Chapter 70 Chapter 70 I'm a driving genius!

The pale silver moonlight cast a smooth shadow on Lu Zheng's profile. His pupils were as dark as ink, and a cluster of invisible fire seemed to be hidden deep inside.

Ji Yinhe stared at the cake, raised his fork, scooped off a large piece of cream and put it into his mouth.

After savoring it for several seconds, he raised his arm, his cheeks puffed out as he opened his mouth. "My wish this year is to perfect my driving skills! To become the most enjoyable driver in the area!"

"..." Lu Zheng lowered his eyes and chuckled after a few seconds, "Okay, my Daqie will accompany you to the end."

"Teacher Lu, you're so kind!" Xiao Ji praised sincerely, holding up the paper box. "I sincerely invite you to have cake with me... By the way, I don't even know when your birthday is!"

"December." Lu Zheng politely held a small piece of cream in his mouth and answered in a deep voice.

Ji Yinhe blinked. "Ah, so you lived in Jiangtan? Why didn't you tell us?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back and have a good rest. I'll take you to practice driving this weekend!"

"Oh——" Ji Yinhe responded, skipped down the stairs, and put the previous question behind him.

Although it was just a casual remark, Lu Zheng is definitely not someone who goes back on his word.

Early on Saturday morning, he called Ji Yinhe's dormitory.

He was already waiting downstairs with his car, just waiting for her to get up and go to the busiest city center to practice driving.

Ji Yinhe got into the passenger seat confusedly and ate the breakfast Lu Zheng brought her. Then he asked in confusion, "Why go to the city center to practice... Shouldn't we find a deserted area in the suburbs?"

Lu Zheng smiled as he turned the steering wheel. "I ran into Director Rao at the Public Security University last month and chatted for a while... I heard you drove so hard in Jiangtan that Xiao Wu vomited."

"..." Comrade Xiao Ji recalled the embarrassing incident when he was chasing the stolen national treasure in Shuangdun Town. He scratched his nose and said, "How could Director Rao even tell you such a trivial matter..."

"Because your colleagues in Jiangtan are all concerned about you," Lu Zheng replied calmly, "So I think, compared to long-distance training, perhaps you need..."

"Well, to deal with complex road conditions, learn to control your speed..." Ji Yinhe sighed and touched his chest, "I understand, I understand..."

Lu Zheng comforted her, "You are so smart, driving is definitely not a problem for you."

"Of course!" Comrade Xiao Ji straightened his back in the busy traffic. "I'm a driving genius!"

…

The first month since I arrived at the provincial department passed quietly in the intense work of solving cases and living a happy life.

As the spring breeze warmed up, Ji Yinhe investigated several more homicide cases.

She has a quick mind, good skills, a sweet mouth and is hardworking. Her relationship with Tan Li, Zhao Zhuoqun, Guan Ye and Sun Gaoge is getting better and better.

Even Lu Xiaoyan and Jiang Nian, who had less contact with her, treated her differently.

In a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, Xiao Ji plunged into the vast sea of ​​cases. Even in her free time when there were no cases, she made plans for herself:

Either he would practice driving with Lu Zheng, or go to the shooting range to shoot, or simply carry a water bottle and steamed buns and spend more than ten hours in the file room, sorting out and summarizing all kinds of bizarre cases.

When she looked up from her busy work, she found that the plum rain was passing by outside the window, the temperature was rising sharply, the spring flowers were withering, the shade of the trees was dark green, and the chirping of cicadas had quietly reached her ears.

Ji Yinhe suddenly realized that a whole year had passed since he graduated from the Handong Provincial Police College and became a real criminal policeman!

This day was a big day, and the provincial department had always had a tradition of celebration. In addition, there had not been a formal dinner since the formation of the crackdown team.

Tan Li and Zhao Zhuoqun paid for the meal out of their own pockets and took everyone to a high-end hotel in Jingzhou, where a table full of delicious dishes was served.

Ji Yinhe grew up eating delicious food made by Lian Qiao, but he couldn't tell what the chef's cooking skills were.

In order not to spoil the fun of his leader and master, Comrade Ji kept nodding and praising, toasting one glass after another and making toasts, and he imitated Ji Jianguo's smooth and official tone perfectly.

