Chapter 118 Uncle Fang, Fang Ting

Office of the Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation.

Chen Yi gently opened the door and saw Fang Shuyu wiping the table there. His elegant back was very charming and made people think.

The hair behind her ears fell down, gently sticking to her delicate cheeks, which were slightly red from sweat and labor.

The other party must have been cleaning for a long time, the floor is clean, and the bookcases against the wall are also spotless.

If Fang Songping sees this scene, he wonders if he will take back the third-level police inspector. After all, he has never enjoyed the treatment of his daughter's cleaner in his own study room.

Chen Yi was a little moved, approached her slowly, stretched out his hand and hugged her from behind.

Fang Shuyu was startled and was about to struggle. When he turned around and saw that it was Chen Yi, he smiled and said, "I'm back. The office has been packed up for you and is ready for use."

"Well, I saw that ashtray from the Internet. I really like it. What do you think?"

"Look and see if there's anything missing."

Chen Yi was silent for a while, leaned closer and whispered: "Thank you."

The man's hot breath made Fang Shuyu stiffen, and he twisted his body subconsciously: "Thank you for nothing, I have never seen you so polite before."

"Let me go quickly, we still have to work."

Chen Yi smiled, let go and picked up the rag: "I'll do it, you take a rest."

Fang Shuyu did not refuse. He raised his hand to wipe his sweat and sat on the chair nearby.

Looking at Chen Yi who was busy, she said, "How do you feel after being at the police station for more than half a year?"

Chen Yi smiled while working and said: "It's good. There's less pressure, but trivial disputes are really unbearable."

"Nowadays, everyone has a strong sense of the rule of law. No matter what happens, as long as there is a conflict, the first reaction is to call the police. This results in a heavy workload at the grassroots level. I understand this deeply."

"I remember one time, a woman was dissatisfied with the stall owner's sudden increase in prices, so she called the police directly. Can you believe it? Can you imagine how speechless I was?"

In that incident, Chen Yi chose to side with his boss. He chose to slightly increase the price in compliance with market regulations. It was very reasonable. The woman was somewhat seriously ill, and the most important thing was that it was only a dispute over a few dollars.

Fang Shuyu said: "This is how it is at the grassroots level. It's normal. You can see all kinds of things in the world. I believe you must have grown a lot, right?"

Chen Yi nodded: "There is definitely growth, but it's not like we ran into a wine trust fraud case before we had time to continue growing."

"I feel a bit reluctant to say it. I really have to go back and take a look when I have time."

"Oh, by the way, there is a good policeman named Qin Fei there. He has strong learning and execution abilities, and he has a heart to contribute more to social stability. He is a good prospect as a criminal police officer."

"You said that if I mention it to Director Zhang, can I be seconded?"

Fang Shuyu smiled and said: "I don't know, why don't you give it a try? If I can get your approval, I think it should be something special."

"I remembered, it was the one we put up with you last time to promote the promotion of law, right?"

Chen Yi: "That's right, that's him."

Fang Shuyu nodded: "I have the impression that he looks dumb."

Chen Yi: "That's because you arrived too suddenly and didn't react."

"How are you doing lately? There aren't any big cases in the bureau, right?"

Fang Shuyu: "There is a case, but there is no murder case."

Chen Yi hummed and continued busy.

After the atmosphere was quiet for a while, Fang Shuyu suddenly said: "Chen Yi, are you free on the weekend?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi turned around subconsciously: "Why do these words sound like the time when we just met? What can I do on the weekend? I'm free."

"What, you found a good place, do you want to take me there to play?"

Fang Shuyu shook his head: "No."

Chen Yi put down the rag, turned around, picked up Fang Shuyu's water glass, took a sip, and asked curiously: "What's the plan?"

Fang Shuyu blinked and said, "My dad wants to see you."

puff!
These words made Chen Yi squirt out a mouthful of water. Fang Shuyu looked helpless and quickly went to get tissues.

By the way, do you have such a big reaction?
"Cough cough!"

Chen Yi coughed twice and said in shock: "Your dad wants to see me?!"

Fang Shuyu handed over the tissue and said, "Yes."

"What, you don't dare? Or do you just want to fall in love with me and don't think about the future?"

Chen Yi took the tissue and wiped his mouth, then waved his hand quickly: "Of course not, of course not, it's just a bit sudden."

