Chapter 135: He's Back (2)

Organizing the video, Li Fa said to Su Qiuzi, “Right, today Lao Meng is on his way back from Wen City, in the afternoon, let’s go to a barbecue restaurant for a gathering. One to give Lao Meng a catch, and the other to welcome Su to our program.”

Being that He Yu was abroad, Su Qiuzi had nothing to do when she went back at night, it just happened that the dinner and the people in the program team had more in-depth exchanges to get to know each other, so she smiled and agreed to go.

Lao Meng was the journalist of “legal case tracking”. After the topic of the program was selected by the producer and editor-in-chief, Xu Siru in the search for cases, Lao Meng was running all over the country, looking for information on the criminal police station. For the final recording of the show, Li Fa would compile the information and Su Qiuzi was responsible for recording and broadcasting the content, which was the entire production process of the early morning program “Legal Case Tracking “.

When Su Qiuzi came to report last week, Lao Meng was off on a work trip to Wen City and the two of them hadn’t seen each other. Before the evening gathering, Su Qiuzi, Li Fa and the others came down from the elevator, just in time to meet Lao Meng, who was returning with a bag on his back.

Lao Meng looked like he was thirty-five or thirty-six this year and had a beard, but he didn’t look sloppy. He had started out as an armed police officer, worked as a detective for a few years, and later switched to photography for family reasons. After the TV station launched the “Legal Case Tracking ” program, it just so happened that he had acquaintances in all the criminal police teams around the country, so he immediately contacted the TV station and finally worked as a reporter.

In the lobby of the TV station, some people could be seen waiting for a person, when Old Meng saw them, he firstly walked into Li Fa and the others together with Su Qiuzi, then he found out that she was the new host. After he greeted Su Qiuzi with a smile, he didn’t put anything away, so they just directly decided to go to a barbecue restaurant altogether.

Summer was the most explosive time for barbecue restaurants, fortunately Lao Meng and the others were regulars and came early, so they made their way to the air-conditioned booths soon after.

After sitting down, Lao Meng and Su Qiuzi shook hands and introduced themselves, with Su Qiuzi also smiling and introducing herself. There were only four people around the table and everyone was on equal standing, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

While waiting for the barbecue to be served, Xu Siru asked Lao Meng about the case he went to investigate this time. This case was in fact very simple, but the story behind it was quite sad, the old Meng simply told it on the table like a story.

A certain high-ranking officer of a company’s mistress was concealed in the luxury villa by the sea. On weekdays, the mistress was generally not allowed to leave the luxury villa at her own will and show her face outside. So she could only wait for the top brass to come and spend the spring night together every time he visited. But the mistress couldn’t stand the loneliness any longer and fell in love with the courier who came to deliver the goods to the house. Later on, she took away his money and eloped with the courier.

The mistress was raised by the high-ranking officer of a company, yet in the end taken advantage of by a lowly courier. How could he swallow this grievance? When he found out that the courier was also married with a wife and son at home, he made the courier’s wife unemployed, so that his son had no insurance to receive. Finally, the courier wife couldn’t stand it, one night while hugging her son, she fired the gas at home and committed suicide. The wife died, but the son survived, who was adopted by relatives soon after. When he grew up, he found his father and the mistress and killed them. After the killing, the son turned himself in.

The case was somewhat serious and after Lao Meng finished speaking, the table was silent for a long while. Then Li Fa first opened his mouth and said, “The son is inevitably a bit too miserable.”
