Invade the World

  Chapter 39 Sister and Brother

  The situation is a bit beyond expectations.

  The two of them had just walked out of the long road covered by trees, but they happened to collide with a group of people coming back from the warehouse behind.

  The two people walking in the front were wearing police uniforms, and the woman with the ponytail noticed them. It might be that the two young students walking together in the hospital late at night were a bit conspicuous, so they walked straight towards them.

   "You said there is a way... she just walked towards us!"

Lin Xingjie complained.

   "Don't worry." Xu Xiangyang was still very calm, "Speaking of which, do you recognize her?"

"what?"

  Lin Xingjie looked at it for a while, only to think that the other party looked a little familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember who it was.

   "That's my sister." Xu Xiangyang replied naturally, "Didn't you still want to see her before?"

"what…"

   "She drove past me before. If I was spotted by her at that time, I would definitely be caught and unable to get in, so I hurriedly avoided."

  He also exhorted:

   "However, it's different after I came out. I just said that I came to the hospital to take care of you. Don't get caught up."

"no problem."

   Lin Xingjie nodded.

  At the thought of meeting the family of a good friend, she became nervous for no reason.

  *

  In the night, two policemen walked back from the direction of the warehouse.

  They and the people in the security department of the hospital have already agreed that the safety of internal medical staff and patients must first be ensured, and then manual patrols will be arranged to monitor various passages. The most important thing is to keep an eye on the monitoring.

   "Little Li, you don't seem to be in a good state of mind."

  The man who was talking with a smile was a man in his 50s or 60s, his face was full of traces left by years of wind and frost, and his temples were pale.

  "I’m a little tired. But I’ve gotten used to it in the past few years. After all, I have encountered a big case and no one in the city can relax."

  Li Qinglian sighed slightly.

This originally heroic young woman looked a little tired now, her eyes were slightly black, and her full cheeks were a little thin. It was obviously because of the long busy life and the upside-down life of day and night, only those bright pairs Although his eyes are tired, they are still bright.

   "Old people like Teacher Zhou, who retired a few years earlier, have been brought back to help. It seems that they are really stretched. If you want to talk about hard work, it is your hard work."

"Haha, serve the people. It's not hard or hard." The old policeman laughed. "Actually, I am fine. I am at home and I have nothing to do. Not to mention that the superior did not give me too heavy a task. I said, it’s your young people running around that are more tired."

"I…"

   "Hey, that's it for your kind words, don't keep coming back and forth." Teacher Zhou waved his hand and looked serious, "Officer Li, what do you think of the scene over there?"

  "No one has been injured at the moment. It is a good thing. The problem is that there are no witnesses." Li Qinglian replied, "In terms of the degree of damage at the scene, it is not like what can be done by one person, but more like a whole demolition team."

"I heard from the security guard that the time interval between his patrols to that location is generally half an hour, and no abnormalities were found during the last round of patrols." She guessed, "it can cause damage to buildings of this scale in a short period of time. Is it possible to use home-made explosives?"

   "...If this is the case, it is still very dangerous."

   While the old policeman murmured, he took out a wrinkled pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He was about to draw out one, suddenly he seemed to realize something, with a smile on his face.

"Okay?"

   "It's okay, I don't mind."

  Li Qinglian shook her head.

"good."

   Seeing that the other party placed one in a neat spot, he took a sip, but did not answer immediately. Li Qinglian thought for a while and asked tentatively:

   "Ms. Zhou, you seem to have other ideas?"

   "Huh? Why do you ask?"

   "I was thinking just now that you were not surprised when you saw the scene, and did not ask them about explosives. Instead, you asked about the hospitalized patients first..."

  Although it is necessary to understand the situation in a comprehensive and detailed manner, there should always be a sequence. It happened in a warehouse, and only outsiders were able to carry tools. Why would they suddenly mention the matter of inpatients? Unless someone has long known that there is a connection between the two.

  "What you said about explosives, you have to send someone to investigate the scene. We just stopped by to see the situation and rule out the danger. Patients, I care about whether they will be frightened, that's all."

  Li Qinglian did not speak.

  During this period, a case attracted everyone’s attention.

  This is a serial homicide case in Dongcheng District, and the victims are all weird to death. Strictly speaking, it is a case that will cause widespread concern. It's just that the deceased were all uneasy vagrants or scumbags, and they have not yet seen the news.

  At first, the police thought that the local underground forces had developed into gang struggles, and paid great attention to them. They launched large-scale searches in nearby areas, but they soon discovered that this was not the case:

  It is very likely that there is only one murderer, or it is unlikely that the group committed the crime, otherwise the traces left on the scene could not be so scarce.

