Chapter 47 Riverside Splash
The Commissioner of Fire Affairs called and said that it was difficult to make a wish.
He also hesitated and said: "There may be city leaders who have asked." ”
At the end of the day, the director apologized again and again, and I hung up the phone after being polite.
After electrifying with Wish, he listened silently and only said, "Thank you, brother." ”
I wanted to go to the bar immediately to comfort him.
When the editor urged me to write a press release, I turned on my computer to catch up with it. Halfway through writing, Miyu called-make a wish to jump off the building!
I heard that I jumped off the building again, and my head was "buzzing". I handed over the unfinished manuscript to the intern, left the office in a hurry, and drove to Hokkaido to catch up with the snow.
Along the way, I was worried about making a wish, and I couldn't help but think - why do so many people often choose to jump off the building now, maybe it is because it is more convenient to die by jumping off the building, die simply, and the cost is low, unlike taking sleeping pills, buying a lot of pills is a problem, and you need to find a doctor to issue a certificate.
But among all the ways to die, jumping off the building is the most ugly, jumping off more than ten floors, you will be splashed with blood on the spot, and the mud will be spread, and make a wish that you usually love beauty and pretend to be handsome.
Called Zixuan, he was doing an interview, and was shocked when he heard the news, and he stammered, telling me that even if I made a wish to jump off the building successfully, I had to listen to his last words, or I would leave a lifetime of guilt and nightmares.
"Also, if he insists on jumping, he has to put on new clothes and jump again, it's too cruel to jump off the building, who dares to change his clothes after going west, anyway, I faint blood!" He added.
I was furious: "Zixuan, do you have a brick next to you or something?" ”
He didn't know what to do: "What do you want bricks for?" I was doing an interview in the field, but there were stones. ”
"Listen to me, take a rock and slap yourself on the head, and grab the mud to cover your stinky mouth before you slap yourself to death!"
I didn't feel angry and hung up on him.
Wishing drunk delirium, he sat on the wide windowsill on the top floor of the Great Wall Building next to the snowfall in Hokkaido. This windowsill is more than one person high, and several pots of flowers and trees are usually placed for decoration.
Now, Wishing sits in the middle of the flowers and trees, with the window wide open, holding a bottle of spirits vodka in his hand, his feet sticking out of the window, and his eyes staring at the city in the distance.
Miyu and two floor staff stood a few meters away to persuade him to come down, but he ignored it, looking like I would fly and go with the wind.
Zixuanda and I gasped and arrived before and after. Before he could get to him, he said coldly, "Don't come here, let me be quiet." ”
His voice was cold, and he didn't forget to pour wine when he spoke.
"You're going to commit suicide by jumping off a building? What about Miu? Do you want the three of us to live in a nightmare of self-blame for the rest of our lives? No matter what happens, let's figure it out together, and it will pass! Zixuan finally got his senses, stopped mentioning wearing new clothes, and began to persuade to make a wish.
"Besides, if you leave like this, who will inherit the huge wealth of the Xu Group, so you have to give Meiyu a name and let her share it. I can take care of her, but a girl is lonely, and society is sinister, and there are many bad people, just in case...... Right. Zixuan continued.
There are no bricks around, so you can only throw your eyes at Zixuan.
I am thinking about whether to die, you are still thinking about dividing the money, it seems that there are still people who want to occupy their wives and pick up property when their bones are not cold, which is more beautiful than Chen Shimei thought, beast!
Fortunately, I made a wish to continue drinking, and my face was expressionless.
I looked at him and sighed and said, "If you want to jump off the building, don't choose a clean place, this building is too obscure." I heard that three people jumped last year, two men and one woman. ”
Lighting a cigarette, Chong Zixuan blinked and hoped that he would cooperate.
Zixuan looked at me suspiciously, I gritted my teeth and glared at him, he seemed to understand and continued: "No, it's two women and one man." ”
"Three of them anyway. The first person to jump fell on a passerby, and as a result, he did not die, but stoned the passerby to death. ”
"Does that count as intentional homicide?" Zi Xuan asked.
