The eggplant box was delicious, and the fried fish went well with the rice, but in the end, they ate too much.

Xie Qing and Li Ke took a walk in front of the dormitory building to digest the food. Just after walking a circle, they saw Li Ji coming out of the building with a schoolbag on his back.

Li Ke waved his hand, "Pass, going to the hospital?"

Li Ji was not convenient to join the case, and he was relatively free, so he could continue to take care of his grandfather at home at night.

He said, "Yes, there is a shortage of money at home, I will go to keep an eye on it in the evening."

Xie Qing raised her eyebrows, "That's perfect, we will take you there."

"Really?" Li Ji suddenly became excited.

Xie Qing smiled, "Of course, Keke and I have eaten too much. It doesn't matter where we go. Why don't we go over and see if we can find any clues?"

"You're being stubborn again." Li Ji said sarcastically, "Look at how little you have accomplished." Li Ke

stamped his feet, "It's none of your business. I just love to eat."

"Okay, okay." Li Ji raised his hands. "If you love to eat, you love to eat. There's a restaurant near the city hospital that makes great barbecued chicken. I'll bring it to you someday."

Xie Qing turned the car key. "Are you going or not? If not, I'm going back to the dormitory."

Li Ji hurriedly said, "Go, go, go. We must go." Li Ke

rushed over and hugged Xie Qing's shoulders. "Our Qingqing is the best. She knows what I want to do."

On the way...

Xie Qing asked Li Ji, "I heard that you went to paint a portrait. Are you done?"

Li Ji said, "It's done. Captain Tan took it away."

"Then..." Li Ke tilted his head and thought for a while, "Will Captain Tan go to the hospital?"

Li Ji shook his head, "Captain Tan rarely tells anyone where he is, I don't know."

Xie Qing was not interested in where Tan Yi went, so she brought the topic back to the topic, "Who are the people in the water room, and how old are they?"

Li Ji said, "I'm the only young person, and the rest are middle-aged."

Li Ke asked, "Do you think there's anything suspicious?"

Li Ji said, "I really didn't notice. I feel that only the two people in front of me can be recognized by their portraits, because I took a glance at them when they left, and I have a vague impression, but I don't remember the others."

Xie Qing nodded and said nothing more.

What Li Ji said was true - if nothing special happened, who would care about the middle-aged people who were fetching water together?

Li Ji and Li Ke rode in her car for the first time, which was very novel. After talking about serious matters, they began to study it.

Li Ji said, "This car is powerful, but the interior is too bad."

Li Ke agreed, "It feels worse than Xiali."

Li Ji said, "Xiali is boring, this car is more powerful than Xiali, and it can climb hills and go off-road." Li Ke

said, "What's the point? I think comfort is more important."

Li Ji said, "Okay, whatever you say is what it is."

Li Ke glared at him, "What do you mean I say what it is, am I the kind of unreasonable person..."

...

Li Ke started to argue again, but Li Ji was not angry, and smiled and chatted with her.

Neither of them had that intention, but Xie Qing felt that if they were not considered to be in the same group, they would be quite suitable.

Li Ke is cute and simple, Li Ji is motivated, has a good personality, is meticulous, and is very tolerant of Li Ke.

However, thoughts are thoughts, and she would never do such a thing as matchmaking - office romances have many disadvantages, especially in a unit like the police station. Once the result is not good, it will affect both parties.

The car stopped at the parking lot of the city hospital.

Li Ke was sharp-eyed and saw Tan Yi's Santana at a glance. He said, "I knew it, Captain Tan is a workaholic and will definitely come."

Li Ji was not as reserved as Xie Qing and asked directly, "Little Li, are you interested in Captain Tan?"

Li Ke blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about, I just saw the car."

Li Ji said, "Don't say that I didn't remind you. Our criminal police team is not like other places. If I see it, others can see it too. At that time, there will be a lot of talk, which is not a good thing for you."

