Only then did Qiao Yixia come back to her senses and helped her open the car door. After getting in the car, Qiao Yixia realized the change in Lu Xizhan's address to herself. Call me Joe."

"Yeah." Lucy leaned on her back and closed her eyes gently, "Three words, too long."

Qiao Yixia secretly slandered, isn't your own name also three characters, and you also dislike the length of other people's names.She didn't realize until she was holding the steering wheel that Lu Xizhan hadn't said where they were going.As soon as she opened her mouth, she heard Lu Xizhan say, "Ginkgo Village, Fukou Town."

The distance from here to Ginkgo Village is not close, and it takes about four to 10 minutes by car.The melodious violin music was still in the car, but Qiao Yixia felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably depressing.For some reason, she, who was originally taciturn, seemed to be aroused with many active cells after meeting Lu Xizhan, and she had many, many questions she wanted to ask her.She, some want to solve the mystery of this woman.

"Professor Lu, you just said that you came to the bureau to watch the video to verify your ideas." Qiao Yixia asked tentatively.

"Ah."

"So what's the result of the verification?"

"I'm right." Lu Xizhan's eyes were still lightly closed, looking quiet and elegant.

The doubts in Qiao Yixia's heart intensified: "Can you tell me what you think?"

"Her heels are indeed three and a half centimeters."

Lu Xizhan's answer made her a little puzzled. She was still talking about the case just now, but why did the question suddenly shift to the heel? Is it because her thinking is too slow, or is it that Lu Xizhan's world is hard to understand: "The heel?"

"I don't remember whether her heels are three centimeters or three and a half centimeters."

"..." Qiao Yixia deeply understood what it means to be speechless.She thought that Lu Xizhan came to the bureau specially to verify something. After all, with Lu Xizhan's level of confidence, it was impossible for her to have any doubts about her case analysis.Unexpectedly, it was just to verify the height of the heel, no wonder she had been staring at the surveillance video just now.

Although it was difficult for Qiao Yixia to understand Lu Xizhan's behavior, she had the idea of ​​teasing her, and said slowly: "Professor Lu has a photographic memory. I remember someone told me not long ago that she My memory is very good, I can remember all the details with just one glance, am I hallucinating?"

Lu Xizhan didn't speak, but slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the back of Qiao Yixia's head, she seemed to have felt the slight upward curve of Qiao Yixia's mouth.She is a vengeful woman, so she returned this sentence so quickly.

After waiting for a long time, before Lu Xizhan could speak, Qiao Yixia thought that she might be angry because of her boring ridicule, if so, it would be too small-minded.

"Why doesn't Professor Lu talk?"

"Nothing to say."

"Professor Lu, I was joking with you. As long as you are human, you will make mistakes, it's no big deal."

Lucy raised the decibel slightly: "That's for ordinary people."

Qiao Yixia couldn't help rolling her eyes, she has seen all kinds of people, but she has never seen someone who wants to integrate self-indulgence into every aspect of life like Lu Xizhan.

"Perhaps you should be honored by that, Joe."

"Ok?"

"You learned about the only mistake I made in my life."

For some reason, Qiao Yixia didn't feel bored or annoyed when she heard Lu Xizhan's words, but thought she was a bit cute.This may look like narcissism to others, but from a psychological point of view, Professor Lu is embarrassed.

Qiao Yixia couldn't help but smiled slightly, and let out an imperceptible laugh.

"Officer Joe, please respect me."

Qiao Yixia couldn't help but slandered secretly, she really was a woman with a small belly, and she just used "illusion" to beat her once, and she returned what she said.She is really a woman with a black belly, but there is a little, a little cuteness in her black belly.

Qiao Yixia couldn't help but slandered secretly, she really was a woman with a small belly, and she just used "illusion" to beat her once, and she returned what she said.She is really a woman with a black belly, but there is a little, a little cuteness in her black belly.

The location of Gingko Village is remote and the road section is rough, but fortunately, Lu Xizhan's Cadillac is very good, avoiding the bumps along the way. If it was the car in the opening game, Qiao Yixia would be dizzy at this moment.Lu Xizhan still spoke little, and Qiao Yixia was not a talkative person, and the music in the car became the only sound that relieved the embarrassment in this closed space.Qiao Yixia stopped the car at the head of the village, then got out of the car and opened the door for Lu Xizhan.

The weather seems to be a little colder than before.Qiao Yixia felt the tip of her nose sore, as if she was stimulated by the strong cold air, and Lu Xizhan must also be cold, but because of her cold personality, it is impossible to see unnecessary emotions on her face of.

