fog city detective

Chapter 239

Liang Xi reacted quickly, and said: "Miss Weiwei, I am a law-abiding detective and insist on paying taxes according to the law. Mr. Mengda and our detective agency are on official business, and I cannot accept cash personally. This is the business card of our detective agency. Phone number and bank account. Hehe. We are all friends and should not accept money, but I am not the only one in the company, sorry, sorry."

Weiwei understood, and reached out to take the business card: "It seems that my trip today was in vain." She knew that Liang Xi and Bobby knew each other, but she didn't think that two people with such a big gap in class would be good friends.With her professional standards, she quickly judged that the two were good friends.Therefore, it is impossible for Liang Xi to work for the Bale family for money.

Liang Xi: "It's not in vain, English-style family afternoon tea is not available everywhere."

Weiwei said: "That is. But since some people in England do not welcome us, we should leave as soon as possible."

Liang Xi said: "According to my understanding, Mengda may have misunderstood others. Miss Weiwei will have no problem."

Weiwei smiled and handed her business card to Liang Xi: "Contact me if you need help. If Mr. Liang is willing to join the Barrie Company, we are willing to offer very generous terms. Even if Mr. Liang is unwilling to join the Barrie Company, in the future We still have many opportunities to work together.”

Liang Xi took the business card: "Of course, of course." It depends on how much money you give before deciding whether to cooperate in the future.

Everyone shook hands in a friendly goodbye. Weiwei went over to say hello to Mary and told Mary that this was the best dessert she had ever eaten.Vivi either inquired in advance, or had a strong observation ability, knowing that Mary made the pastry herself.

After seeing off the Mengda brothers and sisters of the Bale family, the chief bodyguard came over and said, "Mengda is a very dangerous bastard who has no bottom line."

Liang Xi asked, "Do you know him?"

"Munda used to be a French intelligence officer stationed in the Middle East. Because the false information he provided resulted in the death and injury of many of our personnel, Munda was ordered to undergo investigation afterwards and eventually resigned with dishonor." The chief bodyguard glanced at the man standing at the front of the car. Bodyguard: "His cousin was one of the dead."

No wonder the chief bodyguard kept vigilant after seeing Munda. It turned out that someone in the bodyguard team had an enmity with Munda.Liang Xi responded: "Thank you for the reminder, I will remember."

……

Mengda and Weiwei are just an episode to Liang Xi, and the core conflict of this matter has nothing to do with Liang Xi.Liang Xi didn't intend to mediate the relationship between the two parties, or which side to take sides.What Liang Xi thought of was philosophy: maybe life is like this.Everyone's life is wonderful, and the experiences of happiness and suffering that we endure every day may be the meaning of every life.

For example, Thresh is a bad guy, but he has greatly enriched Liang Xi's life, whether it is happiness or suffering.

The two things in Liang Xi's hands are all related to Thresh. One thing is that Peggy mentioned by Thresh is related to Nuonuo and Kou Kou.One thing was to dig Thresh, and Liang Xi entrusted House to pay attention to Yingluck's funeral.Without Thresh, Liang Xi would have nothing to do these two days.As for the theft of Chris' oil painting, Liang Xi didn't care at all, and he didn't contact Chris to inquire about the progress of the investigation.

The relationship between Liang Xi, Bobby and Chris is relatively dry. They have played together a few times, and they are very polite and courteous.This kind of politeness is a derogatory term in male friendship.Both parties have not been involved in each other's private life, which is commonly known as ordinary friends.

Nuonuo and Koukou have a reality show recorded by a TV station. They sell food with several competitors in the park. Whoever has a good reputation and sells more food will be promoted to the top three.This is an open-ended reality show, with locations and tourists filming a reality show and promoting a TV show on the other.

Liang Xi never denied that Bobby was good at flirting with girls, and while Bobby was good at flirting with girls, he was also very good at enjoying it.In the parking space 50 meters away from the shooting point, Bobby occupied two parking spaces for a luxury car, which looked particularly eye-catching.Before the show started filming, it attracted a lot of attention, including Kou Kou and Nuo Nuo.It was logical that the four of them met, chatted, and had a drink together in the RV.

This is just an episode: Encounter.What Liang Xi wants is not this part, what Liang Xi wants is the game.When Bobby was chatting hotly, he invited two beauties to go to a very high-end London club that was not open to the public for a drink after finishing work.For Kou Kou, this kind of place is not attractive, but for Nuonuo, she has heard about this club for a long time, but has never had the opportunity to visit it, so she showed a strong willingness.Kou Kou didn't refuse either.While Liang Xi was chatting with them, he obediently sat on the side making tea and reading a book.

