Chapter 8: Blackmail
Although the park was still full of people, it didn't care about a thirteen-year-old child who occupied a bench alone. Closing his eyes, Zhou Yi followed the method in his memory.
When Zhou Yi opened his eyes again, the park was empty. He took out the old-fashioned watch he had taken out of his father's cabinet in his arms, and the hour hand was already pointing to eleven o'clock. Zhou Yi stood up, moved his body, and walked slowly in the direction of the city government. Zhou Yi was not afraid of taking the wrong path, because he knew that the municipal government of the provincial capital only moved to the development zone in 2005, and the municipal government was still on the original Guining Road in 95.
At twelve o'clock, although the lights were still shining in the city, few pedestrians could hardly be seen on the streets. It's not like around 2005, even if you come out of an Internet café at three or four o'clock in the middle of the night on Monday, you can still see a lot of vehicles and pedestrians on the road. Zhou Yi stood outside the back door of the city hall, looking for a safe place to enter the city hall. Choosing a wall covered by the branches of the big trees in the courtyard, Zhou Yi hid in the darkness. A little more, but after the last light on the city government building went out, Zhou Yi quietly flipped in. It's a bit far-fetched to say that he went in, because Zhou Yi jumped directly over the wall.
Climbing from the left side of the building to the sixth floor, Zhou Yi found the mayor's office. Stretching out his gloved right hand, he sucked the internal force against the door lock, only to hear a click, and the door opened. Walking into the mayor's office, after coming to the desk, he took out a piece of torn paper and his own pencil from his pocket, and Zhou Yi wrote crookedly with his left hand: Lord Mayor, you have a lot of things in my hands, the Orchid Garden Community of the Third Construction Company, the overpass of Pearl Square...... I need money now. Give you a day to think about it, and I'll call you tomorrow night. If the police show up, the materials will appear in time for the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. I think that Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee would also like to see this thing.
After writing these few sentences, Zhou Yi wrote down the phone number on the desk, pinched it on the lock of one of the drawers of the desk, and then exited the mayor's office. The two tofu scum projects of the Orchid Garden Community and the Pearl Square overpass are the biggest problems exposed by the mayor of Donglu after being shuanggui, and there was a lot of trouble when Zhou Yi went to college. And the struggle between the secretary of the provincial city party committee and the mayor is heard by almost everyone living in the provincial capital. It's just that this mayor is more hidden, so later the mayor was promoted, but Secretary Zhang, the deputy minister-level hurdle, did not step over, and the edge was over!
Leaving the city government compound, Zhou Yi continued to walk towards the outskirts of the city. After walking not far, Zhou Yi found that there was no one on the road at all, so he unfolded his body and flew towards the outskirts of the city with all his strength. For half an hour, Zhou Yi stood in darkness. Behind him was the faintly visible street lights of the provincial capital, while in front of him it was almost dark, and there were no lights at all. Although he found a cornfield, Zhou Yi sat down cross-legged and carried the exercises again.
It was dawn, Zhou Yi also woke up, stretched his body, Zhou Yi did not find any fatigue, but because he had two exercises last night, he had more energy today. "Let's go shopping again, there's nothing to do anyway. I just took the photograph too. "Monday, who had nothing to do, wandered slowly through the streets of the provincial capital, looking relaxed and comfortable.
Zhou Yi was comfortable, and the mayor of Donglu, who went to work in the morning, was frightened by a note in the document, his face turned pale and he was in a cold sweat. Trembling and hiding the note, the mayor hurriedly took out the key to open the drawer, but as soon as his left hand touched the iron lock on the drawer, he froze again. One side of an iron lock that locked the drawer was pinched into a flat piece. The lock was opened, and the mayor hurriedly pinched a dozen bank cards in his hand that were clipped to a notebook. But the hand that had just clenched was suddenly let go, and the bank card fell in the drawer in a mess. Closing the drawer, the mayor frowned and kept walking around his office.
However, let him dominate the officialdom and be full of wit, he couldn't imagine that this would be a twelve-year-old child's coercion. What he thinks of the most is Secretary Zhang's people or some officials who are jealous of him. But no matter what he thought, he didn't even have the slightest idea of calling the police. His mind was full of how to dig out this person, how to retaliate, how to humiliate. The mayor was furious, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to blow the head of the man who threatened him with a gun. However, the mayor, who calmed down, also thought that if this matter was not handled well, it would be a catastrophe. No matter who the other person is, contact them first.
Zhou Yi didn't spend a day in the provincial capital, just walked around for a morning, and in the afternoon, he spent an afternoon in the Xinghua Park in the provincial capital. When it got dark, Zhou Yi found a secluded phone booth and dialed the mayor's office.
"Hey!" replied in a low voice.
