Be in low spirits

She looked around and fortunately there weren't many people around. "Brother, according to the Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations, Article 66: Those who engage in prostitution or solicit prostitution shall be detained for not less than 10 days but not more than 15 days, and may be fined not more than 5,000 yuan; those with less serious circumstances shall be detained for not more than 5 days or fined not more than 500 yuan. Those who solicit prostitution in public places shall be detained for not more than 5 days or fined not more than 500 yuan." She slapped the table and recited the regulations to him.

"You still know that." He still had no expression on his face and took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and drank it.

"I kept that money to compensate the hotel for fear of dirtying their things." She came forward and explained to him in a low voice.

The boss and his wife who were sitting at the table closest to the door looked at the two of them secretly, wanting to hear clearly what they were saying but not daring to be too obvious.

No wonder she was in the bathroom. He suddenly didn't know how to continue asking and pursed his lips, as if he had done something wrong.

"I'm not that dirty, and I'm not asking you to be responsible. Can you please not take advantage of me..." Before she could finish her words, two figures quickly ran past the restaurant entrance, shouting, "Thief, catch the thief!"

She rushed out grabbing the walkie-talkie, and Li Li followed her. She knocked the thief down with a flying kick, said a few words to the auxiliary police while holding the walkie-talkie, and then pinned the thief to the ground and beat him. Li Li saw that she was in a bad mood, so he quickly pulled the man up and handcuffed the thief. Gradually, many people gathered around, and he took her walkie-talkie and wanted to ask where the auxiliary police were.

The young man rushed over and asked, "What's going on?" Li Li pushed the thief to him and said, "Take him back to the station." He turned around and said to the onlookers, "Go away, it's okay, it's okay."

After the crowd dispersed, he shouted at Kong Zhixi: "Why are you taking it out on me?" His voice was a little high-pitched, with a hint of disappointment in someone who had failed to live up to his expectations.

"I'm not mad at you." She shook off his hand, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the restaurant. The pain in her knee reminded her of what happened that night.

"You regret it, don't you?" He chased after her, grabbed her wrist, and wanted to ask her clearly.

"I'm just worried that you'll have some sequelae. Now that it's over, what else do you want to do?" She wasn't mad at the man she had sex with, but she was mad at the process. She felt more or less cowardly.

She frowned, and even when she approached him to talk, she still looked resistant. She really regretted that she had never thought about taking responsibility from the beginning.

The restaurant's proprietress chased after him with cash in her hand and said, "Officer, you haven't received your money yet." Li Li just stared at the man in front of him and refused to take the money. Kong Zhixi had no choice but to take it herself and said, "Thank you."

"I still have to go to work, boss." She stuffed the money into her pocket and wanted to continue on duty.

"I'm suffering from aftereffects now. Don't you intend to take responsibility?" He refused to let go. He had finally found the chance to make things clear. He couldn't just let her go like that.

"What? Damn, you can't be... Yang" She looked at the proprietress just now and almost said the word "wilt". The proprietress waved her hand at her awkwardly and left.

"My undercover agent is still in the Zhao family. We cannot allow the Zhao family to catch us in this matter, so we have to legalize this relationship." He pulled the person to sit on the spot and talked nonsense seriously.

Is there something wrong with this guy? "Legalization? Doesn't that mean we have to register for marriage? Damn it, Captain Li, I just slept with you for one night, and you told me you want to get married?" There are so many cases of men and women falling in love but not getting married and breaking up halfway through. Isn't this reason too far-fetched?

"Otherwise, neither you nor I will be able to keep our police uniforms." He tried to make his tone heavy and serious, exaggerating the seriousness of the matter.

"I'll think about it." She didn't want to get entangled with him anymore, and she didn't know what kind of mission it was that needed to be covered up by marriage.

Looking at her receding back, he jumped up, clenched his fist, and shouted, "Yes!"

After get off work in the evening, Kong Zhixi made an appointment with a classmate to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, this classmate set the rice bowl for her and filled it with rice, making it level with the bowl, not a bit more. She said, "Your two children are not like you, with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, right?"

