"Ding ring ring..."
In the dark room, the mobile phone placed on the bedside suddenly lit up, and then rang a very loud ringtone.
"Uh..."
Lin Li, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, opened his eyes. He took his hand out of the quilt and touched the bedside table.
A string of unfamiliar phone numbers appeared on the screen. Lin Li glanced at it and clicked on the screen to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Hello, sir, our company has recently launched personal accident insurance. Do you need it?"
"..." A pleasant voice came from the mobile phone. Although this The salesman who called to sell insurance had a nice voice, but Lin Li was in a state of being woken up.
After a second of silence, Lin Li resisted the urge to scold the other person, then hung up the phone and added him to the blacklist.
Putting the phone back on the bedside table, Lin Li pulled the quilt to cover himself.
Just as he was about to sleep for a while, the doorbell at home rang.
It's better now. I was disturbed twice in a row, and most of my sleepiness disappeared, and I basically couldn't sleep.
Lin Li lifted up the quilt and got out of bed, came to the door and opened it.
Xia Qing had her hair tied up and was wearing an apron with floral prints. With a gentle smile on her face, she looked at the sleepy Lin Li and said, "Were you just sleeping?"
"Yes." Lin Li nodded, and then his eyes fell on the plate held by Xia Qing.
"Tongtong said she wanted to eat wontons on the way to school in the morning, so I started to make some..."
Lin Li thanked Xia Qing with a smile, reached out to take the plate from the other person's hand, then turned and left.
Xia Qing stood at the door and waited for a moment. When Lin Li came back with an empty plate, she found that the other party was also carrying a black plastic bag in his hand.
"Here..."
Lin Li handed the empty plate and plastic bag to Xia Qing, and said with a smile, "There are some strawberries in the bag, they are quite fresh, take them back and try them. .”
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome, it's just some strawberries. I usually eat the things you give me."
Xia Qing turned around and left. After returning home, she opened the black In the plastic bag, strawberries of large size and bright color come into view.
These strawberries are grown by Lin Li himself. The quality of the strawberries produced on the mysterious island is better than all the strawberries on the market.
Xia Qing washed a few and tasted them, and was immediately amazed by the taste of the strawberries given by Lin Li.
The cell phone placed on the sofa suddenly rang, and Xia Qing quickly walked out of the kitchen carrying the fruit plate.
The fruit plate was placed on the coffee table. Xia Qing picked up the ringing mobile phone on the sofa.
"..."
The name displayed on the screen made Xia Qing frown. The joyful mood she had just felt from eating strawberries disappeared in an instant.
“Hello?”
"Xia Qing! Are you busy?"
Xia Qing listened to Wang Haiyan's enthusiastic voice and responded expressionlessly, "Sister-in-law, why did you call me?"
"Uh..." Wang Haiyan wanted to chat with Xia Qing for a while, but when she saw the other party's direct question, she was speechless and didn't know how to speak.
"If nothing happens, hang up. I have other things to do!" Xia Qing said simply before hanging up the phone.
"Don't hang up the phone, I have something to tell you." Wang Haiyan saw Xia Qing was about to hang up the phone and shouted quickly, with a very urgent tone.
Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Xia Qing heard the other party say this, with a true expression on her face.
"What's the matter?" Xia Qing asked.
"Well...I want to borrow some money from you." Wang Haiyan said softly.
Xia Qing responded coldly, "Didn't I just lend you tens of thousands of dollars a few days ago because of Zhou Qiang's work? Why do I need to borrow money again now?"
Wang Haiyan There was silence for a while, and then angrily confessed to Xia Qing, "Zhou Qiang was cheated."
"What?" Xia Qing was stunned for a moment. She thought there was something wrong with her ears, so she quickly asked, "Say it again."
"Zhou Qiang was cheated. He paid the money the next day When I went to work in that company, everyone in the company disappeared..." Wang Haiyan said.
Xia Qing's chest rose and fell violently, "What did I tell you then? There's no reason why you have to pay money first to go to work in a company, and you have to have so much sex at once..."
"Zhou Qiang swore to me that it was no problem at that time. Who would have thought that those people would be liars, and it was not just Zhou Qiang who was deceived, but several people were also deceived..." Wang Haiyan said angrily.
Xia Qing was so angry that her chest hurt. It was not that she felt sorry for the tens of thousands of dollars, but that she was angered by the other party's continuous stupidity.
