Is it normal to live on the phone to help your boyfriend investigate the case?

Chapter 176 Storytelling

Everyone is busy with work during working hours, and those who may not be interested in dealing with investigations may not necessarily wait until after get off work.

If these people still resist after get off work and are unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, Mei Chao will consider waiting until noon the next day, during the lunch break, to try again.

He had a guess in his heart, and in order to prove that he was right, he was already mentally prepared to stay in Linlan County for a few more days.

On Qu Mingcong's side, Xiao Qiao kept urging him to go back.

This made Qu Mingcong feel a sense of miscalculation and frustration. He originally thought that she would like the market atmosphere here, so he took her to visit the most distinctive antique market in Linlan County, but Xiao Qiao didn't catch a cold at all.

There are stalls on both sides of the crowded street, all kinds of gadgets are dazzling, and there are antique boutiques in the farther places. There are not as many people as there are in the market, and the prices are not as approachable as in the market.

Naturally, you can’t buy real antiques cheap, but you can still choose a few well-made handles. Qu Mingcong picked a thumb walnut bracelet. He didn’t understand this, and he just wanted to join in the fun.

Mei Chao squatted on the floor next door picking tiles, and He Qile also followed, squatting on the floor picking like him.

There is a simple signboard in front of the booth, with a line of words written on it: Ming and Qing old porcelain pieces are 29 yuan a catty.

Good guy, sell by the catty.

It was so cheap that even Qu Mingcong was tempted to buy a catty and take it home.

"When are you going back to the hotel? I want to go back and play games." Xiao Qiao urged on the phone.

"10 minutes?" Qu Mingcong looked at Mei Chao and He Qile hesitantly. The two of them were wrapped in down jackets and squatted on the ground, like two bulging cotton balls.

"I'll say hello to them before they finish picking." Qu Mingcong said, "Do you want to buy some too? I thought you would be interested in these gadgets."

Xiao Qiao replied in a muffled voice, "I'm not in the mood."

Qu Mingcong was slightly taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to say it." She said in a bad tone, "Anyway, I don't want to stroll outside."

Qu Mingcong was silent for a while, then shifted his eyes to Mei Chao, "Come out for dinner? Mei Chao wants to invite a few old masters in the studio to dinner..."

"No, no, no!" Before she finished speaking, Xiao Qiao yelled irritably.

After Qu Mingcong finished speaking, the rest of the sentence: "Then I'll take He Qile to eat hot pot, and you stay in the hotel to play games?"

Xiao Qiao was stunned for two seconds, then changed her words: "No, how can I eat hot pot without my mobile phone?"

Qu Mingcong twitched the corner of his mouth, "I can tell, you just don't want to be with Mei Chao, why? Did he provoke you?"

Xiao Qiao rolled her eyes on the phone, "Don't you think he's annoying? Like a dog smelling of meat, he's been thinking about how to find out about Ding Na's love life along the way."

Qu Mingcong smiled, "Still angry about what happened just now? Although his speculation is not flattering, it is indeed possible. Ding Na died inexplicably. There must be an explanation, and he might be right."

Xiao Qiao's eyes were about to roll to the sky, "I don't understand, we have ruled out the possibility of committing suicide because of emotional problems, why are we starting to investigate in this direction now? The security guard said that Ding Na likes antiques. Some people say that Ding Na likes antiques, and Ding Zhaolin also admitted that his daughter likes blue and white porcelain. He also specially arranged separate workshops in the museum and factory for Ding Na to use. Qi He also admitted that Ding Na is very talented in this area. All the information provided by me shows that Ding Na likes this thing, but how ridiculous, just because Qi He is single, Mei Chao's useless little head thinks there is an emotional problem here? I have never seen such an investigation, What kind of case investigation is this, it’s just making up stories!”

Qu Mingcong hummed unhurriedly, and replied leisurely: "What Ding Zhaolin wants is to make up stories, right? Pan Fang and Cao Xiuwen have given two versions. Ding Zhaolin may not like Mei Chao's version. But there must be."

Xiao Qiao heard it, her eyes were gloomy, "Okay... I admit that you are right, Mei Chao is just doing what she likes... Ugh, I still feel so sick, why don't we quit? I don't want to investigate this case gone."

"You don't want to find out the truth?" Qu Mingcong smiled, "The inference that there was a second person in your room before was quite interesting."

She was very impatient, "What's the use of being interesting, and there is no physical evidence to support it."

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. You just pretend that we went out to play." Qu Mingcong stepped forward a few steps, squeezed into the crowd and asked the stall owner, "Are there any blue and white porcelain pieces from the Song Dynasty?"

"Yes!" The boss pointed to a small pile of broken porcelain pieces at his feet, and shouted loudly for fear that Qu Mingcong might not be able to hear clearly, "50 pieces!"

"Wow, the price difference is so big?" Qu Mingcong squeezed over and picked one that was pleasing to the eye, "That's it."

He spent 50 yuan to buy an old porcelain piece from the Song Dynasty, without even a serious packaging, the boss wrapped it in a plastic bag and stuffed it.

Qu Mingcong patted Mei Chao and He Qile on the back, "Have you two finished picking yet? I have something to go back to the hotel."

"...Ah, ah?" He Qile immediately put aside the tile and stood up, "Then I'll go back too."

He and Qu Mingcong must always act in the same way.

Mei Chao waved his hands, "You guys go back, I'll buy some alcohol and cigarettes and send them to the factory later, just to make connections."

Qu Mingcong looked at He Qile, "If you like it, you can go shopping for a while, just go back to the hotel and meet me at dinner time."

"No more shopping, no more shopping..." He Qile shook his head, "I have to follow you."

"Okay." Qu Mingcong put his hands in his pockets, turned and walked out.

He Qile took a few steps to keep up, and the bodyguards behind him were also struggling to follow in the crowd.

"Then...then what, did she show up today?" He Qile approached Qu Mingcong and asked.

"What she? Which it?" Qu Mingcong asked knowingly.

"Uh, that's...that's her," He Qile pursed his lips, and said falteringly, "My sister."

Qu Mingcong continued to walk forward, "It appeared."

He Qile was taken aback, "When?"

"Just now," he glanced back at He Qile, "your sister said she wanted to go back to the hotel and not go shopping."

"Ah..." He Qile was stunned, looking a bit shocked, "How come... I didn't sense her appearance at all..."

"Isn't it normal to not sense it?" Qu Mingcong teased, "Otherwise you wouldn't have lost her."

He Qile came back to his senses, and quickly followed behind him, "It was an accident! No one knows that there will be a car accident. According to normal circumstances, as long as the distance between me and her is not more than three meters, I can sense her presence , can also carry out information transfer and storage!"

"Wow, amazing~" Qu Mingcong exaggerated, but his tone was perfunctory.

Since He Qile came to Lanlan, he has been left alone, and he felt wronged at first, but now he heard Qu Mingcong's words, and he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Are you lying to me?" He asked Qu Mingcong with an aggrieved expression, "If she really appeared, I couldn't have not felt it! Tell the director that she is on you, but how do I feel...I, how do I feel Are you lying? Qu Mingcong, where did you hide her?!"
