Fourth, the "Zhou Peel" gambling contract and transaction (ask for subscription)
I blurted out: "Zhou Papi! ”
I don't know if I was too nervous or too excited, but for a while, I couldn't remember his name, but called out a more familiar name for the first time.
Zhou Xicai already recognized me, and when he saw that I actually called him that, he was stunned at first, and then laughed: "It seems that the celebrity effect is still more powerful, my real name is too cheesy, but it is not very popular." ”
Although the "slip of the tongue" is unintentional, it cannot be remedied, because the more you explain, the more troublesome it becomes.
Thinking of what he had entrusted me before, I was even more ashamed in my heart, so I had to arch my hand to him: "Boss Zhou, I'm sorry, there was an accident halfway, and I couldn't ...... my nephew."
"Mr. Ding is really out of sight, there is nothing to be sorry for between you and me. I have heard all the changes you have encountered on the road, and it is fortunate that everyone is safe, and I will not say who blames whom. Moreover, Shao Xian has arrived in Beijing safely", Zhou Xicai didn't blame me, the smile on his face became thicker, "I really didn't expect to meet Mr. in this place, I'm so happy." It's inconvenient to talk outside, why don't you come in and sit? ”
Inconvenience?
I laughed in my heart, the whole carriage is almost yours, what else is inconvenient.
However, I couldn't refuse his invitation, so I nodded slightly and walked to his room. At this time, someone from the next room also walked out, looking very respectful to Zhou Xicai, it should be his subordinates, the "mess" outside, we don't need to worry about it.
In this car, it seems that he is the only one who lives, and it is an upper bunk. Because, on the three bunks, including two and the other, there are things, there are boxes, bags, boxes, and even woven bags that are stuffed to the sky.
It must be all precious things. Otherwise, even if Zhou Xicai's wealth master is big, he will not buy a soft sleeper to accommodate such a luxury for a few bags of things, and even he will be "squeezed" to the top bunk.
I didn't say anything, and followed Zhao Ya who walked in, but shouted directly: "Old man, you are so powerful, you have taken so many things by yourself." What kind of baby are they, go straight to bed. Besides, they should be overweight, right, the railroad doesn't care? ”
I was speechless for a moment. This girl, the first time we met, said so many things that were not light or heavy, and she really didn't treat herself as an outsider. Fortunately, she is young, and if I really pursue it, I can also treat it as a child's tale.
Zhou Xicai's face was really a little unnatural, his cheek twitched hard, but in the end he couldn't help but have a seizure, and explained to me with a smile: "Isn't this going to Beijing to stay for a while, I'm embarrassed to go empty-handed, so I brought some souvenirs to my friends over there." ”
"Ah, it's all souvenirs! Can you open it up and let us have a long insight? As she spoke, Zhao Ya stretched out her left hand and was about to touch the bags.
I hurriedly grabbed her and said to Zhou Xicai apologetically: "I'm sorry, Boss Zhou, this girl is small and ignorant, don't mind." Otherwise, if there's something, let's go out and talk about it. You see, there's no place to sit here. ”
"Don't go out to talk", Zhou Xicai was resolute, and then stretched out his hand to the two lower bunks and pointed to them respectively, "Since this girl likes it, the things on this will be given to you directly, I just think I am in trouble." ”
What is he doing here? Bribe us, do you have to do this?
I woke up to the fact that the "inconvenience" he was referring to turned out to be these things, which were really obscure enough. I thought he didn't want me to know what was inside, but he wasn't going to give it to us directly.
I hesitated and didn't say anything, but Zhao Ya was very happy, as if she had already regarded them as something in her pocket. She shook off my hand, leaned over to pick up a small leather bag, and unzipped it.
Bang, the contents fell out and scattered everywhere.
It's actually chips, a whole leather bag of chips! Although I haven't touched it, I've seen it in the God of Gamblers series, so I'm a little impressed.
I was stunned, and Zhao Ya was also stunned for a while, but then muttered again: "I thought it was something good, but it turned out to be a pile of broken plastic, which is neither edible nor good-looking, what do I want them to do." ”
Zhou Xicai thought that she didn't know the goods, so she picked up a chip engraved with $1000 and stuffed it into Zhao Ya's hand: "These are all chips in use, they can be exchanged at any time."
