Now thinking back, was her reaction to the gift too indifferent? Would it make him unhappy?

She really had no habit of wearing jewelry, but she couldn't help taking it out and putting the necklace around her neck. Just as she was about to look in the mirror, there was a knock on the door.

She quickly took the necklace off her neck, put it back in the box, and put the box in the drawer.

"Come in."

"Forensic Doctor Xiao, what time do you go to bed?"

Xiao Tianruo looked at the time and said, "I usually stay up very late, so you should go to bed first."

"Okay, then I'll sleep on the floor in your bedroom and you can sleep on the bed."

She didn't dare sleep alone, but sleeping next to Xiao Tianruo always reminded her of those horrific nude photos. After thinking it over, she decided to sleep on the floor.

"what ever."

It was just fine that they weren't sleeping in the same bed with her. She didn't want to sleep in the same bed with strangers. But did these people mind so much the fact that she was a forensic doctor?

No, it should be said that it was fear. As soon as I saw her, I could think of the fear she had when she touched corpses every day.

When Xiao Tianruo returned to the bedroom, the light was on and Chen Mo had indeed fallen asleep on the floor. Xiao Tianruo glanced at her and went to bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Although Shao Xiu didn't mind her job and was not afraid of the corpses at all, he would definitely feel uncomfortable if she talked to him about her work too much.

Thinking of this, she suddenly recalled the night they got their marriage certificate. She took the initiative to talk to Shao Xiu about dissecting and suturing the body parts. Thinking about it now, she really wanted to slap herself.

If she hadn't said it, they would have had sex that night.

"Xiao Tianruo, you really don't know how to get along with living people. From now on, you can't tell him about your work or the cases you handled. It's nothing to do with him, so why do you want to make him feel uncomfortable?"

Xiao Tianruo secretly told herself that when she was with Shao Xiu in the future, their topic would no longer be her work.

The next day, Chen Mo followed her to the police station, and as soon as she entered, her colleagues teased her.

"Forensic Doctor Xiao, if someone didn't know, they would think you had a new apprentice."

"Stop talking nonsense and work hard." Xiao Tianruo then said to Chen Mo, "Director Liao is here today, and You Fei is here too. Go and tell them that you're applying for police protection. No matter what the result is, I won't take you in tonight."

"Got it, Forensic Doctor Xiao."

Afterwards, Chen Mo went to find Director Liao. Under Director Liao's coordination, a formal police force was sent to protect Chen Mo this time. After hearing this, Xiao Tianruo felt relieved, and she didn't have to worry about it anymore.

After get off work, she went to the store and learned that she wanted to give it to her husband. The salesperson asked, "What color does your husband like? I can recommend it to you."

What color did Shao Xiu like? She really didn't know.

"In your experience, what color watches do men like most?"

Hearing Xiao Tianruo's question, the shopping guide smiled and said, "Then I will recommend a few of our classic models."

"it is good."

After that, the shopping guide recommended several models to her. She picked for a long time and finally chose one: "Please pack this watch for me."

"Ma'am, you have a very good eye. This watch has the highest praise. Your husband will definitely like it when he receives it."

Xiao Tianruo smiled. She was also looking forward to how Shao Xiu would look when he received the watch.

In the next few days, Shao Zheng was participating in intensive training and had no time at all, so he did not contact Xiao Tianruo.

-

Friday came in a blink of an eye, and Director Liao got very angry at the morning meeting.

"How many days has it been since the wanted warrant was issued? Where is the murderer you caught?"

After hearing this, the entire criminal investigation team hung their heads.

"This month Director Lu is visiting various municipal bureaus for inspections, and he will come to our office next week. If he asks us about the cases we are handling recently, how should we answer?

If the provincial department holds you accountable, it won't be as simple as me scolding you at the meeting. I don't care what method you use, but you must catch the murderer before Director Lu comes to inspect!"

"Yes, Director Liao." You Fei replied.

"I went to a meeting at the provincial government this afternoon, and I had to avoid Director Lu. You guys really made me proud!"

After Liao Feng finished speaking, he turned and walked out. After he walked out, the entire conference room fell silent.

