Chapter 206: We're All the Same
On the steps of the flower garden in front of the hospital, Zhou Ze sat there silently, his eyes kept staring at his feet.
In fact
At this time, you can't see anything at all, and you can't even touch it, but the picture in the mirror before has already said everything.
This chain is on his ankle, and the sound he heard indirectly before is actually the sound drawn by his own walking.
But there is also one thing that Zhou Ze doesn't understand, that is, when he was in the detention center last night, he obviously heard a sound in the aisle outside first, which at least proves that the chain was not on his feet at that time.
This means, then, that in the short moment when the sound of chains suddenly appeared around him, someone, or something, tied the chains to his feet.
As for himself, he was unaware, and if he hadn't even put the talisman paper in his crotch on the mirror first, he probably wouldn't have realized the chain he was still desperately running to find before.
It's on your own!
After taking a taxi again and returning to the bookstore, Zhou Ze sat down behind the bar.
He didn't have the heart to take a shower now and then call Bai Yingying to go upstairs and go back to the room to sleep with him,
I don't have the heart to tinker with any flower juice on the other side,
I don't have the heart to read the newspaper, drink coffee and bask in the sun,
From time to time he lowered his head and looked at the surface of his feet,
And then raise your head from time to time,
Look to the sky.
In short, it's very melancholy.
Lao Dao told Bai Yingying about the chain, and after Bai Yingying heard it, she was also surprised.
Moreover, because of the silence of the boss, everyone in the bookstore is silent.
The door of the bookstore was locked by Lao Dao first, and it was inconvenient for any guests to come in at this time, and as for ghosts, there was no difference between the door open and closed anyway for ghosts who wanted to come in.
He poured himself a glass of water and took a handful of peanuts for the monkey, Lao Dao looked at the boss who was still bowing his head over there, and he suddenly wanted to laugh.
This scene,
It's kind of like the emperor's new clothes.
The boss said he had a chain on his foot,
Unseen
I can't touch it,
Isn't it a copy of the emperor's new clothes?
After returning to the bookstore, Zhou Ze asked for the talisman paper from Lao Dao, found a mirror, and put it on the ground in front of him, which just reflected Zhou Ze's feet in the mirror.
At the same time, a rusty chain is revealed,
He exists,
A real existence,
There is no doubt about it.
Lao Dao also came over to take a look at it at first, and Xu Qinglang and Bai Yingying also came over to take a look, as if they were looking at a novel thing.
For now, at least, the chain doesn't seem to do any harm, except to make you unhappy.
But Boss Zhou, as the party concerned, doesn't think so, he doesn't want his feet to be shackled, even if he can't touch them, he can't usually see them, but he has a pimple in his heart.
And look at the picture reflected in the mirror with talisman paper, the dirty rust and the pitholes that make the scalp tingle are even more difficult to accept for Boss Zhou, who has a habit of cleanliness.
Tell the truth,
If this chain is made of pure gold or silver, or if it is a trendy anti-design style, maybe Boss Zhou can still feel more comfortable, at least it is not like a thorn in his back.
"Boss, could it be that because you are considered a criminal, you have shackles on your feet?
Do you remember the suicidal teacher who wore a tall hat with a 'human-faced beast' heart?
You can't get his hat off. ”
The white warbler guessed.
Xu Qinglang nodded beside him, it seems that he does have this.
The crowd is golden, and the words of the people are terrible.
"Impossible, no."
Zhou Ze shook his head and denied this speculation,
"The teacher's thing was that it was very fermented on the Internet at that time, and the crowd was surging, and I was just suspicious of me by some police officers this time, and there was no way to compare the volume, so this should not happen."
Yes, because Zhou Ze can also confirm that this chain was not on his body at the beginning, it used to be from far and near.
Lao Dao leaned over and pointed to the small mirror in front of Zhou Ze, and said, "Boss, to tell you from the heart, I think you are very handsome with an iron chain, think about it, when you drive Wushuang, you look like that............"
As he spoke, Lao Dao still lowered his arms and his expression was dull, swaying like a zombie for a few moments, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the surface of his feet, and said:
"If there is an extra chain under your feet at this time, this is really like the crazy eight gods of the King of Fighters fighting in the game machine room before."
Saying the old way and propping up his arms,
made a move to explode energy,
Immediately, it seemed like a childlike innocence and it seemed that he was really immersed in the atmosphere of playing arcades in the game room before, waving his arms back and forth, and muttering:
"Obscure............ Obscure............ Obscure............"
Zhou Ze turned his face sideways, looked at the old Tao who was immersed in his own world next to him, and said at the same time:
"Old way, bookstore floor ............"
"Ah, Deadpool just cleaned up." Lao Dao immediately answered, since he had Deadpool, Lao Dao's job was much easier.
"Oh."
