Leaving the detention center, I invited Qin Song to have a meal, a Sichuan restaurant, with rows of red peppers hanging at the door.

Xin Pet and Qin Song are both from Sichuan Township, and they feel very kind when they see this, but Xin Pet has something in his heart, and he is always depressed after a meal and doesn't say a few words, so Qin Song can only talk to himself, trying not to let the field cool down, and finally make Xin Pet embarrassed, and when checking out, he promised: "I will invite you to have a good meal next time." ”

Qin Song is a gentleman, knowing that King Xiang has intentions, and the goddess has no intentions, so he has always kept a friendly distance from Xin Pet, patted her shoulder and comforted: "This matter is too complicated, don't push yourself too hard." ”

Xin Pet nodded, thanked him solemnly, and the two drove back to their respective law firms.

Xin Pet has been in the criminal court for so many years, and she has never fought an unprepared battle, and in this case, she did not trust her teacher unconditionally with just her enthusiasm, she also had her own considerations, and felt that this case was always suspicious. The suspicious interests in the criminal case belonged to the defendant, and she decided to investigate it again.

And the key to this case is the obedient red fire ants, she knows little about entomology and can't make good judgments, so she is ready to turn to experts in this area.

asked for help, and found the best, so she set her eyes on Ye Shizhao.

Even people who don't know much about entomology can say a few words when they mention Ye Shizhao. For example, the founder of "Yousheng Worm", the leading biotechnology laboratory in China. For example, he has a number of biomimetic invention patents. For example, do you guess that he can be on the Forbes rich list with all this patent income alone?

seems to be such a high-ranking person, but he has a very down-to-earth identity, a famous popular science blogger on a knowledge portal. This is also the only place where Xin Pet can get close to him.

She began to reluctantly send him private messages, telling him about the case, about her teacher, and about everything she knew. She had been harassing him for a week, and when she mentioned that she had a sample of fire ants from the crime scene, the other party finally wrote back:

"Bring the red fire ants and see you tomorrow. ”

Ye Shichao and Xin Pet made an appointment to meet at a museum, which is the largest insect museum in the city, which contains millions of insect specimens, which is definitely a treasure trove for humans, but Xin Pet has never been to it once, because she doesn't like insects.

Ye Shichao said that at ten o'clock, he would stand in front of the emperor moth butterfly specimen in the butterfly hall and wait for her.

Xin Pet hurriedly walked into the museum, it was already five o'clock, asked the staff, and walked directly into the butterfly hall.

There are not many people in the butterfly hall, butterfly lovers are taking pictures with a camera, her eyesight and memory are very good, looking for the emperor moth butterfly, and so on, it happened to be ten o'clock.

The doctor didn't seem to have arrived yet, and there was only one young* in front of the emperor moth butterfly quietly admiring the butterfly, and Xin Pet stood aside admiring him.

The man is very tall, thin, wearing a well-fitting black shirt and black pants, the shirt button is buttoned to the top one, full of abstinence smell, but the two straight and slender legs wrapped in suit pants are very eye-catching and attractive, and people can't help but aim at him.

Xin Pet has always been bold, and there is no one who doesn't dare to look at this matter, so he walked up to him, pretended to look at the specimen, and looked up at his face.

Yo, he has a good figure, he looks good, and his eyelashes are growing against the sky, how can he say that he wants to swing on his eyelashes?

Maybe it was because her eyes were too much*, the man looked back at her, frowned, and asked, "Lawyer Xin?"

"Ah, it's me. Xin Pet was taken aback, he didn't expect that he could be caught red-handed by others when he saw a beauty, could it be that he had teased him before?

She was searching for an impression of him in her mind, but the other party raised her wrist and looked at her watch, and the white wrist was wearing a black watch, and the picture was really ...... The heart is rippling.

She was thinking nonsense, and she heard the other person say, "You are very punctual." ”

"Huh?" Xin Pet was stunned for a moment, his brain was running rapidly, and he thought of a possibility, "Huh, are you Dr. Ye?"

The other man nodded.

At the same time, countless barrages crossed Xin Pet's mind, all shouting:

Every day, every day!

Now the academic community has begun to fight for appearance?

Growing like this and squatting in the lab to raise bugs?

