last case

Chapter 52 The 4 Arms of the Funeral Parlor 15

Xie Jibai was stunned, and was taken out by Tang Xin.

After leaving the door, Tang Xin smiled and said: "When you meet this kind of strike-up, just say that you have a partner."

Xie Jibai said, "There won't be a next time."

Xie Ji Bai really didn't want to come to a place like a bar for a second time. After walking out, he felt that the air in his lungs was fresher.

Tang Xin said with a smile: "In fact, not every bar is so chaotic, maybe some quiet bars are more suitable for you."

"No need." Xie Jibai said, "It's better for me to stay at home."

Tang Xin couldn't help laughing, and said, "So Xiaobai, you're still a bit of a nerd."

Xie Ji Bai is not used to going to crowded places, and even less used to someone suddenly running over to strike up a conversation like just now.He is not a person who will fall in love with someone at first sight, let alone understand what 419 is.

Xie Jibai said, "I'm just more principled."

Tang Xin raised his eyebrows.

Cao Longwei, who was standing beside him, coughed heavily, and said, "I said, two police detectives, have you forgotten me? Where are we going? Are we standing here talking?"

Tang Xin said: "Let's go over there, I think there are few people in the coffee shop over there."

There were very few people in the coffee shop, there were only two tables in total, and they made it to the corner.

Tang Xin ordered a cup of black coffee for himself, and asked, "Xiaobai, what do you want?"

"Whatever." Xie Ji Bai said casually.

Tang Xin said to the waiter, "A glass of pure milk."

Xie Jibai: "..."

He should have thought earlier that Tang Xin had plots against milk, so he shouldn't say it casually.

Cao Longwei asked for a glass of juice and said, "I'm not used to coffee."

Xie Jibai felt a little weak in front of a glass of warm milk, Tang Xin poured a bag of sugar into his glass and said, "Add some sugar for a different taste."

The milk here tastes good, it has a very pure taste, the milk is sweetened, and it is still warm, and it feels like it was back when I was a child.

Although Xie Jibai didn't say whether he likes it or not, but Tang Xin glanced at his expression and knew that Xie Jibai definitely didn't hate him.

Tang Xin smiled, took a sip of his own black coffee, and then set his eyes on Cao Longwei.

Tang Xin asked: "Mr. Cao, where were you when Kou Xin died?"

Cao Longwei knew that Kou Xin was dead just now, he recalled it and said, "Sleep at home."

The situation seemed a bit familiar. Cao Longwei said that at that time he was sleeping alone in the villa, and no one could testify to him.

Tang Xin heard this and said, "Actually, Mr. Cao, I think you should install more cameras in your villa, so that it may be more convenient in the future."

In fact, it is reasonable to say that Xie Ji Bai should come to ask questions.But Tang Xin knew that Cao Longwei was interested in Xie Jibai, so he didn't want Xie Jibai to speak up, so he took over the work.

Xie Jibai saw that Tang Xin asked in a decent manner, so he held his warm milk cup and listened, but didn't interrupt.

Tang Xin asked again: "Then Mr. Cao, have you noticed anything wrong with Mr. Kou recently?"

Cao Longwei shaved his eyebrows with his index finger in distress, and said: "To be honest, there are a lot of companies under my name. In fact, I don't care much. It was a rare trip to go there that day. I didn't do serious business. I just heard that Downstairs there is a Miss Mu who is quite pretty, so she went to pick up girls in the name of negotiating a contract."

Cao Longwei was honest. It turned out that he was going to pick up girls that day, and he didn't really want to negotiate a contract at all. He happened to meet Xie Jibai and Tang Xin who came to investigate the case.

"So..." Tang Xin said: "I really don't have any impression of Kou Xin or anything. I don't even know his face. I don't know if there is something wrong with him."

Tang Xin took out his mobile phone and said, "Then the next question, is Mr. Cao a board member of this charity?"

Cao Longwei glanced at the phone screen, scratched his chin and thought about it, and said, "Yes, there is such a thing."

Seeing that Tang Xin was about to speak again, Cao Longwei hurriedly said: "Wait, wait, if you want to contact this charity, it's useless to ask me. Otherwise, I should have the phone number of the person in charge, and I will give it to you. You call and ask. I usually take care of eating, drinking, having fun, doing business or such things, all of which are just a name, and I don’t ask questions at all.”

Tang Xin glanced at Xie Jibai, Xie Jibai suddenly said, "There is a shelter under this charity organization, not far away. Although Mr. Cao doesn't understand, can you take us to see it?"

"Shelters?" Cao Longwei said strangely, "What do you want to see in a shelter? Are you going to adopt a child?"

Xie Jibai didn't answer. In fact, Cao Longwei didn't really want to know, and said, "Since it was Detective Xie's request, of course I agreed, let alone going to the shelter, you just asked me to go with you to a place farther away. I am willing too."

Cao Longwei had a smile on his face, and it seemed that he was excited, and he looked at Xie Jibai with excitement.

Cao Longwei agreed to go with them to the shelter.They were shunned before, but if Cao Longviken followed them, they might be able to get in.

They planned to take Cao Longwei to the shelter again, and the three of them left the coffee shop.

Cao Longwei was very happy, leaned over to Xie Jibai's side, and asked, "Detective Xie, is this a date?"

