Chapter 145: Nothing Found
Li Yan scratched his head and said hesitantly: "It's not a question of where you look at it, the problem is that this file can't be shown to people casually." ”
"Am I not okay? This is my family's case. Bai He frowned, in fact, she didn't understand this truth, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Li Yan, she just wanted Li Yan to open a back door for her in the past.
"This ......" Li Yan was quite embarrassed, he looked at Bai He, knowing that he should refuse, but looking at Bai He's face, he couldn't say anything to refuse.
He frowned and was silent alone, Bai He didn't want to make it too difficult for him, after all, he had only been the chief catcher for a long time, and if something got out, he would definitely be criticized.
"It's okay, you can't just forget it." Bai He said calmly, "I'm just here to ask you casually." ”
"It's not that you can't ......" Li Yan criticized himself in his heart, but said with a righteous face: "I can find out the file and show it to you, but like you said, just take a look in my office, and it is absolutely not okay to take it out." ”
Bai He nodded, "Don't worry, I will do what I say." ”
Li Yan snorted, and said But you can't see it today, it will take some time to find the archives, I will go to the archives room to find it later, and I will notify you when I find it, and then you can come over again.
"It's fine." Bai He knew that it was useless to be anxious about things that had passed for more than three years, and it was already a good start for Li Yanneng to promise to help her.
"Oh yes, I heard your brother got engaged a few days ago."
Bai He smiled slightly: "Yes." ”
Li Yan was curious about which girl Bai Ziyi was looking for, and after asking, he found out that she was a military doctor and a soldier, he nodded in admiration and said that she must be a good match.
"What about you? When are you going to get engaged to Chen Yihao? "Bai He just has nothing to talk about, and she can't leave after saying what she wants to say, it's too rude.
"Let's talk about it." Li Yan replied.
Bai He glanced at him a few times and asked, "You and Chen Yihao should still be together, right?" ”
Li Yan said that they were together, but he hadn't thought about it yet.
His parents had been urging Li Yan to get married and have children two years ago, but at that time, Li Yan still had Bai Lotus in his heart, and as soon as he was urged to marry, he became irritable and angry, so that his parents did not dare to talk more. Now that Li Yan has put it down and is with Chen Yihao, his parents have been chattering non-stop every day since they found out, especially after taking Chen Yihao home for two meals, Chen Yihao's desire to marry him is also very strong, and even directly told Li Yan that she can do without a bride price, just an ordinary banquet.
However, Li Yan didn't want to marry Chen Yihao for the time being, especially after he became the chief arrester of Jinzhou, he wanted to do a good job in his career first and then consider marriage. So far, he has not accompanied Chen Yihao back to Chen's house to see her parents, and Chen Yihao has quarreled with him once for this matter, saying that he doesn't care about her at all.
Li Yan himself is also very annoying, he really can't think about it.
Bai He thought for a while and said, "Is there a contradiction between career and marrying a wife?" And I think you're pretty good now. ”
"Not enough." Li Yan thinks that he has a false reputation as the chief arrester of Jinzhou, and if he wants to really make some convincing achievements, he wants to move his office to the police department, and he wants to give himself a place in the police department.
"By the time you think you've had enough, maybe you'll lose her." In Bai He's opinion, Li Yan is still a man who is very dedicated and serious about his feelings, and he will only be good to each other wholeheartedly when he decides who he wants to be with, so Chen Yi must have weight better than him, but it is not important enough for him to choose firmly.
Bai He took a sip of the boiled water he had poured for himself, and said, "You want to have a strong career, so you don't want other people and things to interfere with you and distract you." But a lot of times, these two things go hand in hand. It doesn't have to be that she will interfere with you, or she may be able to achieve you. ”
Li Yan listened carefully to what Bai He said, and then asked hesitantly, "Are you persuading me to marry Chen Yi?" "Sounds like that.
