The police uncle sat there flipping through a book and watching, and from time to time he took out his mobile phone to look at the time.

Tell the truth,

He was in the store, and it was very stressful for Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying.

There is a feeling of thorns in the back.

This is a good policeman, he is upright, and he wears that police uniform, which can make almost all evil people retreat.

But Zhou Ze couldn't retreat, after all, this was his own store.

Fortunately, Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying were not low-level lonely ghosts or mountain spirits and wild monsters after all, although they were a little uncomfortable, they did not substantially hurt.

On the contrary, Zhou Ze also has a heartfelt respect for this person.

People's hearts are separated from the belly, not false,

But as a ghost, I am more sensitive to this feeling.

Therefore, the batch of books that Zhou Ze gave him at the beginning was not because he wanted to tease the other party, but because Zhou Ze preconceived that this kind of policeman who can raise a heroic and righteous body should also like to read some serious and valuable books.

But later Zhou Ze found out that the police are also people;

is a human being, and he has some interests and hobbies, such as the police uncle in front of him, who sits there and reads novels very immersively.

"Uncle, drink tea."

The white warbler timidly brought over with a teacup.

"Oh, thank you." The police uncle took the teacup, looked at Bai Yingying, and asked, "Aren't you going to school?" ”

"It's a holiday today."

Bai Yingying didn't dare to say that she didn't go to school and was messing around, so she didn't have trouble in the future.

For the one in front of her, the white warbler was a little afraid, and even more serious than Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze is a contemporary and can substitute into this mode of thinking, the one in front of him certainly makes him instinctively afraid, but in fact, on the other hand, it also means that the person in front of him is more worthy of respect.

And Bai Yingying just felt that her heart was beating a little fast, and after handing over the tea, she immediately ran to the second floor, not wanting to come down again.

"Boss, how much?" The police uncle looked at Zhou Ze.

"Look at it." Zhou Ze said.

"This won't work, forget it, let's settle it when I leave, they estimate that they will pick me up in another half an hour." The police uncle sat down again, touched his pocket, and was stunned for a moment.

As an old smoking gun, Zhou Ze understood and handed over a cigarette.

"Thank you."

The police uncle thanked Zhou Ze for helping him light the fire, and then the two smoked cigarettes together.

Cigarettes are indeed a bridge for men to socialize, from strangers to smokers, and it is convenient to blow a few awesome words.

"Isn't your business very good here?" Uncle police asked.

"Make do with it." Zhou Ze replied.

"Yo, I remember who you are." The police uncle patted his head and said, "The last time there was a fire, you bravely rushed into the fire to save people, right?" ”

Zhou Ze nodded.

"Look at my memory, by the way, I was going to send you a pennant in the last bureau, why didn't you pick it up?"

"I don't want to be in the limelight." Zhou Ze replied.

The police uncle nodded, and said helplessly: "Indeed, in the end, no one expected that the arsonist was actually one of the heroes who rushed into the fire to save people." ”

"Damn, the taxi is really gone, it's not easy to take a taxi at this point, I can't take a taxi, Lao Zhou, it seems that we really have to move, this bird doesn't where you can't even get a taxi."

I'm missing a wire here, and I have to go back and buy it again, otherwise the main machine won't be installed. ”

Xu Qinglang walked in while complaining, and then saw the police uncle sitting in the bookstore.

"Yo, Zhao Ju!"

Xu Qinglang obviously knew this policeman, and immediately showed a smile on his face, and said kindly:

"Zhao Ju, your body seems to be very tough. Hey, I remember seeing the news about you a while ago, what was written, I forgot, but it seems that you have made meritorious service and received medals, yes, it should be like this, congratulations! ”

"You little thing, you're getting better and better." The police uncle stood up with a smile and patted Xu Qinglang's shoulder, looking very intimate, "Are you still stealing chickens and touching dogs now?" ”

"How dare you, my family has been demolished, and more than 20 suites have been divided, and now I am a citizen who pays taxes legally." Xu Qinglang replied.

