Early the next morning, at 5:30, the alarm on my cell phone rang.
"flap."
Zhan Tianyou sat up directly and turned to look at me. Li Hao was hiding in the bed, yawning and asked me: "Let's go."
"Well, get up."
I rubbed my eyes, drank some water, sat up, pushed Ji Li next to me, and said quickly: "Let's go."
"So early." Ji Li asked.
"hurry up."
I lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Then the four of us walked out of the private room. At this time, the lounge was still very quiet. Most people were sleeping. We didn't even take a shower. We just changed clothes and paid the bill. Out the door.
"Let's have something to eat." Ji Li asked me.
"We'll talk about it later. You drive to the old Qin's house you mentioned." I was shivering from the cold in the car. I reached out and turned the heater to the maximum, but all that came out was cool air.
"Okay." Ji Li said and sat in the driver's seat.
Driving fast and with no traffic on the road, we arrived at Uncle Qin's house ten minutes later and waited quietly.
Insomnia is more common among the elderly. They usually don't have much work, and they almost fall ill in a day. Although I'm not sure whether Uncle Qin will be able to get out of it when he wakes up, I want to try, because there is no other way.
We were waiting quietly in the community, and old men and women began to walk out of the houses one after another. Some went to the morning market to buy food, and some were walking around to exercise.
At about six o'clock in the morning, God favored Uncle Qin, wearing a down jacket and a cotton hat, stretching his limbs and walking out of the door. He was old and he would definitely not be able to run, so he could only He walked quickly and rushed outside the community. It seemed that he wanted to go to the morning market to buy some breakfast.
"Follow up."
I said to Ji Li. He glanced at me, stepped on the accelerator and followed. Soon, Uncle Qin left the community. I glanced out the car window and pointed in front. Ji Li accelerated and pulled the car directly. A position parallel to Uncle Qin.
"Work."
I said quickly.
"Squeak."
Ji Li stepped on the accelerator and stopped beside Uncle Qin domineeringly. Li Hao and Zhan Tianyou rushed down at the same time.
"Snapped."
Li Hao covered Uncle Qin's big mouth from behind and hugged him back. Zhan Tianyou instantly lifted Uncle Qin's legs. The two of them didn't need thirty seconds to throw Uncle Qin into the car, and then He sat in the back seat with him between his legs.
"Brother, what you are committing is kidnapping, fuck." Ji Li said to me with his eyes wide open.
"If the matter is clarified, it's not kidnapping. If the matter is clarified, I have to get out of class." I replied with a sideways glance.
In the back seat, Li Hao let go of Uncle Qin's mouth. He immediately roared, looked at Ji Li and cursed: "It's you little brat again, what are you going to do?"
"." Ji Li said nothing.
"Uncle Qin, I'm sorry for meeting you in this way. If you are tired, come with me today and take a look around. You will understand everything. We don't mean any harm. My aunt is also older. Well, don't scare her, call your home and tell them you will definitely be home before dinner." I turned around and said softly.
Uncle Qin frowned and looked at me, and asked in an aggressive tone: "What do you do?"
"I'm the one who solves the case. Just give me a call. If you don't go back now, your family will be worried about you." I didn't say much and tried to persuade her again.
Uncle Qin looked at me, shook his head and yelled: "If you do this, you are almost done."
"Forget it, do you want to fight or not." I immediately didn't want to persuade anymore, pointed at Ji Li and said: "Go back to the city, don't take the national highway, take the dirt road."
"It's done."
Ji Li drove away
At around eight o'clock in the morning, we rushed back to the city. We met a seafood store on the way. I asked Ji Li to stop the car, went down and bought two thousand yuan of sea cucumbers, packed two gift boxes, and rushed to In Xiangfang District, I pointed to the road, and Ji Li drove to the door of a bungalow and stopped.
"Drive the car farther away and wait in the car." I ordered, and got out of the car with the sea cucumber.
Ji Li drove away in his car. I bent down and walked to the door of the bungalow, stretched out my hand and pressed the doorbell.
"Bang."
A few minutes later, the big iron door was pushed open. A middle-aged man in his late fifties, wearing a brown homemade sweater and a cotton-padded jacket draped over his shoulders, blinked and looked at me, was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Oh. , isn’t this little Xiangnan, why are you here?”
"Haha, Uncle Lin, you haven't forgotten me yet."
When I heard what he said, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lin Zi had indeed not told his family about the conflict between him and me. All the gangsters were actually unwilling to talk about outside matters with their family.
"How can you forget? Didn't you always come back with Lin Zi last year?" Lin's father bared his teeth and waved his hands and said, "Come on, come in and sit down. Why are you buying something now? What a nonsense."
"Haha, isn't this the new year?" I smiled lightly, carried my things and followed Father Lin in.
After entering the room, I put my things on the table, changed into a pair of slippers, and sat on the sofa.
