Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 34 Returning Home, Cai Qinglian Visits
September departs, carrying with it the lingering heat of summer.

During the holiday in early October, Cheng Jue was unable to go home due to a closed training camp.

Su Miaoyi caught a cold for a few days at the beginning of the month and didn't go back.

So I'm thinking of going back in mid-October.

On the evening before she was to go home, Su Miaoyi stood in front of the mall handing out flyers.

Turning around, she saw Zhuang Yanzheng striding towards her.

He was wearing a suit and tie.

She hadn't seen Cai Xi for a while since the last case ended.
Looking at him now, Su Miaoyi suddenly realized something.

If a person has a good face and a good figure, there are no restrictions on their clothing style.

They look good no matter what.

She made a decision: tonight, when she got home, she would make the male protagonist of her novel dress like that too.

Just then, Zhuang Yanzheng walked up to her.

Su Miaoyi blurted out, "Are you getting married today?"

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at his clothes and replied, "It's my 80th birthday."

Su Miaoyi looked at his face: "You look quite young."

Zhuang Yanzheng chuckled, looking at the flyer in her hand: "Found a job?"

Su Miaoyi handed him two flyers: "You won't come for nothing, take two."

Zhuang Yanzheng took it and looked at it: "Fighting Muay Thai Club?"

Su Miaoyi nodded.

"You've come here to work?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Su Miaoyi: "No, I signed up for a few classes. I'll help hand out some flyers and get one class for free."

"How long have you been up?" Zhuang Yanzheng glanced at her.

"It's been almost a month, hasn't it?" Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng chuckled: "How does it feel? Do you think it's useful?"

"I don't know," Su Miaoyi shook her head.

She really doesn't know.

Anyway, I feel more at ease coming to class than doing anything else.

She would take a break whenever she wanted to.

There was a voice in my head that kept cursing her.

With your arms and legs like this, someone could easily break them with a little force. How dare you be so lazy and not move?

Your body is useless right now; it only holds you back.

Now that you're resting, what will you do to deal with him the next time you see him?

Whenever she rests, these sounds start to emerge.

I feel like if I rest for even one more minute, I'll just die.

Only by taking action can one feel at ease.

The frequency of nightmares at night will also decrease.

"Boss Zhuang, how about buying a few lessons?" Su Miaoyi suddenly tried to sell him a lesson. "Your job, right? It's easy to have dangerous encounters with criminals. Having more skills means more safety. It's always good to have more skills. Don't you agree?"

"What? Will he give you a commission if I buy it?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Whether he takes a commission or not, he'll definitely have to give me a few free lessons." Su Miaoyi felt a pang of heartache when she thought about the tuition fees.

"I'm not buying it." Zhuang Yanzheng handed the flyer back to her. "I'm afraid if I go, the coach will feel so inferior that he'll lose his job."

Su Miaoyi looked at him: "."

She handed him a few more flyers: "If you're not buying, could you throw these away for me? Throw them far away, please."

Zhuang Yanzheng took it: "Give me a few more, and I'll ask my parents to throw some away for you too."

Su Miaoyi gave him a few more.

“There’s a family gathering, so I came to buy gifts,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Here to celebrate your 80th birthday?"

Zhuang Yanzheng clicked his tongue.

Su Miaoyi laughed.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her and said, "There are only a few left. Ask everyone to help throw them away so we can go home as soon as possible."

"Mm." Su Miaoyi nodded.

Zhuang Yanzheng went into the mall, and when he came out again, Su Miaoyi had already left.

He glanced at the desserts he was carrying. He was walking quite fast.

The next day, Su Miaoyi returned to the old town.

I plan to stay at home for a week.

For the first five days, everything was calm and peaceful.

I get up in the morning and go for a run first, then go to the stall with my uncle and aunt.

I'll go back and write my novel this afternoon, go to bed early tonight, and get up early the next day.

After signing up for a Muay Thai class, Su Miaoyi adjusted her sleep schedule.

The peace was shattered on the sixth day.

The three of them ate dinner together and chatted that evening.

The cat kept its distance from Su Miaoyi.

Ge Yu looked at Su Miaoyi: "Miaomiao, I remember you don't eat green peppers."

Su Miaoyi looked at the half-eaten green pepper she had eaten: "Yeah. I don't even know when I started eating it."

Cheng Yong laughed and said, "People's tastes change. You didn't eat cilantro before, but you do now."

He looked at Ge Yu.

Ge Yu nodded: "That's true. I love eating cilantro now."

"Eat whatever you want." Cheng Yong moved the green peppers next to him toward Su Miaoyi. "What you want to eat means your body needs it, so eat more."

"Okay," Su Miaoyi replied.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

The banging was very loud.

Su Miaoyi looked towards the door, preparing to get up and open it.

Ge Yu quickly pulled her back: "Miaomiao."

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

Ge Yu said, "They should be looking for your uncle. Let them talk outside, and we'll go back to our room first."

“Yes, you guys go back to your rooms first.” Cheng Yong got up to open the door.

Ge Yu pulled Su Miaoyi to the bedroom.

Su Miaoyi sensed something was wrong, so she listened to the sounds outside.

"She has come back?"

Cheng Yong looked at the three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table: "My son is back. He went for a walk with his mother. I was just about to clean up."

"You've raised an ungrateful child! You don't even know where she lives outside, and she hasn't come back to see you in all this time."

“The children are all busy,” Cheng Yong said.

Su Miaoyi listened from the bedroom.

It was Cai Qinglian's voice.

She opened the door and was about to leave when Ge Yu stopped her and whispered, "Miaomiao, let your uncle handle it. She'll be gone in a bit."

"Is this not her first time here?" Su Miaoyi asked, looking at Ge Yu.

Ge Yu's eyes flickered: "Let your uncle handle it."

Su Miaoyi patted Ge Yu's hand to reassure her.

She opened the door and went out.

"You really are here!" Cai Qinglian saw her and stepped forward to hit her.

Cheng Yong immediately stepped in front of Su Miaoyi: "What are you doing!"

His shout silenced Cai Qinglian.

Su Miaoyi squeezed Cheng Yong's arm, then looked at Cai Qinglian: "What do you want with me?"

Cai Qinglian abandoned her plan to take action and looked at Cheng Yong and Ge Yu: "I want to talk to you alone."

"No, say it here." Cheng Yong was worried that Cai Qinglian would bully her.

"What right do you have to say no? Who do you think you are?" Cai Qinglian looked at him.

Cheng Yong fell silent.

Su Miaoyi sat down in the chair: "And who do you think you are? Coming here and shouting? Don't you even know basic manners in someone else's house? My uncle said no, and that's final. Either you stay here and say it, or you leave right now and never say it again."

"Su Miaoyi!" Cai Qinglian shouted.

Su Miaoyi took out her phone and placed it on the table: "Say it again, and I'll call the police to arrest you right away. The Ji family's wife is ungrateful for causing a scene at her eldest daughter's adoptive parents' house and has been arrested. I bet a lot of people in Jinghai would be happy to see news like this, right? The Ji family's rivals must be laughing in their sleep after seeing this news, right?"
