Collective emotions are sometimes like a slightly turbulent lake. You only need to press down the vibration, and everything will return to calm. But if it is not resolved, the waves will soon turn into huge waves that shake the sky. Several days of demonstrations did not get Xiu En to come forward to clarify, and the city hall also unexpectedly remained calm, as if Xiu En and the managers in Tenell City were planning to calm down the incident with cold treatment. The cold treatment method cannot be said to be wrong. It is indeed the most appropriate method when facing many problems, but sometimes it can only play a role in fueling the flames.

Because for some angry groups, silence means guilt.

In fact, it cannot be blamed that Xiu En chose the wrong way to deal with it. After all, he is not a detective with an administrative background. He has been playing the role of an executor since he entered the Police Investigation Bureau. His ability to deal with such things is far behind. None of the executives who sat in offices he once looked down on were any better at it. The media who are afraid of chaos, the angry middle class, the silent city managers, and Xiu En who don't know what to do, the whole Tenell City is like a huge fermentation vessel, and some subtle things are rapidly expanding.

"You should stand up and explain the matter clearly. Only in this way can this farce be calmed down as soon as possible." Xiu En gulped down the wine, and the bootleg alcohol he seized was all high-grade alcohol. According to the relevant regulations of the Bureau of Contraband Investigation and the Second Prohibition, the contraband that was inspected must be destroyed at regular intervals. Of course, it is not a big problem if insiders drink it before it is destroyed, as long as no one speaks out.

The elegant restaurant is divided into private spaces by curtains. There may be some voices around, but everyone consciously keeps the conversation in a low voice, which will not affect others or leak the conversation. Content. The silver tableware on the table shines dazzlingly under the light, and every dish is very exquisite. This is a high-grade restaurant, and the cost of meals is naturally very expensive, so those low-level and bottom-level people are naturally screened out. people.

Du Lin used a knife and fork to disassemble a whole piece of lobster meat. The price of this main dish is 89 yuan, and the price of this meal may exceed 300 yuan. But this is not important, not only Du Lin does not need to pay even a penny for this meal, but Xiu En does not need to pay anything for it. He only needs to nod his head, and the owner of the restaurant will waive the order for him with a smile. It's not because Xiu En is so great, nor is he acquainted with the owner of this restaurant, it's all because of his position. The more upscale the restaurant, the greater the demand for highly bootleg alcohol.

It is impossible for those wealthy businessmen and dignitaries to choose a low-alcohol fruit wine with a strange taste and astringent taste that can be bought for only one yuan. What they need is a high-alcohol wine that is full of charming aroma like liquid gold . This is related to a restaurant's income and customer base, so being able to make friends with a bureau chief like Xiu En who specializes in managing contraband is something that every restaurant owner is willing and hoping for.

Xiu En put down his wine glass, his eyes were a little scarlet, and the whites of his eyes were covered with blood. He hasn't had a good rest these past few days. Whenever he is about to fall asleep in a daze, the laughter of the children and the "bang bang" sound of simulated pistol firing can be heard in his ears. . At first he thought that someone was playing a prank and wanted to torture him in this way, but soon he discovered that it was not someone else's prank, but his hallucination.

He found a psychiatrist and took medicine, but the effect was very poor. Only drinking alcohol could help him. After drinking unconscious, he was able to sleep until dawn.

He shook his head with a wry smile, "If I say that I really didn't intend to do this, would you believe me?" His red eyes were fixed on Du Lin, and he wanted to know what Du Lin was thinking. In the past few days, people outside have criticized him, and people inside have criticized his behavior. The key issue is not that he shot and killed two children. The investigators in the investigation bureau are very clear that accidents are certain under such circumstances.

reasonable. The real problem is that he didn't hesitate to shoot the angry father and the grieving mother again, and that's the problem.

It is not terrible to make mistakes, but the most terrible thing is to cover up old mistakes with new ones after making mistakes.

Du Lin pondered for a while, then met his gaze, and nodded firmly, "I believe it, because you are not that kind of person."

"What you said is false, but I like to hear it." Xiu En breathed a sigh of relief. He pressed his hands on the table and pushed his body to lean back on the chair. "I can't fail, at least not now. I They know the city better than they do, and they also know the crimes hidden under the city. I am gone, they can’t fight those people, and they are likely to be divided and bought. In the end, RCA will become a garbage dump. This is I don't want to see it."

