Yi Ji plans to buy some alcoholic beverages before the New Year and fill up the counter behind the cashier counter.

On the one hand, people can have some liquor, beer, red wine and special drinks with their meals to meet their needs other than milk tea and other drinks.

On the other hand, they can also make more money and enrich the special taste and enjoyment brought by the combination.

But after Yi Jiadong and Jiayi discussed it, neither of them wanted to cooperate with a familiar merchant on a single product just to make money, because that would be too boring.

Eating is a great desire in life, and it must be interesting. Yi Jiadong also thinks that doing this business cannot only focus on money and saving effort, but also to explore some changes and fun from it. Therefore, the final decision was to try and screen in many aspects, and like the seasonal dishes such as the big crab and roasted pigeon, different drinks would be provided every month, so that some customers who come to eat and pay attention to enjoyment can taste drinks of various flavors and textures at Yiji.

In this small old-fashioned restaurant, customers should experience more bitterness, sweetness, sourness and sourness, and taste a variety of rare flavors nearby.

So, Yi Jiadong went to several partner offices and bought many famous beers, famous red wines, whiskeys, rums, etc. from various countries.

Of course, most of the prices are not very expensive, and the main ones are still the affordable ones with good taste. It can be consumed by high-end people such as the police superintendent and Mr. Cai Lan, and at the same time, neighbors who want to open up can also afford it.

In order to select the better ones from the many quality wines, Yi Jiadong began to mobilize everyone to help taste the wine, including the agents of Group B.

Of course, when delivering the wine to everyone, Jiayi would give special instructions not to drink before work. If you have to go to work the next day, don't drink too much the night before.

So, the agents finally found something meaningful and relaxing to do outside of work, that is, drinking for free, no, tasting wine for Yi Ji and producing appraisal reports.

Early in the morning, after the agents entered the office, they didn't talk about the cases that made people feel depressed, but what kind of wine did you taste last night and how did you feel?

In this way, the atmosphere in the office before the New Year was not bad.

Especially when the detectives from Group A and Group B met in the corridor, they could talk about wine together, and even the relationship outside the group became harmonious - Yi Jiadong also invited the detectives from Group A who often came to eat to help taste the wine.

Jiayi walked into the office and first collected everyone's feedback on various types of wine, and then after everyone took a deep breath and prepared themselves, they began to discuss work.

However, on the morning of the 23rd, Jiayi had a special mission. Before the

New Year every year, the police station would send some people to visit the families of the police officers who had been sacrificed, send some New Year's goods, and care for the relatives of the sacrificed colleagues.

"I have submitted a report to apply for participation this year, Shaowei, please go with me." Jiayi handed over this morning's work to Brother Sanfu, turned around and nodded to Xu Shaowei.

After the two left, Liu Jiaming, under the instructions of Sanfu, sorted out the historical data of the two unsolved shooting cases, and chatted idly:

"Yi Ji is getting better and better. Now it not only has its own basic signature menu, but also Chinese-style menus by special chefs, new seasonal dishes every season, and various new signature drinks. Even imported alcohol and drinks are about to be put on the shelves. Wow, Jiadong and Jiayi and their family are so good at business... I think in another year or two, Yi Ji will become a big restaurant."

"My family is just missing two brothers and sisters, otherwise we can do it too." Gary said.

"Ah, there are too many data. I have basically sorted out all the information. I feel like there is nothing missing..." Liu Jiaming couldn't help but complain and sighed:

"I envy Shaowei so much. He is the first agent brought by the Eleventh Sister Shengshazhan."

"The first one to be taught from scratch, the feelings are always different." Sanfu said calmly.

"I am still the Eleventh Sister's first Jiaming brother." Liu Jiaming muttered.

"Do your job, why are you talking so much nonsense." Uncle Jiu finally couldn't help but speak.

Liu Jiaming finally fell silent, but after a short silence, he raised his head and patted the table, attracting everyone's attention, and said with a smile:

"Even if you don't say it, you are actually jealous to death, right? Hahaha..."

Brother Jiaming's laughter gradually became perverted, and soon he was beaten by other detectives, turning into a series of "Hey, hey, hey!" "Did you get it right?" "A gentleman talks, not fights..." Howling.

...

...

Xu Shaowei followed Jiayi, took away rice and other New Year's goods from the mountain of supplies at the door of Sister Yin's office, and followed Jiayi downstairs.

Jiayi drove the exclusive police car that Group B received as a gift, asking for directions as she drove.

