After the young man poured them tea and left, Ji Fei opened his mouth. "Old Zheng, we're old friends, so I'll just say what I want to say. Black Panther didn't do it properly this time. Not only did he injure my little brother and put him in the hospital, he even asked for a million yuan in compensation. You said his little brother was stabbed to death, but what does that have to do with my little brother? He's too immoral, isn't he? Who in the world would do something like that? " Old Cripple Zheng took a drag on his pipe and spat out a mouthful of smoke. He raised his eyelids and lazily looked at Li Rui. "Is this your little brother?" Ji Fei said, "No, this is my little bro. The little bro that Black Panther killed was my little bro's classmate. He's still lying in the hospital, how can he stand up? "
Old Cripple Zheng didn't pay attention to Ji Fei's words, but his interest in Li Rui was piqued. He pointed at him with his pipe and said, "This little brother of yours isn't simple. What does he do?" Ji Fei laughed. "Oh, you said he's not simple? How is he not simple? "
Li Rui was also very curious and stared at him.
Old Cripple Zheng said lightly, "There aren't many people in Qingyang City who can maintain their true colors in front of me, Old Cripple Zheng. Do you think he's a simple person? "Ji Fei laughed." Old Zheng, if I don't say I admire you, your eyesight is really good. You're right, this little brother of mine isn't an ordinary person. "Old Cripple Zheng asked," Could he be the new leader of your city bureau? It's rare to see such a young leader. " Ji Fei smiled. "Our city bureau is great in your eyes, but it's nothing in my little brother's eyes. A small temple can't raise a big Buddha. "
Li Rui smiled contentedly and didn't say anything.
Old Cripple Zheng didn't ask any more questions. He said to Ji Fei, "You asked me to reason with you, so I'll reason with you. Otherwise, you'll say we're bullying you. Did he go to his mahjong hall to play? Was he responsible for the safety of his guests? Someone was killed in his restaurant. As the boss, does he have any responsibility? "
After these three questions were thrown out, Ji Fei was deeply troubled. He glanced at Li Rui and saw that he was also somewhat troubled.
Ji Fei said, "Yes, he is responsible for the safety of the guests, but that depends on what kind of safety it is. If it was a problem with his mahjong parlor itself that created the danger and hurt the customers inside, as the owner, he naturally had to bear the main responsibility. However, if it was a safety issue caused by a quarrel between customers, what did it have to do with him as the owner? Of course, if they really fought, as the boss, he would definitely go up and stop them. But the problem was, did the two of them give him a chance to stop the fight? White Knife went in, and Red Knife came out. It was only a matter of a few seconds, and he died. He couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. Does this have anything to do with him? "
After hearing Ji Fei's explanation, Li Rui let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he understood that Old Cripple Zheng had used the excuse of "protecting the safety of the guests" to cover up the fact that the victim deserved it. He had almost been fooled by him. Only now did he realize that this mafia boss was very cunning and not easy to deal with.
Old Cripple Zheng said, "How can it have nothing to do with him? Someone was killed in his restaurant. Do you dare say it has nothing to do with him? " Ji Fei asked back, "Okay, then let me ask you. If a customer was eating at your restaurant, and they fought in the private room, and someone was killed, and you had no idea at all, but as the owner, you had to bear the main responsibility, would you be willing to do that?"
Li Rui secretly praised him. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had asked this old man to step in. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to deal with this old cripple.
Sometimes, there was no smoke in a war.
Seeing that Old Cripple Zheng was speechless, Ji Fei continued, "Look again. In the past few decades, how many murders have happened in high-end and mid-range hotels? Do you think that the families of the victims would hold those hotels responsible? In fact, not a single one of those cases has ever happened. As the saying goes, every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. 'You, Old Cripple Zheng, and Black Panther, if you're really capable, if you're really capable, find the culprit and settle the score with him. Why are you bullying a small owner of a mahjong parlor?' You even asked for a million yuan. You really don't see money as money. In this era, if you get into a car accident, the insurance company will only pay three to four hundred thousand yuan. "
Old Cripple Zheng frowned and asked, "Haven't you found any clues yet?" Ji Fei said, "This case is under the jurisdiction of the Northern District Public Security Bureau. You can't ask me." Old Cripple Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I didn't know that Black Panther asked for a million yuan. That guy is a bit ruthless." Ji Fei said, "He's not just a bit ruthless. He's extremely ruthless! Not only did he ask for money, but he also put my little brother in the hospital. "Old Cripple Zheng didn't say anything. Ji Fei said, "It's not that I want to criticize you, but you should teach your subordinates a lesson. Don't think that just because you're focused on making money, you can enjoy the rest of your life in peace. If something happens to your subordinates, you won't be able to escape. "
Old Cripple Zheng said, "Okay, Director Ji, I'll give you face today and talk to Black Panther about this."
