The situation was critical, so I immediately took out my mobile phone and prepared to call Fangyuan to report, and asked Xie Xin'an with my eyes: Is it okay?
Xie Xin'an sat back on the sofa again, shrugged her shoulders, and let me do whatever I wanted.
Fangyuan might have gone to catch up on some sleep, but he was too sleepy and didn't answer the call. I was afraid of being delayed, so I had to call another patrolman.
When I went to pick up the second body (Zhao Xi) last night, the patrol officer in charge was more "respectful" towards me and even took the initiative to exchange phone calls with me.
But I forgot what his name was, so I had to look through the address book on my phone to look for the newly added unfamiliar name, and found him, Liu Feng.
"Sir Liu, this is Wu Ming..." I told Liu Feng Xie Xin'an's analysis. He attached great importance to it. Moreover, it was true that the people from Five-Star Plaza had been evacuated, but he said he would send one immediately.
People go back and guard.
I had an idea: "Sir Liu, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's mature or not."
"Please tell me." Liu Feng looked like he was in his fifties, but he was very polite to me, a young guy. It was probably because of the hearse I drove, or maybe he knew a little bit about the people behind the hearse.
People and things - for example, this Mr. Yincha sitting opposite me, there is no doubt that I am now Xie Xin'an's "colleague".
"I think that instead of sending people to guard the square to prevent the murderer from committing the crime, it is better to send people to keep an eye on the square secretly, wait for the murderer to appear, and then arrest him." I expressed my thoughts.
"Haha, you are worthy of Bai... Xiao Wu, if you don't come to patrol, it will be a real loss for our criminal arrest brigade," Liu Feng said with a smile, "I will set up a working group to keep an eye on the square 24 hours a day. According to your instructions,
The best way is to wait and see!”
"Yeah." I hung up the phone. I had said enough. After all, it was a business trip and I couldn't interfere too much.
I put down the phone, breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the coffee and took a sip. To be honest, the taste was average. In my opinion, it was not as good as the instant Nestlé that cost 1.5 yuan a bag.
While I was on the phone, Xie Xin'an had been curled up on the sofa playing with her mobile phone. Judging from the posture of her hands, it looked like she was playing with King Pesticide. This adult is indeed a bit trendy.
"Is it done?" She suddenly raised her head and asked me.
"hold head high."
Xie Xin'an took off her earphones and put down her phone: "I just thought of something. Did you get any benefits last night?"
"Benefits?" I thought for a while, no, does shaking Fangyuan's hand count?
Xie Xin'an put her feet down, stepped on the ground, sat upright and said: "I met Mr. Liao from the Underworld Finance Office last night to pick up his daughter."
"Master Liao...Liao Xin's father?" I guessed, it turned out that he was also an "adult", what kind of person?
"Exactly, Mr. Liao said that you helped his daughter recover her broken body. He was very grateful and asked me to help you cash a check from the underworld."
Confused, I took out the check that had been crumpled into a ball from my pocket. Is this a check from the underworld? The bank lady already admitted that it was their check, but it was expired.
But when I unfolded the check, I found that the handwriting and pattern on it had changed!
The picture is very delicate and colorful. It says "Hot Summer Land Bank Cash Check" at the top. In the middle is the amount, which is still 1 million, but the unit is not yuan, but a character I don't recognize, similar to "Dan", in the lower left corner.
There is a green seal on it, and in the lower right corner is the signature of the owner of the check - Liao Kaishen.
"Wucao!" Xie Xin'an took the check from my hand. When she saw the amount, her face turned pale, "Master Liao is so generous to you! Our annual salary is only 1 million!"
"Can you exchange it into RMB?" I asked eagerly, and added, "If you can help me, I will give half of it to you!"
"Then why am I so embarrassed! Thank you!" Xie Xin'an smiled coquettishly. She ignored Master Yincha's dignity and kissed the check frivolously. I didn't expect that she looked so cold and cold, but she was actually a cold-blooded person.
A greedy man who is obsessed with money.
"How many RMB can... be exchanged?" I asked again, not to mention that I can only exchange 100 yuan, so I can be generous and give it all to Master Bai, but it shouldn't be possible, her official is not very big.
Yes, for such a senior official, the annual salary cannot be only 100 yuan.
"Wait a moment, I'll check today's yin and yang exchange rate." Xie Xin'an tinkered with the phone for a while, and after completing the calculation, he showed me the screen.
I have never seen this kind of web interface. It is so fancy that it may be a web page dedicated to the underworld.
"6.2 million... ten thousand! RMB?" I asked in surprise. I didn't expect the exchange rate of Ming coins to be so high, comparable to a U.S. dollar.
Xie Xin'an smiled, took out a soft-tipped pen from the pen holder on the table, bit off the pen cap with her small mouth, stamped the lower left corner of the check, signed her name, and then handed the check to me: "Go
At the ICBC next to the Second Hospital, find a manager named Chu Ci, and she will help you exchange it into RMB."
"Thank you! Thank you, sir!" I took the check with a bang. I didn't expect that making an appointment with her for coffee would bring such a big windfall!
"When you redeem it, don't forget to give me half of it!" Xie Xin'an was confident, but I think it's worth it. If she doesn't do this for me, then this check will be just a piece of waste paper to me.
"Do you also want RMB?" I asked, but she didn't say whether to exchange all of it or leave half of the check amount for her.
"I patrol the Yang Realm all year round. What can I use if I don't use RMB? You go ahead. If I'm not here when you come back, just leave the money at the front desk of the cafe." Xie Xin'an continued to play with her mobile phone while lowering her head and told me,
It seemed like she didn't care about the money. Her eyes turned green when she heard such a huge amount just now!
Compared with the homicide cases that were handled by patrol officers, this was my big deal. I stood up to say goodbye, left the private room, and quickly went downstairs. When I got to the first floor, the non-human mother and son in the dining room had disappeared.
It was empty, except for the little beauty with chopstick legs sitting at the front desk, smiling at me and saying, "Well done, sir. Welcome back."
Why am I an adult now? I think it may be a respectful term given to others by people in the underworld, just like in the human world, anyone with some status will be respectfully called "teacher" by others, even if he is a pedicure person.
I didn't realize it at first when I walked out of the cafe door. When I walked to the hearse, I realized that the sun was shining brightly outside, the ground was dry and dry, and there was no trace of fresh rain. Before, I was standing outside the second floor window.
The ghosts in the rain that I saw were nowhere to be seen. The streets were still deserted, with only a few funeral supply store operators visible.
What I saw just now was all an illusion?
I looked back at the cafe and was completely confused. Why did the cafe become a bungalow with only one floor?
Could it be that Xie Xin'an and I were drinking coffee on the roof just now...
