After going out, Xu Yao walked back and forth in the yard in front of the interrogation room. He was only wearing a white shirt with a sweater on the outside, with his sleeves rolled up, and his hair was messed up by himself. It

was 2:30 in the afternoon, and the winter sun was warm on the body. At this time, Xu Yao was covered with a layer of heavy light behind him, much like Lucifer falling from the sky in mythology.

All of this was seen by Mo Xiaoqing who came over with a cup of coffee. Her heart seemed to skip a beat, and she felt both palpitations and heartache.

Xu Yao's complexion became worse and worse, and the dark circles under his eyes became heavier.

Mo Xiaoqing was very worried that Captain Xu's insomnia was getting worse. The pressure of investigating the case recently can be imagined, and she was afraid that Captain Xu's body could not bear it.

When he looked up again, Xu Yao had already taken out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette skillfully, and smoked it.

Mo Xiaoqing ran over without saying a word, stood on tiptoe, took the cigarette out of Xu Yao's mouth, and threw it into the trash can beside him.

Soon, Xu Yao's veins popped out, he hated someone controlling him to smoke.

But he looked up with a sullen face and saw that it was the petite Mo Xiaoqing standing next to him, staring at him with puffed cheeks, and it seemed that he could still see sparkling mist in her eyes. He swallowed all his anger back.

"Captain Xu, you promised not to smoke again. If you keep smoking like this, your body will collapse." Mo Xiaoqing advised sincerely.

Xu Yao was actually a little bit at a loss. He stretched out his right hand and touched the back of his head, smiling awkwardly.

"Haha, you really saw me. You still have work to do, why did you come here?"

Mo Xiaoqing handed the coffee in her hand to him, and spoke hesitantly, "I... I actually... just came back from the cafeteria after eating, and remembered that Captain Xu was interrogating Wang Tao, and might not have eaten lunch yet.

I came here to ask you what you want to eat so that I can get it for you in the cafeteria."

When Xu Yao heard this, the smile on his face became wider and wider, and soon a whole row of white teeth were exposed, which was very beautiful.

"Not bad, even Mo Xiaoqing has learned to care about her superior now!"

Mo Xiaoqing blushed slightly, and she didn't intend to continue to argue with Captain Xu, so she asked seriously, "Captain Xu, what do you want to eat?"

Xu Yao thought for a few times, stretched his muscles, turned around and said, "Thank you, anything is fine."

Mo Xiaoqing was silent for a moment, and asked seriously, "Then how about ice cream?"

After hearing this, Xu Yao almost laughed out loud. He put his hands on his waist, trying hard to hold back his smile, and repeatedly said,

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong. We big bosses will be very hungry if we don't eat for a meal. If you see any meat dish, just give me one."

Mo Xiaoqing nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned back, blocked in front of Xu Yao, and stretched out his right palm.

"What are you doing again!"

"Captain Xu, you'd better hand it over!"

Xu Yao asked in confusion, "Hand over what?"

"What else can it be? Of course it's cigarettes and 500 yuan." Mo Xiaoqing deliberately raised her voice to give herself courage.

"Hey," little guy, you are cheating me. You want to charge 500 yuan for a meal and running errands. You are too mean! "

Captain Xu, you really are a forgetful person. Not long ago, you promised me that I would supervise you to quit smoking. We agreed at that time that if we caught you smoking once, you would fine yourself 500 yuan.

Don't think that you can deny it just because you are my boss!"

Mo Xiaoqing stretched out her hand again, "Hand over the money and cigarettes."

Looking at Mo Xiaoqing's stubborn, tightly pursed lips and firm eyes, Xu Yao was actually a little scared, and really took out the cigarettes from his pocket and handed them over.

"And another 500 yuan!"

Xu Yao pursed his lips, and reluctantly took out his wallet from his trouser belt, opened it, and counted his dear Grandpa Mao's bills one by one.

He suddenly felt a little painful, but he really brought this upon himself, and no one could help him.

Mo Xiaoqing skipped away with the cigarettes and 500 yuan.

Li Yalin, who happened to pass by, also saw the interesting scene, and her eyes were extremely complicated.

She really couldn't believe that Xu Yao had done such a childish behavior.

Everyone in the police force knew that Xu Yao was a heavy smoker, and no one could persuade him to quit smoking. Anyone who mentioned it to him would blush and get angry.

It was hard to imagine that Xu Yao would obediently hand over his cigarettes to a little assistant, and the magical thing was that he didn't even have the slightest anger.

Instead, Xu Yao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled from time to time.

Such an abnormal behavior can only prove one thing, that there is always someone stronger than you, and Xu Yao is willing to give in to a little woman.

Lin Yalin is actually very jealous in her heart, but what can she do?

She has been secretly in love with Xu Yao for more than five years. Every time she wants to muster up the courage to confess to him, she swallows the words back at the end.

She always thought that Xu Yao was such a picky person, it should be difficult for him to find the destined person who would always make his heart beat.

But now Li Yalin began to feel a sense of crisis. She watched helplessly as the man she had been thinking about was getting farther and farther away from her.

All she could do was watch from a distance, sigh, and finally turn around and leave silently.

Xu Yao did not wait for Mo Xiaoqing's meal there, but just sent her a WeChat message, asking her to put the meal in the office.

Xu Yao went straight to the office of his master He Shenming.

It was only 1:40, and Xu Yao's knock on the door disturbed Deputy Director He's nap.

Xu Yao didn't care about that. After waking up his master, he pulled him to sit at the desk and reported to him the whole process of Wang Tao's trial.

"Master, in your opinion, can we consider the condition of exchanging a surveillance backup for Wang Tao's acquittal?"

He Shenming answered directly, "Do I even need to ask this? An acquittal is impossible. But if we can guarantee that the physical characteristics of the mysterious man can indeed be identified in that surveillance backup, then it is definitely a major clue.

As for whether Wang Tao can be acquitted, it is all up to the court to decide. When the police are investigating a case, there is indeed a saying of making meritorious contributions while serving a sentence, so when the court sentences Wang Tao, as long as he takes the initiative to provide useful clues, he can be given a lighter sentence.

Therefore, Xu Yao, your top priority is to get Wang Tao the surveillance backup in his hands as soon as possible.

The sooner the better!"

Xu Yao immediately stood up and saluted, "Yes, I'll arrange it now."

After Xu Yao came out of He Shenming's office, he immediately returned to the office to organize the information.

He almost forgot that he hadn't had lunch yet. He looked up and saw a sticky note on the computer screen:

Captain Xu, remember to eat on time!

He nodded with satisfaction, opened the plastic box, and ate with big mouthfuls.

While eating, Xu Yao thought of a compromise. After eating, he immediately went to meet Wang Tao.
