Chapter 8: Accidents
But after his father helped him pay off his gambling debts, there were business problems, and in just a few months, he was even forced to declare bankruptcy, Dongzi was also worried about the family's affairs, and it was easy for people to escape from reality when they were under pressure - Dongzi, the kid, gambled again, and after owing tens of thousands of gambling debts again, his father knew that he was so angry that he was hospitalized.
After Dongzi's mother helped him pay off his gambling debts, she warned Dongzi that she would not give him a penny in the next year, and if he didn't resume gambling, let him go home, otherwise he would not be his son.
"Then you're gambling again now?"
I couldn't help but glance at the hotel, and Dongzi immediately said righteously: "What are you talking about, I haven't gambled for several months, and this time it's a real quit...... It's just that the money is used to spending lavishly, and the living expenses of a month are gone in two days, so I was hungry and ate the overlord meal in this restaurant. β
I stared at Dongzi silently, and suddenly thought that I was now lacking a helper, should I pull Dongzi into the gang? Of course, I can't let Dongzi know about this now, but it shouldn't be a problem to pull him as an assistant for me, right?
This kid is tall and big, and if he really sees it, he can block it for me. I naturally know the way to let Dongzi join the gang, we have been friends for many years, and I don't know what works best for him.
"Dongzi, how long do you have to work here to settle the arrears?"
Dongzi said: "It's over today, but if you don't ask for leave to come out to see you, it is estimated that you will have to work until tomorrow day." β
Nodding silently, I thought for a moment and then proposed to Dongzi: "Dongzi, I think you don't have a serious job now, right?" β
Dongzi glanced at me and said, "If Lao Tzu has a serious job, he will eat a fart, a bully meal." β
"Then do you want to do a big career with me, if you do it well, your benefits are absolutely indispensable." I thought about the rich rewards I could get when I completed all the requirements of the three missions, and I squinted my eyes and smiled kindly.
After carefully reading the contents of the ghost assistant, I understood that this quest system is an unlock mode, and after the completion of the D level, you can connect to the C level, and after the C level, it is the B level...... The more you unlock it, the more difficult it will be, but at the same time, the rewards you can get will also increase.
Money, of course, is needless to say, in addition, there are many mysterious, contrary to science things exist, and these things naturally belong to me, as for Dongzi...... This kid has two hobbies, one is to love money, and the other is to love beautiful women. But are you afraid that you won't have a woman if you have money?
"Big business? What are you doing now, boy? Also in business? You don't look like you're doing business......"
Dongzi looked at me curiously, as if she didn't believe my words.
"It's not a business, strictly speaking, it's a thing to deal with, but Dongzi, I can't tell you much about this, it's really a problem."
Dongzi saw what I said vaguely, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Damn, are you kid telling me about tomb robbing?" β
I smiled and said, "It's not impossible, but you don't have to do this kind of thing right nowβin a word, Dongzi, this thing is indeed quite dangerous, but as long as it is done well, the benefits will definitely be indispensable to you, do you do it or not?" β
Dongzi looked at me with a look of struggle, but in the end, he gritted his teeth fiercely, nodded emphatically and said, "Hangzi, I'll do it with you!" I can trust you kid, you're not the kind of person who betrays your friends! I'll be honest with you, now I also need to do a big job again to prove myself to my family! β
I patted Dongzi on the shoulder with a very touched look and said, "Good brother, I didn't make you a friend in vain, then I will contact you at noon tomorrow." β
After I finished speaking, I silently added in my heart, I'm sorry, brother, this time I really invited you over to be my bodyguard.
After separating from Dongzi, I also went straight back to the house, and I didn't go to Aunt Liu's house again at night.
According to the requirements of the mission, the investigation of the truth hidden in the house of the mother and son was to be carried out at night, but I thought that it would only increase the danger by venturing there without any preparation, and it was better to wait until Dongzi helped before going.
At noon on another day, I was waiting for Dongzi at the door of yesterday's small restaurant, and at 12 o'clock Dongzi came out of the store on time, with several buns in his hand and two stuffed in his mouth.
Just like what I did before, I helped Dongzi get a medical qualification certificate, and anti-justice work has always been lacking, and it is very easy to get it. After getting the qualification certificate, when I was about to go to Aunt Liu's house with Dongzi, I met Sister Wang.
Originally, I wanted to go up and say hello, but I saw that Sister Wang had become a little different from yesterday, she was startled when she saw me, and then her face looked very unnatural, and she kept avoiding my eyes.
I saw that something was strange, so I didn't let Sister Wang escape, so I went up and grabbed Sister Wang and asked. At the beginning, I forgot that I didn't want to tell me the truth, and always played haha with me, but as I kept asking, Sister Wang seemed to be a little broken, covering her face and crying.
"Sister Wang, what's the matter, you and I can explain it well, it's useless for you to just cry, don't you say?"
