After becoming the group pet of the Public Procuratorate

The task that was announced in advance was Lin Jiang's own job, and in the end he had to rely on others, he looked at his unreliable friend, let out a long sigh, only to hear Lu Wu reply: "I've done it. "

As soon as the voice fell, the door lock was opened with a snap, the door handle was pushed down, and the door was slowly pushed out. Bai Ming stared intently at the crack of the door, and he saw a middle-aged woman in her 50s.

The woman's hair is slightly curly, as if it has been permed, and is combed cleanly, without any abrupt hairline. She wears a pair of round-frame reading glasses. Although there are some wrinkles left on her face, her cheeks are rosy. He is full of looks, wearing a suit of colorful shirts, very foreign style, and he looks like an intellectual.

Bai Ming can clearly confirm that she is Lin Jiang's professor, He Fang.

He Fang's expression was instantly surprised, and she opened the door wide, and exclaimed with her mouth open: "Lin Jiang! Lu Wu! You are here!"

Lu Wu mentioned the things he brought here, and said hello shyly: "Master, we are here to see you."

Lin Jiang also opened his mouth wide, put the things in his hands down, squeezed past Bai Ming and Lu Wu, rushed up and gave He Fang a big hug, and shouted excitedly: "Professor He!"

He Fang raised her brows with joy, embraced Lin Jiang with both hands, and patted him on the back, her tone full of affection, "Lin Jiang! I haven't finished eating the zongzi that was given to me during the Dragon Boat Festival, why did I buy so much again?" How many?"

"I miss you. We bought this stuff together. It's very fresh. If you don't want to eat the zongzi, don't eat it. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so it's time for me to give you mooncakes again." Lin Jiang let go of his hugging hands , as if coquettish.

"Come in, come in." He Fang grinned from ear to ear, took what Lu Wu was carrying, turned her head and shouted inwardly, "Old man, your precious apprentice is here!"

Bai Ming just smiled, shyly watching what happened before him, not knowing what to say.

Soon the footsteps of another person came from the door, from far to near, although he hadn't shown up yet, but Bai Ming could hear it, the sound varied from deep to shallow, it should be a little lame.

Sure enough, behind the crowd, a man nearly sixty years old walked slowly. His walking posture obviously put his weight on one of the legs, but it didn't look serious.

Although the couple are about the same age, this man is obviously much older. He is not tall, but he is three fingers taller than Bai Ming. White, like a thin layer of snow on the withered grass, hickey marks of years engraved on the weather-beaten face, a pair of eyes are piercing, but at the same time exuding a kind light, the whole person is full of energy and radiant.

When Lu Wu saw the man, he was overjoyed and stepped into the room. His tone was no longer shy, but he shouted excitedly, "Master!"

When Yang Zhong saw him, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he smiled energetically. As soon as Old Yan spoke, he had the smell of a criminal policeman: "Your boy is here!"

The two were all smiles, and they hugged for a while, but soon let go. Bai Ming knew that although the two of them had as deep feelings as Lin Jiang and He Fang, they were not good at expressing themselves after all. very different.

Seeing them all together in twos, greeting each other, this scene made Bai Ming feel that he was very redundant, so he had no choice but to stand at the door, maintaining a polite smile on his face.

"Master, this is Bai Ming." Lu Wu turned sideways, trying to avoid being in the middle.

Hearing this, Bai Ming quickly looked at Yang Zhong, nodded his head lightly, and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhong."

But Yang Zhong's reaction made him feel surprised. Those eyes looked him up from head to toe, and there were countless complexities in his eyes, all kinds of emotions were mixed together, like curiosity, like clarity, like It was a long-awaited riddle finally solved.

Yang Zhong also nodded, and glanced at Lu Wu next to him, only to see that his ears were reddish, very unnatural, Yang Zhong didn't say anything, walked up to Bai Ming, pulled his arm, and said deeply: " Come in, Bai Ming."

