chasing the dark

Chapter 196 Go out and say

When Ye Zhanzhou asked if Lei Yongnian was around, the man sitting behind the desk rolled his eyelids and looked back at the computer: "Just sit there and wait, he'll be right back."

"Let's wait outside, thank you." Ye Zhanzhou said.

After waiting outside the door for a few minutes, a man came from the other end of the corridor with a brown paper bag in his hand.

This person looked to be in his forties, about 1.7 meters eight, and thin.

The prosecutor's uniform is unbuttoned, consisting of a navy sweetheart-neck sweater and a blue shirt.

His hair was quite thick, but it was mixed with a lot of gray hair that didn't match his age.Coupled with his slightly hunched back, he looked a little decadent.

When the man saw the two people at the door of the office, his footsteps paused slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

He came over, stood still at a distance of about two meters, did not speak, just looked at a man and a woman opposite.To be exact, his eyes were more on Jiang Yu's face.

"Are you Lei Yongnian?" Although it was a question, Ye Zhanzhou's tone was very firm.

"It's me." Lei Yongnian turned his gaze over, "You are?"

He asked "you", not "you".

Ye Zhanzhou slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Ye Zhanzhou, deputy captain of the first team of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the City Bureau."

In the past, when he introduced himself, he often only mentioned the unit and name, but this time he gave details and brought his position.

Not only that, but he also tilted his head to the side: "Her, I don't need to introduce it, do I?"

Lei Yongnian snorted and shook the kraft paper bag in his hand: "Wait for me for 10 minutes, let's go out and talk."

"Go out and turn right into the parking lot, I'll wait for you there."

……

After getting in the car, Lei Yongnian rushed over without waiting for 10 minutes.

He put on a long black overcoat with the collar turned up, covering most of his face.

Ye Zhanzhou drove the car over, lowered the window and signaled him to get in the car.

Lei Yongnian opened the back door without hesitation and got in.

The black off-road vehicle drove out of the parking lot, and Ye Zhanzhou glanced at the rearview mirror of the car: "You know this neighborhood, is there a quieter restaurant? Let's chat while eating."

Lei Yongnian looked out the car window and said, "About two kilometers ahead, there is a Northeast restaurant, go there."

Afterwards, no one in the car spoke again, and when they arrived at the restaurant, Lei Yongnian got out of the car first.

The restaurant he was talking about was not too big. On the second floor, there was a signboard made of logs with the words Liu Family Courtyard engraved on it, and a row of red lanterns hung below.

Entering the inside, it is full of the atmosphere of the Northeast farmyard, and even the chair covers are made of large flowered cloth with a red background.

It's just after eleven o'clock now, and there are already several tables of customers sitting on the first floor. It seems that the business of this restaurant is good.

Jiang Yu couldn't help wondering, is such an environment really suitable for talking about things?

Lei Yongnian seemed to be quite familiar with the people here. A girl in a red coat greeted him with a smile on her face when she saw him: "Brother Lei is here! Who are you today?"

"Just the three of us." Lei Yongnian swiped his finger backwards, "The third uncle's family."

"Success," the girl replied readily, "Brother Lei, take someone up, and I'll be right there."

Going up to the second floor, Jiang Yu finally understood what "the third uncle's house" meant.

The first floor of the entire restaurant is full of scattered seats, and the second floor is private rooms.And the naming of private rooms is very unique: grandma's house, fourth aunt's house, second uncle's house...

The third uncle's house is located on the innermost side, separated from other private rooms by an aisle.Even if the door is closed, it will not have much impact on the people inside.

Moreover, the door of the private room is made of solid wood. As long as the voice is lowered, it may not be possible to hear what the people inside are saying from the outside.

I have to say that the place Lei Yongnian chose is really good.

After sitting down for a while, the red-coated girl came in with a teapot in one hand and a small straw woven dustpan in the other.

In the dustpan are peanuts, melon seeds, and a few pieces of sorghum glutinous rice wrapped in colorful sugar wrappers.

While pouring tea for the three of them, the girl smiled and said, "The blood sausage just arrived this morning, and the flesh and blood have just been dismantled."

Lei Yongnian didn't even look at the menu, and ordered two meat and two vegetarian dishes and a stew.

Ye Zhanzhou added two more vegetables and pimple soup, and when the girl went out, he popped a cigarette and handed it over.

Lei Yongnian was also polite, took it over and clicked: "It came faster than I expected."

His nonsensical words, but the other two understood it.

Jiang Yu asked, "How...how do you know me?"

"The day you went to the Municipal Procuratorate, I watched you." Lei Yongnian puffed out his cigarette, "You talked to Mu Jian and mentioned the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau. After asking someone to inquire, I was sure that you are Jiang Jian's daughter."

Hearing him mention his father, Jiang Yu pursed his lips: "Are you familiar with my father?"

"When I was a clerk, I handled cases with Jiang Jian. Later, I finally passed the legal examination and became an assistant prosecutor. I was officially transferred to work with Jiang Jian." Lei Yongnian took a sip of tea, "Jiang Jian's There are photos of your family of three on the desk, and you haven't changed much from when you were a child."

Jiang Yu stared at him for a few seconds before asking, "What do you want to do?"

Lei Yongnian put down his glass: "Isn't my meaning obvious enough? Of course I want to reverse the case back then!"

"Then why bother?" Ye Zhanzhou chuckled.

"For such a big matter, I have to be cautious, right? If Xiaoyu...is it okay to call you that?" Lei Yongnian turned his head and asked Jiang Yu, and after she nodded, he continued, "If Xiaoyu also has the same problem I believe she will find me. Then, this matter can go on. Otherwise, everything can be regarded as not happening. "

Jiang Yu was a little ashamed, and said truthfully, "I didn't find you."

"It doesn't matter," Lei Yongnian spread his hands, "Aren't you two together?"

"What do you want?" Ye Zhanzhou's eyes were burning like a torch, as if he wanted to see through people at a glance.

Lei Yongnian didn't say anything to avenge Jiang Jian, but said: "Truth and fairness. I haven't left these years, but I have been looking for opportunities."

He took a deep breath: "To tell you the truth, I took the exam for several years, and I didn't pass until I was 28. I waited for another year before I became an assistant prosecutor. As long as I keep going, I will become an assistant prosecutor sooner or later." The real prosecutor. It's a pity... I didn't wait for that day, but I waited for a transfer order."

"Actually, I understand that this is forcing me to leave by myself. But I don't want to. Isn't it just to manage the files? Well, I don't need to work overtime, and I don't need to work continuously. I don't know how much easier it is than when I was in the city procuratorate. The salary is not bad. How much, anyway, I don't care, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry."

A knock on the door interrupted Lei Yongnian, and the girl in the red coat brought someone to serve the food.

The young man who came in with him was wearing a mandarin jacket and a melon cap, and he opened his mouth to pay New Year's greetings, which diluted the dull atmosphere a lot.
