It was already half past eight when they left Tan Yi's house. It was drizzling.

The brother and sister walked home leisurely.

Xie Qing held the rain with her hand for a moment, "Spring rain is as precious as oil. I wonder if it will get heavier. My little garden should be watered."

Xie Chen said, "It's okay. If it doesn't rain heavily, I'll help you water it tomorrow morning." Xie

Qing took back her hand and put it in her trouser pocket, "No need. You finally got a day off. I'll water it in the evening."

"That's true." Xie Chen looked around and said in a low voice, "Qingqing, big brother is very conflicted now."

Xie Qing said, "Big brother feels pity for Tan Yi on the one hand, but he is afraid that I am in danger on the other hand, right?"

Xie Chen said, "That's it."

Xie Qing said, "Don't worry, I'm just a little forensic doctor, you just need to pay more attention to safety."

Xie Chen took out the key and opened the security door, "Our grandfather is a university professor who only knows how to write books, your brother, I'm not a big problem."

His words reminded Xie Qing.

Tan Yi in the book liked Xie Yun, and Xie Yun was fine. Is it because the Xie family has no political background, or because... Is this a bug?

She thought about it, followed Xie Chen into the house, locked the door, changed into slippers and went upstairs.

Both siblings were tired.

They took a shower, changed clothes, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Xie Qing lay on the soft big bed, trying to recall all the supporting characters related to Xie Yun in the book, but as soon as the plot began in her mind, she fell into a deep sleep.

A dreamless night. Xie Qing slept until seven o'clock. She wanted to stay in bed

for a while , but suddenly remembered that she had not prepared breakfast, so she quickly got up, packed up, changed into a white sportswear and went out. ——There is a tofu pudding stall at the entrance of the community. Come at seven o'clock and close at seven thirty. If you are late, there will be nothing to eat. Yesterday's rain was not too light, and there was some water on the cement road in the community. Xie Qing had her hair in a ponytail and was wearing white sneakers. She walked around and skipped over the puddles and headed towards the door. Tan Yi stood in front of the window holding a cup of hot water, watching her skipping past. He was ready to say hello, but they never met each other's eyes. He felt a little regretful, but also thought it was natural. He returned to the dining table, picked up his chopsticks, and started to eat the first fried dough stick. "Ring, ring, ring..." When the mobile phone rings at this time, it usually means nothing good. Tan Yi walked to the tea table a little nervously and picked up the phone - it was his grandfather calling. He answered it. "Grandpa." "Xiao Yi, have you eaten?" "I'm eating, how about you?" "Grandpa has finished." "How are you feeling recently?" "Xiao Yi, your grandma is in trouble." "What's wrong?" "The doctor said she has cardia cancer." "..." Tan Yi felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, making him feel cold all over. After a long while, he finally found his voice, "Can it be cured?" Grandpa Tan said, "First surgery, then chemotherapy, it will probably take two to three years." Tan Yi said, "So, I'd better solve the case as soon as possible, right?" Grandpa Tan said, "Silly grandson, grandpa doesn't have that idea. Some things can't be done by forcing. Grandpa just wants you to come back once in a while to see your grandma. She just says she hates you. , I still miss you in my heart." Tan Yi's nose was sore, and he raised his head quickly, "I understand, otherwise she wouldn't come out to scold me every time I go there." Grandpa Tan said, "It's good that you understand. She is still recuperating and will have surgery in eight days." Tan Yi thought for a while, "I'll try to go back before the surgery, so as not to upset her after the surgery." Grandpa Tan said, "You can come back when it's convenient for you. There's no rush." ​​... The grandfather and grandson hung up the phone. Chai Yu happened to come down the stairs, "Who needs surgery?" Tan Yi returned to the dining table, "My grandma, cardia cancer." "Really?" Chai Yu walked over quickly and sat down beside him, "Where is the cardia, is it serious?" Tan Yi looked gloomy, "Probably the junction of the stomach and esophagus, my grandfather said it's in the middle stage." Chai Yu patted him on the shoulder heavily, "She can't get over it, it has nothing to do with you." Old lady Tan never had a physical examination. She always said that since Tan Rong was dead, she was suffering every day she lived, and the sooner she died, the sooner she would be reborn. Moreover, if you are in a bad mood, your chances of getting cancer will increase. Tan Yi ate a spoonful of tofu pudding, "I also hope it has nothing to do with me, but the fact is..." Chai Yu interrupted him, "Old Tan, please stop torturing yourself, otherwise what's the difference between you and your grandmother? She is old, it's normal for her to get cancer..." "Ring ring ring..." The mobile phone rang again. It was a call from the office of the Second Brigade. Tan Yi said, "This time it's really something." He picked up the phone and heard Fu Da say, "Captain Tan, the head of the Finance Department of Fuguang Machinery Factory committed suicide in the office last night, but his family insisted that he committed suicide. Feng'an Branch asked the Municipal Bureau for support." Tan Yi asked, "Has the forensic doctor been arranged?" Fu Da said, "Not yet, I'll call Xiao Xie right away." Tan Yi said, "Okay." Tan Yi hung up the phone. Chai Yu said, "Fuguang Machinery Factory is a state-owned enterprise. The head of the finance department committed suicide. His identity is very delicate. I'm afraid this case is not that easy. Otherwise, you can take a few days off. Qingqing is so capable. It will be the same even if you are not here." Tan Yi stuffed the remaining half of the fried dough stick into his mouth, washed it down with tofu pudding, and said, "She is a forensic doctor. It is not right for her to be a doctor."

Chai Yu said, "We've solved quite a few cases."

Tan Yi went to the bathroom to rinse his mouth, took out a black jacket from the closet and put it on...

Chai Yu said, "Aren't you going to call Qingqing?"

Tan Yi put on his backpack, "No, it's better to avoid it."

Chai Yu walked over with a fried dough stick and asked in a low voice, "Do you like Qingqing?"

Tan Yi gave him a stern look, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just don't want to implicate her." Chai Yu said, "If not, Old Tan, you're just trying to cover up your true colors, don't you know? We're from the same unit, the same community, and we're all at the same scene. What's wrong with that?" Tan Yi opened

his mouth and said, "I don't know if it's because you're trying to cover up your true colors. I ... Chai Yu looked at his back suspiciously, "Really?" Tan Yi turned around, "My brother's case hasn't been solved yet.
