Huayuan District, Room 601.
The 513 case had been solved and had entered the closing stage. Han Bin was free now and could get off work on time.
Han Bin's mother was busy in the kitchen. Han Bin and his father were sitting on the sofa drinking tea, watching TV, and chatting about work.
Han Weidong poured a cup of tea. "Brother Bin, how's the 513 case?"
Han Bin squeezed his neck. "It's been solved today."
Han Weidong smiled. "Not bad. You've solved another big case. Why don't I see that you're in a good mood?"
"How should I put it? This case is a little depressing. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable," Han Bin said.
"This kind of thing is very normal. Don't take it too seriously. There will be a new case in a few days. I don't have the time to worry about this case," Han Weidong said in an experienced tone.
"Okay."
Han Bin replied. He lowered his head and flipped open his phone. There was a smile on his face.
Han Weidong pressed the remote control and changed it to the city's news channel. It was broadcasting this year's college entrance examination news.
"These years have passed so quickly. It's almost time for the college entrance examination. Son, do you still remember when you were taking the college entrance examination? Your mother and I had nothing else to do. We would think about what to cook for you every day. We were afraid that you wouldn't be able to keep up with the nutrition."
"What?" Han Bin raised his head. He seemed to have been distracted. "What's wrong, dad?"
Han Weidong glanced at his son and felt that something was wrong. He purposely changed the topic. "I'm saying that it's almost June and the Olympics are about to begin. I wonder how many gold medals China will get in the Olympics this year."
"Dad, you still don't know. This year, Japan is hosting the Olympics. It has been announced that it will be postponed to next year. Why is your news out? It's not like your usual style, "Han Bin joked. His phone buzzed again and he continued to look at his phone.
Han Weidong asked casually, "Son, what case are you busy with now?"
"Didn't I tell you? The 513 case is going through the closing process. It's not that busy," Han Bin said as he lowered his head and typed.
Han Weidong stroked his stubble. Based on his many years of criminal investigation experience, he could tell that there was something wrong with Han Bin.
Han Weidong did not dare to probe further. If he did, his son would be alerted. He preferred the feeling of being in the dark while the enemy was in the light.
Han Weidong strolled into the kitchen and closed the sliding door. Wang Huifang was cooking in the kitchen. She glanced at her husband and said, "You came in just in time. Try the lamb chops. If there is a gamey smell, I will add more ingredients."
"No need. Didn't I tell you to add onions, ginger, salt, and cooking wine to stew the lamb chops? Don't add anything else. If you add too many seasonings, the original freshness of the lamb will be gone," Han Weidong said.
"Then take the bowls and chopsticks out. The mushrooms and vegetables will be ready soon." Wang Huifang said.
"I have something to talk to you about. Don't chase me away as soon as you come in." Han Weidong scooped up a piece of lamb chops and took a bite. "Fragrant, fresh, and chewy. This guy will definitely be delicious."
"What's the matter? If it's just for a bite of lamb chops, then take it out to eat," Wang Huifang said.
Han Weidong's face turned serious. "You female comrade, can't you speak properly? I am also a cadre. You should have the minimum respect for your leader."
Wang Huifang shook the iron spoon she used to stir-fry vegetables. "Tell me, how should I respect them?"
"Hehe." Han Weidong chuckled and said, "I'm joking with you. At home, you are the leader. I found out about the situation and came to report to you."
Wang Huifang said indifferently, "Say it. I'm listening. Once you're done, hurry up and leave."
"Sigh …" Han Weidong sighed. "If that's your attitude, then I won't say anything."
Wang Huifang turned off the gas stove and glared at Han Weidong. "Alright, say it. What's the matter? I'm listening."
"Answer my question first. Have you introduced anyone to our son recently?"
"No." Wang Huifang responded and said unhappily, "Didn't you say that? Our son has just been transferred to the City Bureau. Don't distract him for the time being. It won't be too late to introduce him to someone when his job is stable."
"If you haven't introduced anyone to him, then it's even more problematic," Han Weidong said.
"What's the problem? Speak clearly."
"Have you noticed that our son has been acting strangely recently?"
Wang Huifang was a little anxious. "Don't scare me. If there's something, say it quickly. Don't leave half of it unsaid."
Han Weidong looked outside and said softly, "I suspect that our son has a girlfriend."
