After becoming the group pet of the Public Procuratorate

Liang spoke again, interrupting Bai Ming's train of thought, "We want to know, what is your relationship with Wei Feng?"

The question caught him.

what relationship?The answer is that it doesn't matter.

Bai Ming thought to himself, Lu Wu must know, but why didn't he clarify for himself at the morning meeting.

He replied nervously: "Wei Feng, he hijacked me, other than that, it really doesn't matter."

A gust of hot wind blew outside the window, accompanied by the sound of the wind, Zhou Liang sternly reprimanded: "I advise you to tell the truth!"

That look was like a loaded gun, ready to pierce through the body at any time.

Bai Ming was startled, and only heard Lu Wu coughing, Zhou Liang retracted his sharpness just now, Bai Ming was puzzled, and quickly shook his head: "I really have nothing to do with him, I was just a newcomer to Jiangxi five years ago. college students in the state."

Zhou Liang still stared at him, as if looking at a criminal, "Then why did you beat Wei Feng in prison?"

Bai Ming was taken aback, then slowly repeated: "Beating?"

The memories in his mind that were filled with seawater seemed to evaporate into fine salt, no matter how the wind blew, they couldn't be gathered together.

Bai Ming couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the word beating. Based on his size and strength compared with Wei Feng, it is estimated that some people would believe that Wei Feng beat him in handcuffs.

The fragrance of magnolia was blown by the wind, and Bai Ming replied with a little confusion hidden in his tone: "Officer Zhou, I just pulled Wei Feng's collar, this shouldn't be counted as beating, and beating must be recognized? "

Zhou Liang saw that his expression of fear of himself had completely dissipated, like a defense lawyer in court, he asked again: "Wei Feng hid the body in your home five years ago, and happened to kidnap you that night, and you are still in prison. Seeing you, you found this corpse later, is this all a coincidence? Are you not suspicious at all? Did the two of you conspire to direct and act in this play?"

Not only for Yu Yihui, but also for Yu Yihui.Bai Ming had nothing to say about this reasoning, it was just an unwarranted accusation, he shrugged his shoulders, and said lightly: "Before you ask me, why don't you ask Wei Feng first."

Without the usual gentleness, Bai Ming looked determined at this moment, staring directly at Zhou Liang's eyes like a ray of sword intent, the wind stopped, and the magnolia condensed its fragrance.

Zhou Liang didn't speak anymore, he seemed to be interested, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. After all, the suspect's backer was also in the house. Before leaving with everyone, he said lightly: "Thank you for your cooperation. We will meet you when we have news. inform you."

Everyone dispersed together, and the last one to leave closed the door gently.

There were only two people left in the room at the moment, Bai Ming heaved a sigh of relief, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Lu Wu turned around, patted the table twice, and pointed to the empty chair opposite, motioning for the resentful little assistant to sit over.

Seeing this, Bai Ming's legs were obedient. As he walked towards the chair, he asked puzzledly, "Officer Lu, you actually doubt me?"

Lu Wu blinked his eyes twice, looked a little surprised, and joked with a little confusion, and said: "Little assistant, don't wrong me."

With anger in his eyes, Bai Ming said righteously: "I didn't wrong you. Wasn't Officer Lu summoning me today just to push and ask?"

Before the words fell, the door was pushed open again. Lu Wu was about to defend himself, but when he looked back, it was Wang Qian.

Wang Qian looked at Bai Ming in surprise, but said: "Brother, the director is looking for you urgently."

The business is important, so Lu Wu got up and walked out the door.

Seeing the back of him leaving, Bai Ming felt cool. It turned out that Lu Wu's enthusiasm for him in the past was just hypocrisy. In his heart, he still classified himself as Wei Feng, but this is not his fault, this It's the duty of the police, Bai Ming can understand.

Lu Wu got up and said to Wang Qian, "Take care of the little assistant, and I'll come as soon as I go."

Hearing this, Bai Ming also stood up immediately, and calmly said: "No need, if there is nothing else, I will go back."