"I know, you may think that I am no better than them, but you have forgotten that as long as I am still here, their firepower will be concentrated on me, and the investigation bureau will still have a certain fighting capacity. I may not be a good person, But I'm definitely not a bad person!" When he said this, Xiu En seemed to be very emotional, he lowered his head and shook his head with a smile, "There are always some people who have to stand up, it used to be them, but now it's me."

Du Lin has no interest in Xiu En's feelings at all. Xiu En may be just like his evaluation of himself, neither a good person nor a bad person. But this has nothing to do with Du Lin. What Du Lin wants is revenge, and then take back what those people took from him. Of course, when he still needs to rely on Xiu En for help, he will definitely not disappoint.

Du Lin tore a small piece of bread, dipped it into his mouth with the sauce on the plate, and said vaguely: "I understand, this is the responsibility!"

"For responsibility!"

After the two cups collided, they were still in the air, and the surrounding curtain was suddenly lifted, and several detectives wearing uniforms with RCA printed on them came in and stood beside Xiu En. One of them was wearing a suit and had a shaved head. He first glanced at Du Lin, and after confirming that this kid was not a threat or a big shot, he unfolded a piece of paper in front of Xiu En, "Someone reported that you shot and killed innocent people." Residents, and fabricated evidence to frame the deceased in an attempt to hide their crimes, the director of the Kanles Contraband Investigation Bureau requires you to go to Al Odo to explain the situation immediately, and if you are convicted, you will pay the price for your actions."

Xiu En rolled his eyes and held the glass close to his mouth, but the guy grabbed his wine glass. The two wrestled secretly, but it seemed that Xiu En seemed to be the weak one. Xiu En let go suddenly, but the guy's hand holding the wine glass remained motionless. He glanced at Xiu En contemptuously, and pressed the wine glass on the table forcefully.

"As the director of the Contraband Investigation Bureau, you are really competent to drink bootleg alcohol on your own initiative!" He took out a handkerchief and wiped the back of his hand that was splashed with alcohol, and said with a wave of his hand, "Take it away!"

The deathly quiet restaurant became lively after the group of people left. Many people were talking about Xiu En, and many people applauded to show their approval. Du Lin shook his head and took a sip of the fine wine in his glass. , and continued to quietly taste the lobster meat on his plate. As for what will happen to Xiu En, it doesn't mean much to him whether there is any cooperation between him and Xiu En. He himself is in danger, so how can he help Du Lin?

Du Lin couldn't help thinking of what the boss in the dream often said to himself.

Relying on others is always better than relying on yourself!

The small storm will soon pass, and as for what kind of huge waves will be created outside, Du Lin has no control for the time being. What makes him embarrassed now is that he has no money in his pocket.

Seeing the waiter standing aside respectfully with a smile on his back, Du Lin suddenly thought why he didn't take him away with him, but left him to pay the bill.

After touching his pocket, Du Lin could only say frankly, "I didn't bring any money!"

"No, you brought it!" The waiter said with a smile.

Fortunately, the embarrassing atmosphere receded quickly. The waiter may not know Du Lin, but it does not mean that the owner of the restaurant does not know Du Lin. For people like Du Lin, most normal businesses still try not to offend them if they can. offending attitude.

After eating a Bawang meal and being sent out respectfully, it is really not a taste to think about it carefully.

Looking back at the feasting restaurant, Du Lin slowly blended with the pedestrians on the sidewalk with a stick in his mouth, and disappeared.

The next day, the news that Xiu En was arrested and sent back to Al Odo for review spread in the city of Tenere. For a while, the middle class who demonstrated outside the city hall were as excited as if they had won the Great Patriotic War. It was a difficult battle, and in the end they won. Sometimes happiness is such a simple thing, as long as the truth is not known.

After Xiu En left, everything seemed to return to the calm of the past. Trucks full of bootleg alcohol crossed the streets openly in broad daylight, restocking bars and restaurants. Occasionally, one or two excited young people can be seen coming out of a hidden alley, holding a small glass bottle tightly in their hands. Everything is the same as it was before the establishment of the Contraband Investigation Bureau, a peaceful picture.

But behind this peace, there is also something less peaceful.

"Xiu En is unreliable, we can only rely on ourselves." Du Lin, with a cigarette in his mouth, stepped on the chair, checking whether the pistol in his hand is functioning well, "I never thought that one day, I would Doing such unskilled work."

Ellis smiled silly on the side, and Duffer couldn't help laughing out loud.