But she has such a lovely face and speaks so sweetly, which only makes everyone think she is so cute!

Even Lu Zheng, who was sitting a few seats away, couldn't help but smile at Ji Yinhe.

That night, Comrade Xiao Ji, who was slightly drunk, was driven back to the dormitory by Team Leader Tan himself.

Before getting off the car, he told her that she had nothing to do tomorrow and could have a good rest and didn't need to go to work.

So under the influence of alcohol, she slept for a long time and dreamed of the past that was buried deep in her memory.

Time goes back to more than ten years ago - Ji Yinhe, who had just turned eight years old, was standing in the small park on the corner of Meiqingyuan Street, playing house with the little sister Wu Sijia from the neighborhood.

They met a stray orange cat on the roadside, built a beautiful kitten house for it with sand and bricks, and named it Little Sun.

Supplies were scarce back then, and neither of them dared to tell their parents. Wu Sijia used old clothes from home to make a mattress for Xiao Yangtai. Ji Yinhe, knowing cats were carnivores, got a lot of fish, shrimp, and milk from Lianqiao, chopped them up, mixed them with water, and fed them to the cat.

They spent a whole happy summer with Little Sun, and agreed to take turns bringing food and water to the cat after school started.

However, one evening in autumn, Ji Yinhe suddenly discovered that the little sun was missing!

She took the can of cat food that Lian Qiao had helped her make and searched for the orange figure in the small park for a long time, but she still couldn't find it. She could only put down the food and water and go home in a state of anxiety.

The next morning, Ji Jianguo woke her up with a worried look on his face and told her softly—

"There's a little orange cat at the door that got hit by a car. It looks a bit like... a little sun."

Ji Yinhe was stunned for two seconds, then he jumped out of bed and ran downstairs in his pajamas and slippers.

In the middle of the road, Little Sun lay there silently, with a pool of blood under him, and he had been crushed.

Ji Jianguo rushed over and saw his daughter's tears falling like beads. He immediately understood what was going on.

He said nothing, only soothingly, "I'll bury its body later, do you want to join me?"

Ji Yinhe nodded and squatted there motionless until Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao came down with a shovel and a cardboard box.

The family of three buried Little Sun next to the cat house in the small park.

Although he was comforted by his parents, Ji Yinhe was still depressed for the whole day.

It was not until the evening that I remembered that I should tell Wu Sijia about this.

Telephones were not yet popular at that time. After school, Xiao Ji ran straight to his little sister's house and banged on her security door.

However, unexpectedly, no one answered in the house, and Wu Sijia's classmates said that she had not been to school for two days.

Ji Yinhe was very confused - where did the Wu family go?

It wasn’t until half a month later that the answer was revealed:

A police car brought the haggard Wu couple back. Amidst the helpless looks on the police's faces, the two cried and supported each other as they walked home.

Wu Sijia never appeared in Meiqingyuan again.

The couple quickly packed their luggage and left Jiangtan.

Ji Yinhe got a general idea from the neighbors' gossip and the information Ji Jianguo got from the street office.

——It turned out that the night before Xiao Taiyang’s accident, Wu Sijia disappeared!

According to the school teacher, after school, she rode her bicycle alone, carrying her schoolbag, and left the school gate.

Since then, he has completely disappeared!

The Wu couple went to the police station to report the case early the next morning. They waited for half a month but still received no news about their daughter.

Where did Wu Sijia go? What happened on the way home from school?

No one can explain it clearly.

Looking at Xiao Taiyang’s grave, the cat house built with Wu Sijia, the couple who left this sad city in despair, and the empty house they left behind.

For the first time, little Ji Yinhe understood what loss and sadness meant.

She stood alone in the small park that was once filled with laughter and joy, and secretly made a vow:

When she grows up, she must find out the whereabouts of Wu Sijia!

…

"bite--!"

The wind chimes hanging in front of the window were blown by the warm breeze in the early morning. Ji Yinhe opened his eyes and suddenly woke up from his dream. He sat on the bed, hugged the quilt, and stared at the sky outside for a while.

I haven’t dreamed of Wu Sijia for a long time... This was her original intention of applying to the police academy to catch bad guys!