"Come find Lin Zi. He hasn't been back for half a month. This kid is too wild now. He doesn't know what he is doing outside every day. Come on, smoke." Lin Zi's father took out a box of Yellow Crane Tower and stretched out his hand. He handed me one.
I looked at the furnishings in the house and felt that they had changed a lot: a Samsung double-door refrigerator, a 54-inch TV, obviously newly posted wallpapers, and the 15-yuan box of Yellow Crane Tower, which all the time reflected a strong atmosphere. With a strong nouveau riche temperament, it is obvious that Lin Zi has been doing well recently and has taken a lot of money from home.
"Uncle, Lin Zi is getting along well now, haha." I lit my cigarette and said kindly.
"It's not bad. I really got some money back home during this period." Lin Zi's father was quite proud. He thought about it for a moment, pointed at me and said, "Hey, I'll give him a call, if he's not busy." , I asked him to come back and have a chat with you, haha."
"No, no need to bother, I'm just here to see you, hehe." I stretched out my hand to stop him.
"Then what do you want from me?" Lin Zi's father put the phone on the coffee table.
"Uncle, I really have something to ask you."
"You tell me and I listen."
"I heard that Brother Lin is doing very well in Sanquan. He also works on bus lines and works on engineering projects. Uncle, I'm not going to hide it from you. I've been doing nothing since I quit working in the game arcade. As for my son, my dad doesn’t work anymore, and the little money I saved before has been spent. I can’t just sit around and have nothing. Look, can you take the time to talk to Brother Lin and ask him if there is still a shortage of people on the bus line? No, if there is a shortage of people, introduce me to the job." I said, scratching my head in embarrassment.
"That's it." Lin Zi's father suddenly smiled exaggeratedly, patted his chest and said, "It's not a big deal. Lin Zi is the manager now. It only takes one sentence to put someone in. You wait for him to come back." , I’ll just say a word to him, but don’t be so arrogant when I say something, your qualifications are a bit too much to be a small leader, and you can’t drive a car.”
"I can do whatever I want, as long as I can get some salary. Anyway, it's better than staying still." I nodded quickly, feeling a little speechless. One person can achieve the goal of a chicken or a dog ascending to heaven. What's going on in this forest? I'm a father. It’s fucking floating too.
"That's enough." Lin Zi's father nodded.
"Thank you, uncle."
"You're welcome, this isn't that difficult. Just sit down and I'll pour you a cup of hot water." Lin Zi's father stood up and said.
"Uncle, can your landline phone make calls?" I asked, pointing to the phone on the small table next to me.
"Can fight."
"Then I'll get one."
"Okay, let's fight, let's fight, it's okay."
Lin Zi's father waved his hand and replied. I took out the key, opened the nail clipper and held it in my hand. I picked up the phone and dialed Lin Zi's cell phone directly. After waiting for more than 20 seconds, Lin Zi picked up in a daze and said: " Hey, what's up, Dad."
I held the receiver, and there was silence for a while.
"Hey." Lin Zi frowned and made a sound.
"Snapped."
I hung up the phone suddenly, paused for three or four seconds, and called again. Lin Zi quickly picked up and asked, "Hey, Dad, why don't you speak."
"." I still didn't make a sound.
"Hey, hey."
"Snapped."
I hung up the phone again, bent down, and found the phone cord under the table. I took a nail clipper and stuck it on the edge. A piece of the cord was broken, but it was not broken.
"Has it been opened?" Lin Zi's father turned his back to me and asked while pouring water.
"Uncle, why is there no busy signal on your phone?"
"Really? It's impossible. I was beaten in the morning. Just wait for me and I'll take a look." Lin Zi's father replied and came over after pouring the water.
"Forget it, I'll use your mobile phone to make a call. My partner needs me urgently." I said slowly with beads of sweat on my forehead.
"Okay, you can use it, it's unlocked."
Lin Zi's father was murmuring with his landline phone in confusion. I grabbed his cell phone on the table and dialed a few numbers. When Lin Zi's call came, I pressed the power off button.
"I didn't answer, maybe I was angry."
I muttered to myself and put his phone on the coffee table again.
"Why is this damn phone broken again?" Lin Zi's father was furious and slammed the phone on the table.
"Forget it, let's not fight, uncle, then I'll leave first. It's over. You can pay more attention to that matter." I stood up instantly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell Lin Zi that if you have nothing to do, just sit down for a while. Your aunt will come back at noon and I will ask her to get some food."
"No, the subject is angry. I'll go check on her."
"Okay, then I'll give it to you."
A few minutes later, Lin Zi's father sent me to the door, then quickly turned around and ran back into the house. As soon as he opened the box I took, he immediately bared his teeth and said: "Tsk, tsk, sea cucumber, it's fun. I'll eat it with some sugar later." Is it something to eat? Yes, just mixed with sugar."
On the other side, Lin Zi was sleeping in the hotel. After answering two inexplicable calls from home, he used his mobile phone to call back. His father hadn't answered yet. He suddenly panicked. He frowned and thought for a long time, lifted the quilt, and walked out. bed,
