Chapter 1: The Strange Father

"Director, Captain Liu's family is old and young, and my sister-in-law has just given birth, in case there are three long and two short, how can I live in the future, so, let me go this undercover operation......"

"You're still a recent graduate, are you sure you can handle the burden?"

"Director, I think I'm more suitable than Captain Liu, most of Yan Xueli's horses are about the same age as me, let me go undercover, but I can gain Yan Xueli's trust better than Captain Liu......"

"Xiaolin, I'd better think about it again!"

"Director, you don't have to think about it anymore, I'm an orphan and not married, no one is more suitable than me......"

……

"Xiao Lin, why don't you have to go undercover, don't you know that what your brother Li's hates the most is undercover? Come on, send Officer Lin on the road......

"Yan Xueli, my colleague will avenge me......"

"Brother Lin, don't blame us ......"

"Bang ......"

……

"Ahh

Lin Xiuyi, who was shocked into a cold sweat, sat up from the tatami mat in shock, his hair was already soaked with sweat, he gasped heavily, trying his best to calm his emotions.

As soon as Lin Xiu looked at the bright moon outside the window, apart from his own wheezing in the room, only the ticking of the clock was left, it was another nightmare!

Lin Xiu fell back onto the tatami with open arms, at this time he didn't feel any sleepiness at all, he habitually picked up his mobile phone to check the time, but found that the mobile phone had long been out of battery.

When you have insomnia, if you don't have a mobile phone, it is a very painful thing, Lin Xiuyi stood up helplessly and connected the mobile phone to the charger. As the charging prompt light changed from emergency red to yellow in the normal state, Lin Xiuyi could finally turn it back on.

Just when Lin Xiuyi just turned on his phone, an unread message suddenly appeared on the screen of his phone.

"Dear Mr. Hayashi Shuichi, I'm sorry to bother you, I am a staff member of the Residents' Committee of Hiranai Town, Aomori Prefecture, and we regret to inform you that your father unfortunately passed away due to illness, and we hope that you can contact us as soon as possible so that we can deal with some of the relics left behind by your father's death......" Lin Xiuyi read this message over and over again, from the shock at the beginning to the dazed after accepting the reality, Lin Xiuyi experienced a very complex emotional change.

The role of father, whether it is for Lin Xiu or for Lin Xiuyi, is a very unfamiliar concept, Lin Xiu has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has never experienced the warmth from his father in his short life, and Lin Xiuyi's last memory of his father only stayed before he was six years old.

When Lin Xiuyi was very young, his father chose to run away from home because of a huge debt that he could not repay, and his mother took Lin Xiuyi back to her hometown of Kagoshima in desperation, and lived an incognito life. At that time, Lin Xiuyi's mother was still very young, and because her husband had no news, it didn't take long for Lin Xiuyi's mother to choose to remarry and go to Hokkaido to run a hotel, while Lin Xiuyi was fostered at his grandmother's house in Kagoshima.

Fortunately, Lin Xiuyi's grandmother treated him well, and under the protection of his grandmother, Lin Xiuyi spent elementary school, middle school, and university in Kagoshima, but Lin Xiuyi's grandmother eventually died before he could graduate from college. Now in Kagoshima, apart from the old house where he once lived with his grandmother, Lin Shuichi has nothing to worry about.

"What the hell is Hiranai Town, Aomori Prefecture?" Lin Shuyi opened the map software on his mobile phone and retrieved the specific location according to the information sent in the message.

"It's not close to Tokyo, but I didn't expect it to be very close to Hokkaido, and the town of Hiranai seems to be a small village on the coast of Aomori Prefecture, separated from the city of Hakodate in Hokkaido by the Tsugaru Strait......

Lin Xiuyi couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply climbed to the desk, turned on the computer, and began to prepare for the leave procedures that he would hand over to his boss tomorrow - to search for the leave procedures of Junichi Oiwa, the head of the first class, in addition, Lin Xiuyi also had to reply to the staff of the Heinai Town Residents' Committee to thank him, and when all this was processed, it was already time to go to work in the morning.

Lin Xiu, who had been busy all night, did not feel any tiredness until this time, he stretched his waist and stood up from the desk, rubbed his legs, which were a little numb from sitting for a long time, and then picked up toiletries and walked into the bathroom.

For his father, who has not seen him for more than ten years, Lin Xiuyi is a little curious at this moment. However, Lin Xiuyi did not feel particularly sad about the death of his father. In the final analysis, Lin Xiuyi is too strange to his father. Not only his father, but Lin Shuichi's impression of his mother is also the same, after all, he only thinks of his mother when he receives a gift from Hokkaido every New Year.

The last time Lin Xiuyi saw his mother was at the funeral of his grandmother when he was in college. Since Lin Xiuyi and his mother hadn't seen each other for many years, they didn't know what to say to each other. At that time, Hayashi's mother told him that if he didn't want to stay in Kagoshima, he could go to Hokkaido to find her. Although Lin Xiuyi did not explicitly refuse at that time, since then, he has already begun to prepare for the first-class civil service examination.

Lin Shuichi came to the Metropolitan Police Department as usual, and after explaining to Miki that he might take leave to go to Aomori to deal with some personal matters, he spent another morning dealing with the work at hand in the special search department.

After lunch, Lin Xiuyi, who had finally finished handling his work affairs, handed over the materials for leave to his boss, Section Chief Oiwa. For this kind of bereavement leave, Section Chief Dayan naturally will not do business, in addition to the vacation that Lin Xiuyi should enjoy, Section Chief Dayan also gave Lin Xiuyi ten more days of vacation, and asked Lin Xiuyi to mourn. In this way, Lin Xiuyi will have nearly a month to deal with his father's funeral.

After leaving from Section Chief Oiwa, Lin Xiuyi explained to Miki and his familiar colleagues that he was going to deal with the funeral, and then packed up some personal belongings and left the unit early.

The distance from Tokyo to Aomori is too far, and it will take more than ten hours to take the Shinkansen, so Hayashi naturally hoped to be able to fly, but when he called the airline to inquire, there were no tickets left for the last few days. The funeral cannot be delayed in any way, and since the ticket cannot be booked, it seems that the only way to do this is to take the Shinkansen.

……

Hayashi Shuichi, who had left his home with his packed salutes, rushed to Kichijoji Station again, and began his long journey on a train that was diametrically opposite to weekdays.
