Chapter 215: The Return
On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, that is, the third day after the end of the 'cursed case', Lin Yingxue and I said goodbye to our parents and embarked on the road back to the imperial capital.
When I came, I was very anxious, and when I left, I was naturally full of all kinds of reluctance, not only to my parents, but also to this village where I was born and raised.
Since my dad's secret was discovered and taken away that day, my dad had to take my mom to sell the house here and find a new city to settle down, and I have already said hello to my dad, and wherever he moves, be sure to let me know where my house is.
As for this village now, my only few friends are estimated to be impossible to continue to contact in the future, the captain and Dong Ge died, Chubby ignored me because his father's secret was cracked by me, and the monkey also had no contact because I misunderstood that he killed the captain at that time, that is, from now on, I don't think I will return to this village, because here, there is no one or thing I can be nostalgic for.
I know that Bai Qi told me that with my express, it must be extraordinary, I believe that it is the express sent to me by Qiqi, but I did not choose to go back immediately, but stayed in the village for a few more days, first, I can accompany my parents, study more with my father, and by the way, I can take the lonely Lin Yingxue around to relax, and secondly, I am waiting for the funeral of the captain and Dongge, and I left after attending their funeral.
When I was free, I went to chat with my dad, hoping that he could teach me a few more tricks, but my dad said: "Reasoning is such a thing, you can only understand but not speak, you have to learn to observe, observe the laws of all things, observe everyone's behavior, habits and emotions, and accumulate more knowledge, so that you can enrich yourself, no matter how much I tell you, in the end it is useless, because the cases that happen in the world are different all the time, and the same routine cannot be successful forever." β
Before leaving, my mother took out a jade bracelet with tears in her eyes and handed it to Lin Yingxue, saying that what kind of heirloom is this, it is passed on to her future daughter-in-law, and I said in my heart why I haven't even seen this heirloom? What kind of heirloom is this? Do you want to be as clichΓ© as the content in some TV series?
Lin Yingxue didn't refuse, maybe because she wanted to act with me in a full set, and happily accepted the jade bracelet, but after that, she never mentioned it again, nor did she return the jade bracelet to me, so I always thought that she had lost or broken it, so I never asked her, anyway, this so-called heirloom must be something my mother made up.
Before I went home, I was worried about what would happen if Poor Qi targeted me and ended up being detrimental to my family. But after experiencing so many things, I am completely relieved, after seeing my father's strength, I even feel that being by my father's side is safer than in the special case team, I am looking forward to Qiqi coming to my father's trouble, and it is estimated that the only one who will suffer at that time will be Qiqi.
Now Lin Yingxue's driving skills are getting better and better, and I'm not very worried, sitting in the car, I can't help but think of my dad talking about the mother and son back then.
When I asked my father, he told me that the widow was the widow of a friend of his, and my father just promised his friend to help take care of his wife and children, of course, my father also liked the child who was about the same age as me, although the child looked dirty and didn't like to talk, but he was very filial to his mother, and he also liked my father, every time my father passed, he could play with the child.
The widow was not very old, but she did not remarry because of this, but supported the whole family and raised her own children alone, and my father usually only helped to do some heavy work, and from time to time took out some money to relieve them, but later, because the child did not like the life here, the widow left with the child, and was never heard from again.
Listening to my dad say this at the time, in addition to lamenting that the old house was really our family's property, I was more suspicious, because I felt that my dad didn't tell me the truth at all, but I couldn't expose him, because maybe he knew that I would understand that he was lying, but he still lied to me, and he must have kept the identity of the mother and son secret from me.
However, when my father talked about the widow back then, his eyes were full of admiration, and it could be seen that he did appreciate that person back then, but only appreciation, and there were no other emotions in it.
On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yingxue and I returned to the Imperial Capital Special Case Team, and by the time we went back, everyone had already arrived at work, with the exception of one person, that is, Yuan Hao.
Sure enough, it was similar to what I thought, Yuan Hao was the person I felt staring at me behind that day, I didn't expect this person to be so treacherous, he secretly followed me back to my hometown, and found the secret that my father hid according to the clues, it seems that I have to be more careful in the future.
