Chapter 138
This book is a hit.
Li Zhuiyuan did not put out the fire. His first reaction was to think: Is the evil book lying to him?
Then, the boy immediately thought of the answer: No, it didn't.
Because I only use it as a test, more vividly speaking, it is a kind of divination, but when the arrow is on the string, no matter what the result is, I will continue to walk on this path according to my heart.
Therefore, it burned, proving that the secret is mine;
If it doesn't burn and has no reaction, then it's feudal superstition, so I'll just shout "Man can conquer nature" and continue to do it.
Anyway, it has no influence on its own choice, so its current reaction is more inclined to be true.
That means Tianji is really involved.
The fire continued to burn. Li Zhuiyuan picked up the cup on the desk and took a sip himself without pouring it on it.
He knew the value of this evil book, but he had nothing to feel bad about. If it really had to be burned, then it would be gone.
Burning and burning, the fire finally began to die out.
Half of the pages were burnt black, and the cover and back were very wrinkled, but overall, they were preserved.
It is indeed something filled with evil nature. This life is really hard.
The boy thought of a new way to open the book.
You can use it to test the secrets of heaven in reverse.
The game between myself and the person who asked the question will not be limited to the fourth wave. It will probably continue forever. Then when you have any ideas in the future, you can use this book to continue divination to see if it burns.
He reached out and flipped through the pages of the book. Half of them were burned black, but many of the remaining pages were just smoked yellow.
Well, even if it never recovers, at least it can burn again.
As for helping it recover?
This is impossible, never possible.
For this kind of evil thing, just squeeze out its value, but never make a deal with it, because every time you become complacent, you may fall into the plot of this book.
When talking to the devil, you cannot hold the balance instrument, only the whip.
Wrapping it in a seal again, he stuffed it under the bed.
Li Zhuiyuan picked up the rag, wiped the desk, and refilled himself a cup of hot water.
After thinking about it, he opened the drawer again, took out the empty can, and placed it on the desk.
I hesitated whether to put a piece of paper on the can and write a label on it, but after thinking about it, it was not appropriate, so I simply tore off two pieces of paper, folded a square grooved paper box, put it in the corner of the desk, and then put the can Go inside, then take a pen from the pen holder and place it inside.
In this case, there is no need to explain it specifically, and Tan Wenbin and Shuyou Lin will not take it away and throw it away as garbage.
He reached out and touched his face.
The reason he didn't want to explain was that he felt a little embarrassed to explain it.
Do you already feel this way now?
If it were my old self, I would probably think that this idea... no, this behavior of collecting cans is really childish and stupid.
It's a pity that this matter is still involved with Ali. He has long known that when he is with Ali, his condition will get better and his skin will grow.
I just don’t know when this emotion will break away from Ali’s scope and spread to other people, or with myself as the center.
This does not mean that the boy wants to separate from Ali, but that only by walking more and more boldly can he hold the girl's hand and lead her forward better.
Putting aside his thoughts, Li Zhuiyuan began to make more detailed plans based on the implementation suggestions previously given by Tan Wenbin.
It is true that plans cannot keep up with changes, but this does not mean that plans are useless. At least through it, one's companions can clearly know what the purpose is, and by the way, the plan can tell them the direction of thinking, so that even if changes come, the plan will be When the book is scrapped, the companions also know where to exert their subjective initiative, so as not to become headless flies.
Li Zhuiyuan kept writing like this until dusk. He presupposed many possible accidents and also added a lot of his own thinking.
Shuyou Lin came back from get out of class, opened the door to his dormitory, and saw Brother Xiao Yuan writing. He did not dare to disturb him. He sat silently at Tan Wenbin's desk and began to recite and study his own things.
However, having Brother Xiao Yuan sitting next to you is equivalent to the invigilator standing next to you and watching you take the exam.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shuyou Lin simply picked up his things and went to study in the evening self-study classroom as if running away.
In the evening, Tan Wenbin came back, and Li Zhuiyuan was still writing. After Tan Wenbin stood watching for a while, he sat on his bed.
He was holding a large document bag with three wanted warrants in it.
In addition, there are three investigative documents.
The former was taken from his father's bureau, and the latter was made by himself. It was a bit sloppy and only provided a general idea.
When it was almost late at night, Li Zhuiyuan finally finished writing. He put down the pen and wrote a thick stack.
For him, writing speed seriously limits his brain speed.
Handing these things to Tan Wenbin, Tan Wenbin began to look through them.
Li Zhuiyuan picked up the document bag brought back by Tan Wenbin. There were three wanted warrants, and the suspects were two men and one woman.
The most recent one was posted half a year ago. It was about a man who violently insulted a shop owner and his daughter while working abroad, and then absconded.
The furthest thing was four years ago, when a robbery gang specifically targeted taxi drivers. The leader of the gang was also a bait. She was a woman. Not only did they rob and injure several taxi drivers, they also left a master driver seriously injured and died.
This is why taxis nowadays generally install transparent partitions between the driver's seat and the back row to separate the driver and passengers.
In fact, the current social security is not very good, and taxi drivers are definitely a high-income industry at the moment, and their working status is still single, making it easy to be targeted.
Two men from the gang were arrested and the woman absconded. The gang revealed her place of origin.
The middle one happened two years ago. He was a fraudster who defrauded many elderly people of their coffin books and pension funds.
In these three cases, the suspects’ native place is in Zhangjiajie, and the police suspect that the suspects may have fled back to their hometown.
Zhangjiajie is now a well-known tourist destination in China. It has beautiful scenery, pleasant scenery, simple folk customs, and hospitable people. It is an excellent place for vacation and sightseeing.
