Chapter 65 Believe
Chapter 65 Believe
When Little Wolf saw that it was Du Yu, and Du Yu was also wearing a police uniform, he immediately felt overwhelmed.
"Officer Du, I know your criminal police team has always disliked those of us who run nightclubs, but there's no need to investigate us when we're just starting to get popular, right? I, Song Lang, have to ask myself, I haven't provoked you recently."
He looked at the clock on the wall.
It is now eight o'clock in the evening. According to the previous customer flow, the store is already crowded.
The tycoon threw the banknotes into the air like rain, and after falling to the ground, they turned into water and gathered into his bank card.
But since two uniformed policemen came into the store looking for him in the evening, no one came in, and even the customers who were in the store hurriedly paid their bills and left.
After all, this is a famous nightclub and bar in Jiangcheng. There are more than twenty hostesses alone, and most of the customers who come here don't come for the drinks.
So who would dare to stay when seeing the police coming?
Even when Du Yu's police car drove to the intersection, the originally bustling pedestrian street began to show a trend of decreasing passenger flow.
Xiaolang guessed that all the major massage groups and local dating groups in Jiangcheng are now saying that the police are checking shops here, so those who want to drink and go to bars tonight should be careful.
Seeing this, Du Yu said, "Song Lang, do you think that life is more important than making money?"
Little Wolf said, "Officer Du, your colleagues just told me that I'm in danger recently and someone might want to kill me. To be honest, when I opened this store, I offended people on the entire street. When the windows were smashed at night and someone threw feces into the house during the day, I never saw the police come to arrest anyone. Do you have to wait until they hit me on the head with a burning bottle of wine before you do anything?"
When he said this, there was disdain in Xiaolang's eyes. It wasn't that he didn't believe Du Yu. The police came to his house because there must be some clues that his life was in danger.
But compared to trusting the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, with whom he has always been at odds, Xiaolang would rather trust his older brother Li Dusheng.
He had just called Li Dusheng, and Li Dusheng said that he would send some people to look after the place tonight and protect his safety.
Since it is a gangster matter, we should follow the gangster rules. If he is unwilling to risk his life and does not cut himself with the knife, it does not count as self-defense according to the law.
Du Yu was a little unhappy, but what Song Lang said was true.
He actually understands that the competition among peers is fierce, and there are many fools among them who will make you lose sleep if they cut off my money.
But the police rely on evidence when investigating cases. You can't just arrest him because he threatens to burn down your store...you can only wait until he takes out a lighter.
This means that when the police take action, it is always at the moment when the destruction has become an accompli.
Du Yu said, "I'm sorry for your loss today, but I don't think anyone will come to your shop to drink for a while. Why don't we sit down and talk?"
If Du Yu was alone, Xiaolang would definitely refuse outright.
But he saw Xu Yiqing following behind Du Yu.
So Xiaolang sighed and said that if Dr. Xu came along, he would definitely give him face.
He went to the kitchen to call Li Dusheng, explained the situation, and then returned to the store lobby: "Let's sit down and talk. I heard that Dr. Xu is here too. The boss said he will come over in person soon."
For the first time, Du Yu did not object to this.
Because compared to Song Lang, he felt that Li Dusheng might be more communicative...that person was a scumbag, very cunning and very shrewd.
But precisely because of being shrewd, one can better weigh the pros and cons.
Xiaolang brought a wine glass, but Zhou Shiwan refused to drink. Du Yu also couldn't drink because he had to drive, so he only brought a glass for Xu Yiqing.
"The alcohol content is very low. It is a mixed drink after all."
Xu Yiqing did not refuse, saying that he would just taste it briefly and take a sip just to show his appreciation.
He felt that following the other party's wishes might be the first step to make Song Lang compromise.
The task force has two goals. Either set up surveillance in the nightclub and Song Lang's residence to protect his safety while waiting for the "Cleaner" to reveal his true identity.
Either bring Song Lang back to the police station and let him live in the Criminal Police Brigade until the case is solved.
This is why Song Lang refused to cooperate.