"This child looks so delicate, like a girl." He Fang also took Bai Ming's other arm, and the couple sandwiched him between them, all four pairs of eyes in the room were staring at his face, This made him dare not cast his eyes randomly, hesitating and uneasy, he glanced at Lin Jiang and Lu Wu who were left aside, both of them had smiles on their faces, but Lin Jiang seemed to be watching a joke, while Lu Wu took Full of joy.

Bai Ming took the initiative to say hello: "Professor He, Uncle Zhong, hello, I, I am Lin Jiang's college roommate, my name is Bai Ming, Bai in the daytime, and Ming in tomorrow, I am a graduate of the Law Department of Jiangzhou University. I am currently in, He works in the Huai’an District People’s Court as a judge’s assistant and a colleague of Police Officer Lu.”

"What are you so nervous about?" Yang Zhong joked, "The self-report is so clear, it makes me feel like I'm interrogating a criminal suspect."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Bai Ming also smiled dryly. The detachment leader he imagined might be the same serious person as Lu Wu usually is, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Yang Zhong said again: "No wonder the three of you came together, or else I'm still wondering when my apprentice met Lin Jiang."

He Fang pressed him on a chair beside a round table, and said kindly: "Look at the students of our Jiangzhou University, they have good looks and abilities, who can't like it?"

"Are the students of our People's Public Security University poor?" Yang Zhong was not to be outdone, and also shot back, "Old lady, what is Lu Wu lacking in appearance and ability?"

There was another burst of laughter in the room.

He Fang sat by Bai Ming's side and comforted her: "Bai Ming, although this is your first time here, Lin Jiang, Lu Wu and our husband and wife are very familiar, so don't be too restrained, you can come here often in the future .”

"Okay, thank you professor." Bai Ming replied with a smile, the relaxed atmosphere here relieved a bit of tension.

After speaking, He Fang stood up again and said with a smile: "It's twelve o'clock now, let's chat while eating, I'll get you some food, wait a moment."

"Professor, I'll help you." Lin Jiang took the words and followed into the kitchen.

Bai Ming got up immediately and raised his voice, "I'm here to help too!"

"You don't need it." Yang Zhong rejected his offer, stood in front of him, beckoned him to sit down, and pulled Lu Wu to sit at the round table. He was facing Bai Ming on the left, and Lu Wu was on the right. He was very happy to be among the two, "You are the biggest guest today, you have to stay here, just to talk to this old man with me."

It's just that the conversation wasn't enjoyable, Yang Zhong shouted to the kitchen again: "Old lady, it's a busy day, open a bottle for us!"

34. Visit

Drinking, this is an activity that Bai Ming has never tried. If it is said that the time he drank the most was probably the green plum fruit wine he drank at the fish feast with Qian Heng last week.

But thinking that there was still business to do, he hurriedly waved his hands and persuaded: "Uncle Zhong, I accept it kindly, but don't drink the wine, we will leave after dinner, besides, Officer Lu still has to drive."

The words were only half spoken, Lin Jiang had already held a bottle of white wine and a few wine cups in both hands, he put them on the table, and said with an air: "It's okay to drink less, I have the car keys, I'll just drive when I get back."

"Lin Jiang has said that, so why don't we drink? Let's drink less, it's okay, come on!" Yang Zhong spoke boldly, filling three wine cups while speaking.

The smell of wine was like an invisible smoke, which stimulated every cell in the nasal cavity. Bai Ming didn't like the smell, so he trembled, and moved the wine cup in front of him a little farther away, with an unbearable resistance on his face. With a wry smile: "I, I won't drink, I don't know how to drink."

"Just one cup!" Yang Zhong immediately picked it up and handed it over.

"Uncle Zhong, I really don't know how to do it." Bai Ming was so anxious that he put his hands in front of him and didn't pick it up.

The wine cups were pushing and shoving each other between the two, and Yang Zhong had no intention of backing down, insisting on forcing him to drink it.

Lu Wu stood up, snatched the glass of wine from Yang Zhong's hand, and said, "Master, let me drink it for him."

