Be in low spirits

"Mom left some for you." Li Li said as he went to the kitchen, took out the food, put it on the table, and served her some rice.

"Aren't you on duty today?" She washed her hands and came out to eat.

"Well, I have to go back soon. I'll come back to watch you eat." He sat opposite her and watched her eat.

"Uncle Qi and Uncle Jiang have returned to Jiangzhou?" The food was okay and not cold.

"Yeah. Changshi's case was solved, so they went back."

"Where are your parents?"

"I went for a walk."

"Then you should go back to the team." I don't know what's there to see while eating.

"I'll wait until you finish eating."

"What's there to see while eating? Go work overtime." She had her own things to do after dinner and had no time to entertain him.

"Then I'll come back later and give you a kiss." He pouted, wanting an ordinary work kiss.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss. All you know is kiss. You've kissed more this year than in the past two years combined." She tapped his hand with the chopsticks.

"Then I have time to make up for those two years." He added shamelessly.

"Tsk, you..." She was about to hit him on the head with the chopsticks again, so he quickly dodged and stood up to go out. Father and Mother Li also came back from their walk at this time.

After dinner, Kong Zhixi turned on the computer in the room and plugged in the USB drive.

Inside was Li Li’s suicide note and the distribution of his estate, as well as a video, which indeed had nothing to do with the case.

She turned on the video, which showed some surveillance footage. It looked like they were setting up a surveillance camera to arrest someone, but she couldn't make out anything. When she was about to turn it off, she found herself in it. She was at the airport, making a "yeah" gesture to the surveillance camera.

Isn't this the picture Li Li mentioned when he first met her? Then there were some random things, some travel photos and videos she posted on her social account, some photos of her back when she joined the detachment, her back when she was with her mother again, and photos of her facing their family alone after she decided to get married.

She opened the suicide note, which contained his explanation of several things, including his bank card password, balance, water and electricity account number for the house, loan details, and even the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator.

At the end, I wrote a confession: I don't know if the action will fail, but I believe that the truth will come out one day. If I can't wait until that day, I hope my parents can respect my wishes and transfer the house to my wife, Kong Zhixi. Marriage has always been my wishful thinking, and it has nothing to do with her. She has never had anything to do with these things.

At the end of the video, there are some clues about the case, including Fu Yan’s disappearance, Cheung Kong’s organizational structure, personnel relationships, and the Liu, Zhao, and Pan families, which include the city’s top richest people.

Most of the people from Cheung Kong have been arrested or wanted, so there should be nothing more to see.

The Liu family controls the city's medical resources. The arrest of Director Jiang shows that the Discipline Inspection Commission and the criminal police have begun investigating the Liu family.

"Xixi, we want to ask you how your coffee is?" Mother Li knocked on the door and asked cautiously.

Kong Zhixi opened the door and said, "If it's pure coffee, you can't really tell the difference. I think we should make something special." She said as she walked into the living room, and Li's mother followed behind her.

"Oh, who said it wasn't? But it's hard to find baristas these days." The three of them sat around the coffee table and began to work on the next project.

"But Li Li thinks it's okay." After hesitating for a while, he still felt that he should express his opinion.

"That won't work. Let's change the beans." Father Li decisively decided to change the beans, and Mother Li also agreed.

"No, he said it's okay and drinkable." She thought they had heard it wrong and repeated it again.

"You don't know, he has no talent for business at all. If he says it's okay, then it usually isn't." Father Li explained as he studied the beans.

She could only nod and say nothing more. It was past one in the morning when Li Li returned home. She was dazed and grabbed his hand and asked, "Why are you here so late?"

"There's a case. Do you miss me?" He leaned over and whispered to her.

Kong Zhixi snorted coldly, turned over and went back to sleep.

"Are you going home for dinner tomorrow?" Li Li took his pajamas and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

"Yeah." She didn't hear clearly what he said and could only agree vaguely.

