Be in low spirits

Li Li appeared between the two of them. Kong Zhixi quickly pushed Liu Zheqi away and said, "I hope Mr. Liu can do what he said."

Li Li pulled her away quickly. When they reached the parking lot, he threw the keys to Kong Zhixi and said coldly, "You drive."

She often couldn't figure out the boss' temper, thinking that the charred corpse case was not going well. He sat in the passenger seat, not saying a word, and his breathing was not smooth. The air pressure in the car rose rapidly with his unhappiness. Kong Zhixi quietly opened the window.

"Didn't I tell you to try not to have any contact with Liu Zheqi?" Li Li couldn't help but speak.

"We... were just looking for Li Jing, so we met each other. Besides, how can we solve the case without any contact?" Kong Zhixi explained.

Li Li sighed. He didn't want to care about it, but the pain in his heart forced him to care.

"The case is solved?"

"Well, Li Jing will turn himself in when he wakes up."

Li Li wanted to say something, but couldn't. When he was almost home, Li Li directed his way to the supermarket to buy some vegetables.

Kong Zhixi looked at the fish and crabs on the table, not knowing where to start. Li Li picked up the fish, threw it into the sink, and said, "Let me do it." Kong Zhixi nodded, but seeing his stern face, she didn't dare to say anything more.

During the meal, Kong Zhixi asked him, "Have you finished investigating the charred corpse case?"

"We're eating, don't talk about such a depressing topic." He was still serious.

Kong Zhixi was also a little angry. Although he was the boss, she didn't sell everything to him, and she always had to take care of his emotions. "If you think I did something wrong, you can just say it. It's uncomfortable to keep a straight face all the time." She said sarcastically.

"You said Li Jing would turn himself in, which means Liu Zheqi is not the murderer. Even if he is sentenced, Li Jing will be sentenced more severely. Li Jing has lived with him for so many years. Isn't this situation his fault?"

"I never said he has no problems! And aren't your remarks directed at him?" This time Kong Zhixi realized that the problem was with Liu Zheqi.

"The most taboo thing in investigating a case is to have too much emotional communication with the suspect, even if it's just sympathy. Don't you understand?" Li Li raised his voice a few degrees.

"I...how can I have any emotional exchange? Yes, I may have some sympathy for Li Jing, but this...human beings are not plants or trees, aren't these all human nature?" Kong Zhixi was so angry that she didn't want to eat.

"You still say no? You hugged each other in the hospital today? If that doesn't count, then what does? Kissing each other?" When this was mentioned, Li Li's heart began to ache again.

Kong Zhixi was so angry that her breathing began to become a little difficult. What was this man talking about for no apparent reason? She told him about leaving the country, and he brought up Liu Zheqi. She simply stopped eating and slumped in her chair, heavily putting down her chopsticks.

"You just couldn't stand Liu Zheqi from the beginning to the end of this case! Are you very professional? Aren't you also looking at people with tinted glasses?"

Li Li stopped eating: "I will be in charge of the trial tomorrow." Li Li also felt that he had said too much and wanted to bring the topic back to the case itself.

Kong Zhixi didn't want to argue with him, so she sat on the sofa and drank water in big gulps.

In the middle of the night, Kong Zhixi was too hungry to sleep, so she got up to look for something to eat. Li Li was also too angry to sleep in his room, tossing and turning. Hearing a noise coming from the kitchen, he thought it might be a staircase, so he went out.

Kong Zhixi boiled the water and turned around to see Li Li standing behind her. She was startled and the water spilled on her feet. She reluctantly put the water on the table. Li Li quickly took off her shoes, looked at her feet, blew on them, and then helped her sit on the sofa.

"I'll apply some medicine for you, wait a minute." He went to turn over the medicine. Kong Zhixi was already irritable because of hunger, and now she was even more annoyed. "Tsk, please make some noise when you walk next time." She rubbed her leg, trying to see the wound on her foot clearly.

