On the light gray marble table sat a bottle of Penfolds 407, which was brought by Dake.

Dake's cousin runs an electronic component factory in LG District. This cousin has insomnia and relies on drinking red wine every night to help her sleep. This bottle of Penfolds was taken by Dake from his cousin.

This is the first time Dake has brought wine, and in the past, the two of them had dinners and brought wine to Zhong Xian.

It's been a habit for a long time - drinking red wine when the two of them get together. The initial reason was that Zhong Xian found that his mind had become chaotic, and he attributed it to drinking too much liquor and foreign liquor with his clients. The high degree of alcohol damaged his brain and made him forgetful. And it is said that red wine can nourish people.

"You're finally human." Zhong Xian's gaze went back and forth between Penfolds and the triumphant Dake, then took the corkscrew from the drawer of the wine cabinet and handed it to Dake. "A friend sent a case of red wine from Russia. Would you like to try it first? ”

"Russian wine is not very famous." Dake expertly fills the corkscrew onto the top of Penfolds' bottle. "Drink my bottle."

"Ping~" There was a crisp sound of breaking something from the mobile phone on the table, which was the prompt tone of a text message. Zhong Xian picked up his phone and sighed softly: "I haven't replied to that police officer yet." ”

"Is that Sir sending you a WeChat message?" Dake hurriedly leaned over to look at Zhong Xian's mobile phone, a pair of small eyes with single eyelids sparkling.

"Advertising." Zhong Sine put the phone back on the table.

"What are you hesitating about? Aren't you curious? ”

Zhong Xian said helplessly: "You are an idiot. What good can be done when you are invited by a police officer? If you're curious, why don't you go for me? ”

"If he's looking for me, I'm sure I'll agree. You take me with you, and I'll be happy to accompany you. ”

"Come on. I was thinking about how to refuse, but I was afraid that I would look weak. What are we going to eat in a moment? ”

"Northeast cuisine." Dake said that although he is a JS person, he has a preference for Northeast cuisine. "It's okay if you really want to say no. Xiao Zhu is just missing, not dead. What's the big deal. ”

"Forget about Northeast cuisine." Zhong Xian objected, he thought about Dake's taste, "There is a Huashenlong two streets away. ”

"I have a bad stomach these days and can't eat hot pot." Dake rubbed his stomach and said, "Drink first, and then talk about it later, I'm not hungry yet." Do you think Xiao Zhu is really dead? With his character, he loves to brag and join in the fun, but within half a year, he disappeared without a trace, you can tell me. Isn't there a high chance of death? ”

Zhong Xian glanced at Dake: "Do you know Xiao Zhu very well?" Do you want me to introduce you to the Sir surnamed Deng, and you will accompany him to handle the case? Reason as much as you like. ”

"Okay." Dake smiled happily as he turned the corkscrew, easily uncorked the Penfolds bottle, and poured the wine into the decanter. The crimson liquid poured into the narrow-mouthed, wide-bellied glassware and reflected it on the light gray marble table—a scene that the bell strings thought was extremely beautiful.

"Strange, Sir Deng hasn't been looking for you?" Zhong Xian said, staring at the decanter.

"You can't take me seriously, do you?" Dake was quite dissatisfied. Officer Deng did not visit him, which made him feel belittled. "I dare say that I know much more about Xiao Zhu than you do."

"Xiao Zhu will have some secrets." Zhong Xin pondered.

"You really don't know him. Although he seems to have no ability, he has been thinking crookedly, and he, when he was in the company, thought about how to find opportunities to make private orders every day. ”

"Oh? Really? Have you ever succeeded? Zhong Xian disagreed. Xiao Zhu loves to brag, everyone knows it. He boasted that he had done big projects before, but no one of his colleagues believed him.

"Don't underestimate him." Dake raised the corners of his mouth and said mysteriously. "Although I don't believe it, who would want to cooperate with him if he looks like a traitor. But it's true, he really did it. ”

Zhong Xian smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't believe it at all.

"I have a friend who has seen the evidence." Dake said,

"What evidence."

"There is a payment history for the project. The beneficiary is Xiao Zhu. ”

"Really?" The bell strings were calm. He still couldn't believe it.

"You can't go wrong. This guy has no ability and is not right, could it be that he accidentally fell into a pit while walking and was collected by the sky? Hehe, ha. Dake smiled and took out two goblets from the sterilization cabinet and poured a small portion of wine from the decanter into the two glasses. He took one of the cups and handed it to the bellstrings.

"I'm in a hurry, I haven't woken up yet." Zhong Xian took the cup and shook the liquid inside, and immediately a layer of reddish silk hung on the wall of the cup. "Not bad."

"Uh-huh. Do you really have to wait 45 minutes? I can't wait. What do you pay attention to in poverty?! Dake shouted, "Come on, do one first." For your freedom and mine, for a new beginning. "Drink it all.

Zhong Xian was unable to refuse Officer Deng in the end.

In the afternoon of the next day, he accompanied Officer Deng to take the subway to Baishizhou, and in the customer rest area of PN Home Plaza, he met European Airlines that was waiting for them.

Zhong Xian remembers the first time he met European Airlines. That was three years ago, when he first joined the company.

European Airlines has a very high appearance, not inferior to movie stars, a bit like a mixture of Lin Zhiying and Gu Juji. Although he is not tall, only a little over 170, and he is a little thin, he is the kind of feminine boy who has become popular in recent years and pleases women.

