Chapter Twenty-Six: Auxiliary Hands

"In the end, it was a little slower, which is my dereliction of duty, and I apologize to you in advance. Director Wan's tone was very natural.

"The leader is too polite. ”

Then Director Wan set up the chair, sat down, pointed to the clothes in Mengzhen's hand and asked, "Are you looking for a listening device?"

"How do you know?" said Mengzhen, who seemed to think of something, but still showed a puzzled expression.

"You must be curious about who was in the car before, and I came here today to explain it to you. ”

Meng Zhen looked at Director Wan blankly, but he was very excited in his heart, after all, he could immediately know something he had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Look at how excited you are, why are you still sweating. Director Wan said with a smile.

"Of course I'm excited, after all, I suddenly became a shopkeeper and could make a lot more money than before, so I really want to know why this kind of good thing can happen to me. After saying that, he showed a sincere gaze.

Director Wan coughed lightly, then took out his old wallet, and took out a somewhat yellowed photo from the mezzanine inside, on which was a group photo of nine people, Director Wan's position was on the far right, his body was thinner than other people, and the background of the photo was a forest, which looked like it was taken in the countryside.

Meng Zhen looked at the photo carefully, then smiled and said, "The one on the far right is you, are these your brothers?"

"It's not a friend of life and death, but it's worth it to meet such friends in this life. ”

"Are they all detectives like you now?"

Director Wan shook his head regretfully, and at the same time gently stroked the tallest person in the middle with his hand, sighed and said: "After separation, we haven't had much contact, but I heard that some people have started a business, some people have gone abroad, and the tallest one in the middle is the oldest of us here, if it is still now, there should be seven..." It's almost eighty. ”

"He..."

"I passed away nine years ago due to illness. ”

"I'm sorry, Director Wan. Mengzhen lowered his head with a regretful face.

"Actually, we were quite sorry for him, we could have seen him, that was his last wish, but unfortunately I really couldn't get out of the way at the time, and it had been two days since he arrived, which I did owe a little bit of. ”

Director Wan stared at the person in the photo very seriously, with a helpless expression on his face, maybe he felt more uncomfortable, but he didn't show it.

"You and these friends are..."

"Ah, it's time to get to the point, we are Master Guo's assistants, to put it bluntly, they are helpers, but they are all called assistants, the origin here did not start from my generation, I was just an ordinary policeman before I joined, I was still young at that time, I didn't understand this, and I was also selected like you, maybe I was very brave at the time, Wanju was also a person who snatched a kitchen knife from the gangsters with his bare hands when I was young, and I didn't mention this to outsiders. After speaking, he also laughed at his former youthful vigor.

Looking at Wan Ju's honest smiling face, Mengzhen suddenly had a lot of psychological pressure, could the person who helped him yesterday be his assistant? I felt that they were all very capable, so I asked puzzledly: "Then the first time you helped Guo Lao... When is it, sir? ”

Wan Ju carefully put away the photos, and then said with a correct attitude: "It was in a poor mountain village, there was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, but because the confinement lady was not there, no one could deliver the baby, and the traffic was particularly inconvenient to go to the county seat. ”

"Forty miles! That's twenty kilometers. ”

"Yes, at that time, the pregnant woman couldn't hold on, the time was almost too late, and the road in the mountains was not easy to walk, especially in the last ten miles, seeing that the doctor brought by Master Guo was getting more and more anxious, a few of us cut some branches casually at that time, and then tied the vines to make a simple stretcher, and finally we just let the doctor lie on the stretcher, ran back to the mountain village, and almost didn't catch up. ”

"Dan... Stretcher, you happened to be in the city?"

"At that time, it was not as convenient as it is now, Master Guo encountered any big trouble, we had to solve the problem as soon as possible, this is the meaning of the auxiliary hand, now it is much better, the transportation is so convenient, they just need to find a resettlement point in the city." ”

Mengzhen still didn't understand a little, so he continued to ask, "Then can I take the initiative to contact them?"

