Zhang Yang led Wang Ye to a large jeep and said, "This is the only kind of vehicle we have in our group."

Wang Ye simply smiled, got into the passenger seat, and fastened his seatbelt.

Zhang Yang only turned his head for a moment before he saw a red Mazda sports car parked outside the hospital.

The Mazda MX-5 is a two-seater lightweight convertible sports car that debuted in 1989. It is renowned worldwide for its pure driving pleasure and the "Jinba Ittai" (horse and rider as one) handling philosophy. As the world's best-selling two-seater convertible, it is certified by the Guinness World Records and is a spiritual icon of the Mazda brand.

Zhang Yang knew that this girl was about to begin her psychological evaluation. After all, she had been undercover for so long, and the police force needed to know about her mental health.

Along the way, Wang Ye only talked about certain topics, such as the case and Zhang Yang's love life.

Suddenly, Wang Ye asked, "You really like stockings?"

Zhang Yang was startled and almost crashed into the car in front of him. He said, "No...no."

Wang Ye smiled and said, "You've seen it at least twenty times, is it really that appealing to you?"

Zhang Yang blushed at these words, and Wang Ye said, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Our meeting was Qin's idea. First, it was for your psychological evaluation, and second, it was probably to arrange a blind date for us. Now that this matter is settled, you can ask Qin about the second one yourself."

Zhang Yang parked the car on the side of the road, and after Wang Ye got out, he continued, "Did you just see my car?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "The Mazda MX-5 is a very good car."

Wang nodded and said, "You have good observation skills." He then tossed the car keys into the car and added, "You can drive it. Remember to pick me up from get off work tonight and take me home."

Zhang Yang took the keys, unsure what to do. Wang Ye had already walked away. Helpless, Zhang Yang took out his phone and called Qin Liguo, saying, "Uncle Qin, Captain Qin, what are you doing?"

Hearing Zhang Yang's exasperated voice, Qin Liguo laughed and said, "What, you two have met?"

Zhang Yang said, "I've met him. They even gave me a psychological evaluation. Captain Qin, I'm definitely not psychologically unstable."

Qin Liguo lit a cigarette and said, "I know you're okay with it. I'm just trying to get you two to meet. This girl is great, beautiful, has a great figure, and is more educated than you, not to mention anything else. It won't hurt to get to know her."

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, "Uncle Qin, shouldn't you at least let me know before arranging a blind date for me?"

Qin Liguo laughed and said, "Alright, a real man shouldn't be going on a blind date. It's settled then. I have a meeting to attend to, so I'm hanging up now." He then hung up the phone.

Zhang Yang had Wang Ye's car keys, but he didn't have her phone number and didn't know what time she would get off work. He thought about these questions all the way back to the hospital.

Seeing him come in looking dejected, Tian Rui smiled and said, "Oh, what's wrong? You look like a wilted eggplant, all droopy?"

Zhang Yang said, "It's nothing, I just got tricked." Then he looked at Ji Jie and said, "Sister Ji, I'm afraid I'll have to leave work early today."

Ji Jie smiled and said, "No problem, Bao Le will come over tonight to relieve you. Just come early tomorrow."

"Perfect timing. Tian Rui, you watch over Jiajia. Let's go back to the bureau; the technical department's assessment results are in."

"it is good."

All the way, Ji Jie kept asking about Wang Ye's situation, but Zhang Yang knew nothing about it. Ji Jie laughed and said, "You, you've wasted all of Captain Qin's good intentions towards you."

Upon arriving at the branch office's technical section, Xiao Gao stated, "This is the footprint analysis from the scene of the robbery at Fuda Residential Complex. The suspect is 1.7 meters tall, weighs 68 kilograms, and has a flat left foot."

Ji Jie said, "It really was him." Then she turned and left.

Xiao Gao then asked, "Who is it?"

After Zhang Yang followed Ji Jie outside, he asked, "Was it that person?"

Ji Jie nodded and said, "These footprints are exactly the same as those in the case two years ago." As she walked, she said, "I'm going to the archives."

At the hospital, Chang Baole went to cover a shift and bought some fruit for breakfast. He found that Jiajia was already able to communicate with Tian Rui, although they communicated very little.

Tian Rui handed her an apple and said, "Jiajia, have some fruit."

