Chapter 160: Hometown
Zhao Xu's heart jumped when he heard this, those investigators were actually killed on the mountain in his hometown, and this incident itself was very incredible.
Let's not say anything beautiful like "simple folk customs", the small mountain village in Zhao Xu's hometown is closed to traffic, and generally only people from the village will come and go, and people in the village usually have to work hard to buy things.
In such a small mountain village, the probability of six people being killed at one time is too low - the investigators are equipped with weapons, and they are all well-trained.
If you want to say that the people in the village did it, Zhao Xu doesn't believe it, and only his father has the skills to do it.
Of course, it is impossible for his father to kill people, so those investigators were killed by people from outside the village - someone followed them into the mountain village!
"Dad, apart from those investigators, were there any other strangers who entered the village yesterday?" Zhao Xu asked.
"There is only one path in and out of the mountain village, and your Uncle Zhou still has a sugarcane field there, which is being harvested recently, and he stays there all day, except for those few people, he doesn't see anyone else coming in. Lao Zhao replied on the phone, "I said, why are you asking so carefully? You are not a policeman, I called to ask if you are okay, I will hang up the phone if you are fine, I am busy here, today the people in the village are going out to see the excitement, and the butcher shop business is very good." β
"Doodoo~"
The phone hung up.
"This dad can't speak clearly, isn't this an urgent person?" Zhao Xu muttered and called his mother.
"Mom. The phone rang, and Zhao Xu called, "Where are you at home?"
"Well, Xiao Xu, have you eaten at this point?" Mom is still the same, and the first sentence asks if she has eaten.
"I've eaten it. Zhao Xu replied, "I heard my father say that someone came to look for him yesterday?"
"This dead old man's mouth is more broken than that of old ladies!" Zhao Xu's mother became angry when she heard it, she didn't like to bother her son the most.
"Mom, I'm just concerned, I heard that those people had an accident in the mountains, you see, they were going to our house, but the next day there was an accident, and the people in the village inevitably gossip...... Zhao Xu said.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about this. Mother Zhao said, "We are not afraid of shadows, who dares to chew the root of the tongue? Not to mention your five big and three thick father, my Miao Yinping has been here for so many years, and no one dares to criticize me!"
"No, I don't talk about what others say, I'm mainly worried about you...... Have there been any strange movements in the mountains recently?" Zhao Xu was still not at ease.
"Haha, good son, are you still in the era when mountain bandits were rampant? Your grandfather used to be a man with a native gun and a firewood knife, and he overturned dozens of bandits in the mountains, and dozens of human heads were pierced with iron hooks and hung on the hill to dry for 8 years, and no one dared to come to us to be the king of the mountain again. My mother smiled and told the glorious stories of my ancestors that Zhao Xu often heard when he was a child.
"Mom, I didn't mean that, where would anyone dare to be a thief these days. Zhao Xu couldn't cry or laugh.
"Then what do you mean? beasts in the mountains?" Zhao Mu wondered, "At best, there are a few wild boars and foxes in the mountains, and I heard Wang Cuihua next door say that those people have no wounds on their bodies, and they should not be injured by wild beasts." β
Wang Cuihua's son is a police officer at the police station in the town outside the village, and he is estimated to be at the scene of the crime at this time.
Zhao Xu wanted to ask, was there anything weird, but he couldn't say it, and his mother would definitely laugh at him, laughing at him for reading for so many years, and laughing at him for being in vain in the big city.
His mother was a real materialist, an advanced individual and a representative of women who "overthrew all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods" in that era.
"Okay, don't worry, there's vegetables in the mother's pot, it's not delicious if it's stuffy, you can take a nap and hang up." Zhao's mother also hung up the phone.
"No, I'm going back!" Zhao Xu put down the phone with a serious face, he remembered the incident in Jinbeizui Fishing Village before, the world is not calm now, and when he thought of the scene when the villagers of the entire Jinbeizui Fishing Village instantly turned into rotten meat, his heart beat wildly.
It's not that he doesn't want to be good - he doesn't care about others, and his parents can't care about it!
