Chapter 22 Karin
Liang Xi was half asleep and half awake until dawn. His head still hurt, but he was much more awake. He found aspirin on the shoe cabinet. The location of aspirin was explained at the scene. Baker put all his things where they were used. There was no such thing as storage. For Baker, who often drinks, aspirin must be on the surface and it is absolutely impossible to hide it deep.
After taking aspirin, Liang Xi successfully found his cell phone and called Baker. Baker was sleeping, so he went over. Liang Xi went downstairs and just wanted to figure out where he was when he received a call from Baker: "Hey, help me pick someone up at the airport at nine o'clock."
Liang Xi: "Why me?"
Baker: “Because we were all drinking.”
Liang Xi pressed his left forehead with one hand to relieve the pain, and held his phone with the other hand: "I drank it too."
Baker: "You collapsed at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, and you only drank five bottles of beer in total."
Liang Xi closed his eyes and calculated that it takes a normal person three hours to metabolize a bottle of beer, and five bottles would take 15 hours. At around four in the morning, his alcohol was basically metabolized. But why did his head still hurt so much?
Baker: "My sister, the surgeon."
Liang Xi: "Name."
Baker: "Hmm... let me think, I haven't seen her for two years. Her name is Coffee..."
Liang Xi admired Baker's parents and gave them a thumbs up in his heart.
"No." Unlike Liang Xi who died in the first half, Baker and his friends played four games and drank until two in the morning. Baker couldn't remember his sister's name for a moment, and said in a vague voice: "She is related to coffee. I call her coffee bean."
A relative of coffee? Liang Xi asked tentatively, "Could it be cocoa?"
"Yes, yes, detective, very impressive. Her name is Karin."
What's wrong? I should have shot him in the leg.
After hanging up the phone, Liang Xi first checked his location, took a bus back to his residence, took a shower, changed clothes, and took a pack of acetaminophen powder, which immediately stopped his headache. He went downstairs, got in his Beetle and headed for the airport.
This counts as making friends, obtaining certain resources, and gaining a certain amount of trust from Liu Zhen's team. Maybe it doesn't help Liang Xi find the truth about John's murder, but maybe it does. In any case, Baker and his team are not bad people, and making more friends like this is not a bad thing.
…
A black-haired woman walked out of the airport steadily with a lightly loaded suitcase. She had been looking for faces in the crowd of people waiting to meet her. Then she saw Liang Xi and looked at the sign in Liang Xi's hand. That's right, she looked at Liang Xi first. Liang Xi also noticed this. Maybe this is charm... Or maybe it's just self-conceit. People just look at the sign.
The black-haired woman is 1.72 meters tall. Although she is wearing a loose and comfortable sweater, you can still see that she has long legs and a good figure. Unlike Baker, Baker has blonde hair while the black-haired woman has black hair. Baker has black eyes while the black-haired woman has blue eyes. Baker is a pure Caucasian while the black-haired woman is a mixed-race. The woman has a distinct Caucasian body shape and appearance, but there is also a hint of Asian delicacy between her eyebrows. The most obvious thing is that her skin is relatively delicate, which is very different from the rough skin of Caucasians.
Liang Xi could only think that he was handsome and charming. Because according to his detective judgment, if he was sure that Baker was not a mixed-race, then this black-haired beauty could not be Baker's sister.
The black-haired woman walked towards Liang Xi. Liang Xi was very hesitant. Should he give her his phone number? If he gave her his phone number, he could barely support himself. If he didn't give her his phone number, it would seem too cruel. The best solution was for this black-haired beauty to give him 100 million first, and then insist on being his girlfriend. He would be moved by her sincerity and reluctantly agree to it.
The detective's mind was beating fast and thinking a lot. Just a few steps away, Liang Xi had already started calculating the chances of divorce. Black-haired woman: "Where's my brother?"
The voice is clear. In daily life, you should avoid drinking, smoking and spicy food.
"Ah?" Liang Xi came back to his senses: "Karin?"
"Yeah ." Karin looked at Liang Xi, a deep look.
Liang Xi hurriedly said, "Baker is drunk. The car is over here. I'll help you with your luggage."
Karin: “No, thank you.”
Liang Xi laughed to ease his embarrassment, and walked towards Beetle with Karin, saying, "Karin, have we met before? You look familiar."
Karin asked back, "You had neurological surgery in France?"
Liang Xi: “No.”
Karin: “Never.”
Unlike Baker, Karin is taciturn, but she answers questions and has a general attitude, and it is hard to tell whether she is good or bad. Liang Xi thinks Karin and Baker are two different types of people. Karin is very rational in her speech, and it is difficult to guess and infer what she is thinking through her expression. There are usually several types of people like this.
The first category: professionally trained agents. Baker has already denied this.
The second type: lack of love, lack of parental love since childhood, no relatives who care about them, and cold personality.
The third category: atypical doctors. They are used to seeing life and death in their daily work. At first, curing patients brings joy, and the death of patients brings loneliness. Later, they have seen many life and death, joy and sorrow, and have seen all kinds of things in the world from patients and their families, and gradually closed their hearts. However, judging from her age, the best case scenario for Karin, who is about 25 years old, is that she has just finished her internship and started to perform surgery, so she is not in such a state of mind.
The fourth category: professional poker players, this goes without saying.
The fifth category: People who have not recovered from major mental blows such as a broken heart, widowhood, or the death of a child.
Category 6: Extremely rare congenital emotional deficiency.
The seventh type: cold and arrogant. Usually a beautiful woman with many suitors around her, no close female friends around her, looking down on people of Liang Xi's level, so she only responds to Liang Xi with simple politeness.
In the conversation with Karin in the car, Liang Xi guessed one point correctly, that Baker was not mixed-race, but Karin was. They were half-siblings. But Liang Xi could not guess the second point, which was the origin of Karin's slightly different attitude from ordinary people. Liang Xi was willing to choose an agent, because when communicating with Karin, Karin showed some attitude that was not used to chatting in a casual manner, and was vaguely restraining her way of speaking. However, this can be explained by the profession of a doctor.
Liang Xi felt that Karin was a mixed bag. She lacked love, was an atypical doctor, and suffered a major mental shock. She was probably ostracized by the group in her childhood or at some point in her life.
While chatting, driving, and thinking, Liang Xi still couldn't get an answer that satisfied him.
It's not because he fell in love with Karin at first sight that he tried to figure out Karin. This is Liang Xi's professional habit. Well, although he hasn't made any money yet, John has cultivated a good habit. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can think in a complex way. Don't let your mind stop. Think about the weather changes in the next few hours from the clouds. Judge the other person's profession from his clothes. Even if it's a passerby, as long as your mind is free, you should observe, judge, speculate and think.