"It must have been manslaughter, but it was later determined that it was a pregnant woman. Kill two birds with one stone. ”
"That's not right! Can you speak, that should be called one corpse and two lives. Tragic! I heard that the child has been in the mother's womb for nine months and is about to be born, but what about the second person? ”
The second person didn't hit anyone, and flew straight into the grass after drawing a graceful arc in the air. The ground was soft, and he didn't die, but his lower body was stuck directly into the branch of a newly planted tree. ”
"Ah...... Terrible! Is this man a man or a woman? Zixuan responded with a frightened face, the word "ah", the voice was sharp and long, like a ladyboy. I almost burst out laughing.
I replied to him: "The gender cannot be confirmed, if it is a man, it will definitely become a woman on the spot......"
"What if it's a woman?" Zixuan asked me rhetorically with a demented look.
"Are you an idiot? Of course - still a woman! But it is said that this man went crazy and was a guest in a mental hospital for a long time, repeatedly explaining to patients how to draw beautiful arcs in the air and improve the accuracy of inserting branches into the lower body to change gender. ”
"It's cruel, what are the odds of jumping off the wish to lead to this outcome?" Zixuan shuddered and pointed to the wish.
"It should be 50 percent, the Great Wall Mansion is full of shrubs, and there are a lot of giant cacti imported from Mexico, maybe 80 percent."
"What about the third jumper?" Zixuan continued to ask.
"The third, according to the official details, was a man who jumped and fell to the ground solidly, unfortunately with his head on the ground and his buttocks on the ground, which is very difficult to do from a physical point of view. He has a fracture all over his body, a brain damage, paralysis, and a vegetative state, and now he is still lying on the bed at home, seeing that he has pulled his pants, but his wife is playing kiss goodbye with other men on the side, this man can only be an audience, and he can't applaud yet! ”
"Sad! The greatest sorrow in life is that he did not die after jumping off the building, he was half paralyzed, his wife and children and parents were affected, he couldn't die, he was alive to suffer, and what was even more cruel was to leave a young and beautiful wife, a typical widow! Zixuan said with a sigh.
"Widows? You are too optimistic, I can guarantee that within a few months, a young and beautiful woman will take a man's inheritance and defect to a strong man, and she will also go around proclaiming that her former man jumped to his death to win everyone's sympathy and pity. When I responded to Zixuan, I turned my head to look at Miyu, but fortunately, her attention was on making a wish.
"Isn't the first half of the dead man's work to make money the same as working for other men?" Zixuan sighed and said.
"Isn't it? There have long been news reports that a rich man died, and his wife remarried a rich driver with huge assets, and the driver sighed and said, I always thought I was working for the boss, but it turned out that the boss was always working for me! ”
Wishing glanced at Miyu, who was crying.
"You two bastards! I've had enough! Wishing jumped down from the windowsill and said to Miyu, "Bring me a basin of cold water, it's so fucking hot, your ass is mushy!" ”
Seeing that the wish suffered from the double blow of family refrigeration and unsatisfactory career, his spirit was becoming weaker, although he no longer climbed the building to look into the distance, but he kept the empty bar every day to drink, Miyu was worried and scared, afraid that he would suddenly transform one night, call himself a werewolf, and lose control of his spirit.
Zixuan and I were also anxious, thinking about how to find a relationship every day. After hearing about it, Takakawa went to Hokkaido several times when it snowed. Although he is enthusiastic, he is also helpless.
The Junnan Group has rules and regulations that they do business without getting involved with officialdom, so they are weak in government relations. Gao Chuan said that he could only wait for Zhao Junqing to come back from his honeymoon in Europe to find a way.
At present, the only one who can unblock the snow in Hokkaido is my aunt. At this time, she had been promoted to secretary of the municipal legal committee and concurrently served as the director of the public security bureau, and the Chen Xiao incident had no impact on her at all.
At the office of the director of the Public Security Bureau, I told her the general story of what had happened.
After listening, she stared out the window for a long time and was silent, and the wind was blowing in the courtyard of the Public Security Bureau in the evening, and the trees were swaying and rattling with the wind.
I sat across from her desk and finished three cups of coffee. The old aunt said slowly: "It's all related to the Ocean Group, and that Zhang Shuai is the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
Like when Chen Xiao had an accident, the old aunt never really paid attention to these, but she was still aware of the various events that happened in the city, just like she had a hidden and huge network underneath, staring at all corners of the city all the time, and nothing could escape her eyes.
