With only one day off in their busy schedule, Xu Zheng and his grandma arrived at the high-speed rail station early in the morning. The train departed at 8 a.m. and arrived in Beijing at 11 noon. Then they arrived at their aunt's house, which was basically 12 o'clock.
A first-class seat costs about a thousand yuan for two people. Flying is a bit faster, and the time is not much different.
On the way, grandma reminded Xu Zheng again, "Watch our suitcases. They are filled with our Changming specialties that I have packed. They are all your aunt's favorites. Don't damage them."
Grandma Su Tongyun is actually only three years older than her sister-in-law. When she got married, her parents-in-law were there, and the whole family doted on this sister-in-law. They all said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were natural enemies, but in fact they were similar to aunt-in-law and daughter-in-law.
However, as Grandpa Xu Zheng, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother passed away one after another, the relationship between their aunt and daughter-in-law had to become better, but on the surface they still refused to give in to the other. Now that they are older, if they open a video, they will always use the tattoos on the corners of each other's eyes, The temperament and demeanor are playful.
Grandma is wearing a blue embroidered cheongsam today, with the hem just past her knees, and a string of pearls around her neck. The luster is round and the size is the same. Those who know the ropes can probably tell that this string is made of South Sea white pearls, which are very valuable. .
On her wrist is a string of South Sea gold beads, which are more expensive.
Coupled with the temperament of a grandma, she looks like a gentle and elegant little old lady.
Compared with his grandma, Xu Zheng just wears an ordinary white shirt without logo and jeans. However, who makes him look handsome? It seems that his grandfather and grandson come from an extraordinary and well-educated family.
Xu Zheng turned his head and looked at his grandma. He had been busy at work, and it was rare for his grandfather and grandson to have time to sit together. When he looked at his grandma's hair, which was turning gray at the temples, he realized that her grandma was already a 66-year-old woman.
And now that he remembered the decision made by Professor Ji Qianli and Mrs. Ji last night, he still felt ups and downs in his heart.
What made him feel even more unhappy was that Professor Ji hoped that he would be involved in the production process of the couple a hundred years later.
Xu Zheng's first choice at the time was to refuse this decision. In fact, despite his efforts to arrest various criminals and even shot and killed many people, he was kind-hearted after all, and he also grew up in a traditional cultural atmosphere.
He couldn't get over the psychological hurdle of dealing with the body of an elder he respected.
Regarding Professor Ji's decision, he really didn't dare to accept it at the time. In the end, he could only say to think about it carefully.
If grandma also made this decision...
When Xu Zheng thought of this, he immediately slapped himself. The "slap" sound was still clear, but he secretly made a decision in his heart. Everyone has their own destiny, but grandma must always be by his side. Be selfish.
"My dear grandson, what do you think? I asked you to accompany me to the capital. Do you still have any objections?" Grandma had been looking at her beauty mirror just now, but she didn't expect Xu Zheng to suddenly slap himself in the face.
Xu Zheng chuckled, put his face on the old lady's shoulder and rubbed it, "Grandma, can you believe that there are mosquitoes on the high-speed rail?"
Grandma rolled her eyes at him, knowing that there were no mosquitoes anywhere. "Why do I think you are so preoccupied? Why, the eucalyptus has encountered a bottleneck again?"
"Yes, yes, but these are just small problems for your grandson." Xu Zheng naturally couldn't bother grandma with work matters, so he mentioned other things, "Grandma, we have a wife, and we have a son." A doctor with very superb medical skills. Unlike other doctors, he treats patients themselves and their families.
If the patient has no money and does not want treatment, he will use medical skills to help the patient spend the rest of his life with quality. However, the patient's life expectancy of four to five years with full treatment has been reduced to one or two years.
If the patient still wants treatment without money, he will let the patient die early and with dignity.
If the patient has money and wants to be cured, he will use medical skills and high treatment fees to prolong the patient's life.
If the patient has money but doesn't want to be treated, he will ensure that the patient spends the rest of his life with dignity.