As soon as Lu Wu walked to the door, he didn't know if he was angry when he said this, so he stopped immediately, turned around and told Wang Qian, "Don't let him go, I'll be there soon."

As soon as the deputy captain stepped forward, Wang Qian blocked the door. Seeing that Bai Ming was slightly dissatisfied, she thought about the conversation just now, thinking there was something wrong, so she asked, "Bai Ming, what happened?"

Bai Ming shook his head, "Nothing."

Obviously this problem is not small, Wang Qian said again: "Could it be that senior brother made you angry?"

Anger is not counted, Bai Ming is not so narrow-minded, but thinking that before Lu Wu deliberately approached him because he doubted himself, he inevitably felt uncomfortable.

He replied: "Officer Lu enforces the law impartially, and has always been dedicated to his duties. It is his job to make people angry. I was just thinking that since Officer Lu thinks that I have an affair with Wei Feng, it is fine to pass me on for questioning, but there is no need. The over-enthusiasm towards me made me mistakenly think that now the police are arresting suspects by calling them brothers and sisters, moving them with affection, and starting to take the route of probation.”

After listening, Wang Qian suddenly realized, she covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Then you really misunderstood senior brother, just now Team Zhou wanted to ask you for questioning, and it has nothing to do with senior brother."

Bai Ming turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.

Wang Qian leaned against the door gracefully, and said again: "Although the senior brother is higher than his official position, he is not considered his direct leader and cannot control him. The matter of renting out the house to hide the corpse is under the control of the Huai'an Sub-bureau. People follow the normal procedures to ask If you say it, the senior brother can't intervene."

While explaining, she took two cups of hot water, one was placed in front of Lu Wu's desk, and the other was handed to Bai Ming.

"Senior brother has always believed in you, and his kindness to you is also true, otherwise he would not let you sit in that seat, which is the exclusive position of the captain of the detachment."

Bai Ming lowered his head, glanced at the plain seat, and dared not sit down any longer.

"But the public security is like this. As long as you have a little suspicion, you will definitely be questioned in various ways. If the senior brother doesn't call you to come to the city bureau today, team Zhou will go to the Huai'an court to arrest you. Then you have to go to the Huai'an court to arrest you." It's not a good feeling to spend half a day in the inquiry room in the Huaian sub-bureau."

Bai Ming stayed where he was, and seeing Wang Qian bring a cup of hot water, he quickly stretched out his hands to take it, and kept saying thank you.

"Senior brother asked me to pick you up at the door early in the morning. He asked me to bring you to this office, where the air conditioner is blowing, you can sit on the sofa, drink tea, and Team Zhou has to come over to interrogate you in person. Forget it, he still has to look at his brother's face, and he doesn't dare to make things too difficult for you, senior brother can't control him, but senior brother can protect you."

The long whispers untied the knots in Bai Ming's heart instantly, and his slightly locked brows gradually relaxed. If Lu Wu hadn't been there, Zhou Liang would have broken into Huai'an Court with his men at this moment, and took him to the branch office to ask questions. If you say that, by that time, not only will you lose your face, but you may not even have the confidence to speak in this room.

Bai Ming's eyes were foggy, he lost all his strength, his head seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't lift it up anymore, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, as if the sun had been covered by the shadows in his heart.

"So it is."

Just when he was feeling ashamed, Lu Wu accidentally opened the door and walked in with a document wrapped in a brown paper bag in his hand.

Bai Ming's face turned red in an instant, and he stood where he was, a little embarrassed.

Wang Qian smiled before leaving, and said to Lu Wu: "Brother, I have made it clear, there should be no misunderstanding."

Lu Wu didn't speak, and closed the door smoothly, squinted at the red-faced man, sat back at the desk, looked at the hot water in the cup, and asked, "Did you pour it?"

Bai Ming lowered his eyes, rubbed his arms together, and said frankly: "Officer Wang fell."

Lu Wu said meaningfully: "I guess so."

"Well, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first." Bai Ming picked up his schoolbag, still avoiding his eyes.