In other words, they are money!
It's a real specialty, a very, very special specialty, and few people don't like it.
A guy with the nickname "Zhou Papi", as soon as they met, he gave such a "generous gift", there should always be a reason for him.
What exactly is he trying to do?
I don't want hot money, and it's not like we don't have no way to make money.
"Boss Zhou, you are polite, it's a little too much!" I knew that he had a request for me, and I didn't want to agree, so I spoke in a more aggravated tone: "I don't have the ability to accept such a big gift." If you have anything, just say it, and I'll help if I can; If you can't help, I hope you don't force it. ”
Zhao Ya dropped her hand bag on the bunk, and she heard the smell of gunpowder in my words.
Zhou Xicai's face was cloudy, but in the end he sighed and said to me, "Brother, tell me the truth." Now I've got a tricky thing that I wouldn't have been able to keep without your help. Instead of cheapening others, it is better to give it to a friend and sell a favor. So, no matter what the outcome is, you can take these things with confidence. ”
There is some truth to this explanation. It's just that an old man like him can't deal with it, can I really help? If I'm not mistaken, he doesn't even know what I'm capable of.
Seeing that I was still suspicious, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let's put it more bluntly, I have no other way." Although you may not be able to help me solve the problem, you can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. ”
Hearing what he said so seriously, I was also very curious, and I was also on this train, so I asked him directly: "So, what happened?" ”
"Someone planted a bomb on this train!"
"Bombs?" My grandmother, it seems that I really can't take the free train back to Beijing, and this kind of thing is happening again.
"Hmm", Zhou Xicai thought I didn't believe it, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found a text message, and showed it to me.
Ten words were written on it: there is a bomb on the car, the next stop explodes!
After reading the text message, I smiled: "Old man Zhou, do you believe this kind of prank?" ”
Zhou Xicai shook his head: "This is an undercover agent sent by me, and it will not be wrong." ”
Undercover? Infernal Affairs?
Forget it, I don't bother with him on the question of authenticity. I thought about it for a moment and reminded him, "Well, even if there's a bomb in the car." But the next stop of this train will be more than 7 o'clock, and there will be many hours, so you will have time to get off. Anyway, I'm going to jump out of the car, and I don't have to give these things to me. ”
"The problem is, I can't get out of this car!" Zhou Xicai rubbed his hands vigorously, obviously uneasy.
"Why?" I glanced at him curiously. He has good skills, and there are so many subordinates to protect him, jumping off the train should not be difficult for him, right?
"I made a bet with someone," Zhou Xicai's face flushed, "If I can't take this train and arrive in Beijing safely within the scheduled time, then these chips will be lost." ”
In other words, if he succeeds, then even if he sends it out, he will not lose.
This guy, he himself is in the "gambling" industry, how can he still get involved in gambling, and he is so big when he plays.
This kind of unreliable person can still be favored by the company and be the person in charge of the southwest region, I really don't understand.
Zhou Xicai glanced at me, blushed and continued to explain: "It's all my fault for being greedy, seeing that she made such a big bet, and relying on her own ability, she has a lot of brothers, so she shouldn't be able to hurt me." Who knows, her target is not a person but a train, and it is the train that happened not long ago. As long as the bomb is successfully detonated, I will lose anyway. And my plan to go to Beijing to avoid the limelight this time has been completely ruined, and I don't know how many people will come to check on me. ”
Yes, in less than half a month, there were two major accidents in a row on the same train. Who can afford such a responsibility. People with a background like him are also "lost dogs", and they are destined to become the target of public criticism, and if they don't say it well, they will be pulled out as scapegoats.
"So, what do you want to do?" I asked.
"Of course, find the bomb and disarm it", Zhou Xicai thought that I had a helping hand, and was very happy, "As long as I can find it quickly, I have a bomb disposal expert under my hands, and it should be too late." ”
I'm not as optimistic about this as he is. Since the effect of detonation is the same no matter when it is detonated, people also deliberately set aside time for you to find and dismantle, so you naturally have no fear. I'm afraid that even if I find it, I can't dismantle it. Moreover, his undercover intelligence is so accurate that I always feel that there is something wrong with it.