Wang Huifang's interest was immediately piqued. "Really? How come I don't know?"
"Lower your voice. It's not the time to shout yet," Han Weidong said.
"How did you know? Did our son tell you? "
"If he didn't tell you, why would he tell me?" Han Weidong laughed.
"Then how did you know?"
"Actually, it's not that difficult. As long as you pay attention to your son, you'll notice that he's a little different from before."
Wang Huifang harrumphed. "Tell me, what's different?"
Han Weidong recalled for a moment. "In the past, when our son was handling cases, he was busy and didn't come home much. But when the case was closed, he was more relaxed. As long as there wasn't anything to do, he would basically be at home."
"Look at this period of time. When he's handling cases, he's not at home. When the case is closed, he's often eating out. It's just that I called him today and stewed a pot of lamb chops for him. Otherwise, he might still be eating out. This is different from before."
Wang Huifang pondered for a moment. "That seems to be true. But will our son be busy with other things? After all, he's in the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Unit now. He definitely has more things to do than in the district."
Han Weidong continued, "I wasn't sure before, but today, I observed again. Our son definitely has someone outside."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft. What are you talking about? That's called dating. Look at what you're saying." Wang Huifang sighed. "How do you know?"
"In the past, when we were chatting over tea, we had a lot in common. We could talk about any news. But this time, it's different. I'm talking about the college entrance examination and he's talking about the Olympics. He's not even listening to what I'm saying. He's just holding his phone and giggling. He's definitely chatting with his girlfriend."
Wang Huifang asked, "Can you guarantee that? Are you sure? "
Han Weidong said firmly, "I'm sure."
"Why don't I ask him later?" Wang Huifang suggested.
"If he wanted to tell you, he would have told you long ago. If he doesn't want to tell you, it's useless for you to ask him. Let's pretend that we don't know and give him a push. When the time is right, he'll naturally tell us. "
"How do we push him?"
Han Weidong smiled. "Just wait and see. I have an idea."
…
"Time to eat!" Han Weidong shouted.
"Stewed lamb chops, mushroom and vegetable, steamed sea bass, eight treasures porridge, flower rolls. These are all your favorites, kid."
"It smells so good." Han Bin swallowed his saliva and put down his phone to help clean up the dishes.
Han Weidong waved his hand. "Don't fill the eight treasures porridge yet. Today's dishes are so good. Let's just have a few mouthfuls."
Han Weidong took a bottle of wine, unscrewed the cap, and filled the wine divider.
Han Bin picked up the wine divider and poured three glasses of wine.
Han Weidong shouted, "Come, come, come. Let's drink first."
"Why are we leaving? There's so much food here. Drink slowly, both of you," Wang Huifang said.
Han Weidong settled for the next best thing. "Half then."
The three of them clinked glasses. Han Weidong and Han Bin drank half a glass, while Wang Huifang drank about a quarter.
"Son, try it. I stewed the lamb chops, and your mother steamed the fish. Tell me which is better."
Han Bin ate a piece of fish first, then took a bite of the lamb chops. He gave them a thumbs up. "They're all delicious. Luckily, you two didn't open a restaurant. Otherwise, there would be no Haidilao."
"I shouldn't be busy these few days. When I get off work early, I'll cook a few delicious dishes for you."
Han Bin was not being polite. His culinary skills were really good. Previously, he only knew Shandong cuisine. Now that he knew Japanese cuisine, he could let his parents try something new.
The three of them drank a few more glasses of wine. Han Weidong seemed to have thought of something. "Oh right, son. Weren't you a little depressed because of the 513 case? I happen to have a coupon for a resort. You can go out and relax. "
Han Bin poured his father a glass of wine and asked, "What coupon?"
Han Weidong explained, "Some time ago, because of the impact of the epidemic, the tourism industry has not recovered. Various tourism companies are doing promotional activities. My friend gave me a coupon for 40% off. It's at the border of Yuhua suburbs and Laiping City. It's quite close."
Han Bin smiled. "When you have time, take my mother there. You two can also be romantic."
Han Weidong took a bite of fish and said, "Last winter, I took your mother there. It's a hot spring resort. The environment is not bad. You can soak in the hot spring to relieve the pressure of work. "
"Hot spring," Han Bin muttered. Wang Ting's beautiful figure appeared in his mind. He was already a little tempted.