"You ......," Zhao Ju pointed at Xu Qinglang, "You can be regarded as having come to the bitter end." ”

"Zhao Ju, your son is about to get married, why don't I give you a wedding room for your son?"

"Stinky boy, dare to say such bastard words in front of me again, believe it or not, I'll grab you in the bureau again?" Zhao Ju scolded solemnly.

"Hey, I'll open a noodle shop here, and I'm not giving you a bribe, if I didn't have you, I don't think I would have been able to support the demolition of the old house and those lands, I will honor you for a suite, it should be."

"Just live your life well."

"You know?" Zhou Ze asked.

Zhao Ju nodded and said: "I know, I don't know, this kid has been stealing things on the road since he was less than ten years old, touching people's wallets, and I have been caught many times."

When I caught him for the first time, I also told my police that I had caught a female thief, who knew that it was actually a leader! ”

"If you didn't know anything before, don't mention it." Xu Qinglang didn't want Zhou Ze to hear his previous ugly things on the side.

"Mention, you have to mention, you kid has done a lot of things before, those mistakes, you can't forget, you have to keep them in mind, warn yourself not to make them again in the future, good days are not easy to come by."

"Zhao Ju, I understand." Xu Qinglang nodded.

"By the way, I sent you to Master Sun as an apprentice before, how is Master Sun's health now?" Zhao Ju asked.

"It's okay, but his shop has been passed on to his son, and I have come out to do it myself."

It turned out that Xu Qinglang opened a noodle shop for this reason, there was an accident in his family at the beginning, and he almost became a gangster in society, and was arrested and educated several times by Zhao Ju, who was still the director of the police station at the time, and Zhao Ju finally arranged him into a noodle restaurant as an apprentice, which allowed him to get on the right path.

Otherwise, the current Xu Qinglang may have to add another suite, that is, a prison cell.

"Bureau Zhao, how did you get here?" After speaking, Xu Qinglang also reminded in a whisper: "Let me tell you, there are few people in this place, and the feng shui is not good." ”

The implication is that Zhou Ze is a bookstore, and there are many more dead people than living people who come to read books.

Zhou Ze raised his eyebrows beside him,

What do you mean?

"Stinky boy, you still haven't changed your problem of pretending to be a ghost, I was born under the red flag, and I grew under the red flag, so I don't believe in these crooked and evil statements.

Besides, sit up straight, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if you don't do anything wrong.

Even if there are really ghosts in this world, it is the ghosts who are afraid of me, so I will not be afraid of ghosts! ”

Zhou Ze touched the tip of his nose beside him, you are really right.

"Bureau Zhao, I'll cook a few dishes with my hands in person, we haven't met again for many years, two minutes tonight?"

"I can't do it, someone will pick me up later, I'm going on a business trip to other provinces, I'm just afraid of boredom on the road, so I specially bought two novels and books to read on the way."

"You're all in charge, and you're still so busy." Xu Qinglang was a little regretful.

"It's good to be busy, I'm a policeman, if the police slack off, the people won't be able to rest."

Zhao Ju scratched his head, put the police hat back on, then took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and said:

"It's almost time, they should be coming to pick me up, I'll go first."

"You're good to go."

Zhou Ze thought to himself that he had finally sent this radiant god away.

Zhao Ju walked to the door, only then did he think of something, and reached into his pocket as if he was about to take his wallet:

"Look at my memory, I took the book and drank tea, and I almost forgot to give money."

"Look at what you see, I gave it." Xu Qinglang immediately stepped forward and said, "This boss grew up eating my food, his own people." ”

"............" Zhou Ze.

"This can't work, why do you want to pay me for the books I bought?" Zhao Ju disagreed.

