Whether or not there is anything about Infernal Affairs is another matter. Yan Jue did not forget the purpose of his chance encounter. After talking about the interesting things about Granny Fang, he followed Uncle Hu's words and asked about the only other woman in this vegetable field. bit.

"Does Grandpa Fang like to grow flowers? I received two pots of orchids from others not long ago. I heard that these things are very delicate."

Yan Jue didn't feel guilty at all, pulled out two Clivia plants that had a longer flowering period than wild flowers and were stronger than plastic flowers, and slipped away.

He half-truthfully said: "I don't have any experience in growing flowers. I can raise a cactus to death. I'm afraid that I will accidentally spoil my friend's heart. I read those long stories on the Internet that are cloudy and foggy. Where to find someone who understands flowers and ask."

"orchid?"

Uncle Hu doesn’t like to grow flowers, but he knows people who love to grow orchids. Seeing that Yan Jue is about to go astray, he quickly dissuades him: “If you ask about orchids, you can’t find Lao Li. He likes those who are tough and easy to raise Flowers, and have you seen all kinds of roses over there, he loves roses alone, and doesn’t care much about others.”

"If you want to grow orchids, I'll introduce you to some amateur experts. If you ask Lao Li, it's called sending flowers to a dead end."

Yan Jue responded to Uncle Hu's introduction to his flower friends, put on a curious expression, and asked persistently: "You said just now that you should be careful with Grandpa Li's flowers. Why? I see that there are also traces of being cut. Isn't it because he loves flowers that people are not allowed to touch them?"

Uncle Hu shook his head, and there was some inexplicable meaning in his eyes in a trance, making it hard to see: "Those flowers were cut by himself, and his wife likes roses the most, so he planted them himself and cut some. Go back and put it in a bottle for his wife to see."

"Grandpa Li is so romantic." Yan Jue really didn't expect Mr. Li to come to the nursing home with his lover, and he joked casually: "When I came, I saw Grandpa Li playing chess with someone under a tree. It was so hot in the afternoon. , his wife didn't take care of it?"

"His wife died four years ago."

Yan Jue was dumb, and said sorry in a low voice.

Uncle Hu gradually closed his smile, and said in a clear tone: "Xiao Yan, we don't know why you young fellows in good health came to the nursing home, after all, it was approved by the higher authorities, and we also believe that you will not What a bad heart."

"No matter what you are here for, we will cooperate and will not go into it, but Lao Li's situation is really special."

"He and Mei Mei have a deep love, and they have endured a lot of hardships along the way before they finally got married. At that time, they were no longer young, and they were in their 40s before they put on the wedding clothes they dreamed of. Therefore, Mei Mei After leaving, Lao Li has never been able to come out, it was us old guys who had spent a long time getting him to the nursing home, and wanted to take him to play and chat, and let him look away."

"So if you have anything to ask, feel free to ask us, feel free to bother us, we will actively cooperate. Lao Li will also, as long as you don't mention Mei Mei in front of him, he only has this minefield."

A sudden straight ball hit Yan Jue at a loss, coupled with the meaning of Uncle Hu's words, he felt a lot of guilt almost in the blink of an eye.

He lowered his head slightly, struggled a few times and said in a murmur, "I really don't need to be so serious, we just borrowed it and have no special mission. I was just curious..."

"Well, I'm curious." Uncle Hu said so, with an expression that didn't seem to believe.He rolled his eyes, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, if you are curious, just ask us. We have no taboos, we can say anything."

Yan Jue pursed his lips, not knowing how to convince the other party that they really came to borrow.Uncle Hu's last sentence obviously did not believe his extremely simple, but it was really a truthful rebuttal.

Things obviously started to go in another unknown direction. Uncle Hu forced him to give him a name for a secret incident to be investigated. Yan Jue felt that he couldn't control it, and he didn't have the confidence to ask "calmly" about Mr. Li. I had to find an excuse to leave.

Little did he know that after his figure disappeared around the corner, Uncle Hu walked up to a certain window with a smile and knocked on it. After the curtains were drawn and the window opened, he stepped on the stool below neatly and was supported by the people inside from the window. stepped in.

Looking at the decoration and equipment, this is the activity room of the nursing home, and at this time there were seven or eight people crowded in the room. When Yan Jue was there, so many people did not make any noise to make him aware of the abnormality.

Li Huaiqing, one of the protagonists that Uncle Hu and Yan Jue talked about just now, was also inside.

Uncle Hu smiled complacently: "Hey, I have gained a lot today. I don't know which unit Xiao Yan belongs to. I'm too defensive. I'll have to talk to his leader later, so that I don't get caught again next time." People cheated with a little trick."

Of course, the bitter trick is used to gain Yan Jue's favor and his "knowledge".

