Chapter 173

Outside the City God Temple.

Qi Yue and Bai Xue got into the car.

Not far away, Li Tiezui was cleaning up the divination stall. When he had nothing to do, he came here almost every day to set up the stall. Fortune telling was his cover identity.

"Where have you been?"

Bai Xue asked Qi Yue.

"I met an acquaintance and chatted for a few more words."

Qi Yue said perfunctorily.

Bai Xue said: "It must be Gao Kejian."

Qi Yue was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that the car Gao Kejian was riding in was parked nearby, and Bai Xue might have accidentally seen it.

"Section Chief Gao is your elder. It seems impolite for you to call me by his first name like this."

Qi Yue said half-jokingly.

"you have not answer my question yet."

Bai Xue's face sinks like water.

Qi Yue nodded: "Yes, it's Section Chief Gao."

Bai Xue said: "So, you are not here to worship the Moon God, but to see Gao Kejian. You have made an appointment in advance - made an appointment on the phone before."

Qi Yue praised: "You are very smart by drawing inferences from one example."

Bai Xue said: "What I don't understand is, why didn't you say anything when you came? Just say it. Why did you use worshiping the moon god as an excuse?"

Qi Yue explained: "In our industry, we must strictly abide by confidentiality regulations. Work matters are not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world."

Bai Xue said: "Does that mean that every word you say from now on, I have to think carefully about which sentence is true and which sentence is false!"

"It's not that exaggerated..."

Qi Yue put on his sunglasses smoothly.

Li Tiezui passed by carrying a hexagram flag.

Qi Yue lowered the brim of his hat. He didn't want to be recognized by Li Tiezui. Considering his own safety, now was not the time to reveal his identity.

"I just want you to respect me!"

Bai Xue continued.

Qi Yue said: "Xue'er..."

Bai Xue said: "The premise of respect is sincerity!"

Qi Yue was a little confused. From morning to now, the two of them had always gotten along well. How could they be so good and so good and suddenly lose their temper?
"I'm tired and want to go home."

Bai Xue said to Qi Yue.

Just looking at her face, there was obviously emotion.

Qi Yue said: "I'll give it to you."

"You are busy with your work, so there is no need to send me off. I will go back in a foreign car by myself."

Bai Xue got out of the car and left without looking back.

Qi Yue was ready to catch up and explain carefully. It might just be a misunderstanding. As long as the matter was explained, it would be fine.

At this moment, a guy wearing a peaked cap hummed a tune and passed by the car: "You want me to come, who doesn't want to come? What kid doesn't want to come? Your house's wall is high, everywhere When setting up a fort, I’m afraid your father will use foreign cannons to get high..."

Qi Yue was "lucky" to hear these ridiculous singing lines once in Huifang - it was Jiang Bin's secret agent, Mao Yonggui, nicknamed Mouse!

Glancing at the rearview mirror, it turned out to be him!

It was the fruit season, and the streets were full of small vendors carrying burdens, selling melons, pears, and everything else. Li Tiezui bought a few apples, paid for them, and put them in the bag he carried with him.

Mao Yonggui also stopped, stood in front of the newsstand, picked up a magazine and flipped through it. This seemingly ordinary move aroused Qi Yue's suspicion.

Jiang Bin mentioned before that Mao Yonggui never went to school and often spelled his name wrongly. How would such a person be interested in books?
Qi Yue closed the half-open car door.

He wanted to see what this "mouse" was up to!
Li Tiezui continued walking along the street.

Mao Yonggui followed slowly.

Qi Yue lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and while staring at Mao Yonggui, he also watched Bai Xue, who was gradually slowing down, get into a foreign car.Gao Kejian and his wife walked over here.

Qi Yue opened the door and got out of the car to say hello.

"Vice Captain Qi of our department, this is my wife."

Gao Kejian introduced both parties.

Mrs. Gao looked Qi Yue up and down and said with a smile: "I was in Wenchang Hall just now. I was far away and couldn't see clearly. But when I took a closer look like this, wow, this young man is really a talented person!"

Qi Yue said: "You have given me the award."

Gao Kejian glanced at Bai Xue, who had just got into the rickshaw, and said to Qi Yue, "You guys came together?"

Qi Yue said, "Yes."

"Are you having trouble?"

Gao Kejian said with a smile.

Qi Yue nodded and sighed helplessly.

Gao Kejian said: "You just let her go on her own?"

Qi Yue said: "I'm angry too, it's good for both of us to stay calm."

Mrs. Gao said: "Oh, let me tell you, Vice Captain Qi has been out for so long, why hasn't he walked out yet? It turns out he brought his girlfriend here."

Qi Yue said, "Yes."

Mrs. Gao asked: "Why are you two at odds with each other?"

Gao Kejian frowned: "You have to get to the bottom of everything! Qi Yue, you don't need to pay attention to her."

Mrs. Gao said: "Ask what you are afraid of. I am doing this out of concern."

Qi Yue said: "Actually, it's nothing. When she came, I told her to go to the City God's Temple to worship the moon god. Then she found out that I was doing it for work, so she lost her temper..."

Mrs. Gao smiled and said: "You can't blame others for this matter, anyone else would be angry!"

Seeing Qi Yue's confused look, Mrs. Gao explained: "In our Binjiang area, men and women go to the City God's Temple to worship the moon god together, usually to the point of discussing marriage. The girl's family is thin-skinned, and it means that they can follow. She recognizes you in her heart, but she never thought that you just used this as a cover, do you think she can not be angry? "

Thinking back to the scene just now, Qi Yue suddenly realized.

This is indeed the case. Just like Bai Xue said, worshiping the Moon God is not casual. According to local customs, on the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month, men and women worshiping the Moon God are equivalent to making an engagement.

……

evening.

In a dim room.

Ma Zhuang put a stack of banknotes on the table.

Zhang Yuying glanced at it: "How much is this?"

Ma Zhuang said: "Two hundred."

Zhang Yuying frowned: "Ma Zhuang, what are you sending to the beggars? I want one thousand, you give me two hundred, what about the eight hundred?"

Ma Zhuang said with a grimace: "I don't have much money, so I just borrowed it."

Zhang Yuying said: "Dignified Police Department Lieutenant, can you still borrow 200 yuan?"

Ma Zhuang said: "I really borrowed it, I swear!"

Zhang Yuying said: "You still have the nerve to swear in front of me? Who swore that you would be good to me for the rest of your life, but in the end, you turned your back and ran away!"

Ma Zhuang was a little embarrassed: "I was not sensible at that time..."

Zhang Yuying sneered: "Are you ignorant? When you were under my bed, I saw that you knew a lot and had many tricks. It was all for my trouble..."

Ma Zhuang broke into a cold sweat: "Don't mention the past anymore. As for money... I'll think of a solution slowly. Give me some time."

Zhang Yuying said: "Didn't you say that when the police department pays salaries tomorrow, there will definitely be cash in the finance office? Go get it while there is no one on the public holiday!"

Ma Zhuang smoked a cigarette depressedly: "It's as simple as you said. I would have been rich long ago..."

"I don't care what you do, the amount of money you promised me won't matter even if you lose one big man!"

Zhang Yuying said coldly.
