Chapter 30: Old Subordinates
Zhang Xiaoyu took Haohao to school, and Li Mai looked at the changed living room, deeply feeling that what the two dead friends said was not wrong at all.
His home is in dire need of a hostess.
Even if he took the first place in internal affairs when he was in the army, he couldn't replace the position of women in family life.
Thinking that he didn't know how to deal with Hao Hao and Zhang Xiaoyu at night, he couldn't help but have a headache. Grabbing his coat, he put aside it for a moment and went out.
You have to hurry up and find a way to make money, and every month's rent and living expenses are a large expense, and you can't slack off at all.
Li Mai decided to take a look at the second-hand car market, and for now, he still feels that the money from running a black taxi is fast and the time is free. But after the Happy Nest incident, he gave up his plan to buy a new car and get a second-hand one. Even if it is damaged, it can reduce the damage.
When I took a taxi to the second-hand car trading market, it was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which was sleepy. In the market, which is densely packed with all kinds of vehicles, shopkeepers are either sleeping soundly on wicker chairs wrapped in old-fashioned military coats, or gathering in three or five to gamble.
Occasionally, a few guests walked by, attracting a weak greeting.
Not far away, a few people were watching around a car, the engine cover was opened, and the shopkeeper pointed to the parts inside and gushed about them, foaming at the mouth. The guest's expression was unmoved, calmly watching.
A little farther away, two men in civilian clothes were asking the owner for something. Li Mai couldn't help but take a second look, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the land 3600 off-road vehicle parked at the door, and couldn't help but smile.
Li Mai walked around slowly, ignoring those joint venture brands and looking specifically at the cars of his own brand. The shopkeepers looked at him with a poor and sour appearance, but they only looked at him, and no one came forward to solicit him.
Li Mai didn't care about this, just so as not to waste his tongue.
He is more familiar with vehicles. During his service in the military, he was systematically trained in vehicle-related skills. Tanks and armored vehicles will be repaired, not to mention the simplest civilian vehicles. I will naturally look at it, but I don't worry about being pitted by the bottomless second-hand car market.
After turning around, Li Mai's eyes fell on a black second-generation Junjie, which had driven 120,000 kilometers in eight years. Because the troops were heavily equipped with such vehicles, he knew it well. This car has an atmospheric appearance, a solid chassis, and one of the best rear spaces in its class, which are the most important things to have as a black taxi. And manual 1. With a displacement of 8L, it is fuel-efficient and has enough power.
That's it.
I was about to go over to negotiate the price with the shopkeeper, but a sentence floated from afar: "Instructor?"
He turned his head to look, but it was the voice from the store where the land 3600 off-road vehicle was parked in front of the door, and the two men in civilian clothes seemed to be about to get into the car, standing on the side, looking here. Li Mai immediately recognized one of them, a man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a flat head and sunglasses.
The man in the sunglasses said something to his companion, strode over, took off his sunglasses, and his expression was quite excited.
Li Mai smiled and took a few steps up.
The man in sunglasses stood still a few steps away, and was about to raise his hand in salute, when his palm was raised halfway and was pressed forward by Li Mai. He looked at Li Mai and said excitedly, "Instructor, it's really you, I didn't expect to have a chance to meet you." ”
Li Mai patted him on the shoulder, "Miao Huazheng, I remember you." ”
This person is a young police officer who led the team to provide elite training for the police department when Li Mai led the team, Li Mai was not only the captain of the short knife commando team back then, but also the tactical instructor of the hunter unit, so the heavyweight training was led by him.
The elite training of the police system is the highest level, but if it weren't for the boss of the police department, that training would never have allowed the hunter unit to send Li Mai.
It's just that Li Mai didn't expect to meet the former students here.
After glancing at Miao Huazheng up and down, Li Mai praised: "Yes, your kid became the captain of the criminal police at a young age, and his future is immeasurable." ”
Miao Huazheng was taken aback: "Instructor, I was just promoted to captain, how do you know?"
Li Mai pointed to the land 3600 off-road vehicle in the distance, "That car is the car of the criminal investigation captain of the city bureau, right?" ”
"An instructor is an instructor, observant and has a super memory. Miao Huazheng looked at Li Mai adoringly, and then, he thought of a question, opened his mouth, and asked, "Instructor, why are you in Nangang?"
Li Mai smiled, "I have retired, and Nangang is my hometown." ”
"Retired?" Miao Huazheng was surprised. He clearly remembered that the instructor had already worn the rank of captain on his shoulders back then, and it was said that he was the most promising young cadre in the special forces, how could he retire!
"If you're not busy, if you're not busy, stay with me to see the car. Li Mai didn't plan to explain anything, and said with a smile.
Shaking his head decisively, Miao Hua was busy saying, "Not busy, not busy, instructor, I want to invite you to drink in the evening." ”
"I don't think it's going to work at night. Li Mai smiled and said, "That's it, find a place to drink after finishing things in a while." ”
"Yes! Thank you, instructor!"
Miao Huazheng's excitement was overflowing, and he looked at Li Mai's gaze, "Instructor, you want to buy a second-hand car?"
"Hmm. Li Mai nodded and walked over, "That's it." ”
Miao Hua was hurrying to follow, turned around and beckoned to his subordinates, who drove the land 3600 over, stopped at the door of the store, and stood on the side and waited.
