Chapter 54: Reaping the Consequences

As the night grew darker, Bao Kang had dinner, put on his hat, and prepared to go out. At the dinner table, Bao Ying was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Xiao Ying, I'll go for a walk."

Bao Ying couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Bao Kang, who had never liked to move around, offered to go out for a walk, "Brother, don't you hide something from me, right?" โ€

Bao Kang shook his head again and again, "No, I have nothing to hide from you, don't think about it, I'll just walk around the neighborhood." โ€

"Okay." Bao Ying nodded and watched Bao Kang go out.

At the same time, Lu Xiang was standing at the door wearing a hat and was about to go out.

Lin Zhi sat on the chair and glanced at Lu Xiang, "What kind of walk are you taking in the big night?" I haven't seen you go for a walk before, so you can't hide something from me, right? โ€

"Oh, what can I hide from you?" Lu Xiang was a little weak-hearted.

"That's right." Lin Zhi looked proud.

"I'm tired today, and I want to go around the neighborhood." Lu Xiang went out in a hurry and explained.

Lin Zhi waved his hand, "Go ahead, come back early." โ€

"Got it." Lu Xiang said and walked out of the door as if he was running away.

Under the cover of night, the vendor who had just pushed the miscellaneous truck hurriedly rushed into the Shuangxi Detective Agency, standing opposite Liu Rushuang and Bai Yulou to report the situation. Don't think about it, he must be Liu Rushuang's eyeliner ambushing around Ying Xi.

"The Chief Inspector is going to hold a commendation meeting to commend Brother Xi?" Liu Rushuang listened to the hawker's words and looked surprised.

The peddler nodded, "I heard the policeman next to me call that person Chief Inspector, and then the Chief Inspector General ordered a commendation meeting to be held tomorrow, saying that he should be commended for the Inspector's meritorious work in arresting Long Zhentian." โ€

"Isn't it just the arrest of a murderer, a matter within the policeman's responsibility, as for holding a commendation meeting, is it so exciting?" Bai Yulou looked jealous beside him, and muttered in a low voice.

Liu Rushuang took out some money and gave it to the hawker, "This news was sent quite timely, credit to you, this is a reward, continue to work hard, and I will also hold a commendation meeting for you in the future." โ€

When the peddler saw the reward, his eyes straightened, "Hey, Miss Liu, then I'll go first." โ€

"Let's go, let's go." Liu Rushuang is in a good mood.

The peddler happily counted the money and left.

Liu Rushuang looked sideways at Bai Yulou beside her, "Bai Bai, what do you say I should give Brother Xi?" โ€

"Isn't there a commendation meeting, do you need to give anything?" Bai Yulou's tone was perfunctory.

Liu Rushuang thought for a while and looked serious, "The commendation meeting was held by the police station, not me, of course I want to send something to congratulate." โ€

Bai Yulou saw that Liu Rushuang insisted on giving Ying Xi a gift, and grinned helplessly, "Ying Xi likes the dancing girl of Paramount, and he must like Sister Shuang to give him a dancing girl." โ€

Liu Rushuang was annoyed and pinched Bai Yulou's face, "You want to die, don't you?" โ€

"Ouch, it hurts, people are kidding." Bai Yulou broke free of Liu Rushuang and covered his face and begged for mercy.

Liu Rushuang's anger did not subside, and she glared at Bai Yulou fiercely, "You look good if you joke again!" โ€

"But Inspector Ying only has two hobbies: drinking and going to Paramount to find a dancing lady......" Bai Yulou looked aggrieved.

Liu Rushuang saw that Bai Yulou still didn't have a long memory, and raised her hand to pinch her face again, but Bai Yulou hurriedly swallowed back the words behind.

Liu Rushuang put down her hand, thought quietly, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "There is!" โ€

"What to send?" Bai Yulou asked puzzled.

"Scenery!" Liu Rushuang looked proud.

