1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 123: Writing and Sister-in-law
Once upon a time, Xu Yuexin was still in elementary school.

Every Friday and Saturday night, he would sit in front of the TV waiting for the show to air.

As for why he didn’t watch it at other times, it was purely because "Criminal Investigation Team 6" was broadcast later and he was still a child at the time and couldn’t stand it for that long.

Xu Yuexin now plans to restore "Serious Crime Unit 6" into the form of a novel, and there are several problems to be solved in the process.

First of all, "Serious Crime Unit 90" reflects the criminal investigation stories from the late s to the beginning of the century. Some of the case-solving methods, the daily work of the police and the social outlook are different from the current ones.

Xu Yuexin plans to visit nearby police stations and public security bureaus to understand the current working conditions and methods of the police and ensure that the details of the novel are in line with current reality.

Next, it is the writing style of the novel.

"Serious Crime Unit 6" is basically a unit drama in form, and the cases are independent of each other, but there are still individual clues, such as Sister Ji's sister, which connect different episodes.

Xu Yuexin intends to cut off these clues and make "Serious Crime Unit 6" a complete unit drama.

Because the core attraction of this drama is to watch the police solve cases, other side plots are not very attractive.

Moreover, some of Ji Jie's sister Ji Ran's behaviors really raise people's blood pressure, so it's better not to write about them.

After making up his mind, Xu Yuexin rode his motorcycle to the police station where he had reported the case before to collect materials.

It was quite hot outside, but it was cool once the motorcycle started.

Xu Yuexin rode his bike freely on the East Third Ring Road and arrived at the police station after a while.

As soon as Xu Yuexin entered the police station, the older policeman from last time recognized him immediately.

"Isn't this the young man who bravely stood up for justice last time? His name is Xu Yuexin, right?"

The older police chief, holding a teacup in his hand, stepped forward and asked, "Why, are you here to report a crime again?"

"Hello, police officer. I am not here to report a crime."

Xu Yuexin smiled and walked forward and said, "I'm a writer. I want to write a novel about criminal investigation, so I came to ask you about the current situation of the public security department."

"In terms of nature, it belongs to collecting folk songs."

"Write a book? So you are a writer."

The older policeman was delighted after hearing this and took the initiative to extend his hand, "Hello, hello, nice to meet you, comrade writer."

"My name is Tu Ming, and I'm the leader of the security team here."

"Ask me anything you need to know."

"Well, it won't disturb your work, will it?"

"At least not today. There are fewer people reporting crimes today, haha."

After Tu Ming finished speaking, he invited Xu Yuexin into the police station office and started chatting with him.

Xu Yuexin needed to understand how police currently work, while Tu Ming was very interested in the writer's daily life.

During the chat, the two asked each other questions, and Xu Yuexin kept writing down the questions and answers in his notebook.

It is true that Tu Ming is a policeman, but because of his seniority and his deep understanding of the working methods of criminal police, he can fully meet Xu Yuexin's questions.

The interview lasted until the evening, and Xu Yuexin filled a notebook with notes.

In the following days, whenever he was not supervising, he would run to Tu Mingdai's police station and ask any policeman who was free, all about things related to the police's work and life.

After several trips, Xu Yuexin finally completed the preliminary data collection work and was able to summarize the work and life conditions of the police in this era.

Based on the information he got from Tu Ming, Xu Yuexin could be sure of one thing: the police in this era had many more ways to solve cases than he had imagined.

We have fingerprint identification technology, blood type identification technology, footprint identification and so on.

What is missing is the DNA matching technology and the cameras that will be everywhere in the market.

In addition, all kinds of comparisons and identifications must be completed with the naked eye and cannot be compared through computers.

In short, it is basically the same as Xu Yuexin's guess.

With these valuable materials, Xu Yuexin can ensure that the details he writes are consistent with the current situation.

The first case he planned to write was the murder and arson case of Feng Li in the fourth part of "Serious Crime Unit 6".

When Xu Yuexin was a primary school student, he was so scared by this case that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

But the more he was afraid, the more he wanted to watch it. Every time he finished watching it, he would immediately shrink into the quilt.
Now, it's time to bring the nightmare back to our readers.

When Xu Yuexin picked up the pen, he couldn't help but smile evilly.

Rotting corpses, murders of entire families, and murderers with antisocial personalities...

Readers of this era have certainly never seen such themes and content.

……

Xu Yuexin kept writing until the evening, and even Chen Yixiu was slightly surprised when she saw it.

"Have you become obsessed with writing?"

When Xu Yuexin walked out of the bedroom, Chen Yixue looked at him curiously and said, "I haven't seen you come out all day."

"Can't you think of a better adjective?"

Xu Yuexin moved his sore wrist, rubbed his eyes and said, "This is called forgetting both the self and the world, do you understand?"

"Okay, I just went out to buy food."

Chen Yixue pointed at the roast duck and rice on the table and said, "Come and eat."

“You still can’t cook?”

"No, I'll learn it later."

"Well, I see you have no intention of learning."

Xu Yuexin and his sister-in-law sat down at the dining table and started eating.

After a hard day of typing, the food tastes especially delicious.

In the following period of time, Xu Yuexin spent all his time writing except for supervising the work. He finally finished the Feng Li family-murder and arson case before moving, which totaled 120,000 words.

