Chapter 171: The Necklace on the Statue
"Doctor Qiu, do you still miss your favorite person now?" Li Shanghan quietly raised the corners of his mouth, and his voice was a little gentle in the cold wind.
"Huh?" Qiu Lan raised her eyebrows, her eyes rolling, "Dang, of course there is." ”
At this moment, what she thinks about most is actually the two little ones in the family.
Although she had filled the food bowls with her cats and dogs this morning, she hadn't left them for a day since she adopted cookies and cookies.
Unexpectedly, today I will leave them alone in the apartment.
Maybe those two little ones are thinking about her too, right?
Suddenly, Li Shanghan lowered his eyes and opened his lips silently, "Then I'll accompany you to have a look." ”
Look?
Listening to his words, Qiu Lan's eyebrows couldn't help but move, and she always felt as if he knew something.
"Nanshan Cemetery, your necklace was left to you by your mother. Li Shanghan hugged her tightly and gently moved his thin lips, "I still remember that there was this necklace on that portrait." ”
Sure enough, he knew it.
Suddenly, Qiu Lan remembered that in the three years she had been away, it was the man next to her who had gone to mourn her parents on her behalf.
It's been three years, and he has helped himself fulfill his filial piety for three years.
At this moment, Qiu Lan didn't know what to say, so she could only purse her red lips, lowered her eyes, and murmured, "Thank you." ”
Needless to say, Li Shanghan understood what she was doing with this thank you.
"Needless to say, thank you, you're my woman. ”
In the quiet long night, the stars were embedded in the deep sky, and in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, Qiu Lan lay in Li Shanghan's arms and fell asleep hazy.
When she woke up, her whole body was lying on the flat seat of the co-pilot, with Li Shanghan's coat on her body.
Looking sideways, the sky was already dark, and a little red line was outlined in the sky.
"Are you awake?" I don't know where Li Shanghan came from, and suddenly appeared in front of her, "The time is just right, the sun is about to rise, I also found a friend who is climbing the mountain just now, he helped us find rescue, it should be soon." ”
"Didn't you sleep yesterday?" Qiu Lan asked softly as she looked at the dark green under his eyes.
"Last night?" Li Shanghan pursed his thin lips and nodded slightly, "There are snakes here, we can't sleep together with two people." ”
So he didn't sleep all night last night, watching the wind for her.
"I'm sorry, but you should have woken me up, let's go to sleep. Qiu Lan lowered her eyes and looked sorry.
"Okay, don't talk about that, if you don't get out of the car, you won't be able to see the most beautiful moment of the sunrise. ”
As the words settled, he slowly turned away, his gaze fixed on the red line.
Qiu Lan moved her arms, stepped out of the car, and stood next to Li Shanghan, looking at the sky together.
The sun in the early morning is like a shy girl, and the appearance of holding the pipa and half-covering her face is particularly eye-catching.
When the red sun was half-hidden, a low and charming voice suddenly sounded at Qiu Lan's side.
"How's it going? Look at the city now, half baptized by the morning light, half silent in the mist, and I like to see it the most. Li Shanghan hooked the corners of his lips, and the expression on his face softened a little.
"That's why I chose to be a lawyer, there are good people and bad people in this world, just like the city now, and lawyers are the golden sunshine that lifts the mist. ”
Qiu Lan, who was standing on the side, listened to his words silently, and a ripple rippled in her heart.
As a forensic doctor, she and Li Shanghan have three views that are compatible.
Set things right, speak for the dead, find out the truth, and give justice to the dead.
The two of them stood silently by the stone railing, gazing at the rising sun, and this moment was especially beautiful.
Twenty minutes later, a car drove up the mountain, and Li Shanghan and Qiu Lan left the top of the mountain in the car.
When I returned to the city, it was already 8:20 in the morning, and Qiu Lan went directly to the police station without having time to change her clothes.
Downstairs in the police station, she happened to meet Xu Chengyan, who was walking towards her.
"Doctor Qiu, it's early. ”
"Early. Qiu Lan nodded politely, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, "By the way, Officer Xu, how was the previous case?"
"I've been looking for a lot of things to do impact experiments recently, and I've got a lot of data, so if you have time, you can come over and see if there are any useful clues. ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you, Dr. Qiu. Xu Chengyan's eyes sank, and there was tiredness between his eyebrows.
In the past few days, all the members of the serious crime team have been preoccupied with the oil drum case, working overtime and staying up late for several days to sort out the information of the forensic department and the situation of going out to investigate.
However, there are very few clues that can help in this case, so there has not been much progress so far.
"I have read all the appraisal reports in the past two days, but there are very few that can provide strong clues as evidence, and several issues from the last meeting are still being processed. Xu Chengyan sighed lightly, his voice heavy.
"But there's one thing we did. He pursed his lips and frowned, "In addition to the deceased's home, the deceased's sister and the deceased do have a place to frequent. ”
"In the Hunhe neighborhood, there is a small market over there, and we have checked a lot of information and found that they go there at least five times a month. ”
"Hunhe neighborhood?" Qiu Lan thought about this place in her mind, her eyes turning slightly, "It seems to be a downtown area, just like a night market." ”
"Yes. Xu Chengyan nodded, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, we went over there for two nights in a row, and there were many people, and it was difficult to find any clues from there." ”
Qiu Lan in Hunhe Block had been there once, but it was a long time ago, when they all went at night, but there were a lot of people.
It is a trade market in City A, and there are many people from other places, and people from all walks of life are haunted there, so it is really difficult to find clues.
But because of the chaos and complexity there, it is also the place with the highest crime rate.
"Officer Xu, this case is relatively difficult, but I believe that the elite of the serious crime team will definitely be able to solve the case, and I will continue to seek verification, and strive to make a reasonable inference from the wound on the deceased's chest. Qiu Lan frowned slightly, her expression solemn.
"Uh-huh. Xu Chengyan looked at her softly and nodded slightly.
He swallowed nervously, and his Adam's apple involuntarily rolled up and down once, as if he had something to say in his mouth.
After being silent for a moment, Xu Chengyan raised his eyes and said in a low voice, "Doctor Qiu, I don't know if I can invite you to dinner tonight." ”
Hearing his words, Qiu Lan's eyebrows moved, and her lips pursed slightly.
Last night, she spent the night at the top of the mountain, full of exhaustion and no change of clothes, so she didn't really want to go out to eat, she just wanted to go home and lie down in a soft and comfortable bed.
Just when she was about to refuse, Xu Chengyan preemptively said the next sentence, "Actually, today is my birthday, but no one in my family is here, so I want to ask Dr. Qiu if he has time to enjoy it." ”
