Chapter Twenty-Six: Skill
The heat wave did not subside even at night, when the wind was still, the leaves were motionless, and the stray kittens were lying in the open space in front of the shop, lazily closing their eyes.
When passers-by pass by, they will deliberately raise their feet and step over the kitten, and some people will stop and gently move it to the side of the steps with their hands.
It's a pity that the kitten is still lying in the open space, enjoying the cold wind blowing from the store.
Because the weather is getting hotter, there are not many people on the street, and when you drive your car to the bar street, it is easy to find an idle spot.
Gao Hanyu handsomely reversed the car into the parking space and walked into the colorless bar with Ji Xiaobin.
As soon as you enter the door, the cool breeze of the air conditioner blows across your cheeks, and the refreshing smell quickly envelops your whole body.
Ji Xiaobin narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and sat in front of the bar behind Gao Hanyu.
"Hey, Boss Bai." The man dressed in a slim suit at the bar threw a wink at Gao Hanyu and smiled, "Why are you so free to come to us to play today." ”
"I'm in a good mood, bring a friend over and sit down." Gao Hanyu responded, turned around and put his arms on the bar, looking at the dance floor.
The dance floor at the bar has no rousing music, no hot dancing, just a grand piano and a luthier in a bandeau dress.
The pianist played soft music, without singing, without accompaniment to the piano, but it was so arrogant and clear.
If it weren't for the lights of the bar, if it weren't for the intoxicating aroma of wine at the other end of the bar, Ji Xiaobin would even think that he had gone to the wrong place and strayed into someone else's concert.
"Hey, stupid?" Gao Hanyu touched Ji Xiaobin with his elbow, he saw that the latter was full of curiosity all around, guessing that he should rarely come to these places before, and smiled secretly, "I'll bring you to play more in the future, I'm here to relax today, don't be so restrained." ”
"Who, who's restrained!" Ji Xiaobin glared at Gao Hanyu like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Gao Hanyu picked up the wine handed by the bartender, took a sip with a smile, and didn't speak.
He likes to wear a white coat, sit here, drink a small glass of liquor once in a while, and then walk back to his home, which is only a few miles away.
So, the people in the bar have known each other for a long time.
They all called him Boss White.
Gao Hanyu didn't know why he suddenly wanted to bring Ji Xiaobin to the bar, maybe it was affected by the discussion during the day, in his heart, he knew that Ji Xiaobin would definitely be the same as himself, suspicious of Bai Minyi's appearance, and suspected that the scene where she and everyone's bodies were found was even more irritated and had no evidence to prove Bai Minyi's criminal suspicion.
"Again." He handed the empty cup in his hand and Ji Xiaobin's hand to the bartender and said.
"Uh...... This drunk is very energetic, Boss Bai, I see your friend ......"
"It's okay, drunk, stay at your house." Ji Xiaobin knew that the other party was worried that he was drunk and would stay in the store, so he said to Gao Hanyu.
"Okay, I have it in my room." Gao Hanyu raised his eyebrows, he was originally thinking about how to keep Ji Xiaobin, but when he said this, he was right in his own arms, "Come on." ”
"Okay." The bartender took the wine glass and said happily, "By the way, there are a few new customers in the store recently, and they are also very drinkable, it would be good to have them tonight, Boss Bai can fight with them to see who can survive to the end." ”
"Huh? Do you often fight for wine here? Ji Xiaobin looked at Gao Hanyu when he heard this.
As a public servant, Ji Xiaobin's family has always been very opposed to the habit of never leaving tobacco and alcohol, and never leaving his mouth, so Ji Xiaobin is an extremely restrained person, if it weren't for Gao Hanyu accidentally discovering that he actually knows how to smoke and drink, and he will scold a word or two of swear words when he encounters something bad, he doesn't know, he is actually such a man behind his back.
Therefore, when Ji Xiaobin asked this question, Gao Hanyu suddenly had the illusion of being caught by his girlfriend, he was nervous for a moment, and thought that the other party was the same as himself, just an ordinary man with a normal orientation, so what was there to be afraid of asking like this, so he nodded and said, "Well, sometimes." ”
"Oh." Ji Xiaobin raised his eyebrows, answered, and stopped talking.
The two of them are not people who talk a lot, and this moment they threw the atmosphere into the freezing point.
The bartender touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, and just wanted to say something, when he raised his eyes, he saw a group of people walking in, it was the guest he had just mentioned, he whispered to Gao Hanyu: "Hey, Boss Bai, that's what I'm talking about!" ”
"Him?!" Gao Hanyu obviously noticed it too, and he shouted out in a little surprise, but fortunately, the voice was not loud, and the other party did not notice it.
Ji Xiaobin followed Gao Hanyu's stunned gaze, and was as stunned as him.
The person who came was not a big shot, but Lan Yunuo's "little friends" before his death.
The man at the head is wearing a pair of thick-rimmed sunglasses, a gilt necklace looming in a dark shirt that is deliberately unbuttoned, and the woman snuggling up to him is dressed sensually, and the man's hand roaming around her waist makes it difficult not to notice their presence.
