This farmhouse called "Yixiang Garden" is built in a large field, the fence village will enclose four or five bungalows in a circle, the front and back of the house deliberately reclaimed a few fields, planted some vegetables and fruits, there is a small river behind it is not particularly spacious, the tall reeds sway with the wind, quite a bit of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain" meaning.

But at the moment I was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery here, but like a thief slowly into the farmhouse, a few free-range hens in the small yard "coo" back and forth, at the gate a woman with a dustpan to feed the chickens coughed twice and asked me, "Who are you looking for?"

I pressed the brim of my hat down and said in a deliberately rough voice, "I want to book a room." ”

The woman continued to sprinkle grain on the ground to feed the chickens, smiled apologetically and said, "Our store was chartered today, I'm sorry." ”

I quickly turned my gaze and glanced at the spacious courtyard and smiled, "Oh, can I go to the toilet then?"

The people in the village were more honest, and the women didn't think much of it, but pointed to the brick open-air toilet by the wall and said, "The corner on the far right." ”

"Thank you. I pressed the brim down again and quickly headed into the corner.

There are three cars parked in the yard at the moment, two Volkswagen, a domestic off-road, a few dressed very foreign, at a glance, the children of the children in the city are running around the car and jumping over, from a room from time to time there are laughter, vaguely see several adults, but there is no Xia Dongliu's figure, I estimate that these are Xia Dongliu's family.

After a cursory glance at the general terrain, I quietly exited the farmhouse, went around to the small river behind the house, found a small man with a back to sit down and gasped, from entering the house to coming out, a total of less than five minutes, my back and head were completely soaked with sweat, I was so nervous, I have never done such a thing when I was so big.

I squatted by the river and picked up a pool of water and rubbed my face, forcing myself to calm down, at this time the mobile phone in my pocket rang suddenly, I shuddered in fright, and looked at Wen Ping's number, I hurriedly picked it up.

Wen Ping asked in a flat voice, "Have you arrived at the place?"

I replied in a suppressed voice: "I arrived, but I didn't see Xia Dongliu." ”

Wen Ping coughed twice and said, "He may not have passed yet, so wait patiently." ”

"Wen. Uncle Wen.." I hesitated to call him.

Wen Ping responded: "Is there something wrong?"

I swallowed the words that had already come to my lips: "Forget it, it's okay. ”

Wen Ping was like a demon who could understand people's hearts, and said flutteringly: "The vacant land at the entrance of the street of the city that never sleeps, I have arranged for someone to do it, an old friend of mine is now the person in charge of your Linxian Civil Affairs Bureau, and I chatted with him just now, he said that there is a lack of a gatekeeper at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the official establishment, the salary is not bad, including five insurances and one housing fund, I will ask people to call your street management committee and arrange for your father to go to work." ”

My heart tightened, and I hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Wen." ”

Wen Ping smiled as if he was chattering: "I like obedient children with few words, and you don't need to open your mouth for many things." ”

I replied dryly: "Okay, I know... Got it. ”

Hanging up the phone, I stared at the mirror-like river in a daze, smiling bitterly and muttering to myself, now I am completely on the big boat of Wenping.

From morning to evening, I never ate a sip or drank a sip of water, and sat by the river in a daze like a wooden stake.

It wasn't until it was just dark that I quietly moved back to the place at the entrance of the farmhouse, and after waiting for more than half an hour, a black Toyota "Camry" drove into the farmhouse, Xia Dongliu and a plainly dressed woman, and two eight or nine-year-old boys got out of the car, presumably his wife and children.

As soon as the car drove into the yard, the men and women in the house all smiled and greeted them.

A middle-aged man who looked very similar to Xia Dongliu greeted at the top of his voice: "Hold up the table and serve the food." ”

The waiters in the two farmhouses hurriedly set up a few square tables in the courtyard, a group of people surrounded Xia Dongliu on the table, sitting on the main seat was an old man about sixty or seventy years old, Xia Dongliu sat next to him, and after he took a seat, the rest of the people took the table in turn, which is enough to prove Xia Dongliu's status in the family.

