I don't know if it's because of the hot bath, or something triggered it, or the night survey work stimulated my brain too much, or maybe it's because I had too much fun during the day...
Anyway, Jiayi fell on the soft and spacious bed, enjoying this space alone, but she couldn't fall asleep.
The moonlight fell on the ground, as if it was a layer of white frost carpet.
When I raised my head, I could see the ripples on the ceiling, which were the reflections of the water in the swimming pool.
I got up, put on my clothes, wrapped myself in a windbreaker, found my notebook and pen in my bag, and quietly walked out of the room, stepped out of the villa, and sat down on the sun lounger by the swimming pool.
I turned on the small light in the pavilion, opened the notebook, took a sip of hot water, and looked out at the city and bay scenery below. With my mind broadened by the scenery, I scribbled down my chaotic thoughts in the notebook.
Brother Yue's villa is so comfortable. It's like a top-notch holiday environment.
It turns out that there are people who can live in this kind of environment on a daily basis.
I bought a notebook during my first vacation after joining the company, and now I have filled more than half of it.
There are clues in each case, my daily insights and notes, and notes taken when studying.
When I read it again, the past events are vivid in my mind.
I still remember when I first came here, I found that I lived in an old man's house that was so crowded that the empty space was full of clutter and looked like it had been lived in for decades.
She slept on the upper and lower bunks with her sister. If she turned over, she would fall to the ground. If she took a step, she would bump into the desk.
She didn't have hundreds or thousands of pocket money. Above her was a big brother who got up early and worked late and was sucked dry by the whole family. Below her were two hungry younger siblings. The job she had to do was not a simple job that could be easily mastered, but a clerk in a police station... She was really in the dark at that time and wished she could die again.
She was so scared when facing a completely unfamiliar environment. At that time, she felt that the postgraduate entrance examination and the civil service examination were not so scary.
Then, she tried to observe her big brother and younger siblings, read the diary of her previous life, read the memory of her previous life, and adapted carefully.
Gradually opened her heart and tried to integrate.
The first time I read files and organized them with Sister Yin, the first time I slacked off and drank tea with Sister Yin...
At that time, even Sister Yin often called her by the wrong name, calling her "Jia Qian" or "Jia Hui" and so on. When everyone in the police station saw her, those who knew her would smile at her, while those who didn't would just pass by and ignore a little girl like her.
When Sister Yin attended a police station meeting with the uniformed police, the superior could grab her, the most inconspicuous person in the whole room, and call her to serve tea and water.
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed, and it is hard to believe that so much has happened and so many changes have taken place during this period of time.
She is still that little girl, but she is no longer the girl she used to be.
Now when walking in the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, those who can call her name and those who can't call her name will nod and greet her when they meet her. Some young uniformed police and civilian police officers would even call her "officer" or "madam". Those who
seemed very distant before, such as Fang Shazhan, Inspector Qiu, and Superintendent Huang, also remembered her name, and admired her, praised her, and awarded her medals.
The proud detectives of Group B also gradually showed their recognition of her.
Sometimes, Jiayi would even forget how unruly wild horses Sanfu and his men were, and that Sir Fang was an iron-faced judge that everyone would want to avoid when they met him at the gate of the police station.
The way everyone treated her was slowly changing, and in fact, it was her status and personal situation that were changing.
People who didn't even know what detectives did all day when they first came here have already worked on so many cases with CID detectives. In recent cases, Brother Yue will also try to let her show leadership and coordination skills.
Oh, that's right.
Their family also moved from a run-down old community to a Nordic boutique community, from a small house to a large flat, and lived in a nice house with bright windows.
The customer flow of Yi Ji, run by her eldest brother, is getting higher and higher, and she also has savings.
With her chin on the small table, Jiayi turned her head and looked at the bay. The clouds came and went, and the sea was sprinkled with silver light, sparkling and beautiful.
She took a deep breath, her eyebrows stretched, and her whole body relaxed.
I don't know where the original Yi Jiayi went, whether she went to her own body in the future.
In that prosperous future world, she can see a different mainland and have a wealthy life. If she inherited the memory of her body, Jiayi should be able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination smoothly, right?
Maybe... can she get along well with her parents?
A child who grew up in the Yi family is more considerate and open-minded. Maybe she has already won over her parents and even her classmates and friends.
Hmm... if that little girl learns to play Switch, will she enter Animal Crossing to take care of her little animals? A short but cool bass squirrel Lightning, a little bear Meiling with dreamy colors, and a workplace elite cat Jack who likes to wear glasses...
Jiayi tilted her head to drink a sip of water, and twice touched her short hair that was messed up when she was tossing on the bed.
Pulling her thoughts back to reality, she turned to the end of the notebook, which recorded the additions and subtractions. The 1.1 million and several thousand Hong Kong dollars at the back were her current savings.
She missed the great development of Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s, and the 1990s was already the heyday of Hong Kong's economy.
Although buying a house now is much cheaper than in later generations, it is still far behind the good times in the 1970s when you could buy a big house or a prosperous shop for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
So what can you buy with this money in your hand?
Jiayi sat for a while and started to scribble on the notebook again.
