I come from the abyss

There are a variety of banquet programs and dishes, but no one puts their minds on it, they all regard it as a rare opportunity to socialize and quickly choose the target to build relationships.

Although they are all greedy for the Qingshan Project, they are self-aware, and they don't swarm around Huo Wenying and Zhao Xi's family. They just look at Huo Wenying in amazement, not knowing what the origin of the sudden emergence of the Xiangyang Group is.

"The capital of Hong Kong Island is both. Without trade-offs, it is hard to say that there is no trick."

"It's not like the style of the mainland. Although the Qingshan project is a project that has been abandoned once, the focus is on the surrounding construction in the later stage. I think it is to develop Xiushan District, closely link the cooperation between the two cities, and respond to the cooperative development of the Greater Bay Area later. The second project can be said to be a test of water, if it is completed well, other projects will be given priority.”

"...Will there be any collusion?"

"Hahaha...what are you talking about, brother." The person who started the conversation was cowardly, and quickly changed the subject after a haha: "Do you know the origin of Xiangyang Group?"

"I'm not sure, I just know that the capital is definitely not as good as Changhong Real Estate and Wanyin Industrial. I think once the winning bid results are announced, there will probably be a storm of public opinion in the industry."

"That's a joke."

"Surely there will be no splashes! Do you know who is behind the Xiangyang Group? Hong Kong Island Jiang's!"

"Hiss—Xiangyang Group has climbed a giant tree!"

The bosses of several small and medium-sized companies gathered together to gossip about the news in the gossip circle, and glanced at Huo Wenying and Zhao Xi in the banquet center from time to time, but at this time the crowd dispersed automatically, and it was Yu Hongying who came up to talk with the wine glass.

The distance is quite far, and the content of their conversation cannot be heard clearly, but judging from the expressions of both parties, the smell of gunpowder is quite strong.

At this time, a waitress walked by the bosses and was stopped. A small owner of a ceramic tile business took the wine on the tray. He glanced at the waitress by the way, and found that she looked pretty, so he moved his mind. His fingers slid across the back of the waitress' hand, leaving his business card behind.

The waitress smiled, rolled her eyes, scratched her heart and scratched her liver, and when it made the little boss's heart itch, she turned around and dived into the crowd like a fish, and in the blink of an eye came to the side of the three Yu Hongying who were in the confrontation.

Yu Hong smirked but didn't smile: "Mr. Zhao is very clever. Others think you are a dude. Unexpectedly, you are really good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. You have the demeanor of your father and your kindness."

Zhao Xi pursed his lips and smiled, knowing that it would be better not to be good-looking, because it is the worst thing for a woman to hold a grudge.

The waitress came over with a tray, and Zhao Xi smelled a sweet fragrance, which was faint at first, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but after a long time, the fragrance lingered domineeringly and stubbornly in his nose. cast a concerned glance.

Cheng Bei beside Huo Wenying took a glass of wine, and the waitress took two steps back, Zhao Xi suddenly felt melancholy.

Yu Hongying: "Winning the bid is only the first step in getting the project in hand. Afterwards, it will be difficult to complete a series of projects such as overall construction, greening planning, water conservancy, etc. I don't know how your regulations are on Hong Kong Island, but I know that the same Putting the set of regulations in the mainland may not necessarily work.”

Huo Wenying: "Mr. Yu has a good opinion?"

Yu Hongying shook her wine glass: "It may not be a good idea, but I have made full preparations for the Qingshan Project and started planning the corresponding work five years ago or even longer. If I had me, I would get twice the result with half the effort. Of course, without me, you might get twice the result with half the effort .”

Huo Wenying: "Does this mean a threat?"

Yu Hongying: "This is a conspiracy, and I made it upright, which is much more upright than your secretly forming an alliance." She tapped the rim of Huo Wenying's cup with her cup and said, "The cooperation is win-win, I just want to make money."

"Back then, five companies cooperated, but now three companies cooperate, and the same profit."

"What if we don't agree?"

"The unfinished building in Qingshan District will have to stand for another ten years." Yu Hongying expressed regret, staring at Huo Wenying and Zhao Xi and said in a low voice: "I have countless ways to drag you to death, don't expect the support of the government, they want to develop Qingshan District, I don’t have to ask you two, I just need to cut off your capital chain and wait for the offer.”

"Of course." Yu Hongying stepped back: "I still like to make money in a harmonious way."