After Lin Yingxue stopped the car, Bai Qi and Bai Longfei were already standing aside and waiting, Bai Longfei helped me and Lin Yingxue take out the luggage, and then looked at me inexplicably, making me always feel that he seemed to be smiling at me.
After Lin Yingxue got out of the car, she finished reporting to Bai Qi, handed over the car keys to Bai Qi, and then returned to her dormitory with her luggage, during which she didn't say anything to me, she was still cold, and after getting out of the car, she jumped up and down like a wild horse off the leash, as if telling everyone that it was back.
Seeing Lin Yingxue leaving, Bai Qi said with a wicked smile: "I said that when you go home, you will turn our special case team back?" Honestly, did something happen to you? β
It's okay not to say it, but as soon as Bai Qi said this, I immediately became angry, and said a little angrily: "You give me the car keys to someone like me who can't drive, how can I go back?" Pushing the cart back? It's not that Xiaoxue takes pity on me and is willing to drive me back, otherwise it is estimated that I will spend the New Year with her in the special case team. β
"Huh? So soon to call people Xiaoxue? Still don't admit what happened to you? I didn't look at Xiaoxue and she was pitiful here for the New Year alone, so I gave you this chance to get the moon first near the water, why are you still angry if you don't thank me? β
This Bai Qi usually looks very kind and serious, but I didn't expect him to have such a no-slip side, and I didn't bother to say anything to him, so I asked directly: "What is the content of Qiqi's express delivery this time?" β
Hearing my words, Bai Qicai retracted his indecent smile, frowned and said, "Come to my office with me, the things are there." β
Saying that, Bai Qi took the lead and walked towards the office, and I also chatted with Bai Longfei and followed him, but although I was chatting with Bai Longfei, I recalled in my mind what my father said to me behind Lin Yingxue's back before I came.
"Although I am relieved about Bai Qi, and I have always had a good relationship back then, but after so many years, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any problems with him, in short, you don't believe him too much, you have to keep an eye on everything, if you find something about Bai Qi that is difficult to solve or difficult to distinguish, call me quietly."
Although I always feel that my dad's words are a little suspicious, after all, I have worked with Bai Qi for so long, this person I have always respected very much, and he is helping me everywhere, but my dad's words I have to pay attention to, after all, everything is careful, and those who can often betray themselves are the closest people.
When we came to Bai Qi's office, Bai Qi directly closed the door, and then said with a smile: "It's better to be careful, after all, there are moles in the special case team now, and some words are better for us to close the door." β
With that, Bai Qi returned to his desk, opened the door of the cabinet with the key, and then took out a package similar to a shoebox from inside.
I looked at the box curiously and wondered, "No, the courier should be closed these days, right?" How did you send this thing? β
Bai Qi said helplessly: "No one sent it, this thing appeared directly at the door of the guard room of the special case team, I have already watched the surveillance video, I came to deliver the box, look at the shape of the titan should be the titan!" β
I said how this courier was sent, it turned out that the Titan personally sent it, but since the Titan is in the imperial capital, it means that Qiqi is also in the imperial capital! This time, could it be Qiqi himself who came to play with me?
With a stomach full of questions, I immediately stepped forward and picked up the package and was about to open it to see the contents, but Bai Qi suddenly seemed to remember something important, and smiled: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you a good news." β
"What's the good news?"
Bai Longfei seemed to know about this matter, and when he heard Bai Qi say this, he immediately laughed, and Bai Qi smiled mysteriously: "Do you know why Yuan Hao didn't come to report?" β
Speaking of Yuan Hao's whereabouts, I originally wanted to tell Bai Qi about this matter, so I nodded and said, "Of course I know, he is spying on my father now, what's the matter, Uncle Bai already knows about this?" β
"Haha, I didn't know, but after I received a call from the Chongzhou City Public Security Bureau last night, I learned that he went to Chongzhou City, and his purpose must be your father, but don't worry, he probably doesn't have time to spy on your father now."
"Why?" I asked, a little curious.
"Because people from the Chongzhou City Public Security Bureau told me that Yuan Hao seemed to be following someone on a mountain last night, accidentally rolled down the mountain, and suffered a comminuted fracture of his left leg, it is estimated that it is impossible to be discharged from the hospital in the short term!"
