Chapter Twenty-Five: A Stick to the Head
When I asked Lu Xiaohua this personal question, I scolded myself fiercely in my heart: scumbag! Absolute scumbag. If it weren't for the money of the fat man, I would definitely not have been able to do such a scumbag. But the problem is that I have collected all the money, and I have also asked the words, and if I give up halfway, won't I be a waste of scum?
Lu Xiaohua was still quite shy, she almost buried her head in the plate, and replied weakly: "I...... No boyfriend. "Whether she is lying or not treating Wei's third son Xiaojie as her boyfriend at all, I really can't tell.
Lu Xiaohua never talked much, and I often slipped away, always thinking about how to get her information, and the two of them chatted very smoothly. Maybe Lu Xiaohua regarded her date with me as a blind date, and occasionally mustered up the courage to ask me about my family and work. Of course, I can't answer that I am a private detective, and I was entrusted by her father to investigate the Wei brothers and checked her by the way, and because I was worried that I would meet Wei Laosi in the name of the community, and I was also afraid that Lu Xiaohua would come to the community to find me on a whim, so I simply put gold on my face, saying that I was a civil servant working in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and I was recently sent to help in the community near the Lu Da Fat Pond Meat Restaurant, and I was about to return to my original unit to prepare for the upcoming promotion.
After dinner, the two of us went to the cinema. "The Dragon and the Phoenix" is barely a bad movie in my appreciation, but the plot is indeed very old-fashioned, nothing more than a traditional love story such as Cinderella and the prince and the toad eating swan meat. I watched drowsy, but Lu Xiaohua was particularly involved in the play, crying and laughing, and there was some reluctant aftertaste. When she got out of the movie theater, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and Lu Xiaohua's family had already called her to urge her to go back. I asked her if she was going home or back to the hotel, and I drove her. She didn't mean to refuse at all, and told me the address of her house directly, but she didn't expect it to be quite far from the altar meat restaurant.
Along the way, she got to know me a lot, and she talked more than just now, and kept talking about the plot in the movie just now. But I was even more troubled, how to coax her to talk about the things I wanted to ask?
There were not many cars at night, and it took less than twenty minutes to drive outside the gate of the community where Lu Xiaohua lived. The roads in the residential areas are dark and narrow, and cars can't get in. I walked home with Lu Xiaohua, and was thinking about whether I should book the time and place of my next date today and wait for the opportunity to fight again, when a black shadow suddenly popped out from the flower bed on the side of the road, and without saying a word, I hit my head with a stick.
The stick was so strong that I was almost on the head, and after hitting the top of my head, it slid down my brains and shoulders, and I only felt that my ears were rubbed hotly. My first reaction was to run into the gangster who robbed the road, and I reached out and pushed Lu Xiaohua outward, turned my head and went to find the attacker. Before he could see what the other party was looking like, he had already picked off his second stick.
I thought that detectives should be a job that could be done, but it wasn't. Although I usually do physical training and occasionally boxing, it is to improve my physical fitness so that I can track my target for a long time in all kinds of harsh environments. We don't have the power to catch thieves, and we are guilty of committing crimes, so if a private investigator has a conflict with the person or the target being investigated, it can only be counted as a failure. What's worse is that in most cases, if we are beaten, we have to suffer dumb losses, and we dare not report the crime, and we are even afraid that others will report the crime - who makes us have no legal status? As a result, practicing the ability to escape is far more practical than martial arts.
