Said: "Since Assistant Bai is unwilling, you should stay in Huai'an Court first, no one will replace you."
Bai Ming raised his head slowly. Everything came and went quickly, like a floating warehouse, and his mood also fluctuated accordingly.
"I actually want you to work here, you look like someone I know..."
Qian Heng's eyes showed a bit of nostalgia, as if he said from the bottom of his heart, "It's very similar, even the attitude after losing the job is exactly the same."
Bai Ming pursed his lips, unwilling to stay longer, he avoided those moon-like eyes, stood up and said, "Thank you section chief for your love."
Qian Heng realized that his gaze had brought him discomfort, so he withdrew his eyes and got up to see him off.
The air-conditioning made Bai Ming very clear-headed, he nodded slightly, and took two steps back, "Section Chief, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Qian Heng just smiled and didn't speak, his eyes kept looking at Bai Ming's back until he walked out of the room.
24. Comfort
The night is hazy, and the moonlight is like a piece of silver scales, which was unintentionally dropped here by some big fish swimming in the sea of stars, which is particularly alluring in this world of lights.
There was no customer in the store, and Bai Ming was lying on the cash register resentfully. He used to stand for three or four hours without bending over once, but this time he hadn't worked for a while, and he seemed to have lost his strength.
This scene was witnessed by Wei Dong from the back kitchen. Seeing that the cashier was so preoccupied, he walked to the front desk curiously, put his left arm on the computer, and waved his right hand back and forth in front of Bai Ming's eyes, asking, "Aren't you busy?" Just in a daze, what are you thinking?"
Bai Ming came back to his senses, propped up his body, stretched the apron he wore for work, and cheered up again, saying: "Brother Dong, I didn't think about anything, just, just some things to do during the day."
Wei Dong stared and shouted, "You got fired?"
"No."
"Is that scolded?"
"That's it."
Bai Ming also realized that he had left an impression on Weidong that his work was not going well, which made him extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't hold back, so he could only laugh a few times.
He continued: "It's not considered being scolded, it's just a trivial matter, there's nothing to mention, thank you Brother Dong."
Although he was indeed scolded today, he didn't take Zheng Ye's words to heart. Being scolded by the teacher was nothing new. What really made him unhappy was what Qian Heng said in the afternoon.
He lowered his head, and didn't want to tell Weidong these terrible things. Compared with being a person who spreads negative energy, he still prefers to tell jokes and chat with people.
Weidong took out a piece of paper, wiped off the cream on the apron, and threw the ball of paper into the trash can, "You young people always like to keep things in their hearts, and I'm older than you We are in our teens, and we can barely be considered the same age. The generation gap should not be too big. If you feel depressed, you can tell me. I may not be able to come up with reasonable ideas, but you can be happier if you say it. Isn't it?"
However, Bai Ming had a hard time associating him with his peers. He joked with a smile: "Brother Dong, I, I actually wanted to call you Uncle Dong when I first saw you."
His voice became smaller and smaller, so small that even he felt embarrassed.
Wei Dong was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be angry and said: "You child, you don't know what's good and what's wrong. I'm kind enough to help you, but you still talk like this."
Bai Ming pursed his lips, and then burst out laughing. He was still very grateful to Wei Dong in his heart. Wei Dong has always been like his bosom brother, always willing to help him out, whether it was Lu Wu's embarrassing three visits last time, or this one. If he has something on his mind, Wei Dong will be willing to help him, and he is also willing to share it. After all, the time of acquaintance with Wei Dong is the longest except for Lin Jiang, longer than the group of people in the public security department.
After laughing a few times, he suddenly felt aggrieved and said: "Actually, it was a leader of the city procuratorate. He wanted me to be his assistant, so he asked someone to take my job. If he wanted to, he made me recover again, and I was a little confused, so I kept thinking about it."
After hearing this, Wei Dong slapped his thigh, and his anger rose, "He is not in the same unit as you, and he is not your direct leader. How did he get such great power?"
"He does have the right to transfer personnel." Bai Ming smiled helplessly and took over the conversation.
Wei Dong was taken aback, "Why did he let you go? Did you explain the reason?"
Bai Ming nodded, and explained what he thought was absurd reason, "He said that I look like a person."
"Like a person?" Wei Dong withdrew his angry expression, "This reason is really strange, who is it like?"
"I didn't ask. At that time, I just wanted to sneak away. I was afraid that he would change his mind in a while, and I guess even if I asked, he wouldn't say it. If he wanted to tell me, he would have said it directly. .”
Wei Dong hummed meaningfully, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, and began to look at Bai Ming's face, from his eyebrows to his lips, and even his figure.
"What, what's the matter?" Bai Ming's gaze made him feel unnatural, he stroked the seam of his trousers and asked nervously.
"That's pretty similar." Wei Dong propped his chin and said thoughtfully.
Bai Ming was like a hooked fish, these words captured his heart, he also lowered his head to look at his body, and said, "Brother Dong, who do you look like?"
Seeing Weidong pondering, Bai Ming felt at a loss. After he learned that the third victim on Canglan Road was Lin Jiang's ex-girlfriend, he dared not ignore every word in his life easily. Completely inconspicuous details may be important clues to promote the whole case, so he can only let this uncomfortable gaze wander over him, for fear of interrupting Weidong's thoughts.
Wei Dong thought for a long time, and finally said: "You are good-looking, like that movie star who is very popular recently."
Bai Ming: "..."
It turned out to be a joke, the strength gathered in this body was completely slack, he lowered his head again, and sighed deeply.
"Isn't it like that?" Seeing this, Wei Dong asked again.
Bai Ming was speechless, and he said after a while: "Thank you, Brother Dong, but I don't think the leaders of the procuratorate let me in because of this."
Wei Dong replied: "It's true, he is 1.7 meters tall."
Bai Ming: "..."
"Okay, I'm not joking." Wei Dong said again, "Don't think too much, in fact, life is very simple, as long as you don't care about other people's opinions and do your job well, most people's depression is because of worry. It is caused by other people's evaluation of us, but this is beyond our control."
The words were serious, like the comforting tone of an elder, he stretched out his hand, pulled off the thread on the edge of Bai Ming's sleeve, and continued: "Remember, no matter who you look like, or who looks like you, that's what they see. Don't let their casual words affect your mood, not to mention that you look so good, do you care who you are said to look like?"
Bai Ming looked at his kind face, his earnest consolation was like the clouds blooming and the moon shining, the blinding branches and leaves were blown off by the wind, and the world once again had its brilliance.
"You're right, I understand..." Bai Ming woke up like a dream, and the smile on his face became as clear as before. He picked up the small biscuit from the sample product, stuffed it into his mouth, and chuckled. With a clear and loud sound, "Brother Dong, you always give me the feeling of being a big brother, and you can persuade me and comfort me appropriately every time, as if you have experienced strong winds and waves, and you take everything lightly. Thank you, thank you."
"Big wind and waves?" Wei Dong smiled, "I'm just a dessert cook. I'm a vulgar person with no culture. How have I seen the world? If you think the food in our shop is delicious, I'll be satisfied .”
"Delicious, very delicious!" Bai Ming licked the remaining powder on his fingers, "After eating the desserts you made, my taste has become picky, and I rarely meet satisfactory ones. I feel sorry for you, with your craftsmanship, it is a bit overkill to only develop in this cake shop of more than ten square meters."
Wei Dong smiled smugly, "Really?"
