At the end of January, the weather in Lingang showed signs of warming. Meteorologists have repeatedly said on television that an early spring is expected, which is likely to cause a drought in the second half of the year, which will reduce agricultural production.

However, except for the farmers who are complaining, most ordinary people are still willing to take off their thick cotton clothes, put on light jackets, and open their hands to welcome the beautiful weather.

Outside Lushui Villa in Mingtai City, two young men paced slowly along the sidewalk.

Li Qing raised his eyes and looked at the blue sea in the distance, pointed to a barbecue stall on the beach, and said to Mo Li beside him: "Go and sit over there." ”

"Hmm. Mo Li nodded, and the two of them walked in that direction together.

Li Qing is not short at all, but when he walks with Mo Li, who is unusually tall, he looks thin, like an adult leading a child shopping. But as everyone knows, among the two people, Mo Li is the ignorant child.

Li Qing changed into light casual clothes today, sneakers, jeans and a black jacket, a baseball cap on his head, and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Mo Li is still the same, with a black top hat and a thick brown and black windbreaker to cover his body, and the whole person looks mysterious and gloomy, which is daunting. Even in the middle of summer, this man didn't see how much less he was dressed than he was now, and he didn't sweat a lot, and he didn't seem to feel hot at all.

Mo Li didn't look like this before, he would also wear more in winter and reduce his clothes in midsummer. But the broken leg accident in Longxi completely changed his life. From then on, he seemed to have become an abandoned child, seeking every way to hide himself and find the missing sense of security.

Deng Shi once said to Li Qing that Mo Li's temperament was not suitable for survival in a normal society, and the only place suitable for him was the battlefield. Li Qing also knew this truth, but he couldn't make a decision and couldn't bear to let him go.

The horse was released from Nanshan and returned to the field, this is Li Qing's wish. He tried to make Mo Li fit into the shape of modern social life, but so far, none of this has been successful.

When passing by the newsstand on the street, Li Qing reached out and took out the change in his pocket: "Take a copy of this morning's Lingang Morning Post." ”

"Thank you. After paying, Li Qing took the newspaper.

Unfolding the newspaper, Li Qing's eyes swept over it, and said to Mo Li casually: "It's been so many days, and the explosion case of Lushui Villa is still fermenting. Tsk, it seems that Lingang has been in short supply of big news recently. ”

"Hmm. Mo Li tilted his head to look at the beach, and replied nonchalantly.

Li Qing glanced at him obliquely: "Will you say anything else?"

"Oh. Mo Li nodded stiffly again.

Li Qing sighed silently, and had to give up. Mo fool is really worthy of his name, if you don't let him hold a gun, you really can't say anything interesting.

The two of them walked to the barbecue stall on the beach and sat down, Li Qing ordered a few barbecues, and then opened the newspaper again and read it intently.

Recently, the media have been criticizing the Mingtai police for not being able to solve the Lushui explosion case, which is not surprising. Recently, there have been frequent incidents in Lingang, the crime rate has been rising, and ordinary people have become more and more insecure, complaining about the chaos of law and order and the soaring prices. If this is the case among the people, the media will naturally act as the tongue of the people and express their dissatisfaction.

However, speaking from the heart, Zhao Zhen does not leak anything, even if Wei is a veteran of the police circle, Li Qing does not think that the Mingtai police can give a satisfactory answer to the turbulent public opinion.

The current Mingtai police still have one last hole card, that is, Qian Liming was blackmailed, and the matter of privately releasing batches of arms into the customs in the Golden Horn is still in the blockade, if they can use this batch of arms as bait, put a long line to catch big fish, and finally hit all the nets, there should be a possibility of turning the tables. Li Qing can imagine it, he believes that Wei Guanglin, and even Qiu Liansheng, the police chief of Mingtai City, must also think about it, I am afraid that these veterans of handling cases are sitting in the office, and they can't wait for this batch of arms deals.

It's a pity that Wei Guanglin is destined to be disappointed, even if he can really grasp the current situation of the arms deal, he will only be disappointed to find that there is no Li Qing's slightest involvement.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but reach out and rub his temples. Wei Guanglin seems to have always been prejudiced against himself, and even stubbornly believes that this batch of arms from unknown sources and the bombing case that occurred in Lushui Villa are all directed and acted by himself, should I think of some way to remind him?

"Okay. At this time, the boss had already brought the barbecue to the table, "Please taste it slowly." ”

"Four more beers. Li Qing came back to his senses and added with a smile.

