Why it never ends

Chapter 157 Invitation

Curiously, Su Lei called the editorial office number left on the newspaper, but there were two busy signals on the other end of the phone, and there was no further movement.She called Tan Yi's local signal center directly and asked for the address of the number, but was quickly told that it was an empty number.

After Su Lei hung up the phone, he saw the small print under the headline:
We solemnly declare that all the information you read in this newspaper are all fictitious and purely fictitious.

...Heh, even the phone call is fictitious, right?
"Officer Su Lei!" A young police officer pushed the door in. "The replacement of the city's military guards has been completed."

"Okay." Su Lei put away the newspaper, "Have they all gone back, or are they evacuating in batches?"

"Uh... They are still in Tan Yi, but they are no longer patrolling. At present, Inspector Paula has arranged for them to be stationed in the surrounding area so that they can be called when needed."

Su Lei leaned back a little puzzled, "My order should be to let them all leave Tan Yi, where did they come from, and where did they go back—is that right?"

"Yes, but..." The constable was perplexed. "The inspector said he felt—"

"Where are the others?"

"In the office on the second floor."

……

When Su Lei stepped into Pauler's office, she was not surprised to find that Avinash was also there—Avinash was sitting on Pauler's office chair, and Pauler was sitting on the loveseat against the wall.

"What's the matter, Officer Su Lei?" Paule looked sideways at Su Lei.

"I heard that you didn't withdraw the military guards temporarily transferred yesterday." Su Lei stood at the door without going in. "I want to ask why?"

"Oh, this matter..." Paula paused, "I have already stationed them in the outskirts of Tanyi, what's wrong?"

Su Lei looked thoughtfully at the ground in front of Paule's feet, and his voice was as calm as ever, "I reminded you yesterday that so many unfamiliar police forces have been raised at this juncture, and it is very likely that the The murderer took advantage of the loophole, what did you say at that time?"

"Uh……"

"You said you hoped that I could listen to some of your opinions. After all, you are more familiar with the situation here..." Su Lei blinked regretfully, "Now you continue to let these people station in the outskirts, and you can guarantee that the murderer will not come again." Mix in like last night, and then wait for the opportunity?"

Pauler coughed, "Officer Su Lei, I think—"

"She's right." Avinash interrupted Paule, "If it weren't for the fact that the members of the patrol team last night were from military guards in different cities, and everyone was unfamiliar with each other, the murderer wouldn't be so arrogant. Showed up straight. Not only did it cause a commotion, but it directed everyone's attention in the wrong direction."

Avinash played with Paule's pen in his hand, "Tan Yi is not too big, so he doesn't need so many people at all. It is enough to deploy a small police force to quickly patrol the city."

Pauler's expression immediately became serious, "...Oh, it's better to let everyone withdraw to the original team as soon as possible."

Si Lei at the door smiled politely.

"Do you have anything else to do, Officer Su Lei?" Avinash looked at Su Lei.

"May I ask what you are talking about with Officer Paule right now?" Su Lei leaned forward slightly, and she looked directly into Avinash's eyes, "If there is a change in the defense plan tonight, it seems that you should also notice me?"

"No, tonight's deployment has not changed. We are just talking about things that have nothing to do with work. I think you will not be interested." Avinash replied.

During the silence, Si Lei slowly raised his left eyebrow.

Pauler looked away guiltily, raised his hand, covered his face and yawned, pretending to be unaware of the tense confrontation in front of him.

"See you tonight."

"See you tonight."

"See you tonight."

Closing the door of Pauler's office, the corridor became even darker. It was just before dark, and many public places in the police station hadn't turned on the lights. Su Lei walked in the shadow of the building.

She adjusted her breathing and reminded herself to stay calm. Although Si Lei really didn't like the current situation, it wasn't the first time she had encountered this kind of thing.

Paule's cooperation was obviously reserved. As an airborne investigator, she always had to mediate in this relationship.

Avinash is a Mercury Needle that is completely under the coalition government, and his relationship with Paule will indeed be closer, not to mention that Chiba has also revealed to her before that Avinash and many officials in important positions in the third district They all maintain a good relationship, and for Pauler, who is about to retire, he can be regarded as a distinguished guest delivered to his door.

At this moment, Su Lei's cell phone rang, and it rang twice in a monotonous tone: it was not a phone call, but a text message.

Si Lei bowed his head, the letter was written by none other than Qianye.

Chiba: What's up tonight?

A question mark slowly floated on Su Lei's head—you are not talking nonsense...

Su Lei: What's wrong?
Chiba: Come to my apartment and treat you to dinner.

Si Lei couldn't help but frowned: Why are you so idle?
Chiba: Just say whether you come or not, we will talk when you come, and forget it if you don’t come.

Su Lei: Address?

Chiba: C-202, AHgAs staff apartment, No. 27 Kelly Avenue, access code 1734.

Chiba: Do you still have black pepper?We forgot to buy it.

Su Lei narrowed his eyes: us?Who else is at your apartment tonight?

After sending this message, Si Lei waited for a while, but Qianye did not reply.

She thought for a while, then wrote: How long will this meal last?

Chiba replied again in seconds: If it is short, it will be an hour, if it is long, it is up to you.

Su Lei sent an "ok" and went back to the office to get his coat and car keys.There are not many things that require her to appear in person tonight-the current armed force against the murderer has been transferred from the Tanyi Police Department to the two mercury needle teams led by AHgAs and Avinash respectively. Before and after the point, check whether the defense in the city is complete.

She thought that Qianye would be very busy tonight, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

……

About half an hour later, Su Lei drove to the apartment downstairs in Chiba.

Although I don't know if Chiba's strength is as strong as other mercury needles, but her level is really top-notch when it comes to tantalizing people.

At this point, the administrator on the first floor of the apartment had already left work, and the empty hall was pitch black. It wasn't until Si Lei passed through the coded door that the sensor lights in the hall turned on by themselves.

She went up the stairs to the second floor, and when she was still in the corridor, she smelled a strong aroma of garlic. When she came to room 202, Su Lei rang the doorbell.

The person who opened the door was Chiba, "You are so fast!"

Su Lei directly threw a small bag of pepper in his hand at her, and Qianye raised his hand to catch it.

"Find a pair of slippers yourself." Chiba pointed to the shoe rack beside her, turned around and entered the kitchen, "Here comes the black pepper."