"You can't tell now, but he will definitely be the same when he grows up." He served his wife more rice, filling it up to the same level as the bowl, not a bit more.

"Sister-in-law, you must be tired taking care of two children at home, right?" She took out two gifts from her bag, put them on a stool beside her, and said, "These are the gifts I brought for the children. Remember to pick them up when you go back later."

Li Li went to the Municipal Bureau to get the report from Kong Zhiting. While waiting in the forensic room, he chatted with her and soon brought up her sister. "What's the conflict between your father and your sister?"

"Hi, doesn't my dad work at the police station? When my sister was young, my dad was often not at home, so my mom took care of her most of the time. Later, when his job stabilized and I was born, he was able to take time to go home. He thought I was younger, so he favored me in everything. My sister became more dependent on my mom. But the more she relied on my mom, the more uncomfortable my dad felt about her. Later, there were more and more conflicts, to the point that after she started working, she rented a house on her own and was unwilling to go home." She sutured the dead body and covered it with white cloth.

"No wonder I rarely see her at your house." He nodded, wondering if if they registered, he should go there formally to meet the parents or something.

Kong Zhiting rested her hands on the chopping board, thinking of something, and asked, "Captain Li, every time you come back to me, you ask about my sister. Could she be someone you suspect? If anything happens to her, you must tell me, and I will persuade her to turn herself in."

He didn't reply directly, but asked again: "What does she like to do?"

"What? I like to go to the Sports College to watch those athletes." Her sister only has a few hobbies: being an athlete, traveling, and living a life of idleness and waiting to die.

"I can tell from the circle of friends." He muttered softly.

"She wouldn't have really done anything wrong, would she?" She printed out the report, stamped it and handed it to him.

"No, I'm just asking casually. Last time she had a fever, is she recovered?" He took the report and wanted to ask something else, but felt that he was not in the right position to do so.

"Okay, I've had a fever for a whole day and night. I don't know why I suddenly fell ill." She poured herself a glass of water. She also felt that Captain Li was strange. Every time he saw her, he would ask about her sister.

He couldn't stay here any longer, so he had to take the report and leave.

After having dinner with a classmate’s family of three, they came out of the restaurant. The couple was pushing a baby stroller, and she followed them for a walk and chat.

Not long after they walked out, the sister-in-law suddenly remembered that she had left something in the hotel. She threw the child to Kong Zhixi and said, "Help me hold the child. I'll go get it and I'll be back soon."

She held the child carefully and turned to look in the direction where her sister-in-law ran. Her classmate explained: "She always forgets things after giving birth. Don't mind it."

She patted her classmate on the shoulder and said, "Don't mention that she has two children. I, who don't have children, often forget things." After that, she turned around and continued to walk slowly, teasing the child in her arms.

Li Li was driving by and saw all her interactions with the child's father. During the day, she said she was considering registering with him, and now she was talking and laughing with another man while holding her child. No wonder she would regret it!

After get off work in the evening, he drove to Cuiyuan, walked upstairs and knocked on her door.

Kong Zhixi saw him through the cat's eye. Why was this man still haunting her? She took off her mask, opened the door and said, "I said I'll think about it. Are you so anxious?"

With a sullen face, he walked straight to the sofa and sat down, asking, "There's no time. What do you think?" Although the house was old, she had decorated it very warmly.

There was a beige sofa for two people, and a movable corner table on the sofa with a mirror on it, beige curtains, and an outdoor table and chairs on the balcony, with an old clay blue and white tea set on it. There was no TV, and there were some books in the chests on both sides, and there was a bouquet of camellia flowers on top.

The dining table is also a small solid wood dining table. On the table is a laptop and two rattan woven chairs. Several paintings are hung in an alternating pattern on the TV wall, including camellia, bamboo leaves, sunlight, and a pair of discordant dark-colored butterflies.

The warm light made the person feel sleepy. He seemed to have found an ideal safe haven, and suddenly he had the idea of ​​living here forever and not going anywhere.