Li Huaiqing stared at the words, pointed at Uncle Hu and scolded: "You still have the nerve to say, you don't feel this bitterness if it doesn't happen to you, do you?"

"Don't pay attention to these details. Didn't you approve all the bitter tricks, and I didn't mess around." Uncle Hu plausibly said: "Don't say you regretted it now."

He is not someone who casually tells the private affairs of his old friends.

Li Huaiqing snorted: "Just your embellishment... Huh, then tell me, what did you ask?"

He agreed with Lao Hu to use it, but he didn't let him make up so much, he almost couldn't recognize himself.Of course, only he knows how much of that expanded experience matches his original state of mind, and how much of it is guilty.

"As soon as Xiao Yan came to look for me, I knew he was going to talk to me. He didn't even think about it. Since he entered the nursing home, he hasn't left the door. He doesn't like to chat with people like Xiao Zhang. Come to me suddenly, how can it not be suspected..."

Someone interrupted him and made a gesture of covering his mouth: "Okay, okay, let's get to the point."

"What's the rush?" Uncle Hu cleared his throat: "The point is, the purpose of their coming here has nothing to do with us, they are not here to investigate us."

"What do you want to say? Anyone with eyes can see it."

Besides, they are all in the same social circle, who is not the former official protection target?They are old, and they have not lost their vigilance. If there is something wrong with someone inside them, they can find out without others coming.

What they wondered from the beginning to the end was why Yan Jue's strange combination of three young men, an ordinary man, a Taoist priest, and a soldier came here.

The topic started, and everyone started talking in a hurry:

"I also asked my daughter, and he said he didn't know."

"I also asked, my family obviously knows something, but just can't say it out, it made me scratch my head."

"At first, I thought it was because they were in poor health, or they had suffered some injuries and needed recuperation, so I chose our place. But after observing them in the past two days, none of them are walking like flying, and there is nothing wrong with them."

"Yeah, why do they want to live here? If something happened, maybe only three people were sent here. I even went around the village, and there was really no one else."

"I'm not happy, did you really come here to relax?" Li Huaiqing sneered, "If you can't find the reason, then it means there is no reason."

Old God Hu said: "It may have been like this before, but since last night, it's not necessarily so."

Everyone looked at him together: "What do you mean?"

"Think about why Xiao Yan came to talk to me today? I'm watering outside every day, and I've known them for a long time. Why is it today?"

"And I just had a quarrel with Lao Li in the morning, and he came to me. That can only mean that it has something to do with what happened last night. They started to pay attention to the situation of the people in the courtyard, so they came to me to talk to me."

Speaking of this, Lao Hu couldn't help complaining: "Xiao Yan's speech skills are too low-level, he followed me the whole time, he asked me whatever I said, and there was no sign of taking the initiative to bring up other things, and I don't know the end Should he be called shrewd or stupid."

From his observation, Yan Jue is just an ordinary person without training, so the latter possibility is only possible.

"Last night? About the tiger barking?"

They had long been accustomed to Lao Hu's poisonous tongue, and after automatically ignoring his comments on others, they asked, "Speaking of what happened yesterday, do you have any news?"

Of course there is no news.

"You had a quarrel with Lao Li? Why did you quarrel and attract people?"

Li Huaiqing kept silent, and Lao Hu said calmly: "The helicopter came yesterday, so I suspected that the matter was not simple. It might have something to do with those three people, so I pretended to argue with Lao Li about whether it was a tiger in the mountain or not." , I believe he does not believe it, and see how Xiao Yan reacts."

It is absolutely impossible for the people from the animal protection department to come by helicopter. It can only be the military who can come so quickly. Combined with Wen Xuyang's identity, it is easy to guess who summoned him.

Moreover, the incident happened suddenly last night, and no one easily continued to sleep. In the middle of the night, anyone who cared about the movement of coming and going in the corridor could detect some clues.

"Wen Xuyang can't see anything, Xiao Yan is too easy to guess." Lao Hu sighed again: "Normal people should be curious, but when we quarreled, only when Lao Li said that he firmly believed that there were no tigers in the mountains, Xiao Yan It was only then that his expression changed from being on the sidelines as if nothing had happened to coming out to smooth things over, which clearly tells me that he knows the inside story."

"Speaking of which, Lao Li, are you deliberately using this to scold me? It's already agreed to let you act with a script that you don't believe in. I wonder why you got really angry in the end? I'm not stupid, of course I know that there can be no beasts in the mountains."

Li Huaiqing felt guilty, and said loudly: "Who got angry? I'm good at acting. Don't go off topic, can you use your words for real business? Why keep talking about other things, to prove that you are very good?"

Everyone in the room agreed with this statement.

Lao Hu had nothing to show off, so he could only continue to say: "What are you talking about? It's gone. Just now he took advantage of the situation and asked me why only Mrs. Fang and Lao Li couldn't move in the vegetable field. After I finished speaking, I wanted to lure him Ask further, and he ran away."

