102 Loyalty and Righteousness

The spring of 1979.

The lotus is in full bloom and the sun is warm.

In the shade of the trees outside Biwu Prison, Lin Yue did not pick up the cigarettes that Chen Bin handed over.

“Why, really quit?”

He nodded bitterly.

“Sister Qing didn’t see you quit smoking when she gave birth to Xiaoxi. Now a little cat treats you submissively. Is this still the prestigious Inspector Lin back then?”

Kitten is the name of the daughter Rose gave to him, because when she was a child, a neighbor’s Sanhua cat would make a giggle when she called her, so she gave her this name.

Axin patted Chen Bin on the shoulder: “Don’t make fun of Brother Yue, the kitten has infantile asthma and can’t smell smoke. You don’t know about this.”

“The doctor said it would be better if you grow up.” Lin Yue picked a leaf off, put it under his nose and sniffed, there was a faint fragrance of vegetation.

“Brother Yue, I have a question in my heart for a long time, and I don’t know if it should be asked.”

Lin Yue looked up at Ah Xin and said, “What’s the problem.”

“You persuaded Brother Bin not to fight for the position of inspector in Kwun Tong District. Did you know that things would turn out to be like this?”

At the beginning, Xue Jifu ordered the expansion of the police force. As long as Lin Yue helped Chen Bin speak, it was not difficult to get an inspector, but he did not do so. Instead, he persuaded Chen Bin to give up the idea of ​​going to Kwun Tong District to be an inspector. Yaoji waited. People didn’t understand it. Until the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1974, HK set off an anti-corruption storm. All detectives and most of the police chiefs were invited to the ICAC for tea. Chen Bin and Yaoji were all secretly glad they didn’t get on the bus. In 1977, the Governor of Hong Kong issued an amnesty, announcing that he would no longer be held accountable for corruption committed by police officers before January 1, 1977. The heart of several people who mentioned their throats finally fell back in their stomachs.

Recalling what happened in the past few years, Lin Yue seemed to be a prophet who could predict.

Lin Yue glanced at him: “You are not serious, if you are as greedy as those police inspectors, you will still be sent to prison.”

“Which amount of black money we collected hasn’t passed through your hands.” A Xin whispered.

“What did you say?”

“No, I didn’t speak.” A Xin lied solemnly.

“Brother Zi is here.”

Chen Bin interrupted the two of them.

Lin Yue followed the prestige and saw a gray van approaching from the bottom of the sloping road. It stopped less than ten meters away from a few people.

“Brother Yue, Chen Bin, A Xin, you guys came really early.”

A Xin looked up and down around the lard boy for a while: “I’m thin, really thin.”

Lin Yue smiled and asked, “How’s your business going?”

“For the blessing of Brother Yue, the investigators of the Independent Commission Against Corruption go to my place to spend every day, and I have nothing but food and clothing for their business.”

As Lei Luo’s rent collector, Lard was sentenced to 4 years’ imprisonment. Because of his good performance during his sentence, he was reduced to 3 years. He was released and returned to society early last summer. I opened a pork shop, and the business is very impressive.

Lin Yue remembered the previous two people’s conversation about the nickname “Lard Boy”: “You are also a son of your father’s inheritance.”

Lard said, “Thank you, Brother Yue.”

He was very sincerely thanking him. If it hadn’t been for Yaoji to send him the metal shield, Yan Tong would have killed him with a single shot. On the roof of the old building of the Kowloon Walled City, he jumped off to protect Lei Luo Chaolin. With a shot, Lin Yue didn’t blame him afterwards. After the sentence was over, he helped him open a shop in Yau Ma Tei. This kindness will not be reported in the next life, let alone the next life.

Lin Yue patted him on the shoulder: “Forget the conversation between the two of us on the balcony when Luo Ge was re-elected as Inspector General of China?”

Lard thought about it carefully. At that time, he was talking about people in this industry, who didn’t want to leave a back road for himself. Lin Yue asked him what his back road was, and he smiled and said to you, Brother Yue.

