Volume 1 Chapter 86 Haidilao
Ren Yi slept for two days in a row, and when he got up, he was caught off guard and sneezed a few times.
"All of a sudden, it's cooled down?" Ren Yise shrank and reluctantly got up from the bed.
When I opened the curtains, I saw a layer of fog on the glass, and rain was floating in the sky.
"It's raining." Ren Yi shuddered, feeling that the quilt was more worthy of nostalgia.
A drop of rain fell on the glass in front of him and quickly melted. Ren Yi stared at the drop of water stain for a moment, only to see that it was mixed with an extremely delicate hexagonal crystal.
"Sleet?" Ren Yi exclaimed, "Winter is coming? ”
It rained for a few more days, the temperature plummeted, and Lingzhou completely entered early winter.
Ren Yi took out his thick coat and sat in front of the counter in the hall for Sister Li. Sister Li picked up her children from school in advance, and everyone went to pick up their children early in this kind of weather, and the road was slippery in rainy and snowy weather.
The door of the hall was replaced with an army green cotton curtain, but it was still very leaky, and the wind blew the curtain and swayed, and you could even see the electric cars shuttling back and forth outside. Ren Yi was afraid of the cold, so he moved an electric heater and plugged it under the counter, but he was still very depressed.
Jingle Bell ...... The phone rang.
Ren Yi picked it up half-deadly: "Hey, Ren's dart game." ”
On the other side was a young woman, who said, "Haven't you received it yet?" I've verified it for you, and the goods have indeed been shipped! It's been going on for days. It is possible that there is some situation on the road that is delayed, and the sea is stormy in winter. Wait, maybe I'll contact you today. ”
Ren Yi was stunned for a moment, it should be that Sister Li called the other party before leaving, and asked her to help check the freight order.
Sister Li was in charge of the freight supplies of the dart bureau, and he didn't know what he had ordered, so he could only vaguely agree a few words and hang up the phone.
Jingle Bell ...... It didn't take long for someone to call in.
It's been a busy day...... Ren Yi answered the phone again.
"Hello, this is the City Patrol Division. How many dart masters are on duty today? ”
Ren Yi was stunned, his voice was very familiar, it was actually Xu Tianwei.
"There's a big deal for you." She continued.
Got work? Ren Yi was overjoyed.
"It's tricky, how many people I want you to have, how many people come."
Xu Tianwei said succinctly.
"There is a fleet of freighters drifting to the port of Lingzhou. We tried to talk to them radio, but no one answered; Infrared scanning technology was also used to detect that there were no signs of life in the cabin. ”
"To be sure, something has happened to the people on board, and this fleet is currently ownerless, drifting along the ocean current to our port."
"Huh?" Ren Yi exclaimed, "Encountered the Advent?!" ”
"That's not ......" Xu Tianwei smiled a little embarrassed, "We have already monitored it and confirmed that there are no traces of radiation, it should be just an ordinary shipwreck." ”
"What's so tricky about that?" Ren Yi was stunned.
"All the cargo on board was spilled into the sea! At this moment, there are countless canned fruits, air-dried meats, freeze-dried vegetables, compressed biscuits, and even tons of soybeans floating on the surface of the sea! ”
"These things have rotted and seriously polluted the marine environment!"
Yes...... Ren Yi imagined the scene of all these things being soaked, like boiling a hot pot.
"And all this garbage has blocked the waterway! As a result, several ships that were supposed to arrive at the port today could not dock, which would have caused even more serious accidents if they had accidentally wrung into the engine! ”
"So you're looking for us...... Did you go to Haidilao? ”
"That's what it means." Xu Tianwei nodded simply and clearly, "You have a lot of people, and you have large vehicles, so the things you cleaned up can be transported away directly without taking up space on the dock." Last time, your business ability was unanimously recognized by the City Patrol Division, and we believe that this time the work can be entrusted to you. ”
Let's do it. Ren Yi has nothing to say, this is really shooting himself in the foot, but fortunately, the city patrol division is quite happy to give money.
Even if it's for the sake of money.
hung up the phone, Ren Yi flipped through the duty schedule arranged by Sister Li.
"Who is this going to do?" Ren Yi snorted while watching, "Since the last time I went out of the city, Astragalus's six halls have been idle. Hasn't he always wanted to make a lot of money, so forget it for him......"
When I called him, there was another noisy and shouting on the other side, and it seemed that he had gone to eat the fruit bowl again.
"Yo? Yes, brother, it's you! Got the business of the City Patrol Division so soon? Hahaha, it seems that it is the right choice to snatch you to Liutang! ”
Astragalus was very cheerful on the other side of the phone.
I hope you keep this optimistic attitude...... Ren Yi said in his heart.
It only took ten minutes for Astragalus to gather the people of Qi Liutang and rush to the hall of the dart game.
Liutang's convoy was parked on the road in front of the dart bureau again, as if Ren Yi had followed the large army out of the city for the first time.
"What? I heard that Ren Yi took a big order for our six halls? As soon as the dart masters entered the door, they excitedly inquired about each other, "I'll just say, we can handle the young owner, I really think about the big guy if there is something!" ”
Thirty minutes later, the convoy arrived at the pier.
Looking at the undulating and endless mass of garbage on the sea, everyone was dumbfounded.
"The City Patrol Division will give you four speedboats, and you will salvage the things on the sea as soon as possible and transport them to a no-man's land outside the city to be burned." Xu Tianwei walked over and said.
"That's what you're talking about making a lot of money?" Astragalus gritted its teeth.
The dart masters put on life jackets and took turns boarding the speedboat in groups of four. The dinghy has limited space and has to be loaded with garbage, so it can only be arranged in this way. Ren Yi was in the first batch, who let this job be recruited by him. In winter, the sea is almost dark green, and the waves are so fierce that the speedboat is constantly jolting. As soon as the boat started, the sea breeze whined and blew in his face, and he shivered with cold.
