After coming out of the An County Public Security Bureau, Xiao Zheng did not go back to town immediately, but came to a "Songmao Silk Soup Dumpling Shop".
This soup dumpling shop is quite famous in An County. The soup dumplings are small in size, and a man with a big mouth can stuff two or three into one mouthful. The soup dumplings are served in bamboo cages with a thick layer of pine inside.
Mao. These "pine hairs" are actually washed and dried pine needles. After being stimulated by steam, the aroma of pine needles penetrates into the soup dumplings and blends with the meaty flavor in the dough to create a special aroma.
This kind of "pine wool silk soup dumplings" is very popular among Anxian people. If it is morning tea time, everyone would have to queue up in a long line to eat it. It is now afternoon, and the crowds are relatively better. A pot of coarse tea, a few soup dumplings
, enough to make people spend an afternoon with satisfaction.
When Xiao Zheng walked into this old soup dumpling shop, Zhao Yougen, Jian Xiushui and Fei Nuanli were already there. They had already ordered a pot of tea and two drawers of soup dumplings, which cost only a dozen yuan in total.
Zhao Yougen said, is there a little less barking today? Jian Xiu Shuidao, last time at the resort, there was nothing you could do. You had to spend a lot or you would be suspected, but today at this soup dumpling shop, you don’t have to be so particular. Yes.
If you save, save.
After all, Jian Xiushui has been a boss lady, and thrift is an instinct in her character. In fact, Zhao Yougen wanted to eat a few more soup dumplings here today, and he was greedy for this one. He usually works at the town police station and came to the county town.
There are not many opportunities, and it is not easy to eat this soup dumpling. But since Jian Xiushui said so, he is embarrassed to spend more money on Xiao Zheng to satisfy his appetite, and he will eat less if he eats less.
several.
In the corner, the shop was filled with the sounds of tea drinking and chatting. After Xiao Zheng sat down, he thought, the people in the county are really ugly when it comes to eating, and they are really bragging. However, this
For Xiao Zheng and the others, there are pros and cons. They need these diners to cover their voices.
Zhao Yougen asked: "Commissioner Xiao, how are you? Director Xu of the Public Security Bureau agrees to help us?" Xiao Zheng shook his head and said: "He is not willing to help us." When Xiao Zheng walked out of the Public Security Bureau,
He was actually in a bad mood. But by now he had adjusted, so he just talked about the matter without any emotional fluctuations.
Zhao Yougen asked: "Are you not willing to help us at all?" Xiao Zheng said: "Yes. This is probably the case for all officials. The first thing they think of is themselves. If they need to take some risks that will affect their hat, they will not
I'm willing to do it." Zhao Yougen took a sip of tea helplessly: "I originally thought Director Xu would be different, but now it seems that he is no different from other officials."
Fei Nuanli picked up the teapot and poured it for Xiao Zheng and Zhao Yougen. Jian Xiushui poured another round of tea and said, "They are not willing to help, so we have to rely on ourselves." Jian Xiushui also said, "Yes, Commissioner Xiao, Nuanli
You're right, no one is willing to help, so we have to rely on ourselves."
Xiao Zheng glanced at Jian Xiushui and Fei Nuanli, but the eyes of these two women were full of determination. This kind of trust in Xiao Zheng could not be lived up to. Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea and put the tea cup on some potholes.
On the wooden table, he said: "Okay, we don't rely on anyone else, we just rely on ourselves!"
Zhao Yougen is still a little worried: "How can we rely on ourselves? Without the help of the public security, we have no tools and no resources to conduct technical investigations."
Xiao Zheng said: "Without technological support, we will use the most traditional methods." Xiao Zheng lowered his head slightly and explained to Zhao Yougen, Jian Xiushui and Fei Nuanli. These ideas were all made by Xiao Zheng on the way here.
Already thought about it.
After Xiao Zheng said something to them, Zhao Yougen, Jian Xiushui and Fei Nuanli nodded. Xiao Zheng said: "The fortress is easiest to break from the inside. We have no choice but to use this method now." Zhao Yougen said:
"Use different methods for different people, Commissioner Xiao. When there is no way and no one can help, we can only do this."
Xiao Zheng looked at the table, and then shouted to the proprietress: "Give us three more drawers of soup dumplings!" The kitchen proprietress immediately responded: "Okay, come right away."
Zhao Yougen, who had the best pine wool silk soup dumplings, showed a satisfied smile on his face: "It seems that you can eat enough today." Xiao Zheng said: "Go ahead and eat. If it's not enough, let's call again." Zhao Yougen,
Jian Xiushui and Fei Nuanli both looked at each other and smiled. Fei Nuanli said, "Then let's get started."
Unexpectedly, the two women, Jian Xiushui and Fei Nuanli, also ate very enthusiastically. They were chewing a pine wool silk soup dumpling in their mouths, their left cheeks were slightly bulging, and they looked very straightforward and quite cute.
Xiao Zheng suddenly thought of Chen Hong. When he was with Chen Hong, he had never been so relaxed and casual as when he was with these people in front of him.
It's nine o'clock in the evening.
Song Guoming was out socializing again, while Gao Xuemei stayed alone at home. Although Gao Xuemei was already in her forties, because Song Guoming was often out, she didn't cook herself at night, and often had a meal with her parents.
, then went home to watch TV and fell asleep without even realizing it.
Gao Xuemei's parents live in the community across the street, which is very convenient. Today, Gao Xuemei's younger brother Gao Xuefeng is also at her parents' place. As they were eating, her brother asked: "Sister, my brother-in-law is always busy all day long."
