At the beginning, I want to quit the arena

Chapter 12
At 63 o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Lou, No. [-] Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei, Meidu Ice Room.

For many people living near Temple Street, Meidu Ice Room is a tea restaurant they have patronized since they were young. It opened in 37, and now it is 50. It has been in business for [-] years. The room, the decoration seems to have not changed, the handwritten menu hanging on the wall, the mortise and tenon roof corner, the movie poster that has been yellowed for more than ten years, the old-fashioned three-leaf ceiling fan that makes a creaking sound when it is turned, Even the lamp cabinets and lamps that have accumulated many corpses of flies and moths make people feel like returning to the [-]s for a moment.

In those days, the young staff who ran upstairs and downstairs to deliver food in the store changed from team to team, and the woman at the cashier also changed from a slender girl who laughed before saying a word to an aunt who has a voice like a lion's roar, and her waist and chest are the same.

It was already past lunch time at two o'clock, and there were only three or four tables of customers left in the huge two-story ice room. Sheng Jiale was sitting on the first floor of the store by the window, flipping through newspapers.

"One piece of baked pork ribs rice, one piece of lotus seed mandarin duck ice!" Ye Hongxin, the prince brother and chief waiter of Meidu Ice Room, brought two pieces of his own signature food to Sheng Jiale: "Ah Le, yours, send more You have red bean paste."

"Thank you, Brother Prince." Sheng Jiale put down the newspaper in his hand and smiled at Ye Hongxin.

This ice room was opened by Ye Hongxin's old Douhua Uncle, so the Jianghu people who often came to Meidu Ice Room to eat called Ye Hongxin the Prince of Meidu when he was a child. Now he is almost 40 years old, and the prince has become a prince. If Uncle Hua is in good health and lives for more than ten years, the prince may be called uncle prince.

"Hello, Ale." Ye Hongxin didn't leave immediately after delivering the meal, but first glanced at his wife who was helping customers find change at the cashier, to make sure she didn't pay attention to him, then sat across from Shengjiale, and asked in a low voice : "Ale, can you pass me some tricks, that is, those women are absolutely devoted to you and obedient to you, how can you do it?"

Sheng Jiale turned his head and glanced at Ye Hongxin's cashier's wife, then at Ye Hongxin whose face was eager to acquire knowledge, and shouted loudly to the cashier counter: "Fourth sister! The prince asked me if I had a new horse recently, and he told me that my pocket money will be paid today." I have already saved [-] mosquitoes for the first time! I want to experience the new high-end service launched by my daughter-in-law Happy, Chidayi Boy's Disappearance Case Book!"

"Wife! Remember to count him an extra portion of red bean paste! Rushing on the street! No loyalty! I treat you as a brother, and you treat me as a younger brother!" Ye Hongxin saw his wife looking at him unkindly, and could only leave a word in a hurry. , and then rushed to the back kitchen with the tray mouse in his arms.

Ye Hongxin's embarrassing appearance made the few diners on the first floor laugh happily, and even the fourth sister at the cash register also laughed, and said in a bold voice: "Thank you, Ale, and I'll treat you to one more soda! It's time to call it a night. I will definitely torture him and force him to hand over 5000 yuan, otherwise my mother will let him see what the murder of the Princess Meidu is called!"

Sheng Jiale had just eaten a few mouthfuls of pork rib rice when He Feihua, the inspector of the Anti-Mafia Team of the West Kowloon Police District, walked in from the outside. The signature baked pork ribs rice, and then I sat down.

"Brother Fanfan." Sheng Jiale swallowed the food in his mouth and greeted him.

He Feifan lit a cigarette, looked out the window at the street warblers who were soliciting customers from passers-by, looked at their looks, and said, "It's rumored outside, so you're ready to make a big noise."

"It's been rumored that the Governor of Hong Kong is my biological father whom I have never met." Sheng Jiale snorted and put food into his mouth.

He Feifan is 43 years old, wearing a smoky gray jacket, the collar of the shirt inside is also a little dirty, and his hair is messy on his head. He is willing to get a haircut only once in two or three months. His face is full of oil. Many people in the Jianghu had dealt with him, and they would not take him for a policeman, but most of them would mistake him for a hillbilly villager who came to Yau Tsim Mong from the countryside of the New Territories to see the world.

"Let's listen to what happened to Lao Dong last night." He Feifei looked away from the window and looked at Sheng Jiale.

Sheng Jiale glanced at him, and then continued to lower his head to deliver food to his mouth: "Old Rong Gao, Lao Xian and his group thought there was a chance to come to East Tsim Sha Tsui to get water, so..."

