crime profiler in the dark

The humble house is located in the bustling commercial center of TMX City. With only three floors, it is incompatible with the towering steel forest around it, but the exterior layout is very palace-like, and it looks magnificent.The interior springs are even more gorgeous. The first floor is a lobby decorated in red and black with a strong Chinese style. The tables and chairs are arranged reasonably, which effectively uses every inch of space without making people feel crowded; the second floor It is a private room, and the private room of the humble house is very distinctive. The names of the private rooms are all named after various dynasties, and the springs and service personnel inside also restore the characteristics of the named dynasties.In addition, guests can also choose sideshows, such as silk and bamboo performances, Yingge Yanwu, wrestling, sword dancing, etc.; the third floor is the banquet hall, which is only used for wedding banquets, meetings and other private rooms.

The humble house, which has never closed to welcome guests even on New Year’s Eve, is now closed for three days, which is rare, because Ms. Lu Xielei, the chairman of the humble house catering group, passed away three days ago at the age of 72.

On the last day of the funeral, nearly [-] employees of Humble House Catering Group gathered on the third floor to hold a farewell ceremony for the remains. The third floor was originally a banquet hall, but today it is decorated as a mourning hall. They are all top-quality coffins. Inside lies Lu Xielei, the chairman of Humble House Catering Group. Lu Xielei has a peaceful expression. She is wearing a traditional shroud, with her hands on her chest, and she is holding her favorite prayer beads during her lifetime. , above the coffin is a huge photo of Lu Xielei when she was alive. In the photo, she showed a kind smile and looked at all the living beings below meekly.

Everyone attending the funeral wore solemn black dresses. They looked dignified, and many of them secretly wiped their tears. They bowed to Lu Xielei's body in groups of five, and gently placed the white chrysanthemums that had placed their mourning On the coffin, on the left side of the coffin, Lu Yaming, the granddaughter of Lu Xielei, the heir of the Humble House Catering Group and the future chairman, bowed back to them, and the two sides bowed to each other before the ceremony was completed.

In addition to the employees of the humble house, there are also people outside the group who came to the memorial service, such as suppliers, partners, competitors, and politicians who want to form an administrative and business alliance with the humble house.

There are only two months left until the autumn general election, and the election situation in TMX has entered a stalemate. The current Mayor Yu and the heads of major departments are all re-elected. During their administration, there was no major fault. The challenger brought difficulties. Although some food safety problems were exposed some time ago, Mayor Yu responded quickly, dealt with the responsible person in time and recalled all the problematic products. The major media sang praises for his execution ability. A lot of points were given to him, and the Chief Superintendent appointed He Guangzhong, a former senior detective from the FBI's Investigation Support Section, as the director of the Baihu Police Station, which made the public feel that Mayor Yu was going to promote the reform of the police system, and he also agreed with this. It is quite supportive, and this move has cleared some obstacles for Mayor Yu's re-election.

Major current affairs commentators have predicted that there will not be much change in this election, but the seats of the National Assembly are still inconclusive.

Unlike the United States, which has the Senate and the House of Representatives, TMX City has only one National Assembly. Members can submit bills to the National Assembly. Half of the members agree to pass the bill and hand it over to the government for implementation. At the same time, they can supervise the ruling party and criticize the government’s behavior. Most of the congressmen are occupied by people from both parties, and the two largest political parties in TMX City have reached a political agreement in private. They will not expose the other party's dark inside story, after all, no one is clean.Therefore, the National Assembly has long been useless, and the bills passed every time are trivial matters such as how many seconds should be set for traffic lights, speed limit signs, speed bumps, etc. in a certain place, which cannot touch the rotten foundation of the city. .

One of the people attending Lu Xielei's funeral this time was Xing Hongming, who was running for National Assembly.This person used to be the Chief Police Superintendent of TMX City. He immigrated to Canada with his family six years ago. He returned to China suddenly this year and announced his candidacy for the National Assembly. He has nothing to do with the two major political parties. Even if he is elected, he will be alone. Bo, it is impossible to have any real power at all, and since he announced his candidacy, he has spared no effort to win over business people, which is really puzzling, but currently there are not many business people who have formed a political alliance with Xing Hongming , more in a wait-and-see state.

Lu Yaming had been in contact with Xing Hongming alone earlier. For various reasons, she expressed to Xing Hongming that she wanted to take back the management rights of the group from her grandma, but at that time Xing Hongming felt that she had no real power with Lu Yaming. It was not profitable for the little girl to cooperate, so she found an excuse to shirk, now that Lu Xielei has passed away, and Lu Yaming is the legitimate chairman, so Xing Hongming rushed over like a hungry dog ​​smelling a bone.

After the farewell ceremony, Xing Hongming took advantage of Lu Yaming's free time and squeezed to Lu Yaming's side without losing the opportunity:

"Yaming, are you exhausted these days?"

Lu Yaming shook his head, saying that he was not tired.

"A few days ago, I wanted to talk to you about the previous proposal. I haven't been busy yet. I didn't expect... Alas, if you need help, just ask, just ask!" Xing Hongming shook his head and sighed, while touching Lu Yaming's left arm looked like an old man who cared deeply about his juniors.

"Thank you, Uncle Xing." Lu Yaming thanked lightly.

"Ah Yi." Xing Hongming said to his assistant Tian Yi, "Miss Lu must have a lot of things to do these days, so you can help her by her side." Then he said to Lu Yaming : "Yaming, although Ah Yi is not up to the mark, he has helped me with many things and has some experience. If you are new to the company's people and things, it will be much better to have someone of your own to help you."

Lu Yaming's face showed embarrassment. She had some unpleasantness with Tian Yi before, and she really didn't want to be alone with him.

"Miss Lu, your business is mine. If there is anything that needs to be done, tell me." Tian Yi smiled politely as if nothing had happened.

Lu Yaming frowned, she pursed her lips, and hesitated for a moment: "Then, all right."

Xing Hongming smiled with satisfaction.
