Chapter 57: "The Truth"

Under the repeated questioning of me and Wang Yang, Brother Chao told the "truth" of that day.

Of course, he didn't lose that memory, not only did he not lose it, but he remembered it from time to time.

Although there was only one moment that day, he and Chen Zhonghai's brother-in-law clearly saw the face of the driver of the car that hit them.

Our sister-in-law usually pays attention to maintenance, and she looks good, and she is in her forties, and she has no obvious wrinkles on her face, and she looks like she is in her early thirties.

But age is a strange thing, most people reach a certain age, just like our sister-in-law, although the skin is still not rough, there are no wrinkles, but it can be seen that it is not young.

And the person that Brother Chao saw, although he looked almost the same as his sister-in-law, could only be said to be a "young version", and after a period of thinking, Brother Chao was almost certain that that person was not our sister-in-law.

In addition, the sister-in-law and her family of three had been missing for a while before the car accident, which made Brother Chao feel that the driver just happened to look like the sister-in-law.

The shout he made when the car accident happened was purely subconscious, and he even suspected that he was dazzled at the time, so he never mentioned it to the public.

And if it weren't for Chen Zhonghai and his brother-in-law saying these things, Brother Chao originally planned to take the scene at that moment as his own hallucination, and simply wouldn't tell anyone about it.

After listening to Brother Chao's words, Wang Yang said to me: "Look, isn't it just a little bit of a thing?" Look at how hard you're doing. I scratched my head and said, "Isn't this just for fear of hurting my brother's feelings?" ”

Brother Chao said indifferently: "Wang Yang is right, in fact, it's just such a thing, anyway, I think it's just a person who happens to be more similar to our sister-in-law." ”

I was a little embarrassed to pick up the wine glass in front of me and said, "Then I'll punish myself, I shouldn't suspect that you have a leg with your sister-in-law, my fault." ”

Brother Chao gave me a blank look, but still picked up his wine glass and touched it with me.

After drinking, Brother Chao asked, "What are you going to tell Chen Zhonghai about this?" I said, "Just tell the truth, anyway, his brother-in-law has seen it, so that he won't be thinking about you all day long." ”

Brother Chao said: "Okay, then you can tell the truth, then again, since you have said this... Brother Qian, I have a wonderful idea I want to share with you. ”

I said "um" and then motioned for him to do it, and Brother Chao continued: "You say... Could there be any problems in your neighborhood? I asked suspiciously, "What's the problem?" ”

Brother Chao said: "It was you who mentioned this today, and I thought about it together, do you remember when Zhu Bajie's family of three disappeared?" I said, "Remember, it's the second day he went to my neighborhood to look for me." ”

Brother Chao picked up his chopsticks, pointed at the table with the other end and said, "Look, is this the case in time?" Zhu Bajie first went to your community to find you, and then his family of three disappeared, and then I went to the underground garage of your community with you, and I had a car accident, and the person who hit me... And she looks almost the same as the missing sister-in-law, why do I think these things are related to your community? ”

I said a little helplessly, "Don't think about it, okay?" According to what you say, we and Chen Haobei stayed in the underground garage for so long last night, which is much longer than the last time we stayed, aren't we all okay? ”

Brother Chao shook his head and said, "That's different, we didn't go to the garage last night, besides, don't you think the doorman last night was weird?" I said, "Don't look at the ugliness of people's parents and say that people are strange, right?" ”

Wang Yang suddenly asked, "What did you do last night?" "As soon as I heard her say this, I thought that Brother Chao hadn't told Wang Yang about this paragraph, so I told Chen Haobei about the process of calling the soul, in view of the fact that I felt that I was a little sorry for Brother Chao today, so I deliberately blew Brother Chao's cow and said that he wanted to be more gods and gods.

After I finished speaking, Brother Chaoyun smoked lightly, although there was no expression on his face, but he could see that he was also very useful for his praise of me, and one leg began to shake like Parkinson's.

Xiao Xi looked at Brother Chao with a look of surprise and adoration, it seemed that she only knew about this at this time.

Wang Yang was much calmer, and she asked, "What is the result?" Chen Haobei's soul was called back by you? I said, "It's not us, it's Brother Chao, I'm just going to make a move." Having said that, by the way, Brother Chao, Chen Haobei's whole person is not the same spirit as usual today, there will be no side effects of your soul, right? ”

Brother Chao said with a little hesitation: "Side effects... Should... Didn't you? There's nothing wrong with the process of our operation. I said, "Then why has his personality changed a little?" ”

Brother Chao thought for a while and said, "Maybe... Maybe it needs to be slow, right? Who knows how to cut, isn't it much stronger than before the soul was called? and confiscated his money, let's do this step enough. Talking about your business, when are you going to talk to Chen Zhonghai? ”

Seeing that Brother Chao didn't seem to want to talk about the soul anymore, I followed his words and said, "I was still thinking about this just now, and I'll call him after dinner to talk about it." ”

Brother Chao nodded and didn't say anything more, and talked about my community again, but I always felt that he was a little bit of a sign of persecution paranoia, if I hadn't interrupted him a few times, he would have almost described my ordinary community as a tiger's den in Longtan.

Brother Chao Xiaoxi and I had a full meal, Wang Yang finished her porridge, checked out and left.

