Chapter 21 Talking and laughing
"Nothing. Qiu Lan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Officer Xu, let's have dinner together, anyway, Lawyer Li and I will be together." ”
"Probably not, I just collected a lot of clues here, and I still have to catch them and follow up. Xu Chengyan shrugged helplessly.
"It's noon now, it's time to eat. Qiu Yan picked up her phone and pointed to the time playfully, "Twelve o'clock, the police officer is also eating"
"Well, Dr. Qiu has already said so, so I might as well be respectful. Xu Chengyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded slightly.
Originally, Li Shanghan wanted to have lunch with Qiu Lan and the two, but he didn't expect to bite the gold halfway.
His eyes sank, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"I know a new yakiniku that's pretty good, so let's try it. Qiu Lan said with interest.
didn't think about it, before the words fell, Li Shanghan had already coldly refused, "You still have injuries on your hands, the barbecue is too hot, don't eat it, just eat something light." ”
Hearing this, Xu Chengyan immediately twisted his brows, looked sideways slightly, and asked with concern, "Doctor Qiu, are you injured?"
"Officer Xu, thank you for your concern, it's just a small bruise, it's nothing. Qiu Lan gently raised the corners of her lips and said softly.
"I'm sorry I didn't send you home yesterday. Xu Chengyan lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of worry lingering between his eyebrows, "Lawyer Li is right, since you are injured, let's eat something light." ”
"By the way, I know there is a soup pot in Red Star Square, a century-old shop, it's very good, go try it. He raised an eyebrow, his voice light.
"Okay, a century-old store, it must taste good, you can try it. Qiu Lan smiled and nodded.
Li Shanghan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, listened to the two people in the back seat talking and laughing, and his heart was very uncomfortable, and his already slightly frowning brows seemed to be wrinkled closer, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Following the route indicated by the navigation, they soon came to the "Yu Ji Soup Pot Shop", where there were many people, and they waited for ten minutes before settling down.
"I want a mushroom soup pot, thank you. After Qiu Lan ordered one at random, she handed the menu to the waiter, and then looked back at the two people opposite, "You can order whatever you want, I have a treat today." ”
"We're out for dinner, why are you embarrassed to invite you? Xu Chengyan responded politely.
"No, I owe lawyer a favor to me, I'll do it. Qiu Lan glanced at Li Shanghan meaningfully and said lightly.
"In this way, I will have a meal today, it doesn't matter, another day when Dr. Qiu's wound is fine, I will invite you to dinner. Xu Chengyan nodded gently.
Listening to the dialogue between the two, Li Shanghan's eyes became colder and colder.
Suddenly, Qiu Lan twisted her dark brown brows and asked worriedly: "Today at the construction site, we asked those workers, but none of them mentioned overtime, and there was no such thing on the punch sheet. ”
"What should we do? We can't just wait for the family to come back and see if there's any clue, right?"
She said the problem was a little tricky.
Although the foreman's mouth was pried open, the place where the deceased worked before his death was determined, and the suspected accident site was found, the table called by the foreman was obviously fake.
"I would go around with my colleagues to see if I could get some useful confessions. Xu Chengyan frowned, supported his chin with one hand, and said softly.
"I'm afraid that the visit should be useless. Li Shanghan lowered his eyes, took a sip of lemonade on the table, and said indifferently: "The construction site will start at night, and large machines will not be used, and the headlights will not be turned on, and the workers will do the handling work at most." ”
"Even the people on the tall building wouldn't have paid attention to it. His eyebrows moved slightly, and his voice became a little colder.
"Besides, now that this incident has happened, I am afraid that all the projects under the name of the Qiu Group have stopped working overtime in order to avoid the limelight during this time. ”
A few simple sentences point to the crux of the matter.
"Then what should we do now? we can't sit still, right?" Qiu Lan muttered in a low voice, thinking about this matter in her heart.
"I'll find a way, maybe to get this evidence, not by normal means. Li Shanghan's eyes flashed, and he spoke indifferently.
"Lawyer Li, as a lawyer, you can't know the law and break the law. Xu Chengyan followed his voice and reminded.
Such a kind reminder may be a reflex of being a police officer.
Even if he knew that the person in front of him was a well-known lawyer, he couldn't help but want to say a few more words.
But Li Shanghan, who heard this, glanced at him coldly. Just now in front of him and the woman who cared about him, there was still talking and laughing, and now he was saying something inconsequential in front of him.
It really made him feel unhappy for a while.
"Officer Xu is too worried, I naturally know the basic bottom line, but I don't get tired of cheating. His words were not polite at all, and his eyebrows and eyes were very sharp.
These expressions completely fell into Xu Chengyan's eyes, and the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen a little.
The atmosphere between the two of them was getting colder and colder, and Qiu Lan, who was feeling the cold atmosphere next to her, didn't know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, at this time, the waiter came over with a large pot and a small plate, "Hello, this is your dish, all of them have been served, enjoy it slowly." ”
"Okay, thanks. Qiu Lan responded politely and nodded slightly.
"Eat quickly, finish eating, let's do our own thing. She looked up at the two of them in a strange atmosphere, and said something to break the deadlock.
But in less than twenty minutes, when the food had just cooled down to the most suitable tasting, the phone in Qiu Lan's bag suddenly rang.
"I'm sorry I'll answer the phone. She whispered, then stood up and walked outside, "Hello, yes, I'm Forensic Qiu Lan. ”
"What?"
Hanging up the phone, she hurried back to her seat, looking hurried.
After taking out five hundred yuan in cash from her bag and putting it on the table, she put on a gray coat, "I'm sorry, there was a car accident on South Street, there were casualties, and my colleague asked me to go back quickly." ”
"You eat, the money is here, I invited this meal. ”
With that, she turned around and walked outside the store, but at this moment Xu Chengyan called her.
"Doctor Qiu, you wait for me, I'm going back to the police station too, let's go together, I'll just send you." He walked briskly after him while putting on his coat.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Qiu Yan furrowed her brows and nodded slightly.
Walking to the door of the store, she didn't forget to turn around and wave to Li Shanghan, with a little apology on her face.
Looking at the figure of the two of them leaving together, the unfinished food on the table, and the bright red hundred-yuan bills, Li Shanghan was speechless and unhappy for a while.
