When I pushed the door open and entered my house, the fragrance of bone soup came to my face.

"It's considered back." Ji Heng came forward and hugged Gu Qingtong affectionately, "Let's go, let's wash your face and hands, and then sit down and have a great meal!"

"Yeah." Gu Qingtong's nose felt sore, and he quickly turned his face, "I'm not very hungry, I'm just very sleepy."

Shi Dong is not sitting or sitting, standing awkwardly in the entrance hall: "Sister Gu, Teacher Ji, it seems that I was coming at the wrong time..."

Gu Qingtong and Ji Heng looked at each other, and then they laughed together.

Ji Heng handed over a pair of brand new slippers: "Little Stone, change your shoes first."

Shi Dong was flattered and did as he said: "Teacher Ji, when we went to Sister Gu's house for dinner, everyone brought their own food. Sister Gu knew how to cook, but unfortunately she didn't have time - I've eaten the instant noodles she cooked, and the taste was pretty good!"

"You are busy and can't even eat. Not to mention cooking by yourself. Tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I'll take care of your stomach."

Ji Heng said that Shi Dong was relaxed a lot in an instant: "Teacher Ji, are you determined to be a solid backing for our serious crime team?"

"I have no choice but to do so." Ji Heng said, "It is my honor to be a member of your big family."

Shi Dong sighed: "Welcome to join!"

"You all team members can fight even if they dare to fight. Team Pan is also included. No one understands the importance of combining work and rest..."

Gu Qingtong changed her clothes and washed her hands, but she couldn't rest for a moment. After hearing the conversation between Ji Heng and Shi Dong, she began to set up the dishes and chopsticks and prepare hot pot dipping sauce.

"Aheng, where are the spicy fermented black beans?"

Ji Heng came and hugged her from behind, "Be good, food that stimulates taste will affect sleep. We should have a good night's sleep tonight and eat lighter."

"You don't know my taste." Gu Qingtong smiled, "Eating hot pot without spicy food is tantamount to murdering my taste buds."

Ji Heng complained: "You are full of professional vocabulary all day long. Food is in the moment, putting aside your case-handling thinking, okay?"

"You must agree to me to eat spicy sauce, otherwise--" Gu Qingtong grabbed Ji Heng's wrist and pulled it to his mouth to make a gesture to chew.

Shi Dong, who was standing beside him, hurriedly covered his eyes and thought to himself: I was wrong and I shouldn't have come to take advantage of this meal...

"Little Shitou, your eyes are uncomfortable?" Ji Heng asked knowingly, "Do you want to wash your face and make your spirit?"

Shi Dong stepped back: "Sister Gu, Teacher Ji, I think I'd better withdraw!"

"No!" Gu Qingtong lowered Ji Heng's hand and said seriously, "Such a big table is delicious, do you want to escape in the last battle? You must not leave until the battlefield is cleaned!"

"Military orders are like mountains, small stones. Go and sit down quickly. I will squeeze three cups of orange juice and bring it over."

Ji Heng turned back to the kitchen to get the drinks.

Shi Dong had no choice but to sit at the dining table, looking at the steaming hot pot and crying without tears...

-

After having enough food and food, Ji Heng took Shi Dong away and saw him get in the booked taxi before going upstairs to go home.

Gu Qingtong was so tired that she curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.

Ji Heng shook his head lovingly and carried her back to the bedroom.

I don't know what dream she had, and muttered words and words that were incomplete. Ji Heng listened quietly for a few minutes without realizing the reason. He covered her with a quilt and returned to the living room again.

After cleaning up the restaurant and kitchen, Ji Heng turned on the computer to check the emails.

In a series of unread emails, the letter with the subject "Peace" suddenly broke into his sight.

The main text of the email is only one sentence - I am in Chengyuan City now and have not contacted any acquaintances. Don’t worry, don’t forget to take good care of yourself.

Ji Heng took a deep breath and replied: Take care of yourself, and call us for urgent matters.

After exiting the email, he cleared all traces of browsing.

It’s enough for Principal Wu to be safe. This is the best news in recent days.

Ji Heng turned off the computer, walked back to the bedroom, and lay down gently beside Gu Qingtong.

Her even breathing was like a soothing lullaby. Soon, he felt sleepy and turned to his side and held her hands tightly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

At midnight, Ji Heng was awakened by a strange sound. He carefully identified the source of the sound and finally remembered that it was the ringtone of his phone that he adjusted to vibrate.

He turned over and got out of bed and ran to get his cell phone. The screen was a landline number from Chengyuan City.

Ji Heng went to the balcony in two steps in three steps, closed the door and connected the phone.

"Hello?"

"It's me." Wu Minhua's voice was hoarse, "Teacher Ji, they found my residence. I had no choice but to give up my luggage and hide outside first. My phone also landed in the hotel room. I am using a public phone now."

"Don't panic, listen to me." Ji Heng quickly clarified his thoughts and asked in a low voice, "How much money do you have left?"

Wu Minhua replied: "When I ran away, I brought my wallet, and the cash was only 600 yuan. Fortunately, my ID and card were there."

Ji Heng looked at his watch and it was five o'clock in the morning.

