Chapter 79 Red Packet

Although the case was solved, everyone was very heavy.

Even Da Zhao lost his usual hipster smile, and Liu Yongxin patted Zhou Ning on the shoulder.

"Adjust your mindset and leave after get off work quickly. We have provided all the materials needed for this case. Today is the Lantern Festival."

As he was talking, Xu Dayuan also walked in.

"Let's all withdraw, what are you waiting for? Could it be that I don't want to go home and reunite today? Then I will start to arrange work?"

After saying this, everyone quickly dispersed. When Zhou Ning walked to Xu Dayuan's side, Xu Dayuan raised his hand and said:

"I can't even stand the flight tomorrow, but remember that my phone can't turn off."

"Okay, Xu Da, let's withdraw first."

After saying that, several people left and stood outside the second floor of the criminal police team. Zhou Ning looked at the sky and exhaled a long breath.

Only by seeing what people who have lost their freedom experience can we know how happy it is to be able to stand in the blue sky and breathe and daze so freely.

With his hands in his pockets, Zhou Ning quickly walked to the side of the road and bought some fruits and a box of beer.

Then I called a taxi to go straight to Yuhua Community. The surge in housing prices made real estate developers move. Even in winter, the open space on the south side of the community had been surrounded, and many large machines were working.

He heard from his second uncle that he seemed to build the second phase of Yuhua Community. They were all developers. After all, they were cheap, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the price increase.

Zhou Ning got off the taxi and entered the community, but did not go home but went straight to Building No. 7 on the south side. The house he bought by his second uncle was in this building. This apartment was much larger than his one, with four bedrooms and two living rooms. Grandpa also lived here, but there were no neighbors who liked to chat here, and the old man was a little lonely.

Although Zhou Ning was still being abused by the system these days, he could always recall some fragments during the short period of half-dream and half-awake. A woman held him with her hands, stood on a tall building, looking down together. Although she could not look up, she subconsciously felt that it was her mother's hand.

Just stared at the white area below, the hand touched Zhou Ning's head and said something to him, Xiao Ning, look, that's your father.

Just when Zhou Ning watched, he had already entered the systematic training ground, but when he woke up, he always felt that this was not something he was dreaming, but something he had experienced.

You should know that after his ten-year-old parents died, he had no memories of his before he was ten years old. Why is this? Is it because he was also injured and lost his memory, or is it not an accident that his parents' death?

Grandpa and second uncle almost kept silent, and even his parents' careers had never been mentioned. After a long time, he stopped asking questions. It was not to forget it, but to hide this secret in his heart. However, this fragment of memory still made him feel a little uneasy.

Take a deep breath and put away these thoughts.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door three times. The door was opened by his cousin. Seeing Zhou Ning, Zhou Xiaoyu happily shouted to the back.

"My brother is back!"

Hearing this shout, the second uncle and grandfather got up and came over, and Zhou Ning felt a little embarrassed.

"Grandpa and second uncle, I'm here to have a meal!"

The old man smiled and didn't say anything. Uncle second came over directly with a smile on his face.

"No, what's the free meal? Today, the 15th day of the 15th day of the year, so hurry up and wash your hands. Your second aunt is about to prepare the meal. I just saw that it was still early and didn't call you. How come your case is over?"

Zhou Ning nodded, the old man stopped doing it.

"I'm talking nonsense. I didn't see Xiao Ning holding so many things in his hand. You asked him to keep talking?"

The second uncle waved his hand to Xiaoyu with a smile. Xiaoyu stepped forward to help Zhou Ning take the things. After washing his hands, he went to the kitchen to say hello to his busy second aunt and cousin Zhou Xiaojun. Then he quickly walked to the old man. The second uncle Zhou Xianghua also followed him over and handed Zhou Ning a cup of hot water.

"I can tell what the case this time, I heard that the Zhu School of Port Police Station has been to the branch office twice in the past two days. Director Sun scolded him. The people from the agency went to the cafeteria to have dinner, and they were all talking about this. What is the reason?"