"Scenery?" Bai Yulou was still confused, "How to send the scenery?" โ€

Liu Rushuang nodded solemnly, "Brother Xi has a good face, I want Brother Xi to participate in the commendation conference in a beautiful manner!" โ€

In the night, Bao Kang sneakily lay at the gate of the Lu family and looked inside, and suddenly, he heard footsteps in the yard, and quickly flashed to the door to hide.

After a while, Lu Xiang walked out of the house and left, Bao Kang snickered on the side, and when Lu Xiang walked away, he quickly walked to the gate and knocked on the door.

After a while, Lin Zhi opened the door and saw that it was Bao Kang, and couldn't help but feel a little curious, "Director Bao?" โ€

Lu Xiang, who walked out of the house, pretended to take a walk for a while, and when he saw that there was no one around, he secretly jumped into the courtyard of Bao Kang's house from the back door.

Lu Xiang came to the window of Bao Ying's room, looked inside, and saw that Bao Ying was reading, he expected that Bao Kang was not there, and knocked lightly on the window.

Bao Ying put down the book when he heard the sound, walked over and opened the window, and when he saw that it was Lu Xiang, he couldn't help but feel surprised, "Uncle Lu? โ€

The moonlight like water sprinkled on the floor of the dormitory through the window, and Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi pushed the door in, as if stepping on a flowing spring.

After tossing all day, Ying Xi sat listlessly in his chair. Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi and guessed that he must be worried about tomorrow's commendation conference.

โ€œSelf do๏ผŒ self haveใ€‚ Self-inflicted. Lu Hehuan looked helpless.

Ying Xi glared at Lu Hehuan angrily and frowned, "If you are righteous enough, help me think of countermeasures." โ€

"What do you want to do?"

"Think about how you can keep Long Zhentian from appearing at tomorrow's commendation meeting."

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi in disbelief, "You still want to take this credit?" โ€

"Why not?" Ying Xi asked rhetorically.

Lu Hehuan sat opposite Ying Xi angrily, "Inspector Ying, wake up, don't be carried away by fame and fortune!" Listen to me, tomorrow morning we will go to the chief inspector general together to make it clear, and confess that we let Long Zhentian go before, as for whether it is a reward or a punishment, obey the arrangement of the superiors. โ€

Ying Xi was a little emotional when he heard Huo Di stand up, "Lu Hehuan! Do you know that fame and fortune are the foundation of gaining a firm foothold in this society, the higher your status, the fewer people who bully you, on the contrary, if you have no money and no status, anyone can step on your head! I'm pursuing fame and fortune, that's because I'm afraid, I'm afraid of being bullied and despised, I didn't do anything hurtful, I just wanted to hide a little mistake! โ€

Lu Hehuan then stood up and stared straight at Ying Xi, "If you conceal a small mistake this time, you may conceal a big mistake next time, and slowly you will hide more and more...... Detective, don't be like that. โ€

"I know what kind of person I am, and I don't need your little agent to teach me."

"You ......" Lu Hehuan was speechless with anger.

"What am I?"

Lu Hehuan saw that Ying Xi was stubborn, and gritted his teeth, "I don't care what you think, I will go to the chief police station early tomorrow morning to confess." โ€

"Okay, you go, but you don't want to investigate Ling Yan's case again in your life!" The old trick should be repeated.

"Rejoice!" Lu Hehuan was speechless for a while.

Ying Xi raised his voice, "Lu Hehuan, don't forget your identity, you should call me Inspector Ying!" โ€

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi stared wide-eyed, and they were at an impasse for a while.

After Bao Kang revealed to Lin Zhi that Lu Xiang went to the widow's house to drink tea again, he sneakily came out of Lu's house and walked to his house, but unexpectedly, he bumped into Lu Xiang head-on on the road.

Lu Xiang and Bao Kang were shocked when they saw each other, and greeted each other awkwardly.

"Deputy Director Lu, are you out?"

"I'm going for a walk, what are you?"

"I'll take a walk too."

Suddenly, the two realized something, looked at each other viciously, and quickly walked towards their home.

