Chapter 8: Professor Tsundere
Lucie's clear, faint voice surrounded the small space, and even a shallow echo could be heard. The woman raised her head and hooked the corners of her mouth, wrinkles lurking in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was so nice that it didn't sound like that of a woman in her forties. She said, "It's me, it's just me." ”
Lu Xifei bowed slightly, noncommittal. Qiao Yixia couldn't see through her intentions, so she could only follow her thoughts.
"I have a strange disease, and I can't control my own thoughts."
Qiao Yixia raised her eyebrows and asked politely, "I take the liberty of asking, your husband?" ”
"I have such an illness and he is gone, I don't blame him, and I don't hate him." The woman's eyes are sincere and emotional. There was not the slightest grievance in the words, but a majestic atmosphere.
"Can I take a look at the rest of your room?" Qiao Yixia gathered his black trench coat and said in the cold air. Even the roof would leak, not to mention the heating or stove in the house, and the windows were closed, but it could be seen that it was not strong because of the age, and the wind blew and made a crashing sound.
Lu Guiping nodded. Qiao Yixia and Lu Xifei got up and went to different rooms, Qiao Yixia went to the bedroom, and Lu Xifei went to the kitchen. Only Lu Guiping didn't move, sitting on the bench, calm.
After a while, Lu Xifei came out of the kitchen and walked to the bedroom, and she walked to Qiao Yixia's side with her shoulders crossed. One side of the bed in the bedroom was tightly pressed against the wall, and Qiao Yixia's eyes were glued to that wall at the moment. Qiao Yixia glanced at Lu Xifei beside him and said, "Professor Lu, let's go out." ”
Lu Guiping was drinking water from a glass, not nervous at all, as if Qiao Yixia and Lu Xifei were guests.
"Ms. Lu, did you have a good relationship with your husband?" Qiao Yixia asked.
"If it's good, even if I drive him away, he won't leave."
"In other words, the relationship between the two of you has a rift a long time ago." Qiao Yixia said unhurriedly.
Lu Guiping nodded: "There are other women outside him, and he often doesn't return all night." He hadn't been home for more than a month. She spoke calmly and comfortably, as if she were telling someone else's story.
"But just now I heard from the villagers that I just met you and your husband not long ago, and they seem to be very affectionate with you." Qiao Yixia was telling a lie, the middle-aged woman didn't mention this at all, the reason why she said this was just to see Lu Guiping's reaction.
Lu Guiping's reaction was unexpectedly calm, she was completely different from ordinary village women, she had a detached calmness on her body, as if nothing could disturb her, but it was this calmness that made her behavior seem even more suspicious. I saw her smile lightly, put the glass down, picked up the nail clippers and cut her fingernails: "Officer, there is a saying that family ugliness should not be publicized, you must have heard of it." The implication is that no matter how fierce the two of us are in private, we must look like glue in front of outsiders.
It seems that there is really something wrong with Lu Guiping's husband.
"Ms. Lu, can I borrow your ring and take a look?" Luci said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Guifen, who had been calm all along, shook his hand and almost cut the meat, but quickly regained Fang Cai's composure: "What kind of ring, there is no such thing at all, his poor ghost, where can he afford a ring." ”
"Oh, then I would venture to ask, whose ring is hidden in the kitchen?"
"What!" Lu Guiping stood up suddenly, her chest rose and fell quickly, and her voice raised a lot, "How can you rummage through other people's things, how did you find them!" ”
Lu Xihua had a cold face and met Lu Guiping's fierce gaze: "Please cooperate with our work and take out the ring." ”
Lu Guiping clenched her fists, knowing that she was calculated by Lu Xifei, she didn't find her ring at all, but in this way, she couldn't escape. She frowned and sighed, as if in annoyance, and said, "You guys wait." Then he went to the kitchen.
Qiao Yixia and Lu Xifei sat on the sofa, Qiao Yixia nuzzled her nose, this room was not only cold, but also gloomy, which froze Qiao Yixia so much that she couldn't help but shiver. She asked Lu Xiyu softly, "How do you know she has a ring?" In fact, as Lu Guiping said, their family is almost a family with four walls, and she really couldn't imagine that her husband would be generous enough to buy her a ring, after all, in their time, buying a ring also required a lot of money.
"Her hands are black and rough, but there is a very white ring on the ring finger of her right hand."
In other words, she wears the ring all year round, deliberately takes it off when she goes to the garbage and now just to deal with them. Qiao Yixia then continued to ask, "Then how do you know that she will hide in the kitchen?" "If Luci was wrong at that time, it would have been self-defeating.
"Guess."
"Guess?" Qiao Yixia couldn't believe it, she would hear the two words guessed from Lu Xifei's mouth.
Lucy lowered her voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "She is a very cautious person, and she will never hide the ring in the bedroom, which is the easiest place to be found, and she can know that she cares about it by wearing it all year round, and it is impossible to hide it in a dirty place like the toilet." "This is so small, except for a bedroom, a toilet, and a living room that is not a living room, only the kitchen remains," and, most likely, she hid it in a bowl. "Lu Guiping is very smart, she would not have imagined that the police would definitely search her home when they came.
"In a bowl?"
"The bowls and bowls will be stacked together when they are washed, and I guess the ring must be in the gap between the two bowls."
"Did you just look for it?"
"Nope."
Qiao Yixia was slightly helpless: "Since you already have a guess, why don't you verify it?" ”
"The ring is a personal item and I can't go through it without her permission. This is the moral bottom line. Lucy looked ahead, her eyelashes trembling. Glamorous and arrogant.
Qiao Yixia wanted to roll her eyes widely, and wanted to say that you are already an expert in the bureau, and turning things over is a work need, and there are no moral issues involved. But sitting here was really freezing, and the biting cold air made Qiao Yixia reluctant to say a word.
Lu Guiping had been in for three minutes, and she only heard the sound of ping-pong, but she didn't come out for a long time, so Qiao Yixia had to wait patiently. But I saw that Lu Xifei was taking off his coat, the long trench coat was a new Narcisuez autumn and winter style, Qiao Yixia had seen it in fashion magazines before, and I didn't think it looked good at the time, but when I wore it on Lu Xifei's body, it showed the delicacy of this dress more than wearing it on those models.
Before she could react to why she took off her clothes in such a cold room, the long trench coat with a hint of warmth had been put into her arms, she looked at Lu Xifei with some puzzlement, Lu Xifei didn't look at her, just brushed her hair behind her ears again, and said a little gently: "I'm hot." ”
"Hot?" Qiao Yixia felt so cold that she was about to be frozen into an ice sculpture, and she actually said that it was hot.
"When people are running, they will have a sense of pleasure by habit, so as to secrete endorphins, and when they eat spicy, their senses are stimulated and endorphins are produced. And when I think about the case, I feel the same feeling as running and eating spicy food, and I get excited easily. Lucie's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was an indescribable playfulness and cuteness from Qiao Yixia's point of view.
"Then I'll hold it for you, and I'll wear it when you're cold."
"You wear it first."
Qiao Yixia's eyes widened slightly, looking at her in disbelief. Lucy Fei, a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder plus cleanliness and a black belly, would allow others to wear her clothes?
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't say you don't need to wash."
