Chapter 126: Winter Solstice
Back at home, when Dong Ce was tying up the donkey, he found that there was a light in the kitchen, and after a little thought, he didn't go over but went directly to the attic.
Before Dong Ce could boil a pot of water, the door was pushed open, Fang Shuwei walked in happily with a handkerchief twisting the casserole, put the casserole on the table, and said with a smile: "You come back so late every day, you must be hungry at this time, try it, this is the tube bone soup that my mother taught me to stew, the ancestral recipe, it's cheap for you." β
After that, as Fang Shuwei opened the lid, a rich aroma suddenly spread, and she breathed straight to her nose.
Dong Ce looked at the bone broth in the casserole for a long time before saying, "You don't need to do this." β
"But I can't live with you for nothing." Fang Shuwei didn't think so, and said with a smile while making soup in a small bowl: "Just use it as accommodation fees, otherwise I won't be able to do it in my heart." β
"Young man, it's not that you can't mess around, but you also have to have a deadline, and now your father is looking for you everywhere, I don't know how anxious I am." Dong Ce didn't know how many times he heard these words, and his ears were calloused, so he knew very well that these words were useless to Fang Shuwei, but he still said them for some reason.
Fang Shuwei suddenly laughed at herself, and said with a sloppy look: "I used to have a younger brother, my father and mother liked him very much, and I had to give him anything delicious and fun first, and when he was full and tired of playing, it was my turn, but I never got angry with my brother, but I wanted to give him something good, but, because of a lantern festival, I secretly took him to play, but we got separated, and he never came back, so my father has always hated me, because the younger brother can inherit him, become the best catcher, and enter the Dali Temple to honor the ancestors." , and I, in the end, will only marry another woman, so how can my father think of me, he is looking for me, just because I disobeyed him and made him lose face. β
Dong Ce took the bone broth from Fang Shuwei's hand, took a sip and felt good, then nodded and smiled: "So, you have to prove that even if you don't have a younger brother, your father still has you, you can inherit him, become the best catcher, and then enter the Dali Temple to glorify your ancestors, so that your father will be honored for your daughter!" β
Fang Shuwei looked at Dong Ce in surprise when she heard this, and said in surprise: "How do you know? After saying that, she seemed to notice something, and her pretty face instantly turned red.
Dong Ce couldn't help laughing, the clichΓ© story of the Fang family, the estrangement between father and daughter and the knot in their hearts are all rotten streets, and even the plot that he can't use in the art garden, how can he not know.
Fang Shuwei saw Dong Ce's smile, she felt very uncomfortable, quickly took out a few pieces of paper, and said with a sigh: "Okay, okay, but these things are boring, I have solved the problem you gave me, you see if what I said is right, I think this case is like this......"
Dong Ce drank soup while listening to Fang Shuwei explain the case, although she was generally right, but she ignored many details, so the final result was that she would not be able to sue the other party because of insufficient evidence.
When Dong Ce brought up this loophole, Fang Shuwei was really speechless, thinking hard for a long time but not knowing the essentials, and finally had to ask Dong Ce for advice.
Dong Ce taught Fang Shuwei to explain those things that seemed ordinary, but were actually conclusive evidence, after Fang Shuwei suddenly became enlightened, Dong Ce suddenly said seriously: "I have been teaching you for four days, and now ordinary cases are no longer difficult for you, if you continue to learn like this, the progress will be very slow, and these cases are not big cases for other arrests, if you really want to enter Dali Temple, you must practice, here you have to contact not only to investigate the case, but also to learn to disguise, go deep into the enemy camp, Write down all the crimes they committed, and then combine the right time and place to come up with a clever plan to wipe out these gangsters, are you interested in trying it? β
"Really?" Fang Shuwei's eyes widened.
"Well, if this case is handled well, maybe Dali Temple will send someone to recruit you into Beijing!"
"What case?" Fang Shuwei was pleasantly surprised.
"The disappearance of dozens of women from good families!"
As soon as she heard Dong Ce's words, Fang Shuwei suddenly frowned, thought for a moment and then exclaimed, "You mean, the old case from half a year ago?" β
Dong Ce shook his head and said, "That's right, but it's not an old case, because it has appeared again recently!" β
"What!" Fang Shuwei was startled, she couldn't sit still, she got up and wanted to leave, but she was suddenly stopped by Dong Ce.
"What are you doing?" Dong Ce frowned.
"Go to the torture room, this time I must catch these gangsters." Fang Shuwei puffed up.
"What can you find out now? If you really want to solve this case and catch all the thieves, you have to listen to my arrangement. β
Fang Shuwei struggled for a while, then calmed down, sat back in place and asked, "Then you can talk about it, I will see if it is reasonable." β
"Feelings, you have always doubted Lao Tzu's ability!" Dong Ce smiled bitterly in his heart, and began to instill the knowledge of undercover agents in Fang Shuwei!
This night, the two discussed a lot, until the third watch, Dong Ce persuaded the entangled Fang Shuwei to sleep.
Who is under Dong Ce, Fang Shuwei wanted to leave directly several times and go to the criminal arrest room to start investigating the case, but thinking of Dong Ce's words, she finally endured it.
In the next three days, Dong Ce went home early every day to teach Fang Shuwei how to be a qualified undercover agent.
Speaking of which, Dong Ce has never been an undercover agent, but in the era in which he once lived, there were a few people who didn't know what it meant to be undercover, although Fang Shuwei could not become a qualified undercover agent in terms of acting skills or psychological quality, but there is one thing that Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren cannot compare, that is, she is a woman!
Although some people have said since ancient times that no one should underestimate women, how many people can really do it and will deliberately guard against women? Especially for beautiful women, men's defenses are so weak that they get a flat tire as soon as they hit the road.
Time flies by in a blink of an eye.
Winter solstice, this day Dong Ce let the art garden rest, this is also the first time that the art garden has been closed in advance since its opening, no way, this year's winter solstice is as big as the year, reunion dinner, ancestor worship and so on up to the royal family down to the people, today will be very busy, no one will come to see the play, but there are lanterns at night, originally he also wanted the art garden to hold a lantern festival, but now the art garden business is a little poor, and secondly, he is too busy, he really can't make a move.
At this time, twilight fell, and in Dong Ce's small courtyard, Fang Shuwei sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the carving knife in Dong Ce's hand, and said with some trepidation: "Can you not scrape?" This is my aunt next door to help me straighten my eyebrows, and it cost me thirty dollars. β
"It's all called aunt and I still need money, your neighbor is really good enough to pick the door." Dong Ce sneered, and said: "Don't underestimate eyebrow trimming, this can make you instantly change your temperament, and make acquaintances have the illusion at first sight, thinking that you are not you, but like you, let alone people who have never seen you!" β
"If you haven't seen me, why do you bother?" Fang Shuwei is really reluctant to give up her pair of sword eyebrows!
"Don't be verbose, if you weren't running around in Jinling Mansion all day long, and there are many people who know you, I wouldn't be too lazy to help you trim your eyebrows."
Fang Shuwei was speechless, she could only pout, close her eyes and let Dong Ce knife her eyebrows.
Feeling a comfortable scrape on her brows, she said with Dong Ce: "Okay" Fang Shuwei opened her eyes, and in an instant, she was amazed by herself in the bronze mirror!
