Two days later.
Arsenal Street, HK Police Headquarters.
Lin Yue walked into the room from outside, including He Weilan, Huang Ling... everyone in the room stood up.
Compared to the first time I came here, the treatment was much higher.
"Why are you so nervous?"
Lin Yue put the two tapes on his desk: "The tapes of Wu Xiuqing and her father Wu Yuansheng are all here."
He Weilan said: "Senior brother, how did you do it?"
Lin Yue blinked at her: "Secret."
"Secrets, secrets, always secrets, why do you have so many secrets?"
Huang Ling thought that she would be fine just hiding behind the monitor and snickering, but He Weilan caught her and gave her a fierce look. The bluffed girl quickly found an excuse to run away.
"Officer Lin, sit down and I'll make you a cup of coffee."
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
At this time, He Weilan threw a document in front of Lin Yue: "Brother, this is a material prepared for Interpol. It records the process of making counterfeit banknotes by the Painter Group. The electronic version is also prepared for you. You can go back to Canada.
You can come and pick it up when the time comes. As for the case report to be prepared for the Royal Police, I think... it would be better for you to write it than for me."
"In a week, I will fly back to Canada with Ruan Wen."
"Then..." He Weilan said, "How about Huang Ling and I go to the airport to see you off?"
"It's not like I won't come back. There's no need to go to such trouble."
"What do you mean?" He Weilan looked confused. He thought that Lin Yue's departure from HK this time meant that he had completed his mission and went to the headquarters to deliver work, and would live there next. After all, his family was in Ottawa.
"This time when I go back to work, I submit my resignation letter and complete the related matters. Well... I will come back in a month at most. Ruan Wen likes the climate and food here and says it is too cold in Vancouver. Now she is the oldest,
Everything depends on her."
He Weilan's eyes lit up when he heard that he seemed very happy that he could stay in HK.
…
A week later, Lin Yue and Nguyen Wen returned to Canada and submitted a case report and resignation letter to the RCMP headquarters. Afterwards, they took Nguyen Wen to meet his family in Ottawa.
The old couple were very happy and kept them at home for more than a week before letting them go to Vancouver to handle property matters.
A month later, the two took a flight back to Hong Kong.
He Weilan came to pick up the plane and told them that the police had announced to the public that the "painter" case had been solved. As promised by Director He, the part about Ruan Wen's identity was deleted, and the murder charge was placed on Li Wen.
Investigations against several multinational companies have also not been launched.
Lin Yue was not surprised. After all, the "painter" case was too big. If we dug deeper, it would inevitably involve the eggs of many politicians. HK was unwilling to delve into it. As long as it could save its face and catch the real culprit, that would be enough. What's more?
When things happened, the "old painter" was dug out in the end, which was an overfulfillment of the task.
Taking this opportunity, Ruan Wen gave her something.
Seeing the red card, He Weilan's emotions were a little complicated.
…
In October, Lin Yue and Nguyen Wen held their wedding at the Peninsula Hotel, with the HK police department, executives of multinational groups, and several Chinese Royal Mounted Police officers present to congratulate them.
Some people were influenced by some low-end magazines and tabloids and criticized the fact that Lin Yue, a civilian police officer who wrote reports, married a national treasure painter. It was not until they had a conversation and exchanges that they realized that they had underestimated Officer Lin, especially
For business figures, the grandeur of this man who was able to win over Miss Ruan and marry her son was astonishing.
…
After the two got married, they settled in Hong Kong. Lin Yue brought his two elders over. The families live very close to each other, so they don't have to fly back and forth during holidays. Moreover, the climate in Hong Kong is more suitable for elderly care than in Canada.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you have money.
Lin Yue doesn't need to worry about this. Although Ruan Wen is just a painter and his net worth is not as good as that of a wealthy businessman, there is no problem in living comfortably in a place like HK.
In the spring of 1999, Ruan Wen held a personal painting exhibition in Milan, Italy. "Shaoguan Spring", as the crystallization of their relationship, was hung in the most conspicuous place until the end of the exhibition.
More than two months later, Ruan Wen gave birth to a boy named Lin Xiao.
Since marrying Nguyen Wen, Officer Lin really had a soft life. It wasn't until the end of December 2000 that he did something - he took out Nguyen Wen's five million U.S. dollars in the bank for $200.
Wan bought Amazon shares and handed them over to an intermediary for sealing, waiting for Lin Xiao to be unblocked when he turns 20.
At that time, the purchase price of Amazon stock was only a dozen yuan.
…
December 31, 2000.
Ruan Wen put the child to sleep and walked into the living room. While collecting the toys that the child had thrown on the floor, he watched TV.
Lin Yue opened the door and entered the house, put the blue crabs bought from the vegetable market into the kitchen, then walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
"You said that today's young people are really going too far. What's wrong with giving up your seat to the elderly?"
A news program was playing on the TV. The old man in the program, speaking in Cantonese, kept accusing the female students in the picture who had HK registered permanent residence but lived in SZ as being uneducated. He also said that schools should not only teach children how to read, but also teach children how to be a good person.
.
It sounded right, but she was the one speaking from beginning to end. There was no narration from bystanders, nor could the girl involved hear the explanation.
Lin Yue curled his lips and disagreed.
"Yes, today's young people are really too much."
He agreed casually, but he didn't expect that Miss Ruan noticed the flash of ridicule on his face when she raised her head just now. After that, she sat down on the sofa and looked directly at him.
Lin Yue felt terrified when she stared at him.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"You lied."
"I lied?"
Monk Lin Yuezhang was confused.
"Yes, you clearly have other opinions about the incident on TV. Why don't you speak out and instead agree with me?"
