Today is also missed!
Chapter 43
001.
A night without dreams until dawn.
The genius was slightly bright, and there was a hasty knock on the door, the two of them were awakened, and Li Zimu put on his clothes in a little embarrassment and went to open the door.
The person who knocked on the door was his elder brother, who was looking at him with a dark face at the moment.
Seeing Li Zimu's disheveled and disheveled appearance, he almost immediately understood why Li Zimu didn't answer his call.
"You're still sleeping, it's getting dark." Li Zilin was amused and a little annoyed, "I sent someone to pick you up, but you didn't answer my phone calls. I thought something happened to you."
Li Zimu looked out the window, only to realize that it was past eleven o'clock.
"Pick up your things and come down quickly, your parents are still waiting for you to eat." Li Zilin didn't enter the house, and after glancing at the direction of the bedroom, he went downstairs first.
Seeing this, Li Zimu hurried to the bedroom while getting dressed, entered the room, saw that Ren Qingli was still lying on the bed, he rushed to kiss him good morning, then opened the closet and started looking for clothes.
"Do you want to go with me?" Li Zimu asked without looking back while changing his clothes.
Ren Qingli who was lying on the bed moved, he shook his head, "Next time!"
He wanted to go, but the current situation didn't allow it, he was so weak that he didn't want to move at all.
After getting dressed, Li Zimu took the key and ran out the door. Seeing this, Ren Qingli hurriedly stopped him and threw his cell phone over, "Be careful on the road."
After a period of chaos, Li Zimu rushed downstairs with his messy hair.
After Li Zimu left, he never came back. He originally planned to come back after going home to spend a few days with his parents, but on the second day after he returned home, news came from his brother, and someone from Li Wenbin came. up.
When someone came from above, Li Zimu naturally had to go with him, because it was too hasty, Li Zimu didn't even have time to come back to pick up his luggage, and Li Zilin sent someone to Ren Qingli to take away the things.
Li Zimu doesn't have a lot of luggage. In order to facilitate transfer at any time, he only has one suitcase in total. Because he doesn't know what Li Zimu will bring, so when he helped pack the luggage, Ren Qingli packed all his things. Put it in the box.
He didn't feel it when he packed his things, he just felt a little distressed at that time, because there were so few things in Li Zimu.
When the suitcase was taken away and there was no more plum wood in the room, Ren Qingli lay down on the empty bed in a daze, and began to experience the loneliness and loss.
Before Li Zimu came, his house was as empty as it is now, but at that time he didn't feel that he liked this simplicity, but now that Li Zimu came and left, he always felt that he was not pleasing to look at.
Without Li Zimu, the whole house was empty and cold, and even the quietness he enjoyed so much before became a bit uncomfortable.
After Li Zimu left, Ren Qingli rested at home for two days before going to the department.
It was Monday, and everyone went to work normally after half a week of rest.
When Ren Qingli arrived, there were already several people in the room. Seeing Ren Qingli coming alone, everyone surrounded him. After learning that Li Zimu had gone abroad, everyone was very sad.
They couldn't help with the next thing, and it was up to Li Zimu himself.
At about nine o'clock, Su Yueming also came. When he came, his complexion was not very good. When he entered the department, after learning that Li Zimu was no longer there, his complexion became even uglier.
"My dad said that the group will be disbanded." Su Yueming was sitting at his desk. As soon as he said this, everyone who was busy stopped and looked back at him.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Yueming couldn't bear it anymore, and he said again: "My dad said that although our group has only been established for a month, a lot of things have happened, so now after thinking about it, we decided to disband the group. Where are you going?"
Su Yueming's words have obviously been beautified, and everyone can guess without him saying it. It is estimated that his father's original words are much worse than this.
In fact, this is not surprising. It has only been more than a month since their group was established, and in less than two months, several cases have been solved, but there are indeed many cases.
In the beginning, I will not talk about Sun Hai's case, and I will not mention Li Wenbin's matter for the time being. Let's talk about Huang Qunguang's matter later.
Originally, this was nothing more than a trivial matter, a civil dispute, but their team created a serial murder case.
Of course, they can't be blamed for this, but their group will indeed have trouble.
Coupled with the fact that Su Yueming had an accident before, it was only natural that the other party was unwilling to let Su Yueming come back.
After Su Yueming finished speaking, seeing that everyone still didn't speak, he was a little annoyed, "Aren't you going to say something? Could it be that the group really disbanded like this?"
"When will it be disbanded?" Ding Yixin opened her mouth.
"My dad said that it will be disbanded by the end of this month at the latest, and the dispatch letter from above should come out within this month."
Ding Yixin nodded, returned to her desk, and did not speak again.
Seeing this, Su Yueming was in a hurry. Did they really think it didn't matter if the group disbanded?
After learning from his father that the group was going to be disbanded, he kept trying to persuade his father not to do this, but the two had a big fight, but he still couldn't convince his father.
He secretly ran out of the hospital originally to discuss with everyone what to do, to think about countermeasures together, but in the end, everyone also had an indifferent expression, which made him very incomprehensible.
"Are you really indifferent?" Su Yueming stood up angrily.
Seeing that Su Yueming was really angry, Ding Yixin on the side said again: "Actually, this is quite good."
"What's wrong?" Su Yueming was annoyed, "I think our team is doing well now, isn't everyone cooperating very well?"
Everyone looked at Su Yueming, and after a long while, Hu Qing said, "Let's talk about this matter later, isn't it half a month?"
"Can……"
Su Yueming was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Tian He, "Li Zimu should have gone abroad, right? How is his going?"
Hearing Tian He mention Li Zimu, Su Yueming calmed down instantly.
He looked around the crowd and saw that everyone was silent. He opened his mouth and finally sat down without asking the question that was in his mind.
Now that Li Zimu is gone, will he come back?
It is already November, winter has already entered, and the weather is getting colder every day.
After a rain fell two days ago, everyone who was running around in short sleeves had to put on coats, but even so, they still couldn't resist the invasion of the cold.
It's okay to stay in the department, but if you go out for a walk, you'll be shivering from the cold.
"I can't get in touch these few days. They're a bit messed up. They say they won't let me get in touch." Ren Qingli finally opened his mouth. After Li Zimu left, the person who contacted Li Zimu most frequently was Ren Qingli.
The past few days were okay, he could still chat with the other party for a while, but Li Zimu was basically busy in the next few days, plus the time difference between the two places, after nearly a week, they only called each other a phone call.
The incident at the beginning was a big mess. With Li Zimu's return and Li Wenbin, one can imagine how chaotic it was.
When Li Zimu went back, the matter was re-investigated.
Although they have captured Li Wenbin now, Li Zimu's identity as the suspect has not been cleared, so after the investigation is resumed, Li Zimu is not allowed to contact outsiders at will.
Not only could he not contact outsiders at will, he was even monitored again. Although he was not locked up in a detention center, he was indeed asked to stay in the hotel and not go anywhere.Even his brother's situation over there is not good, and he is restrained everywhere.
After hearing the news, Ren Qingli was very upset for Li Zi, but he also knew that the current situation was not something they could decide.
But the good thing is that after they brought Li Wenbin back together, the matter was re-investigated, with new ideas, and it is said that the current progress is not bad.
However, it is still unknown when the investigation will be completed.
Several people in the department chatted a few more words about the situation at Li Zimu's side, and after getting a general understanding, they lowered their heads and went about their own business.
Because of the previous incident, because of Li Zimu's incident, their team does not have any cases now, so everyone is just sorting out the materials of previous cases at their desks or resting.
Thousands of miles away, on the public bench in front of the cathedral, Li Zimu huddled in a white down jacket he bought here.
