The journey of power and color

Maria hurriedly held back her laughter and said, "Martin, he doesn't understand English, hahaha!"

Martin looked at Maria strangely and said, "Is it so funny that he doesn't know English?"

Maria hurriedly held back her laughter, then her small face turned stern, she stared at Xu Jie and asked, "What is your occupation?"

Xu Jie said, "Freelance."

Maria was taken aback again: "Oh, you are a person without a job."

"Wrong!" Xu Jie hurriedly corrected: "Freelancing does not mean that there is no job, but that my job is chosen by myself."

Maria asked, "Then what is the job you chose?"

Xu Jie said with some embarrassment: "I am a writer, and I write novels."

Maria's eyes widened immediately: "Writer, who did you learn how to kill?"

Xu Jie looked very wronged: "We didn't kill anyone, you have to investigate clearly. To be precise, someone wanted to kill us. The bomb must have been planted in the house long ago. Fortunately, we went out to play. If we have been in the house all the time, we will die now." It's us, police officer, you can't wrong good people."

Because Martin couldn't understand Chinese, seeing Xu Jie's anxious look, he asked Maria: "What's the matter, Miss Maria, what did he say?"

Maria said in English: "He said that they didn't kill people, but someone else wanted to kill them. Judging from the power of the bomb and the explosion situation they described, it should be a military bomb, and it is indeed impossible for them to bring it into the country. .”

Martin thought for a while and said to Maria: "Then you ask him why he came here, and does he have any enemies?"

Maria looked at Xu Jie and asked, "Then let me ask you, why did you two come here, and do you have any enemies?"

Xu Jie said: "We are a couple, and we came here for vacation. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen. The law and order here is too bad. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here!"

Maria blushed a little when she was told, she honestly translated Xu Jie's words to Martin, and Martin also felt embarrassed after hearing it. It was really embarrassing to be criticized by a foreign tourist for poor security.

Xu Jie continued: "We don't have any enemies, but I can give you some news."

Maria's spirits lifted, and she hurriedly asked, "What news?"

Xu Jie said: "Our primary purpose of coming here is to travel and vacation, but I also want to find someone."

Maria hurriedly asked nervously, "Who are you looking for?"

Seeing that Maria was nervous, Martin asked, "What's going on, what are you talking about?"

Maria hurriedly said, "He said that besides traveling here, he also wanted to find someone by the way."

Martin also felt that there was a door when he heard it: "Then quickly ask who he is looking for?"

When Maria asked Xu Jie, Xu Jie said, "I have a picture of him in my coat pocket."

Maria told the policemen standing on both sides of Xu Jie to search for the photos, and one of the policemen quickly put a photo in front of Martin and Maria.

Xu Jie said: "This man is called Zeng Xiong. He used to run a travel company here. He is my relative. I lost contact with him five years ago. I hope to find him this time. But I just came here on the first day. What happened, alas!"

After Maria translated these words to Martin, she asked, "What is the name of the unit he used to work for?"

Xu Jie shook his head: "I don't know, he didn't tell our work unit. If you can help find out his whereabouts, I guess the bombing case last night should also be found out."

Maria and Martin discussed it, and they also felt that this person should be investigated, so Maria said to Xu Jie: "Xu Jie, we can let you go, but you can't leave before the matter is clarified." ,have you understood?"

Xu Jie smiled and said, "Okay, thank you. It's just...it's just that we don't have a place to live now, you see...hehe."

Maria looked at Xu Jie for three seconds, and then asked, "You mean you want me to provide you with a place to live?"

Xu Jie nodded, and was so angry that Maria was about to reprimand him, Xu Jie said: "You provide us with two advantages. One is that you can be there when you need us to assist in the investigation; the other is that you can protect us by the way. We, you also know, those people used so many bombs and people to kill us, I am worried that they will send people again, then we will be in danger, if we are killed, how can you tell our country and our family What about explaining?"

Maria was right after thinking about it, so she started to discuss with Martin in a low voice. Martin was very annoyed, but he had no choice but to say to Maria: "Well then, you arrange a secret place for them and send the police Provide protection."

Maria stood up and said, "Okay then, I'll arrange it for you."

Xu Jie and Qin Liu finally met, and they hugged each other tightly. Behind them, Maria was waiting in a car with two police officers. After Xu Jie and Qin Liu got into the car, the car drove out. the police station.

