Chapter 39: The First Look

In the hospital ward, the unconscious Ying Xi was lying on the hospital bed with a hanging bottle in her hand, and a kind female doctor was doing further examination for Ying Xi.

Liu Rushuang and Lu Hehuan looked at the doctor, and Bai Yulou stood beside him tremblingly.

"Doctor, is there anything wrong with him?" Liu Rushuang asked worriedly.

The doctor frowned slightly, "I suggest that he stay in the hospital for observation and then do a systematic examination." ”

"Is it serious?" Lu Hehuan couldn't help but ask.

"Because there is no systematic examination, there is no way to determine the extent of the disease."

Seeing this, Liu Rushuang glanced at Ying Xi on the hospital bed, "Then let him be hospitalized, and I'll pay the hospitalization fee." ”

While a few people were talking, Ying Xi's fingers moved, and he woke up. He scolded Liu Rushuang weakly, "My business, when will it be your turn to decide, doctor, I just had a little stomach pain, ** sick, no need to be hospitalized." ”

The doctor on the side frowned and refuted Ying Xi, "You are not a stomach disease, it is a liver disease, and an excessive dose of Kuding tea happened to cause the condition, and you can't drink more of this tea in the future, otherwise it may be life-threatening." ”

Ying Xi smiled disapprehantly, "My liver is fine, it's a stomach problem, ** sick." ”

Everyone was puzzled.

"But ......"

"Doctor, my own body knows by itself, thank you." Ying Xi interrupted the doctor and smiled reluctantly.

The doctor stopped talking.

Seeing that Ying Xi had regained consciousness, Liu Rushuang leaned forward curiously, "Brother Xi, why do you still drink Kuding tea when you know that you have stomach problems?" ”

Ying Xi didn't speak, looked at Bai Yulou on the side, and gritted his teeth.

"Sister Shuang, I made a bowl of Kuding tea for Inspector Ying to drink." Bai Yulou cried weakly.

"Why do you want to hurt Brother Xi?" Liu Rushuang stared at Bai Yulou angrily.

Bai Yulou lowered his head, "I just wanted to make a joke with Inspector Ying, I didn't expect it to be like this......"

Liu Rushuang was angry and vigorously grabbed Bai Yulou's ears, "Deduct your salary for half a year to buy supplements for Brother Xi!" ”

Bai Yulou cried with a sad face, looking like he had nothing to love.

Liu Rushuang turned her head to Ying Xi's bed, and smiled heapedly, "Brother Xi, since I hurt you for nothing, I am also responsible, I will take care of you!" ”

Ying Xi frowned in disgust, "Without you, being noisy all day long is not conducive to recovery." ”

"Inspector Ying, let's let Officer Lu take care of you, after all, it's more convenient for men to take care of men." Bai Yulou took the opportunity to interject.

Ying Xi didn't speak, which was considered acquiescence.

"Okay, I'll stay and take care of Inspector Ying, you guys go back first." Lu Hehuan saw that Ying Xi's body was weak, so he boldly agreed.

"Brother Xi, then you take care of your illness, let's go first." Liu Rushuang reluctantly said goodbye to Ying Xi.

Ying Xi waved his hand impatiently, "Walk quickly, out of sight and out of mind." ”

Liu Rushuang pouted and left with Bai Yulou.

Only Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi were left in the ward. Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi, "Inspector Ying, if you need anything, just tell me." ”

"Okay." Ying Xi smiled slyly, "I want to drink water." ”

Lu Hehuan came over with a glass of water, Ying Xi got up and took a sip, and Lu Hehuan drank the remaining water.

"Lu Hehuan, I'm hungry."

Lu Hehuan helped Ying Xi sit up, fed Ying Xi to eat, and Lu Hehuan ate the leftovers.

"Lu Hehuan, I want to eat apples."

Lu Hehuan helped Ying Xi peel apples, fed Ying Xi to eat apples, and Lu Hehuan ate the remaining apple cores.

