Falling in Love

At night, in front of the French windows on the second floor of Xiangzhang Restaurant on Binjiang Avenue, two middle-aged men are drinking together. This is a high-end private restaurant. The dishes are very expensive, and the drinks are not cheap.

"Old Gao, it's too expensive." The bald man said politely, sniffing the fine wine in the wine glass.

"Where is it, should be, this restaurant is very good, Wuliangye is real, the cook is also good, I heard that he was hired from Shanghai at a high price." Sitting opposite the bald head is Liu Ziguang's leader, the manager of the property company Old Gao.

The bald man took a sip of the wine and nodded: "Yes, it's true, good wine."

Mr. Gao praised: "Minister Wang is an old gourmet after all. Your level is more than enough to be a national wine taster."

Minister Wang smiled modestly, wiped his mouth with a snow-white napkin, and said, "Old Gao, I have already reported to you what you want to do, just wait patiently."

Mr. Gao chuckled: "That's a lot of trouble for Minister Wang. By the way, there is a security supervisor named Liu in our branch. He has a criminal record before. Today, he was involved in a big case and was arrested. I don't know the head office. How do you deal with such a person?"

"It's like this. In principle, the company firmly rejects people with criminal records, but there are always exceptions. Why, is this person your relative?"

"No, no." Mr. Gao hurriedly dismissed it, and said, "I'm just wondering, this kid may have someone above him, and he was promoted to be a supervisor within a few days after joining the company. Our Captain Bai has not climbed as fast as him after a few years. , By the way, does Minister Wang know this person?"

Minister Wang pondered for a moment, he already understood the meaning of Mr. Gao's words, and said, " Well, I'll check after I get back, and if it's confirmed, no matter who it is, I will resolutely dismiss you and never tolerate it."

"Minister Wang, you helped me solve the problem, let's go together."

The two men clinked glasses and drank them down.

Twenty minutes later, full of wine and food, Mr. Gao proposed not to drive for the time being, but to go to the nearby Jinbihuihuang Bathing Center to relax and hangover, and then go home. Minister Wang readily agreed.

When Mr. Gao and Mr. Wang walked into the splendid hall, Yang Feng from the security brigade of the sub-bureau was soaking in the bathing area. On the edge of the round traditional Chinese medicine bath, there was a mobile phone wrapped in a dry towel, which was beeping non-stop.

"Yang Zi, who's calling, why didn't you answer it?" Li Zhiteng asked while lying in the pool.

"The third daughter-in-law, she made dozens of phone calls. Damn, did her man commit a crime? What's the use of looking for me." Yang Feng looked impatient, and he couldn't see at all how close and good buddies he was with the third child. .

"By the way, what happened to the third child? I heard that he was shot in the head by Secretary Hu's daughter." Thinking of the big bank robbery this afternoon, Li Zhiteng, who also came out of the scene, was very interested.

"Who knows, maybe the old man is short of money and wants to take a wrong path. I heard that he plays a lot of games at the poker table, with winnings and losses of up to 100,000 yuan. In the afternoon, people from the criminal university went to his second wife's house to buy the bottom. I don't know what I can find." Yang Feng shook his head and said, completely ignoring the beeping mobile phone beside him.

"By the way, Yang Zi, how is your relationship with Hu Rong, have you succeeded?" Li Zhiteng asked obscenely.

"Hmph, what do you think?" Yang Feng was noncommittal, with a confident smile on his face.

...

The conference room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was filled with smoke. Director Ma presided over the meeting, and several deputy directors and heads of the criminal investigation department participated. They were all old smokers, smoking one after another, and the room was naturally smoky. , the atmosphere is also a little tense.

"The relationship between Li Quanquan of the Golden Shield Company and the robbers needs to be further confirmed. I think there are many doubts in it. How did they know each other? There is a hundred thousand. It is not worthwhile to do such a thing of losing his head. He has been a policeman. I understand. Given the seriousness of armed robbery, there is simply no incentive to do such a thing."

It was Deputy Director Sun who was talking, he was in charge of the logistics work, and he was in charge of the third industry of the Municipal Bureau. In the evening, Fatty Liang's wife from Jindun Company came to him and gave him a big red envelope, asking him to accommodate and keep the money. Old Liang's seat.

Deputy Director Sun is not entirely out to help Fatty Liang, mainly because of this incident, his face is not good-looking, okay, the mortgage company sent out internal thieves to assist the robbers in robbing the bank, how embarrassing it is to spread the news , Out of this consideration, he really wanted to help Li Youquan get rid of the charges, at least not to mix with the robbers.

Song Jianfeng, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, is in charge of criminal investigation. Hearing Sun Ju's words, he immediately retorted bluntly: "The comrades in the technical investigation have already read the words from his lips. Li has the right to take the initiative to attack the robbers at the scene of the crime and destroy them." Our actions directly caused the life of Comrade Hu Rong to be threatened. This has been confirmed in the confessions of the other hostages, and it was confirmed by the two hostages. After the bandit was killed, he also picked up five consecutive rounds in an attempt to jump over the wall, which is already very self-explanatory."

