In the middle of the night, the street lamps stretch the figures. In the quiet of the night, the sound of water on the side of the street can be heard clearly.

Lin Chen and Xing Conglian walked on the stone road, it was only past seven o'clock in the evening, and most of the small shops on the street were closed, in a sense, Hongjing was really a very unproductive city.

Yanjia Lane is still a little narrow and a little long, but the only thing that has changed is the shops on both sides of the alley

According to Xing Conglian, during the time he left, the city government renovated Yanjia Lane, and the houses on both sides were renovated and rented out to students who wanted to start a business in the art industry, so some of the old houses on the street were turned into coffee shops and teahouses, and some became painting studios or handicraft studios. The original yellowed walls are covered by fences and flowers, and cats can be seen resting in the floor-to-ceiling windows from time to time, and the old streets are also warm and humane.

The yellowish light reflected the old door number, and in front of the old-fashioned wooden door, two people squatted pitifully, like two small animals waiting to be fed by their masters.

Xing Conglian stopped, looked at the two people at the door helplessly, and said, "You guys are like this, the neighbor next door will call the police when they see it." ”

A certain little comrade who was addicted to online games raised his head, his eyes shining: "Ah, what police?" Boss, why is your wifi turned off, I cracked the password next door and next door next door for you, can you let me in for a meal? ”

The other person who was squatting on the side did not speak for a long time.

Lin Chen looked down at him, only to see that the man's eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were stunned, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Hey, didn't you call Guò two days ago?" His tone was a little soft, and more of a helplessness.

Before he could finish speaking, the man jumped up and hugged him tightly: "Senior brother, don't scare me anymore!" ”

―――

Knowing that someone cares about you with all their heart, sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's a bond.

Lin Chen was pulled by Fu Hao's arm and entered the door together, his ears were full of Professor Fu's gushing complaints, he thought, this is probably the legendary coquettish?

The criminal conglian stood by the door, turned on the door light, and the moment the light came on, Professor Fu's nagging stopped abruptly.

In front of him is a classical courtyard, with a cobblestone path connecting the front door and the main hall, and on the left side of the courtyard is a pool of turquoise water, which shimmers with a cold floating light under the reflection of the lights.

Fu Hao was stunned for a long time, and finally spit out two words: "? ”

After he finished speaking, he took two steps back, walked out of the door, glanced at the door number, and then rushed into the door and grabbed the torture servant: "Why are you okay to enter other people's houses, as a public official, you don't know the law and break the law!" ”

Xing Conglian was also shocked, he looked at Lin Chen, with an expression of "What's wrong with your junior brother", Wang Dynasty had already rushed into the house first, quickly turned on the wireless network, rubbed his hands and prepared to fight again.

Lin Chen had no choice but to rub Fu Hao's head, and explained for the prisoner: "The renovation of the old street is a practical project of the municipal government. ”

"Practical projects are also for changing houses?"

"The room he used to live in was next door and rented to a gallery, so he moved here." Lin Chen repeated the explanation given by Xing Conglian.

Professor Fu was full of disbelief: "Just his dilapidated house, why did the government change this set for him, this is a garden, right?" As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the pond, where there were several elegant rockeries stacked on the edge of the pond, and the stone arch bridge spanned the water, only to see the bright red koi crossing the water, rippling layer by layer, "Senior brother, look, there are also koi fish!" ”

"Well, would you like to take a bow?" The torturer asked with a smile.

"Old criminal, let me tell you, you can't touch the money you shouldn't touch, you know?" Professor Fu suddenly turned his head with an awe-inspiring expression, "You must always remember your identity, and don't be knocked down by the sugar-coated cannonballs of capitalism." ”

Xing Conglian couldn't cry or laugh a little, and asked Lin Chen: "Your junior brother has changed careers to take political classes?" ”

"Old criminal, you are strict, you said that you are a criminal policeman and live in such a house, but you must not be known by Inspector Huang, otherwise you will have to take off three layers of skin if you don't die!" Fu Hao continued to speak bitterly.

