Chapter 25: Waiting



As soon as he got in the car, Tan Yi picked up his mobile phone.

"Hello, I'm looking for Captain Li."

"That's me, Captain Tan, please go ahead."

"Captain Li, immediately send a group of people to the Miao family and closely monitor all the actions of the Miao family."

"Why, do you have any clues?"

"Yes, we'll talk about it in detail when you're free. Captain Li, remember to send a few more people, the murderer has extremely strong anti-detection capabilities."

"Okay, okay, don't worry."

Tan Yi put down the phone and glanced into the alley. Miao Xiaohong and Lei Guang did not enter the yard, as if they were saying goodbye to their neighbors.

Fu Da asked, "Has Captain Tan locked down the Miao family?"

Li Ke reminded him, "Miao Dachun is at least 1.85 meters tall."

"Yes." Tan Yi started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the alley, passing two alleys and stopped again, "Old Liu, Brother Fu, thank you for your hard work, let's see if Miao Xiaohong can do anything."

Fu Da was a little confused and said "Ah".

"Okay." Liu Feng pulled Fu Da out of the car and quickly went into the alley.

Li Ke perked up, "Captain Tan, what should I do?"

Tan Yi said, "Come with me to Lei Guang's house."

Li Ke didn't understand, "Lei Guang is not at home."

Tan Yi said, "But the Lei family's money is very likely at home."

Li Ke seemed to be thinking about something, "Oh... Captain Tan just hinted at Lei Guang on purpose. If they are guilty, they might transfer the stolen money. Eh? No, Lei Guang has a wound on his leg, it can't be him! There was no sign that the Lei family's door had been pried open, and their leather shoes were missing, so Captain Tan suspected that Miao Xiaohong took the key to the Lei family and gave it to Miao Dachun, and Miao Dachun deliberately put on Lei Yan's shoes and stepped on them to leave footprints to confuse us."

As expected of a criminal investigation student, he reacted quickly and could piece together the case with just a few clues.

"I understand." Li Ke turned around and squinted at Xie Qing proudly, "What about Qingqing? Is she with us?" Xie Qing

said, "Since we are just squatting, there is no need for the police car. I will be responsible for driving the car back to the police station."

Tan Yi smiled. What a smart girl, she is not competitive and knows everything.

Li Ke was surprised again, "You dare to go on the road now?" After getting Xie Qing's affirmative reply, he said, "I'm okay in school, but I get nervous when I go out."

Xie Qing leaned back in the chair, "It's okay, you have a solid foundation, just practice a few more times and you'll be fine."

Tan Yi brought the topic back, "Did Lei Miao add anything this time?"

"No, the little girl just cried." Li Ke said, "I think it's not that she is not strong, she is really only concerned about studying, and she knows nothing about family affairs. The less she knows, the more guilty she feels, and the more guilty she feels, the harder it is to extricate herself."

Tan Yi asked again: "Did the Lei family's neighbor add anything?"

Li Ke said: "She said that Lei Miao's mother has a good relationship with her parents-in-law and rarely talks about her parents-in-law. She knows a little about the Lei family's private affairs. She just knows that when Lei Miao's mother's demolition money is about to come, Lei Guang's family will come. "

Did she say that in front of Miao Xiaohong?"

Li Ke said, "No, she said, 'Oh, sister-in-law, you guys have been here a lot these days, but you didn't notice anything wrong? They didn't tell you anything?' Then Miao Xiaohong said, 'Sister, don't you know that my sister-in-law is very strict? If nothing happened, we wouldn't know about the demolition payment.'"

She imitated the two women's speaking tones like a schizophrenic, cute and funny.

Xie Qing said, "Very good, the picture is there, and Li Ke's middle-aged image comes to mind."

Li Ke said, "Get lost, I'm not like that when I'm old."

Tan Yi laughed again.

Maybe the case has been solved, and everyone is in a more relaxed mood. They went to the Leijia community to discuss the case.

Tan Yi got out of the car, but did not leave immediately. He carefully observed the back of the police car for a while.

Li Ke asked curiously, "What is Captain Tan waiting for?"

Tan Yi said, "I remember you just said that Xiao Xie rarely drives on the road."

"Oh, right..." Li Ke stuck out his tongue, "It's okay, she drives pretty steadily, right?"

Xie Qing saw the two of them motionless through the rearview mirror, and she thought it was a bit strange at first, but considering Xie Xun's reaction, she understood.

After returning to the police station, he was busy all afternoon. When he went to the cafeteria to eat in the evening, he didn't see Li Ke and the others come back.

Du Zhun was muttering at the table next to him, "Hey, what about the guy in Feng'an District who's so shocked?"

Wang Zheng said, "Brother Du, don't listen to their nonsense. It's only been a few hours? They're just talking a lot of nonsense."

Du Zhun said, "That's true! If you don't do this for three days and three nights, you'd be embarrassed to say you've done it."

Xie Qing shook her head helplessly. This Du Zhun was nothing.

