Chapter 119 Chapter 119 Meeting Ji Mingcheng couldn't believe it...
After discussing the relevant matters for going to the provincial capital, they still had a lot to prepare.
After all, with so many people going together, the biggest problem is where to live.
Even though there is still half a month left, we can't wait until we get there to prepare the house.
Not only is it too late, but it's also easy to not find a suitable house at all.
However, although Qiu Hengan and his wife had been to the provincial capital, they had few friends and connections there, so Qiu Jiang took the initiative to take over the job to reassure them.
The couple used to treat her as a child, but after seeing her become more independent and capable after becoming a police officer, they gradually began to look upon her as an adult.
Seeing her promise, they no longer doubted that she could get the job done, so they let her go ahead and do it. Even if the budget was a little larger, it would be no problem. After all, they had received news from the provincial capital that they had secured a surgery quota for them through discussions between the doctor in Hong Kong and the provincial capital, so they immediately waived half of the surgery fee.
Now, they, who were originally short of money and even considered taking out a loan, can finally put their minds at ease.
Since the family's current savings are more than enough to cover the cost, and since the surgery fee is already enough, it is important to make the family live more comfortably within our means.
Especially over the years, Qiu Hengan felt that he owed them, and he couldn't do it if they lived too poorly.
Therefore, the rent they offered Qiu Jiang had a wide range, as long as it didn't exceed two thousand, and they only needed to stay in the provincial capital for half a month. In this era when the average salary in the provincial capital was only about one thousand yuan, it was actually a good choice to spend two months' money of an ordinary person to live for half a month.
I just want to live next to the affiliated hospital, and it’s actually not that easy to choose a house.
So Qiu Jiang chose to ask Guo Kai for help.
As it was almost evening, Qiu Jiang called Guo Kai and came to his house on her pink bike, carrying some liquor, fruits she had bought, and homemade food.
Firstly, I wanted to thank him for helping me contact a doctor in the provincial capital last time, and secondly, I wanted him to help me find out about the situation in the provincial capital.
Guo Kai's family is all in the provincial capital, except for his cousin who lives in Anxi. In order to take care of him more conveniently, Guo Kai rented a house in his cousin's community, but he usually eats at his cousin's house.
As soon as he smelled the smell, Guo Kaili accepted it. "This bun is really delicious. Just for this bun and the side dishes, Brother Guo has to help you with this matter."
Qiu Jiang couldn't help laughing, "Thank you, Brother Guo."
"Why thank you? I might need your help again in the future."
"Then you are welcome to come see me anytime, Brother Guo."
She has always been outspoken and not at all shy like other girls of her age. Moreover, since she was brought up by Chen Da, Guo Kai really liked her and immediately invited her to dinner.
Qiu Jiang smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to, but unfortunately I have no stomach. Next time, I will definitely come and ask for a meal."
"Okay, Brother Guo, you're welcome to come anytime."
They chatted for a while longer before Qiu Jiang said goodbye.
After walking out of their community, she rode her bike slowly back.
Compared to when it was still daylight when we arrived, it is now dark, but the lights on both sides of the road are bright, illuminating the moonlit night like night pearls, making it as bright as day.
In this beautiful night scene, she couldn't help but think of Ji Mingcheng.
"I don't know what's going on with Team Ji?"
She muttered to herself, still feeling a little uneasy.
After riding for a while, she slowly pulled over, found Jia Wang's number and dialed it.
The call was connected immediately. Amidst the clamor, Jia Wang's tired yet excited voice echoed, "Jiang Jiang, why are you calling?"
Qiu Jiang blinked and asked hurriedly, "Brother Jia, how is your investigation of the case going?"
"Who? Qiu Jiang?"
Suddenly a familiar cold voice sounded.
Season team.
"Yes, Jiang Jiang called." Jia Wang replied.
"What's the matter?"
"Jiang Jiang asked how our case was going."
"Ask her where she is now. She's just in time for dinner."
"Hey, okay." Jia Wang repeated Ji Mingcheng's question.
How come they still have the mind to eat? Why do they feel like their case has been solved?
Qiu Jiang was confused and reported the place, then asked where they were.
"Do you remember where we had skewers last time?"
I remember that very clearly.
"Then come quickly. We just sat down and haven't eaten yet. You're here just in time."
