On the way home from the law firm, Ling Li walked for almost two hours, until her feet hurt, and then took three subway stops to get home.

In the last few days, if time permits, she has enjoyed walking home.

Rather than the strong air conditioning on a closed subway or bus, she prefers the moist air with the scent of plants and trees after dark.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the breeze is breezy, which is also especially suitable for her to think about many questions.

For example, in which direction Tang Aoxue's case will develop.

Another example is whether there are any signs of man-made existence in the secret room at the time of Officer Zhou's death.

On the day she met Zhong Chengheng, she told Nan Zhiyi that she would no longer check. The case has been pending for eight years, and she has been repeatedly entangled for nine years, and she doesn't want to wait until her family's ten-year sacrifice to still live in pain.

Nan Zhiyi asked her if she was in her heart, and she admitted categorically at the time, and said that since the police would not release the results of the investigation against her father, then there was no need for her to suffer from herself, trapped in a past that was almost impossible to find out.

But in the dead of night, she couldn't convince herself, and she couldn't deceive herself.

She cares a lot about who did it back then, and she also cares about Zhou Qingchun's death, whether it was suicide or not.

Not only her four family members, but also Officer Zhou, who took charge of the case that year.

Just like Boss Zhu said, the matter of five lives is really bigger than the sky.

If nothing happened so easily, she wouldn't have been able to pass her level no matter what.

Therefore, at that time, her so-called letting go and liberation were just excuses for her to persuade Nan Zhiyi not to get involved anymore, she never thought of giving up, even if she was a little shaken under Zhong Chengheng's persuasion, she quickly strengthened her determination to investigate.

This time I decided to go down, she was really the only one, and she could only be alone.

is weak, but has to carry fate forward.

She suddenly understood what kind of mood her sister was in to persevere. For the sake of your family, you can put your own safety and future at risk, this is not the heart of the Virgin and there is no spirit of sacrifice, but if you don't do that, your heart will be uneasy, and your life will not be good.

They're just following the instinctive choices of their hearts.

Ling Li walked slowly on the road, spreading out her palms, and observing her lifeline extending from the tiger's mouth to her wrist by the moonlight and street lamps.

In any case, her lifeline is still long enough, the front is ups and downs, the back end is getting smoother and smoother, and there is nothing broken in the middle, it shouldn't be a big problem.

It's just that you can't bring other people down, especially Nanzhiyi.

Just like when my sister broke off the relationship with Zhu Jinchuan with such a resolute attitude, she now has a calm and self-sustaining industry leader Zhu Dazhi.

And Zhong Chengheng, who was tired of love and hesitated and did not break off, sacrificed her reputation, career, and family, and spent eight years to pay off this love debt, which is not tragic.

There is already a lesson from the past, so she has to control herself.

She is also working hard to practice this, since the unhappy end of that day, Ling Li has begun to abandon Nan Zhiyi's life, and even wonders if she should take the opportunity to move out of 1802.

It's just that these days I'm too busy with work to plan, all kinds of accidents come one after another, plus there is another frosty incident today, she is even more in a hurry, and I'm afraid that I won't have time to find a house for a while.

Therefore, every day in the future, I must tell myself, not only to control my feet, not to run to Nanzhiyi at every turn, but also to control my heart, not to think about him when there is nothing to do, and to find a reason for myself to send him a text message or something every day.

However, without her care, what would Nan Zhiyi be like?

Tian Zhengyan, who has no clothes to eat, is a mess of housework at home, will he finally dry it as an adult, or will he be thrown into the aid station as a social blind stream like a homeless man?

Ling Li shook her head desperately and decided not to think about this question anymore, but unexpectedly shook herself dizzily and stumbled under her feet.

"Sister Pink? Are you okay? ”

She stood firmly, and there was a familiar crisp female voice in her ears.

Ling Li was stunned, blinked her eyes and made sure that the girl standing in front of her was Tao Xing.

After a while, Ling Li came back to her senses and asked her, "Why are you here?" Are you here to wait for Mr. Nan? ”

"No," she smiled and shook her head, "I'm waiting for you, Sister Pink." ”

When the door was opened, Tao Xing consciously changed her slippers, and Ling Li put her bag and poured water for her.

"I'm really sorry, my phone is on silent, I don't know you're waiting for me." Ling Li handed her the water, a little apologetic, "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" ”

"It's okay." Tao Xing took the water that Ling Li poured for her, and smiled a little shyly, "I came over to take Mi Li and Gu Li away, but I don't know where the key went." Mr. Nan hasn't seen two dogs for a few days, and tomorrow he will return to Nanxi from the imperial capital, and he will be over there in the industrial park for a week, so let's take the dogs over first. ”

Ling Li was slightly stunned, only then did she know why she hadn't seen Nan Zhiyi these days.

And when I heard the word Nanxi, I had mixed feelings for a while.

She hurriedly lowered her head to restrain her emotions, then turned around and took out the key to 1801 from the spare key basket in the hallway, and handed it to Tao Xing: "Go ahead." ”

Tao Xing looked grateful and stuck out her tongue: "Fortunately, there is Sister Pink Sister you." ”

Ling Li nodded lightly and didn't say anything more, the string that Nan Zhiyi's life problem had been worried about before was relaxed at this time.

