Ye Wen replied in a low voice: "In this way, it's hard to say on the phone, wait for me to choose a location, you will come out alone, and we will talk when we meet...... How?"

More than a dozen thoughts swirled in Zhang Ruiming's head, and in the end, he still did not suppress his enthusiasm for law and justice, and he replied briefly: "Okay." ”

"Alright, I'll send you the location later. Ye Wen's voice on the other end of the phone made Zhang Ruiming feel more and more mysterious.

"Hmm...... Always stay safe. Zhang Ruiming finally added.

Hung up the phone, Zhang Ruiming fell into thought, Ye Wen's position is really confusing, as a reporter of the Voice of the Times, her previous report has caused many difficulties to the work of the task force, at the same time, in order to investigate the factory area of Nanjiang Group in Sanhe Town, a series of experiences can rule out the suspicion of collusion between her and Nanjiang Group, but after all, the Voice of the Times is not a media to mess with......

Just thinking about it, a message came in from the mobile phone, it was the address sent by Ye Wen, Zhang Ruiming cleaned up, put on a coat, gently pushed the door open, and after making sure that there was no one in the corridor, Zhang Ruiming pressed the elevator button while calling a taxi with his mobile phone.

Suddenly, a voice startled Zhang Ruiming, he raised his head and saw Liu Yang and Gu Hai just coming out of the elevator, they were holding fruits in their hands, they should have just taken the elevator after buying something outside. happened to bump into Zhang Ruiming, who was about to go down, as soon as the elevator door opened, Liu Yangzheng greeted him warmly: "Yo, Zhang Jian, such a coincidence, go out?"

"Well, something to get out. Zhang Ruiming's eyes flickered, he was always not used to lying to his colleagues.

"Oh. Liu Yang's face was innocent, but Gu Hai next to him was always silent and didn't say anything.

…………

Latour Red Wine Manor is a high-end western restaurant in the western suburbs of Dongjiang City, to the location, Zhang Ruiming thought that he had come to the wrong place, how to meet him, and choose such a high-end place for another information, from getting off the bus to the door of the restaurant There are dozens of meters of landscape, old limestone bricks and rows of oak barrels, plus the exaggerated Minotaur fountain at the door, under the illumination of the atmosphere lamp, people have a strange feeling of being in the ancient castle of Western Europe.

Zhang Ruiming couldn't help but touch his pocket, worried about whether the money on his body was enough.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even have the qualifications to pay for it. When he arrived at the door, Zhang Ruiming was just about to go inside, but he didn't expect the waiter at the door of the restaurant to stretch out his arm with a white suit to stop him.

"Huh?" Zhang Ruiming looked at the handsome male waiter puzzled.

"Hello sir, we are here for members, please show your membership card or tell me who the friend who invited you to come. ”

Zhang Ruiming was stunned for a moment, just wanted to save a little face from this handsome male attendant, and said in a low voice, "My friend's name is Ye Wen." At this time, I saw a fiery shadow trotting over from the glass revolving door, leaving the next sentence "This is my guest", and pulled Zhang Ruiming in.

In the private room on the second floor, as soon as Zhang Ruiming sat down, he asked Ye Wen: "Why is it so grand, I thought I would leave after speaking, why did I run so ......?"

As he was talking, the waiter came over with a plate and menu, Zhang Ruiming swallowed the dejorative adjectives in the second half of his stomach, took the menu and opened it, just glanced at it, he almost wanted to throw the menu far away, the numbers on it are beyond imagination, although the family has always been relatively wealthy, but Zhang Ruiming is extremely strict with his own consumption, on the one hand, it is the prosecutor's honest and thrifty style requirements, on the other hand, it is also the habit of the family during the difficult period after his father resigned from the procuratorate.

"Well, it's past 9 o'clock in the evening, I don't need to order anything, just have a glass of water." ”

As if seeing through Zhang Ruiming's embarrassment, Ye Wenwan smiled, took the menu, ordered some desserts casually, and waved the waiter down.

Ye Wen covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I can't see it, chief prosecutor, I heard that your family is so rich, but it turns out that there is no shelf of a rich child." ”

Zhang Ruiming replied with a wry smile: "You want to say that I am just a greasy middle-aged uncle, I used to have a junior sister who also described me like this." In fact, I usually live at home, living expenses are a few hundred yuan a month, I don't smoke or drink, I don't have any entertainment, and I don't have any expensive hobbies, just buy some books. ”

"Oh, that's a good man. ”

"What a good man, it's just unproductive, and I don't have any material desires, and my only hobby may be work. ”

“…… Workaholic, so suddenly I have nowhere to show my skills, and I'm very impatient, right?" Ye Wen seemed to mean something.

Zhang Ruiming hated this kind of circle, not to mention that he had already taken a risk when he came out to see her today, so he asked directly: "Ye Meinu, in the phone earlier, you seem to have any situation to discuss with me, now let's get to the point early, where did you know that the work of our task force has stalled?"

