Chapter 61

Li Qingyao said "hmm", this was similar to what she had guessed.

However, the bun in her mouth suddenly lost its taste. Chen Pu saw that she was depressed and said, "Since you have decided to walk this road with me, you must learn to be optimistic about everything. I always feel that as long as I keep walking, I will never look back no matter what happens. Even if it is a dark road now, one day, I will meet Li Jincheng again at the end of the road."

Li Qingyao's nose was sour, but his face was calm: "I know, my psychological endurance is much stronger than yours, okay?"

"Yes, yes, you are the best." Chen Pu said, "Eat your buns quickly. Don't pick a fight with anything but food. Only when you are full will you have the strength to beat up the bad guys."

He spoke like he was coaxing a child. Li Qingyao sneered, and the dark cloud in his heart dissipated.

She is no longer the girl who blamed herself and cried all night long because of her brother's disappearance, nor is she the child who was at a loss because of the heartbreak of her first love.

She didn't brag to Chen Pu. Sometimes she felt her heart was hard, like a dry mud that had lost all its moisture and could no longer become wet easily. She looked at everything in this world with cold eyes, watching the joys and sorrows of others, but she was only willing to be a bystander. Because she had experienced the saddest separation in this world when she was 18 years old.

She was able to be so good at everything in the office, because that person was not her at all, but a persona that she felt was necessary. She had a smart enough brain and sensitive enough interpersonal touch to deal with it all. But later, Chen Xiaopu tried hard to expose her, so she had to abandon her persona.

Like him, she also stubbornly believed that after her long and arduous efforts, maybe on a gentle moonlit night, maybe on a sunny morning - just like this morning, she would definitely meet her brother again. And she had thought it through long ago, and she was willing to give her life for that day.

So what Chen Xiaopu said is really right. Working hard, being energetic, emotionally stable, and optimistic about everything are the magic weapons to complete this journey.

Li Qingyao raised his eyelids to look at him and said softly, "Brother, you are really good at coaxing children."

Chen Pu felt as if his heart had been electrocuted and his ears were burning. The first thought that came to his mind was that this girl was easy to please and had a strong heart. With just a few words from him, she was revived. The second thought was...

He lowered his head, looking like he wanted to laugh but trying hard to hold it back, carefully picked up a bun, and continued to coax: "Call me brother again, and Chen Xiaopu will work like a slave for you."

Li Qingyao snorted, "Aren't you already working like a slave? Why should I give more?"

Chen Pu: ...Damn!

Li Qingyao had a great start early in the morning and happily finished the remaining two buns. He was slightly stunned and slowly put down his chopsticks.

Chen Pu had already recovered from the sweet "brother". The criminal police had good eyesight and understood what was going on at a glance. He was a little incredulous: "You didn't eat a basket of buns?"

Of course, it’s not that Chen Pu thinks that she can’t eat more, but compared with her previous appetite, the difference is a little bit big.

Li Qingyao finally blushed, which was rare, and said angrily: "It's none of your business! Who said I'm not full?"

Chen Pu tried his best to hold back his laughter, and gave her three buns from the buns in front of him, while making various excuses for her as if nothing had happened: "We have been so hard-working these past few days. I woke up hungry in the middle of the night yesterday. And we don't know what time the lunch will end today. Eat a little more to fill your stomach. At most, we can only have two meals today. By this calculation, you still eat too little."

Li Qingyao then relaxed her expression a little. Originally, she didn't want to lose face and eat anymore, but looking at the white, soft, round and fragrant buns in front of her, the feeling of being hungry was really not good. She still had to investigate a case today, which concerned human lives... With a cold face, she picked up the buns one by one and ate them.

She still had some conscience, so she asked Chen Pu, "Do you have enough to eat?"

Chen Pu said, "That's enough. Boss, three more tea eggs please."

When Chen Pu put one of the peeled tea eggs on her plate, Li Qingyao could already continue to eat it calmly. Chen Pu looked very satisfied and said, "I was serious yesterday. You will look better if you are fatter."

Li Qingyao was full. He picked up the free and cheap tissue that Chen Pu had brought over, wiped the corners of his mouth with an elegant and delicate motion, and said, "You probably don't understand. Women don't keep in shape for the sake of others' comments, especially men's. I want to keep in shape just to be healthy, to look good in the clothes I like, and to feel happy when I look in the mirror every morning."

Chen Pu agreed with her and said: "I am just expressing the audience's opinion, you can ignore it."

Li Qingyao laughed: "With your old-fashioned taste, who would dare to care?"

Chen Pu was not happy with this. He was known as the flower of the police academy and the grass of the police station. When it comes to fashion, Chen Pu never admits defeat. It's just that in recent years, he thinks he has become more mature and prudent, so he doesn't care about appearance as much as in previous years.

Chen Pu, the former fashionable boy, now felt like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog. He said depressedly: "How can I be called an old cadre? I am only five years older than you."

Li Qingyao glanced at his face with a very judgmental gaze, then at his clothes, and sneered: "Look at your hair style, it's a buzz cut from a quick haircut at the supermarket entrance for 15 yuan, right? It doesn't suit your face shape at all. Look at your clothes, they are always black and gray, and you are dark-skinned. How can you be so confident that you are not a veteran cadre?"

Chen Pu thought that the quick haircut was to save time. The barbershop he went to before would take an hour to get a haircut, which was a waste of time. He looked down at his clothes and was shocked to find that he really couldn't find himself again! Although the T-shirt was still a big brand, he bought five at a time to save trouble and because the black color was stain-resistant...

"Do you also wear a black jacket in autumn?" Li Qingyao asked a fatal question.

Chen Pu: "...So what?"

"The same style as Lao Ding?"

Chen Pu: ...

Black jackets are the standard for old detectives. They look energetic, formal, and durable. He is less than 150 years old and wants to be independent. Naturally, he learns from other old detectives and dresses maturely to give others confidence. Moreover, Lao Ding bought the same jacket at the vegetable market for yuan, while he bought the classic style at Givenchy store, okay?
However, the younger sister succeeded in her combo, and did not give him a chance to defend himself. She stood up very respectably and shouted, "Boss, pay the bill!"

"39."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Today, the first person they wanted to question was Qian Chengfeng, 32, Xiang Siling's ex-husband and Luo Hongmin's subordinate. It was said that Luo Hongmin had also facilitated their marriage.

Chen Pu said that Qian Chengfeng was a new person, so among the three family members, they should talk to him first. Perhaps they could find new perspectives or clues from this person.

Finally, investigate Li Meiling and her daughter in detail.

Li Qingyao thought for a moment and said, "Is it a bit like surrounding the city from the countryside?"

Chen Pu laughed when he heard it: "You are quite good at summarizing."

I haven't even written the established plot yet, and I'm already bored.

Just based on the interaction between these two people, I can write 80 words with my eyes closed.
