The old man stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall leaning on crutches, and Lu Hui sat on the threshold without any image, as if he would tear down the ancestral hall if you didn't tell me.
Ji Fanyang couldn't be a rascal like Lu Hui, so he weighed the old man and Lu Hui in his heart. If he tried to persuade the old man, he might be beaten by the people from Lijia Village who gradually gathered around to watch the fun. If he tried to persuade Lu Hui... Ji Fanyang Fan Yang glanced at the stick tightly held in Lu Hui's hand, let alone breaking a bone on the spot, he might even lose his job.
Ji Fanyang thought about it secretly, and chose to dissuade the old man on crutches: "Zu Lu is also eager to solve the case, the deceased is Li//Peng..."
He was interrupted by the old man before he finished speaking, and the old man raised his voice: "Who died?!"
"Li Ying's younger brother, Li//Peng." Ji Fanyang replied.
Lu Hui rested his chin and watched the young police officer and the old man deal with each other, with a stick between his knees, as if he would violently beat someone if there was any movement.
"Someone must have murdered him!" The old man banged his cane, his eyes widened, "He must have been murdered!"
The old man's voice was loud, but he was not confident enough, even a little tired. Lu Hui was keenly aware of it, and he asked, "Who do you suspect?"
The old man muttered a few indistinct syllables, and then shouted: "How do I know! Aren't you the police, you go and investigate?! Ask me a bad old man and want to smash the ancestral temple. Do you have any conscience and morality? ?!"
Seeing that the old man was about to start rolling around, Lu Hui smiled short and mockingly for a moment, stood up, and walked into the ancestral hall with a stick. Ji Fanyang suddenly became nervous, and he followed Lu Hui step by step, for fear that he—
There is no need for future tense voice narration at all. Lu Hui raised his stick and pressed it against the tablet placed at the front. He turned his head and smiled at the old man: "Say that name, or I..." He gestured and withdrew the wooden stick, "play A domino?"
The wooden stick swayed. If it knocked down the first tablet, the neat tablets behind it would fall one after another. The scene must be quite spectacular.
The old man took a deep breath, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled. Ji Fanyang counted silently in his heart.
"Say it?" Lu Hui swung his bat. If the old man refused to speak stubbornly, there might be a baseball game in the Li Family Ancestral Hall.
The old man clenched his cheeks, his wrinkled face twitched for a moment, and finally he was defeated by Lu Hui's bastard: "Li Weiguo!" He shouted, "He went out to work, Li//Peng and his wife..." He paused, not talking anymore.
"What's the matter with his wife?" Lu Hui pretended not to know, and raised the wooden stick, "My patience is not very good, please explain clearly."
The old man's lips twitched, and he said two words with an embarrassed expression: "Go to bed."
Lu Hui chuckled lightly, and the sarcasm came out from between his teeth: "Who are you Li//Peng?"
"I'm his uncle." The old man slumped his shoulders and lowered his head to cover his face.
But this was not a bowing of the head caused by shame. Lu Hui looked at the old man thoughtfully, his sharp blade-like gaze made the old man shrug his shoulders.
"Let's... let's go?" Ji Fanyang said hesitantly. He glanced at the more and more people gathered at the gate of the ancestral hall and continued to stay in the ancestral hall. They would not survive tonight.
"Hmm." Lu Hui walked out of the ancestral hall first with a wooden stick in his hand. He stepped over the threshold with his chin raised, like a wild beast patrolling the territory, or maybe it was a bluff.
Rao Feifei and the police from the police station tried their best to separate the crowd and kept Lu Hui and Ji Fanyang in the middle.
According to Lu Hui's method of investigating the case, they really couldn't travel alone.
Six pm.
supper time.
Gao Ju approved funds for the team to investigate the case, and learned from the experience of the previous case of suspected suicide with more complicated reasons, Gao Ju condoned Lu Hui a lot. As for the current suspected case of falling into the water, Gao Ju thought, even if it was really falling into the water and there were no other secrets, the funds should be used to appease the family members of the rogues.
