Be in low spirits

Kong Zhixi sat in the interrogation room. She knew that what she needed to do now was to escape, avoid Li Li, and find out the truth. The question was, who could save her now? Old Sui? Cheng Xi? Neither of them was likely. She didn't know what was in the necklace in her bra.

Zhang Huizhi was not found, and Jiajia was also missing. Who was looking for what? "Can anyone bring me a glass of water?" She shouted at the double-sided glass.

The person who brought her water was the guy who sat in the corner of the office and did nothing but type on the keyboard and write materials every day. Kong Zhixi originally thought that he was just a tool, but she didn't expect that he was active.

"Captain Li is out. I'm letting you out. Remember, the case must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise Captain Li can't go back." He lowered his head and said as he uncuffed her.

"You...you are?" She still didn't understand where this place was or why she was here.

"Don't worry about who I am. Anyway, you are the only one who can help him now." He looked grim and looked around. After unlocking the handcuffs, he pushed her out.

Kong Zhixi had no way to pursue the matter for a while, so she could only escape first and then think of a way. After she left the bureau, she took a taxi to find Cheng Xi. Although Cheng Xi didn't like her, there weren't many people who could help her now. She found a hole from the back door and climbed up the window, breaking the glass of Cheng Xi's office. When Cheng Xi came out from the inner room, she covered her mouth, dragged her in, and whispered to her: "Don't shout, it's me." Someone knocked on the door outside the office and asked: "Mr. Cheng, what happened?" Kong Zhixi frowned at her and shook her head at her. She stared and nodded. Kong Zhixi let go of the hand covering her mouth and shouted at the door: "It's okay, I just broke a cup."

“Do you need someone to scan the code for you?”

"No, I'll clean it up myself."

Kong Zhixi let her go, sat on the stool, and took a breath. Cheng Xi also sat down, laughed contemptuously, and said, "You will have such a day."

She ignored her ridicule, took the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, drank it all, then tore open her collar, took out the necklace from her bra, and asked, "Do you have a computer?"

"Aren't you going to tell me what happened first?" The fear she had just felt had completely disappeared, and now all she had was pride and curiosity.

"I've been framed for murder. If Lao Li asks, I hope you don't tell him I'm here." She said as she fiddled with the necklace.

"Don't worry about that. I won't tell him." Her pride turned into surprise, and she threw the computer into her hands. Kong Zhixi opened the cover of the necklace, plugged in the computer, and opened the information inside.

Cheng Xi was also standing by and watching. Kong Zhixi opened the video file inside, which contained the content of a meeting secretly recorded by Jia Jia's father. It was a negotiation between the vice principal and some people regarding the playground project. It turned out that Jia Jia did not hear about his father's death from his grandmother, but learned about it from watching the video.

Some of the scanned documents were material inspection reports, and almost all of them were unqualified materials. "I see." Kong Zhixi sighed.

"What does that mean?" Cheng Xi asked curiously.

Kong Zhixi glanced at her. Although she was in love, she could still distinguish right from wrong. Just as she was about to explain to her, Li Li called.

"What's wrong with her?" Cheng Xi pretended to be very professional, and Kong Zhixi silently gave her a thumbs up.

"It's okay. If she contacts you, remember to contact me." Li Li sat in the car and sighed again. From Cheng Xi's tone, he knew she was there. He glanced at the window on the 4th floor and drove back home.

Cheng Xi settled her in the inner room of the office, asked an aunt to clean up the broken glass on the window, and asked someone to send some food over. The two of them sat inside and chatted while eating.

"Brother Li was the same as you are now when he was in school." She found it a little funny and seemed to be starting to like this sister-in-law a little.

Kong Zhixi was in no mood to chat with her, so she asked, "I'm looking for a girl who's about my age. Now she's missing. Can you lend me a car so I can go to her house and see her?"

"It's very late now, this is very dangerous." She was a bit picky about food and picked out all the dishes she didn't want to eat.

"There's no other way, I have to find her." She ate two mouthfuls of rice anxiously, hoping to get out of here quickly.

"I want to go with you." Cheng Xi's eyes were determined. She felt that after this incident, perhaps Li Li would no longer be just a sister to her.

"Ah? No, this won't work. They are in the dark and we are in the light, and I don't even know who they are. If you do this..." Before she could finish her words, Cheng Xi took the car keys and pulled her out of the inner room.

Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Kong Zhixi quickly grabbed her and whispered, "You can't go to the door. I'm a fugitive now."

Cheng Xi glanced at the broken glass and nodded to her, and the two climbed out of the window again. The B&B was a little far from the city, so there were not many people around, and the two drove straight to the countryside. If it weren't for this case, Kong Zhixi would not be a fugitive. On a night like this, driving a flamboyant red car on the road would really make people feel good. Cheng Xi was looking forward to this action.

"You should remember a lot of things." The corners of her mouth had not been lowered since she ran away. "I did remember a lot, but some of them are not yet coherent." Kong Zhixi was still worried.

"Once it becomes coherent, that's when you return to reality."

"You said that once we remember something, we can return to reality. Then why can't Li Li remember it?" She seemed to have found a bug.

"Didn't I tell you that he can't go back? All he can remember is what he misses the most. Although it's you now, when you go back, I will always find a chance in the long night." Cheng Xi felt that it would be okay even if he told her everything.

It was the first time that Kong Zhixi knew that she was the one that others cared about the most. She was a little flattered and not used to it. She reached out and touched Cheng Xi's chest, but there was no heartbeat.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't you know this is dangerous?" Cheng Xi reacted a little too strongly, holding the steering wheel with one hand and slapping the hand she stretched out with the other.

"But Li Li's heartbeat has recovered." She couldn't understand, if Li Li couldn't go back like them, then why did his heartbeat recover?

"What? The heartbeat has recovered?" Cheng Xi knew that Li Li might have a chance to go back, but he didn't think it would happen so soon.

"So he still has a chance to go back, right? And when I came out, someone asked me to help him. You know what's going on, right?" Kong Zhixi seemed to have grasped the hope of saving her life.

"Impossible, the reason he appears here is because he is dead." Cheng Xi said this with a hint of panic.

"Then why am I here?" If this is the world of the dead, then it wouldn't be right for her to be here.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be lying in the hospital now, and the doctor is not sure when you will wake up."

It turned out that she was on the verge of life and death, which meant that when she woke up, all the things she had hidden from her family would be exposed. Li Li must have guessed that she had recalled many things and was afraid that she would leave, so he stopped her from continuing to investigate.

"So that's how it is..." Kong Zhixi found out. She is now lying in the hospital, her life or death is uncertain.

"People like you are obviously heartless, yet you are the most favored."

Partiality? Is this also a kind of partiality? She had never noticed it. "He is your regret, but not necessarily my obsession. Cheng Xi, I told you that love is not the only thing in life." Kong Zhixi still couldn't understand her obsession with love.

"Those who have it are always confident, and those who don't have it are always in turmoil. I don't believe that you have nothing else to ask for in life." Cheng Xi understands many truths of life, and also knows that many things cannot be forced.

"I'm glad you understand." Kong Zhixi originally thought that she really regarded her as a love rival and would cause trouble for her, but it turned out that she was judging others by her own mean standards.

"Do you know why I appear here?" Cheng Xi seemed very interested in this conversation.

"Didn't you find it?"

"It's because I still have a place in Brother Li's heart, so I'm not completely without a chance of winning." When she said this, she felt a little proud.

Kong Zhixi was still very worried about Jiajia and couldn't be happy. "So...these people who appeared were actually what he had in mind?"

"That's what you said, but I don't know much about solving crimes, so I'm not sure about the things you're investigating."
