Qin Shen smiled and said, "That's not something I should worry about. Let them come as they please, as long as they don't make me apologize to that grandson, I can accept any other decision."

His nonchalant attitude made Xu Man feel anxious for him, but also relieved. She thought that since he said so, there really shouldn't be any serious consequences. After all, the June 15 boy case last year caused a sensation on the Internet, and the social attention it attracted was several orders of magnitude greater than that of this article. He had gotten through it, and now it was just a drizzle. She should have confidence in him.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said with a hum, "As long as you feel okay."

"I'm sure nothing will happen to me." Qin Shen said, "On the contrary, the part about you is what really opened my eyes." He sneered, "He calls himself a lawyer, but he doesn't even know how to write the three words "defamation". I think he should stop being a lawyer and become a speaker instead. He is a first-class speaker at talking nonsense."

This time it was Xu Man's turn to comfort him: "It's okay, he didn't take a photo of my face, and it was blurred in the photos, so no one can recognize me. He can make up whatever he wants. He's obviously targeting you now, and he mentioned me just to accuse you of having an affair with a female subordinate. I'm just incidental, you're the focus."

Qin Shen still had a bad tone: "If you want to target me, just come at me directly. It's nothing to drag you into this. You are the same as his brother, a coward."

This reminded Xu Man, and she quickly asked him, "Is this Luo Junyi really the brother of Luo Junli? He said in the article that he approached you twice, but was rejected both times. Is that true?"

"Yes. He came to see me twice in August. Once was when I was suspended from work, and once was when I led a team to Ningzhou to arrest someone. I was not in the team both times. It was only after I returned that someone told me, and then I knew he had come to see me."

"What a coincidence?" She was surprised. "You were not on the team both times?"

"It's quite a coincidence." Qin Shen shrugged indifferently, "But even if I were in the team, I wouldn't necessarily go to see him. After I beat that grandson, the case was no longer under my jurisdiction, and I couldn't meet the family members of the person involved. Of course, I was too lazy to meet him. The two brothers are both bad-looking. If I really met them, I might punch him again."

Xu Man's focus was not on this. What she thought was that no matter who Luo Junyi looked for those two times, the other party would definitely tell him that Qin Shen was not in the team and asked him to come back another day. However, the article explicitly and implicitly stated that Qin Shen was unwilling to see him. The nature of the matter was completely changed, and readers who did not know the inside story would easily be misled.

As for the so-called police officer surnamed Shen...

"Do you know who received Luo Junyi when he came to see you twice?" She turned her head slightly and asked Qin Shen who was hugging her from behind.

"The first time was Lao Chen, and the second time was Shen Donglei." Qin Shen said, "But at that time I was busy with Lin Fangfang's case, so I didn't take it seriously. I thought he would come for the third time, and I was prepared to see what happened. But he simply didn't come, and I became a paparazzi squatting outside to watch people. He was really bored."

It was indeed Shen Donglei.

If you think about it carefully, the three sentences in the article, "Captain Qin is not responsible for handling this case", "Busy with affairs", and "Can't spare the time to meet with you" are indeed in line with his own speaking style, but they should have been taken out of context, otherwise it would not be three short sentences, but a whole long paragraph.

He probably didn't expect that his casual words would be distorted and posted online, becoming an excuse to attack his boss.

Xu Man frowned, feeling more and more that Luo Junyi's behavior was disgusting.

The cold wind blew out slowly from the air conditioner. Since it was the weekend and there was no need to go out, she was still wearing the off-shoulder nightgown she wore last night. When the wind blew, she felt a chill rising up and couldn't help coughing twice.

Seeing this, Qin Shen immediately adjusted the air conditioner to the side, took off his coat and put it on her, covering her exposed shoulders. "Okay, don't worry about it. It's just an article written by an unknown lawyer. There's nothing to worry about. Have you had breakfast? I bought a box of steamed dumplings and put it in the refrigerator. Do you want to take it out and take a look? Eat it first and then take the medicine. I see you have been coughing since this morning. Did you catch a cold last night?"

Xu Man shook her head: "It's almost eleven o'clock, we might as well just have lunch."

Qin Shen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go downstairs and cook for you."

He said as he motioned for her to stand up so he could get off the bed, "What do you want to eat?"

"I'll go down with you." Xu Man said, with a smile on her face. She was no longer frowning with worry like before, but was a little excited to try. "I saw an interesting recipe this morning. It can be made with ribs, potatoes and carrots. Did you buy these vegetables?"

Qin Shen smiled and said, "I bought spareribs and potatoes, but I only bought white radishes, no carrots."

"White radish? ...White radish should be OK too, right?"

"You'll know if it works if you try it."