Just as Deputy Director Sun was about to refute, Song Jianfeng added: " We have searched Li Quanquan's residence and found that besides his wife and children, he also raised a mistress outside and bought a duplex house of 150 square meters. He also likes to gamble, and he plays quite a lot. He owes at least 600,000 in gambling debts, high expenses, and a corrupt life. I think these are the motives for him to go on evil paths. And it is precisely because he has been a policeman and is familiar with our Only when you have the way, you will have the courage and confidence to take risks."

Deputy Director Sun couldn't say anything, so he lowered his head and smoked fiercely. Director Ma gave a dry cough, and glanced at his subordinates, the head of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Old Xu.

Old Xu stood up and said: "As for the other suspect, Liu Ziguang, I think it is very suspicious. This person has a dirty background and has worked as a mercenary abroad. His background is quite complicated. Why did he rush to the police at that time and place Entering the bank, and shooting and killing two robbers, the bullets hit the vital points, obviously they are not prepared to keep alive, which is very doubtful."

Director Ma nodded approvingly, took a sip of tea and added, " Old Comrade Xu's speech is very reasonable."

Song Jianfeng retorted bluntly: "The so-called foreign mercenary is pure nonsense. I can be sure that this person is innocent. There is no need to question this. As for why he rushed into the bank at that time, there is no answer. Well, it's to rescue the little girl who was kidnapped by Li Quanquan."

The veins on Lao Xu's neck were throbbing, and he argued forcefully, "Why did he go to save him? What does it have to do with him?"

Song Jianfeng smiled contemptuously: "It's meaningless to talk about it again. Several standing committee members of the municipal party committee met this evening, and the secretary of the municipal party committee slapped the table. His original words were, 'Is there no good people in Hongdong County in our Jiangbei city? '? A brave hero should be suspected, censored, and even tortured. What's the point?"

Now that Song Jianfeng has brought out the secretary of the municipal party committee, everyone has nothing to say. The matter has already been settled. The heroic intern policewoman and the good citizen who acted bravely worked together to eradicate the three gangsters. It is both legendary and glorious , everyone has honor in face, so why not do it.

Director Ma's face was a bit ugly, but he had no choice but to announce the end of the meeting. The only thing he could do was to seal Li Quan's real identity from the outside world, and only said that he was a temporary employee of a certain company, so as to eliminate the negative impact.

After the meeting, Lao Xu found Song Jianfeng, handed him a cigarette in the corridor, and asked, " Ju Song, I still don't understand why Li Youquan wanted to kidnap Scar's wife and children before robbing the bank. It's a completely different matter. , can't go together at all."

Song Jianfeng said: "I also have this feeling, but some cases are really unclear. Maybe the two things came together by coincidence. Except for the parties involved, no one will understand at all. Now that Li Youquan is dead, I want to know about this matter." The only thing we can do is go to the underworld and ask him."

Old Xumeng took a few puffs of cigarettes, and then asked: "That Liu Ziguang, what is the origin, why is the eight years of experience completely blank, and even the police can't find any clues? "

Song Jianfeng smiled lightly: "There are some secrets that people of our level can't touch, just you understand in your heart." Then he strode away, leaving only the astonished old Xu.

...

In the municipal hospital ward, it was already ten o'clock at night, the reporters left, and parents were persuaded to go back, leaving only Xiaoshuai Bei and a few brothers to accompany them.

This is a VIP ward with only one bed for Liu Ziguang. The brothers opened the window, lit cigarettes and puffed away the smoke. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, so scared that Bei Xiaoshuai hurriedly hid the cigarette butts behind him, and went to open the door to have a look. It turned out that it was not the nurse who made the ward rounds, but Li Jianguo brought his sister-in-law and hairy boy to see Liu Ziguang.

Quickly let him into the ward, Liu Ziguang saw them coming, immediately jumped off the bed and complained: " Sister-in-law, come here so late, it's raining outside, it's not good to get caught in the rain."

Mao Hainiang smiled honestly: "His brother, when I heard that you were injured, I couldn't let it go, so I wondered, what did God think, let good people suffer, come and take a look, and then I let go, God is fair."

Liu Ziguang said with a smile: "Let my sister-in-law worry about it. This is a minor injury and I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days."

Li Jianguo interjected: "Brother, Scar knows about your affairs, let's put aside the meal in advance, and we'll talk about it when you recover."

"Yeah." Liu Ziguang nodded, "I have a lot of things to do when I'm discharged from the hospital."

...

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, in the mansion in Binjiang Jinguan City, the phone suddenly rang. A white and delicate arm stretched out from the quilt, and he turned on the bedside table lamp. He checked the number on the caller ID first, and then picked up the phone. "

Jiang Xueqing, you dead girl, what are you doing calling so late? "Li Wan yawned, and at the same time glanced at his son who was sleeping next to him. Fortunately, the little guy slept soundly and was not woken up.

The back video on the phone was very mixed, it seemed to be a TV station's workshop, a female voice sounded: " Wanwan, I'm in love."

Li Wan smiled, sat up straight, her jet-black hair fell down like a waterfall, scattered on the silk pajamas, she jokingly said: "We Xiaoqing are in love again, what's the date of this month? Which one is it?" The young master was taken by you?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was very low: "Wanwan, this time it's true, not some young master, but a security guard."
