Chapter 41: I Bet I Lose!
――――――――
The central city is the most prosperous area, even in the middle of the night, the busyness is still unabated.
In the office building where Qiu Wen's detective agency is located, most of the offices are still lit up in the middle of the night. It seems to be all in the rhythm of overtime
"Stella, give me the file of tomorrow's case and bring it up!"
"Yes, sir!"
Hanging up the phone, Qiu Wen continued to focus on the document. What are you about to write? Suddenly, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes when he held the pen again, and then he returned to calm and continued to sort out the text. Only a drop of water flowed from the pen, accompanied by a wisp of white smoke
Is there something wrong with the pen?
If you look closely, it turned out to be a layer of ice on the pen, and this phenomenon happened when Qiu Wen touched the pen with his sweaty hand. But how can a fountain pen freeze?
Look at the temperature of the air conditioner in the house at 26 °C, a very normal temperature, is the air conditioner broken? Qiu Wen doesn't think so!
At this time, Stella came to Qiu Wen's door with the file, first knocked on the door, and then got permission. Stella walked in, but the oncoming cold made her shiver: why is it so cold?
Look at the air conditioner in the house: 26°C, is it normal? Could it be that the air conditioner is broken!
Seeing Qiu Wen sitting there quietly as usual reviewing the text, Stella didn't dare to say anything?
Gently walked up to Qiu Wen's side: "Sir, this is the file you want!" ”
Qiu Wen replied: "Put it there!" ”
"Yes! Mr! Stella looked up at the air conditioner again. Looking at Qiu Wen's thin shirt, it may really be that the air conditioner is broken. After a while, I have to quickly call Master to come over and fix the air conditioner. But before
Stella looked at Qiu Wen's coat hanging on the hanger, and was about to walk over. But just lift your feet.
Qiu Wen said: "Don't take it!" In a moment, the air conditioner should be ready! ”
It's time for a while?
Just before Stella understood what Qiu Wen meant by this? Qiu Wen actually added another sentence: "Stella, don't work overtime today." Go back early! ”
"What? But sir, there is an important case to be dealt with tomorrow! Stella reminded.
But Qiu Wen looked at her with a smile and told her: "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”
Stella bit her lip and seemed to sense something. Then he nodded, "Yes, sir." ”
Then when he turned around, Qiu Wen thought of something. Again, he added: "That's right! Tell a few other colleagues who are working overtime, tonight is a holiday! Wages are paid as usual, at three times. Tell them all to go home quickly! ”
At this moment, Stella's worry seemed to be right. She looked around warily. Nothing? so
She looked at Qiu Wen with a little uneasiness: "Sir"
Qiu Wen still smiled: "Go back and rest early!" Maybe I'll wake up early tomorrow. Breakfast will also be prepared for you. It's too late, but it's going to be cold! ”
Breakfast tomorrow morning
Stella nodded, she seemed to understand something?
Since the gentleman said that tomorrow's case will not be delayed, it means that he will be fine tomorrow. So the so-called breakfast, being able to find time to make breakfast means that this matter is not too difficult for Qiu Wen to deal with. Although it is not clear what Qiu Wen felt? But what Estella knows about Qiu Wen: he is a person who can't beat a cane!
Stella nodded, "Got it, sir." ”
After praying for Qiu Wen in his heart, he immediately closed the door of Qiu Wen's office. It wasn't until all the lights outside were turned off that Qiu Wen sat up from the table. I walked to the sofa in the office that was specially used to sit for receptions, and looked out the window. Whispered: "Friend, everyone else is gone." I thought you could come out and sit too! ”
The figure in the darkness didn't hesitate much, and the next moment Qiu Wen finished speaking, he slowly appeared. There are not many surprises, usually when a person like this appears on the stage, he is dressed in black, from top to bottom, it is really completely black!
It's just that this person seems to be a little different from others.
He wore a white mask, the very white kind, as if he had been painted with white paint countless times. There are only two pairs of eyes left to look at all the qiqi outside, and the mouth and nose carvings on the mask are also very realistic, but Qiu Wen doesn't believe that the appearance on the mask is the appearance of himself under the mask.
After all, how the mask resembles himself, that's just a likeness
The man came with a mask, Qiu Wen stretched out his hand and signaled, the two sat on the sofa with each other's eyes, and the man spoke first: "I didn't expect Detective Qiu to care about his subordinates." Will you also prepare breakfast? ”
Qiu Wen smiled: "It's just a move that attracts people's hearts!" ”
Then he asked, "Tea?" Or drinking? ”
The masked man said, "I like to drink tea!" Preferably herbal tea! ”
Qiu Wenyan said: "Oh! It seems that you are a person who likes to calm yourself! ”
The masked man's eyes looked at the cabinet in Qiu Wen's room, where there was a bottle of red wine of unknown age, and then said, "I don't think Detective Qiu is a person who likes to drink!" Otherwise, the red wine on your cabinet will not have fallen into a layer of dust. ”
Qiu Wen smiled: "It's easy to make mistakes when you're drunk. So, like you, I like to drink tea. ”
"Tea is good!"
"Tea is good!"
The masked man brought the tea to the tip of his mask's nose, where there were two small holes, enough for the fragrance of tea to waft into his nose.
Sniffing Qiu Wen's tea, the masked man said, "The tea is very ordinary!" ”
"Then do you think that when drinking tea, is tea tea important, or water important? Qiu Wen asked.
"It's all important!" The masked man said.
Qiu Wen smiled: "Wrong! It doesn't matter! ”
"So what does Detective Qiu think is the most important?" The masked man asked.
