âWhy canât I eat?â Nian Xi looked at the photos seriously as she ate the chicken wings.
Jiang Yuning: â...â
Was there a need to ask why? It was disgusting and terrifying.
Fang Qi patted her shoulder. âYou need to get used to it. Some things just need to be looked at twice.â
Jiang Yuning frowned deeply. âThen why are you guys hiding?â
âNot everyone is as powerful as sister Xi,â Fang Qi said with an embarrassed smile, âThatâs why Iâm her sidekick now. Donât you believe me? In the past, when I first started working on this kind of criminal case, I vomited every time I saw the photos. Later on, I became numb after I vomited too much. Sister Xi often went to the forensic laboratory. When it was really safe and I didnât have a clue, she would personally go because sometimes the forensic doctors arenât as sharp as police officers.â
Jiang Yuningâs heart twitched as he listened. His wife was really strong, but the stronger she was, the more his heart ached.
âWhy are you calling me sister Xi? Youâre three years older than me, okay?â Nian Xi raised her head and rolled her eyes at him. âChen Lian, go take a look at the photo. Tell me whatâs wrong tomorrow morning.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chen Lian, who was biting on his pork belly, immediately looked tearful. âCaptain...â
âDonât rely on me for everything. You guys just donât have enough confidence, so without me around, thereâs no progress in the case,â Nian Xi said snappily. âIn a few days, Iâll need to apply for leave to go on a vacation. Iâll have to hand this case over to you guys.â
âVacation?â Chen Lian was stunned, but when he saw Jiang Yuningâs happy look, he instantly understood, âAre you going on a honeymoon trip? Itâs pretty good. Captain, youâve been tense all this time, so you should relax. Donât worry, Iâm sure youâll be able to solve this case when you come back.â
âI hope so,â Nian Xi said calmly, âYou donât have to promise me since the person who died wasnât me. You have to live up to the salary youâve received, the uniform youâre wearing, and the family members of the deceased who have faith in us.â
Chen Lian immediately became serious, and Fang Qi also felt a wave of admiration. Perhaps this was also the reason why Nian Xi had been promoted faster than him, and Jiang Yuning, who was listening by the side, felt an upsurge of emotion.
âAlright, itâs very late today. Letâs go back.â Nian Xi picked up her bag and stood up.
âHoney, let me help you carry it.â Jiang Yuning quickly helped her carry her bag.
When Nian Xi locked the office door and walked downstairs, Jiang Yuning said sincerely, âXixi, Iâve realized that youâre really great. I want to learn from you, and I also want to live up to my profession.â
âWe have different professions.â Nian Xi held his hand. It was a cold night, âYouâre a scientist, exploring and understanding the unknown, while weâre maintaining order. Only when we maintain order can you use science to lead us further.â
Jiang Yuning listened in a daze. He carefully thought over Nian Xiâs words and suddenly felt that it made sense.
âXixi, I will work hard,â Jiang Yuning said seriously. âI will develop many scientific research projects that are beneficial to humans.â
Nian Xi smiled and nodded. âI will honor you.â
Jiang Yuning suddenly became shy. His right hand pulled at his ear. He had been holding Nian Xiâs hand, but now he was holding her waist.
Just then, someone walked over. The person was staring at the two of them. Jiang Yuning immediately said, âI am her hubby.â
The other party was baffled and quickly took a few steps towards the two of them. Nian Xi was puzzled. âYou know Him?â
âI donât know him.â
âThen why are you talking to him?â
âHe kept looking at us. I thought he was your colleague.â Jiang Yuning looked confused.
