Chapter 110: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

"Second uncle!" Tao Baihe said angrily, "You have started conspiracy theories again!" She cast an apologetic look at Wan Guohou, "My second uncle encountered a car explosion during a certain mission, although it was an accident, but it was indeed a work injury, not something destined. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wan Guohou's gaze moved to Tao Wutian's thigh, and through the thin blanket on it, he could tell that it was empty underneath, and there were no calves. "I'm sorry. ”

Tao Wutian looked directly at Wan Guohou, "Your eyes are actually green." ”

Wan Guohou was slightly stunned and did not speak.

Tao Baihe was extremely embarrassed, she knew that Tao Wutian had become stranger after the accident, but she didn't expect Tao Wutian to be so unkind to Wanguo Hou, "Second uncle, Hou Ye is British." ”

Tao Wutian looked at Wan Guohou suspiciously, and after a long while, he muttered to himself: "Like, it's too similar......"

Tao Baihe couldn't cry or laugh, "Are you saying that he looks like a foreigner? Second uncle, you haven't woken up yet, have you? Hou Ye was originally a foreigner, haha." ”

When Wan Guohou heard Tao Wutian's words, the smile on his face suddenly froze, but he reacted quickly and immediately blinked easily, "Mrs. Nan, it's not very hot today, do you want to take Uncle Tian out for a walk?"

Tao Baihe was still hesitating, and Tao Wutian had already put down the apple and picked up his sunglasses from the coffee table. He slid his wheelchair and said, "Let's go." ”

The three of them went out the door. Tao Baihe pushed Tao Wutian, and Wan Guohou followed. For a while, no one spoke, Tao Wutian was thinking about his thoughts, Tao Baihe was in a daze, and Wan Guohou fell into memories.

Wan Guohou clearly remembers that on Chinese New Year's Eve in 2003, Tao Baihe, accompanied by Tao Wutian, went to visit him at Yinyang Pass. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, mixed with anger, pain, and resentment, was the most bitter meal he had ever eaten, and the button Tao Baihe gave him almost killed him.

He still remembered how he begged Tao Wutian for help, and he didn't forget Tao Baihe's evasive and guilty eyes. Then, he remembered the situation that Dusk had recounted, and his father's tragic death was definitely related to Tao Wutian. When he thought of this, Wan Guohou's eyes became even deeper and colder, but a smile full of love appeared on his face, "Uncle Tian, can you tell me the story of being a criminal policeman?" ”

The three of them just got out of the elevator and could see the garden. Wan Guohou wanted to help push the wheelchair, but Tao Baihe declined his kindness.

Tao Wutian did not immediately reply to Wan Guohou's request, and he did not care about the polite prevarication between Wan Guohou and Tao Baihe, he had been tilting his head since he went out, as if he was thinking about a difficult problem comparable to Goldbach's conjecture.

Just as Tao Baihe was thinking about how to deal with Wan Guohou's curiosity, Tao Wutian suddenly spoke, "There are three brothers in my family, and I am the second. My eldest brother is ten years older than me, and I am six years older than my younger brother. ”

Tao Baihe was taken aback, she had never heard Tao unable to take the initiative to tell the story about the "third uncle" who died, in her memory, Tao could not answer her question only once, and only said lightly "The third child died in an accident". At this moment, Tao Wutian talked about the past lightly in front of a foreigner he met for the first time. She was a little shocked, but more uneasy, she had a faint feeling that Tao Wutian didn't hate Wan Guohou.

"When I was a child, our family was very poor, how poor was it?" Tao Wutian suddenly laughed, "My parents are not in good health, my eldest brother dropped out of school early to go to work, and I went to the army." The third child in the family has good grades and can read the roll call. But I am still poor, every time I go home to visit relatives, when I leave, there is only the outermost military uniform on my body, and the autumn clothes and pants, vests, pants, and socks are all left at home. ”

"Second uncle......" Tao Baihe was reluctant to hear this, although it was the first time she had heard it, "Why are you talking about this, how boring." ”

"I think it's interesting, please continue. Wan Guohou said with a smile.

"The eldest brother has a good brain, he has found a way out, and he is a helper in the amber shop, he is very clever, and he learns things quickly, and the owner likes him. Tao Wutian's expression became a little softer, "It was 1977, and the owner was also a young man, not a few years older than me. The eldest brother treats others sincerely, and the owner also treats the eldest brother as his own. ”

1977! Wan Guohou's mind thundered, and he immediately remembered the group photo he had seen in Tao Fufu's basement in September 2002, in which the handsome mixed-race man as handsome as a Hollywood movie star was his real father. Wan Guohou felt a surge of qi and blood, and he had to secretly hold his breath before he gradually calmed down.

