Chapter 12 The Ritual Begins 12

What this means, of course, is that Tang Xin is cooking tonight.

"I'm leaving first." Xie Jibai glanced at the time, then went out to Tang Xin's studio.

Chen Yancai was very excited and said, "The deputy team has a good relationship with Tang Forensic Doctor."

Chen Wanting was dumbfounded, and he was a little embarrassed when he realized it.

"Boss, what's that look on your face?" Chen Yancai said, "The deputy team has always been alone. It's actually good to have someone to live with him. Forensic Tang seems a little frivolous, but according to my intuition, It should not be someone who takes advantage of others. They live together, and when there is nothing to talk to in the room, I think it is a good thing for the deputy team."

Chen Wanting was taken aback, thought for a while and said, "What you said...may be right."

When Xie Jibai went to look for Tang Xin, Tang Xin hadn't finished his work, Xie Jibai appeared, and he realized that it was getting late. I'm afraid the supermarket will be closed if we wait a little longer.

Tang Xin came over, took off all the gloves and masks, and said, "Wait for me for a while, I'll be fine soon."

"How is your side?" Xie Jibai said, "If it's not alright, I..."

"It's almost done." Tang Xin said, "Leave the rest to my assistant, we can go."

Tang Xin took off his white coat, changed into a long cape, and followed Xie Jibai out of the office.

Tang Xin walked out, took a deep breath, and said, "The situation is not ideal."

"How to say?" Xie Ji Bai asked.

Tang Xin said: "Although the final result has not yet come out, I think it should be similar to the last autopsy report. The death time of this corpse should be thirteen days ago."

Xie Jibai frowned, and said: "So..." Either the deceased was not Liu Yingbei, or the woman who appeared four days ago was not Liu Yingbei, anyway, something is wrong.

The elevator came, and the two entered the elevator together.Tang Xin turned on the light on the first floor.

The surroundings of the elevator were as bright as a mirror. Xie Jibai stood on the right side, frowning and thinking about what was going on.When he raised his head inadvertently, he saw Tang Xin standing behind him, looking at him with a pair of eyes.

Xie Jibai could see clearly from the bright elevator wall, Tang Xin's eyes made him a little puzzled.

The elevator soon reached the first floor, Tang Xin called Xie Ji Bai who was still in a daze, and they walked out together.

"There is a supermarket one stop ahead." Xie Jibai said.

"Let's go over there." Tang Xin said.

"Okay." Xie Jibai nodded.

It was already dark, and after the sun went down, the night was much cooler.Especially now that the time is already late, there are no people on the road, and it looks quite empty.

The two walked forward side by side, Tang Xin occasionally asked about their progress in the afternoon, but they didn't seem embarrassed along the way.

"The cake shop in front," Tang Xin said suddenly, "is that the one?"

Xie Ji Bai was a little dazed when he heard it at first, but when he looked up, he nodded as if he had suddenly realized, and said, "Yes."

It turned out that Tang Xin was talking about the cake at noon.

The two of them happened to pass by the cake shop, because it was quite late now, and the cake shop was about to close, and there was almost no one in it.Through the glass door, you can see the clerk who is busy cleaning up inside, and...

Chen Wanting...

Chen Wanting was also in that cake shop, standing by the counter, talking to a young man with a smile.

Xie Jibai didn't look into the cake shop, but he saw a car parked by the side of the road, it was Chen Wanting's car, so Xie Jibai looked up, and sure enough, he saw Chen Wanting went to the cake shop again when he got off work.

"The captain also likes this cake?" Tang Xin was also a little surprised when he saw Chen Wanting.

Xie Jibai really wanted to reach out and rub his forehead, and reluctantly said, "Yes... ah..."

Chen Wanting obviously likes the owner of this cake shop, he has much more cakes than the cakes in this cake shop.After all, Chen Wanting has severe butter allergy, so he absolutely cannot eat cakes.

Chen Wanting happened to be walking out with the owner of the bakery at this moment, talking and laughing as they walked, and they seemed to have a pretty good relationship.

As soon as the two came out, they saw Xie Jibai and Tang Xin. Chen Wanting was a little surprised.

Chen Wanting said, "What are you doing here?"

Xie Jibai pointed to the front and said, "Go to the supermarket."

As soon as he said that, Chen Wanting was even more surprised. How long has it been since Xie Ji Bai went to the supermarket?Chen Wanting couldn't help thinking of Chen Yancai's words, maybe it was a good thing that someone lived with Xie Jibai.

If only he could be brought out of that shadow...

Chen Wanting smiled and said, "Go, Xiao Su and I will go first."

As Chen Wanting said, he turned on the co-pilot and let Su Banyu sit in, then turned to the opposite side, got into the driver's seat by himself, and drove away.

Tang Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Captain and that man...?"

Xie Jibai didn't say much, he glanced at the time and said, "If you don't leave, you won't be able to buy anything."

