Chapter 5: The Bartender
Facing this environment for the first time, Mo Yufei was very nervous, she followed behind Lu Ke, and she was at a loss for a while.
"Team Lu, where do we start investigating?"
Mo Yufei raised her voice, but was quickly swallowed up by the music.
Lu Ke didn't hear her say, but suddenly grabbed her wrist, walked through the crowd, and led her to the bar.
The Ministry of Public Security prohibits police officers from drinking alcohol while on the job, and Lu Ke himself does not drink, but he is obviously very familiar with the environment in the bar.
Mo Yufei looked at her in a daze, and thought to herself: "It seems that as a police officer, there are still many things I need to learn and understand." ”
Lu Ke ordered a low-alcohol cocktail and ordered a cup of iced tea for Mo Yufei.
This time, Mo Yufei directly pointed into Lu Ke's ear and shouted loudly: "Team Lu, what should I do next?!" ”
Lu Ke knew that in this environment, no matter how much he shouted at the top of his voice, it would be useless, so he just lip back: "Wait." ”
The bartender at the bar is a young girl with heavy makeup, linen hair tied in a high ponytail, and a sexy and stylish crop top with a standard smirk.
The girl pushed the cocktail in front of Lu Ke and asked with a smile, "With a sister?" ”
Lu Ke smiled and pointed to Mo Yufei beside him: "My sister, I just graduated, take her out to see the world." ”
"Bring my sister to see the world, and give her iced tea? Even if it's Long Island black tea! The girl poured iced tea into an empty glass again, and said with a smile: "The price of this cup can buy a box outside." ”
"No, parents won't let me." Lu Ke picked up the cocktail and drank it all: "Another drink." ”
The girl pushed the iced tea in front of Mo Yufei: "Little sister, don't be nervous, the bar is not so dirty, it's fun, I wish you a good time." ”
After saying that, she turned around and went to make a cocktail for Lu Ke again.
When the girl turned around, Lu Ke raised an eyebrow at her: "What do you call it?" ”
"Just call me Jiaojiao."
The girl pushed a new cocktail in front of Lu Ke and winked back.
"Jiaojiao...... Then you should go to work in a bar called 'Golden House'. Lu Ke quipped.
Jiaojiao didn't react for a while, just looked at Lu Ke and smiled.
"Because the golden house is hidden!"
This sounded a cold joke, but it made Jiaojiao laugh non-stop.
Mo Yufei on the side held the iced black tea in both hands and took a sip. She first looked at the men and women dancing on the dance floor in the distance, and then looked at Lu Ke and Jiaojiao, who were teasing and laughing at each other around her, and felt a little lost.
The reason for her loss is that she recognizes her own shortcomings.
As a criminal policeman, disguise reconnaissance is a compulsory course, and in terms of Lu Ke's current appearance, he has completely integrated into the atmosphere of the bar, and it is not abrupt at all.
In other words, he doesn't look like a policeman at all.
Although I majored in the Department of Investigation and ranked among the best in all my grades, I found that I had a lot of shortcomings after I really came to the front-line work.
If you really let yourself go to the bar alone to investigate today, you will definitely not find out anything.
Lu Ke chatted with Jiaojiao for a few words, and suddenly asked, "How long have you been working here?" ”
"It's been a couple of years, I've been running in various bars, and I've been in this place for a long time." Jiaojiao said, naturally with a high ponytail, and a smile showed charm.
"I didn't find a boyfriend." Lu Ke asked casually as he drank the cocktail in his glass.
This time he didn't drink it all, but took a sip after sip.
Jiaojiao smiled bitterly, and soon her expression returned to natural: "Blow." ”
"How?"
"Scum."
Jiaojiao spread her hands, revealing her heart to strangers without intention.
"It's okay, look for it again." Lu Ke said lightly.
Jiaojiao didn't answer, and her body writhed to the rhythm of the music, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Do you have any impression of the people in the bar?" Lu Ke slowly stepped into the topic and asked tentatively.
"What do you think?"
"I just want to know if it's because I'm here for the first time that you're so welcoming to me, or if it's for everyone." Lu Ke's eyes were a little fluttering, one landing on the dance floor, the other landing on the door.
"I'm only doing this to handsome guys, especially young handsome guys like you." Jiaojiao put away Lu Ke's empty wine glass, ready to refill him.
Lu Ke put his palm on the wine glass, shook his head, and finally stared at her, and said seriously: "Ask you about someone." ”
"Inquire about whom?"
Jiaojiao leaned out and got closer to Lu Ke, and a strong smell of perfume wafted into Lu Ke's nose.
Lu Ke took out a photo of Ding Fanming from his jacket pocket and put it on the bar, and pushed it to Jiaojiao like a wine: "Do you know this person?" ”
Jiaojiao smiled and picked up the photo, her eyes just fell on the photo, her body was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously said: "You ......"
Lu Ke noticed that something was wrong with Jiaojiao's expression, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know him?!" ”
Jiaojiao's face was no longer as relaxed and natural as it had just been, but became extremely solemn: "Are you ...... What for? ”
"Police."
Lu Ke was expressionless, took out the documents from his pocket and showed them to her, and then quickly put them back.
Jiaojiao smiled bitterly, and very naturally took out a pack of female cigarettes from her pocket, lit one, and said lightly: "He is that scumbag." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mo Yufei on the side was stunned suddenly, slowly put down the glass in his hand, and looked at Lu Ke in a daze.
She never expected that such an important clue would be obtained in this way.
"When was the last time you saw him?" Lu Ke continued to ask.
Jiaojiao spit out an eye circle, and said very easily: "Last night." ”
"Then what happened last night...... Lu Ke didn't finish his words, just looked at her seriously.
Jiaojiao nodded to Lu Ke very naturally: "I know, he was killed." ”
Lu Ke and Mo Yufei glanced at each other, and while they were shocked, their eyes fell on Jiaojiao's face.
Jiaojiao sat on the chair and flicked the cigarette ash in a chic manner: "Just what happened in the alley next door, I will know it as soon as I die." ”
Lu Ke smiled: "It seems that he is dead, but you are a little happy." ”
Jiaojiao also smiled: "Of course, the scum is dead, a happy event, I'm ready to buy some firecrackers to celebrate." ”
Lu Ke stared at her face: "Do you hate him so much?" ”
Jiaojiao took a deep breath and didn't answer Lu Ke's question for the time being, just smoking a cigarette by herself.
Soon, she dropped the cigarette butt on the ground and smiled bitterly.
It seems that Jiaojiao is indescribable about Ding Fanming's affairs.
However, Lu Ke and Mo Yufei have time, and they naturally will not let go in the face of such an important clue.
Jiaojiao was silent for about two minutes, and finally spoke: "Hmph, the wicked have their own ...... heaven"
