"Hello, Mr. Lin, I didn't expect to meet Your Excellency here, it's an honor!"

Xiao Tao took two steps forward, stretched out his right hand with a smile, shook hands with the sunny man with gold-wire glasses, and greeted each other politely.

A few minutes later, in a private room upstairs, three people sat two men and one woman, communicating with each other in Mandarin in a good atmosphere.

"I don't know if Mr. Xiao has any taboos, the dishes here are very good, I can recommend them for you!"

After Lin Tao watched Qiu Yuan order three dishes, he politely asked Xiao Tao's opinion.

"I'm just casual, there's nothing particularly taboo!"

Xiao Tao shook his head with a smile, he originally wanted to grab the opportunity to pay with Qiu Yuan, but it seems that this lunch should be invited by this person, so naturally there are not so many requirements.

"Hehe, then try the local food first, if it doesn't suit the taste, let's change to Chinese cuisine!"

Handing the menu in his hand to the waiter who came from the door, Lin Tao got up and picked up a white handkerchief, picked out a bottle of red wine in his hand, and poured it into the decanter.

"Well, this wine is good, it's better than at home!"

Qiu Kite doesn't like red wine much, but he has also drunk a lot, whether it is good or bad, he can guess it. Lin Tao smiled when he heard this, and also took a sip of the wine glass in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Haha, how can my wine be compared to the Xue family's winery, it's just stored for some years! If it weren't for the two distinguished guests, I would be reluctant to drink it to ordinary people, and now there is not much left! ”

Xiao Tao also took a sip, which was obviously very different from the red wine he drank in the hotel. However, he was not used to drinking, but the sweetness after the astringency made him can't help but take another sip, and he also closed his eyes and tasted it for a while, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"If Mr. Xiao likes it, I'll give you a bottle later!"

Perhaps seeing the enjoyment on Xiao Tao's face, Lin Tao smiled sideways and said.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin has a heart! However, Xiao has no special preference for wine, and I am afraid that he will live up to Mr. Lin's bad intentions. ”

Several local dishes have begun to be served on the table, and with a polite word to each other, they began to put on napkins, pick up the knives and forks at hand, and enjoy the Western-style lunch in front of them.

"Well, this steak is awesome, it's almost catching up with those chefs, it seems that you have really invested a lot of money, and you actually invited a chef of this level, how many stars?"

Qiu Yuan seemed to like the dishes in front of him very much, and after eating a few bites, he couldn't help but admire.

"Haha, I don't have that much face, but this time I was lucky, that senior came here to take a few days off because of the friendship of the elders. Let me be cheeky and invite me to stay here for a few days and teach me how to do the kitchen at will! ”

Lin Tao wiped the corners of his mouth with the napkin on his chest, looked at Qiu Yuan with a smile and said. When he mentioned the senior who had been invited, the smile on his face became a little thicker.

"It's really good, it's a top-notch master's craft!"

I rarely eat Western-style steak meals, but I've eaten them a few times, and the taste in my mouth can't be compared to the one in front of me. Xiao Tao ate half of it in a while, and after drinking a sip of red wine, he couldn't help but admire.

A lunch is a pleasure for the guests and the host, and the three of them have no language barriers, and they have met in China, but they don't talk much together. So this can be regarded as a great joy in life when you meet your old acquaintance in a foreign country.

An hour later, Lin Tao left early because of something, and Xiao Tao held a gift bag containing a bottle of red wine he had given him. But if Qiu Yuan hadn't spoken, I'm afraid he wouldn't have accepted it, after all, he really, didn't like to drink very much, especially not the feeling of being dizzy after being drunk.

"Where are you going next, do you want me to send you there!"

Both of them had drunk a bit, so they had no intention of driving. Qiu Yuan handed over the car keys to Lin Tao and asked him to find a driver to drive the car back, while she got into Lin Tao's car driven by the driver, and asked the latter where to go with a drunken face.

"It's okay, I can go over by myself, you go back to the hotel first!"

Xiao Tao shook his head, he only drank two glasses of red wine, and then he didn't drink any more. At this time, his mind is also sober, and calling a taxi to the destination is not difficult for him, and he can also be picked up by someone, whatever he wants.

"Okay, then I'll go back first!"

Because of the different directions, coupled with that kind of thing, it is inconvenient for Qiu Yuan to know too much, and there is also a reason to adjust the jet lag. So Xiao Tao nodded at Qiu Yuan, told the driver to be careful on the road, and then got into a taxi called by Lin Tao next to him.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Tao paid the fare, and after getting out of the car, he looked at the unfamiliar English names everywhere, recognized them, and walked towards the street in one of the directions.

"Huh? What's going on ahead? ”

As soon as he walked around the corner of a street, Xiao Tao saw several police cars and ambulances in front of him, as well as uniformed policemen, evacuating the crowd watching the excitement, and it seemed that something was wrong.

Picking up the phone, finding the name on a contact book, and looking at the contact information, Xiao Tao took out a calling card from his pocket and walked towards the phone booth next to him.

Xiao Tao, who walked out of the phone booth, walked around for a few minutes, and in the distance, from the direction of the police cars, a young man with an Asian face trotted over.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xiao?"

"Well, I'm Xiao Tao, what do you call Mr.?"

There were no other Asian faces here, and the man walked directly in front of Xiao Tao and asked. Xiao Tao nodded and replied in the same Chinese.

"Hehe, my surname is Zhang, just call me Xiao Zhang, Captain Yuan asked me to pick you up!"

Xiao Zhang's age is not very old, it is estimated that he is three or two years older than Xiao Tao at most, and he is in his early twenties. However, in front of Xiao Tao, he didn't dare to do anything to "bully the small", after all, in front of him, the famous "ghost detectives", that is, his top bosses, also respected his words very much.

Xiao Tao nodded, followed Xiao Zhang, and walked in the direction where the accident occurred. Before he could ask his doubts, Xiao Zhang began to talk about why there were police cars and ambulances here.

Half an hour earlier, there had been a murder here, and two suspects had been identified, armed with heavy firearms. Two people died at the scene, one of whom was a local police officer who was in charge of the custody of an important suspect. Another dead was a hostage, female, thirty-eight years old, native.

One of the two suspects was killed on the spot, and the other was a top criminal, who had escaped while the police rescue operation was underway after taking hostages, and is currently being pursued.

Yuan Wei was also cooperating with the police in the pursuit, and when he killed that suspect, he was able to contain the strong assistance of another top professional criminal. But unfortunately, there are no clues at present, and the professional criminal should have escaped.

In addition to the two bodies in the ambulance, there were several innocent injured citizens. There are locals, there are also foreign tourists who come here, and there are already embassies that are negotiating with the police.
