Chapter 57: Learning the Piano
"I can't walk." Dao Jin looked up at Gu Qi, and there were already some beads of sweat on the tip of his nose.
At this time, it was half past eight, and the three of them walked for nearly an hour, for a ten-year-old girl, she had not stopped walking for so long, and her physical strength had not yet reached the limit, but her feet were already very sore.
Gu Qi squatted down and picked her up, still holding Zeng Xue with his right hand, and continued to walk towards the piano teacher's house, Zeng Xue was only seven years old, a head shorter than Dao Jin, but because her leg muscles were different from humans, she would not feel tired if she walked like this for another day and night.
But she also has her own troubles: "hungry ......"
Gu Qi looked around and didn't find a breakfast shop, so he also picked her up, one in each hand, and began to look around.
…………
Cui Hua and Ding Xin are still following from a distance, the two of them are also tired enough, they can usually stop and go shopping, and they don't feel tired after shopping for a few hours, but today they walked so far in one breath, and their heels hurt faintly.
"He's mutilating children, isn't he? I don't take a break after walking this far. Ding Xin rubbed her feet and said, the teacher's standing skills are very good, but he can't walk.
"The question is why did he walk with the two little girls early in the morning, and where were they going?" Cui Hua's focus is different from Ding Xin's.
"Could it be that you're babysitting?" Ding Xin guessed.
Cui Hua thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not like, the nanny takes care of the children at home, even if she wants to go somewhere, she takes a car, I haven't heard of walking so far, I heard that there is a profession specializing in dog walking, is there a new kind of walking children?" ”
Ding Xin glanced at Cui Hua, unable to understand her way of thinking, decided to ignore it, hid behind the telephone pole and looked at Gu Qi's background, and said to herself: "I can't see through him more and more......"
Cui Hua said: "I'm afraid it's impossible to see through him, it's good to have some understanding." ”
Ding Xin nodded first, and then realized that Cui Hua's words revealed a lot of information, and being able to say this sentence showed that she already knew something about Gu Qi, and with an idea, Ding Xin said to Cui Hua: "Let's form an alliance, right?" ”
"Huh?" Cui Hualeng paused: "What alliance?" ”
"Let's explore Gu Qi's secrets together, you are a policeman, it is more convenient to investigate; I was his homeroom teacher, and he spent most of the day at school, so I could observe for a long time, and we could exchange information. The more Ding Xin thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was feasible, although the last sentence was the original intention of the establishment of this "alliance".
"Hmm...... But if I came to check, there are some things that I can't reveal to you. Although Cui Hua thinks this alliance is good, the information found from the public security intranet cannot be shared with outsiders.
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't think his secret will be in your secret file." Ding Xin hurriedly shook his hand.
Cui Hua nodded: "It's not that you can't ......."
"Teacher Ding." A voice suddenly appeared behind him, interrupting Cui Hua's words.
Ding Xin turned around sharply and saw the classmate in his class, who was also Gu Qi's tablemate-Xia Rong.
"Why are you here?" Ding Xin asked with wide eyes.
Xia Rong raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said: "I go out at 8:20 every Saturday morning, walk 12 minutes to the noodle restaurant in front of me for breakfast, and leave at 42 minutes, and now it is 8:31 am on Saturday, and ...... forward."
She pointed forward, and suddenly saw Gu Qi's back, and changed her words: "It's Gu Qi who walked into that house." ”
Ding Xin and Cui Hua both looked at Xia Rong nervously, only to see that Xia Rong's face was calm, and they didn't feel that their behavior was strange at all.
Patients with Asperger's syndrome are all extremely self-centered people, and Xia Rong is so serious that he can't read other people's expressions, let alone sense that Ding Xin and Cui Hua are stalking Gu Qi.
After she said hello and answered the questions, she was expressionless and ready to go to breakfast, but was pulled by Ding Xin.
"Do you have to go to that house to eat? Can you change it? Ding Xin smiled a little bitterly, she has a certain understanding of Cui Hua, this is a girl who can get full marks in any subject except for Chinese composition, and it is an extremely unique existence anywhere.
"Which one? How long does it take to get there? Is it clean? Is it tasty? Are there any fixed business hours? Will there be any personnel changes in the near future? Xia Rong threw out a series of questions.
"Uh......" Ding Xin knew that Xia Rong didn't want to deliberately embarrass herself, but she couldn't answer any of these questions, and she didn't even know if there were other breakfast shops nearby.
"I'd better go to that house and eat, it's already 8:32." Xia Rong said that he was going to move forward again.
"Don't, we're following Gu Qi, if you go, you'll definitely tell him to see us." In a hurry, Ding Xin told the truth.
"Why should I talk to him?" Xia Rong was very curious.
"That ......" Ding Xin suddenly remembered that Xia Rong didn't care about things that had nothing to do with him at all, so how could he mention them to Gu Qi.
"Do you need me to talk to him? I know. Xia Rong is going forward again.
"Don't tell him!" Ding Xin hurriedly said.