Bao Kang pushed the door into the house and saw Bao Ying sitting in the living room, with a stack of books about his height on the ground next to the coffee table.

"Xiao Ying, read so many books?" Bao Kang asked tentatively.

Bao Ying stood up and put on a straight face, "All soldiers are righteous, unjust, although they are profitable, do not move." It is not a matter of interest, and he will be caught off guard in the future. The husband can be angry with the righteousness, and the righteous can be angry, and the warrior can fight with a hundred battles. This is the principle of being a general. โ€

Bao Kang couldn't understand a word, and swallowed his saliva, "Xiaoying, what does this mean?" โ€

Bao Ying explained coldly: "As a general, you should first cultivate your mind. It is necessary to make sure that Tarzan collapses in front of his eyes and his face does not change, and the elk rushes around without blinking, and then he can control the stakes and deal with the enemy. โ€

"Xiao Ying, what are you going to say?" Bao Kang still looked ignorant.

Bao Ying put away his angry face, and looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Brother, as the director of the Jiuzha Police Station, you are also a general, how can you go to Xunfang Lane to look for flowers and ask willows because others talked about Fengyue Place?" You are doing this because of bad conduct, so how can your subordinates obey you? Daddy and mother have a spirit in the sky, and they will be embarrassed. โ€

"I ......" Bao Kangli grimaced.

Bao Ying pointed to a stack of books on the ground, with an ordered tone, "Within five days, finish copying these life-size poetry books, this is my punishment for your father." โ€

Bao Kang looked at the stack of books equal to his height, his brows furrowed, and he gritted his teeth angrily, "Lu Xiang, I am inseparable from you!" โ€

The living room of the Lu family was in a mess, and Lu Xiang and Lin Zhi had a lot of trouble. Lu Xiang hugged his head and ran away, and Lin Zhi chased after him with a broom.

"I'll let you go to the widow's house for tea, let you drink!" Lin Zhi scolded while beating.

"Wife, that's all in the past, and I promise never to go to the widow's house for tea again." Lu Xiang dodged the broom and begged for mercy.

"I promise never to believe your nonsense again!" Lin Zhi didn't give up, and slapped Lu Xiang's waist with a sweep.

Lu Xiang looked up to the sky and screamed.

"I'll kill you old bad thing!" Lin Zhi is still in hot pursuit.

Lu Xiang wanted to cry without tears, gritted his teeth and roared, "Bao Kang, I am inseparable from you!" โ€

In the dead of night, the lights went out in the police station dormitory. Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi were lying on the bed with their backs to back, and neither of them paid attention to anyone.

Ying Xi turned around and sighed, "Forget it, take a step back." โ€

"How do I get back?" Lu Hehuan followed and turned around.

"Tomorrow we will hide and not attend the commendation meeting, and you will not go to the chief inspector general to confess, okay?"

"Don't think I don't know, you didn't go to the commendation conference because you were afraid that Long Zhentian would be there, and that she would bite you back if she knew your identity." Lu Hehuan refuted Ying Xi angrily.

Ying Xi was annoyed and sat up suddenly, "No matter what the reason, I can't attend this commendation meeting tomorrow." โ€

Lu Hehuan sat up and looked at Ying Xi with disdain, "Yes, how uncomfortable it feels to be debunked in public." โ€

"Lu Hehuan, don't go too far!" Ying Xi was a little angry.

Lu Hehuan glanced at Ying Xi, "It was you who were too much, and you actually threatened me with Ling Yan's case." โ€

Ying Xi glared at Lu Hehuan fiercely, lay down angrily, closed his eyes and slept.

In the dark, Lu Hehuan sighed helplessly.

The early morning sun spilled into the dormitory of the police station, Ying Xi opened his eyes, suddenly sat up suddenly, and woke up Lu Hehuan beside him, "Hurry up, we have to hide, and come back after the commendation meeting." โ€

Lu Hehuan sat up reluctantly.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw two officers from the chief police station standing at the door.

"Who are you?" Ying Xi asked nervously.

