The two of them, one washing and the other putting away, cooperated well and ended the battle in three to five minutes.

Xie Qing made a pot of Longjing tea and went downstairs with Tan Yi.

Chai Yu was not good at playing billiards, and Tan Yi had no desire to watch the game, so he just walked around the carpenter's workbench.

Xie Qing found two hand saws, "Captain Tan, do you want to try it?"

Tan Yi glanced at the neatly piled good wood in the corner, "I don't know how to do it, it's such a waste."

Xie Qing kicked under the workbench, "There's a large wooden board here, I plan to saw off the rotten parts around it and make a tea board for my master."

Tan Yi held the workbench and looked down, and saw a large, strange-shaped wooden board lying quietly on the ground.

The two long ends of the board were badly rotten, which affected the natural beauty of this wood.

"I can do this." He smiled and squatted down, pushing the board forward from the workbench, "Xie, help me lift it."

Xie Qing had already walked to the other side, and worked with him to put the board on the workbench.

Secure it.

Xie Qing demonstrated, easily sawed off a small piece of the rotten part, and then handed it to Tan Yi.

Tan Yi followed her example, leaning forward slightly, doing up and down swinging movements...

Two minutes later, the saw's movement path was crooked. If it went all the way to the end, it would inevitably cut off the good part.

Tan Yi returned the saw to Xie Qing, "It looks easy, but it's actually very difficult."

Xie Qing started sawing again and completed the part he had not completed.

She asked in a low voice: "Did Captain Tan visit Mayor Shen?"

Tan Yi sat down on a chair beside her. "We met briefly, but we talked about everything we needed to talk about."

Xie Qing stopped talking and sat down next to him. "What did you say?"

Tan Yi said: "Mayor Shen's father did not participate in the war in the early 1970s, but he participated in the 1964 National Defense War and was awarded the Red Plum Medal. As a result, the Shen family was treated like heroes in the local area."

The sawdust in the air settled, and Xie Qing opened the lid of the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Tan Yi continued, "Chai Yu has inquired through channels in the capital, and the case that Jiang Hanzhi was in charge of was the same. The ancestors also had a military background, but they won the Red Plum Medal in the war in the early 1970s. Although you are just guessing, you may have really found the right direction."

Xie Qing said, "They are both wars, but they are the same war. Is it only related to the medal? How come this murderer has red eye disease and specifically targets war heroes?"

"Hehe..." Tan Yi laughed, "I have to say, what you said makes sense."

He smiled while watching Chai Yu and Xie Chen playing basketball. He didn't dare to give Xie Qing a look, for fear that his eyes would root on her face and let the fox-like Chai Yu and Xie Chen see something.

"Tsk!" Xie Qing exclaimed in astonishment, "One war is hard enough, and there are two more. In this case, even if we can limit our focus to the capital, the number will still be astonishing."

Tan Yi thought without hesitation, "No matter how many people there are, as long as it is confirmed that there was a war, we will have a clear direction. In addition, where there is war, there are sacrifices, and where there are sacrifices, there are descendants. I think we can also start with the money my parents took out that year and investigate the company that became popular rapidly at that stage. If the legal person is a descendant, then combining the two, maybe I can We now have a more specific object of investigation."

Xie Qing closed the lid of the teacup with a "snap" and said with a smile: "Captain Tan is wise."

Tan Yi shook his head, "So many years have passed, how can he still be wise?"

Xie Qing said: "Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, which shows the great power of the group. The progress was slow in the past, firstly because the authorities were confused and weak; secondly, didn't Captain Tan feel that the opponent had been watching you in the dark? In this case, how much can Captain Tan do? It's terrifying to think about it!"

Tan Yi took a chance and glanced at Xie Qing.

Xie Qing met his eyes and felt her spine suddenly revived. She blinked quickly, "What's wrong? Was I wrong?"

Tan Yi said, "That's right, you are right."

He just felt that he had no charm in front of Xie Qing. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make this little girl throb for him.

Six years old, is the difference really that big?

Am I old?

He touched his cheek subconsciously.

Xie Qing had no idea what Tan Yi was thinking, but she was really shocked just now.

Her consciousness was a little scattered, and she subconsciously reflected on herself - Tan Yi did have a good-looking appearance, but no matter how good-looking his face was, it was not as important as his life. Now is not the best time to fall in love, at least we have to wait until the SQN case is over. Maintaining such a close yet distant relationship is good for everyone.

Xie Qing is a forensic doctor, and her respect for life is far greater than the empty love on the spiritual level.

She calmed down and started a new topic, "If the higher-ups agree with Captain Tan's judgment on the machinery factory case, then Captain Tan can take the opportunity to go home and confuse the other party, which may have unexpected results."

Tan Yi whispered, "You guessed it again."

Xie Qing's heart skipped a beat. It is said that boys don't like girls to be too smart. Is she like this... Well, if Tan Yi is like that too, it only shows that to her, men are really dispensable creatures.

