"Where's Brother Xijiu?" Zhuang Shikai sat on the sofa and tapped the table with his fingers. After Brother Luo poured tea for him, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He didn't care about the accounts in Lei Luo's chat. First of all, he is not short of this amount of money. Secondly, he is the one who least wants to take money among everyone. In this way, Brother Luo's very important "reimbursement" is irrelevant in his eyes.
I glanced around and found that "Chen Xijiu" and "Lard Boy" were not in the living room, so he asked a police officer next to him.
At this moment, he knew that Lardboy should be out handing out fees, but what was Chen Xijiu doing?
Detective Li from the West District, who was sitting next to him, had his legs crossed and a cup in his hand. When he heard the inquiry, he responded calmly: "Tsk, Chen Xijiu."
“That guy is brushing abalone!”
The sound of sparse running water could be heard from the kitchen in the living room. Mrs. Lei and Chen Xijiu were preparing dinner in the kitchen, and the faint sound of brushing abalone could be heard.
Zhuang Shikai nodded as a response to Inspector Li and thought to himself: "Inspector Abalone turns out to be brushing abalone."
"Fuck, that's so fucking reasonable, I actually forgot about this."
As for the detective from the West District next to him, he had never seen him before, but he had heard about his reputation.
A Ze from the West District is also a big shot who dares to fight and rush forward, and relies on his strength to rise to the top. People with his personality hate flattering dogs like Chen Xijiu the most, and they would definitely not look good on Chen Xijiu.
However, he actually admired Zhuang Shikai, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to answer Zhuang Shikai's questions.
And he hates flattering dogs like Chen Xijiu the most.
Of course, he will not look down on Chen Xijiu. After all, everyone has his own means of survival. Chen Xijiu's ability to become the detective of Shau Kei Wan means that he has good abilities.
Even if his ability is to brush abalone, the abalone must be very clean!
"Crash." In the kitchen on the left side of the first floor of the villa, Chen Xijiu wore an apron around her waist and held a brush in her hand, vigorously rubbing a double-headed abalone the size of a basin.
Under the friction of the brush, the abalone relaxes back and forth, the tender meat curls, and the fine sand and dirt in the shell and meat are brushed away.
Bai Yue'e stood in front of the gas stove, started the fire and asked, "Xijiu, who is the person who just came in? I haven't seen it before."
Among the detectives in Lei Mansion, only Chen Xijiu has a good relationship with Luo Ge and his family. Only he could have a good relationship with Bai Yue'e. Anyone else's life would be in danger if he talked too much.
Chen Xijiu finished brushing one abalone, then picked up another one, and said with a smile while brushing: "Yes, Zhuang Zai, a newcomer that Brother Luo admires recently, the new Causeway Bay Inspector."
"His marksmanship and skills are very good, and his brain is much sharper. He can help Brother Luo a lot. I can't compare with him."
Double-headed abalone does not refer to abalone with two heads, but refers to the size of the abalone.
The bigger the abalone, the more expensive it is. If a pair of abalone can only make up one pound, it is the top-notch "double-headed abalone".
Bai Yue'e, as the daughter of Zeng Chengzhai, is the wife of Inspector Zonghua. He has enjoyed the best living conditions since he was a child, and he has been used to seeing the ups and downs in the world since he was a child.
Even though she wears a headband now and looks like a housewife, back then she was a hot girl who dared to lead hundreds of thugs to dig out people's eyes just by whistling.
She was unfazed by the departure of Inspector Zheng and the rise of the new Inspector. She mixed the soup and said, "Okay, my surname is Zhuang, right? He is very handsome, and he is a thing that harms women. Anyway, as long as he is As long as I can help A Luo..."
"Xijiu, actually you don't have to put yourself down too much. You are also a detective, and in my opinion, you are much better than them... at least you are a good person."
"Hahaha." Chen Xijiu chuckled twice and said, "I just rely on Brother Luo to take care of me, others rely on their strength."
