Chapter three hundred and fortieth three passwords
"Explain it in advance."
After the train arrived at Winston Station, Lane followed Weller and boarded the luxury car he rented with the last money he had to go to Dodd's hometown of Dani Town.
He checked the news a little on the way and basically confirmed that what Weller said was true, but there was one thing that he was not worried about.
That's his acting skills...
Lane felt that he needed to say hello to Weller in advance, "My acting skills are really bad. Don't blame me if my secret is revealed."
Maybe it was because his money path was secure, or maybe he felt that Lane was one of his own, Weller no longer looked miserable. He smiled and said to Lane: "It's okay, Dodd told me that he used to
He has a bad relationship with his neighbors, so he rarely talks. When you encounter something you are unsure about, just say nothing and I will help you. I have been the mayor for nearly ten years, so dealing with people is so difficult.
I'm good at doing this."
When Ren thought about it, if he didn't have to say too much, he probably, should, maybe, could barely perform well...right?
So he nodded confidently, "That's no problem. But then again, it turns out that you have been the mayor for more than ten years, and you just got a few hundred thousand and then became a disgrace. The guy like you has only been the mayor for a few years.
Friend of the doorman, the gap is a bit big."
Weller's smile suddenly disappeared again.
The car drove in a hurry for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the town of Dani. It is in a river valley. It is not large in scale and probably has a smaller population than Ren's hometown.
The car stopped at the door of Dodd's past house, and the two got out of the car. Renn looked at the house in front of him. It seemed that no one had taken care of the house when Dodd left. It felt very old, and the windows on the second floor
It's still hanging crookedly in the air, and no one would dare to walk underneath it.
Hearing the sound of the car, people came out of the surrounding houses one after another. Looking at the two people getting out of the car, some people stared at the bearded Ren's face for a while, but they didn't seem to recognize them.
Ren glanced at Weller beside him, who whispered to him: "Don't worry about them, don't even look at them, just use the key I just gave you to open the door."
After hearing this, Renn walked towards "home" without looking away.
Weller was behind. He turned around and waved to the driver in the car, asking him to leave. He made a show of gestures and movements, and then followed Ren, walking behind like a follower.
Renn walked to the door, took out the key, and opened the door to the house.
At this time, the neighbor on the right finally realized who this slightly familiar person was, and he shouted uncertainly: 'Dodd?'
Ren followed the sound and looked over. Weller, who was following him, quickly reminded him in a low voice what he should say:
"Oh, it's Ter, yes, it's me. I'll check on the situation at home first, and we'll talk when we have time."
Ren followed the example and entered the house under Weller's secret urging.
As the door closed, the neighbors who were watching outside gathered together and chatted.
"That was Dodd just now?"
"seems like it."
"He seems to have made a fortune. The car he just rode in doesn't look like a bargain."
"I heard before that he became an official outside."
"It's probably true. Didn't you see the look on his face when I just talked to him? He looked contemptuous, smiling, and his eyes were looking up to the sky."
"What do you think he came back for this time?"
"What else can I do? I can show off when I become an official."
"What a piece of trash!"
In the house, Ren and Weller were fanning the dust and coughing and said: "This house is in such a dilapidated state, are we going to live here today?"
Weller covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and rubbed his eyes with the other hand. The more he rubbed, the more uncomfortable he became: "It would be nice to have a place to live. I don't have a penny now."
, so you have to quickly get the password from Dodd's neighbor. Your acting skills just now were so bad that I was afraid that you would be exposed. Fortunately, I pushed you in. You are an official in their eyes now, no
When you make contact, you have to be arrogant, and when they talk to you, you have to be kind and smile, but keep your distance, do you understand?"
"Ahem! You are making things difficult for me. Stop talking about this and just tell me how to figure out their password."
Weller also found that he could no longer wipe his eyes with his hands. Both eyes were red and he could only half-squint: "Dodd told me that he set the password to three things related to his neighbors. The first
This is the person who just talked to you. He once beat Dodd into the hospital in the past, and the first password is what he used to beat Dodd."
"The second one is the person across the door. He borrowed a sum of money from Dodd and has been refusing to pay it back. If you want to find out the amount of the money, that will be the second password."
"The third one is Dodd's female high school classmate. Dodd confessed his love to her in the past, but was rejected. The third password is the gift he gave when he confessed his love."
Ren looked at Weller as if you were kidding me: "Are you sure you want me to ask them these questions?"
This is not coming back to show off, this is coming back to scare people.
Weller couldn't help but wipe his eyes, which made him burst into tears and said, "I can't help it, think about that 100 million."
When Ren was about to talk to Weller about how to ask these questions, someone suddenly knocked on the door. He had no choice but to give up. Weller made a calming gesture to him, and then ran to open the door as a follower.
"Hello, are you Mr. Dodd's neighbor? What can I do for you?"
The person standing outside the door was the neighbor who lived on the right who had asked the question earlier, and was the "holder" of the first password. He was standing outside the door with a smile on his face: "Yes, I and...
..... I have known Mr. Dodd for a long time, and I saw an old acquaintance returning to his hometown in honor, so..."
"Neighbor No. 1" said as he glanced into the room, his smile suddenly became a little unnatural, because he found that Dodd in the room was looking at him with squinted eyes, his cheeks clenched tightly, as if he was grinding his teeth.
His heart skipped a beat, and he thought something was wrong. This bastard seemed to be very vindictive.
At this time, he noticed the situation in the house and thought that Dodd had brought someone with him this time, so he quickly said with a brighter smile: "Is Mr. Dodd planning to live here when he comes back this time? I have been looking at this house for a long time.
If you don’t mind if it’s not cleaned, you can stay at my house.”
Weller, who was still red-eyed, wanted to agree immediately, but thinking that he was now a follower, he turned back to look at Ren and made a calm gesture of approval with his hand.
But Ren's throat was itchy and his eyes were sore due to the dust. He just endured it and didn't move. He almost squinted his eyes and couldn't notice Weller's gestures.
Thinking about what Weller had told him before, to be kind, to smile, but to keep a distance, Ren felt that he knew what to do.
He gritted his teeth and forced out a smile that he thought was very amiable - the amiable neighbor across the way felt his legs weak.
"Thank you for your kindness." Ren said with a smile. Of course, he didn't forget to "keep his distance": "But I won't bother you anymore. It's good for us to live here. Anyway, we can only stay for a day or two at most. I'm very happy."
busy."
"Neighbor No. 1" was so confused that he would rather live in this shabby house full of dust than live in mine. How much he hated me!
He stammered: "Then I'll call some people to help you clean up?"
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to run away, but was stopped by Ren from behind: "Wait a minute!"
The neighbor turned around stiffly, "Is there anything else?"
What Ren was thinking was that the target had been delivered to the door by himself. How long would it take if he didn't take the opportunity to ask for the password? He really didn't want to stay in this terrible place any longer.
So he asked bluntly:
"I don't know if you still remember, but you beat me up before and sent me to the hospital."
