It was a sunny holiday, and it was also the day when Brother Yue and Madam Qiu returned to Hong Kong.

Everyone took two cars to the airport to pick up people. One car was Uncle Jiu's car, and the other was Jiayi driving the exclusive police car that Team B received as a gift. The novice driver who had just passed the driving test was not afraid of driving at all. He was undoubtedly a very brave new driver.

On the way through Hong Kong and straight to the airport, we happened to encounter a village near the airport holding a Dajiao activity.

Uncle Jiu said that this was an old custom that only happened once every few years or even decades, so everyone parked the car on the side of the road and looked out for a while.

The Dajiao activity was presided over by the Zhengyi Taoist priests, praying for peace and eliminating disasters.

Uncle Jiu held a small wooden stick in his mouth and told everyone about the festivals in Hong Kong, including the annual Tai Ping Qing Jiao in Cheung Chau, the Chu Tai Sin Jiao named after the gods, the An Long Qing Jiao held every 7 years in Ko Lau Wan or every 30 years in Jing Lan Shu...

Everyone listened to Uncle Jiu's talk for a while, looked at the big red cloth and red characters on the festival site, and the bustling crowd. Seeing that time was running out, they shouted:

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you delay any longer in the afternoon, Brother Yue and Madam Qiu will be home."

So they got back in the car, stepped on the accelerator with both feet, and competed with the plane.

Fortunately, they caught up with the plane and landed, and did not miss the scene of Fang Zhenyue and Qiu Susan walking out of the exit with their suitcases.

Liu Jiaming was busy holding up a sign that said "Welcome Hong Kong's most handsome Mr. Fang and Hong Kong's most beautiful Ms. Qiu to Hong Kong" and shouted, "Here! Here!"

Jiayi, the only lady, raised her eyebrows and presented two bouquets of flowers with a beaming face.

Qiu Sushan hugged Jiayi and said with a smile, "Wow, it's so impressive!"

"Of course." Jiayi nodded and said, "Go directly to Yiji? My eldest brother Yiji has prepared a welcoming banquet."

"That's a real treat. We are so hungry in the food desert!" Qiu Sushan laughed and agreed, turning around to say goodbye to the other group of colleagues. The smile on her face was too ostentatious, and it was obvious that she was showing off to others: Look! We are also going abroad for further studies, why don't you have good subordinates to pick us up at the airport?

She took Jiayi's hand and said happily:

"I really miss the roast goose, fried crab and the easy-to-remember drunken crab in my hometown."

It can be seen that Madam Qiu was really excited and happy when she landed in her hometown.

"Let's go, let's go and eat your delicacies!" The colleagues behind laughed, but they were already tempted by the dishes Qiu Sushan announced.

A group of people left the airport arrival gate with laughter, taking the excitement away.

Jiayi quietly left Qiu Sushan's side, and after getting close to Fang Zhenyue, she whispered: "Is the flower fragrant?"

"Did you choose it?" Fang Zhenyue raised his eyebrows.

"Of course." Jiayi nodded, "Those rough guys, how can they know how to choose flowers."

"Before you joined the team, I won the Top Ten Policemen Award once. The bad guys were so happy, saying that they were also honored, so they bought flowers for me. It happened to be autumn at that time, and the most gorgeous and beautiful flowers were in bloom. Guess what flower it was?" Fang Zhenyue told her the story while walking with his head down.

"What flower is it?" Jiayi was curious. She didn't know much about flowers and plants.

"Chrysanthemum!" Fang Zhenyue was still grinding his teeth when he thought about it now, "I was ridiculed by the police for a long time... After I stepped down, I kicked them all in the buttocks." "Hahaha

..." Jiayi couldn't help laughing. It sounded like something Liu Jiaming and the others would do.

Fang Zhenyue raised his lips and pushed the flowers in his hand into hers, "It's not appropriate for me to hold them, you hold them for me."

"Okay." Jiayi held them in her arms and turned around to ask, "Can I help Brother Yue insert them into Yiji or something like that?"

"Wow, Sister Eleven has a good plan, snatching Brother Yue's flowers." Liu Jiaming did not forget to turn around and tease.

"I didn't pass them over by myself, how can it be considered snatching?" Fang Zhenyue repeated the action of passing the flowers over, with clear logic, and severely refuted Liu Jiaming, the loser.