Qiao Yixia followed Lu Xizhan and walked forward together with her. On the road, she met some villagers who were carrying bamboo baskets and speaking their native dialect, and cast surprised or puzzled looks at the two of them.The village is full of simple-looking men and women. Although Lu Xizhan and Qiao Yixia's dresses are not ostentatious, they are not low-key. In addition, both of them have extremely beautiful faces. It attracted a lot of attention.

"Professor Lu, how did you know about this place? Have you been here yesterday?" Since Lu Xizhan had already seen the woman who appeared in the surveillance camera and behaved strangely in the park yesterday, it stands to reason that he wanted to find out further. If there are clues, they will definitely follow her to the place where she lives.

"Qing Ye has come."

It turns out that Qing Ye is not only her nanny, but also her assistant. Thinking about it, it makes sense. Someone like Lu Xizhan who is born with a sense of nobility must be reluctant to follow up in person. other people's kind of things.

In fact, the standard of living in the countryside has improved rapidly compared to decades ago, but it still looks a little older than the city, and the most old and barren looking house is probably the family in front of us.Lu Xizhan stopped in front of a wooden door with a faded portrait of the door god, and Qiao Yixia knew that the woman must have lived here.

Qiao Yixia stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one responded. She wondered if there was no one at home, and when she was about to stop, Lu Xizhan said, "Keep knocking."

After knocking for about 1 minute, a passing middle-aged woman who looked a bit bloated and wearing a big red headscarf came to the two of them and said in substandard Mandarin: "Is there still no one? Last night I I was thinking about calling the couple to my house to play cards, but no one opened the door after knocking for a long time, which is really strange."

"You mean this family hasn't been here since last night?" Qiao Yixia asked.

The middle-aged woman nodded: "That's right, I don't know where I went. I was wondering if I thought I was here to collect debts so I didn't dare to open the door for me, but I still won't open it today. There is really no one, but girl, what are you two doing here? You don’t look like people from our village? Could it be that you two are also here to collect debts? "

Qiao Yixia frowned and said, "Does their family often borrow money from others?"

"Hey, let me tell you this, almost everyone in these eight villages has lent money to the old Lu's family, and they are very poor. In addition, the old Lu's wife has this strange disease, which made us alone No one dares to let them go to collect debts anymore, this is not a refund or a refund, what a shame! Girl, I won’t tell you two, I’m still in a hurry to go to work in the field!”

The middle-aged woman smiled broadly, then rushed to another woman of the same age not far away, waved her hand and shouted "Let's go". From her talkative personality, it can be seen that she is the one who must appear in every TV series. The big trumpet-like role in the play is not malicious, but he loves to gossip and talk about right and wrong.But the biggest feature is that the credibility of the words spoken by this type of population is usually extremely high.

Qiao Yixia glanced at Lu Xizhan, her eyes were still like a pool of lake water, unable to penetrate any emotions.Qiao Yixia raised her hand and was about to continue knocking on the door, but Lu Xizhan raised her hand to stop her, and then knocked on the dirty wooden door three times: "You really don't want to see him?"

"Him?" Qiao Yixia looked at Lu Xizhan again, trying to get an answer.

But what was waiting was not Lucy's answer, but the door that was finally opened, and a middle-aged woman with blond hair, sallow complexion, and crow's feet at the corners of her eyes that could not be ignored appeared in front of them.She looks similar to the talkative woman just now, but she has a unique temperament, maybe bookish, maybe a touch of tenderness, in short, although she is not too beautiful, she has an attractive magic power.

"You guys." The woman just glanced at them, then quickly looked away, and then tried to close the door.

Qiao Yixia stopped her: "Since you're at home, why don't you invite us in for a sit down?" Then she took out her ID from her pocket and presented it in front of the woman.

Qiao Yixia and Shi Wei went to the impoverished mountainous area to do research half a year ago, and half a year later, they stepped into this dilapidated and even musty smelling house, which brought Qiao Yixia's thoughts back to half a year ago.The house made of bricks tells the story of the poverty of the family. Looking at the roof with an obvious small hole, she wonders if a mouse will suddenly come to her feet.

Except for the slight nervousness when opening the door, the woman was so calm at this moment, she unhurriedly helped Qiao Yixia and Lu Xizhan pour boiled water to drink.Judging from the surveillance video, the woman wrapped herself tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes, but it was enough. Looking at the woman's calm and slightly vicissitudes and lonely eyes, and the golden hair that did not look With soft hair, Qiao Yixia can be sure that it is her.

"Ms. Lu."
