Chapter 72 Holding Hands
Before entering the interrogation room where Li Yiming was, Luo Xun called Chi Xia out.
In the corridor, Luo Xun asked her: "If the interrogation with Li Yiming involves some of your personal matters, you don't have to go in, and you can guide Lao Lin from outside."
Chi Xia's heart was slightly moved, but she shook her head: "If I don't go, he won't speak."
Luo Xun thought about it and said, "That's right. If you don't want me to go in, that's not a problem."
"Captain Luo, I won't let my personal affairs affect the case."
Chi Xia paused: "Just one thing..."
She looked at Luo Xun, and the weakness she saw when they first met appeared in her eyes again.
The switch was quite natural, adhering to the principle that as long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was him, Luo Xun, who was embarrassed. Captain Luo rolled his eyes countless times in his heart. She should at least pretend. Doesn't she realize how arrogant she is in front of him?
Now she can dress up just like that? Luo Xun really wanted to give her a thumbs up, and sincerely felt that she could develop in the direction of the military art troupe.
"You say." Luo Xun avoided her gaze and looked at the skirting board behind her.
"If some of my private affairs are involved during Li Yiming's interrogation, I hope you can keep it confidential."
"What about the scope of confidentiality?" Luo Xun retracted his gaze and looked at her: "If it is related to the case, then I have to think about it."
Chi Xia suddenly laughed, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised, as if even his eyebrows were animated.
If you think about it, there is room for agreement.
"Okay." Her eyes were clear: "I will try my best not to get involved with the case."
Luo Xun sneered: "Then you should try to talk about it. To be honest , I really want to hear it."
It's better to get to the bottom of it, so that he won't have to beg for help every day.
Chi Xia also smiled, but her smile was not as pure as before. Luo Xun knew that this woman was pretending again.
Just as the two were about to go back, Luo Xun's phone rang.
He turned sideways and took out his cell phone. His expression changed slightly and he glanced at Chi Xia: "You go in first, I'll be right over."
Chi Xia responded, took two steps and looked back, and saw Luo Xun answering the phone at the corner.
Chi Xia seemed to see that Luo Xun was holding the old Lugia in his other hand.
When he came back, his expression was normal, but there was still a hint of coldness between his brows. Chi Xia suddenly remembered Luo Xun's abnormal behavior when they went to the cafeteria to eat.
What exactly does Captain Luo's so-called ten years contain? Just as Luo Xun is curious about Chi Xia's past, Chi Xia also wants to understand Captain Luo's ten years.
Gradually getting closer to a person's secrets, digging up his past, piecing together his secrets, and seeing what made him become what he is now, thinking of this, Chi Xia felt a little excited.
"Come in." Luo Xun walked over with a notebook.
The two men entered the interrogation room together. Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin were waiting outside the glass window, wanting to see how powerful this so-called hypnotist murderer was.
The moment Chi Xia and Luo Xun entered, Li Yiming's lazy eyes finally revealed a little surprise. He smiled warmly at Chi Xia: "Junior sister, you are here."
"Sit down."
He turned the tables and treated this small interrogation room as his own home: "How long has it been since we last met? Five years? Or six years?"
"I can't remember." Chi Xia sat down and looked at him indifferently.
Li Yiming's expression turned serious, but he still had a smile on his face: "I remember, six years, four months and five days."
Luo Xun lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, his eyes cold: "You still remember everything, but some things also depend on whether others take them seriously."
"It doesn't matter whether she takes it seriously or not, as long as I take it seriously." Li Yiming kept smiling.
Luo Xun's expression remained unchanged: "Whether this is the case, you can discuss it in private. Li Yiming, Mr. Li, right? You should know why we brought you here, right?"
"I know." Li Yiming was very cooperative: "About Liang Ruqing's death, right, little sister?"
While he was talking to Luo Xun, Chi Xia looked through his relevant information with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
Li Yiming's resume is perfect, and there is almost no bad point to be found. If one must find one, it would be the following sentence written openly in it: He was expelled from the school by his mentor Lin Yushan.
The reason he stated was just four words: differences in ideas.
What a difference in ideas. Chi Xia stopped reading and looked up at him.
"Before we begin, Junior Sister, I hope you can cooperate with a few of my small requests."
Li Yiming withdrew his gaze from the paper in her hand, and his tone and attitude remained calm and gentle.
