Chapter 44: Dinner
Everyone watched as he drank the bottle of wine and fell into silence.
Back then, since Ai Xiaomiao's accident, it was difficult for all of us to see Li Hao happy, and he gradually devoted himself to his law department, and there were fewer and fewer gatherings and exchanges with us.
And in his current state, it seems that he still hasn't completely recovered from the blow that incident hit him.
Li Hao held the bottle of wine that had been drunk in his hand, looked at us in a daze, and suddenly burst into a bitter laugh.
"Hahahaha...... I'm sorry guys, but I'm a bit out of shape. The dishes are almost ready, so let's get ready to eat. Don't wait for Hong Jialu for the time being, she should be almost there. ”
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and they all took out their beers from the crates and prepared to start eating.
Looking at their smiles at this time, I can clearly feel the sadness in everyone's hearts. Although Xiao Miao's accident hit Li Hao the hardest, because she was his girlfriend and the person he loved the most, it even made him fall into a state of depression for a while.
But after all, each of us was also a close friend at that time, so when something like this happened to our friend, it left a sad memory in the hearts of each of us.
Zhang Yiming was very sensible and very considerate of Li Hao's mood at this time, he silently sat up from his seat and walked to Li Hao's side with a bottle of beer.
"Haozi, don't be sad, it's been so many years, and everyone is gathered together today in the hope that it can make us forget the past and let those who have left sleep better, right? You still have us. ”
Li Hao's eyes flashed, he patted Zhang Yiming's shoulder gratefully, picked up the wine glass in his hand and touched Zhang Yiming, and the two drank the wine in the cup.
Zhang Yiming is right, almost 10 years have passed since Xiao Miao's incident, and we can't keep holding on to this matter. Because there are so many people around us who love and love ourselves, we must look forward.
I looked at the two of them, but I felt very uncomfortable. It seems that Li Hao brought us together not to let us all have a meal. He may well have other ideas in mind.
At this time, the chef "team" invited by Li Hao had finished serving all the dishes, and the chef came out of the kitchen and greeted Li Hao.
"Mr. Li, we have completed our work for today, and the dessert and wine have been prepared after the meal. If you don't have any plans, I'll leave here with my helpers. After all, you know....... The restaurant will need us tomorrow. ”
"Okay Chef, you can leave as many times as you like now. Thank you so much today, otherwise I wouldn't know how to entertain my friends. My place is already remote, and I bother you to come from so far away to cook for us......." Li Hao said, bowing respectfully to the chef.
"Hehe, Mr. Li is polite. Your dad and I are old friends, so it's nothing to help you," the chef said, looking at us, "Please have a good meal, if you think my food is not good enough, this is my calling card, and you are always welcome to criticize it." ”
We all laughed. What a humorous chef.
After the chef and his party left, we also picked up the dishes and chopsticks in our hands and began to enjoy our dinner today.
At the beginning, everyone was not very open, after all, they had been separated for 10 years, and the friends who were once familiar with each other were now a little rusty. But everyone was also an old friend who knew each other well, so after a few glasses of wine, we all opened up the conversation.
Zhang Yiming talked to us about his entrepreneurial journey of opening a bar, and Qingliu showed great interest in it, and even asked him for some of the skills and doorways.
"Qingliu, is it possible, you also have the idea of opening a bar?" Azure quipped.
Qing Liu waved his hand and explained:
"Don't get me wrong, I just want to know some more insider information about the bar industry, and there was a case about this that I thought about for a long time."
"Xueba is really a Xueba, others are really just chatting, and you are still here to ponder your case, it's really enough! Hahaha......" I laughed.
Everyone was amused by me.
"Brother Feng, you kid, don't pretend to be modest there. Come on, come on, let's talk to everyone about how you solved the corpse dismemberment case and the extraordinarily large cross-border abduction and trafficking case that caused a lot of uproar across the country some time ago. The news has been reported, and you are a great hero in solving this case! ”
Wu Xi said to me on the side.
I looked at her with a smile in my eyes:
"Why, my old lover is still protecting you! That's what got me going. ”
After asking me to say something, Qingliu pretended to raise his fist at me, signaling me to speak carefully.
"Yes, Fengzi, you can tell everyone. I heard, didn't Weilan also participate in the detection of the case with you......" Seeing this, Li Hao also picked up our words.
I smiled wryly, thinking in my heart that I deserve to be all people from the police, and I want to hear the case without talking about anything else.
"Okay, I'll tell you about the case." I didn't shirk it anymore, but told them about the whole case.
The human finger I found in the dumplings talked about Wu Xuesheng, who shot himself; From the children who were abducted and trafficked, they talked about the behavior of those criminals who were inferior to animals;
From how I connected the two cases, to how I personally arrested my former teacher......
As I spoke, everyone present listened in silence. When I heard how the children in the trafficking case were dealt with by those people, they all cursed with resentment. Qing Liu and Wu Xi even said that they had never encountered such a vile and inhumane crime.
As I said before, this disgusting behavior, which is inferior to even a beast, is not acceptable to everyone.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Soon we all started to get a little drunk.
Originally, almost everyone is a police officer, and they rarely come into contact with alcohol, so it's normal for them to lose their strength quickly.
I don't know why, Li Hao drank a lot of wine today. He quickly fell drunk at our table, drunk and unconscious.
Everyone was very happy today, drank a lot, and talked a lot, but they all tacitly didn't say a word about it.
