IN THIS LESSON
ID: 1700 Upper Intermediate
The story continues, and we learn in this episode that Detective Li is an eccentric man who may be hiding a few secrets. We also take a break from the murder cases as our favorite Chinese Sherlock turns his powers of deduction to the antics of some naughty neighborhood kids. [上集答案：暗号是“五木：朝阳区”。其中，“五木”就是森林公园；冒号是2点钟；“朝”是十月十日；“朝阳”指早晨、凌晨；“区”从字形上看，就是指东边出口。所以暗号隐藏的内容就是 —— 十月十日凌晨2点，森林公园东边出口。]

但是让她关注更多的则是她的直接上司李探长矮矮的身材秃秃的头发过时的花衬衫李探长究竟是怎样一个人

However, what she took even more notice of was her immediate superior, Detective Li. His short stature, bald head and out of fashion Hawaiian shirt - what kind of person was Detective Li, really?
另外还有一件事让小尤搞不明白就是李探长有时会打开自己办公桌的抽屉低着头像在思考着什么但一有人靠近他又马上把抽屉关上并锁住李探长的抽屉里有什么秘密

Also, there was something else Xiao You couldn't wrap her head around. Sometimes Detective Li would open his desk drawer and lower his head as though he were contemplating something. However, whenever someone would come close, he would immediately lock up his desk. What secrets were hiding in Detective Li's desk drawer?
