"No, I'm here to pick someone up." Li Jue patted Tan Wan's shoulder and asked softly, "Can you leave?"
When the deputy director heard Li Jue's words, he turned around and asked Tan Wan: "Officer Tan and Consultant Li have an appointment?"
Without waiting for Tanwan to speak, Li Jue continued calmly: "The details of the case need to be discussed with Officer Tan."
"So that's it. Then let's go to work, Officer Tan. The case is important."
With the deputy bureau's permission, Tan Wan stood up and pushed his chair under the table, raised the unfinished wine on the table and drank it down in one gulp: "Deputy bureau, colleagues, I'm leaving first."
Although the deputy bureau chief was often late for dinner talks, he never dared to leave early. Today was the first time, and his heart was still pounding until he walked to the door.
While sitting, I just felt a little warm all over, probably because of the alcohol.
After standing up and walking for two steps, I felt light-headed and light-headed, and then I felt the alcohol on my head.
After leaving the hotel and getting into the car, I immediately burped. The wind blew in the car window. Instead of becoming sober, I started to have a headache.
Seeing her holding the buckle of the seat belt in her hand and poking around the buckle beside her, without successfully inserting the buckle for a long time, Li Jue knew that she had drunk too much.
She was not precise in her attacks, but she was powerful. Drops of water penetrated rocks. If she continued like this, it would be a matter of time before she could penetrate the territory.
Li Jue took the seat belt from her hand without saying a word, his eyebrows almost knitting together: "How much did you drink?"
"No more, no more." Tan Wan waved her hands, blinked hard, and then stretched out her hand to sign a six in front of herself, "Just five cups of red."
He said "five cups" in his mouth, but made a sign of "six" with his hand. It seemed that he was indeed delirious.
"Don't attend this kind of dinner party next time. It's a waste of time and hurts your body."
Tan Wan chuckled: "Won't the leader participate in the game? You don't want me to continue hanging around here."
Li Jue was silent for a moment: "Is this the job you have worked so hard to keep? If you are tricked into doing this by others, can you be successful in talking about it?"
There was a hint of hatred in his voice, a hint of forbearance and helplessness, and more of a hint of pampering and distress.
"I'm worthless?" She looked at Li Jue and paused for two seconds with questioning eyes, "Yes, after working as a police officer for so many years, I was just a deputy in the end.
My mother has been dead for so many years, but the murderer is still floating in the sky. I spend my free time investigating the case every day, but I haven't found any clues about the suspect!
I drank with my superiors until midnight. Do you think this is my original intention of becoming a police officer? Am I so mean? "
"You drank too much." Li Jue's eyes were filled with gloom. He did not continue to argue with Tan Wan and wanted to end the topic.
"Li Jue, please speak up." She refused to give up, and was bound to argue between right and wrong.
Li Jue took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "Since we are talking about being cheap, I think I am the one who is cheap!
As long as you give me the illusion that you still love me, I will force myself to forget the betrayal and hurt you did to me in the past, and forget all that and turn around to pray for your sincerity. But it’s late, do you really mean it? "
"You think I betrayed you? I just provided evidence of the truth!"
"That sounds nice. Doesn't it have anything to do with money?"
"What?" Hearing this, Tan Wan was stunned and didn't understand what this had to do with money.
"It doesn't matter." Li Jue locked the door and started the car, "This is how we will do it for the rest of our lives."
There was silence all the way, and on the way back to the manor, Tan Wan always felt that there was something wrong with this.
In fact, she had felt strange ever since Li Jue's attitude towards her suddenly changed 360 degrees a few years ago.
Li Jue was not an unreasonable person. Even if she provided conclusive evidence to the procuratorate, she would not have been retaliated against by him for so many years.
When talking about this matter before, he kept questioning whether the evidence he provided back then was true. At that time, Tan Wan only thought that he was making things up out of thin air, but Li felt that it was impossible to mention money for no reason. There must be something in between that she didn't know. .
How should I investigate this matter... After talking for a while, I felt like I had no idea where to start.
Li Jue seems to have a lot of friends around him, but how many of them can really gain his trust and know him best?
After thinking for a long time, Doctor He finally came to mind.
The most critical problem that she has been manipulated by Li Jue until now is that Li Jue has all the records of her psychiatric visits in recent years.
The record was given by Dr. He, who was the only person involved in the Lijue Project.
Well, we still have to start from Dr. He’s side.
The car drove all the way back to the manor. Tanwan had long been used to having conflicts with Li Jue. She thought that after today's quarrel, he would have a cold war with her for a few days.
The car stopped steadily and turned off. Tan Wan reached out to unbuckle his seat belt and prepared to get out of the car. He pulled the door several times, but it could not be opened.
When Tan Wan turned to look at Li Jue, he was sitting quietly in the driver's seat with his eyes slightly lowered, without saying a word.
She just sat with him, waiting patiently for him to unlock the car door.
"It's my fault today, don't be angry with me."
His tone was calm, but every word was a compromise, "You can sleep by yourself tonight, and I'll go out."
As he finished speaking, the car door unlocked at the same time.
Tan Wan lowered his head silently and didn't ask any more questions. He just replied warmly: "Okay." Then he opened the door and got out of the car.
When Shi Jingqian heard Li Jue's car drive into the manor, she ran out excitedly without even having time to change into her pajamas.
Seeing that only after talking about it late, his expression of disappointment did not hide at all: "Why are you the only one who's back? Where's my cousin?"
In the past few days, I had been busy at the police station for two consecutive nights. I was so busy that I almost forgot that there was a troublemaker at home.
"Jingqian, go back to sleep!" Behind them, Shi Jingqian's mother walked towards them, "It's almost 12 o'clock, and your skin will be damaged if you don't sleep."
"But..." Shi Jingqian glanced outside the door and couldn't wait for Li Jue for a long time, so she had to give up and turn around and leave.
Tan Wan looked at Mrs. Qian Er and said, "Are you still there?"
"What you say about Miss Tan is really interesting. This is my sister's son's home. Compared with me, Miss Tan is the outsider who shouldn't be here, right?"
It was too late, I was very tired from talking late, and I glanced at her and was too lazy to argue with her.
But just when Tan Wan avoided it and was about to go upstairs, he was blocked by Mrs. Qian again.
Mrs. Qian Er: "You and Xiao Li are not in a relationship. It is understandable for a good and successful man to have several lovers. But Miss Tan is a policeman. If your police station knew that you were a lover of a wealthy family outside, they would I won’t fire you?”
I was already annoyed tonight, and Tan Wan was already angry in my heart. When Mrs. Qian Er said this, dissatisfaction instantly appeared on her face.
She would say this because she probably didn't know that Li Jue also worked in the police station.
"I advise you not to be smart and threaten a police officer with rumors, especially since this is my territory."
Tan Wan sneered, "Lijue told me how many pounds you have, but you don't know how many pounds I have. If you dare to talk nonsense, you are looking for death."