After getting dressed, he packed up and prepared to go to the company to ask for a leave of absence first, and then go straight to the airport to go home.
............
Tiandu Group.
"Mr. Li, why didn't you see Minister Zhao of your company this morning?" The company continued to entertain foreign guests on the second floor, and a middle-aged man came over, he was the manager of a project department of the head office.
Zhao Xu actually took over his class, he was transferred to the head office, and he always wanted to promote Zhao Xu to the head office to continue to follow him, it can be said that he values Zhao Xu very much.
Of course, he was stopped by Li Jing every time.
This person looks heroic, and he has the ability, but he always likes to be greedy for merit, and all the credit is according to his own name, and under his hands, although he is polite, he can only be a nameless horse boy forever, and there is no day to rise.
"Oh, Manager Lu, Zhao Xu is a little unwell today and has taken a leave of absence. Li Jing replied.
"Oh, what a good learning opportunity for the head office to pay so much attention to this negotiation, it won't be that some people deliberately transferred him and didn't let him show his head. Manager Lu said with a smile.
"Manager Lu said with a smile, Zhao Xu participated in the first two negotiation processes, didn't you still greet him? But I see that after you are promoted, why don't you deserve a secret technique or anything, and you don't even have a person to serve tea and water?"
"Hehe, Mr. Li's eloquence, it's a pity that you don't take the lead in this negotiation, otherwise, how can it be delayed for so long? Mr. Li went out and it was done in half an hour!" Manager Lu was very small-minded, and he refused to eat the loss on his lips, so he actually sat opposite Li Jing.
"This is Mr. Li's new secretary, right? Sure enough, it's Guose Tianxiang, I heard those rumors when I was still in the subsidiary and thought they were fake, but I didn't expect it...... It's me who was naΓ―ve. Manager Lu meant something authentic.
Murong Nana blinked her eyes wide, she didn't understand very well, but she was a little disgusted with this person's eyes, and Li Jing quickly understood-this said that she was lace!
In the past, the company did have this rumor, because she was good-looking and had many suitors, but she rejected them all, so some people spread rumors everywhere, saying that she didn't like men.
"Green ...... Mr. Li!"
At this moment, Zhao Xu walked in from outside.
"Zhao Xu, aren't you feeling unwell?" Li Jing was afraid of goofs, so she winked at Zhao Xu with her left eye.
"Ahem...... It's a bit ...... Ahem, cold. Zhao Xuhou was so good that he pretended to cough twice, "I'm here to renew my vacation, and I have to take two more days off, and the doctor asked me to stay in bed." β
"Zhao Xu, the body is the capital of the revolution, you are young, you must pay attention to it, don't be tired. Manager Lu stood up and smiled and became a good person: "If you are too tired in the department, just tell me, your qualifications have also arrived, you can't always nest in the branch, you must learn to create opportunities and seize opportunities!"
It was this smiling tiger's expression again, which evoked Zhao Xu's bad memories, and it was this old man who snatched his fruits from the big order he made back then.
"Leave of absence. Li Jing nodded, "I'll ask your subordinates to get the application form for leave, go back and have a good rest!"
"Leader Xie. Zhao Xu said, he was in a hurry to hand over the nine-tailed fox fur to Li Jing, but this Manager Lu was cheeky and sat here to be an eyesore.
"Bell!"
A crisp voice came, and it turned out that Murong Nana "accidentally" knocked over the glass, and slowly sprinkled a glass of orange juice on Manager Lu's clothes.
"Oh, I'm sorry Manager Lu!" Murong Nana stood up in a panic and apologized.
"Li Jing, how did you train your subordinates......? Really, huh!" Manager Lu angrily walked away and went to the bathroom, he had a cleanliness problem.
"Well done!" Zhao Xu smiled and gave Murong Nana a thumbs up, his white teeth were ready to advertise, and then shouted Li Jing out of the restaurant.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, the corners of Murong Nana's mouth curled up because of Zhao Xu's praise slowly drooped.
"Orange juice is so bitter. β
