"No, no. Qiu Lan took a deep breath, stiffly hooked the corners of her mouth, and showed a shallow smile, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes, only loss and pale sadness.

"But you. ”

Li Shanghan furrowed his brows and muttered something in a low voice, but Qiu Lan didn't give him a chance and directly interrupted him.

"Nothing. She pursed her lips, her eyes lowered slightly, and her gaze did not stop on Li Shanghan's body, "Although the two of us are legally related, after all, we are just helping each other, I won't care about your life, and you don't have to tell me." ”

"Then why did you take the initiative to ask me today?" Li Shanghan stared at the person in front of him intently, raised his tone slightly, and asked her rhetorically.

"I, I. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips lightly, silently thinking about how to explain it.

She swallowed her saliva, her eyes flickered from side to side a few times, and she hesitated to respond, "It's just that I happened to see the news today, and it was quite a sensation on the Internet, so I paid attention to it." ”

See the news?

Listening to her words, Li Shanghan lowered his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

When he knew the news on the Internet early this morning, he disconnected the network cable at home, and Qiu Lan's mobile phone was also hidden by him for a reason, how could she see the network message?

Just when Li Shanghan didn't know why, Qiu Lan lifted the blanket on her lap, slowly stood up, stroked the hair around her ears in embarrassment, and her red lips moved slightly, "That, it's not early, I'll go back to the room first, rest early." ”

As soon as the end of the note fell, Qiu Lan strode towards the bedroom, and the warm man golden retriever followed closely behind her and returned to the bedroom together.

Li Shanghan, who was sitting in the living room, stared coldly at the person in front of him, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he had mixed tastes.

At this moment, he wanted to step forward and take Qiu Lan's hand and explain to her again, but he should have told her everything, what else could he say?

A faint sour taste overflowed his heart, and he looked at the petite back of Qiu Lan leaving with a heavy face, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed, and it was like a thousand catties of iron and stone hanging under his feet, and he couldn't move a single step.

With a soft sound of "bang", the bedroom door was gently closed, Li Shanghan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and leaned on the cushions of the sofa, and the picture of last night in the hotel involuntarily poured out in front of his eyes.

The mess of the room, Fu Xiaoqing's ugly movements, and a touch of red on the white sheets.

This scene couldn't help but sting his eyes, and Li Shanghan, who was cold-faced, clenched his fists in his hands, his brows tightened, and the expression on his face was mixed with a trace of anger.

He wouldn't let go of this matter so easily.

and Fu Xiaoqing.

If Li Shanghan still had a little respect for the Fu family before, it was also consumed little by little by the means behind Fu Xiaoqing.

When she was in Zixiang County at the beginning, Fu Xiaoqing was looking for someone to attack Qiu Lan, and he had already given her a warning, but she didn't expect that she would do it later.

Last time at the banquet, this time at the restaurant.

A piercing light swept under Li Shanghan's eyes, he bit his back molars, his eyes were deep and dark, faintly revealing a hatred.

He will not let go of anyone who dares to do something to him, or to harm the person around him, no matter who that person is.

A cool cold wind blew into the living room, gently stirring the corners of Li Shanghan's clothes, but it couldn't blow away the anger towards Fu Xiaoqing in his eyes.

At the same time, in the bedroom of the apartment, Qiu Lan was lying on the bed with the quilt covered, her eyes closed, tossing and turning, and she couldn't sleep.

She breathed rapidly, her hand clutching the corners of the quilt gradually tightened, and her brow on her forehead furrowed slightly.

The dim light in the corner of the wall had been dimmed to its weakest, but Qiu Lan still felt dazzling.

In desperation, she simply sat up, leaned on the head of the bed, and looked at the dressing table facing her in a daze, but inadvertently, the small sand painting quietly fell into her eyes.

It was a gift he gave her.

Qiu Lan pursed her red lips lightly, her eyes slowly focused on the sand painting, and she felt uneasy in her heart.

Did she really like him?

Why was she so sad to know that the news was true?

Where does the vinegar in my heart come from?

Qiu Lan, who had a big explosion of inner emotion, tightly pulled up the soft quilt, wrapped her body, and curled up in this small space.

She didn't know if she really had feelings for Li Shanghan, but she was sure that when she knew about it, she was heartbroken.

This pain was even far worse than when she knew that Xue Yancheng and Qiu Yan had a leg three years ago.

"Me. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips and involuntarily let out a small murmur, "Do you really like him?"

Sleepless nights.

A few days later, in the early morning, the morning light woke up the city, and Qiu Lan also opened her eyes with the sunrise, and after a brief freshening, she left the apartment.

When leaving, she also subconsciously glanced at Li Shanghan's room, and felt a sense of loss in her heart.

In the Criminal Investigation Building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Qiu Lan appeared in the office of the forensic department on time.

"Doctor Qiu, morning. Xiao Cong hooked the corners of his mouth and greeted her, his voice was brisk, "By the way, Dr. Qiu, I heard that you were injured, how are you?

"Thank you Satoshi for your concern, I'm getting better. Qiu Lan pursed the corners of her mouth lightly, and a shallow smile appeared on her face.

She put down the things in her hand, sat at the desk, opened the information on the table, scanned it cursoryly, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Cong, how happened to the previous case?

"Not for the time being, I haven't heard anything said during this time, but I handled a traffic accident case two days ago, and the details are already on your desk. Satoshi shrugged her shoulders and gave a brief account of her work in the past few days of absence.

At this moment, there was a crisp knock in the direction of the office door.

"Please come in. Qiu Lan stopped what she was doing and looked at the door suspiciously, "Officer Xu, you're here, just now, I'm still asking Xiao Cong how the case happened before, has the man's identity been confirmed?"

According to the process of handling the case, the forensic doctor is only responsible for the autopsy and the physical and psychological judgment of the suspect, and other colleagues are responsible for the rest of the work, but according to Lin Xiaoqing's description, the man in the portrait is too similar to Qiu Shiming, so she has to pay attention to this case.

"Doctor Qiu, I heard that you are back today, and I am just about to come up and talk to you about that case. Xu Chengyan took out a piece of information in the folder and put it in front of Qiu Lan.

"Look at it. He pursed his thin lips, and the expression on his face became a little serious, "We have investigated, and the identity of that man has been confirmed to be Qiu Shiming, the chairman of the Qiu Group." ”

The answer was settled, Qiu Lan frowned, her lips pursed into a straight line, "Since it's him, then you should ask him for questions." ”