But there are still many poor patients in their hospital, so he mostly chooses the first and second methods, but the second method does not fully comply with hospital procedures and does not comply with treatment standards. In short, what he has done over the years The matter is considered a crime.
So here’s the question, grandma, do you think this doctor’s treatment method is advisable? "
Grandma Su Tongyun glanced at Xu Zheng in surprise. Why was her grandson hesitant? This is not like him. She patted Xu Zheng's hand and said, "I think this doctor should be a good person, not a good doctor. However, the law will not See if he is a good guy or a bad guy.
Don’t talk about other people’s families, let’s just talk about ours. Our family is considered a little rich, but if grandma gets seriously ill and needs to spend a lot of money, she will hesitate.
For example, if it were now, I would definitely let you go bankrupt to treat your grandma, because I haven’t seen my great-grandson yet.
Then in a few years, if you have both children, or you already have two or three children, grandma will never treat the disease. I have pursued a beautiful and refined life all my life, and of course I don’t want to lie in a hospital bed and be miserable. Spend the rest of your life. "
Xu Zheng could feel that his grandma was very firm. He and his grandson had been together for more than 20 years, and he had no choice but to obey the decision she made. Fortunately, she was in good health now. "Grandma, you must wait for a long life. At least you can live." Not until I become a grandfather.”
"You..." Grandma couldn't help but laugh. "It will take twenty or thirty years for you to become a grandpa. I wonder if Grandma can live that long?"
"Of course you can. You usually pay attention to your health. Our family doesn't have anything to worry about. Sister Xiaoxin and I are filial to you. Can you let us go?"
The grandfather and grandson chatted all the way. Fortunately, this was a first-class seat with spacious seats. Passengers rarely interacted with each other. In addition, there were not many people going to the capital, so Xu Zheng talked about his career plans.
"Grandma, I want to tell you about my work. It has been two years since I officially started working. I want to transfer to a lower city or county in another year after the child is born."
Xu Zheng is not a person who fishes for work after all. He is full of enthusiasm for criminal investigation work and is at home in the Changming Municipal Bureau. However, the environment that is too comfortable will gradually become a shackles in the workplace for him.
No matter what he does, no matter how much credit he gets, he still can't get rid of his identity as the third generation of Lie.
Just like now, he has participated in so many projects, and he still restores bones and simulates portraits on weekdays, but some people still think that these are the hype of the city bureau leaders.
Of course, these alone were not enough to make him choose to go to the city or county.
The most important thing is that if he is transferred to a city or county, he will definitely get a promotion and a salary increase. Next year, he will work for three years, and he can be promoted to the police rank based on his merit. A half-level promotion will be a full-time job.
And there is a high chance that you can compete for the captain of the criminal police team...
Grandma Su Tongyun didn't know that her grandson didn't like Lie Sandai's identity. She felt relieved and had a headache. People who bow their heads and do things in the system often don't get promotions. Xu Zheng is still young. He can rely on merit in the early stage, but in the future, he has to look at all aspects. strength.
However, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. She did not object, but made some suggestions, "I think you should ask your leaders more about career planning.
I should go talk to your Uncle Zhou.
Don't you often say that only with great power can you do more useful things, then I think you need to go to the provincial department or ministry to practice your interpersonal skills. "
"Provincial Department?" Xu Zheng had this thought, but it was not easy to get into the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps, and he didn't have much interest in going to other departments.
And the most important thing is that he is only familiar with the Anti-Human Trafficking Office and the Visual Investigation Corps in other departments.
The Anti-Human Trafficking Office was on a business trip to other provinces all day long. Although Xu Zheng admired them, he had little interest in them.
The Graphic Investigation Corps is a technical police force, but he still prefers criminal investigation.
"It's okay if you can go to the Criminal Investigation Corps. Grandma, I think your suggestion is good. I heard that the Corps has many unresolved cases, and its complex procedures and cases are more serious than the Changming City Bureau. I have a lot of ideas. .”
Grandma Su Tongyun looked at her grandson lovingly, and she seemed to have grown up unknowingly. However, he was still the same as when he was a child, and his eyes would light up whenever he mentioned something interesting.
