Be in low spirits

"If you were a policeman, maybe it might be possible, but you are a criminal police!" Kong Zhixi stretched her foot back as she said this, rubbing the ice pack herself, tears in her eyes.

Li Li sat on the coffee table, wiped her tears, and said, "What did Cheng Xi tell you?"

"Nothing." She twitched twice again. Originally, she disdained to use such tearful means, but she found that this trick was very effective on Li Li.

"Hey, if you continue to get hurt like this, I will feel so bad." Li Li held her face and said seriously. "Some things must be clarified." Kong Zhixi also looked at him sincerely.

"Where did you go?" Li Li put her face down, stood up, coughed twice, and poured himself a glass of water. "I went to see Jia Jia. She hasn't contacted me. I'm a little worried. She said she had something to give me."

"Found it?" He sat down again, took the ice pack from her hand and rubbed it for her.

"No, the neighbor said they went to the city, but they didn't say where they went. They came back when they couldn't find me."

"Then I'll go with you to look for it tomorrow. Take a rest today. Does the wound still hurt?"

Kong Zhixi shook his head, and he stood up and threw the ice pack into the trash can. "Then don't go to the hospital today, eat your own food, and don't run around today." Kong Zhixi nodded, and he went out.

At around 2 p.m., Kong Zhixi received a call from Jiajia, who called for help, gave her apartment address, and hung up the phone in a hurry. She called out anxiously, as if the bad guys had already broken through their door, and Kong Zhixi became anxious as well, so she went downstairs and took a taxi to rush over.

The apartment building was a bit old, and there was only an old man reading a newspaper downstairs. When he saw her coming, he banged the landline on the table and pointed at her in a bad manner and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing! Do you know how to register?"

Kong Zhixi was running very fast, but she had to brake urgently after hearing the noise, and wrote a few words in the registration book. "Uncle, are there any old and young people who have registered to stay in the next two days?" She wanted to go upstairs anxiously, but she didn't know which room they lived in.

"There are so many people checking in every day, how can I remember them all?" The old man shook his hands and sat down to read his newspaper again, unwilling to say another word. Kong Zhixi had no choice but to go upstairs and look for it floor by floor.

The apartment was old, the conditions were average, and the corridor was very dark. Jia Jia's phone was turned off. Kong Zhixi had a bad feeling. The more she knocked on the door, the more she felt that danger was approaching. She wanted to find them quickly, but was also afraid to find them.

She was scolded every time she knocked on a door, but she didn't care about it anymore. There weren't many people living in the apartment. There were 20 to 30 rooms on one floor, but only four or five families lived there. There were all kinds of people, orphans, widows, single men and women, and some migrant workers crowded in one room. The more Kong Zhixi saw these people, the more she felt that Jiajia and the others were in danger.

When she ran to the fifth floor, she saw a room with the door ajar. When she pushed the door open, Jia Jia's grandmother was already lying on the ground with her eyes open. Kong Zhixi squatted down, hugged her head and shouted, "Grandma, grandma, wake up!" She patted her face with her hand. Grandma opened her eyes weakly and raised her hand. Kong Zhixi grabbed her hand, knelt down, bent down, put her ear close to her face, and asked, "What did you say?"

Grandma said with her last breath: "Necklace, Jiajia..." Kong Zhixi raised her head and looked in her clothes pockets. There was nothing in them. There was a necklace in her other hand. Then grandma lost her strength and fainted. She wanted to call someone to send someone to the hospital, and then someone passing by the door shouted.

"Ah! Murder, murder." Kong Zhixi looked at the blood on her hands and threw the necklace in her grandmother's hand into her chest. Then she was identified as the murderer. Although her grandmother was sent to the hospital, she could only wait for the criminal police to arrive at the scene.

When Li Li arrived, his face looked even uglier. There were many people at the scene, so he had to handcuff her. At that time, it was still light, and she hadn't found Jia Jia yet.

