Chapter 52: Boss Wu
"Just give it to me. ”
The maid signed and found someone to carry the package back to the room, and the door to the villa was closed again.
Wu Xijin returned to his stone bench with a little disappointment, but he only knew the possible name of the Night Lady, and there was no substantial progress.
About 1 hour passed.
The time was almost half past four, and just when Wu Xijin was thinking that there might be no clues here today, whether to go back to the Land Planning Bureau to take a look, a private carriage slowly drove out of the courtyard.
The car did not draw the curtains, and through the window, Wu Xijin saw a man in his early forties who was a little Mediterranean and had a good body.
The moment he saw the man, Wu Xijin couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "lying down".
This man is none other than Director Cao Yuancao!
Wu Xijin quickly followed, and at the same time restored a series of plots:
Yema went to the office to find Cao Yuan, Yema waited in Wang Qi's office for 15 minutes, Cao Yuan didn't come, and Yema went home in high spirits...... Then Cao Yuan was already at home.
It's really, it's a private thing.
In this case, Wang Qi was obviously not the only breakthrough, Wu Xijin took a carriage to follow Cao Yuan, he thought that Cao Yuan might go to the unit to have a look, but Cao Yuan turned a corner before reaching the Land Planning Bureau, and stopped in front of a shop 10 minutes later.
This is a shop that sells rice, and the sign at the door is 20 copper yuan per catty today.
It's so expensive!
Wu Xijin remembers that when he was in Grouper Town, the price of rice was 1.5-2 copper yuan per catty, which was a full 10 times over?
Spreads in big cities?
Or something else?
Cao Yuan didn't stay in the shop for long, he asked about something that might have something to do with the amount of sales.
The clerk shook his head repeatedly under Cao Yuan's inquiry, and after Cao Yuan reprimanded him, the clerk took a board eraser and chalk and changed the price of rice today to 18 copper yuan per catty.
Is this unsellable?
Some of the previous conversations involuntarily came to Wu Xijin's mind:
"I can imagine that the merchants of the guild must have a very wonderful expression when they hear this news. ”
"Don't look at my family's rice and eat it hard, tell you, the price of this grain will not be high for a few days, don't get sick in order to eat two more bites, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
......
Leaving the shop, the carriage turned around and stopped at the door of a small cottage.
I won't be able to see the content this time.
Wu Xijin waited at the door, and 70 minutes later, Cao Yuan's carriage had already driven out of the villa.
So long?
It seems to be a serious matter.
At this time, it was already 6 o'clock, Wu Xijin continued to follow Cao Yuan, and found that Cao Yuan did not continue to wander, but went home directly. At this time, Wu Xijin felt that there was nothing to follow, and decided to target the owner of the villa just now.
Wu Xijin has to sort out the intricate relationships between this series of characters, so as to find a new breakthrough.
It took less than 20 minutes to go back and forth.
Wu Xijin paid for the carriage and let the carriage leave, and walked around the villa a few times alone.
After a while, Wu Xijin stood in front of the water valve of the villa, showing a thoughtful expression.
......
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Wu Xijin went out to buy a trip and reappeared at the door of the villa.
Dangdangdang.
Wu Xijin knocked on the door of the villa.
He didn't get a direct response, knocked two or three more times, and a soft sound came from the villa, and the sound of slippers hitting the ground came from far and near, and then, the door was opened, and a lady wearing a tulle nightdress and sleepy-eyed appeared in front of Wu Xijin.
She looked to be in her early 20s, with a superior appearance, a delicate figure, and her long hair was slightly messy, as if she had been pressed by sleep.
"You are?"
The woman was obviously stunned when she saw Wu Xijin.
There will be almost no one here except Cao Yuan, and the woman's first reaction is that Cao Yuan is going and returning.
"Hello ma'am, our company is rectifying the nearby water pipes, I would like to ask, is the water in your room out of water?" Wu Xijin had already changed into work clothes at this time, carrying a small frame in his hand, which contained boards, pliers, clips, ropes, tape and other crime tools.
"No water?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Wait a minute, I'll take a look." ”
After the woman finished speaking, she trotted all the way into the bathroom on her slippers, and in a few seconds, she trotted all the way out of the bathroom.
When I came back, the slippers also stepped on the watermark all the way.
"I'm sorry, but the water in my house has been cut off, when will the water be restored?" asked the lady.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you out. Let me introduce myself, my surname is Wu, Wu Prison Board, Wu of martial arts, solid prison, bench board, what do you call it?" Wu Xijin took off his hat and said.
"Hello, my surname is Dong, Dongguanguan. The winter of winter, the smiling of the guan. ”
Dong Guanguan unconsciously replied in the same sentence structure as Wu Xijin, although she didn't seem to need to introduce it in such detail.
"What a great name, and it goes well with your temperament. Wu Xijin casually complimented, and then said, "Madam, is it convenient for me to go in and have a look now?"
"Of course, Mr. Wu, please come in. "Dong Guanguan made way for Wu Xijin.
"You can just call me by my name. Wu Xijin bowed slightly.
"Okay, Wu Xian... , well, Wu Jian board, you don't have to change your shoes, the living room is a bit messy. Dong Guanguan said embarrassedly.
It's really not that Dongguanguan is modest, it seems that he didn't have time to tidy up, and the living room is really messy.
The first thing that comes into view is the half-draped floor-to-ceiling windows, in front of which there is a set of luxurious-looking leather sofas.
The chaos began with the set of sofas, where the cushions that should have been placed on the sofa were kicked to the floor, and on the sofa was a lace-trimmed apron and a torn stocking.
Gaze shift.
On the long table 3 meters away from the sofa group, the teacups and teapots that should be placed according to a certain aesthetic are stacked in the corner of the table at this time, and most of the space vacated by the long table has some food residues like milk and ketchup, making the already unbeautiful furnishings even more messy.
followed Dong Guanguan into the bathroom.
Half of the water in the tub was already cool, and there were flower petals floating on it.
The bathroom floor was wet with spilled water, and it was not air-dried, and the water that Dong Wanguan brought out from his slippers just now obviously came from here. And the ground is not pure water, it seems to be mixed with some soap-like substances, which makes the tile surface particularly slippery, and Wu Xi and Jin have to be careful when stepping on it.
"I'm sorry to be in the prison, it's too messy at home. ”
Dong Guanguan was surprised to find that after the name of Wu Prison Board was called twice, it was unexpectedly smooth?
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
Wu Xijin felt that the time for the two of them to toss for 70 minutes might be basically this Dong Guanguan was busy working, so Cao Yuan would be more tired after leaving, so he slept by himself for a while, and he didn't clean up, which is completely understandable.
I just came to see the scene of the crime, and there was no need to urge others to do housework.
After turning on the faucet, Wu Xijin symbolically twisted around with a board, but no water came unexpectedly.
But there is no doubt about the acting skills provided by 'acting', and Wu Xijin has not been seen as a flaw as a plumbing worker.
After a few minutes of going around and around, the water supply was back to normal again.
"It's fixed. ”
Wu Xijin is quite satisfied with the easy solution to the problem of restoring water supply. By this time the goal had been achieved, and he was ready to leave.
"I'm really bothering you, Wu Jiaoban. Dong Guanguan bowed slightly, and politely thanked Wu Xijin.
"We're causing you trouble. "Wu used to be the present.
"Walk slowly. ”
Dong Guan Guan bowed slightly again.
I didn't say welcome to visit next time, so I will get a review...... Wu Xijin smiled and waved his hand, closed the door of the villa, and turned to leave.
