If love could come back

7. Look at it differently

Xu Xiaoli and LoSir came to Norman International Group Co., Ltd. again, showed their IDs to show their identities, and went all the way to the sales department without hindrance.The last time I visited, I don't know if it was just a coincidence or another reason, Qin Nuoyan happened not to be at the company.

"Huh? Wait a minute, are you from the cleaning company?" The staff led them to Qin Nuoyan's office, and asked strangely when they met a middle-aged woman wearing a uniform with the cleaning company's logo on it.

"Yes. Someone in our company has resigned, and the company arranged for me to replace her." The middle-aged woman also looked at the staff inexplicably.

"However, they usually come to clean on Saturdays. Everyone is at work now." Now everyone is busy running around, and the cleaning is for nothing.

"What? Really, I didn't make it clear during the handover, which cost me a waste of time. I'll make a phone call to find out." The middle-aged woman turned and walked away muttering.

"Excuse me, both of you, this way please."

"Knock, knock!"

"Comein."

The staff of the sales department pushed open the door of the manager's room. "Ryan, two people came to you and said they were from the Kowloon Crime Squad."

"Criminal crime team? Let them in."

Stepping through the door, Xu Xiaoli saw an elegant and very good-looking man sitting behind the desk in a neat suit. When she saw them coming in, she apologized to the other end of the phone in a low voice before hanging up.

"Both of you, please sit down." He looked sharply at the two of them and greeted them.

"I am Lu Tianheng, Senior Inspector of the Kowloon Serious Crime Unit, and you are Mr. Qin Nuoyan?" LoSir asked him directly as soon as he sat down.

"I'm."

"We are here for your cousin Ming Shao's case." LoSir stared at him with piercing eyes.

"I know about this, and I also know that you will come to me sooner or later." Qin Nuoyan leaned back in his chair, acting very calm.

"You seem a little indifferent to his death."

Xu Xiaoli on the side spoke bluntly, Qin Nuoyan turned to look at her, and smiled ironically. "I believe you came prepared. It's impossible for you to be unaware of my relationship with him. Our relationship has been very bad since we were young. I'm afraid the outside newspapers and magazines have written much more clearly than what I said. In detail. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't answer you in a hypocritical way—I'm very sad."

This person has such a good temperament, and his words are so indifferent that they can be said to be ruthless. Xu Xiaoli couldn't help frowning slightly because of the thorns in his sentences.

"I know, you suspect that this matter has something to do with me. Or, to be more direct - think I did it?" He asked defensively.

"Mr. Qin, we are here to hope that you can assist the police in the investigation and catch the murderer as soon as possible." LoSir said solemnly.

Hearing this, as if he heard something funny, he raised his pretty eyebrows, and said indifferently: "OK, since you said so, of course I will cooperate with the police investigation. If you want to know anything, just ask."

"Qin Mingsen, he died because he drank this bottle of wine." LoSir showed him the photo of the evidence, his sharp eyes fixed on Qin Nuoyan's face, not letting go of any slight change in expression.

Qin Nuoyan picked up the photo and took a look, recognized it at a glance, then raised his eyebrows and teased: "This is the wine I gave him. This wine was produced in limited quantities at that time, and the bottle was made of all crystal, or was it designed by a famous artist and carefully crafted?" but you're not going to tell me he died of alcoholism?"

"Didn't you say that you have a bad relationship? You gave him such an expensive gift?" Xu Xiaoli caught the inconsistency.

Qin Nuoyan raised his thin lips lightly, and curved a playful smile. "My cousin's favorite drink is this wine. Of course, the gift must match his taste, otherwise what's the point? Even if the relationship is not good, these superficial efforts should be sufficient, Madam?"

His words sounded harsh, but she understood.

This is how high society communicates.

This is the sweet belly sword of the upper class.

This is duplicity in the upper class!

She's been taught it before, hasn't she?

It's just that she didn't expect this person to be so naked and speak out without hesitation, which made her feel surprised.All of a sudden, a vague intuition told her that this person was most likely not the murderer.

In the process of talking with Qin Nuoyan, she found that although this person was arrogant, cold-blooded and ruthless, and his words were always ironic, his eyes were very calm, without flickering or uneasiness, let alone guilt-ridden avoidance. Meet them without flinching.

If he was really the murderer, why didn't he disregard the relationship when he saw the photo, instead he generously admitted that the wine was given by him?Besides, he looks like a very smart and intelligent person. All the unfavorable factors in committing crimes in the company will point to him, making him the number one target of the police. Could this person be so stupid?

