Chapter 17: The Lone Star

Wang Luohe's escape again made Officer Ouyang and the boss above him very faceless.

Officer Ouyang came to me, first apologized, and then asked what to do? I ask you why you didn't snipe him in the first place? One shot broke him, can he still run a hair? Officer Ouyang explained to me that he was very interested in this Wang Luohe, and hoped to catch it alive and then study it. He is just an errand runner, the on-site commander is his boss, and the special police who take snipers listen to the boss, and he has no choice.

I didn't pay attention to him anymore, saying that I can't control this matter, I don't take a salary and I don't wear a uniform, so it's my business? He said that you are not afraid that Wang Luohe will come back to you to seek revenge? I said I'm not afraid, won't you protect me?

Officer Ouyang walked away in a huff, and he could see that I was resisting them.

Truth be told, no one likes to be used, and no one likes to be used as a pawn and stupidly walked around.

On the third day, I attended Xiaomei's funeral in a wheelchair, which was very simple, held in the funeral home of the crematorium. I met Xiaomei's father, a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked old, with a slumped body and red eyes, talking to Xiaomei's sister. When he saw me, he was very angry and rushed to beat me, but they stopped me, but he spat me in the face and scolded me a lot of ugly things.

I used to hear that he was an honest peasant, but now he was like a warrior who was going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

After a while, Xiaomei's sister managed to persuade him, and he glared at me fiercely.

I greeted Xiaomei's sister, this beautiful young woman used to call me Boss Lu and Boss Lu very warmly, but now she just looked at me coldly, like a stranger.

It was a cremation, so the funeral was very simple, there were not many people in Xiaomei's house, a few relatives, and a child with a snotty nose looking for someone to eat candy everywhere. Xiaomei is usually very popular, and except for a few on duty in the jewelry store, others also came. Halfway through, Xiaomei's brother-in-law, a skinny man with glasses, came to talk to me about compensation, and he told me that Xiaomei's death was caused entirely by me, and that I had to be held responsible, otherwise they would go to court to sue me.

I asked how much and to whom?

When he opened his mouth, he paid one million to Xiaomei's father...... and her sister.

I said, oh, then you go and sue, and let the court open a leaflet to me at any time, it doesn't matter. He was anxious and said how can you be like this, Xiaomei is your girlfriend and your employee, so you have to take responsibility! If that's the case, we'll sue you, and we'll sue you for ruining your family and your reputation. I laughed and said that you still know how to use a few idioms, and there are five people and six people, why don't you know the law? Okay, let's not talk about it now, when Xiaomei is sent away, I'll talk to her father later.

He was anxious again, saying that he was the full representative of Xiaomei's father and sister.

I ignored him, I could understand the feelings of a father who had lost a child, but I would not understand the unreasonable demands of a brother-in-law who had lost his sister-in-law. The two old fritter employees in my store walked over, grabbed him with a smile, and pushed him to the front. At this time, the hairy trail that had disappeared for several days appeared, and he squatted next to me with a smile, and raised his right hand to me for a thumbs up.

He said Lu Zuo, you are really good, you can't see it, you kill people thousands of miles away.

I said lightly, how can that guy not be able to escape thirty miles, right? Xiao Keming smiled and said yes, I just came back from the nearby development park, that guy died in a day rental room in a hotel, his whole body was ulcerated, highly corrupted, skin and flesh were separated, bloody flesh was in the bathroom, crawling with white maggots, his head was on the bed, his intestines were stretched for six meters, and the whole room was like a slaughterhouse, stinking like a dung pit...... You're good, little poison, little poison, you won't be a descendant of the Five Poisons Sect, right?

I said, are you sure you're a cultivator, why do I feel so excited about you?

He laughed hesitantly, he said that you shouldn't accept apprentices, but we are friends, good friends, and with a friend like you, I feel so secure! Well, by the way, I guess the strip will come to you again.

Since he got acquainted with me, he is no longer called a Taoist friend, nor is he called a gentleman, he is very familiar with his shoulders and back.

I'm silent, what is a spirit Gu? This is the same as the spiritual descent mentioned earlier, and it requires a great deal of mental power...... Or resentment, I used the Gu poison of the Golden Silkworm Gu to MP4 before, but I hid it and didn't send it, until he broke through the encirclement and fled away, thinking that there was no threat, I used a wisp of concern attached to it, and the grief and indignation in my heart, to cause Gu poison.