"Mr. Cao is really good at telling jokes." Tang Xin said, "This is to assist in the investigation."

Cao Longwei: "..."

Xie Jibai said that the shelter is not far from the suburban road, but in fact it was just a nice rhetoric, the shelter is quite far from here.

Cao Longwei couldn't drive after drinking, so his car was parked in the parking lot next to it, a bright red sporty sports car.

Cao Longwei was still thinking that if he couldn't drive, let Tang Xin or Xie Jibai drive.Unexpectedly, Xie Jibai can't drive at all, and Tang Xin's car book will be a month younger to get it just after the test.

Cao Longwei couldn't help his eyelids twitching wildly, and said, "Wait, I have a solution. I'll call and call my driver over."

Xie Jibai glanced at his watch, it was getting late, and he might have to wait a long time for Cao Longwei's driver to arrive, so he said, "Let's take another means of transportation."

The buses in the city center were very crowded. Cao Longwei strongly protested taking the bus, and finally took a taxi to the shelter.

There was a little traffic jam on the road, and I drove for more than an hour.

Tang Xin thought that Xie Jibai's motion sickness was serious, but Cao Longwei was even more serious. He was forced to stop the car twice on the way.

When he finally arrived at the place, Cao Longwei's face turned pale, and he couldn't stand up at all, so he squatted on the ground after getting out of the car.

Tang Xin walked over, patted Cao Longwei on the shoulder, and said, "Mr. Cao, are you okay?"

"Who said the road is not far?" Cao Longwei gritted his teeth and said, "Is this all out of City C?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, not at all." Tang Xin said.

Xie Jibai looked at his watch and urged beside him, "Let's go in quickly."

Cao Longwei barely stood up and said, "What a dilapidated place, it's so dilapidated."

As they walked in, Cao Longwei said, "This is the first time I've come here. This charity organization should be managed by my cousin. It's too small. If you don't tell me, I'll forget it."

Xie Jibai asked: "Mr. Cao's cousin is..."

Cao's family is in business, and the business scope is very wide. Cao Longwei's cousin doesn't have much contact with him. He is also a prominent and important figure in Cao's family, and he is much more promising than Cao Longwei.

When they walked to the door, there was still the gatekeeper in the reception room.Seeing them coming again, the old man stepped out and said, "Why are you guys again? Didn't I tell you to come back next week?"

"What? Come back next week?" Cao Longwei looked dazed. He hadn't recovered from the motion sickness yet. Telling him to come back next week would be more painful than killing him.In the past, he always drove by himself, and he didn't feel Lu Yuan's motion sickness at all. It was the first time he experienced it today.

The old man said, "The dean is not here today."

Cao Longwei said: "Let's go in and have a look, is there no one else if the dean is not here?"

"Anyway, it just won't work," said the old man.

When Cao Longwei heard that he was on fire, he immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call without Tang Xin and Xie Jibai saying anything.

After all, this shelter is the property of the Cao family, Cao Longwei felt very humiliated, it was really shameful to be slapped in the face by a janitor in front of Xie Jibai.

He took the phone and didn't know who to call, and said, "Hurry up, I won't let you in. Is there oil hidden in it? I ran all the way here, and half my life was lost."

Cao Longwei talked for a long time, then hung up the phone, walked up to Xie Jibai frightened, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, wait for 2 minutes, someone will pick us up."

The uncle at the door thought that Cao Longwei was talking big, but he didn't expect that after only 2 minutes, a person came out in a hurry.

It was a woman in her forties who ran out quickly and said, "Mr. Cao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, why is Mr. Cao here?"

The one who ran out was the dean of the shelter that the old man said was not there today.

The old man was a little surprised that the dean suddenly ran out in person, but he didn't say much, and went back to the house.

The woman saw that there were two people beside Cao Longwei, and asked, "Mr. Cao, are these two...?"

Cao Longwei said: "My two friends, they want to adopt a child, please take us in and have a look."

"Oh, yes, please, Mr. Cao." The woman said quickly.

Cao Longwei gave a dignified "hmm", and seemed quite aura.He turned around immediately, and said to Xie Ji Bai courteously: "Let's go in."

The woman led the way, and the three men followed.

Cao Longwei said in a low voice: "Detective Xie, you see, we also know each other once, how about being friends? I always call you Detective Xie a stranger, and sometimes it's inconvenient, isn't it?"

"What's the inconvenience?"

Xie Jibai didn't speak, but Tang Xin spoke first.

Cao Longwei said in a low voice: "Aren't you here to investigate secretly? Is there any problem here?"

Tang Xin raised his eyebrows and gave him an extra look.

Cao Longwei said dissatisfied: "Mr. Tang's eyes seem to think that I am an idiot."

Tang Xin said with a smile: "Mr. Cao thinks too much."

Cao Longwei said to Xie Jibai courteously: "How about I call you Xiaobai too, okay?"

Xie Ji Bai frowned, and said tactfully, "It's not very convenient."

Cao Longwei was instantly disappointed, and when he turned around, he saw Tang Xin's unflattering smile.

Cao Longwei said, "Then why can he call you that?"

Tang Xin said: "Of course it's because my relationship with Xiaobai is unusual."
