Chapter 1 Gentleman's Orchid
At the end of July 1992, a comet streaked across the sky, one afternoon
The heat of the weather in the capital is a little listless on the street outside the Fuxing Gate, and there are fewer cars on the road and fewer pedestrians, but it is the lunch break.
At the corner of the alley where Yuetan South Street turned, a brand-new Cherokee came at a gallop, squeaked and braked sharply, and a tall young man with messy hair and a T-shirt and pants called the people in the car to kick out of the car from behind.
"Jiang Yelin, you give me a good job, remember to follow the rumor, you are not allowed to go out of the city if you have nothing to do, the case has not been solved for a day, and the suspicion on your body has not been completely cleared!"
The young man named Jiang Yelin looked at Sven with a face, only to see him touch his kicked buttocks, turn around and scratch his head, his reaction was slightly sluggish, and before he could find the flip-flops and complain, the beautiful police inspector with sunglasses in the driver's seat stepped on the accelerator and drove away with her dazzling new car.
"It's nice to have free air!" Jiang Yelin greedily sniffed the familiar breath in the alley, muttering to himself, although his ass was kicked by the female police inspector with a frosty face, Jiang someone's mood was extremely bright.
Just three days ago, Brother Xiaoye of Yuetan, who was practicing porcelain and antiques in Panjiayuan to make a living, and had a good reputation in the neighborhood, was actually involved in a case with a lot of impact, and it was a little dramatic when he entered the bureau, and now it is a bit confusing to let it out, thinking about the life in this detention center is really difficult.
Although it has only been a few days since he went in, as soon as he came out at this time, Jiang Yelin realized more deeply that freedom, only freedom is the most precious, in it, even if it is with a policewoman with a stunning face, in the small pre-trial room, lonely men and widows are fighting face to face, looking back now, it is not worth it.
What's more, this time I got into trouble with a big case of attempted theft and murder in a hotel, which is completely incomparable to fighting with bullying gangsters in the neighborhood alley before, so freedom is too precious! And, of course, the stunning female police inspector!
"Twelve watery and spirited Sister Lan, brother is back to see you! Is there a good one? Jiang Yelin pushed open the unlocked courtyard door of his house.
The small courtyard is like the old one, the plant corner under the west courtyard wall is lush and green, and the 12 pots of Junzi orchid blooming in full bloom on the three-layer shelves in the glass house have a different style, this small glass house and the soil automatic drip irrigation system are the masterpieces that Jiang Yelin made out of his leisure time, and the sunshade canopy can be automatically turned on regularly in the morning according to the setting of the alarm clock, and it will be automatically closed in the afternoon, so as to avoid the exposure of the sun.
If it is said that Jiang Yelin, who was abandoned at the door of the welfare institute when he was an infant and practiced in Panjiayuan after dropping out of high school, compared the jars and jars and antiques and broken porcelain pieces collected in his house, then since he learned in the mouth of the police that the flowers and plants he has served and taken care of for ten years may actually be the precious and rare Junzi Orchid, this guy is full of joy and looks forward to the day when he will be free.
"Xiaobai, Xiaohong, Xiaoli, four, five, six, seven, twelve, hahahaha, a lot, brother has taken care of you for so many years, and you have been served like a flower and jade, you all know the hard work that my brother has paid, even my brother doesn't know that your worth has risen so high, and others naturally don't know it, otherwise, don't say that my brother can't sleep well at night, those cats and dogs probably have to beat your idea a long time ago."
After taking a shower in the yard and drying off his body and changing into clothes, Jiang Yelin continued to talk to the Junzi Orchids in his own care, while quickly opening the lid with his hands and feet, filling the watering can with the water stored in the lotus tank, and began to bathe each Junzi Orchid once a week.
You say that wealth is really a magical thing, when you don't know, the twelve pots of Junzi Orchid left by Jiang Yelin's cheap cousin are just flowers and plants for Jiang Yelin, plants, of course, they will also cultivate feelings, but now looking at these Junzi Orchids, Jiang Yelin's mood is completely different, this is equivalent to looking at 12 Jetta cars, at this time in 92, millionaires are still a minority after all, and they are actually a blessing in disguise, which has a net worth of 2 million? !
When he was 14 years old, Jiang Yelin, who was still in middle school in the welfare institute, was led back to this single-family courtyard by his distant cousin, but he didn't expect that half a year later, this cheap cousin actually emigrated abroad, and what was left to Jiang Yelin was only these twelve pots of Junzi Orchid and the courtyard of the quadrangle, and he told him to take care of these flowers and plants, and wait for his uncle to pick you up from the country, but this wait, it has been ten years!
Although Jiang Yelin is very smart and has a strong memory, he doesn't like to study, he has resisted exam-oriented education since he was a child, and his grades are in the middle and upper, plus his cousin's departure, in addition to the subsistence allowance on the street, there is no financial source, and it is inevitable to drop out of school to make a living.
Not long ago, because of a package of broken porcelain pieces from Ru kiln, Jiang Yelin was inexplicably involved in a case of theft and murder, but it was also a blessing in disguise, due to the conclusive alibi later, Xiao Yege regained his freedom at the same time, and also learned from the police that during the search, it was found that the twelve Junzi orchids in his yard were identified by experts as likely to be rare and superb products that bloom in all seasons, with a market value of at least 2 million!
