Chapter 020 The Twentieth Melon
It was almost dusk when Gu Xicao returned home. She was worried that Lin Yuan would make a fuss at home alone, and she came back a little late today, so she went straight home after getting off the car.
But when the elevator door opened, Mrs. Lin and others who were playing cards at the door told her: "Xiao Gu, you have guests at home."
"There is a guest, who is it?" Gu Xicao asked curiously.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "You'll know when you go there. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. I went out for something today and came back late." Gu Xicao walked towards home while chatting with Mrs. Lin and others.
The guest at home had already heard the noise and stuck his head out. When he saw Gu Xicao, he smiled and said, "Master Gu."
"Officer Lin, Officer Sun, why are you here?"
Gu Xicao was stunned for a moment, and was even more surprised when she saw that Lin Jianyi was still wearing an apron.
Lin Jianyi was a little embarrassed and pulled his apron: "Nothing, Xiao Sun and I got off work and wanted to come over to thank you, so we bought some dishes, but you weren't at home."
"Sister, Brother Lin and his friends bought roast duck and boiled chicken, please come quickly." Lin Yuan walked out of the house and pulled Gu Xicao into the house.
A table was set up in the small space in the room, and the roast duck and boiled chicken were served on plates. Sun Zhaogan also opened a few bottles of Coke.
When Gu Xicao saw this situation, she felt a little surprised, but also a little surprised.
Lin Jianyi stir-fried a dish of water spinach.
Sun Zhaogan praised him highly and said, "Xiao Gu, you have to try it more often. Brother Yi's cooking skills are very good. It's not easy to eat his cooking."
"It's just a stir-fry. What's so special about it? Stop bragging for me."
Lin Jianyi touched his nose and invited Gu Xicao and Lin Yuan to eat.
Gu Xicao tasted a piece of water spinach and found that the cooking skills were indeed good. The dish was stir-fried to be crisp and tender, not overcooked at all, and still had the aroma of the wok. "Officer Lin, with this skill, would make a lot of money if he became a chef."
"I only know how to cook these home-cooked dishes. How can I be a chef?"
Seeing that Gu Xicao liked it, Lin Jianyi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a piece of boiled chicken for Lin Yuan, and then talked about business while eating, "The case of Master Bai has now been transferred to the serious crime team, but the confession has been prepared, and I believe there will be a result soon. If nothing unexpected happens, all of them will be sent to the electric chair!"
"That's great." Lin Yuan said happily: "Officer Lin, the landlord said that many babies' bodies were dug out from the Taoist temple. This kind of person is really a bad guy and should be sentenced to death."
When talking about those corpses, Sun Zhaogan's face became a little gloomy. He drank a sip of Coke and sighed: "It's a pity that those rich people can't be caught."
"What's going on?" Gu Xicao asked curiously.
Sun Zhaogan said: "It was those people who created those baby corpses..."
"Little Sun!" Lin Jianyi called out to Sun Zhaogan and used his eyes to stop him from continuing.
Gu Xicao showed a puzzled look on her face, "What's going on?"
Lin Jianyi pursed his lips and said, "Those rich people know our superiors, and many of them have connections with the Governor. The superiors have issued an order not to investigate those people."
Gu Xicao suddenly realized.
To be honest, she wasn't surprised at all.
Before the return, Hong Kong was a den of snakes and rats. Gu Xicao was very surprised that Master Bai and his disciples could be caught in one fell swoop this time.
"Chen Shazhan had no choice. Brother Yi and I couldn't stand this, so we ran back."
Sun Zhaogan drank the Coke in just a few gulps, as if he was drowning his sorrows: "I knew that we were corrupt inside, but I didn't expect it to be this corrupt!"
Lin Jianyi didn't say anything, his face looked depressed.
Gu Xicao looked at them. Lin Yuan was originally happy. After all, it was rare for their home to be so lively. There were guests and so many delicious dishes. It was even happier than the Chinese New Year.
But at this moment, Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan were so depressed that Lin Yuan felt that the boiled chicken and roast duck tasted much worse.
