AMMIH Chapter 5.2 -- The Time is Not Right

     While talking about different things, they quickly cleaned up the kitchen.

    Qiao Yin picked up the leftover cured fish and bacon to take home with her, due to enjoying an amazing meal she was in a good mood, but she was still a bit embarrassed so she said, "I'm sorry, originally I was the one who supposed to treat you to a meal, but in the end, you treated me to a meal."  She thought for a second before nodding and declaring, "I will take you to another restaurant next time." Then she smiled and blinked her big eyes at him, which under the light of the living room looked very beautiful, "You don't have any more relatives who own restaurants, do you?"

    "Not that I know of." He responded, although he could not promise that the restaurant she would take him to would not be one he had been to before. Especially considering that coworkers at the station often get together to eat, in the group of ten men, at least eight of them were foodies. So they were always able to find a good restaurant with delicious food.

    Qiao Yin smiled happily, giving Xiao Yang the impression that she was looking at a feast rather than a person.

    After she went home, Xiao Yang showered, adjusted the air conditioning to the lowest temperature then turned on the TV and laid down on the sofa to rest. Besides cooking, he did not have any other hobbies, as a student he did enjoy playing basketball, but after he began working he rarely had time to rest. Thus during his off days, he would either be sleeping or cooking.

    Once in a while, he would go on Weibo to stay connected to society. Recently, WeChat's friend moments was the popular trend. Although he did not usually use them as he was not able to keep up with the flow.

    So out of boredom, he opened WeChat's friend moments out of boredom and he saw that twenty minutes ago Qiao Yin had posted, "Always working hard to become a foodie of the highest level in order to satisfy my love for food, such a small goal, but the task is tiring. Originally I thought my skill in cooking was pretty good, but after tonight I finally know the difference between a mortal and a godly chef. QAQ"

    Huang Ling liked the post and commented: "Where did you go to eat delicious food again tonight? (→_→)

    Qiao Yin replied: "(←_←) At the home of a celestial being who has an amazing figure and appearance...."

    Huang Ling asked again: "Such a high review, why didn't you eat the celestial being along with the food?"

    Qiao Yin mysteriously commented: "The time is not right, no rush. The celestial being is too high quality, eating too early will cause indigestion." There was even a 'shush' emoji.

    The time is not right? Xiao Yang raised an eyebrow. Huang Ling often hung out at Qiao Yin's apartment, so he often saw her. She was a very sociable and bold person, one morning she even asked for his phone number and added him on WeChat. He rarely used WeChat, so the two of them probably did not expect that he would have seen the posts.

    Xiao Yang put down his phone, put an arm on his forehead, and closed his eyes.

    After spending time with Qiao Yin, he realized that not only did she put on airs but she was also easy to satisfy and send away. If everyone was like her that receiving a bit of shock all that they needed was some food, then his job would be a lot easier.

    For the next few days, Xiao Yang worked over time as usual.

    Fortunately these days there were no unexpected cases, it was only on Wednesday that they received a serious case. A manager of a construction site had a hundred thousand stolen from him, Yan Cong had gone to the site to investigate and the money was stolen in the shed. Liu Qiang, the manager would usually place money in a box under the bed, unexpectedly while he was out to lunch, someone broke the door using a screwdriver and stole the money.

    The room did not have any signs of the culprit flipping through drawers and cabinets, which meant that the robber knew that the money was kept under the bed. So Yan Cong eliminated the possibility of it being a random robbery, from the clues it could be deduced that the robber was someone the manager knew. They retrieved the fingerprints from the scene and then looked into everyone who had been in the shed. By that afternoon they had already zeroed in on a worker called Wei Jun as the biggest suspect.

    Coincidentally it was time for shift change, but as Xiao Yang was getting ready to go home, he saw Yan Cong taking big steps towards him as he asked, "Preparing to go home? Come come come, come with me to the park to bring the suspect in first then I'll take you home after."

    Xiao Yang did have any important business to attend to so he agreed to ride along. Since they were going to the park to arrest someone, they changed into their casual wear first. 

    Wei Jun was a migrant worker from another part of the country, he was only 17 years old, from the photo, he seemed righteous and did not seem like someone who would sneak about. When Xiao Yang and Yan Cong found him, he was walking with his girlfriend hand in hand, every once in a while he would whisper something into the girl's ear, making her laugh.

    Suddenly seeing two men stopping in front of them, Wei Jun was startled for a second before quickly putting his girlfriend behind him, staring at them with his guard up.

    "Are you Wei Jun?" Yan Cong asked, taking out his badge, "I'm Yan Cong, an officer from the criminal division of the city police. This is my coworker, Xiao Yang. You're suspected of stealing a hundred thousand yuan, please come with us to the station to help with the investigation."

    Wei Jun had not yet reacted yet, when his girlfriend turned to him with eyes wide with shock then she turned at Yan Cong in disbelief, "That's not possible right? Mr. policeman, did you guys make a mistake? Wei Jun wouldn't steal anything!" 

    "Xiao Li, go back first." Wei Jun said, revealing to be very calm. He squeezed her hand and turned her around calmly and gently comforting her, "I will go with them to help with the investigation." 

    Due to his attitude, Xiao Yang could not help observing the young man. Wei Jun's skin was on the darker side and he was considered to be the skinny tall type. Just like many migrant workers his age, he was wearing faded blue jeans and a yellow shirt with wrinkled and worn-out sneakers. What Xiao Yang took note of the most was Wei Jun's expression. He looked very calm, almost as if he had long prepared himself for this.

    Yang Xiao Li also noticed this and she started to panic. She tightly grabbed onto Wei Jun's arm, while frantically shaking her head at Yan Cong, "He really wouldn't steal!"

    However, Wei Jun removed her hands, "Xiao Li, be good, I'm just going to help with the investigation."

    Xiao Yang and Yan Cong exchanged a look, both of them thinking that this scene was a bit weird.

    After they took Wei Jun away, the shocked and panicked Yang Xiao Li knelt down and started crying out loud. She did not know what happened, but she was sure the policemen had made a mistake. She helplessly cried for a while before she wiped her tears and got to her feet and without caring about the numbness in her legs, she sprinted out of the park.

    Yang XiaoLi remembered what Yan Cong's car looked like, since it was currently rush hour, there was a lot of traffic. So she ran in the direction of the police station and not long after she spotted the car she was looking for. However, before she could reach the car, the traffic light changed and the traffic started to move. So Yang Xiao Li could only continue to chase, from afar she saw the car stop in front of an apartment building and saw Xiao Yang get out of the car.
   
    By the time she had run over there, the car had already left and Xiao Yang had gone into the building.

    Yang XiaoLi saw that she would not be able to catch up to the car, so she decided to go find Xiao Yang. But the metal gate at the entrance had a password, so she couldn't get the door to open at all and could only stand there banging on the door and shouting as she cried, "Mr. policeman! Mr. policeman!"

    Coincidentally, Qiao Yin was going up from the parking lot and so she came upon this scene. In the entire building there was only one policeman living here and that was Xiao Yang. So Qiao Yin knew that the girl was most likely looking for him, so she walked over to the door and asked through the gate, "Young miss, what is the name of the policeman you're looking for?"

    "Surname Xiao, Xiao Yang!" Seeing her here, Yang XiaoLi quickly started begging her with everything she had as if she was her savior. Her entire face was red and soaked with tears as she went, "Aunty, please help me get in, my boyfriend was taken away by the police, but he didn't steal anything!"
