Chapter Twenty-Eight: Brother Chao's New Home
Many cars look similar in appearance, and the reason why Brother Chao feels that he has seen the car in the underground garage of my community is mainly determined by the license plate.
According to Brother Chao's meaning, at the moment when the car crashed into him, his brain suddenly became very fast, and while looking at the license plate of the car, his mind completely reproduced the scene of the last time he saw the car in the underground garage.
Just like many people who have had near-death experiences have said something similar, at that moment, the speed of the brain can play out a person's life.
The first thing I did when I returned to the community was to take the elevator straight to the underground garage, in line with the principle of 'there are no dates and no dates to hit three poles', first look for it and then say, what if I really found out?
Everything in the underground garage was the same as before, cold, vast, and dilapidated. I walked around a few times, but I didn't find the license plate number that Brother Chao said, and I didn't find any marks on the front of any car.
After thinking about it, I walked again according to the position where Brother Chao walked that day, trying to simulate his perspective at that time.
As expected, it turned out to be nothing.
Just as I was deciding to leave here, I suddenly saw a person, who was one of Lao Gu's followers, one of the "Ah San Ah Si" who helped subdue Lao Wang when Lao Wang self-harmed before.
The man was walking towards me from a distance, and I didn't care, and I hadn't dealt with him before, so I just ignored him.
As soon as I turned around, he suddenly shouted from afar: "Zhao Qianqian!" ”
There wasn't much echo from the underground garage, but it was probably the building environment that amplified the volume, and his voice sounded very loud to me, and I didn't know that I thought I owed him money.
I also turned back to him and shouted, "It's me, what's the matter?" ”
Well... The volume doesn't seem to be as loud as his, forget it, don't care.
The man approached me and asked, "What are you doing in the garage?" Ready to buy a car? The tone of the interrogation was very easy-going, like two ordinary friends.
I replied casually, "Ah, come down and look at the environment." He said, "Didn't Master Gu tell you?" ”
I asked confusedly, "What did you say?" He replied: "The underground part of the garage in our community is only for people who have real estate in the community, and if the tenant parks the car, it must be parked on the ground." ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, Uncle Gu didn't tell me that there is a property in the community... That is, it is only for the original residents of the community? Why is there such a difference? ”
He shook his head and said, "I don't know the reason, but it's been like this since the day the community was completed, so it's better if you're okay in the future, some small citizens here will misunderstand." ”
Saying that, he smiled helplessly, I understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Well, thank you for the reminder, then I'll go up." ”
He nodded and said "yes", and I turned and walked towards the elevator, and when I turned the corner, I looked back, and he seemed to have come to talk to me about it, and he didn't stay long, and was already walking towards the depths of the garage.
Take the elevator back to my floor... My God, the old king is working hard early in the morning, and this frequency is really... Aren't you afraid of grinding an iron pestle into a needle?
Go home and wash up and go to bed, this time I specially charged my mobile phone, so I don't have to worry about being bored with bed tonight.
When I woke up, it wasn't dark yet, I turned on the machine and looked at the time at just over four o'clock in the afternoon, I felt that my spirit was okay, so I simply didn't sleep, got up to eat, and went early.
When they arrived at the hospital, the three of them were also eating, generally speaking, Brother Chao's injuries were not serious, and his internal organs were not injured, so he didn't need to avoid eating much, he ate Western-style meat sandwich buns from Kaifeng restaurants like the two girls.
Seeing that I came so early today, the three of them were not too surprised, and they chatted together for a while.
During the period, the doctor came to re-examine once, according to the doctor's meaning, Brother Chao except for the need to wear a plaster cast on his arm, and the head of the net pocket can not be removed, there is no problem in other aspects, if you are willing, you can stay for two or three days to observe and observe, and you can be discharged from the hospital at any time, just recuperate at home.
We were naturally very happy to get this news, and according to Brother Chao's meaning, we decided to stay for another two days and leave.
In the next two days, Xiaoxi Wang Yang and I continued to work in shifts to accompany the bed, and Brother Chao never told his family about his injuries in the car accident, or even to anyone else, only the four of us knew.
Brother Chao finally told the police and Chen Zhonghai about the license plate number, but he only said the license plate, not that he had seen the car in my community.
To our surprise, it was not the police who found the car first, but Chen Zhonghai.
It's just that the car is not the one that hit the super brother, the model is completely wrong, the owner also has a perfect alibi, and the car does not have any relevant damage or maintenance records.
In the end, the police came to a very simple conclusion, either Brother Chao remembered wrongly, or the car that hit him used a fake license plate.
The only clue is broken, and for the time being, it seems that there is nothing to be done unless there are eyewitnesses on the day.
Depressed, Brother Chao took advantage of the absence of outsiders to tell me his theory of persecution paranoia, Brother Chao felt that this was a premeditated car accident, otherwise why would the other party use a fake license plate?
I really can't answer this question, but I still advise him not to think in that direction, after all, you have no wealth and no color, how can you murder you without heart?
Chen Zhonghai has appeared from time to time in the past two days, his sister comes every day, as for his brother-in-law's relatives, including his parents, they have not appeared in the past two days, only two people who seem to be Chen Zhonghai's subordinates, who are in the hospital in shifts.