"Lu Hehuan, I want to eat ......"

"Inspector Ying, you eat and drink all the time, your stomach can't stand it, right?" Lu Hehuan finally got impatient.

Ying Xi thought for a while, "That's right, you help me get out of bed and walk." ”

Lu Hehuan wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead and went to help Yingxi.

At this time, Bao Kang came to visit Ying Xi with Ah Hua and a basket of eggs.

"Director Bao, why are you here?" Ying Xi smiled, but he didn't expect Bao Kang to visit him in person.

"I heard you're sick, I'll come to see you." Bao Kang put the eggs on the table, "These eggs are for you, nourish your body." ”

"Thank you, Director Bao, thank you." Ying Xi was moved.

Bao Kang looked at Ying Xi and smiled comfortably, "It seems that it is all right, since it is okay, we must investigate the case of Dabao's death as soon as possible, recently I have a little misunderstanding with the Chief Inspector, our police station must solve the case as soon as possible, I have the capital to report to the Chief Inspector, by the way." ”

"But Inspector Ying's body is ......," Lu Hehuan was afraid that Ying Xi's old illness would recur.

Ying Xi interrupted Lu Hehuan and looked at Bao Kang flatteringly, "I'm fine, I'll be discharged from the hospital early tomorrow morning." ”

"Inspector Ying never let me down." Bao Kang smiled with satisfaction and left with Ah Hua in his arms.

The weather turned hot, and Lu Xiang and Lin Zhi moved the tables and chairs to the courtyard for dinner. There are a few green bamboos planted in the small courtyard, and under the bamboo forest are a wisp of spring leeks and sparse flowers and plants, exuding the leisure and elegance of the courtyard owner.

"That Bao Kang is a villain, if it weren't for him, He Huan would definitely be able to win the 'crime-solving star' of the headquarters!" Lu Xiang complained angrily to Lin Zhi.

"Forget it, my son may not like to be this 'crime-solving star'." Lin Zhi didn't care.

Lu Xiang glanced at Lin Zhi irritably, and puffed out his cheeks angrily, "What do you know?" Woman's view! ”

Lin Zhi knocked on the bowl with chopsticks and looked at Lu Xiang angrily, "If you're not hungry, roll me off the table, otherwise you will eat honestly." ”

Lu Xiang didn't dare to speak anymore and continued to eat honestly.

At night, the hospital was exceptionally quiet, and Ying Xi was lying on the bed, looking out the window. Lu Hehuan sat on the chair next to the bed, seemingly a little sleepy.

"Inspector Ying, you don't have any other needs, do you?" Lu Hehuan grimaced.

"I didn't think of it yet."

"Then I'll go to sleep first."

"Well, I'll call you anytime you have something."

Lu Hehuan nodded helplessly, lying on the hospital bed and preparing to sleep. Ying Xi saw that Lu Hehuan was really uncomfortable lying on his stomach, and moved to the side of the bed, "For the sake of you taking care of me for a day, come up." ”

"You're going to let me sleep in the same bed with you?" Lu Hehuan's eyes widened.

"It's not like I haven't slept before, don't you sleep in a bed every day in the dormitory?"

Lu Hehuan thought for a while, "That's right." ”

Lu Hehuan lay next to Ying Xi and fell asleep after a while.

Ying Xi closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Liu Rushuang came to the ward with flowers and Bai Yulou, and the two walked in only to find that the ward was empty, and a nurse was making Ying Xi's bed.

"Miss Nurse, where is Mr. Ying in this bed?" Liu Rushuang asked, pointing to Ying Xi's hospital bed.

"I've been discharged from the hospital."

"Discharged?"

"I'll leave just after dawn."

"Brother Xi, why are you in such a hurry to be discharged from the hospital?" Liu Rushuang looked worried.