However, in any place where there are enough people, it is normal for some bad birds to appear regularly.
I went here specifically to look for them. Even if I moved to other areas, I could still find a lot of them.
But this also reminded Li Zhuiyuan that this method is good. After all, the destination is a city, but next time he will have to go to a sparsely populated area or simply an uninhabited area, such as a place like a glacial desert... Where do you find wanted criminals?
Moreover, in the second line of "fishing law enforcement", it is difficult to find criminal gangs who dare to dig for gold in no-man's land.
Therefore, I will use it this time. If it is successful, I will have to upgrade the method next time.
For example, if you are going to no man's land, you have to find the criminal in advance and use magic tricks or indirect attacks, similar to driving cattle and sheep, to guide him to the destination in no man's land.
As for ordinary criminal gangs digging for gold, they have to upgrade to tomb robbers, tell them clues, and let them go to the destination they have set to dig ancient tombs and dig mummies.
"Choose this one." Li Zhuiyuan pulled out the wanted order for the female suspect, "She is old and she is still carrying a human life."
"Okay, okay." Tan Wenbin nodded and separated this wanted order.
Li Zhuiyuan looked at the three investigation reports that Tan Wenbin made himself. They were actually gangsters in three areas, which were most suitable for fishing.
One is a gang of thugs who watch the show in underground casinos, one is a gang involved in lending money and gangs, and the other is a gang of gangsters who bully students near the school.
They are all regulars who often get into trouble. They are social cancers. They disperse after every police crackdown, but they quickly reappear.
"Choose this." Li Zhuiyuan chose the third one. "The gangsters who bully students are generally younger, have worse financial conditions, and are more likely to daydream."
"Hey, Brother Xiaoyuan, I think so too."
"Then why don't you just take this back?"
Tan Wenbin: “Make three, it’s more auspicious.”
Immediately afterwards, Tan Wenbin stood up and said: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I will take these to the photo studio and ask Deng Chen to print them."
“Can’t I make copies in the store?”
“How can the quality of photocopying in the store be as good as that of Dengchen Rolling Eyeballs?
Besides, giving him something to do will make him feel more at ease. ”
"It's up to you."
"Oh, by the way, Runsheng will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow afternoon."
"So fast?"
"His skin burns are mainly serious. Unlike ordinary people, he doesn't have to worry about the risk of infection and can be discharged from the hospital early. After all, he usually eats a lot. Bless him."
"That's good, let's have dinner tomorrow night."
When Runsheng didn't return to the team, it was hard for the team to really take action.
From the summary of what happened to the pig head last time, although Runsheng was the most seriously injured, the strength he showed actually made the pig the most fearful.
Including Runsheng's final plan to fully open the valve and try his best to make the pig feel the real crisis.
The pig had not thought of cutting off the Dragon King's wings first, but Runsheng was the first to challenge him, and he did not dare to go up and collect his head.
When the pig on Yinmeng's side wanted to get in, the fourth uncle on Tan Wenbin's side was committing suicide, forcing the pig to quickly move to get the spirit of the white centipede.
When the pig was about to attack Tan Wenbin, Tan Wenbin was not yet proficient in using the ghost control technique for the first time, so his body seemed to be inflated, which looked very similar to Runsheng's state when he was about to fight.
Finally, Tan Wenbin reported the address of the black python, giving the pig the option of ignoring him and going straight to the photo studio.
However, he failed to completely eliminate his three companions, so that he had "reinforcements". This factor also forced the pig to choose the smartest way to obtain the "black python".
In short, the role of the team cannot be ignored. There should be many Dragon Kings who walked the river alone in history, but it is not suitable for Li Zhuiyuan now because the river did not give him a chance to grow up.
Tan Wenbin drove to Pingju Photo Studio and asked Deng Chen to make copies of a bunch of text.
Don't mention it, it's human flesh... no, it's snake flesh. The printer is also very easy to use. Deng Chen can even help you fine-tune the typesetting and enlarge the fonts.
Tan Wenbin took the things and left with satisfaction. After Deng Chen "read" the text, he felt his back was wet.
If possible, he really wanted to forget the content of those words, because he could see that the true ambition of the future Dragon Prince was not just content with simply walking around passively.
After Tan Wenbin returned to the dormitory, he passed by the window of the dormitory aunt's office and stopped by for a late-night snack.
After returning to his dormitory, he continued to read and study. He has now developed a good study habit of studying at night and going to the classroom to sleep in the morning.
The next morning, after Li Zhuiyuan got up, he went to find Ali as usual and walked with her on the playground. Then he had breakfast at Aunt Liu's place and went to take "elective courses" with his schoolbag on his back.
What’s great is that Professor Zhu’s class is available at eight in the morning.
The sunny morning is indeed a perfect match with Professor Zhu's warm and steady voice.
However, some things always happen so unexpectedly.
When the bell rang, none of the students in the classroom could wait for Professor Zhu. In the past, he always arrived early and watched the students enter the classroom with a smile.
A new-faced teacher came in, called over the monitors who were taking the big class, and spoke to them briefly.
Later, the monitors announced to their classmates that today's ideological and political classes were cancelled. Everyone could go back to their dormitories or find other empty classrooms to sit and wait for the third or fourth class.
Although Li Zhuiyuan was sitting in the corner of the last row, he had good hearing. He heard what the teacher said to the monitors: Someone in Professor Zhu's family passed away.
Even though he had only met once and was mentally prepared for it, his sudden departure made Li Zhuiyuan lower his eyes slightly. He still had the set of hardcover books given to him by Grandma Zhu in his dormitory.
