Chapter 10: The Waiter's Mouth of the "Scoundrel"

The "None" sign is lit with dazzling coloured lights, and the bar is clad in glass. Through the glass, you can see the men and women in the middle of the dance floor swaying to the melody of the music. Wang Shen and Xu Xiaolin pushed open the glass door and walked in. Xu Xiaolin had never been in a bar before, and was resistant to the dim lighting, roaring music, and swaying crowds of people. Although Wang Shen does not often go to bars, he has visited several times for official business. So for the environment of the bar, he is not as resistant as Xu Xiaolin. Wang Shen noticed Xu Xiaolin's strange appearance, turned to Xu Xiaolin and said with a smile: "It's too noisy here, why don't I send you home first?" ”

"No, the bar, I come a lot." Xu Xiaolin immediately put away the stiff expression on her face, smoothed her slightly frowning brows, and also gave Wang Shen a smile.

Wang Shen could only smile bitterly and shake his head, accepting Xu Xiaolin's stubbornness. The two of them continued to walk a few steps inside, and a waiter-like man came out. "Hello, are you two?" The waiter's face was full of courteous smiles.

Wang Shen nodded.

"Okay, I'll give you two a seat with fewer people, and whisper to make sure no one hears." The waiter's gaze wandered away from Xu Xiaolin a few times, then glanced at Wang Shen again, and then smiled maliciously.

Xu Xiaolin frowned again, and snorted clearly in her nose. It's just that the music in this bar is so loud that no one notices. Wang Shen and Xu Xiaolin followed the waiter, stepping on the swaying colored spots on the ground and walking to a booth in the corner.

"Look at the two of you, here's our wine list." The waiter opened the menu clipped under his arm and put it in front of Wang Shen.

Wang Shen glanced at the wine list and quickly closed it. "Do you have any recommendations for this place?" Wang Shen smiled at the waiter.

When the waiter heard this, the smile between his eyebrows and eyes became stronger, and his words became more attentive and intimate. "You're asking the right question, if you're light-hearted, these beers are good, with a high degree for men." The waiter opened the list as he spoke, his fingers twiping over the name of the wine.

Wang Shen glanced at the wine list, which was just some ordinary imported beer, but the price was several times that of the store. But Wang Shen didn't refute, just smiled and nodded.

"Of course, if you're a bit of a strong fan, you can try this vodka." The waiter moved his finger to the words "Absolut Vodka" again.

Wang Shen pointed to the wine list with his finger, "I want a group of this beer." ”

"Okay! And what about this beauty? The waiter turned to the side and turned his gaze to Xu Xiaolin again.

"She doesn't know how to drink, so I'll give her a non-alcoholic mojito." Wang Shen closed the wine list and handed it back to the waiter.

"Your boyfriend is so sweet." With that, the waiter took the menu and happily walked to the bar.

"He seems to have misunderstood something." Xu Xiaolin looked at the waiter's back and pouted. "How can you be a waiter with this kind of eyesight." Xu Xiaolin complained again angrily.

"Writer Xu, people may think that handsome guys and beauties should be a couple." Wang Shen laughed and made fun of Xu Xiaolin.

"Officer Wang, I didn't expect you to be a 'Sven scum'." Xu Xiaolin pretended to be angry and looked at Wang Shen. "But, Wang Shen, you are really generous, that wine is several times more expensive than in ordinary stores."

"Writer Xu, what do you think this place is? It's not a matter of course that alcohol is expensive in bars. And ......" Wang Shen leaned forward a little in the direction of Xu Xiaolin, and lowered the volume of his speech. "You can also see that this waiter is a bit stupid, and his mouth should not be solid. Maybe he'll be able to get the information we need if he earns some money for his drink? ”

"Why don't you just find someone? It's not that we don't know Zheng Wu's appearance, so we can find it ourselves. Xu Xiaolin said disappreciatively.

"Miss, if you look at the lights here, you can barely see a figure in the brightness. We really have to look for people one by one, maybe we haven't found Zheng Wu yet, and we've already been exposed. ”

"So, you'd like to get some useful information from the waiter. Oh! Maybe he'll be able to help us find it. Xu Xiaolin stared at Wang Shen for a while, and added: "Old scheming." ”

While Wang Shen and Xu Xiaolin were talking, the waiter had already walked up to them with a tray just now. The waiter placed two glasses, six bottles of beer and a glass of non-alcoholic mojito in front of Wang Shen and Xu Xiaolin respectively. "If you have any other orders, you can come back to me." The waiter smiled and prepared to turn away.

"Handsome guy, please wait a minute." Wang Shen stopped the waiter.