November here is already a severe winter, with heavy snow blowing all over the sky, and only today is sunny after he has been out for a few days.
Before going abroad, their minds were all on Li Wenbin, and they didn't take into account the time difference and temperature difference here. After getting off the plane and coming out of the airport, the group of them were so cold that their lips were blue and purple, and they were looking for the nearest clothing store while shivering.
After a long period of turmoil, the people finally put together a thick suit of clothes.
Li Zimu, who rarely came out to take a breath, sat on the cool chair and looked at the cathedral in front of him. He exhaled whitely and looked at the pedestrians who kept coming and going.
November here is already a festive day approaching New Year's Day, and the New Year is coming, and more and more people come to church to worship every day.The streets are also full of smiling people, and it is lively.
Li Zimu was staring at the church in front of him in a daze, while Li Zilin had already run back with two cups of hot drinks.
After passing one of the cups with double sugar to Li Zimu, he held the cup with both hands and said, "Don't drink these things all the time. Drinking too much is bad for your health."
It's just that Li Zilin said so, but he himself hugged and drank non-stop.
Compared with the weather over there, the weather here is like going straight from autumn to severe winter. In the past few days, even if they stayed in the air-conditioned room, it was enough for them.
Li Zimu took a big sip of the milk tea and was about to say something when his nose felt cold.
He looked up at the sky, "It's snowing."
Hearing what he said, Li Zilin trembled instinctively, then stretched out his hand with his neck shrunk, and he was a little annoyed when he saw the white dot on the glove, "Go back!"
For the past few days Li Zimu has been asked to stay in the room and not allowed to come out. Today he managed to win some time to take him out for a walk, but it snowed again.
Li Zimu got up, and the two of them walked towards the hotel, one on the left and the other on the right.
"The investigation here is basically on the right track, and it may end in half a month." Li Zilin looked at the person next to him. He waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Li Zimu to speak.
After thinking for a while, Li Zilin simply said directly: "What are your plans for the next step, have you thought it over?"
Judging from the current investigation, it is very beneficial to Li Zimu. Li Wenbin did not hide it. After meeting Li Zimu and chatting for a while, he brought out all the original things.
At the beginning, he was responsible for the incident, and he killed the people. After killing people, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he waited until the ambulance and the police arrived, and then he mingled in the crowd and asked what happened.
This house was originally his, and there were many traces of him in it. He was very cooperative when the police checked him, which also prevented the police from spending too much time and effort on him.Coupled with the absence of his fingerprints at the scene of the crime, the police almost did not review the case a second time.
After restarting the investigation, the police found the bloody clothes that Li Wenbin had taken away from the crime scene at Li Wenbin's home, which made everything much easier.
The case was going on normally, but Li Zilin started to have another headache.
After the case progressed, he received quite a few invitations, all of which were about Li Zimu.
What to do next after Li Zimu gets rid of the suspicion is a problem. Many people have already offered him olive branches, hoping that he can go there.
"In addition to those invitation letters, there are a few former colleagues of yours who also sent you messages, hoping to get together." Li Zilin said.
It is not convenient for Li Zimu to pick up these things for the time being, so Li Zilin keeps them on his behalf, and he is very clear about this matter.
For those people who looked at all this indifferently, Li Zilin originally hated and hated it very much, but when he stood here and stood beside Li Zimu, that hatred faded away.
They didn't betray Li Zimu, they just didn't have a good relationship with Li Zimu.
Thinking of this, Li Zilin couldn't help but think of Ren Qingli and the others, there is only harm when there is a comparison, and he suddenly felt that this sentence was really appropriate.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Zilin hopes that Li Zimu can keep a distance from those people, preferably a long distance, but he also knows that if Li Zimu wants to continue in this circle, contact with these people is inevitable of.
"Are you going?"
Li Zimu fled with his neck shrunk, the snow fell harder and harder, and after a while his head was covered with snowflakes.
At the end of November, December, the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
Not only is it celebrating the New Year here, but it is also celebrating the New Year at their home.
In mid-December, there was also a snowfall at home, if that could be called a snowfall.
The snow fell for about two hours, and white spots fell from the sky, but before they fell on the ground, they turned into rain.Two hours later, the snow left little trace on the ground.
But even this little bit of snowflakes really chilled everyone.
I don't know why, but the weather this year is extremely cold. It's only mid-December, and it's not even November in the lunar calendar. Everyone has already taken out their thickest cotton-padded jackets.
In the department, the door was closed tightly, and Ding Yixin, who took out the warm baby and hugged her in her arms, also shrank her neck, "It's going to be Chinese New Year."
Everyone looked at the past, and the atmosphere of the year gradually became stronger, followed by the sadness of parting.
The group was supposed to be disbanded at the end of November, but because the disbandment was a bit sudden and there were some problems with dispatching, it dragged on for another ten days.
But the time has already been set. This week is their last week, and tomorrow is the last day.
After tomorrow they will go back to report, and the place will be quiet again.
"How about we have a hot pot?" Ding Yixin said again.
She was quite calm in the past few days, but on this last day, she was more sad and talkative than others.
"Okay, where do you go?" Hu Qing replied.
It's really good to eat hot pot in this kind of weather, and they probably won't have a chance to see each other again after tomorrow, so let's treat it as a farewell meal.
"Why don't we buy some things and just brush here?" Ding Yixin became playful.
"Here?" Several people looked at Ding Yixin.
"It's so comfortable here. Anyway, it's just us. We can buy what we want and eat whatever we like." Ding Yi said heartily.
In such a cold weather, Ding Yixin's words were still very attractive. A group of elders made up their minds and slapped their hands together, and they settled down like this.
But they don't have anything here, and they have to prepare a lot of things if they want to eat hot pot here. For the next half a day, everyone gathers together to figure out what to buy.
In the end, it was decided that Ren Qingli would bring the induction cooker and pots and pans, because he had his own car and lived not too far away, so it was convenient to go back and forth, and the rest of the people followed Ding Yixin to purchase.
The next day, when everyone entered the department with big bags and small bags against the cold wind, their faces were flushed from the cold.
After relaxing in the room for a while, Ding Yixin rolled up her sleeves and led a group of people to the utility room at the back to start washing and cutting vegetables to prepare.
In the middle of the work, Li Zimu called, and his investigation was completely over.
Knowing that Li Zimu has been cleared of suspicion and the investigation is over, everyone gathered around the phone and congratulated each other, and they quarreled lively for a while before quieting down.
It's just that although Li Zimu's investigation has ended, everyone didn't ask him when he would come back.
Although everyone was very unwilling, although everyone hoped that Li Zimu could come back, they also understood that staying outside was a better choice for Li Zimu.
If Li Zimu came back, they would be happy, but what about Li Zimu himself?
Their small department looked quite big from the front and back, but it was just a warehouse. Although the left side was remodeled by Ren Qingli to look good, the right side was still full of bookcases and materials.
Those materials are not used by the Municipal Bureau, and Li Zimu usually sorts them out. Do they want Li Zimu to come back and continue to sort them out?
Although cases are investigated everywhere, and human life is not important, Li Zimu should not be locked up in such a small place.
Li Zimu has a bright future, and he can go further on this road, because he is still young, and he still has a lot of time and opportunities.
During this period of time, everyone had already made up their minds that they would support Li Zimu no matter whether he came back or not, but they still didn't dare to ask for fear of putting pressure on Li Zimu.
Li Zimu is actually very easy to understand. If they really say more good things in his ears, tell him that they all want him to go back very much, and then play the emotional card with him and tell him that they miss him very much. It can't do without him, he must have run back dragging his suitcase.
That is to say, they were afraid that it would affect Li Zimu's decision-making, so everyone didn't even dare to ask.