Yang Zhong was startled, and saw that the wine in the cup was drank by his apprentice without a single drop left. He smacked his lips a few times, pointed to Lu Wu and said, "Your boy is really eager. There is a whole bottle of wine here. Do you want to drink every next cup for Bai Ming?"

Lu Wu didn't answer, the smell was so strong that he twisted his nose and took a deep breath.

Although this glass of wine was swallowed by Lu Wu, Bai Ming felt his throat was scorched by strong alcohol. Before Yang Zhong turned his head, he was afraid that Lu Wu would make a mistake by drinking, so he blinked hurriedly to signal.

The alcohol was too strong, and Lu Wu's expression was not good-looking, so he nodded lightly, which was considered to be understood.

After clinking glasses with Lu Wu a few more times, Yang Zhong turned around slowly and asked kindly: "Bai Ming, if I remember correctly, you just said you were a judge's assistant in Huai'an Court?"

Bai Ming responded. He raised his face and looked at the face of the interrogator. His eyes were deep but dim, and his temples were like frost. But not haggard, that is the unique spiritual outlook of this profession, and it is the result of years of wind and sun and shouldering heavy responsibilities.

"Which judge?" Yang Zhong asked again.

"Judge Zheng Ye Zheng, I am his assistant."

"Zheng Ye, you are an old acquaintance. He used to be my colleague."

If they knew each other, then Yang Zhong could be regarded as a half acquaintance, which added a little invisibility to his closeness, but Bai Ming's ears firmly grasped the word "colleague", remembering that Zheng Ye once said that he was a policeman. Changed to the job of judge, it seems that Zheng Ye may have cooperated with Yang Zhong before.

Yang Zhong let out a muffled laugh, and said in a plausible way: "Zheng Ye is indifferent to fame and wealth, and his ability is far above that of the intermediate court, but he insists on nesting in that small basic court. He refuses to be promoted, and he just wants to make a living." Stay there for the rest of your life, and if you follow him, your future career will not be easy, and Zheng Ye has a weird temper and is rigid and dogmatic, so if you become his assistant, the job must be difficult."

Bai Ming didn't fall for it, but this is what he said from the bottom of his heart, "Mr. Zheng is willing to choose me as an assistant, I am already very satisfied, and he is just a knife-mouthed bean curd, and he is a little harsher in words, but he is actually very good to me. I am very content to work as a judge's assistant in Huai'an Court."

Yang Zhong was satisfied with the answer, and continued: "Zheng Ye's selection of apprentices is as strict as mine. Since you can be selected by him, it seems that you must be better than others."

"That's not true. In fact, I don't know why Mr. Zheng chose me. He said I have a good attitude."

Bai Ming carefully recalled the interview that day. Zheng Ye recruited him under his command based on the absurd reason that he was hijacked by Wei Feng. I felt that Zheng Ye must have other reasons, but he didn't want to talk about it before the time came.

Lu Wuhu said shortly: "That's for sure, the little assistant is very good, at least in my heart."

Yang Zhong raised his hand, tapped Lu Wu's shoulder, and said to Bai Ming: "That's right, this kid has a very good eye, he can spot criminals in the crowd at a glance, no one can escape his eyes, you can be caught by him , then you must be a good boy too."

Bai Ming was slightly stunned, with confusion in his eyes.

"What I said looks good means to choose and then work together." Yang Zhong realized the ambiguity in what he said just now, and explained it sentence by sentence. Lu Wu, who was also a little surprised by this remark, changed the subject, "Boy, how is your work doing recently? Can you handle it by yourself?"

Lu Wu returned loudly: "Master, don't worry, everything is going well."

As soon as this remark came out, Yang Zhong did not show any relief. He sighed, picked up his wine glass and took a sip, and patted Lu Wu's thigh, speaking earnestly.

"I know that you have a heart of reverence and love for this profession. You are always desperate and courageous. You have always worked for the concept of serving the people. In the eyes of everyone, you are a good policeman. This is obvious to all.

