When she hurried to open the door, Xie Qing guessed in her heart that the people knocking on the door should be Tan Yi and Chai Yu.

She opened the door...

Chai Yu raised the plastic bag in his hand and said with a smile: "We are here to give gifts!"

Tan Yi changed into a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Although he was still wearing the same gray casual suit and jeans, he no longer had the air of a veteran cadre, but had a more gentle taste.

He was holding a bulging camera bag in his right hand and a black plastic bag in his left hand, and smiled at her reservedly.

This smile was extremely lethal, and gentle was not enough to describe it. The word "scumbag" would be more in line with his temperament.

This is definitely a chameleon!

Xie Qing felt her heart thumping wildly, and quickly forced herself to look away.

She said, "You are too polite."

Tan Yi said, "You should be too polite."

Xie Qing invited the two in and led them to the living room.

Chai Yu sat down, put the plastic bag on the coffee table, and took out an exquisite gift box. "Brother Chai carefully considered your requirements, picked and chose, and finally found a set of four treasures of the study. This is made of ceramics, not expensive and beautiful."

This is OK.

Xie Qing's eyes lit up, "You sent me a pillow when I was sleepy. My study is just missing a set of four treasures of the study. Thank you, Brother Chai."

Chai Yu looked at Tan Yi proudly, "I still have good taste, right?"

Tan Yi said, "Little Xie, you don't have to thank him. His gifts are not suitable. This set of porcelain is from my house. Just thank me."

Chai Yu originally didn't want to give a gift, and he would think of it later when he found a suitable one. But Tan Yi wanted to give one - he didn't dare to come to Xie Qing's house alone. If someone saw them, it would have a bad impact on Xie Qing, so he found a way to get Chai Yu to go along.

Chai Yu didn't care about his cutting off the source of the trouble. "If I hadn't come, Xiao Xie wouldn't have this set of porcelain. Do you think she was thanking you or me?"

Xie Qing went to the refrigerator and got three cans of Coca-Cola. "Thank you all together. We all appreciate it."

Chai Yu raised his chin towards Tan Yi as if to show off.

"Childish." Tan Yi opened the camera bag and plastic bag. "Xiao Xie, here is a camera body, three lenses, a polarizing lens, various filters, a flash, a large box of film, and a tripod."

"Great." Xie Qing opened a can and handed it to Chai Yu, and then opened another one and handed it to Tan Yi.

Then, she took out the camera body and lens, put them together skillfully, took a picture of the two of them, and laughed, "Haha, it's so complete, thank you Captain Tan."

Xie Qing seldom laughed like this, but when she laughed like this, it meant she was really happy.

Tan Yi felt very happy, but said, "You asked me for help for so long, and I only delivered it today. I should say sorry."

Xie Qing said, "Captain Tan, this equipment of mine was borrowed from my brother, right? No matter what, I should be the one to thank. Thank you Captain Tan and Brother Chai for supporting my brother."

Chai Yu said, "You criminal detectives are terrible. Sister Qingqing, can't we do a little less reasoning?"

Tan Yi took a big sip of iced alcohol. Le, "Xiao Xie is right, the company has people coming, and they also brought the camera. They plan to conduct an on-site inspection and then listen to your brother's plan. From a business perspective, both parties will reach an agreement only when they feel it is suitable."

Xie Qing nodded, "I understand what Captain Tan said, and I also want to thank you for giving my brother such a good opportunity."

The Xie family has no power and no wealth, so how could the Tan family make sacrifices for their shallow friendship?

To put it another way, even if she really wanted to sacrifice something, she would not accept it without reason!

Chai Yu burped, "Xiao Xie, just for you and your brother's understanding and kindness, I want to persuade my brother and your brother to cooperate."

"Brother Chai, you are flattered." Xie Qing said with a smile, "Captain Tan is right, business is business, you can't force it."

"Okay, it depends on their fate, I won't worry about it." Chai Yu stood up, "How is the second floor decorated, can we take a look?" There were

many people at that time, and most of them were colleagues, so he couldn't ask to visit the private area, but now he can try.

