Chapter 39 Three Graves 02 Koi

In the middle of the night, the street lights elongated the silhouettes of people. In the quiet night, the sound of water on the street can be clearly heard.

Lin Chen and Xing Conglian were walking on the stone road. It was only after seven o'clock in the evening, and most of the shops on the street were closed. In a sense, Hongjing was really a very hopeless city.

Yanjia Lane is still a little narrow and a little long. The only thing that has changed are the shops on both sides of the lane.

According to Xing Conglian, during the time he was away, the city government renovated Yanjia Lane, and the houses on both sides were renovated and rented out to some students who wanted to start businesses in the literature and art industry. Some of the old houses have been turned into coffee shops and tea houses, while others have become art studios or handicraft studios. The original yellowed walls are covered by fences and flowers and plants. From time to time, cats can be seen taking a nap in the floor-to-ceiling windows. The old streets are also warmer and more human.

The yellowish light reflects the old house number. In front of the old wooden door, two people squatted pitifully, like two small animals waiting for the owner to feed.

Xing Conglian stopped, looked at the two people at the door helplessly, and said, "If you are like this, the neighbor next door will call the police when they see it."

A certain young comrade who was addicted to online games raised his head and his eyes were bright: "Ah, what are you calling the police? Boss, why is your wifi turned off, I have cracked the passwords for the next door and the next door, can you let me in? Have a bite to eat?"

The other person squatting beside him didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Chen looked down at him, only to see that the man's eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were stunned, as if he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.

"Hey, didn't you have the phone call two days ago?" His tone was a little softer, more helpless.

Before he finished speaking, the man jumped up and hugged him tightly: "Senior brother, don't scare me anymore!"

———

Knowing that someone cares about you with all their heart, sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's a bond.

Lin Chen was pulled by Fu Hao's arm and entered the door together, with Professor Fu's endless complaints in his ears, he thought, this is probably the legendary coquettish?

Xing Conglian stood by the door and turned on the door light. The moment the light came on, Professor Fu's chattering stopped abruptly.

In front of him is a classical courtyard, among the grass and trees, the ground lights are shining brightly, a path paved with cobblestones connects the front door and the main hall, and on the left side of the courtyard, is a pool of green water, reflected by the lights , the water flickered with a cool floating light.

Fu Hao was stunned for a while, and finally spit out two words: "What the hell?"

After he finished speaking, he took two steps back like a ghost, walked out the door, glanced at the house number, and rushed in to hold Xing Conglian: "Why do you enter other people's houses when you have nothing to do? As a public official, you should not know the law and break the law!"

Xing Conglian was also stunned. He looked at Lin Chen with a "what's the matter with your junior brother?". Chao Dynasty rushed into the house first, quickly turned on the wireless network, and rubbed his hands to prepare for another battle.

Lin Chen had no choice but to rub Fu Hao's head, and explained to Conglian: "The renovation of the old street is a practical project of the city government."

"Is it still a room change for the actual project?"

"The house he lived in was right next door, and it was rented to a gallery, so he moved here." Lin Chen repeated the explanation given by Xing Conglian.

Professor Fu's face was full of disbelief: "Just his broken house, why should the government give him a replacement? This is a garden, right?" As he said, he walked to the pond, where several beautiful rockeries and stone arch bridges were stacked. Across the water, I saw bright red koi across the water, rippling layers of ripples, "Senior brother, look, there are koi!"

"Well, do you want to say goodbye?" Xing Cong Lian asked with a smile.

"Old Xing, let me tell you, you can't touch money that shouldn't be touched, you know?" Professor Fu suddenly turned around with a dignified expression, "You must always remember your identity, and don't be knocked down by the sugar-coated cannonballs of capitalism. "

Xing Conglian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked Lin Chen, "Is your junior brother changing careers to take a politics class?"

"Old Xing, be serious. You say that you are a criminal policeman and live in such a house, but you must not be known by Inspector Huang, otherwise you will have to take off three layers of skin if you don't die!" Fu Hao continued to speak bitterly.

Hearing that although he was babbling, but his words were full of concern, Xing Conglian smiled and rubbed Fu Hao's hair that had been messed up by Lin Chen, and said sincerely, "Professor Fu, don't worry."

The three of them were talking by the pool, mostly Fu Hao was constantly nagging, while Lin Chen and Xing Conglian teased him from time to time.

Suddenly, a cry came from the main hall: "Boss, I'm hungry!"

"Instant noodles are in the first cabinet on the left hand of the kitchen." Xing Conglian raised his voice and told the little comrades in the room.

"But I don't want to eat instant noodles anymore!" Chao continued to shout.

"Order takeout."

"I'm tired of eating nearby takeaways."

Xing Conglian led Lin Chen and Fu Hao into the main hall.

The young comrade Dynasty was lying on the table, powerless, as if he had just lost the game and was unlovable.

"What do you want?" Xing Conglian asked.

Hearing this, Wang Chao's eyes lit up, his eyes fell on Lin Chen's face, and he said, "Achen, cook for me, okay?"

Comrade Wang Chao, a police officer with rich criminal investigation experience, every word he said was based on solid facts.

Among the four people present, Xing Conglian, needless to say, is a man who lives in braised beef noodles and spicy crayfish; Professor Fu lives in the school all the year round, and it looks like he has been poisoned by the cafeteria for many years; and Lin Chen, Lin Chen has always been Living alone, it is said that after a few years of hardship, the dishes must be done well.

Wang Dynasty licked his lips and said, "I really want to eat home-cooked food."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Dynasty's analysis. The only problem is that a man who is familiar with the various instant noodle flavors on the supermarket shelves has no materials that can show his cooking skills.