"and many more."

This sound of retention made him take back his steps after he had just taken two steps. He was like a child who did something wrong, and he did what others asked him to do.

The lingering clouds are like strands of silk, floating in the sky, but unfortunately they are just passing clouds, which will be scattered when the wind blows.

Lu Wu took a sip of the hot water, and as soon as the tip of his tongue touched the cup noodles, he retracted his neck reflexively, twisted his expression, gasped for hot air, and said after a while: "Let me show you something."

This mysterious tone aroused Bai Ming's curiosity, he turned around slowly, and looked at the deputy detachment leader.

Lu Wu moved the cup to the table, said with a smirk, "Add some cold water for me, and I'll show you."

This step is just right, and it is a perfect timing to use Bai Ming when he feels ashamed.

Bai Ming hummed obediently, walked to the table, stretched out his hands to take the cup, but Lu Wu snatched it, and picked up the water that Wang Qian had poured for him along the way.

"That's all I said, the cup is hot, I'll do it." Lu Wu smiled very contentedly, he poured some cold water into the two cups, and then said in a warm voice, "It seems that I still have some energy in my heart, I have to tell you something happy."

Bai Ming has never been the kind of person who is justified and refuses to let others, and who argues unreasonably, but today he is in a mood of ups and downs, so he doesn't know how to communicate with Lu Wu, so he quickly replied: "No, no, I'm not angry ,I just……"

The words of apology were about to come out, but they couldn't continue.

Lu Wu handed him the water glass, motioned him to sit down, and drank it all in one go.

But Bai Ming just stood there, holding the cup, unmoved.

Lu Wu looked at him like a statue, and asked jokingly, "Little assistant, you don't drink water or sit in a chair. Could it be that Zhou Liang made you angry, so you don't like all the policemen today?"

"No, I didn't dislike you." Bai Ming argued aggrievedly, "It's just that Police Officer Wang said that this is the seat of the head of the regular detachment, and I, I dare not sit."

Only then did Lu Wu learn what he was worrying about, and he laughed loudly and said, "I said if you can sit, you can sit, and the leader of the detachment will not come anytime soon."

As he spoke, he picked up the kraft paper bag again, pulled out a document from it, and showed it in front of Bai Ming, "Just now the director came to me for this thing, come and see what it is."

Bai Ming took the document with both hands, and the dense black characters crawled all over the white paper like bugs. When he looked at the top of the watch, his whole body froze for a few seconds, followed by unbelievable joy, like a torrential spring river The water soaks the willows along the embankment into new green.

This is the reversal document for the Canglan Road serial murder case.

A few days ago, he and Mr. Zheng Ye had a headache thinking about the solution, but he did not expect that Lu Wu had already obtained the approval procedures quietly, and the evidence needed to reverse the case was the rented house that was obtained without any effort. The corpse case.

It turned out that Wei Feng had already planted clues for this.

Bai Ming's face showed joy. Since he was able to turn it over, it proved to be a good start. At least the police were one step closer to discovering the truth.

It's like a traveler in the desert trying his best to find water. Before he can find any oasis, the sky is raining like seawater.

A ray of hope amidst the perplexity turned into brilliance all over the sky, covering Bai Ming's side face, and the warmth in his heart was hotter than this blazing sun.

Seeing that he was full of surprises, Lu Wu also asked with a smile: "Can this thing relieve your anger just now?"

Bai Ming came back to his senses and smiled lightly, "I was wrong just now. I blamed you. I didn't expect the police officer to get the documents to reverse the case so quickly. I guessed right. The police officer has been looking forward to re-trialing the case. This thing , can I take it back to the court and show it to Mr. Zheng?"

Lu Wu thought for a moment, but did not speak.

This document is in the hands of the police, and it cannot be retrieved without a court order. If it is lost, Lu Wu will face the risk of being notified and criticized. If he is reprimanded for such a trivial matter, the gain outweighs the loss.

