This is Xie Jingchen.

An Ruqiao easily identified the owner of the footsteps, and then listened to him enter the password, open the door, and close the door.

Not long after, there was the sound of water.

The roar of the water heater and the sound of flowing water pipes were amplified to the extreme at night.

An Ruqiao asked the smart housekeeper to turn on the lights.

Listening to the sound of Xie Jingchen washing up a room away, An Ruqiao felt her physical strength. After regaining some strength, she sat up from the sofa.

An Ruqiao took out her cell phone from her coat pocket and glanced at it. There were two WeChat messages.

When I clicked on it, I saw that it was all sent by Xie Jingchen.

"Fang Ling is dead."

"Do you have the time?"

The two messages were separated by more than two hours. The first one was sent around ten o'clock, and the second one was sent around twelve o'clock.

An Ruqiao thought for a moment and replied to Xie Jingchen, "I have time, please wait." Then she got up to take care of the hygiene issues.

It took about fifteen minutes to take a bath. Xie Jingchen moved faster than her, and the sound of water stopped seven or eight minutes ago.

An Ruqiao came out wrapped in an absorbent bathrobe and got rid of the sweat. She breathed a sigh of relief and went on to the next thing fresh and clear.

She took a look at her phone first. On the WeChat interface, her pretty neighbor sent her two messages back.

"OK."

"Not in a hurry."

To be honest, An Ruqiao was not surprised when he saw the news about Fang Ling's death.

As early as when Zhou Yang died, she had a premonition that Fang Ling would die too.

An Ruqiao was going to help Xie Jingchen catch the person who killed Zhou Yang.

When Zhou Yang was penetrated by the steel pipe, he was only a few decimeters away from her. Even though An Ruqiao was not hurt, she still held a grudge.

That murderer clearly didn't care if he hurt innocent people.

In An Ruqiao's view, this kind of avenger who is determined to kill even if he involves passers-by is basically the same as the people in RL who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

Moreover, An Ruqiao was not a generous person to begin with.

After spending another two minutes changing the disposable sheets and quilt covers on the sofa, An Ruqiao sat down and made a video call to Xie Jingchen.

As soon as I called, the waiting bell didn't even ring, and Xie Jingchen had already answered the call.

An Ruqiao used a cup on the coffee table to hold her mobile phone, and her entire upper body was in the camera.

On the other side, the picture of Xie Jingchen displayed on the phone, his entire face filled the screen.

An Ruqiao found it a little funny.

The way he opens the video and puts the camera on his face makes him look like an old man.

"Hello?"

Xie Jingchen's voice was a little hoarse, probably because of overwork.

"You can hear me." An Ruqiao smiled, "What do you want from me?"

Over there, Xie Jingchen paused, and instead of getting down to business, he asked something unrelated, "Why are you still up so late?"

An Ruqiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Aren't you asleep too?"

"It's different. It's because I have to work overtime." Xie Jingchen was silent for a while and then added, "Staying up late is not good for your skin."

Immediately afterwards, Xie Jingchen remembered what An Ruqiao had said to him before when he was angry, that he didn't like others making decisions for her in the name of doing her best. Thinking about what he had just said, he felt that it was not very good. He clenched his fists and felt a little

cramped.

An Ruqiao was indeed a little unhappy when she heard what he said just now, but seeing that he almost had the word "embarrassed" written on his face, she felt funny at the same time.

I couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Do you live very close to me?" An Ruqiao brought the phone closer to let the camera take a clearer picture of herself, "Do you want... to come and talk in person?"

The mobile phone without any beautification comes with a camera, which makes the picture taken slightly distorted compared to the human eye. However, An Ruqiao under the lens does not seem to be affected by the magnification effect of the original camera at all.

Despite the negative impact of imperfections, it is still breathtakingly beautiful.

Xie Jingchen looked at An Ruqiao on the phone screen, watching the water droplets flowing down from her hair and flowing into the bathrobe along her jawline...

His Adam's apple moved and he replied, "Okay."

After the video ended, Xie Jingchen put his phone away, stood up and walked out.

When he was about to go out, Xie Jingchen saw the full-length mirror on the wall, took a step back, stepped back in front of the mirror, and took a closer look.

Dressing, no problem.

Just took a shower, no smell.

After thinking for a while, he unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, looked at it, frowned, and felt a little frivolous, so he buttoned it back up.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, Xie Jingchen walked out of the room and walked towards An Ruqiao's room.

In fact, Xie Jingchen knew the password to An Ruqiao's room, but he didn't enter the password and knocked on the door anyway.

Just as he raised his hand to knock, the door opened before his knuckles even touched the door panel.

"Come in." An Ruqiao turned sideways to make way for Xie Jingchen, "Why are you standing there in a daze?"

Xie Jingchen glanced at An Ruqiao and didn't dare to look again. The hasty glance just now made his head a little hot.

He walked in without looking away, walked straight to the bed, sat down, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

An Ruqiao saw that he was so nervous that he was almost on the same hand as his own, and inexplicably felt that he looked a little cute.

Think about the time when we first met, when he dared to put his hands around his waist. Now, why has he regressed?

An Ruqiao closed the door and sat down on the sofa.

The bathrobe is not too long, and the hem reaches just above the knees. It is tied loosely, and a little skin is exposed at the collar, but it is completely covered when it is close to the danger zone.

Xie Jingchen's eyes drifted to An Ruqiao for a moment, then moved away, looking for a focus on the coffee table, as if there was something special on the coffee table, and stopped looking at An Ruqiao.

"Are you looking for me about Fang Ling's death case?" An Ruqiao felt teasing in her heart, but she didn't show it at the beginning. Instead, she got to the point first.

"Yes," Xie Jingchen's eyes were fixed on the water glass on the table, as if he wanted to see through it, "I mainly want to ask you about sexual development abnormalities. You are more professional in medicine... I suspect the murderer.

The gender may not be male as we originally estimated."

After An Ruqiao understood it, he briefly explained the relevant knowledge to Xie Jingchen, and Luo Qingqing gave examples.

"In other words, some people's physical characteristics are different from the true gender indicated by their genes, right?"

"Yes." An Ruqiao gave him some other popular science information, "In fact, according to genes, there are five types of human gender, namely male, male-biased, hermaphrodite, female-biased and female."

An Ruqiao gave Xie Jingchen a popular science on gender and gave many typical examples, which made Xie Jingchen think deeply.