What game does Liang Xi want?Games like poker and dice.From this type of game, it can be seen whether Nuo Nuo has the skill of stealing.The fingers of a trained thief are very flexible, and when doing small things, they are always easy and accustomed to using different methods.For example, take the example of drawing poker cards from the opponent's unfolded cards. Ordinary girls are very clumsy when they draw.On the contrary, the thief's finger can accurately land on the card he wants to draw, and he can draw out the card lightly without destroying the fan shape.

The reality show began to shoot, and four groups of chefs started from selecting ingredients to complete the food.They not only have to make delicious food, but also have to satisfy a large supply, and they must also make the food look upscale, so that they can sell more and more expensive food.

The group of Kou Kou and Nuo Nuo is very eye-catching. They are a combination of young and beautiful women.Kou Kou is obviously more stable and professional, and she is calm and focused as soon as she gets started, while Nuo Nuo still looks at Bobby and Liang Xi who are waiting for food more than ten meters away from time to time.After reading it for a while, Liang Xi knew that Thresh's information should be correct, and Nuonuo's greatest strength was his quick hands and feet.The countertops are cleared and the food is handled very quickly and beautifully.For example, peeling potatoes, a potato seems to be casted by magic in her hands, turning freely in her palm, her peeling efficiency is nearly twice as fast as that of professional chef Kou Kou.

Nuonuo and Koukou have completely different lives. Nuonuo didn't study hard in high school, and finally went to a specialized school, majoring in nursing.She showed a passion for cooking at school, and started shooting short cooking videos in her second year of junior college.Although the person is beautiful, the food is relatively average, and there are not many people who follow her. Most of the people who follow her only look at her people, not her food.

After graduation, Nuonuo studied culinary arts in this college for half a year, learning to cook Italian dishes.Even so, two years after graduation, her short video traffic was still terrible.Her work is very complicated, mostly odd jobs, most of which are related to food.Such as being in charge of the barbecue of the party, such as cooking ingredients for the homeless home.

This situation continued until half a year ago, when Kou Kou needed to find a partner for this variety show, with the assistance of the TV station staff, Kou Kou found Nuo Nuo.After the cooperation between the two parties, they found that they have really learned from each other's strengths.As Miss Fu, Kou Kou likes to cook, but she doesn't like to clean up, and her hands and feet are not quick enough.For Nuonuo, she can do all sorts of chores, and she needs a platform to learn formal cooking, Kou Kou is obviously a very suitable candidate.

In this program, the performance of the two was very exciting, and they were hailed as the most potential championship contenders.

After Bobby and Liang Xi got the food, they walked to one side and sat down. Bobby asked, "How did Nuonuo become a thief?"

Liang Xi replied: "Judging from the information provided by Thresh and Nuonuo's information, Thresh believes that Nuonuo's boss, Peggy, is an orphan instructor, or a full-time adoptive parent." There are full-time adoptive families in the UK , can get a lot of official subsidies every month, and adopting children is a job for them.Of course, in order to adopt better and more children, they must treat the children better.The children's department likes such families very much. It means that the adopted children have many companions of the same age. The question they should pay attention to is whether the children have been abused.

Nuonuo's parents passed away when she was ten years old. After a short stay in the welfare home, she entered the family adoption system.Liang Xi checked the details of Nuonuo's adoptive parents, and there should be no problem.There will be a problem in full-time adoptive families. The adoptive parents can only pay attention to the survival of the child, but cannot pay attention to the life of each child.There is a high probability that the adoptive parents will not know what people or gangs Nuonuo came into contact with when living in a full-time adoptive family.

The system of the Orphan Association is to cultivate orphans from an early age, and some orphans will leave the welfare homes or charity schools of the Orphan Association after they grow up normally.Some orphans who are talented and suitable for development in the Orphan Association become the objects of the Orphan Association's training, and eventually they become members of the Orphan Association.Human behavior is consistent, and Peggy, as an orphan who will come out, is likely to start cultivating orphans from childhood.

All this is hard to say, John doesn't have a completely logical reasoning to explain the relationship between Peggy and Nuonuo, and Liang Xi can't speculate on the relationship between them for the time being.Thresh did not explain all the information he had to Liang Xi, so Liang Xi could only sit still and conduct a comprehensive investigation and understanding of Nuo Nuo first.

……

After finishing work at [-] o'clock in the evening, the four of them headed to the box in the clubhouse that Bobby had reserved. The box in the clubhouse is very elegant, and the inside can't be seen from the outside, and you can enjoy the singing and dancing outside to your heart's content.In addition to drinks, etc., you can also customize many services, such as meals.

Liang Xi was completely a foil and an outsider, drinking tea slowly, not affected by the fast-paced music at all.Bobby and the two girls played dice clocks, finger-guessing, and drank a lot.At the beginning, the two girls asked Liang Xi to join in from time to time. Liang Xi was like a monk, not close to women and wine. After a few times, everyone played their own way.