"Yes, I went to Jiefang Hotel a few days ago. The desserts there are said to be the best in the city, but except for the butterfly cakes, it is difficult to attract me. I think that with your ability, you can beat most of the desserts in the city. A pastry chef is a piece of cake."
Bai Ming spoke very proudly, as if the person who can make desserts is himself.
"Jiefang Hotel? Butterfly Crisp?" Wei Dong was startled, "So, I'll make a Butterfly Crisp another day for you to try. If I pass the test, I'll try to apply for a job. Don't let the boss I know."
I don't know if this is a joke or if it is serious, Wei Dong saw a visitor, so he also went back to the back kitchen.
After these conversations, Bai Ming felt much more at ease. He admired such an open-minded person as Wei Dong. In him, Bai Ming could always feel the simplicity and innocence of the down-to-earth. A rare species in this busy city.
Bai Ming stopped thinking about those disturbing things, and started to stand on his post wholeheartedly, earnestly doing tonight's work.
The hot wind of the city was blocked by the tall buildings, so it couldn't blow into the dazzlingly bright Huabaibang. After standing for a while, Bai Ming broke out in a sweat.
While he was helping the customer to pack the bag, suddenly the cell phone rang beside him. He quickly muted the volume and sealed the bag for the customer. After paying the bill, he hurriedly looked down and saw that the person on the caller ID turned out to be the landlord of the rental house on Changchun Road. He looked around and saw no customers coming forward, so he turned his back and pressed the answer button.
The landlord opened his mouth, and after waiting for a long time, he said impatiently: "Bai Ming, right? The house has been cleaned up, and the police have unsealed it. Do you still want to move in?"
Bai Ming was taken aback. He really didn't expect Captain Zhou Liang to inspect so quickly. He had only moved into Lin Jiang's house for two weeks, and the investigation and evidence collection of the rented house had already been completed. He thought for a while into the microphone, and said falteringly: "I……"
After all, there have been two deaths in this house. Except for Bai Ming, I am afraid that no one else would like to rent this kind of house. Seeing his hesitation, the landlord was afraid that he would refuse, so he added: "I can understand your feelings, but one death is not the same as death." The two are the same, so you don’t need to be afraid, if you choose to renew the lease, I can cut the rent in half and let you stay for two more months for free.”
Rent cut in half!This is a great thing!
For Bai Ming, if he can save more money, he can gain more hope of staying in Jiangzhou. It is difficult for him to refuse such a temptation.
But Bai Ming was still not at ease, and asked again: "Did the police check everything inside and out?"
The landlord snorted, "Yes, don't worry, no one is dead."
Bai Ming struggled for a while, finally made up his mind, and agreed: "I will rent it, and I will move back on the weekend..."
He turned sideways, lowered his head, and was so fascinated by the talk that he even forgot to see if anyone was queuing up to check out. Halfway through his speech, he glanced at the line from the corner of his eye, but saw a pair of large white sneakers appeared in his line of sight.
The customer is here!
He hastily continued: "Wait a moment, I'll be fine soon."
Bai Ming took the phone from his ear, put on a standard smile, raised his head, and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
And in front of his eyes, the person wearing white sneakers was looking down at him with a smile on his face, with lights shining in his eyes, overflowing with gentle joy.
Bai Ming was taken aback, then blinked, "Officer Lu?"
Lu Wu was still wearing sports clothes, sweating profusely, he wiped his forehead, stood in front of Bai Ming, and said loudly: "Little assistant, although we just met during the day, I'm still here, good evening. "
This is his first visit to this cake shop after Bai Ming found out that he doesn't like sweets.
Just when Bai Ming was surprised, his hand touched the hands-free button, and the avatar on the phone became even more impatient, and shouted: "Hey! Are you renting or not? Give me a letter!"
This shout made Bai Ming startled. He almost couldn't hold the phone firmly in his hand. The volume was so loud that almost everyone in the store looked over. He immediately turned off the hands-free, raised the phone, and was about to speak. But he was snatched by Lu Wu.
Lu Wu replied unceremoniously: "No more renting, you can leave this house to others."
This kind of joke is unacceptable, Bai Ming hastily walked around outside the cash register, but Lu Wu straightened his chest, stood like a pine and cypress, and was still holding on to the phone, Bai Ming couldn't grab it at all, so he tiptoed and jumped a few times on the spot, The moment he jumped up, he was able to make his mouth even with the phone, and he hurriedly said, "I'll rent it! I'll rent it!"
Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Wu moved his mobile phone to the other ear. He hurried to the other side, but Lu Wu's voice had already overshadowed him: "Although the house has been inspected, it is not suitable to move in immediately, and With your attitude, I think there should be no shortage of people to rent."
"I'll rent it!" Bai Ming continued to jump and grab it. This time Lu Wu turned around with a smile on his lips, and then pressed his hands on his shoulders. Those hands were so strong that he couldn't jump up at all.
This situation made all the customers in the store dumbfounded, watching this dramatic scene dumbly.
The landlord was silent for a few seconds, and just about to hang up, Lu Wu said again: "Remember to return the excess rent, otherwise I can hold you accountable according to the previously signed housing rental contract."
The other party was stunned when he heard it, and his attitude immediately became gentle, "Okay, okay, I will refund it to you."
Lu Wu hung up the phone, that bright smile seemed to have made a great contribution.
This day was too long, and it was very difficult. First, I accompanied Lin Jiang to the city bureau early in the morning, but was hugged by Lu Wu and fell down. At noon, I was scolded by Zheng Ye. In the afternoon, I almost lost my job because of Qian Heng. Now at night, even the house is gone.
This bad day made Bai Ming lose his strength. He swallowed his breath and went back to the cash register. He lowered his head, frowned, and pursed his mouth in displeasure, "Officer Lu, what are you doing?"
"Angry?" Lu Wu bent down and looked at the decadent little assistant from one side, "Don't be angry, if you are unhappy, what will your customers do?"
After finishing speaking, he moved to the side so that Bai Ming faced the entire storefront.
Lu Wu deserves a beating like this.
Bai Ming gritted his teeth, and had to raise his head again, only to find that there was no one in the store. Maybe they had all left after Lu Wu made such a fuss just now. A small flower that grows in the desert has no moisture at all.
He asked feebly, "What is Officer Lu doing here today?"
The corner of Lu Wu's mouth couldn't help but raised a smile, and said: "To prevent you from continuing to live in that rental house."
"I already know, is there any more?"
"Then I'll buy some bread."
"Don't you like sweets?"
Lu Wu replied with a smile: "I like to eat what you have here."
Bai Ming didn't want to continue bickering with him, so he asked something serious: "Why did you prevent me from living in?"
"There were two murders in that house. The area is still small, the facilities are outdated, the sound insulation is not good, the quality inspection is not up to standard, the winter is cold and the summer is hot, the air conditioner is not working, the neighborhood is gloomy and dark at night, the day is not sunny, and even the camera does not work properly. , these reasons should be enough."
Lu Wu listed all the shortcomings that Bai Ming knew about, but Bai Ming said, "But it's cheap."
"It's not cheap, you can't just settle for yourself, that place is not suitable for you to live in, you should choose a better one."
Bai Ming also wants to live in a good and cheap place, but there is no such house in the city center of Jiangzhou. After listening quietly, he could only laugh dryly, picked up the phone again, and said, "I think this rental house is It's very good, it suits me very well, otherwise with my salary level, I can only sleep on the street."
After finishing speaking, he cheered himself up again: "Besides, if I have the conditions to change to a better one, I won't have two jobs here. I have to do them well."
