Chapter 3 Reconnect
Although their police stations also have their own fixed working hours, when they encounter a case, they are constantly turning.
Lin Xi had arrived home late the day before, had not slept well for almost the whole night, and had to hand in the case report the next day.
"Eh, boss, why are you here so early today?" Gao Jun shook into the office with breakfast, and saw that Lin Xi was already sitting at his desk and tapping on the keyboard for a while.
"Wake up early, there's nothing to do at home, it's better to come to the unit early to finish the case closure report. ”
The kettle next to it gurgled and gurged......
As soon as Yang Peiman walked into the office, he asked about the taste of Laotan sauerkraut noodles: "Yo, Mr. Lin, eat instant noodles early in the morning, I should say whether you are free or not nutritious these days." ”
Hearing Yang Pei's screaming Teacher Lin, Lin Xi almost coughed up the noodles in his mouth.
I still remember that at the beginning of the year, Yang Peiman came to their department as an intern and called him Teacher Lin seriously, Jin Moxuan didn't laugh to death, patted him on the back and said, "Can you still be a teacher?", in the end, Lin Xi couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Yang Peiman to say, "Let's call Team Lin." ”
During the lunch break, Xing Ju asked Lin Xi to go to his office, and the two talked about their recent work, and then said a couple of homely sentences.
Lin Xi likes to call him Xing Zhutou: "Xing Zhutou, don't worry, my dad has to retire this year, isn't this my inheritance job." ”
"I didn't expect that Lin Xiaoxi, who was naughty and mischievous before, is now so reliable. Xing Wei patted Lin Xi on the shoulder.
"Xing Zhutou, let me ask you something, it's about Wei Yin. ”
"Wei Yin, why did you suddenly think of him?"
"I recently met his daughter, and I felt that it had been so long that I couldn't give her a result. ”
"And what do you want to ask?"
"Why didn't the suspect be found in the case back then?"
"The poisoning death of Wei Yin and his wife at home can be said to be the biggest case that the in-service police have ever seen that year, there is no evidence at the scene to prove that it was him/killed, but everywhere people feel that it is definitely not self-killing, Wei Yin's power in T City makes him have enemies, but in terms of Wei Yin's ability, it makes no sense to be taken advantage of at home, he is not a person who likes and dislikes, we think that the reason for his killing is also speculated from theory, there is no evidence. ”
"Is this case my father's involvement?"
"Because it was a major case that happened in T City, your father and I were both transferred from the city bureau back then, and your father can be said to have followed from beginning to end, and he knows some things better than me. ”
Lin Xi scratched his chin with his fingers: "Xing Zhutou, thank you." ”
It seems that he is going to go back and ask his father about this matter.
As soon as Lin Xi returned to the office, he received a call from Lin Yezhong, Lin Xi's mother would fly home in the afternoon, and his aunt would come to the house for dinner in the evening, so he would go back early.
When he was about to get off work, Jin Moxuan asked him if he wanted to have dinner together.
Lin Xi waved his hand: "I'm going to my parents today, my mother is back today." ”
"Auntie is back, then you can go back quickly after work. ”
Lin Xi originally wanted to pick up the plane, but he didn't expect to be preempted by his father, and in front of his own mother, the two of them were courteous.
When Lin Xi opened the door, he could already smell the aroma of vegetables, Comrade Lin Yezhong was busy in the kitchen, and his mother was chatting with his aunt's family.
"Lin Xi is back, come and say hello. ”
Lin Xi changed his slippers and walked over to say hello one by one, his aunt has a cousin who has a good relationship with him and is still studying.
"Xiaoxi, you go to see your father, he doesn't know if he can do it alone. Wu Youyou was a little worried.
"Good. ”
Lin Xi opened the door of the kitchen, and there was the sound of the range hood and the oil in the pot, Lin Yezhong held a spatula and surrounded the apron, tsk, this is still the majestic Director Lin of the Municipal Bureau.
"You're out and out, and you're getting in the way of me here. Lin Yezhong frowned as soon as he saw Lin Xi come in.
"You're thinking too much, I'm here to help you. ”
"I don't need your help, I can do it alone. ”
Then Lin Xi watched Lin Yezhong scrambled alone, taking care of the knife in the pot, Lin Xi silently picked up the knife on the board and cut the potatoes into small pieces, helping to lay down.
Although Wu Youyou was a little worried, she didn't expect her husband to be able to cook so many dishes, it seems that she is away all the year round, and her husband can take good care of his son.
The parents at the table were short, and Dad Lin watched everyone taste the dishes he cooked, especially the evaluation of his wife, Lin Xi held back a smile, his father seemed to be asking for credit, what the hell.
