The car drove from the downtown area to a quaint characteristic street, then drove slowly to a bluestone path, and finally stopped in front of an open old wooden door.

The antique courtyard house, the stone tablet at the entrance is engraved with the red font of "Ji's Former Residence", and there are also small characters such as tourist attractions and intangible cultural heritage written below. It seems to be a place for visitors to enjoy. The plaque in the center reads "Ji's Gold Shop".

Xing Yi stepped into the threshold, and Deng Ming followed.

As far as the eye can see, there is a quiet courtyard, full of flowers and plants, birds and flowers. A fat white woman came out of the back room, wearing a water-colored cheongsam, looking at them with a smile.

"Two ...... Police officer? The white fat woman's eyes were bent into a line, "What are you doing?" ”

"Boss, we're here to investigate the case." Xing Yi directly explained his intentions.

"Ah......" The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and opened the door cooperatively. Come on in. ”

The two then followed the proprietress to the second floor, marked that customers were not allowed to enter, and walked through a long corridor of ancient carvings and paintings, and the proprietress pushed through the door of the penultimate room.

During the period, the proprietress gave a brief introduction, saying that her surname was Ji, a single name and a Rong character, and she was forty years old this year. This old Mr. Ji is Ji Nianzu.

"You sit here for a while, and I'll go get some tea."

"Thank you." He smiled at Ji Rong, and his afterglow was attracted by a black-and-white photo on the bookshelf.

An old yellowed black-and-white photograph of an old shop from the Republic of China, with the sign reading Ji's gold shop, and three young men standing in front of the shop, a woman in a cheongsam and a modern roll, and two men in suits. The three were of the same age and were smiling happily in the photo.

Xing Yi stepped forward and picked up the photo that was delicately wrapped in the frame, although it was a little old compared to other photos, and even the photo frame was very old, but unlike other photos, this photo seemed to be often picked up and scrubbed, and there was no dust at all.

He flipped the frame over, and a string of prominent numbers came into view.

June 8, 1945...... This should be the date the photo was taken.

"?4568......" Xing Yi immediately thought of the strange number marked on the gold ring sent by Qiao Qian.

1945, June, 8. So, is the number corresponding to the date?

"That's my father."

Xing Yi turned around and saw Ji Rong standing behind them with a tea tray, he smiled apologetically and put down the photo.

"It's okay, you sit down." Ji Rong smiled and put the things in the tea tray on the table one by one, and said softly, "That is my father's favorite photo." She put the empty plate aside, picked up the photo and handed it to Xing Yi.

"My father never told us about this photo, and he didn't want to say it, and we as children don't want to ask...... The world is impermanent, and he left half a year ago. Ji Rong pursed her lips slightly, "By the way, you two are here to investigate the Chen family's case." ”

“…… Yes, you actually know ......" Deng Ming tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly. You really can't underestimate the power of the media......

"Although I don't like the Internet, how can I not look at my phone now, especially old traditional things like ours, which are still up to date. But is there anything I can do to help? Ji Rong looked at the two of them in confusion.

"This ring was ordered by your store." Xing Yi said as he took out the evidence bag containing the gold ring from his pocket and handed it to the proprietress .

The proprietress took on her reading glasses hanging on her chest and took a closer look, and suddenly her face was shocked.

"This ring is a relic of my father, who he ordered us to destroy before he died. It's just that business has not been prosperous in the past six months, and I have not had time to do it. Last month, we had a difficult cash flow, and we were going bankrupt, but suddenly someone said that we wanted to buy it and paid a high price. The more Ji Rong spoke, the more excited she became, "Thanks to that money, we can inherit this gold shop." ”

Xing Yi glanced at her silently and put down the cold teacup in his hand.

"Then do you know that the person who bought this ring is Mrs. Chen?" Deng Mingfu asked.

"Mrs. Chen?"

"You seem surprised?" Xing Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, keenly catching a hint of surprise flashing in Ji Rong's eyes.

