Chapter 57: Football Night (Part 2)
Liang Xi sat on the bar chair with his back against the bar, his hands on the bar. There was no other way, no one was at the bar, so he had to pour the wine himself. The waiter and the bartender all joined the game. Baseball cap poured a glass of wine and placed it next to Liang Xi. Liang Xi looked at the wine and said, "I just took cefuroxime, I can't drink."
The noise was so loud that Liang Xi couldn't even hear what he said. Liang Xi patted the baseball cap's arm, and the baseball cap turned to look at Liang Xi. Liang Xi was startled. It was actually a girl. Red hair and black eyes, fair skin, beautiful face, regular features, and a raised corner of her mouth with a frivolous smile. Liang Xi nodded and gestured with both hands, pointing to the wine in the glass: "I don't drink."
The girl reached out and held Liang Xi's chin, looked around, let go of her hand, took the wine in front of Liang Xi and drank it in one gulp, and then poured herself another. Liang Xi felt good after being bullied. He wanted to strike up a conversation with the girl, but she was holding her head with one hand and facing away from him, and playing with her phone with the other hand. In addition, the noise made it impossible to communicate, so Liang Xi had to give up.
Liang Xi looked inside the bar and saw the tonic water. Although Baker had told him to, he was too embarrassed to go directly to the bar to get the tonic water. He wanted to seek Baker's help, but he saw Baker patting his chest like a gorilla and shouting at the Chelsea fans. Forget it.
At this time, the girl touched the back of Liang Xi's head and turned his head around. The girl held the screen of her mobile phone in her left hand and placed it in front of Liang Xi's eyes. Liang Xi saw the hotel reservation information, which was a hotel diagonally opposite the Happy Bar. Liang Xi looked up at the girl without understanding. The girl pulled Liang Xi in front of her and kissed him deeply. After a few seconds, she pushed Liang Xi away, put a banknote on the table and pressed it with a wine glass, then turned her head and left.
As a young man who had been single for a long time, Liang Xi was so excited by this kiss that his blood was boiling and he could hardly breathe. As if by some strange coincidence and like a thief, Liang Xi quietly avoided the cheering and noisy crowd and slipped out of the bar.
…
Liang Xi paced back and forth at the door of the hotel room, rehearsing his lines and brewing his emotions, and knocked on the door five minutes later. The door opened, and Liang Xi was about to say his lines when the girl grabbed his collar and pulled him in.
An hour later, Liang Xi was pushed into the bathroom. When Liang Xi came out of the bathroom, the room was empty. If it weren't for the messy bed sheets and his own clothes on the floor, Liang Xi would have thought he was having a sweet dream.
The two did not communicate verbally for an hour. Liang Xi did say something to try to communicate verbally, but the girl completely ignored what Liang Xi said. Liang Xi was very upset that he did not ask for the other party's phone number, and he did not even know the other party's name. However, as a detective, he had his own way. He contacted the floor waiter and told the waiter that his friend's phone was left in the room. The waiter asked Liang Xi why he did not know his friend's contact information or identity? Liang Xi motioned the waiter to take a look at the messy room, and gave the waiter a 20-pound tip.
A few minutes later, the waiter wrote the guest's information on a note and handed it to Liang Xi. Liang Xi looked at it and wanted to cry. Isn't this his information? How did the girl know his name was Liang Xi? How did she know his identity information?
Liang Xi turned on his phone and contacted Baker. Baker was very dissatisfied with Liang Xi's disappearance. Hearing that Liang Xi was in the hotel, he asked for information about a girl and laughed. However, Baker did not notice the girl in the baseball cap and denim jacket. He was sure that the girl was not from his department, and he would help Liang Xi find out.
Liu Zhen took Baker's call and asked Liang Xi why he didn't answer the phone. She knew that Liang Xi was in the hotel opposite. Liu Zhen explained to Liang Xi, who was still a little boy in her eyes: Don't care about this kind of thing, and don't ask for the other party's information.
Liu Zhen finally told Liang Xi that half an hour ago, Bobby left in a hurry after calling Liang Xi without success. Bobby told Liu Zhen that his sister suddenly went into shock and was sent to the hospital, and he had to rush to the hospital immediately. Hearing that Bobby was in the hospital, Liang Xi did not call Bobby back, but sent Bobby a message, expressing his regards to Bobby's sister and making an appointment to see ghosts together another day when they were free.
Although Liang Xi rarely goes to bars, he still knows the rules in a world where the Internet is so developed. But knowing the rules does not mean that he can lose his memory. Liang Xi scratched his head for five days and thought of various reasons to go to Happy Bar to drink black tea. It was a pity that he never saw the girl in the baseball cap again. Instead, he became a member as an hourly worker in the police department. Liu Zhen used the back door to help him get a membership. She had no choice, she had to go to work, and Liang Xi seemed to be particularly obsessed with the black tea in Happy Bar. He would ask her and Baker to go to the bar to drink tea whenever he had nothing to do. How could she bear this?
After getting the membership, Liang Xi waited for another five days, but still did not see the girl in the baseball cap. Liang Xi was extremely depressed and had to give up considering the problem of living expenses for next month. Although there was nothing else to do, it didn't cost much to stay in the detective agency and read books. Not to mention the money for tea, he burned half a tank of gasoline in these ten days, and because of waiting for the girl, he hadn't eaten with Mary for a week. It can be said that lust is a knife hanging over your head, which delays things too much. A real man should be able to take it and let it go. If you really can't let it go, open your phone to check the balance in the card. Life can inspire you to let go of everything.
…
Liang Xi was enjoying a comfortable and low-carbon life with a cup of tea and a book when the doorbell of the detective agency rang.
Business coming? Liang Xi put down the book and opened the door, looking down and seeing his old customer. Yes, it was Wendy, who was still missing two big front teeth and holding Winnie the Pooh, looking very unhappy. Liang Xi and Wendy looked at each other for a few seconds, and before Wendy was about to speak, he gently closed the door, returned to the fireplace, picked up the book, put on headphones, and sat on the recliner to continue reading.
I will never accept this little girl's order again, because her 20 pounds caused so much trouble. Paying the money is a small matter, the main thing is that a thief was shot and one person was imprisoned. For the sake of social harmony, I will never accept this little girl's order again.
If I can let go of my sister, why can't I let go of my little girl? Liang Xi quickly forgot about Wendy and immersed himself in the ocean of books. Suddenly, the door flew up, and it entered the room like a spinning top, spun a few times, and then leaned against the glass in the corridor without moving. Liang Xi's detective agency was in the shape of a dumbbell, with large rooms on each side and an corridor in the middle. The dead door directly blocked most of the corridor.
Damn! Who is so arrogant? It is true that if you sit at home, money will come from the sky. If you look at the problem from a different angle, the opportunity to blackmail people will come. Liang Xi took off the headset, stretched his head and watched quietly, and then Bobby walked in.
It turned out to be this stingy guy, what bad luck! Bobby was very sensible and said, "I have asked the bodyguard to deal with the door and replace it with the best door on the market for you."
Liang Xi asked, "How will you handle the delay in my detective agency's business?"
"Then we need business first." Bobby stabbed her in the heart and turned back to greet: "Wendy."
Wendy crawled out from Bobby's armpit and looked at Liang Xi: "Bad detective."
Bobby taught: "You can't say that, he can be kind sometimes."
Bobby looked at Liang Xi and said, "The expenses will be on me."
Liang Xi sat back down and said, "You two, please come this way."
