Beverly Restaurant is a very quiet sea view restaurant in the West End.
This is an expensive and very secretive members-only restaurant with not many tables. The golden sand beach outside is privately owned by the restaurant, with green palm trees and blue sea and sky forming a classic beautiful tropical beach landscape.
Now all other tables in the restaurant were empty. At the table by the floor-to-ceiling window, opposite Lu Ming, sat the graceful Judge Christine in a crimson gauze dress. This usually stern and stern judge rarely showed the charm of a young silk lady.
Recently, Judge Christine and Lu Ming have dinner together every week, always at this restaurant.
According to the Imperial Labor Law, there is one day off every five days, but in Lu Ming's mind, he is still accustomed to thinking of Sunday as the day off, and the day before as the weekend.
The word for this recurring holiday in the world language was automatically translated into "week" in his mind.
"The patent for the roll-on deodorant that you bought out is now selling like hot cakes. I heard that you also invested in the production of microwave ovens?" Christine slowly put down the coffee cup after taking a small sip.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that his mother was very curious about him. She asked him out every week, as if she wanted to hear his stories.
To her, the things she tinkered with were just little stories.
In fact, not to mention that the patent rights and investments made by Huaxia Group were hidden cards. If she really wanted to know, it would only be a little more trouble. However, it was unnecessary, because if she wanted to reveal her hidden cards, she would have to use some means. If they were not mortal enemies, they would not do that.
Lu Ming took out a beautifully packaged gift box from his bag and said with a smile, "I specially customized a roll-on perfume for you!"
Christine looked at him with a half-smile: "Is this how you always coax girls?"
Lu Ming scratched his head awkwardly, knowing what she was talking about.
It has been a long time since she mentioned introducing her daughter to herself. Naturally, she knew of Pamela's existence. Moreover, she should have vaguely known that there were many women in her family and they would not be good matches for her daughter.
"I've been pretty busy lately!" Christine took the gift box and put it aside, then changed the subject.
"Yes, alas, I suspect that a nine-year-old child has the potential to be a sadist and a murderer! However, there is no direct evidence yet, and the testimony of the eyewitnesses is also relatively weak. The main thing is that this witness is too unreliable. In the eyes of others, he is just a drunkard."
"This child has a classmate at school who said he saw him abusing a cat."
Last night, when I asked Jin Mi Yan about Gao Yulong, Jin Mi Yan quickly said, of course I know him, a hypocrite and a little pervert.
It is said that a few girls who liked to skip classes gathered at the corner of the school wall one day and were preparing to climb over the wall to skip class. They happened to see Gao Yulong cruelly torturing a cat, and they were all shocked.
However, for these rebellious girls, this incident was a topic of conversation to criticize the hypocrisy of adults. Such a bad guy won all the awards in school. The adults liked him and thought he was well-behaved and hardworking, and was a model for all talented students.
They didn't tell anyone about the matter. Even if they did, no one would believe them and they would get into trouble with the teacher.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head: "However, abusing a cat cannot be directly linked to murder. Besides, the students who saw him abusing a cat are all problem students."
Ever since Christine became Chief Justice of the High Court, I can now talk to her about cases quite casually. In the past, I had to be careful so as not to be in her court.
Christine stirred her coffee gently with an elegant posture. "Are you going to have to investigate all the small details of the eucalyptus case by yourself? Your investigators and detectives are useless!"
Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "Not really, this case is a little special. The child's father is a politician. So, I did more of it myself, just thinking that I could handle it with more control."
"Let me introduce you to someone who can be the chief investigator in your office. Otherwise, how can you make money if you always investigate trivial cases? One day, I want to go to the Tower Restaurant to have coffee with you every few days. You can't keep up with the pace and don't have the money to buy the restaurant. You're embarrassed, right?"
Lu Ming scratched his head and said, "I didn't buy this place either, I just invested some money in it."
"The Mengkeduo family is very strange. Why would they sell shares to outsiders?"
"I just helped him solve a small dispute." Lu Ming smiled again: "If you really want to drink coffee in the Tower Restaurant frequently in the future and the restaurant is quiet, then it should be your problem to solve. I can't solve it. The entire East China Sea is theoretically your home, right?"