Jiajia took the apple and ate it in small bites. Chang Baole said, "That's amazing."

After pulling Chang Baole outside, Tian Rui said, "Zhang Yang invited a psychology expert from the headquarters. They talked for over an hour and managed to calm Jiajia down a bit. Remember, don't say anything carelessly later." Then she repeated what Wang Ye had told her.

Chang Baole said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything out of line." Then he whispered, "I didn't expect Zhang Yang to have such strong connections; he can even get people from the headquarters."

Tian Rui said, "Zhang Yang came from the headquarters, how could he not know people from the headquarters?"

We arrived at the archives.

The archivist said, "Sister Ji is here?"

Ji Jie smiled and said, "Could you help me retrieve Ma Hongsheng's case file from two years ago?"

The administrator said, "Sister Ji, has Ma Hongsheng shown up again?"

Ji Jie just smiled and didn't say anything. The administrator realized he had spoken out of turn and looked at Zhang Yang, saying, "Oh, you're new to your group? You're quite handsome."

Zhang Yang smiled shyly and said nothing.

After retrieving the file, Ji Jie and Zhang Yang began to examine it carefully, and sure enough, the footprint identification results matched.

In the afternoon, Ji Jie said, "I have to go out for a bit, and I'd like to introduce Jiajia to a friend while I'm at it."

Zhang Yang said, "Okay, Sister Ji, you go ahead. I'll go to the hospital first, and then I'll get off work."

Zhang Yang arrived at the hospital, and Ji Jie went to the school to pick up Xiao Xue.

Xiaoxue is the daughter of Li Lanying, Ji Jie's informant. Two years ago, in the case of Ma Hongsheng, Li Lanying found Ma Hongsheng and wanted Ji Jie to identify him. Unexpectedly, Ma Hongsheng discovered this and killed Li Lanying with a kitchen knife in her home. Xiaoxue fainted when she saw this scene after school.

It wasn't until Ji Jie visited that they learned about this. Xiao Xue's father was abroad participating in a very important project, so Ji Jie took on the task of taking care of Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue usually stayed at school, only staying at Ji Jie's house during winter and summer vacations.

When Zhang Yang arrived at the hospital, he found Chang Baole there as well. He didn't say anything, put down the snacks he was holding, picked up a book, and sat down on the sofa in the corner to read.

Tian Rui asked, "Hey, weren't you planning to leave work early?"

Zhang Yang said without looking up, "I'll wait for Sister Ji to come over, hand over the shift, and then I'll leave."

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Jie pulled a girl in and said, "This is Xiaoxue. She just got out of school and had nothing to do, so I brought her out to get something to eat." She then waved the takeout bag in her hand and said, "Roast duck, it smells pretty good."

Tian Rui and Xiao Xue had met before. They started eating, and Zhang Yang stood up and said, "You guys enjoy your food and drinks. I'm going off work now. I'll bring you something delicious tomorrow morning."

Everyone waved, and Jiajia said, "Goodbye, brother."

The moment those words were spoken, Zhang Yang knew that Jiajia was gradually forgetting those things.

The lively atmosphere in the ward would melt away Jiajia's inner pain.

Arriving at the parking lot outside the hospital, I have to say that the Mazda MX-5 is still a pretty good sports car in this day and age. After getting in the car, we drove all the way to the vicinity of the headquarters. You can't just park this kind of car smugly at the entrance.

Zhang Yang didn't receive a call from Wang Ye, so he planned to wait a while. Unexpectedly, Wang Ye came downstairs in less than five minutes.

She was still wearing the same outfit as this morning, but her makeup seemed a bit more refined, and she couldn't really tell that she was being arrogant.

After Wang Ye got into the carriage, he said, "Are you wondering how I knew you were coming?"

Zhang Yang nodded, his palms slightly sweaty.

Wang Ye said, "Your parking spot is right downstairs from my office, that's why I saw you."

"Let's go get something to eat first."

Zhang Yang swallowed hard, wondering if he had enough money in his pocket to cover his expenses.

Seeing that Zhang Yang wasn't driving, Wang Ye said, "Just grab something to eat, don't worry, I'm not going to eat you, okay?"

"OK, OK," Zhang Yang said with a smile, "I'm just a little nervous." The smile was stiff.