Zhou Yi clenched his throat and said in a sharp and feminine voice: "It's the mayor, right? I believe you have seen my message to you, how are you thinking about it? I only need 10 million!"
"How did I give it to you?"
For the sake of your joyful feelings, I will send you a sentence: "Pay attention to the number 5." Okay, tonight at twelve o'clock, bring 10 million cash to the alley behind the women's market. I'll be waiting for you there. Be careful, if I find out that a police officer is present, you will regret your stupid behavior!" After saying that, Zhou Yi hung up the phone with a snap, quickly left the phone booth, and left in the opposite direction of the women's market.
When Zhou Yi left the phone booth, the mayor in the mayor's office slammed the table angrily. However, after calming down, he still took the phone and dialed his woman's number.
"Are you ready for what I asked you to prepare this afternoon?"
"It's all done!"
"Send it to me in the evening. ”
"What are you going to do with all this money?"
"Don't talk nonsense......"
The mayor hung up the phone, very irritable. Ten million is only one-third of the amount of money he has embezzled in the past few years. However, taking out so much money at once, his heart was still quite painful. However, he thought that if the things in the hands of this mysterious person really reached the hands of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection or Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee, his career would really be over. He is only 49 years old this year, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in his career. He didn't want to ruin his bright future by his momentary intolerance. Power and money, power is still more attractive to men.
All day, the mayor had thought about all his opponents, but he could not think of a political opponent who would use such a move against him. Secretary Zhang: No way. Although the mayor and Secretary Zhang have been fighting, the mayor understands Secretary Zhang, and this person will not do such a thing. It's not like Minister Liu from the Organization Department, although this person is not at odds with me, but he has no dark forces under him...... The mayor thought about it for a long time, but he never imagined that this was the work of a twelve-year-old child. And Monday's high-pitched, feminine voice made the mayor think that it was an adult who threatened him.
Huafu Shopping Plaza was one of the most prosperous places in the provincial capital in the 90s, and it was not until 2000 that it was replaced by the newly built Wal-Mart Plaza and the French-built Carrefour Plaza. Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Yi wandered to Huafu Plaza. In front of Huafu Plaza, there are many people coming in and out, but none of them know each other.
"Mom, Mom, it's him, it's him who saved my sister......" A twelve-year-old innocent girl in front of Huafu Square shouted to a woman in her forties beside her.
"Which?" asked the woman, surprised.
"That, the boy sitting on the bench. The little girl pointed to Zhou Yi, who was sitting on a bench in the square, and said a little happily.
"Let's go and say hello. Anyway, people saved your sister too. After the woman finished speaking, she led the little girl beside her to the contemplative Monday.
Zhou Yi noticed that someone had noticed him for the first time, so he raised his head and saw a mother and daughter walking towards him with a smile. I don't know the adult Zhou Yi, but the little girl who followed the adult Zhou Yi was very impressed. It was the innocent and extremely touching little girl she met in a car accident on the way to the provincial city on Monday, and she still had red and swollen marks on her forehead.
"...... you?" asked Monday first.
"This classmate, I am Xu Li, and this is my youngest daughter Bingbing. Do you remember the girl you rescued on the road yesterday? That's my eldest daughter. If it weren't for your timely action, maybe my eldest daughter would have ...... Thank you so much. Hey, this classmate, what's your name?" Xu Li not only took the lead in introducing herself, but also thanked Monday for her help by the way.
"Auntie, my name is Zhou Yi, you can call me Xiao'an. You don't have to thank me, and I didn't help much. That's right, your ...... How's your eldest daughter doing?"
"She is now at the Provincial People's Hospital. The doctor said that there was no big problem, but that he had lost too much blood and was relatively weak. I guess I'll be able to go home tomorrow to recuperate. ”
"That's good. Auntie, are you here to buy something?"
"Ahh yes! I brought Bingbing to buy some nutrition for her sister. By the way, Xiao'an, are you free? We would like to treat you to a meal and thank you for saving my daughter's life. ”
"Auntie, don't you need it? Don't be so polite. I'm going to my cousin's house in a while......" Zhou Yi politely excused himself. Actually, he really wanted to agree, because he wanted to be very close to the little girl Bingbing next to Xu Li. During the conversation with Xu Li, most of his eyes were on Bingbing's body. What excited him was that the little girl Bingbing kept smiling at him, although she didn't speak, but that kind of expression made Zhou Yi very useful. However, he didn't want to involve too many people until it worked out.
"That'...... When are you free, come to my house, and I'll cook you some special dishes. "Xu Li is obviously a passionate person.
"Auntie, I'm really embarrassed that you're so polite. Then tomorrow night I will definitely go over to disturb my aunt and taste the good dishes made by my aunt. ”
"Alright, that's it. By the way, Bingbing wrote our address and phone number to your brother Xiao'an. ”
"Hey!" Bingbing said crisply, and the sound was like a yellow bird coming out of the valley, which was very good.