Bai Yulou stretched out his orchid finger and scratched it in the air, "It's okay to be discharged from the hospital!" I'll just say, can a cup of Kuding tea still kill him? ”

Liu Rushuang raised her face and glared at Bai Yulou coldly, "Let's go!" ”

"Sister Shuang, where are we going?" Bai Yulou asked happily.

"Go to the teahouse, I invite you to drink extra strong Kuding tea to see if I can kill you."

Bai Yulou understood, and hurriedly pleaded with a bitter face, "Sister Shuang, please......"

Liu Rushuang glared at Bai Yulou fiercely, "Let's go to the river and have a look, Brother Xi and Lu Hehuan may go to the scene of the crime." ”

The warm sun shone on the calm Suzhou Creek, and Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi came to the crime scene by the Suzhou Creek.

Lu Hehuan looked at the river and frowned slightly, "There are too few clues now, I think we need to search the car more carefully, and now the car is not convenient to investigate in the water." ”

"What do you mean?" Ying was puzzled.

"Scoop up the car."

Ying Xi coughed violently and stared at Lu Hehuan incredulously, "You're not mistaken!" How do you fish a car that weighs so much? ”

"I have a way. As long as you find a good angle to set up the pulley, you can use the lever principle to salvage the car, but you still need two people to help. ”

While the two were talking, Liu Rushuang and Bai Yulou walked over from a distance.

"Brother Xi, it turns out that you are really here!" Liu Rushuang shouted excitedly at Ying Xi.

Ying Xi looked at Liu Rushuang and smiled proudly, "Two people have sent them to the door." ”

After a while, Liu Rushuang and Bai Yulou set up a pulley group by the river under the command of Lu Hehuan, Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan tied the rope to the car in the river, and then returned to the shore, and the four of them pulled the rope together, and finally pulled the car ashore.

Lu Hehuan opened the door of the car, and the water inside poured out. After the water in the car was clean, Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi carefully inspected the interior of the car.

"There's a hole here." Lu Hehuan pointed to the leather seat of the co-pilot in the car.

Ying Xi looked in the direction He Huan pointed to, and pouted disapprerovingly, "What's so strange about the cave." ”

Lu Hehuan stared at the small hole and suddenly realized something, "This is a very important clue." ”

Lu Hehuan looked at the small hole in the co-pilot's seat, and he remembered that Li Yingying had told him that Dabao cherished this car very much and had to scrub and maintain it himself every day. It stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a small hole in Dabao's car, unless it was left when Dabao died.

After being stunned for a while, Lu Hehuan came back to his senses and looked at Ying Xi, "Are there tweezers?" ”

"Nope." Ying Xi shook his head and looked at Liu Rushuang beside him, "What about you?" ”

Liu Rushuang shook her head and hugged her arms disdainfully, "Who will carry tweezers with them?" ”

Bai Yulou on the side nodded shyly, "I have." ”

Liu Rushuang stared at Bai Yulou incredulously.

"Wouldn't it? Tweezers are both? Liu Rushuang didn't expect that Bai Yulou not only looked like a woman, but even had a woman's feminine temperament in her bones.

"It's a tool for trimming eyebrows." Bai Yulou took out a small tweezer from his arms, raised his orchid finger and brushed his eyebrows, and explained slowly.

"Eyebrow trimming with tweezers?" Liu Rushuang stared at the tweezers, looking ignorant, "How to fix it?" ”

Bai Yulou immediately came to his senses, took the tweezers, and gestured while proudly explaining, "Like this, how about plucking off the extra eyebrows and leaving a good-looking eyebrow shape?" Here's what I invented. ”

"That's a good idea, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Liu Rushuang and Bai Yulou began to digress.

Ying Xi saw that the two were chatting hotly, and frowned, "If you two don't take it seriously, I'll clear the scene." ”

Liu Rushuang immediately stopped her mouth when she heard this, and stuck out her tongue mischievously. Bai Yulou pouted unhappily, he was finally able to say a few more words to Liu Rushuang, but he didn't expect to be disrupted by Ying Xi.

