Chapter 34: There is something else going on
Qing Ye on the other end of the phone was in a happy mood, what Lu Xifei helped her get was indeed a good errand, which was much higher than when she was working in Lu Xifei's house, and she was not busy, and more importantly, it was very close to home, so she could go home every day to take care of her grandmother. Although she didn't understand why Professor Lu suddenly fired her, she knew in her heart that Lu Xifei was the best employer.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Lu Xifei received a call from Xu Wei and invited her to the bureau to discuss. Lu Xifei revised his thesis yesterday, and he fell asleep at three o'clock, and now it is just after five o'clock, and he only feels that his eyes are very sore, but the matter of the case is always the most important thing, even if he feels tired, he still tidies up as quickly as possible.
What is rare is that after she went downstairs, Qiao Yixia also followed downstairs. Zhao Xiaomu's case is imminent, and her mother is still in the hospital, and Qiao Yixia is also unable to sleep.
After breakfast, Qiao Yixia and Lu Xifei were ready to go out together, anyway, the destination was the same, Qiao Yixia said: "Professor Lu, I will go to the hospital tonight to accompany my mother, and I will not come back." ”
Luci nodded in agreement.
It was still dark, but the two of them saw a figure standing tall outside the high fence. Lu Xifei walked forward, only to find that it was Qingye.
"Professor Lu." Qing Ye was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, hugged his shoulders, and smiled when he saw Lu Xi.
Lu Xifei opened the door, and Qiao Yixia also walked over: "It's so cold, why don't you go in?" ”
Qingye's delicate face turned pale from the cold, but he said happily with a smile: "I'm afraid of noisy you to sleep, after talking to you on the phone yesterday, I immediately booked a plane ticket and rushed back, I must say thank you in person." ”
"Don't be so polite, you have been with me for so many years, there is no credit and hard work, and I just did what I should do." Luci said.
Qing Ye shook his head: "Professor Lu, you pay me a salary every month, which is higher than the average white-collar monthly income, and I almost don't have to do anything, just cook and mop the floor, not only that, but you will also give me the new fashion you receive every month to wear, and now you have helped me find such a good job, so that I can stay in City B to take care of my grandmother, I really thank you......"
Qiao Yixia keenly caught the strangeness in Qing Ye's words: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but, you just said that Professor Lu helped you find a new job?" ”
"Okay Joe." Luci raised her voice abruptly, "You go to the garage and wait for me." ”
Qiao Yixia glanced at Qing Ye deeply, then at Lu Xifei, and turned around and went to the garage. After confirming that Qiao Yixia had completely left, Lu Xifei said: "You have been able to follow me for so many years, which is the reason why I don't treat you badly. You don't have to feel like you owe me anything, I would do it to anyone. Is there anything I forgot in the house and didn't take it with me, so I went and picked it up while I was still there. ”
Qing Ye shook her head with tears in her eyes, indeed, except for some personal items, almost all of the rest were prepared for her by Lu Xifei. After following Lu Xifei for so many years, others may not know, but she knows better than anyone that Lu Xifei looks cold and unkind, but she is very kind and tolerant to others. Qingye is an employer who really likes this cold on the outside and hot on the inside. She hopes that after she leaves, there will be someone to take care of Luci in her place and make Luci live a better life.
Qiao Yixia left with Lu Xifei, and Qing Ye looked at the car that was driving away in the dust, and gradually wet his eyes.
Qiao Yixia is a smart person, many things can be understood in her own heart, there is no need to talk about the atmosphere on the table to make it embarrassing, just like now, she can be sure that it was Lu Xifei who fired Qingye by herself, if she didn't pay attention to proportion, she could have used this matter to ridicule Lu Xifei now, but because she was extremely measured, she was not someone else, but Qiao Yixia, a Qiao Yixia who had a good impression even if it was Lu Xifei.
When two people get along, no matter what the relationship is, if they want to develop for a long time, proportion is indispensable.
Xu Wei told Lu Xifei that due to the lack of evidence for the time being, the search warrant could not be approved for the time being, and even if it was approved, it would be a week later. But now is not the time for her to blackface, the procedure cannot be changed, and the case must continue to be solved.
"Captain Xu, if you can trust me, let me go to Zhou's house by myself."
Xu Wei really showed embarrassment: "This, Professor Lu, it's not that I can't believe you, but if this matter is really related to Zhou Guoqiang, then he is a vicious person, and it is too dangerous for you to go alone." In this way, I will send a few more people with you, so that they can keep watch outside, and they can protect you if there is any trouble. ”
"Because I'm not a policeman, Captain Xu can't trust me."
Xu Wei was a little embarrassed, he admitted that in addition to worrying about Lu Xifei's safety, on the other hand, after all, Lu Xifei did not have a police rank, and he was not an official member of their bureau, so he was only counted as a foreign aid, and without the accompaniment of an official person, I am afraid it would be difficult to convince the public.
