In Room 302, Nicole has been sent to a safe place by Sun Erniang.
The outer room of the suite is actually the office of Commissioner Lu Ming.
As night falls, at the desk by the window, under the bright desk lamp, Lu Ming is looking at the map of the East China Sea, his hand moving slowly on the map.
When Sun Erniang came, she brought a note written by Bizhu.
But unexpectedly, Bizhu's calligraphy is very beautiful. I thought her handwriting would be crooked, after all, she is a warrior and rather rough. Who knew that her handwriting is very beautiful. The handwriting of Bizhu and Hanzhu is different, one is delicate and powerful, the other is smooth and graceful.
Bizhu woke up, then listened to the tape again, heard some more background noises, wrote them down, and gave them to Sun Erniang.
However, she didn't need to go to the orphanage at night. After all, Nicole officially reported that someone was missing in the orphanage. In addition, Commissioner Lu was ambushed on his way back from a secret visit to the orphanage. Therefore, the orphanage has been raided, and a team is verifying the files of children who have entered and left the orphanage over the years.
Biju's note was accompanied by the sound of tower bells and the cooing of many pigeons.
Adding to the original background sounds of trains and water, Lu Ming is looking for a place on the map that can satisfy all of these background sounds.
As he searched, Lu Ming picked up the note written by Bizhu. Looking at the delicate handwriting on it, his heart warmed slightly. It was great that Bizhu was safe and sound.
Someone knocked on the door. It was Jordan’s voice: “Commissioner, your assistant, Prosecutor Annie Han is here to report in!”
"Well, come in!" Lu Ming tried his best to make his tone calm and natural.
The door was gently pushed open, and Jordan walked in with a smile, "Come, this is Commissioner Lu!"
"Sir!" It was a very clear voice, and the sound of little leather shoes clicking at attention was also heard.
Lu Ming was still concentrating on reading the map. He nodded casually, "Well, you sit down first."
Seeing that Lu Ming was busy, Jordan made a gesture to the new beautiful assistant prosecutor, asking her to sit and wait for a while, then he lowered his footsteps and walked out.
Lu Ming was just pretending, but when he looked at the map, he was suddenly startled, "It's here!"
He pointed at a corner of the map, which was the station of Nanpu Town.
Nanpu Town is also a satellite town of Donghai, located southwest of Donghai urban area.
The Wolong River just winds past the train station in Nanpu Town, and the water flows quite fast in that section.
There is a clock tower at the station and there are many pigeons in the square. The Nanpu Town Council has passed legislation to impose heavy penalties on people who harm the pigeons in the square. Over the years, the flocks of pigeons in the Nanpu Station Square have become a unique landscape.
The background sound of violence is most likely coming from here.
"Ah..." a soft exclamation.
Lu Ming looked up and saw a slim and beautiful figure standing in front of the desk. She was wearing a dark blue prosecutor's suit, revealing her slender black silk legs. At the bottom, she was wearing a pair of small and cute brown leather shoes. She looked bright and heroic. Wasn't she Han Annie
At this moment, she covered her mouth and looked at herself in surprise.
"Ask Cantona to come to me!" Lu Ming waved his hand.
“Ah, yes, sir…” She said the word “sir” with a little hesitation, but she quickly opened the door and walked out.
After a while, Cantona came in behind her.
Lu Ming nodded in his heart. It was not bad. On the first day of reporting, she was completely clueless. How could she know who was who and where they were when he asked her to find someone? But she would not ask her superiors about these things. She was able to find people quickly after going out. She was definitely capable enough.
But, I kept secretly glancing at myself.
Maybe I have become too different, completely different from the person she remembered. So, even if we look very similar, she is not sure. Not to mention, I am her immediate superior now, so I can't rashly say nonsense.
Moreover, after all, she only met the suspect in a case and they had not had much contact. Up to now, she had not seen him for almost a year or even more than a year.
Lu Ming was lost in thought, pointing at Nanpu Station and saying to Cantona, "According to reliable intelligence, there is a hideout of the radical organization that attacked me today near this station, but there is no confirmed location. Think about how to dig it out without alerting the enemy."
"Well, it should be a little farther from the bell tower and closer to the Pigeon Square." Bizhu heard the tower bell and the cooing of pigeons together, but she didn't recognize them at first. So, the place must be far from the bell tower and close to the Pigeon Square. This is because the bell sound is much louder than the cooing of pigeons. But now, to Bizhu, the sound track analyst, the sounds are almost the same size, very subtle. Naturally, one is far and the other is near.
"Don't worry, go back and think about it, and give me a plan as soon as possible." Lu Ming glanced at Cantona.
The scope is indeed quite large. The area near the railway station is a complicated place with various small hotels, residential courtyards, restaurants, etc. It is also a place where all kinds of people gather.
Cantona was an extremely tall and strong man, but the comments in the files described him as meticulous and a detective.
He was an elite figure in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. When the Donghai Supreme Prosecutor's Office was establishing its own law enforcement force, he happened to move his family to Donghai. He submitted his application and was admitted to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office after an interview.
"I will first send people to conduct secret investigations to find out the situation of the residents in all the buildings, residential buildings, hotels, etc. in that area, and then conduct further analysis." Cantona said without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Recently, you've been mainly investigating this!"