"Just wait for me to take it easy."

Fang Shuyu didn't give the other party time and asked, "Are you going or not?"

Chen Yi: "Well... go, of course, definitely go, must go, how can I not go?"

Five consecutive words of "go" made Fang Shuyu suspicious. She looked at Chen Yi and said, "Are you nervous?"

Chen Yi: "Sister, put yourself in my shoes, will you go to my house tonight?"

Fang Shuyu was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "No... I won't go!"

It was bad, and she started to get nervous.

Chen Yi spread his hands: "Look, what did I say?"

Fang Shuyu was silent. After empathizing, she understood the other party's subconscious resistance. After a moment, she hesitated: "Then...are you still going? It's okay not to go."

Chen Yi: "Go, of course, but I can't let my uncle think I'm a coward."

"which day?"

Fang Shuyu: "Saturday afternoon."

Chen Yi: "Okay, what does your dad drink?"

Fang Shuyu: "Uh... I don't know much about it, whatever."

She knew that Chen Yi couldn't go empty-handed. It was the first time he met his girlfriend's father empty-handed. Only an idiot could do this.

After the two chatted for 10 minutes, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Chen Yi turned around.

The young police officer just stuck his head in and smiled at Chen Yi: "Captain Chen, the meeting above is over. Director Zhang wants you to go to his office."

Chen Yi: "Okay, I understand."

After passing the message, the young police officer left and closed the door.

"Then I'll go over. I have something to do tonight, so we won't have dinner together." Chen Yichong said to Fang Shuyu.

Fang Shuyu didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, I understand."

Couples also need privacy. Sometimes it is not good to ask too many questions, as it will only arouse the other person's resentment.

When Chen Yi came to Zhang Jingang's office, he found that Zhou Yebin was also there. The two were chatting happily, but it didn't seem like they were talking about work.

"Zhang Bureau."

Zhang Jingang waved: "Come on, Chen Yi, sit down, I'm talking to Lao Zhou about you."

Chen Yi stepped forward and sat down, wondering: "Talk about me? What did you say about me?"

Zhang Jingang smiled and said, "You and the forensic doctor have been together for such a long time. Have you met your parents?"

Chen Yi: "Uh."

What a coincidence. We just finished talking about this matter over there, and you started discussing it again.

Has the City Bureau been suppressed for too long by investigating criminal cases every day?It’s been half a year since we caught up with each other and kept chatting about gossip, but the heat hasn’t subsided yet.

Is it possible that we really have to get engaged and married before we can stop?

"Ju Zhang, Team Zhou, Brother Yun, they just care about this matter, you two don't care about it, right?" Chen Yi was a little helpless.

Zhou Yebin said: "Idle time is also idle. Director Zhang wants to ask you something. Have you met your parents?"

Chen Yi didn't hide anything, and answered honestly: "Not yet, but Shuyu just said that her father wants to see me and will go on Saturday afternoon."

"Oh?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Jingang and Zhou Yebin stood up in unison, and then looked at each other.

"Saturday afternoon?" Zhang Jingang looked at Chen Yi with a profound look in his eyes, "Do you know who her father is?"

Chen Yi nodded: "I know, he is a policeman like us."

Zhang Jingang: "I mean the name."

Chen Yi: "Then I don't know. It's so impolite to ask someone's name."

Seeing this, Zhang Jingang leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I hope everything goes well for you on Saturday."

"The forensic doctor's father is indeed a policeman, and I also know him. He is an old policeman. He may speak a little more seriously. Don't mind it then."

Chen Yi chuckled: "Of course, the veteran policeman has rich experience and deserves respect and learning from us younger generations. Even if he is rigid and serious, it is normal. I am mentally prepared."

Zhou Yebin picked up the tea cup in front of him and said, "I hope, but that's not necessarily the case."

Chen Yi was extremely smart when he was investigating the case, but now he seems a bit stupid. You can guess, right?Maybe I didn't think about it that way.

Chen Yi looked at Zhou Yebin and felt strange. He was about to say something but was interrupted by Zhang Jingang: "Oh, by the way, my father, a forensic doctor, likes to drink strong-flavor liquor. Don't buy sauce-flavored liquor, let alone light-flavored liquor. The price shouldn't be too expensive. Salary level is enough.”

