Zhong Xian nodded, "The family supported the down payment."I am a house slave. "

"A rich second generation?" Police Officer Deng said with a smile, a little naughty, as if they were old friends.

"Absolutely not." Zhong Xian said, "Officer Deng's family background should be good. Tennis is a sport that burns money." After speaking, he immediately regretted it, and he checked Officer Deng's WeChat circle of friends the night before , Police Officer Deng would post photos of playing tennis every now and then.His words completely exposed his concern for Officer Deng.

Police officer Deng smiled and waved his hand: "That thing is so tiring." There was helplessness in his tone, as if tennis didn't bring him happiness.

"I'm interested in hearing the story about you and tennis." Zhong Xian said, "I'm going to dinner. Why don't I treat you. There's an ad for a good western restaurant, and there's an advertisement for a cow that only serves six steaks It's theirs." He pointed to the business district behind him.

Officer Deng shook his head: "I'm going back. You've thought about it and let me know on WeChat."

"Alright then." Zhong Xian nodded goodbye.

"When we met for the first time, you invited me to KFC..." Police Officer Deng said suddenly, "The first impression you gave me was very different from today's feeling." Officer Deng waved goodbye as he said, and walked quickly through the business Street, disappearing behind a crowd pouring out of the pizzeria.

Zhong Xian walked into the elevator alone, and after the elevator door closed, he punched himself hard on the head.When we met for the first time, he chose KFC and wore a cheap T-shirt bought three years ago, which proved to be unnecessary.Today he was unprepared, and unknowingly showed another side. Maybe Police Officer Deng would not notice the expensive color-blocking shoes, but other aspects are far from that stupid kid in KFC.I don't know if this will be a bug.

"What are you afraid of!" He said to his own reflection in the reflection of the elevator door, "He's only here for Xiao Zhu!"

In the early hours of the morning, Zhong Xian fell asleep.Because drank too much coffee and smoked a few cigarettes.It was hard to sleep, and I was drowsy and had a splitting headache.

He doesn't want to dream.But Meng never left him—he was driving, and a pair of eyes stared at him in the rearview mirror.Those eyes were half hidden by long bangs.He turned back hastily.

In the back seat of the car sat a man, the outline of his face hidden in the shadows at the rear of the car.Quietly, just watching him quietly.

It was this person, who seemed to be very familiar, but no matter what, he couldn't remember who it was.Can't remember at all.

A bottle of Penfolds 407 was placed on the light gray marble table, which was brought by Dake.

Dake's cousin runs an electronic components factory in Longgang District.This cousin suffers from insomnia and relies on drinking red wine every night to help her sleep.Dake took this bottle of Penfolds from his cousin.

This is the first time that Dake brought wine here. In the past, it was Zhong Xian's job to bring wine to the dinner of the two of them.

This habit has been maintained for a long time-drinking red wine when the two get together.The initial reason was that Zhong Xian found that his mind had become confused, and he attributed it to drinking too much liquor and foreign wine with his clients.High alcohol damages his brain and makes him forgetful.And it is said that red wine can nourish people.

"You are really weird today." Zhong Xian looked back and forth between Ben Fu and the triumphant Dake, and then took the bottle opener from the drawer of the wine cabinet and handed it to Dake. "A friend sent a case of red wine from Russia. Do you want to try it?"

"Russian red wine is not well-known." Dake skillfully fitted the corkscrew to the mouth of Penfolds' bottle. "Still drink my bottle."

"Pang——" There was a crisp sound of something breaking from the mobile phone on the table, which was the notification tone of a text message.Zhong Xian picked up the phone and sighed softly: "I haven't replied to that police officer yet."

"Did that Sir send you a WeChat message?" Dake hurriedly leaned over to look at Zhong Xian's phone, a pair of small eyes with single eyelids sparkled.

"It's an advertisement." Zhong Xian put the phone back on the table.

"Why are you hesitating. Aren't you curious?"

Zhong Xian said helplessly: "What good will come of being invited by a policeman? If you're curious, why don't you go for me?"

"If he is looking for me, I will definitely agree. You take me with you, and I will be happy to accompany you."

"Come on. I'm thinking about how to refuse, but I'm afraid it will look like I have a guilty conscience. What shall we eat later?"

"Northeast cuisine." Dake said, although he is from Jiangsu, he prefers Northeast cuisine. "It's okay if you really want to refuse. Xiao Zhu is just missing but not dead. It's no big deal."

"Northeast cuisine is fine." Zhong Xian objected, thinking about the taste of Dake, "There is a Huashenlong two streets away."

"I have a bad stomach these days, so I can't eat hot pot." Dake rubbed his stomach and said, "Drink this wine first, and I'll talk about it later, I'm not hungry yet. Do you think Xiao Zhu is really dead? With his character, he likes to brag and join in the fun, but within half a year, he disappeared without a trace, tell me. Is the possibility of death very high?"