"Dad learned the skills of running an amber shop in that shop, right?" Tao Baihe was also attracted by Tao Wutian's narration, "There was no me at that time." ”

"Of course not you. Tao Wutian replied, "The eldest brother basically stayed with the owner all day in those two years, where did he have time to fall in love? Later, it was the father of the owner who introduced a girl, and the eldest brother began to have the idea of starting a family." ”

Wan Guohou's heart was mixed, "It seems that Mrs. Nan's father was very diligent when he was young. ”

"Later, the eldest brother got married, and the third child was also in junior high school at that time. Tao Wutian sighed, "But my parents passed away one after another. Our family didn't have a house, and the house we lived in was a distant relative of my father. As soon as my parents left, they were reluctant to let us stay there. I'm good to say, I usually live in the army, but it's difficult for my eldest brother. In order to help my parents treat their illness, the money I earned with my eldest brother was basically put in, and I still owed a lot of foreign debts. The eldest brother was reluctant to rent a house, so he had no choice but to take his sister-in-law and the third child and live in the owner's store. ”

"Is the store that big, can it accommodate so many people?" Tao Baihe asked in surprise.

"There is a warehouse behind the store, which is quite large, and there is no problem for a few people. Tao Wutian replied, "After a while, my sister-in-law became pregnant, and the owner felt that it was not good for the pregnant woman to continue to live in the warehouse, so he paid for the eldest brother to rent a house outside." Bai He, you were born in a rental house. ”

Tao Baihe stuck out his tongue, this kind of girlish little action made Wan Guohou a little trance, but he didn't miss the past, he clearly knew that things were wrong now, and he was no longer a teenager who couldn't sleep at night because of a woman's smile.

"Bai He, are you wondering, why am I talking about these old things?" Tao Wutian stared at a sprinkler in the garden, his gaze sharp. Without waiting for Tao Baihe to answer, he continued to speak to himself, "Because I have to answer the question asked by this gentleman about me being a criminal policeman." ”

"Feel free to do so, though I do be curious. Wan Guohou replied. At this time, he noticed that Tao Wutian had quietly dropped his sunglasses on the grass near the sprinkler head. He glanced at Tao Baihe, and saw that the latter was unaware, so he remained silent.

"In January 1985, I left the army and hesitated for a long time about what to do. But in March, something happened, and after that, I made up my mind to become a criminal policeman. Tao Wutian unconsciously grabbed the blanket, as if to restrain his emotions.

"There was once a tragedy in Hancheng, Bai He, have you heard of it?"

"I know, but I was so young, four years old, I can't remember. Tao Baihe replied.

"In that case, there were too many people who died, including the whole family of the eldest brother's family, as well as the relatives of the owner, as well as ...... Third. He was only nineteen years old and was preparing for university. ”

"It turns out that the third uncle had an accident in this matter, no wonder my dad refuses to say it every time. Tao Baihe suddenly realized, "It's a pity that I don't remember the third uncle very much." ”

"Have you caught the murderer?" Wan Guohou's expression was very concerned.

Tao Wutian shook his head, "It was because of this incident that I made up my mind to join the criminal police team. But there are too many clues and too messy, and some even point to the neon people, and the power in the bureau is very limited, and in the end it becomes an unsolved case, and it is over. ”

"That's not right. Tao Baihe suddenly reacted, "Second uncle, didn't you say that my parents and third uncle moved out at that time and didn't live in the owner's warehouse, so how could the third uncle have an accident with the owner?"

"I don't know. Tao Wutian was silent for a while, and then gave an answer that disappointed Tao Baihe. Wan Guohou watched coldly as his fingers slowly loosened, and suddenly came to a conclusion in his heart: he was lying.

"That's right. Then I'll ask my dad again when I have time. Tao Baihe slowly pushed Tao Wutian's wheelchair, and the three of them came to a fork in the garden, "The sun actually came out, I thought it would rain today." She looked around, "Second uncle, this place is just facing the sun, do you want to stay here, or go to the other side?"