These are all his truest thoughts in his heart. He wants to do everything within his power with his own ability.
Lu Wu looked at the man in front of him who was full of confidence in life, as if he couldn't be defeated by any difficulties, he withdrew his unruly appearance, and said with a serious smile: "Actually, I came here to tell you something."
His sincere tone made Bai Ming puzzled. Although he had been in the store for a long time, Bai Ming's nose had long been accustomed to the aroma of various baked goods, but when he said this, the sweetness in the store seemed to become more mellow and rich.
When the wind blows, Lu Wu's smile rises with the wind. This expression can be described as "white and limited", "I've found a house for you, and you can just move in."
25. New home
This is the real purpose of Lu Wu's coming tonight.
Bai Ming was taken aback for a moment, doubting what he heard, and then repeated, "Have you found a house for me?"
Lu Wu nodded, waiting for a response full of joy, the stars were shining brightly, and the brilliance of the bright moon merged into a magnificent galaxy in his eyes, making everything traceable.
This sudden news made Bai Ming stand still. He was thin-skinned and didn't want to trouble others, so he made up a reason, "Thank you Officer Lu, but I, I haven't lived enough at Lin Jiang's house yet."
He doesn't even believe this kind of excuse, and who would like to stay in someone else's house? Even though Lin Jiang's house is a big villa with all kinds of home services, but after all, it is someone else's property and has been given to Lin Jiang's family Adding trouble is something that Bai Ming is very resistant to.
In addition, he didn't want to bother Lu Wu anymore. Since they met, Bai Ming has already owed a lot of favors. He has always wanted to find a chance to repay them, but Lu Wu seems to have everything. Continue to owe more, which also touched the red line in his heart.
Lu Wu asked: "The little assistant can't live in someone else's house forever."
These words were very precise, Bai Ming blinked his eyes twice to relieve the dryness of his eyeballs when he was stunned just now, he lightly pursed his upper and lower lips, and wiped away the dry cracks with the tip of his tongue, the summer night is like a water pump, When the temperature is high, the body's moisture can be easily drained.
He swallowed, lowered his head, thought about it, and then said embarrassedly: "I, I'd better find it myself, and I won't bother the police officer."
"What I found is ready-made." Lu Wu responded freely and was extremely confident.
He answered every sentence quickly, just the opposite of Bai Ming.
There was another silence, and Lu Wu's full smile seemed to see how Bai Ming could evade. After a while, before he could get an answer, he stopped joking and said seriously: "I know what you are worried about. The house is Jing Yu's house. Yes, he has two sets, and he has been idling with this set, so he wants to pack it up and let you live in it for free."
Bai Ming looked bewildered, and said slowly: "Officer Jing? I don't know him very well, why does he want to let me live for free?"
"He has a good heart." Lu Wu scratched the back of his head lightly, with an unnatural tone.
This reason is rather weak, Bai Ming was not persuaded, he shook his head, and replied: "It's better, I can find it myself, thank you, Police Officer Jing, and thank you."
Lu Wu had expected this step a long time ago, this kind of free house Baiming would definitely not be greedy for cheap living, "Jing Yu also said, if you mind living for free, he allows you to pay him a little every month, so You can live in peace of mind, and he can earn some extra money, killing two birds with one stone, and you have met each other, so renting it to someone you know is better than someone you don't know, right?"
If Jingyu's goal is to make money, then Bai Ming can live comfortably.
"The location is also in Huashirahama, just next to it. It's a 2-minute walk from your place, so that you can get home quickly after the night shift. If you go to the court in the early morning, you can take the subway from here to get there in 10 minutes." Lu Wu explained the benefits again Say everything, persuade in every possible way.
But Bai Ming didn't know why he was so impatient, so he could only follow him and say, "That's really convenient."
After all, he didn't agree in his heart, Bai Ming looked at his earnest eyes, and after a moment of consideration, he said again: "Well, let's forget it."
"How can I forget it? Don't worry, with me as a guarantee, Jing Yu won't dare to cheat you."
Lu Wu made another series of persuasion. He tried his best to dispel Bai Ming's worries. In order to avoid his repentance, he turned around and left in a hurry after speaking, "That's it, move in as soon as possible."
Before Bai Ming could even react, he had already walked to the door.
"Officer wait!"
Lu Wu stopped, and turned around, the wind chime to see off the guests was jingling above his head, and the cool night breeze wiped away the throbbing heat all over his body.
"Then can I go and have a look first?" Bai Ming smiled dryly, reluctantly agreeing.
Lu Wu smiled slightly, his expression was as warm as the wind, as if a grand and vast spring had come.
As long as he sees Bai Ming, he can't help smiling like this, his voice is chic and unrestrained, but also gentle and honest, "Gather at Huabaibang Subway Station before going to work tomorrow, okay?"
He pointed to the entrance of the subway station outside, and when he heard Bai Ming say hello, he strode away.
Bai Ming looked at his back disappearing into the crowd and the night, feeling a little complicated. As a friend he just met, he had already received so many favors from Lu Wu, and now he owed a bigger one. He didn't know how to repay it all. Also on.
The moonlight is hazy, dancing with the wind.
In the early morning, the first ray of sky came straight in from the east, and before everyone got up, Bai Ming had already packed up quietly, slipped out of the gate of the villa, caught the first subway, and arrived at the agreed place, although he was a lover A latecomer, but he came early this time.
When he thought he would be the first to arrive, he took the escalator out of the station and saw two policemen had already appeared in front of him.
He's still last.
With a grin on his lips, he came to the two of them, looking like a wanted prisoner, holding his left arm with his right hand, and said, "It's really early for you guys."
Lu Wu stretched his waist, shook his shoulders, took out a deep-fried dough stick and a cup of soy milk from behind, and replied: "We just came here too, you live far away, it doesn't matter if you are late, you haven't had breakfast yet, fill up first Say something else to your stomach."
Bai Ming was surprised, he even got a breakfast when he came to see the room, which made him even more ashamed, but seeing Lu Wu's hospitality, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it, nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you Officer Lu."
"You're welcome, when you move here, you will have more breakfast choices..." Lu Wu smiled with satisfaction, and pointed at the fried stick again, "Eat it quickly, it will be cold in a while."
Bai Ming looked at the silent Jing Yu beside him, squeezed out a smile, then slightly waved his hand holding the fried dough stick, and said, "Officer Jing, good morning."
"Hello." Jing Yu replied softly, her tone a little cold.
Bai Ming met him a few times, but they hardly spoke, so they could only keep smiling. The two nodded at each other, but no one answered.
Two introverts can easily push the atmosphere into an awkward situation.
Fortunately, Lu Wu moved closer in time, stuck between the two of them, and said, "Okay, let's go and see the house first."
From the subway station, it only takes 2 minutes to walk to the gate of the community. The security here is excellent, even the access control and real-time monitoring are all available. The first impression is that it is a mid-to-high-end community.
Although this neighborhood is in a busy city, when you step into it, there is no noise, it can be regarded as a quiet place in the middle of the bustle.
The distance between each building is not too far or too close, so that the light can just hit the window sills on each floor.
What surprised Bai Ming the most was the greenery in the courtyard. The morning light slanted in from the gaps between the buildings, covering the flowers. There is also a small lake in this community, just looking at it adds to the hot summer. If it is a big festival, the device of the musical fountain will be activated, playing the appropriate song.
