Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Charm of Power
In the Xiao family's villa, Xiao Bufan dismissed everyone and interviewed me alone.
He stared into my eyes and asked me, "I heard Qingqing say that you suspected my driver the first time I was injured." ”
"Yes. ”
I did not deny it, answered bluntly.
Xiao Bufan nodded: "That's right, my driver is very suspicious, because he hasn't shown up once from beginning to end." ”
"Do you know where he went?"
Hearing Xiao Bufan say this, I felt that the object of my suspicion was right.
Xiao Bufan let out a sigh and sighed: "Maybe I'm going back to my hometown, even I can't contact him, this kid has been with me for so many years, but I didn't expect that if I had a car accident, he would disappear completely." ”
Regret was written all over his face.
If something goes wrong with the people around you, in addition to regret, it may be more likely to be self-blame.
What's more, he is also the director of a public security bureau.
I smiled, shook my head and said, "Old Xiao, he may not have returned to his hometown, or he has been killed." ”
"Extinguishing ......"
Xiao Bufan's two sword eyebrows suddenly stood up, and a murderous aura oozed from his eyes: "Dare to destroy the mouths of the people around me Xiao Bufan, who do you think would have such courage?"
"Since they can cut off your right-hand man, will they not dare to attack your driver?"
I asked in a cold voice.
When Xiao Bufan heard this, his body shook, and he collapsed on the sofa: "Yes, it seems that I underestimated my opponent......"
Seeing the old man in front of me, who seemed to age ten years old in an instant, my heart was still sour, thinking about how high-spirited and beautiful he was when I met him, but now he was gray-haired and desolate.
Zhang Ze's sacrifice and Zhang Yue's accident were tantamount to a huge blow to the public security chief.
Zhang Ze and Zhang Please are his right-hand men.
But the two of them had accidents one after another, and it can be seen from this that the criminals are so rampant that they are so fearless that they put their hands on the head of a public security chief.
So it was not Xiao Bufan who was angry, but the city's police force.
Seeing Xiao Bufan leaning on the sofa, I said: "Xiao Lao, to deal with this kind of opponent, I don't think we can be too aggressive, we have to fight a protracted battle with them step by step." ”
"Step by step, that's a good saying, tell me what you think, young man. ”
Xiao Bufan propped up his body and once again set his eyes on my face.
From his eyes, I felt that another glimmer of hope floated up, maybe when people are most confused, they will fall into a lost path, and the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are still very clear.
I don't know if I'm a bystander, but I have a clear idea in my mind.
I said to Xiao Bufan: "I think we should give up all the progress and start over." ”
"Knock it down, start over?...... It's really a bold idea, but have you ever thought about how many comrades' confidence in work would be undermined if it was really reversed. ”
Xiao Bufan is right, now all the police officers are making progress in an orderly manner in their own cases.
If it is stopped in such a hurry, not only will many clues be interrupted instantly, but it will also hit the enterprising spirit of many policemen, which is a taboo for soldiers.
I know that Xiao Bufan will not agree, although he is already in the quagmire, but they have put in so much effort, it is impossible to give up halfway.
But I have to stick to my thoughts: "Old Xiao, I have a way to go off the rails with a sword, I don't know if it works." ”
"I can support you in any way except tear down and start over. ”
Xiao Bufan showed his bottom line.
I knew that if he didn't do it all over again, then I would have to go off the rails.
So I said, "Old Xiao, if you support me, then I hope that the public security organs will give me a guarantee, and I will carry out a large-scale ghost hunting operation in the city." ”
"Catch ghosts, do you want to be Mr. Yin and Yang?"
Xiao Bufan had a puzzled expression on his face.
I smiled and nodded: "There are too many ghosts hidden in our city, whether they are real ghosts or fake ghosts, I want to catch them all through my efforts." ”
Seeing my determined expression, not like joking with him, Xiao Bufan also thought about it seriously.
After a while, he raised his eyes and asked me, "What kind of support do you want me to give you?"
"I want you, give me a base. ”
This is a request I made to Xiao Bufan, and it is also the only request, I know that this request will be very high, but I believe that Xiao Bufan will agree.
Xiao Bufan asked me with a solemn face: "Tell me first, what kind of base do you want?" ”
"The haunted house on the 18th floor of the scholarly community, I want to requisition it. ”
I said my request, and when I heard my request, Xiao Bufan's face changed.
He hahaha and laughed: "Young man, young man, you are really a powerful character, I didn't expect that it would be such a big breath to requisition the house in the scholarly community, and it is also a haunted property, this idea even I dare not think of." ”
"Xiao Lao, I only have one request, tomorrow morning, I will wait for your reply. ”
I stood up with a smile, bowed to Xiao Bufan, and turned to leave.
When I walked outside the villa, I obviously felt Xiao Bufan's electric gaze, teasing my back, a psychiatrist asked a public security chief for a house, and asked him to hand over the house within a time limit, which was simply a bold act.
