The man in the middle was a rough man with dark skin and two front teeth hanging out. He was even more exaggerated than Mr. Rabbit. When he saw me, he immediately stood up enthusiastically, took my hand and introduced himself, saying that he was nicknamed "Big Banya".
", is Mr. Rabbit's cousin.
I met the people in the room separately and chatted about some irrelevant topics at first. It wasn't until we drank for three rounds that I revealed the purpose of my visit.
Hearing this, Dad Ya was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Master Rabbit first, and Master Rabbit knocked on the table and said, "Old Ya, we are brothers. What can we hide from the people I brought?"
Big Banya nodded repeatedly and said with a buck-tooth grin, "Brother Lin Feng, it's not that I, Big Banya, are unjust, it's just that the matter you are asking about is a secret from above, and I don't know much about it. But I don't know much about Lin Yuan.
I have met him before, he is a special commissioner transferred from the General Administration, he has a very high authority, he is not on the same level as us, he is the director of our first division, and Lao Zhang is relatively familiar with him."
I quickly asked, "Where is this old Zhang now?"
Dabanya smiled bitterly and said, "Director Zhang is a very busy man. He has been assigned elsewhere these days. There is no way to contact him for the time being. And even if you find him, he may not be willing to reveal the truth to you."
This is true. Although I don’t know what the second uncle is specifically responsible for in the general bureau, the authority must be very high. However, Mr. Tu and other old brothers are non-staff members of the Northwest Bureau and are low-level people. Naturally, they cannot reach the second uncle.
uncle level.
I asked again, "Then when was the last time my second uncle appeared in Xi'an?"
Dabanya thought for a while and said that it must have been three months ago. At that time, Lin Yuan brought many elites from the General Administration to find Lao Zhang. The two parties closed the door and talked about something. After that, Lin Yuan left in a hurry, while Lao Zhang
He has been mysteriously missing for a while, but I can’t find out what exactly he was talking about...
Speaking of this, he looked shy, rubbed his hands and said, "You also know that we are non-staff personnel after recruitment. To put it bluntly, we are a group of idlers who are not responsible for specific affairs. The six doors provide money to support us.
To prevent us from returning to our old business, some confidential and important matters will not be told to us."
I nodded to show that I understood, and said thank you to Dabi Ya while holding the wine glass.
After dinner, I said to Feng Li, "It seems that Director Zhang should know something about the whereabouts of my second uncle. All we need to do is find him."
Feng Li said it was not that simple. The whereabouts of your second uncle involve national secrets, and local officials may not all know it. Besides, even if they knew it, why would they tell you?
Chen Xuanyi also nodded, saying that this was reasonable.
I didn't care about anything else, shook my head and said, "No matter what, we must find this Lao Zhang. It is related to the safety of my second uncle, so we can't just let it go."
That night, we returned to the resting place and continued to stay, while Mr. Rabbit continued to contact Dadanya by phone, hoping to find out the whereabouts of Director Zhang.
After two days of hard work, a reply came from Daban Ya, saying that Director Zhang has returned and is currently resting at home. He can provide Director Zhang's home address, but there is a prerequisite: we must not mess around.
And it cannot be revealed that he betrayed the organization.
Feng Li and I looked at each other, smiled, and nodded in agreement.
That night, we decided to go to Director Zhang’s home without further delay.
Because of his appearance, Mr. Rabbit couldn't show up easily. He was afraid that Director Zhang would see his identity and would vent his anger on the Dabanya gang, so it was just me, Chen Xuanyi and Feng Li who set off together.
In the early hours of the night, Feng Li parked his car next to a small western-style building, pointed to the building in front, and said that the address provided by Master Tu was here.
I hurriedly went to knock on the door, but Chen Xuanyi suddenly grabbed me, shook his head, and said not to be impatient. The person from the General Administration is staring at us now. Director Zhang is an officer of the Northwest Bureau, so he might have been there early.
We received orders from above to coordinate surveillance on us. If you go like this, wouldn't you be the target of your own anger?
I said what should I do?
Chen Xuan pursed his lips, looked at Feng Li and said, "This man has not come into the sight of the General Administration. It is most appropriate for him to pay a visit."
Feng Li didn't shirk, nodded and said, "Okay, you guys wait in the car, I'll be right back!"
After saying that, he opened the car door and jumped out. Taking advantage of the darkness, he pressed his body against the outer wall like a gecko, and climbed over the wall in a flash.
Chen Xuanyi looked at Feng Li's back with great interest and said, "This friend of yours is very skilled, but what kind of "species" is he?"
I smiled bitterly and said that Feng Li was most afraid of others telling him about his life experience, so I couldn't say more. Chen Xuan smiled and said it doesn't matter, there will always be opportunities to meet him in the future, but I am quite curious, how can you become good friends with these transformers?
?
I opened my mouth and was about to answer, but suddenly I heard Feng Li's babbling voice inside, "Zhou Cao, what's wrong with this?"
Something happened!
Chen Xuanyi and I shivered at the same time, looked at each other, hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car, quickly jumped over the wall, and chased towards the place where Feng Li made the sound, whispering, "What's wrong?"
"He's dead!" Feng Li stood at the hall and waved to me, saying that you should hurry up and come and see.
Chen Xuanyi and I hurried forward and looked intently towards the hall, and were soon stunned by the scene in front of us.
There were obvious signs of a fight in this house. A middle-aged man was lying in the living room, the floor on his chest was soaked with blood, and he had been dead for a long time.
"Director Zhang?"
My expression changed greatly, and I hurriedly turned the body over, took a closer look, and then turned back with a sad face and said, "It's over, it's already cold!"
Looking at the corpse, I felt terrible.
I finally found some clues about my second uncle, but Director Zhang was found dead at home. How can I continue to trace it?
Feng Li said that the blood stains were still very fresh, and it was estimated that the person had been dead for less than half an hour. Fortunately, the shoes were not dropped. He wondered if feeding him a few packs of isatis root would have any effect?
I said, can you shut up? It's your uncle! Why do people die at home in a daze? Who did it?
Maybe he was frightened by my expression, Feng Li suddenly looked aggrieved, spread his hands and said, how the hell do I know?
Chen Xuan interrupted us, frowned and said stop arguing and leave quickly. Director Zhang is also an important figure in the Northwest Bureau after all. If he dies at home like this, it will definitely cause shock to the entire Northwest Bureau. We can't stay any longer!
Feng Li and I both nodded, quickly stood up and walked outside.
Before he could run out of the gate, there were several harsh brake sounds coming from the side of the road, and then several black cars appeared and stopped at the door.
A few beams of bright white light hit the floor-to-ceiling window glass, piercing our backs and forcing us to shrink back again.
At this time, several figures jumped out of the car, all wearing Chinese tunic suits. One of them pointed at us and shouted, "Who are you?"
Damn it, how about such a coincidence...
Our expressions changed suddenly, and without any hesitation we immediately dispersed, and the three of us ran in different directions.
"Stop, don't move!"
Those figures were all strong and strong. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately climbed over the wall and rushed in. One of them rushed into the hall, and within two seconds there was a roar of grief and anger, "Zhang Chu...Zhang Chu is dead, don't let him go."
Those three guys must have done it!"
I just ran to the backyard and heard the roar of grief mixed with anger. I felt cold in my heart and said bitterly.
How unlucky does a person have to be to be like me, one step after another?
