7. Liver and blood ([-])

It was only after getting in the car that Ling Yuan remembered and asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Xunran was still immersed in the grief and indignation that his car was injured, and he replied listlessly: "Go home."

Ling Yuan felt guilty, a little bit unable to react, so he didn't say anything.Then he suddenly realized what Li Xunran was talking about.

When going back, Li Xunran opened the door.

He was a little embarrassed, and he was looking forward to Ling Yuan's reaction.As a result, Ling Yuan looked around and said with a smile: "I was worried about the hygiene habits of single male police officers at first, but it seems that I worried too much."

Li Xunran was so busy these days that he didn't touch anything except sleeping. What was the room like when Ling Yuan left, and how it was when he came back. Of course, there is no need to worry about hygiene.

It's just that when he mentioned it, Li Xunran remembered that he couldn't get away from work these few days, and he had to clean up the dormitory and move to Ling Yuan's house. The time for eating and sleeping was reluctant to be compressed, so he had to sacrifice his life. Sanitation time.He hasn't taken a shower for two or three days. When he was at the police station just now, Jian Yao tactfully and unceremoniously disliked him. He lifted up his sleeve and smelled it, and it seemed to be a mixture of oil, smoke, sweat and so on. No smell.Li Xunran was a little ashamed. Although he is also a single old man, the essential difference between him and a rough guy like Ouyang Lin is that he has face, so when he drove back just now, he was a little shy, and he refused to be blown all the way. Close the windows.

So now the choice he faces is, eat first or take a bath first?

Ling Yuan was really tired.He sat on the sofa, rubbed his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and became lazy all of a sudden.

Dean Ling is usually vigorous and resolute like a cheetah, but when he is at home, he is docile like a cat.

Li Xunran thought, forget it, let's eat first.

He only knows how to go down, so he asked Ling Yuan: "If you don't dislike it, how about having some noodles to make peace at night?"

Ling Yuan closed his eyes and was not polite to him. He said "um" and added "thank you" after a while.

When he came out with the noodle bowl, Ling Yuan had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Li Xunran didn't know whether to call him or not.Ling Yuan tilted his head, and his sleeping position didn't look very comfortable, but his face was very peaceful, unlike when he was awake, he was always frowning and preoccupied.

Since he can be more relaxed when he falls asleep, it's better to let him sleep a little longer.

The noodle bowl is a bit hot to touch after holding it for a long time.Li Xunran sighed and walked away lightly.

Ling Yuan had a dream.

It was a long time ago when he was in college, he saw Lin Nianchu for the first time.At that time, Lin Nianchu still had long hair, tied into a ponytail and hanging behind his head, revealing a smooth forehead, big and energetic eyes, and looked young and energetic.She came out of the library with Qin Shaobai, a well-known pungent beauty from the medical school. Qin Shaobai recognized Ling Yuan, waved to him, and introduced them to each other.Lin Nianchu extended his hand to Ling Yuan generously and called his name:

"Ling Yuan."

Ling Yuan held her soft hand, thinking to himself, she is so pretty.

"Ling Yuan."

Ling Yuan woke up.

He vaguely saw a figure standing in front of him, against the light.The warm, light yellow light coated this man with a layer of soft edges. One could see round and bright eyes, a smooth forehead, a straight nose bridge, and a sharp chin gathered into a sharp point.

He is so good looking.

Seeing him in a daze, Li Xunran felt amused in his heart, and called out again: "Ling Yuan."

Ling Yuan let out a "hmm", raised his hand to cover his eyes, and asked vaguely, "What time is it?"

Li Xunran looked at the clock: "It's eight o'clock."

After eating and taking a shower, Ling Yuan still hasn't woken up, and he looks like he will sleep until tomorrow morning.But police officer Xiao Li studied his sleeping position and felt that if he indulged him like this, Dean Ling would have to go to work tomorrow with his neck crooked.

Li Xunran fought with man and nature for a while, and finally decided to call Ling Yuan up.