He said: "You can take a taxi to the airport immediately and buy the earliest flight ticket to Jinyang. I will pick you up at the airport in the morning and we will talk about other things when we meet."

Wu Minhua hesitated and said, "My card is within their monitoring range. Swiping a card to buy air tickets will expose your itinerary..."

Ji Heng said: "In this way, you buy two air tickets - the first one is to buy by swiping your card, and choose the time and place at will; the second one is cash, and the off-season discounted air ticket from Chengyuan to Jinyang is about 400, and you have enough cash."

"Okay." Wu Minhua replied, "I'll call you after buying the air ticket."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Heng's heart hung in his throat.

I thought Principal Wu was in a safe area, but I thought that he would be in a blink of an eye. Those guys who were chasing him were always following him secretly! Monitoring, listening, and there is nothing they can't do...

After standing quietly for seven or eight minutes, Ji Heng opened the balcony door and was shocked in an instant.

"Xiaotong, are you awake?"

Gu Qingtong was sleepy: "Aheng, are you sleepwalking?"

"I can't sleep, get up and have some breath." Ji Heng smiled concealedly, and hurriedly carried his left hand behind him with his phone.

“Um…”

"It's still early, so go and sleep for a while."

"I don't want to sleep anymore." Gu Qingtong rubbed her eyes, "Why don't we chat, right?"

She took Ji Heng's hand and pulled him to the living room.

"Are you still having a headache about Cai Xiangli's case?" Ji Heng asked, "He is a writer who writes about reasoning. He has been exposed to many cases and has strong anti-investigation ability. The reason why he doesn't face you is that he wants to delay time to avoid inquiries."

"I'm not going to talk about the case." Gu Qingtong was so excited that she said frankly, "I heard you talk about the phone."

Ji Heng was speechless for a moment.

Gu Qingtong also said: "Principal Wu's personal safety is threatened, and I hope to do my best to help her."

"She doesn't want to call the police." The trance expression froze on Ji Heng's face. He lowered his head and sighed, "Xiaotong, what Principal Wu wants to protect is not a specific substance, but the children's self-esteem."

"The group leader J has been sentenced to death. Hasn't the campus violence case come to an end?"

"It seems to be true on the surface. But what Principal Wu is worried about is far from over..."

When he said the key point, Ji Heng suddenly stopped talking.

Facing Gu Qingtong's questioning gaze, a helpless smile flashed across the corner of his lips: "I will ask you for help if necessary. Now I want to solve the problem with my own strength."

"I--" Gu Qingtong said anxiously, "I don't want to see you get hurt!"

"When there is fighting, there will be bleeding, and a small injury is inevitable."

"But……"

"I promise, I will never fight those people head-on." Ji Heng put his shoulders over Gu Qingtong and wrote a passionate kiss on her forehead. "If the whole thing becomes uncontrollable in the later stage, I will definitely ask you for help as soon as possible. Xiaotong, don't worry, I will be fine."

-

Early the next morning, Ji Heng left home and went to the airport.

With deep questions, Gu Qingtong continued to investigate the murder case of He Xing. After summarizing the existing information, she made a special trip to the forensic department for advice.

Asked about the residues in the deceased's stomach, Pan Shaofang called her cell phone and said that the meeting was about 9 o'clock.

Gu Qingtong returned to her desk and was about to leave with her laptop.

When she turned her head, she accidentally saw that there was only a little sparrow left on the branches of the big tree outside the window, but the other one was missing.

The wind blew through the leaves, and the little sparrow tilted its head and grabbed the branches lonelyly.

After everyone sat down, Pan Shao was very sad: "The headquarters did not approve the search warrant, so we have to find another way."

Wu Chen showed a bank statement: "Wang Tao's account received 100,000 yuan yesterday. I suspect this is the hush money given to him by Cai Xiangli."

Pan Shaofang said: "The facts are in front of you, and netizens have seen through Cai Xiangli's tricks, let alone you and me?"

"Pan Team, He Xing's stomach was tested for poison/drug residue." Gu Qingtong handed over the test form provided by the Forensics Department to Pan Shaofang, "Tetramethylenedisulfonetetramine, commonly known as 'toxic/rat/strong'. Forensics Zhong said that according to the digestive rate, poison/drug is mixed in coffee and drunk together in the mouth."

Shi Dong took over the topic: "I checked the Sky Eye near the school of the deceased and found that he boarded a long-distance bus to the suburbs on the day of his murder, F941. The terminal of this bus is one kilometer away from Cai Xiangli's villa, and there is no surveillance along the way."

Gu Qingtong said: "The monitoring probes around Cai Xiangli's home are personal installation and are not within the supervision scope of the headquarters."

Shi Dong echoed: "Yes, if you can see if He Xing has been to the villa before he was killed, it will be clear at a glance."

Pan Shaofang put down the test form: "I failed to kill poison, and chased He Xing all the way to the mountain? The murderer has poor mental strength, but his physical strength is better than ordinary people. Do you think, will anyone else commit a crime with Cai Xiangli?"

The conference room suddenly became quiet and no one had any idea.

Gu Qingtong took the lead in breaking the silence: "Captain Pan, I suggest that the team members take turns to squat and guard the only way for Cai Xiangli to enter and exit the villa to prevent him from transferring Tian Xiaomei's body overnight."