The old man coughed and kicked his second son.

"You are the one who is in charge of logistics. Why do you ask about this every day? Don't follow the wind and rain."

"Okay, okay, old man, what you said is right. To satisfy the second uncle's curiosity, what is the case?"

Zhou Ning smiled and put down the teacup.

"A murder case is still within the jurisdiction of the Port Police Station, but the case is a bit complicated and involves a lot of things. The wife was urging her to be looked for by the mistress because her husband was looking for a mistress outside."

Zhou Ning was concise and told the case. After hearing this old man frowned, the crutch in his hand kept poking the ground.

"I have two people who burn it. If I don't have money, I will eat food every day. I can't provoke such vixen, but I'm sorry for the child."

The second uncle kept sighing.

"As soon as you say, Xiao Ning will not have any trouble. After you finish the case in the future, you will feel so upset that you will go home and talk to me and your grandfather. Don't get sick, it will be a waste of money."

At this time, the second aunt brought a fish and shouted at Zhou Ning:

"Little listen to your second uncle's speech. Xiao Ning quickly helped your grandpa over for dinner. Your second uncle was on duty on New Year's Eve. We didn't have a reunion dinner. Today is the most complete, so hurry up and serve."

Everyone sat down. Zhou Ning was on the left and the second uncle on the right. Beer was poured in front of the three of them. The old man had a little high blood pressure and did not dare to let him drink white wine. The old man picked up the glass.

"I have worked hard for the second family. I have taken care of me, the old man, and have also raised Zhou Ning to grow up. I support him in my studies and help him buy a house. I know that you are a hero of the Zhou family. When the old house is demolished, I will give you the money if I don't give it to me, so you can take it first."

As he said that, he handed a passbook to his second aunt. The second aunt was always arrogant and was touched by the old man, and his eyes turned red, but he was stern and pushed Guan Jie to the old man with a stern face.

"Old man, you can't give up. You will decide what's going on at home. Besides, Zhou Ning is old and still so sensible. I feel very proud. After all, this is what I trained. What's the difference between me and what I have? These two things are not good at it."

As he said that, his eyes cut a look at Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhou Xiaojun. The two of them suffered a disaster, and Zhou Ning did not dare to speak.

"It's 200,000 yuan here, you can just take it. Xiaoyu and Zhou Ning are the same age as Zhou Ning, but her birthday has been a few days younger, and she has been talking to her partner for more than a year. I know you don't have much spare money on hand. Seeing that Xiaojun is going to graduate, it's all a considerable expense."

Zhou Ning knew that it was time for him to express his opinion.

"Second Aunt, Grandpa asked you to take it and you will take it. In the future, you are the housekeeper, Grandpa and I have no money. I will ask you for this to be more righteous."

Second Aunt smiled and gave Zhou Ning a blank look.

"Okay, then I'll keep it for you first. Even if Xiaoyu gets married, it's not our responsibility. I'm ready for her dowry, but Xiaoning is worried. How are you in contact with Teacher Xia?

I visited the door last time. Although I brought me a specialty, anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly. I graduated from Central America and have a very undecisive appearance. You don’t have any indication yet, right?”

After saying that, the second aunt poked her uncle with her elbow. Zhou Xianghua quickly followed and said:

"Your second aunt is right. We were wrong about Cheng Li before, but Teacher Xia is a good teacher. Her father is at Qindao University, and her mother is from the Education Bureau. She is definitely a scholarly family!"

Zhou Ning's face felt hot, and he still couldn't escape the compulsory courses for the New Year.

"We have come into contact slowly. Teacher Xia is a good girl. She is beautiful and gentle. She asked her for help before, but she had no complaints. As for where we can go, I don't want to make a conclusion so early.

