Yi Pin and Qi Mingyang came to the monitoring room. They had already clearly seen that Mr. Zhou had his money snatched, and then he fought with the robbers. After that, he was beaten up by the robbers and his face was bruised and swollen.
Looking at the footage on the screen, Yi Pin was a bit confused. Why did the girl behind stare directly at Mr. Zhou with a look of disgust on her face?
He originally wanted to mention it, but then thought it inappropriate. She should just be a passer - by. Anyway, there were plenty of strange people, and she was just one of them.
Qi Mingyang had been absent - minded all the time. When Yi Pin asked him questions, he seemed not to hear.
"Qi Mingyang, can you be more serious?" Yi Pin looked at Qi Mingyang in front of him helplessly. He had been like a walking corpse all day.
"Okay, got it!" Qi Mingyang replied weakly.
Yi Pin sighed helplessly. "When is the court session? I'm almost prepared. Just inform me when it's time to go to court!"
"Wow, great!" Qi Mingyang forced a smile. The smile on his face looked so forced, as if everything was going with the flow.
After saying that, Qi Mingyang left, saying that there was still work to do at the police station.
Yi Pin walked on the road alone, feeling extremely irritated. Everyone seemed a bit strange today, and the whole atmosphere felt odd too.
Walking by the roadside, he saw a little boy squatting on the side of the road, crying his heart out.
Yi Pin quietly sat down next to the little boy without making a sound.
The child turned his head and glanced at him, then paused.
"What are you looking at!" Yi Pin bared his teeth and raised his eyebrows.
The child instantly cried even louder, with tears welling up in his eyes and streaming down like rain.
Yi Pin stared directly at the crying child in front of him, frowning. This child really looked like Shen Yu, with a cold and handsome face and a somewhat aloof air.
Seeing that Yi Pin had no intention of comforting him, the child stopped crying and wiped his tears with his chubby little hands.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Do you have troubles too?" the child asked with a sad face and a worried look.
Yi Pin frowned, couldn't help but smile, and looked at the child in front of him helplessly. At such a young age, why was he so mature, just like a little adult?
"Yeah, brother is in a bad mood today... What about you? Why are you unhappy?"
Yi Pin smiled, propped his hands behind him, and looked at the little boy in front of him.
"Sigh, I'm so disappointed. My uncle said he would play with me today, but then he stood me up because of work again..." the child propped his chin on his hands and said with a worried look. "Forget it... You wouldn't understand anyway!"
Yi Pin was speechless when he heard this. He was actually rendered unable to refute by a child.
The two of them sat by the roadside for a long time, quietly looking at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling a bit melancholy.
"Come on, I'll treat you to an ice - cream!"
Yi Pin stood up, clapped his hands, looked at the child beside him, and smiled.
"You're not a kid anymore, and you still eat ice - cream..."
The child sighed helplessly, shook his head at Yi Pin.
"Damn it, you're... amazing. What's your name?"
Yi Pin grinned, looking at the child with great interest.
"Xiaoshan!"
"Alright, Brother Shan. Come on, can your little brother treat you to an ice - cream as an honor?"
Yi Pin looked at Xiaoshan in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. This child was really interesting.
The two ate ice - creams and played on the seesaw in the park, feeling a bit bored.
"Where's your mom?"
It was only after playing for a long time that Yi Pin remembered he had almost forgotten to ask why the child was alone.
"At home. I ran away from home!" Xiaoshan said with a smile. His face was chubby and very cute.
"Damn it!" Yi Pin was so shocked that he stood still on the spot. People might think he was abducting a child if they didn't know.
After calling the child's mother, he finally felt relieved.
The child's mother soon arrived at the park. She was very gentle and looked like a well - bred lady at first sight.
"Thank you so much. I'm really sorry to trouble you..."
"No, I should thank him for keeping me company!" Yi Pin smiled.
"How about... I invite you to dinner?" Xiaoshan's mother said warmly.
"You're welcome!" Yi Pin was shy around strangers, so he naturally refused.
"Brother Yi, will you come to my house to play this weekend? No one plays with Xiaoshan. Please, okay?"
The child was extremely stubborn and kept begging Yi Pin to play with him this weekend.
Yi Pin had no choice but to nod. After all, they could be considered friends despite the age gap.
It was late at night when he got home. As soon as he entered the door, he was startled by Shen Yu, who was standing upright at the door with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? Where have you been?"
Faced with these three questions in a row, Yi Pin didn't know how to answer. He casually glanced and saw Lin Yangcong sitting on the sofa, looking at them blankly. The words Lin Yangcong had said flashed through his mind. A couple?
"None of your business!" Yi Pin said coldly.
Shen Yu quickly put his hand in front of Yi Pin and said seriously, "What's going on with you recently? Did someone say something to you?"
Actually, Shen Yu was quite afraid that Qi Mingyang would confess his love first.
"Don't interfere!" Yi Pin slapped Shen Yu's hand away, walked straight into his room, and closed the door, feeling extremely irritated.
After thinking it over and over again, he always felt that his relationship with Shen Yu was indeed extraordinary, but he didn't know why.
He tossed and turned in his room, played on the computer and the phone, but he just couldn't pull his mind back.
Finally, hesitantly, he knocked on Shen Yu's room door. Shen Yu was a bit confused and shocked when he opened the door.
"I just... want to ask for your opinion on this case!" Yi Pin said nervously.
"Come in!"
Yi Pin stepped into the room, and a faint smell of jasmine body wash wafted over.
Shen Yu looked at the case file, the video Yi Pin had brought back, and the videos posted by netizens online.
Yi Pin kept carefully looking at Shen Yu in front of him. This guy was really good - looking, and the more you looked at him, the handsomer he became.
"What's your opinion on this case?" Shen Yu looked up at Yi Pin and asked thoughtfully.
"The robbers attempted to rob but were discovered, and then they attacked the plaintiff!"
Yi Pin said nonchalantly, looking as if it was a matter of course.
"No, I think there are some controversies!" Shen Yu put on his glasses and said seriously. "Look, why did this woman show such an expression towards the plaintiff? And the videos posted online are different versions. We can't make a conclusion yet..."
As Yi Pin listened to Shen Yu, he realized that there were so many flaws and deficiencies in his original assumption.
Hearing this, he sat down next to Shen Yu, clicked the mouse, and looked at the video on the screen in front of him. There was an indescribable feeling.
Most of the time, Shen Yu could always give him some turning - point opinions and suggestions.
After watching the video, Yi Pin suddenly realized and slowly said, "Then I'll visit them tomorrow to investigate the detailed situation!"
