Chapter 220 You Want to Be My Sister-in-Law
In the old house, the program "Questioning the Heart" was playing on the TV in the living room.
When the host introduced Zhou Yi, Zhang Qiuxia excitedly shouted, "Zhou Jianguo, look, that's your son! Your son is on TV."
"Why are you yelling so loudly? I'm not blind, I can see."
Zhang Qiuxia turned her head and glared at him: "What's your attitude?"
Zhou Jianguo shifted his position and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you."
Ever since Zhou Yi told him that the steel mill might have layoffs, he has been worried and depressed for the past two days.
In addition, there was no news from my son for a while, and I was very worried. When I saw it on TV, I felt relieved.
"Knock knock knock", someone is knocking on the door.
"Zhou Jianguo, open the door."
Zhou Jianguo stood up, opened the door, and asked in surprise, "Zhou Yi?"
The person who walked in from outside was Zhou Yi.
Zhang Qiuxia turned her head and said, "Hey, son, aren't you on TV? Why is this..."
Zhou Yi glanced at the TV and said, "Oh, the programs are all recorded. They were finished in the afternoon."
"Have you eaten? Mom will cook some dumplings for you." Zhang Qiuxia stood up and said.
"Don't eat too much. I already had noodles this afternoon."
"Okay." Zhang Qiuxia happily went into the kitchen to busy herself.
"Grandpa." Zhou Yi took off his police hat and hung it on a nail on the wall, then walked over and shouted.
Sitting in a recliner, covered with a blanket, Zhou Ah Si held his eldest grandson's hand and asked, "Is the case settled?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yi nodded.
"Very good, very good." Grandpa pointed at Zhou Yi on TV and said, "You look much more energetic than when your father was young."
Zhou Jianguo curled his lips and said, "It's my seed after all."
Grandpa said: "Then I, your father and I, have good offspring. Without me, you wouldn't have come into being."
Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing. It turned out that personality is hereditary.
"Oh, by the way, Grandpa, Third Uncle called this afternoon. He's always concerned about you."
When the old man heard his youngest son calling, his ears perked up, but he still said stubbornly: "He can just take care of himself. He's so far away and there's no one at home to take care of him."
Zhou Yi smiled and said a few words to comfort him. This is the idea of the older generation. Their greatest hope is that their children can be filial to them.
But sometimes, in order to have a better life, many things are beyond our control.
Otherwise, as the economy develops, why would so many people leave their hometowns to work?
"Son, the dumplings are ready, come and eat them."
Zhang Qiuxia put a plate of dumplings on the table, then poured some vinegar, a little sesame oil, and some chili sauce into it.
As a mother, you know best what kind of food your son likes.
Zhou Yi sat down to eat dumplings. Seeing Zhang Qiuxia open the door and walk out, Zhou Jianguo asked, "What are you doing so late at night?"
"I'm going to visit some of their neighbors and see if they've watched my son on TV." The voice faded away as the door closed.
…
In the school's lecture hall, many people turned their eyes to Lu Xiaoshuang.
The last time Zhou Yi came to the school to see her, many people had seen Zhou Yi, but they only had an impression of him and might not remember him.
But as soon as Youyou said this, many people thought of it.
Suddenly everyone started talking at once.
"So that handsome guy that day was a policeman."
"I like police officers and soldiers the most. They are handsome and give me a sense of security."
"Is this Lu Xiaoshuang's brother?"
"No, didn't she say last time that it was her neighbor?"
"Isn't it your boyfriend?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like it."
The counselor shouted, "Quiet."
The sound slowly faded away, and everyone's gaze shifted away from Lu Xiaoshuang.
Lu Xiaoshuang stared blankly at Zhou Yi who was talking on TV. She didn't expect that what he said in the afternoon was actually true.
Looking at Zhou Yi, who was still eating the noodles he made in the afternoon, and now sitting in the TV program with an imposing manner, it feels very magical.
But Lu Xiaoshuang felt a little inexplicably worried, because Zhou Yi didn't want to reveal his identity as a policeman before, but neither she nor Zhou Yi had expected that it would be exposed in this way.
Moreover, on a university campus, if something happens, news will spread quickly.
For some reason, she felt a little worried.
"Xiao Shuang, does your neighbor have a girlfriend?" Youyou asked quietly.
"No, what's wrong?" Lu Xiaoshuang answered casually.
"I didn't think so last time, but now when I see him in his police uniform on TV, he looks pretty handsome."
Lu Xiaoshuang turned around and saw Youyou with a crazy look on her face. "You said we have such a good relationship, why don't you introduce your neighbor to me?"
"Huh?" Lu Xiaoshuang was dumbfounded. "Great, Mo Youyou, I treat you as a sister, and you actually want to be my sister-in-law."
"Good things should be kept within the family. I like the policeman too, hehe."
The forty-minute show ended quickly. When it was over, several girls came to Lu Xiaoshuang to ask about Zhou Yi.
In the end, they were all sent away by Youyou. On the way back to the dormitory, Youyou said with a smile: "Look, so many people are staring at your policeman brother. He is handsome, young and promising, and can even appear on TV. Instead of letting someone else snatch him away, you might as well introduce him to me. I will be your sister-in-law in the future. How great is that."
"You are so beautiful." Lu Xiaoshuang suddenly remembered that when she was having dinner at Zhou Yi's parents' house a few days ago, his cousin Zhao Min called her sister-in-law. Zhou Yi didn't explain, and her heart suddenly started pounding.