"It's really surprising...... she admitted unexpectedly, "You two don't know, the Chen family has a feud with our Ji family, although it is the hatred of the elders, but Mrs. Chen will never buy this pair of rings, let alone help us." Ji Rong looked around at the newly decorated house, and the expression on her face was very determined.

"The Chen family has a feud with you?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I just heard from my mother that my father's leg was crippled by the Chen family."

Deng Ming frowned unconsciously as he listened. Crippled? What a hatred this must be.

"Wait." Xing Yi interrupted Deng Ming's questioning, took the ring and posed it to Ji Rong and asked, "You just said that this is a pair of rings?" ”

Deng Ming's gaze temporarily moved from the proprietress to Xing Yi's hand beside him.

Ji Rong was slightly stunned, and immediately explained: "Yes, this is a pair of rings, there are two large and one small. ”

Xing Yi nodded slightly and leaned back in his chair.

Deng Ming understood and continued to ask,

"Ms. Ji, let's continue with the question just now."

"Ahh Good...... Actually, my mother didn't say much, and maybe she didn't know very well, the two of them were not married at that time. I only knew that it was a rainy night, and my father dragged one leg home covered in blood, and when he came back, he didn't say a word or seek medical attention. When he was young, his father had no family, and it was his mother who secretly ran away to take care of him. The man came back to life, but the leg has been disabled ever since. ”

"What about your mother?" Deng Ming frowned slightly and looked at her.

"It's been three years. This home has always been taken care of by her. The father only cares about the gold, regardless of the family, and the mother is too hardworking...... Get ahead of him. ”

"Your father, can you draw?" Xing Yi suddenly asked.

"Drawing?" Ji Rong frowned and shook her head, "My father doesn't like to paint, and even if I want to learn, he doesn't agree." ”

"Thank you for your cooperation, if you have any new clues, remember to contact us."

"Ms. Ji, let's go first." Deng Ming hurriedly followed him.

"Boss, what are we going to do now?"

"To each his own house."

"Back to ...... Family? Deng Ming once again confirmed that his ears were not wrong.

"I'm a little tired and need to rest."

"Ah, yes."

What's wrong with the boss today...... Absent-minded.

Qiao Qianwen looked at the dishes on the table and sighed.

In retrospect, it seems like she hadn't eaten a meal in a long time.

"Come to my house for dinner, and let you order takeout at a reasonable price, it's embarrassing." She looked at Yan Yusheng on the opposite seat with some apologies, and was reflected by the candlelight.

"I'm embarrassed, I'm here to entertain my neighbors for a meal. If it weren't for the power outage, I might still be able to cook some Western food, and then we wouldn't have to eat takeout. Yan Yusheng picked up a piece of sweet and sour tenderloin and put it in her bowl, "Try this, I read the evaluation that this shop is not bad." ”

Qiao Qianwen picked up the chopsticks and poked the sweet and sour tenderloin, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"It's delicious."

"Really? Just like it. He curled the corners of his lips slightly.

Qiao Qian scooped up a spoonful of egg drop soup and put it into her mouth, "In terms of the taste of food, we will definitely become very good friends." ”

"Speaking of which, we may have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Yan Yusheng looked at her, "Isn't there a big case recently?" How did you not participate. ”

"Honestly," she swallowed slowly, "I've been kicked out of the case." ”

"May I ask why?"

"Because ......"

The sound of the door opening interrupted her words.

"Your roommate is back?" Yan Yusheng looked at her, and the color on her face changed slightly.

"yes...... she lowered her head and took the last bite of rice, "he's the one who kicked me out of the case." ”

As soon as the words fell, that is, the moment Xing Yi just entered the door, the lights in the room were lit back in an instant.

"Calling?"

Qiao Qianwen and Yan Yusheng glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at the man who walked in from the entrance.

Xing Yi also saw the two people eating at the table, and his gaze moved straight from Qiao Qianwen in a bathrobe to the strange man.