Xie Qing gave Li Ji a big thumbs up in her heart.

"What do you care?" Li Ke was hit in the heart, and he was too embarrassed to get back in the car angrily.

Xie Qing winked at Li Ji and told him to go first.

Li Ji knew he had said the wrong thing, so he made a please gesture and trotted to the hospital.

Xie Qing opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and took out a White Rabbit candy from the drawer and stuffed it into Li Ke's pocket.

Li Ke snorted and peeled off the cardboard, "Was my performance that obvious?"

Xie Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, everyone can see a little bit."

Li Ke stamped his feet again, "Don't laugh at me!"

Xie Qing said, "You are an adult, it's normal to like outstanding single people of the opposite sex, what's so funny?"

Li Ke was silent for a moment, and then said, "I originally hated him, but I still think he is not bad, just not bad, maybe I can't say I like him."

Xie Qing said, "I can't say I like him, but I am interested in him and want to pay attention to him unconsciously?"

Li Ke looked at Xie Qing vigilantly, "Do you like Captain Tan too?"

Xie Qing said, "I'm analyzing your psychology."

"Oh..." Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief, "It's best if he doesn't like me. Qingqing, do you think Captain Tan will like me?"

Xie Qing said, "We know Captain Tan together. If you don't know, then I don't know either."

Li Ke leaned back in the chair, "If he doesn't like me, but I like him, then the rumors will be bad for me, right?"

Xie Qing said, "That's what passing means. Your parents have also told you about it, right?"

There are many men in the police station, many outstanding men, and many outstanding married men.

Responsible elders will definitely give more reminders in this regard.

Li Ke said "um", "Qingqing, do you think I should ask Captain Tan?"

Xie Qing said, "It depends on your psychological endurance. You can assume that he doesn't agree. What will you do?"

Li Ke rubbed her hair, "It must be very embarrassing. Lao Du and the others will laugh at me. If the news gets to my dad, he might come to find Captain Tan." She shuddered, "Forget it. If my dad finds Captain Tan, I will be so embarrassed."

Xie Qing encouraged free love, but she couldn't encourage Li Ke to pursue Tan Yi. Tan Yi was good, and it would be a pity to miss him, but who knew how the plot would develop?

It's better for everyone to fulfill their dreams.

"Forget it." Li Ke made up her mind, "The disadvantages outweigh the advantages. I will endure it a little longer?"

Xie Qing was surprised, "Can you endure this?"

Li Ke took it for granted, "What else can I do?"

Can you endure loving someone?

Xie Qing was speechless.

However, it was rare for a young girl who had just entered society to be able to quickly see the situation and restrain herself.

Li Ke was open-minded and her temper came and went quickly. She happily followed Xie Qing to the fruit store outside the hospital, bought a box of milk and a basket of fruit, and went to Ward 506.

The old man of the Li family had some problems. Li Ji accepted the gifts and did not dare to let the little sisters in. He said, "Captain Tan came to see my grandfather. Did you meet him?"

Li Ke shook her head.

Li Ji was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he changed the subject, "The triple room is full, and the food tastes terrible. I won't invite you in to sit down. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Xie Qing expressed her understanding, "Why be polite? Go and help. Let's go to the water room."

Li Ji said, "Go down from 524, turn right on the third floor, and it's next to the bathroom."

...

In the hot water room on the third floor, more than a dozen people were queuing to get water, and a few middle-aged women were chatting with saliva flying.

"Sister, do you know what happened on the fifth floor? The police were here again just now."

"How could you not know? You have long ears to hear it.

" "Which floor are you on?

Did you hear anything?" "I'm on the second floor. I didn't hear anything . Did you hear it?

" "Of course I heard it. I was serving my mother-in-law at that time. I heard it clearly."

"Oh, it's scary. What did the police ask you?"

"They asked me if I heard footsteps in the corridor at that time and if I met any suspicious people when I went out."

"Then what did you say?"

