never forget [criminal investigation]

The electric car took a shortcut, bypassing various congestion points, and stopped at the gate of the branch office 15 minutes later.

Xing Yue slowly moved down from the back seat of the scooter, stood on the ground, tugged at his pants, and shook his legs lightly.

This car is really convenient.But sitting on him made him feel a little bit pained.

"Is your leg numb?" Xiang Hai asked him.

"Oh, it's okay." Xing Yue immediately stopped shaking, "Well, thank you."

"You're welcome." Xiang Hai smiled at him, "Then, then I'm leaving, Brother Xing, you are busy."

"Well, slow down." Xing Yue also smiled at him.

With only Xiang Hai on his back, Xiao Lun's speed was obviously much faster, and he quickly disappeared from Xing Yue's sight.

So he tugged on his pants again.

"Captain Xing, what are you looking at?"

"Fuck!" Xing Yue was taken aback, not noticing when there was another person beside him.

Turning around, I found that it was Old Tang with several empty lunch boxes in his hand.

"I said, Old Tang, why are you walking so silently, you are so mysterious that you startled me!" Xing Yue's heart was still beating.

Old Tang chuckled, looking very kind, "I'm making a lot of noise, you must be lost in thought, I've been standing by the side for a long time. What are you looking at here?"

"No, it's nothing. Thinking about something." Xing Yue put his hands in his pockets, "It's Saturday, why are you here again?"

"Isn't there another case in the team? I'll come here at noon to get you some food. Otherwise, you may not know when you will be able to eat."

Old Tang is an old detective in the bureau, and he should retire in two years.

He never took the initiative to ask for leisure or anything, but Xing Yue still tried not to arrange tasks like going out for him as much as possible.One thing is not wanting him to work hard at his age, the main reason is that Xing Yue hopes that he can retire peacefully without any troubles.

He also applied to the police station, wanting to transfer Old Tang to the police station below as a deputy director or something.As the level rises, the retirement salary can also rise.Can never hit the right position.

There were a few vacancies before, but Old Tang didn't want to go.He just had his grandson a year ago, and his home is also close to the branch office. The locations of those offices are too far away, so he doesn't want to go there.

In his own words, if you have the time to go back and forth every day, I might as well help you cook and go home to hug your grandson.

Old Tang also knew that Xing Yue was taking care of him intentionally.He didn't say anything else, that is, no matter during Chinese New Year holidays or weekends, whenever the team had to work overtime on a major case, he would be there.I don't do anything else, just cook for everyone, and sometimes I bring fruit and homemade dumplings for everyone to eat.

"Where's the rice?" Xing Yue looked at the empty lunch box in Old Tang's hand.

"I've finished calling once. Didn't Erhe say you'd be back soon, so I thought about making two more dishes."

"Let's go, don't fight anymore, let's go back." Xing Yue took Old Tang's shoulders and walked back, "I'll eat something with them."

After entering the office door, Xing Yue saw Zhang Xiaowei in the middle of the room at a glance, playing there with his shirt off.

"What is this?"

Wang Bin immediately volunteered and came over to report, "Brother Xing, there is meatball soup in the cafeteria today, and old Tang made a bowl for us. It's as if you haven't eaten in 100 years. Take a big spoon and eat it." He scooped up the meatballs, and he picked up a few more at once. You think the meatballs are so hot with the soup and water, and he put them in his mouth without blowing. As a result, the meatballs fell into the soup basin again. A warm current It came to his mind, and the hot soup fell on him. Isn't this just rubbing it there?"

Zhang Xiaowei covered his chest with a cold towel, and was still moaning and wiping, "I haven't eaten in the morning, and I'm so hungry. Who would have thought that the meatballs would be so hot! When will our cafeteria be oily?" Is that enough?"

Zhang Xiaowei's body is very strong, and his wheat-colored skin is covered with undulating muscle lines, revealing the unique luster and tension of young people.

However, this person's personality is really rough, and he basically doesn't understand what it means to be "sorry".In front of the big men in the room, if the soup spilled on his trousers today, no one would suspect that he would have taken off on the spot with only a pair of underwear left.

Xing Yue said, "It's almost done, hurry up and put on your clothes."

Cheng Liang also said, "That's right, I don't have any appetite looking at your body|body, and the soup is a disaster for you."

"Get out." Zhang Xiaowei gave him a blank look, and then said aggrievedly, "I don't have any other clothes here. Or just wait for the one I took off, the oily soup on my body will dry up a bit, I'll Go ahead and wear it."

Xing Yue opened his locker, took out a black T-shirt and threw it to him, "Put on mine, a new one."

Zhang Xiaowei immediately laughed, "Thank you Brother Xing!"

