Qiao Yixia stood in place, watching her back fade away and finally disappear from sight, looking up at the pale sky, her eyes were empty. Yi Hui is the same, she disappeared from her vision and her world, but it was imprinted in her heart for the rest of her life, becoming a knot she couldn't untie, and a reason for her to draw the ground as a prison. But she knew very well in her heart that no matter what efforts she made, she would never be able to get back a smile from him.

In the face of Zhou Guoqiang's extreme non-cooperation, the captain of the first team was helpless but had to leave temporarily, the search warrant had not yet been applied, and Zhou Guoqiang's blind avoidance was also reasonable. Lu Xifei returned to the house, and returned to the secret room that belonged to her alone, all kinds of details swirled in her mind, the majestic words fell on the blackboard, and the complex relationship network centered on Zhao Xiaomu gradually formed a clear vein.

After Qiao's mother fell asleep, Qiao Yixia Qian told Lan Xue Wuwan not to tell Qiao's father about this, and immediately rushed back to the bureau to meet Shi Wei and the others. Ding Yuan was about to leave after making a record, but Qiao Yixia stopped him in time.

"Officer, I've already told you all that I know, and even if you ask any more, I don't have anything more to say." Ding Yuan bit his lip tightly when he spoke, as if he was very dissatisfied with Qiao Yixia's obstruction, which was an expression of suppressed anger or resentment in his heart.

"I don't doubt what you mean." Qiao Yixia said to him as calmly as possible, "I just feel sorry for you. ”

Hearing Qiao Yixia say this, Ding Yuan suddenly raised his head, glanced at her, and quickly looked away. Qiao Yixia took him to a hut, called Shang Lu to help him make a cup of tea, turned on the air conditioner, and the warm wind blew the whole house very warm. There were only two people left in the whole room, Qiao Yixia and Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan was a little at a loss, Qiao Yixia let him sit on the sofa in order to make him more relaxed, and he sat on the chair in front of the desk, so that he would not feel oppressed if he was not too close to him.

"I can understand your feelings about losing your lover, I know that although you broke up with Cui Ting, you must always remember her in your heart, for you, her happiness and peace are your greatest happiness."

mentioned Cui Ting, Ding Yuan was a little sentimental: "Tingting is a good girl. It's that I'm not worthy of her. ”

"Cui Ting is indeed a kind girl, I can also see that you are also a good boy, I think, you must have loved each other deeply, what is the reason for a pair of lovers to be separated?" Qiao Yixia kept looking him in the eye.

Ding Yuan shook his head: "No, it's always been my wishful thinking. It's my wishful thinking. ”

Qiao Yixia pursed her lips: "In fact, after Cui Ting was killed, the first suspect we locked up was the chairman of Hongyuan, Jiang Sixi. ”

"That's him!" Ding Yuan slapped the back of the sofa and stood up, his eyes were full of hatred, but there were no tears, "He killed Tingting!" He deserves to die! ”

"So, although we have deep suspicions about him, we suffer from the lack of evidence. He presented evidence of his alibi, Chairman Jiang went on a business trip a few days ago and rushed back at 12 o'clock last night, and Cui Ting, according to the judgment of our forensic doctor, was killed before 12 o'clock, so Jiang Siwei's suspicion was ruled out. Qiao Yixia's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.

Ding Yuan's nostrils instantly enlarged, and his nostrils dilated rapidly. This action is done to make the lungs inhale more of the look. This expression is expressed when a person feels that their psyche is threatened, or when they think something is not right. And his action undoubtedly included Qiao Yixia's eyes.

"It can't be! Tingting: The time of her murder could never have been before twelve o'clock! Since Jiang Siwei came back at twelve o'clock, it is very likely that he rushed to Tingting's house after he came back! ”

Qiao Yixia also got up, walked to his side, sat on the sofa, and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down. Ding Yuan accepted his love and sat down again.

Qiao Yixia crossed her hands and pressed her chin against her: "Let's talk about it, why can't Cui Ting's murder time be before twelve o'clock." ”

Ding Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and touched his nose: "It's Fang Cai, Captain Shi sued me." ”

Qiao Yixia nodded: "That's it." ”

Ding Yuan hugged his head violently, his voice was painful, with a thick cry: "Officer, my head really hurts, my mind is full of pictures of me and Tingting together, I'm really going crazy, please, let me go back, I want to go to Tingting's community to have a look, even if she is no longer there, I must at least feel the traces of her past, I beg you......"

"Yes."

After Ding Yuan left, Qiao Yixia asked Shang Lu to pay close attention to him and follow him. Qiao Yixia returned to the office, Shi Wei straightened his neckline, sat opposite Qiao Yixia, and asked, "How is it, Yixia, what did you find?" I think this Ding Yuan doesn't seem to be that simple. ”

Qiao Yixia took a sip of water and clasped his fingers together. She sat by the window, and the sunlight shining in from the window made her side face look very soft.

"It's just flawed."

Shi Wei nodded, obviously agreeing with Qiao Yixia's words. Shi Wei is the elite of Team 8 and has a strong sense of observation, otherwise he would not be the captain. Shi Wei picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of Tieguanyin, which had been soaked at first: "At the beginning, I asked him to make a record, simply to understand some information, but this guy's appearance was too exaggerated, which made me feel that he didn't just want to get justice for Cui Ting, but wanted to pull Jiang Siwei into the water." ”

"The eyes are the windows to the soul, they don't hide or lie. When a person doesn't admit or tries to lie, his gaze and yours are often less than one-third of the conversation, and from beginning to end, Ding Yuan's direct gaze never adds up to two minutes. He can control his body and keep himself from revealing flaws, but visual flaws are difficult to avoid, his negative feelings are very heavy, and when I mention Cui Ting, he is not looking at me in frustration or anger, but visual evasion, he is afraid. Qiao Yixia's eyes became deeper and deeper.