Li Zhuiyuan picked up his schoolbag, went to the teaching building opposite, and came to a classroom.
The teacher who was in class looked at the boy and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
In fact, the boy should also be attending class in this classroom now.
Tan Wenbin was sleeping soundly. Fortunately, Shuyou Lin was studying seriously. When he saw Brother Xiaoyuan coming, he immediately pushed Brother Bin to wake up.
"Huh?"
Tan Wenbin raised his head sleepily. When he saw Li Zhuiyuan, he immediately stood up and asked for leave from the teacher: "Teacher, I will go to the rehearsal of the student union activities first."
The teacher frowned but didn't say anything.
Shuyou Lin shrank his head and quickly followed Brother Bin.
Li Zhuiyuan led Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou to the family building outside the school. Professor Zhu was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, his head lowered.
"Professor Zhu, my condolences."
Professor Zhu raised his head, looked at Li Zhuiyuan, smiled at him, and then looked at the closed bedroom door: "She has been talking about you the past few days, and she has repeatedly looked at the painting you drew."
Grandma Zhu is a woman with a rich artistic flair. She has been with Professor Zhu for most of her life, which has allowed her to be immersed in it for most of her life. Therefore, she really loves Li Zhuiyuan, a young prodigy with both talent and talent.
When Professor Zhu invited Li Zhuiyuan to his home before, he said that his wife had a strange disease, and it was indeed a strange disease, because the end of life was approaching, and no specific disease could be found and there was no way to treat it. He could only watch her day by day. My wife's condition is getting worse and worse.
"Professor Zhu, what about the funeral?"
"I have notified the school, and the school will send someone to help me."
Tan Wenbin understood Brother Xiaoyuan's intention of bringing him here, and took the initiative to say: "Professor Zhu, let's help you manage it. Three generations of my family have been doing this."
"Don't worry, the school will..."
Tan Wenbin: "We are also from school."
Professor Zhu was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Well, thank you for your hard work."
With that said, Professor Zhu stood up and bowed to Tan Wenbin.
Tan Wenbin accepted this gift. He had previously said that it was nonsense for three generations of his family to do this, but he followed Li Sanjiang on a lot of errands, and he knew the process well.
"Professor Zhu, do you plan to rent a condolence hall at a funeral home or do it in the community?"
"Let's do it in the community. She planted all the flowers outside. She probably wants to say goodbye to everyone here, but...it's best to be quiet and not disturb the neighbors."
"Don't worry, I understand."
Tan Wenbin started to take care of things one by one. Later, the people sent by the school to help arrived and became Tan Wenbin's subordinates.
Under his operation and management, the entire funeral was in order. Professor Zhu, who had lost his beloved, was able to sit next to the rented crystal coffin and quietly accompany his wife on her last journey.
For the relatives of the deceased, this is a great blessing.
Colleagues and students of the two old men came to express their condolences.
Shuyou Lin was arranged by Tan Wenbin to write a gift note. According to Professor Zhu's wishes, whether it was a gift note from a colleague or a student, it would be returned after the funeral.
It was impossible to accept the tribute money from the students. Even if his colleagues had favors in the past, at his age, he might not have the chance to pay them back in the future, so he simply refused to accept them.
Originally, Li Zhuiyuan was the most suitable person for this job, but Li Zhuiyuan had the experience of writing a seal couplet to Liu Jinxia before, so he was really not suitable to handle this specifically, for fear that it would add variables to the funeral.
Therefore, Li Zhuiyuan was responsible for sitting next to Professor Zhu and listening to him telling stories about the couple's past.
During this period, Li Zhuiyuan heard that Grandma Zhu’s hometown was in Zhangjiajie, but she had no relatives in her hometown.
This seems to be a coincidence, but it is also intentional.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't answer and continued to listen quietly.
When night fell, Runsheng and Yinmeng, who had just been discharged from the hospital, also came. Runsheng was still wearing a lot of bandages, but it didn't stop him from helping.
Since there was no banquet, everyone just ate some casually in the evening. Professor Zhu was still in a calm mood and ate some with everyone.
In the evening, everyone stayed with Professor Zhu for a night vigil.
Originally, Tan Wenbin said that he and Ayou could just stay, but Li Zhuiyuan did not go back to the dormitory and chose to stay here.
The next morning, Grandma Zhu was picked up by a car from the crematorium, sent for cremation, and then buried in a nearby cemetery.
In the afternoon, Professor Zhu came back with his wife’s black and white portrait in his arms and placed the frame on the altar table that had been arranged in advance.
Tan Wenbin helped light the incense and burn the wax. After the last step of the ritual process was completed, the funeral process was over.
Overall, the funeral was relatively simple, and many places did not comply with the rules. However, Li Sanjiang once told Zhuang Zhuang that the work of the dead must be done based on the needs of the living.
For Professor Zhu, what he wants is to go through a process as simple as a breeze, without any fuss or fuss, so that he can keep his wife's feelings at home and continue to be with "her" Just get on with the day.
Finally, Professor Zhu grabbed the arms of everyone who was helping and knelt down to them.
It was just a thought. As soon as the old professor bent his knees, he was lifted up by everyone, but he was not actually asked to kneel down.
Each person had a red envelope, and the old professor had to let them take it, so everyone took it.
After it was over, Li Zhuiyuan and others returned to school.
At this time in the past, everyone should have gone to Old Sichuan for a dinner, but we had just experienced a peaceful funeral and had no appetite for these spicy and greasy dishes.
