Chapter One Hundred and Eight

Holidays

There was something unusual about the air in the air. Chen Ji noticed that something was wrong, stood up and leaned over to the notebook to look at it, and was immediately stunned - what jumped into his eyes on the screen was indeed a drawing, to be precise, a line drawing that had not yet been colored. Even if the painting is a two-headed Q version of the villain, a pair of big phoenix eyes are still vivid, as long as you have seen a real person, you can easily recognize it at a glance...... The person on the painting is Ling Xiao.

Chen Qi turned his head to look at Ling Xiao for the first time, and saw that she was staring straight at the screen, her face was not as careless as usual, but she was expressionless and couldn't see joy and sorrow.

Chen Ji thought about it, and finally asked her, "Do you know?" ”

Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, and then answered.

Chen Ji took off his gloves, patted Ling Xiao's shoulder, and asked Ling Xiao in a slow voice while signaling that the preliminary examination had been completed and asking his colleagues to transport the body to the funeral home, "Why don't you go?" Today's Christmas Eve, accompany the school to have fun, or spend the holiday with Ye Lin with peace of mind. ”

It's a feeling to watch someone you know, or even a friend, dissected in front of you...... I'm afraid that even after so many years of forensic medicine, it is difficult for him to understand it for a while.

"It doesn't matter." Ling Xiao shook his head, took off his gloves and shoe covers and followed him out of the door and into the funeral home's car.

Forensic dissection has special techniques, after all, Ling Xiao has not undergone special forensic studies, so he did not intervene rashly, just stood quietly aside, watching Chen Qi and his interns carefully and carefully dissect and examine the corpse, and finally carefully stitch it up.

"The heart and blood are not coagulated, there are obvious bleeding and congestion points in the tissues and organs, there is edema and emphysema in the lungs, and the petrous part of the temporal bone is bleeding, and the cause of death is mechanical asphyxiation." Chen Qi said, motioning to the interns on the side to record it, while looking at Ling Xiao, who was always silent on the side, "Looking at the scars, it was suffocated by someone covering his mouth and nose with one hand and pressing his neck with his lower arm with the other." ”

Ling Xiao had no objection, nodded, took off his coat, and wrapped the girl on the dissection table. She was tall herself, and she wore a long coat, which immediately wrapped the girl tightly, leaving only a pair of slender calves bare-exposed.

In fact, she also knew that it was useless, and even ...... is out of order. Chen Ji seemed to want to stop it, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't say anything.

Ling Xiao took a deep look at the dissecting table and turned to leave.

It was still afternoon when I arrived, and it was already completely dark when I left the dissection room. Ling Xiao took off his coat and only wore a shirt and jeans inside, which looked particularly thin in the cold wind of the winter night. When she walked out of the funeral home, she swept her eyes, but her steps paused, and she raised her face slightly, looking at the man who got off the familiar car at the door with some surprise.

"Why do you wear so little? What about coats? Ye Lin walked to her almost in three steps and two steps, and raised his hand to take off his coat to wrap Ling Xiao, but was stopped by Ling Xiao.

"I'm fine, I'm not afraid of the cold." Ling Xiao shook his head, his expression slightly confused, "Why are you here?" ”

"Chen Ji sent me a text message, saying that there is another case temporarily, and he brought you to the funeral home to report to me, the guardian. I happened to have finished my business, so I came to pick you up. Ye Lin saw her stop, knowing that she had internal strength, probably not afraid of the cold, considering the difference between the two in terms of physical qualities, he didn't insist. Just seeing her slender and thinly dressed standing in the cold wind, my heart was still very nervous, and I grabbed her shoulders with one hand, wrapped around her to block the cold wind, and pulled her into the car.

Ling Xiao withdrew her hand and asked him to hold her hand, and it fell into the air all of a sudden.

Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, and shouted at her in a low voice: "Ling Xiao? ”

"Just had a corpse examined." Ling Xiao explained in a low voice.

"Didn't sanitize when you came out?" Ye Lin asked a little unexpectedly, and when he saw that Ling Xiao shook his head, it was obviously completely disinfected, and he immediately let go of his heart, and no matter what Ling Xiao seemed to have to say, he pulled her into the car without saying anything.

The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and it was more than 20 degrees, which made Ye Lin finally no longer have to worry about Ling Xiao wearing too little and getting cold.

Ye Lin closed the car door, and seeing that Ling Xiao didn't know why he kept looking down at his hands, he didn't bother her silently, and leaned over to fasten her seat belt.

He knew that Ling Xiao was in a very bad mood right now—although she never said or rarely said anything, and maybe even said that she would kill without hesitation, but he could clearly feel that every time she encountered a murder, Ling Xiao would be in a bad mood.

Perhaps this is a kind of compassion for the healer, who cherishes every life despite countless deaths.

Ye Lin withdrew his seatbelt-fastened hand and touched the top of Ling Xiao's head.

