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。]

压迫感 yāpò gǎn feeling of stress
当晚，李探长和小尤他们顺利地抓到了宋五木和刘梅，而且是人赃俱获。
dāngwǎn ，Lǐ tànzhǎng hé Xiǎo Yóu tāmen shùnlì de zhuādào le Sòng Wǔmù hé Liú Méi ，érqiě shì rénzāngjùhuò 。
That night, Detective Li and Xiao You's capture of Song Wumu and Liu Mei went without a hitch. They also obtained the drugs.
一连破获两起案件，小尤真正地感受到了和警校不一样的紧张气氛和压迫感。
yī lián pòhuò liǎng qǐ ànjiàn ，XiǎoYóu zhēnzhèng de gǎnshòu dào le hé jǐngxiào bù yīyàng de jǐnzhāng qìfēn hé yāpògǎn 。
Solving two cases in a row, Xiao You was truly able to experience the stress and pressure of working in the real world.
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？
dànshì ，ràng tā guānzhù gèngduō de zéshì tā de zhíjiēshàngsi ，Lǐ tànzhǎng 。ǎiǎi de shēncái ，tūtū de tóufa ，guòshí de huāchènshān ，Lǐ tànzhǎng jiūjìng shì zěnyàng yī ge rén ？
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？
lìngwài ，háiyǒu yī jiàn shì ràng Xiǎo Yóu gǎo bu míngbái ，jiùshì Lǐ tànzhǎng yǒushí huì dǎkāi zìjǐ bàngōngzhuō de chōuti ，dī zhe tóu xiàng zài sīkǎo zhe shénme 。dàn yī yǒurén kàojìn ，tā yòu mǎshàng bǎ chōuti guānshàng bìng suǒ zhù 。Lǐ tànzhǎng de chōuti lǐ yǒu shénme mìmì ？
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?
