"Huh?" When Gu Chen said this, Lu Weiwei remembered the oath she made this summer.

But now that I think about it, it's a little embarrassing.

He Junchao smiled teasingly: "I also remember this, almost everyone in the office heard it at that time, right?"

"Haha. Hearing that Gu Chen was talking to He Junchao, Officer Wang smiled and said: "But it wasn't until now that you were frozen into a dog, and Lu Weiwei found out that she was too young to blame for her too beautiful promise." ”

"Let me tell you Lu Weiwei, in the unheated south, the happiest moment for you after a busy day is to come home, take off your clothes and pants, and immediately get into the warm bed. ”

Then he wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, but then you suddenly realized, Nima, the light was not turned off. ”

"Haha, Lao Wang, you are poisonous. Lu Weiwei raised her fist and slammed Officer Wang's back.

After all, some new northern friends can't understand the cold of getting up in the south.

In the northern winter, the water drips into ice outside, but the temperature inside the house is midsummer.

Therefore, many police officers believe that the factor affecting the unity of the people in the north and the south is heating.

After rubbing the hand cream, everyone's work for the day began to be busy again.

Gu Chen wanted to compile the file into a book and hand it over to Zhao Guozhi for reference.

However, Zhao Guozhi was also quite satisfied after reading Gu Chen's closing report.

You know, a case that spans 20 years is quite tricky to deal with.

This time the case was handed over to Gu Chen, and Zhao Guozhi was also very painful.

But after all, it's the consciousness assigned from above, and it's not easy for me not to accept it.

originally thought that the case would take a lot of time to solve, but he never thought that Gu Chen led the criminal investigation team to find clues and visit the parties in a very short period of time.

It can be said that this case can be solved, and luck accounts for a part, but it is more due to the efforts of Gu Chen's team.

In particular, at the same time as the finger palm print information database was perfected, the parties who left the finger palm prints on the tape were found.

But things are man-made, and the detection of some cases often requires a little luck.

"Good job. After Zhao Guozhi checked the file, he closed the documents and said with emotion: "Originally, I handed over this case to you to deal with, but I was still a little worried at first. ”

"But now it seems that the speed of solving the case is much faster than expected, and you are better than I thought. ”

Thanks to the full cooperation of Liu's forensic team, we were able to find flaws in the finger print samples that had been dormant for many years. "Gu Chen didn't want to be greedy either.

This time, the case was solved, and Liu's forensic team played a very important role.

Zhao Guozhi nodded with satisfaction, and also smiled faintly: "In short, this case also reminds us that no matter how long it takes, don't give up your efforts to track down the murderer." ”

"If we choose to give up after 20 years of investigation, it means that all the efforts we have made over the past 20 years have been in vain. ”

"But one day, the god of fate may befall us, and this case can take a turn for the better, and we can get justice for the families of those victims back then. ”

"That's right. Listening to Zhao Guozhi's words, Gu Chen felt the same way.

In particular, I personally visited the families of the victims, and I really felt that life was not easy.

After all, the tragedy of that year directly led to the collapse of a happy family.

For 20 years, relatives and friends have been immersed in incomparable grief and indignation.

There are even questions about the work of the police.

These were deeply touched during Gu Chen's visit.

Fortunately, in the end, the case was successfully solved, and the murderer of the black car driver Lu Jun was also arrested by the police one by one.

It can be said that it can be regarded as an explanation to the family of the deceased.

Gu Chen, who had been in Zhao Guozhi's office for a long time, also returned to the criminal investigation team after listening to Zhao Guozhi's teachings, and passed Zhao Guozhi's original words to the three teams, so that everyone could understand the spirit and make persistent efforts.

......

......

Leave work in the afternoon.

As usual, everyone packed up their work and prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat.

But at this time, the sky was gradually falling sleet.

Looking at the sudden surprise, everyone was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

Everyone was lying on the windowsill.

There are also many southern police officers who rushed directly into the playground and felt the happiness brought by sleet.