"Inspector Ying, Officer Lu, and Chief Inspector General sent us to pick up the two of us to attend the commendation meeting." One of the officers replied.

Ying Xi was stunned on the spot, and he had to participate if he didn't participate now.

The car drove directly into the courtyard of the chief police station, a police officer got out of the car and opened the door, Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi got out of the car and looked at the commendation meeting in shock.

I saw a simple stage set up in the courtyard, and a banner with "Outstanding Police Detective Commendation Conference" was hung above the stage. There was a podium on the stage. Under the stage, the leaders of the chief police station sat in the front row, the people from the sub-police stations stood in the back, and Bao Kang, Bao Ying and Zhu Wolong stood in the line of the old gate police station.

Around the stage, the nearby crowd and reporters from Shanghai's large and small newspapers stood by and watched, and Lin Zhila Lu Xiang and other citizens stood together.

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi were taken to the stage by the police and prepared to take the stage. Ying Xi pretended to cover his face unintentionally, and looked around to see if there was a figure of Long Zhentian.

With all eyes on him, Gordon strode up to the stage and began to speak, "Ladies a."

Hello everyone. Today, our police headquarters held a commendation meeting for outstanding police detectives here to commend the two police detectives Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan, who were arrested by Long Zhentian, a particularly large fugitive wanted in the whole country. Here, on behalf of all the staff of the General Police Department, I would like to extend my cordial condolences and high respect to Detective Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan! Next, I invite these two brave police detectives to come to the stage to accept the commendation. โ€

As soon as Gordon's voice fell, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Zhu Wolong saw Bao Ying looking at the stage expectantly, and couldn't help but feel jealous, "What is there to commend for catching a fugitive, if you can't even catch a fugitive, then what do you need the police to do?" โ€

Bao Ying took the opportunity to knock Zhu Wolong with words, "Boss Zhu, Inspector Ying and He Huan are eliminating harm for the people, this Long Zhentian specializes in killing prostitutes who linger among the fireworks, and he is also indirectly protecting you." โ€

Zhu Wolong was suddenly embarrassed and speechless.

Bao Kang on the side saw that Bao Ying was sarcastic about Zhu Wolong, and couldn't help but come closer, "Xiao Ying, don't be rude to Boss Zhu." โ€

Bao Ying stopped talking and looked at the stage instead.

Lu Xiang and Lin Zhi in the audience were overjoyed to see Lu Hehuan being commended by the Chief Inspector.

"I knew that my son must have a future." Lin Zhi was looking forward to Lu Hehuan's debut, and said to Lu Xiang triumphantly.

A smile escaped from the corner of Lu Xiang's mouth, not because he didn't want to laugh, but because Lin Zhi hurt his face last night, and it hurt when he smiled, he took Lin Zhi's words, "Of course, the tiger father has no dogs." โ€

Lin Zhi glanced at Lu Xiang with disdain, "My son inherited me, if you inherit it, you are not a straw bale." โ€

"Can a straw bale be a deputy commissioner of police?" Lu Xiang was not convinced.

Lin Zhi gestured with his hand, "Your police station is as small as an ant's nest, but my son was commended by the chief police station, can it be a level." โ€

"You ......" Lu Xiang knotted.

The audience in the audience was enthusiastically waiting for Lu He Huan and Ying Xi to appear on the stage, Ying Xi was worried about being recognized, so he pretended to rub out step by step inadvertently, and he could slip away when he saw it, but he was suddenly stopped by the enthusiastic patrol police.

"Inspector Ying, the Chief Inspector General asked you to speak on stage." The patrolman urged.

Ying Xi shook his head, "I won't say anything, so I won't go." โ€

The patrol officer didn't listen and stopped Ying Xi. Ying Xi helplessly gestured to Lu Hehuan on the side with his eyes, begging him to help pull away the policeman. Lu Hehuan was still angry with Ying Xi and pretended not to see it.