"I'm not trying to persuade you to marry her, if you need someone to persuade you to marry anyone, then you're still alone. I'm just telling you that there is no contradiction between career and getting a wife, you don't have to choose one of the two things, you can combine the two. Bai He's right hand gestured like a pair of scissors were closed.
Li Yan pondered and felt that what he said was not unreasonable.
Bai He asked him to think about it, saying that you are not too young, and you will not be able to get married and have children.
Li Yan was choked by her words and wanted to refute it, but he couldn't refute it with her as a woman, so he had to suffer.
"What about you?" Li Yan asked, "What do you think about me?" ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm still young." Bai He said with a smile.
Li Yan said: "Haven't you heard of the term "red face and easy to get old?" A woman grows old after twenty-five. ”
Bai He glanced at him and said that you can't speak so much, it's better not to get married, whoever marries you will be angry with you.
Li Yan laughed, "Just kidding, it's not good to be real." He actually wanted to ask Bai He and Zhu Dongfeng, but when he thought that he was not qualified to ask, he simply shut up. No matter what is between Bai He and Zhu Dongfeng, it is a matter for the two of them, and he is an outsider.
After chatting for a while, the people below came to talk to Li Yan about something, Bai He left without disturbing his office affairs, and did not forget to remind Li Yan not to forget to say yes.
After that, Bai He went home and waited anxiously for two days, she didn't do anything in these two days, she just waited for the phone every day, and waited. But she couldn't say that she didn't do anything, she went out of the door, she went to the Zhu Mansion. Very impulsively, she wanted to go to Zhu Dongfeng and tell him what she knew so far, but when she got to the door, she calmed down again, thinking that she should wait until everything was clarified before looking for Zhu Dongfeng, so that she could explain better.
So Bai He lingered outside the door of the Zhu Mansion for more than half an hour.
She really didn't do anything else than that.
Fortunately, Li Yan didn't let her wait too long, and told her that the file had been found the next night and asked her to go at eight o'clock in the morning. On the third day, she stepped into the patrol room a little bit.
"Now, it's all here." Li Yan placed a brown paper bag that was one centimeter thick on the table.
Bai He looked at it and put down his handbag, "It's all here?" She thought there would be a lot of them, but she didn't want to be the only one.
"Hmm." Li Yan nodded.
Bai He was about to demolish it, and Li Yan said again: "You are mentally prepared, there are many on-site photos in it." ”
"I've even experienced the scene, am I still afraid of just photos?" Bai He's tone was light, and there was no hesitation in the action of opening the bag.
Li Yan poured her a glass of boiled water as usual and put it on the table.
Taking out the dozen pieces of recording paper from the kraft paper bag, there was a small stack of photos that were placed separately in a small plastic bag, Bai He paused with the photos, put it down and looked at the notes first.
To this day, Bai He still remembers the process from the fire to the fire extinguishing that day, but she has little memory of what happened after the fire, because she was also burned in the back by the fire at that time, and spent an extremely difficult time in the hospital. Whether it was witnessing her mother's death or the wound on her back, it was unacceptable for her.
Looking at it now, there are indeed very few testimonies about Bai He, only a few lines. Everyone else has a whole page in it.
Bai He looked at the testimonies of the rest of the Bai family one by one, almost all of them were almost the same, including the testimony of the servants in the family at that time, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Bai He took the cause and result of the incident recorded by the patrol room, and there was nothing wrong with it, of course, the most inappropriate thing was that the "murderer" was not caught back then.
She remembered that the reason given by the patrol room back then was that those people were all gangsters, and when they saw that the matter was getting bigger, they escaped from Jinzhou City overnight, and to arrest them, they must first have their portraits, but the Bai family must also be mentally prepared, because even if they have portraits, they may not be able to find people. After leaving one's own boundary, the vast sea of people is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack.
At first, Bai He was also angry, and she also made a quarrel in the patrol room, but slowly she also recognized the reality, and then the people in the patrol room did not mention the arrest of the fugitives, and Bai He no longer mentioned the death of her mother in vain. It was as if it had just passed.
