When Long Liexue returned to the dormitory from Gongning Military Airport, Pu Zhaoxi had just returned to his home. His home had two bedrooms and one living room, which was an old house built more than ten years ago in the bureau. He has lived here for six years. Although the house is a bit old and the family of three is a bit compact, he is already very satisfied than when the family lived in the staff dormitory before.

As he walked through the small courtyard downstairs of his house, in the yard, several children living in the same courtyard were playing the game of police catching thieves in the unlit yard, around the pear trees on the grass in the yard, and the child assigned to be a thief was arguing with others with displeasure.

"Why do I always be a bad person? You are a good person? This time I also want to be a good person..."

"You are fat, and the bad guys on TV are like you!"

"Yes, you are so fat. We can catch you when you hide as a bad guy. Don't you want us to catch the bad guy?"

"But...but my dad said I should be a good person when I grow up?"

"Oh, it's okay. Haven't you grown up yet? Wait until you grow up before being a good person."

"You always say that, but I've been growing up for a long time. When I asked my dad last time, my dad said I'm already an adult!"

"If you become a bad guy this time, we will buy ice cream for you tomorrow!"

"Ice cream...you won't lie to me, are you?"

"No... As long as you become a bad guy this time, we will buy you ice cream tomorrow!"

"Then...then I want two..."

...

After the little guys reached the exchange conditions, the game began!

Pu Zhaoxi smiled. He is really a policeman's child. He likes to play this kind of game at a young age. When he thinks of his own children, Pu Zhaoxi feels warm and his pace of going home is two points faster.

The lane at the entrance of the stairs was still full of bicycles, and the gap in the lane could barely allow one person to walk over, because the house in the yard was a little old, and there was no design of a carport when it was built, so everyone put the bicycles on the stairs.

The 25-watt light bulb on the stairs was not very bright, but it could barely be able to go upstairs. Pu Zhaoxi lived on the fifth floor, the highest floor of the houses in the courtyard. When Pu Zhaoxi walked to the third floor, a room on the left side of the third floor just opened the door. A man in his thirties wearing only a vest walked out. When he saw Pu Zhaoxi, the man was stunned for a moment.

"Old Pu, what happened? I'm just back now?"

"Nothing, there's a lot of things today."

"You are the ones who are the ones in your Criminal Investigation Department. By the way, did you see that brat in my house when you came from below?"

"Oh, you said Xiaobao, he is having fun with Lao Zhao and his children in the yard downstairs?"

"You said this brat, I just want to play all day long. After dinner, I asked him to do his homework, but after doing his homework for three minutes, he ran away when I was not paying attention. Do you think it's annoying? Because I was called by their head teacher two days ago and scolded me, and I was thrown away all my old face." The man complained a few times and rushed downstairs in a hurry. It seemed that someone's butt was going to be in trouble.

Sure enough, when Pu Zhaoxi went up to the fifth floor, the cry of the fat man just now came downstairs. Pu Zhaoxi shook his head and laughed and cried. This old Li, who was in charge of children, always spoke with his hands.

When Pu Zhaoxi just arrived at the door of his house, before he could take out the keys, the door of his house opened. A small figure rushed out and watched the familiar figure run over. Pu Zhaoxi quickly bent down, and then, the small figure hung around his neck like a koala.

"Dad, I said you are back..."

Pu Zhaoxi smiled on her face, picked up the petite body and walked into the door.

"Yuanyuan is coming down soon. Dad is tired. Let Dad rest!" The hostess in the room closed the door and said to the little koala hanging on Pu Zhaoxi's neck with a tone of blame and pampering.

"No, I want my dad to hug you!" The little koala bear was acting coquettishly on Pu Zhaoxi.

"It's okay!" Pu Zhaoxi smiled gently at the hostess in the room, "If our family Yuanyuan grows into a big girl in another two years, I can't even hug her!"

The hostess looked at Pu Zhaoxi with a angrily voice, and turned around and went to the kitchen.

Pu Zhaoxi held the little girl and sat on the sofa in the living room, but the little girl still refused to come down.

"Yuanyuan, did you lie on the window again today and look into the yard? Dad has told you that it is very dangerous to do so!" When he said this, Pu Zhaoxi deliberately looked stern.

"No, Yuanyuan is very obedient. Last time my father said that Yuanyuan never lie on the window and waits for her father to come back!"

"Oh, then how do you know I'm back?"

"Hey...hey...I won't tell you."