Shi Wei nodded slightly, waiting for Qiao Yixia's next words.

Ding Yuan said that he is not worthy of Cui Ting, but objectively speaking, his appearance is superior, and his education is not low. It is not easy for such a person to admit that he is not worthy of anyone. Qiao Yixia's gaze was opposite Shi Wei's.

Shi Wei frowned, hugged his shoulders and said, "Except for the lack of money." ”

"Just like what you said in the stone team, when I mentioned Jiang Sixi, he was very emotional, but there were no tears in his eyes, it was obvious that he was not sad about Cui Ting's death, but only out of resentment towards Jiang Sixi. I deliberately moved forward the time of Cui Ting's murder by three hours, and told him that Jiang Siwei got off the plane at 12 o'clock, ruling out the suspicion that Jiang Siwei was killed, but he said that the time when Cui Ting was killed could never have been before 12 o'clock. ”

Shi Wei nodded very knowingly and said, "No one has mentioned to him the time when Cui Ting was killed. ”

In just ten minutes, he almost never stopped shaking his legs, this kind of person is usually more selfish, self-centered in everything, extremely possessive, and they are easy to breed jealousy in love. I deliberately let him sit on the sofa, there is a lot of space, but his body is in a closed state, this is a person's instinctive reaction, successful people, such as Jiang Siwei, he is used to expanding the space occupied by his body, and Ding Yuan is obviously a person with low self-esteem, he is quite far from success. Coupled with the fear in his heart, it was impossible for him to be completely relaxed. ”

Shi Wei got up, picked up the red thermos, and added some water for Qiao Yixia: "So you let him go back and let Shang Lu watch him." ”

Qiao Yixia tilted her head and smiled: "Didn't Captain Shi plan to do the same?" They let Ding Yuan go back, not to eliminate their doubts about him, but to wait for him to reveal more flaws.

Shi Wei smiled heartily and patted her on the shoulder.

This night, after finishing work, Qiao Yixia still went back to Lu's house, the distance was not close, and she was busy, and it was close to eleven o'clock after she went back. There was no one on the first floor, and I wanted to come to Lu Xifei to work in the study again. Qiao Yixia opened the refrigerator, and sure enough, she saw a plate of egg fried rice sealed with plastic wrap, she heated it in the microwave, sat downstairs alone and ate supper, ready to go upstairs to take a hot shower, and go to sleep directly.

When I went upstairs, I happened to run into Luxi blooming down, and the two of them went up and down, one high and one low, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Luci was the first to speak: "You're back." ”

"Hmm."

"Have you eaten?"

Qiao Yixia nodded: "Well, I've already washed the dishes, four times, one more time than you asked." I also dragged the ground again, and the meal was delicious, thank you. In the past, Qiao Yixia felt that the dishes made by her mother and nanny and aunt had reached the peak, but she never thought that Professor Lu, who looked like his fingers were not touching the spring water, could even make an egg fried rice extraordinarily delicious.

"Who allowed you to eat the egg fried rice I made?"

Qiao Yixia raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you make it for me?" ”

"It was a late-night snack for myself." Lucy frowned slightly, her thin lips pursed, "You pay me." ”

"If you can accept my cooking, I'll make another one for you right away." Qiao Yixia hooked her lips and smiled brightly.

"No need, no more." Lu Xifei said and turned around and went upstairs, "I'm going to catch up with the paper today, don't bother me if you're okay." ”

Qiao Yixia shouted to her, she stopped her footsteps, looked back at her, Qiao Yixia went up two flights of stairs, and stood on the same step as her, the stairs were very wide, and the two people standing were not crowded.

Qiao Yixia was in a good mood today, and said righteously: "I robbed Professor Lu of his supper, how can I not compensate for it, but I have no valuables on me, so I can only compensate Professor Lu for a hug." ”

Luci was shocked, hurriedly moved up a staircase, frowned and said to her, "Don't touch me, keep your distance from me." I didn't take a bath, and there was a strong strange smell on my body. ”

Qiao Yixia shrugged disappreciatively: "Then what Professor Yilu said, is he waiting for me to give you a hug after I finish taking a shower?" To be honest, Qiao Yixia doesn't like to get too close to others, people with cleanliness habits know that they can't accept hugs or handshakes, but Luxi is clean and pure like a fairy in fairyland, spotless, so that Qiao Yixia has repeatedly had the idea of taking the initiative to approach.

Seeing that Lu Xifei was silent, Qiao Yixia's eyes lowered, and then looked at her playfully, raised her voice, went up a step, and stared at Lu Xifei's cold side face: "Professor Lu is really beautiful, which makes people feel excited." ”

"If you want to make your so-called true confession at this time and place, then I will send you four words, emotional intelligence is too low."

Being ridiculed by someone with negative emotional intelligence for her low emotional intelligence, Qiao Yixia was suddenly angry, but with a smile on her face, she straightened up and passed by Luci, and walked up: "Actually, I want to say, about me, I want to chase you." Speaking of this, Qiao Yixia froze, turned around, and glanced at Lu Xihua in the lower place casually, "justkidding."

Lu Xifei looked at Qiao Yixia's back who was getting farther and farther away, and the hand holding the escalator tightened her strength, she lowered her head, and there was a little smile in her eyes. She wanted to come down to boil water and take medicine, but somehow, after seeing the man come back, the feeling of tightness in her chest eased a lot, and her throat didn't want to cough anymore.

Back in the room, she sat down in a couture chair, her long hair hanging down to her waist, a long strand of broken hair on her cheeks, and a high nose bridge that made her side look deep and beautiful.

"Qingye, your grandmother's health is fine, right? Well, that's good. I've got you a job with a company that you can report on at any time. ”
