At 06:30 in the afternoon, at the door of a private kitchen, Han Dongwen, Xu Zheng and his two hair boys stood at the door to greet customers.

Han Rui and Tian Xinyue sat inside and waited.

The order of this private kitchen is still based on the face of grandma Su Tongyun. Of course, there is no need to worry about the taste of the food. The most important thing is privacy and taste.

It is said that they are the descendants of the imperial chef. After the state banquet, if there is no introducer, they will not accept private booking at all.

There are many friends in the elderly group of my grandma, so I ordered dinner for today after being introduced.

After a while, Xu Zheng's colleagues and friends rushed over one after another. Niu Panpan ran over first, and he led a few auxiliary police officers from the action brigade, all colleagues who often worked with Xu Zheng. They have no assignment today.

Some people with tasks received WeChat red envelopes, 1 per person. This time, he received more than [-], and the most of them were red envelopes sent by his special police friends.

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

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

Immediately afterwards, a group of people from the Liulihe Police Station rushed over under the leadership of the instructor Lu Yan and the deputy director Cao Lijun. There must be 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 plan to come back on the day of the wedding, and they will ask for two or three hours off. Of course, if there is an urgent task and they can't come, Xu Zheng's family will naturally understand.

A group of people greeted them politely at the door, and Han Dongwen personally took them to the bakery inside. He didn't let Xu Zheng worry about how to sit in the bakery inside, and made arrangements when all the people arrived.

After a while, all members of the Second Brigade rushed over, along with some acquaintances from the First Brigade, such as Hu Yanshan, Huo Wei'an, Wan Detachment, Yang Zhengchang, and Yan Zizhong came in the same car. As for the wedding of the three of them Whether it will come or not is unknown.

As soon as they arrived, Xu Xiuchuan from the Yiqiao District Bureau and Huang Tiantao, the captain of the Criminal Police Division, also rushed over.

Team Wan detachment teased Xu Xiuchuan, "Old Xu is different now that he has been promoted. His nephew treats guests, hehe, he is the last one to come."

"Hehe, you won't be promoted this time, hehe, if I hadn't introduced Xu Zheng to you, your promotion would have been so smooth?"

Xu Xiuchuan also served as the deputy head of the district, the provincial capital city, and Wan Haihong are both at the top level, and the two have been friends for many years. Except for Yang Zhengchang, no one else seems to have heard what they are talking about.

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 rush over in person. He thought he would ask Qi Guangyuan to come instead of him, "Mr. Zheng, why did you come in person? It's wasting your time."

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

As soon as he came, he immediately became the person with the highest police rank in the audience, two bars and two flowers, even if he was in casual clothes, everyone knew it.

Team Wan and Xu Xiuchuan hurried up to meet them, and then Han Dongwen came out and sent them all inside.

The people who came next were from other departments of the Municipal Bureau, such as forensic doctor Wang Dong, who had worked with Xu Zheng several times, and some of them were acquaintances. They learned that he was married, no, they were with colleagues or friends.

At seven o'clock, everyone who was supposed to come came, and even the deputy chief of the investigation team of the provincial department sent his son Liao Hong to rush over.

Others, like Su Yunshi's Quhou, were given out in red envelopes.

There were a total of more than 30 people who came, exactly four tables, and they were basically police officers. In this occasion and the National Day approaching, everyone didn’t drink, but just had some drinks. If you don’t drink, the banquet will end much faster. After more than two hours, everyone ate and drank enough and left satisfied.

Han Rui had morning sickness during the dinner, and Tian Xinyue took her away before she finished eating.

After seeing them off, Xu Zheng and Han Dongwen looked at each other with a smile and relaxed.

Looking at the dishes in the restaurant, one by one was clean, not even the leader's table was left, which shows how powerful the master's craftsmanship is here.

The taste is good, so the price is naturally expensive. When paying the bill, Xu Zheng only knew that the table was eight thousand and eight.

That's not counting drinks, otherwise.
Today he received a total of 50 people's red envelopes, all of which were 3 yuan, except for the leaders of the [-]-team team who received [-] yuan, and [-] yuan plus one piece, which was just enough to pay for today's meal.