"Oh." Xia Rong took two steps forward, stopped, turned back, frowned, and said, "However, if he talks to me and talks about you, I will tell him." ”
"Uh, can't you just say it?" Ding Xin began to have a headache.
"I'm not good at lying, but I'll do my best." Xia Rong said very seriously.
"Don't, don't, you follow us down, don't eat breakfast today." Ding Xin sighed, beckoned, and let Xia Rong follow her.
"Oh." Xia Rong honestly walked behind Ding Xin and followed closely.
Cui Hua didn't know anything about Xia Rong, he didn't understand what they were talking about at all, and looked at the two of them like aliens.

Su Ling got up at eight o'clock, and after washing, he sat on the sofa until half past eight, picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone.
"Near Chaoyuan Road? I see, long black trench coat? Well...... Two little girls? Where did the little girl come from? Okay, I'll go now. Hanging up the phone, he put on his coat, picked up the digital video camera on the table, and walked out of the house.
This opportunity should not be missed, it is related to the future, and the future is related to everything, when he found out the name of Gao Jianhua, he was so excited that he did not sleep well for several days, Gao Jianhua is the director of the Public Security Prevention and Control Coordination Division of the Provincial Public Security Department, and it is only an inconspicuous small department in the department, mainly responsible for the cooperation between the police department and many other departments such as fire protection, border defense, criminal investigation, economic investigation, traffic management, information and communication, etc.
When there is a fire, it is usually the three departments of fire protection, public security and medical work together to extinguish the fire, maintain order and treat the wounded, such cooperation is very common, but there is no need to worry about the provincial department, but once there is a major incident, such as a serious natural disaster, it is necessary for the provincial department coordination office and the local troops at all levels to jointly arrange disaster relief matters, coordination and cooperation between the troops and various departments is very important, otherwise the scene will definitely be chaotic.
The coordination office cooperates with multiple departments, often holds meetings, Gao Jianhua's connections are among the best in the provincial department, as long as he climbs this high branch, the future is unlimited, the key person to get to know Gao Jianhua is Gao Jin, and the key person to get to know Gao Jin is Gu Qi.
Su Ling is cautious, does not leave any room for trouble, and brings Gu Qi back to the patrol brigade for questioning, although the reason is not pure, but there is no problem with the procedure, others can't catch the handle, this time his plan is to first use a camera to take pictures of Gu Qi's criminal behavior, and then arrest him, and then contact Gao Jin after he is caught, and how to deal with it is also arranged by Gao Jin - anyway, his father can cover it.

Gu Qi bought a bowl of noodles for Dao Jin and Zeng Xue, and when they picked noodles to eat, he ate two bowls by himself, and after the chain and Concubine Zhen's primary color noodles fused, his appetite seemed to be greater.
After eating half a bowl of noodles, Dao Jin regained his vitality, and he didn't need to hug Gu Qi anymore, nor did he take his hand, but walked to Zeng Xue's side and walked side by side with her—although the two had not talked yet.
Children's communication does not need to be through words, with the same stride, taking the same steps, and then throwing up their hands high, after a few steps, they will tacitly understand.
As if playing a game, Dao Jin and Zeng Xue began to walk in an exaggerated posture, stepping on the ground with a "pop" sound, and occasionally looking at each other and "giggling" straight laughs.
"Don't stay more than five meters away from me." Gu Qi followed behind the two little girls, occasionally saying a word or two that was soothing.
The two little girls were very sensible and didn't mess around, Gu Qi really looked like a bodyguard at this time, and he smoked a cigarette with his free hand.
Playing and laughing all the way, the three of them came to the home of the piano teacher, a woman in her forties, wearing glasses, coiling her hair, and revealing the temperament of an artist.
Gu Qi is a conscientious person, he never let Dao Jin leave his sight, when she was learning the piano, he stood at the door of the piano room with the tea that the piano teacher made for him, and watched, not realizing that he had put a lot of pressure on the teacher.
Zeng Xue sat on the folding chair next to her and watched, probably the first time she saw the piano, the wonderful sound of "ding ding dong" attracted her, and she listened attentively to the teacher's lecture, although Dao Jin was no longer a beginner, and what the teacher said was too profound for her.
When Daojin was resting, Zeng Xue was still looking at the black and white keys, and her eyes didn't blink.
"Want to try it?" The piano teacher asked her with a smile.
Zeng Xue looked back at Gu Qi.
"If you want." Gu Qi nodded.
Zeng Xue climbed onto the piano bench with some excitement, stretched out her right index finger, and played the song that Daojin practiced just now, the speed was slower than when Daojin was playing, but she didn't remember a single note.
The piano teacher paused for a moment, and Gu Qi also looked at Zeng Xue unexpectedly, she didn't know how to play the piano, and she couldn't read the score, but this kind of musicality and memory were impressive enough.
She still wanted to play, but was stopped by her piano teacher, who began to teach her what scales were and the proper fingering to play the piano.