Seeing this scene, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh and said: "Poor southern child, it's just sleet, and it's all water on your body." ”

"But you also have to understand the happiness of southerners when they see snow. He Junchao's voice fell, and he rushed into the playground like a child, feeling the happiness brought by the sleet with several police officers.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei suddenly stopped Gu Chen, Yuan Shasha and Officer Wang.

"Wait a minute. ”

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen turned his head and asked.

Lu Weiwei smiled lightly and said, "Anyway, you don't have to work overtime at night, it just happened to be snowing today, how about going to rub the hot pot together?"

"Huh, great idea. When Yuan Shasha heard this, she immediately agreed: "On such a cold day, it's really nice to have a hot pot, Senior Brother Gu, Senior Brother Wang, let's go together?"

Officer Wang glanced at Gu Chen and asked, "Gu Chen, what do you think?"

"I don't care, but I have to change my clothes first. Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei didn't say a word, she directly grabbed Gu Chen's arm and ran to the dormitory, saying as she ran: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and change your clothes." ”

After a while, everyone changed into casual clothes, brought umbrellas, and prepared to take a car to the business district to eat hot pot together.

Lu Weiwei was very careful and did not carry her own umbrella.

So three umbrellas, four people.

Officer Wang was curious: "Lu Weiwei, where is your umbrella?"

"It's broken. Lu Weiwei said.

Officer Wang raised his eyebrows: "But the day before yesterday, I saw that your umbrella was good." ”

"Yesterday was broken. Lu Weiwei said again.

Officer Wang smiled faintly, and said indifferently: "Anyway, Gu Chen will drive later, and there is no need for it." ”

"What kind of car are you driving?" Lu Weiwei heard this, and immediately vetoed: "I know that there is a hot pot restaurant that is very good, and the decoration style is arranged according to the decoration of the old Jiangnan City with a strong sense of age, and it is still an Internet celebrity check-in place, not far from our branch, two blocks away." ”

Looking up at the sleet falling in the sky, Lu Weiwei said again: "Don't you think it's quite romantic to walk on the street with an umbrella in this weather?"

"Romantic ghost, I'm cold. Officer Wang shrunk his neck and said with some resistance: "Walking outside on this cold day, you are not cold, I am cold." ”

"It's hot after a walk, let's walk, shall we?" Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen expectantly.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "Listen to Senior Sister Lu." ”

"Alright, hurry. Lu Weiwei opened Gu Chen's umbrella, and then hugged Gu Chen.

Officer Wang looked at it and immediately understood what it meant.

The heart said that this is the real purpose of you Lu Weiwei, right?

Several people talked and laughed, walking on the road together.

Pedestrians on the streets were busy, and everyone was extra excited because of the sleet.

You must know that it is all due to the will of God that it does not snow in Jiangnan City in recent years, and it is normal for there to be no snow all year round.

But in Gu Chen's impression, when he was a child, Jiangnan City had to snow every year.

According to Lu Weiwei's guidance, everyone came to the door of a hot pot restaurant.

Lu Weiwei pointed to the gate and said, "This is it, newly opened, with a large area." ”

"That's it?" Looking at such a small storefront, Officer Wang couldn't believe it: "With such a small door, how big can the store be?"

"You still don't admit it, you know after you enter the door, this is someone's decoration style, understand?"

At the instigation of Lu Weiwei, everyone walked into this hot pot restaurant.

As Lu Weiwei said, when you enter the small door, there is a hole inside.

Officer Wang, who had just walked through the door, almost thought that he had traveled back decades.

All the decorations here, three-dimensional realistic, all the wooden tables are very retro, including old photos, knick-knacks.

There is no uniform style for the dining table inside, and it is all arranged according to the scene.

At first glance, I thought I had come to the old town of Jiangnan decades ago.

A waitress in a vintage worker's uniform walked over and asked, "How many, please?"

"Four. Gu Chen stretched out four fingers.

The waitress looked left and right, but she was a little embarrassed.