"The rest is up to you."

Hearing this, Chen Yi's eyes lit up and he said gratefully: "Thank you Zhang Ju!"

He was worried about this matter, and someone gave him a pillow when he was really sleepy.

Work-rate strong-flavored liquor?This is easy to do. Just ask Xu Can directly for a recommendation and pick up ten or twenty boxes. The problems for the next few years will be solved.

Zhang Jingang nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's stop chatting here. Let's talk about your future work arrangements."

Chen Yi looked serious: "Yes, Zhang Ju, please tell me."

Zhang Jingang tapped his fingers on his thighs habitually and said: "Yangcheng is in a period of rapid development. In recent years, there has been a large immigrant population and the crime rate remains high. You also know this, so when you get busy in the future, you must clarify the division of labor. ."

"I'm very confident in your ability. So Zhuo Yun, the leader of the investigation team, will be assigned to Lao Zhou for the time being. Do you have any questions?"

He knew that Chen Yi and Zhuo Yun had cooperated very well during this period, and they had to ask each other's opinions if they had to break it up.

Zhuo Yun was a little unhappy anyway. His opinion didn't matter, it was up to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi said: "No problem, I agree."

Zhang Jingang hummed and said, "Of course, it's just a formality. If you really encounter a big case alone, the entire criminal investigation detachment still has to work together."

"What I mean is that when you are too busy, Chen Yi, as the deputy captain of the criminal investigation detachment and you are so young, you should do more work and take on more responsibilities for your captain."

Zhou Yebin looked over.

Chen Yi: "Okay, I understand."

Zhang Jingang nodded: "I won't mention the rest. Everyone has their own responsibilities. If you need anything, you can tell me now."

At this point, Chen Yi thought for a while and said: "There is a man named Qin Fei from the Chengdong Police Station. I think he is a good candidate to be a criminal police officer. I wonder if it is possible to second him to our criminal investigation detachment?"

"Of course, it's just a secondment, use it first, and then send it back if it turns out it's not the material."

Zhang Jingang thought for a while and looked at Zhou Yebin: "What do you think?"

Zhou Yebin said: "I think there is no problem. It's okay. If you can get Chen Yi's approval within half a year, you must have outstanding qualities."

"It is not unusual for grassroots police officers to be seconded to the Criminal Investigation Detachment or Criminal Investigation Brigade. This has often happened before, and the police station police are the main force in maintaining social order. They have rich experience at the grassroots level. If the conditions are outstanding, it is absolutely possible. Seconded.”

"If you perform well by then, you will consider staying to add fresh blood to our criminal investigation detachment."

After listening to Zhou Yebin's words, Zhang Jingang nodded slightly: "I will study it further and give you an answer in two days, Chen Yi."

Chen Yi: "Okay Zhang Ju."

……

After get off work that day, Chen Yi left the city bureau alone, with Zhuo Yun's shout echoing behind him. "No, Chen Yi! You didn't even ask for a treat when you were promoted! You can even eat at the food stalls!"

Chen Yi turned around and shouted: "Let's talk tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I have something to do today!"

After saying that, he disappeared and disappeared from Zhuo Yun's sight.

Seeing this, Zhuo Yun shook his head helplessly and turned back to the case handling hall.

"What can happen to this kid? He doesn't even need a forensic doctor."

Everyone snickered, Zhuo Yun had been talking about Chen Yi's treat all afternoon, and he almost chose the place, but the other party didn't mean it at all.

Judging from the furious look on the other side, something must be really going on.

On the other side, Chen Yi drove out of the city bureau and picked up Jiang Fanlei at the designated location, and then the two of them drove to Xu Can's small warehouse.

Xu Can's family makes liquor, so there is no need to use this relationship.

"What? Going to my father-in-law's house?? So soon?!"

In the car, Jiang Fanlei was very surprised.

Chen Yi corrected: "Pay attention to your wording, he is not my father-in-law, but my girlfriend's father!"

Jiang Fanlei: "Doesn't that mean the same thing? What does your father-in-law do?"

Chen Yi: "Police."

Jiang Fanlei: "Let me go, it's the police again? You've fallen into the police's nest."

"I said what would happen if you dragged Xu Can along? It turned out that you were thinking about the wine in his warehouse."

Chen Yi: "He is an expert. Avoid detours when looking for him."

