October 27, 3020. Jiang Chengyan came back from the bar, half an hour before 8 o’clock. Just as he hesitated to go inside, the door of the grocery store was pushed open. Ling Hua’an appeared at the door.
“Jiang dui, come in.”
Jiang Chengyan’s heart was tensed, as if he was caught doing bad things. He faked nonchalance. “What a coincidence. I just came here and we met at the door…”
Ling Huaan’s eyes flashed. With a smile, he said cooperatively, “The new temporary clerk said there was a handsome guy outside. I guessed it was Jiang dui, so I came out to make sure.”
Ling Huaan’s disguised praise made Jiang Chengyan a little embarrassed. He said with a smile, “It’s really inconvenient for you to be alone in the night shift. You should hire a clerk.”
“Jiang dui, it’s cold outside. You should come in.”
Jiang Chengyan saw that Ling Huaan was only wearing a thin shirt and frowned slightly. He quickly walked over and said, “It’s late autumn now. How can you wear such flimsy clothes?”
“It’s not cold in the shop.” Ling Huaan left the door. Jiang Chengyan walked past him and closed the door behind him.
Jiang Chengyan’s eyes landed at Sun Ming, he smiled and nodded. Ling Huaan took the initiative to introduce them. “Jiang dui, he’s Sun Ming, a student. Today is his first day. Sun Ming, this is the Jiang dui of the criminal investigation team.”
“Jiang dui, please take care of me in the future.” Sun Ming greeted hello with a smile. He didn’t expect that the man sneaking outside was actually the leader of the criminal investigation team.
Jiang Chengyan politely responded, “Hello.”
Ling Huaan fumbled to take out a food thermos from under the counter. He opened the cover and felt the temperature with the back of his hand. “The temperature’s just right. Jiang dui, have a taste. If it’s cold, there’s a microwave oven where you can heat it up over there.”
“No, no, I don’t like to eat foods that are too hot. The temperature is just right.”
Ling Huaan handed over the thermos and said, “I added a table near the glass window. Jiang dui should sit there and take your time eating.”
Jiang Chengyan took the thermos and looked at the glass window. There was a table on the other side, and there were two stools on both sides of the table. Jiang Chengyan said with a hearty smile, “Thank you, Huaan.”
Ling Huaan slightly raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Jiang dui is too polite. Quickly eat, don’t let it cool.”
Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Huaan anxiously and saw that he did not refute. He was relieved and walked over with the thermos. Jiang Chengyan sat in front of the glass window and looked back at Ling Huaan. Seeing that he entered the counter, he withdrew his eyes and picked up chopsticks. He then picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. The flavor of the meat spread in his mouth, stimulating his taste buds. Jiang Chengyan eyes lit up and exclaimed, “Huaan, did you cook this?”
Ling Huaan nodded and said, “En. Does it taste good?”
“It’s delicious! Huaan, your cooking is really good!” Jiang Chengyan said fluently.
Ling Huaan laughed and said, “Then Jiang dui should eat more.”
“Okay.”

Jiang Chengyan ate his food. After a while, the thermos was cleaned out. As soon as he put down his chopsticks, a glass of milk was placed on the table.

Although he can’t see it, Ling Huaan has a keen sense. Knowing that the feeling of being peeped came from Jiang Chengyan, he couldn’t help the corner of his mouth from rising slightly and walked towards Jiang Chengyan.
Jiang Chengyan felt inexplicably guilty, and turned his head nervously to look out of the window.
Ling Huaan walked to Jiang Chengyan and fumbled for a stool. Jiang Chengyan quickly handed the stool over and said, “Huaan, here.”
Ling Huaan reached for the stool, and touched Jiang Chengyan’s hand with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally. Even if he couldn’t see, he could feel Jiang Chengyan’s instantly rigid reaction.
The cool touch on his hands made Jiang Chengyan stiff, and his heart jumped for a while. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to hold Ling Huaan’s wrist and said: “Huaan, don’t move. I’ll put the stool behind you. ”
Ling Huaan’s mouth twitched slightly and said, “Then I will have to trouble Jiang dui.”
“The stool is ready, you can sit down.”
Ling Huaan sat down without hesitation, and looked at his grasped wrist. .
As if he was burned, Jiang Chengyan quickly let go and glanced uneasily. “Huaan, you can’t move easily. How do you make such a delicious rice with stewed pork?”
“You will if you cook repeatedly.” Ling Huaan’s tone was faint, the emotions behind his words couldn’t be discerned.
“What about your family, don’t they help you?”
Ling Huaan was silent for a while, and asked. “Jiang dui, can you tell me how Jiang Changming died?”
Jiang Chengyan was stunned, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: “I’m sorry, Huaan. I can’t disclose the information about the case.”
“Did he die by accident or was he murdered?”
Jiang Chengyan hesitated for a moment, said: “It was a homicide. Now we’re doing our best to investigate.”