Bai Ming instantly understood his embarrassment. In order not to cause further trouble, he smiled dryly, handed over the document, and immediately said, "Actually, it's fine if I don't take it. When Mr. Zheng finds out about it some other day, he will report to the higher authorities." Requested."

"I'm just afraid that Judge Zheng will scold you. After all, he has always been rigorous in his work..." Lu Wu didn't take it, but replied calmly, "You have to keep it safe."

Bai Ming was overjoyed, and carefully stuffed it into his backpack, "Don't worry, things exist when people exist, and things exist when people don't exist."

Seeing that he was smiling so brightly, Lu Wu pointed to his water glass.

Bai Ming picked it up and drank it in one gulp. The water was neither hot nor cold, and even had a hint of sweetness. He didn't know if it was his psychological effect. Today's water is much better than usual.

The sunlight fell into his pupils, as if sprinkled with crystal diamonds.

17. Dinner

Lin Jiang, as a dandy, by virtue of his appearance, rich money, and that flattering mouth, naturally changed the person in his arms one after another. Such a romantic nature also showed that his words were never believable.

For example, in the matter of agreeing to send Bai Ming to work, he once swore that he would be able to do it, but the facts proved that his perseverance could only last for a week, and he couldn't get out of bed in the second week.

His two favorite things to do late at night are playing games and going to bars, no matter which one he can stay up until dawn.

But Bai Ming would never force him to send himself to work. He knew what Lin Jiang was doing. If he saw him still sound asleep in the morning, Bai Ming would sneak downstairs and ride his city bicycle to the nearby subway station first. , Then squeezed onto the train to rush to Huai'an Court.

In this way, not only the commuting time is long, but the carriages are also crowded, but although it is troublesome, it has an advantage, that is, it will no longer cause criticism.

In the past, whenever the luxury supercar stopped at the gate of the court, it would attract a lot of attention, which made Bai Ming feel very uncomfortable as a public official.

But Lin Jiang's parents have long been tired of Lin Jiang's living conditions, especially his mother, after learning that Bai Ming's work has changed to taking the subway, she scolded Lin Jiang bloody, from his style to Working day and night, she criticized everything that could be scolded. If Bai Ming didn't stop her repeatedly, she would only scold harder.

But Lin Jiang never cared about it. While being scolded, he still lived his comfortable life. At first, he also expressed some guilt to Bai Ming because he couldn't get out of bed, but his face was thicker than the wall after all. After two days, he simply It doesn't matter anymore.

What's more, Bai Ming felt that since he had already been sent to others, it would be hard to explain if he asked Lin Jiang to pick him up, and he felt very sorry.

Fortunately, Lin Jiang's laziness weakened Bai Ming's mood and solved the problem virtually.

Summer nights are like steaming fire, always windy and rainless, the city in the evening has the aftertaste of being scorched by the sun during the day, and the evening breeze blows slowly from the car window, sweeping away the boredom and heat of Jiangzhou.

The car was driving on the elevated road, speeding towards the city center, Bai Ming was sitting in the passenger seat, looking up, the night wind was pulling wisps of clouds, dragging white tails above the street lamps, he let himself go, enjoying the beauty of the night .

Lin Jiang held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and asked with concern: "Obviously, what are you thinking?"

His thoughts were pulled back from the clouds to the ground, he came back to his senses and said, "It's just to enjoy the scenery."

Lin Jiang wondered again: "What's there to admire, don't you see this street scene every day?"

The bright spots of street lamps shone in Bai Ming's eyes, and he lowered his head to look at the dress he was wearing. He knew that the day-to-day scenery only belonged to people living in Jiangzhou. He was different from Lin Jiang, who would never Lost such scenery.

He replied slowly: "If I leave here in the future, I will rarely see you again, so if you think you can take a look, just take a look."

Lin Jiang's mother took the conversation in the back seat of the car with Jiangzhou's local soft voice, "Obviously, don't think so, you treat us as your family and live here as long as you want. "

"Yes, yes." Lin Jiang's father, who was also sitting in the back seat, echoed.

