At half past six in the afternoon, at the door of a private restaurant, Han Dongwen and Xu Zheng and his two small hair stood at the door to greet guests.

Han Rui and Tian Xinyue sat inside and waited.

This private dish is still ordered by grandma Su Tongyun's face, and the taste of the meal naturally does not have to worry, the most important thing is privacy and taste.

It is said that he is a descendant of the imperial chef, and after the state banquet, if there is no introducer, they do not accept private reservations at all.

There are many friends in my grandmother's senior group, so I booked today's dinner after being introduced.

After a while, Xu Zheng's colleagues and friends rushed over one after another, and the first one who ran over was Niu Panpan, who took several auxiliary police officers from the action brigade, all of whom were colleagues who often worked with Xu Zheng, of course, this is also their task today.

Some of the people who have tasks are WeChat red envelopes, 500 per person, and at this time, he has received more than 10,000 yuan, most of which are red envelopes sent by his special police friends.

Including the friends he met at the martial arts tournament last time, when he heard that he was married, they all sent red envelopes today.

Approaching the National Day, other units may still have holidays, but the special police officers have no holidays a week ago.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of people from the Liulihe Police Station rushed over under the leadership of instructor Lu Yan and deputy director Cao Lijun, and there must have been some people who did not come, and those who did not come gave Xu Zheng red envelopes as usual.

Director Wang Nianpan and Xu Zheng's master Anru are much closer to him, they are going to come back on the wedding day, and they will take two or three hours off at that time, of course, if there is an urgent task that can't come, Xu Zhengjia will naturally understand.

A group of people politely said a few words at the door, Han Dongwen personally took them to the inner bread room, how to sit after a while, he didn't let Xu Zheng worry about it, and then arranged it when everyone arrived.

After a while, all the members of the second team rushed over, and there were some acquaintances from a large group who came with them, like Hu Yanshan, Huo Wei'an, the Wan team, Yang Zhengchang and Yan Zizhong came in a car, as for whether the three of them came on the wedding day, it is unknown.

As soon as they arrived, Xu Xiuchuan of the Yiqiao District Bureau and Huang Tiantao, the captain of the criminal police brigade, also rushed over.

The Wan detachment joked to Xu Xiuchuan, "It's different when Lao Xu is promoted, his nephew is treated, hehe, he is the latest." ”

"Yohe, aren't you also promoted this time, hmph, if I hadn't introduced Xu Zheng to you, your promotion would have been so smooth?"

Xu Xiuchuan concurrently served as the deputy head of the district, the provincial capital, and Wan Haihong were both at the department level, and the two had been old friends for many years, except for Yang Zhengchang, everyone else didn't seem to hear what they were saying.

When the two were joking with each other, Zheng Heming and Qi Guangyuan from the provincial department rushed over.

Xu Zheng didn't expect Zheng Heming to come over in person, he thought that he would let Qi Guangyuan come instead of him, "Teacher Zheng, why did you come here in person, delaying your time." ”

Zheng Heming not only came in person, but also gave a red envelope.

As soon as he came, he directly became the person with the highest police rank in the audience, two bars and two flowers, even if it was civilian clothes, but everyone knew it in their hearts.

Detachment Wan and Xu Xiuchuan also hurriedly greeted them, and then Han Dongwen came out and sent them all inside.

The next people to come were all other departments of the Municipal Bureau, such as forensic doctor Wang Dong, who had worked with Xu Zheng a few times, and some of them knew each other and learned that he was married, no, with colleagues or friends.

At seven o'clock, everyone who should have come came, and even the deputy chief of the provincial reconnaissance team sent his son Liao Hong to rush over.

Others, like the songs in Suyun City, are red envelopes that are sent.

There are more than 30 people who came, exactly four tables, basically all of them are policemen, this kind of occasion plus the proximity of the National Day, everyone does not drink, just drink some drinks, this does not drink, the banquet ends much faster, more than two hours, everyone is full of food and drink, satisfied to leave.

Han Rui had a little morning sickness during the banquet, and before she finished eating, Tian Xinyue took her away first.

After sending them away, Xu Zheng and Han Dongwen looked at each other and smiled, and they both relaxed.

looked at the plates in the restaurant one by one, and there was not even much left of the leader's table, which shows how powerful the master's skill is.

The taste is good, the price is naturally expensive, and when checking out, Xu Zheng only knew that there was a table of eight thousand eight.

That's not even counting the drinks, or else...

Today, he received a total of more than 50 red envelopes, all of which were 500, except for the leaders of the 10,000 detachment, which was 1,000, and more than 30,000 yuan plus one piece, which just paid for today's meal.

