Chapter 40: Getting Better
Ma Jianping can see from Qi Ran's conversation that she is different from ordinary girls, she is an insightful and thoughtful girl.
"My dad was an ordinary worker, my mom lived in the countryside, and he cut the queue for a few years where my mother lived."
"A few years later, my dad went back to the city, my mom stayed in the countryside, and they lived apart for a few years. Later, my father opened a tailor shop for my mother in the city, and at the same time applied for a business license, and our family was together again. β
Teacher Xiao Qi spoke with a very sincere expression, although she was talking about her family's hard years, but her face was completely sad and miserable, but instead relieved.
"Jianping, you see, the shirt and skirt on Xiao Qi's body are all made by her mother."
"Now Xiao Qi's family has opened a small garment factory, and the scale is not bad. Despite this, the clothes Xiao Qi wears have always been made by his mother's own hands. Xu Xiaolan said.
Ma Jianping has not studied clothing, but the shirts and skirts worn by Mr. Xiao Qi are indeed elegant, and Mr. Xiao Qi is becoming more and more fresh and refined, which he sees in his eyes.
"I've already told my parents about coming to meet." Teacher Xiao Qi said suddenly.
"Oh?!" Ma Jianping didn't expect to meet, Teacher Xiao Qi had predicted the elders so quickly, and he was a little caught off guard.
"That...... I want to ask, are your parents opposed to your contact with the criminal police industry? Ma Jianping tentatively threw out this question.
"They were very supportive. They have gone through difficult times, and they are all people who are sensible and democratic. They have always respected me, supported my every decision, and never objected to anything I wanted to do. "Teacher Xiao Qi told the truth.
"Personally, I believe that every profession has its own peculiarities, but this should not be a fetter that hinders the pace of life."
"I admire the profession of criminal police, I think not everyone can be a criminal policeman, to be a person like you, it takes a certain amount of technical content." When Teacher Xiao Qi spoke, his eyes kept looking directly at Ma Jianping.
Ma Jianping knew in his heart that this was a girl's show of respect for people, but he was still a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to look at Teacher Xiao Qi, his eyes subconsciously dodged.
Xu Xiaolan knew that Xiao Qi was a talkative person, and she observed that today Teacher Xiao Qi said more than Ma Jianping, and it was estimated that the girl fell in love with Xiao Ma.
Looking at Ma Jianping's expression, his impression of Teacher Xiao Qi will not be bad.
It seems that the marriage line that her "matchmaker" pulled this time is right, and she is secretly happy.
The three of them drank coffee, ate snacks, and chatted at the same time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Both of these people have the intention of hating each other.
Xu Xiaolan is very satisfied with Xiaoma's performance today, Xiaoma is engaged in criminal investigation work like her husband, and this kid has lived up to her and her husband's good intentions.
After that, Ma Jianpingtuo resigned from the bathroom and went directly to Batai to settle the account.
After coming back, Ma Jianping and Teacher Xiaoqi exchanged phone calls.
"Next time, I'm not going to make a light bulb." Xu Xiaolan looked at the two of them jokingly.
When they walked out of the coffee shop, Xu Xiaolan and Ma Jianping looked at the electronic clock on the platform at the same time, the time was exactly 7:25, and the road was shining with heavy makeup at the beginning of the night.
"Pony, it's getting a little dark, you send Teacher Qi home." Xu Xiaolan said.
"Yes." Ma Jianping was very happy.
"Sister Lan, don't bother him. My house is right in front, not far from here. β
"Pony, look ahead! I'm one step ahead. Xiao Qi, goodbye. Xu Xiaolan walked quickly to the bicycle, took out the key to open the lock, pushed the bicycle onto the sidewalk, looked at a pair of young people standing under the tree, and then stepped on the bicycle and went in the direction of Baoyun Road.
Xu Xiaolan wanted to give the two of them a little time alone.
"I'll send you." Ma Jianping said while driving the lock.
Teacher Qi saw that his tone was firm, and he no longer shirked. In fact, she still hopes to get along with Ma Jianping for a while longer, and the aura on this person is very attractive to her.
She unlocked the car. Two people pushed their bicycles and walked in the direction of Fengle Road.
Neither of them had the intention of riding.
"Teacher Qi, I'm sorry to meet you today." Ma Jianping apologized for the delay in going to the appointment.
"It's okay, I know, you're busy, I can understand that. In the future, don't call me Teacher Qi, okay? Sounds weird, call me by name. β
"Okay, then I'll call you Qi Ran."
"I'll call you Jianping in the future, is that okay?"
"Okay!" Ma Jianping was about to be complacent, so he changed his name so quickly, and he and this girl were one step closer.
"You're so good at drawing, can you draw me a portrait when you're free in the future?"
"Hehe, no problem, wrap it up on me."
"Qi Ran, I heard you say just now, you teach physics?"
"yes."
"It's rare for a girl to be good in science, I really admire you, when I was in school, physics was like a big black hole for me." Ma Jianping said as he drew a circle shape with his left hand.
Qi Ran looked at his movements very funny and cute, giggling.
