Chapter 17 Temple Street Bombed
The next day, Di Qing was woken up by a phone call.
He picked up the phone in a daze, and heard a suppressed angry voice on the other end of the line: "Ah Qing, what time is it and you are still sleeping? Aren't you going to buy horses today?"
"Buy a horse? Buy your mother, I just won hundreds of thousands last night, what horse should I buy?"
Di Qing thought it was a scam call and subconsciously wanted to hang up, but suddenly he came to his senses.
Buy a horse?
This seems to be the secret code his boss Gao Zongyang is using to contact him!
Di Qing's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He quickly got up, put on some clothes, went to the bathroom, locked the door, and then answered the phone again.
"Hello? Mr. Gao, I'm sorry, I just woke up and I didn't respond for a while."
The person on the other end of the phone said coldly: "PC9527, as a police officer, you participated in gambling and won hundreds of thousands? You are so impressive?"
Di Qing cursed in his heart and quickly said, "Gao Sir, you heard it wrong. How could I win any money? It was my boss Liang Kun who won money in the boxing match at Dongxing last night. I misremembered it and said it nonsense."
Gao Zongyang snorted coldly, but didn't care: "I don't care whether you win or not, just don't forget what your mission is!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Gao. I'm almost gaining Liang Kun's trust. As long as he lets me contact the fan club, I will notify you immediately. Then we can close the net and arrest the person. I also want to return to the police force as soon as possible."
Gao Zongyang said coldly: "It would be best if you understand."
After saying that, he changed the subject and asked, "Do you know what happened in Temple Street last night?"
Di Qing was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Gao, I only went to Tsim Sha Tsui last night and didn't go to Yau Ma Tei. How would I know what was going on in Temple Street?"
Gao Zongyang angrily asked: "Didn't you hear such a big noise last night?!"
Di Qing was completely confused. He had worked until late last night and slept like a dead pig. How could he have heard any noise?
"Sir Gao, stop teasing me. What's going on?"
Gao Zongyang suppressed his anger and said, "Temple Street was bombed last night, and more than a dozen people died."
"what?!"
Di Qing immediately raised his voice and asked in shock: "Really? Who is so bold?"
Gao Zongyang couldn't bear it any longer and yelled, "Can't you watch TV? And if I knew, why would I ask you what you did?!"
Di Qing said quickly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, I slept very soundly last night and really didn't hear anything. How about I go and ask around today?"
Gao Zongyang said coldly: "This matter is taken very seriously. Although the case is under investigation by the serious crime team, they suspect that it was caused by gang fights, so we, O Ji, must also cooperate in handling it. Use your connections to find out as soon as possible and find out who caused it!"
"Okay, no problem, I'll check it out today." Di Qing nodded in agreement.
"Report to me as soon as you have any news!"
After Gao Zongyang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"I'll report you!"
Di Qing cursed softly, "You dare to be so arrogant and think you can get promoted by relying on me to solve the case? You can just dream about getting promoted!"
However, despite his scolding, Di Qing still took the matter seriously.
After all, blowing up an entire street is no less than a terrorist attack in Hong Kong Island today. Even the Governor of Hong Kong would probably take this case very seriously.
Who is so bold as to play with bombs in the city?
Di Qing walked out of the bathroom with a serious face, went to the living room, turned on the TV, and lit a Marlboro, smoking while watching TV.
Soon, news about the bombing of Temple Street appeared in the news.
"Around 4am this morning, a bomb blew up Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, causing a small portion of the building to collapse. There were more than 70 casualties, including 12 deaths on the spot..."
"After preliminary police investigation, it is suspected that this was a premeditated terrorist attack, but it is not ruled out that it was caused by gang fights..."
Not only did the TV host report on the situation in Temple Street, but it also broadcast the scene after Temple Street was bombed, which looked very tragic.
"I'll be a good boy!"
Even Di Qing couldn't help but gasp.
