This man was Xia Gehuai, and hearing him chattering away, still the most B*tchy as he was in high school, I instantly found that familiar feeling.
He gave me a warm hug and then looked at me with a giggle, “First you explain to the police uncle that all this money is from a proper source and no crime has been committed, right?”
“Don’t worry, every penny is more innocent than your virginity.”
“You’ve changed your personality too, you didn’t used to be so smooth-talking!”
I didn’t really have any good memories of high school, I wouldn’t even think about it if I didn’t have to, I thought it would just be a black past in my memory, never worth remembering.
But after a few gla*ses of wine with Xia Gehuai, we talked about the odd teachers and beautiful female cla*smates in high school, and all of a sudden it seemed to bring the memories back to that time.
Xia Gehuai hiccuped, “I almost forgot the main thing, here, here’s what you asked me to investigate, the dossier.”
He pulled out his briefcase from behind his buttocks and then a yellow kraft paper bag, which was bulging, and shoved it into my hand.
“What’s this? Didn’t you say the file was too confidential for you to look through?”
The discipline of secrecy in the army is even stricter than the police, once the secrecy clause is involved, as long as the rank is not enough, there is never a way to go through it.
“Burp …… you, you say you see ghosts or not, no ghosts? It’s just a broken, broken traffic accident, and it even involves confidentiality discipline. I, in all my years as a cop, I’ve never heard of that.”
“Could it be because, you’re a civilian police officer and that accident was a criminal case?”
“Don’t look down on us civilian police officers. It’s been so many years since this case, even if it was once cla*sified, it’s now lifted from authority. This thing is really hell, so I think the case is confidential, either that or there is something fishy about the case and it’s not solved. But it’s just a traffic accident, what could be fishy about it, either that or it involves other big cases that are not yet convenient to disclose.”
Although the army and police systems and close, but when it comes to these details, I still don’t know much, I gave Xia Gehuai a gla*s of wine and asked him to tell me more about it.
“For example, this Zhang Jun, he was undercover, undercover case Dao is still unsolved now, or involved in state secrets, his death can not be called death, should be called martyrdom, martyrdom, certainly will not be decla*sified.”
My dad was an undercover agent? No way, this wasn’t a Hong Kong drama.
I had a very shallow memory of my dad, but as far as I could remember, my dad had always been with his family, never left us to go anywhere else, he wouldn’t have had the time to be undercover if he wanted to.
Xia Gehuai added, “So I came up with this. If this Zhang Jun is really an undercover agent, or someone involved in a case, he may have other previous cases, which may not be confidential. Guess what, when I checked, there really was!”
Xia Gehuai pointed to the kraft paper bag in my arms, which contained all of my dad’s previous convictions.
I put the wine gla*s away and emptied the plates in front of me, then took out the files inside.
There were at least seven or eight files in there, none of which were major cases, all of which were brawls.
I was about to take the file back and read it again when suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I swept up two words: Jiang Ming.
“Those involved in the brawl were: Zhang Jun, Han Kun, Jiang Ming ……”
At once, lightning flashed inside my head. Jiang Ming, isn’t this the same Jiang Ming that Zhao Gongluan was talking about?
“Ah, help, help!”
A cry for help interrupted my thoughts, and Xia Gehuai and I looked up, only to see a dishevelled woman, bursting into our private room.
The woman was flustered and when she saw us two men, she instantly jumped into Xia Ge Huai’s lap.
“Help, help me!”
I grabbed the dossier and stuffed it into a kraft paper bag, not caring that it would get wrinkled. They were very important, and if something was really wrong with my dad’s death, then I must not let anyone else know about my further investigation.
“What’s going on? Take your time, I’m a cop.”
“Someone is trying to bully me.” The woman choked, wiping tears from her eyes and crying.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m a police officer, no one dares to touch you while I’m here.”
Just as Xia Gehuai’s voice fell, a disdainful laugh came from outside.
“Hahahaha, who’s got such a big mouth, farting around here, the police are so bullying. Sister Hong, you’re really sick and desperate, how can you still get along in the jungle afterwards if Zhao Zizi keeps you alive?”
Bang!
With a loud bang, the door to the private room was shattered by someone kicking it. D*mn, I don’t know what kind of bad luck I’ve had today, the door of this private room has never stopped anyone, it’s always either been broken in or kicked in.
The door came crashing down, followed by the dozen or so people blocking the doorway, crowding in overbearingly, and not just these dozen or so people, they were actually followed by people behind them.
Xia Gehuai’s face was hard to see and he took a step backwards.
On the contrary, the one called Sister Hong, once she heard this, was not as panic-stricken as she was just now, and stood up to put her tattered clothes in order, and even backhandedly lit a cigarette.
“Something’s come up.” Xia Gehuai said in a low voice.
“What is it?” I couldn’t have just investigated my father’s case and then someone heard about it and wanted to organize me, right?
“I’ve heard of this Red Sister, and this is the first time I’ve seen her today, she’s from the Red Lantern Society. True back, let’s not get involved more you don’t talk, I’ll take you out of here.” Xia Gehuai explained in a low voice.
If it were normal, I would never be able to just leave, this is my turf, causing trouble on my turf, I can’t just let it go.
But today was different, my mind was on the dossier.
I kept my head down and followed behind Xia Gehuai, slowly walking out the door, when suddenly a hand grabbed my arm.
“Who’s this, not an enemy, isn’t this Zhang Chao?!”
When I looked up, I saw a pair of malicious eyes, it was Liu Huai! What a turn of events, how could I meet him in this place!
Liu Hu saw me and got excited all of a sudden, he was beaten half to death by me last time, but he was worried about how to take revenge, this time his chance had come.