Zhou Ze nodded and continued:
"Isn't Tongcheng in Shenchuang Sanitary City, you go and clean up the streets in front of our bookstore, this is also what our citizens should do."
"............" old way.
Seeing that Zhou Ze had been staring at him, not like he was joking, Lao Dao could only pick up the broom and mop with a bitter face and walked out of the bookstore to clean up.
Bai Yingying squatted next to Zhou Ze, massaged Zhou Ze's calves back and forth with one hand, pouted, and asked, "Boss, what do you think will be the reason, someone framed him?" ”
"I don't know, I'm a little confused now, so I decided to go back to the detention center first."
As he spoke, Zhou Ze took out the business card that Zhang Yanfeng gave him last night and dialed it according to the phone number above.
The call was quickly connected,
A deep voice came from the other side:
"Hey, who's that?"
"The one who went into the detention center yesterday." Zhou Ze replied.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"I still want to go in today, can I?"
"Are you willing to confess your crimes?"
"I'm not guilty." Zhou Ze repeated.
"Huh."
Zhou Ze was patient and said: "Let's be honest, I'm a writer, and staying in the detention center last night made me feel very inspired, I hope ............"
"Toot Toot .................."
The other side hung up the phone.
Boss Zhou looked at his mobile phone and suddenly felt a sense of confusion.
Looking at the old road outside that is cleaning the streets, there is a feeling that retribution is coming so quickly.
Zhou Ze could only call back again, and the other party answered the phone again, but this time the other end of the phone did not speak first.
"I want to go back to the detention center, I have my reasons, although I know that this request is a bit ............"
"Whoa............ Whoa.................. Whoa.................."
There was a sound on the other end of the phone,
Familiar sounds,
But because it came from the phone, the voice was a little distorted, but Zhou Ze was sure that the voice came from that side.
"Go on." Zhang Yanfeng seemed to have lit a cigarette, and when he saw that Zhou Ze stopped talking, he urged.
"Have you had insomnia and dreams, weakness and sweating, waist and leg pain recently?"
"Huh."
The other side seems to be ready to hang up again.
"Have you ever dreamed that you have shackles on your feet?" Zhou Ze asked.
The other party was stunned,
Didn't hang up the phone,
It seems that this sentence has poked at a certain knot in the other party's heart,
Shaoqing,
There was a response on the other end of the phone:
"You come to the bureau to find me, I'm in the office."
………………
When Zhou Ze appeared in Zhang Yanfeng's office, it was already night, and Zhang Yanfeng was sitting behind his desk eating food from the cafeteria, gobbling up the file in front of him.
When Zhou Ze came in, he pushed the food and the file aside first and looked at Zhou Ze.
"I'd like to hear about anklets."
"I think it's a bit inappropriate to talk to you about this kind of feudal superstition in this environment, in this place, and when you are wearing a police uniform."
"Yes, I'm off work."
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Yanfeng and Zhou Ze, who had changed into civilian clothes, walked out of the police station together, and the two walked to a small park diagonally opposite the police station, found a bench, and sat down.
"You can now treat me not as a police officer, but as an ordinary person, let's talk." Zhang Yanfeng also took the initiative to hand Zhou Ze a cigarette.
The relationship between the two changed quickly,
Before,
Zhou Ze is inside the iron railing, he is outside,
And now,
Everyone seems to have become friends,
"Cellmates".
Zhou Ze held a small mirror in his hand, with the old rune paper pasted on it, and then put the mirror on the surface of Zhang Yanfeng's feet.
The street lights in the park are not very good, a little dim,
But I can still barely see the picture in the mirror,
On Zhang Yanfeng's feet,
There is also a shackle, but this shackle is not as thick as its own, nor is it as long as its own.
It's still thicker and longer.
How is this emotional tendency strange?
"See?" Zhou Ze looked at Zhang Yanfeng.
Zhang Yanfeng's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.
"This is the first time I've seen it in earnest, and it's been more than 20 years since I often dreamed of a bracelet on my foot in my dreams."
"So, what did you do before?" Zhou Ze asked.
"With a clear conscience, I am worthy of the police uniform I wear every day, and the national emblem on my police cap." Zhang Yanfeng said loudly, "I have even slowly become accustomed to this kind of dream, in the dream, I am walking in the police station in shackles, I think this is more like a wake-up call for me."
It always reminds me that my power comes from the people and from the country, so I must not take a step beyond the thunder pool, as long as I take a wrong step, the shackles will really appear on my body in the future. ”
"Bang Bang Bang ............"
Zhou Ze applauded lightly beside him,
"So, this should be a disguised affirmation, just like the medal of the brave, only good people will have this chain?"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Yanfeng asked.
"Let's solve a problem left over from history first."
Saying,
Zhou Ze pointed the mirror at the top of his feet,
A thick and long chain appeared in the mirror,
"You can now believe that I didn't make drugs and did anything illegal or undisciplined, right?"
We
It's all the same.