Cheng Bei showed a disgusted expression. He knew that business competition was not going to be clean, especially in the past ten years in Hong Kong City, where all kinds of dirty tricks were used, but those tricks were not used in front of him, and Yu Hongying was in front of him. Faced with the threat, they are really afraid of it.

It felt as disgusting as swallowing a fly.

On the contrary, Huo Wenying's complexion remained unchanged, calm and unhurried, Yu Hongying was a little surprised, and then thought that if he could intercept the project from her, Huo Wenying would naturally have his strengths.

"Let's put aside the cooperation in advance, we must give us some time to discuss, right? Don't be in a hurry, the project has just started, and what changes will happen in the future is still unknown." Huo Wenying looked at the performance that no one was paying attention to on the stage, with a smile on his lips: "The scene Hundreds of people, no one appreciates the dancer, she will be lonely."

Yu Hongying pursed her lips, and only glanced at the stage for nothing: "Mr. Huo is sympathetic to the fragrance and cherishes the jade, he is a man of nature, and his actions are also of a style." Then she glanced at Cheng Bei who was following him, and there was something in her words .

Huo Wenying smiled: "Mr. Yu doesn't give way."

Yu Hongying frowned. The people around her were always right, but the public's evaluation of the private life of men and women was very different. Men called it romantic, and women called it promiscuous. She didn't think that Huo Wenying pointed out the chaos of private life to praise her for being romantic, so she fought back unwillingly. Come back, it's a small belly.

Zhao Xi felt bored when he heard them coming and going, and wanted to turn on the phone when he touched the phone in his pocket, but unfortunately the assistant was staring at him.

Huo Wenying: "I've never had much artistic talent. It follows my father, but my grandma likes Cantonese opera, and my mother danced classical dance when she was young. I went to see a dance with them. The name is very interesting, and it has the same name as a Hong Kong movie. , called "Rouge Button".

Yu Hongying was a little impatient: "No."

Huo Wenying: "The movie tells the story of a prostitute, and the dance performance is also a story of a prostitute. I am deeply impressed. There is a plot in it. The dancer's head falls backwards, and his body falls forward, like a hanging The headless female corpse that got up was blown left and right by the wind."

Zhao Xi couldn't help but gasped, touched his arm, and said it was too creepy.

Huo Wenying: "Is it creepy? It's not the metaphor of the headless female corpse that's scary, it's the prostitutes in the story, and those who persecute the victims in the story."

Zhao Xi forced a smile: "Haha, Mr. Huo is really...really," holding back for a long time, and said: "Treat the flowers and cherish the grass."

Huo Wenying looked at Yu Hongying: "What does President Yu think?"

Yu Hongying stared at Huo Wenying, unconsciously paying attention to the dance on the stage, as if she really saw a headless female corpse hanging on the dark stage, a layer of white hair and cold sweat aroused on her body, thinking of Qingshan Red Pavilion for no reason, thinking of the relationship with Hong The Qingshan Welfare Institute, which is separated by a wall from the museum, reminds me of the group of young and beautiful teenagers with delicate skin and tender flesh.

"Who are you!" Yu Hongying was a little frightened, cold sweat broke out from her nose, and felt that the room was a bit stuffy.

Huo Wenying: "The boss of Xiangyang Group, the person in charge of Qingshan Project, doesn't Mr. Yu know each other?"

The atmosphere in the room became irritable at some point, and the air was getting hotter and hotter, until someone couldn't bear to tear off his collar, and called the waiter to ask if the air conditioner was turned off, and then someone fell to the ground suddenly, screaming, and someone ran quickly He went to the door to seek help, but was horrified to find that the door could not be opened.

"The door is closed! We can't get out!"

"The air conditioner is turned off, the doors and windows are tightly closed, and the gates of the ventilation ducts are also closed!"

"What's going on? Where's the hotel manager? Forget it, call the police first."

"--No signal!"

"My cell phone has no signal, so I can't dial out!"

Squeak——The ear-piercing scratching sound spread throughout the room, and everyone couldn't help covering their ears. After four or five seconds, they became quiet again. When they looked up again, they saw a row of people standing on the stage, some in performance costumes, some in evening gowns Women, more men and women dressed as waiters.

They are generally handsome and beautiful. There are men and women, young teenagers in their early teens and twenties, and young men and women in their 30s. They all stand in the center of the stage expressionlessly. One of them is holding a microphone and suddenly raises his hand Fire three shots at the ceiling.