She wasn't hungry, but she was really curious about the situation of their case, so she said to him, "I'm not far from there, I'll be there soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, a new voice came from the other side.
"Hello."
A magnetic and pleasant voice reached her ears.
Qiu Jiang moved her ears and called out obediently, "Captain Ji."
"Where?"
She named the place again.
"Wait, don't move. I'll be there soon."
Qiu Jiang got anxious when she heard this. "It's not far. I'm on my bike and will be there in a moment."
"Be good and wait."
As soon as she heard his voice, she could tell that he was in a good mood. Plus, the phone had been hung up, so she had no choice but to move the car to the curb and wait for someone.
The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle a few days ago, as if spring had quietly arrived. However, since yesterday, strong winds have been blowing, and the cold wind is biting, as if we have returned to the cold winter in an instant.
She knew it was not warm outside, so she wrapped herself up quite warmly. However, the wind was blowing from all directions and soon she was freezing and jumping around like a little chicken, hoping to warm herself up.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal.
The more she jumped, the colder she felt. The wind seemed to penetrate every pore and tried to drill into her body.
This is too... too cold.
She shivered repeatedly and began to shake unconsciously.
“Huff, huff.”
She rubbed her hands together and blew on them, and finally her hands were not so cold anymore. But she knew that if she stayed in this horrible weather any longer, she would definitely have a fever tomorrow.
Thinking of this, she was particularly looking forward to seeing a person, and her eyes fell on every car passing by.
However, she never saw the one she wanted to see.
Just as she was waiting anxiously, she heard the beep of a car.
Qiu Jiang looked up.
At a glance, I saw a red Jetta parked on the side of the road, not the black jeep that Ji Mingcheng usually drove.
The car also honked at her several times.
Qiu Jiang had a hunch that their season team was sitting inside, so even though he had some doubts in his heart, he still walked over there.
As she walked to the car window, she saw it rolling down little by little, slowly revealing the handsome yet grumpy face of their team member.
"Why is this car window so slow?"
Looking at his face which looked a little annoyed because of rolling the car window, Qiu Jiang couldn't help laughing.
Ji Mingcheng caught a glimpse of her smiling and stopped shaking in anger. He sat back in his driver's seat and then got out of the car with his long legs.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw her laughing and shivering from the cold. Ji Mingcheng asked unhappily, "Is it so funny?"
Qiu Jiang immediately shook her head like a rattle, "No."
She smiled and said, "I just realized that Captain Ji isn't proficient in everything. He was quite cute just now."
Ji Mingcheng missed a beat, he seriously suspected that this girl was teasing him.
But she looked so serious that it was hard to tell whether she was joking or had some ulterior motive.
He was unhappy, and even his actions in carrying her car were a little rough.
Qiu Jiang was heartbroken now. "Captain Ji, be careful, be careful."
God knows how much she likes this little pink that is so easy to ride.
She has come across so many bicycles since then, but none of them attracted her. If it were broken, she would not know where to buy an identical one.
"A bicycle is quite precious to you."
He said this, but his hands were a little lighter. After stuffing her little pink into the trunk, he asked, "Let's go."
"Okay." Qiu Jiang was still smiling, and seemed to be in a good mood no matter how you looked at her, except that her nose was red and she looked a little aggrieved.
After getting in the car, they drove all the way to the barbecue restaurant next to the Municipal Bureau.
In the passenger seat, she pinched her nose and sniffed.
Ji Mingcheng handed her a pack of tissues and shook it.
Qiu Jiang didn't hesitate, "Thank you, Captain Ji."
After taking the tissue, she rubbed her nose hard, which immediately made her nose redder than before, causing Ji Mingcheng, who was looking at her sideways, to frown.
"You're being too hard on yourself."
She didn't understand, "Cruel?"
"Forget it, just continue."
"……oh."
She used three tissues before her nose stopped running. Just as she was about to ask what the case they were handling was all about, he beat her to the punch.
"What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?"
"Ask Brother Guo for help."
Ji Mingcheng frowned and asked, "Is it related to the provincial capital?"
Team Ji is really smart.
Qiu Jiang sighed in her heart and did not hide it from him. She told him about the surgery and also reserved half a month for vacation.