As soon as the phone was hung up, everyone in the department immediately fell silent, and there was not even a cough for a long time.
"I heard from my dad that the higher-ups are preparing to set up a serious crime team recently, and they seem to be interested in letting you go over there." Su Yueming broke the silence.
Ren Qingli is actually quite capable. Although he almost offended all the people in the city bureau, the autopsy report he made was indeed more detailed and complete than others.
People in the bureau are also people who cherish talents. Of course, people like Ren Qingli will not let them go. He was transferred to Li Zimu before, in fact, it was just to silence other people. I hate it so much.
"Serious crime team?" Ren Qingli paused while washing the vegetables.
"are you going?"
"No." Ren Qingli shook his head resolutely, and continued to deal with the onion in his hand.
"Why?" Several people were surprised.
In fact, everyone is just incapable in this matter. If they have Li Zimu's ability and Ren Qingli's ability, how can they be willing to stay here?
With things like Li Zimu ahead, it's not like everyone didn't think about it. If they were Li Zimu, would they come back here again?
When you think about it, the answer is almost obvious, it's that none of them will come back.
Leaving aside the future and not mentioning it, just looking at reality, their average monthly salary in this small urban area is not enough for them to spend on their own, they are not Ren Qingli, they have a solid family, even out of this consideration they would Might not be back.
"I want to wait for Li Zimu to make a decision first." Ren Qingli said what he had already thought up.
"But what if he doesn't come back?"
Ren Qingli was silent for a while, and then said: "If he doesn't come back, then I won't do it here either."
If Li Zimu didn't come back, he must be abroad, and it would be meaningless for him to stay here alone.
"I might go there." Ren Qingli said.
Speaking of this, he had to thank his parents again.
After Li Zimu left, he confessed their affairs to his parents. The two had a big fight because of his affairs, and they had talked with him several times, but after a period of quarreling, they finally agreed reluctantly. up their business.
The two of them didn't say much about his desire to go abroad, but Ren Qingli followed him, and it was impossible for him to stay by Li Zimu's side at any time, so after he resigned here, he would take over the family business.
After hearing Ren Qingli's plan, everyone was silent again.
To a certain extent, everyone is still a little jealous. People like Ren Qingli who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths don't understand the bitterness of their lives at all.However, knowing that the two people will not be separated because of this, everyone is still sincerely happy.
After washing the dishes, Ding Yixin took the kitchen knife and went to the side to chop the vegetables. Ren Qingli saw that there was still space next to her, so she also took the vegetables over.
He didn't know where to get a scalpel out, and after gesturing at the little cabbage for a while, he began to cut according to the lines on it.
He was extraordinarily careful with every cut, as if cutting on a corpse, and held a bit of awe.
Seeing him like this, the people who had already gone to the side to adjust the seasoning felt their scalps go numb, and hurried forward to grab his scalpel, pushed him aside, and let him go to make the seasoning.
They came to wash the hot pot, not to study the corpse.They didn't want to leave any indelible and terrifying memories of this farewell meal.
Ren Qingli, who was pushed away in disgust, looked inexplicably at the crowd who suddenly became diligent.
003.
After thinking about it, he walked to the side glass house and took out a small electronic scale, then took the measuring cup and started to measure the seasonings aside.
The most important thing in hot pot is undoubtedly the seasoning. The hot pot with good seasoning is delicious. If there is no good seasoning, it is no different from boiled vegetables in plain water.
"What are you doing?" Ding Yixin turned around after cutting the vegetables in her hands, and saw Ren Qingli weighing salt with an electronic scale wearing gloves.
The white flower salt is like a fine stone, he is piling it up into a hill, and he is pouring it little by little with a spoon in one hand, for fear that it will exceed one point.
"Adjust the seasoning." Ren Qingli allocated a little energy.
Seeing Ren Qingli like this, everyone was speechless.
After a few people looked at each other, they walked forward, and one of them took a spoon from the side, taking advantage of Ren Qingli's inattention, and stuffed a bunch of chili monosodium glutamate into the bowl that he had already prepared a little bit.
Ren Qingli, who was originally nervous, collapsed when he saw the pile of extra things in his bowl.
"What are you doing!" Ren Qingli wished he could pick up a scalpel and slash a few people a few times, while the rest immediately turned around and ran away when they saw this.
After making a fuss for a while, things were finally brought to the table.
Mandarin duck hot pot, one fresh and one spicy.
After everything was served on the table, the combined table became very crowded, but it was very appetizing to watch.
"Then let's start eating?" After everything was ready, Ding Yixin looked at the others.
After the tossing, it's already past one o'clock. After the meal is finished and cleaned up, everyone is about to disperse.
Several people took off their aprons and gathered in the middle of the room. They said they were going to have dinner, but after thinking about the few people, no one moved their chopsticks. Instead, Hu Qing dropped his chopsticks and ran to the side, and took out a few from under his table. bottle of beer.
"We have nothing to do now, drinking some wine is not against the rules, right?" Hu Qing divided the beer.
One can per person, not much, but that’s what it means.
"Drinking during working hours, you will be punished." Ren Qingli still remembered the trouble Hu Qing made for him just now.
Hu Qing laughed when he heard the words, opened the can first and took a sip, and after just this sip, he himself shrank his neck from the cold, "Oh my god, it's too cold."
Seeing this, the few people who were eager to try it all got goosebumps all over their bodies.
After all, Ding Yixin was smart. She took warm water from the side and passed it. The soda can was already terribly icy, and the water inside seemed to be freezing again. If she just drank it like this, was she courting death or what?
"That's why you don't know how to drink. How can you drink with warm water." After Hu Qing got over the initial coldness, he continued to drink bravely.
But after he swallowed it, he couldn't help shivering again. Seeing him like this, everyone was instantly amused by him.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble. We'll leave after this meal. I won't say too much. Anyway, everyone, take care in the future and contact me when you have time." In the end, Ding Yixin took the initiative to speak, Raise a glass to this short encounter.
Seeing this, the rest of the people quickly grabbed their wine glasses and moved over.
After the wine glasses touched each other and made a crisp sound, they raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, a few people looked around for stools and were ready to sit down and have a meal, but someone started to look for bowls and chopsticks, "Do you have any chopsticks?"
Ding Yixin ate the cabbage in the bowl, and pointed to the counter next to her without looking back, "There seem to be two pairs of disposable chopsticks over there."
"There is no bowl." The person looking for the chopsticks looked at her nervously after taking the chopsticks back.
"Look for it yourself!" Ding Yixin is busy fighting with Xiaobaicai at the moment, and has no time to pay attention to him.
The rest of the people are in the same situation. In winter, the dishes in the pots and bowls are constantly steaming, making them devote all their attention to the hot pot.
"No." The man was in a hurry when he couldn't find the bowl.
"Then why don't you find a basin, it seems that there are two small basins left for washing vegetables." Ding Yixin said inarticulately.
All the hot pots that this group of people bought were brought by themselves, and it was normal to be missing something. She didn't even have salt before, so she bought it on the spur of the moment.
After that moment, the man fell silent. Ding Yixin raised her head after eating the steaming cabbage in the bowl. She wanted to see if the man had found the bowl, but when she looked up, she saw Li Zimu holding the bowl. A basin bigger than his face, looking for something to eat in it.
"Ahem..." Ding Yixin coughed violently.
The people sitting next to her were taken aback, "Eat slowly, and no one will grab you, why are you in such a hurry..."
"Li Zimu!" Ding Yixin threw away the bowl and chopsticks and jumped up.
Seeing Li Zimu bury her whole face in the basin, Ding Yixin should have thought it was funny, but her eyes immediately turned red.