Ling Xiao finally looked away from his hand and raised his head to look at him, with a rare distress and hesitation on his expression: "You shouldn't have touched these in the first place. ”

There are so many people dying every day in this city, but if it weren't for her, these deaths would have nothing to do with Ye Lin and would not be so close to him.

Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed all of a sudden: "Originally, you would never say such a thing, let alone have such thoughts." ”

Ling Xiao's character has always been willful and reckless, where can he have such thoughts?

Ling Xiao blinked, thought about it, seemed to think that what he said made sense, and hooked his finger at him.

Ye Lin leaned over as he said.

Ling Xiao held his hand, tilted his head and kissed him, squinted his eyes slightly and asked him, "Where are we going?" ”

"Going to dinner, I booked a seat." Ling Xiao didn't mention going home, but asked him where he was going, obviously knowing that their destination was not home - knowing that he couldn't hide anything from her, Ye Lin smiled a little helplessly, sat back in the driver's seat, and took out an apple from the side and stuffed it into Ling Xiao's hand, "Wash it up, you eat a cushion first." ”

Ling Xiao nodded "oh", holding the apple and gnawing on it.

Christmas is a holiday in the West, and according to legend, it is the birth of Christ. It was originally a festival with strong religious overtones, but in China, where Christianity is not prevalent, it is also very popular with young people - in fact, everyone is just looking for a reason to relax and celebrate, regardless of religion, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The streets are full of Christmas trees and Santa Claus decorations, and all the restaurants are full. Ye Lin booked a hotel but missed the parking, and after looking for a long time, he finally found a parking lot with vacant spaces, which was still a long way from the restaurant he had booked. The two didn't pay much attention to it, and walked out of the underground garage unhurriedly, holding hands.

Ling Xiao's thin clothes in a shirt and jeans were particularly eye-catching when she walked down the street, causing passers-by to look back at her incessantly, and then soon looked at Ye Lin who was holding hands with her, and their faces were full of accusations.

Ye Lin could only smile bitterly.

Ling Xiao glanced around a few times and couldn't help frowning.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Ye Lin took her hand, felt that her hand was warmer than his own, and knew that she was indeed not cold, so he immediately let go and didn't care what others thought of him, and shook his head indifferently.

Ling Xiao pulled him into the shopping mall on the side, picked out a coat and put it on himself, and took off the men's coat for the couple to change into for Ye Lin, pulled him to look in the mirror together, looked at it for a while, and took out his wallet with satisfaction and was about to swipe the card to pay the bill.

Ye Lin hurriedly stopped her, but was stopped by Ling Xiao's eyes, and looked at him with a smile: "Christmas gift." ”

Ye Lin glanced at the new coat on his body, and then at the women's coat on Ling Xiao's body, which was obviously a couple of himself, withdrew his hand and shook his head helplessly.

Ling Xiao paid, Ye Lin stuffed the coat he was wearing into a shopping bag, and led Ling Xiao out of the door - this time, there was finally no strange eyes on them. When I took the elevator downstairs, I passed by a bubble tea shop, and seeing that Ling Xiao couldn't help but take a few more looks, Ye Lin simply went to buy her a cup and came back.

When I left the mall, there was a little girl selling flowers on the pedestrian street, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with ordinary appearance, thin clothes but very neat. She doesn't chase you to sell, but when someone looks at her, she smiles sweetly and asks softly, "Buy a flower, right?" "If someone buys it, she will thank her softly; If she didn't buy it, she wouldn't dwell on it, just smiled a little embarrassedly and didn't say more. Perhaps it is easy to be impressed by such a measure, the roses around her have almost been sold, and there are only a few left, and it looks like they will probably be sold out before going home.

Ling Xiao thought about it, bought the few last roses in her hand, and stuffed the hot milk tea she was holding into her hand that she hadn't drunk yet. Seeing that the little girl looked at her with some surprise, she just smiled: "The flowers are very beautiful, it's cold, let's go home early." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the little girl to answer, she had already turned around and walked away without looking back. After walking a few steps, Ling Xiao suddenly reached out and pulled Ye Lin's sleeve. Ye Lin turned his face sideways and looked down at her, and saw Ling Xiao holding a few roses in his hand and handing them to him, looking at himself with a smile:

"For you, do you like it?"

Ye Lin looked at the new clothes on his body, and then at the roses, and suddenly had an illusion of gender inversion, and glanced at her angrily, but in the end he still reached out and took the roses, and asked her a little funny:

"Do you know what it means to give roses?"

"I don't know," Ling Xiao smiled, tilted her head and blinked, looking like an innocent and innocent little girl, but there was a little cunning between her eyebrows, "I want to hear it." ”

Ye Lin opened his mouth to answer, but he choked as if he suddenly realized something, and he was a little speechless in public, and glared at her angrily, "Pretend, you just continue to pretend!" ”

Ling Xiao smiled silently. National boyfriend
