Compared with the bustling traffic situation before, the Yan family is now very sparse, not to mention the guests who come to congratulate them with gifts, not even a feather.
In the deserted living room, the place that was originally filled with various gifts was completely empty. Even Yan Xiong's favorite antique calligraphy and paintings had all been removed, making them appear empty.
Yan Xiong was lying on the rocking chair, which was rocking up and down. There was a record player next to him, and the record player was playing "A Journey to Autumn" by the famous Cantonese opera star Sun Ma Shitsang.
Yan Xiong's loyal subordinate He Jingui stood by, while all the other housekeepers and servants were driven aside.
Yan Xiong beat the time and sang: "The cool breeze has faith, the autumn moon is boundless, and the sadness of thinking about me, Yan Xiong, is like passing the day like a year!"
He Jingui couldn't help but bowed and said: "Master Yan, did you sing the wrong words?"
"That's right! I'm very awake!" Yan Xiong picked up the tea bowl on the table next to him, squinted his eyes and took a sip of tea, then raised his neck and let the tea roll around in his mouth to moisten his throat, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
"In the past few years, those who have rushed to the street have either come to ask for it, or they have called and threatened me to make me spit out what I swallowed!"
"It's okay to have gold and silver treasures, but where's the abalone and ginseng wing belly? I've eaten them all, do you want me to poop them out again? Are you eating shit?! These guys are on the street!"
Of course He Jingui understood what Yan Xiong meant by these words.
At first, everyone thought that Yan Xiong was going to take up the position and become the new detective of Yau Tsim Mong, so they all brought things to curry favor with them. Unexpectedly, the situation changed drastically overnight. Lei Luo not only took the position, but also stepped on Yan Xiong.
Since then, those who gave gifts have refused to agree and have come to ask for things.
Yan Xiong's mouth was broken and he returned all the things that were not yet warm, but how could he return those that had been eaten and used?
"By the way, Agui, where are the eldest aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt, and the fourth aunt? Why are they nowhere to be seen?"
He Jingui's mouth moved, but he stopped talking.
Who is Yan Xiong? He knew the reason as soon as he saw his appearance. He picked up the tea bowl and smashed it to the ground, "These four stinky women who can't stand on the stage! Are you afraid that I will ask them for those silks, satins, gold and silver jewelry?"
?No matter how miserable I, Yan Xiong, am, I will never take advantage of my own woman!"
He Jingui said hurriedly: "The four aunts and wives were also worried that Mr. Yan would be too angry and afraid that you would be angry, so they hid."
"You're hiding well! You keep chirping on weekdays to save my ears!" Yan Xiong said this, but his eyes were about to spit out fire.
Those people who flatter me and add insult to injury are just hiding from me. Even my own woman regards me as a plague. This feeling is really uncomfortable!
Just when Yan Xiong was sulking, the fighting cock outside reported: "Master Yan, there is someone looking for you outside!"
"Who is going to look for me on the street again? I have nothing to sell here, tell him to go back!" Yan Xiong said angrily.
"It's Shi Zhijian."
"Uh, Peter Jian?" Yan Xiong rolled his eyes, "What does he want me to do? Come to see my jokes? Make fun of me?"
"Well, he said he has something important to discuss with you."
"You want to discuss with me? He is the popular person in front of Lei Luo. Everyone knows this! What the hell are you doing if you don't go to Lei Luo but come to me instead? Let him in!" After Yan Xiong finished speaking, he added: "Slow down a little bit.
, let me tidy up my appearance first! Agui, do you think I should take care of my unkempt beard? Comb my hair! I won’t lose the battle!"
…
After a while, Shi Zhijian was invited into the hall.
Yan Xiong changed his clothes and sat upright on the Grand Master's chair in high spirits, putting on the airs of a great detective, biting a big cigar, and squinting at Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian cupped his fists at him: "Hello, Detective Yan!"
Yan Xiong snorted coldly, adjusted his posture, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "Pete Jianmei, why do you want to come to me?"
"Master Yan, just call me Ah Jian. Pit Jian is too naive."
"Business! I have a good memory! Use this name to remind me at any time that I am so embarrassed by this Pit Jian!"
"Master Yan, you are so angry when you say this. We are all adults, why bother?" Shi Zhijian said, while he found a chair to sit down rudely, and turned back to He Jingui and said: "
Is there any tea? Would you like a cup?"