"However, as I have said many times, the task belongs to the public, and the life belongs to oneself. You must protect yourself before you can protect others.

Our industry has always been a high-risk occupation, and countless people die in the line of duty every year. I don't want you to let us white-haired people give away black-haired people when you are young.

"You have to remember, we criminal police, people are dead and birds are in the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years."

Bai Ming was taken aback by the last words, but although the words were a bit rough, they were very reasonable.

Yang Zhong's tone became agitated, as if the alcohol had played a role, forcing him to use his strength to speak. As an experienced old policeman and Lu Wu's master, he was naturally earnest and persuasive.

Lu Wu was full of respect, and whispered: "Master, don't worry, I will remember it."

"You don't remember at all, kid." Yang Zhong immediately retorted back, with a particularly dignified tone.

Bai Ming lost his mind, he seemed to be holding a rabbit in his arms, jumping thumping, but he didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between master and apprentice, so he could only listen in silence.

Lu Wu lowered his head humbly, like a child being reprimanded by his parents. Except for Bai Ming, his indifference and power always give people an inexplicable sense of distance. After all, his status is high and he can't fight with his subordinates. , but Bai Ming saw Lu Wu's appearance at the moment for the first time.

Yang Zhong told the truth: "In the early summer of this year, that guy named Wei Feng escaped from prison and took a hostage on Changchun Road. You know that he is a heinous devil who can do anything. But you risked yourself and entered the community alone to negotiate with him. Our industry is most taboo to go deep alone. I have been telling you since the time you went to Wangjianglou to clean up gangsters. After all these years, you still haven’t remember."

Bai Ming was taken aback, feeling embarrassed. Hearing what Yang Zhong meant, he probably didn't know that he was the hostage that night, but even so, his cheeks were red and hot like bricks that had just been baked, and there seemed to be something in his heart. The feather duster was itching everywhere, he pursed his lips, his thoughts were like a tangled mess.

"Well, I'm sorry Uncle Zhong." Bai Ming said, lowering his head embarrassedly, "The hostage that was taken that night was actually me."

Yang Zhong was stunned.

He realized that he had said something wrong, looked back at the ashamed Bai Ming, and then glanced at his apprentice. He wanted to educate Lu Wu, but he accidentally poked Bai Ming's vulnerable heart. If he could do it all over again, he would This sentence must be taken back.

But he suddenly realized, as if he suddenly understood everything.

"What are you talking about, old man." He Fang took Lin Jiang out of the kitchen to bring out a few dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, everything. Accompanied by the smell of rice, she complained, "Lu Wu came to see you, you Still talking like this, how come you are not you after drinking some wine?"

Yang Zhong clasped his hands together, sighed secretly, a little aggrieved.

Lu Wu stood up, moved the fish in front of Bai Ming, and said respectfully: "Master's words are all advice, I won't do it next time."

"You say that every time, how can you listen to it?"

Yang Zhong glanced at him, and took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Lin Jiang. Six Yuanhua porcelain bowls were placed in front of him. His conjecture was verified, "Lin Jiang, you took an extra pair, there are only five people here."

"I didn't take much, and there is one who hasn't come." Lin Jiang smiled mysteriously, and just as he finished speaking, there was a light knock on the door, "Look, here it is."

Everyone looked at the gate together. Bai Ming knew that He Yan, who was about to be confessed by Lin Jiang, but who was still in the dark, came.

The woman who stepped into the house was tall and tall, her black hair was like a waterfall, her fair and flawless skin was like creamy fat, she was more beautiful than the full moon in the spring river full of flowers, her lips were thin, it seemed as if butterflies could fly out when she opened and closed, she was dressed in light purple The long dress almost dragged the floor, she was rippling with charm, and her makeup was gorgeous, obviously well-groomed.

Bai Ming secretly exclaimed, no wonder Lin Jiang only met this person once, so he made up his mind to confess his love.

He Yan's voice was sweet, and with every frown and smile, it seemed that time had slowed down.