After all, Huabaibang is one of the four major business districts in Jiangzhou. It is very close to supermarkets, restaurants, gyms, shopping centers, rest places, etc., all within walking distance. Of course, for office workers like Baiming, it is the best The important thing is the subway station that is 2 minutes away.
All in all, although this place can't compare with Lin Jiang's luxurious villas, it definitely belongs to Bai Ming's dream of a house that is beyond reach.
Bai Ming followed the two of them into the No. 3 tall building in the south, and stopped steadily on the 19th floor with the elevator.
He was a little surprised that March 3 was his birthday.
What a coincidence...
There are two floors and two households here. Jing Yu told him that no one lives next door, and the occupancy rate of this community is not very high. After all, in this kind of area, there are still houses of this level, and few people can afford them.
Jing Yu walked to the door of 1901, he opened the door and invited everyone to enter the house.
The first dawn dawned, passing through the living room like a feathered arrow, pouring on Bai Ming's body, the sun seemed to be drunk, shining bright spots, and carrying the most comfortable temperature, soaking the whole room into a transparent and warm place, He was stunned, just standing at the entrance, he was already shocked by the huge room.
Seeing this, Lu Wu smiled and gently pushed him in. This house has two living rooms, two bathrooms, three bedrooms, an independent kitchen and a bright balcony. The house has a wide view, and the furniture is neatly arranged. The main tone is gray and white. , the overall simplicity and elegance.
A few pots of green plants squat in the corner, revealing a trace of vitality, like a brand new house.
The most eye-catching thing was a vase on the coffee table, and there were many fake flowers in the vase. After counting them, Bai Ming found that there were thirteen flowers in total.
Jing Yu took Bai Ming around for a brief tour. The area of this house was the same as its house number, 190.1 square meters. From the living room to every room, he used the simplest words. Regarding the words, Bai Ming knew that he was not good at words, so he didn't care, and just listened to him quietly.
However, Bai Ming found that he was always absent-minded when he spoke. For example, when he was standing on the balcony, he would be hit by the small bench twice, and when he was in the kitchen, he would be hit by the range hood. He was so careless. It hurts Bai Ming to look at it.
But Bai Ming can confirm that Jing Yu must seldom live in this room, otherwise he wouldn't be so unfamiliar with the facilities.
When he came to the door of the last bedroom, Jing Yu told Bai Ming that this room was used by him to store the original sundries in the house, and they were all his personal items, so it was temporarily locked.
Bai Ming had a general understanding of the situation, but he wasn't actually ready to move in. He just agreed to Lu Wu to take a look. After all, he was absolutely embarrassed to cause trouble for Jing Yu.
Since he has not given a letter of approval, Lu Wu was impatient first, "Little assistant, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, but..." Bai Ming pursed his lips, lacking confidence in his heart, and looked a little inferior, "I can ask Police Officer Wenjing, the rent must be very expensive for such a good house."
Lu Wu laughed twice, folded his hands in front of him, looked at Jing Yu, and pleaded for Bai Ming: "For the sake of our little assistant being so cute, let's offer a friendly price."
Jing Yu lowered his head and put on a pensive look. He held his forehead, as if he was thinking about something. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly raised his head, first glanced at Lu Wu, then at the tenant, Said: "Half of the rented house on Changchun Road."
The shimmer reflected from the floor into Bai Ming's eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable, but after hearing the price, he was still dumbfounded and speechless.
Such a price, isn't it a joke?
The two policemen looked at him with a stunned expression, as if they were looking at a wax figure.
Lu Wu shook his eyes with his hands and said, "Can't you accept this price? Then lower it."
"No, no, no..." Bai Ming shook his head quickly, unable to believe it, "Is it a little, a little too low?"
Jing Yu raised his eyes and replied confidently, "That's the price."
Apart from being full of doubts, Bai Ming has no other thoughts. According to the normal market price, the monthly rent of this kind of house must be at least five times that of the rented house, but now the price has not only not doubled, but has shrunk by half. He was suspicious.
He turned sideways and raised his head, trying to find the answer from Lu Wu's eyes, but what he waited for was still the same sentence, "It can be lower."
Bai Ming still didn't answer, his eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them, he pinched his arm, thinking this wasn't a dream, but if it was reality, how could such a good thing like a pie in the sky happen to him?
He emphasized his tone and emphasized: "Is this price really true?"
"Yeah." Jing Yu nodded sharply and replied vigorously.
"Is it just the price of one bedroom, and you have to rent the other rooms to others?"
"It's the price of the whole house."
"Has there been a murder case before, so it has been haunted?"
"No."
"Won't the price increase in the second month?"
"will not."
After such a quick question and quick answer, Bai Ming asked all the questions he could think of, but Jing Yu ruled them all out one by one, which made him even more embarrassed to take over the house, so he lowered his head and said, "It's still okay Come on, it's a pity to rent this house to me at such a low price, Police Officer Jing can't make any money at all, you should rent it to someone else at the normal price, I can still look for it myself, thank you two police officers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wu quickly explained: "No, no, he doesn't rent it to others, Jing Yu, he, he has a cleanliness addiction, he loves cleanliness, he doesn't rent it to people who are not acquaintances, right, Jing Yu Yu."
"Yes, Captain Lu is right. If you don't rent it, I will leave this house free." Jing Yu stood where he was and responded.
Bai Ming nodded, as if he understood that this house is a combination of the right time, place, and people, and it just happened to allow him to share this good thing, and he must take care of this good thing, otherwise, the two police officers will not be very happy.
He turned his head, looked at Lu Wu, and said with some concern: "Officer Lu, you will not use your leadership position to oppress Officer Jing, threatening people to give me the house, right?"
Lu Wu burst into a smile, the corners of his eyes turned into moons, he scratched his head, and said gently: "How could I? Little assistant thinks too much."
Jing Yu also took the conversation, still indifferently said: "I voluntarily, the Lu team just recommended you here, I don't think it's useless if this house is idle all the time, if someone can live in it, it's good to clean it often, otherwise It gets dusty easily."
After speaking, he flicked the table with his fingers, but did not shake off a trace of dust.
"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?" Bai Ming opened his mouth halfway. Although the house is good, he still wants Jing Yu to think carefully before making a decision.
Lu Wu nodded decisively, proudly said without thinking: "As long as you like it, that's enough. I'll say that with me, this price will definitely satisfy you."
Jing Yu also said: "Don't think about it, I also want to rent it out soon."
Having said that, a smile gradually appeared on Bai Ming's face. He let go of all his worries about the future, and the joy of having a place to live emerged spontaneously. He kept nodding his head and thanking him. I, to all those who helped him, he expressed his sincere gratitude without hesitation.
With a straight face, Jing Yu continued, "I don't need you to sign any contract, just move in as soon as possible. As for the rent, just call me at the end of each month. Here is the card number and key."
He stretched out a hand to Bai Ming, holding a note with a series of numbers and a key that jingled in his hand.
Bai Ming knew very well that getting these things represented the beginning of a new life. He stretched out his hands to take them together, folded the note and put it in his pocket, and held the neither light nor heavy key, with a smile on his face like In the warm spring of spring, he bowed down to thank Jing Yu again, turned around, and saw Lu Wu also raised his mouth slightly, looking at him happily, with an expression of success.
Dawn breaks through the clouds at dawn, throwing away the night gauze, with a gradually intoxicating strong smell of alcohol, swaying the drunkenness of the morning glow.
The sky was like a mirror, but the waning moon lost its brilliance instead, and golden rays of light rushed towards Bai Ming. He looked at Lu Wu who was standing against the light, and suddenly remembered what Wang Qian said, and asked, "Police Lu?"
