Thirty. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors
I finally knew why the captain brought me to this noodle shop. He knew that I took this case very seriously. Although this case is full of mysteries, after all, I have no investigative powers. This case has always been just a figment of my imagination, and there has been no substantive investigation.
Soon the closing report of the case was announced, and finally the murderer was characterized as a pervert who liked to abuse cats. Ending up without a problem is probably the best outcome, and in my opinion, it is also the most acceptable outcome for me.
People may be very forgetful, but soon I put this behind me and went back to work with renewed energy. Soon the time came on the first of May, and the children loved the holiday, not because of their work, but because they could have a week's vacation.
It was dark late in May, and even though it was nearly seven o'clock when I got home, it was still a little white.
"Officer Wang, what have you been busy with lately?"
I heard a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar coming from behind me, and I turned my head to see an Audi parked behind me, and someone in the passenger seat of the Audi was sticking his head out desperately. I fixed my eyes and saw that it was Su Hai.
"It turned out to be Mr. Su, we policemen can't do anything else except be busy with the case."
As I spoke, I looked carefully inside his car and saw that the passenger seat was full of shopping bags with the words Knorr Supermarket written on them.
"I'm going to the supermarket." I said hello.
"No, isn't this May Day, Hexuan is also on holiday, we plan to have a good meal tonight, see this is pork ribs and this is fresh abalone." Su Hai said a little ostentatiously.
"That's so blissful, didn't you have an appointment tonight? I heard you have a girlfriend. ”
"I'm not idle, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I don't have an appointment, and she's very busy." My words are sarcastic, I don't want to be an idler like you.
After hearing this, Su Hai seemed to understand the meaning of my words, "I laughed, my work as a lawyer is a day after day, and I am also anxious when I am busy." ”
I am well aware of the hard work of lawyers, and I also recognize that what I just said was also a little rude. "That's going to have to relax." With that, I wanted to turn around and leave
"Can we come to the Humble House tonight and celebrate together? He Xuan said that you often help him, and it has been half a year since I moved here, and the neighbors have not met once. ”
To be honest, I would love to attend this party, I haven't spoken to Hexuan for a long time, and I know from his father's words that he didn't blame me. And I haven't attended a few meetings between neighbors, and it's not good for him to refuse when he invites them.
"Well, to be honest, I'm still worried about what I'm going to eat at night."
"At half past seven in the evening, I have to go to the supermarket next door to buy some soy sauce, the soy sauce we sell here is cheap." After speaking, Su Hai drove away.
Because it was the first time I went to a neighbor's house for dinner, I couldn't go empty-handed. I moved the only case of beer I had left in the house.
I arrived at my appointment at half past seven, put the beer aside from my bar, and knocked politely on the door. It was Hexuan's mother who opened the door.
"It's all here, why do you still take gifts."
"It's not a good thing, it's just a case of beer." I finished picking up a case of beer from behind.
I'm sure Hexuan's mother's face dropped instantly, maybe beer wasn't a good thing in her eyes. Instead of taking the beer I was holding, she pointed to the door.
"Put it on the ground, I think the box is dirty."
After that, I looked at the beer crate, and it was true that a lot of dust had fallen on it because it had been left unwiped for a long time. I was a little embarrassed and put it on the ground. What a snob, I thought to myself. My first impression of her was so good.
"Officer Wang is here, hurry up, why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and get slippers for Officer Wang." Su Hai greeted me first, and then reprimanded his wife next to him.
I thanked him and went inside, I didn't go into his house last time, but this time I looked very carefully. Although the pattern is similar to that of my house, but it is very different from the decoration style, my home can be described as simple and simple, and Hexuan's home can be described as luxurious, and the decoration style is different. I'm going to decorate like this when I have money in the future, I thought to myself.
"Sit casually, Hexuan is still playing outside, he will be back in a while, I will go to the kitchen to help my daughter-in-law with her work, you take a break here first, there are fruits and snacks on the coffee table, you are welcome." Su Hai said politely.