Xu Shaowei wanted to laugh at her for driving even though she didn't know the way. However, the atmosphere between them had been very tense in the past few days. Xu Shaowei knew that she didn't want to pay attention to him, so he pursed his lips and hid his rare cheerful mood.

After stumbling and driving for more than half an hour, the two finally arrived at the bottom of an old building in an ordinary community in Kowloon East.

Xu Shaowei followed Jia Yi and looked at the community and the stairwell. It was old, dilapidated, and there was no elevator. It was obvious that the family of the policeman who died in the line of duty was not living well.

The two knocked on the door several times, but no one answered. Instead, footsteps were heard behind them.

The man walked heavily. When he was about to arrive in front of him, he looked up and saw two policemen standing at the door. He smiled and greeted them: "Is it Yi Shazhan and Officer Xu from the Serious Crime Unit?"

"Who are you?" Jia Yi turned around and asked.

"I am Li Canjie's wife." The woman's silver hair was not dyed black, and her skin wrinkles were relaxed. Her age was written on her face, and she was probably close to 60.

When Xu Shaowei heard the three words "Li Canjie", his previously relaxed mood suddenly became solemn. He turned his head and looked at Yi Jiayi in disbelief. He saw that she was smiling and taking the things from Mrs. Li's hand. After Mrs. Li opened the door, she followed Mrs. Li in.

He frowned and followed in. When he turned around, he saw the photo placed in the middle of the altar by the door. It was the old policeman he was familiar with.

Jiayi put the things she brought with her and the things she helped Mrs. Li carry on the table. Mrs. Li warmly invited the two to sit down, and then took the fruits she had just bought to the kitchen to wash them. While washing, she said to the two people in the small living room:

"I just received a call saying that you were coming. There is nothing delicious at home, so I ran downstairs to buy some fruits. I don't know if you like them."

"It's too much trouble. We just came to see you." Jiayi stood by the table and looked around like Xu Shaowei.

Because the house was small, the accumulated chores over the years could no longer be stuffed into the cabinets and under the bed, but she was reluctant to throw them away, so she had to sort them out and put them in the corners of the living room, on top of the cabinets, etc., making this small and humble room full and even more bloated.

The small dining table had been used for too long, and one of its legs was broken, so it had to be padded with two bricks. The soles of the slippers placed at the door were all worn out, and the cloth at the heels had long been worn out, but it was not retired yet.

Xu Shaowei stood at the door with rice in his hand.

He turned his eyes, and Jiayi also looked over. The two people's eyes met in the dusty air of the shabby room, without words, but tacitly understood.

Mrs. Li flashed out of the kitchen with freshly washed fruits, and the already crowded living room seemed even more cramped.

Seeing Xu Shaowei still standing there, Mrs. Li hurriedly put the fruits on the table and pulled a chair for Xu Shaowei to sit. The young man then put the rice at the door and sat at the table with a sullen face, but he couldn't eat the apple that Mrs. Li handed to him.

The room was filled with a stale smell. Mrs. Li poured a cup of warm water for each of them, put some melon seeds she had just bought on the table, and then sat down. After she sat down, she wiped her wet hands on her clothes, and then raised her head and smiled at the two of them awkwardly.

Jiayi caught sight of Mrs. Li's cracked hands. Mrs. Li noticed her gaze and said embarrassedly, "I wash clothes for people occasionally, so I might be allergic to the detergent, or it might be damp or frozen. It's not a big deal."

"Are there any difficulties at home?" Jiayi's eyes fell on the photo frame on the small cabinet. Old Li had died in the line of duty for many years, but the family photo with him was still on it. There were

also a few other photos, including a little girl, a girl in her awkward period, and a girl who had grown up gracefully after the awkward period... That was a miniature of a girl's growth.

"It was very difficult in the past few years, but it was mainly because of my heart. In recent years, I have gotten used to it. It's hard to live like this. Now my daughter has grown up and will go to college next year. I will have an easier time then." Mrs. Li smiled and then warmly invited them:

"Have some fruit and melon seeds."

"Thank you." Jiayi smiled.

"No need to thank me. I should thank you for coming to see me." Mrs. Li rubbed her naturally curly hair twice. When her fingers pulled it, the hair became smooth. When her hands left, the hair curled back.