Unexpectedly, when checking out, the mysterious chef actually came out, it was a man in his forties, and he stopped Xu Zheng from paying first, "You are Xu Zheng, Officer Xu, right?" ”

Seeing that Xu Zheng didn't deny it, he stretched out his hand, "I'm the owner of this shop, my surname is Qi, I can't hide it, I have something to ask you, can I delay you for a while?" ”

Xu Zheng stretched out his hand and shook it with him, people are so polite, there must be something to ask for, he smiled: "Then let's sit down and say, we still have to thank you for today's matter, look at these plates, you know how satisfied my leaders and colleagues and friends are." ”

Nowadays, even if it is a Chinese restaurant in a five-star hotel, diners can't make a CD, of course, it doesn't count to take it away.

Today's meal really made Xu Zheng's guests have a good meal, this is to give him a face, feel at home, one word: value!

Therefore, now that the boss has something to ask for, Xu Zheng is naturally happy, of course, everyone is an adult, and there is a limit to helping, which is understood.

In the tea room, Boss Qi personally made a pot of good Yuhua tea, chatted politely for a while, and everyone relaxed, "It's like this, Officer Xu, I recognized you as soon as you came just now, plus there are so many leaders here today."

You're not simple, I used to think that those on the Internet...."

Xu Zheng took a sip of tea, which was mellow and refreshing, the aroma was elegant, and there was no modesty, "This is all the love of the leader, but I must still have some ability." ”

"Haha, okay, I'm just looking for someone who has the ability." Boss Qi clasped his fists with both hands and gestured to Xu Zheng, "My grandfather is 101 years old this year, and he has a regret, that is, my grandmother died when he was in his twenties, and my grandfather went to Wanwan Province again in 49 years.

Later, my grandfather kept asking people to find his own brother.

It's a pity that seventy or eighty years have passed, and the grandfather has not been found, and there is not even the whereabouts of his descendants.

Now my grandfather is an old man, but he talks about my grandmother and my grandfather every day.

I asked the famous painters of Changming to draw a portrait of their mother and son when they were young, based on the words that my grandfather often uttered, as well as the description of his grandmother and grandfather in his previous diary.

But my grandfather said they didn't draw like that.

Computer-generated ones don't work.

I saw the news of Officer Xu a few days ago, and I learned that the police also have a profession called a simulated portraitist.

I happened to meet today, so I took the liberty of asking Officer Xu to help me.

In terms of salary, rest assured, you will definitely be satisfied. ”

Xu Zheng scratched his eyebrows, and this kind of thing, not only reminded him that he had painted portraits of his grandmother's old friends half a year ago, the old men asked him to draw the bones, and the old ladies asked to draw charming, in fact, it just means that they can draw the epitome of life that they are most satisfied with.

Seeing Xu Zheng bowing his head and pondering, Boss Qi directly took out a card, "This is the diamond card of our store, and you can order food once a week." There is also Officer Xu, today's fee is all free, and how much is the difference, we can discuss it again. ”

Xu Zheng looked at this ordinary card, which can only be used once a week, and it is not discounted, but he believes that there must be many people who want this card in Changming, so he did not make a decision first, but looked at Han Dongwen first.

Of course, Han Dongwen was not interested in money or anything, but his eyes stayed on this diamond card for a while.

Xu Zheng said: "Boss Qi, our son-in-law likes your craftsmanship very much, this diamond card is too tempting for us, I agree to your request, but how much should it cost to pack a meal today." ”

Both sides of this transaction are very satisfied, in fact, Xu Zheng is completely reasonable and legal to make money with his painting skills, as long as the price of a painting is not too bizarre, even if he sues the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he is not afraid.

But this time, in addition to this diamond card, I still want to fulfill the 101-year-old man's thoughts.

In Changming, this age is already an auspicious existence, and being able to do something for this old man is, in Xu Zheng's view, a meaningful act.

Of course, he didn't deny that he was gluttonous, and besides, if he didn't want this diamond card today, his father-in-law would probably be angry.

Since he agreed, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, Xu Zheng wanted to start immediately, Boss Qi has prepared a complete range of painting materials here, in addition to the four treasures of the study, there are also some oil painting materials.

Xu Zheng only chose a few pencils and manuscript paper for sketching, focusing on the old man's diary and his description of his mother and brother.

The portrait of the old man when he was young is very easy to draw, he is still alive, and there are many photos now, and I painted it after studying it.

The more difficult thing is the sketches of his mother and brother, fortunately, the old man often chatters, and he has a rough idea of what he looks like, Xu Zheng referred to the previous painter again, and after studying for a while, he realized that it was not that these people did not paint like each other, but that they did not draw the spirit of the people of that era.

It is difficult to draw people and tigers, the old man is 101 years old, the time of birth should be 1933, by 1949 he was 16 years old, and he was a native of Changming, and he was only four years old in the 37-year catastrophe, how to escape Boss Qi did not say.

But the old man will live in the shadow of the catastrophe when he is a teenager, and the only person who can give him a sense of security is the mother who pulled him and his eldest brother to grow up.

