Chapter 284: Misdirection
Cheng Ling downloaded the original image and saved it immediately.
This is the first photo of Brother Lan that she has.
The background is a white wall.
—— Because of the requirements, we cannot take photos of the office in the bureau.
Jiang Qilan stood against the wall with his face half turned sideways, looking up at the camera.
He wore a light gray shirt, a black suit, and a black tie.
Maybe he was not used to the camera, his eyes were slightly evasive.
His hair was a little messy, and because he stared at the computer for too long, the corners of his eyes were a little red.
A little obedient——
[Cheng Xiaoling: I'm verifying my identity. Why are you wearing a suit? ]
[Lan: I received foreign guests this afternoon. ]
[Lan: You haven't slept yet so late? ]
[Cheng Xiaoling: You haven't slept either? ]
Jiang Qilan replied quickly.
[Lan: I'm busy with work. ]
[Cheng Xiaoling: I'm busy with work too. ]
[Lan:...What kind of work? Doting on your fans? ]
[Cheng Xiaoling: I guess so. ]
[Lan: The other party is typing...]
After several minutes, Jiang Qilan's message came.
[Lan: I've been wanting to eat that hand-pulled meat all day. I only had time to stuff two buns from the cafeteria for dinner. Sigh.jpg]
Cheng Ling looked at the aggrieved little man's face and chuckled unconsciously.
[Cheng Xiaoling: I'll return the car to you after the car is repaired in a few days. Let's go over for a meal, shall we? ]
The arc of Jiang Qilan's mouth corners was not obvious. He put one hand in his pocket and the other hand with distinct joints held the phone. His slender fingers quickly tapped on the screen:
[Lan: OK. I'll treat you next time. ]
When Jiang Qilan was looking for the right expression, the office door was pushed open.
A colleague in the bureau called him: "Brother Lan, aren't you leaving yet? It's past midnight!"
At this time, the colleague saw his expression.
"Brother Lan, you smile so sweetly, are you sending a message to your girlfriend?"
After saying that, he came over and pretended to look at Jiang Qilan's phone.
Jiang Qilan felt a little guilty, so he put his phone in his pocket and fumbled to press the lock screen button: "Go to hell! Go home quickly, or your sister-in-law will make you sleep on the street if you're late."
Jiang Qilan didn't know at the moment that he had accidentally sent an emoticon when he put his phone in his pocket.
"Kiss" emoticon.
Seeing the reaction of the always cold Brother Lan, his colleagues became more excited.
"Oh my god! There's really something going on! Who is it? Who poached the grass in my bureau!"
Jiang Qilan was afraid that Cheng Ling would wait for too long, so he had to use force to expel the screaming colleague.
Ignoring the pounding on the door outside, he locked the door and took out his phone from his pocket.
Unlocking the phone, Jiang Qilan realized that the last message he sent to Cheng Ling was an emoticon he sent.
It was still a "kiss" emoticon.
Jiang Qilan panicked.
Luckily, the "withdraw" time had not passed, so he hurriedly pressed the message for a long time.
The options popped up.
His fingertips hovered over the [Withdraw] key, but he didn't press it.
Withdraw - explain it again, Cheng Ling will understand.
Jiang Qilan thought.
But he seemed frozen and never pressed it.
On the other side, Cheng Ling didn't reply.
She guessed that Brother Lan must have touched it by mistake.
She was waiting for Brother Lan to withdraw.
However, Brother Lan didn't move.
Both of them were staring at the small "kiss" expression on the screen, waiting as well.
Two minutes passed.
The withdrawal time was exceeded.
Cheng Ling bit her lip, hid her smile on her lips, and quickly typed:
[Cheng Xiaoling: Okay, then Brother Lan will treat me next time. I won't be soft-hearted. ]
Cheng Ling guessed that Jiang Qilan must be busy with something else.
- Although it was an accidental touch, Cheng Ling was in a good mood looking at that expression.
However, Cheng Ling received a reply from Jiang Qilan as soon as she sent the message.
[Lan: You can do whatever you want. ]
Cheng Ling was a little confused.
Did Brother Lan touch it by mistake?
Why didn't he withdraw it if he touched it by mistake?
No explanation?
Maybe he just started using WeChat and didn't understand the functions of WeChat?
Both of them were silent for a while.
Jiang Qilan changed the subject.
[Lan: Have you dealt with all your affairs? ]
[Cheng Xiaoling: Everything has been dealt with. I will stay put for the time being and wait for the other party to give me information. ]
Cheng Ling asked the [Complete Wish] organization to send the severed hand of the corpse to the place designated by Amos.
But it will be placed half a month later.
Because the severed hand needs to be placed for a period of time to achieve the best effect of confusing time.
In addition, according to normal procedures, cross-continental mailing of such things will not be too fast.
If the processing speed is too fast-may attract Amos's attention.
Cheng Ling doesn't want to stand out too much.
[Lan: If you need me, please tell me. Don't be polite to me. ]
[Cheng Xiaoling: I won't be polite to you. ]
We should be able to end the chat here.
But he didn't want to end the chat like this.
But he had no topic.
【Cheng Xiaoling: Have you received greetings from friends overseas? 】
Jiang Qilan immediately understood that this was a question about whether his mother had contacted them.
【Lan: Not yet. It's not the agreed time yet. 】
【Cheng Xiaoling: My friend is safe. Don't worry. 】
Cheng Ling confirmed it in her own way.
【Lan: Thank you. 】
This time, the two of them were silent for a longer time.
Jiang Qilan thought for a while, but there was really no topic to talk about on WeChat.
[Lan: I'm going home, you should also go to bed early. ]
[Cheng Xiaoling: Yes, I'm ready to sleep. Brother Lan, good night. ]
[Lan: Good night. ]
Jiang Qilan didn't go home immediately.
He felt his heart swelling, full, a little panic, a little sweet.
He clicked on Cheng Ling's Moments, and the strange feeling faded a little.
Cheng Ling's Moments, there is no time limit, all can be seen.
However, she has posted very little recently, before she drowned, she posted very frequently.
Jiang Qilan read through them one by one.
