Chapter 248: Locked Up Again
Mei Lan's original intention was to give the old man a little more money, but the other party was a person who had nowhere to go, even if Mei Lan gave him money, he couldn't help the idea, but let Mei Lan bring an old man of this age home, thinking about the other party's eyes, Mei Lan was still a little scared.
When he was struggling, the old man suddenly said: "Little Lao'er is not difficult to be a girl." ”
This sentence of "little old man" completely dispelled Mei Lan's concerns, the two old men in Q City in Tibet called themselves "little old man", since God sent this person to her again and again, he must have his intentions.
"Old man, why don't I recognize you as a grandfather, you can go with me." Mei Lan plucked up her courage and said.
"With you? Have you thought about it? The old man looked at his tattered and dirty body.
"Think about it, you come home with me."
"No regrets?"
"No regrets."
The other party looked at Mei Lan for a full minute, and the people around him were also stunned for a while, this is too dramatic, right?
I've only heard of recognizing godfather and godmother, how can there be a beggar who picks up a beggar and goes home to recognize grandpa?
Strangely, the old beggar did not look flattered and grateful, but looked at Mei Lan with critical eyes.
"Okay, seeing that you are still sincere, the little old man will go with you."
The old man's tone of showing favor to Mei Lan made these people who watched the excitement puzzled, but Mei Lan still looked like he was pleasing the other party, and the onlookers were instantly messy.
What kind of strange combination is this?
Mei Lan helped the old man into the car. was about to go to the supermarket to buy him a few changes of clothes, when he suddenly received a call from Cai Qingruo.
"There's one thing I need to trouble you with, where are you?"
"Uncle, can you tell me what is the matter?" Mei Lan didn't want to go to see the Cai family.
"Merlan. Remember what I told you? If you can't ask more, don't ask more. ”
This is a bit strict, could it be that someone from the Security Bureau is looking for her? Or the prosecutor's office?
"I can't leave now because of something, and if they're in a hurry, they'll come to my door and wait." Melan said.
Cai Qingruo didn't ask Mei Lan anything, but agreed.
Mei Lan had to call Sister-in-law Liu and asked her to hurry up to the supermarket to buy vegetables and buy a few sets of old people's clothes. More on that later.
As soon as Mei Lan drove the car to the door of her house and stopped, two young men in civilian clothes walked towards Mei Lan's car.
"You're Merlan?"
"Who are you?"
The two of them showed Mei Lan the papers. Sure enough, it was someone from the Security Bureau.
"Well, please wait a minute, I'll send my grandfather upstairs." Mei Lan helped the old man out
"This is your grandfather?" The two looked at Mei Lan who was obviously an old beggar who came out, and couldn't help but ask vigilantly.
"The godfather I just recognized. I was bullied, and I couldn't see it back. ”
The two men looked at each other for a moment, but said nothing more.
Coincidentally, Sister-in-law Liu came over with two big bags of things, and Mei Lan had to entrust the old man to her, and took out a thousand yuan from her wallet, so that Sister-in-law Liu could serve the other party for a few days, and instructed her several times not to treat each other slowly.
After talking to Sister-in-law Liu, Mei Lan specially explained to the old man again, and watched the two of them enter the entrance of the building. Mei Lan turned around and got into their car.
This time, the treatment was good, Mei Lan's mobile phone was not confiscated, and Mei Lan was also asked to bring two sets of change of clothes.
Pity. Merlin was a little early in her joy.
The two did not take Mei Lan into the security bureau, but went to a very inconspicuous courtyard in the suburbs, and when they entered the courtyard, Mei Lan's mobile phone was confiscated, and before confiscating, Mei Lan notified her relatives.
"You can use the computer here to operate the stock and you can watch TV. Of course, you can also wander around this yard. Confined to this courtyard. The two men led Merlin to a room and said.
The conditions of this house are much stronger than the place where Mei Lan was taken for questioning by the Commission for Discipline Inspection last time, there is air conditioning, a TV, a computer, a telephone and a bathroom, of course, Mei Lan didn't know that it was just an internal phone at that time.
"Can you ask what you're bringing me here for?" Mei Lan was a little uneasy in her heart.
"We don't know about this, we only do what we have to do, and you don't have to be difficult for us, we have our discipline." The lad said.
Mei Lan had no choice but to nod.
Not long after sending these two people away, someone knocked on the door and brought a meal to Mei Lan, the food was not bad, two dishes and one soup, meat and vegetarian matching.
Half an hour later, someone came to collect the meal and informed Mei Lan that she could take a nap and that she would have something to do at three o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as she had eaten a full meal, Mei Lan didn't want to sleep, and she couldn't sleep if she wanted to, so she turned on the TV and watched it for a while, but she couldn't watch the TV, because Mei Lan's heart was like grass growing, and she really didn't know what these people were going to do when they locked her up here.