If this was really caused by a gang fight, no matter which gang it was, if it was found out, it would definitely be in trouble. Fortunately, Hongxing didn't seem to have a branch in Yau Ma Tei, so this incident should have nothing to do with Hongxing.
Thinking of this, Di Qing felt a little relieved. He was still planning to rely on Hongxing to complete the system task. It would be terrible if Hongxing was wiped out by the police before the task was completed.
"Never mind, let's go ask Brother Kun first."
After thinking about it, Di Qing decided to go and find out. Even if it wasn't for that bastard Gao Zongyang, he also had to consider his future promotion.
But Gao Zongyang, this bastard, is definitely unreliable. Even if he has information, he can't give it to him. It seems that he still needs to think of a way to find a new backer in the police force...
Di Qing walked into the bedroom while thinking.
However, when he thought about what happened last night, he was still a little puzzled. How could he not hear anything about such a big bombing on Temple Street?
When did I become so low on vigilance?
"It's definitely not because of me! It must be because of these two demons who disturbed my mind. Amitabha..."
Di Qing said this while looking at the bed, but soon he was stunned.
"So it's still my fault? Am I right, Master?"
Qiu Di woke up at some point and sat on the bed, looking at Di Qing angrily, feeling both shy and angry.
She didn't expect that on the second day after she was with Di Qing, Di Qing brought another woman back. The most ridiculous thing was that the three of them slept together all night.
When he thought of everything that happened last night, Qiu Di wanted to take a big bite of Di Qing, this playboy!
The most important thing is that I don't know what happened to me last night. I actually agreed to his outrageous requests...
When he thought of that, Qiu Di's face turned even redder.
Seeing Qiu Di looking like she wanted to eat him, Di Qing smiled awkwardly. He knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't argue. He quickly walked to her side and comforted her, "It was just an impulse. No one expected it to be like this!"
Qiu Di said angrily, "I don't believe you. You brought a woman back for no reason. I thought you would really leave her alone to eat her."
"Hehe, I'm not a vegetarian. If there's meat in front of me, I'll definitely eat it!"
Di Qing said with a smile: "Okay, don't be angry, it has already happened anyway."
"What a bargain you got, you pervert!"
Qiu Di nodded his head. He wasn't really angry, he just couldn't accept it for the moment.
Because she knew very well that in today's society, not to mention those who are out for money, even those high-ranking officials and wealthy people have countless women behind their backs.
"Yeah, that's good!"
Di Qing kissed her, put on his clothes, took out another 100,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "I have something to do and need to go out for a while. You guys eat by yourselves, and I'll be back when I'm done."
Qiu Di nodded, but did not take the money: "I don't want your money, I have my own."
Di Qing patted her head and said, "Keep your money safe. I don't have the habit of spending women's money. Besides, we are together now, so why do we need to clearly distinguish what we do? What's mine is yours."
After saying that, he stuffed the money into her hand.
Hearing this, Qiu Di felt sweet in his heart, so he did not refuse anymore. He just reminded her with some concern: "Then you should be careful... and don't bring women back again!"
Di Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go!"
After saying that, he walked straight out the door and left.
Qiu Di then retracted his gaze, and then looked at Zhang Meirun who was covering her head with a quilt beside her. He patted the quilt unhappily and said, "Okay, he's gone, stop pretending to sleep!"
Zhang Meirun then poked her head out, her face flushed, and she shyly called out, "Sister Qiu Di."
Qiu Di looked at her delicate face and suddenly became angry again: "You look so young, but I didn't expect you to have so many little thoughts!"
Hearing this, Zhang Meirun no longer cared about being shy, and quickly grabbed Qiu Di's hand and said, "Sister Qiu Di, I never thought of competing with you, I just... just..."
"I know, you just like him, there's nothing wrong with that!"
Qiu Di snorted lightly, with a ladylike temperament, and stood up and said, "He is like this. Not to mention you, even I can't tie him down. Since you have chosen to be with him, you must think carefully."
Zhang Meirun nodded seriously: "I understand, Sister Qiu Di."