He Jingui said "uh" and glanced at Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong: "Go ahead and watch what I do? Can't I, Yan Xiong, even afford a glass of water? If you drink water, you will be full, if you drink it, you will be full of ruthless water! I am in despair now, so I can only treat Mr. Pitjian to drink a full cup of water.
!”
"Thank you!" Shi Zhijian always smiled.
Soon, the tea was served, and Yan Xiong thought that Shi Zhijian had something to do with him, so he would take the initiative to bring it up.
But Shi Zhijian drank the water slowly, as if he had never drank it in eight lifetimes, sipping and sipping it, and he played with the cups of tea in all kinds of ways.
Yan Xiong couldn't hold back his anger at last, "Okay, Pitjian, I admire you! I admire your Qi refining skills very much. Tell me, what do you want to see me about today?"
Just like picking up a girl, Shi Zhijian thrust his starry eyes deeply into Yan Xiong's eyes for one second, two seconds, three seconds. When Yan Xiong could no longer resist looking away, Shi Zhijian said slowly:
"I want to ask Mr. Yan to help save a person. She was wrongfully accused of theft and was detained at the Wan Chai Police Station. As everyone knows, Wan Chai Detective Feng Ying is your subordinate, Mr. Yan. As long as you say a word, you can do it.
Consider this matter!"
Yan Xiong smiled, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, "May I ask who you are, the one in custody?"
Shi Zhijian said in a deep tone: "Sister, I'm here."
Yan Xiong smiled even brighter, "Oh, it's your sister! Pitjian, I admire you even more. Your sister is suffering in the detention room, but you are still here drinking tea with me slowly. I should say you are well-mannered."
Are you good at martial arts, or are you ruthless?"
Shi Zhijian put down the tea bowl: "If I asked you for something as soon as I opened my mouth, would you agree?"
"No!" Yan Xiong shook his head.
"That's it. So now, are you a little curious?"
Yan Xiong: "Uh----"
He had to admit that he was really a little curious when Shi Zhijian did this.
Shi Zhijian continued: "If I had asked you as soon as I came up, I would have been kicked out by you who was very angry. On the contrary, now that I am slowly drinking tea with you and telling you so much, you will become curious.
, then I have room for maneuver.”
Yan Xiong closed his eyes. This Pit Jian was really nothing. He even planned this!
He opened his eyes suddenly: "Okay, I admit I'm curious! Why did you choose me? Why don't you ask your Inspector Lei for help? He is now Inspector Zonghua, and he can fish your sister out with just a little finger.
!”
Shi Zhijian smiled: "As for the reason, it's very simple - because I want to help you!"
"Uh, did you make a mistake?" Yan Xiong was stunned for a moment, "You came here to ask me for help, but in turn you said you were helping me?"
Even He Jingui, who was standing aside, looked confused, feeling that Shi Zhijian's brain circuit was a bit unexpected.
Shi Zhijian stood up and straightened his tie: "Master Yan, you are a smart man and you should know what the situation is like now. I helped Brother Luo sit in the position of Chief Inspector, but I hated you. You probably want to tear me into pieces."
!”
Yan Xiong rolled his eyes.
He Jingui said in his heart, if you say it lightly, kid, Master Yan has cut you into pieces thousands of times!
"But the reality is that it won't change just because you refuse to admit defeat! You have to admit when you are wrong, and you have to stand firm when you are beaten! Master Yan, you are also an old man. You should understand what I mean even if I don't say these words."
Yan Xionghu's eyes widened: "Are you teaching me how to do something?"
"Wrong! I am reminding Mr. Yan that now is an opportunity! If you help me, it is equivalent to showing goodwill to Brother Luo. In that way, your originally stiff relationship will be eased! Brother Luo is a very realistic person, and Master Yan, you are a talent.
He will not abandon it, as long as Mr. Yan is willing to aggrieve himself, you will still be the detective and the all-powerful Yan Xiong from now on!"
He Jingui stepped forward and said, "Master Yan, what he said seems to make sense!"
Yan Xiong: "Get out of here!"
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly: "I won't say anything else, the opportunity is given to you, Master Yan, you can seize it yourself and say goodbye!"
After saying that, Shi Zhijian turned around and left.
Yan Xiong rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "Pit Jian, oh no, Mr. Shi! What's your sister's name?!"
