The person who almost bumped into Chu Tianqi was the section chief. The section chief was full of alcohol and drunk, and he stood there staggering, looking like he was about to fall at any moment. scolded in his mouth: "Who is so blind that he almost knocked Lao Tzu ......", when he saw that it was Chu Tianqi, he stopped scolding and grinning, and said with a grin: "It's you?"

When he saw this guy, he was angry, but Chu Tianqi still pretended not to hear the other party's words and suppressed the fire. said: "Section chief, I'm here to wait for cement." ”

"Cement?" The section chief's mouth spewed out a mouthful of wine, rolled his eyelids and looked at Chu Tianqi, and after about ten seconds, he suddenly slapped his head, "Oh, is there such a thing? I almost forgot about it when I was busy, and I rushed back from the work site now to deal with this matter." Go, follow me to the office. As he spoke, he walked towards the section chief's office.

Chu Tianqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Section Chief, I'll go to the bathroom, and I'll go right away." After saying that, he went into the men's bathroom.

After Chu Tianqi came out of the bathroom, he went directly to the section chief's office.

At this time, the section chief was already sitting in the chair, and his right leg was on the arm of the chair. The two buttons on the T-shirt have also been unbuttoned, and at the opening of the collar, a pinch of black* is exposed, and a mole at the root of the black* can be faintly seen.

Seeing Chu Tianqi come in, the section chief took his legs off the armrest of the chair, straightened up, and said, "Take out the approval document." ”

Chu Tianqi took out the reply from his bag and handed it over with both hands.

The section chief squinted his drunken eyes, looked at it again, then folded the approval document, stood up, and said, "You wait first, I'll go to the warehouse to pick up the goods for you." As he spoke, he walked out. I walked to the door and asked, "Is it the original?"

Chu Tianqi caught up and said, "Section chief, I guarantee that it is the original." I'll go too. ”

"What are you going to do?" the section chief asked rhetorically, and without waiting for him to answer, he said: "The warehouse is heavy, and outsiders are not allowed to enter it at will. ”

Seeing that the section chief did not allow it, Chu Tianqi did not insist anymore, but said: "Section chief, don't lose the strip, it is 380 tons of cement approved by the county magistrate himself." ”

"What do you mean?" said the section chief unhappily, and then, with a change of tone, "Isn't it the approval of the county magistrate Zheng for 380 tons of cement? Don't worry, you can't lose it. ”

Chu Tianqi hurriedly said, "Section Chief, I don't mean anything else. Three hundred and eighty tons of cement may be nothing to you, but for our Qingniuyu Township, it is a guarantee for the safety of schools in the township!"

"Are you bothered? or I'll stop doing it, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. The section chief said angrily.

Seeing that the other party was angry, Chu Tianqi had to compromise and said, "Okay, I'll wait, how long will it take for you to come back?"

"Fifteen minutes. The section chief said and walked out of the office.

Looking at the back of the section chief leaving, Chu Tianqi fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, Chu Tianqi's mobile phone rang. After connecting, he listened to the other party, said "I know", and hung up the phone.

……

It was nearly seven o'clock, and four or five fifteen minutes had passed. Chu Tianqi already understood that the other party would not come back. So, he walked out of the section chief's office, walked out of the building, and walked towards the backyard of the Materials Bureau.

Bypassing the office building, you can see that the yard at the back is very large, much larger than the front yard. Chu Tianqi knew that the Material Bureau had been in this position a long time ago, although it was close to the edge of the city and was a little remote, but if he wanted to occupy such a large place now, it was almost impossible.

In July, it gets dark late, and at 7 p.m. the sun has not yet completely set, and the afterglow of the setting sun drags a long shadow of the buildings in the courtyard.

Chu Tianqi stood in place, avoiding the sunlight, and observed the compound. The north and south sides of the compound are very long, the east and west directions are narrow, the east and west sides of the whole compound are surrounded by courtyard walls made of red bricks, the south side that communicates with the material bureau has no wall, and the north side is a tall house. All the walls were plastered with cement, with shards of glass stuck in the cement, and barbed wire in some places, probably to prevent people from crossing the walls. There is an opening in the east courtyard wall, and a large iron gate is installed at the opening, which is now locked and closed.

Chu Tianqi walked straight to the north, gradually approaching the house in the north. There are two rows of houses, and the middle of each row is not connected, and the vacant part is a wide aisle. The first row of houses has four sets of gates, the doors are double-doored, all of which are now closed, and each set of doors is marked with Arabic numerals from one to four.