Wang Haiyan explained the reason for borrowing money, "After Zhou Qiang was deceived, he went to the introducer and wanted to get the money he had defrauded back.
But the introducer was also deceived and could not get the money. Zhou Qiang became angry. He beat him up and is now being held in the Public Security Bureau and needs some money. Bail.
You also know the financial situation of my family, so I want to borrow money from you to bail Zhou Qiang out..."
"Huh..." Xia Qing raised her hand and rubbed it. He rubbed his aching chest, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.
After calming down for a moment, she asked how much money the bail would cost.
"Twelve thousand yuan."
"Okay, that's it, I'll transfer the money to you later..."
"Thank you, Xia Qing, thank you so much, In the future, I will ask Zhou Qiang to remember more and not trust others easily."
Xia Qing hung up the phone and immediately transferred twelve thousand yuan to Wang Haiyan.
“Alas...”
A long sigh sounded in the quiet living room. Xia Qing threw her cell phone aside, leaning against the sofa and staring at the ceiling in a daze.
…………
At the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, two figures walked out of the Public Security Bureau one after the other.
Zhou Qiang lowered his head and followed Wang Haiyan. A few days ago, he was very proud of having found a decent job. He never thought that he would be like this.
Wang Haiyan stopped and turned to look at the dejected Zhou Qiang. She wanted to curse a few words, but seeing his dejected look, she couldn't bear it.
"Mom, I'm sorry." Zhou Qiang said softly.
Wang Haiyan comforted, "You should be more careful in the future!"
"..." Zhou Qiang nodded silently. He was deceived so miserably this time that he could say that he had lost his memory. It's profound. If he encounters this kind of thing again in the future, and if he can still be fooled, then he can find a place to kill him with a piece of frozen tofu.
"Your aunt is very disappointed this time. It will be even more difficult to ask her for help in the future." Wang Haiyan said depressedly.
“She is so rich, the little money I was defrauded is nothing to her.” Zhou Qiang said.
"Although this is the case, if she is determined not to help us, there is nothing we can do..." Wang Haiyan said.
Although she is thick-skinned, she has troubled Xia Qing over and over again, and she also knows that if she continues to do so, she will completely exhaust the other person's kindness.
"Mom, if we build a good relationship with Zhou Tongtong, let her say good things to us!" Zhou Qiang had an idea and made a suggestion. "This is a good idea..." Wang Haiyan nodded and said with appreciation.
The two people walked away into the distance while chatting, and disappeared after a while.
…………
“Woo…”
The range hood made a slight sound. Lin Li saw the water in the pot boiling. He picked up the plate and put down the wontons that Xia Qing had brought. pot.
The wontons have thin skin and lots of fillings, so they are cooked in just a short time after being placed in the pot.
Lin Li took out a large bowl from the cupboard, turned off the gas stove and range hood, and scooped up all the wontons in the pot.
Add salt, MSG, some dried shrimps and seaweed, add some sesame oil, and finally sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions, and a bowl of fragrant wontons is ready to serve.
Lin Li came to the restaurant and sat down, picked up a spoon, scooped out a steaming wonton, blew on it, and then took a bite.
The fresh meat wontons were very delicious, and Lin Li started enjoying his lunch.
“Ding dong.”
The mobile phone placed on the table rang. Lin Li picked it up and found that it was a message from Liu Jialin.
"The USB flash drive you gave me this morning has been handed over to my colleagues who specialize in handling this kind of cases, and they have begun to deal with it."
After reading the message sent by Liu Jialin, Lin Li moved his fingers quickly on the screen moved and replied, "The evidence is complete, there should be results soon!"
Liu Jialin stood up and left the office, and was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch. When she saw Lin Li's reply, her steps slowed down slightly. slow.
"Yes, this time the evidence is so sufficient. After completing the process, the results will be available within a week at the latest."
After chatting for a few words, Liu Jialin put away her phone, and Zhang Xiao stood by He asked, "Captain, are you sending a message to Lin Li?"
"Yes." Liu Jialin nodded, "I told him about the USB flash drive."
Zhang Xiao sighed, "Thanks to him, we were able to solve an underground smuggling organization so quickly."
"Yes!" Liu Jialin said with a smile.
"Captain, do you know about the failure of Luda's mission yesterday?" Zhang Xiao changed the topic.
"He failed the mission?" Liu Jialin was very surprised when she heard this, and then she said doubtfully.