Dongzi and I stood in front of Sister Wang, and we both saw the look of doubt in each other's eyes.
After crying for a while, Sister Wang's mood was also calmed down, and then she looked at me in fear, sobbed and whispered, "This, I can tell you this...... But Zhang Hang, you must not tell anyone again, no, or I will really be finished......"
"Okay, I will never tell others, Sister Wang, you can rest assured, you hurry up and tell me what happened?"
After glancing at me, Sister Wang sighed deeply and slowly talked about what happened. It turned out that after separating from me at noon yesterday, a new female college student volunteer came to the hospital in the afternoon, named Xiuxiu, who was very beautiful and very enthusiastic and kind.
Sister Wang liked her at first, but there was soon friction between the two - this girl named Xiuxiu was a little too upright, Sister Wang had been volunteering for more than a day or two, but she had been finding fault with Sister Wang, to put it bluntly, Sister Wang was not allowed to deduct small profits from it.
In fact, this kind of thing is well known to the old volunteers, and even if they are deducted, they don't have much money, and they don't do their best when they go to work, so they can get this money with peace of mind.
This is back such a female college student who has no eyesight, Sister Wang was accused by her in front of many people, and her face couldn't hold back, and the reason was actually on the female college student again, and Sister Wang had some grudges against her. In the afternoon of the same day, she directly asked the girl named Xiuxiu to go to Aunt Liu's house to work alone, and she went without saying a word.
"I'll go, Aunt Liu, did you really let her go alone?"
I looked at Sister Wang, who looked scared, and suddenly remembered the strange scene I saw in the bathroom yesterday. I've heard Sister Wang say before that young female volunteers don't want to go to Aunt Liu's house to work, and even if they do, they go in pairs.
But there is a reason for this, although it was not passed on, I still plucked the truth out from the mouth of Sister Wang, an old volunteer who has been working for nearly 20 years - it is said that there were also a few brave female volunteers who went to Aunt Liu's house alone, but they never came back after that.
Once this matter gets bigger, it's not good for anyone, so the matter is also suppressed by some people's intentions. But Sister Wang is not an uninformed person, she clearly knows that it is very dangerous to go to Aunt Liu's house alone, but she still let Xiuxiu, a girl who just came, go by herself, which is inevitably too impulsive.
Maybe the anger on my face was a little obvious, Sister Wang cried and grabbed my arm, and said: "Child, I really didn't let her go with bad intentions, I was really angry at the time, I wanted to scare her, and in the afternoon, I felt a little dangerous and found Aunt Liu's house, but I ......"
"Just what?" I asked hurriedly.
A look of panic flashed in Sister Wang's eyes, and she said: "When I went over, Xiuxiu was not at Aunt Liu's house, I asked Aunt Liu where Xiuxiu was, but Aunt Liu said that there were no young female volunteers at all, and she didn't see ......."
I gasped, felt my scalp tingle, and even felt a strange smile in my mind, the faceless face that appeared in the toilet.
Sister Wang said that she seemed to be very scared here, and her emotions were a little excited, "Although the child named Xiuxiu is too upright, she is not the kind of person who goes back on her word, I am 100% sure that she went to Aunt Liu's house, but she has not come back since then...... The call was empty, and she didn't open the door when she found her house, me, I really don't know what to do......"
Dongzi listened to it all the time, patted me on the shoulder, and said suspiciously: "Hangzi, I said that this thing sounds suspenseful enough?" Why, the lame old woman in the relationship is a man-eating devil? β
I shook my head, unsure of what was going on - but it must have something to do with the weird face in the toilet.
Sister Wang covered her face painfully after listening to Dongzi's words and said, "No, Aunt Liu is not that kind of person...... Every time I go to Aunt Liu's house, not only me, but all the nurses who go feel a little strange, but it's not Aunt Liu, it's something else......
After Sister Wang finished speaking, Dongzi and I left, and quietly inquired about Xiuxiu with other young female volunteers in the hospital, and they all knew that Xiuxiu went to Aunt Liu's house, but because Xiuxiu was a new employee who had just arrived, no one was particularly close to her, and they didn't know her very well.
After asking for a long time and not asking for any useful information, I left the hospital with Dongzi, and on the way Dongzi asked me if I had been to Aunt Liu's house, and I said that I had already been, but I was good, and Sister Wang was good, and I didn't encounter any harm.
Originally, I thought that it would be enough to just investigate the truth, but now there may be a murder in this strange mother-son house, and I can't help but have a headache. This kind of weird thing happens, and no matter how you think about it, it must have something to do with the human face in the toilet bowl in the bathroom.
After thinking about it for a long time, I discussed it with Dongzi, and considering the possibility of encountering dirty things, Dongzi and I first went to the hardware store and bought a kitchen knife to hide on our waists, of course, for self-defense. Then I went to the nearby Baishi shop to find the boss and bought two spirit runes to bring with them.
