Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 360 Going Home
Qin Chengyuan and Su Miaoyi returned home, chatting casually along the way.

The casual conversations mostly revolved around cases.

Director Qin chatted, appearing very calm, but he was worried the whole way that he might have misunderstood something.

I'm worried that when she says she's going home, she actually means she's going back to Weiyang Palace.

Especially when they reached the intersection where they were supposed to turn towards Weiyang Palace, Qin Chengyuan felt his palms sweating.

He did not turn towards Weiyang Palace, and Su Miaoyi did not speak.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly regained his composure.

Did she not realize she should have turned at that intersection, which is why she didn't say anything?

Of course he wanted her to come home; he dreamed of her coming home.

However, he was worried that he might misunderstand her and go straight home, afraid that she would feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.

Qin Ting sighed silently to himself.

Back in the day, he was someone who would face death countless times without batting an eye, but when facing his daughter, he was uneasy, at a loss, and his palms were sweating.

Finally home, Qin Chengyuan parked his car in the parking lot.

Su Miaoyi got out of the car and saw Shen Shilan's car parked on the side.

Seeing that she didn't react, Qin Chengyuan realized that when she said "go home," she meant "go home to this house."

The two walked home together.

Qin Chengyuan turned his head to look at her: "Were you doing this on purpose, watching me being so anxious the whole way?"

Su Miaoyi pursed her lips, looked up at him, and gave a mischievous smile.

Qin Chengyuan stopped and looked at her.

Su Miaoyi took his arm and pulled him forward, saying, "It's rare to see Director Qin so anxious, so of course we should watch him for a while longer."

Qin Chengyuan followed her, letting her pull his arm: "You think I scared your colleague and you're getting revenge on me, right?"

“How could that be?” Su Miaoyi turned to look at him. “How could I be that kind of person?”

After she finished speaking, she added, "I'm exactly that kind of person."

Qin Chengyuan smiled.

The two of them entered the elevator together and went upstairs.

After exiting the elevator, Su Miaoyi took two steps ahead and stood at the door.

It looks exactly the same as when she left a few years ago; it seems like nothing has changed.

Qin Chengyuan stood behind her without urging her.

After a while, Su Miaoyi placed her finger on the fingerprint lock.

Unlock failed.

I tried another finger, but it still failed to unlock.

Sure enough, the fingerprints on the new body were different.

Just as Su Miaoyi was about to enter the password, she suddenly heard footsteps in the room, so she stopped.

Shen Shilan was pruning her newly bought potted plants in the living room when she heard the sound of the lock failing to open. She went to the door, looked out through the video doorbell, and saw Qin Chengyuan standing at the door.

She opened the door: "Is the lock broken?"

Qin Chengyuan stood still: "The fingerprints haven't been unlocked."

Shen Shilan looked at him and said with a smile, "It seems that Director Qin has forgotten the password. Luckily I was home, otherwise Director Qin would be squatting at the door today."

Qin Chengyuan smiled, but neither spoke nor moved.

"What are you doing?" Shen Shilan said. "Are you playing 'Statues' with me? Come in."

Su Miaoyi peeked out from behind Qin Chengyuan and looked at Shen Shilan: "I've taken Director Qin hostage, he doesn't dare to move."

Shen Shilan was stunned for a moment when she saw Su Miaoyi, then her face lit up with surprise and delight: "Le Miaomiao!"

Su Miaoyi smiled.

Shen Shilan pushed Qin Chengyuan aside and pulled Su Miaoyi into the room, saying, "Come on, come on."

Qin Chengyuan: "."

Su Miaoyi stood in the entrance hall.

Shen Shilan took out several pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet: "These are all new ones I bought recently. I was thinking you might wear them when you come back sometime, so I picked out a pair."

"This one, please." Su Miaoyi picked out a pair of fluffy kitten slippers.

“Okay,” Shen Shilan said. “I knew you would like it.”

Su Miaoyi changed her shoes and went into the living room with Shen Shilan. Qin Chengyuan stood at the door, watching their backs, but neither of them paid him any attention.

He coughed lightly, trying to get attention.

Shen Shilan and Su Miaoyi both turned to look at him.

Su Miaoyi looked at him without saying a word, casting a sympathetic glance at him.

Shen Shilan said, "Close the door."

After saying that, he left with Su Miaoyi.

Qin Chengyuan stood at the door for two seconds, sighed, came in, and closed the door.

Su Miaoyi looked around.

"Has nothing changed?" Shen Shilan asked.

Su Miaoyi nodded: "The potted plants have been replaced."

Shen Shilan said, "I killed all those potted plants I had before."

Su Miaoyi looked at the white wall next to the balcony, which was covered with her childhood drawings. It had been kept all these years, and there was also a picture of her growing up.

When she was little, she would pester Qin Chengyuan to measure her height every few days. There was a section on the wall with very dense markings, all of which were drawn by Qin Chengyuan.

Furthermore, an additional sealing layer has been applied.

"Your dad had it sealed up because he was worried about it fading," Shen Shilan said. "Shall we go to the room to take a look?"

"it is good."

Su Miaoyi went to her bedroom.

Apart from the four-piece bedding set, everything else was exactly the same as when she left, without any changes.

Shen Shilan was standing at the door, but as she looked at Su Miaoyi's back, she couldn't help but want to cry, so she walked into the living room.

Qin Chengyuan wiped away her tears and whispered, "It's alright, it's alright, don't cry."

"I'm so happy," Shen Shilan said softly between sobs. "Lele is back, my daughter is back."

Su Miaoyi heard Shen Shilan sobbing softly in the room.

Qin Chengyuan's eyes also reddened, and he gently patted Shen Shilan's back: "Don't cry."

“I didn’t want to cry, but I couldn’t help it,” Shen Shilan said.

Su Miaoyi wiped away her tears and then opened the wardrobe that was closest to her.

When you pull it open, it's full of clothes.

She looked at them and saw that many still had their tags on; some looked like they had been bought recently, while others looked like they had been bought a while ago.

It seems that even though she wasn't there, Shen Shilan was still buying her clothes.

She looked at all the clothes and then saw the police uniform hanging inside.

She held it in her hand and touched it for a while, then hung it inside.

When Shen Shilan brought over the fruit, Su Miaoyi had several pieces of pajamas lying on the bed and was considering which one to wear.

“This one looks good,” Shen Shilan said.

"Then wear this one." Su Miaoyi put the other clothes back. "We went hiking this morning and we worked up a good sweat."

"Then take a shower first," Shen Shilan said. "I'll have someone bring some groceries over later. I'm going to cook tonight myself."

Su Miaoyi paused as she put down the clothes, and when she turned to look at her, she saw that the woman had already put down the fruit and gone out to make a phone call.

Su Miaoyi quickly chased after her.

Qin Chengyuan asked Shen Shilan, "What's wrong? What do you want?"

"I'll have some groceries delivered, and I'll cook dinner tonight." Shen Shilan was delighted and picked up her phone to unlock it.

"Shilan!"

"mom!"

After Su Miaoyi finished shouting, she subconsciously glanced out the window.

Qin Chengyuan and Su Miaoyi called out to her at the same time.

Shen Shilan looked at the two of them, and when she heard Su Miaoyi call her name, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "I, I..."

She looked at Qin Chengyuan: "Has Qin Ting not cooked in a long time?"

Su Miaoyi was also looking at him.

Qin Chengyuan straightened up and rolled up his sleeves: "The kitchen is mine today, neither of you are allowed to enter."