After all, it was the peak dining season at this time, and there was a serious shortage of seats.

Since she couldn't find a suitable seat, the waitress said with some embarrassment, "Because there are not enough tables, can you wait?"

"Ahh As soon as he heard that there were no vacant seats, Officer Wang immediately turned around and left.

But she was grabbed by Lu Weiwei, and she was also angry: "This is an Internet celebrity spot, and it is normal that there is no vacancy for a while, so what's the matter with waiting? ”

After looking around for a week, Lu Weiwei said again: "Besides, of course, I came here to take pictures, so let's visit around first and pass the time." ”

"That's right. The waitress listened to Lu Weiwei speaking for her hot pot restaurant, and responded with a light smile: "We are an Internet celebrity spot here, and you can take pictures in every area, and the decoration is different from each angle." ”

"You can go to the second floor and sit down for a while, there are some empty seats there. ”

"That'll do. Seeing that everyone was so insistent, Officer Wang didn't want to ruin Lu Weiwei's interest, so he agreed: "Let's go to the second floor and wait." ”

A few people talked and laughed, and walked up the retro staircase to the second floor.

The décor on the second floor is also very old-fashioned, with several benches around it, and there are already a few young couples waiting there.

Looking down from the corridor on the second floor, it looks like a large courtyard, integrated with the environment, full of the smell of fireworks in the world.

Looking at the various slogans with a great sense of age pasted on the wall, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that our Chinese characters are really broad and profound, the same words can be read in many different ways to express the same meaning." ”

"Then you still need to say it?" Officer Wang was also visiting, and he casually found a long wooden bench to sit down first, and also talked eloquently: "For example, I don't want to play anymore, and I don't want to play anymore." ”

"I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play. ”

"I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore, there's nothing wrong with it, right? ”

"Are you chewing words?" Gu Chen looked at the text slogan in the opposite corridor, and also smiled teasingly.

Yuan Shasha said: "To say that the Chinese language is broad and profound, but there are also many sayings that make us in a dilemma, for example, as the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, but as the saying goes, high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone." ”

"As the saying goes, marrying a chicken is a chicken, marrying a dog is a dog, but as the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. ”

"As the saying goes, a manly man can bend and stretch, but as the saying goes, a manly man would rather die than give in. ”

"Tsk. When Officer Wang heard this, he also sank into it and said: "There is also a saying that the bitter sea is boundless and the shore is the shore, but as the saying goes, there is no turning back arrow when you open the bow." ”

"As the saying goes, a good horse doesn't eat grass, but as the saying goes, the prodigal son doesn't change his money. Lu Weiwei also continued to add.

Gu Chen smiled faintly: "So the gun shoots the first bird, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten, which shows that if a person wants to beat you, he can always find a reason." ”

"Haha, Senior Brother Gu, you are poisonous. Lu Weiwei was amused by Gu Chen, but while laughing out of tears, she found that not far from her, on a double seat, a woman was sitting there crying silently, and there was a small cake on the table.

"Eh!" Lu Weiwei touched Gu Chen's shoulder with her arm, and gestured with her eyes: "See, that woman seems to be crying." ”

"Where?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Officer Wang quickly turned his head to look.

At this moment, everyone found out that a woman in her 20s was sitting alone in the corner at this time, and Douda's tears kept falling.

In front of her, there was a small cake, and there were some unlit candles scattered on the table.

"Is that person on his birthday?" Ms. Yuan said.

"But why is it a person?" Lu Weiwei wondered.

Officer Wang smiled faintly: "It's not a big deal, it's not that no one celebrates her birthday, these days, everyone is a part-time worker, how many people can have time to celebrate their birthday when they go out?"

Lu Weiwei felt that the situation was wrong, so she proposed: "Why don't you go over and have a look?"

"Go ahead, I'm staring at the empty seats. Officer Wang cocked Erlang's legs and continued to look at the seats downstairs.

As soon as there is a vacancy, Officer Wang is ready to occupy a seat immediately.

