“Why can’t I eat?” Nian Xi looked at the photos seriously as she ate the chicken wings.
Jiang Yuning: “…”
Was there a need to ask why? It was disgusting and terrifying.
Fang Qi patted her shoulder. “You need to get used to it. Some things just need to be looked at twice.”
Jiang Yuning frowned deeply. “Then why are you guys hiding?”
“Not everyone is as powerful as sister Xi,” Fang Qi said with an embarrassed smile, “That’s why I’m her sidekick now. Don’t 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 didn’t have a clue, she would personally go because sometimes the forensic doctors aren’t as sharp as police officers.”
Jiang Yuning’s heart twitched as he listened. His wife was really strong, but the stronger she was, the more his heart ached.
“Why are you calling me sister Xi? You’re three years older than me, okay?” Nian Xi raised her head and rolled her eyes at him. “Chen Lian, go take a look at the photo. Tell me what’s wrong tomorrow morning.”
Chen Lian, who was biting on his pork belly, immediately looked tearful. “Captain…”
“Don’t rely on me for everything. You guys just don’t have enough confidence, so without me around, there’s no progress in the case,” Nian Xi said snappily. “In a few days, I’ll need to apply for leave to go on a vacation. I’ll have to hand this case over to you guys.”
“Vacation?” Chen Lian was stunned, but when he saw Jiang Yuning’s happy look, he instantly understood, “Are you going on a honeymoon trip? It’s pretty good. Captain, you’ve been tense all this time, so you should relax. Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll be able to solve this case when you come back.”
“I hope so,” Nian Xi said calmly, “You don’t have to promise me since the person who died wasn’t me. You have to live up to the salary you’ve received, the uniform you’re wearing, and the family members of the deceased who have faith in us.”
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.
“Alright, it’s very late today. Let’s go back.” Nian Xi picked up her bag and stood up.
“Honey, let me help you carry it.” Jiang Yuning quickly helped her carry her bag.
When Nian Xi locked the office door and walked downstairs, Jiang Yuning said sincerely, “Xixi, I’ve realized that you’re really great. I want to learn from you, and I also want to live up to my profession.”
“We have different professions.” Nian Xi held his hand. It was a cold night, “You’re a scientist, exploring and understanding the unknown, while we’re maintaining order. Only when we maintain order can you use science to lead us further.”
Jiang Yuning listened in a daze. He carefully thought over Nian Xi’s words and suddenly felt that it made sense.
“Xixi, I will work hard,” Jiang Yuning said seriously. “I will develop many scientific research projects that are beneficial to humans.”
Nian Xi smiled and nodded. “I will honor you.”
Jiang Yuning suddenly became shy. His right hand pulled at his ear. He had been holding Nian Xi’s 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, “I am her hubby.”
The other party was baffled and quickly took a few steps towards the two of them. Nian Xi was puzzled. “You know Him?”
“I don’t know him.”
“Then why are you talking to him?”
“He kept looking at us. I thought he was your colleague.” Jiang Yuning looked confused.