"However, I use my previous decades of professional career to guarantee that it is definitely related to what happened last night, so they will come to investigate us. Maybe it won't be long before they will show their purpose openly."

"That's it?" Someone booed him: "Then why do you need it?"

"Aren't you curious why they came here? My job is to investigate this. It was a small accident yesterday." Old Hu was dissatisfied: "Even if the small accident is resolved, will they tell you why they came? There is a relationship between the two. .”

"You guys are amazing, go ask yourself and see if he tells you."

He snorted loudly, looked angrily at a group of guys in the room who were throwing away after use, and really wanted to go up and argue with them.He was obviously moving towards their original goal all the time, and it was fine for these few people who just listened to the news and did nothing to be distracted easily, but now they are still doubting his ability.

What did Lao Li say? You can question his bad math, but you can't question his bad chess?He is the same, you can question his vegetable growing skills, but not his ability!

At this time, Li Huaiqing came over and asked in a low voice: "Old Hu, Xiao Yan, did you tell me where the little Taoist priest who was with them went and whether he will come back?"

"Didn't I say that Xiao Yan ran away before the chat started, I don't know."

"You must have said something to scare people away, right?" Li Huaiqing said firmly, "Your fault."

Old Hu choked, and retorted: "Yan Jue is too scared to ask what has anything to do with me. Most people should follow my words and ask. He is fine. I just said that we are willing to cooperate with the investigation. Just ran away."

Isn't it normal to keep asking, how can you blame him.He didn't want to admit that he stumbled on Yan Jue, who he thought was an ordinary person, and misunderstood the mentality of the other party.

At this time, Lao Hu didn't know that Yan Jue had already told him the purpose of their visit, but the purpose was too inconspicuous and too ordinary. Yan Jue himself was a little guilty because of guilt, and all kinds of coincidences forced him to treat them as I made an excuse and didn't take it to heart.

Lao Hu asked back: "Why do you care so much about that little Taoist priest? Then you want to join Taoism? Lao Li, you want three or four. Thinking about your status, the religion is not something we can believe in."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Huaiqing was about to die of anger: "Put your professional habits away, and stop thinking about things."

"Then why do you care so much about Xiao Zhang?"

"Can I just ask casually? I won't tell you anymore. I'm going back."

Old Hu listened thoughtfully to Li Huaiqing's back, looked at his back, stroked his mustache and didn't say much.

Upstairs, after Yan Jue told Wen Xuyang about Li Huaiqing from Lao Hu, he collapsed on the sofa and said, "How dare I ask Grandpa Hu in this situation?"

He didn't have any feelings for Li Lao's emotional experience, but he knew what is human nature, and then made his behavior reasonable based on these instead of just ignoring and stabbing people with knives.

"If I ask what's unusual about Mr. Li, will they think that Mr. Li is missing his lost lover again, causing them to worry? Whether it's an oolong or not, they will definitely make them mention his lover in front of Mr. Li. It will definitely be another sad event.”

"Brother Wen, do you have any good ideas?"

Wen Xuyang stared at Yan Jue who had just expressed a lot of emotion with complicated eyes, and said hesitantly, "Do you know what Mr. Hu used to do?"

"What?" He didn't even know what Grandpa Hu's name was, so how could he know his previous occupation?

"Hu Zhengfeng, once worked in a certain intelligence department."

Yan Jue didn't understand: "Very powerful, then what?"

Wen Xuyang sighed: "It is impossible to hide your little thoughts from Mr. Hu. He has said so, and it is obvious that you should ask him."

Then get the answers he wants based on what you ask.

They came here without any purpose other than to cultivate the truth that they couldn't say to the death, so he was relieved to let Yan Jue get in touch with the other party, so that he could find out about Li Huaiqing's anomaly as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that after listening to Li Huaiqing's touching story, Yan Jue would feel guilty and dare not ask any more questions.

Yan Jue froze, sat up from the sofa and couldn't believe it: "So, he said that on purpose just now? What about Mr. Li..."

"Old Li's wife did die four years ago. I don't know much about the others. There is no need for Mr. Hu to lie to you. But it is very likely that Mr. Li agreed to this matter, otherwise he would not Let me tell you in such detail, just go to the end."

Wen Xuyang thought for a while, "Maybe he just wants to win your favor."

"Elder Li agrees?" Yan Jue was even more shocked: "Didn't you say that you can't propose in front of Elder Li? Why use Elder Li's affairs to gain my favor?"

Wen Xuyang: "..."

Yan Jue was convinced: "So he is still lying to me."

How could he play with a group of old foxes?Still investigating, it's fine if someone doesn't check him out.At this moment, Yan Jue felt that he had become a social fear, and urgently needed someone to stand in front of him and make up his mind for him, and it would be best to directly replace his work.
