Chapter 13: Good and Evil
One of the reasons evil is everywhere is that it tends to come in the form of good – Brodsky
Liu Yusheng has been in a good mood these days, because things are going well in the salt mine. Experts from the ministry had already gone to the scene, and it was estimated that there were no major problems, and even in the afternoon a deputy director of the hall gave a high evaluation of his work.
The pressure on this scientific expedition was very great, first of all, the disappearance of personnel and a large loss of property, but nothing was found. The news that Liu Yusheng brought back changed everything, as long as the result is perfect, then sometimes the process is not so important.
Liu Yusheng thought of the more or less hints in his words when the deputy director talked to him in the afternoon, and he felt that although he almost died in the big sandstorm, everything was worth it.
When he thought of the sandstorm, he couldn't help but think of Xiao He, he didn't understand that he only saw Wang Youmu that day, and didn't see Xiao He at all, could it be that he was dead? But then he took Li Futian and them to the small pond, and he didn't see any graves or anything around, where did Xiao He go?
Wang Youmu did not return to the small pond with him that day, Li Futian sent two people and a car, and asked them to follow Wang Youmu, saying that he was going to return the camel that he had lent him.
After I went back the next day, I reported to the leaders who came to the hall, and we had dinner together to thank Li Futian for their life-saving grace. At the dinner table, Li Futian once said that Wang Youmu was injured, and although it had been treated in the county hospital, because of the limited medical conditions, Wang Youmu still needed to be carefully examined when he returned to W City. But now that a day has passed, Wang Youmu should also be in the guest house, and he should live with him.
Thinking of this, Liu Yusheng walked out of the door and came to the service desk on the first floor.
"Hello comrade, I'm from the Mining Bureau of W City, may I ask my colleague with me, a person named Wang Youmu who lives here?" asked Liu Yusheng to a girl who looked to be in her twenties sitting at the service desk.
"Yes, the two of you originally lived in the same room, but he said that he was snoring when he slew, and he was afraid that it would affect your rest, so he asked himself to sleep in a room alone. The little girl replied.
"Oh, what room is he in, is he there?"
"Room 203, he's here, I just watched him come back. ”
"Okay, thank you!" Liu Yusheng finished speaking, and went upstairs to his room.
Sitting in the room, Liu Yusheng thought about it wrong, although he and Wang Youmu were in the same unit, they had met a few times, but there was really no intersection, although he was just a small deputy section chief, but he didn't have any common language with Wang Youmu, a temporary worker, he heard the name Wang Youmu a colleague in the office, talking about Wang Youmu and his lover.
I heard that it seems that his lover's family composition is not good, and he does not agree to their marriage, his lover and his family fell out and finally married Wang Youmu, how specifically he was not interested in knowing, Wang Youmu and himself can be said to be strangers, how can I say that I am afraid of him snoring?
It seems that he is avoiding me, thinking of this, Liu Yusheng suddenly felt that things were not so simple, he suddenly found that he had forgotten one of the most critical questions, how did Xiao He die, when he gave a brief report to the leaders in the hall, he said that Xiao He sacrificed, Wang Youmu was missing, and then he left alone, desperately trying to send the news of the salt mine.
Thinking of this, Liu Yusheng felt frightened, no, he had to talk to Wang Youmu, he wanted to know Xiao He's situation, otherwise he felt that this was a big hidden danger, and he didn't want any changes to affect his future development.
Liu Yusheng stood up and immediately went out and walked towards room 203, 203 was in the innermost right-hand room of the corridor on the second floor, he knocked on the door,
"Who?" came Wang Youmu's familiar and unfamiliar voice from the room.
"Youmu, it's me, Liu Yusheng!" Liu Yusheng replied.
The door opened, and Wang Youmu appeared in front of him.
"Section Chief Liu, is there something wrong?" asked Wang Youmu in a cold tone.
"Why don't you let the door in!" Liu Yusheng said with a smile.
Wang Youmu seemed to be stunned when he heard Liu Yusheng's answer, and then turned around and walked to the bed side of the room and sat down.
Liu Yusheng entered the door and sat on a chair, took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Youmu.
"I can't get used to your cigarettes, I smoke this. As he spoke, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and took out one and lit it himself.
Liu Yusheng was embarrassed to withdraw his hand, lit a cigarette himself, and said
"I've been busy these days and haven't cared about you, I heard that you have a serious injury on your head, and when you go back, you come to me, and I support a classmate in the Great Northwest, working in W City Medical College, I'll help you say it, when the time comes, you go to him to check it well, you are still young and don't leave any sequelae." ”
"No, it's not a big deal, I know that. ”
"That's not good, didn't you yourself say that you weren't a doctor?