"Aunt, uncle, here I come."

Everyone then stood up, and He Fang rushed over upon hearing the sound, grabbed her niece, and asked in surprise, "Why did Yan'er come here? Didn't even tell my aunt in advance."

He Yan smiled coquettishly, and said mischievously, "There will only be surprises if you don't say it in advance."

She looked around, sat down directly beside Lu Wu, and said, "Hello, Uncle, Team Lu is here too."

"Have you seen it?" Lin Jiang asked incredulously.

He Yan didn't turn her eyes away, stared at the man in front of her, and said, "I've seen it, my uncle's most proud apprentice. I used to go to see it when the Lu Corps was training."

For some unknown reason, the scene suddenly became depressing.

Yang Zhong winked at his niece, and then introduced: "This is Bai Ming, Lin Jiang's college roommate and Lu Wu's colleague."

"Are you Bai Ming?" He Yan was taken aback for a moment, and looked around curiously, as if she was looking at a commodity, "How are you?"

Contrary to the generous He Yan, Bai Ming was very reserved. After hearing He Yan's words, he replied doubtfully, "You know me?"

"I don't know." Lu Wu replied coldly, as if the iceberg was floating out of the water again.

The delicate atmosphere made Yang Zhong break into a cold sweat. He hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "I guess we met each other from watching the news. My niece likes to watch the news. Come on, stop standing and sit down." Let's eat, eat."

The arrangement of the seats is also peculiar, with six people sitting around a round table, Bai Ming is sandwiched by Yang He and his wife, Lin Jiang is next to He Fang, Lu Wu is next to Yang Zhong, and the person sitting between Lin Jiang and Lu Wu is He Yan.

In other words, Bai Ming and this girl are face to face.

He looked around for a week, and noticed that except for Lu Wu's expressionless face, everyone seemed to be satisfied with the seating arrangement, only he himself was not comfortable.

Before the dinner started, the master and the apprentice had already drunk five cups, and their cheeks were flushed. Everyone knew that if they continued to drink like this, they would get drunk.

The table is full of rich dishes, all of which are tender and refreshing, with good color and taste, but Bai Ming has no appetite. He always finds it difficult to let go of his face in front of strangers, so he has no choice but to listen to everyone's chat, Add a few vegetable leaves and chew carefully.

Lin Jiangdao: "Professor He, when will school start this year?"

He Fang said: "It will open soon, isn't September coming soon? Don't tell me, this teacher doesn't want to start school more than the students."

He Yan said: "That's true, aunt should take advantage of these last few days to rest well."

Yang Zhongdao: "Come on, it's not enough to have winter and summer vacations. You see, our industry is exposed to wind and sun, how can we have vacations?"

He Fang said: "You old man, how can you say that you have to raise an argument? You are almost retired, and you can enjoy the blessings in the future. I will work hard for another year or two, and I will quit."

Lin Jiangdao: "Professor, are you going to retire?"

He Fang said: "Yes, I am old, and I will reach retirement age next year. In the future, this society will still have to be carried by you young people."

He Yan said: "My aunt looks young, so don't worry about picking up jobs. I think Team Lu will take over well."

Yang Zhongdao: "I don't even look at whose apprentice it is."

I don't know if Lu Wu is really hungry, or if he is used to being a policeman, he is like a glutton, gobbling it up, and when everyone has eaten a few mouthfuls, the rice in his bowl is about to run out. When it comes to him, he won't look up until he finishes eating.

Lu Wu wiped off the grease from the corner of his mouth with a piece of paper, and replied, "Master taught me well."

He Yan is an outgoing person, she can guide all the topics, and half of the topics can be turned to Lu Wu, which makes him feel irritable, so he can only eat with food, and Lin Jiang is like a cross talk They were in charge of following He Yan to adjust the atmosphere, and the two of them chatted with each other, always making everyone laugh.

Bai Ming smiled dryly without saying a word.