On the day of discharge, Chen Zhonghai's brother-in-law had not woken up, he originally said that he wanted to drive us home in his own car, but Brother Chao refused, so he had to only send us out of the hospital.
The new home of the three of them is a very ordinary three-bedroom apartment, and like most houses in Marina City, it is not facing properly.
The first time I visited their new home, I wandered back and forth curiously, Chao Ge Xiaoxi's room was slightly larger, after all, it was two people, a big bed, revealing obscenity and happiness.
Wang Yang's room is slightly smaller, with a single bed, revealing the pride of a single dog.
There is also a bedroom that is locked, and I think it is Xiaoxi's room's room.
According to what the doctor said, he has to go back to the hospital regularly to check and change the dressing and change the gauze, usually rest more, try not to touch the injured arm, and everything else is normal.
At noon, I went downstairs to buy some food, and not long after eating, Brother Chao clamored to sleep, and shamelessly asked Xiaoxi to sleep with him, with a desperate posture of being slightly injured and not getting out of the line of fire.
Xiao Xi was quite cooperative, and happily went back to the house with Brother Chao, and closed the door.
Now there are only me and Wang Yang left in the living room.
We were playing with our phones for a while, and when we were a little bored, I asked, "Xiyangyang, aren't you taking a nap?" Wang Yang didn't raise his head and said, "Don't be sleepy." I said, "I'm a little sleepy, you can sit somewhere else, I'll lie on the couch for a while." ”
Wang Yang raised his head and glanced at me this time, then lowered his head and stared at his mobile phone and said, "The sofa is for sitting, and the bed is for lying down, if you want to be sleepy, go to my room, I will lend you the bed temporarily." ”
I shook my head and said, "No, I'm not used to sleeping in a single bed." Wang Yang raised his head and looked at me this time and said, "It's really hypocritical, did you sleep in the dormitory with a double bed?" Yes? ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for me to answer, got up and went back to his room.
Alas, weren't they all very good in the unit before, why did their temper change when they left the company? I didn't like to be angry.
I was thinking about it for some reason, and when I looked at Wang Yang in the bedroom, I couldn't help but sigh again, being single is free and easy, and I don't need to close the door when I sleep, not like the super brothers and the others.
The sofa is still very comfortable, I fell asleep not long after lying down, I didn't sleep all night last night, plus I was busy all morning, and when Wang Yang woke me up, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening.
Brother Chao can't drink now, so the food at night is very simple, and after eating, he didn't wait for Xiaoxi's classmate to come back, according to Xiaoxi, it was a "big beauty", but unfortunately he didn't have a chance to feast his eyes.
Looking at the watch, it was not too early, I said goodbye to the three of them, and went downstairs to take a taxi home.
When the taxi was about to reach the edge of the community, I stopped the car on a whim and prepared to wander around for a while before walking home.
After going around the community, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Because there are more and more houses in the surrounding area that are divided into the range of 'to be demolished', it is equivalent to fewer and fewer residents in the vicinity of the community, and the community where I live is more and more surrounded by such old empty houses, as if it is gradually becoming an island.
This feeling of once prosperous and then lonely is more desolate than the wilderness where no one is already inhabited, and the more you wander, the more boring you become, so you simply go home and sleep.
When I arrived at the gate of the community, I happened to meet Chen Haobei and his buddies, who were still drunk and walking out of the community.
They also saw me, greeted each other, and were about to leave, when I suddenly remembered something, so I stopped him and asked, "Hey, Brother Hao, wait, ask you something, your neighbor, did you look for you again?" ”
Chen Haobei asked blankly, "Which neighbor?" I reminded him, "Just that neighbor with the surname Zhang, the neighbor who came to you at dinner the night you just moved in." ”
Chen Haobei tilted his head, looked at the night sky with blurry drunken eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Oh, what did you say?" No, I haven't seen it since, what's wrong? Did he bully you? ”
I shook my head and said, "No, no, I'm just curious, just ask, you're busy." ”
After speaking, I walked towards the community, Chen Haobei didn't stay long, only heard him and his friends continue to talk nonsense, but there is a sentence that I sound a little familiar with: "Don't look at today, we are going to the cash cabinet KTV, and when the buddies make a fortune, take the brothers to the Jihai charter every day!" ”
Jihai, why are these two words so familiar?
When I got into the elevator, I was still wondering, have I seen these two words anywhere recently?
It wasn't until I got home and sat on the edge of the bed that I suddenly realized that on the bedside table was the business card that Chen Zhonghai gave me that day, with gold on a black background.
I picked up the business card and looked at it carefully, there were only three words on the front, 'Chen Zhonghai' and two mobile phone numbers and a landline number, his name did not have any suffix title or position, and on the back of the business card, there were five golden words arranged in a fan-shaped pattern: Polar Sea Nightclub.
No wonder it feels familiar, I've seen it before.
It's just that I've never been interested in this kind of place, so I haven't paid attention to it before.
Look at the front again, alas, this business card is printed, and there is not even a position, it is estimated that it is either a driver or a security guard or a cleaner.
Think about when I was in Zhubajie Company, as a small salesman, the title on my business card was "regional general manager, provincial market planner", absolutely high-profile luxury and shameless without connotation.
Put away the business card, and in the screams of the old king next door, I slept until dawn.