The Changluowan County Police Station contacted an economical hotel for help and opened two standard rooms. Fortunately, the genders in the group were evenly matched, with two men and two women just right.
They gathered by the pond, Ji Fanyang went to a small shop to buy four bottles of drinks, two bottles of normal temperature were given to Rao Feifei and Yang Jie, and two cold bottles were kept for Lu Hui and himself.
Ji Fanyang is a gentle and considerate person. He has always been like this. He opens the door for the lady first when he comes in and out, and he stays half a step away from speaking. With a gentle and handsome face and a soft and pure voice, he is like a warm but not glaring little sun, warming everyone around him.
Such a person entered the police station, and in just three months, he gained the love of all women of all ages in the city bureau.
And Lu Hui, who was in the same office as him, was completely the opposite of the little angel.
Ji Fanyang wears a clean and ironed T-shirt every day. Lu Hui's shirt is wrinkled. He doesn't like to shave. He walks into the office like a bum. Live so toss.
Back to the topic, Ji Fanyang smiled and handed the ladies mineral water, Rao Feifei and Yang Jie thanked them and took the water bottles.
Just as Ji Fanyang reached out to give Lu Hui iced mineral water, his cell phone rang.
In midsummer, it was the dog days. Lu Hui unscrewed the bottle cap and drank half of it, poured the rest on his body, and exhaled comfortably. Lu Hui stood on the edge of the pond, the setting sun slanted to the west, reflecting the golden and reddish water in the pond.
Lu Hui stood upright, while Rao Feifei and Yang Jie were discussing what to have for dinner.
The trace inspection will arrive tomorrow, and there is Lu Hui's whiteboard. Lu Hui refuses to think without a whiteboard.
After the phone call, Ji Fanyang came back with a strange expression, which Lu Hui interpreted as dejected.
"Would you like to have a drink with me?" Ji Fanyang said, his shoulders slumped, and the phone was tightly clutched in his hand.
"No." Lu Hui refused decisively.
Ji Fanyang looked at him clearly, with an expression of [I expected that you would refuse], and he played his hole card: "You knocked on the door at two o'clock in the middle of the night and poured two glasses of water on me, remember?"
Lu Hui stiffened his neck and remained silent.
Ji Fanyang sighed: "You don't need to talk, can you just listen to me pour out your bitterness?"
Lu Hui's dark eyes stared at him, from the hair down to the toes, and then back to the eyes from the toes, he frowned, as if he had fought an arduous psychological battle, he spoke with difficulty, even though every word revealed dissatisfaction. Willingness: "Okay."
Ji Fanyang pinched the bridge of his nose, turned around and said to Rao Feifei and Yang Jie, "We..."
"Sister Yang and I are going to eat, you can find a restaurant by yourself." Rao Feifei said first, she blinked, "I want to talk about our women's affairs."
"Okay, okay." Ji Fanyang raised his hands high, "I just want to chat with Lu Zu about men's affairs."
Lu Hui snorted.
Parting ways with Rao Feifei and Yang Jie, Ji Fanyang and Lu Hui randomly found a roadside stall and sat down.
Ji Fanyang ordered ten bottles of beer and a large plate of grilled skewers in one go. He raised his head and asked Lu Hui, "What would Group Lu want to eat?"
"Not hungry, you can do whatever you want." Lu Hui focused on playing his role as an audience.
When the beer and skewers were served, Ji Fanyang said: "I..." He spit out a thin syllable, and he suddenly didn't know what to say again.
Lu Hui picked up a bunch of grilled wings and ate deliciously. Ji Fanyang could only see the top of his black hair.
"... I broke up again." Ji Fanyang said, his tone was full of confusion, not hoarse with heartbroken, just puzzled, "Why did she propose to break up?"
Lu Hui paused and raised his eyelids, expressing his disinterest.
Ji Fanyang opened a bottle of beer and drank half of it in one gulp. He didn't use alcohol to relieve his worries at all. If he wanted to die drunk, he would choose liquor.