So the matter became an unsolved case.
Li Yan said: "After the incident, I contacted the patrol houses of several surrounding cities, and also sent them a copy of the portrait of the fugitive, so that they could help keep an eye on it, but unfortunately, there were no clues." He also put a lot of energy and effort into this matter, and in the end, it was difficult for him to face Bai He without finding anything, but he really tried his best. If you go further out, it will not be within his ability, and you need someone at a higher level to give orders, but this matter is not enough to attract the attention of the higher-ups. In the end, it can only end up lonely.
Bai He nodded and said I know you did a lot at that time.
She flipped through the pages and explanations of the time, read them very carefully, and did not let go of anything, even the questionnaire of the surrounding residents.
Li Yan saw that she was fascinated, and it was okay for him to sit here, so he simply sat back at his desk and went to see his old case.
The two of them saw that it was time to eat at noon, and neither of them was distracted
Qi Tai knocked on the door and called Li Yan to go out to eat beef stewed noodles together, Li Yan glanced at Bai He, and asked Qi Tai to take the brothers with him, and bring two portions when he came back. Love Book House
Qi Tai nodded, and laughed twice with bad intentions, only to be slapped by Li Yan.
Closing the door, Li Yan looked at Bai He's water cup and saw that it was more than half empty, and took it to fill it for her, Bai He glanced at him and said thank you, Li Yan asked, "What are you looking for?" ”
"No, I just want to see it." Bai He held her forehead and closed her eyes to rest for a while, she looked at whoever testified that there was no problem, maybe she was in the wrong direction?
Bai He frowned and continued to look through it.
Qi Tai brought food back, but she didn't eat it, and put her mind on the file. Li Yan saw her frowning and didn't say a word, wondering what she was thinking.
In the end, Bai He didn't see anything famous in these words, she thought that either she was negligent or someone lied.
Bai He sat for a moment and picked up the photo again.
The photo was taken of the Bai family after the fire was extinguished, and the smoke was everywhere, and it was a mess. There are also a few charred corpses, in fact, it is no longer obvious that it is a person, but Bai He knows that it is the body of his mother Lin Zhuyin. Her hand holding the photo trembled uncontrollably, but her expression was calm, and she slowly read it one by one until it was back to the first one.
Bai He flipped over the photo and put it on the table, she stared blankly at the paper spread all over the table, a little dazed.
Li Yan looked at her expression for a moment, and said tentatively, "Do you want to eat first, and then watch?" ”
But Bai He just shook his head, and took a few more from a pile of papers to look at them again.
“…… All right. Li Yan put the meal aside, returned to his desk and took a pen and a notebook, and said I'll go down for a meeting, you take your time. Of course, Bai He ignored him.
Bai He focused on reading the testimony and confessions of Bai Zhengting, the eldest wife, the third aunt, the fourth aunt and Bai Yuewei, and it seemed that she really couldn't see anything, and after thinking about it, she folded them up and stuffed them into her handbag. She had to bring it back to someone to help her study, and two people's brains were better than one.
Li Yan came back more than half an hour later, and Bai He was still sitting on the sofa, but she didn't look at those things anymore, but was sorting out the files that she had disrupted.
"Don't look at it?" Li Yan asked curiously.
"I've watched it twice." Bai He smiled and said that there is nothing to see, and it is wrong for me to have this idea.
Li Yan said, "What you don't understand, I haven't figured it out now?
"No, I've figured it out." Bai He looked at him, "The past is over, and I shouldn't continue to dwell on it." ”
"Then you're right." Li Yan helped her sort out the files together, "Originally, I was worried when I heard you say that you wanted to see the files, but now it seems that my worries are superfluous." It's good that you know it's in the past. ”
Bai He nodded: "I know." I'm just bothering you. ”
Li Yan smiled and wanted to say that there was any trouble with this, but the door was pushed open in the middle of the sentence, and Qi Tai looked at the two of them with a frightened expression and shouted, "Boss! The future sister-in-law is here! ”
"What's not ......" Li Yan was stunned for a moment, "You said you were coming?" ”
“…… Right! Qi Tai gasped.