"My son is going to take the college entrance examination in another year, some time ago they took the sophomore exam in high school, and the results have not gone up yet, we are preparing for the art exam, singing and dancing are not very good, and now a painting can pass, but you said that there is only more than this year now, I am really anxious. "Aunt Wu Qianqian is obviously very bad.
"The college entrance examination is very important, and our family Xiaoxi also went up in the last year, and the boy has accumulated a lot of money. ”
"Some time ago, Douzi's art teacher took a long vacation at home, and at a critical moment, the teacher dropped the chain. ”
Wu Youyou patted his sister's hand: "Don't worry, now that social resources are so developed, I'll help you pay attention to it, and contact you as soon as you find a good teacher." ”
Lin Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Auntie, I know an art teacher who specializes in teaching art examination students. ”
Lin Yezhong put down the bowl and looked at him: "Don't mislead people's children." ”
"I'm not a mistaken child, my friend is a teacher candidate. ”
"Xiaoxi, is it reliable?" Aunt Wu Qianqian's eyes lit up.
"I've known her for a long time, I can make an appointment for you to come out and meet. ”
"That's great, thanks to you. Wu Qianqian seemed to have found a life-saving straw to save her unsuccessful baby, "Douzi, hurry up and review the cultural class during this time, and there will be plenty of time to learn to paint later." ”
Dou Yifei nodded straight.
......
After the meal, Wu Youyou was peeling fruit and continued to chat with his sister, and the father and son stood on the balcony and smoked.
Lin Xi still remembers the slap when he learned to smoke when he was a child, but now Comrade Lin Yezhong took the initiative to take out a box of cigarettes and join him.
The two of them didn't spend a long time alone, they used to be busy with their father's work, but now since Lin Xi retired from the army and joined the police, the work at hand has not stopped, and after work, they moved out to live alone, and there are fewer opportunities for the two of them to communicate, and the two of them are silently smoking on the balcony and not talking.
It was Lin Xi who broke the silence first: "Mom came back this time, what are your plans after that." ”
Lin Yezhong spit out a wisp of white smoke: "I won't go out when I come back this time, she herself is getting older, so she won't run around, and the future work will be left to the young children to continue to support, and before she came back, three big hospitals in T City threw olive branches to her and hired her as the chief physician." ”
"That's right, you retire this year, and your mother can be at home again. ”
"It's not certain whether it can be refunded this year. ”
Lin Xi snuffed out the cigarette butt: "What, I won't let you go when you are old?" Hurry up and retire, and leave the rest to me." ”
"You kid is looking forward to my retirement so much, is it that no one will be staring at you if I am not in the city bureau. ”
Lin Xi put his hand on his father's shoulder: "Haha, Dad, don't think about it too much, I know that when I was young, I didn't give you much trouble, but now, you can rest assured." ”
Lin Xi is telling the truth, although my father is really good at criminal investigation, it is time to rest when he is old.
Lin Yezhong snorted lightly, and then laughed.
"Husband, son, come and eat fruit. Wu Youyou greeted them in the living room.
Originally, the aunt's family was going to take a taxi home, but Lin Xi thought that she was going home too, so she just happened to drop them back.
"Thank you so much, Xiaoxi, I can still ask you about the art exam teacher on the way. ”
In the car, Wu Qianqian asked about tuition, but Lin Xi didn't know, so he proposed to meet this weekend to get to know each other.
Dou Yifei sat in the back row, climbed to the front seat and asked, "Brother, this teacher is a man and a woman." ”
"It's a female teacher. ”
"Then isn't this teacher beautiful?"
Then he was slapped in the back by his mother, and he was muttered: "If you don't focus on studying, you will care about whether others look good or not." ”
Lin Xi suddenly smiled: "Beautiful, very beautiful." ”
"That's good, my former teacher was not very old, but he was bald. ”
Dou Yifei giggled in the back seat, and it was much easier along the way.
It was already late when Lin Xi got home, and after taking a shower, he lay on the sofa and turned on the TV, so that the family could have some sound, and he took the remote control to change the station, and suddenly remembered something.
Wei Chenwan was walking by her little kitten, and the sound of text messages came from her mobile phone, she didn't pay much attention to it, and now the text messages received on her mobile phone are nothing more than various preferential notices or package tips from communication companies.
She put the cat on her lap and touched its belly.
Wei Chenwan pinched its soft meat pad: "Wei Xiaoxiao, why are your nails growing again?"
Wei Xiaoxiao seemed to be served very comfortably, obediently stretched out his claws and didn't make a fuss at all, and after cutting his nails, he still stuck to Wei Chenwan's legs and refused to come down.
According to the usual practice, Wei Ziang talks to Wei Chenwan on the phone almost every week, no matter what he talks about, he just wants to hear his sister's voice.
After the phone was turned off, Wei Chenwan saw a small red circle on the text message notification, and clicked the red circle, which is the best treatment for an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
A strange number sent: Are you available for a weekend night?