  The whole case was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Because according to the results of some sophisticated inspections, the truth of these murders that have been restored is incredible, and it sounds like humans can't do it at all.

  Some things go too deep, which will only make people feel confused.

  Of the relevant personnel, she is not the only one who feels puzzled, but for people engaged in this kind of profession, the most important thing is the things in their post

  Everyone is busy now, who is still thinking about nosy?

  However, others can ignore and ignore, but she can’t.

  In addition to her job, Li Qinglian has obsessions that she needs to solve, and even the reason she wants to be a policeman is related to this.

  She hesitated,

   "Ms. Zhou, will it be related to the case we are studying?"

  Ms. Zhou did not answer, but instead asked:

   "Why do you think this way? I don't think most people think that these two events are related."

  Li Qinglian keenly captured the implicit meaning in the other party's words.

  Don’t "normal people" think?

   "In that case," she asked with a smile, "Can you let me listen to the opinions of the older generation?"

  The rising smoke enveloped the expression on the old policeman’s face, only to hear him reply calmly.

   "First do the work now before talking. We still have to look at the monitoring."

"…I see."

  Li Qinglian is not too discouraged. Ten years have passed, and all the sighs that can be sighed have been sighed. On the other hand, as long as there is a little bit of hope, it is a great encouragement to her.

  After walking for a while, Li Qinglian suddenly noticed a familiar face appeared in front of her.

  Although she is still some distance away, she still cannot even recognize her relatives who live under the same roof.

   "Ms. Zhou, I will go see the situation."

  She said immediately.

   "Well, you said the little couple in front of you?"

The old policeman squinted his eyes and looked at the two young people who were sticking together intimately and not far away. He only felt a youthful breath rushing to his face and saw them whispering to each other like no one, as if gleaming in the night. Glowing, it flashed to the point that his middle-aged and old man could hardly open his eyes.

"Oh, look at this slimy look. The young people are so courageous right now. I think they are not old high school students, right? I was sneaky holding a small hand at that time. How do they look like them, better than old couples and old wives? It’s all enthusiastic."

   Teacher Zhou said jokingly, and couldn't help but laugh.

Some elderly people like him tend to be conservative. They can't help but frown when they see this sight. They say "contradictory", but this old policeman belongs to the enlightened category, and he persuades him on the other hand. :

   "But Xiao Li, we are not teachers in school, so just ignore the issue of premature love, right?"

   "That's my brother."

  Li Qinglian’s answer is concise and concise.

  Ms. Zhou coughed because of the smoke.

  It’s not that I don’t want to help you, kid. The old policeman glanced at the young man over there with a little pity. Who made you unlucky enough to be hit by your sister.

  For a high school student of this age, it’s probably a thunderbolt for a puppies to be discovered by family members?

  *

  Of course, the real situation is different from what the old policeman imagined.

  Li Qinglian walked in front of them, first looked up and down the long-haired girl who was holding her brother's arm tightly for a while, then turned her head to look at Xu Xiangyang, and asked.

   "Is she the same female classmate you said that you want to stay at home temporarily?"

"right…"

Before he could answer, Lin Xingjie interrupted the conversation.

"Yes!"

  The girl took the lead to speak, and then bowed seriously and thanked her.

  "Thank you for lending me the room."

   "Oh, it doesn't matter."

  Li Qinglian raised her brows and asked straightforwardly.

   "So, what's the matter with you two tonight? Xu Xiangyang, why are you not at home, but in the hospital? Are you sick?"

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head.

   "I came with her."

  Li Qinglian noticed the girl's pale face and the sweat on her forehead, but she didn't doubt it.

   "Well, nothing happened, right?"

   "No." Xu Xiangyang replied with a natural expression, "The doctor checked and said that there was nothing serious, but that she was a little bit anemia. Let her go back and take a good rest, and we both came out by the way."

  At the end, he pretended to be curious and asked:

   "Sister, how about you? Come here so late, maybe it was some murder in the hospital, right?"

  Li Qinglian smiled, stretched out her hand and rubbed her brother's head.

  "Let’s worry less about the work of adults."

  After a few small chats, Xu Xiangyang asked:

   "Can you let her stay in our house for another night tonight?"

  Li Qinglian was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the girl standing next to her brother again.

  The long-haired girl tightened her lips, her expression looked a little nervous, but she did not object.

   "It's okay..."

  She wanted to ask the girl’s family in detail, but she heard Xu Xiangyang speak again.

  This time, he said something that shocked the two women, one big and one small present:

  "Also, sister, can you let Lin Xingjie stay in our house for a while?"
