Jiang Xinyu glanced at the clock on the wall. It happened to be nine o'clock in the evening. Every time at this time, if Hattori Mina hadn't come home yet, Hattori Hikoo would call to inquire.
"Mina, go answer the phone, it must be Major." Jiang Xinyu picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Hattori Mina was already a little drunk, so she walked over and picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"Mina, look what time it is, why aren't you back yet?" Sure enough, it was Hattori Hikoo on the other end of the phone.
"It's going to be a little late for dinner."
"It's snowing outside. When Jiang Xinyu takes you back, ask him to drive slower."
"Is it snowing? Then I won't leave. Tomorrow I will go build a snowman with Xin Yu!"
"...Mina, have you been drinking?" Hattori Hikoo knew his sister very well and could tell her current state from her tone of voice.
Hattori Mina touched her hot cheek and muttered: "I just drank a little, it'll be fine..."
Jiang Xinyu came over and took the phone: "Major, don't worry, I will take good care of Mei Na."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said: "How about this? It's freezing outside, so you don't have to go back and forth and let Mina stay at your place for one night... There won't be only one bedroom in the house, right?"
This proposal is exactly what Jiang Xinyu wants. After putting it off for so long, he had no intention of letting Hattori Mina go back. She is an indispensable "witness" in tonight's plan!
"Would it be bad if Mei Ne lives here with me..." Jiang Xinyu said with difficulty.
"You are an unmarried couple, there is no need to think too much!"
"knew."
Putting down the phone, Jiang Xinyu returned to the dining table and said, "Mina, it doesn't matter if you drink a little more today. Major said you can stay with me for one night."
Hattori Mina fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist and whispered: "I heard it all..."
After dinner, Jiang Xinyu made a cup of tea and said, "Drink some tea while it's hot to get rid of the hangover."
Hattori Mina picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said, "What kind of tea is so bitter?"
"Kuding tea, you should take your time to savor it after drinking this tea, and you will have the feeling that after all the hardships, the joys come!"
"Is it so magical..."
Half an hour later, Hattori Mina fell asleep on the sofa, and Jiang Xinyu put sleeping pills in the tea...
Zhongshan Street, inside Shunfa Hotel.
There were several side dishes and a pot of Laobaigan wine on the table. Li Bing poured it for himself. The alcohol relaxed his nerves and made him less nervous than during the day.
Daping leaned on the bed, put the pistol aside, and said: "Li Bing, when will you finish drinking? It's almost midnight!"
Li Bing picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said: "You don't know how to enjoy it when you look at it. You have to drink slowly and drink slowly. If you just pick up the wine bowl and drink it, that is Zhang Fei! In the end, you will not let your own people get killed!"
Another agent said: "The co-author Zhang Fei was killed because he drank too fast?"
Li Bing picked up a peanut with his chopsticks, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and said: "No, if you drink quickly, you will get drunk quickly. If he drinks slowly, what are those two called?
…”
Daping: "Zhang Da, Fan Qiang!"
Li Bing: "Yes, Zhang Da, Fan Qiang...think about it, if Zhang Fei drinks all night, those two guys will never have the chance to attack!"
Daping: "Hearing what you said, are you going to drink this jug of wine until dawn?"
"Let you two drink together, you won't give me any face..." Li Bing picked up the wine glass and took another sip.
Daping said coldly: "Don't think that if Team Leader Ma allows you to drink, it's just him!"
"You can sleep in your own place, and I'll just promise not to delay anything tomorrow."
What Daping wanted to say, another agent came over and said in a low voice: "Daping, forget it, Team Leader Ma also told him to let him drink a bottle of wine at most. Such an amount of wine will not delay things."
Daping said angrily: "I'm not afraid that he will delay things. This kid just chews his mouth while eating. Can you sleep?"
"But yes, I have never seen anyone drink so slowly..."
"Tuk-tuk! Tuk-tuk!" There was a knock on the door.
Daping immediately grabbed the pistol and looked out through the door mirror. Another agent also raised the pistol and asked nervously: "Who is it?"
"It's okay, the captain is here." Daping put down his gun and reached out to open the door.
Jiang Xinyu stepped in, looked at the situation in the room, and said, "I was passing by and came up to take a look."
Li Bing also quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Captain Jiang, you have worked hard."
Another agent showed his courtesy and said: "Captain, don't worry, Daping and I are here, nothing will happen. It's snowing so heavily, you'd better go back and rest early."
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said, "Pour me a cup of hot water and let's go after it's warm."
The agent turned around to get the thermos bottle. Daping moved a chair and said: "Captain, sit down."
Although they were a little confused about Jiang Xinyu coming in the middle of the night, none of them dared to think elsewhere.
"Ring ring ring ring!" The phone on the table suddenly rang.
Daping said to himself: "It's so late, who called..."
"boom!"
"boom!"
Without any warning, accompanied by mute gunfire, Daping and another agent both fell to the ground. They never dreamed that Jiang Xinyu would shoot one of their own!
Li Bing's reaction was not slow, he grabbed the wine bottle on the table and threw it over. Before he could say "help", Jiang Xinyu had already pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit his chest accurately.
——After monitoring the conversation in the interrogation room, Jiang Xinyu made a decision in the shortest possible time. Li Bing must be eliminated, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
He also had the upper hand in tonight's action plan. The two detective team agents, even Li Bing, were trained police officers. If they were not unsuspecting, they would not have succeeded so easily!
…………
At Jiang Xinyu's house, Hattori Mina is still sleeping soundly.
As a medical student, Jiang Xinyu mastered the dosage of sleeping pills very accurately, which could not only ensure that Hattori Mina would not wake up on her own in a short period of time, but also wake her up after the effect of the medicine wore off.
"Mina, Mina..."
Hattori Mina opened her eyes drowsily and said, "Why did I fall asleep?"
"It means you still can't drink enough." Jiang Xinyu handed her a glass of water.
Hattori Mina took the water glass and took a sip, muttering: "I have drunk this kind of wine with Ayako at home before, and I never got drunk so quickly."
"Did you drink too much?"
"It seems a little urgent...what time is it now?"
"A quarter past eleven."
"So late? I usually go to bed long ago."
"Go to sleep, get up early tomorrow, and I'll build a snowman with you!"
"I...where can I sleep..." Hattori Mina suddenly became shy.
Jiang Xinyu walked to the door of another bedroom, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and said, "You sleep in this room, the bed has been made for you."
Hattori Mina secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt very strange now, including joy, worry, disappointment, and faint expectation...