However, one thing is for sure - he really wasn't saddened by Ming Shao's death, at most it could only be said that he was a little surprised.

If it’s not that he hasn’t done it, or that his IQ and EQ are terribly high, and he is confident enough that the police will not be able to find any conclusive evidence against him no matter how thoroughly they investigate him, then they will still behave when they come to him. So calm, even so outspoken.

If the murderer wants to tamper with the wine, he will definitely choose when no one is around. It is not a matter of a day or two for the wine to be poisoned.So, who else would go into Qin Mingsen's office when no one was around without arousing suspicion?

Xu Xiaoli, who was full of thoughts about the case, got off the minibus and walked home in the dark.When passing by a dessert shop, I saw a tall man from the back, wearing a blue sweater and black trousers, talking on the phone.

"I know. You have said it many times. Mango tofu flower, remember to tell the boss to increase the amount of mango." The familiar voice was helpless and funny, but it was full of tenderness and pampering.

"I'll be back soon. OK, bye." The man closed the phone and turned his face slightly. It was Qin Nuoyan? !

Xu Xiaoli stared at him blankly, she didn't have auditory hallucinations, did she?Is it really that cynical Qin Nuoyan during the day?She still remembered that this man always had an expression of arrogance and contempt on his face, and his eyes were cold, how could he smile so softly?

Qin Nuoyan took the dessert packed by the boss, and when he turned around, he saw the policewoman standing behind him in the daytime and staring at him, her expression quickly changed to that of the daytime.

"Madam, meet again? Ah, ah, or I have been listed as the number one suspect by your police? If this is the case, your tracking skills need to be strengthened."

Xu Xiaoli glanced at him, and the straightforward factor in her personality couldn't bear it anymore. "Do you have to talk like that? This is the way I have to go home."

As if to confirm her words, the owner of the dessert shop poked his head out to see her, and greeted her familiarly: "Hey, sharp girl, are you leaving get off work so late? Come here, and treat you to a bowl of signature tofu flower."

Xu Xiaoli glanced at him somewhat proudly and provocatively, then walked into the store to find a seat and sit down.The boss came over with an extra-large bowl of mango tofu.

"Come, come, eat more, don't be polite."

She hurriedly took out her wallet to pay, but was pushed back by the boss. "We have been neighbors for so many years, I still can't afford a small bowl of tofu? Take it back, take it back!"

"No! You must accept it, otherwise I won't dare to come next time." She insisted not to take advantage of others.

"Okay, okay. Then eat slowly." The boss had no choice but to collect the money to do other things.

She smiled, and buried her head in eating the smooth and sweet tofu flower.Suddenly, a figure sat down opposite the small round table, and she looked up in astonishment! "Why haven't you left yet?"

It was Qin Nuoyan. He took a leisurely look at her bowl and said, "The boss is so eccentric. I'll give you such a big bowl."

"What do you want?" She glanced at him, lowered her head and continued to eat, ignoring him.

"I apologize for misunderstanding you just now." He said simply.

Now she was stunned, raised her head in disbelief and asked him, "Are you apologizing to me?" She thought that a person like him would not say sorry even if he did something wrong, because he was too proud.

"Hmm. Is there a problem?" He looked at her strangely.

Staring at him for granted, of course there is no problem, she was just surprised. "How do you know about this store?"

"If you know it, you will know it."

Saying is equal to not saying.He glanced at him angrily: "I thought that people like you would think that Yau Ma Tei is mixed with people and snakes, and avoid them for fear of being late."

"What do you mean by people like us? Madam, so you have a class concept? Is Yau Ma Tei a dragon's pond and a tiger's den? How is it different from other districts in Hong Kong?" He asked with a half-smile.

A word awakens the dreamer.

Yeah, why would she ask such a question?She was born and raised here, and she is so familiar with every place here and is full of memories. Looking down at the bowl of tofu flower that has eaten a third of it, the neighbors get along so well and the relationship is so good. Everyone is straightforward and enthusiastic... …What is the problem?

"Maybe I'm too tired recently, so I don't know what I'm talking about. Sorry."

Qin Nuoyan stared at her for a long time, as if observing, as if studying, and then called out: "Xu Xiaoli?" I remembered that the certificate she hung around her neck during the day had this name written on it.

She raised her eyes emissively, and he smiled slightly, not the kind of mocking smile, and stretched out his hand, "Nicetomeetyou!"

Confused, she couldn't keep up with this person's rhythm at all, but out of politeness, she reached out to shake hands with him, but unfortunately she couldn't say "MeToo", in their current position...is it suitable?