Bai Ming can feel the sincerity of Lin Jiang's parents towards him, but he can't stay here to disturb Lin Jiang's family forever.

Lin Jiang also understood his good friend's temper, and knew that Bai Ming didn't want to be attached to others all the time, so he said affectionately: "It's a day to live a good day, don't think about anything else, it's hard for the cake shop to take a rest, tonight Let's eat well at the banquet."

But just after finishing speaking, Lin Jiang's mother hit him on the head with one hand, her anger was like fireworks flying into the sky, and she said angrily: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! When will you learn from Mingming, and you won't go to the construction site. I don’t even look for it, just go out and have fun outside all day long!”

"Mom! What are you doing? I'm driving." Lin Jiang yelled helplessly, but just as his mother was about to continue cursing, his father and Bai Ming hurriedly stopped him.

The car drove for a long time, and finally stopped outside a luxury hotel by the river. This building is only a few stories high, and it is not conspicuous in the forest of buildings in Jiangzhou, but there are very few buildings like this hotel. Magnificent, it looks like a palace, with a Western-style design style, the Hualou is surrounded by several curved waters, the wind blows the flowers, the duckweed is all over the ground, the red carpet is laid from the inside, and rolls down along the steps. The classical and luxurious atmosphere seems to be showing off to the whole city in a high-profile way. This is not a place that ordinary people dare to come to.

Several butlers opened the door of the supercar, and then bowed to greet everyone. This advanced service caught Bai Ming off guard, so he nodded and smiled, and followed Lin Jiang closely, very unnaturally.

When he looked up, he saw five big Chinese characters glittering in gold on the side wall of the building.

Liberation Hotel.

The name doesn't quite match his architectural style.

The host of tonight's banquet invited elites in the real estate industry, which naturally included Lin Jiang's parents.

Bai Ming didn't plan to come at first. After all, he had nothing to do with construction, so he wanted to find an excuse to turn it down, but it happened that the cake shop was on vacation, and Lin Jiang's parents were so enthusiastic. After he refused in every possible way, they still bit the bullet and came up.

Stepping into the revolving door, Bai Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes. The place is surprisingly large, with gold-edged murals inlaid on the marble walls, a circular stage in the center of the hall, and a fountain next to it. , flowers, and human-shaped statues similar to the Renaissance, the interior is gorgeous and spectacular, classical songs in small languages ​​echo in the hall, and there are pianists playing in real time, full of the taste of capital everywhere.

The most attractive thing is the European-style ceiling above the head. A huge crystal lamp hangs in the center. The shining diamonds are distinct, which makes the night no longer move in contrast. Surrounded by a din of voices.

The hall is already overcrowded, men in suits and leather shoes, women in gold and silver, these are people standing at the top of Jiangzhou City Pyramid, they are in small groups, almost all holding a goblet in their hands, talking about how many times billion business.

The tables were filled with exquisite desserts, the waiters were freely weaving among the crowd, and refilling them one by one with all kinds of wine, the splendor of tonight had nothing to do with them.

Bai Ming had only seen this kind of scene in movies.

Lin Jiang took care of his friends who had never seen the world. He casually took two glasses from the waiter's plate, handed them to Bai Ming with one hand, and poured some wine for him with the other.

Bai Ming held the swallowtail tightly, trying not to leave any wrinkles. He imitated the actions of others, and took a sip in a decent way. With a full mouth, he twisted his nose and stuck out his tongue, obviously not used to drinking.

Lin Jiang pulled him and followed closely behind his parents.Soon, a well-behaved couple came to greet Lin Jiang's parents. The four of them drank wine with each other and chatted happily.

Seeing that Bai Ming was confused about the couple, Lin Jiang lowered his voice and asked, "It was he who invested in the renovation of our Jiangzhou University, do you know?"

Bai Ming shook his head dully.

Seeing that he didn't know anything, Lin Jiang sighed, and said, "Then do you know the row of luxury real estate across the river? That's also the property of their company."

