Be in low spirits

Li Li sat in front of the computer, tapping his pen, thinking about what he recalled last night. It was just as Kong Zhixi said. She was a seconded police officer. They didn't have much contact. He noticed her because she had the same name as Cheng Xi, with the word "Xi". When they first met, he called her Xixi. He didn't know why he went to that pub. He only remembered that someone asked him to go there and asked him to get something. He drank the glass of wine and got the thing. Later, he saw her somehow. She sent him to the hotel and put him in the bathtub for a cold bath. When she came in, he couldn't control himself and held her down and kissed her.

He touched his heartbeat and thought about Cheng Xi's words: She is different from us, she has a heartbeat and a pulse, her time is running out, she wants to go back, what they want to go back to is reincarnation. In other words, the couple is actually in a state of death, but now he has a heartbeat again, he hates it a little, why can't he remember more? Maybe if he remembers the person who wants to kill him and tells Kong Zhixi directly, maybe she can go back.

Kong Zhixi was in the forensic room, flipping through the instruments in the room. Lao Sui was sitting in front of the computer and asked her nonchalantly, "Are you two back together?"

"Get back together? We've never been together, so how can there be any talk of getting back together?" She felt a little guilty.

"Why do you two look so happy?" He still sat there typing on the keyboard, not even looking at her.

"I...what is this?" Kong Zhixi asked while fiddling with something that looked like a suitcase.

"Electric craniotome, don't move. Don't you have any cases to investigate today?" Old Sui sighed, stood up and put away the craniotome. "Yes, listen to me and help me analyze it."

"Go find Lao Li to investigate the case. Go ahead." Lao Sui just wanted to get rid of her so that he could take care of the case himself.

Kong Zhixi returned to the office, opened her notebook, and drew a few locations: the abandoned building, the old building area, the waste recycling station, Zhang Huizhi, and the hotel. "Why don't we go to Zhang Huizhi's place to take a look?" Li Li suggested standing behind her.

"it is good."

The two drove to Zhang Huizhi's large flat, where her belongings were still scattered. There was no personal information about Zhang Huizhi, only some decorations. It seemed that it was planned in advance, and the robbery was just a reason for her to join the circle, but who instructed her to do this?

Li Li looked at her searching here and there, hesitating whether to tell him what he remembered.

"Can you ask Xiao Zhao to check Zhang Huizhi's interpersonal relationships? Oh, by the way, her family has a nanny named Aunt Shen." She turned to ask him, but saw that he was looking at her with a lonely look in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll ask her." Li Li dodged and quickly recovered. He left the room and sent a message to Xiao Zhao in the stairwell.

When he came back, Kong Zhixi asked, "What do you remember?" That look had never appeared before.

"I...what?" Li Li hadn't figured out how to tell her, nor did he know what would happen to her in the future.

"You must have remembered something. Why are you hiding it from me?" Kong Zhixi stared at him, wanting to hear the truth from him.

Li Li found a stool and sat down, then pushed another stool in front of her, motioning her to sit down, sighed, and said, "Cheng Xi said that you are different from us, and you don't have much time left."

Kong Zhixi sat down, "What do you mean?"

"You have a heartbeat and a pulse. As long as you remember the past, you can return to the present."

"My heart is beating, but you have it too!" Maybe she was really moved, and the first person she thought of was him.

He held out his wrist, and Kong Zhixi felt it. Indeed, there was no pulse. "What do you mean by different?"

"She said that you will return to reality and I will return to reincarnation." Li Li became dejected again when he said this.

Kong Zhixi was silent. It turned out that this was a death farewell. "I don't have much time. Does that mean that if I miss it, I will go to reincarnation like you guys?"

Li Li was shocked! She actually made such a plan! "You can go back, as long as you remember everything in reality, you can go back!" The flat may be too big, and these words echoed in the house.

She really had to go back, to prove her worth to her father, to get his affirmation, to make up for the recognition she had been missing for many years. No matter whether she was a man or a woman, no one could belittle her existence.