"Tell me." Chi Xia looked up at him.
Li Yiming looked at the monitor and said slowly: "First, turn off the monitor. Second, make me a cup of coffee."
He specifically reminded: "By the way, I want you to make it yourself. The one you made for me when we first met, the taste can't change, otherwise I won't cooperate."
Luo Xun snorted and laughed. He knocked on the table: "Li Yiming, let me remind you that this is an interrogation room, not a cafe."
"For me, it doesn't matter where I am, as long as I feel at ease ."
Li Yiming looked at him and said, "But officer, it may not be the same for you. If I don't cooperate, you won't have a good time either."
Luo Xun narrowed his eyes, his face cold: "Are you sure?"
“I’m not sure it’s not important.”
Li Yiming leaned forward, but in the direction of Luo Xun: "Luo Xun, Captain Luo, we should be more friendly. Maybe I will give you some unexpected surprises if I am happy."
From the time they met until now, Luo Xun has never told me his name.
Luo Xun's eyes were slightly cold: "Really? I'd like to hear what surprise you can give me."
Li Yiming looked at him, smiled softly, and leaned back again. He said lightly: "A rose with blood may not necessarily mean hatred, but love? Or maybe something else, Captain Luo, what do you think?"
Luo Xun's pupils suddenly tightened, and he used great self-control to restrain himself from grabbing the man in front of him by the collar and asking him how he knew all this.
He has to keep calm. Even if the sky falls, as long as he is still in this position, he has to hold on.
"What?" he asked Li Yiming, "Are you talking nonsense?"
Li Yiming didn't plan to say anything. He looked at Luo Xun with a half-smile: "Captain Luo, think about it."
Chi Xia didn't look at Luo Xun. She kept staring at Li Yiming with an indifferent look, but her right hand hanging under the table quietly reached out.
She pushed aside Luo Xun's clenched fist, held his dry palm, felt the stiffness and forbearance in his body, then she extended her index finger and tapped lightly on his palm a few times.
Luo Xun's tense nerves slowly relaxed, and the blood that had suddenly rushed to his brain slowly returned to all parts of his body. The pair of cold hands that were holding him slowly loosened and distanced themselves from him.
He felt the calluses on her hands gently brushing against his palms and fingertips as she pulled her hand away.
"OK."
He adjusted his mood between breaths and looked at Chi Xia: "Chi Xia, go make him some coffee."
Chi Xia responded and left the interrogation room.
Luo Xun also stood up and turned off the monitor.
As soon as Chi Xia left, Lin Wenjue and the others immediately came up to her: "What's going on, Xiao Xia? What happened just now? Why did Captain Luo turn off all the monitors? And what about the coffee? Who does he think he is? We'll be outside later and won't know anything. What will you do if he hypnotizes you two?"
"What are you afraid of when I'm here?"
Chi Xia chuckled: "Don't worry, Captain Luo will explain to you when he comes out. He has his own plans."
"Then we can't let him steal the show." Cao Bin was filled with righteous indignation: "Look at how crazy he was just now!"
Only Lin Wenjue had a complicated expression. He glanced at Luo Xun through the glass again, revealing a hint of worry.
He pushed Juanmao and Cao Bin apart and said, "Captain Luo and Chi Xia must have their own ideas. Let's not disturb them for now. You guys keep an eye on the inside. I'll talk to Chi Xia."
Cao Bin and Juanmao immediately retreated obediently, fearing that Li Yiming had hypnotized their eldest brother.
Lin Wenjue took Chi Xia two steps forward and said solemnly, "Chi Xia, if Luo Xun behaves abnormally again, you have to pull him back, okay?"
Chi Xiashen glanced at Lin Wenjue. They didn't say anything, but they seemed to understand each other. She nodded: "Brother Lin, I know what's going on. Don't worry."
When Chi Xia returned, he was holding a disposable paper cup in his hand. The coffee in the cup was not of any brand, but instant coffee that could be easily purchased.
Nestle's.
When they first met, Chi Xia happened to like instant coffee, so she shared a cup with him.
"That's the smell." Li Yiming took the cup and smelled it, looking satisfied, as if he was more relaxed.
When Chi Xia sat down again, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Chi Xia with a familiar and intimate look and said, "Junior sister, take off that earring of yours."
Chi Xia narrowed her eyes slightly.
Li Yiming laughed and said, "Don't think I don't know. That's a recorder."