Chu Tianqi crossed the middle aisle and came to the back row of houses. The back row houses have the same appearance as the front row houses, and each set of doors is marked with Arabic numerals ranging from five to eight. The difference was that the doors of the rooms from the fifth to the seventh were closed, and only the small door above the door of the eighth was open, and it was clear that there should be someone inside. Chu Tianqi looked around and walked towards House No. 8.

Coming to Gate No. 8, Chu Tianqi paused slightly, checked his circumference up and down, and then stepped over the threshold one meter high from the ground and stepped in. The light inside dimmed suddenly, and Chu Tianqi stopped, adjusted for a few seconds, and looked out. The house is very tall, the height of the ground from the roof is more than 10 meters, the width of the east and west is more than 50 meters, and the depth of the north and south is about 30 meters. In the northwest and southwest corners of the house, woven bags are neatly stacked, but it is not clear what they are. In the northeast corner of the big house, there is a small house, and the light from the windows of the small house shines through.

After observing for a full minute, and having adapted to the light inside, Chu Tianqi walked towards the small house with the lights on. With the sound of footsteps under his feet, Chu Tianqi's heart was also beating non-stop, he didn't know what was waiting for him, but he didn't expect it to be a good thing. Since entering the No. 8 house, Chu Tianqi has had a sense of danger, and now that he is getting closer and closer to the small house, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and even his left ear jumped a few times rapidly.

In fact, this so-called small house is also more than three meters high, with a span of about ten meters and a depth of six or seven meters. The light on the windows is also brighter, but you can't see the inside of the house, because the glass on the windows is frosted. At this time, there was a loud noise of laughter and laughter in the small house, and it was clear that there were more than one or two people inside.

As a precaution, Chu Tianqi kicked open the door violently, and then quickly retreated a few steps back. With a "bang", the door opened, and the light inside instantly shone on the outside of the room, and the noise in the room suddenly stopped.

After being quiet for dozens of seconds, the room continued to be noisy. Chu Tianqi waited for a while, and seeing that no one came out, he walked towards the door of the house. The moment his right foot stepped in, more than a dozen beer bottles flew by, and he hurriedly pulled out. The beer bottles fell to the ground and walls, some shattered, and some rolled aside.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, and there was no more noise, Chu Tianqi picked up two beer bottles that rolled out from the ground outside, and threw them in turn along the door of the house. This time there was no ridal back in the room, only the sound of two bottles shattering. Taking advantage of this gap, Chu Tianqi quickly jumped in, and then jumped to the westernmost part of the room against the wall.

At this time, all the scenery in the house fell into view. There are desks on the north and south sides of the west wall, which look like offices. In the easternmost part of the table is a large round table with skewers and other food. There were more than a dozen people sitting around the round table, and all but one were shirtless, with a green dragon with teeth and claws tattooed on each arm. At this time, they were all looking in the direction of Chu Tianqi, and their eyes were full of fierce light.

Chu Tianqi saw at a glance the person sitting in the middle of them, who was the section chief of the Material Section of the Materials Bureau. He moved slowly towards where the group was sitting. Stopped about a meter from the table.

Chu Tianqi stared at the section chief and said, "Section chief, where is my cement?"

The section chief was not shirtless like the others, but his neckline was open. In the light, the mole on his chest was so striking, and it was so hideous. The pinch of black* on top of it also trembled gently between his breaths.

The section chief's face was flushed, sweaty, and he said drunkly: "Cement? What cement? Do you have a sales ticket? Or you can bring the approval slip." ”

The section chief's answer was not unexpected by Chu Tianqi. Chu Tianqi had already thought of this during the more than an hour he had been waiting in the section chief's room. So, he said calmly: "Section chief, I gave you the county magistrate's approval, and I repeatedly told you not to lose it, and you also said that I would rest assured that I would not lose it." ”

"How come I don't know? Which of you has seen it?" said the section chief, looking at the people around him, seemingly innocent.

These bare-chested men all shook their heads and said, "I didn't see it, I didn't see it." One of them scolded, "Fuck, where did you come from? ”

Chu Tianqi ignored the clamor of these people, but looked at the section chief and continued: "This approval slip was personally approved by County Magistrate Zheng, a total of 380 tons of cement, and the school projects in Qingniuyu Township are all waiting! You can't say that if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, right?"

"Why are you like this? I said no, I can't coax you. You are poor and don't have cement, so you can't slander people like this, right?" The section chief pointed at Chu Tianqi angrily and said, "You still use the county magistrate to bluff people, what are you talking about the county magistrate and the deputy county magistrate." Tell you, the material section of the material bureau is a place where things are done according to procedures, not to mention the county magistrate, even the provincial governor must also follow the rules. As he spoke, he slammed the wine glass in his hand on the ground and said angrily, "Damn*, something." ”