As the scene progressed, a patch of rotten oranges and sprouted soybeans floated on the water, and in the distance, a white freighter stopped there, rising and falling with the waves, like a giant beast in the sea. The tiny figures of the guards of the City Patrol Division shuttled back and forth on the deck. Ren Yi and the others had never seen a freighter so closely, and their hearts were full of oppression.
"Two people salvage, two people bag. Rotate every fifteen minutes. Astragalus commanded succinctly.
Ren Yi took the lead in grabbing the fishing net that was lying in the cabin and submerged in the water. When it was stirred horizontally, a heavy feeling of resistance was immediately heard. Ren Yi gritted his teeth and riveted all his strength, and hot sweat broke out on his forehead within two clicks.
After working tirelessly for most of the day, everyone was out of breath. The current is not fixed, and it is more difficult than you think to clear the sea. The dinghy has a small carrying capacity, and a lot of time is spent on the round trip.
"You're too tricky! Don't try to lie to me again! "Finally, in the middle of the afternoon, Astragalus finally had the opportunity to sit on the shore and rest.
Ren Yi was also dizzy, and found a clean place to sit down beside him, his stomach still turning over.
"I'm miserable too, right? The wine just disappeared two days ago, and today I took another day on the boat, and I didn't eat the boxed lunch, I remember that there were sweet and sour pork ribs at noon......"
Astragalus lit a cigarette, "If you want me to say, let's just do this thing and do it slowly." Anyway, the city patrol division is stupid and has a lot of money. ”
"We can't live anymore, you can't leave it alone!"
Suddenly, an earth-shattering cry erupted from the shore, and for a moment all the working dart masters on the beach looked back, only to see a group of emaciated and tearful women kneeling in front of a row of police cars in the city patrol division.
"Don't do that, everyone! We are not ...... from the Ministry of Public Security" Xu Tianwei and others got out of the car and were dissuading them one after another. But it didn't work, they insisted on kneeling on the ground, and they couldn't pull it up.
"We don't have anyone to take care of this! I was also forced to have no choice but to make this decision! ”
At the front of the kneeling crowd rang out a loud voice, a swarthy and stout woman, holding a white cloth with her hands faintly covered in red letters.
"What's wrong?" Ren Yi looked over there.
Astragalus was not surprised, "The black-hearted boss ran away in debt?" Or is it an accident and a dispute? ”
The woman in the distance, still kneeling on the ground, began to tell the story of the cause and effect, and the voice came.
"We are all family members of dock stevedores, and five days ago, my husband suddenly disappeared!"
"At first, I thought he drank too much at night and slept at his co-worker's house, but all his friends asked him, and no one saw him!"
"I went to the dock to look for it again, and the boss of the loading and unloading company only recognized money and not people, and didn't care about the lives of workers at all. even asked me to compensate him for the loss! ”
"I've searched all over the city, but I can't find anywhere. I wondered if he had accidentally fallen into the water, and the company was deliberately hiding it from me......" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she stretched out her hand to another woman who was crying bitterly and said, "At this time, another worker's daughter-in-law came to my house and said that her husband was also missing!" ”
"The two of us went out to inquire, and it turned out that more than a dozen people have been missing one after another in the past few days, and all of them are missing!"
"That's dozens of lives! They are the pillars of every family! If people say no, it's gone! What about the rest of us orphans and widows......"
Speaking of which, there was another wailing on the beach:
"My two children are still in elementary school, how can I afford them alone!"
"I still have a paralyzed old lady at home, and I have been in poor health for many years, so I am so poor that I can't open the pot......"
"Ask the City Patrol Division to call the shots for us!"
The leading woman burst into tears, and suddenly kowtowed like pounding garlic. The rest followed suit, and chaos arose on the seaside. The dart masters stopped working anymore and all stopped to watch the excitement.
"Don't worry, we will definitely attach great importance to the problems you reflect......"
Xu Tianwei had no choice but to pick up the walkie-talkie, and after a while, the red light flashed in the distance, and several police vans drove to pick them all up.
"Alas," looking at the back of the police car in the distance, Huang Qi sighed, "I guess I have met human traffickers." ”
Ren Yi was surprised: "Huh? Are there any other adult traffickers? ”
"Now in this world, there are many people doing this kind of business in the wilderness. Most of them were transported outside the city to work as laborers, or they were dragged to the waist. ”
"Excuse me...... Are you from Ren's Dart Game? ”
Suddenly, a weak woman's voice sounded beside the two, drawing their eyes back.
It was a haggard and emaciated young woman, with undried tears on her face and her hair tousled by the sea breeze. It was already winter, and she was still wearing a shabby sweater.
Ren Yi was stunned, "You are also a family member of the missing worker?" ”
The woman nodded, "Yes." They just go, my child has a high fever these days and can't leave. ”
"Oh...... So what are you looking for from us? ”
The woman said with some embarrassment: "I heard that Ren's dart game is very powerful, I have something, I want to ask you for a favor...... Ah, I can afford it! ”
Ren Yi scratched his head, "Help find your husband?" Now that the City Patrol Division is about to open a case for investigation, I think it's better to listen to the official arrangement, and we may cause trouble if we interfere indiscriminately. ”
"No, it's a child's business......" The woman looked at Ren Yi with sincere fear, "It's very simple, it won't cause you trouble!" ”
Yes? Ren Yi was confused, what can I do to help with the child's affairs? I can't cure a cold?
The woman took a deep breath and said, "My child, I always say it these days...... He saw ghosts. Just outside the window, staring at him. ”