Unexpectedly, many years later, Lin Yue really left him a way out.

No, it should be said that he left a way for everyone around him.

“Look, the door is open, the door is open.” Chen Bin pointed to the prison gate and said.

A prison guard walked out and saw a few people standing not far away saluting, and a familiar figure came into view.

Lei Luo’s appearance has not changed much, only a little white hair has been added to his head.

“Brother Luo.” Lard said hello from a distance.

Lin Yue took Chen Bin and Ah Xin over: “Brother Luo, congratulations on your release from prison.”

Lei Luo stared at him for a while, stretched out his right hand to hold his hand together: “Thank you for coming to pick me up.”

“Brother Luo, Brother Luo, cross the brazier, save bad luck.”

At this time, the lard took out a white porcelain basin from the van, placed it in front of Lei Luo, and put a roll of paper in it and lit it with a lighter.

“It’s just you.” Leiluo smiled and stepped across the brazier, and walked to the parking area under Chen Bin’s greeting.

Lard didn’t know what he thought of: “Huh, it’s not right.”

A Xin said: “What’s wrong.”

“Why are there no reporters? There is no one to report on such a major event as the 500 million detective who was released from prison after serving his sentence?”

“Brother Yue knows that Brother Luo likes to be clean, and tells the newspaper people in advance not to bother them.”

“Oh, that’s it.”

Leiluo asked Lin Yue as he walked forward, “Where is Xue’er?”

“The weather in Canada is not good. My sister-in-law called and said that the flight was delayed. She is expected to arrive at HK in the evening. I have asked Yaoji and Yahuang to pick them up at the airport.”

“You are still so capable, everything is arranged in an orderly manner.” Lei Luo walked to the front of the car door and stopped: “Would you like to see Ahao?”

“Okay.” Lin Yue told Chen Bin, who was driving in front of him: “Go to Stanley Prison.”

“Brother Luo.”

“Um?”

“do you hate me?”

“No hate.”

“why?”

“Because I used to have justice just like you, but something happened later and my thoughts changed. Now I see you living the way I dreamed of when I was young, and I am really relieved.” He took the cup from Ah Xin and drank. A mouthful: “It’s worth it to trade four years of imprisonment for a result that doesn’t have to live in a foreign land.”

The court sentenced Lei Luo to six years in prison. The original sentence did not end until the end of 1981. Later, because Cher voluntarily returned most of the stolen money, Lei Luo’s sentence was reduced to four years and he was released from prison this spring.

Lin Yue smiled: “What do you want to eat tonight?”

“The pineapple oil in the Meidu restaurant.”

…

New Year’s Day in 1980.

Bang~

Bang~

Bang~

Gorgeous fireworks bloomed over Victoria Bay, New Year’s bells rang both inside and outside Hong Kong Island, and the streets were blazing with neon lights and tourists celebrating the arrival of the New Year.

Leiluo was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. On the blanket over the coffee table was a kitten playing with clay. Lin Xi stood in front of the mirror and tried the new clothes that Xueer brought her from Toronto. Anzai was behind her. Soaring in English.

The doorbell in the living room rang, and Bai Qing went over to open the door. The lard boy carried a large piece of bacon to congratulate the Happy New Year. On the wall behind, he held vegetables and seafood in his arms, and the chicken on the right was carrying two bottles of red wine. Chen Bin said gleefully. A Xin’s son had a kick in football in the afternoon. When his father was taking care of the children at home, he didn’t take any oral medications at night. He was holding the couplet and smiling like a comedian in the back.

In the kitchen, Rose took the soaked sea cucumber into the sink to rinse, and Cher took a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth to taste the saltiness.

Lin Yue opened the door of the study and walked to the balcony on the second floor with a letter from Penang, Malaysia, smiling at the lively night sky.

At this time, there was a crisp counting sound in my mind, 10, 9, 8, 7…
