Jiang Qing's husband and son, Li Jiuhe went to the hospital.

It was almost midnight, and Li Jiuhe hadn't gone far, but had been lingering near the hospital.

According to conspiracy theories, if the motorcyclist had intentionally tried to kill Jiang Qing, now that he knows she's not dead, he might continue his attack at the hospital.

Although the hospital is full of surveillance cameras and there are many people, and Jiang Qing's relatives will be waiting there all night.

But if the guy on the motorcycle is the same man who attacked Li Jiuhe with the soft sword last time, then as a Sequencer, it would be easy for him to get close to the unconscious Jiang Qing.

So Li Jiuhe didn't leave the vicinity of the hospital all night.

After daybreak, he returned to the ICU ward and saw Jiang Qing's husband walking out of the ward. He said that Jiang Qing had woken up and the doctor said she was recovering well.

Li Jiuhe was delighted and went outside the hospital to buy a lot of supplements before asking if he could say a few words to Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing's husband was quite enthusiastic and turned to ask the doctor for advice, but was immediately stopped by the attending physician without any mercy.

Having no other option, Li Jiuhe called Dai Na, a logistics staff member in the second group, and asked her to put in a good word for them through the police station.

It must be said that the Bureau of Investigation has a great deal of power and is also very efficient.

Three minutes later, a middle-aged female nurse came out of the ICU, stood in the corridor, and asked, "Excuse me, who is Officer Li?"

Li Jiuhe was taken aback. He looked around to make sure no one answered before stepping forward and tentatively saying, "It's me."

"plz follow me."

Following the nurse into the ICU ward, Li Jiuhe instinctively felt that the nurse must have mistaken him for a police officer investigating Jiang Qing's traffic accident case.

Jiang Qing's husband sat on the edge of the bed, somewhat surprised, wondering how Li Jiuhe had obtained the hospital's permission to come in.

As Li Jiuhe approached, she took the opportunity to ask him, "Is Sister Jiang conscious now?"

Jiang Qing's husband nodded: "She's alright. I just talked to her for a while, and she remembers everything. She's just a bit weak."

"I'll only say a few words to her; I won't disturb her rest."

Li Jiuhe nodded and glanced at Jiang Qing lying on the hospital bed. In just one day, she had lost a lot of weight and her complexion was sallow.

Upon seeing Li Jiuhe arrive, Jiang Qing looked surprised, her lips moved but no sound came out.

Li Jiuhe moved a little closer and placed the thousand yuan he had prepared in advance next to Jiang Qing's pillow. At the same time, he said softly, "Sister Jiang, you should rest well. There's no rush about the meeting I arranged with you."

"What are we meeting up for?" Jiang Qing asked in a hoarse voice.

Li Jiuhe was taken aback: "It's about my daughter..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Qing interrupted him: "Your daughter? Xiao Li, so you... already have a daughter!"

Li Jiuhe's expression changed slightly: "Sister Jiang, we met at the company entrance yesterday. Didn't you tell me you still remembered I have a daughter?"

Jiang Qing looked puzzled: "Yes, I remember...we've met, but you didn't say...you have a daughter."

"Didn't I say that?" A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Li Jiuhe's heart.

After talking with Jiang Qing for a while, he quickly became certain that Jiang Qing had no recollection of having a daughter.

Strangely, she remembered everything else from the past, including things that Jiang Qing's husband could confirm.

However, if the brain suffers amnesia due to severe trauma, it's impossible that only this one thing is forgotten.

Because Jiang Qing's condition was not suitable for talking too much, Li Jiuhe quickly came out of the ward.

He frowned deeply, and although he hadn't slept all night, he wasn't sleepy at all.

He then went to the investigation bureau instead of going home to catch up on sleep.

While sitting in the taxi, Li Jiuhe noticed that the illusory images of the February 7th Morning Bell and the two stone figures that had been hovering not far above his head had disappeared sometime ago.

He looked around, but the bell wasn't there in any other direction. However, he still maintained his connection with the Morning Bell.

It's a very strange feeling, indicating that even though I can't see the morning bell of the second day of the seventh month, this sequence item is still following me.

When Dai Na, the young woman in charge of logistics, arrived at the office of the second group, she thought that Li Jiuhe had just been working on a case at the hospital. However, because the investigators' work was very special and involved a lot of fieldwork, they did not need to clock in at the office on time every day.

Li Jiuhe discovered that Xu Wei and Chen Zhenghai were not in the office; only another team member, Lu Guanzheng, was sitting at his workstation writing a report.

"Brother Lu, where's the team leader?"

Lu Guan pointed outside the door: "He and Xu Wei went to the temporary detention room for the trackers. They're having the trackers investigate a case from our second team."

Upon hearing the words "The Tracker," Li Jiuhe's eyes lit up slightly.

He knew that perhaps only the pursuers could find the answer to the mystery of whether his daughter existed.

They immediately prepared to go out and check out the temporary shelter.

When they arrived at the office door, Xu Wei suddenly strode into the office, and the two almost bumped into each other.

Li Jiuhe asked in surprise, "Has the tracker found a lead?"

Xu Wei nodded, then realized, "Each team has unsolved cases on their hands, so everyone was pressing the tracker hard just now, and he's exhausted. I'll go with you to ask about your daughter's matter after he recovers his abilities."

"Okay." Li Jiuhe nodded. "I suddenly had a guess just now, and maybe we can ask the trackers about it later."

"What guess?" Xu Wei asked curiously.

"You and the team leader once said that some Sequencers have the ability to change a person's perception. For example, I don't have a daughter, but after my perception is changed, I believe I've always had a daughter," Li Jiuhe said. "But could it be the other way around? I actually do have a daughter, but the perceptions of the rest of you have been changed, and you believe I don't have one?"
