crime profiler in the dark

At this moment, Bai Haolin was still working overtime in the office. He had just finished finishing the newly written psychological evaluation report when his cell phone rang.Although it was an unfamiliar number, Bai Haolin had already guessed who it was, and he answered it reluctantly:

"Hey?"

"Honey, why haven't you come over? Everyone is waiting for you to eat, huh? In a meeting?" Lu Wanyu's voice came from the receiver, "It's the case on January 1! There are still 21 minutes to go." Right? Okay, we'll wait for you." She directed and acted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Bai Haolin closed the flip of the phone and couldn't help sneering. It seems that Lu Wanyu arranged a banquet for him to meet her family. Of course, the main purpose was to introduce his new identity to Lu Yaming.

Although he was very upset, Bai Haolin knew that now was not the time to turn against her.

Near eight o'clock, Bai Haolin arrived at the back door of the humble house, which was the inner courtyard where the Lu family lived.A maid who had been waiting on the side quickly greeted her:

"Mr. Bai, right? Missy has been waiting for you for a long time."

Through the hazy orange light from the lantern on the gate, you can clearly see the word "Lu Fu" written on the gate. The carved lintel, the knee-high threshold and the pair of big stone lions in front of the gate all make people solemn.

The layout of the Lu family's inner courtyard is simple but elegant. After entering the door, you will see a Chinese-style courtyard with a stone table in the middle and a two-meter-high rockery at the left rear. Behind the rockery is a long courtyard that goes straight to the inner courtyard.

With a heavy heart, Bai Haolin followed the maid through a long corridor to the main hall.

The maid gently opened the door and said, "Miss, Mr. Bai is here."

There is a screen on the opposite side of the main hall, but you can't see the scene inside, only Lu Wanyu came out from behind the screen with a sultry tone:

"Haolin, you've finally come. We've been waiting for you for a long time." She said, pulling him forward.

In the center of the main hall, there is a small round table filled with dishes covered by gold plates.Sitting on the upper seat was an old lady with silver hair, elegant clothes, extraordinary bearing, and calm and prestige. It seemed that this was the grandma of Lu Wanyu and Lu Yaming.On the left was Lu Yaming, who watched Lu Wanyu walk in affectionately holding Bai Haolin's hand, her face was pale, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

"Grandma, he is the one I mentioned to you, Bai Haolin." Lu Wanyu asked Bai Haolin to sit next to her, and introduced.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Aside from the grievances of the Lu family sisters, Bai Haolin felt a little sorry for making the old lady with white hair wait for him for an hour for dinner.

"Let's eat." Grandma Lu didn't say anything, she winked at the maid next to her, and the maid stepped forward to uncover the golden cover. Appearing at this family banquet - this is the treatment that only honored guests can enjoy.

The Lu family is very particular about eating, and they are not allowed to speak while eating. They even use two pairs of chopsticks. One pair is specially used for holding vegetables, and the other pair of chopsticks is used for food after the vegetables are placed in the bowl.

The meal was so boring that Bai Haolin didn't even know why Lu Wanyu insisted on asking him to come. During the dinner, his eyes collided with Lu Yaming many times, but he looked away apologetically. After eating two bites in a hurry, he put down the bowl and chopsticks.

After the meal, the table was quickly removed and replaced with refreshments.

"Little sister, you are still our matchmaker!" Lu Wanyu said with a smile, "It's rare for our family to get together like this, why don't you make tea for us!"

Before Lu Yaming could speak, a maid came in with a tea set.

"I..." Lu Yaming looked at Bai Haolin with tears in his eyes.

"Oh, little girl, did you feel wronged by making a cup of tea for your future brother-in-law? Why are you crying?" Lu Wanyu was upset, "Grandma, Yaming's gift is not very good, Haolin is also a guest after all, how can he take it?" Show your face to the guests?"

"Yaming, pour tea." Grandma Lu's voice was not loud, but there was an irresistible majesty.

Lu Yaming had no choice but to obey. She first turned on the electric kettle and poured in the specially prepared mountain spring water. After the water boiled, she put the tea utensils in the tea tray and scalded them with boiling water first.