I said, "I don't want to fight with Zhang Shuai, I just want to ask you to help make a wish, it's really difficult for him." ”
My aunt turned her head to look at me: "You don't understand, since Zhang Shuai and they want to work against you, if you just find a way to dredge up the relationship and help your classmates, you can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and all kinds of things will continue to happen in the future." Moreover, the bar where the wish was made frequently had accidents, and it was also suspected of drug dealing, and there was news that some leaders had instructions to close the bar. ”
I hurriedly said: "That's all framed by someone, I wish there were no drugs at all, this fire was also arson, there are so many witnesses, and there is surveillance video, the police don't need to make much effort to catch the arsonist, but they just want to close the bar and ignore the mastermind behind the scenes, this is dereliction of duty!" ”
The old aunt smiled and said, "That's it, you go back first, I'll try to help you ask, but I can only do things according to the regulations, and I can't guarantee that the bar will be lifted." ”
I suspected that my aunt was just coping with what she said, thinking about the wish and Miyu's haggard face, I was even more anxious, knowing that if my aunt's attitude was not clear, once I left her office, things would have to be left to fate.
I couldn't care so much, "plop" on her knees.
My aunt looked at me blankly, and after a while, she put down her pen, came over to help me, and said, "What a big deal, you are still a reporter, and you are so panicked when you encounter something!" ”
With tears in my eyes, I begged her to help me make a wish, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get up on my knees.
After a stalemate, the old aunt sighed and said, "Okay, okay, there will be a fire meeting tomorrow morning, and I will say hello to the leaders of the detachment and the director of the public security bureau of the central district of the city at the meeting, you can go back with confidence." ”
The aunt promised to help, and with her current status and power, it shouldn't be a big problem.
When I left the Public Security Bureau, I first called Wish, but the phone was turned off. Since the bar closed, he tossed his phone aside and rarely charged it.
A noble young man like Wish, who has been pampered since childhood, is not high in adversity, and his ability to withstand setbacks is lower than that of ordinary people, and if the blow is too heavy, he will give up on himself. On top of that, he is also under pressure to prove himself in the family, and those who provide financial support are also on the sidelines, for whom face is more important than anything else.
I drove directly to the bar, and on the way I received a call from Meng Xing, who said that she was going to take the train to Beijing to see Grandma Liu in the evening, brought a lot of things, and asked me if I had time to send her.
I thought about it and said, "Okay, let's find a place to eat first, and I'll take you to the train station after dinner." ”
The car turned around and went back to the Public Security Bureau.
Later, how many times I remembered the decision to turn around that day, I regretted it a lot, and the choice and change of fate were often in an instant.
I received Meng Xing at the Public Security Bureau and asked her what she wanted to eat, she said it was too hot, find a cool place, and I said that I would go to the sea and get lost in the 1843 vegetable boat.
The city was baked by the sun all day, and only the river was still slightly cool. She and Meng Xing got on the riverside boat, and she asked the boatman to rock the boat more slowly, wanting to stay on the water for a while.
There is a crescent moon in the quietly flowing water, which is clearly visible when the boat stops, echoing the moon in the canopy, forming a curtain between heaven and earth, with symmetrical moon shadows at both ends.
Meng Xing put his hand into the water and scooped up a water weed, on which a small white flower bloomed, and the dripping water droplets on the flower carried the coolness of the river.
The boat moved, Meng Xing put the flower into the water, and the flower no longer floated on the surface of the water vigorously, but slowly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared without a trace.
The boatman in a straw hat said as he rocked the oar: "It is a kind of water that is unique to the riverside, don't look at the usual vigorous and luxuriant blooming, once out of the water, even if it is only for a moment, it will sink back into the water, and life will be over." ”
Meng Xing looked at the aquatic plants that disappeared into the water in surprise and said, "So fragile? ”
"We look at it as fragile, but in fact it's to the limit," said the boatman. People look very powerful, nothing is difficult, but they can't survive for a few minutes out of the air. All life has an extremely fragile side. ”
Waterfowl were disturbed on the surface of the river, passing low in the air, and the moon in the water was shattered by the swaying of the oars.