"What are you still doing here? Everyone, move out. No one is allowed to rest until Xing Tao is captured!" You Fei ordered.

After hearing this, everyone was in despair, but there was nothing they could do.

"We are short of manpower, so we have deployed all the police forces we can, including auxiliary police."

"Got it, Captain Yu."

They all went out, but Xiao Tianruo was still sitting in her seat. You Fei had said that there were not enough people. If it were usual, she would definitely take the initiative to ask to help, but today was Friday, and she had agreed to go find Shao Xiu after get off work.

If she asked for help now and Xing Tao couldn't be caught, she would confess by the weekend.

It was not part of her job. Helping was a favor, not helping was her duty, so she decided to pretend she didn't hear it.

Although Xiao Tianruo didn't look up, she could feel You Fei glaring at her before walking out.

The entire criminal investigation team was out in full force, and Director Liao also went to the provincial government for a meeting in the afternoon, so she was left with some quiet time, just waiting to drive to find Shao Xiu after get off work.

Shao Xiuzhen, who had been intensively training this week, felt like the days were passing by like years. Finally, he made it to Friday. Today, he completed his training subjects early and planned to return to the military compound to wait for Xiao Tianruo.

While walking out of the military area, he dialed her phone. After a few rings, no one answered. At this time, he saw Leng Qing not far away. She seemed dizzy and went to hold the wall. She looked very uncomfortable. Shao Xiu quickly hung up the phone and ran towards Leng Qing.

"Colonel Leng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Just a little dizzy."

"Dizziness?"

Leng Qing nodded and explained, "I've been feeling groggy lately and always want to sleep, but when I do I get a headache, so I wanted to go out for a walk, but..."

She felt dizzy when the virus broke out before. Could it be that the virus has not been completely eliminated from her body?

"I'll take you to the hospital right away."

In her condition, she cannot be treated in the military clinic, so she has to go to the military hospital immediately.

"No need. Jun Lin went to the provincial government for a meeting. He should be back soon. When he comes back, I will..."

"How can you wait if you're not feeling well? I'll call the commander to report later."

Shao Xiu hurriedly drove the car and took Leng Qing to the military hospital. Leng Qing felt very uncomfortable along the way. Seeing her like this, he was really worried. Was it really because the virus was not completely cleared? What if it relapsed again?

When Xiao Tianruo came back from the bathroom, she found a missed call from Shao Xiu. She immediately called Shao Xiu back, but Shao Xiu was rushing to the hospital and had no time to answer the call.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unanswered..."

No one answered?

"Shao Xiu, are you busy again? I was in the bathroom when you called me just now, so I didn't hear you."

After sending the message and waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, she called him again and this time he answered.

"Hello, Tianruo." His voice was heavy and low, and it was very noisy on the other end of the line.

"Where are you now? It sounds so chaotic over there."

"I'm in the military hospital."

"You are in the military hospital?" Xiao Tianruo immediately became nervous when he heard that he was in the hospital. "Were you injured during training?"

Later, Shao Xiu didn't hear what Xiao Tianruo asked. Just then, the doctor called him and Leng Qing came out of the examination room.

"Tian Ruo, I won't tell you yet."

After hearing Shao Xiu hang up the phone, Xiao Tianruo's heart beat faster. He had just told her that he would have intensive training this week, and now he was in the hospital. He must have been injured during training. And from his voice just now, he must have been seriously injured.

Thinking of this, she quickly grabbed the car keys and ran out in a hurry. As soon as she walked out of the office door, she saw You Fei coming back.

"There's a new situation. Come with me right away..."

"I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do right now. Please ask the assistant medical examiner to go first. We can talk about anything else when I come back."

Seeing that she hurried out before he could finish, You Fei was also annoyed: "Xiao Tianruo, do you still have any sense of organization and discipline? Today I said that we were short of manpower, and you pretended not to hear me and didn't help, but now there is a serious situation, and you are leaving early!"

"I really have something urgent to do. If there is any serious situation, please send me a message and I will take a look when I am done with my work." After saying that, without waiting for You Fei to complain, Xiao Tianruo ran out quickly.
