Half a time is not the kind of house that integrates business and residence, just an ordinary façade. Most of the area is given to the drink area in front, plus the counter in the middle, and in the small space behind, there is a folding bed of about one meter two. This kind of bed can be bought for a few dozen dollars. Chu Jing and Chu Chu just huddled together at night and slept on a small bed.

Behind the bed is a simple wardrobe next to the wall, but it doesn't seem to have much clothes in it. There was a big suitcase stuffed under the bed, and it was with this luggage that they came all the way to Haijin. I opened the back door and built a canopy, under which was a small gas canister and a very rudimentary stove.

This is the first time Zhuo Yuan saw the place where they lived behind the counter, and he also rolled out of the poor days, knowing what it meant to live this kind of improvisation.

"I'm sorry, it's too small." Chu Jing was wearing an apron and stir-frying under the canopy, with sweat on her forehead: "The rooster is stewed quickly, I have a steamer in front of that fish, don't wait too long." I'll just stir-fry a few more side dishes. Let's eat in front later, there is really no place in the back. ”

Zhuo Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't stir-fry, I'll take Chu Chu out to buy some cooked food." ”

Before Chu Jing's words of refusal could be spoken, Zhuo Yuan picked up the pink Chu Chu and walked out from the main gate quickly.

A 'temporarily closed' sign was hung on the gate, and the roller shutter was pulled down halfway. Zhuo Yuan bent down and went out, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you say that you leaked your mouth?" ”

"It wasn't meant to be." Chu Chu's eyes widened: "I'm sorry to tell you now, okay?" ”

"Well, that's all said. That's the end of it. By the way, what do you want to eat, my brother will take you to buy it. ”

"Chocolate."

"No problem."

One big and one young walked into the supermarket not far from half a time, and after a while, they returned with a few shopping bags full of bags. In addition to a lot of snacks and toys bought for Chu Chu, Zhuo Yuan thought about it and took a bottle of dry red, plus the food in the cooked food area of the supermarket, and the preparation was quite sufficient.

When the two of them returned to half a time, they could already smell the fragrance, and Chu Jing set up a small alcohol stove and stewed the rooster seat. The chicken has long been peeled off, chopped green onions, eggs and fragrant chicken broth. Another steamed carp is set aside.

Seeing Zhuo Yuan and Chu Chu coming back, and then looking at Chu Chu's small mouth that had been blackened by chocolate, Chu Jing's face turned pale, and she said, "Didn't I tell you that children can't ask people for things." ”

"It's not what she wanted, it's me, and since I went to the supermarket, I bought it by the way." Zhuo Yuan explained: "Don't blame Chu Chu, she is well-behaved. ”

Chu Chu grabbed half of the chocolate, and was about to cry aggrieved.

"Okay, eat." Chu Jing hugged Chu Chu over and put him on the chair beside her.

Zhuo Yuan opened the dry red quickly, found a goblet, poured two cups, and sat on the opposite side.

Chu Jing picked up the wine glass: "You still buy wine...... I forgot. I'm sorry, well, anyway, you saved Chu Chu, I salute you. ”

"It should be, it should be......" Zhuo Yuan took a sip of his wine glass.

Zhuo Yuan hesitated and said: "Sister Jing, you just treat me as a mouthful, your back of the counter is too small, and it is inconvenient for two people to squeeze together." Why not rent a house? ”

Chu Jing smiled and said, "Let's make do with it first, the rent around Haijin University is very expensive." Besides, as you know, many students rent houses off-campus, and if there are too many situations like this in the rented place, it is not good for Chu Chu. ”

"Why is it bad for me?" Chu Chu seriously gnawed on a chicken bone, raised his head and asked.

Zhuo Yuan and Chu Jing looked at each other, it was always inconvenient to say these words to children. Could it be that if those seniors and seniors have a bloody battle at night, the sound is a little louder, and the sound insulation of the general house is still very poor, Chu Chu asked what was going on next door, could it be that they were fighting?

"Adults talk, don't ask nonsense." Chu Jing said.

"Oh, then I'll know when I'm older, right?" Chu Chu lowered his head again and gnawed on the bones seriously.

Zhuo Yuan almost squirted out a mouthful of red wine, covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "Actually, the business is good for a while, I will pay attention to the suitable rental information around you later." ”

"How can it be so easy to make money? You have to pay rent, water, electricity, and various management fees and taxes, but in fact, there is not much left. Besides, now it is said that children can't lose at the starting line, and I see that many children in Hailang Kindergarten are learning piano, dance, and foreign languages...... A lot of specialty class training. Save some money, it's better to let Chu Chu learn more things. ”

Zhuo Yuan thought for a while: "No, you see that business is very good for a while." In the future, you will open branches around other universities, open two by one, and then make a chain to promote the whole country, make a top brand in half a time, and then go public, and then rush out of Asia to the world, and soon step on KFC and McDonald's under your feet, and then you will be idle at home counting money and playing. ”

"It's like it's true." Chu Jing glared at him angrily.

Zhuo Yuan smiled: "Am I not right? ”

"If I really believe you, I will be sold by you every minute and help you count the money. Drink a bowl of chicken soup, I'll serve you ......."