"I didn't see anything. If I had seen it, the case would have been solved, right?"

...

Xie Qing listened outside, but didn't hear a single useful word.

Li Ke held her arm, "Qingqing, what are you thinking about?"

Xie Qing said, "I was thinking, if I were the murderer, would I come here before killing someone?"

Li Ke asked, "What's the conclusion?"

Xie Qing said, "I think I would. I'll check if there's anyone in the bathroom. It will be safer for me to wait for them to go upstairs before I take action."

Li Ke said, "So, you mean that I ran into the murderer?"

Xie Qing shook her head and pointed to the smelly bathroom. "Not necessarily. The murderer just needs to wait there for a while."

Li Ke thought for a while, "Yes, the murderer is guilty and it's better for him not to show up if possible."

"Let's go." Xie Qing turned around, "We still have to find out where the victim went after leaving the hospital during his hospitalization."

The two went downstairs and went to the communication room to ask the gatekeeper.

The old man said that he did see Hou Zian go out, but he didn't know where he went. He usually went out for a while in the afternoon.

The two went to ask the guard at the main gate.

The guard said that he had heard about Hou Zian, but there were too many patients entering and leaving the hospital every day, and he had never paid attention to this person. He told

Xie Qing that the deceased did not necessarily walk in front. There was a narrow street behind the inpatient department. There were many tricycles there, and it was easy to go in and out. Most of the patients' families went in and out from there.

So the two went back and went to the back door of the municipal hospital.

As soon as he went out, Xie Qing saw Tan Yi who was questioning the tricycle driver.

Li Ke said, "Captain Tan is really dedicated."

A captain doesn't have to go to such lengths.

Xie Qing said, "Let's go, we'll go help."

Tan Yi really didn't have to, but because of his job, he wanted to get to know the city better. After all, a criminal police captain who doesn't understand the people's sentiments and the streets is not a qualified captain.

The two of them went over together.

Xie Qing said, "Captain Tan, do you have any more photos?"

Tan Yi was a little surprised, "Why are you?"

Li Ke said, "We're here to help!"

Tan Yi took out two photos from his bag, "Thank you, you've worked hard."

Li Ke then noticed that Tan Yi had changed into new equipment, and immediately poked Xie Qing with his arm.

Tan Yi noticed that her eyes were on her new bag and said, "I asked a friend to send two to me. They are indeed more convenient than handbags."

Li Ke blurted out, "Girlfriend?"

Tan Yi's face was slightly cold, "No, I don't have the idea of ​​having a girlfriend recently."

Li Ke's face turned red again.

Xie Qing held her hand, "Captain Tan, let's go over there to ask. Call us if we have any news."

Tan Yi said "OK", turned around quickly, and went to a tricycle that had just stopped.

Li Ke stamped his feet, "What does he mean by that?"

Xie Qing said, "It should be a warning, but you don't have to worry about it. I think the warning is for both of us."

Li Ke originally felt that she had lost face, but after hearing what Xie Qing said, she suddenly realized, "That makes sense. He may think that we followed him here. Forget it, he doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. My mother always says that it's hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are many two-legged men."

After that, she took the photo and went to find someone.

Xie Qing felt that there was nothing wrong with Tan Yi's approach. If you know from the beginning that there will be no development between the two of you, just don't give him hope.

She breathed a sigh of relief for some reason and took the photo to find the tricycle driver.

Just after asking one person, Li Ke jumped up and shouted, "Qingqing, come quickly, he pulled over, he pulled over."

Xie Qing hurried over, and Tan Yi also came over automatically.

This is a human-powered tricycle, the owner is about fifty years old.

He said: "I have pulled this man twice, both times to Zhengyi Street, parked outside a store selling famous cigarettes and famous liquor."

Tan Yi said: "Please take us there."

The driver said: "No trouble, no trouble, why bother making money, three yuan per trip."

Xie Qing said: "Team Tan goes first, Ke Ke and I will follow in the car behind."