Yi Ji is a storefront that they rented on an annual basis. Including the kitchen and the small warehouse where Sun Xin lives, it is about 28 square meters in total, which is about the size of two bedchambers.
It is located on Ivy Street in Sham Shui Po, close to the more prosperous Yau Ma Tei in the south and Mong Kok in the east. It is also not far from the particularly prosperous pedestrian streets in the north of Sham Shui Po, so it is a very good central area.
Even if Sham Shui Po becomes older in the future, the area of Ivy Street and Fuk Chuen Street is still considered a very good shop location. It cannot be compared with the super prosperous shops in Causeway Bay that cost tens of millions of yuan per square meter, but at least it is a shop location that she can dream of with her current economic level.
The shop front of Yi Kee was not as valuable as it is now, after all, the park next to it was not completed and the city development was not yet saturated, but the asking price was as high as 1.7 million Hong Kong dollars!
Because it was expensive, it was never sold, and the landlady continued to rent it to them to run Yi Kee Ice House.
Jia Yi calculated and thought that if she really wanted to buy it, she could bargain with the landlady and get a cheaper price. Maybe she could buy it for just over a million dollars?
Then... they can have their own shop, which can be decorated and planned, and maybe they can expand it.
If they buy the shop of Yi Ji, and continue to make money and save money, they can consider buying a house.
The economic crisis around 1997 was a good opportunity.
And after 1997, if conditions permit, they may be able to buy a house in the mainland.
If you make money in Hong Kong and buy a villa in the mainland, you will make a fortune!
Wow... my heart is excited and my hands are shaking.
But considering that I work in Hong Kong and my family is also in Hong Kong, it seems that I can't leave. If
I have money in my hands, I still have to consider buying a property in Hong Kong first.
Ah, Brother Yue’s villa would probably cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars now. It’s so expensive.
She would have to have 100 Ye Yongqians standing in front of her to be her target before she could afford it.
Even a small house in Sham Shui Po would cost several million.
If she really wanted to buy a house faster, she would have to go to Shatin in the north or Tseung Kwan O in the east. But the location is too remote and she can only buy a small house of a few dozen square meters.
It’s far from the school in Sham Shui Po and the Yau Ma Tei Police Station. If she wants to appreciate the value, it will be too slow. And if she spends all the money and continues to pay the monthly mortgage, it will affect her current quality of life.
Now that they finally have some money, they don't have to wear patched clothes or eat steamed buns and leftovers. The whole family can change into new clothes in season, and they can often go out to eat good food, which also relieves the pressure on the eldest brother.
Money can't be spent casually, you have to calculate it carefully.
Try to buy the most useful things with high appreciation value. At the same time, it can't affect the quality of life at present, after all, "eat well, drink well and be happy today" is also very important.
In the next few years, the price of housing will accelerate, until the economic crisis around 1997, many people immigrated and sold their houses, and the price of housing will fall sharply.
Now I live in the big flat of Gui'erzi Van. I can save money and wait for a few years. I can buy it when the time comes, as long as the bank interest rate can keep up with the rate of price increase.
After saving money for nearly 10 years, I wonder if I can get tens of millions?
If I can have that much money, can I buy a villa?
The mountaintop villa in the old wealthy area where Yue Ge lives is now worth tens of millions. No matter how much money she saves, it can't compare to the appreciation rate of the luxury villas that these early rich people bought by demarcating land. She still doesn't want to think about these.
Then you can consider the new wealthy areas that have developed later, such as Shek O Peninsula, Kowloon Tong where Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat and others live, and the Stanley luxury housing area where Miriam Yeung lives...
Jiayi remembers reading gossip in later generations that the Kowloon Tong villa bought by the big star Mr. Chow in the early 1990s was 14 million Hong Kong dollars. Around 2020, it is worth about 200 million Hong Kong dollars, a 20-fold increase.
Ah...
Jiayi buried her head in her desk and began to concentrate on calculating her salary.
After being promoted to senior police officer, the monthly income is 18,000 Hong Kong dollars. Add to that the rewards such as red envelopes for solving cases, which vary from month to month, and let's say 20,000 Hong Kong dollars per month. 12 months means 240,000 Hong Kong dollars per year.
I don't know how much money Shengsha Exhibition can make. Can Brother Yue get 30,000 or 40,000 Hong Kong dollars every month?
Puff your face, or don't live in a big villa, live in a big flat.
Like many big stars and emerging rich people later, buy the top floor of an apartment with a good view, with a jump floor and a rooftop balcony garden, isn't it the same height as the top of the mountain?
It should be much cheaper. If you buy it early, it will be about a few million. Maybe I can even look across the building from Mr. Ma, the former boss of Alibaba.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hold her chin in her hand and fell into a beautiful fantasy.
If she had a big house and a small car, she could live a life of "being the most courageous detective at work and the most enjoyable rich woman in life."
It's beautiful to think about it, eating, drinking and having fun, fighting on the battlefield.
She is so much like the heroine in martial arts novels, so desirable.
I have to work harder in the future, make money well, and save money well.
Thinking of this, she wrote down the words "criminal psychology" in the notebook.
