Nian Xi went into her office, threw herself in the chair.
It was early in the morning, but Feng Ji Chuan had already ruined her mood.
Fang Qi came over, with two dark circles under his eyes. “I was interrogating Yang Wenzhi until midnight last night. He refused to plead guilty. He’s not saying anything. He’s thought fun, sneaky and scheming. His family hired him a lawyer. Today, his lawyer will certainly ask for bail. We can’t let him go.”
Nian Xi slapped on the table, said with a cold smile, “He actually attempted to murder a police officer. If I failed to put him in prison, I’d change my family name. Oh, what did the fire department say?”
“The cause of the fire was the falling of the device shelf. The shelf was full of electric wires. When it fell, the electric wire embalmed the table and the devices,” Fang Qi patted her on the shoulder, said, “Don’t worry. It’ll be solid, as long as Professor Jiang and you show up on the court as witnesses. You’re not important, Professor Jiang is. He is a physicist, and the crime scene was a physics lab. His words are going to be very powerful.”
“What do you mean by I’m not important?” Nian Xi complained, “I am a police officer and a victim.”
Fang Qi gave a faint smile.
…
Eleven am, while Nian Xi was scolding Yang Wenzhi in the interrogation room, her colleague went in and said to her, “Nian Xi, your brother and sister-in-law are here to see you.”
Nian Xi hurriedly went out. Nian Junting was sitting on her chair, holding Apple, screaming, “Luo, he’s poopinp! Come here1 Come here and wipe him!”
“The tissue is right beside you. Wipe him yourself,” Luosang said blandly.
“It’s disgusting,” Nian Justing screamed.
“Eat it, then,” Luosang showed no mercy at all.
Nian Junting didn’t know what to say.
Nian Xi walked in, laughed, “Brother, it’s been months. Are you still afraid of Apple’s poop?”
With a cold face, Nian Junting threw the dirty diaper at her. Nian Xi hurriedly caught it with the bin, then complained, “I almost died last night. How can you treat your little sister like this?”
“You are always a trouble maker,” Nian Junting said while wiping Apple’s butt.
Luosang gave him a glare, then said to Nian Xi, “Don’t listen to him. He was worried about you when he heard from Ji Chuan about what happened last night in the morning. So we decided to come here to check on you together. I guessed it out yesterday. If nothing happened, you wouldn’t have made that call.”
“Sangsang, you know me the best,” Nian Xi gave her a hug, pretended to cry, “I thought I’d never see you again.”
Nian Junting said to her coldly, “I told you to stay in the office, but you wouldn’t listen. You wanted to do the fieldwork, to solve cases. This simple murder case almost cost your life. What would happen if it was a large case?”
“You don’t know,” Nian Xi curved her lips downward, said, “I might become Director Nian someday. By then. I’ll be sitting in my office, giving instructions.”
“Director?” Nian Junting laughed, “Luo, is she in a dream?”
Luosang gave an awkward smile, said, “Don’t say that. Young people need to have dreams, even though the chance of achieving their dreams is very small.”
Nian Xi sighed. Why did no one believe her?
“Oh, I heard that Jiang Yuning saved your life yesterday,” Luosang smiled meaningfully, said, “You guys ran into each other again. I guess you two meant to be together. When will you bring him home for dinner? Your brother will pay for the food. We need to thank him for saving you.”
“Will my brother ever invite him for dinner?” Nian Xi was surprised.
“Yeah. I don’t like him, but he did save your life. I should, indeed, thank him for that,” said Nian Junting, “I will thank him for you, so you won’t need to offer yourself to him in return for his favor.”
