"Does the gentleman have a reservation?" The waiter's words made Xia Tingcheng stunned for a moment, such a small broken hotel still needs to be booked in advance? But just as he was about to speak, a man in his thirties at the bar shouted loudly.

"Yo! Captain Qin, a rare guest, I called here to reserve a place, I still wondered if it was you, you haven't come to me for a while? "The boss Xia Tian crossed the city to meet Qin Fei, and it seemed that he was very familiar with Qin Fei.

"Tiger, didn't I come? Have you reserved a place? This is my friend, I'm having a treat today, serve me your specialty dish, don't let the chef in the back deal with me, you know? Qin Fei said with a fake slap on the tiger's shoulder.

"How can it? You are a distinguished guest, and you must also bring a noble person, you two here, please! After the boss finished speaking, he led Qin Fei and Xia Chengcheng to the back of the hotel, walked through a narrow corridor in the middle, went out the back door to the backyard, and walked into a small house next to it, "Look at it, if you don't come, I'll be dusted!" ”

Qin Fei smiled and slapped the boss again, "You actually told me nonsense, hurry up and serve the food, I'm hungry!" ”

"Okay, I'll be here right away, I'll cook it myself!" The boss smiled and went out.

Xia Tingcheng looked at this small room, it was very simple, there was a round table in the room, a few chairs, a disposable tablecloth on the table, a corner cabinet with paint off next to it, and a very old air conditioner hanging on the discolored white wall, which was as simple as the food stalls outside, and looked at the end at a glance.

"Don't jump to conclusions based on appearances alone, wait until you've eaten his cooking, and make sure you want to come next time." Qin Fei took out two pairs of chopsticks and two paper cups from the corner cabinet, "Coming by car, I can't drink, can you drink some?" The effect of the medicinal wine brewed by the boss is particularly good, and the taste is ...... Forget it, do you want to drink some? ”

Xia Tingcheng couldn't help but wonder, "I'll just drink hot tea." ”

"Sit down first!" Qin Fei asked Xia Qingcheng to sit down, turned his head and pushed open the door and shouted, "Tiger, bring a pot of tea!" ”

The voice of the boss inside came back, "Okay, I'll be right away!" ”

After a while, several dishes were placed in the small room, each dish was exquisitely arranged, delicate and fragrant, after Xia Tingcheng tasted it, he had to admire Qin Fei in his heart, this inconspicuous Sichuan restaurant really needs to be booked in advance to eat.

Xia Tingcheng gave Qin Fei a very different feeling, he didn't have the restraint of being with someone he had just knew, what he said and what he did made people feel very comfortable, this person ......

If it weren't for the case, Qin Fei might have made friends with such a person!

"Assistant Xia......" Qin Fei poured tea for Xia Tingcheng, but was interrupted by Xia Tingcheng as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Since you said that I am a person who can make friends, do you say that this title can be changed, don't always call Assistant Xia and Assistant Xia, it's too official." Xia Chengcheng ate a little spicy, and took a water cup to drink while talking.

"Okay, then I'll call you Xia ......"

"Just call me Allure."

Xia Qingcheng interrupted Qin Fei again and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll call you Allure, and you'll call me Qin Fei, that's all right?" Qin Fei also smiled.

"Good!" Xia Qingcheng quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Fei, then lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.

"I heard that you are also from Jiangcheng?" Qin Fei asked casually.

"Yes, but I went abroad at a very young age." Xia Qingcheng replied.

"Is there anyone else in the house?" Qin Fei continued to ask, and easily exchanged a plate of small crispy pork with brown in front of Xia Tingcheng, who helped him and said that he could arrive.

"My father and I are the only ones in the family now, but now I live alone and rarely go home."

Qin Fei glanced at Xia Qingcheng and thought in his heart, "What about your mother?" ”

Xia Qingcheng paused for a moment, put down his chopsticks, took a sip of the teacup before saying, "My mother died when I was very young. ”

"Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." Qin Fei hurriedly apologized, but he still saw a trace of entanglement in Xia Qingcheng's eyes.

Why not nostalgia or sadness? But tangled?

Xia Qingcheng shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, it was a long time ago, by the way, how was your case last time?" Is there any progress? ”

Xia Qingcheng's deliberate change of topic did not make Qin Fei relax his vigilance, but increased it a lot.

"This ......" Qin Fei deliberately pretended to be embarrassed.

"I know, hehe, if it's inconvenient to say, then don't say it, I know your rules, I'm abrupt." Xia Chengcheng relieved Qin Fei of the siege and filled Qin Fei's teacup with water.

Later, the two chatted about something else, and neither of them mentioned anything about their respective families or cases.

After eating, it was almost eight o'clock, Qin Fei said hello to the boss, settled the bill and left the restaurant.

"I had a very happy meal today, and I am really grateful to ...... Qin Qin Fei! Xia Qingcheng looked at Qin Fei with a smile and said.

"Just be happy, let's go, I'll send you back!" Qin Fei also replied with a smile, bypassed the front of the car, opened the door and sat down.