He put the T-shirt on, and looked down at the hem, "Hey, it fits just right, it's just a little longer."

Wang Bin couldn't bear it anymore, "You want to be ashamed, is that a little bit? It's all fucking covered, okay?"

"Get lost!" Zhang Xiaowei was unhappy again.

Old Tang had been watching happily from the side. At this time, he suggested kindly, "Xiaowei, if you practice hard, maybe in a year or two, you can grow taller again."

Zhang Xiaowei was about to cry, "Old Tang! You are pricking my heart! How old am I and still running around? Where am I going?"

Zheng Shuanghe laughed wildly and slapped the table desperately.

Xing Yue was also happy, "Okay, let's get your meatballs, it will definitely not be hot now."

After bidding farewell to Xing Yue, Xiang Hai didn't go back to the police station because he had a rest today.

I made a U-turn at the intersection below, and then rode my electric bike all the way home.

On the way, he turned to the supermarket and bought a lot of things in large and small bags.

When I got home, I changed into the police uniform first.Then I sorted out the things I bought, put them in the refrigerator, and then made some simple food for myself.

This series of operations can be regarded as a routine operation, as long as he does not work overtime, his weekend life is mostly like this.Today is a bit delayed by class.

After eating, he found three insulated lunch boxes and filled them with the porridge, braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs that he had prepared.

The porridge was carefully boiled by him the night before.In addition to rice, it also added millet, glutinous rice, red dates, yam, and soy milk squeezed by myself.A big box of fragrant and thick.

After preparing these, Xiang Hai took out a large backpack and put the lunch boxes in one by one, and stuffed a lot of fruit on top until the zipper of the backpack could hardly be closed.

Carrying a backpack full of loads, he went out and took a bus, and changed in the middle. After more than an hour, he came to the gate of a community.

From the gate to his final destination, it took about 10 more minutes.After entering a unit door and climbing up to the third floor, Xiang Hai took a breath and raised his hand to ring the doorbell a few times.

After about half a minute, the door opened.An old man with silver hair stood at the door and called him with a smile, "Xiao Hai."

"Uncle Lu!" Xiang Hai also greeted the old man with a smile, then stepped into the door and closed it behind him.

While unloading the backpack on his body, he said, "Uncle, why didn't you ask who opened the door? Every time you come back, you say it, but you don't listen every time."

The old man still looked at him with a smile, "What can I ask? Who else but you? As soon as I heard the doorbell ring, I knew it was you."

Xiang Hai was also helpless.He put on his slippers, helped the old man back to the living room, and told him to sit on the old rattan chair, "Then I will send you a WeChat message before I come next time, telling you how long it will take me to arrive. Outside of that time, Don't open the door if anyone knocks."

"I can't understand your stuff." The old man slowly leaned back on the rattan chair with his fat body, "Let me tell you, I'm still a good-for-nothing. Don't say I haven't met a bad guy, even if I have. , we still can't tell who will clean up who. I think back when I was flying over the wall..."

"Ah, ah," Xiang Hai hurriedly took over the conversation, "You are too powerful. But uncle, can we change the word? The director of the police station is flying around the wall, it's not good to say it."

"What's so good about it? Who can still remember me, the old director who is out of date? Only you."

"What's the matter, are you still not satisfied with your old tone?" Xiang Hai went to wash his hands, and then turned back to the old man, "It's good to have me thinking about it. I'm so good-looking, so good-looking, and I can Isn't it better to make delicious food than a hundred people miss you?"

"Strong, stronger than a thousand people!" The old man smiled contentedly, took a cigarette from the coffee table and lit it.

"But Xiao Hai, don't run to me every time, just come and see me during the holidays." The old man looked at Xiang Hai's back while smoking a cigarette and said, "It's all pretty good. You are busy, you can take a break and do your own things when you have time, okay?"

Almost every time Xiang Hai came, the old man had to repeat these words, like chanting a mantra, but Xiang Hai didn't listen at all.Later, I also felt that Xiang Hai was tired of being talked about, but he still said it every time.

Back then, I didn't expect Xiang Hai to reciprocate.Even if it is repayment, after ten years, what should be paid back has already been paid off.Although the old couple never had a child, they never thought about raising Xiang Hai as a son.

In fact, my daughter-in-law mentioned it a few times, saying: "Anyway, Xiaohai has already taken care of this, so why don't we just change the name, and we will be parents again."

But he never agreed, "Do you think it's so easy to be a parent? If you pick up a cheap son, you will automatically become a parent? You don't have to control him? You have to educate him, protect him, and love him. Apart from Give the child something to eat and drink, what else can I give him? Just like this, Ren Xiaohai has already treated you like a mother. If he really becomes a son, he will have to worry about taking care of us. It’s really tied up a person’s child for a lifetime. Are you embarrassed? Anyway, I’m embarrassed.”