Ying Xi unceremoniously snatched the tweezers from Bai Yulou's hand and handed them to Lu Hehuan.

Lu Hehuan put the tweezers into the small hole in the passenger seat, looking for something inside. In a moment, a white fragment was extracted from the small hole, and he brought it to everyone, "Look at it, what is this?" ”

Ying Xi looked at it casually, "A piece of plastic, nothing special." ”

"What could it have fallen on?" Lu Hehuan was puzzled.

Liu Rushuang walked closer, looked at it seriously, and clapped her hands excitedly, "I know, it must have fallen from the hairpin." ”

"Who wears a white hairpin on their head? Mourning! Ying Xi angrily refuted Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang was choked and speechless, and Bai Yulou on the side seemed to guess something, covering his mouth and snickering.

"What are you laughing at? You know? Liu Rushuang asked Bai Yulou angrily.

Bai Yulou nodded, leaned closer, and pointed to the white shard, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the splinter on the heel of the high heel." ”

"yes, I didn't think of that." Liu Rushuang suddenly realized.

"Heel shards?" Lu Hehuan lowered his head and fell into thought, he seemed to see a picture: in the gray night, in the car immersed in the Suzhou Creek, the feet of a woman wearing white high heels stepped on the co-pilot's seat in a panic, and the thin heel stepped out of the leather seat a hole. The heel was jammed, and the woman pulled it out with all his might, and a piece of splinter was missing from the heel.

Lu Hehuan held the fragments, seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be talking to everyone, "Li Yingying said that Dabao cherishes this car very much, and personally wipes and maintains it every day...... Then there shouldn't be a hole in the seat before the accident......"

"Isn't it just a hole, what's the fuss, maybe it was left by Dabao when he was fooling around with the woman in the car." Ying Xi was unimpressed.

Lu Hehuan shook his head and looked serious, "I think this hole is likely to be caused on the day of the crime, and it is even very likely that it was ...... at the time of the crime."

"If it was caused at the time of the crime, then this heel fragment may be the murderer's?" Liu Rushuang took over the conversation.

Lu Hehuan nodded.

"Sister Shuang is really smart about ice and snow." Bai Yulou took the opportunity to pat himself on the back.

Liu Rushuang smiled proudly.

Lu Hehuan stared at the fragment in his hand with a firm gaze, "The heel fragment is likely to be left by the murderer." ”

"I think if you had focused on solving the case by focusing on the research of women's shoes, we would have been promoted and raised to become celebrities in front of the Inspector General." Ying Xi saw Lu Hehuan's intoxicated appearance, and couldn't help but sneer.

Lu Hehuan didn't care, frowning and pondering, he always felt that this small fragment was the key clue to solve the case, but the huge old gate, where to find the owner of the high heels? Lu Hehuan ran out of ideas for a while.

Early in the morning, Zhu Wolong came to the police station to harass Bao Ying, but Bao Ying was still as indifferent as ever, so he had to come to Bao Kang's office. At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and complaining to Bao Kang, who was sitting opposite him.

"Director Bao, I am infatuated with Miss Bao, but Miss Bao has always been lukewarm to me."

"Xiao Ying is a more introverted girl, she is not very good at expressing her inner emotions, and she may need Boss Zhu to take the initiative." Bao Kang smiled and comforted Zhu Wolong.

"But I've taken the initiative, I send her flowers almost every day, but every time she transfers them to the corpse." Zhu Wolong sighed depressedly.

"Actually, Xiao Ying doesn't like flowers very much."

"And I'll give her jewelry?" Zhu Wolong turned his inquiring gaze to Bao Kang.

"Actually, what most girls like, Xiao Ying doesn't like very much." Bao Kang had a difficult look on his face.