After getting in the police car, Kong Zhixi said, "Jia Jia is missing. We need to find her as soon as possible." Li Li sighed and said with a dark face, "Now you should take care of yourself."

"No, Jiajia is in danger now!" She didn't care at all that her hands were red from being rubbed by the handcuffs, she just wanted to know who had captured Jiajia.

"Think about how to clear yourself of suspicion first." Li Li opened her handcuffs and drove back to the police station. She didn't expect that one day the two of them would stand on opposite sides, he was interrogating her and she was the suspect.

"Tell me, why did you appear at the crime scene?" Li Li's expression looked unhappy and his attitude was very bad.

"I received a call from Jia Jia in the afternoon. She was shouting for help, so I hurried to find them. Then when I arrived at the apartment, I saw grandma lying on the ground." She thought that after completing the confession procedures, she might be able to go out and look for Jia Jia.

Li Li was silent for a long time, then said, "You are not allowed to check again," and left. Kong Zhixi stood up and shouted at his back, the handcuffs colliding with the stool made a clanging sound, but he remained indifferent and did not even turn his head.

The interrogation room was dark, with high and small windows, poor air circulation, and no access anywhere.

In the real world, Li Li's second surgery was in progress. His mother's hair had almost turned gray in the past two months. The long-term anxiety and worry made her sleep poorly and she looked much more haggard. Xiao Zhao also stood at the door of the operating room, accompanying her.

Kong Zhiting sat in front of Kong Zhixi's hospital bed and opened the fruit basket sent by her colleagues from the police station.

"Are you okay today?" Her father came in with a kettle of hot water. She shook her head, and the kiwi in her mouth was a little sour. "Why don't you go and see how your brother-in-law's surgery went?" Kong Jianping took a washed hot towel and wiped Kong Zhixi's hands.

"I... No, I have never met my brother-in-law's mother. Isn't that bad?" Kong Zhiting only knew that her sister was rebellious and not bound by her father's pedantry, but she dared not imagine that she had taken the exam to work at the police station and got married without telling her family.

"Then what should we do? Let your mother go? She is busy today!" Kong Jianping also felt a little embarrassed. As a father, he didn't know when the two children got married. If it weren't for this accident, he didn't know when he would be able to meet his son-in-law.

In the past, their arguments were nothing more than talking about life ideals, world outlook and grades. He knew that his daughter was disobedient, but he had never thought of risking her life. When he received the call from the hospital, he thought it was a telecom fraud. When he met Li Li's mother, he just felt that the victim could not accept the blow of losing her son and lost her mind for a while. It was not until the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission found him that he knew that his daughter had done so many things. A small policeman from a police station was related to the criminal police, and people from the Discipline Inspection Commission were involved. I think this case must be very serious.

"Why don't you just go? After all, you are relatives and you will see each other often in the future." Kong Zhiting advised his father.

"It would be fine if I went to see his father, but his mother is here now, so your mother has to go."

"When my sister wakes up, you won't quarrel with her again, will you? In fact, what my mother said is right. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You should stop interfering in her choices. Look, if you hadn't said you wanted to take the civil service exam, would she have been hurt like this?" She took out another apple, peeled it and ate it.

Kong Jianping wiped his hands, changed a towel and wiped her face, and then wiped her feet with a towel. "Don't be so bashful now. I told her to take the civil service exam and become a police officer? How could a police officer get hurt like this? It's because she wanted to show off. Wake up, don't eat, go home and cook if you have nothing else to do."

Her father is always like this, pretending to be ignorant and trying to save face.

After Kong Zhiting left the ward, Kong Jianping sat beside the bed, sighed at his daughter on the bed, and then went to the door of the operating room to ask a few questions.

"Xiao Li...good things will come to you naturally, so don't worry too much." After holding it in for a long time, he said this while sitting on the chair opposite.

"I hope so." Li Li's mother nodded. Before this, the two families had never met each other, and it was very awkward at this moment. "How about I buy you some food?" Xiao Zhao suggested.
