On the way back from dinner, Zhang Jian and Li Chengzai talked about their suspicions about Liu Gen and Xiangzi.
"Squad leader, tell me, Brother Gen and Xiangzi, where did they get their white coats? What are they doing with their white coats?" Zhang Jian said, "Those two white coats don't look like new ones. They seem to be stained.
There are blood stains that cannot be washed away.”
"They are quite weird. Brother Gen can actually afford a pager. Do you still remember that at noon that day, the pager suddenly beeped?" Li Chengzai asked.
"I remember that I was in a daze when I was woken up by the pager. I heard Xiangzi say something like, 'A dead person is calling...'"
"Also, Xiangzi's watch was engraved with his father's name, but he never talked about his family affairs. How could his father be so rich? He could order a MG watch. When he was brought back by Brother Gen
, I haven’t seen him wearing it on his hand. Why did he suddenly wear it on his hand today? How can a person with such a watch become a bum? There must be something famous here!" Li Chengzai put it to him
The suspicion came out: "What puzzles me the most is that during the military training, Brother Gen's marksmanship surpassed that of Instructor Xu. If he had never learned shooting, would he have the ability to kill someone with a hundred steps?"
"White coat, blood stains, sharpshooter, pager, summoning the dead, famous watch... Oh my God!" Zhang Jian exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Li Chengzai asked.
"Squad leader, do you think Brother Gen and Xiangzi could be..." Zhang Jian glanced at the person walking by, then whispered in Li Chengzai's ear: "Could they be doing that?"
"Which one are you doing?" Li Chengzai didn't understand.
"Professional...killer!"
"Go!" Li Chengzai pushed Zhang Jian away with a palm: "You have watched too many Hong Kong police and gangster movies!"
"Xiangzi was a vagabond in the past. He may have been pretending to cover his true identity or get closer to the target. In other words, Xiangzi was responsible for tracking and investigating, locking the target, and then..." Zhang Jian said
Shooting stance: "Kill the target!"
"Haha... I see you are getting more and more outrageous the more you think about it!" Li Chengzai chuckled and said: "Don't forget, Brother Gen is the top scorer in the college entrance examination. If you want to do what you said, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you can travel freely in the world, and you still can't pass the exam.
Is there any need for Brother Gen to become a medicine man and risk being poisoned to death to make money?"
"That's right. There's no need to pretend and hide in the university."
"Let's use the Wang family's broken love as an excuse tonight and take advantage of Brother Gen's absence to drag Xiangzi outside to drink, drink him to death, and make him speak the truth after drinking." Li Chengzai came up with an idea.
"Okay! Let's do it like this! We must dig out the old background of Brother Gen and Xiangzi!" Zhang Jian nodded in agreement: "But don't go to those small restaurants and barbecue shops on Daxue Road to drink. Go, let's find a quiet and romantic place.
place.”
"Then tell me, where should we go to drink?"
"Wine." Zhang Jian said, "In the wine, it's not as noisy as Daxue Road. It's easy to trick Xiangzi."
"Okay! But you pay the bill."
"no problem!"
The two of them discussed it and returned to the dormitory. The IP phone on the wall behind the door had been installed.
Xiangzi was in front of the phone, holding the receiver to listen for any sound.
"Xiangzi, what's the phone number?" Li Chengzai asked.
"52529308." Xiangzi replied: "The last four digits are your apartment building number and dormitory number."
"In the future, we can ask family members to call the dormitory. We don't have to spend money to call home." Li Chengzai said, picking up the phone that Xiangzi hung up and listening.
Zhang Jian walked to Wang Jiahe's bed and sat down: "Jiahe, do you feel better? How about our brothers go out to drink to relax you and relieve the worries in your stomach with beer?
Pour it out."
Wang Jiahe's eyes behind the lenses rolled his eyes at Zhang Jian and said, "Are you treating me?"
"Haha... No problem, I'm treating you. You can drink as much as you want." ** said, "Let's go to a nearby wine shop. Maybe we can meet beautiful girls from other universities."
Wang Jiahe jumped off the bed: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now."
"Where is the wine around here?" Li Chengzai asked: "Xiangzi, you have stayed in Nanhai for a long time and are more familiar with it than us. Is there any wine near our school?"
"Yes, Haoqing Wine is at the east end of Daxue Road, near Nanhai University." Xiangzi replied.
"Do you two know how to get there?" Li Chengzai winked at Zhang Jian.
"I don't know." Zhang Jian understood what Li Chengzai meant.
Wang Jiahe was not clear about their conspiracy: "Didn't Xiangzi make it very clear? Go towards the east end of Daxue Road. You can't go wrong!"
"Xiangzi, lead the way. Let's go." Li Chengzai pulled Xiangzi's arm.
"You guys go, I might have something to do later." Xiangzi refused. He had to stay in the dormitory. If there was a pager from the hospital, he could go find Liu Gen to work.
"What's the big deal? Stay here instead of reading martial arts novels. Let's go! There are more people and it's safer. In a place like Liquor, drunken fights are common. You can't kill Xiangzi here, but we are three white-faced scholars.
You need to be braver." Li Chengzai dragged Xiangzi out of the door.