Xie Qing said: "Of course. The second floor and the roof can be seen, but everyone was busy playing games at that time and forgot about it."

...

The three of them went up to the second floor together.

The decoration of the second floor follows the style of the first floor. The bedroom is mainly pastoral style, and the stairwell is industrial style. Cement and red bricks are the main colors. It is tough and simple. The log-colored small cabinet and high-end orange single sofa placed in the corner add a little warmth.

The study is very large, with a log-colored desk in the middle and large bookcases of the same material on both sides.

A simple round wooden board with annual rings is inlaid in the middle of the ceiling, surrounded by cement sunflower petals. A lamp hangs down from here and falls on the top of the desk.

There is a huge glass screen behind the desk, behind which is a 1.2-meter single bed with a set of turmeric bedding on it - it can be seen clearly through the glass.

Chai Yu said, "Screens are usually placed for privacy, but this glass thing is so private."

Tan Yi walked to the screen and looked at the small black words written on it, "This is useful, I will make one later." Chai

Yu then saw that there were words written in marker on it - Shen Yi's case, Shi's case, etc. were listed.

He sighed and said, "Work and life are inseparable, you two will be exhausted sooner or later."

Tan Yi liked this "you two" very much, and said with a smile, "This is determined by the nature of the work, and we have no choice."

"You two..." Chai Yu glanced at him, and when he saw him shaking his head slightly, he swallowed his previous words, "Let's go to the rooftop and take a look. We live by the sea every day, but I haven't seen the sea for a long time."

Xie Qing put the study on the desk, not noticing the quarrel between the two, "Let's go, let's take the camera and take some pictures."

Tan Yi said, "Okay, you give me the film then, and I'll be responsible for developing and enlarging."

Chai Yu adjusted his hair in front of a small mirror in the bookcase, "I haven't taken pictures for a long time, Old Tan, make me look more handsome."

Tan Yi took the camera from Xie Qing's hand, and when he saw her go out, he also went over, looked left and right, and thought there was no flaw, so he left the study.

Xie Qing went back to the bathroom to tidy up and lightly applied some lipstick. The roll of lipstick was colored, and it would have been gray without color.

When she left, Tan Yi and Chai Yu also came out.

Chai Yu asked, "There are only three floors of stairs, how do we get up?"

Tan Yi walked to a cabinet on the north wall, "Is it here?"

Xie Qing raised her thumb, "Captain Tan has a keen eye."

Tan Yi opened the door and saw a few thick winter coats hanging inside. There was a round secret lock behind the coat. After unlocking it, an iron staircase appeared behind it...

The three of them went up to the roof.

There was an iron fence around the roof, with a large fixed sun umbrella in the middle, and a set of rattan tables and chairs under the umbrella. There were also two relatively large flower beds on the north and south sides, but there were no flowers planted inside, only black soil.

"Xiao Xie knows how to live." Chai Yu leaned on the railing and sighed, "I also want to buy a villa."

Tan Yi took two photos of him, "Your job is more special than mine, let's not do it."

Chai Yu waved to Xie Qing, "I'll take photos with sister Qingqing."

Xie Qing walked over and stood beside him.

Chai Yu leaned on the railing with his hands, and no matter whether he looked from the front or from the back, he seemed to be hugging Xie Qing affectionately, "Old Tan, please take better photos."

Tan Yi felt a little sour in his heart, but Xie Qing didn't say anything, so he had to bear it, "Don't worry, I have to take good photos for Xiao Xie."

Tan Yi took two empty shots first.

The scenery in the camera is beautiful - the afterglow of the setting sun lights up the waves, there are dense cirrostratus clouds above the horizon, two fishing boats are sailing towards the pier, seagulls are constantly taking off and landing, and occasionally one of them breaks into the camera, which adds a different sense of movement.

Xie Qing is wearing a red and black contrasting small plaid long shirt, paired with a pair of black pencil pants, her long hair is blown by the spring breeze, and her eyes fall on the camera, as if looking into his eyes.

