A soft and glutinous cat meow made Qiu Lan's tense body relax instantly, and warm tears broke through the barrier one by one and silently slid across her fair cheeks.

Half an hour later, two people and a cat and dog appeared at the pet hospital.

The frightened biscuit curled up tightly in Qiu Lan's arms, her eyes full of panic.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the final examination results of the veterinarian, and a suspenseful heart finally settled steadily.

The worried Qiu Lan let out a long sigh of relief, and the frowning brow on her forehead stretched slightly.

"Doctor Qiu, since it's nothing serious, I'll send you back. Xu Chengyan pursed his thin lips and spoke in a low voice.

"No need, Officer Xu, it's too troublesome for you today, you better go back and rest early, the case will take time to deal with." Qiu Lan raised her red lips slightly, and rejected him gently.

"I'd better send you guys, you're scared a lot today, and it's not good if there's anything else along the way. Xu Chengyan gently picked up the cat bag containing biscuits on the table, his eyebrows moved slightly, "Let's go." ”

Qiu Lan was embarrassed to refuse again, so she could only lead the golden retriever out of the pet hospital.

They stopped a taxi on the side of the road and headed straight for Clear Water Bay.

Outside the gate of the community, Qiu Lan got out of the car with the two little guys, and wanted to say goodbye to Xu Chengyan, but who knew that he also got out of the car.

"Officer Xu, aren't you going to take the car?" Qiu Lan pursed her red lips, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"I'll leave later, this little guy is quite heavy, your foot was injured again just now, I want to send you up. ”

Full of concern spread from Xu Chengyan's eyes without reservation, but after Qiu Lan heard his words, her eyebrows immediately moved uneasily, and her expression was a little nervous.

Can't go upstairs!

Although Li Shanghan didn't come back during this time, the upstairs room didn't need to be touched, and the room was still full of his things.

If Xu Chengyan went up and saw these things, how would she explain it?

I can't think about the same embarrassment as before.

No, absolutely not!

"No need, Officer Xu. Qiu Lan lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly, "You helped me a lot today, I'll bring them up myself, so let's find a time, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

"Since you're going to invite me to dinner, aren't I going to help you today?" Xu Chengyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"No, Officer Xu, I really don't need it today. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips lightly, her eyes flashed left and right, "It's not very convenient at home now, next time, next time I will come to the house to sit down." ”

Suddenly, the smile on Xu Chengyan's face froze, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times in embarrassment, he nodded slightly, and smiled to hide the loss in his heart, "Okay, then next time." ”

He handed the cat bag in his hand to Qiu Lan, his eyes were lowered, his mouth moved slightly, and he stopped talking.

In fact, he had something to say to her in his heart, but he was thinking about it all the way, and he didn't know how to speak.

That day in Reed Lake, he was the first to rush on the boat to see Qiu Lan, and she also fell directly into his arms, and said something in her mouth.

However, the situation was complicated at that time, he didn't react to anything at all, and he didn't care, and after returning home, in a half-dream, he remembered her words again.

"You, you're finally here, I, I thought, I thought, I'm going to die. ”

This simple sentence stirred in Xu Chengyan's heart all night, and he was thinking about it over and over again.

He didn't know if Qiu Lan already had a place for him in his heart now, but thinking about that sentence, he gradually affirmed this idea in his heart.

Maybe his efforts during this time were seen by her?

It's possible to fall in love over time, isn't it?

Xu Chengyan took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Doctor Qiu." ”

"Huh?" Qiu Lan raised her eyebrows, a trace of doubt crossed her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"That. Xu Chengyan paused, and a strange emotion flashed in his eyes staring at Qiu Lan.

I don't know what's going on, but at this moment, I can't spit out a word if I stop in my throat.

What is he going to say to Qiu Lan?

Wouldn't that be too abrupt?

"Officer Xu?" Qiu Lan frowned and reminded softly, "What are you going to say?"

"No, no. Xu Chengyan swallowed all the words in his heart and shook his head slightly, "I just want you to be careful when you go back, and your feet, it's best to rub some trauma medicine, so as not to get serious." ”

"Okay, I see, thank you, Officer Xu, then I'll go upstairs first. Qiu Lan nodded, the expression on her face was a little unnatural.

"Okay, be careful. Xu Chengyan reluctantly agreed, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

Why is it that when it comes to a pinch, he can't speak?

Looking at the back of Qiu Lan leaving, Xu Chengyan drooped his head, sighed heavily, and waved his hand weakly, looking lost.

In the Clear Water Bay apartment, Qiu Lan took the two little ones back to the place they were most familiar with, and the cookies kept circling in the living room, excited, but the overly frightened kitten just found a relatively safe corner and curled up.

Qiu Lan, who was standing at the door, looked at the scene in the house, where everything was set up the same as before she left.

It seems that Li Shanghan has not come back yet.

Inadvertently, Qiu Lan's heart couldn't help but think about that man.

A cool breeze quietly lifted the curtains and blew on her face, she shrugged her shoulders, gently pursed her red lips and walked to the biscuit, and fed her a nutritional paste as the doctor had instructed.

After that, she warmed up the porridge she had boiled during the day and ate some of it.

The exhaustion left her with no strength to do anything else.

Suddenly, a steady breath came from the bedroom.

In the next two days, Li Shanghan still did not return to the apartment, nor did he send a text message or phone call to Qiu Lan.

Although she occasionally thought of him, she never took the initiative to look for him.

After all, their relationship is so special.

Two days later, in the conference hall of the Criminal Investigation Building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the three giants of the criminal investigation department gathered together to prepare for clue analysis of the two bodies found in Yuanlangshan.

At nine o'clock, the meeting began, and a woman's delicate photo was projected on the screen.

"This is the deceased found this time, Liang Peiru, 24 years old, a rich second generation, was found last Saturday at Cuihu in Yuanlang Mountain. Xu Chengyan pressed the button in his hand, his eyebrows were deep, "This is the specific information of the deceased, and the paper documents have also been distributed to you." ”

After the words settled, he moved his gaze to Qiu Lan's body and spoke softly, "Doctor Qiu, please tell me about the autopsy of the deceased." ”

"Good. Qiu Lan nodded, with a serious expression, "According to our autopsy, the deceased did not drown, but took a large dose of drugs to cause ischemia and death in the brain. ”
