Chapter 32: A hug

On the other side, Qiao Yixia and others have already arrived at Jiang Sixi's company. As in the photo, although Chairman Jiang is more than half a hundred years old, he is personable, handsome and chic, and has the fortitude of a mature man. Jiang Si was very modest, and he didn't have the frame of a big boss, so he pushed a meeting and sat in the office to accept inquiries from several people.

After hearing about Cui Ting, there was no surprised expression on his face, he seemed very calm, and only sighed slightly. Jiang Siwei took the Longjing tea that his assistant made for himself, and after drinking it, he put it on the same side of his body. Qiao Yixia captured this moment. From the perspective of body language, when the other person puts down the teacup after taking a sip of the drink, the position of the teacup is an important clue to determine his inner thoughts. If the topic of conversation makes the other person feel repulsed, he will place the teacup on the other side of his body and use this gesture to bend his arms to resist the "attack." But Jiang Si didn't, and it was clear that he didn't feel repulsed by the topic, or tried to deliberately avoid it.

"You suspect that Cui Ting's death is related to me." Jiang Siwei smiled bitterly, "In fact, in this circle, everyone knows that some things don't have to be taken seriously. I wouldn't take it seriously, and she wouldn't take it seriously. In other words, if I were to kill every woman I had an affair with, I would have too many people's blood on my hands. ”

Jiang Siwei said it very ordinarily, and said boldly and presumptuously frankly: "So, according to Boss Jiang's meaning, Cui Ting actually doesn't really love you?" ”

Jiang Sixi laughed as if he had heard a good joke: "Love me? Girl, you must not have been in love. Cui Ting, she is a little girl in her twenties, and I am an old man with a wife and children, what does she love about me? It's nothing more than my money. When we are together, we are nothing more than trying to have a good time. ”

"Boss Jiang, you are very close to Cui Ting, you must know a lot about her social circle, in your impression, has Cui Ting offended anyone?" Qiao Yixia asked.

Jiang Si shrugged: "She is a woman with a very good personality, not proud, and has a good temper, she is very popular with people in our business circle, we businessmen work from 9 to 5, no one will bother with such a little girl." Although I can't prove their innocence, I went to the field three days ago and flew back at 5 a.m. this morning. It's a fact. ”

Whether it is Jiang Sixi or Shen He, their words seem to have no practical effect on the breakthrough of the case, but two people who have nothing to do with each other have said two exactly the same points.

Shang Lu followed Qiao Yixia's side and left Hongyuan, his deep eyes hiding his thoughts: "Boss, Jiang Si should be innocent." ”

Qiao Yixia nodded, indeed, Jiang Sixi's expression was just right, neither too exaggerated nor too depressing, just like Lu Guiping before, just because the expression was too perfect, there was not the slightest flaw, but it became the biggest flaw.

According to Shen He and Jiang Siwei, Cui Ting is so good, who can she offend? A girl like her, not to mention being beautiful, is both popular with the same sex and sought after by the opposite sex, and the possibility of love killing is very small. Although she is a money worshipper, she is not so hated that she wants to kill her. Shi Wei sighed as he spoke.

Qiao Yixia suddenly froze, her brows furrowed. And at this moment, a man appeared in their field of vision with a loud shout, shouting "Jiang Si is worried about you bastard", looking very hysterical, rushing forward and hitting Qiao Yixia fiercely. Shang Lu grabbed Qiao Yixia's shoulders and protected her behind him.

The security personnel stopped the man and pushed him to the ground, the man's tears and snot flew together, and the swear words came out one after another, all pointing at Jiang Siwei.

It wasn't until he spit out the word Cui Ting that Shi Wei stepped forward to help him up and asked, "Young man, do you know Cui Ting?" ”

"Shi team, he is Ding Yuan." Qiao Yixia said lightly.

Ding Yuan, one of Cui Ting's boyfriends, has not been in love with her for a long time. Hearing Qiao Yixia say this, Shi Wei felt familiar, only to blame Cui Ting's social circle for being too many people, which was really indistinguishable.

"He killed Tingting, he must have killed Tingting!" Ding Yuan shouted excitedly.

Shi Wei comforted him: "Don't get excited, in this way, you go back to the bureau with us first, explain everything you know, and we will definitely give Cui Ting justice." ”

There was a hint of hesitation in Ding Yuan's eyes, but he finally nodded. Qiao Yixia naturally wanted to go back with them, but at this time she received a call from Lan Xuewu, who had always been independent, and suddenly called her, presumably because she was in a hurry. What I never expected was that this matter was not only urgent, but also a bad thing.