Tan Yi used a zoom lens to take two individual photos of Xie Qing first, and then added Chai Yu to take a group photo with great reluctance.

Chai Yu was very happy, "I'll take a picture for you two."

Thinking of Chai Yu's photography skills, Tan Yi was even more disgusted, "Look carefully before you take the picture, take a panoramic picture, don't take a close-up picture. You are not good enough, I can edit the panoramic picture, but I can't take a close -up picture.

" Chai Yu took the camera, "Stop nagging, I'll stand right next to you to take the picture, it won't be bad anyway."

Tan Yi snorted, "You should squat a little, otherwise it will be easy to take a picture of Xiao Xie with a 5:5 body shape."

Chai Yu said, "You are so nagging."

Tan Yi said, "You haven't made any progress even after you have been nagging so many times."

...

The two of them kept talking back and forth, neither of them giving in.

Xie Qing felt like an electric light bulb - she didn't think that the two of them were gay, but she felt that the tacit understanding between childhood friends would occasionally make outsiders jealous.

Tan Yi was not as presumptuous as Chai Yu, he stood beside Xie Qing properly and let Chai Yu take three, four, five or six pictures.

It was sunset time, not only the sea view was beautiful, but also the sunset.

Tan Yi used a tripod, taking photos of people, scenes, and occasionally a group photo. It took more than an hour and two rolls of film.

It was dark after the photo shoot, so the two of them stayed and cooked dinner with Xie Qing to finish the leftover mantis shrimp from lunch.

...

After leaving Xie Qing's house, Chai Yu said, "Xiao Xie is a very comfortable girl. To be honest, I haven't been so happy for a long time."

Tan Yi said lightly, "Me too."

For more than ten years, this was his most relaxed and happiest day. He had colleagues who got along well with him, childhood friends who had a life-long friendship, and a girl he really liked.

For him, every minute and every second was precious.

Chai Yu said, "Xie Qing is very smart. I think you can discuss your brother's case with her."

Tan Yi looked around vigilantly, "I'm afraid of dragging her into this."

Chai Yu said, "If you don't drag her into this, will she not get involved as a member of the task force? Old Tan, don't be silly. The faster this case is solved, the safer you will be."

Tan Yi hesitated. This was true, but he was afraid that he could not hide his feelings.

Chai Yu said, "It's not appropriate for you to come alone, but you can find someone to cover for you, such as me, or Xie Chen. Her family bought a billiard table, and we can play mahjong here. It's perfect."

Tan Yi said, "I'll think about it."

Chai Yu looked at the four old men coming towards him, and asked, "Then Wan will stop bothering you, right?"

Tan Yi said, "Don't worry, what I'm best at is saying no."

Chai Yu smiled, "You and Qingqing are both great at this, and you make it impossible for people to say anything."

Tan Yi said, "How difficult is that? Just don't give them a chance."

"Xiao Tan, Xiao Chai, is the view upstairs beautiful?" Old Master Jiang asked with a smile.

Chai Yu said, "Very good, Grandpa Jiang, although Xiao Xie's house is the smallest, the scenery is very nice."

The old man smiled and said, "Then we must have a good visit someday."

Lao Fan and Lao Fan nodded together.

Chai Yu and Tan Yi had no say in Xie Qing's house.

Tan Yi smiled and said, "Invite a few grandpas to have tea someday. Chai Yu and I will go back first."

The two went west and east respectively and returned home.

The old man said, "The little girl from the Xie family is gone. It's a pity for Xiao Tan. My Na Wan doesn't have that luck."

Old Master Jiang said, "Although I don't interfere with the marriage of my children, I am still very happy that she rejected my Han Zhi and chose Xiao Chai."

Old Fan said, "How do you know that the little girl Xie chose Xiao Chai?"

Old Master Jiang said, "They were all covered up when they were upstairs."

Old Fan nodded, "I saw it too."

Old Fan smiled and said, "This couple is a good match."

The four of them continued to circle while talking.