Zhong Xian glanced at Dake: "Do you know Xiao Zhu very well? Shall I introduce that Sir named Deng to you, and you go to accompany him to handle the case? He loves reasoning so much!"

"Okay." Dake smiled happily. He turned the corkscrew to easily remove the cork from the Penfolds bottle, and then poured the wine in the bottle into the decanter.The crimson liquid poured into the glass vessel with a narrow mouth and wide belly, against the light gray marble table - this picture, Zhong Xian felt extremely beautiful.

"Strange, Sir Deng hasn't looked for you all this time?" Zhong Xian stared at the decanter and said.

"Could it be that you didn't take me seriously?" Dake was quite dissatisfied.Officer Deng did not visit him, making him feel slighted. "I dare say I know more about Xiao Zhu than you do."

"What secret will Xiao Zhu have?" Zhong Xian thought.

"You really don't know him. Although he seems to be incompetent, he has been thinking about it. When he was in the company, he was thinking about how to find opportunities to make private orders every day."

"Oh? Really? Have you ever succeeded?" Zhong Xian disagreed.Everyone knows that Xiao Zhu loves to brag.He boasted that he had worked on big projects before, but none of his colleagues believed him.

"Don't underestimate him." Dake raised the corner of his mouth and said mysteriously. "Although I don't believe it. He looks like a traitor. Who would want to cooperate with him. But it is true. He has really done it successfully."

Zhong Xian chuckled and shook his head, expressing his disbelief at all.

"It's true. A friend of mine has seen the evidence." Dake said,

"What evidence."

"There is a payment record for an item. The payee is Xiao Zhu."

"Really?" Zhong Xian settled down.He still couldn't believe it.

"Absolutely not wrong. This guy is incompetent and dishonest. Could it be that he accidentally fell into a pit while walking and was taken away by the sky? Hehe, ha." Dake smiled and took out two goblets from the disinfection cabinet , pour a small portion of wine from the decanter into two glasses.He took one of the cups and handed it to Zhong Xian.

"So anxious. I haven't woken up yet." Zhong Xian took the cup and shook the liquid inside, and immediately there was a layer of light red silk hanging on the wall of the cup. "not bad."

"Um, ha. Really have to wait for 45 minutes? I can't wait. What's the point of being poor?!" Dake said loudly, "Come on, do one first. For your and my freedom, for a new beginning." Said Just drink it up.

In the end, Zhong Xian failed to refuse Officer Deng.

In the afternoon of the next day, he accompanied Police Officer Deng to take the subway to Baishizhou. In the customer rest area of ​​PN Home Plaza, he saw Euro Airlines who was already waiting for them.

Zhong Xian still remembers the first time he met Ou Hang.That was three years ago, and he had just joined the company.

Ou Hang has a very good appearance, not inferior to movie stars, a bit like a mixture of Lin Zhiying and Leo Ku.Although he is not tall, only a little over 170, and a little thin, but he is the kind of feminine boy who is popular in recent years and pleases women.

Ouhang has an easy-going and enthusiastic personality.It left a very good first impression on Zhong Xian.However, it didn't take long for Zhong Xian to find out that his colleagues were talking about Ouhang behind his back.

Ou Hang got married in his early twenties, and his wife was very worried about him because of his handsomeness, so she often called to check on him.Ouhang is not good at work, and has almost no achievements. He has been in the company only because of his good looks and cuteness.It is said that he was in private contact with some older women, and those women would give him things, and the Apple 6P he used was given by a certain woman.

Zhong Xian did not tell Police Officer Deng about these situations.I think it's just gossip.And police officer Deng only came to investigate Xiao Zhu.

Eurohang sat behind a long wooden table, and not far away was the coffee table exhibition area where special offers were being offered.

"Hi, Mr. Zhong." Ou Hang first greeted Zhong Xian with a smile on his face.

They haven't seen each other for at least half a year. Zhong Xian noticed that Ou Hang was still wearing the same blue and white striped T-shirt two years ago, and his natural beauty couldn't offset the disheveled feeling of embarrassment.It can be seen that life is unsatisfactory.

"This is Sir Deng." Zhong Xian introduced to Ou Hang. "You really said that to the police? Don't care about other colleagues except me?"

Ou Hang took the initiative to shake hands with Police Officer Deng and asked them to sit down.Then he said, "Of course I don't care about Xiao Zhu's affairs. He's the kind of person who will get retribution for anything. I'm not afraid to say that in front of the police."

Zhong Xian shook his head, no matter how his colleagues commented, he actually didn't dislike Ou Hang, but he also knew that he should not be friends with.Ou Hang could have had a good life, but he made a joke of himself.

"Zhong, you helped me, you took me to do projects. I remember. But I also helped you, do you remember? We have a friendship, so...but