Zhu Wolong was immediately deflated, "You said she likes books, but I gave her a book before, and she looked very angry." ”

"Oh?" Bao Kang was puzzled, "I don't know what book Boss Zhu sent?" ”

""Golden Vase Plum" is a good book recommended by many of my friends." Zhu Wolong unknowingly showed off to Bao Kang.

"Xiao ......" Bao Kang coughed awkwardly and said euphemistically, "Xiao Ying doesn't like that kind of book very much. ”

"Really? So what kind of books does she like? Zhu Wolong asked inexplicably.

"Well...... Bao Kang thought for a while and said embarrassedly, "Well, in fact, I don't usually read any books, and I really don't know what advice to give you......"

"Alas, Miss Bao is different from ordinary girls, so I don't even know how to start......" Zhu Wolong realized that he used the wrong words, and hurriedly changed his words, "I don't know how to pursue." ”

Bao Kang smiled unhesitantly, "Xiao Ying definitely won't be the same as those girls outside." ”

"Director Bao, what do you think I should do now?" Zhu Wolong had a bitter face, looking pitiful.

Bao Kang thought for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Yes, Boss Zhu, Xiao Ying has always liked talented people, why don't you write a love poem to her, maybe you can impress her?" ”

"Writing poetry?" Zhu Wolong twisted his body in embarrassment, as if his face was covered with a red cloth.

Bao Kang nodded expectantly.

Zhu Wolong saw that there was no other better way, so he had to bite the bullet and grit his teeth, "Okay! Just write a love poem! Let me think about it......" He stood up and paced up and down the room, scratching his ears and cheeks in deep thought.

Bao Kang's eyes followed Zhu Wolong back and forth, looking expectant.

After a while, Zhu Wolong stopped suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Think about it!" ”

"Tell me about it." Bao Kang listened attentively.

Zhu Wolong put his hands behind his back and began to chant, "If you are a dog, then I am a piece of, although I smell very stinky and smelly, but you will miss me from time to time, especially when you see me, you can't wait to eat me, because ...... Dogs can't change eating! ”

Bao Kang opened his mouth wide in shock, even a layman didn't expect Zhu Wolong to be so vulgar.

Zhu Wolong looked at Bao Kang expectantly and asked tentatively, "How is it?" Is it a perfect interpretation of the inseparable relationship between me and Miss Bao? ”

Bao Kang swallowed his saliva in embarrassment, and reluctantly gave up the idea of letting Zhu Wolong compose a poem, "Let's just find a literati's love poem." ”

"Looking for whom?"

Bao Kang smiled proudly at Zhu Wolong, and shouted at the door, "Bald! ”

After a while, the bald police officer ran in from outside in a panic, he first saluted Bao Kang, and then bowed his head respectfully, "Director Bao, what are you looking for me?" ”

Bao Kang cleared his throat, "Now I have a very important task for you, go and find me a love poem by a literati and an ink writer." ”

"Love poems?" The bald head was puzzled.

"Yes, it should be very affectionate, sincere, love to the bone marrow, and never forget." Bao Kang added.

"Yes." The bald head turned around and was about to leave.

"Remember, be quick!" Bao Kang told the bald head uneasily.

The bald head left in response.

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi came to Dabao's house again with the heel fragment.

Lu Hehuan knocked on the door, and Ying Xi stood behind Lu Hehuan, deliberately covering himself.

After a while, Li Yingying opened the door, and when she saw Lu Hehuan, her face immediately turned cold.

"Officer, what's the matter?" Li Yingying was impatient.

Before Lu Hehuan could answer, Ying Xi suddenly rushed out from behind him and smiled ambiguously at Li Yingying, "Can't I look at you if it's okay?" ”

When Li Yingying saw Ying Xi, she suddenly looked charming, no matter if Lu Hehuan was still standing aside, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Ying Xi affectionately, "Ouch, isn't this Inspector Ying, what kind of wind blew you here, come in." ”

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi in surprise, Ying Xi looked proud, and rushed into the house in front of Lu Hehuan.