Bai Ming was taken aback, the real estate there could not be acquired without assets of at least nine figures.

Following Lin Jiang's parents, they went through most of the banquet. These businessmen dazzled Bai Ming. In Lin Jiang's eloquent introduction, he mentioned the general manager of a townhouse in the city center, the investor of the sky garden, and the real estate agent of a certain warlord family. The modern managers of the foreign concessions and the operators of foreign property rights in the concession a hundred years ago all met.

Bai Ming knew that the reason why Lin Jiang studied architecture was because his father hoped that he could inherit his own business and exchange information with these elites. Lin Jiang's company is also well-known in the industry, but Lin Jiang's parents are low-key and care about everything. I did it by myself, and didn't even hire a driver or housekeeper.

"Lin Jiang, what are the properties in your house?"

"They are all in the suburbs. Our family belongs to a new real estate industry. There is no room left in the city..."

Lin Jiang sipped the red wine in his glass and swirled it lightly without staining the sides of the glass, "However, there is still a piece of land in the city center that belongs to my parents, and that is Seven Star Market, one of the four major commercial districts."

Bai Ming has never been to the Seven Stars Market, a luxury place that mainly caters to high-spending people. He froze in place, and asked in disbelief, "Is it where the shopping mall with super large LED outdoor projection screens is located?"

"Yes, if anyone becomes my bride in the future, I will vote her up so that everyone in the city can see it." Lin Jiang smiled triumphantly, as if such a scene had already appeared in his mind.

The heat is hot, but fortunately there is plenty of cool air in the hall.At this very moment, almost all the entrepreneurs who built and decorated the city of Jiangzhou gathered at this grand banquet, drinking wine and making a lot of noise.

The red carpet on the soles of the feet extended to the central round platform, where the crowd was crowded and packed. Standing in the crowd was a middle-aged man who was similar in height to Bai Ming, but fat, a little bald, with a shiny face.

There are also two people standing on the left and right sides behind him, one is thin and sleek, with a smile on his face, and the other is tall and strong, with a serious face.

In fact, as soon as Bai Ming entered the hall, he saw these three people. They didn't need to move, and people would greet them continuously. The man at the head was dressed casually, and he was the most out of place in the dresses and dresses in the hall. One person, I saw him laughing and chatting every time, as if he didn't take this banquet seriously.

Just when Lin Jiang's parents came forward to toast with everyone, Bai Ming grabbed Lin Jiang and asked, "This person is..."

Lin Jiang blurted out, "Xu Teng is the host of this dinner and the owner of Jiefang Hotel."

Bai Ming nodded slowly, "Then what about the two people behind?"

Lin Jiang said again: "The respectful person on the left is his secretary, Yuan Rate, and the bald man on the right is his bodyguard, the Jiangzhou Sanda champion for three consecutive years, Wu Rong."

After hearing what he said, Bai Ming turned his attention to the two of them again. Yuan Late smiled very humblely, nodded and bowed to everyone who came to have a drink, but Wu Rong didn't even tilt his head, his face was stern, as if he was indifferent.

Lin Jiang seemed to have remembered something, and added: "Oh, by the way, they built the rental house where the murder case happened on Changchun Road."

Bai Ming was obviously stunned.

Lin Jiang continued: "To be precise, the real estate in the entire Changchun Road belongs to Xu Teng's real estate."

Bai Ming was surprised. In that case, the unfinished building at the corner of Changchun Road should be the same. Thinking of this, he felt a little familiar, and his brain was running fast. In his vague memory, it seemed that he had seen a story about this group before. Information.

His brain was like a book, he flipped through the pages, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that Zheng Ye had shown him a report in the Times Evening News five years ago about employees falling from a building, and that place was the unfinished building. building.

Fumao Group!

The name was pressed on his forehead like a seal, he looked at Lin Jiang, and slowly spit out the name.

Lin Jiang clapped his hands suddenly, "Yes, yes! It is still a big company with a high reputation, and Xu Teng is the chairman of Fumao."

