Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 475 Lend Me Your Son-in-Law
The two newlyweds held hands tightly, and the wedding convoy arrived at the host hotel after driving for half an hour.

This hotel was opened by a friend of Chen Zhiyao, and the wedding company is also run by the hotel itself. Everything is of the highest standard. Although the standards are high, they are low-key, luxurious and restrained, and you can't see how exaggerated they are.

For example, the embellishment of the copper candlestick, everyone thought it was a copper candlestick, but only a few people knew that it was made of gold, a gold candlestick.

The son of the Chen Group is getting married, so how could Chen Zhiyao possibly use copper products on the scene?

It’s not for showing off, otherwise I would definitely find a way to let all the guests know.

The wedding style is neo-Chinese, with red and gold as the only colors. It is not monotonous but extremely solemn. The on-site environment combines traditional and modern elements, reflecting the profound national culture while displaying fashion and creativity.

In the center of the venue, the exquisite Chinese wedding stage is particularly eye-catching. The Chinese screen is embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. On both sides of the stage, the blooming peonies are full of vitality.

The venue was grand and lively, with not only a stage but also tables lined up for dining.

After discussion, Chen Zhiyao and Fang Songping decided to give up the private banquet room. Both the wedding and the dinner were held in the same hall. The entire process was transparent, and there was no need to worry about being recorded or gossiped by gossipers.

Leaders are also human beings and they also want to give their children a perfect wedding full of memories. Therefore, Fang Songping made concessions on some issues and followed Chen Zhiyao's advice.

The wedding and dinner were held simultaneously. When Fang Shuyu made her stunning appearance in a phoenix coronet and bridal gown, small appetizers were already being served. Everyone ate while watching, and some had already poured themselves some wine.

In order not to disturb the emcee and the newlyweds, they chatted in low voices and paid attention from time to time.

Gu Jingfeng and Fang Yanjun were sitting at the same table, closest to the stage. Chen Yi could already see them at a glance, and both of them smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Ren Moyong and his friends also came. As good friends, they had to be present at the wedding.

Colleagues who came included He Shixin, Zhuo Yun and others, but they had to leave immediately after dinner because they could not put down their work in the bureau.

Zhuge Cong and his companions arrived with their gifts but not in person, as there were very few people from the provincial and ministerial departments present.

The wedding began with a song sung by Chen Yi, which was sung for the bride. He had rehearsed it for a long time and although the song was not heavenly, it did sound great and won everyone's applause.

Chen Yi is not a socially anxious person, but he felt a little nervous seeing so many familiar people around him. He stepped forward, solemnly took Fang Shuyu away from Fang Songping, and then the cute flower girl presented him with the ring.

The process is complicated but well-received. The MC’s teasing of the best man and bridesmaid is inevitable, as is serving tea. In addition, there will be speeches by the witness and guest representatives.

The witness was Chen Zhiyao's friend, and the guest representative chose the groom's friend Ren Moyong.

From then on, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu officially became husband and wife. They changed their clothes and toasted each table one by one.

On the other side, Jiang Fanlei, who was only good at talking, watched the bridesmaid leave with resentment. In the end, he did not muster up the courage to ask for her contact information. He sighed to the sky amid Xu Can's sinister smile.

"Girls nowadays are too reserved. I'm so handsome, but you don't even have the courage to ask for my contact information?" Jiang Fanlei sighed.

Xu Can had the urge to kick the other person. If there was a competition for narcissism, you would definitely be the champion.

"Uncle Gu."

Chen Yi bent down and handed the glass of wine to Gu Jingfeng, who took it with a smile: "Congratulations, I must drink this glass of wedding wine to share in the good luck."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Yi did not know some of the people attending the wedding. For example, he was a stranger to the middle-aged man sitting with Fang Songping. When Fang Songping came over to toast him, he did not introduce himself, so he did not ask much and just treated him as an old friend of the other party.

To be able to attend a friend’s daughter’s wedding, the relationship must be very good.

After the toast, Chen Yi and his friends finally had a chance to eat. However, due to being too hungry and tired, no one had much appetite.

Fang Shuyu had already prepared red envelopes and handed them to the two best men and two bridesmaids one by one to thank them for their help.

The red envelope was not much, just two hundred yuan, but actually one hundred would be enough. Chen Yi said that giving an extra hundred would make good things come in pairs.

Jiang Fanlei originally wanted to refuse, he didn't expect the best man to actually take money. But after seeing the two bridesmaids accept it, he stopped being pretentious.

It's just for good luck, I can't offend Fang Shuyu.

Both bridesmaids were single, and Fang Shuyu knew them well enough to know their characters were fine. Chen Yi also knew Jiang Fanlei well, so he wanted to introduce him to him. The topics of conversation revolved around the second-hand car lot and the island in the middle of the lake.

Women definitely like to hear about men’s career achievements. As long as the first impression is good, then career is a plus.

No one doesn't love money. Even if you are not a gold digger and have low material requirements, isn't money the icing on the cake? Who would think money is a waste?

"Lake Island? Oh, I know. I drove past it once. It's under development. Is it your project?"

One bridesmaid was very interested, while the other seemed to have a neutral feeling towards Jiang Fanlei and was chatting with Fang Shuyu next to her.

Jiang Fanlei perked up: "Yes! My project! A hotel in the future!"

