After Han Bin escorted Ma Shengkai back to the police station, he handed him over to Ding Xifeng and Ma Jingbo for interrogation.
Seven years ago, Ma Shengkai committed two gold shop robberies, which were investigated by Ding Xifeng and Ma Jingbo. After so many years, they had not caught the suspect, which was a knot in their hearts.
Ding Xifeng and Ma Jingbo were mainly responsible for the interrogation, so Han Bin was a lot more relaxed. In order to thank his team members for their birthday gifts, he invited them to dinner the next night.
It was now late April, and the weather was gradually getting warmer, especially in the past two days, when the temperature had reached more than 20 degrees. It could be said that it was the season for barbecue and seafood.
Han Bin asked Ding Xifeng to invite his colleagues to dinner in the evening. Ding Xifeng also knew that his team members had worked hard during this period of investigation. Now that the suspect had been arrested, it was time for them to relax.
Han Bin also invited Ding Xifeng and Ma Jingbo to go with him, but both of them were busy, so Han Bin did not force them.
In the evening, Han Bin found a famous local barbecue night market.
The barbecue night market was located in a large yard. There was more than one barbecue stall, and each had its own specialty. Some specialized in roast lamb, some in roast lamb loin, some in seafood, and some in beer.
More than a dozen people from Second Squadron sat in a corner, and Han Bin greeted them, "What do you want to eat and drink? Tonight, it's my treat."
Zhao Ming laughed and said, "Brother Bin, don't worry. We will definitely not stand on ceremony with you. I know that you are going to treat us, so I only ate a bowl of instant noodles at noon. I will definitely make up for it tonight."
Han Bin laughed and scolded, "Boy, you are quite good at accounting. Just you wait, there will be a day when you will treat us."
Feng Na said, "Captain Han, why didn't you invite sister-in-law today? We have heard a lot about her from Qianqian."
"Another day, there will be plenty of opportunities." Yesterday, Han Bin mentioned to Wang Ting that he was going to treat his colleagues to dinner. He asked her if she wanted to come along, but she was a little embarrassed. She was afraid that it would be awkward and she would not know what to say, so Han Bin did not mention it.
"By the way, when we are out for dinner, let's all change the way we address each other. Don't always call me Captain Han."
The identity of a police officer was still relatively sensitive. It was better to avoid trouble.
"Alright, don't just stand there. Let's go find something to eat."
"Alright."
"Let's go." Everyone dispersed.
While everyone was ordering, Han Bin went to the beer stall and asked for a barrel of cold beer. Before coming here, Han Bin had already applied, so he could drink tonight.
There was a row of beer mugs on the table. Everyone poured a mug of draft beer. The breeze blew, and they drank the cold beer in big mouthfuls.
Not long after, the barbecue that everyone ordered arrived.
A roasted lamb leg, 100 lamb skewers, 10 lamb loins, 50 lamb tendons, 50 chicken gizzards, oysters, grilled fish, mantis shrimps, and all kinds of seafood filled the table.
Wang Xiao looked at the table full of barbecue and sighed, "Captain Han, you've really bled a lot today."
Han Bin said, "It's what I should do. Everyone gave me a birthday present. This kind gesture can't be bought with money."
Zhu Jiaxu also secretly thought, Boss, you're setting the tone a little high. How are we going to continue in the future?
Han Bin didn't care about their thoughts. He raised his beer mug and said, "Once again, thank you everyone for your birthday presents. I will always remember this kind gesture. Come, let me toast everyone."
"Cheers, cheers." Everyone also raised their beer mugs and took a big gulp.
Eating barbecue and drinking beer was definitely one of life's great joys.
…
Happy times were always short. The next day, everyone once again threw themselves into the intense work.
Because it involved two cases from seven years ago, the case investigation became much more complicated. It lasted for a full three days before officially entering the closing stage.
Ma Shengkai was responsible for four cases. Two of them were robberies from seven years ago, and the other two were recent cases.
One was the Jiufu Gold Shop robbery, and the other was Zhao Xiaohai's murder.
It took Han Bin a whole day just to lead Ma Shengkai to identify the crime scenes. In the morning, he identified the Jiufu Gold Shop robbery scene, and in the afternoon, he went to Zhao Xiaohai's old house to identify the crime scene.
He was busy all the way until April 29th, when the case was finally completely closed.
It was Labor Day. Han Bin also had a rare long holiday.
He was on leave on the first, second, and third days, and went to the city police station on the fourth and fifth days.
As for the schedule for these three days, Han Bin had already planned it. He would spend time with his family and take Wang Ting out to relax.