Today, this case made me even more afraid of marriage. Two childhood sweethearts, who have known each other for more than 20 years, finally got to this point. It really makes people fear marriage. Second Aunt, I know you are worried about me, but can we let it go?"

The old man looked at Zhou Ning and waved his hand to the second aunt.

"Okay, Xiao Ning has his own ideas. His work can see the ugliest side of the world. It is not a bad thing to have this idea. At least he can grasp his life more seriously in the future and be responsible to other girls. Come and let's use our chopsticks!"

Zhou Ning was a little unbelievable when he heard that the old man supported him so much, because he knew that it was the old man who had been urging his second aunt to help Zhou Ning take care of the marriage, which really surprised him today.

The old man picked up a piece of fish, and everyone started eating with chopsticks, but soon the topic fell on Zhou Xiaoyu.

Zhou Xiaoyu's boyfriend is Cui Guanglin, and he is a teacher from No. 1 Middle School like her. Zhou Xiaoyu teaches English, while that boyfriend is a chemistry teacher and a class teacher. He is five years older than Zhou Xiaoyu. This is what my second aunt is most dissatisfied with.

But it’s useless to be unsatisfied. Xiaoyu is satisfied. Moreover, the two have a good relationship. Cui Guanglin’s family is already preparing for the wedding.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Ning took out a stuffed red envelope and handed it to Zhou Xiaoyu. Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Ning in confusion.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"I'm busy with work, and whenever I have a case, I'll be able to make a lot of money. I want to buy you some dowry, but I'm afraid that the choice I'll choose is not to your heart's heart, so I'd give you money to choose by myself. Don't worry, my brother is rich."

The old man smiled with satisfaction. Uncle and aunt were anxious and asked Xiaoyu to give the money to Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning waved his hand, then put down his chopsticks and said seriously:

"I didn't have such plenty of time before, so I never told you that I received a royalty before New Year's Day. It was a paper jointly developed with Dr. Lu from Qindao University. It was published in an international forensic journal. It was quite rich.

In addition, a few years ago, I signed a contract with Qindao University to jointly develop a software for facial recovery system technology. I have 20% ownership of this, so I won’t have to worry about money anymore. You can hold it down, and at least call me brother who has been calling me for so many years.”

Zhou Xiaojun came over with a smile and reached out to Zhou Ning.

"Where is mine?"

Second aunt slapped Zhou Xiaojun on the head, and several eyes flew out, making her voice so angry that she was a few degrees higher.

"What trouble do you make? It's not easy for your brother to make money, and he hasn't gained a foothold in his first work. Zhou Ning, we have received your wishes. Keep the money yourself, just save it and don't spend it randomly."

The old man coughed, and everyone stopped the sound.

"Xiao Ning is also sensible when she grows up. I know that I feel sorry for my sister and you couple. This is a happy thing. I know how careful he is. Besides, this matter is done well. The whole family doesn't have to worry about it so much. Let Xiaoyu take it.

I heard Xiao Ning say about that software. Just cooperate with Qindao University in a down-to-earth manner. Don’t be too eager for quick success or short-term profits, and don’t delay your job. We all support you."

After hearing what the old man said, no one said anything else. Xiaoyu put away the red envelope. Zhou Ning pursed his lips and held back what he wanted to ask. The time was wrong. It would be better to talk about it later if I had time.

"Then I will thank you brother. When you have time, I will take Cui Guanglin to meet you and you will also check it out for me."

The second uncle's face was a little dark, and Zhou Ning held back his laughter. It was not easy to obstruct his parents. She said this obviously because she wanted to help be a lobbyist.

"Okay, it's okay to meet, but we have to follow the standards of political review. I will help you with your second uncle and second aunt to see if this kid can withstand the investigation!"

Xiaoyu's face turned red and she was so angry that she stamped her feet.

"Brother, you're too much!"

The second uncle and second aunt stretched out their thumbs to Zhou Ning and agreed with Zhou Ning's idea very much.

"Check, you must check it carefully!"