They stayed there for half a night, and it wasn't until midnight that Xie Qing saw Li Ke, who had been replaced.

The little girl walked into the office with her head down and pouted, saying, "I don't want to go on a mission with Captain Tan again."

Xie Qing poured her a cup of hot water and handed her a bag of milk biscuits. "What's the matter?"

Li Ke tore open the bag and took a bite hatefully. "Boring, nerdy, and critical."

Xie Qing: "..."

Li Ke said, "I just said a few more words. He told me to pay attention to discipline when lurking, and also Ask me how my college teacher taught me? Humph, why should he care, my teacher taught me well. "

Xie Qing: "..."

Li Ke took a big gulp of water, "Isn't he just a little handsome, what's so great about that? I've been waiting for a whole day, but I still haven't found anything?"

Xie Qing: "..."

Xie Qing had heard of Tan Yi's name in the provincial department. His nickname was Sherlock Holmes Tan. He had been working for seven years and he had never had a backlog of cases (cases that he couldn't solve) on his hands.

She also agreed with Tan Yi's opinion on the Lei family case, as well as the criminal method of "beating the grass to scare the snake" to make the murderer deliver evidence to the door.

However, she felt that Li Ke's self-esteem was frustrated. He was not really angry, and he didn't really curse her. He just treated her as a trash can and dumped it.

This was indeed the case. After finishing the water and the biscuits, the little girl felt sleepy.

Li Ke yawned and said, "I feel much better after talking about this. Do you want me to accompany you? If so, I'll stay here for one night."

Xie Qing said, "No, the second and first brigades have people on duty. I'm not afraid. You go to sleep."

Li Ke left, and Xie Qing also got on the camp bed.

It was a peaceful night.

The next morning, Xie Qing met Tan Yi while eating in the cafeteria.

Tan Yi sat down in front of her for the first time. His plate contained two eggs, a glass of milk, four slices of fried steamed bread, and a portion of boiled wontons.

Xie Qing greeted politely, "Good morning, Captain Tan."

"Good morning." Tan Yi went straight to the point, "So far, there has been no movement from either side. I suspect there is something wrong."

Xie Qing nodded, "I agree with Captain Tan's idea. Let's think about it carefully?"

Tan Yi said, "That's exactly what I mean."

The two exchanged opinions briefly and then said nothing more. They finished their meal quietly and left quietly.

Xie Qing washed the "manly" sheets on the cot, tidied up the dormitory, and went home.

There was no one at home, so Xie Qing went to bed after taking a shower until she was woken up by the laughter from downstairs.

She stretched herself and grabbed her watch to check - it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Xie Qing let her mind wander and slacked off for a while until she felt the urge to urinate, then she put on her clothes and got out of bed.

The sound of the flushing probably startled the people downstairs.

There was silence downstairs for a moment, and then there were dull footsteps on the stairs. "Who is there?"

Xie Qing pushed the door open and came out. "Brother, I'm at home. I was on duty last night and just woke up. When did you come back?"

Xie Chen apologized and said, "I woke you up. I didn't expect you to be at home."

Xie Qing said, "Don't worry. I've slept for six or seven hours. It's time to wake up."

Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Come downstairs quickly. We have brought you gifts, including food, drinks, clothes and accessories."

Xie Qing simply brushed her hair twice, combed it into a small bun, and followed Xie Chen downstairs.

Xie Qing greeted politely.

Chen Yuehua was in a good mood and smiled for the first time. "Your sister and I picked out two pieces of clothing for you, and your brother also bought you some jewelry. You should try them on."

Xie Yun also said, "You have changed a lot recently. I didn't know what you like, so I bought two pieces according to my and mother's tastes."

As she spoke, she took out a bag and a box from the pile of bags and handed them to Xie Qing together.

"Thank you, mom. Thank you, Yunyun." Xie Qing took it. "You have good taste. It must be a good match for me."

Chen Yuehua said, "It's rude. Call me sister."

Xie Yun said, "Mom, calling me by my name is fine. We were born together. I don't like being a sister."

Chen Yuehua glared at her. "Child, you are older by a second. What's wrong with being a sister?"

Xie Chen said, "I have the right to say this. An older brother must take care of his younger sister. I have heard this since I was a child, and my ears are numb. Yunyun and Qingqing are the same age. Why should we tell who is older because of a few minutes? It's obvious that there is no throne to inherit in our family."

Chen Yuehua threw the empty bag in her hand over. "You little rascal, you feel uncomfortable if you don't make me angry for a day, don't you?"

Xie Chen took it with a smile.

Xie Qing understood that Xie Chen had done some ideological work for them. Although Chen Yuehua didn't like her identity as a forensic doctor, she probably didn't want to be awkward all the time, so she compromised to some extent.

The mother and daughter took into consideration the nature of her work and bought casual items - a beige windbreaker and a set of American denim brands, neither of which looked fancy. To

show her appreciation, she immediately put them on and tried them on.
