Chapter 188 Trainee Detective 26
A few days ago, a dismemberment case occurred on a rainy night in the southeast, which directly alarmed the ministry and commission to supervise the investigation.
When the inspection team went down, they also took him along to serve them like slaves.
"So fast?" Ling Yi was a little surprised. That case had been deadlocked for half a year, and Xiang Ke had only been gone for a few days.
Xiang Ke's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, like a peacock spreading its tail: "I have a little bit of professional skill that just happens to come in handy, and the thugs just happened to run into that."
Ling Yi suppressed a laugh: "Really? That amazing?"
Xiang Ke: "..."
He sighed, "Am I being stupid?"
He always wanted to show her his best side, but it seemed like he was always making a fool of himself.
“Not really.” Ling Yi’s eyes were full of laughter: “It’s kind of adorably clumsy.”
Xiang Ke: "...Alright, as long as you find it cute enough."
He thought he was quite serious and aloof, but for some reason, Ling Yi didn't seem to see him that way.
Even though she was so much younger than him, every time Xiang Ke looked at himself through Ling Yi's eyes, all he could see was a silly dog throwing a tantrum and biting his slippers.
Ok……
She looked at the silly dog with a smile in her eyes, so he thought being looked at like that wasn't such a bad idea.
At traffic lights, Xiang Ke gripped the steering wheel loosely or tightly, as if he had some unspeakable secret or some major decision he was struggling to make.
Ling Yi scrutinized his seemingly cold and serious profile, but felt that this guy didn't seem to be thinking about anything serious at the moment.
This indecisiveness might stem from wanting to hold hands, or perhaps wanting to ask, "What do you think of me?"
To be honest, Ling Yi quite liked his serious, conflicted, and helpless expression.
Let's just consider it her bad taste and pretend we didn't see it for now, let him struggle for a while longer.
Perhaps during this time she will see even more peacocks displaying their plumage?
I just hope he doesn't show his butt again.
At this point, Ling Yi was certain that if Xiang Ke's professional skills were as bad as his romantic skills, he wouldn't even be able to get a bachelor's degree.
Xiang Ke really wanted to hold hands, but on the one hand, he felt that it was disrespectful to do this before establishing a relationship, and on the other hand, he felt that he could send out his signals before confessing his feelings and see if Ling Yi had any intention of being with him.
The two conflicting thoughts in my mind are more difficult to resolve than solving a murder case.
As the green light turned on, Xiang Ke meticulously started the car, but in his heart, he was tearing apart roses.
He was so conflicted that he barely spoke a word the whole way, and when he arrived at Lingyi's building, he was still a little dazed.
Ling Yi tried to start the car, then glanced at him helplessly and said, "Director Xiang, are you trying to lock me in this car? Do you know how many years you'll be sentenced for illegal imprisonment?"
Xiang Ke then unlocked the car. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he said stiffly, "I don't know. It's been a long time since I've looked at the law."
After he finished speaking, his brows furrowed again.
What is this nonsense?
Do they want to discuss legal provisions with you?
Xiang Ke, Xiang Ke, how could you be so stupid?
Xiang Ke felt a pang of self-loathing, while the people around him laughed so hard their shoulders trembled.
Ling Yi not only laughed, but also made Xiang Ke respond to how ridiculous he was: "Really? Director Xiang, that's not very professional. How about I recommend a couple of books to help you catch up?"
Xiang Ke took a deep breath. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone a fierce hunting dog like himself.
So he pursed his lips seriously and said, "No need, I can learn on my own."
Don't think he didn't hear Ling Yi's mockery.
Hahahaha!
His muffled voice finally made Ling Yi laugh so hard she bent over.
A blush spread from Xiang Ke's ears to his neck and cheeks.
Under the car's headlights, the red was not obvious, but Ling Yi still saw it.
"Director Xiang," she said seriously, "your face is so red, do you have a fever? Should I call a doctor for you?"
Looking down at the large hand gripping her arm, Ling Yi raised an eyebrow: "You've grabbed the wrong person. I'm not a doctor."
"I am." The usually meticulous Director Xiang said something not so meticulous to deceive the non-professional: "I think I am sick. If Miss Ling says less, this illness will get better immediately."
"You're sick but you still have so much strength?" Ling Yi looked down at the hand on her arm and said softly, "Director Xiang, you're hurting me."
Xiang Ke was certain that there was no pain; the force wouldn't cause Ling Yi any pain, but...
What if?
Therefore, the kind-hearted Director Xiang decided to change the location of the arrest to prevent this pleasure-seeking criminal from making fun of him again.
His hand slid down and finally grasped Lingyi's hand.
He was clearly a strong, middle-aged man, but his strength was frighteningly light, allowing Ling Yi to break free easily.
He stared straight ahead, coldly commanding, "Ling Yi, stop laughing!"
He'll get angry and embarrassed too!
Ling Yi looked down at the overly honest hand, finding it hard to believe that such a pure act could come from a thirty-year-old man.
She flicked her fingertips slightly, leaving a feather-like sensation on the man's palm.
Xiang Ke's breath hitched, and the next moment his lightly clenched hand suddenly tightened, his slender fingertips searching for Ling Yi's fingers, interlocking with hers.
The carriage suddenly fell silent. In this innocent atmosphere, the people holding hands could only hear each other's heartbeats.
After a long while, Xiang Ke reluctantly let go of that hand: "It's getting late, go and get some rest, tomorrow morning..."
"Don't come to pick me up." Ling Yi interrupted him decisively: "Taking the subway is much better than taking a car so early in the morning."
Xiang Ke nodded regretfully: "Then I'll pick you up after get off work..."
He paused, then added, "If we don't work overtime."
They were both too busy with their own things, so their romance was destined to blossom only in the gaps of time.
Ling Yi nodded, opened the door, and got out of the car.
The moment the car door closed, Ling Yi knocked on the car window, signaling Xiang Ke to roll it down.
When the man's face reappeared in front of her, she put her index and middle fingers together and said, "Good night, drive safely."
Ling Yi did this to remind the overly naive Director Xiang not to get distracted and to pay attention to traffic safety.
But in Director Xiang's mind, there was only one thought.
Those fingertips had touched him, caressed and touched between his fingers.
That soft touch still makes his heart flutter.
At that moment, Ling Yi's movement made it seem as if his fingertips were touching her forehead.
Such an action was excessively intimate for Xiang Ke, who was overly distant from others.
Ling Yi swore that she really didn't mean to provoke Xiang Ke this time. After giving her instructions, she turned and left.
"Ling Yi".
After she turned around, Xiang Ke's voice came from behind her. The man opened the car door and stood on the other side of the car, looking at her intently.