When she said this, she clasped her hands together and blinked her eyes, and she almost had the five big words "Please agree to it" carved on her forehead.
"Did I say no?"
Qiu Jiang's eyebrows lit up with joy, "Thank you, Captain Ji."
Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, "You're being very obedient at this time, but there's one condition."
"What are the conditions? Just tell me."
"I have a house in the provincial capital that's almost covered in dust. You guys can go over there and help me warm it up and clean it up."
He said casually.
Qiu Jiang was not stupid, so how could she not understand what he meant? He was obviously saying that because he was afraid that they would have no place to live in the provincial capital.
She was so moved that she burst into tears, but also a little depressed, "Captain Ji, now I owe you two favors."
"You owe me two, so I don't ask you to pay back any more than that."
Qiu Jiang: "..."
"Well..." She hesitated and said carefully, "I mean, I not only owe you a favor, but also Brother Guo."
Not all of them are referring to you.
She said silently in her heart.
Ji Mingcheng couldn't believe it, "I don't even have two favors for you?"
Are you still on par with Guo Kai?
It really made him depressed and grit his teeth.
Qiu Jiang didn't expect him to react so strongly, and hurriedly explained, "No, no, isn't it because I'm closer to you, Captain Ji? You definitely help me more, but I treat you as a close person, so I don't count all your kindness to me as favors. It just means we're closer."
She argued with sweat on her forehead.
Ji Mingcheng accepted it reluctantly and carelessly.
However, this girl has always been very sweet-mouthed.
"Are you sure it's true?" he asked again.
Qiu Jiang immediately held up her hand and swore, "The truth is truer than gold."
After saying this, Ji Mingcheng's lips curled up slightly, "That's more like it."
call.
Passed.
Pretty easy to coax.
Fortunately, extremely fortunate.
Whether it was coaxing him or finding a house to live in the provincial capital, it was enough to make people feel lucky.
"Oh, by the way, I have to tell Brother Guo to save him from further trouble."
She quickly called and explained the situation, and then the two hung up the phone.
At this moment, Ji Mingcheng just stopped the car.
It turned out that we had arrived at the barbecue restaurant.
"You go ahead and I'll stop the car."
"OK."
As soon as Qiu Jiang got out of the car, Jia Wang caught her and shouted, "Jiang Jiang, this way."
“Here I come——”
She ran over and quickly sat down in the tent. Seeing that the table was already filled with various skewers of meat, she took a deep breath and looked intoxicated.
“It smells so good.”
"Yeah, we keep coming here to eat because we're dying of hunger."
"This little smell makes me greedy."
Qiu Jiang held her stomach tightly. She had clearly eaten a full meal before coming here, but now she was so hungry.
"Come on, come on, take whatever you want. Captain Ji ordered a lot, but he didn't serve it because you guys weren't here. Eat first, I'll ask the boss to bring the other food."
"Hmm." She lowered her head and took a bite of the lamb kebab.
The sizzling mutton skewers are wrapped with cumin, chili powder and other seasonings. The aroma of meat and seasonings are perfectly blended together. Combined with the barbecue flavor, one bite will leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth, and the aftertaste is endless.
Ji Mingcheng sat down and saw that her eyes were narrowed while eating, so he picked up a mutton skewer to eat.
He ate without saying a word and just focused on eating.
When they had a little more food in their stomachs and were not as hungry as before, they both stopped eating almost at the same time, saving space for the delicious food later.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she could finally ask her questions.
"Is the case finished?"
"Smart." Jia Wang applauded her, and at the same time was proud of himself for participating in such an efficient case.
"The case has been handled, but Captain Ji's car was also seriously damaged." Wang Li said at this time.
Qiu Jiang's eyes widened a little. "The car was damaged? What happened?"
"Well, that murderer is just a jerk. He's good at fooling people, and he's pretty ruthless. He ran when he was discovered, and when he saw he couldn't escape, he got really mad. Luckily, our teammate Ji was a skilled driver, so he didn't hit us. But the front of the car was pretty badly damaged."
The others nodded vigorously upon hearing this, and everyone felt a pang of pain.
After all, they only knew that Team Ji’s car was expensive, but they didn’t know it was that expensive.
That car might be worth more than they could earn in their entire life, and it was still damaged like that.
My heart aches.
