Zhong Ruoxi sent Li Qing back to the villa, and then drove away.

Li Qing stood on the side of the street and first called Yang, who was on his way to the airport with Huo Yi, Li Qing briefly explained the situation of going to see Chen Hongming, and told him not to touch the metal box for the time being. After doing these things, Li Qingcai took a deep breath, took out the key and unscrewed the door.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Lin Qiuqiu pacing in the living room wearing a light and silky pajamas, frowning slightly, looking sullen. It wasn't until he turned his delicate body and found that Li Qing was back, and his tightly locked eyebrows stretched slightly: "I'm back." ”

"Hmm. Li Qing nodded, stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Lin Qiuqiu's slender waist with a smile, and caressed Lin Qiuqiu's delicate skin through the thin pajamas with his fingertips, and the wonderful touch made Li Qing's heart flutter slightly.

However, Lin Qiuqiu was obviously a little absent-minded: "Don't make trouble, I'm annoying." ”

"What's annoying?" Li Qing raised her eyebrows in surprise, pulled Lin Qiuqiu to sit on the sofa, and reached out to pinch her delicate Qiong nose, "After resting all day, aren't you comfortable?"

With a slight purser of his mouth, Lin Qiuqiu said softly: "Lin Ying is here, I just went to the hospital to see Lin Yuan." I'm thinking about whether I should go to the hospital as well. ”

Li Qing asked casually, "Is he seriously injured?"

Fingers twisted together, Lin Qiuqiu said in a sullen voice: "It shouldn't be too serious, but there must be a scar on my face, and people may hate me for a while." ”

"You didn't do it in the first place, with a clear conscience. Li Qing took Lin Qiuqiu over and held him in his arms, "Have you called Zhonghai?"

"Grandpa wasn't very happy. Lin Qiuqiu paused slightly, "He said that Lin Yuan would first recuperate in the hospital, and the matter handed over by the company would be dealt with in a few days." However, I listened to the meaning of his words, and seemed to suspect that Lin Yuan's injury was done by me. ”

Li Qing slowly narrowed his eyes: "Are you really sure that he also suspects you?"

"I can feel it, it should be about the same. Lin Qiuqiu raised her pretty face to look at Li Qing, "What's wrong?

"No, I'm just asking. Li Qinggan laughed, but a few doubts swelled up inexplicably in his eyes. Lin Sheng should know the temperament of his juniors best, and his skeptical attitude towards Lin Qiuqiu surprised Li Qing.

Lin Qiuqiu asked, "By the way, what did you do?"

"Oh, I stayed with Yang for a while, and then I went to the detention center to see Chen Hongming. Li Qing said lightly, "There is one thing I want to tell you, Huo Yi is gone." ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Qing blinked and said, "Huo Yi is bored, so I want to go out for a walk." He was on this afternoon's plane and should have boarded by now. ”

Lin Qiuqiu stood up, with a little sorrow on his cheeks: "How can he be like this? He didn't say a word to me before leaving, even if he didn't treat me as a friend, but I was also his boss?"

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Qing pulled Lin Qiuqiu to sit down again: "You don't know Huo Yi's temper, he is naturally casual, and he can't stand the crying and crying when he leaves, and..."

Li Qing paused slightly, and his face looked a little unnatural: "He told me that during the days of protecting you, he didn't do anything, but took a lot of money, and I felt a little embarrassed to say goodbye to you." So, before he left, he made a point to ask me to apologize to you. The two of us are a family, and if he doesn't say the same to anyone, you don't care. ”

"I just don't feel sick in my heart. Lin Qiuqiu said, "He hasn't answered my phone for a while, and now he suddenly leaves without saying a word, is he dissatisfied with me?"

"How is it possible, he is just tired of being bored and wants to go out for a walk. Maybe I'll be back in two days, and I'll have to continue to be your bodyguard. Li Qing saw that Lin Qiuqiu still looked reluctant, and didn't dare to talk to her about Huo Yi's matter. After all, Li Qing was facing an extremely smart woman, and if Lin Qiuqiu noticed the truth of the matter, it would only make her feel more uncomfortable.

"Are you still going to the hospital?" Li Qing simply diverted the topic and distracted Lin Qiuqiu's attention.

This little trick still achieved good results, Lin Qiuqiu couldn't help but look distressed when he heard Li Qing talk about it: "I haven't decided yet, Li Qing, do you think I should go and take a look at Lin Yuan's injury?" Although I know that explaining to him has no effect, I still want to give it a try. ”

Li Qing thought about it for a while, wrapped Lin Qiuqiu tightly, and stared at her pretty face: "I don't think it's necessary, since there is no way to wash your name, don't show weakness." Besides, the two of us have been busy for a while, and it's rare to have a free time, so don't you plan to accompany me?"