The five of them boiled several pots of water in the store, paired with some sausages and pickles brought from home, and had a simple meal.
After everyone finished eating, Li Zhuiyuan said:
"The action can begin."
Tan Wenbin is responsible for the wanted order line, and he can freely use it to find out the degree of involvement and make the cause and effect of this line richer.
Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng are responsible for the gangster line in school. They have to put more money in their pockets or bags to expose their wealth to the gangsters, and then deliberately go to the alleys to give the gangsters a chance to rob them, and at the same time, they have to get the gold bars clues. to them.
Yin Meng is the only girl in the team, and Shuyou Lin always gives off a submissive and bullying look when he doesn't show his face.
The two of them are most suitable for making fishing bait.
Runsheng is not suitable to appear in such a scene, especially since he is still wearing bandages. He is a big man with bandages, and he is not easy to mess with at first sight. Even if he hangs a big gold chain around his neck and swings it around, those low-level people will The gangsters who bullied students didn't dare to provoke him.
Li Zhuiyuan asked everyone to write the script today. After the script is written, it will be handed over to him for review.
The purpose of this is also to decentralize thinking training.
In the evening, Tan Wenbin first showed his script to Li Zhuiyuan. He must have been thinking about it for a long time and wrote it in one go.
"Okay, very good, let's go."
In the evening, Yin Meng and Lin Shuyou also handed over their scripts. After reading them, Li Zhuiyuan said:
"There's no need to play the role of a 'couple', it's too much." Li Zhuiyuan shook his head, "You guys can make some cuts. You can amplify the contradictory features of your daily relationship, and don't leave too much in the plot. ”
Yin Meng and Lin Shuyou looked at each other, obviously not understanding it deeply.
"Come on, come on, let me help you change it together." Tan Wenbin put his arms around the two of them and began to help them make suggestions.
By late at night, the second version of the script was revised.
Li Zhuiyuan took it and looked at it, and said with some worry:
"No problem, but I hope that after you finish the performance, it will not affect our unity in the future."
……
In the third and fourth classes of the next day, Li Zhuiyuan went to Professor Zhu's class to wait as usual.
He originally thought that Professor Zhu would not come to class, but he came.
For him, maintaining the original rhythm of life helps to create a feeling that the pattern of life remains the same.
Professor Zhu first smiled at Li Zhuiyuan, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, and then began to lecture.
His voice was hoarse and tired, but the content of his lectures was still full of logic and rationality.
After class, Professor Zhu walked to Li Zhuiyuan and chatted with the boy for a while.
After chatting, he left.
Li Zhuiyuan sat there, watching his back disappear outside the classroom door.
After a while, Runsheng came in, holding a lunch box in his hand.
Li Zhuiyuan opened the lunch box. Inside were two dishes cooked by Runsheng himself, covered with rice.
"Brother Runsheng, have you eaten?"
"You must eat first, otherwise I would have to carry a bucket over here, which would not look good."
"Are they all gone?"
"Well, Binbin went out, and Mengmeng and Ayou went out too."
"Then when I finish eating, it's time for me to find my third line."
"The third line, where are you going?" Although Runsheng didn't have a role this time, he also read both the plan and the script.
"Go to Professor Zhu."
"Wasn't this Professor Zhu's class just now?"
"It's his class. I waited until now on purpose. He came to me to talk and I took the initiative to talk to him. The nature is different."
On the first day of the funeral, sitting next to the crystal coffin, when Professor Zhu told Grandma Zhu’s hometown, Li Zhuiyuan felt a little nervous. He didn’t want Professor Zhu to tell what Grandma Zhu’s last wishes were in her hometown.
Because what he wants is not the push from the river, but his own initiative.
On the second day of the funeral, Li Zhuiyuan didn't mention Grandma Zhu's hometown to Professor Zhu. Li Zhuiyuan didn't mention it in this morning's class, including the chat between the two after class, and of course, Professor Zhu didn't mention it either.
This is to confirm that there is no river water inside this time.
Now that the confirmation is complete, it's time to take the initiative to dig out.
After Li Zhuiyuan finished eating, he covered his lunch box and said, "Brother Runsheng, let's go."
Runsheng smiled. He knew that Xiaoyuan had called him here on purpose. He was afraid that he would be depressed because he had just returned from injury and had nothing to do this time, so he specially called him to bring food in the morning and said that he wanted to act together.
But if you just go to Professor Zhu’s house, where do you need to follow him?
Xiaoyuan is indeed different from before.
In the past, when Xiaoyuan was in front of you, he would be enthusiastic, considerate, and pay attention to all the details. But if you were not by his side, it would be as if you were completely missing from his world.
Runsheng had seen the scene of the boy squatting by the stream and burning incense in his hands after answering his mother's call that night.
He seemed to be climbing up bit by bit from the mire, and I had become accustomed to standing in front of him.
When Li Zhuiyuan came to Professor Zhu's house, Professor Zhu was eating.
He cooked a dish, held the rice bowl, and sat in front of his wife's portrait, chatting while eating.
Professor Zhu was a little surprised by Li Zhuiyuan's arrival, because if something happened, why didn't he say it in the classroom?
"Xiaoyuan, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten Professor Zhu."
Li Zhuiyuan sat down on the chair next to him and began to chat slowly with Professor Zhu.
While chatting, the young man took the initiative to change the topic: "Zhangjiajie is such a beautiful place. Grandma Zhu has never thought of returning to her hometown to visit?"
"I have thought about it, but first of all, there is no one in her hometown, and secondly, we were busy with work before, and after retirement, her health gradually became worse."