Considering the level of the people he was interacting with now, Lu Ming naturally had an idea of Christine's background.
"You're too modest!" Christine took a sip of coffee. "I heard that old Renault wants to put the Tower Restaurant on the market. How about we buy it together?"
Lu Ming was stunned: "You still have this interest?" This is really unexpected.
Hesitantly, "Of course that's good, but what if I have a lawsuit in the future and appeal to the High Court..."
"Well, I'm useless as a tool, right? You came up with a good word, 'tool man.'" Christine's tone became increasingly bland.
Lu Ming was immediately startled and cried out, "How could that be? The High Court doesn't have a recusation system. It just assumes that all of you eleven justices are wise and powerful. And, is there any need to explain your wisdom and power?"
"But by then, you will be worried that I will deliberately vote against you to avoid suspicion."
"Really not..." Lu Ming was about to say something.
Christine waved her hand. "I will come back tomorrow and propose a new proposal to ban political debates from television stations and prevent political issues from becoming entertainment. I think more than half of our eleven justices will agree with my proposal."
Lu Ming was helpless. "Okay, I'll buy the Tower Restaurant with you. I'll pay 60% of the money and you'll get 60% of the shares."
"No, our investments are equal, and the returns are equal, but I want 60% of the voting rights." Christine looked at Lu Ming: "I heard that you and your business partners often have higher voting rights than equity? This is your style, right? Let me learn from you!" There was a smile in her eyes.
Lu Ming spread his hands, "Yes, you defeated me in my own way!"
Both of them suddenly laughed.
…
Lu Ming looked at the files on the table, then looked at the person standing in front of him, and felt like his glasses were about to shatter.
Mom Christine, are you kidding me
To use the habits of the previous life, the files have been spent to a certain extent. Name: Formosus Johnson, female, 37 years old.
He has rich experience. He has worked as a federal agent in the imperial capital, an officer in the Royal Guards, and an independent investigator for the Ministry of the Interior. His current position is an ordinary police officer in the Logistics Department of the East China Sea Police Headquarters.
Looking at the positions, it was a downward movement. When he was in the Royal Guards, the highest rank was major. When he retired and transferred to civilian work, he was already a second lieutenant.
Now, he has become an ordinary detective.
No wonder, according to the files, he was drunken, beat his superiors, and especially used a rocket launcher to blow up the door lintel of a nobleman when he was serving in the Royal Guards.
When he arrived at the Donghai Police Headquarters, he was originally a detective, but when investigating a case, he used the same old trick again and injured the prosecutor of the case.
Judging from his resume, he must be lucky not to have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
Look at the middle-aged fat woman standing in front of the desk. Her waist is thicker than a bucket and she looks like a mountain of flesh.
Brown messy hair, dark green eyes, like a cat, with a faint light, quite scary.
But with that fawning smile, he didn't look like he was capable of beating up his boss.
The name Fumosi is also quite interesting.
"Master, it's no wonder that my young lady looks at you differently! You can tell at first glance that you are an extraordinary person." She laughed.
Lu Ming was helpless. How could he call himself Young Master? Moreover, how could he beat up his boss just because he was flattering him? He shook his head and asked, "Who is your young lady?"
"Miss Christine, I have been your maid since I was very young. In the old days, I was your Knight Templar! Just like now, my lady's lady, according to tradition, is the Knight Templar of the most noble princess, although in terms of blood relationship, my lady's lady is the cousin of the little princess..."
Lu Ming frowned. Are they all comparable in communication skills
Fu Mosi was still laughing, "Master, don't look at me like this now, but I have learned everything since I was a child. When I was young, I could beat eight big men with a long javelin. Now, give me a shotgun, and I can easily beat a dozen thugs!"
Lu Ming was helpless, thinking that I could do it too, let's see if they have weapons? However, he suddenly realized that she was Judge Christine's personal maid.
"You like to fight against power?" Lu Ming asked helplessly.
Fu Mosi was immediately delighted, "Young Master is really capable. They all say that I have a habit of beating my superiors, but only Young Master understands me!"
Lu Ming coughed, "What if I become your boss..."
Fu Mosi was stunned for a moment, a little suspicious, "Master, you don't think that I will be disrespectful to you, do you? How could that be? Master, why do you have such an idea? How can you be the same as them? You are my lady's good friend, and you are also my master, right?"