European Airlines has an easy-going and enthusiastic personality. It made a very good first impression on the bell strings. However, it didn't take long for Zhong Xian to find out that his colleagues were talking about European Airlines behind his back.

European Airlines got married in his early twenties, and his wife was very worried about him because of his handsomeness, and often called to check his post. European Airlines is also not outstanding in terms of work, almost no achievements, just by virtue of its appearance and likability, it has been mixed in the company. It is said that he secretly interacted with some women older than him, and those women would give him things, and the apple 6P he used was given by a certain woman.

Zhong Xian did not tell Officer Deng about these situations. I think it's just some gossip. And Officer Deng only came to investigate Xiao Zhu.

European Airlines sits behind a long wooden table, and not far away is the coffee table exhibition area where special prices are being offered.

"Hi, Mr. Zhong." European Airlines greeted Zhong Xian first, and he smiled.

They hadn't seen each other for at least half a year, and Zhong Xian noticed that the European Airlines was still wearing the blue and white striped T-shirt from two years ago, and the natural beauty could not offset the embarrassment of the gray face. It can be seen that life is not satisfactory.

"This is Sir Deng." Zhong Xian introduced to European Airlines. "You really talk that kind of nonsense to the police? I don't care about my colleagues but me? ”

European Airlines took the initiative to shake hands with Officer Deng and beckoned them to sit down. Then he said, "Of course I don't care about Xiao Zhu's affairs. He's the kind of person who retribution if something happens, and I'm not afraid to say that in front of the police. ”

Zhong Xian shook his head, no matter what his colleagues said, he actually didn't dislike European Airlines, but he also knew that this person should not be deeply acquainted. European Airlines could have had a good life, but it was made a joke by itself.

"Zhong, you helped me, you took me to do the project. I remember. But I helped you too, you remember? We have a friendship, so ...... But Sir Deng, when you called me, my wife and I were arguing...... Actually, I was just joking with you, but I didn't expect you to actually find the clock. How could I not be willing to cooperate? ”

Officer Deng said mildly at this time: "This is not a formal investigation, thank you for your willingness to cooperate." Feel free to chat. ”

European Airlines looked at Officer Deng and said, "I didn't expect Sir Deng to be so young and handsome, didn't he?" Bell? If you're wearing a police uniform, you'll be excited! I have a friend who is an assistant police officer, and we sang together the other day......"

Officer Deng looked at the way European Airlines spoke without saying a word,

Eucalyptically, it became cautious, "Uh...... Deng S, you still ask. ”

"Where are you from GD?" Officer Deng said.

European Airlines hesitated: "Meizhou." Belch...... My situation doesn't matter. ”

"You speak Mandarin very well, you don't have a hometown accent, have you been in Shenzhen for a long time?"

"Graduation is coming. My first job was in Mr. Li's company, and I dedicated my most precious time to the company......" This kind of words, Zhong Xian has heard European Airlines say many times, most of them in front of Mr. Li, but today I heard this full of resentment. "When I left school like a blank sheet of paper and joined the society, when I was still a child who didn't understand the world, the first boss I met was Mr. Li, and I ......"

Zhong Xian interrupted European Airlines: "That's a lot of. Tell Deng Sir something useful. For example, when was the last time you saw Xiao Zhu? ”

"That's the day he left his job." European Airlines said to Zhong Xian. "Mr. Li has long wanted to fire him. You know this. ”

"I don't know. Mr. Li hasn't always liked Xiao Zhu. ”

"What do you like, Xiao Zhu will pat on the back, just on the surface."

Officer Deng asked, "You mean, he was fired?" ”

"yes."

Zhong Xian was puzzled: "No. ”

European Airlines snorted from his nose: "You just don't know." Li always fired him and didn't announce it to save face for him, do you think his kind of person would take the initiative to resign? ”

"Since it wasn't announced, how do you know?" Zhong Xian said.

"Oh, you don't know Mr. Li, I do. You don't know Xiao Zhu either. ”

Officer Deng asked, "What is the specific date of his resignation?" ”

"The specific date, it seems to be October ......" European Airlines looked at Officer Deng with some strange eyes: "This company has records." You will know it when you check the administrative office file. Didn't you go to the company to investigate? ”

Officer Deng nodded, indicating that he knew, but still insisted, "Can you remember the specific date?" ”

With a puzzled expression, he put on a look of trying to remember, but Zhong Xian knew that he was using other brains. "I can't remember. In the past, when colleagues left the company, they would have a dinner to say goodbye, symbolically...... But Xiao Zhu didn't have any ceremony. Suddenly gone. It's a suspicious point, it's kind of weird. ”

Zhong Xian didn't find it strange. "Not every one of them has to be sent off." He turned to Officer Deng and said, "Let's talk." I happen to want to buy a sofa in the near future, can I go shopping? He pointed in the direction of the special section.

Before Officer Deng nodded, European Airlines said, "Zhong, don't go, let's answer together, it will be more comprehensive." ”

Zhong Xian insisted: "Deng S has already asked me." Now it's up to you to hear what you have to say, I'm here to influence you. With that, he stood up and walked towards the furniture area.

"Mr. Zhong, help me order a drink." European Airlines said behind him. "I forgot to bring money when I went out."
