This veterans' club, called No Regrets Veteran, is in the west of Jing'an City.

The western part of Jing'an is a suburb compared to the bustling city center, where the population is relatively sparse and the scenery is beautiful, and compared to the fast-paced life of contemporary society, it can be said that it is a "paradise".

After staying in Lehua County for three days, I returned to Jing'an City again, and I had a strange feeling.

According to the address, Lu Ke drove around and finally saw the club's sign at the end of the street behind an old-fashioned neighborhood, behind a garbage can.

Contrary to what you might expect, this veterans' club is not a big store, and it looks like an illegal building on the corner of the street.

As I approached, there was a big poster on the cracked concrete wall, saying that the club would hold a live-action CS event next month.

"I really can't imagine that there will be nearly a hundred members for such a façade." Mo Yufei looked at the door in front of him and seemed a little disappointed.

"Clubs like this are all private companies, and membership is free, and they usually don't have any income at all, and they all make money by holding some activities, so it's good to have such a face, anyway, everyone has their own things to do, and no one usually comes."

After Lu Ke finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the door, and the two walked up the concrete steps.

Pushing open the door, the light inside was a little dim, and there were some granular dust floating in the air.

Continuing inside, the space is getting bigger and bigger, not as shabby as it looks from the outside, a huge event field with several table tennis tables in it, a badminton net next to it, and a basketball court in the innermost.

It's just that there is no one here.

Lu Ke stretched out his hand and wiped it lightly on the wooden table in the corner, there was no dust, indicating that someone still cleaned it often.

"Anyone?"

Mo Yufei looked around and shouted loudly.

Echoes ringed in my ears, making the event even more empty.

The echo disappeared, and no one answered for a long time.

"Who?"

Suddenly, a somewhat ethereal voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them, startling both of them.

Turning around, an old man appeared behind the two of them at some point.

The room was so quiet that the two of them didn't hear anything at all.

The old man's face was like white paper, his body was skinny and skinny, and he looked like a paper man.

"Uncle, are you the person in charge here?" Mo Yufei swallowed hard and asked.

The old man looked at the two of them in a daze, and asked slowly, "Who are you?" ”

"Police."

Lu Ke directly showed his ID and asked rhetorically, "Where is your boss?" ”

The old man didn't speak, but calmly stretched out his hand and pointed to a door in the corner behind the two of them, and the whole movement was like a lifeless marionette.

Mo Yufei frowned, turned her head to look at the corner, and didn't see any doors, only a big poster.

Just as he was about to ask questions, the old man had already turned around and left.

"What a weird old man." Mo Yufei muttered.

Looking at Lu Ke again, he had already walked in the direction of the old man's finger.

There is indeed a gate there, but with a huge poster, the gate and the wall are cleverly integrated.

Push the door and walk in, it is a small corridor of about three meters, and there is a door inside.

The door was hidden, and Lu Ke cautiously pushed open the door and glanced inside.

It was a small office, and a man was sleeping soundly on his desk.

Lu Ke opened the door to the maximum and knocked lightly.

With a slight sound, the sleeping man immediately woke up, and his hand subconsciously touched his waist, and then he came back to his senses.

"Are you the owner of this club?" Lu Ke asked in a low voice.

Only then did the man see the two of them clearly, his tense nerves slowly relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

But in the face of two strangers, he was still very vigilant and asked, "......Who are the two of you?"

"Policeman, there's something I want to know from you." Lu Ke showed his ID again and walked into the room.

The man was stunned for a moment, but he also warmly beckoned the two to sit down, reached out and picked up the cigarette on the table, and motioned to Lu Ke.

After Lu Ke waved his hand and refused, he and Mo Yufei sat on the reception sofa.

"You're not Li Jiansheng, are you?"

Lu Ke looked at him and suddenly asked.

According to the registration information of this club, the owner of the club is called Li Jiansheng, judging by the photos, the man in front of him is obviously not.

The man took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it, and said with a smile: "Li Jiansheng is the big boss, I am the second boss, that is, the partner, my name is Lan Zhengqing." ”

"Judging from the knee-jerk actions just now, you're also a veteran, right?" Lu Ke looked him up and down and asked lightly.

Lan Zhengqing smiled and quipped: "I was discharged from the army the year before last, alas, this is a habit developed in the army, and I still can't change it after so many years." In the past, when we were training in the army, the squad leader always secretly took away our guns while we were sleeping, because I was criticized a lot for this incident. ”

Lan Zhengqing flicked the cigarette ash and asked tentatively: "You are here for Cui Jie's business." ”

This sentence surprised both Lu Ke and Mo Yufei, Cui Jie was the defendant in the public trial of the court a week ago, the vendor who killed the chengguan.

"Do you know Cui Jie?" Lu Ke asked seriously.

Lan Zhengqing smiled and nodded: "Of course, he is our member here." ”

"Can you show me your membership information?" Lu Ke continued to ask.

Lan Zhengqing pondered for a few seconds, then nodded: "No problem, I'm a soldier, you are a policeman, and we are a family." ”

After saying that, he opened the computer very happily, logged in to a membership system, and retrieved the list of all members.

He flipped the monitor over and pointed it towards Lu Ke and Mo Yufei.

Mo Yufei immediately took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, plugged it into the computer, and prepared to copy the information.

Lu Ke looked through it and chatted with Lan Zhengqing: "Is this club under your management now?" ”

"The management still belongs to Li Jiansheng, I just have nothing to do and come and have a look." Lan Zhengqing said with a smile.

"What about Li Jiansheng? Doesn't he usually come? Lu Ke continued to ask.

"Whew!"

Lan Zhengqing smiled helplessly and said to the two: "Isn't this all Cui Jie's trouble!" ”

Lu Ke raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him.

Then, Mo Yufei asked suspiciously: "Does Cui Jie's matter have anything to do with your boss?" ”

Lan Zhengqing took a puff of cigarette and replied lightly: "This Cui Jie and Li Jiansheng are soldiers of the same year, they are comrades-in-arms of the same class, and they have a very good relationship. It is said that in the army, Cui Jie also saved Li Jiansheng's life! No, after Cui Mingming's incident, it has always been Li Jiansheng who has been running east and west to help deal with it, and Cui Jie's defense lawyer was all invited by Li Jian at a higher price! ”

He paused, threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, his expression suddenly became a little lonely, and he said in a deep voice: "After Cui Jie was sentenced, Li Jiansheng was not in a good mood, saying that he was going out to relax. No, pull me over and be on duty. ”

"When did Li Jiansheng leave? Where did he go? Lu Ke asked with some alarm.

Lan Zhengqing thought for a while and shook his head: "After Cui Jie was sentenced, he left, I don't know where he went. ”
