chasing the dark

Chapter 76

In order to prevent Mu Feng's flamboyant car from showing up near the city bureau, Jiang Yu lied, saying that he was outside and there was no need to pick it up.

When I arrived at the door of my house, before I could use the key to open the door, I found that the door had been replaced with an electronic lock.

No fingerprints, no passwords, no keys.He had no choice but to ring the doorbell, hoping that Mu Feng was in the house.

However... the doorbell rang again and again, but the door stood still.

Just as she took out her cell phone and was about to make a call, there were footsteps on the stairs.

Fortunately, it was Mu Feng who came up.

"I don't even want to tell me the password when I change the lock." Jiang Yu mumbled and stuffed the phone back into his pocket.

Mu Feng stretched out his hand and opened the lock with his fingerprint: "I can't even guess the password, how dare I say I'm a criminal policeman?"

"The criminal police are not experts in deciphering." Jiang Yu said casually, and began to look at his home.

The wallpaper has been changed, the floors have been replaced with tiles and the furniture, while still the same as before, has clearly been refurbished.

She thought that Mu Feng was busy with work and didn't have time, so she worked on it for so many days, but she didn't expect it to be such a large amount of work.

"It made you tired, brother." Jiang Yu showed a grateful smile.

"I didn't do it myself, so there's nothing to be tired of." Mu Feng lifted up the supermarket shopping bag in his hand, "The slippers are in the shoe cabinet, what's the matter? Wait for me to get them for you?"

After closing the door and entering the room, Jiang Yu shook the slippers on his feet, and the pair of stunned pink bunny ears swayed left and right with her movements.

"Mr. Mu, I'm 23, not three."

"What's wrong with 23? In my heart, you are just a three-year-old brat."

Mu Feng washed his hands and stuffed the food he just bought into the refrigerator, and took a bottle of yogurt to Jiang Yu who had just come out of the bathroom: "This house has been empty for too long, it is not popular, and the floor is cracked. The furniture can still be repaired." The kitchen appliances, the washing machine, and the water heater have all been replaced. When you look back and see what is missing, let’s buy it again.”

"Calculate how much it cost in total, and I'll pass it on to you." Jiang Yu took the yogurt with the straw inserted, and started wandering from room to room.

Mu Feng waved his hand: "Whatever it is, your brother can still afford this little money."

"Brothers settle accounts clearly, if you are like this, I will estimate the number myself."

Seeing Jiang Yu take out his phone, Mu Feng hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, I'll tell you later."

Let her estimate by herself, she must count too much, then what kind of person will she become.

"Okay," Jiang Yu patted him on the shoulder and said proudly, "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you today."

"My mother is waiting for dinner at home. Take a fingerprint and hurry over." Mu Feng shook his head in the direction of the door, "You can treat me to a big meal another day."

The unit next to Mu Feng's house has the same layout as Jiang Yu's house, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms.

In the early years, the two lived together in the family building of the procuratorate, and their relationship was quite good.

Later, the welfare housing allocation policy was reformed, and they moved to the current community together.

When Jiang Yu was in high school, his grandfather, who lived alone in the outskirts of the city, suffered from cerebral infarction. He stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, but half of his body was still not working.

She lives on campus and only goes home on weekends, so she doesn't have to worry about the distance to school.So in order to take care of the elderly, my parents decided to move to the second floor of my grandfather's private courtyard.

Who would have thought that this trip would cost three lives.

During the two years of living with his grandfather, Mu Feng's family took care of both grandparents and grandchildren.

Mu Feng's mother, Wang Qing, made delicious food every three days and sent it over.

After his grandfather returned to his hometown, Jiang Yu went home less and less often, but every time he would go to Mu's house.

Mu Feng opened the door of his own house, and Wang Qing poked his head out from the kitchen immediately: "Xiaoyu is back?"

"Mom, you are too biased, you know Xiaoyu, did I really give it away as a charge?" Mu Feng pouted dissatisfied.

"Aunt Qing, where are you cooking? Let me help you." Jiang Yu changed his shoes and went to the kitchen.

"Look, it's my daughter who knows how to hurt others. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have charged the phone bill." Wang Qing smiled and glared at his son, "Xiaoyu, you go wash your hands first, the soup will be ready soon, and you can start eating now." gone."

Glancing at the three bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, Jiang Yu asked, "Won't Uncle Mu come back to eat?"

"My dad, it would be nice to be able to eat at home once a week." Mu Feng put the soup on the dining table and rubbed his hands on his ears, "Damn, it's burnt to death!"

"Who told you not to put some on?" Wang Qing felt sorry for his son, and took his hand, "Is it burnt?"

"It's okay." Mu Feng pulled away the chair, "Come on, let's eat."

Jiang Yu sat down beside Wang Qing and asked, "Which department is Uncle Mu in charge of now?"

"I just became the director of the Second Procuratorate last year, mainly in serious criminal cases and job-related economic crimes." Wang Qing sighed helplessly. If you can live a good life, the procuratorate will not be so busy."

Mu Feng smiled and said: "Mom, look at what you said, if no one commits a crime, not only my dad, but even Xiaoyu will lose his job."

Bringing up this quarrel, Wang Qing frowned: "Xiaoyu, don't think that Auntie is nagging, you should think about it before the work is officially assigned. The old Duan and your father are old friends, let him Tell the school for help, you might as well just stay in school. If you are embarrassed to speak up, let Uncle Mu talk to him."

"Don't mind, Aunt Qing!" Jiang Yu quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, "I don't want to stay in school, the Municipal Bureau is very good."

"It's pretty good, but I don't like the criminal investigation team." Wang Qing shook his head disapprovingly, and put a piece of meat into her bowl, "It's so dangerous to catch thieves on the street all day long! Look at you, how long has it been since you lost weight again, eat more."

"It's not what you think, Aunt Qing." Jiang Yu said, "There are so many male police officers in the team, if I really go to the street to catch thieves, I won't be able to catch thieves. As for me, I usually sort out materials in the office , At most, they will follow along with the transcripts during the interrogation, and rarely meet the suspects."

Mu Feng on the opposite side rolled his eyes, and it was written all over his face - just make it up!
Jiang Yu kicked him under the table and at the same time gave him a threatening look.

Wang Qing was only focused on picking up food for the two children, and didn't pay attention to the interaction between them. He was still muttering: "Don't think I don't understand anything. No matter what you do, as long as you are in the criminal investigation detachment, you can't get to and from get off work on time. , if this is..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the phone ringing. Jiang Yu glanced at the caller ID and immediately got up and left the dining table.

The call was from Ye Zhanzhou, and he opened his mouth: "There is a case, where are you?"

After reporting the address of the home, I heard him say: "In 10 minutes, the south gate of the community."

This really meant slapping in the face, so Jiang Yu hung up the phone and smiled apologetically: "Aunt Qing, I have something to do, I'm leaving first."