It is true that Xie Jibai hasn't been to the supermarket for a long time. Usually, if he lacks a large item at home, he will order it online and have it delivered at night. If he lacks a small item, he will buy it at the convenience store downstairs and take it home.He had long forgotten when was the last time he went to the supermarket.

There are very few people in the supermarket, and there are almost no vegetables for sale at this late hour, and the last bit is left, but the price is a little cheaper than during the day.

Xie Jibai didn't know how to pick vegetables and fruits, but Tang Xin, who was wearing a suit and shirt, looked quite knowledgeable and quick in his movements, so he quickly picked them out and took Xie Jibai to buy other things.

In fact, Tang Xin wanted to stay in the fruit and vegetable area for a while longer.Xie Jibai was wearing a uniform and white gloves, standing in front of a cabinet of strawberries, it felt unharmonious and harmonious, Tang Xin found it quite interesting.

However, the vegetable and fruit area is unavoidably messier and dirtier than other shopping areas. Tang Xin was afraid that Xie Jibai would feel uncomfortable, so he took the people away after quickly picking them out.

Tang Xin bought a lot of vegetables and fruits, and he carried them in his hands after picking them out. They didn't push the shopping cart when they entered the door just now, as if they didn't expect to buy so many things.

Xie Jibai was by his side, wherever Tang Xin went, he would go there.He originally wanted to help Tang Xin get some, but Tang Xin said no.Looking at it this way, Xie Ji Bai looks a bit like a child who goes out shopping with an adult.

Xie Jibai saw too many things, so he wanted to help Tang Xin push an empty shopping cart over, but when he got to the front, he found that all the shopping carts were connected together, as if they were locked together, and they couldn't be pushed away at all.

He stood there, blinking his eyes, showing a thoughtful look.

It was Tang Xin who saw it, walked over with a smile, and said, "Deputy team, do you have a coin for one yuan?"

Xie Jibai took out one yuan from his pocket and put it in Tang Xin's palm.Tang Xin stuffed the one-yuan steel coin into the socket on the armrest of the shopping cart, and with a "pop", the chain attached to the shopping cart bounced off.

Tang Xin said: "After checking out for a while, when leaving, put the shopping cart back, and then insert the chain into the socket at the back of other shopping carts, and the one-yuan coin will pop out."

Tang Xin gave Xie Jibai some popular science, and Xie Jibai had an expression of enlightenment on his face, which made Tang Xin feel cute.

"How do you know?" Xie Ji Bai suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Tang Xin looked at him.

Xie Jibai said, "You haven't been abroad all the time."

Tang Xin smiled and said, "Actually, they're all pretty much the same."

Vegetables, fruits, meat, seasonings, rice and noodles were almost sold out, and Tang Xin took people around the snack area.There must be no snacks in Xie Jibai's house, and he didn't really like to eat snacks, but on a whim, he suddenly wanted to see Xie Jibai eating snacks, so he took a few random ones.

After taking it, Tang Xin did not forget to order coffee for himself.Because Xie Jibai didn't have a coffee machine at home, he had no choice but to buy a box of instant coffee first, and then slowly prepare other things later.

"It's almost there." Tang Xin looked down at the full cart and said, "By the way, do you need to buy some disposable gloves?"

When he said this, Xie Ji Bai was stunned, and then his face turned a little red.

Tang Xin was stunned when he saw his reaction, and suddenly remembered those disposable gloves that Xie Jibai put in the bathroom...

In fact, Tang Xin didn't mean to tease him, but simply wanted to buy some disposable gloves, so that it would be more convenient when cleaning up fish and raw meat, so as not to get a fishy smell on his hands, which could not be washed off no matter how much he washed.

Xie Ji Bai blushed in embarrassment, which made Tang Xin want to tease him instead.

Tang Xin smiled, and whispered in his ear: "Don't think too much, it's not for that purpose."

Tang Xin has already pushed the shopping cart and continued to walk forward, still saying: "Speaking of gloves, I should buy another apron."

Xie Jibai hurriedly followed, and saw that Tang Xin had turned to the back of the shopping rack, and started to pick out an apron.

Tang Xin compared it, and finally picked a pink one with lace on it...

But Xie Jibai didn't pay attention to what Tang Xin was holding at the moment, and soon went to check out with Tang Xin.

Back home, Tang Xin took off his coat and washed his hands before preparing to cook. Xie Jibai was responsible for stuffing all the things into the refrigerator, and the refrigerator was filled to the brim in an instant.

Xie Jibai finished his work, stood up and closed the refrigerator, turned around...

I saw Tang Xin holding a pink lace apron, looking at him with a smile.His subconscious eyelids twitched twice.

Tang Xin said: "Come on, put it on."

"You cook, why should I wear it?" Xie Ji Bai couldn't help asking.

Tang Xin came over and said, "It's true that I cook, but why don't you help me? What if the oil splashes on you?"

Sounds plausible...
