When a group of eight people from the serious crime team arrived at Jiayu Hotel at half past six on time, dressed in casual clothes, Tian Xiaoyu and her mixed-race cousin Zhen Jiali were already waiting in front of the hotel. At a glance, seeing Qi Zhibin, who was walking in front and was supported by Jia Wei's shoulder, Zhen Jiali stretched out her hand and pulled it, I don't know if it was because she was excited or because she saw that Qi Zhibin was a little shy, Tian Xiaoyu, whose cheeks were crimson, greeted her.

"Officer Qi, Officer Jia, Officer Xiao...... Welcome, welcome officers to come and cheer. ”

In fact, the reason why Xiao Hua did not refuse Tian Xiaoyu's invitation when she sent her invitation was because of the sympathy for Tian Xiaoyu's mother and daughter all the time in his heart. Since her father died in a car accident and her mother had to take a break from school after her mother became depressed, she took over the bean flower stall, and everyone has always deliberately taken care of her business. Now, no matter how many shares Tian Xiaoyu has in this Jiayu Hotel, as long as they can share part of the profits, so that their mother and daughter can have a stable income, so that Tian Xiaoyu can successfully complete her studies, and her mother can take care of her body with peace of mind, it is naturally what Xiao Hua likes to see, so she will happily come to cheer.

And Ling Zhan's starting point, in addition to the reasons he said in the serious crime team, he also deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to express everyone's gratitude for his promotion to deputy director.

So as soon as Tian Xiaoyu and Zhen Jiali were welcomed into the hotel lobby, they turned their heads and looked around. Without him, I just want to pay the congratulatory gift money for everyone alone. However, after looking around, I didn't find that there was a bookkeeper who accepted gifts. Until he was led to a private room on the second floor by Tian Xiaoyu, Ling Zhan had no choice but to signal Jia Wei to ask about the situation.

In fact, not only Ling Zhan, but others also looked for the bookkeeper to no avail, so they all wanted to know the answer. Even if there was no indication from Ling Zhan, Jia Wei still had to ask Tian Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, where can I get the gift money?"

"Officer Jia, we said that we won't accept anyone's gift money. ”

"How can this be? If that's the case, we'll have to leave. With that, Jia Wei deliberately stood up.

Tian Xiaoyu, who was in a hurry, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Officer Jia, this is really the case, if you don't inquire, we really won't accept anyone's gift money." As he spoke, he subconsciously handed Qi Zhibin a look of help.

Such a small action naturally couldn't escape Jia Wei's small but very shrewd eyes, so Jia Wei pulled Qi Zhibin up from his seat, and casually pushed Tian Xiaoyu's side and said, "Little comrade, this glorious and arduous task will be handed over to you." If you don't finish well, you don't have to count on this quarter's bonus. ”

"Good boy, I've been here for so long, why haven't I gotten a quarterly bonus, are you secretly greedy for ink?"

Jia Wei's joke suddenly hooked Rong Liang again, so he said seriously: "Brother Liang, are you old and confused, right? I didn't come when you came, how could it be me?"

"Who can it be if it's not you?" Rong Liang snorted and took a sip of tea and said, "Come on, don't want to borrow money from me in the future." ”

"Brother Liang, are you really?"

"Why not?"

Jia Wei rolled his eyelids, but suddenly looked at Qi Zhibin, who was still there in a daze, and said, "No way, your bonus this quarter is really gone." ”

"Hehe, you two living treasures. Xiao Hua smiled and took out the red envelope that had been prepared from his pocket a long time ago, and was about to hand it to Qi Zhibin, but was stopped by Ling Zhan.

"Xiao Qi, this is for you, your bonus for this quarter, I will send it to you in advance. As he spoke, he shoved a stack of money into Qi Zhibin's hand, and reached out to push him.

How could Qi Zhibin not know Ling Zhan's intentions, so he and Tian Xiaoyu left the room and came to the corridor before saying, "You just accept it first, otherwise everyone may be really embarrassed to eat here." ”

"Officer Qi, I really can't take it. We all said that we really don't accept anyone's gift money. ”

Seeing that Tian Xiaoyu resolutely refused to accept it, Qi Zhibin couldn't help but feel embarrassed. And Tian Xiaoyu didn't fail to see it, she didn't want to embarrass Qi Zhibin, and just as she was about to open her mouth to explain a few more sentences, she heard a familiar voice.