Unexpectedly, during the checkout, the mysterious chef came out. It was a gentle man in his 40s. He stopped Xu Zheng from paying first, "You are Xu Zheng, police officer Xu?"

Seeing that Xu Zheng didn't deny it, he stretched out his hand, "I'm the owner of this store. My surname is Qi. To tell you the truth, I have something I want to ask you. Can I take your time for a while?"

Xu Zheng stretched out his hand and shook him. He is so polite, so he must ask for something. He smiled and said, "Then let's sit down and say, we have to thank you for today's matter. Look at these plates, and you will know my How satisfied are the leaders, colleagues and friends."

Today's dinner treats, even in Chinese restaurants in five-star hotels, diners can't make CDs. Of course, takeaways don't count.

Today's meal really made Xu Zheng's guests have a good meal of tongue, this is to increase his face, make him feel at home, one word: value!
So, now that the boss has something to ask for, Xu Zheng is naturally happy to do so. Of course, everyone is an adult, and there is a limit to helping. We all understand this.

In the tea room, Boss Qi made a pot of good Yuhua tea himself, chatted politely for a while, and everyone relaxed, "It's like this Officer Xu, I recognized you when you came just now, and you came today So many leads.

You are not simple, I thought those on the Internet before."

Xu Zhengpin took a sip of the tea, which was mellow and refreshing, with an elegant aroma, without any modesty, "This is all the leadership's love, but I must still have some skills."

"Haha, okay, I just want to find someone who is capable." Boss Qi gestured to Xu Zheng with his hands clasped, "My grandfather is 101 years old this year, and he has one regret, that is, when he was in his twenties My great-grandmother passed away, and my great-grandfather went to Wanwan Province in 49.

Later, my grandfather has been asking someone to find his real brother.

It's a pity that after seven or eighty years, the great grandfather has not been found, nor even the whereabouts of his descendants.

Now my grandpa is old, but he talks about my grandma and grandpa every day.

If you are dissatisfied, I asked all the famous painters in Changming to draw a picture of their mother and child three young time portraits.

But my grandpa said they didn't look like the ones they painted.

It cannot be synthesized by computer.

No, I saw the news about Police Officer Xu a few days ago, and then I learned that the police also has a profession called analog portraitist.

I happened to meet you today, so I take the liberty of asking, hoping that Officer Xu can help me.

In terms of salary, please rest assured that you will be satisfied. "

Xu Zheng scratched the center of his eyebrows, and this kind of thing not only reminded him of the portraits he had painted for his grandma's old friends half a year ago, the old men asked him to draw strong characters, and the old ladies asked him to draw charming portraits. Just one meaning, to draw a microcosm of their most satisfying life.

Seeing Xu Zheng lowered his head in thought, Boss Qi directly took out a card, "This is our store's diamond card, you can order food once a week. And Officer Xu, today's fee is free, and how much is left? We can discuss it again."

Xu Zheng looked at this ordinary card, it can only be used once a week, and there is no discount, but he believes that Chang Ming must have many people who want this card, he did not make a decision first, but He looked at Han Dongwen.

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

Only then did Xu Zheng say: "Boss Qi, our son-in-law Weng likes your craftsmanship very much. This diamond card is too tempting for us. I agree to your request, but how much should the meal package cost for today?"

Both parties in this transaction were very satisfied. In fact, Xu Zheng made money from his painting skills, which was completely reasonable and legal. As long as the price of a painting was not too outrageous, he would not be afraid to sue the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

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

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

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

Now that he had agreed to it, choosing a date would be better than bumping into it, so Xu Zheng wanted to start working immediately. Boss Qi prepared a complete range of painting materials here, in addition to the Four Treasures of the Study, there were also some oil painting materials.

Xu Zheng only chose a few pencils and manuscript paper for sketching, and focused on the old man's diary and his description of his mother and brother. With these, he had to study the old man's appearance.

The portraits of the old man when he was young are very easy to draw. He is still alive now, and there are a lot of photos now, so I drew them after researching.

The more difficult ones were the sketches of his mother and elder brother. Fortunately, the old man often talked about them and gave a general idea of ​​their appearance. Xu Zheng also referred to the previous painters, and after studying for a while, he realized that it wasn't that these people didn't draw like them. , but did not draw the spirit of that era.