He died of his own toxin, and the resentful spirit of the head-lowering toxin for several years was lurking, until it reached a certain critical point, evaporating instantly.

If he doesn't die, my heart will not be at peace.

After receiving the news of Wang Luohe's death, I smiled, feeling that my face was a little tense, and my mood was still depressed.

The funeral service came to an end, and the body was ready to be cremated. Xiaomei's father was crying, Xiaomei's sister was also crying like tears, and his brother-in-law was humming and looking at me nervously, as if he was afraid that I would run away. I ignored him, just quietly looked ahead, recalling Xiaomei's voice and smile, and the bits and pieces I had with her. To tell the truth, for Xiaomei, I pity more than love, and it is too false to say how grief-stricken I am. However, I really can't accept the fact that such a girl who stuck to her side and asked for warmth and tied her whole heart to me died and left me forever.

Xiaomei and her brother-in-law said a lot of to me, but one sentence was correct: I hurt Xiaomei.

I don't deny it at all.

This matter is like a heart Gu, eating away at my heart. Everyone I love will leave my side - do I have to choose one of the three endings of "lonely", "poor" and "young"? Will all these people leave me? Am I unable to escape the fate of the Gu raiser? The rivers of fate branch out in countless ways, and although they eventually flow into the sea and lead to death, the scenery of the path is different. I didn't believe in this thing before, but now I seem to believe in it.

In the dark, it was as if a thread was pulling me, and I stumbled forward.

********

In the end, I paid Xiaomei's father 125,400 yuan, which involved some calculation formulas. In addition, I gave him an additional compensation of 300,000 yuan, which should be his moral compensation. Wang Luohe still doesn't know the origin of the road, it seems to be from the area of Yunnan and Guizhou, and it also seems to be from Southeast Asia (later I learned that the Mawlamyine he said is a place name in Mon State Province of Myanmar), this guy is a poor ghost, and the expenses during the crime of Dongguan are actually 7,000 cash that was pryed out of my safe.

The dog said that it was very provincial, and later Officer Ouyang came to me, and there were more than 4,000 in the room.

There is also an MP4 machine soaked in blood.

Therefore, all these expenses were paid by my account, but fortunately, Mrs. Li gave me 500,000 yuan in consultation fees before, which greatly relieved my financial pressure. Xiaomei's father took the money and left, not disappointed or happy, a little lonely - the money was perhaps the largest amount he had ever seen in his life, but it was in exchange for his daughter's life.

However, his eldest daughter, especially the eldest son-in-law, was quite excited, and kept saying beautiful things around the old father-in-law.

Xiaomei's father wants to take his daughter's ashes back to Shangqiu, Henan, and bury her on a sunny mountain, where the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. I asked him for the address, saying that he had time to go to worship, perhaps because of the role of money (I took the initiative to increase 300,000 yuan when talking about compensation), or maybe his sadness was alleviated a little, and he told me that he said that he was free and went to have fun.

During this period, Officer Ouyang came to me several times and talked about Wang Luohe.

This person is a black household, no ID card, and I don't know where he came from, who he is, self-proclaimed Wang Luohe, about 50 years old, abnormal appearance, there are things on his body that cannot be explained by science (maybe it is a genetic mutation), he will become a "werewolf" (in fact, a monkey man), died in late November 2007, and his death was quite tragic.

Officer Ouyang asked me, Lu Zuo, how do you think Wang Luohe died?

What do I say about the medical practitioner? He said that the forensic doctors vomited and destroyed the scene, and there was no conclusion for half a day of research, saying that he had never seen a person die so miserably. I helped him point to the brackets on the dossier and said that it was because of genetic mutation, which was unstable, and as a result, he mutated and died. - Maybe? He looked at me meaningfully and smiled, and it was a smile of substance.

I said,, you don't think it's me, do you? I've been under your watchful eye the whole time, and I'm almost on the tuba to be watched.