Suddenly, both of them felt that this conversation was so familiar, wasn't it Wang Youmu who told Liu Yusheng that Xiao He was either cold or poisoned, didn't he almost say that he was not a doctor at that time?
"Hey, just listen to me, the wound on the head is sloppy. In any case, we have also suffered together, so don't be so angry. Liu Yusheng first broke the awkward atmosphere and said.
Wang Youmu listened to this, and suddenly raised his head and stared at Liu Yusheng with two eyes. Liu Yusheng looked at Wang Youmu staring at him, and couldn't help but panic for a while, and hurriedly picked up a cigarette and smoked it and said
"Ariki, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that? ”
Wang Youmu just looked at Liu Yusheng like this, didn't say a word, lowered his head and took a puff after a while, and continued to be silent.
Liu Yusheng can now be sure that there is definitely a problem here, and he vaguely feels that it should be related to Xiao He, but he knows that he can't open his mouth to ask Xiao He about it first, otherwise he can't justify himself, so he can only wait, wait for Wang Youmu to tell the situation first, so that he can plan and then act.
"Youmu, are you okay, is there something wrong? If you have something, you can say it, I remember I told you, and when you go back, you will be on me. Liu Yusheng said.
Wang Youmu raised his head again, stared at Liu Yusheng as he did just now, and spoke
"Section Chief Liu, let's not talk about the matter of turning positive, I can only ask you, how did Xiao He die?"
"Alas, the morning after you left, Xiao He died, I guess it should be caused by poisoning, I waited for you there for another day, and you didn't come back, I thought about breaking through it myself, but I encountered a big sandstorm, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to be saved by the comrades of the Petroleum Bureau. Liu Yusheng said.
"You TMD nonsense, why did you leave Xiao He and leave by yourself. Wang Youmu stood up suddenly and said excitedly.
"Comrade Wang Youmu, please pay attention to the way you speak, how do you know that I left Xiao He and ran away by myself, I am gone, it was also after Comrade Xiao He died, why do you say that I left Comrade Xiao He. Liu Yusheng also stood up angrily and responded.
"Xiao He sacrificed first and then you left, do you mean this?" Wang Youmu said
"That's right, if Comrade Xiao He hadn't sacrificed, how could I leave him alone, would I still be a human being like that?"
Liu Yusheng replied.
"Hehe! Section Chief Liu, what do you look at here?" said Liu Yusheng and picked up a kettle from the table.
"What is this? What do you mean, isn't this just a kettle?"
"Look what's inside. ”
Liu Yusheng unscrewed the lid of the kettle, and then saw something gray inside. Liu Yusheng looked up at Wang Youmu and asked
"What is this?"
"This is Xiao He's ashes. ”
Hearing this answer, Liu Yusheng felt that his legs seemed to be trembling constantly, and the hand holding the kettle didn't seem to have any strength, and the kettle was about to fall to the ground at any time, and he kept comforting himself in his heart not to be afraid, not to panic.
"Section Chief Liu, if Comrade He Tao sacrificed as you said and then left, then you tell me where I got this kettle from?" Wang Youmu asked coldly.
Liu Yusheng thought that he couldn't admit it at this time, otherwise everything would change, and he must not admit that he left Xiao He alone. The moment the lightning died, Liu Yusheng had an idea, and he said in a low voice
"Alas, I'm sorry Comrade He Tao, I should have let him be buried at that time, mainly because I was too nervous at the time, and I would go to the leader to ask for punishment for myself in this matter. ”
"You are talking nonsense! This kettle was found by He Tao's side, if according to what you said He Tao is dead, why did you leave water and dry food?" Wang Youmu asked angrily.
"Maybe I was in too much of a hurry when I left, and I forgot about it for a while. Liu Yusheng replied slowly.
Wang Youmu suddenly felt that he couldn't speak, he felt that he was very tired, the kind of tired heart, Liu Yusheng's answer made him feel that his body had lost all its strength all of a sudden.
He took the kettle from Liu Yusheng's hand, then put it back on the table, and said to Liu Yusheng
"Section Chief Liu, go back, I'm tired and want to rest. ”
Liu Yusheng raised his head and stared at Wang Youmu and said in a warning tone
"I repeat, I left after Comrade He Tao sacrificed, I hope that you, Wang Youmu, will not rely on speculation to cause a bad influence on your comrades, think about the consequences before speaking, and be responsible for your own words. ”
After speaking, Liu Yusheng strode out of the room. Wang Youmu looked at the figure of Liu Yusheng leaving, and he asked himself in his heart: Can he fight Liu Yusheng? Is he the opponent of Liu Yusheng's wolf?