I don't want to be here just to take pictures and check in without caring about the feelings of my stomach.

After all, for young people, coming here to eat is purely for the photos of the check-in place, and for themselves, it is purely to fill their stomachs.

Everyone is here for different purposes.

"I'll take you to see. Gu Chen saw Lu Weiwei get up, and he was ready to go over to see the situation.

"Then I'll go too. Seeing that both of them had gotten up, Yuan Shasha also followed.

Several people brought two long wooden stools and sat next to the woman at the table of two.

When the woman looked up, she was also suddenly stunned.

Seeing the three of them staring directly at her, the woman looked puzzled.

"You ......"

"My name is Lu Weiwei, this is Gu Chen, this is Yuan Shasha, a few of us see you crying here, I don't know if you need our help?"

Lu Weiwei gave full play to her characteristics of being an enthusiastic policewoman, and she also wanted to understand the situation of women.

The woman wiped her tears, and said with a wry smile: "I'm just homesick, every year on my birthday, I have my family by my side, but this year there is only one person." ”

"I originally wanted to make my birthday more ceremonial, so I bought a cake for myself and wanted to come here to celebrate my birthday. ”

"Then why are you crying?" asked Lou Weiwei.

The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Later, I received a blessing text message from my mother, and I felt it, and the tears couldn't help but fall." ”

Hearing the woman's words, Gu Chen secretly glanced at the woman's mobile phone.

In the dialog box at this time, it was a text message from the woman's mother.

[Today is your lunar birthday, and my mother wishes you a happy birthday. 】

Although it was just a simple message of blessing, the screen was already full of women's tears.

Gu Chen asked her, "You just graduated?"

The woman nodded silently: "Not long after I graduated, I am currently working in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital." ”

"No wonder. Hearing the woman's words, Gu Chen also smiled lightly and said: "It may be that you have just walked out of the campus and joined the work, and you haven't changed roles from the state of the ivory tower, and you suddenly celebrate your birthday alone, which is a little sad." ”

"Hmm. Hearing Gu Chen's words, the woman also nodded silently: "That's right, in the past, on campus, every time I had a birthday, a few good sisters in the dormitory would be with me." ”

"But this year, everyone went their separate ways, and no one was with me. ”

"If there is any difference between birthdays after the age of 20, it is that it is okay not to have a birthday, but I feel that even the air is bleak on a lifetime day. ”

"Poor or lonely, most people in their twenties have more or less the same or both, and I am the latter. ”

After Gu Chen heard the woman's story, he also said lightly: "What you said is right, but a holiday like a birthday that has special meaning for an individual will magnify your loneliness and helplessness." ”

Glancing at the woman's mobile phone, Gu Chen said again: "Especially the text message blessing sent by your mother, it may have stimulated your fragile nerves, you may be too tired from work and thinking too much." ”

"Hmm. The woman nodded silently: "I'm so tired, really tired." ”

"It's just that I'm tired, I've been like this when I first joined the job, and that's how I came over. Lu Weiwei is interested in imparting experience.

The woman immediately coughed dryly twice, and said, "My throat started to hurt two days ago, and I should be left alone in the office tomorrow night." ”

"Every time I watch a movie on my phone during the night shift, do I feel like life is always hard, or is it just my childhood?"

"Uh......" Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It seems like it will always be like this." ”

The woman glanced at Gu Chen and said, "I suddenly want to ask my 30-year-old self, do we often feel lonely and unhappy when we are only 20 years old?

"I've always felt that I didn't adapt to the growth of age after the age of 20, like yesterday when I was a child, after the age of 18, I became an adult in an instant. ”

Snorting, the woman said again: "I didn't react, and the people around me have become another group of people who are far from my life state." ”

"Judging from the circle of friends, it seems that everyone is doing well and making a lot of money, while I am still up and down as an ordinary social person, it is difficult not to be anxious and confused, wondering if I should also run two steps faster and prepare for the next trip? or...... Next Decisions. ”