"Okay, I'll visit you in person in a few days, and ask you to pay me back the money for my books, and I'll have a meal too, how about it?" Xu Qinglang pleaded: "You have to give me a reason to turn the turnstile door, right?" ”

"Come on, your aunt's skills are still good, I may not be at home at that time, let your aunt cook a dish for you, you can also learn something, just say what I said." In the future, we will strive to open this noodle restaurant into a hotel.

People have to have some pursuits, don't lie on those houses and wait to die, that's not fun. ”

"Hey, what am I doing when you're not home?" Xu Qinglang said with a smile.

"Alright, I'm leaving, goodbye!" Zhao Ju waved his hand to Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang, pushed open the door of the bookstore and left.

"Boss, there are a lot of cars outside." Bai Yingying, who was originally on the second floor, walked down the stairs and shouted to the people in the bookstore.

"What car?" Xu Qinglang asked, "The team that people got married, right?" ”

"How can there be eight wedding cars, and the sedan chair has a card." Zhou Ze teased Xu Qinglang.

"It's not a wedding car, it's a taxi, there are a lot of taxis, and the whole road is a taxi." Bai Yingying said, she could see clearly from the window sill on the second floor.

"Taxi?" Xu Qinglang was stunned for a moment and said, "Damn, I said why is it so difficult to take a taxi today, the taxis are out of sight, they are going to organize a strike and march, right?" ”

Suddenly, Xu Qinglang was stunned for a moment,

As if he had thought of something, he immediately took out his phone and began to rummage, and finally, he found it.

It was a piece of news from half a month ago.

The first page of the news is a large photo of Zhao Bureau, and the following story is that a car theft gang that traveled to many provinces was caught in Tongcheng and was found by a deputy chief of the police department who went home from work.

And three days later, the police wiped out this criminal gang, and no one was missed, and this car stealing criminal gang was mostly stealing taxis, and there were still two taxi drivers in their hands.

Zhao Ju has already been sacrificed.

"He's dead......... I remember that I watched the news and was sad for a long time, but as soon as I saw others in front of me, I subconsciously felt that he was still alive and didn't think of this news at all. ”

After speaking, Xu Qinglang looked at Zhou Ze angrily:

"He's a ghost, he's not a living person, why didn't you remind me just now, I still haven't told him a lot!"

Zhou Ze was also stunned and said, "He's a ghost?" ”

"You didn't notice? Are you the ghost you didn't notice? ”

"I observed him when he came in, and he was human."

"How could it be human!" Xu Qinglang almost roared.

He could say goodbye to the other party before, but just now he only cared about his own routine!

"What did I lie to you, I looked closely, and I really didn't find out that he was actually a ghost."

"I didn't find out either." The white warbler came over at this time.

At this time, on the road in front of the store,

Taxis line up in two rows side by side and move slowly, the line is so long that you can barely see the edge.

Xu Qinglang pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked out, and Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying also went out together.

Nearly 1,000 taxis spontaneously organized together to form a convoy to move forward, and the brothers and sisters changed the habit of overtaking at a fast speed.

This

They drive very slowly, very slowly.

At the rear end of the fleet,

There was a hearse, and mourning music was playing in the hearse,

At the same time, there is a large black and white photo hanging above the hearse, which is the posthumous portrait of Zhao Ju.

"Is it a funeral today?" Xu Qinglang said abruptly, "So he said that he was going on a business trip, and someone was going to pick him up, is this funeral procession?"

But how could I not see that he was a ghost, and you couldn't even see it. ”

"There are those who live, but who are dead;

There are people who are dead, but they are still alive.

Perhaps, that's why. Zhou Ze said.

"Ugh." Hearing this, Xu Qinglang nodded, and then waved his hand at the long convoy, he was saying goodbye.

At the same time, I was also a little relieved, no wonder it was so difficult to take a taxi in Tongcheng today.

Zhou Ze looked at the car with the portrait on it and drove slowly past,

said in my heart:

"Go all the way."