"Every time I regain my memory, it's after I'm in danger and seriously injured. If I remember everything, it's unknown whether I can wake up here." Kong Zhixi had no confidence.

"And I'm here. Nothing will happen to you while I'm here." Li Li grabbed her hand and looked at her firmly. Kong Zhixi pulled her hand away. The last time she faced death was at her grandfather's funeral. She took a flight at four in the morning. It was really hard. She couldn't eat or sleep for two days and two nights. If she really returned to reality alone, how would she face her dead husband, and how would she explain to her father that she had become a widow?

"A few days ago, I found the people at the scrapyard. They said that a child sent the van there, and the child took the money and rode back on a bicycle. I found an area of ​​old buildings that was not far from the scrapyard, so it was suitable to ride a bicycle there." She talked about the case, unwilling to face this dead end.

"Let's go to the scrapyard and take a look." Li Li stood up and followed her instructions.

The distance was quite far, so Kong Zhixi used the pillow in the back seat to support her waist and took a nap. The heavy rain had stopped at some point, and the unique smell of soil in spring also made her feel better.

When they arrived at the scrapyard, Li Li grabbed the person in charge and asked him again, asking a few more questions about the style of the bicycle. Then he drove to find the old building area she mentioned. The property management of the old building area had already gone off work, so he could only come back tomorrow.

When they got home, they were both exhausted. Li Li hung the sheets in the washing machine and said, "Let's go out for dinner."

Kong Zhixi lay on the sofa and said lazily, "Hmm", unwilling to get up. Li Li sat next to her, stroked her waist, and said, "Are you tired last night?"

Kong Zhixi jumped up quickly and said, "Didn't we say we were going to eat?" She went to the entrance to change her shoes. Li Li found it funny that she was still so shy even though she had already broken through the veil.

At night, Kong Zhixi came out of the shower and saw Li Li lying on her bed reading a book. She turned around and looked at him, feeling a little helpless: "You... why are you lying here?"

"The sheets are wet, there's no quilt." Li Li said confidently. Kong Zhixi glanced at the sheets on the balcony and didn't know how to refute for a moment. "Then...then...it...you only have one set of sheets?"

Li Li nodded and laughed. It was really fun to tease her.

"Then...I...you...where should I sleep?" She was a little angry, but didn't know how to refute his excessive request.

Li Li patted the bed beside him, looking at her anxious expression with a half-smile. "I...I'll sleep on the sofa." She took a pillow, found some clothes, and lay down on the sofa.

Li Li put down the book, went to the sofa, carried her to the bed, held her struggling hands, leaned close to her and said, "Just sleep, shush." ​​He put his ring finger on his lips. "If you move again, I'm not sure!" She calmed down, stopped struggling, and fell asleep on her side.

Seeing that she was quiet, he felt relieved, turned off the lights, and fell asleep with her in his arms.

The two went to the property management of the old building area early in the morning. Li Li held up the bicycle he had drawn and asked, "Are there any bicycles like this in this area?" Several elderly people gathered around him and said in unison, "Aren't all the bicycles you drew like this?"

"What is this? A symbol? Double happiness?"

"Who has ever noticed that there are so many households with bicycles?"

"Why don't you go to the parking shed and have a look there? It might be faster."

"Hey, this looks a bit like Old Xu's."

"No, no, Lao Huang and his friends have something like this, too."

"It's hard to tell since all bikes look the same."

"Look here, there is a diamond-shaped logo. Do many people have this brand?" Kong Zhixi interrupted.

"Oops, your sign is too small, no one can remember it."

"You might as well go to those parking sheds and find them yourself." The uncles said more and more excitedly. Kong Zhixi had no choice but to drag Li Li to look at several parking sheds and found more than 20 cars with the same logo.

"Changshi's car, I wonder if it has anything to do with them." Li Li wiped off the dust from the bicycle on the logo. He vaguely felt that this matter was related to Zhang Huizhi.