It was not too late to settle the account, and considering the nature of Chen Zhonghai's unit, calling him at this time would definitely not disturb his rest. So I dialed Chen Zhonghai's phone, just while Brother Chao was there, in case what I said was not perfect, I could still ask Brother Chao to help talk about it.

When I called, Brother Chao and the others didn't speak, and listened quietly until I finished speaking, explaining that it was just a misunderstanding, Chen Zhonghai hesitated on the other end of the phone before making a request that was not too much, he wanted Brother Chao to visit his brother-in-law in the hospital if he had time.

I directly turned on my mobile phone to ask Brother Chao's opinion, and Brother Chao nodded and said, "It's okay tomorrow, I'm free anyway." ”

Chen Zhonghai and I repeated Brother Chao's words, and Chen Zhonghai thanked him again and again, and promised to invite me and Brother Chao to dinner in his nightclub again. I hurriedly excused myself, after all, it was not a big deal, and finally made an appointment with Brother Chao to go to the hospital to see his brother-in-law at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Wang Yang said: "Alas, in the end, it is a social person, everything is a routine, and there is always a curve in doing things, and never a straight line." Brother Chao followed and said: "Yes, but it's nothing, let him rest assured if he goes early, and it saves him from worrying about me." ”

Xiao Xi asked confusedly, "Huh? What are you talking about? I didn't understand it either, and looked at Wang Yang with inquiring eyes.

Wang Yang glanced at me with disdain, then turned his eyes into spoiling mode and glanced at Xiaoxi, and then explained: "Chen Zhonghai said that he wanted Brother Chao to visit his brother-in-law, but in fact, this is a disguise, he just wants Brother Chao to confront his brother-in-law, but he is embarrassed to say it." ”

Brother Chao said: "Yes, anyway, I'm not talking nonsense, it's just like that, when I see his brother-in-law, I see his brother-in-law, it doesn't matter." ”

Only then did I understand Chen Zhonghai's intentions, and I couldn't help but admire Wang Yang and Brother Chao's wit, I said: "Brother Chao, why did you get along with Xiaoxi in the first place?" I think your IQ is more compatible with our joyful eyes. ”

Xiao Xi listened to my nonsense happily on the side, and Brother Chao and Wang Yang glanced at me with the same contempt, and both of them looked too lazy to take care of my posture.

slipped all the way downstairs to Brother Chao's new home, and everyone said goodbye and went back to their respective homes.

I slipped to the bus stop, waited for a while and didn't see the car, the wine surged, a sleepiness hit, I thought about it, I just had the luxury of taking a taxi, today I have spent a lot of money on the treat, not bad.

It happened that a taxi came by at this time, so I reached out and stopped it. After getting in the car, I said to the driver, "Hello master, let's go to the Love Garden." ”

The taxi driver started the car with a yes, and within three minutes of driving, the driver accosted me and said, "Where do you live?" I knew that these taxi drivers loved to talk to their passengers, so I casually replied, "yes." ”

When the driver heard my answer, he continued, "Your neighborhood is very interesting. I asked him a little uncertainly, "You... What do you mean? ”

The driver asked, "You're not a local, are you?" I said, "No, my hometown is from another province, and now I live in a rented house in that community." "Oh...", the driver seemed to realize something, but he just said "oh" but stopped talking.

This piqued my curiosity, and I asked, "What did you mean when you said that our community is interesting?" The driver chuckled and said, "Nothing... It's some time ago, I had a night shift, three o'clock in the morning, passing by outside your community, I saw that they were still singing at that time, and there were still a lot of audiences, people in your community love traditional arts, were you watching that day? ”

After the driver finished speaking, I thought about it carefully, he should be talking about the pair of good-looking men and women who just returned to the community, and I also called Brother Chao and them at the dinner, and the main content of the dinner also includes singing.

But I remember it didn't seem to be over before 10 p.m., right? Could it be that after I drank too much that day, the neighbors were in a hurry until after 3 a.m.?

I remember that when I went out the next day, the outside had already been cleaned, and according to the driver, the people in the community were too energetic, right? Or is there a dedicated person in charge of cleaning?

Thinking of this, although I felt a little strange, I didn't think too deeply, because I thought of another thing, so I asked the driver with a local accent: "Master, I heard that the community I live in is a demolished and rebuilt community, do you know what this place is like?" ”

After I asked, the driver said, "It turns out... It seems to be an ordinary residential area, right? But their house doesn't seem to be the same as other places, I forget what's going on, a friend of mine used to say what your piece of feng shui is, I don't believe that, I can't remember. ”

I looked at the ornaments in front of his taxi, Maitreya Buddha, peace charms or something, there are a lot of them, and I smiled: "Why don't you believe this, why do you still get so many amulets or something?" The driver said nonchalantly: "It was my daughter-in-law who got it, she believed this, and the two of us drove this car in reverse shifts, alas, life is not easy." ”

Then, without waiting for me to ask again, the driver turned the conversation to his junior high school child, which became a complaint, and I tried to change the subject several times without success, so I had to listen to his complaints.

Listening to the driver talk about his children's fights, early love, truancy, Internet addiction, comparisons, etc., it feels as if educating children is the hardest thing.

But you can also hear between the lines, he has never educated the child, when he doesn't drive, he plays poker with others, and doesn't do anything else, he scolds the child if he makes a mistake, and scolds him without content and without the central idea.

As for his wife, she is basically the same as him.

Alas, if you don't raise it, whose fault is it?