"You bastard, you bastard, when did you come back!" Ding Yixin pushed the stool away, ran over and hugged the person, rubbing and hugging for a while.
After hearing Ding Yixin's words, everyone looked over there, seeing Li Zimu who suddenly appeared, and seeing his basin bigger than his face, everyone was amused and surprised, but more happy.
Li Zimu was still wearing a heavy white down jacket, the suitcase was placed not far from the table, and there were still some snowflakes on his head. It looked like he had just entered the door not long ago.
"When did you come in, why didn't we see it?" Hu Qing stepped forward and patted Li Zimu's shoulder.
They made a phone call just now, and Li Zimu didn't tell them that he was back at that time, so it's no wonder everyone was taken aback by his sudden appearance.
"When you are drinking." Li Zimu said.
He was so hungry, even though Ding Yixin hugged him, he still stuffed meatballs into his mouth.
After the incident over there, he immediately booked a plane ticket and returned to the country immediately. After getting off the plane, he made a phone call. After knowing that everyone was in the department, he directly took a taxi to come here.
As a result, when he finally arrived here, he found that everyone was already preparing to eat, but they didn't wait for him, and there were no bowls and chopsticks for him.
"You're starving, come here, sit here." Seeing Li Zimu shivering from the cold, Ding Yi felt distressed, and quickly pulled her own stool to let Li Zimu sit down.
In the end, he directed the people next to him to find a bowl for Li Zimu.The basin that Li Zimu found by himself was bigger than his face, and it didn't work at all.After instructing the people next to her, Ding Yixin directed them to get some hot soup for Li Zimu.
"Move to the side, to make room."
Everyone stood up and moved the stools to make room for Li Zimu.
Ren Qingli looked at the person sitting next to him, he was in a state of bewilderment, and he didn't come back to himself until Li Zimu sat down next to him.
Li Zimu noticed that Ren Qingli was looking at him, turned his head to show him a sweet smile, and then hurriedly buried his head to drink the soup.
Seeing that Li Zimu's fingers and nose were red from the cold, Ren Qingli's nose felt sore inexplicably, he turned his head and looked aside, and he recovered after a while before turning back.
"Why did you come back?" Ren Qingli really wanted to ask Li Zimu why he didn't tell him that the airport was some distance away, and he could drive to pick Li Zimu.
"Oh, by the way, I brought you a present." Li Zimu was reminded and immediately remembered this. He got up and went to the side to find the suitcase, but was held back by Ren Qingli.
"Get it later, you have something to eat first." Ren Qingli said.
The weather in foreign countries is much colder than here, and there are several degrees below zero at any time. Li Zimu stayed there for a long time, and his face and hands were red with cold.
"Yes, yes, eat first." The person next to him responded quickly, "Take it easy, it's very cold here."
When Li Zimu came, Ren Qingli took the separate chopsticks from the side, aimed at the edible cooked food in the pot, and filled his bowl to the brim.
If they saw Ren Qingli like this normally, everyone would definitely not be able to help but laugh at him, but now they don't care about it at all.
Li Zimu held the chopsticks and the bowl with both hands, watching the more and more things in the bowl, the happy smile on his face never stopped.
Everyone saw that Li Zimu ate half a bowl of food and warmed up, so they started asking questions. "How did you come back?"
"I came back with my brother." Li Zimu said, he knew what everyone wanted to ask, "I won't go out."
"Not going out, what do you mean? You are not going outside?"
"Then what are you going to do in the future, just stay in the country?"
"Does your brother know about this?"
"It's only been a few days for you to think about it, are you sure?"
Li Zimu put down his chopsticks. He rubbed his face and looked at the crowd with a smile. After everyone quieted down, Li Zimu looked at Ren Qingli who was beside him, "I've already decided that I will stay in the country and not go out. gone."
Before everyone could open their mouths, Li Zimu said again: "I received an invitation from people in China, saying that they want to set up a serious crime team. The nature is the same as where I was before. It's just for the country. Anyway, it's the same everywhere. I'm back."
"Crime crime team?" Everyone was surprised.
"Well, he said he wanted me to be the person in charge." Li Zimu puffed up his chest, he was still the team leader!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was better to be in the country than outside, and they could still meet in the country.
"Then you are going to another place again?" Su Yueming realized.
"No." Li Zimu looked blank, "Don't you know yet? It's strange, it should have been notified!"
"What?" Everyone was at a loss.
"The serious crime team is here." Li Zimu pointed to the position under his feet, as a matter of course, "I am the captain, of course I have the final say."
Everyone was surprised, they hadn't heard of this matter yet.
"But we won't be able to call it a special operations team outside the establishment in the future." Li Zimu nodded seriously.
"us?"
"That's called the serious crime team outside the establishment? It seems weird." Li Zimu poked a fish ball into his mouth.
"What do we mean?" Everyone was anxious.
"Just plain..." Li Zimu was speechless.
"Don't eat it, make it clear." Everyone was anxious and wanted to grab Li Zimu's bowls and chopsticks.
At the side, Ren Qingli stretched out his hand to stop the crowd, and put the plum wood bowl in front of him, "Okay, let's stop talking about this, let's eat first, if you cook it, it will rot, anyway, everyone will come back Now, there is plenty of time to ask questions slowly, not too late."
Although everyone was still a little unwilling, but looking at Li Zimu's bulging cheeks, everyone had no choice but to hold back.
"But when it comes to the serious crimes team, didn't someone just say he was going to resign?" Su Yueming reminded coolly.
"So, I just heard someone say that they want to resign." Everyone calmed down and turned to Ren Qingli.
"Resign?" Li Zimu stared at the crowd with wide eyes, "Who wants to resign? Why do you want to leave?"
"It's someone who said he wants to go back and inherit the family business—"
"Hurry up and eat your food!" Ren Qingli stood up and glared viciously at the person who was about to speak.
He had a spoon and chopsticks in one hand, and if anyone dared to say a word, he would beat him to death with the spoon.
"Ren Qingli, are you going to resign?" Li Zimu looked at Ren Qingli nervously, "Why? This place is very good!"
He doesn't want Ren Qingli to resign, he can feel more at ease with Ren Qingli by his side for investigation, and he is used to having someone around him who will always open his screen at him from time to time, if he suddenly disappears, he will definitely be very lonely I won't get used to it.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, I didn't want to resign. I like this job very much, and I want to do it for the rest of my life, so how could I resign." Ren Qingli hurriedly explained, with Li Zimu around, how could he resign?
"Oh." Li Zimu heaved a sigh of relief, and poked a ball into his mouth again, "It's fine if you don't resign, I don't know what to do if you're not here."
Listening to Li Zimu's sincere and provocative words, Ren Qingli's eyes revealed soft light, "As long as I have your words, I will accompany you wherever I go."
"Yo yo yo..." The people next to me couldn't help but screamed strangely.
Ren Qingli's expression changed in a blink of an eye, he gave everyone a cold look, then got up and scooped up all the meatballs in the pot into Li Zimu's bowl, "You like meatballs, eat slowly, they don't like it , I’ll give you all the balls.”
It was only after hearing Ren Qingli's words that everyone came to their senses. They were still eating at the moment. Seeing that everything in the pot was about to be taken away, everyone quickly got up to grab the spoons.
With Ren Qingli around, it is estimated that there is nothing they like to eat in this pot.
The crowd was noisy and noisy, and they ate this meal for several hours, until they couldn't hold any more in their stomachs, and then they lay lazily on the stool and watched the time pass by without moving.
December, January, the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve dinner, hot pot, and glutinous rice balls, everyone made appointments until the Lantern Festival in the coming year.
This winter, which was gloomy, wet and cold, has become less annoying in the rising smoke, on the contrary, it has a little more warm atmosphere.