It's just that since I also plan to take this bus back to Beijing, there are so many innocent passengers on the bus. So, I don't have a direct reason to refuse to help find the bomb.
Zhou Xicai also told me that he had sent five of his subordinates, and whether they could be found or not, there should be a reply soon.
I was embarrassed and poured a basin of cold water on the past: I'm sorry, my five subordinates have been "solved" by me, otherwise I wouldn't have entered this carriage.
Zhou Xicai's face flashed a trace of disappointment, but it was only a flash. He then asked me if there was any good way, such as a spell, to find out the whereabouts of the bomb.
I shook my head, saying I couldn't help it.
Although I know a little bit about crooked ways, I am not omnipotent after all. If these bombs, like in old movies, put a ticking timer, then I might have a little more way. Moreover, I can't guarantee that I will always be fully focused, and if I am tired and deserted, there is a risk of missing out.
Zhou Xicai turned his head to Zhao Ya again, this little girl. He really plans to be a dead horse and become a live horse doctor, and he will not let go of any possibility.
Zhao Ya just laughed, not saying yes or no.
Her ambiguous attitude made Zhou Xicai's heart itch. He had no choice but to lower his stature and keep begging her, so he almost knelt on the ground, which made me feel unbearable to watch from the sidelines.
Pretending to be almost over, Zhao Ya finally relented, but said something very sad to me.
She said to Zhou Xicai: "I have a way to find all the bombs, and you can do it if you want me to help you." However, you'll have to get everyone else in this room out first, and I'm going to talk to you about some of the things I'm going to talk to you about alone. ”
I thought that the other people she said meant something else, and I deliberately looked around to see if there were any of Zhou Xicai's hidden subordinates.
As a result, the direction of Zhao Ya's finger was me.
Okay, go out, go out, what are you talking about, can you hide it from me?
I feigned righteous indignation, and walked out in a rage, opening the heavenly ears at the same time, and pointing the direction to the room.
"Okay, no one else, now let's talk!" This is Zhou Xicai's voice.
Zhao Ya said: "Take your hands!" ”
Their transactions are done by writing on the palm of their hands. This little girl is so ruthless in her defense.
It's really infuriating, my Xia Qihong is not around, otherwise I can still come to you to see.
Since I couldn't eavesdrop on the inside story, I simply walked to the junction of the carriage and chatted with Liu San, who was squatting outside and not quite sober in his head.
After about half an hour, Zhao Ya came out of the room to find me, with a triumphant smile on her face.
Zhou Xicai also walked out, and he went to the next door and called a thin monkey-like subordinate to come and cooperate with our actions.
Zhao Ya insisted on letting me go along, saying that I was her talisman, and she was not sure if she was too far away.
Of course I didn't say yes, so she wrapped her arms around me like a snake and put her hands up and down...... Bad men are cute, bad women are scary, but they are both nemesis of the good opposite sex, and I had to disarm and surrender.
To find the bomb, Zhao Ya needs to walk through this train from beginning to end, or several times.
Her original intention was to go back to the roof of the car and walk from above, saving time and effort. But I didn't want to risk my life for something that wasn't directly related to me, and the skinny monkey looked scared and didn't want to go up.
At the same time, the lightning and thunder outside were also very cooperative, and there were more of them.
Zhao Ya had no choice but to compromise and walk in the carriage. But she needed a few more people to deal with the conductor and the police for her, after all, we had to cross the whole train. So, Zhou Xicai assigned Liu San to her again. He said to Zhao Ya that Liu San was very familiar with the staff on this trip, and he could do it all by himself, so he didn't need to go to so many people, it was too ostentatious.
Let's go to the front of the car first.
Liu San was in front, and behind the Thin Monkey Palace, Zhao Ya grabbed my arm tightly and walked in the middle.
Speechless all the way.
Walking through the three carriages, Zhao Ya suddenly said to me: "What happened just now, if you are really angry, I apologize to you." But I really don't mean to avoid you, it's just that there are some secrets that you don't know better. ”
This time, I didn't give her a chance to speculate on my inner thoughts, and directly replied with four words: "Okay, thank you." ”
"Alas, how can you look like a child", Zhao Ya sighed faintly, then her face changed, she stopped suddenly, and the hand that grabbed my arm was also squeezed hard. (To be continued.) )