The first one will make him uncomfortable. Who can be at ease when someone is watching him while he is eating and sleeping?
Moreover, with the police on duty, the nightclub business is no longer going to work. Not to mention whether there are customers coming to patronize it, what about the income other than selling alcohol?
Can a hostess twist and turn on a customer in front of the police, shaking her butt to make the customer's heart tremble? The second one is even more outrageous. It sounds good, but it's no different from arresting yourself and putting yourself in the police station for two days.
Xu Yiqing clinked glasses with Xiaolang, trying his best to appear casual and sincere, hoping to impress him.
The amber wine is shaken in the glass and hits with ice cubes to bring out the best enjoyment for your taste buds.
Little Wolf drank the wine in the glass, then refilled it, and sighed, "I slept from early morning till afternoon, without eating or drinking. I never thought that the first sip of wine I took would be with you, Doctor Xu. It's really an honor for me."
Ever since Xu Yiqing came to ask about Liu Zhuhua that day, Xiaolang also asked about Xu Yiqing privately.
I learned that he had great prestige in the Jiangcheng police, but he never looked down on people and was not arrogant to anyone. I felt that what the boss said was right, and Dr. Xu was a person worth associating with.
There was only half a cup of wine in Xu Yiqing's glass, and he took a sip.
The first feeling is bitterness, but then, along with the heat brought by the little bit of alcohol rolling down the throat, a slight fragrance begins to spread in the mouth.
It tastes like almonds.
As time goes by, the aroma of almonds becomes stronger and spreads from the mouth to the nose.
Take a deep breath, and your mouth and nose will be filled with the fragrance of mountain pine and almonds in the early morning after the rain.
Seeing Xu Yiqing inhale, Xiaolang smiled and said, "I mixed the wine myself. It tastes good, right? Doctor Xu, you can come often if you like."
"I don't usually drink, and my alcohol tolerance is actually very low." Xu Yiqing finished the little bit of wine left in his glass and waved his hand: "Besides, I won't come to you if there is no case, so I hope this is the last time we meet."
Xiaolang shook his wine glass, "Doctor Xu, you are just like what the boss said, you are a very interesting person."
Xu Yiqing said: "The drink you made tastes great. Even I, who hate the taste of alcohol, think it smells good. I'm sure it's very popular."
Little Wolf was very proud: "I learned it on purpose. My wine sells the best on this street, and I am more popular with women than the bartenders hired by the store."
Xu Yiqing said: "So I think there must be a lot of people who would like to drink the drinks you mix in the future."
Xiaolang was stunned and understood what Xu Yiqing meant: "Doctor Xu, I don't trust the police."
Xu Yiqing said: "I can understand that, but without evidence, the police will not propose to restrict your personal freedom to ensure your safety."
As the case is still under investigation, Xu Yiqing is not in a position to reveal too much about the death of the principal of Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School.
It can only be euphemistically stated that the police's contact with Song Lang was not groundless.
Xu Yiqing's expression was sincere and his tone was sincere: "Song Lang, I really don't want the person who is talking and laughing with me now to lie on the dissection table and be pushed in front of me in the near future."
When the little wolf saw Xu Yiqing's sincere eyes, he was suddenly stunned.
He felt a long-lost respect from Xu Yiqing.
That's right, respect.
Since following Li Dusheng, everyone knows what they do, as if the past and the present are attached to them.
Ordinary people would look at them strangely, the police would show suspicion, and even if they were seen by groups of students on the street, they would lower their heads and hide away out of fear.
The most obvious example is Du Yu. The little wolf knows that what he has done cannot escape the police's repeated investigation. He accepts the punishment after being investigated, but does not change after being fined. It is only natural that he is looked down upon by the police.
So he knew very well that Du Yu asked to protect his safety only because of the "case" and it was the police's obligation that drove Du Yu.
But Xu Yiqing is different. He is simply concerned about his own safety now.
He respects his own life, just as he respects all lives.
So Xiaolang pondered for a long time, and finally said to Xu Yiqing: "Doctor Xu, since the boss believes in you, I will believe you once too."