Lu Ming nodded in his heart. No wonder, that flattering smile on her face could make her lose two taels of powder. So that's how it works.
"Master, please don't treat me as an outsider. It's not that the young lady doesn't want me anymore. Before she married into the imperial capital, she lived in the imperial capital for a while. At that time, I was sent to the Royal Guards. The young lady looked down on that weakling. It caused a lot of uproar in the royal family. The young lady was also protecting me, fearing that people would think that the young lady divorced because of my instigation. Although, I did..."
After giggling twice, she continued, "So, from there, I was allowed to develop freely."
Lu Ming nodded and asked, "Have you read the eucalyptus I gave you?"
Before meeting her and seeing her case file, Lu Ming first asked someone to send the case file to her and gave her half an hour to read it in the next room.
I just don't want to have any preconceived first impression, so when I meet her, I first listen to her opinion on the eucalyptus.
No matter how beautiful the case is, or how smart and capable the person looks, everything is still based on her analysis of the case.
I just didn't expect that the result between people and files would be like this.
Speaking of the case, the flattering smile on Formosus's face disappeared immediately, and he changed into a different person, "First, check the accomplices of the pervert. There must be a servant who knows the details of the pervert, and is helping him deal with the aftermath. Also, I have a dirty trick..." At this point, he chuckled, "Use it when there is no other way."
Lu Ming became interested, "Tell me about it."
"Create an opportunity, find a few female classmates from his school to beat him up, and it would be best if they humiliated him severely, throw some stinky dog shit on his face or something, the little pervert will definitely find a way to retaliate..."
Lu Ming understood what she said, "This can't be used. Besides, this guy is quite smart. This pervert has different ideas from us. What if he wants to take revenge in ten years?"
"Okay, then I'll check it out as usual!" Shemos nodded and continued, "He abuses cats and small animals, which means he's not the kind of pervert who endures it. Instead, he needs to vent his desires from time to time, and revenge won't be too long... Also, I'm not saying that we should protect a few girls and catch this little pervert. He might reveal his true colors if he's seriously provoked. For example, he might have some secret places where he vents his desires. Maybe we can follow him and find them."
Oh? Lu Ming looked at Fu Mo Si and nodded, "Okay."
For the first time since I came into this world, someone truly inspired me.
He stood up and held out his hand, "Welcome to join my office. From now on, you are my chief investigator! But the method you mentioned still won't work."
Fu Mosi was a little embarrassed, "Master, why are you so serious..." He took two steps closer and stretched out his hand, "I, no man has ever touched my hand... except in a fight..."
Lu Ming was helpless and waved his hand, "Okay, I'll leave this case to you first!"
"Yes!" Sherlock Holmes stood at attention.
As soon as Fu Mo Si went out, Hou Dexing knocked on the door and came in.
He looked embarrassed, his hands covering his buttocks.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, the fat woman slapped him on the butt and laughed, "This handsome boy has bad eyes."
I don't know why she was so strong. My butt was burning with pain, as if it had been hit hard by a shovel.
What a fucking stupid shrew.
He couldn't afford to offend any of the guys who might come in and out of Lu Qianxing's perverted office.
I can only blame myself for my bad luck.
"Any progress on your murder case?" Lu Ming asked from behind his desk.
Hou Dexing hurriedly smiled and took two steps forward. He did not dare to complain about what happened just now. "It was Chairman Gao who called to ask if the suspect had been identified. His maid is still waiting to be buried."
"Oh? I also want to ask, have you identified the suspect in your case? Is there a suspect who can be prosecuted?" Lu Ming asked.
Hou Dexing coughed and said, "On the surface, Jeff Stewart is the most suspicious, but there are still many doubts that need to be investigated further."
Lu Ming nodded: "What do you think? Just tell Speaker Gao. It has nothing to do with me."
“Yes, yes…” Hou Dexing forced a smile. He was regretting deeply in his heart. Why did he take this case
"However, I have some opinions. They are just opinions. Let's discuss them normally."
"Yes, yes, you say!" Hou Dexing said hurriedly.