"Papapa, is anyone at home? Jiang Yelin is not there?! There was a sound calling for the door outside the courtyard gate, Jiang Yelin frowned slightly, put down the watering can in his hand, turned his hand to find a cloth and wiped his hands, and turned to answer the door, thinking in his heart, this voice is quite unfamiliar, he just put it back, this person is looking for it? What road?
When I opened the courtyard door, there was a young policewoman outside, medium height, simple and pretty, ruddy and beautiful face, olive green police uniform shirt, a three-triangle star on the collar badge, meticulous in the tie, a black tube skirt, short glass stockings and a pair of half-high-heeled leather sandals, graceful and heroic, carrying a briefcase in her hand.
Seeing the door of the courtyard open, the young policewoman unconsciously took a step back, and then raised her chest that was quite considerable, and plucked up the courage to say,
"May I ask you are Jiang Yelin, right? I'm a new police officer here, and I was asked to come to the office...... Let me register it for you! ”
I took a cold shower for myself before watering the flowers just now, Jiang Yelin's upper body is still naked at this time, he is one meter eighty-two tall, his bronze body is abnormally fit, and his six-pack abdominal muscles are clear at a glance, not bloated and cumbersome at all, of course, his hair is still dripping at this time.
Maybe after a few days of-for-tat fighting with the female police inspector, Jiang Yelin was surprised by the arrival of the female policeman, but he was not stunned at all, and his bold gaze looked up and down, but it made the young female policeman who was in danger alone a little frightened.
"Registration? Uh, what is this comrade police officer called? Please come in and talk, right? Jiang Yelin let go of the courtyard door and made a gesture of please, and the young policewoman blushed, biting her lip and wanting to speak.
Just when Jiang Yelin thought that she didn't dare to come in, the girl puffed up her chest and stepped into the courtyard in front of him, and a faint fragrance brought coolness to the courtyard in the afternoon.
"Look at my mess, why don't you just sit in the yard?"
Jiang Yelin pulled a bamboo chair over, wiped it neatly under the three of them, swung it under the grapevine trellis in the corner of the yard, and made a gesture of please, the young policewoman held the briefcase in both hands in front of her chest, cramped and a little curious, sat down gently, and opened her mouth to introduce herself:
"My surname is Tang, I just came to the Moon Temple, just call me Xiao Tang"
"Officer Tang, it's a guest, you sit down for a while, I'll boil some water and make you a cup of tea......"
Jiang Yelin raised his hand, only then did he realize that he was shirtless and shirtless, so he quickly put on a T-shirt, turned around and entered the small kitchen next to the east wall, and quickly boiled boiling water with an electric kettle.
The policewoman Xiao Tang gradually let go of her nervousness under Jiang Yelin's kind and friendly reception, the girl looked at the furnishings and arrangements in the yard curiously, and after seeing the Junzi Lan in the glass house under the west courtyard wall, she stood up in surprise, walked over to watch it up close, and said,
"Ah, you also grow a gentleman's orchid, this glass house has to spend a lot of thought, hey, your varieties of monarch's orchid are really rare, I haven't seen it outside, this is a gentleman's orchid, right? Don't admit I'm wrong! It's so beautiful, hey, the aroma is very elegant! But is it the season for the orchid to bloom? ”
"I don't know, my flowers bloom all year round, I see you can do better than me, I didn't know this was Junzi Orchid at the beginning of the early years, come, taste the incense pieces I made myself, be careful of hot hands!"
Jiang Yelin came out of the kitchen with a tray, a pot of water and two teas on it, the teapot and tea cup are all blue and white porcelain styles, which look crystal clear and moist, and a little ancient.
The weather was originally hot, fortunately, Jiang Yelin sprinkled water on the ground of the yard after taking a shower before, at this time there was a shade under the grape trellis, and the policewoman who was a little sweaty along the way, opened the lid with the tea cup, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers penetrated into the nasal cavity, and after blowing, she took a sip of tea gently, and her mouth was full of aroma, and she suddenly quenched her thirst, and the corners of the girl's eyes flew, and she smiled like a crescent moon, and couldn't help but praise,
"But it's so fragrant, your tea and water are not simple...... Gee...... If my grandfather knew that this was a piece of incense made by himself with the petals of the precious Junzi Orchid, he would have become a close friend with you through tea! You're not at all the same as what you say out there?! ”
"Ha, Officer Xiao Tang, you are really good at talking, I don't know as much about flowers and plants as you do, this incense piece is actually very simple to do, that is, collecting petals is a trivial work, fortunately, I usually don't have any guests here, and I can barely drink some incense pieces by myself, if you like it, I will take you back with you...... By the way, how am I different from what is rumored outside?! Usually Sven likes to hold a book to read, but in fact, the blue-faced fangs behind him hook up with the scourge of literary young women? ”
Jiang Yelin took a sip of tea, gently put down the teacup, and was a little curious about this new female film policeman, although this girl is only seven or eight points beautiful, she has a good eye for conversation, her family seems to be an intellectual, and she has a bit of a literary and artistic atmosphere, what are you doing here? !