"Then Grandma Zhu must have regrets in her heart. I heard that after a person leaves, his soul will float back to his hometown."
Professor Zhu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded vigorously.
Afraid that Professor Zhu would decide to go alone, Li Zhuiyuan hurriedly spoke again:
"Professor Zhu, I have a relative who is working in Grandma Zhu's hometown recently. He just called me and asked me to go see him. I am ready to ask for leave from the school to go there.
I plan to take a picture of the village life in my hometown painted in Grandma Zhu’s study, and a photo of Grandma Zhu, to her hometown to help her fulfill her wish. ”
"Your relatives?" Professor Zhu asked with a worried look, "What kind of relatives are they? Xiaoyuan, you are still young. In addition to immediate family members, some relatives also have to..."
Li Zhuiyuan struggled to say two words: "My mother."
"Oh, that's good, that's good." Professor Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the teenager was deceived. If such a child was abducted, the loss to society would be great.
"Professor Zhu, did I go to the study to get some paintings?"
"Then, thank you, Xiaoyuan. Actually, I just listened to your words and planned to go there myself."
"You are older, and so many students are looking forward to taking your class."
"Indeed, I can only trouble you."
"This is what I should do, you're welcome."
Li Zhuiyuan also helped clean up Grandma Zhu's belongings. He knew where the painting was. Professor Zhu brought Li Zhuiyuan a photo of Grandma Zhu. The photo was also black and white, but the Grandma Zhu in it was younger. .
"She should like to be younger when she returns to her hometown, right?" Professor Zhu said the last question to the portrait.
Li Zhuiyuan tidied things up first, and then offered three more sticks of incense to Grandma Zhu.
The old man may not have such a big obsession with his hometown, but he added this wish to her.
She was gone, and she was not involved in the cause and effect, but to a certain extent, he had used her.
Li Zhuiyuan handed Professor Zhu a piece of paper with Tan Wenbin's pager number and store phone number written on it.
The person in the team who is most sensitive to pager sounds is Tan Wenbin. Someone can answer the phone in the store 24 hours a day.
"This is?"
"Professor, if you have any problems or need to go to the hospital if you have a headache or fever, please call this number and we will be there right away."
"There's no need for this. I'm in good health. Besides, I can't trouble you all the time."
"This is our sincerity as students, please accept it."
"Okay, okay, I'll take it. Thank you, kid. I'll press it under the glass of my desk."
Professor Zhu entered the back room with the note.
Li Zhuiyuan turned to look at Grandma Zhu's portrait. Green smoke curled up from three burning incense sticks. Deng Chen's photography skills were too delicate.
In the portrait, Grandma Zhu looks at the young man in the white smoke and smiles.
……
Tan Wenbin walked out of the school. Next, he was going to the bureau to find his father.
However, he didn't go out in the store's pickup truck as usual. Instead, he hailed a taxi at the school gate.
Following the script, he now has to add drama to himself. As soon as we got in the car, the driver smiled and said: "Oh, it's you, haha."
"Master, is it such a coincidence?"
"Yeah, it's just a coincidence."
This taxi driver was the same driver who took Tan Wenbin from Pingju Photo Studio to the Eighth Hospital last time. The taxi driver told him that his grandson had been in a car accident because he was also going to the Eighth Hospital to visit a big brother and give him back some money. No fare required.
Jinling is a big city and there are many taxis. This was the second time we met. Tan Wenbin took the opportunity to look at the other person’s work permit in front of him: Liu Changping.
Liu Changping said while driving: "I'm going to watch a movie with someone tonight."
"Have you found a partner?"
"The eight characters are just one stroke away."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you so much. If you hadn't taken my car to the hospital that day, I wouldn't have known her."
"Oh?"
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"She is a trainee nurse in the hospital. I happened to meet her when I parked the car. She fell down, so I went to help her, and we got to know each other that way."
"That's your own blessing."
"Hey."
Tan Wenbin knew that it was because Liu Changping confiscated his money that day.
I had just returned from a wave with the Dragon King, and he gave it to me for free, which could be regarded as a small amount of merit in this wave.
This small amount of merit fell on Liu Changping and gave him a line of marriage.
This is not an exaggeration... because I relied on this merit to directly increase my Yangshou. Looking at the White Crane boy, if the merit was not rich enough, how could he "endure the humiliation" and eat alone?
In addition, after Tan Wenbin read Brother Xiao Yuan's record of the third wave in "Chasing the Distance", he noticed that Brother Xiao Yuan also wrote about being "hacked" in the car when he returned to school.
Although there is no verification, Tan Wenbin suspects that the person who hacked Brother Xiaoyuan's fare is the "turtle grandson" Liu Changping calls him.
This guy is really serious. It’s not good for anyone to blackmail him. The Dragon King’s fare just came back from his wandering journey.
Directly link one's own cause and effect with "evil spirits". If he is not unlucky, who else will be?
Thanks to Brother Xiaoyuan's breaking down of the understanding of cause and effect in the river, Tan Wenbin now has his own understanding of this. There is indeed a kind of "noble person" in this world. When you meet a noble person, you will have good luck.
But the premise is that you have a right mind. Those who have a right mind will benefit from good luck, and those who have an unhealthy mind will suffer backlash.
With the conversation ready, Tan Wenbin started chatting with Liu Changping.
While chatting, he introduced the topic to the robbery case against his brother's sister.
"Isn't that true? Especially when picking up passengers at night, I have to be extra careful. I don't dare to go to some remote places, no matter how far the road is and how high the fare is.