"Serious Crime Unit 6" is composed of several unit dramas, and Xu Yuexin has taken the first step this time.

The title of this article is "The Case of Family Massacre by Serious Crime Unit 6", and Xu Yuexin plans to submit it to People's Literature.

The next morning, Xu Yuexin went to his sister-in-law's bedroom and called Wang Chaoyin, saying that he would go to the magazine to submit an article to him later.

"Submit an article? Sure. I've been waiting for you to come over after Ming Dynasty is finished."

In the receiver, Wang Chaoyin responded enthusiastically.

After ending the call, Xu Yuexin took the 166-word manuscript and went to No. Chaonei Compound.

My sister-in-law’s house is very close to People’s Literature, and Xu Yuexin only takes five minutes to get there by motorcycle.

When Xu Yuexin got off the motorcycle at the door, the security officer she met when she first came to submit her article came up.

"Comrade writer, are you here to submit your work again?" "Yes, is it your turn to stand guard today?"

"Yes."

The security officer asked curiously, but a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I have a question that has been on my mind for a long time."

"Just say it. It's so uncomfortable to hold it in. Haha."

"Did you come here from the Northeast that time?"

puff.

Xu Yuexin was amused by this simple security guard.

He didn't expect that a lie he told would trouble the other party for more than a year.

"That was indeed the case. Later, we moved back to the capital."

Xu Yuexin said seriously.

"Is that so? How could you possibly come here from the Northeast on a motorcycle, and come here so frequently..."

The security officer muttered to himself.

"Hey, that's right."

Xu Yuexin laughed and quickly pushed his motorcycle towards the parking shed deep in the compound.

He was afraid that the security officer would raise another question and he would not be able to continue his story.

After parking the car, I went upstairs to the editorial office and submitted the manuscript.

"Lao Wang, you can review it first, and then remit the manuscript fee to me via this address."

After saying this, Xu Yuexin handed the note with the new home address to Wang Chaoyin.

"Sure, no problem."

Wang Chaoyin took the note and said, "I'll interrogate it in a moment."

After leaving People's Literature, Xu Yuexin rode his bike back to Tuanjie Lake to pack up his belongings to move there.

Chen Qiaoqiao was cleaning the newly renovated house at the Duke's Mansion, so there were only him and his sister-in-law in the room.

"What date are you moving?"

His sister-in-law asked as she came up to help him pack his clothes and luggage.

"Just these few days, let's pick a good day."

Xu Yuexin asked busily, "Why can't you bear to part with me?"

"Oh, I can't bear to?"

Chen Yixiu cast a disdainful look.

Xu Yuexin curled his lips when he saw this.

"Am I getting in your way here?"

"Whether it's an eyesore or not is another matter, but I have to be on guard against you anyway."

"Now that you're gone, at least I don't have to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"Then why aren't you on guard against me now?"

Xu Yuexin raised his eyebrows.

Now there are only him and his sister-in-law in the room.

Chen Yixue sneered, took out an object from her packed luggage, and placed it on the table next to Xu Yuexin: "Well, if you are really shameless, then I can't do anything about it."

Xu Yuexin took a closer look and saw that it was the display stand for his and Chen Qiaoqiao’s wedding photos.

My sister-in-law reacted quite quickly and actually thought of taking this out.

But how could it be difficult to get Xu Yuexin?

He reached out and picked up the display table, stuffed it into the suitcase, and then kissed his sister-in-law on the face.

"It won't matter if you put it in the box."

Xu Yuexin said to his bewildered sister-in-law.

Chen Yixiu was simply stunned.

She thought that after she said that, Xu Yuexin would not dare to do it again.

Who knew he would be so shameless as to just put away the table and act as if nothing had happened.

It’s really challenging the bottom line!

"Shameless and shameless!"

Chen Yixiu glared at Xu Yuexin with extreme contempt, turned around and left.

Xu Yuexin was not in a hurry. There were still several days left, so he had plenty of time to slowly control his sister-in-law.

After packing his luggage, Xu Yuexin went to the Duke's Mansion to help his wife clean.

The construction waste has been cleared by the construction team, and they only need to clean up the dust, wood chips and the like left over during the house renovation process.

When Xu Yuexin arrived, he saw his daughter-in-law sweeping the front yard and a sack of garbage was piled in the corner.

"Can this sack be thrown away?"

Xu Yuexin walked to the corner and said.

"Well, the trash can is on the left side of the door, just go straight ahead."

Chen Qiaoqiao said without even turning her head.

Xu Yuexin picked up the garbage and went out, when he saw Chen Yixiu walking towards him from the entrance of the alley.

"Why, are you chasing me?"

Xu Yuexin stopped and said after his sister-in-law walked up to him.

"I'm worried about tiring Qiaoqiao."

With the previous experience of being kissed in mind, Chen Yixiu hurriedly responded and turned to walk into the front yard.

When Xu Yuexin came back from throwing out the garbage, he saw her taking over from Chen Qiaoqiao and pouring the dust in the dustpan into a new bag, while Chen Qiaoqiao was resting with her back to the side.

Xu Yuexin walked up quickly and patted his sister-in-law on her butt.

Chen Yixue immediately glared at him: My sister is right in front of me, and he actually...