They walked out of the bedroom chatting and laughing, and went down to the kitchen on the first floor. They took out the ingredients and tried them out. They found that although the steps in the recipe looked simple and easy, they needed to cook the rice a day in advance and refrigerate it, otherwise the hot rice would stick the vegetables together. White carrots were no different, they could just be cut into pieces and stewed like carrots.

If freshly cooked rice was used, the fancy dish could also be made, but the taste would probably be greatly compromised, so Qin Shen finally chose the common dishes, a pot of pork ribs and radish soup, a non-spicy green pepper and potato shreds, and finally two fried eggs, and the three dishes for lunch were completed.

The green pepper and potato shreds were made by Xu Man, but she didn't know where to start when stir-frying the green pepper and potato shreds in the sizzling oil pan. Qin Shen put his arm around her waist from behind and guided her step by step until she finished the dish. It was a two-person job.

While eating, she learned more about the Luo brothers from Qin Shen: Unlike his younger brother who has a low level of education and has relied on working to make a living all year round, Luo Junyi can be considered an excellent student. He graduated with a master's degree in law from the University of Minnesota, is a cooperative lawyer at Wenzhou Law Firm, and has a third-level professional title. He has been living in Minnesota since college and has never returned to his hometown of Guzhou. He is now 31 years old, single and unmarried, and lives separately from his younger brother.

After listening, she became curious about how he knew so much information. After all, he missed both of Luo Junyi's visits, and Luo Junli was still lying in the hospital, and related investigations were on hold. He should not have had time to check this information.

Qin Shen smiled and looked at her. "The morning I was suspended, I was checking the identity of that grandson. When I saw his brother's information, I took a look and wrote it down."

Xu Man knew that he was exaggerating, but she still admired his photographic memory. Of course, it was also possible that he paid special attention to these things because the matter concerned her. In this regard, she was more willing to believe the latter.

"That Luo Junli," she asked again, "how is his condition now? Is he still in the hospital?"

"He woke up early, but he kept complaining about feeling unwell and refused to leave the hospital." Qin Shen's face darkened when he was mentioned. "He probably wanted to stay in the hospital and not go back to the detention center. But it's no use. As long as he is conscious and can talk, he must cooperate with the police in questioning. Lao Chen went there a week ago and asked him about what happened on the night of July 31st."

Xu Man suddenly realized. No wonder Shen Donglei suddenly asked her to take notes on that incident a week ago. She was wondering why he chose that time. It turned out that he wanted to make a simultaneous comparison with Luo Junli.

"What was the result?"

She asked subconsciously, and only after she said it did she remember that Qin Shen could not touch this case again, and naturally he would not be exposed to relevant information again. But it was obvious that the reality was not like this. Just because he did not touch this case did not mean that others would not tell him the news after touching it.

"He still refused to admit that he wanted to commit a crime that night." As expected, Qin Shen answered without a pause, "He insisted that he was kind enough to remind you to pay attention to the road. I reminded him that if the surveillance camera was not broken, I really wanted to throw the video of that night in his face."

Xu Man was stunned: "The surveillance is broken?"

"The power is out," he said, resting his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl. He was obviously in no mood to eat. "A few days ago, the construction team dug up the cable on the road while repairing it. The power supply to the entire road was cut off, and they didn't repair it in time. They wanted to wait for two days until the road was almost finished before connecting the cable. As a result, this happened."

Qin Shen: "That grandson must have stepped on the wrong spot, otherwise how could he choose a road that monitors power outages so well?"

Xu Man listened in a daze. She didn't expect that there would be problems with the surveillance again this time. It seemed that in every case she encountered, there would be problems with the surveillance. Either it was gone or it was on strike, as if God was protecting these people.

"Without surveillance, how can we prove that he wanted to commit a crime that night?" she asked, knowing clearly that if she wanted to convict Luo Junli, it would be useless to rely solely on her own confession. A complete chain of evidence was needed, and a complete chain of evidence required supporting evidence from many aspects, surveillance video being one of them.

"There are many ways. There are no surveillance cameras on the street, and there are no surveillance cameras in the surrounding areas. We can always find something by following his movements that day. And the mini wet wipes he brought that night have also been identified. They are soaked with 5% ether, which is enough to make people comatose. It's a pity that your saliva DNA and his fingerprints were not detected on them, otherwise it would have been confirmed. That bastard committed the crime wearing gloves."

Xu Man frowned when she heard this: "From what you said, it seems like he is very experienced. He made all the preparations in the early stages, including ether, gloves, and chose a route with no electricity."

"That's it." Qin Shen leaned back in his chair and placed his hands on the table with his fingers crossed. "So I suspect this is not his first time committing a crime. He is an old hand with a criminal record."