Yang Zhong spotted the child who had been pushed aside, caught a glimpse of the almost untouched rice in his bowl, and asked with special concern: "Bai Ming, isn't the food palatable?"

It was the first time Lu Wu stopped his chopsticks and looked over.

Bai Ming shook his head vigorously, and said again and again: "No, no, I usually eat so much, I'm already, already full."

He himself didn't believe this random lie.

"The courts are notoriously busy. Can you bear it if you eat so little? Look at your arms and waist, they are too thin." He Fang put down her chopsticks, asked with concern, and held them Bai Ming's wrist.

But after holding it for two seconds, Bai Ming hastily retracted. Under everyone's gaze, he stuffed another small mouthful of rice into his mouth, "Yes, yes, I'm really full. Thank you Professor, thank you Uncle Zhong."

"You should eat more." He Fang sighed, and glanced at other people's bowls, only to see that Lu Wu's bowl was clean, so she got up and prepared to take the empty bowl, "Come on, Lu Wu, you have a big appetite, I'll get you another bowl."

Lu Wu blocked it with his hand, and the next action surprised everyone.

He stood up, stretched out his arms, lifted Bai Ming's bowl, then poured more than half of the rice into his own bowl, and said, "I don't need to serve new ones, I can just eat the little assistant's."

This move was beyond everyone's expectations, even Bai Ming was dumbfounded.

After finishing speaking, Lu Wu put the remaining sip of rice back in front of Bai Ming, and said softly like a breeze passing through water, with ripples instead of ripples, "You can eat some more dishes, this fish is delicious."

Shocked, Bai Ming stood up, wanting to snatch the bowl containing his leftovers, "Don't, don't, Officer Lu, you want a new bowl."

He Fang also quickly stopped and said, "Yes, Lu Wu, I'll serve you another bowl, there's still plenty of hot rice."

Lu Wu didn't give anyone a chance, grabbed the bowl and started it again, and said: "No, don't waste the food."

This obsession dispelled everyone's desire to stop him, and his shame grew more and more shameless. He blushed and kept pinching the two chopsticks between his fingers. Embarrassment swept over the building like a tidal wave. self-esteem town.

Everyone looked at each other silently for a long time.

He Yan looked at the person opposite, with a trace of contempt flashing in her eyes, she said calmly, "You really have a good relationship with Captain Lu."

Before Bai Ming could answer, Lu Wu said firmly without raising his head, "Yes."

The author has something to say:

I want to explain to my little angel:

There are also some little angels who may feel that it is thunderous to eat leftovers, which will be explained later in the spring rolls——

The humble author is afraid that the few readers will run away after reading this chapter...

35. Small talk

The dinner ended amidst the sound of conversation, but just as Lin Jiang put down his chopsticks, he tricked He Yan into going downstairs to fetch something together on the grounds that he forgot to take something.

He Yan was happy with the meal, but after Lu Wu robbed her of the meal, her mood gradually became depressed. Fortunately, Lin Jiang chatted with her, so she agreed.

Bai Ming rolled up his sleeves, motioning to help He Fang clean up the kitchen waste, but He Fang was unwilling, thinking that he was a guest and should have a good rest, but Bai Ming seemed to have made up his mind, pushed and pushed He Fang away, and finally persuaded He Fang, The two walked into the kitchen together, and only the police master and apprentice were left in the restaurant to continue drinking and talking.

"Bai Ming, I'm sorry, this meal didn't satisfy you. If you're not full, there are still some snacks on the table. You can add some more."

He Fang put the clean dishes into the sink, turned on the faucet, frowned, and said worriedly.

Bai Ming smiled like a white crescent moon, "Professor, don't worry, I'm really full, thank you for your hospitality."

He poured the uneaten leftovers into the garbage bag, and passed the bowl into the sink. He Fang picked up the dishcloth and rinsed the plate. The two cooperated together like this, and the speed was not slow.

It's getting late, it's time to ask something serious, Bai Ming pulled out the bag, tied the knot again, and said straight to the point: "Professor He, do you know Liu Ying?"

