Lei Luo was glad that the epidemic prevention period did not last that long.
It would take at least three months for Shi Zhijian to scare him, but in just over half a month, the epidemic was completely under control.
Lei Luo came down from the front line, went to his home, and slept for three days.
He had never had a good night's sleep in more than half a month. His eyes were blood red, his beard was unkempt, and his face was haggard, looking more like a fugitive than a detective.
Lei Luo still remembered his wife Bai Yuechang's surprised look when she saw him, and her surprise when she saw him swallowing three bowls of bird's nests in one go.
Three days later, Lei Luo completely recovered his strength.
Today, it was rare that he did not go for a walk in the garden after dinner or practice calligraphy in the study. Instead, he sat in the living room and watched TV.
He kept changing the channels deliberately and uneasily, focusing on those news channels. Especially those involving the Justice of the Peace and the epidemic, his eyes lit up.
The servants below didn't know what happened today. Only his wife Bai Yuechang knew that today was the nomination day for Justice of the Peace.
Lei Luo has been waiting for so long, done so many things, and is waiting for this day.
The news on the TV quickly ended and some old Cantonese dramas began to be played, including Bai Yuechang's favorite "Black Rose".
Bai Yuechang brought a bowl of ginseng tea over. Seeing Lei Luo sighing and watching TV, she handed the ginseng tea to him and said, "Don't be impatient. Since Ajian said you have a high chance, just relax!"
Lei Luo took the ginseng tea, picked up the tea lid and cut off the foam, took a sip, raised his head and said, "I know too! But it's already dark today, and there's no news yet. I'm afraid that the night is long and there are many dreams, and this matter will probably come to nothing."
Lose!"
"If you're yellow, you're yellow! Even if you don't want to be that damned gentleman, you still need a piece of your body!" Bai Yuechang comforted Lei Luo, "As long as you are healthy and your family is safe, everything will be fine!"
"What about the one million we donated? Don't you feel bad?"
"I don't feel bad. It's considered a good deed. Originally, you couldn't ask for anything in return for doing good deeds, so you were so dishonest. How good it is now, the money has been spent, and you can be peaceful!"
Lei Luo couldn't help laughing, "If your father hears this, he will be angry!"
Bai Yuechang's father is the famous "big water throat" rice fish, rice fish, rice fish, as the name suggests, no one can eat rice from him. If you want to take money from him, you must have equal returns.
He never trades at a loss.
The one million this time was borrowed from Baifanyu. It was not that Lei Luo had no money, but that Lei Luo's money could not be seen.
This time Baifanyu was willing to help Lei Luo because Lei Luo promised to win the title of Justice of the Peace.
Baifanyu believed in Lei Luo. He had invested in Lei Luo before and lent money to let Lei Luo become a detective. The return was huge.
Now investing one million to buy Lei Luo a Justice of the Peace, he thinks it is childish.
But if Baifanyu knew that this investment failed, this stubborn old guy would definitely go berserk.
Bai Yuechang rolled her eyes at Lei Luo, "What you said about my father is too scary! He is not a monster, he is just doing business and investing! Besides, he is only a daughter like me, and you are his son-in-law.
So what if he suffers more losses?"
Lei Luo was just joking with his wife, but he didn't expect her to be serious. Just as he was about to coax her, the housekeeper at home appeared at the door of the living room and reported: "Mr. Lei, former Chief Inspector Yao Mu, Inspector Yao is here!"
Lei Luo was startled at first, then startled, and stood up from his seat: "Please come in quickly! No, I'll greet him at the door in person!"
…
Yao Mu!
Hong Kong’s first Chinese Chief Inspector!
The number one Chinese police officer who has ever received a medal from the Governor of Hong Kong himself!
Yao Mu had retired ten years ago, and due to a stroke, he began to stay away from guests.
But tonight such a person came to Lei Luo's mansion in person, which is of great significance.
When Lei Luo came to the gate, he saw a lean old man shaking his left hand and being helped out of the car with some hemiplegia.
Lei Luo rushed forward immediately, supported Yao Mu on behalf of the servant, and said kindly: "Brother Mu, why are you here?"
Yao Mu smiled. He didn't look too good. Hemiplegia for so many years, coupled with the many root causes of diseases he suffered when he was a policeman, Yao Mu, who is now 68 years old, is more like a piece of rotten wood that has exhausted its oil and withered.
