Chapter 8: Matters of the Heart

There was an incident in his heart, so much so that Lin Xi sent a lot of WeChat messages to Xing Ju after returning home.

Xing Weida finally fell asleep at night, and the mobile phone on the bedside table frantically came with a WeChat prompt sound, which made him frown, and he wanted to wait for a while to stop and leave it alone, who knew that the WeChat prompt sound would always sound one second before falling asleep.

The wife who was sleeping next to him kicked over, Xing Wei sat up angrily, and muttered: "I'm annoyed with Lao Tzu." ”

As soon as I took the phone and opened it, these WeChat messages were all from the same person - Lin Xi.

Okay, he made a note of it.

clicked on WeChat, Lin Xi's every sentence was very short, saying that he had something to say to him, Xing Wei didn't see what the specific thing he wanted to say for a long time, and finally said, "It's too late, good night Xingju." ”

Okay, if you know it's so late and send him a message, the crime will be added to the crime!

For this matter, Lin Xi sat in the office early this morning and waited for the Xing Bureau.

Yang Peiman yawned and walked into the office and saw Lin Xi already sitting in the office.

"Team Elin, there's no class for you today, right?"

Lin Xi was stunned, I'll go, why didn't he even forget about the shift, there was no class for him today.

Forget it, he still has business to do.

"I know, I have something to find Xing Ju, it's okay, you guys are busy with you. ”

Xing Ju walked into the office with a circle of cyan in his eyes, and Lin Xi walked over and knocked on the office door without eyesight.

Xing Wei saw that it was Lin Xi, and the anger that he didn't sleep well last night came to the peak in an instant, but he still suppressed the anger and asked Lin Xi very reservedly.

"Lin Xi, you sent me so many messages last night, is there anything important?"

The implication is that if it weren't for anything important, Lin Xi's kid would be dead.

"Xing Zhutou, I do have something very important, but I need to discuss this matter with you. ”

Xing Wei boiled a pot of water and prepared to make tea.

"Tell me, it's rare that your kid still came to discuss things with me. ”

Lin Xi sat on the stool in front of Xing Wei's desk and said: "That's the case, our criminal investigation team solved the case yesterday, but the process of solving the case was not very good, the evidence and monitoring could not be found, and even almost let the suspect run away, this is indeed my dereliction of duty, I know that my ability is still limited, I ......"

"Getting to the point. Xing Wei didn't have the patience to listen to his running account.

"I'm here to talk to you about Wei Chenwan. ”

"Wei Chenwan, the daughter of the Wei family?" Hearing this name, Xing Wei raised his eyes.

"Yes. ”

"She's related to this criminal case?"

"Relevant, but not directly relevant. ”

"Hmm? ”

"When I solved the case, I was stuck in a bottleneck, and I just went to her with the attitude of giving it a try and asked her to help paint the portrait. ”

Lin Xi took out the picture in his mobile phone, which was a comparison between the suspect and the portrait, and showed it to Xing Ju.

Xing Wei carefully looked at the picture on his phone and looked at Lin Xi with some doubts.

"She's a witness?"

"No, she has nothing to do with the case, it's a portrait I drew after I told her the details of the case. ”

"So, you mean ......"

"I mean, is it possible to let Wei Chenwan be the portrait consultant, Xing Zhutou, I don't know if this Fu is not compliant, so I came to discuss with you. ”

"She's from a professional background?"

"No, she's very good at drawing. ”

Xing Ju fell into deep thought, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and his face did not change color even after being scalded by boiling water.

"Lin Xi, I'm afraid this matter is difficult. ”

"Xing Zhutou, I know it's difficult, so I'm not here to beg you, and I'm not from a professional background, but you ...... it. ”

"I'll just tell you this, first, she is not from a professional class and has no long-term experience, and second, you know the background of their family, and our internal system may not be able to pass this level. ”

This time it was Lin Xi's turn to be silent.

"Xing Zhutou, can you play a side game, at a technical level, she has this ability without studying criminal investigation, shouldn't she pay more attention to it, psychological portrait is inherently difficult, how many people can't produce a good painter, we should cherish talents, so I want to give her a chance to play a role. ”

"Let me think about it again. ”

Knowing that Xing Ju listened to his words, Lin Xi didn't say anything more.

"Lin Xi, you are really strange, you have been very concerned about their family affairs since you were a child. ”

Lin Xi laughed: "I used to think she was pitiful, her parents died when she was a child, but now she feels that the world is unfair to their family, once you put on colored glasses, it is difficult to take them off, and some things become true by false rumors, I want to avenge her grievances." ”

Xing Wei thought he was interesting, and remembered another thing to talk to Lin Xi.

