Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Stone Bell That Stopped Turning
It is said that this kind of iconic building or landscape should not be allowed to stop operating, Lin Kang did not know what its operation mode was and where the operating energy came from, so Lin Kang planned to tentatively ask the driver.
"Master, how many years have you been driving here?" Lin Kang looked at the driver's half of the white hair and asked.
"Well...... the driver thought for a while and said, "It's been more than ten years, it's been too long, and I can't remember the specifics." ”
"Is it just in this range?"
"Yes, our taxi drivers here generally don't go outside the city, after all, the economy can't keep up, there are not many people coming and going, and it is possible to send a person to run a small long distance will cost two gas dollars, and it is also very tiring." The driver talked about the nature of his work.
"That's it......" Lin Kang paused for a moment, and then pretended to suddenly remember: "By the way, master, is the bell tower you passed by just now a very old building?" ”
The driver looked at the wide road ahead and there were few vehicles, so he turned around and pointed to the place he had just passed by, and asked, "Do you mean that?" I guess it's older than me, anyway, I already had it when I started to remember, and at that time I thought it was very fun to go there often, and I didn't need to wear a watch when I went out, the clock tower was so high, as long as my eyesight was good, I could see clearly everywhere I went. ”
"Really? But when I passed by, I noticed that it had stopped. Lin Kang was very happy that the driver could tell him so much, so he didn't need to ask one by one.
The driver exhaled heavily, like a deep sigh, and said after a while: "You may not know when you first came, this bell tower used to be very accurate, and I can't remember how many years ago it started, it always stopped after a while, maybe the management people are lazy and don't often come to wind it." ”
"I see." It turned out that the bell tower was also winded, Lin Kang didn't know if what the driver said was true, but there was no doubt that the person in charge, that is, the wife of the police chief, mismanaged it.
The two were silent for a while, and the driver seemed to be very lonely, so he took the initiative to say: "I'll tell you something, don't go out and talk nonsense, now the manager of the clock tower is the police chief's wife, she has no job, every day is to do these things that do a lot of work, with the money given by the government, it is not good to do things, but people have backers, and there is no direct interest relationship with us small people, so everyone also sees it in their eyes but will not say it." ”
Lin Kang nodded and didn't answer, if what the driver said just now is true, then the director's wife is indeed very idle, so Lin Kang doesn't believe that she didn't manage it out of laziness, there must be other reasons.
Back in the dormitory, Lin Kang took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Officer Sun, the content was very simple, that is, he asked him to beware of the director and the director's wife, and try to avoid them when investigating the case.
Although Officer Sun didn't know what Lin Kang was thinking, he had seen Lin Kang's insight and analytical ability with his own eyes, so he replied very easily that he was now in the time of injury, and the police station would not assign any tasks, so he had enough reason and time to move, and would try to avoid meeting with the chief.
After reading Officer Sun's text message, Lin Kang was just about to put away his mobile phone, but the mobile phone vibrated again, Lin Kang raised his hand and saw that it was Jiang Xiaoxue who sent it: "Eat together at noon?" ”
"Okay." Lin Kang hurried downstairs after replying, and when he walked out of the dormitory building, Lin Kang also looked up at the strange window of the women's dormitory, which was very calm at this time, and there was nothing.
"Lin Kang!" Jiang Xiaoxue shouted and ran towards Lin Kang.
"Slow down, you're so stupid that you'll fall down for a while, what should we do?" Lin Kang covered his mouth and teased Jiang Xiaoxue, and then Jiang Xiaoxue pinched his arm violently, he hurriedly made a pitiful look and begged for mercy, until he promised to buy Jiang Xiaoxue the chocolate Jiang Xiaoxue liked to eat.
"What have you been busy with lately, and you don't come to class, it's not easy to see you." Jiang Xiaoxue looked up at Lin Kang with her head tilted and stared at Lin Kang with big eyes, like a little girl who had been wronged.
Lin Kang scratched his head, he really didn't adapt to Jiang Xiaoxue's domineering and domineering spirit at every turn, and turned to the character of a bird, but his heart was also so sweet that he couldn't do it.
"You say!" Jiang Xiaoxue's eyelids trembled, and a layer of tears covered her eyes, and she was about to fall.
"Well, I can't say anything about this matter, so let's talk to you while we eat, okay?" Lin Kang scratched Jiang Xiaoxue's nose with his fingers and said.
"Good!" Jiang Xiaoxue turned from sadness to joy, and wiped away tears in an instant in the blink of her eyes, Lin Kang also admired Jiang Xiaoxue's behavior of intertwining acting skills and truth.
The cafeteria was still noisy as usual, Lin Kang looked at the long queue that was almost at the door, and he pouted and said, "There are so many people, isn't it time to expand the school cafeteria......
Jiang Xiaoxue "cut" and said: "You are embarrassed to say, when you are not here at noon, I have to go to the queue to buy food by myself, and there will be no seats when I finish buying, and I will keep walking around the restaurant until someone finishes eating, and I can only sit down to eat......"
"Blame me, blame me, wronged you!" Lin Kang touched Jiang Xiaoxue's head petfully, and suddenly a very strange idea came to his mind, saying that he thought about how much Li Wei had a vision to be with Jiang Xiaoxue at the beginning, and now Jiang Xiaoxue has begun to shed the childishness of junior high school, and is really about to transform into a big beauty.
"Okay, you find a seat first, I'll go buy food!" After Lin Kang finished speaking, he got into the line of the food buying army, he saw through the cracks that Jiang Xiaoxue had found a place to sit down, she was also looking over here, the two looked at each other and smiled, Lin Kang turned around and continued to line up.
There are a lot of strange phenomena in life, when you stand in a short line, you will find that the long line next door is faster, but when you turn to that line, you will find that the original line is already lined up, and you are still standing in the other line waiting.
Lin Kang also discovered this phenomenon after switching to two teams, he smiled bitterly, and then laughed at himself with a sentence of "brain-dead" and honestly stood in a team and waited, and just like he imagined, he was soon lined up.
"Let's have a sweet and sour tenderloin!" Lin Kang looked at the vegetables in the big pot in the window and said.
"Okay!" The master of the rice skillfully picked up the spoon and poured it into the plate in a dashing manner, Lin Kang couldn't help but look up curiously to see what such a passionate master looked like, but when he looked up, he found that the master of the rice was wearing a red dress, although her body was facing her, but her head was facing the back of her head!
"Bang", the plate in Lin Kang's hand fell to the ground suddenly, and the food was scattered all over the ground......