Now that she has arrived at the provincial department, she thinks she might as well make use of the resources here to inquire about relevant information.

But so many years have passed, and I'm afraid the hope of finding Wu Sijia is very slim...

Ji Yinhe held his chin and sighed, climbed down from the bed, changed his clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Tan Li told her not to go to work today. Comrade Xiao Ji originally planned to read a book, but her mind was still extremely upset because of the dream.

After thinking about it, she simply put the book aside and called Comrade Lao Ji who was far away in Jiangtan.

"Dad, do you still remember the missing Wu Sijia?"

Ji Jianguo's voice came calmly from the receiver, "I remember, what's wrong?"

"Did Uncle Wu and Auntie ever return to Jiangtan?"

"Yes," Ji Jianguo said. "Every quarter, I go back to the police station and the neighborhood office to inquire about Wu Sijia's situation... It's really sad. They're not even fifty yet, and both of them have white hair."

"Okay..." Ji Yinhe sighed regretfully, "I dreamed about Sister Sijia and... Little Sun last night. Tomorrow I'll go to the Provincial Department Museum to check the files and see if I can find any relevant information about the case."

"Well, it's good that you have such a heart." Ji Jianguo interrupted, "I'm accompanying your mother to test a new dish, and the fire is about to burn. Let's not talk about it unless it's serious!"

"Okay, okay!" Comrade Xiao Ji put down the microphone obediently.

On the other end of the phone, Ji Jianguo was sitting at the table, looking into the eyes of Lian Qiao who was sitting on the sofa.

The atmosphere was very depressing.

In fact, they were not experimenting with new dishes, but had just returned from the hospital.

——After the Su Yiyun human trafficking case came to an end, Ding Tongguang from "The Lost Sister of the 1970s Comes Back" unexpectedly developed an admiration for Gong Xie, the male lead of "River City Storm, Industry is King".

After following Ding Tongguang for several months, Ji Jianguo discovered that he had gone crazy and was sent to the psychiatric department of the First Hospital of the city for treatment by his family.

During this period, Gong He came to visit and express condolences on behalf of his father, and he had a car accident on the way back to Jinghu Villa!

Fortunately, he only had a minor scratch. But these coincidences made Ji Jianguo feel suspicious.

He couldn't hide it any longer, so he told Lian Qiao about the situation.

Lian Qiao immediately decided to go to the hospital for a checkup early in the morning when no one was around.

In the original book, Ding Tongguang was handsome and elegant, and both the real and fake daughters Su Yue and Su Yiyun truly fell in love with him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he looked decadent and dispirited, and couldn't even speak clearly.

Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao stood there sighing for a while, thinking that this might be just a coincidence.

However, when they came out of the ward, they were shocked to find that there was another character who appeared in the Green River Era novel in the emergency room opposite!

That was the high school teacher, Lao Peng, who had coveted Su Yue.

At this moment, Old Peng was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and a thick bandage on his chest.

Lian Qiao walked over quietly and asked the nurse at the station about the patient's condition.

"What could it be? He got fucked!" The nurse shook her head. "Shameless old man, flirting with a female student, and her father is seeking revenge!"

Lian Qiao's mind suddenly flashed, and he asked the name of the attacker.

"Hmm... I think his name is Qian Tao," the nurse said uncertainly. "That's what I heard too. He's the second-in-command at the mine!"

The nurses' station was quiet for two seconds. Ji Jianguo held his breath and pulled Lian Qiao aside.

"Qian Tao... is a random character in my book, Long Ao Tianwen. Before I came here, I happened to see that chapter where Gong Chenggong planned to acquire the mine... I remember it clearly, there's no way I'm wrong! Why is it that when people from two worlds intersect, there are always casualties..."

There were people coming and going here. Lian Qiao looked around and took her husband's hand, "Let's go back and talk."

The two confused people returned home from the hospital and talked for a long time but couldn't find anything.

If this world brings disaster to those who intersect with it, why didn't they encounter any accidents?

...Could it be that it has something to do with their identities as book travelers?

However, Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao were not too worried about themselves at the moment.

After all, in today's world, the person born from the union of two book travelers is the most special one.

...Ji Yinhe, will he be hurt by this?