"Okay, I don't even tell my father. Let's see how I deal with you!" Pu Zhaoxi said, then scratched the little girl's armpit with her hands. The little girl fell on the sofa next to her while dodging.

"Do you say it?" Pu Zhaoxi dressed up with a terrible face.

"Hehe...hehe...ha...ha...ha, bad dad, I won't say it!"

Just as Pu Zhaoxi was amusing his little daughter, the hostess in the room had already brought the meal.

"Look at you father and daughter, the old ones are not like the old ones, the young ones are not like the young ones, none of them are serious, round, sit down and have a meal!"

Pu Zhaoxi let go of his little daughter and turned to sit. When he saw what came to the table, he frowned. The things he brought were very rich, but obviously they had not moved, and the hostess also brought three bowls and chopsticks.

"Yu Shu, haven't I told you that I won't wait for me to come back before eating. The meal is ready. You and Yuanyuan will eat first. I'll be hot when I come back. Look, it's past nine o'clock now..."

The hostess first served a bowl of rice for Pu Zhaoxi, and then for Yuanyuan and herself. She seemed to have never heard of Pu Zhaoxi's complaints.

"Do you still remember what you promised two days ago?" The hostess gave Pu Zhaoxi a blank look.

What did you promised two days ago? Pu Zhaoxi took a photo of her forehead and finally remembered it. Two days ago, Yuanyuan told herself that she would participate in the city-wide primary school student painting competition today, and she promised the mother and daughter that they would pick them up for dinner together after get off work today...

Looking at the mother and daughter sitting in front of her, Pu Zhaoxi smiled apologetically. The mistress of the house didn't say anything, but just picked up a chopstick of dishes and put them in his bowl.

"Yuanyuan participated in the competition today. It's all bad for dad. Dad is really..." I didn't know how many times I said such a reason. Although what I said was the truth, at this moment, Pu Zhaoxi suddenly felt that he couldn't continue to say it anymore.

Unexpectedly, Pu Zhaoxi didn't say it was okay. After saying this, the little girl jumped down from the seat and ran to her room, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan", and the hostess didn't call the little girl either. Pu Zhaoxi thought that her daughter was angry, but within three seconds, the little girl ran out of her room, holding a small red notebook in one hand and carrying the other behind her, not knowing what she was holding.

"Dad, dad, this is my award certificate today. Yuanyuan won the first prize today. Mom said that she would take it out to make her happy when her father finished her meal, but Yuanyuan wanted to make her happy now."

Pu Zhaoxi looked at the first prize of the MK Primary School Student Painting Competition held by his daughter, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Before he could finish his feelings, the little girl in front of him smiled cunningly.

"Dad, guess what I hold in my other hand?"

Pu Zhaoxi calmed down his mood.

“Trophy?”

The little girl shook her head.

"Well...what is the painting drawn by our Yuanyuan?"

"No, dad is so stupid, I can't guess at all." The little girl pouted her pink mouth.

"Okay, Yuanyuan, Dad hasn't eaten yet, don't tease Dad." Seeing his mother say, Yuanyuan took out the things hidden in her hand. It was a thermally insulated tea cup made of stainless steel on the outside.

"Mom said, Dad has a bad stomach and often can't drink hot water outside. I heard from our teacher that such a cup is called a vacuum cup. It's best when drinking tea, and the tea won't be cold. Today I won the first place. They gave me a certificate of awards and still 500 yuan. I thought that my father loved tea the most, so he asked the teacher who took me to the competition to take me to the mall to buy a cup like this. It took more than 300 yuan. I handed over the remaining money to my mother..."

Pu Zhaoxi took the cup and kissed Yuanyuan's face hard.

"Help Mom, Dad is pricking my face with his beard again!" the little girl screamed.

"Come on, Yuanyuan, don't get tired of being with my father. Come here to have a meal. If you don't have a meal, it will be cold!"

...

After dinner, the little girl ran back to the house well and went back to do her homework. Pu Zhaoxi also returned to her room and took out a copy of the information she brought back. She looked quietly under the desk lamp. The hostess packed up the dishes, took off her apron, walked to the room and poured a cup of hot water and placed it next to Pu Zhaoxi.

"I didn't have a good meal at noon today, right?"

The hostess asked a little blamely.

Stopped this, Pu Zhaoxi closed the information and gently grabbed the hands that had gradually become rougher from smoothness. "You, quietly flipped my pocket again. As soon as you learn my ability to do criminal investigation, I will use it on myself. Every time you just count the few tablets of medicine in my pocket, you will know what I ate outside at noon. You are really Sherlock Holmes at home!"

