Afternoon, Harbin.
Today is January 8th, Sunday.
Everyone has asked for leave until the 15th.
This afternoon, personnel from the Fujing Police Station arrived in Arong County, took Jiang Baolin out of the detention center, and returned to Beijing overnight. The policemen from Fujing Police Station were somewhat speechless because their superiors were urging them to do the job. This was truly a tough job and they couldn't spare a single minute of rest throughout the entire day.
…
At the same time, Bai Song planned to take everyone out to play for a few days before going back.
Logically speaking, the past seven days and seven nights have been counted as overtime, so it is reasonable and logical to take two days off.
However, Bai Song never expected that when everyone got off the Harbin High-Speed Railway Station, they would actually see Xin Qiao and Ma Ningning!
Xinqiao was wearing a long white down jacket, a pair of brown wool boots, and holding a large paper bag in her hand. Ma Ningning simply wrapped herself up like a dumpling.
"Why are you here!" Bai Song was suddenly surprised.
"Come and congratulate you, Section Chief Bai has returned victoriously and solved a big case," Xinqiao said with a smile.
"That's impossible," Bai Song scratched his head and looked at his fellow junior brothers and sisters, then he realized what was going on.
"Brother, this is the gift from all your fellow students," Yang Lu said, "We have been thinking about it for a long time, and this should be the best gift."
"Ha," Bai Song wanted to say thank you, but at this moment his IQ had begun to decline: "Not bad, not bad."
"Not bad, you bastard." Xin Qiao was a little angry and punched Bai Song, then handed the bag to Bai Song: "They said that Harbin's red sausage is delicious. I also bought some sauces and heated them up for you and put them in the thermos. You must not have eaten much on the way, so try it."
Bai Song was so moved that he quickly took it and opened a thermos bucket. The braised pork elbows and ribs inside were steaming. The smell attracted everyone's attention within a radius of 20 meters.
"Let's play separately these days," Bai Song made the decision immediately.
"Let's divide this first, and then we can talk about playing separately," Wang Liang immediately refused.
"Uh..." Bai Song looked at Wang Di and drooled. He sighed and said, "Okay, let's eat together."
…
This season is the peak tourist season in Harbin, and it is the time for the annual ice sculpture festival.
To be precise, it is called the International Ice and Snow Festival.
It’s too late today, let’s find a place to rest first. It gets dark too early in winter, it’s dark at around four or five in the evening. We found a nice local restaurant and ate together with the meat that Xinqiao bought.
While eating, they almost started a live broadcast in Yang Lu’s classmates group. Everyone was in a good mood these two days.
…
Speaking of which, these few days are really suitable for traveling. There is still about a week left before the winter vacation, and New Year's Day has passed, so there are not so many people.
The team of five people became seven people, and there was laughter all the way.
The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival was truly spectacular. When Bai Song went there to play the next day, he couldn’t help but post a circle of friends.
It’s too cold outside, so I can only take pictures, and I can only post to Moments inside. Bai Song's phone is better, he changed to a domestic one. Xinqiao's phone is an Apple phone, which shuts down as soon as the cold wind blows.
So, the task of taking photos was given to Bai Song.
Bai Song's photography skills are very poor, but fortunately Xinqiao has a good foundation. Plus, he was wearing a thick down jacket with a hood, so his face didn't look big in the photos, so the photos he took were barely usable.
In the rest room, Bai Song rarely posted on his Moments. After thinking about it, he blocked all his colleagues in Beijing first, otherwise the private messages would surely flood him.
"Will you still post on WeChat Moments?" After more than ten minutes, Xinqiao's phone warmed up, turned on the phone, and saw Bai Song's WeChat Moments.
"Yes, it is really spectacular. This scene makes me want to recite a poem." Bai Song said.
"You talk and I want to listen." Xinqiao looked at Bai Song with a half-smile.
"The scenery of the north is covered with ice for thousands of miles, and thousands of miles..."
"Did you write this?" Xinqiao interrupted quickly.
"How is that possible? I was just reciting it." Bai Song said, "Let me write a poem... hehe..."
"I don't count on you..." Xinqiao thought for a moment, "It's amazing that people like you can write a textbook."
"I still have to write a novel!" Bai Song said, "Just wait, I've been planning for a long time now, I will definitely write a novel in the future!"
"If someone could read the novel you wrote..." Xinqiao wanted to make a bet, but suddenly found that there was nothing to bet on.
"For every 100 people watching, give birth to a child for him," Wang Liang interjected.
