Chapter 2 Surprised Again
The morning sunlight fell on the ward through the blinds, and fell on the girl on the bed, as if she had been coated with a faint light.

A slight voice came from outside the ward, causing the sleeping Cheng Suiran to slowly open his eyes, subconsciously looking for the figure of the man.

"You go in later, it's still a little early."

Standing outside the ward, Li Qizhi raised his hand and looked at the mechanical watch. The time displayed on it was exactly 7:00.

"How is the little girl these days?" A young male policeman asked with concern.

Li Qizhi nodded slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "It's not bad, I should be able to recall some things that night in detail."

"That's good." The young policeman nodded, and then his eyes fell on the thermos bucket in his hand, he raised his eyebrows, and asked in disbelief, "Pray, did you bring breakfast for the little girl? "

To say that he and Qi Zhi were comrades-in-arms in the early years, when he was in the army, Qi Zhi's character was taciturn, let alone helping people buy breakfast.

That's why he was surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Soy milk and yellow buns, do you want to eat?" Li Qizhi frowned slightly and asked seriously.

The young policeman quickly waved his hand and said, "I've eaten, I've eaten."

Li Qizhi glanced at him indifferently, turned around and leaned his back against the wall, and said no more.

The atmosphere in the corridor suddenly fell into embarrassment. The young policeman took a sneaky look at the man beside him, wanting to strike up a conversation with him, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to give up in the end.

The temperament of his old comrade-in-arms has really never changed, he is still a boring gourd, if it continues like this, he is worried whether his old comrade-in-arms will end up alone.

Time passed by, until the door of the ward was opened from the inside, revealing the little girl's uneasy face, which broke the embarrassing deadlock.

"Brother, where have you been?"

Cheng Suiran turned to look at the man leaning against the wall, staring at him unblinkingly with a pair of dark eyes, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"I'm going to buy you breakfast." Li Qizhi's indifferent and alienated attitude would subside unconsciously when facing the little girl.

Hearing his answer, Cheng Suiran nodded and said softly, "Thank you brother."

"It's nothing, let's go in first." Li Qizhi's tone softened a bit, then he stood up straight, turned around and walked into the ward with the little girl.

The young police officer who reacted, winked with his colleagues, and followed immediately.

The summer breeze brought a little sultriness, blowing a corner of the blue curtain.

Sensing the two scorching gazes in front of him, Cheng Suiran couldn't help but look up, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, why don't you write the description first."

Otherwise, she always felt a little weird to be stared at by two policemen for eating.

"Eat first." Li Qizhi's voice was as calm as ever, without any waves.

He just glanced at the two young policemen lightly: "Can you wait a little longer?"

Adhering to a business-like attitude, one of the police officers said: "It is best to finish the written statement by 8:30."

"Okay, I'll be fine soon." Cheng Suiran nodded obediently, held the thermos with both hands, and drank soy milk anxiously.

Half a bucket of soy milk was poured into her stomach, her fair face swelled up in an instant, and she anxiously gestured with her hands that it would be ready soon.

But I don't know that there are some soy milk stains on my lips at this moment, and my whole body is like a funny and cute kitten.

Seeing this, Li Qizhi couldn't help laughing, and the corner of his mouth unintentionally raised a smile.

Looking at this scene, the young police officer couldn't help coughing, diverted his attention and said, "Don't worry, swallow slowly."

At the moment when his words fell, Cheng Shisui successfully swallowed all the soy milk, and said quickly, "Uncle, let's start."

The two police officers nodded slightly and stepped forward. The young police officer took out his notebook and waited quietly for another colleague to start.

"A few days before the incident, did you find any suspicious people near your home?"

One of the older police officers asked seriously while observing her expression.

Cheng Suiran seemed to be thinking seriously, and shook his head after a while: "No..."

"Did you see the murderer's appearance that night?"

As the older police officer's question fell, Cheng Suiran's thoughts couldn't help being brought back to that night.

The thunder in the rainstorm, her father's wide eyes, the blood on the sword, the murderer's pursuit, all these scenes were replaying in her mind over and over again.

"That night..."

An uncontrollable fear and panic surged in Cheng Shisui's heart. She clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to recall the traits of the murderer.

Intermittently said: "The murderer that night, he... he is not very tall, he seems to be a little fat, those eyes..."

Just when she closed her eyes and carefully recalled the shape of the murderer's eyes that night, the murderer in her mind seemed to know something, turned around suddenly again, and raised a sharp knife to stab her fiercely.

"what!"

Cheng Suiran suddenly opened his eyes, his face was pale, he subconsciously curled up in a corner, his red eyes looked at the man beside him, and he choked up, "Brother, I'm afraid..."

The memory of that night was like a spell, she wanted to forget but couldn't.

"Hey, I have my brother here, so don't be afraid." Li Qizhi stretched out his arms, and embraced the little girl who was curled up in a ball.

A deep voice sounded in her ears, bringing comfort, effectively calming down some of the fear in her heart.

Cheng Suiran buried his head in Li Qizhi's arms, hugged him tightly, choked with sobs and said, "Brother...can you write a story another day..."

Now as long as she thinks about everything that night, she can't stop being afraid.

Li Qizhi patted her on the back lightly, said "um" in his voice, raised his eyes to look at the two police officers, and said softly, "Come back another day, when Ranran is in better condition."

Seeing this, the two police officers didn't insist anymore, they just urged: "Pray, if the little girl's condition improves, please let us know immediately."

"En." Li Qizhi replied.

After the two police officers left, the ward was quiet again, except for her low sobbing.

Li Qizhi didn't say much, but kept stroking the little girl's back to show comfort.

After a long time, Cheng Suiran gradually recovered.

She reached out to wipe the tears on her cheeks, looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes were still a little red and swollen: "Brother... I'm sorry, I made your clothes dirty again..."

"It's just tears, not dirty." Li Qizhi looked down at the little girl in his arms, and asked with concern: "Then are you better?"

"It's better..." Cheng Suiran nodded, and then he noticed something, and quickly withdrew from the man's arms, bit his lips, and whispered: "Brother, I want to go back to school."

She promised her father that she would be admitted to a good university.