Li Yan immediately looked at Bai He, and asked with a twitch of his brain, "What should I do?" It's coming, do you want to hide first? ”
“…… Why should I hide? "Bai He said that I have nothing to do with you, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here to hide?
Li Yan thought about it, but he was mainly afraid that Chen Yihao would be angry when he saw Bai Lotus indiscriminately, and the tempers of these two people would be thunderous and hot.
"I ...... I'll go down and see first. "The first task is not to let Chen Yihao see Bai He.
Qi Tai swallowed his saliva and said, "It's too late!" ”
"How can you ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yan saw Chen Yihao slowly appear in his field of vision, with a cold face, without saying a word, the calm before the storm.
"Okay, why are you here?" Li Yan smiled dryly.
"What? Not welcome? Chen Yi looked at him with a good smile and no smile.
Li Yan hurriedly said: "No, I didn't say it casually, of course I welcome you to come." ”
"Really?" Chen Yihao pushed him away and walked into the office, squinted at Bai He, who was sitting on the sofa and didn't move, and said leisurely: "I thought you thought I was disturbing your good business!" ”
"What do you say?" Li Yan pulled her and was thrown away by her.
Chen Yihao walked up to Bai He and looked at her with lowered eyes: "What did I say?" You still don't understand what I'm saying? Why is she here? ”
Bai He raised his eyes and looked at her, but he didn't say anything.
Li Yan explained: "She came here for business. ”
"What's the matter?" Chen Yihao glanced at him, "What else can you two do together?" ”
"You ......"
"The file is on the table, you talk slowly, I'll go first." Bai He stood up with his handbag.
Chen Yihao blocked her way, "Why do you have to leave as soon as I come?" What's the hurry? Sit down and talk a little longer. ”
"Don't speculate with you, let's save it." Bai He tugged at the corners of his mouth, reached out and pushed her away and walked out of the office directly.
Seeing this, Qi Tai hurriedly closed the door and left quickly.
Li Yan was about to let Chen Yihao sit down, Chen Yihao threw his bag on the sofa and said angrily: "Say! ”
Li Yan was taken aback by her, "Say, what to say?" ”
"Why is she here?" Chen Yihao glared at Li Yan with anger on his face, "What have you done behind my back!" ”
"Don't talk so badly, okay?" Li Yan frowned, Chen Yihao is actually good anywhere, but when she meets Bai He, she can't suppress her anger.
"What can we do in the office? There's something wrong with her coming! ”
Chen Yihao said with a strange expression: "Listen to what you mean, if you are somewhere else, you have to do something?" ”
Li Yan really admired a woman's ability to find trouble, he shook his head, "I didn't mean that at all." But I can't help it if you think so! ”
As soon as she heard this, Chen Yihao exploded, her mouth began to question Li Yan like clockwork, Li Yan reluctantly picked up the file and turned around, Chen Yi was so angry that he pulled his arm hard, and the file fell to the ground.
It's about the thread that wasn't wrapped properly, and half of the documents inside leaked out.
Chen Yihao paused after casually glancing at it, she squatted down to pick up the things, looked at them, and then looked at Li Yan.
"This ......"
"The archives of the Bai family's fire three years ago. The White Lotus is here for it. Li Yan took it and sealed it again, saying that Bai He had come over since the morning, and he sat there motionless, and I didn't know if there were ten sentences in total when I told her, and she didn't eat the food Qi Tai bought for her. We really don't have anything, you believe it, or I can't prove it if you don't believe it.
Chen Yihao, who was still unforgiving just now, bit her lower lip and was silent at this time, she stared at Li Yan's back and asked, "What you said is true?" ”
Li Yan glanced back at her and didn't speak.