"Sure!" Bai Song responded quickly and looked at Wang Liang with gratitude on his face. What a good brother.
"You big head ghost," Xinqiao kicked Bai Song directly and said, "If you want to have children, do it yourself. I don't care even if you give birth to 50."
Wang Liang admired the strength and accuracy of Xinqiao's kick and nodded secretly. This time he finally got his revenge! (Chapter 1100)
Bai Song looked aggrieved. It was Wang Liang who was asking for death, so why did he kick him...
However, Bai Song couldn't figure out this kind of thing. He understood everything after taking a look at Wang Liang. Wow, this is so cruel to lure the snake into the hole and kill someone with a borrowed knife!
Bai Song couldn't analyze other things, but he understood Wang Liang thoroughly. Bai Song secretly remembered this.
…
While chatting, Bai Song received a call from Senior Brother Cheng Shuqi.
He drank too much in Arong County the night before yesterday. When he left the next day, Bai Song sent a message, but he had a very good impression of Captain Cheng. This was Bai Song's senior from Class 1997, who was about 40 years old this year. He was definitely a complete ** and had solved countless major cases over the years.
As mentioned before, the head of the criminal police department of any county bureau is definitely not a pushover.
"You guys didn't leave Harbin? Didn't you say the day before yesterday that you would rush back to Beijing early?" Cheng Shuqi saw Bai Song's circle of friends and said, "I just happened to come to Harbin today to do a B-ultrasound to check my liver. The doctor said there's nothing wrong!"
"I was originally going to leave, but my wife and Captain Wang's wife came here. They had been chasing this guy named Jiang for a long time, so they decided to come and see the ice and snow in Harbin." Bai Song explained.
"Haha, that's good, this place is great, Harbin is much more fun than Arong County," said Captain Cheng, "There are quite a few of your senior brothers in the provincial department here, are you free? I'll set up a party!"
"Goodbye, goodbye," Bai Song was afraid, "I have four girls with me, I can't drink."
In fact, Bai Song knew what his senior brother meant. If Bai Song were to have dinner here today, it would definitely be a great honor for Captain Cheng. In the future, Cheng Shuqi would also be able to gain a lot of face in Harbin. After all, Bai Song's current identity is special and he has a bright future.
Even in the Police Academy, there are very few people who are at the deputy division level at the age of 26. Those who are promoted faster than their police rank adjustment speed are definitely not bragging.
For example, one bar and three flowers, which means first-class superintendent, is a rank of police inspector. Even if you do not hold any position at all, you will automatically reach this rank in seven years. If you want to be faster than 7 years, you must reach the level of section chief within 7 years, so that the police rank can catch up with your speed.
Cheng Shuqi is already 39 years old and his police rank is also two bars and two ranks, the same as Bai Song, but he is a regular officer. Although he is considered a relatively high-ranking leader in the county, it is still a county after all.
When I went to handle a case the day before yesterday, Captain Cheng helped me from beginning to end. Not to mention the welcoming ceremony, he also quickly handled the admission procedures to the detention center. Bai Song should be grateful for all of this. He had been at the grassroots level, and entering a detention center was not as easy as one imagined.
"If you can't drink, then don't drink. I understand. I understand..." Team Leader Cheng said, "How about this? We don't invite outsiders. We can just invite two or three people from our school in the hall who are in the same department as you. We can all bring our families and try the local specialties!"
"Then I'd better obey your command respectfully," Bai Song said, "There are seven of us here. Sorry to bother you."
"Hey, Chief Bai, you must be kidding me!" Cheng Shuqi was very happy: "Wait, I'll send you the address right away."
…
After hanging up the phone, Bai Song said to Xin Qiao with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm sorry to refuse. Not only did he help us in Arong County, he also treated us to a meal."
"It's okay, I'll go with you too." Although Xin Qiao had just kicked Bai Song, she was still very sensible. She knew that Bai Song didn't like to attend such dinners. If Bai Song really wanted to drink, she could still take care of him if she went there - she couldn't always let Bai Song's junior sister take care of him, she would not feel at ease.
"Where is Ningning?" Bai Song looked at Wang Liang.
"Ningning," Wang Liang had a toothache. He had just been joking, but he knew that Ningning and Xinqiao were not the same kind of people. If Ningning was taken to such a thing, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Wang Liang like this, Bai Song felt relieved, and the hatred he had just held was reduced by a little.
"If Ningning doesn't go, I will accompany her," Xinqiao interjected.
"She..." Wang Liang said, "I'll go ask her."
