After a round of drinking, Wu Defu and Yao Cuo were already smiling. The solution of the case was more important than anything else. Once a case like this was solved, people were very happy. It was equivalent to solving three unsolved cases, and Mr. Bao would also laugh out loud. In addition, the belief in a cult
The disciples of the White Lotus Sect have captured them. They have all accomplished great feats and are about to receive rewards. This is a proud event in life, and promotions rely on such things to support their appearance.
Yao Cuo was filled with jealousy and sighed: "Master Wu, Mr. Bao is going to promote you to an official position again this time. You have to shoulder the blame for my troubles and don't let me eat the noodles alone."
Wu Defu was already a little tipsy. Tao Taoran said proudly: "It's easy to talk about, Captain Yao, I will take charge of this matter. Jin Erzi is also a lucky general. If you give him a little hardship, it will come in handy in the future."
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Master Wu, Captain Yao, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, people from Huangcun will come to the city beating gongs and drums to express their condolences and thanks. Jin Erzi promises to sit on the float in red and colorful clothes, and you will eat and drink for him.
We have to do it secretly, otherwise the yamen's face will be lost, and people will think that we are jealous of our talents."
Yao Cuo said angrily: "Grandma, I can't praise him in person, the brat will make things difficult for me." Even so, Yao Cuo's thoughts were the same as Wu Defu's. Li Guolou and Jin Erzi are lucky generals.
Solving this kind of case is a rare thing. If other cases are solved in this way, no one will be found alive.
Li Guolou knew in his heart that there would be several more bosses and detectives on the file who came to Huangcun to investigate the case. This trick of carrying a sedan chair was done openly here. Wu Defu was already in charge and told Yao Cuo this
This case requires the dispatch of a small team, that is, ten detectives. It is the captain's business to arrange the next steps for Yao Cuo.
Since it was a case solved by Li Guolou, his team was divided into five people, and Li Guolou also fell into the quota of three people. Li Guolou looked up and saw that his nine subordinates were all looking at him expectantly.
, Li Guolou said: "If we don't talk about these things tonight, let's have a meeting to study them tomorrow, okay?"
Yao Cuo rolled his eyes at Li Guolou and said, "Xiao Lizi, what can be learned about this kind of thing? You are not familiar with them now. Don't distinguish between relatives and draw lots for the first time. Only in this way can you show your fairness."
Li Guolou nodded and said: "Okay! I listen to the captain, you have no objection."
Ai Hai and Ma Dequan received fair treatment. They were very dissatisfied and could not express their inner thoughts. They could only say angrily together: "No objection, Deputy Captain Li."
Xing Yunfeng walked up to Li Guolou with a wine glass in his hand, looked at Li Guolou's appearance carefully, shook his head and said, "I really can't see what's different about you from others, maybe you're just better at pretending than me.
When I was young, I was a gunman, specializing in offending my superiors. Otherwise, based on my military merit, I would be the captain of the squad no matter what."
Wu Defu said with a smile: "Dad, don't put money on your face. If you had done well, you would have been wiped out by the Taiping Army long ago. Now you have to thank God for his care for you."
Xing Yunfeng was stabbed in a sore spot. He originally wanted to have a drink with Li Guolou, but now he turned his gun and headed straight for Wu Defu. The banquet was filled with laughter and laughter.
Lu Haikong was jealous with jealousy. He punched the table with his left hand and shouted: "Little Liz, how come your life is so good? This kind of luck can happen to you. There are no clues in the cases I am investigating. Comparing people with each other is so irritating."
Yao Cuo glanced at Lu Haikong, very dissatisfied, and said: "Vice Lieutenant Lu, since your luck is so bad, let Xiao Lizi help you next. The case is yours, so you can try to borrow Xiao Lizi's luck."
Li Guolou was surprised and delighted. With his qualifications, he could not even touch such a big case. Now, if he is squeezed into this case, what will be the result?
Lu Haikong originally wanted to make a great contribution, but after more than a month of investigation, he still had no clue. He could only say reluctantly: "Okay! Little Plum, please bring me your luck, and let's have a family reunion."
After speaking, Lu Haikong and Li Guolou clinked glasses together, vowing to take away Li Guolou's good luck.
Li Guolou couldn't hold back his joy and boasted: "To be honest with you, Mr. Hu, I don't have any other abilities, but as soon as I get to the case, I will have clairvoyance, so I can do anything to my detriment."
"
Yao Cuo sighed and said: "Hey, I originally had high expectations, but now I can only disappoint Mr. Bao. Even Little Plum has become boring. Who else can I fool?"
Wu Defu said anxiously: "You are not allowed to drink with Xiao Lizi anymore, man, serve tea! This pretty boy is drunk, and I will have him to support the scene tomorrow."
Li Guolou shouted: "I'm not drunk! I'm just passionate and want to solve big cases. Bodhisattva told me that there are ninety-nine and eighty-one big cases for me to solve. The cases I have solved now are only in single digits, etc."
When I reach double digits, I will become a monk!"
Yao Cuo shook his head and said: "Master Wu, Xiao Li is not drunk, but he is just going crazy with alcohol. Just let him vent his anger."
Ai Hai laughed and said: "I'll call Miss Chen next door to see if Xiao Lizi wants to be a monk?"
Amid loud cheers, Ai Gao left the private room with his legs, and Wu Defu sighed: "Hey;;;;;Xiao Li's drinking capacity has increased, but his wine quality has bottomed out. This is a disgrace to our Tianzihao brigade."