"She is my fourth girlfriend." Ji Fanyang said, "She was abused by her stepmother when she was a child, and she was very dependent on me. She made eight//nine phone calls a day. We have been talking for a year." He narrowed his eyes, Falling into memories, "I picked her up like a kitten, she proposed to be together, she proposed to break up, why?"
"Tell me about your first girlfriend." Lu Hui picked up the second skewer of grilled chicken gizzards, dutifully being a good listener, asking questions appropriately to bring up the topic so as not to be cold.
"The first job? That's the second year of junior high school." Ji Fanyang poured beer into the glass, took a sip and said, "She was originally smart and well-behaved, and she was good at studying, but her parents divorced in the second year of junior high school. She The grades plummeted, and as a class leader with good grades in the class, I went to her house."
"She was hiding in the room, and I opened the door to go in, and she was crying under the quilt." Ji Fanyang said, "I walked over, dug her out of the quilt, and brought her back to school. Later, I helped her with her homework. The doubts in his voice deepened, of course, out of the nature of an angel, Ji Fanyang filled Lu Hui's cup with water, and he continued, "Maybe I am the only one who has seen her vulnerable, she Confess to me, and I accept."
Lu Hui ate too eagerly, put down the skewers and took a rest, his eyes were sharp, looking straight into Ji Fanyang's heart: "Then she dumped you?"
"Under my enlightenment, she doesn't hate her parents so much." Ji Fanyang said, he touched his nose, "She broke up with me, and I asked her why, and she said it didn't feel right."
"Ha." Lu Hui made a short breath, as if laughing.
"The second term was when I was in high school. I was a life committee member." Ji Fanyang said, he had already finished two bottles of beer. Dare to look up at people, other students don’t talk to her, I will deliberately talk to her on weekdays.” Ji Fanyang picked up the first skewer of grilled wings, took a bite, “She is too timid, never Talk to me, don't look at me, and then one of her girlfriends from another class came to me and handed me the letter she wrote, and I accepted it."
"We do our homework together. She is good at math. If I don't know some questions, I ask her for advice. She writes the steps on the paper and passes them to me." Ji Fanyang finished eating the chicken wings and put the chicken bones together, "We got along well. One year, she finally spoke the first words to someone, her voice was not too loud, she looked into the other person's eyes, and then she broke up with me."
Lu Hui also opened a bottle of beer and raised his head to signal the young man to continue talking.
"She said, I don't like her at all." Ji Fanyang smiled wryly, "What exactly is liking?" He took a breath and exhaled slowly, "When I was in college, I joined a volunteer club and met a Depressed patient, she likes to sit on the roof, once she almost jumped off, but I grabbed her arm and saved her."
Lu Hui picked up the scone and took a bite, it was crispy and spicy.
"I volunteered to be her guide, urging her to take medicine, taking her out for a walk, and I bought her a puppy." Ji Fanyang propped his forehead with his right hand, and said helplessly, "She is getting better gradually, and even said that she wants to To travel, we made an appointment to see the snow-capped mountains together, but she left me and set off by herself."
"She left me a note." Ji Fanyang said, "It said, [Thank you, even though you never loved me]." He raised his voice a little, just a little, making him seem Even more depressed, "I treat them very well, I try my best to treat them well, I am not messing around, and I am not involved in financial disputes, why do they always choose to leave me?"
Lu Hui put down the beer bottle, picked up the corkscrew and opened a new bottle, and pushed it to Ji Fanyang: "Drink."
Four girlfriends, confessed four times, dumped four times, even a saint would have to drink a cup of sorrow.
Lu Hui's eyes were clear, he heard a problem, but kept silent, he didn't care, he didn't care about other people's emotional history, he was only responsible for listening, eating, and not commenting.
After drinking six bottles of beer, Ji Fanyang drank a little dazedly. He grabbed Lu Hui's arm and said, "Are we friends after drinking this?"
Lu Hui stared at his eyes, stared at his gentle eyes that seemed to be flowing with clear streams, and said, "No."
