Chapter 257 I suspect this man has a mental problem
Zhou Qi looked at his wife who was acting like a spoiled child, cupped her cheeks and said lovingly, "Okay, I'll care about my wife and not others."
Li Ying didn't know that Zhou Qi and his wife were jealous of this matter.
After coaxing Chenchen to sleep, she went to the study to study forensic medicine.
Since she had promised Master Xu to help investigate Tian Aiai's death, she couldn't go in empty-handed. She had to find some similar methods in cases throughout history.
Li Ying read until very late. She didn't know what time it was when she heard some noise in the yard. The yellow dog that she had kept in the yard was taken back to Zhou Qi's home. There was no such animal as a dog in Li Ying's courtyard.
That was something making a noise.
Li Ying became alert, walked to the door, touched the door handle, but pulled her hand back.
Maybe it's a thief?
In the early days of reform and opening up, many people began to get rich, but many people also began to steal.
Before things became clear, Li Ying felt that she should not act rashly, or at least not be too reckless.
So she stood at the door and listened quietly to the movements in the yard.
Sure enough, the noise became much quieter, but Li Ying could clearly feel the footsteps, which were getting closer and closer, approaching her.
Li Ying's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She took a step back and touched a wooden stick behind the door. It was also her foresight to remember to put a stick in the house.
Holding the stick tightly, Li Ying held her breath, waiting for the other party to pry open the door and then kill him with one strike.
After a long while, the voice slowly left the door, with no intention of prying it open.
After the yard was quiet, Li Ying put down the stick.
She had previously seen a psychological test online that said your reaction when encountering a thief could prove your mental state. People who could wait at the door with a stick were mostly mentally abnormal.
Thinking of this, Li Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly.
People with mental illness also have the right to live. Is there anything wrong with protecting themselves?
In the morning, while eating, Li Ying asked, "Did you hear any noise last night?"
"No movement?" Leng Ci shook his head: "No."
Yinshu said carelessly: "Sister Ying, did you hear anything? Why didn't you shout? If you had shouted, I would have rushed out immediately and smashed him to death."
Li Ying smiled and said, "You must lock the door at night. It might be a thief trying to steal something."
"I thought I heard something," Aunt Yang said, putting down a plate of pancakes and sitting down. "I went to bed very late and heard something. I thought it was a night owl, so I opened the door to check. I saw a dark figure running away, and I thought it was a thief. I went to the market a few days ago and heard that many homes have been burglarized recently. I also heard that they are going to strengthen security here and set up a patrol station in each village."
Although Aunt Yang didn't know what the patrol department was, she knew that it was the police who protected every household.
Li Ying remembered that there were such patrol departments everywhere in the imperial capital in later generations. It seemed that they were established at this time.
"Is there really a thief?" Yinshu stood up and patted his chest and said, "I'll be on guard tonight. I'll see if that fool dares to come to our house and steal things."
Li Ying waved her hand: "Not really. Just protect your valuables."
"I don't have anything valuable, my life is the most valuable." Yinshu said while chewing a pancake.
Aunt Yang smiled and said, "Yes, our lives are precious, so what are things?"
Nothing was lost and no one was hurt, but Li Ying still had to consider the safety of her entire family.
Zhou Qi used to live in a courtyard house and was very considerate.
It seems that I need to hire a bodyguard.
Li Ying just wanted to hire a bodyguard when someone came to report for duty during the day.
"Sister-in-law, I, Chen Ping, am here to report."
Li Ying was puzzled: "You are..."
"I am a retired soldier. I used to work under Captain Ye. The day before yesterday, Captain Ye asked someone to find me and asked me to follow my sister-in-law." Chen Ping briefly stated his identity. Afraid that Li Ying would not believe him, he also showed his discharge certificate.
Li Ying was satisfied, because Ye Jingchi had also thought of what she had thought of.
"Then it's your turn from now on. There's nothing much to do at the clinic during the day, so just go back to the courtyard and stay with Aunt Yang and Chenchen."
"I'll take you there." Yinshu was very happy to see such a handsome and upright young man, and enthusiastically led Chen Ping back to the courtyard.
Li Ying thought Yinshu was really cute.
The phone at the clinic rang and Li Ying answered it.
"Has Chen Ping gone?" It was Ye Jingchi.
"Come here, how did you think of arranging someone for me?" Li Ying felt that they were in sync.
"I've been wanting to arrange someone for you, but I haven't found the right one. But then I thought of Chen Ping. This young man is capable, steady, and down-to-earth. He hasn't found a suitable job since he retired from the army. Plus, Zhou Qi called me yesterday and said he spotted some suspicious people around the courtyard. I wanted to ask for leave, but there's an operation going on here, so I can't take leave for the time being. I can only let Chen Ping protect you."
Ye Jingchi briefly explained the situation.
It turned out that the man had thought of it from the beginning. After all, Nan Shiran had not been caught yet, and that woman was a hidden danger at any time.
"Jingchi, you are so nice."
Ye Jingchi felt ashamed after hearing this: "Yingying, I owe you too much over the years. I should have been with you, but now you need others to protect you. I am really not qualified as a husband."
"Ye Jingchi, you can't do this. You are a useful talent and you can't give up your career just for love. I understand you and will take good care of myself and Chenchen. Don't worry."
After saying a few words, Li Ying hung up the phone.
When she turned around, Li Ying was startled. She didn't know when Cao Xinqiao was standing behind her.
"Comrade Cao, are you feeling better?"
Cao Xinqiao's body was still swollen, and his glasses could hardly cover his swollen eyelids.
"Much better. Come to thank Dr. Li."
Thank her?
It was Chi En who gave him the injection and prescribed medicine, so he shouldn't thank Chi En.
"We are all doctors. There is no need to express gratitude."
"No, I must say it. I heard from Xinping that you were involved in Ai Ai's murder. I want to thank you on her behalf."
Li Ying frowned slightly. Cao Xinqiao had been indifferent to Tian Aiai before, but now he suddenly called her Aiai. It was really different.
"Didn't Mr. Cao break off the engagement with Miss Tian?"
"I originally wanted to cancel the engagement, but after we spent some time together, I felt that she was still suitable to be my wife. In fact, we were planning to get married in a month, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. I'm also very sad." Cao Xinqiao couldn't cry anymore.
"Don't worry, the police station will definitely find the murderer of your fiancée." Li Ying always felt that his words were somewhat specious. She couldn't describe the feeling, but she just felt uncomfortable.
"Mr. Cao, I remember you were trying to perform a high-level surgery to replace the heart of a heart patient?"
