Chapter 69 Time is running out

"What...what is this?" Li Huan asked.

Doctor Zhang lowered his head: "If you are still the kind girl you are now, then this card will mean nothing. But if you become like me, then this card may be your last straw."

"I didn't understand..." Li Huan said.

"I sincerely hope that you will never understand this in your life." From the shadow of the back seat of the car, Dr. Zhang's voice came: "Then, goodbye."

These were Dr. Zhang's last words. After that, there was no more communication.

The police car started slowly, and in the night, a line of lights gradually faded away until they disappeared.

Li Huan turned around and looked at Zhou Yan behind him... their eyes met.

"Have you had enough trouble?" Zhou Yan asked with a wry smile.

"Thank you." Li Huan said, but she didn't know what she was thanking for.

It was probably to thank Zhou Yan for intervening in this case, maybe to thank Zhou Yan for caring about him so much, or even just to thank Zhou Yan for allowing him to run around the crime scene, following him to chase the police car, and allowing him to hand over those diaries to Detective Liu.

.

Zhou Yan shook his head: "Don't thank me. No matter what you say, you are still my landlord. You know, living in such a good apartment costs a lot of money."

"Yeah." Li Huan smiled and nodded. She had already noticed that the person in front of her always liked to leave himself clean after doing something for others, as if his kindness was not

Do it intentionally.

She didn't know why Zhou Yan had such a habit, but it didn't matter.

Immediately, Li Huan lowered his head again and looked at the card.

"What is this?" Zhou Yan asked.

"I don't know either." Li Huan said, "Dr. Zhang said I might not need it."

"Then throw it away."

"I want to keep it..."

"As you wish~"

The two of them just talked without saying a word.

There is little traffic on the road.

Because of this sudden case, Zhou Yan and Li Huan were delayed for several hours.

At this time, it was already midnight, and the temperature difference between morning and evening made the two of them speed up their pace unconsciously.

The street was so quiet that the passing of a life did not have any impact on the world.

The two of them were silent all the way in the night.

Only Li Huan looked at the card in his hand from time to time.

Unconsciously, I returned home. Then, I dragged my tired body and fell asleep.

...

The next day, Zhou Yan felt dizzy when he got up.

Although it was only one night, he felt like a week had passed.

If it weren't for the second day of work, he would have asked for leave.

Well, come to think of it, whoever works part-time wants to take leave every day, but no one dares to live with their own salary.

Zhou Yan got up, washed briefly, then boarded the early morning bus and headed to Linxi's detective agency.

"Good morning~"

With dark circles under his eyes, Zhou Yan weakly pushed open the office door.

As soon as he pushed it open, Zhou Yan immediately smelled the smell of coffee.

"Ahem~" He coughed twice: "Are these roasted coffee beans?"

But before he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and saw a man standing in front of Lin Xi's desk.

Suit, medium height.

"Does it have to be tomorrow?" Lin Xi asked.

"Yes, it must be tomorrow." The man nodded.

"What if I don't go?" Lin Xi's tone was helpless.

"You are a detective. You should know better than me about this kind of thing."

The man's voice was unhurried.

Lin Xi rubbed her temples: "Okay, I understand, please leave now."

"OK."

The man bowed slightly, turned around, missed Zhou Yan's body, opened the door and left.

Zhou Yan saw his face. His eyes were small and nothing special.

"Who is this person?" Zhou Yan asked a little confused.

"Just a lawyer passing on a message." Lin Xi's voice revealed a hint of fatigue.

"Um..." Zhou Yan felt that things were not simple: "What happened?"

"Tomorrow, I'm going to the court. It's about Chen Hao's case. My testimony needs to be checked."

"Ah?!" Zhou Yan was shocked when he heard this: "Tomorrow?! Can't we change the day?"

He asked the same question as Lin Xi.

It's not surprising that he was panicking, because Lin Xi's exam only lasted for three days, and yesterday had already passed. If he had to do these troublesome things tomorrow, there would be almost no time left for Lin Xi's exam.

"You heard it too, no." Lin Xi said without raising his head: "Actually, I have already thought of it, this was done by someone in the building opposite.

They knew that I was going to open a detective agency, so they deliberately came to disgust me!"

"Hiss... this is too despicable." Zhou Yan couldn't help but cursed: "You have already resigned, what else do they want? And such a big detective group, why do you have to come here to disgust a company?

It’s a small office that doesn’t even have a brand on it.”

"The higher-ups will definitely not do it, but it's not necessarily true for some of the guys below who have no brains." Lin Xi sighed, picked up the coffee cup next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Anyway, I have to go tomorrow. If I don't go, someone will definitely use this as a reason. Then it will be even more troublesome."

"Then... what about the exam?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Desperately."

Lin Xi didn't say anything more, but simply left these two words.

But Zhou Yan was shocked when he heard it.

Then, Lin Xi took a few deep breaths and devoted herself to her exam.

Zhou Yan looked at the woman in front of him. In fact... with her appearance, anything she could do would be much better than running a detective agency.

However, she still resolutely embarked on this path.

Thinking about it this way, isn't that girl Li Huan the same, insisting on writing mystery novels?

Ha, it seems that the women in this world all have the temperament to compete with the whole world.

In this atmosphere, Zhou Yan did not dare to waste any more time. He quickly turned his thoughts to his set of extra-point questions.

This is the simplest and most effective way he can help Lin Xi at this stage.

an hour...

Two hours...

When people devote themselves wholeheartedly to something, they are almost completely unaware of the existence of time.

Early morning, dusk, until late at night...

I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Yan even forgot whether he had eaten today.

Finally, he finished answering the last question.

I shook my sore neck with difficulty and felt that my whole body was hollowed out.

"How are you doing over there?" he asked.
