Chapter 31

Zhou Hui shook his head. "My mother is illiterate and doesn't know how to use mobile banking. This house was left by my father before he died. She rents it out to supplement her life. She goes there every month to collect the rent, and she only accepts cash. I reminded her to keep a copy of the tenant's ID card as a backup, and she did keep it, but every time the tenant changed, she cleaned up those things. When I was sorting out my mother's belongings, I didn't find those things."

After chatting with Zhou Hui, it was already past 1pm. Chen Pu was starving, and Li Qingyao's stomach was also growling. She asked, "Are we going back to the bureau?"

Chen Pu said, "If you want to starve me to death, eat first." Before she could speak, he added, "I'll treat you."

Li Qingyao shook his head: "You can't treat me every time. I never take advantage of others. Eat as much as you want today."

No matter how crazy this guy usually is, Chen Pu was still touched when he heard him say this.

As a result, Li Qingyao took him to the door of a fast food restaurant, where one meat and one vegetable cost 12.9, and three meat and one vegetable cost 29.9.

Even though Chen Pu had eaten worse meals in recent years, he still felt dizzy when he saw Li Qingyao standing in front of the service counter, diligently taking his plate for him, and making the waiter smile with just a few words.

Chen Pu sat down with a 29.9 yuan deluxe meal, and also got a bottle of 2 yuan soy milk and a bowl of free soup. Li Qingyao sat opposite him with a 12.9 yuan meal, and enthusiastically introduced: "I just asked, if the rice is not enough, you can get more for free."

Chen Pu replied in a muffled voice: "Thank you so much."

Li Qingyao raised his glass of soup and said, "Cheers, Captain. Although the clues are broken again, we are used to it. God will give great responsibilities to those who are capable. There will always be a day when the clouds will clear."

This made Chen Pu laugh. He condescended to take the free soup and clinked glasses with her.

Maybe he was really hungry, the 29.9 deluxe meal tasted pretty good, and he ate the whole plate. He scrolled through his phone for a while before Li Qingyao finished eating.

The two were used to following the rules when eating in the police station cafeteria, so they took their plates and sent them to the recycling window. At this time, a large group of blue-shirted workers came into the fast food restaurant, all sweaty and dirty, probably just coming to eat after work, and the restaurant was suddenly jammed.

A worker was carrying the same deluxe meal as Chen Pu. His foot slipped and the plate became unstable. He was about to hit Li Qingyao. Chen Pu was quick-witted and pulled Li Qingyao into his arms.

In the end, the worker's food was spilled - half of the plate of braised pork was spilled all over the side of Chen Pu's T-shirt.

"Sorry, sorry!" The worker was also panicked, for he was afraid that he would be asked to compensate for the clothes.

Chen Pu let go of Li Qingyao, tilted his head to look at the T-shirt with a large oil stain, frowned, and tilted his head: "It's okay, let's go, be more careful next time."

The two of them handed the plates over and got out of the store through the crowd. Li Qingyao looked at him and asked, "What should I do?" He smiled considerately but a little shyly, "How about you take it off and I'll take it back and wash it for you?"

Chen Pu didn't even look at her, he walked around to the trunk of the car and took out a clean T-shirt - he often went on missions and got dirty, so he left a few pieces of clothes in the car as backup.

It was strange that Li Qingyao didn't react when he was provoked. Unlike when he first came, he would jump up and down and make sarcastic remarks.

She then said faintly, "I bumped my head against your chest just now, it hurts a little."

Chen Pu replied calmly: "You deserve it."

She stood on one side of the car, and Chen Pu went around to the other side with the clothes.

Li Qingyao curled his lips and saw him bending down to take off his dirty T-shirt, revealing part of his back and waist. He thought to himself, "Oh no!" and immediately went around to his side.

Chen Pu was going crazy, he stopped halfway through taking off his clothes and said, "What are you doing here?"

Li Qingyao said confidently: "I want to get in the car."

"From that side!"

Li Qingyao didn't move, still supporting herself on the rear end of the car with one hand, hunched over, and asked with her chin in her hand: "Chen Pu, how many abdominal muscles do you have?" Chen Pu ignored her again, took off his dirty clothes and put on clean clothes in a lightning speed, then turned around and walked back to the store with the dirty clothes.

Li Qingyao: "What are you going to do?"

Chen Pu said coldly: "I can see that you have no common sense. It is best to wash oily clothes immediately. I will go borrow detergent from the waiter."

"Oh……"

Li Qingyao looked at his back and thought, isn't that a contradiction? His clothes are so expensive, but he is so proficient in the little household knowledge of hand-washing greasy stains, and he also likes to get discounts when buying things, and never misses the opportunity to get a bargain of a dollar or two.

He is really crazy.

-

Perhaps this meal had exhausted all of Chen Pu's patience with her, so he asked her to take a taxi back to the bureau and reimburse her. He continued to visit neighbors and neighborhood committees around Room 101 to see if he could find any clues, and claimed that this workload did not require two people. He pushed Li Qingyao back to continue investigating Gao Jichang.

So Li Qingyao bent over the computer and worked for another whole afternoon until his eyes became dizzy.

In addition to the commonly used communication software, she even went through all the email websites, big and small, to find Gao Jichang's account. Gao Jichang has been transferred to No. 29 Middle School for more than ten years, and this workload is extremely huge.

As dusk fell, Li Qingyao accidentally found a mailbox that Gao Jichang had used when he was 28 or 29 years old. Perhaps because it was so long ago, he had forgotten and had not cancelled it.

Li Qingyao was bored and rummaged through the sea of ​​advertisements and spam emails one by one. He looked through the inbox, the outbox, and finally the trash box, only to return empty-handed.

Her gaze paused.

There is a deleted email in the trash, which shows as unread and the title is a period. I don’t know if it was automatically deleted by the system.

The sender's online name is "The One Who Stays Out Late at Night" and the message was sent six years ago.

The body of the email only has two paragraphs:
[Teacher Gao, I am Xie Sijia. I have had a very hard time these years because you ruined my life a long time ago. I wrote this letter to ask you one question: Do you feel guilty when you wake up in the middle of the night? Were the things you did to me really out of love? Or out of shameful desire?

I hate you and myself. I hope we both die early because we are all too dirty.

Li Qingyao wrote down the new name "Xie Sijia" in his notebook and immediately called the technical department.

When Chen Pu returned to the office, the lights were already on. As soon as he walked in, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

Several people gathered around Li Qingyao's table with excited smiles on their faces.

Chen Pu calmly took off his police hat and threw it on the table, then looked up. Everyone turned around and looked at him, revealing Li Qingyao in the crowd.

She was a newcomer, sitting among a group of veteran detectives like a moon surrounded by stars. She looked at him and smiled happily, her dark eyebrows curved and shining, like a stream under the moonlight.

Yan Yong couldn't wait to say, "Boss, Qing Yao is awesome! She found the key evidence to convict Gao Jichang! This time the old beast can't get away! Three years is a done deal, and ten years is not a dream!"

Wow, even the kite has been called.

Chen Pu looked at her "steady and gentle" appearance in silence. He could easily imagine that if humans had tails, her tail would be high up to the ceiling at this moment, and would even shake it arrogantly at him.

He turned his head away from her sparkling gaze and couldn't help but smile as well.

Some readers misunderstood and thought that I am already a doctor. But they are overthinking. Being a doctor is not that easy. I am still an older "student".
