Just after midnight, the red jeep that came back from downtown parked at the bottom of the residential building. Luo Wenxiu got off the co-pilot, turned his head and waved to Su Jian: "I'm here, you should go back quickly."

"Okay, good night, Officer Luo."

Su Jian sat in the car and lit a cigarette, watched Luo Wenxiu go upstairs from a distance, and the lights in his house came on after a while.

Su Jian drove the car out of the community, circled around, then quietly drove the car back to the other side of the community, and then walked back to the house she had just rented.

Looking out from the north window of the house he rented, he could just see the windows of the opposite building.Su Jian stood silently on the balcony, the smell of nicotine in her hand infecting the surrounding air again and again, until Luo Wenxiu turned off all the lights in the house, Su Jian finally lowered her eyes, and extinguished the last cigarette in her hand.

The night breeze was cool, and when Su Jian returned to the room, the sliding door of the balcony was not closed tightly.Wisps of cool air came in, shaking the curtains slightly.

His mind was in a mess, tiredness hit him, his eyelids drooped uncontrollably, but he couldn't fall asleep at all.He just stared blankly at the ceiling with half-opened eyes, until the phone vibrated slightly, and it was a message from Qi Jun: Xing Ye was not caught, and he slipped away again.

As expected, I wasn't too disappointed.

Su Jian replied "Thanks for your hard work", turned over and fell asleep not long after the phone screen was closed.In the second half of the night, he fell into a drowsy sleep, and his dream was full of fragmented pictures of Yao Huang before his death.

Endless nightmares haunted him all night. When he woke up, he felt dazed, as if he had a weight of hundreds of catties on his body. Even opening his eyes seemed particularly difficult.

It was sunny outside the window, and it shouldn't be so cold in June.Su Jian shivered and wrapped the quilt tightly. The rich experience of living alone all year round reminded him that he must have a fever.

The electronic thermometer randomly stuffed in the bedside table ran out of power at some point. Su Jian touched her forehead casually. Since the palms and backs of her hands were both hot, she couldn't feel the temperature at all.

Just a few days after moving, everything was in a hurry, many things were randomly stuffed in the suitcase and not unpacked, and it took a while to find where the medicine was stuffed.Su Jian looked at the clock, and before it was time to go to work, she grabbed her mobile phone and called Bai Yan in the neighborhood next door.

"Hey...is Dr. Song at home? I'll come over and get some antipyretics."

Bai Yan: "Yes, who is sick?"

Su Jian: "Me."

Bai Yan: "...Okay, what's going on? I almost forgot that you will get sick too."

"I didn't close the window when I slept last night... I must have caught a cold accidentally."

Bai Yan paused for a moment and said, "Then do you want me to send it to you..."

Before Bai Yan on the other end of the phone finished speaking, Su Jian interrupted him: "No need, just wait for me, I'll be right over."

Su Jian hung up the phone and turned over to get out of bed. When her feet hit the ground, her legs went limp, and she almost fell down on the spot.After finally standing still, he casually dragged a windbreaker over, put it on and walked out.

It took no more than 10 minutes to walk to Bai Yan's house. Su Jian wanted to make a quick decision, so she quickly finished taking the medicine and went back to lie down.After resting all morning, I have to go back to the unit to interrogate the prisoners in the afternoon.

But she was afraid of what would happen, Su Jian had just walked out of the gate of the community, and bumped into Luo Wenxiu who was going out to throw garbage.

Su Jian was startled, turned around and plunged into the crowd of people at the breakfast stall next to her, pretending to buy breakfast.However, his dull brain still reacted a step slower, and Luo Wenxiu let out a "hey": "Director Su, why are you here?"

"Ah... Officer Luo, isn't this, hahaha... I bought breakfast, have you eaten yet?" Su Jian forcefully smiled, but the disheveled complexion and the frustrating state of not washing his face after getting up could not be hidden from the other party after all. Eye.

"Your complexion is not very good." Luo Wenxiu took out a hand and touched Su Jian's forehead: "It seems to be a little hot, don't you feel any discomfort?"

"It's okay, I may have caught a cold, I don't have any medicine around me, I think..."

Su Jian hesitated to speak, thinking that if she directly told him that she was planning to go to Bai Yan's house to get it, wouldn't she be exposing the fact that she lived nearby?

However, the room leak happened to be raining overnight, so he just happened to see Bai Yan and Song Ting walk out of the gate of the next neighborhood, carrying bags towards them.

"That..." Su Jian didn't know where to put her hands in embarrassment, and finally put them in the pocket of the windbreaker, and said to Bai Yan, "What a coincidence, why don't you bring Dr. Song out to buy breakfast?"

Bai Yan looked at this and then that, not knowing if it was intentional, so he handed the bag in his hand to Su Jian: "I brought you the cold medicine you asked for."

Song Ting on the side maintained his usual politeness and nodded towards Su Jian, "Director Su, I wrote you the dosage on the box—Officer Luo, I heard that you just moved here and you are still used to living here. Bar?"

"It's pretty good, thanks to Director Su's help to find the house. Vice Minister Bai, Dr. Song, so you live nearby too..." Luo Wenxiu turned to Su Jian with a surprised expression, "You didn't tell me?" Do you live here too?"

"I just happened to find a good house nearby. I was afraid that you would misunderstand what I had planned, so I didn't tell you." Su Jian touched her nose subconsciously, and said bluntly: "Well, it's only been a few days It was discovered by you."

