Chapter 173: Unexpected Connections
Today, the urban area of Beijing is not in the thick haze, the visibility is only more than 100 meters, and the high bridges of the buildings are as ethereal as a mirage.
When Xing Tian left the duty room of the vegetable market, it was already night, and his vision was even hazy, but the sky did not seem to be much darker than in the morning. The vast smoke suddenly reminded him of the scenes before and after the havoc in the old version of the "Journey to the West" TV series, and he seemed to be in a state of soaring clouds and fog, but unfortunately this state did not bring the elegant feeling of ascending immortals. "Ahem, ahem......" His cough was visibly more intense.
At this time, I'm afraid I can't go fast in the car. He thought to himself. Even in this weather, the streets are still crowded with pedestrians and vehicles. Almost from memory, Xing Tian walked two kilometers through the crowd and smoke, sticking his hands in his pockets and playing with nail clippers all the way, and finally touched the secluded wall. The black Santana kept the same position as he had parked it here last night when the haze had not yet fallen, he widened his eyes and swept around to make sure that there was no one nearby, pulled the door handle, and sure enough, he found that the car was unlocked, and when he opened the driver's door, he saw that Zhuo Wu and his clothes were lazily lying in the back seat. "It's very comfortable. Xing Tian sat in the driver's seat and slammed the door, "Woke you up?" Zhuo Wu slowly stood up: "No, I didn't fall asleep." It's just, it's just ...... "You just waited for me for a long time, right?" Xing Tian said with a little apology, "I'm late today." But I haven't asked yet, how did you get into the car? Pick the door, what the White Snake taught you?" Zhuo Wu rubbed his nose, smiled slightly, and felt for a key. "Hmm, so she gave you the spare key. "She knew I was going to see you, and said to lend me a ...... today."
"Okay, I'm overestimating you-cough-cough......" Finally stopped coughing, Xing Tian had already pinched the nail clipper in his hand, and while grinding the already short nails, he asked about serious things: "Today is not the day to learn, and Ming'er will not go to the black clinic, what is the matter with me?" Zhuo Wu took out a crumpled piece of paper and handed it over, saying, "There is a situation on Dante's side." One of the clients of the Sincerity Center - oh no, they are called clients - had some of her personal information stolen, but it was the work of a few amateur crooks, who were a family and wanted to extort a few dollars from the center, only to be exposed by Dante on the spot. "I can expose the liars on the spot, and I don't know if those liars are really amateurs or if the kid is a talent. Xing Tian thought so, put away the nail clippers, took the paper, and listened to Zhuo Wu again: "But you also know Dante, after all, this is the first time this kind of thing has happened since he got there, and I heard that it is also the first time that their center has found out." He suggested that the Panel should examine the customer in detail...... With the help of your and Jane Eyre's own channels, find out if she and her relatives and friends are likely to be related to our new adversary. ”
Xing Tian sat upright, turned his back to Zhuo Wu, and unfolded the piece of paper, just at this moment Zhuo Wu's mobile phone rang, and he naturally looked down, but it was a text message for a mortgage. Because of this spam text message, his eyes missed the moment when Xingtian's shoulders trembled spasmoly. After he deleted the text message and looked up again, Xingtian leaned on the back of the seat, pressed the crumpled paper on his thigh with one hand, and said nothing. Zhuo Wu was about to continue to relay some of Dante's words, when he heard the old detective cough again.
"This girl...... Now the family is rich...... Or is there anyone in charge?" this time Xing Tian only coughed lightly twice, and then asked. Zhuo Wu shook his head: "Dante said that she is the daughter of an ordinary peasant family. "In the summer vacation when I was 20 years old, I watched a friend who grew up with me at the entrance of the village being hit and killed by a car, which caused the root of anxiety to ......" "She ...... of that friend...... It's a woman, right?" "Uh...... Of course. "Anxiety disorders. Xing Tian muttered, wiped his face, and said, "You go on, what else does Dante know?" "Well--there is also the fact that this girl named Tang Ying is from Zaozhuang, Shandong, and she was in Beijing when she received psychological counseling from the Cheng Ai Center some time ago, and it is not clear if she is still there. That's all he has at his disposal. ”
Xingtian was bored for a while, and he didn't even make a subconscious move. Zhuo Wu couldn't see the expression of the old criminal policeman, and he didn't dare to lean out somehow, so he whispered: "Xingtian, that's all I want to say, I'm done." "Well, okay. It's up to Jane Eyre and me to find out, and it's not hard to get to the bottom of her. Have you said hello to Jane Eyre?" "No, it has to be done according to the group's procedures. "Yes, according to the group's procedure, after you report to the fool, he will instruct Jane Eyre and me to investigate. "Dante was supposed to report to Yugong himself, but the center was very busy at this time, and he couldn't spare that much time to go that far as a volunteer around the clock. I want to talk to you first, do you look at this Tang Ying, does she look like the kind of person who is going to be destroyed?" "Do you know her?" Xing Tian suddenly asked. "I don't know. Zhuo Wu was stunned, "It's just that I listened to her basic situation, combined with the fact that someone deceived Cheng and Ai Center in her name, I feel that if that group of people really wants to destroy her door, whether the scammer is instructed by them or not, they have the ability to prevent this scam from happening, and this scam obviously has the side effect of scaring them to destroy the door." So...... In case I spent too much time and energy on Tang Ying, and finally found out that she had nothing to do with the 'bystander' action and delayed the progress of other aspects, I am afraid that ...... I'm afraid that the foolish guild will think Dante is making a big fuss. "It's a big circle, you're afraid that your buddy will be disciplined by the fool!" Xingtian finally turned his head, and seemed to be very relaxed, "Don't worry! The fool hasn't disciplined him too carefully because Dante has done so before." The 'forbidden soil' has been planted, this time we are careful, we can walk steadily, even if it is a 'small problem', we must 'make a big deal'. ”
After that, Xingtian folded the paper again and put it away, and said, "So, it just so happens that tomorrow I will meet with Yugong to check on this girl's affairs, and I will ask him for instructions for you, right?" "Okay!" "That's it." Today, if you don't drive to death, you have to be tired, and if the car is thrown here, I won't send you back. "Okay, I'll go first. Zhuo Wu was about to open the door, but Xing Tian shouted, "Wait a while", and took out a few flat cardboard shells and stuffed them into his hands. "Take it back. Zhuo Wu took a look, the paper shells were printed with movie posters, and the pirated CDs were naturally sandwiched inside, in addition to the last "Transformers" and "X-Men", there are many new blockbusters, many of which are not introduced in China, and they are all action and science fiction themes. Zhuo Wu didn't know that the reason why Xingtian was late was because he was going to get these things.
"Thank you, I can't see so much, or you ...... first" "It's okay, take your time." "This total ...... How much?" asked Zhuo Wu as he reached for his wallet. "Come on, it didn't cost anything. Xing Tian replied with a sneer.
"Actually, I've always been curious. Zhuo Wu stayed for half a minute and said, "Based on the general impression, I thought you liked to watch the main theme, but I didn't expect you to be so interested in Hollywood movies, and you always watch new movies." "If I want to have a little more knowledge, I will definitely watch science and education films and documentaries -- cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, ......cough, In fact, what he wants to pass away is not only the "idle time", but also the loneliness and troubles contained in this "idle time".
Looking at Zhuo Wu's distant figure, Xing Tian, who was sitting alone in the car, couldn't help but touch the crumpled paper on his body. I knew that this was not over, no matter how many years had passed! The more he thought about it, the more he relieved his hatred.