The topic suddenly changed, and He Fang was stunned for two seconds. Although she was puzzled, she still answered seriously: "Yes, she is my student. She is the student who has impressed me the most besides Lin Jiang since I have taught so many classes."

Bai Ming asked doubtfully again: "Then do you know that she was killed?"

He Fang nodded in response, "It was the Canglan Road case five years ago, right?"

It seemed that there was something going on, and Bai Ming breathed a sigh of relief, so he stopped being cautious and said frankly: "In your eyes, what kind of person is Liu Ying?"

He Fang pondered for a moment, then stopped what she was doing, and the dishcloth fell into the bowl. The water flow mixed with the oil, washing the blue and white porcelain dish recklessly, like adding two strokes of ink to a master's painting.

"Liu Ying is a very good student. She has good grades and is easy to learn. She knows a lot. The class I teach is ancient architecture. Liu Ying is the best in every exam. No.2 is a lot of points."

She picked up the dishcloth again and scrubbed it vigorously, "To tell the truth, just a few hours before she was killed, she came to my office to ask me a question about a construction building. What happened after cutting corners? In order to make up for problems such as improvement, I am only a teacher of ancient architecture after all, and the questions she asked still have to be based on on-site inspections, so I can’t answer them.”

He Fang raised her eyes and recalled the situation of that day, "At that time, two murders happened one after another on Canglan Road near our school. I reminded her to pay attention to safety, be careful, and bypass it if she can. People go that way, she just nodded and didn't say anything."

The lingering sunlight in the afternoon fell on the stove, and the water droplets in the bowl were also illuminated crystal-clearly. Bai Ming was bathed in the warm sun, dressed in brilliance, and listened quietly.

"But I saw fear in her eyes, and her body was still trembling slightly. At that time, I thought her reaction was normal. After all, two people were killed and the murderer was on the run. The teachers and students in our school were panicked, but after she was killed , I realized later, that look is different from ordinary people, she seems to realize that she will die, she should be signaling to me, or asking me for help."

She sighed deeply, and her tone was full of self-blame, "If I can patiently answer that question, maybe I can keep her for a while longer, maybe she won't be brutally killed on the way home. "

Bai Ming was silent. Fate is sometimes like this. All chances and coincidences have brought about today's results.

He comforted him and said, "Professor He, you don't need to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. No good person needs to pay for the bad results of the bad guy. It's not your fault, it's only the criminal."

He Fang raised her head lightly, and the light caressed her eyebrows and eyes, like a few bright lights falling into the abyss, swallowed by the darkness.

Looking at this scene, Bai Ming felt a little confused, perhaps it is so devastated when every truth has not really emerged.

After tidying up, he washed his hands, put down his sleeves, followed He Fang into the kitchen, and saw that Lu Wu had already buried his head on the round table in the dining room, motionless and unresponsive, and Yang Zhong was also blushing. His eyes were blank, and he kept giggling.

The wine was spilled all over the table, and the wine cup was tilted to this side. Judging by the posture, the wine was almost non-stop.

"How much did you drink? You can't control the amount!" He Fang was so angry that she pulled out the rag and reprimanded her in a bad temper.

Yang Zhong hiccupped, patted Lu Wu on the back, and said triumphantly: "This silly boy is so naive, I fooled him into saying that if he didn't finish his work, I would ask Bai Ming to drink for him, but every time I drank, he Even after drinking two glasses, we just divided the wine, and this is the police, so easy to be deceived, look, it's shameful to be so drunk."

The smell of alcohol was overwhelming, Bai Ming set up the wine cup, and moved the empty bottle of wine to the ground.

He Fang gave Yang Zhong a blank look, flicked the rag, wiped the table brightly, and complained: "Just let you drink a little, who told you to drink all of it? Doesn't it hurt your health? You can drink it in half a coffin yourself." Forget it, why did you drink so much while pulling Lu Wu?"