"When you have time, go to your Uncle Zhou's house more often. Our two families are very close to each other. We have been friends for thirty years. If you want to join the corps, you still need your Uncle Zhou's nod.
And there is no shame in having connections within the system. This is also your strength, isn’t it? "
Xu Zheng nodded quickly and took grandma's hand, "Sure enough, an old man in the family is like a treasure. Look, grandma, your sweet grandson still can't live without you."
"Go and stop being so stupid." Grandma said with a look of disgust on her face, "You probably already have the idea of the Criminal Investigation Corps in your own career plan, but you just used my mouth to express it."
Don’t worry, your sister Xiaoxin will also support you. "
The grandfather and grandson kept chatting, and Xu Zheng complained to his grandmother about things at work, saying that he had another nickname, "Vicious Tongue."
It makes grandma extremely happy.
Soon, the high-speed train entered the station. As soon as the grandfather and grandson left the station, they saw a young girl waving to them.
This is the eldest granddaughter of my aunt's family. She is three years younger than Xu Zheng. She has just graduated from college and is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. Unfortunately, she has not inherited the Xu family's good-looking genes. The little girl has an average appearance and a slightly chubby body, but is very cute.
"Uncle and grandma, Brother Xiaozheng, here, here..." Ren Mingming wore his little eyes and happily ran to Xu Zheng and the others.
Ren Mingming hugged Su Tongyun excitedly, and greeted Xu Zheng with a smile. Xu Zheng didn't expect that after not seeing her for several years, this girl had not grown taller, but she had gained a lot of weight.
There are many cars in the capital, so Ren Mingming drove her mini tram and took her grandparents and grandson through the streets and alleys, passing through half of the capital before arriving at her aunt's house.
Compared with Xu Zheng's family, my aunt has two sons and more grandchildren. It is a big family, and they are all waiting for Xu Zheng and the others at home.
As for grandma Su Tongyun, she doesn't envy her aunt for living in the capital and being exposed to wind and sand every year, but she does envy this large family.
There would be no harm without comparison. Looking at her grandson, who was still working as a police officer, she suddenly became more confident. To be a police officer, you still have to go to the provincial department, and the grassroots level is the most dangerous place.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaozheng, come and sit at home, haha, Xiaozheng is here, my good nephew and grandnephew. I haven't seen you in three years. He's tanned and grown up." My aunt Xu Xiaorong had just put down two luggages when Xu Zheng came in. When he was picking up the box, he grabbed him.
Most women will miss their natal family throughout their lives, and Xu Xiaorong is no exception. Moreover, because of the young daughter of the Xu family, she is even more worried all day long.
Well, she was also the most opposed to police officer Xu Zheng. When she applied for the police academy, she had a big fight with Su Tongyun.
But now, Xu Zheng has been working as a police officer for more than two years, and she is about to get married and have a child. She also knows that she can't stop it, and there is nothing to worry about.
They sat at the aunt's house until four o'clock in the afternoon before Xu Zheng and the others left. Not to mention other people, this big family was very lively just because there were so many people. Xu Zheng chatted with his great-aunt and two cousins all afternoon. Although they did not enter The system and jobs are pretty good. One is engaged in foreign trade, the other is starting his own business, and his family is well off.
No matter what, Xu Zheng is also the squadron leader of the city bureau's criminal police detachment. In the eyes of the outside world, relying on the relationship left by Xu's elders, it is no problem for him to work at the senior level. Further up, the influence of his elders will be Not big anymore.
So this time, basically none of my aunt's family tried to persuade him not to do police work.
And they also know more than outsiders. Xu Zheng cooperates with the Administrative Office Equipment Division of the Ministry of Public Security, and his monthly dividends are 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, and it is also a regular income.
When they left, it was Ren Mingming who gave it to them. Compared with when he came, Xu Zheng was much more relaxed. He only had the wedding gifts prepared by his aunt for him and Xiaoxin.
It was a set of gold and jade jewelry. Xu Zheng didn't know how much it cost, but his grandma asked him to accept it, so he naturally didn't object.