Harassing text messages?
I just wanted to delete it, but I received another message on WeChat, to be precise, it was a friend application, maybe the other party was in a more anxious mood, and wrote in the remarks column: Add me quickly, Lin Xi.
Wei Chen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly passed the application, and just after passing, he received several messages in a row.
"Are you there? Sleeping, are you free for weekend nights?"
Straight male trifecta.
"Yes, I didn't sleep, I was free. ”
Lin Xi received Wei Chenwan's reply, and sat up from the sofa with a moment's effort.
"I have a cousin who will take the college entrance examination next year, and now he is looking for an art teacher for the art exam, so I want to bring him to you to see. ”
"Yes, I get out of class at 4 p.m. on weekends and can meet. Wei Chenwan sent the address of the classroom to Lin Xi.
"Okay. ”
The expression on Lin Xi's face was overflowing, and he sent a message to Wu Qianqian.
Wei Chenwan thought for a while and asked him, "Why do you have my phone?"
"The last time you made a record, you registered, and I wrote it down. "It can be said that it was saved in my phone for the first time.
On the weekend, Lin Xi arrived a little before Wu Qianqian, wandering around the fourth floor of the teaching building, and saw Wei Chenwan in the last classroom, looking through the glass on the door, there were not many students in the classroom, all supporting the drawing board, painting plaster statues.
Wei Chenwan pinned her hair behind her ears and stood behind a student to guide the proportions with a pencil.
Lin Xi looked at her in plain clothes, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes in Galai, he really wouldn't have been able to associate Wei Chenwan with Galai's fox, who could have seen this.
Lin Xi retracted some of his thoughts, walked to the end of the corridor and opened the window, took out a cigarette, and waited for his aunt and cousin.
With a cigarette, the classroom behind him began to walk out of the students one after another, everyone walked out with their bags and chatting, and from time to time there were girls looking at him here, and then talking secretly.
Wei Chenwan was tidying up some things in the classroom, and Wu Qianqian rushed over with her son.
"Hey, Wei Chenwan. Lin Xi called her at the door of the classroom.
"Lin Xi, you wait a minute, I'll put everything away. ”
Dou Yifei couldn't stop smiling when he saw Wei Chenwan, patted his cousin, and then raised a thumbs up.
Wei Chenwan walked out of the classroom: "Lin Xi, I've been waiting for a while, I'm sorry." ”
"No, no, I just came, by the way, let me introduce you. Lin Xi turned sideways, "Auntie, this is my friend Wei Chenwan." ”
"Douzi, call Teacher Wei quickly. Wu Qianqian pushed Dou Yifei with her arm.
"Wei Chenwan, this is my aunt, and my cousin Dou Yifei. ”
Wei Chenwan nodded kindly.
The four of them briefly communicated in the classroom, Wei Chenwan saw the previous works of Dou Yifei learning art and painting, and said that there would be no problem as long as he practiced hard this year, and then informed the process of the next year, as well as the art examination training in the second half of the year.
Wu Qianqian thanked Wei Chenwan well, hoping to guide her beans more, Wei Chenwan reassured her that the child was talented.
After Wu Qianqian flew away with Dou Yi, another teacher in the next classroom poked his head.
"Chenwan, I'm going to ask you to borrow teaching aids for tomorrow's class. ”
"Okay, I'll get it for you. ”
Wei Chenwan went back to the classroom to find teaching aids, and the other teacher on the side smiled evilly and bumped her on the shoulder.
"Xiaowan, is it a boyfriend? ”
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Teacher Xiaofan, why are you so gossipy, he is not my boyfriend." Then he stuffed the teaching aid into the other person's hand, "Okay, I'll go first, bye-bye." ”
Teacher Xiaofan still couldn't help but smile gossipily and watched Wei Chenwan walk away.
"Lin Xi, let's go. ”
"Shall I send you back, or do we have a meal together?" Before Wei Chenwan could answer, he said first, "Then let's go eat first." ”
Wei Chenwan raised her eyebrows: "It's okay." ”
"Hot pot in the south of the city?"
"Okay, okay. As soon as Wei Chenwan heard that she was eating hot pot, her eyes lit up.
"Do you want to go home and feed the cat first?" Lin Xi suddenly remembered that there was a cat owner in her house to serve.
"It's okay, I'll go back and feed it after eating. ”
Lin Xi drove to the hot pot restaurant.
"My cousin will trouble you this time. ”
"That's what I teach, it's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, children are talented, they learn quickly, no problem. ”
There was silence in the car for a long time.
"Wei Chenwan, you ......"
Suzu –
Lin Xi's mobile phone rang at an inopportune time, he glanced at the incoming call and turned on the Bluetooth in the car.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Boss, murder. ”
