Be in low spirits

Xiao Zhao retorted to him and told him to stop talking nonsense.

"Is he in a good mood? Why can't I tell?" She looked at the two of them and felt something was wrong.

Xiao Zhao waved her hand and said, "No." Li Li came back from outside and saw the three people standing in the corridor. He greeted them with a smile and asked Kong Zhixi directly, "Are the victim's family members in there identifying the body?" She nodded and said nothing.

Liu Yanjun was stunned with astonishment. It turned out that their boss could laugh. It was the first time they saw him laugh in two years, they had worked with him for two years. Xiao Zhao was also surprised, and the two of them communicated secretly with their eyes.

Li Li turned around and looked at the two young men who were not tactful. They understood what he meant and went away with the excuse of being busy.

The remaining two people leaned against the door, waiting for the person inside to come out. Hearing the crying, the family members were very upset and it would be difficult for them to come out for a while.

"Aren't you afraid that the medical examiner is your sister?" Li Li asked her to take out a mask from her pocket and put it on, and said, "Xiao Zhao and Xiao Liu should be left behind."

He found her expression funny and asked, "How long do you plan to keep this a secret?"

"It's none of your business." It's her business when to say it.

"Take it off. Your sister is not at the Municipal Bureau today." Seeing her wearing a mask, he could not figure out the changes in her expression.

"My master should have come." She still felt that running a forensic examination was a bit risky.

Li Li went in to find out what was going on, and when he came out he brought her a bottle of mineral water. Seeing him come out and lean against the door again, she asked curiously, "You are a captain, but you seem to have quite a lot of free time."

He helped her unscrew the bottle cap with some embarrassment and said, "Oh, yes, yes, there is something else, you go ahead." After saying that, he touched his nose, almost missing the important matter, and left.

Xiao Zhao and Liu Yanjun gathered everyone in the office to discuss gossip and solemnly announced that their boss was in love. People in the office quickly gathered around to gossip, which was more lively than when they were discussing the case. Xiao Liu exaggerated something and Xiao Zhao followed suit. Someone in the crowd asked, "Who is the partner?"

"The boss's mother often comes to the team. Is she here to supervise him in dating?"

"That's not right. Didn't you say you had someone to marry? Isn't the boss married?"

"Isn't his mother here to supervise his affair?"

"Who has seen the first daughter-in-law?"

"No, who should we find out first?"

"Yeah, who?"

Seven or eight people gathered together in the office, chattering, like a vegetable market.

"Listen to me, everyone. This is the person who was previously in the archives room. Sister Zhang was seconded here when she was on maternity leave."

"That cold goddess?"

"Who?"

"Nonsense. I heard from the publicity department that he's pretty easygoing."

"Oh, is she transferred from that police station? She's pretty and fair-skinned. Her last name seems to be Kong?"

"Oh, yes, yes. He looks quite aloof. How does one say that? His face is like ice, his eyes are like the stars."

"Didn't you say you were going to get married? Why didn't you do it?"

"Don't you know? I heard that the person he was going to marry passed away. His mother said that he rarely smiled since then."

"When did it happen?"

"It's been many years. Doesn't the one you're dating this time look very similar to the one you were dating before?"

Li Li saw a group of people gathered together from a distance. He walked lightly, approached them quietly, and asked, "Who is it?"

"The boss's girlfriend." The colleague standing in front of him replied casually.

"My partner? Who?" He didn't even know when he got a partner.

"I don't know. We were just talking about it." The group of people hadn't realized that the object of the gossip was among them.

"What? She is just being cold to us. I saw her chatting and laughing with her female colleagues in the office."

"Hehe, who wouldn't feel cold looking at you like this?" Li Li listened for a long time but still couldn't understand who the person they were talking about was.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt something was not right. Finally, they realized that the person being gossiped about was standing behind them. They quickly dispersed like birds and beasts, leaving Liu Yanjun alone to face it.

"Boss." He lowered his head, not daring to speak loudly.

"Come to my office." He said this and went back to the office.

"Tell me, who is my partner?" He sat in the office chair with a blank expression.

"Just...you saw Sister Kong like that just now, didn't you?" Xiao Liu trembled with fear and secretly looked at his expression.

