Chapter 206 The Two Brothers Break the Ice
At this point in the case, the body of the deceased has been found, the identity of the criminal has been revealed, and there are living witnesses, so there will be a result soon.
However, after the brutal bandit Zhang Liao committed the murder of an entire family, he fled to other places. Therefore, this case cannot be handled by the police stations in Yangcheng and Mengcheng alone. Cross-provincial cooperation with the police in the other two provinces is also needed. People from there have already started the investigation here. I believe there will be a result in about a week, and then the police can officially issue an announcement to the public.
After all, such a big case, as well as an old case, was solved in this case. It can be said that Zhou Hu, Feng Yang and others will be promoted in the future. Some policemen may only encounter such a legendary case once in their lifetime.
After reading the case file, everyone was suddenly enlightened. After all, such a case is really heartbreaking. Even if it is made into a movie or TV series, I am afraid that even the protagonist would not be able to guess what happened.
After that, they waited for the police from the other two provinces to come and hand over the information, and finally everyone had some time to rest.
"Shall I invite everyone to dinner?"
Zhou Hu spoke cheerfully. Naturally, Lu Yan, Jiao Han and Qin Xiao who came over would not be unwilling. After all, they were planning to fulfill the duties of being hosts.
Finally, at five o'clock, Zhou Hu took his men to a hot pot restaurant they often ate at. This hot pot restaurant was opened by Zhou Hu's retired brother. Generally, many retired soldiers would open hot pot restaurants or barbecue restaurants, and sometimes they would help their brothers in the police force to keep watch, so they had a livelihood. The police also took good care of their brothers' shops.
Everyone was happy at this welcoming banquet. After all, the case was solved and it was also related to the big case of that year. The job evaluation after the New Year was guaranteed.
Everyone was enjoying the food and drinks, except Qin Xiao, who seemed to be in a bad mood. He was surrounded by smart people, so who couldn't see it?
So Zhou Hu called Qin Lang while he was going to the bathroom to pay the bill.
"Boss Qin, how's your hand? Is it okay?"
Qin Lang was naturally a good person. When he was in the hotel, the staff wanted to provide him with personal service 24 hours a day. Especially after Wang Kun found that Qin Lang was not very comfortable taking a shower, he had to watch Qin Lang take a shower before leaving every day, which made Qin Lang helpless.
"It's okay, just bandaged my hand temporarily."
He gave his answer, but to his surprise, Officer Zhou on the other side said with a smile.
"Didn't I just get back from Mengcheng today? The case has been solved, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to visit you, my patient. After all, if it weren't for you, even if Zhang Qianqian woke up, there would be no one to protect her. This is the biggest coincidence. The police are very grateful to you."
The fact that such a case could happen was all thanks to Qin Lang, and he was not joking. If Qin Lang had not gone to visit, whether Zhang Qianqian would wake up that day was one thing, and whether she would be killed after waking up was another. In short, this was the most ingenious fate in the world.
“…Is this unnecessary?”
Qin Lang tried hard to refuse, but Zhou Hu continued.
"How can I not use it? You solved such a big case for the police force and personally protected the victim. That was a life. The police are planning to issue you a certificate for bravery. Don't say you just did it casually and you don't want this certificate!"
What Zhou Hu said was true. After all, Qin Lang was injured while saving others, so it was inevitable that he should be given a certificate for bravery.
"...Okay then. I'm staying at the Green Hotel now."
Qin Lang told Zhou Hu where he lived, and then Zhou Hu hung up the phone in a good mood, leaving Qin Lang a little confused.
However, Qin Lang has been feeling a little uncomfortable these days. His hands are tied like a mummy and he can't move at all, so naturally he is not feeling very comfortable. Now he has finally managed to drive Tang Jun and Wang Kun away, otherwise Wang Kun would want to sleep with him, and he is afraid that he will break his arm if he turns over in the middle of the night.
Qin Lang was at a loss for words about this. Although Wang Kun was a little silly, he was really kind and a very good child.
At the hot pot restaurant, some policemen needed to drive, so they didn't drink. Qin Xiao, who drank a little, continued to be depressed. Instead, Zhou Hu came over and put his arm around Qin Xiao's shoulders.
"Xiao Qin, this is what happened. Wasn't Zhang Qianqian heroically rescued by a citizen in the hospital earlier? I was busy on a business trip, and now that I finally have some free time, I wanted to go over and take a look. Do you want to come with me?"
It is surprising that Qin Lang and Qin Xiao are brothers.
Because Qin Lang gives people a feeling of being fair, weak and powerless, and his appearance is the kind that seems to be heartless at first glance, especially his face is frighteningly pale.
But Qin Xiao is different. Qin Xiao is the kind of person who gives people a very healthy and vigorous beauty. He is over 1.8 meters tall, with a strong body. His skin is not dark, but it is not white either. Overall, he gives people a tough feeling. In any case, he is not the pretty boy type.
These two people standing together don't look like brothers at all, and based on their looks alone, no one thinks they look similar.
"……want."
Although he had drunk a little bit of wine, Qin Xiao became anxious as soon as he heard the news about Qin Lang. Even though he pretended not to care on the surface, when he heard that Qin Lang's arm was injured, he still couldn't wait to see his brother and see how he was doing.
