One. Unexpected plea for help
It all started when I was drowsy and received an unexpected phone call, a completely unfamiliar voice on the other end of the phone, and after confirming my identity, he said his name: Wang Feng. I was amazed at why he called me. When he said his name, I couldn't even remember what he looked like, because I had only met him once, or Wei Xueman's teahouse by accident, he went to pick up Zhao Xiaochan, who returned late, and after they left, I learned from Aunt Man's mouth that he was the husband of the gourmand Zhao Xiaochan.
"I know it's presumptuous to make this call, but it's only after thinking twice that I want you to help me look into something." Wang Feng on the other end of the phone almost said, "This matter is extraordinary, and it may be related to my life, so I ask you to agree to this matter no matter what." As for the cost, don't worry, as long as I can find out the truth of the matter, I will pay you a large sum. I know ......"
"I don't know what you've asked me to investigate, so why do you assume I'll agree to investigate this for you? Also, if you do encounter any threat, shouldn't the first thing you should do is to report the crime first? "It's not a pleasant experience to be woken up from a sweet dream," I retorted with some indignation. However, after venting my emotions, I felt a little strange, why would he make such a request?
Wang Feng on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and there was a hint of horror in his voice: "This is just my suspicion, there is no evidence, so it is useless to report the case." The police will definitely not pay attention. Doing that, it might make her suspicious, wouldn't it? I'm in the hospital now...... So we'll talk about this another day, if we can......"
As I spoke, I heard the sound of a shoe heel tapping on the ground on the other end of the phone, it was a woman. Then I heard a soft voice asking, "How are you feeling today?" Who are you calling? Didn't the doctor say that he wanted you to rest? ”
It's a woman, although it came from the phone, but I think that the voice definitely didn't come from Zhao Xiaochan, because Zhao Xiaochan's voice was a little hoarse. Especially when laughing. It's like sandpaper rubbing somewhere, it's definitely not that gentle. So who is that? Wang Feng's family? Without waiting for me to ask more, Wang Feng actually hung up the phone by himself.
In fact, Wang Feng and Zhao Xiaochan don't seem to be so compatible in my opinion. And not just because of the looks. It's character. Wang Feng's personality is very flamboyant. He seems to be thinking about how to present himself in front of others all the time. But Zhao Xiaochan is obviously a different kind of character. Although enthusiastic, it always makes people feel faint. This is also Aunt Man's evaluation of them. Although the last time I saw the two of them in Aunt Man's teahouse, although it was only a hurried glimpse. But I can feel that the relationship between them is not bad. A couple who seem to be in love, why did Wang Feng make such a call.
In fact, when he came to his senses, it made me feel even more strange, why didn't he make it clear when he said that his life was threatened? Who the hell was the woman who showed up in his room? The one he said about her must be Zhao Xiaochan, could it be that he still has any secrets that he doesn't want Zhao Xiaochan to know? Or something mysterious that I couldn't think of for a while.
With a slurred voice, coupled with deliberately carrying his wife behind his back, I feel that things may not be simple. Although she and Zhao Xiaochan have met Wei Xueman's teahouse more than once, most of the time they have never heard her mention her husband. Hanging up the phone, thinking about it for a while, I decided to get a good night's sleep, today is a rare gloomy weekend, such a suitable weather for sleeping, isn't it a pity to waste it?
But my good dreams were completely ruined by the forest. On the other end of the phone, she said excitedly: "Hurry up and get up, and in five minutes, we will be downstairs for you." Hurry up and get ready, wait for us downstairs. ”
"Don't you sleep on the big weekend?" I asked with a yawn, but there was a laugh on the other end of the line, all of which sounded familiar. I said helplessly: "Linzi, you actually turned on the hands-free and still don't tell me?" ”
"You guessed it! Hurry up and get up, lazy, and give you one more minute to change your clothes! Lin Zi's continued excitement was heard on the other end, and then he hung up the phone.
Did I oversleep? I looked at my phone, and it was only 6:40 in the morning. In other words, when Wang Feng called before, it was only half past six o'clock. At this time on weekdays, I'm already up and ready to rush to work. It wasn't until I started washing up in a groggy state that I remembered that today was Youth Day. Even before Labor Day, I heard Lin Zi and a few colleagues mysteriously discussing what party to hold today. Before parting last night, Lin Zi seemed to remind me. It's just that because I'm a little absent-minded, I don't particularly care. I screamed in my heart, if I had known this, I would never have been able to go back in the first place, at least I wouldn't have to rush to an unknown place in such a suitable weather for sleeping in.
It wasn't until I got in the car and described excitedly in the forest that I knew that the place we were going to was a single-family villa on the outskirts of Beijing. It was a villa purchased by her relatives who had turned several corners, and because the family had emigrated, the house was empty, and the keys were left in the hands of Lin Zi's parents, who occasionally found someone to clean the house for them at a convenient time. And she got the key in the name of cleaning the house for her parents, so she made an appointment with Qin Ming, Xu Hui, Tong Ye, and the cold-looking Leng Ao, and the six of them went together. I really can't laugh or cry, when did this forest become so familiar with them?
"And Aunt Man and a mysterious guest. By this time, they should have almost arrived. Today, we have to make the most of this rare holiday. Lin Zi said excitedly.
It wasn't until I saw the so-called mysterious guest with my own eyes that I was taken aback: Zhao Xiaochan! It's really her. She stood beside Wei Xueman with a smile, with a large cardboard box at her feet. But it also made me more sure that the soft voice I heard on the phone before could never be her. Because she definitely didn't have time to rush here from the hospital. In this way, the question becomes a little suspicious, who is Wang Feng hiding? What trouble did he have?
