Police Chen Shu

In the provincial hall parking lot, inside the Volkswagen golf cart, the atmosphere is a bit dull.

Chen Shu smiled and enlightened: "Teacher Zeng, let's go to the old place at night? The sweet and sour fish there is really amazing. I have to pack a copy and take it home for my parents to taste."

Zeng Hong leaned on the back of the chair, half-closed his eyes and said weakly: "It's all nonsense. Let's go back to Dongzhou, I'm a little tired."

"Jingle Bell!"

Zeng Hong took out his mobile phone to look at it, sat up straight all of a sudden, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with Fatty Xia? Are you calling now?"

Holding the steering wheel in his hand, Chen Shu skillfully reversed the car: "Take it. Maybe I feel ashamed of our hard work for coming to the provincial capital, and want to treat me to a buffet in the canteen of the provincial department."

Zeng Hong picked up the phone.

"Oh? The meeting tonight has been cancelled?"

"Okay, yes, definitely. Will there be another place tonight?"

"Okay, okay, no problem. Yes, yes, his name is Chen Shu. He is here, don't worry."

"That's right, he needs to toast you a few more glasses!"

"Director Xia, let's see you tonight."

Zeng Hong put down the phone, he was still shocked by Director Yu Xia's sudden change.

He shook his head, and said foolishly: "Xiaoshu, Director Xia is coming to dinner tonight. Your second-class work is done."

Chen Shu turned the steering wheel and said with a smile, "Okay!"

5:00 p.m., Gushan Road, Ge Wai Ge Restaurant

For the banquet in the evening, Zeng Hong chose a famous restaurant by the East Lake that is said to have a history of more than 100 years. The chef is a senior local person with a special chef certificate.

If it weren't for the recommendation of an old and influential comrade-in-arms in the local area, basically this box has nothing to do with Zeng Hong, an outsider.

The box is quite large, rectangular in shape of two rooms inside and outside, with a large round table for eight people on the inside, and a simple and elegant tea table outside for guests to wait before meals.

There is also a small artificial water feature with "gurgling" flowing water at the door. To enter from the outside of the room, you have to step on the stepping stones laid on the pool, which has an antique flavor.

Before all the guests arrived, Zeng Hong took Chen Shu to arrange them one by one in the box. First of all, put a brown envelope and a pack of Huazi in front of each guest; then take out the red wine and Moutai that you bring, the red wine is simple, directly open two bottles and pour them into the decanter provided by the hotel, and put a few bottles of Moutai on the disc Just go up.

Chen Shu rested his elbows on the back of the chair, reached out and took the envelope in front of his seat, opened it, and said, ouch, I'll go, two thousand!

After ordering, a total of three were placed on the table, which was six thousand.

Chen Shu jokingly said, "Teacher Zeng, is this the fare for traveling and horses? You comrades also do this at dinner parties?"

In big cities, it is extremely inconvenient for guests to come and go because of the long distances, and it is not uncommon for guests to spend an hour or two on the road. Unlike in small second- and third-tier cities, you can make a call, and you can get to a place to eat with just a few swipes of (d-ou) sounds.

The owner asks for help, and it is a favor for others to come, so this car fee came into being in big cities, and later developed, it is equivalent to appetizing small red envelopes. To have a good time, the cost of discussing things later is less than one piece.

While uncorking the red wine bottle, Zeng Hong smiled and said, "We don't like this in Dongzhou, but now we are here, we have to follow their rules. Besides, Fatty Xia also said that he brought a guest." Come together, this is our importance, and we should give him more face.

"But they are all members of the system. I guess they won't accept it. Leaving it like this is also a kind of respect for them. By the way, you can't persuade people to drink at the wine table, and second, you can't talk about second-class merit. If people are willing to come to eat this meal today, it means that you can definitely handle this matter."

Chen Shu knew about this kind of relationship, and everyone at the dinner table was tacitly aware of it, so they didn't say a word. Generally speaking, when the scene is over after drinking, at the entrance of the hotel, or before getting in the car, two related people whisper a few words of truth in their ears and the matter is over.

Chen Shu nodded, folded the envelope and put it back: "Zeng Jiao, if they take the money, I'll pay you later."