At this time, Gordon on the stage noticed the two, and he cleared his throat, "Everyone, these two are our brave detectives Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan, everyone applauds and invites the two of them to come to the stage!" โ€

The applause was thunderous, and Ying Xi walked onto the stage with Lu Hehuan and stood in front of the podium.

Gordon wears a ribbon with the words "Detective Brave" written on it. Ying Xi covered his face secretly to accept the commendation. Gordon mistakenly thought that Ying Xi was shy and introverted by nature, smiled and pulled down Ying Xi's hands covering his face, and shook hands with Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi again for a photo.

Reporters from Shanghai's major newspapers, large and small, held up their cameras to capture the scene.

The reporter of "Declaration" squeezed closer, "Two detectives, can you tell us about your arrest of the murderous demon dragon Zhentian?" โ€

Ying Xi was frightened when he heard this, and quickly looked for Long Zhentian's figure in the audience.

"Self-inflicted." Lu Hehuan muttered in a low voice beside him.

Gordon was just about to use the newspaper channel to publicize this matter and improve the prestige of the police station in the hearts of the people, he looked at Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan with a smile, "Let's talk about it to everyone." โ€

Ying Xi lowered his head helplessly, and spoke very quickly, "Actually, what we do is what every police officer in the police station will do, there is nothing to say, and the arrest is nothing special, thank you." Ying Xi said that he would step down after pulling Lu and He Huan.

The reporters in the audience took notes one after another, supplemented each other's information one after another, and complained that Ying Xi was too anxious.

As soon as Ying Xi took a step, he heard the noise of gongs and drums outside the venue and the roar of firecrackers, and he looked up, and it turned out that Liu Rushuang and Bai Yulou came to the courtyard of the chief police station with a team of people beating gongs and drums.

Liu Rushuang was like a general, commanding everyone majestically, "Arrange the scene!" โ€

Everyone quickly filled the stage with flower baskets, and then hung a banner printed with photos of Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan on the stage, with the banner reading "Old Gate No. 1 - Huanxi Detective".

Ying Xi's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and glared at Liu Rushuang, "Liu Rushuang, who has not achieved enough and has more than enough failures!" โ€

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi and couldn't help laughing, "Let's be honest, Inspector Ying." โ€

Ying Xi looked around and suddenly smiled, "Confess what?" Long Zhentian was not there. โ€

When Lu Hehuan heard this, he quickly looked around, and indeed did not find Long Zhentian's figure, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Zhi saw Liu Rushuang and took his arm to crutch Lu Xiang, "That girl's name is Liu Rushuang, I like her very much, if only she could be our daughter-in-law." โ€

Lu Xiang saw Liu Rushuang directing the workers to set up flower baskets, guessed that this girl had a barbaric personality, he didn't want his son to marry a fierce wife to follow in his footsteps, and quickly shook his head, "It's not good, the girl's family is not stable at all." โ€

"She is the daughter of Liu Shan, the richest man in the old gate." Lin Zhi added.

"Really?" Lu Xiang's tone softened a lot, and he looked at Liu Rushuang again, "It's quite stable to take a closer look, not bad." โ€

Off the stage, Bao Ying looked at Lu Hehuan on the stage with admiration. Zhu Wolong, who was on the side, saw Bao Ying's admiration in his eyes, and hurriedly signaled Bao Kang with his eyes.

Bao Kang understood, and deliberately moved to Bao Ying, blocking Bao Ying's sight, Bao Ying to the left Bao Kang to the left, Bao Ying to the right, Bao Kang to the right.

"Brother, why are you always blocking me?" Bao Ying was a little angry.

Bao Kang looked at Bao Ying meaningfully, "I'm reminding you that you shouldn't look at people who don't match you, and you should cherish the people in front of you." โ€

Zhu Wolong looked at Bao Ying with a smile and leaned forward.

Bao Ying knew in his heart, knowing that Bao Kang and Zhu Wolong deliberately did not let him see Lu Hehuan, and sighed helplessly.

Gordon stepped down from the stage and whispered to the police officer standing nearby, "Go and bring Long Zhentian." โ€

"Yes." The officer turned and walked away.