Bai Ming raised his head slowly. Everything came and went quickly, like a floating warehouse, and his mood also fluctuated accordingly.
"I actually want you to work here, you look like someone I know..."
Qian Heng's eyes showed a bit of nostalgia, as if he said from the bottom of his heart, "It's very similar, even the attitude after losing the job is exactly the same."
Bai Ming pursed his lips, unwilling to stay longer, he avoided those moon-like eyes, stood up and said, "Thank you section chief for your love."
Qian Heng realized that his gaze had brought him discomfort, so he withdrew his eyes and got up to see him off.
The air-conditioning made Bai Ming very clear-headed, he nodded slightly, and took two steps back, "Section Chief, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Qian Heng just smiled and didn't speak, his eyes kept looking at Bai Ming's back until he walked out of the room.
24. Comfort
The night is hazy, and the moonlight is like a piece of silver scales, which was unintentionally dropped here by some big fish swimming in the sea of stars, which is particularly alluring in this world of lights.
There was no customer in the store, and Bai Ming was lying on the cash register resentfully. He used to stand for three or four hours without bending over once, but this time he hadn't worked for a while, and he seemed to have lost his strength.
This scene was witnessed by Wei Dong from the back kitchen. Seeing that the cashier was so preoccupied, he walked to the front desk curiously, put his left arm on the computer, and waved his right hand back and forth in front of Bai Ming's eyes, asking, "Aren't you busy?" Just in a daze, what are you thinking?"
Bai Ming came back to his senses, propped up his body, stretched the apron he wore for work, and cheered up again, saying: "Brother Dong, I didn't think about anything, just, just some things to do during the day."
Wei Dong stared and shouted, "You got fired?"
"No."
"Is that scolded?"
"That's it."
Bai Ming also realized that he had left an impression on Weidong that his work was not going well, which made him extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't hold back, so he could only laugh a few times.
He continued: "It's not considered being scolded, it's just a trivial matter, there's nothing to mention, thank you Brother Dong."
Although he was indeed scolded today, he didn't take Zheng Ye's words to heart. Being scolded by the teacher was nothing new. What really made him unhappy was what Qian Heng said in the afternoon.
He lowered his head, and didn't want to tell Weidong these terrible things. Compared with being a person who spreads negative energy, he still prefers to tell jokes and chat with people.
Weidong took out a piece of paper, wiped off the cream on the apron, and threw the ball of paper into the trash can, "You young people always like to keep things in their hearts, and I'm older than you We are in our teens, and we can barely be considered the same age. The generation gap should not be too big. If you feel depressed, you can tell me. I may not be able to come up with reasonable ideas, but you can be happier if you say it. Isn't it?"
However, Bai Ming had a hard time associating him with his peers. He joked with a smile: "Brother Dong, I, I actually wanted to call you Uncle Dong when I first saw you."
His voice became smaller and smaller, so small that even he felt embarrassed.
Wei Dong was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be angry and said: "You child, you don't know what's good and what's wrong. I'm kind enough to help you, but you still talk like this."
Bai Ming pursed his lips, and then burst out laughing. He was still very grateful to Wei Dong in his heart. Wei Dong has always been like his bosom brother, always willing to help him out, whether it was Lu Wu's embarrassing three visits last time, or this one. If he has something on his mind, Wei Dong will be willing to help him, and he is also willing to share it. After all, the time of acquaintance with Wei Dong is the longest except for Lin Jiang, longer than the group of people in the public security department.
After laughing a few times, he suddenly felt aggrieved and said: "Actually, it was a leader of the city procuratorate. He wanted me to be his assistant, so he asked someone to take my job. If he wanted to, he made me recover again, and I was a little confused, so I kept thinking about it."
After hearing this, Wei Dong slapped his thigh, and his anger rose, "He is not in the same unit as you, and he is not your direct leader. How did he get such great power?"
"He does have the right to transfer personnel." Bai Ming smiled helplessly and took over the conversation.
Wei Dong was taken aback, "Why did he let you go? Did you explain the reason?"
Bai Ming nodded, and explained what he thought was absurd reason, "He said that I look like a person."
"Like a person?" Wei Dong withdrew his angry expression, "This reason is really strange, who is it like?"
"I didn't ask. At that time, I just wanted to sneak away. I was afraid that he would change his mind in a while, and I guess even if I asked, he wouldn't say it. If he wanted to tell me, he would have said it directly. .”
Wei Dong hummed meaningfully, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, and began to look at Bai Ming's face, from his eyebrows to his lips, and even his figure.
"What, what's the matter?" Bai Ming's gaze made him feel unnatural, he stroked the seam of his trousers and asked nervously.
"That's pretty similar." Wei Dong propped his chin and said thoughtfully.
Bai Ming was like a hooked fish, these words captured his heart, he also lowered his head to look at his body, and said, "Brother Dong, who do you look like?"
Seeing Weidong pondering, Bai Ming felt at a loss. After he learned that the third victim on Canglan Road was Lin Jiang's ex-girlfriend, he dared not ignore every word in his life easily. Completely inconspicuous details may be important clues to promote the whole case, so he can only let this uncomfortable gaze wander over him, for fear of interrupting Weidong's thoughts.
Wei Dong thought for a long time, and finally said: "You are good-looking, like that movie star who is very popular recently."
Bai Ming: "..."
It turned out to be a joke, the strength gathered in this body was completely slack, he lowered his head again, and sighed deeply.
"Isn't it like that?" Seeing this, Wei Dong asked again.
Bai Ming was speechless, and he said after a while: "Thank you, Brother Dong, but I don't think the leaders of the procuratorate let me in because of this."
Wei Dong replied: "It's true, he is 1.7 meters tall."
Bai Ming: "..."
"Okay, I'm not joking." Wei Dong said again, "Don't think too much, in fact, life is very simple, as long as you don't care about other people's opinions and do your job well, most people's depression is because of worry. It is caused by other people's evaluation of us, but this is beyond our control."
The words were serious, like the comforting tone of an elder, he stretched out his hand, pulled off the thread on the edge of Bai Ming's sleeve, and continued: "Remember, no matter who you look like, or who looks like you, that's what they see. Don't let their casual words affect your mood, not to mention that you look so good, do you care who you are said to look like?"
Bai Ming looked at his kind face, his earnest consolation was like the clouds blooming and the moon shining, the blinding branches and leaves were blown off by the wind, and the world once again had its brilliance.
"You're right, I understand..." Bai Ming woke up like a dream, and the smile on his face became as clear as before. He picked up the small biscuit from the sample product, stuffed it into his mouth, and chuckled. With a clear and loud sound, "Brother Dong, you always give me the feeling of being a big brother, and you can persuade me and comfort me appropriately every time, as if you have experienced strong winds and waves, and you take everything lightly. Thank you, thank you."
"Big wind and waves?" Wei Dong smiled, "I'm just a dessert cook. I'm a vulgar person with no culture. How have I seen the world? If you think the food in our shop is delicious, I'll be satisfied .”
"Delicious, very delicious!" Bai Ming licked the remaining powder on his fingers, "After eating the desserts you made, my taste has become picky, and I rarely meet satisfactory ones. I feel sorry for you, with your craftsmanship, it is a bit overkill to only develop in this cake shop of more than ten square meters."
Wei Dong smiled smugly, "Really?"
"Yes, I went to Jiefang Hotel a few days ago. The desserts there are said to be the best in the city, but except for the butterfly cakes, it is difficult to attract me. I think that with your ability, you can beat most of the desserts in the city. A pastry chef is a piece of cake."