The bridesmaid smiled and said, "That place is in a great location. If it is developed in the future, it may become a landmark building in Yangcheng."

Jiang Fanlei was delighted: "What you said... is very forward-looking."

What he wanted to say was: You are absolutely right! Say more! I love to hear it!

Worried about being thought of as a fool, he changed his words at the last minute.

Seeing the two of them starting to have an in-depth communication, Chen Yi smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank with Xu Can. Of course he had to drink his own wedding wine to add to his joy.

The whole venue gradually became noisy. After three rounds of drinking, everyone started talking more. Chen Yi also drank a lot and started to visit other people. It was very convenient to eat in the same venue. It was only a few steps away. It was less private and more lively.

"Go to the Imperial City if you have a chance. That's the right stage for you."

When they came to Fang Yanjun's table, an old man spoke.

Chen Yi was very curious about the identities of these people. One of them looked the oldest. He even wanted to ask him if he had ever taken a stroll on the grass, but he didn't dare to ask more and could only suppress his curiosity in his heart.

Fang Yanjun smiled: "Young people have their own ideas. We had no choice before and had to move forward. Now they have a choice. This is a good thing. We can take it slow."

The other party nodded and agreed with Fang Yanjun's words. Compared with forcing things to happen, steady development is the most important thing. Chen Yi is still very young and has a long way to go.

After leaving Fang Yanjun's table, Chen Yi went to find Fang Songping.

This time Chen Yi dared to ask, his eyes fixed on the middle-aged man.

"This is Old Xia, Xia Lanshan." Fang Songping introduced with a smile, "He's from the Yunzhou Provincial Department, one level lower than me, in charge of criminal investigation."

Xia Lanshan's hair was a little gray, and he was immediately unhappy when he heard Fang Songping's next words: "Old Fang, do you need to specifically mention the lower level?"

Fang Songping coughed lightly: "I don't mean anything else, just tell the truth."

Xia Lanshan's face turned dark, but the alcohol made it red, which was quite funny.

The two do seem to have a good relationship and can tease each other.

Fang Songping then said, "It's not the mountain with dim lights and peaks that you think it is."

Chen Yi understood and raised his glass to the other party: "Ting Xia."

Fang Songping corrected: "Deputy Director Xia!"

Chen Yi blinked. He didn't want to get involved, so he changed his words and called him Uncle Xia with high emotional intelligence. Xia Lanshan smiled happily when he heard it, while Fang Songping grinned slightly but didn't know what to say.

"You have a bright future, young man. I have heard all about your deeds. Well done. I like you very much."

Chen Yi didn't know whether the other party was talking about the case, the cross-river bridge or Qifeng Island. He said a few humble words and left.

Xia Lanshan's gaze followed the direction Chen Yi left, but Fang Songping suddenly slapped him: "What are you looking at! Did you see a pretty girl? Are you planning to take advantage of Chen Yi?"

"Why would I set my sights on him?" Xia Lanshan was speechless.

Facing his old friend, Fang Songping lost his seriousness and sneered, "You flew all the way from Yunzhou to Dongzhou, just to attend my daughter's wedding? How can I not believe it?"

Xia Lanshan was angry: "Lao Fang! What are you talking about? I must come to your daughter's wedding!"

Fang Songping: "I didn't go to your son's wedding."

Xia Lanshan: "I repay evil with kindness."

Fang Songping looked doubtful. He had asked for a long time yesterday but got no answer. He always felt that the old man had other purposes.

It's not a petty mind, it's the sensitivity of the police and their understanding of their friends.

"How's things going in Yunzhou lately?" Fang Songping changed the subject.

Hearing this, Xia Lanshan shook his head and sighed, "It's not optimistic. The chief criminal investigator is almost at retirement age, and the only deputy chief was injured during a mission and is still in the hospital. If something really happens, there's no one available."

The number of deputy positions in the Criminal Investigation Corps in different regions will vary. Some provinces have two or three, while some provinces only have one, depending on the actual local situation.

If there is a shortage, arrange more; if there is no shortage, arrange less.

Fang Songping stopped joking and said, "Since we are near the border, there must be a lot of things to do. Let's focus on cultivating new forces. Young people nowadays are amazing."

Xia Lanshan: "You are praising Chen Yi in disguise!"

Fang Songping: "No, seriously."

Xia Lanshan stared at him for a while, then picked up the wine glass: "Congratulations again, Mr. Fang. Your daughter is getting married, and you can put your biggest worry aside. I wish the newlyweds happiness forever."

Fang Songping thanked him and clinked his glass with the other party.

Xia Lanshan drank up first, then said, "Old Fang, we are old friends, family members. Can you lend me your son-in-law?"

The sudden words made Fang Songping stop drinking, and he spat out the wine without swallowing it.

This drink is a toast!
"I knew something was wrong with you!" Fang Songping wiped his mouth and glared at Xia Lanshan, "What do you mean by lending it to you? Do you think I'm borrowing money?"

Xia Lanshan was helpless: "There's a rather troublesome case in Yunzhou, and I don't have anyone I can use. Chen Yi's investigation skills are pretty wicked. Let him go back with me? I'll reimburse all the expenses."

Fang Songping: "You can't even praise others, what do you mean by being evil?"

Xia Lanshan smiled and said, "Then I'll change the word to say, very impressive. At this age... he is definitely a talent, which is exactly what I need right now."