Li Rui couldn't help but get angry when he heard him speak so confidently, as if he had really given Ji Fei a lot of face. He thought to himself, Old Brother Ji is an official, and you're a bandit. Being willing to sit with you is already giving you face, but you don't want it. You're even making it sound like you're the one who suffered a huge loss. If you piss me off, I'll have a good talk with my boss about your evil deeds. I'll definitely catch you all in one fell swoop.
Ji Fei said, "Don't go back. Black Panther is going to the hospital tomorrow to harass my little brother. Call him now and tell him not to go. If he really goes and the police come, he won't have a good time. "Old Cripple Zheng heard his soft threats and his face darkened. He said," I have my own plans for this. " Ji Fei sighed and said, "Anyway, I've already told you everything you need to know. You have to understand the situation. This isn't a few years ago, and it's definitely not the 1980s. " Old Cripple Zheng heard this and the scar on his face trembled. He glanced at Li Rui looking at him and asked, "The one who was chopped up by Black Panther was your classmate?"
Li Rui said, "What's your opinion, Director Zheng?" Old Cripple Zheng said, "What's your name?" Li Rui said, "Li Rui." Old Cripple Zheng asked again, "What do you do?" Li Rui said, "Civil servant." Old Cripple Zheng curled his lips and sneered disdainfully, saying, "You're not honest! You think I don't know you're a civil servant? " Li Rui sneered back, "Okay, since you want to know, I'm not afraid to tell you that I work in the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. I'm currently a cadre in the Secretariat." Old Cripple Zheng scolded, "Damn, so you're just a little secretary. Why are you pretending to be a big shot in front of me?"
Ji Fei said, "Brother Li isn't an ordinary secretary." Old Cripple Zheng laughed, "You think I'm ordinary?" Ji Fei's expression changed. "I'll tell you the truth. Brother Li is the secretary of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. You need to think about it carefully. " Old Cripple Zheng was stunned. After a while, he laughed and said, "Damn, I knew he wasn't a simple person. Sure enough, he's got a background." He added, "The highest official I've ever seen in my life was a district head. I didn't expect to know someone who works for the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Haha."
Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "The Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee doesn't have three heads and six arms. He's just an ordinary person. When his friend is in trouble, he'll come to you for help." Old Cripple Zheng slammed his big hand on the table and pointed at him. "You're funny, kid. You're flattering me like this. Haha, hahaha."
Ji Fei saw that Li Rui's words were so subtle that Old Cripple Zheng laughed heartily. He praised him in his heart. No wonder he served the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. His words were so nice.
Old Cripple Zheng said to Ji Fei, "This Brother Li of yours is very interesting. How about this? Let him have a few drinks with me tonight. I'll settle this matter for him."
Ji Fei didn't dare to make a decision for Li Rui, so he looked at him. Although Li Rui had already been invited by Li Ming, he was still worried about Yang Peng's matter. He said, "It would be my honor to drink with you, Mr. Zheng."
Seeing him agree, Cripple Zheng nodded and stood up with one hand on the table. When he stood up, his body leaned at an angle. His right leg was a little short, so his right shoulder sank.
He said, "Chief Ji, please stay. I'll tell the kitchen to prepare some dishes."
After he left, Ji Fei said in surprise, "Brother, you're the one with the most influence. I've known him for so many years, but he's never invited me to a meal. " Li Rui was amused. You're a police officer, and he's a gangster. You're born to be enemies. Even if he invited everyone in the world, why would he invite you? He smiled and said, "What do you mean by 'I'm the one with the most influence'? If you didn't bring me here, I wouldn't have been able to negotiate with him. " Ji Fei was very happy to hear this. He said, "Xiao Jia came home today and told me about the interview. She said that if you hadn't reminded her, she would have screwed up today. Brother, I won't say any more polite words. I'll give you a few drinks later. " Li Rui thought of Luo Nana waiting outside and frowned. "I have a friend waiting outside. I'll go out and greet her." Ji Fei said, "If she's not an outsider, let her in."
When Li Rui came out to talk to Luo Nana, it was just past five o 'clock. It was an awkward time. There was still an hour before the banquet. If they waited, they would have to wait for a while. If they didn't wait, they were already here. It wouldn't be appropriate to leave. However, Luo Nana was calm and didn't show any impatience.
