Chapter 28: Holidays (3)
"Well, I'll leave it to you, the second detachment has made some progress in the case of Li Shukang's fall from the bridge, and I will listen to the report in the afternoon, so I won't accompany you to find Li Xiaoai."
After using my mobile phone to remind my mother many times to pay attention to her and Jingjing's safety, I got an impatient reply, "You only need to pay attention when you are outside, I am not old enough to need you to keep nagging." ”
With a feeling of helplessness, I returned to the rented room in the SAR and lay down on the sofa. The holiday is not over yet, and the slightest movement of the left hand can still feel pain. I turned on the TV and smoked a cigarette, which has been a bit too much lately, but I can always feel a little calm in the clouds, and I ignited the lighter.
The phone suddenly vibrate, and I picked it up to see that it was sent by Dong Jian, "In the Special Zone or at home?" ”
"Special Zone." I replied briefly.
"Is there an arrangement for the evening?"
"Nope."
"Have a meal, go back to the place."
"Okay." I'm drunk.
"Do you come by yourself or will I pick you up?"
"Do it yourself."
Then the mobile phone didn't respond, and most of my text and message contact with Dong Jian was in this straightforward way of communication, which seemed dry but simple and not tired.
The seemingly finished New Year has not yet completely passed, and the restaurants and shopping streets are much more popular than usual. As if the tranquility of the festival had suppressed passion, people began to reunite with their vengeance near the end of the holiday.
"The year is finally over, but it's always busy." Liu Lian hung his head and whispered. She was arranged to continue Li Xiaoai's security work with Dong Jian, and the original long vacation was ruthlessly shredded into such a fragmented rest as it is now.
"Why don't you wait and sit in my shop after dinner?" I'm never too busy, and the busier I am, the better my business. Luo Qian grinned, it seemed that business had been good recently.
"Come on, the case in the team is pressing, and I haven't been able to go back to spend more time with my wife and children during the Chinese New Year, and I still go to your nightclub? You young people go play. Zhang Dashan's voice was thick and he rejected Luo Qian's invitation.
"Last time, Zhuang Yan took the two girls to play with me, don't worry~ I must be there to satisfy you." Luo Dacang was all in the bottom of his sentence and squeezed his eyes at me.
Before I could say a word, Dong Jian threw a suspicious look at me, "Two girls? ”
"Just the time when Li Xiaoai and Lan Xue drank too much, they were almost hit by a box of glass marbles that fell upstairs." That accident was the beginning of almost all incidents, and I didn't like noise, and I really couldn't have a good impression of Luo Qian's nightclub.
"We were negligent in our work before, and we didn't follow the formal security work process until so many things happened." Dong Jian said in a deep voice.
"But we didn't sign a security agreement, and our work with Li Xiaoai was just lip service, and many normal operating procedures could only be done in moderation." Liu Lian wrinkled his eyebrows.
"I asked you not to meddle in Aikang's affairs, it's tricky enough, and you can't throw it out if you want to." Zhang Dashan said in a thick voice, "The case of Aikang Group is very complicated. ”
"How complicated is it?" I asked.
"I can't say anything until the case is solved, this is the rule, but I can tell you that this case is not only in the scope of criminal investigation and anti-narcotics, but even the national security has sent a commissioner. You are in a whirlpool and you don't know it. Zhang Dashan was shocked and slowly lit a cigarette, "I've been a police officer for so long, and this case is the most difficult case I've encountered." ”
"The most? Isn't it one of them? Luo Qian asked mockingly.
"The most!" Zhang Dashan didn't mean to joke at all, and said one word again.
Suddenly there was a thin layer of ice on the dinner table, and the atmosphere was so cold. For half a minute, no one spoke, some people drank tea and some people lit cigarettes, but I recalled in my mind all kinds of fragments of the past period of time. Although what happened to Li Xiaoai is thrilling, there are not many clues, not to mention the cases related to Ai Kang's past, I can know at most the tip of the iceberg, and Dong Jian and Liu Lian probably don't know more than me. The relationship between the Aikang Group is complicated, and it can be seen from the people who attended Li Shukang's funeral that the people he contacted in the past must not be so simple and simple. But what is this about Li Xiaoai, she doesn't seem to know much about Ai Kang's past.
"Recently, Li Xiaoai has been locking herself in her room and not going anywhere, our work is simple, but will she get sick after such a long time?" Liu Lian broke the thin ice with a non-caring word.
"Not going anywhere?" I asked seemingly innocently.
"Well, no relatives and friends are looking for her, and she doesn't go to others, she just sits in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room every day and looks out the window in a daze, saying that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, she will be upset if she looks at it all day long." Liu Lian seemed to sympathize with Li Xiaoai, "Girls will definitely be afraid of this kind of thing and dare not go out." ”
"As long as you're not a girl, you're not afraid." Dong Jian began to take the initiative to quarrel with Liu Lian again.
"I'm afraid, but can you handle it alone?" Liu Lian did not show weakness.
"I'm afraid you haven't said it sooner, I'll change someone." Dong Jian has always felt that it is dangerous and does not want Liu Lian to get involved.
"You don't want me to go out so much? I've been in charge of housekeeping in the company for almost two years. ”
Dong Jian and Liu Lian's hearts and minds have long known what is going on, but they just can't break it. Dong Jian has always protected Liu Lian in the swaddling clothes in the company, for fear of the wind and rain outside, and he also took her personally with him on occasional easy errands, but Liu Lian didn't like to hide in the greenhouse. In this security industry, where there are few girls, she is like a rose among thorns, and Dong Jian is protecting her with a delicacy that she can't detect at all.
"We've signed a security deal with Angela's agency, and the business with her from next month will be the company's biggest deal, so you can take charge of it then."
"What about this side?" Liu Lian asked with round eyes, she was referring to Li Xiaoai's care.
"I'll arrange it."
