Qiao Yixia came back to her senses and helped her open the car door, and after getting into the car, Qiao Yixia realized the change in Lu Xifei's name for herself, although she didn't want to talk more, she still couldn't hold back her curiosity and said, "Professor Lu, just call me Qiao." ”

"Hmm." Luci leaned on her back and closed her eyes gently, "Three words, too long." ”

Qiao Yixia secretly slandered to herself, isn't your own name also three words, and you also dislike other people's names. It wasn't until she was holding the steering wheel that she realized that Luci hadn't said where they were going. As soon as she opened her mouth, she heard Lu Xifei say: "Ginkgo Village, Fukou Town." ”

The distance from here to Ginkgo Village is not close, and it takes about 40 minutes by car. The melodious violin music in the car was still the same melodious violin song, but Qiao Yixia felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably a little depressing. For some reason, she was originally silent, but after meeting Luci, she seemed to be stimulated by a lot of active cells, and she had many, many questions to ask her. She wants to solve the riddle of this woman.

"Professor Lu, you just said that you came to the bureau to watch the video to verify your ideas." Qiao Yixia asked tentatively.

"Hmm."

"So what about the results of the verification."

"I was right." Lu Xi's eyes were still lightly closed, and she looked quiet and elegant.

The doubts in Qiao Yixia's heart intensified: "Is it convenient to tell me what I think?" ”

"Her heel is indeed 3.5 centimeters."

Lu Xifei's answer made her a little confused, she was still talking about the case, why did the question suddenly shift to the heel, whether it was her own thinking that was too slow, or Lu Xifei's world was difficult to understand: "Heel? ”

"I don't remember if her heel was three centimeters or three .5 centimeters."

"......" Qiao Yixia deeply realized what it meant to be speechless. She also thought that Lu Xifei came to the bureau to verify something, after all, with Lu Xifei's self-confidence, it was impossible to have any doubts about her case analysis. Unexpectedly, it was just to verify the height of the heel, no wonder she kept staring at the surveillance video.

Although Qiao Yixia was a little incomprehensible to Lu Xifei's behavior, she had the idea of ridiculing her, and said slowly: "Doesn't Professor Lu have the ability to never forget?" I remember someone telling me not long ago that she had a good memory and could write down all the details at a glance. ”

Lu Xifei didn't speak, but slowly opened her eyes, she looked at the back of Qiao Yixia's head, and seemed to have felt the slightly raised arc of the corners of Qiao Yixia's mouth. It's a woman who holds a grudge and returned this sentence so quickly.

After waiting for a long time, before Lu Xifei could speak, Qiao Yixia thought to herself that she wouldn't be angry because of her boring ridicule, if so, it would be too small-bellied.

"Why didn't Professor Lu speak?"

"There is nothing to say."

"Professor Lu, I'm joking with you. As long as it's human, there will be mistakes, and it's not a big deal. ”

Lucifer raised the decibel level of his voice slightly: "That's for ordinary people. ”

Qiao Yixia couldn't help but roll her eyes, she had seen all kinds of people, but she had never seen someone like Lucy who had to integrate self-absorption into all aspects of her life.

"Joe, maybe you should be honored for that."

"Huh?"

"You learned of the only mistake in my life."

For some reason, hearing Lu Xifei's words, Qiao Yixia didn't feel bored or annoyed, but felt that she was a little cute. This may seem narcissistic to others, but from a psychological point of view, Professor Lu is embarrassed.

Qiao Yixia couldn't help but laugh lightly, letting out an imperceptible laugh.

"Officer Joe, please respect me."

Qiao Yixia couldn't help but secretly slander herself, sure enough, she was a woman with a small belly, she had just defeated her with an "illusion", and she returned what she had said. It's really a woman with a black belly, but in the black belly, there is a little bit, a little cuteness.

Qiao Yixia couldn't help but secretly slander herself, sure enough, she was a woman with a small belly, she had just defeated her with an "illusion", and she returned what she had said. It's really a woman with a black belly, but in the black belly, there is a little bit, a little cuteness.

Ginkgo Village is located in a remote area and the road section is rugged, but fortunately, Luxi Bloom's Cadillac has a very good performance and avoids bumps along the way. Lucy still doesn't talk much, Qiao Yixia is not a talker, and the music in the car has become the only sound to relieve embarrassment in this closed space. Qiao Yixia stopped the car at the head of the village, and then got out of the car to open the door for Lu Xifei.

The weather seems to be a little colder. Qiao Yixia felt a sour tip of her nose, as if she was stimulated by this strong cold air, thinking that Lu Xifei should also be cold, but because of that cold character, it was impossible to see the excess love on her face.

