Gu Linglong came back again and said anxiously: "Gu Qingcheng, did you take my book?"
Gu Qingcheng calmly put the two volumes of "The Story of the Stone" on the table and said: "Not only did I take the first volume, I also brought the second volume. Your Mr. Xu said that in order to express his gratitude to his mother,
, this book should be considered as a meeting gift.”
"You went to see him?" Gu Linglong was surprised.
Gu Qingcheng sighed exaggeratedly and said: "My sister has found someone she likes. As a sister, of course I have to look after her."
Seeing her mother looking at her with a smile, Gu Linglong immediately blushed, turned to Gu Qingcheng and said, "Why are you like this? You don't have any credibility at all!"
"Linglong, you can't accuse your sister wrongly. How can I not be trustworthy?"
"You are still making excuses! You promised me personally that you would not tell anyone about this matter."
"I didn't tell outsiders, is my mother an outsider?" Gu Qingcheng had an innocent expression on her face.
Gu Linglong was speechless, unable to refute this sentence.
Mrs. Gu picked up the book on the table, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Knowing that I like this kind of books, Mr. Xu is really thoughtful."
Gu Linglong stopped talking, turned around and ran out.
Mrs. Gu said: "Qingcheng, Linglong is going to Hangzhou soon. Try not to make her unhappy and go and coax her."
"As ordered, mother, if there is nothing else, my daughter will resign." Gu Qingcheng pretended to be serious and happy.
Gu Linglong's boudoir is on the second floor, and next door is Gu Qingcheng's boudoir.
At this time, Gu Linglong was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
The delay in returning the first volume of "The Story of the Stone" was actually to have an excuse to meet Xu Siqi.
It's good now, the excuse is gone...
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door.
"Linglong, are you inside? My sister is coming in." Gu Qingcheng's voice came from outside the door.
Gu Linglong said angrily: "I'm not here, don't come in!"
Gu Qingcheng opened the door and walked in, sat opposite Gu Linglong, smiled and looked at her pouting sister for a while, and said: "Looking at you now, I know what I look like when I am unhappy."
"I don't want to talk to you." Gu Linglong turned sideways and refused to look at her sister angrily.
"Well, originally, I wanted to talk about some things about Xu Siqi, but you don't want to talk to me, so forget it..." Gu Qingcheng stood up to leave.
Gu Linglong took her sister's hand, smiled and said, "I suddenly want to talk to you again."
Gu Qingcheng chuckled, reached out and scratched her sister's nose, and said, "You just said you didn't want to talk to me, but when you heard Xu Siqi's name, your attitude immediately changed 180 degrees! Gu Linglong, who values sex over sister, is so shameless."
The two sisters often bickered and teased Gu Qingcheng. Gu Linglong had long been accustomed to it and asked eagerly: "Have you seen him today?"
"He said something stupid. If you didn't see him, how could you get the book?"
"What did he say?"
"He said..."
Gu Qingcheng rolled his eyes and said, "Linglong, if you want to hear about Xu Siqi, you must agree to a condition first."
"What conditions?"
"Don't expose me."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't worry about it. If you agree, I will continue."
"Okay, okay, I promise not to expose you."
In Gu Linglong's expectant eyes, Gu Qingcheng cleared her throat and said to the door: "Xiao Cui, I'm hungry, go get a bowl of rock sugar lotus seed soup."
Xiaocui agreed and walked quickly downstairs.
"It's a lazy ass..." Gu Linglong muttered softly.
Gu Qingcheng just pretended not to hear, briefly told what happened, and then ordered: "Don't tell anyone about this matter. The matter has already passed. There is no need to worry my mother."
Gu Linglong was stunned for a long time: "You mean, he thought you were me from beginning to end?"
Gu Qingcheng smiled and said: "Actually, it's no wonder that he recognized the wrong person. If we two wore the same clothes at home, even my mother would admit it, let alone Xu Siqi."
"Why didn't you tell him?"
"He didn't ask, so I didn't tell."
"Gu Qingcheng, let me tell you what you are good at!"
"Linglong, you just promised not to expose me in front of him!"
"you……"
"Sister, please, if you expose me, it will be very embarrassing when you meet Xu Siqi in the future..."
"Do you still know how to be embarrassed?"
"Of course I know." Gu Qingcheng said confidently.
There was nothing Gu Linglong could do to deal with this quirky sister. Besides, Gu Qingcheng didn't mean to deceive, he just never denied it.
However, Gu Linglong was very curious about Xu Siqi being a patrol officer. She was eager to see what Xu Siqi looked like in uniform.
"Linglong, you are going to Hangzhou the day after tomorrow. Before leaving, why don't you go and see Xu Siqi?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
Gu Linglong was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and said: "He and I have just met, and we are at most ordinary friends. When we meet, what should I say?"
Although she said so, she had already made up her mind to meet Xu Siqi before leaving for Hangzhou.
…………
Turn around.
Foch Road Patrol Room.
After all, it was his first day at work, and Xu Siqi arrived at the patrol room early.
The inspector's rank is not high enough and he does not have a separate office. He is always in a big room with his patrol officers.
Thinking of Amao's dislocated arm, Xu Siqi walked towards the prison.
Amao's confession is very important. As long as he is willing to testify against Zhang Xiaolin, Xu Siqi will find reporters and report the matter publicly in newspapers. No matter what the background of Ito Trading Company is, under the pressure of public opinion, at least it will not be able to stand in the concession.
I guess I'll have to get out in a few days.
Before he could reach the prison door, he saw two police officers carrying a man out on a bed board.
The patrolman who came to change the shift took a look and asked: "Old Wang, what happened?"
"The prisoner committed suicide out of fear of crime," the patrolman who carried the person replied.
"How did you die?"
"Hang yourself."
"Is your feng shui bad lately? One person choked to death the day before yesterday, and now another one has hanged himself."
"Who says it's not..."
The conversations among the patrol officers were just like ordinary chatter. Even if someone died, no one would think it was serious. Death in prison is completely normal.
Xu Siqi walked closer and took a closer look. He couldn't help being surprised. The dead man lying on the bed was none other than Amao, who was still alive and kicking yesterday.
How could a person who would rather take risks to escape from prison in order to survive have such a strong desire to live commit suicide out of fear of crime?
There is no need to analyze this matter too much. There must be someone from Zhang Xiaolin in the patrol room, and Amao must have been silenced!
Xu Siqi secretly blamed himself. It seemed that he was careless. Since Shengzi could "choke to death" on prison food like pig food, Amao could also hang himself with one hand.
