Chapter 88 Breakfast
Chi Xia and Qu Bai separated at the intersection, and Uncle Gen was waiting for them there with a thermos.
In order not to disturb the two young men's conversation, he gave them the thermos and quickly returned to the bar.
"It's late summer. " Qu Bai's eyes were filled with joy: "If we have time, let's go see the Gesang flowers in the daytime."
"Okay." Chi Xia agreed immediately: "When I have time, we will go together."
Qu Bai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
He stood by the car and sent Chi Xia off: "Go back, go back and have a good rest."
Chi Xia was about to start the car when he suddenly thought of something. He leaned out of the car window and asked him, "Qu Bai, do you have anything you particularly like, such as food or daily necessities?"
Qu Bai looked a little confused.
Chi Xia added: "In order to feel at ease eating your candy, I decided to reciprocate."
Qu Bai's eyes were shining with tenderness, and he smiled and said, "Persimmons, I like to eat persimmons, and pomegranates too."
Chi Xia frowned and laughed, "How strange, you don't like the lychee candy that I like, and I don't like the persimmons and pomegranates that you like either."
Seeing the wind ruffle her hair, Qu Bai wanted to touch her head, but was afraid that she would be disgusted, so he just smiled softly: "But if you give it to me, I will be very happy."
"Okay." Chi Xia retracted his head, his eyes sparkling: "I'll take you there."
Her car left, and Qu Bai looked in the direction she left and coughed lightly. Ade came out from the dark and put a coat on him, lowering his voice: "Sir, Fox has returned home."
Hearing the word "fox", Qu Bai's face instantly showed a disgusted expression, and the lazy relaxation just now instantly turned into defensive indifference. He hummed, turned around and walked back: "Contact Scorpion, and find something for her to do when she comes back."
Ade nodded, and then became a little worried: "You should be more careful when you meet Miss Chi in the future. They are watching closely over there. If there is any mistake..."
"I know." Qu Bai's voice became a little deeper: "I know the limits."
Ade didn't say anything else, but there was always a layer of worry in his heart.
"Oh, right." Qu Bai suddenly stopped and said, "Is Scorpion still not going to show up?"
"He asked me to give this to you."
Ade took out a note: "Scorpion said you don't have to ask him anymore, this is his answer."
Qu Bai unfolded the note and there were only four words on it.
Fight till death.
After reading the words, he crumpled the note and threw it into the trash can: "What about you?"
Ade looked normal, but his eyes were filled with hatred. He said firmly, "Sir, I am like a scorpion."
Qu Bai smiled softly: "Perhaps there is a better revenge in this world than dying together. Find a way to survive. Tell Scorpion this as well."
Ade glanced at him with a complicated expression. He wanted to ask Qu Bai, "What about you?" But he moved his mouth but didn't dare to ask, and just said, "Okay."
…
The next morning, Chi Xia went to the bar to put the thermos before going to the police station. After thinking about it, he decided to drive there in the morning.
I heard that the car that Cao Bin and his team used for field work has been stalling frequently recently. Since we need to go and identify the deceased today, we must drive there.
Luo Xun's car was in the parking space, which meant that he either arrived early or did not go back at all.
Chi Xia parked the car next to him, and remembered the meal card he gave her last night, so she took out her phone and sent him a message: "Captain Luo, do you want to have breakfast? It's your treat."
Unexpectedly, Luo Xun quickly replied: "Wait for me downstairs."
In less than two minutes, Luo Xun ran down. He was wearing fresh clothes today and his hair was still wet, looking like he had just washed up. In his hand, he was holding the five documents he had picked out yesterday.
"Let's go eat first. After dinner, we'll go to Team Two to get some relevant information. We'll set off after Lao Lin and the others come back."
Luo Xun said as he walked towards the cafeteria, and suddenly turned back to look at Chi Xia: "Are you feeling better today?"
The smell of his shampoo mixed with the early morning air entered Chi Xia's nose. Chi Xia smiled and said, "Full of power."
The two walked into the cafeteria. There were not many people in the cafeteria. Chi Xia followed his example and ordered tofu pudding and steamed dumplings. Seeing him add some chili and vinegar to the tofu pudding, she was a little eager to try it: "Captain Luo, is it delicious?"
"Eating vinegar is good for your physical and mental health." Luo Xun took a big sip with satisfaction: "You try it."
