murder begins in summer

It took 23 months to design a pair of rings, cut out the perfect facets, choose the perfect style, and build them completely. It took [-] diamonds before and after.

Only six of these 23 appeared in the final work, and many things have happened in the past year, but in detail, it is nothing more than the normality of this road, and more importantly, with the passage of time With the growth and the clearing of the industry, Shi Zhanyang felt more and more suitable for starting a family.

He received the pair of rings on a sweltering afternoon at the end of August. They were stored in a small safe. When he opened them, even if he was used to seeing good things, he really thought they were beautiful and couldn't find any faults.There is also a handwritten letter from the designer, a collection of manuscripts, and a stack of various collection certificates in the cabinet.

It was the old K who ran the errands, and Shi Zhanyang left him in the office by the way, and poured him a cup of Esmeralda coffee that he brewed by himself, and sat diagonally opposite him on the sofa, "Have a wedding, Do you have experience?"

Old K took a sip in fear and trepidation, lay down breathlessly, held the cup and said, "Boss, there really isn't one."

Shi Zhanyang smiled, "Then find someone who understands it! Find someone who understands it best, and you will help me as a supervisor, and be careful not to be stingy."

Old K thought to himself, the boss is here for real this time, and he must have a fight with the little sister-in-law. Although their brothers who have died have long been familiar with the relationship between the two leaders, he himself knows that the boss says one thing is the same. It's a real thing, but I still can't believe it. After all, once this marriage is married and spread on the Tao, it will be a big event that can overturn the sky.His boss has done a lot of great things in the past few years.

So he asked: "Boss, let me say something more, sister-in-law doesn't know yet."

Shi Zhanyang raised his eyebrows, "This is called a surprise."

Old K asked again: "Don't you think...it's a bit early?"

Shi Zhanyang didn't show any impatient expression. He thought about it carefully. Indeed, there are still a lot of messy things bothering Qiu Shili and himself. The Shi family is not almighty and stable in his hands. And those who are in power, their own power is too new, and sometimes their hands are tied, even if they got married the day before, the so-called "newcomers" will have to work hard the next day.

But for people like them, it's troublesome to cut off one, and then a few new ones, but marriage is a necessary ceremony, something he wants to give and wants to give Qiu Shili eagerly. Delay, [-]% will have to wait until the next life.

After so many years, Shi Zhanyang can be considered to understand this matter.

"It's not too early, I'm 32 soon, and your little sister-in-law is also 25. After a few more years, I will become a wrinkled old man, who is in full bloom," Shi Zhanyang laughed, with a layer of fluff on his face Gentleness, "It's not easy to take pictures at weddings!"

Old K also laughed, he was stupid, although the boss seemed to be very patient today, but he also tried to explain things clearly, "W-how can it be, brothers say you are just a flower now, you don't know , at the last banquet, the eldest lady of that family, whose family--"

"Hey, stop talking about Miss!" Shi Zhanyang interrupted him, and finally frowned, "I'll leave the planning and supervision to you."

Old K immediately stopped talking, the eldest lady is a bit of a surprise, he summed up his thoughts.

Finally, when Zhanyang finished raising his ideas, Old K started to work on it.The time is set to be more than half a month later, when everything will be fully prepared, and all Qiu Shili has to do is to receive a call from Shi Zhanyang, put on a beautiful suit, and rush to a nearby village without knowing it. In all the churches, you don't know that there is a wedding waiting for you until you open the door.

Two days later, Qiu Shili returned home from a business trip to the factory in the north. The evening was dark, and he shook off his exhaustion. He always felt that his eldest brother was in a good mood, so good that it was a little weird.The performance is that the eldest brother actually cooks a pot of red bean and glutinous rice porridge by himself. In addition to putting too much rock sugar in it and the taste is too thick, the consistency and heat are also impeccable.

Qiu Shili drank a large bowl in a few sips, biting the spoon and asked if something happened, Shi Zhanyang said something good, then filled him with porridge, and ate another bowl, Qiu Shili asked what was good again, Shi Zhanyang Zhan Yang actually replied, great news.

After that, I started chattering, trying to change the subject.

Nuomi is a very good thing, Qiu Shili was really full of drinking, and he had quite a problem with Shi Zhanyang's foolish attitude, so he punished him relentlessly in bed that night.

However, the next morning, it was not a good thing to wake him up.The elder brother has already woken up, smoking a cigarette standing by the window, the restless late summer sun is pouring down wantonly, the sound of cicadas is sparse under the exposure, and there is a commonly used laptop on the bedside, which is turned on.