Jiayi raised her eyebrows proudly. Among the detectives in Team B, the one favored by Brother Yue the most is her junior sister.

The suitcase in his hand has been taken away by Sanfu. Fang Zhenyue put his empty hands into his trouser pockets and walked beside Yi Jiayi. He felt very comfortable in his heart.

He turned around and saw that she had grown into a sergeant, a mature police officer who could solve cases independently and was praised by Mr. Huang on the overseas phone as "knowing how to use people".

When they were together in private, everyone laughed and joked, but they often felt that she seemed to be still the good kid who had just joined the team, quietly arranged everything for everyone, and learned silently.

In more than half a year, many things have changed, and some things seem to have not changed at all.

While the people walking in front of him were not paying attention, he reached out and tapped her forehead. When she looked at him with her big eyes, he asked, "Did you get your driver's license?"

"Well, although I'm not as steady as Brother Yue, I'm also a driver who can drive on the road." Jiayi, holding flowers, followed Fang Zhenyue and started to show off before they even walked out of the airport:

"Brother Yue, although we solved the last case in less than 24 hours, it was actually very difficult.

"The murderer is so cruel that he killed his master and his wife..."

Jiayi exaggerated the murder of the Xianji couple, describing how difficult the case was, how cunning the murderer was, how miserable the victims were, and what the consequences would be if the case was not solved... She talked a lot.

Fang Zhenyue always lowered his eyes and listened carefully, nodding from time to time and responding twice.

He was obviously a brave and capable general who walked with a big sword and an axe like a hurricane, but now he walked slowly, like a scholar. Especially when he tilted his head and looked back at Jiayi intently, , the way he patiently coaxed the child, it was almost impossible to recognize who he was!

Liu Jiaming, who was walking in front, wanted to turn around and talk to Brother Yue, but he couldn't find Brother Yue the first time he turned around.

He thought that the elegant gentleman walking next to Jiayi was an airport service staff.

Look at Brother Yue's warm smile... Where is the tough guy in the past? Something

is wrong! It's very wrong!

He elbowed Sanfu beside him and pouted.

Sanfu held Liu Jiaming's head and whispered, "Go away and stop meddling in other people's business."

It turned out that everyone was walking in front with big strides and leaving those two behind, not unintentionally.

Everyone seemed to be leaving space for Brother Yue and Jiayi, allowing them to chat to their heart's content to comfort the separation of these days.

As for why they did this, no one discussed it. Everyone understood it tacitly, and brothers who had a tacit understanding probably didn't need much communication to do anything.

...

On the way back, Jiayi's small police car was replaced by Liu Jiaming, and Jiayi drove Yue's big jeep as she wished. It

was fast and majestic.

Although Gary, who was sitting in the car, was trembling with fear, he finally arrived at Yi Ji after trembling, and had a safe journey without any surprises.

The welcoming banquet was indeed full of delicacies from land and sea. Yi Jiadong seemed to have used all his skills. Liu Jiaming kept shouting that his own New Year banquet was not as rich as this.

When they were having a great time, everyone rushed to show off their glorious deeds in the previous case, looking so proud and happy.

Fang Zhenyue saw that Xu Shaowei seemed to be quite calm even though he was sitting in the crowd, so he took the initiative to ask him if Xu Shaowei had any impressive moments in the previous case.

Liu Jiaming interrupted and said that Xu Shaowei was good at chasing criminals and organizing documents, and he was a man of both literary and martial arts, and he was worthy of being the new brother chosen by Madam Qiu and Brother Yue.

Xu Shaowei covered his face in shame, and put his feet under the table and tucked into Liu Jiaming's chair legs, pleading in a low voice: "Stop talking!"

"You are so thin-skinned, you will suffer in the future." Uncle Jiu patted Xu Shaowei on the shoulder and said earnestly: "If you want to get ahead, you still have to be thick-skinned!"

Everyone laughed enough and brought the topic back to the case. Liu Jiaming wanted to talk about the danger of eating barbecued pork buns, but every time he was about to say the three words "barbecued pork buns", he would be interrupted by everyone.

But Brother Jiaming was really a persistent person. Even though his story was stumbling and intermittent, he still finished it completely.

Qiu Susan leaned back in her chair, sipping the wine in her hand while looking at Liu Jiaming who was standing at the table and talking.

Amid everyone's boasting, the last case was gradually described in full.

No matter how the detectives were playing at the moment, she could always smell the urgency and hardship when they were handling the case.