After rushing to the hospital, looking at her mother lying on the bed with a plaster cast on her legs, Qiao Yixia trotted over, but her mother was very surprised when she saw her, and looked at Lan Xuewu with some reproach: "Xue'er, didn't I tell you, don't tell your sister first, you girl." ”

"Mom." Qiao Yixia sat on the edge of the bed carefully, her face displeased, "Even if you want her to hide it from me, how long can you hide it." I am your daughter, and it is only natural that I will take care of you. You came to see me, why didn't you inform me in advance, Uncle Fu, why didn't you let Uncle Fu drive you? Who knocked you like this? ”

"Alright, alright." Qiao's mother patted the back of Qiao Yixia's hand patiently, "Look at you, your temper is still so impulsive." I was also to blame for this, I was in a hurry to cross the road, ran a red light, and the young man didn't brake, and I was rubbed by the motorcycle. ”

The anger in Qiao Yixia's heart became more and more intense, she knew that her mother had always been gentle, and she definitely didn't want to embarrass others, and it was too late to pursue any faults. She turned her head away, pursed her thin lips, and said nothing. Lan Xuewu saw Qiao Yixia like this, and also reached out and pressed her shoulder, signaling her not to be angry.

Qiao's mother sighed: "I'm just such a daughter as you, Xiao Xia, I miss you." ”

Listening to her mother's words, Qiao Yixia felt guilty in her heart, and felt a burst of sour water, feeling that she was really unfilial as a daughter: "Mom, you think I can sue me, I'll go home to see you." ”

"Xiao Xia, if you really think about me, you miss your father. You don't want to be attached to it anymore. Qiao's mother held Qiao Yixia's hand, trembling slightly, hearing Qiao's mother mention this matter, Lan Xuewu only felt that her eyes were swollen, and she turned her head away, "Your brother, he has already left, and he can't come back." And you, you still have your days to live, you are still so young, Mom is really worried about you. ”

Qiao Yixia let go of her mother's hand, stopped looking at her, got up and said, "Lanlan, you chat with your aunt for a while, and I'll go down and buy some fruit." ”

She understands her mother's words, her parents opposed her going to the police academy, but she insisted on her choice, and after graduation, she lived alone in this homeless city, and rarely had time to go back to reunite with her family. Her mother had told her countless times that she should forget about what had passed, or hide it in her heart, and she couldn't do it. She couldn't attribute Yi Hui's death to an accident, a puzzle to which she would never find an answer.

She stood in the fruit shop, choosing grapefruit for her mother, and her heart was unbearable.

The bell rang, Qiao Yixia looked at the three words on the screen, sorted out the feelings, and connected the phone: "Professor Lu." ”

"Joe, although I have decided to terminate my employment with you, it is really undignified to leave in a hurry without leaving a note."

"If you are determined to drive me away, it matters whether I inform you or not." Qiao Yixia said lightly.

"I said I wanted you to leave my house, but I didn't say you could be away from me when I was working on the case. You promised me yesterday that you would accompany me when you handle the case. ”

Listening to Lu Xihua's obviously domineering but warm words, Qiao Yixia softened her tone: "Not now, I'm in the hospital." ”

"Sick?" Luci asked.

"I'll get back to you when I'm done." Qiao Yixia didn't say anything more, hung up the phone, and continued to pick up fresh fruits for her mother.

In fact, Qiao Yixia knew that since Yihui left, her mother had been very lonely. My father was busy with the company's work, and often didn't come home until midnight, while my mother was alone in the big empty house, watching TV shows that she wasn't interested in. Qiao Yixia handed the peeled grapefruit to her mother's mouth, looked at the white hair of her mother, who had always loved beauty, leaned down and hugged her gently.

"Sister Fairy!" Listening to Lan Xuewu's voice outside the door, Qiao Yixia came back to her senses a little and got up and went outside the ward.

Outside the door, Lan Xuewu pulled the corner of Lu Xifei's clothes with both hands, Lu Xifei was wearing a pair of sunglasses, glanced his head to the side, looked at the white wall proudly, and saw Qiao Yixia come out, Lu Xifei shook his hand away and held up his sunglasses. Qiao Yixia sent Lan Xuewu back to the house, walked to Lu Xifei's side, and didn't say much, but said lightly: "Let's go." ”

It's like an old friend who has known each other for many years, peaceful and warm. The two of them walked in the garden, Lucy took off his sunglasses, and the two beautiful women walked side by side, attracting the attention of many people.

"Don't sue me, you're not feeling well, so come to the hospital to see a doctor." Qiao Yixia looked into the distance and said to the person beside him.

"I'm afraid that your life is in danger, and I will lose a free laborer because of this."

"Since you're here, why don't you go in." In Fang Cai's situation, it should be that Lu Xifei wanted to leave, but happened to be met by Lan Xuewu.

Luci raised his head and said lightly, "Since you are fine, why should I bother." ”

Qiao Yixia smiled slightly, three points more beautiful than the bright yellow flowers blooming on the hillside in early summer, and she changed the topic: "Is there any new progress in Zhao Xiaomu's case?" ”

"For me, if it takes more than a week to solve a case, then even if the real culprit is caught, it can only be described as a failure." Lucy walked on the bluestone slab, the cold wind blowing on her face, but it was not so harsh, "It's a pity that I haven't experienced the word failure in my life so far." ”

With that, Lucy stopped and put his sunglasses back on: "I'm leaving." Since your family is sick, let's spend more time with them. ”

Suddenly, Qiao Yixia grabbed Lu Xifei's hand, who was about to leave, and then gently hugged her from behind: "This is a hug to express gratitude." ”
