Chapter 53: Bad Old Man

When Ke Junxia began to resume work, all the staff unanimously disagreed that he would immediately go out to work, which made him feel a little reluctant, so he pushed the boat down, and then he received his first guest, Mr. Igo, the liaison of the large board of directors.

As usual, Mr. Igo only made a brief visit, but it was significant, and he brought with him the latest additional authorization from the Grand Board of Directors, and Room 405 was free to investigate evidence that might be related to the creatures of SCP-405.

"In fact, the big board doesn't understand the direction of your investigation." "But the big board also believes in your professional ability, so please get it done as soon as possible," Mr. Igo said. ”

Mr. Igo took his leave after saying this, and he seemed to be very busy in the liaison work of many agencies.

The second person to visit Ke Junxia was Niuniu's father, Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng is a shrewd businessman, a wealthy middle-class man, who runs a construction company that has been able to maintain a small income even in the recession of these years. This was before Niu Niu's wayward love happened.

After Niuniu's accident, Mr. Feng didn't have the energy to take care of the company, and when he heard some rumors, he simply sold the company while the company was still making money, and then transferred most of his assets to the neighboring city-states through some financial means.

Mr. Feng was also lucky, and the day before the financial gate of the Metropolitan Bank was closed, Mr. Feng stopped all business and began to convert the remaining cash into gold and silver currency, and despite paying a large commission, he did not cause any further losses.

Originally, Mr. Feng wanted to sell the house as well, but before he could do it, a big riot happened, so he entrusted a real estate company to do an indefinite listing, and then he took the gold and silver and his wife and simply moved to Room 405 of the Special Investigation Bureau, of course, there is a perfect reason to accompany his daughter.

Mr. Feng's arrival is still beneficial, with the company of his mother, the pressure on Coconut and others has been reduced a lot, and they can use more energy to track down the case, and after the riot, the workers and materials are not easy to find, Mr. Feng used his relationship to find people and materials for 405 decoration partitions, and only charged the cost.

However, Mr. Feng doesn't have much time here, most of the time he carries a bag and runs outside all day, but no one knows what he runs, and he never talks about it.

The visit was obviously quite formal, although Mr. Feng was dressed very casually, after all, no one cared too much about what he wore these days.

Mr. Feng opened the briefcase on Ke Junxia's desk, took out another coin box from the briefcase, and then took out a piece of red flannel and spread it on the desk, then opened the coin box and began to count the gold dollars on the flannel, a total of ten, neatly placed in two rows in front of Ke Junxia.

This is a lot of money, which is equivalent to ten days of office expenses in the entire 405 room plus Ke Junxia's allowance.

Ke Junxia looked at Mr. Feng with a serious puzzled look.

Mr. Feng said slowly: "That's why I trust you, when you see money, you don't have that kind of greed in your eyes. ”

Ke Junxia said: "It's not my own, why should I be greedy? ”

Mr. Feng pushed the flannel to Ke Junxia a little more, and then said, "This is yours, this is a commissioned fixed money." ”

Ke Junxia said: "If it is a commission, you should go and talk to Lin Quan, she is responsible for this." ”

Mr. Feng said, "But I can only tell you what I want to say next. ”

Ke Junxia said: "Then this commission must be difficult, you say." ”

Mr. Feng said: "Actually, there are three things, the first is that I am going to go on a long trip, and please take care of my wife and daughter when I am away. ”

Ke Junxia said: "This is simple, as long as they don't leave here, the wind and rain outside can't come in." ”

Mr. Feng smiled and said, "This second, I know what the big board of directors means by putting Niuniu here with you, it's not all for Niuniu's safety." I hope that one day, at some point, no matter whether your case can be solved or not, let me take Niuniu away. ”

Ke Junxia thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know if the timing you mean is the same as what I understand, a person's life is always more precious than anything else. ”

Mr. Feng said: "I am relieved if you say so, if it really comes to that day, I will pay you ten times the amount here, and pay with precious metals." ”

Ke Junxia said: "You said two, and there is one more." ”