Yang Zhong didn't reply, he just pointed to the study room, beckoning and said: "Help him to lie down in the room, he won't be able to leave for a while."

As soon as Bai Ming got close to Lu Wu, he was coughed repeatedly by the pungent alcohol smell. He and He Fang each held an arm and lifted his body lying on the table.

Lu Wu's cheeks were flushed, perhaps it was a functional reaction of the body, and the veins on his arms were bulging.

On the contrary, his legs were limp, like a ball of cotton, trembling, unable to exert any strength.

He was unconscious, his eyes were closed tightly, and his brows were furrowed. It must be because his stomach was overwhelmed and he felt uncomfortable.

It took a lot of effort for Bai Ming to pull him onto the guest bed in the study. He was out of breath, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. After walking out of the room, he sat back facing Yang Zhong.

"Old man, stay with Bai Ming for a while, I'll go to another room and lie down for half an hour." After He Fang finished speaking, she turned and walked into the bedroom.

Yang Zhong pointed to the wife who entered the room, and said helplessly: "She is like this, she has to sleep for a while at noon, don't mind."

"No, no..." Bai Ming laughed a few times, thinking of Lu Wu's painful face, he guessed that Yang Zhong felt the same way, so he stood up again, poured a glass of warm water, added some honey and rock sugar on the table, Slowly passed it on the table, "Uncle Zhong, drink some of this, it will make you feel better."

"What a good boy." Yang Zhong held up the water glass, blew on the cooling air, and took a sip. The heat and sweetness of the water were just right. Once it entered his throat, it was like rain after a long drought, washing away the sourness of the residual wine Son, he couldn't help exhaling comfortably.

There were only two people on the table, which was even more embarrassing than when six people were eating. At this moment, there was no sound other than the snoring from the study. Bai Ming licked his lips, looked at the table restlessly, and put his hands together under the table. Pinching his fingers, he nodded and lowered his eyebrows, feeling ashamed.

Yang Zhong broke the long-lost silence, "You are from Baihe Town, right?"

Bai Ming was startled, raised his eyes and said, "That's right, how did Uncle Zhong know?"

"I know it's more than that..." Yang Zhong smiled triumphantly again, as if he regarded Bai Ming as a relative, "When it comes to Baihe Town, I feel very aggrieved. I have been a police officer for more than 30 years. Almost all the cases that fell into my hands were solved, except for one unsolved case, which was like a pimple on the back, itching so much that I wanted to scratch it but couldn't."

"Baihe has a case too?" Bai Ming kept rummaging through his childhood memories, but he was too young at that time to remember anything, and his parents were both doing small local tourism business, so how could he have heard of criminal cases? ?

"To be precise, it's Jiangzhou's case, but it's just related to Yangjing and Baihe..."

Yang Zhong patted his leg and complained about his incompetence, "It was a child trafficking case that traveled across provinces 13 years ago. A total of seven children were missing, one was found, and the whereabouts of six are still unknown. The last time that gang showed up was five years ago, and they have disappeared since then, as if they have evaporated from the world, without any clues."

He lowered his head and said dejectedly, "One of the parents is still traveling far and wide looking for it. Their family savings are almost exhausted, but they don't give up. They are still looking around for the whereabouts of their son Gao Ping."

Bai Ming felt a tug in his heart when he heard this, and felt a slight pain in his compassionate heart.

"This kidnapping case has become the biggest unsolved case in Jiangzhou, and it has also become a thorn in my heart. Although I have the name of the detachment leader, I will retire soon. All the burdens now fall on Lu Wu I only hope that in my lifetime, I can see with my own eyes that Lu Wu led the criminal police team and successfully cracked this case."

This is the first time Bai Ming heard about this case. He sighed and said, "Officer Lu must be under a lot of pressure."

Yang Zhong's voice was slightly hoarse. He drank the honey water in one gulp, cleared his throat and said, "If he had a partner to share the burden with him in the past, now he is left alone, and the pressure will naturally not be small. .”

partner?

Bai Ming thought to himself,