Qiao Yixia followed behind Lu Xifei and walked forward with her, and on the way, she met some villagers who were carrying bamboo baskets and speaking in their hometowns, and threw surprised or puzzled glances at the two of them. The village is full of men and women who look quite simple, although Lu Xifei and Qiao Yixia's dress is not ostentatious, but in their opinion, it is not low-key, plus both of them have unusually beautiful faces, which naturally attracts a lot of attention.

"Professor Lu, how did you know about this place? Have you been here yesterday? "Since Lu Xifei had already seen the woman who appeared in the surveillance yesterday and behaved strangely in the park, it stands to reason that if you want to find further clues, you will definitely follow her to the place where she lives.

"Qingye has been here."

It turns out that Qing Ye is not only her nanny, but also her assistant, and it is common sense to think about it carefully, like Lu Xifei, who has an innate nobility, must be reluctant to do things like stalking others in person.

In fact, the standard of living in the countryside has leapt forward rapidly compared with a few decades ago, but it still looks a little older than the city, and the most obsolete and barren one is probably the family in front of you. Lucy stopped in front of a wooden door with a faded portrait of the door god, and Qiao Yixia knew that the woman must have lived here.

Qiao Yixia stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one responded, wondering if there was no one at home, and when he was about to stop, Lu Xifei said, "Keep knocking." ”

After knocking for about a minute, a middle-aged woman wearing a big red headscarf who looked a little bloated and wore a big red headscarf approached the two of them and said in non-standard Mandarin: "Or is no one a soldier?" Last night, I was thinking about calling the two of them to go to my house to play cards, and I didn't see anyone open the door after knocking for a long time, which was really strange. ”

"You mean the family hasn't been there since last night?" Qiao Yixia asked.

The middle-aged woman nodded: "It's not, I don't know where I went, I still wonder if I thought I was here to collect debts so I didn't dare to open the door for me, but today it still won't open, maybe it's really no one, but girl, what are you two here for?" Don't you look like people from our village? Could it be that you two are also here to collect debts? ”

Qiao Yixia frowned and said, "Do their families often borrow money from others?" ”

"Hey, let me tell you this, almost all of the people in these ten miles and eight villages have lent money to the old Lu family, and they are very poor, plus this old Lu daughter-in-law has this strange disease again, so that we don't dare to care about them anymore to collect debts, this is not a retreat, it's bad! Girl, I won't tell you both, I'm still in a hurry to work in the fields! ”

The middle-aged woman smiled widely, and then waved her hand at another woman of a similar age not far away and shouted Let's go, from her talkative personality, it can be seen that she is the kind of loudspeaker character that must be in every TV series, there is nothing bad about it, but she loves gossip and loves to talk about right and wrong. However, the most important feature is that the words of such people are usually extremely reliable.

Qiao Yixia glanced at Lu Xihua, her eyes were still like a lake, and she couldn't see through any love. Qiao Yixia raised her hand and was about to continue knocking on the door, but Lu Xifei raised her hand to stop her, and then knocked three times on the dirty old wooden door: "Don't you really want to see him?" ”

"Him?" Qiao Yixia looked at Lu Xifei again, trying to get an answer.

But what they were waiting for was not Luci's answer, but the door that was finally opened, and the middle-aged woman who appeared in front of them with blond hair, a sallow complexion, and crow's feet at the corners of her eyes that could not be ignored. She seemed to be about the same age as the talkative woman just now, but she had a unique temperament in her, maybe bookish, maybe a touch of tenderness, in short, although she was not too beautiful, but she had the magic of attraction.

"You guys." The woman glanced at them and quickly looked away, then tried to close the door again.

Qiao Yixia stopped her: "Since you're at home, don't you invite us in and sit?" Then he took out his ID from his pocket and presented it to the woman.

Half a year ago, Qiao Yixia and Shi Wei went to the poor mountainous area to do an investigation, and half a year later, they stepped into this dilapidated and even moldy house, and pulled Qiao Yixia's thoughts back to half a year ago. The brick house tells of the poverty of the family, and looking at the roof with a small hole in it, she wonders if a mouse will suddenly come to her feet.

Except for the slight nervousness when she opened the door, the woman was calm at this time, and unhurriedly helped Qiao Yixia and Lu Xifei pour boiled water to drink. Judging from the surveillance video, the woman wrapped herself tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes, but it was enough, looking at the woman's heart-stopping and slightly vicissitudes and lonely eyes, as well as the golden hair that didn't look supple, Qiao Yixia could be sure that it was her.

"Ms. Lu."