"Big enterprise?" Bai Ming repeated, it would definitely not be easy for the chairman to invite so many prominent figures.

"It's quite big. Fumao is the number one real estate company in Jiangzhou, and Xu Teng is also the richest man in Jiangzhou. It's just that the real estate industry has shrunk and the Internet company has pushed him to the top, but he is still the leader in the construction industry. Take the lead."

Thinking of the unsightly old appearance of the rental house, Bai Ming asked curiously again: "But Changchun Road belongs to the common people's neighborhood after all, is it better than those real estate developers of high-end real estate?"

Lin Jiang pursed his lips and said: "At first glance, you are an outsider. Although other groups are vying to attack the petty bourgeoisie, the rich are a minority after all. On the contrary, Fu Mao, who takes the route of the common people, naturally many people buy it. Now, Fumao has almost monopolized the middle and low-end market, earning a lot of money."

This is a good statement, the one that can serve the majority of people is the real way to make money.

Xu Teng, Fu Mao, Changchun Road, Tanweilou, Wei Feng, and Bai Ming naturally connected all of these together.

Lin Jiang's parents chatted with Fumao's chairman for a long time. During the waiting process, Bai Ming looked around with his hands behind his back. To leave here, for such an occasion, he will never come again.

Just thinking of this, Xu Teng looked at the two of them.

His gentle and kind eyes caught Bai Ming's attention. He patted Lin Jiang who was in a daze, and said in a low voice, "I saw you."

Xu Teng said: "This is Lin Jiang, the son of the Lin family. I don't know if you still remember me? I had dinner with you before you went to college, and now I look mature."

Lin Jiang walked forward with a smile, and replied, "I remember Uncle Xu, I haven't seen him for some years."

Xu Teng continued to greet: "You have graduated now, are you also studying a related major in our field?"

"That's right, Uncle Xu, I'm studying architecture." Lin Jiang was generous and didn't have stage fright at all.

"The building is good. I can help your parents at the construction site in the future." After Xu Teng finished speaking, he grinned, but after saying a few words, he turned his head to look at a person standing not far away, and carefully looked at the building. Look, his expression is still.

Lin Jiang's father hurriedly introduced: "This is my son's college classmate, borrowed from my house..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jiang was afraid that he would hurt Bai Ming's self-esteem by saying that he would excuse him, so he took the lead and said, "This is my good friend, Bai Ming."

Bai Ming stepped forward hurriedly, and also smiled, like a hundred flowers spewing out halos of light.

It wasn't until he got close to him that he realized that Xu Teng's eyes were bloodshot and dull, and the frequency of his eyes closing was also fast and slow, and they even met occasionally. conform to.

He suppressed the tension in his heart and said, "Hello, Uncle Xu, my name is Bai Ming, Bai in the daytime, and Ming in tomorrow."

Xu Teng's smile became ugly, as if forced out, but soon he returned to nature, and asked again: "Do you also study architecture? They are all good pillars."

Bai Ming shook his head, glanced at the secretary behind him, Yuan Shu, and looked away, "No, I don't study architecture."

Xu Teng was puzzled, and asked with a smile: "Is that real estate management? Civil engineering?"

"I study law."

The sound is clear and bright, like the wind passing through the forest, and the drizzle falling into the new pond.

As soon as the words fell, Xu Teng's smile froze again, and his right eye twitched a few times, but Bai Ming noticed this extremely subtle change.

"Law, that's a good major, are you working now?"

Xu Teng didn't ask Lin Jiang about his work, but instead asked Bai Ming, which made him puzzled, and replied: "I'm working, at the People's Court of Huai'an District."

"Then you must know Zheng Ye."

Bai Ming said without hesitation: "I am his assistant."

Yuan Rate's expression was no longer smooth, but a little sluggish, while Wu Rong, the Sanda champion at the side, glanced over and stared at the little man in front of him.

This series of reactions made Bai Ming faintly uneasy, and he didn't know where he said something wrong, which caused the other party to stare at him.

Xu Teng turned his head and said to Lin Jiang's parents, "The children are all promising, which is very good."