My daughter-in-law is not happy to hear him say that, "Hey, old Lu, what do you mean by what you said? When did I say I'm going to tie the child up?"

Then she sighed again, "Are you saying we don't care about him, don't protect him, don't love him? Firstly, this child is so good, it's so reassuring. Secondly, I always feel that Xiao Hai This kid has a lot on his mind. You can see that he is always happy, but sometimes he seems to be very happy, why do I feel so distressed?"

Hearing this, he also sighed, "Didn't you see when I saw him for the first time back then, I can't forget that look until now."

"Have you ever seen the fox that was caught in the animal trap before, and it was so tormented that it couldn't escape? You can see me, and it knows that I am not here to kill it, but to open the trap for it. Yes. Xiaohai is almost like that."

At this time, Xiang Hai had already taken out everything from his backpack and put it on the table.While listening to the old man's nagging, he opened the lid of the braised pork lunch box and slapped it with his hand, "Uncle Lu, smell it, does it smell good?"

The old man flapped his nostrils a few times and said honestly, "It smells good! It smells so good!"

"Hungry or not?"

"You boy!" The old man sat up from the wicker chair again, "Are you kidding me?"

Xiang Hai laughed haha, and put down the braised pork, "You shouldn't be allowed to eat so much meat, look at your stomach..."

As he spoke, he picked up the lunch box of porridge again, "This is what should be eaten seriously, nourishing the stomach. Let Aunt Liu heat it up later, and you two eat it together. It's delicious, even more delicious than meat."

The old man looked at the box of porridge, smacked his lips, and then went to stare at the braised pork again, "The porridge must be good porridge, but it still smells like meat."

But after finishing speaking, the old man frowned again, "Xiao Hai, these are things that take a lot of work. Come here next time, don't spend so much time fixing these. You are young, you have time to spend more time on it." On yourself. It’s not a meal for the old couple to eat..."

"Hey Uncle Lu," Xiang Hai simply squatted in front of the old man, with one knee on the ground and one hand resting on the armrest of the old rattan chair, "Just tell me, do the things I make taste good?"

"good to eat."

"Then do you like to eat?"

"...love to eat."

"Isn't that enough?" Xiang Hai looked up at the old man, "Since everything is a meal, why don't you eat what I made?"

"Oh, you child." The old man sighed helplessly, and patted Xiang Hai's shoulder with his big hand.

"By the way, where's Aunt Liu? Have you reported to the neighborhood committee again?"

While chatting with the old man, Xiang Hai was not idle.First, put the food he brought into the old man's own lunch box, and then take the newly bought cherries to the kitchen to wash.

"Yeah, it's like going to work every day." The old man leaned on the rattan chair a little tiredly, closed his eyes and talked to Xiang Hai, "Actually, I don't have any serious business. I spend all day with those old women, Either to persuade a couple to fight, or to help a matchmaker."

"Oh, that's right, Xiao Hai," said the old man and opened his eyelids again, "You haven't dated yet, I'll ask your Aunt Liu to keep an eye out for you later. This person, his own children don't bother him, he's blind for others." busy."

"Hey, how old am I, don't worry." Xiang Hai stood by the pool, looking at the big bright red cherries under the water, fingering them back and forth.

"I'm too old and confused. I can't even remember how old you are this year. You must be... 23?"

"Well, it's almost time."

"It's okay to wait another two years, but don't be careless. This life is going fast, but don't miss it if you meet a good one." The old man closed his eyes again, and said slowly, "I like When you were your age, you were married to your Aunt Liu."

"Okay." Xiang Hai supported the edge of the sink with both hands, looking out of the kitchen window.

A little bird landed on a branch outside the window, and it didn't sing, just grabbed the branch and looked around.At this time, another one exactly like it flew over, fluttering its wings and falling next to it.Maybe it was because the new one was too enthusiastic, the original one flapped its wings and flew away before it settled down.

"When you have a partner, you have to bring it back and show us."

"That's necessary." Xiang Hai looked back and continued washing cherries.

The old man himself laughed, "Our little sea is so good-looking and so obedient, what else is there?"

Xiang Hai brought the washed cherries to the old man, "It will be delicious. Uncle, what can you do with rote memorization, you have to come from the heart."

"Inwardly, inwardly." The old man was amused by him and kept laughing, wrinkles piled up in the corners of his eyes.

"So Xiaohai's partner is definitely not bad, or he can't match our Xiaohai!"

"Sure." Xiang Hai picked up a cherry and brought it to the old man's mouth, "Uncle, eat the cherry, it's very fresh."
