Chapter 668: Case expires, old team leader is helpless
"Do you guys want to come play together?"
The woman turned to face Kanie and the others and shouted, "It's alright now anyway."
As he spoke, Officer Jiaoqi walked quickly in Class A above.
When he met Mao Li again, he asked with a serious expression, "Did you find it?"
"No...none were found."
"Damn it!" Jiao Qi roared, after a brief complaint.
He rested his arm on the fence, looking at the endless sea, and pondered quietly: "Where could he have disappeared to?"
Maori rolled down his sleeves and glanced at the time. Unfortunately, they didn't have much time left, less than an hour.
Jiao Qi took a deep breath, put one hand on his waist, straightened his body, and then said meaningfully: "Maori, I will not give up."
He clenched his fists and said forcefully, "I will work on this case until the very last minute! I will never give up! I will never give up!"
Maori didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
He replied with the same firm expression: "Team Leader Jiao Qi! Then let's look for it again!"
"That's fine! Let's search thoroughly again!"
On the other hand, the style of liquor is completely different.
"Sorry, everyone! I win again this time." Vermouth said with a smile.
"Wow! That's great!" Baijiu clapped his hands.
Vermouth glared at him and mouthed: Don't be so disgusting.
Baijiu sighed silently and made an OK gesture helplessly.
"Come on, what's going on..." Hattori sighed, holding his head with his hands: "Why did I let you win again..."
"Okay, okay, let's do it again," said the woman.
"Whoever loses again will swap places with Mr. Kujirai."
Ebina cleared his throat and turned to look at Kanie: "I say, do you know what time it is now?"
Kanie looked down at the time: "Five minutes to twelve."
Hattori heard this and became alert: "I noticed that you seem to be very concerned about time. Is there something wrong?"
Ebina chuckled, nodded and said, "Because tomorrow is a very important day."
Vermouth wasn't interested in this, she just wanted to have a good vacation.
She said happily, "Look! I have two pairs, A and 9!"
"Ah!" Hattori's face was in a mask of pain, and he started to make a scene: "Oh my! How did I let you win again!"
"It looks like I lose again." Ebina shook his head.
"Okay, okay." The woman took a sip of her Hawaiian cocktail and looked at Ebina seductively: "Now it's Mr. Kujirai's turn to play."
"Ah!" Mr. Kujirai was a little flustered. He picked up his glass and stood up: "Okay, okay! I'm coming!"
He walked slowly to the chess and card table with his big belly: "Please go easy on me, pretty lady!"
Ebina took Mr. Kujirai's seat with a glass of wine in hand.
He looked sad, as if he was trapped in memories that he couldn't bear to recall.
The woman lowered her voice and asked, "You mean the important day? Could it be the anniversary of your girlfriend's death?"
Ebina was a little shocked when he heard this.
The woman held her face in her hands and continued, "Isn't that cocktail of yours a Bloody Mary?"
Her voice became delicate and gentle, her eyes slightly half-closed: "You won't say that tomorrow is the woman you love most."
"Is it the day when the beautiful lady dies?"
"Ah..." Ebina Tactics was silent for a moment, then stammered, "No."
"Thum, thump, thump."
Maori put his hands in his pockets and walked down the stairs heavily.
Hattori noticed it with his peripheral vision and immediately asked, "Uncle! Did you find it?"
Mao Li slumped in his seat and took a deep breath: "I can't find it anywhere..."
Hattori asked, "What about the uncle who used to be a detective? Where is he now?"
Mao Li closed his eyes: "He said he would hold on until the last minute."
The bartender wiped his hands with a handkerchief, looked at the tired Mao Li, and took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Mao Li, do you need anything to drink?"
"Just give me a glass of water."
"Ok."
Suddenly, an intriguing smile appeared on Kanie's lips.
He stood up from his seat: "I'm sorry, I think it's about time for me to leave."
Seeing this, the woman also showed a playful smile: "I have to go first too."
"Me too!" Ebina echoed, holding the frame of his glasses.
Mr. Kujirai turned around and said, "Then we'll put this deck of cards in a box and send it directly to your room."
"Okay." The woman smiled flatteringly and waved her hand: "Then I'll trouble you."
After that, she turned to the waiter, pointed at the wine glass in front of her and asked, "Excuse me, how much is this drink for me?"
Ebina fumbled with his wallet. "Please help me calculate it too."
"Eh?" His expression gradually froze: "That's weird, where is my wallet?!"
Kanie happened to pass by him, took out a long brown wallet from his pocket, and said in a contemptuous tone: "This can't be yours."
Ebina turned around, eyes wide, "Yes, yes, yes! It's mine!"
Kanie handed the wallet to him: "I saw it dropped in the hallway, so I picked it up."
Ebina took it and immediately opened the wallet to check if there was any cash missing, which made the kind-hearted Kanie very unhappy.
He said gloomily, "Please, I'm too lazy to steal the little money in there. It's not even enough for my living expenses for the morning."
"I'm sorry, I'm just being cautious."
Ebina counted the cash one by one.
Baijiu was scrolling through Tik Tok while staring at them out of the corner of his eye.
"Hey! Mr. Kujirai! Are you leaving too?!"
Vermouth showed a disappointed expression, as if she hadn't had enough fun.
"Okay, I'll fight you." Baijiu raised his hand.
"No!" Vermouth refused resolutely.
After all, she couldn't beat Xu Li at all, and she didn't like the feeling of letting him win. In comparison, Kujirai and Hattori were inexperienced guys.
More to her taste!
"No! No!" Kujirai waved his hands and looked towards Kanie: "I'm just going to the bathroom!"
"You guys take a break first! I'll be back soon!"
Time passed by minute by minute, and Officer Jiaoqi felt the sea breeze and looked helplessly at his watch which was about to reach twelve o'clock.
"Ding ding! Ding ding!"
As the hour of twelve arrived, Maori sighed helplessly.
Jiao Qi also came down from upstairs. Contrary to her usual practice, she smiled and patted Mao Li: "The time has come."
"We can't touch this case anymore."
Beneath the smile, there is more reluctance.
He clenched his fists. “To be honest, I quit my job as a criminal police officer two years ago, so I no longer have the qualifications.”
"Team leader..." Mao Li looked at his back, feeling distressed.