A night without dreams until dawn.
The genius was slightly bright, and there was a hasty knock on the door, the two of them were awakened, and Li Zimu put on his clothes in a little embarrassment and went to open the door.
The person who knocked on the door was his elder brother, who was looking at him with a dark face at the moment.
Seeing Li Zimu's disheveled and disheveled appearance, he almost immediately understood why Li Zimu didn't answer his call.
"You're still sleeping, it's getting dark." Li Zilin was amused and a little annoyed, "I sent someone to pick you up, but you didn't answer my phone calls. I thought something happened to you."
Li Zimu looked out the window, only to realize that it was past eleven o'clock.
"Pick up your things and come down quickly, your parents are still waiting for you to eat." Li Zilin didn't enter the house, and after glancing at the direction of the bedroom, he went downstairs first.
Seeing this, Li Zimu hurried to the bedroom while getting dressed, entered the room, saw that Ren Qingli was still lying on the bed, he rushed to kiss him good morning, then opened the closet and started looking for clothes.
"Do you want to go with me?" Li Zimu asked without looking back while changing his clothes.
Ren Qingli who was lying on the bed moved, he shook his head, "Next time!"
He wanted to go, but the current situation didn't allow it, he was so weak that he didn't want to move at all.
After getting dressed, Li Zimu took the key and ran out the door. Seeing this, Ren Qingli hurriedly stopped him and threw his cell phone over, "Be careful on the road."
After a period of chaos, Li Zimu rushed downstairs with his messy hair.
After Li Zimu left, he never came back. He originally planned to come back after going home to spend a few days with his parents, but on the second day after he returned home, news came from his brother, and someone from Li Wenbin came. up.
When someone came from above, Li Zimu naturally had to go with him, because it was too hasty, Li Zimu didn't even have time to come back to pick up his luggage, and Li Zilin sent someone to Ren Qingli to take away the things.
Li Zimu doesn't have a lot of luggage. In order to facilitate transfer at any time, he only has one suitcase in total. Because he doesn't know what Li Zimu will bring, so when he helped pack the luggage, Ren Qingli packed all his things. Put it in the box.
He didn't feel it when he packed his things, he just felt a little distressed at that time, because there were so few things in Li Zimu.
When the suitcase was taken away and there was no more plum wood in the room, Ren Qingli lay down on the empty bed in a daze, and began to experience the loneliness and loss.
Before Li Zimu came, his house was as empty as it is now, but at that time he didn't feel that he liked this simplicity, but now that Li Zimu came and left, he always felt that he was not pleasing to look at.
Without Li Zimu, the whole house was empty and cold, and even the quietness he enjoyed so much before became a bit uncomfortable.
After Li Zimu left, Ren Qingli rested at home for two days before going to the department.
It was Monday, and everyone went to work normally after half a week of rest.
When Ren Qingli arrived, there were already several people in the room. Seeing Ren Qingli coming alone, everyone surrounded him. After learning that Li Zimu had gone abroad, everyone was very sad.
They couldn't help with the next thing, and it was up to Li Zimu himself.
At about nine o'clock, Su Yueming also came. When he came, his complexion was not very good. When he entered the department, after learning that Li Zimu was no longer there, his complexion became even uglier.
"My dad said that the group will be disbanded." Su Yueming was sitting at his desk. As soon as he said this, everyone who was busy stopped and looked back at him.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Yueming couldn't bear it anymore, and he said again: "My dad said that although our group has only been established for a month, a lot of things have happened, so now after thinking about it, we decided to disband the group. Where are you going?"
Su Yueming's words have obviously been beautified, and everyone can guess without him saying it. It is estimated that his father's original words are much worse than this.
In fact, this is not surprising. It has only been more than a month since their group was established, and in less than two months, several cases have been solved, but there are indeed many cases.
In the beginning, I will not talk about Sun Hai's case, and I will not mention Li Wenbin's matter for the time being. Let's talk about Huang Qunguang's matter later.
Originally, this was nothing more than a trivial matter, a civil dispute, but their team created a serial murder case.
Of course, they can't be blamed for this, but their group will indeed have trouble.
Coupled with the fact that Su Yueming had an accident before, it was only natural that the other party was unwilling to let Su Yueming come back.
After Su Yueming finished speaking, seeing that everyone still didn't speak, he was a little annoyed, "Aren't you going to say something? Could it be that the group really disbanded like this?"
"When will it be disbanded?" Ding Yixin opened her mouth.
"My dad said that it will be disbanded by the end of this month at the latest, and the dispatch letter from above should come out within this month."
Ding Yixin nodded, returned to her desk, and did not speak again.
Seeing this, Su Yueming was in a hurry. Did they really think it didn't matter if the group disbanded?
After learning from his father that the group was going to be disbanded, he kept trying to persuade his father not to do this, but the two had a big fight, but he still couldn't convince his father.
He secretly ran out of the hospital originally to discuss with everyone what to do, to think about countermeasures together, but in the end, everyone also had an indifferent expression, which made him very incomprehensible.
"Are you really indifferent?" Su Yueming stood up angrily.
Seeing that Su Yueming was really angry, Ding Yixin on the side said again: "Actually, this is quite good."
"What's wrong?" Su Yueming was annoyed, "I think our team is doing well now, isn't everyone cooperating very well?"
Everyone looked at Su Yueming, and after a long while, Hu Qing said, "Let's talk about this matter later, isn't it half a month?"
"Can……"
Su Yueming was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Tian He, "Li Zimu should have gone abroad, right? How is his going?"
Hearing Tian He mention Li Zimu, Su Yueming calmed down instantly.
He looked around the crowd and saw that everyone was silent. He opened his mouth and finally sat down without asking the question that was in his mind.
Now that Li Zimu is gone, will he come back?
It is already November, winter has already entered, and the weather is getting colder every day.
After a rain fell two days ago, everyone who was running around in short sleeves had to put on coats, but even so, they still couldn't resist the invasion of the cold.
It's okay to stay in the department, but if you go out for a walk, you'll be shivering from the cold.
"I can't get in touch these few days. They're a bit messed up. They say they won't let me get in touch." Ren Qingli finally opened his mouth. After Li Zimu left, the person who contacted Li Zimu most frequently was Ren Qingli.
The past few days were okay, he could still chat with the other party for a while, but Li Zimu was basically busy in the next few days, plus the time difference between the two places, after nearly a week, they only called each other a phone call.
The incident at the beginning was a big mess. With Li Zimu's return and Li Wenbin, one can imagine how chaotic it was.
When Li Zimu went back, the matter was re-investigated.
Although they have captured Li Wenbin now, Li Zimu's identity as the suspect has not been cleared, so after the investigation is resumed, Li Zimu is not allowed to contact outsiders at will.
Not only could he not contact outsiders at will, he was even monitored again. Although he was not locked up in a detention center, he was indeed asked to stay in the hotel and not go anywhere.Even his brother's situation over there is not good, and he is restrained everywhere.
After hearing the news, Ren Qingli was very upset for Li Zi, but he also knew that the current situation was not something they could decide.
But the good thing is that after they brought Li Wenbin back together, the matter was re-investigated, with new ideas, and it is said that the current progress is not bad.
However, it is still unknown when the investigation will be completed.
Several people in the department chatted a few more words about the situation at Li Zimu's side, and after getting a general understanding, they lowered their heads and went about their own business.
Because of the previous incident, because of Li Zimu's incident, their team does not have any cases now, so everyone is just sorting out the materials of previous cases at their desks or resting.
Thousands of miles away, on the public bench in front of the cathedral, Li Zimu huddled in a white down jacket he bought here.