"May I ask? Isn't it scary that you're solving a case? It's like what is written in a horror and suspense novel. β
"It's okay, but it's not as exaggerated as in the novel, we're used to doing this business, and we don't think there's anything."
"I'm hereβright in this alley." The two talked happily, and after a while, they arrived at the door of Qi Ran's house.
Ma Jianping is still a little unsatisfied.
"You go in! I watched you go in. Ma Jianping said reluctantly.
"Okay."
Qi Ran affectionately forgot about Ma Jianping and pushed the bicycle into the alley.
"Call me when you're free." Qi Ran suddenly turned around and said loudly towards the mouth of the alley, while waving his arms to say goodbye to Jianping.
"Okay." Ma Jianping responded enthusiastically, he felt that he had fallen in love with this girl.
He watched Teacher Qi's figure disappear around the corner of the alley, and then took out a small blessing machine from his pocket: "Team Zhao, I'm Ma Jianping." Report to the captain and successfully complete the task. β
"Young poverty, don't fool me, you kid, how the task is completed, I have to see what your sister-in-law says."
"The little ones don't dare."
"Okay, you rush to the office of the director of the Hukoumen Antique Trading Market Management Office to meet Lu Qian, what specific task is Lu Qian's meeting."
"Got it. Captain, I'm hanging. β
Ma Jianping hung up the phone, got on the car and rode away with a happy face.
When Qi Ran pushed open the door of his courtyard, a man came out of the corner, this person was Qi Ran's father, Qi Zhihao. He saw that it was getting late just now, and he was not worried about his daughter, so he wanted to come out to meet her. As a result, he saw his daughter talking to a tall man in the alley, and he didn't step forward, but stood around the corner and observed for a moment.
It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world!
After Team Zhao and Linghu Yunfei arranged Lu Qian, they went back to the criminal investigation team, I don't know what happened to Xiang Daimo and Xiao Luhan's investigation.
When the two returned to the criminal investigation team, the time was about half past four in the afternoon.
Xiang Daimo is back, but Xiao Luhan is still nowhere to be seen.
Linghu Yunfei suddenly patted his head.
"Yunfei, what's wrong with you?"
"Let Xiao Luhan go to check all the bathhouses in Jingxi alone, I really don't think about it."
"The workload for this kid is too great, all the bathhouses in the city are open after noon, and there are dozens of bathhouses in the city, running one by one, it takes time, and he is estimated to be too busy alone." Ling Hu Yunfei blamed himself a little.
"So be it! Yunfei, you call Xiao Luhan and ask him where he is now, and the three of us will go and meet him now. β
"Team Zhao, you're right." Linghu Yunfei said as he took out the small blessing machine from his pocket and dialed Xiao Luhan's phone.
"Hey, Luhan, where are you now?"
"Vice. I'm in the Laozi Temple Zhangji Bathhouse. β
"Now, how many bathhouses are there that I haven't visited?"
"There are still eleven bathhouses that have not run."
"Where's the next bathhouse you're going to?"
"The deputy team is the Qiankun Hall on Zhang Juren Road in Xicheng District."
"Okay, we'll see you in Qiankun Hall."
After that, the three of them rode their bicycles to the Qiankun Hall on Zhangjuren Road in Xicheng District.
Originally, Zhao Zimeng and Linghu Yunfei were going to listen to Xiang Daimo's report in the office, but now, they can only listen to the report on the way to Hongkun Bathhouse.
Xiang Daimo's investigation was not very smooth, and the leader of the Zhongguan Grain Depot had just been transferred, and he was not very familiar with Rao's situation.
If you want to know the specific situation of Rao at a glance, you must find Sun Hongfa, the leader of the second group of the grain depot, who is the old man of the grain depot.
There are three groups in the Zhongguan grain depot, Rao is in the second group, and before Rao is in the grain depot, Sun Hongfa is the leader of the second group.
Zhou Shouzhi, the director of the office, said that at the grain depot, Rao had two very good friends who were playing, and he could invite these two people to the office if needed.
But he can't guarantee that these two people won't tell Rao Glance about someone's visit, because the relationship between these two people and Rao Glance seems to be very iron.
One of these two people is called Men Xuejun, and the other is Zhao Haifeng.
Director Zhou said that there are many villains in Rao Glance's house, and Rao Glance often eats and lives in Men Xuejun and Zhao Haifeng's house, and lives for a few months.
Usually on the night shift, these two people often help Rao glance to replace the shift. But the duty fee is still taken around the list.
However, Rao often invites two people to the restaurant for a drink.
These situations were all told by Director Zhou when he heard Sun Hongfa tell him.
Director Zhou also said that although Rao was not a cadre in the unit, he seemed to have some prestige in front of these two buddies, and they all listened to Rao Glance's greeting, and the rest of the group seemed to be more convinced of Rao Glance.
Let's put it this way, in the second group, Rao Glance's prestige is a little higher than that of the team leader Sun Hongfa, and the leader also wanted Rao Glance to be the leader of the second group, but somehow, Rao Glance doesn't seem to be interested in the team leader's hat at all.