"Lin Xi, your dad probably won't be able to retire this year. ”

"Why?"

"Because we cherish talents, the city bureau doesn't want to let go of your father, an experienced old policeman, and your father may have to be rehired. ”

Lin Xi sighed, it seems that he can't get out of the clutches of his father in the past two years.

Lin Xi didn't rush to leave after coming out of Xing Wei's office, but returned to his office, and Yang Peiman looked confused when he saw him again.

"Team Lin, are you going to change shifts?"

"No, no, I'll just stay here for a while. ”

Yang Peiman thought in his heart, our Lin team's consciousness is really high, and it is not easy to take a turn to rest and not leave in the team.

Lin Xi took out his mobile phone and found a WeChat group, the name is "No One at Home", this is the WeChat group of their old Lin family, there are three people in total, it is him and his parents.

At the beginning, the name of this group was given by Lin Xi, why is it called "no one at home", because the nature of Ms. Wu Youyou's work is away all the year round, and Lin Yezhong always doesn't go home to solve the case, Lin Xi is a soldier in the army, and naturally there is no one at home.

He took a look at Lin Yezhong in the WeChat group.

Lin Xi: Dad, get off work normally today?

After a while, Lin Yezhong replied: Yes.

Lin Xi: Then I'll come back for dinner today.

Lin Yezhong: I'm sorry, I don't have your food at home.

Lin Xi: ???

Wu Youyou: It's a good thing that my son is coming home, what's the matter with you?

Wu Youyou: Son, then I'll cook what you like to eat at night.

Lin Yezhong: ???

Lin Xi looked at the phone and laughed, really satisfied.

In the evening, Lin Xi stepped back home, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of food.

"Mom, I'm back. ”

"Son, wash your hands, my soup is almost ready. Wu Youyou's voice came from the kitchen.

Lin Xi washed his hands and poked his head at the kitchen door: "Eh, where is my dad?"

"I'm back, in the study. ”

Lin Xi knocked on the door of the study, then pushed the door in, and saw Lin Yezhong wearing a pair of glasses and writing something.

"Dad, it's almost time to eat, what are you doing?"

"You think I'm as idle as you are, and I have some reports to submit. ”

Lin Xi patted his head: "Eh, my closing report hasn't been written yet." ”

Lin Yezhong stopped the pen in his hand, took off his glasses, looked up at Lin Xi and said, "I heard that the case was just solved yesterday?"

"Hmm. ”

"Is it going well?"

"It's kind of ...... Go well. ”

Lin Yezhong saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "What, do you have something to tell me?"

"There's something I want to tell you, but wait until you're done. ”

Lin Yezhong nodded, stood up, and followed Lin Xi back to the living room.

During the meal, Wu Youyou asked Lin Xi a lot of things, starting from when she was not at home, and asking about what happened recently.

My son is a criminal police officer like her husband, and sometimes the cases that occur will be dangerous, Wu Youyou constantly told Lin Xi to pay attention to safety.

"Son, you must be careful and careful, don't get hurt like your father. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lin Yezhong was not happy, and retorted: "I am not injured, this is glory, this is meritorious, it is for the traces left by the people, this is what a man should be." ”

"Just you can talk. As soon as Wu Youyou said it, Lin Yezhong didn't dare to squeak.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine, I was the all-round king of martial arts when I was in the army, I'm not afraid. ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, I don't want to run into you in the hospital. ”

After dinner, the two of them were still on the balcony, and this time Lin Xi took the initiative to take out a pack of cigarettes and handed them to Lin Yezhong.

Lin Yezhong squinted at Lin Xi and said, "How much is your monthly salary now, and you smoke this Great China every day?"

"Every day, I'm improving the quality of life. ”

Lin Xi handed over cigarettes and lit cigarettes, and waited for his father to be comfortable, so he began to speak.

"Dad, I heard that I still can't retire this year?"

"Listen to your Uncle Xing?"

"Well, I happened to go to him today, and Xing Zhutou told me, saying that the city will not let people go, and he will re-hire you. ”

"Mu Wu is the elder, Xing Zhutou is also called by you?"

"I'm not kidding. ”

"Come back to me and have something to say, that's it?"

"Of course not, then I don't have to have a foreshadowing to lead to the following. ”

"Okay, don't talk, get down to business. ”

Lin Xi didn't hide it either.