In the morning, Kong Zhiting gave the autopsy report to Li Li and gossiped, "Brother-in-law, is my sister particularly enthusiastic recently?"

"What's wrong?" He opened the report and read the contents. Although it was not much different from what he knew, he still wanted to confirm it. Next, he didn't know whether to investigate the Zhao family or the Liu family.

"I shouldn't say this to you, but I still think you shouldn't get divorced." She sat opposite him, and after thinking it over, she still felt that she should remind her brother-in-law.

Since waking up in the hospital, almost everyone seemed to be talking to him about this. "Did your sister say anything?" He glanced at his phone. It was still possible to chat at this time.

"Actually, my sister wouldn't have too much contact with outsiders unless there was some external motivation. That's why my dad has been wondering about her motive for registering with you. I'm also very curious, why?" As for the matter of registering for marriage, the couple's attitude of being very secretive made people curious.

"Didn't we explain it to you at the beginning?" He originally thought that they had already opened their hearts to each other and made their attitudes clear in the teahouse, but now from what his sister said, it seemed that was not the case.

"My dad is an old policeman. He must have figured out something, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me in person."

"You mean I need to talk to your dad?" He didn't understand.

"What I mean is that there must be external reasons for her to marry you, so her enthusiasm now must also be driven by external factors. You should pay more attention to it." She felt that her reminder was already very obvious.

"I don't understand." He spread his hands, not understanding what she wanted to remind him, and picked up the case file to read it again.

"Oh, she wants to get pregnant before the divorce, and then use the child to divert my parents' conflict about the divorce!" She knew it was a little difficult to understand, but for the sake of her sister and brother-in-law's marriage, she could only sacrifice her small self and fulfill her big self.

He was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, "Haha, impossible, go back, I still have a case here."

Before Kong Zhiting left, she kept reminding him: "Don't tell my sister that I said this, otherwise she will have to stay in the institute for several months again!"

After firing the man away, he locked himself in the office and thought for a while. This was indeed her style. Otherwise, why would she suddenly lower herself and ask for peace after their quarrel?

Xiao Zhao knocked on the door and handed him the victim's information. He worked the whole afternoon with a dark face. When he got home at night, she went to work. He lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. The fragments in his body ached.

In the Liu Family Villa area, a man stood on the rooftop and looked into the distance. The bodyguard behind him said, "Brother Zhe, I heard that Fu Yan went to the hospital to see Mr. Zhao today."

"Where is the young master of the Zhao family?" He took a sip of the red wine in his hand, thinking that the Zhao family must be in chaos at the moment.

"Also in the hospital." The bodyguard said expressionlessly.

"Hehe, that's filial piety. Fu Yan won't be able to achieve anything, so just keep an eye on the Zhao family."

"Yes."

It started to drizzle, and the bodyguards escorted Liu Zhesi downstairs.

After the shift, Kong Zhixi went home and took a nap. In the afternoon, she called her mother and told her that Li Li would also come back for dinner. Meng Yiran called her and asked her about the income and expenditure of the teahouse in the past few months. She said a few perfunctory words in a daze. She could tell that she was sleeping, so she hung up the phone.

Li Li bought some fruit when he came here after get off work. Kong Jianping and Kong Zhiting were both busy, so after the three of them finished their meal, the couple went back together.

Sitting in the car, she thought of what Li's father said and laughed. "What are you laughing at?" Li Li asked her.

"Aren't your parents researching coffee? When you told them that you thought the coffee was good that night, they immediately decided to change the beans."

"I'm becoming more and more useless in their eyes." He tried his best not to care about what he heard today.

"Why are you so absent-minded today?" She noticed that he was abnormal and thought he was too tired from work.

"Maybe an old injury recurred. I didn't sleep well last night." He hesitated whether he should ask.

"Why don't we ask Dr. Jiang to check it out? I'll ask Zhiting." It seemed like she hadn't asked this sister for a long time.
