Chapter 22: A gambling father, a mother who died early, and a helpless precocious boy

"Is the injury on your hand okay?" he asked. Li Ming shook his head, "It's just a broken skin."

Li Ning nodded, and then said: "I saw the corpse. The injuries and method of death are completely different from the two corpses on the Red Street. I can conclude that it was done by two people."

Li Ning took a lot of photos from all angles. Li Ming took a look and saw that the man died from a stab wound. The knife was inserted into the back of the head, killing him with one blow. It was a steady and brutal crime. It was not an impulsive crime.

"Oh, what an eventful year it has been. The interstellar alliance's review team is coming soon, and something like this happened again." Li Ning said sadly.

"Review team?" Li Ming couldn't help but inquire a little bit. He seemed to have seen this news somewhere, but he didn't care.

"Yes, come to investigate the over-exploitation of Xingchuang Company." As he spoke, Li Ning also gritted his teeth: "Damn Xingchuang Company, if it weren't for their Silver Gray Star, how could they be in this situation now."

"Blue Star originally planned to build 500 livable cities here..."

Li Ning muttered a lot, mostly dissatisfied with Xingchuang Company, and the chaos in the outer city was inseparable from Xingchuang Company.

In this way, the two returned to the City Guard headquarters. It was almost eleven o'clock, and Yang Peng was not there, saying that he was going to a meeting.

"Xiao Li, how are you? Do you want to vent your anger tonight?"

Li Ning was sorting out the photos taken today for use in the report. He glanced at the middle-aged man next to him who was winking and was slightly bald.

"Lao Qi, after talking so much, you don't dare to go." Li Ning glanced at him, and Lao Qi curled his lips, "It's boring, it was more fun when you first came here."

Then he asked curiously: "By the way, how is the new guy? He can't control himself in front of those slutty women from the Society of Roses, right?"

Li Ning stopped moving, a strange look appeared on his face, and finally remembered and asked: "Where did you get the news, saying that Li Ming is a boring gourd, cowardly, and was bullied so much that he didn't dare to go to school? ”

Lao Qi asked strangely: "What Lao Diao and the others said, they have seen this kid several times before, what's wrong?"

"Nothing..." Li Ning shook his head and said nothing.

These old guys had teased him a lot before, and when they realized that Li Ming was completely different from what they thought, the expressions on their faces would be very exciting.

At noon, they went to the city health department's cafeteria for dinner on the 200th floor.

The food is good, the physical fitness of the city guards is extremely high, and they naturally consume a lot of nutrients.

"Hey, today it's pig meat..." On the plate in front of the two of them was a palm-sized piece of meat, exuding a fragrant aroma, and some stir-fried vegetables.

"Don't underestimate this piece of meat. It's more expensive than ordinary nutrient solutions." Li Ning reminded. Li Ming tasted it. It was full of juice. After it was eaten, it was quickly decomposed, and the nutrients in it were eaten up by cells.

The benefits of the City Health Department are pretty good.

Not long after the two of them ate, a message came from the smart terminal that Yang Peng was summoning them.

They looked at each other, quickly finished pulling, and then went upstairs. They were almost there when Yang Peng's eyes fell on them.

He seemed to be restless, with his hands folded across his chest, but his fingers kept tapping on his upper arms.

"Xiao Li, what will happen to Qiangwei this morning?" Yang Peng asked.

"They are very cooperative." Li Ning replied, Yang Peng nodded, and after everyone had arrived, he said in a deep voice:

"There may be something big tomorrow. I'll get off work early today. Just do whatever you need to do."

Yang Peng waved his hand and returned to his office regardless of other people's reactions.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they made a big move!

"I knew that this period of time would not be peaceful." Li Ning's expression changed and he sighed: "It must have something to do with those guys who died."

Is it because of the information I provided? Li Ming secretly guessed.

Li Ning was arranging his things and whispered: "I feel that Captain Yang's intention is to let you do some credit in the field, and then find an opportunity to transfer you to the logistics."

"You should not be asked to carry out a mission that is too dangerous this time."

"Generally speaking, is such a big move very dangerous?" Li Ming asked,

"Where do you think the City Guard's annual mortality rate of 23% comes from?" Li Ning asked quietly, "If the difficulty is as high as ours today, how can people die?"

"Our Silver Gray City is not peaceful..."

"Because of Xingchuang Company?"

Li Ning sighed, "Did you guess it?"

Li Ming said casually: "If they don't deflect the conflict, the conflict will only fall on them."

At first, Li Ming thought that the chaos in Silver Gray City was due to the inaction of the city guards, but now it seems that the city guards are not what he imagined.

Whether it is the outer city or the inner city, most of the gray areas have the background of Xingchuang Company, and of course there is the cooperation of the senior officials of Silver Gray City.

Startron's over-exploitation has led to a sharp decline in the commercial value of Silver Gray Star.

Not only cannot various supporting measures be built, but housing prices have plummeted. How can Silver Star immigrants accept it?

Unless there is another conflict involving them.

Li Ning looked at him in astonishment, not quite understanding what he said, and frowned: "Sometimes, the gangs in the outer city are too long-handed, or cause major public opinion, and we always have to take action."

He looked sad, "Go back and have a good rest. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow."

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully and suddenly asked: "Brother Li, can you lend me some money."

"Money?" Li Ning was stunned.

"Well, I can calculate the interest for you." Li Ming added.

Li Ning suddenly realized that Li Ming's over-maturity made him ignore the fact that his father had just died.

Li Ming had never worked before. It was said that his father mortgaged his house before he died. No one knew what he did with the money. Anyway, there was not a penny in his account.

Several old hands guessed that Li Changhai was likely to go to an underground casino.

A gambling father, a mother who died early, and a helpless precocious man... Li Ning's eyes changed and he laughed, "Look at what you said. You can't call me brother for nothing."

"I feed my family and I do have some money saved. How much do you want to borrow?" he asked.

Li Ming held out two fingers.

"Two thousand, easy, tell me your account number." Li Ning didn't care.

"Twenty thousand."

Li Ming could clearly see that Li Ning's face was a little stiff.

"I'm exercising, so I'm consuming a lot..." Li Ming explained, "I also want to improve my strength as soon as possible."

"Is that so..." Li Ning thought for a moment and nodded, "No problem, give me the account number."

He wasn't afraid that Li Ming wouldn't pay it back. If something really went wrong, given Captain Yang's character, he would have to make it up to him at that time.

He was just a little surprised by the amount of money, but after hearing Li Ming's request, he understood that strengthening the body consumes a lot of energy, especially in the later stages.

"But you don't have to worry too much. The better gene seeds are ridiculously expensive, and you have to wait in line for the quota in the department. I've been waiting for several years." Li Ning comforted him with self-mockery.

Li Ming reported his account number, and the transfer was completed quickly. The two went downstairs and separated.

Li Ming didn't go back. He had a "huge sum of money" in his hand, and it was time to spend it. The metal energy had reached the bottom, so he had to find a way to get some.