But now, Xu Wei is no longer stubborn, and his life is at stake, so he has to compromise temporarily.
Seeing Lu Xiyu again, Zhou Guoqiang's brows furrowed slightly, but because there were only others, he didn't look as resistant as last time, and invited her into the back room. The little girl saw that it was Lu Xifei, but she was still not angry, sat on the sofa, and watched TV by herself with a blank look.
"It's surprising that there was only one female police officer here today." Zhou Guoqiang said.
Lu Xifei explained: "I am a teacher, and my surname is Lu. In order not to give the Zhou family's parents a sense of oppression, she only referred to the professor as a teacher.
Zhou Guoqiang snorted coldly: "Teacher, this is really fresh. ”
Lu Xifei ignored him anymore, got up and walked over to the girl and sat down, the girl was watching a variety show, and the logo in the lower right corner said Happy Camp. Seeing Lu Xifei coming over, the girl moved awkwardly in, which was a sign of disgust for Lu Xifei. But what she didn't know was that Lu Xifei had to suppress the awkwardness hundreds of times stronger every time she handled a case, so that she could sit down in a place where she was not sure if she had been disinfected or not, and she didn't know how many people had sit.
She noticed that the girl would be extra happy whenever there was a camera of the host Li Weijia, and sometimes what he said was not so funny, but the girl kept a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Vega is a very intelligent host, I have met him a few times at the airport before, and he is also very easy-going." Lucy said nonchalantly. Apparently she was lying.
The girl suddenly came to her senses: "Really? Have you seen Jiaye? ”
Luci nodded: "When we were at the airport, we were in the same lounge. Talked a few words. ”
"What did you all talk about? Isn't Jia Ye very good? The girl had now forgotten her previous hostility, and her eyes were full of stars.
Lu Xifei first glanced at Zhou Guoqiang lightly, and then said to the girl: "It's nothing. ”
The girl saw that she glanced at her father, and thought that she was probably not very good at gossiping because of the occasion, but she could not suppress her curiosity, so she said, "Come with me to my room, and then talk to me slowly." ”
"Hello!" Zhou Guoqiang scolded angrily when he heard this, "Now is not the time for you to say that you don't have these things, you really don't know how to measure!" I'm so spoiled for you! ”
Seeing this, Lu Xifei shrugged lightly and said forget it, and the girl got up and sat down next to Zhou Guoqiang, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Oh, Dad, I like Jiaye for so many years, I haven't seen him for so many years, just let Teacher Lu tell me, soon." Although the girl has worked, it seems that she is still a little girl with an immature mind, and Zhou Guoqiang loves her very much.
Zhou Guoqiang stood up on crutches and shook his head helplessly, but it was not difficult to capture his helplessness mixed with his strong doting feelings for his daughter: "Then you talk here, I'll go back to the house first." ”
Zhou Guoqiang is really an old fox, Lu Xifei wants to break him away, yes, but even so, Lu Xifei's range of activities can only be this room. With Zhou Guoqiang's departure, the girl sat next to Lu Xifei again, and she didn't reject her so much after she learned that Lu Xifei was a teacher, plus Lu Xifei had been so close to her long-time idol, the girl couldn't help but worship Lu Xifei.
For Lu Xifei, although she has never watched this variety show, and she has never heard of the host in the show, it is easy for her to make up some real and trustworthy stories.
After the girl gradually let down her guard, Luci asked, "Since you like him so much, why don't you go and see him?" Or is your father not very supportive? ”
The girl pouted and shook her head: "Dad loves me very much, after all, he only has a baby daughter like me, but the only thing he opposes me is chasing stars, he told me that people like them who are as far away as stars, we only watch and enjoy it on TV, and indulging in it will only affect our lives." I don't want to my dad off. ”
is a filial and sensible child.
Seeing that Luci didn't speak, the girl continued: "Teacher, I don't think you are so annoying. But I just don't understand, what the hell are you going to do when you came to my house yesterday, my brother has been gone for so long, why do you still rub salt in my dad's wounds, you don't know how much my dad has missed him all these years. ”
"We don't mean to embarrass your father, it's just that there may be something else about your brother's death." Lucy Fei paid attention to the subtle changes in the girl's face, "If you as a family member don't want to know more about it, I don't care. ”
Hearing the word hidden feelings, the girl's small but deep eyes flashed with a glimmer of starlight, about the matter of her brother, her father rarely mentioned it to herself, and she was afraid of causing her father to be sad, so she naturally did not take the initiative to ask. It's just that she has always firmly believed in her heart that her brother must be a good man.
"Mr. Lu, what happened to my brother's death?"