"Is there anything else?" The waiter turned around with a smile still on his face.

"Is it okay for me to ask you personally?" After Wang Shen said this, he saw that most of the smile on the waiter's face had disappeared, his eyes kept rolling in his sockets, and the tray in his hand was held in front of his chest.

"You're a police officer?" The waiter tilted his head and asked again in a tentative tone.

"Of course not." Wang Shen laughed and waved his hand. "It was just a friend who recommended us to come here and said he came often. But lately I can't find him, alas! Wang Shen sighed heavily. To tell you the truth, this friend still owes me money, so he came here to try his luck. ”

"I see, then, let me see what your friend looks like. However, we come and go every day, and I can't guarantee that I will know him. ”

"It's okay, you see it's him." Wang Shen took out his mobile phone and put the photo of Zheng Wu in the mobile phone in front of the waiter.

"Hey! Who do I think it is! It turned out to be a 'scoundrel'. The smile on the waiter's face instantly returned, and there seemed to be a little more interest in talking between his expressions, as well as his dislike for Zheng Wu.

Wang Shen and Xu Xiaolin glanced at each other. Wang Shen continued to ask, "Are you familiar with this person?" ”

"It's hard to talk about familiarity, but he's a regular customer in our store."

"I just heard you call him a 'scoundrel'?" Wang Shen repeated the waiter's words again in confusion.

"That's right! That's what everyone who knew him called. Brother, you're unlucky. He owes you money, and I guess he won't get it back, otherwise how can he be called a 'scoundrel'." The waiter grinned, shook his head, and looked at Wang Shen with the eyes of death sentence, full of sympathy.

"Not really. How can a scoundrel be like this? Wang Shen showed great disappointment, and at the same time pretended to be incredulous, staring at the waiter in front of him with wide eyes.

"Why not, he came to drink with us, and he always didn't take credit once. We've bombed a few times, but he's just a 'scoundrel', and he's not afraid to be scolded, and it will affect our business." Fortunately, he can settle most of the wine money, and our boss will turn a blind eye and don't bother with him. It's just that he came to our store to have a rule, pay the bill first and then serve the wine. ”

"It seems that the money I lent him is really hanging." Wang Shen frowned and sighed, and took a large sip of the beer at hand. "Still." Wang Shen raised his head to look at the waiter again, and his tone of voice became sincere and complaining. "I still want to try it with him. After all, he owes me a lot of money. So, can you please tell me when the handsome guy will come to our store? ”

"He? Isn't that there? The waiter pointed to the position of the bar with his finger. Wang Shen and Xu Xiaolin looked in the direction of the waiter's finger, and a burly figure stood in front of the bar. Beside this burly figure, there seemed to be a woman standing close to it.

"What is that woman?" Wang Shen pointed to the woman beside Zheng Wu.

"She, called 'Sang', is Zheng Wu's woman, a wine girl. We don't know why she's with that kind of man. No matter how bad you are, you can find a rich master to get some money. However, I heard that Zheng Wu also threw a lot of money at her. You know, that's what feelings are all about, and when you have money, feelings come. ”

"Oh? So where did Zheng Wu's money come from? Wang Shen asked suspiciously.

"I don't know. Ay? Maybe it was borrowed from you and then used on this woman. After the waiter finished speaking, he couldn't hold back, and laughed a few words. Okay, let's not talk to you two, I have to go to work. After speaking, the waiter took the tray and left Wang Shen and Xu Xiaolin's booth.

"What are you going to do next?" Xu Xiaolin's eyes were always fixed on the burly figure and asked.

"Go straight to him."

"What if he doesn't cooperate?"

"Then you can only forcibly take him back to the police station. He is indeed a serious suspect in this case, and I have reported this to my superiors early in the morning. ”

"The woman next to him might know something." Xu Xiaolin shifted her gaze a little more and projected it onto the woman.

"Then invite her to cooperate with the investigation." Wang Shen took a sip of the beer at hand and said. "However, if they resist and escape, I will arrest Zheng Wu, and you will watch from the side."

"It's okay, the woman left it to me." Xu Xiaolin picked up the mojito in her hand and took a big sip comfortably. "Don't forget, we used to learn karate together."

Wang Shen looked at Xu Xiaolin, shrugged his shoulders, sighed helplessly, and then drained the remaining beer in the cup in one gulp. Wang Shen slowed down for a few seconds, then got up from the sofa and walked in the direction of Zheng Wu. Wang Shen walked behind Zheng Wu. Zheng Wu didn't find out about Wang Shen's existence, and only cared about flirting with the women around him. Wang Shen patted Zheng Wu's shoulder and shouted, "Zheng Wu." ”
