Chapter 53: Celebration
In the afternoon of the same day, after Xia Wen got off work, Gao Liping drove her car to the Central Police Station and picked up Xia Wen to go to the bar together.
Because they knew that Huang Jialing and Gao Liping were not very compatible, both of them tacitly did not mention her, and Gao Liping drove away by herself after Xia Wen got in the car.
Of course, Xia Wen sensed Huang Jialing's intentions, but he was hesitant at the moment, after all, looking at Huang Jialing's appearance, she didn't look like a person who could live in harmony with Zhou Wenli and them.
Coming to the bar, Xia Wen got out of the car, and under the guidance of Gao Liping, came to the private room booth.
In the booth, all the members of Gao Liping's team were waiting here, and when they saw Xia Wen coming, they hurriedly greeted Xia Wen warmly and warmly to sit down.
Of course, it is impossible for Gao Liping to drink alone with Xia Wen, and the relationship between the two has not yet reached this point.
In this case, she can be said to be the biggest or even the only beneficiary, so it is reasonable for her to invite the team members to have a drink.
Xia Wen already knew about this when he came, so it was not surprising that he sat down calmly in the warm hospitality of everyone.
Glancing around, there are a total of 15 people in the booth, 12 men and 3 women, which is a very normal configuration of yang and yin.
At this time, Gao Liping summoned the waiter and began to serve wine.
Soon, the waiter brought beer, snacks, and fruits, and put them on the table one by one.
Gao Liping didn't have too many polite words, she directly opened the bottle and poured wine, and after raising a glass to thank everyone, let everyone drink quickly.
The joyful atmosphere began, some of them raised their glasses, some people directly raised bottles, toasted each other, ate and drank, and were so lively and unhappy.
After drinking for a while, someone proposed to play a game, and the loser was punished for drinking, which was unanimously agreed by everyone.
The name of the game is 007, from the beginning of a person shouting 0 to designate a person, that person immediately shouts 0 and then Ren refers to another person, the third person shouts 7 with his hand compared to a pistol any person, the person who is shot does not make a sound and does not make any movements, but the people on the left and right sides of the person who are shot should raise their hands as a surrender form, and at the same time the mouth should send out "Ah! The sound of the wrong person is punished for drinking.
Soon, the game started with Gao Liping's shouting.
Xia Wen, as an outsider, is naturally targeted. After three rounds of the game, he either shouted "0" or shouted "7", or raised his hand and shouted "Ah! In short, he just can't be idle.
As the game progressed, he kept being picked up, but he was strengthened by the system, reacted quickly, and made no mistakes, and gradually, they also found it boring and stopped clicking on him.
Seeing that he was idle, Gao Liping approached, toasted Xia Wen with a glass of wine, and apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I didn't know they would target you." ”
It's just a trivial matter, and such an apology is a bit too solemn. Xia Wen hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and said in his mouth: "It's okay, come out to play, everyone's happiness is the most important thing." ”
When Gao Liping heard this, she gave Xia Wen another glass of wine and returned to her seat.
After a while, Xia Wen got up and walked out of the booth and went out to the toilet.
Instead, she knocked down a big-eyed beauty at the door of the toilet, she hurriedly walked up, was hit by Xia Wen, stood unsteadily, and fell backwards.
Fortunately, Xia Wen reacted quickly and hurriedly grabbed her right hand and pulled her up.
"Are you alright? I'm sorry, miss, but you were in such a hurry that I didn't notice. ”
Xia Wen apologized to her and looked her up and down.
She was dressed in overalls, black trousers with a white shirt, a small vest over it, a ponytail, dressed as a waitress, and an anxious look on her face.
She bowed her head and apologized to Xia Wen: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't pay attention, I'm sorry." ”
After hearing Xia Wen say, "It's okay! After that, she immediately ran away, apparently in a hurry to get to work.
Xia Wen didn't pay much attention to it, and after going to the toilet to put out the water, he was about to return to the private room, but he accidentally bumped into another person.
It's Le Huizhen.
She was drinking with her colleagues to celebrate the big case the day before yesterday.