And on that kind of night, when several men took a taxi together, I felt a little bit embarrassed.
I don't want to make money and spend my life. ”
"Then they can't arrange for women to take taxis to lower your vigilance? I heard that there seemed to be such a case four years ago, and one person died."
"Yes, yes, I remember that. The group asked the woman to take a taxi at night. After arriving at the place, the two men rushed into the car and robbed her.
Alas, I had just joined this industry at that time, and I was frightened when I found out about this. Later, the gang was arrested by the police, but it seemed that the woman escaped. ”
Next, Tan Wenbin deliberately guided Liu Changping to attack the female suspect.
Liu Changping cursed so much that when he arrived at his destination, he was still not satisfied. He picked up the cup and drank a whole glass of water in one breath.
Tan Wenbin paid the fare, and Liu Changping generously gave him a zero.
"Hey, how can this be so embarrassing? Isn't it usually the passengers who tip the driver?"
"Seriously, little brother, if you open a shop one day and just chat with people, I think there will be people who are willing to pay you just to chat."
"Hahaha." Tan Wenbin got out of the car with a smile, walked into the police station, came to the door of his father's office, and knocked.
"Come in."
Tan Wenbin straightened his clothes and thought of Liu Changping before. He suddenly realized that his own father had always been the one who shared the most profits.
I'm not even old yet. Dad, have you been taking advantage of my son? It’s simply turning the sky upside down!
Tan Wenbin pushed open the office door and went in. He deliberately left the door open and said loudly:
"Dad, when I just took a taxi, I heard the taxi driver tell me something, saying that there was a gang four years ago...
There are such arrogant criminal gangs in this world. My brothers and sisters have worked so hard to serve the citizens and create a good city name card, working hard from dawn to dusk and forgetting to eat and sleep...
In broad daylight, everything is clear...
It’s simply unbearable...
As an outstanding young man awarded by the police station, if I have a chance, I must...
...bring him to justice! ”
Tan Wenbin's voice attracted many police officers outside. Some old police officers were also educating young police officers about the case. In order to catch this gang, the bureau made a lot of efforts and even asked the police officers to pretend to be taxis. driver.
Tan Yunlong sat behind his desk. At first, he was wondering what disease his son was suffering from.
But as he listened, his expression gradually became a little strange. He had a premonition that he seemed... to make a meritorious deed again.
In fact, every time before he performed a meritorious service, his son would perform this inexplicable act.
Finally, Tan Wenbin finished speaking.
Tan Yunlong opened the lid of the teacup on his desk and pushed it towards the table.
Tan Wenbin was not polite, stepped forward and drank all the tea in the cup.
"Huh... hiccup."
"What's the matter?"
Tan Wenbin went to close the door of the office, walked to the desk, and whispered: "Dad, the wanted notice I copied at your place yesterday..."
"Isn't that what you just said is one of them?"
"Well, I think the case I just mentioned can be investigated more intensively."
"What clues do you have?"
"Not yet, but it depends on human effort."
"What's the idea?"
"Not yet, but the sky has eyes."
Tan Yunlong pulled out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth.
To be honest, as a police officer, he was unwilling to put his own thinking model into this situation.
But the problem is, sometimes you can't help yourself. Ever since that boy opened the door of his office at Shigang Police Station and walked in to tell someone that there was a body buried under the pond and water tank, his worldview has been somewhat distorted.
He could only comfort himself over and over again that everything was to solve the case and bring the criminal to justice.
Tan Wenbin took out a cigarette from his cigarette case, and after he finished lighting the cigarette, he put it to his mouth.
Tan Yunlong helped him light his cigarette and asked, "Didn't you quit?"
"Well, I have been quitting for many days."
"That's such a pity, just bear with it."
"It's okay, it's not a pity, Tiantian Jie."
Tan Yunlong sighed helplessly: "Smoking less is not good for your health."
Tan Wenbin blew out a smoke ring and waved his hand, "It's even better. Your son and I can now take the initiative to do addition and subtraction."
Tan Yunlong said: "The nature of this case was very bad at the time. As a citizen, I have the responsibility and obligation to cooperate with the police to jointly create a harmonious and safe social security environment..."
Tan Wenbin couldn't help but nodded. He was worthy of kissing me. He was just like himself and smart.
Tan Yunlong: "...If you can find her and find her, call the police in time."
"Understood!"
Tan Wenbin put out the cigarette butt and waved his hand: "Dad, I'm leaving. I may have to go on a long trip in the near future. Please come home more and stay with my mother."
"You don't need to teach me this."
"The problem is that if you are busy at work and don't accompany your wife, your wife will find my partner to accompany her. When my partner goes, I have to drive there. I am also very busy, okay?"
"Get out!"
Tan Wenbin left the police station and when he walked to the door, he looked at the majestic and tall signs on both sides.
He remembered that Brother Xiao Yuan had said before that when Uncle Li encountered something dirty, he would take the initiative to hug the police station sign.
At the beginning, Brother Xiaoyuan and Runsheng treated themselves as temporary signs and hugged them.
So, does my trip today count as a "brand hug"?
Anyway, here we come.
Tan Wenbin walked to the plaque, opened his arms, and gave him a warm hug.
"Hey, Binbin?" Officer Xiao Zhou happened to walk in from outside. Seeing this scene, he smiled and said, "I wish I had known you applied for the police academy!"
"Huh?" Tan Wenbin patted the dust on his chest and laughed, "The revolutionary division of labor is different."
"It's okay. It's not like I won't have a chance after graduation."
"I still prefer to deal with the water."
"That's okay, water conservancy projects will help the country's development!"