Time passed little by little, and as soon as three o'clock came, there was a knock at the door, and Mei Lan was led to another room, where there were six people, and in the middle was a man in his sixties with half-white hair and a scholarly temperament.
"You're Merlan?" A man in his forties next to him asked.
"Yes."
"Can you tell us about your experience growing up?"
Mei Lan summarized her resume from elementary school to university.
It's simple and bland.
"That's all? We mainly want to know how you study, how much time you spend studying, what friends you usually have, what hobbies you have, and of course, your family, your part-time job experience, etc., we all want to hear about it. ”
Mei Lan had to reorganize the language retelling, and this time except for his own rebirth, everything else was roughly said, because Mei Lan suddenly realized that these were people from the Security Bureau, and Mei Lan could still have a secret in front of them?
It took almost two hours to say that. No one interrupted Mei Lan in the middle, and someone kindly handed Mei Lan a bottle of water.
"I heard that you picked up an old beggar to recognize your grandfather, what can you tell me about this?" Someone asked.
Merlin recounted what had happened in the morning. Of course, Mei Lan couldn't tell the weirdness of the three old men.
"Do you often do things on impulse?" Another asked.
"It's not really, I used to have limited ability and couldn't take care of myself, but now that I have this ability, sometimes I will be impulsive, and besides, this old man is really pitiful." Mei Lan recounted the experience of being misunderstood as a thief in the hospital last time when she paid a fee to someone else.
"As far as we know. You and Cai Ganlin have lived together for so long, but this time Cai Ganlin has amnesia, and you have never taken the initiative to find him. I heard that you also paid him back all his money, why did you two break up so quickly? Someone asked again.
"There is no me in his memory, only his predecessor, the Cai family, who didn't like me in the first place. Why should I grieve myself? I'm not short of money. Melan said.
Several people glanced at each other, nodded, and bowed their heads to exchange a few words.
"What chess do you play?" A different person asked.
"Checkers, chess."
As soon as Mei Lan finished speaking, someone immediately put a laptop in front of Mei Lan and asked Mei Lan and the computer to play a game of checkers and chess, and Mei Lan lost.
"That's all for today, it's time to eat." The man in the middle said.
Mei Lan stood up and was about to leave, when the man suddenly spoke again, "Little girl." Let's go together. ”
Mei Lan had to go to the cafeteria with these people, and there were seven or eight people eating in the cafeteria, and Mei Lan didn't know who these people were.
Dinner is a buffet. Mei Lan picked a few things she liked to eat and sat down, and next to her sat the man in his sixties with the temperament of a scholar.
Professor Zhang chatted with Mei Lan while eating, asked Mei Lan about her emotional experience, and asked Mei Lan about her plans for the future, and Mei Lan answered them one by one.
After dinner. Merlin saw that the sun had already set, and it was not so hot outside. I didn't go back to my room to rest, and went straight to the yard for a walk.
The yard is not big, but the greening is good, there are a lot of flowers and trees, there is a lotus pond and a pavilion, there are three houses in the whole yard, two three-story buildings, and the two-story building in the middle is the kitchen and dining room that Mei Lan just came out of.
This place, it seems, is more like a retreat.
Mei Lan was watching, and suddenly someone came over and called her, "Mei Lan, three are missing and one dozen mahjong, let's go." ”
"Call me to play mahjong?" Mei Lan pointed to her nose, was it intentional or unintentional to let her play mahjong, how should she play?
"Let's go." The man shouted again.
Mei Lan also knew that she had no reason to refuse.
This time, I went to the conference room just now, but this will already set up a set of automatic mahjong tables.
When the man dragged Merlin there, there were already two people sitting idle.
"How big is it?" Merlin asked.
She was running out of cash.
"Five dollars a shot, we have the discipline not to gamble, this is not idle and boring here, I want to pass the time."
"Mei Lan, I heard that you are playing mahjong well, you must not let us, we want to open our eyes, you will open up and win." One of the people next to him said.
"Okay."
That being said, but Mei Lan really didn't want to win, the first card she was completely open and blind, but who knew that as soon as a card was played, someone immediately came in and sat next to Mei Lan.
Mei Lan wanted to give up his position to him, but the man smiled and said, "Mei Lan, I'm here to supervise you, play with your heart." ”
As soon as she said this, Mei Lan also knew what the other party meant, and dared to be watched again.
Now there is no way, Merlin can't think of a tie.
After nine cards in a row, the man said, "All right, you can change to another trick." ”
So, mahjong does not play but plays stud, and after stud, it is 21 points, and finally even the seam and bucket points have moved out, and Meilan has basically not lost.
The games that can be used to gamble with poker have basically been played, and only then did these people let Mei Lan go back.
Merlin also understood that these people had captured themselves to test their gambling luck to see if it was really as incredible as the legend. (To be continued)