Lin Chen stood in front of the sink, rinsing a few wilted green vegetables, and boiling hot instant noodles in the pot, um, it still tasted like braised beef.

Xing Conglian leaned against the cooking table and said to the little comrade who was looking through the refrigerator: "Don't look for it, you have eaten the last salt water square leg the day before yesterday."

"Why don't you go grocery shopping!" Dynasty looked back angrily.

"Because I work hard every day." Xing Conglian answered as a matter of course.

Chaos was so choked that he couldn't speak, slammed the refrigerator door, and rushed back to the computer, ready to kill two more.

Professor Fu took two steps back to make way for him, his eyes still on the old-fashioned double-door refrigerator.

Just now, Professor Fu has already looked at every corner of the main hall with great concern. What should say? Although the old house has been renovated, the doors and windows are exquisite and elegant, and the hall is also very stylish, but on the water-milled floor tiles, except for the Eight Immortals Table that was moved from the previous house. , not even decent furniture.

The whole house, except for being empty, is still empty. There is an echo for a long time to say a word. In this situation, Professor Fu's heart is half relieved, and when he sees the empty kitchen, and the old refrigerator in the corner, another Half of the heart, only to let go completely.

Comrade Lao Xing, it really is just good luck, Professor Fu thought silently.

———

The instant noodles with green vegetables and eggs are still braised beef flavor, and they can't turn out any novel tricks.

After dinner, in order to avoid Fu Hao's ideological and moral education on Xing Conglian, Lin Chen took him to the balcony to drink tea.

The spring breeze is half cool, not cool, the balcony is facing the river, and the lights on both sides of the river are reflected in the water, making it even more sparkling.

Professor Fu is someone who has seen the world anyway, but sitting in a corrupt armchair holding a cup of hot tea, he is so comfortable that he wants to hum.

"Senior brother, have you made up your mind to stay here?" Professor Fu asked with half-squinted eyes.

There was only the sound of running water all around, and everything was quiet.

"Um."

Lin Chen's faint nasal voice came, and Fu Hao looked at his face. In fact, he clearly had a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask, but he felt that he couldn't speak. Don't be as aggressive as before."

"it is good."

"In the case of Feng Peilin, I understand that you are trying to cheat and escape from surveillance. Although hiding is always not a solution, it is better than your old age." The more serious, "the high-speed robbery, I know you also accidentally ran into it, it's unrealistic, but it's too dangerous, you can kill a carload of people all at once, and you dare to be under the police car. Putting a sucker bomb on, this is no longer bold enough to describe, okay, if it wasn't for Huang Ze to put things down, you would become famous again, and if you were targeted by drug dealers again, what would you do?"

Professor Fu was worried, and Lin Chen was helpless, but he could only comfort him: "It's okay, the police have a witness protection system."

"You didn't pay attention to this matter at all!" Professor Fu put down the teacup and raised the volume.

"But what do you want me to do?"

I don't know Chunfeng or something else, Lin Chen's voice was a little soft, when Fu Hao heard what he said, he felt that his heart was about to be pricked, so he hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's fine now, you can stay with Lao Xing. , in case of any robbery and murder, he can also protect you."

The theme of the topic changed in an instant. have to say that Consultant Lin still has some experience in adjusting teachers and younger brothers.

"If you say that, I always have a bad feeling."

"Hey, who is called Senior Brother, your life is really not very good?"

"Professor Fu, do you have any transport methods?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

"I think Lao Xing's luck seems to be good. If you look at the government building a street, he can change to such a good place to live. I heard that some people are born hard, but their fate is good. All good luck is gone."

"Okay." Lin Chen still smiled, looking at the lights on both sides of the river bank, he said so.

Lin Chen didn't speak anymore, there was no other sound except the sound of water, but Fu Hao felt unaccustomed, scratched his hair, and suddenly remembered something: "That's right, brother, the day after tomorrow, the 60th birthday of the old man, that……"

"What's the matter?" Seeing Fu Hao's expression of hesitating to speak, Lin Chen knew that something had happened.

"Are you going?"

"Professor Fu means, do you want me to go, or do you want me to go?"

"No, of course I want you to go, even if I don't want to, the old man also thinks, that is, our old man is full of peaches and plums, and there will be a lot of classmates going..."

"and then?"

"Then, let me just tell you, many of them want to take advantage of Lao Tzu's birthday, and hold a class reunion by the way, damn, do you remember that bastard Zheng Dongdong? I have to recommend you to be the host of the class reunion, say you I used to have good grades and can do it, but now I must be a social elite. You are the most suitable host. I see him in the group as a villain who is arrogant and sarcastic. He just wants to take the opportunity to black you……"

"I don't remember." Lin Chen interrupted Fu Hao.

"Don't remember what?"

"I don't remember who Zheng Dongdong is."

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, that's a small character. We were in the class next door before, but he was disgusting and strong enough. To be honest, it's really bad if you don't go, or we'll go to the old man's house that night. It's convenient to visit and talk."

"No, that's not what I meant." Hearing what Fu Hao said, Lin Chen raised the kettle on the coffee table and filled the cup with some hot water: "Since I don't even remember who he is, what does he think, say or even say? Does it matter what you do?"

"It's not important, it's not important, but the classmates will..."

"You are trying to say that now my classmates are all successful in their careers, but I, who had the best grades at the time, just got worse and worse. I can only be a small adviser to the police force. It's easy to feel uncomfortable when I go to see my old classmates, right? ?"

He didn't expect Lin Chen to be so straightforward, Fu Hao thought for a long time and the words were held in his throat. In the end, he blushed a little, but under Lin Chen's burning gaze, he could only nod his head.

"This work is something I am happy to do, why should I be uncomfortable?"
