Ren found that the person sitting opposite him had been staring at him.
At this time, it had been two days since he left Bricka. He embarked on a journey to Desperate Meadows. He was now on a train destined for Winston City. After that, he had to travel to several places to get there.
Arriving beyond the meadow of despair - Ozzy has been waiting for a day for a long time.
As for the Brica matter, after it got on the right track, Renn had no reason to care about things that had nothing to do with him. He was not a politician, and he didn't even bother to read the news to learn about the fate of the Speaker of Parliament and the executioner.
On the train, he was looking down at the snake god scales on the back of his hand that were covered by a band-aid. He was wondering if there was any other way to block this thing. He just used the band-aid because he felt that wearing gloves every day was weird.
, but now I still feel a little uncomfortable and always want to tear that thing off.
At this time, he noticed that there seemed to be a gaze always falling on him.
Ren raised his head and found an unshaven man sitting opposite him looking at him intently.
He didn't react until he saw Ren looking up.
"Sorry, sorry, I was a little lost, mainly because you look a lot like a friend of mine. He just left two days ago."
Ren didn't know how to answer this, so he could only wave his hand: "It's okay, my condolences."
He lowered his head and continued to think about what happened before, but he felt that the eyes on the other side were still on him.
Although it was understandable that his friend across the street had passed away, it was really rude to keep staring at a stranger, which made Ren strangely uncomfortable - he wanted to rip off the band-aid more and more.
So he raised his head again and asked directly and decisively: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The person on the other side also realized his impoliteness, apologized again, and then said: "Actually, my friend has an unfulfilled last wish. I think... By the way, I haven't asked my little brother what your name is yet.
?”
Although Ren was vaguely aware that he was in trouble again, there was no reason to show off to others at this time, so he could only say: "Ren."
"Brother Lane, please introduce yourself. My name is Weller. I used to be the mayor of Guna City. The friend I'm talking about, his name is Dodd, and he is the mayor of Kemeni Town under Guna...
....the doorman. Look, this is his picture."
Weller lowered his head and took out a photo from his bag and handed it to Ren.
The photo showed a man in his thirties. After looking at it for a long time, Ren didn't think he looked much like him. He could only say that his face shape was similar. However, he was a little curious as to how these two people became friends. "You
Have you known your friend for a long time?"
"No, I just met him for the first time two months ago."
"Then how did you meet?"
"In prison." The bearded Weller laughed awkwardly: "Both of us went to prison for taking bribes. He was executed a few days ago, and I was released after completing my three-year sentence.
"
"Eh, isn't that right?" Renn looked at the man in front of him, "Are you the mayor?"
"Um."
"He is the mayor's doorman?"
"right."
"Then why did you sentence him to three years when he was sentenced to death?"
"In total, I took over hundreds of thousands from others, and I behaved well in prison, so my sentence was reduced to three years. In addition to accepting bribes, Dodd also misappropriated public funds and used power for personal gain. The total amount involved was nearly 300 million.
"
Lane black question mark face.
"Are you sure you really didn't say anything against your two positions?"
"Big officials are afraid of death, but small officials are greedy for death."
Ren felt that we couldn't talk anymore. Although he didn't know what that person's last wish was, he didn't want to get into such trouble.
But Weller in front of him seemed to have identified him. Even though Lane lowered his head again and pretended to rest, he pretended not to see it and kept talking to himself: "Dodd told me before he was executed that he still had
One of his unfulfilled wishes is to go back to his hometown, Dani Town in Winston, and show off in front of his former neighbors to let them know that he got out. If he can't show off like this, he will not be willing to die. "
This is already dead and you still want to show off?
Ren rolled his eyes - he couldn't pretend to rest now.
"Don't his relatives and friends in his hometown know that he went to prison?"
"You probably don't know that he went to the town of Kemeni to work alone a few years ago. The TV reports about this incident mainly talked about the mayor of Kemeni and did not mention him."
After hearing this, Ren finally understood what the other party wanted to do.
Sure enough, Weller soon explained his purpose: "Originally, I planned to pretend to be Dodd myself, but now that I met you, you look more like him. As long as you put on a fake beard, you can hide it from him.
Those neighbors, they haven’t seen each other for several years anyway.”
"no."
Ren immediately refused: "I have something very important. I'm afraid I can't spare time to do anything else. Besides, my acting skills are terrible and I can't pretend to be your friend. You'd better do it yourself or find someone else. If not, I have that kind of proficient face."
There are magic makeup artists, you can find them."
Weller spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I just came out of prison. All my assets have been confiscated. I only have a little money left. I can't afford a magic makeup artist."
Ren looked Weller up and down again: "You are like this. You don't want to solve the problem quickly, but you still go all the way to help the inmates fulfill their wishes? The ticket is not cheap."
Weller looked around, came closer, and whispered: "It's like this. Of the amount Dodd embezzled, there is still 100 million that has not been recovered. He told me where the money was hidden, but he wanted to withdraw it."
You need a password to get out. The password is divided into three parts, and you have to pretend to be Dodd in order to get it out from his neighbors."
It turned out that he wanted to recoup the stolen money.
Renn immediately cast a look of contempt: "It seems that your rehabilitation in prison is not going well."
Weller smiled: "You can see that my current situation is similar to that of a beggar, so my idea is that if you are willing, we can get the money and divide it together. Just nine of you and one of us.
"
Seeing Ren's eyes becoming more and more contemptuous, he quickly added: "Of course, if you don't want to, you can. We will get the money back and hand it over. According to the regulations of Guna City, we can help the police recover the stolen money. We can
If you get a 1%-5% reward, even if it’s only 1%, it’s still 1 million. It’s still nine of you and one of us. One hundred thousand yuan is enough to solve my urgent need.”
Ren smiled contemptuously. I once gave away 100 million yuan without breaking the bed board in my dormitory. Now I am still burdened with the heavy responsibility of saving the world. I will help a corrupt official fulfill his wish for a mere few hundred thousand yuan?
joke.
"Okay, deal!"
Lane smiled and shook Weller's hand.
It is our duty to recover stolen money for the people.