It is difficult to draw a human and a tiger. The old man is 101 years old. He should have been born in 1933. In 1949, he was 16 years old. He was also a native of Changming. He was only four years old after the disaster in 37. Boss Qi did not say how he escaped. .

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

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

Thinking of this, Xu Zheng stopped writing, turned his head to look at Boss Qi seriously, and said seriously: "Some people know their destiny when they live to a certain age. The so-called destiny is illusory. Your old man often talks about his mother and Brother, this is obsession, and it is also his destiny.

Boss Qi, if I really draw the painting that the old man wants, I will help him fulfill his last wish. I don't need to say more about the consequences, right? "

Once the obsession is completed, the destiny will naturally be cut off.

Although the death of a 101-year-old old man is joy and sorrow, for some old people, being alive is the greatest help to their family, so Xu Zheng stopped writing in his hand.

It is better to make this matter clear, after all, he is not only a mock portrait artist, but also a policeman.

It is really difficult to be held accountable for giving away a painting to an old man.

Boss Qi's face became serious. After Xu Zheng said this, he also understood that if grandpa really saw the painting that satisfied him, there was an [-]% chance that his old man would smile happily.

But the Qi family is not up to him alone, and Xu Zheng's caution is not unreasonable, "Officer Xu, you are right, I didn't think carefully about this matter, see if this is okay, let's take this matter for a while , After your wedding, let's make an appointment to talk, how about it?"

Of course Xu Zheng was happy with this. In fact, he regretted accepting this order a bit. Now that he had free time, he could also ask the leader and lawyer to see if it was suitable.

On the way back, Han Dongwen casually threw the diamond card into the car locker, and he no longer paid attention to it before, "If we knew this kind of thing existed, we shouldn't have agreed to him. After all, we still got into trouble with our greedy mouth. It is estimated that when we go back, our father and I will still be criticized."

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

Han Dongwen was still a little worried, and said with a sad face: "Yeah, 101 years old, this is auspiciousness, helping the old man is also a good deed, forget it, I will ask the lawyer later, if there is an accident, what is the responsibility?" explain."

"Do you do good deeds?" Xu Zheng said twice, "Dad, do you remember Jiang Lanxin, the Internet celebrity who was looking for children?"

Han Dongwen was taken aback, why did he mention this woman again, "Didn't you draw a simulated portrait of her child? Why, she came to you again?"

Xu Zheng scratched the center of his eyebrows with his left hand, "She must have been trying to find me at this moment. I saw my colleague's appearance just now, 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 give me any advice." explain.

Alas, to be honest, if I can really help her, I definitely won't avoid it, just..."

Because Xu Zheng helped Zhou Youfang find his child back, Han Dongwen paid attention to Zhou Youfang and Jiang Lanxin, two Internet celebrities on Douyin, "This Jiang Lanxin should not be a bad person at all. No video was released for these two days.

Jiang Lanxin really wants to force you, just her more than 200 million fans can create hype. "

Seeing that Xu Zheng still had a bitter face and a look of deep thought, he was obviously thinking about how to make a simulated portrait again. Han Dongwen felt a little distressed, and asked curiously: "Xiaozheng, do you need to make a simulated portrait for Jiang Lanxin's daughter?" What condition?"

Xu Zheng looked at his father-in-law who was concerned about him. This is his real father, but then again, if his real father was still there, the father and son would not have such friendly exchanges. The appearance of the parents, and then consider some acquired factors that affect the appearance."

"It is said that daughters look like their fathers. In fact, some children look like elders, such as grandparents, uncles and aunts. Maybe, Jiang Lanxin's daughter looks like an aunt or grandma?"

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

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, Jiang Lanxin's daughter, Yan Mo, could her biological father be someone else? Could this person be her uncle or her grandfather? Uncle uncle?
It is generally said that a daughter is like a father, but this statement is a matter of probability. Xu Zheng didn't think about it before, and he studied it according to the files.

But now, he feels more and more that this conjecture is very possible. After all, there are some men in this society who have worked hard for dozens of years to find their sons, but in the end they find out that they are not his sons.