Xia Dongliu took out a red envelope from his pocket and pushed it to the old man with a smile: "Dad, happy birthday, I don't know what to buy for you, give you 5,000 yuan." ”

"Dongliu is really sensible. ”

"It's not, both capable and filial. ”

A table of people brushed the cups to toast Xia Dongliu, as if forgetting that the old man on the main seat was the right corner today, Xia Dongliu clinked glasses one by one proudly, I sighed and shook my head speechlessly.

Disliking the poor and respecting the rich has always been the "traditional virtue" of Chinese civilization, as the so-called: the poor no one asks on the side of the road, and the rich are looking for it in the mountains.

The family ate and drank and chatted, and I squatted in the field and stared.

At this time, the mobile phone in my pocket rang suddenly, so frightened that I hurriedly picked it up, and Wen Ping's voice immediately came: "He's arrived, right?"

I cautiously glanced at the small courtyard, but no one noticed the loud voices of the people talking and drinking, so I responded with palpitations: "Just arrived." ”

Wen Ping continued: "Later, I'll send you something on WeChat, after you solve Xia Dongliu, show it to his wife, just say that Xia Dongliu is greedy for 40 million, and his wife knows how to solve the rest of the things, understand?"

"After solving Xia Dongliu, you still let me meet his wife?" my voice involuntarily raised.

The old god Wen Ping said softly: "It's good for you and me to do this, someone died inexplicably, how could the police not investigate, so be it." ”

Less than two minutes after hanging up the phone, Wen Ping sent me a few pictures, the picture is a bed photo of Xia Dongliu and several different women, and there is a picture at the end of which is a bank card number and password.

I gasped, this Wen Ping is really terrible, others are in the city, but they can know Xia Dongliu's movements at any time, the most important thing is that he probably has the heart to kill Xia Dongliu for a long time, otherwise these photos would not have appeared so appropriately.

In the small courtyard, there is still a happy and peaceful picture, Xia Dongliu seems to have drunk a lot, his face is red and he has begun to talk nonsense, his wife is sitting next to him indifferently, bowing her head and playing with her mobile phone, which looks particularly out of place, I licked my mouth, lit a cigarette and took a big gulp.

Time passed minute by minute, almost more than an hour or so, the banquet began to end, Xia Dongliu got up first, and walked crookedly in the direction of the toilet, I glanced at the dozen cigarette butts at my feet, took a deep breath, dialed his mobile phone number, and witnessed him take out his mobile phone and pick it up: "Who?"

I pinched my nose and whispered, "Wen Ping asked me to contact you." ”

Xia Dongliu stood in place all of a sudden, looked back and forth a few times with some restraint, and then went around to a bungalow next to him, and after locking the door, he gasped and spoke: "What instructions does Director Wen have?"

I knowingly asked, "He asked me to give you something, where are you?"

He replied without any doubt: "I am in a farmhouse called Yixiangyuan in the suburbs, and they are all from my family, so you can just come over." ”

"Okay, I'll call you when I get there. I neatly put down my phone, glanced at the small courtyard again, stood on tiptoe, and was just about to leave, when I looked at the cigarette butts all over the ground, I picked them up one by one and stuffed them into my pocket, and then went around to the river behind the house, and pulled my face with cold water again.

A gust of wind blew slowly, I couldn't help but shudder, I asked myself again in my heart, do I really want to kill Xia Dongliu? Although because of Yang Chen and Qian Long's incident, I am extremely disgusted with this middle-aged beast, but if it really makes me die, I am still a little ruthless.

After more than ten minutes, the mobile phone in my pocket rang, it was Xia Dongliu calling, and he seemed to be more anxious than me: "Have you arrived?"

"I.." I hesitated for a moment and then said, "Here, I'm by the river behind the farmhouse, come here." ”

"Just wait. Xia Dongliu hung up the phone in a hurry.

About half a minute or so, there was a sound of rustling and trampling grass behind me, followed by a snoring man walking up to me and asking uncertainly, "Are you Director Wen's person?"

"Hmm. I pressed the brim of my hat down, looked down at his shadow and said, "Give me your phone first, I don't want our conversation to be recorded." ”

"Not really. He smiled, took out a mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to me, and said happily: "I have been a driver for him for eight or nine years, and the relationship is beyond your imagination.

I was stunned, took his mobile phone and put it in my pocket, and slowly touched the back of my waist with one hand...