A few steps to catch up with Li Mai, Miao Hua was taking the lead and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Boss Huang!"
The chubby middle-aged man walked out, and when he saw that it was Miao Huazheng, he immediately nodded and walked quickly, "Yo! Team Miao, what kind of wind is blowing you, please sit inside." ”
Miao Hua was putting his handbag under his ribs and waved his hand, "Accompany my eldest brother to buy a car." ”
Boss Huang is also a person with eyesight, and he stretched out his hands to Li Mai in one arrow step, "Hello big brother, hello big brother......" At the same time, he looked up at Miao Huazheng, Miao Huazheng said lightly, "My eldest brother's surname is Li." ”
"Hello Mr. Li. Boss Huang enthusiastically shook Li Mai's hand wildly.
Li Mai said hello with a smile.
Then Boss Huang began to point to the second-hand luxury cars in the store and introduced them, Li Mai waved his hand, pointed to the second-generation Junjie outside, and asked, "Boss Huang, you give a real price for this car, and I will drive away if it is suitable." ”
Boss Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Li Mai seriously, coarse clothes and shoes. However, Miao Hua was pestle on the side, and he didn't dare to show it. The criminal investigation team of the city bureau has gone here to investigate the case, and over time, everyone knows that Miao Hua is the star police officer of the city bureau, and he has been taken seriously by the above. These people are tightly stammered.
But this Boss Huang is an old fritter.
"Mr. Li has good eyesight!"
Boss Huang gave a thumbs up, suppressed his voice and said matter-of-factly, "I have so many cars here, this is the one I dare to put outside, Mr. Li, I can see that you are also a person who understands cars......"
"Boss Huang!"
Miao Huazheng interrupted him, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't know what you are." Hurry up and make an offer. ”
"Uh, yes, yes. Boss Huang hurriedly said, "Team Miao, just give 60,000 yuan for this car." ”
As soon as the words came out, Miao Huazheng's face suddenly became unsightly. He knows that this generation of Junjie Pi is durable and retains its value, but it is definitely not worth the price. This Huang boss is not honest.
Without waiting for Miao Hua to speak, Li Mai smiled and said, "Boss Huang, I haven't seen your car yet, and I haven't tested it." In this way, either I will run two laps and then talk about the price, or I will give you 40,000 yuan, and I will drive away. How?"
Boss Huang looked at Li Mai's faint smile and knew that he had met a master. The car was not as outrageous as he said, except for the powertrain, several other components were on the verge of scrapping. He calculated the accounts, replaced them all, and got eighteen thousand dollars, he didn't change them to new ones, but the price was calculated according to this.
Glancing at Miao Huazheng, Boss Huang smiled awkwardly and said, "You are the eldest brother of the Miao team, this is a loss, and my old Huang also sold it." Mr. Li, you take 40,000 yuan and sign the contract immediately. ”
Li Mai took out four bundles of soft coins from his pocket, took out two, and then handed the rest over, "This is the money in the right rearview mirror." ”
Boss Huang was shocked all of a sudden-how did he see that the right rearview mirror was glued with all-purpose glue!
Ten minutes later, Miao Huazheng asked his subordinates to drive back first, took Li Mai's car, left Checheng, came to the roadside restaurant in Chengguan District, ordered a few small fried two pots, and drank it.
Li Mai knew how much Miao Huazheng was drinking, and in the training camp that year, Miao Huazheng was very good in all aspects, including drinking. Miao Huazheng was even more impressed by Li Mai's drinking. Before the disbandment of the training camp, Li Mai drank from beginning to end, the only one.
After three cups, Miao Huazheng gave a detailed introduction to his recent situation, and then expressed his troubles with the strength of wine: "Instructor, I now deeply realize how difficult it is to become a so-called police officer, and it is even more difficult to become an excellent police commander. ”
With that, he tilted his neck and drank the wine from his glass.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth, said in a low voice, "A month ago, our bureau sent a special police team to the northwest for rotational training, and only seven ......of the nine people came back."
Li Mai was silent, he was clear about the current situation in the northwest, but it was the first time he had heard of the special police rotation training sent by police stations in various places. Perhaps this has something to do with the frequent cases of violent terrorist attacks in various places. And he also knows that the casualty rate of police officers in peacetime is much higher than that of military personnel.
"This morning, there was a bus bomb case in Guomao, if it wasn't for a mysterious man in the car who defused the bomb, the consequences would be terrible......" Miao Huazheng said and suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Li Mai with wide eyes, "Instructor, that person can't be ......"
Li Mai nodded slightly, "I happened to be in the car." But you just have to know what to do. ”
Sure enough, it was an instructor, no wonder Miao Hua had a sense of déjà vu after seeing the defused bomb at that time. He nodded heavily, "I understand. ”
Li Mai asked casually: "The situation has been clarified." ”
Speaking of this, Miao Huazheng seemed to think of something, "The captain of the special patrol police team who arrived at that time provided an important direction for detection, and we have found some clues, it is very likely that it is a violent terrorist gang flowing from the northwest." Instructor, these analyses are also what you sued the police officer?"
"Police flower?" Li Mai was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "It's really beautiful." No, I didn't sue her for my analysis. ”
Maybe out of guilt, Li Mai concealed this, which can be regarded as a credit for sending the policeman.
Miao Hua was about to speak, when the mobile phone rang, he answered it, and his face changed greatly.
"What!"