Li Guolou wanted to vent the passion in his heart and spoke big words without any hesitation, becoming the laughing stock of others. He was still at a loss and felt like every word he said was meaningful and mysterious like a monk. In fact, this was good.
Let Yao Cuo and Wu Defu feel warm to Li Guolou's true temperament. They should not put on pretense and expose their true colors, so others will not mention them.
Li Guolou said words that were hard to distinguish between true and false. Some were true to his heart, and some were exaggerated lies. Some were uncontrollable nonsense, and some were true. Anyway, there is no big or small banquet, as long as you don't speak ill of others or make fun of yourself,
Others won't think it's weird if you brag nonsense.
Having such a person at the banquet made everyone open their hearts and continue to talk nonsense. A group of people with a huge reputation were closely united and had a sincere temperament. Ai Hai finally invited Chen Xiangfang from next door to welcome him.
Let's cheer.
Li Guolou felt that the world was spinning, and the beautiful woman was so close in front of him, so he could no longer make nonsense, and said hurriedly: "You guys, you drink wine and I drink tea. We don't interfere with the water of the well."
Yao Cuo sighed: "What I said is right, Xiao Lizi has sobered up. Che Zhulun talked back and forth. Now he is at ease? Don't dare to make any tricks. You are so smart, how come you have no mouth?
Is the gourd gone?"
Others complained to Chen Xiangfang that Li Guolou had said some crazy things.
Li Guolou said anxiously: "Xiaofang, don't listen to their nonsense. I'm not drunk, I'm just a talker. Too much talk leads to mistakes, so don't mind."
Ai Hai cheered and said: "Oh, here's Xiaofang, so affectionate, I don't know how sweet the screams are behind my back."
Chen Xiangfang, who was also drunk next door, was pushed to Li Guolou. She no longer had any scruples and said softly: "Gentlemen, why are you teasing Xiaolou? Come on! I'll give you a toast. Anyone who doesn't drink is looking down upon.
I won't invite him anymore." After saying that, he picked up Li Guolou's wine glass, filled it with wine, and started drinking with more than a dozen officials. He drank three glasses in a row, which made all the officials look at him with admiration and said
"Xiao Fang" comes to the stage.
Chen Xiangfang didn't shy away from it and said openly: "I'm a martial arts practitioner. I just want to have fun making friends. From now on, let's go to my Bao Zhifang for a drink. Xiaofang will treat me."
Ai Hai looked at Li Guolou without hesitation and said, "Listen! This is the heroine. Xiao Lizi is hiding it for us, thinking we can't hear it. What do we do?"
"
Everyone cheered in unison: "Messenger of justice, defender of the royal family!"
Li Guolou murmured to himself, "Messenger of justice, protector of the royal family!" This is the driving force behind his work as a police officer. How appropriate to say it.
Wu Defu chuckled and said: "It's better for Xiaofang to go up to the table. From now on, when Xiaoli Zi ducks and burps, Xiaofang should be allowed to sit on the table, don't you think?"
Li Guolou was dismissed by everyone and looked at Chen Xiangfang with a giggle. In this situation, he was not very talkative and anyone could step on him.
The banquet and the drama ended together. Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang stood side by side at the door, respectfully seeing the guests off. They had no intention of avoiding suspicion, forgetting that there were still a group of people from the Anhui Association watching.
When Yao Cuo left, he said to Li Guolou: "I really asked you to help with the Lu Haikong case, not just nonsense at the banquet. Please pay attention to me. There are still arduous tasks waiting for you next."
With a double entendre, Li Guolou glanced at Yao Cuo, who was full of energy, as if he had changed into a new person, the eldest brother with fighting spirit and ambition.
Li Guolou hurriedly and seriously performed a military salute and shouted: "I promise to complete the mission. Please look at my performance, sir."
Wu Defu pulled Yao Cuo's lapel and sighed: "Captain Yao, why are you talking to him now? Little Plum is going crazy asking for help again. It seems the rain is not heavy enough. The young man is too angry. I wonder what happened to Little Plum at night?"
Pass."
A large group of senior men laughed together, looked at Chen Xiangfang next to Li Guolou with lustful expressions, and went home minding their own business.
It was inconvenient for Chen Xiangfang to stay for too long, so when the guests were almost gone, she left by car with Bao Zhilin and his gang. Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang didn't even say when they would meet next time, because they knew they had already met in person.
Together, there will be another date soon.
Li Guolou's two boxes were carried home first by Ma Yaozu. He and the restaurant owner were the last to leave Manhanlou after settling the bill. The lights on the street were dim. This was the busiest place in Dongdan Archway. The rain had stopped.
Yes, the stone road is still a little slippery.
Li Guolou touched the flintlock gun hidden in his waist, a gun filled with gunpowder. He had more and more enemies. From now on, when walking at night, monsters and monsters might jump out from somewhere. Hidden in the darkness.
Things were exposed by him, but his secret could not be seen through. His performance at the banquet won unanimous praise, which was the result he wanted. The more he drinks, the more confused he becomes, but there is also a benefit, that is, the more he drinks, the more he drinks.
Even the old fox Wu Defu can't see through his pretentious and exaggerated performances. In this world, only in front of the one you love can you not pretend. Li Guolou, who is good at disguise, followed the dim lights towards Hongchang Hutong slowly.
As he walked, someone seemed to be following him behind him, but Li Guolou remained the same and embarked on his way home.