"Are you sick?" He threw the notebook on the table at him, "What nonsense are you spreading? Do you have nothing to do? How did the Zhao family react to Zhao Xuanli's death?"

"No reaction." When the case was mentioned, Xiao Liu returned to normal.

"No response?" This is something abnormal. It seems that I need to go and see Fu Yan.

"The Zhao family handled Zhao Xuanli's death very low-key. When they mentioned her, they only said that her private life was chaotic." Basically, everything Xiao Liu asked about the deceased's private life at the Zhao family.

"There's a serial murder case, and the private lives of several victims are in disarray. Now there's a case of a body being buried in a playground." Li Li waved his hand, asked them to leave, and then specifically explained again: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Kong Zhixi took her back to the office and went through the formalities. Seeing that she was holding the receipt and was hesitant to speak, she pulled her to the corridor and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"I have kept some of my father's things. I don't know if those things are related to his death." Jia Jia lowered her head and said to her.

Looking at the surveillance camera in the corridor, she pushed the person out, saying, "You go back first, I'll come to find you when I have time." When the bones were dug out in the school playground, she felt that things were not that simple. Coupled with Jia Jia's attitude towards the matter, the bones had been buried for more than ten years, and no one would believe that no one was covering it up.

The night before her break, she took some time to go home for dinner and asked her mother for the car keys, saying that she would need them the next day.

When Kong Jianping came back, he was followed by Li Li. They were both surprised to see each other. After dinner, they cleaned up the dishes. Li Li asked, "Are you going back to Cui..." Before he finished speaking, Kong Zhixi quickly covered his mouth with her hand, fearing that he would tell her where she lived.

Kong Jianping looked at the two people in confusion, and she quickly explained: "Uh... yes, I have to go back to the company to work overtime." After letting go, she found a wet towel to wipe herself and took the bowl to the kitchen.

Li Li also followed her to the kitchen to help her wash the dishes and said, "Don't they know where you live?"

"Why do you always come to my house?" Every time they met in this house, she became extremely nervous, fearing that he would say something.

"I have something to talk to your dad about." Seeing her frowning and angry, he would become nervous for no reason.

"Next time, can you ask me before you come to my house? If I go home, can you please not come?"

"Why are you so nervous?" In the past two years, he has been visiting the Kong family more diligently than she has.

"I'm nervous about you talking nonsense, what can I be nervous about?" How dare this person ask? I took the bowl he handed over, wiped it with kitchen paper and put it in the disinfection cabinet.

"Your father said that your job..."

"I don't want to listen to him, and I don't want to listen to you!" The job of a police officer made her tired enough. She didn't want to have a conflict with her father, nor did she want to deal with her boss after get off work.

"Did Jia Jia say anything to you?" Seeing her attitude, he had to change the subject.

"I've given Xiao Zhao all the information. If you have any questions, ask Xiao Zhao."

"I thought you were serious about work."

"Work is work, and off work is off work."

"Where are you going back to later? I'll take you there."

"No, I have a car."

"Did you buy a car?"

“My mother’s car.”

After washing the dishes, they drove to the parking lot and went home. Li Li drove behind her and only drove back to the team after she entered the community.

On the day off, Kong Zhixi drove to the countryside to find Jiajia and saw the pile of things left by her father, which included some information about unqualified materials in the school project. She copied the information to a USB drive and told Jiajia to be careful.

At work, she went to find the principal of the school where the incident occurred, wanting to learn about Jia Jia's father's situation at the school. But the principal knew nothing, and the vice principal looked suspicious.

When they returned to the office, the master took her to the police station, saying that there was a quarrel in the community.

When we arrived at the scene, we saw that there was indeed a quarrel and a fight. The restaurant owner's forehead was cut. The owner was very excited and was still quarreling with the gang. The two pulled them apart and decided not to fight. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and quarreled.

Kong Zhixi comforted the proprietress while her master stood between the two gangs to mediate. As the mediation was going on, the two sides started fighting again. Kong Zhixi hurried over to help, but ended up being beaten too.

After taking the person back to the police station, the master took her to the hospital to treat her wounds.
