Chapter 232: Chapter 206: He Was Reckless
Autumn in the S City is cool and pleasant; even indoors, wearing long sleeves typically suffices.
The greenery around the police station is decent, with a few trees over a decade old, making it particularly cool throughout the year’s sumr and autumn.
Especially the building next door that is specifically dedicated to forensic work.
Every ti Qiming cos here, he always feels like he hasn’t dressed warmly enough.
As if under the influence of so sorcery, there’s always an eerie chill about the place.
Therefore, even if Captain Lei reeks of cigarette smoke, Qiming can’t help but hurry to follow closely behind, almost reaching to cling to Captain Lei’s arm.
Captain Lei: ….
“Didn’t you say you’re not scared with Dr. Fu here?”
Qiming pursed his lips.
“Eh, with your courage, why beco a cop?”
Qiming: ….
“Being a cop is my dream, not being a forensic doctor.”
“What about later at a cri scene, if there’s sothing even more grueso? You gonna act like this?”
“Let’s talk about that when it cos to it.”
The two engaged in this back-and-forth as they walked in.
It seed Qiming had a physiological reaction to the place—his voice involuntarily softened, his neck instinctively shrank, and from just standing primly beside Captain Lei, he now, without heed for decorum, directly latched onto Captain Lei’s arm.
Captain Lei: ….
“Let go of .”
“No.”
“What’s with acting so womanish, let go!”
“I won’t let go.”
“Qiming, that’s an order!”
Such a scene, two grown n tangling up like this, just wasn’t proper.
Upon hearing the word “order,” Qiming’s physiology had already responded, his brain hadn’t caught up yet, but his hand had already let go.
Just as he was about to say sothing, he saw Fu Yisi co out from the inner room, dressed in a white coat, with a mask and gloves properly on.
So stray hairs fell onto his forehead, which far from making him look unkempt, actually lent him an effortlessly handso look.
Most importantly, with a mask on, all attention was drawn to Fu Yisi’s profound eyes. Because of their depth and coldness, Fu Yisi’s aura seed even more striking than the first ti they t.
Qiming swallowed and started edging closer to Captain Lei again.
“Captain, is… is that Dr. Fu?”
Captain Lei narrowed his eyes and nodded, then sensing sothing off about Qiming’s reaction, he turned and saw that the youngster’s lips were already quivering.
Captain Lei: ….
“Weren’t you saying it’d be better with Dr. Fu here?”
Qiming shook his head.
“I was wrong.”
He had naively thought that with the forensic doctor being replaced by a man, so masculine energy would be brought into the place, and he wouldn’t be so scared anymore. But who would have thought that once Dr. Fu got dressed, staying here, he’d actually act like an air-conditioner.
He had been reckless.
He had been naive.
He had been too simple.
Although Captain Lei was sowhat surprised, he certainly wasn’t to the extent Qiming was.
He had long understood that Dr. Fu had an extraordinary deanor.
A proud person—wasn’t there a clear enough example of that in their police departnt?
Captain Lei cleared his throat and stepped forward.
“Dr. Fu, we apologize for the late trouble, thank you for your hard work.”
Fu Yisi briefly nodded at the two n as a greeting.
But then his gaze shifted away, his voice indifferent,
“Then let’s resolve this case quickly.”
By catching the criminal soon, naturally, there would be no new victims, and naturally, there would be no need for him to co over.
Captain Lei did not expect to escape the pressure from the crowd outside only to co to the forensic departnt to relieve so stress, and yet once again be faced with the sa issue.
“We will definitely do our best.”
Dr. Fu Yisi was not particularly moved by Captain Lei’s words. While checking the instrunts, he asked,
“Where’s Li Lei?”
This touched upon an area well-known to Qiming.
The young man straightened his back but still stood close to Captain Lei, coughed a few tis, and cleared his throat.
“We’ve already investigated Li Lei; he’s not a suspect, and currently, he’s detained, so there’s no possibility he committed the cri.”
Dr. Fu Yisi naturally understood this reason, glanced sideways at Qiming,
“What I’m asking about is last night’s incident.”
After arriving at the police station yesterday, Dr. Fu Yisi only heard the incident’s details from Captain Lei and did not go to see Li Lei.
Afraid he couldn’t control himself, he wanted to lay hands on him.
If it was just a simple stalking case, why would he be carrying a weapon?
Since the matter concerns Ji Sang, Dr. Fu Yisi needed to understand more.
“Last night…”
Qiming paused for a mont, then relayed the information he had found one by one.
“Li Lei, 41 years old, divorced, no children, an employee of a small company. Recently that company faced an economic crisis, and Li Lei was laid off. As for the stalking, Li Lei’s explanation is that the woman looked a lot like his ex-wife…”
“Cough”
Captain Lei suddenly coughed, interrupting Qiming.
Then he joked,
“Are you reporting to Dr. Fu now?”
His face wore a smile, but his eyes had changed.
Qiming had been around for a while and had so understanding of Captain Lei’s looks, knowing this was a sign to stop.
Dr. Fu Yisi raised half an eyebrow, glanced at Captain Lei, and gave a slight smirk.
“My wife caught a stalker and got injured in the process, now… I’d like to understand the reasons behind it.”
Dr. Fu Yisi put down the instrunt in his hand, turned to face Captain Lei.
“Is that not allowed either?”
As he spoke, the man’s gaze had sunk, and his tone was very low and grave.
Captain Lei unflinchingly t his gaze, and the two n stared at each other for a full half minute.
Qiming stood to the side, not daring to breathe too loudly.
It was Captain Lei who first shifted his gaze, smiled a little, and said,
“Of course, we’ve also looked into Li Lei’s connection with Ms. Ji. The injury to Ms. Ji was purely accidental, Dr. Fu can be at ease.”
Dr. Fu Yisi lowered his gaze, glanced at the assistant provided by the departnt, and began the autopsy work.
…
After Dr. Fu Yisi finished the autopsy and briefly reported the results to Captain Lei, he left the police station.
It was already midnight.
Qiming forced his drooping eyelids open, looked at Dr. Fu Yisi’s still straight back and handso face, and exclaid,
“Can a person really be so outstanding?”
Not to ntion being an esteed hand in the surgical world, but just taking a few simple courses related to identification, he could perform an autopsy so perfectly on his own.
He just saw it, it’s very similar to Dr. Guan’s style, concise, hitting the key points.
Watching the receding figure of Dr. Fu Yisi, Captain Lei suddenly asked,
“Are you sure there’s no connection between Li Lei and Ms. Ji?”
Qiming nodded sowhat puzzledly,
“Positive, Li Lei’s social network couldn’t possibly be connected to Ms. Ji.”
“That’s good then.”
Captain Lei raised his hand to rub his temples.
He must be muddled, having already gone over the content investigated by Qiming himself, and confird that there couldn’t be any connection between Li Lei and Ji Sang. Yet, after seeing Dr. Fu Yisi’s look and question,
He actually began to doubt himself.