Bai Ming spoke very proudly, as if the person who can make desserts is himself.
"Jiefang Hotel? Butterfly Crisp?" Wei Dong was startled, "So, I'll make a Butterfly Crisp another day for you to try. If I pass the test, I'll try to apply for a job. Don't let the boss I know."
I don't know if this is a joke or if it is serious, Wei Dong saw a visitor, so he also went back to the back kitchen.
After these conversations, Bai Ming felt much more at ease. He admired such an open-minded person as Wei Dong. In him, Bai Ming could always feel the simplicity and innocence of the down-to-earth. A rare species in this busy city.
Bai Ming stopped thinking about those disturbing things, and started to stand on his post wholeheartedly, earnestly doing tonight's work.
The hot wind of the city was blocked by the tall buildings, so it couldn't blow into the dazzlingly bright Huabaibang. After standing for a while, Bai Ming broke out in a sweat.
While he was helping the customer to pack the bag, suddenly the cell phone rang beside him. He quickly muted the volume and sealed the bag for the customer. After paying the bill, he hurriedly looked down and saw that the person on the caller ID turned out to be the landlord of the rental house on Changchun Road. He looked around and saw no customers coming forward, so he turned his back and pressed the answer button.
The landlord opened his mouth, and after waiting for a long time, he said impatiently: "Bai Ming, right? The house has been cleaned up, and the police have unsealed it. Do you still want to move in?"
Bai Ming was taken aback. He really didn't expect Captain Zhou Liang to inspect so quickly. He had only moved into Lin Jiang's house for two weeks, and the investigation and evidence collection of the rented house had already been completed. He thought for a while into the microphone, and said falteringly: "I……"
After all, there have been two deaths in this house. Except for Bai Ming, I am afraid that no one else would like to rent this kind of house. Seeing his hesitation, the landlord was afraid that he would refuse, so he added: "I can understand your feelings, but one death is not the same as death." The two are the same, so you don’t need to be afraid, if you choose to renew the lease, I can cut the rent in half and let you stay for two more months for free.”
Rent cut in half!This is a great thing!
For Bai Ming, if he can save more money, he can gain more hope of staying in Jiangzhou. It is difficult for him to refuse such a temptation.
But Bai Ming was still not at ease, and asked again: "Did the police check everything inside and out?"
The landlord snorted, "Yes, don't worry, no one is dead."
Bai Ming struggled for a while, finally made up his mind, and agreed: "I will rent it, and I will move back on the weekend..."
He turned sideways, lowered his head, and was so fascinated by the talk that he even forgot to see if anyone was queuing up to check out. Halfway through his speech, he glanced at the line from the corner of his eye, but saw a pair of large white sneakers appeared in his line of sight.
The customer is here!
He hastily continued: "Wait a moment, I'll be fine soon."
Bai Ming took the phone from his ear, put on a standard smile, raised his head, and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
And in front of his eyes, the person wearing white sneakers was looking down at him with a smile on his face, with lights shining in his eyes, overflowing with gentle joy.
Bai Ming was taken aback, then blinked, "Officer Lu?"
Lu Wu was still wearing sports clothes, sweating profusely, he wiped his forehead, stood in front of Bai Ming, and said loudly: "Little assistant, although we just met during the day, I'm still here, good evening. "
This is his first visit to this cake shop after Bai Ming found out that he doesn't like sweets.
Just when Bai Ming was surprised, his hand touched the hands-free button, and the avatar on the phone became even more impatient, and shouted: "Hey! Are you renting or not? Give me a letter!"
This shout made Bai Ming startled. He almost couldn't hold the phone firmly in his hand. The volume was so loud that almost everyone in the store looked over. He immediately turned off the hands-free, raised the phone, and was about to speak. But he was snatched by Lu Wu.
Lu Wu replied unceremoniously: "No more renting, you can leave this house to others."
This kind of joke is unacceptable, Bai Ming hastily walked around outside the cash register, but Lu Wu straightened his chest, stood like a pine and cypress, and was still holding on to the phone, Bai Ming couldn't grab it at all, so he tiptoed and jumped a few times on the spot, The moment he jumped up, he was able to make his mouth even with the phone, and he hurriedly said, "I'll rent it! I'll rent it!"
Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Wu moved his mobile phone to the other ear. He hurried to the other side, but Lu Wu's voice had already overshadowed him: "Although the house has been inspected, it is not suitable to move in immediately, and With your attitude, I think there should be no shortage of people to rent."
"I'll rent it!" Bai Ming continued to jump and grab it. This time Lu Wu turned around with a smile on his lips, and then pressed his hands on his shoulders. Those hands were so strong that he couldn't jump up at all.
This situation made all the customers in the store dumbfounded, watching this dramatic scene dumbly.
The landlord was silent for a few seconds, and just about to hang up, Lu Wu said again: "Remember to return the excess rent, otherwise I can hold you accountable according to the previously signed housing rental contract."
The other party was stunned when he heard it, and his attitude immediately became gentle, "Okay, okay, I will refund it to you."
Lu Wu hung up the phone, that bright smile seemed to have made a great contribution.
This day was too long, and it was very difficult. First, I accompanied Lin Jiang to the city bureau early in the morning, but was hugged by Lu Wu and fell down. At noon, I was scolded by Zheng Ye. In the afternoon, I almost lost my job because of Qian Heng. Now at night, even the house is gone.
This bad day made Bai Ming lose his strength. He swallowed his breath and went back to the cash register. He lowered his head, frowned, and pursed his mouth in displeasure, "Officer Lu, what are you doing?"
"Angry?" Lu Wu bent down and looked at the decadent little assistant from one side, "Don't be angry, if you are unhappy, what will your customers do?"
After finishing speaking, he moved to the side so that Bai Ming faced the entire storefront.
Lu Wu deserves a beating like this.
Bai Ming gritted his teeth, and had to raise his head again, only to find that there was no one in the store. Maybe they had all left after Lu Wu made such a fuss just now. A small flower that grows in the desert has no moisture at all.
He asked feebly, "What is Officer Lu doing here today?"
The corner of Lu Wu's mouth couldn't help but raised a smile, and said: "To prevent you from continuing to live in that rental house."
"I already know, is there any more?"
"Then I'll buy some bread."
"Don't you like sweets?"
Lu Wu replied with a smile: "I like to eat what you have here."
Bai Ming didn't want to continue bickering with him, so he asked something serious: "Why did you prevent me from living in?"
"There were two murders in that house. The area is still small, the facilities are outdated, the sound insulation is not good, the quality inspection is not up to standard, the winter is cold and the summer is hot, the air conditioner is not working, the neighborhood is gloomy and dark at night, the day is not sunny, and even the camera does not work properly. , these reasons should be enough."
Lu Wu listed all the shortcomings that Bai Ming knew about, but Bai Ming said, "But it's cheap."
"It's not cheap, you can't just settle for yourself, that place is not suitable for you to live in, you should choose a better one."
Bai Ming also wants to live in a good and cheap place, but there is no such house in the city center of Jiangzhou. After listening quietly, he could only laugh dryly, picked up the phone again, and said, "I think this rental house is It's very good, it suits me very well, otherwise with my salary level, I can only sleep on the street."
After finishing speaking, he cheered himself up again: "Besides, if I have the conditions to change to a better one, I won't have two jobs here. I have to do them well."
These are all his truest thoughts in his heart. He wants to do everything within his power with his own ability.