But Lei Luo knows that this piece of rotten wood has amazing energy. The intricate network of relationships in him is enough to shock countless junior police officers.
Yao Mu is very satisfied with Lei Luo's respect for him.
At least the respect Lei Luo showed at this time made Yao Mu feel the all-powerful elegance of his youth.
Looking at Lei Luo, Yao Mu thought: "I was so young once!"
"Why, is it possible that this is some kind of fairyland and blessed land so I can't come?" Yao Mu joked to Lei Luo.
Lei Luo smiled and said: "No, I am only happy that Brother Mu can come! Come on, please come in! Yue Chang! Take out my treasured Pu'er cakes and soak them for Brother Mu!"
Pu'er tea can treat cardiovascular diseases in the elderly and is also quite effective in treating stroke.
When Lei Luo helped Yao Mu sit on the sofa, Bai Yuechang had already made the Pu'er tea herself and served it.
Yao Mu recognized Bai Yuechang. When Lei Luo and Bai Yuechang got married, Yao Mu also acted as a witness.
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and things have changed and people have changed.
Yao Mu glanced at Bai Yuechang, then turned his attention to the tea set, and couldn't help but smile: "Yue Chang is really attentive. She knows that I like to use the 'Juford' purple sand teapot, and she also specially places the tea label on it."
Come out and show me!"
"She has always been attentive," Lei Luo said with a smile. "Whenever a distinguished guest comes, she will keep some hobbies in mind. Like you, Brother Mu, she will remember clearly what kind of tea she likes the most and what teapot she likes to use to make water.
It’s clear, one record lasts for more than ten years!”
There is something in Lei Luo's words, how could Yao Mu not hear it?
Yao Mu immediately nodded to Bai Yuechang to express his gratitude.
Bai Yuechang hurriedly bowed slightly in return, and then drove away the surrounding servants, leaving Lei Luo and Yao Mu alone in the living room.
Seeing everyone leaving, Yao Mu's left hand was shaking badly due to hemiplegia and he couldn't use any strength. He took out a paper envelope from his pocket with his right hand and slowly put it on the coffee table between them: "I came here specially tonight.
I’m giving this to you! I’m old and have had a stroke. I didn’t want to come out and embarrass myself, but the situation is serious! The superiors are so kind that I can’t refuse, so I have to come forward and hand over this letter of appointment to you!”
Lei Luo was suddenly pleasantly surprised. He picked up the envelope, his hands trembling a little.
Yao Mu looked at him and said with a smile: "Aluo, congratulations to you! The first Detective Hua to win the title of Justice of the Peace!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Luo immediately opened the envelope, and sure enough, an exquisite "Justice of the Peace" letter of appointment suddenly appeared in front of him!
"Is this true?" Lei Luo still couldn't believe it.
Yao Mu said in a somewhat slow tone: "Of course it is true! This is the first time that the superiors have awarded such an honor to a detective! All of us, the Chinese police, are proud of you!"
After a pause, Yao Mu added: "Actually, I also know this time why those people above wanted me to inform you of the news. Yes, my connections are very strong, but they have actually been scattered since I had a stroke.
That's almost it! If you don't mind it, Aluo, I will introduce those connections to you!"
Yao Mu said it lightly, but Lei Luo's heart was in turmoil!
You must know that Yao Mu has been in the police industry for many years and has a wide network of contacts, especially many disciples, many of whom have also held high positions in the police industry. Lei Luo is also one, and so is Yan Xiong.
It is precisely because of this that those ghost guys from Shangfeng are very afraid of him. Even if Yao Mu is at home due to stroke, they are still worried about him. Now they want Yao Mu to recommend the remaining contacts he has accumulated to Lei Luo.
Lei Luo made great achievements this time and was appointed as a "Justice of the Peace". If he takes over Yao Mu's power, he can better serve these ghost guys and help them find money.
Thinking of this, Lei Luo hurriedly put down the letter of appointment, picked up the teacup and said to Yao Mu, "Thank you, Brother Mu! Come, have some tea!"
"If you don't bring fame and fortune with you in life, you won't take it with you in death! There's nothing to regret!" Yao Mu finally figured it out and no longer hesitated. He picked up the teacup with his trembling right hand and took a sip: "Good tea.
!”
The old and new detectives are officially replaced!