Qiu Shili woke up completely, without saying a word, got up and took the computer, a piece of news was displayed on the screen, on the front page of a large news website, a photo of Shi Yizhou and a middle-aged man with brown skin and deep eye sockets were pinned to the headline respectively. sides.

The photo of Shi Yizhou is probably a recent photo. I haven’t seen him for a few years. He is very thin, and there is a logo of the head office next to it, which is blood red and blood red. This logo is very familiar to Qiu Shili. It is usually navy blue. Appeared on the top of the glass building in San Francisco, on the tail of the transport plane going to various parts of the world, and on the container of weapons.

As for the other man, Qiu Shili also knew him, the most rampant drug dealer in Mexico in the past two years, named Antonio, who used to be their regular customer, and now is Shi Yizhou's good friend.

And the title in the middle is:

Scandal Again? Hardware or Hard Drug? (Another scandal? Military industry or drugs?)

The font of the news is very large, the content is very short, and there is not much useful information. The whole article only talks about one thing: the largest military enterprise in the west of the United States is closely involved in the large-scale drug trafficking activities in Mexico, and has treated local women and children inhumanely. A wanted warrant was issued.

Some things are still very vague, just like for the media, Shi Yizhou can also be vaguely equated with the entire enterprise.

Qiu Shili took a deep breath, put down the computer and walked to Shi Zhanyang's side, "Treat him inhumanely."

"I asked someone to inquire, but I haven't answered yet," Shi Zhanyang crushed out his cigar on the window sill, and said coldly, "Probably let women and children transport drugs, otherwise Interpol wouldn't do this either."

Qiu Shili knows that drug transportation is not as simple as putting it in a bag and stuffing it into the sole of a shoe. Today's drug dealers will put the powder in a condom and let people swallow it. If the child's throat is too narrow to swallow, they will go through the back door. Stuff the goods into those fragile guts.

Apart from these, he has seen even more cruel acts.

"Recently, the border has been tightened, and they are crazy," Shi Zhanyang looked at the statue of the Virgin and Child in the center of the fountain downstairs, "I don't know how much the second brother participated."

Even though he already knew the answer, Qiu Shili still tried to ask, "Do you want to care?"

"Of course, this is also our business." Shi Zhanyang squeezed his hand vigorously, "Someone will come to us in the afternoon at the latest."

Qiu Shili didn't delay anything, and immediately made preparations. Whether facing the police, the public, public opinion, or his fucking second brother, he and Shi Zhanyang at least knew the basics.Although the family has been separated in these years, he has also left behind. As long as he wants to find out, most of the things Shi Yizhou did are not secrets from him.He soon got the news that apart from the long-term supply of guns and ammunition, Shi Yizhou was indeed involved in a drug trafficking activity that started four days ago.

Now he and that Antonio are huddled in a small town called Tijuana in northwestern Mexico. Their home in the middle of the country was taken by the police even in the early morning of the same day, but they are holding a large number of drug hostages and are dealing with the police.

Qiu Shili couldn't figure out what Shi Yizhou's purpose was, and what kind of temptation it was... It couldn't be money, which could drive him to take such a big risk and end up helping a drug dealer.

After all, he had been silent for a long time, so that Qiu Shili began to relax.

Qiu Shili also didn't figure out how to make up such a big hole on his side.

What makes him feel powerless the most is that many, many years have passed, Shi Zhanyang and him have given up too many benefits and experienced too many risks, just for a little peace of mind.It was said that Shi Zhanyang went crazy when he couldn't sit still in his chair, and many secretly said that they couldn't wash it off. Now, they really can't wash it off.

No matter how much money they donated, how many hospitals they built, and how many decent laboratories they funded, if anything happened, they would be the same as the guy hiding in Mexico in the eyes of the outside world.

And Qiu Shili really felt uneasy about those distant and dying women and children.

He knew that his eldest brother probably thought the same as himself.

However, the time left for the two of them to think about countermeasures is not long. Before the afternoon arrived, the police entered the house, and a large string of police cars came aggressively, parked in a haphazard manner in the elegant and quiet garden in front of the house, let alone There were twenty or so people, all dressed in casual clothes. The leader was a young police officer with blond hair and blue eyes, who proudly showed his ICPO ID card. He was a leader and called himself Brad. behind him.

Shi Zhanyang invited them to the sofa in his living room.

"Mr. Shi," Brad refused the herbal tea brought by the butler, and cut straight to the point, "Please don't be nervous. We understand that the company involved in this case has completely left your name and has no legal relationship with your industry. Relationship, you have also been committed to the production and research of legal armaments these years, and you have provided the police with a high-quality and stable supply of goods, so it stands to reason that we shouldn't bother you this time."