“Killed?” Ling Huaan sighed and said, “I couldn’t find him before. I thought he was hiding from me deliberately. I didn’t expect that… The affairs of the world are truly unexpected ah.”
Jiang Chengyan took out the IOU from his pocket and stuffed it in Ling Huaan’s hand said, “Huaan, this is your IOU. If you collect it, the account will still be paid even if the person who owed you died.”
Ling Huaan nodded and stuffed the IOU into his pocket.
Bzzt bzzt. The phone vibrated. Jiang Chengyan took out the phone and looked at it, and said, “Huaan, I’ll just take the call.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Chengyan answered the phone and said, “Hey, Yao Min. What’s the matter?”
“Hey, Captain. Li Qiuran came just now to recognize the corpse, then she cried and fainted. Her son saw that his mother collapsed, and then he began to cry as well, and now there’s two.” Yao Min kept complaining.
“What about now? Is Li Qiuran awake?”
“She just woke up, but her mental state isn’t in good condition. In addition, her son has been crying all the time. I don’t think I can ask.”
“Then you’d better work hard to send them home. We’ll ask tomorrow.”
“Okay. After sending them away, should I come back?”
“No need to go back, just get off work.”
“Okay. Thank you, Captain.”
“Well, you can tell others that those who have completed the task can get off work, those who haven’t can do it at home to.The case analysis meeting will be held tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, captain.”
Jiang Chengyan hanged up the phone. He thought about it, looked for Zhang Hua’s number and dialed it directly, but there was a stop signal in the receiver. Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly and walked to Ling Huaan, and said, “Huaan, I’m going to wash the thermos. Is there a place here where I can wash this?”
“Put it here. I’ll clean it up by myself later. Jiang dui can go back if he is busy.”
“I’m not, I let them off work. You tell me where it is and I’ll wash it.”
“Sun Ming, you take Jiang dui.”
Sun Ming answered and said with a smile, “Jiang dui, you can put it there and I’ll wash it. I’m free anyways. Let me off in front of the boss.”
“No, I can’t eat for nothing.”
Seeing this, Sun Ming said nothing more and took Jiang Chengyan to the back of the supermarket.
“Boss, I’m back.” Wang Lei’s voice rang from his ears.
“Well, how is it? Did you find anything?” Ling Huaan muttered softly.
Without waiting for Wang Lei’s answer, the bell in his pocket trembled. Ling Huaan frowned slightly and said, “You can’t see them now. I’ll give you a chance to meet them when your affairs are investigated. You won’t want to see them as they are now.”
When the bell stopped trembling, Jiang Changping’s voice came from his ear, “Master, I don’t believe the killer is my wife.”
“It’s a subject to investigation, whether you want to believe it or not.”
“If it’s really her, what would Hanhan do?”
“When you die, your life in this world is over. You have no power to influence the living. They have their destiny, and you can’t change it.”
“Master, they are my family and flesh. How can it be said if you give up?”
Ling Huaan was silent. After a while, he said, “Wang Lei, what’s wrong with Li Qiuran?”
“Boss, I followed her today and picked up the child at five o’clock. After that, I came to the police station and then came to the police station to confirm with the policewoman again and again whether the headless corpse was her husband. After the policewoman took out the DNA comparison report, she broke down and fainted. After waking up, she calmed down a lot, seemed to accept the fact that her husband died, and coaxed her crying son. Just now the policewoman answered the phone and drove them home.”
“How did she behave after receiving the autopsy call from the police station?”
“After answering the phone, she was in a daze for a long time, then cried silently for a long time, until the mobile phone alarm rang. She wiped her tears, put on her coat and went to the kindergarten. Boss, I don’t think there’s anything strange about her. ”
Ling Huaan nodded and said, “Go ahead and continue following her.”
“Okay, boss.”
Watching Wang Lei float out through the glass window, Ling Huaan was lost in thought, and suddenly heard Jiang Changping’s voice, “She’s not the murderer.”
Ling Huaan was startled, but did not respond.
After he finished washing, Jiang Chengyan walked out from behind the supermarket, put the thermos on the table, and said, “Huaan, are you going to be on the night shift today?”
“Yeah. Jiang dui, it’s late, go back early to rest.”
“When will you go home?”
“Tomorrow at seven o’clock.”
“Huaan, why aren’t you on day shift?” Jiang Chengyan asked the question lingering in his heart.
Ling Huaan smiled and said, “For me, there is no difference between day and night.”
Jiang Chengyan felt a tug in his chest. “Sorry, Huaan.”
“It’s okay, I’m used to it. I like the silence, and I’m not busy at night. I enjoy my leisure.”
“What about Sun Ming? Does he leave work at seven tomorrow morning?”
“No, he’s on duty until ten. After ten, I’m the only one in the shop.”
“Alone? Or with someone else? Why not hire another night shift?”
“Is Jiang dui worrying about me?”
Ling Huaan’s eyes was directly looking at him, making Jiang Chengyan a little uncomfortable and said, “Yeah.”
