Chapter 73
Lei Luo has no worries, only excitement!
Because of his excitement, he didn't sleep well last night.
After finally surviving until dawn, Lei Luo told his wife Bai Yuechang that he would not have breakfast at home.
Bai Yuechang knows that he likes to have breakfast at the "Hongyun Teahouse" outside whenever important events happen, because this teahouse has a good name, which is not only festive but also a good sign.
In addition, Chief Inspector Yao Mu was promoted to Chief Inspector many years ago after eating breakfast in this teahouse. The other big detective, Liu Fu, directly solved a shocking arms case after eating breakfast in this teahouse.
Hong Kong people have always been superstitious and believe in ghosts and gods, so the Fortune Tea House has directly become a "place of transshipment" in the minds of many inspectors Hua, who believe that drinking tea and food here early can help them get good luck.
"Hongyun Tea House" is located near Causeway Bay, with a prosperous terrain and a lot of guests.
When Lei Luo asked Chen Xijiu to drive him to the teahouse, there was already a car parked under the teahouse, a black Beetle sedan with the license plate number three sevens.
"Brother Luo, that's Yan Xiong's car." Chen Xijiu said to Lei Luo.
Lei Luo had also seen the license plate earlier, his license plate was three fives, Yan Xiong's was three sevens, many colleagues knew that.
"Never mind, let's get out of the car and eat first!" Lei Luo remained calm. For him, since Shi Zhijian helped him run a "Zonghua Detective", he only asked for one word: stability!
Hongyun Tea House has three floors, the bottom floor is open to the public, mainly selling barbecued pork buns and shrimp dumplings.
The second floor is for the white-collar workers, mainly selling higher-end siu mai and egg tarts.
As for the third floor, rich people can afford it. If you need it, ginseng soup, bird's nest and the like can be made for you.
Lei Luo is a regular customer of this teahouse, and the waiter took him to the third floor as soon as he saw him.
When they came to the third floor, the waiter was about to lead Lei Luo to the "Plum Blossom Hall", but Chen Xijiu said, "Did you make a mistake? Brother Luo has always booked the Peony Hall!"
The Peony Hall means "wealth and glory", and it is Lei Luo's favorite room, so every time he comes to the Fortune Tea House to have morning tea, he will have it in this private room.
The waiter said with a bitter face: "I'm sorry, Inspector Lei, someone has already sat down in the Peony Hall today, and the Plum Blossom Hall is also pretty good, with a wide view..."
"Kuankuo, you ghost!" Before the waiter could finish speaking, Chen Xijiu was already furious, "What the hell is the Plum Blossom Hall? Plum Blossom, you will be in bad luck! Hurry up and make room for us in the Peony Hall!"
The waiter was in a dilemma, the owner of the restaurant ran over after hearing the news, and when he saw Lei Luo, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Inspector Lei, this waiter is not sensible! Otherwise, I'll help you change a private room, how about the Rose Hall?" ? If you still don’t like it, go to the Begonia Room!”
Lei Luo didn't speak, Chen Xijiu grabbed the boss's skirt: "You don't understand people's language? What we want is the Peony Hall, not some roses, Begonia!"
Lei Luo also said: "I have always reserved the Peony Hall. Boss, if you let this hall out without saying hello, what face will I have for Lei?"
The owner of the restaurant had a bitter face: "I can't help it, the Peony Hall is indeed occupied! And, you also know the person who occupied the Peony Hall, Inspector Lei."
Lei Luo's gaze was like a falcon: "Is it Yan Xiong?"
The boss nodded, "If it wasn't him, who else would it be?" After a pause, he continued, "Inspector Lei, you pity those of us who do business! Inspector Yan Xiongyan, you know that if you offend him, in the future Our teahouse is definitely going to close down!"
Chen Xijiu: "Aren't you afraid of offending Brother Luo?"
The owner of the restaurant glanced at Lei Luo, who had deep eyes, and said boldly: "Inspector Lei, you don't like to hear, we are actually doing business like weighing a scale, and we know which end is light and which is heavy! In the past Detective Lei, you have a high position and authority, of course we will reserve the Peony Hall for you! But now..."