Are you worthy of the big sisters, young ladies and girls waiting for the handsome guys on the street, as well as some of the big and small guys?

Of course, the barrage is only in her heart, and she can't show a penny, she quickly sorted out her expression, smiled just right, and stretched out a hand towards Ye Shichao: "Thank you for being willing to see me, I didn't expect you to be so young and didn't recognize it for a while, don't be surprised." But how do you recognize me?"

Ye Shichao stretched out his hand and shook her briefly, "Your ID avatar is your photo." Now it seems that the photo is very real and has not been retouched. ”

Xin Pet naturally regarded this sentence as a compliment, after all, everyone who had seen her had praised her appearance, and always thought that she was invincible in both the lawyer and the flirtatious world.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I really don't know who to turn to for help with this matter but you. She said as she took the bottle containing the fire ant sample out of her bag, "I secretly hid these ants, hoping to find evidence in their favor for the teacher." ”

Ye Shichao didn't take the bottle, his eyes moved from the bottle to her face, and looked at her with a scrutinizing look, "Do you really think that a small insect can help solve a criminal case?"

"Of course. Xin Pet's eyes were bright and determined, without the slightest hesitation, "There are precedents for insect solving at home and abroad, and the history of insect solving in our country can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. ”

"You are a lawyer, you should know the judicial profession very well, and your network should be wider than mine, why didn't you find someone to help you? Instead, you asked me for help from a stranger?" Ye Shichao asked her, his eyes sharpened.

"Because there is really no one to be found. Xin Pet replied very honestly and helplessly, "To tell you the truth, I went to find a familiar forensic doctor, and I also went to the school to visit the professor of forensic entomology, but so far the research of forensic entomology has still stayed on the insects that often appear at the corpse scene, such as maggots and flies." No one has studied fire ants eating humans, and there is no data to compare and examine. So I went to look it up, and I found out that there are only 62 scientists in the world who are engaged in research in this field, which is the whole world. There are only a handful in China. ”

"That's because it's an under-valued area. Ye Shichao's gaze fell back on the butterfly specimen in front of him, and the expression on his face was hidden in the shadows, flickering and dimming, "I also took forensic entomology in college, but even the tutor himself advised us not to take this research as our main business, otherwise we would be hungry when we left school." ”

"Then I only have this in my hand now, what can I do?" Xin Pet was a little disappointed, squeezing the hand of the small glass bottle, a little white, "Only this one is hopeful, I always have to give it a try." ”

Ye Shichao stretched out his hand to her at this time, "It's okay to give it a try, but there is no result, don't regret it." ”

Xin Pet was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed over the small glass bottle, "What do you regret? Hope is better than no hope." ”

There was still her residual warmth on the small glass bottle, and it fell into his palm, as warm as her gaze, and his hand unconsciously shrank.

The fire ants in the bottle were all dead, and the brown tentacles were still sticking to the dirt, he held the bottle up, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Is the crime scene lifted?"

"It's been lifted a long time ago. Xin Pet's eyes rotated with Ye Shichao's movements, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to check his homework, "But in order to prevent fire ants from scurrying around and hurting people, the police sprayed insecticides around the crime scene, and more than ten days have passed, and I can't see the live fire ants anymore. ”

"Let's go check it out. Ye Shichao said and put the small bottle in his pants pocket, turned his head and asked Xin Pet, "Did you drive?"

Xin Pet nodded, "It's on." ”

"How's the technology?" he asked again.

"Also...... Not bad?"

Xin Pet didn't quite understand the purpose of his question, but his driving skills were really good, after all, he had played racing cars when he was young and frivolous, and he had driven on winding mountain roads, and driving in a flat city was nothing.

Ye Shichao nodded, seemingly satisfied, "Then take your car." I don't like people who have poor driving skills and don't obey the traffic rules, for example, when I came here just now, the taxi driver didn't even turn his turn signal when he turned, I complained to him and remembered his license plate number. Jiang H3406, remember, the next time you meet this taxi, it is better not to take it. ”

As he spoke, he walked in the direction of the parking lot, Xin Pet stuck out his tongue behind him, thinking to himself, he is really a strict person, and his big grin must be carried around well, and he must not show it.
