"Hahaha, come, cheers!" At the dining table that was filled with delicacies, Jessica stood up and toasted Zhao Yu. "Welcome, China's top detective! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time! "
Zhao Yu stood up and clinked glasses with Jessica, then downed the liquor in his glass in one gulp. Zhao Yu also stood up and clinked glasses with Jessica, then downed the liquor in his glass.
The liquor was strong and spicy. After drinking it, Zhao Yu felt like his chest was on fire.
But, in order to show that he was extraordinary, he forced himself to act as if nothing had happened and shouted, "Good liquor, good liquor."
"Hahaha … Refreshing! Refreshing! Much better than your father-in-law! " With a wave of Jessica's hand, a waiter in a suit immediately filled Zhao Yu's glass with wine.
They were drinking a local vodka-like liquor, which had a high alcohol content and was extremely spicy. Usually, they would mix it with soft drinks or ice cubes. If they drank it directly, it was no different from drinking alcohol.
The wine glasses they used were very special. It was a golden wine glass in the shape of a lotus. One glass could hold two ounces of liquor. According to the concentration of the liquor, an ordinary person would reach their limit after drinking two or three glasses.
"Wahaha!" Zhao Yu laughed maniacally. Just as he filled his glass, he picked up the glass and said to Jessica, "Come, thank you old Jessica for your warm hospitality. This glass of liquor is for you!!!"
"Mm …" Jessica didn't expect Zhao Yu to drink like that. She looked at him strangely.
"Come, let's drink first!" Zhao Yu raised his head and emptied the cup. There was not a single drop of wine left.
He tipped the glass over to Jessica, which made her feel a little awkward.
Left with no choice, Jessica could only frown and force herself to drink another cup.
"Phew …" Even though she was the host, Jessica was still pouting from the spiciness.
The waiter looked at Jessica's expression and hesitated. He stood in his spot and didn't continue to pour.
"Hey?" Zhao Yu snorted and pointed at the waiter. "Waiter, how can you be so rude? Can't you see that we are out of liquor? Come on, fill it up for us!! "
Zhao Yu's loud roar made the waiter shiver. He quickly filled Zhao Yu and Jessica's glasses for the second time.
"Wahaha … That's more like it!" Zhao Yu laughed maniacally as he raised his glass and said to Jessica, "Where I come from, we all drink three glasses first!
"Come, Old Carl, let's toast to find Miao Kun soon!"
"…" Jessica swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhao Yu as though he was looking at a monster.
Needless to say, the reason why Jessica had arranged for liquor to be served to Zhao Yu at the banquet was because she had her own plans.
He wanted to take the opportunity to get Zhao Yu to drink a few more glasses. He wanted to use the power of the liquor to make Zhao Yu shy, or to get some information out of him.
However, he had never expected that Zhao Yu would turn the tables on him the moment he came up, and actually put him in his place.
"This …" Jessica's face was flushed red, sweat beading on his forehead. Even though he had a high tolerance for alcohol, he had never drunk such strong alcohol before. He could only wave his hand and say, "This won't do! Our wine has a high alcohol content. You can't drink it consecutively! "
"F * ck!" Zhao Yu pulled a long face. "Are you looking down on me? That's not giving me any face at all! Drinking three glasses first is the most basic etiquette in my hometown. Even if I were to die after drinking three glasses, I can't neglect our esteemed guest!
"Come on! I'll drink first as a sign of respect! "
Then, Zhao Yu tilted his head back and drank the strong liquor in one gulp. When he tipped the glass over, not a single drop was spilled.
This time, Jessica was completely embarrassed.
If he drank another glass, it would be six ounces. Even half a catty would be very high. The alcohol content of the liquor was around 60 degrees. If he were to drink this glass, it would be hard for Jessica to guarantee that he would still be able to keep a clear head.
Because of this, he held the glass of wine in his hand, looking lost.
Hmph!
Zhao Yu laughed in his heart. Little guy, it would be a miracle if I didn't kill you! Anyway, I have an alcohol dissolver. Not to mention a few ounces of liquor, I can even drink the whole bottle without a problem!
"Hey? You won't even give me face, right? "Zhao Yu pretended to be surprised." After three glasses, we can officially start drinking! "
Crash …
The waiter next to him didn't stand properly, and the bottle made a rattling sound …
"Mm …" Jessica really had no choice. He pinched his nose and drank the glass of liquor with difficulty, as though he was drinking poison.
Looking at his pained expression, it was as though his father had died.
"Good! That's a good friend, wahaha! "Zhao Yu laughed maniacally again. Then, he raised his arm and gestured for the waiter to pour more liquor.
This time, the waiter's hair stood on end. He had never seen someone who could drink so much in his eight lifetimes.
At the crucial moment, Jessica's reaction was fast enough. He quickly held Zhao Yu's arm and said with a smile,
"Detective Zhao, bro Zhao!" Jessica was almost begging. "You don't know, but in Kosovo, other than liquor, our wine is also very famous!
"Come …" He quickly gestured to the waiter. "You're here, you have to … mm … you have to try it, hehehehe …"
Because of the alcohol, Jessica couldn't speak properly.
The waiter understood immediately and quickly ran to the wine rack. He put down the bottle of liquor and replaced it with a bottle of red wine.
Humph …
Seeing Jessica admit defeat, Zhao Yu smiled in satisfaction. He pretended to be dizzy and said, "Mm, this is not bad, this is not bad!
But, there is a rule in my hometown. After changing the wine, you have to drink three glasses in a row! Hahaha … "
What the …
Hearing this, the waiter and Jessica both fell to the ground …
…
After more than ten minutes, Jessica finally came back to his senses and his eyes regained some clarity.
This time, he didn't dare to take the initiative to propose a toast to Zhao Yu. He tried to change the topic.
"So … The matter of saving Feale Miao can only be postponed?" Jessica shook his head and sighed. "Actually … You are a detective. There are many things that can't be hidden from your eyes.
To be honest, I was really anxious!
A few years ago in Bucharest, if it wasn't for Feale Miao risking his life to leak the news to me, I would have been killed by a bomb!
Because of that, he was punished! "
"This time, he got into trouble. No matter what, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing! Do you know? " Jessica's face was red, but he looked sincere and calm. "Sometimes, when it comes to solving a problem like this, it's not as easy as us, who are not in the government!
We have more connections and more money, so we can often find information that the government can't!
Over the years, I've been able to make a name for myself in Europe because of my connections. Even when I encountered difficulties at the national level, I relied on my connections to solve them! "
"I understand, but … Military orders must be obeyed!" Zhao Yu said. "If you take action now, it's very likely that there will be a misunderstanding with our people. This is what my father-in-law doesn't want to see.
So, it's better that you don't get involved in this matter! I think they can handle it! "Zhao Yu said.
"Alright!" Jessica said helplessly. "I was going to contact Li Bencheng! If that's the case, I'll listen to you. But, I really have a lot of connections in North Africa. If you need help, remember to look for me! "
"I know, but …" Zhao Yu said. "In order to avoid suspicion, I can't go there now.
"I can use this time to fulfill my promise and help you research this Wallet Murder Case!"