Bingbing took out a paper and pen from his backpack, wrote down a line of words and a few numbers very seriously, stretched out his tender white fingers and handed them to Zhou Yi.
"Well, thank you, Auntie. See you tomorrow. Zhou Yi put away the paper handed over by Bingbing and said with a smile on his face.
Xu Li's mother and daughter said goodbye to Zhou Yi, and walked into Huafu Shopping Center arm in arm. As he walked, he whispered over and over again: "This kid is good, and he seems to be quite sincere. ”
"It's just not too good-looking. ”
"You girl, how can you judge people by their appearance?"
"That's what it was!"
"Yes, yes...... Although this kid is not handsome. But girl, don't you see, this kid is not simple. ”
"Isn't it easy?
"This kid is about your age at most, but it's hard to see. Where is not simple, I haven't seen it yet. However, this kid is a bit mysterious!"
"Mysterious? ”
"Who are your mother, who am I? The deputy director of the first section of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has seen all kinds of people. What kind of person is it, your mother and I will take a few looks. ”
…………
Xu Li's mother and daughter left, Zhou Yi looked at the time, it was more than eight o'clock in the evening, and she was hungry. found a small restaurant, and Zhou Yi slowly wasted more than an hour on eating. After dinner, Zhou Yi found a department store and spent nearly 100 yuan to buy a small black suitcase. Dragging his suitcase, Monday made a big circle to the back of the Ladies Market. After looking around a few times, seeing that there were not many pedestrians, he pulled out the two straps used to bind the luggage in the suitcase, tied the whole box to his back, and then flew up to a big tree, and with the help of the cover of the big tree, climbed a four-story building again. Flying over two buildings, Zhou Yi stood on the roof of a building on the side of Women's Street. After observing left and right for half an hour, Zhou Yi didn't find anything wrong, no plainclothes, and no suspicious characters shaking.
Seeing that the situation was moving in his ideal direction, Monday began to look for a place where he could safely place his boxes. Three more buildings were crossed to the left, and Zhou Yi finally found a good place. This is a cement hut where the city's power transformer is placed.
I found a place where the mayor could put the box, so I sat on the roof of the building at the entrance of the women's market and began to wait quietly. The wait is long, but the results of the wait are gratifying. It's twelve o'clock, and the women's market is already empty. At this time, a car stopped at the intersection of the women's market on time. After a closer look on Monday, there was no one else, only the mayor himself drove over, and there was no one to see the person under surveillance.
As soon as the mayor stepped out of the car, a pebble wrapped in a note appeared at his feet. The mayor picked it up, looked at the contents of the note, picked up a black box in the car, and walked towards the women's market. The mayor did not stop until he walked to the small house of the transformer. No sooner had he stopped than another stone wrapped in a note flew at his feet. Picking up the note again and looking at it, the mayor threw the box in his hand on the top of the room with all his might, then turned his head and waited quietly.
The mayor waited for a while, and noticed that there was not even a trace of movement behind him, and turned his head very strangely to look, only to find that the box that could still be seen just now had disappeared. The mayor was stunned for a moment, then panicked again, and the box disappeared, but what he wanted did not appear. After a few laps in the same place, the mayor was so angry that he wanted to jump up and curse.
The moment the mayor turned around, Zhou Yi used his internal force, unfolded his body, flew over the house, leaned over to pick up the box, and landed on the building on the other side of the women's street again with a light touch on the edge of the house. After checking the contents of the box, everything was normal, Zhou Yi smiled. However, when he turned around and saw the mayor restlessly spinning back and forth in circles, he shot the stone in his hand again.
When the mayor saw another stone falling, he hurriedly opened it, and then quickly turned around and walked back to the car. As soon as the mayor walked to the car, he noticed two document bags under the car. He opened it and saw that one of the documents contained some burnt ashes, and he rubbed his fingers carefully to find that it was supposed to be the ashes of the burned photograph. The other bag contained some burnt paper. Although the mayor didn't know whether these things were real or fake, he was still a lot more relieved when he saw these ashes
。
"Bang" was another pebble, and the mayor hurriedly opened it to take a look, only to see that it was written: "Lord Mayor, don't worry, the burned document is real." Finally, I would like to give you another word: the person who feels the most trusted may not really be the most trustworthy. ”
The mayor tore up the note, got into the car, and thought quietly. He was thinking about the two words that the other party had said to him, one was the number "5", and the other was the one he had just seen. The number "5", he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand it. However, the sentence just now set off monstrous waves in his heart. Who is the most trusted person? The mayor knows very well in his heart that Cheng Hua, the current member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal CPC Committee and executive vice mayor. Is this person really unreliable?
