Chapter 22: The gambling father, the mother who died young, the helpless and precocious him
"Is the injury on your hand okay?" He asked, Li Ming shook his head, "It's just a broken skin."
< br>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. It can be concluded that it was done by two people."
Li Ning After taking a lot of photos from all angles, Li Ming took a look and saw that the man died of 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 a troubled time. 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."
"Blue Star originally planned to build 500 livable cities here..."
Li Ning muttered a lot, mostly dissatisfied with Xingchuang Company, and the people in the outer city Chaos is also 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 winking middle-aged man next to him and felt a little confused. Bald.
"Old 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 sexy women from the Society of Roses, right?"
Li Ning stopped moving, and a strange look appeared on his face. With a look on his face, he finally remembered and asked: "Where did you get the news 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?"
"It's nothing..." Li Ning shook his head and said nothing.
These old guys had teased him a lot before. When they realized that Li Ming was completely different from what they had thought, the expressions on their faces would be very exciting.
At noon, they went to the cafeteria of the City Health Department to eat 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 is more expensive than ordinary nutrient solutions.” Li Ning reminded. Li Ming tasted it and found that it was full of juice. After being eaten, it was quickly decomposed, and the nutrients in it were absorbed by the cells. Scrambling to devour.
The welfare of the City Health Department is not bad.
Not long after the two of them ate, news 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 in the 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 big moves tomorrow. I should get off work early today. Just do whatever you want."
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 face changed and he sighed: "It must have something to do with those guys who died."
Yes. Because of the information I provided? Li Ming secretly guessed.
While sorting out his things, Li Ning 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 23% annual mortality rate of City Guards comes from?" Li Ning faintly asked. He said, "If the difficulty is like ours today all day long, how could anyone die." "Our Silver Gray City is not peaceful..."
"Because of the 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 Wei was 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.
The over-exploitation by Xingchuang Company caused the commercial value of Silver Gray Star to drop sharply.
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 outer city gangs are too long-handed, or cause major public opinion, we always have to take action."< br>
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 thought that Li Ming's overmaturity made him ignore that the other party's father had just died.
Li Ming had never worked before. It is said that his father mortgaged the house before he died. I don’t know what he did with the money. Anyway, there was not a penny in the account.
Several veterans speculated that Li Changhai might have gone to an underground casino.
The gambling father, the mother who died early, the helpless and precocious him... Li Ning's eyes changed, and he laughed, "Look at what you said, this call of brother can't be in vain."
"I have enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. I have indeed saved some money. How much can I borrow?" he asked.
Li Ming stretched out two fingers.
"Two thousand, simple, 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, right? I'm consuming a lot..." Li Ming explained, "I also want to improve my strength as soon as possible."
"That's it..." Li Ning thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem, give me the account number."
It's not that he's afraid that Li Ming won't return it. If something goes wrong, with Captain Yang's character, he will have to make up for it when the time comes.
I was a little surprised by the amount of money, but after hearing Li Ming's request, I understood that strengthening the body would consume a lot of money, especially in the later stages.
"However, you don't need to be too anxious. The better gene seeds are ridiculously expensive, and the ministry has to wait in line for a quota. I have already waited several years." Li Ning comforted himself with a smile.
Li Ming reported his account number and the transfer was quickly completed. The two went downstairs and separated.
Li Ming did not go back. He had a "huge sum of money" in his hands. It was time to spend it. The metal energy had bottomed out. He wanted to find a way to make some money.
