Chapter 138: The Mansion of Happiness
Yaoyao and I stayed in the store until noon, and then had lunch with her, after dinner, we went back to the bar, and when I entered the door, I saw Boss Wu again, his store was not far from the next door, and Boss Wu was sitting outside the store with a magazine in his hand.
"It's back. Seeing us, Boss Wu smiled and waved his hand.
I nodded at him and led Yaoyao into the bar.
I stayed at the bar for a while, and then I said goodbye to Yaoyao, and when I left the bar, I took a special look, and Boss Wu was no longer there.
In the evening, I went to Li Ping'an's appointment, it was in a very ordinary restaurant, Li Ping'an had already arrived when I arrived, and when he saw me, he got up and greeted: "I kept saying that I would invite Brother An to dinner, and I finally found a time." ”
"You're too polite, in fact, it's good that your mind arrives. I laughed.
I saw three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and asked, "Is there anyone else?"
"I also made an appointment with Team Meng. Li Ping'an replied.
"I haven't seen him in a while, and I don't know what happened to him on the side of the security brigade. I nodded, and I haven't seen him again since Team Meng was transferred to the Security Brigade.
"Is it okay, Team Meng was born to be a criminal policeman, and he can't be suffocated to death if he goes to the security brigade. Li Ping'an sighed.
As soon as the door opened, Team Meng arrived.
"Yo, I'm the last to come. The Meng team smiled when they entered the door.
"Team Meng. Li Ping'an hurriedly got up and greeted.
"Not anymore, don't be so polite. "Team Meng waved his hand, and Team Meng's face was a little gloomy, and I knew that he was not happy.
"Team Meng, no matter where we are, we are all the same as before. I advised.
"That's, I love to hear Brother An's words. Team Meng laughed.
After chatting a few words, the waiter brought up the wine and food, and the three of us began to drink and eat, and unconsciously Meng Team and Li Ping'an talked about the former criminal police team, and Meng Team had some alcohol, and casually said a few cases, I was very surprised to hear it, I didn't know much about the work of the criminal police, and the process of solving the case that Meng Team said was completely different from what was played on TV.
"In fact, we are a contradiction in the criminal police, on the one hand, we hope that the world is peaceful, and in our hearts, we are looking forward to a big case. Team Meng said with a smile.
"No, when I was in the police academy, my teacher said that a police officer who doesn't want to solve a big case is not a good policeman. Li Ping'an played a poor mouth.
"By the way, Xiao Li, are there any recent cases?" asked Team Meng casually.
"It's not a big case, it's just that a chef died in the Shanshui Hotel yesterday...... Brother An, you saw it. Li Ping'an replied.
"How did you die?" asked Team Meng, following closely.
I secretly laughed in my heart, it was really an occupational disease.
"The medical examiner has not yet produced the results...... When we went, the man was dead, and from the appearance of death, it looked like he had been poisoned. Li Ping'an replied.
"Tell me. Team Meng simply put down his chopsticks.
"Yesterday we received a report, I followed the old party and a few of them to investigate the scene, the deceased is a chef in the Shanshui Hotel, more than 40 years old, the scene is in the back kitchen, the deceased has bleeding from the mouth and nose, there are obvious scratch marks on the chest and neck, several eyewitness testimony is the same, all say that the deceased suddenly became ill, scratched himself with his hands, and the death process did not take more than a minute. Li Ping'an said as a report.
"Scratching...... Bleeding from the mouth and nose...... How do you judge?" Team Meng muttered, raised his head and stared at Li Ping'an and asked.
"Poisoning, I suspect it's poisoning. Li Ping'an replied very happily.
"Such an obvious poisoning killing...... Xiao Li, do you remember what I taught you before, the more obvious the case, the more careful you must be to verify it. Team Meng tapped his fingers on the table.
"Yes. Li Ping'an nodded respectfully.
"Maybe I ate the wrong thing. I couldn't help but interject.
Team Meng and Li Ping'an both looked at me.
"I'm just talking casually, drinking and drinking. I laughed to hide my embarrassment.
The meal was a bit like a case analysis meeting, and Team Meng and Li Ping'an chatted hotly, and I couldn't help but slander in my heart.
After dinner, I went directly back to the pharmacy, and when I went back, I found that Lin Chen was gone, and his luggage was gone.
"Just now two girls came to look for him, and he left, and let me hide it from you. Uncle Wei said.
I was secretly funny in my heart, Lin Chen was afraid that I would tell Molly, in fact, it was useless if I said it or not, Molly didn't mean that to Lin Chen at all.
"Let's go, just want to be quiet. ”
After returning to the room and staying for a while, I suddenly felt quiet, Lin Chen has always been very lively in the pharmacy these days, he can't be idle, he has nothing to do, and I am still a little unaccustomed to leaving.
I was busy at the pharmacy for the next few days, and I was taking the pulse of a patient at the pharmacy when I suddenly heard two old men chatting.
"Hey, have you watched the news, another person has died in the Happy Mansion!" said an old man with a pretentious expression.
"Doesn't the news say suicide. The other old man waved his hand.
"Hey, that's the news, one of my nephews is in the Public Security Bureau, and he said that he didn't commit suicide, he died miserably, and he scratched his face. The old man said mysteriously.
"Yes!" a few elderly people who often came to the pharmacy gathered around.
"You are not allowed to spread the word when you hear it, this matter is not allowed to be ......," the old man who asked lowered his voice.
During the chatter of the old men, I learned that two people had died in the Happiness Mansion one after another, and I couldn't help but think of what Li Ping'an said about the chef of the Shanshui Hotel...... But I didn't think much about it, after all, it had nothing to do with me.
In the afternoon, Uncle Wei and I had dinner in the pharmacy, and sure enough, the TV broadcast the case of the Happy Building, the reporter's statement was suicide, and a police officer from the Public Security Bureau came forward to refute the rumors.
In the next two days, the Happiness Building suddenly became a hot spot, and many patients who came to the store were talking about it, and I realized that another person had died there!
That afternoon, I suddenly received a call from Team Meng.
"Brother An, there is something I want to trouble you. "Team Meng got straight to the point on the phone.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"I'm sure you've heard about the Happiness Building, right?" asked Team Meng.
"Yes. I answered.
"I'd like to ask you for a trip to the Happiness Mansion. Team Meng suddenly lowered his voice.
"What!" I froze.
Half an hour later, I got into the car of the Meng team, and he came to pick me up at the pharmacy.
"Brother An, we are not outsiders, so I'll just say it directly, what do you think about the matter of the Happy Building?" I asked as soon as I got in the car.
"I look at it on my phone. I shrugged.
"No kidding!" Team Meng looked serious.
"Team Meng, why are you looking for me to solve the case, I won't. I smiled wryly.
"Brother An, real people don't tell lies, I know that you and Wei Lao are capable, Wei Lao I don't want to move, I can only beg you cheekily, the case of the Happiness Mansion is definitely not simple, I want you to take a look." Team Meng said directly.
I'm a little embarrassed, after all, the Meng team has a lot of contact with us, and I can't deny it directly when he says this, but I can't say it explicitly, so I asked after thinking about it.
"Do you think there's anything wrong with this case?"
"The incident of Mulan Mountain made me know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, and there are some things that I don't know. "Team Meng glanced at me.
"Okay, then I'll go for a walk. But I don't guarantee anything. I smiled wryly.