Chi Xia added chili and vinegar to his bowl doubtfully, took a sip, his eyes filled with surprise, and drank several more sips.
“Mature vinegar is really a good thing.”
She picked up the steamed dumpling, and Luo Xun pushed her dipping saucer over: "Try dipping it in some."
Although Chi Xia grew up in the north, this is also the most common way of eating in Dongzhou, but her adoptive parents have a light diet, so she naturally inherited their eating habits. Luo Xun's way of eating opened the door to a new world for Chi Xia.
Luo Xun felt a little amused. Was she so surprised just by eating something?
The two of them ate breakfast refreshed, swiped Luo Xun's card, and then went to Team Two.
Lu Tao, captain of the second team, most of the missing cases in the bureau are assigned to the second team. This time they came here to understand the five pieces of information they found before going to the home visit.
Luo Xun unceremoniously opened the door of Lu Tao's office. The person inside was drinking tea and almost choked. When he saw it was him, he immediately frowned and said, "Captain Luo, if I choke to death on the tea leaves today, will you be responsible?"
Luo Xun pulled a chair for Chi Xia: "Sit wherever you want."
Then he sat down on the table, smiled wickedly and said to Lu Tao: "I will be responsible for picking out the tea leaves for you."
As Lu Tao rolled his eyes, he put the documents in his hand on the table and pointed at them: "Tell me about the situation of these people, our key targets of investigation."
Lu Tao put down the teacup in his hand and leaned over to look at Chi Xia who was sitting there. Chi Xia smiled and called out, "Captain Lu."
"New here?"
Lu Tao opened some documents and looked at Luo Xun: "Old Chang is biased. Why doesn't he put such a smart girl in our second team?"
"I'm afraid you'll squander the natural resources." Luo Xun smiled and knocked on the table again: "Hurry up, time is running out."
Lu Tao glared at him, looked at the information in his hand, frowned, and threw one of the documents aside: "You can directly exclude this one."
Luo Xun picked it up and gave it to Chi Xia: "Zhou Wanrou, why?"
Lu Tao stood up and said, "This Zhou Wanrou, her mother has Alzheimer's disease, ah, that's what we call senile dementia, and lives in a nursing home. About three months ago, the old lady got lost from the nursing home and ran to the police station and insisted that her daughter was missing, making a big fuss. The police officer who received her at the time filled out the missing persons information in order to calm her down, but not long after that, her daughter and son-in-law came to the police station to pick her up, and we then knew that the old lady was sick."
Luo Xun just frowned when Lu Tao said, "The number of missing people in the city has increased significantly this year, especially women and children. Our work is also very busy. We receive a large number of missing persons' families every day. Maybe our subordinates are too busy and messed up."
"You'll cry if Old Chang finds out about this ." Luo Xun pointed at the other four copies: "Where are these?"
Seeing that he didn't care, Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief: "As for Tang Lan and Liu Caiyun, according to our investigation, their husbands were involved in domestic violence. The most likely possibility is that these two are hiding somewhere. Wan Jiaqian lived with her parents after divorcing her husband. She disappeared mainly because she had a big fight with her parents and ran away from home. As for Du Xiaoyu, she is a little special. This girl is a graduate student, and her ex-boyfriend is a student majoring in chemistry. The two have a child, and we don't know why they broke up. The most difficult one..."
"My boyfriend is a chemistry major?" Luo Xun and Chi Xia both became interested: "It's not shown in the information."
"Hey, we only found out about the breakup when we were investigating. How is this related to your case?"
Luo Xun pursed his lips: "Probably."
Lu Tao picked up Du Xiaoyu's information: "If you want to talk about it, we can probably guess why the other three people disappeared, but for Du Xiaoyu, we have no clue at all."
Luo Xun put away some documents and was about to leave: "Okay, I think I understand now, you can continue drinking your tea."
Before leaving, Luo Xun turned back and grinned, "Old Chang has good tea."
"You should keep this good tea for yourself!" Lu Tao responded without hesitation.
Luo Xun gave him a fake smile.
After they left the house, Lu Tao followed behind and added, "Du Xiaoyu's parents have very bad tempers. Be careful when you speak , or you might be…"
Before he finished typing his last sentence, Luo Xun and Chi Xia had already disappeared.