"Yes!" Cantona stood at attention and saluted. The special operations team is the law enforcement force of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. Strictly speaking, they are judicial police, so their etiquette is different from that of prosecutors.
Lu Ming nodded: "Keep it secret from the other team leaders as well." Maybe he had watched too many spy movies in his previous life. In fact, letting each team leader just focus on his own tasks without communicating with each other might not be a good thing. But he just wanted to give it a try.
At the very least, if there is a leak, we will know which group it came from, or in other words, we will know which group's members are most likely to be suspected, because even if it came from someone else's mouth, the source of the information also came from this group, and there will be traces to be found.
Cantona made a gesture of sewing his mouth, saluted, and walked out.
Lu Ming then looked at Han Anni and smiled slightly: "You just arrived in Donghai from Xinjingzhou, right? How do you feel? It must have been a hard journey, right?"
"No! Thank you for your concern, sir!" Han Annie stood at attention again.
Inside, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
The two people have different mindsets, but maybe, neither of them knows what to say.
Lu Ming looked at the time, then looked at the girl in front of him who was entangled with him in past and present lives. She looked a little tired, and also had a worried look on her face. It must be because meeting him made her a little confused for a moment. In this strange place, she encountered some extremely uncertain factors, which made her vaguely uneasy about the future.
Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart, and smiled softly: "Han Annie, I'll treat you to a meal?"
Han Annie was stunned and shook her head: "Sir, I'm not hungry!" There was already a look of vigilance in her beautiful eyes.
"Well, then you call Wang Xiaohu over, and he and I will go have a midnight snack." Lu Ming made a gesture.
Han Anni also didn't ask who Wang Xiaohu was, but after a while she went out, she brought Wang Xiaohu back.
"Xiao Hu, come with me to eat some barbecued skewers." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Okay!" Wang Xiaohu agreed happily. He glanced at Han Annie and said, "Prosecutor Han, come along too. You just arrived today. You took the train all the way and didn't eat well. You ran around everywhere after arriving here. You reported to the headquarters and came here again. You must be hungry now, right? Let's go together. Don't worry. Commissioner Lu is a very nice person. Don't be shy! Besides, the grilled seafood here is very cheap. You come from the inland north. You rarely eat seafood, right?"
Han Annie looked at Wang Xiaohu and thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll invite Brother Huzi and the commander!"
Lu Ming found it funny. It seemed that in such a short period of time, Wang Xiaohu had gained her trust.
Moreover, she probably also wanted to see if she was the person she knew.
…
The barbecue restaurant closest to the Husky Hotel is more upscale. Lu Ming picked the more expensive ones. Anyway, Han Annie seemed to be a wealthy woman.
But after ordering a few, I noticed that Han Annie's face looked a little strange, and she kept secretly glancing at the prices on the menu from time to time.
"Okay, that's all, enough!" Lu Ming put down the menu.
The waiter brought the high-end tea that Lu Ming had ordered. Lu Ming sipped it casually and suddenly asked, "Xiao Han, do you believe in past lives?"
Han Anni was slightly startled and shook her head: "I don't believe it."
"Oh? Have you ever had a dream in which you were in another strange world?"
"No!" Han Annie answered more simply.
Lu Ming nodded and stopped asking. Perhaps, now she felt that she was not the heavy smoker, but a weird and mentally ill boss.
In the middle, barbecue and seafood were served, but Lu Ming didn’t eat much. It was a big crab, so he just tasted the yellow seeds in the shell.
Han Annie frowned, and seemed even more unwilling to pay attention to this officer.
Lu Ming smiled inwardly.
However, she had just arrived in Donghai and was completely in the dark. She had just arrived today with a group of rookies, so no one gossiped about her as their superior.
After a few days, when she has found out her general situation, will she think that Lu Qianxing is Lu Ming, the heavy smoker
At the end, Wang Xiaohu went to the bathroom, and soon Han Annie followed.
After a while, Wang Xiaohu came back and whispered, "Brother, it seems that Prosecutor Han doesn't have enough money to pay the bill. She borrowed money from me and said she would pay me back when she got her salary. But brother, you know where I have the money? She didn't let me tell you, but I thought it was better to tell you!"
Lu Ming nodded. He could tell the problem when they were ordering the dishes. It wasn’t because he didn’t have enough cash, because he had borrowed money from Xiaohu and said he would pay Xiaohu back when he got his salary.
"Xiao Hu, after we pack these up, do you know where to send them?" Lu Ming pointed to the three big crabs that he had tasted the best.
Wang Xiaohu chuckled, knowing that the beggar at Laodong Bridge would have a good meal again.
What Brother Lu threw away were leftovers, and what they ate were also leftovers, so there would be no psychological pressure on either of them.
Brother Lu never believes that you beg for your whole life because you don’t work hard enough. Brother Lu says that such arguments are the result of class stratification or the process of stratification that the upper classes of the pyramid will begin to promote, which will then form social opinions and values that are extremely beneficial to the exploitation of the lower classes.
Some people are just hardworking enough, but as they are at the bottom of society, sometimes even if they want to fight for their lives, they still find it difficult to support themselves and those they should support, and they will still encounter desperate situations that make them collapse. Some of them become crazy beggars to escape the heavy reality.
When Wang Xiaohu was cleaning up the "leftovers", Lu Ming stood up and said, "I'll go pay the bill."
Han Annie, you must have encountered some difficulties in the north.