"Officer Lin, Officer Sun,"
Gu Xicao took a bite of rice, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Do you believe me?"
"I believe it, of course I do," Sun Zhaogan said with a laugh, "My mother said that my brother and I were lucky to meet a master like you, who helped us solve two cases in a row."
"If you believe me, then if I tell you that Hong Kong will be much better after the 1997 handover, the current corrupt police and collusion between government and business will gradually disappear,"
Gu Xicao had a determined look on his face. "And you policemen will all go from being cops in the eyes of the people to being friends of the citizens. Policemen who are capable of doing practical things will be given important positions, and those who are corrupt will be arrested. Do you still believe it?"
Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan were both stunned.
The current situation is that everyone knows that 97 will return, but many people do not understand the situation in the mainland and think that the situation will be worse after the return. After all, that is what some people promote.
Many people are trying their best to immigrate. Although Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan do not think that things will be so bad after the return, they do not know what the future will be like.
But when they saw Gu Xicao's determined and hopeful expression, Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan were somehow slightly touched.
"Okay, I believe you!" Lin Jianyi picked up the Coke. "Master Gu said this, it must be true. Let's toast to this day in the future!"
Sun Zhaogan came back to his senses and hurriedly picked up his Coke: "And me, if this day really comes, Master Gu, we will definitely send you a banner!"
"I want one, too." Seeing that everyone was happy, Lin Yuan also became happy and quickly picked up his Coke to clink glasses with others.
There was a clang sound.
At the moment of clinking glasses, Lin Jianyi secretly made up his mind.
No matter what, you must be a good policeman. If the Hong Kong police force is really so dark, then start with yourself and break this darkness!
After eating and drinking, Lin Yuan rushed to clean up the dishes, and Gu Xicao didn't refuse. Children of poor families have to grow up early. Even her original self helped with housework at the age of five or six.
"By the way, Master Gu, why didn't I see you in Temple Street today?"
Sun Zhaogan helped clear the table and asked casually.
Gu Xicao thought about what happened today, thought for a while, and shook his head and said, "Nothing, someone asked me to come to their house to tell fortunes, and the matter was a bit complicated, so I was delayed for some time. I will continue to work in Temple Street tomorrow."
"That's good. Brother Yi and I were worried that something might have happened to you."
Sun Zhaogan felt relieved, and helped Lin Jianyi clean up the garbage before leaving.
Gu Xicao sent them to the elevator door and then came back. She gained a lot today. Cai Yongcheng was worthy of being the toy king. He was generous and gave them 500,000 directly.
Gu Xicao planned to keep the money and buy a house later. The current housing prices were too high, and any house would cost several million. Not only was it not cost-effective, but it was also not safe for her and Xiaoyuan.
It would be better to continue living in Ziwei Building. The neighbors here are all familiar with each other and will help to let me know if there is any trouble.
"Brother Yi, I think..."
After going downstairs, Sun Zhaogan's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Lin Jianyi put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "Want to go back to the police station?"
Sun Zhaogan blushed, but he quickly reacted, "Brother Yi, you want to go back too, right?"
"Yes, what Xiao Gu said just now has enlightened me," Lin Jianyi's eyes were firm, and the street lights illuminated his resolute face: "The darkness in the police force has not happened in a day or two. It would be naive for us to try to change it so quickly. As long as we don't give up, we will see light sooner or later!"
"good!"
Sun Zhaogan cheered excitedly, "Brother Yiqi, this is you! There is a story about Yugong moving mountains in elementary school textbooks. How can the two of us be more capable than Yugong? I don't believe that this black mountain can't be moved!"
The two returned to the police station chatting and laughing.
When the senior sister saw them coming back, she was surprised and hurriedly pulled them aside, "How dare you come back?!"
Sun Zhaogan smiled playfully, "Senior Sister, what's the matter?"
"What? You guys had a huge argument with Shazhan before you left. Shazhan Chen just scolded Brother Zhou and transferred him to guard the pond. Now he is alone in the office, talking to someone on the phone and scolding for a long time. We are so scared that none of us dare to leave work."