She said, "Captain Tan, this is not a guess, it's just normal reasoning. And I suggest that Captain Tan, it's best not to drive back."

She is concerned about my safety.

Tan Yi was happy again, "Well, I'll take the train back."

...

The machinery factory case involves many people, the investigation is difficult, and the progress is slow.

Although Xie Qing is not working in the office of the Second Brigade, thanks to Li Ke, she knows the progress of the case very well.

On April 5, Qingming Festival, the Economic Investigation Brigade withdrew from the machinery factory.

There is also news that Chen Zhicheng made up the embezzled money - he did not embezzle public funds for personal use, and returned them within three months, so he does not have to bear criminal responsibility.

There was no progress in the case, and the main culprit was released. The Second Brigade could not find any clues, so it inevitably relaxed and focused on other cases.

On April 7, Tan Yi took leave and returned to Beijing.

That evening, Xie Qing received a bank card sent by Xie Yun, which was her commission of 118,000 yuan.

The two sisters had no common language, and Xie Yun looked at the thriving roses in the small garden for a while before saying goodbye and going home.

After she left, Xie Qing watered the flowers while thinking about the plot in the book: Why did the murderer never kill Tan Yi even though he knew that she liked Xie Yun?

Was it the heroine's halo?

A bug?

Or did the murderer have a crush on Xie Yun?

In the book, after Xie Yun became rich, she not only bought several houses, but also did a lot of charity and attended many charity galas, which cost Guan Yangzhi, a selfish man, a lot of money.

Logically speaking, charity has the greatest impact.

Is the murderer the head of the charity?

Thinking of this, Xie Qing laughed. Without any evidence, the charity became the criminal's umbrella in her imagination.

The probability is too small.

Xie Qing thought that the charity gala was unnecessary for her, but she should help those who should be helped.

At that time, the economy was not developed enough, and there were few employment opportunities. Many college students who were admitted to universities faced the pressure of tuition and living expenses, and their lives were extremely difficult.

On the one hand, she could ask Xie Chen to help her donate to charity organizations, and on the other hand, she could subsidize some college students who were in financial difficulties...

Thinking of this, the alarm clock in the living room rang.

Xie Qing trotted to the kitchen and took out the last pot of milk-flavored cookies from the oven.

This was her return gift to several grandfathers. Because there were so many people, she baked several pots.

Xie Qing packed the biscuits into several brown paper bags and sent them to the four grandfathers who often greeted her.

Grandpa Jiang and that grandfather were very polite and brought her gifts in return.

Grandpa Fan was a little cold and didn't even let her in. Only Grandpa Fan was the most enthusiastic. He not only tasted the biscuits, but also said a lot of good things about her.

The next day, Xie Qing went to work as usual. As soon as she arrived at the office, she received a call from Xie Chen.

"Qingqing, did you know that grandma is going to Beijing for surgery today?"

"I don't know. What's the situation?"

"Intestinal polyps, adenomas and polyps. I heard that the risk of cancer is high."

"Oh, what do you need me to do?"

"We don't know anything. If possible, you can take a leave and go to Beijing with me."

"Well... I'll try to take a leave."

...

Xie Qing has never taken a leave since she came to the Municipal Bureau, so she took two days off smoothly.

Before nine o'clock, she got on Xie Chen's car and rushed to the Affiliated Hospital of Jinghua University at 12:20.

Because of the fear of cancer, Mrs. Chen found out yesterday and arrived in Beijing today.

Jingda Hospital is one of the best hospitals in the country. It is extremely difficult to get a bed. The Chen family spent a lot of money to get a triple room.

The other two beds were occupied by men, one of whom was a smoker, and the air in the room was extremely bad.

Old Mrs. Chen sat on the bed with a stern face, not saying a word.

Chen Yuehua and her two sisters smiled and kept comforting her, asking her to be patient for a few days and she would be fine after the operation.

Xie Qing stood at the door and watched the excitement. It was the first time she saw Chen Yuehua pretending to be a grandson, and she felt it was quite novel.

A few minutes later, Xie Yun came in sweating profusely, pulled Chen Yuehua outside the ward, and whispered, "Mom, Gu Ling said it would be good to get a bed, but a single room is impossible. I just looked up and down the stairs, and there are indeed no empty rooms."

Chen Yuehua was a little dissatisfied, but she knew in her heart that this was not Anhai, and no matter how rich Gu Ling was, he could not compare to the people in Beijing.

She said with a sullen face, "Okay, don't bother, let your grandma bear it for a while."

Xie Yun glanced at Xie Qing, hesitant to speak.

Xie Qing knew what she wanted to say. There was such a plot in the book, but Xie Yun was looking for Tan Yi at the time, and Tan Yi directly arranged a single room, and there was no such plot as a three-person room.

Tan Yi did owe her a favor, but she didn't want to use this favor on Old Lady Chen.

In any case, the three-person room was not impossible to live in, and Old Lady Chen wasn't that nice to her.

Who doesn't have a little temper?

After all, she's not the Virgin Mary!
