Zhao Yu finally managed to free himself before the New Year. Together with Miao Ying and the dog Daheng, they took a car from the Criminal Division back to Qinshan.
Zhao Yu didn't break his promise. Before leaving, he helped Cui Lizhu complete all the procedures and opened a green channel for her. He allowed her to visit Tao Xiang in the mental hospital and accompany him for a long time.
Because Tao Xiang's situation was very special, as he was both sick and guilty, prison and ordinary hospitals were not suitable for him. So, he was currently imprisoned in a special medical institution. Not only was his personal freedom restricted, but he could also receive treatment at any time to avoid any harm to others.
There were only a few such special medical institutions in the country. Moreover, the people imprisoned there were extremely special felons. So, they couldn't even apply to visit him, let alone accompany him.
So, Cui Lizhu naturally thanked Zhao Yu and promised that she would spend the New Year with Tao Xiang happily.
Zhao Yu didn't know why, but he always saw some of his own shadow in Cui Lizhu. All the changes that had happened to this rebellious girl seemed to be a copy of himself!
Of course, it wasn't just Cui Lizhu who made Zhao Yu happy. Ran Tao and other colleagues were also gradually getting better after solving several major cases. This made Zhao Yu full of confidence for his future work.
It was December 29th when Zhao Yu returned to Qinshan. As Miao Ying hadn't been back for a long time, the two of them naturally had to meet many of their old colleagues and have a meal.
Zhao Yu's popularity was off the charts, so he didn't announce it officially. He only invited Li Beini, Zhang Yaohui, Zhang Jingfeng, Liang Huan, Lan Bo, and a few other close colleagues to him to a restaurant for a small gathering.
Seeing that Miao Ying had returned safe and sound, the old colleagues were naturally gratified. However, the two of them naturally couldn't reveal Miao Ying's real situation, so they only mentioned it briefly. Everyone understood and didn't ask any more questions.
What a coincidence! Ever since Zhao Yu had left Qinshan, the branch had been peaceful. Other than a few cases of injuries, there hadn't been any other difficult cases or high-ranking murder cases.
So, at the dinner table, Zhao Yu couldn't help but become the target of ridicule. It was as if those cases were all specially prepared for Zhao Yu's promotion.
According to the well-informed Lan Bo, Zhao Yu's personnel transfer was unstoppable. Before January at the latest, he would become an official police officer of the Central Criminal Division. He would no longer be under the jurisdiction of Qinshan or Longxi Province.
From this, it could be seen that the Criminal Division had put in a lot of effort to recruit Zhao Yu.
For the sake of promotion, everyone naturally had to drink a few more glasses. Zhao Yu's high-standard promotion was rare, not to mention in Longxi Province, even in the whole country. That feeling was like riding a rocket, shooting straight into the sky …
However, no matter how the relationship changed, Zhao Yu was indifferent to it. He didn't show the slightest bit of arrogance. The feeling he got was that no matter if he was working in Qinshan or the team leader of the Special Investigation Group, the nature of his work had never changed!
There was only one thing that Zhao Yu cared about the most, and that was solving the case!
Miao Ying claimed that she was addicted to solving cases, but in reality, Zhao Yu was even more addicted than Miao Ying! That kind of addiction had even far exceeded the scope that money and status could shake.
He especially enjoyed the feeling of working hard to find the truth, to uphold justice for others. It was as if there was nothing in the world more exciting than solving cases!
Sometimes, he even had the illusion that he had transmigrated and reincarnated to solve cases!
After lunch, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying bought some things and visited the landlord, Jiang Dafeng's family. Although Zhao Yu often didn't return to Qinshan, he had a special liking for the house on Shun Feng Street. So, regardless of whether he stayed or not, he paid the rent on time and never thought about reneging.
Now, Jiang Dafeng's wife's condition had improved greatly, and Jiang Xiaoqing had gotten into a top high school. The family was happy and harmonious.
Jiang Dafeng was cunning. Seeing that Zhao Yu was now a high-ranking official and famous, not only did he take the initiative to bury the hatchet, he even emphasized the fact that Zhao Yu was Jiang Xiaoqing's godfather!
Finally, he even moved a few boxes of fruits and stuffed them into Zhao Yu's car …
Returning to the old house, Zhao Yu felt slightly regretful that Yang Hong and Huahua, who lived across the street, were no longer there. They had moved to a new house. As Zhao Yu had changed his phone number and WeChat ID several times, he hadn't contacted the two of them for a long time. He didn't know how they were doing.
Thinking back to the memories of the two of them a long time ago, Zhao Yu had a different feeling. But now that he had returned with his goddess, he no longer had any nostalgia for the romantic past. It was like passing clouds …
Originally, Zhao Yu wanted to go to his gym to take a look and meet up with Zhou Yang and his other buddies. But when he called, he found out that the Depth of Breath Club was closed for the day and would only officially open on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
So, Zhao Yu gave up on the idea and bought some New Year's goods with Miao Ying. Then, he drove Miao Ying's Land Rover back to his hometown …
The villagers took the New Year very seriously. Seeing that their son had not only returned on time, but had also brought his future daughter-in-law home, Zhao Yu's parents were overjoyed. They had already prepared a good meal!
Although the village was a small place, Zhao Yu's reputation had spread far and wide. Everyone knew about him.
As a result, the Zhao family's position in the village had undergone a drastic change. Not only did Doggy Li, Zhao Jinsheng, and the others not dare to do anything bad to the Zhao family, even the leaders of the town had to look up to them.
Especially, the police system paid more attention to them. Before Zhao Yu came back, the county police station had sent people to send valuable gifts to his family, which made the neighbors jealous!
Actually, if it were in the past, Zhao Yu would definitely show off. Not to mention the county police station or the city police station. With his current identity, even the people from the provincial office would have to be polite to him!
However, Zhao Yu didn't do that. Instead, he told his family that they had to keep a low profile in the future, and that they couldn't go around showing off, because … I, Zhao Yu, am an upright person, so our whole family has to be upright people!
"Oh …" Zhao Yu's mother nodded in agreement. Then, she asked solemnly, "What does' upright 'mean?"
Oh …
Zhao Yu fell, and Miao Ying laughed …
It's Chinese New Year!
Zhao Yu spent the Chinese New Year comfortably at home. Of course, the "comfort" here was also due to the goddess Miao Ying …
Actually, if one were to recall carefully, Zhao Yu's official contact with this world was less than a year! He had only transmigrated to this world in May last year, when he solved the Lost Hand Case. He didn't expect that in less than a year, he had experienced so many wonderful things!
So many strange twists and turns, joys and sorrows …
Now that he thought about it, it felt like a long time had passed. Each case seemed to be near, but not far away, as if it had just happened yesterday.
Looking back on his own mental journey, he felt a lot of emotions. From being an unruly, arrogant and domineering man, to now a calm and steady "unsolved case cleaner," this feeling was quite memorable!
But … no matter what, he had to thank the Miracle System for his achievements today. If it wasn't for the system, he didn't know what he would be like now.
Just as he was talking about the system, the system suddenly flashed.
