"The results of the trial are announced below. The defendant was convicted of murder and sentenced to death!"
The result announced by the judge caused the entire court to explode in an instant. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, raised his handcuffed hands and shouted: "Your Honor, I am wronged!"
"What are you watching?" Chen Shi asked Tao Yueyue, who was sitting in front of the TV.
Tao Yueyue pointed to the male protagonist on the TV, "Look, you in the parallel world."
"Haha, am I so frustrated?" Chen Shi touched Tao Yueyue's head, "prepare to eat."
On September 11, the third day after the trial was over, the three talents had time to gather together to celebrate. At the moment when Chen Shi was declared innocent in court, Lin Dongxue and Tao Yueyue were so excited that they shed tears, and their long worries finally ended. Turned into joy.
"smell good!"
Lin Dongxue, wearing an apron and heat-insulating gloves, brought a large iron plate from the kitchen. She tried to bake fish at home. After several failed experiments, the results this time looked not bad.
Chen Shi smelled the charred and crispy sea bass. Although the appearance is still somewhat different from that in the store, he still deserves a compliment, "Cooking skills have risen!"
"Of course!" Lin Dongxue said proudly with a red glow on her face, "Yueyue's mouth is too ugly. I don't like anything to eat, so she said to me vigorously,'The criticism is for your better. Progress'."
"Sister Lin, you have a wrong memory. The sentence I said was'If criticism is not free, praise is meaningless'." Tao Yueyue corrected it solemnly.
"Uh, the meaning is the same anyway, come and taste it!" Lin Dongxue handed the chopsticks.
Tao Yueyue took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and tasted it. Lin Dongxue anxiously looked forward to her evaluation. After a long time, Tao Yueyue said: "If the full score is 100 points, this fish can be scored 90 points."
"Awesome!" Lin Dongxue was excited.
"Don't get me wrong, I mean this fish can be scored 90 points, and you can only score 73 points for this dish."
"You mean, I humiliated the ingredients?"
"It's okay too!" Tao Yueyue changed her mouth again, feeling that she was too harsh.
Lin Dongxue didn't recover from the shock, and said, "Cooking is really not my specialty. If you want to order takeout, just order takeout."
Chen Shi said roundly, "One fish is indeed not enough for three people. I will order whatever you want!"
"To celebrate your acquittal today, you ended up eating takeaway and this grilled fish?" Lin Dongxue felt a little unhappy, "Should we go out to eat Haidilao?"
"It doesn't need to be, it's fun to eat together."
Today Lin Dongxue took a leave of absence and did not have to go to work in the afternoon. She opened the beer and drinks, the three filled the cups, and Lin Dongxue raised the cups, "Celebrate... Although you have two names, I still call you Lao Chen to celebrate Lao Chen Wu Sin free!"
The three of them toasted together, and Tao Yueyue felt very happy for a moment. The three unrelated people could sit together and enjoy themselves, just like a family.
While eating and chatting, Chen Shi looked at his phone and said, "The deliveryman is lost, I'll pick it up."
"Business ability is really bad, just make a call." Lin Dongxue said.
"I'll be back soon!"
Chen Shi came outside. In fact, the text he just received was not a food delivery person. He went straight to the outside of the complex. There was a car parked there. He sat in the passenger seat, and an old man with white beard and hair handed a small box to it. He said, "I bought it myself. It is a gift to congratulate you on your acquittal."
Chen Shi opened it and glanced at it, it was a simple and durable mechanical watch, and smiled: "Your old taste really stays in the last century."
"Boy, I don't like to take it to the store and refund it."
"Why don't you like it!" Chen Shi put it on and tried it.
The old man waved his hand, "You young people get together, I won't join in the fun, just leave after a few words with you."
Chen Shi had guessed what he was going to say, but still listened patiently.
"Xiao Lin has just been discharged from the hospital. Although he still wants to stay on the front line, his body has not fully recovered. I am going to transfer him to the Political Department for a while."
"It's okay to do housework. He is a person who is very meticulous and true. I'm afraid of hitting him and never say that his talent is really not suitable for the front line."
"Yes." The old man smiled. "He is a stupid bird to fly first, but I don't know if the smart and fast bird is willing to come back."
"Chairman, after experiencing so many things, I am no longer Song Lang. I am now a sophisticated and conservative Chen Shi. I live a comfortable life now. I don't want to be a policeman anymore. I have a little psychological shadow. "
"You are wasting your talent."
"There is no waste!" Chen Shi spread his hands, "I still have the name of a consultant. When you need it, I will help."
The old man also laughed, "Being a captain is not just about solving crimes, there are many things you need to take care of."
"I don't think I am worthy anymore."
"That's just what you think, in my opinion, there is no more suitable person than you."
After a while of silence, Chen Shi said: "Four years have passed, and there are so many people in the police, is there no one suitable? It must be me?"
"Oh, let me tell you a story!" The old man said slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a farmer who dug out a tattered bronze sword in the ground. He casually placed it under the eaves of his house. Later, a Western Region merchant came. So, fellow villager, can this sword be sold to me? I will pay a hundred taels of silver. The farmer agreed, so the two agreed to pay the money and deliver the goods tomorrow. The farmer lay on the kang at night, wondering what kind of sword is so valuable , I'm afraid it's not a baby, so he picked it up and studied. With a light flick of his sword, a sword gas was emitted from the sword, and a large stone in front of the door was split open. The farmer was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. The next day, the merchant I came, and after seeing this sword, I slammed my chest and asked if you used it. This is a mountain-opening sword. One sword can split the mountain. I bought it to move the mountain and fill the sea, but I have used it. Once it was scrap iron, worthless."
The old man looked at Chen Shi meaningfully and said, "Of course, the sword is used to open the mountain. It is a waste to use it to cut stones, understand?"
Chen Shi helplessly, "How can I refuse you?"
"The choice is still yours."
Chen Shi looked out the window and was silent. When the judge read the verdict, it meant to him that the heaviest page of his life had already been turned over, but this page would affect his life. He hasn't thought about what to do in the future. good.
"Director, I want to go through the back door."
"Smelly boy, do you still want to talk about the conditions?"
"You have many acquaintances in the police school. I want to arrange an exam for a child who unfortunately missed the high school entrance exam. Of course, she will pass the exam on her own strength."
"That little girl wants to be a policeman?"
"We talked for a long time last night. This time, I understand that with her gift, she can either become the best policeman or the most dangerous criminal. I hope it is the former. I also convinced her. She is willing to try. Try it out."
"The exam is no problem. She caught Zhou Xiao alone. This incident caused a sensation across the country. If the media weren't stopped by you, she might already be a celebrity now. Even if she missed the high school exam, the police academy would have done so. I really want this piece of uncut jade, but after I do it for you..."
"After it's done, I will seriously consider what you have said today, and then give you a clear answer."
"I hope it won't be too long. I'm going to retire soon. I don't have much time to wait for you."
"Don't worry!" Chen Shi said.
