Chapter 477: Mika's Attack
Seeing this, Qin Ming said, "Xiao Wang happened to be free, so I brought him here."
Liu Meixiang smiled and said, "Welcome, I cooked a lot of dishes. Just in time to thank you and Officer Wang. Dad, I made some tea, come and talk to Officer Qin and Officer Wang."
Uncle Liu was a little nervous, but he couldn't let his daughter down at this time, so he smiled naively and said, "Drink tea, drink tea."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu." Qin Ming was very polite. He didn't wait for Uncle Liu to pour the tea before he started to serve it. "I heard that you opened a tobacco and liquor store near the pier. Is your business going well?"
Uncle Liu replied, "Business is pretty good. Meilan's idea is really good. I can't use my legs, so I don't have to run around running a tobacco shop. I can just sit most of the time."
"The income is not bad. Most of the laborers and boatmen on the dock do manual labor and love to smoke and drink. Although the prices of cigarettes and alcohol are not very high, they sell a lot every day, and the income is several times more than what I had before."
"The most important thing is that I can live in the city. Xiangdong lives on campus and can go home every weekend. Meixiang goes to college and also goes home most weekends. I am so happy that I can see my two children often."
Uncle Liu was telling the truth.
Qin Ming nodded, "If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me."
"Thank you very much." Uncle Liu smiled. "People know my family's situation near Meilan Company, so they won't cause trouble. I am very satisfied with my family life now. I don't ask for great wealth, but I just want peace and safety."
Officer Qin echoed, "In fact, this kind of life is interesting and has a sense of life."
Uncle Liu nodded. "When Meixiang graduates, she will go to work at Meilan's ornamental fish foreign trade company. In order to do a good job in the future, Meixiang is studying very hard now. She has passed the English level test and plans to take a certificate such as interpretation."
"I am a rough man and don't understand these things, but as long as my daughter wants to learn, I will support her. If she learns the skills, she will have food to eat for the rest of her life. As a father, I can't help much, but I will definitely not hold my daughter back."
Uncle Liu said this because he wanted Qin Ming to not think that his daughter Meixiang is not good enough just because he is disabled.
Although he is disabled, he can now support himself.
Liu Meixiang brought the food to the table one after another. "Dad, Officer Qin, Officer Wang, it's time to eat. Do you want to drink?"
Qin Ming shook his head. "Don't drink. If there is a mission at night, drinking will delay it."
"Okay, then we won't drink." Liu Meixiang said with a smile, "Work is more important. Officer Qin, Officer Xiao Wang, you guys eat first. There's still some soup in the kitchen."
Qin Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll wait for you."
"No need to wait for me. Seafood doesn't taste good when it's cold." Liu Meixiang said politely, "Officer Qin, Officer Wang, you guys eat first. I'll be ready in a few minutes."
But Qin Ming and Officer Wang didn't eat after all. They waited for Liu Meixiang to come and eat with them.
Liu Meixiang had a better impression of Qin Ming. How could there be such a thoughtful person?
Qin Ming praised: "Mei Xiang, your cooking skills are really good, not worse than those made in other hotels."
Officer Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Yes, it's also a home-cooked meal. My mother sometimes buys seafood, but I don't think it's as delicious as Liu Meixiang's."
Liu Meixiang was very happy to be praised by Qin Ming and Officer Wang. "My family lives on an island, and I learned to cook from my mother since I was a child. I get tired of eating too much seafood, so I find ways to make it more delicious."
Qin Ming nodded. "The seafood in the restaurant is very delicately cooked and has a lot of seasoning, but I always feel thirsty after eating it. It's not like the seafood cooked at home, which can better bring out the original taste of the seafood."
Uncle Liu smiled and said, "We usually eat at home. If you have time, go to the island and you can eat fresher seafood."
"Okay, I'll definitely go if I have the chance." Qin Ming responded politely.
While Liu Meixiang was using serving chopsticks to pick up food for everyone, she asked, "Officer Qin, what have you been busy with recently? If it's inconvenient to talk about it, please don't say it."
Qin Ming smiled, "There's nothing to hide. The cases that come into our hands are either serious injuries or deaths, and they are of a serious nature. We are currently investigating a murder case, and the key is that it also involves drug trafficking. We checked very strictly on the road, but found nothing."
"Drugs?" Liu Meixiang was shocked. "Is it so rampant? Drug dealers are sentenced to death, but there are still people who dare to do it. Are they risking their lives?"
Officer Xiao Wang said solemnly: "Because of the huge profits, some people dare to do anything for money. But we don't know how they get the drugs in now."
At this time, Uncle Liu thought of an old incident. "I remember a few years ago, someone stuffed drugs into the stomachs of fish and transported them in through seafood. There were so many fishing boats, dozens of tons of seafood, and some of the fish were very big. Who could know which fish had drugs in its stomach?"
Qin Ming was stunned. "This is indeed a direction."
Liu Meixiang thought about it, and then said: "In fact, since there are too many fish, it is difficult to check if they are hidden in the fish's stomach, so we can check people! For ordinary people, if they suddenly have money at home, most of them can't help but spend it."
"If there is no increase in income, but life suddenly gets better and they become more generous, then there is a high possibility that there is an improper source of money. Perhaps investigating these people will yield some results."
Qin Ming and Officer Xiao Wang looked at each other and said, "This is indeed a very good direction."
Uncle Liu frowned, "There are a lot of fish, and there are a lot of fishermen! It's actually hard to check."
Liu Meixiang scratched her head. "That's true. My method is not very thorough. But I can use the name of investigating animal protection to spot check fishing boats. Although it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is also a solution."
Qin Ming smiled, "It's a solution after all. We can study it later. We can't just do nothing."
"Hey, I have another idea." Liu Meixiang blinked.
Qin Ming smiled and said, "Tell me about it."
Liu Meixiang was a little shy. "Actually, when I watched Hong Kong movies, didn't they have informants? If there are enough informants, we can get more information. These informants don't have to be those gray area people in nightclubs, they can also be fishermen with trustworthy family backgrounds."
"Things like drug trafficking are usually not known to everyone on the ship. There may be only one or two people who know about it. Even if others don't know, it doesn't mean that they can't find something unusual. Maybe this is a good clue."
Uncle Liu nodded. "Yes, the drug dealer was arrested because he owed the boatmen wages and commissions. The boatmen didn't say anything at first, but they noticed the boat boss's actions and reported it after they got ashore. The boat boss was arrested before all the fish in the fishing boat were unloaded."
Qin Ming's eyes lit up, "This is indeed a very good idea."
The seafood meal was a pleasant one. Liu Meixiang spoke actively and provided some ideas to Qin Ming and Officer Xiao Wang.
In short, Liu Meixiang became a little more familiar with Qin Ming through this exchange. She has further plans.