He shook his head and said that there is really no evidence that you did it, but from what I heard, I think you are very suspicious...... But what? I'm just a little policeman, not a leader, so I have no right to speak, so I can only let you go, the possible murderer. But there is one thing, if I have any difficulties in the future, I will ask you for help, and you have to agree.

I shook my head and said that I didn't need to talk about anything other than helping the cave house.

He wanted to pat me on the shoulder, but his hand stopped in mid-air, pointed at me and smiled, saying that I can be your uncle, and you still make fun of your aunt! I said how do I know how many aunts I have, how many red lights do you walk through the village and alleys, do you dare to say that you don't charge for beds and physical examinations? He looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said no, he never did this.

Well, whether I believe it or not, he believed it anyway.

Experienced Duoduo once, Xiaomei once, a total of two threats, made me vigilant - in this world, I have never been afraid of powerful enemies, but I am afraid of hiding in the shadows, ruthless and cunning and obscene enemies, even the underworld has the unspoken rule of "disaster does not affect the family", they are stunned as invisible, I don't know how far I am from that terrible world, but the arrival of Wang Luohe has sounded the alarm for me. I'm ignorant, and I don't know if there will be Li Luohe and Liu Luohe coming in the end.

There are too many things in this world that are terrifying, but the most chilling thing is the human heart.

So, I made a difficult decision: I quit my stake in the store and no longer participate in the operation of the jewelry store.

Agen was surprised and asked me what I was doing. I told him about my concerns, saying that I saw a Hong Kong film before, the white-haired young man played by Ekin Cheng, who called himself "Tiansha Lone Star", I am very similar to him, marriage is difficult, relatives and friends, six relatives have no fate, and brothers are weak...... Pinch your fingers and count, a lot of reasons why all kinds of eggs hurt. Brother, it's not that I don't want to start a business and struggle with you, but I'm afraid that it will affect you.

Agen said I'm afraid of a ball, these two shops were built by the two of us together, and now they're booming, what do you mean by transferring them to me? Don't engage in feudal superstition, Xiaomei is dead, I know that you are sad and disheartened, I can understand this, but I can't commit it, I really can't commit it, the dead are gone, life is still going on, and the living are responsible for their own future.

I looked at him in amazement and said, "How can you say such a big thing, I don't see."

He lowered his head and sighed, saying that the last time I was Wang Shanqing, I was scolded by you and woke up, and after thinking about it for a long time, I can now understand it - five words floating in the sky, it's not a problem!

We talked for a long time, and then I discounted some of the shares to him, and then some to Gu Wei, another store manager other than Xiaomei, and finally retained 10% of the shares, but did not participate in the specific operation. Agen asked me what I was going to do next. I said I didn't think about it, I should heal my injuries first, and then think about what I would do next.

In the following days, I was recuperating from my injuries, doing rehabilitation, and then reading and writing, basically without any stories, very peaceful. I recovered quickly, and I was discharged from the hospital in less than a month, and the doctors at the hospital were not surprised, but felt that I was in trouble, and finally calmed down. Why? This is mainly because Xiao Keming, a miscellaneous little way, has been eating and drinking at my house, and he has nothing to do to play with me, and by the way, he hooked up with the nurse sister in the hospital. Beauty is a scarce resource everywhere, although there are many women in the hospital, but there are few high-quality ones, and the hookup ability of the miscellaneous hair trail is very strong, and it will not be long before the two hospital flowers who are famous for their appearance and figure are beheaded by him.

Love the house and Wu, there is also hatred of the house and Wu, the male doctor in the hospital is looking at me now, they are all bitter and hateful.

After I was discharged from the hospital, I moved to a house in the suburbs, which was also mine, rented to someone else, and paid the mortgage for the house. There were three people, and one of them happened to be gone, so I moved in. The suburbs are quieter than the urban areas, and after the two people in the same room went to work, I concentrated on reading in my room, trying to read and understand the "Twelve Methods of Suppressing the Mountains". Xiao Keming wanted to come over to play, but I didn't let him, so he set up fortune-telling stalls at overpasses, squares and community entrances all over Dongguan to make ends meet (comrades with Dongguan may have seen such an obscene Taoist priest).

After about a month of such quiet days, at the beginning of January 2008, Boss Gu called me and asked me, do you still want the ten years of soul rejuvenation grass I said last time?