Jiang Fanlei suggested: "I don't think it's reliable. Your dad's place has a lot of wine. Why steal your dad's? There are limited collections and so on. It's definitely enough."

Chen Yi: "Shut up, those drinks are too expensive. What's the difference between this and giving money?"

Jiang Fanlei didn't quite understand: "Really? Well, just pretend I didn't say anything."

While chatting, the two drove into a high-end community and parked behind a single-family villa, where the garage and storage room were located.

Xu Can had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the two getting out of the car, he smiled and stepped forward to give them a hug.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"I said Chen Yi, you are not authentic. You don't usually burn incense, but you contacted me just to ask for wine. I am very sad, very sad."

More than ten months have passed since the murder of Wang Lihua. Everyone has selectively forgotten it and will not mention it casually.

Bad memories should be forgotten.

Chen Yi patted Xu Can on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, please, please, I don't understand much either."

"I'm treating you today, please do whatever you want."

Xu Can pointed at Chen Yi: "That's what you said."

After saying that, he turned back to the storage room and opened the rolling shutter door forcefully.

Jiang Fanlei took a closer look and was immediately surprised: "Fuck!"

The storage room in front of me is very large, covering more than 100 square meters. The most important thing is that the floor height is very high, and the wine shelf is three meters tall by visual inspection.

The interior is dazzling, storing a variety of mid- to high-end white wines and red wines, just like a famous wine exhibition hall.

Chen Yi blinked, and after a moment of silence he said, "Xu Can, what I want is low-priced strong-flavor liquor. Did you take me to the wrong place?"

Xu Can smiled and said: "Aren't you a gift for my father-in-law? You want low-key luxury and connotation, right? I'm the right one."

"Come in, come in, I'll get it for you."

After saying that, he walked into the storage room, rummaged through the innermost corner for a long time, and finally found two bottles with a long history.

"This wine was discontinued after only [-] bottles were produced nationwide. The market price is [-]."

"However, its actual value is much higher than [-]. If it is auctioned at an auction house that understands wine, the price can be more than ten times higher."

"Niche wines are neither good nor bad. No one is too free to go to auction, and no one wants to buy them."

"The key point is the taste. This bottle of wine will definitely rank high in the strong-flavor category. I guarantee that your father-in-law will like it."

"Look, the price is not high and the luxury is restrained. Is it reliable?"

Chen Yi became interested, took the bottle and studied it for a while, nodded and said: "You are really a talent in the liquor industry. That's it. I'll transfer it to you for [-] a bottle."

Xu Can waved his hand: "Just transfer a dime and treat me to dinner. Can you spend more tonight?"

Chen Yi was not pretentious and said with a smile: "Okay, didn't I say it? Just be casual."

Xu Can: "Let's go!"

……

That night, Chen Yi returned home after eating with Jiang Fanlei and Xu Can and saw Chen Zhiyao and Shen Ying still awake in the living room.

"Mom and Dad, haven't you gone to bed yet?" Chen Yi said hello.

Shen Ying looked over: "Xiaoyi, have you mentioned the matter you asked you last time to Shuyu?"

The relationship between Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu is no longer a secret. The two have known about it a few months ago.

Ever since, the meeting was put on the agenda.

To be precise, it was Shen Ying's own schedule, but Chen Yi kept delaying it.

"What's going on?" Chen Yi asked.

Shen Ying said dissatisfied: "You kid, let Shuyu come and sit at home."

"You've been dating for more than half a year. It's time to take him home and sit down, right?"

When it came to this matter, Chen Yi struggled for a while, then walked to the living room and said, "I promised you first, let's talk about it later."

Shen Ying was stunned for a moment: "Promise what?"

Chen Yi sat down and said, "I'll go to Shuyu's house this Saturday and meet her parents first."

"what?"

Shen Ying and Chen Zhiyao looked at each other, and the former hesitated: "Xiao Yi, according to custom, the woman should go to the man's house first... Hey, forget it, it doesn't matter, how are your preparations? Do you know what to bring?"

It is indeed customary for the woman to go to the man's house first. For more traditional families, the man is usually the head of the family, so couples will meet the man's parents first, so as to show that the man has status.

But that was in the early years, and it’s not necessary now. In fact, it’s fine no matter what.