"Hmph. Lin Qiuqiu rolled her eyes and muttered angrily, "It's obvious that you're busy." ”

"Then why don't you do that, wife, I'll accompany you today?" Li Qing said with a smile, picked up Lin Qiuqiu by the waist, and went to the upstairs bedroom in the latter's shyness.

After a few degrees, after a long battle, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Answer the phone. The jade arm wrapped around Li Qing's neck, Lin Qiuqiu's beautiful eyes were drunk, and her face was flushed.

"There was no time. "The beauty under her is coquettish, how can Li Qing have the leisure to deal with things. As soon as he raised his hand, he called the phone to the corner, the battery fell out, and the ringtone stopped abruptly. lowered his head and kissed Lin Qiuqiu's delicate red lips, his palm roamed over his smooth and fair skin, and the two of them got up again.

For the whole afternoon, Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu were together, like glue. Later, I got up to take a shower and get dressed, like a loving little couple, went to the supermarket, bought vegetables and came back to cook, and when it came to the evening, Li Qing asked for it without restraint.

It wasn't until the next morning that Li Qing suddenly remembered the phone call.

The quilt was lifted, Li Qing picked up the phone from the corner of the wall and restarted, and then turned it on, and a missed call was displayed, and the caller was Zhong Ruoxi.

"What is she calling me for?" Li Qing frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Lin Qiuqiu, who was still asleep on the **, tiptoed out of the bedroom, and went to the corridor to call Zhong Ruoxi.

"What did you do yesterday?" As soon as the phone was answered, Zhong Ruoxi asked with a slashed face.

Of course, Li Qing couldn't tell the truth, and pretended to answer seriously: "The phone is broken, I didn't see your call." ”

"Qi Kuan is back, no matter how unwilling you are, you'd better go and see him. ”

Li Qing was slightly stunned: "Didn't you say yesterday that he was going to stay in the Red Corner District for several days?"

"I'm on my way to Red Point, and now I'm understaffed, and even the Inspectorate has started to help solve the case. Qi Kuan was temporarily transferred back, and he came back with Deputy Director Ma Baoshan. Zhong Ruoxi took a breath softly, "Li Qing, something happened yesterday." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Qing had already instinctively smelled something wrong, there was such a big case in the Red Triangle, and there was the chief executive's attention, but Qi Kuan and Ma Baoshan were transferred back, and Zhong Ruoxi was sent to take over, Gangbei City must have been in a big mess yesterday.

After being silent for a while, Zhong Ruoxi's faint voice came out: "Chen Hongming is dead." ”

Suddenly his eyes widened, Li Qing held the phone in his hand, his posture was stiff, and the whole person seemed to be frozen on the ground, unable to move a bit.

"That's it, hang up. Zhong Ruoxi said coldly, and then hung up the phone.

Li Qing stood at the door stupidly for a few minutes, then lowered his hand, pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom, sitting on the edge of the ** silently.

"Where have you been?" Lin Qiuqiu hugged Li Qing from behind, the two bodies were tightly pressed together, and each could feel the temperature of the other.

Almost instantly, Lin Qiuqiu felt that something was wrong, because Li Qing's body was trembling slightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Qiuqiu turned to Li Qing, stared at his iron-blue cheeks, and asked nervously.

The graceful and delicate body was presented naked in front of Li Qing like this, but the latter couldn't raise half of his evil thoughts at the moment. The Adam's apple rolled a little, Li Qing grabbed Lin Qiuqiu's hand, and slowly clenched it, and his voice turned out to be a little difficult: "Chen Hongming is dead..."

An hour and a half later, the door opened, and a well-dressed Li Qing left the villa and got into a black SUV on the side of the road.

"Master Li. Ma Baoshan in the car had a respectful smile on his face, and immediately beckoned to the driver in the front seat, "Drive." ”

The car slowly drove away from the villa, and Li Qing looked unusually calm. It has been an hour and a half since the news of Chen Hongming's death was obtained, and no matter how big the panic is, it should be consumed.

With his eyes slightly condensed, Li Qing stared at the peace charm hanging in front of the car, and his two hands slowly clasped together. If it was simply Chen Hongming's death, Li Qing would not be so excited, the key is that the news came too coincidentally.

Zhong Ruoxi called yesterday afternoon, and only more than two hours ago, he met Chen Hongming for the last time. In other words, the time of Chen Hongming's death was not long after the time he met him.

"Kill people and kill people? Do you still want to give me a warning? Who killed Chen Hongming, and what was his intention?" Li Qing fell into deep thought, is it because his investigation has unknowingly touched the interests of some people? Chen Hongming must know something, but now that he is dead, he will also be buried with secrets, and his clues are broken again.

Lingang has entered winter, although the winter here is not as heavy as the snow in Yanjing, but it also makes people feel a deep chill. Li Qing looked at the pedestrians hurrying by outside the car window, hesitated slightly, and then asked in a low voice, "When did it happen?"
