With a clear and audible sound of bone cracking, Lu Pinnan flew out of the ring, banged, and fell to the ground.

There was silence for a while.

Li An raised his chin at the host under the ring.

"Announce it."

On the other side, the Kowloon District Missionary Hall.

Chen Qichang glanced at the photo on the desk, which was a photo of him and his daughter.

The photo is set at the entrance to Victoria Park, with a bronze statue of Queen Victoria standing behind it. The girl took his arm and smiled.

Zhou Sheng was a little silent and helped Chen Qichang store the personal belongings on the desk in a cardboard box one by one.

Seeing that it was almost cleaned up, Chen Qichang pulled up the hem of his clothes and wiped the almost invisible floating ash on the photo frame, and put the photo frame into the carton.

He glanced up at the silent Zhou Sheng, and said with a smile:

"What? I vacated the inspector's office for you, and you still have a bitter face, what's upset? ”

Zhou Sheng pursed his lips: "Uncle, you know, me." ”

"Stop."

Chen Qichang opened his mouth to interrupt Zhou Sheng's words, and said earnestly:

"Uncle Ling, I have been in this position for so many years, and the coffin has already been enough, how can I still occupy this position and not let go, it's time to make room for you young people.

Isn't there such a saying, the rapids retreat bravely. If you retire two years earlier, you can enjoy two more years of happiness, don't you say? ”

After saying this, he patted Zhou Sheng on the shoulder.

"Let's go."

Saying that he was about to pick up the carton, Zhou Sheng took the first step to help him pick up the carton, he smiled, and the two walked out of the office.

As if thinking of something, Chen Qichang suddenly spoke:

"By the way, Xinyi will be back in two days, and you will pick her up at the airport then."

Zhou Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Xinyi? Isn't she still studying? ”

When Chen Qichang heard this, he slapped Zhou Sheng on the head and scolded with a smile:

"You bastard, you don't take Xinyi to heart at all. She graduated last year and has been interning at Andriy in London for more than half a year.

Last month, Xinyi applied to be relocated to its law firm in Tsim Sha Tsui. This time when I return to Hong Kong, Xinyi will no longer go to London, you are not young anymore, and when the time comes, I will have a matter of concern when the time comes. ”

Zhou Sheng showed a wry smile on his face:

"No, uncle, we have rarely been in touch since Xinyi went to London, do you want to ask Xinyi's opinion on this matter first?"

"Don't worry, I'm her father, I'll talk to Xinyi about this. When she comes back, you can spend more time with her. ”

Chen Qichang waved his hand and made the final decision.

Zhou Sheng wanted to speak and stopped.

In fact, marriage is such a thing as consensual.

He and Xinyi grew up together, although the two had no guesses, but Zhou Sheng couldn't tell if they liked the relationship between the two.

And Xinyi has been abroad for many years, and now Chen Qichang rashly mentioned the marriage between the two, which really made him a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Qichang, and finally had to nod:

"I see, Uncle."

"That's right. I don't know how good the relationship between the two of you is, how could Xinyi disagree. ”

Chen Qichang laughed with relief.

"Let's go."

The two walked out of the errand hall, Zhou Sheng opened the door of the Ford car, put the cardboard box in his hand in the back seat, and closed the door.

"Okay, you go first, I'll go first."

Chen Qichang, who got into the car, opened the window and said this to Zhou Sheng, then started the car and left slowly.

Zhou Sheng exhaled a breath of turbid air and turned around and returned to the mission hall.

As he walked through the plainclothes office area, a man wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a Chinese character face walked up to him.

"Brother Sheng."

"Brother Dong, you can just call me Ah Sheng."

Zhou Sheng was a little helpless.

The man's name is Li Dong, and Zhou Sheng is a fellow villager, and he has been working with Chen Qichang before, and since he was transferred to this errand hall, Li Dong has also taken care of him.

Li Dong smiled when he heard Zhou Sheng's words:

"You're a detective now, how can you call you Ah Sheng the same as before."

"Alright, it's up to you."

Zhou Sheng didn't insist either, and asked, "Is there anything to find me?" ”

Li Dong put away the smile on his face.

"It's not me looking for you, it's Feng Chunmei who invited you to drink tea at Lin Ji Teahouse on Boundary Street."

Zhou Sheng frowned:

"When did he agree?"

Li Dong shook his head.

"He didn't say when, he just called the errand and said to be waiting for you at the teahouse."

Zhou Sheng thought for a while and said:

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with the chakan now, let's go meet him first."

Li Dong pondered: "Then do you want to find two guys to follow." ”

"No, you don't."

Zhou Sheng waved his hand and smiled:

"Lin Ji Teahouse is on Boundary Street, so close to the errand house, forgive him and dare not turn his face."

Lin Kee Tea House.