Chen Yi nodded: "You're ready, don't worry."

Chen Zhiyao said at this time: "I still have a lot of wine at home. If you need it, go get it."

"But I heard you said that the other party is also a policeman. Too much wine seems... inappropriate, so you can make up your own mind."

"Also, I went to Shuyu's house this week. How about letting Shuyu come here next week?"

Chen Yi: "Okay, I'll ask, try my best, then I'll go upstairs."

Chen Zhiyao hummed.

……

It was Saturday afternoon, and the two of them, who had been having fun outside, were driving on the way to Fang Shuyu's house.

This was just the right time, leaving time for each other to meet and chat, and then just in time for dinner.

Fang Shuyu was driving. On the way, she turned to look at Chen Yi, the co-pilot, and said with a smile, "Are you a little nervous?"

Chen Yi coughed lightly: "How can I? Who am I? How can I be nervous? I'm just a little...uncomfortable."

"Next time you come to my house, you'll know what it feels like."

Fang Shuyu: "Anyway, I feel very comfortable now."

Chen Yi: "..."

As time passed, the car drove out of the city center and turned onto a tree-lined path.

At this moment, Chen Yi felt something was wrong. His hair stood on end and he stood up suddenly. His movements were so big that he even pulled the seat belt.

"What's wrong?" Fang Shuyu said.

Chen Yi frowned and whispered: "There's something wrong with the atmosphere. Where is this road going? You're driving right, right?"

"I feel like...huh?"

He had encountered many dangers in his previous life, which made him extremely sensitive to crises. Even when a sniper pointed a gun at him, he would have unexplainable conditioned reflexes.

Before he finished speaking, he opened his eyes wide and saw the armed police on sentry duty in the distance through the car window.

After being stunned for a while, Chen Yi's eyes followed the armed police until his whole head turned to the back.

"Shu Yu, you..."

"What does your dad do?!"

There is no way that ordinary people live in a family compound with armed police on guard.

Fang Shuyu was quiet for a while and said truthfully: "His name is... Fang Songping."

Chen Yi: "Fang..."

It's over. I miscalculated. Is it too late to get off now?

In the chaos, Fang Shuyu parked the car in front of a courtyard and told Chen Yi that he had arrived.

Chen Yi didn't seem to hear, and sat there quietly, feeling hopeless.

It wasn't that he was frightened by the identity of Fang Shuyu's father. He had seen even more powerful people before, but he didn't realize it until he came to the door. It was a bit sudden, and he felt like he had been cheated.

He was not tricked by Fang Shuyu, but by everyone in the city bureau.

Fang Shuyu smiled: "It's okay, my dad is very easy-going, you will know it when you meet him."

Chen Yi opened the door and got out of the car: "I believe you are a ghost."

Soon, Chen Yi stood in front of the door of the second-story building carrying large and small bags of things.

The doorbell rang, and along with the sound of footsteps, Fang Songping came to open the door himself.

Seeing Fang Songping standing in front of him, Chen Yi stiffened and forced a smile: "Uncle Fang... uh no, Fang Ting."

Fang Songping looked at Chen Yi and said with a smile: "No need to see anyone outside, just call me Uncle Fang. Come in."

"Okay okay."

Chen Yi quickly agreed, and when Fang Shuyu went in first, he would follow behind.

When the door closed, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the living room.

"Is Chen Yi here?"

As the voice fell, Fang Shuyu's mother stretched her head to confirm, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly came to greet her.

"Chen Yi, you don't need to be so polite when you come home. Don't be like this next time." She took the things in Chen Yi's hands and put them on the ground, "Come on, come on, stop standing, come in and sit down."

Seeing Fang's mother, Chen Yi realized that Fang Shuyu had inherited her good looks. Her dignity revealed nobility. Compared with Shen Ying, who had been working hard in the business world, she was more stable and talented.

They both belong to the upper class, but have completely different temperaments.

He kept his posture very low, was polite, and followed a few people into the house.

"You guys talk first, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare. Shuyu, you come with me."

Fang's mother called Fang Shuyu into the kitchen, leaving Chen Yi to face Fang Songping alone.

For Chen Yi, the atmosphere was solid.

"Would you like to smoke, Xiao Chen?" Fang Songping picked up the cigarette case casually.

Chen Yi: "It's okay to smoke one..."