Before entering the station, grandma grabbed Ren Mingming and told her, "You have to come two days early during the National Day, and let your cousin take you to Changming."
In terms of scenic spots, Changming is no less famous than Beijing. "
Ren Mingming naturally agreed wholeheartedly. The little chubby girl had heard about Chang Ming’s whole duck banquet for a long time, but unfortunately she only came once because she was too young at the time and fell tired after not shopping for a long time.
On the train back, grandma was still lamenting, "Although transportation is convenient now, distant relatives are still not as good as close neighbors. It takes a whole day to come here. It's better for me to find you at home to thank grandma and play mahjong with them."
No need to go out, just shout at the top of your lungs and they will hear you. "
"Relatives are related by blood after all. Neighbors move and forget about the relationship for a few years, but relatives don't." Xu Zheng quickly comforted his grandma and stood up to help her squeeze her shoulders.
Grandma patted her grandson's hand and said, "Sit down and rest for a while. I'm really a little tired. Come on, let grandma rest on my grandson's shoulder for a while."
Of course Xu Zheng was happy, but it was just as if grandma was about to fall asleep not long after she came over. She had the habit of taking a lunch break every day, so she must have been sleepy for a long time, and she was still holding on at her aunt's house.
At this time, the WeChat message on her phone rang. It turned out to be Han Xin asking when they would get home. Xu Zheng calculated the time and estimated that it would be around eight o'clock in the evening, so he would let her rest first without waiting for them for dinner.
Han Xin was pregnant for nearly a month. She did not ask for leave when school started in September, but went to work and went to class as usual. Because her due date was in June, she could ask for leave in May. July was the summer vacation again, so her next big year was calculated. You don’t have to work for half a year.
The whole family saw that she was always in good health and could walk strongly, so they allowed her to continue working. University work was always easy anyway, but Tian Xinyue objected to Han Xin continuing to write, saying that coding was laborious and sedentary, which was not good for the fetus.
But Sister Xiaoxin didn’t listen to her mother.
Xu Zheng listened, but he couldn't control his wife.
Just when Xu was thinking about things at home, a long-lost voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for the official conclusion of the Suyun City street murder series. 】
[The system rewards the host with advanced olfactory sensitivity. The host is asked to control this ability by himself. 】
The patient in Suyun City has been dragging his feet for two months, and it is finally over. This also means that the mentally ill Gao Liying has been cured by the psychiatrist Professor Zhu.
No, it should be able to wake her up. Otherwise, without her confession, this case would be a case of missing relevant evidence, which would have a great impact on the suspect's sentencing.
However, Xu Zheng didn't think about Yuzi at all at this time.
He was secretly happy that the system hadn't given him such a powerful ability for a long time.
The ability to smell, as the name suggests, assists in handling cases by identifying odors at the scene. It is definitely much better than the nose of a police dog.
No, as soon as he used this ability, the dozens of smells in the carriage almost made him faint.
Grandma was very close, and the smell of the shampoo on her hair was the faint scent of soap locust. It must have been the shampoo recommended to grandma by the old Chinese doctor.
Opposite Xu Zheng was a pair of young men and women. The girl smelled very much of perfume. She should be wearing Coco perfume, which cost four to five hundred yuan. It smelled of jasmine tea. But besides that, she also had a kind of indifference. The smell of heather.
Looking at the boy again, he smelled of sweat and hair oil. It was obvious that he had not taken a shower for two days. In addition, Xu Zheng observed him. The young man had been moving his hands and feet. The tip of his nose was slightly red, indicating that he was full of semen and his eyes were not used. Watch more, pervert’s heart.
This is interesting. The boys are showing symptoms of courtship, but the girls have already released their passion, and there are even traces of men on their bodies.
Doesn't this mean that she has two boats?
Of course, it is also possible to have three boats.
No matter how sensitive Xu Zheng's nose is, he can't smell several men!
However, after this incident, he understood that this sense of smell cannot be used indiscriminately, otherwise if he goes to the bathroom, then...