November here is already a severe winter, with heavy snow blowing all over the sky, and only today is sunny after he has been out for a few days.
Before going abroad, their minds were all on Li Wenbin, and they didn't take into account the time difference and temperature difference here. After getting off the plane and coming out of the airport, the group of them were so cold that their lips were blue and purple, and they were looking for the nearest clothing store while shivering.
After a long period of turmoil, the people finally put together a thick suit of clothes.
Li Zimu, who rarely came out to take a breath, sat on the cool chair and looked at the cathedral in front of him. He exhaled whitely and looked at the pedestrians who kept coming and going.
November here is already a festive day approaching New Year's Day, and the New Year is coming, and more and more people come to church to worship every day.The streets are also full of smiling people, and it is lively.
Li Zimu was staring at the church in front of him in a daze, while Li Zilin had already run back with two cups of hot drinks.
After passing one of the cups with double sugar to Li Zimu, he held the cup with both hands and said, "Don't drink these things all the time. Drinking too much is bad for your health."
It's just that Li Zilin said so, but he himself hugged and drank non-stop.
Compared with the weather over there, the weather here is like going straight from autumn to severe winter. In the past few days, even if they stayed in the air-conditioned room, it was enough for them.
Li Zimu took a big sip of the milk tea and was about to say something when his nose felt cold.
He looked up at the sky, "It's snowing."
Hearing what he said, Li Zilin trembled instinctively, then stretched out his hand with his neck shrunk, and he was a little annoyed when he saw the white dot on the glove, "Go back!"
For the past few days Li Zimu has been asked to stay in the room and not allowed to come out. Today he managed to win some time to take him out for a walk, but it snowed again.
Li Zimu got up, and the two of them walked towards the hotel, one on the left and the other on the right.
"The investigation here is basically on the right track, and it may end in half a month." Li Zilin looked at the person next to him. He waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Li Zimu to speak.
After thinking for a while, Li Zilin simply said directly: "What are your plans for the next step, have you thought it over?"
Judging from the current investigation, it is very beneficial to Li Zimu. Li Wenbin did not hide it. After meeting Li Zimu and chatting for a while, he brought out all the original things.
At the beginning, he was responsible for the incident, and he killed the people. After killing people, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he waited until the ambulance and the police arrived, and then he mingled in the crowd and asked what happened.
This house was originally his, and there were many traces of him in it. He was very cooperative when the police checked him, which also prevented the police from spending too much time and effort on him.Coupled with the absence of his fingerprints at the scene of the crime, the police almost did not review the case a second time.
After restarting the investigation, the police found the bloody clothes that Li Wenbin had taken away from the crime scene at Li Wenbin's home, which made everything much easier.
The case was going on normally, but Li Zilin started to have another headache.
After the case progressed, he received quite a few invitations, all of which were about Li Zimu.
What to do next after Li Zimu gets rid of the suspicion is a problem. Many people have already offered him olive branches, hoping that he can go there.
"In addition to those invitation letters, there are a few former colleagues of yours who also sent you messages, hoping to get together." Li Zilin said.
It is not convenient for Li Zimu to pick up these things for the time being, so Li Zilin keeps them on his behalf, and he is very clear about this matter.
For those people who looked at all this indifferently, Li Zilin originally hated and hated it very much, but when he stood here and stood beside Li Zimu, that hatred faded away.
They didn't betray Li Zimu, they just didn't have a good relationship with Li Zimu.
Thinking of this, Li Zilin couldn't help but think of Ren Qingli and the others, there is only harm when there is a comparison, and he suddenly felt that this sentence was really appropriate.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Zilin hopes that Li Zimu can keep a distance from those people, preferably a long distance, but he also knows that if Li Zimu wants to continue in this circle, contact with these people is inevitable of.
"Are you going?"
Li Zimu fled with his neck shrunk, the snow fell harder and harder, and after a while his head was covered with snowflakes.
At the end of November, December, the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
Not only is it celebrating the New Year here, but it is also celebrating the New Year at their home.
In mid-December, there was also a snowfall at home, if that could be called a snowfall.
The snow fell for about two hours, and white spots fell from the sky, but before they fell on the ground, they turned into rain.Two hours later, the snow left little trace on the ground.
But even this little bit of snowflakes really chilled everyone.
I don't know why, but the weather this year is extremely cold. It's only mid-December, and it's not even November in the lunar calendar. Everyone has already taken out their thickest cotton-padded jackets.
In the department, the door was closed tightly, and Ding Yixin, who took out the warm baby and hugged her in her arms, also shrank her neck, "It's going to be Chinese New Year."
Everyone looked at the past, and the atmosphere of the year gradually became stronger, followed by the sadness of parting.
The group was supposed to be disbanded at the end of November, but because the disbandment was a bit sudden and there were some problems with dispatching, it dragged on for another ten days.
But the time has already been set. This week is their last week, and tomorrow is the last day.
After tomorrow they will go back to report, and the place will be quiet again.
"How about we have a hot pot?" Ding Yixin said again.
She was quite calm in the past few days, but on this last day, she was more sad and talkative than others.
"Okay, where do you go?" Hu Qing replied.
It's really good to eat hot pot in this kind of weather, and they probably won't have a chance to see each other again after tomorrow, so let's treat it as a farewell meal.
"Why don't we buy some things and just brush here?" Ding Yixin became playful.
"Here?" Several people looked at Ding Yixin.
"It's so comfortable here. Anyway, it's just us. We can buy what we want and eat whatever we like." Ding Yi said heartily.
In such a cold weather, Ding Yixin's words were still very attractive. A group of elders made up their minds and slapped their hands together, and they settled down like this.
But they don't have anything here, and they have to prepare a lot of things if they want to eat hot pot here. For the next half a day, everyone gathers together to figure out what to buy.
In the end, it was decided that Ren Qingli would bring the induction cooker and pots and pans, because he had his own car and lived not too far away, so it was convenient to go back and forth, and the rest of the people followed Ding Yixin to purchase.
The next day, when everyone entered the department with big bags and small bags against the cold wind, their faces were flushed from the cold.
After relaxing in the room for a while, Ding Yixin rolled up her sleeves and led a group of people to the utility room at the back to start washing and cutting vegetables to prepare.
In the middle of the work, Li Zimu called, and his investigation was completely over.
Knowing that Li Zimu has been cleared of suspicion and the investigation is over, everyone gathered around the phone and congratulated each other, and they quarreled lively for a while before quieting down.
It's just that although Li Zimu's investigation has ended, everyone didn't ask him when he would come back.
Although everyone was very unwilling, although everyone hoped that Li Zimu could come back, they also understood that staying outside was a better choice for Li Zimu.
If Li Zimu came back, they would be happy, but what about Li Zimu himself?
Their small department looked quite big from the front and back, but it was just a warehouse. Although the left side was remodeled by Ren Qingli to look good, the right side was still full of bookcases and materials.
Those materials are not used by the Municipal Bureau, and Li Zimu usually sorts them out. Do they want Li Zimu to come back and continue to sort them out?
Although cases are investigated everywhere, and human life is not important, Li Zimu should not be locked up in such a small place.
Li Zimu has a bright future, and he can go further on this road, because he is still young, and he still has a lot of time and opportunities.
During this period of time, everyone had already made up their minds that they would support Li Zimu no matter whether he came back or not, but they still didn't dare to ask for fear of putting pressure on Li Zimu.
Li Zimu is actually very easy to understand. If they really say more good things in his ears, tell him that they all want him to go back very much, and then play the emotional card with him and tell him that they miss him very much. It can't do without him, he must have run back dragging his suitcase.
That is to say, they were afraid that it would affect Li Zimu's decision-making, so everyone didn't even dare to ask.
