The Mysterious Case of the Mountain Village-Half Finger(4)

Now we still have to wait for the people from the branch to find Yu Lide, so a few people from the second team got on the return car first.

There was no conversation all the way, and it was already past six in the evening when we arrived at the city bureau. Everyone dragged their tired bodies towards the office.

When he got to the door, he saw Zhou Ziyao standing in the corridor. He stood at the door of the first team's office and looked at Su Li quietly. Xiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Li, smiled and walked back to the office. The rest of the second team

People also walked in.

When Zhou Ziyao saw that Su Li had no intention of greeting him, he was about to follow the second team into the office. Then he shouted: "Su Li."

Su Li paused slightly and looked back at him in confusion: "Is something wrong?"

Zhou Ziyao frowned slightly, feeling a strange feeling in his heart when he saw her cold attitude. He noticed that Fang Shunliang and Gao Jinbao from the second team were wandering near the door, and their eyes would glance here from time to time.

"Well, are you coming with me?"

"Can't we say it here?"

Seeing her obvious refusal, Zhou Ziyao frowned even more: "Are you sure you want to talk about your family affairs here?"

What happened at home? Su Li thought about it for a moment, it was probably about her moving out.

"Let's go then." Su Li followed him outside.

Su Li followed him to the courtyard downstairs. As soon as she stood still, she asked, "What's going on at home?"

Zhou Ziyao didn't answer but asked: "Have you moved out of the family home?"

She didn't look for him yesterday. Although Zhou Ziyao was surprised, he didn't care after he arrived at the city bureau and found out that the entire second team had a break.

But he still didn't see Su Li this morning, so he felt something was wrong. When he arrived at Su's house, he found out that Su Li had moved out.

Su Li nodded and repeated the question: "Well, what's going on at home?"

Zhou Ziyao tried his best to ignore the strange feeling in his heart: "Uncle Su asked you to call home."

"Okay, I understand, is there anything else?"

"..." Zhou Ziyao was silent for a few seconds and then shook his head.

Seeing him shaking his head, Su Li thanked him and turned around and left.

Zhou Ziyao watched Su Li's leaving figure for a long time before walking to the carport, pushing his bicycle and leaving the city's criminal police team.

In the office, Fang Shunliang was surprised when he saw Su Li leaving with Zhou Ziyao: "What's going on? Why are you still following?"

Gao Jinbao said unhappily: "He won't ask Sister Li to return to the first team, right?"

Fang Shunliang tapped his head again: "What are you thinking about? Do you think going to work is a joke and you can go wherever you want?"

Gao Jinbao grinned: "Then why is Zhou Ziyao looking for Sister Li? Besides, the whole team is off work and he is still here, isn't he just waiting for Sister Li?"

Fang Shunliang said with a bad smile: "Maybe your sister Li will have good news."

Gao Jinbao: "?"

Wang Youzhi washed his face and said, "I don't think so. Xiao Su hasn't mentioned him in the past few days. He must be out of mind."

Fang Shunliang retorted: "Brother Wang, have you forgotten? When Xiao Su first came here, he looked like he was in a hurry. How could he say that he could just put it down? Now the young man is different. Look, this guy has been doing nothing for two or three days.

Did Tian just find him? Xiao Su’s move is called playing hard to get!”

"What are you playing hard to get?" Su Li heard Fang Shunliang's last words as soon as she arrived at the door.

Xiao Zhuo then put down the untouched file he had been holding in his hand and looked at Su Li. Her expression was as usual, showing no thoughts.

Fang Shunliang's eyes turned, and just as he was about to speak, Gao Jinbao spoke first: "Sister Li, Master said that you were trying to catch Zhou Ziyao from that team."

Fang Shun had a thought in his heart: "..." What a lousy disciple.

When Su Li heard this, he looked Fang Shunliang up and down. He immediately recalled the painful experience when he was analyzed by Su Li last time, and immediately said: "Shut up, don't analyze me again!"

Su Li shrugged and walked to the desk where the phone was placed: "I'm not too busy!"

Fang Shunliang: "..."

Su Li followed her memory and dialed the Su family's phone number, but no one answered. After putting down the receiver, she saw Fang Shunliang drinking water and looking at her curiously.

"Why don't you go home yet? It seems that my sister-in-law's scolding last night was not harsh enough!"

Gao Jinbao: "Huh? Master was scolded by his wife?"

"Pfft... cough cough cough..." Fang Shunliang squirted out all the water in his mouth. He choked and coughed for a while. He was so angry that he lit Su Li with his hand: "You, you damn girl!"

He picked up the bag on the table and left the office.

Several people in the office couldn't help but laugh. Even Liu Ming, the silent prince with a poker face, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

After Fang Shunliang left, Liu Ming, Gao Jinbao and Wang Youzhi also followed.

Xiao Zhuo looked at her with interest, imitating what Su Li said before, and said jokingly: "I don't know how to analyze the people around me..."

Su Li: "..."

"He was the one who told me first."

Just as Xiao Zhuo wanted to laugh and was about to say something else, the phone in the office rang. Su Li picked up the call after seeing that it was the Su family's number.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded from the other side.