……
At dusk, outside the middle school after school.
"Remember, you have to hand over so much money tomorrow, do you hear me?"
"I...I don't have any more."
"No more? Haha, just like today, wouldn't it be nice if you secretly took out the money at home?"
"My parents will find out again, really."
"I don't care if your parents find out or not. Remember, if you can't get the money tomorrow, think about what will happen to you."
"I..."
"Crack!"
With a mouth slap, the male student fell to the ground. A gangster stepped on the boy's chest with his shoe and spit heavily in the boy's face.
"This is just an appetizer. If you can't pay for it tomorrow, I'll treat you to a good meal in the toilet, hahaha!"
"I pay...I pay..."
"Bang!"
The gangster kicked the boy again: "Go away, see you tomorrow, don't try to hide from us, we have plenty of ways to find you."
The boy got up in embarrassment and ran away while crying.
The three gangsters got together, counted the money, and divided it in time.
Just at this time, a female student walked over, and a gangster stepped forward and slapped the female student hard on the butt.
"Ah!"
The female student ran away screaming.
The gangster put his palm in front of his nose and sniffed, letting out a proud and harsh laugh.
At this time, another gangster poked him and pointed to another place. At the stall across the road, a young man who looked like a nerd was paying. He was holding a stack of unity in his hand and counting the change. Give the money to the stall owner.
There was a young woman next to the young man. The woman was carrying a bag and wearing a skirt. The two were quarreling.
"Brother Tiger, that horse is so white."
"Yes, it's really white and so damn supple."
"Isn't he from a middle school but from a nearby university?"
"It should be."
The eyes of the three gangsters were immediately attracted by Yin Meng.
Yin Meng is not bad looking, and Aunt Liu used a special method to whiten her skin. In addition, she also dressed up specially today, making her look even more youthful and beautiful.
The three gangsters unconsciously moved over there, hoping to join in the fun. They could either be a hero and save the beauty, or take advantage of every opportunity. Anyway, it would not be a loss.
However, before they could finish shopping, the two people on the other side of the road took the initiative to come here.
The man also took the initiative to hand the money to the woman and stuffed it into the girl's bag.
Shuyou Lin: "This is all the living expenses given by my family this semester. I can leave them with you for safekeeping."
Yinmeng put the money into her bag and mocked: "What are you giving me for this money? Haha, I really look down on the face of a nouveau riche like yours."
Shuyou Lin: "You can say that to me, but you can't say that to my family!"
"I said, I said, what's wrong? Your family is just a nouveau riche, why are you so arrogant?"
"That's better than your family. Your family was rich before, but now it's just a feather!"
"Even a chicken feather is also a phoenix feather. Can a small character like yours compare?"
"Hey, if you don't even mention how brave you were back then, why don't you look at who is the only one left in your family now!"
Next, the two sides exchanged high-frequency insults about "nouveau riche" and "broken family."
The three gangsters heard that the man was trying to please the woman, but the woman didn't appreciate it. The woman's family used to be in very good condition, but not anymore, but the man's family is now rich.
The two people obviously had a heated argument, almost falling out, scolding each other until their faces turned red. It didn't look like they were acting at all.
Moreover, these two people talked so closely that the three gangsters didn't know how to interrupt even if they were close.
Shuyou Lin: "Don't even look at how poor your family is now!"
Yin Meng: "What a poor man! My grandfather buried treasure in the backyard of his old house. As long as I need it, I can go back to my hometown and dig it out at any time!"
According to local customs, Yinmeng's grandfather buried two jars of wine for her not long after Yinmeng was born, waiting to be opened when Yinmeng got married.
"If you keep doing this, I will ignore you!"
"Ignore me, ignore me. Who cares about you? Get out of here and don't follow me!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Shuyou Lin separated.
Yinmeng walked into the alley ahead alone.
The three gangsters looked at each other and then followed. They had watched the man put a wad of money into the woman's bag.
"Ah, what are you going to do, what are you going to do!"
Yin Meng heard the footsteps coming from behind, and used the bag in her hand to hit them, but soon because the girl was weak, even the bag was snatched away.
"Go away, don't come over, don't come over!" Yinmeng hugged her arms in fear and kept backing into the corner.
The three gangsters swallowed and were about to eat some more tofu when they suddenly heard a rapid whistle nearby.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The three gangsters used to only bully middle school students and squeeze their money. When they heard this voice, they immediately panicked and ran away quickly leaving Yinmeng behind.
Shuyou Lin landed with the whistle in his mouth.
Yinmeng also returned to normal and said: "You are too fast, I haven't laid the foundation yet."
Lin Shuyou said: "I'm worried that you can't help it."
If these three people really started to attack Yin Meng, Shuyou Lin was afraid that Yin Meng would get angry and directly poison these three people to death.
Yinmeng said: "Hurry up and chase them, follow them and see if they will take the bait."
"Understood!"
Shuyou Lin jumped over the wall to chase after him.
The three gangsters ran back to one of them's house. After closing the door, they immediately started picking up the stolen bags in the house.
The first is the wad of money, a real wad of unity.
Immediately afterwards, there were some broken money and some cosmetics used by girls.
"Hey, what is this?"
One of the makeup boxes was cracked, and a piece of yellowed paper was hidden inside.
Brother Hu took out this piece of paper and spread it out. He drew a picture on it, marked in traditional Chinese characters, with a specific location. Next was the backyard of Jiezhai, Baichi Village, Shasha Town, Zhangjiajie...