In a black sedan opposite the hotel, a person watched Qin Fei and Xia Qingcheng come out of the hotel with a smile and a smile, and the two got into Qin Fei's car again, until the car drove away and disappeared before retracting their gaze.

"Do you want to follow?" The driver, dressed in black, asked.

"Forget it, let's go back!" The soft and glutinous voice said a little weakly.

The car started, blending into the twilight of the night in the opposite direction of Qin Fei.

After sending Xia Chengcheng off, Qin Fei returned to the criminal police team, and the others were still waiting for him.

"How?" Lu Ming asked.

"Didi!" Two text message prompts interrupted Qin Fei, who was about to speak, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and shook it at Lu Ming.

The text message reads: Don't beat the grass

Scared snake, wait!

Wait again? What exactly did he have to wait for? Qin Fei couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"We were asked to wait before, what do you want us to wait for?" Lu Ming asked puzzled.

Qin Fei thought of the previous words, don't startle the snake!

Summer Falling? How did he know that he had gone to find Xia Chengcheng?

Is this texter Zhou Yi or not? But no matter who the person who sent the text message is, it is impossible for Qin Fei to stop and wait, they can wait, and the above, the media and the people who pay attention to this case from the outside world can't wait!

Qin Fei pondered in his heart, but he didn't stay idle, "Wu Qiang, you can find out how Xia Qingcheng's mother died!" ”

After speaking, Qin Fei walked to his seat, and before he sat down, he continued: "I tentatively asked him about some family matters, and he didn't deny his father Xia Jingze, but he was very shy about mentioning his mother, who passed away very early, and after I asked, he immediately changed the topic. ”

"What? Do you think there is something wrong with his mother's death? Lu Ming still didn't understand.

Qin Fei slurped a few times, "I don't know, I just feel that when he mentions his mother, his expression is a little strange!" ”

"Oh? Could it be that there is something hidden in this? Lu Ming asked.

"I'll know when Wu Qiang finds out."

Lu Ming was a little strange, wondering what was the place in this Xia Chengcheng that caught Qin Fei's attention, was it just because he also lived in the staff dormitory arranged by Sheng Hua?

Or was there something about his behavior that aroused Qin Fei's suspicions?

Anyway, let's wait until Wu Qiang finds out some results.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming walked behind Wu Qiang and watched him operate on the computer.

Wu Qiang quickly found out the information related to Xia Chengcheng.

According to the information found by Wu Qiang, Lu Ming went out on a special trip the next day, and what he learned surprised Lu Ming, no wonder Qin Fei would suspect that Xia Chengcheng.

It turned out that when Xia Tingcheng was twelve years old, his father was not the dean, but only the attending physician of the psychiatric department of the hospital and the lecturer of the psychology course of the medical university.

Because of work, Xia Jingze can rarely take care of the family, and Xia Chengcheng has been raised by his mother since he was a child.

Xia Tingcheng's mother's name is Luo Yuewei, she used to be a nurse, and she looks very sweet, judging from the photos, Xia Tingcheng may have inherited more of his mother's genes.

Due to Xia Jingze's relationship, after she gave birth to Xia Chengcheng, she quit her job in the hospital and concentrated on taking care of the child at home.

However, from a full-time nurse to a full-time housewife, Luo Yuewei will be more or less uncomfortable, plus friends and colleagues will go out with her when they have nothing to do, and gradually, Luo Yuewei likes financial management.

Anyway, there is nothing else to do at home except to take care of the children, since she started to manage money, more time, Luo Yuewei will stay in front of the computer and watch her financial projects constantly

Changing figures.

After Xia Jingze knew what Luo Yuewei did, he didn't have any special objections, but asked her not to put her eggs in one basket, and it was not bad to take out some spare money for financial management.

In this way, Luo Yuewei put more and more energy into financial management.

Other children, in their spare time, their mothers will tell them some fairy tales or take them out to play.

But what Xia Tingcheng heard since he was a child was about what benefits various financial management will bring and how much money he can make every day.

However, with the passage of time, less than a year of hard work, Luo Yuewei invested more and more money, not only did she not see much income, but her temper became worse and worse.

When he was in the fifth grade of elementary school in Xia Chengcheng, that is, when he was twelve years old, late one night, he heard the sound of his father and mother arguing for the first time.

Through the door of his room, he heard his father's angry screams and his mother's crying.

The constant sound of smashing things was heard, the door to the father's and mother's room opened, and the sound of the quarrel was clearly heard.

"I told you a long time ago, don't be greedy, don't be greedy! Okay now, what's left in this home now? Yes? You said! Usually, you are in charge of the family's money, not for you to take it for fun! What are you going to do now for me and Allure? Xia Jingze's roaring voice frightened Xia Tingcheng and slowly squatted on the ground.

The mother cried, "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I'm the one who ruined this home! What is the point of my life! ”

"Then why don't you die!" The father roared even more angrily.