There were panicked screams throughout the arena, followed by a man in the middle saying, "Quiet."

Someone else screamed suddenly, and the man fired a shot in that direction, and the screaming stopped abruptly.

"Shh, can you keep quiet?"

All the well-dressed people squatted on the ground trembling, no one dared to make a sound, only a slight, frightened weeping sound came out quietly.

"Don't be afraid, we're not going to hurt innocent people, we're just here to recover a blood debt from some people. Now I need a reporter, a media channel to help us."

***

Two hours ago, Li Zan asked the Municipal Public Security Bureau to transfer the armed police. Cheng Weiping asked him to provide a valid reason. Li Zan could only give his guess, but Cheng Weiping refused to approve it.

Li Zan asked Tong Ju for help, but was directly rejected.

Tong Ju said that only the director of the Public Security Bureau can directly mobilize the armed police, and even he has to ask Cheng Weiping to follow the procedures step by step, and he cannot approve without a valid reason.

Li Zan: "Didn't you transfer before? At the seaport, I also notified you shortly. Didn't you also transfer smoothly? I also asked the Coast Guard for help. Why can't it work this time?"

Director Tong: "Have you ever thought about who was sitting as the director of the Public Security Bureau at the harbor?"

Sun Guihe, the [-]-year-old father who took shit and urinated for Li Zan.

Li Zan: "It means that my father and mother used to protect me, and I didn't have any face at all?"

Tong Ju was puzzled: "Have you ever had one?"

Li Zan: "Old Tong, now is not the time to make jokes, don't play tricks on me."

Tong Ju: "Who the hell is joking with you? Just a word, you can't mobilize the armed police without a valid reason, unless you can convince Cheng Weiping. But if you can convince Cheng Weiping, then you don't have to come to me."

Li Zan: "I hear your tone so gloating. The people who came to the dinner party tonight, no matter how big or small, are all important people, and accidents happen to all of them. You can't help it."

Tong Ju's tone suddenly became serious: "To be honest, you have been sent to the detachment, and I cannot be implicated."

Li Zan took a deep breath.

Tong Ju sighed: "You really have to solve it yourself. You can guess what happened tonight. Why don't you think about how to solve it? Don't ask us for help if you have nothing to do. You are about to retire at a very old age. What can you do for you? when?"

Li Zan pressed his brows together and discussed, "Isn't it the last time?"

Tong Ju: "There is no need to discuss it." After categorically refusing, he said casually: "Speaking of which, some of your Uncle Sun's students are on vacation recently, and they went to visit him yesterday, which is also intentional."

"Uncle Sun is a good person, and the students he teaches respect their teachers... When did Uncle Sun become a teacher and accept students?" Li Zan patted his head after being stunned for a moment: "Uncle Sun used to be an instructor of the armed police, and his students are also armed police— —I can’t move the armed police, but I can invite the armed police comrades who are on vacation to the dinner party!”

"Thank you, my dear old father." Li Zan smiled playfully.

Tong Ju: "I didn't hear anything, so I hung up."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zan dialed Sun Guihe's cell phone number, and before he could explain why he came, he talked about what students came to see him yesterday, his name and contact information, and finally he sighed. Yes, my memory is not good, and I complained that Li Zan didn't go to see him, and the old man hung up the communication willfully after he finished speaking.

Li Zan: "..."

This group of old foxes really understood all the plays.

The armed police happened to be on holiday, so it probably had something to do with Cheng Weiping.

Li Zan didn't understand the reason for their detours. He just didn't have much time to think about it. He called one by one, summoned twelve comrades from the armed police who were on vacation, and answered the request without saying a word.

Although there are only 12 people, all of them are elites.

Half an hour before the banquet started, twelve armed policemen took their positions. A total of eight people entered the venue mixed with the waiter, pianist and guest list. The remaining four people were outside the venue to check whether there were high explosives hidden in the hidden passage and whether there was an ambush for snipers.

10 minutes after the dinner started, the opening speech just ended and the winner was announced.

Li Zan blocked the sneaky Zhao Yanli at the corridor, and the latter covered the lady's bag with the video camera, and asked weakly, "What do you want to do?"

"I should ask you this. Do you have any big news tonight?"

"Isn't the company that announced the winning bid a big deal?"