When Zhou Sheng took Li Dong to the door of the teahouse, the sharp-eyed boss hurriedly walked out of front of the counter and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Sir Zhou, please come in."

"Hmm!"

Zhou Sheng nodded in response. Walking into the lobby, he looked around and asked the boss who was in good shape:

"Where's Feng Chunmei?"

"Oh, upstairs in the private room, I'll take you up."

The boss took the conversation with a smile, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Walking up the spiraling wooden staircase to the second floor, to the private room on the right, the boss stopped and pushed open the private room door.

"Please."

Zhou Sheng glanced inside, and a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with an embroidered phoenix and a white foundation on his face was sitting at the table drinking tea. Behind him stood two expressionless horses.

Seeing Zhou Sheng coming, he got up with a smile and walked over.

pinched his throat and said hello:

"Sir Zhou, oh, it's time to call Inspector Hua now. You're finally here! ”

"You still call me Sir Zhou."

"Okay, it's yours."

Feng Chunmei nodded. Then he stretched out his orchid finger and waved his hand at the boss.

"Let's talk, I'll go down first, if you need to call a buddy."

The boss was amused.

He turned around and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and kicked down the stairs. It seems that he doesn't want to stay longer for a moment.

Feng Chunmei said while closing the door:

"Sir Zhou, it's really not easy for you to come over."

As soon as the door of the private room closed, the strong smell of rouge gouache emanating from Feng Chunmei's body in front of him rushed into his nasal cavity, making Zhou Sheng frown slightly.

He smiled quietly and said:

"Why, if you call the errand hall, won't I just come over? I just don't know why you're in such a hurry to invite me over? ”

Regarding Zhou Sheng's words, Feng Chunmei was noncommittal.

"Eh, things are not in a hurry, come, have a cup of tea first."

He stretched out his hand and led Zhou Sheng and the two to sit down at the table.

A cup of tea.

Zhou Sheng put down the teacup and said straight to the point:

"Feng Chunmei, what's the matter, let's talk about it now."

Feng Chunmei beckoned, and a horse boy behind him carried a duffel bag and placed it in front of Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng glanced at it and raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Feng Chunmei smiled and stretched out her hand to signal:

"Inspector Zhou, you might as well open it up and take a look first."

Li Dong on the side opened the zipper, and the red, red, green and green brand new Hong Kong dollars were stacked in his bag in a mess.

Feng Chunmei seemed to be confident, and said slowly:

"There are 150,000 Hong Kong dollars in the bag, which is a meeting gift from our fellow townspeople to Sir Zhou, congratulations on your promotion to detective."

Zhou Sheng didn't speak, and took a wad of ten Hong Kong dollars from it.

brushed, rubbed the Hong Kong dollar with his fingers, and sniffed in front of his nose, with an exaggerated expression:

"Wow, it smells fishy!"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Chunmei's smile froze on her face.

The atmosphere in the private room was a little silent for a while.

Zhou Sheng suddenly laughed: "You don't need to be so serious, it's just a joke." ”

He threw the money into his bag, pushed the bag in front of Feng Chunmei, and said:

"No one doesn't like money. But there is an old saying that the so-called merit is not rewarded. You Feng Chunmei gave me so much money at once, and I was also uneasy about taking it, you better take back this money. ”

Feng Chunmei suddenly stretched out her hand, and her palm snapped on Zhou Sheng's wrist.

Zhou Sheng's wrist was hard, and he wanted to push the bag over, but Feng Chunmei's palm was like an iron tong, and he couldn't shake it at all, so he could only watch Feng Chunmei push the bag in front of him.

"Feng Chunmei, you are too presumptuous, what do you want to do?"

Li Dong shouted loudly, suddenly pulled out the troll on his waist, and raised the muzzle of the gun to point at Feng Chunmei opposite.

Feng Chunmei didn't speak, let go of her hand, her eyes turned, her eyes moved coldly to Ah Dong's face, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.

"Brother Dong, put the gun away."

Zhou Sheng stretched out his hand and pressed the muzzle of the gun down.

Ah Dong glanced at Zhou Sheng and saw him nodding, so he put away the gun unwillingly.

"It's a good kung fu."

Zhou Sheng glanced at the red finger prints on his wrist, sighed in admiration, and rubbed his wrist indifferently.

Then he said:

"Your fellow villagers will occupy the three-way area of the walled city, and be a soil emperor at ease, why do you have to go outside and grab food with other associations."

Feng Chunmei took out an embroidered white handkerchief from her cuff, covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Where did Sir Zhou say, who would be disgusted with a lot of money. This walled city is a big place, and it is full of bitterness that can't be eaten enough haha.

It sounds like a walled city, but in fact it is just a slum, no matter how much it can't blow up three taels of oil, where can it compare to making money outside.