Youyou noticed that her face was red, and suddenly said, "Are you reluctant?"
As if her thoughts were seen through, Lu Xiaoshuang raised her fist to hit her to cover up her embarrassment.
Youyou dodged with a smile, then caught up with the roommate in front.
Just as Lu Xiaoshuang was about to chase after him, she heard someone calling her name.
"Student Lu Xiaoshuang."
When I looked back, I saw a short boy wearing glasses.
"This is the book I borrowed from you earlier. I'm returning it to you after I've finished reading it." The boy awkwardly handed over a professional book with both hands. "Thank you."
Lu Xiaoshuang remembered that the boy in front of her was a classmate in the same major, and his name seemed to be Zheng Jianxin.
She didn't have a deep impression of Zheng Jianxin. After all, there were relatively few male students in the finance major, and Zheng Jianxin was not good-looking and was rather taciturn.
The two had met because Lu Xiaoshuang had scored first in a professional course and her teacher had given her a professional book as a reward. It was only when Zheng Jianxin borrowed the book from her not long ago that she remembered him.
"Oh, okay, it's okay." Lu Xiaoshuang reached out to take the book with one hand and zipped up her schoolbag with the other.
Snap——
A letter fell out of the book and landed on the ground.
"What is this?" Lu Xiaoshuang bent down to pick it up and handed it to the other person. "Student Zheng, you dropped it, right?"
Zheng Jianxin blushed and lowered his head as he whispered, "This... is for you..."
Lu Xiaoshuang immediately understood what was going on.
"You can take a look at it when you go back." Zheng Jianxin said, turning around and leaving.
"Wait a minute." Lu Xiaoshuang shouted.
Zheng Jianxin looked up and found that Lu Xiaoshuang handed him the letter with both hands.
"Mr. Zheng, thank you very much for your concern for me, but..." Lu Xiaoshuang hesitated, and then said as if she had made up her mind, "I'm sorry, but I already have someone I like. So I can't accept your letter. I'm sorry."
After saying that, he stuffed the money into Zheng Jianxin's hand, then turned around and ran away.
Only Zheng Jianxin was left standing in the wind with a confused look on his face.
…
Zhou Yi did not return to the Ergang dormitory that night. After moving on Sunday, he had not had time to pack many things, so he slept on the sofa in the living room of the old house that night.
The next day, Zhou Yi returned to the bureau early, only to find out that Wu Yongcheng had not gone home all night and had been working all night to sort out the cases starting from Luohe one by one.
"Captain Wu, you're being too selfless. You're giving the chance to show off to others while you're doing the hard labor here all night."
The unshaven Wu Yongcheng stretched and said, "He is the leader, we should put ourselves in the right position."
"As expected, those who can become leaders have high awareness. I need to learn more from Captain Wu in the future."
"By the way, Zhou Yi, people from Ducheng and Luohe are coming this afternoon. Our case is so complex, they'll have to go through the formalities and verify the situation. You and Xiao Qiao will be there to receive them."
"Okay, Captain Wu. I also want to go to the hospital this morning to see Qian Lailai and Director Jin. Should I be able to make it in time?"
"It's still in time. Go ahead. Ferry City is closer, so we'll probably arrive around noon. Luohe won't arrive until at least after 2 p.m. So treat them well tonight. Don't be stingy. The bureau will reimburse you anyway."
Zhou Yi realized the situation at this time and asked, "What about you, Captain Wu? Aren't you here?"
"Director Xie and I are going to the provincial government to make a report."
No wonder we have to prepare the materials overnight.
"Captain Wu, is a certain leader going?"
Wu Yongcheng answered firmly: "No."
Zhou Yi suddenly smiled evilly and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, I understand."
"No, I have to go home, take a shower and change clothes." Wu Yongcheng said and ran out.
After the other members of the Third Brigade arrived, Zhou Yi told them about the people Du Cheng and Luo He were coming. Jiang Biao volunteered to book a restaurant, but Qiao Jiali reminded him not to order any alcohol.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong at the bureau at the moment, Zhou Yi went to the hospital first.
I went to see Jin Lei first. After just one night, his condition was obviously much better. I also met Director Jin's lover.
Seeing that Jin Lei was in good spirits, Zhou Yi told him what happened next.
When Jin Lei learned that Long Zhiqiang's gang had committed so many crimes, he was stunned with surprise. He just felt that he was old and useless, and that the gunshot was in vain.
Zhou Yi tried to comfort him, but he couldn't tell him the truth that only he knew.
Because Director Jin's shot was not in vain. If he had not encountered the fleeing Long Zhiqiang and had not fought with him and snatched the lighter, Zhou Yi would not have been able to know from the lighter that Yu Zixin and Long Zhiqiang were the same person, and he would not have been able to locate Luohe and find Yu Changshun so quickly.
Because when they reviewed the case investigation later, they found that the key role was indeed played by the migrant population registration file discovered by Zhou Yi.
Because there was a record of Changshun Hardware Processing Factory in the routine inspection, it means that this target had been missed.
This is a series of cause and effect, so only Zhou Yi knew that Director Jin's shot was not in vain, otherwise Long Zhiqiang would have escaped long ago.
"Director, I suddenly have a question in mind, about the Du Qingming case."