Lin Yue laughed dumbly, held her hand and pulled it into his arms: "That girl lives in SZ, and has to get up very early every day to cross the port, and then take the bus and subway to go to school. I think she should be in the class
She is also the one who is excluded. We will not discuss her father and mother. Let’s just say that such a girl wants to stand out in front of those classmates who have a very high starting point.
To gain some dignity, there should be no other way besides studying hard. During the distance from the port to the school, she would use the subway time to catch up on her sleep. She was already very tired, and the old man on TV kept saying that others were uneducated.
, I wonder when people like her will learn to understand young people who are overwhelmed by the high-intensity work and study in modern society."
"Then why didn't she say it?"
Lin Yue said: "Have you ever seen how many cowardly, inferior and cold-shouldered outsiders argue with locals?"
Ruan Wen stopped talking: "Some of the media today are really hateful."
Lin Yue shrugged and said nothing.
"Um?"
Ruan Wen suddenly woke up and said, "You are changing the subject. Tell me, why do you agree with me even if you don't correct me when you know that I am listening to one side of the story?"
Lin Yue put his arms around her waist and said, "You work hard at painting, and you have to take care of Lin Xiao, taking over half of the housework. You are so capable, how can I bear to make you unhappy? Don't say that you are biased.
Xin, even if you say the earth is flat, I will applaud you."
"You have no position."
Lin Yue held her hand and kissed it: "Position is not used to create family conflicts. In my heart, family is always more important than position, and you are an indispensable part of this family."
Ruan Wen was very moved, but after being moved, he always felt something was wrong.
"You are... there is something in your words."
Lin Yue smiled, but the smile was a little dry and astringent: "They all say that one pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. They are lying, right?"
"What else are you hiding from me?"
"Alas." Lin Yue sighed: "Then I tell you that you are not allowed to be unhappy, you are not allowed to think wildly, and you are not allowed to feel sorry for yourself."
Ruan Wen glanced at him and nodded.
"Do you know how I made Wu Xiuqing compromise two years ago? I said, you almost killed your sister, your father ruined your life, do you want to ruin your sister's life too?
"
Miss Ruan Wen, who was lying on his chest, shivered and buried her face.
"When did you find out?"
"I've been a little suspicious since the first time I saw you. No matter how sophisticated plastic surgery is, it can't transform one person's face into another. What's more, your two voices are so similar that He Weilan can't tell them apart.
"As far as I know, there is only one situation that can explain this phenomenon."
"twin?"
"Yes, twins." Lin Yue gently stroked her hair: "After Wu Xiuqing was arrested, I sent his hair samples and yours to Canada, and asked a friend to do an anonymous test, and the results showed that yours
The DNA is the same. Do you remember when your father said he wanted to marry his daughter to me during the hostage exchange? At that time, I thought his daughter
It was Wu Xiuqing. I found out later that he was talking about you. And when I went to your father to take a statement, I think he saw that I had grasped the fact that you and Wu Xiuqing were sisters, so he didn’t hesitate.
He chose to cooperate because he knew that I would take good care of his daughter. Although I did not inherit his family business, I still became his son-in-law."
"I hid so much from you, don't you blame me?"
"When you chose to use your own life to stop Wu Xiuqing from shooting at me, and were willing to give birth to Lin Xiao for me, it no longer matters whether you say something or not."
Ruan Wen suddenly got up, held his face and gave him the longest kiss in the three years they had known each other. It was so long that Lin Yue thought he might win the first prize in a kissing contest.
"You want to suffocate me to death." It took a lot of effort for him to break free from Ruan Wen's clutches.
"No wonder you want to tell me about your stance and family today."
"I have always felt that to marry a smart wife, you are not only smarter than her, but you also have to be able to pretend to be stupid. This is a very difficult thing."
Ruan Wen picked up the pillow next to him and threw it at it: "I said you are fat and have asthma."
Lin Yue said while hiding: "By the way, there is one thing I still don't understand. Were you present when Li Wen killed Luo Wen? Were you helping Wu Xiuqing to cover up from the beginning, or was it me...
After my father-in-law intervened, he was forced to cooperate with them in a plan to escape from the shell? In addition, the hair of the mysterious woman in the resort hotel in Chiang Rai, Thailand belongs to your mother... no, stepmother Lu Xiulian..."
When taking a confession in the hospital, Wu Xiuqing said that Ruan Wen was not present when Luo Wen died. Outsiders cannot judge whether this statement is true or false, because information that is nine percent true and one percent false is the most difficult to distinguish, not to mention Hua Nu, Li Wen, etc.
Everyone was dead, and only she knew what happened at the scene. In order to help her sister get away with it, she acted like a little panic.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Ruan Wen intervened in the incident after the "old painter" came up with the "Escape Plan" for Wu Xiuqing and Li Wen. As for life in Vancouver, the process of getting to know Luo Wen was memorized according to the pre-written script.
Just come down and deal with the police. Anyway, Luo Wen is dead, and Wu Xiuqing has lived alone in Vancouver for several years. Outsiders have no way to learn the details.
Unfortunately, the biggest surprise of this long scroll carefully painted by the new "old painter" is that Ruan Wen fell in love with him, and "love", once it penetrates deep into the bone marrow, will be selfish and greedy to the extreme.
"Didn't you say that everything in the past is unimportant?" Ruan Wen glared.
"I'm just curious...I've been holding it in for so long, and it makes me feel itchy."
Ruan Wen hit him twice with a pillow.
"Since you've been holding it in for so long, why don't you keep holding it in?"
Lin Yue shrank his head to protect his brain: "I clearly promised not to get angry."
"Are you trying to reason with a woman? Are you stupid?"
"Okay, okay, no more questions. Just treat what I said above as if I didn't say it."
Lin Yue glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall. December 31st was the last day of the year 2000.
"Unparalleled".
Unparalleled?