In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, Bai Ming immediately asked: "Uncle Xu, do you know Mr. Zheng?"

Xu Teng lowered his head again, his smile lightened, and he said slowly: "We have contacted before, but it was a long time ago, and we are not very familiar."

Bai Ming wanted to continue the cliché, but Yuan Shui stepped forward, stopped Lin Jiang's parents, and signaled that they still had many guests and could not continue the conversation with them.

Xu Teng turned around and greeted other entrepreneurs.

The topic was forced to stop, Lin Jiang pulled Bai Ming out of the crowd, and said, "I never thought you and Xu Teng could have a relationship."

This joke didn't arouse Bai Ming's thoughts. He was just thinking about the scene just now. It was just a few words, but it seemed to have been discussed for a long time. , asked: "Do you know what happened to Uncle Xu's eyes?"

Lin Jiang turned his head and glanced at the crowd, "He, I heard that he had an eye disease and underwent surgery, that's why his eyes are like that."

Bai Ming was still deep in thought after listening, his eyes were deep and far away, like the endless black night sky.

Lin Jiang held up the goblet, touched Bai Ming lightly, and said, "Mingming, don't think so much, I brought you here today to relax, come and drink."

Seeing that Bai Ming was unmoved, he casually picked up a piece of dessert from the table and handed it to Bai Ming's mouth, "If you don't want to drink it, you can try the desserts in this restaurant. You are working in a cake shop. You can taste it, the afternoon tea in this hotel is very famous, and it is said that the desserts are also excellent, how about this butterfly cake?"

The sun is scorching, and Jiangzhou is falling.

Zheng Ye always arrived at the office half an hour earlier than Bai Ming. Today, when he saw Bai Ming's eyes were darkened and his face looked listless, he asked casually, his tone was very light, but he didn't really care, "What's wrong? Why is he so listless? Don't want to see me?"

Bai Ming dragged his exhausted body, his gait was light and down, as if he had drunk a few cups of soju, he sat down on the chair, almost collapsed on the table, he straightened up like a spring again when he heard this, and clarified: "No No, it's just that the weather was too hot and I couldn't sleep well."

However, he didn't want to mention that he attended the real estate developer's banquet at the Jiefang Hotel last night. This top-notch and luxurious dinner was held until late at night, and it was three o'clock in the morning when he and Lin Jiang's family went back to lie down.

Zheng Ye squinted his eyes, pursed his lips, and said in disgust: "You don't have the sequelae of not being able to turn on the air conditioner since you found the dead body at the air conditioner vent?"

It seems that the news of the public security, procuratorate and law are all exchanged. His teacher Zheng has already learned about this matter, which makes him not know what to do next, so he can only smile awkwardly, "No, no, I just forgot to open it."

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and was about to turn over the document in his hand, but a question haunted his mind until now. He asked curiously, "Teacher, do you know Xu Teng?"

When Zheng Ye heard the name, he looked a little unhappy, and said without thinking: "If you are talking about the boss of Fumao Group, then you know him."

Bai Ming thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Are you familiar with him?"

"Unfamiliar." Zheng Ye spoke very coldly. He raised his head and stabbed his assistant sharply. "He just fought a few lawsuits in our court."

"A lawsuit?" Bai Ming asked suspiciously, "May I ask what kind of lawsuit it is?"

Zheng Ye pushed down his glasses, his pupils shrunk slightly, as if shooting out two sharp edges, "What do you do with this, does it have something to do with your work?"

Bai Ming waved his hands in shock, "It's okay, it's okay, I, I'm just curious."

The atmosphere was a bit serious, Zheng Ye seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to him, so he lowered his head, picked up the file, took out his pen and began to explain in detail.

This topic seemed to end here, and Bai Ming couldn't wait for the answer, so he had to look down at the large and small files on the desktop, and began to sort out today's work.

The cool air from the air conditioner blew in, and the room was silent. Within a minute, Zheng Ye spoke again, breaking the boundless silence.