The bowl was already cold, so Ling Yuan took it to the microwave to heat it up once.The noodles that had been soaked for a long time were a bit mushy, but he was very hungry, and he ate them with gusto.

He eats very slowly.Li Xunran first sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone. Later, when he realized his conscience, he ran to the front of the dining table and said embarrassedly: "Hey, I said Ling Yuan, if it really tastes bad, don't eat it. I'll order you a takeaway."

Ling Yuan raised his head and glanced at him.Li Xunran was wearing a loose home T-shirt and slacks, which made him appear to be only a thin piece.

He shook his head first.Also commented: "Too thin."

Inexplicably, Li Xunran felt that he was looking at him like he was looking at the ribs on the chopping board, and he was thinking about whether to braise himself in red, stew or sweet and sour.

Officer Xiao Li shuddered.

Don't be crazy about this man.Poor, poor.

Ling Yuan's bedroom is upstairs, and Li Xunran lives in the guest room on the first floor.The next morning when he came out of the room yawning, Ling Yuan had already gone to work.There was breakfast on the table, toast and fried eggs, and the milk was still warm.

Li Xunran has no habit of eating breakfast at home.Standing in front of the dining table, he hesitated for half a second between being late and wasting Ling Yuan's intentions, and decisively chose the former.

Anyway, he is protected by his own father, so the second generation of officials should look like the second generation of officials.

Most of the migrant workers in this city came from several nearby counties and cities. Ouyang Lin was in charge of keeping in touch with the public security department there to find out the identity information of the deceased.Li Xunran took people to the Beicheng District to investigate and visit key points.He hadn't been there before, but when he got there, he realized that the area was full of small shacks built illegally and rented out to migrant workers.You can sleep in a full bed for 5 yuan a night, and you can have a small private room for 15 yuan without providing any identity information.

These simple but ever-growing cheap rental houses have brought great difficulty to the investigation work.Li Xunran led people to run outside every day, and fell asleep when he was so tired.It wasn't until Ling Yuan called him one day that he realized that he hadn't seen Ling Yuan for several days.

It's funny to say, he and Ling Yuan obviously live under the same roof, but he is busy, and Ling Yuan is even busier.He went back at night, but Ling Yuan hadn't come back yet.When he woke up in the morning, Ling Yuan had already left.Only the breakfast on the table every day proves that there is another person living in the house.

Li Xunran was stunned for a while before picking up the phone.

It turned out that Ling Yuan used his personal relationship to get a list of patients who had undergone liver surgery in the past six months from several hospitals in the city and whose home addresses were in Beicheng District. .There are not too many people who meet these two conditions at the same time. There are dozens of people in total. Ling Yuan made a list and asked Li Xunran if he needed it.

Li Xunran reported an email address and asked him to send the list to Ouyang Lin for verification.Ling Yuan agreed, and there was no sound over there.

He was a little strange and asked, "Xunran? Are you listening?"

Li Xunran's weary voice came from the other end: "Thank you. You have taken the trouble, Ling Yuan."

Just by hearing the voice, he could think of his pitiful appearance, Ling Yuan couldn't help asking: "Are you coming back for dinner tomorrow night?"

Li Xunran worked overtime every night to sort out the case, and had eaten in the police cafeteria for a few days. After thinking about it, he still replied: "Yes, I will return."

Ling Yuan sighed: "I made an appointment for dinner tonight, tomorrow. I'll go back and cook early tomorrow, waiting for you to come back."

Li Xunran responded with a "hmm".Someone called him at the other end, he greeted Ling Yuan and hung up the phone.

After taking two steps, I couldn't help laughing.

It feels good to have someone waiting for you to eat.It's just how his tone sounds like his mother.

When he got off work on time the next night, Ouyang Lin spread out on the desk like a dead dog, and stared at him weakly: "It's shameful to abandon your comrades-in-arms! There is no organization and discipline! I'm going to report you to the Commission for Discipline Inspection!"