"Lin Li performed that mission with him yesterday. When I met him in the morning, he didn't mention it to me."
"Maybe the mission last night didn't mean that nothing was achieved, so he didn't feel that the mission failed... ..." Zhang Xiao said.
Liu Jialin nodded slightly, and then asked, "Tell me the specific situation."
Zhang Xiao quickly told what he learned. When he learned that it was because of the person who could The mysterious practitioner who used the white mist power intervened, which caused the mission to fail. Liu Jialin couldn't help but frown.
“We have to find a way to control that mysterious practitioner. If we continue to let her do whatever she wants, she may cause big trouble in the future.”
Zhang Xiao nodded in agreement, "Yes! But now the bureau is short of manpower. We need to wait for Wang Jing and others to come back from the spirit world before making plans."

< br>Rongxi Primary School, teacher’s office.
Su Yue returned to the office after lunch in the cafeteria, pulled out a chair and sat down.
She picked up the water glass on the table and prepared to drink some water. She found that the glass was empty, so she got up and went to the corner of the office to pour water.
"Wow, so many birds."
A exclamation sounded outside the office.
Su Yue just took a sip of water, heard a sound outside the office, and walked out immediately.
A large flock of birds appeared in the sky above the school, and the sound of chirping was endless.
Although residents in the city can see flocks of birds flying through the sky from time to time, they can only be seen in the early morning or evening.
It was now noon, and the flock of birds seen in front of me was extremely large, at least ten times larger than the flocks of birds we usually see.
Thousands of birds are flying in the sky. Such a large scale is very conspicuous.
In the school, students and teachers either stood in the corridor or came to the playground, raising their heads and looking at the flocks of birds circling and singing in the sky.
Outside the school, passers-by who saw the flock of birds stopped to watch. The vehicles on the street also stopped. Drivers rolled down their windows to see this rare scene in front of them.
Wearing a school uniform, Zhou Tongtong raised her head and looked at the birds circling and singing in the sky. A pale golden light flashed in the depths of her black and shiny eyes, and she murmured quietly.
“What are they afraid of?”
…………
After finishing lunch and washing the dishes, Lin Li went to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
I didn’t sleep all night last night. I got up early and went home and then slept.
Although I didn’t sleep for a long time, I didn’t feel sleepy yet.
Turning on the news channel to watch the news, Lin Li took the fruit plate, picked up the strawberries and put them in his mouth.
After eating a few fresh and sweet strawberries, Lin Li's eyes were attracted by the news being reported on TV.
“According to the latest news received by this station, a large group of birds appeared in the sky above Rongxi Primary School in East District.
For some unknown reason, such a large group of birds circled and sang in the sky for ten I just left in a few minutes..."
The beautiful news host reported what happened not long ago, and the director played the scene at that time. The audience in front of the TV was all surprised.
Lin Li watched the news on TV, swallowed the strawberry in his mouth, and thought for a while. He picked up the mobile phone placed aside, opened the social software, and sent a message to Su Yue.
"I just watched the news, saying that a large flock of birds appeared over your school."
Not long after the message was sent, Su Yue received a reply.
"I didn't expect it to be on the news so soon. The flock of birds that appeared over our school was very large, with at least two to three thousand in number."
Lin Li listened to the message from Su Yue. He thought about the voice message and said, "This phenomenon is a bit abnormal. The Superpower Management Bureau should send investigators to investigate later."
"They are all ordinary birds, there is nothing to investigate, right?" Su Yue leaned back on the office chair, put down the water glass in her hand, and sent a voice message.
At this moment, the other teachers in the office were all talking about the scene that just happened.
“It’s always right to be careful. For safety reasons, the Superpower Management Bureau must send someone to investigate before you can rest assured.
If you don’t believe it, just wait and see, before three o’clock in the afternoon at the latest , there will definitely be investigators coming to your school..." Lin Li guessed.
As soon as Su Yue finished listening to the voice message sent by Lin Li, she heard her colleague shouting, "The investigators are here."
The teachers in the office got up and went outside. Everyone saw a police car with the logo of the Superpower Administration entering the school. After the car parked, two investigators got out of the car.
"You really guessed it right." Su Yue sent a voice message to Lin Li, then got up and left the office.
She stood in the crowd and looked into the distance, and saw two investigators getting off the car, one of whom was holding a black disc in his hand.