Are you relieved to go home?" Gao Xuemei didn't care: "What are you worried about? Isn't your brother-in-law always like this? He needs it for work."
Gao Xuefeng shook his head and said: "Sister, you have to be careful. Work needs are just an excuse for men. Let's talk about my former neighbor upstairs. He used to be the secretary of the township party committee, and was later transferred to
When I was the deputy director of the city, I kept saying that I was busy with work and had no home. Later, I was found out that I had a mistress outside."
Gao Xuemei still spoke for her husband: "The situation is different from town to town. Your brother-in-law's town is very busy." Gao Xuemei's parents also helped their son-in-law to speak: "Yes, Xuefeng, your brother-in-law has always been like this, there is nothing to worry about."
.”
Gao Xuefeng said indifferently: "I wasn't worried before, but it's different now."
Gao Xuemei glanced at her brother strangely: "What's different now?" Gao Xuefeng said: "Before, I wasn't worried at all, because sister, you are young and beautiful, and no one would say anything if you said you were a flower in our county. But it's different now.
Now, as you age, your beauty is reduced. But outside, with my brother-in-law’s status, he can see young and beautiful women all day long. He is better than his predecessor. Sister, you should listen to this sentence.
Did you tell me?"
Gao Xuemei glared at her younger brother and said displeasedly: "Your brother-in-law is not like that." But Gao Xuefeng insisted: "Sister, don't think too self-consciously about animals like men. Men often walk by the river.
How can I not get wet shoes? I am a man, and I don’t know yet? Therefore, men still have to take care of themselves. Sister, you can’t take it lightly. Otherwise, one day the mistress will be in charge, and your position as the empress of the palace will be gone, and it will be too late to regret.
.”
"Hey, how do you talk, kid!" Gao Xuemei's father scolded his son, "You are not allowed to say that about your brother-in-law!" Gao Xuefeng defended: "I didn't mean to say anything about my brother-in-law, I was talking about human nature. This
World, good medicine is really bitter and good for the disease, but people just don’t like good medicine! If you don’t want to listen to the truth, just pretend that I didn’t say it.”
The evening meal made Gao Xuemei very uncomfortable and even had indigestion because of her brother's words. She felt that her brother wanted Song Guoming to help him some time ago, but Song Guoming failed to do so, so she felt bad for his brother-in-law.
I was angry and said these words on purpose to make her angry.
This brother is really heartless. Ignore him!
However, at this moment, Gao Xuemei returned home alone. Sitting on the sofa, Gao Xuemei couldn't help but think of her brother's words. She was hesitant in her heart. Could there be some truth in what her brother said?
At this time, a text message suddenly came in. Gao Xuemei picked up the phone. Could it be that Gao Xuefeng sent a text message to apologize?
But when I picked it up, I saw it was an unfamiliar number with a sentence that said, "Song Guoming is currently in Suite 808 of the Regent Hotel, having sex with a woman. Do you want to go check it out?"
Gao Xuemei felt her heart twitching. Why did she come just because she was worried? Gao Xuemei stared at the text message for a long time. This number was definitely unfamiliar.
Could it be that the younger brother deliberately got an unfamiliar number to scare himself? This younger brother went too far.
Gao Xuemei immediately called her brother's mobile phone. After the call was made, she asked: "Gao Xuefeng, are you going too far by doing this?" Gao Xuefeng was at a loss on the other end: "Sister, what are you talking about?" Gao Xuemei said.
: "Stop pretending to be with me. At night, you said those bad things about your brother-in-law. Isn't that enough? Now you're sending text messages from an unknown number to scare me?"
Gao Xuefeng said: "Sister, you are wrongly blaming me! I didn't send a text message, and I only have this mobile phone number. I can swear that if I do what you said, I will be hit by a car when I go out."
Gao Xuemei knew that her brother cherished his life, and if he had really done it, he would never have sworn such a poisonous oath.
So who sent this text message? Gao Xuemei was really worried at this time. She tried her best to calm down and said: "Xuefeng, are you free now? Can you come and pick me up?"
"Okay, I have nothing to do tonight anyway. I'll come over now." Gao Xuefeng readily agreed. He has a private car and has nothing to do.
Gao Xuefeng picked up Gao Xuemei and asked: "Sister, where are we going now?" Gao Xuemei said: "Regent Hotel."
The Regent Hotel is also a high-end hotel in An County. It used to be a place for government entertainment. Gao Xuemei and Gao Xuefeng also went there. Later, the National Hotel in An County opened, and the business of the Regent Hotel was also affected to some extent, but it still has
It's a pretty high-end product that ordinary people can't afford.
Gao Xuefeng turned left and right in the county town and arrived at the Regent Hotel in less than a quarter of an hour. Gao Xuefeng was a little confused: "What are we doing here?"
Gao Xuemei said: "Your brother-in-law is here and asked us to come." Gao Xuemei did not tell the truth to Gao Xuefeng.
Gao Xuefeng was a little doubtful and said: "Sister, you just said on the phone that there was some strange text message to scare you or something. What happened?"
Gao Xuemei said: "It's nothing. I made a mistake. It's okay now. Let's go up."
After entering the elevator, Gao Xuefeng asked: "Which floor is it?"
Gao Xuemei: "8th floor, 808."
In the corner of the Regent Hotel lobby, Fei Nuanli sent a text message to Zhao Yougen in the car outside: "They have already gone up."
Zhao Yougen told the news to Jian Xiushui next to him. Jian Xiushui: "Gao Xuemei saw Song Guoming and her cousin in the same room. I wonder what she would think?"