"Don't, I'll ...... it myself"

Zhuo Yuan, who was full of wine and food, walked out for a while, looked at the faint light behind the roller shutter, and sighed lightly.

The mobile phone vibrated wildly in the pocket, and the caller ID was Tao Dafeng.

"Hey, Captain Tao, hello."

"Hello, hello, that's the case, our Haijin Municipal Bureau has just received a notice that a special task force has been transferred from the Beijing Department, and several powerful departments have been combined to take over the last case. Our city bureau is responsible for cooperating. I'm sure I'll have to tell you about it. ”

Tao Dafeng's mood was excited, he knew that it was a difficult case. He was found in the hospital, and further up, the people of the Shi family pulled out his black gauze hat in minutes. Just in a dilemma, he suddenly got this good news, just like in ancient times, he had pushed to the noon gate and was about to ask for a beheading, and suddenly a big inner guard rushed to the horse, saying that the emperor wanted to amnesty the world.

Moreover, although Tao Dafeng is not so advanced, it does not mean that he has no vision. The case was directly taken over by the ministry and several major departments in the capital, which means that the upper side is really angry, this is to knock the Shi family to the ground in one fell swoop, and if you step on it again, you will never be able to turn over. Think about it again, since Zhuo Yuan took over, a series of trends have been unexpected, this master is a figure who can reach the sky!

He knew that he would not make this call, and Zhuo Yuan would soon know the news. But when I made this call, it meant that I took refuge. Tao Dafeng is not young, and now he is still the captain of the criminal police of the city bureau, it is not as good as a sub-bureau chief, there are many cases and heavy responsibilities, and he can't rank in the top few positions in the bureau.

Zhuo Yuan didn't take it seriously, and said casually: "That hard work Captain Tao, I hope you can catch all the criminals." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what we should do."

"By the way, I rescued Chu Chu last time, Chu Jing thanked you very much, and wanted to invite you to a meal, or give you some gifts or something. Later, we discussed it and felt that the investigation is very strict now, in case it causes you trouble, it is not good. That's it, when is it convenient, I will invite Captain Tao to have a light meal to express my gratitude for Chu Jing. ”

"Yo, how can this be. Otherwise, I'll arrange it this weekend, I'll please. “

Zhuo Yuan immediately rejected the proposal: "Thank you, how can you invite?" ”

"Didn't you also say it, the investigation is strict, I personally pay out of my pocket to invite you to dinner, it's okay, if you invite me, then ......" Tao Dafeng said solemnly. I thought, you are the uncle of the Secret Service, a person who can reach the sky, I still want to have a good relationship with you, see if I can go further in your path in the future, who cares about a meal?

"Okay, I'll get back in touch then." Zhuo Yuan was about to hang up the phone, when he suddenly remembered something: "Wait, Captain Tao, please do me a favor with something." ”

"You say. Lao Tao has nothing to say! ”

Zhuo Yuan said for a while, and Tao Dafeng agreed again and again.

Hanging up the phone, Zhuo Yuan blew the night breeze and walked towards Tianhao Apartment as if he were walking.

A person walked along the side of the road, wearing a mask, lowering his head, as if there was something urgent, and his shoulder hit Zhuo Yuan's right shoulder.

Zhuo Yuan tilted his shoulders slightly, wanting to get out of the way, but he didn't expect that the man seemed to be standing unsteadily, and fell down to Zhuo Yuan's body, his left hand buckled to Zhuo Yuan's waist, and his right hand was on Zhuo Yuan's collarbone.

Zhuo Yuan's face changed slightly, it seemed to be an embarrassing action, the waist, eyes and throat were all vital points of the human body, and that person only needed to move slightly, and he would fall into the control of the other party. But now Zhuo Yuan, who has already built the foundation period, is not the Wuxia Ameng in the past, and in a moment, where others seem to be very fast, he can clearly see every subtle movement of that person, and even feel the exuberant battle intent in that person's eyes.

With a slight twist of his waist, he dodged the arm he caught, and Zhuo Yuan raised his left hand and buckled the man's right elbow. He didn't panic, with a slight tip of his toes, he slammed into Zhuo Yuan's heart, dodged his right elbow like lightning, shook his wrist, and grabbed Zhuo Yuan's mouth.

Zhuo Yuan snorted coldly, did not dodge or dodge, and rushed forward, in an instant, the real air turned, five fingers like a gun, and the two of them held each other's ten fingers.

"Special service, your own people!" The man whispered.

"Be careful when you walk." Zhuo Yuan grabbed the man's shoulder socket with his right hand, helped him up, and then shook his hand away.

He looked at Zhuo Yuan's back, took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, flicked it at the bottom of the box, and a cigarette flew into the air, drawing a wonderful arc and falling into his mouth.

Tapping lightly on the lighter, he took a deep puff of cigarette, a puff of smoke that diffused his face.

In an instant, countless beads of sweat flowed down his face, his painful expression could not be suppressed, and his clenched teeth almost didn't bite off the filter.

He looked down at the five carrot-like fingers, and scolded in a low voice: "It hurts Lao Tzu to death, bastard, the seventeenth master speaks slowly, why are you going to abolish Lao Tzu?" ”