Hearing that although he was chattering, his words were full of concern, Xing Conglian smiled and rubbed Fu Hao's hairstyle, which had been messed up by Lin Chen, and said sincerely: "Professor Fu, don't worry." ”

The three of them were talking by the pool, most of them were Fu Hao chattering, and Lin Chen and Xing Conglian teased him from time to time.

Suddenly, there was a wail in the main hall: "Boss, I'm hungry!" ”

"Instant noodles are in the first cabinet on the left hand side of the kitchen." The torturer raised his voice and sued the little comrades in the house.

"But I don't want to eat instant noodles anymore!" The dynasty continued to shout.

"Order takeout."

"I'm tired of eating takeout in the neighborhood."

The criminal congregate took Lin Chen and Fu Hao and walked into the main hall.

The little comrade of the dynasty was lying on the table, weak, looking like he had just lost the game and had nothing to love.

"What do you want?" The criminal servant asked.

Hearing this, Wang Chao's eyes lit up, his gaze fell on Lin Chen's face, and said, "Ah Chen, you cook for me, okay?" ”

Comrade Wang Chaoxiao, a police officer with rich experience in criminal investigation, has a solid factual basis for every word he says.

Among the four people present, needless to say, the torturer is a man who lives in braised beef noodles and spicy crayfish; Professor Fu lives in the school all the year round, and at first glance he looks like he has been poisoned by the canteen for many years; And Lin Chen, Lin Chen has always lived alone, and it is said that after a few years of hard life, the dishes must be done well.

Wang Chao licked his lips and said, "I really want to eat home-cooked food." ”

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the analysis of the dynasty, the only problem is that a man who is familiar with the various instant noodle flavors on the supermarket shelves does not have the materials to show his cooking skills at home.

Lin Chen stood in front of the sink, rinsing your wilted vegetables, and boiling hot instant noodles in the pot, well, it was still the taste of braised beef.

The convict leaned against the cooking table and said to the little comrade who was checking the refrigerator: "Don't look for it, you ate the last brine square leg the day before yesterday." ”

"Why don't you go grocery shopping!" The dynasty looked back angrily.

"Because I work hard every day." The criminal conglian replied as a matter of course.

Choked so speechless, Wang slammed the refrigerator door shut, and ran back to the computer in a rage, ready to continue killing two more sets.

Professor Fu took two steps back and gave way to him, his gaze still resting on the old-fashioned double-door refrigerator.

Just now, Professor Fu has already examined every corner of the main hall worriedly, how to say it, although the old mansion has been renovated, the doors and windows are exquisite and elegant, and the hall is also very magnificent, but on that piece of terrazzo floor tiles, except for the Eight Immortals table moved from the previous house, there is not even decent furniture.

The whole house, except for the empty, is still empty, and when he says a word, there is an echo for half a day, this situation and this scene made Professor Fu's heart let go of half of it, and when he saw the empty kitchen, and the old refrigerator in the corner, the other half of his heart was completely put down.

Comrade Lao Xing, it was really lucky, Professor Fu thought silently.

―――

The instant noodles with vegetables and eggs are still braised beef-flavored, and there are no new tricks.

After finishing dinner, in order to prevent Fu Hao from educating the criminal company on ideology and morality, Lin Chen took him to the balcony to drink tea.

The spring breeze is half cool but not cool, the balcony is facing the river, and the lights on both sides of the bank are reflected in the water, which makes it even more sparkling.

Professor Fu, who has seen the world anyway, is really sitting in the circle chair of *, holding a cup of hot tea, he is so comfortable that he wants to hum.

"Senior brother, have you made up your mind to stay here?" Professor Fu asked with a half-squinted gaze.

There was only the sound of running water all around, and it was very quiet.

"Hmm."