This was probably the group of police she had been guarding.

Sometimes they would make jokes without any sense of severity, sometimes they were extremely vulgar, and sometimes they were like children and made people speechless... But when it comes to work, everyone tries their best, and in the process, they can also get a sense of accomplishment. In

this career that everyone loves, no one is absent.

...

After Qiu Susan returned to Hong Kong, she soon entered the stage of closed-door intensive learning.

Fang Zhenyue received an order from Huang Sir to start selecting the most suitable CID agents from a pile of uniformed police files delivered to him in order to form a new investigation team.

Team B has no new cases for the time being. Jiayi leads the team to thoroughly investigate old cases while occasionally going to the prison with Tannen to draw portraits of the murderer.

Tannen, who has always been able to get the murderer's childhood story and life growth process out of his mouth, was turned away today.

The other party sat there, not saying a word throughout the whole process, as if he would resist to the end and never cooperate.

Before leaving, Tannen turned to look at Jiayi and consoled her:

"We often encounter situations like this... Don't we make such portraits so that we can identify the murderer faster during investigations? Then it is understandable that not every murderer is willing to cooperate with the police in making the murderer's portrait. They have been sentenced to death or will be imprisoned for the rest of their lives. It is normal for them to hate the police."

Jiayi, who was consoled, took the lead and looked into the eyes of expert T and smiled: "There may be other reasons why the murderer is unwilling to speak." "

?" Tannen's eyes widened instantly: Could it be that when interviewing the murderer, whether the other party is willing to cooperate with the police can also confirm some theories of criminal psychology?

Yi Jiayi really uses criminal psychology all the time, but she has not yet reached such a level of 'integration of man and sword'.

He was just admiring Jiayi, thinking that she could see the essence of things from any small things around her, which was really amazing.

But Jiayi replied:

"The murderer is called Qin Hongliang, the murderer in the B group case. I sent him in."

The reason why she was unwilling to speak was completely a personal grudge!

Qin Hongliang gritted his teeth when he saw her, how could he still chat with you and talk about the portrait of the murderer in criminal psychology!

"..." Tannen scratched his head helplessly, this... I really didn't expect it.

It was already late when Jiayi rushed back to the police station from the prison. When she returned to the office, she found flowers and afternoon tea on the desk.

She raised her eyebrows and turned her head to scan the surroundings. She saw Liu Jiaming and others were either looking up files on the computer, or sorting files, filing and labeling them for record.

Finally, Xu Shaowei raised his head from the report he was writing, and after looking at her for a few seconds, he understood her doubts and explained:

"Officer Fang ordered afternoon tea just now and asked Clara to bring it over. He said...he wanted to eat it himself and took us with him."

Jiayi drank a cup of iced coffee and leaned against the desk. She really missed her previous work life.

Sometimes I pursue promotion and want to change.

Sometimes I am greedy for the good life in my habit and don't want to change.

How great would it be if I could get a promotion and have afternoon tea treated by Brother Yue every day?

People are really talkative.

Just when I thought about this, the door of the inspector's office suddenly opened.

When she met Inspector Wagner's eyes, Jiayi felt guilty and embarrassed. It's not that she didn't like Inspector Wagner...

Just when she wanted to ask W Sir if he wanted a frappuccino, he clapped his hands and said solemnly:

"A body was found by a dock worker at Pier 3 of Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter. It seems that it was just washed ashore."

Jiayi was slightly startled, then put down the paper cup in her hand, and said to all the detectives in the office with a gloomy face:

"There is a case, let's go!"

December 7th is the big snow solar term. There

is a folk saying that "the light snow pickles vegetables, and the heavy snow pickles meat". On this day when Yi Jiadong took Clara to learn how to pickle salted goods, a body was picked ashore by a dock worker at low tide.

When the detectives arrived at the scene, they could see the body surrounded by the medical examiner and forensic colleagues from a distance through the cordon.

It was not a stretched body, but a body tied with ropes in a kneeling position.

As the sun sets, where the sky and the sea meet, blue lines intersect with the orange-yellow lines cast by the sunset, as if a blue dye vat and an orange-yellow dye vat collided. The two colors merged and invaded each other, gradually blending into light purple, and then gradually sinking into dark purple...

and the corpse knelt on the beach, facing the setting sun in the west, motionless, as if it was also enjoying the last sunlight of the day.