In order to better exert her supernatural powers, she has to study criminal psychology, profiling and other contents in depth, and should also watch the relevant American dramas that can be seen now. These are virtual things, but they can bring out the energy of super powers and help solve cases.
On the other hand, there are many real things that need to be learned.
For example, the induction method that detectives often use in real life is actually commonly used, which is relative to the basic deduction method commonly used by detectives.
In subsequent actual combat, accumulate more experience and learn from everyone their methods and advantages of solving cases.
There are also physical weaknesses. You need to exercise your muscles and learn more self-defense techniques, grappling techniques, etc.
In the process of arresting, even if you can't compare with Qin Xiaolei, Yue Ge and other tough guys, at least you have to be more effective. To fight ordinary citizens and suspects, you must be able to fight.
You also have to be able to run. Sometimes you don't need to fight to catch a suspect. Having a gun is enough. But if you can't catch up with the suspect, you can't use the gun.
Yes, you also need to practice shooting diligently.
With this calculation, there is really a lot to learn, and this is not counting the vast amount of knowledge. After all, a truly excellent detective may need to draw inferences from one instance to another, and need a living computer and an encyclopedia.
After a long day of "daydreaming" in the courtyard of the mountaintop villa in the early morning, Jiayi finally felt sleepy.
After packing up her things, she returned to the guest room.
She crawled into the bed, wrapped in a new quilt, and found the most comfortable sleeping position. She closed her eyes and couldn't help sighing.
Living in a villa is so comfortable...
There are still many wonderful things in this world waiting for her to go, and Comrade Yi still needs to work hard.
...
...
Although she stayed up all night the day before, Jiayi still got up early the next day.
With expectations for the future, she went out for a run in high spirits, ready to work hard to strengthen her body and make up for all her weaknesses.
When she went out, Brother Yue was doing squat jump training on the steps of the yard: this is another hardworking
and introverted talent in the Serious Case B Team. Jiayi high-fived Brother Yue, expressing recognition and encouragement to each other, and then she ran away, facing the morning breeze on the mountain road.
When Jiayi came back from jogging, Fang Zhenyue had changed his position and was now hanging on a 2-meter-high horizontal bar by the swimming pool. But he was not doing pull-ups to train his upper limb muscles, he was just hanging there.
Jiayi stood by the door, raised her eyebrows curiously, and looked in the direction of Brother Yue's sight, only to find that he was hanging there, looking at a window in front of him.
The window was the large kitchen on the first floor of the villa, and her eldest brother Yi Jiadong was busy preparing breakfast inside.
Fang Zhenyue had a dull expression and a deep look in his eyes.
He looked like the frost-covered pine trees that Jiayi saw during her morning run.
Verdant and tall, but the entire tree's needles were holding dewdrops that would fall off when the wind blew, so he dared not move. He was afraid that any tiny tremor would startle thousands of dewdrops and turn them into a rustling rain of dew.
He carefully controlled his emotions and did not dare to move.
He blinked only once in a long time, as if he was looking at the scene in the kitchen, or as if he was looking through the building at a very far place.
Jiayi was a little unable to distinguish his emotions. There was no strong emotional reaction on Brother Yue's face, and he was even calm and quiet.
But she seemed to smell something that she dared not and could not bear to interrupt, so she stood at the door of the villa and stood still for a long time.
Until Jiaru came out of the room after washing up, bathed in the sunlight at the door of the villa, and shouted "Good morning, Brother Yue" in a high-spirited and crisp voice to greet Fang Zhenyue, which made Fang Zhenyue come back to his senses and jump off the horizontal bar.
Jiayi then opened the gate and walked into the villa yard.
At this time, Yi Jiajun also flashed out from behind Jiaru and greeted Fang Zhenyue happily: "Brother Yue, good morning~"
The boy who had not experienced the voice change period had an androgynous voice, but it also seemed high and warm, showing his respect for Fang Zhenyue, which was just right for the warm and bright morning sun today.
Fang Zhenyue took a deep breath, shed the inexplicable sense of sadness on his body, and smiled.
When Jiajun walked up to him, he pressed his big hand on Jiajun's head, then bent down, picked up the little boy, and lifted him up.
Jiajun shouted excitedly, raised his head and stretched his arms, and grabbed the 2-meter-high horizontal bar.
Fang Zhenyue lifted Jiajun up to do pull-ups. The young boy obviously had no muscles, but he also pretended to do the arm movements of the pull-ups, counting seriously, as if he really did it himself.
When Jiajun laughed and counted to '10', Fang Zhenyue put him back on the ground and patted his back with his big hand, "Let's go have breakfast." Jiaru
stood at the door of the villa with her arms crossed, basking in the sun while watching Fang Zhenyue playing with Jiajun. She turned her head and met her elder sister's eyes and couldn't help saying:
"Eldest sister, Mr. Fang is a good person. I don't know why, he feels like a father just like my elder brother."
Maybe it's because of his reliable temperament.
It seems that people's first impression of men comes from their fathers.
Responsible, reliable, strong, intelligent, and upright...
"Let's go and help big brother serve the dishes." Jiayi took her sister's hand and turned around, taking the opportunity to hide the turbulent light in her eyes.