In any case, Nanzhiyi also has an exclusive part-time girl and life assistant Tao Xing, who helps his boss walk the dog, throw out the garbage, and do the housework within his ability without complaint, so as to ensure that Nanzhiyi will not be drowned in the garbage heap.

In fact, she is not so important to him that she is irreplaceable, and many things can be done for others, not because she has to.

So just live your own life, do what you should do, and don't always want to meddle in his life.

But the difficulty is that there are still four words in this world......

A few minutes later, Tao Xing dragged two lively dogs in her hands, came over and gave her the spare key, thanked her and prepared to leave.

Ling Li took the key, bent down and rubbed the plush heads of Mi Li and Guli, and originally wanted to hug the two dogs who were desperately wagging their tails at her, but she was afraid that once she touched their warm and stocky bodies, she would be even more unable to let go.

Standing up ruthlessly, and with a few polite words, she pretended to be casual and asked, "How is it?" Is there a mess over there? ”

Tao Xing shook her head: "Fortunately, thanks to Sister Fan, you clean regularly, except for the dog making a mess and biting toilet paper all over the floor, there is nothing too bad." ”

Ling Li was stunned, almost saying that she hadn't been there at all, but suddenly remembered that there seemed to be so many times that she didn't do anything, and the room opposite was actually quite tidy.

Could it be that Wei Wei's temperament changed greatly for the sake of Nanzhiyi, and he began to wash his hands and make soup?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. For the sake of Nan Zhiyi, Wei Wei can not even want his life, just learn to do housework, what is so difficult?

endured and endured, but she finally couldn't hold back, her eyes were a little wandering: "Isn't Wei Wei here?" If she's here, you won't have to wait that long. ”

"Wei Wei?" A question mark flashed in Tao Xing's eyes, and it took a few seconds to react, saying, "It's the beautiful woman who was black-skinned and caused Mi Li Guli to enter the hospital last time?" She seems to have followed Teacher Nan to the imperial capital, and this time she will return to Nanxi together. ”

Speaking of this, there seemed to be a little displeasure in Tao Xing's eyes.

Ling Li was stunned, and it took a long time to answer one word: "Oh." ”

Hearing that Wei Wei was also going to Nanxi, she didn't know what was going on, but she actually had a feeling that someone had violated the secret base.

Nanxi has too many memories of her, not only related to her family, but also related to Nanzhiyi.

She clenched the frame of the door with her fingers, forcibly holding back the sourness in her heart, but suddenly heard Tao Xing shouting: "Sister Pink, why are you dying of this mint?" ”

Her eyes were in the direction of the balcony next to the kitchen, where there were several small pots of plants, including the mint that Nanzhiyi had given her.

When Ling Li heard this, she hurriedly ran to the balcony.

I saw that the pot of mint, from the leaves to the stem, was listless, and a large section near the top had even withered, hanging limply, and lifeless.

Once because of this pot of mint, Ling Li thought that she and Nan Zhiyi were also fated, and even had the idea of competing with Wei Wei because of this.

Unexpectedly, Nan Zhiyi got angry, stopped caring about her, and took Wei Wei to Nanxi, and Mint was on the verge of death immediately.

I don't know if it's an omen.

Suddenly, tears blurred her vision, Ling Li clenched her palms tightly, lowered her head and was silent.

fate is broken, or is it her illusion.

Tao Xing saw that her face was wrong, and thought that she was worried about mint, so she hurriedly comforted her and said: "It's okay, even if the leaves are gone, as long as there are roots, if the climate is right, it will still start." It's just that these roots can't bask in the sun anymore, I'm afraid that it was because of too much water, the sun here is strong, and it is smoked and roasted, and the mint is not carried. ”

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when the peach apricots were sent away.

Tao Xing has to take her dog to Nanxi at night, three hours away, she can't delay others too much.

Ling Li stood on the balcony and watched with wide eyes as Tao Xing went out of the community with her dog and got into a car parked on the side of the road.

After that, he stood in a daze for a long time, until he was bitten by a few big mosquitoes with flowers and feet that flew several floors every day and finally reached the eighteenth floor, and the itch was so unbearable that he woke up.

She gritted her teeth and ruthlessly cleaned up the pot of mint, which seemed to be dying, and threw the dead branches and leaves into the garbage bag along with the soil.

All that was left on the balcony was an empty pale blue basin.

Ling Li sniffed, held back the sourness gushing out of her heart, and went to take a bath after packing up her mood.

Since it is going to be broken, it should be broken cleanly, dragging mud and water is always harmful to others and herself, not to mention that she is still carrying a * on her back.

The mood calmed down again, and it was already late at night.

She tied her hair and put on her mask, sat down at her desk, and reached for the cabinet on the side of the desk.

There was a pause in the middle, and after a few seconds of struggle, the cabinet was still opened. Then, from the depths of the cabinet, he took out a notebook with a grass green cover and spread it out on the table.

This is all the clues she has combed out about the poisoning case by herself, and all the information she can get has been integrated into several tables and key points with a table of contents. Looking at them one by one is equivalent to going through the whole vein again.

Ling Li held her breath and began to flip through again.