"No, only in extraordinary times, they will take the initiative to appear around you, and the extraordinary times are when the dreams entrusted to you have problems and you can't solve them alone. ”

"Then yesterday seems to..."After the dream really understood, he began to bow his head in self-blame.

"That's right, they shouldn't have appeared yesterday, because you were going to save that girl, and you didn't accept Lin Shan's commission before, so they came to help you yesterday because they were completely forced to do so. Director Wan said earnestly.

That is to say, yesterday was just for himself, not only mobilized his assistants, but also played the old card of Director Wan, if there was no Director Wan, the listener and the police could not solve it, and it was Director Wan who kept his identity and those assistants from being exposed.

"I know what you're thinking. Director Wan patted Mengzhen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't say it's you, your assistants must be complaining, but this incident also fully proves that your heart is righteous, and you did not flinch in the face of danger, but faced it calmly, which shows that Master Guo chose you correctly." ”

"But..."Mengzhen said with a lot of self-reproach, "I hurt Lin Shan, if I had accepted Lin Shan's commission at that time, maybe I wouldn't have made it to the end I have now." ”

"What you did was not wrong, if Lin Shan was left behind at that time, I am afraid there would be no way to exterminate this criminal organization, and the day after tomorrow we will reward you for your bravery, at least your efforts cannot be without a return, it will be regarded as what we entrusted to you, and the reward will be regarded as a reward." ”

Mengzhen hurriedly refused: "How can this be done, Director Wan, in fact, I am..."

He didn't dare to say the next words, it was the night with Zhu Qing, after all, not too many people should know about this matter, of course, if that Brother Long hadn't revealed it.

"You mean that the ringleader known as Brother Long framed you? A girl named Zhu Qing explained the situation to us in advance, saying that you acted in a scene in response to their inspection that night, and there was no actual contact at all, and all your actions were brought up by her, so don't worry. Director Wan replied thoughtfully.

"This..."It was obvious that Zhu Qing didn't tell the truth, she was very awake that night, and she even remembered the feeling vividly.

"Don't overthink it, get some rest. ”

"I feel like I'm able to be discharged from the hospital, and I'm fine. Dream really said a little anxiously.

"Okay, but whatever happens, we'll have to wait for tomorrow. ”

"By the way, Director Wan, Master Guo once gave me a few photos of my parents, but their faces were blurred, may I ask if those photos are you or other friends..."

Director Wan looked at Meng Zhen's sincere eyes, he knew the situation of this matter, but he still made an unclear look: "This matter does not belong to us, it belongs to you." ”

Mengzhen also saw that Director Wan had something to hide, but since he decided to hide it, he definitely couldn't ask, so he sighed helplessly.

Director Wan looked at the time, said that he was ready to leave, and was just about to get up, when Meng Zhen suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Director Wan, are those auxiliary hands you selected?"

Director Wan laughed, then nodded with satisfaction and added: "You can trust them, and now the scale of the auxiliary hand is not like before, it seems to listen to them, where to start your own business, anyway, your generation is much better, not as troublesome as we used to be, I believe that the dream home will develop very well in the future, and you have to work hard yourself." ”

Mengzhen nodded very seriously and replied: "I will, don't worry, please rest assured, please rest assured, Old Man Guo, I won't let him down." ”

Director Wan suddenly paused when he walked to the door, and said very tactfully: "By the way, you don't have to blame yourself for Lin Shan's matter, she is not dead, the good news is that she is now in a coma, the doctor has been rescuing her for a long time, and she has been out of danger, the bad news is that I don't know when she will wake up, and it is not clear what state she will be in after waking up, and she may have amnesia, because she has received some heavy blows to the head, so it is difficult to say what will happen after waking up, but at least she is not in danger of life." ”

Hearing this news, Meng Zhen couldn't be happier, after all, what he wanted to see was Lin Shan, who was very strong the day before yesterday, of course, it was useless to say anything now, so he said hello to Director Wan.

