Lin Xi turned her head and snorted arrogantly:

"I don't care. If you don't let me play with you, I'm angry. I can't make you happy without two hot pot meals."

Jiang Li nodded helplessly: "Okay! Then let's have hot pot for supper at my house, okay?"

"That's pretty much it!" Lin Xi smiled with satisfaction.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because he was not the only one eating midnight snacks, but also Pei Qi, plus Xi Kui, a zombie who just didn't want to eat.

Lin Xi's pouted mouth could hang an oil can.

"Sister Li, forget about Shi Kui, why is Pei Qi here too?"

Jiang Li: "If Captain Pei doesn't come, who will cook the hot pot?"

Lin Xi choked, there really was no one more suitable for cooking here than Pei Qi.

It's not that other people can't eat their food, but it's that no one can match Pei Qi's cooking skills.

Jiang Li asked Pei Qi to come here firstly to cook, and secondly because of the fire in the mall.

In the kitchen, Pei Qi was frying short crispy pork when Jiang Li walked in.

Pei Qi picked up a freshly fried one and put it to her mouth:

"Try it and see if it tastes good."

"You don't need to taste the food you make to know it's delicious, but now I'm more concerned about the truth about the mall fire case."

Pei Qi knew that Jiang Li was anxious, so as soon as he received the news, he went to ask his friends in the fire brigade.

"My friend just sent me the information. He has his phone in his pocket. You can take it and read it yourself."

Jiang Li took out his phone from Pei Qi's pocket and unlocked it directly.

Pei Qi raised his eyebrows: "How do you know the password of my mobile phone?"

Jiang Li smiled: "I guess."

Pei Qi couldn't help but chuckle: "That's a pretty accurate guess!"

Jiang Li smiled and said nothing, and opened the WeChat chat interface. The first thing she saw was the chat history between Pei Qi and his father.

Pei Chengyun: [Son, hurry up and take the little carp home. Your father and I will wait for my daughter-in-law until the flowers wither! 】

Pei Qi: [We are working hard, don’t worry! 】

Jiang Li glanced at Pei Qi and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

At this time, a new message popped up on WeChat, which was sent by the friend Pei Qi mentioned who was in the fire brigade.

[Old Pei, there was something very strange about the fire back then, and there is still no conclusion yet. If you want to investigate, you have to report it to the above! 】

Soon, the information was sent.

Jiang Li clicked on the information, and this one was much more detailed than what was recorded in the news reports.

The cause of the fire was that the water heater exploded and set the curtains on fire. However, it was not found out why the fire spread so quickly, and no combustion accelerant was found at the scene.

The fire really fell out of thin air just like Song Jiali said.

There were not many merchants on the seventh floor of the shopping mall at that time, but there were a few. It was even more strange that no one survived.

Pei Qi saw Jiang Li's brows getting tighter and tighter, so he asked:

"what happened?"

"The fire is so strange. I always feel that this fire is not caused by man."

Pei Qi: "Do you suspect that there are unnatural forces at work?"

Jiang Li nodded: "I just have a suspicion. If it is really an unnatural force, why didn't the institute investigate it? With the strength of their supervision, how could they ignore it if it was really a ghost?"

Pei Qi: "I think we can start from the cause of the incident. In fact, there were not all survivors on the seventh floor of the shopping mall."

Jiang Li thought for a moment and then reacted:

"You mean Huang Lin!"

Pei Qi nodded: "Yes, there is also the man who teamed up with the mistress to kill his wife and seize the money. Later, the police solved the case, and the criminal Lou Mingzhe is still serving his sentence in prison."

"Then you will accompany me to find him tomorrow?" Jiang Li blinked and looked at Pei Qi.

Pei Qi also pretended to be arrogant: "Tomorrow, I may not be free!"

Jiang Li picked up a small piece of crispy meat and fed it to Pei Qi's mouth: "What now? Are you free?"

Pei Qi took a bite of the small piece of crispy meat, and also nibbled on Jiang Li's finger, and then nodded with a smile:

"Tomorrow at 12 noon, my lunch break will be dedicated to the girl!"

Jiang Li was amused by Pei Qi and his smile became even brighter.

The two of them didn't notice that Lin Xi and Shi Kui stared at Pei Qi at the kitchen door with almost cannibalistic eyes.

Lin Xi: "Don't you just know how to cook?"

Shi Kui: "Isn't it just to be a bad captain?"

The two of them snorted in unison: "What's so great!"

After saying that, the two glared at each other and said in unison again:

"Don't imitate me!"

Shikui had conflicts with Lin Xi and Pei Qi in the past two days. In anger, he returned to the mother bracelet.

Sensing that Shi Kui was not in the right mood, Jiang Li was puzzled:

"Shikui, what's wrong with you?"

Shikui: "Humph!"

No matter how Jiang Li asked, Shi Kui just kept silent. He was angry at the main point, but he didn't say anything and let her guess!

Jiang Li doesn't tolerate him either. He can get angry if he likes it. He is a zombie anyway, so he won't die from anger.

At eleven o'clock at night, the hot pot was ready. Everyone gathered around the dining table and enjoyed a delicious hot pot feast.

Jiang Li didn't want to be too full, but the food made by Pei Qi was so delicious that she didn't stop her mouth and was full again.

That night, everyone stayed up until early in the morning before going to bed.

Others were fine. Pei Qi had to go to work early in the morning, and Jiang Li looked tired.

"Can't you take half a day off?" Jiang Li asked lazily.

Pei Qi smiled helplessly: "I can ask for leave, but the criminal suspect won't wait for me for half a day."

"Don't worry, I'm used to staying up late, it'll be fine."

"You ate too much last night, so I didn't make breakfast for you. When you wake up, come to the police station to find me, and I'll take you to lunch."

Pei Qi rubbed Jiang Li's hair and said softly: "Go on to sleep!"

"Ok!"

Jiang Li responded, then covered himself with a blanket and fell asleep.

At eleven o'clock at noon, the alarm clock rang, and the others were still awake. Jiang Li got up quietly, washed and changed clothes, and then went straight to the police station.

The weather is too hot today, so Jiang Li's pants are even shorter.

At first she only wore mid-length pants, but later she discovered that in summer it was actually cooler to wear suspenders with shorts.

So, when Pei Qi saw Jiang Li at the door of the police station, she was wearing a burgundy suspender belt and black shorts, revealing her white shoulders and neck and two straight long legs, which made him almost unable to move his eyes away.

"Pei Qi, are you busy?"

Jiang Li ran over to say hello, and Pei Qi came to his senses and quickly averted his eyes:

"You...are you not...not cold when you are dressed like this?"

Jiang Li: "...Are you kidding me? The real-time temperature is thirty-seven degrees. It won't even get cold when I soak in the ice water, okay?"

Pei Qi coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment.

Jiang Li looked at the roots of his red ears and suddenly reacted and smiled:

"Captain Pei, are you feeling shy when you see me?"

Pei Qi rubbed his nose and argued:

"No way! You look very good today. It's different from before."

"If you like it, then I'll show you how to wear it in the summer, okay?"

Jiang Li's words made Pei Qi's heart skip a beat:

"Wha...what?"

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing again: "I'm teasing you!"

"Where to eat for lunch?"

Pei Qi said hurriedly: "There is pickled fish in the canteen today at noon. It is pretty good. I will take you to try it."

Jiang Li: "Okay! Eat quickly and get down to business after eating."