Except for yesterday's case, Xia Wen has basically informed her of all the cases she has experienced, and she has recently broken the news, and it has been hot for a while.
Xia Wen was about to leave, but was discovered by her assistant Little Fat Brother and greeted him.
Since he was discovered, of course he couldn't leave immediately, Xia Wen generously said hello to Little Fat Brother and Le Huizhen, and was about to turn around and prepare to leave.
However, she was stopped by Le Huizhen, she grabbed Xia Wen's right arm, and must pull Xia Wen to her booth to drink two glasses.
It could be seen that she had drunk a little too much, and at the moment her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blurred, and her small mouth was slightly open and full of alcohol.
Xia Wen wasn't going to join her in the fun, he didn't say hello to Gao Liping halfway through.
Ke Le Huizhen seemed to be a little unconscious, and she clung to Xia Wen, making him unable to break free for a while.
She suddenly began to talk about her relationship with Xia Wen, which made her quite inspired, and then she went to several regional police stations to look for partners, but all she found were crooked melons and cracked dates.
It's still Xia Wen easy to use, and it's his own lucky star.
Hearing Le Huizhen's words, Xia Wen was speechless, and then suddenly reacted, smiled in his heart, and walked into the booth with her pull.
Le Huizhen was still chattering about how good the news given by Xia Wen was, making herself in the limelight and receiving a lot of commendations, all thanks to her original discernment, she discovered a talent like Xia Wen.
Le Huizhen's words made Xia Wen quite uncomfortable, and it also made the little fat brother next to Xia Wen smile awkwardly at Xia Wen and turned to his colleague.
Opportunity!
Seeing that there was no one around the two at the moment, Xia Wen reached out and touched Le Huizhen's coat pocket that was thrown on the sofa next to him.
Seeing that Le Huizhen was still pestering herself to drink, in order to avoid being discovered by her, he also picked up a wine glass and drank with her.
The Hong Kong Island ICAC has issued an anti-bribery ordinance, and public officials who receive $500 or equivalent items are considered bribes, but the public does not raise them and the officials are not prosecuted, and the ICAC does not have the energy to investigate such trivial matters.
But if Xia Wen can get the evidence, even if it is just a private transaction, as long as the evidence can be provided, Le Huizhen will have to go to prison.
Of course, Xia Wen didn't intend to send Le Huizhen to prison, just to get her handle back in her hands.
Although that evidence can no longer be used as evidence to send Xia Wen to prison, as a journalist, she can always find a way to affect her reputation.
It's better not to have such a thing as a handle.
Xia Wen pretended to be happy, and got very close to Le Huizhen, and quietly turned on the recorder beside her while drinking.
Xia Wen took advantage of Le Huizhen's drunkenness, coaxed her, and slowly asked her about the details of her money transactions with other police officers.
I don't know what Le Huizhen's situation is, she is drunk at the moment, she doesn't have a door in her mouth, and she tells everything about it.
This includes the police station, the name of the officer, the purpose of the transaction, and the information confided.
Seeing the news in hand, Xia Wen put away the recorder and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Le Huizhen actually went crazy with alcohol, hugged Xia Wen's arm, and the whole person came up, looking excited, not letting him leave, and saying that Xia Wen was her baby, and he was not allowed to leave his words.
Xia Wen felt the softness on her chest, although it was through the clothes, but her arms were also deeply trapped in it, making him unable to break free.
It's just that her words made him suspicious for a while, isn't it just to provide information, sell information, and take what you need, is it necessary to say it so ambiguously?
Xia Wen forcibly straightened her, wrapped her around her waist, picked her up, and gently placed her on the sofa.
Le Huizhen didn't continue to be drunk, but just muttered in her mouth, I'm out of breath now, hot words.
Xia Wen gently pulled out her hand, put her coat on her, summoned her colleague to take care of Le Huizhen, and got up to leave.
Xia Wen returned to Gao Liping's private room, explained to her, and continued to sit down and drink with everyone.
Gao Liping and Xia Wen touched another glass.