I immediately thanked him, and I sat down politely after seeing Su Hai enter the kitchen. The feeling of this sofa is different from my home, I thought with some jealousy. I didn't move the fruit and snacks on the table, and I thought it would be rude to start eating them when I came.
I sat for about ten minutes before he finally came back. He was shocked to see me in his home. I couldn't believe it was his house, and he tried to go outside the door to see the house number.
"This is your house, and I am your guest today." I explained to Hexuan.
Hearing me say this, Hexuan's face began to show a happy look.
"Who did you go with and come back so late?"
"Qingyun, we're going to the library nearby."
I was relieved to hear him say Qingyun, and soon Hexuan's parents came out of the kitchen. One after another, the table was filled with delicious food.
"It's time to eat, Officer Wang." Su Hai said very politely.
"In the future, just call me Xiao Wang, don't be so polite."
I looked at the food on the table, everything from Chinese to Western. It's worth it to be able to eat such a dish today, I thought to myself.
We quickly started talking. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and I finally began to believe this saying.
Suddenly, Hexuan's mother asked.
"Hexuan, who did you go with at night?"
I just wanted to blurt out that he was going out with Qingyun, but Hexuan's words stood in front of me.
"Liu Ming and I went to the toy store with Liu Ming in our class and looked at what was fun."
"Hey, what do you want to play, tell your mother, it's a shame if you don't buy it." Hexuan's mother said without the slightest anger.
I can't understand why Hexuan lied to me, saying that he was with Qingyun. Maybe it lied to me, I thought to myself.
"Hexuan, your brother Wang drinks beer, you drink drinks, you two touch one, tell me interesting things about the two of you." Su Hai said orderly.
I also want to listen to Hexuan tell interesting stories between us, do I put down the dishes and chopsticks, and I plan to listen to it. I saw Hexuan sitting there without squeaking, he didn't seem to want to say, I know the pain of being forced to say something by my parents at the dinner.
"I don't want to say it, let's talk about it." I played the round for Hexuan.
"This kid is a waste, and I can endure it inwardly in normal times, but it's not okay to say a word to your brother Wang, and in the future, there will be no interest." Su Hai's tone became stern.
I saw Hexuan sitting there without saying a word, after eating the last bite of food in the bowl.
"I'm full, I'm back to my room to rest." He Xuan said innocently.
"Hurry up and get out, you're going to be blocking people every day." Su Hai couldn't help but swear.
Hexuan didn't mean to cry, and returned to the room with the comfort of Hexuan's mother. I watched Hexuan enter the bedroom before I spoke.
"Child, you're not used to this kind of occasion, why do you want to scold him."
"You don't know, what is this kid doing, introverted, in the words of our hometown, he is not a wanderer at all." After Su Hai finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.
It's a familiar phrase that my parents used to say when I was a child.
"It's good if the child is big, okay, let's not talk about Hexuan, let's talk about something else." I hurriedly digressed from the subject.
We talked a lot after that, because I didn't drink much because I had to go to work tomorrow, and Su Hai seemed to be a little drunk.
"I'm a lawyer! You are...... Belch...... Detective, we! It's a pro-....... Su Hai said hesitantly.
I looked at my watch, it was already past ten o'clock, and I put my hand on Su Hai's shoulder.
"I'm going home, you should rest early." I tried to raise my voice, hoping that he would hear what I said in his drunkenness.
I cleaned up the things on the table and left, and as I closed the door I heard Mother Hexuan come out of the bedroom, and I thought she should be able to handle her husband.
When I got home, I lay in bed with a hint of wine, thinking about today's meeting. What's wrong with Hexuan, it's like he's completely changed in front of his parents, and who is he hanging out with?
It's not a big problem, and children are bound to look rusty at the wine table. Lying should not let his parents know that he is with a girl, after all, parents scoff at early love.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep......
