At half past five in the afternoon, half an hour before he got off work, Chen Molei called Shangguan Yun with a glimmer of hope and asked her about the auction of Yongchang Company's land and real estate. As expected, no one was willing to bid.

Chen Molei couldn't help but worry: it seems that the first online auction will definitely fail, and if the second price reduction is also lost, even if the third price reduction online auction is completed, the value of Yongchang Company's land and real estate will also shrink greatly, and the creditor's rights that the creditor company can recover will also shrink greatly.

Over the years, Chen Molei has developed a habit - as long as he shifts his attention to books, he can temporarily forget about bad emotions such as troubles, anxiety, and loss. He picked up the old and new copy of the Civil Procedure Law at hand, and continued where he had been before, looking at it word by word, until he got off work.

Walking out of the office, Chen Molei called his wife Luo Hongying. He remembered that his wife didn't have classes tonight, and he wanted to ask what he was going to eat tonight, but his wife said that he would be a substitute teacher tonight and would not come back until 9 o'clock, so he would eat alone.

Back at home, he was the only one in the house. My son is in his first year of high school this year and is studying at Dongzhou No. 1 Middle School. Originally, his son could go to school, but Chen Moray and his wife let him live in the school in order to have a better learning atmosphere for him, and in order to let him sleep more in the morning and evening. Therefore, only by waiting until the weekend or holiday can the family of three have time to reunite.

Originally, Chen Molei had already adapted to this situation, but after a summer vacation, he suddenly didn't adapt to it, because of the implementation of the attack this year, he didn't accompany his wife and son much, and this summer vacation passed, and he always felt a little indebted in his heart. Now, he sat alone in the empty living room, and he felt a little lonely in addition to the debt.

Chen Molei eats alone, and he has never been very particular. There were quick-frozen dumplings in the refrigerator, and he took two bags, cooked them, dipped them in chili sauce, and served dinner. After eating, he took out the half-read "Interpretation of the General Principles of the Civil Law" from the study, and waited for his wife to come home while reading.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, my wife rushed back on time, and the house suddenly increased a lot of popularity. Chen Molei put down the book and asked her if she had had dinner. My wife smiled and said, I have eaten at school a long time ago, can I still expect you to bring me food?

The wife turned on the TV and said that there was a fantasy drama that became popular as soon as it was broadcast, and asked him if he wanted to watch it together. Chen Molei picked up the book with a smile and said, I am past the age of watching that kind of TV series, instead of chasing those unrealistic TV series, it is better to learn some professional knowledge.

His wife gave him a blank look and said, you are pragmatic, but you are also too pragmatic, and you only know that you are holding a law book in your hand.

Chen Molei closed the book and said, who said that? When I first chased you, I didn't hold a law book, but a large bouquet of roses. Just that bouquet of flowers cost me a month's pocket money.

The wife retorted, just that bouquet of flowers, you can remember it until now! You say, what else did you give me besides that bouquet of flowers?

Chen Molei was stunned, it seemed that he had indeed never sent anything to his wife.

The TV series started, and the wife only cared about chasing the drama, and she had no time to argue. Chen Molei sat next to him reading a book while accompanying his wife. At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the TV series ended, and the two went to bed with the lights out.

I don't know how long it took, but Chen Molei and his wife, who were asleep, were awakened by a bang. Chen Molei turned on the light and found that the window glass in the middle of the south wall was broken: circles of circular cracks extended outward, like a huge spider web hanging on the window, which made people shudder against the backdrop of night.

But Chen Moray never seems to be afraid of these two words in his dictionary. According to what he usually learned from Zheng Xudong, after getting out of bed, he stuck to the window and leaned sideways to observe downstairs to prevent exposing himself. Through the dim street lamp, he saw a black figure running west on the road, which led to the direction of the fence on the west side of the community.

Chen Molei turned his head and saw his wife's pale face, knowing that she was very frightened, so he hurriedly comforted her and said, don't be afraid, people have run away.

The wife asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Molei said, what else can it be, it must be that I have offended people. I think you'd better go to school for a few days first. The home is not safe for the time being, our house is on the 3rd floor, this floor, not to mention slingshots, air guns, even stones can be hit.

The wife nodded and said, okay, what about you?

Chen Molei said, I want to stay and catch this person. If I'm right, he'll definitely come back.

My wife said, "Then you have to be careful."