Finally, there is a small illustration, which shows a jar buried in a yard. There are pieces of things in the jar, and there is a note "gold" next to it. You can actually see it even if you don't read the note.
"Is this a treasure map from that woman's home? She said that her grandfather buried a treasure for her."
"Is this true?" one of the gangsters asked.
"Brother Hu, I think it should be true."
Brother Hu: "I think it's true too."
At the edge of the roof, Shuyou Lin was hanging there, listening to the conversation inside through the window.
After discussion, the three gangsters gradually reached a consensus that the treasure map was real.
The trick is not clever, but it is impeccable.
Because the three gangsters couldn't think of the possibility of being deceived, because they had nothing to be deceived.
Of course, the most important thing is that this wad of money really comes into their hands.
It is the weight of this wad of money that makes this treasure map look so real.
If a scammer throws a wad of money directly at your face when committing fraud, then there is a high probability that not many people in this world can survive without being deceived.
"Does that woman know the treasure map is in this?"
Brother Hu: "Whether she knows it or not, we must seize the time to dig out the gold. We will have nothing to worry about in this life!
"Even if we don't find gold, this money is enough for the three of us to travel a few times, and we won't lose money anyway!"
Brother Hu slapped him on the head: "Fart, don't say bad words, there will be gold! Come on, you two go home first, take the time to pack your things, we will go to the train station tonight!"
Lin Shuyou smiled and took his body back. Just as he jumped downstairs and was about to find a canteen to call, he met Yin Meng who was also looking for him.
Yin Meng threw a bag of clothes to Shuyou Lin. There was a new set of clothes, a hat, scarf, sunglasses and money. She asked:
"How's it going?"
"Go and inform Brother Xiaoyuan that you can eat fish."
……
Brother Hu and the two brothers entered the train station with a luggage bag each.
They first went to the ticket window to buy tickets. Fortunately, there was a train to that destination at night.
"Are there any soft sleepers?"
Brother Hu pretended to ask questions. He actually saw the sign saying that there were no tickets for soft sleepers on this train, but that didn't stop him from asking deliberately now that he had money.
If there really was a soft sleeper ticket, he wouldn't have asked. He wouldn't dare to spend too much money before he got the gold.
"There are no soft sleepers anymore. There are hard sleepers. Do you want to buy them?"
"Buy, three tickets."
Brother Hu took the ticket and turned around and left.
Later, Shuyou Lin stepped forward in a different outfit. He had extensive experience in makeup and performance. It was not easy to follow Brother Hu and the others at close range without being discovered.
When Brother Hu and the others walked a little further, Shuyou Lin said: "Those who are on the same bus as them will have five hard sleepers."
……
The wind was very strong on the platform at night, bringing with it the coolness of late autumn.
The train finally entered the station, railway staff began to make arrangements, and passengers got off the train one after another.
Brother Hu and the three of them entered a hard sleeper with three bunks on each side, a total of six bunks.
"We only have a lower bunk bed."
Brother Tiger: "Damn it, I forgot to mention it when I bought the ticket."
The tickets were issued with consecutive numbers, and the three brothers on the left, upper, middle and lower, happened to be round.
But the upper middle berth in the hard sleeper compartment is really cramped and uncomfortable.
Brother Hu: "Well, Ah Xing, you can sleep on the lower bunk opposite, and take turns sleeping with Awen. If someone comes, we can just switch bunks with him. What a big deal."
Ah Xing nodded and directly occupied a lower bunk opposite.
Soon, a strong man with bandages on his body came in.
He stood next to Ah Xing and said in a low voice: "This is my shop."
Ah Xing looked up at the strong man, and then at Brother Hu who was sleeping on the lower bunk opposite.
Brother Hu saw Runsheng, but he pretended not to see it.
"Get out!"
Runsheng's voice amplified.
Ah Xing had no choice but to leave the lower bunk and climb onto the upper bunk opposite.
Next, Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Wenbin came in.
The boy’s bag contained Grandma Zhu’s paintings and photos, and Tan Wenbin’s bag contained the wanted poster.
Li Zhuiyuan climbed to the upper bunk on this side, and Tan Wenbin came to the middle bunk.
Yin Meng and Shuyou Lin are next door.
The train started to move.
Tan Wenbin was the first to start the conversation and asked Brother Hu: "Where are you going?"
Brother Tiger: "Zhangjiajie."
"What a coincidence, I went there too."
"Are you from there?"
"Let's count half of it. I went to school there when I was a child."
"Then do you know where Shazi Town and Baichi Village are?"
"Idiot Town and Idiot Village?"
"Yes, do you know where it is?"
"Hey, I really don't know. Place names have changed drastically in recent years. Zhangjiajie used to be called this name. Are you going here?"
"Yeah."
"It's okay. I'll ask you questions when you get there. I'll definitely be able to find out."
"Okay."
"By the way, what are you doing there?"
"Something happened." Brother Hu didn't want to talk any more.
Tan Wenbin stopped talking. It was late at night when we got in the car, and everyone gradually began to fall asleep.
At first, the snoring of Brother Hu and the other three was very loud, but soon it was completely suppressed by the symphony of Runsheng and Tan Wenbin.
Li Zhuiyuan was lying on the upper bunk, eyes open, looking sideways out of the car window.
It was dark outside, with only a few sparse lights here and there.
If you are a pessimist, you may feel sad at this time and feel that the future is bleak and confusing.
But there was a vivid luster in the young man's eyes, and he was very excited.
Walk along the river, walk along the river,
Perhaps he shouldn't have squatted there, waiting tremblingly for the river water to hit him one after another.
Instead,
Take the initiative to walk towards the river!