"I thought you hadn't eaten and brought you something." He gave her a smile, and his eyes instantly cooled as he looked at the man.

"Who is he?"

His tone was cold and unfriendly.

Looking at the way he looks, it is obvious that he has misunderstood something...... Qiao Qianwen had a little headache, stood up and walked to his side, took the food bag in his hand, and then said to the two,

"Introducing, this is our new neighbor. It is also Yan Yusheng, the new leader of the crime scene investigation team in our bureau. ”

"That's what you call a roommate. Hello, my name is Yan Yusheng. He smiled kindly at him.

Qiao Qianwen turned to Xing Yi beside her, "He is the captain of the criminal investigation team, Xing ......"

However, before he could speak, he was interrupted in a deep voice,

"Hello Mr. Yan, my name is Xing Yi, and I am her husband."

A hint of suspicion flashed in Yan Yusheng's eyes, "Husband? I'm sorry, but she said you ......"

"Roommate?" He hooked his lips and smiled meaningfully, and put one hand around her waist, "According to your professional intuition, could a lonely man and widow who live under the same roof be roommates?" ”

“…… Xing Yi. ”

Qiao Qianwen couldn't move for a while, looking at Yan Yusheng with a slightly stiff smile, and her fingers secretly pinched the flesh on Xing Yi's arm. And he didn't seem to feel it, but hugged her tighter.

"In my opinion, no matter what the relationship is, Miss Qiao has to say it, right?" Yan Yusheng looked at the two and smiled lightly.

Xing Yi ...... The food is going to be cold, can you eat first......" Qiao Qianwen bent her eyes slightly and pulled out a smile.

"Captain Xing, let's eat first."

Yan Yusheng set up the dishes and chopsticks and left the table.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, next time I will officially invite you two to my house for dinner." Yan Yusheng smiled at Xing Yi and turned to look at Qiao Qian.

"Forensic Doctor Qiao, the Chen Mansion has agreed to allow our on-site investigation team to enter the investigation. I hope you can come along and see it for us from your point of view. ”

Qiao Qianwen was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Of course you can." ”

"Well, then, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Yan Yusheng looked at Xing Yi again, "And Captain Xing, I won't see you when the time comes." ”

"Good night, both."

"Goodbye ......"

The moment Yan Yusheng left the house and closed the door, Qiao Qianwen finally broke free from Xing's arm.

She opened the grocery bag and took out the crisper boxes one by one. Glutinous rice lotus, braised beef, duck tongue...... It's all her favorite food. Qiao Qianwen looked at the delicious food in front of her with a little regret.

"I've only been away from home for half a day, and you let a strange man into the house?" He sat down at the table, speaking in a tone that looked like he was questioning his wife, who had attracted butterflies.

"First of all, he is not a strange man, he is our new neighbor and our future colleague."

"So you're generous enough to have a candlelit dinner with him?" Xing Yi looked at a row of candles on the table pointedly.

“…… That's because, there was just a power outage. "Who let him charge himself, as soon as he entered the house, he called instantly. Qiao Qianwen frowned helplessly, leaned down and blew out the candlelight.

"Besides, it's my freedom to eat with whomever and how I eat, right?"

"Didn't I tell you not to intervene in Mrs. Chen's case?" He darkened his face and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to look at him closer.

"You're hurting me."

She looked at him quietly, and her words were cold, "Since people want to use my perspective to participate in the case, then I don't need to take the position of a forensic doctor." If you help you in this way, it won't bother us all......"

He looked into her eyes and his heart shook, and he immediately let go of his hand.

"I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, I'm doing everything to be worthy of my work ethic." Qiao Qianwen turned her wrist lightly and smiled at him,

"We never owe each other, do we?"

"Don't you owe each other......"

If you don't owe each other, you are strangers.

He looked at her seemingly indifferent eyes, but smiled slightly.

Even if she was indifferent, the ups and downs in her eyes were still in his eyes.