Sir Zhou, you said this is the reason, right? ”

Zhou Sheng nodded, didn't bother to hide it, and said:

"The side businesses of a few streets near Boundary Street have already been allocated, and the money for my promotion is also shared by them. As soon as your fellow villagers come here, you want to enter the venue directly, so what else do we do in the embassy? ”

Feng Chunmei seemed to be prepared, he took over and said:

"As long as we are close to the East Street Junction of Kai Tak Airport, we will not cross the border to other streets. Of course, we will help you get the club in Dongjiekou, and we will definitely not make you embarrassed.

As for the fees."

He held out two fingers.

"We're going to pay 20 percent more than they do. How's it going, you see? ”

"Not good."

Zhou Sheng shook his head and refused: "Everyone knows that Dongjiekou is close to the airport, and it is the most lively and prosperous there. ”

"Sir Zhou, don't be in a hurry to refuse."

Feng Chunmei interrupted Zhou Sheng's words, took a sip of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then spoke:

"In this way, you can bring the money back first, give you a week to think about it, and then you will not agree to give a word."

"The money is not needed."

Zhou Sheng dropped such a sentence and got up to leave.

"Sir Zhou, to be a friend or an enemy, I hope you will seriously consider it."

Feng Chunmei's words came from behind her, and the words were full of threat.

Li Dong turned his head and glared at him viciously, and Feng Chunmei smiled in return.

"Two sirs, go slowly."

Downstairs, the boss sent the two out of the house.

Li Dong said indignantly:

"This Feng Chunmei is so presumptuous that even the police dare to threaten her."

Zhou Sheng took over: "They can only rely on the fact that the police have no law enforcement power in the walled city, so they dare to be so presumptuous." ”

"And what did he say?"

"If you really want to do the side business at Dongjiekou, sooner or later it will be as dark as the walled city. Even if we agree, the ghost guy with the lintel on the top half of the won't agree. ”

Zhou Sheng walked to the errand hall first, and he didn't look back.

"Ignore this bump."

Western Union Shipyard, Boxing Ring.

Li An's feet were like mud, he stepped closer, stepped forward with his palms, slapped his opponent's arms, and his palms were slightly bent against his jaw and lifted upward.

"Phew!"

With the sound of the neck bone folding back, the opponent in the ring spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his neck fell back on the ring, losing consciousness.

"Wow, this posterior boy is amazing, he won four games in a row in one afternoon, and his shots were crisp and neat, and no one could hold on to a round!"

The audience who won the money in the audience exclaimed with their eyebrows fluttering.

"What the hell! How does this boxing ring arrange for opponents, with his skills, arrange some eggs for him to come to the stage, how to do business? ”

Some viewers who lost said unwillingly.

As soon as he said this, someone soon scolded him:

"Hold your mother! There is a clear chance to win, who are you to blame for not being eye-catching? You don't want to win yourself, you ask everyone, do you want to win? ”

"Of course!"

Many viewers echoed loudly.

There was a mess in the stands.

Da Rong stood on the edge of the ring and beckoned Ang Lee in the ring to come down.

Li An asked him:

"What's the matter, Daiei."

Daiei pointed to the grandstand on the second floor.

"Brother Sheng is looking for you."

Li An looked at the grandstand on the second floor, and Ma Masheng nodded at him.

"Hmm."

Li An replied vaguely. Roll over and step down. Follow the corridor to the stairs.

When he came to the second floor, Ma Lusheng nodded:

"Sit."

Li An pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked half-jokingly:

"I'm fighting hard! How? Don't let me fight? ”

"Don't say you're motivated, the audience below is more energetic than you! These people are all old gamblers, and their eyes are vicious, if you continue to fight like this, they will definitely have no brains to follow, I don't have to pay for death in this boxing field. ”

Ma Sheng smiled bitterly.

watched Ang Lee's four games in the afternoon, and Ma Lusheng also believed that Ang Lee was the one who played in Zhongfang Street some time ago.

Ang Lee pursed his lips and said indifferently:

"How can you say such an exaggeration, the odds of your boxing stadium can be adjusted."

"Alright, alright. After that, you won't have to go on stage during the day. In the evening, I will help you arrange your opponents. ”

Ma Lusheng was a little helpless.

Ang Lee smiled:

"I've seen all the boxing matches last night, and the ugly words are ahead, and I came to the ring just to find someone to fight.

Long Chenghu is a boxer arranged by the fellow townspeople's association, and I don't want to get involved in the matter between you. If you arrange for me to fight him and I don't play, don't blame me for losing money.

As for Wang Yunwu, I have fought with him in the Mojiaquan Martial Arts Gym, and it will be boring to fight again. The rest doesn't matter, you look at the arrangement. ”

Dog-bit-dog hair.

The fight between the townsfolk association and the ghost guys, Ang Lee doesn't want to get involved at all now.