But I, Wu Xiao, really did it.
I knew he would give it to me, because of this house, I had to give it down.
In the afternoon, I was at home sipping tea.
Xiao Bufan's call hit my mobile phone: "Young man, congratulations, your base is settled, and you are ready to pack up and move." ”
"Old Xiao, your work efficiency is high. ”
This is the result I expected, so I wasn't very excited, Xiao Bufan said on the phone: "Don't compliment me here, I wrote down your old account, I warn you, if you don't catch this ghost for me, next time we meet, I will arrest you as a ghost and put you in the bureau." ”
"Don't worry, Xiao Lao, I will definitely live up to expectations. ”
I made a promise to him that this assurance, although not very loud, is that it will be done, and it will be done.
After hanging up Xiao Bufan's phone, I called the housekeeping company.
After a while, several moving trucks were killed downstairs in the residential area of the building.
Shi Peng was also in the middle of those cars, he held a bunch of keys, and looked at me with a puzzled expression: "Brother, there is really you, the Public Security Bureau personally came forward to seal this property, but I didn't expect it to be for you to live in after the seal." ”
In his words, I heard cynicism.
I smiled and took the key: "Don't worry, boss, I'm just living in this house temporarily, and when things are done, it will come back to you, and you will continue to sell." ”
"Brother, for my brother's advice, don't play with fire, this house is really weird, you may not be able to control it. ”
Shi Peng spoke with a solemn face, and I knew that he was not lying.
I originally came for this weird word, if it wasn't weird, how could I choose him as my base, I just want to open a breakthrough through this weird house, and carry on the ghost catching thing.
I said to Shi Peng very sincerely: "Thank you boss for reminding me, I will pay attention to proportion, and when my house is moved, my brothers and I will find a place to have a drink." ”
"I won't drink the wine, I just hope you can come to the store when you are free, then you are your base camp, and we will open the store to welcome you." ”
After Shi Peng finished explaining this, he patted me on the shoulder, turned around and walked back to his car.
Watching him turn away and listen to his last words, my eyes moistened a little.
Many people who have known each other have become friends or enemies.
Because the world is inseparable from the word profit.
When your behavior touches the interests of others, others will more or less regard you as an enemy in their hearts, and even if you are a good friend, sometimes you may turn your face.
In the past few years, I have not really made any friends with me.
I know that my way of dealing with people is too unsuccessful to get to the point where I really make friends, and it may be a kind of communication mistake to be a person to do this.
Soon the housekeeping company emptied my short-lived home.
Without waiting for Mo Chen and the others to come back, I decided to move on my own, and after moving, I called each of them and sent them the new location.
Of course, these girls are excited because they have a new home to live in.
I kept the haunting of my new home a secret.
I contacted the company that installed the surveillance to install more than two dozen surveillance systems for my new home, and I didn't even miss the dead spots in the stairwell.
I want to use the latest technology to debunk the rumors of so-called hauntings.
These monitoring systems are all connected to my mobile phone through the network, and I will check the monitoring inside through my mobile phone anytime and anywhere, no matter where I am, I can monitor every movement in my new home.
After the new home was cleaned and looked brand new, after sending off the housekeeping company, I walked up to the terrace alone and looked out at Jinghu Lake.
Suddenly, I realized that the cemetery I had seen before had mysteriously disappeared.
What the hell is going on? The cemetery is gone.
It reminds me of what Aunt Yao said to me when I took a client to see the house before: "If she wants, she will uproot this cemetery and disappear before her eyes." ”
That's right, she is the director of the Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.
If the cemetery were to be used for other purposes, it would be natural for it to disappear.
In this world, power is the side with the most power, looking at the empty space, I suddenly felt an invisible fear pressing down from the top of my head.
This fear comes from the opponent and also from the person standing behind him.
I suddenly felt like a knife, a pawn, and I was being used as a weapon to kill and wound the enemy while others wrestled.
But I have strayed into this boat, and now it is impossible to get off the boat.
Standing on the terrace, I felt that the weather was getting colder and colder, and the wind blowing from the still lake slapped on my face like a knife, cutting my skin painfully.
I stood alone in the cold wind, feeling boundless loneliness, spreading in my heart.
This loneliness and depression make me unable to breathe, just like the black clouds in the sky, hidden inside, I don't know if it is thunder and lightning or rain and snow, I don't know when it will collapse, it will split my head and cover my face and pour a cold on me.
I'm like a boat in the ocean.
All around me was stormy and stormy, and I was tossed and turned in the waves, but I could never find a harbor where I could anchor.
Because those harbors that belong to themselves are like walking on their own.
Drifting away from me.
I don't know if I moved on my own, or if they walked away, but my loneliness was getting thicker and thicker, and just as I was deep in thought, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded in the empty hall behind me.
