Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Underworld
After listening to Lin Han's words, the white-faced man was stunned for a long time, his eyes rolling wildly. Then he snapped his fingers and sneered at Lin Han: "Little brother, you can speak well, the scene is good." But I can see that you are an understanding person, and the two of them are ......" looked back and pointed at Zhang Dong and his wife: "It's a bit of a clue." That's it, since you've talked about this today, I'll give you this face, and I won't bother with them for now. Dog food, count your sincerity, I'll take it away. Actually, it's not for Magab to eat, it's not uncommon. He walked to the counter, picked up two bags of dog food, threw them to the two strong men on his side, and walked out of the store slowly.
Lin Han frowned and hoped that these plague gods would leave quickly, and closed his mouth tightly and said no more. The snow mastiff stopped as it passed him and began to sniff at his feet. Lin Han became nervous all of a sudden, he couldn't face this extremely fierce behemoth calmly, the fear in his heart always lingered, and he subconsciously stepped back to the side.
This action was seen by the white-faced man, and he laughed proudly. He bowed his head over his shoulder and whispered: "Please say hello to them, this street will be surnamed Lu from today onwards, my name is Lu Er, and you can call me second brother." Tell them that I will come back once a month in the future. It's not to blow to you, whether every store on this street will do well in the future, not to look at the industrial and commercial city management, but to see my Lu Er's mood, do you understand? After speaking, he winked at Lin Han defiantly, and went out to leave.
Lin Han watched the three of them walk out of the door, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wipe the beads of sweat from your forehead, a little ashamed. This ferocious and unusual snow mastiff really scared itself a little, and just now he was talking eloquently, but in the blink of an eye, he was silent when he saw the dog approaching. There is no ability in the air, but there is no place to use it.
Zhang Dong and Jiang Xue greeted him and let him sit down in the back room. Lin Han said a word, which stunned Zhang Dong and his wife: "They are the underworld, and they are here to register today." Zhang Dong was anxious and asked, "How do you know that they are the underworld?" Lin Han learned from them what Lu Erlin said. Jiang Xue was also anxious and almost cried when she heard this, the tears in her eyes turned back and forth, and she muttered: "What can I do, what can I do here." ”
Zhang Dong slapped the table and said angrily: "I said that as soon as they came in, they picked their noses and eyes, and asked me to catch lice for that beast, and they dared to find fault!" Underworld? What can the underworld do, now it is a society governed by the rule of law, and they are still against the sky, I will call the police now. Jiang Xue twisted him and cried: "Don't cause trouble, think about it first!" Lin Han also said: "Don't call the police first, now you have alarmed the police, it's useless to come, we have no evidence, and we have no loss, so it makes them wary." Zhang Dong glared and said, "Otherwise, what should I do?" Do you sit here and wait for them to come and collect protection money next time? "Gasping for air. Lin Han said: "Don't worry, I'll think about it." He looked down and thought.
After a while, Lin Han raised his head and said, "Zhang Dong, now I can't be sure of the identities of these people. But I should be able to find out the details of them, whether they are really underworlds or street ruffians. Judging from the current situation, I think they are swaggering and bluffing, and they can deceive one by one. You don't have to pay too much attention to it, I'll tell you when we have the results, and see how we deal with it next. Zhang Dong said indignantly: "Lang Lang Qiankun, I don't believe that they dare to be crazy enough to openly exploit industrial and commercial households and collect protection fees, he should be the boss of Hong Kong and Taiwan films." I was in a hurry, and I fought with them. ”
Lin Han soothed: "I will be able to inquire about the results soon, don't worry." Don't be rash before that, remember to ensure your and Jiang Xue's own safety first, and don't be impulsive. He took the net pocket in his hand and said, "Oh, don't be so angry, I have dinner in the evening, so I won't invite you to dinner today." I bought some of this for the two of you, and hurry up while it's fresh. ”
Zhang Dong saw that it was two crabs, and said apologetically: "Brother Lin, how can I tell you to break the bank, this thing is quite expensive now." Lin Han smiled and pointed at Jiang Xue and said, "She likes to eat, you are only responsible for accompanying the food, don't grab it too fiercely." Jiang Xue burst into tears and smiled, and said politely: "Brother Lin, it is said that we are neighbors when you move over, and Zhang Dong and I should have invited you...... But you see what happened today......"
