A neat young man wearing a white shirt and black trousers with combed hair appeared at the door, "Manager Lu, do I want to borrow glue?" ”

Lu Chen was puzzled and said: "No, you came to borrow the stapler the day before yesterday, and you came to borrow glue today, what does your company do?" ”

The young man's face became embarrassed, and he said with a smile: "I'm so sorry, I haven't had time to buy it when the glue runs out." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Shanshan took the glue to him, "Here you go, Zhang Xiang." ”

The young man named Zhang Xiang took the glue, looked at Shanshan and said, "Thank you." ”

Lu Chen watched him go out and said to Shanshan, "Are you very familiar?" Even the name is known. ”

Shanshan said angrily: "I know the names of many people on this floor, and I don't just remember him." ”

Lu Chen scratched his head: "I see that those people already know your name, those young men come to talk to you twice in three days, do you have a fancy for one?" ”

Shanshan glared at Lu Chen, "Do you want me to marry early?" You're not my brother. ”

Lu Chen smiled: "I promised your brother to take care of you, this is caring for you." ”

Shanshan was a little angry, did this guy get into the water in his head, "My brother didn't let you find me any boyfriend, you are still a bachelor, you still look for me to pretend to be your girlfriend when you go home for the New Year, you haven't thanked me yet." ”

Lu Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "How about I give you a month's vacation, how about going out to play?" ”

Shanshan shook her head, "I'm not interested, it's my birthday next month, you can think of what to send to me yourself." ”

Lu Chen snorted: "Really? I really have to think about what to give to our Miss Fu. ”

Shanshan smiled, "You have to think about it, or I'll call them and say you're fooling them." ”

Lu Chen suddenly remembered something, "I'll have to go to the insurance company later, I've been discharged from the hospital for a few months, and the compensation hasn't arrived yet." ”

Shanshan smiled disdainfully, "This time I should know that I was deceived by the woman surnamed Ye, right?" ”

Lu Chen sighed helplessly, "She can't help it, she has helped me urge several times, and her leader is either on a business trip or in a meeting." ”

Shanshan said in a sour tone: "It's only a fool like you to believe it, those are all excuses." ”

Lu Chen said lightly, "Anyway, there hasn't been any major events recently, so I should go out for a walk." At noon, you can eat by yourself, and I'll go to them while they are all eating at the company. ”

Lu Chen drove to the insurance company where Ye Wenyan worked, and came to the hall on the second floor, and as soon as he went up, he saw a group of people gathered there, looking at the clothes from the rural areas of the county below.

A man in his twenties yelled at the insurance brokers at the counters: "My eldest brother has been dead for half a year, what about your compensation?" At the beginning, he bought the highest kind! ”

The woman sitting at the counter said, "I told you that I had to get the official invoice." ”

The angry man said: "At the beginning, you said that you couldn't issue an official invoice, so let my eldest brother make up for it after a while, and then he kept pushing it off and not opening it!" Now what kind of official invoice do you want, isn't this bluffing! ”

The woman at the counter said, "It's your own fault, it's nothing to do with us." If you don't leave, you'll find the Patrol! ”

The gathered crowd scolded: "You call, wait for the patrol to come and see who is unlucky!" You liars! ”

Seeing this posture, Lu Chen knew that he didn't expect to get his hospitalization compensation today, and he issued an official invoice when he bought insurance from Ye Wenyan last time, but this bird company still has many excuses to shirk.

Seeing that there were more and more people gathered, Lu Chen had no choice but to leave here and return to his car. At this time, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties running down, this person had few hairs on his head, was wearing a work suit from an insurance company, and turned on his mobile phone, looking vicious.

Not long after, twenty or thirty thugs from the street came, and they were taken in by the middle-aged man, and Lu Chen knew that there was a good show to watch, so he stayed and waited to see what would happen.

The second-floor lobby of the insurance company was opened, and the gangsters, led by the middle-aged man, beat the families of the deceased who came to pay compensation, and the women and children were knocked to the ground, and a white-haired old lady was also punched. Lu Chen called the patrol, and the guard's car arrived quickly, and the gangsters who beat people heard the sound of the guard's car and scattered, climbed out of the window of the insurance company and ran away.

The family members of the deceased who were injured went to the hospital for an examination, and Lu Chen knew that this matter was not over, and they would definitely come to the insurance company again to discuss the explanation.