Mr. Feng's face darkened, and he said after a while: "If I don't come back from this trip, or if there is definite news that I am dead, please send them to a safe place, and then my wife will activate a password, and then you will get a large sum of money." ”

Ke Junxia was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The third thing must not happen, but since what you said is so dangerous, can I ask you, where are you going to go this time?" ”

Mr. Feng sighed and said, "It's okay to tell you, anyway, I'm also here for my livelihood, and I'm going to go to the Blackwater City-State." ”

"Blackwater City-State? The kingdom of Naga? This is what Ke Junxia didn't expect, because the riot not long ago was caused by Naga, although Mr. Feng can be regarded as a fearful and kind person, but he also has a lot of complaints about Naga's parade, thinking that Naga is just a person who has nothing to do and dies, and it would be good to move away quietly by himself, why do you have to do this.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, he was already ready to go to Naga's kingdom to make a living.

Mr. Feng continued, "Naga needs a large number of architects to build a city-state, and I think my skills will be put to good use there, and in any case, my current wealth is not enough for our family to sit on the mountain." ”

Ke Junxia said: "Your idea is not bad, I have dealt with Naga, this race renews commitments, keeps credibility, as long as the rules are met, it is still very easy to get along." Since you're going to Blackwater City-State, you might as well do something for me. ”

Mr. Feng said: "Don't say whether you can help or not, just leave it to me." ”

Ke Junxia took out the metal box that Du Ziteng entrusted the coconut to him from the drawer, opened it and took out the pendant, the book and the copper key, then put the copper key back, and then put in a gravity knife and a letter.

Then he said to Mr. Feng: "When you go to the city-state of Blackwater, find a way to meet a Naga named Du Ziteng, give him this box, and tell him that some of the things in the box I have accepted, and some are too heavy for me to accept, but I am willing to be friends with him forever." ”

Mr. Feng took the box and said, "I will definitely help you transfer it." ”

Ke Junxia said again: "It's not peaceful outside now, and the Heishui City-State is far away, or I'll send someone to send you." ”

Mr. Feng said: "No, let's be honest, I didn't go alone this time, a few of our partners rented a private airship, and there were two gunners, and it only took half a day to arrive if it went well." ”

"Have a nice trip." Ke Junxia stood up from behind the table and shook Mr. Feng's hand goodbye, and asked Hao Qiying to send him out.

When Hao Qiying came in, he saw Jin Yuan on the table, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, but he immediately returned to his usual appearance.

After sending Mr. Feng away, Ke Junxia filled out a consignment and asked Lin Quan to come in and enter the account, Lin Quan wrapped the gold yuan, and the office door was knocked twice, and then Coconut hurriedly pushed the door in and said, "I found him!" Already retired, in a nursing home! ”

Ke Junxia was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stood up and said, "Take me right away!" ”

The coconut said, "I have to bring some money, but the old man won't say anything, but he says over and over again: I'm just a helpless old man." ”

Ke Junxia grabbed the bag of gold yuan and said, "Money is not a problem. ”

Lin Quan snatched the money and said, "Who said it's not a problem, it's a big problem." As she spoke, she counted out five gold dollars and handed them to Ke Junxia, and then said, "I'm exchanging some silver coins for you. ”

Lin Quan is really careful.

After taking the money and bringing a gun, Ke Junxia hurriedly walked out, and before she could go out, Irina came out of her small laboratory, and when she saw Ke Junxia walking outside, she asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Ke Junxia didn't stop, and went out in a blink of an eye, leaving only one sentence: "We found that person." ”

Irina said to the coconut who hadn't gone out yet, "You take two more people, don't let him ride a motorcycle, he's still empty." ”

Coconut was really obedient and didn't let Ke Junxia ride a motorcycle, which made Ke Junxia quite disappointed.

On the street, order has been restored a lot, most of the tents on the square have been removed, many shops have opened, and there are new stores opened, most of them are "immigration consulting" and other shops.

Coconut drove to the nursing home, and on the way to Ke Junxia concisely introduced the situation, this old man's name is Gongsun Shu, he was a security guard in Xiacheng District back then, and he was quite upright, but he was punished for losing the case file, and he was not promoted and raised until he retired, and the pension was only enough to offset the cost of the nursing home, and there was not much money left.