Lu Wu looked at the man in front of him who was full of confidence in life, as if he couldn't be defeated by any difficulties, he withdrew his unruly appearance, and said with a serious smile: "Actually, I came here to tell you something."
His sincere tone made Bai Ming puzzled. Although he had been in the store for a long time, Bai Ming's nose had long been accustomed to the aroma of various baked goods, but when he said this, the sweetness in the store seemed to become more mellow and rich.
When the wind blows, Lu Wu's smile rises with the wind. This expression can be described as "white and limited", "I've found a house for you, and you can just move in."
25. New home
This is the real purpose of Lu Wu's coming tonight.
Bai Ming was taken aback for a moment, doubting what he heard, and then repeated, "Have you found a house for me?"
Lu Wu nodded, waiting for a response full of joy, the stars were shining brightly, and the brilliance of the bright moon merged into a magnificent galaxy in his eyes, making everything traceable.
This sudden news made Bai Ming stand still. He was thin-skinned and didn't want to trouble others, so he made up a reason, "Thank you Officer Lu, but I, I haven't lived enough at Lin Jiang's house yet."
He doesn't even believe this kind of excuse, and who would like to stay in someone else's house? Even though Lin Jiang's house is a big villa with all kinds of home services, but after all, it is someone else's property and has been given to Lin Jiang's family Adding trouble is something that Bai Ming is very resistant to.
In addition, he didn't want to bother Lu Wu anymore. Since they met, Bai Ming has already owed a lot of favors. He has always wanted to find a chance to repay them, but Lu Wu seems to have everything. Continue to owe more, which also touched the red line in his heart.
Lu Wu asked: "The little assistant can't live in someone else's house forever."
These words were very precise, Bai Ming blinked his eyes twice to relieve the dryness of his eyeballs when he was stunned just now, he lightly pursed his upper and lower lips, and wiped away the dry cracks with the tip of his tongue, the summer night is like a water pump, When the temperature is high, the body's moisture can be easily drained.
He swallowed, lowered his head, thought about it, and then said embarrassedly: "I, I'd better find it myself, and I won't bother the police officer."
"What I found is ready-made." Lu Wu responded freely and was extremely confident.
He answered every sentence quickly, just the opposite of Bai Ming.
There was another silence, and Lu Wu's full smile seemed to see how Bai Ming could evade. After a while, before he could get an answer, he stopped joking and said seriously: "I know what you are worried about. The house is Jing Yu's house. Yes, he has two sets, and he has been idling with this set, so he wants to pack it up and let you live in it for free."
Bai Ming looked bewildered, and said slowly: "Officer Jing? I don't know him very well, why does he want to let me live for free?"
"He has a good heart." Lu Wu scratched the back of his head lightly, with an unnatural tone.
This reason is rather weak, Bai Ming was not persuaded, he shook his head, and replied: "It's better, I can find it myself, thank you, Police Officer Jing, and thank you."
Lu Wu had expected this step a long time ago, this kind of free house Baiming would definitely not be greedy for cheap living, "Jing Yu also said, if you mind living for free, he allows you to pay him a little every month, so You can live in peace of mind, and he can earn some extra money, killing two birds with one stone, and you have met each other, so renting it to someone you know is better than someone you don't know, right?"
If Jingyu's goal is to make money, then Bai Ming can live comfortably.
"The location is also in Huashirahama, just next to it. It's a 2-minute walk from your place, so that you can get home quickly after the night shift. If you go to the court in the early morning, you can take the subway from here to get there in 10 minutes." Lu Wu explained the benefits again Say everything, persuade in every possible way.
But Bai Ming didn't know why he was so impatient, so he could only follow him and say, "That's really convenient."
After all, he didn't agree in his heart, Bai Ming looked at his earnest eyes, and after a moment of consideration, he said again: "Well, let's forget it."
"How can I forget it? Don't worry, with me as a guarantee, Jing Yu won't dare to cheat you."
Lu Wu made another series of persuasion. He tried his best to dispel Bai Ming's worries. In order to avoid his repentance, he turned around and left in a hurry after speaking, "That's it, move in as soon as possible."
Before Bai Ming could even react, he had already walked to the door.
"Officer wait!"
Lu Wu stopped, and turned around, the wind chime to see off the guests was jingling above his head, and the cool night breeze wiped away the throbbing heat all over his body.
"Then can I go and have a look first?" Bai Ming smiled dryly, reluctantly agreeing.
Lu Wu smiled slightly, his expression was as warm as the wind, as if a grand and vast spring had come.
As long as he sees Bai Ming, he can't help smiling like this, his voice is chic and unrestrained, but also gentle and honest, "Gather at Huabaibang Subway Station before going to work tomorrow, okay?"
He pointed to the entrance of the subway station outside, and when he heard Bai Ming say hello, he strode away.
Bai Ming looked at his back disappearing into the crowd and the night, feeling a little complicated. As a friend he just met, he had already received so many favors from Lu Wu, and now he owed a bigger one. He didn't know how to repay it all. Also on.
The moonlight is hazy, dancing with the wind.
In the early morning, the first ray of sky came straight in from the east, and before everyone got up, Bai Ming had already packed up quietly, slipped out of the gate of the villa, caught the first subway, and arrived at the agreed place, although he was a lover A latecomer, but he came early this time.
When he thought he would be the first to arrive, he took the escalator out of the station and saw two policemen had already appeared in front of him.
He's still last.
With a grin on his lips, he came to the two of them, looking like a wanted prisoner, holding his left arm with his right hand, and said, "It's really early for you guys."
Lu Wu stretched his waist, shook his shoulders, took out a deep-fried dough stick and a cup of soy milk from behind, and replied: "We just came here too, you live far away, it doesn't matter if you are late, you haven't had breakfast yet, fill up first Say something else to your stomach."
Bai Ming was surprised, he even got a breakfast when he came to see the room, which made him even more ashamed, but seeing Lu Wu's hospitality, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it, nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you Officer Lu."
"You're welcome, when you move here, you will have more breakfast choices..." Lu Wu smiled with satisfaction, and pointed at the fried stick again, "Eat it quickly, it will be cold in a while."
Bai Ming looked at the silent Jing Yu beside him, squeezed out a smile, then slightly waved his hand holding the fried dough stick, and said, "Officer Jing, good morning."
"Hello." Jing Yu replied softly, her tone a little cold.
Bai Ming met him a few times, but they hardly spoke, so they could only keep smiling. The two nodded at each other, but no one answered.
Two introverts can easily push the atmosphere into an awkward situation.
Fortunately, Lu Wu moved closer in time, stuck between the two of them, and said, "Okay, let's go and see the house first."
From the subway station, it only takes 2 minutes to walk to the gate of the community. The security here is excellent, even the access control and real-time monitoring are all available. The first impression is that it is a mid-to-high-end community.
Although this neighborhood is in a busy city, when you step into it, there is no noise, it can be regarded as a quiet place in the middle of the bustle.
The distance between each building is not too far or too close, so that the light can just hit the window sills on each floor.
What surprised Bai Ming the most was the greenery in the courtyard. The morning light slanted in from the gaps between the buildings, covering the flowers. There is also a small lake in this community, just looking at it adds to the hot summer. If it is a big festival, the device of the musical fountain will be activated, playing the appropriate song.
After all, Huabaibang is one of the four major business districts in Jiangzhou. It is very close to supermarkets, restaurants, gyms, shopping centers, rest places, etc., all within walking distance. Of course, for office workers like Baiming, it is the best The important thing is the subway station that is 2 minutes away.