Qiu Shili stood respectfully on the side of the sofa, observing the officer Brad politely, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.Now this is quite nice to say, but the public opinion released by the police is not like that at all. It is what they want to let their company be hotly discussed and condemned by the whole world. Require.

As everyone knows, he has lined up upstairs with his own people, covering all three floors. Although he will not fight the police, he will not feel guilty anyway.

Shi Zhanyang just laughed at him for being childish.

Qiu Shili lowered his eyes to look again, his eldest brother still didn't look nervous at all, and looked at Brad with a smile, "After all, he is my younger brother, and also our former subsidiary company. If something like this happened, you should look for me .”

Brad showed a friendly and relieved expression, "Are you willing to help?"

Shi Zhanyang handed him the cup of herbal tea again, neither humble nor overbearing, "As long as it can help."

"Ah, thank you," Brad drank the tea honestly, the kindness on his face turned into distress, as if he was considering some unfeeling request, "It's like this, the current situation is a little special and urgent, the drug dealer's production The drug den is under control, and now we have a large force guarding Tijuana, but we need you to go there with us."

Qiu Shili thought, sure enough, my news was accurate, but he felt nervous unconsciously, while Shi Zhanyang nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Brad continued: "Your brother—no, the suspect, Shi Yizhou, asked to meet with you."

Shi Zhanyang still smiled politely, "Really."

"By the way, there is also Mr. Qiu, is this one?" Brad raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Shili.

"Hello." Qiu Shili smiled like his elder brother.

Brad nodded at him, "The time limit is three days later, before sixteen o'clock local time," he said, and handed the map to Shi Zhanyang, "In a natural cave in the mountains northwest of this town , He and Antonio trapped some women and children, a conservative estimate is 120, and they will tear up their votes as soon as the time limit passes."

"It's coming for me." Shi Zhanyang took a sip of tea, looked at the glass pot on the coffee table, and said unhurriedly.

Brad seemed a little embarrassed, "You have to remember, they're drug dealers, and they're taking hostages to sell drugs."

"Yes, I remember it very clearly." Shi Zhanyang raised his eyelids and looked straight at him, "I mean, if they only wanted to sell drugs, of course they wouldn't go to such lengths to meet me, the old den is not here It’s a waste of time to wait for me to pass. They can’t waste you.”

Qiu Shili knew very well that the elder brother was speaking in a calm manner, and Brad understood it, and nodded, "As long as we have the information you need, we will provide it to you."

"I want to know, why did Antonio risk helping him?"

Brad put down his teacup, "As far as we know, Antonio is also the target of Shi Yizhou's abduction. To transport drugs, leave the den, and leak the news to be hunted down, in our opinion, it is also a trap for Antonio."

Qiu Shili's heart was beating wildly, he gritted his molars and thought, for your mother's Antonio?This is obviously aimed at the elder brother... The purpose of the second child is to lure the elder brother over!I'm sure that big brother won't let the hundred or so lives go!

He really wanted to yell "We're not going" right now.

Shi Zhanyang laughed, "How many people did Shi Yizhou bring into the cave?"

Brad crossed his hands and put them on his knees. "We sent people in to check, but they couldn't come out. The information came out. There were about fifty gunmen, most of whom were of Asian descent."

Shi Zhanyang asked again: "Then did he say, how many people can I bring in?"

"Within fifty, it's for the sake of fairness," Brad said with embarrassment, as if he was ashamed of the obvious absurdity, "but the other party promised that as soon as you reach the outside of the cave, they will send out all the weapons, So I hope you don't bring weapons either..."

Shi Zhanyang laughed again, for this ridiculous promise, "Oh, it's really fair."

Brad wiped his sweat, "Time is running out now, we will do our best to ensure your safety..."

"Okay, I'll go." Shi Zhanyang suddenly stood up.

Qiu Shili's head buzzed, as if someone had slapped him on the head, and he almost yelled, only to see Brad jump up and shake hands with his eldest brother, as if afraid of repentance, "Ah! Thank you so much!"

Shi Zhanyang shook hands with him vigorously, and said: "But I will also go in with a weapon. I hope this will not break the law. I also hope that your police will be backed up outside. When necessary, go in to support me and protect the hostages." Safety. That's all I ask."

Brad opened his mouth, thought about it, and nodded heavily, "We will do our best to meet Mr. Shi's demands."

Shi Zhanyang patted him on the shoulder, his face was still warm, "Give me an hour to prepare."

Brad looked at his watch, "At the airport round at 03:30 pm?"

"Okay." Shi Zhanyang led him to the door, "Before that, please get out of my courtyard with your bell team."
