A fast shadow jumped over the hood of the car on the left side. Before he could react, Qin Man's feet fell and he was intercepted by someone. He took several steps back and pressed against the car door before stopping.
.
The man's arms were across her waist, he was panting slightly, and the heat rushed to her face.
"Don't want to die?"
His tone was neither angry nor scolding, like he was lecturing a frightened sheep. There was more worry in his condemnation.
Qin Man's attention was still on the burning man. He just turned his head and was forced back by him.
"look at me."
Their eyes met, and his dark gray pupils reflected her current appearance, confused and crazy, like a ghost crawling back from hell, a walking corpse with a locked soul.
Qin Man lowered his head in shame and pressed his forehead against his chest. Tremors continued to spread all over his body. The corners of his eyes were sore. Those false illusions finally collapsed.
A dog cannot spit out ivory, just like it is impossible to hear an apology or thank you from Qin Man's mouth.
She just lightly apologized and thanked her.
"Excuse me."
He had already said hello, but the hand in front of him still didn't loosen. This time, Qin Man's eyes became sharp again, and he quickly killed him.
"Can you let go?"
When she looked over, she realized that this man looked familiar.
His facial features are straight, his eyes are deep and steady, his lips are thin and slightly tilted, and his smooth jawline looks like the product of a 3D modeling by a game master. His temperament is soft yet strong, and he also has an unexplained sense of justice.
Qin Man somewhat recognized this person. He was the captain of the city's criminal investigation team, her future boss--Jiang Lian.
This photo is much inferior to the real person.
He loosened the restraints around his waist, but still had no intention of letting her go.
At this time, someone came running over.
"Captain Jiang!"
Qin Man's eyes flashed slightly, and he was making secret calculations in his heart.
It's really not good to have your immediate boss realize that you are sick before you even report for work...
She didn't show anything on her face, but when she glanced over, she felt like he saw something.
Jiang Lian: "Keep an eye on her."
Qin Man was furious in his heart, but he could not let others down with his words and his momentum could not be lost.
"May I ask Captain Jiang, what mistake did I make?"
Jiang Lian paused, but looked back with the same calm and steady expression.
"you know me?"
Qin Man was too lazy to lean against the car.
"Didn't we just meet each other?"
Qin Man could clearly see him being slightly deflated after hearing these words. It was very light and subtle, but it couldn't escape her eyes.
She was a little strange. She clearly felt that he was a little disappointed.
Jiang Lianru said softly, "Take good care of yourself."
He turned back and was busy maintaining order at the scene, evacuating the crowd, and contacting first aid and firefighting.
Then Qin Man felt a coolness on her wrist, and with a "click", the silly boy who was asked to look at her cuffed her neatly and spoke plausibly.
"I am temporarily arresting you for obstructing official duties. Please cooperate."
Then he led her to the side of the road like a dog for a walk, and handcuffed the other end to the metal guardrail. Everything was fine, and she was able to keep up with Jiang Lian's pace and go to help him.
Qin Man was messy in the wind.
"..."
The driver found that the people in the car were missing and ran around in various gaps, looking for people everywhere like crazy.
"Ancestor, why did you run out? Who did you offend? Why are you still handcuffed? Wait a minute. I'll call Minister Xu."
Qin Man stopped him, "He's masturbating, don't disturb him."
A gust of wind blew by, and the driver was stunned and a little suffocated.
Qin Man: "It's such a small thing to bother him. Lao Xu is very busy. Just bring me my things in the car and tell me the address. I'll find it myself."
The driver hesitated and did not move, Qin Man raised his head.
"How about you find me a hacksaw? Let me see if I can cut it open?"
Comparing these two solutions together, the difference was immediately obvious. The driver immediately went to get the things, told her her address, and waited with her for a while. Finally, he was called away by other things and left first with great reluctance. In fact,
Fortunately, this errand is over.
An hour later, fire and emergency personnel blocked the entire street, and the fire was basically extinguished. Property damage and casualties are being counted.
News about a violent explosion on the second floor of Edsa Hotel spread across major information platforms. Wave after wave of reporters stood outside the cordon, with alternating red and blue lights, scrambling to report on the incident.
Accident.
Qin Man held up one hand and sat on the edge of the curb, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth as a cigarette.
A woman was handcuffed on the roadside. Everyone who passed by had to look at her twice, then cover her mouth and mumble a few words.
Before officially reporting in, I was already given a yellow card by the captain and was handcuffed and paraded on the side of the road. What a shame!
"Who handcuffed you here?"
A bottle of water was suddenly handed to her. Qin Man looked up and saw Jiang Lian standing in front of him. His coat was missing, his shirt cufflinks were casually rolled up to the crook of his arms, and the exposed skin was stained with black and gray.
She reluctantly took it. She wanted the cigarette more than the water.
Jiang Lian freed his hands and immediately untied her. Qin Man retracted her hands and rubbed her wrists.
Jiang Lian stood in front of her and drank most of the bottle in one breath.
"Why, the pure water still doesn't taste good?"
Qin Man said dullly, "No."
Jiang Lian looked at the time.
"How do you get home? Do you have a car?"
Qin Man shook his head.
Jiang Lian: "Then I'll give it to you."
Qin Man simply handed over the brown paper bag containing the registration letter.
"Either you take me to the city bureau on the way. I don't want to leave today's affairs until tomorrow."
Jiang Lian knew what she was talking about without even opening it.
"Now? The human resources department is off work."
Qin Man understood. Sure enough, Jiang Lian also recognized her.
Both of them understood it in their hearts and pretended to be confused without revealing it.
Qin Man took back his things and tried his best to save his face.
"Then let's get to know each other again tomorrow."
Jiang Lian was very considerate and responded with a smile.
"good."
Qin Man was about to pat his butt and leave when someone else came running towards him.
"Captain Jiang, I finally found you."
The security policeman in charge of order at the scene jogged all the way, and when he saw Qin Man's unfamiliar face, he was hesitating whether to continue talking.
Jiang Lian: "As a member of my own family, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Captain Jiang, hurry up and take a look. Something happened. Four people died. They were all burned to charcoal. It's very suspicious."
Jiang Lian immediately followed him. Qin Man heard their conversation and suddenly turned around and asked.
"Can I come along and have a look?"
Jiang Lian hesitated, "Are you okay?"
He was either worried that she couldn't bear the close contact with corpses, or he was worried that she would be in the same situation as before, inducing a stress reaction in her.
No one thinks highly of her anyway.
Qin Man looked angry.
"completely fine."
Jiang Lian thought for a while and finally nodded. This chapter has been completed!