Li Li brought the medicine and applied it carefully to her. Kong Zhixi felt the sting of the medicine and subconsciously cried out, "Hiss~"

Li Li stammered, "I'm sorry." Kong Zhixi didn't hear clearly and asked, "What?" Li Li lifted her feet and placed them on his knees, sat on the coffee table, and gently rubbed her feet with his hands. Under the dim light, their eyes met, and Li Li once again whispered "I'm sorry."

The atmosphere gradually became somewhat ambiguous, and Kong Zhixi also fell into Li Li's affectionate eyes. She felt that this scene was familiar, but she couldn't remember it. The two were staring at each other in a trance, and Kong Zhixi's stomach started to growl. The two of them woke up at once, and she quickly pulled her feet back. Li Li also pointed to the kitchen awkwardly and said, "I'll cook noodles for you."

The next day, Liu Zheqi surrendered himself with his passport just as he had said.

Kong Zhixi interrogated Li Jing, and Li Li interrogated Liu Zheqi. As Liu Zheqi said, Li Jing killed Dean Zhao and Li Xiuli.

According to Li Jing, Li Xiuli was called by Liu Zheqi, and he would go there at a fixed time every week, but he deliberately avoided Li Jing's time to go home. He said it was a massage, but in fact it was also for venting. That day, Li Jing forgot something, so she went home to get it, and then she saw the two naked. She couldn't stand such stimulation, so she became ill and accidentally killed her.

Later, Liu Zheqi dealt with her body, and then took advantage of her illness to have her meet Director Zhao, who pulled out her oxygen tube, and then put it back in after she died.

Liu Zheqi had long known that Dean Zhao had killed his own brother, so he used this incident to threaten him. He snatched the gun from his hand and left it to Li Jing.

Even during the interrogation, Liu Zheqi kept quibbling, saying that all this was for the purpose of leaving the country. He had an almost perverted desire to control leaving the country.

There were many discrepancies in the two people's testimonies, but the deaths of the two were indeed caused by Li Jing. However, considering that she herself had a mental illness, she was kept in a mental hospital. As for Liu Zheqi, he was not sentenced to many years because he obtained the forgiveness of the victim's family and paid a lot of money.

Kong Zhixi sat on the sofa, eating loquats and watching TV, thinking about where to go to relax after solving the case. As a result, Li Li bought a bag of vegetables and said that they could have a big meal today.

The two of them spent some peaceful and boring days together. Kong Zhixi also bought some things for herself and changed her skin, but it looked like a hospital gown.

Then one morning at around 5 o'clock, Xiao Zhao called and rushed to the crime scene. It was the mall where the two of them had been shopping. A naked male corpse was hanging on the sliding lock on the roof of the mall. His hands were almost strangled and there was a tattoo of the three words "mandala" on his waist. The man was muscular and good-looking. He was about 27 or 8 years old and had no visible skin injuries. The person who reported the case was the security guard on patrol in the mall. He claimed that he had not found anything unusual when he was in the monitoring room, but when he came out to patrol, he saw the person hanging there and was so scared that he quickly called the police.

According to the mall staff, the cableway is used to hang billboards in the mall and few people use it normally. Sometimes it is used to hang ribbons or release balloons during activities. The control switch is also located in the weak current room on the roof. The weak current rooms in the entire mall have the same lock, so there is only one key. However, it is usually not locked. One reason is that no one will open the door and there is nothing to steal inside. The other reason is that it is convenient for maintenance personnel.

Kong Zhixi watched the staff clean up the body and carry it back to the forensic room, so she planned to follow the car back to the forensic room, but Li Li asked her to stay and check the monitoring room and each low-voltage room.

By the time she finished checking the surveillance cameras and the weak-current room in the mall and was about to go back to the bureau, it was already night. Li Li called her and asked her where she was and said he was going to pick her up. She had no choice but to wait for him in front of the mall gate.

In the car, Li Li asked, "Did you notice the three words tattooed on the body?"

"Well, it looks like a new tattoo. I wonder if it was done by the murderer."

"Let's see what Old Sui says tomorrow."

"Will there be any news from Xiao Zhao tomorrow?"

"I don't know, but I checked with people in the mall today and none of them knew the deceased."

"Mandragora, I don't know if it has any meaning."