"Yo, Officer Qi, long time no see. ”

Don't look at it, just from the sound, whether it is Tian Xiaoyu or Qi Zhibin, they can guess who is coming. The two turned their heads at the same time, and sure enough, they saw that they were wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, but the left shoulder was cut open, revealing white gauze that was obviously bandaged after being injured.

"Brother Wu Ming, why are you here?"

"What, Xiaoyu doesn't welcome me?"

"No, no. Tian Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "I have been asking you everywhere two days ago, and they all said that you went on a trip. ”

"It's a tourist, it's not just back last night. ”

"Brother Wu Ming, what's wrong with your shoulder?"

"Oh, no, I just accidentally fell while walking, and I just hit my shoulder. Wu Ming looked at the stack of money in Qi Zhibin's hand and asked Tian Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, where are you responsible for bookkeeping?"

"Brother Wu Ming, I'm explaining to Officer Qi that we don't accept gift money for this opening, and we won't accept anyone's. ”

"Eat for nothing?"

"Brother Wu Ming, it's not for nothing. We are very grateful to be able to come to the show. ”

"Isn't it for nothing if you don't spend money?" Wu Ming said with his usual evil smile: "It doesn't matter if I eat for nothing, the key is that if you don't accept gift money, how will Officer Qi deal with themselves?"

In a word, Tian Xiaoyu was even more embarrassed, she didn't know Qi Zhibin's embarrassment, but she didn't accept other people's gifts, but what was it to accept a few people from the serious crime team.

"Come on, Officer Qi also helped me, leave this problem to me today, can I help Officer Qi deal with it?"

I didn't expect Wu Ming to take the initiative to say such a thing, Qi Zhibin looked at the stack of money given by Ling Zhan in his hand, and handed it to Wu Ming's outstretched hand without hesitation and said, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome. ”

So, Qi Zhibin didn't care what Wu Ming did with the money, said hello to Tian Xiaoyu and turned back to the room, and told him what happened when he saw Wu Ming and asked Wu Ming for help.

"What did you say, the evil god was injured, who did it?!"

No one cared about what Wu Ming would do with the gift money that Ling Zhan took out, but they were all very puzzled and even surprised that Wu Ming was injured. Especially Jia Wei, Rong Liang, Xiao Hua, Song Jin and other people who had contact with Wu Ming turned their heads to look at Qi Zhibin and waited for his explanation.

Tian Xiaoyu asked Wu Ming, and he said that he accidentally fell while walking. ”

As soon as he heard this, Rong Liang first said: "It's pure, who will fall on the inside of his shoulder?"

Jia Wei immediately followed: "It's hard to say, Wu Ming is not an ordinary person. Then he said in a strange manner: "Red face and trouble, the ancients really did not deceive." ”

"It doesn't make sense. ”

Originally, Jia Wei's last sentence was nondescript, coupled with Rong Liang's four-word criticism, everyone immediately laughed.

After a while, Ling Zhan suddenly spoke: "What Xiao Jia said may have some truth. ”

No one expected Ling Zhan to say this, so much so that Jia Wei slapped his thigh and stared at Ling Zhan tightly for a few seconds before saying, "Deputy Director Ling, Team Ling, I guess your old man must be a person with a story." Take this opportunity to tell us about it. ”

"Nonsense, what story can I have?" This was the first time Ling Zhan had joked with everyone since he was transferred, so it mobilized everyone's curiosity for a while. "I mean, Wu Ming must have experienced a lot of risks when he accompanied Zhong Caini on a trip this time. Otherwise, who can easily hurt him with his skills?"

Digression: In the late 80s and early 90s of the last century, a kind of literature called "small" was very popular. At that time, the British once held a "small essay contest". Entries are required to first meet the characteristics of "small", which is short enough, but cannot lose the characteristics of the act itself. The specific requirements are as follows: the work must involve religion, royalty, and have suspense, characters, and the plot is of course as short as possible.

In the end, the content of the work that won the first prize was translated into Chinese with only the following eleven words, and only fifteen words including punctuation:

God, the queen is pregnant, who did it?!

Note: Queen Elizabeth was not married at the time.