Luo Wenxiu smiled lightly and didn't speak, and didn't know if he was thinking about something.Bai Yan waved at them and said, "Okay, I'll send our Doctor Song to work, you continue to talk, goodbye."

"Thank you Doctor Song for the medicine."

Su Jian watched the two go away, just as she took a breath of cool air, she couldn't help coughing a few times.Luo Wenxiu immediately stepped forward to shield him from the wind: "I'll take you back. Do you want to eat something? I'll bring it to you at noon."

"No thanks, I'll go back and rest for half a day, and I have to go to work in the afternoon." Su Jian said as she walked back.

"Are you in good health?" Luo Wenxiu said, "Why don't you take a day off first, and I'll take care of the work for you if there is anything wrong with your unit."

Su Jian shook her head: "I don't feel relieved until Yuan Hao's bastard is thoroughly investigated. I always have an ominous premonition that Xing Ye has other conspiracy behind this."

Luo Wenxiu knew Su Jian's temper, and said that if he wanted to interrogate himself, he would definitely have to interrogate himself until he was satisfied.Then he retreated and said: "Then don't drive by yourself, take my car in the afternoon, and I will take you to work."

The tone of saying this did not intend to give Su Jian a chance to reject him at all, so Su Jianjian just wanted to relax, so he smiled and said: "Okay, I will listen to Officer Luo."

Before going downstairs, Su Jian felt guilty and felt a little embarrassed to ask Luo Wenxiu to go upstairs with him later, so she wanted to find a reason to refuse because the house was messy and inconvenient to entertain guests.When the words came to his lips, Luo Wenxiu suddenly said: "Would you like to come to my house at noon later, and I will make you something to eat?"

Su Jian let out a "hey" in her heart, and she just wanted what she wanted, so she said happily, "Wait for me to wash your face and change clothes, and come right away."

Su Jian felt dizzy from the burning head, and the soles of her feet felt like they were floating on clouds when she walked.However, in order to make a good impression in front of Luo Wenxiu, he went home and quickly took antipyretics, cleaned himself up in a serious manner, and then rushed to the opposite building.

As soon as he knocked on the door, the smell of soup from the kitchen wafted out first.

Luo Wenxiu held the spoon in one hand, and seemed a little surprised that Su Jian came so early after going back.But right now, I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to let him come in quickly.

"Lie down on the sofa for a while, and I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Don't worry about me, you go about your business."

Su Jian's mouth was rolling, but her eyes were still secretly glancing at the back of the other party.I saw that he was wearing an apron over his shirt, and the sleeves were neatly rolled up on his arms.Her own family, He De He Neng, finally moved in with such a good helper. Although she was now forced to subsidize money to live in a rented house outside, Su Jian still couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in her heart.Then he went to the sofa, feeling that lying in his own home is the most comfortable.

Luo Wenxiu put warm water in front of him, and seeing that his eyes were closed, he said softly, "Would you like to go to the room to sleep for a while, I'll call you when I'm ready?"

"No, I'll just squint on the sofa for a while." Su Jian opened her eyes slightly, "I didn't expect Officer Luo to be so good at cooking."

"I'm used to living alone, so I can't eat out all the time." Luo Wenxiu asked him casually, "How does Director Su solve the problem of eating?"

Su Jian said lazily: "Takeaway, instant noodles... or two meals in one, and occasionally make a small hot pot by myself. I don't have any special pursuit of food, as long as I don't starve to death."

Luo Wenxiu's voice floated out from the kitchen: "How can I do that, your stomach will be broken sooner or later."

"You see, I've lived for so long, how can I have the right to be so hypocritical." Su Jian lay on the sofa and looked over with a slanted smile, "But if you are willing to let me come here often for dinner, I will You can come."

"Yes." Luo Wenxiu replied without thinking, and then realized that he answered too quickly, and felt a little rushed to invite him.The instant face was expressionless and silently added: "Remember to pay my food expenses every month."

Su Jian let out a snort, thinking that I have paid your rent, so I am afraid of the mere food expenses?Sooner or later, I will move back from the main entrance openly, and then you will have to pay me back, not to mention the food expenses.

After thinking about it, Luo Wenxiu laughed out loud, and Luo Wenxiu was puzzled when he heard the sound: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's okay, your soup is too fragrant, I'm hungry."

Su Jian coughed a few times, only to hear Luo Wenxiu's voice coming from the pots and pans: "You wait, I'll serve you a bowl of soup first."

After all, it is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years. After taking two antipyretics in the morning and a pot of steaming soup and rice in the afternoon, Su Jian's body has recovered more than half, and she can start to be a monster again.

After lunch, Luo Wenxiu drove Su Jian to work, just in time for a group of night owls in the office who stayed up most of the night last night to stay in bed until noon, and then come to work one after another.

Seeing the two of them stepping into the office at the same time, everyone had an expression of "it really is true". Luo Ye, who was the first to know the inside story, was the first to bear the brunt of spreading gossip everywhere. Put your head down and pretend you don't exist.

But staring at Luo Ye, Su Jian didn't care about other people's eyes. On the contrary, it's better for the whole world to know that Luo Wenxiu is his, so as to save some ghosts who don't have long eyes staring at him all day.

Su Jian raised her hand and pushed open the door of her office: "Come on, everyone pack up the materials and follow me to the interrogation room."