When Ke Junxia and the others arrived, Mr. Gongsun Shu was playing checkers with Qiushuang, the old man was smiling, but Qiushuang was sad.

Seeing the arrival of Coconut and Ke Junxia, Gongsun Shu's face was even more smiling, but this smile was basically aimed at the tropical fruits of the coconut, his eyes were staring at it, and he was still spinning, it seemed that although the old man was in a wheelchair, he was really good.

Explaining the intention, the old man came up with his clichΓ© again: Alas...... What are you looking for me, I'm just a helpless old man.

Saying this several times must have been some kind of time, but in order to bargain, Ke Junxia and Coconut deliberately pretended not to understand, until the old man was in a hurry, Coconut smiled and said: "Uncle Gongsun, don't worry, where are you a helpless old man, but Aunt Huang takes care of you." ”

As she spoke, she took out a gold dollar, swirled it between her fingers, and said, "Aunt Huang."

Gongsun Shu turned his head and pretended not to see, and said, "Who hasn't seen it, when I was an escort in the bank, I was ......."

So the coconut bent down, smiled, and discharged the gold yuan on the table one by one, and when the sixth one was arranged, the old man turned his head, but the coconut was no longer taken out, and said, "How good, six or six Shun." ”

Gongsun Shu snorted, for those things, I self-destructed my future, and now it's only worth so much.

The coconut then took back a gold dollar and said, "Now it's the head of the five." ”

Gongsun Shu was anxious, and hurriedly said: "How can there be such a bargain like you." ”

The coconut took back another gold dollar and said, "Now the four are happy." ”

Gongsun Shucai opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, the coconut was about to reach out again, but the old man jumped up from the wheelchair, his whole body was lying on the table, pressed Jin Yuan and said, "I can't take it anymore, take it again and take my life directly." ”

Coconut said, "Whoever wants your life, we want your testimony and what you have kept." ”

Gongsun Shu said: "Okay, good, I'll give it to you, anyway, I don't have a few days to live." As he spoke, he slid back into his wheelchair and hugged all four gold dollars back by the way.

The coconut said, "You have taken the money, it is time to give it to us." ”

Gongsun Shu smiled, put his hand into his pants to touch it, and after touching it for a long time, he found a key and said, "The bank manager has another one, and he is not the right person." Also, I owe two months of storage fees, you pay it" After speaking, he looked at Jin Yuan in his arms and said: "What kind of world is this, there is no place to reason, and in a blink of an eye, one-third of the effort is missing." ”

Ke Junxia saw that this old man was actually quite interesting, so he made a color to the coconut, so the coconut said: "Mr. Gongsun, in fact, we didn't want to deduct your money, because we were afraid that the gold yuan would be too big for you to use, so we prepared some silver coins for you." ”

As she spoke, she took out another money bag of silver coins, and the old man snatched it up, smiling at once.

Coconut said, "We also need you to make a transcript of your memories." ”

"No problem, no problem," said the old man, happily counting the silver coins, "but before you take notes, she." He pointed to Qiushuang, "She hasn't given me the bet for the last game of chess just now, so it's better to cash it out before getting down to business." ”

Coconut glanced at Qiushuang dissatisfied, let you protect him here, why did you bet on a checkers?

However, Autumn Frost was embarrassed.

Ke Junxia said: "Qiushuang, you hurry up and cash it out to the old man, we have to rush to the bank." ”

Qiushuang said: "Director Xiao Ke, you don't know ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, Coconut said angrily: "Hurry up and cash in!" Don't waste time. ”

Qiushuang had to walk over with an aggrieved face, and came to the old man, the old man smiled, his eyes were shining, Qiushuang bent down and tugged at his neckline at a fast speed, and then scolded: "Enough is enough, old villain!" ”

Although it was only a flash in the pan, it was enough to make the old man's eyes keep praising it: This life is enough.

I see. This old man is not simple, a game of checkers made Qiushuang fall into the way.
