Volume Two, Chapter Thirty-Eighth, The Few Easy (Twenty...
The relaxed and pleasant chatting atmosphere did not make the rest of the journey boring. Soon, Xiao Zhu drove off the highway and drove to the Beautiful Home Hotel as he habitually did.
The receptionist at the Meijia Hotel is still the same waitress from before.
She saw the two people coming in one after another, looked at them enthusiastically, and said with a smile:
"I'm staying at the hotel today. Do you have any special requirements?"
Seeing her, Xiao Zhu also smiled, and immediately turned around and asked Lu Sheng, "Master, are we going to have one room or two rooms today?"
Lu Sheng looked at the two people in confusion and said inexplicably, "Of course they are in the same room. Two grown men, not one man and one woman."
Thinking about Lu Sheng's strange behavior last time, the waitress felt that whatever Lu Sheng said was unnecessary.
The waitress still had a smile on her face, "There are no special rooms, no round bed rooms, only standard rooms, are they open?"
Lu Sheng felt very strange. He was asked tentatively for a long time about asking for a room. He said impatiently, "Of course it's the opening room."
Lu Sheng's boredom did not ruin the good mood of the waitress. Society is open, inclusive, and developing. As a waitress working in a hotel, she has already appreciated the diversity of today's society.
Her smile was more due to the strange combination of these two people in front of her, these two straight men who looked very decent.
The older Lu Sheng looks a bit mature, but in fact he is a bit dull and cute. The younger Xiao Zhu has a handsome and determined appearance, but his shy expression from time to time also looks very cute.
"Zhu Ren." The waitress silently recited Xiao Zhu's name and reached out to hand Xiao Zhu his ID card.
After opening the room, Lu Sheng and Xiao Zhu went upstairs and returned to the room. It was a standard room with a window.
Lu Sheng immediately turned on the air conditioner. It was already evening and the sky outside the window was not completely dark yet. It looked like a huge landscape painting. The shape of the clouds was outlined with a single stroke on the horizon.
Xiao Zhu wanted to talk about the case again, "Master, do you really have no idea at all about the direction of the investigation?"
"Let's not talk about this for today. We can't keep our nerves so tense."
"Your first case is a series of complex and strange cases. It's good that you can grow up faster."
"Well, this case we are facing is really a mystery!"
"It is indeed a mystery, but in fact, all strange cases have a positive linear thinking. It's just that this line has been disrupted, like wool, and has been randomly tangled together.
Kneaded into a ball.
Sometimes, even if you find the thread, you can't smooth it out, but it is just a thread after all. As long as you are careful and can endure the suffering, a complete thread will be smoothed out in front of you. The rest will be smoothed out.
That is, Shun Teng Papaya.
The whole process is a bit like solving calculation problems in school."
"Master, you really explain things in a simple way. If you don't become a policeman and become a teacher, you should be a good teacher."
Hearing what Xiao Zhu said, Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
He walked to the window and stood at the window. A huge unfinished building in the distance blocked his view.
The street lights downstairs were on, the number of passing cars gradually decreased, the sound insulation effect of the windows was also good, and the house was exceptionally quiet.
After a while, it was Xiao Zhu who spoke first, breaking the silence, "Master, let's go out to have a meal and take a look around."
Without any discussion, after going downstairs, the two of them walked straight to a nearby noodle shop.
Xiao Zhu and Lu Sheng walked into the noodle shop, and there happened to be the last empty table left.
People eating noodles at the next table were discussing the most interesting hot topics in Meizhou.
One of them said fatly, "You heard, another person drowned in Meijiang two days ago."
Another man at the same table had a distinctive appearance and a sharp mouth. He blinked and responded calmly, "I know, he's a policeman."
Seeing that his message didn't interest the other party, the fat man continued, "Well, he's a policeman, my wife's nephew's brother-in-law. He cooks for the police station. Listen to what he said..."
The fat man deliberately lowered his voice, but it was obviously unnecessary. "It is said that the person who died was the criminal investigation team leader. He drove drunk and had an accident after he was done."
Little Jianzui didn't know this news. After hearing what Fatty said, he obviously felt that he had left out some important information. He paused, pretended to be indifferent, and said:
"The news has changed hands so many times. It's true."
"That's still false. Could it be that someone pushed him down?"
"I didn't say that. What I said was that the person who died was the detective captain?"
The fat man nodded firmly, "Yes, that's what I said."
Listening to the chat at the next table, Xiao Zhu and Lu Sheng looked at each other. They were no longer interested in the food in front of them. They only took a bite occasionally and did not dare to make too much noise.
"It would be a shame if that were the case."
The fat man looked confused and waited for the little sharp mouth to continue.
"I heard that the captain of our Meizhou Criminal Police Team is a ruthless character. Many cases were solved by him, and..." Xiao Jianzui deliberately didn't finish his words, so he called to the noodle shop owner, "Check out."
The noodle shop owner walked over with a smile and said, "Thirty yuan in total."
The two of them scrambled to pay the bill, but in the end it was the fat man who handed over the money first.
The little Jianzui said embarrassedly, "Next time, next time you will definitely let me get married." The fat man also said polite words quickly.
The two of them walked out the door together, and Xiao Jianzui continued, "People on the street call him Smiling Tiger. His sister is also from the police station. One person can do it..."
"boom…"
The door of the noodle shop closed, and with the sound of closing the door, the two people also left the noodle shop.
Lu Sheng suddenly remembered something and asked Xiao Zhu, "When I checked the information last time, did Lin Xi's sister Lin Xi work in the archives?"
"It seems to be true." After hearing Lu Sheng's words, Xiao Zhu immediately reacted.
Xiao Zhu looked at Lu Sheng excitedly, and in Lu Sheng's eyes, Xiao Zhu found that excited light again.
"Look, sometimes you really can't get too hung up on clues. Isn't this direction of investigation now available?" Lu Sheng began to eat the noodles in big gulps. After just a few bites, he finished the noodles.
After the two of them finished eating the noodles, they strolled between the hotel and the noodle shop. The night sky, reflected by countless neon signs on the ground, was not black, but rather a little reddish.
In the city, there is a mixture of light and dark, but it is all artificial light. Some people use light to illuminate the dark night and overcome the fear of the unknown;
Some people use light to search late at night and explore the unknown in the dark;
There are also people who hide behind the light, use the light to block them, and transform themselves into the hidden unknown.
"Look at the brightly lit lights in this city at night, it seems like night and day are confused."
"But night is still night after all. Lights cannot illuminate every corner. How can it be like daytime when the sun shines on the earth."
"Really? Where there is the sun, there is no darkness?"
"But at the very least, where there is the sun and light, it will not be completely dark."