The three of them were chatting casually when the key rang at the door. Mrs. Li stood up quickly and said to the two with a smile: "The children are on vacation. I just went out to buy something." As soon as

she finished speaking, the door was opened and a young girl walked in. She called out "Mommy" and saw Jiayi and Xu Shaowei. She knew that they were the police who came to visit them, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. "Hello, two officers. I went out to buy ice cream and biscuits. Mommy said that you were coming and I had to buy some things to entertain you. I took advantage of your presence and bought my favorite food."

She was a very lively girl.

While she was talking, she had kicked off her leather shoes, put on her slippers with frayed edges, and walked half a step to the table. She enthusiastically handed the ice cream to Jiayi and Xu Shaowei, and spread the bag of biscuits on the table for the two to eat.

Without waiting for Mrs. Li to introduce them, the little girl pulled a stool and sat between Jiayi and Xu Shaowei. She looked at Xu Shaowei, smiled, and then fixed her eyes on Jiayi's face. She said happily:

"Yi Shazhan, I always see you in the newspapers. The newspapers don't take you well enough. You are so beautiful in person." "

Thank you." Jiayi took a bite of ice cream and smiled at the little girl.

"Really? Every time I read the newspaper, I told my mom that I want to be a policeman when I grow up. Mom always doesn't allow me, saying that being a policeman is too dangerous. Not everyone is as unlucky as Daddy and encounters a terrible criminal." The little girl also took an ice cream, tore off the paper wrapper, and ate it happily.

Xu Shaowei felt that Yi Jiayi cast her eyes on him when the little girl was talking. He turned his eyes away, lowered his head slightly, and avoided her gaze.

"Her name is Li Yuhe, she is always noisy, please don't be offended, officers." Mrs. Li sat opposite, although she said this, her eyes were full of love for her daughter.

"Just call me Ah He, my classmates also call me Da He, because I have a loud voice." Li Yuhe said innocently, and when she saw that Xu Shaowei didn't eat the ice cream, she leaned over the table and tilted her head and said, "Officer, why don't you eat it? It's delicious, this is the best ice cream near my home, I went there specially to buy it, you try it."

If she wanted to eat it, she had to wait for holidays, or when she got good test scores, got awards, etc., then her mother would buy it for her. Such good things must be shared.

"..." Xu Shaowei raised his head and smiled at her with difficulty.

But the little girl didn't let go, and kept nodding at him, trying to recommend it. Xu Shaowei had to say that he had eaten too much in the morning and now he couldn't eat anything.

Li Yuhe then sighed with regret for him.

"When Daddy just passed away, his friends used to come here every year before the New Year, but later they didn't come often." Li Yuhe is very outgoing and talkative. As soon as she entered the house, she seemed to come in with spring breeze and rain, full of vitality. "But every year there are police officers from the police force who come to bring some rice, nuts, and many delicious and useful things. We can save a lot of money and still have delicious food."

"Are your work and studies going well? Have you encountered any troubles?" Jiayi asked as usual.

Li Yuhe chuckled, "Are you embarrassed to come visit us? The police officers who came here in the past few years were also embarrassed. They would ask us how we were doing when they didn't know what to say, haha."

"Ah He!" Mrs. Li immediately stopped her daughter in anger.

Li Yuhe smiled embarrassedly, then said, "We are all fine. Now that we are on vacation, I can also do odd jobs to earn money. When I go to college next year, I can work part-time and earn more. There are no difficulties and no troubles."

The four chatted for a while. In fact, it was Li Yuhe who talked most of the time, from her interesting experiences in school to the lucky things she encountered with her mother. In short, she talked about everything happy, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

After Jiayi and Xu Shaowei said goodbye, Mrs. Li sent them to the stairs. Li Yuhe put on her shoes and followed them until they got in the car and left.

Jiali saw Li Yuhe still standing there in the rearview mirror, waving at them from time to time, with a sunny smile and a light figure, as if all the beautiful words could be used to describe her.

The child without a father went through her teenage years in a single-parent family that was gradually declining and impoverished. Without her father's sorrow, she could not hold back her steps. Even though she lived in a shabby room and wore torn shoes, she still smiled simply and purely.

The police drove into the avenue. Jiayi and Xu Shaowei did not speak to each other along the way. They were each silent in their own hearts. It was not

until the police car drove into the garage and turned off the engine that Jiayi suddenly said:

"I hid a wad of money under the fruit plate." "I saw it." Xu Shaowei said in a flat voice, as if he had no emotions. But his eyes and the atmosphere around him could not deceive people. "It's not terrible to make mistakes, but you have to admit it." Jiayi suddenly said. "..." Xu Shaowei blinked quickly and turned his head away.

"Turn yourself in."