Senior Sister's words were half a complaint and half a reminder: "I'm not being nosy, Xiaolin, Xiaosun, you have made contributions, but you can't think too highly of yourself. Is it good for you to offend the Sergeant?"
"Got it, thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister."
After returning, Lin Jianyi thought things through and calmed down a lot.
He now felt a little regretful that he and Sun Zhaogan had quarreled with Chen Shazhan in front of everyone and embarrassed Chen Shazhan.
Thinking of this, Lin Jianyi pulled Sun Zhaogan and walked towards Chen Shazhan's office.
After knocking on the door, Chen Shazhan's impatient voice came from inside: "Come in, why are you knocking? If you break the door, you have to pay for it."
Lin Jianyi pushed open the door. Chen Shazhan was just taking out a pack of cigarettes. When he saw them, his face darkened. "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were disappointed with me and wanted to quit? Why, you came back to hand in your resignation letter?"
"Chen Shazhan, we are here to apologize."
Lin Jianyi pulled Sun Zhaogan in, closed the door, and took the initiative to help Chen Shazhan light the fire.
Chen Shazhan raised his eyebrows, took a puff of his cigarette, and leaned back. "Oh, the sun is rising from the west. Aren't our Brother Yiqi and Brother Sun going to play the role of Justice Bao and end all ties with me?"
How to say it?
You will have to pay for what you have done.
When Lin Jianyi, Sun Zhaogan and Chen Shazhan quarreled before, the words they said were as harsh as the current situation.
Sun Zhaogan said shamelessly: "Sergeant, you are the Justice Bao, and Brother Yi and I are at most the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced!"
"You bastard, you take me for the King of Hell!"
Chen Shazhan threw the cigarette towards Sun Zhaogan.
Sun Zhaogan grabbed it and said, "Thank you, Shazhan, for the cigarettes. Shazhan is really generous. He didn't bother with us and even gave us a pack of American cigarettes!"
Chen Shazhan was speechless at his shamelessness. He twitched the corners of his lips and looked much better. "Stop talking nonsense and get out of here to work. What the hell are the serious crime team? They are trying to steal my credit. When I was out there, they were still wearing crotchless pants."
"Sergeant, you got the case back?!"
Lin Jianyi was pleasantly surprised.
Chen Shazhan sneered, "Yeah, otherwise how can I be qualified to be a sergeant, right, brother Yiqi?"
Lin Jianyi: “…”
It is embarrassing to offend a leader who has a good memory and holds grudges.
Chen Shazhan felt relieved when he saw that the two of them were behaving themselves. He waved his hand and signaled them to get out.
Lin Jianyi and the other man knew that the matter was over, so they saluted and slipped out.
"How is it?"
Seeing Lin Jianyi and the other person come out, the senior sister and others surrounded them.
Sun Zhaogan made an OK gesture and said, "Sergeant Sergeant was very generous and didn't bother with us. Senior sister, why didn't you tell us that the case was recovered?"
"We didn't have time to tell you."
The senior sister said, "It's just right. I want to ask you something. There was a case at the Taipingding Police Station this afternoon. I heard that Master Gu helped the Toy King find his biological son. Are you familiar with this matter?"
Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan were both stunned.
Sun Zhaogan was surprised and said, "The Toy King has found his son?!"
"Yes, the TV station just reported it, how come you didn't know?" Senior Sister asked in confusion: "I thought you had a good relationship with Master Gu, and I wanted to find out the inside story. I heard that it was the toy king's sister-in-law who lost the child and killed someone. My husband said that the Pingding Police Station had to work overtime to dig up the body tonight!"
This senior sister’s husband works at the Taipingding Police Station, so the news is quite credible.
Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan were both shocked.
Sun Zhaogan touched his chin and said, "We asked Xiao Gu just now, and she just said that she had something to do outside. I didn't expect it to be such a big thing. Xiao Gu is really humble."
Lin Jianyi also admired Gu Xicao more and more. The toy king's son had been missing for more than 20 years, and he had even placed an advertisement in the newspaper looking for clues. However, no one was found in more than 20 years. Everyone thought that the child was either dead or sold to another place.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Gu could actually help find the person.
