Yang Suiyi is a total homebody whose favorite pastime is writing novels on various websites. However, she inevitably abandons every single one, earning curses from countless readers while gleefully...
Back in the autopsy room, Suiyi and Yezi Xi practically wished the corpse would wake up and talk to them. Their eyes were wide open as they stared at the body from beginning to end, completely mesmerized.
After reading it once, the two stood up straight and rested for a while.
"Sister Zixi, I think if it was murder, there would definitely be marks on the body. We might have just overlooked them!" Suiyi said somewhat discouragedly, her words lacking any confidence, as if she were trying to comfort herself.
"Yes! We've looked at it countless times, but we haven't found a single clue. We really hope Chenchen can change the old man's mind, otherwise we really don't know where to start."
"If we can't find it, let's go out. It's getting dark, and we don't know how things are on their end."
The two arrived at the office, but no one else had returned.
"Hey, Zixi, how about we order takeout? I get really hungry as soon as I relax. I threw up everything I ate for lunch today." She said with an embarrassed smile.
"Okay!" After ordering several dishes, Suiyi idly recalled the events of the day.
As I thought about it, I suddenly felt disgusted with myself. I had just been yelled at by someone today, and I was really annoyed.
However, she immediately blamed herself for being stingy, remembering how a certain man had looked at her with such tenderness on the Ferris wheel, and her heart started pounding wildly.
However, it seems that while I was on the Ferris wheel, something reflected light and blinded me. I sighed, shook my head, and decided not to think about it anymore since I couldn't figure it out.
A dozen minutes later, everyone returned, but they all looked unwell, probably because things hadn't progressed at all.
"Come on, come on! Anyone here who ordered takeout is a living saint!" Li Hao came in from behind carrying large and small bags.
"Let's go eat." Sui Yi said, then went to help Li Hao set the table. The others followed.
"Thanks, Xiaobai!" Just by looking at the variety of dishes, you can tell who ordered the takeout!
"Yes, ever since Xiaobai came, it seems like we get to eat delicious food every few days. We're almost embarrassed," Chenchen said with a smile.
"Let me see what we ordered today: enoki mushrooms, spicy crayfish, braised beef, and wow, hairy crabs, and corn and pork rib soup. How much will this meal cost?" Jiang Ling exclaimed.
Speaking of money, Suiyi finally remembered that her bank card was still with someone. However, she felt embarrassed to ask for it back in front of them, afraid that they would make a fuss.
"Xiao Bai, you don't have a salary right now, so let the boss pay for this meal. The boss probably has a lot of assets saved up." Ye Zixi's sudden words startled the two of them.
Leng Tianyi grunted in response and said nothing more.
"Of course, the boss should treat us to this meal! I almost forgot, our boss and Xiaobai made the headlines today, and it's all over my WeChat Moments!" Chenchen suddenly said.
"What? Let me see too." Apart from the two people involved, everyone else took out their phones to browse their WeChat Moments after hearing this.
"The most beautiful scene in my life is when I'm sweating and you wipe it away for me, my smile, and your doting affection. The accompanying picture is of a handsome man wiping sweat from a beautiful woman. And also, the most beautiful couple in a thrilling situation, I believe in love again!" Li Hao shouted even louder as he scrolled down the webpage.
"The most beautiful couple in Fengshan, do good deeds and win plush toys. The picture shows a beautiful woman standing in front of a pile of plush toys talking to someone, with a man standing behind her holding two plush toys."
Li Hao turned his gaze to the two of them, grinning mischievously, and spoke somewhat recklessly.
"Boss, so you guys went on a date today?"
"Xiao Bai, did the boss say anything to you?" The others looked at the two of them with ambiguous eyes, and they also had gossipy expressions on their faces.
"We just happened to run into each other. I was under too much pressure from the case, so I went to relax. There's nothing between us," Suiyi explained.
"What does this picture show?" Li Hao handed over his phone. The two looked down and saw that it was a picture of Leng Tianyi wiping her sweat that someone had secretly taken. Judging from the situation, it was indeed a bit...no wonder someone was laughing at them at the time.
"This, this..." Suiyi was truly speechless, her face falling in embarrassment.
"Li Hao, are you too idle?" Leng Tianyi saw that Sui Yi was a little depressed and couldn't bear to see someone unhappy, so he coldly threatened Li Hao.
Everyone should observe three minutes of silence for Li Hao; he's really courting death again.
Li Hao then realized he had touched a tiger's tail, and with an embarrassed smile, he buried his head in his food.
After finishing his meal and regaining his composure, Leng Tianyi said to Suiyi after thinking for a while, "It's too late, shall I take you home?"
"And what about you?"
"We're fine, we've had a good rest today! You must be tired, get some rest, we'll stay a little longer." Jiang Ling quickly waved his hand. They weren't going to be third wheels.
Sui Yi nodded and followed Leng Tianyi out! As soon as she stepped outside, Sui Yi shivered. Autumn nights are quite cold, especially with the wind blowing, and she was only wearing a thin layer of clothing.
"Cold?" Leng Tianyi asked, seeing her arms crossed.
“A little.” Suiyi nodded.
"Bring more clothes when you go out next time, the weather at night is not as good as during the day. Let's go, it won't be cold once we get in the car."
Leng Tianyi walked to the car door, opened the passenger side door, and after Sui Yi got in, he sat in the passenger seat himself.
"I live near Swan Lake, thank you!"
"Hmm!" After a moment of hesitation, the man said slowly.
"Um, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you today." He didn't dare look at Suiyi, afraid she was still angry.
"It's okay. You were just worried I'd get taken advantage of," Sui Yi said nonchalantly. She had been angry at the time and had spoken rather hastily. Besides, that person was disgusting; he was still thinking about how to make money even though someone was already dead.
After Sui Yi finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into an endless silence until they arrived at Sui Yi's house.
"Um, please stop up ahead, I'll get off there," Suiyi said when she saw that she had arrived at her home.
"good!"
After getting out of the car, Suiyi turned around and looked at the man inside.
"It's late, don't stay up too late. Things will work themselves out."
"Okay! Get some rest."
"I'm going upstairs, bye-bye!" After saying that, Sui Yi turned around and walked towards her home, while Leng Tianyi stayed downstairs until the lights came on upstairs before driving away.
"Sui Sui, when you see a high-quality man, do you feel any attraction?" the system popped up.
"I think so. Anyway, I really enjoy spending time with him. Xing, do you think I've fallen for him?"
"Yeah! But he's interested in you too, he's just a bit arrogant. He's a warm person, but he's the reserved type. Sui Sui, if you like him, go for it."
"Let's talk about it later!" After saying that, she turned off the light and went to sleep.
When Leng Tianyi returned to the police station, the other officers were still there, looking at him with mocking expressions.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" I don't understand.
"Why did you come back so quickly? Did you not even stop by her house after taking your sweetheart home?" Chenchen asked, extremely curious.
"What are you saying? This is utterly disgraceful for a man and a woman to be alone together so late at night!"
"Oh! I see, that's because it's not officially recognized yet." Li Hao said knowingly.
"You talk too much, get to work," Leng Tianyi said, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