The owner of the restaurant understands Lei Luo even if he doesn't mention it. Now the news is spreading in the streets and alleys. He, Lei Luo, will be stepped down by Yan Xiong and sent to the frontier to guard the New Territories.
Those who act according to the wind, as well as those who push the high and step down, don't rush to attack him and flatter Yan Xiong? !
Chen Xijiu was about to get angry, but was stopped by Lei Luo, "It's better to change to a private room!" Then he turned to the restaurant owner and said, "I'm in a good mood today, prepare more breakfast for me, remember, want the best!"
"Good!" The restaurant owner smiled happily.
Although Lei Luo is down and out now, he is still Inspector Hua anyway, and these businessmen can't afford to offend them.
Lei Luo casually ate some breakfast in the Rose Hall. Although he asked the restaurant owner to prepare the most expensive one, he really didn't have the appetite to eat it.
On the contrary, Chen Xijiu was so angry that he ate three bowls of bird's nest porridge and a dozen oysters in one go.
Seeing that he ate so deliciously, Lei Luo gave Chen Xijiu his share.
At this time, Lei Luo only wanted to finish his breakfast so that he could go to the Central Police Station to attend today's appointment and dismissal meeting.
...
The Central Police Station is located on Hollywood Road, Central District, Hong Kong Island. It is also the first police station in Hong Kong.
The police station controls other major police stations in Hong Kong, including three on Hong Kong Island, five in Kowloon, and eight in the New Territories.
At seven o'clock in the morning, when Lei Luo finished breakfast at the Hongyun Tea House and took a car to the Central Police Station, the gate of the police station had not yet opened.
Chen Xijiu waved to the fat guard in the duty room.
The fat guard leaned out of the duty room to look at the license plate, and saw Chen Xijiu waving at him through the window, and confirmed that it was the car of Inspector Hua Lei Luo.
In the past, the fat guard had already run out of the duty room, opened the door in a hurry, and finally nodded and bowed to Lei Luo, saying a few flattering words.
But today, when he saw Lei Luo's car, he was indifferent and still stayed in the duty room.
Anyone with a little bit of information would know that Lei Luo was going to be stepped down by Yan Xiong this time. Not only would he lose the oily You Jianwang, but he would also be transferred to that poor place in Yuen Long to pick up cow dung.
When Chen Xijiu saw that the fat guard didn't open the door, he couldn't help but honked the horn.
The horn beeps.
The fat guard then pretended to come out of the duty room, stretched and yawned, glanced inside the car, and said with a smirk, "I thought it was the other one, but it turned out to be Inspector Lei's car! What's the matter, brother Xijiu, what are you doing by honking the horn?"
Chen Xijiu held back his anger, glanced at Lei Luo, who was sleeping with his eyes closed behind him, turned his face and said to the fat guy's guard, "Open the door, fat boy!"
The fat guard grinned: "I'm sorry, brother Xijiu, the door can only be opened at eight o'clock before the stipulated time!"
Just as Chen Xijiu was about to get angry, a car horn sounded from behind him again. The fat guard turned his head to look, and immediately greeted him with a smile, "Wait a minute, Inspector Yan, I'll open the door for you!"
After finishing speaking, the fat guy hurriedly ran over to open the gate, and finally saluted Yan Xiong's car with his chest up and belly, with an extremely respectful gesture.
Yan Xiong's car and Lei Luo's car passed by.
Yan Xiong glanced at Lei Luo.
It just so happened that Lei Luo also opened his eyes.
With a smile on Yan Xiong's face, he spit out two words at Lei Luo: "Push the street!"
Lei Luo didn't speak, but Chen Xijiu was furious, and drove directly to keep up.
Only then did Lei Luo say: "It's okay for people to leave the tea cold, but before I leave, the tea will be cold first!"
Then he said: "Slow down! I want to see how many people want to step on my Lei Luo!"