"Xiangzi, we are spending time with our family and relaxing tonight. You should give me this face," Zhang Jian said.
Xiangzi knew that Wang Jiahe had received a breakup letter from his high school girlfriend, so he thought it was time to go out with him to relax. There might not be any paging calls tonight.
"Okay, I'll call Brother Gen up," Xiangzi said.
"Don't call me Brother Gen. He is studying in self-study. Let him watch in peace!" Zhang Jian pushed Xiangzi from behind.
"Wait a minute, I'll get the pager." Xiangzi turned back, picked up the pager, and followed the three people out the door.
-------------The manager of Haoqing Winery had already received a call from Wen Hanmei and knew that Qiu Ye was going to replace him. After Qiu Ye arrived at the winery, he politely showed her around.
At this time, no one had come to the bar to drink. The waiters and waitresses were doing pre-opening cleaning and preparation work.
The wine manager's surname was Yang, who was in his thirties. He called everyone together and gave a brief introduction to Qiu Ye.
Qiu Ye discovered that none of the waiters here were college students. They were all recruited from the public. Including the bartenders and supervisors, there were nine people in total, four men and five women. One of the women was responsible for recycling and checking the food returned by each waiter.
Drink money.
The restaurant is not very big and is divided into two floors. The layout is relatively elegant. There is a small dance floor and a performance stage. There is a large screen in the middle of the performance stage, which is used to play MTV with a projection. Although there is no band or DJ,
But in the corner of the performance stage, there are musical instruments such as drums, electronic keyboards, saxophones, electric guitars and basses, which are provided for the entertainment of guests who know how to play.
"Aren't there any singers here to sing?" Qiu Ye asked.
"Are you asking about those part-time professional singers? Some people have asked about them, but they are operating at a loss and cannot afford to hire them," the supervisor surnamed Yang replied.
"Aren't there any beer promoters either?"
"The sales volume is relatively low, and the beer manufacturer does not pay for it. It would not be cost-effective for us to prepare one ourselves."
"Are there more students coming on weekends?"
"Not necessarily. There are quite a lot of people when it comes to birthdays or student class gatherings."
Qiu Ye asked about some general information and initially had an idea in his mind.
When Xiangzi and the four of them walked into the wine, it was already dark and soft music was playing in the wine.
"It's good, quiet." Zhang Jian looked around and saw no one.
"Let's sit over there, and you can play guitar and sing for me later." Li Sungjae pointed to the four seats under the performance stage and said.
Qiu Ye and the supervisor surnamed Yang went to the back warehouse to check the stored wine and dried fruits, but did not see Xiangzi and the others coming.
After the four people sat down, a woman came up and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"Jiahe, you are the protagonist tonight, come and order whatever you want to drink." Zhang Jian said to Wang Jiahe.
"Let's make four beers first, and then some cashews, peanuts, and pistachios to go with the beer." Wang Jiahe was not polite, ordering whatever he thought of.
"Another piece of fruit, and Jiahe, you haven't eaten, and it's not good to drink on an empty stomach. Let's have another snack." Zhang Jian added a few more items after Wang Jiahe ordered.
After the girl left, Xiangzi said: "Zhang Jian, come to the stage and sing a song to heat up the atmosphere. Why is this place so lifeless?"
"Jiahe, what song do you want to listen to?" Zhang Jian asked.
"I am the one who loves you most." Wang Jiahe casually said the title of the song, which was also the voice in his heart at this moment.
"Okay!" Zhang Jian stood up, walked to the performance stage, picked up the electric guitar, and sat on a high stool. A waiter with a sound system came up to help him adjust the microphone stand to the best position, and then gestured
Ask the people in the station to turn off the soft music playing.
The woman brought the dried fruits and snacks first.
Zhang Jian adjusted the tune, cleared his throat, and began to pluck the strings. The crisp and beautiful melody of the guitar sounded. When the prelude ended, Zhang Jian began to hum:
My longing for you is lonely day after day, and I still haven’t changed. When will beautiful dreams appear? My dear, I really want to see you again. The autumn wind blows by, and I think of what was going on in your heart at this time last year.
Why did you leave this ending and let me bear it? The person who loves you the most is me. How could you let me be sad? You left without saying a word when I needed you most...
Zhang Jian sang very emotionally, and the audience was very engaged. Wang Jiahe's eyes were filled with tears, as if Zhang Jian was singing about his inner feelings of being dumped by his lover.
The waiters and waitresses in the restaurant, including the bartender, were all attracted by Zhang Jian's melodious singing voice.
Qiu Ye heard someone singing, walked out from behind, looked at the stage, and said in surprise: "It's him!"
Qiu Ye met Zhang Jian in Liu Gen's dormitory, but didn't know his name. At that time, he ran back and said, 'Two security guards are here.'
"Do you know him?" the supervisor surnamed Yang asked.
"I know him. He is from our school." Qiu Ye answered and walked towards Xiangzi and the others.
Zhang Jian saw Qiu Ye on the stage and smiled at her without stopping singing.
Qiu Ye walked to Xiangzi and the others and stood quietly behind him listening to the song, but did not immediately say hello to Xiangzi and the others.
