The horse lit a cigar on his way back.
He likes to smoke cigars. He thinks smoking them like this is particularly impressive and in line with his status as a Tianjin horseman.
When he saw Meng Shaoyuan, he took a strong puff and blew out a thick puff of smoke:
"Looking for Mr. Ma, what do you want?"
No matter where he goes, Mr. Ma will always look higher than his head, no matter how good he is to you in his heart.
"Master Ma, brother, I'm in trouble." Meng Shaoyuan was not polite to him: "I have to ask Master Ma for your help."
"Say, Mr. Ma has to see if we can do it." Ma Guilu took another puff of his cigar: "We from Tianjin Wei can collapse a mountain with our spit. We will do whatever we can, and we agree to do what we can't." Is that still a man?"
Meng Shaoyuan asked directly: "Do you know about the Huamei Pharmacy case?"
"I know, who in Shanghai doesn't know."
"Can I see Xu Jigao?"
"That little bastard?" Ma Guilu hesitated: "You can see it if you call me. Why, are you interested in this little bastard?"
"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I want you to help me bring a few words in."
"explain."
"Tell him that someone helped him to overturn the case. He didn't kill his brother!"
"Ah?" Ma Guitu's eyes widened: "Meng Shaoyuan, are you okay? The evidence in Xu Jigao's brother murder case is conclusive and irrefutable. How can the case be overturned?
I know you are capable, but the location where the case is being interrogated is beyond your sphere of influence, and it is not a place where you can do whatever you want. "
"It's no different. This is still Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "As long as I am still within the scope of Shanghai, I can do whatever I want."
"Sure, I obey you." Ma Guitu gave a thumbs up: "You, Meng Shaoyuan, are a great person, Lord Ma, I will help you with this!"
"Master Ma, thank you." Meng Shaoyuan cupped his fists and said, "When the task is completed..."
"Shaoyuan, Master Ma's mission cannot be completed." Ma Guilu interrupted him: "Don't comfort Master Ma. This mission will only be considered completed if Master Ma is dead."
Ma Guilu's voice was filled with self-deprecation, sadness, and even a bit of loneliness.
…
As soon as Detective Huo Shiming got home, he took off his heavy leather boots.
To be honest, although leather boots look majestic, they are really tiring for your feet after wearing them for such a whole day.
His wife is a primary school teacher named Ban Suzhen, and she can be considered well-educated.
The meals are all ready.
Huo Shiming picked up his rice bowl and was about to eat when there was a knock on the door outside.
"Let's see who opens it again. It's a chaotic time right now." Huo Shiming made a special statement.
Ban Suzhen responded, opened the door halfway, and saw a strange young man outside the door: "Who are you looking for?"
"From the court, come to Detective Huo to ask about the Huamei case." The young man also took out his ID.
Ban Suzhen turned around and said, Huo Shiming was a little impatient: "Why is it another Huamei case? Are you bothered? Let him in."
Ban Suzhen then closed the door, opened the safety chain, and opened the door again.
Huo Shiming was still complaining: "The case has been handed over to your court a long time ago, why do you still come to us?"
The young man didn't need to be greeted by others and sat down in front of Huo Shiming: "Inspector Huo, my brother is not from the court."
Huo Shiming's expression changed and he looked at the coffee table, where his pistol was placed.
The young man knew what he was going to do and smiled: "Inspector Huo, you can't touch me with force. If I lose even one hair, your whole family will not be able to survive."
Huo Shiming asked solemnly: "Juntong's, or No. 76's?"
Those who dared to say this in front of him, the detective, were only these two organizations.
"Brother's boss is in Chongqing."
As soon as the young man said this, it was equivalent to revealing his identity.
Huo Shiming breathed a sigh of relief: "I have never done anything that Chinese people should not do. Even if I interacted with No. 76, I was under orders from my superiors. It was all official business."
The young man smiled again: "I'm not here to fight with you today, but I'm here to ask you to do something."
"Doing business?" Huo Shiming asked politely: "What's your surname?"
"Meng."
"Meng?" Huo Shiming was surprised: "Which Meng?"
"Meng Shaoyuan's Meng."
Huo Shiming was shocked and said to his wife, "You go into the room first."
Ban Suzhen hurried back to the bedroom.
Huo Shiming stood up: "Are you Mr. Meng Shaoyuan Meng?"
"it's me."
This answer made Huo Shiming frightened.
How did I provoke this evil star?
If Meng Shaoyuan is being targeted, what good things can happen?
"Don't be nervous, Inspector Huo. I told you, this time, I'm here to ask you to do something. Please sit down."
Huo Shiming sat down carefully: "I wonder what Mr. Meng wants me to do?"
"You were responsible for the brother murder case at Huamei Pharmacy, right?"
"Gorgeous?"
Huo Shiming was startled.
Although this case caused quite a stir in Shanghai, what does it have to do with military reunification?
He did not dare to ask the doubts in his heart, but replied honestly: "Yes, this is what General Manager Qiao asked me to be responsible for. I am mainly responsible for interrogating Xu Jigao."
"Tell me carefully."
"Yes." Huo Shiming did not dare to neglect: "Not long after I interrogated him, he confessed everything. In fact, he accidentally killed his brother. Originally, in this kind of case, the murderer would be sentenced to ten years at most.
The problem is that now this incident is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are involved. It seems that Xu Jigao cannot convince the public unless he is sentenced to death. "
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "This is what my brother asked you to do..."
He stated his request.
When Huo Shiming heard this, his expression changed again: "Mr. Meng, it's not that my brother won't help, but it will make me lose my job."
"How much money can you make a year as a detective?" Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Including the filial piety of others, how much can you make by extorting money?"
After Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, he took out a check from his pocket and slowly placed it on the dining table: "This is enough for you and your wife to live for a lifetime."
As he said that, he picked up the food in the bowl and put it in his mouth, chewing it and said: "Your son is still in school and lives on campus. He comes back once every weekend, and your wife picks him up.
You said, what if they get into a car accident on their way back one day? "
Huo Shiming shuddered.
These spies are so ruthless, what can't they do?
He thought there for a while: "I have a request."
"explain."
"It's over, send our family out of Shanghai."
"It's easy, I agree." Meng Shaoyuan agreed: "Wherever you want to go, just say it, I can satisfy you.
Detective Huo, I regard you as a friend and I trust you. But if someone doesn't treat me as a friend and let me go, my brother will turn his back on him. "
"No, no." Huo Shiming said in a winning voice, "I will definitely show up on that day."
"That's good, farewell." Meng Shaoyuan stood up and said, cupping his hands.