After Director Wan left, he folded his clothes and put them back in the drawer, and at this time he found that his body was not in much pain, but much better than before, so he began to try to get out of bed.

After another period of time, An Xiran suddenly pushed the door in, and Meng Zhen was so frightened that he trembled.

"Wow, aren't you knocking?"

"This is the hospital. An Xiran looked at him pitifully and replied, "Are you feeling better?"

Mengzhen simply did a few chest expansion exercises and said confidently: "How tough my body is, and it is inevitable that I will recover quickly, just a little flesh injury." ”

"Then rest too. Then An Xiran put the insulated lunch box in his hand on the table.

"You're really going to make me dinner? so polite?"

"At least you're a sick person, and of course I, as your colleague, have to be concerned. ”

Mengzhen smiled disdainfully: "A little flesh injury, why do you say you are so serious." ”

"A little flesh wound made you unconscious for a day and a night, don't think you're a Wolverine, you can't compare with Uncle Wolf in terms of figure and appearance. She stuck out her tongue.

Mengzhen didn't say much, because the previous conversation with Director Wan made him reacquaint himself with himself, and he knew the dream house, but he couldn't be like a child like in the past, so he leaned on the edge of the hospital bed and said stupidly: "You know, I had a dream when I was in a coma before, and I dreamed that I was back on that day, the bridge, although I didn't see the girl's appearance clearly, but she was similar to you, and she was wearing a white dress, very beautiful." ”

"You, Sichun?" An Xiran asked blankly.

"Oh, I just dreamed of you, I really don't understand any fun, I can't communicate. Mengzhen said with a disgusted face.

"Can you still dream of me?"

"It's not just you, I seem to have heard Old Man Guo's voice, and I don't know why I had such a dream. He scratched his head and said.

An Xiran opened the lunch box and said while checking it: "Don't think about dreams, let's eat quickly." ”

Mengzhen immediately took the lunch box and devoured it, forgetting that he was actually very hungry. After dinner, he was very relaxed and burped, and then sat quietly on the edge of the bed and looked at An Xiran, and began to plan the route behind, because of the existence of the auxiliary hand, which also made him have a little more confidence in the future of the dream house, after all, there is such a group of people hidden behind the scenes who can stand up in times of crisis, which can be regarded as a kind of umbrella, and at the same time he began to have more curiosity about this kind of work, after all, where is the origin, what is the way of doing things in the past, where are the assistants, and how they are inherited, these are deeply surrounding his heart。

The next morning, Mengzhen completed the discharge procedures without hesitation, breathed the fresh air outside, and then took a taxi to the door of the Dream House, and just about to open the door, he found Zhu Qing standing behind him and sighed: "It turns out that you work here." ”

He looked at Zhu Qing with some surprise, and at the same time looked at the time, feeling that under normal circumstances, An Xiran would come here soon, although he had a lot to say to Zhu Qing at the moment, but there was not enough time, so he pulled her aside and said nervously: "You followed her all the way?"

"No, it's just that you came here with your little girlfriend yesterday, and you lied to me that you were single, and that you would rescue me with your own hands, you liar. Zhu Qing replied very coquettishly.

"You said An Xiran, she's not my girlfriend, she's just working here, and now that you're out, you should hurry home as soon as possible, otherwise your family should worry about you." ”

"It's not a girlfriend, she's going to hug you and cry, she's going to be guarding you in the hospital? ”

Mengzhen really didn't know how to explain, so she had to say helplessly: "Okay, just think she's my girlfriend, she'll be here soon, wouldn't it be embarrassing to let her see me here with you, and you talked to her yesterday, so you should know her better." ”

"Forget it, I thought you were serious that night...", she looked aggrieved.

"Oh, don't talk about that night, and you're also..." Mengzhen paused, thinking that it was better not to say it yet, "Forget it, you must be careful in the future, don't be deceived again." ”