Soon Bobby's custom-made men's 'folk' dance was performed. The two girls faced the folk dance, screaming again and again, covering their faces and eyes, but they couldn't stop them from secretly watching.While playing and drinking, Bobby's hand touched Nuonuo's thigh.Nuonuo didn't seem to notice, but the way she looked at Bobby had changed.

Next is the folk dance of women and men. After the dance, they join the game together, the game of throwing money.The gold master Bobby teamed up with two women to challenge four dancers, and the winner can take away [-] pounds at a time.There are many contents in the game, including tacit understanding, big adventure, I have done things you have never done, etc.The content is very flowery, and the dancers cooperate to make the atmosphere rise to a very ambiguous stage.

Bobby took advantage of the situation and said a few words in Nuonuo's ear, and Nuonuo punched Bobby shyly, and the two left the box supporting each other.Liang Xi raised his hand to the standing bodyguard. The bodyguard nodded and asked the dancers to leave the box. At the same time, he turned off the music and turned on the lights.Liang Xi said to Kou Kou who hadn't recovered from the atmosphere: "Let's eat." He pulled up a chair and sat down, rolled up his sleeves, opened the box, took out the cake inside and handed it to Kou Kou.

Kou Kou is like watching a ghost: "Anyone with a little brain should know what to do just now."

Liang Xi took back the cake and asked, "Do I have too many brains?"

"Why? Am I not pretty? Unattractive?" Koko asked.

Liang Xi explained: "I have a girlfriend."

Kou Kou asked back: "Then why are you here?"

Liang Xi said, "It's none of our business."

"What do you mean?"

Liang Xi said: "Or in other words, what do you think of Nuonuo?"

Kou Kou savored the meaning of Liang Xi's words, and asked back: "Your goal is Nuonuo? Bobby has a crush on Nuonuo, and you and I are friends, to ask Nuonuo out?"

Liang Xi was stunned: "This... this, why do you have such a view?"

Kou Kou was a little suspicious, and asked cautiously: "You, you want to ask me out? That's why you asked Bobby and Nuonuo to accompany you?"

"Ah?" Liang Xi didn't understand: "I have a girlfriend."

Kou Kou asked: "Is she as beautiful as me?"

Liang Xi: "That's for sure."

Kou Kou was furious, grabbed the tissue in front of her and smashed it on Liang Xi's face.Liang Xi was very innocent: "I'm telling the truth, you are not comparable. Is the direction of our conversation wrong?" You can compliment you, but you can't step on my Karin to compliment you.

Kou Kou asked with restraint, "What direction do you want to talk about?"

Liang Xi said, "What do you think of Nuonuo?"

Kou Kou got angry again: "We are just friends, not lovers. Don't beat around the bush, just say that you want to sleep with me, but you don't want to be responsible."

Liang Xi was in a state of confusion: "Is our topic so biased?"

Kou Kou asked: "Then why are you here? Don't you just wait for them to leave? Or do you like to drink tea in the corner alone and watch the three of us play? Are you perverted?"

Liang Xi didn't expect that Kou Kou, who has always been gentle and gentle, would have an aggressive mood, so he looked at the two bodyguards staying in the box as if asking for help: Please solve the problem.He has no experience dealing with vixens, and he prefers to flee the scene before the woman gets mad.

The bodyguard moved a few steps to the side, refusing to make eye contact with Liang Xi, he was just watching.He is obliged to report Liang Xi's embarrassment to Bobby, his employer. On the contrary, if he prevents Liang Xi from making embarrassment, he might be scolded.

Kou Kou was very angry, and asked loudly: "What do you mean? The appointment was made, the wine was drunk, and the people left."

"That..." Liang Xi tried to explain: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just work. Do you know the Orphan Association?" Liang Xi thought that he should tell Kou Kou about it.

Kou Kou questioned: "That's taunting me? Liang Xi, I'm in good condition, even if you don't like me, why do you bully me?"

Liang Xi continued to explain: "You drink too much, I don't mean to bully you. Listen to me, there is a team called Ore Group in the Orphan Elderly Association..."

A glass of wine was splashed on Liang Xi's face, and the two bodyguards looked at each other and smiled, not everyone has the patience to listen to you.Especially the girls who have experienced the atmosphere just now, what they need is hugs and sweet words, not what you call eating a piece of cake, let's have a good chat.

Kou Kou poured wine, stood up with her bag, looked at Liang Xi who was completely confused: "Get lost." Leave.

With the door closed, Liang Xi wiped his face with a tissue, and patiently said to the air: "The director of the ore group is called Thresh, and Thresh has dealt with me several times. Thresh contacted me yesterday... That's the situation, we wait patiently , you can know the result. Nuonuo is your friend after all, right? You don’t like having a bad guy friend. This is also for your safety. Come... Let’s eat something and wait patiently for the result."
