don't sacrifice

"When will you leave Maicheng this time?"

Zhou Qichen seemed to be a little bit fond of his returning lover, he tightly hooked Xiaobai's little finger, and looked at him with affection in his eyes.

"It should be back to Beihai on the fifth day." Xiaobai replied, "The restaurant I work in is only open on the sixth day."

"Are you still studying in Beihai?" Zhou Qichen asked him, "What did you study?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiaobai's mouth, "I studied criminal psychology. At that time, I only thought it was interesting, but I didn't expect that the major I chose had something to do with you. I will do an internship in the second half of this year, and I will also come to Maicheng by then. How about looking for you?"

"Let's just say goodbye." Zhou Qichen hurriedly stopped, "Maicheng is too hard, look, this one big case just ended, another one came! I've been so busy these two years."

"...But I want to be with you." After hearing this, Xiaobai curled his lips as if coquettishly, and said to Zhou Qichen, "I just don't know if you can be transferred back to Beihai, it would be great if you could. gone."

"Let me see." After so many years, Xiaobai's frown and smile can still touch Zhou Qichen's heart thousands of miles away, "I will try my best to apply." He bent slightly and rubbed Xiaobai's hair.

"Dong dong dong..." At this moment there was a knock on the door, Zhou Qichen subconsciously straightened up, and the distance from Xiaobai was no longer so ambiguous.

"Is Officer Zhou in there?"

It was Kan Zhen's voice.

"Ah, come in." Zhou Qichen glanced at Xiaobai, who understood.The two of them pretended to be indifferent.

"Why have you been asking for so long here? Is there any problem?" Kan Zhen opened the door, looked around the room, saw Xiao Bai sitting there with his head bowed, and seemed to have finished the process.

"No problem." Zhou Qichen replied hastily, "I've finished asking."

"Then let this child go quickly." Kan Zhen glanced at him suspiciously, feeling that he seemed to have suddenly lost his usual vigor for some reason.

"...Oh, oh yes." Zhou Qichen knew that Xiaobai might really be leaving, so he turned his head and said to him with some reluctance, "I've finished asking, you can go back first."

"Then I'm leaving?" Xiaobai seemed a little reluctant to leave, so he asked again.

"I'll take you out." The words blurted out, ignoring the slightly surprised look on Kan Zhen's face.

The two went out side by side like that, and the corridor from the interrogation room to the gate was suddenly shortened today.Both of them slowed down, not wanting this rare reunion to end like this

"Do you mind if I didn't tell my colleague who you are?"

Zhou Qichen asked first.

"This kind of thing... I know, it's usually hard to explain." Xiaobai smiled indifferently, expressing that he didn't mind.

"This case is a bit tricky." Zhou Qichen felt relieved, and continued to explain to Xiaobai, "So maybe, I don't have much time until you leave Maicheng..."

"I know that too." Xiaobai pursed his lips slightly, his eyes drifted out of the window, "Just concentrate on handling the case, and I won't cause you any trouble."

"It's really troublesome." Zhou Qichen looked at him, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and leaned into his ear and said, "Falling in love with you is destined to be troublesome."

These words made Xiaobai's ears soft, like a tempting snake burrowed into his heart.

"I have to go."

Not far away, Luo Shannian was standing under a tree, and when he saw Xiao Bai coming out, he waved vigorously to him.Xiaobai also waved his hand in response.

"Goodbye." Zhou Qichen rubbed his head fiercely again, although he was reluctant, he still said goodbye to him with a smile.

"See you later." Xiaobai also stretched out his hand, stepped on his feet slightly, and also messed up Zhou Qichen's meticulous hair.

Luo Shannian in the distance saw this scene and was a little stunned in surprise.When Xiao Bai came over, she grabbed him and asked excitedly,

"Who is this person? You two were so close just now... Could it be that..."

"Did you say something?" Xiaobai asked back.

"I don't know what to say!" Su Nian jumped up excitedly, "Who is he?"

"Zhou Qichen." Xiaobai didn't want to hide anything from Shanian, because he knew she would understand him.

"Who is Zhou Qichen?" Shanian still stared at him with wide eyes, puzzled.

"My boyfriend."

inside the police station

In the serious crime team office, everyone gathered together.Zhou Qichen hurried back from the door, generally pushed the door open, "Sorry, I'm late."

Everyone in the room turned to look at him.

"...You still know to come back." Kan Zhen frowned slightly, beckoning him to come over quickly, "Take a look at the photos at the scene."

Zhou Qichen hurried over and saw that He Yuwei had already developed the photos taken at the scene and pinned them on the small blackboard.

"It can be seen from the photos that the roof of the building at the scene of the crime is covered with snow, but it seems that there is no snow on the eaves on the right, that is, the place where the body fell." He Yuwei pointed to it A photo of the scene, explaining what I saw and heard at the scene, "Then I went there to check it carefully, and it seemed that there were slight scratches."

"The building is so high, you are not afraid." Wang Ting asked with some concern.

"Who am I? Can I be afraid of heights?" He Yu rolled her eyes, as if dissatisfied with her question.

"My body report has also come out." Kan Zhen interrupted the conversation between the two, picked up the report in his hand and read it, "The deceased man was around 30 to 40 years old. The time of death was around the early morning of the 27th. In A butterfly-shaped scar appeared on the neck of the deceased, and it was confirmed by examination that the cause of death was suffocation by strangling the neck."

"Looking at his size, it should be very difficult to strangle him to death with bare hands." The fat man expressed his thoughts while holding his chin, "It seems that the murderer must be taller than the deceased!"

"And it's a man!" Wang Ting interrupted.

"It's more important to quickly determine the source of the corpse." Zhou Qichen said, "Zhongli, you should investigate this time."

However, Bai Zhongli, who was called by name, didn't seem to react, still staring at the floor dully.

"Zhongli?"

Zhou Qichen called him again, and he stood up as if waking up from a dream, "Ah, what's wrong?"

"Did you fall asleep just now?" The fat man looked at him puzzled, "Boss asked you to investigate the source of the corpse."

"Oh, good." Bai Zhongli nodded, stood up and wanted to go out.

"What's wrong with him?" Seeing Bai Zhongli leaving the office in a daze, Kan Zhen felt very strange.

"Who knows, that's how I sent that little girl back just now." The fat man replied.

"Okay, don't talk about these anymore." After sorting out the clues at hand, I found it difficult to sort out some clues.Zhou Qichen sighed, he is very busy now,

"Fatty, you also look for the person who disappeared recently on the Internet. Wang Ting and Lao He sorted out the existing item information and picture information. Forensic doctor, do you need a second autopsy?"

"Need." Kan Zhen replied.

"Okay, then let's take action." Zhou Qichen waved his hand and took a deep breath. He really hoped that this case would be solved as soon as possible.

"You must work hard, comrades!"

After speaking, he took the brunt of going out, and threw himself into work as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Boss, what's going on..."

The people in the room looked at each other, looked at each other and shook their heads, and quickly plunged into the busy investigation...