Then, Wang Liang ran away happily to ask his wife for advice on this matter.
In fact, Wang Liang still blamed Ma Ningning wrongly. She has grown a lot. When she heard about this matter and asked Xinqiao about her attitude, she agreed without hesitation.
This kind of dinner party where everyone brings their families usually happens when everyone is very familiar with each other. But since they are all brothers and sisters in the same school, it doesn’t matter. They will become familiar with each other after having a meal.
"My dad also worked in an ordinary position at first. When my mom was invited to dinner parties, she didn't like to go," Xinqiao watched Wang Liang leave. "Later, he was transferred to a confidential position. My mom couldn't go to dinner parties even if she wanted to."
"I'll stay with you longer." Bai Song finally showed his intelligence for a while, and said while holding Xinqiao's hand.
Although he had promised his senior brother, that was for dinner, and he still had to eat by himself at noon. Bai Song knew that there would be heavy dishes at night, so he took everyone to eat something light at noon, but he still felt unsatisfied after eating half of it.
At this temperature, you really can't bear it without eating some solid food. The down jacket is just to keep out the cold on the outside, you also need energy to support yourself inside.
After ordering some high-calorie meat dishes, Bai Song understood why the economy here has been going downhill in recent years. Just this winter, how much heating bill can you save by going to Sanhai City!
Not only that, the temperature difference from inside to outside and from outside to inside can easily make people unbearable. Coupled with a high-calorie, high-fat diet, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is high.
Of course, these are things that permanent residents need to consider. Tourists who come to play don’t have to worry too much, as everyone is here to experience life.
It is extremely difficult to survive in the northernmost desert city, as well as in the plateaus and desert areas of the northwest and southwest, but it is quite nice to experience life there, after all, that's what life is like.
After eating here, I took a stroll in the afternoon and felt that I had burned off most of the calories.
…
Among the three provincial capitals in Northeast China, Harbin, Changchun and Shenyang are all sub-provincial cities, and Harbin is the northernmost.
Many people think that all provincial capitals are sub-provincial level, which is wrong. The provincial capitals of Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Changhe, Changkun, Taining, Lashahu, etc. are all prefecture-level cities. Three of the ten sub-provincial capital cities are located in the three northeastern provinces, which shows their economic strength at that time.
Team Cheng arranged for us to have a meal in the evening. We found a very quiet place, a rectangular room with two tables, separate for men and women, but the dishes were the same.
Knowing that there were several female relatives, no one smoked today, which made Bai Song very happy because he was worried about this.
The winter in Northeast China is very cold and the windows are closed tightly. If one person smokes, the whole house will be filled with the smell of smoke. Now, in order not to upset Bai Song, these people have all stopped smoking.
The food was okay, with a wide variety, including butcher's dishes, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork, etc., each one more delicious than the last. In order to take care of the ladies, a few more vegetarian dishes were ordered, but at the table of Bai Song and others, there was not a single vegetarian dish.
They all graduated from the same school and got to know each other after just a few words. Among them were classmates of Senior Brother Liu Zhe and someone who had the same teacher as Bai Song.
As they chatted, they turned to the case and some anecdotes.
When talking about Harbin, there is one case that cannot be avoided. It is a case that has become famous all over the world, the case of the cat-faced old lady. (Don’t look up photos online if you are faint-hearted, remember)
If they talked about other things, Bai Song might not be interested, but when talking about this, he was no longer sleepy.
Not only this table, but the ladies at the other table were also full of interest.
Since there were three family members of police officers at the girls' table, all of whom were born and raised in Harbin, when they heard about the case, all three of them had a say and immediately started talking one after another, even more excited than the people at Bai Song's table.
Bai Song was listening to Director Sun at one table while also listening to a lady at another table. The more he listened, the more confused and mysterious it became.
This side is conducting an objective analysis, while over there is a whole supernatural incident, and Bai Song himself is confused.
What is this?
I was listening to the stories from both sides with difficulty. The situation changed very quickly. Both sides were no longer a united front. People on both sides had disagreements and felt that what the other side mentioned was not right. Especially the ladies' table. The three women were putting on a show and were about to start singing.
The situation was getting more and more difficult to control. Bai Song had never expected this to happen. At this time, Director Sun, who was the most senior and oldest official here, interrupted the person at the next table and said, "My statement is relatively accurate. There is a master in our team who personally experienced that case."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. They wanted to hear this most credible "second-hand news", compared to other people's news which were all three or five hundred times more reliable.