Now the old man lives to this age and often talks about his mother and eldest brother, it is very likely that the old man is afraid of death, and before he dies, he wants to find the sense of security that he used to have.

Thinking of this, Xu Zheng stopped his pen, turned his head to look at Boss Qi seriously, and said solemnly: "Some people know the destiny of heaven when they live to a certain age, the so-called destiny of heaven is ethereal, and your old man often talks about his mother and eldest brother, this is obsession, and it is also his destiny."

Boss Qi, if I really paint the painting that the old man wants, I will help him fulfill his last wish, what will be the consequences, I don't need to say more, right? ”

When the obsession is completed, the destiny of heaven is naturally cut off.

Although the death of a 101-year-old man is a happy mourning, some old people are living to be the greatest help to their family, so the pen in Xu Zheng's hand stopped.

It's better to make this matter clear, after all, he is not only a simulated portraitist, but also a policeman.

A painting sent away an old man, and it is really difficult to be held accountable.

Boss Qi's face became serious, after Xu Zheng said this, he also understood, if grandpa really saw the painting that satisfied him, there was an eighty percent chance that his old man would smile Jiuquan.

But the Qi family is not what he said alone, Xu Zheng's caution is not unreasonable, "Officer Xu, you are right, I didn't think about this matter, do you think this will work, this matter will be slowed down for a while, and after your wedding, let's make an appointment to talk about it, how about it?" ”

Of course, Xu Zheng was happy about this, in fact, he regretted taking this order a little, and now he just had time, he could also ask the leader and the lawyer to see if it was suitable.

On the way back, Han Dongwen casually threw the diamond card into the car cabinet, and no longer had the attitude of paying attention to it before, "If I knew that there was such a thing, we shouldn't have agreed to him, let's talk about it, or be greedy and get into trouble, it is estimated that if we go back, we will have to be criticized." ”

"Dad, I can't say that, if the Qi family agrees and is willing to sign a waiver agreement, I'm still quite willing to help this 101-year-old man." Xu Zheng was driving, although he regretted it a little, but if he chose again, he would agree to come down.

Han Dongwen was still a little uneasy, and said with a sad face: "Yes, 101 years old, this is Xiangrui, helping him with the old man can be regarded as accumulating good deeds, forget it, I'll ask the lawyer when I go back, if there is really an accident, what is the responsibility." ”

"Do you accumulate good deeds?" Xu Zhengnian chattered twice, "Dad, do you remember Jiang Lanxin's Internet celebrity who is looking for children?" ”

Han Dongwen was stunned for a moment, why did he talk about this woman again, "Haven't you drawn a simulated portrait of her child yet?" What, she's coming to you again? ”

Xu Zheng scratched his eyebrows with his left hand, "She probably has been trying to find a way to find me at this time, just now I saw the appearance of my colleague, and I guessed that Jiang Lanxin must have gone to the city bureau again, I didn't ask just now, and my colleague didn't tell me."

Alas, to be honest, if I could really help her, I wouldn't have avoided it, but..."

Because Xu Zheng helped Zhou Youfang find the child, Han Dongwen paid attention to the two Internet celebrities Zhou Youfang and Jiang Lanxin on Douyin, "This Jiang Lanxin should not be a bad person in essence, you see, neither of them has posted any videos on their Douyin accounts about the events of the past two days."

Jiang Lanxin really wants to force you, just her more than 2 million fans can be hyped. ”

Seeing that Xu Zheng still had a bitter face, looking very thoughtful, obviously thinking about how to make a simulated portrait again, Han Dongwen was a little distressed, and asked curiously: "Xiaozheng, you make a simulated portrait of Jiang Lanxin's daughter, what conditions do you need?" ”

Xu Zheng looked at his father-in-law who cared about him, this is his father, but then again, if his father was still there, the father and son would really not have such a friendly exchange, "It's very simple to say, it is based on the appearance of the child's parents, and then consider some acquired factors that affect the appearance..."

"It is said that daughters look like fathers, in fact, some children are like elders, such as grandparents, uncles and aunts, do you also have to think about it, maybe, Jiang Lanxin's daughter looks like an aunt or grandmother?"

Xu Zheng smiled, "Dad, we have all considered what you said, I have even studied the appearance of Jiang Lanxin's daughter's cousin and cousin, speaking of which, they don't look alike..."

Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed in his mind, Jiang Lanxin's daughter Yan Mo, could her biological father be someone else, this person would not be her uncle, nor would it be her grandfather, would it be her uncle and uncle?

It is generally said that daughters are like fathers, but this statement is a matter of probability, Xu Zheng did not think about it before, and it was all studied according to the dossier.

But now, he feels more and more that this conjecture is very possible, after all, there are really some men in this society who have been looking for their children for decades, but in the end they find that it is not their son.