As soon as the phone was hung up, everyone in the department immediately fell silent, and there was not even a cough for a long time.
"I heard from my dad that the higher-ups are preparing to set up a serious crime team recently, and they seem to be interested in letting you go over there." Su Yueming broke the silence.
Ren Qingli is actually quite capable. Although he almost offended all the people in the city bureau, the autopsy report he made was indeed more detailed and complete than others.
People in the bureau are also people who cherish talents. Of course, people like Ren Qingli will not let them go. He was transferred to Li Zimu before, in fact, it was just to silence other people. I hate it so much.
"Serious crime team?" Ren Qingli paused while washing the vegetables.
"are you going?"
"No." Ren Qingli shook his head resolutely, and continued to deal with the onion in his hand.
"Why?" Several people were surprised.
In fact, everyone is just incapable in this matter. If they have Li Zimu's ability and Ren Qingli's ability, how can they be willing to stay here?
With things like Li Zimu ahead, it's not like everyone didn't think about it. If they were Li Zimu, would they come back here again?
When you think about it, the answer is almost obvious, it's that none of them will come back.
Leaving aside the future and not mentioning it, just looking at reality, their average monthly salary in this small urban area is not enough for them to spend on their own, they are not Ren Qingli, they have a solid family, even out of this consideration they would Might not be back.
"I want to wait for Li Zimu to make a decision first." Ren Qingli said what he had already thought up.
"But what if he doesn't come back?"
Ren Qingli was silent for a while, and then said: "If he doesn't come back, then I won't do it here either."
If Li Zimu didn't come back, he must be abroad, and it would be meaningless for him to stay here alone.
"I might go there." Ren Qingli said.
Speaking of this, he had to thank his parents again.
After Li Zimu left, he confessed their affairs to his parents. The two had a big fight because of his affairs, and they had talked with him several times, but after a period of quarreling, they finally agreed reluctantly. up their business.
The two of them didn't say much about his desire to go abroad, but Ren Qingli followed him, and it was impossible for him to stay by Li Zimu's side at any time, so after he resigned here, he would take over the family business.
After hearing Ren Qingli's plan, everyone was silent again.
To a certain extent, everyone is still a little jealous. People like Ren Qingli who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths don't understand the bitterness of their lives at all.However, knowing that the two people will not be separated because of this, everyone is still sincerely happy.
After washing the dishes, Ding Yixin took the kitchen knife and went to the side to chop the vegetables. Ren Qingli saw that there was still space next to her, so she also took the vegetables over.
He didn't know where to get a scalpel out, and after gesturing at the little cabbage for a while, he began to cut according to the lines on it.
He was extraordinarily careful with every cut, as if cutting on a corpse, and held a bit of awe.
Seeing him like this, the people who had already gone to the side to adjust the seasoning felt their scalps go numb, and hurried forward to grab his scalpel, pushed him aside, and let him go to make the seasoning.
They came to wash the hot pot, not to study the corpse.They didn't want to leave any indelible and terrifying memories of this farewell meal.
Ren Qingli, who was pushed away in disgust, looked inexplicably at the crowd who suddenly became diligent.
003.
After thinking about it, he walked to the side glass house and took out a small electronic scale, then took the measuring cup and started to measure the seasonings aside.
The most important thing in hot pot is undoubtedly the seasoning. The hot pot with good seasoning is delicious. If there is no good seasoning, it is no different from boiled vegetables in plain water.
"What are you doing?" Ding Yixin turned around after cutting the vegetables in her hands, and saw Ren Qingli weighing salt with an electronic scale wearing gloves.
The white flower salt is like a fine stone, he is piling it up into a hill, and he is pouring it little by little with a spoon in one hand, for fear that it will exceed one point.
"Adjust the seasoning." Ren Qingli allocated a little energy.
Seeing Ren Qingli like this, everyone was speechless.
After a few people looked at each other, they walked forward, and one of them took a spoon from the side, taking advantage of Ren Qingli's inattention, and stuffed a bunch of chili monosodium glutamate into the bowl that he had already prepared a little bit.
Ren Qingli, who was originally nervous, collapsed when he saw the pile of extra things in his bowl.
"What are you doing!" Ren Qingli wished he could pick up a scalpel and slash a few people a few times, while the rest immediately turned around and ran away when they saw this.
After making a fuss for a while, things were finally brought to the table.
Mandarin duck hot pot, one fresh and one spicy.
After everything was served on the table, the combined table became very crowded, but it was very appetizing to watch.
"Then let's start eating?" After everything was ready, Ding Yixin looked at the others.
After the tossing, it's already past one o'clock. After the meal is finished and cleaned up, everyone is about to disperse.
Several people took off their aprons and gathered in the middle of the room. They said they were going to have dinner, but after thinking about the few people, no one moved their chopsticks. Instead, Hu Qing dropped his chopsticks and ran to the side, and took out a few from under his table. bottle of beer.
"We have nothing to do now, drinking some wine is not against the rules, right?" Hu Qing divided the beer.
One can per person, not much, but that’s what it means.
"Drinking during working hours, you will be punished." Ren Qingli still remembered the trouble Hu Qing made for him just now.
Hu Qing laughed when he heard the words, opened the can first and took a sip, and after just this sip, he himself shrank his neck from the cold, "Oh my god, it's too cold."
Seeing this, the few people who were eager to try it all got goosebumps all over their bodies.
After all, Ding Yixin was smart. She took warm water from the side and passed it. The soda can was already terribly icy, and the water inside seemed to be freezing again. If she just drank it like this, was she courting death or what?
"That's why you don't know how to drink. How can you drink with warm water." After Hu Qing got over the initial coldness, he continued to drink bravely.
But after he swallowed it, he couldn't help shivering again. Seeing him like this, everyone was instantly amused by him.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble. We'll leave after this meal. I won't say too much. Anyway, everyone, take care in the future and contact me when you have time." In the end, Ding Yixin took the initiative to speak, Raise a glass to this short encounter.
Seeing this, the rest of the people quickly grabbed their wine glasses and moved over.
After the wine glasses touched each other and made a crisp sound, they raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, a few people looked around for stools and were ready to sit down and have a meal, but someone started to look for bowls and chopsticks, "Do you have any chopsticks?"
Ding Yixin ate the cabbage in the bowl, and pointed to the counter next to her without looking back, "There seem to be two pairs of disposable chopsticks over there."
"There is no bowl." The person looking for the chopsticks looked at her nervously after taking the chopsticks back.
"Look for it yourself!" Ding Yixin is busy fighting with Xiaobaicai at the moment, and has no time to pay attention to him.
The rest of the people are in the same situation. In winter, the dishes in the pots and bowls are constantly steaming, making them devote all their attention to the hot pot.
"No." The man was in a hurry when he couldn't find the bowl.
"Then why don't you find a basin, it seems that there are two small basins left for washing vegetables." Ding Yixin said inarticulately.
All the hot pots that this group of people bought were brought by themselves, and it was normal to be missing something. She didn't even have salt before, so she bought it on the spur of the moment.
After that moment, the man fell silent. Ding Yixin raised her head after eating the steaming cabbage in the bowl. She wanted to see if the man had found the bowl, but when she looked up, she saw Li Zimu holding the bowl. A basin bigger than his face, looking for something to eat in it.
"Ahem..." Ding Yixin coughed violently.
The people sitting next to her were taken aback, "Eat slowly, and no one will grab you, why are you in such a hurry..."
"Li Zimu!" Ding Yixin threw away the bowl and chopsticks and jumped up.
Seeing Li Zimu bury her whole face in the basin, Ding Yixin should have thought it was funny, but her eyes immediately turned red.