"Good, good. ”

The boss nodded repeatedly, opened four bottles of beer and brought them to the table. When he turned around and was about to leave, he heard Li Qing's inquiry: "Boss, how is the business in the past two days?"

was asked by Li Qing, the corner of the barbecue stall owner's mouth twitched fiercely, and he seemed to be a little miserable: "Don't mention it, this business has been going on recently..."

The boss sighed silently and shook his head again and again: "It's hard to do." ”

Li Qing looked around and nodded slightly: "It seems that the flow of people is indeed a little less than in the past, I thought it was because of Monday." ”

Lushui Villa is facing the dilemma of losing guests, and Li Qing estimates that under the current panic situation, Gangbei Bay should also be affected. It's just that when he called Lin Qiuqiu these few times, the latter never mentioned it, I'm afraid he didn't want to worry about it.

"There's a little bit of a lack of people, not many people have been here since the bombing. The barbecue stall owner tugged at the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand and gestured in the air, "From last week's bombing to now, the traffic of my stall has decreased by seventy percent, and business is too difficult to do." ”

The boss opened the chatterbox and poured bitter water at Li Qing vigorously: "The rent of the stalls in this realm is very high, I originally expected to rely on the Lushui Villa in front of me and the big tree to enjoy the shade, but I didn't expect this thing to happen, and now I am losing money every day, and I can't even get the rent." Hey, people are not as good as heaven. ”

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly: "When the case is solved, the lost customers will come back." ”

"It's hard to detect. The owner of the barbecue stall still shook his head again and again, "I'm completely disappointed in the Mingtai police now, that Director Qiu just takes a salary and doesn't do anything." ”

Li Qing comforted with kind words: "Don't worry, even if the Mingtai police can't do it, just with the bad impact of this case, the Lingang Supervision Department is indispensable to intervene." I think that if Director Qiu can't give an explanation to the people, this case will be forcibly handed over to the Inspectorate for execution. ”

"The Inspectorate is not good, what can a so-so deputy director do? They haven't even solved the case of Director Zhou's assassination, how can they solve the explosion case of Lushui Villa now." The owner of the barbecue stall couldn't help but sigh, "The current Lingang Inspector's Office is not the time when Director Zhong is in charge, it's far away, it's far away." ”

The owner of the barbecue stall sighed and left, Li Qing couldn't help but fall into a short silence, the danger of Lingang had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the weakness of the inspector's office had once again exacerbated this panic. Whether or not it can calm people's minds and reshape social order is undoubtedly the top priority facing the chief executive.

"Almost. Li Qing secretly thought in his heart, the position of the head of the inspectorate has been vacant for so long, and someone should fill the vacancy. It's just that it's not clear who the new inspector will be replaced. Xie Hongbo is certainly very prestigious within the Inspectorate Department, but his performance after he became deputy director is mediocre, and it is obviously difficult to pick the lead.

Ten **, the newly appointed director of the Inspectorate is going to be from Yanjing again.

Li Qing picked up a bottle of beer and touched it with Mo Li: "How do I feel that when you come back this time, you talk less than before? Could it be that you have become a prisoner and have a psychological shadow?"

Mo Li grinned and smiled innocently: "Big brother, I don't know what to say, just listen to you." ”

Li Qing glared: "Why don't you tell you Allegro here?"

Mo Li scratched his head and smiled again: "Hehe." ”

"Don't just giggle and giggle. Li Qing took a sip of beer and glanced at Mo Li lightly, "Didn't you get any valuable clues in Zhao Zhen's kid's territory?"

"Valuable clues," Mo Li frowned slightly, and after a long moment before he spoke, "I heard a very strange foreign name. ”

Li Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Foreign names are generally quite strange, which one did you hear?"

"Demeter. ”

"Demo what?"

Mo Li had no choice but to repeat: "Demeter." ”

"It's weird. Li Qing rubbed his chin slightly, "How did you remember it so clearly this time?"

Mo Li drank half a bottle of beer and raised his hand to wipe his mouth: "At that time, I was tied up by them and locked up in a small room. The kid walked in on the phone one day, and I heard him say the last thing, "Demeter is never ungrateful." ”

Li Qing stared at Mo Li without blinking: "The person you are referring to is Zhao Zhen, the one with freckles on his face?"

"Yes. Mo Li nodded, "It's their little boss, the one with freckles on his face." ”

Taking a deep breath, Li Qing's brows furrowed tightly: "Demeter will never be ungrateful? What is this? Could it be the name of their organization?"

Mo Li shook his head stupidly: "I don't know. ”

"It looks like a foreign organization, but I haven't seen a foreigner yet, so it's strange. Li Qing shook his head, and then said, "That's it, I'll call Lisa'er another day and ask her to help me check." ”

When the words fell, Li Qing raised the beer in his hand and changed to another relatively relaxed topic.