"Dad, I want to ask you about the Wei family back then, and the Xing Bureau said that you were one of the policemen who handled the case at that time. ”

Lin Yezhong took a puff of cigarette, and he didn't know what was flashing in his eyes.

"Dad, after so many years, can't you still say about this matter?"

"It's just that I'm not ready to recall it in its entirety, so to speak. ”

Lin Yezhong finished his entire cigarette before he began to speak.

"That day, we received a call from the police, it was Wei Ziang, we immediately ran to the scene, Wei Ziang and his sister were there, so to speak, the two of them directly witnessed the death of their parents. I was the main police officer who handled the case at the beginning, and when I walked to the scene, I couldn't believe that it was Wei Yin and his wife who died, the scene was so clean that there was almost no evidence pointing to his murder, and the criminal investigation methods at that time were not developed, there was no evidence to prove that they were homicides, and the state of the scene was very similar to the state of suicide, and in the end, suicide could only be located. ”

Father Lin seemed to think of something sad, and his expression was difficult to recall.

"But I know that Wei Yin will definitely not kill himself. ”

"Why do you say that?" Lin Xi looked at his father.

"You were just born that year, I was at home with your mother, and then I met Wei Yin, he said that his wife was pregnant again, and it was a daughter, he said that he was going to have a daughter, I remember vividly, Wei Yin is a person who is not good at expressing himself, but he was very excited to tell me that he was going to have a daughter, and he would give the best everything to his daughter, that kind of look is vividly reflected in a father. Tell me, how could he kill himself with such a person?"

"Well, could it be something that happened later? ”

"Many of us thought so at the time, but I was relatively familiar with Wei Yin, Wei Yin's business was very big, but he also offended a lot of people, in order to smooth out these things, he may have done something that was not very popular, but he was not a ruthless and unrighteous person, our police know that Wei Yin actually abides by the law and even does a lot of charity. When you were born, he wrapped a big red envelope and sent it over, but I didn't dare to accept it, so he exchanged the money for very expensive baby products and sent it over. He genuinely wanted to treat everyone as a friend. But the world doesn't know, they only know one and don't know the other, and they think that Wei Yin ended up in this fate because of his late delay, but in my eyes, this is not the case at all. ”

"But I have no evidence, I can't find evidence, I can't catch the murderer, I can't give an account to his two children. And these two children are pitiful, I don't know why, Wei Yin has been dead for so many years, and the two of them will always be implicated inexplicably, and I don't know the details. ”

Lin Xi's hand clenched into a fist, this was the first time his father had told him these things so formally.

"Dad, so in your impression, Wei Yin's case was killed by him. ”

"Yes, I can't imagine how a person who is so hopeful about life could commit suicide with his wife and leave behind a pair of children. ”

"Unfortunately, there is no evidence. ”

Lin Yezhong acquiesced with a sigh.

"Why did you kid remember this?"

"Because I'm ...... I recently ran into Wei Chenwan. ”

Wei Chenwan ...... Just the girl who wants to go to the same school with her?"

Lin Xi's face was black, isn't this a pot that can't be opened.

"I don't think you seem to have much contact with your family before, why did you remember this incident as soon as you met it this time?"

"Actually, I wanted to ask you before, but I don't have a suitable identity, and it just so happens that the art teacher introduced to Douzi this time is her, so I remember that we were quite familiar with each other before. ”

"She can draw?"

"Well, and it's pretty well drawn. ”

Lin Xi didn't tell Lin Yezhong what he told Xing Ju, and he hadn't written a word yet, so it was no good to say this in advance.

"Lin Xi, you won't be ......"

"No, not what you think. ”

Lin Yezhong didn't say the word "like", and was denied by Lin Xi.

Lin Yezhong glanced at Lin Xi very skeptically and said: "You know that there is a saying called 'knowing a son is better than a father', I didn't believe it at first, but then I believed it, Lin Xi, you can take me as a lesson from the past, and in the future, you may have to say that I am like a god." ”

Lin Xi's mind was chaotic when he heard it, what he knew about his son as his father, what he learned from the past, and what he knew like a god.

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. With that, he walked out of the balcony and went back to the living room.

Lin Yezhong looked at the back of Lin Xi leaving, and shook his head, from the time this stupid boy was inspirational to take the high school entrance examination, he felt that something was wrong.

Lin Xi left his parents and drove home, and after driving home, he had a lot of things in his heart.

What did he have to do to win this opportunity for Wei Chenwan.