Lin Han said: "We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it." You two put your heart in your stomach, just eat the big crab with peace of mind, these little thugs can't make big waves, I must have a way to deal with them. Brother and sister, your task is to take a good look at the store, take a good look at Zhang Dong, don't let him mess around, understand? Jiang Xue saw that he was sure of what he said, and seemed to feel more secure in her heart, and nodded lightly. Zhang Donghu said suspiciously: "Brother Lin, you said that little curly hair boasted that his snow mastiff was worth 10 million, is it true?" If he can be so rich, he will still collect a fart protection fee? ”
Lin Han pondered: "If I want to say this, I should ask you, whether it is worth it or not, you have the most right to speak, I can't see it." Zhang Dong recalled the posture of the snow mastiff and thought: "It's really hard to say, although the snow mastiff is rare to see, it is the best among the mastiffs." But now the market is mixed, there are more genetics or cross-breed mating, and there are many farmers in the industry who raise prices. He is a brute, whether it is his identity or bloodline, or price, is elusively tight. Lin Han smiled: "You should say, 'They are two brutes'." Zhang Dong laughed.
Lin Han got up and said, "I'll go first, go to the nursing home in the western suburbs, I haven't been there for a few days, you wait for my news." Zhang Dong and his wife sent him to the door, Lin Han gave Zhang Dong another key to the house, and instructed: "If I can't come back, please feed me the cat; In addition, if I can't come back tomorrow at noon, my little brother Shi Jia will come to you to get the key, you have seen him. Zhang Dong sent express mail from Lin Han and Shi Jia, of course he knew Shi Jia, nodded and took the key.
Lin Han hailed a taxi and went straight to the nursing home in the western suburbs. Before you go on a business trip, volunteer again. He remembered the vacant lot behind the carport he had cleared last time, and he was afraid that weeds were growing again these days. He and the workers in the courtyard hoisted a thin wire behind the carport, which was supposed to be convenient for everyone to dry washed clothes and bed sheets, etc., but it would be inconvenient to stumble and stumble under the weeds under their feet. took out the phone and sent him a text message to the business card left by Liu Hongxu, deputy director of the Chengxi Police Station. briefly explained what happened in Zhang Dong's store, please ask him through the relationship, can you find out what kind of Lu Er is coming from, and what he should do next.
After waiting for a while, I didn't see Liu Hongxu reply, I guess I either didn't see it or was working, thinking that with my help yesterday, he would definitely not refuse this little thing, and when he saw the information, he would naturally respond. After about 20 minutes of driving, after passing the airport road, the old three-story building of the nursing home in Xiling District was already impressive. Lin Han paid for the car, didn't enter the main building, went directly to the backyard boiler room, took out the shovel and left. The old man who burned the boiler was already very familiar with Lin Han, and knew that this young man was benevolent, and the dean and he had become old friends, so he came to work again. With a smile behind his back, he followed all the way behind, talking with a pair of words.
Lin Han handed the old man a cigarette, lit one himself, and asked, "Is the dean in the office?" The old man smoked his cigarette with relish and said, "I should be here on weekdays, but I went out to find a doctor today." Lin Han asked: "What's the matter, which old man is sick, isn't there a medical room in the hospital, and there are also college student volunteer doctors?" The old man shook his head and said, "What you said is on weekdays." Not long ago, a strange man came and got a strange disease, and these college doctors were gone. The old dean had no choice but to go out and find the doctor. Lin Han threw away the cigarette butt and began to work hard to eradicate the weeds, while asking, "Tell me, what's the strange method?" ”
The old man said very mysteriously: "An old woman came out of nowhere that day, and suddenly appeared in the compound. On such a hot day, she was wrapped in a thick cotton robe, and it was not too hot at all. Even the head and hands were surrounded by a large piece of linen coarse cloth, which tightly covered the face and forehead, leaving only a pair of eyes to see the road. It's hard to say this look depending on her age, she is wrapped like a big zongzi, and no one knows her true face. This time, she sat in the corridor and didn't move for a whole day, and she didn't answer anything when others asked her, and she didn't know if she was dumb. ”
Lin Hanqi said: "There is such a thing, how is this old woman now?" The old man continued: "Listen to me, those young college students can't persuade her, so the old dean will come forward in person." But no matter how she asked, the old woman didn't say a word, and her mouth seemed to be sealed. The old dean found a pen and paper and wrote to her, but there was no response. When she had to take off the coarse cloth turban from her head, this guy was terrible, and the old woman overthrew the dean to the ground as if she were crazy, and several young and strong young men did not stop her. ”
Lin Han smiled and said: "This is interesting, this old woman is ugly, is she afraid of being seen?" The old man said, "Who knows?" Finally she calmed down, and everyone didn't dare to mess with her anymore, so they had to let her sit there. Later, after dark, the old woman was not stupid, she actually found an empty room by herself, sat cross-legged on the bed, and remained motionless as if an old monk was chanting scriptures. The old dean asked someone to bring her some food and put it in the room, who knew that the next morning, how the food was laid out last night was still how it was still placed, and it had not been touched at all. ”
Lin Han said: "That's because she is not hungry, and she will eat naturally when she is hungry." The old man said, "The old dean said the same thing, but guess what?" Every day, according to the food brought to her during the meal, in the end it was all taken away untouched, and it has been seven days since today, not to mention rice grains, even water, and the old woman has not taken a sip of it! ”