"You bastard, you bastard, when did you come back!" Ding Yixin pushed the stool away, ran over and hugged the person, rubbing and hugging for a while.
After hearing Ding Yixin's words, everyone looked over there, seeing Li Zimu who suddenly appeared, and seeing his basin bigger than his face, everyone was amused and surprised, but more happy.
Li Zimu was still wearing a heavy white down jacket, the suitcase was placed not far from the table, and there were still some snowflakes on his head. It looked like he had just entered the door not long ago.
"When did you come in, why didn't we see it?" Hu Qing stepped forward and patted Li Zimu's shoulder.
They made a phone call just now, and Li Zimu didn't tell them that he was back at that time, so it's no wonder everyone was taken aback by his sudden appearance.
"When you are drinking." Li Zimu said.
He was so hungry, even though Ding Yixin hugged him, he still stuffed meatballs into his mouth.
After the incident over there, he immediately booked a plane ticket and returned to the country immediately. After getting off the plane, he made a phone call. After knowing that everyone was in the department, he directly took a taxi to come here.
As a result, when he finally arrived here, he found that everyone was already preparing to eat, but they didn't wait for him, and there were no bowls and chopsticks for him.
"You're starving, come here, sit here." Seeing Li Zimu shivering from the cold, Ding Yi felt distressed, and quickly pulled her own stool to let Li Zimu sit down.
In the end, he directed the people next to him to find a bowl for Li Zimu.The basin that Li Zimu found by himself was bigger than his face, and it didn't work at all.After instructing the people next to her, Ding Yixin directed them to get some hot soup for Li Zimu.
"Move to the side, to make room."
Everyone stood up and moved the stools to make room for Li Zimu.
Ren Qingli looked at the person sitting next to him, he was in a state of bewilderment, and he didn't come back to himself until Li Zimu sat down next to him.
Li Zimu noticed that Ren Qingli was looking at him, turned his head to show him a sweet smile, and then hurriedly buried his head to drink the soup.
Seeing that Li Zimu's fingers and nose were red from the cold, Ren Qingli's nose felt sore inexplicably, he turned his head and looked aside, and he recovered after a while before turning back.
"Why did you come back?" Ren Qingli really wanted to ask Li Zimu why he didn't tell him that the airport was some distance away, and he could drive to pick Li Zimu.
"Oh, by the way, I brought you a present." Li Zimu was reminded and immediately remembered this. He got up and went to the side to find the suitcase, but was held back by Ren Qingli.
"Get it later, you have something to eat first." Ren Qingli said.
The weather in foreign countries is much colder than here, and there are several degrees below zero at any time. Li Zimu stayed there for a long time, and his face and hands were red with cold.
"Yes, yes, eat first." The person next to him responded quickly, "Take it easy, it's very cold here."
When Li Zimu came, Ren Qingli took the separate chopsticks from the side, aimed at the edible cooked food in the pot, and filled his bowl to the brim.
If they saw Ren Qingli like this normally, everyone would definitely not be able to help but laugh at him, but now they don't care about it at all.
Li Zimu held the chopsticks and the bowl with both hands, watching the more and more things in the bowl, the happy smile on his face never stopped.
Everyone saw that Li Zimu ate half a bowl of food and warmed up, so they started asking questions. "How did you come back?"
"I came back with my brother." Li Zimu said, he knew what everyone wanted to ask, "I won't go out."
"Not going out, what do you mean? You are not going outside?"
"Then what are you going to do in the future, just stay in the country?"
"Does your brother know about this?"
"It's only been a few days for you to think about it, are you sure?"
Li Zimu put down his chopsticks. He rubbed his face and looked at the crowd with a smile. After everyone quieted down, Li Zimu looked at Ren Qingli who was beside him, "I've already decided that I will stay in the country and not go out. gone."
Before everyone could open their mouths, Li Zimu said again: "I received an invitation from people in China, saying that they want to set up a serious crime team. The nature is the same as where I was before. It's just for the country. Anyway, it's the same everywhere. I'm back."
"Crime crime team?" Everyone was surprised.
"Well, he said he wanted me to be the person in charge." Li Zimu puffed up his chest, he was still the team leader!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was better to be in the country than outside, and they could still meet in the country.
"Then you are going to another place again?" Su Yueming realized.
"No." Li Zimu looked blank, "Don't you know yet? It's strange, it should have been notified!"
"What?" Everyone was at a loss.
"The serious crime team is here." Li Zimu pointed to the position under his feet, as a matter of course, "I am the captain, of course I have the final say."
Everyone was surprised, they hadn't heard of this matter yet.
"But we won't be able to call it a special operations team outside the establishment in the future." Li Zimu nodded seriously.
"us?"
"That's called the serious crime team outside the establishment? It seems weird." Li Zimu poked a fish ball into his mouth.
"What do we mean?" Everyone was anxious.
"Just plain..." Li Zimu was speechless.
"Don't eat it, make it clear." Everyone was anxious and wanted to grab Li Zimu's bowls and chopsticks.
At the side, Ren Qingli stretched out his hand to stop the crowd, and put the plum wood bowl in front of him, "Okay, let's stop talking about this, let's eat first, if you cook it, it will rot, anyway, everyone will come back Now, there is plenty of time to ask questions slowly, not too late."
Although everyone was still a little unwilling, but looking at Li Zimu's bulging cheeks, everyone had no choice but to hold back.
"But when it comes to the serious crimes team, didn't someone just say he was going to resign?" Su Yueming reminded coolly.
"So, I just heard someone say that they want to resign." Everyone calmed down and turned to Ren Qingli.
"Resign?" Li Zimu stared at the crowd with wide eyes, "Who wants to resign? Why do you want to leave?"
"It's someone who said he wants to go back and inherit the family business—"
"Hurry up and eat your food!" Ren Qingli stood up and glared viciously at the person who was about to speak.
He had a spoon and chopsticks in one hand, and if anyone dared to say a word, he would beat him to death with the spoon.
"Ren Qingli, are you going to resign?" Li Zimu looked at Ren Qingli nervously, "Why? This place is very good!"
He doesn't want Ren Qingli to resign, he can feel more at ease with Ren Qingli by his side for investigation, and he is used to having someone around him who will always open his screen at him from time to time, if he suddenly disappears, he will definitely be very lonely I won't get used to it.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, I didn't want to resign. I like this job very much, and I want to do it for the rest of my life, so how could I resign." Ren Qingli hurriedly explained, with Li Zimu around, how could he resign?
"Oh." Li Zimu heaved a sigh of relief, and poked a ball into his mouth again, "It's fine if you don't resign, I don't know what to do if you're not here."
Listening to Li Zimu's sincere and provocative words, Ren Qingli's eyes revealed soft light, "As long as I have your words, I will accompany you wherever I go."
"Yo yo yo..." The people next to me couldn't help but screamed strangely.
Ren Qingli's expression changed in a blink of an eye, he gave everyone a cold look, then got up and scooped up all the meatballs in the pot into Li Zimu's bowl, "You like meatballs, eat slowly, they don't like it , I’ll give you all the balls.”
It was only after hearing Ren Qingli's words that everyone came to their senses. They were still eating at the moment. Seeing that everything in the pot was about to be taken away, everyone quickly got up to grab the spoons.
With Ren Qingli around, it is estimated that there is nothing they like to eat in this pot.
The crowd was noisy and noisy, and they ate this meal for several hours, until they couldn't hold any more in their stomachs, and then they lay lazily on the stool and watched the time pass by without moving.
December, January, the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve dinner, hot pot, and glutinous rice balls, everyone made appointments until the Lantern Festival in the coming year.
This winter, which was gloomy, wet and cold, has become less annoying in the rising smoke, on the contrary, it has a little more warm atmosphere.