"Stop talking!" The hostess pulled out his hand from Pu Zhaoxi's hand. "You are running outside every day, all day long. The cases you come into contact with either killing people or dismembering them. The people you deal with are all red eyebrows and green eyes. As long as you come back a little later, we mothers and sons will be worried, afraid that something will happen to you, but when you are good, you will not take us mothers and sons to heart at all!"

As the woman said, her eyes turned red. Seeing that her wife was crying, Pu Zhaoxi was also a little anxious.

"Why don't I take you two to heart? When I go out, I won't miss you and Yuanyuan one day!"

"You take us to heart? Then you say, why don't you pay attention to your body? Your stomach is already an old problem. You don't know what the doctor said. How many times have I told you that you don't take your body seriously all day long. What if there is something, what should you do if you call me and Yuanyuan?"

The woman's tears fell. Seeing her beloved woman crying, no matter how cruel she was outside, Pu Zhaoxi had no choice but to surrender at this moment.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely change it in the future, I will definitely change it in the future. I promise you that I will never eat outside again!"

"Really, do you promise?" The woman raised her head from Pu Zhaoxi's arms. Based on her understanding of her man, she knew that the man would do what he said. She said it countless times before, but this man had never promised it.

"Really, I promise!" Pu Zhaoxi nodded seriously. Looking at the face in her arms that burst into tears and smiled, Pu Zhaoxi lowered her head and kissed her gently on that face.

"You are so stupid." The hostess suddenly blushed and stood up from Pu Zhaoxi's arms, "What if Yuanyuan saw it?"

Pu Zhaoxi smiled gently, "I am in my thirties and I am not old at all, and you are not old at all. In my opinion, you are still so beautiful. Until now, you are still exactly the same as the one I knew you in school."

No woman doesn't like to listen to her men's praise. The hostess smiled and could still see her bright look at her first brightness. She put her hand on Pu Zhaoxi's shoulders and gently pinched Pu Zhaoxi's shoulders.

"Did you have any worries today?"

"Did you see it?"

"I can tell from the moment you come back."

Pu Zhaoxi was not surprised at all about the answer behind him. After all, the two have been together for more than ten years. If you want to know, I am afraid that at some point the other party will know him better than you.

"It's true that I have something to say about my worries."

"Is it about the case?"

The voice behind him was still gentle. Pu Zhaoxi nodded. The case he took over today was far beyond his expectations. One of the deceased had been confirmed. He was Jiang Weimin, director of the Southwest Metal Research Institute of the National Academy of Sciences. He was a person with a special identity. If it were just like this, he would not have had such a headache. But the things in the box found on the scene made the case in front of him even more confusing. 500,000 US dollars, a sufficient amount to make most people crazy.

The number, along with the 500,000 US dollars, is also the visa of the deceased Jiang Weimin to the United States. Although there is still a person's identity and Jiang Weimin's autopsy is also underway, relying on the intuition and the most basic judgment that has been developed over the years, Pu Zhaoxi ruled out the possibility of those two people committing suicide. This is an obvious homicide. It is not suicide, so what is the motive of the criminals? For money? The 500,000 US dollars left at the scene have rejected this possibility, from the time of murder to when someone calls the police.

During this period, the criminals had enough time to take away the things in the box. Did the criminals leave too haste to take away the things? According to the survey results at the scene, the two people basically died without much resistance, and the scene was very remote, and they were not afraid of anyone seeing them in the morning. Even if the criminals regretted it later, they could come back and take away the money. After excluding these factors, the rest would be

The only explanation is that criminals do not kill people for money at all. Few people can resist the temptation of 500,000 US dollars. There are only a few possibilities for criminals to ignore the things in the box. First, the 500,000 US dollars are not in the eyes of criminals. The criminals are super rich. Second, compared with the 500,000 US dollars, criminals value other more important things, and third, the 500,000 US dollars is simply the criminals who stayed at the scene and set up a suspicion...

"I received a case today, which is very difficult!" Pu Zhaoxi basically doesn't talk about things at home. For Pu Zhaoxi, those bloody and corpses are enough as long as he knows it. This home is a paradise in his heart, and he doesn't want this paradise to be touched with such a slight blasphemy. Therefore, when asked about his wife's question, although this case was unprecedented for him, he still took it with a gentle word.
