However, facing Wang Erzhu's questioning, Li Qiang waved his hand very cautiously and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhuzhu, this is not the place to talk. Why don't you treat me to a bowl of Lao Zhengxing's braised pork at noon?
Talk while eating?"
"You kid! You're not trying to cheat me out of a meal again, are you?"
"How can you? Brother Zhuzhu, I don't believe the way you look at me, how sincere you are!"
"Come on!" Wang Erzhu had obviously been fooled many times and would not accept Li Qiang's tricks at all. However, after thinking about it, he nodded again, "I don't know what you are planning, but it's just a bowl of braised pork."
I can still afford it!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang immediately said with a smile on his face: "Then it's settled! I'll go patrolling the streets first, and we'll meet you at noon!"
After saying that, Li Qiang stepped into the police station, neatly changed into his police uniform and went to patrol the streets.
A morning is neither short nor long, and in a blink of an eye, it's lunch time.
Li Qiang came to Lao Zhengxing as scheduled. As soon as he entered the door, the waiter immediately came up to him and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Boss, what can I do for you?"
However, Li Qiang first glanced around the customers in the store and did not see Wang Erzhu. He must have been delayed by something, and then he said to the waiter: "Find me a quieter table."
.”
"No problem! Boss, please come with me." With that, the waiter took Li Qiang to a table by the window. "Boss, what do you think of this table?"
"Let's make it work!" After sitting down, Li Qiang continued, "First a plate of roasted pork belly, a bowl of braised pork, two large bowls of rice, and four ounces of rice wine!"
"Okay! Boss, wait a moment, the food and drinks will be here soon!"
Not long after Li Qiang finished ordering, Wang Erzhu belatedly appeared at the door of the restaurant.
"Brother Zhuzi! Here!" The sharp-eyed Li Qiang naturally saw him at a glance, then stood up and waved to him.
However, as soon as he sat down, Li Qiang felt something strange about Wang Erzhu, so he quickly asked with concern: "What's wrong, Brother Zhuzhu? Is something going to happen again?"
"Hey! You really said that! Just now, when I was about to come over, the director called me over and scolded me!"
"This...why?"
"What else could it be because of? Isn't it because of Ji..." Wang Erzhu's voice suddenly stopped as soon as he finished speaking, and then he looked around cautiously, and then lowered his voice after confirming that no one else was paying attention.
He continued, "Isn't it because of Boss Ji's case?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang's nerves immediately became tense, but on the surface he pretended to be surprised and asked: "Isn't it right? Boss Ji was stabbed in front of his own house. Even if he wanted to investigate,
Shouldn't the French Concession Police Station or the people from No. 76 investigate? It won't be our turn anyway? Why is the director scolding you?"
"Who says it's not the case! But the director didn't know where he got the news, saying that the murderer of Boss Ji did not leave Shanghai, but found a place to hide, and his hiding place is in our jurisdiction!
"
"He hasn't left yet? If he didn't run away after making such a big noise, is he going to stay for the New Year? Unless his brain is broken, a normal person wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing, right?"
Wang Erzhu couldn't help but snorted, "That's what I said too. Not only did I get scolded by the director, but he also gave me a deadline of one week to complete the investigation of all suspicious persons in the jurisdiction. Do you think I have nothing to find?"
Do you deserve it?"
Having said this, Wang Erzhu couldn't help but sigh again. At this moment, the waiter's voice rang out, "The food is here! You two bosses, your food and drinks are ready. If you have any orders, call me anytime!"
"Go down!" Li Qiang first raised his hand and waved away the waiter, then poured Wang Erzhu a glass of wine, and then persuaded him, "Brother Zhuzhu, isn't it just to check for suspicious persons? I think you will be troubled.
Just leave such a small matter to me!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Erzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother, do you have a way to handle this kind of thing?"
"I said, Brother Zhuzhu, is this the first day you have met me? Is it true that I am called you by my name in vain? I must handle the matter clearly for you! Leave this matter to me and you can take care of it.
Bar!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Brother! What you said made me feel hot in my heart. Come on, do it!"
"Dry!"
With the support of Li Qiang's words just now, and after a glass of wine, Wang Erzhu's face finally cleared of all the gloom, and he started talking, "Brother! It seems that the two of us have known each other for a long time.
Alright?"
"It's been almost five or six years since the first day I joined Mantetsu! Brother Zhuzhu, why did you suddenly mention this?"
Wang Erzhu waved his hands repeatedly, "It's strange to say that I, lately, have always heard the news. When we two brothers first met, we were like our enemies from the previous life. We would fight each other whenever we met. It was simply incompatible!
But who would have thought that a few years later, the two of us would still be sitting together drinking?"
"Hey! Isn't it true that my brother was too young and energetic back then?" Li Qiang said as he filled Wang Erzhu's glass of wine again.
Unexpectedly, Wang Erzhu snorted angrily, "You talk as if you are so mature now! To be honest, I really didn't think you could stay under me at first, but I didn't expect that not only would you soon become like me,
Several of my subordinates became one with each other, and after making meritorious deeds, they were willing to share the credit with other brothers. At that time, I said to myself, you can handle this!"
Having said this, Wang Erzhu picked up the wine glass again and drank it down. Then he changed the subject, "There's just one thing I haven't figured out until now. When we were just transferred here, why did you
Are you going to contradict the director in front of so many people and end up getting fired on the first day he takes office?"
Hearing this, Li Qiang chuckled, "Why else? Who told me that your brother is still alone, without a wife and children to take care of?"
"Hmph! You finally couldn't help but say it, right? I knew you couldn't hold two taels of sesame oil in your stomach. Do you think I couldn't tell if you didn't tell me? Brother, then you are looking down on your brother too much.
I'm done!" After saying that, Wang Erzhu didn't wait for Li Qiang to pour him wine. He grabbed the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine himself. He continued, "This glass is for your sister-in-law and A Ping! Thank you!