On the night of April 30th, Han Bin drove his parents back to his hometown to celebrate the holiday with Han Weidong.
Seeing his grandson, Han Tingqian was very happy. He pulled Han Bin's hand and asked all sorts of questions. Of course, the most talked about was Han Bin's marriage. Han Bin and Wang Ting had known each other for a year.
During this period, Han Tingqian had also seen Wang Ting a few times. He felt that this girl was not bad. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also virtuous. She could live a good life.
The relationship between the two was also very good. Since they were suitable in all aspects, there was no need to dawdle anymore. They should get married earlier and have children earlier. Maybe he could even have a great-grandson earlier.
Han Bin could understand his grandfather's feelings, but Han Bin still felt that this kind of thing should take its course. It was not that he did not want to marry Wang Ting, but he felt that it was not the right time yet.
Han Bin also did not want to be forced to marry by the old man, so he quickly changed the topic. "Grandpa, my uncle is getting married. Do you know about it?"
"What? Qingsheng is getting married? When? Didn't he not have a girlfriend the last time I saw him? "The old man said in surprise.
Han Bin saw that the effect of changing the topic was good, so he continued, "I only found out about it not long ago. My uncle is doing business with her, and the two of them fell in love. My mother is trying to get them married earlier."
"They should get married earlier. Qingsheng is not young anymore. Oh yeah, how old is the girl? Have you seen her?"
"I saw her once. She is younger than my uncle, about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old."
"That's good. They can get married earlier and have a child."
Sure enough, the old man's thoughts were the same as Wang Huifang's.
Wang Huifang took over the conversation. "Dad, you and I are thinking the same thing. I also hope that he can get married earlier. After all, the two of them are not young anymore."
"When are you going to let them get married?"
"Sigh, if it were up to me, I would let them get married on May 1st. But the crux of this matter is the girl. "
"Yes, yes, we still have to listen to the girl's opinion. We can't be too hasty."
Seeing that the topic had been successfully changed, Han Bin naturally stepped aside.
In terms of marriage, his uncle was very useful as a shield, but it would not be used for long.
Han Bin rested in his hometown for two days and returned to the city on the morning of May 2nd.
He first sent his parents home, then bought some fruits and went to Wang Ting's house.
He had not been here for a while, so he had to make some connections with his future in-laws.
"Dong dong …"
"Woof woof woof …"
As soon as Han Bin knocked on the door, he heard a dog barking.
"Stop barking. If you make any more noise, I'll stew you first." Song Min's voice came from inside the house.
"Creak …" Wang Ting opened the door and a corgi ran over and barked at the door. "Woof woof …"
Wang Ting was afraid that it would run out of the house, so she quickly blocked it with her feet and sent it back into the house.
Although the corgi barked fiercely, it was still young and had a childish voice. It sounded quite cute.
Han Bin was not afraid of it and walked straight into the house.
As soon as Han Bin entered the door, Little Corgi pounced on his leg and even scratched Han Bin's shoes with its claws.
Han Bin did not spoil it and threw it to the ground.
"Ow ow …" Little Corgi cried out in aggrievement from the fall.
"Niu Niu, come here. Don't pounce on people," Wang Yan berated.
Little Corgi seemed to understand. It ran to Wang Yan's side and barked at Han Bin as if it was demonstrating its strength.
"This little guy is quite impressive." Han Bin smiled and greeted them. "Uncle and Auntie, happy Labor Day."
Song Min said with a smile.
"So be it. Why did you bring so many things?"
"I went back to my hometown the day before yesterday. These vegetables were all grown by my relatives. I gave them a lot, so I brought some over for you."
"This is pretty good. It's home-grown vegetables. I can eat them at ease." Song Min took the bag from Han Bin's hand and sighed. "Food safety is a big problem now. We don't dare to eat meat, and we're afraid that there will be excessive pesticide residues in the vegetables. We can't even stop worrying when we buy vegetables."
Wang Yan stroked the dog's fur. "We're all afraid of one line of work. The meat seller doesn't let the children eat meat, and the vegetable seller doesn't let the children eat vegetables. They have no bottom line at all when their own people harm their own people. "
Song Min said, "It's all because of money."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Wang Yan waved his hand and pointed to the sofa next to him. "Han Bin, hurry up and sit down. Let's have some tea and go play a few games."
"Uncle, there's no hurry to play chess. We have plenty of time later. I'll show you my skills today. Leave lunch to me. "
Song Min was a little surprised. "How can I do that? It's not easy for you to come here. How can I let you cook?"
"Auntie, you're treating me like an outsider. As long as I have time, I'll cook at home. If you don't believe me, you can ask Wang Ting."