"Lu Ji didn't come with you?"

"He met me by chance and helped me only once. How could he come with me?"

"The banquet hall is tightly guarded. You can't enter without an invitation. Beware of journalists. You can't get in without help."

"Is it related to Captain Li?"

"I'll help you."

"Been struck by lightning? Sexually changed? Or... what do you want?"

"I use you to lure Lou Ji out. He is a murderer. I am a policeman. If I catch him, I can do great things. Is there a reason enough?"

"...Barely enough."

Zhao Yanli's impression of Li Zan has always been that he is greedy for success, so he easily accepts this reason, especially now that she believes that Lou Ji is the murderer. The other party's notice states that he will commit a serious murder tonight. Maybe getting the headlines without causing heavy casualties would give her some peace of mind.

Li Zan is a policeman after all, so he should have some skills.

Zhao Yanli didn't mind being used, so she naturally used Li Zan without any psychological burden.

"Lou Ji told me that there will be a big news at 10 o'clock tonight, let me get it." Zhao Yanli bit his lip and said, "I plan to tell you [-] minutes before [-] o'clock, anyway, anyway, enough time for you to dispatch the police... I also want to find out the truth."

"Whether it's the truth or the heat, everyone knows it well. I also understand what kind of person you are, so I don't need to say more." Li Zan looked at his watch: "There are three and ten minutes before eight o'clock."

Zhao Yanli urged: "Then let's leave quickly."

Li Zan sneered: "For the sake of popularity, you are really not afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Zhao Yanli followed behind him with a cold face and silence, and suddenly said: "Do you understand the helplessness of the news reporter industry? Now that the self-media is developed, gossip entertainment is full of headlines, KPIs can't beat it, and even the compiled third-rate news can't beat it. Social news can’t compete with big media and official media, laying off employees and reducing funds every year, and there are so many media following you for ordinary local news to compete for traffic and popularity, do you know how difficult it is for local news media like ours?”

"Now even the official media reposts rumors without asking the truth, deletes them as if nothing happened when they are wrong, pretends to be dead when questioned, and continues to repost other news as if nothing happened after a few minutes, and will not apologize when they are forced to death. What about me? At least I What I pursue is the truth! At least the news I compile is never fake!"

"The truth? Never fake it?" Li Zan smiled with a smile on his face, and squinted at Zhao Yanli: "You have written a lot of manuscripts based on subjective speculation."

Zhao Yanli: "That's a reasonable guess."

Li Zan sneered, didn't bother to argue, showed the invitation letter, and brought Zhao Yanli in smoothly.

As soon as he entered the venue, he said to Zhao Yanli, "You can do what you want", and then walked around to observe the guests, and suddenly a Jiang Heng who was eating cake with a plate appeared beside him: "What do you see?"

"Fuck!" Li Zan was startled: "Are you sick?"

"Lovesickness." Jiang Heng stuffed him with a fork and made a little love: "One day is like three autumns. We haven't seen each other for three hours."

"Be serious." Li Zan took the fork and ate a piece of cake, which tasted like cheese.

"Xiangyang Group and Changhong Real Estate teamed up to get the project. Yu Hongying was black-faced all the time, and the conspiracy threatened Huo Wenying and Zhao Xi to let her join the team to play together. Huo Wenying's yin and yang told ghost stories, and Zhao Xi was frightened. During the period, Cheng Bei left for a while. Time, talked to a certain waiter. Before that, Cheng Bei and Huo Wenying had eye contact with a waitress beside them respectively."

Jiang Heng remembered something, and his eyes were playful.

"The waitress smells very special."

"tell me the story."

"Why aren't you jealous?"

Li Zan was indifferent.

"..." Jiang Heng touched his nose and said with a smile, "Her smell is very similar to Cheng Bei's."

Li Zan turned his head this time: "How do you know what Cheng Bei smells like?"

Jiang Heng swallowed the cake, blinked his eyes and said, "Passing by. That's not the point. The point is that the perfume on their bodies has poppy ingredients. Some men and women who sell their bodies in the Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle will generally use this perfume. The perfume on Cheng Bei and the waitress is rough."

"You mean, they're a gang."

"If the guess that there were two groups of people who killed Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao and attacked Yu Hongying is correct, then the identity of the other group can be determined."

"Cheng Bei..." Li Zan pondered these two words: "Qingshan Welfare Institute No. 72, Cheng Katie's friend."