All in all, although this place can't compare with Lin Jiang's luxurious villas, it definitely belongs to Bai Ming's dream of a house that is beyond reach.
Bai Ming followed the two of them into the No. 3 tall building in the south, and stopped steadily on the 19th floor with the elevator.
He was a little surprised that March 3 was his birthday.
What a coincidence...
There are two floors and two households here. Jing Yu told him that no one lives next door, and the occupancy rate of this community is not very high. After all, in this kind of area, there are still houses of this level, and few people can afford them.
Jing Yu walked to the door of 1901, he opened the door and invited everyone to enter the house.
The first dawn dawned, passing through the living room like a feathered arrow, pouring on Bai Ming's body, the sun seemed to be drunk, shining bright spots, and carrying the most comfortable temperature, soaking the whole room into a transparent and warm place, He was stunned, just standing at the entrance, he was already shocked by the huge room.
Seeing this, Lu Wu smiled and gently pushed him in. This house has two living rooms, two bathrooms, three bedrooms, an independent kitchen and a bright balcony. The house has a wide view, and the furniture is neatly arranged. The main tone is gray and white. , the overall simplicity and elegance.
A few pots of green plants squat in the corner, revealing a trace of vitality, like a brand new house.
The most eye-catching thing was a vase on the coffee table, and there were many fake flowers in the vase. After counting them, Bai Ming found that there were thirteen flowers in total.
Jing Yu took Bai Ming around for a brief tour. The area of this house was the same as its house number, 190.1 square meters. From the living room to every room, he used the simplest words. Regarding the words, Bai Ming knew that he was not good at words, so he didn't care, and just listened to him quietly.
However, Bai Ming found that he was always absent-minded when he spoke. For example, when he was standing on the balcony, he would be hit by the small bench twice, and when he was in the kitchen, he would be hit by the range hood. He was so careless. It hurts Bai Ming to look at it.
But Bai Ming can confirm that Jing Yu must seldom live in this room, otherwise he wouldn't be so unfamiliar with the facilities.
When he came to the door of the last bedroom, Jing Yu told Bai Ming that this room was used by him to store the original sundries in the house, and they were all his personal items, so it was temporarily locked.
Bai Ming had a general understanding of the situation, but he wasn't actually ready to move in. He just agreed to Lu Wu to take a look. After all, he was absolutely embarrassed to cause trouble for Jing Yu.
Since he has not given a letter of approval, Lu Wu was impatient first, "Little assistant, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, but..." Bai Ming pursed his lips, lacking confidence in his heart, and looked a little inferior, "I can ask Police Officer Wenjing, the rent must be very expensive for such a good house."
Lu Wu laughed twice, folded his hands in front of him, looked at Jing Yu, and pleaded for Bai Ming: "For the sake of our little assistant being so cute, let's offer a friendly price."
Jing Yu lowered his head and put on a pensive look. He held his forehead, as if he was thinking about something. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly raised his head, first glanced at Lu Wu, then at the tenant, Said: "Half of the rented house on Changchun Road."
The shimmer reflected from the floor into Bai Ming's eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable, but after hearing the price, he was still dumbfounded and speechless.
Such a price, isn't it a joke?
The two policemen looked at him with a stunned expression, as if they were looking at a wax figure.
Lu Wu shook his eyes with his hands and said, "Can't you accept this price? Then lower it."
"No, no, no..." Bai Ming shook his head quickly, unable to believe it, "Is it a little, a little too low?"
Jing Yu raised his eyes and replied confidently, "That's the price."
Apart from being full of doubts, Bai Ming has no other thoughts. According to the normal market price, the monthly rent of this kind of house must be at least five times that of the rented house, but now the price has not only not doubled, but has shrunk by half. He was suspicious.
He turned sideways and raised his head, trying to find the answer from Lu Wu's eyes, but what he waited for was still the same sentence, "It can be lower."
Bai Ming still didn't answer, his eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them, he pinched his arm, thinking this wasn't a dream, but if it was reality, how could such a good thing like a pie in the sky happen to him?
He emphasized his tone and emphasized: "Is this price really true?"
"Yeah." Jing Yu nodded sharply and replied vigorously.
"Is it just the price of one bedroom, and you have to rent the other rooms to others?"
"It's the price of the whole house."
"Has there been a murder case before, so it has been haunted?"
"No."
"Won't the price increase in the second month?"
"will not."
After such a quick question and quick answer, Bai Ming asked all the questions he could think of, but Jing Yu ruled them all out one by one, which made him even more embarrassed to take over the house, so he lowered his head and said, "It's still okay Come on, it's a pity to rent this house to me at such a low price, Police Officer Jing can't make any money at all, you should rent it to someone else at the normal price, I can still look for it myself, thank you two police officers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wu quickly explained: "No, no, he doesn't rent it to others, Jing Yu, he, he has a cleanliness addiction, he loves cleanliness, he doesn't rent it to people who are not acquaintances, right, Jing Yu Yu."
"Yes, Captain Lu is right. If you don't rent it, I will leave this house free." Jing Yu stood where he was and responded.
Bai Ming nodded, as if he understood that this house is a combination of the right time, place, and people, and it just happened to allow him to share this good thing, and he must take care of this good thing, otherwise, the two police officers will not be very happy.
He turned his head, looked at Lu Wu, and said with some concern: "Officer Lu, you will not use your leadership position to oppress Officer Jing, threatening people to give me the house, right?"
Lu Wu burst into a smile, the corners of his eyes turned into moons, he scratched his head, and said gently: "How could I? Little assistant thinks too much."
Jing Yu also took the conversation, still indifferently said: "I voluntarily, the Lu team just recommended you here, I don't think it's useless if this house is idle all the time, if someone can live in it, it's good to clean it often, otherwise It gets dusty easily."
After speaking, he flicked the table with his fingers, but did not shake off a trace of dust.
"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?" Bai Ming opened his mouth halfway. Although the house is good, he still wants Jing Yu to think carefully before making a decision.
Lu Wu nodded decisively, proudly said without thinking: "As long as you like it, that's enough. I'll say that with me, this price will definitely satisfy you."
Jing Yu also said: "Don't think about it, I also want to rent it out soon."
Having said that, a smile gradually appeared on Bai Ming's face. He let go of all his worries about the future, and the joy of having a place to live emerged spontaneously. He kept nodding his head and thanking him. I, to all those who helped him, he expressed his sincere gratitude without hesitation.
With a straight face, Jing Yu continued, "I don't need you to sign any contract, just move in as soon as possible. As for the rent, just call me at the end of each month. Here is the card number and key."
He stretched out a hand to Bai Ming, holding a note with a series of numbers and a key that jingled in his hand.
Bai Ming knew very well that getting these things represented the beginning of a new life. He stretched out his hands to take them together, folded the note and put it in his pocket, and held the neither light nor heavy key, with a smile on his face like In the warm spring of spring, he bowed down to thank Jing Yu again, turned around, and saw Lu Wu also raised his mouth slightly, looking at him happily, with an expression of success.
Dawn breaks through the clouds at dawn, throwing away the night gauze, with a gradually intoxicating strong smell of alcohol, swaying the drunkenness of the morning glow.
The sky was like a mirror, but the waning moon lost its brilliance instead, and golden rays of light rushed towards Bai Ming. He looked at Lu Wu who was standing against the light, and suddenly remembered what Wang Qian said, and asked, "Police Lu?"