Chen Moray said, I know. With that, he began to investigate the crime scene on his own. In the center of the crack, he saw a perforation the size of a soybean: it could pierce tempered glass, it should be an air gun, and the bullet should be buckshot; Since it had pierced the glass, the bullet must have landed in the bedroom. So, he crouched down on the ground and began a carpet search, and he circled the edge of the bed several times, but found nothing. In the end, it was the wife who found the bullet behind the bedroom door.

Chen Molei's analysis is correct, this bullet is lead bullet, and it is exactly the same as the bullet encountered in Xiao Huilan's case. He suddenly had an idea in his heart: the two times he broke the window in the middle of the night with the same lead bullet, could it be the same person?

Chen Molei wanted to chase him out to have a look, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, because at this time, the person must have run away without a trace, and even if he caught up, the other party had an air gun in his hand, he couldn't fight others, but he might still suffer.

There may be fingerprints on the lead bullet, which is an important clue to solve the case, but Chen Moray has neither white gloves nor physical evidence bags at home, so he had to find a pair of tweezers and a small medicine bottle from the living room, and carefully put the lead bullet into the medicine bottle with tweezers, ready to hand over the lead bullet to Zheng Xudong of the Public Security Bureau tomorrow.

After doing all this, Chen Molei looked at his watch, it was almost 3 o'clock in the morning. He closed the curtains to cover the cobweb, and then said to his wife, "Go to sleep." He was just about to turn off the lights, but his wife said she was scared and didn't turn them off. Chen Molei said that turning on the light is equivalent to providing accurate positioning for people, what if that person comes back again, it is better to turn it off; Don't be afraid, you go to sleep first, I'll watch over you.

After a long while, his wife fell asleep in a daze, but Chen Molei couldn't sleep at all. He's like that, as long as he has something in his heart, he will lose sleep.

Insomnia is an ordeal, especially late at night. Chen Molei subconsciously opened the drawer of the bedside table and touched it a few times, only then did he remember that in order to show his wife his determination to quit smoking, he had given away all the cigarettes in the house. Now let alone cigarettes, I'm afraid I can't even find a lighter at home.

Lying on the bed, Chen Molei couldn't help but think of Xiao Huilan's case, the same situation happened to him now. Thinking of this, he actually had a trace of inexplicable sympathy for Xiao Huilan, who was extremely disgusted at the beginning.

Character aside, anyone has an instinctive need for security. At this moment, Chen Molei personally realized how important it is for the right to housing security to be written into the law.

However, the sense of security is not obtained in a vacuum, but everyone needs to fulfill the obligation of acting or not acting in accordance with the law.

At the beginning, he had clearly said that he would patrol 24 hours a day, but after 2 o'clock in the morning, he had never seen the shadow of a security patrol. Before this, he didn't really care much about this matter, because he believed that sleeping at night was a physiological need, and the security of the community had never been a problem. However, just tonight, his sense of rights suddenly burst out, and it has never been so strong.

Early the next morning, he ran to the security guard duty room and scolded the two security guards on duty.

The two security guards were afraid of smashing their jobs, so they kept admitting their mistakes, begging Chen Molei not to report the matter to their superiors, and seeing that Chen Molei did not forgive, the two also made two commitments: one is to carry out 24-hour patrols in strict accordance with the company's regulations in the future; Second, if the murderer cannot be found in the end, the money for the replacement of the new glass will be paid by them.

Seeing that the two security guards were forced to break the fortune and avoid disasters, Chen Molei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: What is the difference between his attitude and those who are executed as scoundrels? Is this like the cultivation of a judge?

He calmed down and said, as long as you strictly enforce the 24-hour patrol rules in the future, the money for changing the glass will be forgotten.

The two security guards were overjoyed and said a lot of good things as if they were grateful.

After breakfast, Chen Molei went to wash the dishes, and his wife silently went to the bedroom to pack her luggage.

On the way to school, Chen Molei kept babbling and talking about all the self-protection skills he learned from Zheng Xudong. In normal times, his wife would definitely say that his mother-in-law and mother looked like a Tang monk, but today, she just kept nodding.

After arriving at Dongzhou No. 2 Middle School, Chen Molei helped his wife move her suitcase to the dormitory, and handed her an old mobile phone, saying, what I said just now have been recorded, and they are all in this old mobile phone, I am afraid that you will not remember, it is better to listen to it again.

The wife's eyes moistened suddenly, and only then did she realize that her husband, who had always had thick lines, also had such a delicate side.
