At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was gradually setting, and in the dissection room of the forensic department of the criminal investigation building of the police station, the light of the shadowless lamp was suddenly extinguished.

In the office, the tired Qiu Lan lit the aromatherapy tower on the table, because the exquisite copper tray was placed on the car by Li Shanghan, and she could only temporarily replace it with an iron bottle and can.

Suddenly, she thought of the man in her heart.

I don't know, the copper aromatherapy tray is still in his car.

Maybe it's already been thrown away, right?

Inadvertently, a faint sourness surged in Qiu Lan's heart.

She closed her eyes, leaned lightly on the back of the seat, relaxed slightly, and gently pressed her fingertips on the acupuncture points on both sides of her nose.

The clock on the wall ticked, and nothing could be heard in the office except for Qiu Lan's breathing.

At this moment, a melodious European and American song sounded.

Qiu Lan slowly opened her eyes, looked at the font on the phone screen, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a shallow smile appeared on her face.

It's Qi Mo's phone.

She pressed the answer button, and a deep female voice came out of the phone's earpiece.

After a few words of conversation, Qiu Lan put down her phone, put the documents on the table on the storage cabinet next to her, and then left the police station with her coat and backpack.

At six o'clock, she showed up at a retro restaurant in Diamond Star Plaza.

Walking through the door, the melodious classical music came to her ears, and a waiter in ancient costume walked up to her side, "Hello, have you made a reservation?"

"Well, there's already someone in there. Qiu Lan pursed her pink red lips and nodded, her eyes searching the hall.

Finally, at the small table behind the cherry blossoms, she saw a familiar figure.

"The end. She strode over and sat opposite Qi Mo, the corners of her mouth were lightly raised, and her eyes were full of smiles, "Why did you suddenly call me out for dinner today?

"I want to win the lottery, but where did I win?" Qi Mo laughed, poured a glass of fresh lemonade and put it in front of Qiu Lan, "I saw that you have been working too hard to deal with the case recently, so I called you to eat, this is a newly opened restaurant, the environment is okay, right?"

"It's really good. Qiu Lan raised her eyes and glanced at the classical and elegant environment around her, and nodded with satisfaction, "I just don't know how the dishes are here." ”

"If you don't want to taste it. Qi Mo handed her the menu book on the wooden shelf next to her, his head tilted slightly, and he looked cute.

Qiu Lan, who was full of smiles, took over the menu, looked at Qi Mo with a happy spring breeze, and joked softly, "Mo Mo, you have been doing well lately, your complexion is so good, is it spring?"

"Xiaolan, what are you talking about?" Qi Mo lowered his eyes and looked shy, "It's just that my dad is finally back to his old self now, and I'm happy." ”

Listening to her words, Qiu Lan nodded, and she was happy for her in her heart.

Suddenly, she thought of something, and raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, "By the way, Momo, how is Uncle Qi's work?"

Speaking of this, Qi Mo's eyes were obviously a little strange, she bit her lip, and took a sip of the water glass on the table, "It's been resolved, didn't Officer Xu mention the work of the back kitchen last time?" ”

"It would be nice if it was solved. Qiu Lan nodded a few times and looked at the person in front of her with worried eyes.

It has been a long time since the affairs of Zixiang County, but Qi Mo will still be a little embarrassed and concerned when he mentions Xu Chengyan.

"Momo, do you want to eat hoof flower soup?" Qiu Lan deliberately changed the topic, put the recipe in front of Qi Mo, and her fingertips landed on one of the pictures, "You see that corn and kelp hoof flower soup is a specialty here, why don't we try it?"

Qi Mo, whose eyes were lowered, moved his gaze to look at the pattern on the recipe, but he didn't have the slightest desire to eat it in his heart, but looked at the oil soup on the picture and felt sick to his stomach.

"How's that? Don't you like this best? Qiu Lan didn't notice the upheaval in Qi Mo's stomach, and was still chuckling and teasing her.

"I, I. Qi Mo clenched his fists, his lips tightly closed, trying to stifle the nausea in his heart, "I'll go to the toilet." ”

After a quick drop, she strode to the bathroom.

Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Qiu Lan immediately put down the recipe in her hand and chased after her with her backpack.

In the bathroom of the restaurant, the pale-faced Qi Mo was holding the sink and nauseating against the sink, but she didn't vomit anything, just kept retching.

"Momo, you're alright. Qiu Lan frowned, stood next to her, patted her back lightly with her hand, and said softly, "What's the matter, did you eat something bad? Do you want me to check it for you?"

"No, no. Qi Mo waved his hand and coughed lightly twice, "I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while, don't worry." ”

"How can I not be worried? If I feel unwell, I should see a doctor in time, and if you are sick, I will take you to see it, and see it as soon as possible. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips, her eyes full of worry.

"Not really. Qi Mo furrowed his brows, raised his eyes and glanced at the people around him, with an indescribable emotion hidden in his eyes.

Looking at each other, Qiu Lan saw the strangeness in Qi Mo's eyes, and suddenly remembered something.

She took a deep breath, and the expression on her face became a little more serious, "Momo, aren't you?"

She didn't finish the rest of the words, but Qi Mo understood, she knew what Qiu Lan meant, but she didn't make any response, just lowered her eyes helplessly.

"Momo, how long did your eldest aunt come last time?Has it come this month?How long has it been postponed?" Qiu Lan clenched Qi Mo's shoulders, and her hurried voice was full of concern.

If she didn't guess wrong, Qi Mo was most likely pregnant.

Extrapolating the time, the last incident in Zixiang County happened less than two months ago, and if Qi Mo was really pregnant, he might indeed have morning sickness.

"Xiaolan, I, I. Qi Mo bit his lip lightly, his eyes dodged, and a dense fine sweat appeared on his forehead, "This month's eldest aunt has been postponed for fifteen days. ”

"Fifteen days?" Qiu Lan took a deep breath, her eyes fluttered, and her eyebrows moved slightly, "Then have you checked it? Is it his?"

"I haven't checked yet, though, I'm just, only. Qi Mo closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what to say, "Xiao Lan, that was my first time, I, I only had him." ”

"Then you wait for me, I'll be back soon. Qiu Lan gently patted Qi Mo on the shoulder, turned around and left the restaurant.

By the time she returned, she had already had an extra pregnancy test in her bag.

"Momo, go in and take a test. Qiu Lan quietly took out the medicine box in her bag and stuffed it into Qi Mo's hand.

Qi Mo tightened his grip on the slender box, hesitated for a moment, and turned around and walked into the bathroom cubicle.