"Aunt Zhang, it's me, Su Li, where's my dad?"

The woman's voice suddenly became softer: "Oh, Xiaoli, your dad is in the study, wait a minute, I'll call him."

After a while, another voice came from the other side of the phone. This time it was Su's father's serious tone: "What did you do? Learn how to run away from home with your brother?"

Su Li frowned when she heard these words of accusation: "I left you a letter and told you the reason."

"I don't care what you believe, what do others think of you, Aunt Zhang?"

Su Li chuckled, it turned out that he was gossiped about by others, no wonder it took him so long to come to investigate.

"How can you see? Use your eyes to see! Dad, don't you often say, 'If someone else has this mouth, how can you care what they say? As long as we have a clear conscience!' How could we forget this?"

?”

This is the sentence Su Heng hates most. Before Su's mother passed away, she suffered a lot of pressure and rumors due to family reasons. Su's father was afraid of being affected. Not only did he not help comfort her, but he said this coolly when she couldn't bear to cry.

'Words of wisdom', this meeting was really tense.

Father Su was surprised: "You..."

"Okay dad, I'm quite busy too. Let me just say this. I will go home to visit you and Aunt Zhang when I have time." Su Li quickly hung up the phone before he could speak again.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Xiao Zhuo lazily sleeping on the back of the chair, with no intention of inquiring into other people's housework.

"Aren't you going to get off work?" Su Li asked.

Xiao Zhuo said without opening his eyes: "There is something else, please go back quickly!"

Su Li didn't say anything after hearing this, packed her things, carried her small bag, and got off work.

I bought some prawns, tofu and mushrooms at the market near the community, and was going to make soup for dinner in the evening.

The last afterglow disappeared from the sky, and Xiao Zhuo's figure nestled in the chair returned to darkness as the last ray of light disappeared.

He sat there with his eyes lowered for a long time. It wasn't until the big lights in the yard came on and the light fell on the table through the window that he made any move.

He took out a portfolio from the locked cabinet at the bottom and placed it on the table. His fingers unconsciously rubbed the words '1.15 Disappearance Case'.

At this time, the pager rang, and it displayed three words: People are here. Xiao Zhuo took a look and put the case file back in the drawer, got up and left the office.

Su Li was processing the food she had just bought while thinking about today's case, filtering through her mind the people involved in the case.

While handling the shrimp, I accidentally dropped it on the floor. When I bent down to pick up the shrimp, I was stunned when I saw the shrimp-shaped water mark left on the floor.

After a while, he murmured: "I see..."

In the early hours of the morning, there had been a clanging sound downstairs since half an hour ago, and there was a male voice rising and falling, as if he was drunk.

Su Li was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She couldn't bear it and sat up with a look of resentment. At this time, there was another crisp sound of something falling downstairs.

With a dark face, Su Li got out of bed and picked up a flashlight to 'chat' with the residents downstairs. She looked at her empty hands and thought for a while before walking into the kitchen. When she came out a few minutes later, she had a rolling pin in her hand.

She went downstairs aggressively and knocked on the door. There was another crackling sound inside, and then the footsteps got closer and closer, and the door opened with a click.

"Can you..." Su Li's eyes widened after she saw the person inside the door clearly, and her voice disappeared.

"Su Li?"

Xiao Zhuo has been cleaning up his friend Qiao Wangfei. He drank too much and was restless for a long time. He just gave him a bowl of sober soup and turned around and knocked the bowl away. When he was cleaning up the mess, he heard a knock on the door, but he didn't expect it outside.

The person turned out to be Su Li.

Su Li secretly moved the hand holding the rolling pin behind her back, and said unnaturally: "Captain Xiao, so you live here? What a coincidence, I live upstairs..."

As he was talking, it suddenly occurred to him that the person Xiao Zhuo mentioned this morning that had troubled him all day long about moving yesterday was not him. He was speechless again. It turned out that it was really her.

Xiao Zhuo was surprised at first and then laughed and said: "What a coincidence. If you need any help in the future, you can call me, but why are you here now... Bang!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Xiao Zhuo helplessly raised his forehead: "Wait a moment!"

Su Li stared at him as he returned to the room, looked forward curiously, and saw Xiao Zhuo picking up a person from the ground and placing him back on the sofa.

"I'm sorry, I won't let you in this late at night. My friend drank too much and was a bit noisy inside."

Su Li nodded in agreement: "It's quite noisy!"

"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Zhuo asked again.

"Um...say hello to the new neighbor?"

Xiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "Come here with a rolling pin at around one in the morning to say hello to your new neighbors?"

Su Li: "..." She twitched her lips in embarrassment.

Xiao Zhuo smiled and said: "Okay, he won't make any noise anymore. I gave him sobering soup. I'm sorry for tonight. You can go back and rest early!"

Su Li nodded and walked upstairs as if running away. Xiao Zhuo saw the red earlobes leaking out when she turned around and joked: "Next time, don't bring a rolling pin to greet the neighbors!"

Su Li paused without responding and hurried back even faster. She went upstairs and closed the door and went to bed in one go. It was as if this person had been steamed by a steamer, his face was red and his whole body was radiating heat.