Wang Ting nodded. "Mom, just let him do it. Han Bin's culinary skills are not bad."
"I'm not afraid that you won't be able to cook well. I'm just afraid that you're not familiar with the kitchen."
This was a very practical problem. If one did not even know where the kitchen utensils and seasonings were, it would definitely be inconvenient to cook.
"It's okay. I'll help him. He doesn't know, but I do." Wang Ting recommended herself. She also wanted her boyfriend to show off his skills in front of her parents.
At this point, Song Min went with the flow and agreed. Who didn't want a ready-made meal?
Furthermore, she also wanted to see Han Bin's culinary skills. Although Han Bin was busy with work and even if he knew how to cook, he would not cook too much in the future, this was a matter of attitude.
A man who could cook was a plus.
Han Bin's culinary skills were not bad. However, he did not cook often and was not familiar enough. His cooking speed was slightly slower.
He knew that he was lacking, so he went into the kitchen early to get busy.
Before he came, Han Bin had already prepared the dishes. He was going to make six dishes and one soup today.
Four of them were meat dishes and two were vegetarian dishes. The combination of meat and vegetables was more nutritious.
After that, Han Bin and Wang Ting got busy in the kitchen. The two of them chatted as they cooked. They were enjoying themselves and did not feel that cooking was tiring at all.
On the other hand, Wang Yan and Song Min were resting in the living room. They even quarreled from time to time.
When it was close to midnight, the six dishes and one soup were ready.
There was fish, sea cucumber, tofu, mutton, rabbit, green vegetables, and a pot of duck soup.
Seeing the dishes on the table, Song Min and Wang Yan were stunned. Although Han Bin said that he knew how to cook, the two of them thought that Han Bin only knew how to make some home-cooked dishes.
But now, it seemed that they had underestimated Han Bin. Just from the appearance of the dishes, they could tell that it was not worse than a regular restaurant.
"Uncle, Auntie, how do you like the taste? I've been busy recently and haven't cooked for a while. If it doesn't taste good, please forgive me. "
Song Min said, "Let's not talk about the taste first. Just the way he cooks is better than your uncle. The only dishes that can be considered his specialty are stir-fried peanuts and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. "
Wang Yan pouted and did not refute. He picked up a piece of sea cucumber and took a bite.
Although braised sea cucumber with scallions was simple, it was a test of one's culinary skills. If it was not marinated well, it would have a fishy smell. If it was stir-fried for too long, it would not be cooked.
Wang Yan took a bite and nodded slightly. Without saying anything, he chewed in big mouthfuls.
Wang Ting blinked her big eyes and said in a boastful tone, "Dad, how does it taste?"
Wang Yan gave her a thumbs up. "It's delicious. This dish is cooked to a high standard. It's even better than your mother's."
Song Min did not believe it. She had been cooking for so many years. How could she lose to a young man who did not cook often? This dog owner must have said that on purpose to anger her.
Song Min also picked up a piece of sea cucumber and put it in her mouth. Her expression changed slightly.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "How is it? I didn't lie. It really tastes better than yours. "
Song Min praised, "Han Bin, your culinary skills are not bad. If I didn't know that you were a police officer, I would have thought that you were a chef."
"Auntie, don't say that. I'll get arrogant. Uncle, Auntie, try the other dishes and see if they are to your liking. "
Song Min picked up another piece of tofu and ate it. From what she could see, the braised sea cucumber with scallions was probably Han Bin's specialty. The other dishes might not be as good.
However, Song Min was shocked once again. The tofu that Han Bin made was also very delicious. It was a modified version of the Potbelly Tofu. She often made this dish but she could not control the heat well. However, the Potbelly Tofu that Han Bin made was better than hers in terms of taste and texture.
Wang Yan, who was at the side, kept nodding. "It's delicious. This tofu is delicious too."
Song Min ignored him and didn't bother to speak. She picked up another piece of lamb chop and ate it. This lamb chop should have been fried. It tasted very crispy and didn't have a trace of odor. With some chives on it, the taste was even better.
Song Min usually did not like to eat lamb but this time, she felt that the lamb chop was very delicious. She ate two pieces in a row.
Then, Song Min tried the other dishes. Every dish was very delicious. It was almost at the level of a restaurant's chef. However, the taste was slightly different from the restaurant's. It was more like a home-cooked dish.
After eating, Song Min looked at Han Bin in a different way. She had to admit that Han Bin's culinary skills were better than hers.
This was too much of a blow.
He was such an outstanding son-in-law. Not only did he have a promising career, but his culinary skills were also great. She had to make Tingting work hard to prevent him from being snatched away.