"I'm asking you about the old Dong Crab King. Don't tell me that it's none of your business for nine people to have their knees smashed with a gun, the back of a knife, a folding stool, or a fire extinguisher." He Feifei breathed out the smoke , interrupt Sheng Jiale's words.

Sheng Jiale gave food to his mouth for a while, then put down the spoon, looked up at He Feifei: "Hey, Brother Feifan, if you have evidence that I hurt someone, you can pull me against the police station, and you won't come here Chat with me, right? Coco is playing Laoqiang with those people, I am her old bean, if I don’t show up, can she give me a share of the money she earns from selling every day?"

"Do you make a lot of money as a groom? Enough money to hire Vietnamese boys, big circle boys? You got shot twice in the body of Ma Suda, the leader of Crab King. Do you know that you want to investigate the details when you use the gun?" He Feifei was dissatisfied. Said.

Sheng Jiale asked back: "Have those Crab King called the police?"

"That's right, the guy named Soda who was shot didn't even go to the hospital, he was sent to a private hospital in the Kowloon Walled City for bandages. The Crab King and his group were rushed over by the police in the morning to understand the situation, and they refused to say anything. If he is willing to tell, you are already sitting in the police station's custody room, I will leave you here to drink sugar water slowly?" He Feifei said depressedly.

"That's right, the owner didn't call the police, what are you looking for?" Sheng Jiale laughed, and took a sip of the cup of lotus seed mandarin duck ice.

In the morning, he went to see Lao Dong and had a talk, which included that the saliva was responsible for ensuring that King Crab would not speak indiscriminately to the police.

"So what happened next?" He Feifan flicked the cigarette ash and asked.

Sheng Jiale nodded. There was a roar of an engine outside. The two followed the sound and looked through the window. A black Opel Cady coupe was passing by the street and parked in a nearby parking space.

"Yes." Sheng Jiale looked away: "I don't want to cause trouble, Brother Fanfan, I'm going to wash my hands and go back to the mainland to do business, and I won't come back after getting married and having children. I don't want my family to know that I have done something. The groom, and so well-known, is he very famous? It's true that he is cheap!"

"Didn't you want to be a big boss before and do calculations?" He Feifei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Is it true that you wash your hands in the golden basin?"

"Brother Feifan, your baked pork ribs rice!" Ye Hongxin appeared again, bringing over the food ordered by He Feifan, and seeing He Feifan talking with Sheng Jiale, he immediately added insult to injury: "Should you drag him into the cell, Brother Feifan, I immediately set off firecrackers to celebrate! Ah Le... I sincerely asked him for advice, but he just slandered me to my wife!"

Ye Hongxin wanted to burst into tears, but obviously He Feifan didn't intend to help, but raised his head and shouted in the direction of the cashier: "Fourth sister! The prince wants me to lend him two thousand money, he wants to go to Damo to learn some new skills." Trick!"

"... Collusion between police and gangsters! A family of cops and gangsters! Bolland Street grooms and inspectors of the Anti-Mafia Group... You guys are good! Wait for me to file a complaint!" Ye Hongxin yelled, and then quickly ran to the cashier, reassuring and ready to pick up the broom His own wife tamed in public.

"Speaking of which, you've been keeping a low profile recently, you're new to the West Kowloon Police District..." He Feifei took a sip of pineapple ice, and was about to continue talking with Sheng Jiale.

At this time, a group of three people opened the door outside the ice room and stopped Ye Hongxin, who was standing at the cashier counter and yelling at his wife about the collusion between the Damo on Bolland Street and the anti-gangster inspector. On the chest: "Hi, may I ask if you just talked about Damo on Bolan Street? Do you know him? Is he in Biandu?"

He Feifan, who was facing the cashier, changed his expression. Sheng Jiale noticed his expression and turned to look.

I saw a young mature woman with neat short hair, heroic eyes, wearing a white lapel shirt and a black women's suit, looking around the entire space on the first floor, and noticed Sheng Jiale's movement of looking towards her from the corner of her eye. The woman's sharp and bright eyes immediately locked on Sheng Jiale's face.

"Which one is she?" Sheng Jiale looked away and asked He Feifan.

The sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the ground sounded from far to near behind Sheng Jiale. Just now, the capable and young mature woman stood in front of the booth for the two of them, looking at the pretty face of the refrigerator that was colder than the ice room in Meidu. To Sheng Jiale who was having dinner: "You are Sheng Jiale known as Bolan Street Damo? I am West Kowloon SDS Senior Inspector, Ouyang Feng, follow me back to assist in the investigation."

Sheng Jiale raised his head and looked at her, and then looked at He Feifan who was facing him. He Feifan mouthed two words silently:

"Poison."