"When people entered the wine cellar, Stuart was sleeping soundly at the crime scene, reeking of alcohol. If there was a third person present at the time of the crime, it would have been easy to wipe the fingerprints off the murder weapon and put it in his hand, right?"
Hou Dexing nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, so I also think that we should continue the investigation to avoid wrongly accusing good people."
"Fomer is a good agent. If you encounter any problems, you can ask her for some advice."
"Okay, okay..." Hou Dexing agreed repeatedly and asked, "Commissioner, where should I go to find Agent Fu Mosi?"
"The one who just left, she works in 2010 and is my director of investigations."
Huh? Hou Dexing was stunned and said with a bitter face, "Okay, I'll ask her for advice." His heart was bitterer than Coptis chinensis.
After sending Hou Dexing away, Lu Ming looked at the time, picked up the phone and dialed the number 2301 of Zuo'an Garden.
Soon, Jin Miyan's sweet voice sounded over there, "Uncle?"
There are not many people who can call that number.
"Well, there's no need to accompany your sister. That's good. She doesn't matter anymore, right?" Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"I, I came to get something, my sister wants to go to the cinema to watch a movie..."
"It's Sunday, it's normal to watch a movie to relax." Lu Ming said this, and it seemed as if he was comforting himself. After all, when had that little girl ever left the campus to watch a movie
"Yeah, yes, right..." Jin Meiyan agreed timidly, as if hesitating for a moment, "But she said that after the movie, she wanted me to take her to the billiard room to see the world..."
Lu Ming frowned. How could that be? Jin Meizhen is not the kind of person who would give up on herself.
In fact, this desk mate is very special in my eyes. Although he is young, he is strong and brave, independent and self-reliant. He has his own opinions on many things and has good plans for his life.
It's impossible. Would you overturn your life just because of a young love that ended in failure
Then, that's not the Kim Mi-jeong that he admires so much.
But then again, at such a young age, the first time she fell in love, maybe it was really a big blow to her
"Did you tell her anything about me?" Lu Ming asked.
Kim Mi-yeon's voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was about to run away from the other end of the phone line at any time.
"Uncle, I, I just want to persuade my sister, you, please don't be angry..."
"I said, you and I are both servants of a big lawyer. You got married early, your life is hard, and you don't know what love is... They say you are not worthy of her... You say you are a lawyer for the sake of face, so you are vain and dishonest..."
Later on, Kim Mi-yeon started to cry and seemed to be extremely frightened.
Lu Ming started to glare at first, but then he thought that from Jin Mi Yan's perspective towards her sister, this kind of consolation was right.
If I say that I am excellent in everything, it will really hurt Kim Mi-jeong's little heart and it will seem that I look down on her.
"Uncle, please don't be angry..."
Jin Miyan's voice was a little tearful, "But, but my sister, isn't she, silly, also wanting to become, to become not good enough, so that she can be with the person I'm talking about..."
Lu Ming looked at his watch and thought for a while. "How about this? I still have some time. I'll reserve a seat and chat with her. See you at the entrance of Fuyingmen Cinema at 4:30."
…
Fuyingmen Cinema is the best cinema in Beiguan.
At this time, in the private room area on the second floor, Lu Ming looked at his number and realized that he was still late, as it was already past 5 o'clock.
A business partner called and we chatted for a while.
Oh, this.
Red gauze curtains were hung on both sides, and sitting inside were the sisters Kim Mi-yeon and Kim Mi-jeong.
Lu Ming was stunned when he suddenly saw the two sisters sitting together so intimately.
Kim Mi-jeong has the style of a student in the Republic of China, with a blue jacket and cloth skirt, white lace-up socks and black cloth shoes, looking pure and quiet.
Kim Mi-yeon is surprisingly beautiful and eye-catching with her long orange-red hair, snow-white clothes and pants, and light yellow canvas shoes.
But the two sisters are actually born exactly the same, both with exquisite, narrow, snow-white oval faces and natural charm, but they give people completely different feelings, one is an extremely pure and good student, and the other is a rebellious bad girl.
“Uncle…” Jin Mi Yan stood up and moved aside.
Jin Meizhen lowered her head and did not dare to look at Lu Ming.
“Please sit down…” The two of them happened to make way in the middle, and Lu Ming sat down without thinking much. He was used to sitting in the middle, but after he sat down, he felt something was wrong.