The two of them are followed by a few men and women dressed as gangsters, and they don't think it's a good thing, otherwise they would be those sons and ladies who have endless money to spend.
"Alas, people now." Ji Xiaobin sighed secretly, he was not sorry, nor was he resentful, he just felt helpless.
Today's young people are idle and really don't know what to do.
Gao Hanyu understood what he was thinking, patted Ji Xiaobin on the shoulder, shook his head, and said to the bartender: "How long have these people been here?" ”
"Hmm...... About three weeks ago," said the bartender, "we were ready to close that day, and they stumbled in and broke the display we had in front of the door, and they were making a lot of noise, and you know, the most annoying thing about our boss is people who come to the bar and make a mess." So it didn't take long for our manager to come out and invite them out. ”
"And then?"
"Later, ah......" the bartender recalled, although the memory of the time is not deep until now, but it is still more or less impressive.
He remembered howling at the crowd, pushing the bar manager away and sitting in the largest booth near the bar.
The man in the lead was dressed the same as he is now, but he didn't wear sunglasses.
His eyes were red, and the drunkenness on his face had not dissipated for a long time, but the girl next to him came to her senses first, stood up crookedly, walked to the bar and said to the bartender, "...... Want...... Be happy, yes, be happy. ”
"Well, miss, we don't have a happy wine here, are you talking about the name of the drink? Nutrition Express? ”
"Hmm...... No, it's not! Be...... Wine, it's wine! ”
"This ...... Manager, I think we should call 110, right? ”
"Don't do it yet, I remember, this is the eldest young man of that family." After the manager helped everyone to sit down in the booths, he said to the bartender, "Alan, you go and call the boss first." ”
"Okay." Alan, the bartender, agreed, and turned to go into the rest room.
"Then the boss and the manager are like they have signed some kind of agreement, and every time they come we have to serve them with good food and wine, and when they are gone, we will continue to operate as usual." The bartender said that there was already cacophony of electronic music on the dance floor, and a man in an exaggerated hip-hop style holding a hand, as if he was adjusting something, and Allen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just like now." ”
"Heh, it looks like he's still a son with a background." Gao Hanyu sneered and patted Ji Xiaobin's thigh, "Do you want to go to the meeting, Ji Dashao?" ”
"Come on." Ji Xiaobin also stood up and said.
This night, the two of them were dressed in black and white like messengers from hell, which added a lot of evil to them when they went to the gang.
My grandson, who didn't react, looked at the two approaching, thinking that they were newcomers in the bar, so he said, "Why did it take so long to come, come and help me open this wine." ”
Gao Hanyu grinned, Ji Xiaobin naturally guessed the little Jiujiu in his heart, easily dodged to the side, watched Gao Hanyu pick up the wine bottle and throw it up, and then kicked the bottleneck with his foot, and the wine sprayed out in an instant.
I don't know if there is magic in this world, and the moment the wine flies out of the bottle, it falls into the wine glass placed on the table like a magnetic force.
By the time the wine in the bottle had been drained, the wine glasses on the table were full, and five glasses full of wine aroma and an empty bottle that had lost its neck were presented to everyone.
"Meritorious ...... Kung fu! T Dynasty Kung Fu! My grandson was stunned and praised it.
"How about a drink with us?" Gao Hanyu sat down, picked up one of the cups, and handed it to my grandson.
"Of course," my grandson took it, took a sip, and spread his hands flat on the backrest of the card seat, "I haven't seen such interesting kung fu for a long time, who are you?" ”
"My surname is Bai, and I have a single word and a jade. This is my friend, Ji Tong. Gao Hanyu politely stretched out his hand, but his mouth was lying.
"Ah, Mr. Bai, Mr. Ji, hello." My grandson Wei did not hold Gao Hanyu's hand, but kept the original movement and said, "I am my grandson Wei." ”
"Fuso?" Ji Xiaobin was slightly stunned, he originally thought that Lan Yunuo's friend was from Xicheng no matter what, but he didn't expect that the other party was from Fusang.
"You seem surprised?"
"I'm just a little surprised that your Xicheng dialect is so good." Ji Xiaobin hid his embarrassment for a second and said.
"That's because Miss Lan taught her well, without her, I wouldn't have known that this place in Xicheng is so fun and beautiful."
"Lan Yunuo?!"
"You, know Miss Lan?!" This time it was my Sun Ziwei's turn to be surprised, he stared at Ji Xiaobin and Gao Hanyu with vigilant eyes, and said, "Who are you?" ”
"Don't be afraid, we're just Miss Lan's friends in Xicheng, and we have no ill will towards you."
"You're P-poor." My grandson Wei squinted his eyes and said affirmatively, "Miss Lan said that she has no friends in Xicheng, only enemies, if someone really claims to be her friend, then there is only one possibility, they are P poor." Miss Lan...... Dead, right? My Sun Ziwei's tone was almost not a little confused, or rather, after he learned from Gao Hanyu's gaze that Lan Yunuo was dead, his expression and attitude became very calm, as if he was saying that the moonlight was beautiful tonight.