Ye Wen played with the silver spoon in his hand and said softly: "The Voice of Our Times can be said to be the top ten media in the world, and the attention and information control of the dynamics of the entire Asian countries can be imagined...... You are the person who was in charge of the first public interest lawsuit in Nanzhou Province, and you yourself understand how big the impact is, for the entire Chinese food policy and environmental governance in the south, it may be the beginning of a change, do you think we can not follow such a big case? ”

"Okay, I'll change the question, why is it stagnant, can you tell me the reason?" Zhang Ruiming's eyes were eager, he didn't come here to play a guessing game with this girl, he just wanted to get a definite answer directly.

Ye Wen ignored his eager eyes, stood up and turned around and walked under the decorative fireplace next to him, admiring the oil paintings on the wall of the red wine manor.

Zhang Ruiming waited for a few minutes, and saw that she was still there admiring the oil painting, and suppressed the anger in his heart, "I didn't expect that this woman was speechless, and invited herself over so nightly, but she was mysterious and secret, and she refused to confide in anything." ”

A feeling of being toyed with arises spontaneously, if it weren't for the gentlemanly demeanor, Zhang Ruiming would have wanted to drop things and leave, he felt that he didn't waste time here, anyway, he believed that such a big case, it was impossible for the province to sit idly by. Public interest litigation is a matter of time, and even if the task force fails this time, Zhang Ruiming is determined to push forward the investigation of "cadmium rice" through the provincial inspection alone.

After all, the people live on food, and there is no need to waste time here with this inexplicable woman.

Zhang Ruiming thought of it, he got up and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, he carefully observed the oil painting that Ye Wen was looking at, this is a "Tears of Aspasia" The lower left part of the painting makes full use of the shadows, the brushstrokes are expressive, painting a beautiful Greek nude, kneeling in a temple to pray to the sky, and the upper part of the oil painting, a large area of the picture is the temple above, in the middle of the picture, the burly and majestic Zeus is holding a lightning bolt, and Athena is arguing with Athena holding a shield and a sword on the left, the symmetry is perfect, the color is rich, the contrast is strong, and the proportions of the figures are also very perfect, which is a typical Renaissance style.

Zhang Ruiming has a wide range of knowledge, and he knows that this oil painting is the handwriting of the representative of the Florentine School of the Renaissance and the famous politician Van Eyck.

Of course, this painting is a reproduction, but what attracted Zhang Ruiming was not how expressive the painting was and how wonderful the technique was, but what made him care about the background story of the painting.

This painting actually tells such a story: Aspasia is the daughter of Zeus, the main god of Greece, and mortals, she is half-human and half-god, extremely beautiful, and even aroused the covetousness of Zeus, in order to protect her (one is jealousy), Athena hid her in the Greek city-state of Miletus, and it turned out that a thief in Miletus - Periclinus seduced her and gave birth to a child, Athena in order to punish Periclinus, sent the warrior Hector to kill Periclinus, but unexpectedly Aspasia and Periclinus had feelings, she went to the temple of Zeus to cry, and finally moved Zeus, Zeus tried to stop Hector before he was about to cut off Periclinus's head, but it was a step too late, and Aspasia was heartbroken, and after leaving tears, Zeus performed a miracle to resurrect Periclinus.

The rest of the story is very, very long, but in the end it is not a happy ending, why did Ye Wen deliberately send this painting to Zhang Ruiming's eyes? Could it be that she is hinting at something?

Moreover, the author of this painting, Van Eyck, was also the most politically active painter of the Renaissance, and often carried political demands in his paintings.

With such an association, an unbelievable idea suddenly popped up in Zhang Ruiming's mind.

He understood what forces forced the task force to stagnate its work in the first place.

The atmosphere in the winery is suitable, elegant and noble, Zhang Ruiming's appearance is calm, but the meaning of this painting has set off turbulent waves in his heart.

Human society is a layer of interlocking rings, and everyone is a link in the causal link composed of countless links.

Zhang Ruiming's mood quickly calmed down.

Zhang Ruiming walked up to Ye Wen and said with a wry smile: "In such an obscure way...... It's hard for you. No wonder he refused to say it on the phone. ”

Ye Wen smiled and said: "After all, the stakes are very high, communicate with smart people, try to communicate in a smart way, I advocate the law, it does not mean that I am rigid and ignorant, for the implicit way you Chinese like to use, I can also be familiar with learning." ”

The light in the box was dim, and the candles were extinguished, Zhang Ruiming looked at Ye Wen, who was in an unknown position in front of him, and he asked, "Why did you tell me the news?"

"It's very simple, last time in Trois-Rivières, thank you for saving me. Ye Wen smiled lightly, and under the rendering of the pale yellow halo, it looked particularly moving.