Li Xunran gave him a middle finger with a smile: "Go eat dog food!"

At first, he didn't have high expectations for Ling Yuan's cooking skills.Dean Ling is young and handsome, and he is also talented and rich. Such a character is set to be the leading role in any romance novel.But police officer Xiao Li, who has been deeply influenced by Jian Yao and Jian Xuan's reading taste since he was young, has read countless books, and he has never heard of a leading actor who can cook.

However, when Police Officer Li, who was only below, entered the door, he was deeply shocked when he saw the decent three dishes and one soup on the table.

Wearing a plaid apron, Ling Yuan was frying the last dish in the kitchen, when he heard the door knock, he poked his head out: "You wash your hands first and put the rice in, the dish will be ready soon."

When he came out with the last dish, Li Xunran was still in a daze.

Seeing that he was funny, Ling Yuan waved his hand in front of him: "Hey, I've returned to my soul."

Li Xunran looked up at him blankly: "Ling Yuan, you are so nice, how could anyone be willing to let you go?"

He had worked overtime for several days and hadn't slept much. At this time, he was smothered by the aroma of the food, and his mind was dizzy, and he didn't know what he said.It wasn't until seeing Ling Yuan's expression froze that he realized what he had said was extremely stupid, and hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry! I didn't..."

However, Ling Yuan waved his hand casually, and put the plate of fried pork liver on the table: "It doesn't matter. Also, who told you that someone else didn't want me."

Because you can't forget her.I can see it.

But Li Xunran couldn't say it.He could only repeat again: "I'm sorry."

Ling Yuan turned around to get the chopsticks: "It doesn't matter if you say so."

When he came back, Li Xunran still kept his head down and kept silent, like a bad kid who was caught by adults for doing something wrong.Seeing his heart softening, Ling Yuan sighed: "Xunran, I'm actually not as good as you imagined."

He said: "My ex-wife is an amazing woman, but I am not good enough for her. She has been dragged down by me, so one day she said she wanted to leave, and I had no choice but to agree."

Li Xunran looked up at him, Ling Yuan's expression was very calm, neither sad nor angry, as if he was telling someone else's story.

He said softly, "You are not unworthy of anyone."

Ling Yuan handed him the chopsticks: "Thank you—let's eat."

The taste of the food was good, but Li Xunran felt guilty and kept eating the rice.Ling Yuan has seen him eating before, and he can be described as "pious", with a sincere love for food, and his expression makes people feel like eating.Now Ling Yuan sees his smug look, and says helplessly: "Xunran, I'm cooking for you, not feeding pigs."

Li Xunran smiled reluctantly, not in a high mood.

So Ling Yuan decided to change a topic he was interested in: "How is the list I checked for you?"

Only then did Li Xunran regain his energy, but soon became sluggish: "Ouyang sent people to investigate, and found no valuable clues."

Their current investigation work is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and they don't know where the clues are.What's worse, according to Bo Jinyan's deduction, the murderer's emotions are in a very unstable state, and the next victim may appear at any time.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Also, according to what you said, we have conducted a survey of qualified veterinarians throughout the city, and none of them fit the profile."

The food seemed a little tasteless.Li Xunran subconsciously poked the rice grains in the bowl with his chopsticks, upset.Ling Yuan couldn't help with the case, so he had to put a chopstick of vegetables into his bowl: "Eat some pork liver. I see that your complexion has been bad, eat more of this to replenish blood."

Li Xunran wanted to say that he didn't really like eating animal offal, but he could hear Ling Yuan's good intentions, and the words turned around, but he didn't say anything, just nodded, and took a few mouthfuls of rice.

He wanted to scoop up the soup, but he heard Ling Yuan calling him in a complicated tone: "...Xunran."

I saw Ling Yuan looking at the plate of fried pork liver with an indescribable expression on his face: "...I suddenly had a bad idea."

He looked at Li Xunran's puzzled expression, and spoke with difficulty:

"Very bad idea."