But Kim Mi-yeon was already doing her job obediently on the left, while Kim Mi-jeong was still standing with her head down, like a student being punished.
Lu Ming was helpless, "Sit down, shouldn't I be here?"
Jin Meizhen shook her head, thought for a moment, sat down next to him, and whispered, "Brother Qianxing, I'm sorry for wasting your time again."
"Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. I have plenty of time, and I'm not busy for a living. In fact, I am really a lawyer, and I'm quite famous. If you read the newspaper, there have been reports about Lu Qianxing in the past. You can look for it."
Jin Meizhen shook her head gently: "Brother Qianxing, you still don't understand me, and I don't understand me either. In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of person you are. I just remember that you only came twice in one semester. The second time was for the brother Qianxing who brought me beef jerky..."
Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "Actually, what's the big deal? You are still young, and you will know in the future that this is nothing. You will meet many excellent people in the future. By then, you should still remember me, and you will think that it is a precious memory. However, it is just an experience in ignorance. When you think of the present, you will only smile knowingly..." These words are the truth. Jin Meizhen is destined to be regarded as a treasure by many outstanding young talents in the future.
Jin Meizhen lowered her head and said nothing.
"Okay, let's watch the movie, and then go back. You should study hard in the future."
Jin Meizhen whispered, "Brother Qianxing, I would have studied hard. I want to go to the billiard room today to relax."
Lu Ming smiled, "Yeah, I knew you wouldn't let me down. My deskmate, Lu Qianxing, is destined to be an outstanding person in the future."
Jin Meizhen smiled, not knowing what she was thinking of.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ming was surprised.
"My sister said that you are very narcissistic..." Jin Meizhen said in a low voice.
Lu Ming frowned and looked at Jin Mi Yan.
Kim Mi-yeon lowered her head, pretending that she knew nothing and was drinking soda, as if she would be less likely to be scolded in front of her sister.
Lu Ming saw a bottle of soda on the small coffee table on the right. There was a straw stuck in it and it looked half drunk. There were some extra straws on the plate on the table.
He picked up the soda bottle, inserted a straw, took two sips, and handed it to Jin Meizhen, saying with a smile: "Look, actually I like you too, but at my age, I am not considering young love or anything like that. If you need someone to rely on, just think that Qianxing is your boyfriend now. If you want to have dinner or something, just tell your sister and she can find me. I will do what my boyfriend should do for you, such as eating, shopping, and watching movies. When you grow up and have someone you really like, you can kick me, your first love, away, okay?"
"It's fake. I don't want it. I want to study hard!" Jin Meizhen shook her head, but picked up the soda bottle and bit her straw naturally. Suddenly, she said, "I will only ask you out once a week."
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay."
My mood suddenly became very good. How many people, when they are tired and exhausted, don't long to return to their youth and live that innocent and pure life
Only I have actually returned to the student circle, and in terms of age, I am still a primary school student.
I find it funny, but also feel a lot of emotion.
He moved his left hand slightly and glanced sideways. It was Jin Mi Yan who peeled a handful of melon seeds, removed the kernels, and carefully put them into his hand.
Then, suddenly his right hand moved slightly, and it was Jin Meizhen, who also secretly put a handful of melon seeds into his right hand.
Lu Ming was stunned. Are you two really twins? Do you have telepathy? You have to do the same things...
Which hand should I eat first? This seems to be a problem for primary school students.
However, as Lu Qianxing's lawyer, Lu Ming smiled and stuffed the melon seeds in his right hand into his mouth.
The left hand was handed to Jin Meizhen, "Meizhen, I peeled it for you."
Kim Mi-jeong's big eyes immediately curved into crescents and her smile became extremely sweet.
Lu Ming glanced at Jin Mi Yan and saw that she seemed quite happy. As for what was going on in her mind, it was really hard to judge.
It is still difficult to guess what a girl is thinking.
At this time, Jin Mi Yan was thinking, it was good that her uncle didn't throw the melon seeds back into her hands.
When I was handing him the melon seeds just now, I was so scared just by touching his hand, it felt like my heart was going to jump out.
If my sister wasn't by my side, I wouldn't have the courage to do these things for him.