When Zhou Hu saw that this matter had potential, he immediately nodded.
"Okay, everyone, enjoy your meal. Qin Xiao and I will leave first. We plan to meet Boss Qin."
The other policemen also knew something, so they nodded and supported Zhou Hu's approach.
Lu Yan originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Jiao Han.
"Is it possible that someone would suffer a loss if they went to look for their brother?"
Now Lu Yan had nothing to say and could only watch Zhou Hu take Qin Xiao away.
Zhou Hu didn't drink, so he got into the car directly and let Qin Xiao sit in the passenger seat. Then he drove to Green Hotel. Although Qin Xiao was a little tipsy, he sobered up quickly. Especially when he thought about meeting his brother, he looked extremely nervous.
Even Zhou Hu, who was driving nearby, noticed the boy's nervousness and sighed.
"Although I don't know what happened between you and Boss Qin, he's your brother, and you're worried about him, right? There's nothing that can't be explained between two brothers. Tell your brother nicely that he's on a business trip these few days and asks you to take care of him. I think his hand won't heal for a month."
Zhou Hu sighed, and really advised Qin Xiao like an elder.
"Yeah." Qin Xiao obeyed obediently. He hadn't seen his brother for several years, from before he went to college to now when he graduated. His brother even disappeared after graduation, and the two of them tacitly agreed not to contact each other anymore.
It was as if the death of their parents took away all the feelings between the two brothers. Even now, when Qin Xiao thought of his brother kneeling on the ground in his parents' mourning hall, he felt extremely painful.
Things that I couldn’t understand before, now I seem to understand a lot more after becoming a policeman.
The car quickly arrived at the Green Hotel. According to the room number given by Qin Lang, a waiter took them upstairs. Zhou Hu was a little curious.
"Has Qin Lang been staying in your hotel?"
Why doesn’t a healthy person live at home and stay in a hotel?
"Yes, Mr. Qin has booked a room in our hotel for three months. He has been living in our suite recently."
The waiter said, then took the two to Qin Lang's room and swiped his card to let them in.
This was what Qin Lang had instructed. He was sitting on the sofa in the room at this moment, playing a card-drawing game on his phone with one hand out of boredom.
After hearing the noise, Qin Lang put the phone on the other side with his intact hand, stood up and turned around. The person he saw made Qin Lang stunned.
The same went for Qin Xiao. The two brothers, who hadn't seen each other for several years, looked at each other in bewilderment. Especially when Qin Xiao saw that Qin Lang's injured left arm was bandaged tightly, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Boss Qin, I don't know what you like to eat, so I brought you a fruit basket. Please ask the waiter to take care of it for you. Take care of your hand and eat some fruit to supplement your vitamins."
Zhou Hu came up and broke the stiff atmosphere. Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze away from his brother.
"Officer Zhou, you're here. Why bring any fruit? The hotel has everything. Come, sit down. Officer Zhou, have you eaten yet? If not, let's have a meal together."
Qin Lang is very enthusiastic, Zhou Hu said with a smile.
"I ate here before. I happened to be on a business trip in Mengcheng. The person next to me is Qin Xiao, a police officer from Mengcheng. You should know him, right?"
Zhou Hu joked, but Qin Lang looked at the policeman helplessly.
"Qin Xiao is my younger brother. I never thought he would be working in the police station in Mengcheng. When he was little, he told me that he would become a powerful police officer when he grew up."
Qin Lang talked about Qin Xiao's childhood dream, which made Qin Xiao feel a little embarrassed. Seeing that the two brothers didn't seem to have any major misunderstandings, Zhou Hu continued to joke.
"What about now? Do you think Qin Xiao looks like a dignified policeman?"
Qin Lang then glanced at his brother and found that Qin Xiao seemed to have drunk some alcohol, with a slightly tipsy face. Although he was so big, he looked silly.
"Now, now he doesn't look like a dignified policeman anymore. He looks like a drunk rabbit, stupid and clueless."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Hu burst into laughter, knowing that the two brothers really had a good relationship, so he left this opportunity for reconciliation to the two brothers.
"Okay, it's getting late. I should go home to see my wife and kids. You two should have a good chat. Qin Xiao, weren't you worried about your brother's injury on the way? Take good care of him, ha!"
Qin Xiao felt helpless, but Zhou Hu left anyway, only taking away the cheerful atmosphere in the room.
As soon as he left, the two brothers looked at each other expressionlessly. Qin Lang sighed in his heart, thinking that this kid was still so stubborn. He was about to say something to break the ice, but Qin Xiao spoke first.
"Is the injury on your hand serious? Does it hurt?"
My brother used to be the one who was most afraid of pain. Now his arm is wrapped like this but he doesn’t cry out. Qin Xiao feels bad too.
He took the initiative to speak, and Qin Lang also laughed.
"I'm already an adult. This little injury is nothing. It doesn't hurt."
The brothers seemed to really start to break the ice at this moment. Seeing his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Qin Xiao thought he would hold back, but at this moment, he suddenly said.
"I know everything about our family. Why didn't you tell me about those relatives bullying you?"