With that said, he got up and looked around at the classically decorated and elegant environment around him, knowing in his heart that the meal was not cheap. He didn't say anything, but he already accepted Zeng Hong's favor in his heart.

"That is required."

Zeng Hong uncorked the bottle, poked his head over the mouth of the bottle and took a deep breath, with a satisfied expression on his face.

He was also very satisfied to be able to earn second-class merit for his apprentice before retiring to the second-tier.

"Boom boom boom."

As the knock on the door sounded, the chubby Director Xia led a young woman in with a smile on his face.

"Julie!"

Chen Shu, who was leaning on the back of the chair and gagging with Zeng Hong, looked up and saw that the person entering the room was Zhu Li, a forensic doctor from Zhengming University of Criminal Justice. He was so surprised that he almost dropped the flower in his mouth on the ground.

The door of the box was pushed open by Director Xia Pingping, and Zhu Li, who was dragging her skirt, walked in first.

Her jet-black hair was pulled high and adorned with delicate jewellery, and her eyes were the round almond-shaped ones, the same as Huang Siqian's but not as big. But at the moment, he can't hide the temperament of a child from a noble family.

Chen Shu is also a person who has been beaten in the society for many years. Seeing Zhu Li's behavior, he suddenly understood why Director Xia's attitude suddenly changed in the afternoon.

"Hehe, Chen Shu, you didn't call me when you came to the provincial capital to treat guests? Fortunately, Uncle Xia knew that we knew each other and invited me over. Isn't that right, Uncle Xia?" Zhu Li said in a drawn out voice.

As soon as Zhu Li said this, she obviously knew the intention of Chen Shu's visit to the provincial capital this time, so she pointed out the meaning of "Chen Shu's treat" in her words.

Director Xia followed Zhu Li into the box.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, and echoed, "Old Zeng, it's your fault. How can you let Xiaoshu spend money? It's all in the provincial capital, so I have to organize the game anyway, let me do my best as a landlord." Friendship."

Several people greeted each other a few words, and then took their seats in the tea room outside the box.

Zeng Hong, who was good at making tea, did his part to take the main seat, and Chen Shu sat on Zeng Hong's right hand as his assistant.

Just like when they met in the Provincial Department Building in the afternoon, Zhu Li nodded to Zeng Hong as a greeting, then pulled back the chair and sat directly next to Chen Shu.

Director Xia hesitated for a long time, watching Zhu Li chatting with Chen Shu, he pulled the chair on the left side of Zeng Hong guilty and sat down.

The tea in this restaurant, even if it is used to entertain the guests waiting before dining, is far more mellow than the good tea that Zeng Hong treasured.

The provincial capital is really not an easy place.

Chen Shu lowered his head and drank tea happily, but his thoughts were all on the tea. He looked like a steel straight man from the police, and made Zhu Li, who deliberately sat beside Chen Shu, so angry that he almost died.

Zhu Li rested her chin in one hand and played with the teacup in the other. She suddenly laughed and said: "Chen Shu, I heard that you solved another murder case when you went to Liuya to recuperate this time. You are really~ Conan physique, hehe, tell me Let's talk about this case."

As Zhu Li, who has a background of the second generation of officials, she worked as a first-line forensic doctor, which shows that she also has a very strong interest in investigating and solving cases.

oh!

Solved another murder case?

This brat, why don't you talk to me! What great promotional material!

Zeng Hong was taken aback, his hand that was as steady as Mount Tai couldn't help shaking, and the tea that had been sliding down smoothly spilled on the table abruptly.

Director Xia was also surprised by the word "you" in Zhu Li's words, which meant that this young policeman named Chen Shu had solved two major murder cases in a row. See, it should be a very confidential or private matter.

It turned out that the relationship between the two of them was indeed not simple. Director Xia took a peek at the smiling Zhu Li, heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced that the second-class work had not yet been approved by the director's nephew.

What kind of nephew is still a watch, put it aside first, put it aside first.

I have to find this young man to have a few more drinks tonight to make up for it.

If this can catch the line of Julie, the future is limitless!

Director Xia thought so.