In the car, Xu Jie looked at the dirty clothes on his body and said to Maria: "Officer, our luggage and belongings have been blown up, and we have no money. Should you be kind and give us two sets of clothes?" ?”

Qin Liu couldn't help being surprised when Xu Jie spoke Mandarin, but Maria said angrily: "We don't have this obligation, protecting you all is already an extra requirement now."

Xu Jie said: "Officer, it is irresponsible for you to say that. You must know that as policemen, you must protect international friends who come to visit your place. Seriously affect your tourism income, you know, you don’t have anything here, but you live on tourism income.”

Maria was so angry that she really wanted to give this bastard a punch, but thinking about what he said was not unreasonable, she could only say, "Well, I will help you find a solution for these things."

Xu Jie and Qin Liu were overjoyed. After thanking them, they obediently shut up and stopped talking.

The police car stopped in front of a small building. There was a wall more than two meters high around the small building. After entering, they found that the house was well decorated and there was a swimming pool in front. Xu Jie and Qin Liu were shocked. I was taken aback for a while.

Maria said expressionlessly, "You are staying here. I tell you that you cannot damage the contents inside. Also, there are two police officers on duty here. You are not allowed to go out without their permission."

Xu Jie hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we will never damage anything, and it's fine if the police are on duty. I believe no one will know that we live here, ha ha."

Maria put on a small face and said, "There's no room for negotiation, so let's do it this way. Come upstairs, and I'll give you a designated room."

On the second floor, Maria said, "You can't go in on the second floor, the activity area can only be the third floor and the roof." Then she walked to the third floor.

Xu Jie asked, "Then we can't use the TV in the living room below and the swimming pool outside?"

"No!" Maria said very sternly: "You just live here. The third floor has everything, the guest room also has a TV, and someone will deliver the food."

Qin Liu protested: "What's the difference between that and going to jail, officer, what you're doing is restricting personal freedom, I protest!"

Maria said coldly: "I have the final say here, protests are invalid!"

As we talked, we went to the third floor. There were three rooms on this floor. Xu Jie and Qin Liu each had one room. Maria said: "Your room has clothes suitable for you in the closet, and there are new underwear. There is also a separate toilet, and if you are bored, you can go upstairs to exercise."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave. Xu Jie turned his eyes and said, "Officer Maria, I have something to tell you."

Both Maria and Qin Liu looked at Xu Jie in surprise and asked at the same time, "How do you know my (her) name?"

Xu Jie blinked and said with a smirk: "Anyway, I know, Officer Maria, what I want to tell you is...the boyfriend you just confirmed...Well, I suggest you leave him, haha."

Maria was shocked, stared at Xu Jie and asked: "Why did you leave him, and you talk nonsense without knowing him, it seems that your quality is very poor!"

Qin Liu said angrily: "What are you talking about, who is of poor quality? If you dare to say that my husband is of poor quality, you apologize immediately, or this lady will challenge you!" When you get angry, you become very majestic!

Xu Jie rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "Officer Maria, I am not talking nonsense, nor am I alarmist. His origin is a bit mysterious. I suggest you arrest him and interrogate him."

Maria took a few deep breaths, and looked at Xu Jie in astonishment when she was not so excited, and asked, "Why is it so mysterious? Arrest him for interrogation. He is not a criminal. How can they arrest people casually?"

Xu Jie stared at Maria's big blue eyes and said in a deep voice: "This person is actually the Italian mafia, because he killed someone in Rome and ran here to seek refuge. He has the mafia as his backing, and he wholeheartedly pursues you For another purpose!"

Maria felt chills running down her spine, and grabbed Xu Jie's arm with one hand and asked, "Is what you said true?"

Xu Jie nodded and said, "It's not difficult for you to prove it. You go into his residence at eight o'clock tonight and hide under his bed. He will come back at 08:30, and then you will hear something that shocks you. , then you will believe what I say."

Maria glared at Xu Jie as if she saw an alien, while Qin Liu happily hugged Xu Jie's other arm, looked at Maria with a challenge and said with a smile: "How about Maria, I know If you don't believe it, then you can go to verify it tonight, and come to us after you confirm it."

Xu Jie looked at the stunned Maria and continued: "Your boyfriend will go out at ten o'clock in the evening, you can order the police to follow, then you will have a big harvest!"