"The people who drink tea are the most important!" Qiu Wen put the tea to his mouth and took a sip: "So a good pot of tea is not tea." It's not tea, it's people! See who soaked it? Who are you drinking with? That's all that matters! ”
A voice of doubt came from under the mask: "Then what does Detective Qiu think of the tea now?" ”
"It's very ordinary!" Qiu Wen said with a smile.
There was also a burst of laughter from under the mask.
"So how can you make this tea taste better?" The masked man asked.
Qiu Wen said: "Then it will have to wait until you take the mask!" ”
"I can't take the mask for the time being, but I can sue you for who I am!" The masked man laughed, "Have you ever heard of little impermanence! ”
"Illusion makes silence. The gods of a hundred miles are destroyed. Qiu Wendao.
"It seems that Detective Qiu is more than just a detective!" The masked man laughed.
Qiu Wenyan said: "Will it be simple to let Xiao Wuchang come to find someone in person? ”
"Of course it's not easy!"
"You and I are not simple people, so let's have something special!" Qiu Wen asked straight to the point: "I don't know Your Excellency Little Impermanence, what is the matter with my detective office?" It's not going to be for me to sue you, is it? ”
"Then if it's a lawsuit, are you sure you can win?" Little Impermanence asked.
"Nope!" Qiu Wen said: "Even the person you have to deal with in a lawsuit, I'm afraid I don't have the confidence to be able to deal with it!" ”
Xiao Wuchang said: "I came here to invite Detective Qiu Wen to go to a place with me!" I don't know."
Qiu Wen got up. Removing the coat from the hanger: "Since I have transferred everyone away, I have decided to do as you tell me!" Besides, you have to invite someone for your little impermanence. Does anyone dare not give face? ”
"Bright. Detective Qiu, please! Xiao Wuchang got up, clapped his hands twice, and then all the lights in the entire building turned on. Then he made a gesture of invitation to Qiu Wen
The entrance of the Grand Luxury Hotel.
Two men stood in the doorway in place of the man who had parked the car. They are all waiting for little impermanence. When he saw his car come back, he called the man who parked the car and asked him to open his mouth.
"Detective Qiu, please!" Xiao Wuchang motioned for one of the young men to take Qiu Wen up first.
Then, the other man with a sad face approached Xiao Wuchang and whispered, "If you bring this guy here, aren't you afraid that he will report to Lin Fei?" ”
"He won't!" Xiao Wuchang smiled.
The man said sharply: "Don't forget, he is the name written on the last line of the list of seniors, which means that he has an extraordinary relationship with Lin Fei!" ”
"That's why. He won't! ”
10th floor of a luxury hotel.
Inside the luxurious presidential suite where Xiao Impermanence lives.
An auto-shuffle table with mahjong already set up in front of four people.
Qiu Wen saw such a scene. looked at Xiao Wuchang, who was still wearing a mask: "Could it be that Your Excellency invited me over to play mahjong?" ”
Little Impermanence nodded.
"Detective Qiu, please!"
The four of them sat down: "Just play mahjong as if it were your own family!" ”
The position is centered on Xiao Impermanence, and it is Qiu Wen who is close to the right. On the left and opposite are the two young men.
"I forgot to introduce!" Xiao Wuchang first introduced Qiu Wen to the one sitting opposite him: "This is Hei Che, known as the black-hearted judge in the rivers and lakes." ”
Qiu Wen nodded and said with a smile: "Judge's pen, black heart book." It turned out to be Brother Black Judge, and I have long heard that Brother Black Judge's pen took people's lives in just a moment, and I have admired it for a long time! ”
Xiao Wuchang then pointed to the youngest on the left: "This is Situ Nanqing." ”
Qiu Wen looked at Situ Nanqing, paused, and thought for a moment: "Drinking blood to exorcise evil spirits? ”
"So you know!" Situ Nanqing sneered.
"Heard, heard!" Qiu Wen smiled and said in his heart: Although this Situ Nanqing is a new character in the rivers and lakes compared to the black-hearted judge. But compared to the black-hearted judge, the methods are much more vicious
Seeing the rhythm of the two who seemed to know each other, Xiao Wuchang asked curiously, "Could it be that the two of you know each other?" ”
"It's just a divine friend!" Qiu Wen looked at Situ Nanqing and smiled
"Good! Ask Detective Qiu to come over today, nothing else, just three are missing one, and I want to find a powerful person to come over and make up the number. I wonder if Detective Qiu is willing to do us a favor? Xiao Impermanence said.
Qiu Wen sneered: "It's all here, will you still let me go lightly?" Roll the dice! ”
"Refreshing!" Xiao Wuchang gestured, and Situ Nanqing took out the dice.
It's made of diamonds! Even Situ Nanqing, who was on the dice, was stunned for a moment.
"This mahjong with dice is the same as drinking tea, the guests are low, naturally a cup of coarse tea. The guests are noble, and they should use the most expensive tea! Xiao Impermanence said.
"Little Impermanence is laughing!" Qiu Wen smiled: "For the sake of adults who look up to me so much, I just don't know if I can make a request!" ”
The black-hearted judge complained in a low voice: "Even such valuable dice have been taken out for you to use, what else do you want?" ”
"My request is so simple!" Qiu Wen didn't even look at the black-hearted judge: "I have nothing else, I just lose every gamble." So if you bet on yourself to win, I'll bet on myself to lose! ”
"Bet on yourself to lose?" Situ Nanqing stared at Xiao Wuchang suspiciously: "How should I bet on this?" ”
"How can you bet on yourself to lose?" The black-hearted judge glanced at Qiu Wen strangely.
Xiao Wuchang closed his eyes, thought for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly smiled and said, "Detective Qiu is really different from ordinary people. Then let's not bet to win tonight, we will bet to lose! ”
"That couldn't be better!" Qiu Wen smiled. (To be continued......)
