On September 30, the first day of the National Day holiday, Yue Chen and Liu Yingying, who were exhausted both physically and mentally, woke up at three o'clock in the morning.
If Li Kainan and Bai Mengge hadn't made an appointment to be guests in the afternoon, neither of them would have wanted to get up.
After a brief lunch, the two of them started to clean up the room. Liu Yingying, who was slightly germaphobic, took the opportunity to urge Yue Chen to wipe all the corners of the door, switch box, etc., and even waxed the floor tiles.
At three o'clock, Li Kainan finally rang the doorbell. Yue Chen couldn't help but let out a breath, finally no longer having to work.
"Put these tools away quickly and I'll open the door." Liu Yingying threw the mop in her hand to Yue Chen. Yue Chen couldn't help but make a face behind Liu Yingying's back.
"Sister Yingying, is your home so clean? Teacher Yue is so happy." Obviously Li Kainan did not have the right to speak first when Bai Mengge was around.
"The floor tiles are reflective, so they won't be slippery, right?" Li Kainan praised as he changed his shoes.
"Yuechen, you invite them to sit wherever they want, and I'll cut some fruit for them." Liu Yingying turned around and went to the kitchen.
"Brother, your status in the family is good." Li Kainan said enviously.
"I hope you can be like me in the future." Yue Chen said with a playful look.
Yue Chen took out the board game that he had treasured for a long time, and while placing it, he said: "We have been busy for so long. No one of us is allowed to talk about work today. Let's just focus on relaxing for the day!"
"Yes! You two have been too tense these past two days. You need to relax." Li Kainan immediately agreed.
"Okay, how to play this board game?" Bai Mengge was attracted by the large board game in front of him.
"It just so happens that Yingying is back, let me tell you the rules." Yue Chen took the cut fruit plate from Liu Yingying who came over.
"Since everyone has been tired recently, we are playing this board game. It doesn't require any thinking. It's a game based entirely on luck." Yue Chen first set the tone for the game.
"This game is similar to a combined version of Ludo and Monopoly. You have to roll the dice first, and then you can drive your car out of the garage when you roll 6. The tax bureau's car can collect taxes from shops along the way, and the power supply bureau's car can
The electricity bills of residential buildings are levied. The remaining two cars are taxis. You have to pay parking fees wherever you go. The basic land price of each place is marked. We will introduce other functional cards while playing."
Yue Chen briefly introduced the rules of the game.
"I want blue!"
"Then I want green!"
"The red color belongs to me, and the yellow color is for you." The four of them quickly entered the game state.
Sure enough, as Yue Chen said, this is a pure luck game, but this kind of mindless game made the four young people forget about the busy work and temporarily lose their worries at work.
"6! 6! 6!..." Yue Chen shouted loudly, looking forward to seeing a taxi come out again.
"Oops! Why did I end up in a random event again?" Bai Mengge smiled bitterly, because this was where she drew one of the worst cards just now.
"Try your luck again, maybe it will be a good thing." Li Kainan consoled him.
"Do you understand Murphy's Law? It's definitely not a good thing." Bai Mengge reluctantly took a card from the deck.
"What is it?" Yue Chen asked curiously.
"I received negative reviews from passengers and my service score dropped. I will have to pay three times the parking fee for the next five rounds." Liu Yingying leaned over and read out the content of the card.
"I just said it wouldn't be a good thing!" Bai Mengge pouted.
"It doesn't matter, maybe you won't need to pay parking fees for the next five rounds." Liu Yingying couldn't help laughing.
About half an hour later, Bai Mengge was indeed unlucky and became the first player to go bankrupt.
"It's really bad luck today!" Bai Mengge said with an angry expression.
"Then you play with me." Li Kainan put the dice in his hand into Bai Mengge's hand.
"I don't want to play with you, the green car is too ugly." Bai Mengge threw the dice back to Li Kainan.
"It's getting late, let's stop playing here today, we're going to get ready for dinner." Liu Yingying tried to smooth things over.
"Yes, it's already past six o'clock. Aren't you hungry?" Yue Chen quickly agreed.
"What shall we eat today?" Li Kainan was a little embarrassed.
"Let's have something simple today, hot pot. The ingredients have been prepared for a long time. Now we just need to prepare the base to start the meal!" Yue Chen said as he stood up.
"Then you go prepare the food and I'll clear the table." Liu Yingying also stood up and inadvertently patted the somewhat depressed Bai Mengge.
As the food entered his abdominal cavity, Bai Mengge's mood gradually improved. He started talking and laughing with everyone again, and Li Kainan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Mengge's situation had just improved, but at some point, Yue Chen fell into silence again.
"What's wrong with you? Are you tired after eating?" Liu Yingying touched Yue Chen who was in a daze.
"The last thing Xiaobai drew just now was a taxi bad review card?" Yue Chen came back to his senses and said.
"Why don't you open a certain pot?" Liu Yingying was very surprised. Such words without emotional intelligence should never appear in Yue Chen's mouth.
"Oh, no, I mean this is a good card." Yue Chen said without any end.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Liu Yingying's face turned a little ugly.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became awkward. Bai Mengge wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak, so he had to poke Li Kainan.
But Li Kainan is much calmer, because he believes that Yue Chen will never make a mistake.
"What was the biggest problem you had with surveillance before?" Yue Chen didn't seem to care about Liu Yingying's mood and asked.
"Isn't it because his car was so mobile that it would be difficult to determine when they moved the body through investigation?" Liu Yingying was a little impatient.
"If one day there is a corpse in his car, will it affect the passenger's riding experience?" Yue Chen finally said the key point.
After hearing this, Liu Yingying and Bai Mengge suddenly realized that what Yue Chen said was that they could try to narrow down the scope of investigation by checking passenger reviews.
"Teacher Yue is really a good teacher." Li Kainan commented.
"Why?" Bai Mengge didn't know why Li Kainan came to this conclusion.
"Because Teacher Yue never says anything directly, she always uses a heuristic education method." Li Kainan joked.
"That makes sense, that makes sense. I'll check with Brother Xiaozhi now." Liu Yingying immediately put down her chopsticks and picked up her phone.
"Okay, the happy time is coming to an end, and Officer Liu has to start working hard again." Yue Chen made a helpless expression.
"It's not like you ruined their National Day holiday." Li Kainan knew that Yue Chen was just complaining, but he also hoped to solve the case as soon as possible.