Lin Chen's faint nasal voice came, Fu Hao looked at his face, in fact, there were a lot of things to say, and there were many questions to ask, but he felt that he couldn't speak, and after a while, he had to say: "Then you must not be as reckless as before." ”

"Okay."

"Feng Peilin's incident, I understand that you want to cheat your life to escape from surveillance, although it is not a way to hide all the time, but it is better than you being so old." The calmer Lin Chenbiao became, the more Professor Fu's mother's nature was stimulated, "High-speed robbery, I know you also accidentally ran into it, no matter what, it's not realistic, but it's too dangerous, you can kill a carload of people at once, and dare to put a suction cup bomb under the police car, this is no longer bold to describe, okay, if it weren't for Huang Ze to suppress the matter, you would be famous again, if you were targeted by drug dealers again, what would you do." ”

Professor Fu was worried, and Lin Chen was helpless when he heard it, but he had to comfort him: "It's okay, the police have a witness protection system." ”

"You don't pay attention to this at all!" Professor Fu put down his teacup and raised his voice.

"But what do you want me to do?"

I don't know if the spring breeze is something else, Lin Chen's voice was a little soft, and when Fu Hao heard him say this, he felt that his heart was going to pinch up, and he hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's good to be like this now, you can live with the old criminal, in case there is any burglary and murder, he can also protect you." ”

The theme of the topic changed instantly, and I have to say that in terms of □□ junior and younger brothers, Consultant Lin still has some experience.

"When you say that, I always have a bad premonition."

"Hey, who called your brother really isn't your life very good?"

"Then Professor Fu, are there any transfer methods?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

"I think the old prisoner's luck seems to be good, you see the government repairs a street, he can change to such a good place to live, I heard that oh, some people's lives are blunt, just good fate, you quickly rub him, and his good luck is all gone."

"Okay." Lin Chen still smiled, he looked at the lights of thousands of homes on both sides of the riverbank, and said so.

Lin Chen didn't speak again, there was no other sound around except the sound of water, but Fu Hao felt unaccustomed, grabbed his hair, and suddenly remembered something: "That's right, senior brother, the day after tomorrow, the old man's sixtieth birthday, that ......"

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Fu Hao wanted to speak and stopped, Lin Chen knew that something was really going on again.

"Are you going?"

"What does Professor Fu mean, do you want me to go, or don't you want me to go?"

"No, of course I want you to go, even if I don't want to, the old man also wants to, it's just that our old man is full of peach and plums, and there will be a lot of classmates going there......"

"And then?"

"Then, let me just tell you, many of them want to take advantage of Lao Tzu's birthday, and have a class reunion by the way, fuck, do you remember Zheng Dongdong's bastard? I don't want to recommend you to be the host of the class reunion, saying that you had good grades and were capable before, and now you must be a social elite, and it is most suitable for you to be the host, I see that he is a villain in the group, and he is all kinds of unhappy, he just wants to take the opportunity to hack you......"

"I don't remember." Lin Chen interrupted Fu Hao.

"Don't remember anything?"

"I don't remember who Zheng Dongdong is."

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, it's a small role, we used to be in the next class, but he is disgusting enough, to be honest, the old man's birthday, it's really not good if you don't go, or we will go to the old man's house to visit that night, and it's convenient to talk."

"No, that's not what I meant." Hearing Fu Hao say this, Lin Chen lifted the kettle on the coffee table and refilled some hot water into the cup: "Since I don't remember who he is, is it important what he thinks, says, or even does?" ”

"It's not important or not, but classmates will ......"

"You want to say that now my classmates are all successful in their careers, but I, who had the best grades at the beginning, is getting worse and worse, and I can only be a junior adviser to the police force, and it is easy to feel uncomfortable when I go to meet my old classmates, right?"

I didn't expect Lin Chen to be so straightforward, Fu Hao thought about it for a long time and was held in his throat, and in the end, he blushed a little, but under Lin Chen's burning gaze, he could only nod.

"It's a work I'm happy to do, so why am I uncomfortable?