"Sister Bai, let me chop some ginger for you and make the soup more delicious later."
Chen Xijiu said that almost every detective was stronger than him.
But in fact, no detective is stable enough for him.
But considering the position of a detective, being praised as a good person is the same as being called a loser. This made Chen Xijiu feel mixed in her heart, so she could only turn around and cut the ginger.
...
About ten minutes later.
Brother Luo has almost explained this month’s “accounts” clearly.
Lard Boy's Dapingji stopped at the door and walked into the living room with a leather bag on his arm.
"Brother Zai, Brother Zai."
The detectives had already finished three cups of tea and were waiting for Lardboy to come back and share the money.
As for the process, it’s the same every month!
Divide the money first and then eat!
After all, the tea was brewed in the afternoon, and it was too early to eat, and it was too late to pay after the meal. Brother Luo doesn't like to divide the money until eight or nine o'clock, and then he has to treat them to two drinks. It's too troublesome.
So Brother Luo made a rule to divide the money before eating. When the detectives saw the lard guy coming back, they knew that the "meat show" was coming.
"Hey hey hey, long time no see, everyone." Lardboy walked into the living room with his fat palms flattened. The fat on his belly was like a ball, and his steps were wobbly when he walked, which really felt funny.
He rarely had the opportunity to meet with various detectives, and he only occasionally met Lin Gang and Han Sen. The other detectives can only be seen on this day of the month.
Since there are so many brothers in each police station, it takes a long time to send out the information. The brothers will definitely be sent out first, and finally the detectives will be sent out together. Alas, after busy work for a while, it is the same reason that money suffers just as handsome people suffer.
Lardboy sat next to Brother Luo, picked up the tea cup familiarly, and after drinking the tea, he asked the handsome guy opposite: "Zhuangzi! Does the tea taste good?"
"Ignore your mother, you just finished drinking and you come to ask me? Are you kidding me, Mr. Zhuang!" Zhuang Shikai knew that Lardboy was deliberately teasing him when he spoke with squinted eyes. In his opinion, people like Lardboy should learn the "deadly scissor kick"! Tsk tsk, this weight, this position, it’s a double bonus!
However, in the face of Lard Boy's teasing, he still replied honestly: "It tastes good. Brother Luo's tea is excellent!"
"Hahaha." Brother Luo chuckled from the side, stood up and wiped his hands with the napkin beside the tea table, casually threw the napkin on the table and said: "Lard boy, Ah Sen, Ah Gang, let's go upstairs."
"Yes, Brother Luo." Lin Gang, Han Sen, and Lard Boy stood up. Lin Gang adjusted his suit coquettishly, and then followed Brother Luo to the study on the third floor.
The money sharing begins! About ten minutes later, Lin Gang and Han Sen walked down the corridor each carrying a suitcase and cash box, and dragged it straight to the parking lot without saying a word...
During this process, Lardboy poked his head out from the third floor and shouted: "Aze, Yifan, come up here."
The two detectives from the Western District and Wan Chai put down their tea cups and stood up. When Lin Gang and Han Sen sat back on the tea table, their figures had disappeared.
The money was distributed very quickly, people came and went, and no one spoke. Half an hour later, Lardboy was holding a bottle of beer in his hand, and while drinking, he shouted: "Zhuangzi, come up here."
Zhuang Shikai nodded, got up, went to the door and picked up the three cash boxes. One on the left hand and two on the right, as if going to the vegetable market.
"Pfft." Inspector Wan Chai couldn't help laughing, and a mouthful of tea squirted on the tea tray. Detective Li and others from the Western District couldn't help but laugh and didn't know what to say.
Call me ignorant...you are a detective after all. Let’s talk about you as a newcomer... Can’t you see what everyone did just now? Just bring your own cash box, and bring three at a time.
If you insist on bringing three cash boxes with you now, is it possible that Brother Luo will put you in three cash boxes? Moreover, Zhuang Shikai was walking like flying, and the cash box did not look like it contained money at all.
