Chapter 297: A Strange Familiarity
"After investigation, it is understood that the family of the deceased Zhou Xiaojun made trouble, as well as the rumors on the Internet are all false fabrications, and the forensic doctor Qiu Lan is not derelict in his duties, and will return to the forensic department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau on time next Monday to report. ”
The sky was clear, and the breeze blew away, blowing away a dark cloud in Qiu Lan's heart.
She slowly breathed a sigh of relief, tilted her head slightly, the corners of her mouth lifted lightly, and her gaze gently fell on the blue sky and white clouds, relieved.
Suddenly, her heart suddenly brightened.
This round of rough waves finally stopped, and everything was back on track.
Qiu Lan shrugged her shoulders lightly and strode upstairs, wanting to tell Li Shanghan the good news, after all, this time it was thanks to his help.
"Ding Dong", the door of the elevator slowly opened, she walked out of the stairwell, entered a few digits on the combination lock, the door was gently pushed open, and it was still the two little ones who greeted him.
"Alright, good, good. She squatted down and gently stroked the coquettish cookies at her feet, in a good mood, "I know you're hungry, good boy, I'll mix food for you later." ”
After speaking, Qiu Lan raised her eyes and looked at the situation in the room, her eyebrows slightly raised.
"Cookie, cookie, didn't he come back today?" she gently kneaded the big golden retriever's cheek, and there was a hint of loss in her voice.
This loss set off ripples in her heart one after another.
"Wang!" the big golden retriever cookie didn't know what she said again, but no matter what she said, he would try his best to answer her.
This is a tacit understanding between them.
"Good cookie, I know, I'll get you something to eat. Qiu Lan hooked her red lips and walked to the bowl in the corner to fill the two little ones in the house with dry food and snacks.
"Okay, you eat obediently, I'll go rest. She gently touched the cookie, whispered softly, and then turned and walked into the bedroom, where she lay lazily on the soft Simmons.
Panixetin is a banned drug in the world, because the drug is very strong, Qiu Lan has been injected with a large amount of normal saline in the hospital to dilute the ingredients in this medicine after being brought out by Li Shanghan, but there are still some residues, which makes her a little weak.
The dazed Qiu Lan half-squinted her eyes and quickly sank into a dream.
A breeze crept into the room from the window, stirring the curtains, and there was a rustling sound of high and low levels.
The hour hand on the wall was ticking, and as the minutes passed, Qiu Lan's breath flowed smoothly and unfazedly.
It wasn't until the sun set that Qiu Lan was gently awakened by the biological clock in her body.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, pursed her red lips lightly, and slowly raised her eyes, and the retro English chandelier suddenly came into view.
With a sideways glance, the clock on the wall was already pointing to six o'clock, and Qiu Lan stretched comfortably, got up and left the bedroom.
Everything outside was still calm, exactly the same as when she returned.
Hasn't he come back yet?
Or is it that while she was asleep, he came back, but something happened and left again.
Qiu Lan, who frowned slightly, walked to the corner of the small corridor and glanced at the pair of slippers in front of the shoe cabinet, her eyes dim.
I guess I haven't come back yet.
I don't know why, she always thinks of Li Shanghan involuntarily, but she also thinks of his indifference.
Maybe it's because I've been too busy at work lately, so I'm tired, right?
Qiu Lan raised her eyebrows, turned around and walked into the kitchen, picking up a kitchen knife and spatula.
An hour later, simple yet delicate dishes were served to the table one by one.
Qiu Lan, who was standing at the dining table, looked at the masterpiece on the table with satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
She remembered that Li Shanghan liked to eat the food she cooked, so she deliberately placed two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and then sat next to him and waited patiently for him to come back.
Time passed minute by minute, from seven o'clock to eight o'clock, the food on the table was already cold, and Qiu Lan's enthusiastic heart was half cold.
Today is Friday, a weekday, Li Shanghan used to come back before half past seven, but today it was half an hour late.
Qiu Lan frowned, and a trace of doubt crossed her eyes.
She picked up her phone, flipped to Li Shanghan's communication page, and typed a few words in the dialog box below, but deleted it before she could send it.
Maybe it's because there's too much going on, right?
It's a little later, it's okay.
Qiu Lan shrugged her shoulders and brought the food on the table back to the kitchen to heat it up again, and then put it on the table again, quietly waiting for the sound of the door opening.
But until eleven o'clock in the evening, there was still silence at the door.
Qiu Lan, who was lying at the dining table, suddenly woke up, and looked back at the window, there was already a dark black sky outside the window, the stars were hidden under the clouds, the neon lights on the street were flickering lonely, and the street was already lonely.
Qiu Lan, who was full of loss, took a deep breath and looked at the hot and cold meal on the table, her eyes lowered.
She turned on her phone, her fingers dangling over Li Shanghan's name for a few seconds, but she still hesitated and fell.
"Toot, toot, toot. ”
The cold voice sounded in the earpiece, Qiu Lan listened to the endless beep with anxiety, and her palms were full of sweat.
A minute later, the beeping stopped, and the voice of the communication company's customer service rang out indifferently, "Sorry, you didn't make a call." ”
Qiu Lan bit her red lip and hung up the phone.
After a soft sigh, she brought the food on the table into the refrigerator and returned to the bedroom with her phone.
As soon as she sat down, her phone rang, the screen lit up, and Li Shanghan's name fell into her eyes.
Somehow, when she saw this message, her heart couldn't help beating faster, but after seeing the contents, her heart sank suddenly, and a chill came out of it.
"How?"
The simple two words are as piercing as the ice cubes stored in the ice cellar, and they also carry endless indifference.
"No, I just want to ask if you can come back so late?" Qiu Lan frowned, and her fingertips fluttered to type this sentence.
Before clicking send, in order to hide her concern for Li Shanghan, she added one more sentence, "If you don't come back, I'll lock the door." ”
The message was successfully sent, Qiu Lan put her phone aside and picked up the "Island Bookstore" on the bedside.
She gently flipped the pages of the book and found the place where she had last read, her eyes falling quietly, but her heart could not be calm, and her attention was always focused on the phone.
She was waiting for news from him.
But the news that had been sent out was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.
A burst of depressed feelings crept into Qiu Lan's heart, she closed the page in disappointment and hid in the quilt, but at this moment, the mobile phone screen suddenly lit up.
"Ding-dong. ”
It's Li Shanghan's news.
Qiu Lan slid open the lock screen page and clicked on the information details.
"I'm on a business trip and haven't been back lately. ”
The cold seven words are full of loneliness.
She didn't reply to him, just turned off her mobile phone and wall lamp, and lay down in the bed to sleep with her eyes closed.
But the turmoil in her heart made her toss and turn, and it was difficult for her to sleep.