Lu Chen returned to his company, and after entering the door and sitting down, Shanshan asked, "How is it?" Are you coming? ”

Lu Chen waved his hand: "Don't mention it, as soon as I went, I saw that there were family members who wanted to compensate for it, and then they got into a fight with the gangsters called by the insurance company." ”

Shanshan was shocked: "Where did they dare to beat people?" ”

Lu Chen said casually: "There are people behind the back, those insurance companies are all opened by some princes, I have now seen what it means to be a fish and meat people." ”

Shanshan's heart was dripping blood: "So, your more than 10,000 yuan was spent in vain?" ”

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly, "I knew that I might as well buy a lottery ticket." ”

Shanshan asked him quietly: "Will that woman surnamed Ye avoid you in the future?" ”

Lu Chen pondered slightly: "If she wants to hide, I can't help it, I can't force a woman as a big man, right?" ”

Shanshan smiled disdainfully, "By the way, the bounty you caught the serial murderer last time has already arrived, a total of 200,000, and there are more than 180,000 after deducting taxes." ”

Lu Chen is rich: "This is still Lao Luo who helped me ask for tens of thousands of yuan, but it was only 150,000 yuan." Speaking of which, I'm going to treat him to a meal. ”

Shanshan took the initiative to ask: "Do you want me to arrange it?" ”

Lu Chen rejected her kindness: "Wait a few more days, I think he must be very busy now." ”

Shanshan huffed and said, "I think you're afraid of being called to investigate the case again, right?" I don't know what you're thinking. ”

"You girl, you really think I'm a detective, I can solve any case. Last time, the murder case almost killed me, if it wasn't for Qiu Xiaomei's soul to help me, I would have hung up a long time ago. ”

"I have a feeling that Lao Luo will still come to you for help, so it's better for you to take the initiative to find him."

A smile appeared between Lu Chen's eyebrows, "Then I'll pack my things when I go back later, and go out for a trip tomorrow." ”

Shanshan was full of disgust, "You go, call the woman surnamed Ye to go with you." ”

Lu Chen smiled: "Where will I call her?" If you want to go, you will go with me. ”

Shanshan stomped her foot, "Who's going with you scoundrel?" But there was a happy smile on his face.

In the evening, Lu Chen and Shanshan chatted about the novelist while having dinner at home.

"Have you read the novel written by that Wu Liang?" Lu Chen asked.

Shanshan nodded, "Yes, I read the book he wrote when I was in college, and I remember that a girl in the same dormitory as me still read it with a flashlight at night, saying that this is the only way to feel fear." ”

Lu Chen said with a big grin: "I haven't read it, he is quite famous, and he writes very well, right?" ”

Shanshan looked appreciative: "It's very good, it's the kind that makes people feel frightened from the heart, not like in some movies." ”

Lu Chen nodded without thinking: "That's right, many so-called horror movies now are just wasting film, a few strips of rags hanging on sticks just want to scare people, and even children are laughing when they watch it." ”

Shanshan asked him in a low voice, "Have you seen a movie lately?" With whom? ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "How can I have time to watch a movie, I watched it on TV." He looked at Shanshan, "You want to go to the movies?" ”

"yes, it's been a long time since I've been to the cinema. There's a sci-fi movie today that I think it's pretty good, why don't we watch it later? ”

Lu Chen said with a hippie smile: "Yes, but I'm afraid that some people will say that I am an old cow eating tender grass." ”

Shanshan's eyes rolled at him, "I'm not afraid of what are you afraid of?" Corny. ”

After dinner, Lu Chen and Shanshan went to the cinema city to watch the American sci-fi blockbuster, and they felt pretty good, with stunts and plots.

There is a big bookstore near the movie city, and after coming out of the movie theater, Shanshan took Lu Chen to the bookstore to buy him a few novels written by Wu Liang and went back.

"What do you think you're spending this money for? I'm not interested in this kind of novel, and besides, what books can't be read on the Internet now? Lu Chen said.

Shanshan said while selecting the book: "Can you be in front of the computer for a long time?" Believe me right, you will take care of Wu Liang's case, and now reading his novels will help you investigate the case. ”

Shanshan selected five novels written by Wu Liang, including the new work "Ashes Altar", and said to Lu Chen: "He has written a total of more than a dozen novels, let's read these first." ”

After Lu Chen went home, he sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs and flipped up the book "Ashes Altar", and felt that Wu Liang's writing was still good, although it was a bit exaggerated and pretentious. On second thought, that's just a necessary way to write a novel, otherwise it wouldn't be called a novel and would have become a closing report.

"The Altar" tells the story of a rich man who kills his wife and children with a split personality, and dismemberes the corpses and puts them in a large urn. And almost all the newspapers have affirmed how Wu Liang's wife was killed, and the newspapers will inevitably add fuel and vinegar to sales, but Lu Chen feels that his wife may not have died.

Lu Chen carefully looked at the photo of Wu Liang printed on the title page of the book, a typical image of a weak scholar, with eyes on the bridge of a wide nose and a very clean square chin, which reminded Lu Chen of a former elementary school teacher. He graduated from a university majoring in social sciences, and he is four years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, three years older than Lu Chen.

Lu Chen flipped through several other novels and found that Wu Liang's early works had deep traces of "Liao Zhai", and he thought that he had gained a lot of inspiration from "Liao Zhai".