"Here it is. Tao Wutian narrowed his eyes, "Everything grows on the sun, and it's good for me to bask in the sun." He suddenly turned his head to Tao Baihe and said, "Baihe, my sunglasses seem to have fallen off." ”

"Huh, are you sure you brought it out?"

"Sure. ”

"Where did you fall, do you remember?" Tao Baihe asked helplessly.

Tao Wutian thought for a while, "It seems to have fallen near a water jet, which is where we parked before." You're going to help me find it, okay?"

"Then, Master Hou, please help me take care of my second uncle. ”

Looking at Tao Baihe who was far away, Wan Guohou laughed in his heart, in the end, he was an old criminal policeman, and he was so familiar with the tiger from the mountain.

He walked up to Tao Wutian, "Uncle Tian, do you have anything to tell me?"

Tao Wutian stared at him for a few seconds before he said, "Bai He usually comes to see me on Wednesdays and weekends. ”

Wan Guohou comprehended, he touched his beard, "Then, I will definitely come to visit you again another day." ”

"You come alone, don't bring Yu Jingbo. ”

"Don't worry. ”

"You come closer. Tao Wutian's words made Wan Guohou a little puzzled, but he still bent down obediently and approached Tao Wutian.

Tao Wutian coldly stretched out his hand and pinched Wan Guohou's face fiercely, the latter was startled and immediately took two steps back.

"What are you doing here?" Wan Guohou asked in surprise, he rubbed his face, thinking that the old fellow had quite a lot of strength.

"I see if you're wearing a mask or makeup or something. Tao Wutian's answer made Wan Guohou cry and laugh.

At this time, Tao Baihe hurried over with Tao Wutian's sunglasses, "Second uncle, you are really lost, these sunglasses are very expensive, they are not sold in China, where can I get you a pair if you lose them?"

At this time, Wan Guohou's mobile phone suddenly rang, and he took it out and saw that it was Yu Jingbo.

"Mrs. Nan, Uncle Tian, I'm going to be out of company. Wan Guohou politely said goodbye to the two, "Meet again another day." ”

"Okay, goodbye Master Hou! Say hello to Manager Yue for me!" Tao Baihe chuckled humorously.

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, then bowed slightly, nodded at Tao Wutian, and then turned to leave.

"Dean Yu, are you in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" Wan Guohou said as he walked.

"Master Hou, I specially prepared a dinner party for you, and my wife is also here, look, do you want to ......"

Wan Guohou interrupted the other party, "It just so happens that I wanted to find you just now." I don't have to do it today, I still have something to do, and my driver should have arrived. ”

Yu Jingbo on the other end of the phone hurriedly said, "That's it...... Then I'll send you, please wait a little longer. ”

"Well, I'm near the reception in the lobby. ”

After hanging up the phone, Wan Guohou dialed another number, "You come here now, just go to the door." ”

When Wan Guohou walked through the garden and into the hall, Yu Jingbo and Sui Qingliu were already waiting for him. When the couple saw Wan Guohou, they hurriedly beckoned to him.

"Master Hou is really busy. Yu Jingbo's carefully prepared dinner party was pushed away by Wan Guohou, and he complained a little in his heart.

"I'm sorry, but there's something going on today. Wan Guohou said apologetically, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a bright rose red. "It's interesting. He thought to himself.

"Master Hou, you haven't left yet, Liu Liu is also there. Tao Baihe walked over with a smile and gave Sui Qingliu a warm hug, "Is it better? I haven't seen you post on Moments in the past two days." ”

"It's better. Sui Qingliu said gratefully, "Are you coming to see your uncle today?"

"yes, aren't you going home? Tao Baihe looked at Wan Guohou, and suddenly his eyes rolled, "Master Hou, is it convenient for you to take me for a ride? I didn't drive out today." ”

"Absolutely. I'm happy to work for beautiful women. Wan Guohou said with a smile.

"Master Hou, I am very grateful for your willingness to appreciate the light today. But I still have to be cheeky to say, I hope you will come often, there are many interesting places in the good house that you have not seen, and I assure you, you will not be bored here!" Yu Jingbo said eagerly.

"If I had time, I would come often. Wan Guohou is still the same cold and polite look.

At this time, Sui Qingliu's mobile phone rang, and after reading the message, her face suddenly changed. She didn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly said to Wan Guohou: "Master Hou, please wait a moment, I have something to ask Dean Yu." ”

Wan Guohou noticed that Sui Qingliu did not use words like "my husband", but he only raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
